[12:07] <fisheye> mwe: have no ideia. All i know is it freezes during the boot "cheking file systems" and gparted wont open right
[12:07] <Eldanen> ln what?
[12:08] <cafuego_> berGi: maybe check the c++ help channel
[12:08] <PriceChild> Eldanen, afaik... just delete the "link" as though it were a folder/file
[12:09] <theflyingfool> has anyone built there own install disc for edgy?
[12:09] <infidel> anyone know how i can tell where my ir port is linked to in /dev
[12:09] <Eldanen> PriceChild, and that would be how? :P
[12:09] <berGi> k thanks
[12:09] <PriceChild> rm
[12:09] <PriceChild> Eldanen, ^
[12:09] <kitche> theflyingfool: not really but you can make a DFS/UFS cd

[12:09] <theflyingfool> dfs? ufs?
[12:09] <PriceChild> Eldanen, "man rm"
[12:10] <Eldanen> What if the link is a folder?
[12:10] <fisheye> who do i go about checking my partiction, or partition list or whatever for mistakes
[12:10] <kitche> theflyingfool: debian from scratch/ubuntu from scratch
[12:10] <Eldanen> You accidentally linked a needed folder to something else :>.
[12:10] <wyld> what does the "dev/dhb1 has been mounted 30 times without being checked, check forced" mean, is it normal, is there a way to cancel it (would it be a good idea?), is there a way to get the message not to show up?
[12:10] <LorenXo> it is normal
[12:11] <kitche> wyld: that is normal
[12:11] <wyld> ok
[12:11] <wyld> thanks
[12:11] <bruenig> wyld, you mean it flashes across the screen everytime you boot?
[12:11] <wyld> not every time
[12:11] <bruenig> oh
[12:11] <wyld> only about once every 2 weeks
[12:11] <TSCHAK> arrgggg, I can't remove wpasupplicant:
[12:11] <bruenig> it does it everytime I boot, flashes across then screen, then doesn't do anything
[12:11] <TSCHAK> Removing wpasupplicant ...
[12:11] <TSCHAK> dpkg: error processing wpasupplicant (--remove):

[12:11] <fisheye> juano: i got gparted, but it also freezes while checking for partitions
[12:12] <protocol1> the only way I could have it boot properly is when I do a restart?
[12:12] <wyld> *: thanks
[12:12] <protocol1> could that be part of my sound problem?
[12:13] <protocol1> any suggestions?
[12:13] <iustin85> please, how can i give a 777 permission to a folder ? ?
[12:14] <zch`> chmod 777 foldername?
[12:14] <iustin85> ty
[12:14] <hoelk> sudo chmod 777 foldername
[12:14] <theflyingfool> is it possible to get a list of everything i have installed, and then on a clean install have the system get all of that for me?
[12:14] <mwe> iustin85: don't go about doing that everywhere, though
[12:14] <rosa> ?
[12:15] <fisheye> well , ill rebot and try again
[12:15] <fisheye> se ya
[12:15] <zch`> could someone help me out with routing problem, ill go into more detail if someone cba to help me out
[12:15] <cafuego_> theflyingfool: yes. Very easily. 'dpkg --get-selections > list.txt'
[12:15] <protocol1> I think I should stick with dapper
[12:15] <cafuego_> theflyingfool: Back up list.txt. On the new system, 'sudo dpkg --set-selections < list.txt && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade'
[12:16] <iustin85> mwe, i just need 777 to a folder for php
[12:16] <cafuego_> theflyingfool: You'll also want to keep a copy of /etc
[12:16] <theflyingfool> why would i keep the copy of etc?
[12:16] <cafuego_> theflyingfool: config files
[12:16] <mwe> iustin85: well that's probably ok then
[12:17] <cafuego_> theflyingfool: don't put it back on the new system, but if you say don't want to be asked about ssh keys - I tend to put the old /etc/ssh back.
[12:17] <theflyingfool> what are ssh keys?
[12:17] <cafuego_> ok, maybe don't bother
[12:18] <jhasse> Why can't i surf in the internet while downloading something? It takes hours to view a website. But the download is fast all the time.
[12:18] <protocol1> would installing aoss having anything to do with messing with my sound?
[12:18] <theflyingfool> thanks
[12:19] <rosa> maybe, somebody can help me with another prob: i tried to use gaim to chat before and got on my bnc, but i wasn't able to write anything, because it didn't sent
[12:19] <LinTux> I have a machine here that I need to remove the KDE desktop from through terminal, what is the command to use
[12:19] <enyc> Hrrrm
[12:19] <kitche> LinTux: sudo apt-get --purge remove kde should just remove kde
[12:19] <protocol1> Im just going to uninstall alsa-base
[12:20] <protocol1> and reinstall it to see if that fixes it
[12:20] <enyc> ?does anybohy know anything about the console-behavior in edgy -- like caps/numlock not working and caplock actiny like shift in that will activate symbols etc. ?
[12:20] <kitche> rosa: gaim is not really meant to be used as an irc client so some things won't work right with it
[12:21] <LinTux> Kitche, cheers m8, that worked fine, meery xmas
[12:21] <rosa> so i'm back to my problem with xchat, that i cannot change the server port number
[12:22] <MenZa> Does anyone here know of a terminal irc client, which has support for a channel/server tree on the left, user tree on the right and messages in the center?
[12:23] <kitche> rosa: how are you trying to change the port number? by typing /server <server>:<port> or you doing it though it's connection dialog
[12:23] <TheGateKeeper> rosa, xchat --> network list --> freenode --> edit --> edit irc.freenode.net/8001
[12:24] <mwe> rosa: actually I think the delimiter should be / instead of :
[12:24] <rosa> delimiter / is right, thanks for helping

[12:26] <wyld> I have a yamaha dx-sg (?) sound card, and the volume fluctuates very much, and it is annoying. It does not do this in windows, only in linux. any ideas?
[12:26] <zch`> anyone cares to help me out with my routing problem? im running pvpgn server on ubuntu box for couple of friends, they can connect and play just fine, but i am unable to create any games, and when i join a game i often cant see others typing, and there is terrible lag involved, i've read about that issue on pvpgn forums, and it appears to be problem with port forwarding (my linux box also serves as a router for my windows box) i found this script which should su

[12:29] <wyld> I know,
[12:29] <kitche> odat: it should work by default if xfwm has it built in but you have to turn on the composite option in your xorg.conf
[12:29] <wyld> i celebrate it too

[12:33] <kitche> odat: ok you can dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to make sure that the composite extension is enabled
[12:34] <jpjacobs> phantomcircuit, i guess transcode, or some arcane mplayer pipe thing
[12:34] <stevr1it> any help for me?

[12:37] <juano> fisheye: any luck solving the problem,>
[12:38] <cafuego_> theflyingfool: the best way to make that happen is to help the wine developers
[12:38] <juano> fisheye: i wouldnt recomend that
[12:38] <jpjacobs> cmweb, try apt-cache search encoder|grep mp3
[12:38] <fisheye> no, but what do you think of my ideia?
[12:38] <fisheye> hmmm
[12:38] <fisheye> why?
[12:38] <cmweb> why is it that i never check synaptic

[12:40] <juano> zetsumei:  what seems to be the problem with cam?

[12:41] <tsukoharu> can someone help me with ndiswrapper
[12:41] <fisheye> what would be so bad about erasing fstab info on the other partitions?

[12:41] <mwe> ntfs-3g is faster than windows native
[12:41] <Slart> nolimitsoya: I don't think I'm doing anything strange.. but still.. it's horribly slow
[12:41] <tsukoharu> i need to convert a windows driver for a ethernet laptop card to linux compatible :P
[12:42] <Slart> nolimitsoya: and I don't care to much about the speeds.. I just want a responsive system
[12:42] <kitche> tsukoharu: what driver is it for?
[12:42] <tsukoharu> its for a dynex pcmcia card
[12:42] <tsukoharu> because i believe the module for it is nonexistant
[12:43] <Zambezi> Can someone please help me with lftp? I need to access a FTP quick and I can't make it work.
[12:43] <kitche> tsukoharu: hmm know the exact name of the card or the chipset it uses?
[12:43] <nolimitsoya> Slart, have al look at the system monitor, and read the cpu/mem usage
[12:43] <jpjacobs> Zambezi, what's the problem?
[12:43] <tsukoharu> i know the exact name of the card kitche one sec
[12:43] <Zambezi> jpiccolo, Can we take it in PM?
[12:43] <nolimitsoya> Slart, you can use 'top' in a terminal as well
[12:43] <mwe> Zambezi: lftp user@host. then type pw

[12:44] <jpjacobs> Zambezi, ok
[12:44] <Slart> nolimitsoya: ok.. now the copying is done.. but I'll do it again.. just to see
[12:44] <Zambezi> mwe, Does it use Implicit SSL then?
[12:44] <mwe> Zambezi: that's for plain ftp
[12:44] <phantomcircuit> doesnt look like mencoder can encod ein wmv
[12:44] <mwe> Zambezi: I don't know about ssl. I'd have to look at 'man lftp'
[12:45] <crazy_bus> For some reason, my GNOME wont let me login in.  I get to the login screen, type in my details, and then it comes up with the usual screen, but it freezes on 'Window Manager' and doesn't load anything else.  Does anyone know anything about this?
[12:45] <Slart> nolimitsoya: 6-7 % per command.. I've got 2 "cp blah blah" commands running.. so total of 14-15%...  and it's hard typing in schat

[12:46] <crazy_bus> no

[12:46] <crazy_bus> I can't log into failsafe gnome
[12:46] <nolimitsoya> Slart, then your system should be responsive. id it feels slow is because it cant read fron discs that are buzy copying :)
[12:46] <nolimitsoya> *if
[12:47] <Slart> nolimitsoya: although the copying is done at nice 15?
[12:47] <magic_ninja> kitche: so diable in firefox?
[12:47] <kitche> magic_ninja: there and there is a module also that needs disabled
[12:48] <crazy_bus> juano, if I log into failsafe gnome, it freezes on the loading 'Window Manager' part, but it also comes up with a message saying it failed to start gnome setting daemon (or something like that) and themes might not work properly.
[12:48] <magic_ninja> kitche: so i don't need ipv6?
[12:48] <Slart> nolimitsoya: so, I'll have to live with 2 second pauses every now and then (where everything stands still!)??
[12:48] <kitche> magic_ninja: noo only need it if you use it
[12:48] <juano> mmm... crazy_bus
[12:48] <nolimitsoya> Slart, ? your i/o quota is at 100% because of the copying. that means there is going to be somw trouble to takt time out to do the search/read/pipe routine with the menu icons, for example. hence, itll seem slow
[12:48] <juano> crazy_bus: let m check this out a bit
[12:49] <Slart> nolimitsoya: I'm not blaming you here =) but shouldn't the menues etc be in memory already?
[12:49] <phatlip_> hey guys i'm trying to install ubunutu on a powerboook g4, hoever i want to keep my Os X install as well and dual boot
[12:49] <magic_ninja> kitche: ty sir
[12:49] <jmiller565> merry christmas
[12:50] <juano> crazy_bus: try this : dpkg-reconfigure gnome
[12:50] <phatlip_> how can i re-size my os x partition? ubuntu installer seems to want to wipe my entire drive.
[12:50] <nolimitsoya> Slart, depends on what your settings are for caching :)
[12:50] <juano> as root
[12:50] <Slart> nolimitsoya: do SATA drives use DMA or something similar?
[12:50] <Slart> nolimitsoya: how can I check that?
[12:50] <nolimitsoya> Slart, they would most likely be swapped out, since they are rarely used
[12:50] <nolimitsoya> Slart, sata drives dont use dma
[12:51] <nolimitsoya> Slart, /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
[12:51] <nolimitsoya> Slart, 0 means never swap, and 100 means always. default is 60
[12:51] <cafuego_> nolimitsoya: well, they do, but you can't turn it off ;-)
[12:51] <Slart> nolimitsoya: I'll check
[12:51] <nolimitsoya> cafuego_, true :)
[12:52] <odat> hi everyone
[12:52] <Eldanen> How can I add a module to the kernel? (coretemp.ko)
[12:52] <Slart> nolimitsoya: well.. 60 it is..
[12:52] <juano> crazy_bus: if that doesnt work , try this crazy_bus:   1) ctrl + alt + F1, 2) login as root 3) init 3, 4)rm   -rf  $HOME/.gnome % 5) init 5
[12:52] <kitche> Eldanen: modprobe coretemp
[12:52] <nolimitsoya> Slart, lower it, and see if you notice any improvement
[12:52] <Eldanen> kitche: I mean patch the kernel.
[12:52] <odat> I was hoping someone could send me this file   ~/.config/xfce4/mcs_settings/wmtweaks.xml
[12:52] <no_comment> do anyone know why my yoxos eclipse app crashes with an error when i want to start it in ubuntu?
[12:52] <juano> rm   -rf  $HOME/.gnome that would be on step 4
[12:52] <crazy_bus> juano, it says this 'Package 'gnome'  is not installed and no information is availble'
[12:53] <juano> ok, try what i told you just now
[12:53] <kitche> Eldanen: you need patch then you do patch -p0 < patchfile
[12:53] <nolimitsoya> Slart, could also be the fault of the new kernel preempt for edgy... thatll be fixed with a low latency kernel for feisty :)
[12:53] <Eldanen> kitche: What dir?  /usr/src/linux-headers-*-generic?
[12:53] <kitche> Eldanen: the linux source directory not the linux-headers source directory
[12:53] <robineiro> como reparo  firefox, edite el modulo  firefox_dsp:"none"      y puse "esd"
[12:54] <robineiro> y ya no puede iniciar firefox
[12:54] <Curs0r|BAM> ok
[12:54] <Curs0r|BAM> windows be gone
[12:54] <Slart> nolimitsoya: wonderful.. feels like home when coming from windows.. everythings coming in the next release ;)
[12:54] <Eldanen> kitche:  All I have is a headers directory :>.
[12:54] <vox754> !es
[12:54] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendrn mas ayuda.
[12:54] <kitche> Eldanen: then you need the linux source package
[12:54] <juano> any luck crazy_bus?
[12:54] <Slart> nolimitsoya: but at least I can get the next version for free.. so I'll live =)
[12:55] <pablo> i`ve instaled Ubuntu, what is the default root password?
[12:55] <Curs0r|BAM> i need some help setting up my internet connection for sharing because i can't afford a router
[12:55] <kitche> !root|pablo there isn't one
[12:55] <ubotu> pablo there isn't one: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[12:55] <Slart> pablo: you don't use root like that
[12:55] <zch`> there is no default root password you have to set one
[12:55] <Curs0r|BAM> is a dhcp server the easiest awy?
[12:55] <Slart> pablo: not in ubuntu
[12:55] <jpjacobs> pablo, the root account is disabled by default, use sudo <command> instead
[12:55] <juano> pablo go to Slarts url
[12:55] <Slart> mine?
[12:55] <pablo> ubotu: fantabulantastic!! Sudo ask for a password! (it is NOT the user password)
[12:55] <Slart> ubotu's =)
[12:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about s =) - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:56] <magic_ninja> still getting really slow web browsing
[12:56] <Slart> pablo: that's your user password
[12:56] <kitche> pablo: actually it is the user password
[12:56] <rogue780> !pastebin
[12:56] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[12:57] <pablo> Slart: Ok, then i must benn confused :)
[12:57] <phatlip_> hey guys i'm trying to install ubunutu on a powerboook g4, hoever i want to keep my Os X install as well and dual boot
[12:57] <phatlip_> how can i re-size my os x partition? ubuntu installer seems to want to wipe my entire drive.
[12:57] <Slart> pablo: it's weird at first.. but once you get used to not using the root account.. it's kind of nice
[12:57] <juano> pablo sudo passwd root
[12:57] <juano> Enter your existing password
[12:57] <juano> Enter password for root
[12:57] <juano> Confirm password for root
[12:57] <nolimitsoya> phatlip_, you should be able to resize... did you try it? be sure to have a full backup, though :)
[12:58] <noobuntu> hi everybody and merry christmas, hopefully someone can help me with my WLAN, I have a ipw3954 which works under Edgy but is very slow, I reach at maximum transferrate around 50 kB/s and have no idea where to start to solve the problem, any suggestions?
[12:58] <juano> pablo thats how to activae root acount
[12:58] <crazy_bus> juano, is there any way to exit (ctrl, alt, F1).  Also could you please repeat the instructions you gave me?
[12:58] <magic_ninja> man...i mean i'm getting SLOW web browsing, 56k=faster
[12:58] <juano> crazy_bus: ctrl + alt + F7 (goes back to X interface)
[12:59] <crazy_bus> thank you
[12:59] <kitche> magic_ninja: did you blacklist the ipv6 module also?
[12:59] <juano> crazy_bus: it would be this : 1) ctrl + alt + F1, 2) login as root 3) init 3, 4)rm   -rf  $HOME/.gnome % 5) init 5
[12:59] <crazy_bus> thank you again
[01:00] <magic_ninja> any ideas anyone, ipv6 should be disabled
[01:00] <magic_ninja> i had 2 inet configs in my network settings, eth0 and eth1 but i should only have one connection
[01:00] <kitche> magic_ninja: when you turn off ipv6 in bad_list you gotta reboot for it to take effect
[01:00] <SpacePuppy> lol why is ip6 enabled anyway??

[01:02] <Curs0r|BAM> anyone know how to do that? i can't find a tutorial
[01:02] <mlk> hi
[01:02] <Curs0r|BAM> it's jesus day, not mlk day ;)
[01:02] <SpacePuppy> Lord_Nightmare: really you should explain your hardware, and software before posting that.. we don't have an fin clue
[01:02] <mlk> huh? ;)
[01:02] <Curs0r|BAM> just making a joke about your handle
[01:03] <SpacePuppy> Curs0r|BAM: what;s a mlkday?
[01:03] <Curs0r|BAM> martin luther king
[01:03] <mkaster> can someone help me with my wireless card? when I try to dhclient my card it tries to connect to dhcp server then does dhcp discovery but fails. I have a d-link dwl-g120 card
[01:03] <SpacePuppy> good one
[01:03] <mlk> oh, i see ;)
[01:03] <magic_ninja> hey..i found an absurb problem...
[01:04] <mc__> magic_ninja: funny
[01:04] <magic_ninja> i hooked up my usb cable modem though a usb hub and it added it as another device, therefore both devices were using the same modem as different interfaces...
[01:04] <Curs0r|BAM> internet connection sharing... anyone?
[01:04] <magic_ninja> i disabled interface eth0
[01:05] <Curs0r|BAM> i think it's probably something simple i'd do in /etc/networking/interfaces
[01:05] <crazy_bus> juano, it said synatax error at ').  I think I typed it as you said
[01:05] <juano> mmm sec
[01:05] <Lord_Nightmare> spacepuppy: up-to-date ubuntu install, self-compiled 2.6.15-7 kernel, gcc 4.0.3
[01:06] <Lord_Nightmare> tried to configure printer for the first time since upgrading from debian to ubuntu
[01:06] <seeds> hello
[01:06] <SpacePuppy> Lord_Nightmare: self-compiled.. well, i bet the issue is in ther somewhre.
[01:06] <seeds> please i need some help
[01:06] <SpacePuppy> !ask
[01:06] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:06] <seeds> my ppoe connection is not connecting autoamtically at startup
[01:06] <mlk> i've got a wireless question: installed kubuntu on my notebook.. seems like my minipci card got detected, but how or where are the tools to connect to AP?
[01:06] <juano> crazy_bus:  rm   -rf  $HOME/.gnome
[01:06] <aranzegi> HOLA
[01:07] <vox754> !es
[01:07] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendrn mas ayuda.
[01:07] <juano> 1st enter ctrl + alt + F1
[01:07] <seeds> me?
[01:07] <bobsdf> there is a command which tells you which process has control of a device anyone know what it is?
[01:07] <aranzegi> thanks!
[01:07] <Lord_Nightmare> SpacePuppy: yeah, the standard binary image kernels don't work at ALL for the opl3sa2 soundcard because isa-pnp-bios is horribly broken on this motherboard
[01:07] <juano> crazy_bus:  2nd login as root
[01:07] <bobsdf> something liks ls***
[01:07] <juano> crazy_bus: 3rd enter this comand : rm   -rf  $HOME/.gnome
[01:07] <SpacePuppy> Lord_Nightmare: works fine on mine
[01:07] <tsukoharu> someone wanna tell me how to format ubuntu
[01:07] <tsukoharu> i wanna get rid of it :P
[01:07] <juano> crazy_bus: before the command entert this command :
[01:07] <juano> init 3
[01:08] <Lord_Nightmare> SpacePuppy: the motherboard is a dell xpsh266 motherboard upgraded to a PII 333
[01:08] <juano> crazy_bus:  then enter:  rm   -rf  $HOME/.gnome
[01:08] <juano> crazy_bus: then enter init 5
[01:08] <Lord_Nightmare> and it uses the last released bios (A03)
[01:08] <SpacePuppy> so?
[01:08] <mlk> onyone running (k)ubuntu with a wireless card? minipci probably?
[01:09] <vox754> SpacePuppy: why did you kicked him. You gave us no time for sarcasms
[01:09] <mkaster> can someone help me with my wireless card? when I try to dhclient my card it tries to connect to dhcp server then does dhcp discovery but fails. I have a d-link dwl-g120 card
[01:09] <Lord_Nightmare> when compiling the kernel from the ubuntu sources with pnp-bios enabled it gives all sorts of weird errors about incorrect pnp bios formatting and stuff, and installing the alsa opl3sa2 soundcard modules fail regardless of whether isapnp=1 or 0
[01:09] <crazy_bus> juano, I did as you said and it came up with no errors.
[01:09] <jmiller565> I need help with installing a nVidia Graphics Driver. I installed  "legacy" and I followed what to do in Ubuntu help but for some reason when I try to enable it, it says i have something wrong with the nvidia kernal. Can someone please help me. BTW i'm using nVidia GeForce FX5200 128MB card
[01:09] <rogue780> can someone tell me where the modprobe.conf file is located?
[01:09] <juano> crazy_bus: it worked??
[01:09] <SpacePuppy> !source > Lord_Nightmare
[01:10] <kitche> jmiller565: hmm why you using legacy with that card?
[01:10] <SpacePuppy> !source
[01:10] <ubotu> You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html
[01:10] <crazy_bus> Do I have to reboot to test?
[01:10] <SpacePuppy> na.. that aint it
[01:10] <jmiller565> what am i supposed to use then?
[01:10] <SpacePuppy> !kernal
[01:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kernal - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:10] <SpacePuppy> !kernel
[01:10] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[01:10] <kitche> jmiller565: legacy is for geforce 1 and down
[01:10] <juano> no, no if you could login X interface with gnome in noral mode then its fixed now crazy_bus
[01:10] <Lord_Nightmare> SpacePuppy: i used the ubuntu-supplied copy of the kernel source
[01:10] <kitche> jmiller565: soon to be geforce 2 also
[01:11] <jmiller565> kitche: what do I use now
[01:11] <SpacePuppy> Lord_Nightmare: really your question are out of context for this chan.
[01:11] <kitche> jmiller565: you should just use the nvidia-glx driver not the legacy one
[01:11] <crazy_bus> For some reason logging out freezes my computer alot of the time, so Im hesatant to do it
[01:11] <jmiller565> Kitche:ok thanx a lot kitche
[01:11] <juano> you could try doing: init 3 in the console as root and then init 5
[01:11] <juano> crazy_bus:
[01:12] <Lord_Nightmare> SpacePuppy: that and alsa are the only core things i have compiled from source, everything else is binaries grabbed using apt-get and/or dselect
[01:12] <juano> crazy_bus: this refreshes X interface
[01:12] <rogue780> can someone tell me where the modprobe.conf file is located?
[01:12] <kyncani> rogue780: man modprobe.conf
[01:13] <kitche> rogue780: /etc
[01:13] <vladi> will the new stable nvidia driver be in the repositories soon?
[01:13] <Lord_Nightmare> SpacePuppy: well what i said about the self-compiled kernel was just explaining the REASON i had compiled the kernel myself
[01:13] <mwe> rogue780: usually /etc/modprobe.d/* is used instead
[01:14] <rogue780> does ubuntu automatically make the modprobe.conf file? 'cause it ain't there
[01:14] <crazy_bus> I reboot, and try and log into gnome now.
[01:14] <vladi> http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html shows version 1.0-9746 is the latest stable version
[01:14] <mwe> rogue780: usually /etc/modprobe.d/* is used instead
[01:14] <juano> crazy_bus: ok
[01:14] <rogue780> mwe: roger
[01:14] <kitche> vladi: it won't unless there is a security reason for the new driver
[01:14] <kitche> !nvidia9|vladi
[01:14] <ubotu> vladi: For Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft), you can obtain the (unsupported!) 9746 version of the binary NVidia drivers by using this repository: deb http://nvidia.limitless.lupine.me.uk/ubuntu edgy stable
[01:14] <mwe> rogue780: I think modprobe.conf will be used as well if you create it though
[01:15] <vladi> awesome cheers
[01:15] <mwe> rogue780: what do you need to do?
[01:15] <rogue780> I am trying to set Lirc up
[01:15] <pchapman> is it possible to use a new ipod from ubuntu without first initializing it w/ windows?
[01:15] <rogue780> the wiki's instructions don't work
[01:15] <gary> how do i add repositories to apt?
[01:16] <Lord_Nightmare> ...heh. and after i compiled my own kernel I no longer had problems with random system hangs caused by xinerama and viewport movement.
[01:16] <mwe> rogue780: if it refers to modprobe.conf it's outdated
[01:16] <gary> how do i add repositories to apt?
[01:16] <rogue780> mwe: I'm basing that off of a tutorial for fedora that I got to work before when I was using fedora for mythtv
[01:17] <Storkme> how can i get another mouse button to show up in ubuntu?
[01:17] <haxality> how do I turn off GNOME tooltips?
[01:17] <magic_ninja> is there a good nfo file viewer for linux
[01:17] <Curs0r|BAM> please someone must know where i can find an ics tutorial
[01:17] <gary> Storkme: it should show up if your mouse is detected properly...maybe you need a different driver?
[01:17] <mwe> rogue780: you can just create modprobe.conf I believe. or create a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ they should work the same
[01:17] <haxality> magic_ninja: try "cat filename | less" in a terminal
[01:17] <rogue780> mwe: thanks
[01:18] <magic_ninja> i mean for nfo files
[01:18] <mkaster> can someone help me with my wireless card? when I try to dhclient my card it tries to connect to dhcp server then does dhcp discovery but fails. I have a d-link dwl-g120 card... PLEASE HELP
[01:18] <haxality> I always thought nfo files were just renamed .txt files
[01:18] <vladi> gary: you can just add the extra lines into /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:18] <haxality> shows how much I know, I guess
[01:18] <gary> thanks vladi
[01:18] <juano> haxality: try this
[01:18] <juano> http://threebit.net/mail-archive/fedora-list/msg00267.html
[01:18] <kitche> haxality: they can be but in reality nfo is windows system information
[01:19] <juano> haxality: http://threebit.net/mail-archive/fedora-list/msg00267.html
[01:19] <crazy_bus> juano, after trying to log into gnome I found it still does the same thing and freezes on '' window manager"
[01:19] <juano> crazy_bus: mm... no luck.., lets check out what else it could be
[01:19] <haxality> worked perfectly, juano!
[01:19] <haxality> thanks a lot :)
[01:20] <juano> haxality:  good :)
[01:22] <Storkme> gary, the problem is, one of the mouse buttonrs doesn't work in quake 4
[01:22] <Curs0r|BAM> where can i find an internet connection sharing tutorial?
[01:22] <flugheim> anyone who have managed to get the output of exaile in the personal message in amsn?
[01:22] <gary> Storkme: sorry i can't be of much help...
[01:23] <jmiller565> kitche: i did the same to the other driver that i just installed. I tried to enaby it but this is what happened                                                      Error: unable to load nvidia kernel driver! Be sure to have installed
[01:23] <jmiller565> the nvidia driver for your running kernel.
[01:23] <jmiller565> what do i do now?
[01:23] <mwe> Curs0r|BAM: it's very easy in linux. echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
[01:24] <Curs0r|BAM> and what does that command do?
[01:24] <mwe> Curs0r|BAM: enable internet connection sharing
[01:24] <magic_ninja> where are local icons stored?
[01:24] <jmiller565>  i did the same to the other driver that i just installed. I tried to enaby it but this is what happened lll   Error: unable to load nvidia kernel driver! Be sure to have installed the nvidia driver for your running kernel.
[01:24] <mwe> Curs0r|BAM: then set the host as gateway
[01:24] <juano> crazy_bus: im checkin.. ill try to come with something up
[01:25] <mwe> Curs0r|BAM: on the machine you want to have access to the internet
[01:25] <kitche> jmiller565: might want to read ubuntuforums on that since I even have trouble with that
[01:25] <Curs0r|BAM> this machine is supposed to provide the access
[01:25] <pinworm> hello!!!!!!
[01:25] <jmiller565> ok thanks again
[01:25] <pinworm> marry xmas
[01:25] <mwe> Curs0r|BAM: yes. you still need to set a gateway on the other machine
[01:25] <kitche> jmiller565: it seems to be how the package is made sometimes it works for me and other times it makes X puke
[01:26] <mwe> Curs0r|BAM: it needs to know how to connect to the internet
[01:26] <Curs0r|BAM> i have 1 device set up to get a dhcp address, the other is off right now because when i set it to a static ip my connection shuts off
[01:26] <pinworm> guys i have an issue with fglrx
[01:26] <pinworm> ive been scouring the forums but i havent found a solution
[01:26] <magic_ninja> how do i set up a loopback drive?
[01:27] <magic_ninja> !loopback
[01:27] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type "sudo mount -o loop my.iso <mountpoint>" There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before burning.
[01:27] <Curs0r|BAM> mwe, i seriously need a lot more info than that
[01:27] <pinworm> if someone can help me out getting direct rendering working with fglrx drivers pm me plz
[01:28] <mwe> Curs0r|BAM: installing a dhcp server is a bit more involved and not necessary. you can use a static ip instead. just set your linux host as gateway on the other machine and give an ip on the same subnet
[01:28] <mc__> pinworm: that question was not smart...
[01:28] <Curs0r|BAM> so eth0 is my cable modem, eth1 is <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:28] <mwe> Curs0r|BAM: all right if it doesn't make sense you should probably find a howto or something ;)
[01:28] <pinworm> do u think u can help me
[01:29] <Curs0r|BAM> mwe, that's what i was asking was for a howto
[01:29] <pinworm> i cant seem to get rid of mesa drivers
[01:30] <gary> Curs0r | BAM: can you connect to your router? (i.e. type <IP_ADDRESS> in your browser)
[01:31] <mwe> Curs0r|BAM: and I thouhgt I could get about just telling you how to do it ;)
[01:31] <Curs0r|BAM> i don't have a router that's the entire point
[01:31] <gary> ooo lol :$ sorry
[01:31] <Curs0r|BAM> mwe, i need the whole story though
[01:31] <mwe> Curs0r|BAM: yeah
[01:33] <mwe> Curs0r|BAM: I found this for you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370

[01:34] <Stormx2> Haha
[01:34] <Stormx2> Okay
[01:34] <tsukoharu> i never was able to view the file contents...
[01:34] <tsukoharu> of cds i burn
[01:35] <vladi> also if you use WPA with a preshared key (WPA-PSK), go to a site and have it generate a random 20-character key for you
[01:35] <mlk> wireless question: is there a way to connect to a hidden SSID using some kind of KDE wireless tools etc.?
[01:36] <vladi> there is no point to "hiding" your SSID
[01:36] <Matthe1> hi all. I've been playing around with linux live cds and have been trying to get my usb wifi adapter to work, but with no luck
[01:36] <vladi> the SSID is always sent in the clear by the client when a client connects, so anyone listening will still hear it
[01:36] <vladi> also, anyone listening can pick up the MAC address of any clients connected, and use a deauth attack to make the clients reconnect, forcing an SSID transmission
[01:37] <vladi> (since MACs are always sent in the clear)
[01:37] <mlk> vladi: thats not what i asked.
[01:37] <Matthe1> it's a yd1201 based usb dongle
[01:37] <Matthe1> zd not yd
[01:37] <magic_ninja> is there good cd image conversion software under linux out there?
[01:37] <magic_ninja> !iso
[01:37] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type "sudo mount -o loop my.iso <mountpoint>" There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before burning.
[01:38] <Curs0r|BAM> bash: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward: Permission denied
[01:39] <magic_ninja> is there a good conversion software
[01:39] <magic_ninja> i was wanting apt-get package name
[01:40] <xbrc> can someone help me here when I tried to mount my win32(ntfs) drive with the steps provided on ubuntu website.. I clicked on the drive and get this msg "only root can mount /dev/sda5 on /media/win32"
[01:40] <IndyGunFreak> magic_ninja, what distro are you using?
[01:40] <xbrc> so does that mean I need to sign in as root? if so how?
[01:40] <tsukoharu> any1 know the dir of my cd drive
[01:40] <tsukoharu> >
[01:40] <tsukoharu> how to find it?
[01:41] <magic_ninja> ubuntu
[01:41] <Who_> I am getting really, really hard crashes - no SYSREQ or NUM Lock. Only when reading from one particular disk. I want to isolate whether the problem is the disk or the drivers for the SATA controller. I only have one SATA disk. any ideas?
[01:41] <IndyGunFreak> magic_ninja, what are you trying to do again, why do you need conversion software
[01:41] <magic_ninja> IndyGunFreak: to convert a bin/cue to iso so i can mount it, unless i can just mount the cue file as a loopback filesystem
[01:42] <IndyGunFreak> i see, nevermind, thought you were asking something else.
[01:42] <tsukoharu> any1 know the dir of my cd drive??
[01:42] <magic_ninja> IndyGunFreak: and yes i need to preserve copyright protection (installing diablo II under cedega, i lost the cd's but have the cases, so i d/led the cds off the net)
[01:42] <Who_> tsukoharu: have a look in /media and see what looks likely.
[01:42] <Who_> tsukoharu - it could well be /media/cdrom
[01:42] <fisheye> i did it!!! thank you guys!!
[01:42] <Matthe1> running ubuntu 6.10 live cd> is it normal that there is no /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware in filesystem
[01:43] <fisheye> i'll post the awnser to my problem on the forum
[01:43] <Curs0r|BAM> bash: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward: Permission denied
[01:43] <LiquidNerd> I'm trying to get my quickcam pro 4000 to work... is there an apt-get'able solution for it?
[01:43] <fisheye> yeah
[01:43] <cafuego_> curs0r: tip: be root
[01:44] <Eldanen> Is this line correct, if / is in /dev/sda3:  kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.20-generic root=/dev/sda3 ro quiet splash
[01:44] <tsukoharu> i cant find /media
[01:44] <xbrc> if they wanted people to use this crap they should have made it like windows... :( im soo frustrated
[01:44] <wizard> Hey all.  I just got an HP Officejet 5610 for Christmas.  It prints fine, but Xsane doesn't detect it as a scanner.  I also don't know how to set it up as a fax in openoffice.  After I follow the fax config settings, it asks for a command line to communicate with my device.  I don't know where to find/learn this...  Any help is appreciated.
[01:44] <Matthe1> tsukoharu: go to filesystem, should be there
[01:45] <tsukoharu> im in the parent dir
[01:45] <tsukoharu> nothing here xD
[01:45] <wizard> xbrc if you want to use crap, go back to windows.  Else, stick with it xD
[01:45] <tsukoharu> cept a bunch of folders i dont think i should mess with
[01:45] <Who_> xbrc: the whole signing in as root thijng is _very_ good for security :)
[01:45] <vladi> lol @ xbrc
[01:46] <LiquidNerd> I'm trying to get my quickcam pro 4000 to work... is there an apt-get'able solution for it?
[01:46] <xbrc> Who_: well do i need to sign in as root to config this stuff.. when I tried to mount my ntfs drive i get this "only root can mount /dev/sda5 on /media/win32"
[01:46] <vladi> xbrc: windows is (finally) moving in the same direction in regards to privilege separation
[01:46] <Who_> xbrc: I missed the original question - if you're trying to mount devices, then yes - you do have to be root - but you can gain root privelidges for a single command by putting 'sudo' before it, like 'sudo gedit <some file>'
[01:47] <paLindr0me> hi
[01:47] <paLindr0me> i need help
[01:47] <xbrc> yeah i did everything that file says and it still hasnt worked
[01:47] <xbrc> sudo was before everything
[01:47] <xbrc> i copied and pasted and did everything this website says https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ntfs-3g
[01:48] <Who_> so xbrc: all you probably need to do is push the upwards cursor at the terminal (should recall last command) push home to go to the beginning of the line and add 'sudo ' to make it 'sudo mount <a load of args I don't know :)>'
[01:48] <paLindr0me> can some one help me ?
[01:48] <xbrc> yeah on that site sudo is before everything you type.
[01:48] <Who_> xbrc: I gotta go, really sorry - it's family christmas time :) go with using sudo before the mount command - good luck!!
[01:49] <Intelligitimate> The Live CD doesn't boot Ubuntu for an IBM Think Pad T22. I need some help.
[01:49] <xbrc> yeah i did, but merry xmas
[01:49] <wastrel> paLindr0me:  can't help if we don't know the prob ;]
[01:49] <Who_> xbrc: sorry - trust me, stick with Linux for a while and you won't look back :)
[01:49] <vladi> xbrc: you just want to mount your ntfs drive right? and your ntfs drive is on sda5?
[01:49] <xbrc> yes
[01:49] <xbrc> that is the whole drive..
[01:50] <xbrc> i was dedicated to my media/msuic
[01:50] <vladi> ok
[01:50] <vladi> you got a terminal open right?
[01:50] <xbrc> it is in ntfs format
[01:50] <xbrc> yes.
[01:50] <vladi> ok
[01:50] <vladi> cd /mnt
[01:50] <vladi> sudo mkdir windows
[01:50] <vladi> sudo mount /dev/sda5 windows
[01:50] <vladi> this should mount your drive in /mnt/windows but you wont be able to write to it, only read from it, as root
[01:50] <hanasaki> anyway to get flash 9? java 6? on edgy?
[01:51] <wastrel> !flash9
[01:51] <ubotu> flash9 is available from dapper-backports and edgy-backports now, see !backports
[01:51] <vladi> so to see its contents, you would so 'sudo ls windows' (in the /mnt directory)
[01:51] <Intelligitimate> Does the Live CD boot correctly for an IBM ThinkPad T22?
[01:51] <wastrel> dunno from java
[01:51] <paLindr0me> vladi : can u help me? i cant compile...it says gcc not found
[01:51] <wizard> Hey all.  I just got an HP Officejet 5610 for Christmas.  It prints fine, but Xsane doesn't detect it as a scanner.  I also don't know how to set it up as a fax in openoffice.  After I follow the fax config settings, it asks for a command line to communicate with my device.  I don't know where to find/learn this...  Any help is appreciated.

[01:53] <paLindr0me> i dont have working internet connection cos i use pppoe i need to compile that,is ubuntu 6.06 support pppoe?
[01:53] <TheSilentWarrior> hey guys, anyone has a wireless connection using RT73 driver for usb conceptronic adapter ? need help installing it (i am noob xD)
[01:54] <vox754> paLindr0me, of course it is supported, you just have to be more specific in your actions
[01:55] <paLindr0me> how do i create pppoe connection,im using wireless
[01:55] <vladi> xbrc: did that work?
[01:55] <magic_ninja> anyone know some good bin to iso conversion software or how to mount a bin/cue file type
[01:55] <wastrel> pppoe over wireless?
[01:55] <paLindr0me> yes
[01:55] <paLindr0me> ...
[01:55] <wastrel> pppoeow
[01:55] <vox754> paLindr0me,  now, that is your problem, PPPoE is easy, but setting a wireless card is troublesome
[01:55] <xbrc> yeah it listed the content.. but how to do make it so I can click on the files?
[01:56] <paLindr0me> i set up my card
[01:56] <paLindr0me> and its working fine
[01:56] <magic_ninja> IndyGunFreak: ok ty anyway

[01:56] <magic_ninja> IndyGunFreak: there are a lot of lines going through this chan though :-)
[01:56] <Slart> magic_ninja: bchunk.. it's in the repos
[01:56] <TheSilentWarrior> hey guys, anyone has a wireless connection using RT73 driver for usb conceptronic adapter ? need help installing it (i am noob xD)
[01:56] <IndyGunFreak> i understand, no prob.
[01:57] <vladi> xbrc: yea this will only let you copy the files from the drive to another drive, not much else
[01:57] <vladi> xbrc: i havnt really messed around with the 3g drivers so cant help much there
[01:57] <Slart> magic_ninja: I tried it on some binc/cue files from windows games.. worked fine.. simple command line execution
[01:58] <xbrc> vladi: yeah i followed these instructions to create a drive to access the main drive and it is not working :(
[01:59] <curs0r> any reason why a cheapie usb digital cam wouldn't work with linux?
[01:59] <Robby> hi
[01:59] <vladi> xbrc: did you edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file to add in the new repos?
[01:59] <haxality> hello again, I was wondering if it's possible to set the default icon size to 75% in nautilus
[02:00] <xbrc> vladi: yeah i went through the whole thing here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ntfs-3g
[02:00] <Intelligitimate> I really need help.  It gets all the way to making the Login sound, but then doesn't go any further.
[02:00] <Intelligitimate> What do I need to do?
[02:01] <wastrel> login sound you mean gnome starts up?
[02:01] <xbrc> vladi: the only part I couldn't figure out was that it said to change the drive from whatever to this /dev/<your partition> /media/<mount point> ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0 but my drive wasnt listed on there.. so I added the line with the new mounting point.
[02:01] <Intelligitimate> But I don't see anything, wastrel.
[02:02] <Intelligitimate> It makes the startup sound though.
[02:02] <wastrel> can you do ctrl-alt-f1 to get a shell prompt?
[02:02] <Robby> What is the best package when I want to see  Macromedia Flash in Firefox?  There are many... and I am not sure what version of Flash I get.... here is the URL::               http://pastebin.com/844913
[02:02] <apokryphos> Robby: take a look at the FAQ (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions) as linked to in the channel /topic
[02:02] <vladi> xbrc: can you open up fstab and paste the entry here?
[02:02] <Intelligitimate> Possibly. I'll try that in a minute.
[02:03] <Intelligitimate> But then what?
[02:03] <xbrc> # /etc/fstab: static file system information.

[02:03] <kitche> vladi: why did you tell him to do that?
[02:03] <Intelligitimate> Naughty xbrc!
[02:03] <kitche> Intelligitimate: actually it was vladi
[02:03] <vladi> kitche: i told him to paste the entry
[02:03] <Nontitle> oh well... it works for now
[02:03] <vladi> not the whole file
[02:03] <waterpear> yes
[02:03] <Robby> apokryphos, already looked there
[02:03] <xbrc> sorry.. didnt mean to paste that if i wasnt suppose to
[02:03] <Robby> and I did something wrong some days ago
[02:03] <Robby> so I wanna make sure
[02:03] <vladi> ok, xbrc, have you created the folder /media/win32 ?
[02:04] <xbrc> vladi: yeah
[02:04] <waterpear> and are you sure is's sda5
[02:04] <apokryphos> RobbeZ: then you'd know what to do
[02:04] <magic_ninja> !automatix
[02:04] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[02:04] <Nontitle> chances are its sda1
[02:04] <xbrc> yeah i listed the drive like it said to do
[02:04] <haboy_> what media in ubuntu that supports a ogm? whats ogm? is it a video?
[02:04] <paLindr0me> can some one please tell me how do i create PPPoE....? what shoud i tipe ?
[02:04] <xbrc> when i did what vladi told me earlier it listed the files.. so the drive is right
[02:05] <waterpear> haboy_, ogm is an ogg encoded movie
[02:05] <Nontitle> waterpear: OGG Theora?
[02:05] <haboy_> waterpear: so its just another format for a video file
[02:05] <haboy_> ogm!
[02:05] <vladi> xbrc: so you rebooted, and when you type ls /media/win32 it doenst list anything?
[02:05] <haboy_> !ogm

[02:08] <waterpear> i *think* it has subtitles though

[02:08] <sam> Anyone know how to get the sound working>

[02:24] <bruenig> hmmm, the topic appears to endorse an unsustainable policy, that of recognizing religious holidays. If it doesn't recognize all it is discriminatory

[02:31] <RobbeZ> Is the difference between kubuntu and ubuntu strictly the kde thing ?  and if so, can you swap back a kubuntu distro to a gnobuntu ?
[02:31] <KnowledgEngi> how can i convert a ogg file to mp3 ?
[02:31] <sam> hrmm
[02:31] <apokryphos> RobbeZ: kubuntu and ubuntu can both be installed quite easily at the same time
[02:31] <apokryphos> RobbeZ: take a look at the FAQ (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions) as linked to in the channel /topic
[02:31] <RobbeZ> knowledgEngi : mediacoder

[02:32] <SuPeRhAm> it comes with it CheyenneD
[02:32] <Matthe1> please pm me
[02:32] <sam> vox754: here is a quick q are there usually sound issues in ubuntu ?
[02:32] <RobbeZ> apokryphos : so they are exactly alike, but instead of starting with gnome, they start with kde ?
[02:32] <vox754> sam, in a terminal "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart". No, I don't think many people have issues with sound.
[02:32] <TheSilentWarrior> hey guys, anyone has a wireless connection using RT73 driver for usb conceptronic adapter ?
[02:33] <Kilzin> Hey guys, I just burned the 6.06 Ubuntu Live CD and I have problems loading X when not in Safe Graphics Mode. I'm quite new to Linux. Could anyone help?
[02:33] <apokryphos> RobbeZ: pretty much.
[02:33] <saxofoner> Heyyy
[02:33] <jimmygoon> does anyone know if there is a way to do a NON-interactive password change?
[02:33] <apokryphos> Kilzin: what's the error that you get?
[02:33] <SpacePuppy> jimmygoon: you need to explain what that means.. .lol
[02:33] <vox754> sam, mostly with video drivers. Since you have an ATI, maybe you should investigate on that.
[02:34] <SpacePuppy> jimmygoon: or what it is that you want to do
[02:34] <jimmygoon> I need to issue a command "passwd USERNAME PASSWORD" and have it changed
[02:34] <sam> vox i've restarted alsa now what?
[02:34] <jimmygoon> it can run as sudo if necessary

[02:34] <ubotu> k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto
[02:34] <Matthe1> or is there a way to tell ubuntu what device is plugged into the usb port?
[02:35] <SpacePuppy> jimmygoon: so what have you tried that hasn't worked?
[02:35] <RobbeZ> apokryphos : you wouldn't happen to know if v7 will have a graphical grub, that can be modified trough GrubEd for example ?
[02:35] <Kilzin> apokryphos: When Gnome is supposed to load, I get a blue and red screen with tons of weird symbols and it says X has had problems with configuration. I've also read it involves xorg.conf but I guess you know that.
[02:35] <jimmygoon> yep
[02:35] <sam> vox754: tried to play the sound again still dont work
[02:35] <jimmygoon> can I do some piping...?
[02:35] <apokryphos> RobbeZ: I know that Kubuntu will have one; Ubuntu probably will.  I recommend doing this when it happens: <ctrl><alt><f1> and then typing sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, and just walk through the wizard. More info here:
[02:36] <apokryphos> !resolution | Kilzin

[02:37] <sam> vox754?
[02:37] <vox754> sam, I don't know. ... search the forums ... look at your keyboard, press "Fn" and sound icons, do stuff, move the things, ...
[02:37] <saxofoner> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=325250   ----Anybody know how to find tablet config properties in Ubuntu?  xorg seems to be of no use in my case...
[02:38] <sam> vox754: thx winxp sounds much easier i dont wanna reck my brain tryin to fix a sound issue thanks for everything tho
[02:38] <RobbeZ> apokryphos : is their a possibility to vote for the inclussion of certain packages, like VLC (easy 2 add), or Beryl (nightmare ish)
[02:38] <bruenig> worth the hundreds of dollars I guess
[02:38] <Kilzin> Thanks apokryphos, I,ll try it and be back
[02:38] <Music_Shuffle> bruenig, to each his own ;P
[02:38] <Music_Shuffle> his/her, to be PC.
[02:38] <saxofoner> Heh.... I got WinXP Pro for free
[02:38] <apokryphos> RobbeZ: you can post wishes in the bugtracker, but vlc won't be included by default for legal reasons, and there is already a spec to have a composite manager installed by default in feisty
[02:39] <KnowledgEngi> sond converter do not convert to mp3
[02:39] <yurik> anyone know where i can get opensolaris?
[02:39] <apokryphos> RobbeZ: whether it will be beryl or compiz, though, hasn't been decided
[02:39] <bruenig> I suppose, if you have the money might as well. I mean if I had a scratch on my car but could buff it out with a little bit of effort or pay hundreds of dollars to take it to a body shop, I guess it depends on how much money you have as to what you might do
[02:39] <fushidamn> I got a copy of XP Pro for free in my last school (college) to bad the school was not free.. haha
[02:39] <LameBMX> hi everyone
[02:39] <apokryphos> RobbeZ: most probably it will be compiz, though
[02:39] <Music_Shuffle> apokryphos, is it leaning one way so far?
[02:39] <dm> synic r u here?
[02:39] <Music_Shuffle> Ahh, ok.
[02:40] <LameBMX> how do i keep my monitor from going to sleep after 10 minutes or sooo ... system power options didnt fix that ... !?!?!?
[02:40] <apokryphos> Music_Shuffle: compiz packs have been around in universe for ages, and I believe there still aren't any beryl packages in yet.
[02:40] <DigitalNinja> is there a way to tell dpkg or something else to install all the dependencies? I'm trying to install the debain version of webmin.
[02:40] <RobbeZ> apokryphos : hmmz, and why can't they have both ?  I know the disc space, but as a easy extra for instance ?
[02:40] <gr0k3m> can't find package vlc? do I need to add some non-standard sources?
[02:40] <apokryphos> Music_Shuffle: also, during open week I saw a couple of devs saying they'd prefer to go down the compiz route.
[02:40] <idlemind> in your monitors controls maybe?
[02:40] <apokryphos> RobbeZ: because only one can be default
[02:40] <Music_Shuffle> Yeah I don't think there are without following all the install guides for Beryl.  Although I love it much. xD
[02:40] <RobbeZ> apokryphos: :-)
[02:41] <apokryphos> there might be the other one available in universe, but can't really say yet.
[02:41] <bruenig> LameBMX, on xfce, it is attached to the screensaver settings, so maybe that is the case for gnome too
[02:41] <fushidamn> I do not see why you cannot have both installed, only one can be default but that does not mean you cannot start the other one
[02:41] <kitche> beryl is not in universe, but beryl-project has their own repo
[02:41] <PORDO> woah!  i changed my sources.list, and now i'm back to the old Xscreensaver, instead of the modern edgy thing with my picture in it.
[02:41] <gr0k3m> 'apt-get install vlc' should just work right?
[02:41] <yurik> anyone know where i can get opensolaris?
[02:41] <PORDO> ugg...where is like an "official" sources.list?
[02:42] <fushidamn> I still have both versions of firefox 1.5/2.0 installed and I was having to use 1.5 for realplayer till I figured out how to import the plugins correctly
[02:42] <apokryphos> fushidamn: because we don't want a load of window managers all over the place. It will already include metacity and a composite manager
[02:42] <LameBMX> worth a shot .. i think its an apci issue myself cuz gentoo n vector both did it also
[02:42] <kitche> yurik: that is offtopic but try sun's website
[02:42] <bruenig> vector is ugly
[02:42] <yurik> k thanks
[02:42] <fushidamn> yurik, yeah, go to sun's sight, that is where I got my copy

[02:43] <Intangir> hey guys, how can i play a DVD on linux?
[02:43] <fushidamn> you have to register, give em so info and email address so that can spam you, but the OS is free and the spam is somewhat relevent to its use
[02:43] <vox754> gr0k3m, yes, they are in universe, multiverse
[02:43] <Intangir> totem says it cant handle it
[02:44] <PORDO> Intangir you can try gmplayer, or gxine...
[02:44] <PORDO> stuff like that.
[02:44] <fushidamn> yea, intangir, so into synaptic and add universe and multiverse and then you can get the codecs
[02:44] <fushidamn> I just did that earlier
[02:44] <jimmygoon> Can you do something on the command line to pass a script arguments that will fill in input slots?
[02:44] <fushidamn> you need xine for totem
[02:44] <Matthe1> so is anyone able to help me or not?
[02:45] <Intangir> PORDO: i got mplayer

[02:46] <PORDO> i don't understand what automatix does that aptitude doesn't already do.
[02:47] <gr0k3m> vox754, cheers
[02:47] <PORDO> or that apt-get doesn't already do.
[02:47] <fushidamn> intangir, you need the codecs to play mpegs and what not
[02:47] <Intangir> i got all the codecs
[02:47] <vox754> gr0k3m, what? It Worked?
[02:47] <Intangir> but nothing seems to know how to open this up with the dvd's menu and all..
[02:47] <fushidamn> so what error are you getting?
[02:47] <Nontitle> eilker: you should describe it a little more than that
[02:47] <yurik> cheyenneD what os are you connecting with?
[02:48] <Intangir> how exactly am i supposed to open it on gmplayer?
[02:48] <CheyenneD> 6.10
[02:48] <Intangir> i dont get an error, i just have nothing to open
[02:48] <Intangir> oh totem said something
[02:48] <yurik> mac os 6.10?
[02:48] <fushidamn> if nothing else, right click and pick the player you want to play the video/movie
[02:48] <Intangir> but iforgot what, i never use totem though i use mplayer for just about everything else
[02:48] <Intangir> k let me try that brb
[02:48] <juano> any one encountered a Warning: .dmrc file should have 644 permissions .. etc. etc at login in gnome ??

[02:50] <KnowledgEngi> soundconverter do not consent me to convert to mp3
[02:50] <vox754> Somebody (sam) was asking how to set up the sound system and I screwed up badly. So, I have found this page to troubleshoot sound cards and their drivers http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449

[02:54] <saxofoner> ubotu is my homeboy!
[02:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about is my homeboy! - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:54] <saxofoner> ROFL
[02:54] <CheyenneD> LOL
[02:55] <bruenig> hmm
[02:55] <fushidamn> I forget there are bots in here
[02:55] <gr0k3m> vox754, vlc rules, is there a better movieplayer?
[02:56] <saxofoner> !bots
[02:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bots - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:56] <vox754> Intangir, try different players. I couldn't use gxine, nor totem, but mplayer and vlc work great
[02:56] <bruenig> totem
[02:56] <hope13> um
[02:57] <PORDO> can i remove KDE and still run Qt apps?
[02:57] <hope13> what linux program open .mkv?
[02:57] <vox754> gr0k3m, many guys suggest "mplayer" or "gmplayer"
[02:57] <waterpear> PORDO, sort of
[02:57] <waterpear> if you get rid of kdelibs, no
[02:57] <saxofoner> !who
[02:57] <ubotu> As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say, or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[02:57] <saxofoner> wow
[02:57] <PORDO> can someone give me a nice, stable, official sources.list?
[02:57] <saxofoner> Sorry, I'll stop playing w/ the bots now
[02:57] <PORDO> i can't fine one to save my life.
[02:58] <fushidamn> there seems to be a lot of support for mplayer so that is why a lot of people suggest it, so I guess
[02:58] <hope13> !mkv

[02:58] <theflyingfool> does anyone know if the evolution junk filter is as good as the one in thunderbird
[02:58] <bruenig> PORDO, what are you running edgy or dapper
[02:58] <gr0k3m> vox754, mplayer is pretty cool... used by XboxMediaCenter which is excellent
[02:59] <saxofoner> http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/  PORDO
[02:59] <hope13> what's the command to dl mplayer?
[02:59] <hope13> sudo get-apt mplayer?
[02:59] <vox754> hope13, yes
[02:59] <bruenig> hope13, sudo apt-get install mplayuer
[02:59] <MybMybMybMyb> mplayer is used by Xbox Media Center??? that thing is sweeeet!
[02:59] <hope13> oh
[02:59] <bruenig> mplayer*
[02:59] <waterpear> it's sudo apt-get install mplayer
[02:59] <hope13> thx
[03:00] <Kilzin> Hello people, I'm trying Ubuntu on the Live CD and I have a little problem. When I launch in Safe Graphics Mode, all goes fine. The problem is when I load in normal mode. X fails to load with the error "No screen found". My videocard is an MSI NX7600GS and I have two screens plugged on it (I use dual screens on Windows). Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing the problem?
[03:00] <waterpear> though you can replace apt-get with aptitude and it'll do almost the same thing
[03:00] <Intelligitimate> I am trying to create a Linux parition on an IMB T22. The Windows partition is messed up and I don't have the XP CD to fix, so I decided to try installing Ubuntu. I keep getting a "failed to create enough space for installation" error, probably because the Windows partition is fragmented. I can't boot into Windows to defrag it. I need some solutions.
[03:01] <PORDO> edgy
[03:01] <PORDO> bruenig
[03:01] <saxofoner> PORDO: http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/
[03:01] <hope13> Kilzin: maybe your video card is not supported >,> or something
[03:01] <Intangir> i installed libdvdcss and it still wont work
[03:01] <bruenig> PORDO, here is a pretty good sources.list with pretty much all the repos. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38828/
[03:01] <PORDO> some change i just made caused my screen saver to revert to Xscreensaver, without the photo and the nice modern look.
[03:01] <bruenig> all the official repos*
[03:01] <Kilzin> hope13: Does that mean I have to change video cards?
[03:02] <hope13> kilzin: i mean maybe ubuntu doesn't support your video card
[03:02] <avuton> How do I change my default application in ubuntu when I put in an audio cd?
[03:02] <bruenig> Intangir, try this, sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[03:03] <Kilzin> hope13: Exactly, that means if I want ubuntu to work on my comp, I have to change videocards?
[03:03] <yurik> how do i register
[03:03] <bruenig> Intangir, also, sudo apt-get install totem-xine if you haven't already. Then try opening in totem
[03:03] <hope13> Intelligitimate: I think you suppose to re-install window and force it to partition it in two drive; 1 for window the other for linux
[03:03] <PORDO> what is beryl?
[03:03] <yurik> i keep typing /msg nickserv ... and nothing seems to be working
[03:03] <vox754> Kilzin, if you really want to install Ubuntu, give it a try with just one monitor; then you might be able to solve your problem by reconfiguring X.
[03:03] <Intelligitimate> I don't have the CD to reinstall, hope13.
[03:03] <bruenig> Intangir, don't do the sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[03:03] <bruenig> Intangir, I don't know what I was thinking, it won't hurt, just unnecessary
[03:03] <john_> Hello
[03:03] <Kilzin> vox754: Would the graphic interface load if I unplugged one screen?
[03:04] <PORDO> woah..it's a window manager? no way.
[03:04] <kcinna> i'm having trouble playing wmv videos. VLC will play the audio but not the video
[03:04] <vox754> Kilzin, sure, try it first with the Live CD
[03:04] <jengc0il> nothlit:
[03:04] <hope13> Intelligitimate: then it won't work I think; Your Window  format your harddrive as NTFS or whatever and linux uses something else; that's probably why my linux for dummies advise to use window to partition first;
[03:04] <john_> Hey, why everytime i put my wificard to master it gives an error
[03:04] <jengc0il> nothlit:
[03:05] <con-man> john_ because you touch yourself at night
[03:05] <PORDO> how can i get rid of KDE but still have Qt support for apps like Twinkle?
[03:05] <jengc0il> nothlit: i change dapper to edgy in source list
[03:05] <PORDO> con-man hey now.
[03:05] <hope13> Intelligitimate: If you don't want Window and just want Linux; you can erase your whole harddrive
[03:05] <nGen> Can i do to remove XGL and Compiz of my Ubuntu?
[03:05] <Intelligitimate> hope13, I think I can possibly boot up DOS from a CD, and then download a program than can defrag an NTFS from Dos, and then retry the Ubuntu partition.
[03:05] <john_> thats real good help con-man
[03:05] <Goldfisch> kcinna: Did you try using automatix to install the codecs?
[03:05] <bruenig> nGen, #ubuntu-xgl
[03:05] <con-man> its family guy
[03:05] <con-man> havent you guys ever seen family guy
[03:06] <LameBMX> yea
[03:06] <con-man> le sigh
[03:06] <john_> Shaddap Mr scrooge.
[03:06] <bh_> Any pointers to a Ubuntu recovery disk or iso image ? I need to recover a block
[03:06] <kcinna> Goldfisch: nope, will do
[03:06] <nGen> bruenig, thanks
[03:06] <Fjodor> Any ideas why my combo drive won't recognise DVD's? It just gives "no medium found"
[03:07] <hope13> Intelligitimate: I'mma read my linux for dummies book for a sec mm
[03:07] <PORDO> that source-o-matic thing is awesome.
[03:08] <bruenig> Fjodor, hardware failure is on idea that I have
[03:08] <john_> So yeah, how can i fix my wifi card, It wont go to master.
[03:08] <bruenig> s/on/one
[03:08] <CheyenneD> How do I start the vnc server and can i use a vnc client
[03:09] <john_> I wanna use my Laptop as a Access Point.
[03:09] <PORDO> where do i get the gpg keys for my sourceomatic list?
[03:09] <borg> anybody know a thing or two about firefox and themes where the buttons have too much extra padding around them?
[03:09] <magic_ninja> if umount says device or resource busy is there a way to workaroudn it
[03:09] <bh_> Does anybody have a pointer to a small recovery image ?
[03:09] <bruenig> PORDO, they are in the list. They should be in comments right above the respective repository
[03:09] <PORDO> oh duh, it's in the list.
[03:10] <Fjodor> bruenig: Could be, but I found some entries the other day on google suggesting a kernel upgrade. Just wanted to hear if anyone knew about it
[03:10] <vox754> bh_, what do you mean by that "recovery image", recovery for what?
[03:10] <kcinna> Goldfisch: arg, same deal
[03:10] <Goldfisch> bh_: The Live CD can be used as a recovery disk. Do you not have one? It is the same CD (since dapper) also used to install ubuntu.
[03:10] <bh_> for recovery of a boot sector so that I can get grub back
[03:10] <bruenig> Fjodor, maybe, I just know that my combo drive had failure where it couldn't see cds anymore, bought a new drive, works great
[03:11] <bh_> if I can boot into ubuntu I should be able to reinstall grub
[03:11] <CheyenneD> borg: What re you trying to do in Firefox?
[03:11] <Fjodor> bruenig: Fair enough. Thing is, it's a brand new laptop
[03:11] <kitche> bh_: you cna do that with the live cd
[03:11] <bh_> anything small than that ?
[03:11] <borg> CheyenneD, it seems like all the good compact themes in firefox before 2.0 now have too much button padding in the navigation bar in 2.0
[03:11] <borg> makes them look ugly
[03:12] <bh_> I've had a lot of problem with this portable and the live cd, but I didn't with networking CD
[03:12] <saxofoner> Is there a good channel for wacom tablets?  heheh #wacom doesn't work...
[03:12] <Goldfisch> kcinna: My list of automatix multimedia installed's include => AUD-DVD codecs, flash player, listen media manager, mplayer and ff plugin, media players, multimedia codecs, and realplayer.
[03:12] <fushidamn> what is\ wacom
[03:13] <CheyenneD> borg: you looking for a small theme
[03:13] <borg> ya CheyenneD
[03:13] <siarhei> hi all, can anyone help me with nVidia driver? Got GeForce 7300 GT PCI-E. X server crashes
[03:13] <kitche> fushidamn, a touch screen or a artist pad on tablet pcs
[03:13] <Intelligitimate> Bad news, I don't think I can get to DOS with XP. There is only a recovery console that comes with the XP disk.
[03:13] <kcinna> Goldfisch: yeah, mine has all those listed too
[03:13] <vox754> bh_, the Knoppix Live CD supports lots of hardware, maybe you could use it to install grub
[03:13] <fushidamn> thanks
[03:14] <thehumanerror> Does anyone use SoundConverter?
[03:14] <Stormx2> merry boxing day
[03:14] <thehumanerror> it's one of the "extra" GNOME programs
[03:14] <thehumanerror> yeh, that
[03:14] <bh_> vox754 what about a small image ?
[03:14] <fushidamn> intelligitimate....that works, if you can get into the recovery console
[03:14] <surfbuddy> can anyone have a look at my problem pleeease ; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=324902
[03:14] <Zell> hello world!
[03:14] <Intelligitimate> I can't, fushidawn.
[03:14] <hope13> intelligitimate does your window os work?
[03:14] <hope13> lol
[03:14] <kitche> bh_: the smallest iso you can get is probably sysrescuecd
[03:14] <fushidamn> intelligitimate, but I think you said earlier that you dont have the cd
[03:15] <Intelligitimate> No, hope13.
[03:15] <Intelligitimate> And I don't have the disk.
[03:15] <PORDO> help. gpg --export --armor 437D05B5 | sudo apt-key add

[03:15] <cafuego_> PORDO: you need to add a - to that coomand
[03:15] <Intelligitimate> Windows doesn't work, it is fragmented so I can't partition the drive, and I don't have the CD. It won't boot in any safe mode or anything.
[03:15] <cafuego_>  gpg --export --armor 437D05B5 | sudo apt-key add -
[03:15] <bh_> kitche where can I get that
[03:15] <bh_> ?
[03:15] <Intelligitimate> Yes, hope13.
[03:15] <PORDO> cafuego_ ah!
[03:15] <vox754> bh_, Maybe you could set a floppy disk with grub on it and use it to repair what you want. That floppy would be a "small image"
[03:16] <Intelligitimate> Or at least put something I can use (ubuntu) on the drive, hope13.
[03:16] <bh_> vox754 a couple of MB is ok as well, this is a slow DSL line
[03:16] <N3m0> can i use windows datafiles like music, divx, porns on kubuntu guys ?
[03:16] <saxofoner> porns?
[03:16] <bh_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[03:16] <saxofoner> sure
[03:16] <saxofoner> ...
[03:16] <Zell> time to read the help
[03:16] <bh_> What about that ?
[03:16] <avuton> How do I change my default application in ubuntu when I put in an audio cd?
[03:16] <N3m0> i'm new :p
[03:16] <hope13> Intelligitimate: Do you know how your window got mess up?
[03:16] <siarhei> can anyone help me out with nvidia drivers?
[03:16] <Intelligitimate> No I don't, hope13.
[03:16] <Zell> same here N3m0
[03:16] <N3m0> well... i was on windows 20 minutes ago so i mean "real" new ^^
[03:17] <hope13> Intelligitimate: You can't go to safe mode and then system restore window?
[03:17] <LameBMX> N3m0, yes you can
[03:17] <Goldfisch> I don't think "fragmented" is the term used for unbootable. Maybe "corrupted" is more accurate. Fragmented just means files are lining up inside contiguous sectors of disk space. Can you boot from a Live CD, mount the windows partition and recover any files?
[03:17] <LameBMX> welcome N3m0
[03:17] <vox754> bh_, yeah, we forgot about that. When you have a fast connection you don't care to much about downloading entire DVD images
[03:17] <LameBMX> im new myself
[03:17] <kitche> bh_: http://www.sysresccd.org/
[03:17] <Intelligitimate> How do I mount the Windows partition, Goldfisch?
[03:17] <cafuego_> vox754: weeellll they still take MINUTES to download ;-)
[03:17] <lasindi_office> Hi all, I'm running Xubuntu 6.06.1, and I'm trying to get a Netgear WG111v2 wireless card running. I've gone through this guide (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=212365) and everything appears to work except that when I do dhclient on the card, I don't get an IP address. Any ideas?
[03:18] <N3m0> Ty LameBMX
[03:18] <LameBMX> N3m0,  you may want to snag vlc media player ..
[03:18] <Intelligitimate> No, hope13. Nothing works like that. Not rebooting from last good boot or anything.  And are you using a SATA drive, or ATA?
[03:18] <Nontitle> N3m0: what are porns?
[03:18] <CheyenneD> How do I start the vnc server and can i use a vnc client?
[03:18] <pkh> is pptp the best option to set up a vpn between ubuntu/winxp clients and an ubuntu server?
[03:18] <vox754> lasindi_office, maybe is the router.
[03:18] <N3m0> LameBMX i'm new also on IRC so i don't know how to answer with that red stuff of you
[03:18] <Intelligitimate> I don't know, Goldfisch. It is a IBM ThinkPad T22.
[03:18] <saxofoner> Intelligitimate: Whenever i access my windows part. thru ubuntu, and then boot windows, I get sasser worm symptoms.  I wouldn't reccomend it...
[03:18] <cafuego_> pkh: No, but it's the easiest way.
[03:18] <LameBMX> N3m0, it worked right out of the box ... goto synaptic package manager .. search for vlc .. get vlcplayer
[03:18] <N3m0> Nontitle ==> Porn is a bug
[03:18] <saxofoner> And no, I don't have sasser
[03:18] <FeliLixTKhat> Intelligitmate... Perhaps You might find the freedos wed site useful. www.freedos.org.  If you can't boot, and do not have any system disks, you could boot DOS and try repairing your Windows partition with the tools available on their site.
[03:18] <Nontitle> oh
[03:19] <fushidamn> no, it is not boot from last good, it is really boot from last boot intelligitimate, that does not mean it was good
[03:19] <pkh> cafuego_, that sounds like what I'm after...
[03:19] <LameBMX> N3m0,  its red when you put their nick in it and in a chan like this it helps to see who is talking to who
[03:19] <Intelligitimate> You can't boot DOS with XP, FeliLixTKhat. XP isn't like Windows 98, it doesn't sit on top of DOS.
[03:19] <Goldfisch> Well, you can figure out the partition layout of any drive by typing: sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda
[03:19] <hope13> >,>
[03:19] <CheyenneD> How do I start the vnc server and can i use a vnc client?
[03:20] <lasindi_office> vox754: no, I've tried turning encryption off on the router as well, and still no luck.
[03:20] <Nontitle> xp, 2000 and nt don't use dos, 95, 98 and Me do
[03:20] <LameBMX> N3m0, search the wiki for ntfs-3g @ wiki.ubuntu.com
[03:20] <Goldfisch> The device /dev/hda maps to the first ATA disk drive in your system. /dev/hdb is the second, and so forth. SATA drives usually go /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc.
[03:20] <N3m0> i'll do
[03:20] <cafuego_> Nontitle: as does 3.11, wfw and 3.1
[03:20] <N3m0> ty very much for the answers
[03:20] <hope13> Intelligitimate: If you can't fix window xp; the Ubuntu cd can completely erase your harddrive and install Ubuntu >,>
[03:20] <Nontitle> wfw?
[03:20] <LameBMX> N3m0, so you can access what is on your ntfs partition (windows)
[03:20] <Goldfisch> fdisk -l just dumps out the partition layout, without going into any partition edit mode.
[03:20] <lasindi_office> CheyenneD: Go to System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop to configure vino (the VNC server)
[03:20] <vox754> lasindi_office, use a static IP, maybe that'll work
[03:21] <Goldfisch> Maybe ubuntu has some GUI for looking up partition information, but I know the CLI way of doing things.
[03:21] <lasindi_office> vox754: afraid that doesn't work either; I'm pretty certain the issue is with my card specifically
[03:21] <N3m0> LameBMW , I think it's fat32 but i'm sure 100%
[03:21] <N3m0> not
[03:21] <Robinator> I just wanted to installed "apache2"  and there is a package which has to be REMOVED ... this fact makes me worry.  Please look at this:  http://pastebin.com/844952
[03:21] <Intelligitimate> Typing that in the command line doesn't tell me anything I can make sense of, Goldfisch. What exactly tells me whether it is ATA or SATA?
[03:21] <Goldfisch> Intelligimate: My thinking is also, mount the windows partition, recover what data files you want, and then consider wiping it for an ubuntu installation. Don't know what your home usage requirements are, exactly.
[03:22] <vox754> lasindi_office, didn't you say it worked?
[03:22] <thehumanerror> Ubuntu doesn't have a GUI tool for looking up the partition information any more, it got removed in 6.10
[03:22] <lasindi_office> vox754: no, I meant that when I actually try to use the card to connect, I can't (which in this case means I can't get an IP address)
[03:22] <Intelligitimate> This is not my computer, Goldfisch. The person would be willing to use Ubuntu, but he wants to recover some important files at least.
[03:22] <PORDO> why is there no gstreamer vorbis for 0.10?  i can't play vorbis?!
[03:23] <Goldfisch> Intelligitimate: SATA drives have a smaller connecting cable, compare to ATA, which uses the wide, thin ribbon cable inside the case. SATA mean Serial ATA drive. See => http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.usb-ware.com/images/7-pin-sata-cable.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.usb-ware.com/sata-cables.htm&h=185&w=200&sz=10&tbnid=rUJ5nwDX2TAOOM:&tbnh=96&tbnw=104&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dsata%2Bcable&start=1&sa=X&oi=images&ct=image&cd=1
[03:23] <Intelligitimate> I can't get in the case of the labtop very easily, Goldfisch.
[03:23] <Goldfisch> Duh, sorry, I didn't notice you were talking about laptop.
[03:23] <fushidamn> Goldfisch:  I think intelligitimate was talking about how to tell the difference from the shell output, not physically
[03:24] <vox754> lasindi_office, then I'm telling you, don't wait for the router to give you an address, you set it static and see the results
[03:24] <thehumanerror> Intelligitimate, you could try browsing System > Device Manager and looking at the ATA controller in the computer, Device Manager might pull some information that'll help
[03:24] <axelf> hihi, I kinda screwed up my ubuntu install, nothing it really working, is there an apt command I can use to reinstall everything?
[03:24] <borg> does anyone know why firefox gives too much padding to it's buttons in the nagivation bar?
[03:24] <vox754> PORDO, vorbis is a free codec, it should be supported by every Linux player
[03:24] <borg> anyone know how i can fix that properly with userChrome.css?
[03:25] <thehumanerror> you can have my userChrome.css if you like :)
[03:25] <axelf> (I installed ok and has been working fine for a month I just broke it
[03:25] <LameBMX> Intelligitimate, fdisk -l
[03:25] <borg> yes can i have yours, thehumanerror ?
[03:25] <LameBMX> will tell you all partitions ... if they are sda sda
[03:25] <thehumanerror> oh yeah :)
[03:25] <Intelligitimate> I did that already. I'm not sure what the shell output is supposed to tell me how I know what kind of drive it is.
[03:25] <thehumanerror> I didn't think of that...
[03:25] <lasindi_office> vox754: right, but I'm saying that doesn't work either; the only reason I'm mentioning the IP address is because that is normally the last step. But even if I assign it a static IP, I can't talk to the rest of the network.
[03:25] <Intelligitimate> Or why that matters.
[03:25] <vox754> axelf, just use again the Live CD to format everything
[03:25] <LameBMX> then its sata (unless the lappy is a mac .. then its scsi
[03:25] <LameBMX> and mac's dont use ide anyways
[03:25] <thehumanerror> uhm, not since about 1992
[03:26] <thehumanerror> as far as I know
[03:26] <LameBMX> hda1 hda2 ... IDE
[03:26] <hope13> How do I play .mkv files? Mplayer & VLC doesn't work .
[03:26] <LameBMX> sda1 sda1 ... sata
[03:26] <thehumanerror> but your advice is sound
[03:26] <Intelligitimate> It says hda1.
[03:26] <Goldfisch> I have a sample dumped out on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38830/. I have both an ATA drive and a SATA drive. You just need to try /dev/hda, /dev/sda, until you hit some paydirt.
[03:26] <FeliLixTKhat> Intelligitimate.... besides DOS, there's DSL (Damn Small Linux) and Puppy Linux..... Both are under 50 Meg in size for the complete system.  If your Motherboard's BIOS can boot from USB these Linux systems can be loaded on a USB memory stick, or burned to a CD ROM. either way they they loop your windows file system so at least you can have access to your Windows drive.
[03:26] <borg> thehumanerror, can i have your userChrome.css file?
[03:27] <vox754> hope13, they should work, I've read people using them without trouble. Look under options or preferences for mplayer

[03:27] <mboso> anyone know how to use gtkpod to update my ipod's SysInfo file with the correct version number?
[03:27] <Intelligitimate> How do I access my Windows partition?
[03:28] <SilentDis> Intelligitimate, what format is it?  ntfs or fat32?
[03:28] <Intelligitimate> NTFS.
[03:28] <Goldfisch> Intelligimate: After you find the partition, you can do something like => mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows  <= This requires you find out which partition windows is on (it may not be /dev/hda1).
[03:28] <cody> Hi there, Is ther anyone that can help me with dual booting with winXP? I am faitly new to Linux.
[03:28] <Goldfisch> Intelligimate: Once you mount it, you can see everything underneath the tree structure of /mnt/windows.
[03:28] <SilentDis> Intelligitimate, you should be able to just mount it outright.  you won't be able to write to it, but you can read from it just fine

[03:29] <FeliLixTKhat> Cody .... Need to have Windows XP installed first.
[03:29] <cody> Hi FeliLixTKhat
[03:29] <thehumanerror> Anyone use SoundConverter?
[03:29] <bh_> ok I have a minimal installation disk. What do I do to get it to boot the kernel but with a different root mount point ?
[03:29] <cody> got that done

[03:29] <ubotu> Intelligitimate: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter

[03:29] <ubotu> soundconverter: convert sound files to other formats. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.1-0ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 48 kB, installed size 300 kB
[03:29] <Goldfisch> Intelligimate: Oh, and you probably need some mount point for that: sudo mkdir /mnt/windows, and you have to "sudo" the mount command itself.
[03:29] <cody> and I am at the mounting section
[03:30] <FeliLixTKhat> Do you have enough extra room on your dive to load an entire Linux System? .... Probably need at least 6 Gig free minimum.

[03:30] <SilentDis> thehumanerror, i'm installing it now and poking at it...
[03:30] <cody> Yes, I have 4 partition set up, NTFS, ext3, swap, fat32
[03:31] <Intelligitimate> I don't think this will help much though, because there is only one partition, and I can't write to it from Linux. I have to be able to send the data somewhere, and there is no CD-burner to store any of the data. I need to get the wireless card working so I can access my network, to send the important files to my computer from his.
[03:31] <Goldfisch> I guess I'm not adapted to using all the nice gui tools to manage my system. The command line stuff tends to be more universal across distributions, and even *niix'es.

[03:31] <Intelligitimate> I am using the Live Cd at the moment.
[03:31] <cody> I basically just want to make sure that I dont wipe out my NTFS partition
[03:31] <Goldfisch> Intelligimate: Do you have any type of flash stick or USB drive? That is another alternative. Part of it depends on how much we are talking about recovering.
[03:31] <FeliLixTKhat> What Linux distirbution are you installing Cody?
[03:32] <Intelligitimate> No, Goldfisch.
[03:32] <SilentDis> thehumanerror, what do you need to know.  the program looks pretty straightforward :)
[03:32] <vox754> cody, it won't do anything if you don't check "format"

[03:33] <Goldfisch> Intelligitimate: My Dad spotted a 2G flash stick at Best Buy last week for $40. It may be worth it to go get one. That should give you some flexibility. I have flash thumb drives many times in the past to work on systems.
[03:33] <vox754> cody, I guess NTFS is for WinXP, then ext3 for / (root), a swap, and fat32 for data
[03:33] <SilentDis> chrislfxp, one moment, hitting google :)
[03:33] <Intelligitimate> How can I get the wireless card working?

[03:34] <zch`> nope, thanks for the tip
[03:34] <FeliLixTKhat> Ok... as vox754 said, as long as you don't check format. it will leave it alone.  Also, make sure that you don't choose erase entire drive, obviously that erase it all.

[03:39] <Intelligitimate> Goldfisch: I have no idea what this one is. It doesn't have a name on it.
[03:39] <nny> like gnome terminal got removed
[03:39] <Kilzin> Noone has an idea of how to fix my problem described not so long ago?
[03:39] <bsnider> nny: they were dependencies of the packages you requested to be removed
[03:39] <Nontitle> nny: if you know what programs got removed, add them back, all the files needed will come back
[03:39] <Nontitle> they got removed because they were needed
[03:40] <Goldfisch> Intelligitimate: Well, either "lspci -v" or "lsusb -v" may turn up some information. Can't remember if cardbus/pcmcia reports on either of those commands.

[03:40] <nny> I dont
[03:40] <jengc0il> :)
[03:40] <FeliLixTKhat> Cody. If I read what you typed correctly, You need to reset the partition information.
[03:40] <Nontitle> what apt-get command do you use to reinstall a package?
[03:40] <vox754> cody, You need to match the " / " mount point with the ext3 partition, something like "/dev/sda3"
[03:40] <nny> that seems to be the ones.. heh
[03:40] <bsnider> nny: basically, you removed gnome
[03:40] <fushidamn> haha....the required dependencies were found, so there were removed
[03:40] <nny> so wait, why would those package's deps get removed if they are required by other programs?
[03:40] <nny> lol
[03:40] <Intelligitimate> It is a PCMCIA network card, Goldfisch.
[03:41] <bsnider> nny: but ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage that contains all of it
[03:41] <cody> cox754, I have that matched up
[03:41] <cody> vox754
[03:41] <nny> yeah couldn't remeber the name, tried the kde version a while back and just apt-get the whole thing
[03:41] <SilentDis> nny:  just reading over some of those package descriptions... you just effectivly nutered the gnome desktop to a point of non-working.  you'll need to sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to get it all back to functional, probably.
[03:41] <LameBMX> i think pcm is susposed to list under lspci
[03:41] <fushidamn> nny: no probably one program needed them gone while another needed them

[03:46] <nny> enlightenment sound dameon, see i thought that was fixed in alsa
[03:46] <FeliLixTKhat> Cody.  depending on which partition you want to use as your root partition.  The Ubuntu installer is a bit confusing, owing to the fact that it fills in the mount points just as you identified /media/hda1/.    Becareful here!!! You need to make sure that /media/hda1/ is not one of your Windows partitions.  If it is and your format it. Not only will in not work for Linux, but you will destroy Windows as well.
