[00:00] <rbrevoort> unable to play dvd on an ibm thinkpad using totem on ubuntu 7.10
[00:00] <ader10> colourAgga: not a scatter plot, a regular "graphing calculator style" thing

[00:01] <Paddy_EIRE> rbrevoort, did you read !dvd

[00:03] <pike_> BlueRider: hmm.. sudo pkill gdm; sudo pkill Xorg perhaps. or mayebe 'ps -A | grep X | awk {"print $ 1"}| sudo xargs -i kill -9 {}'  :-)
[00:03] <Mez> Paddy_EIRE, and you tell ME why?

[00:07] <jimmygoon> I admit this is a hardware problem, but I would like to know what y'all think: when I turn my screen (the hinge on the laptop/lcd fold) the screen "glitches" and goes loopy and cuts in and out.... I JUST had the system board replaced at the factory... loose cable?
[00:07] <nifty> Ho do you take screen shot in ubuntu
[00:07] <presto101> im trying to install 7.10 and im getting a input output error 7.04 works ok and other distros do as well does anyone know about this issue

[00:07] <jimmygoon> nifty, press the screenshot button
[00:07] <soundray> nifty: Applications-Accessories-Screenshot
[00:07] <jimmygoon> nifty, or run "gnome-screenshot"
[00:07] <colourAgga> jimmygoon: cable problem
[00:07] <rbrevoort> is there an issue with 7.10??
[00:07] <Palintheus> jimmygoon: yes, cable problem
[00:07] <jimmygoon> colourAgga, ugh! I guess the warranty did just run out so I can open it up and have at it
[00:07] <Reng> how do you guys respond the the person with red lettering?

[00:08] <jrib> Reng: use thir nick in your response
[00:08] <pike_> jimmygoon: nope if they introduced it id make em fix it
[00:08] <rbrevoort> is there an issue with 7.10?
[00:08] <colourAgga> jimmygoon: yes you could but opening a laptop is a hell and they use proprietary cables
[00:08] <nonix4> Grr... install-css.sh => install-css.sh
[00:08] <Palintheus> rbrevoort: what kind of issue?
[00:08] <jrib> rbrevoort: if you don't stop being annoying, you're going to be banned
[00:08] <colourAgga> you can't just solder it, it's all really small and tidy
[00:08] <rbrevoort> don't is there one?
[00:08] <rbrevoort> know
[00:08] <nonix4> I meant, checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[00:08] <jimmygoon> colourAgga, I've been through everything. I ripped apart two laptops last christmas ALL the way 100% and built picture frames out of them... so I'm not worried about that
[00:09] <colourAgga> i know, i used to have a client who repairs these stuff
[00:09] <golemz> i've just connected to an smb share, opened rhythmbox, and dragged a folder to the playlist.  Nothing :(
[00:09] <rbrevoort> why?
[00:09] <pike_> rbrevoort: there are several but that is true of every os in every version
[00:09] <preaction_> there are a couple known issues with 7.10, none related to DVD playback
[00:09] <jburd> nonix4: sudo aptitude install build-essential
[00:09] <ader10> soundray: I'm having the hardest time figuring out what you mean
[00:09] <ader10> soundray: Let's start from the beginning
[00:09] <colourAgga> jimmygoon: the problem is you can't repair the cable and  you almost never can buy a loose cable
[00:09] <jrib> rbrevoort: because people have given you answers but you refuse to accept them
[00:09] <elusive> u guys on ubuntu using mirc?
[00:09] <nonix4> jburd: yeah thought I had it but guess missed it in upgrades on this 'puter
[00:09] <colourAgga> so you have to hope it's just loose
[00:09] <jimmygoon> pike_ I just went through hell and back to get them to fix the AC adapter .... I shipped it to them and they replaced the system board and didn't fix my AC cord.... They conceded to just mail me a new adapter but I was told that it was the "last business toshiba would do with me on this computer" :P
[00:09] <rbrevoort> is 7.04 more stable?
[00:09] <colourAgga> elusive: no, bitchx
[00:09] <Palintheus> elusive: I use irssi
[00:09] <soundray> ader10: you have to have some numbers from which to create a chart.
[00:09] <jimmygoon> colourAgga, :S
[00:09] <pike_> elusive: xchat or konversation or pidgin or irssi in terminal
[00:09] <jimmygoon> ugh
[00:10] <colourAgga> those cables are melted together or something, it's a hell
[00:10] <jimmygoon> (maybe I'll just ignore it hum)
[00:10] <Paddy_EIRE> rbrevoort, we have already provided you with several plain english guides on how to play dvds but you have been unwilling to read them... I am now putting you on /ignore I'd assume many others will do the same!

[00:13] <Paddy_EIRE> DUSURP, you could also ask in ##windows perhaps they know of a specific channel for VB.
[00:13] <golemz> ok thanks ;-P

[00:18] <Slash> work the kxdock in ubuntu...? can any say me this please? (sorry about my english)

[00:18] <Paddy_EIRE> colourAgga, try not to discuss illegal activities in here
[00:18] <Quinthomas> Odd that frost wire does not seem to load with ubuntu
[00:18] <jrib> !ati > NightDragon (read the private message from ubotu)
[00:19] <Paddy_EIRE> Quinthomas, have you installed the Java Runtime
[00:19] <NightDragon> thanks, jrib
[00:19] <RabidWeezle> how do I get a root terminal up?
[00:19] <colourAgga> Paddy_EIRE: p2p, torrents and newsgroups don't need to be used for illegal activities and in my country it is legal to download any music/movie but i can see where you are going ;)
[00:19] <jrib> !sudo > rabidweezle (read the private message from ubotu)
[00:19] <Quinthomas> No, I have not...
[00:19] <Quinthomas> Thank you though.
[00:19] <colourAgga> RabidWeezle: in a terminal do "sudo bash"
[00:19] <colourAgga> or something like that.
[00:19] <RabidWeezle> thanks
[00:19] <NightDragon> hey guys
[00:19] <mechung> anyone here ever used quanta plus?
[00:19] <preaction_> why do "sudo bash" when you can do "sudo -i"?
[00:19] <NightDragon> my video cared is "M7"
[00:20] <RabidWeezle> wasn't looking to sudo every command hehe
[00:20] <NightDragon> just to let you know
[00:20] <soundray> RabidWeezle: that's not recommended -- sudo -i is better
[00:20] <jrib> colourAgga, RabidWeezle: sudo -i  is preferred if you really need it
[00:20] <nareshov> sudo -s
[00:20] <Quinthomas> -idle to install runtime..
[00:20] <RabidWeezle> I do according to this wiki
[00:20] <soundray> colourAgga: with sudo bash, you get mixed environment variables. Please don't recommend it.
[00:20] <RabidWeezle> setting up internet connection sharing and it says NOT SUDO use a root terminal
[00:20] <preaction_> nareshov, sudo -s doesn't load root's profile (it's the difference between sudo su and sudo su -)
[00:21] <colourAgga> okay didn't know that, i always use su -
[00:21] <Intelligitimate> My evolution mail is messed up.

[00:30] <stefg> Nemes: http://www.nongnu.org/xhotkeys/ is the most simple solution imho
[00:30] <IdleOne> arghh2d2: locate keys should find them
[00:30] <arghh2d2> heheh
[00:30] <jrib> rbrevoort: tell us the message you get and what you are installing.  Use paste.ubuntu-nl.org.  Do not paste in the channel
[00:31] <rbrevoort> jrib: just a security message and i shuold look into it

[00:32] <IdleOne> bill: sudo apt-get install amsn
[00:32] <arghh2d2> Ok, next question, should i assume my cd burner is faulty because it doesnt write, even tho it reads?  or should i try a new driver or tweak it somehow?
[00:32] <jrib> queeneli: you are using bandwidth of course, whether they are a waste or not depends on you
[00:33] <IdleOne> queeneli: do you have a limit?

[01:03] <Phydoux> Can someone tell me how to mount a thumb drive? For some reason I have to do a manual mount as root.
[01:03] <choudesh> kode: I know. Think a dev would know some tricks - but I am all out of tools. ;-)
[01:03] <rbrevoort> digitori_: ok .. what should i do now?
[01:03] <digitori__> rbrevoort on first tab youll see five boxes make sure first four are selected

[01:04] <_ebirtaid> taz what is remote assistance
[01:04] <Phydoux> Thats what I need the "whatever" part...
[01:04] <jburd> taz: System > Preferences > Remote Desktop
[01:04] <_ebirtaid> phydoux: after you plug it in type dmesg it will tell you what the device name is
[01:04] <broken> Got a question, for "ubuntu studio" is it possible I can grab it in CD image size as opposed to DVDs?

[01:04] <blahblahx> Okay so I've remastered Ubuntu Gutsy (started with the minimal install, built up on it using gnome-core and other apps). The livecd works great, has all the programs I want on it.
[01:04] <blahblahx> When I fire up ubiquity, it can go through the install steps perfectly, but when I click the big ol install button, it starts installing things I didn't have on my livecd like openoffice, language packs, etc...
[01:04] <cake4567> can I transfer my firefox passwords from vista to ubuntu's firefox?
[01:04] <blahblahx> Why is ubiquity doing this? Shouldn't it just copy over the contents of my livecd onto the HD?
[01:04] <blahblahx> If I need to edit some files to make ubiquity only install the apps on my hd, then where do I find those? Is there a script I can use to let ubiquity know to only install the apps on my cd?
[01:05] <rbrevoort> digitori_: it's installing now :)
[01:05] <digitori__> rbrevoort: click the next tab "Third Party Software"
[01:05] <digitori__> rbrevoort:cool

[01:06] <cake4567> can I transfer my firefox passwords from vista to ubuntu's firefox?
[01:06] <jimjam> jburd: Honestly! Now do you know how I can edit the icon?
[01:06] <RagingBull> i had to pass a few thing to the kernel when i installed 7.04 how do i edit those settings now that the system is already installed
[01:06] <jburd> Do you mean Emblem?
[01:06] <digitori__> rbrevoort: its worthwhile going back to the rpositories and installing "partner" and "free none free from the Third Party Software tab

[01:07] <jburd> Ah, I'm afraid you couldn't do that for individual directories like on Windows.
[01:07] <cake4567> if I hit alt f2....how do I end a prog?
[01:07] <oxeimon> anyone know how to do a condition macro in a makefile?
[01:07] <jburd> You'll need to use an emblem.
[01:07] <_ebirtaid> broken: believe so
[01:07] <lix> broken: intel core2?
[01:07] <jburd> Just add an emblem if one doesn't exist to satisfy your needs.  :-)
[01:08] <_ebirtaid> lix is there another kind? :D

[01:08] <lix> broken: i've got intel core2 as well. i used xte ix86 CD
[01:08] <Phydoux> It sees it as a SCSI device? "scsi 3:0:0:0: Direct-Access     KINGSTON DATA TRAVELER    1.11 PQ: 0 ANSI: 1 CCS"

[01:08] <jburd> taz: Someone else running a VNC server can let you connect to their machine.  However, you need a client to connect to them.  Terminal Server Client lets you do exactly that.  Just type in their IP address, choose the protocol of their server, add authentication information if necessarry and click Connect.

[01:09] <lix> broken: amd64 is for AMD-64 bit processors not for intel coreX
[01:09] <Chris33> if u have more than 4GB, 64bit makes more sense. At 2GB, it doesn't matter
[01:09] <jburd> Gin:  Why do you want to remove the GIMP package?  ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage, removing it does no harm.
[01:09] <pipegeek> Mo9a7i: you already have it installed, but to configure it, you need to install the control panel for it (by default, you can only turn on and off a few things)
[01:09] <lix> broken: RAM>no matter

[01:10] <blahblahx> anyone here actually know something about ubuntu?
[01:10] <kode> and then do like pipegeek said
[01:10] <thedefender> how do i access the ATI control panel
[01:10] <Chris33> 32 bit doesn't support more than 4GB, so 64 bit is an advantage if you have 4 or more

[01:22] <broken> and he is using ubuntu
[01:22] <yadayada> jimcooncat, anything, making sure my database cannot be altered, deleted, etc
[01:22] <broken> Just kinda weird, you don'tr eally see that name twice.
[01:22] <munk_> broken: there are a number of munk's in this channel
[01:22] <broken> yea i see that now.
[01:22]  * broken goes to buy dvd's
[01:22]  * digitori__ thinks this might be a monastery?
[01:22] <broken> be back later. cheers.
[01:23] <jared> Okay I just fixed up ndiswapper on my laptop, and it's on livecd. It says I need to reboot, but I can't. What do I do?
[01:23] <digitori__> jared: why cant you reboot?
[01:23] <jimcooncat> yadayada: then you need to make sure anything that can alter that database is locked down.   I downloaded it, tried installing on a box and poof.  The installer sucks, and it doesn't even list India in the country list.    Not to mention, they don't even have a 64-bit version on offering.
[01:24] <yadayada> jimcooncat; correct
[01:24] <cake4567> jburd: whys that important?
[01:24] <_ebirtaid> jburd: nice
[01:24] <digitori__> jared: good point....youll lose settings if you reboot yes!
[01:24] <fstpierre> Hi

[01:24] <jared> what can I do?
[01:24] <yadayada> jimcooncat; php
[01:24] <jared> !ndiswrapper
[01:24] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:24] <jburd> cake4567: Why isn't it?
[01:25] <cake4567> cuz this is ubuntu chat lol
[01:25] <yadayada> jimcooncat: php and php only
[01:25] <jburd> cake4567: Ah, well.   I'm praising Ubuntu for its goodness.  :-)
[01:25] <cake4567> if ubuntu didnt it would be a problem
[01:25] <jimcooncat> yadayada: you write the php code or using someone else's?
[01:25] <cake4567> alright yay ubuntu
[01:26] <yadayada> jimcooncat: i have but i have spent so much time protecting it from sql injection and other hacks, that is why i want to make sure i take my time with this server so i dont find myself getting hacked
[01:26] <fstpierre> i have a Question about cron jobs
[01:27] <_ebirtaid> yadayada: set you root pass to password, that is a good start
[01:27] <_ebirtaid> then open all ports
[01:27]  * digitori__ says what?
[01:28] <_ebirtaid> joke ;p
[01:28] <fstpierre> if i add 00 03 0 0 0 /etc/init.d/courier-imap restart it should restart courier-imap at 3 oclock everyday correct?
[01:28] <digitori__> lol
[01:28] <desertc> jburd: everyone thinks their distribution is the best... but it comes down to support and who stands behind the product
[01:28] <digitori__> _ebirtaid: im glad somebody has a sense of humour
[01:28] <fstpierre> if i add 00 03 0 0 0 /etc/init.d/courier-imap restart to the crontab it should restart courier-imap at 3 oclock everyday correct?
[01:28] <_ebirtaid> desertc: also depends on what your goals are for the OS
[01:28] <jimcooncat> yadayada: so your server only does your webhosting, right?
[01:28] <MrSmurfing> join #cisco
[01:28] <_ebirtaid> I do wgat I can digi
[01:28]  * digitori__ says support it yourself is best line
[01:28] <MrSmurfing> oops
[01:29] <yadayada> jimcooncat: well idk, its the only server i have, so its gotta do it all, but that should be it, right?
[01:29] <desertc> _ebirtaid: hardest thing about open source is not putting features onto a disk, it's getting the bugs fixed.
[01:29] <_ebirtaid> very true
[01:30] <yadayada> jimcooncat: pm?
[01:30] <greencookie> hey guys how do I know if i have compiz enabled?

[01:30] <fstpierre> if i add 00 03 0 0 0 /etc/init.d/courier-imap restart to the crontab it should restart courier-imap at 3 oclock AM everyday correct?
[01:30] <_ebirtaid> greencookie: cube is a good indicator
[01:30] <greencookie> um how do I get the cube?:)
[01:31] <_ebirtaid> super+mouse click should let you drag

[01:31] <greencookie> _ebirtaid: super?
[01:31] <_ebirtaid> windows key

[01:32] <greencookie> yep
[01:33] <_ebirtaid> digi I hardly look at mine so its not relevant
[01:33] <digitori__> greencookie: install compiz manager from synaptic too then go to your settings menu and run advanced desktop effects settings
[01:33] <_ebirtaid> I guess I could get a sticker or something
[01:33] <greencookie> ok digitori__will try that
[01:34] <Intelligitimate> Evolution is broke.
[01:34] <digitori__> greencookie: you will then get access to loads of nice effect settings
[01:34] <m_tadeu> is there a program similar to ksubtitleripper?

[01:40] <fstpierre> 00 03 0 0 0 /etc/init.d/courier-imap restart will that restart courier-imap every morning at 3
[01:40] <mechung> question.... i use quanta plus with apache and when i save the quanta files i save them in /var/www/  and i was under the assumption that once that was done it would show up...ie  i put in localhost and see nothing but the apache folder open it and all it says is " Its Working!" what am i doing wrong???
[01:41] <Thor> is there a program that manages like bootsplash, GDM, and all that kind of stuff?
[01:41] <munk_> anyone here work with KDevelop?
[01:41] <Paddy_EIRE> fetenfetenn, the name of the program would be a good start ;)
[01:41] <Jenkem> Paddy_EIRE: I'm not jenda_
[01:41] <_ebirtaid> thor: what?
[01:41] <Pelo> fstpierre, it should, but I suggest you try it out by giving it a restart time a few minutes away
[01:41] <fetenfetenn> Paddy: well, it was in my first line: gnome-appearance-properties
[01:41] <Paddy_EIRE> _ebirtaid, unimpressed by what?? :/
[01:41] <jmslouie> why does the sound after showing the login window repeat continuously?

[01:42] <Jenkem> _ebirtaid: what joke?

[01:43] <SiegeX> yes
[01:43] <SiegeX> PM
[01:43] <Thor> it was something i found in the repo's but i cant remember the name of it

[01:50] <mechung> mik3: sudo -l i think

[01:51] <BlueRider> Same problem. Can anyone explain me (even in private) how am I supposed to shut down the X server AND be able to do an install (write command line instructions) afterwards?
[01:51] <stgmavrick> Pelo:  i guess i like a good majority of the "enlightenment" desktops ppl customize
[01:51] <m1k3> No, no I wanna be able to create folders without terminal but it's saying I don't have the right permissions..
[01:51] <m1k3> ok
[01:51] <Pelo> BlueRider, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[01:51] <BlueRider> it doesn't do anything, pelo
[01:52] <Pelo> stgmavrick, pick one
[01:52] <BlueRider> it says it stops it, but it doesn't do anything
[01:52] <jrib> m1k3: what folders are you creating?
[01:52] <stgmavrick> Pelo:  i like my desktop to look "3dish" similar to how OS X pulls it off

[01:53] <m1k3> gksudo nautilus worked thank you
[01:53] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[01:53] <_ebirtaid> blue yes
[01:53] <Pelo> stgmavrick,  I have no idea what 3dish means and I have never used osx,  start with  www.gnome-look.org you might find that easier to start
[01:53] <Jack_Sparrow> m1k3: use sparingly
[01:53]  * Pelo goes back to watching his show
[01:53] <BlueRider> well if i do that, then i will be transported to a text window where i don't receive a prompt
[01:54] <BlueRider> i can write stuff on the screen but i can't write commands
[01:54] <_ebirtaid> hit ctrl alt f1 and it should bring you to a prompt
[01:54] <Jack_Sparrow> m1k3: It is a huge app ...  I would like to suggest thunar  if you want to do that very often... it is lighter and less likely to mess up something

[01:59] <asn> Greetings. I was planning on installing Ubuntu to a friends PC tomorrow (He knows nothing about computers in general, and he is willing to learn so it's an ideal chance), but I just remembered that he has no Internet connection (He will get one in a month or so), and Ubuntu doesn't come with mp3 support by default.
[01:59] <Jack_Sparrow> domor: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/Desktop/xorg.conf.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T)          is a way to make a copy.. for next time...

[02:18] <lockd> Pelo: a way to force mencoder to use NO VIDEO would be acceptable
[02:18] <m1k3> :S gksu works but gksu nautilus doesn't make the nautilus window popup..
[02:18] <desertc> jwbbccp: _ebirtaid: he should put the GRUB partition on an internal drive
[02:18] <mneptok> IMORB: have you used anything like Automatix? if so, that may well be contributing to the problem.
[02:18] <_ebirtaid> if he does that it will have to boot from the primary drive in bios
[02:18] <sfears> my computer shut down in the middle of installing upgrades last night, now it hangs when i try to download & upgrade.  Is there a way i can flush everything out and start over?
[02:18] <gogeta>  lockd use vid=null
[02:18] <_ebirtaid> not usb
[02:18] <Pelo> IMORB, check in appearance, see if you have compiz enabled , there are 3 levels I beleive make sure you are completely disabled
[02:18] <gogeta> no video
[02:18] <IMORB> mneptok: no I have not used any of those packages
[02:18] <desertc> Pelo: I like that - put grub in both places.  clever
[02:19] <IMORB> Pelo I will try that
[02:19] <sfears> wait.. looks like it's movinbg
[02:19] <sfears> moving*
[02:19] <mneptok> IMORB: invoke Totem from the command line and see what errors it spews.
[02:19] <desertc> _ebirtaid: I like what pelo said, put it both places
[02:19] <_ebirtaid> that would work also
[02:19] <Pelo> desertc, actualy I mean just put grub on the external,  ie the same hdd you have ubuntu on , that way when you remove the hdd the boot process is not affected
[02:20] <_ebirtaid> pelo: yes :D
[02:20] <IMORB> mneptok: it says jackd not found
[02:20] <desertc> Pelo: Putting it in both places would be more resilient.
[02:20]  * Pelo has two hdd one with windows and one with ubuntu and he can remove either,  the other way , he can't remove any
[02:20] <sfears> that's not the first time my computer has shut down in the middle of upgrades.  I think linux should have some kind of resume, windows works pretty well
[02:20] <gogeta> desertc agreeed removing a hd and having grub on a non removable = truble
[02:20] <cappicard> this is getting extremely annoying. In KDE, everytime i accidentally hit control-backspace, it kills KDE and I'm left with a beige background with just my cursor.  anyone have this happen?
[02:20] <IdleOne> desertc: then wich grub boots wich hdd?
[02:21] <desertc> IdleOne; whichever is configured in BIOS
[02:21] <gogeta> its ctrl alt backspace
[02:21] <mneptok> IMORB: "totem /path/to/video.mpg"
[02:21] <domor> jack_sparrow: Cheers, there is alsot going on on here cheers thought a much appreciated
[02:21] <gogeta> cappicard its ctrl alt backspace kills x
[02:21] <cappicard> gogeta: I know
[02:21] <Pelo> desertc, not realy,  grub is in two parts,  phase one on the boot sector of the bios boot hdd, phase 2 on which ever partiton ubuntu is located,   if  phase one can'T find phase two you are screwed which is why it is better to have both on the same hdd
[02:21] <cappicard> X is still running,but KDE is dead.
[02:21] <Godscape> Can someone help me convert proprietary video (MPEG, Apple Quicktime) to open source formats (Ogg Theora) please?
[02:22] <dahitokiri> do you guys know of a free library designed for accessing multiple archive formats (7z, rar, zip, tar, gz, bzip2)?
[02:22] <IdleOne> desertc: then he would have to set bios everytime he removes the drive. leaving it on the external and setting bios to boot for usb and then from hdd makes more sense I would think
[02:22] <John_R> what are the advantages of using kde over gnome?
[02:22] <jwbbccp> i'm going to check out those sites the bot sent me to... thx for the help, i'll be back if i have more questions...
[02:22] <cappicard> i have to kill X with ctrl-alt-bksp
[02:22] <gogeta> cappicard you mean gdm is starting back up its supposed to
[02:22] <golem_> fascinating.  desktop cube, emerald, os-x-like theme, awm all working great.. then i click on the workspace switcher in the dock, and the dock loses all icons, the top menu disappears, and no windows are display.  alt-f2 works, though.  does this ring a bell w/ anyone? using restricted ati driver and xgl
[02:22] <digitori__> sfears: did you apply the upgrades first?
[02:22] <pgan> Hi - my eth0 connection does not come up automatically; I have to run dhclient when I log in.  /var/log/syslog says NetowrkManager disables it: http://pastebin.com/m65148fa0  What can I do?
[02:22] <IMORB> mneptok: video plays but still says jackd not found
[02:22] <Pelo> Godscape,  google or search the forum for  mov2avi
[02:22] <digitori__> sfears: sorry the updates
[02:22] <desertc> Pelo: Phase two happens when you select a kernel, so you just don't select the kernel when the drive is removed.  ?
[02:22] <mneptok> IMORB: no shutdown?
[02:22] <Pelo> Godscape, or some such
[02:22] <cappicard> gogeta: after i kill the X server, yes.
[02:22] <domor> jack_sparrow: what you think?
[02:22] <_ebirtaid> jhon_r: kde is more like windows
[02:22] <_ebirtaid> and sucks
[02:22] <IMORB> mneptok: i am having this problem once in 3-4 days
[02:22] <Godscape> Pelo: ffmpeg2theora?
[02:22] <_ebirtaid> ;)
[02:22] <cappicard> but i keep hitting control-backspace
[02:23] <computer_01> hi, id like to have dual boot, windows vista and ubuntu. which one should i install first or it does not matter?
[02:23] <desertc> IdleOne: Your BIOS doesn't let you set a boot order?
[02:23] <cabldevil> i am formating a 2 drive 800 gig lvm what is the best file system to use ext3 or ext2 or something else?
[02:23] <gogeta> cappicard oh its not killing gdm
[02:23] <cappicard> leaving me with a useless session until i restart X
[02:23] <cappicard> no
[02:23] <IMORB> mneptok: no shutdown
[02:23] <sfears> no.. i didn't, i went straight to distro upgrade
[02:23] <mneptok> IMORB: that's somewhat reassuring
[02:23] <cappicard> gdm returns to the login sreen
[02:23] <sfears> i figured they'd all be packaged in there with it
[02:23] <cappicard> screen
[02:23] <Pelo> desertc, phase two is the grub menu.lst file wich is located in the ubuntu partiton under /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:23] <Oli```> cd #sh
[02:23] <Oli```> doh >_<
[02:23] <mneptok> IMORB: and it plays despite the error?
[02:23] <gogeta> cappicard its supposed to
[02:23] <digitori__> right whos gonna merge the best of gnome with best of kde
[02:23] <desertc> Pelo: Oooohh...
[02:23] <pgan> computer_01: I would guess you have to install Vista first, Ubuntu second
[02:23] <IMORB> mneptok: i know i wanted to know is this coz of the hd issues
[02:23] <IMORB> mneptok: yes it does play
[02:24] <gogeta> cappicard what you whant it to do crash to text?
[02:24] <pgan> Previous versions of Windows would wipe out the disk when they installed
[02:24] <mneptok> IMORB: what HD issues?
[02:24] <computer_01> pgan, thanks. can any1 confirm this? :)
[02:24] <domor> hmmm
[02:24] <digitori__> ah gotta go folks
[02:24] <kode> computer_01: yes windows first
[02:24] <desertc> Pelo: Well, just copy that file to both drives.  That's not too bad.
[02:24] <domor> just out of interest anyone had any rpoblesm with "restricted vido drivers" and booting
[02:24] <IMORB> mneptok: I was reading on launchpad about hd spinning too much
[02:24] <computer_01> ok thnx
[02:24] <Pelo> desertc, phase one only points to one files on one partition
[02:24] <mneptok> IMORB: you own a laptop?
[02:25] <kode> you're welcome computer_01
[02:25] <pgan> computer_01, ... but why would you even want to have WIndows weigh you down??
[02:25] <IMORB> mneptok: yes i do wn a laptop
[02:25] <desertc> Pelo: So you have two disks, two boot loaders, and two /boot partitions....
[02:25] <IMORB> mneptok: it is a toshiba
[02:25] <mneptok> IMORB: and it's not plugged into the wall?
[02:25] <cappicard> gogeta: no. i want KDE to stop crashing when i hit ctrl-backspace.
[02:25] <computer_01> pgan, its for a customer :\
[02:25] <desertc> Pelo: Depending on which disk the BIOS chooses, will be set up to boot and select either disk
[02:25] <gogeta> cappicard dont hit ctrl backspace
[02:25] <gogeta> lol
[02:25] <IMORB> mneptok: it is and I have my battery out
[02:25] <mneptok> IMORB: then the issue does not affect you
[02:25] <IdleOne> odd key combo ctrl-backspace
[02:25] <cappicard> gogeta: i keep hitting it accidentally when i type fast.
[02:25] <computer_01> i tried telling them to only use ubuntu but you know....
[02:26] <cappicard> IdleOne: it should not cause kde to die
[02:26] <gogeta> cappicard well thats a x-kill command
[02:26] <IMORB> mneptok: oh ok then it must be my heatsink
[02:26] <computer_01> so i have to slit the HD and have a dual boot
[02:26] <IMORB> mneptok: not my laptop then
[02:26] <Pelo> desertc, I guess you can have an internal hdd with it's own phase one , pointing to phase two on that same internal hdd, with a menu.lst file on that hdd that has an entry poiting to a kernel on the external hdd and vice versa on the external hdd,  if you like things complicated
[02:27] <gogeta> cappicard get a penny or some tape and a pice a paper marked no lol
[02:27] <IMORB> mneptok: thanks a lot
[02:27]  * Pelo doesnt, realy want to talk to desertc  anymore he just makes simple things realy complicated
[02:27] <IMORB> Pelo: thanks, I think it is my hardware issue
[02:27] <mneptok> IMORB: the jackd error is safely ignored.
[02:27] <pgan> cappicard:, is it KDE or X which crashes?
[02:27] <Pelo> IMORB, I didn'T help much but I'm a sucker for gratitude  so I'll take it
[02:27] <cappicard> KDE
[02:27] <gogeta> pgan: hes hitting the kill command
[02:28] <Godscape> How can I make VLC the default application for DVDs and videos?
[02:28] <cappicard> X is still running.
[02:28] <IMORB> mneptok: yes it is safely accepted
[02:28] <IMORB> mneptok: what is jackd
[02:28] <pgan> then I dunno, sorry
[02:28] <cappicard> i have no choice but to restart X at that point
[02:28] <Pelo> Godscape, menu > sytem> prefs > removable media
[02:28] <klos> hm is there a xchat totem now playing plugin ??? :)
[02:28] <desertc> Pelo: The added complexity is to accommodate whether the external drive is booting or not, and when it is removed, the computer isn't disabled.  It's not any more complex than setting up a bootable USB stick.
[02:28] <gogeta> cappicard i would check your keybord maybe the alt key is stuck down
[02:28] <gogeta> ctrl backspace shouldent kill it
[02:29] <gogeta> alt needs to be pressed
[02:29] <scguy318> the combination is Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, yes
[02:29] <Pelo> desertc, what you need to consider is , what do you ahve on the internal hdd ? jsut windows ? then forget about putting grub on that , it won'T need it , just put grub on the external and boot from the external when you have to
[02:29] <Pelo> afk
[02:31] <crazyman> hello :)
[02:31] <Godscape> Thanks, Pelo!
[02:31] <pgan> cappicard: try using the DontZap option for your keyboard.  See "man xorg"
[02:31] <gogeta> pgan but wouldent that disable killing from keybord
[02:31] <crazyman> i have a question. when I try to mount the windows partition from gnome it says it can't and gives me an error msg that if i want to mount it i could force mount it ... any ideas?
[02:32] <pgan> Hi - my eth0 connection does not come up automatically; I have to run dhclient when I log in.  /var/log/syslog says NetowrkManager disables it: http://pastebin.com/m65148fa0  What can I do?
[02:32] <gogeta> pgan you need that sometimes
[02:32] <scguy318> crazyman: are you dual-booting? make sure you cleanly shutdown Windows
[02:32] <gogeta> pgan cant he just change the hot keys from that combo to another maybe ctrl alt delete
[02:32] <stgmavrick> lol so used to /join #gentoo, took me a minute to realize where i was
[02:33] <domor> Jack_Sparrow: If you can help me please email me<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[02:33] <gogeta> oh wait
[02:33] <pgan> gogeta: yes, I was guesing that the key combo was killing X
[02:33] <domor> im off
[02:33] <gogeta> pgan ctrl alt home
[02:33] <domor> bye
[02:33] <crazyman> scguy318, yea maybe thats the issue im going to double check thanks!
[02:33] <gogeta> pgan cant he remap it
[02:33] <stgmavrick> _ebirtaid:  its funny, that guide says most users cant get conky to work properly but i dont see whats so difficult about it
[02:34] <pgan> gogeta and cappicard: I good idea, I don't know KDE.  cappicard - check for that
[02:35] <fluffman> ok, so I realized my torrenting problem...I imported my old firefox settings from Kubuntu, and it was listing Ktorrent.  I removed those settings, and my torrents opened in the default BitTorrent client, but they aren't downloading.  Where are the options for BitTorrent so I can enter my forwarded ports from my router?
[02:35] <gogeta> pgan well having dontzap can be bad swence if x does lock he whont be able to force kill it easly
[02:35] <_ebirtaid> fn'stgmavrick: it is pretty straight forward
[02:35] <gogeta> pgan well i guess sudo killall x would work
[02:35] <stgmavrick> _ebirtaid:  since i have my top bar enabled, i want to edit # Gap between borders of screen and text
[02:35] <stgmavrick> gap_x 10
[02:35] <stgmavrick> gap_y 10
[02:35] <stgmavrick>  correct?
[02:35] <stgmavrick> sorry about that!
[02:36] <_ebirtaid> yep
[02:36] <pgan> gogeta, cappicard: alright, check if you can change the KDE bindings first
[02:36] <_ebirtaid> depending which axis you want it to be different on
[02:36] <pgan> He can also use Alt+F1 to get to a console, then killall X
[02:36] <gogeta> yea i said that
[02:37] <desertc> fluffman: use gconf-editor to increase the maxport by 5-6 for more download streams
[02:37] <pgan> Sorry, Control+Alt+F1
[02:37] <gogeta> but i have had some nasty locks befor not even that worked
[02:37] <Dethlok> how can i make my gdesklets icon show in my taskbar?
[02:37] <gogeta> couldent get to text
[02:37] <gogeta> but in most cases yea killall works
[02:38] <pgan> My eth0 connection does not come up automatically; I have to run dhclient when I log in.  /var/log/syslog says NetowrkManager disables it: http://pastebin.com/m65148fa0  Ideas anyone?
[02:38] <s00p> hi
[02:38] <untung> hello
[02:38] <Dethlok> how can i make my gdesklets icon show in my taskbar?
[02:39] <untung> i have ubuntu 7.04 loaded into my virtual machine using vmware
[02:39] <gogeta> Dethlok just add em
[02:39] <s00p> vm's are for wimps! :P
[02:39] <Pelo> Dethlok, it usualy doesn't and when it does ppl ask how to make it go away , why do you want it ?
[02:39] <_ebirtaid> thats good untung
[02:39] <untung> how can i upgrade to unbuntu 7.1? should i use download or use the cd?
[02:39] <Dethlok> its easier to turn it off with that little icon =)
[02:39] <_ebirtaid> download is easier
[02:39] <gogeta> lol
[02:40] <cappicard> ok... it's shift-backspace that is killing kde
[02:40] <Dethlok> i just did the update and it worked great for me
[02:40] <Pelo> untung,  I recommend you get the alt cd or the dvd and upgrade from that , it's actualy a bit quicker
[02:40] <gogeta> Pelo people ask on how to make windows go away to hehe
[02:40] <Pelo> gogeta, linux is the only AV i found that gets rid of windows
[02:41] <gogeta> Pelo hehehe
[02:41] <cappicard> oh wait... xgl has shift-backspace mapped. wtf
[02:41]  * Pelo just needs to convince his brother
[02:41] <untung> pelo: in my case should i reinstall using the cd?
[02:41] <Home-User_> Hello
[02:41] <Home-User_> I've got an Xsession error
[02:41] <_ebirtaid> why reinstall?
[02:41] <umarzuki> haha..untung=luck
[02:41] <gogeta> Pelo man thers a markting sceme there conserder it stolen
[02:41] <Pelo> untung, no you can upgrade using the cd , but you can clean install to if you want
[02:41] <Home-User_> its quite a long read so could someone take a look at it please?
[02:42] <gogeta> Pelo linux antivires effectly gets rid of the windows virise
[02:43] <boontoo> i want grub to be able to let me choose which default language to boot into anyone kno how?
[02:43] <Pelo> gogeta, the slogan : " Mcaffe coudln't to it , Symantec couldn'T do it , Avast couldn't do it, only linux can cure your computer of Windows"
[02:43] <cappicard> ok... wtf decided to assign shift-backspace to restart xgl needs to be shot
[02:43] <gogeta> Pelo hehe
[02:43] <Pelo> boontoo,  your best bet would be to ask in #grub, but I donT, think it is possible , you can choose the default language from the ubuntu login screen however
[02:43] <gogeta> Pelo 2008 edtion now removes the vista trojen
[02:44] <cappicard> there we go. if i assign a default layout to my keyboard, it effectively disables that key sequence.
[02:44] <cappicard> is that in the FAQ?
[02:44] <boontoo> Pelo: ok wel is there a way that i can use a different language automatically depending on who is logged in? eg for me its english but when my gf logs in its japanese
[02:44] <Pelo> gogeta, I got a coworker to try gutsy,  I 'm gonna have news about it tomorrow,  he was gonna format his hdd anyway , he had a bunch fo viris the couldn'T get rid of
[02:45] <gogeta> Pelo hehe bet that worked out great
[02:45] <gogeta> Pelo all dead in 1 swoop
[02:45] <Pelo> boontoo,  I think that is default,  meaning  language is part of the user's prefs
[02:45] <boontoo> Pelo ok
[02:46] <Pelo> gogeta, the coworker in question is fairly green,  I hope he can manage it on his own,  but since he's clean installing anyway and using he whole hdd it shouldn'T be too bad
[02:46] <BADKITTY> Hello maytees
[02:47] <_ebirtaid> pelo: is he computer literate at all?
[02:47] <Jeruvy> I moved my hard disk from one system to another.  Everything seems to be working ok, but I'd like to drop the res of the screen to 1024x768, but it doesn't respond.  If I edit the xorg.conf and remove the not wanted display setting and restart X would that fix it?
