[01:16] <kidbuntu> is there a way in gnumeric where you can change all words in a column having the same words in a short steps
[01:16] <monkeyBox> stefg: alright, booting back into livecd
[01:17] <crimmy> nobba: really is, it's just difficult sometimes to figure out what the file name is.
[01:17] <nobba> crimmy: note, you will need universe and multiverse repos enabled
[01:17] <crimmy> Oh, I already do, that part was easy.
[01:17] <enry> sorrry last question : as to change the computer name??
[01:18] <rambo3> you mean hostnam
[01:18] <enry> yse
[01:18] <stefg> enry man hostname
[01:18] <enry> yes
[01:18] <bullgard4> Why does my kernel 2.6.20-generic load the 2 modules ata-piix (SCSI low-level driver for Intel PIIX/ICH ATA controllers) and ahci (Advanced Host Controller Interface SATA low-level driver) although I have only 1 HDD with an ATA-6 interface?
[01:18] <crimmy> Okay, thanks guys! It moves entirely too quickly in here for me to try and keep up. Bye.
[01:18] <rambo3> hostname hostname
[01:19] <monkeyBox> ugh, forgot have to boot in VESA mode :-p
[01:19] <stefg> bullgard4: libata ... scsi emulation
[01:20] <stefg> !libata
[01:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about libata - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:20] <stefg> !uuid
[01:20] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[01:20] <bullgard4> stefg: Is this suppsed the answer to my question?
[01:20] <bullgard4> supposed
[01:20] <stefg> bullgard4: not an answer, but a hint where to look for the answer
[01:22] <monkeyBox> stefg: ok, I'm in the livecd
[01:22] <stefg> bullgard4: all hd's  in the ubuntu-kernel are now handled by the scsi subsystem, so you need the scsi-driver, and the libata driver to attach it to the host-controller
[01:23] <takamarou> hi, can somoene help me with setting up my wireless internet stuff? im all confused
[01:23] <stefg> monkeyBox: ok... can you paste the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' to !pastebin?
[01:23] <stefg> !pastebin | monkeyBox
[01:23] <ubotu> monkeyBox: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[01:24] <bullgard4> stefg: Is ahci the libata driver or ata_piix?
[01:24] <tarntow> Anyone sometimes has sound problem where it just goes off?
[01:25] <mikl> Hmmm, I was tinkering with the smbldap script from majen.net to set up a Windows fileserver
[01:25] <Ar-Pharazon> Hi, would anyone around here know about fixing mucked up netbeans installations by any chance? I know this is ubuntu help, not netbeans help, but maybe if I ask really nice?
[01:25] <stefg> bullgard4: i guess ata_piix
[01:25] <Ar-Pharazon> takamarou: what's the problem?
[01:25] <mikl> but now I cannot log in on the linux box - i think it's because pam wants to use the ldap server as well...
[01:26] <Thokalin> Hello, does anyone have any clue on why on login my top panel does not appear?
[01:26] <monkeyBox> stefg: you gonna be around in 30min?  I have to run to work (this is actually my work comp that I'm installing on :-p)  I'll jump online as soon as I get there
[01:26] <takamarou> Ar-Pharazon, not a real problem, im just new to ubuntu and dont know my way around yet.  I know that its finding my wireless card, but i dont know where to connect
[01:26] <monkeyBox> (at least I can use the livecd to get work done while I'm fixing it :-p)
[01:26] <stefg> monkeyBox: can't guarantee that.. i've got work to do, too :-)
[01:27] <monkeyBox> :-(   ok,   I'll just hop on when I get here, and if you're here you're here.
[01:27] <Ar-Pharazon> takamarou: there should be an icon for it in the top left near your clock. Clicking on it should bring up a list of availabe networks.
[01:27] <monkeyBox> stefg: any clues as to what I should be looking for?
[01:27] <monkeyBox> I'm an ex-gentoo user so, I'm not a _total_ newbie :)
[01:27] <dthacker> hi how can I automagically set the shell to bash when I sudo sh?
[01:28] <monkeyBox> just haven't run into this situation b4
[01:28] <jrib> dthacker: don't sudo sh, instead use 'sudo -i'
[01:28] <takamarou> Ar-Pharazon, oh wait... i was wrong, its not finding my wireless card right now..    how do i go about fixing that then?
[01:28] <stefg> monkeyBox: either it's the cylinder issue, or it's the drive which changes it's drive number during boot (so grub gets confused)... you could try to d/l the super grub disk and see if this can fix it for you
[01:29] <dthacker> jrib: ah, that's nice.  Thanks!
[01:30] <monkeyBox> stefg, ok -- thanks :)
[01:30] <stefg> monkeyBox: http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/
[01:30] <Ar-Pharazon> takamarou: Sorry, I'm not sure about that. Is it supported? Did you get anything regarding propriety drivers?
[01:31] <takamarou> well, "wireless" isnt showing up in my list of available connections, so right now its not finding it.  I know that ubuntu will work with this wireless card cause my brother has used the same card with his computer running ubuntu
[01:31] <Xtr3me> sal all
[01:31] <linux4me> hi guys, i don't think it is iptables as "sudo iptables -L" returns "policy accept" for chain input, chain forward, and chain output. none of them have info for target, prot, opt,source or destination.  I checked the command history and saw a line about "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" which is set to 1
[01:32] <Ar-Pharazon> takamarou: Is there a wireless on/off switch on the computer or something like that?
[01:32] <takamarou> no
[01:32] <linux4me> also nmap states the port 22 and 1723 are open for ssh and pptp
[01:33] <Ar-Pharazon> takamarou: hmm... Try System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers Manager
[01:33] <Ar-Pharazon> takamarou: anything about wireless cards?
[01:34] <takamarou> ar-Pharazon "Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers"
[01:35] <gnuskool> irc sorely needs a tab auto-complete for usernames, is there anything similiar?
[01:35] <Tomcat_> gnuskool: Most clients have it already.
[01:35] <Ar-Pharazon> takamarou: It's not that then.  I didn't even play that. =D
[01:36] <takamarou> ar-pharazon, well, i need to go.. thanks for all ur help
[01:37] <Ar-Pharazon> takamarou: I'm not sure then. sorry I couldn't help you
[01:37] <Ar-Pharazon> So, that's a no on my netbeans thing, huh?

[01:51] <Pici> Carroarmato1: Same thing it uses for any other mounted devices.  umount.
[01:52] <Carroarmato1> Pici: any specific commands? Or just " umount /dev/sdb2 " ?
[01:52] <Pici> Carroarmato1: Just like that.
[01:52] <turbo2> hey

[01:52] <ubotu> turbo2: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:53] <Carroarmato1> Pici: ok thx! I needed to know that for my tutorial on the wiki of Amarok to sync Ipods with Rockbox on them ;)
[01:53] <kev_b> stefg: will those work on a mounted partition? would dd work?
[01:54] <turbo2> in one book (but i forgot in wich one:D ) i read, that u can install ubuntu in one folder and all other things in another folder...because easyer upgrading
[01:54] <kauer> takamarou: if you haven't already been told, you can give any user global admin (root) privileges by placing that user in the group "admin". It is a very, very, very unwise thing to do unless you trust that person completely, and if you DO trust that person completely it is not very, very, very unwise, just very unwise.
[01:54] <reallyjoel> No media player will play any of my MP3's.. I have mpeglib installed
[01:54] <turbo2> how can i do it?

[01:55] <reallyjoel> kauer, thats very synical of you, do you expect friends to fuck you over?
[01:55] <stefg> kev_b: creating a partition image from a running system with mounted partitions will pretty surely give a corrupt image. all the buffers are dirty and so is the fs. i'd rather look into into getting some rescue system installed on the remote box, which has an rsync server
[01:55] <Pici> turbo2: When you partition during your install, you can setup a separate partition to mount /home on

[01:57] <sujan> ya?
[01:58] <stefg> kev_b: what i do is using INSERT, a 50 MB knoppix-based rescue distro in my /boot. it runs completly out of a RAM disk, so i can unmount and image the whole disk

[01:59] <Pici> sujan: On Ubuntu?
[01:59] <osiris_> reallyjoel: try installing vlc ive used it alot for applications i develop for radio stations. and it plays almost all file formats

[02:27] <aguitel> gnuskool ,ok i am waiting for you
[02:27] <inc0> please?<:)
[02:27] <robbomx> tony_tomato: what do you mean, I'm a bit of a noob at Ubuntu..
[02:27] <osiris_> where is the apache httdocs folder located. i was a former windows user
[02:27] <aguitel> gnuskool ,i have sound in win but in ubuntu not
[02:28] <seamus_ie> is it possible to use a laptop as a second monitor over a network using vnc?

[02:29] <osiris_> ubntu_aatim: so if i dump my sites their i will be able to test them locally
[02:29] <ubntu_aatim> yup
[02:29] <stefg> monkeyBox: so that's fdisk -l output of the box in question?
[02:29] <monkeyBox> stefg: yeah
[02:30] <monkeyBox> stefg: just noticed there's no bootable flag
[02:30] <osiris_> ubntu_aatim: i dont mean to sound incompetent  but how do i call it from the browser
[02:31] <stefg> monkeyBox: i see... so you have a root and a /home partition? (grub needs no 'active' flag...that's DOS BS)
[02:31] <ubntu_aatim> http://localhost
[02:31] <monkeyBox> stefg: sda3 is not a /home partition,  it's just my gentoo backup

[02:32] <robbomx> Well i'm trying to input Alsamixer in the terminal, and it is just saying: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[02:32] <stefg> monkeyBox: first i'd get the partition table straight. The swap is marked sda1, but in reality it's in the middle.
[02:33] <kev_b> stefg: do you think 'dar' might do what I want to do? do you know how I can get the build-essentials package and sub-packages to install on breezy without apt-get? thanks btw
[02:33] <monkeyBox> stefg:  ok
[02:33] <monkeyBox> so I need to have my / partition first, right?
[02:33] <robbomx> And same with Amixer, alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[02:34] <aguitel> gnuskool ,i copy to pastebin for you
[02:34] <stefg> kev_b: to be honest i wouldn't try to backup or upgrade the box without physical access to the machine. That's just to risky. you never know if the network comes up again after a reboot
[02:34] <gcostello> when installing a new kernel with aptitude, does the machine automatically reboot?
[02:34] <robbomx> Okay, so i'm going to Outline what i have basically been saying in one whole Paragraph

[02:39] <sipior> robbomx: i meant, which company made your card? gnuskool's recommendation is best: pastebin the lspci output
[02:40] <SlimeyPete> erm, if it works for one user but not the other then it's not a hardware problem, sipior...
[02:40] <robbomx> Sipior, what does Pastebin mean?
[02:40] <robbomx> Sipior, i'm a noob @ this >.<
[02:40] <stefg> monkeyBox: hmmm.... shouldn't have mounted it. get a listing a agin and verify the new order. Then reboot the Live CD for good measure
[02:40] <SlimeyPete> robbomx: try a "sudo adduser <username> audio"
[02:40] <sipior> SlimeyPete: i missed that part in his description of the problem

[02:54] <stefg> monkeyBox: ok, so we're reinstalling grub. if this doesn't fix it, it has something to do with the bios using a different Device number than grub. grub has an option for this, but i need to look that up. But let's first try to get away with just rewritting grub to the MBR
[02:54] <robbomx> sipior, yup you got it
[02:54] <monkeyBox> stefg: ok.

[03:02] <sipior> robbomx: and the master out is unmuted, and the speakers are on?
[03:02] <phaedra> floresc7,  Just use the xp drivers on the install disk.  Install then with ndiswrapper.

[03:05] <gmenelau> hi
 i installed pidentd and its still not working
[03:05] <robbomx> how do i find out, using terminal
[03:05] <jneves> Faithful: is it shutting down or crashing?
[03:05] <gmenelau> i need some help
[03:06] <jneves> nix4me: is it running?
[03:06] <Pici> !ask
[03:06] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:06] <phaedra> floresc7,  Just remember to have ndiswrapper setup the config file...  ;)
[03:06] <jneves> Faithful1: is it shutting down or crashing?
[03:06] <monkeyBox> stefg, I'd have to reboot to see the message :-p
[03:06] <sipior> robbomx: try installing "alsa-tools" then invoke alsa-mixer from the command lnie
[03:06] <floresc7> phaedra: (and everyone else) Thank you for all your help! :)
 yes, i think so
[03:06] <monkeyBox> I'm pretty sure it was "no bootable device found"
[03:06] <jneves> nix4me: check
[03:07] <monkeyBox> "insert boot disk and press key when ready"
[03:07] <stefg> monkeyBox: you had three opportunities to take notes.... ok, so reboot with greetings from Dr. Alzheimer :-)
[03:07] <linux4me> where can i find some good documentation on ip forwarding for ubuntu fiesty?
[03:07] <nix4me> how do i check?

[03:14] <sipior> robbomx: also, does "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils start" return anything?
[03:14] <branstrom> The Gnome menus behave a little weird, if you click a menu so that it pops out (the Applications menu for instance), then move the mouse over the first submenu so that it activates, and _then_ move the mouse quickly down in a 45 degree angle, the second submenu won't activate until about a second later :(
[03:15] <ThatsMe> what should i do to config xorg?

[03:20] <sipior> robbomx: well, the correct driver is loaded, but it doesn't seem to have added the aprropriate device. Try adding the line "snd-ice1724" to the file /etc/modules, and then rebooting
[03:21] <robbomx> what is the command to add?
[03:21] <sipior> robbomx: you need to edit the file with gedit or the like. try "sudo gedit /etc/modules"

[03:23] <gmenelau> yes
[03:23] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  good, what kind of encryption?
[03:23] <gmenelau> tobi-wan , what is that ?
[03:23] <jrib> markvp: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/9820 help?
[03:23] <sipior> bullgard4: why, what were you expecting?
[03:23] <kbrooks> i need some help quick. i want a network static ip.
[03:24] <wirelessmonkey> markvp, I think 32 or 36 ootb, but certainly scalable.
[03:24] <joje> what is glib2 for?
[03:24] <stefg> markvp: there's a specialized server kernel, i don't know the specs for it, but 8 should be no problem
[03:24] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  when configuring your wlan router, you (should have) configured something like wpa or wep ...
[03:24] <stefg> !info linux-image-server | markvp
[03:24] <ubotu> markvp: linux-image-server: Linux kernel image on Server Equipment.. In component main, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS>.28.1 (feisty), package size 23 kB, installed size 52 kB
[03:24] <gmenelau> yes

[03:24] <ctothej> I have a list of web pages that I would like to run through cupsprinttopdf automatically for printing and conversion to pdf. How can I script this or make this automatic to that it can take list of sites and print them?
[03:24] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  ok, which of those :-)
[03:24] <gmenelau> wpa
[03:25] <gmenelau> tobi-wan wpa
[03:25] <markvp> jrib, I read that earlier but at the end it Bhavani didn't sound to sure that it would support 32 processors.
[03:25] <cVsup> i would like to know if there is a package available to do ubuntu customization directly at the installation cd
[03:25] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  have you configured your wireless connection accordingly (so that it uses wpa, together with the correct passphrase)? sorry if this is a dumb question to ask you ;-)
[03:25] <bullgard4> sipior: I was expecting a header file. A header file includes some contents as far as I know: the headers af a C program.
[03:26] <markvp> stefg, thanks.  I'll give it a wack
[03:26] <gmenelau> tobi-wan yes i did
[03:26] <sipior> bullgard4: if you check out the main kernel repository, is that file empty as well?
[03:26] <gmenelau> it ok understand

[03:27] <pixelfairy> whats a good app to see sound levels from a mic?
[03:27] <robbomx> sipior, Nope
[03:27] <joje> what is glib2 for?

[03:28] <j0nas`> hey guys.  how do i remove the annoying kwallet password prompt that comes up every time i start kopete??
[03:28] <tucuna> is this it a hardware issue if the laptop speakers *do not* mute when headphone are plugged in - or how could you manually mute speakers without losing sound on line out?
[03:28] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  can you try executing "iwevent" as root and try to reconnect?
[03:28] <gmenelau> tobi-wan what is that ?
[03:28] <gnuskool> robbomx, did you try removing linux soundbase and reinstalling it?
[03:28] <monkeyBox> stefg: that was the exact error word for word
[03:28] <sipior> robbomx: well, if the module's loaded, the channels are all unmuted, you're a member of the audio group, and the speakers are turned on...i'm out of ideas for you
[03:28] <robbomx> gnuskool, how i do that
[03:28] <TataraKutere> hey everyone
[03:28] <gmenelau> tobi-wan i dont know much about linux i was in windows i just move to linux
[03:28] <Deathminder> hi everone
[03:28] <pixelfairy> tucana, i want to see if the mic works, the speakers are fine
[03:29] <bullgard4> sipior: I do not have to do that, I believe. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild: "You merely need to compile a special driver. For this, you only need to install the linux-headers packages."
[03:29] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  if i am right, this tool should show you what happens when you try to connect (i cannot try it myself, since i am on my wireless connection here *g*)
[03:29] <gnuskool> robbomx, sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
[03:29] <nephish> gmenelau: welcome aboard
[03:29] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  just enter "sudo iwevent"
[03:29] <TataraKutere> i want to know if my system crash or not when i uninstall all fglrx drivers?
[03:29] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  yeah, welcome ;-)
[03:29] <Deathminder> can someone help me with wine ? i wanted to install steam
[03:29] <SmoothOp> http://slickdeals.net/?permadeal=10168#direct_deal_10168
[03:29] <stefg> monkeyBox: hmmm.... so the bios does not even see the harddisk... this seems no grub problem, but some bios setting. did the bios recognize the disk at all, when you're in the the settings menu? any 'antivirus' boot sector protection activated?
[03:29] <SmoothOp> Deathminder, do oyu have an ati video card?
[03:29] <sipior> bullgard4: my question was a fancy way of asking: "why do you care?" and, more importantly, "why is this interesting on an ubuntu support channel?"
[03:30] <gnuskool> robbomx, then put em back  sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
[03:30] <gmenelau> tobi-wan what is sudo iwevent
[03:30] <Pici> !spam | SmoothOp
[03:30] <ubotu> SmoothOp: Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !NickSpam - and most importantly, use common sense :-)
[03:30] <warbler> !wine
[03:30] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[03:30] <TataraKutere> i want to know if my system crash or not when i uninstall all fglrx drivers?
[03:30] <monkeyBox> stefg: yeah, it recognizes the disk. It shows the model.  I didn't see any antivirus settings in there.
[03:30] <gmenelau> nephish good to be here
[03:30] <monkeyBox> stefg: you sure I don't need to be setting the bootable flag in fdisk?
[03:31] <robbomx> gnuskool, im re-installing now
[03:31] <bullgard4> sipior: I'd appreciate exact answers and not fancy men.
[03:31] <stefg> monkeyBox: won't hurt.... i know grub doesn't need it, but maybe the bios
[03:31] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  these are administration commandos that you can use on the commandline (e.g. a terminal like gnome-terminal)
[03:31] <SmoothOp> pici, it was a good deal on pants, i figured you could use somne
[03:31] <sipior> bullgard4: perhaps you should pester the kernel developers then, or consult the main kernel tree
[03:31] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  "sudo" allows you to run commands as the administration user "root"
[03:31] <gmenelau> tobi-wan can you help me do it step by step ?
[03:31] <gnuskool> robbomx, in te meantime do you use gnome or kde?
[03:31] <profanephobia> Deathminder, http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=1554 (this should help)
[03:32] <robbomx> gnome. i think
[03:32] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  i will try my best. just open a terminal, first ;-)
[03:32] <stefg> monkeyBox: while you are at it type 'lspci' and check what chipset this is
[03:32] <SmoothOp> deathminder, do you have an ati video card?
[03:32] <Pici> SmoothOp: pants are overrated.
[03:32] <gmenelau> tobi-wan how?
[03:32] <robbomx> gnuskool, done
[03:32] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  if you are using gnome, there should be an item "terminal" or somesuch in the application menu
[03:32] <praet> !terminal | gmenelau
[03:32] <ubotu> gmenelau: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal

[03:34] <Faithful1> Trae: I got the shutting down notebook drama
[03:35] <gmenelau> tobi-wan then ?
[03:35] <Trae> Faithful, ahhh lol
[03:35] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  then enter "sudo iwconfig" first and tell me what it says (but use a pastebin, please)

[03:36] <robbomx> gnuskool, ive copied it and saved on desktop
[03:36] <Trae> Faithful1, anyway no I don't know the answer,  I never got my problem fixed.  Sadly, I think once it starts happening, it never stops.  My laptop has been unusable.
[03:36] <robbomx> gnuskool, what u mean by text login type that in and type startx
[03:36] <gi2k15> Hey guys, I got a new HD, but I don't know exactly how to partition it. Do I have to create another primary partiton or just extended?

[03:37] <Nullox> Guys I have a  Trendnet tew 242UB and I was wondering if it's compatible with Ubuntu.
[03:37] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  ok, fine. what does "sudo iwconfig" tell you? (please use paste.ubuntu-nl.org and give me the url)
[03:37] <gnuskool> robbomx,doing this may remove your graphical screen with a mouse n so on, what you may have instead is a text login, that has no mouse etc, so you'll have to login, then type that in, then type startx, this is all in a terminal btw

[03:46] <warbler> paul: main menu should have share files
[03:46] <robbomx> hiya
[03:46] <boozie> installing the drivers after installing is Ubuntu is no problem, I'm just trying to boot from the LiveCD to be able to change my drive partition table

[03:46] <paulcooperorama> how do I join an ubuntu machine to a specific windows network
[03:46] <robbomx> i just logged in, and then i went to normal desktopp
[03:46] <renzo> boozie: so the liveCD wont boot?

[03:46] <renzo> paul: with samba
[03:47] <robbomx> then i went sudo apt-get install gdm ubuntu-desktop
[03:47] <boozie> renzo: actually it does boot but when it comes to loading the gfx driver it hangs
[03:47] <warbler> socket2me: 965 is pretty new - developers need time - I'll have a quick check

[03:47] <Thunderfox933> is gusty gibbion stable enough to use it
[03:47] <CyberShoe> And as I type that, I see that it might be a good idea to whittle that down a bit to see if it's an applet causing the problem.

[03:51] <ubuntu> yo
[03:52] <monkeyBox> stefg: Looks like setting the boot flag got the BIOS to recognize it, though it couldn't find the root partition (and the boot screen is fugly now b/c I re-installed grub).   I'm going to try and re-run the ubuntu installer now that I have the partitions straight.  Hopefully that'll do the trick

[03:52] <DoctorMO> the effects have 1 set of workspaces and the effects (compiz) has another set of workspaces, so my windows can now be on 4 by 4 (or 16) diferent work spaces and that is bad

[04:07] <Rocky44> I've tried changing my LBA mode in BIOS, but some security option which I can't find is locking it down

[04:12] <siskel> Rocky44, are you dualbooting with xp?
[04:12] <Rocky44> happen
[04:12] <Rocky44> yeah
[04:12] <GIn> !wine
[04:12] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[04:12] <kslawson> and when i installed fwcutter it just keeps erroring about not being the correct version, but at odd times, like it's a background script.  not being in front of my ubuntu test lappy i can't elaborate
[04:12] <IndyGunFreak> i've not had an issue dual booting w/ XP.
[04:13] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: whats your setup, how is Ubuntu installed(on same drive as windows, 2 different drives, etc..)
[04:13] <Rocky44> 2 different drives
[04:13] <Rocky44> it's on my slave drive
[04:13] <Rocky44> my BIOS is from 2004
[04:13] <Rocky44> if that matters
[04:13] <paulcooperorama> hows this
[04:13] <Rocky44> it probably does
[04:13] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: probably not... my laptop is quite a bit older than that.. and its fine
[04:13] <etale> hi all -- I'm having a strange problem with vlc... an avi will play, but no video... however when i move the window, the video shows for the split seconds when i pick up and put down... also i can manage to 'trick' the window into playing by switching desktops back and forth
[04:13] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: have you tried setting the slave drive to boot first?
[04:13] <etale> but any clicking or popup makes screen go black
[04:14] <Rocky44> how do I do that?
[04:14] <IndyGunFreak> in the bios, change the boot order.
[04:14] <Kousotu> IndyGunFreak: my grandmoter's pc is from 2001
[04:14] <Kousotu> lol
[04:14] <etale> and also there are black lines and boxed across the video
[04:14] <etale> any helps?
[04:14] <IndyGunFreak> Kousotu: lol, thats about the era of m laptop, maybe 2002
[04:14] <Rocky44> can you just walk me through that, so I don't have to check back after I reboot?
[04:14] <profanephobia> how can i get my built-in 6 in one card reader to be reconized
[04:14] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: i don't know your bios, you'll have to figure it out on your own
[04:15] <jeffferrari> etale: are you using compiz/beryl?
[04:15] <Rocky44> okay.
[04:15] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: all i'm saying, is go to your bios, and change the boot sequence, to 1. CD/DVD drive, 2.  Slavedrive(with ubuntu) 3. Master drive(with windows)
[04:15] <etale> jeffferrari not at the moment
[04:15] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: if that doesn't work, come back.
[04:15] <Rocky44> okay, I'll see if I can do that
[04:15] <etale> and in mplayer the screen is all blue with the same symptoms
[04:16] <jeffferrari> etale: thats exactly what happens when I try stuff like that with compiz-fusion on
[04:16] <renzo> etale: is that in all video players and all codec formats?
[04:16] <Rocky44> is there anything else I should try, if that doesn't work?
[04:16] <DarkRaven> Hi, anyone know of a package that convert from mp3 to rm in a batch mode that runs under Ubuntu?
[04:16] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: probably, but try that first, because its easiest
[04:16] <kaneda> i have an issue
[04:16] <Rocky44> okay
[04:16] <Kousotu> anyone got a realtek HD sound card?
[04:16] <renzo> kaneda: tell us
[04:16] <IndyGunFreak> kaneda: open up a news stand and sell those issues.
[04:16] <Pc_Dark> what's my root passwd (SU)
[04:16] <renzo> Kousutu: yes, i have the 8187
[04:16] <Pc_Dark> I just made a clean install.
[04:17] <IndyGunFreak> !root | Pc_Dark
[04:17] <ubotu> Pc_Dark: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[04:17] <Pc_Dark> Is it possible for me to create a root account?
[04:17] <kaneda> ok i was running update manager for some new updates and it gave me an error about double repos
[04:17] <renzo> lol, amusing root explanation
[04:17] <IndyGunFreak> Pc_Dark: yes, but its incredibly dumb
[04:18] <profanephobia> how can i get my built-in 6 in one card reader to be recognized
[04:18] <kaneda> IndyGunFreak: your a funny person
[04:18] <renzo> kaneda: have you checked your sources.list to make you havent got the same ones listed twice?
[04:18] <IndyGunFreak> ubuntu uses sudo for a reason.. to protect users from themselves
[04:18] <IndyGunFreak> kaneda: i strive.
[04:18] <warbler> Pc_Dark: the user you set up at install has admin rights to set roots password in - users-groups
[04:18] <kaneda> i shouldnt but i will check right now
[04:18] <kbrooks> CAN SOMEONE HELP ME
[04:18] <Kousotu> renzo: is sound workin for you?

[04:19] <etale> but if i do open with command "mplayer"
[04:19] <etale> then things play
[04:19] <renzo> Kousutu: not initially no, i had to compile the latest alsa from source, i'll get you the link to my guide
[04:19] <IndyGunFreak> Pc_Dark: well, if you feel you must have root access, use Mepis or Pure debian
[04:19] <kbrooks> RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ /wiki # in .htaccess, does not ever work.

[04:25] <GIn> :S Ubuntu takes a lot of time to  extract a 300mb rar file :S
[04:25] <IndyGunFreak> gusty231: looks like you need to put that driver you downloaed, inside of cups.
[04:26] <soldier> ok so after editing the source list i tried updating it with the command sudo apt-get update
[04:26] <soldier>  but the update never finishes
[04:26] <IndyGunFreak> soldier: server might be down.. or you didn't add the repository correctly
[04:27] <IndyGunFreak> soldier: what repo are you trying to add to your sources list?
[04:27] <warbler> have been using swiftfox on my ubuntu box & I have to say I AM impressed!

[04:27] <renzo> soldier: why not just install ntfs-3g
[04:27] <Rocky44> IndyGunFreak: it didn't work, unfortunately

[04:31] <siskel> IndyGunFreak, I have flash working in Firefox but not in Opera. I'm trying to figure out a way to get it working...
[04:31] <scipio> tarelerulz, i didn't fiddle with individual setthings. i'm using only the global ones
[04:32] <Rocky44> how do I move /boot to the front?
[04:32] <gcostello> siskel: try this - dpkg -S opera|grep plugin
[04:32] <Rocky44> do I reinstall it?
[04:32] <Rocky44> it meaning ubuntu?
[04:32] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: that, i'm not really sure.
[04:32] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: first and foremost, before we go further, do you have a good back up of your important stuff?
[04:33] <Rocky44> on my main drive?
[04:33] <IndyGunFreak> yes
[04:33] <siskel> gcostello, thanks! (usr/lib/opera)
[04:33] <Rocky44> the only thing I don't want to lose is windows
[04:33] <Rocky44> because I have to use that for stuff
[04:33] <Rocky44> nothing else is really important
[04:33] <Marfi> if i want to resize my ubuntu partition, what is the best way to go about doing that?
[04:33] <martin_> hi everyone, basically quod libet is crashing on startup, doesn't print out any interesting error messages but i'm guessing the media library is corrupted, can anyone tell me how i can completely remove it including the database and reinstall? apt-get remove seems to skip the media library
[04:33] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: well, its a slim possibility, but it is possible in screwing around, you can wreck a windows install.. you really shouldn't even attempt to install inux, unless you have a good back up of your current os.

[04:34] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: but if you're feeling like a gamer... :), Google "Super Grub Disk"..., download and burn it to a disk.. and use it to manually reinstall grub.
[04:35] <IndyGunFreak> but iw ould stress.. BACK UP
[04:35] <Rocky44> will do
[04:35] <Rocky44> I actually do have back ups of windows
[04:35] <chad> can someone help me with wine? i just installed it, and when i double click on a .exe, nothing happen, im trying to isntall filezilla as a test, and this is what a get from the terminal:

[04:35] <chad> thanks :)
[04:35] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: ok... just saying you've been warned
[04:35] <ord> i think both are same
[04:35] <Rocky44> IndyGunFreak: is there a cd burning program on the live cd
[04:35] <IndyGunFreak> on the live CD?... how are you gonna burn it from the live CD...
[04:35] <IndyGunFreak> do you have two cd/dvd drives?
[04:36] <Rocky44> actually, warbler, if I do a fresh installation
[04:36] <Pici> chad: Why are you installing filezilla in wine? Theres a linux port in the repositories?
[04:36] <Rocky44> how should I put the /boot in the front?
[04:36] <Rocky44> because I'm pretty new at this stuff
[04:36] <chad> Pici, just testing a .exe
[04:36] <siskel> chad, did you do "winecfg"?
[04:36] <Rocky44> IndyGunFreak: I do
[04:36] <martin_> hmm, quodlibet now crashes whenever i try to import the folder containing all my music, any ideas?
[04:36] <chad> no, i didnt
[04:36] <warbler> Rocky44: just load ubuntu first :)
[04:36] <GNine> juhaz... dont give that sort of advice to use rm
[04:36] <ord> hey anone knows the difference between add and remove & synaptic in ubuntu?
[04:36] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: ok.. i think, gnomebaker is installed by default w/ Ubuntu.. Look in Applications/Sound and Video
[04:36] <MuchosGrin> Well, finally Ubuntu does indeed rock :)   I'm now typing from my livecd remaster on the TV! Lol
[04:37] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: do you see gnomebaker in that list?
[04:37] <warbler> ord: I find synaptic more complete
[04:37] <SlimeyPete> ord: same thing, just a different interface. Synaptic is less user-friendl but better when you know what you're doing.
[04:37] <Rocky44> wait, what?  explain that to me ( warbler).  what do you mean by that?
[04:37] <monkeyBox> What's the package name for the firefox flash plugin?
[04:37] <chad> siskel, what should i do with winecfg ?
[04:37] <IndyGunFreak> loading ubuntu first is a ridiculous suggestion
[04:37] <MuchosGrin> flashplugin-nonfree
[04:37] <siskel> chad, run this command from the terminal
[04:38] <renzo> kaneda: no sorry, what was it?
[04:38] <monkeyBox> oh, I see it in the Add/Remove tool
[04:38] <GNine> martin_  is in danger with no help    lol
[04:38] <ord> ok thanx slimeypete
[04:38] <Juhaz> GNine, because...?
[04:38] <GNine> obviously you dont know that such command can do
[04:38] <warbler> Rocky44: unless windows is on the disk already - & you don't want to remove it - then if you install ubuntu, / will be first
[04:38] <chad> siskel, ok, what should i set in there?
[04:38] <siskel> chad, im no wine expert, but i believe you need to run this command first before you use wine. it configures wine
[04:39] <siskel> chad, i think you can keep the defaults...
[04:39] <kaneda> renzo: im sending you a pm
[04:39] <Rocky44> warbler: that's it.  I already have windows and don't want to remove it.
[04:39] <GNine> or
[04:39] <IndyGunFreak> warbler: even then, when he reinstalls Widows, its gonna overwrite the MBR, so he'll have grub issues then.
[04:39] <monkeyBox> ok, but for some reason the add/remove program won't let me install anything.  I can't check the boxes
[04:39] <warbler> k
[04:39] <Rocky44> but in the manual installation, I think there's a way to put a /boot parition under 8GB
[04:39] <Rocky44> I just have no real idea how to do that
[04:40] <renzo> kaneda: i'm not getting anything if you have
[04:40] <warbler> IndyGunFreak: but grub can be reinstalled & updated
[04:40] <kaneda> odd
[04:40] <kaneda> renzo: pm me
[04:40] <IndyGunFreak> warbler: of course it can, but if he's gonna have to reinstall it, why not just reinstall it now, rather than wrecking his whole system, and reinstalling grub after the fact, is hrdly perfect
[04:41] <renzo> kaneda: i tried but its not working because i'm not a registered user.
[04:41] <warbler> rocky44: why the need for / to be first?- works ok whereever it is
[04:41] <kaneda> ahh ok
[04:41] <Rocky44> okay.  I'm just not sure how to put a /boot parition in
[04:41] <kaneda> actually im not either
[04:41] <renzo> lol
[04:41] <warbler> ok
[04:42] <wd1> how do you prevent /tmp file ownership being changed at boot time? every reboot i am seeing everything from /tmp downwards changed to root:root
[04:42] <IndyGunFreak> warbler: i've talked a lot of people through installing/dual booting linux and windows, and everytime i installed windows first, it went off w/o a hitch, the 1 time one insisted on installing ubuntu first, was a complete pain
[04:42] <warbler> Rocky44: say a site on that - one min
[04:42] <Juhaz> GNine, it removes the directory you ask it to remove, without asking. that's all
[04:42] <warbler> *saw
[04:43] <GNine> exactly.. so why do you advice to use such command to someone wanting to do partitioning work

[04:44] <Juhaz> GNine, I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about, martin_ did not ask anything about partitioning.
[04:44] <novato_br> how can I play one wavefile screen login of ubuntu ?
[04:44] <IndyGunFreak> soldier: delete the file you downloaded
[04:45] <milanl> !repos | soldier
[04:45] <ubotu> soldier: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[04:45] <renzo> soldier: open up a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install ntfs-config". this will download and install ntfs-3g and then automatically mount your ntfs partitions with read write access
[04:45] <warbler> 2 sites!
[04:45] <ikaruga> gcostello: i also have that already installed
[04:45] <IndyGunFreak> soldier: i thought you said you tried the link i gave you earlier?.. it gave pretty clear instructions.
[04:45] <monkeyBox> Is there any reason why I wouldn't be able add/remove applications?  I can't check any of the boxes
[04:45] <ikaruga> gcostello: i can compile scribus which uses qt3 just fine
[04:45] <gcostello> ikaruga: sorry, what is the error message exactly?
[04:45] <monkeyBox> oh, the box is greyed out
[04:45] <ikaruga> gcostello: Qt (>= Qt 3.0.1) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
[04:46] <monkeyBox> wtf?  I can't install flash b/c I have amd64?
[04:46] <GNine> still .. issuing that command is highly critical .. whatever.. done with it
[04:46] <jrib> !flash > monkeyBox (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:46] <IndyGunFreak> monkeyBox: well, you can, its just a pain in the rump
[04:46] <IndyGunFreak> monkeyBox: you apparently didn't research the issues w/ 64bit
[04:46] <GNine> martin_ has already met his maker
[04:47] <Juhaz> yes, presumably his music player works again now that the corrupted settings have been deleted
[04:47] <gcostello> ikaruga: you may need to pass the location to the configure script
[04:47] <Juhaz> which is what he did ask about.
[04:47] <monkeyBox> IndyGunFreak, I didn't think I had to...  No one and nothing told me "You should research the issues w/ 64 bit before using the 64-bit version of Ubuntu"
[04:47] <IndyGunFreak> monkeyBox: well, now you know..
[04:47] <kev_b> can anyone tell me why a machine might keep losing its DNS servers? If I put DNS servers into /etc/resolv.conf they are gone (empty file) after reboot
[04:48] <monkeyBox> IndyGunFreak, what other issues do I have to look forward to?
[04:48] <soldier> Indygunfreak:  those were pretty clear instructions but the server was done and therefore i coudlnt update the source list
[04:48] <IndyGunFreak> monkeyBox: well, personally, i would download and burn the 32bit ISO, and use it.
[04:48] <kaneda> renzo: brb
[04:48] <jrib> monkeyBox: no sun java plugin for your browser
[04:48] <IndyGunFreak> soldier: my point is, ntfs-3g, is int he ubuntu-universal repo, so you shouldn't need to add any repo.
[04:49] <brainiac8008> hi.  i just got an hp computer with a 300 gb hard drive, on which is vista and a recovery partition.  When 7.10 comes out, i want to have an ubuntu ext3 partition, a swap partition, and a /home partition too.  how much space do you think i should allocate for my ubuntu ext3 partition, swap partition (I have 2 GB ram), and my /home partition if i allocate let's say 100 gb for vista?
[04:49] <IndyGunFreak> soldier: unless you're using some foriegn repo...
[04:49] <gcostello> ikaruga: what are you trying to compile?
[04:49] <Rocky44> warbler: what were the sites you saw?
[04:49] <aalib> hello
[04:49] <soldier> renzo: after typing udo apt-get install ntfs-config i get this in return E: Couldn't find package ntfs-config
[04:49] <aalib> how do i use curl
[04:49] <ikaruga> gcostello: Brahms - music notation program
[04:49] <spinz8r> !hamachi
[04:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hamachi - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:49] <monkeyBox> jrib, IndyGunFreak, ok, so are the only real issues going to be w/ firefox plugins? b/c if all I need to do is install the 32-bit firefox then I should be ok, right?
[04:49] <renzo> soldier: make sure you have universe and multiverse repos enabled. what version ubuntu you using?
[04:49] <ikaruga> gcostello: i just tried giving it the location of what i think are the qt3 headers
[04:50] <IndyGunFreak> monkeyBox: maybe
[04:50] <ikaruga> gcostello: let's see what happens
[04:50] <Flint> hi all, just wondering. Does it matter if i delete some stuff in my /var/cache folder? saw alot of stuff piling up in there
[04:50] <aalib> i cant install  curl?
[04:50] <jrib> monkeyBox: you need winehq repos for wine, blender 64bit version in the repos is buggy... no w32codecs... that's all that comes to mind
[04:50] <ikaruga> gcostello: hey, the configure passed... hopefully it'll compile
[04:50] <Rocky44> IndyGunFreak: I'm setting the partitions now.  how should I set /boot as a seperate one under 8GB?
[04:50] <jrib> !info curl | aalib
[04:50] <ubotu> aalib: curl: Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS, FTP or GOPHER server. In component main, is optional. Version 7.15.5-1ubuntu2.1 (feisty), package size 159 kB, installed size 256 kB
[04:51] <monkeyBox> ugh
[04:51] <gcostello> ikaruga: I've only ever compiled tora, but these are the relevant flags I used: --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt3 -with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib/qt3
[04:51] <ikaruga> gcostello: nope
[04:51] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: are you reinstalling?
[04:51] <aalib> jrib,
[04:51] <Rocky44> yes.
[04:51] <aalib> sp wat dp o dp
[04:51] <soldier> k im gonna do some reading on repos cuz i have no idea what they are
[04:51] <jrib> aalib: huh?
[04:51] <ikaruga> gcostello: by "nope" i meant it didn't compile
[04:51] <kaneda> hey all
[04:51] <aalib> jrib, ? where do i get the curl
[04:51] <jrib> !software > aalib (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:52] <ikaruga> gcostello: it's telling me something about aclocal and automake
[04:52] <jrib> aalib: use your favorite package manager.  curl is in the main ubuntu repository
[04:52] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: ok... personally, here's how my setup is... and i dual boot fine... swap, 2.90gb, the rest is /
[04:52] <gcostello> ikaruga: same error message?
[04:52] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: i don't make separate partitions for /boot /home, etc..
[04:52] <IndyGunFreak> i find it a bit silly
[04:52] <Rocky44> that would actually make sense
[04:52] <warbler> Rocky44: gparted in the installer will let you set the first new partition as /boot
[04:52] <Rocky44> as my swap partition is just over 8GB
[04:52] <Rocky44> so I'll set that, and reinstall
[04:52] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: thats way way to big.
[04:52] <Rocky44> and see how that works out
[04:52] <Rocky44> probably
[04:53] <Tilllinux> If I want to log onto a win2k3 server domain with an ubuntu server (with the loginscreen, not afterwards through the smb-network), is pam_smb the tool I should use?
[04:53] <gcostello> ikaruga: sudo apt-get install automake
[04:53] <Rocky44> I'll set it to 3GB
[04:53] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: swap should be 1.5x-2x size of your memory..
[04:53] <warbler> swap + memory
[04:53] <warbler> swap = memory
[04:53] <mcinq> I have a dell optiplex 2.0 Ghz, I just installed 7.04. I have a problem with video resolution. I only get 640 X 480 as an option? How do I get more available in Screen Resolution Preferences?
[04:53] <Rocky44> wait, RAM? or hdd memory?
[04:53] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: RAM
[04:53] <warbler> ram
[04:53] <Rocky44> oh
[04:53] <Rocky44> so I should have about 4.5GB?
[04:53] <Rocky44> as I have 1.5GB of RAM
[04:53] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: then i would set swap as about 2.5-3gigs
[04:53] <Rocky44> okay
[04:54] <Rocky44> thank you for your help so far
[04:54] <jrib> !fixres > mcinq (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:54] <Rocky44> I'm not sure what I'd do without all this help
[04:54] <Rocky44> thanks
[04:54] <warbler> with 1gb ram 1gb swap - any more is wasted - even with 1.5gb ram
[04:54] <IndyGunFreak> warbler: yeah, i've just always heard 1.5-2x.. been told that since i first tried linux several years ago.
[04:55] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: hold on a sec...
[04:55] <Chousuke> if you have a laptop, the minimum amount of swap is the amount of RAM I think
[04:55] <IndyGunFreak> i just thought of something
[04:55] <Chousuke> for suspend
[04:55] <diablos_raven> renzo: you still here
[04:55] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: why are you even partitioning the drive?
[04:55] <warbler> IndyGunFreak: set a cpu monitor to watch swap - never used - was for low memory years ago
[04:56] <Chousuke> otherwise, it largely depends on what you need to do with the machine.
[04:56] <IndyGunFreak> warbler: i know, but when you install, you get complaints if you don't set one up, so i just do... 2gigs out of 250, isn't gonna kill me..lol
[04:56] <Kousotu> Chousuke: swap is usually ram + 64
[04:56] <warbler> :)
[04:56] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: are you there?
[04:56] <Kousotu> I have 512 with a 576mb swap
[04:57] <Chousuke> Kousotu: Except on server machines, where you want loads of swap :)
[04:57] <Kousotu> Chousuke: good point
[04:57] <IndyGunFreak> if he's got 2 separate drives, 1 for linux, one for windows he doen't even need to partition the second drive, just in the install option, set linux to use the "whole drive", and it will automagically set the swap and /
[04:57] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: ?
[04:57] <warbler> I have 1gb ram with 1gb swap - swap is never used - but is required to be there in case
[04:58] <jeffferrari> anyone ever tried running intel OS X apps in some type of virtual machine under linux?
[04:58] <IndyGunFreak> i bet that was his issue.
[04:58] <faileas> jeffferrari: OS X PPC or OS X X86?
[04:59] <warbler> swap is hard drive - so slow compared to ram
[04:59] <soldier> renzo: im using the bootable cd of ubunto 7.04
[04:59] <IndyGunFreak> warbler: no, the swap isn't his issue.
[04:59] <IndyGunFreak> i dont think.. i think he partitioned the drive wrong, when he should have just let Linux takeover that drive.
[05:00] <gcostello> ikaruga: is it compiling now?
[05:00] <TooEarly>  how do i get my svideo output to work for an ATI Radeon 9200
[05:00] <warbler> IndyGunFreak: I thought it was the size of his hard drive causing conflicts
[05:00] <IndyGunFreak> warbler: was it?
[05:00] <warbler> ?
[05:00] <jeffferrari> faileas: X86
[05:00] <IndyGunFreak> he probably set the bootflags wrong... from what he just said a minute ago.
[05:00] <faileas> no then ;)
[05:00] <warbler> k
[05:00] <renzo> daiblos_raven: i did get it but i cant reply, though my nick was reg'd but obviously not
[05:00] <ManaPirat> hi
[05:00] <jeffferrari> faileas: actually, either :)
[05:01] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: where di dyou go?
[05:01] <jeffferrari> faileas: what do you use for PPC?
[05:01] <faileas> jeffferrari: pearpc would work up 10.3 . 10.4 is tricky but if you look hard enough there's preinstalled images floating on the net
[05:01] <warbler> IndyGunFreak: must be on two boxes
[05:01] <arghh2D2> Scofield, Medeski, Martin and Wood?
[05:02] <renzo> soldier: you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list to enable universe and multiverse (remove the # from the lines which go - # deb http://blah.etc.etc
[05:02] <IndyGunFreak> warbler: no, i think he's just not paying attention..lol
[05:02] <diablos_raven> renzo: you still here
[05:02] <warbler> :)
[05:02] <renzo> diablos_raven: indeed, see above
[05:02] <renzo> i got yours but i couldnt send
[05:02] <diablos_raven> really and you reg'd
[05:03] <noam_> how horrible would it be to compile from source rosegarden 1.5.1? ubuntu feisty has 1.4 in the repositories...
[05:03] <IndyGunFreak> noam_: probalby not very horrible.
[05:03] <jeffferrari> faileas: ta... I'll start looking - whats the difficulty with tiger?
[05:03] <IndyGunFreak> noam_: try this...
[05:03] <noam_> why not? i thought it would blow the package manager up
[05:03] <IndyGunFreak> noam_: open a terminal, sudo apt-get build-dep rosegarden(or whatever the package name is)....
[05:04] <faileas> jeffferrari: you will need to use 10.3 to bootstrap the install. pearpc.net has a howto

[05:07] <soldier> when i download programs for example flash player drivers they open with the archive manger and i cant execute anything. I extract the file to the desktop and then i have no idea what to do with it
[05:07] <ryanakca> are hyphens permitted in usernames?
[05:07] <arash> CyberMad, Im not sure, but have u checked all the protocols that exist in Kopete?
[05:08] <noam_> i think i can get it compiled, that's not really a problem. but, say, when i upgrade to 7.10, won't dpkg go crazy? it'll probably report the rosegarden package to be broken
[05:08] <ryanakca> soldier: ok, first of all, what format? .tar.gz?
[05:08] <warbler> soldier: how do you download?
[05:08] <bruenig> soldier, yeah that's windows thinking, in the case of flash player, you just move a file into the plugins directory
[05:08] <IndyGunFreak> noam_: it might...
[05:08] <bruenig> soldier, or you can install it from the repositories which is the desired means of doing things
[05:09] <Amaranth> soldier: that's not the best way to get flash
[05:09] <Amaranth> !flash | soldier

[05:09] <CyberMad> arash does Kopete just IM Client? hmm.. do you mean jabber?
[05:09] <noam_> IndyGunFreak, so is there some way to have both installed? or have 1.5.1 installed somewhere out of /usr/?

[05:12] <peeps_work> are there any good programs out there that can open MS .doc files besides OO.O, and AbiWord
[05:12] <Kousotu> never has anything I;m looking for
[05:12] <gcostello> peeps_work: antiwork :-)
[05:12] <reallyjoel> is there a way to allow root actions in a graphical file browser?
[05:12] <arash> warbler , I read all them, my sound works, but it is only one program that can use sound at a time. I think It isn't taking full advantage of my sound card
[05:12] <gcostello> peeps_work: i meant antiword :-)
[05:12] <hermit> So I changed my apt.sources to gutsy, did a dist-upgrade, and now i want to roll it back to feisty somehow. I changed all my sources back to feisty and did an apt-get update and then tried a dist-upgrade but it still just sees everything as newest version. How can I make it go back to feisty packages?
[05:12] <arash> reallyjoel : 'gksudo nautilus' I think
[05:13] <SlimeyPete> reallyjoel: "gksu nautilus" should open a browser with root permissions
[05:13] <dgjones> hermit, i think you'll need to do a complete reinstall
[05:13] <peeps_work> gcostello, ok, i'll try that thanks
[05:13] <hermit> dgjones: poop
[05:13] <arash> reallyjoel: Just be careful
[05:13] <Jack_Sparrow> reallyjoel: It works... but use it very sparringly...  it is a very bloated app and running as root is dangerous
[05:13] <Kousotu> peeps_work: might want to search "doc"
[05:13] <warbler> arash: sounds (excuse the pun) like a driver issue  - what's the card & we'll google it for linux drivers?
[05:14] <reallyjoel> kk, thanks all
[05:14] <gcostello> peeps_work: I was joking, antiword will just strip out the text of the document
[05:14] <Jack_Sparrow> reallyjoel: You might want to look into thunar or pcman for lighter file managers
[05:14] <ScottishDuck> hey guys
[05:14] <arash> warbler _ Im not 100, but I think the card name is Realtek
[05:14] <peeps_work> gcostello, great
[05:15] <peeps_work> Kousotu, search what for doc?
