[12:34] <nickthorley> hunger: i appreciate that but it was either ndis or me not using ubuntu which would have been a shame so i thought it was a compromise worth having
[12:34] <J0K0> sorry for my english, i search squid info, i will light it !
[12:34] <babolat> GreamBell: www.red-pill.eu/freeunix.shtml
[12:34] <SliderMan> fde, its downloading. thanks.
[12:34] <gutsy_gorilla> bazhang, aha!! understood
[12:34] <GreamBell> babolat ok thank you
[12:35] <jazman> how do i compile i am new to linux to used of windows
[12:35] <fde> SliderMan: Yeah, needs { } rather than [ } though
[12:35] <charlie_> does it matter what size i make my partitions? should they be multiples of 1024 or anything?
[12:35] <hunger> nickthorley: Well, who reports kernel bugs anyway? ;-)
[12:35] <SliderMan> fde, it worked with those [] ..
[12:35] <SliderMan> fde, should i retype it?
[12:35] <N1N31NCHN41L5> ok /media.
[12:35] <babolat> charlie_: depends on what u use it for
[12:35] <ilsignorcarlo> Hi. I have a problem playng mp3s. In every player I'm trying to use, when I press play, they just don't start and sometimes the program crashes.
[12:36] <fde> charlie_: make / at least 5 gigs ... make swap at least 1 gig ... /home should be separate and whatever you think you'll need for your files.
[12:36] <nickthorley> hunger: well i would like to - i didnt want to use ndis but they failed to make it work automatically so i had to.
[12:36] <babolat> ilsignocarlo: u probably need codecs
[12:36] <fde> SliderMan: I have no idea what it'll be doing with [ ] ...
[12:36] <herbaliser> i have installed Xmblackberry when i start the application i'm getting XmBlackBerry.c:OptionPopupCallback(998) - GPRS modem device Not available
[12:36] <charlie_> kk, cool
[12:36] <kakoonia> Hi.. does anybody know a program to convert from ogg or other sort of files to mp3?
[12:36] <SliderMan> fde, lmao.
[12:36] <nickthorley> one question to everyone what would i need to do to switch off ndis temporarily to see if my wireless is fixed in updates?
[12:36] <charlie_> my swap is currently only 196MB, is that bad? what is it used for?
[12:37] <N1N31NCHN41L5> soooooo off - /media/Muppy008
[12:37] <kakoonia> Found!
[12:37] <babolat> !swap | charlie
[12:37] <kakoonia> yey
[12:37] <xintron> My cardreader wont work, what do I need to install to get it to work?
[12:37] <unop> N1N31NCHN41L5, address the person you are speaking to so they know -- try this.   sudo chown -Rv $USER:$USER /media/Muppy008
[12:38] <Gibby69> After updating to 8.04 (hardy) sign-in splash screen to large and nearly off the screen
[12:38] <unop> kakoonia, ffmpeg and mencoder
[12:38] <fde> SliderMan: Whoa, it tries to install a few too many packages then... you don't need dbg and doc packages though...
[12:38] <charlie_> swap is like a page file?
[12:38] <N1N31NCHN41L5> sorry unop
[12:38] <sap> .part
[12:38] <Starnestommy> charlie_: yes
[12:38] <unop> charlie_, right
[12:38] <SliderMan> fde, i canceled it with crtl +c and then apt-get autoremove
[12:38] <SliderMan> fde, now im trying the one with the {}
[12:39] <x1250> xintron: intelligent questions imply useful answers.
[12:39] <charlie_> how can i find info on setting up my tv tuner?
[12:39] <fde> unop: You have any idea what [foo,bar] does? why would it grab dbg and doc thigns via that regex?
[12:39] <kakoonia> unop : Thanks!
[12:39] <SliderMan> fde, still no sound .. :(
[12:40] <ilsignorcarlo> babolat: I have just tried reinstalling restricted-extras, but it says they are already installed and up to date
[12:40] <Dr_willis> MarcoPau,  Sobor?
[12:40] <fde> !medibuntu | SliderMan
[12:40] <fde> SliderMan: That repo has 'w32codecs' try that.
[12:40] <babolat> ilsignorcarlo: so u have mp3 codecs installed?
[12:40] <SliderMan> fde, it means that i cant use them?
[12:40] <unop> fde, afaik [foo,bar] is an invalid glob/regex .. to glob you need {foo,bar} which expands that into "foo bar" .. in a regex, you'd do something like [a-f] which matches a b c d e or f
[12:41] <ilsignorcarlo> babolat: yes, I have. Also, just some days ago I could play them
[12:41] <fde> SliderMan: Look at what ubottu told you.
[12:41] <SliderMan> fde, ok thanks.
[12:42] <fde> unop: try sudo apt-get -s install gstreamer0.10-plugins-[ugly,bad]  <-- note it's -s so will do nothing... it's very strange...
[12:42] <SliderMan> fde, but allso there is no download links Oo
[12:42] <SliderMan> (like duh)
[12:43] <fde> SliderMan: Click "repository howto"
[12:43] <unop> fde, errm, try these two commands and you'll see clearer perhaps.  echo gstreamer0.10-plugins-[ugly,bad]   and  echo gstreamer0.10-plugins-{ugly,bad}
[12:43] <babolat> ilsignorcarlo: might help if u reinstalled them
[12:43] <Gibby69> how can i alter resolution and position of the sign-in splash screen. 8.04 (hardy)
[12:43] <babolat> ilsignorcarlo: btw what player are u using?
[12:43] <unop> fde, only the latter does expansion, the former is a literal -- and apt-get is trying to install a package named "gstreamer0.10-plugins-[ugly,bad]"  which does not exist obviously
[12:44] <fde> unop: I did that... I understand why it's wrong... I just don't understand what apt is doing to result in what it results in... please try what I said... it will be a simulated run.
[12:44] <ilsignorcarlo> babolat: I'm trying with amarok and quodlibet
[12:44] <MarcoPau> Dr_willis: sober... light, easy
[12:44] <phuzion> How can I see what hard drives are on my system, even if they are not mounted?
[12:44] <forumdot> how can i add a custom resolution in xorg (using 8.04)
[12:44] <MarcoPau> Dr_willis: essential :)
[12:45] <babolat> ilsignorcarlo: do u have xine installed?
[12:45] <hunger> phuzion: Check the directory /dev for [sh]d[a-z][0-9].
[12:45] <SliderMan> unrar is supported here?
[12:45] <herbaliser> i have installed Xmblackberry when i start the application i'm getting XmBlackBerry.c:OptionPopupCallback(998) - GPRS modem device Not available
[12:46] <XDS2007> frogscott:  hi
[12:46] <unop> fde, eh, i see what you mean .. it selects quite a few packages - scary :) it must be a form of regex only apt understands, afaik, that does not represent any standard
[12:46] <fde> SliderMan: sure...
[12:46] <ilsignorcarlo> babolat: not sure
[12:46] <babolat> !rar | SliderMan
[12:46] <hunger> phuzion: The hda is the first ide device, sda the first SCSI on (or newer IDE/usb/SATA).
[12:46] <hunger> phuzion: The numbers are the partitions on that device.
[12:46] <SliderMan> fde, i got it and im trying to open a file which is password protected. i got the password and its says that the password is wrong!
[12:46] <babolat> ilsignorcarlo: could u check with synaptic? libxine-extracodecs coz its been known to cause this prob
[12:46] <frogscott> hi
[12:47] <fde> unop: It seems to equate to {foo,bar}*
[12:47] <phuzion> hunger, and if a drive that should normally be on my system doesn't show up?
[12:47] <XDS2007> frogscott:  you may also message me in private in the channel #PrivateCO
[12:47] <XDS2007> should you need further assistance with your issue
[12:47] <Dr_willis> SliderMan,  the rar for linux may not support all the features. winrar.exe DID work under wine last i tried it.
[12:47] <reverseblade> Hello  my wireless card stopped working and I cannot see it in lspci . This happened earlier as well and fixed by it self. IS this an hardware failure ?
[12:47] <fde> unop: Could be useful in the future if I want -dev or -dbg stuff, but weird.
[12:47] <unop> fde, errm, not really .. {foo,bar} is expanded by the shell before being passed on to apt
[12:47] <aspro> hey guys, I have a slightly broken mac osx install and I am trying to save files from it. The problem is that some of the folders don't allow viewing even to a 'sudo nautilus' session, is there a way to copy all the files in those directories given I can't get r/w to the partition?
[12:47] <hunger> phuzion: Then you need to find out whether it was moved around (shouldn't bother linux though) or has a defect.
[12:48] <SliderMan> Dr_willis wine (yuuuk)
[12:48] <phuzion> hunger, well, there's nothing listed as /dev/hd[a-z][0-9], so I'm concerned
[12:48] <phuzion> And my /dev/sda5 didn't automount last time I rebooted
[12:48] <Dr_willis> SliderMan,  then do without I guess.
[12:48] <fde> unop: yes... but it's also returning foo-multiverse, foo-doc, and foo-dbg etc...
[12:48] <Dr_willis> SliderMan,  'password protected rar files' - ICK!
[12:48] <Dr_willis> :P
[12:49] <SliderMan> Dr_willis thanks for the help anyways
[12:49] <ilsignorcarlo> babolat: well, I haven't that package on synaptic, but other libxine packages are installed. libxine1, libxine-bin, libxine-console...
[12:49] <SliderMan> Dr_willis, wha?
[12:49] <Ton1> hello there
[12:49] <Dr_willis> SliderMan,  theres been many cases where people have rar archives with such new features. they have to use winrar.exe instead of the command line rar tools in linux.
[12:49] <Ton1> i've got a problem, could anybody help me?
[12:49] <babolat> ilsignorcarlo: try deleting .xine from ur Home folder
[12:49] <babolat> !ask | Ton1
[12:49] <hunger> phuzion: Nothing under sd* either?
[12:49] <Ton1> ^
[12:50] <phuzion> hunger, no, my /dev/sda5 mounted properly after I forced it to
[12:50] <Dr_willis> SliderMan,  every time i see an rar archive - it always seems tobe some split up multi part rar that turns into a .zip that then contains a .iso.... :) go figure.
[12:50] <Starnestommy> Ton1: what is your question?
[12:50] <hunger> phuzion: Modern devices turn up as sd*.
[12:50] <plantain> How can I mount a remote smb/cifs share read/write through GNOME? (Ideally _without_ using the commandline?)
[12:50] <unop> fde, right, i think i understand kinda how .. it's the same as this regex "gstreamer0.10-plugins-[ugly|bad].*" except that you can use a , instead of | to seperate tokens
[12:50] <phuzion> (Windows didn't properly unmount the volume last time)
[12:50] <SliderMan> Dr_willis, when you try to install unrar its works with the archive manager.
[12:50] <Ton1> okay. my IDE-harddiskdrive isn't known by ubuntu
[12:50] <Dr_willis> SliderMan,  and unrar may not have all the features that winrar.exe has.
[12:51] <phuzion> I have 3 physical hard drives, 2 PATA and 1 SATA.  /dev/sda5 is my Linux partition and /dev/sda5.
[12:51] <babolat> Ton1: what filesys is it?
[12:51] <SliderMan> Dr_willis thanks.
[12:51] <phuzion> Ton1, perform this command in terminal: "ls /dev | grep hd"
[12:51] <Ton1> bablat, does it matter?
[12:51] <Dr_willis> SliderMan,  at least with wine and winrar, you can delete the .wine dir every 30 days to get rid of the 'register this' nag screen. :)
[12:51] <hunger> Ton1: Maybe it is visible as sd*? Newer IDE stuff tends to show up under what used to be SCSI.
[12:51] <Ton1> i tried this: ls /dev/hd*
[12:51] <Ton1> ls: Zugriff auf /dev/hd* nicht möglich: No such file or directory
[12:52] <Starnestommy> Ton1: what about ls /dev/sd*?
[12:52] <SliderMan> Dr_willis or just download a carck
[12:52] <Ton1> not visible as sd
[12:52] <SliderMan> lmao.
[12:52] <phuzion> Ton1, wildcards don't work that way.  Try the command I showed
[12:52] <Dr_willis> SliderMan,  :)   then ya will need a virus checker for your wine!
[12:52] <ilsignorcarlo> babolat: I removed .xine, but still they don't play
[12:52] <SliderMan> Dr_willis HAHA =)
[12:52] <Ton1> phuzion, okay, 1 moment
[12:52] <phuzion> Wow, I'm actually retarded, Ton1.  Nevermind.
[12:53] <babolat> ilsignorcarlo: amarok needs to be NOT open when u delete it
[12:53] <phuzion> I was not aware you could use wildcards in ls
[12:53] <phuzion> mind = blown
[12:53] <s0enke> hi guys, with hardy suspend on my inspiron 1721 started working. but after waking up 2 of the 4 usb ports are not working anymore. furthermore the system hangs at shutdown and hibernate doesn't work.  any idea oder hints where to start searching?
[12:53] <danbhfive> Ton1: try pastebin this command: ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid/
[12:53] <SliderMan> ubuntu dosent support my chipset where can i get drivers for P4MAM-V ?
[12:53] <SliderMan> (MSI)
[12:53] <Ton1> phuzion: ls /dev | grep hd
[12:53] <Ton1> watchdog
[12:54] <Ton1> watchdog?? ^^
[12:54] <Saint`Dia> Ok,  my videos have a blue screen over it, I can move the video around it, but it does'nt go away, PLEASE, how is this happening.
[12:54] <phuzion> Ton1, thats essentially the same thing as what you performed with "ls /dev/hd*"
[12:54] <phuzion> I'm just used to piping to grep
[12:54] <Ton1> phuzion, but what shall i do?
[12:54] <hunger> Ton1: Try "ls /dev/[hs]d*". That gets both old-style IDE devices and new style hdd devices which all get listed as SCSI.
[12:54] <bobbo> which package do you install to get the Firefox Java plugin?
[12:55] <jimcooncat> how well does pastebinit work?
[12:55] <danbhfive> !paste > jimcooncat I think this pm should tell you
[12:55] <anoble> can someone help me w/ Screen Resolution Settings? I change the xorg.conf files so it can go about 800x600 and then it works, then i restart and it no longer works and goes back to 800x600
[12:56] <stefg> Saint`Dia: disable desktop effects and try again
[12:56] <thecage> what gfx card are you using anoble?
[12:56] <Ton1> hunger, well on "ls /dev/hd*" doesnt appear the hdd i want to see
[12:57] <jimcooncat> thanks danbhfive, I meant the command-line client
[12:57] <anoble> thecage: its a legacy one i think
[12:57] <legend2440> Saint`Dia: which player?
[12:57] <thecage> nvidia?
[12:57] <danbhfive> jimcooncat: hehe, ok, thought it was a typo
[12:57] <docteur2005> salut
[12:57] <anoble> thecage: yes
[12:57] <hunger> Ton1: That is why I asked you to list both hd* and sd*.
[12:57] <chazco> Hi... how can I format a 4GB SDHC card on Ubuntu? Needs to be in FAT for use in a PDA
[12:57] <SliderMan> ubuntu dosent support my chipset, where can i get drivers for MSI - P4MAM-V ?
[12:58] <basvg> hi all ... I just plugged in my old logitech webcam... what's the easiest way of making it work ?
[12:58] <danbhfive> Ton1: using the command I gave, it will list all your harddrives
[12:58] <stefg> chazco: mkfs -t vfat /dev/<yourdevice>
[12:58] <alza> hi
[12:58] <Ton1> hunger, how i get access to, for example, /dev/sda ?
[12:58] <harris> helloOOOOO! What is the shorcut key to change different desktop?
[12:58] <phuzion> basvg, depends on your definition of "making it work".  If you mean "drawing power from your computer" then, right now, it does work.
[12:59] <Saint`Dia> Is there not a solution without getting rid of the whole reason I use linux?
[12:59] <thecage> Sorry about the 101 questions, but, which Ubuntu are you using, and have you installed the proprietary drivers?
[12:59] <legend2440> Saint`Dia: which player?
[12:59] <basvg> phuzion: *lol* I'd like to use it with e.g. amsn... in the docs I only find stuff about easycam2
[12:59] <hunger> Ton1: sda is the complete disk. Better try to access the partitions on it (sda1, sda2, etc.).
[12:59] <chazco> stefg - Will that do a full format... its currently formatted by Ubuntu struggles to write to it
[12:59] <ilsignorcarlo> babolat: it was closed when I deleted it, but nothing
[12:59] <Saint`Dia> legend2440: All players.
[12:59] <harris> helloOOOOO! What is the shorcut key to change different desktop?
[12:59] <phuzion> harris, Control+Alt+[Left/Right] works for me.  Not sure about users without Compiz though
[12:59] <anoble> thecage: the graphics card was "not in use"
[12:59] <phuzion> and harris, please don't repeat your question repeatedly.
[12:59] <anoble> thecage: im using HH
[12:59] <Starnestommy> harris: ctrl+alt+left, ctrl+alt+right, or ctrl+alt+down
[12:59] <harris> thnxx phuzion
[12:59] <Saint`Dia> Control+alt left and right for compiz, or control+alt mouse 1
[12:59] <stefg> chazco: it needs to be unmountes, and you need to have superuser priv's. so put a sudo in front
[13:00] <legend2440> Saint`Dia: have you tried using a different driver?
[13:00] <Ton1> hunger, shall i list all "sd"s my Terminal has found? ^^
[13:00] <phuzion> harris, no problem
[13:00] <poopuse1> harris: 'windows' + e
[13:00] <chazco> stefg - Okay, will give it a try... not sure if its a Ubuntu issue, a card issue, the HC causing issues.  Did you see is as "Not Enabled" but still with a tick in the box?
[13:00] <hunger> Ton1: So there are sd*? GReat, you found your drive(s);-)
[13:00] <Saint`Dia> legend2440: I have Mplayer Xine IceApe and Gstreamer, It does'nt even play on anything but Xine, and it's all blue, and it happened suddenly.
[13:00] <SliderMan> thecage, were you talking to me?
[13:00] <Ton1> yes, lol ^
[13:00] <harris> wooow... that windows + e ROCKS
[13:01] <anoble> thecage: no its enabled just restrting now
[13:01] <poopuse1> ^
[13:01] <thecage> sliderman: no I was talking to anoble
[13:01] <Ton1> hunger, now i have to find that hdd im search for
[13:01] <hunger> Ton1: You should have the partitions visible in /media...
[13:01] <Ton1> ok
[13:02] <basvg> hmmm, looks like easycam2 is the way to go
[13:02] <hunger> If that is not the case you can do "fdisk -l" in the command line to list the partition tables. That gives some hints which drive is which.
[13:02] <legend2440> Saint`Dia: open mplayer right click>preferences>video which driver is selected?
[13:02] <SliderMan> thacage, ok
[13:02] <hunger> Then you can mount the individual partitions manually ("mount /dev/sdXY /some/existing/dir").
[13:02] <Ton1> hunger, you mean "sudo fdisk -l"
[13:03] <thecage> it may still say not enabled after the restart - just brace yourself for disappointment - it has happened to me on a few occasions with hardy! :-(
[13:03] <hunger> Ton1: You might need to give the filesystem though ("-t fs" after the mount).
[13:03] <basvg> bweh, doesn't pick up my cam... oh well... tough luck
[13:03] <Saint`Dia> legend2440: I use KMplayer KAffiene Amarok and the basics that came with it. Which Mplayer
[13:03] <alza> hi iam upgrade from gutsy to hardy... but now i cannot make compiz
[13:03] <Saint`Dia> legend2440: Totem?
[13:03] <hunger> Ton1: Aehm... yeah. I don't hold with that sudo bullshit ubuntu insists on doing;-)
[13:03] <Ton1> ^^
[13:04] <Ton1> hunger, there are already files on this hdd and i dont want to format this
[13:04] <legend2440> Saint`Dia: try kmplayer
[13:04] <hunger> Ton1: Then do not enter any command that starts with "mkfs" ;-)
[13:04] <hunger> Ton1: Aehm... "sudo mkfs"
[13:04] <Ton1> hunger, i notice this ^
[13:05] <Saint`Dia> legend2440: That's what I'm seeing the blue screen on, that's what I've been explaining this whole time.
[13:05] <vanush> why is unix putting crazy quesiton marks at the end of my filenames?!!?!?1
[13:05] <Starnestommy> vanush: because the filenames may contain non-ascii characters
[13:05] <Ton1> hunger, okay. on fdisk -l there appears only my both SATA-hdds, but not my IDE-hdd
[13:05] <stefg> vanush: wrong
[13:06] <stefg> vanush: wrong locale
[13:06] <rajeev> hello
[13:06] <fde> vanush: an example filename
[13:06] <legend2440> Saint`Dia: yea i know. i'm saying try different drivers such as gl xv xii etc to see if one of them works
[13:06] <fde> vanush: please (sorry, I hit enter too fast)
[13:06] <alza> zak
[13:07] <hunger> Ton1: Hmmm... then maybe the IDE controller was not recognized.
[13:07] <hunger> Ton1: I guess you are booting from SATA?
[13:07] <Saint`Dia> legend2440: WTF, It's fixed, I guess. It is'nt doing it anymore. Weird.
[13:07] <Ton1> Hunger, BUT ...
[13:07] <Saint`Dia> BIG weight off my chest.
[13:07] <Saint`Dia> AFK till my next problem.
[13:08] <Ton1> Hunger ,... my dvd-burner is a ide-device too and when i put in a cd it works
[13:08] <stefg> Ton1: try sudo modprobe ata_piix
[13:08] <rajeev> hello
[13:08] <hunger> Ton1: Oh, great:-(
[13:09] <rajeev> can u suggest me, can i install ubuntu 7.10 on intel original 845 GVAD2 board for graphical session
[13:09] <Ton1>  sudo modprobe ata_piix
[13:09] <Ton1> <nothing happens, next Eingabeaufforderung>
[13:10] <Saint`Dia> Is there an "arggh" channel on this server?
[13:10] <Ton1> (@hunger)
[13:10] <SliderMan> ubuntu dosent support my chipset, where can i get drivers for MSI - P4MAM-V ? / or for my ProSavageDDR?
[13:10] <hunger> Ton1: Well, if the DVD works (and is on the same controller) then the HDD should, too.
[13:10] <j0be> Saint`Dia: you can make one :)
[13:11] <exco> What am I doing wrong?
[13:11] <exco> # ifconfig usb0 <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> broadcast <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:11] <exco> SIOCSIFADDR: No such device

[13:11] <Starnestommy> exco: usb0 does not exist
[13:11] <Saint`Dia> j0be: Looking for a movie, that I want in hi-def.
[13:11] <j0be> exco: usb0 does not exist
[13:11] <Ton1> hunger, okay. maybe i should try to access sdc? (it appears on ls /dev/sd*)
[13:11] <hunger> Ton1: You might try "sudo modprobe ide-disk".
[13:11] <exco> so how do I create it?
[13:12] <exco> usbnet is running
[13:12] <selecta_g> Hello :) I have a question about 32 bit Firefox running in 64 bit Ubuntu 8.04 if I may?
[13:12] <stefg> Saint`Dia: you are not asking your question in a smart way, that's because you get little help. Having details on hardware, ubuntu-version and configurations would surely help
[13:12] <hunger> Ton1: There is a sdc? I thought you only saw the two SATA disks.
[13:12] <Tuju> where you can see ubuntu's version?
[13:12] <Starnestommy> selecta_g: just ask your question
[13:12] <rdw> hi folks. what about java 6 support for amd64?
[13:12] <Starnestommy> Tuju: lsb_release -a
[13:12] <Ton1> hunger, "sudo modprobe ide-disk" nothing happens
[13:12] <Saint`Dia> stefg: I'm asking about pirate channels, Incognito, geeze.

[13:13] <Ton1> hunger, sdc,sdd,sde and sdf but i guess this are my Card-slots :P
[13:13] <hunger> bazhang: Huch? What did I say?
[13:13] <MartinCz> Hi. What is the difference between apt-get and aptitude?
[13:13] <selecta_g> i upgraded to 8.04 and now Firefox32 will not connect to the internet ("Problem Loading Page")... The 64 bit Firefox still works OK and I cannot for the life of me figure it out
[13:13] <Tuju> no such command
[13:13] <Saint`Dia> aptitude is the front end I think.
[13:13] <Tuju> no such command ls_release -a
[13:13] <gnomefreak> MartinCz: aptitude is smarter
[13:13] <Starnestommy> MartinCz: aptitude has a few more commands and it has a better interactive interface
[13:13] <jrib> Tuju: you typed it wrong.  it's "lsb_..."
[13:14] <rdw> what about java 6 support for amd64?
[13:14] <MartinCz> How do I search for a package in aptitude?
[13:14] <Tuju> no such command lsb_release -a
[13:14] <jrib> !java > rdw (read the private message from ubotu)
[13:14] <pac1> !o4o
[13:14] <Starnestommy> MartinCz: aptitude search packagename
[13:14] <hunger> Ton1: Still no /dev/hd* after the modprobe?
[13:14] <exco> yesterday I just ran
[13:14] <exco> 	- modprobe usbnet
[13:14] <exco> 	- ifconfig usb0 <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> broadcast <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:14] <exco> 	- iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -s <IP_ADDRESS>/32 -j MASQUERADE
[13:14] <Tuju> ah, he heard me wrong over phone....
[13:14] <FloodBot1> exco: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:14] <Saint`Dia> MartinCz: Tried clicking "search" or just start typing it'll start searching.
[13:14] <rdw> ok
[13:14] <exco> and it was good... today...
[13:14] <bazhang> MartinCz: aptitude search
[13:14] <jrib> exco: stop pasting in the channel, read what ubottu has told you
[13:15] <XDS2007> Whats the deal with error 13 in ubuntu ?
[13:15] <Saint`Dia> exco: The bot is going to close down on you, watch it.
[13:15] <Starnestommy> XDS2007: grub error 13?
[13:15] <XDS2007> when trying sudo apt-get install *
[13:15] <bazhang> XDS2007: please specify
[13:15] <fde> XDS2007: For GRUB?
[13:15] <RabidWeezle> mmm grubs
[13:15] <jrib> !aptitude > MartinCz (read the private message from ubotu)
[13:15] <stefg> XDS2007: that's right after error 12 and before error 14 B)
[13:15] <XDS2007> "sudo apt-get install "packagename"
[13:15] <gnomefreak> MartinCz: aptitude search packagename
[13:15] <Tuju> thanks guys.
[13:15] <Ton1> hunger, is modprobe a right command of ubuntu ? there is nothing happening when i enter that command
[13:16] <Starnestommy> Ton1: it outputs nothing if it works
[13:16] <XDS2007> im trying to help a kid on the other side of the world guys , some tact would be helpful
[13:16] <bazhang> ton1 modprobe what
[13:16] <hunger> Ton1: modprobe does not produce much output:-)
[13:16] <XDS2007> Does a user need to be logged in as root ?
[13:16] <Ton1> hunger, aaah, okay ^
[13:16] <stefg> !doesn't work | XDS2007
[13:16] <jrib> XDS2007: no
[13:16] <XDS2007> in order to use apt ?
[13:16] <Starnestommy> XDS2007: no, but the command must be prefixed with "sudo"
[13:16] <hunger> Ton1: Try "lsmod" for a list of installed modules. If modprobe did not complain then the newly loaded modules should be in the list there.
[13:16] <Dr_willis> XDS2007,  sudo apt-get whatever whatever
[13:16] <XDS2007> fail
[13:17] <Carbonflux> has anyone ever imported outlook express email messages into Evolution ?
[13:17] <XDS2007> Dr_willis: fail
[13:17] <XDS2007> error 13
[13:17] <gnomefreak> MartinCz: aptitude and apt-get when searching are the same its when you have depends and broken packages is when its "smarter" but alot of work has gone into apt-get to make it do some things that aptitude does
[13:17] <jrib> XDS2007: "fail" is unhelpful.  Pastebin the actual error
[13:17] <mario1978> hello! i have a problem with my webcam and amsn! the picture is only black but in ekigo it is normaly :
[13:17] <XDS2007> "are you logged in as root"
[13:17] <Dr_willis> XDS2007,  I think you need to be asking a better questiion then.
[13:17] <stefg> Carbonflux: that's a pita and usually involes thunderbird on win and linux
[13:17] <Ton1> hunger, on fdisk -l there are only the two s-ata-devices still.
[13:17] <bazhang> XDS2007: we need tons more info as to what went wrong that is very non-descriptive
[13:17] <XDS2007> me too ;)
[13:17] <exco> sorry, jrib, I can't find what ubottu has told me
[13:17] <fde> XDS2007: You should direct them at this channel if they're using Ubuntu.
[13:17] <Starnestommy> XDS2007: was the command prefixed with sudo?
[13:17] <Dr_willis> XDS2007,  sudo apt-get install cowsay
[13:17] <Dr_willis> :)
[13:17] <jrib> exco: use paste.ubuntu.com to paste things, don't paste in the channel
[13:17] <frogscott> hi
[13:17] <XDS2007> SS yes
[13:17] <fserve> gnomefreak, aptitude when searching you can know if u have the packaged installed or just downloaded
[13:17] <exco> ok.
[13:18] <hunger> Ton1: Hmmm. Are you sure your IDE HD is still in good working order? I only ever saw something like you got with a dead drive.
[13:18] <exco> so how do I create usb0 (or what causes creation?)
[13:18] <Carbonflux> stefg, so I import them into TB on windows and the move then to linux and export them from TB in linux ?
[13:18] <Dr_willis> XDS2007,  one normally 'updates'  with 'sudo apt-get update' and then 'sudo apt-get upgrade'  befor installing new stuff also.
[13:18] <gnomefreak> fserve: yes i know but not really a big differnece in IMO
[13:18] <fserve> : )
[13:18] <mario1978> hello! i have a problem with my webcam and amsn! the picture is only black but in ekigo it is normaly :
[13:18] <fserve> but it makes me use aptitude.
[13:18] <stefg> Carbonflux: yes, basically....  the complex part is the address book
[13:18] <musa> i'm having trouble connecting to NET using HUAWEI E220 3G modem on ubuntu 8.04, it was working fine on feisty.
[13:19] <hunger> Ton1: That is assuming that the IDE controller is recognized and works, but with DVD on the same controller that seems likely:-)
[13:19] <Ton1> hunger, ^^ i think some part of this ide-hdd is encrypted with "TrueCrypt" on my Windows-hdd
[13:19] <Carbonflux> stefg, thats the easy part in a way, I don't see any way to import TB email into evolution tho :(
[13:19] <RabidWeezle> musa did you try waxing the modem?
[13:19] <gnomefreak> fserve: i use apititude most of the time when dealing with non development versions
[13:19] <frogscott> what is channel name for crossover?
[13:19] <Starnestommy> frogscott: #crossover
[13:19] <musa> Rabid: waxing ??
[13:19] <hunger> Ton1: That does not matter. The drive should be visible, even if you encrypted everything incl. the partition table.
[13:20] <stefg> Carbonflux: thy both use mbox, so you can pont evo directly to TB's files
[13:20] <Carbonflux> stefg, thanks for the information tho :)
[13:20] <gnomefreak> that would be the one
[13:20] <exco> Thing is... I have a Smartphone plugged in using usb, I'd like to ssh into that box... but today I have no usb0 all of a sudden...
[13:20] <Ton1> hunger, i try 1 DVD
[13:20]  * gnomefreak goes back to work
[13:20] <Carbonflux> stefg, ya I have does that for a few important things but for a massive inbox its kind of night mare ;)
[13:20] <Carbonflux> done that*
[13:20] <hunger> Ton1: Is that DVD on the same controller?
[13:20] <stefg> Carbonflux: as i promised: a pita
[13:21] <hunger> Ton1: Does the HD spin (does it make noise)?
[13:21] <Ton1> same cable. i dont know whether its the same controller
[13:21] <bardyr> Hey, i have mounted a software raid on the hardy live cd (mdadm), is it possible to install hardy on it with the live cd?
[13:21] <XDS2007> frogscott:  #crossover
[13:21] <BTaylor> Hi. I wanna install Ubuntu on my macbook, but Boot Camp has a serious bug which causes a kernel panic when you try to partition your drive. Is it safe to partition my HFS partition with the included partition manager?
[13:21] <Carbonflux> ya, I have found the whole email situation on all platforms really bad stefg, I think the focus is on mobile devices or something
[13:21] <pac1> Ton1 one cable, one controller.
[13:21] <selecta_g> Can anyone offer advice re: Firefox32 not working in 8.04 (it worked before i upgraded). Now, 32 bit Firefox says "Problem Loading Page". 64 bit Firefox works fine
[13:21] <mario1978> hello! i have a problem with my webcam and amsn! the picture is only black but in ekigo it is normaly :
[13:21] <hunger> Ton1: Does the DVD still work if you put it in place of the HD? Are master/slave set up correctly on both DVD and HDD?
[13:21] <Ton1> pac1, then 1 controller
[13:21] <stefg> bardyr: possible, but i'd rather use the alternate CD
[13:22] <bazhang> BTaylor: if you are single booting ubuntu yes; dual booting may be a risk though
[13:22] <unlink> how do you configure at what time of day anacron is run?
[13:22] <rdw> jrib: i am told sun-java6-jre is the latest version
[13:22] <Ton1> hunger, i try to look for the hdd and it's noise, mom ....
[13:22] <BTaylor> Well Ubuntu has worked on this machine before, but that was when boot camp would let me partition. Is the partitioning app non-destructive?
[13:22] <jrib> rdw: isn't that what you wanted?
[13:22] <SliderMan> how do i clean the swap par`?
[13:22] <bardyr> stefg: yea me 2, but that is not possible atm
[13:23] <pac1> Ton1, what are you trying to do? (I got here late.)
[13:23] <Saint`Dia> I'm wondering what the name of the app is, that you see all the ubuntu vs. windows vids with the icons that move around and all that? Anyone know what I'm talking about?
[13:23] <hunger> Ton1: My guess is a hw problem then.
[13:23] <rdw> when i run java --version i get Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.4.2-02)
[13:23] <hunger> Ton1: Does it work using another OS?
[13:23] <jrib> !multijava | rdw
[13:23] <exco> Saint`Dia: cairo dock and the likes?
[13:23] <Ton1> pac1, i try to get access to my ide-hdd on ubuntu
[13:23] <Ton1> hunger, on windows, it works
[13:23] <bazhang> BTaylor: you should look into refit; but that is an apple issue; while gparted *can* work, if you want to dual boot you are taking a risk with that method
[13:24] <Saint`Dia> exco: I want some desktop icon effects, to that degree.
[13:24] <stefg> bardyr: you have to mount the array to /target and and pit possible sub mounting points in place there. the you have to trick the installer into thinking he has done his partitioning
[13:24] <hunger> Ton1: Hmmm... I am running out of ideas then:-(
[13:24] <Ton1> ^^
[13:24] <rdw> sweet
[13:24] <rdw> thansk
[13:24] <BTaylor> bazhang: I actually have refit installed
[13:24] <exco> Saint`Dia: I know of Cairo Dock (use it myself) and Kiba Dock...
[13:24] <Ton1> hunger, should i try to reinstall the controller?
[13:25] <Saint`Dia> exco: Is it impressive, I'm all about looks.
[13:25] <bardyr> stefg: hmm, okay. is there anyway i can install the alternative installer?
[13:25] <pac1> ton1, are you using a ide card for this?
[13:25] <hunger> Ton1: Will probably not help with linux:-|
[13:25] <exco> Saint`Dia: that's a shame, isn't it?
[13:26] <Ton1> pac1, this ide-controller is on my motherboard
[13:26] <stefg> bardyr: won't help much, because the Desktop CD doesn't have separate packages (as the alternat has) but just a filesystem image.
[13:26] <pac1> Ton1, then you can't reinstall the controller.  The controller is one of the chips on the motherboard.
[13:26] <Ton1> pac1, and the dvd-burner on the same controller works well
[13:26] <XDS2007> how does one update ubuntu repos via command line ?
[13:27] <Starnestommy> XDS2007: sudo apt-get update
[13:27] <Ton1> pac1, okay ^
[13:27] <pac1> have you checked that the ide drive is set to "cable select"
[13:27] <BTaylor> Hmm, apparently the kernel panic issue is due to fragmentation...Is there an app that will let me defragment my HFS partition from within ubuntu?
[13:27] <Ton1> hunger, but thank you for helping
[13:27] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook BTaylor
[13:27] <Ton1> no, i think my hdd is jumpered as master
[13:28] <Ton1> (@pac1)
[13:28] <hunger> Ton1: Sorry that we were not more successful. Check master/slave settings on the drive again, maybe that helps...
[13:28] <stefg> bardyr: if you have no way of using alternate or a minimal CD for a netinstall. it'sprobably easiest to install to a non-raid space, set the array later and move the system over then
[13:28] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=539692 and problems with that BTaylor
[13:28] <fde> Ton1: I can't find your actual question... but libata (thus /dev/sd*) is used for both ATA and IDE hard drives
[13:28] <XDS2007> "unable to unlock the list directory"
[13:28] <ChaosTheory_> Dear god, Opera *and* Firefox are incredibly glitchy (on my computer).
[13:28] <XDS2007> via update <
[13:28] <ChaosTheory_> Is there something much simpler that has Flash?
[13:28] <Ton1> hunger, maybe pac1 has the main idea
[13:28] <gapagos> hey i have a 37:55min video I need to host online for my friends to watch, I wanted to upload it on GoogleVideo but it seems not to accept .m4v files (the video encoding in iMovie!!) can anyone help me?  (I'm on Ubuntu right now)
[13:29] <XDS2007> :)
[13:29] <XDS2007> whats the deal ?
[13:29] <Ton1> fde, how do i use libata?
[13:29] <fde> ChaosTheory_: It is not the browser, Adobe products simply are buggy on Linux, and there is nothing we can do other than bother them, and create our own alternatives.
[13:29] <bardyr> stefg: i don't have any free cd's and need to install this today :/
[13:29] <XDS2007> unable to unlock ?
[13:29] <Baby_Shambl3s> hi is there a good a good antivirus out there for linux (excl. avast & clamav)
[13:29] <bazhang> XDS2007: close add/remove or synaptic and try again
[13:29] <fde> Ton1: You don't... heh... the kernel does.
[13:29] <bardyr> Baby_Shambl3s: you dont need a anti virus
[13:29] <airtonarantes> Hello folks, I've just installed the newer ubuntu over fedora, and the settings such as firefox's bookmarks, wallpapers and even my files in my old desktop. how is possible???? how is called that resource ????

[13:30] <Ton1> pac1, how should i try my jumper-configuration on my dvd-burner and my ide-hdd on the same controller?
[13:30] <freakabcd> what the heck is this ~/.gvfs ?
[13:30] <amikrop> Hello. I deleted the bottom panel, and I re-created it with Add Panel. But now when I minimize my applications they don't appear minimized on the bottom new panel, and I think they terminate.
[13:30] <freakabcd> it shows ???? ????? in ls -l ~/
[13:30] <amikrop> Any help with this, please?
[13:30] <fde> Ton1: your IDE hard drive (if you have 2 SATA drives) should be /dev/sdc*
[13:30] <fserve> amikrop, you need add something
[13:30] <bazhang> extranoob_help_n: please state your issue with some more info thanks
[13:30] <XDS2007> bazhang:  synaptic update && synaptic install "appname" ?
[13:30] <Baby_Shambl3s> bardyr: yes i do for my win machines
[13:30] <Ton1> fde, okayyy ^^
[13:30] <amikrop> fserve: what?
[13:30] <fserve> amikrop, i dont remember the name, task...
[13:30] <gapagos> hey i have a 37:55min video I need to host online for my friends to watch, I wanted to upload it on GoogleVideo but it seems not to accept .m4v files (the video encoding in iMovie!!) can anyone help me?  (I'm on Ubuntu right now)
[13:31] <freakabcd> also df gives an error about some stupid 'gvfs endpoint not ready' or some bullshit like that
[13:31] <stefg> bardyr: so make a temporary 3-5 GB partition and install the Desktop CD to that. once that's done prepare the array, copy everything over, adjust fstab and grub..
[13:31] <Ton1> pac1, are you still alive?
[13:31] <bazhang> XDS2007: no; sudo aptitude update and sudo aptitude upgrade
[13:31] <bazhang> !language | freakabcd
[13:31] <fde> gapagos: ffmpeg can encode it as another codec
[13:31] <freakabcd> sorry, just got frustrated there
[13:31] <XDS2007> blah bazhang one app at a time ;)
[13:31] <bardyr> Baby_Shambl3s: then clamav is good, there is a frontend too
[13:31] <fserve> amikrop, mine is in portuguese :( you need add window selector
[13:31] <xet7> Baby_Shambl4s: There is avast home version for linux at www.avast.com
[13:32] <bardyr> stefg: okay, thanks
[13:32] <extranoob_help_n> i instaled xserver-xgl, allso instaled compiz-settings manager emerald fusion icon added allso envyng and enabled ati drivers but i got in best case poor gl support
[13:32] <amikrop> fserve: I think I found it. It is called "Window List".
[13:32] <fserve> amikrop, or something like this to work
[13:32] <amikrop> fserve: So, thanks.
[13:32] <fserve> amikrop, yeah!
[13:32] <Baby_Shambl3s> bardyr: inst here something better or is that the best available for linux
[13:32] <fserve> : )
[13:32] <bazhang> extranoob_help_n: you need to reboot first
[13:32] <extranoob_help_n> efect are mixed in manner that some work fine some work bad
[13:32] <gapagos> fde can you tell me how to encode it with which command line, and which codec should I use to preserve as much quality as possible (while not inflating the video size too much since it's already 735 MB))
[13:32] <Ton1> fde, how i should jumper my ide-devices?
[13:32] <Saint`Dia> Anyone know of a native Ubuntu proggy to have dock icons that are animated and all that? I like to stay in aptitude if I can.
[13:32] <bjwebb> hi
[13:32] <extranoob_help_n> i reboted seted up i got effects but issue is i have bad behave in system
[13:32] <bjwebb> in aptitude show
[13:33] <bazhang> Saint`Dia: awn avant-window-navigator
[13:33] <bjwebb> *aptitude search
[13:33] <jkp> hi all, im trying to set up my server to mail my personal email address when it tries to deliver local mail to root
[13:33] <bjwebb> i is installed, p is not installed, v is virtual, what exactly is c?
[13:33] <exco> so ... pretty please ... how do I create the interface usb0
[13:33] <bardyr> Baby_Shambl3s: yea, linux people dont have the big need for antivrus so we dont focus so much on them
[13:33] <bazhang> extranoob_help_n: try disabling some of the effects first
[13:33] <jkp> how do i configure the server it uses to relay this mail?  it seems to have the address of my old mail server stuck
[13:33] <Ton1> fde? pac1?
[13:33] <extranoob_help_n> im already on minimal effects
[13:33] <jkp> i dont have an /etc/mail folder
[13:34] <extranoob_help_n> like basic with ubuntu 8.04
[13:34] <pac1> Ton1, I usually let the cable select sort things out.  Generally, it doesn't matter which drive is master and which is slave.  That's old terminolgy and no longer really says what's really going on.
[13:34] <gapagos> fde can you tell me how to encode it with which command line, and which codec should I use to preserve as much quality as possible (while not inflating the video size too much since it's already 735 MB))
[13:34] <bazhang> extranoob_help_n: bad behave in system is not enough info
[13:34] <fde> gapagos: ffmpeg -i whatever.m4v --vcodec mp4 whatever.mp4 should work and be a format suitable for youtube
[13:34] <hunger> unlink: Check /etc/crontab.
[13:34] <SliderMan> well cya all.
[13:34] <SliderMan> thanks for everything.
[13:34] <Ton1> pac1, so i can jumper both devices as cableselect ?
[13:34] <gapagos> fde thank you :-)
[13:34] <fde> Ton1: however you want  :/
[13:35] <extranoob_help_n> ok like this i used envy drivers manager to install graphic card, in hardvare devices is enabled and in use
[13:35] <extranoob_help_n> catalist control for it not working
[13:35] <kelvin911> hi guys good morning
[13:35] <Baby_Shambl3s> bardyr: yeah true but still i would like to have one for the other machines and partitions
[13:35] <pac1> ton1, better terms are drive 0 and drive 1.  It does not matter which is which you can boot from either one.  But you do have to tell the controller which is which.  They both can't be 0.  They both can't be 1.
[13:35] <Myrtti> !envy
[13:36] <Baby_Shambl3s> can someoen suggest a good firewall for hardy (excl. Firestarter which i could never setup)?
[13:36] <stefg> !antivirus | Baby_Shambl3s
[13:36] <pac1> ton1, There's two ways to tell the controller.  1. Cable select, 2. set "master" on one and "slave" on the other using jumpers
[13:36] <bazhang> extranoob_help_n: try disabling effects completely first; see if there are other issues as you have eliminated that one
[13:36] <fde> gapagos: ffmpeg -i whatever.m4v -f mp4 --vcodec mp4 whatever.mp4 actually... sorry (note the -f mp4)
[13:36] <extranoob_help_n> hmm disable as untick all posible options or uninstal compiz?
[13:36] <Ton1> pac1, fde: when i boot my PC,the bios appears and shows me, that it has detected the ide-hdd and the ide-dvd.burner
[13:37] <fde> gapagos: ffmpeg -i whatever.m4v -f mp4 --vcodec divx whatever.mp4 actually... sorry

[13:40] <Ton1> pac1, wait
[13:40] <bazhang> extranoob_help_n: please visit #compiz-fusion and let them know precisely your issues and what you got when disabling compiz and what is wrong when you have it enabled
[13:40] <gapagos> fde lol ok.... not divx? isn't that better compression/quality than mp4?
[13:40] <extranoob_help_n> i will, tnx on info and help
[13:40] <Ton1> pac1, whats df?
[13:41] <fde> gapagos: Have to consider what will work with YouTube though... if divx will, that's fine.
[13:41] <tomoyuki28jp> In order to make the background of my desktop just black, do I have to have a black wallpaper? Or are there others ways to make it black without having a black wallpaper??
[13:41] <pac1> are you in linux?
[13:41] <Ton1> ubuntu linux, yes
[13:41] <trident523> tomoyuki28jp: You can set it to a solid colour, that is black.
[13:41] <gapagos> fde well if divx is better quality id like to try divx first
[13:41] <tomoyuki28jp> trident523: How can I do that??
[13:41] <Amidamar> hallo
[13:41] <pac1> Ton1, df is a bash command that lists the partitions you have mounted.
[13:41] <Amidamar> i need some help
[13:41] <fde> gapagos: there are some examples here: http://www.alexandergrundner.com/2007/07/19/tips-for-transcoding-cinelerra-compatible-video-with-ffmpeg-mencoder/ ignore that it's for cinelerra though.
[13:42] <pac1> Ton1, for more info, type man df at the bash prompt.

[13:42] <Amidamar> Ubuntu Desktop Edition, can World of Warcraft be installed on the OS, and how is the security?
[13:42] <asdrubal> Hi everyone
 ,right click on desktop -> Change  Desktop Background
[13:42] <trident523> system -> settings -> appearance -> backrounds -> pick a solid colour at the bottom -> it will appear as a backround -> ding.
[13:42] <Pupeno> After some hours, my wifi stops working, unless I restart. Any idea if there's some process I could kill to get it back working?
[13:42] <trident523> Amidamar: through wine it can, and it's 99% more secure than windows.
[13:43] <asdrubal> Do you guys know if Flash works with firefox in Hardy64bit ?
[13:43] <trident523> !wine | Amidamar
[13:43] <trident523> asdrubal: I'm using it right now on my x64 install.
[13:43] <jrib> asdrubal: yes, it works

[13:43] <bardyr> asdrubal: it does
[13:43] <Amidamar> ty
[13:43] <asdrubal> jrib did adobe put out 64bit plugins?
[13:43] <bazhang> Pupeno: please let us know : chipset, how you got it working, and what happens before it stops working
[13:43] <jrib> asdrubal: no
[13:43] <timr92> forgive me for asking such a stupid question, but i cant seem to find how to stop removable drives and the like, from popping up when i insert them
[13:43] <Saint`Dia> How do I view my startup items
[13:43] <asdrubal> jrib hardy64 uses a 32bit firefox?
[13:43] <jrib> asdrubal: ubuntu sets it up using nspluginwrapper
[13:43] <xintron> checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[13:43] <fde> gapagos: lol... ignore all those complicated arguments... it says just 'ffmpeg -i whatever.m4v whatever.mpg' will work... haha
[13:43] <xintron> how to solve that?
[13:44] <jrib> asdrubal: only the plugin is 32bit
[13:44] <gapagos> ahhahahha
[13:44] <fde> gapagos: I think too much
[13:44] <asdrubal> jrib oh I see. I wonder if that is efficient
[13:44] <gapagos> fde it's sunday morning you should take a break ;-)
[13:44] <asdrubal> df
[13:44] <jrib> asdrubal: meh, you are not going to notice...

[13:45] <exco> anybody any ideas on creating a network interface usb0?
[13:45] <timr92> sum1?? i upgrade to 8.04 and cant see where i can stop removable media from appearing when it is inserted.
[13:45] <Ton1> pac1, did you got it?
[13:45] <xintron> jrib: install libipoddevice
[13:45] <fde> gapagos: I really should... been at this on and off since around 11 last time... it's almost 6 now... heh
[13:45] <Saint`Dia> How do I view my startup items??
[13:45] <Pupeno> bazhang: "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG", I've got it working by using the icon in the tray-bar and picking it up from the list. I'm using WEP hoping that the problem was actually WPA, but it seems that's not the case. After a while, the connection resets back to wire. If I try to pick the wifi again, then it asks me for the password (which was configured and saved) and never manages to log-in falling back to wire.

[13:45] <apecat> hm, i'm trying to mount a ide hdd connected to my computer with a usb -> ide converter. when plugging in the drive /dev/sda is created, but /dev/sda1, isn't. it's an ext3 partition. what should i try?
[13:45] <jtravnick> legend2440, ok least than i know its not me thanks
[13:45] <jrib> xintron: that's packaged in the universe repository, you shouldn't be compiling it
[13:45] <Pupeno> bazhang: I was hopping to kill a wpa-supplicant or something like that and get over i.t
[13:45] <pac1> ton1, I see you have two disks mounted.  /sda1 and /sdb1.  /sda is one controller, /sdb is a second controller.
[13:45] <pac1> ton 1, how many disk drives do you have?
[13:46] <apecat> also, when i plug in the drive and reboot, the drive works
[13:46] <Ton1> 3
[13:46] <timr92> Saint'Dia, get boot up manager i think
[13:46] <xintron> jrib: it is?
[13:46] <apecat> but rebooting just for using a usb hdd is kinda irritating
[13:46] <fde> apecat: /dev/sda isn't your Windows partition, is it?
[13:46] <Ton1> 2 Satas detected and 1 IDE undetected
[13:46] <misngh> i want to share some directories .. what permissions should i use? 777?
[13:46] <bazhang> Pupeno: this is also connected ethernet? what may be happening is that when signal gets weak it trys to connect via ethernet
[13:46] <jrib> xintron: yes, at least in hardy.  Are you using a different ubuntu version?
[13:46] <fde> apecat: Wait, ignore that... that is still strange though that it picks sda
[13:46] <xintron> jrib: Nope, I'm using hardy
[13:46] <apecat> fde: whooops, sorry. it's /dev/sdb
[13:47] <pac1> pac1, how about your /etc/fstab?  do you have a line in there for the ide drive?
[13:47] <jrib> !info libipoddevice0 hardy | xintron
[13:47] <apecat> sda is my laptop's main drive
[13:47] <xintron> jrib: but I have a problem, banshee doesn't recognize my ipod

[13:47] <xenomorph99> Hi. Can anyone help with an ubuntu server installation problem?
[13:47] <Szabo> afternoon all, I have spend a while browsing round the forums and not found a simple way to launch an application to a specific desktop number, is it possible ?
[13:47] <danger_> hi
[13:47] <jrib> xintron: ask for help with that (I don't anything about banshee and ipods)
[13:47] <apecat> but, as i said, there's no /dev/sdb1 unless i rebooot
[13:47] <danger_> i am newhere
[13:47] <stefg> !ask xenomorph99
[13:47] <clusty> i was wondering if anyone could give me a hand with getting suspend to ram/hibernation to work. susp to ram works but display never wakes up, while hibernation never powers down. any clues where to start?
[13:47] <Ton1> mom
[13:47] <stefg> !ask | xenomorph99
[13:47] <timr92> Saint'Dia, it is 'bum' in synaptics, i think thats the kind of thing u want
[13:47] <Pupeno> bazhang: it is now connected to ethernet, if it wasn't, the connection would have reverted to "unplugged wired network", the router is like, 1 m away, the signal in the menu couldn't be higher. It always happens after a few hours of booting, and it is always fixed by rebooting.
[13:48] <fde> apecat: mount /dev/sdb1 /media <-- nothing in /media after this command?
[13:48] <xenomorph99> It'll be more than one line ;-)
[13:48] <freakabcd> '~/.gvfs': Transport endpoint is not connected
[13:48] <freakabcd> anyone know how i get rid of this error?
[13:48] <freakabcd> i get that with df, du, mount, etc.
[13:48] <bazhang> Pupeno: is the ethernet connected at any time during wireless? or only after wireless has died
[13:48] <freakabcd> its a bit crazy
[13:48] <pac1> ton1,  to see what's in fstab you can type cat /etc/fstab.  man cat to see what cat does.
[13:48] <Pupeno> bazhang: generally after.
[13:48] <gapagos> anyone knows a better video hosting service than GoogleVideo for long (30+min) videos? I don't think any exist,but just wondering...
[13:49] <jrib> !offtopic | gapagos
[13:49] <bazhang> Pupeno: you have it set to roaming (wireless)?
[13:49] <exco> gapagos: veoh?
[13:49] <pac1> ton1, mom?
[13:49] <apecat> fde: mkdir /media/luls -> mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/luls/ - mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist (as one would expect, there's no /dev/sdb1)
[13:50] <xenomorph99> I'm trying to install ubuntu 8.04 server to a compact flash (I have a CF to IDE converter) but I get an error saying that a suitable kernel could not be found in the APT sources. The installation CD has been checked for defects and found to be OK. Anyone help?
[13:50] <Ton1> pac1, ok
[13:50] <Ton1> pac1, sry
[13:50] <rbrunhuber> !grub
[13:50] <Pupeno> bazhang: I don't understand. I'm just picking the right wireless network (by name) from the menu of the network icon on the traybar (how is that program called by the way?)
[13:50] <stefg> xenomorph99: waht hardware is that?
[13:50] <xenomorph99> What hardware is what? The system or the HDD/CF ?
[13:51] <stefg> xenomorph99: cpu/ram/motherboard
[13:51] <Ton1> pac1, http://paste.ubuntu.com/9971/
[13:51] <xenomorph99> I know the hardware is OK as I'm running 8.04 now on it
[13:51] <xenomorph99> I installed from the alt desktop CD
[13:51] <fde> apecat: ls /dev/sd[tab] (don't hit enter) doesn't return any #'s not pertaining to sda?
[13:51] <bazhang> Pupeno: it is called nm-applet; if it is roaming mode then it will try to choose the best available network let me find you a guide on how to do all that via the command line as I have found network manager to be troublesome at times

[13:52] <xenomorph99> But, it's a Gigabyte MB, Core DUO 2GHz, 2GB of RAM
[13:52] <apecat> sda is my laptops internal hdd with a bunch of ext3 partitions and swap
[13:53] <gapagos> exco i looked into veoh, it says it's p2p based, considering my video is targeted for at most 25 of my friends, 95% of which shut down their computers 22 hours a day, I don't think it's a reliable service
[13:53] <stefg> xenomorph99: ok, so that's quite likely an issue either with the CF>IDE-Adapter or the jmicron Pata-controller.
[13:53] <gapagos> i think I'll stick with GoogleVideo but thanks!
[13:53] <exco> gapagos: I didn't even know that
[13:53] <fde> apecat: Was a yes or no question... heh... sdb will be automatically created too... it would probably be easier if you were just using it as a USB mass storage device  :/
[13:54] <xenomorph99> You mean it doesn't know what to do with the IDE/CF device ?
[13:54] <fde> apecat: Should just be auto-detected etc
[13:54] <pac1> ton1,  is there more of it?  I only see 9 lines.
[13:54] <stefg> xenomorph99: exactly... the hardware  recognition looks ate the device and can't tell wether it's pata, sata or scsi
[13:54] <exco> usb0?
[13:54] <xenomorph99> Why would that be? I saw an article in Linux format where they were running Ubuntu server from a CF card and I have the same adaptor that they have.
[13:55] <nana> .. if when i try to format a disc and it says "Cannot blank with non Ricoh based device" is there anyway to format the disk?
[13:55] <stefg> xenomorph99: that's my theory so far
[13:55] <xenomorph99> How do I force it to look at it in a certain way ?
[13:55] <Ton1> pac1, when i type  cat /etc/fstab there are 9 lines
[13:55] <apecat> fde: what do you mean? :) i am trying to use it as a usb mass storage device... the "computer" view in gnome refuses to mount, and as you can see, there's no partition visible on the device, although there certainly is when the drive is plugged in during bootup
[13:55] <fde> apecat: does ls /dev/sg[tab] present anything?
[13:55] <stefg> xenomorph99: have you looked at dmesg of the system tht's running on that system?
[13:56] <apecat> fde: yes
[13:56] <xenomorph99> No, what do I need to type ?
[13:56] <gapagos> fde the command doesnt work :-(

[13:56] <minimec> Hi folks. Got a weird problem with the ati restricted driver from the repos and my radeon 9600 Mobility.

Complete system freeze (Habe to 'raise skinny elephants'). I get no errors in the xorg.log, as it seems the xserver starts correctly.

[13:57] <stefg> xenomorph99: open a terminal, type < dmesg > and put that up on pastebin (see /topic) to let me have a look.
[13:57] <fde> apecat: umount /mount/<whatever_you_made_it> just to make sure... then mount /dev/sg0 /mount
[13:57] <apecat> fde: mount insists that neither of those are block devices, if that's where you were heading..
[13:57] <jrib> TJ13820: why? qt is packaged
[13:57] <stdin> TJ13820: did you run "sudo apt-get update"?
[13:58] <TJ13820> it won't install without libc6 packages
[13:58] <TJ13820> and yes
[13:58] <fde> apecat: try it one time without defining -t ?
[13:58] <jrib> !who | TJ13820
[13:58] <xenomorph99> Well, there is a problem in doing that because I'm not 'in the installer' at the moment but I can see the /var dir from the installation. Will the log be in there ?

[13:58] <fde> apecat: It is obviously not ext3 ... so lets try letting mount figure it out...

[14:00] <fde> apecat: Well then idk... but /dev/sg* is the drive
[14:00] <pac1> ton1, ok.got it.   /media is what happens if you don't specify something explicitly in /etc/fstab.
[14:00] <gapagos> fde it says ffmpeg -i whatever.m4v whatever.mpg
[14:00] <gapagos> oops sorry
[14:00] <stefg> xenomorph99: yes /var/log/messages ... but when you have a running ubuntu on that box, it might be easier to just copy the system over to the CF, do some minor adjustments and avoid the problem altogether

[14:01] <as84> IntangibleLiquid > are all those hotkeys working fine?
[14:01] <fde> apecat: still nothing in /mount after trying /dev/sg0?
[14:02] <acp_> !dia
[14:02] <x_zeuss> anyone?
[14:02] <fde> !info dia
[14:02] <xenomorph99> There is nothing in the dmesg log in /var
[14:02] <sCOTTo> jrib: and filetotar can also be a folder ?
[14:02] <acp_> sorry
[14:02] <jrib> sCOTTo: yes
[14:02] <x_zeuss>  whenever i try to compile something manually when i do the make command i get the following: make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[14:02] <IntangibleLiquid> as84, sleep, volume, brightness, mail and web browser work fine, but wireless led and touchpad don't
[14:02] <apecat> fde: "not a block devide", and nothign is mounted at the spcicied location
[14:02] <apecat> *specified
[14:02] <exco> how do I create an usb interface
[14:02] <jrib> x_zeuss: what are you compiling?
[14:02] <acp_> !info xchat
[14:03] <as84> IntangibleLiquid: but the wifi does work?
[14:03] <sCOTTo> jrib: thanks
[14:03] <pac1> x_zeuss, you have to cd to the directory where the makefile is.
[14:03] <fde> acp_: please /msg ubottu <whatever> rather than adding noise to the channel, thanks
[14:03] <cjzjm100> Hi guys,i had install the mplayer from repo,and i had puted codecs file named all-20071007 into the /usr/lib/codecs,however i still can't see the rmvb files.i can hear the sounds,but can't see the video.why?
[14:03] <jrib> sCOTTo: 'man tar' has some examples too
[14:03] <gapagos> fde it says Unsupported codec (id=86018) for input stream #0.1 yet i can read the mp4 in Totem so I should have the codec in ffmpeg, no?
[14:03] <sCOTTo> thanks
[14:03] <fde> apecat: Sorry, then I have no idea...
[14:03] <x_zeuss> i did cd to that folder
[14:03] <IntangibleLiquid> as84, yeah, it works like a charm. I just tested it this afternoon in a wifi coffee shop
[14:03] <jrib> !who | x_zeuss
[14:03] <x_zeuss> i tried to compile the aurora gtk engine
[14:03] <gapagos> i mean the m4v
[14:03] <xenomorph99> I can't copy my existing system, either, as that is a full install and it won't fit onto the 2GB flash drive
[14:03] <pac1> is there a makefile in it?
[14:03] <apecat> fde: well i've struggled with this before (mounting hotplugged ext3 formatted drives using usb) on both ubuntu and debian. i'll probably open a bug on launchpad at some point. thanks anyway
[14:04] <x_zeuss> jrib  i tried to compile the aurora gtk engine
[14:04] <alintata> buna
[14:04] <extra_noob_need_> how to instal default ubuntu drivers for graphic card (i messed up with envy now disble and unistal all)
[14:04] <as84> IntangibleLiquid: oh that's cool - so... speed wise, is it better than windows?
[14:04] <fde> gapagos: That just means that one of the gstreamer codecs CAN read it  :(
[14:04] <acp_> sorry,I will thanks for the info @fde
[14:04] <x_zeuss> jrib and the excelcior gtk engine
[14:04] <TJ13820> Jrib: it wants to uninstall 630 programs
[14:04] <gapagos> fde so is there a way i can get the codec for ffmpeg?
[14:04] <x_zeuss>  jrib from gnome-look
[14:04] <extra_noob_need_> hardware drivers ati drivers unthicked and not in use
[14:04] <TJ13820> Jrib: is their a way to downgrade all programs on my system to meet the older libc6 requirements
[14:05] <IntangibleLiquid> as84, it consumes less resources (ram, cpu). For power consumption I think both are relatively the same
[14:05] <alintata> buna
[14:05] <extra_noob_need_> how to rewert to default settings on ubuntu install?
[14:05] <brightwebworks> I added defoptions=vga=791 to menu.lst but when I run update-grub it brings menu.lst back to before me editing it. Am I missing anything?
[14:05] <gapagos> imho it's all APPLE'S FAULT for using such LAME codec formats
[14:05] <fde> gapagos: nope... follow what ubottu is about to tell you though, and get w32codecs and mencoder from the archive:
[14:05] <jrib> TJ13820: pastebin exactly what you did and all the output, the output of 'apt-cache policy libc6' and your sources.list
[14:05] <IntangibleLiquid> as84, firefox and openoffice run pretty fast in ubuntu as well
[14:05] <fde> !medibuntu > gapagos
[14:05] <as84> IntangibleLiquid do you mind I PM you, I just had some questions before I go for install
[14:05] <x_zeuss>  jrib any idea?
[14:05] <metroside> is anyone able to help me with fbpanel here please?
[14:05] <exco> will it help if I start crying :-P
[14:05] <Carbonflux> well, I am moving my girl friend from Windows to Ubuntu heh, wish me luck ! ;)
[14:06] <IntangibleLiquid> as84, sure, but I'm no guru though
[14:06] <Saint`Dia> Goodluck!
[14:06] <stefg> xenomorph99: i see. so the standard linux-image-server-generic should actually be the right kernel, but i'm not familiar enough witht the alternate-instllaller to be able to tell why it fails to recognize that
[14:06] <Carbonflux> :)
[14:06] <Saint`Dia> :P
[14:06] <jrib> x_zeuss: did you read the INSTALL file?
[14:06] <pac1> Carbonflux, Is she techically inclined or are you sure you want a new girlfriend?
[14:06] <x_zeuss> jrib yes
[14:06] <Carbonflux> lol pac1
[14:07] <fde> stefg: The alternate CD will install linux-image-generic ... the server kernel is linux-image-server
[14:07] <Saint`Dia> Carbonflux: Truthfully, how many girls you see in here.
[14:07] <jrib> x_zeuss: pastebin all the commands you ran in your shell after untarring and the output you got
[14:07] <hischild> pac1, my gf is totally not technical in any way, but she finds ubuntu a LOT easier to use.
[14:07] <Carbonflux> pac1, to be serious I have been preparing her for a while, its just her copy of XP is more rootkit then OS anymore
[14:07] <extra_noob_need_> how to enable default ati drivers in ubuntu 8.04
[14:07] <TJ13820> http://pastebin.com/d25be2ea3
[14:07] <Carbonflux> Saint`Dia, well, they hide, so its hard to tell, ;)
[14:07] <hischild> extra_noob_need_, tick the drivers in the hardware manager.
[14:07] <baconage> rg
[14:07] <TJ13820> jrib:
[14:07] <x_zeuss> jrib i do ./configure, that runs ok, no errors there
[14:08] <Saint`Dia> Carbonflux: My girl won't touch anything besides Vista.
[14:08] <x_zeuss> jrib just when i do the make command
[14:08] <pac1> Carbonflux, windows is like that.
[14:08] <IntangibleLiquid> hi guys, my linux box encountered several attempts blocked by firestarter from the same IP address trying to TElnet, and access port 8080 as well as 5100. I'm using port 5100 as my torrent port. Is it a sign of attack?
[14:08] <jrib> x_zeuss: pastebin please
[14:08] <vagamente> hi all... some problem with mouse scrolling... any help?
[14:08] <Carbonflux> Saint`Dia, Vista is fine, but it won't run on her laptop
[14:08] <xenomorph99> I can see where you are coming from but I don't know enough about the installer process. I think you're saying that it's either checking that the kernel is compatible with the hardware or that it needs some 'extension' for it to work with this CF/IDE combination and can't. That'd make sense why I can install 8.04 to my HDD but not to the IDE/CF
[14:08] <alintata> sall all
[14:08] <hischild> IntangibleLiquid, if it's the port your torrent app runs on, then probably no.
[14:08] <alintata> romanian people
[14:08] <alintata> ?
[14:08] <extra_noob_need_> its not that simple i used envy to instal new drivers, gl support was poor i got advice to uninstall envy and unthick drivers
[14:08] <jrib> !pastebin > x_zeuss (read the private message from ubotu)
[14:08] <pac1> Carbonflux, be sure to leave her a way to get back to windows if she ever needs it.
[14:09] <raoxun> i've unintalled two vista..........
[14:09] <alintata> ROMANIAN
[14:09] <extra_noob_need_> now im on that segment
[14:09] <IntangibleLiquid> hischild, but I'm not currently running Transmission
[14:09] <alintata> people
[14:09] <Carbonflux> Ubuntu is doing good, it detected the display
[14:09] <ganastasiou> hello everyone
[14:09] <Saint`Dia> Carbonflux: I duel boot, for as much as I love Ubuntu, Windows runs everything, right, all the time. Hard to compete with that.
[14:09] <ompaul> !ro | alintata
[14:09] <IntangibleLiquid> hischild, and what about Telnet?
[14:09] <gapagos> fde i can't make sudo apt-get install w32codecs work
[14:09] <fde> jrib: do that again... it will try to send to x_zeuss (read the private message from ubotu)
[14:09] <xenomorph99> So, I'd need to fool the installer into thinking that the IDE CF is something that it can work with
[14:09] <Carbonflux> pac1, ya I have a legal copy of XP home etc and I did overkill on the backups
[14:09] <ganastasiou> anyone uses kopete for msn client?i have a problem with file transfer
[14:09] <alintata> ubottu e chat rom?
[14:09] <extra_noob_need_> i got 2-3 frames even as i type
[14:09] <extra_noob_need_> right now
[14:09] <as84> IntangibleLiquid, I pmed you
[14:09] <xenomorph99> (?)
[14:09] <gapagos> fde it says Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[14:09] <fde> gapagos: you went to 'repository howto' and sudo apt-get update 'd after?
[14:09] <jrib> !test > jrib (read the private message from ubotu)
[14:09] <TJ13820> Jrib: what do you think?
[14:09] <x_zeuss> jrib ok, i'll pastebin
[14:09] <jrib> fde: no, it works
[14:09] <hischild> IntangibleLiquid, how long ago did you close it? It can take up to a few hours in my experience for trackers to recognize you're no longer there. And i have no idea about telnet. It's not there by default on ubuntu so that should be safe.
[14:10] <alintata> buna
[14:10] <IntangibleLiquid> as84 sorry, I'm trying to look for your pm
[14:10] <fde> ~test > fde thinks it doesn't
[14:10] <NightVisio> hey, I have really strange problem: when I edit and save my PHP source, gedit adds strange ^M$ symbols at every end of line. How to make gedit add only \n symbols?
[14:10] <IntangibleLiquid> hischild, I havent since yesterday. Been like this for a while.
[14:10] <fde> jrib: yeah... it doesn't.
[14:10] <metroside> Hi all, does anyone here have any experience with fbpanel?
[14:10] <fde> !test > fde thinks it doesn't
[14:10] <fde> jrib: Helps when I type it right
[14:10] <xenomorph99> Does the installer use the BIOS? I mean, can I try to frig what the CF is "to the bios" to fool the installer?
[14:10] <extra_noob_need_> i need a way to instal drivers that come with ubuntu 8.04 by default when i 1st time instal system
[14:11] <jrib> TJ13820: this is hardy's libc6?
[14:11] <Carbonflux> Saint`Dia, heh, well I think 8.04 can do what she needs which is mostly email and web, I do professional C++ dev so I sort of have to run it, I am happy with Vista now that I understand what they are doing but Ubuntu is getting really good, I have run it for a while for my "net" computer and OS dev, I think its ready for someone how just emails and web
[14:11] <NightVisio> can anybody help me?
[14:11] <TJ13820> jrib: i think so
[14:11] <exco> if the interface usb0 doesn't exist anymore ALL OF A SUDDEN - how do I recreate it?
[14:11] <alintata> romanian people
[14:11] <alintata> ROMANIAN People exist here???
[14:11] <jrib> TJ13820: so all those packages that are being removed, did they get upgraded to hardy versions too?
[14:11] <pac1> Carbonflux, my wife is now using OpenOffice on windows.  She complains when it's not the same as office. Still I've offered to install MsOffice for $149 student teacher edition.  She's chosen to save the money so far.
[14:11] <jrib> !ro | alintata
[14:11] <alintata> ok
[14:11] <hischild> !ro | alintata
[14:12] <pac1> !ro
[14:12] <gapagos> fde sudo apt-get update 'd does nothing it just clears the line and i have to press ctrl+c to return to the command line mode
[14:12] <TJ13820> jrib: i would imagine so. THey have to be able to use libc6 with hardies version
[14:12] <exco> hello?
[14:12] <TJ13820> Jrib: i should just upgrade to hardy then
[14:12] <hischild> IntangibleLiquid, that's odd. I doubt it's a real sign of an attack though.
[14:12] <IntangibleLiquid> as84, can you join #asus instead? we can talk privately there
[14:12] <Carbonflux> pac1, is it a desktop computer with a bit of ram? you could try virtual box and just install XP inside that for word, and of course you get it working with wine if its a older version
[14:12] <fde> gapagos: sudo apt-get update ... I was trying to signify past tense while not messing up the command.
[14:12] <as84> IntangibleLiquid, i don't think you getting my PMs
[14:12] <Carbonflux> I run XP inside of this linux machine all the time
[14:12] <Saint`Dia> Carbonflux: Now, I will tell you, I started with ubuntu on dozens of comps, 8.04 is the first one where -everything- worked out of the box, I'm loving that.
[14:12] <Carbonflux> it has 2gig tho
[14:13] <pikini> hey can anyone help me on updating a package
[14:13] <x_zeuss> jrib http://paste.ubuntu.com/9974/
[14:13] <jrib> TJ13820: well if you didn't make backups already, you should.  Then you have the option of trying to complete the upgrade to hardy or just reinstalling and restoring backups
[14:13] <pac1> Carbonflux, great idea.  hadn't thought of that.
[14:13] <hischild> fde, i ran <command> for past tense?
[14:13] <Saint`Dia> Carbonflux: Well, for me.
[14:13] <Carbonflux> Saint`Dia, I just loaded it on this laptop, it detected everything, including the display :)
[14:13] <IntangibleLiquid> hischild, thanks, I'm just a bit worried
[14:13] <TJ13820> jrib: i'll just upgrade to hardy. then i should be able to get build essentials to install and it should be fine and dandy.
[14:13] <TJ13820> thank you
[14:13] <exco> hello?
[14:13] <hischild> IntangibleLiquid, no need to be. Ubuntu is so far one of the best os's i've had. No crashes, no other wierd stuff.
[14:13] <exco> am I muted?
[14:13] <hischild> !virus | IntangibleLiquid
[14:13] <jrib> x_zeuss: read the last line of output that ./configure gave you
[14:13] <pikini> I have a recent version of vlc package than that is present in the ubuntu repository
[14:13] <hischild> exco, you're not muted.
[14:14] <pikini> But i don't know how to update it
[14:14] <hischild> IntangibleLiquid, ^ is some nice reading material.
[14:14] <exco> hischild: thanks
[14:14] <gapagos> fde o yea ok im updating :)
[14:14] <Saint`Dia> Carbonflux: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkUTMm7elm4 <-- There's proof of how ubuntu runs on my laptop. Short vid.
[14:14] <pikini> can anyone please help me
[14:14] <jrib> TJ13820: note that the upgrade may fail or at least stumble a bit
[14:14] <x_zeuss> jrib configure: error: GTK+-2.10 is required to compile excelsior
[14:14] <IntangibleLiquid> hischild, thanks, using clamav at the moment
[14:14] <x_zeuss> jrib so what do i have to install?
[14:14] <fde> hischild: I'm giving him assistance, and he misinterpreted things... you won't see me ask too many questions in here  ;)
[14:14] <exco> pikini: If I'm able to - I will help
[14:14] <pac1> gotta go.  smooth installs everyone...
[14:14] <trident523> #ubuntu, how does one run skype on an x64 install?
[14:14] <IntangibleLiquid> hischild, thanks. reading it
[14:15] <pikini> exco: please say how to do it
[14:15] <hischild> fde, i see. Good luck :-)
[14:15] <fde> gapagos: haha... where'd you get that wallpaper?
[14:15] <Carbonflux> Saint`Dia, what is your video card ?
[14:15] <gapagos> fde wallpaper?
[14:16] <exco> pikini: well in what format is your more recent version?
[14:16] <Carbonflux> Saint`Dia, heh, i love the devil girl btw ;)
[14:16] <xintron> !pastebin
[14:16] <Saint`Dia> Carbonflux: Thank you, one sec on the vid card, lemme look.
[14:16] <gapagos> fde ok i tried the ffmpeg command again and it gave again a bunch of errors but new ones check it out
[14:16] <pikini> There has been a recent release of gnome-mplayer
[14:16] <stefano> fhf
[14:16] <x_zeuss> jrib what package do i have to install?
[14:16] <Uzzi> hi
[14:16] <pikini> more recent than that available in ubuntu repositories
[14:16] <gapagos> fde it gave me this a hunded times: [aac @ 0xb7df59a8]FAAD library: cannot resolve faacDecGetErrorMessage in libfaad.so.0!
[14:16] <exco> Should the usb0 interface get created on connect, or do I have to set it up beforehand?
[14:17] <xintron> Can't get compiz to work as it should: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9975/
[14:17] <gapagos> fde it also gave [mp2 @ 0xb7df59a8]Sampling rate 0 is not allowed in mp2
[14:17] <pikini> I got the new version from code.google.com
[14:17] <Carbonflux> well, my only issue is this old laptop has a ATI 9600 mobility in it
[14:17] <Saint`Dia> Carbonflux:  00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[14:17] <trident523> ... aww, I'ma go ask #kubuntu.
[14:17] <Carbonflux> Saint`Dia, wow thats good then
[14:17] <gapagos> fde and it also gave Error while opening codec for output stream #0.1 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height
[14:17] <exco> pikini: so doesn't it come with instructions?
[14:17] <Uzzi> I've problems setting dualmonitor on 8.04 with intel 855 videocard
[14:17] <fde> gapagos: man ffmpeg  :/
[14:17] <pikini> still haven't checked
[14:17] <jrib> x_zeuss: install the libgtk2.0-dev package.  Better yet, find a package for some other engine and do 'apt-get build-dep that_package'
[14:17] <Saint`Dia> Carbonflux: This laptop has seen alot of OS's. I've learned quite a bit, just from the problems.
[14:17] <exco> pikini: so why are you asking then?
[14:18] <Uzzi> I've foud gides only for 7.10 xorg.conf version
[14:18] <pikini> okay I will check out and say to you shortly
[14:19] <Carbonflux> Saint`Dia, the was a good demo, you make me feel better about what I am doing, just about ready to install now, liveCD only needed me to set my static ip's, otherwise its detected everything
[14:19] <gapagos> fde that manual is so BIG im not even starting to understand any of it
[14:19] <gapagos> fde any straightforward way to just convert the damn thing
[14:19] <pikini> exco:there are numerous bug fixes and some features have been added in the new version
[14:19] <Saint`Dia> Carbonflux: The new Ubuntu is great, and has better laptop compatibility. I'm loving it. I have an Acer Aspire 5610Z laptop.
[14:19] <Loredana> buna
[14:20] <Carbonflux> this one is a close, a epower, it has a P4 2.4ghz
[14:20] <Carbonflux> clone
[14:20] <Carbonflux> it runs really hot heh
[14:20] <IntangibleLiquid> hischild, now its another SAMBA attempt from a local ip address :(
[14:20] <jrib> Loredana: if you want to speak with romanian people, use #ubuntu-ro.  You can join the channel by doing: /join #ubuntu-ro
[14:21] <Carbonflux> in its day it was uber
[14:21] <Carbonflux> now its more of a power waster
[14:21] <fde> gapagos: I'd be doing the same thing as you... and I'm not the one that wishes to encode an m4v as mpg  :/
[14:21] <hischild> IntangibleLiquid, that happens quite a bit, windows tends to search quite a bit, as does ubuntu.
[14:21] <fde> gapagos: typing '/string' searches
[14:21] <hischild> IntangibleLiquid, it'll comfort you to know that firestarter blocks it unless you allow it, so you're safe.
[14:21] <pikini> exco:there are numerous bug fixes and some features have been added in the new version
[14:22] <IntangibleLiquid> hischild, ok. thanks very much. :)
[14:22] <hischild> IntangibleLiquid, you're welcome
[14:22] <Nokia^> Hi! I'm not able to use my sound card while using Skype? I've read a lot about this on the forums, but couldn't find any workaround.. I'm using Hardy
[14:22] <fde> gapagos: so for instance '/encode' or '/bitrate'
[14:22] <pikini> I have a recent version of gnome-mplayer than that is in the ubuntu repository
[14:22] <x_zeuss> jrib it worked, many thanks :)
[14:22] <pikini> Can anyone help me on how to add the new package in the ubuntu repository
[14:22] <bladerunner> my miro crashes when I play a video, anyone know what I'm missing ?
[14:22] <exco> pikini: yes, that's expected, but what about instructions on installing
[14:22] <hischild> pikini, then uninstall the more recent one and install the repo one if you need that?
[14:22] <gapagos> fuck
[14:22] <n0kS> Nokia^ try selecting your soundcard in skype's options
[14:22] <jrib> !language | gapagos
[14:22] <bazhang> Nokia^: the forums say it will not work-->no success at all?
[14:22] <trident523> !ohmy | gapagos
[14:23] <exco> gapagos: I'm with you on that
[14:23] <roxahris_> Oh, we can't say fuck? Shit.
[14:23] <bazhang> gapagos: language (2nd time)
[14:23] <pikini> how to add to the main  repository so that it is available for everyone
[14:23] <trident523> !ohmy | roxahris_
[14:23] <bladerunner> roxahris_: clever
[14:23] <pikini> exco: same as the previous version
[14:23] <gapagos> i wasted 1hr of my life for nothing because of iMovie's moronic video formats and apple and its god damn protectionist measures
[14:23]  * trident523 still likes ohmy.
[14:23] <Nokia^> n0kS: I've tried that, skype works just fine, but i'm not able to use the sound card for anything else, while using skype
[14:23] <hischild> !language | gapagos (3)
[14:23] <J-_> Has anyone tried KAL Online with Hardy?
[14:23] <n0kS> aaaa
[14:24] <n0kS> Nokia^ I've no idea ....
[14:24] <Loredana> nOkS romanian ?
[14:24] <Saint`Dia> Now tell me if this is against the rules, But I want to rip my dvd's onto this comp. What program would I do that with?
[14:24] <n0kS> bulgarian
[14:24] <exco> pikini: I'm sorry, but I don't get what you're trying to do
[14:24] <exco> do you want to install that new version on your local machine, or do you want to get it in the repos?
[14:24] <hischild> J-_, i have not. Can you explain? Perhaps i'm tempted to try it.
[14:24] <Nokia^> Saint`Dia: try dvdrip
[14:24] <Loredana> NokS pls what channel are on romanian people
[14:24] <exco> Saint`Dia: it depends on which country you live in and if the dvd is protected
[14:24] <pikini> exco: I want the new version to get it on the repos
[14:25] <J-_> hischild: I was going to ask if it works if there were any answers I was looking for =)
[14:25] <jrib> Loredana: #ubuntu-ro we've told you many times
[14:25] <Loredana> jrib but are not romanian on ubutu
[14:25] <exco> pikini: sorry, I don't know about that ... I guess it shouldn't be to hard to find in the ubuntu wiki though
[14:25] <hischild> Saint`Dia, this is not against the rules as long as you own the dvd yourself. I prefer k9copy to also convert it to avi so i can take it along on my media player :)
[14:25] <xintron> how do I acces the emerald settings-pannel?
[14:25] <Saint`Dia> Of course the dvd's are protected, but I like the movies, I don't like the whole scratching thing. I wanna rip them. Does dvdrip care about copyrights?
[14:25] <n0kS> Loredana I think: ubuntu-ro
[14:25] <jrib> Loredana: what?  just do: /join #ubuntu-ro
[14:25] <pikini> exco: thank you so much for your kind attention
[14:25] <hischild> J-_, i see. I'm afraid i can't help with that.
[14:26] <gapagos> How can I convert a .m4v to any other video format that works for GoogleVideo??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
[14:26] <openuser> does anybody know any app to convert from nrg to iso??
[14:26] <Loredana> nOkS i try that...but are not people
[14:26] <Loredana> i dont know why
[14:26] <Loredana> :(
[14:26] <SaEeDIRHA> hi
[14:26] <Loredana> somebody help me
[14:26] <Nokia^> openuser: nrg2iso :P
[14:26] <SaEeDIRHA> what is the maximum size that we can reduce the copy of ubuntu to ?
[14:26] <n0kS> Loredana I see you... and there are people too....
[14:27] <SaEeDIRHA> i have asus eee laptop
[14:27] <SaEeDIRHA> and it has only 4 GB
[14:27] <Loredana> NokS
[14:27] <hic> what is the most efficient deinterlace method for mencoder tv capture?
[14:27] <openuser> Nokia^: I said graphical :-p
[14:27] <Loredana> ok
[14:27] <SaEeDIRHA> i want to make my ubuntu as light as possible
[14:27] <feaks> !sound
[14:27] <SaEeDIRHA> also keepiong Gnome
[14:27] <gapagos> #$%?&*() I have plenty of people counting on me to upload this file
[14:27] <SaEeDIRHA> what do u recommand ?
[14:27] <rubikcube> hi, is there any expose-like app available in 8.04, if I don't want to install compiz?  I couldn't find skippy any more
[14:27] <gapagos> WHY can't I convert it????????????????????????? :'(
[14:28] <hischild> SaEeDIRHA, it might be a bit heavy to have gnome on it. Perhaps fluxbox is more suitable?
[14:28] <Nokia^> openuser: :P it's a fairly easy thing nrg2iso <nrgfile> <isofile>
[14:28] <hischild> gapagos, you won't get any help this way.
[14:28] <xintron> how do I edit the emerald and compiz settings?
[14:28] <SaEeDIRHA> hischild: but i would like to keep Gnome , i am thinking to get rid of packages i dont need
[14:28] <hic> what is the most efficient deinterlace method for mencoder tv capture?
[14:29] <n0kS> SaEeDIRHA GNOME is not light :) if you want fast perfomance, try KDE (kubuntu-desktop) or XFCE (xubuntu-desktop)
[14:29] <hic> lavcdeint is not bad
[14:30] <hischild> n0kS, kde is also just as heavy on resources as gnome.
[14:30] <freibooter> Hey, I have a hug problem with Hardy Heron. I'm experiencing abysmal hard drive performance on my PATA drive ... the SATA drives are fine however.
[14:30] <luo> hi
[14:30] <n0kS> hischild for me KDE is lighter that GNOME
[14:30] <freibooter> The reason seems to be:
[14:30] <SaEeDIRHA> what u suggest me to do then ? in order to keep Gnome or KDE
[14:31] <freibooter> AdvancedPM=yes: disabled (255) WriteCache=disabled
[14:31] <freibooter> according to hdparm
[14:31] <n0kS> hischild I've tried all bases xfce, kde and gnome on 600MHz and the fastest was xfce
[14:31] <SaEeDIRHA> n0kS: what is the maximum usgae of hard disk or your kde ?
[14:31] <hischild> SaEeDIRHA, both are heavy on resources
[14:31] <hischild> n0kS, ofcourse xfce is the fastest one
[14:31] <freibooter> Does anyone know how to enable the WriteCache in Hardy?
[14:31] <maimster> Morning all.
[14:32] <freibooter> It's enabled for all the other driver, just not the one that Hardy is installed on
[14:32] <SaEeDIRHA> but i am not talking about speed, i am limited in storage space
[14:32] <SaEeDIRHA> my hard drive is only 4GB
[14:32] <mario1978> hello! i have a problem with my webcam and amsn! the picture is only black but in ekigo it is normaly :
[14:32] <b0x> rofl
[14:32] <b0x> bad luck
[14:32] <n0kS> SaEeDIRHA I recommend you install xubuntu-desktop (like ~400MB) that is using XFCE, is something like GNOME
[14:32] <san_> 哈哈
[14:32] <ghostlines> does bittorrent encryption require my peers to also enable encryption, or does the tracker handle the encryption ?

[14:33] <adam7> gapagos: try googling video converter for ubuntu or something like that
[14:33] <SaEeDIRHA> n0kS: thankx alot
[14:33] <n0kS> apt-get is somehow "universal" :)
[14:33] <mysterycool> hapagos: This channel aims to provide help with Ubuntu. For windows or Mac OS X then you might wanna check other help resources.
[14:34] <n0kS> np :)
[14:34] <ghostlines> n0ks: thanks dude
[14:34] <gapagos> adam7 i already googled everything
[14:34] <dare> gapagos, which converter you need?
[14:34] <mysterycool> gapagos: This channel aims to provide help with Ubuntu. For windows or Mac OS X then you might wanna check other help resources.
[14:34] <SaEeDIRHA> hischild: thankx to you too m8
[14:34] <adam7> gapagos: well, I found a lot of results when I googled video converter...
[14:34] <rubikcube> gapagos: tried ffmpeg already? just a guess though
[14:34] <mysterycool> Gapagos: There are quite a few free converters for Windows.
[14:34] <adam7> gapagos: try ffmpeg or mencoder
[14:34] <adam7> mysterycool: there are quite a few for Ubuntu too ;)
[14:35] <mysterycool> adami7: Yes, I know. =]
[14:35] <Flynsarmy> Has anyone noticed a huge CPU drain on resources tab of system monitor?
[14:35] <gapagos> adam7 it's all spyware adware and stuff with limited trial requiring registration and my video is 37:55 it's too big for trials
[14:35] <mysterycool> *adam7
[14:35] <dare> is there for ubuntu something like "system restore" in windows?
[14:35] <rubikcube> moin s0enke
[14:35] <Saint`Dia> No dvd rippers on apt with plain repositories?
[14:35] <dare> Flynsarmy, yes
[14:35] <gapagos> adam7 i tried ffmpeg and it gives an error
[14:35] <adam7> gapagos: I didn't run into any with adware or spyware for Ubuntu
[14:35] <n0kS> Flynsarmy yes, but only with the gnome sys monitor - no problems with the xfce4-taskamanager
[14:35] <Flynsarmy> n0kS: Is it a bug?
[14:36] <n0kS> don't know
[14:36] <mysterycool> Dare: I do not know what is system restore in windows so if you could be a bit more specific, I might be able to help you =]
[14:36] <ompaul> !backups | dare

[14:37] <norbi> Hello, I have a twinview display set-up.  Two of the same king LCD monitor. On one of them, the display is a bit blurry, and the edges of the windows seem like they flicker ( see some white dots from time to time).  Can anyone think of what might cause this?
[14:37] <openuser> there isn't repos for acetoneiso???
[14:37] <dare> mysterycool, restores to privios date if you broke your system
[14:37] <lapdog> I have a laptop wth around 640MB RAM. Should I create a swap partition?
[14:37] <gapagos> legend2440 yes but my file is in M4V not MP4
[14:37] <vanberge> lapdog, definitely
[14:38] <Nokia^> lapdog: yeah!
[14:38] <mysterycool> Dare: Ok, hang on a sec please.
[14:38] <vanberge> lapdog, a 1.2 GB one
[14:38] <vanberge> (probably)
[14:38] <vanberge> btw - does anyone know, did pidgin actually fork ??
[14:38] <hmuller> lapdog: the common recommendation is 2.5 times the amount of ram
[14:38] <lapdog> vanberge, all right. Thanks. I was just worried about the HDD writes.
[14:38] <gapagos> adam7 what software did you use and i can't make ffmpeg work it always gives me an error i can show you the error if you want
[14:38] <rubikcube> gapagos: which error does ffmpeg give?
[14:38] <hmuller> lapdog: but if you have 2GB or more, it
[14:38] <vanberge> lapdog, if your a windows guy, think of swap as you pagefile size
[14:39] <gapagos> rubikcube it gives me Error while opening codec for output stream #0.1 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height
[14:39] <rubikcube> gapagos: please paste the error to rafb.net/paste or similar
[14:39] <hmuller> is not normally necessary
[14:39] <adam7> gapagos: google mencoder
[14:39] <vanberge> lapdog, normally swap is 2 -2.5 times the size of ram
[14:39] <roxahris_> ...
[14:39] <mysterycool> Dare: Check in Synaptic, there are quite a few things for backup and system restoration =]
[14:39] <Nokia^> lapdog: It won't use swap as long as its got more ram
[14:39] <lapdog> vanberge, I am a hybrid (not a purebred :D)
[14:39] <adam7> gapagos: I was using it to rip DVDs, but I'm sure you can use it to convert something to a google video format, never done it though
[14:39] <vanberge> lapdog, me too - because my wife insists on keeping at least one windows install around.  :-)
[14:39] <gapagos> rubikcube it also gives me [aac @ 0xb7ec39a8]libfaac doesn't support this output format!
[14:39] <fde> vanberge: with what? pidgin used to be called gaim - due to legal issues - and there was a fork of gaim once called everybuddy... but pidgin hasn't been forked, no
[14:39] <dare> mysterycool, ok i will look up in syn
[14:39] <lapdog> Nokia^, thanks, you've answered my question.
[14:40] <mysterycool> Dare: Ok =]
[14:40] <ihthiolog> could someone help me ??????
[14:40] <vanberge> fde, i heard there was a fork because of resizing the text area in a chat window was taken away

[14:41] <gapagos> rubikcube it also gives me [aac @ 0xb7ec39a8]libfaac doesn't support this output format!
[14:41] <n0kS> lapdog you have Wine in linux, so you can use your "IE" ....
[14:41] <shirish> guys does anybody know how can I add a user to fuse group?
[14:41] <vanberge> fde, crap...i thought i had heard that and was hoping it wasnt true
[14:41] <rubikcube> gapagos: please paste the complete output to a pastebin

[14:42] <gapagos> rubikcube how do i do that

[14:42] <ihthiolog> ubuntu plus asus eee pc----->help nedeed
[14:42] <lapdog> n0kS, Wine won't work with the banking applications. They install a firewall and a tiny antivirus tool. I tried it and the install failed. :(

[14:42] <RandyboY> Ive installed Opera 9.50 beta 2 on Hardy. The opera plugi wrapper consumes alot of CPU all the time and will not shut down even if i shut down Opera. I have to manually kill it. Is this a knonw problem?
[14:42] <rubikcube> gapagos: I don't have ffmpeg on a ubuntu system here, but maybe I can help anyway
[14:42] <Deeps> ihthiolog: google for eeebuntu, might be relevant to your interests
[14:42] <n0kS> lapdog well, the other is... you have VMware to freely install win on a virtual machine :)
[14:43] <lapdog> Alternately I was thinking about installing just Lin and using VMware to emulate Win. I am not sure how that will go - AMD Turion ML-32 with 1.8GHz + 768 MB RAM
[14:43] <rubikcube> bump... is there any expose-like app available in 8.04, if I don't want to install compiz?  I couldn't find skippy any more
[14:43] <lapdog> n0kS, hmm we think alike.
[14:43] <shazhiju> 有人中文否？
[14:43] <Deeps> lapdog: needs moar ram to do it well
[14:43] <gapagos> rubikcube heres the full error
[14:43] <gapagos> http://rafb.net/p/lezJry84.html
[14:44] <vanberge> is anyone using FunPidgin ??
[14:44] <ldiamond> Im having prpoblems loading ubuntu on my USB hard drive. It hangs when loading SCSI drivers or something. It says something like "attached scsi generic sg2 type 0" and stays there.
[14:44] <rubikcube> gapagos: also, this might (or might not) help you http://discerning.com/topics/audiovideo/video_encoding.html
[14:44] <Deeps> lapdog: i've found ubuntu works significantly better virtualised than windows, so at work i have winxp installed on the system, with vmware workstation ubuntu running fullscreen.. confuses the boss sometimes ;)
[14:44] <lapdog> Deeps, I agree. Will do that sometime soon.
[14:45] <feaks> Sound stopped working with no apparent reasons for me. I tried a lot of stuff from the soundtroubleshooting page but nothing worked so far... aplay -l and lspci -v list my sound card, sounds not muted in alsamixer,  i even tried the --purge remove linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils and reinstall with no luck... any ideas of what should i try next ?
[14:45] <lapdog> Deeps, so you virtualise Lin eh?
[14:45] <Deeps> yea
[14:45] <mysterycool> ldiamond: not quite sure if it covers errors or troubleshooting section but you might wanna check this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[14:45] <Deeps> lapdog: yes
[14:45] <rubikcube> gapagos: what was the command line you gave it? does the same error appear if you call the output file `whatever.mp4'?
[14:45] <vanberge> apparently pidgin took out not only text resizing but the minimized window blinking
[14:45] <bazhang> !cn | shazhiju
[14:45] <adam7> vanberge: my minimized windows blink
[14:46] <adam7> I think
[14:46] <vanberge> adam7, what did you have to do to make that happen?  mine definitely does not and i cant find any way to make it blink
[14:46] <lapdog> Deeps, I tunnel into my home desktop (as a server) and use X from the office. We've got a fking good internet connection here.
[14:46] <vanberge> adam7, i can make the task icon blink
[14:46] <lapdog> oops
[14:46] <flithm> hey everyone... I dunno where else to ask this, but for some reason google.com started defaulting to google.de (when it should be .ca) for all the computers in my house.  Anyone have any idea why or how I can fix this?
[14:46] <lapdog> *ducks* nasty language error.
[14:47] <gapagos> rubikcube the command line i gave is: ffmpeg -i Jay08.m4v -f mp4  whatever.mpg and it gives the same error as ffmpeg -i Jay08.m4v -f mp4  whatever.mp4
[14:47] <adam7> vanberge: I take that back, I think.
[14:47] <zChris> winat btnx in ubuntus repos anymore?
[14:47] <vanberge> adam7 - we can find out together... im digging through my options
[14:47] <adam7> flithm: are you using a proxy that routes your internet connection through Germany?
[14:47] <adam7> vanberge: same thing, the little orange speech bubble shows up
[14:47] <Deeps> lapdog: Heh, I have dual screens, quad core and 4gb ram. oh, and an NDA. ++ i'm against the idea of using my personal resources for business needs
 This uses SYSLINUX, I'm using grub, I've done it a different way
[14:47] <xintron> How do I run stuff from the terminal so that I still can use the terminal (just start the proccess, not monetoring it)?=
[14:47] <legend2440> gapagos: if you change the extension m4v to mp4 does it play?
[14:48] <mysterycool> ldiamond: Oh, sorry then, no idea. =[
[14:48] <gapagos> legend2440 no the output file is empty
[14:48] <fde> xintron: <command> &
[14:48] <vanberge> can anyone confirm for adam7 and myself - how to make minimized chat windows flash in pidgin 2.4.1 ?
[14:48] <rubikcube> gapagos: and without the "-f mp4" option?
[14:48] <adam7> vanberge: yep, xchat flashes fine, pidgin doesn't, it would appear
[14:48] <legend2440> gapagos: from what i've read facebook accepts m4v video files
[14:49] <Token-> I just have one partition installed on hd, how can i show the GRUB while my computer is starting?
[14:49] <vanberge> i guess we can ask in #pidgin
[14:49] <vanberge> lol
[14:49] <lapdog> Deeps, similar config here.
[14:49] <xintron> ty fde
[14:49] <adam7> vanberge: disabling compiz doesn't help
[14:49] <n0kS> Token- installing grub :)
[14:49] <Deeps> lapdog: then why bother using your home machine?
[14:49] <fde> vanberge: I have the latest Pidgin in hardy, and the minimized windows blink when someone responds and the window is minimized... I also use the libnotify plugin though and with it wouldn't as there is no need.
[14:49] <mysterycool> Token-: More advanced help can be probably found in #grub =]
[14:49] <flithm> adam7: no, no proxy.  and if I traceroute to google.com I see it goes through montreal, new york, qwest, some random routers, then google... nothing out of the ordinary
[14:49] <ldiamond> What tool can I use to check a USB disk for errors, scan it entirely to make sure its all right?
[14:49] <vanberge> fde, did you have to set that up?  mine definitely does not blink
[14:49] <fde> s/with/wish/
[14:49] <nsb> hi
[14:49] <gapagos> legend2440 it does but my video is 37:55 facebook max size is 15min
[14:50] <lapdog> Deeps, when I need to download things to go home and watch it later on. MythTV so on...
[14:50] <adam7> flithm: hm, sometimes when using Tor I have that problem, but that's because tor routes things through random countries :)
[14:50] <IntangibleLiquid> bazhang, if I installed firestarter via apt-get, does it mean that it will run permanently as a service?
[14:50] <fde> vanberge: I haven't really played with settings, I simply installed pidgin-libnotify and it pops up a tooltip stating someone said something and what they said...
[14:50] <gapagos> rubikcube without -f it gives the error http://rafb.net/p/AA6tTY88.html
[14:50] <MrGnu> mysterycool:That is wierd that it is doing that, pidgin was doing that when I was using gutsy, but as soon as I upgraded, the problem was resolved.  Anyone have an answer for that?
[14:50] <Deeps> lapdog: ah, thats different! i thought you were using your home machine for work stuff cuz you needed a linux machine and were stuck on windows at work
[14:50] <bazhang> IntangibleLiquid: hang on a sec
[14:51] <ldiamond> What tool can I use to check a USB disk for errors, scan it entirely to make sure its all right?
[14:51] <fde> vanberge: Sending URGENT window hints for someone saying something doesn't really make sense... if I cared, the window would be open, heh
[14:51] <n0kS> ldiamond windows :) hehe, joke...
[14:51] <mysterycool> :p
[14:51] <vanberge> fde, i dont want it to open... but i would like it to blink on my panel.
[14:51] <mysterycool> =]
[14:51] <mysterycool> XD
[14:51] <mysterycool> =]
[14:51] <rubikcube> gapagos: sure you have a codec for mpeg 4 installed?
[14:51] <fde> vanberge: yeah... it doesn't for me either... that would be even more annoying.
[14:52] <gapagos> rubikcube yes, i can read it through mplayer
[14:52] <vanberge> maybe i can see why there was a fork
[14:52] <fde> vanberge: try pidgin-libnotify ... it's much better than using URGENT
[14:52] <vanberge> they keep taking things away
[14:52] <gapagos> both mp4 and m4v files
[14:52] <ldiamond> so what can I use?
[14:52] <lapdog> Deeps, my company gave me the home computer too. I bought a Toshiba laptop to act as a downloader and a webserver because it is quiet. I bought another laptop with decent specs. Now I have a nice little laptop to take to the office and flaunt it.
[14:52] <MrGnu> mysterycool:  have you tried running the devices check in Gutsy?
[14:52] <acidoverkill> hello
[14:52] <lapdog> home comp = desktop
[14:52] <MrGnu> I meant hardware check
[14:53] <theunixgeek> what's the trash folder?
[14:53] <mysterycool> MrGnu: Erm, excuse me, but I am a bit confused. With what are you trying to help me? :s
[14:53] <theunixgeek> ~/.Trash doesn't work as in OS X
[14:53] <n0kS> theunixgeek Recycled Bin....

[14:54] <theunixgeek> n0kS: I want its directory path
[14:54] <MrGnu> lol
[14:54] <Starnestommy> theunixgeek: it might be ~/.local/Trash
[14:54] <mysterycool> MrGnu: Lol, k, np XD =]
[14:54] <fde> rubikcube: I'd suspect he either doesn't have libdaap or has the wrong version... going by the stated error... but I don't know enough to really continue helping.
[14:54] <lapdog> hmm named my laptop "DeathNote". I feel all evil
[14:54] <theunixgeek> Starnestommy: no

[14:57] <fde> gapagos: http://www.winff.org/ ... the link on the site you wee given doesn't work.
[14:57] <rubikcube> gapagos: hmm, or look for aac, since that seems to be the problem
[14:57] <mysterycool> n0ks: it's a stupid website, it doesnt say what it converts XD
[14:57] <mysterycool> fde: yes, it's winff =]
[14:58] <N1N31NCHN41L5> everytime i click on a folder it opens a new one rather than moving to it - how do i get this back to opening inside itself???
[14:58] <fde> mysterycool: If you click the link on the page you gave though, it says it couldn't find the web page
[14:58] <xintron> How do I set so that compiz loads at startup?
[14:58] <southafrikanse> Greetings. I have no sound on Ubuntu Hardy (only with headphones). I checked everything but still no sound :/
[14:58] <mysterycool> fde: o_O I am still on that website :S
[14:58] <daedra> how do you make Eterm have a colour to it's transparency?
[14:58] <southafrikanse> xintron, if I'm not mistaken: compiz --replace
[14:58] <daedra> i.e. a red filter?
[14:59] <shawnr34> How can I add my own custom color pallet's system wide, so they show up in inkscape and gimp?
[14:59] <nainef> heh
[14:59] <xintron> southafrikanse: Will that make compiz load everytime I login?
[14:59] <fde> mysterycool: the page your link says to get the program from: http://www.biggmatt.com/winff/downloads/winff-version-0.33.html
[15:00] <gapagos> legend2440 winff gives me the same error in a mini terminal window as ffmpeg
[15:00] <mysterycool> fde: hmm, dunoo then XD =]
[15:00] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=516794 xintron see here
[15:00] <fde> gapagos: guess why?
[15:00] <fde> gapagos: heh... it's a frontend for ffmpeg
[15:00] <southafrikanse> xintron, if you go to System -> Preferences -> Sessions just add the command I gave you. I think it works
[15:00] <shawnr34> anyone?
[15:01] <gapagos> fde yeah i figured it out
[15:01] <norbi> I have been using a dual-boot setup with windows.  The only reason I had windows was because of games.  I have got these games working in Ubuntu therefore I don't need the dual boot setup anymore.  How hard is it to remove windows partition and dedicate it to ubuntu? Can someone point me in the right direction, thanks.
[15:01] <fde> gapagos: dpkg -l libdaap* | grep ^ii
[15:01] <ldiamond> Can any1 help me out with fsck, I can't get it to work? I tried fsck -Vs /dev/sdb ( it says it cant find fsck.ext2 or something )
[15:01] <N1N31NCHN41L5> everytime i click on a folder it opens a new one rather than moving to it - how do i get this back to opening inside itself???
[15:01] <adam7> Does GIMP have a way to batch convert images to a different format, or do I need something like imagemagik?
[15:01] <gapagos> fde it gives No packages found matching libdaap*.
[15:02] <IntangibleLiquid> norbi, delete its partitions and convert them to ext3 perhaps?
[15:02] <xintron> How can I see if my wireless networkcard is working?
[15:03] <eelis_> :D
[15:03] <adam7> xintron: you can see if you see networks in the wireless network icon, or run iwlist scan in a terminal
[15:03] <adam7> xintron: sorry, make that sudo iwlist scan
[15:03] <gapagos> WHY can't I STILL NOT convert this M4V FILE????? it Shouldn't be so complicated it's just a conversion of a file I can already read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[15:03] <norbi> IntangibleLiquid, Through what method can I delete that partition? Can I use Ubuntu install disk to do that?
[15:03] <gapagos> WHY
[15:03] <xintron> adam7: What wireless network icon?
[15:03] <gapagos> why
[15:03] <gapagos> why
[15:03] <southafrikanse> Any sound expert here? Need help in this subject
[15:03] <FloodBot1> gapagos: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:03] <rubikcube> gapagos: coudl you paste the output of ffmpeg -formats ?
[15:03] <IntangibleLiquid> norbi, I think you can use gparted
[15:04] <ldiamond> Can any1 help me out with fsck, I can't get it to work? I tried fsck -Vs /dev/sdb ( it says it cant find fsck.ext2 or something )
[15:04] <adam7> xintron: if you haven't moved the desktop stuff around, it should be two computers in the top right hand corner of your screen
[15:04] <adam7> !ask | southafrikanse
[15:04] <norbi> IntangibleLiquid, thanks I will look into gparted
[15:04] <xintron> ah, okej, now I get it adam7
[15:05] <IntangibleLiquid> norbi, it's the same as the partition editor, just a different name. you can use apt-get install gparted
[15:05] <s0enke> moin rubikcube
[15:05] <gapagos> rubikcube here's the paste of ffmpeg -formats

[15:05] <southafrikanse> I have no sound on Ubuntu. I had it before I had to reinstall everything back but now only with headphones
[15:05] <N1N31NCHN41L5> everytime i click on a folder it opens a new one rather than moving to it - how do i get this back to opening inside itself???
[15:06] <rp3_> so i upgraded my laptop to hardy, and now when I run synaptic nothing happens, any ideas?
[15:06] <mysterycool> What's a program which can record my desktop but at the same time to record sound from a Mic? Thank you. =]
[15:06] <edson> somebody use microfone integrated(internal) notebook hp?
[15:06] <rubikcube> gapagos: can't find libfaac there...
[15:06] <ldiamond> Nobody here knows how fsck works?
[15:06] <_linuxftw> Hey all. I installed X but when I try to run it it says there are no screens. What should I do? (Note I only want X to work over VNC, I have no monitor attached to the computer running it)
[15:06] <gapagos> rubikcube so what am i supposed to do
[15:06] <adam7> ldiamond: make sure you don't need to install and fsck packages
[15:06] <ldiamond> ??
[15:06] <rubikcube> gapagos: try to install that (if it's not already) and see if the errors go away
[15:07] <gapagos> rubikcube how
[15:07] <norbi> IntangibleLiquid, Installed it, it's scanning for devices now.  Hope it works out :)
[15:07] <Hammer89> is it normal for 44% of your memory to be used as cache?
[15:07] <adam7> Hammer89: yes
[15:07] <bachstudies> I've enabled compiz and can only see full screen video. Windowed ones just appear blank. Is there a setting I can change?
[15:07] <ldiamond> Can any1 help me out with fsck, I can't get it to work? I tried fsck -Vs /dev/sdb ( it says it cant find fsck.ext2 or something )
[15:07] <IntangibleLiquid> norbi, use it at your own risk though :)
[15:07] <mshaw> Hey whats going on
[15:07] <Hammer89> adam7: okay.. thanks
[15:07] <adam7> bachstudies: yes, disabling compiz ;)
[15:07] <bazhang> gapagos calm down
[15:07] <shawnr34> How can I add my own custom color pallet's system wide, so they show up in inkscape and gimp?
[15:07] <xintron> adam7: can I search for wireless networks or do I have to know the network name?
[15:07] <IntangibleLiquid> norbi, remember to back up important data first
[15:07] <feaks> Sounds not working anymore for me, when i do a speaker-test i get : ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave. Any ideas please ?
[15:07] <bachstudies> adam7: the only way?
[15:08] <gapagos> rubickube i have the libfaac0 package installed
[15:08] <mshaw> Does anyone here use Evolution 2.12 with Exchange support?
[15:08] <adam7> bachstudies: seriously though, you can probably change the output format thing (I forget the exact name) and it'll work with compiz
[15:08] <norbi> IntangibleLiquid, Don't have much to lose anyways, if it doesn't work out I'll just reinstall :)
[15:08] <rubikcube> gapagos: that's strange, I'm sorry I can't help you any further then...
[15:08] <_linuxftw> Wierd, I type
[15:08] <adam7> xintron: the network manager applet thing doesn't allow you to scan for networks -- try sudo iwlist scan in a terminal
[15:08] <gapagos> bazhang try to understand it's been over 1h30 im trying to convert a damn file here
[15:08] <ldiamond> How do I run fsck on a USB HARD DRIVE?
[15:08] <adam7> ldiamond: sudo fsck /dev/xda1
[15:08] <gapagos> over 1h and 40 minutes ok
[15:08] <gapagos> just to convert ONE FILE
[15:09] <adam7> learning is fun :)
[15:09] <Klej> some1 know to insert modules in metasploit ????
[15:09] <Klej> some1 know to insert modules in metasploit ????
[15:09] <mshaw> Learning is hard
[15:09] <bachstudies> adam7: hmm, i don't quite know what you mean. I changed VLC to use XVideo and full screen is very smooth, but obviously videos inside web browsers are blank
[15:09] <gapagos> with plenty of people wondering WHY i still dont have the video online
[15:09] <mshaw> I am new to Ubuntu I really like it though
[15:09] <_linuxftw> I type: /dev/tty0 and it tells me permission denied
[15:09] <bazhang> gapagos: please understand people here are volunteers getting excited will not fix the problem faster
[15:09] <gapagos> and what am i supposed to tell them
[15:09] <ldiamond> no such file or directory, how do I know what device is mapped to my USB drive???
[15:09] <adam7> bachstudies: ah, that might be a different problem -- I've never had much good luck with the video player in the browser
[15:09] <xintron> adam7: wlan0     No scan results
[15:09] <Hammer89> Klej: yeah.. but this isn;t really the place to ask :P
[15:09] <mshaw> I am stuck trying to get Evolution to work with Exchange
[15:09] <rp3_> so i upgraded my laptop to hardy, and now when I run synaptic nothing happens, any ideas?
[15:09] <SWN> newbie question about compiling: I ran "./configure", "make", and "sudo make install" on this program I'm trying to install, and everything seemed to go smoothly. So now where is the program installed? If I do a "which <program>" it doesn't return anything. Can someone help please?
[15:09] <xintron> adam7: We have a network at home
[15:10] <rubikcube> gapagos: tried asking in #ffmpeg already?
[15:10] <bachstudies> adam7: sorry just an example. both VLC and totem cannot play windowed videos on the desktop either
[15:10] <adam7> ldiamond: I gave you xda so you wouldn't run the wrong partition -- it'll probably be sda or hda
[15:10] <MTHRFCKR> does anyone here know C++
[15:10] <_linuxftw> I do.
[15:10] <ldiamond> but how do I know?
[15:10] <adam7> MTHRFCKR: ##c++?
[15:10] <lucio12345> hello
[15:10] <_linuxftw> SWN: Its probably in /usr somewhere
[15:10] <Starnestommy> MTHRFCKR: someone in ##c++ might
[15:10] <adam7> !hi | lucio12345
[15:10] <mysterycool> MTHRFCKR: Check #c++ =]
[15:10] <mysterycool> :p
[15:10] <mysterycool> lol lol XD :

[15:10] <FloodBot1> mysterycool: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:10] <adam7> bazhang: I was just wondering how his name was gonna be accepted here... :P
[15:11] <mysterycool> :p lol
[15:11] <mshaw> Can someone please help me with Evolution?
[15:11] <daedra> I thought it would be cpp
[15:11] <mysterycool> well, technically, it wasnt swearing XD =]
[15:11] <adam7> xintron: sounds like your card doesn't work then.
[15:11] <mysterycool> mshaw: Yes, what do u need help with? =]

[15:11] <lucio12345> thanks
[15:11] <SWN> linuxftw: OK, but where? /usr is a large directory tree. Isn't there some way I can know if it installed OK, and if so, where the program installed to?
[15:11] <mshaw> I am new to Ubuntu, and I am tying to use Evolution to connect to my Exchange Server
[15:12] <_linuxftw> why would /dev/tty0 be permission denied? X server says it won't start because of it........

[15:12] <ldiamond> How can I know what device my USB Hard Drive is mapped to? (/dev/XXXX ???)
[15:12] <upyr> ÂÌÑ ÓËÏËÁ ÎÁÒÏÄÁ...
[15:12] <mysterycool> mshaw: Sure. Ok, where do u need help exactly? Did you connect but it doesnt seem to receive or send mail
[15:12] <adam7> ldiamond: if it is mounted, you can run mount at a terminal to find out
[15:12] <mysterycool> mshaw: Or you do not know how to connect at all?
[15:12] <mshaw> I have googled for hrs but where I am not real familiar with Linux I am going in circles
[15:12] <mshaw> It seems to connect but never pulls down any data
[15:12] <adam7> ldiamond: but I'm guess that because you want to fsck it, it isn't mounted, so you can use gparted or something similar to find the names
[15:12] <mysterycool> mshaw: Ok. Hang on a sec.
[15:13] <bazhang> upyr: english please
[15:13] <ChaosTheory_> What's the *simplest* browser that has Flash support?

[15:13] <IntangibleLiquid> ChaosTheory_, IE
[15:13] <mshaw> I researched and found I need to install a Evolution-Exchange plugin, when  I try to install that it gives me an error that it needs the Evolution Development Libray
[15:13] <feaks> My Desktop is randomly not loading (no icons, no wallpaper, black background, no right clic on it no nothing...). I can easily fix this by relogging or doing a gdm restart but i'm curious to know what exactly is wrong, could someone please check with me what could have not loaded properly ?
[15:13] <dare> hey can someone tell me name of good backuping app with gui for makeing snapshot of system or patition? i tried few but I dont like them or they seem not working.

[15:13] <ChaosTheory_> Is it? Can I run IE on Ubuntu?

[15:14] <hikenboot> greetings all can anyone tell me a little about KVM I know as of kernel 2.6.20 its now in the kernel how stable is it? is there a gui for kvm? can it be built against uClibc?
[15:14] <ChaosTheory_> adam7: Would you say IE is the best choice? Least resource-consuming?
[15:14] <MakGyver_> but I have issues, I cannot actually connect to this mail server on localhost, has anyone previously done this tutorial with success?
[15:14] <ldiamond> I get "Bad Magic Number on super-block" When running fsck on my USB Hard Disk... why ???
[15:14] <adam7> ChaosTheory_: nope :) something that can run natively would be better - I'd suggest Firefox, but I'm guessing you don't want that
[15:14] <bazhang> XDS2007: language
[15:15] <adam7> ldiamond: are you sure that that's the right partition?
[15:15] <XDS2007> SRY

[15:16] <XDS2007> adam7 ty i saw it the  first time
[15:16] <ChaosTheory_> adam7: Something that can easily support numbered links, maybe?
[15:16] <adam7> ChaosTheory_: AFAIK those are the only two that can do Flash but I might be wrong
[15:16] <feaks> n0kS: ever found what could cause the problem ?
[15:16] <tony55> ldiamond,why are you trying to reformat your usb hd?
[15:16] <ChaosTheory_> adam7: Okay, thanks. I'll do some research, then.
[15:16] <ldiamond> Im not trying to reformat it.
[15:16] <adam7> ChaosTheory_: good luck :)
[15:17] <n0kS> feaks nope, but I'm now on gnome, and no problems
[15:17] <ldiamond> Im trying to check if its working correctly. I installed Ubuntu on it, and it will not boot.
[15:17] <Mr_Sonoma> A little help with a SAMBA/CUPS issue? trying to print from a windows vista machine to my linux box (kubuntu 8.04) so far i can browse printers on the windows box, and when i attempt to print a test page it shows in the "jobs" page of CUPS but goes no further. suggestions, ideas?
[15:17] <BoltClock> help, i cant seem to get audacious to play my music... im on hardy
[15:17] <Jckf> Why are removable disk which I do not unmount before unplugging left "mounted"?
[15:17] <feaks> n0kS: well i am on gnome so that must be something else
[15:18] <ldiamond> It always hangs there: "Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0"
[15:18] <tony55> ldiamond, oh well  did you install it via wubi or install it from livecd?
[15:18] <Jckf> *disks
[15:18] <n0kS> yes, could be
[15:18] <ldiamond> What is wubi? I installed from the "alternate" cd.
[15:18] <ldiamond> Ubuntu starts loading normally, but hangs in the middle, saying "Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0"
[15:18] <adam7> ldiamond: wubi lets you install from Windows -- if you use the alt. install, you didn't use Wubi
[15:18] <ChaosTheory_> adam7: Heh. If only there was a way to stream Flash videos through terminal. Then links2 would be enough for me. >_<
[15:19] <southafrikanse> I have no sound on Ubuntu. I had it before I had to reinstall everything back but now only with headphones
[15:19] <adam7> ChaosTheory_: now that I'm thinking about it, something like Gnash might help you?
