[06:53] <o0splitpaw0o> Judicata: I wanted to stick with my nvidia, but this mainboard I'm using has a conflict with the via and the geofirce chip I had. no bios update work arounds for it either.
[06:53] <adaptr> Sivik: if it's gdesklets - that never works properly for me
[06:53] <ShadowX> how can I use more than 2 Workspaces in gnome?
[06:53] <ShadowX> nm
[06:53] <mnoir> ShadowX: right click and add more
[06:53] <adaptr> Sivik: gdesklets tends to kill my gnome-panel; and I do mean *kill*
[06:53] <RingDonut> ???
[06:53] <crake> quote: "you must be root"
[06:53] <crake> how do i get root
[06:54] <Sivik> adaptr: uh, its looks like a special theme for gnome
[06:54] <adaptr> ShadowX: right-click on the menu of the switcher, and edit preferences
[06:54] <Sivik> crake, use sudo command
[06:54] <ShadowX> crake: sudo
[06:54] <Sivik> crake: or if you want to be "logged in as root" type sudo su
[06:54] <adaptr> Sivik: a system monitor is not part of any "theme" - it's an application
[06:54] <Sivik> adapr: yeah, thats what i said, special theme and earlier i said extra applications
[06:55] <adaptr> Sivik: *which application*
[06:55] <gaygeek> anyone want to share penis pics? :]  -> query pls
[06:55] <Sivik> adapr: hell if i know, i don't use it
[06:55] <gaspipe1> adaptr: hey...awsome...thanks so much
[06:55] <Sivik> gaygeek, we would need a microscope to see yours
[06:55] <gaspipe1> adaptr: works perfect!
[06:55] <ShadowX> I can honestly say, this is the longest I have ever used Linux at one time. all morning long, all night last night. Im proud of myself lol
[06:55] <adaptr> gaspipe1: I knowerst :)
[06:55] <Sivik> ShadowX, good for you
[06:56] <adaptr> Sivik: yet, this is what you said...
[06:56] <kiamo> hehe nice one ShadowX, another few years and we will know what we are doing ;)
[06:56] <Sivik> adaprt: i said that is gnome, but i don't use it and you have to install those things manuelly
[06:56] <ShadowX> lol har har kiamo
[06:56] <Sivik> adaptr: i said that is gnome, but i don't use it and you have to install those things manuelly
[06:56] <adaptr> Sivik: yes, in response to the OPs question about the system monitors shown
[06:56] <zoli2k> rhythmbox eats 2x-3x more cpu durring mp3 decoding as xmms with libmpg123. It is possible change the gstreamer codec in rhythmbox?
[06:57] <gaspipe1> adaptr: i'll be on later try'n to update from synaptic package mngr
[06:57] <del4> rythmbox is bad.
[06:57] <kiamo> how can I uninstall something iv make installed?
[06:57] <del4> i dont like it.
[06:57] <adaptr> gaspipe1: "trying" ? it
[06:57] <gaspipe1> adaptr thanks again.... c u later
[06:57] <adaptr> 's's so easy even your granny can do it
[06:57] <Sivik> adaptr: i really wouldn't care if i was explaining to the presendent, i would have said the same thing
[06:57] <ShadowX> dang, this thing isnt as hard as it seems :P
[06:57] <adaptr> Sivik: noted
[06:58] <NeoGeo64> does soundblaster xfi work in ubuntu
[06:58] <gaspipe1> adaptr: i don't know what is good to install....
[06:58] <Sivik> adaptr: so whats the problem
[06:58] <ShadowX> I just have to totally erase every ounce of computing knowledge I have related to Winblows
[06:58] <adaptr> Sivik: I asked what the program was that draws that system monitor, that's all
[06:58] <Sivik> NeoGeo64, yes, creative have linux drivers for thier software
[06:58] <brandonbl79> !fstab

[06:58] <gaspipe1> adaptr:  try to have my printer/scanner to work, mp3's
[06:58] <zoli2k> del4, I used xmms for 5 years, I recently changed to rhythmbox, but this cpu problem is frustrating me.
[06:58] <|Jason8|> I really like winamp for music stuff, is there a program for ubuntu that acts like winamp?  Rhythmbox is sort of lame.
[06:58] <Sivik> adaptr: and i said i have no clue, i have never used it

[06:59] <LonerVamp> |Jason8|: I think XMMS is most like winamp.
[06:59] <Sivik> adaptr: well, you seemed mad
[06:59] <zoli2k> Jason8, xmms
[06:59] <|Jason8|> XMMS?  okay.
[06:59] <adaptr> !caps | brandonbl79
[06:59] <ubotu> brandonbl79: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[06:59] <gaspipe1> adaptr: i was afraid of that... i have a brothers mfc 5100c and didn't see any on the list
[06:59] <|Jason8|> is there a package for it?
[06:59] <LonerVamp> Should be, yeah
[06:59] <NeoGeo64> |Jason8|, sudo apt-get install xmms
[06:59] <brandonbl79> ok
[06:59] <adaptr> Sivik: not at all, I thought I read that you knew what the program was
[06:59] <jatt> is there any utility to convert a .png image to .svg format?
[06:59] <NeoGeo64> |Jason8|, MIGHT wanna install it from Synaptic though, might be some deps you need.
[06:59] <Sivik> adaptr: unfortently not, sorry if i seemed rude
[06:59] <adaptr> jatt: several
[07:00] <adaptr> Sivik: np
[07:00] <brandonbl79> want to unmount all my drives and start over.   What is the best document to help me with this.
[07:00] <Sivik> adaptr: i just had way too many questions at one
[07:00] <jatt> adaptr: could you mention one?
[07:00] <adaptr> Sivik: you need a secretary :)
[07:00] <Sivik> adaptr: yes
[07:00] <oFF-beAt> why the heck is synaptic trying to update ATI drivers?? i got nvidia
[07:00] <gaspipe1> Judicata: what chat program are u using?
[07:01] <brandonbl79> !mountpartitions
[07:01] <Sivik> oFF-beAt, cause ati is stupid

[07:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about unmount - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:01] <zoli2k> gaspipe1, gaim
[07:01] <Sivik> brandonbl79, its umount, not unmount

[07:01] <brandonbl79> !umount
[07:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about umount - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:01] <oFF-beAt> it's not ati.. it's synaptic bein stupid
[07:01] <daddydoc> how do I change the group to root,,,, I have already changed owner to root with chown???
[07:01] <gaspipe1> zoli2k: so am i... i tried im or pm some people and they never got it
[07:02] <brandonbl79> sivik what it the most helpful documentation i can find about mounting and unmounting drives
[07:02] <daddydoc> for a directory?
[07:02] <Sivik> brandonbl79, the man for mount
[07:02] <gaspipe1> zoli2k: i was just wondering what the pro's here are using
[07:02] <brandonbl79> where do i get that?
[07:02] <jatt> adaptr: you claim there are several .png->.svg converters for ubuntu. Could you please mention one? I've only found a gimp plugin which reads .svg files only.
[07:02] <gaspipe1> adaptr: what chat program are u using?
[07:02] <Sivik> brandonbl79, man mount
[07:02] <kiamo> when I apt-get update i get the folllowing error: W: GPG error: http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com edgy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783
[07:02] <brandonbl79> man mount
[07:02] <Sivik> gaspipe1, i use xchat
[07:02] <ctothej> I need some with mounting. I had fstab mounting 2 ntfs drives with ntfs-3g, but after i plugged in a usb flash drive and restarted, the drives changed from being on /dev/sdd to /dev/sde ! how can i make it so that they dont change? or that it mounts the particular volumes all the time no matter what else is plugged in?
[07:03] <daddydoc> how do I change the group to root,,,, I have already changed owner to root with chown???
[07:03] <gaspipe1> siv is it any good? have you tried others
[07:03] <daddydoc> for a directory?
[07:03] <AlexC_> kiamo: you need to install a key for that respority
[07:03] <zoli2k> gaspipe1, I never experienced any serious problemm with gaim
[07:03] <gaspipe1> Sivik: srry... any good.... have u tried others
[07:03] <adaptr> gaspipe1: Konversation
[07:03] <Sivik> gaspipe1, there are many
[07:03] <kiamo> AlexC_, how do i find the key and how do I find out how to install the key ;)
[07:04] <maxsoft> hi all. I've 'suspend' and not dont start. can you help me please? thank you.
[07:04] <AlexC_> kiamo: where did you get the extra respority from?
[07:04] <gaspipe1> adaptr: it's the best in u own oppin.
[07:04] <daddydoc> how do I change the group to root,,,, I have already changed owner to root with chown???
[07:04] <daddydoc> for a directory?
[07:04] <kiamo> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPlayer/CVS
[07:04] <zoli2k> gaspipe1, I using gaim for ICQ, IRC and MSN for 2 years and all my messages were sent ;)
[07:04] <adaptr> jatt: I must have been confusing it.. there are several things that convert to png and from svg, but not one to the other directly, apparently.. if you can convert png to postscript then PS to svg should be easy...
[07:04] <gaspipe1> zoli2k: I SENT U A IM....DID U SEE IT?
[07:04] <ctothej> daddydoc: chgrp maybe
[07:04] <AlexC_> daddydoc: wait for me than 1 minute before asking again
[07:04] <adaptr> gaspipe1: huh ?
[07:04] <zoli2k> gaspipe1, nope
[07:04] <gaspipe1> srry caps
[07:05] <daddydoc> how do I turn off the joining/quiting channel thing in xchat?
[07:05] <gaspipe1> adaptr: do u recommend Konversation?
[07:05] <nixen9> hi everyone, got a sound related problem, my card is working, the module is loaded but the volume is way too low (checked alsamixer and everything - still too low) any idea (something like a boost option in my .asoundrc) (i'm using a cs46xx card) ?
[07:06] <Aggort> Hey, I want to update from Dapper to Edgy, I've read a few guides, but they just gave some standard pre-cautions and other minor details. I have everythign backed up already, so is there anything else I should really know before attempting to upgrade? Like is it safe to upgrade?
[07:06] <h3xis> daddydoc, erm...that's kind of part of IRC. you can't really turn it off i dont think
[07:06] <maxsoft> help help!
[07:06] <adaptr> gaspipe1: well, I'v been using it for quite some time now, and it has several strong pros, such as easy highlighting, good browser integration, and full keyboard control (you don't need the mouse)
[07:06] <AlexC_> kiamo: .. you didn't add the respotity  http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com edgy from that page
[07:07] <jojoman02> Question: how do i get the new black macbook wifi working?
[07:07] <gaspipe1> adaptr: i'll give it a try
[07:07] <zoli2k> Aggort, I updated Hoary -> dapper -> edgy -> feisty without problem
[07:07] <adaptr> gaspipe1: but there are some things missing that make irssi or bitchx (the pro default choices) superior in the long run.. except that both of those are text-based
[07:07] <daddydoc> it is an option in mirc for windows
[07:07] <AlexC_> kiamo: no where on that page even mentions  http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com edgy
[07:07] <kiamo> AlexC_, how did you find it?
[07:07] <gaspipe1> zoli2k: i saw u'r im... but u can't see mine huh....wierd
[07:07] <daddydoc> to turn off enter/quiting messages
[07:07] <adaptr> gaspipe1: konversation is relatively easy to use, and works very dependably
[07:07] <AlexC_> kiamo: I didn't find it, you did.
[07:07] <AlexC_> kiamo: where did you find  http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com edgy ?
[07:07] <gaspipe1> adaptr: sounds good to me
[07:07] <ardchoille42> gaspipe1, Yes, ther eis a way to ignore joins/quits in xchat, but I forget the command. Try #xchat maybe?
[07:07] <kiamo> AlexC_, haha no i mean that repository
[07:07] <Aggort> zoli2k - I was just nervous because I read some pretty wicked things. Someone told me I;d lose my software, but I don;t beleive that, but thanks!
[07:07] <kiamo> i think i searched for help on installing mplayer or something
[07:08] <AlexC_> kiamo: yeah, I didn't find the respority  http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com edgy - you did
[07:08] <adaptr> h3xis: nonsense - you can disable showing any join/part/channel messages - as you say, it is part of IRC :)
[07:08] <zoli2k> gaspipe1, my gaim is 2.0.0beta5
[07:08] <gaspipe1> #xchat
[07:08] <xavier21700> join #ubuntu-fr
[07:08] <AlexC_> kiamo: link me to the page where you saw to add  http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com edgy as another respority
[07:08] <kolla_> from "deb http://imbrandon.com/packages dapper konversation-nightly"
[07:08] <ardchoille42> gaspipe1, /join #xchat
[07:08] <h3xis> adaptr, ah, wasnt aware then XD of course it would be retarded to do so
[07:08] <gaspipe1> ardchoille42: that didn't work
[07:08] <zoli2k> Aggort, do you have your home directory on separate partition?
[07:08] <kiamo> oh, wait...
[07:08] <ardchoille42> gaspipe1, /join #xchat didn't work?
[07:08] <kiamo> huh..
[07:08] <mnoir> daddydoc: been asked before - i don't remember an answer given.  This is one reason I use konversation
[07:08] <kiamo> i dont know anymore
[07:08] <adaptr> h3xis: most X clients offer an easy menu command to set this for you - jst convenience
[07:08] <Aggort> zolik2k   yea
[07:09] <kiamo> i guess it was one of the repostories from another tut...
[07:09] <maxsoft> I've turn off with "suspend" and not dont start... can you help me please?
[07:09] <kiamo> probably for debootstrap (which i never got to work)
[07:09] <ShadowX> hmm, I was just about to ask about an iPod manager, but Rythmbox decided to answer the question itself lol
[07:09] <h3xis> adaptr, not that i want to but how do you do it in xchat then?
[07:09] <IBMg41> hey...kinda an edgy noob here.....does anyone know how to keep the wireless card alive when the laptop lid is closed?
[07:09] <christopherl> Is it possible to unmount the current filesystem? Im trying to do that but the device is busy. I don't know what things it busy with, how can I find out?
[07:09] <AlexC_> kiamo: here, I found this for you: wget -q http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/medibuntu-key.gpg
[07:09] <adaptr> h3xis: what I like about konversation is that it doesn't totally hide channel messages - it redirects them to a "server" window that holds all system output
[07:09] <daddydoc> ok I am trying to move files from 1 hd to another.  I have chown to reflect root, but the group remains 1000.   I am trying copy or  ctrl- but I cant paste it in the new directory. Anysuggestions?
[07:09] <riotkittie> try looking in Xchat options :P
[07:09] <h3xis> riotkittie, i have.
[07:09] <AlexC_> kiamo: use that command in terminal, then sudo apt-key add *.gpg
[07:10] <Aggort> So I'm good to go then?
[07:10] <|Jason8|> Best Help Channel Ever1
[07:11] <kiamo> YAY it works
[07:11] <kiamo> thanks AlexC_
[07:11] <ShadowX> ok, got a situation here, and the perfect learning moment
[07:11] <kiamo> how did you find the key?
[07:11] <zoli2k> Aggort, so the worst thing what can happen that if anything falls, you need only reinstall your linux from CD ( but I never did this with ubuntu)
[07:11] <AlexC_> kiamo: youre welcome
[07:11] <adaptr> h3xis: CHANOPT to set options for separate channels
[07:11] <AlexC_> kiamo: I simply went to http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com
[07:11] <Smirnov> i edited my fstab file but two of the smb folders didnt get mounted until i ran sudo mount -a ?
[07:11] <h3xis> adaptr, i see
[07:11] <ShadowX> XMMS hung up and wont close or respond. what is the best and safest way for me to stop its process?
[07:11] <mnoir> daddydoc: 1.  why did you change the owner - is root supposed to own them? 2.  exactly what command are you using?
[07:11] <Judicata> gaspipe1: you asked me a long time ago, but I'm using irssi right now (sometimes I use EPIC - based on ircII) - I just have trouble liking the gui clients.
[07:11] <kiamo> AlexC_,  i see, haha, i should have thought of that ..
[07:11] <AlexC_> ShadowX: in terminal, "killall xmms"
[07:11] <h3xis> ShadowX, sudo killall xmms
[07:11] <AlexC_> kiamo: hehe
[07:12] <Aggort> zoli2k thanks, I thought so! Just you read things and you start to wonder. Especially since I had a bad experience with an other distro about 2 years ago
[07:12] <Aggort> Well I am off to update

[07:12] <Dreamglider> do i need a special edition of ubuntu to run on my laptop with centrino duo ??
[07:12] <daddydoc> my raid disks were screwed up.  It changed the root owner to 1000.  I want to access the files to move them to a good had
[07:12] <h3xis> zoli2k, i know, i just realized that :P

[07:13] <AlexC_> ShadowX: yeah you don't end up clicking "End Task" 100 times, then waiting 5 mins for it to close
[07:13] <daddydoc> i used sudo chown -R root /directory
[07:13] <TtyS2> if i add 1gb of ram to my ubuntu pc, will i need to adjust any thing manually, or will ubuntu handle every thing for me?
[07:13] <daddydoc> it changed the ownership to root
[07:13] <h3xis> ShadowX, why, would you be using a mac otherwise :P
[07:13] <AlexC_> TtyS2: everythign will be automatic
[07:13] <daddydoc> but left group at 1000
[07:13] <TtyS2> thanks AlexC_
[07:13] <ShadowX> I never used "End Task" I always went straight to the Process table and Ended it that way, which STILL wasnt 100% successful

[07:13] <daddydoc> all I want is to move files, but the copy doesnt work in the graphical interface
[07:14] <adaptr> gaspipe1: you "dl'ed" ?
[07:14] <ardchoille42> daddydoc, If you want to change the group also, do: chown user:group  (where user is the username and group is the name of the group)

[07:14] <kiamo> "sudo debootstrap --variant=buildd --arch i386 breezy /var/chroot/ http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" with this command should i change breezy to edgy because i installed an edgy debootstrap?

[07:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ident - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:14] <daddydoc> i will try that
[07:14] <zoli2k> klm, there must be a firefox-bin process
[07:14] <AlexC_> klm-: press alt+f2 then type "killall firefox"
[07:15] <riotkittie> klm-:  kill firefox-bin  or ps ax | grep firefox ... and then kill <PID>
[07:15] <zoli2k> klm-: killall firefox-bin
[07:15] <linux_user400354> when i get to the gdm login screen after installing the nvidia driver, i cant see the whole screen at once. if i move my mouse to one of the edges, then the screen will move in that direction. if i move my mouse to the top for example, the screen will scroll up and then i cant see the options button at the bottom anymore. does anyone else have that problem? it is similar to playing a game when the game when the resolution does not
[07:15] <linux_user400354> return to normal after exiting the game. it looks like i am zoomed in and can't see everything at once.
[07:15] <AlexC_> ahh, firefox-bin :P
[07:15] <Dreamglider> do i need a special edition of ubuntu to run on my laptop with centrino duo ??
[07:15] <daddydoc> like this..... sudo chown -R user:user /directory ?
[07:15] <AlexC_> no
[07:15] <riotkittie> Dreamglider: no
[07:15] <h3xis> Dreamglider, no.
[07:15] <ardchoille42> daddydoc, no
[07:15] <klm-> thanks all, especially zoli2k because yours worked :)
[07:15] <Smirnov> why isnt my smb folders getting mounted automatically!!! i put them into fstab
[07:15] <AlexC_> a lot of no's :P
[07:15] <ardchoille42> sudo chown -R user:group /directory
[07:16] <psykidellic> hello all
[07:16] <riotkittie> Smirnov: did you reboot after editting them to fstab?
[07:16] <gmoore> hello. i'm installing ubuntu on a toshiba laptop which already has windows installed. i resized the windows partition and made a 10gb partition for ubuntu, and i'm now installing it from the livecd (edgy eft). how do i make sure i don't nuke my windows install when using gparted?
[07:16] <adaptr> Dreamglider: I assume you mean "Core Duo" - in that case, maybe
[07:16] <Smirnov> riotkittie: yep
[07:16] <h3xis> gmoore, dont touch it
[07:16] <Smirnov> riotkittie: i rebooted and it didnt mount anything... i had to do mount -a
[07:16] <Dreamglider> adaptr ok what version need i
[07:16] <adaptr> gmoore: don't delete your windows partition :)
[07:16] <riotkittie> Smirnov: uhm, does the fstab line include auto ?
[07:16] <AlexC_> gmoore: the installer should partition for you, no need to use gparted
[07:16] <Jazon> hi everyone
[07:16] <AlexC_> hi
[07:16] <Judicata> gmoore: don't tell it to format it, and don't delete the partition, and you'll be fine.
[07:16] <riotkittie> Smirnov: no wait .forget auto
[07:16] <daddydoc> ?
[07:16] <selahone> adaptr that's just not nice. lol
[07:16] <ShadowX> ok, heres another thing. its not strictly ubuntu, but it is a good question. I always see screenshots of Linux desktops where there's a command terminal that "appears" to be "attached" to the desktop itself. its all nice and pretty and blends great, but its always there. how can I get that on mine?
[07:17] <adaptr> Dreamglider: the Ubuntu version doesn't matter much, but depending on which Core CPU you have you may need a different kernel to "see" both cores
[07:17] <kingace> hello
[07:17] <iturk> hi there! is there any free program for acounting in linux ??
[07:17] <Dreamglider> i have ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso wich stops to respond when i try to install it
[07:17] <riotkittie> ShadowX: attached how. like transparent?
[07:17] <h3xis> ShadowX, i think that's eterm. you can specify the transparency of it and whether or not to show the border/menu
[07:17] <kingace> what in menu.lst should I change if my ubuntu partition has been switched from /dev/sda2 to /dev/sda3 and its new root is (hd0,2)
[07:17] <kitche> ShadowX: use screen and a terminal thaty can go transparent
[07:17] <kingace> ?
[07:17] <adaptr> Dreamglider: yerps... bummer; try booting it with some extra boot parameters, like "noapic nolapic"
[07:17] <Judicata> ShadowX: are you talking about the one that drops down from the top? or transparent, or both?

[07:18] <voicu> how do i find ouy the free space on a partition from command line?
[07:18] <joseph_> good morning everyone
[07:18] <Jazon> i upgraded my desktop to edgy.  I forgot that kernel 2.6.16+ wont load the usb wifi devices anymore.  I added a line to load the configuration into /etc/udev/init.d/99-commonrules like the howto said, but still no go.  anyone else do this?
[07:18] <adaptr> voicu: df -h
[07:18] <zoli2k> voicu, df -h
[07:18] <riotkittie> !tilda | adaptr
[07:18] <adaptr> me first !
[07:18] <ubotu> tilda: Linux terminal which behaves like terminals in shooter games. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.09.3-0ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 32 kB, installed size 148 kB
[07:18] <ShadowX> Im not really sure. Ive just seen it and it looks really good. by "attached", yes its transparent without borders and menus. but theres also no trace of it in the taskbar. its as if its "built in" to the desktop itself
[07:18] <Jazon> also, i am wondering if anyone has installed bouml on ubuntu edgy?
[07:18] <daddydoc> like this..... sudo chown -R root:root /directory  ?
[07:18] <riotkittie> Smirnov: i am clueless, sorry
[07:18] <adaptr> riotkittie: oh.. aha, I have yakuake :)
[07:18] <joseph_> i'm just curious, does anyone know if the lexmark z600 driver will be provided in feisty?
[07:18] <voicu> thanks adaptr and zoli2k
[07:18] <riotkittie> adaptr: ah :)
[07:19] <kitche> ShadowX: it might be conky also
[07:19] <brandonbl79> gksudo gedit /etc/fstab  how come when i type this, nothing comes up

[07:19] <riotkittie> ShadowX: try yakuake or tilda ... or eterm with alltray
[07:19] <NkZ> I've seen some people who have some kind of... custom panel of applications on the Desktop (Animated panel) where could I get that?
[07:19] <adaptr> ShadowX: conky, torsmo, there are more...
[07:19] <riotkittie> althougt tilda or yakuake or kuake are likely easier
[07:19] <ShadowX> ok, so what would you all recommend would be the best?
[07:20] <AndrewB> adaptr: torsmo is obsolete i think
[07:20] <adaptr> I've bound yakuake to S-~ as a global shortcut :)
[07:20] <brandonbl79> i have my two harddrives mounted, but are not accessible, can anyone help?
[07:20] <psykidellic> i am installing ubuntu on an old hardware which has 3com vortex NIC for which 3c59x module needs to be installed....i have tried but failed to get my NIC recognised for last 2 days....doing a google shows that the 3c59x module is broken in latest Linux kernels so I have to load it manually.....first time doing "modprobe -v 3c59x" listed two options......when i do "insmod 3c59x", it says "no such file or directory", but when i do "in
[07:20] <psykidellic> smod <with complete pathname of 3c59x.ko>" it gives me error that -1 file exists........any idea what should i do?
[07:20] <adaptr> AndrewB: erm.. that's conky now, then
[07:20] <riotkittie> ShadowX: best is such a relative term. depends on what kind of functionality youre looking for
[07:20] <AndrewB> adaptr: yup iirc
[07:21] <AndrewB> Conky is great!
[07:21] <daddydoc> like this..... sudo chown -R root:root /directory  ?
[07:21] <ShadowX> what Im looking for: visually pleasing, stable, and WONT do like most Window's crap and GET IN MY WAY!!! argh
[07:21] <Judicata> NkZ: You can also do a bunch with the regular panels (right click - properties) You can make them wider, but them on the left or right, make them transparent, etc. And if you drag and drop some launchers on them, it can be handy.
[07:21] <adaptr> well.... it alwasy screws up my desktop
[07:21] <anti_system32> no se como meter la zona de espaol por que al principio no sale
[07:21] <Azul> can i upgrade from dapper to edgy?
[07:21] <adaptr> !es | anti_system32
[07:21] <ubotu> anti_system32: Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendrn mas ayuda.
[07:21] <anti_system32> en redes
[07:21] <AndrewB> adaptr: such as what happens? Maybe the refresh rate?
[07:21] <funky1> hey ppl i got a quick question, trying to write an image file back to my usb stick which is on /dev/sda1 so i use "cat backup.img > /dev/sda1 and i just get a permission denied, same as sudo..
[07:21] <funky1> any suggestions?
[07:21] <zoli2k> Azul, of course you can
[07:21] <ardchoille42> daddydoc, Yes, you are specifying "root:root" as root-user:root-group /dircetory
[07:21] <NkZ> Judicata: It's not that what I mean, could I show you an example of what I mean?
[07:22] <pmc_asad> hello all, I am having a problem booting dapper. The kernel panics and says that I don't have an IO timer connected to APIC. I tried booting noapic, but then it tells me it that it can't mount root file system
[07:22] <Azul> zoli2k, how?
[07:22] <daddydoc> thanks, i will try
[07:22] <riotkittie> ShadowX: if youre using gnome, sudo apt-get install tilda  ... you can customize it, and as for it not getting in your way, its easily hidden and revived with an fkey
[07:22] <adaptr> AndrewB: that, or nautilus - I'm looking into it, but I would really like to get gdesklets working properly (as in not crashing my gnome-panel :)
[07:22] <Judicata> NkZ: sure, paste a link.
[07:22] <Azul> zoli2k, is there one upgrade cd that i have to download and install?
[07:22] <shutterbc> funky1 -- are you mounting the usb stick first?
[07:22] <riotkittie> and you can set it not to show in the task bar
[07:22] <brandonbl79> how do i edit fstab
[07:22] <funky1> nope
[07:22] <Azul> or use the repositories?
[07:22] <funky1> should i?
[07:22] <ardchoille42> daddydoc, but yes, you have "root:root" and that is correct for root user:root group
[07:22] <Azul> braindead_moron, sudo nano /etc/fstab
[07:22] <NkZ> Judicata: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD7QraljRfM Watch out the upper panel.
[07:22] <zoli2k> Azul, change every "dapper" word in /etc/apt/sources.list to "edgy". the do: sudo apt-get update  AND sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:22] <adaptr> !upgrade | Azul
[07:22] <jumbers> brandonbl79: nano /etc/fstab
[07:22] <ubotu> Azul: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:22] <AndrewB> adaptr: gDesklets is also ok. I can't remember why I stopped. Maybe it was heavy or something? heh
[07:22] <gnomefreak> Azul: you can use the alternate cd to upgrade
[07:23] <shutterbc> funky1: Well, if you're trying to dd something straight to the device, then no.  But if you're trying to copy / write a file to the USB stick, then yes.
[07:23] <Dreamglider> what version of ubuntu should i download for use on a centrino duo CPU ?
[07:23] <riotkittie> when i'm in X, i tend to run two instances of tilda. one for necessary CLI things, and then  i run irssi and a few other things in the 2nd, sometimes with screen
[07:23] <brandonbl79> jumbers this is where i go to edit my ntfs to be readable by ubuntu?
[07:23] <Azul> thanks for the information
[07:23] <riotkittie> mmm screen.
[07:23] <brandonbl79> using the mask in the user guide?
[07:23] <brandonbl79> ro,auto,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 ?
[07:24] <taosaur> wireless help needed:  I'm following instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/LinksysWPC54GS-UK to get my card working.  My card is not the UK version, but does have the exact chipset (4318) mentioned in the article.
[07:24] <Azul> zoli2k, should i get edgy, or the new 7 release?
[07:24] <funky1> sgutterbc: well i'm using cat backup.img > /dev/sda1
[07:24] <shutterbc> funky1: Check in /media to see if the device was automounted (it should have been)
[07:24] <Judicata> NkZ: that's beryl.
[07:24] <jumbers> brandonbl79: You need something like libntfs8
[07:24] <funky1> nope it's not
[07:24] <funky1> i checked it b4
[07:24] <funky1> but actually i tried the command with mounted stick and without
[07:24] <funky1> the result is the same
[07:24] <funky1> no permission
[07:24] <shutterbc> funky1: What filesystem is on it?
[07:25] <brandonbl79> what is that? i'm trying to unmount everything and start from scratch, or edit what i've mounted to make it accessible
[07:25] <NkZ> Judicata: I do have Beryl Installed (Updated) But I do not know nor have I found how to implement that "upper" panel.
[07:25] <brandonbl79> which would be easier
[07:25] <eccolo> ciao
[07:25] <zoli2k> Azul, if you use your linux as a production environment you should update to the edgy. feisty is the development version and may broke your system
[07:25] <funky1> well the backup.img is a fat32 image, the OS is ext3
[07:25] <eccolo> ciao a tutti

[07:25] <Agaliarept> Hey guys I have somewhat of a simple question.. I have installed mysql on my ubuntu 6.06 server machine and I am wondering how I connect to it and create a new database named amxx.
[07:25] <Judicata> NkZ: part of the panel is just something they pasted to the wallpaper, and then used a regular panel. I'm not sure how to implement the icons animations, though. Have you just tinkered with the beryl manager?
[07:25] <Azul> zoli2k, ubuntu develops so fast, it's bugging
[07:26] <shutterbc> funky1: Ah, okay.  Actually sounds like you want to directly write the image to the device.  I haven't tried this with a USB device, but I would think you can use 'dd' for that.
[07:26] <sontek> Is there a way to tell the ubuntu install cd to use 16 bit color instead of 24?  I tried using "Safe graphics mode" but that didn't work
[07:26] <NkZ> Judicata: A lot. And I've not been able to tag it. :-(
[07:26] <Sivik> sontek, just use the text install
[07:26] <foutrelis> Agaliarept: do you have apache installed?
[07:26] <foutrelis> and php :)
[07:26] <shutterbc> funky1: In order to have permission for USB devices, you need to be part of the 'plugdev' group
[07:26] <taosaur> Is that message indicating why my wireless isn't working, or should I just scrap this approach and try to figure out a ndiswrapper?
[07:26] <ctothej> how can i make an smb share full access for my user account? i mount it with fstab...
[07:26] <Agaliarept> foutreslis, No, I don't plan to use it with a website...
[07:26] <funky1> shutterbc: well i put a sudo in front so i guess that should not be the problem or am i mistaken?
[07:27] <eccolo> ci siete
[07:27] <shutterbc> sontek: Did you edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to set default depth to 24?
[07:27] <tom1469> agalierept: what for then?
[07:27] <shutterbc> oh wait... nevermind... the livecd :)
[07:27] <foutrelis> Agaliarept: oh. I was going to suggest phpmyadmin that's why I asked.
[07:27] <AlexC_> Agaliarept: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[07:27] <funky1> shutterbc: anyhow thx i will try with dd
[07:27] <kiamo> when i try to play dvds in vlc it gives me a "segmentation fault" and then closes, does this mean anything to anyone?

[07:28] <tom1469> no...

[07:32] <ircusr> yea
[07:32] <AlexC_> stuart_: you convert the rpm package to deb with alien

[07:32] <stuart_> i just replace it with alien? same effect?

[07:35] <gnufied> zoli2k, still the same error, I used: sudo usermod -a -G fuse gnufied
[07:35] <zoli2k> taosaur, you need the windows driver, install ndiswrapper and a hope that it will work
[07:35] <kitche> ShadowX: I found a good page for doing what you want
[07:35] <zoli2k> gnufied, did you log out and in?
[07:35] <ShadowX> please share with me kitche
[07:35] <kiamo> how do i switch to "advanced mode" in the add/remove applications thingy
[07:36] <kiamo> ?
[07:36] <gnufied> zoli2k, nope
[07:36] <hanasaki> would someone help out with myemail?>  could you paste "dig hanaden.com mx" in #flood ?
[07:36] <taosaur> zoli2k, will ndiswrapper also extract the windows files properly from the install cd?  The only instructions I found on this were not written in n00bish
[07:36] <stuart_> AlexC, after i did that it gives me warning ""skipping conversions of scripts in package"
[07:37] <ShadowX> kitche, whats the page?
[07:37] <taosaur> Also, do I need to somehow "undo" my attempts to install firmware before I do ndis?
[07:37] <stuart_> Can i ignore that?
[07:37] <AlexC_> stuart_: then add --scripts to the end, so "alien --scripts file.rpm"
[07:37] <gmoore> i'm going through the installer now and it's asking me what 4 mount points i want. i set the first one to "/" and Parition 1 Disc 1 and checked format, the second one to '/swap' and picked the 512mb of swap space i made, the third one as '/windows' and picked my windows drive and unchecked format, and left the fourth one blank.
[07:37] <stuart_> ok thanks

[07:45] <stuart_> AlexC, after i've done all that and installed the package, should it be automatically detected?

[07:47] <Nutubuntu> Hardware question: I'm thinking of buying a "new" (secondhand) box built around an Athlon X2 3800+ and an ATI x300 PCIe video card. I've heard and experienced Bad Things with ATI and I don't know anything about the dual-core CPUs. Would this configuration be a headache for Edgy, or okay (or better)?
[07:47] <AlexC_> stuart_: then it should be installed fine,
[07:47] <AlexC_> Nutubuntu: should be fine
[07:47] <spinelli> I am trying to setup mutt, getmail, and postfix. Should getmail deliver mail to my mail spool or my maildir? How do I create a mail spool and maildir?

[07:50] <andcor> Asl[a] n: Why did you ask me ?
[07:50] <therapy> andcor :  sorry, you're right... i though foutrelis was still talking about his radeon ati card...
[07:50] <Asl[a] n> yep, looking it up already. but am not too familiar with BIND/DNS and domain-related stuff in linux. so dont know how to go about it :)
[07:50] <AlexC_> gecko: aMSN ? I personaly don't like it but you might
[07:50] <andcor> therapy: ok
[07:50] <foutrelis> therapy: what?
[07:50] <gecko> hey riotkittie! well the only thing i dont like about gaim is that i cant control it like kopete.  I told it to turn off...but that didnt do it.
[07:51] <shutterbc> Asl[a] n, have you taken a look at OpenLDAP yet?
[07:51] <Asl[a] n> why I asked you? cause you're the only one who seems to be responsive at the moment. i know- all questions and no answers eh? I'd like to help out too. but most questions round here goes right above my head :P

[07:52] <gecko> so does any1 know how to update to the newest gaim? im on beta 3 and they have beta 6 now...
[07:53] <andcor> gecko: can't you just compile it yourself
[07:53] <gecko> can i do it, like off the internet? instead of dling an rpm and etc.
[07:53] <shutterbc> Imrahil, I'm having problems with flash too, actually -- are you trying to download the flash 9 plugin?
[07:53] <gecko> andcor: not experienced enough in linux yet to even know what u mean by that
[07:53] <shutterbc> (it was released a couple days ago)
[07:53] <andcor> gecko: ok
[07:53] <riotkittie> compile = build it. :P
[07:53] <andcor> gecko: what you do is that you get their source package
[07:53] <andcor> unpack it
[07:54] <riotkittie> and then you ... sudo apt-get install build-essential
[07:54] <gecko> andcor: oh..i know how to do that
[07:54] <shutterbc> gecko: actually the gaim web site has a decent tutorial on how to compile... lemme see if I can find it
[07:54] <gecko> ive never heard the build-essential part
[07:54] <Imrahil> yeah the flash plugin beta from backports

[07:54] <gecko> andcor: ill figure it out.. i gotta learn sometime....

[07:54] <peresko> And another thing (i'm sorry, i have looked but i'm missing something..), where can i import and export beryl settings? Before it was the very first thing u see when u open beryl settings manager.
[07:55] <ShadowX> virus-free, I mean
[07:55] <riotkittie> the build-essential pkg provides you with things like make, which arent included in ubuntu by default
[07:55] <foutrelis> method|: try ifdown wlan0
[07:55] <method|> peresko: /join #beryl
[07:55] <gecko> oh..gotcha
[07:55] <method|> thanks
[07:55] <foutrelis> np
[07:55] <method|> ifup wlan0 does the opposite i assume?
[07:55] <foutrelis> yes
[07:55] <method|> cool
[07:55] <andcor> gecko: ok, shutterbc talks 'bout an good howto on the gaim page
[07:55] <gecko> andcor: im headed that way now :)

[08:03] <ardchoille42> shutterbc, You can run "history" (without quotes) in a terminal to see the previous commands you ran
[08:04] <andcor> Zyb: so your not updating from the internet ?
[08:04] <lskd-255> I have an item:  when I click, say a menu item in an application,  or even when surfing, clicking on a link that would open the window to download a file from that link location,  The window remains behind the main application window and when after having clicked on a portion of the original window as if to gain focus, the window in question come to the top or front.....  is there a remedy?
[08:04] <shutterbc> nah, I'm looking to see the history of packages installed over the lifetime of the machine
[08:04] <shutterbc> thanks though
[08:04] <gop> so any one here used ppc version of ubuntu
[08:04] <andcor> shutterbc: your welcome
[08:04] <Zyb> andcor: no, dont know how to set up vpn-connection in ubuntu
[08:04] <variant> gop: yup
[08:04] <gop> how it is compared to yellowdog
[08:04] <gop> is stable
[08:04] <gop> can it run samba
[08:04] <turbolover> hey guys
[08:04] <brandonbl79> how do i check what is mounted?
[08:04] <variant> gop: never tried yellow dog.. it's just as stable as x86 ubuntu though
[08:05] <AndrewB> gop: what you wanting to know?
[08:05] <tonyyarusso> shutterbc: I've been looking for a good way to do that do.  Best I've found is listing the status of all packages, including dependencies of installations.  'dpkg --get-selections'
[08:05] <turbolover> has anyone managed to successfully use a usb midi controller like an oxygen8?
[08:05] <gop> how does ubuntu for ppc compare to yellow dog
[08:05] <turbolover> on ubuntu that is
[08:05] <turbolover> im trying to find a driver for it
[08:05] <AndrewB> gop: I think it is better on ubuntu.
[08:05] <ardchoille42> shutterbc, Open Synaptic, go to the Status section and click on Installed. That will show everything that is currently installed
[08:05] <gop> and how about samba
[08:05] <andcor> Zyb: ok, can't help you there, I've got an working vpn connection, but it's with my universitys commercial cisco vpn-client
[08:06] <shutterbc> lskd-255, what window manager are you using?
[08:06] <AndrewB> gop: not tried samba, but doubt any problems..
[08:06] <gop> is thier a ppc channel
[08:06] <AndrewB> gop: not that I know of..

[08:07] <gop> and before that
[08:07] <variant> gop: nope.. released in 1999
[08:07] <andcor> jeroen__: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:07] <gop> I used power pc linux
[08:07] <AndrewB> gop: Cool :) I don't really like Yellow Dogg but it is ok.
[08:07] <lskd-255> shutter,  hmmm is gnome the proper response?
[08:07] <shutterbc> andcor: I recently got vpnc working -- it's pretty sweet.  For most things you don't need the commercial cisco client
[08:07] <ardchoille42> jeroen__, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:07] <gop> variant and powerpc linux
[08:07] <shutterbc> and it supports TUN properly

[08:08] <lskd-255> nautilus
[08:08] <lskd-255> ?
[08:08] <gop> varitiant do you about ppc linux
[08:08] <andcor> shutterbc: TUN, that thunarfish in danish ;-)
[08:08] <tonyyarusso> elpargo: You don't have permissions of some sort to the file.
[08:08] <gop> or what ever it was called
[08:08] <variant> elpargo: means you don't have permission to do something to that file.. or that your not the owner
[08:08] <shutterbc> hehe

[08:08] <humbolto> what is the fastest way to setup nvidia drivers in edgy?

[08:09] <tonyyarusso> elpargo: Well, which ones do you have from your cli check?
[08:09] <jeroen__> it worked withoud reconfig resolution
[08:09] <andcor> shutterbc: which means it doesn't have to shut of alle the other network interfaces ?
[08:09] <Savage-{> this is a distro test too
[08:09] <shutterbc> gecko: for the most part, a tutorial for older Ubuntu releases should be pretty close to the current ones, at least with regard to gaim
[08:10] <shutterbc> andcor: that's correct
[08:10] <andcor> shutterbc: sounds very great
[08:10] <shutterbc> I prefer it.

[08:13] <ucordes_> what is a good text based browser?
[08:13] <shutterbc> Savage-{, that's a known bug
[08:13] <AndrewB> ucordes_: links2

[08:13] <Savage-{> shutterbc: thx
[08:13] <ShadowX> Lynx ucordes_
[08:13] <shutterbc> I have the same problem with flash -- hm, may as well try to fix that today.  Something about WMODE...
[08:14] <ucordes_> what's better? links2 or lynx?
[08:14] <Enselic``> ucq
[08:14] <Enverex> Does anyone know of any cool GPS utilities other than GPSDrive (which is a bit carp to be honest)
[08:14] <AndrewB> ucordes_: personal opinion
[08:14] <ucordes_> what's easier to use?
[08:14] <AndrewB> ucordes_: what ever you get used to.
[08:14] <Enselic``> ucordes_, i think lynx is more common

[08:20] <ShadowX> what is the Drawer, Enselic?

[08:20] <gop> Stapol is fuse new
[08:20] <Enverex> brandonbl79, Yes, that's the best one to use
[08:20] <HymnToLife> it you just want to view your NTFS, the best is to install neither
[08:20] <Enselic``> ShadowX, no idea, I guess you can put stuff in it
[08:20] <blueprints88888> OK,also if i was on the windows box with ubuntu as live cd, iw ould be able to mount and play the files without saving it to ubuntu, is that how nfs will work?
[08:20] <gop> enverex what is fuse
[08:20] <Morrisith> kitche i think so  othewiese how could i ssh on the local ip??
[08:20] <Enselic``> ShadowX, never bothered trying

[08:26] <ShadowX> _maurizio_  : no prob. I just learned that a few mins ago myself ;)
[08:26] <palomer> variant, I have to do that for every one of the 20 rars?
[08:26] <cappiz> i have installed my system via debootstrap.... the wired networkcard works... though, my WLAN does not show up with iwconfig... lspci shows its in the system... the module ipw3945 is also loaded, which is the module for my card. Anyone knows what it might be?

[08:27] <ShadowX> Enselic``: are you one of Einstein's great grandkids?
[08:27] <Enselic``> ShadowX, lol
[08:27] <ShadowX> gecko: you have to start typing the person's name. its similar to command completion in Terminal
[08:27] <gma> palomer: alternatively (does the same thing): ls *.rar | xargs unrar
[08:27] <mwe> gma: how about unrar *.rar ? I know *nix sysadimins like to make things complictated, though ;)
[08:27] <ShadowX> or Konsole (if u like it lol)
[08:27] <gecko> No he cant be.. i know one of his nieces..and she doesnt have many cousins lol
[08:28] <gma> mwe: don't know how unrar behaves; maybe it takes multiple args, maybe not
[08:28] <gma> mwe: I'm on macos right now so have no clue
[08:28] <gecko> ShadowX: im not familiar with anything yet too much
[08:28] <ShadowX> gecko: do you seriously know one of Einstein's relatives? lol I figured he would've found some way to cover his tracks lol

[08:28] <ShadowX> gecko: neither am I. Im learning most everything I have said today, I have learned today :P
[08:28] <gecko> Yes ShadowX: my spanish teacher in High School. Her name was Ms. Einstein and she was his great great niece
[08:28] <gecko> she was weird
[08:28] <gma> mwe: besides, it never hurts to learn a simple loop construct at the command line
[08:28] <gma> mwe: comes in very handy
[08:28] <ShadowX> gecko: thats sweet lol I pity you though lol
[08:28] <kitche> Morrisith: sudo gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change the port to another one
[08:28] <blueprints88888> ok i installed ntfs and ran the config file but i dont understand how to connect to my computer.and also does it look to mount the computer you are using ubuntu on?
[08:29] <Enselic``> ShadowX, how fresh are you? counted in days?
[08:29] <ShadowX> Enselic``: 1
[08:29] <klaarn> hey all.  not to interrupt, but i have an installation issue, if anyone wouldn't mind trying to help me figure it out.
[08:29] <_maurizio_> I'm using breezy to attemp to recover an XP hd crash. need to install wine but following the instructions I miss the "deb" command. what should I used instead?
[08:29] <gecko> How fresh?
[08:29] <variant> palomer: no, sorry didnt see your reply
[08:29] <mwe> gma: yeah it could
[08:29] <Enselic``> ShadowX, Windows migrator?
[08:29] <palomer> my reply?
[08:29] <zoli2k> _maurizio_: dpkg
[08:29] <palomer> well, thx guys!
[08:29] <variant> palomer: when you asked if you had to do it to each
[08:29] <ShadowX> lets just say, ive tinkered with Fedora Core, tried on Red Hat, Knopped around in Knoppix, and finally decided to shake hands with Ubuntu
[08:30] <palomer> tis ok!
[08:30] <ShadowX> and yes, sadly, I am a Windows user. and STILL am.
[08:30] <Enselic``> ShadowX, I see. I've used a few dists as well, and Ubuntu is by far my fabourite
[08:30] <gecko> En wat do u mean how fresh? lol
[08:30] <Morrisith> kitche ok changeit to 1812 now
[08:30] <ShadowX> however, allow me to redeem myself. I only use Windows because thats where all my software is. "Pinnacle Studio, Avide, Photoshop, etc etc"
[08:30] <gecko> ShadowX: dont feel bad. I use it still too. I do gfx design with photoshop CS2
[08:30] <ShadowX> same here
[08:30] <gecko> Gimp cant replace photoshop to me
[08:30] <Enselic``> ShadowX, yeah linux still lacks some of the software
[08:31] <dm> ShadowX thats why i have VMware ..
[08:31] <ShadowX> thats the only thing hindering my total migration. which, from what Im starting to see, wont be hindered much longer
[08:31] <blueprints88888> dm whats VMware?
[08:31] <ShadowX> I tried VMware, but it was a pain in the but for me, I couldnt get it to run on linux
[08:31] <ShadowX> Vmware.com
[08:31] <mwe> gecko: Gimp is ok. it's no comparison to photoshop IMHO, though
[08:31] <Enselic``> !vmware
[08:31] <kitche> well considering that photoshop works in wine maybe not the new one not sure
[08:31] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"). Instructions for VMWare Server can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware
[08:31] <ShadowX> its free virtualization software
[08:31] <blueprints88888> oh like a virtual computer?
[08:31] <Enselic``> kitche, cs2 dont afaik
[08:31] <dm> blueprints88888 dear god, your name,.... um, its a virtual machine manager, you can install windows as a virtual machine
[08:31] <ShadowX> in layman's terms, it creates a VIRTUAL computer within a program
[08:31] <ShadowX> exactly
[08:31] <dm> blueprints88888 yep
[08:31] <finchx6> gecko: you can use photoshop in linux...  trust me, I feel the same way
[08:31] <zoli2k> blueprints88888: vmware creates a  virtual environment, virtual pc under linux for any other OS
[08:31] <nixbox> hi all
[08:32] <Enselic``> yo
[08:32] <ShadowX> its like having a computer running in a program, ON your present computer
[08:32] <nixbox> how do i revert back the updates by apt-get update?
[08:32] <variant> blueprints88888: there are other programs that do the same which don't require proprietry software of course..
[08:32] <Morrisith> kitche ok if i pm you i have som questions on things in the file
[08:32] <dm> ShadowX what version of Ubuntu are you running? it is an easy set up
[08:32] <blueprints88888> ah i c, do you install the hole OS or jsut needed files to run windows progs?
[08:32] <ShadowX> so you can run Linux inside of Windows, or Windows inside of Linux, or even deadmoo Mac on Windows or Linux
[08:32] <ShadowX> I downloaded the CD yesterday
[08:32] <_maurizio_> zoli2k, I have to download the package manually before I use dpkg?
[08:32] <mwe> vmware is a pain if you don't have to much ram, though
[08:32] <ShadowX> so the freshest version
[08:32] <ShadowX> yea, I have 512, luckily I can get XP to use a small footprint
[08:32] <gecko> finchx6: u using um... wine to do that?
[08:33] <blueprints88888> i try using wine to run programs but never get it to work
[08:33] <dm> blueprints88888 it will run a full version of the OS, which you can install and run any app that OS can run ( minus 3d games)
[08:33] <variant> blueprints88888: the whole OS, you interact with it as if it were a real seperate computer.. with a virtual network. don't expect to be able to play games on it
[08:33] <ShadowX> Ive never had success running ANYTHING in wine
[08:33] <zoli2k> _maurizio_: what is the problem with apt-get?
[08:33] <_maurizio_> zoli2k, the wine site says I have to use "deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt breezy main"
[08:33] <ShadowX> beleive me, Id have iTunes running right now if I could
[08:33] <finchx6> i can't stand vmware... I only use it for AnyDVD.  I'd much rather use Wine
[08:33] <variant> ShadowX: works pretty well for me
[08:33] <mwe> blueprints88888: most programs don't work. some games and things like notepad do, though
[08:33] <dm> ShadowX only success i have is games, like WoW
[08:33] <Enselic``> nixbox, synaptic, and then the Packege menu, and Force Versiun
[08:33] <gop> dm,  do you know about the best flash disk distro
[08:33] <Morrisith> Shall i enter some ip in the listenaddress in the sshd_config file
[08:33] <blueprints88888> mwe with wine your talking about?
[08:33] <gop> a distro that you run off a flash disk
[08:33] <finchx6> shadow: I've successfully gotten photoshop 7, CS2, and 3ds max to run in wine
[08:33] <zoli2k> _maurizio_:  sudo apt-get install wine
[08:33] <mwe> blueprints88888: yeah
[08:33] <variant> gop: try slax
[08:33] <variant> gop: slax.org
[08:33] <gop> slax is good
[08:33] <dm> gop knoppix has a good one, but its a hack, better to run off a CD
[08:34] <gop> variant,  sweet
[08:34] <ShadowX> I cant wait till Wine is really more stable and useful
[08:34] <mwe> blueprints88888: some thing work but most large programs don't
[08:34] <kitche> Morrisith: I don't mind let me identify :P
[08:34] <blueprints88888> mwe ya i was always able to get the setup to run but not that actual program
[08:34] <blueprints88888> ya
[08:34] <ShadowX> then get Mac software to run on linux
[08:34] <gop> dm do they work like a hard drive or like a live cd
[08:34] <mwe> blueprints88888: what did you try?
[08:34] <Enselic``> ShadowX, it runs WC3, that's enough ;)
[08:34] <gop> say does it save my user acount
[08:34] <gop> and settings
[08:34] <dm> gop live CD
[08:34] <ShadowX> WC3?
[08:34] <Enselic``> ShadowX, Warcraft III
[08:34] <ShadowX> ah I c
[08:34] <gop> oh dm so it reset my setting
[08:34] <gop> :(
[08:34] <ShadowX> Im not much of a gamer
[08:34] <dm> gop we are talking about something other than VMware right?
[08:34] <_maurizio_> zoli2k, I get "E: Package wine has no installation candidate"
[08:34] <klaarn> hi all.  i've got an installation issue.  i can tell you specs on the machine if you want, but this is what i get when trying to boot into the safe graphical install.  https://webspace.utexas.edu/cag625/install.jpg
[08:34] <Enselic``> ShadowX, me neither actually
[08:34] <blueprints88888> mwe, pysoulseek
[08:34] <ShadowX> I mean, Ive played my share
[08:34] <shutterbc> I've had very mixed results with wine.  It IS getting better all the time, but it still has a way to go.  Right now I'm trying to get Quicken 2005 to work on it
[08:34] <ucordes_> how can i make sure a program keeps on running when i start it on a server with a remote ssh client and close the ssh connection?
[08:34] <blueprints88888> mwe, and i forgot what else
[08:34] <psykidellic> hello...i have been able to install 3c59x module for my old 3com vortex card.....but no way i can get eth0 running or get my newly installed ubuntu to recognise the NIC
[08:34] <ShadowX> Im a pirate, and if I cant get it free, I usually dont give a crap about it anymore lol
[08:34] <gop> variant,  I will try slax I want something that don't reset my setting
[08:35] <psykidellic> how do i get my eth0 running now?
[08:35] <dm> gop yes any LiveCD like thing will reset your settings
[08:35] <blueprints88888> mwe actually the real soulseek for windows i mean not pysoulseek
[08:35] <gecko> shadowx : your just like me lol
[08:35] <ShadowX> I LOVE how kopete alerts me every time my name is said
[08:35] <ShadowX> lol
[08:35] <_maurizio_> zoli2k, I'm running a live cd. dunno if this makes a difference
[08:35] <dm> ShadowX prolly not a good place to tell people you are a pirate.
[08:35] <ShadowX> thats scary gecko
[08:35] <ShadowX> lol
[08:35] <gop> dm,  so thier no distro that install on a flash pendrive and works like an os
[08:35] <gecko> yea..ur right
[08:35] <mwe> blueprints88888: most things don't work but some do. frankscorner.org has some guides for different stuff
[08:35] <ShadowX> ok, allow me to rephrase
[08:35] <zoli2k> _maurizio_: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Windows_Applications_in_Linux_.28Wine.29
[08:35] <blueprints88888> ShadowX me too, its niver that way
[08:35] <gecko> hey Shadow: you got aim?
[08:35] <ShadowX> Im a WINDOWS SOFTWARE pirate :P
[08:35] <variant> dm: slax has ways around this (webconfig, usb disk)
[08:35] <blueprints88888> nicer
[08:35] <ShadowX> ya
[08:35] <gecko> use it?
[08:35] <ShadowX> AIM: Corey Edwards 05
[08:35] <dm> gop refer to what variant just said
[08:35] <mwe> blueprints88888: and most small programs I tried in wine do work
[08:35] <blueprints88888> mwe thanks mwe, i will take a look at that
[08:35] <dm> variant aye, but its a bit advanced
[08:35] <gop> k
[08:36] <gop> !slax
[08:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about slax - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:36] <kitche> ShadowX: it's hard to run Mac on Linux there is a terminal that you can use though but it's mostly mac classic
[08:36] <variant> dm: a little
[08:36] <gecko> chinese
[08:36] <Enselic``> I'm against piracty
[08:36] <finchx6> ShadowX: I was pretty satisfied with RythmBox player when I went from iTunes in windows to it
[08:36] <psykidellic> anybody?
[08:36] <gecko> lol darn..the bot didnt do it
[08:36] <gecko> the bot will be racist
[08:36] <zoli2k> _maurizio_: this should work as well on liveCD, wine will be installed in to the RAM disk created by the liveCD
[08:36] <Enselic``> It would be better if ppl helped FLOSS
[08:36] <dm> finchx6 one player to rule them all: Exaile
[08:36] <ShadowX> my only problem with media, EVERYTHING I have is mp3 or mpg or avi
[08:36] <blueprints88888> mwe, i would mind having a vm of windows tho on top of ubuntu, i do have a 160 gig laptop with duo :)
[08:36] <Enselic``> than pirated
[08:36] <ShadowX> yea, I know. Sadly I was never trained in the ways of Freedom *sigh*
[08:36] <mwe> blueprints88888: in that case vmware will probably run great
[08:36] <finchx6> dm: haven't tried that one.  I did like the browsing options in RB
[08:37] <atlantia> anyone know why i am now having issues running a program in a new x session? getting (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
[08:37] <atlantia> error opening security policy file /usr/lib/xserver/SecurityPolicy
[08:37] <variant> Enselic``: even richard stallman says "if you really have to use proprietry software, try not to pay for it"
[08:37] <dm> finchx6 or Listen, thats a really good one
[08:37] <atlantia> tried it as with sudo as well.. used to work fine, broke one day
[08:37] <Enselic``> variant, well he's a bit of a nutcase also :p
[08:37] <kitche> gop: slax is a slackware based livecd that can run on cd or usb
[08:37] <ShadowX> gecko: hit me up on AIM: Corey Edwards 05
[08:37] <variant> Enselic``: can't argue with that.. genius though
[08:37] <dm> finchx6 i like Exaile for its minimode, clean looks, ipod support, and desktop CD cover plugin
[08:37] <blueprints88888> mwe do you know if it is in an respitory at all?
[08:37] <gop> hmm kitche doe sit save your settings
[08:37] <_maurizio_> zoli2k, i can't edit config files on live cd
[08:37] <Enselic``> variant, I don't see how using pirated software helps anyone
[08:37] <variant> Enselic``: I shook his hand :P
[08:37] <finchx6> do either offer basically the same kind of interface as iTunes?
[08:37] <gecko> ShadowX u online? i added u lol
[08:37] <Enselic``> variant, yeah, genious, but a weird genoius :D
[08:37] <mwe> blueprints88888: I'm running it wiht windows 2000 on a centrino 1.2 with 768 ram and it's ok but not for photoshop is not running great
[08:38] <gop> kitche,  but it a live cd, it won't e.g. save your user setting
[08:38] <Enselic``> variant, oh really? thats cool
[08:38] <_maurizio_> zoli2k, I'll look for cmd line opts
[08:38] <gop> on reboot
[08:38] <kitche> gop: I thinkso I can't use it on usb since I can't boot to usb without it's mini cd
[08:38] <stapol> Is this biggest channel on freenode
[08:38] <ShadowX> gecko: yea, Im on
[08:38] <dm> finchx6 no, i found itunes to be bloated and slow, but did its job. i like exaile the most
[08:38] <ShadowX> just IM me
[08:38] <mwe> blueprints88888: I think not but the guide at wiki.ubuntu.com is easy to follow
[08:38] <variant> Enselic``: yeah, floss means business in belfast
[08:38] <gecko> jus add me..  geckogfx
[08:38] <blueprints88888> mwe ya ps takes alot of cpu usage
[08:38] <ucordes_> can't someone help?
[08:38] <zoli2k> _maurizio_: then, you need to download the wine package
[08:38] <gecko> lol cuz i dont even see u on my kopete list
[08:38] <klaarn> anyone mind helping with an install/video issue?
[08:38] <ShadowX> what we need is a remake of iTunes for linux lol
[08:38] <blueprints88888> mwe thanks,im off to set that up right now bye yall
[08:38] <dm> klaarn whats the prob?
[08:38] <variant> ShadowX: ew
[08:38] <ShadowX> gecko: what is ur AIM
[08:38] <ShadowX> variant: what?
[08:39] <Enselic``> klaarn, ask the question trather than asking for a single person
[08:39] <Enselic``> klaarn, greater chance of success
[08:39] <variant> ShadowX: itunes is gross..
[08:39] <gecko> shadowX : geckogfx
[08:39] <finchx6> ah.  See, I prefer the iTunes style interface because I've got roughly 12,500 mp3s.  RythmBox made it a lot easier to browse...LOL
[08:39] <gop> kitche,  last question what package or software does it come with, for e.g. doe sit have a c++ ide or gcc
[08:39] <ShadowX> lol
[08:39] <kitche> ShadowX:  Songbird
[08:39] <variant> ShadowX: I am a big fan of amarok atm
[08:39] <Intelligitimate> How do I create par2 files and split a file to upload it to a usenet group?
[08:39] <ShadowX> Songbird? hmm
[08:39] <Enselic``> finchx6, Banshee is a nice UI alternative to iTunes
[08:39] <dm> kitche songbird is still unstable as hell
[08:39] <kitche> gop: it has bunch of modules that you can add to it
[08:39] <ShadowX> I shall try it
[08:39] <Enselic``> finchx6, mostly the same
[08:39] <gop> you can run itunes in linux
[08:39] <gop> I have
[08:39] <gop> before
[08:39] <klaarn> ok.  i've been trying to install dapper, and even using the safe install, this is what i end up with.  https://webspace.utexas.edu/cag625/install.jpg
[08:39] <dm> shadowX dont try songbird yet. its VERY broken atm
[08:39] <gop> using wine
[08:39] <kitche> dm: so is everything else your point?
[08:39] <gop> but it slow
[08:39] <mwe> !enter | gop
[08:39] <ubotu> gop: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[08:39] <finchx6> yeah stay away from songbird
[08:39] <Enselic``> gop, I belive newer versions are harder to wine as well
[08:40] <klaarn> not sure if i should try a text-based install, or...  any better boop options
[08:40] <dm> shadowX if you are going to try it though,  install it with Automatix2
[08:40] <ShadowX> dm: is it in the universe repo?
[08:40] <ShadowX> cuz I cant find it in Synaptic
[08:40] <mwe> !automatix
[08:40] <dm> kitche not really, songbird isnt worth using yet, it has random crashes and burns up CPU cycles
[08:40] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[08:40] <gecko> dm: Automatix2 is a great program..but isnt there another one thats about =?
[08:40] <finchx6> honestly, I'm not even a big fan of firefox... I'm a graphics artist and I surf deviant art a lot, which firefox takes forever to load
[08:40] <gop> wtf is song bird
[08:40] <dm> gecko no idear
[08:40] <Schminux> Can anyone help me?  I am trying to print from dapper desktop to Lexmark printers z52 and z715 both of which are on WinXP boxes.  I cam see the printers fine from linux desktop, but when I send test page, nothing prints.  Could I have something missing on the XP boxes... SMB protocol, maybe?
[08:40] <gecko> idear hehe
[08:40] <mwe> finchx6: so you like IE?
[08:40] <dm> shadowX prolly not, google automatix2 , youll find a deb
[08:41] <nixbox> how do i switch back to the previous kernel version, because in the update a newer kernel was installed and its causing problems with some drivers which were built with previous kernel version?
[08:41] <ShadowX> hmm, what else is there besides songbird?
[08:41] <kitche> dm: for me it ran perfect but then again I only tried it on windows which it's stable on
[08:41] <ShadowX> I want something good that can play mp3s
[08:41] <dm> kitche in linux its still in Dev,
[08:41] <theearp> Schminux: probable a driver problem
[08:41] <kitche> ShadowX: banshee, amarok for mp3 playback you need to install the libs for it
[08:41] <klaarn> vlc
[08:41] <dm> kitche i loved it in windows.
[08:41] <HymnToLife> nixbox, wouldn't it be better to rebuild them for your new kernel ?
[08:41] <ShadowX> but Im very graphicalyl oriented, so it has to look good too
[08:41] <klaarn> mplayer
[08:41] <klaarn> heh
[08:41] <HymnToLife> !mp3 ShadowX
[08:41] <dm> shadowx aye forgot about banshee, another good one
[08:41] <compengi> shadebug, xmms
[08:41] <finchx6> no..  I use Galeon in linux, and avant in windows.  (I know avant is basically IE, but I like it more than firefox)
[08:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mp3 ShadowX - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:41] <tdn> When I am using RenderAccel on in my xorg.conf, X crashes. Suddenly I can only move the mouse around. I cannot click anything it doesn't react on anything I press on the keyboard.

[08:42] <ShadowX> lol sorry geck
[08:42] <HymnToLife> nixbox, which drivers are causing problems ?
[08:42] <gecko> :P

[08:43] <dm> ahrale the gmail help files will tell you this, use the thunderbird setup for pop3 and smtp
[08:43] <ahrale> i did as was written
[08:43] <finchx6> thats right... I know it uses SSL for the pop...  I can't remember if its TLS for sure or not though

[08:43] <gecko> atlantia: system/administration/groups and users...
[08:44] <gecko> or users and groups.. w/e
[08:44] <theearp> yes it's TLS
[08:44] <atlantia> gecko don't usually use the gui for such, but i will try
[08:44] <jin> adamonline45, azureus, firefox, xchat, sc (shoutcast broadcasting)

[08:45] <theearp> yeah the look for the driver "raw"
[08:45] <jin> adaptr, ^
[08:45] <atlantia> gecko, i had it set up before, i wanna say it's a conf file either xorg.conf or other wise that allows the user access to xinit
[08:45] <adaptr> jin: then something is eating CPU beyond normality
[08:45] <vertana> Allo guys ^^
[08:45] <jin> adaptr, I know, that's why I'm trying to figure out

[08:45] <adaptr> jin: close FF, you might be surprised
[08:46] <nixbox> HymnToLife, well?
[08:46] <dm> ahrale lemme check
[08:46] <jin> adaptr, yea, but 2gb of ram is pretty much enough even if it leaks
[08:46] <HymnToLife> nixbox, that's weird, I never had a problem with it, it should be built in the new kernel, too
[08:46] <adaptr> jin: are you sure ? :D
[08:46] <jin> oh I'm running beryl too
[08:46] <jin> but don't think that will cause this high load
[08:46] <adaptr> jin: FF2 has several weird bugs that can eat up ANY amount of RAM you have
[08:46] <adaptr> jin: you don't ? heh
[08:46] <LonerVamp> chompchompchomp
[08:46] <mwe> beryl is great. It eats my battery life, though.
[08:46] <jin> adaptr, my video card should do that job..
[08:47] <adaptr> jin: profile your apps, run dstat, top , etc.
[08:47] <jin> it has 512mb dedicated onboard

[08:49] <ET-Ben> I have no sound
[08:49] <dm> ahrale thats what yours should look like
[08:49] <mwe> jin: not in a busy channel like this. I'm just warning you. take your chances
[08:49] <AlexC_> ET-Ben: please wait more than 1 min before asking again,
[08:49] <LonerVamp> I don't mind three pasted lines, it doesn't make my eyes water or anything
[08:49] <blueprints88888> oh ok, so would i restart my comp with the cd rom in, or put it in now? and then i owuld install it on the /dev/vmnet#
[08:49] <beniamino> is there a good driver to use with an Intel 810 integrated graphics? both i810 and vesa drivers are crashing a lot
[08:49] <ShadowX> ok, that REALLY sucked
[08:49] <mwe> beniamino: i810 works good for me
[08:50] <Scutter> Hellp
[08:50] <Scutter> Hello
[08:50] <dm> ahrale yes port 587
[08:50] <AlexC_> hello Scutter
[08:50] <ET-Ben> No sound - solution anyone?
[08:50] <Scutter> I am having an installation problem, and am wondering if someone might have some advice.
[08:50] <ShadowX> Gnome just froze, I had to kill it, and now the system seems really unstable
[08:50] <klaarn> you and me both scutter
[08:50] <ShadowX> nothings workin right
[08:50] <AlexC_> ET-Ben: do you have speakers?
[08:50] <blueprints88888> mwe oh ok, so would i restart my comp with the cd rom in, or put it in now? and then i owuld install it on the /dev/vmnet#
[08:50] <linuxnewbie756> how can i use chmod -R to give home/matt/Data read/write access for me
[08:50] <ET-Ben> AlexC_: Its a laptop - 2 speakers
[08:51] <zoli2k> beniamino: are you sure it is not a hardware problem? can you post somewhere the Xorg log file?
[08:51] <ucordes_> !flightgear
[08:51] <ubotu> flightgear: Flight Gear Flight Simulator. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.9.10-2 (edgy), package size 2081 kB, installed size 5484 kB
[08:51] <theearp> chmod -R 700 {dir}
[08:51] <theearp> for just you
[08:51] <ucordes_> how can i start flightgear?
[08:51] <ShadowX> brb gotta restart
[08:51] <nukeDev> k
[08:51] <blueprints88888> linuxnewbie156 im not sure but i believe its how you jsut did it  chmod -R /home/matt/Data
[08:51] <AlexC_> ucordes_: maybe "flightgear" in terminal
[08:51] <Scutter> I'm running Windows XP (unfortunately), and am trying to install Ubuntu in a VMWare virtual machine. When I get to the part of the install where you set the time zone, the time is off by 5 hours (probably a UTC vs Local thing). I click the "Set Time..." button to correct it, but when I get back to the Time Zone window it seems to be locked up.
[08:52] <blueprints88888> or try chmod 777 or a+x look for chmod on google
[08:52] <beniamino> zoli2k: yea, the 810 problem is something i've seen reported on the ubuntu forums, so it's not just hardware
[08:52] <ucordes_> AlexC_: that gives me a command not found...
[08:52] <blueprints88888> not too familiar with chmod
[08:52] <theearp> 777 will give permission to everyone
[08:52] <theearp> just 700 for the user
[08:52] <ET-Ben> AlexC_: Yes I run speakers - on a laptop
[08:52] <klaarn> scutter, can you complete the installation if you leave the time the way it is?
[08:52] <blueprints88888> theearp oh ya
[08:52] <AlexC_> ucordes_: try "locate flightgear"
[08:52] <jin> omg
[08:52] <user01> how do get fonts installed if i have otf and some type1 fonts ?
[08:52] <jin> look at this
[08:52] <zoli2k> beniamino: did you check the ubuntu bug list?
[08:52] <Scutter> That's a good idea, klaarn. Let me give that a try.
[08:52] <jin>  20:52:53 up  8:38,  5 users,  load average: 16.80, 11.34, 7.02
[08:53] <jin> should I reboot?
[08:53] <mwe> blueprints88888: you put in the cd then install from the interface by creating a new profile
[08:53] <AlexC_> jin: why?
[08:53] <klaarn> scutter, if you can get through it, then you can probably correct the time issue once you get it up and running
[08:53] <AlexC_> ET-Ben: Hum, no idea sorry
[08:53] <jin> cause the high load?
[08:53] <Scutter> trying it now, klaarn
[08:53] <AlexC_> jin: not sure,
[08:53] <AlexC_> jin: does it run slow?
[08:53] <blueprints88888> mwe, sorry im not familiar with the terms, when you mean interface and new profile
[08:53] <jin> yea, a bit slow
[08:53] <AlexC_> jin: if it's working fine then why bother =)
[08:54] <ET-Ben> AlexC: Okay - anyone else
[08:54] <ET-Ben> ?
[08:54] <jin> but still okay to work with
[08:54] <jin> it's getting out of hand
[08:54] <kitche> ET-Ben: see if snd_intel8x0 is loaded for kernelk with lsmod|grep snd
[08:54] <nukeDev> When i used windows there was a program called speedfan, this allowed me to change the speeds on the fans on things like my graphics card, does anyone know of a bit of software like this for linux?
[08:54] <carlos> It's a pity that Edgy live cd won't even boot up - seems to be a buggy promise sata driver in the kernel
[08:54] <jin>  20:54:40 up  8:40,  5 users,  load average: 28.90, 15.85, 9.03
[08:54] <ucordes_> AlexC_: there are only files in /usr/share/doc/..
[08:55] <AlexC_> ucordes_: sure you installed it properly?
[08:55] <ucordes_> AlexC_: i reinstalled but that doesn't change anything and it goes very quick
[08:55] <jin> I wonder how my system can have that load average
[08:55] <adaptr> jin: do you know the meaning of the numbers ?
[08:55] <linuxnewbie756> theearp:i formatted the drive as vfat within ubuntu, could that have something to do with it?
[08:55] <jin> adaptr, not really. all I know is that it hsould be below 2
[08:56] <theearp> to do with what
[08:56] <AlexC_> ucordes_: sudo apt-get install --reinstall flightgear
[08:56] <nukeDev> !speedfan
[08:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about speedfan - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:56] <mwe> blueprints88888: run vmware. then go to file->new virtual machine
[08:56] <carlos> sold my friend on ubuntu and it's falling at the first hurdle.  He want's to reinstall ms windows :-(
[08:56] <adaptr> jin: it "shouldn't" be anything, but it helps to understand exactly what it measures
[08:56] <ET-Ben> kitche: can you give that command again?
[08:56] <AlexC_> ucordes_: or sudo apt-get purge flightgear    then   sudo apt-get install flightgear
[08:56] <linuxnewbie756> well, when i did that (i tried everything i saw on here about chmod) well, now i can read the drive, but i can't write to it
[08:56] <nukeDev> lol, some people just love paying for pain
[08:56] <ahrale> thnx dm, still can't send
[08:56] <zoli2k> carlos: You can not rescue all souls ;)
[08:56] <dm> ahrale hmm sorry bro
[08:56] <blueprints88888> mwe ok i will try that
[08:56] <kitche> ET-Ben: lsmod|grep snd see if snd_intel8x0 is loaded
[08:56] <nukeDev> When i used windows there was a program called speedfan, this allowed me to change the speeds on the fans on things like my graphics card, does anyone know of a bit of software like this for linux?
[08:57] <dm> nukeDev what kind of laptop do you have
[08:57] <zoli2k> nukeDev: I don't think so
[08:57] <Flannel> linuxnewbie756: you don't want to chmod it.  You need to give it a umask, either in the mount command, or in your fstab
[08:57] <ahrale> any idea about yahoo & hotmail?
[08:57] <dm> zoli2k there are, only certain laptops though
[08:57] <nukeDev> no laptop
[08:57] <jin> adaptr, I have read that it's  a very complicated measure
[08:57] <nukeDev> desktop
[08:57] <blueprints88888> mwe its asking me to open a virtual machine
[08:57] <zoli2k> dm, which program?
[08:57] <nukeDev> 6800gt v9999ge card
[08:57] <ET-Ben> kitche: I think so
[08:58] <nukeDev> a well laters
[08:58] <linuxnewbie756> what do you mean? edit my fstab, i can do that. but how do i do what you just told me to do?
[08:58] <kmu> Anyone ever have problems with Ubuntu locking up after adding more RAM?
[08:58] <adaptr> jin: if you mean hard to compute by hand, then yes :) but it's not hard to understand
[08:58] <dm> zoli2k i8k
[08:58] <klaarn> omg, i'm ready to kick something.  hehe.  still can't get legible resolution during installation
[08:58] <jin> adaptr, mind to explain it in short?
[08:58] <adaptr> kmu: have you gone from single to dual channel> is the added ram faster/slower/different form the old ?
[08:58] <linuxnewbie756> theearp:not sure, all i want is read/write access to it
[08:58] <theearp> oh well
[08:58] <mwe> blueprints88888: 'file->new virtual machine' opens a new virtual machine wizard here
[08:59] <ShadowX> sorry bout that guys
 I'm not giving up on him just yet - A bit longer searching on google - there must be a way to blacklist a module from initrd...
[08:59] <atlantia> anyone knwo the name of the gnomeprgram responsible for the app menu etc? mine doesn't always load at start (won't load at all right now)
[08:59] <adaptr> jin: well, a popular one-liner is that the load average represents the average number of *runnable* processes in the run queue - which probably still means nothing :)
[08:59] <ShadowX> for some reason, Gnome totally froze like Ice
[08:59] <mwe> blueprints88888: did you install the server or just the player?
[08:59] <blueprints88888> mwe the vmwareplaeyer
[08:59] <mwe> blueprints88888: the player can only run existing vm's
[08:59] <adaptr> jin: in short, it rises when not all processes that want CPU time , get enough of it
[08:59] <ET-Ben> kitche: yes it is
[08:59] <mwe> blueprints88888: you need to install the server
[08:59] <blueprints88888> mwe i got it form the apt-get respitories
[08:59] <zoli2k> carlos, build a kernel?
[08:59] <xptweakerntn> so how can i make the"vfat" drive read/write?
[08:59] <blueprints88888> mwe ah
[09:00] <ShadowX> Enselic``: you still here bro?
[09:00] <blueprints88888> mwe ok i will go get that
[09:00] <mwe> blueprints88888: follow the wiki for the server instead
[09:00] <jin> adaptr, in other words, I need a faster cpu?
[09:00] <adaptr> jin: commonly, your loadavg soars when there are heavy blocking I/O operations waiting
[09:00] <atlantia> anyone knwo the name of the gnomeprgram responsible for the app menu etc? mine doesn't always load at start (won't load at all right now)
[09:00] <SoulChild> hey... how can i edit the ubuntu-kernel?
[09:00] <ucordes_> AlexC_: it's the same thing. it goes real quick
[09:00] <blueprints88888> mwe k thanks will do :)

[09:00] <adaptr> jin: no, it has nothing whatsoever to do with your CPU
[09:00] <atlantia> sorry to spam same question, hoping for a bit
[09:00] <atlantia> bite*
 yea, not a bad idea. thanks.
[09:00] <jin> adaptr, probably hd I/O bottleneck?
[09:00] <Fraeon> Okay, I'm having this problem with firefox where I defined torrents to have a default app but now I can't change it
[09:01] <kmu> adaptr: Well, the old is "IBM approved" 128MB PC133. The new is 512MB PC133 Kingston Value Ram.
[09:01] <jin> I have azureus running with a lot torrents
[09:01] <gleesond> I cant seem to find where the php5 exicutable is located..... any hints
[09:01] <Fraeon> The download actions window doesn't show anything regarding torrents
[09:01] <ucordes_> are there any free and good racing or flying simulations for linux?
[09:01] <ET-Ben> kitche: so where do we go now?
[09:01] <Fraeon> Is there another way to do these things?
[09:01] <anthony_> heya.  I'm trying to scan my shared filestore partition using a mounted Sophos boot disk image file with qemu, but it keeps saying that it "cannot open the drive for direct access".  I think this is because I have it mounted in my home dir.  How can I unmount it and check?
[09:01] <LonerVamp> jin, you've stated you have like 25 different apps open now...of course you'll be running a load, heh
[09:01] <mwe> ucordes_: define good ;)
[09:01] <adaptr> jin: causes are usually a *combination* of CPU speed, amount of memory accesses by running programs, amount of disk I/O required in each timeslice, and number of interrupts not being serviced fast enough
[09:01] <xptweakerntn> theearp:nope, didn't work
[09:01] <konam> someone here knows if the requirements to install feisty are the same as dapper (256 ram, 500Hz or higher processor)?
[09:01] <zoli2k> carlos: or, there are scripts for building initrd
[09:01] <ucordes_> mwe: nice graphics, good gameply
[09:02] <_maurizio_> thanks to everybody. have a nice day
[09:02] <adaptr> kmu: and you are sure the IBM memory is not ECC or buffered or anything ?
[09:02] <mwe> ucordes_: not really I think.
