[06:52] <crabgrass> ANON12345: okay, and if ive done that,  how do i ensure that it won't override my partitions? do choose the "use largest contiguous space" option?
[06:52] <BioDeath> i think midnightsunray answered this before but i donot remember what he said exactly
[06:53] <Jordan_U> bradd, I recommend upgrading, Feisty is awesome :)
[06:53] <ANON12345> crabgrass: no, choose the "manual" option
[06:53] <bradd> Jordan_U, Breezy 5.10
[06:53] <walkintome> i just got my wireless working on fiesty and i have not been more excited ever!!!
[06:53] <BioDeath> yay!!
[06:53] <Jordan_U> bradd, Thats oooooold :)
[06:53] <walkintome> now im trying to get gnome to look like osx
[06:53] <megafauna> BioDeath: No, I have no idea, sorry. That looks like a proper question as opposed to quick tech help. Post it in the forum and you'll have better luck.
[06:53] <ANON12345> crabgrass: if you choose any other option, you will lose all of your partitions and data stored in them.
[06:53] <walkintome> does anyone know what this means? You need to install the gnome-common module and make
[06:53] <walkintome> sure the gnome-autogen.sh script is in your $PATH.
[06:53] <walkintome> michael@mciarlo:~/Desktop/avant-window-navigator-0.1.1$
[06:54] <Jordan_U> bradd, Almost two years old in fact :)
[06:54] <bradd> Jordan_U, oh SNAPS.... ok, well... I guess I'll see you around... is there a way to upgrade w/out a new CD?
[06:54] <megafauna> BioDeath: I'm just hanging out here
[06:54] <crabgrass> ANON12345: okay... and then what? do i have to select the drive, or just make sure it's mount point is / ?
[06:55] <alien8ed> Zachwlewis: System-Preferences-Sessions-make a new one called beryl and direct it to beryl-manager
[06:55] <BioDeath> ok
[06:55] <Jordan_U> bradd, Yes, but considering that you are going to have to upgrade one release at a time ie breezy -> Dapper -> Edgy -> Feisty it will take less time an less to download to just install Feisty fresh
[06:55] <walkintome> how do i install the gnome common module for ubuntu 7.04?
[06:55] <UNO|BOT> hello
[06:55] <bombice> hello
[06:55] <crabgrass> bombice: hi
[06:55] <HYPOCRISY> sup
[06:55] <cyberfr0g> Hi
[06:56] <bombice> i am in need of assistance
[06:56] <nautivus1> hi
[06:56] <shidan> Hi, under 7.04 my fonts look slightly doubled (the doubles are very faint) in gnome, what are the common problems for this
[06:56] <Jordan_U> walkintome, Do you mean gnome-control-center ?
[06:56] <bombice> thanks for the warm welcome
[06:56] <ANON12345> crabgrass: choose "Manual", reformat the partition you wish to use as "ext3", create a swap partition, then set your chosen partition's mount point (the ext3 one) as "/"
[06:56] <nautivus1> how ya doin
[06:56] <HYPOCRISY> private
[06:56] <cyberfr0g> ?
[06:56] <mikere> bombice: just ask the question - if we know the answer we'll answer =)
[06:56] <fog_proxy> Hi all. How to remove the module nsc_ircc from ubuntun start? I have tried to add 'blacklist nsc_ircc' to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, but not work
[06:56] <crabgrass> ANON12345: why reformat? and i'm going to be using resier for os, ext3 for all else
[06:56] <bradd> Jordan_U, yeah... ic, ok, well I've got work to do. Thanks for your help, I really appriciate your patience with me. I'm fairly new with this.
[06:57] <ANON12345> crabgrass: oh, i thought you were going to install ubuntu, can you give me more info on what your really wanting to do?
[06:57] <intelikey> without alsamixer  how can i adjust sound from the cli ?
[06:57] <Jordan_U> bradd, No problem :) just so you know though, breezy is no longer supported with security updates and bug fixes.
[06:57] <MasseR> intelikey: amixer
[06:57] <intelikey> MasseR not found
[06:58] <RD58> i need to know if there are any program like fake web cam 4linux?
[06:58] <walkintom1> im trying to install the avant-window application from this guide: http://www.taimila.com/osx-guide-2.php
[06:58] <MasseR> !amixer
[06:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about amixer - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:58] <bombice> im trying to install 7.04 on an amd 64 bit 5200+ with an 8800GTS from evga...the cd boots and no matter if i select install or install in safe graphics mode nothing will happen....i looks like its loading and then the screen goes blank but the computer continues to read the CD...still a blank screen.  HOWEVER everything works fine when i use vmware
[06:58] <crabgrass> ANON12345: i do want to install, but i want to have a / partition and /home as its own partition, and the installer isnt doing it for me
[06:58] <glick> hey the generic kernel
[06:58] <Jordan_U> RD58, What does fake web cam do ?
[06:58] <glick> is that the best one for my core-duo?
[06:58] <kalecon> evolution doesn't scroll message window bug, anyone have this bug too, I couldn't find it online?
[06:58] <shidan> anyone have any ideas why my fonts would look slightly doubled?
[06:59] <Jordan_U> bombice, Try the alternate CD
[06:59] <ANON12345> crabgrass: i believe "/home" is part of "/"
[06:59] <RD58> Jordan_U:do you speak portuguese?i dont speak english very well
[06:59] <bombice> ok...any reason?
[06:59] <brian|lfs> Anyone listen to the Linux link?
[06:59] <glick> whats the best kernel i should install?
[06:59] <Jordan_U> shidan, Could be that font anti-ailiasing isn't set up correctly for your monitor
[06:59] <brian|lfs> so guy was crying because his mouse won't paste in feisty
[06:59] <crabgrass> ANON12345: yeah, i think so... but then how do i have my home folder on a seperate partition from ubuntu itself?
[06:59] <brian|lfs> talk about complaining about stupid shit lol
[07:00] <RD58> Jordan_U:it direction the video to web cam you understand me?
[07:00] <mikere> bombice: usually when I have something like that I have to specify some options at the boot: prompt - things like acpi=off or noapic or nolapic or something for vga mode.  That suggestion about the alternate cd might be good too
[07:00] <ANON12345> crabgrass: i don't think this is possible
[07:00] <MasseR> crabgrass: Manually assigning it after the install?
[07:00] <glick> brian|lfs, seems important to me
[07:00] <MasseR> ANON12345: Sure it is
[07:00] <Jordan_U> !portuguese | RD58
[07:00] <ubotu> RD58: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[07:00] <MasseR> ANON12345: Why wouldn't it?
[07:00] <walkintome> You need to install the gnome-common module and make
[07:00] <walkintome> sure the gnome-autogen.sh script is in your $PATH.
[07:00] <walkintome>  does anyone know how to make sure i have done this?
[07:00] <crabgrass> MasseR: whoa... how do i do that?
[07:00] <bombice> once installed will it work normally with my 880gts?
[07:00] <bradd> Jordan_U, I'm dling 7.04 right now... DO you think it works well on a system with only 128Mb SRAM? I have another 256 in another machine, but it's not w/ me.
[07:00] <bombice> 8800gts*
[07:00] <mikere> bombice: some times the default kernel options and/or modules won't work with your hardware, thus the alternate cd as an option
[07:00] <crabgrass> ANON12345: i've heard of it being done
[07:00] <brian|lfs> ya but he made it sound like fesity isn't as good jsut becuase his mosue don't paste
[07:00] <dani> i used the kclean application to wipe out junk files, but now kubuntu won't boot
[07:00] <|Death|> how do I get the xwin back with a riva tnt 2??
[07:00] <RD58> Jordan_U:fake web cam is for win
[07:00] <dani> how can i repair it
[07:00] <brian|lfs> really how many people have 6 button mice?
[07:01] <MasseR> crabgrass: after installation make a backup of your /home and format the other partition and mount it in /home/
[07:01] <bombice> mikere: thanks ill give it a shot
[07:01] <dani> brian i do
[07:01] <MasseR> */home
[07:01] <Falstius> bradd: in console mode it will be great!
[07:01] <ANON12345> crabgrass: i never heard of it,
[07:01] <MasseR> Ask for someone else about details (fstab etc)
[07:01] <bradd> Jordan_U, ...(dot dot dot)
[07:01] <kski> anyone know why the fans in my laptop don't even start when linux boots but run just fine in xp?
[07:01] <crabgrass> MasseR: wait, what other partition?
[07:01] <bombice> mikere: are there any specail setup instructions i should follow
[07:01] <MasseR> kski: Bug in kernel
[07:01] <mikere> bombice: I'd try booting with noapic nolapic acpi=off first (and mebbe the vga mode thing but I don't recall how to invoke it off hand) and only download another cd if you have to
[07:01] <MasseR> kski: Install later kernel
[07:01] <alien8ed> hey...i have an 8-button mice on my desktop :p
[07:01] <Jordan_U> bradd, It may be a little slow, if it is go with xubuntu ( it is just another set of packages, you can convert from ubuntu to xubuntu easily after install )
[07:01] <kski> which kernel?
[07:02] <MasseR> kski: Or 2.6.17 IIRC
[07:02] <kalecon> shidan: choose a different Font Rendering setting under (System-Preferences-Fonts section)
[07:02] <glick> how do i know if the default kernel is the best for my systm?
[07:02] <mikere> bombice: I'm just a regular guy - no serious expertise - just things I've had work in similar situations when installing some linux distros
[07:02] <MasseR> kski: I have 2.6.20.something.. 5 I think. Well 2 but with patches from 5
[07:02] <ANON12345> crabgrass: you may have to create another partition for /home
[07:02] <bef> lOLLLLLL
[07:02] <eNons3nse> hey.  what program can i use to put video on an ipod?
[07:02] <brian|lfs> does your mouse paste dani?
[07:02] <eNons3nse> gtkpod isn't letting me do it
[07:02] <bob777> Hello, I have a weird problem configuring Samba, I created a share as a path /bob and it works perfectly, when I change the path from /bob to /home/bob, it doesn't work anymore even if /home has a 755 access, what could I do please?
[07:02] <kski> MasseR: the kernel in 7.04 isn't new enough?
[07:02] <Jordan_U> RD58, It is almost definately possible, but I don't know how :(
[07:03] <berent> can anyone suggest me a good firewall for my edgy
[07:03] <mikere> bombice: the only things I can suggest are to read any instructions on ubuntu web site/wiki, search forums, google and then ask questions here if you can't find answer
[07:03] <MasseR> kski: Well these are my experiences with gentoo (my laptop has gentoo)
[07:03] <alien8ed> enonsense: have you been able to play aac's off your ipod in gtkpod?
[07:03] <berent> !firewall
[07:03] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[07:03] <bombice> mikere: thanks im there now
[07:03] <eNons3nse> Can Amerok Put Video On An Ipod?
[07:03] <Jordan_U> !firewall | berent
[07:03] <ubotu> berent: please see above
[07:03] <MasseR> kski: I had the same trouble with edgy. I fixed it by installing 6.04:s kernel
[07:03] <bombice> ill let you know how it goes
[07:03] <MasseR> Or whatever it was
[07:03] <philwhln> exit
[07:03] <RD58> Jordan_U: ok thank you
[07:03] <kalecon> berent: try Firestarter
[07:03] <philwhln> :D whoops
[07:03] <kski> really? the older version worked fine?
[07:04] <mikere> bombice: cool - best of luck and we're here if you get any more info to post on the situation
[07:04] <eNons3nse> alien8ed, i don't know.  i'm trying with a friends ipod.  i use an archos player and it works fine.
[07:04] <bradd> Jordan_U, Under the "start download" button, there's a check box that reads "Check here if you need the alternate desktop cd suited for computers with less than 256Mb of RAM"
[07:04] <MasseR> kski: SOmething along the line of 2.6.17 or 15
[07:04] <bradd> Jordan_U, so, would I want that?
[07:04] <glick> us the ubuntu generic kernel the best for my core-duo?
[07:04] <eNons3nse> anyone?
[07:04] <berent> kalecon : I want a robust firewall which never gives out my ip even by commands like dig
[07:04] <alien8ed> yea...damn, im trying to get my aac files to play
[07:05] <eNons3nse> Can Anyone Help Me Get Video On An Ipod?
[07:05] <Jordan_U> bradd, Yes, it just has a text based installer ( identical to Breesie's ) instead of a full LiveCD
[07:05] <Jordan_U> glick, Yes
[07:05] <kski> ok thanks, i'll check it out. i have to have this thing running on top of a window fan to keep from overheating and locking up. i was about ready to throw it out the window
[07:05] <berent>  I want a robust firewall which never gives out my ip even by commands like dig
[07:05] <kalecon> berent: does dig reveal with IP Masquerading also?
[07:05] <mikere> glick: if I want the *best* kernel for my system I usually compile a kernel myself from source - that way I can specify the exact cpu and options I want.
[07:05] <bradd> Jordan_U,  OH NOS! I just realized.... I'm running on 64Mb SRAM! (I found this computer)
[07:06] <glick> coooo
[07:06] <Grape_Juice> 0.o
[07:06] <Jordan_U> bradd, Definately want Xubuntu then, and even that... maybe DSL :)
[07:06] <bombice> Feisty is not compatible to GeForce 8800 GTS / GTX
[07:06] <bombice> :(
[07:06] <mikere> bombice: where'd you find that info?

[07:07] <jemmille> can you reinstall ubuntu 7.04 without losing data?
[07:07] <KL2CR> Anybody here got a Intel wireless system working on their laptop with Ubuntu?
[07:07] <ceeg> anyone know how good performance wise photoshop is under virtualbox on a mid-range comp?
[07:07] <ceeg> jemmille, create a backup partition, maybe
[07:07] <cafuego> ceeg: Nowhere near as good as Gimp running natively.
[07:07] <jemmille> ceeg, that's what i figured
[07:07] <jemmille> thanks
[07:07] <berent> kalecon : No but I don't dig to reveal my server also
[07:07] <bradd> Jordan_U, ok, where would I find that?
[07:07] <kalecon> ceeg: i use Photoshop 7 with crossover office, runs really well .
[07:08] <berent> kalecon : No but I don't want dig to reveal my server also
[07:08] <Jordan_U> bradd, xubuntu.com/get
[07:08] <ceeg> cafuego, i really tried to use gimp, really. if it had all the shortcuts and such that i'm used to i'd be more willing :[ i'm just not productive with it.
[07:08] <bradd> Jordan_U, sweet, thx. bbl
[07:08] <kalecon> berent: ugh!  ok.. that's over my head... sorry
[07:08] <cafuego> ceeg: Yeah, you need to use it for a week or two, to get into it.
[07:08] <ceeg> kelvie, is it any different than 7 under wine? like are the resizing pallette bugs gone, etc.
[07:09] <Geoffrey2> sigh....yet one more kernel build bombs on me....I can't believe the code would be that buggy, so I'm left wondering what on earth I'm missing here....
[07:09] <walkintome> hi all
[07:09] <walkintome> i am a linux noob and i was hoping to get some help customizing gnome
[07:09] <ceeg> cafuego, i used it for 2 or 3 weeks. don't know man, just can't be as productive as i am with photoshop. web designer/graphics artist by trade. a lot of the brush options i'm used to are too different or simply not there
[07:09] <khermans> cafuego, gimp cannot replace photoshop for real graphic designers
[07:09] <berent> kalecon : just kidding
[07:09] <walkintome> im not familiar with how to resolve errors when installing certain packages so if anyone could offer their help, it would greatly be appreciated
[07:09] <mikere> bombice: I just read that thread - appears that not everyone agrees with the original poster
[07:09] <jl> hi everyone, i don't know if you have a problem with an error message "kio_file" when launch a kde app
[07:10] <bombice> mikere: im finding that too
[07:10] <bombice> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-nvidia-acceleration-in-feisty-nvidia-8800-and-legacy-users.html
[07:10] <khermans> cafuego, i had a gf once that i couldnt convert, and been with many graphic design chix since then too...heh
[07:10] <ceeg> khermans, , is it any different than 7 under wine? like are the resizing pallette bugs gone, etc.
[07:10] <cafuego> khermans: Real graphic designers have no business running photoshop anyway, they should be using illustrator -- um, inkscape :-)
[07:10] <ceeg> or kalecon  rather
[07:10] <Grape_Juice> lol
[07:10] <bombice> it looks like im in for quite the night
[07:10] <jl> i guess it is a feisty bug
[07:10] <alien8ed> anybody get their free ubuntu stickers: http://www.system76.com/index.php/cPath/53_64
[07:10] <khermans> cafuego, in truth they use all adobe products
[07:10] <bombice> i think ill but out the laptop so i can stay connected while i get my desktop on ubuntu
[07:11] <khermans> ceeg, dunno, i use gimp :-)
[07:11] <bullgard4> What DEB program package contains the program 'iwlist'?
[07:11] <Jordan_U> cafuego, xara :)
[07:11] <bombice> ive got ubuntu on the lappy ;)
[07:11] <khermans> bullgard4, packages.ubuntu.com
[07:11] <ceeg> kalecon, is it any different than 7 under wine? like are the resizing pallette bugs gone, etc.
[07:11] <cafuego> khermans: Some do, I know a fair few who don't, but use floss tools intead. Gimp, inkscape, Scribus.
[07:12] <berent> bombice : lappy ?
[07:12] <Jordan_U> bullgard4, Should be installed by default

[07:12] <|Death|> how do I run the xwindows configuration again?? I installed a riva tnt 2 and now it doesnt boot to xwindows
[07:12] <variant> |Death|: X -configure
[07:12] <variant> |Death|: or dpkg-reconfigure xorg
[07:12] <variant> i think thats the ubuntu way
[07:13] <variant> |Death|: or dpkg-reconfigure xorg-x11
[07:13] <bullgard4> Jordan_U: Even so, what you wrote does not answer my question.
[07:13] <intelikey> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:13] <alien8ed> i installed feisty on my week old laptop because i couldnt stand vista, went to xp and my wireless wouldnt work
[07:13] <mweichert> hey guys, I'm trying to decide what virtualization method to use when deploying my servers... but there's so many to choose from - Xen, KVM, VmWare, and I don't know how many others. Can anyone offer me some advise?
[07:13] <variant> bullgard4: what he is trying to say is, go look on packages.ubuntu.com because he doesn't know
[07:13] <alien8ed> try running the restore cd's and it said they were corrupt
[07:13] <rimtech> how can I connect to a socket with vncviewer???
[07:13] <variant> mweichert: what do you want to do with your virtual servers?
[07:13] <bullgard4> variant: I will do what you said.
[07:14] <alien8ed> call sony tech support and they say they dont support os downgrades
[07:14] <khermans> bullgard4, im teaching you how to answer all your future question like that
[07:14] <RD58> hao to install a wmv plug in in ubuntu feiyst?
[07:14] <alien8ed> so im gonna have to buy a new copy of vista :p
[07:14] <khermans> go to packages.ubuntu.com
[07:14] <Jordan_U> alien8ed, So this is a problem with windows?
[07:14] <mweichert> variant: 1) database server, 2) web and ftp server, 3) mail server
[07:14] <walkintome> anyone willing ot help a linux noob customize his gnome?
[07:14] <khermans> bullgard4, then in the second search field, find all packages who contain a file like you want 'iwlist'
[07:14] <glick> hmm
[07:14] <glick> i just enabled the nvidia drivers
[07:14] <glick> but things still look kina crappy
[07:15] <mikere> rimtech: I haven't used that program before but with many vnc type viewers you can specify xx.xx.xx.xx:yy where yy is the port number
[07:15] <variant> mweichert: personally i would go with the free software options
[07:15] <alien8ed> well its not a problem anymore but yes, it was windows fault
[07:15] <variant> mweichert: depends what os you want to virtualise also
[07:15] <RD58> wmv in ubuntu feysti how to?
[07:15] <rimtech> mikere: do you know what a socket is?
[07:15] <rimtech> mikere: as in a file used for transport instead of ip address and port?
[07:15] <mweichert> variant: KVM seems to be supported the best in Ubuntu, eh?

[07:16] <glick> the max
[07:16] <mikere> rimtech: ah - sorry nope - was thinking port =)
[07:16] <variant> mweichert: might be easyest to get going..
[07:16] <rimtech> mikere: yeah it's really silly... the vnc documentation goes on and on about how to listen on a socket... but it doesn't say anything about connecting to said socket
[07:16] <kalecon> ceeg: mine runs the same as winxp ...I haven't noticed this problem
[07:16] <ben__> I have a modprobe instance which seems to have got stuck in a loop. It's been running for over 6 hours, keeping the CPU at 100% utilisation pretty much constantly. It looks to be probing a USB device; presumably my printer.  I've managed to renice it, but is there anyway to stop it, short of rebooting? :-)
[07:16] <mweichert> I've used Xen in SLES, and had many problems with it... but I'm willing to get it a second chance on Ubuntu. And VmWare, well it's had a good name for itself for a while now
[07:16] <khermans> RD58, sudo aptitude install mozilla-mplayer
[07:17] <Geoffrey2> I'm trying to build the 2.4 linux kernel, I'm getting a number of undefined references to __stack_chk_fail in, I believe, vmlinux...can anyone help me figure out what's wrong/what I'm doing wrong?
[07:17] <kalecon> My crossover 6.01
[07:17] <ceeg> kalecon, i tried running ps7 with wine, and if i had an image loaded, i couldnt resize the palletes without it crashing. also the colors were off. and simple things like right click -> crop did not work. can't right click layers either
[07:18] <glick> ok thats beter
[07:18] <glick> better
[07:18] <khermans> ceeg, did you try wine 0.3.5 ?
[07:18] <rimtech> how can I connect to a socket with vncviewer???
[07:18] <khermans> rimtech, vncviewer <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:18] <variant> rimtech: i think you mean port..
[07:18] <ceeg> khermans, i'm not sure which wine i was using. i'll give it a shot though.
[07:18] <bombice|laptop> ok laptop up and running
[07:18] <khermans> rimtech, vncviewer <IP_ADDRESS>:port ?
[07:19] <bombice|laptop> time to burn the alt. cd
[07:19] <kalecon> ceeg: mine's flawless on Feisty, everything works.  I have all my features, but I set up color management settings on startup
[07:19] <getoo> I'm using ERC Version 5.1.4 with GNU Emacs 21.4.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2007-01-16.
[07:19] <jemmille> RD58, need help with wmv in linux?
[07:20] <ceeg> kalecon, must be a newer version of wine than what was provided in the repos with edgy. i'll try it out, thanks :)
[07:20] <rimtech> khermans, variant: i am actually using QEMU/KVM and I am trying to set up the vnc server to act locally, to prevent the mouse jitter issue i'm having with an xp install in KVM....
[07:20] <kalecon> ceeg: I use the 'web developer' colour defaults.

[07:21] <variant> mweichert: no idea, probably not
[07:21] <bombice|laptop> sorry i didnt think it still worked
[07:21] <alekz> hi, i've installed xubuntu but have no menus, how can i enable them ?
[07:21] <alien8ed> does rockbox run on the ipod?  is it a firmware update?
[07:21] <kalecon> ceeg: BTW, I still prefer Gimp, but a friend needs both CMYK & RGB  output . he has an RBG printer.
[07:21] <variant> alien8ed: yes it is.. not 2nd gen nano though
[07:21] <Flannel> alien8ed: the factoid seems to indicate yes, and yes it's firmware
[07:21] <glick> is there any way i can make it so it does not automatically mount the other partitions on the harddrive?
[07:21] <variant> alien8ed: try #ubuntu-offtopic there.. or #ipodlinux or smoething
[07:22] <Jordan_U> glick, Comment out the entries in your fstab
[07:22] <kalecon> ceeg: RGB commercial printer that is.
[07:22] <alien8ed> variant: okay, sorry about that
[07:22] <variant> alien8ed: no need to apologise to me
[07:22] <ceeg> kalecon, if there was a photoshop->gimp transition document or screencast or something i'd be much more willing to convert, haha. i've given it more than a shot and i, for some reason, just cannot be as productive in it.
[07:23] <glick> thanks Jordan_U
[07:23] <Jordan_U> ceeg, You can try Gimpshop but it's probably just the worst of both worlds :)
[07:24] <thebillywayne> the best thing about ubuntu is you guys.  :)
[07:24] <ghostkernel> Beryl kicks butt
[07:24] <FunnyLookinHat> Lol
[07:24] <kalecon> ceeg: I had installed it under XP & Ubuntu when I dual booted..and I just got really used to its stylling.
[07:24] <FunnyLookinHat> yes, beryl does kick butt
[07:25] <ghostkernel> totally
[07:25] <Grape_Juice> hehehe, I did something bad.... :p
[07:25] <kski> why does ubuntu show my wireless card as a wired connection?
[07:25] <stryph> I just got beryl working all nicely... and i was wondering where the settings are for the options when rightclicking the title bar... i used to use that all the time to move my windows to other desktops... any help would be appreciated
[07:25] <Geoffrey2> anything I need to add to be able to the menus on DVDs?
[07:25] <nextstate> I updated to 7.04 and now my sound does not work. Is this common? Where do I start to fix it?
[07:25] <FunnyLookinHat> kski, sometimes the chipsets just get mistaken for being wired even though they are wireless, especially intel wireless
[07:25] <Grape_Juice> I renamed /usr/bin/nautilus to /usr/bin/open :)  I can't quite see how this would be bad, but it has to be in some way.  I'm thinking.....possibly nautilus updates?
[07:25] <FunnyLookinHat> nextstate, try searching for your sound card in ubuntuforums.org and see if someone has posted a fix
[07:26] <nextstate> ok, thanks
[07:26] <variant> Grape_Juice: why whould you do such a thing
[07:26] <variant> ?
[07:26] <Grape_Juice> Because I'm used to open'ing something on the Mac terminal. :p
[07:26] <Jordan_U> stryph, Not the same but you can always ctrl+alt+shift+arrow key (easier done than said :)
[07:26] <walkintome> anyone want to help a linux noob customize gnome?
[07:26] <variant> Grape_Juice: it means that any program that calls /usr/bin/nautilus will fail
[07:26] <Flannel> Grape_Juice: If you want "open" to work, in addition to nautilus, make a symlink, don't rename.
[07:26] <Grape_Juice> Plus, nautilus is a sucky nam. :p
[07:26] <grayman_> Grape_Juice, you could make a sim link
[07:26] <kalecon> There is of course /GimpShop/ ..I think its called..and it has menu styles like Photoshop. it's freeware. google it.
[07:26] <walkintome> im pretty helpless right now
[07:26] <Grape_Juice> Thank you. :)  I'll try simlinks. :)
[07:26] <grayman_> *symlink
[07:26] <Flannel> Grape_Juice: however, "open" does already exist.  twice, actually.
[07:26] <Grape_Juice> symlinks. :p*
[07:26] <FunnyLookinHat> walkintome, i t will be easier for people to help you if you ask specific questions   : )
[07:27] <variant> Grape_Juice: rename it back to nautilus and run this: sudo ln /usr/bin/open /usr/bin/nautilus
[07:27] <Grape_Juice> It doesn't work inmine...
[07:27] <Grape_Juice> Okay. :)
[07:27] <dondon> anyone else running into problems recompling gpodder w/ feisty?
[07:27] <variant> Grape_Juice: yeah actually, that won;t work :P
[07:27] <variant> seeings as it exists
[07:27] <Jordan_U> kalecon, It's just a pet peeve of mine, sorry... but Free software != freeware
[07:27] <bef> Where do I get aac codec for Banshee
[07:27] <variant> and i missed the "-s"
[07:27] <grayman_> well
[07:27] <Flannel> variant: doesn't exist by default, but there are packages that provide it
[07:27] <grayman_> you could make an alias
[07:27] <variant> Flannel: i see
[07:28] <FunnyLookinHat> bef, install the restricted codecs package in the Add/Remove package manager, should take care of it
[07:28] <grayman_> Grape_Juice, you can make an alias for it
[07:28] <bef> FunnyLookinHat: Didn't, only mp3 etc.
[07:28] <grayman_> Grape_Juice, then apps won't conflict with it
[07:28] <variant> that was my next suggestion
[07:28] <variant> :)
[07:28] <kski> FunnyLookinHat: so how do i get wireless extensions on my wireless card then?
[07:28] <Grape_Juice> Just alias nautilus and rename the alias to "open"?
[07:28] <variant> Grape_Juice: man alias
[07:28] <walkintome> FunnyLookinHat: well, im basicalyl trying to follow a guide on making gnome look like osx, but i have no idea how to install anything it talks about
[07:28] <Grape_Juice> Thank you. :)
[07:29] <walkintome> FunnyLookinHat:  as im a linux noob
[07:29] <FunnyLookinHat> kski, I wouldn't bother messing with it as long as it's working...  my wireless is called eth1 but works fine, no point in trying to rename or mess with what already works
[07:29] <Grape_Juice> No man entry for alias... 0.o
[07:29] <kalecon> Jordan_U: Hey..I'm french man... my brain thinks funny with english..lol
[07:29] <grayman_> Grape_Juice, no. make an alias named open for nautilus
[07:29] <variant> Grape_Juice: type alias on it's own then.. or with --help
[07:29] <ben__> Sorry to re-post, but I'm out of ideas on this. :-( " I have a modprobe instance which seems to have got stuck in a loop. It's been running for over 6 hours, keeping the CPU at 100% utilisation pretty much constantly. It looks to be probing a USB device; presumably my printer.  I've managed to renice it, but is there anyway to stop it, short of rebooting? :-)"
[07:29] <variant> Grape_Juice: type man woman too
[07:29] <FunnyLookinHat> walkintome, sounds like all you really want/need is avant-window-navigator
[07:29] <stryph> Jordan_U, thats cool and all but meh i was hoping there would be a guesture  or something where i wouldent take my hands off the mouse call me lazy lol
[07:29] <Grape_Juice> lol
[07:29] <kski> FunnyLookinHat: but i can't set anything up with iwconfig
[07:30] <FunnyLookinHat> kski, you shouldn't have to use iwconfig...  try using the network manager in your system tray?
[07:30] <walkintome> http://www.taimila.com/ubuntuosx.php   I'm trying to follow this guide, but i need help badly =)
[07:30] <grayman_> Grape_Juice, you can add an alias to .bash_profile
[07:30] <FunnyLookinHat> walkintome, Follow this tutorial for AWN (Avant Window Navigator) ---  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=385981&highlight=avant+window
[07:30] <amicrawler> how do i enable auto paste for the middle botton of the mouse?
[07:30] <kski> FunnyLookinHat: that takes all the fun out of using the command line
[07:30] <walkintome> FunnyLookinHat: thank you!
[07:30] <Geoffrey2> if I want to play DVD movies, would I be better with gstreamer or xine?
[07:31] <FunnyLookinHat> walkintome, then you can just remove your bottom panel and run that program on your startup instead  : )
[07:31] <FunnyLookinHat> kski, uhhh...  ubuntu = you shouldn't have to use the command line
[07:31] <foo> Hm, how do I tell aptitude what source to use? apt-cache show package shows me Package: php5 Version: 5.2.1-0.dotdeb.2... aptitude install libapache2-mod-php5 php5=5.2.1-0.dotdeb.2 = no go. Any ideas?
[07:31] <walkintome> FunnyLookinHat: how do i install compiz?
[07:31] <Grape_Juice> [22:30:29]  <grayman_> Grape_Juice, you can add an alias to .bash_profile <---how would I do that?
[07:31] <grayman_> Grape_Juice, that will save you from doing it every time
[07:31] <walkintome> FunnyLookinHat: and get my nvidia card working
[07:31] <Grape_Juice> :)
[07:31] <glick> damn i have to configure this again now
[07:31] <glick> man
[07:32] <FunnyLookinHat> walkintome, I would install beryl instead of compiz if I were you... but if you would like to use compiz it's as easy as going to System - Preferences - Desktop Effects and checking hte boxes
[07:32] <alka_trash> oh boy!, I'm downloading "World of Padman"
[07:32] <grayman_> Grape_Juice, you open /home/yourname/.bash_profile in your favorite text editor and add it after everything else
[07:32] <grayman_> don't forget the dot
[07:32] <walkintome> oh, does anyone know how to add a wireless usb adapter to the list of stuff that works for ndiswrapper?
[07:32] <FunnyLookinHat> walkintome, nvidia card ---  System - Admininstration - Restricted Drivers Manager   --- Check the box to enable the proprietary driver
[07:32] <walkintome> FunnyLookinHat: desktop effects doesnt work
[07:32] <kski> is there anyway to see a verbose mode when ubuntu is loading?
[07:32] <Grape_Juice> Thanks grayman_. :)
[07:32] <Jordan_U> walkintome, My advice, look at the orange look by the same guy, it's not just an Apple knock off and it looks sweet ( and has an automatic install script :)
[07:32] <variant> kski: press alt f2
[07:32] <FunnyLookinHat> walkintome, makes sense since you havne't installed the correct nvidia driver yet...  I would just use beryl anyways if I were you
[07:32] <glick> is there a reason why i cant go to a higher resolution then 1200x 1100?
[07:33] <grayman_> Grape_Juice, will take effect only after you reload it
[07:33] <walkintome> FunnyLookinHat: how do i install the nvidia drivers?
[07:33] <FunnyLookinHat> walkintome, to install beryl follow this:    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BerylOnFeisty
[07:33] <walkintome> FunnyLookinHat:  and use beryl?
[07:33] <grayman_> Grape_Juice, so easiest way is to close and open terminal again
[07:33] <walkintome> FunnyLookinHat:  wow your way ahead of me lol
[07:33] <glick> 1280x1024
[07:33] <Jordan_U> glick, What gfx card do you have?
[07:33] <FunnyLookinHat> walkintome,  : )   That page should help with both beryl and the driver to get it working correctly
[07:33] <bullgard4> khermans: I have found it. Thank you.
[07:33] <glick> Jordan_U, nvidia 7300 LE
[07:33] <walkintome> FunnyLookinHat: thanks man!
[07:34] <Jordan_U> glick, Are you using the restricted drivers and is 1280x1024 listed in your xorg.conf ?
[07:34] <FunnyLookinHat> walkintome, no worries...  I might be going to bed soon so if you have any questions just ask the channel and see if someone responds   : )
[07:34] <crackintosh> if i make /var/www writeable by a user other than root, could that pose as a problem?
[07:34] <glick> Jordan_U, i enabled it using the restricted drivers menu
[07:34] <glick> Jordan_U, i havent checked my xorg.conf
[07:35] <bef> JESUS LOVES ME
[07:35] <Jordan_U> glick, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:35] <FunnyLookinHat> crackintosh, it's technically not a safe thing to do in terms of system security...  but it probably wouldn't be all that awful
[07:35] <walkintome> FunnyLookinHat: i dont know how to install the nvidia driver
[07:36] <walkintome> FunnyLookinHat: it tells me to use the driver manager but i cant enable it
[07:36] <FunnyLookinHat> walkintome, you are on Feisty right?
[07:36] <bef> walkintome: use automatix then hehe
[07:36] <walkintome> FunnyLookinHat: yes
[07:36] <glick> Jordan_U, not installed
[07:36] <glick> that command
[07:36] <FunnyLookinHat> walkintome, Go to System - Admininstration - Restricted Drivers Manager
[07:36] <Jordan_U> !automatix | bef walkintome
[07:36] <ubotu> bef walkintome: Automatix2 is a proprietary script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[07:36] <walkintome> FunnyLookinHat: whats the deal with automatrix /automatrix2...people tell me not to install it ...others say its almost necessary
[07:36] <|Death|> what the name of the ubuntu gui??
[07:37] <|Death|> and how do i reconfigure it?
[07:37] <Grape_Juice> !WorksForMe
[07:37] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[07:37] <FunnyLookinHat> walkintome, it's a bad program, don't use it.  People are just too lazy to look up the correct way to do things.
[07:37] <bef> Jordan_U: its perfectly fine for the Nvidia
[07:37] <Grape_Juice> ahaha
[07:37] <Madpilot> walkintome, people who say it's necessary do not, in fact, know what they're talking about.
[07:37] <walkintome> FunnyLookinHat: ok im in the restricted drivers manager
[07:37] <kalecon> !WorksForMe
[07:37] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[07:37] <Jordan_U> bef, But it is obsoleted by the restricted driver manager
[07:37] <FunnyLookinHat> walkintome, ok, just check the box that says "Enabled" next to the Nvidia accelerated graphics driver and click close
[07:37] <bef> walkintome: its definately not neccesary, it's just easy for new users who dont understand how to do things themselves :P
[07:38] <bullgard4> Left-click on NetworkManager_Applet 0.6.4 shows only 2 entries: 'Wired Network' and 'Manual configuration...'. Some days ago it also listed 4 WLANs next to me. How to restore the old setting?
[07:38] <walkintome> FunnyLookinHat: it doesnt stay checked
[07:38] <Grape_Juice> It makes you give the program too much power... 0.o
[07:38] <FunnyLookinHat> walkintome, does it give an error message?
[07:38] <|Death|> how can I enable restricted drivers in the console??
[07:38] <walkintome> FunnyLookinHat: no it just doesnt do anything
[07:38] <stryph> i've never been able to get into the restricted drivers manager... could that be a problem
[07:38] <FunnyLookinHat> walkintome, wahhhh...   hmm weird.
[07:38] <walkintome> FunnyLookinHat:  im running a geforce 7800 gtx 256 mb
[07:38] <FunnyLookinHat> walkintome, yea it works great with my GeForce 7900 GT
[07:38] <pressureman> hey, is it just me, or does ubuntu server amd64 install linux-image-generic by default, whereas i386 installs linux-image-server by default?

[07:39] <walkintome> FunnyLookinHat: shoudl i try to reboot?

[07:41] <bombice|laptop> yell
[07:41] <bombice|laptop> ;p
[07:41] <glick> the 7300 LE nvidia uses some shared system ram
[07:41] <glick> so when X reconfigure asks me how much memory will be used by the card should i leave it blank?
[07:42] <mikere> justnulling2: if you have gnome up and running, click System-->Preferences-->Screen Resolution and select it there.  If it's not there it  gets a bit more complicated
[07:42] <FunnyLookinHat> glick, yea, leave it blank...  but to be honest you shouldn't have to bother with that if you are on feisty and you the restricted drivers manager
[07:42] <tjb13> hey guys what is the best newsgroup reader/downloader for gnome

[07:43] <eNons3nse> tjb13, I really like Pan a lot.

[07:43] <eNons3nse> tjb13, haven't found one that i like better
[07:43] <tjb13> nice ok
[07:43] <FunnyLookinHat> yea Pan is cool

[07:46] <bombice|laptop> i herd rumors that they are trying to port DX10 to linux and mac...any thoughts?
[07:46] <mwe> linux kernel 2.6.21 is out. nice ...
[07:46] <FunnyLookinHat> arooni, your best bet is to search for your laptop model and the word suspend in ubuntuforums.org
[07:46] <FunnyLookinHat> bombice|laptop, it's probably not going to work out too well   : )
[07:47] <arooni> FunnyLookinHat: look by exact model nmae?  or sony in general
[07:47] <bombice|laptop> i would assume so
[07:47] <FunnyLookinHat> arooni, exact model name
[07:47] <walkintom1> FunnyLookinHat: when trying to check the nvidia driver it asks me to enable driver, i click the button to do so, and then nothing happens
[07:47] <bombice|laptop> thats the only thing vista has going for it...are the badass dx10 games...ie www.alanwake.com
[07:48] <FunnyLookinHat> walkintom1, does the box at least stay checked?  If so you're going to have to close that window and restart your X window manager
[07:48] <walkintom1> FunnyLookinHat: it doesnt stay checked
[07:48] <mwe> bombice|laptop: who would port DX10? Certainly not the OSS community.
[07:48] <glick> i dont want to enable framebuffer do it?
[07:48] <walkintom1> FunnyLookinHat: how do i restart it
[07:48] <bombice|laptop> its just a rumor i herd
[07:48] <sgtmattbaker> helo I put the path to one of my scripts in rc.local and it didn't run on boot
[07:48] <glick> use kernel framebuffer device interfacE?
[07:48] <FunnyLookinHat> walkintom1, go to the shutdown button in the top right and choose logout, then when at the login screen hit Control+Alt+Backspace
[07:49] <tjb13> how come pan only supports a max of 4 connections
[07:49] <anasha> FunnyLookinHat, it is asking for linux-headers-2.6.20-13-386 and it is not available
[07:50] <chris345> Just moved a dual drive raid 0 array to this box and it's not showing up in /dev/mdstat, /dev/md0 exists but "mdadm: cannot get array into for /dev/md0" any ideas?
[07:50] <mwe> bombice|laptop: MS propriatry stuff is not very popular in the OSS community
[07:50] <walkintome> FunnyLookinHat: still wont stay checked
[07:50] <Lathiat> chris345: try "mdadm --assemble --scan"
[07:50] <glick> do i want to enable the kernel framebuffer?
[07:50] <walkintome> FunnyLookinHat: i also cannot connect to my aim account on gaim saying my password is incorrect (but i know it is correct)
[07:50] <ben__> sgtmattbaker, is your script executable?
[07:50] <justnulling2> mkiere: only not wide screen resolution are there
[07:51] <FunnyLookinHat> anasha, I forget exactly what you're trying to do....  but you're going to want linux-headers-2.6.20-15-386    best to just search for it in synaptic by "linux-headers" and install that way
[07:51] <sgtmattbaker> ben_: yes
[07:51] <Lathiat> glick: try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"
[07:51] <Lathiat> glick: should stop it asking most of those questions
[07:51] <sgtmattbaker> ben_: it works if I run it normally, but not if it is in rc.local (the path to it)
[07:51] <Lathiat> glick: (what are you trying to change?)
[07:51] <FunnyLookinHat> walkintome, that's weird crud.  very weird.  um...  for the graphics card, try searching ubuntuforums.org with your exact model graphics card and words like "feisty driver" or something....
[07:51] <glick> Lathiat, resolution
[07:51] <chris345> Lathiat, mdadm: no devices found for /dev/.static/dev/md0 mdadm: no devices found for /dev/.static/dev/md1 .. crap.. any more ideas?
[07:51] <FunnyLookinHat> walkintome, for the GAIM stuff, I have no idea...  never seen that problem before
[07:51] <braniff> is there something like "iTunes" for linux ????
[07:51] <anasha> FunnyLookinHat, I want to install macbook isight camera in ubuntu and it requires linux-headers-2.6.20-13-386 which is not avaialble
[07:52] <walkintome> FunnyLookinHat: haha i actualyl had my own password wrong
[07:52] <Lathiat> glick: ah ok, ignore what is aid then
[07:52] <FunnyLookinHat> anasha, but you're most likely on the 20-15 kernel, not 20-13...  so just install 20-15 instead.  it will work.
[07:52] <FunnyLookinHat> walkintome, : )
[07:52] <Lathiat> anasha: what is the output of 'uname -a'
[07:52] <Lathiat> anasha: if it is something-generic then install linux-headers-generic
[07:52] <FunnyLookinHat> you mean uname -r?    : )
[07:52] <anasha> FunnyLookinHat, ok
[07:52] <Lathiat> FunnyLookinHat: well, yeh,
[07:53] <FunnyLookinHat> :-D
[07:53] <Lathiat> FunnyLookinHat: uname -a works as well -r is just more optimized ;p
[07:53] <FunnyLookinHat> yea, less output
[07:53] <Lathiat> anasha: do you have -generic in 'uname -r' ?
[07:53] <justnulling2> mikere: only not wide screen resolution are there
[07:53] <FunnyLookinHat> walkintome, I've gotta get to sleep...  but I would try searching ubuntuforums.org or asking in #ubuntu-effects for help with your graphics card issue
[07:53] <FunnyLookinHat> walkintome, Sorry I couldn't help you longer
[07:54] <walkintome> FunnyLookinHat: no problem--i appreciater you help
[07:54] <walkintome> FunnyLookinHat:  take care!
[07:54] <ben__> sgtmattbaker, obvious things to check are whether your script depends on your environment; it will be different if executed from rc.local. For a simple test case, try getting rc.local to invoke a script that simply touches a specific file. If that works, you're problem stems from the environment, most likely.
[07:54] <KL2CR> Can someone help me get my Intel 2915 working (wireless)?
[07:54] <chris345> how do I get /dev/mdX to actually know I have drives.. the kernel just isnt reading the superblocks or something?
[07:54] <glick> hmm my monitor characteristics
[07:55] <Lathiat> chris345: if it cant autodetect it with --scan i can only recommend attempting to assemble it manually
[07:55] <belfegor> does anyone know a program for building sites on ubuntu ?
[07:55] <glick> damn how can i find out what the hsync and vsync frequencies of my monitor are?
[07:55] <Madpilot> belfegor, websites? Screem or Bluefish
[07:55] <chris345> Lathiat, i'm up for that, any hints I can try
[07:55] <zerokill88> how can you view everything in the sudo apt-cache search?
[07:55] <belfegor> Madpilot thanks
[07:55] <bombice|laptop> mikere:  i need help the installation finished and i need to get to a command line
[07:55] <chris345> Lathiat, I'm more used to the old raid tools that got deprecated
[07:55] <Lathiat> chris345: so.. i think it goes: mdadm --assemble -a md  /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
[07:56] <Lathiat> chris345: oh... perhaps you need to upgrade them or somethign :/
[07:56] <Lathiat> chris345: i never used those
[07:56] <Lathiat> chris345: where sda1 and sdb1 are your raid drive/partitions
[07:56] <chris345> Lathiat, no these are new, upgrade to feisty messed them up somehow
[07:56] <anasha> FunnyLookinHat, it is saying /lib/modules/2.6.20-13-386/build
[07:56] <Diana__> When I click on the networkmanager icon in the gnome-panel, it just says "manual configuration". I'm running Feisty. It used to say "Wired Network" and list all ssids I can see. How can I reset this back to the way it was when I first put Feisty on my laptop?
[07:56] <OmnipotentEntity> Hello everyone, I'm attempting to install VMWare on my box.  I'm running a 64-bit system, with kernel version 2.6.18, attempting to installed VMWare 1.0.3.  I seem to be running into a brick wall, when I start up vmplayer with no arguments I just get this line repeated about a hundred times.
[07:56] <OmnipotentEntity> Unable to load image-loading module: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-png.so: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-png.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
[07:57] <Lathiat> Diana__: you probably put entries in /etc/network/interfaces
[07:57] <glick> which method for selecting monitor characteristics should i use simple medium or advanced?
[07:57] <anasha> FunnyLookinHat, it is saying  can't cd to /lib/modules/2.6.20-13-386/build
[07:57] <Diana__> Lathiat: How do I fix it? delete that file?
[07:57] <Lathiat> Diana__: hehe no do not delete that file
[07:57] <ben__> zerokill88, to view the full record for a package use `apt-cache show <package-name>`. Is that what you're looking for?
[07:57] <Lathiat> Diana__: pastebin the file and i'll tell you want to change
[07:58] <Diana__> Lathiat: I just changed it.
[07:58] <Diana__> heh
[07:58] <Lathiat> Diana__: basically you probably only want the lo lines
[07:58] <crackintosh> what php.ini file does apache use in ubuntu? I edited /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and I saw no effect.
[07:58] <zerokill88> ben_ i wanted to see everything in the cache , not just one specific package
[07:58] <Diana__> Lathiat: http://rafb.net/p/daIEFk18.html
[07:58] <sn0n> uhmmm.. i the only one having problems installing now ?   something about update-notifier messing up..
[07:59] <Lathiat> Diana__: take out the 4 lines with eth1 and wlan0 ... im not sure but that might help
[07:59] <Diana__> Lathiat: I'm going to reboot. brb
[07:59] <sn0n> used the CD 3 times so far,.. same system.. now im getting this error about update-notified
[07:59] <sn0n> notifier*
[07:59] <gregorovius> anyone experienced with the new CIFS samba module? I'm getting a "mount error: could not find target server", but it works with smbfs
[08:00] <ben__> zerokill88, grep through `apt-cache dump` then? It depends on what you're looking for. :-)
[08:00] <sacater> sorry
[08:00] <tjb13> hey how stable is the hfsplus driver for file systems
[08:00] <tjb13> is itsafe to use
[08:02] <bombice|laptop> damn it im still having problems with my 8800GTS  ive installed nvidia-glx and enabled it...i think
[08:02] <Diana__> Lathiat: thanks a lot. worked like a charm
[08:02] <Diana__> I appreciate the help.
[08:02] <bombice|laptop> anyone care to help
[08:02] <thebillywayne> Is there a  way to change themes without using Theme Manager?
[08:02] <sn0n> bombice|laptop: bwats the problem?
[08:02] <Lathiat> Diana__: NPs
[08:02] <noiesmo> bombice|laptop: are you on feisty the nvidia-glx-new might be what you want are you getting an api mismatch error
[08:03] <bombice|laptop> when i boot ubuntu im getting a blank screen
[08:03] <zerokill88> ben_ thats the thing,i wana see everything there is
[08:04] <noiesmo> bombice|laptop: maybe boot in to recovery mode and then check /var/log/Xorg.0.log see if its the mismatched api then install nvidia-glx-new also check dmesg and messages for errors
[08:05] <bombice|laptop> kk
[08:05] <sn0n> i think there is a ghost in the machine.....
[08:06] <KL2CR> There might be...
[08:06] <ben__> zerokill88, I'm not aware of a more comprehensive view that what `apt-cache dump` gives you, I'm afraid.
[08:07] <mikere> bombice|laptop: sorry man - I was just finishing up a couple things before bed time - I'm gonna have to call it a night for now
[08:08] <jessid> hello i was trying to install a driver with ndisgtk and now it does not even open...it seems i used the wrong driver....is it possible to "reinitialize" what evever it modifies????thanks a lot

[08:10] <nir_ai> how do I set environment variables from the terminal?
[08:10] <thebillywayne> Could I edit a .conf file to change my metacity theme?
[08:11] <j3g> is there a easy way to update ubuntu feisty kernel to newer kernels (2.6.21) other than compiling from source?
[08:11] <yigal> j3g: why do you want a newer kernel?
[08:11] <nir_ai> how do I set environment variables from the terminal?
[08:12] <bluefox83> j3g, yes, download them with synaptic/aptitude/apt
[08:12] <ben__> nir_ai: `VAR=value` . To let other programs see the value, too, `export VAR`.
[08:12] <j3g> yigal: just as a curiosity.. i'm still satisfied with 2.6.20
[08:12] <yigal> j3g: the answer is yes, and it is a lot of work to do it right
[08:12] <j3g> bluefox83: but i did apt-cache search 2.6.21 and found nothing... are you sure there will be packages for the newer kernels
[08:12] <yigal> j3g: a lot of work
[08:13] <bluefox83> j3g, when a newer one becomes available your update manager will tell you and suggest you download it
[08:13] <mwe> j3g: the kernel version will not be updated in feisty
[08:13] <j3g> yigal: manually compiling the kernel is not too complicated for me... i'm used to this... (i also use gentoo)
[08:13] <j3g> I want to know if there was an easier way
[08:13] <mwe> j3g: programs and kernel stay in the released versions
[08:13] <bluefox83> j3g, they just haven't added newer ones to the repositories
[08:13] <yigal> j3g: oh, yes sorry its the beer
[08:14] <mwe> bluefox83: the kernel will not upgraded in the repos
[08:14] <bluefox83> mwe, why the furk not?
[08:14] <mwe> bluefox83: because programs and kernel stay in the released versions
[08:14] <ben___> hello
[08:14] <bluefox83> mwe, what the heck does that mean?
[08:14] <ben___> where am i ?
[08:15] <Ian-C> Howdy all.  I've got a problem with a fresh install of Feisty that wasn't there in Edgy.  It's a missing device simlink (ie radio to radio0).  How do I create one?
[08:15] <bluefox83> mwe, the current released versions of the software in the repos are the only versions that will ever be put in them?
[08:15] <supergimp> ban: welcom
[08:15] <j3g> bluefox83: what he means is that there will be updates to the kernel... but only patches.. it will stay at the same version forever for that release
[08:15] <mwe> bluefox83: it means they extensively test versions of things before a release and that stability is more important than newest versions
[08:15] <supergimp> ben: welcom
[08:15] <mwe> bluefox83: yes
[08:15] <mwe> bluefox83: for a good reason
[08:15] <ben___> hi supergimp
[08:15] <Spoon98> hello
[08:15] <ben___> i m first time irc
[08:16] <yigal> ben___: how does it feel
[08:16] <j3g> style
[08:16] <ben___> now so sure how i did a click and come here
[08:16] <mwe> j3g: everyone would just use that crap
[08:16] <ben___> not
[08:16] <bluefox83> mwe, does that also mean that we wont be getting the newest gaim? they changed names for 2.0.0 it's now pidgin
[08:16] <yigal> j3g: 2.6.20 is not old, if you want bleeding edge why not Fedora ?
[08:16] <mwe> bluefox83: yes
[08:16] <j3g> mwe: if they want it... i don't see a problem with that... freedom for the people :)
[08:16] <mwe> bluefox83: some things are back-ported
[08:17] <mwe> bluefox83: gaim is probably a good candidate
[08:17] <j3g> yigal: i don't want bleeding edge... it's just that in 6 months (next ubuntu)
[08:17] <bluefox83> mwe, yes i am correct, or yes we will be getting the new pidgin?
[08:17] <ben___> it looks like yahoo chat room
[08:17] <j3g> 2.6.20 will be looking a bit old
[08:17] <mwe> bluefox83: yes, you are correct
[08:17] <bluefox83> D:
[08:18] <yigal> j3g: yes its like edgy looks now a bit old
[08:18] <Spoon98> do any of you have experience setting up wlan connections with ubuntu?
[08:18] <yigal> Spoon98:what do you want to do?
[08:18] <mwe> j3g: well that's how it works. if you don't like don't use ubuntu
[08:18] <j3g> mwe: no problem... i was just asking...
[08:19] <yigal> j3g: you want the cake and you want to eat it, this is reasonable
[08:19] <bluefox83> so now they're pulling a debian and not adding new software?
[08:19] <yigal> bluefox83: its a freeze that is what is expected of them, :)
[08:19] <mwe> j3g: if there are important security features in a newer kernel, for example, work will be done to get it into the ubuntu kernel
[08:19] <Spoon98> I have a wlan card 2200bg, in windows it needs to be turned on before it can be used, in ubuntu I don't know how to do this... the driver is installed, but the button that would activate  the card does not activate it...
[08:20] <nir_ai> ben__, how do I make the new variable visible to new instances of gnome-terminal?
[08:20] <yigal> Spoon98: what do you mean the driver is installed?
[08:20] <bluefox83> so what version of ubuntu do i need to run in order to get regularly updated software?
[08:21] <mwe> bluefox83: You will almost certainly be able to get the latest gaim either in backports or 3rd party repos
[08:21] <yigal> bluefox83: feisty mostly and the others will have backports
[08:21] <bluefox83> i thought backports were older releases of software...
[08:21] <yigal> bluefox83: new releases for older versions
[08:21] <foo> Hm, I can't get apt-get to ignore deps, can I? I can't seem to find anything in the man page
[08:22] <yigal> bluefox83: older versions of ubuntu
[08:22] <ben__> nir_ai, if you want it set permanently, add it to your `.bashrc` file, then `source .bashrc`. So, at the end of that file add `MYVAR=myval`, then `export MYVAR`.
[08:22] <bluefox83> 2.0.0 isn't an old version, it's not even called gaim anymore, it's called pidgin...
[08:22] <yigal> foo: you need to make a preference file I believe
[08:22] <mwe> well I'm gonna reboot into the 2.6.21 kernel. brb
[08:22] <yigal> foo: in /etc/apt
[08:22] <Spoon98> yigal:ubuntu recognizes the wlan-card, it is in the list of installed hardware, and the drivername ipw2200BG is displayed, which to my knowledge is the correct one for my card seeing as it is an "intel pro wireless 2200BG"-card.
[08:23] <yigal> Spoon98: do you have a terminal open?
[08:23] <yigal> Spoon98: please open one if you don't and type "ifconfig -a"
[08:23] <jshadias> bluefox83: 2.0.0 doesn't exist yet. feisty has the latest beta and i think yigal is saying that pidgin 2.0.0 will be available through backports
[08:23] <glick> hey i tried to install beryl
[08:23] <Spoon98> yigal: not currently, unfortunately, I only have wlan, so in order to be on the internet I have to boot up in windows... :(
[08:24] <glick> and it works sort of but now i cant move or resise windows?
[08:24] <pradeep> Is a linux port available for iMate Jamin?
[08:24] <foo> http://x01.ath.cx/temp/deps.txt - any ideas on this dep issue? I don't get it. I have a system working fine... and it doesn't meet deps, but on this one... it doesn't meet deps, and I can't get it to work (like the other).
[08:24] <yigal> Spoon98: ok, then have you read some of the wifi docs in the ubuntu wiki?
[08:24] <yigal> Spoon98: they are usually quite good for getting wireless working
[08:24] <bluefox83> jshadias, i knew it didn't exist yet, it's not released. that's why i wanted to be able to get it when it is finally released, it's good to know i will still be able to get it :D
[08:25] <m82> Hey what day was Feisty released? I know the month ofcourse but for some reason couldn't find info on the exact day.
[08:25] <Flannel> foo: you've got that because... you're using 3rd party repositories.
[08:25] <magnetron> m82: the 19th
[08:25] <Spoon98> I haven't read in them recently, last time they didn't have anything, but maybe now :) I'll have a look
[08:25] <Ruse> is there support for the ICH8R southbridge chipset running in AHCI in the nightly build?
[08:25] <glick> do i need to install beryl manager?
[08:25] <m82> magnetron: ok thanks
[08:25] <glick> is that different from beryl settings manager?
[08:25] <foo> Flannel: ah, hmm. I'm trying to get php 5.2.1 on dapper... what's the best way to do this? I've done this in the past, and I got it to work.. but apparently I'm doing something wrong because I can't seem to get it this time
[08:26] <yigal> glick: did you follow Beryl's wiki for ubuntu? it is quite good
[08:26] <glick> yigal, whats the website for that

[08:26] <magnetron> m82: the cdrom image will be dated the 15th though
[08:26] <Flannel> foo: what reasons do you want 5.2.1?
[08:27] <magnetron> Hi Cassandra. What is your question?
[08:27] <m82> magnetron: ok np, I just wanted to know so I know when the 3rd party pkgs will be ready. For instance Mplayer pkg.
[08:28] <Cassandra> Thanks magnetron When I try plug my camera into my computer I get the message: An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not claim the USB device'): Could not claim interface 0 (Operation not permitted).

[08:29] <Cassandra> I'm not sure how to fix this.  It has been working until recently.  The little I've been able to look up points to a bug and that I could change the code if I knew how.  Do you know if there is an easier way magnetron?
[08:29] <Flannel> foo: well, you'll either have to wade through 3rd party stuff, upgrade to feisty, or backport it yourself (with something like prevu)
[08:29] <magnetron> Cassandra, that is a webcam, right? it seems it can't find the driver for it

[08:30] <clanee> so any good ways to get VMware working with feisty
[08:30] <Flannel> foo: eh?  You didn't paste a successful install?
[08:31] <OmnipotentEntity> clanee, I'm having trouble with that too.

[08:32] <Cassandra> Thank you magnetron.  Was that an automated something you made the computer tell me?
[08:32] <foo> Flannel: http://x01.ath.cx/temp/deps.txt - look at the top part... that's on a working system. The bottom part is on this system, exact (I'm pretty sure) same stuff / setup... yet it fails on this one.
[08:32] <Zues_62> i have an issue i am tyring to unmount a drive but it says it is not mounted this does not make sence to me
[08:32] <magnetron> Yes, Cassandra.
[08:32] <yigal> clanee: vb gives best bang for buck
[08:32] <clanee> Zues_62: might want to pastebin that error
[08:32] <Spoon98> yigal: Thanks! I'll try booting it up in linux and try some of this ;)
[08:32] <yigal> clanee: for linux
[08:32] <ben__> Cassandra: Sorry for interrupting, but are you saying that this webcam used to work with Ubuntu and then it stopped, or that it's never worked?

[08:33] <yigal> Spoon98: awesome wireless can be tricky but it (almost) always works
[08:33] <Cassandra> It's stopped working ben__
[08:33] <clanee> yigal: i see a bunch of gui screenshots for VB
[08:33] <foo> Flannel: I have 2 other systems that are ubuntu 6.06 as well... work fine. I am beginning to think dotdeb changed something on their end.
[08:33] <clanee> can I use it through ssh only
[08:33] <Zues_62> clanne what should i do?
[08:34] <yigal> Cassandra: the errors you have are read/write permission errors not driver issues if the error you posted is the only error you have
[08:34] <ben__> Cassandra: What have you done since it stopped working? Installed any new hardware? Added a new user?
[08:34] <yigal> Cassandra: did you try with sudo to mount the camera, do you know what /dev the camera is
[08:34] <ben__> yigal: I was thinking the same thing.
[08:34] <Flannel> foo: Like I said, you have different version numbers for that libapache2 module.
[08:34] <yigal> clanee: do you want to have a gui or just termina?
[08:34] <Cassandra> I don't yigal
[08:34] <pr0t0type> hi ! is there a way to hide the drive on my desktop ?
[08:35] <clanee> w00t, i got a hold of a dual 3GHz 1U server today
[08:35] <yigal> Cassandra: you could log in as root from GDM, but it is a security risk, may be do it when you are not connected to the internet
[08:35] <foo> Flannel: hm, what do you mean? On the working: 5.2.1-0.dotdeb.1 ... nonworking: libapache2-mod-php5=5.2.1-0.dotdeb.2 ... hm, .2 is different.
[08:35] <Cassandra> ben__  I haven't done anything, I'm not very knowledgeable about this stuff
[08:35] <magnetron> pr0t0type: yes it is. you need to make the setting thru "gconf-editor". (alt+f2 to run it)
[08:36] <Cassandra> Oh could I?  Thanks yigal
[08:36] <pr0t0type> t thx magnetron i check that :)
[08:36] <Cassandra> ben__ I've read in a couple places that there is an error in the code, but I don't know how I would change it.
[08:36] <Cassandra> yigal how do I tell what /dev it is?
[08:36] <yigal> Cassandra: yes, you have to change GDM a bit to allow yourself to do this, then see with root priveleges if you have the same error, if I wasn't so drunk I would have a better way
[08:37] <ElCid> ...'morning at all...newbie here, and having some problems with driver installation of adsl modem...anyone willing to help?
[08:37] <clanee> yigal: is VB in the repos ?
[08:37] <magnetron> pr0t0type: you need to change the setting called /apps/nautilus/desktop
[08:37] <belfegor> can anyone give me keyword from penguins channel?
[08:37] <pr0t0type> thx thats what i want to ask right now lol
[08:37] <yigal> clanee: no check there website out they have a deb you download it says edgy but it works perfectly in Feisty
[08:37] <foo> Flannel: And I don't think forcing no-deps is an option
[08:37] <clanee> Excellent
[08:37] <Cassandra> Thanks yigal, that's hilarious.
[08:37] <Zues_62> what is the comand to set all user rites for a drive
[08:38] <bombice|laptop> im at the command line and i have the drivers on a cd what command can i use to get to the CD rom drive
[08:38] <clanee> yigal: a feisty deb now: http://www.virtualbox.org/download/1.3.8/VirtualBox_1.3.8_Ubuntu_feisty_i386.deb
[08:38] <pr0t0type> found it many many thx
[08:38] <belfegor> thabks clanee
[08:38] <Flannel> foo: I imagine the .2 has different deps than .1.  Either way, it's a dotdeb issue
[08:38] <weblordpepe> oh man boy did i mess something up :( im glad to see people alive in this channel
[08:38] <yigal> clanee: awesome, its a great program
[08:38] <foo> Flannel: ok, gotcha. Hm, what would you recommend be the next best way for me to get 5.2.1 on here?
[08:39] <Flannel> foo: install the .1?
[08:39] <foo> hmm, can I do that? /me tries
[08:39] <weblordpepe> i have a problem, though
[08:39] <foo> Flannel: E: Version '5.2.1-0.dotdeb.1' for 'php5' was not found - yeah, tried this. I guess they removed it or something? hmph
[08:40] <Flannel> foo: I have no idea.  You should ask them.
[08:40] <weblordpepe> Can anybody tell me how to reset GDM to defaults? I have ticked a box somewhere, and now I don't have the normal login screen. I can only log in via XDMCP to another machine. I cant get in locally.
[08:40] <bombice|laptop> anyone? shell command to get to the cdrom?
[08:40] <weblordpepe> bombice|laptop: : something like cd /media/cdrom
[08:41] <bombice|laptop> thanks
[08:41] <weblordpepe> if its mounted. if its not mounted, then going mount /dev/cdrom might help i think.
[08:41] <foo> Flannel: hm, what's the next best way to do this? Backport from fiesty, maybe?
[08:41] <Xif> OK, I upgraded Edgy to Feisty, and now I have problems.
[08:41] <Flannel> !prevu | foo
[08:41] <ubotu> foo: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details
[08:41] <Xif> first of all, I can't disable the session.
[08:41] <foo> Flannel: actually, /var/cache/apt/archives/ ... I see all of the .1's in here
[08:41] <Cassandra> I think I'll wait until I can speak with a guy I know about it.  Thanks for the help magnetron, ben__ and yigal
[08:41] <foo> Flannel: hehe. On the working server... I think I can use that.
[08:42] <weblordpepe> heelp!! :(
[08:42] <Flannel> foo: you can
[08:42] <Xif> it keeps loading the same session on startup though I tried to disable it.
[08:42] <weblordpepe> me! me! me! help me! me!
[08:42] <ben__> Cassandra, does this sound like the same problem: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/4169 ?

[08:43] <weblordpepe> ...more fireworks then? :P
[08:44] <ElCid> ...I think it should be a compiler thing, maybe :P as said, I'm newbie, so don't know it exactly...
[08:44] <weblordpepe> i just need to know how to reset GDM to its default self.
[08:44] <weblordpepe> ive messed it up somehow and it is only letting me log in with xdmcp, not actually locally.
[08:45] <marx2k> samba issue...
[08:45] <marx2k>   create mask = 0700
[08:45] <marx2k>   directory mask = 0700
[08:45] <marx2k>   force user = nobody
[08:45] <marx2k>   force group = nogroup
[08:45] <marx2k> oops
[08:45] <marx2k> sorry about the flood
[08:45] <magnetron> weblordpepe: what did you DO to your poor computer? did you delete the .session files?
[08:45] <Cassandra> ben__ Yes it's exactly the same problem.
[08:45] <marx2k> :)
[08:45] <marx2k> samba issue is actually...
[08:45] <marx2k> "smb://livin...%20Out.zip" cannot be deleted because you do not have permissions to modify its parent folder.
[08:45] <weblordpepe> magnetron: :/ well... i ticked a box before i logged out of gnome.
[08:45] <marx2k> what in the smb.conf file fixes that?
[08:46] <weblordpepe> and now theres no way to log back into gnome with GDM to untick whatever i ticked.
[08:46] <ben__> Cassandra, in that case can you try the fix in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgphoto2/+bug/91250 ? (I'll walk you through it if you want).
[08:46] <weblordpepe> my only solution is to either find whats wrong in gdm.conf (way over my head) or reset gdm to defaults.
[08:46] <Flannel> weblordpepe: why can't you login?  What happens
[08:46] <AmirB> 3D games don't go fullscreen for me, when I hit fullscreen they are displayed small and centered. I used to work before but now it doesn't. What do I do to fix this? It happens in Frets on Fire, Mupen64 etc.
[08:46] <AmirB> *It
[08:46] <kraut> moin
[08:46] <magnetron> weblordpepe: what did you do that caused this?
[08:46] <weblordpepe> Flannel: you know when you click 'find a XDMCP host' or whatever it is - and you get that box which scans for other hosts on the network with XDMCP?
[08:47] <weblordpepe> thats what i get when i first boot up.
[08:47] <weblordpepe> i dont actually have a normal login box.
[08:47] <Cassandra> Thanks for the offer ben__  I have a friend online trying to help me at the moment.  I'm going to see if he can help me out.

[09:00] <yigal> Zues_62: what kind of copying do you want to do?
[09:00] <ben__> skoenman, that's a terminal command for listing this PCI devices connected to your machine. Are you looking for a GUI? System -> Preferences -> Hardware Information gives that.
[09:00] <Tarkus> magnetron: thanks, ill check those out.
[09:00] <Zues_62> yigal all
[09:01] <idefixx> hw__: found this one... seems to be under heavy development - http://naughtysvn.tigris.org/
[09:01] <yigal> Zues_62: then you need "sudo cp "files""
[09:01] <yigal> Zues_62:sudo cp -r files
[09:01] <Zues_62> no no yigal i wan2 set it up so i can copy delete and do anything on the drive its chown something?
[09:01] <Heretic> zues: chmod
[09:01] <ben__> hw_: or rapidsvn.
[09:01] <mad_goldfish> yigal: Problem is, I've got a usb keyboard and mouse, so can't diagnose unless I boot in to 2.6.17-11-386, which finds everything. It WAS working under 2.6.20-15-386 but I have a feeling I broke something trying to get my usb stick working, but no idea where to start diagnosing the problem.
[09:01] <magnetron> walkintome: welcome, just say your question so that someone can try to figure out an answer
[09:02] <walkintome> i dont know how to install a apcage file and was wondering if someone wouldnt mind giving me a hand
[09:02] <yigal> Zues_62: chow -R "user_name" /
[09:02] <yigal> Zues: s/chow/chown
[09:02] <yigal> Zues
[09:02] <Zues_62> then what yigal
[09:02] <yigal> Zues: thats it that will give you permissions to all of your files
[09:02] <yigal> Zues: except you will need to use sudo
[09:02] <walkintome> i dont know how to install this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17738/
[09:03] <Flannel> Zues_62: you don't want to do that.
[09:03] <yigal> Flanel: I agree completely
[09:03] <Zues_62> it cant find the mount point yigal
[09:03] <yigal> Flannel: but that is how it is done
[09:03] <arooni> hey folks; how can i expand my swap partiiton?
[09:03] <magnetron> walkintome:  some packages can be installed with "add/remove programs" in the program menu, but all the packages in the repositories is installable with the Synaptic package manager
[09:03] <Zues_62> hwo do i make it find it yigal
[09:03] <arooni> i have edgy
[09:03] <arooni> i mean...i have feisty
[09:03] <Flannel> yigal: please don't give people the rope to hang themselves ;)
[09:03] <yigal> Zues_62: what exactly do you want to do?
[09:03] <Flannel> yigal: or at least, not when it's already in noose form, and tied to a piece of wood.
[09:04] <yigal> Flannel: ok I will try to resist
[09:04] <hw__> idefixx: Uiihh, "NEWS: Alpha to be released soon ..." =) Maybe on next Ubuntu...
[09:04] <yigal> Flannel: :)
[09:04] <Xif> Gnome Session won't freaking stop loading on startup!!!
[09:04] <yigal> Zues_62: maybe there is a better way
[09:04] <m82> Wow! Beryl is nice!
[09:04] <idefixx> hw__: look at what ben__ wrote http://rapidsvn.tigris.org/.
[09:04] <yigal> Zues_62: what you are asking is very very very risky
[09:04] <Zues_62> ok im trying to unmount a drive and i get error UsbDisk is not in fstab
[09:04] <Heretic> if anyones not too busy...could i maybe get some help with my graphics chip please?
[09:05] <yigal> m82: yes it is :)
[09:05] <twisties> whats your problem Heretic

[09:06] <Zues_62> i can unmount it in the storage manager but not in gnome yigal
[09:06] <twisties> Heretic: Sorry bud, Nvidia boy myself, i've got very little clue what your problem is :(
[09:06] <yigal> Zues_62: ok do you know the device?
[09:06] <Zues_62> what do u mean
[09:07] <yigal> Zues_62: is it a usb flash or external hd?
[09:07] <Heretic> twisties: thanks anyway, i'm an nvidia fan myself...i have an 8800 in my desktop...but its nigh impossible to crack open a laptop and upgrade the graphics chip :P
[09:07] <yigal> Zues_62: is it storage?
[09:07] <ElCid> what if the C compiler cannot create executables?
[09:07] <yigal> ElCid: then you don't have C compiler
[09:07] <Zues_62> its sda3
[09:07] <twisties> lol heretic. 7900GS 512 here
[09:07] <yigal> ElCid: if it can't that is
[09:07] <Zues_62> sda2 yigal i mean
[09:07] <Flannel> ElCid: you need the 'build-essential' package
[09:08] <ElCid> ok, I imagined that, yigal...
[09:08] <yigal> Zues_62: what error are you getting when you try to unmount it in gnome?
[09:08] <Zues_62> just that im not in root
[09:08] <walkintome> im trying to install avant-window-navigator and i get this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17739/
[09:08] <Heretic> nice card twisties...i figured i would get the 8800 so i could use dx10...i plan on tribooting vista, xp, and ubuntu :P
[09:08] <ElCid> ...Flannel, they gave me the sudo-apt command about the build-essential package, but if I can't connect to internet, I can't get it directly...
[09:08] <yigal> Zues_62: Zues_62: what is on that partition - do you know?
[09:08] <ElCid> ...so I'll have to take it from this one and then transfer to the linux one...
[09:09] <Zues_62> nothing yigal i have reformated it but its still being sily
[09:09] <Flannel> ElCid: you have a CD, correct?
[09:09] <ElCid> ...yup
[09:09] <Flannel> ElCid: an ubuntu CD, that is.  DEsktop or alternate?
[09:09] <ElCid> last ubuntu
[09:09] <twisties> rofl.   We're going to add the CD to your sources, and then install build-essential from there.
[09:10] <yigal> ElCid: what are you to build?
[09:10] <ElCid> the modem drivers
[09:10] <ElCid> ok, Flannel, thanks...
[09:11] <Flannel> ElCid: `sudo apt-cdrom add` should add the CD (well, first put the CD in your drive), then `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential`
[09:11] <yigal> ElCid: sorry man, thats a bummer
[09:11] <walkintome> hmm, i cant seem to put one fo my panels on the bottom. when i select bottom is goes back to top
[09:11] <Zues_62> yigal im still getin the same error usbdisk is not in fstab
[09:11] <yigal> Zues_62: how are you doing?
[09:11] <Heretic> i'm wondering if i can just revert my xserver-xorg back to the original off the feisty cd...i seemed to have 3d accel then and everything, and then like the idiot i am i messed with it, and its broken now...i tried sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg but that didnt do anything
[09:11] <twisties> Heretic: I'm looking for a second pc for use as a linux desktop and have this XP one on the side for games
[09:11] <Zues_62> bad yigal
[09:12] <ElCid> I know it, yigal...:)
[09:12] <glick> omg beryl is something insane
[09:12] <glick> its an orgasm for my eyes!
[09:12] <twisties> yeah
[09:12] <twisties> tis
[09:12] <ElCid> Flannel, done the first command and now it asks if start the package manager
[09:12] <twisties> but its not working with my two x-screens
[09:12] <yigal> Zues_62: ok, sudo mount /dev/sda2, you unmounted it remember :)
[09:12] <Heretic> hehe, tmi glick :P
[09:12] <yigal> Zues_62: then issue the previous command
[09:13] <BeepAU_> i can't connect to my wireless network. when i try it says waiting for network key, then times out. any help?
[09:13] <Flannel> ElCid: uh, go ahead and say yes
[09:13] <glick> i almost cant take it
[09:13] <Heretic> what kind of card beep?
[09:13] <glick> its too much!
[09:13] <Zues_62> no i remounted it
[09:13] <yigal> BeepAu_: its all about what type of wireless chip you have
[09:13] <Zues_62> it still cant unmount normaly
[09:13] <glick> but it doesnt beat aeroglass
[09:13] <BeepAU_> it's an inbuilt winbond
[09:13] <yigal> Zues_62: so when you type "df" you see it?
[09:13] <ElCid> ...yup, done it, but it says E:Unable to locate any package files, perhaps this is not a Debian Disc
[09:14] <BeepAU_> i got the driver off a cd that came with the laptop
[09:14] <Zues_62> df what do u mean yigal
[09:14] <Heretic> and installed it with ndiswrapper?
[09:14] <yigal> Zues_62: in a terminal type "df"
[09:14] <Zues_62> how can i jsut make the UsbDisk fstab
[09:14] <BeepAU_> Heretic - yes
[09:14] <yigal> Zues_62: df - report file system disk space usage
[09:14] <yigal> Zues_62: you probably don't want to do that
[09:15] <Heretic> ok beep, did you run the command modprobe ndiswrapper?
[09:15] <GuHHH> hello
[09:15] <Zues_62> ya i do coz it cant find it in fstab yigal
[09:15] <ElCid> ...ok, solved it...
[09:15] <ElCid> now it's installing them, thanks Flannel...
[09:15] <yigal> Zues_62: when you type df, do you see /dev/sda2 ?
[09:15] <ElCid> ...ok, let me try now to install the drivers and see...
[09:16] <BeepAU_> Heretic - i have previously. it's set to load at startup. everything seems to work fine, it detects the network etc. just won't connect
[09:16] <Zues_62> ya
[09:16] <GuHHH> need some help, i can load my xserver but i cant run the ubuntu but only on recovery mode, because the screen goes black when ubuntu logo must appears, how do i edit the options to donot load the graphical interface on loading or how i edit the graphic options?
[09:16] <mad_goldfish> OK, I've checked the dmesg from the last boot, and the kernel found the right usb drivers and loaded them, but then I see a list of USB disconnect lines, and PCI errors with uhci_hcd, so I guess the usb drivers aren't active when I get to the login screen.
[09:16] <ElCid> ...it has compiled them...thanks a lot, Flannel, really you saved my day...:)
[09:16] <Heretic> oh ok beep, are you using networkmanager?
[09:17] <yigal> Zues_62: what is /dev/sda2 mounted as, that is what you want to use for chown
[09:17] <Zues_62> usb disk
[09:17] <Zues_62> UsbDisk
[09:17] <arooni> i mean...i have feisty
[09:17] <arooni> help!  my sony laptop (VGN-C260E) can't resume or hibernate with feisty (although it could with edgy) :(
[09:18] <yigal> Zues_62: again the booze has made my mind a bit problematic, so "sudo chown -R "user" /media/UsbDisk"
[09:18] <florian> Hello!
[09:18] <Zues_62> yigal no such file or dirc
[09:18] <ElCid> just one last thing, if not disturbing...what's the best way to act as root? read in the guide about a script to be created...is that correct or what?
[09:18] <sulle_> hello. i have setup proftpd. but when i try to log in i get "530 login failed". what to do ?.
[09:18] <eck> GuHHH: you should switch to a console (ctrl-alt-f1 if it doesn't do so after loading X fails) and then troubleshoot from there
[09:18] <Cosmo_> is there a channel for K3b support?
[09:18] <Madpilot> ElCid, use sudo
[09:18] <eck> sulle_: check the logs
[09:18] <sulle_> eck: like how ?
[09:18] <BeepAU__> Heretic - I'm using network manager
[09:18] <sulle_> i am kinda new to nix so....
[09:19] <eck> sulle_: /var/log/proftpd ? i'm not sure which file exactly
[09:19] <yigal> Zues_62: go into your /media folder
[09:19] <Zues_62> so do you actualy know how to fix this yigal?
[09:19] <eck> sulle_: it will be somewhere in /var/log
[09:19] <Zues_62> ok
[09:19] <Heretic> ok beep, in a console try the command sudo dhclient eth1 (or wlan0 or whatever the name for your wireless card is)
[09:19] <Zues_62> there now yigal
[09:19] <yigal> Zues_62: what is in there
[09:19] <ElCid> thanks a lot Madpilot...:)
[09:19] <yigal> Zues_62: is there "sda2" ?
[09:19] <twisties> Ok, seeing #beryl is kinda dead at the mo, can anyone help setup dual x-screens with beryl running?
[09:19] <odb|fidel_> ahoi
[09:19] <florian> I there a development ubuntu kernel 2.6.21 ? The 2.6.20 has Problems with acpi ....
[09:19] <Zues_62> no
[09:19] <sulle_> Apr 26 08:52:28 Server proftpd[4819]  Server: error setting IPV6_V6ONLY: Protocol not available
[09:20] <odb|fidel_> just trying to DL a 7.04 ppc release from the links / mirrors mentioned on ubuntu.com
[09:20] <JohnRobert> that's odd... I've started up my laptop today (feisty final), and sound isn't working
[09:20] <florian> I tried building the original kernel but without success,
[09:20] <eck> florian: you can grab the one from upstream
[09:20] <Zues_62> it was originaly UsbDisk yigal
[09:20] <odb|fidel_> could it be that all links to ppc isons are dead ?
[09:20] <GuHHH> eck: i cant, the keyboard doesnt function, it starts to blink
[09:20] <odb|fidel_> tried more then 10 now
[09:20] <yigal> Zues_62: is UsbDisk in there?
[09:20] <JohnRobert> nothing on the system suggests it isn't....but I can't hear anything
[09:20] <JohnRobert> (and it has been working)
[09:20] <Zues_62> yes yigal
[09:20] <sulle_> eck: Apr 26 08:52:28 Server proftpd[4819]  Server: error setting IPV6_V6ONLY: Protocol not available
[09:20] <eck> odb|fidel_: ppc is not officially supported starting with feisty, so it seems possible
[09:20] <disinterested> is there any way to get kubuntu desktop off this hard drive completely unfortunatly i used apt-get?
[09:20] <sulle_> and somee more errors.
[09:20] <JohnRobert> anyone know why this would have happened? it's like my speakers are broken or something
[09:20] <Apmyp> home page not opens at all on hotkeys!
[09:20] <eck> sulle_: it is more likely to be one of the other errors
[09:21] <odb|fidel_> hrhr well why they create the option to select it then ?
[09:21] <odb|fidel_> strange
[09:21] <Zues_62> yigal the comand u gave me only givs me read nothing else
[09:21] <yigal> Zues_62: so when you type "sudo chown -R "user" /media/UsbDisk" what do you get?

[09:22] <odb|fidel_> thx

[09:22] <eck> GuHHH: you can create an inittab file and set the runlevel to < 5 there
[09:22] <Zues_62> yigal im gona get anoyed ina  second there is one but it wont fin mount ok
[09:22] <ingo__> #macbook
[09:22] <eck> GuHHH: e.g. set it to 3
[09:22] <yigal> Zues_62: if there is /media/UsbDisk then you can apply chown on it
[09:22] <eck> sulle_: you should have it logging auth attempts
[09:23] <Zues_62> yigal if i cld i would but it wont ok
[09:23] <sulle_> eck what do u mean?; what should i do?. remember i am new to this..
[09:23] <GuHHH> eck: dont u know anyway to make the boot without gui?
[09:23] <eck> GuHHH: yes, you need to change inittab so X doesn't start
[09:23] <Zues_62> yigal this is the error black and white ok root@kristoph-62-laptop:/home/kristoph-62# chown -R kristoph-62 /dev/UsbDisk
[09:23] <Zues_62> chown: cannot access `/dev/UsbDisk': No such file or directory
[09:23] <Zues_62> root@kristoph-62-laptop:/home/kristoph-62#
[09:23] <yigal> Zues_62: if you type df and as output you have /dev/sda2 and the folder it is attached to
[09:24] <yigal> ZeusL_62: no /media/UsbDisk
[09:24] <GuHHH> eck: okay, i will see that, thanks
[09:24] <eck> sulle_: there should be an option in proftpd to log login attempts so you can see what is going wrong (i don't use proftpd so i'm not sure exactly what the option would be)
[09:24] <someothernick> Zues_62, try df -k
[09:24] <cloudchen> quit
[09:24] <cloudchen> exit
[09:24] <someothernick> /
[09:24] <BeepAU__> Heretic - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17740/
[09:24] <yigal> Zeus_62: no /media/UsbDisk
[09:24] <sulle_> eck: i am setting it up through a remote pc "ssh". so i dont use gui...
[09:24] <Zues_62> same yigal
[09:24] <eck> sulle_: that's fine
[09:24] <Zues_62> how can i start this whole device form a frest yigal
[09:25] <eck> sulle_: when you configured it you just edited a text file right?
[09:25] <yigal> Zues_62: use gparted on it
[09:25] <sulle_> yes
[09:25] <sulle_> i followed a guid, but that did not work so well it seems.
[09:25] <yigal> Zues_62: reformat it?
[09:25] <Heretic> ok beep, go to system>administration>network
[09:25] <Zues_62> i have yigal
[09:25] <yigal> Zues_62: is it mounted?
[09:25] <what_if> does anyone have inetutils-ftpd working on ubuntu, I can't seem to get it to work
[09:25] <eck> sulle_: you should look at the documentation, although frankly i am somewhat surprised that it is not in the logs already, which seems like it ought to be the standard behavior for an ftp daemon
[09:26] <BeepAU__> Heretic - there
[09:26] <Zues_62> YES I CANT UNMOUNT YIGAL
[09:26] <eck> sulle_: are you doing anonymous logins?
[09:26] <yigal> Zues_62: what folder is it mounted to?
[09:26] <sulle_> eck: nope, i dont think so. i have created a user to login with. but i cant login with it.
[09:26] <Zues_62> media/UsbDisk yigal
[09:26] <Heretic> ok beep, when it lists the wireless card, does it have it in roaming mode?
[09:27] <magnetron> ubotu, doesn't work | what_if
[09:27] <ubotu> what_if: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[09:27] <eck> sulle_: try running 'tail -f /path/to/the/log' and then logging in, and see what is printed in the tail command
[09:27] <yigal> then "sudo chown -R "user" media/UsbDisk" must work
[09:27] <BeepAU__> Heretic - yep
[09:27] <Zues_62> it doesnt so what can i do yigal
[09:27] <mad_goldfish> How can I set the default kernel loaded on boot to the previous one?
[09:27] <Heretic> ok, i think someone had too much time on their hands when they programmed ubotu hehe
[09:27] <what_if> magnetron: lol, moce specific... I can login, can "cd" and "pwd", but ls does not work ...
[09:28] <yigal> "user"=kristoph-62
[09:28] <GuHHH> eck: where is inittab located? couldnt find it.
[09:28] <Zues_62> ah
[09:28] <eck> GuHHH: you need to create it, it should be /etc/inittab
[09:28] <Zues_62> yigal it isnt ok so where gona hav to figure out something that will
[09:28] <yigal> Zues_62: sudo umount /media/UsbDisk unmounts the disk?
[09:28] <Zues_62> ok but how can i fix this whole problem
[09:28] <Heretic> alrighty beep, select the wireless card and hit properties and uncheck roaming mode, then put in your network name, whatever encryption key you might be using (leave blank if you're not using one), and then for configuration choose DHCP and hit ok
[09:29] <eck> GuHHH: just put in a line like id:3:initdefault:
[09:29] <yigal> Zues_62: unplug the drive
[09:29] <GuHHH> eck: hehe, i noticed, i could find it on my debian partition but not on ubuntu :P
[09:29] <Zues_62> ok then what yigal
[09:29] <yigal> Zues_62: after you unmount it
[09:29] <yigal> Zues_62: plug it in
[09:29] <sulle_> eck so i should write tail -f /var/log/proftpd/proftpd.log username password ?
[09:29] <eck> GuHHH: yeah, it is deprecated starting with upstart, but upstart will still check if it exists and if it does use it to set the default run level
[09:29] <Zues_62> yigal then
[09:29] <yigal> Zues_62: did it mount
[09:29] <eck> sulle_: you, you would tail -f the file and then on your local computer try FTP'ing in
[09:30] <Zues_62> no
[09:30] <BeepAU__> Heretic - it seems to only allow me a certain amount of characters in the network password, less than my wep key
[09:30] <eck> sulle_: then you can see what is printed out to the log file during the login
[09:30] <yigal> Zues_62: what if you "pmount /dev/sda2"
[09:30] <sulle_> i am not near the server at all
[09:30] <GuHHH> eck: what if i copy it from debian? any problem?
[09:30] <eck> sulle_: that is fine, ftp is a network protocol ;-)
[09:30] <eck> GuHHH: i think it will be fine, but you just need the initdefault line
[09:30] <GuHHH> # The default runlevel.
[09:30] <GuHHH> id:2:initdefault:
[09:31] <sulle_> eck: i dont fully understand what to do. sorry my stupidty
[09:31] <yigal> Zues_62: are you using Edgy?
[09:31] <GuHHH> it has
[09:31] <eck> sulle_: how are you testing logins right now?
[09:31] <Tyazhely666> hello
[09:31] <Tyazhely666> why i must install ubunto but not debian? :-)
[09:31] <GuHHH> eck: thanks :)
[09:31] <Zues_62> ya but it wont pick up the fucken thing yigal
[09:31] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy | Zues_62
[09:31] <ubotu> Zues_62: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[09:31] <yigal> Zues_62: reformat it again
[09:31] <someothernick> :/
[09:31] <eck> Tyazhely666: because you like it more :-)
[09:31] <GuHHH> Tyazhely666: debian repositories are a way better
[09:31] <sulle_> eck: i webrowse ip:port then it comes a login. write username and password and get the error
[09:31] <Zues_62> and then what
[09:32] <Spoon98> yigal: Hi again, couldn't get it to work from the wikipages... found a small cable though, so I am writing from linux now :) the iwconfig tool says that the radio is off, I think this could be the problem, but I can't find anywhere in the wiki that describes turning the radio on...
[09:32] <Tyazhely666> eck: i hear that ubuntu has many bugs?
[09:32] <eck> sulle_: then just do that to log in (or you can use the ftp command built in to your system)
[09:32] <GuHHH> Tyazhely666:  and they update it much quicker than ubuntu
[09:32] <sulle_> ftp://ip:port then a login window pops up. writes username and password and hit enter.
[09:32] <tex__> Hi I'm a Windows user and I'd like to install Ubuntu 7.04 on my ThinkPad T30 in dual-boot. I've just tried the Live CD: it works but when loading I see the following message: "intel_nrg FWH not detected". Can I safely install Ubuntu or will I have problems during the install process?
[09:32] <eck> Tyazhely666: _all_ nontrivial software has many bugs
[09:32] <Zues_62> yigal after?
[09:32] <yigal> Zues_62: if you use su to mount can you put packages into the usb drive?
[09:32] <Tyazhely666> GuHHH: but why are you use ubuntu?
[09:32] <fyodor> hi
[09:32] <fyodor> hi
[09:32] <magnetron> Tyazhely666: for the majority, Ubuntu "just work's"
[09:32] <Heretic> wb beep
[09:33] <GuHHH> Tyazhely666: i have ubuntu and debian installed. i like ubuntu, anyway, its debian based.
[09:33] <Zues_62> just reformating
[09:33] <yigal> Spoon98: did you find a wiki page for the chip?
[09:33] <BeepAU> Heretic - thanks
[09:33] <eck> sulle_: what you are doing is logging in, and as you log in the ftp server should write some log text to the log file
[09:33] <andy__> hello there, does anyone know a good screencast software for linux?
[09:33] <eck> sulle_: so you want to see what is added to the log file as you log in to try to isolate the problem
[09:33] <gregorovius> my computer won't standby or hibernate, could anyone help me debug this?
[09:33] <kahrytan> screencast?
[09:33] <yigal> Zues_62: either way, but your usb device is acting very very strangely
[09:33] <sulle_> eck: "530 login failer" when i tryed to login.
[09:34] <Zues_62> yigal i realise
[09:34] <Heretic> Beep: i'm honestly not sure about the hex key being too small, i've never used encryption myself, i use mac adress filtering
[09:34] <eck> sulle_: the tail -f command will show new additions to the log file
[09:34] <belfegor> what should i do to install windows on my machine without afecting ubuntu?
[09:34] <fyodor> I have a question related to ubuntu,I have ubuntu 7.04 and If I try to put some modules in the blacklist some modules wont load after restart but for some ones the blacklist have no effect
[09:34] <Spoon98> yes :D
[09:34] <fyodor> what is wrong ?
[09:34] <eck> sulle_: but you need to have it running before you log in
[09:34] <tex__> intel_nrg FWH not detected
[09:34] <kahrytan> Heretic: MAC addresses can be spoofed.
[09:34] <BeepAU> Heretic - well, even when i turn it off, i can't get a connection
[09:34] <GuHHH> kahrytan: nice thing to do with cable modem connections, lol
[09:34] <yigal> Spoon98: "yes :D" you get it?
[09:34] <Heretic> kahrytan: i know, but i trust my neighbors pretty well
[09:35] <Thunderguy> I had a question, could the Ubuntu minimal install cd ( 10 mb's ) be used to custom build an ubuntu setup using apt-get to get what I want?
[09:35] <magnetron> Heretic: ... and anyone that happens to pass by
[09:35] <fyodor> I have ubuntu 7.04 and If I try to put some modules in the blacklist some modules wont load after restart but for some ones the blacklist have no effect
[09:35] <GuHHH> Thunderguy: if it has aptitude, sure.
[09:35] <Spoon98> yigal: yes I found it:
[09:35] <Spoon98> " If you have a Centrino based laptop, it likely has an Intel ipw2200 based card.  It works out of the box but uses an ancient driver.  See  Luca_Linux's post for a really good guide on getting the ipw2200 card setup (you may want to stop before he takes you into the WPA portion of the setup). Some users have experienced problems with their wireless connections after upgrading to Hoary from Warty with the Intel ipw2200 (prior to
[09:35] <yigal> Thunderguy: yes, but it would be very dangerous, tricky
[09:35] <GuHHH> Thunderguy: thats why minimal install :P
[09:35] <Heretic> magnetron: if somebody really wants to get in, they're going to get in no matter what
[09:36] <Spoon98> yigal: oops, sorry that was a bit long
[09:36] <yigal> Spoon98: great, almost all wireless works in linux
[09:36] <Zues_62> yigal its still not unmounting in gnome
[09:36] <Thunderguy> Well I've done a custom build of Debian Testing from a network cd... would a custom build of ubuntu be just as simple as debian testing on ubuntu's minimal?
[09:36] <magnetron> Heretic: yes, so you better not lock the door either.
[09:36] <eck> Thunderguy: i think you can't just cold start from apt, you would need to debootstrap or something a minimal environment and apt up from there
[09:36] <yigal> Zues_62: you reformatted it?
[09:36] <yigal> Zues_62: are you using Edgy?
[09:37] <Zues_62> no feisty
[09:37] <GuHHH> Thunderguy: this installer is the network cd?
[09:37] <yigal> Zues_62: that is odd, because /dev/sda should be your primary disk?
[09:37] <GuHHH> i dont know any installer with 10mb :(
[09:38] <Spoon98> yigal: the only problem is that the guide doesn't activate the card :( the radio is still off
[09:38] <eck> GuHHH: there is a boot.iso for network install that is ~8MB
[09:38] <yigal> Zues_62: do you have Ubuntu on /dev/sda1?
[09:38] <Thunderguy> GuHHH: Well what I have is... ' Debian Testing Network Install release - 6/19/06 '
[09:38] <yigal> Spoon98: if you know the chipset search ubuntuforums.org
[09:38] <gregorovius> my computer won't standby or hibernate, could anyone help me debug this? I can't find anything on google or launchpad
[09:38] <eck> Thunderguy: if you want to do an ubuntu install grab the ubuntu network boot iso
[09:38] <GuHHH> eck: if its for network install does it means lan install? or fully installed by apt?
[09:38] <eck> Thunderguy: it is on the mirrors, but you have to dig around for it
[09:38] <Zues_62> no yigal it has nothing on it its the windows drive
[09:38] <Thunderguy> GuHHH: What I don't like is that Debian Testing is constant moving, while Debian's stable version lags behind, so I'm considering Ubuntu but want it set up exactly like my debian testing is now
[09:39] <eck> GuHHH: it is the same as the debian network install, which uses apt
[09:39] <yigal> Zues_62: so /dev/sda1 is your windows drive?
[09:39] <cyphase> Anyone know why my Realtek 8180 worked in Edgy but isn't working in Feisty?
[09:39] <Zues_62> how can i recreate the mount point then yigal
[09:39] <sulle_> eck: did u get the query ?
[09:39] <Thunderguy> ah
[09:40] <yigal> Zues_62: sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2 "where ever you want to mount the device"
[09:40] <GuHHH> eck: so he must not have any problem installing from apt :P
[09:40] <eck> sulle_: i don't think so
[09:40] <sulle_> hmm
[09:40] <eck> GuHHH: yeah, but if you look at how it is done, it is done in a bunch of stages, so you'd have to do it like that, i don't think it is as simple as just issuing a single apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[09:40] <yigal> Zues_62: excuse me is the flashdrive ext3 or another type of format?
[09:41] <yigal> Zues_62: -t "format of drive"
[09:41] <Zues_62> yigal ext3
[09:41] <Igorek> hi to all!
[09:41] <bullgard4> Left-klick on my NetworkManager Applet 0.6.4 no longer lists any WLANs in my vicinity any more, but a menu item 'Manual configuration...'. Most likely I misadjusted a NetworkManager setting. How to obtain a Netzwerk-Manager-Applet configuration as shown in http://lwn.net/Articles/169130/?
[09:41] <Zues_62> what do i type after mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2/u
[09:41] <Zues_62> do i do usb disk?
[09:41] <sulle_> eck: can u write something to me so i can paste you the lines ?
[09:41] <violator_> what's ext2 used for?
[09:41] <yigal> Zues_62: make a directory to mount the flashdrive on
[09:42] <Thunderguy> eck: Well I didn't have it that easy with debian-testing what my plan is, is to pull a dpkg list of packages from debian testing, and 'manually' read that into the apt-get for ubuntu, so I'll have roughly the same packages as I did when I was on debian ( only the Ubuntu equivelants )
[09:42] <Zues_62> ok i typed mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2/media/UsbDisk is that right yigal?
[09:42] <Spoon98> does anyone know how to turn the radio on/off on a wlan card?
[09:42] <Thunderguy> eck: In theory I would be on an Ubuntu Equivelant of the Debian that I'm on now
[09:42] <yigal> Zues_62: no you need a space, /dev/sda2 /media/UsbDisk
[09:42] <Zues_62> ok
[09:43] <eck> Thunderguy: it is easy to do a minimal install and then just copy the package list, is there a reason you are not doing that?
[09:43] <GuHHH> Thunderguy: i was about to tell you the same, hehe
[09:43] <yigal> Zues_62: /media/UsbDisk has to exist already
[09:43] <Zues_62> sill that error yigal
[09:43] <yigal> Zues_62: and nothing can be in it
[09:43] <eck> !cloning > Thunderguy
[09:43] <Thunderguy> eck: So I could do a minimal install from the desktop cd?
[09:43] <bjc> violator_, it's a filesystem. Kinda' like ext3, but without journaling.
[09:43] <sulle_> eck: did u get the message  ?
[09:43] <eck> Thunderguy: you can do it from debootstrap
[09:43] <yigal> Zues_62: is there anything in /media/UsbDisk ?
[09:43] <eck> sulle_: no, i think you need to be registered
[09:43] <bef> How do I burn a .avi to a DVD so it can be played in a DVD player with an application (Linux)
[09:43] <violator_> i see
[09:43] <GuHHH> whats !cloning?  :P
[09:44] <Zues_62> no yigal
[09:44] <eck> !cloning > GuHHH
[09:44] <Thunderguy> ah
[09:44] <Thunderguy> Thanks
[09:44] <gregorovius> bef, do you need to play it on a standalone dvd player, or on a computer?
[09:44] <yigal> Zues_62: what error does it give?
[09:44] <sulle_> eck: can u give me a link to a pastebin?, so i can paste you the config file? and maybe see what is wrong there?
[09:44] <violator_> can I transform ubuntu to kubuntu?
[09:45] <yigal> violator_: anything is possible, but it is not easy
[09:45] <violator_> is there a guide out there?
[09:45] <Zues_62> how can i copy paste it in ehre yigal it wont let me
[09:45] <leviathan> hi!! somebody can help me & me NVIDIA FX5200 on Festy Fawn, I want Install Beryl...
[09:45] <eck> sulle_: i don't use proftpd (i use vsftpd), i'm not sure that that would help
[09:46] <eck> sulle_: fwiw vsftpd will log all the auth stuff to the logs in the default configuration
[09:46] <yigal> Zues_62: highlight an area and click the middle button when over the terminal
[09:46] <sulle_> eck: hmmmm.
[09:46] <Zues_62> yigal it wont let me
[09:46] <Parmenion> hey guys
[09:47] <yigal> Zues_62: get some sleep
[09:47] <Parmenion> ouch ... 20s lag
[09:47] <Zues_62> yigal thanks thanks for nothing
[09:47] <yigal> Zues_62: don't worry about it, restart the computer if you want
[09:47] <yigal> Zues_62: good luck
[09:47] <sanityx> Before I go ahead and install Windows Vista, does Feisty have any trouble dual booting with Vista?
[09:48] <Parmenion> err, its normally a better idea to install windows before anythign else
[09:48] <curiozo> hello ppl, just an ms windows kinda guy trying this OS for the first time. What, other than a more stable system, can i gain by switching to ubuntu?
[09:48] <sanityx> Parmenion, I know that.
[09:48] <sanityx> Parmenion, But I meant besides that.
[09:48] <Parmenion> otherwise, nothing much i believe
[09:48] <sulle_> eck: root@Server:~# /etc/init.d/proftpd restart * Stopping ftp server proftpd                                                                  [ ok ]   * Starting ftp server proftpd                                                                          - IPv6 getaddrinfo 'Server' error: Name or service not known
[09:48] <Parmenion> curiozo: freedom
[09:49] <curiozo> how much tho?
[09:49] <Parmenion> as in libre and to a certain extent gratis
[09:49] <curiozo> true...
[09:49] <Parmenion> you have tonnes of free software
[09:49] <GuHHH> !cloning > GuHHH
[09:49] <GuHHH> ? lol
[09:49] <curiozo> osuch as...?
[09:49] <Parmenion> which work far more admirably compared to commercial alternatives
[09:49] <GuHHH> so what?
[09:50] <Parmenion> quark
[09:50] <Parmenion> beryl
[09:50] <Parmenion> nothing much in terms of games though, but i get peace of mind using Ubuntu
[09:50] <Parmenion> security is another important aspect
[09:50] <eck> sulle_: i don't think that will be a problem -- if it was you wouldn't be able to connect to the server at all, and obviously you can't
[09:50] <curiozo> any recommended links?
[09:50] <eck> sulle_: in any event it is decoupled from the login process
 bef, do you need to play it on a standalone dvd player, or on a computer?
[09:51] <bef> sTANDALONE
[09:51] <Parmenion> curiozo: google is your friend :P what kind of links are you looking for?
[09:51] <bef> How do I burn a .avi to a DVD so it can be played in a DVD player with an application (Linux)
[09:51] <CheshireViking> curiozo, links for what?
[09:51] <zouzou85> hello
[09:52] <zouzou85> anyone here?
[09:52] <curiozo> links to some cool SW for ubuntu
[09:52] <zouzou85> anybody here is a gaim user?
[09:52] <sanityx> zouzou85, I am.
[09:52] <curiozo> and yes, i know google is always an option...just thought i'd ask the pros first....
[09:52] <eck> curiozo: no links, just hit the repositories
[09:52] <sanityx> zouzou85, And possibly 95% of all *nix users are.
[09:52] <eck> !repositories > curiozo
[09:52] <magnetron> curiozo: use the add/remove programs thingy
[09:52] <zouzou85> is there any plugin to get other people's emoticons?
[09:53] <nu-> does ubuntu have a mail server?
[09:53] <CheshireViking> curiozo, pretty much most things you need will be installable through Synaptic (equivalent of MS add/remove programmes, except that the software downloads automatically
[09:53] <lynucs> ping
[09:53] <sanityx> zouzou85, you mean to see the custom emoticons other people are using?
[09:53] <sanityx> zouzou85, not that I knw of.
[09:53] <eck> nu-: lots
[09:53] <nu-> how do i start it
[09:54] <zouzou85> and copy them for your own use sanityx
[09:54] <eck> nu-: i think only the sendmail command is installed, if you want a full mta you need to install exim/postfix/sendmail/qmail
[09:54] <curiozo> yes, i've run it a couple of times already...it's a beauty...smooth installs....
[09:54] <sanityx> zouzou85, Yeah not that I know of, but you can download custom emoticons for gaim somewhere.
[09:54] <nu-> eck: im making a program in python that will need to send mail at one point. but it can only do if theres a mail server running
[09:54] <sanityx> zouzou85, btw its now Pidgin, not gaim.
[09:55] <eck> nu-: you can just use the sendmail command, it is installed by default
[09:55] <CheshireViking> curiozo, if you've downloaded the ubuntu live cd, just open up synaptic from System Administration, Administration and have a look at the packages it gives you the option to install
[09:55] <Igorek> hi to all
[09:55] <Igorek> i have a problem with internet connection
[09:55] <curiozo> ok, will do. thanks for the feedback guys, bye for now
[09:55] <nu-> eck: if i type 'sendmail' says its not found
[09:55] <zouzou85> i know about that, but i know that both kopete and amsn have some plugins to handle that, i thought pidgin (i like gaim better) would have it sanityx
[09:55] <forbeg> Forb:
[09:56] <Igorek> in a matter of fact now i cant browse there but as u see i can chat in irc and icq as well
[09:56] <sanityx> zouzou85, I'm not saying it doesn't. I'm just saying I don't know of any.
[09:56] <eck> nu-: maybe it is not installed by default anymore... install the postfix package
[09:56] <nu-> alright
[09:56] <CheshireViking> curiozo, i see you've installed previously, just have a look at synaptic, always impresses me how much is available - what type of software are you looking for? games, office applications, mp3/video players etc?
[09:56] <sulle_> eck: i made it :D it was the cfg that was wrong :D
[09:56] <sulle_> eck: thnx alot for the help
[09:56] <eck> sulle_: thought as much. no problem
[09:56] <zouzou85> my bad, just noticed , lol sanityx
[09:57] <belfegor> please help i can boot the windows cd without erase my ubuntu?
[09:57] <zouzou85> you want to install windows?
[09:57] <eck> nu-: have you ever sent mail directly with smtp (e.g. using telnet) before?
[09:57] <Zues_62> yigal is got the error cant find /media/UsbDisk in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[09:57] <sanityx> belfegor, Yes you can, but you'll have to reinstall grub to boot ubuntu after.
[09:57] <belfegor> like a second os
[09:57] <nu-> eck: no not yet but i have postfix installed
[09:57] <sanityx> belfegor, I reccomend first installing windows, then ubuntu.
[09:58] <belfegor> yes i understand
[09:58] <belfegor> thanks
[09:58] <Zues_62> guys i got this error when im trying to mount a disk got the error cant find /media/UsbDisk in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[09:58] <Igorek> in the begining only after sevewral attempts i can to connect and after some time the connection lost
[09:59] <eck> nu-: do a google search for how to use the sendmail command, email has a really simple protocol so it should be trivial to write a python function to invoke it with os.popen() or what have you
[09:59] <Zues_62> how do i fix this error i got this error when im trying to mount a disk got the error cant find /media/UsbDisk in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[09:59] <nu-> eck: am doing so now. thanks
[09:59] <belfegor> is recomanded to have windows and ubuntu on amd 1400,256 ddr,hdd 20 gb?
[10:00] <curiozo> yes, media players, some games would be nice...stuff like that
[10:01] <elkbuntu> belfegor, you'd need more ram at least
[10:01] <Parmenion> sorry curiozo, my teacher just called me and my attention was diverted
[10:01] <bef> How do I burn a .avi to a DVD so it can be played in a standalone DVD player? Looking for a ubuntu package or so
[10:01] <curiozo> wanna do as much test driving as possible before deciding on ubuntu as my main OS...i'm running it via vmware for now
[10:01] <nu-> Anyone here use nano?
[10:01] <Parmenion> curiozo: you can get almost anything you want from the standard ubuntu reps
[10:01] <nu-> i can't get syntax hiliting to work
[10:01] <Parmenion> reps = repositories/repos
[10:01] <belfegor> elkbuntu ok thanks
[10:02] <Parmenion> curiozo: if you needed anything more than that... you could always do the odd compile
[10:02] <GuHHH> how do i see the effects on beryl?
[10:03] <curiozo> yes, read a little about it
[10:03] <nu-> guh
[10:03] <nu-> when you move a window, does it wobble?
[10:03] <curiozo> Thanks for the help parmenion
[10:04] <Parmenion> np, sorry if the help is a little sparse
[10:04] <bjc> nu-: What have you tried? http://wiki.linuxhelp.net/index.php/Nano_Syntax_Highlighting suggests you simply copy the default config file over, and uncomment some directives.
[10:04] <curiozo> it's all good. Bye for now
[10:05] <CheshireViking> curiozo, one thing that is useful setting up media packages is to use seveas's metapackages,  that makes it easier getting different media installed
