[02:10] <kitche> capixaba: how what you just go into that folder in a terminal with cd folder that has driver in it's name
[02:11] <nvez> MagicFab_: Another small tiny thing, I have a Core 2 Duo and it has support for EM64T or w/e, can I use the Ubuntu x64 version and do you suggest it or I am better off with the x32 version?
[02:11] <Jordan_U> juan_: You want a program to automatically display and connect to wireless networks?
[02:11] <dvheumen> kitche: I see some references of ext3_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 77005xx. This is from fsck, isn't it?
[02:11] <Stormx2> puff: Try it.
[02:11] <capixaba> kitche: no.. I did it.. next pass
[02:11] <Stormx2> puff: No. killall gnome-panel
[02:11] <juan_> yes
[02:11] <Jordan_U> !network-manager | juan_
[02:11] <ubotu> juan_: networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager
[02:11] <BackPacker> n2diy: When they first try Linux some people re-format at the first sign of trouble.  When they get a little more experience, they reinstall. After a year or so they just grep through the logs...
[02:11] <kitche> dvheumen: most likely
[02:11] <Heed> Oh.. hmm.. is there anyway to manually choose a mirror?
[02:11] <riotkittie> network manager rules
[02:11] <MagicFab_> I just finished reviewing and proofreading the docs at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/QemuEmulator
[02:12] <kitche> capixaba: do you see any bcm*.inf files the star is just a wild card
[02:12] <riotkittie> although i have not actually tested it yet. been wired all day.
[02:12] <riotkittie> but it looks cool :P
[02:12] <capixaba> kitche: yeah.. I see it... bcmwl5.inf  or bcmwl5a.inf
[02:13] <MagicFab_> nvez, you'll have to hack a bit more to get support for stuff like flash, it's up to you. I would start with 32bit and in a couple of Ubuntu releases perhaps 64bit plugins/codecs etc will have better support
[02:13] <n2diy> BackPacker: Ok, I'm going to get booted off my ISP in seven minutes, so I'm just going to log off now, reset the connection, and then I'm good for another eight hours. I'll be back in a couple of minutes.
[02:13] <capixaba> kitche: and now?
[02:13] <Jordan_U> Heed: System -> Administration -> Software Sources Try the U.S. mirror if you live in the states
[02:13] <BackPacker> n2diy: OK
[02:13] <Heed> Ok, I'll give it a try
[02:13] <kitche> capixaba: ok you need to sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5a.inf then do ndiswrapper -l to see if it says driver present and hardware present
[02:13] <nvez> MagicFab_: I guess it's like Windows x64, same performence and less compatibility. :p
[02:14] <Heed> Well, it was already on the US mirror, switching it to the 'main server' seems to have fixed it..
[02:14] <capixaba> kitche: Installed ndis drivers:
[02:14] <capixaba> bcmwl5a         driver present, hardware present
[02:14] <capixaba> kitche: and now man?
[02:14] <jakob> n2diy was it you who knew a program that would monitor make installs?
[02:15] <kitche> capixaba: ok your hard ware is now setup
[02:15] <MagicFab_> nvez, when practicing with qemu, read about LVM and do your tests there. Search "Ubuntu LVM" in Google, I didn't find any good beginner's guide on the wiki
[02:15] <MagicFab_> Also check the forums
[02:15] <break_> is there a program like gmail notifier for linux??
[02:15] <MagicFab_> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=141900
[02:15] <capixaba> kitche: how can I test it?
[02:15] <nvez> Yeah, I'm checking out the forums
[02:15] <n2diy> jakob: no sorry.
[02:15] <kitche> capixaba: you can do sudo iwlist scan see if it finds any ap near you
[02:15] <coulix> hello guys i am trying to make the edgy cd on a usb stick to install edgy on 965 intel chipset, i followed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent but when it start on the comp it wroter "A] ]  weird chars for 1 line and stop"
[02:16] <BackPacker> n2diy: Still no sign of Wakeskat
[02:16] <Jordan_U> break_: Yes, I believe gmail notifier itself is available for Linux also
[02:16] <MagicFab_> nvez: compatibility is much better than Winx64 actually. Comparatively, most of the hardware tha has open/free drivers in 32bit linux will work in 64bit linux. Windows has to rely on its manugfacturers' drivers to do that
[02:16] <capixaba> kitche: I got a problem...
[02:16] <capixaba> kitche: look this msg
[02:16] <n2diy> BackPacker: maybe he is re-installing?
[02:16] <capixaba> kitche: lo        Interface doesn't support scanning.
[02:16] <capixaba> eth0      Interface doesn't support scanning.
[02:16] <capixaba> eth1      Interface doesn't support scanning : No such device
[02:16] <capixaba> sit0      Interface doesn't support scanning.

[02:17] <Jordan_U> capixaba: Ubotu is a bot :)
[02:17] <kitche> capixaba: hmm you might have to sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

[02:19] <capixaba> kitche: what can i do now? no work...
[02:19] <Jordan_U> noelferreira: I think you posted in the wrong channel :)
[02:19] <riotkittie> do i want to install Edgy?
[02:19] <pagefault_> sure
[02:19] <dm> Which ones better cpufreqd + ACPI or powernowd?
[02:20] <capixaba> Jordan_U: I think too about noel ferreira
[02:20] <noelferreira> no i didn't Jordan_U? i can't find it anywhere
[02:20] <pagefault_> dunno
[02:20] <capixaba> kitche: ?
[02:20] <pagefault_> powernowd works good on my core 2
[02:20] <kitche> capixaba: your missing the ndiswrapper module
[02:20] <capixaba> kitche: what must I do then?
[02:20] <pagefault_> yeah
[02:20] <pagefault_> hmm
[02:20] <noelferreira> Jordan_U: Do you know any better place?
[02:20] <pagefault_> I use
[02:21] <capixaba> noelferreira: #subtitles
[02:21] <pagefault_> hmm
[02:21] <pagefault_> powernowd works good on my core 2
[02:21] <kitche> capixaba: install ndiswrapper-common
[02:21] <pagefault_> what cpu you got
[02:21] <pagefault_> I think they basically are all the same in terms of stepping support
[02:21] <pagefault_> powernowd works on pretty much everything afaict
[02:21] <pagefault_> but
[02:21] <capixaba> kitche: my source.list doesnt have hte url to ndiswrapper-common in the apt-get install do u have?
[02:21] <noelferreira> really capixaba is that a place like that
[02:21] <pagefault_> powernowd works good on my core 2
[02:21] <Jordan_U> noelferreira: This is a support channel, #ubuntu-offtopic maybe, but not likely there either :(
[02:21] <noelferreira> awesome
[02:22] <noelferreira> lol
[02:22] <capixaba> kitche: or .. how can i do with tgz?
[02:22] <noelferreira> but people in here used to have almost everything jordan
[02:22] <pagefault_> on notebooks it works well with my core duo as well
[02:22] <pagefault_> powernowd works good on my core 2

[02:24] <kitche> capixaba: hang on a second let me figure out what repo it's in
[02:24] <puff> Stormx2: Hm, killed metacity, it restarted itself, was unfrozen for 5-10 seconds then froze  up again.
[02:24] <capixaba> kitche: please
[02:24] <puff> Stormx2: killed gnome-panel, it restarted itself, same behavior.
[02:24] <Stormx2> puff: Wow... something is screwing with metacity...
[02:24] <Stormx2> eek.

[02:25] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> I have a problem with VSFTPD when I try to connect with CuteFTP-pro. When I try to connect it says Can't read from control socket. Socket error = #10054 but right before I rebooted my box I could connect it it perfect.
[02:25] <puff> Stormx2: Just for good measure, I killed my large swiftfox process and left it dead, in case the memory it was consuming was a factor.  Shouldn't be, i have 2GB on this machine, but.
[02:25] <puff> So any last words before I ctrl-alt-backspace?
[02:25] <kitche> capixaba: just sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common and it should install it after asking if you want to install it
[02:25] <ozgurk> capixaba, nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:25] <capixaba> kitche: but my aot-get doesnt have it....

[02:31] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> ozgurk thank you so much. I have asked so many questions in here the past couple days and you are the first one to ever answer
[02:31] <kuzmaster> under networking, my wireless card shows up as wlan0 and wmaster, not ra0 like most people/docs have listed/said
[02:31] <capixaba> ozgurk: I dont know... how can I know? where can i look the ubuntu version?

[02:32] <mooey> kuzmaster, i cant tell you how to make your wireless card work but its not a problem that its called wlan0. wlan0 is a standard name, ra0 is just what the ralink drivers call the interface.

[02:33] <mooey> kuzmaster, you can rename it from wlan0 to ra0 in /etc/iftab but it won't make any odds
[02:33] <ozgurk> asdfjkahsdfjkha, rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[02:33] <kuzmaster> mooey: i was figuring that that wasnt a problem..... i thought i was somthing that i should note it maybe.....
[02:33] <kuzmaster> mooey: ill try that
[02:33] <mooey> kuzmaster, whats the problem with your wifi?
[02:33] <capixaba> ozgurk: thanks a lot... I will paste in my sources.list
[02:33] <kuzmaster> mooey: it just dosnt work
[02:34] <ozgurk> capixaba, ok
[02:34] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> ozgurk CAnnot remove read only file system
[02:34] <kuzmaster> mooey: dosnt work full stop
[02:34] <mooey> kuzmaster, if you see wlan0 thats a good start :-) when you say doesn't work, does it list any networks?
[02:34] <ozgurk> asdfjkahsdfjkha,
[02:34] <MagicFab_> nvez, yes , always backup first
[02:34] <kuzmaster> mooey: well, where should it be listing networks?
[02:34] <MagicFab_> nvez, I've done several dozen partition resizings/ installs with U. w/o problem
[02:35] <mooey> kuzmaster, enter: 'iwlist wlan0 scanning' into a console
[02:35] <kitche> kuzmaster: sudo iwlist scan should tell you if ther is any AP near you
[02:35] <mooey> kuzmaster, that will list the networks it knows

[02:37] <CanadianMan> i have a question should i jsut say it or wait?
[02:37] <Lazirusienca> I posted in the forums for help, but I think I screwed myself over

[02:37] <Lazirusienca> anyone know ANYTHING about ATI RADEON 9200???

[02:41] <kuzmaster> mooey: nope, excatly the same, but, like before, there was no delay, like, it diddnt seem to search for any networks
[02:41] <kitche> capixaba: see if you can sudo modprobe ndiswrapper now
[02:41] <mvfeinstein> mooey yes
[02:41] <mooey> mvfeinstein, anything on in your xorg log in /var/log?
[02:41] <peacekpr> mooey, okay... that's what i'm going to do, then - sounds like a plan... thanks for the suggestion ... i was searching sourceforge for projects, but i guess my search keywords weren't the greatest
[02:41] <Lazirusienca> Hey guys if it says I can't copy somethying somewhere becuase I dont have the permission to do so. what do I do?
[02:41] <ozgurk> hmm capixaba
[02:41] <BackPacker> CanadianMan: It's a good way to see what's open. And it also shows what's listening on those ports. When you know that you can decide what, if anything, to firewall off
[02:41] <ozgurk> please..
[02:42] <jakob> I got lirc working backpacker :D
[02:42] <mooey> kuzmaster, wierd. have you done a sudo ifup wlan0 ?
[02:42] <Jordan_U> !sudo | Lazirusienca
[02:42] <ubotu> Lazirusienca: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[02:42] <capixaba> kitche: this msg appear again man: FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.15-23-386/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko': No such file or directory
[02:42] <n2diy> CandianMan: that is your loopback device, it doesn't talk to the outside world, but the system does need it,
[02:42] <BackPacker> jakob: Great! Glad to hear it. :-)
[02:42] <peacekpr> away i go...
[02:42] <petal> mvfeinstein: good. now open your xorg.conf (etc/X11/xorg.conf) and look for the section "Device"...It should say something about ATI... (if you have a ati card, that is...)
[02:42] <Dexter_> witam
[02:42] <capixaba> kitche: whats happening?
[02:42] <petal> mvfeinstein: In this section "Device" the second line should be 'driver'
[02:42] <jakob> backpacker, all I had to do was make a shortcut to /dev/ttyS0 and rename it /dev/lirc
[02:43] <kuzmaster> yeah
[02:43] <petal> mvfeinstein: Is the 'driver' set to 'fglrx' there?
[02:43] <Dimensions> does any one know abt vendor of  this Wlan USB ... UID is 18e8:6201
[02:43] <jakob> backpacker, do you know I make a shortcut in the console?
[02:43] <BackPacker> jakob: Hmmm.... Wonder why an IRC client needs a serial port...
[02:43] <linux_newbie2> if I want to create a RAID 1 setup on Ubuntu, and I want to share it under SAMBA, does it matter which filesystem I use on the drives?
[02:43] <Amadeo> So, I've read a few forum pages...edited my xorg.conf a bunch of times...the resolution shows up now, but my refresh rate just won't change...not really sure what to do at this point anymore
[02:43] <BackPacker> jakob: a shortcut to what?
[02:43] <kuzmaster> mooey: but when i did it again, it said this "wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801"
[02:43] <jakob> backpacker, lirc is a program for infra red remote controls :P
[02:43] <mooey> Dimensions, you can look up the device on www.pcidatabase.com
[02:44] <mvfeinstein> mooey there is a lot anything i am looking for?
[02:44] <BackPacker> jakob: oh, OK, the 'irc' part is a little misleading
[02:44] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> Can anyone help me uninstall VSFTPD. When I do apt-get remove --purge vsftpd I get some errors.
[02:44] <mvfeinstein> petal the driver is already set to fglrx
[02:44] <mooey> kuzmaster, thats wierd. the forum is a great resource for solving issues with wifi devices, deffinatly worth a search there if you haven't already.
[02:44] <capixaba> kitche: ?
[02:44] <jakob> backpacker, the lirc file lircd was looking for was nothing but a shortcut to ttyS0. Do you know how I can make a shortcut in the console?
[02:44] <Jordan_U> Lazirusienca: Basically, run: gksudo nautilus to get a file browser window with privaleges to write to anywhere, but close it as soon as you are done because being able to delete anything on your system isn't always a good thing :) or use the mv or cp commands with "sudo " in front of them
[02:44] <BackPacker> jakob: To make a 'shortcut' or symlink as Linux calls them, you use the ln command. Do 'man ln' in a console for mor information
[02:44] <kaozinc> can someone tell me where all the files are stored that synaptic dloads?
[02:45] <mooey> mvfeinstein, something that starts EE and looks relevant i guess, you could pastebin the log?
[02:45] <mooey> !pastebin > mvfeinstein
[02:45] <jakob> backpacker, thanks, your help has really been great :)
[02:45] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> Can anyone help me uninstall VSFTPD. When I do apt-get remove --purge vsftpd I get some errors. I am running ubuntu server.

[02:47] <Dimensions> mooey:  im lookin for usb devices the one u are saying are for PCI slots ?
[02:47] <BackPacker> sandy16: You need to set your prompt. You can set it up in ~/.bashrc
[02:47] <Jordan_U> petal: Go to System -> Preferences -> Screensaver and uncheck the box that says " lock when screensaver is active"
[02:47] <mooey> sandy16, check your permissions on ~/.bashrc

[02:50] <linux_newbie2> can anyone recommend a graphical partition manager?  The "Disks" window doesn't seem to let you create new partitions...
[02:50] <Jordan_U> sandy16: are You using Bash or another shell? ( sh in Edgy is NOT bash )

[02:51] <petal> mvfeinstein: Do you still have that xorg.conf file open?
[02:51] <mvfeinstein> petal I know that driver is working because I am getting res above 1024x768 but before I did the install direct render was on and now it is off for some reason
[02:51] <mvfeinstein> petal yes
[02:51] <sandy16> mooey, BackPacker i have .bashrc as 755 , eventhough it is not working
[02:51] <sandy16> ??
[02:51] <mdfrostt> all: just installed boinc 5.8.1 into /usr/BOINC and have an interesting problem.  if I run the program by typing "./boincmgr" from the /usr/BOINC directory, it connects to localhost and everything works well; however, if I type "/usr/BOINC/boincmgr" it won't connect to my machine.  any ideas?
[02:51] <Jordan_U> mvfeinstein: Edgy or Dapper?
[02:51] <petal> mvfeinstein: Scroll down to its ending
[02:51] <mvfeinstein> Jordan_U Edgy
[02:52] <mooey> mvfeinstein, wierd. no errors. still glxinfo says direct rendering: no ?
[02:52] <BackPacker> sandy16: mine's 644
[02:52] <petal> mvfeinstein: Is there something like " Option "Composite" "false" "
[02:52] <n2diy> sandy16: why do you say it isn't working?
[02:52] <Jordan_U> mvfeinstein: You need to disable composit most likely
[02:52] <ozgurk> capixaba, what is compile ?
[02:52] <BackPacker> sandy16: it doesn't need the x bits set
[02:52] <petal> mvfeinstein: If not, try to add the following line(s) to your xorg.conf at its end:
[02:52] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, wierd. perhaps the lock file has not been removed or something. im not sure how to check though, sorry.
[02:52] <Lazirusienca> whoot! yay
[02:52] <di||itante> mdfrostt, add /usr/BOINC/ to your path
[02:52] <Lazirusienca> games working now
[02:53] <petal> mvfeinstein: Section "Extensions"
[02:53] <Lazirusienca> Anyone play planeshift?
[02:53] <petal> mvfeinstein: Option "Composite" "false"
[02:53] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, try removing /var/lib/dpkg/lock or something
[02:53] <mvfeinstein> mooey the only error I saw was about aiglx. Direct render still says no and I just noticed this Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[02:53] <sandy16> and also when i use arrows (up/down) for history , iam getting this :  $ ^[[A^[[A^[[B
[02:53] <petal> mvfeinstein: EndSection
[02:53] <di||itante> mdfrostt, doh, nevermind
[02:53] <mvfeinstein> petal no
[02:53] <capixaba> ozgurk: compile?
[02:53] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, it tells me its a read only system file
[02:53] <ozgurk> locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: file or directory not found
[02:53] <Lazirusienca> ANywho im gonna go, thanks for the help.
[02:53] <petal> mvfeinstein: Then put the three lines that I just posted there
[02:53] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, are you /sure/ you are root?
[02:53] <ozgurk> where error message?
[02:53] <petal> mvfeinstein: And restart your X-Server
[02:54] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, just logged in as root and tried it and says the same thing
[02:54] <mooey> mvfeinstein, i've had that before. there was a solution burried in the forums. i think it had todo with having the right settings in xorg.conf as petal was saying.
[02:54] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, can you write any files on the filesystem?
[02:54] <petal> the fglrx-driver has some problems in edgy
[02:54] <Jordan_U> asdfjkahsdfjkha: What problem are you having? ( it is hard to follow things right now :)
[02:54] <mooey> Jordan_U, apt whines when trying to remove the package vsftpd
[02:54] <kaozinc> Jordan_U can i PM you we were talking the other nite about an ati vid card... my nick at the time was kaoz
[02:55] <capixaba> ozgurk: i didnt understand
[02:55] <ozgurk> capixaba, where issue error message?
[02:55] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, no I cannot
[02:55] <mvfeinstein> petal mooey ok I just added those lines going to reboot brb
[02:55] <mdfrostt> di||itante: hadn't considered that (especially because I haven't a clue how to change the search path in linux).  since you said "nevermind" later, should I take it that that wouldn't work anyway?
[02:55] <bryanl> the ubuntu mirrors are way slower than i remember... any way i can speed up apt-get updates?
[02:55] <Caranarq> now, how do I intall Samba???????
[02:55] <petal> mvfeinstein: Good luck
[02:55] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, even in your home directory?
[02:55] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> jordan_u, vsftpd stopped working after I rebooted. I tried googling for 30 mintues hwo to fix it with the errors I was getting. Then I just decided to remove it, and it isnt working
[02:55] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, yes
[02:55] <Jordan_U> kaozinc: Sure, I have to allow unregged users to pm me first though so wait a second ( By default I don't see messages from unregged users )
[02:55] <cybercod> caranqrq... synaptic package manager has it... smb
[02:55] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, either you are not root or your file system is mounted read only
[02:56] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, root@hlds:
[02:56] <di||itante> mdfrostt, right
[02:56] <capixaba> ozgurk: yeah
[02:56] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, did you mount the fs as readonly ? if not, check the logs (dmesg) as it may have had an error and remounted itself read only to protect it
[02:56] <mdfrostt> di||itante: nuts.  any other ideas?
[02:56] <amir> !rpm
[02:56] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[02:56] <Caranarq> i don't have the synaptic PM... not under system>administration
[02:57] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, All I did was reboot man, it was working PERFECT before that...
[02:57] <capixaba> ozgurk: in the first apt-get and second to
[02:57] <capixaba> too
[02:57] <aivijay> hello
[02:57] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, :( check the logs
[02:57] <di||itante> mdfrostt, no, seems strange. did you have another version running at some other time
[02:58] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, I just typed dmesg and it has all these device lookup failed lines but I cannot scroll up since im on text based
[02:58] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, use less. type into a console: dmesg | less
[02:58] <mooey> and then you can page up and down
[02:58] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> dmesg | less
[02:58] <mooey> yea
[02:59] <mdfrostt> di||itante: yes, I had the fully supported version 5.4.11, but I needed the advanced functionality provided in the 5.8.1 beta version.  I thought I completely removed any remnants of the old version, though.
[02:59] <jewbilee> How do i find out what wireless card i have?
[02:59] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, am I looking for anything in particular?
[02:59] <mooey> jewbilee, lspci
[02:59] <bef_ubuntu> command for changing apt sources ?
[03:00] <di||itante> mdfrostt, im guessing there is something left somewhere from the old version. possible a hidden dir in your home dir
[03:00] <mooey> !sources | bef_ubuntu
[03:00] <ubotu> bef_ubuntu: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[03:00] <Caranarq> hmmm ... how can I know if I have administrative acces???
[03:00] <cybercod> caranarq.. you still need help with samba?
[03:00] <Caranarq> yeah ...
[03:00] <ozgurk> capixaba, past your locale command
[03:00] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, just something that says the file system was mounted readonly. thats assuming its not set to be read only in /etc/fstab ?
[03:00] <Caranarq> I can't install it
[03:00] <cybercod> caranarq     http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605&highlight=howto+samba   that got me going
[03:01] <mooey> Caranarq, in the console if your prompt ends in $ you are a user. if it ends with # you are root (admin) user. you can use sudo to run root commands as a $ user
[03:01] <jewbilee> mooey: If it says I have a broadcom BCM4306, which driver do i need for ndiswrapper?
[03:01] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, in fstab it says errors=remount-ro
[03:01] <cybercod> jewbilee... try driverguide.com for drivers
[03:02] <jewbilee> ok
[03:02] <mooey> jewbilee, i think there are native drivers for that chipset?
[03:02] <n2diy> BackPacker: he ought to be done soon, it has been nearly an hour.
[03:02] <petal> mvfeinstein: Had any luck?
[03:02] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, so when you write or save a file, what does it say? can't write to read only file system?
[03:02] <mdfrostt> di||itante: home is clear.  the thing that really confuses me is that both commands SHOULD be running the exact same file.  one uses the fully path, and the other runs the program in the current directory, which is /usr/BOINC.
[03:02] <cybercod> there are for broadcom... they don't "just work" though
[03:02] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey yez
[03:02] <mvfeinstein> petal yes it worked thanks for the help.... Now I just have to decide if I want to try to install beryl again..
[03:02] <cybercod> often its easier to disable them and use ndiswrapper
[03:03] <jewbilee> mooey: what do you mean?
[03:03] <jewbilee> mooey: do i still ned ndiswrapper?
[03:03] <cybercod> i've had to deal with broadcom on two laptops
[03:03] <di||itante> mdfrostt, yeah, its wierd
[03:03] <BackPacker> n2diy: I can't wait any longer, it's 2am here...  Glad I could help... Beryl is cool - give it a try! Feels like a whole new OS! :)
[03:03] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, no the box is sitting next to me

[03:04] <jewbilee> hmmm
[03:04] <mvfeinstein> petal I tried to install it yesterday and messed up my system so much that I reinstalled.... Would you happen to know where I can find a good how for ati+edgy+beryl? Or an easy way to do it?
[03:05] <mooey> mvfeinstein, theres some good guides for ati on the ubuntu forums, and for beryl on the beryl forums

[03:07] <mooey> mvfeinstein, i found it easier to install the drivers from ati.com than the ubuntu packaged ones. there is also a repository which has easy install and up to date ati drivers but i dont remember its name, sorry
[03:07] <ozgurk> your install module-assistant ?
[03:07] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, then im out of ideas, sorry. it certainly sounds like your file system is broken :(
[03:07] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, that at least is the root cause of not being able to remove vsftpd, heh.
[03:08] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, well shit.. is there any way I can retrieve some files I have stored on here before I reformat?
[03:08] <capixaba> ozgurk: I typed it... and choose(choise)  ipw2200... and after... I tried install...then... this msg appear in my terminal
[03:08] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, if you can read them thats great, you can blip them over the network with scp if you have ssh access to the machine
[03:08] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, I dont think I ever setup ssh, or do you haft to?
[03:09] <petal> mvfeinstein: Btw, no matter what you do with Beryl... You SHOULD always have the possibility to go back to your GDM Login screen and chose a normal Gnome session there...
[03:09] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, ah. you have to install the openssh-server package :(
[03:09] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, hm. usb stick?
[03:09] <petal> mvfeinstein: I'm off now - Good luck with your 3d-Acc.!
[03:10] <mvfeinstein> petal thanks for the help
[03:10] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, OOOOO I have one!!!! Do I have to manually mount it?
[03:10] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, does it appear in /media when you plug it in? :}
[03:11] <riotkittie> hm. i feel the need to learn how to do something but i dont know what
[03:11] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, all I see is cdrom cdrom0 floppy floppy0
[03:11] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, then yea you will have to mount it manually :~~)
[03:12] <n2diy> riotkittie: teach me how to change keyboard layouts in a console?
[03:12] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, how would I go about that?
[03:12] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, the last dmesg output when you plugged it in should lead you to the device name (something like /dev/sdb1 or simmilar) then you can mkdir /media/usbstick; mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/usbstick
[03:13] <mooey> the exact command depends on the device and the file system its formatted with
[03:13] <riotkittie> n2diy >> sudo loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/<dir>/<dir> for a temporary change
[03:13] <riotkittie> uhmmmm i forgot how i made mine permanent
[03:14] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> I see like scsi device sda
[03:14] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> ;
[03:14] <n2diy> riotkittie: hmmm, I've been looking for that for six years, I'll take a look. Thanks.
[03:14] <mooey> riotkittie, you could learn how to turn water into wine :~)
[03:14] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, thats probably it
[03:14] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, the usb mass storage device driver uses the scsi subsystem
[03:15] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> by the way I cant create the folder
[03:15] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> its read only
[03:15] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> remember
[03:15] <mooey> heh yer
[03:15] <riotkittie> maybe it was sudo dpkg-reconfigure xkeyboard-reconfigure    . hm.
[03:16] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, do I haft to make the folder for me to mount it?
[03:16] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, mount it in /mount/floppy0 :}
[03:16] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, if you can make a folder in /tmp, do it therr
[03:16] <mooey> *there
[03:16] <riotkittie> mooey >> already know how to turn water into wine
[03:16] <mooey> */media/floppy0
[03:17] <n2diy> riotkittie: I'm on the loadkeys man page, this is what I'm looking for. I Know how to do it with X running, but not from a CLI.
[03:17] <mooey> riotkittie, lol. something more challenging then. wine to vodka? :}
[03:17] <NoEvidenZ> Ok, I feel like a complete moron asking this, but through the terminal, how do I make it delete a folder and everything in it?
[03:17] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, omg I am so confized
[03:17] <cybercod> isn't there a way to burn from CLI?  perhaps you could just burn a disk
[03:17] <mooey> NoEvidenZ, rm -rf will remove everything. its best to remove everything in a folder and then rmdir the folder so that you don't delete something you didn't want to delete
[03:17] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, hold on like 2 minutes ill brb I need to go outside for a second
[03:17] <n2diy> add grapes!
[03:18] <linuxgoober> NoEvidenZ rm -R /path/to/directory
[03:18] <mooey> NoEvidenZ, we are friendly :~) never be embarrased to ask. we all have to learn
[03:18] <riotkittie> n2diy >> yeah but there's something else that will make the change permanent. if i recall correctly loadkeys only works until you log out and then it resets
[03:18] <awenasidilisome> hey all
[03:18] <ryanakca> mako: ping
[03:18] <riotkittie> it's probably in the man
[03:18] <NoEvidenZ> linuxgoober: Thanks :P
[03:18] <linuxgoober> thats what we're all here for
[03:18] <riotkittie> i rarely read them <hangs head in shame>
[03:18] <NoEvidenZ> mooey: Thanks. It's not that I'm embarassed, it's that I should know. >.>
[03:18] <mooey> NoEvidenZ, :~)
[03:19] <n2diy> riotkittie: No, no, this fine, I don't want permanent change.
[03:19] <riotkittie> n2diy, ah ok then :)
[03:19] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, gone for a cigarette break? :p
[03:20] <n2diy> riotkittie: I'm toying with the idea of a terminal kiosk, and a script to let users select there keyboard, so this is perfect.
[03:20] <NoEvidenZ> Some days I'm all "I'm awesome! I'm learning Linux!" and others I'm like "It's all too hard!"
[03:20] <riotkittie> ahhh that's cool, n2diy
[03:20] <mooey> NoEvidenZ, it is certainly worth the effort to learn
[03:20] <linuxgoober> yeah... i feel the pain NoEvidenZ
[03:20] <riotkittie> NoEvidenZ, meee too
[03:20] <adub> anyone get monitor mode to work with atheros wireless cards ??
[03:21] <NoEvidenZ> Heh, I know it's worth learning, that's why I haven't given up yet.
[03:21] <mooey> good on ya :~~)
[03:21] <riotkittie> i started with slackware 9. then moved in with my husband and was forced to go back to xp.
[03:21] <mooey> divorce tbh >_>
[03:21] <riotkittie> hahahahaha
[03:21] <mooey> :)
[03:21] <aivijay_> guys am trying to setup wireless network in adhoc mode to make a peer to peer connection with my other laptop
[03:21] <NoEvidenZ> riotkittie: Girls learning computers?! What next? We'll let them VOTE?! *smirks*
[03:22] <NoEvidenZ> riotkittie: Ignore me, I'm a bad person.
[03:22] <aivijay_> can i get some doc which can help me out on this
[03:22] <riotkittie> hahaha. i like bad people. they tend to be more fun than the "good" ones ;)
[03:22] <biggahed_> i miss my slack.   Not too bad, but now I need to get my video driver installed for my Geforce4 MX, since right now I'm limited to 640x480 resolution.
[03:22] <mooey> aivijay_, the forums are a great place to find instructions. or the ubuntu wiki. or the linux documentation project.
[03:22] <aivijay_> i am able to configure the wireless and am also able to get the list of other wireless networks near
[03:22] <mikedoty> Do I want ... nvidia-glx as my driver?
[03:22] <NoEvidenZ> aivijay_: I can't offer you docs, but I can offer you my best wishes.
[03:22] <CDION> hola alguien habla espaol??
[03:22] <aivijay_> but i dont know how to use it and start communicating
[03:22] <mikedoty> That is what I installed, but I still can't access 1024x768
[03:23] <merolhack> hola
[03:23] <NoEvidenZ> Oh, while I'm in here.. My xserver keeps crashing on start up.
[03:23] <CanadianMan> how do i mount a device at boot up
[03:23] <n2diy> ! es
[03:23] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendrn mas ayuda.
[03:23] <merolhack> yo hablo spanglish
[03:23] <riotkittie> i really wanted to install slack but when i finally got my own computer, i had no discs to burn it too. and then i was like "ahhhh, i am too stupid!"
[03:23] <mooey> CDION, #ubuntu-es
[03:23] <mooey> CanadianMan, with /etc/fstab
[03:23] <mooey> !fstab
[03:23] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[03:23] <cybercod> mikedoty... have you heard of envy?
[03:23] <CanadianMan> thank you mooey
[03:23] <NoEvidenZ> Actually, I'll get some information about it dying, then i'll ask for help.
[03:24] <mikedoty> I don't think so cybercod, though maybe I just don't remember it
[03:24] <riotkittie> i installed zenwalk which is slacked based the other day.  apt has ruined me :P
[03:24] <linuxgoober> how do i make a .deb from a .tar.gz source package?
[03:24] <cybercod> mikedoty... its a very awesome script for installing nvidia proprietary drivers
[03:24] <cybercod> debian package
[03:24] <aivijay_> anyone, how do u set up an adhoc net work and communicate to two machines
[03:24] <cybercod> hang on... i'll get you the page
[03:25] <jrib> linuxgoober: to do it the right way, read the tutorial at help.ubuntu.com about packaging.  Or use checkinstall
[03:25] <mikedoty> Oh yeah, now I do vaguely recall that from a couple months ago when i first installed ubuntu
[03:25] <mooey> linuxgoober, checkinstall will do it
[03:25] <jrib> !checkinstall | linuxgoober
[03:25] <ubotu> linuxgoober: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[03:25] <JustNew> Hi. Ive got an external hardrive that Ubuntu has mounted automatically. I'd like to be able to put files onto it but the system says that it is a "read only disk". any ideas?
[03:25] <linuxgoober> can i make a repository on my website for it?
[03:25] <edburns> Hey, this was a really nice install.
[03:25] <edburns> I like Ubuntu so far.
[03:25] <biggahed_> i only tried ubuntu because its a polished apt using distro. I needed to try apt. But now that im using it, i must say its no as amazing as i though
[03:25] <NoEvidenZ> Can anyone tell me how to check system logs so I can get some information about my xserver crashing on start up?
[03:25] <mooey> JustNew, you should make sure that the file system its formatted with is one that ubuntu can read and write to nativly. perhaps its ntfs.
[03:26] <edburns> However, it doesn't come with xemacs pre-installed.
[03:26] <cybercod> mikedoty http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[03:26] <riotkittie> my husband keeps looking at my laptop when im in ubuntu or zen and going "wow, thats cool"  ... but he wont let me touch his desktop ;/
[03:26] <edburns> What's the easiest way to install xemacs on a stock Ubuntu system (6.10)
[03:26] <JustNew> it is ntfs im quite sure
[03:26] <mooey> NoEvidenZ, check Xorg.log in /var/log
[03:26] <NoEvidenZ> mooey: Thanks
[03:26] <riotkittie> i only went with ubuntu because ship-it sent me discs  ;p
[03:26] <jrib> edburns: sudo apt-get install xemacs21
[03:26] <n2diy> edburns: welcome aboard, click on system/admin/synaptic, and go get Xemacs.
[03:26] <NoEvidenZ> riotkittie: You using Edgy?
[03:26] <riotkittie> NoEvidenZ >> nope, i'm using Dapper
[03:26] <edburns> Ahhh, ubuntu use apt-get.
[03:26] <NoEvidenZ> riotkittie: Aw. I was gonna suggest you get Beryl.
[03:27] <n2diy> riotkittie:  is a smart kittie.
[03:27] <NoEvidenZ> Hell, I'm using Feisty.
[03:27] <JustNew> mooney: yes, my hardrive is NTFS, but so are my windows partitions
[03:27] <jrib> edburns: yeah, you can use synaptic too like n2diy suggested if you want a gui
[03:27] <cybercod> i tend to wait for you gurus to work out the bugs
[03:27] <cybercod> leading edge = bug infested
[03:27] <riotkittie> i am going to repartition  and i might put Edgy on then, once my 2k partition is gone
[03:27] <mooey> JustNew, there is experimental write support for ntfs
[03:27] <mooey> !ntfs-3g | JustNew
[03:27] <ubotu> JustNew: ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[03:27] <JustNew> ok col
[03:27] <linuxgoober> leading edge linux is less bug infested than windows xp with all the updates
[03:28] <JustNew> thanks
[03:28] <NoEvidenZ> Haha
[03:28] <covOPprometheus> hey guys, can anyone name me one simple to use video converter with a GUI for ubuntu/gnome ?
[03:28] <n2diy> cybercod: leading edge = bleeding edge, and I don't like bleeding.
[03:28] <cybercod> agreed linuxgoober... thats why I'm still using xp SP1
[03:28] <awenasidilisome> anyone know what program i would need to edit stuff on a cellphone so that i can have my own start up sound
[03:28] <awenasidilisome> ?
[03:28] <NoEvidenZ> I'm using Feisty because GAIM in Dapper kept crashing and Edgy wouldn't boot on my system.
[03:28] <fami_> moto4lin
[03:28] <simulacra> Anyone have any good suggestions for a FOSS disk image distribution system?
[03:28] <NoEvidenZ> And I wanted Beryl.
[03:28] <cybercod> i don't trust anything from MS unless its been out for 3 years
[03:28] <riotkittie> i  never really had probs with xp.
[03:28] <mooey> simulacra, can you expand a bit?
[03:28] <linuxgoober> i don't trust ms
[03:28] <linuxgoober> period
[03:28] <simulacra> sure
[03:29] <want2ubunt2> Noobie Question: Can you tell the installer in 6.06 where to install GRUB?
[03:29] <edburns> n2diy: When I do that, and search for "xemacs" I only see 4 packages in the upper right pane, and none of them are xemacs
[03:29] <Jordan_U> NoEvidenZ: Are you useing Edgy and what type of card do you have?
[03:29] <simulacra> an alternative to Norton Ghoist is the best way to describe it
[03:29] <biggahed_> well i got some crashing problems with *buntu... xubuntu, that is. The screensaver just makes me restart my box. Cool, huh?
[03:29] <aivijay_> anyone who can tell me how i use a adhoc wireless network and connect to it and make both the machines communicate
[03:29] <cybercod> only problems I've ever had were usually self inflicted, but I tend to think I'd have more of them if I kept it up to date
[03:29] <NoEvidenZ> Jordan_U: Not using Edgy.
[03:29] <edburns> n2diy: Is there some way to make it display non installed packages?
[03:29] <cybercod> I was driven to linux by my inherent distrust of M$
[03:30] <NoEvidenZ> Jordan_U: I'm using Feisty Fawn and what type of card doy ou mean?
[03:30] <n2diy> edburns: what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[03:30] <riotkittie> yeah, xp updates wreak serious havoc on a box
[03:30] <cybercod> thats always first step... disabling them
[03:30] <edburns> n2diy: I just installed the very latest (6.10)
[03:30] <edburns> Maybe that's called Edgy?
[03:30] <edburns> Not sure
[03:30] <riotkittie> my husbands up to date 2.8ghz p4\512mb ram loads xp three times slower than my 750mhz laptop does
[03:30] <cybercod> has gnome gui changed much from dapper to edgy?
[03:31] <NoEvidenZ> Windows update turned my copied xp into legit XP.
[03:31] <riotkittie> err loaded.
[03:31] <n2diy> edburns: ok, I don't know if this will work for you, but is there an advanced tap you can select?
[03:31] <Jordan_U> want2ubunt2: You can with Edgy, if you can't in dapper it is always possible from the termial
[03:31] <Jordan_U> *terminal
[03:31] <awenasidilisome> fami_ moto4lin...what?
[03:31] <craig-griffis_> what repo can I get rar from ?
[03:31] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, ok im back
[03:31] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, howdy
[03:32] <cybercod> craig-griffis... automatix2 can give you rar support (and a bunch of other stuff
[03:32] <covOPprometheus> hey guys, can anyone name me one simple to use video converter with a GUI for ubuntu/gnome ?
[03:32] <mooey> simulacra, hm. im not sure to be honest, its not something i've ever looked for. freshmeat.net might be a good place to start a hunt for it though. im sure such a tool exists.
[03:32] <craig-griffis_> Yeah a bunch of other stuff I don't want
[03:32] <fami_> awenasidilisome, moto4lin is a good program to edit your cellphone
[03:32] <jrib> !info rar | craig-griffis_

[03:32] <jrib> craig-griffis_: multiverse it seems
[03:32] <riotkittie> covOPprometheus, whats the fun in simple to use? :P
[03:32] <simulacra> thank mooey
[03:32] <fami_> awenasidilisome, check the forums for some FAQs on how to use it. I know that you have to run it as root for it to work properly
[03:32] <cybercod> cov0   you wanna do dvd's?
[03:32] <awenasidilisome> fami_ oh i'm at a site that supposedly has it but i'm not sure what computer to put it on
[03:32] <jakob> what is the equivalent of autoexec.bat in ubuntu?

[03:33] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, :P ok you want me to type like "sudo mkdir */media/floppy0; mount -t vfat /dev/sda */media/floppy0 " ?
[03:33] <Aggort> Does anyone in here know why Windows would need the Windows Install CD to be in the CD drive to boot, though it doesn't actually boot the CD?
[03:33] <fami_> awenasidilisome, what do you mean?
[03:33] <Gartral> !rar
[03:33] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[03:33] <Aggort> I need this error fixed big time
[03:33] <awenasidilisome> fami_ should i run it on ubuntu or kubuntu or maybe the mac
[03:33] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, one step at a time. first see if you can make a folder in /tmp to mount it on
[03:33] <n2diy> edburns: ?
[03:33] <glorinha> ohullllllllllllllllllll
[03:33] <riotkittie> Aggort, > youre not getting some kind of error message with the demand for the disc?
[03:33] <jakob> aggort have you tried fixboot and fixmbr?
[03:33] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, no its read only
[03:34] <fami_> awenasidilisome, I used it on GNOME ubuntu
[03:34] <glorinha> rodrigoooooooooo
[03:34] <Aggort> ritokittoe: No
[03:34] <fami_> awenasidilisome, Kubuntu should have an app called KMobile or something liek that.
[03:34] <glorinha> eta karalhuuuuuuuuuuuu
[03:34] <simulacra> aGGORT, SOUNDS like your BIOS is set boot from the CD only. Start there
[03:34] <Aggort> jakob: No, isn't that under recovery console in windows?
[03:34] <NoEvidenZ> Aggort: Type the first few letters and hit tab.
[03:34] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, I dont have a floopy drive. But it is still in the mount folder
[03:34] <mikedoty> I thought envy had killed my computer
[03:34] <Aggort> simulacra: If I change it to hard drive, nothing boots at all!
[03:34] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, in which case just mount it in /media/floppy0 or something :)
[03:35] <cybercod> mikedoty ???
[03:35] <jakob> aggort, yes it is. I had a similar problem because of grub, fixmbr and fixboot did it for me.
[03:35] <Aggort> NoEvidenZ: What?
[03:35] <simulacra> aha, corrupted MBR
[03:35] <NoEvidenZ> Never mind.
[03:35] <Aggort> Jakob: I can't boot to recovery console!
[03:35] <mikedoty> I ran it in a terminal and chose "install"
[03:35] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, mount -t vfat /dev/??? /media/floppy0
[03:35] <mikedoty> Then it crashed me, and when I tried to reboot it froze to a black screen
[03:35] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, where ??? is the device from dmesg
[03:35] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda
[03:35] <simulacra> You can fix that from recovery consol =, but its been ages since I have done that
[03:35] <Aggort> Jakob: This is happening w/o grub
[03:35] <mikedoty> But now I'm back how it was
[03:35] <craig-griffis_> jrib, Yeah but not 64 bit.  I have multiverse
[03:35] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, i would be surprised if it was sda, but try sda1 or something
[03:35] <awenasidilisome> fami_ i'll try and get it but right now i have to work on this stupid MS 2k pc
[03:35] <jakob> aggort does it give you a reason?
[03:35] <awenasidilisome> fami_ any other programs that might be useful
[03:35] <cybercod> mikedoty  did you follow all the instructions? open up repos?
[03:36] <Aggort> jakob: No
[03:36] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, im assuming that the usb stick has been formatted on another machine? if it was windows it will be vfat
[03:36] <Aggort> Jakob: it just boots to it
[03:36] <Aggort> I am about to make a video showing what it does
[03:36] <jrib> craig-griffis_: correct, there is unrar though if you don't need to create them
[03:36] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, ok I think that worked, is there a way I can zip a while directory and send the output file into /media/floppy0 ?
[03:36] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> whole*
[03:36] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> gzip tar or whatever
[03:37] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, tar -crf /media/floppy0/archive.tar /home/folder (i think)
[03:37] <Aggort> If I could boot to recovery console I wouldn't have any problem
[03:37] <riotkittie> woo. i cant wait to see this video :P
[03:37] <Aggort> Please help as this is also effecting GRUB and my Windows/Ubuntu experience
[03:37] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, you may not specify more than one '-Acdtrux' option.............................................. I am going to kill something
[03:37] <jakob> aggort have you tried a bootdisk? as in floppy.
[03:37] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, you will need to umount /media/floppy0 and then eject /dev/sda before you pull out the usb stick or it might not write the files to it
[03:38] <Aggort> Jakob: I don't have one
[03:38] <craig-griffis_> jrib, I only need it for dvd::rip
[03:38] <jrib> Aggort: try ##windows
[03:38] <Aggort> ?
[03:38] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, check the man page for tar then :~) im not sure of which options to use
[03:38] <awenasidilisome> fami_ moto4lin i just realized is for motorola
[03:38] <awenasidilisome> fami_ i use cingular
[03:38] <cybercod> craig-griffis   i use acidrip
[03:38] <craig-griffis_> jrib, it'll work with out no big
[03:38] <jakob> jrib, does ubuntu have an equivalent of autoexec.bat?
[03:38] <mikedoty> It never gave me instructions, just a menu that I saw
[03:38] <Aggort> jakob: I know I can boot from a floppy though
[03:38] <mikedoty> I have all my repositories (multi/uni) enabled
[03:38] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> cannot create a temp filename read only
[03:38] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> AGH
[03:38] <awenasidilisome> fami_ but maybe kmobile will work with cingular
[03:38] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, perhaps tar -cvf
[03:38] <jrib> jakob: what do you want the alternative to do?
[03:38] <craig-griffis_> cybercod, Acid wont do whole dvd's menu and every thing
[03:39] <edburns> jrib: Package xemacs21 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[03:39] <fami_> awenasidilisome, Try kmobile
[03:39] <cybercod> craig... tru... i don't use that stuff
[03:39] <jakob> jrib, I have a few lines I'd like to have added.
[03:39] <jrib> edburns: you need to enable universe
[03:39] <NoEvidenZ> How do I use the Python scripting interface in xchat? O.o
[03:39] <jrib> !universe | edburns
[03:39] <Aggort> jakob: Where can I get a boot disk? Just look on google?
[03:39] <ubotu> edburns: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[03:39] <cybercod> mikedoty... it died in the middle of it?
[03:39] <Aggort> jakob: what would I need, anything to fix this issue please lol
[03:39] <fami_> awenasidilisome, Look up some SEEM editor FAQs, too. That's how you change a lot of the stuff.
[03:39] <NoEvidenZ> Oh, hang on.. Never mind.
[03:39] <jakob> aggort, yes google bootdisk. That should do it
[03:40] <awenasidilisome> fami_ i will once i get this MS 2k pc fixed
[03:40] <jrib> jakob: do you want thing to run at boot time or can they run as your user when you log in?
[03:40] <jakob> jrib, I'd like this to be added in the boot sudo ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/lirc | sudo lircd
[03:40] <Aggort> Jakob: What should I look for?
[03:40] <craig-griffis_> dvd::rip seems to be the only true dvdshrink like program for Linux, please tell me if I'm wrong.
[03:40] <rbil> jakob: http://customdesign.homelinux.net/nilug/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=48&Itemid=38
[03:40] <awenasidilisome> fami_ SEEM editor?
[03:40] <mooey> craig-griffis_, if it helps - dvdshrink runs pretty well under wine :)
[03:40] <covOPprometheus> riotkittie, hehehe, it's for my father hehehe
[03:40] <covOPprometheus> hey guys, can anyone name me one simple to use video converter with a GUI for ubuntu/gnome ?
[03:40] <NoEvidenZ> I feel terrible.. Been awake for far too long. :P
[03:40] <Aggort> Jakob: What should I look for in a boot disk?
[03:41] <mikedoty> It died right away ... right when I chose to install driver
[03:41] <jakob> aggort, have you got any empty cd's?
[03:41] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> Anyone here know how to tar a whole directory with subdirectories into 1 tar file?! :P
[03:41] <jrib> craig-griffis_: I don't know, but why does dvd::rip even need rar?
[03:41] <Aggort> jakob: 300
[03:41] <craig-griffis_> AHhhhhhhhhhhh    I do not and will not ever understand people who use wine. Sorry Windoze is a pet hate that I wish would vanish from the face of the universe
[03:41] <Pie-rate> How would I turn a .run file into a .deb?
[03:41] <cybercod> Hmmm...  you did this in terminal?  i think thats what happened
[03:41] <mikedoty> I did do it in terminal, yes
[03:41] <toM|vendettA> Pie-rate: try "alien --help"
[03:41] <cybercod> it kills x
[03:41] <mooey> welcome back, kuzmaster
[03:41] <Aggort> jakob: well over 300
[03:41] <jakob> aggort, try looking for recovery cd's then... Brb. phone is ringing
[03:41] <kuzmaster> mooey: thanx
[03:41] <Aggort> jakob: k
[03:42] <kuzmaster> are the ubuntu forums down?
[03:42] <kuzmaster> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/
[03:42] <kitche> Pie-rate: you can't
[03:42] <cybercod> you have to hit CTRL+ALT+F5 and do it in there... it kills X almost immediately
[03:42] <kuzmaster> it keeps comming up with the cpanel page......
[03:42] <mooey> kuzmaster, it loads here
[03:42] <jakob> aggort, I have to go for ten mins, sorry.
[03:42] <Pie-rate> kuzmaster: no.
[03:42] <kuzmaster> same, now
[03:42] <jrib> craig-griffis_: what errors do you get with 'sudo apt-get install dvdrip'?
[03:42] <mooey> @ <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:42] <kuzmaster> its alright for me now
[03:42] <mikedoty> How do I get back to X after X is killed?
[03:42] <cybercod> startx
[03:42] <Aggort> ok
[03:42] <fami_> awenasidilisome, Yeah, for motorla at least I know a lot of the phone config is done via the SEEM
[03:42] <cybercod> after it is done
[03:43] <mooey> mikedoty, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[03:43] <cybercod> actually i think it starts it up automatically
[03:43] <Aggort> Hey anyone else want to help me with thsi odd issue? I really need to get it resolved
[03:43] <Pie-rate> is it possible to switch from gdm to kdm on the fly?
[03:43] <mooey> Pie-rate, sure. stop gdm and start kdm :p
[03:43] <mikedoty> Is it okay to run it from terminal?
[03:43] <mikedoty> Or should I exit x and run it from command line?
[03:43] <cybercod> no... terminal runs under x
[03:43] <rbil> PIe-rate: run kdm in another terminal
[03:44] <mooey> mikedoty, if you are in a terminal in X and then you run it it will kill the terminal
[03:44] <mikedoty> Ok
[03:44] <mikedoty> ctrl alt f5?
[03:44] <cybercod> ctrl + alt +F5.. thats what I read in the instructions
[03:44] <jerp> covOPprometheus, http://www.smorgasbord.net/best_video_converter_windows
[03:44] <awenasidilisome> fami_ anything for cingular that you can recall?
[03:44] <mikedoty> Alright
[03:44] <mooey> mikedoty, its best to press control-alt-f1 and do it in that console
[03:44] <mikedoty> right back
[03:44] <mikedoty> f1/
[03:44] <fami_> awenasidilisome, I've never had a cingular phone :( Only motorola and nokia
[03:44] <mikedoty> F1 or F5?
[03:44] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, ok its taring to the directory1!! :PPPP
[03:44] <mooey> mikedoty, or any of the virtual consoles :~) f5 is fine too
[03:44] <mikedoty> Ok
[03:44] <cybercod> one them anyway... I picked F5 arbitrarily... never knew there was a diff
[03:44] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, wicked :p
[03:44] <mikedoty> :)
[03:44] <mooey> cybercod, they are all the same :) just its helpful to have a few
[03:45] <Pie-rate> is it possible to run another desktop in another tty?
[03:45] <erisco> gaim is crashing EVERY time I talk to Smarter Child (an AI)... and gaim crashes periodically. I was wondering if there are any solutions to this, or if there are OTHER MESSAGING CLIENTS? Thanks.
[03:45] <sam__> How do You install Xubuntu ontop of ubuntu? plz
[03:45] <Aggort> Does anyone in here know why Windows would need the Windows Install CD to be in the CD drive to boot, though it doesn't actually boot the CD?
[03:45] <awenasidilisome> fami_ i only use cingular well this ones a LG so i'm not really sure on anything for it
[03:45] <rbil> Pie-rate: yes
[03:45] <mooey> sam__, apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[03:45] <riotkittie> sam > sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop , i believe
[03:45] <Pie-rate> rbil: how?
[03:45] <cybercod> mooey... so quick... arrrgh
[03:45] <khaije1> sam__: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[03:45] <riotkittie> mooey has the speedy fingers of doom
[03:45] <cybercod> i actually knew that one
[03:45] <mooey> muwhahahahaha
[03:46] <khaije1> hehe.. oops!
[03:46] <rbil> Pie-rate: I've never done it but a friend of mine runs his system with gnome running in tty F7 and kdm in F8
[03:46] <mooey> :)
[03:46] <awenasidilisome> i forgot how much MS 2k suxors
[03:46] <mvfeinstein> Can anyone here help me get xgl set up on edgy?
[03:46] <cybercod> there should be a helper point system
[03:46] <riotkittie> on the bright side, im faster than khaije1. <does a little dance>
[03:46] <rbil> Pie-rate: I assume you just start kdm in another tty terminal
[03:46] <mooey> mvfeinstein, do you have 3d acceleration going?
[03:46] <cybercod> mvfeinstein... automatix-bleeder does it
[03:46] <Aggort> Does anyone in here know why Windows would need the Windows Install CD to be in the CD drive to boot, though it doesn't actually boot the CD?
[03:46] <khaije1> riotkittie: heh! i'm multiskalking!
[03:46] <mooey> Aggort, possibly not the right channel :p
[03:46] <cybercod> aggort... if there is a critical system file missing, it could be reading it off the disk in order to boot
[03:46] <khaije1> (multislaking)
[03:46] <riotkittie> because Windows is the root of all evil and your Windows install is clearly possessed?
[03:46] <fami_> awenasidilisome, Sorry, but I don't know any particulars of the LG phones. You would have to google for info on it.
[03:47] <Aggort> cybercod: I ahd thought about that
[03:47] <awenasidilisome> yeah i know
[03:47] <Aggort> cybercod: But I can't even boot into recovery console to find out so
[03:47] <awenasidilisome> fami_ yeah i know
[03:47] <cybercod> Aggort... try going to Qunu.com  good free windows help there
[03:47] <mooey> best to blow your windows parition away for ubuntu though yea ? :}
[03:47] <Aggort> cybercod: Will try
[03:47] <cybercod> mooey... definately
[03:47] <gninommus> how can i config tv out with an ati 9600xt on edgy? i followed the instructions at http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Edgy_Installation_Guide
[03:47] <riotkittie> i need to get rid of my 2k partition ;\
[03:47] <Aggort> I would btu I am a gamer
[03:48] <mvfeinstein> mooey yes
[03:48] <mooey> excellent mvfeinstein :)
[03:48] <cybercod> aggort... try cedega
[03:48] <gninommus> but the ati config doesnt have any options
[03:48] <mvfeinstein> cybercod what is automatix-bleeder?
[03:48] <awenasidilisome> any one know if i should put kubuntu on the ubuntu box?
[03:48] <linuxgoober> Aggort I am a gamer, but I only use linux
[03:48] <mooey> automatix is evil mvfeinstein, avoid it :~)
[03:48] <Aggort> linuxgoobeR: How?
[03:48] <covOPprometheus> jerp, does that thing work on wine or what?
[03:48] <arooni> hey folks, when i run ... 'grep date_created ./' i get 'permission denied'.... do i need to write something different to recurisvely search through current directory looking for files with 'date_created'in them?
[03:48] <cybercod> mvfeinstein  it is a group of scripts for installing things in ubuntu
[03:48] <riotkittie> i am so ... something or other. i finally downgraded from xp to 2k, spent far too many hours moving partitions and breaking things...
[03:48] <mvfeinstein> mooey ok :)
[03:48] <awenasidilisome> dont know if its better to have 2 linux boxs or 1
[03:48] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, thank you!!!! Would you know if ubuntu is good for a gameserver? Because thats what im tring to use it as
[03:48] <linuxgoober> a lot of my favorite games play with linux and those that don't can with cedega and wine
[03:49] <jerp> covOPprometheus, what, do you need to put something on you ipod?
[03:49] <cybercod> I've not had any trouble with it mooey... whats wrong with automatix?
[03:49] <riotkittie> only to realize i *could* write to my husband's computer from ubuntu after all :/
[03:49] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, it depends what games tbh. alot run better on windows, sadly, but ubuntu is as good as any linux distro for game hosting. its modern, which is great
[03:49] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> linuxgoober try cedega, it seems to be the best for linux gaming
[03:49] <awenasidilisome> asdfjkahsdfjkha ubuntu should be good for a game server
[03:49] <aivijay_> true
[03:49] <mooey> cybercod, its frowned upon because it usually breaks a lot of things :(
[03:49] <riotkittie> have 2. one to test things and potentially break things with, one to work with ;p
[03:50] <Aggort> linuxgoober: OK, then how about this list of games I play, and you can help me out. BF2, Counterstrike, Half-Life and mods of the two, WoW, and War Rock, that's all I play
[03:50] <linuxgoober> asdfjkahsdfjkha : i have it, but theres no point in using it for games that run natively
[03:50] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> Hrmm, I had this problem that about 24 hours of running it the cpu usage would skyrocket and the serverside FPS would drop the teens, so I would haft to restart the server....
[03:50] <mooey> riotkittie, thats what i do :~) my laptop is for breakage and my desktop is stable
[03:50] <cybercod> ah... as I've said.. i've not had any trouble with it... and usually i install it before other things... so not much to break
[03:50] <linuxgoober> Aggort : broaden your horizons lol
[03:50] <covOPprometheus> jerp, nope, not at all, I need a video converter/encoder, that is able to change between a wide range of formats (like SUPER  on windows) but for ubuntu
[03:51] <Aggort> linuxgoober: Let me guess no of those games play or work?
[03:51] <riotkittie> i think im going to bring my ancient desktop out of the closet and use it for breakage :D
[03:51] <mooey> sadly linux isn't there yet for games :(
[03:51] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, do you know if there is a way to change the timer frequency to 1000hz on install without having to recompile the kernel ?
[03:51] <aivijay_> guys anyone who can help me out on wireless networking questions
[03:51] <mooey> quake3 based games are good
[03:51] <linuxgoober> I play WoW and Halflife sometimes
[03:51] <Aggort> linuxgoobeR: I only play those on PC (I hate rts's btw) the rest I have a Wii and Xbox360 for
[03:51] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, i suspect you will have to recompile the kernel, but its not so hard :)
[03:51] <linuxgoober> linux gaming is better than dualbooting imho
[03:51] <mooey> agree
[03:51] <mooey> i play /alot/ of enemy territory
[03:51] <riotkittie> dualbootings not bad if youve got the space.
[03:51] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, grrrrrrrrrr, would you have any suggestions on what kernel to use exactly for stability ?
[03:51] <jerp> covOPprometheus, vlc has a lot of plugins http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=449323
[03:52] <Aggort> linuxgoober: can I run mods with Steam throuhg Linux?
[03:52] <riotkittie> although i imagine it'd get annoying if all you did in win was game.
[03:52] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> aggort yes
[03:52] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, probably best just to make that change to the existing ubuntu kernel config. that way you dont stand to break too much heh
[03:52] <cybercod> I tend to keep OS partitions very small and do majority of installations on big media partition
[03:52] <caucas> hello guys
[03:52] <Aggort> asdfjkahsdfjkha: OK then what about War Rock?
[03:52] <linuxgoober> hy caucas
[03:52] <phasegen> anyone have any luck getting a palm t|x to connect to ubuntu?
[03:52] <Aggort> if I can play those then FUCK windows
[03:52] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, I tried to find a tutorial on that but no avail. I always ended up having to dl another kernel
[03:53] <cybercod> My win partition is only 5GB on a 250GB drive
[03:53] <linuxgoober> thats the spirrit Aggort! lol
[03:53] <kitche> !language|Aggort
[03:53] <ubotu> Aggort: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[03:53] <Aggort> sorry kitche
[03:53] <Aggort> I forgot
[03:53] <linuxgoober> fat32 cybercod?
[03:53] <Aggort> lol
[03:53] <covOPprometheus> jerp, thanks, I'll check it out
[03:53] <riotkittie> my current win partition is 1 gb on a 12gb drive ;p
[03:53] <caucas> Linux for humans
[03:53] <caucas> Ubuntu
[03:53] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> aggort, I could play all the hl1 modifications but I didnt have hl2 when I did it. But to my knowledge yes
[03:53] <awenasidilisome> i have 25 gbs on a 120 dedicated to win vista and the rest is for mac os x
[03:53] <cybercod> linuxgoober... actually no... its ext3
[03:53] <mooey> !compilekernel | asdfjkahsdfjkha
[03:53] <ubotu> asdfjkahsdfjkha: kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[03:53] <cybercod> i use ext2fsd in windows
[03:53] <Aggort> kitche: Would you know why Windows would need the Windows Install CD to be in the CD drive to boot, though it doesn't actually boot the CD?
[03:53] <mooey> that has guides on using the existing kernel config, asdfjkahsdfjkha =)
[03:54] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mooey, thanks!!!!!!!
[03:54] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, no problem
[03:54] <Aggort> asdfjkahsdfjkha: Like I said though, what about war rock?
[03:54] <riotkittie> xp was taking up three. and driving me crazy because i had booted into it and used it all of twenty minutes in six weeks
[03:54] <Aggort> asdfjkahsdfjkha: And how do you got about installing them?
[03:54] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> aggort, war rock is just a mod of HL2 and if you can run hl2 then you can run a mod of it
[03:54] <cybercod> is it just me, or is ext3 more succeptible to damage from hardboots than ntfs?
[03:54] <struct> latest release is edgy right?
[03:55] <Aggort> asdfjkahsdfjkha: No it;s not.... it doesn't even play through steam
[03:55] <mooey> cybercod, ntfs hides errors :) so though you may see more, its more capable of dealing with them. when ntfs craps itself, its rarely fixable, but with ext3 its fixable
[03:55] <Aggort> asdfjkahsdfjkha: How do you isntall them anyway?
[03:55] <mooey> struct, yep
[03:55] <maddash> i got a 1089% speed increase using debian...
[03:55] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> aggort, I just used wine to install/run steam then used it like I was on windows
[03:55] <maddash> oop
[03:55] <maddash> s
[03:56] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> but you should use cedega since its made for gaming
[03:56] <linuxgoober> Aggort : purchase cedega or install wine or winex
[03:56] <cybercod> riotkitty  i just find it handy to have two OSes installed because invariably I will do something to screw up one of them
[03:56] <riotkittie> are you using key sequences to avoid having to do hard buuts?
[03:56] <cybercod> I'm one of those ppl who just can't leave things alone
[03:56] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> linuxgoober isnt cedega the new versions of winex ?
[03:56] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, cedega is a commercial proprietray fork of wine
[03:56] <riotkittie> cybercod >> hehehe. i have three installed at the moment :P
[03:56] <linuxgoober> what mooey said
[03:56] <cybercod> i only hardboot when neccessary... when it is extremely locked up (not even numlock works)
[03:56] <Aggort> is wine hard to use?
[03:56] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> wasnt cedega originally winex ?
[03:56] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> aggort no
[03:56] <Aggort> Would I need to be a linux pro I mean
[03:57] <Aggort> realllly
[03:57] <kitche> asdfjkahsdfjkha: cedega is winex
[03:57] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, it was originally wine, yea
[03:57] <Aggort> Hmmmmm
[03:57] <cybercod> aggort... no no no... i use it... whats that tell ya
[03:57] <riotkittie> cybercod > there is a way to get around that sometime with a series of keypresses
[03:57] <Aggort> I am starting to like the sound of this then
[03:57] <Aggort> hmmm
[03:57] <Aggort> Well I ca give it a try
[03:57] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> haha, I didnt even know how to mount a drive and I could get wine to work with steam/wow
[03:57] <Aggort> ok
[03:57] <riotkittie> yes, even when the system appears totally unresponsive
[03:57] <Aggort> but then still doesn;t help me
[03:57] <struct> if wine is gpl you would think cedega would have to distribute under gpl too
[03:57] <Aggort> I need to fix my problem firsty
[03:57] <rbil> cybercod: you should try opening another tty terminal and fix from there and if that doesn't work, ssh into your box and fix from there
[03:57] <Aggort> first*
[03:57] <Aggort> with the CD boot
[03:57] <break_> what the hell
[03:57] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> struct, I think you just pay for the updates or something
[03:58] <break_> flash player 8 isnt available for linux?!
[03:58] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> or the update service
[03:58] <mooey> struct, wine wasn't gpl when transgaming forked it, it was mit licenced. its lgpl now to stop proprietary forks
[03:58] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> People will always find a way to make money :p
[03:58] <riotkittie> you want the key sequences?
[03:58] <linuxgoober> break: don't think so
[03:58] <kitche> break_: nope it's 7 or beta 9
[03:58] <break_> so its impossible to watch videos online
[03:58] <iamsm1th> can anyone help me try to set up my wireless modem, i am new to linux and have been trying everything ALL DAY.
[03:58] <linuxgoober> break_ install beta9
[03:58] <struct> mooey: makes sense
[03:58] <gninommus> is dapper easier with getting tvout with ati working than edgy?
[03:58] <mooey> break_, flash player beta 9 works fine for online videos
[03:59] <kitche> asdfjkahsdfjkha: with cedega you pay for development and support it's not easy getting all those games working nicely
[03:59] <cybercod> one moment... whats tty and ssh stand for respectivly?
[03:59] <riotkittie> ssh = secure shell, i believe
[03:59] <mooey> iamsm1th, can you provide more information? what modem is it, what errors you get, what you have tried etc
[03:59] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> kitche I know I am just stating opinion
[03:59] <Aggort> hey one last thing: Would my games run any slower?
[03:59] <jevangelo> when i try to mount a dvd iso, what type is it
[03:59] <break_> give me the link for flash player 9
[03:59] <kitche> struct: their source code is avaible though cvs without the copyright protection and other stuff that isn't gpl
[03:59] <struct> Aggort: you are going to run games with wine?
[03:59] <jevangelo> iso9660 doesnt work
[03:59] <break_> i click on the link and it takes me to 7's page
[03:59] <Aggort> and what about using my iPod?
[03:59] <mooey> Aggort, generally yea
[04:00] <riotkittie> tty i have no clue.
[04:00] <Aggort> struct: sure sounds good to me
[04:00] <mooey> Aggort, your ipod will work with most apps. rhythmbox / amarok etc
[04:00] <cybercod> actually kitche... you join for a monthly fee... and when all the games you have are working... you quit.  program still works. you just can't update the engine... but if everything is working, you don't need to
[04:00] <struct> Aggort: ok have fun
[04:00] <mooey> !ipod
[04:00] <ubotu> For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto
[04:00] <Aggort> but I;d be willing to purchase cedega to rid of Windows
[04:00] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> aggort, do it, its worth it
[04:00] <mooey> yup
[04:00] <iamsm1th> can anyone help me with setting up my computer to recognize the wireless router???
[04:00] <iamsm1th> can anyone help me with setting up my computer to recognize the wireless router???
[04:00] <Aggort> sturct: What do you mean?
[04:00] <rbil> irotkittie: there are 12 tty consoles. ALT+CTRL+F1 takes u to the first. ALT+F7 from first  will take u to GUI desktop.
[04:01] <open_source_nut> break_: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer9/
[04:01] <iamsm1th> can anyone help me with setting up my computer to recognize the wireless router???
[04:01] <riotkittie> any way, my attempt to offer random, potentiially useful info. if your system appears to go completely unresponsive, even if keyboard indicator lights wont come on... try avoiding a hard boot wthi the following
[04:01] <mooey> !repeat > iamsm1th
[04:01] <cybercod> what does TTY stand for?
[04:01] <open_source_nut> iamsm1th: you have your wireless card setup?
[04:01] <thechef> these days, wine is often better, especially if you have some skills in configuring it. it really depends on the games you want to play, what you should use
[04:01] <kitche> break_: there is packages for 7 and 9
[04:01] <Aggort> asdfjkahsdfjkha: I was worried about iPod downlaoding music and video games, but it sounds like I don;t have to worry at all
[04:01] <break_> i dont see anything about 9 supporting linux
[04:01] <mooey> cybercod, teletypewriter
[04:01] <jakob> how does ubuntu differentiate between files without file extensions?
[04:01] <break_> just mac and windows
[04:01] <jerp> !wireless | iamsm1th
[04:01] <open_source_nut> asdfjkahsdfjkha: nice nick
[04:01] <ubotu> iamsm1th: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:01] <cybercod> well, aggort, its not all gravy... but it can be done
[04:01] <kitche> !flash9|break_
[04:01] <ubotu> break_: flash9 is available from dapper-backports and edgy-backports now, see !backports
[04:02] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> open_source_nut thx
[04:02] <mooey> jakob, it examines the contents. see the file command :)
[04:02] <break_> !backports
[04:02] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[04:02] <Aggort> cybercod: What do you mean?
[04:02] <kitche> break_: 9 is being built for linux so it's not officially out still beta
[04:02] <mooey> pretty stable though
[04:02] <cybercod> yeah... ok... when I said it was locked up... i mean LOCKED UP... but its all better now... i used envy to change to nvidia proprietary drivers and I'm having no trouble now
[04:02] <jakob> mooey, file command?
[04:02] <kuzmaster> i am having problems when trying to update my sources.list via source-o-matic
[04:02] <kuzmaster> i get all sorts of errors http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/714/
[04:03] <kuzmaster> check that out
[04:03] <kitche> kuzmaster: you using edgy?
[04:03] <rbil> cybercod: the GUi might have been locked up but the operating system itself was still running
[04:03] <Aggort> cybercod: What do you mean it's not all gravy?
[04:03] <mooey> jakob, yea. its a command you can use to recognise what type of file a file is, without an extension. its the same system that your desktop uses.
[04:03] <cybercod> I'm sure, rbil... but if I cannot interact with it AT ALL... it may as well be made out of stone
[04:03] <cybercod> I tried letting it sit overnight once... no good
[04:04] <rbil> hence using something like ATL+CTRL+F1 to open another console, log in there and properly close down the system or fix the probs in the GUI
[04:04] <jakob> mooey if I create a text file how do I tell ubuntu that it's a script?
[04:04] <riotkittie> alt+sysreq+r to put the keyboard into raw mode, then alt+sysreq+s to sync the disc, then alt+sysreq+e to terminate all processes, then alt+sysreq+u to remount all file systems read only, and finally, alt+sysreq+b to reboot. wait around 15 secs between each sequence.
[04:04] <cybercod> no keyboard input.. no mouse input... thankfully the power button still worked
[04:04] <mooey> jakob, it will recognise it by the contents in the file and its file name
[04:04] <cybercod> riotkitty... wow
[04:04] <cybercod> i may have to write that down
[04:05] <mooey> riotkittie, thats wicked
[04:05] <jakob> mooey so should I add an extension to ie. "myscript"?
[04:05] <kuzmaster> kitche: yep
[04:05] <mooey> jakob, what type of script is it? bash script?
[04:05] <FFForever> what do you guys think about ms and there "intellectual property" in the linux kernel?
[04:05] <cybercod> ALT + SysReq +   R then S then E then U
[04:05] <mooey> FFForever, FUD
[04:05] <riotkittie> then B ,
[04:05] <kiwinz_sucks> !seen batiste
[04:05] <ubotu> I haven't seen batiste recently
[04:05] <kitche> !offtopic|FFForever
[04:05] <ubotu> FFForever: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[04:06] <cybercod> i think it is not going to make much difference if Sun gets patents to DRM
[04:06] <kitche> kuzmaster: did source-o-matic finally add edgy to their system?
[04:06] <cybercod> Because then SUN will own MS
[04:06] <jakob> mooey, no idea what that is, but it sounds like a batch file. But this is what I want in the script "sudo ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/lirc | sudo lircd"
[04:06] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> oo I heard somethnig about someone patenting DRM
[04:06] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> whow as it?
[04:06] <kuzmaster> kitche: well, it comes up with edgy in the drop down box
[04:06] <mooey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, alan cox :)
[04:06] <break_> oh great, i dont have any audio
[04:06] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[04:06] <mooey> jakob, in which case you need to put a shebang at the top of the file: #!/bin/sh
[04:07] <mooey> jakob, then the desktop should recognise it as a script
[04:07] <break_> where did my sound go????
[04:07] <cybercod> riotkitty...   R S E U B... missed the B   is that right?
[04:07] <break_> i was listening to a cd a couple hours ago, it was working fine
[04:07] <break_> now i dont have any audio output at all
[04:07] <riotkittie> cybercod  >> yep !
[04:07] <jakob> mooey a shebang?
[04:07] <mooey> jakob, lol. thats what its called *shrug*
[04:07] <mooey> !shebang
[04:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about shebang - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:07] <bnvjmhj> hi
[04:07] <mooey> :(
[04:08] <awenasidilisome|> break_ what did you to your computer?
[04:08] <mooey> howdy, bnvjmhj
[04:08] <odi3> Problem: I mount a network folder in ubuntu, add to fstab, works for 20 secs or so then stops responding. If i reboot it will work for 20 more seconds then stop responding, any ideas how to fix?
[04:08] <jakob> mooey, how do I add that?
[04:08] <cybercod> riotkitty... the things you learn in here
[04:08] <riotkittie> and give it like 10 or 15 secs between each series of keypresses so the system can do its thing
[04:08] <cybercod> i'm gonna email that to myself
[04:08] <kiwinz_sucks> break, check and make sure you have the right switches on
[04:08] <mooey> jakob, open the script in a text editor and add it as a new line to the top
[04:08] <break_> i've only installed flash9
[04:08] <new_user> hi all
[04:08] <riotkittie> cybercod,  i read it on the forums and had to write it down :P
[04:08] <kiwinz_sucks> for instance, some better sound cards have digital/analog switches
[04:08] <mooey> hi, new_user
[04:08] <riotkittie> its come in handy quite a few times and has never failed me
[04:08] <break_> i've had more problems with linux in the past day than i have with windows in the past year
[04:08] <jakob> mooey, ah, get it now.. Where should I put this script if I want it to run when I boot?
[04:09] <kurumin> ola
[04:09] <kiwinz_sucks> break, what sound card are you using
[04:09] <odi3> my fstab entry://diskstation/personal /diskstation/personal smbfs rw,uid=odi3,gid=odi3,username=admin,password=baddog 0 0
[04:09] <break_> nforce audio
[04:09] <break_> integrated
[04:09] <break_> im restarting, it helps alot
[04:09] <mooey> jakob, hm. i guess in /etc/init.d/ and then link it properly but im not sure about that
[04:09] <kurumin> sorry, can you repeat pleas
[04:09] <cybercod> riotkitty.. have you had to use it?
[04:09] <riotkittie> cybercod >> indeed i have. quite a few times.
[04:09] <mooey> break_, linux can be hard to get going. but the advantage is that when its going it shouldn't break, where as windows usually does, its a trade off, heh.
[04:10] <jakob> mooey, I thought the init.d was just commands.. I'll give it a try
[04:10] <riotkittie> and ive never had problems or data loss on the reboot
[04:10] <break_> a trade off that seems to favor windows
[04:10] <kiwinz_sucks> i have to rebuild my windows drive, but I keep putting it off because i dread it so much
[04:10] <break_> i can listen to music in linux, thats a plus
[04:10] <break_> but it sounds like crap
[04:10] <kiwinz_sucks> break, what app are you using
[04:10] <break_> no matter what program i use, volume
[04:10] <break_> nothing
[04:10] <break_> right now i'm using xmms
[04:10] <awenasidilisome|> break_ does it sound faster then normal or is it just poor quality
[04:10] <mooey> break_, i guess it depends how many problems you run into. it would be fantastic if you noted down the problems that you have and list them somewhere (your blog, mailing list, forums etc) so that we can make ubuntu better
[04:11] <break_> very poor quality
[04:11] <kiwinz_sucks> i've had problems with VLC having crappy sound quality
[04:11] <odi3> easiest way to rebuild windows is to build once, then save image on external sourse
[04:11] <kiwinz_sucks> i mean HORRIBLE quality
[04:11] <kiwinz_sucks> but other than that, apps play sound fine
[04:11] <break_> vlc is fine with videos
[04:11] <mooey> break_, use the sound mixer to adjust the levels, drop them all down abit then turn the speakers up?
[04:11] <riotkittie> hmm.  i found audio sounded a lot better when i installed the xmms eq plugins and turned 3d  on under alsamixer
[04:11] <break_> thats what i did mooey
[04:11] <break_> it still sounds horrible
[04:11] <cybercod> odi3.. yeah I use paragon drive copy for that
[04:12] <kiwinz_sucks> what's the best disk imager for linux
[04:12] <mooey> break_, i think xmms uses oss. you might get better sound quality from a more modern player like beep media player or rhythmbox that uses alsa
[04:12] <zcat[1] > kiwinz_sucks: partimage .. or dd :)
[04:12] <checkmate> i run xmms w/alsa fine
[04:12] <kiwinz_sucks> i've got a separate partition setup already and a clean install, so i'd like to do a complete image
[04:12] <cybercod> xmms can use alsa also
[04:12] <odi3> i used to just use ghost
[04:12] <h_black> i just updated ubuntu to 6.10, since i did i have troubles connecting to unencrypted networks, any ideas?
[04:12] <open_source_nut> kiwinz_sucks: dd
[04:12] <odi3> same thing tho
[04:12] <erisco> I am trying to remove a package, but it is trying to remove another package that shouldn't be removed. gnome-desktop. How can I get around this?
[04:12] <kiwinz_sucks> thanks, guys
[04:13] <mooey> erisco, it will do that if gnome-desktop depends on the package and so it shouldn't really be removed
[04:13] <zcat[1] > I just tar everything then reinstall grub by hand.. that way I can easily move to a different size partition or a totally different kind of drive (RAID, SATA) which partimage is likely to have issues with
[04:13] <kitche> kiwinz_sucks: be careful with dd since it cna whipe your drive clean also
[04:13] <erisco> mooey, so how can I reinstall my other package?
[04:13] <doofy> is there a good tutorial on making k3b burn mp3s in edgy?
[04:13] <kiwinz_sucks> will do, kitche
[04:13] <mooey> erisco, aptitude reinstall package? :}
[04:13] <kiwinz_sucks> it'll make a network-installable image, right?
[04:13] <odi3> erisco, you might have gnome-desktop checked and not seeing it in the list due to a filter
[04:13] <cybercod> doofy... you're probably missing libk3bmp3
[04:14] <Aggort> Well is that case, if anyone in here knows why Windows would need the Windows Install CD to be in the CD drive to boot, though it doesn't actually boot the CD, I can fix the problem and be Windows free!
[04:14] <erisco> mooey, thanks :)
[04:14] <Red-Sox> Any way to play apple's AAC's in Ubuntu?
[04:14] <riotkittie> why do you need to fix the problem to be windows free?
[04:14] <doofy> cybercod, thank you.
[04:14] <mooey> its late. bed for me. asdfjkahsdfjkha i hope you get your system sorted, let me know how it goes :-)
[04:15] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> thanks
[04:15] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> ttyl mooey
[04:15] <riotkittie> nite mooey
[04:15] <mooey> night all
[04:15] <odi3> aggort, what happens when CD isnt in drive?
[04:15] <cybercod> doofy.   no prob.. check spelling on that i'm not sure... and you may have to re-install k3b
[04:15] <mag__> Can I do restrictions in sub-files ?
[04:15] <mag__> in samba ?
[04:15] <doofy> cybercod, ill find it, didnt know there was a package in the reps
[04:15] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> name server = dns right?
[04:15] <Aggort> riotkittie: because regardless it will ask me to boot from CD (even thought it's clearly on the hard drive.
[04:15] <kitche>  asdfjkahsdfjkha yes
[04:16] <odi3> aggort, you might just need to go into bios and change the boot order
[04:16] <cybercod> aggort... and if you do not put the cd in?
[04:16] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> thansk
[04:16] <odi3> so it boots from specified hard drive instead of cd .
[04:16] <riotkittie> odi3, he's tried that. at least i hope he has because people have been suggesting it since at least this time last night
[04:16] <riotkittie> :P
[04:16] <Aggort> odi3: It will jsut hang there and then about 3 mintues alter start to try and boot from CD and then it won't boot anything if the CD is in there. Hell Grub won't even start to load unless the CD is in.            Cybercod: It boots Windows fine (w/o grub) With grub I get error 17!
[04:16] <odi3> haha oo ok
[04:17] <odi3> hmm
[04:17] <webmaren> i can't get my keyboard to work in a java applet
[04:17] <FFForever> y is the ubuntu wiki ssl?
[04:17] <Aggort> odi3- The boot order is definitely Hard Drive - CD- Floppy. I know I suck, but I am not a total noob
[04:17] <odi3> what happens if you pull cd rom drive right out of computer?
[04:17] <kitche> the bios boot order won't effect anything unless he has a cd in there of course
[04:17] <cybercod> error 17... oh yes... i just love error 17
[04:17] <Aggort> odi3: The same thing
[04:17] <zcat[1] > Aggort: what kinds drive? ide? sata?
[04:17] <cybercod> its my favorite
[04:18] <Aggort> zcat[1] : SATA
[04:18] <Aggort> cybercod: It's everyones
[04:18] <h_black> Since i updated ubuntu i can't get it to connect to my unencrypted network, does anyone know why?
[04:18] <webmaren> i can't type in java applets
[04:18] <iamsm1th> can anyone help me with setting up my computer to recognize the wireless router???
[04:18] <zcat[1] > hmm.. limited experience with sata .. I've set mine in bios to pretend to be IDE and that works for me..
[04:19] <NoEvidenZ> iamsm1th: I wish.
[04:19] <cybercod> aggort... does it have an IDE drive in it?
[04:19] <Aggort> If I unistall windows it will still look for the CD and if I put the CD in then it will boot the install and not grub!
[04:19] <Aggort> cybercod: Yes
[04:19] <odi3> iamsmlth what kind of wireless device u have?
[04:19] <mikedoty> I return slowly because my connection to the repositories was around 5 - 7 kb/sec
[04:19] <odi3> if u have linksys pcmia card with speedbooster i can hook u up:)
[04:19] <mikedoty> And because I was making a cake
[04:19] <cybercod> iamsm1th... is your wireless card detected?
[04:19] <riotkittie> did you try fixmbr from xp recov console?
[04:19] <zcat[1] > Aggort: can you get as far as the grum menu? try changing the kernel options from hda? to sda? and see if it can boot...
[04:20] <iamsm1th> yes, i think so
[04:20] <cybercod> mikedoty... did it work?
[04:20] <mikedoty> Thanks for your help cybercod and mooey in helping me figure out to use the program correctly
[04:20] <iamsm1th> it just says this device is not configured
[04:20] <FFForever> how can i speen up my apt downloads?
[04:20] <zcat[1] > *grub menu I mean...
[04:20] <FFForever> im getting 7722B/s :/
[04:20] <Aggort> zcat[1] : No when grub loads I get error 17
[04:20] <cybercod> mikedoty... so it is working?
[04:20] <FFForever> i normally get 80kb/s
[04:20] <mikedoty> It did indeed work and it is indeed working ;)
[04:20] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> lol speen
[04:20] <h_black> iamsm1th i'm having the same problem!
[04:20] <webmaren> i can't type in java applets can someone here offer some help
[04:20] <zcat[1] > Aggort: ok, sounds like grub is looking in the wrong place too...
[04:20] <odi3> u guys have linksys pcmia cards?
[04:20] <cybercod> ok... aggort... if you can put your /boot folder on the ide drive and point grub to it.. you should be able to get grub working
[04:20] <h_black> unless you type in a essid u can't connect
[04:21] <Aggort> zcat[1] : yea
[04:21] <Aggort> that's why I want to fix this werid thing witht he CD
[04:21] <Aggort> so I can get rid of Windows
[04:21] <h_black> (i think)
[04:21] <Aggort> cybercod: They did that last night to no avail
[04:21] <Aggort> Ikonia helped me
[04:22] <odi3> !register
[04:22] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[04:22] <h_black> which unbuntu are you running sm1th, 6.10?
[04:22] <cybercod> aggort  what file system on the IDE drive?
[04:22] <Aggort> you can run me through the steps if you;d like, but I am almsot certain that is what they did
[04:22] <riotkittie> when you get rid of windows, mail that cd back to microsoft, accompanied by a scathing letter about just how bad it sucks :P
[04:22] <Aggort> cybercod, I have NTFS and ext3
[04:22] <eitan> hey guys...need help with a bash script
[04:22] <kitche> Aggort: well what is grub installed ot the sata drive right now
[04:23] <Aggort> kitche: Should be
[04:23] <kitche> Aggort: since if it is it would be sd0,2 instead of hd0,2
[04:23] <cybercod> aggort... and you put the /boot files on the ext3 partition? and did you change grub to reflect that?  also.. i recommend the Ultimate Boot CD ISO if you can get it
[04:23] <awenasidilisome|> its so temping to wipe this guys drive and put kubuntu on it and tell him that i couldn't fix the problem so i gave him a better computer
[04:23] <Aggort> cybercod: I beleive so
[04:23] <kitche> awenasidilisome|: do it but then again they can sue you
[04:23] <riotkittie> heh. awenasidilisome| > be nice and give him a dual boot, instead.
[04:24] <Aggort> cybercod: yes the /root is on that partition and I beleive GRUB is too
[04:24] <Aggort> if you want to be sure give me the terminal commands and I will check for you
[04:24] <riotkittie> that way, you open the door to linux but arent exactly forcing him through it.
[04:24] <zcat[1] > Aggort: You have some bios settings to do with SATA? I suggest try fiddling with them and see if you can get grub to load. Sounds like BIOS is finding things in a different order than the install CD told GRUB about...
[04:24] <awenasidilisome|> kitche and riotkittie i want to but its MS 2k and the guy is old so i dont want to give him something he can't understand
[04:24] <riotkittie> and make kubuntu the default option. with a really short grub countdown :-'
[04:25] <Aggort> zcat[1] : I have messed with every last setting nothing worked lol
[04:25] <cybercod> aggort... ultimate boot cd will can find and fix grub, redirecting it to a /boot folder change.   Your /boot/grub/grub.lst (i think) should still reflect where your linux kernel is
[04:25] <zcat[1] > bugger...
[04:25] <riotkittie> awenasidilisome|, how old is so old?
[04:26] <doofy> does k3b support adding more files than are able to fit on one cd and then automatically splitting to a certain amount f cds?
[04:26] <cybercod> aggort   http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/download.html     this is a very handy tool for your toolbox
[04:26] <kitche> awenasidilisome|: but then again I m not a Linux user that much anymore
[04:26] <iamsm1th> can anyone personally help me with setting up my computer to recognize the wireless router???
[04:26] <Aggort> cybercod they game me a command last night like /boot/menu/menu/grub.lst or something like that
[04:26] <riotkittie> i dont know - i think that maybe we have a tendency to make linux out to be too hard, or are too quick to discredit people
[04:26] <awenasidilisome|> riotkittie hes old enough to not understand anything about a computer nor does he care to learn
[04:26] <riotkittie> i imagine he's not doing much beyond email and internet
[04:26] <awenasidilisome|> hes over 50 i think
[04:26] <zcat[1] > boot a rescue disk and reinstall grub using hd(1,0) instead of hd(0,0) perhaps... worst case, put in a plain IDE drive just to boot from? :)
[04:26] <cybercod> aggort... yes. i remember now... /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:27] <riotkittie> ah one of those old people.
[04:27] <Aggort> no such file
[04:27] <cybercod> grub itself needs to be pointed at the right folder though... and it may not be
[04:27] <nny> hi anyone aware of a good howto or the possibilities of taking a frsh ubuntu install and making a livecd out of it?
[04:27] <cybercod> thats what error 17 is... can't find menu.lst
[04:27] <kaeru_> Could somone help me connect to my wireless ap? Kubuntu detects and installed the driver for my interface and I can see netwoks but cannot conntect
[04:27] <Aggort> cybercod: when I should ikonia everything he said it looked right
[04:27] <awenasidilisome|> riotkittie he plays a few game but nothing fansy
[04:28] <riotkittie> lolololol. the other day my husband was all yelling at me because i had downloaded the first iso of slackware and he couldnt log in to a website.
[04:28] <Wass|> hi, I would like to know if there's a way for growisofs to use for the device the  bus,target,lun  argument
[04:28] <awenasidilisome|> lol
[04:28] <nny> basically i have to install some packages on a new system (either via apt or source) and want to make an install cd out of it for future use
[04:28] <Aggort> cybercod: do you know the terminal commands to check this stuff? If so give them to me and I will show you

[04:28] <zcat[1] > I got my machine to run using sata just yesterday .. set the BIOS to use IDE emulation, told the kernel to use /dev/sda1 as root. Everything is sweet. And much faster than ATA66 too...
[04:28] <open_source_nut> kaeru_: did u put in the right ssid and keys
[04:29] <awenasidilisome|> riotkittie towers are heavy and hurt throw a brick they do just as much damage but they're lighter
[04:29] <iamsm1th> can anyone personally help me with setting up my computer to recognize the wireless router???
[04:29] <riotkittie> hahahaha
[04:29] <nny> cybercod, yeah :D
[04:29] <zcat[1] > But I don't really have much of an idea what I actually did. Fiddled with settings until it worked.  Bad file descriptor. ?
[04:30] <awenasidilisome|> how old is he 60?
[04:30] <kaeru_> open_source_nut: I'm not sure about the key. My AP uses WPA-PSK WEP. I used iwconfig key s:foobar but it didn't help
[04:30] <riotkittie> which was impressive. cos my dad is all like "alt, cont... what? write that down"
[04:30] <KNY> about the "Networking" config tool--where does it save its settings?
[04:30] <awenasidilisome|> awesome
[04:30] <iamsm1th> im on wired right now
[04:30] <iamsm1th> but i have a wireless at my house and my apartment at school
[04:30] <kiwinz_sucks> and you can't see your router?
[04:30] <kiwinz_sucks> but you're online?
[04:30] <awenasidilisome|> someone that cares to learn the hot keys that isn't technology savvy
[04:31] <Aggort> neither of them worked
[04:31] <iamsm1th> it says that the device is not configured
[04:31] <whileimhere> I was wondering if I use an email client on my laptop like Evolution or CLAWS will it sync with say the sent items in GMAIL?
[04:31] <iamsm1th> ive tried a bunch of different things
[04:31] <eitan> im pretty new...need help writing a shell script to bind 2 keys to changing the brightness of my laptop.  Right now, I need to feed it commands through terminal to change.  Those commands are "echo "n" > /proc/acpi/sony/brightness" where n is a number 1-8.  I would like to bind 1 key to lower the # and send that command to terminal, and another key to raise it.  Would love some help, thanks guys!
[04:31] <cybercod> iamsm1th   do you have   wlan0 in "Networking" ?
[04:31] <kiwinz_sucks> so your wireless card, then
[04:31] <iamsm1th> no
[04:31] <iamsm1th> i just tried that
[04:31] <open_source_nut> whileimhere: yeah gmail has a howto on that
[04:31] <iamsm1th> and it said does not exist
[04:31] <P3L|C4N0> greetings
[04:31] <kiwinz_sucks> edit your /etc/iftab
[04:31] <open_source_nut> whileimhere: in the settings enable pop acess
[04:31] <kitche> eitan: why not just you xbindkeys?
[04:31] <riotkittie> i dont get how he can be so clueless about computers. he bought his first one in like 91. and he's just... sad.
[04:31] <cybercod> iamsmith who are you replying to
[04:32] <kiwinz_sucks> you'll probably see an extra ethernet card
[04:32] <eitan> kitche: I would love to!  But I dunno how..
[04:32] <odi3> iamsmlth, you need to add some drivers,
[04:32] <whileimhere> On the GMAIL site? I didnt see if it specifically will sync sent items
[04:32] <riotkittie> on the bright side, i'm not getting tech support calls from him anymore :P
[04:32] <cybercod> riotkittie... its a knack.. some got it ... some use aol
[04:32] <riotkittie> hehehe. he uses aol.

[04:33] <open_source_nut> whileimhere: do you have pop access enabled
[04:33] <pale_horse> heh my first was an IMSAI 8080B with a full hardware front panel ( circa 1976 )
[04:33] <cybercod> iamsmith.... you never answered... do you have wlan0 in "Networking" ?
[04:33] <KNY> about the "Networking" config tool--where does it save its settings?
[04:33] <kiwinz_sucks> he said he didn't
[04:33] <riotkittie> 1976 was before my time ;p
[04:33] <pale_horse> << is old
[04:33] <cybercod> kny... not a clue here
[04:33] <awenasidilisome|> great thing is now i have enough computers to have XP, Ubuntu, Mac os x, Vista, and kubuntu running in one room
[04:33] <awenasidilisome|> and soon to be opensolaris
[04:33] <cybercod> kny... try googling it...
[04:33] <Aggort> damn nothinfg
[04:33] <KNY> cybercod, alright
[04:34] <zcat[1] > awenasidilisome|: what, one computer and qemu? :)
[04:34] <whileimhere> open_source_nut: I have no prob getting email via pop what I am wondering is this. If I go to say work and use webmail and then come home and check it with a client will all the folders sync or just the inbox?
[04:34] <n30n> does anyone use that auto 'network-manager' package?
[04:34] <vectorxshell> alguem do brasil?

[04:34] <KNY> castoff, thanks
[04:34] <Amadeo> How do I go about updating my video drivers?  Obrigada.
[04:35] <tophatsir> it should sync.. but that can vary upon your server
[04:35] <zcat[1] > !nvidia | Amadeo
[04:35] <ubotu> Amadeo: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:35] <Amadeo> thanks zcat[1]
[04:35] <cybercod> aggort... you still there
[04:35] <Aggort> yes
[04:35] <n30n> kiwinz_sucks: well i clicked and disabled networking, then when i reenabled it the section for enabling and disabling wireless networking disappear
[04:35] <Aggort> netiehr file was there
[04:35] <cybercod> armadeo http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[04:35] <kiwinz_sucks> i've seen that before
[04:35] <tophatsir> lol just modded my box to inside and out to look like a mac
[04:35] <kiwinz_sucks> it usually comes back up in my experience, though
[04:36] <whileimhere> open_source_nut: Okay. I was getting an error the other day about my sent items not syncing
[04:36] <open_source_nut> whileimhere: what client?
[04:36] <cybercod> aggort... go into you root directory
[04:36] <awenasidilisome|> zcat qemu?
[04:36] <kiwinz_sucks> last time i saw it, the card he was using was going bad
[04:36] <Aggort> cybercod ... :cough:: how
[04:36] <kiwinz_sucks> i don't think it's an applicatin problem, i think it's hardware
[04:36] <whileimhere> Evolution
[04:36] <awenasidilisome|> riotkittie i love macs but i'm slowly moving to linux/mac
[04:36] <cybercod> aggort.. open up any nautilus window and keep hitting the up arrow
[04:36] <zcat[1] > awenasidilisome|: well.. any emulator. intel mac + OSX + parallels to run all the other OSes ...
[04:36] <awenasidilisome|> or if i can get a copy of opensolaris i'm going to use that
[04:36] <cybercod> not the up arrow on the keyboard
[04:37] <n30n> kiwinz_sucks: i still connect wirelessly, i just cant see wireless networks under the network-manager drop list
[04:37] <cybercod> the up one folder button
[04:37] <kiwinz_sucks> n30n, i'm clueless then
[04:37] <kiwinz_sucks> are you using kde or gnome
[04:37] <awenasidilisome|> i have 1 pc for each OS exept i run vista and os x on the macbook
[04:37] <tophatsir> i can run all os's on my machine currently but i really prefer linux and windows way over mac os
[04:37] <zcat[1] > awenasidilisome|: thus "emough computers" == "one"
[04:37] <awenasidilisome|> nah
[04:37] <whileimhere> Though I think I want something that isnt so encumbersome
[04:37] <cybercod> aggort... when you can't go up anymore, you're in root
[04:37] <awenasidilisome|> 1 is never enough
[04:37] <Aggort> cybercod: cannot, it will jsut take me to the CD
[04:37] <awenasidilisome|> what does nasidile mean?
[04:37] <tophatsir> only reason i keep my windows is for vista dictation
[04:37] <whileimhere> I dont want all that evolution can do and a smaller footprint
[04:37] <open_source_nut> whileimhere: whell im using thunderbird
[04:38] <Aggort> cybercod: it will taske me to the CD's root
[04:38] <zcat[1] > I have enough computers to keep my house warm all winter....
[04:38] <Amadeo> Isn't a Pentium 4 (older, 2.26Ghz) considered an i386 processor? wikipedia lists it under i686
[04:38] <n30n> kiwinz_sucks: I guess its just goo it still works
[04:38] <cybercod> aggort... are you on a live disk right now?
[04:38] <whileimhere> open_source_nut: How is it?
[04:38] <open_source_nut> zcat[1] : lol
[04:38] <Aggort> cybercod: yes it's all can boot too
[04:38] <n30n> kiwinz_sucks: i just cant see it in GUI
[04:38] <tophatsir> its a 386
[04:38] <cybercod> aggort... crap
[04:38] <zcat[1] > power bill sucks though.
[04:38] <Amadeo> Yeah, I thought so
[04:38] <awenasidilisome|> zcat they all dont run at the same time
[04:38] <kiwinz_sucks> you could try installing the kde version of the app
[04:38] <cybercod> aggort... you need to mount some partitions...
[04:38] <kiwinz_sucks> just to see if it works better for you
[04:38] <Aggort> cybercod: ok
[04:38] <kiwinz_sucks> it also gives you more information than the gnome app
[04:39] <awenasidilisome|> except the xp box has to run when one of the pcs needs to be on the internet
[04:39] <open_source_nut> whileimhere:  its nice
[04:39] <open_source_nut> whileimhere:  and cool
[04:39] <tophatsir> any one know if there is any dictation software for linux (debian or ubuntu)
[04:39] <cybercod> aggort... make some folders on the desktop... just label them 1 2 3 4 etc one for each partition on every drive
[04:39] <Aggort> cybercod: I have ubuntu and windows installed, but cant access either of them
[04:39] <whileimhere> open_source_nut: Ill grab it from the repo then.
[04:39] <Asc> P4 is an x86 processor, which means it'll run a 386 kernel just fine, but it's a 686.
[04:39] <Aggort> cybercod: created folders
[04:39] <jimcooncat> Amadeo, it's a 686, but can run 386 kernel
[04:40] <tophatsir> p4 isnt a 386..
[04:40] <Amadeo> jimcooncat: So which linux-restricted-modules should I be using? Will one benefit me more?
[04:40] <awenasidilisome|> mac has dictation software
[04:40] <awenasidilisome|> lol
[04:40] <Asc> Some pentium 3s are also identified as 686s... my 500 mhz laptop is running a 686 kernel right now.
[04:40] <eitan> kitche: How can i figure out what key-codes are for certain key-presses, for instance my laptop has an Fn key
[04:40] <cybercod> aggort. once you're done there,  click System, then Administration, then Disks
[04:40] <tophatsir> i need some dictation software really bad
[04:41] <Aggort> k
[04:41] <Aggort> done
[04:41] <tophatsir> anyone got any suggestions for linux dictation sofware
[04:41] <cybercod> aggort you should see your drives
[04:41] <cybercod> do you?
[04:41] <Aggort> yea
[04:41] <Aggort> I have 1
[04:41] <kiwinz_sucks> what is "dictation" software
[04:41] <cybercod> ok... now, you're gonna want to select the drive that ubuntu is installed on, and click the partitions tab
[04:41] <tophatsir> you speak into mic and it types what you say
[04:41] <awenasidilisome|> yeah i finally got the driver downloaded W007!
[04:41] <awenasidilisome|> took me long enough
[04:41] <Aggort> did
[04:42] <awenasidilisome|> jeez windows sucks
[04:42] <maddash> mac also has reverse dictation software
[04:42] <Asc> tophatsir: My understanding of the situation if that you're best off using a proprietary solution for dictation on Linux.  But I might be wrong.
[04:42] <riotkittie> tophatsir, dictation under linux is basically a no go
[04:42] <gendor> could someone help me
[04:42] <zcat[1] > is there any voice recogition stuff for ubuntu?
[04:42] <maddash> I once order pizza using microsoft word on a mac
[04:42] <tophatsir> alright
[04:42] <cybercod> ok... now to mount the partitions... you should see a "change" button
[04:42] <tophatsir> i will just stick with my vista then
[04:42] <Matt_> anyone have a quick minute for newb question about wifi and ubuntu?
[04:42] <jimcooncat> Amadeo: p   linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-27-686                   - Non-free Linux 2.6.15 modules on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/PIV
[04:42] <maddash> and one time, my dad thought I was with a girl or something haha
[04:42] <Aggort> yea
[04:43] <tophatsir> just hate beta testing.. gets to be a pain with all the bug reports
[04:43] <Asc> maddash: I made mine sing 'the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out...'
[04:43] <jimcooncat> Amadeo, that's from dapper
[04:43] <riotkittie> IBM used to have a program but i think someone bought it   ...
[04:43] <Amadeo> I see
[04:43] <cybercod> click that and browse your way to the folders you created    /home/ubuntu/Desktop/1
[04:43] <gendor> When I change font settings they affect everything except Firefox which keeps having somewhat blurry fonts
[04:43] <Asc> Matt_: Just ask away, and hope somebody answers. ;p
[04:44] <cybercod> aggort   once its there, you should click enable
[04:44] <Aggort> did
[04:44] <Amadeo> the 686 in Edgy says it's obsoleted by linux-restricted-modules-generic...which it says I already have...so now I don't know if I should be installing one of these or not, though the page says to... :P
[04:44] <riotkittie> i was looking into it a while ago because of issues with my wrist
[04:44] <Aggort> did
[04:44] <kohr_> is there a way to change the upload browser (like in firefox) to allow you to preview files like the windows one does?
[04:44] <cybercod> aggort, is it enabled?
[04:44] <Aggort> yup
[04:44] <castoff> gender: firefox settings are edit->preferences
[04:44] <Matt_> Do any wireless devices work with Ubuntu "out of the box"?  Is there a list of these devices or drivers somewhere? I have a desktop that I intend to use with Ubuntu and thought I would ask before I go out and buy an 802.11 adapter.
[04:44] <cybercod> ok... now minimize that for a moment
[04:44] <jimcooncat> Amadeo, to see list:  apt-cache search linux-restricted
[04:44] <tophatsir> meh.. i am bored.. i think i will go telnet my other comp just for kicks..=p
[04:44] <yoshiznit123> tophatsir, there are some solutions that i think work pretty well
[04:44] <webmaren> i cannot type my login to the java applet on runescape.com
[04:44] <Aggort> k
[04:44] <castoff> gendor: firefox settings are edit->preferences
[04:44] <webmaren> can someone offer help
[04:44] <cybercod> now open the folder "1"
[04:44] <zcat[1] > Matt_: rt2400 works sweet in edgy...
[04:44] <Aggort> did
[04:45] <gendor> castoff: but how can I make my fonts anti-aliased
[04:45] <break_> would anybody like to guide me through the installation of firefox 2.0?
[04:45] <kiwinz_sucks> Matt_, there IS a list, or a couple lists, rather, but they aren't too reliable
[04:45] <zcat[1] > out of the box, right off the install CD
[04:45] <cybercod> you see your ubuntu install in there?
[04:45] <tophatsir> webmaren: did you install the java plugin?
[04:45] <riotkittie> my wireless card worked from the minute
[04:45] <Aggort> yup
[04:45] <kiwinz_sucks> your best bet is to just ask around for someone who'd tried one
[04:45] <webmaren> yes
[04:45] <webmaren> from synaptic
[04:45] <cybercod> ok... /boot/grub/menu.list
[04:45] <yoshiznit123> break_, which version are you using? 2.0 is already included by default in edgy
[04:45] <break_> 1.5
[04:45] <break_> im on dapper
[04:45] <cybercod> find it yet?
[04:45] <yoshiznit123> break_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion
[04:45] <gendor> it seems that the fonts throughout the system and menus are anti-aliased but the fonts in Firefox keep aren't
[04:45] <Aggort> there
[04:46] <tophatsir> yoshiznit123, what do you mean.. for dictation?
[04:46] <cybercod> ok... is it opened up in gedit?
[04:46] <Aggort> yup
[04:46] <webmaren> tophatsir: yes i got it from synaptic, also jvm
[04:46] <yoshiznit123> tophatsir, yea actually i was looking for one a while back :-)
[04:46] <Matt_> Anyone have any luck with the Linksys USB 2.0 802.11 adapters?
[04:46] <cybercod> ok... this is just the config file for grub.   this SHOULD  be right, as it is now.... the problem is that grub itself cannot find it
[04:47] <cybercod> hence the error 17
[04:47] <yoshiznit123> tophatsir, i think you use ibm's viavoice and xvoice as one option
[04:47] <Aggort> yup
[04:47] <odi3> to get the linksys pcmia card to work you gotta update the firmware..
[04:47] <linuxgoober> Matt_ I got a trendnet to work, but it was so long ago i forget ho wi did it :-(
[04:47] <burepe_> does anyone know where the hosts file is in my apache install?
[04:47] <tophatsir> youshiznit, thanks.. any other suggestions.
[04:47] <cybercod> aggort....ok... wait a moment... lemme look something up
[04:47] <Aggort> k
[04:47] <kohr_> can anyone tell me what the default file upload/file chooser program (like if you are uploading something with firefox) is called?
[04:47] <yoshiznit123> tophatsir, i guess google "linux voice recognition"
[04:48] <castoff> gendor: see if this helps http://forums.pcbsd.org/viewtopic.php?p=25646
[04:48] <tophatsir> yoshiznit123, thanks for the help. will do. =]
[04:48] <Amadeo> jimcooncat: Yeah, I'm just confused...this page says to get the linux-restricted-modules according to my processor...which is a Pentium 4.  The i386 has no special comments, but the i686 says it's obsoleted by the -generic that I already have installed...so which am I supposed to be getting? Any at all before I install Nvidia drivers?
[04:48] <erisco> can anyone find the package dbg-gaim on ubuntu 6.06? Or anyone know how I can get this package?
[04:49] <friedeggs> hello, I need help...after the default login screen, when the desktop is loading, the system is hanging, badly, the whole screen is just a solid peach colour, and a white box appears in the upper left hand corner...it looks like it wants to be a terminal there, but nothing can be typed in...help
[04:49] <break_> wow, this is too confusing
