[07:30] <werto> i should install breezy or hoary, so i have a new hp laptot
[07:30] <werto> laptop
[07:30] <mon> werto: np, now go install ;)
[07:30] <werto> (sorry for my bad english ^_^'')
[07:30] <jstrubberg> n00bster, you mean a desktop icon?
[07:30] <Anak1n> I love ubotu :))
[07:31] <mon> werto: if you have some expierence already and no problem with a few bugs you should go with breezy, hoary otherwise
[07:31] <proxykillah> new linux user here, would you guys recommend it?
[07:31] <n00bster> no, imean, like in windows, there is a tab sore it
[07:31] <mon> werto: i think breezy is getting pretty stable now though
[07:31] <proxykillah> recommend ubuntu*
[07:31] <mon> proxykillah: what do you think, they'd recommend fedora core in here? ;)
[07:31] <Anak1n> fedora :lol
[07:31] <werto> mon, i'll make what you say to me :)
[07:32] <proxykillah> lol mon.
[07:32] <mon> werto: do you have some linux expierence already?
[07:32] <mon> werto: i'd hate to give you bad advice which would lead to bad linux expierence :)
[07:32] <jstrubberg> n00bster: Oh, you mean add icons for prgrams TO the menus?
[07:33] <werto> mon: don't you know what i should do about ati driver?
[07:33] <mon> werto: i've had an ati and dumped it for an nvidia.. but that'll be a bit difficult on a laptop. it should work though
[07:33] <n00bster> no, i' mean using the icons that are allready there..
[07:33] <n00bster> i mean  - keyboard shortcuts  -
[07:34] <ubuntuguy> anyone: there is a newsgroup I want to read, can I use Evolution for that purpose?
[07:34] <zetor> hi there all!
[07:34] <n00bster> sory if i wassent clear.
[07:34] <jstrubberg> Ahhhh
[07:34] <jstrubberg> Gotcha
[07:34] <werto> mon oh.... ok, so i should continue using Vesa driver? _
[07:35] <mon> werto: i'd install hoary or breezy with the ati driver (32bit ofcourse) the ati driver should work
[07:35] <ubuntuguy> OK... I take that as a 'no'..
[07:36] <christian-> 716 frames in 5.0 seconds = 143.200 FPS
[07:36] <Anak1n> yea i install opera
[07:36] <Anak1n> :)
[07:36] <christian-> How do I raise my FPS ?
[07:36] <jstrubberg> n00bster: take a look under System/Preferences/Keyboard shortcuts.  Not sure what you are wanting to launch, but there are quite a few built in that you can modify
[07:36] <n00bster> i mean  - keyboard shortcuts  -
[07:36] <werto> but they don't, because when gnome is first time login, it bloks! and if i set xorg to vesa, it dont :)
[07:36] <clinfix> I am not able to install java-package java-common too, do i need to add new repositories?
[07:36] <mon> werto: on a 64bit install?
[07:36] <mon> ubuntuguy: yeah try it
[07:36] <christian-> !fps
[07:36] <ubotu> christian-: What?
[07:37] <n00bster> i want to launch the software that are in the main menu with keyabord shortcus
[07:37] <Anak1n> !skype troubleshot
[07:37] <ubotu> Wish i knew, Anak1n
[07:37] <mon> christian-: if you have an ati or nvidia 3d accelerator thingie, install the appropriate driver
[07:37] <christian-> acceerator ?
[07:37] <n00bster> lik: Ctrl+ m opens mail software , and so on ...
[07:37] <christian-> l*
[07:37] <mon> christian-: graphics card
[07:37] <christian-> I'll look into it and report back
[07:37] <werto> mon: yes _
[07:38] <mon> christian-: you do that :)
[07:38] <werto> breezy amd64 on a amd64 vith ati xpress 200m 128 mb
[07:38] <mon> werto: install breezy then! :)
[07:38] <mon> werto: 32bit i mean
[07:38] <werto> mon, yes, and i continue using vesa driver?
[07:38] <mon> werto: hmm could be a temporary breezy bug that get's fixed though...
[07:38] <dashrike> any good alternatives to gaim?
[07:38] <mon> werto: you could try to search bugzilla and the forums
[07:39] <funkyHat> dashrike, if you like KDE, Kopete
[07:39] <dashrike> k
[07:39] <jstrubberg> n00bster, I know there are shortcuts in there for email and browser, just highlight them and then press the key combination you want to use to call the app.
[07:39] <werto> mon, oh thanks so much of all your help ^__^
[07:39] <mon> dashrike: for msn only: amsn
[07:39] <werto> i'll keep what you said :)
[07:39] <kkathman> dashrike: if you want to run KDE, you can use kopete instead of GAIM I suppose.
[07:39] <n00bster> can i make custom keyboard shortcuts ??
[07:39] <funkyHat> yep
[07:39] <mon> jstrubberg: wow i didn't know that. Gnome is great :)
[07:39] <werto> now, i'm going away
[07:39] <mon> werto: good luck
[07:40] <jstrubberg> I know you can change the ones listed, not sure you can make new ones.
[07:40] <funkyHat> n00bster, system > Preferences > keyboard shortcuts
[07:40] <werto-aaaway> thanks ^_^
[07:40] <jstrubberg> Which is a shame
[07:40] <mon> you can make new ones, but the options are limited is what i found out
[07:40] <funkyHat> n00bster, if the one you want to set isn't there, PM me and i'll talk you through setting up others
[07:40] <n00bster> yes, but there is no "custom" shortcut to be made from there ..
[07:40] <funkyHat> ok
[07:41] <n00bster> i'll check agin.
[07:41] <flipy> hi!
[07:41] <funkyHat> hi flipy
[07:41] <jstrubberg> Ok, I see how it can be done now.  Messy, but it gets you there I guess
[07:42] <n00bster> nop, it dont have that option there
[07:42] <flipy> I've set up a www server, but all files in /var/www root cannot be written, but directories like /var/www/foo are writeable.. what's wrong? :(
[07:42] <n00bster> whats PM you ?
[07:42] <g|patrick> hi
[07:42] <g|patrick> is someone using 3ddesk here?
[07:42] <ubuntuguy> mon: I did try it... I've done this with thunderbird but I can't figure out how to do it with Evolution
[07:43] <funkyHat> flipy, do chown *youruser* /var/www/*
[07:43] <funkyHat> n00bster, /msg funkyhat *message*
[07:43] <mon> ubuntuguy: hm i never did it either, sorry :) try the help or homepage i guess
[07:43] <g|patrick> have a question why its stuttering all the time
[07:43] <g|patrick> if its active
[07:43] <deflux-> what is colony cd 5?
[07:43] <flipy> funkyHat: yes, I've did that, and didn't work
[07:43] <deflux-> Is that an actual release?
[07:43] <mon> g|patrick: because it's very alpha i think
[07:43] <g|patrick> mon: but its nice :)
[07:43] <mon> deflux-: it's a sort of beta release
[07:44] <eddan> I'm trying to follow the RestrictedFormats guide to install Sun's Java but I can't seem to find the java-package that should be available.. I need the make-jpkg utility to make things work. Any ideas?
[07:44] <deflux-> But I'm running the preview release.  Isn't that the same?
[07:44] <funkyHat> flipy, ok, chmod +w /var/www/*
[07:44] <mon> g|patrick: sure it is, all bleeding edge stuff is :) don't expect it to work great just jet though
[07:44] <g|patrick> is it possible to let it sotre images to a ram disc
[07:44] <flipy> funkyHat: ok
[07:44] <funkyHat> (as you)
[07:44] <g|patrick> so that the stuttering becomes reduced?
[07:44] <funkyHat> not through sudo
[07:44] <g|patrick> any idea?
[07:44] <Pickle_Weasel> is there a kernel compiling how-to? >.>
[07:45] <mon> eddan: maybe you need universe or multiverse in your sources.list?
[07:45] <g|patrick> i have increased the update intervall to 60sec
[07:45] <g|patrick> and it really helped
[07:45] <mon> !java-package
[07:45] <ubotu> mon: I'm not sure, is it larger than a breadbox?
[07:45] <clinfix> I cant find the packages that I need,where can I find new repositories?
[07:45] <mon> eddan: ah multiverse :)
[07:45] <ubuntuguy> any Evolution experts here/
[07:46] <g|patrick> or is it possible to make it not update until the 3d window is requested
[07:46] <eddan> mon: Will try, thanks!
[07:46] <flipy> funkyHat: thanks
[07:47] <funkyHat> np :)
[07:47] <clinfix> apt-get install java-package fakeroot
[07:47] <clinfix> these packages dont exist
[07:48] <Anak1n> someone please help me evrything is working fine but i have problem with skype. I need skype :( :'(
[07:49] <christian-> clinfix, http://packages.debian.org/unstable/misc/java-package
[07:50] <clinfix> christian-, :can I use debian sources?
[07:50] <clinfix> can I add debian repositories?
[07:50] <darkheart> clinfix Only if you want to break things.
[07:50] <christian-> sec, let me just check which one I downloaded. I don't think so
[07:50] <Thunderguy> Use caution.
[07:51] <christian-> java-package_0.26_all.deb
[07:51] <Thunderguy> If you want to break things go get the latest libc6
[07:51] <christian-> That one ended up working for me
[07:51] <christian-> Though I had to extrat all the stuff manually.
[07:51] <christian-> like, cp that there etc
[07:51] <clinfix> darkheart, :than where can I find java-package for ubuntu?
[07:51] <jstrubberg> Doggone it, now I have a dozen new hotkeys to set up!  Man, that is handy stuff
[07:52] <grogoreo> hi
[07:54] <nalioth> clinfix: are you wanting java?
[07:54] <clinfix> nalioth, :yes
[07:54] <nalioth> clinfix: hoary or breezy?
[07:55] <[A] ndy80> I've a problem to solve. In a room we have 8 pc and one server. All these PC have Ubuntu. We want two main things: the first is that autentication is not made locally, but against a user list on server, the second thing is that /home is not local on the pc, we want it mounted remotely and to be on the servr hard disk. How can we do this thing?
[07:55] <g|patrick> is it possible to make gnome have different backgrounds
[07:55] <g|patrick> on differen tworkspaces
[07:55] <clinfix> nalioth, :5.04
[07:55] <ubuntu> this is pretty cool
[07:55] <oxez> hm, I just let breezy installs the latest updates on my system, ended up with installations errors, and now when I type commands (cp, mv, ls etc..) I get Segmentation Fault.. what's wrong!?
[07:55] <g|patrick> nalioth :)
[07:55] <g|patrick> hi
[07:55] <nalioth> [A] ndy80: use NFS from the client machines to access the server (for the $HOMEDIR)
[07:55] <mon> [A] ndy80: you probably want LDAP and NFS. don't ask for the details though ;)
[07:55] <ubuntu> I am running the Live Cd to get a taste of this OS
[07:55] <nalioth> clinfix: http://www.giannaros.org/public/hoarydebs/
[07:56] <nalioth> g|patrick: howdy
[07:56] <[A] ndy80> nalioth: ok for the /home :)
[07:56] <[A] ndy80> mon: LDAP? Is kerberos ok too?
[07:56] <nalioth> [A] ndy80: like mon said, i have no clue on the remote authentication
[07:56] <g|patrick> how is the wheather in america
[07:56] <mon> [A] ndy80: i only have expierence with NFS. for LDAP or kerberos... i don't know which does what
[07:57] <[A] ndy80> ok, thanks
[07:57] <g|patrick> nalioth? :)
[07:57] <clinfix> nalioth, :I have read the document about mp3 and follow the instructions but it didnt work,can you tellme which package do I need to install for listening mp3?
[07:57] <mon> [A] ndy80: should be plenty of info about it on the net though
[07:57] <nalioth> clinfix: gstreamer0.8-mad
[07:58] <mon> nalioth: Secreth`X has that problem too. it seems the wiki has changed to an etch server, but that doesn't have the gstreamer0.8-mad package?
[07:58] <jstrubberg> Andy80, I would recommend thin client, unless you have some super-heavy graphic or sound apps
[07:58] <clinfix> nalioth, :it is already installed
[07:58] <nalioth> clinfix: then you have other problems
[07:58] <NightLord> lemme do a bit of a vote here:
[07:58] <nalioth> ubotu: tell clinfix about sound
[07:59] <NightLord> If apple ported itunes to linux, would you use it with an ipod?
[07:59] <jstrubberg> Anyone know what's going on with Wine?  I understand they are going non-free?
[07:59] <g|patrick> amarok does the same
[07:59] <g|patrick> it may do it even better
[07:59] <g|patrick> jstrubberg: wine is still free
[07:59] <mon> NightLord: if you gave me an ipod and itunes would be significantly better than the OSS competetion. so in short: small chance ;)
[07:59] <g|patrick> either the cvs of cedega
[07:59] <[Wiebel] > hmm
[07:59] <ABRAXAS77> hi
[07:59] <g|patrick> but the cedega stuff with gui frontend isnt anymore
[07:59] <[Wiebel] > bootsplash seems to be broken
[07:59] <jstrubberg> Ah
[07:59] <[Wiebel] > in breezy
[08:00] <g|patrick> in breezy is a new stuff...
[08:00] <jstrubberg> Thanks.  I have a couple of windows apps I woul hate to lose.
[08:00] <g|patrick> i dont like it
[08:00] <flam> is there a gnome-app similar to kate? i love kate but i don't want to install all the kde libs etc.
[08:00] <ABRAXAS77> mon, what is ur problem?
[08:00] <g|patrick> jstrubberg: but dont expect too much
[08:00] <g|patrick> games perfoming bad if they cant use ogl native
[08:00] <mon> ABRAXAS77: ehr nothing why?
[08:01] <g|patrick> but apps like photoshop work fine
[08:01] <clinfix> nalioth, :I can here the sound when ubuntu starts
[08:01] <oxez> anyone know why would basic commands 'cp', 'mv' would go 'Segmentation fault'?
[08:01] <ABRAXAS77> mon,  sorry,u tought i have problem with X
[08:01] <g|patrick> mon: is it possible to assing different wallpapers to different workspaces?
[08:01] <rjcarr> just installed 5.04 last night
[08:01] <nalioth> clinfix: i'm not much help on sound issues
[08:01] <rjcarr> everything went great
[08:01] <ABRAXAS77> oxez,  u can download them again
[08:01] <g|patrick> using gnome
[08:01] <jstrubberg> I have one relational reporting tool that will probably never make the jump to *nix.  Handy as heck, though
[08:01] <nalioth> g|patrick: yes
[08:01] <mon> ABRAXAS77: actually i sorta had. but i can't remember telling it here :)
[08:01] <rjcarr> trying to use synaptic to install subversion
[08:01] <mon> g|patrick: nope, only in kde afaik
[08:01] <rjcarr> search doesn't find it
[08:01] <rjcarr> ideas?
[08:01] <mon> yes? oops
[08:01] <mon> :)
[08:02] <oxez> ABRAXAS77: what do I install?
[08:02] <nalioth> !info subversion
[08:02] <ubotu> subversion: (Advanced version control system (aka. svn)), section devel, is optional. Version: 1.1.1-2ubuntu3 (hoary), Packaged size: 953 kB, Installed size: 3072 kB
[08:02] <ABRAXAS77> oxez,  the commands
[08:02] <g|patrick> mon: thats weired... kde has better appz... but i dont like their gui X)
[08:02] <ABRAXAS77> oxez,  they are broken?
[08:02] <nalioth> rjcarr: svn is there
[08:02] <rjcarr> what do you mean it is there?
[08:02] <oxez> ABRAXAS77: when I type mv I get: Segmentation fault.
[08:02] <clinfix> nalioth, :why don't some packages (like java-package) exist with ubuntu?
[08:02] <mon> g|patrick: according to nalioth there is something :)
[08:02] <nalioth> clinfix: licensing issues
[08:02] <mon> nalioth: ?
[08:02] <oxez> ABRAXAS77: this is after latest updates, which resulted in an error in gdm
[08:03] <g|patrick> really :)
[08:03] <nalioth> mon: yes?
[08:03] <rjcarr> i do a search, nothing comes up
[08:03] <g|patrick> crap its raining here...
[08:03] <nalioth> ubotu: tell rjcarr about sources
[08:03] <rjcarr> i just have the install disc
[08:03] <mon> nalioth: about the background per desktop thing, how/what?
[08:03] <clinfix> nalioth, :will they be included?
[08:03] <rjcarr> thanks ubotu ... I'll check out the sources
[08:03] <nalioth> clinfix: java-package should be available
[08:04] <rjcarr> i figured i had to add a repository
[08:04] <nerp>  http://gawth.org/code/e17new.jpg
[08:04] <nerp>  http://gawth.org/code/e17new1.jpg
[08:04] <nerp>  http://gawth.org/code/e17new2.jpg
[08:04] <ColonelKernel> breezy daily build looks good - except for two things - theres no "open terminal" when you right click on the desktop, and while i'll just get lauged at again, theres no text output for glxgears
[08:05] <nalioth> ColonelKernel: there is a plugin to address the "open here"
[08:05] <ColonelKernel> I dont know what "open here" means
[08:05] <mon> ColonelKernel: do fps show in glxgears self or not at all?
[08:06] <ColonelKernel> mon - glxgears self? I dont understand - it doesnt show fps in the console
[08:06] <mon> ColonelKernel: if you don't see any FPS rate at all i'd guess it's a bug in glxgears
[08:06] <jpfarias> hey guys
[08:06] <ABRAXAS77> oxez,  wait,im looking in google
[08:06] <nalioth> ColonelKernel: open terminal plugin is available, lemme get the name of it
[08:06] <ColonelKernel> mon, yeah I guess - too bad I cant usethe glxgears from hoary
[08:06] <ColonelKernel> nalioth, rockin!
[08:06] <jpfarias> does anyone knows how to configure the 2 monitor as an extended desktop?
[08:07] <mon> ColonelKernel: you could compile it i guess, if you really need it
[08:07] <jpfarias> my one just works as a clone of the first
[08:07] <nalioth> ColonelKernel: nautilus-open-terminal
[08:07] <oxez> ABRAXAS77: ok thank you. and now everytime I want to install something with apt-get, it tries to reinstall firefox, firefox-gnome-support and gdm. This ends up with errors, and some seg faults
[08:07] <ColonelKernel> nalioth, just apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal?
[08:07] <g|patrick> nalioth: where u reffering to my problem or was it jsut chatting as u said "yes"
[08:07] <ColonelKernel> hey my old ship is in New Orleans!
[08:07] <zer0`> glxgears prints out fps every 5 seconds
[08:07] <nalioth> ColonelKernel: that should do it (an apt-cache search definitely will show it)
[08:07] <mon> nalioth: hmm will that plugin be mentioned by ubuntu? i think hoary users would miss that option
[08:07] <ColonelKernel> nalioth, rockin - thank you very much
[08:08] <nalioth> g|patrick: you "should" be able to get different window dressing in each window
[08:08] <ABRAXAS77> oxez,  u updated libraries?
[08:08] <Eppu> ColonelKernel: you should get glxgears fps output with glxgears -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark
[08:08] <ColonelKernel> they should justmake it part of the default installation package when breezy is released
[08:08] <g|patrick> nalioth: how?
[08:08] <oxez> ABRAXAS77: which libraries?
[08:08] <nalioth> g|patrick: if that isnt your answer, i'm very lost on multiple channels
[08:08] <wesley> caras..
[08:08] <ABRAXAS77> oxez,  any library...
[08:08] <ColonelKernel> Eppu, yeah and myabe you could get it to work with glxgears -horsesassmakingirrelevantandinsultingcomments
[08:08] <mon> nalioth: lol it is, you're just a bit behind :)
[08:08] <pluffsy> hello
[08:09] <ABRAXAS77> oxez,  i see people that tried update mozzilla received this error
[08:09] <oxez> ABRAXAS77: I let synaptic do the updates for me
[08:09] <jstrubberg> jpfarias, try setting the "Xinerama" option to "on"
[08:09] <g|patrick> nalioth: dont become depressive because of me ;(
[08:09] <Eppu> ColonelKernel: I am not kidding, the glxgears in breezy requires that option
[08:09] <jpfarias> jstrubberg, ok
[08:09] <pluffsy> how do I restart apache2 in ubuntu? from cli. I used to do something like service httpd restart but that was apache 1 and redhat :) that doesn't work here and I didn't find anything in the wiki'
[08:09] <ColonelKernel> Eppu, sure
[08:09] <mon> lol
[08:09] <jpfarias> brb
[08:09] <ABRAXAS77> oxez,  i think u need reinstall many libraries,let me see which
[08:09] <mon> ColonelKernel: try it then!
[08:09] <ColonelKernel> take that manure back to #debian
[08:10] <ColonelKernel> oh yeah NTP gives a temp failure in name resolution during boot
[08:10] <nalioth> ColonelKernel: and what's new about that?
[08:10] <ColonelKernel> nalioth, doesnt do it in hoary
[08:10] <clinfix> how can I restore grub ,I have to install windows?
[08:11] <oxez> ColonelKernel: he says the truth I just tried it haha
[08:11] <nalioth> ColonelKernel: my breezy has always hung on ntp sync
[08:11] <mon> ColonelKernel: check http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=56574 2nd post
[08:11] <seth_k|lappy> clinfix, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[08:11] <seth_k|lappy> or some name like that, let me check the exact name
[08:11] <seth_k|lappy> yeah I got it right :D
[08:11] <jpfarias> jstrubberg, it didn't worked
[08:11] <ColonelKernel> nalioth, alrighty - then perhaps its something the breezy developers ought to fix, eh?
[08:11] <jpfarias> got a clone again
[08:12] <nalioth> clinfix: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[08:12] <concept10> Im glad clinfix has mentioned that.  I upgrated breezy the other day and the 'boot manager package' disapeared.  anyone know what it is called?
[08:12] <ABRAXAS77> oxez,  did u read me?
[08:12] <nalioth> ColonelKernel: have you looked at bugzilla to see if its on the list?
[08:12] <oxez> yea
[08:12] <nalioth> ColonelKernel: are you behind a router?
[08:12] <mon> pluffsy: something like /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[08:12] <ColonelKernel> nalioth, yes i am
[08:13] <jstrubberg> jpfarias:  Still have identical desktops?

[08:14] <ColonelKernel> nalioth, I just did, it aint there
[08:14] <nalioth> ColonelKernel: i have it in my breezy sources
[08:14] <TheRabbit> Is there a way to look at the interworkings of an online java or php game?

[08:15] <nalioth> ColonelKernel: surely
[08:15] <oxez> I cannot open firefox to paste it ABRAXAS77, it's broken, so I pasted the output to that file
[08:15] <ABRAXAS77> oxez,  hablas castellano?

[08:16] <ColonelKernel> i have never found a linux community that I'd feel comfortable enough migrating my stepmom's business over - but I have now
[08:17] <ColonelKernel> all they do is web and MS office on their machines
[08:17] <othernoob> ColonelKernel: then why change it
[08:17] <grindhouse> yo
[08:17] <ColonelKernel> and their server is DOS based, reunning some lantastic software - she pays some guys 100 bucks an hour to work on it
[08:17] <grindhouse> i hate you all
[08:17] <othernoob> ColonelKernel: nvm...
[08:18] <ColonelKernel> I told her she needs to migrate to linux and pay a college student, so she doesnt have to pay such exhorbitant fees to upkeep this old DOS based bookkeeping software
[08:19] <CarlFK> ColonelKernel - where?
[08:19] <christian-> Right, to install nvidia linux drivers I  need to shutdown X. How do I do that?
[08:20] <christian-> I tried that whole alt-ctrl-F1 stuff, X was still detected
[08:20] <CarlFK> christian- - um, no.  get the package from synaptic
[08:20] <christian-> linux nvidia? Is that possible ?
[08:21] <CarlFK> yes.
[08:21] <ColonelKernel> CarlFK, tucson arizona
[08:21] <CarlFK> ColonelKernel - rats.  bit far from Chicago
[08:21] <PoTs> I'm using breezy on a laptop, how can i configure the touchpad? (it works, but i want to stop the tapping)
[08:21] <ColonelKernel> nalioth, thats it, I had to add multiverse universe to it
[08:21] <nalioth> ColonelKernel: ok good
[08:22] <nalioth> everyone should have uni and multi in their sources
[08:22] <delp> can someone send me the link on how to connect ntfs file partitions to linux so i can read files from it?
[08:22] <jstrubberg> Colonel: If all they are running are office apps and web, a default ubuntu install ought to do the trick.  Bet they wouldn't need much in the way of support, either
[08:23] <jstrubberg> Or a server, really
[08:23] <nalioth> ubotu: tell delp about ntfs
[08:24] <ColonelKernel> Eppu, I owe you an apology
[08:24] <spiral> hi
[08:24] <ColonelKernel> I cant beleve thats really an option
[08:24] <Secreth`X> !mount windows
[08:24] <ubotu> Secreth`X: Are you smoking crack?
[08:24] <Secreth`X> ..

[08:25] <NightLord> can someone help, i can't get my canon i250 which is connected to XP to print from XP
[08:25] <NightLord> erm, print from ubuntu
[08:26] <NightLord> hey, dd uses plusnet ^_^
[08:26] <jstrubberg> NightLord, do you have print services for Linux installed on the windows machine?
[08:26] <dd> yip :)
[08:26] <NightLord> erm...i doubt it
[08:26] <NightLord> thing is, it comes up in the print job queue in windows, and the light on the printer flashes, but it won't actually print :(
[08:26] <CarlFK> NightLord - is the printer "shared" ?
[08:27] <Anak1n> gnomebaker won't erase dvd-rw?
[08:27] <NightLord> under status it says Ready: Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds...ERROR:  Connection failed with error NT_STATUS_REQUEST_NOT_ACCEPTED
[08:27] <NightLord> of course it is, i'm not a complete twit
[08:27] <CarlFK> NightLord - so yes.  I had the exact problem with an HP 3220
[08:27] <dd> what ide's are you guys using?
[08:27] <delp> does anyone know if the flash plugin is supported with the AMD64 version yet?
[08:27] <jstrubberg> Install print services for Unix on the windows box.
[08:27] <cute_bettong> how do i remove the new ubuntu screensavers?
[08:27] <jstrubberg> You will need the XP install disk
[08:27] <NightLord> ok, got that
[08:28] <juhan> hello
[08:28] <CarlFK> NightLord - wait.. not that error.  the print job would make it to win's spooler, but then just sit there and get in the way of all other jobs including local ones
[08:28] <cute_bettong> i have a screensaver icon in prefs that has a screen with a flame in it
[08:28] <NightLord> thats what mine does!
[08:28] <cute_bettong> and i want to keep that one but the one that has a screen and a moon i want to remove\
[08:29] <NightLord> it set to randome
[08:29] <Secreth`X> Is there a way to save what you'v done on the Live CD?
[08:29] <NightLord> go to screensavers and change it to one screensaver
[08:29] <cute_bettong> anyone know how to get rid of it?
[08:29] <juhan> I'm a n00b at ubuntu, but I'd still like to have estonian keyboard layout, can somebody help me?
[08:29] <NightLord> and set it to the preferred one
[08:29] <cute_bettong> no thats not what i want
[08:29] <NightLord> sure juhan
[08:29] <juhan> cool
[08:29] <cute_bettong> i want to remove the new screensaver app that breezy has
[08:29] <NightLord> go to system>preferences>keyboard
[08:30] <juhan> ok
[08:30] <jstrubberg> NightLord, you want Control Panel-->Add/Remove Programs/, Add/Remove Windows Components, then Other file and network services.  check Print Services for Unix, then OK
[08:30] <NightLord> cool
[08:30] <NightLord> go to layouts and choose add new layouts
[08:30] <NightLord> and set to estonian :)
[08:30] <sinistermilk> hello
[08:30] <Secreth`X> Is there a way to save what you'v done on the Live CD?
[08:30] <sinistermilk> i have a few questions
[08:31] <sinistermilk> to whom do i direct them>
[08:31] <sinistermilk> ?
[08:31] <juhan> and now?
[08:32] <juhan> like I have done this several times, but it still will not change to estonian
[08:32] <sinistermilk> how do i install ubuntu with to a dual boot?
[08:32] <NightLord> did you tick it and put it on top of the list?
[08:32] <NightLord> jstrubberg
[08:32] <NightLord> did thats
[08:32] <NightLord> should i try to print again?
[08:33] <delp> do i need to download xmms or is it already on here somewhere?
[08:33] <juhan> yes, ticked it
[08:33] <NightLord> ok, printing, wish me luck ^_^
[08:33] <juhan> there is just estonian left
[08:33] <g|patrick> well
[08:33] <g|patrick> i think i found a tool
[08:33] <jstrubberg> Might not be a bad idea to run through connecting to the printer again, but it should work without that
[08:33] <g|patrick> http://wallpapoz.sourceforge.net/ <-- how do i install it?
[08:33] <g|patrick> cant find a deb
[08:34] <kevogod> I believe XMMS is installed by default.
[08:34] <sinistermilk> ???
[08:34] <Belutz> kevogod, no it is not
[08:34] <jstrubberg> Installation instructions are right beneath the link, gl
[08:34] <kevogod> If not, then go to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager, and then search for XMMS.
[08:34] <Secreth`X> Is there a way to save what you'v done on the Live CD?
[08:35] <juhan> still no luck with changing the language
[08:35] <delp> ok, thanks kevo
[08:35] <Recon> I got a tar.gz file, and i can't figure out how to install it.
[08:35] <sinistermilk> under what link?
[08:35] <Recon> i got it from tucows
[08:35] <kevogod> delp, Then hit apply.
[08:35] <Recon> ?
[08:35] <delp> alright, thanks
[08:35] <nalioth> g|patrick: you rascal. d/l the source and use checkinstall instead of make isntall
[08:35] <Belutz> anyone knows how to create an ssl certificate?
[08:35] <Secreth`X> Is there a way to save what you'v done on the Live CD?
[08:36] <Recon> The "make" command doesn't work on Ubuntu.
[08:36] <cute_bettong> how do i get glx gears to tell me the frame rate?
[08:36] <delp> anyone know of a good place for wallpapers?

[08:36] <nalioth> Recon: sure it does
[08:36] <sinistermilk> any one know how to install a dual boot?
[08:36] <jstrubberg> make doesn't work?  It should.
[08:36] <kennethlove> delp: customize.org
[08:36] <nalioth> Recon: install "build-essential"
[08:36] <g|patrick> don t even get the qucikinstalltutorial on that site ;)
[08:36] <Rockett18> delp: www.pixelgirlpresents.com
[08:36] <Belutz> cute_bettong, from terminal run glxgears
[08:36] <Recon> i get the error "bash : make doesn't exitst"
[08:36] <nalioth> g|patrick: have you compiled b4?
[08:36] <oxez> what would fix segmentation fault in commande like cp and mv?
[08:37] <g|patrick> how do i compile
[08:37] <delp> thank you all
[08:37] <nalioth> Recon: "build-essential"
[08:37] <g|patrick> i dont even know how to do
[08:37] <jstrubberg> Recon: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[08:37] <oxez> I need those commands to work to be able to fix my other problems :/
[08:37] <nalioth> g|patrick: join #kubuntu-offtopic
[08:37] <juhan> it won't even change to other languages
[08:37] <mon> cute_bettong: run it with: -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark
[08:37] <andril> hello all
[08:37] <cute_bettong> ok so what should i use to benchmark?
[08:37] <ColonelKernel> nice - well i'll definitely be upgrading to breezy as soon as its a stable release - looks pretty damn stable from here though
[08:37] <andril> anyone using ATI TV Wonder VE with Ubuntu?
[08:37] <mon> cute_bettong: glxgears -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark
[08:38] <cute_bettong> ok
[08:38] <g|patrick>  /join #kubuntu-offtopic
[08:38] <nalioth> ColonelKernel: you should peruse some raw source code sometime
[08:38] <mon> hehe me 2 ColonelKernel  :)
[08:38] <g|patrick> oh
[08:38] <cute_bettong> oh no shit i thought ya where screwin with me
[08:38] <g|patrick> a space
[08:38] <sinistermilk> how does the live cd thing work?
[08:38] <nalioth> cute_bettong: your tongue.
[08:38] <ColonelKernel> nalioth, I do, but not for glxgears
[08:38] <cute_bettong> sorry ..<
[08:39] <benkong2> nalioth; I think I might have figured it out my /chroot has a tree structure of /chroot/http/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" then I get the /dev /bin /boot etc. Could that be why chroot isn't acting correctly?
[08:39] <cute_bettong> 6210 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1241.920 FPS
[08:39] <cute_bettong> omg thats awsome if it where true
[08:39] <nalioth> benkong2: i am not a plant expert and know nothing about chroots
[08:40] <ColonelKernel> yeah I get good 3d results in breezy too
[08:40] <benkong2> nalioth; K that made me smile
[08:40] <cute_bettong> man
[08:40] <jstrubberg> andril: I have an ATI card with a TV out, but I don't think its the same one as yours.
[08:40] <ColonelKernel> cute_bettong, for a good idea of how 3d really works install enemy-territory and waste some nazis
[08:40] <Recon> how do you install tar.gz files?
[08:40] <cute_bettong> lol i have to by it first
[08:40] <boxman> my glxgears seems fucked.. it looked like it is locked at 25fps or something and never shows any results... i get nice 3d perfomance from 3d games like UT though
[08:40] <boxman> pretty odd
[08:41] <ompaul> boxman, language
[08:41] <mon> cute_bettong: nein, it's free! :)
[08:41] <cute_bettong> really where from i want i want
[08:41] <christian-> Right, I'm trying to install Cedega. After installing nvidia-stuff with the apt-get gui, my FPS is still not 500+, in fact, it's not even 250+ (measured with glxgears).
[08:41] <kevogod> boxman, This means you have synchronized it.
[08:41] <Recon> How do you install a tar.gz file after un-tar ing it
[08:41] <Recon> ?
[08:41] <_chavo> enemy territory is the best game evar!!!!
[08:41] <ColonelKernel> boxman,  glxgears -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark <-- not a joke, it works
[08:41] <boxman> kevogod, i have not touched it, and vsync is not activated.
[08:41] <christian-> However, I gave up on trying to increase my FPS and started to install Cedega
[08:41] <christian-> It's a .tgz file
[08:41] <boxman> ColonelKernel, aha..
[08:41] <christian-> How do i handle that ?
[08:41] <ColonelKernel> boxman, scary eh>
[08:41] <Recon> no, tar.gz
[08:41] <nalioth> ubotu: tell christian- about cli
[08:42] <jstrubberg> Recon: First you uncompress them with tar -zxf, then cd to the new directory and run ./configure, ./make and ./make install
[08:42] <cute_bettong> ok some one give me the link for that game please?
[08:42] <Recon> when I run make, I get "bash: make: command not found"
[08:42] <ColonelKernel> christian-, you changed you xorg.conf ?
[08:42] <w45yw45> o cannot get firefox to work with mplayer
[08:42] <boxman> ColonelKernel, yeah, that solved it :P
[08:42] <_chavo> christian-, they have .debs also
[08:42] <scribbles> do I need to partition XP on my own or is can ubuntu setup do it without damaging data
[08:42] <w45yw45> *I
[08:43] <jstrubberg> Recon: then you need to run sudo apt-get build-essential first to get the compile tools
[08:43] <boxman> i guess they must have changed something in recent versions then..
[08:43] <w45yw45> it almost finishes loading then crashes
[08:43] <ColonelKernel> boxman, IU just learned it a few minutes ago and I thought someone was being sarcastic
[08:43] <PoTs> anyone who knows how to deactivate the tapping on a touchpad (maxtaptime=0 doesn't seem to work)
[08:44] <christian-> It seems to me that it's easier actually to draw World of Warcraft in hand, frame by frame, than it is to actually install it
[08:44] <mon> w45yw45: there's a good howto on the ubuntu forum to get totem working with firefox
[08:44] <w45yw45> mon, thanks

[08:46] <jimcooncat> hi folks. trying to make LVM snapshots, and getting device-mapper error. Forum says I need to install the "dm-mirror" kernel module. Would someone give me a walkthrough how to install a kernal module?
[08:46] <andril> jstrubberg: you do, cool what software are you using to view TV?
[08:46] <nuopus> hello
[08:46] <nuopus> does anyone know which package to install to get dh_testdir?
[08:46] <darkheart> StarKruzr School's important. Don't shirk your duties. One day you'll regret it =)
[08:47] <oxez> what would fix segmentation fault in commande like cp and mv? I need those commands to work to be able to fix my other problems :/
[08:47] <nalioth> nuopus: dh-make ?
[08:48] <nuopus> ok. cuz im trying to install fglrx driver using the ati installer and it errored on that while making breezy package
[08:48] <christian-> If I do "sudo cp -av usr /usr/" does the command overwrite my 'real' usr file and deletes everything there ?
[08:48] <christian-> Because that
[08:49] <christian-> 's a lot easier than extract everything and then using cp filename < 1000
[08:49] <christian-> x*
[08:49] <Jan_> where does ubuntu hide init.d
[08:49] <cute_bettong> can someone help me with enemy terrirory i can't figure out what to do when i try to download it it goes to another page as a huge text file

[08:50] <christian-> that is
[08:50] <christian-> if it works :)
[08:50] <_chavo> -C tells tar to extract at a different directory

[08:51] <ubuntu_user0255> can anyone help me... im having trouble installing Ubuntu
[08:51] <nalioth> cute_bettong: right click and "save as"
[08:51] <christian-> tar: You may not specify more than one `-Acdtrux' option
[08:51] <juhan> I'm back again and still struggling with the keyboard language selection, when selecting estonian language, it doesn't have an efect
[08:52] <christian-> _chavo, -acdtrux option ?
[08:52] <_chavo> christian-, sorry my bad, it's tar xzf
[08:52] <jstrubberg> andril: Sorry, mine is TV out, not in.  Try a google for MythTV, although it's probably overkill...
[08:52] <christian-> _chavo, no problem. I'll write that down. Seems like a good command.
[08:53] <andril> jstrubberg: thanks

[08:54] <B_166-ER-X> he

[08:55] <B_166-ER-X> you probably have to add the locate
[08:55] <B_166-ER-X> but i dont know the exact command
[08:55] <Jan_> This computer claims samba is installed (smbd -V returns a version) but there is no smb command in init.d
[08:55] <B_166-ER-X> i added French support for me at my installation

[09:02] <eddan> I've just installed breezy and suddenly all my mp3 files are displayed in both rhythmbox and totem to be from 15 to 30 seconds. If I play them they continue playing beyond the reported secs. Also, rhythmbox doesn't read mp3 tags. I've tried installing variuos gstreamer and mp3 libs without luck.. Any ideas?
[09:03] <Darknight> eddan, gstreamer lame?
[09:03] <delp> can you make each workspace have a different background?
[09:03] <darkheart> christian- np

[09:03] <Darknight> delp, yes, im curious about it too
[09:04] <eddan> Darknight: Is it in any of the ubuntu reps? universe or whatever they're called?
[09:04] <eddan> Darknight: I've enabled the community maintained reps in synaptic..
[09:04] <Darknight> eddan, yes, i downloaded it from there
[09:04] <i3dmaster> how to change backspace to a backward deleting instead of forward deleting?
[09:04] <i3dmaster> in vi.
[09:05] <Darknight> eddan, so u shoud have lame for download i think
[09:05] <delp> thank you nailoth
[09:05] <Darknight> anybody know how to turn on tv card here in ubuntu?
[09:05] <_native_> im using breezy i have no hardware accel. on my nvidia geforce 420 Go, if this is a common thing could someone point me to the fix.
[09:05] <Buddha|> How do I set up my computer to boot to a console when I turn it on?
[09:06] <crimsun> Buddha|, search the wiki for instructions on disabling gdm
[09:06] <_jason> _native_:  have you installed the nvidia drivers?
[09:06] <boxman> _native_, i am new to ubuntu myself, but did you download the nvidia-glx driver using apt?? and did you also change the driver in dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[09:06] <Darknight> _native_, did u downloaded nvidia-glx driver?
[09:06] <crimsun> _native_, have you followed wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto?
[09:06] <boxman> that is what i did atleast..
[09:06] <cute_bettong> it's saveing it as a php file called modules.php
[09:06] <cute_bettong> thats a weard file for enimey terrirory
[09:07] <crimsun> sigh.
[09:07] <_jason> !tell _native_ about nvidia
[09:08] <eddan> Darknight: A search for "lame" doesn't seem to list packages that could work.. There is a "glame", but that doesn't seem to be "lame".
[09:08] <Darknight> eddan, gstreamer lame
[09:08] <deFrysk> !info lame
[09:08] <ubotu> lame: (LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder), section multiverse/sound, is optional. Version: 3.96.1-1 (hoary), Packaged size: 222 kB, Installed size: 620 kB
[09:08] <Darknight> or geastreamer-lame
[09:08] <Darknight> i have it in breezy
[09:09] <Darknight> !info tv
[09:09] <juliaintenn> i have totem and mplayer installed, and would like the mplayer mozilla plugin to load when viewing quicktime rather than totem -- how can i switch it?
[09:09] <NightLord> damnit, still doesn't work :(
[09:10] <FaeWolfe> I am having trouble "reinstalling" ubuntu..............installation freezes during the formatting
[09:10] <d33p> just installed ubuntu hoary, but it didn't asked me what my root password is... which one is it to keep installing software?
[09:11] <ThePyromaniac> FaeWolfe: You trying to reinstall as Breezy?
[09:11] <deFrysk> !tell d33p about sudo
[09:11] <FaeWolfe> ThePyromaniac......trying to reinstall Hoary.I don't have the breezy cd yet
[09:11] <Darknight> !info bttv
[09:12] <daejavu> need some help with Synaptic ! how do i install  kernel headers ?
[09:12] <crimsun> daejavu, install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[09:12] <crimsun> daejavu, it's probably easier if you open a Terminal and use sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[09:12] <daejavu> i checked but installed headers are not as that of the current kernel as uname tells
[09:13] <d33p> there is no azureus package in ubuntu?
[09:13] <marcin_ant> hi all
[09:13] <marcin_ant> I got a problem with fontconfig
[09:13] <crimsun> d33p, no, download it from their Web site.
[09:13] <deFrysk> !info azureus
[09:13] <d33p> crimsun, ok
[09:13] <marcin_ant> I want to enable bitmap fonts on breezy
[09:13] <funkyHat> ~info azureus
[09:13] <eddan> Darknight: Weird, I can't find it.. I've enabled all the binary universe reps that appeared after I clicked the "show disabled software...". Also added backport rep.. If I scroll down to gstreamer-* there is no -lame, just a lot of others :)
[09:13] <marcin_ant> but dpkg-fontconfig reconfigure doesn't work
[09:13] <ThePyromaniac> FaeWolfe: then I dont know, what happened with me was installation froze on final stage of installation. so i installed kubuntu, then downloaded the ubuntu-desktop packages and removed KDE ^^
[09:14] <crimsun> marcin_ant, dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig?
[09:14] <crimsun> marcin_ant, or was that just a slip-up?
[09:14] <daejavu> crimsun, it says couldnt find package :S
[09:14] <FaeWolfe>  ThePyromaniac....thanks
[09:14] <deFrysk> ThePyromaniac, sounds like a bad cd
[09:14] <marcin_ant> crimsun, hmm what is slip-up?
[09:14] <Darknight> how i can configure my hardware (tv card for example)?
[09:14] <crimsun> marcin_ant, you typo'd
[09:14] <ThePyromaniac> deFrysk: nope, i had a bad cd so i reburned it. the cd chekcer said it was fine
[09:14] <FaeWolfe> deFrysk.would a bad cd cause it to freeze at partitioning?
[09:15] <Tallia1[UbuntU] > hi guys
[09:15] <Tallia1[UbuntU] > i have to ask you a thing
[09:15] <crimsun> daejavu, it's in the main repository. Do you have that enabled?
[09:15] <deFrysk> FaeWolfe, a bad cd can freeze at any point I think
[09:15] <marcin_ant> crimsun, anyway - I know about dpkg-reconfigure - but still no bitmap fonts in gnome
[09:15] <Tallia1[UbuntU] > isn't it possible to link a combination of keys to show the kde desktop?
[09:15] <Tallia1[UbuntU] > like WIN+D in windows..
[09:15] <FaeWolfe> deFrysk...ok ty      will try another cd lol
[09:15] <daejavu> crimsun, i updated the repositories from ubuntuguide.org and have all of the enabled
[09:15] <marcin_ant> crimsun, so I need to get why it doesn't work
[09:15] <nalioth> Tallia1[UbuntU] : have you tried "win-m" ?
[09:16] <crimsun> daejavu, apt-cache policy linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[09:16] <Tallia1[UbuntU] > nothing happens
[09:16] <Tallia1[UbuntU] > hi nalioth
[09:16] <Tallia1[UbuntU] > you're always here
[09:16] <Tallia1[UbuntU] > :P
[09:16] <nalioth> Tallia1[UbuntU] : i'm chained to my desk
[09:17] <ThePyromaniac> great, LimeWire doesnt like blackdown java and Gtk-Gnutella doesnt ever actuallty download anything. Anyone know a good p2p system?
[09:17] <Tallia1[UbuntU] > nalioth: ??
[09:17] <nalioth> ThePyromaniac: bittorrent?
[09:17] <NightLord> again:
[09:17] <atripathi> hello everyone
[09:17] <nalioth> Tallia1[UbuntU] : i never leave here because i love all of you so much
[09:17] <NightLord> what do i have to do to get xvidtune to save my settings?
[09:17] <Tallia1[UbuntU] > ahha
[09:18] <crimsun> I sure don't love these clonebots, though.
[09:18] <Earthen> I installed Ati drivers and now my media players will not work?
[09:18] <Tallia1[UbuntU] > you're funny
[09:18] <daejavu> crimsun, the backport repositories are not working .. i think they are causing the probem
[09:18] <crimsun> daejavu, I recommend you avoid backports unless absolutely necessary.
[09:18] <deFrysk> daejavu, backports ARE a problem
[09:18] <crimsun> it's far better to just run the devel branch if you want updated software
[09:18] <atripathi> How can I change the resolution of desktop in v5.04 ?
[09:18] <blekos> hello pple
[09:19] <daejavu> welll do u know where can i add more repos from other then ubuntuguide ?
[09:19] <ThePyromaniac> nalioth: where can i get downloadable ogg vorbis files if using bittorrent? lol
[09:19] <nalioth> daejavu: dont use them regularly
[09:19] <ThePyromaniac> of course i already own the CD's so doing nothing illegal... ;)
[09:19] <nalioth> ubotu: tell atripathi about fixres
[09:19] <Tallia1[UbuntU] > nalioth: where did you set that configuration?
[09:19] <daejavu> Naaa .. i just enabled emm to c if they were had what i wanted :D
[09:20] <nalioth> Tallia1[UbuntU] : what config is that?
[09:20] <blekos> do u know what this means?W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.ubuntu.com breezy/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_breezy_main_binary-i386_Packages)

[09:21] <Tallia1[UbuntU] > nalioth: look begore
[09:21] <dravine_> Does anyone know what in ubuntu is automatically bringing up/down ethernet interfaces?
[09:21] <Tallia1[UbuntU] > i know

[09:21] <dravine_> and how to stop it from doing so?
[09:21] <nalioth> Tallia1[UbuntU] : and you should aks in #kubuntu
[09:21] <Tallia1[UbuntU] > eheh
[09:21] <Tallia1[UbuntU] > ok
[09:21] <deFrysk> blekos, post your sources.list in pastebin
[09:22] <crimsun> marcin_ant, have you read http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/fontconfig/2005-January/001109.html?
[09:22] <blekos> deFrysk, could u pls explain how to do that?
[09:22] <Darknight> do you have guys error when installing msttcorefonts in breezy?
[09:23] <deFrysk> blekos, cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:23] <dravine_> My problem is that I frequently change my IP address when setting up routers and access points and such
[09:23] <Earthen> how do i get ubot to tell me about ati
[09:23] <dravine_> and it takes ubuntu around 40 seconds to make each change
[09:23] <deFrysk> blekos, copy the output in http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[09:23] <eddan> Darknight: Just installed it, no problem..
[09:23] <deFrysk> blekos, and give us the url alfter posting it
[09:23] <dravine_> if I change an AP from  a 192 addy to a 10., I loose my eth0 connection when the AP reboots, and it takes ages to get it to switch back over
[09:24] <LasseL> !ati
[09:24] <ubotu> it has been said that ati is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI, or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557&page=1&pp=10&highlight=fglrx
[09:24] <dravine_> also, ifconfig will show no IP addy for eth0, ifup says it's already up, and ifdown says SIOCTL error or soemthing
[09:24] <dravine_> er
[09:24] <dravine_> SIOCDELRT no such process rather
[09:25] <nalioth> crimsun: you are gonna have carpal tunnel doing that
[09:25] <crimsun> thank goodness for the up arrow
[09:25] <crimsun> :)
[09:25] <dravine_> any ideas?
[09:26] <blekos> ok here is the url:
[09:26] <blekos> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/2671
[09:26] <eddan> Anyone know where I could get mplayer? Don't seem to find it in official or the community maintained reps. I'm running breezy
[09:26] <crimsun> eddan, it's in multiverse
[09:26] <NSK> http://freshmeat.net/projects/mplayer/
[09:27] <deFrysk> blekos, the last line can be removed , thats the double entry
[09:27] <rob_p> dravine_:  Would simply restarting the network be what you are looking for? (sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart)
[09:27] <blekos> i c
[09:27] <dravine_> rob_p, no
[09:27] <blekos> i'' remove it
[09:27] <dravine_> the problem is that the network does it's own thing
[09:27] <blekos> i also get this
[09:27] <blekos> rchive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_breezy_main_binary-i386_Packages)
[09:27] <blekos> W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.ubuntu.com breezy/restricted Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_breezy_restricted_binary-i386_Packages)

[09:28] <dravine_> if I reboot the AP I am configuring, I loose my connection
[09:28] <dravine_> which hoses the config on the AP
[09:28] <deFrysk> blekos, did you remove that last line ?
[09:28] <dravine_> hard to explain why I need it to stop
[09:28] <blekos> not yet
[09:28] <dravine_> but I need it to not automatically do stuff with eth0
[09:28] <blueyed> Can somebody help me with networking issues? I'm on pppoe and since breezy this causes me to use pppoeconf after each reboot/startup. I've filed this bug report in the early days of breezy, but it still causes problems after a recent dist-upgrade:http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10240
[09:28] <deFrysk> blekos, then do that , thats the fix
[09:28] <dravine_> and not take 40 seconds to save a change to the ip addy
[09:28] <blekos> i was getting this along with the previous message
[09:28] <blekos> ok deFrysk
[09:29] <deFrysk> blekos, and never paste in the chat again (flooding)
[09:29] <Buddha|> crimsun - I've looked, but I can't find anything
[09:29] <blekos> oh apologies for flooding
[09:29] <crimsun> Buddha|, anything for...?
[09:29] <blekos> i'll use the pastebin :)

[09:31] <blekos> wont happen again nalioth, dont worry
[09:31] <dravine_> man, this darned networking thing is really getting me irked
[09:32] <dravine_> it looks like laptop-net and hotplug are both trying to auto ifup/ifdown the eth0
[09:32] <dravine_> the end result is something aking to the special olympics
[09:32] <d33p> when I try to share a folder with nautilus it tells me that samba isn't installed but it is, how do I fix this?

[09:34] <Anak1n> can xine play real media files?
[09:35] <dravine_> go to ubuntuguide.org and read the howto share files easily

[09:38] <marcin_ant> crimsun, well it is a kind of explanation
[09:39] <kevogod> !ubuntuguide
[09:39] <ubotu> it has been said that ubuntuguide is out of date, breaks PCs and doesn't explain anything. The official FAQ Guide, which is based on ubuntuguide will soon be the help menu in Breezy. For more information see !faq.

[09:43] <Anak1n> what I did?
[09:43] <nalioths_dog> comforteagle, most hosting companies use bsd
[09:43] <Answer> I forget what the right command is
[09:43] <kevogod> !tell <
[09:43] <Anak1n> I don't want to play can i download ubotu and put it on irc?
[09:43] <comforteagle> nalioth, well, I mean somewhere I could lease a server
[09:44] <nalioth> Anak1n: get your own blootbot
[09:44] <Answer> !tell Anak1n about ubotu
[09:44] <comforteagle> nalioth, I'm not near any colos
[09:44] <nalioth> comforteagle: i'm not following you
[09:44] <dravine_> deFrysk, search for w32codecs in the wiki returns 0 results
[09:44] <comforteagle> I'd like to lease a dedicated ubuntu server.
[09:44] <dravine_> which is odd since that's the package name in apt
[09:44] <deFrysk> dravine_, try restricted formats
[09:44] <nalioth> comforteagle: i dont think there are such things, but i'm sure you could specify it
[09:44] <Answer> comforteagle: what is the problem you are attempting to solve?
[09:44] <comforteagle> Like severbeach, but they only use debian or RH
[09:45] <rioki> I have seen that the new release is (almost) there. say, do you need to do it over the CD, or can you kick it in with say, apt-get ?
[09:45] <pluffsy> what jabber server do you people use? I'm using jabber.com and it has downtime like EVERY day, works really bad.
[09:45] <dravine_> deFrysk, it's rather unintuitive to not include the common name of the package in there
[09:45] <smokie> boxman, i thought apt-get update can be used to update to the latest version and security updates. whats the command for this ?
[09:45] <deFrysk> dravine_, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[09:45] <Answer> !tell dravine_ about RestrictedFormats
[09:45] <deFrysk> dravine_, read Codecs and DVD-Video
[09:45] <boxman> smokie, that is upgrade or dist-upgrade
[09:46] <dravine_> why? I don't have any problems with dvd or codecs
[09:46] <narg> So, somehow grub got an error 17, so I want to reinstall it, but windows is on /dev/hda1 atm, so knoppix doesnt want to do it with grub-install. Any suggestions?
[09:46] <deFrysk> cos it has explanation about w32codecs dravine_
[09:46] <boxman> update only renews the apt archives
[09:46] <janne_Newbie> hi! i have some problem...
[09:46] <boxman> so if you change something in the apt file, then it is a good idea to do a update
[09:46] <smokie> boxman, dist for the next release and upgrade for security patches ?
[09:46] <Anak1n> ok ther is no need for that behavior
[09:46] <eruin> anyone else having issues with totem in breezy? I get a segfault :o
[09:47] <boxman> smokie, there is a difference, but i am not 100% sure about dist-upgrade vs upgrade
[09:47] <janne_Newbie> how i can put ubuntu cd in repository list again...?
[09:47] <boxman> i usually use dist-upgrade to update all the packages
[09:47] <Answer> eruin: totem isn't used for anything productive, is it
[09:47] <blekos> hmm not many pple like totem
[09:47] <dravine_> wow,
[09:47] <boxman> upgrade all the packages*
[09:47] <dravine_> it may be illegal in your country
[09:47] <nalioths_dog> janne_Newbie, apt-cdrom
[09:47] <blekos> have u tried anyone else?
[09:47] <dravine_> still, a search for w32codecs in the wiki should show that page
[09:47] <janne_Newbie> i just removed it...and when i try to put it back it give some errors...
[09:47] <snorks> I need to edit /etc/hosts, but I do not have write permission, and sudo doesn't work! Not even sudo -s -H
[09:47] <dravine_> doesn't make sense for it not to
[09:47] <janne_Newbie> apt-cdrom?
[09:48] <eruin> Answer, oh yes
[09:48] <janne_Newbie> ill try...
[09:48] <nalioth> janne_Newbie: yes, run that
[09:48] <nalioth> who wants w32codecs?
[09:48] <mazatl> Im tryint apt-get install java
[09:48] <mazatl> but it says not found
[09:48] <mazatl> how do I install java?
[09:48] <rioki> the difference is only if they are flaged aproptiatly for a dist-upgrade
[09:48] <coobra> google :P
[09:48] <mazatl> I looked on ubuntuguide.org and their directions do not work
[09:48] <Anak1n> !java
[09:48] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, java is to install both 1.4 and Sun Java see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats#java
[09:48] <rioki> in debian this is an issue
[09:48] <mazatl> fuck you coobra
[09:48] <DarthFrog> Is there a FAQ/Guide to upgrading Hoary to Breezy?
[09:48] <mazatl> shut up with that shit
[09:48] <nalioth> DarthFrog: read the /topic
[09:48] <rioki> it will not update a kernel, for example with only upgrade
[09:48] <nalioth> mazatl: language please
[09:48] <deFrysk> nalioth, its about what place to send people to for w32codec explenation
[09:49] <kevogod> mazatl, That is because ubuntuguide.org is not safe to use.
[09:49] <snorks> I need to edit /etc/hosts, but I do not have write permission, and sudo doesn't work! Not even sudo -s -H
[09:49] <blueyed> Can somebody help me with networking issues? I'm on pppoe and since breezy this causes me to use pppoeconf after each reboot/startup. I've filed this bug report in the early days of breezy, but it still causes problems after a recent dist-upgrade: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10240
[09:49] <BooZee> what is the diffrence between ubuntu and debian ?
[09:49] <DarthFrog> nalioth: Thanks! :-)  It went by so fast, I didn't notice it.
[09:49] <deFrysk> nalioth, it seems a bit hard to find in the wiki
[09:49] <Answer> dravine_, deFrysk:  just do a text search instead of a title search for w32codecs and it will show you many useful pages on RestrictedFormats
[09:49] <rioki> ub is repackaged... with better hw suport
[09:49] <dravine_> I'm not really concerned with the codecs
[09:49] <dravine_> they work fine for me
[09:50] <deFrysk> Answer, its not me who is having probs with finding it
[09:50] <dravine_> what does not work fine is the lame ass autohosing of the ethernet connection
[09:50] <kevogod> Is Sun Java in Hoary repositories anymore?
[09:50] <BooZee> rioki: but i'm actually running debian (now - after the installation is finished?
[09:50] <Answer> It is very easy to find.  Just search for text instead of titles.
[09:50] <snorks> stig@ubuntu:/etc$ sudo -s -H
[09:50] <snorks> sudo: unable to lookup ubuntu via gethostbyname()
[09:50] <dravine_> and the 40 seconds it takes to change the damned IP addy
[09:50] <nalioth> kevogod: no
[09:50] <kevogod> nalioth, OK, just checking
[09:50] <snorks> I need to find out how to do stuff as root. It WONT let me, omg
[09:50] <nalioth> snorks: common problem
[09:50] <rioki> boozee what did you install?
[09:50] <deFrysk> kevogod, in the wiki is a good howto for installing java
[09:50] <snorks> nalioth, do you know how to fix_
[09:50] <janne_Newbie> thanks very much....u r jewellery.....nalioth
[09:50] <Answer> dravine_:  Sounds like your network is slow.
[09:50] <rioki> well ub "builds" on debian
[09:50] <BooZee> rioki: ubuntu...
[09:51] <nalioth> snorks: join #kubuntu-offtopic
[09:51] <dravine_> Answer, has nothing to do with the network
[09:51] <kevogod> deFrysk, I do not need to install Java.
[09:51] <dravine_> it's a static IP addy
[09:51] <james> how do I set the radio state in my wireless card from 2 to 0?
[09:51] <rioki> well there is not to big difference
[09:51] <janne_Newbie> keep up good work nalioth...soon my Finnish Ubuntu pages r finished...
[09:51] <dravine_> the issue is the laptop-net or hotplug script that's trying to do the ifup/ifdown on it's own
[09:51] <rioki> onyl that they repackaged packages ...
[09:52] <janne_Newbie> So we hopely get more users to ubuntu...
[09:52] <DarthFrog> nalioth: That URL in the topic about upgrading to Breezy actually has  nothing to do with it - it tells you how to get a CD image.
[09:52] <Anak1n> what about ubuntu and skype?
[09:52] <janne_Newbie> bye..!
[09:52] <DarthFrog> nalioth: Never mind. :-)
[09:52] <DarthFrog> <hangs head in shame at loading the wrong URL> :-)
[09:52] <BooZee> rioki: so if I need help, i can get it in debian chat rooms and forums too, right?
[09:52] <Answer> dravine_: To be clear, the issue is your own inexperience with configuring the default network values.
[09:52] <deFrysk> hehe DarthFrog
[09:53] <rioki> dependy, but in many casses yes
[09:53] <nalioth> DarthFrog: /msg ubotu upgrade2breezy
[09:53] <dravine_> Answer, the issue is that I can't find where to disable the auto config stuff
[09:53] <rioki> BooZee the thing is that like debian they folow the policy to leve stuff as it should be...
[09:53] <dravine_> I think hotplug and laptop-net are stepping on each others toes
[09:54] <DarthFrog> nalioth: Sorry, I loaded the wrong URL. :-)
[09:54] <Answer> dravine_: Why are you running them at all?
[09:54] <rioki> (BooZee) not hack it together to work with say YaSt...
[09:54] <dravine_> Answer, I didn't install them
[09:54] <dravine_> I think it was just installed by default
[09:54] <BooZee> rioki: what is yast?
[09:54] <dravine_> or perhaps got installed with laptop-tools
[09:54] <deFrysk> yet another system tool
[09:54] <rioki> Yet an other Setup toll ... SuSe main config program
[09:54] <dravine_> laptop-mode-tools rather
[09:55] <deFrysk> yast is the ruler and master of suse and it s*ks
[09:55] <Answer> dravine_: Ok, and you want to configure laptop-mode-tools to do what?
[09:55] <johnny06> hi i am having a hard time installing w32codecs,can anybody give me a repo to add please
[09:55] <daejavu> is there any other place then ubuntuguide from where i can get repositories ?
[09:55] <dravine_> I'm not doing anything with laptop-mode-tools
[09:55] <nalioth> deFrysk: trolling in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[09:55] <dravine_> I just want it to stop bringing up and down eth0 on it's own
[09:55] <nalioth> johnny06: hoary or breezy?
[09:55] <johnny06> hoary
[09:55] <_jason> !tell johnny06 about restricted
[09:55] <Answer> dravine_: Uninstall it.  I do not see any "laptop-mode-tools"
[09:55] <deFrysk> nalioth, someone asked about yast so I explained
[09:55] <nalioth> daejavu: using non ubuntu repos will kill your box
[09:56] <deFrysk> i hope that is allowed ?
[09:56] <dravine_> Answer, don't worry about it, I'll figure it out
[09:56] <mazatl> who maintains ubuntuguide.org?
[09:56] <dravine_> it's taken more time to explain it than it will to fix it
[09:56] <nalioth> johnny06: http://www.giannaros.org/public/hoarydebs/
[09:56] <mazatl> all of the info never worked for me
[09:56] <nalioth> ubuntuguide is currently unmaintained
[09:56] <daejavu> nalioth, actually i can find my kernel headers  using the ones listed on ubuntuguide :S
[09:56] <nalioth> daejavu: dont get comfy with the 'guide, it'll bite you
[09:57] <daejavu> nalioth, lolz ..  well i need to headers preety badly !  any suggestions ?
[09:57] <mazatl> lolz
[09:57] <mazatl> please dont say lolz
[09:57] <mazatl> just say 'lol'
[09:57] <mazatl> no 'z' added, please
[09:58] <nalioth> daejavu: you just said the 'guide tells you how
[09:58] <daejavu> nalioth, have u  got the headers installed on ur system ? if yes then from whre u got emm :)
[09:58] <Answer> How can I take a screenshot of display zero from the command line over ssh?
[09:58] <RamzeS> hi all. in what package i can find stdio.h, conio.h,....? (sorry for my bad english)
[09:58] <BooZee> i've seen some debian terminals styled real nice: the host name was bolded in another color from the regular text. how can I do that?
[09:59] <nightswim> BooZee: search for fancy bash prompts
[09:59] <nalioth> daejavu: open synaptic and search for "kernel" find the headers for your kernel
[09:59] <nightswim> it's the PS2 variable
[09:59] <johnny06> thanks nalioth
[09:59] <smergler> hey, question, how does one add users in a new ubuntu system
[09:59] <nalioth> BooZee: ask uncle google about bashrc
[09:59] <delp> is the password for su the same as the admin login password?
[09:59] <smergler> i try adduser and useradd... but they dont seem to do what i want
[09:59] <rioki> no root on ubuntu
[10:00] <deFrysk> delp ubuntu uses sudo , not su
[10:00] <rioki> well no pwd, user sudo
[10:00] <delp> ok
[10:00] <Answer> smergler:  useradd is what you want
[10:00] <deFrysk> !tell delp about sudo
[10:00] <nalioth> smergler: system > admin > users and groups
[10:00] <daejavu> nalioth, well heres the problem ! it says the only headers installed are not matching with the kernel.so they are not installed , neither they showup in the synaptic list
[10:00] <smergler> Answer: thats in gnome though...
[10:00] <mazatl> root@xochiyotl:/home/mazatl# apt-get install j2re1.4
[10:00] <mazatl> Reading package lists... Done
[10:00] <mazatl> Building dependency tree... Done
[10:00] <mazatl> Package j2re1.4 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[10:00] <mazatl> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[10:00] <mazatl> is only available from another source
[10:00] <mazatl> E: Package j2re1.4 has no installation candidate
[10:00] <nalioth> hate lage
[10:01] <nalioth> lag
[10:01] <smergler> Answer: i need to do it through bash
[10:01] <Answer> smergler: useradd is a shell command.
[10:01] <mazatl> ?
[10:01] <Answer> smergler:  man useradd
[10:01] <deFrysk> mazatl, 1, please dont flood
[10:01] <nalioth> mazatl: hoary or breezy?
[10:01] <mazatl> hoary
[10:01] <mazatl> how was I flooding?
[10:01] <mazatl> I pasted some thing that happened in my terminal
[10:01] <nalioth> mazatl: http://www.giannaros.org/public/hoarydebs/
[10:01] <mazatl> flooding is malicious
[10:01] <nalioth> mazatl: dont paste in here
[10:01] <_jason> !pastebin
[10:01] <ubotu> methinks pastebin is a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[10:02] <deFrysk> mazatl, no more then 4 lines next time
[10:02] <nalioth> deFrysk: can you join me in #kubuntu-offtopic a minute?
[10:02] <RamzeS> in what package i can find stdio.h, conio.h,....? (sorry for my bad english)
[10:02] <Answer> pasting != flooding, but pasting is equally unappreciated here.
[10:02] <mazatl> how do I instal those debian packages?
[10:02] <mazatl> I download/install both?
[10:02] <nalioth> mazatl: they are ubuntu packages
[10:02] <nalioth> mazatl: get what you need
[10:02] <nalioth> mazatl: sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[10:02] <mazatl> cool thanks
[10:04] <RamzeS> in what package i can find stdio.h, conio.h,....???
[10:05] <maddler> RamzeS: you can use dpkg -S stdio.h
[10:05] <Answer> How can I take a screenshot of display zero from the command line over ssh?
[10:05] <carlos> hola
[10:05] <mazatl> nalioth, where can I get packages for breezy?
[10:05] <carlos> alguien de venezuela?
[10:05] <nalioth> mazatl: http://giannaros.org/tor/bt/
[10:05] <mazatl> nadien
[10:05] <nalioth> ubotu: tell carlos ex
[10:06] <nalioth> ubotu: tell carlos es
[10:06] <nalioth> ubotu: tell carlos about es
[10:07] <deFrysk> !es
[10:07] <ubotu> Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[10:07] <carlos> ok!
[10:08] <jess1423> bonsoir
[10:08] <RamzeS> maddler, i want to know the name of package wich contein stdio.h, conio.h ....
[10:08] <tga> howdy jess1423
[10:08] <jess1423> moi francais vous aussi
[10:09] <tga> jess1423, #ubuntu-fr
[10:09] <B_166-ER-X> jess1423 , bonsoir, j'espere que tu parle anglais, parcque ici c'est un chan anglophone
[10:09] <asdffdas> how does one clear the wep key? is it possible to have iwconfig eth0 key open and yet have a cleared key (no key set)?
[10:09] <daejavu> how can i shut down X completely and return to terminal ?
[10:09] <tga> asdffdas, iwconfig eth1 key off
[10:09] <daejavu> it was something like init.d/blah blah
[10:09] <asdffdas> tga, but that disables wep key support, doesnt it?
[10:10] <tga> asdffdas, yeah, isn't that what you want?
[10:10] <tga> asdffdas, what's the point of WEP with no key?
[10:10] <asdffdas> daejavu: type init 0 to go to console, init 1 to go back to x
[10:10] <delp> anyone know how to have different background images on each workspace?
[10:10] <asdffdas> tga, well, i am trying to use xsupplicant to authenticate to a network that assigns a key so having one set is not good
[10:10] <tga> delp, I don't think you can do that
[10:11] <nalioth> tga: you can, but it's currently way beta
[10:11] <tga> nalioth, in Hoary?
[10:11] <maddler> RamzeS: have you tried dpkg -S ?
[10:11] <nalioth> tga: wallpapoz.sourceforge.net
[10:11] <RamzeS> maddler, yes
[10:11] <maddler> and... ?
[10:11] <tga> asdffdas, sorry, no idea about xsupplicant
[10:12] <maddler> RamzeS: what about the output? ;)
[10:12] <neoliminal> I think something odd is happening with my memory.
[10:12] <RamzeS> maddler, root@StoR ~/coding/frst # dpkg -S stdio.h

[10:12] <tga> nalioth, it doesn't seem to be an Ubuntu feature
[10:12] <nalioth> tga: did you see that website?
[10:13] <HiddenFly> smokie: whatch your hiligths :)
[10:13] <BooZee> well, i've googled bashrc and couldn't find explanation about the specific color and style change of the command line. only aliases and scripts...
[10:13] <asdffdas> tga, my problem seem sto be that if i turn off key xsupplicant complains that key support is off... if i turn it on it adds a key and doesnt let xsupplicant add its own
[10:13] <neoliminal> From top it looks like all my memory is being used, but top doesn't show anything using that much memory.
[10:13] <HiddenFly> *watch
[10:13] <tga> nalioth, yes, it looks like a third party thingie
[10:14] <nalioth> tga: ahem. most things in ubuntu are 3d party things
[10:14] <neoliminal> anyone?
[10:14] <neoliminal> How do I tell how physical memory is being used?
[10:15] <mazatl> System Monitor?
[10:15] <mazatl> In the system tools

[10:15] <deFrysk> neoliminal, your flooding , dont
[10:16] <mazatl> he did 5 lines for fucks sake
[10:16] <mazatl> goddamn, everything is flooding
[10:16] <ColonelKernel> neoliminal, be sure to realize, linux uses up most of your memory
[10:16] <neoliminal> So the memory is normally this used up?
[10:16] <BooZee> so anybody can help me with some bashrc (As I was told here) styling of the command line? couldn't find the spacific help in google..
[10:16] <joh> Eh, are the madwifi driver broken now? When I insert my cardbus card, I get this message in syslog: PCI: device 0001:11:00.0 has unknown header type 11, ignoring.
[10:16] <Answer> How can I take a screenshot of display zero from the command line over ssh?
[10:16] <deFrysk> mazatl, with 500 people in the channel we have to be strict
[10:16] <nightswim> BooZee: if you google for "fancy prompt bash" you should get some tips
[10:16] <BooZee> i'll try it.
[10:17] <mazatl> are 500 people talking at the same time?
[10:17] <deFrysk> mazatl, dont argue
[10:17] <neoliminal> deFrysk:  sorry for the two extra lines
[10:17] <esac_> i just did a dist-upgrade and when "Starting laptop_mode" I got errors HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(setidle1) failed: Input/output error. basename: too few arguments. HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(setidle1) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device.  .... are these known, should i file a bug ?
[10:17] <deFrysk> mazatl, your waisting your energy

[10:18] <mazatl> are you an op deFrysk ?
[10:18] <neoliminal> ColonelKernel: How do I see how the actual memory is being used?

[10:19] <DarthFrog> apokryphos: Tnx.
[10:20] <Answer> mazatl: There is a mute command tho.
[10:20] <mazatl> not on ops
[10:20] <davmor2> I'm having a problem with Gmail-notify (it doesn't seem to work) yet it did a while back.
[10:20] <Answer> you can mute ops or anyone you want
[10:20] <_jason> neoliminal:  that's letting you know how much memory you have free because the cache is being used... but its cache so it cna be used if needed
[10:20] <apokryphos> Answer: no, you can only set them /ignored
[10:20] <neoliminal> ok cool
[10:20] <neoliminal> thanks _jason
[10:21] <_jason> neoliminal:  np
[10:21] <mazatl> are you guys ops on the ubuntu-es channel?
[10:21] <test34> Any better irc client for X than xchat ?
[10:21] <_stefan> thx
[10:21] <_stefan> gstreamer0.8-plugins was the answer
[10:21] <apokryphos> mazatl: /chanserv access #ubuntu-es list
[10:21] <Answer> test34: I like trillian
[10:21] <_stefan> ciao
[10:22] <test34> Answer, I will take a look at it thanks
[10:22] <Answer> test34: Most chat clients will allow you to do multiple protocols, including irc
[10:22] <Answer> How can I take a screenshot of display zero from the command line over ssh?
[10:22] <mazatl> test34 do you want a graphical irc client?
[10:23] <test34> mazatl, yes
[10:23] <davmor2> Can anyone help at all?
[10:23] <Answer> How can I take a screenshot of display zero from the command line over ssh? scrot will not allow display as a parameter, and ksnapshot you have to click Save so it's not command line
[10:24] <Chambers`> Are smb mount points not possible in latest Breezy?
[10:24] <Answer> davmor2: If it worked before you could try removing it then reinstalling it
[10:24] <Fanskapet> eh.. is ubuntu using utf8 as standard?
[10:24] <Chambers`> I thought it was mount -t smbfs //servername/sharename /mountdirectory -o username=mywindowsusername,password=mywindowspassword  but i try it and i get a wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock error
[10:24] <esac_> Fanskapet: it's probably using the default NLS which is set by the kernel
[10:24] <Fanskapet> agh
[10:24] <Chambers`> i also tried specifying vfat and got an error saying direcotry doesn't exist or something
[10:24] <Fanskapet> I can't get that damn irssi to work nice with swedish chars in both windows/putty and ubuntu/ssh!!
[10:25] <Fanskapet> it's driving me mad!
[10:25] <Answer> Chambers: So what file system type is it ?
[10:25] <Chambers`> isn't it supposed to mount as smbfs?
[10:25] <Chambers`> the filesystem on the share is fat32
[10:25] <davmor2> answer: I have a completely fresh install on and it still doesn't work.  I am wondering if a program it relies on has been updated and nolonger supports the command but I don't know anything about python or programming
[10:26] <Chambers`> but i thought samba worked differently
[10:27] <hardwareUpdate> hello
[10:27] <Answer> Chambers`: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions?highlight=%28fat32%29
[10:27] <NSK> hi
[10:27] <davmor2> hardwareUpdate: hello
[10:28] <hardwareUpdate> can I connect a windows xp to ubuntu Remote Desktop???
[10:28] <davmor2> bob2: are you awake?
[10:29] <Jan_> So let me get this straight.
[10:29] <Answer> davmor2: Is gmail-notify a synaptic package?
[10:29] <luite> is it possible to purge all configuration files for all packages that are not currently installed? and is it possible to list all installed packages with their size (not of the package file but the total size of the installed files)
[10:29] <Jan_> Let's see. / is root, /root is root, you are root when you su root, plus roots are mounted in /mnt, which may also have / or /root.
[10:29] <Jan_> How is this in any way clear.
[10:30] <Answer> Jan_: You should read an Intro to Linux/Unix webpage about root.
[10:30] <Chambers`> Answer: I'm not mounting a partition, i'm talking about a windows network share
[10:30] <hardwareUpdate> Does anybody if can I connect a windows xp to ubuntu Remote Desktop???
[10:30] <Jan_> Answer: That's where I got that from.
[10:30] <g|patrick> can someone recommend a good dvb-s player?
[10:30] <Answer> hardwareUpdate:  You could use a vnc program, like tightvnc
[10:30] <Chambers`> hardwareUpdate: yes, use a vnc viewer
[10:30] <Answer> Jan_: So do you have a specific question?
[10:30] <Jan_> wouldn't that just be an mpeg2 viewer?
[10:31] <Jan_> Answer: Yes. Why are there so many things called root?
[10:31] <davmor2> Answer: yes it is in universe I think acts like msn messenger notify,  let's you know when you have new mail.
[10:31] <mohkohn> Has anybody here used UML?
[10:31] <Answer> davmor2: In synaptic, you can try to ForceVersion to the old version if it used to work and you think the update broke
[10:31] <Jan_> I don't get why you mount every filesystem except root in /mnt, which is apparently INSIDE root.
[10:31] <snorks> Is there anyone who have an idea why I can't sudo? I can't do jack s**t
[10:32] <Answer> snorks: You have to be in the sudoers group to sudo
[10:32] <hardwareUpdate> where do i get vnc viewer?????
[10:32] <Answer> hardwareUpdate: google tightvnc
[10:32] <Chambers`> hardwareUpdate: tightvnc.org
[10:32] <snorks> Answer, it won't let me cat it, because I can't sudo
[10:32] <Chambers`> or google
[10:32] <snorks> I am the first user created
[10:32] <Answer> snorks: What are you trying to do?
[10:32] <james> hi,
[10:33] <james> how can I find out my root, su password?
[10:33] <Chambers`> Answer: any response about my samba share mount question?  I'm not mounting a partition, I am trying to mount a remote network share
[10:33] <Chousuke> james: no such thing
[10:33] <Chousuke> :)
[10:33] <davmor2> Answer: That is part of the problem I don't know weather it is a new version of gmail-notify or a program it relies on.
[10:33] <snorks> Answer, I am trying to be able to administrate my computer. I can't sudo. I can't sudo -s -H. I can't do ANYthing
[10:33] <Chousuke> !root
[10:33] <ubotu> [root]  disabled in Ubuntu, you can read all about it on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo
[10:33] <snorks> Answer, check this out:
[10:33] <Chambers`> why can't you sudo?
[10:33] <Answer> Chambers`: In the File Manager, to go File->Connect to Server, and choose Windows Share
[10:33] <snorks> That's the problem :/
[10:33] <snorks> stig@ubuntu:/etc$ sudo
[10:33] <snorks> sudo: unable to lookup ubuntu via gethostbyname()
[10:33] <planetcall> X crashed while trying to fix resolution :(
[10:33] <Chousuke> snorks: ee
[10:33] <Chambers`> heh
[10:34] <Chambers`> that's funny
[10:34] <Answer> snorks: What are you trying to do ?
[10:34] <g|patrick> can someone recommend a good dvb-s player?
[10:34] <Chousuke> snorks: boot into single user mode.
[10:34] <james> ok :( will have to reinstall
[10:34] <snorks> Id like to initi 2
[10:34] <Chousuke> james: hmm?
[10:34] <Chousuke> james: why?
[10:34] <Chambers`> thanks Answer, i will try when i get home
[10:34] <snorks> Answer, I am trying to do anything. It won't let me do anything, because I can't sudo
[10:34] <snorks> I simply can't sudo
[10:34] <james> well i need to know the root password?
[10:35] <planetcall> I hope the resolution thing goes better in new build
[10:35] <Chousuke> james: there is none.
[10:35] <james> and you set it when installing?
[10:35] <james> oh
[10:35] <Chousuke> james: use sudo
[10:35] <Chambers`> Answer: but is there a way to mount it?  I'd like to mount that share into my home dir on each log in
[10:35] <snorks> Answer, to put it in another way, I want to edit /etc/hosts, but I don't have write permissions. Why? I can't sudo
[10:35] <Chousuke> and your own password.
[10:35] <james> right
[10:35] <james> thanks :) also which tutorial should I follow in install ATI drivers?
[10:35] <_native_> ok i enabled the nvidia driver now  my screen rez is 800x600 it should be 1024x768
[10:35] <james> ive tried the Easy Ubuntu tool but does not appear to be working
[10:36] <Chousuke> !drivers
[10:36] <ubotu> [drivers]  https://wiki.ubuntu.com//BinaryDriverHowto
[10:36] <nalioth_zZz> james: please dont use that tool
[10:36] <james> really oh?
[10:36] <nalioth_zZz> james: it has horribly scarred many user
[10:36] <snorks> Answer, any ideas?
[10:36] <james> ive already run it a couple of times, very misleading :(
[10:36] <Answer> Chambers`: Did you read the website ?
[10:36] <Answer> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions?highlight=%28fat32%29
[10:36] <_native_> i used the howto. its very incomplete and does not cover
[10:37] <gloria> why is it that when I try to go into vida guerra's web site I get signed out automaticaly before anything pop's out?? they told me you guys are the smartest ubuntu people.
[10:37] <_native_> much of anything
[10:37] <Answer> snorks: msg me
[10:37] <Chambers`> Answer: wrong info
[10:37] <snorks> You know when you hit System - Administration - Users and Groups, you are supposed to be prompted for password. Nothing happens, and the process gets killed
[10:37] <Chambers`> Answer: that talks about partitions, not network shares
[10:38] <Answer> Chamners`: Oh ok, so you want your windows fat32 share to automatically be something like /mnt/windows
[10:38] <juliux> hi has any body a ppc?
[10:38] <Chambers`> exactly
[10:38] <Chousuke> juliux: I do, but I'm not running Ubuntu on it :/
[10:38] <Chousuke> Will test it though when I get the CDs
[10:38] <juliux> Chousuke, i also but the breezy kernel did not boot
[10:39] <juliux> Chousuke, it hangs by setup_arch: enter

[10:39] <prateeks> anyone knows how to configure VNC srver
[10:39] <juliux> Chousuke, sorry i did not read correctly
[10:39] <prateeks> anyone knows how to configure VNC server
[10:39] <cute_bettong> ok whats going on with mplayer?
[10:40] <prateeks> mplayer really sucks on ubuntu
[10:40] <cute_bettong> so what to use then?
[10:40] <ColonelKernel> prateeks, nonsense
[10:40] <cute_bettong> i'm useing breezy
[10:40] <esac_> vlc ?
[10:40] <g|patrick> good night guys: :)
[10:40] <prateeks> use vlc
[10:40] <_jason> cute_bettong:  try totem-xine, but mplayer runs fine for me
[10:40] <prateeks> ya vlc

[10:40] <prateeks> is better
[10:40] <esac_> good choice prateeks
[10:40] <cute_bettong> ok i'll try it
[10:41] <prateeks> thr is a problem wid framerate
[10:41] <Answer> prateeks: Download and use tightvnc.  There is sufficient online documentation for tweaking the paramenters
[10:41] <prateeks> wen u use mplayer
[10:41] <davmor2> prateeks: no but I'm sure there are some tutorials about try googling for them might be easier to follow than over the irc
[10:41] <minerva> hola
[10:41] <prateeks> ohhh
[10:41] <prateeks> what is the default port on whihc it runs ?
[10:41] <minerva> hello
[10:42] <Lars_G> Hi all.
[10:42] <Lars_G> I have an (innocent) question.
[10:43] <cute_bettong> does vlc come with the plugins it needs or do i have to get them?
[10:43] <prateeks> ya
[10:43] <prateeks> ask
[10:43] <nightswim> oh dear
[10:43] <Chambers`> comes wiht them
[10:43] <Lars_G> I've checked ubuntu's licensing but I can't find an answer to my question....
[10:43] <Chambers`> ask
[10:43] <Lars_G> Are we obligated or entitled to call Mr. Shuttleworth "Dad" ?
[10:43] <prateeks> ya comes along with teh
[10:43] <tristanmike> cute_bettong, vlc comes with it's own plugins, that's why it's fantastic :)
[10:43] <holycow> Lars_G, rofl!
[10:43] <Chousuke> Lars_G: :D
[10:43] <tristanmike> Lars_G, lol
[10:43] <cute_bettong> yea mplayer wasen't working right for me it woulden't play all .wmv and .avi files
[10:43] <_native_> nvidia drivers fussed my rezolution
[10:43] <prateeks> anyone can tell how can we play .rm files on vlc ?
[10:43] <cute_bettong> kept tellin me something wasen't right
[10:44] <Lars_G> prateeks: w32codecs might be what you're looking for.
[10:44] <_jason> cute_bettong:  did you install the w32codecs?
[10:44] <fanskapet_> sigh this is hopeless im getting tired of ubuntu.. for one thing that really should be one of the simplest to change
[10:44] <cute_bettong> yea i did
[10:44] <Lars_G> prateeks: But, there is also a realplayer for linux too....
[10:44] <cute_bettong> i installed everything includeing files from there website
[10:44] <Lars_G> fanopanic: What are you talking about?
[10:44] <Answer> RealPlayer is unnecessary and disgusting
[10:44] <Lars_G> Answer: Unnecesary yes, but not so disgusting.
[10:44] <cute_bettong> and it was still yakkin about how it shoulden't crash and that i should recompile it
[10:44] <kevogod> It is not disgusting on Linux.
[10:45] <flam> if i upgrade to breezy, can i still get the new boot-procedure with picture even if i use lilo or do i have to install grub instead?
[10:45] <Answer> If you don't hate realplayer then you haven't watch the packet traffic it sends
[10:46] <cute_bettong> could i have somehow set up mplayer wrong?
[10:46] <fanskapet_> hmm anyone else using eg. irssi on another server with swedish chars?
[10:46] <Answer> cute_bettong: Yes it is possible that you have somehow setup mplayer wrong
[10:46] <fanskapet_> when i change to utf on irssi it works with ssh in ubuntu
[10:46] <fanskapet_> but then it doesn't work in putty/windows instead
[10:46] <Lars_G> flam: In my experience it's always good to have grub anyhow.
[10:46] <cute_bettong> but i did everything through synaptic
[10:47] <cute_bettong> includeing getting the w32codeces
[10:47] <_jason> cute_bettong:  all I had to do was install the right version (-586), install the fonts package, edit the config files for esd sound, and install w32codecs... if you did all that then idk
[10:47] <Lars_G> fanskapet_: Configure your putty correctly.
[10:47] <fanskapet_> i hate utf! it's not a wide-spread standard yet.. so why use it!? *agh*
[10:47] <Answer> cute_bettong: What are you trying to do ?
[10:47] <flam> Lars_G, hm. ok.
[10:47] <Lars_G> fanskapet_: It's pretty widespread, and how will it spread if you don't use it?
[10:47] <cute_bettong> view .wmv .avi files
[10:47] <cute_bettong> some work some don't
[10:47] <GhostFreeman> Where's the Xubuntu crew at?
[10:47] <Lars_G> GhostFreeman: xubuntu? what's it?
[10:47] <kevogod> GhostFreeman, Try #xubuntu
[10:47] <Answer> I think there should be a separate channel called #ubuntu-pron for all these freakin .wmv .avi questions
[10:48] <fanskapet_> Lars_G, hummz.. compare it to how many operating systems that doesn't use utf
[10:48] <GhostFreeman> done and done
[10:48] <Lars_G> fanskapet_: For example?
[10:49] <fanskapet_> Lars_G,  say the biggest platform right now for end-users windows?
[10:49] <Lars_G> fanskapet_: Windows is consistently moving to unicode as a standard....
[10:49] <fanskapet_> even though i have not much for windows and microsoft it is the biggest widespread platform
[10:49] <Lars_G> fanskapet_: but if you hate unicode so much, why the hell do you use it?
[10:50] <Jan_> Is there some odd way ubuntu mounts CD-ROMs?
[10:50] <Jan_> My pal has an icon on the desktop for it, but /mnt appears empty
[10:50] <fanskapet_> Lars_G, that's the real problem i can't get eg. iso-8859-1 to work in ubuntu
[10:50] <kevogod> Lars_G, Xubuntu is Xfce4 version of Ubuntu.
[10:50] <_native_> BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia really needs to cover more ground. it assumes that if you follow this howto your problem will be solved, but thats not the case.
[10:50] <Lars_G> fanskapet_: Then, you need to read and learn more on Locales and character encodings.
[10:50] <davmor2> Jan_: it mount under /media not /mnt
[10:51] <Lars_G> kevogod: Thanks. Nice to hear, xfce4 is a great wm.
[10:51] <fanskapet_> i have nothing against utf-8 itself it's just that it's not wise to use this as standard when other much bigger platforms doesn't even support it.
[10:51] <cute_bettong> no i was just wondering if mplayer won't play every .avi .wmv file it encounters
[10:51] <fanskapet_> that just seems stupied if the goal for ubuntu really is to be a end-user platform
[10:51] <Anak1n> !mp-layer
[10:51] <ubotu> I haven't a clue, Anak1n
[10:51] <Recon> A makefile I have links to usr/X11R6/, which doesn't exist. What do I do?
[10:51] <Anak1n> !mplayer
[10:51] <ubotu> somebody said mplayer was https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MplayerInstallHowto.  For compiling, see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31061
[10:51] <_native_>  xfce is in the repository now?
[10:52] <fanskapet_> Lars_G, and how would one configure putty "correctly"
[10:52] <kevogod> _native_, Are you using Breezy?
[10:52] <fanskapet_> putty doesn't support utf-8 ?
[10:52] <cute_bettong> hmmm
[10:52] <fanskapet_> or does it?
[10:52] <davmor2> Is Anyone A Python Hacker?
[10:52] <NightLord> where can i get wmv codecs for totem player
[10:52] <Lars_G> fanskapet_: I'm sure it does.
[10:52] <fanskapet_> hm maybe it does
[10:53] <nalioth_zZz> NightLord: hoary or breezy

[10:56] <davmor2> cosimo: no idea but I think all the artwork is having an overhaul

[11:00] <vbgunz> BooZee: I believe you can do that from the login menu
[11:00] <BooZee> my system is localized, and I want to make it enabled
[11:00] <anatole> i messed up my sudoers list :/
[11:00] <Lars_G> anatole: Hit tab at "Lilo:" it should show a list of bootable images.
[11:00] <anatole> thanks
[11:00] <Kyral> anyone know how to compile SSL support into gFTP?
[11:00] <nessmuk> I changed a video card so it would work with a Win98 install, and now it's not recognized in my Ubuntu install. Can I edit a file to fix this, or do I need to re-install Ubuntu?
[11:00] <JDigital> Marxist: I killalled mplayer, the manpage is no help
[11:00] <BooZee> and how can I make it the default?
[11:00] <Lars_G> anatole: If you have none labeled recovery, type your normal one ad add this to the end: "single".
[11:01] <BooZee> vbgunz: how can I make it default?
[11:01] <Lars_G> anatole: So, if oyu have only "Linux" on the list. type "Linux single" and enter
[11:01] <Marxist> there is a key you can use to progress or regress the audio currently being played
[11:01] <Marxist> let me look it up for you
[11:01] <BlueEagle> boozee: When you log on click on the "Lanugage" item. Also it helped me by choosing the local locale when installing. Had some troubles with utf-8 when I didn't do that.
[11:01] <vbgunz> BooZee: not sure, I believe before you login yuo can select it... It has to be in the preference or administrative menus somewhere
[11:01] <anatole> thank you Lars_G
[11:02] <anatole> trying it right now
[11:02] <Lars_G> anatole: Np, and good luck
[11:02] <vbgunz> on breezy I believe it is System > Administration > Language Selector?
[11:02] <JDigital> Marxist: Yes, but it only goes up and down in increments of 100ms
[11:02] <JDigital> mine is 280ms
[11:02] <BlueEagle> nessmuk: Which graphics card?
[11:02] <JDigital> and it resets to 280ms when I start
[11:02] <BlueEagle> jdigital: Sound issues?
[11:02] <JDigital> Hence I can never get it to 0ms precisely
[11:03] <JDigital> mplayer issues
[11:03] <BlueEagle> jdigital: Using ESD?
[11:03] <vbgunz> where is the grub editor? It has been removed from my menu...
[11:03] <Lars_G> Breezy switched back to ESDless alsa, no?
[11:03] <obontu> how can i install avidemux? it used to be in my synaptic, but it's not there anymore
[11:03] <brenton> anyone know of a working repository that has jre1.5?
[11:03] <BlueEagle> vbgunz: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:03] <vbgunz> My default ubuntu firefox homepage has been removed... nothing replaces it
[11:03] <Marxist> jDigital: so keep hacking away at that key until you reach your desired result
[11:04] <vbgunz> BlueEagle: I know how to do that, thanks, i am looking for the grub editor... it seemed to be removed from the menu...
[11:04] <maddler> question: how do I avoid having console messed with log? tried to modify /etc/syslog.conf but nothing changed
[11:04] <BlueEagle> maddler: is ksyslogd startet at boot?
[11:05] <JDigital> Marxist: You don't understand. The smallest increment that key will do is 100ms either way. Thus I can never reach zero precisely because I'm at 280 to begin with.
[11:05] <vbgunz> BlueEagle: I guess I am asking if it has been replaced or merged into another application?
[11:05] <BlueEagle> maddler: klogd*
[11:05] <cute_bettong> !w32codec
[11:05] <ubotu> cute_bettong: I give up, what is it?
[11:05] <obontu> !w32codec
[11:05] <JDigital> If I hit the key twice I'm down to 80ms. If I hit it again I'm down to -20ms.
[11:05] <cute_bettong> !w32codeces
[11:05] <ubotu> cute_bettong: Are you on ritalin?
[11:05] <JDigital> I want 0ms but there's no "move 10ms" key.
[11:05] <BlueEagle> vbgunz: I've never seen such an editor. :/
[11:05] <Marxist> jdigital: use xine
[11:05] <Lars_G> !w32codecs
[11:05] <cute_bettong> yes actually i am
[11:05] <ubotu> I heard w32codecs is a set of codecs for popular audio/video formats (wmv etc). Install from http://tinyurl.com/bwomt (Hoary), or http://tinyurl.com/87ofx (Breezy). 64-bit? See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=54399
[11:05] <BooZee> and how can I change my default desktop graphical environment? i'm currently using KDM, but logging into GNOME. How can I change back to GDM ?
[11:05] <maddler> BlueEagle: yup... but where can I confiure it?
[11:05] <Lars_G> cute_bettong: Me too
[11:05] <JDigital> Xine? What's that?
[11:05] <cute_bettong> lol
[11:06] <ubun2> :D
[11:06] <brenton> can someone tell me where i can find a list of ubuntu repositories? i think some of the ones mentioned on the ubuntuguide no longer work
[11:06] <Lars_G> JDigital: I guess you're being sarcastic?
[11:06] <BlueEagle> maddler: It shouldn't need configuring. It should take all log messages by default :/
[11:06] <JDigital> The name is familiar but I forget what. From the context I guess it's another video player.
[11:06] <obontu> i installed w32 codecs
[11:06] <JDigital> I like mplayer though
[11:06] <vbgunz> BlueEagle: It used to be under I believe ? System > Preferences > Boot *or* System > Administration > Boot... It's no longer there...
[11:06] <Marxist> its another multimedia player
[11:06] <nessmuk> blueeagle....ATI mach 64 GX
[11:06] <Lars_G> JDigital: xine is a multimedia player AND engine, pretty good.
[11:06] <obontu> i think but i still can't get totem to play my videos
[11:06] <maddler> BlueEagle: damn... it's impossible to work on the console... :|
[11:06] <obontu> can someone help please?
[11:06] <BooZee> vbgunz: and how can I change my default desktop graphical environment? i'm currently using KDM, but logging into GNOME. How can I change back to GDM ?
[11:06] <messju> hi. after upgrading to breezy firefox doesn't antialias some fonts (but most). is that a known issue?
[11:06] <Marxist> xine is almost the same thing, just better in my opinion
[11:06] <BlueEagle> vbgunz: Which version did it use to be there?
[11:07] <BlueEagle> vbgunz: Because I am in Hoary and there is no such entry. :/
[11:07] <Lars_G> Marxist: I agree, but I only use the engine, my fave frontend is kaffeine
[11:07] <_native_> I cant believe distros still dont have this taken care of. i used to compile the nvidia interface myself and get hardware accel manually but in 2005 i should'nt have to deal with this. the nvidia soulutions provided by the ubuntu wiki have only made the problem worse. now i have to fix what problems where cause by blindly trusting the information in ubuntu's documentation
[11:07] <BlueEagle> maddler: how does your /var/log/messages set for permissions?
[11:07] <BlueEagle> s/does/is/
[11:07] <vbgunz> BlueEagle: not sure... I am on Breezy.. It wassd here in Hoary but it's no longer around at all... it seems it was deliberately removed... I would like to know why...
[11:08] <maddler> BlueEagle: 640
[11:08] <ubun2> im surprised ubuntu is running fast on my 64mb of ram machine
[11:08] <BooZee> BlueEagle: and how can I change my default desktop graphical environment? i'm currently using KDM, but logging into GNOME. How can I change back to GDM ?
[11:08] <ubun2> reminds me of the beos r5/r6 days
[11:08] <maddler> BlueEagle: tried stopping *log* but still getting garbage on the console...
[11:08] <Marxist> the engine is all that matter
[11:09] <joh> Omg, I get kernel oops when using the latest madwifi driver :S
[11:09] <BlueEagle> maddler: that would be u+rw-x g+r-xr o-xrw, right?
[11:09] <ubun2> does anyone know whether i should convert ubuntu ext3 to ubuntu xfs/ubuntu reiserfs?
[11:09] <vbgunz> BooZee: sorry, I don't know how... I didn't like KDE on SUSE and it was one driving reason I decided to go with Ubuntu and Gnome... Hope you find help!
[11:09] <BlueEagle> maddler: /etc/init.d/klogd restart
[11:09] <ubun2> just for the sake of file system speed
[11:09] <maddler> BlueEagle: u+rw g+r o-rwx
[11:09] <BooZee> thanks
[11:09] <_native_> im such a sucker to think that i could just have a "just works" experiance with ubuntu.
[11:09] <davmor2> ubun2: does it work?
[11:10] <BooZee> anybody know how can I change my default desktop graphical environment? i'm currently using KDM, but logging into GNOME. How can I change back to GDM ?
[11:10] <billytwowilly> is there any way to get that screen in the install where I can resize partitions back after I finish installing?
[11:10] <ubun2> ubuntu installed REALLY fine on my machine
[11:10] <ubun2> i didn't do anything really
[11:10] <ubun2> the only thing i use is icewm because GNOME is a ram hog
[11:10] <ubun2> they need to have DENU for ubuntu rather than denu for gentoo :-)
[11:11] <Lars_G> ubun2: Try xfce4 it's wonderfull, as light as icewm, and more confortable to use
[11:11] <davmor2> ubun2: if it aint broke don't fix it the speed increase is realtively minor at the moment.
[11:11] <ubun2> Lars_G: I did, I still like icewm+fvwm
[11:11] <ubun2> thanks davmor2
[11:11] <Lars_G> ubun2: Your choice, your right.
[11:11] <Khaaaaaan> sup all
[11:12] <Khaaaaaan> Damn so Breezy has the Ubuntu logo instead of the Gnome foot now...
[11:12] <ubun2> Lars_G : this is probably the best form of linux i've ever used in my life and i would definitely keep using it.
[11:12] <siriusly> I rather like fluxbox :-)
[11:12] <ubun2> flux is really good i agree
[11:12] <Lars_G> ubun2: :D
[11:12] <ubun2> but i cant get the menus right
[11:12] <Lars_G> Flux is nice.
[11:12] <Khaaaaaan> ewww flux
[11:12] <Lars_G> But xfce is a little easier to config
[11:13] <ubun2> on a 64mb of ram machine
[11:13] <BlueEagle> maddler: does the kernel logger go down and up ok when you sudo /etc/init.d/klogd restart
[11:13] <BlueEagle> ?
[11:13] <davmor2> could someone with some python experience have a look at gmail-notify please?
[11:13] <ubun2> whatever happened to enlightenment
[11:13] <apokryphos> ubun2: taking years still to release 0.17
[11:13] <ubun2> LOL
[11:13] <maddler> BlueEagle: yes... it stopped and started...
[11:13] <Lars_G> ubun2: I know, I ran fluxbox on my old 200Mhz 32Mb ram laptop
[11:14] <apokryphos> ubun2: but still with some nice things
[11:14] <nessmuk> lars_g...are you using the new ubuntu that installs  xfce?
[11:14] <BlueEagle> khaaaaaan: I hope you intend to tell us why you think flux is ewww.
[11:14] <BlueEagle> maddler: Very peculiar.
[11:14] <Lars_G> nessmuk: Not yet, I gave to the dark side and use KDE now.
[11:14] <BlueEagle> maddler: Does anything get written to /var/log/messages?
[11:14] <ubun2> i installed pwm3, ion3, xfce4, icewm and it wasn't that difficult
[11:14] <ubun2> the ubuntu people really got this thing right this time
[11:14] <ubun2> i was using damn small linux before and it was terrible
[11:15] <ubun2> great job :D
[11:15] <Khaaaaaan> BlueEagle: Cause?!?
[11:15] <Travis|H> is the method for installing the opengl nvidia driver the same as it was in Hoary for Breezy
[11:15] <_rb_> hey ive got a usb digital camera, and its set to mass storage device. how do i mount the thing, or perhaps even find it, under ubuntu ??
[11:15] <BlueEagle> khaaaaaan: Very constructive...
[11:15] <davmor2> travis|H yes
[11:15] <JF> when i try to boot from ym live cd it starts the boot and gives me a bunch of lines of code then give me a DR-Dos console and i have no idea what to do. Any suggestions
[11:15] <brenton> can someone tell me where i can find a list of ubuntu repositories? i think some of the ones mentioned on the ubuntuguide no longer work.
[11:16] <maddler> BlueEagle: no way... can't stop having garbage...
[11:16] <Khaaaaaan> BlueEagle: Mwah ha ha ha
[11:16] <Zolty> hello room
[11:16] <Khaaaaaan> The plan is coming together now
[11:16] <juliux> has some body testet the breezy install cd on a ppc?
[11:16] <BlueEagle> khaaaaaan: It worked. You're now being ignored. :)
[11:16] <JF> has anyone here succesfully burnt an ubuntu disc using nero xpress?
[11:16] <bob832> what is the command to print a file from the terminal?
[11:16] <Khaaaaaan> NAw flux is just ugly
[11:17] <Khaaaaaan> is all
[11:17] <nessmuk> juliux....I think you have to go to the ppc sites and look for another irc channel
[11:17] <Zolty> I got a good image to burn for ubuntu using nero express
[11:17] <vbgunz> BlueEagle: I am not crazy. The boot menu item was there and it has been removed and *not* replaced as far as I can tell... Why would Ubuntu do this?
[11:17] <ubun2> Khaaaaaan : if you dont like flux try enlightenment
[11:17] <Khaaaaaan> Agreed
[11:17] <ubun2> Khaaaaaan : or xfce 4
[11:17] <Khaaaaaan> Now we are talking
[11:17] <juliux> nessmuk, do you have a link?
[11:17] <Kyral> Is it normal for Beep to spawn two instances?
[11:17] <Kyral> I mean processes?
[11:17] <nessmuk> nope...sorry
[11:17] <BlueEagle> vbgunz: I really do not know. I've never seen any util for configuring grub tbh.
[11:17] <Khaaaaaan> BlueEagle doesnt see it that way, which is cool cause that is what linux is all aboot
[11:17] <ubun2> Khaaaaaan : fvwm-crystal is REALLY beautiful
[11:17] <cute_bettong> hmm it seems that mozilla firefox won't identify to the website what type of player it has to view the media
[11:18] <cute_bettong> is there a way to make mozilla lie to websites and say that it has oh say media player 10 or something installed
[11:18] <MachineScrew> so when can we expect a new login ?
[11:18] <MachineScrew> login theme that is
[11:18] <davmor2> ubun2 Khaaaaan or you could simply upgrade to 64bit and run what the hell you like at speed
[11:18] <maddler> cute_bettong: I don't think so... not afaik at least...
[11:19] <cute_bettong> ok
[11:19] <nessmuk> how do I change the config to recognize an new video card?
[11:19] <holycow> you know what is a weird sideffect of running a debian like linux distro?
[11:19] <holycow> i now dread the thought of installing windows
[11:19] <holycow> not for moral reasons
[11:19] <cute_bettong> http://www.atomfilms.com/contentPlay/mediapref/mediaPrefForm.jsp?keyword=lord_rhymes&brand=&returnUrl=%2FcontentPlay%2Fvideo.jsp%3Fid%3Dlord_rhymes%26ratingBarExclude%3D0%26preplay%3D1%26brand%3D
[11:19] <vbgunz> BlueEagle: the boot menu item didn't exactly edit GRUB... Instead it was just a GUI for reorganizing and adding/removing startup entries to the GRUB boot menu
[11:19] <cute_bettong> see if any of you can play that file
[11:19] <holycow> but because it is so much goddamned work
[11:19] <Chousuke> holycow: You are no longer able to accept any other OS? :P
[11:19] <MachineScrew> any one know wht my usplash isn't working ?
[11:19] <cafuego_> because it takes about 4 hours?
[11:19] <davmor2> nessmuk what card
[11:20] <holycow> Chousuke, :)
[11:20] <altetz> q
[11:20] <Anak1n> mplayer said could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound what to do?
[11:20] <ubun2> holycow : I don't even think about windows when im on ubuntu
[11:20] <BlueEagle> vbgunz: Then it might have been removed for being completely (well almost) useless. :p
[11:20] <MachineScrew> use totem-xine
[11:20] <MachineScrew> lol
[11:20] <ubun2> holycow : everything just "works"
[11:20] <ubun2> holycow : except sound.. :/
[11:20] <holycow> ubun2, *nod* its is just so werid, i cannot get my self to actually install software, create accounts, polidies, it's unreal.  i never expected this
[11:21] <deflux-> Has anyone gotten vmware workstation 5 to run on breezy?
[11:21] <MachineScrew> I have deflux
[11:21] <holycow> ubun2, *nod* thats an issue sometimes yes.  I always buy mobos with supported chipsets
[11:21] <deflux-> Is there something I'm missing?
[11:21] <nessmuk> davmor2....ATI Technologies Inc 210888GX [Mach 64 GX]  (rev 03) is what lspci says
[11:21] <deflux-> Because it keeps telling me that it's not configured.
[11:21] <vbgunz> BlueEagle: I can do it from the /boot/grub/menu.lst but I liked the interface... + I am just curious as to why it was removed... It wasn't exactly useless :P
[11:21] <deflux-> But the configure part goes through just fine, but the services don't seem to start properly.
[11:21] <MachineScrew> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=65638&highlight=VMware
[11:22] <ubun2> wonder if ubuntu works with xbox
[11:22] <nessmuk> davmor2....I think this would involve editing the config file in vi, which I'm not too good at....would need hand-holding
[11:22] <davmor2> nessmuk: think you install similar to nvidia but with fglx i think but if you check the wiki it should tell you
[11:22] <ubun2> i want to send a computer that doesn't look like a computer to a friend

[11:23] <cafuego_> ubun2: How about a blank cd in a small pizza box?
[11:23] <holycow> nessmuk, use nano, you can learn it by looking at the 12 commands on the bottom of the screen
[11:23] <holycow> you only need to know 3
[11:23] <ubun2> lol @ cafuego

[11:24] <MachineScrew> apkryphos: looks like it trys but then gose back to the console
[11:25] <apokryphos> MachineScrew: is usplash installed; and, secondly, did you reconfigure the respective linux-modules

[11:25] <apokryphos> linux-image

[11:28] <apokryphos> MachineScrew: and..yup, that's it; if you reconfigured it should be fine now
[11:28] <blekos> i have added to start programs but since i do not log in as root
[11:28] <MachineScrew> I don't have a new look for gdn

[11:35] <apokryphos> MachineScrew: dpkg -l|grep usplash  ...gives?
[11:36] <apokryphos> blekos: only if you configure it that way
[11:36] <masterra_> anyone feel like helping me with a sound problem in breezy? In gnome.. the panel shows no sound devices.. but /dev/dsp is working fine.. catting to it i hear sound, and even alunching esd by hand gives sound, but gnome (and gnome apps) still don't think so..

[11:36] <ubotu> rumour has it, ati is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI, or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557&page=1&pp=10&highlight=fglrx
[11:36] <apokryphos> blekos: you can configure sudo to provide a given user with sudo powers only to a particular application
[11:36] <MachineScrew> ii  usplash    0.1-17
[11:37] <cevizoglu> apokryphos, thx
[11:37] <snorks> Anyone with breezy here and working ATI direct rendering?
[11:37] <davmor2> blekos then edit sessions startup with sudo /root/to/firestarter
[11:37] <MachineScrew> apokryphos, ii  usplash   0.1-17
[11:37] <davmor2> nessmuk did that fix your problem?
[11:38] <apokryphos> MachineScrew: you're sure the dpk-reconfigure went ok without errors?
[11:38] <anatole> re
[11:38] <anatole> Lars_G: thank you ^_^
[11:38] <anatole> after i put myself back into admins my sound broke
[11:38] <erUSUL> hello all i have problems setting up pure-ftpd. i think i enabled virtual users right but i get 530 i can not trust you. any hints
[11:38] <erUSUL> ??
[11:38] <anatole> so i had to reinstall the driver from a howto
[11:39] <anatole> its quite strange though o_O
[11:39] <MachineScrew> apokryphos, said that it didn't find a splash image but ya no errors i thoguht the splash was for grub
[11:39] <dalamar> if i run 'mount' /media/usbdisk says 'rw' by it, but when I try and delete something or write to it it says its read only .. what gives?
[11:39] <apokryphos> MachineScrew: though I'm wondering how you have  0.1-17 when the current in the repos is  0.1-10
[11:39] <g|patrick> can someone tell me where i can control how the soundoutput channels?
[11:40] <MachineScrew> apokryphos, i use the horay-backports-staging and horay-extras-staging
[11:40] <snorks> hi
[11:40] <apokryphos> MachineScrew: disable both of those, sudo aptitude remove usplash, then sudo aptitude install usplash
[11:40] <erUSUL> hello all i have problems setting up pure-ftpd. i think i enabled virtual users right but i get 530 i can not trust you. any hints ??
[11:41] <davmor2> dalamar: it might be the file itself that is write protected
[11:42] <dalamar> hm.
[11:42] <snorks> is the ati driver howto different on 5.04 VS breezy?
[11:43] <davmor2> dalamar: did you sudo the mount
[11:43] <dalamar> no i didnt
[11:43] <snorks> ccooke: Did you talk to me about ATI drivers?
[11:43] <matthew5> tar works but won't allow the --exclude flag. It's quite odd. Please take a look at the whole picture at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=70566 if you think you might be able to help
[11:43] <snorks> ccooke: earlier?
[11:43] <snorks> ccooke: I believe you did. Well, I'm on breezy now :) Wanna guide me through?
[11:43] <grogoreo> hi
[11:44] <matthew5> sorry, should introduce with...I have a problem, as outlined above
[11:44] <dalamar> and an attempt at chmodding the file gives me the read only file system error again, strange
