[15:44] <ubotu> lvoicu: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[15:44] <radioaktivstorm> is there a reason i cannot remove the kubuntu-desktop metapackage using aptitude? (i installed using aptitude)
[15:44] <alanbshepard70> erudified: idleOne: Yea I know not all distros will follow it perfectly I just needed to get a hint of how things are typically done. Knowing that I think what isn't standard will be fairly intuitive.
[15:45] <ganeshhegde> NixPanther:but i need it on ubuntu itself...how to install modem driver?
[15:45] <lvoicu> IdleOne, thanks
[15:45] <IdleOne> alanbshepard70: sounds like a plan :)
[15:45] <alanbshepard70> :)
[15:45] <IdleOne> radioaktivstorm: what command are you using?
[15:46] <IdleOne> radioaktivstorm: and why do you want to remove it
[15:46] <gambler> hello
[15:46] <IdleOne> hey
[15:46] <NixPanther> ganeshhegde, You will have to hunt for them, as most modems only have windows drivers. You could look and see if they are in synaptic first though.
[15:46] <gambler> mowi kto w jezyku polskim?
[15:46] <alison> doesn't ubuntu have a "cube function" where you can spint he desktop around 360 degrees?

[15:46] <bazhang> wow so fast
[15:47] <puplin> alison: yes - under "desktop effects"
[15:47] <radioaktivstorm> IdleOne, i attempted using sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop. and ive settled on xfce for my desktop environment, and dont want all of the programs and such... it removes kubuntu-desktop it looks like... but not all of the associated packages.
[15:47] <przemo> hi, is there anybody here who has LCD LG L226WA-WN?

[15:48] <portal> thanks for your help
[15:48] <etienne__> tes français ?
[15:48] <IdleOne> radioaktivstorm: ok then the command removed the package succesfuly but did not return the expected results. that is because kubuntu-desktop is a meta-package ( a list of packages ) it is not actualy a package in itself. unfortunately there is no easy way to remove all of the kubuntu apps and you are going to have to do it maunally
[15:48] <bazhang> #ubuntu-fr
[15:48] <Vinx> ouep
[15:48] <phil\> ben si il te le dit etienne__ :>
[15:48] <Scottc> well

[15:49] <Scottc> Ubuntu is the worst OS i've ever installed
[15:49] <Scottc> Never again.
[15:49] <phil\> Scottc: why ? ;)

[15:49] <mrichman> I just burned 7.10 and went to install...I selected Install from the menu and it loaded into a graphical login screen...what did I do wrong? Or is Ubuntu just crap?
[15:49] <ganeshhegde> k...thanx...i ll search for it..
[15:49] <Vinx> Scottc: do you prefer Vista ?!
[15:49] <ganeshhegde> NixPanther:k...thanx...i ll search for it..
[15:49] <Scottc> no
[15:49] <Scottc> XP
[15:49] <puplin> Scottc: why?
[15:49] <radioaktivstorm> IdleOne, alright, thanks for the help :)... Ill go poke around the internet for a list of the packages i need to remove
[15:49] <etienne__> bon jaimerai me creer un compte thunderbird Mail mais je sais pas comnent faire ...
[15:50] <bazhang> Scottc: then this is not the channel for you
[15:50] <Scottc> When I installed Ubuntu to dual boot with XP, it screwed up my XP partition so I couldn't boot into it
[15:50] <IdleOne> radioaktivstorm: try asking in #kubuntu they might have a link handy
[15:50] <etienne__> bon jaimerai me creer un compte thunderbird Mail mais je sais pas comnent faire ...
[15:50] <Vinx> etienne__: tu as déjà un compte sur une messagerie ?
[15:50] <puplin> Scottc: it didn't do that for me

[15:50] <Scottc> puplin: I had it create a new partition from free space in the partition my windows was installed to
[15:50] <Scottc> and no, changing menu.lst didn't fix it
[15:51] <Scottc> it damaged the volume information
[15:51] <alanbshepard70> Scottc: I started using linux as a complete newbie and that didn't happen to me either. Ubuntu is actually one of best and easiest to use distros of linux I tried and I've tried over 50 mainstream distros

[15:51] <puplin> Scottc: well that's quite possible
[15:51] <alison> puplin: my Synaptic Package Manager says i do have compile-fuzion installed but Under System -> Preferences -> there is no Desktop Effect.
[15:51] <Scottc> In trying to fix it, I found myself unable to boot into ubuntu as well
[15:51] <puplin> if you took from your xp partition
[15:51] <alison> is that normal?
[15:51] <brobostigon> scottc: i am very sorry you had a bad experience.
[15:51] <Tyczek> did somebody install new ati 8.1?
[15:51] <puplin> alison: compiz-fusion?
[15:51] <Scottc> The thing is I had no backups at all
[15:51] <Tyczek> I can't restart X now ;/
[15:51] <Vinx> etienne__: change de canal. Tu as #ubuntu-fr
[15:51] <IdleOne> etienne__: s.v.p utilise l'englais ici
[15:52] <Scottc> and very little of my code was stored in an SVN
[15:52] <alison> yes compiz-fusion sorry
[15:52] <Scottc> So I may or may not have lost a little over 2 years of time
[15:52] <puplin> alison: try going ALT+F2 and then entering "compiz --replace"
[15:52] <mrichman> Hello? Can someone help me get through my install please? I dont know what username and password the installer requires
[15:52] <Vinx> etienne__: /join #ubuntu-fr
[15:52] <alison> ok
[15:52] <troubled> Scottc: accidental delete?
[15:52] <LjL> mrichman: hm? you should decide them, i think.
[15:52] <juso> Anyone know of a way to easily enabled and siabled a specific cronjob, that I can script it?
[15:52] <Jack_Sparrow> alison: Is it an ati video card by chance
[15:52] <alanbshepard70> Scottc: If you are or have experienced data loss turn off the computer immediately, place the hard drive in another computer copy off your needed files so nothing you want gets overwritten
[15:52] <Scottc> no
[15:53] <yannick_lm> Scottc, even if you can't boot on windows
[15:53] <brobostigon> mrichman: the live cd has no username or password,
[15:53] <bazhang> mrichman: mrrichman would be a good choice :}
[15:53] <mrichman> LjL: i dont think the installer should be presenting a GUI login
[15:53] <yannick_lm> the partition could be accessible from linux
[15:53] <Scottc> i'm on an old 15 GB HD that I just installed windows on
[15:53] <alison> i am not sure.
[15:53] <puplin> Scottc: can you access the hdd from ubuntu
[15:53] <mrichman> bazhang: its not asking me to pick a username...its prompting me to LOG IN
[15:53] <LjL> mrichman: the installer, or the Live CD itself? i.e. when you say "GUI login", you mean a plain login screen to let you access GNOME?
[15:53] <puplin> alison:  did you try the command i gave?
[15:53] <mrichman> LjL: yeah the yellowish X window login
[15:53] <LjL> mrichman: that's not normal, no.
[15:53] <bazhang> mrichman: ubuntu? what version?
[15:54] <Scottc> I can't boot from ubuntu any more
[15:54] <mrichman> this is 7.10...i just downloaded and burned it
[15:54] <brobostigon> scottc: being an old hdd, it may already be dieing, and that may be the problem.
[15:54] <Scottc> I'm using a completely different HD, the one with all the important shit is disconnected
[15:54] <LjL> mrichman: try "ubuntu" with no password - but it's not normal anyway.
[15:54] <alison> Jack_Sparrow: i just tried to change the "Visual Effects" from Normal to Extra: but it said it cannot be enabled
[15:54] <Scottc> no no...
[15:54] <Scottc> I put in an old HD so I could at least boot up the computer
[15:54] <alison> Puplin: not yet im still trouble shooting
[15:54] <puplin> alison: try that command
[15:54] <mrichman> LjL: is there a nongraphical install mode so i can watch for errors?
[15:54] <ada1> mrbostigon i don't have access to transfer that file into etc network
[15:54] <shishio> anyone know what program i can use to run perl? i wanna practice it
[15:54] <IdleOne> Scottc: the word is onfi and not sh....
[15:54] <alison> does that --purge it or remove it?
[15:54] <IdleOne> info not onfi
[15:54] <Jack_Sparrow> alison: Could you post your xorg to the pastebin for us
[15:54] <LjL> mrichman: yes and no... it's a different CD.
[15:54] <LjL> !alternate > mrichman    (mrichman, see the private message from Ubotu)
[15:54] <puplin> alison: no
[15:54] <shishio> anyone know what program i can use to run perl? i wanna practice it... im using ubuntu 6.10
[15:55] <Scottc> IdleOne: hm?
[15:55] <puplin> alison: that runs it
[15:55] <shishio> anyone know what program i can use to run perl? i wanna practice it... im using ubuntu 7.10
[15:55] <LjL> !repeat | shishio
[15:55] <ubotu> shishio: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[15:55] <IdleOne> Scottc: watch the language please
[15:55] <alison> ok puplin: did that
[15:55] <alison> my screen flickered 2 times
[15:55] <puplin> and what did it do?
[15:55] <brobostigon> ada1: do you have a floppy, usb flash, usb hdd, some thing like that??
[15:55] <LjL> shishio: "program to run perl" - i have no idea what you mean
[15:55] <shishio> sry, i typed wrong
[15:55] <NixPanther> Any ideas on a cdrom and dvd drive that aparantly don't exist? I rn gutsy w/ all updates. Cd is set to master, dvd to slave. Only the cdrom is showing and I get the error /dev/hdb does not exist when I try to mount it.
[15:55] <puplin> alison: what do your window decorations look like?
[15:55] <alison> looks the same
[15:55] <shishio> Ljt: a program that can write and run perl script
[15:56] <ada1> mrbostigon what i'm saying is you can copy the file into the hd folder.  it doesn't let you
[15:56] <puplin> alison: like what: the default gnome ones?
[15:56] <LjL> shishio, you can use your favorite text editor to write perl scripts. then to run them, just type "perl scriptname" in a shell.
[15:56] <LjL> !code > shishio    (shishio, see the private message from Ubotu)
[15:56] <ada1> mrbostigon besides it's the same exact file
[15:56] <alison> yes
[15:56] <alison> the default human gnome
[15:56] <shishio> Ljt: kk ill try ty
[15:56] <puplin> alison: ok
[15:57] <Jack_Sparrow> alison: Run this from a terminal please   (Use shift to paste)    cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/Desktop/xorg.conf.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T)
[15:57] <alison> puplin: Less than 65536kb of memory and nVidiaaborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity
[15:57] <Scottc> Is there any way I can get rid of the partition that Ubuntu created?
[15:57] <Scottc> my old XP CD isn't even seeing any partitions now even though theres still a good one on the drive
[15:57] <brobostigon> ada1: you havelost me now.
[15:57] <todd> hello all
[15:57] <bazhang> hi todd
[15:57] <puplin> alison: try sudo apt-get install compiz compiz-core compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-gnome
[15:58] <ada1> it's the same file bro.   same exactly nothing differen.t  so it does not make sense to replace it
[15:58] <todd> i'm popping in because i'm curious if anyone here is using either an eeepc or plans to get the cloudbook
[15:58] <alison> jack_sparrow: nothing happend
[15:58] <alison> ok puplin:
[15:58] <bazhang> todd #eeepcd
[15:58] <Jack_Sparrow> alison: Look for a file on your desktop and open it
[15:58] <brobostigon> ada1: cpy its contents, that the network connection setting
[15:58] <bazhang> oops todd #eeepc
[15:58] <alison> ok found it
[15:58] <ada1> it's the same contents
[15:59] <chazco> My USB keyboard doesnt always work in Gusty. If I move it to another card then it will usually start working. The keyboard is fine, and both USB cards work fine... any ideas? Dmesg seems to say the same regardless...
[15:59] <alison> anything in paticular i am looking in the zorg.conf file Jack_Sparrow
[15:59] <Jack_Sparrow> alison: Look for your video card type in there..  I suspect ati
[15:59] <alison> ati? no its nvidia
[15:59] <alison> its really old though
[15:59] <puplin> Jack_Sparrow: if you saw the error message, it said nvidia
[15:59] <ada1> mrbostigon the problem is that my wireless is detected just fine from live cd, but after install it's not.  and i only have one interenet connecttion.  the router is not available to me.
[16:00] <ada1> mrbostigon so i can't plug in
[16:00] <puplin> alison: did you try the installation i told you?
[16:00] <Jack_Sparrow> puplin: No didnt see the error msg..
[16:00] <alison> please dont laugh okay, it's 	Identifier	"nVidia Corporation NV11DDR [GeForce2 MX200]"
[16:00] <alison> puplin it's doing it now
[16:00] <brobostigon> ada1: you have lost me, i have no idea any further, sorry
[16:00] <puplin> alison: yeah kinda old.. but it might still work
[16:00] <[gquit]bombadil> i compiled the newest version of pidgin and checkinstall, so why does synaptic autoupdate say i need to update pidgin to an old version?
[16:00] <kestir> I'm trying to add multiple windows to the compiz windows rules settings (skip taskbar) but it will only accept one.
[16:01] <alanbshepard70> Is there a text editor for linux that operates as text editor does in windows? It really bugs me when I'm trying to open a file/document with non-standard characters and the default ubuntu text editor just tells me the file cannot be displayed where as the windows editor just does it's best and will show odd characters
[16:01] <kestir> Does anyone know how to add more than one?  I have title=title1 &title=titleb &title=titlec
[16:01] <bazhang> ada1: do you have the livecd still?
[16:01] <ada1> My problem is wireless doesn't work.  But from LiveCD my wireless does work.  Is there any way to copy the settings from the live CD, to the HD, so I can use wireless without using the Live CD
[16:01] <alison> almost done puplin:
[16:01] <Jack_Sparrow> [gquit]bombadil: You didnt need to compile it.. you could have gotten a built deb from getdeb.com that would work just fine
[16:01] <NixPanther> alanbshepard70, try openoffice :-)
[16:01] <puplin> ok
[16:01] <kestir> it works perfectly with just "title=titlea" but if i add more it doesn't work

[16:02] <alison> wait i just did System - Preferances
[16:02] <alison> i see "Advanced Desktop Effects Icon"
[16:02] <bazhang> ada1: ubuntu?
[16:02] <ada1> yeah
[16:02] <puplin> alison: yes
[16:02] <CK_L> why my realplayer cant watch movie smoothly ?
[16:02] <brobostigon> why should the live cd behave differently to a real install??
[16:02] <[gquit]bombadil> Jack_Sparrow: my compiled version works just fine, its that synaptic sees an older version as an "upgrade"
[16:02] <puplin> did you try compiz --replace?
[16:02] <todd> well my curiosity was about putting running traditional ubuntu or xubuntu on the cloudbook instead of gOS
[16:02] <bazhang> ada1 open the terminal
[16:03] <LjL> [gquit]bombadil: perhaps you told checkinstall to give it a lower version number
[16:03] <LjL> [gquit]bombadil: apt-cache policy pidgin
[16:03] <alanbshepard70> NixPanther: I try to avoid openoffice for these types of tasks because I just want a quick peak at the file and openoffice takes a long time to load for me, plus I hate splash screens
[16:03] <alison> but the icon doesnt look right puplin: it looks weird
[16:03] <bazhang> todd:  that would be better to discuss in #eeepc
[16:03] <alison> it has a App Logo and a Rench?
[16:03] <branstrom> I want to repair the superblock of an ext3 partition - http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Advanced_Find_EXT2_EXT3_Backup_SuperBlock
[16:03] <ada1> bazhang.  yeah ubuntu, that's what i'm using.  Ubuntu.  7.1  just installed it.  i like it
[16:03] <ada1> bazhang.  ok
[16:03] <brobostigon> alanbshepard70: try gedit
[16:03] <[gquit]bombadil> LjL: it says that it wants to "upgrade" from 2.3.1 to 1.2.1
[16:03] <branstrom> Need to know what block size my disk is
[16:03] <branstrom> or rather partition
[16:03] <puplin> alison: just go in your terminal and enter "compiz --replace" (without quotes)
[16:03] <todd> alright i guess... it's just that my interest isn't in teh eeepc itself, but i'll pop over htere and check. thanks baz
[16:03] <branstrom> How do I display the block size?
[16:03] <bazhang> ada1: is this a usb dongle or an internal card
[16:04] <alison> yeah puplin i did
[16:04] <alison> i got this
[16:04] <ada1> bazhang usb
[16:04] <ada1> popular ard, everybody has them
[16:04] <ada1> walmart $30
[16:04] <bazhang> ada1: is is attached now?
[16:04] <ada1> of course, it is how i access the internet
[16:04] <bkar> branstrom isnt it 8193 as the start of second block?
[16:05] <LjL> [gquit]bombadil: that would be 2.2.1 i suppose. it might be that packages from gutsy-security and gutsy-updates have a high priority by default
[16:05] <ada1> bazhang yeah it's my only internet connection
[16:05] <bazhang> ada1 in terminal type lsusb and tell me the name of the dongle (dont paste here in the channel)
[16:05] <bkar> ada1 we guess wrong sometimes, so you have to tell
[16:05] <branstrom> bkar: the block size is different
[16:05] <alanbshepard70> brobostigon: That's what I normally use and I get the message about unknown character encoding. I'll just keep checking the repos.
[16:05] <branstrom> bkar: or what do you mean?
[16:05] <chazco> My USB keyboard doesnt always work in Gusty. If I move it to another card then it will usually start working. The keyboard is fine, and both USB cards work fine... any ideas? Dmesg seems to say the same regardless...
[16:05] <branstrom> bkar: you talking about the superblock? I used testdisk to locate backup superblocks
[16:05] <puplin> alison: what happened?
[16:05] <fx|RabBit> laz0r: i dont get the clue of that xinput thing can you help me with that, pls?
[16:06] <alison> i think it broke
[16:06] <ada1> Bus 004 Device 003: ID 050d:705a Belkin Components
[16:06] <branstrom> like they describe on that page
[16:06] <branstrom> http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Advanced_Find_EXT2_EXT3_Backup_SuperBlock
[16:06] <[gquit]bombadil> LjL: yeah, they're listed as "high priority security updates"
[16:06] <alison> did you read my PM puplin?
[16:06] <ada1> bazhang Bus 004 Device 003: ID 050d:705a Belkin Components
[16:06] <puplin> alison: no i didn't get it
[16:06] <bkar> branstrom yeah i was thinking of superblocks
[16:06] <bazhang> alison alt f2 compiz --replace (not in the terminal)
[16:06] <puplin> bazhang: no in the terminal
[16:06] <puplin> that gives error messages
[16:06] <[gquit]bombadil> LjL: is there anyway to ignore them, or will it keep on bothering me to install an old version over my new version?
[16:06] <LjL> [gquit]bombadil: i'm afraid i don't know how to get around that... here's a document that might help, though

[16:07] <bazhang> ada1 have you looked on the internet and ubuntuforums or is this your first stop?
[16:07] <martianlobster> is the version number for Gutsy,  8?
[16:07] <doragonboru> salut tlm
[16:07] <bazhang> 7.10 martianlobster
[16:07] <martianlobster> bazhang: THANKS
[16:07] <brobostigon> martianlobster: 7.10
[16:07] <bkar> branstrom i honestly thought they got rid of that superblock thing in ext3 and use the journalling, which i dont know how to recover .
[16:08] <puplin> alison: are you trying to pm me?
[16:08] <martianlobster> brobostigon: and the version for Feisty is 6?
[16:08] <bazhang> puplin: you got this covered?
[16:08] <brobostigon> martianlobster: no idea.
[16:08] <alison> yes
[16:08] <alison> i am
[16:08] <ada1> i've looked everywhere bazhang.  but the prob is this is my only internet connection  i don't have access to the router so i can't plug in.  so if i had a prolem with any of the guides i have to reboot 100 times to ask questions to you guys.  it takes too too too long and is certainly not feasible or practical.  That's why i am here and am wondering, is there anyway to solve this problem from being booted from the livecd itself?
[16:08] <puplin> alison: hold on one sec
[16:09] <alison> lets join #ally_xoxo
[16:09] <Niux> would this be the place to ask for help with Mint ? or is there a mint channel
[16:09] <kestir> I am trying to add multiple windows to the "Skip Taskbar" rule in the "Window Rules" section of ccsm.  I am able to add a single window with "title=mytitle" but if I add another like "title=mytitlea & title=mytitleb" it stops working.

[16:09] <bazhang> mint channel Niux
[16:09] <ada1> bazhang.  but the problem is that this is such a popular adapter, and my computer is in good shape...so i don't understand what is going on here.  this should be relatively simple to fix.
[16:09] <Scottc> how can I kill the partitions ubuntu completely screwed up?
[16:09] <LjL> Scottc, we really don't need to know.
[16:09] <LjL> !ohmy

[16:10] <bazhang> Scottc: you want to reinstall windows and ubuntu?
[16:10] <Scottc> hell no
[16:10] <bkar> Scottc-> format it via cfdisk once you make a backup of it, just in case
[16:10] <kestir> nickrud: gotcha, thanks man
[16:10] <Scottc> I dont want to touch ubuntu with a ten foot pole
[16:10] <bazhang> Niux: best install ubuntu then :}
[16:10] <Scottc> I want to reinstall windows without having to reformat my D partition
[16:10] <bazhang> Scottc: then please see ##windows
[16:10] <Niux> bazhang: hehe i had. wanted to try mint tho
[16:10] <Scottc> bkar: whats cfdisk?
[16:10] <Scottc> Ubuntu screwed it up, thats why i'm here.
[16:11] <bkar> Scottc-> ask ##windows
[16:11] <Scottc> #windows doesn't know how ubuntu screwed up my partition.
[16:11] <bazhang> Niux: until you do no help :{
[16:11] <bazhang> Scottc: you are pushing your luck here

[16:11] <Papageno> I want to install Ubuntu on some computer but the computer isn't going to be used where it is and only through SSH so running Gnome and such is a waste of its resources (it's and old computer). Is Ubuntu simply Gnome and special GUI packages on top of Debian so that I might as well install Debian or is it more than that? If I want the simplicity of Ubuntu (including the simplicity of its installation) on a computer that will only be accessed by SSH wh
[16:11] <Papageno> at should I do without wasting its scarce resources?
[16:11] <Niux> bazhang: i know ^^
[16:11] <Scottc> The least you could do is help me out considering Ubuntu screwed my partition up.
[16:11] <westis> hi there. I'm running Ubuntu 6.06 and trying to apt-get upgrade. But when it comes to MySQL it hangs when it tries to stop it. When I then ran apt-get update again I had to manually run dpkg --configure -a but then it hangs again when it tries to stop mysql. I can stop it manually with /etc/init.d/mysql stop. But again same with dpkg and apt-get upgrade. What can I do? It's MySQL 5.0.22. And it seems to be the post-instal
[16:12] <bazhang> Scottc: ubuntu? we are trying to help you--but you want to install windows--that is not for this channel
[16:12] <brobostigon> scottc: first/ backup anything importent,
[16:12] <wolv> Does anyone know what the command would be to switch workspaces under xfce?  I am trying to tie it to a mouse shortcut and can't find anything on the forums.
[16:12] <bkar> Papageno-> why not state your client host requirements instead of stating this cant do nor that nor the other
[16:13] <mikeconcepts> no sound Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R need help - just installed 64 bit gutsy Q6600 Intel processor
[16:13] <niuq> i friend tried to install ubuntu, and get this message when he put his cd  [some number]hdd: timeout waiting for DMA
[16:13] <Papageno> bkar, how do you mean? Do you want me to state the computer specs as well as what I would want to run on it?
[16:13] <bazhang> Scottc: ubuntu? you perhaps made an error--that is not the domain of ubuntu--if you wish help with an ubuntu install then please stay and we will help--but saying ubuntu is ... will not garner support here
[16:13] <erUSUL> Papageno: install the server version
[16:13] <nickrud> Scottc: I agree philosophically with you, helping you return to what you had before: but I don't think anyone will ignore your abuse out of the kindness of their hearts.
[16:13] <bkar> Scottc-> you get a copy of ultimate boot cd, it repairs windows i think, but do not forget its linux behind it
[16:13] <Papageno> erUSUL: What does the server edition consist of? What is it?
[16:14] <sams_gibbon> hi ppl
[16:14] <LjL> !server > Papageno    (Papageno, see the private message from Ubotu)
[16:14] <n0ise> héhé hello
[16:14] <sams_gibbon> gota doubt... can someone tell me if i can reinstall my xp with ubuntu 7.10 already installed?
[16:14] <ada1> bazhang i've been everywhere man.  i just want to know if it's posible to fix my problem while i'm still on the livecd
[16:14] <Pirate-King> anybody using vdr with ubuntu?
[16:15] <puplin> sams_gibbon: yes
[16:15] <rich__> how do i list the vmware channels?
[16:15] <ada1> bkar can you help me out?
[16:15] <bkar> Papageno-> in simple terms, what will those clients host do for you, and yeah sure what are the specs of the hardware?
[16:15] <puplin> sams_gibbon: you will have grub problems thoug
[16:15] <puplin> *though
[16:15] <Johnny_5> but y would u want 2 go back 2 windowz
[16:15] <nickrud> !grub | sams_gibbon: yes, after you reinstall your windows go here
[16:15] <ubotu> sams_gibbon: yes, after you reinstall your windows go here: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.     Fu#$ parents.  sorry.  thank you very much for your help....hopefully, if i'm still alive at the end of this trip i can come back.
[16:19] <rinaldi_> nuiq: you might want to try checking the cd for errors on the first menu
[16:19] <tyczek> nickrud, ok...
[16:19]  * nickrud has a _great_ heart ;p
[16:19] <bazhang> too true

[16:19] <bkar> ada1 alright just be patient
[16:20] <martinw> When converting jpeg images to a timelapse video the quality (bad to begin with) is terrible. I assume this is because ogg is lossy and jpeg is as well. What codec should I use?
[16:20] <crispy-afk> I have a problem with the onboard sound on a NF4 board. The problem is described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=346027&page=1 and it seems like someone solved the problem here: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/bug_view_advanced_page.php?bug_id=2637 - HOWEVER the problem is still in ubuntu 7.10 - i cant get the ALSA system to pass ac3 sound to my reciever :(
[16:20] <mikeconcepts> does ubuntu support sending audio through HDMI video output connected to Sony 40" TV?
[16:21] <crispy-afk> Maybe ubuntu is using a hopelessly old ALSA driver?
[16:22] <Blinkiz> I would like to change how date and time is presented on my linux box. Is it possible to change this?
[16:23] <brobostigon> Blinkiz: right click on your clock in gnome, and choose prferences.
[16:24] <Blinkiz> brobostigon: My current date is day/month/year. I would like it to be year-month-day. Is it possible to change this on ubuntu without changing the language?
[16:25] <wolv> How would I map middle-click to close the window with focus?
[16:25] <`Zmax`> Does anyone have a Samsung i600 for a little tip, please?
[16:26] <rinaldi_> !anyone | `Zmax`
[16:26] <ubotu> `Zmax`: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[16:26] <brobostigon> Blinkiz: i cant find not remeber where, sorry
[16:26] <`Zmax`> lol rinaldi_ XD
[16:27] <Ward1983> erm... firefox won't go on the internet anymore, internetradio and gaim are working, synaptic also can't download packages
[16:27] <Ward1983> what can be wrong?
[16:27] <`Zmax`> rinaldi_, do you have an i600 ?
[16:27] <rinaldi_> `Zmax`: i have a samsung
[16:27] <brobostigon> Ward1983: you dns may be playing up, possibly??not sure though??
[16:27] <`Zmax`> rinaldi_, the i600 is a smartphone, I'd like to connect to Linux to use as a modem/router
[16:27] <bauer_> kbrooks: Did not work the first time, but now it works :-)
[16:28] <Ward1983> brobostigon, any suggestions? i never had trouble before with linux and internet
[16:28] <kbrooks> bauer_, what di not?
[16:28] <`Zmax`> rinaldi_, it uses Active Sync to connect in Windows...
[16:28] <`Zmax`> rinaldi_, any tip?
[16:28] <DRebellion> Ward1983: are you able to use dns?
[16:28] <rinaldi_> `Zmax`: so you want to use the pda as a modem?
[16:28] <DRebellion> Ward1983: eg. can you run the command 'dig www.google.com' successfully?
[16:28] <brobostigon> Ward1983: check that your dns,is working, that sounds possible to me, but couldnt advise any further, dot no alot about networking, sorry
[16:29] <Ward1983> DRebellion, my pings to goole return so i guess dns is fine?
[16:29] <DRebellion> Ward1983: hmm
[16:29] <bkar> `Zmax`-> look into googling for ubuntu + CPRS
[16:29] <Ward1983> brobostigon, my pings to google return, so i guess ym dns is fine?

[16:30] <Ward1983> DRebellion, brobostigon let me test other comps jsut a sec
[16:30] <`Zmax`> rinaldi_, yes, but in /dev/ there isn't any tty* device node referred to that device
[16:30] <nikin> is there any program to to capture a video device.. resize the image and then stream it inside an other (fake) vidodevice witch can be used as a webcam?
[16:30] <bkar> Ward1983-> did you try to close and kill firefox and then re start it? maybe firefox hanged ?
[16:30] <nickrud> Ward1983: did you set a proxy for any reason?
[16:31] <xomp> real quick guys/gals. I need to reinstall ubuntu, is there a way to format my disk before hand? I noticed after booting from the CD it doesn't give me the "install" icon on the desktop as it did the very first time.

[16:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fdisk - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[16:32] <filthpig> hi all, is there seriously no Flash Player for 64 bit linux yet? :/ Gnash SORTA works, but it won't work on i.e. myspace :s
[16:32] <nickrud> !flash64 | filthpig
[16:32] <ubotu> filthpig: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[16:32] <tostado> hi I'm installing feisty with FAI, and have console/font problems with german environment
[16:32] <tostado> can someone help me please ?
[16:33] <nikin> is there any program to to capture a video device.. resize the image and then stream it inside an other (fake) vidodevice witch can be used as a webcam? or ani other way to make a webcam not clip but resize the image when set to lower resolution?
[16:33] <brobostigon> tostado: what is FAI??
[16:33] <bkar> rinaldi_-> i believe thats what the service is called in the USA, in europe it maybe named differently, the bottomline, it uses hayes modem like command to dial and ppp to establish the tcp/ip stuff
[16:33] <DRebellion> !repeat | nikin
[16:33] <ubotu> nikin: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience

[16:34] <nikin> my beloved ubotu... i understand what you say but stil i have this problem for 3 months now :D so althrough you are a bot... open your metalic heart and feel my pain and anger
[16:35] <rinaldi_> `Zmax`: i see ok yes have a look for "gprs easy connect" which will allow you to do such things if you are in europe as bkar said
[16:35] <Cromag> nikin: it is a bot.
[16:35] <Cromag> if you did not know.
[16:35] <tostado> nickrud: installed, dpkg-reconfigure console-data doesn't work too
[16:35] <nikin> Cromag: i now.. read before you comment :P plz
[16:35] <brobostigon> cromag: nikin knew
[16:36] <`Zmax`> ok rinaldi_ I'll try
[16:36] <jonathan_> Is there any way to get keyboard keys to emulate mouseclicks in Ubuntu?
[16:36] <Cromag> 1 word i missed :x
[16:36] <Cromag> how can i ...
[16:36] <Cromag> my bad :)
[16:36] <ward_> DRebellion, brobostigon, a reset of the router and reconnection of the modem solved it
[16:36] <DRebellion> ward_: excellent
[16:37] <rinaldi_> `Zmax`: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Communications/Telephony/GPRS-Easy-Connect-4528.shtml it supports over 200 phones apparently
[16:37] <tostado> the strange problem is: i can loin remote to the wrongly-configured-box , create a file with german umlauten, from remote it looks ok, but local it looks like garbage
[16:37] <nickrud> tostado: hm, console-data also suggests unicode-data, maybe that?
[16:38] <nikin> Does anone knows a way to stream one vidodevice to an other , and resize the image inbetween. the application i want to use only supports 160x120
[16:38] <tostado> ok i try with unicode-data
[16:38] <nickrud> tostado: but my language stuff is theoretical, I'm monolingual. I've played with the stuff but not seriously
[16:39] <`Zmax`> wow rinaldi_
[16:39] <Ranbee> can someone please tell me if they can get to rapidshare? - rapidshare.com i can't get there!
[16:39] <filthpig> nickrud, hmm, since flash is the only one I want I tried to install nspluginwrapper as described, got told that it's already installed and everything's the same
[16:39] <EneRgiE> hi
[16:40] <nickrud> filthpig: I used the firefox32 thing. Flash was broken when I installed this 64bit, so I never tried the nspluginwrapper stuff

[16:43] <hellop1> I have a booted up live CD of Ubuntu 7.10.  If I remove programs now via add/remove programs, then click install, will the programs I removed be installed on the HD?
[16:43] <bkar> hellop1-> nope, only on the ramfs
[16:43] <nickrud> hellop1: no, they will disappear when you shut down the live cd
[16:44] <chewd> okay, my ubuntu project for today is: getting xine to work... right now its got no sound
[16:44] <STrRedWolf> Heya.  Is anyone getting a "dpkg: error: PATH is not set" when updating via apt-get or aptitude?
[16:44] <fanfan> oui je sais mais je n aie toujour pas de reponse
[16:44] <tostado> nickrud, ok i try there uff, 4th channel same question ;)
[16:44] <tostado> but thanks !
[16:44] <nickrud> tostado: heh.
[16:44] <hellop1> bkar, nickrud,  notice I said remove, not install using add/remove
[16:44] <chewd> i think the problem relates to the fact that im not using my onboard sound, but a PCI soundcard
[16:45] <bkar> hellop1-> notice i said ramfs, not hard disk
[16:45] <chewd> anybody knowledgeable about this?
[16:45] <reinis> how do I use ifconfig to list or scan wireless networks?
[16:45] <brobostigon> ue synaptic to install and or remove software
[16:45] <nickrud> hellop1: ah, you want to work in the hard disk install from the live cd?
[16:45] <hellop1> Let me rephrase, when installing Ubuntu, to make a slimmer system, should I remove programs during the live boot, or after the HD install?
[16:45] <chewd> although i guess it could be a codec issue
[16:45] <nickrud> hellop1: after the install
[16:45] <STrRedWolf> Hellop1:  After.
[16:45] <walkies> hello
[16:46] <bkar> reinis-> use iwconfig
[16:46] <hellop1> Ok, so it installs everything from the CD, it doesn't take your Live setup and put that on the HD..   correct?
[16:46] <bkar> reinis-> use iwconfig wlan0 scan
[16:46] <walkies> I was wondering if it would be possible to backport ubuntu to were it was using just the debian sid sources with ubuntu-like configurations
[16:46] <reinis> bkar: thanks
[16:46] <nickrud> hellop1: correct.
[16:46] <hellop1> Thanks for the info.
[16:47] <STrRedWolf> hellop1: Yes.  I'm doing the same thing now, installing Xubuntu and stripping it down.
[16:47] <reinis> bkar: iwconfig: unknown command "scan"
[16:47]  * STrRedWolf is just running into a "dpkg PATH is not set" issue.
[16:47] <nickrud> walkies: not very easily done, there will be many broken configs and packages.
[16:47] <brobostigon> reinis: iwlist
[16:47] <Tails1> lots of folks here :D
[16:47] <hellop1> STrRedWolf  great minds install ubuntu at the same time
[16:47] <bkar> reinis-> you are right, i meant iwlist.. i need more coffe to wake up
[16:48] <nickrud> hellop1: you might find the mini install cd interesting, it's a 10mb install that you can customize to your hearts content
[16:48] <reinis> hmm, it gives no scan results
[16:48] <walkies> well, I'd like to switch to debian, and I've gotten a system installed, but ubuntu has better hardware detection and detects my wireless
[16:48] <bkar> reinis-> do this first, iwconfig wlan  and see if you see a line wireless
[16:48] <STrRedWolf> walkies:  I avoid Debian like the plague due to their politics.
[16:48] <walkies> where do I find out how it is that ubuntu loads wireless up
[16:49] <hellop1> nickrud, well  ideally for me would be mandrakeish, all packages on disk, then I select the ones I want, instead of waiting to d/l them.
[16:49] <hellop1> I think d/ling hurts the economy
[16:49] <reinis> bkar, no such line there
[16:49] <nickrud> hellop1: that doesn't compute, hurting the economy
[16:49] <brobostigon> STrRedWolf: why ubuntu then, if you avoid debian you should ubuntu to, ubuntu is based on debian??
[16:49]  * nickrud backspaces, brobostigon said it for me
[16:50] <XLV> hellop1, download the dvd image
[16:50] <bkar> reinis-> iwconfig wlan0 nothing show as wireless?
[16:50] <reinis> it's eth1, and no
[16:50] <walkies> STredwolf, what about the politics of ubuntu?
[16:50] <bkar> reinis-> then you dont have a wireless nic or it has not be activated yet
[16:50] <dirtyhand> hey guys I used a script to intall a web stack on my ubuntu server, but I cant find the installation path of apache2 (/etc/apache2 not working)
[16:50] <dirtyhand> any ideas
[16:50] <STrRedWolf> walkies:  Oh so much better.
[16:50] <reinis> bkar, I do have it, but it's problematic :/
[16:51] <hellop1> XLV  I should  tks
[16:51] <bkar> dirtyhand-> look at your script how it installed the apache2, use an editor to look at the script
[16:51] <maco> hello does this work?
[16:51] <nickrud> dirtyhand: what script? probaby in /opt somewhere
[16:51] <magnetik> is the chan to talk about hardy is #ubuntu-testing ?
[16:51] <nickrud> magnetik: #ubuntu+1
[16:51] <dirtyhand> nickrud: deprec
[16:51] <brobostigon> STrRedWolf: but debian and ubuntu and practicly the same.
[16:51] <bkar> reinis-> oh well, its common enuff...which wireless nic you have? brand?
[16:51] <magnetik> nickrud, ok, better, thanks ;)
[16:52] <reinis> bkar, I have a thread about it here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4166522
[16:52] <maco> yep, it does work
[16:52] <reinis> it's bcm4318

[16:52] <bkar> reinis-> i dont fell like reading right now, just summarize please
[16:52] <STrRedWolf> brobostigon: Nope.  There's different people managing it.  The package manager is the same, but different people handling the hsoftware.
[16:52] <nickrud> dirtyhand: what does deprec mean, I'm not real cluefull on irc shorthand
[16:52] <DRebellion> Breakage: mplayer
[16:52] <brobostigon> xmms
[16:53] <reinis> bkar: the wlan adapter doesn't work, probably because of not supporting pci 2.1
[16:53] <Breakage> DRebellion~ +1 on that just sound quality is good!
[16:53] <reinis> ifup doesn't recognize it, and it looks like a bug in ubuntu itself
[16:53] <bkar> reinis-> oh, bcm43xx.. known to change the color of your hair and gives you receeding hairlines
[16:53] <nickrud> STrRedWolf: many of the core people who do ubuntu are also deeply involved in debian ...
[16:53] <maco> Amarok is very good.
[16:53] <Breakage> brobostigon~ any difference form that and audacious?
[16:53] <reinis> bkar, I'm using the ndiswrapper driver now, not bcm43xx
[16:53] <DRebellion> Breakage: mp3 sound quality is rubbish anyway
[16:53] <brobostigon> breakage, they are similer
[16:53] <ikaruga3001> maco: it's ok
[16:54] <Breakage> maco~ will try that too, yep but I have so many mixes all compressed to mp3 :(
[16:54] <bkar> reinis-> yes, its a known problem child, you just have tokeep on reading ..someone may already have the solution
[16:54] <Breakage> brobostigon~ same sound quality?
[16:54] <reinis> bkar: probably not, pci 2.1 is quite esotheric/obsolete
[16:54] <rajasun> STrRedWolf: Ubuntu and Debian have largely the same developers. Especially the core ones like Sebastian Bacher, Colin Watson, Ben Mako Hill, etc
[16:55] <brobostigon> Breakage: i ue audacious, and am very happy, with all aspects.
[16:55] <nickrud> rajasun: name dropper ;p
[16:55] <wasdad> .
[16:55] <Breakage> brobostigon~ thanks will try that and amarok :)
[16:55] <bkar> reinis-> i dont even know what is pci 2.1, i know i am using pci, i am poor, old 1ghz puter i use
[16:55] <rajasun> ;)
[16:55] <rinaldi_> Breakage: a lot sound the same as they use same codecs, i use the experimental songbird or amarok
[16:55] <tbuss> I have 3 hdd's /dev/sda1 (windows) /dev/sdb1 (ubuntu) /dev/sdc1 (external drive). When I enter the grub menu on startup my windows partition is not avail, any suggestions
[16:55] <hellop> Disk cloning question:  Is it prefectly ok to overwrite partitions on a running system using nc?
[16:55] <wasdad> can somebody tell me how to install flashplayer when i type apt-get install flashplugin or flash i can't install it :S ?
[16:55] <erUSUL> !flash
[16:55] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[16:55] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[16:56] <reinis> bkar: it's an older spec for pci, you can tell that it's 2.1 if the slots are white
[16:56] <nickrud> !brokenflash (look for the blue text in the link)
[16:56] <wasdad> erUSUL: websites can't help me
[16:56] <Breakage> rinaldi_~ cool, will test songbird too.
[16:56] <bkar> tbuss-> you have to have an entry in the menu.lst for your windows to be selectable
[16:56] <devilsadvocate> hi. i just installed ubuntu and think i screwed up in the langauge settings. the address bar in firefox is filling up from right to left. can someone help me fix this? thanks
[16:56] <wasdad> erUSUL: websites can't help me
[16:56] <wasdad> erUSUL: why you don't help me here
[16:56] <n0y> hey, what about xmms2?
[16:56] <wasdad> i can be a helper to only write few commands like !flash !bitchx !irssi
[16:56] <nickrud> wasdad: go to the blue text on the forum page
[16:56] <bkar> reinis-> i guess i have that, i peeked at mine, and it is white color indeed
[16:57] <bazhang> Breakage: great user name :}
[16:57] <gp5st> i have an ibook g4 im trying to run fiety on, and it doesn't load
[16:57] <Breakage> bazhang~ lol, thanks :D
[16:57] <reinis> bkar: iirc white could also mean that it's "universal"
[16:57] <gp5st> it either sitds at a white screen or a black screen
[16:57] <nickrud> wasdad: why should we repeat stuff here that's easily done from a good (true, gotta be good) web page?
[16:57] <gp5st> sorry im not of more help,
[16:57] <speed> moin moin
[16:57] <wasdad> nickrud: ok if its easy tell me
[16:57] <bkar> reinis-> yes, me and my puter are universally older..haha
[16:57] <brobostigon> speed: moin
[16:57] <wasdad> nickrud: how to install it with apt-get
[16:58] <reinis> in any case, I haven't gotten anything resembling wlan working on this box on any os (tried fbsd/obsd/suse and now ubuntu)
[16:58] <erUSUL> wasdad: the name of the package is flashplugin-nonfree and as ubotu said is currently broken wait for a fix or follow the instructions
[16:58] <nickrud> wasdad: click the right version of flash on that page
[16:58] <speed> spricht hier jemand deutsch?
[16:58] <erUSUL> wasdad: given to wokaround the issue
[16:58] <wasdad> how to install it with apt-get
[16:58] <brobostigon> speed: ja
[16:58] <hellop> man..  gotta take off join/quit notices
[16:58] <reinis> I also have 2 wlan adapters that I tried
[16:58] <bazhang> !de | speed
[16:58] <gp5st> was: what are you installing?
[16:58] <ubotu> speed: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de
[16:58] <DRebellion> wasdad: did you just ignore ubotu AND nickrud ?!
[16:58] <erUSUL> wasdad:  quoting me --> flashplugin-nonfree and as ubotu said is currently broken
[16:58] <bkar> reinis-> then why are you struggling with such an old interface then? maybe you can get those el cheapo usb stick wifi nics?
[16:58] <speed> ok danke
[16:58] <wasdad> DRebellion: nope i didn't but websites can't help me
[16:59] <nickrud> wasdad: I'm a very patient man, but can't you read? apt-get flash is BROKEN
[16:59] <bazhang> hellop: you can block them
[16:59] <reinis> bkar: because I can't accept that the costs for those two wlan cards are sunken :)
[16:59] <azlon> if i have an ISO mounted and i want to install a package from it, how would i do that?
[16:59] <reinis> although I know I should
[17:00] <hellop> .
[17:00] <bkar> reinis-> sometimes we must take losses to go forward, like we lose our sweethearts/gf or whatever
[17:00] <tbuss> bkar, do Ijust add /dev/sda1 to the list
[17:00] <wasdad> nickrud: so i must install it manually?
[17:00] <bazhang> reinis: yeah, I have about three non working cards lying around
[17:00] <hellop> yeah  fsk  it's most of the traffic here
[17:00] <nickrud> wasdad: one last time: go to that forum page, find the blue text. It has been made easy for you while it's broken
[17:00] <bkar> tbuss-> i dont recall, what was your issue? you didnt respond quickly enuff earlier
[17:00] <brobostigon> reinis: i spent almost 2 months doing research, so i was absolutly sure i gor the right usb wifi adaptor, that would work.
[17:01] <gp5st>  anyone have experiance with ppc version?
[17:01] <wasdad> ok
[17:01] <wasdad> Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape,
[17:01] <wasdad> or Opera browser (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla):
[17:01] <wasdad> what to type now?
[17:01] <reinis> brobostigon: and it didn't? :)
[17:01] <DRebellion> wasdad: are you using mozilla, netscape or opera?
[17:01] <tbuss> bkar, I installed windows and reinstalled grub but there is not an option in the grub menu for windows on startup
[17:01] <bazhang> wasdad: the instructions are clear--please follow them
[17:01] <wasdad> mozilla
[17:01] <brobostigon> gp5st: i use gutsy ppc, but not much experience.
[17:01] <rinaldi_> gp5st: only basic, i use ps3
[17:01] <nickrud> wasdad: I've given you a simple explanation. I'm done
[17:01] <brobostigon> reinis: that stupid, not doing any research
[17:01] <bkar> tbuss oh okay, yeah you must add an entry to the grub/menu.lst for the windows
[17:02] <erUSUL> tbuss: add it yourself you can find an example on the menu.lst file (on the comments)
[17:02] <hellop> bro, only 2 months?  sheesh  I spent a year deciding what day to leave the house
[17:02] <gp5st> hmm
[17:02] <wasdad> people
[17:02] <wasdad> can you help me ?
[17:02] <wasdad> you said thats simple !
[17:02] <wasdad> :S
[17:02] <wasdad> so help me
[17:02] <FloodBot1> wasdad: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:02] <reinis> brobostigon: I did do research ^_^
[17:02] <{Nathan}> Whenever I try to run pidgin, literally nothing happens. I get no error messages and dmesg shows nothing.
[17:02] <brobostigon> reinis: sorry
[17:02] <gp5st> my ibook doesn't want to boot it, and there is something wrong with the disk, so....I was hoping to use it diskless
[17:02] <nickrud> nice to see floodbot not flooding more than the flooders :)
[17:02] <gp5st> rin: did you have any issues getting it to boot?
[17:03] <bazhang> hehe
[17:03] <syntaxerror55> wasdad, with what?
[17:03] <DRebellion> {Nathan}: tried running it from a terminal?
[17:03] <bkar> reinis-> you can donate it, perhaps some one in the not so 3rd world countries can use that card :)
[17:03] <wasdad> Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape,
[17:03] <wasdad> or Opera browser (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla):
[17:03] <wasdad> look this
[17:03] <reinis> bkar: err, I'm from a banana republic myself
[17:03] <bkar> reinis-> thats gold in japan and korea, bananas are mucho expensivo there :)
[17:04] <rinaldi_> gp5sf: no not at all it could just be the cd, try a different location or burn the disc again
[17:04] <hellop> awwwww   so much better   join quit join  I almost stabbed myself
[17:04]  * reinis can't figure out how to configure the wlan card manuall with ifconfig :/
[17:04] <DRebellion> reinis: use iwconfig
[17:04] <gp5st> rin: yeah, i was just hoping not as i don't have a burner avaiable right away
[17:04] <bkar> reinis-> look on the bright side, you have learned lots from testing on diff os right? so its not a loss
[17:05] <brobostigon> read man iwconfig
[17:05] <reinis> bkar: yes, it could be worse, heh
[17:05] <rinaldi_> gp5st: so you are currently trying to install but the cd won't boot right?
[17:05] <bkar> reinis-> there yah go, thats the spirit, look positive,  sell that unit to your best enemy in the neighborhood
[17:06] <bkar> hehe
[17:06] <gp5st> well, it got further this time
[17:06]  * nickrud thinks bkar has something there
[17:06] <gp5st> it freezes sometime after the splash
[17:06] <gp5st> rin: but it seems to be getting into gnome now, not usable, but further now, still loading
[17:06] <rinaldi_> gp5st: did you test the cd for errors on the first menu?
[17:07] <DRebellion> How can I remove nm-applet from the top right of my screen, left of the clock?
[17:07] <rinaldi_> gp5st: perhaps try safe graphics mode
[17:07] <gp5st> rin: there is now menu:-p but yes
[17:07] <bkar> DRebellion-> you right click and select the properties perhaps?
[17:07] <reinis> alteratively I could connect my box by wire, but then I'd go deaf :/
[17:08] <DRebellion> bkar: no, the only two options are "enable networking" and "about"
[17:08] <LauraSakura> I gotta take my HP notebook in to BestBuy to get the USB Ports fixed (AFAIK, they are physically broken... happened one at a time but the last one broke now). Problem is, I don't have WinXP on this anymore. Should I do the built in HP Sys Restore first that puts XP back on?
[17:08] <gp5st> rin: well damn, it's working now,  this is one messed up laptop, there hdd gets no power:-( but everything else works
[17:08] <nickrud> DRebellion: if you want to disable the nm-applet (and therefore NetworkManager) you have to remove it from your system
[17:08] <bkar> DRebellion-> oh right..you can kill the process for nm ;  killall network-manager maybe?
[17:08] <rinaldi_> gp5st: ok then :P
[17:08] <DRebellion> LauraSakura: can you just password protect your bios so it won't boot. that way the so called "techies" won't mess it up.
[17:09] <Johnny_utah> Anyone know how to move the AWN dock? I've got a dual monitor setup and it's bridging the two :\
[17:09] <nickrud> LauraSakura: probably a good idea, if you are under warranty
[17:09] <hellop> If I wanted to make a boot partition, how big should it be?
[17:09] <DRebellion> nickrud: hmmm. i have had very very bad experiences with wireless and i'll probably leave it as its working properly now :P
[17:09] <brobostigon> DRebellion: or stop it from loading at boot by disabling networnmanager in sessions.
[17:09] <hellop> 50MB?
[17:09] <fotoflo> whats the GnuPG package name?
[17:09] <nickrud> DRebellion: if you're doing wireless manually (in interfaces file) you can remove nm-applet safely
[17:10] <fotoflo> for aptget

[17:10] <DRebellion> syntaxerror55: ahh. sory didn't see that
[17:11] <LauraSakura> I know HP said that installing Linux doesn't void warrenty, but IDK how Best Buy feels about that. I backed up my home as well as /boot /var /etc and /sys. IDK about password protecting the BIOS because then they wouldnt be able to know if the ports were working right or not
[17:11] <nickrud> !clone | LauraSakura one more useful backup
[17:11] <ubotu> LauraSakura one more useful backup: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate

[17:12] <DRebellion> wasdad: PLEASE! Just enter the installation path of Mozilla. Just like it asks you. Maybe a better question is what is the installation path?

[17:22] <EdwardXP> reason why i use .wmv is because you all are running hacked codecs anyways,
[17:22] <erawfish> !ops please reign in the troll EdwardXP
[17:22] <EdwardXP> and i want to be universal
[17:22] <EdwardXP> erawfish, okay
[17:22] <CSRemmy> hello nickrud
[17:22] <hellop> nickrud,  yeah but.. it seems like a bug to me..  It's an option box with no options
[17:22] <CSRemmy> it's the apache noob from yesterday :P
[17:22] <hellboy195> nickrud: good tu know ;)
[17:22] <wasdad> tacone: i use firefox mozilla
[17:23] <nickrud> CSRemmy: hi back. And I know nothing about intel video :)
[17:23] <erawfish> !flashissue | wasdad
[17:23] <ubotu> wasdad: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[17:23] <ngabriel> hi everyone, i could use some help.  My system locked up yesterday and i forcefully powered it off.  When grub came up next, i got error 17.  I booted w/the live cd and tried to mount my linux partition and it looks like the volume is corrupt (from dmesg .... EXT3-fs: group descriptors corrupted!)!!
[17:23] <Onyx> EdwardXP: That should be an ogg file.
[17:23] <nickrud> hellboy195: lol, I was hoping you were asleep
[17:23] <CSRemmy> okay
[17:23] <cakedonkey> Edward, are you even a Ubuntu/Linux user.. ??
[17:23] <CSRemmy> erawfish:
[17:23] <EdwardXP> Onyx,  i know it was like 158mb.. when i use .wmv its' 58 megs :)
[17:23] <hellboy195> nickrud: ^^, np
[17:23] <stdin> !ot | EdwardXP
[17:23] <ubotu> EdwardXP: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[17:23] <Onyx> EdwardXP: It's still encoded as an ogg file though.
[17:24] <philipp_> anyone knows about a 3in1 file for iceweazel ?
[17:24] <wasdad> look erawfish
[17:24] <wasdad> Reading state information... Done
[17:24] <tacone> wasdad: "which firefox-bin" should give the right path
[17:24] <wasdad> flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version.
[17:24] <wasdad> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[17:24] <wasdad> tacone: i really don't understand i just want to you tell me what to type in term? for that error
[17:24] <EdwardXP> Onyx,  whats the difference between rpm and .deb file is it like a file system? ( it still works though right )  ???
[17:24] <spike> hi
[17:24] <CSRemmy> oh my god, please, tell me how to finish your instructions
[17:24] <erawfish> wasdad: you've already been told what the issue is. if you don't read, I don't want to help you. pleae leave me alone
[17:25] <tacone> wasdad: what's the problem you have right now?
[17:25] <Onyx> EdwardXP: they're separate package management systems
[17:25] <cristina> hi, i have 2 sound cards, after installimg ubuntu the 2'nd card worked, aftter installing the updates the firs card works, how can i set the card that is running?
[17:25] <spike> during install time apparently setting up an encrypted swap failed. is there a tool in ubuntu to deal with this kind of thing? some kind of disk utlity
[17:25] <Onyx> EdwardXP: Generally speaking, an rpm will not work on a deb-based distribution, and the opposite is true of debs on rpm-based distributions.
[17:25] <erawfish> spike: to do what rexactly? setting up swap is easy. make it encrypted less so
[17:25] <hellop> Should I put swap somewhere special  like at the end of the disk maybe?
[17:25] <nickrud> EdwardXP: a deb is sorta like a zip with smart install scripts. rpm is the same, but they are not compatible
[17:26] <wasdad>  'Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016)'
[17:26] <wasdad> in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter
[17:26] <EdwardXP> Onyx, > so i can be on red hat linux and ubuntu install .deb or .rpm wouldn't matter ( that codec video works for me though :D - im sure it will work for everyone else.. when its a .ogg its' 158mb)
[17:26] <wasdad> i ned desc lol ?
[17:26] <CSRemmy> erawfish: how do I enable DRM/DRI ?
[17:26] <spike> erawfish: with the alternate CD you can setup encrypted partition using dmcrypt. I'd like the same tool to be available in ubuntu
[17:26] <tacone> wasdad: can you send me a private msg ?
[17:26] <Onyx> EdwardXP: No.... debs work on ubuntu, rpms work on redhat/fedora.
[17:26] <spike> erawfish: so it updates initramfs and all, rather than doing it manually myself
[17:26] <wasdad> tacone: w8 to register it :)
[17:26] <hasan> red hat is based on the rpm package management system, whereas ubuntu on the debain system, it is not good to mix them
[17:26] <EdwardXP> nickrud,  unless you have that package magagement system for  red hat, its possible to install .deb package manager?
[17:26] <Onyx> EdwardXP: What I was trying to tell you is that regardless of the extension you used, that file is an ogg file
[17:26] <philipp_> anyone knows about a 3in1 file for iceweazel ?
[17:27] <wasdad> done tacone.
[17:27] <ompaul> EdwardXP, it matters, ubuntu is a dot deb and the internals of rpms can break badly if you try to install them here and that last question was offtopic
[17:27] <erawfish> spike: dpkg-reconfigure your kernel-image recreates the initrd, dunno about the rest
[17:27] <EdwardXP> Onyx,  ohh okay, but its less megabytes..
[17:27] <nickrud> EdwardXP: no, they have different assumptions about where stuff on the system is. You can convert from one to the other with   alien  , but it often fails because of those assumptions
[17:27]  * CSRemmy faceplants on a spike
[17:27] <stdin> EdwardXP: information on installing .debs on a rpm based system is off-topic here
[17:28] <CSRemmy> can I please get one answer?
[17:28] <EdwardXP> stdin,  bah
[17:28] <Onyx> CSRemmy: What are you trying to do?
[17:28] <CSRemmy> erawfish told me to enable DRM/DRI, I want to know how
[17:28] <DRebellion> CSRemmy: you want to install DRM ?? I hope i am misunderstanding you.
[17:28] <bazhang> not smart EdwardXP
[17:28] <NMajik> Where does linux/foo.h point?
[17:29] <spdf> off hand... does someone know how to link to another bug on launchpad in comments?
[17:29] <EdwardXP> >> cool thats' what i wanted to know my buddie is install pc soiliux 2007 so, he should go .deb instead of whats hes on otherwise he'll be on .src installs forever
[17:29] <EdwardXP> which can corrupt the system internally?
[17:29] <nickrud> spdf: I think all you have to do is enter the bug number
[17:29] <CSRemmy> I think I'm pretty sure that's what I want to do, DRebellion
[17:29] <hellop> CSRemmy   make sure DRI is in your Xorg config, U have the kernel module loaded...  search google for DRI
[17:29] <spdf> nickrud, Thanks
[17:29] <ompaul> spdf, #launchpad - if it is not obvious me guesses
[17:29] <msi> hi!
[17:29] <Onyx> EdwardXP: No, source installs will not corrupt the system -- you just need to know what's on your system, and where.
[17:29] <hellop> DRebellion, I think he means Accelerated video
[17:29] <ompaul> Onyx, their game is over
[17:30] <Onyx> ompaul: Heh, okay
[17:30] <CSRemmy> I just want to run a q3 dedicated server
[17:30] <fotoflo> every time i login into the terminal, it tells me when i last logged in... in a standard debian distrib, where  would the script that does that be located?
[17:30] <CSRemmy> and it's telling me that opengl isn't loading
[17:30] <hellop> CSRemmy, then U don't need DRI for just server, unless U want to play the game also on another core
[17:30] <Onyx> anyone know if it's normal to have to rebuild the nvidia kernel/drivers after upgrading xorg?
[17:30] <CSRemmy> well
[17:30] <CSRemmy> I need q3a to start
[17:30] <nickrud> Onyx: if you used the ones from their sites, yes
[17:31] <Onyx> nickrud: Cool, thanks :) -- just caught me off guard for a sec.
[17:31] <hellop> CSRemmy, you don't need a fancy Vid Card/DRI to run a game server
[17:31] <Onyx> nickrud: I'm using the ones from the nvidia site because I've got a custom kernel, so I figured that had something to do with it
[17:31] <CSRemmy> I understand that
[17:31] <philipp_> can anyone help me? i have a question
[17:31] <philipp_> anyone knows about a 3in1 file for iceweazel ?
[17:31] <ompaul> !ask | philipp_
[17:31] <ubotu> philipp_: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[17:32] <nickrud> Onyx: I've got to do that myself for the new kernel upgrade, but I decided to wait a couple weeks with the xorg fiasco
[17:32] <CSRemmy> but I'm saying that q3 dedicated server starts from in-game
[17:32] <hellop> CSRemmy, there must be CLI way to start it..
[17:32] <philipp_> k
[17:32] <debdrup> Hm, it seems that with feisty fawn, the guide as to how to get kubuntu to have compizfusion support doesn't work anymore.
[17:32] <Onyx> nickrud: Ahh, it wasn't too bad with xorg -- it just kept repeatedly crashing... i just had to stop gdm, wget the drivers, and install them again.
[17:33] <cristina> hi, i have 2 sound cards, after installimg ubuntu the 2'nd card worked, aftter installing the updates the firs card works, how can i set the card that is running?
[17:33] <CSRemmy> I'll look it up, I was hoping someone in here knew about it, but that's okay
[17:33] <valemon> how can I find out my gnome version?

[17:34] <wasdad> how was that?

[17:36] <hellop> cristina  do cat /proc/asound/sndstat
[17:36] <Tortured> i have madwifi drivers installed for my nic card in my laptop, how can i check what version they are?
[17:37] <nownot_> i was told to do this "anyhow, you need to make sure that all those hostnames resolve to local IPs" im setting up vhost. i dont know what they mean by this anyone have any further assistance?
[17:37] <nemilar> nownot_: in apache?
[17:37] <nownot_> nemilar: yes
[17:37] <nemilar> nownot_: how many IP addresses are assigned to your machine?
[17:38] <giuliano> ciao
[17:38] <nownot_> nemilar: i have one ip addy to my machine <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:38] <ompaul> !it | giuliano
[17:38] <ubotu> giuliano: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[17:38] <LogicalDash> I'm trying out IcedTea Java and it seems to work fine on .jar files but the launcher for Java Web Start doesn't do anything. Tips?
[17:38] <nemilar> nownot_: no, that's the local IP
[17:38] <giuliano> ok
[17:38] <nemilar> nownot_: you need the external IP, the one that goes to the internet
[17:38] <nownot_> nemilar: oh you talking outside yeah one its my local internet i have a sever running on
[17:39] <un0p> nemilar, its possible that he's setting up vhosts locally
[17:39] <nemilar> nownot_: is it for internet or intranet?
[17:39] <nownot_> un0p: yes well i have several sites on my home server and i want to set them up on vhost so nownot.sytes.net will take me to my blog
[17:39] <NMajik> In a file, what does #include <linux/config.h> refer to?
[17:39] <fotoflo> hmm whats the oppisite of "tail -n 5" ? aka, to get the first 5 lines of a file?
[17:40] <nemilar> nownot_: so internet
[17:40] <crdlb> fotoflo: head
[17:40] <un0p> nownot_, you need to make sure all hostnames resolve to your machines ip address (<IP_ADDRESS> possible?) then -- you do that by configuring your DNS server or /etc/hosts
[17:40] <nownot_> nemilar: yes
[17:40] <fotoflo> head
[17:40] <fotoflo> yes
[17:40] <Daviey> fotoflo: head
[17:40] <cellofellow> fotoflo: try head instead
[17:40] <defendguin> hey i'm trying to edit some stuff using the cups web interface and its asking me for cups username and password
[17:40] <fotoflo> head and tail
[17:40] <fotoflo> nice
[17:40] <nownot_> un0p: yes it just confused me
[17:40] <un0p> nownot_, what confused you?
[17:40] <nemilar> un0p: he's trying to get internet-wide URLs to resolve to his local machine
[17:41] <nownot_> un0p: what exactly i need to put an how
[17:41] <robdig> NMajik: to a header file...they can generally be found in /usr/include
[17:41] <cellofellow> nownot_: you can use dnsmasq to redirect stuff. I use it to block banner ads across the whole network.
[17:41] <nownot_> nemilar: hit the nail on the had
[17:41] <nownot_> *head
[17:41] <[RAY]> I've got a question. I'm trying to boot Ubuntu from the CD, but when it tries to boot from the CD it givs this error: " PXE-E53: Not boot filename received'
[17:41] <hellop> cristina, I guess in Ubu it's cat /proc/asound/cards
[17:42] <un0p> nownot_, i'm not sure whether you are setting up vhosts for a local intranet or you want people on the internet to be able to view content on the vhosts ?
[17:42] <un0p> nownot_, what are the vhosts names?
[17:42] <ompaul> [RAY], you do not have your machine to (A) boot from the CD drive, or (B) there is no OS on the hard drive,  it is failing to find something to boot over the wire
[17:42] <nickrud> defendguin: your user and password
[17:42] <hellop> [RAY], U are doing a network boot for some reason,  disable network boot in your Bios, check your boot order, verify your CD
[17:42] <nownot_> un0p: i want to be able to go to nownot.sytes.net on the internet and it take me to /var/www/blog on my home server
[17:42] <nownot_> un0p: vhost name is blog
[17:42] <defendguin> nickrud: that didn't work
[17:43] <nickrud> defendguin: assuming you're using a sudo account
[17:43] <thrice> can anyone tell me what I need to play .rmvd (real player) movies?
[17:43] <cellofellow> I've a couple vhosts on my server. To access them, I have to put a line like 'serveraddress vhostaddress anotheraddress' in /etc/hosts
[17:43] <defendguin> nickrud: my account is set up in sudo
[17:43] <nickrud> defendguin: are you in the lpadmin group ?
[17:43] <brobostigon> thrice: rel player
[17:43] <cristina> <hellop thx
[17:43] <defendguin> good question
[17:43] <un0p> nownot_, well, ok, does nownot.sytes.net resolve to your public ip address ?
[17:43] <nownot_> un0p: this is my apache2 -S
[17:43] <thrice> mkay
[17:43] <NMajik> robdig: A file I have has a number of these include statements referring to files that don't seem to exist in /usr/include. What should I do?
[17:43] <brobostigon> thrice: real player
[17:43] <haxax> preaction, it worked
[17:44] <[RAY]> hellop, boot order is corret, cd too, I don't have that much knowledge from bios though :|
[17:44] <thrice> brobostigon: Do I have to use Wine?
[17:44] <nownot_> http://pastebin.ca/864121
[17:44] <robdig> NMajik: have you installed build-essential?
[17:44] <nickrud> defendguin: anyway, I just used my admin account to delete a printer I don't use anymore
[17:44] <fotoflo> hmm where is teh default bash login script in ubuntu?
[17:44] <Chown> #list
[17:45] <jrib> fotoflo: why?
[17:45] <nickrud> fotoflo: /etc/profile /etc/bash.bashrc , ~/.bash_profile ~/.bashrc
[17:45] <DRebellion> I'd love to get involved in some technical Ubuntu development, but I have zero experience in packaging or launchpad or team development in general :( . What's the best way to get involved with a simple task I can do with some help?
[17:45] <defendguin> nickrud: i seem to be missing the local printers class
[17:45] <defendguin> this is not good
[17:45] <ompaul> [RAY], your cd is not booting - burn it again, as an "ISO image" not as a file
[17:45] <NMajik> robdig: sudo apt-get install build-essential ?
[17:45] <robdig> NMajik: yup
[17:45] <hellop> [RAY], your thing is set to boot from network, you will have to poke around, disable boot from "other devices"  disable PXE anything, you should see like "boot from cd..."  If not its your boot order, or CD drive not plugged in right
[17:45] <NMajik> robdig: build-essential is already the newest version.
[17:45] <nownot_> un0p: any ideas?
[17:45] <nickrud> defendguin: I have no local printer class, that's not really what classes are for
[17:45] <cellofellow> I am having trouble with my Logitech 350 USB headset. It works terrifically, except that GNOME's volume interface seems to be all screwed up. Using the volume buttons on my keyboard, on the headset, or on GNOME's mixer cause the right speaker to go to random volumes and the left speaker to be really quiet or muted. The only mixer that works is alsamixer.
[17:45] <robdig> NMajik: what are you trying to compile?
[17:45] <jrib> DRebellion: #ubuntu-motu or #ubuntu-bugs are good places to start (and the wiki pages for those teams)
[17:46] <NMajik> robdig: I believe they are drivers needed for the MAKE controller
[17:46] <DRebellion> jrib: k, i'll take a look
[17:47] <robdig> NMajik: if you're compiling a driver, then you need the linux headers, just a sec for name
[17:47] <defendguin> nickrud: i don't know what happened  i installed the fooxqx driver as per the instructions listed here http://foo2xqx.rkkda.com/INSTALL   which includes this sudo make install install-hotplug cups   i'm not 100% but i don't think i have an option to install a local printer now
[17:47] <un0p> nownot_, well, if this is your website http://nownot.sytes.net -- i think it's jsut a matter of adding another vhost configuration file and apache should take care of the rest
[17:48] <nownot_> un0p: how the hell did that work?
[17:48] <fotoflo> nickrud:thanks
[17:48] <nemilar> nownot_: did you get helped?
[17:48] <cellofellow> NMajik: the package to install the headers is linux-headers-generic (or whatever your kernel version is.)
[17:48] <nownot_> nemilar: yeah it seems to be working
[17:48] <un0p> nownot_, whats that?
[17:48] <robdig> NMajik: there are different ones depending on what you are running. if running generic, then linux-headers-generic
[17:48] <nemilar> nownot_: cool
[17:48] <nickrud> defendguin: hm, don't know that one. I buy generic hp printers, I'm chicken
[17:49] <defendguin> nickrud: this is a generic hp laser printer
[17:49] <NMajik> cellofellow robdig: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic?
[17:49] <un0p> nownot_, the only thing i am concerned about is nownot.sytes.net resolves to one IP but a different one is shown on the browser when i navigate to http://nownot.sytes.net
[17:49] <robdig> NMajik: yup
[17:49] <nickrud> defendguin: then why not use the driver already in cups with hpijs?
[17:49] <NMajik> cellofellow robdig: linux-headers-generic is already the newest version.
[17:49] <un0p> nownot_, maybe you configured that intentionally -- but it sure as hell is weird
[17:49] <hellop> Is there way to deselect packages prior to a Ubu install?  I heard typing "custom" at the 1st menu, but that didn't work for me
[17:49] <cellofellow> NMajik: yeah, but if you only install the version you are using it won't upgrade with the kernel.
[17:50] <defendguin> nickrud: my printer model is not in cups as having a recommended driver
[17:50] <NMajik> cellofellow: I don't think I understand what that means and how to apply it to my issue
[17:50] <hellop> defendguin, what printer model do you have?
[17:50] <nickrud> defendguin: ah. not generic then :) I pretty much refuse to compile stuff anymore I"m lazy
[17:50] <nownot_> un0p: can i pm  i get lost in here/
[17:51] <defendguin> hp LJ p1006
[17:51] <un0p> !pm | nownot_
[17:51] <ubotu> nownot_: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude.
[17:51] <hellop> defendguin, choose something close, or choose Laserjet 4  the most generic one
[17:51] <nickrud> nownot_: what irc client are you using?
[17:51] <haxax> with mount, what fs type shall i use for a cd?
[17:51] <nemilar> un0p: it's so much easier to discuss something in a msg, everything gets lost in here
[17:52] <nownot_> un0p: ok well what do you mean different ip when i go to either i get the same ip
[17:52] <nemilar> haxax: iso9660
[17:52] <robdig> !find linux/config.h | NMajik maybe this will help?
[17:52] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52620/   cleaned up and tested my notes on getting Compiz-Effects on ATI Radeon Cards  9500 and lower
[17:52] <ubotu> nmajik maybe this will help?: File linux/config.h found in ecos, libuclibc-dev, ruby1.8-dev, xen-doc-2.6.16, xen-headers-2.6.16

[17:53] <ToddEDM> hey guys, i have a problem... i installed Ubuntu on my nephews laptop(older), it does have wifi, but we cannot get onto the internet, could someone help?
[17:53] <un0p> nownot_, well, if i query a dns server -- nownot.sytes.net resolves to 204.16.252.xx  but when i navigate to nownot.sytes.net, i get redirected to 71.170.196.xxx:8080
[17:53] <NMajik> robdig: OK. What can I do with that information (I'm very new to compiling from source)?
[17:54] <MilhousePunkRock> Hello everyone!
[17:54] <hellop> defendguin, have you read everything on google yet?
[17:54] <defendguin> ok i think i'm back to normal now at least for a little while
[17:54] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: We had so many of those ATI in here on Friday that I made it a priority to look into it
[17:54] <MilhousePunkRock> Pretty basic question: What is the difference between the system being halted or powered off on shutdown?
[17:54] <erawfish> !wireless | ToddEDM
[17:54] <ubotu> ToddEDM: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[17:54] <nownot_> un0p: well maybe its b/c im going through no-ip.com for dns?
[17:54] <hellop> ToddEDM, use a cable!
[17:55] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow: looking better, you should use actual package names, not Compiz-Config-Settings-Manager for example. That really jumps out on the first pass
[17:55] <ToddEDM> hellop:  that does work, just not wifi
[17:55] <hellop> MilhousePunkRock, halt doesn't shut the PC off
[17:55] <hellop> ToddEDM, have you tried searching google before asking here?
[17:55] <MilhousePunkRock> hellop: But?
[17:55] <PodMan99a> ls
[17:55] <hellop> MilhousePunkRock, thats it
[17:55] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: Will fix that now..
[17:55] <ikaruga3001> milhousepunkrock: i think they might be the same ... but i'm not 100% sure
[17:55] <ToddEDM> no i thought i would come here first
[17:55] <un0p> nownot_, it shouldn't matter  -- maybe the change in DNS still hasn't propogated over to my ISPs dns server ust yet .. never mind, if it's working for you, its good :)
[17:55] <erawfish> ToddEDM: what wlan chip is it?
[17:56] <PodMan99a> hey all ne one got evolution working with exchange 2007 with ubuntu 7.10
[17:56] <robdig> NMajik: well, you original question was around #include <linux/config.h>. you have the current headers installed, and you have build-essential installed, so my thought was that you were compiling something else. the packages ubotu gave you have that particular file, do they match what you are trying to compile? if so, you need to install which ever one matches :)
[17:56] <brobostigon> hellop: i use sudo shutdown -h now, and it shutdown my machine.
[17:56] <ikaruga3001> milhousepunkrock: ah.... thanks hellop
[17:56] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow: I really like the references you gave for each option, I wish more people did that on the wiki

[17:57] <k1dugar> Hello, How can I disable the message  "This session is running as privileged user." When logon as root. Note: I understand the risk involved in running GUI on root privileged.
 help - video driver melt down - how can I uninstall restricted drivers from command line? - You could just edit your xorg.conf to use the non restricted driver?
[17:57] <nemilar> k1dugar: I don't think you can
[17:57] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow: and nano is ctl-o ctl-x to save/exit
[17:57] <erawfish> k1dugar: either you know it on your own or you can't. #ubuntu won't help you making your system insecure
[17:57] <dkbg> For no apparent reason, I am suddenly unable to login using Feisty. I enter my info in GDM as usual, but before my session starts up, the screen reverts to a tty for a second with the following error message: "timidity is not yet configured. Enable ALSA sequencer first by editing /etc/default/timidity" just after the "Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [ OK ]" line, then it reverts back to GDM. Any further attemp
[17:57] <DRebellion> k1dugar: because when running as root you can completely destroy your system
[17:57] <NMajik> robdig: I don't think so, I believe I'm trying to compile sam7utils-0.1.0/driver
[17:57] <thrice> Can anyone give me a apt-get install to real player? I cant get the download to work on their sites
[17:57] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52638/
[17:57] <erawfish> k1dugar: take it as a hint that you're doing a very very stupid thing
[17:58] <k1dugar> PEOPLE I respect your view but it's a test box running live system
[17:58] <hellop> brobostigon, ikaruga3001, I could be wrong..  what does just typing "halt" do for U?  same as shutdown -h now   right?
[17:58] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: Did it from memory thought it was w to write out
[17:58] <nemilar> thrice: realplayer isn't in the repos
[17:58] <mirdin76> Azzmodan: if I use vesa i get graphiics but  a frozen mouse, if I use nv I get a weird grpahics after log in, if I use nvidia I get a black screen on boot
[17:58] <erawfish> k1dugar: we respect your view too, you are on your own. HAND
[17:58] <nemilar> thrice: what's the problem with the download on their site?
[17:58] <erawfish> running by root as default is ALWAYS wrong
[17:58] <mirdin76> i may have fried my myself by using envy?
[17:58] <thrice> It just don't work here.
[17:59] <MilhousePunkRock> hellop: Shutdown's man page says -h will

[17:59] <erawfish> super-6-1: does it show up in lspci?
[17:59] <rezalover> hi
[17:59] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow: this is really bad timing, I'm about to take off. You want to get together later today or tomorrow to polish (on help.ubuntu.com)

[18:00] <hellop> dkbg, try disabling your sound in bios, or taking out card, maybe it suddenly broke
[18:00] <erawfish> rezalover: I'm a dog
[18:00] <earthen> i'm have trouble with not getting the ubuntu splash screen durning boot up all i get is a blank screen until i get to the login screen.
[18:00] <rezalover> ga mader

[18:00] <meoblast> hi

[18:00] <hellop> rezalover, 20 chat windows pop up on ur screen
[18:00] <Tony31> offtopic: how do i leave the chatrroom? just close the browser-window?
[18:00] <super-6-1> erawfish: umm i dont know
[18:00] <MilhousePunkRock> earthen: Did you try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash"
[18:00] <rezalover> ga makhr
[18:00] <dkbg> hellop: hmmm that's annoying, I guess I'll try...
[18:00] <erawfish> Tony31: yes
[18:00] <earthen> anyone have any idea's about that I'v tried adding the vga=792
[18:00] <nickrud> Tony31: or /part if you don't want to close the app
[18:00] <mirdin76> erawfish: hmm, too late. I'm at a command now, and I want to install the nvidia driver from instructions on its website - it says I need to uninstall the restricted driver first - will apt-remove do that?
[18:00] <nemilar> Tony31: the /leave command
[18:01] <earthen> MilhousePunkRock: no i didn't
[18:01] <rezalover> i am a cat

[18:01] <erawfish> mirdin76: we don't support nvidia.com drivers. ask nvidia, not us
[18:01] <MilhousePunkRock> earthen: Otherwise it might be the bug that the resolution of the splash was set to high
[18:01] <earthen> MilhousePunkRock: I will try that now
[18:01] <erawfish> super-6-1: that doesn't answer my question
[18:01] <rezalover> hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[18:01] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52640/              Polish all you want.. and will try to connect this weeknd  not sure of my schedule.  Hope this helps those with ATI and effects
[18:01] <MilhousePunkRock> earthen: Wait
[18:01] <meoblast> if anyone here has a PS3 with Ubuntu... i put the PS3 Ubuntu on a flash disk and im trying to boot it on my ps3..... it installed and kboot is on my screen...... kboot doesn't do anything and the boot-game-os command won't work....... in other words, my ps3 is broke..... can someone help me?
[18:01] <k1dugar> Thanks people I thought freedom was something special about Linux. One can only learn for his own mistake and I was runnging it on like usb disk just to learn.
[18:01] <rezalover> seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek
[18:01] <super-6-1> erawfish: i know but i dont know what it looks like in lspci

[18:02] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: Yea...
[18:02] <xomp> All, can someone tell me if my graphics card on my laptop is capable of running the eye candy in Compiz? Here is my lspci output: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] [1002:4c57]

[18:02]  * nickrud will stop being offtopic (like now) when jack is around
[18:02] <nemilar> xomp: yeah that's more than enough power for compiz
[18:02] <mirdin76> Azzmodan: ok thanks
[18:02] <super-6-1> erawfish: yea it sees it
[18:03] <niux_lab> anyone have any alsa knowlage ?
[18:03] <erawfish> super-6-1: WHAT device is it?
[18:03] <super-6-1> Ethernet controler
[18:03] <xomp> nemilar, I try to run Compiz but it tells me it can't start :( I thought maybe my graphics card was incompatible.
[18:03] <erawfish> super-6-1: and what chip?
[18:03] <meoblast> can anyone help me boot Ubuntu for ps3 off a flash disk with kboot?
[18:03] <Azzmodan> mirdin76, that won't remove the restricted driver, you can do that later, but that makes it use the non restricted driver so you can start X and then you can use whatever gui tool you want to remove it
[18:03] <k1dugar> Jack_Sparrow: I hope you can give a hint where to look for disable the message when logon as root
[18:03] <meoblast> i have kboot on my screen and i cant do jack
[18:03] <erawfish> xomp: what chip?
[18:03] <nemilar> xomp: compiz has lots and lots of problems
[18:03] <super-6-1> erawfish: marval technology?
[18:03] <tifine> is it possible to install itunes on ubuntu ?
[18:04] <erawfish> super-6-1: wireless?
[18:04] <nemilar> xomp: if you try to start it from the command line, it'll give you a more specific reason as to the problem
[18:04] <xomp> erawfish, I'm not sure what chip. Is there a way to find out? the laptop I use is an Compaq evo N610c
[18:04] <super-6-1> erawfish: yes

[18:04] <xomp> nemilar, thanks, I shall give it another try :)
[18:04] <mirdin76> Azzmodan: do you think I should remove compiz and xgl before I install the new nvidia driver?
[18:04] <erawfish> super-6-1: you will need ndiswrapper
[18:04] <super-6-1> erawfish: thanks
[18:04] <erawfish> xomp: lspci
[18:04] <ikaruga3001> meoblast: sounds like fun

[18:05] <Azzmodan> mirdin76, I have no idea, compiz shouldn't matter
[18:06] <ikaruga3001> meoblast: no unfortunately ... but i'm curious as to why you would want to do that
[18:06] <super-6-1> erawfish: hey is there a way to see if its athermos?
[18:06] <xomp> erawfish, I'm sorry, I thought I posted the graphics info earlier, is that what you're asking?
[18:06] <erawfish> xomp: yes
[18:06] <xomp> erawfish, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] [1002:4c57]
[18:06] <erawfish> super-6-1: yes, lspci will tell you. marvell is not atheros (provided the marvell is the wireless and not the wired)
[18:06] <erawfish> xomp: driver is "radeon" or "ati"
[18:07] <fotoflo> will samba logins show up in last?
[18:07] <meoblast> ikaruga3001: so we could basically have something else in our house that could be used as a computer if necessary
[18:07] <mirdin76> erawfish: do you mean minor upgrades or like feisty->gutsy
[18:07] <super-6-1> erawfish: ok thanks. people on ubuntu lied to me i guess its suppose to be athermos
[18:07] <NMajik> I'm having issues installing sam7utils-0.1.0 (possibly also called at91). make output is here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52641/
[18:07] <xomp> erawfish, not sure mate.
[18:07] <morpheus> does somebody can help me, i've a questio, i'm trying to configure the colors of the shell's text, so i can't found where i can do that,
[18:07] <nemilar> erawfish: I don't think so, no
[18:07] <erawfish> xomp: but I am
[18:07] <ikaruga3001> meoblast: ah...
[18:08] <erawfish> mirdin76: I mean minor upgrades of gutsy->gutsy even
[18:08] <erawfish> nemilar: you don't think what?
[18:08] <jimmy__> I have 2 problems, 1 in compiz, even when it is enabled the rain plugin does not work. Second on the hotkeys, it has the initiate hotkey set as return, and i am unable to change this
[18:08] <nemilar> erawfish: that samba logins show up in last
[18:08] <erawfish> super-6-1: lspci does NOT lie
[18:08] <nemilar> erawfish: oh, you didn't ask that
[18:08] <nemilar> my bad
[18:08] <erawfish> nemilar: where did you say that?
[18:08] <erawfish> ah, k
[18:08] <xomp> erawfish, I don't think I understand lol. Am I to download ati/radeon drivers you say? Or?
[18:08]  * xomp feels like an idjit lol
[18:08] <meoblast> ikaruga3001: im a little screwed because it boots this first... its looking for ubuntu in a cd drive, and it wont recognize the command boot-game-os
[18:08] <mirdin76> erawfish: but they tell me that they won't upgrade the driver version in restricted manager until a major upgrade - that driver has a major bug for my card
[18:09] <erawfish> nemilar: samba logins show up in smaba logs (actually tries and actual logins)
[18:09] <robdig> NMajik: checking google, it seems that you issue is resolved on this link, unfortunately i couldn't pull it up...maybe site is busy or something...oss.tekno.us/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=1;sa=showPosts
[18:09] <erawfish> mirdin76: who says that?
[18:09] <nemilar> erawfish: yeah, in /var/log/samba
[18:09] <PodMan99a> hey all ne one using exchange 2007 and evolution on 7.10
[18:09] <Ashfire908> how can i get a list of the samba users
[18:09] <meoblast> ikaruga3001: i found a way to get XMB back
[18:10] <erawfish> xomp: you already have all drivers on your disk without installing another thing. "radeon" is the open source drivers for radeons. fglrx from ati.com will NOT work on your chip
[18:10] <nemilar> Ashfire908: check in /etc/samba/smbusers
[18:10] <Virtus> Quick question.. Does the Alternate Ubuntu 7.10 installer cd (not the live one) support raid disks?
[18:10] <erawfish> Ashfire908: smbpasswd possibly
[18:10] <erawfish> Virtus: yes
[18:10] <Ashfire908> nemilar, that file doesn't exist
[18:10] <NMajik> robdig: What did you google? Is there a cache?
[18:10] <xomp> erawfish, thanks so much! I was nearly going to install the fglrx lol. So I'm cool with the drivers i have now, wonderful :)
[18:10] <erawfish> PodMan99a: get the evoluton connector. your ownly chance
[18:10] <Virtus> erawfish, so I can setup a raid0 with 3 disk, no problem?
[18:10] <xomp> erawfish, tis a load off my mind
[18:10] <nemilar> Ashfire908: did you create any samba users?
[18:10] <Azzmodan> Virtus, yes
[18:11] <Virtus> Azzmodan & erawfish thanks!
[18:11] <Ashfire908> nemilar, i think i did...
[18:11] <PodMan99a> erawfish, yea but does not appear to be 2007 compatible?
[18:11] <erawfish> Virtus: dunno about "no problem"...
[18:11] <mirdin76> erawfish: someone here earlier today said that - so they will update the driver in restricted
[18:11] <nemilar> Ashfire908: use smbpasswd -a to create a samba user
[18:11] <chewd> hey folks... anybody know the min system requirements for ubuntu live cd? will it run on an 800mhz cpu?
[18:11] <erawfish> PodMan99a: no clue
[18:11] <MilhousePunkRock> chewd: Most likely, if you have enough RAM
[18:11] <Virtus> erawfish, well, I grabbed the live cd, but I could not setup software raid with that.. I am experinced with both linux and raid disks ;o)
[18:11] <chewd> takes a lot of ram huh?
[18:11] <Ashfire908> nemilar, i know
[18:12] <robdig> NMajik: dunno about the cache...i googled sam7utils ubuntu
[18:12] <chewd> i think its 128mb... probably not enough huh?
[18:12] <erawfish> chewd: how much ram do you have? at 128MB, try xubuntu
[18:12] <nemilar> chewd: not enough for the livecd
[18:12] <chewd> k
[18:12] <zoom> chewd install in command line you ll have the minimum system
[18:13] <robdig> NMajik: cache doesn't seem to be coming up either
[18:13] <chewd> ive got an old all-in-one pc i use for a media player
[18:13] <chewd> its old junk tho
[18:14] <xomp> "Desktop effects could not be enabled" is the message I get when going to "System > Preferences > Appearance" and clicking on "Visual Effects" then "Extra". Any clue how I can do these actions via a terminal window to maybe watch its output to see where it's failing to cooperate?
[18:14] <earthen> i'm have trouble with not getting the ubuntu splash screen durning boot up all i get is a blank screen until i get to the login screen.
[18:14] <kestir> piracy discussion is ok?
[18:14] <chewd> next question.. i there any way to automate startup in ubuntu? IE: automatic login?
[18:14] <chewd> er is
[18:14] <jorje_villafan> I just install ubuntu and I am getting some odd performance. Every so often I'll click on something and I'll get a bunch of random lines on the screen. They go away when a window is moved over them. Also, occasionally when I open a  window, it will appear with nothing in it until I run my mouse over it.
[18:15] <NMajik> robdig: That sucks. Thanks for looking though
[18:15] <Azzmodan> chewd, yes you can set it to auto logon a certain user after X seconds
[18:15] <Ashfire908> chewd, check the login screen settings thing
[18:15] <chewd> sweet thanks
[18:16] <MrObvious> Howdy guys.
[18:16] <Scubar> sup
[18:16] <MrObvious> How is everyone this afternoon?
[18:17] <Scubar> great
[18:17] <ada1> is brobostigan or bkar still here?
[18:17] <erawfish> chewd: yes there is but you don't want to run ubuntu,at most, run xubuntu. you want 256MB or better more to run gnome in ubuntu
[18:17] <ada1> mrobvious, can you help me out? with my wireless issue?
[18:17] <ada1> i can't use wireless unless i'm on the livecd mrobvious
[18:18] <ada1> i'm going crazy
[18:18] <ada1> Can somebody help me with my wireless issue?
[18:18] <ada1> I can't run wireless unless i'm on the livecd
[18:18] <Scubar> you made sure ur wireless settings are the same in ur install and livecd
[18:19] <ada1> scubar my usb eth adapter son't work on hd.  only livecd for some reason
[18:19] <MrObvious> ada1: What I'd do is look for your chipset in lspci and then type it into the search feature at ubuntforums.org and see if any guides exist or good threads. That's seriously all I'd do. If you have specific questions after that let us know.
[18:19] <ada1> scubar, doesn't work, i mean
[18:20] <MrObvious> Scubar: Are you on another site I visit, EOCF?
[18:20] <Scubar> yea
[18:20] <Scubar> :P
[18:20] <Scubar> i was thinkin same thing
[18:20] <MrObvious> You are on EOCF? Really?
[18:20] <Scubar> yea
[18:20] <MrObvious> Cool beans.
[18:20] <Scubar> im the annoying prick who irritates all the ATI fans
[18:20] <Scubar> :)
[18:21] <bauer__> i have lost my windows manager ? How do i get it back ?
[18:21] <ada1> mrobvious, the chipset for my motherboard oyu mean/
[18:21] <MrObvious> ada1: No your wireless chip, like BCM4318 for example.
[18:21] <Scubar> what wireless usb adaptor do u have ?
[18:21] <MrObvious> bauer_: Does Ctrl+Alt+Backspace work (that reloads X so you'll probably be dropped).
[18:21] <MrObvious> ?
[18:21] <Scubar> will only take 2 secs to lookup what chip it uses in google
[18:22] <MrObvious> Scubar: I'm teaching him how to search for answers himself. :D
[18:22] <soundray> Scubar: it doesn't always work that way, though
[18:22] <MrObvious> Scubar: /join #eocf
[18:22] <filthpig> does anyone here know anything aboutrunning civiliztion IV under cedega on a 64 bit sysem?

[18:22] <tzanger> if I'm running xrandr to create a larger screen (extended desktop) and the two screens are not hte same resolution, how do I tell xrandr that it's a non-rectangular area?  MergedFb was very straightforward in this regad
[18:23] <TestSubject7B> magical_trevsky eats poo
[18:23] <soundray> Scubar: I've seen three different chipsets built into "Belkin F5D7050" devices
[18:23] <zenobius> tzanger: yes this is frustrating.
[18:23] <bauer_> MrObvious, That just made i impossible to enter any input
[18:23] <OshaMaHUe> hi i tried to install firefox 3b02 but now i cannot open firefox 2 i get "Failed to execute child process "firefox" (No such file or directory)" error  i tried remove and reinstall but it didnt worked for me what can i do?
[18:24] <MrObvious> bauer_: Hmm something crashed. :\
[18:24] <tzanger> zenobius: yeah; mergedfb doesn't work at all with 7.10 and the radeon driver :-(
[18:24] <zenobius> tzanger: but i cant help as im on feisty with mergefb
[18:24] <tzanger> heh
[18:24] <sean_> anybody know of a good tutorial for learning how to program with x-windows using g++
[18:24] <xomp> "Desktop effects could not be enabled" is the message I get when going to "System > Preferences > Appearance" and clicking on "Visual Effects" then "Extra". Any clue how I can do these actions via a terminal window to maybe watch its output to see where it's failing to cooperate?
[18:25] <zenobius> xomp: have a look at /var/log/xorg.0.log?
[18:25] <zenobius> xomp: not sure if the zero is right
[18:25] <xomp> zenobius, thanks, I'll do that :)
[18:25] <bauer_> MrObvious, I tried to install compiz. That was no success. I uninstalled it, and i have no manager running. I see the vindows i can communicate with them , but i cant move them around ?
[18:25] <zenobius> xomp: but its how i found the resolutions that work on my raedon
[18:26] <nikin> i have found a way to make a vido loopback device and so make a 160x120 webcam... but it does not work in some apps like flash.. any ideas how can i make flash to recognise theese v4l devices  as webcams?
[18:26] <MrObvious> bauer_: Rut roh. And Ctrl+Alt+Backspace won't restart X?
[18:27] <laypeople> hi
[18:27] <xomp> zenobius, I found the file. There's a lot to it haha. Do you think perhaps I'm unable to do this is because of my resolution?
[18:27] <MrObvious> Man for 1311 people there sure isn't much activity today. :\
[18:27] <MrObvious> Hey laypeople
[18:27] <bauer_> MrObvious, that just made it impossible to communicate with the windows.
[18:27] <zenobius> xomp: could be alot of reasons, i remember seeing in mine that it tired various resolutions and the reason why.
[18:28] <MrObvious> bauer_: Maybe reboot is the simplest option (although not a good Linux mentality one).
[18:28] <robdig> bauer__: are you running gnome? if so, in a terminal type metacity --replace then restart x
[18:28] <meoblast001> hello
[18:28] <MrObvious> bauer_: Actually try that first. :)
[18:28] <OshaMaHUe> anything for me?
[18:28] <meoblast001> i have a rewritable CD and i want to delete stuff off of it so i can rewrite onto it, how do i do that?
[18:28] <laypeople> 有能看见中文的么
[18:28] <laypeople> 呵呵
[18:29] <billenium> How do i change the music for when i log in?
[18:29] <laypeople> 看来没有中国人。。。
[18:29] <nikin> ok i found the solution... Linux for ever :P:P
[18:29] <robdig> !cn | laypeople
[18:29] <ubotu> laypeople: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw  或者 #ubuntu-hk
[18:29] <zenobius> billenium: system -> admin -> login window [accessibility]
[18:29] <xomp> zenobius, ok, I'm not really sure what to make of this log file. Is there a way you can look at it and let me know if there is anything you can discern from all it has? lol
[18:30] <MrObvious> billenium: System -> Preferences -> Sound
[18:30] <soundray> meoblast001: put the data together under Places-Create CD. When you're ready to burn, insert the CD-RW. Nautilus will offer to blank it for you.
[18:30] <MrObvious> billenium: It's under the Sounds tab.
[18:30] <zenobius> xomp: a nice widget for the gnome panel is webboard, lets you paste text to a pastebin server of your choice
[18:30] <meoblast001> soundray: thanx ill try that
[18:30] <chef_> could someone tell me what to do... my other machine running ubuntu studio has froze during vmware server install... how do I resolve?
[18:30] <xomp> cool, I'll check it out real quick
[18:30] <zenobius> xomp: or you can goto http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and do it there
[18:31] <soundray> meoblast001: there is a way to do it on the command line -- read 'man cdrecord' for the detail
[18:31] <exor> join #python
[18:31] <zenobius> xomp: sudo apt-get install webboard
[18:31] <MrObvious> exor: Forgot the /
[18:32] <xomp> zenobius, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52652/
[18:32] <MichaelSammels> Does Ubuntu Server come with a GUI?
[18:32] <IndyGunFreak> xomp: it doesn't work that wel unfortunately, just use the pastebin
[18:32]  * ally_xoxo is in 3> with ubuntu
[18:32] <soundray> chef_: if it's still frozen, reboot by holding Ctrl-Alt-PrtScrn down and typing r e i s u b
[18:32] <OshaMaHUe> i tried to install firefox 3b02 but now i cannot open firefox 2 i get "Failed to execute child process "firefox" (No such file or directory)" error  i tried remove and reinstall but it didnt worked for me what can i do?
[18:32] <jeffMASTERflex> MichaelSammels: no it does not
[18:32] <MichaelSammels> Is there an easy way to install the X Server if the machine running Ubuntu Server is not connected to the net?
[18:32] <chef_> soundray: ty... I'll try that now
[18:32] <meoblast001> soundray; Please replace the disc in the drive with a supported disc with at least 519.7 MiB free.  The following disc types are supported:
[18:32] <meoblast001> CD-R, CD-RW
[18:32] <soundray> OshaMaHUe: make sure the failed install is not on your path any more
[18:33] <jeffMASTERflex> MichaelSammels: you can install one easily though, by installing the desktop packages: sydo apte-get install ubuntu-desktop
[18:33] <LogicalDash> I'm trying out IcedTea Java and it seems to work fine on .jar files but the launcher for Java Web Start doesn't do anything. Tips?
[18:33] <jeffMASTERflex> MichaelSammels:
[18:33] <unagi> anyone happen to know what dictates being able to place an icon on the awn dock.........is there a specific chmod?
[18:33] <zenobius> billenium: ahh yes sorry i pointed you to the login screen sounds
[18:33] <jesper_> Hello: I'm new to linux and trying to understand the filesystem. Where is usually all the applications that is installed located?
[18:33] <jeffMASTERflex> MichaelSammels: but it has to be connected to the net
[18:33] <OshaMaHUe> soundray : ok
[18:33] <LogicalDash> jesper_: most of them are in /usr/bin
[18:33] <soundray> meoblast001: your CD isn't recognized as writable/erasable. You'll have to find another.
[18:33] <ally_xoxo> jesper_: try this in terminal "locate filename"
[18:33] <MichaelSammels> jeffMASTERflex: it has no net
[18:33] <ada2> mrobvious wht do i type in to see my usb adapter chiposet again?
[18:33] <jeffMASTERflex> MichaelSammels: you are out of luck if you want to install a gui without net access
[18:34] <jesper_> ok, thanks
[18:34] <meoblast001> soundray: this is jacked up.... i could have sworn that was a CD-RW but now it says CD-R on the disk.... gotta find another if i have one
[18:34] <phaedral> I'd like to _not_ have soundjuicer auto spawn when inserting an audio cd; where do I poke?
[18:34] <zenobius> jesper_: http://linux.wordpress.com/2006/04/27/simple-and-easy-linux-file-system-diagram/
[18:34] <MichaelSammels> Any ideas
[18:34] <keglevich> can someone tell me how can I check in debian for packages with certain name in them, if I don't know the real name...let's say that I would like to search through all packages available online or on all DVD's and check for line "tftp" and get all results/programs which contain name "tftp"?
[18:34] <MrObvious> adante: lspci
[18:34] <bauer_> MrObvious, robdig : It runnig :-) Thx guys
[18:34] <irenee> irenee
[18:34] <soundray> chef_: here's an explanation of what these keys do: http://www.developertutorials.com/tutorials/linux/magic-sysrq-050503/page1.html
[18:34] <MrObvious> ada2: I mean lsusb
[18:34] <robdig> bauer_: glad it worked for you
[18:35] <jeffMASTERflex> MichaelSammels: get comfortable with the cli. midnight commander and vim are your friends
[18:35] <hendrixski> I'm trying to apt-get install a multiple package bundle that's hosted in a local directory... I incremented the version number over what is found in the official repo's and then when I try to install it says "depends on packageName##-ubuntu7 but packagename##-ubuntu6 is to be installed"
[18:35] <hendrixski> I may have locked it up before to pull that version number, if so then how do I unset that?
[18:35] <chef_> soundray: Ok tried that but still froze & checking out site
[18:35] <meoblast001> soundray: were all out... imm gonna have to find a way to get Ubuntu live CD to boot off a flash disk onto my ps3
[18:36] <soundray> meoblast001: try the install page for suggestions on how to get there (private message coming...)
[18:36] <soundray> !install > meoblast001
[18:36] <zenobius> xomp: lines 477 to 539 are interesting
[18:36] <Marbug> does anyone know if shared folders works someway in ubuntu 7.10 with vmware6 ?
[18:36] <zenobius> xomp: im reading more now
[18:36] <MrObvious> Marbug: You might try Samba or NFS depending on if the VM is Windows or Linux.
[18:36] <MrObvious> !samba
[18:36] <ubotu> Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.
[18:36] <MrObvious> !nfs
[18:36] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[18:36] <adrock358> mrobvious what do i type to see the chipset of my usb adapter
[18:36] <tacone> Marbug: the standard vmplayer works
[18:36] <spdf> keglevich, you can use packages.ubuntu.com for that, or use apt-file
[18:37] <xomp> zenobius, thanks mate, I'm pouring over it myself :) I see where your referring too as well.
[18:37] <MrObvious> adrock358: lsusb
[18:37] <zenobius> xomp: line 559 to 585 seems to be about your monitor
[18:37] <soundray> chef_: if it's crashed to the point where it doesn't take Magic SysRq key requests, you'll have to pull the plug/remove the battery
[18:37] <MrObvious> Marbug: You could try !vmware too maybe?
[18:37] <zenobius> xomp: and from lines 670 its shows the tests
[18:37] <fotoflo> hmm im trying to apt-get gnupg but it cant find the package
[18:37] <adrock358>  050d:705a mrobvious is this it?
[18:37] <Marbug> well, I'm running ubuntu in vmware unser windows , vmware tools are installed, but I can't get anything in /mnt/gtfs
[18:37] <Marbug> !vmware
[18:37] <MrObvious> adrock358: What's the full line?
[18:37] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[18:38] <soundray> adrock358: that's the USB ID -- type that into Google to find out your chipset
[18:38] <ally_xoxo> is there an easy way to run an application on ubuntu via terminal?
[18:38] <Marbug> ok I know enough :p
[18:38] <xomp> zenobius, ok, do you see anything in there that would prevent Compiz from starting? :)
[18:38] <OshaMaHUe> what is the delete command in terminal
[18:38] <MrObvious> Marbug: Lol. Have fun.
[18:38] <Marbug> ow lol no wait
[18:38] <hendrixski> nm, I think I managed to trick the system
[18:38] <MrObvious> osfameron: You want to delete files?
[18:38] <zenobius> fotoflo: try sudo apt-cache search gnupg | grep [enter more refinement here]
[18:39] <chef_> soundray: what would happen if I just hit the reset button?
[18:39] <soundray> OshaMaHUe: rm
[18:39] <MrObvious> !rm | osfameron
[18:39] <Marbug> I'm wrong, it's the vmware player thats not available for 7.10, but the shared folders could work hmm
[18:39] <ubotu> osfameron: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal

[18:39] <soundray> !cli > chef_, see the private message for a link to frequently used terminal commands
[18:39] <mirdin76> i think my graphics is so fried that I need a reinstall
[18:39] <MrObvious> adrock358: I think that's it.
[18:39] <soundray> chef_: it will probably reboot and be fine
[18:39] <johnficca> Hi I installed the new catalyst 8.1 ati driver and it seems to be running great...but the thing is when I go to log-out it usually crashes, is anyone else having this problem.
[18:40] <adrock358> mrobvious that's what
[18:40] <fotoflo> zenobius: thanks!
[18:40] <fotoflo> gnupg2
[18:40] <soundray> adrock358: well, if you do, you'll find that you have an rt73 chipset
[18:40] <adrock358> ahh.  thanks soundray
[18:40] <fernando> fer
[18:40] <fotoflo> still couldnt find it
[18:40] <adrock358> mrobvious. so now i search ubuntu forums for help with that?
[18:40] <xomp> zenobius, lines 924 - 939 look weird too.
[18:40] <MrObvious> Yeah search for 050d:705a
[18:41] <fotoflo> gnupg2 - GNU privacy guard - a free PGP replacement
[18:41] <MrObvious> adrock358: Reading is one way to learn how to use Linux. :)
[18:41] <fotoflo> E: Couldn't find package gnupgp2
[18:41] <MrObvious> fotoflo: Typonese.
[18:41] <soundray> adrock358: don't tell MrObvious that I sneaked the answer to you
[18:41] <fotoflo> repos?
[18:41] <MrObvious> fotoflo: gnupg2
[18:41] <OshaMaHUe> i have problems with forefox im trying to fix this soundray said i need to delete file
[18:41] <chef_> soundray: ok, thanks... I saw other page & will check it out... used the terminal before & have a little idea what I'm doing there but at this point I can't even open up a terminal... mouse, keyboard, everything is frozen
[18:41] <MrObvious> soundray: *SMACK*
[18:41] <zenobius> xomp: oh your using gutsy...ouch, sorry cant help.
[18:41] <fotoflo> Thanks MrObvious
[18:41] <fotoflo> very
[18:41] <OshaMaHUe> i cannot get help form internet
[18:41] <MrObvious> fotoflo: Usually that means you typed it wrong. :) You're welcome.
[18:42] <xomp> zenobius, lol, ok. It a Gutsy problem you think?
[18:42] <MrObvious> OshaMaHUe: What exactly?
[18:42] <fotoflo> MrObvious: heh, yup
[18:42] <debdrup> Isn't compiz fusion available for gusty gibbon?
[18:42] <OshaMaHUe> i tried to install firefox 3b02 but now i cannot open firefox 2 i get "Failed to execute child process "firefox" (No such file or directory)" error  i tried remove and reinstall but it didnt worked for me what can i do?
[18:42] <jeffMASTERflex> debdrup: yes
[18:42]  * soundray looks at his one red cheek in the mirror
[18:42] <OshaMaHUe> MrObvious that was the problem
[18:42] <debdrup> jeffMASTERflex: then is it just me or is the guide on the wiki out of date?
[18:42] <fotoflo> cool
[18:42] <adrock358> soundray said my chipset is rt73.  thank you, but i'm not uinterested in learning how to use linux while i have no wireless card.  i supposed i could skip work, and sit at my computer and learn linux without an internet connection, but that doesn't seem like a very good use of my time.  Does it to you?
[18:42] <soundray> OshaMaHUe: which directory did you use to put the beta installation?
[18:43] <jeffMASTERflex> debdrup:  don't know. i've never used it
[18:43] <OshaMaHUe> i have already deleted it
[18:43] <jack-desktop> hi
[18:43] <IndyGunFreak> OshaMaHUe: why did you try to upgrade?
[18:43] <ally_xoxo> i installed tor via Synaptic Package Manager but i can't find it.. any ideas?
[18:43] <xomp> debdrup, I installed Gutsy on an old PC at work and compiz fusion works a treat on it. For some reason it doesn't like this laptop lol
[18:43] <MrObvious> adrock358: Does it work if you do sudo modprobe rt73?
[18:43] <OshaMaHUe> because i lige 30b2
[18:43] <debdrup> xomp: did you follow any guide or what?
[18:43] <jeffMASTERflex> debdrup: you can adjust the settings by downloading compizconfigblahblah
