[07:56] <roryy> arrick: away from keyboard, i think
[07:56] <mwe> arrick: away from keyboard. :)
[07:56] <tonyyarusso> wd3: Ah.  Firestarter is only a frontend to changing iptables settings.  You only need it running to change those settings.  All other times the set policies will be in effect.  (A bit different from the Windows concept of firewall software.)
[07:56] <luckyshot> anyone??
[07:56] <arrick> oh ok thanks
[07:56] <nickrud> Shan`, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12255
[07:56] <Trunkz> crap.. forgot to unmount the usb drive
[07:57] <Trunkz> gotta backup the files.. again
[07:57] <luckyshot> When I put a cd-r in my cd-r/w drive. It detects, but for some reason I cant burn using the Ubuntu OS. It seems to start fine but after a few seconds it errors and says that there is not enough disk space... i tried with many different cdr's... do I need to mount something????
[07:57] <wd3> tonyyarusso, ah, ty
[07:57] <duelboot> LEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYY   JJJEEEENNNNNNKKKKKIIIIINNNNSSS   :)  sorry but AFK reminded me of that
[07:57] <mwe> arrick: is everything working now?
[07:57] <Shan`> ok
[07:57] <CraiZE> gnomefreak, think you could help me with all that? :P
[07:57] <nickrud> arrick, good afternoon
[07:57] <roryy> luckyshot: it should not be necessary to mount anything in order to burn a CD
[07:57] <wd3> tonyyarusso, iptables? (sorry) like network setting or port settings?
[07:57] <gnomefreak> hold on CraiZE one at a time. come over to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[07:57] <CraiZE> ok
[07:57] <roryy> luckyshot: sounds like a software bug, or perhaps unsupported hardware.  What burner app are you using?
[07:58] <skpl> what is the command for system monitor, as there is no menu item for it in dppaer
[07:58] <iplgecko> lol hey gnomefreak your still on
[07:58] <tonyyarusso> wd3: Essentially.  It's how the Linux kernel deals with firewalling stuff.  (and that's about as technically as I can explain it)
[07:58] <mwe> tonyyarusso: won't the rules have to be reloaded at every boot? I think at least firestarter adds a boot script doing that
[07:58] <Trunkz> Ahh.. the wonderful world of linux xD
[07:58] <wd3> tonyyarusso, ur great thnks
 theres no app.... i right click on the drive icon and select "burn data disc"
[07:59] <slew_> recently i installed the new nvidia driver, now when i hit logout i dont get that cool menu where i can choose to shutdown or restart. how do i get that back?
[07:59] <skpl> what is the command for system monitor, as there is no menu item for it in dppaer
[07:59] <nickrud> skpl, gconf-editor
[07:59] <nickrud> skpl, apps->accessories->menu editor, you can enable gconf-editor in the menu, I think
[07:59] <Shan`> nickrud, i think i'm getting a hang of ll this now thanx for your help.. solved a big problem
[08:00] <tonyyarusso> mwe: That may be, but either way, firestarter doesn't need to be run.  In other words, it's taken care of.  (Doesn't need to be up and running constantly like Norton say)
[08:00] <bliss1__> hi
[08:00] <roryy> luckyshot: try installing gnomebaker (use synaptic for that) and see if that works better
[08:00] <iplgecko> Hey has anyone here read about IPOD linux?
[08:00] <roryy> luckyshot: it's best if we keep things in channel -- i suspect others know more about this than me
 whats synaptic?
[08:00] <Shan`> later ppl
[08:00] <Shan`> peace
[08:00] <mustard5> slew_, sometimes mine refuses to come up, but when I try to say open a new terminal,, it decides to appear
[08:00] <facugaich> !synaptic
[08:00] <ubotu> synaptic is probably https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SynapticHowto
[08:00] <bliss1__> roryy: how's is it going well i hope
[08:00] <iplgecko> I installed Linux on my ipod to hack it, its great
[08:00] <roryy> luckyshot: an application to install other sofware. System -> administration -> Synaptic
[08:01] <luckyshot> !gnomebaker
[08:01] <ubotu> NO SPEAKE ENLISH! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, luckyshot
[08:01] <roryy> luckyshot: read that URL ubotu posted: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SynapticHowto
[08:01] <luckyshot> ok thanks
[08:01] <roryy> bliss1__: doing fine thanks, how are you?
[08:01] <sopowae> hi all
[08:01] <jmoncayo> how can i search for avaliable wireless networks?
[08:01] <monzie> how do i access bluetooth phones with Ubuntu linux?
 any specific veersion of gnomebaker?
[08:02] <facugaich> how can I format a grub boot floppy like the one created during install?
[08:02] <nickrud> hi bliss1__ (me first this time :)
[08:02] <roryy> luckyshot: there should only be 1 version available
[08:02] <mustard5> jmoncayo, a recall some program called wifi radar or something like that..not a wifi user myself
[08:02] <bliss1__> roryy i have this  thread from ubuntu from feb 06 I want to know how to reply to it as I have the same problem http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-85379.html
 ok thanks
 ill get to that now
[08:02] <wd3> tonyyarusso, i really don't need to install firestarter with synaptic i could just run from terminal, make adjustments and close down?
[08:02] <bliss1__> nickrud: day off today? hope you are well
[08:03] <jmoncayo> duelboot, hey buddy
[08:03] <mustard5> monzie, nobody giving you any love today? :)
[08:03] <nickrud> bliss1__, nah, waiting on some phone calls, have some time to kill.
[08:03] <Trunkz> okey
[08:03] <Trunkz> while ubuntu is loading
[08:04] <facugaich> how can I make a grub boot floppy like the one created during install?
[08:04] <Trunkz> I'll help some folk out
[08:04] <tonyyarusso> wd3: You would still install it, but just don't need to open the program on boot every time.  You couldn't run it in the first place without it installed.
[08:04] <Trunkz> First person, to shoot mustard5 out of a cannon, gets my help :P
[08:04] <bliss1__> nickrud: i will take a bet that your at your deak over easter/
[08:04] <nickrud> facugaich, use grub-floppy
[08:04] <Trunkz> okey, how can I help (LOL)
[08:04] <roryy> bliss1__: unfortunately I can't suggest anything other than the noacpi and nolapic boot options
[08:05] <facugaich> nickrud, that way the floppy boots to a command line GRUB
[08:05] <jag> hey whats your favorite media players for tv-out?
[08:05] <mustard5> facugaich, hmmm a grub boot floppy...(tries to think of where he saw instructions)
[08:05] <wd3> tonyyarusso, hey thanks again.
[08:05] <bliss1__> roryy; ok thanks but hope can I start up the thread again
[08:05] <bliss1__> how
[08:05] <roryy> bliss1__: are you asking about how to use ubuntuforums ?
[08:05] <facugaich> I'd like it to be like the one created during ubuntu's install
[08:06] <bliss1__> roryy; well thanks for your answer I will try but just in case in a answer yes i am
[08:06] <mustard5> facugaich, http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Creating-a-GRUB-boot-floppy
[08:06] <wd3> tonyyarusso, it's a one time shot deal then, i make adjustments once, and system maintains that forever?
[08:06] <facugaich> mustard: ok, let me see
[08:06] <mustard5> facugaich, not sure thats exactly what you are after..but its a start
[08:06] <tonyyarusso> wd3: Correct.
[08:07] <tonyyarusso> wd3: Enjoy the wisdom of a firewalling kernel.  ;)
[08:07] <mustard5> facugaich, they look like 'generic' instructions though
[08:07] <roryy> bliss1__: i'm not very familiar with ubuntuforums; I'd suggest starting a new thread, or finding a more recent one.  You can paste a link to this older thread in the new one.  This looks like a good place to start: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=102
[08:07] <nickrud> facugaich, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto/BootFloppy?highlight=%28grub%29 step 4
[08:07] <mustard5> facugaich, not ubuntu specific
 its a .deb file right?
[08:08] <mustard5> facugaich, here is something ubuntu specific.. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto/BootFloppy
[08:08] <Zarephath> Is there a wiki about using PocketPC's with Ubuntu?
[08:08] <roryy> luckyshot: if you are using synaptic, you should not have to deal with .deb files
[08:08] <cecilia> tonyyarusso, it didn't work, i had to do dpkg-reconfigure gdm to make it work. :/
[08:08] <bliss1__> roryy:  thanks for the ubuntu  forum answer how to place noacpi and nilapic at boot please and if apm is not  on my system
[08:09] <roryy> bliss1__: oh, i see, sorry. just a sec
[08:09] <mustard5> nickrud, doh..missed you putting the link up
[08:09] <tonyyarusso> cecilia: Really?  I would have thought stopping gdm and restarting X would have done the trick.
[08:09] <nickrud> mustard5, heh. Convergence :)
[08:09] <mustard5> again! :D
[08:09] <wd3> tonyyarusso, wow thats deep. lol. this is a wholie new world.   lol
[08:09] <tonyyarusso> On second thought though, how would you restart ?dm without specifying which one?...
[08:10] <nickrud> tonyyarusso, I don't think you can, each has it's own init script, iirc
[08:10] <roryy> bliss1__: it involves editing the file /boot/grub/menu.lst; you'll need root privileges to do that (do something like 'sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst')
[08:10] <tonyyarusso> nickrud: Okay then, so now I'm curious...
[08:10] <mustard5> Zarephath, is that like a Palm?
[08:10] <tonyyarusso> cecilia: What exactly did you try anyway?
[08:10] <devnull_> if i have an amd64 is there anything i can do with a 32bit kernel to speed up performance
[08:11] <jmoncayo> need some help i just installed the wireless using ndiswrapper but when i reboot the box i need to do modprobe again in order to get it to work
[08:11] <roryy> bliss1__: around line 60 or so you should see '# kopt=root=/dev/...'
[08:11] <cecilia> tonyyarusso, yep, but I restarted and didn't work
[08:11] <duelboot> jmoncayo, see PM
[08:11] <Zarephath> mustard5: No it is like a PocketPC running windows mobile 5...See Dell Axim 51v for details if you are interested...
[08:11] <tonyyarusso> cecilia: Odd.  Okay.
[08:11] <bliss1__> roryy: ok I am in there now but please bear in mind that i have apci but not apm
[08:11] <facugaich> guys, that sounds like what I'm looking for, thank you very much
[08:12] <mustard5> Zarephath, just showing my ignorance :)  I'm not sure whats on the wiki for what you have
[08:12] <facugaich> oh, and sorry for the cannon thing mustard5, lol
[08:12] <mustard5> facugaich, hehe
[08:13] <nickrud> tonyyarusso, the gdm init script has HEED_DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER , and if it's true, it checks /etc/X11/default-display-manager. I'd assume :) that that's what dpkg-reconfigure gdm affects
[08:13] <Zarephath> mustard5: Np
[08:13] <tonyyarusso> nickrud: Oh right, I remember messing with that.
 its a .deb file right?
[08:13] <roryy> bliss1__: it's acpi, not apci. Also, note that the spelling of the two options is different, but confusingly similar: noacpi and nolapic
[08:13] <bliss1__> roryy; look here see anything odd http://pastebin.ca/49325
[08:13] <tonyyarusso> nickrud: (Actually for kdm, b/c I just wanted to try it out)
[08:13] <roryy> luckyshot: please see my earlier answer to that question
 what files should i be dealing with?
[08:14] <roryy> luckyshot: none at all. You should select gnomebaker in synaptic and install it
[08:14] <mustard5> devnull, I can't think of anything in particular.  I wonder whether you could try the 64bit kernel and use chroot for 32 bit apps..not having a 64bit comp myself I don't what all the issues are with that
[08:14] <Zarephath> What is a good dvd software for creating and chaptering DVD's?
[08:14] <luckyshot> ohh
 ok thanks
[08:15] <Zarephath> Actually I believe that is handled for you in Ubuntu when you install the 64 bit version...it will install the 32 bit stuff and set it up to run without having to chroot like in gentoo
[08:15] <roryy> bliss1__: i cannot help you with hardware specific issues; laptop power is well beyond my ken. I *can* help you set your system up so that linux does not use ACPI or the LAPIC
[08:16] <mustard5> devnull, I've seen threads on the tips and tricks section of the ubuntuforums talking about methods of speeding up your system, but they are not specific to 64bit systems, just speed ups for 32 bit kernels
[08:16] <mustard5> Zarephath, ah ok
[08:17] <sopowae> hi all
[08:17] <bliss1__> roryy; ok lets go for that what will my labtop use if not ACPI or the Lapic?
[08:17] <devnull_> thanks
[08:17] <nickrud> Zarephath, not quite yet, the support isn't complete yet (as far as I've read recently)
[08:17] <bliss1__> LAPIC
[08:17] <Zarephath> nickrud: K kewl
[08:18] <roryy> bliss1__: i'm not sure, sorry.
 where do i find gnomebaker once i get synaptic open?
[08:18] <Zarephath> luckyshot: click on the search button and type in gnomebaker
[08:18] <mustard5> luckyshot, you would type gnomebaker in the 'Search' field
[08:18] <roryy> luckyshot: there should be a list of apps in the top right pane of the synaptic window
[08:18] <luckyshot> ok will do
[08:19] <Zarephath> any Spaniards in here?
[08:19] <roryy> luckyshot: you need to setup the network repositories (I hope this was coverd on the wiki page you were directed to earlier)
[08:19] <phrowzen> anyone know if there is a way to like, recursively set nautilus to set a certain directory and subdirectories view to -view by icons? and 100% zoom? id like the folder containing most of my pictures to be seen that way, but nothing else
[08:19] <mustard5> Zarephath, they would all be at #ubuntu-es
[08:19] <bliss1__> rorry: you said   I *can* help you set your system up so that linux does not use ACPI or the LAPIC so if linux does not use ACPI  or LAPIC what does it use instead
[08:19] <Zarephath> mustard5: Heh
[08:20] <Phex> hi @ all
[08:20] <Phex> i have a ubuntu problem can anyone help me?
[08:20] <roryy> bliss1__: It's very easy to disable these two things -- just two kernel parameters in /boot/grub/menu.lst; I'm not sure what is used instead (if anything) in that case
[08:21] <mustard5> Phex, we won't till you tell us the problem :)
[08:21] <mustard5> Phex, heh,, I meant to say 'we won't know' :)
[08:21] <Phex> i can't log in with my username i have made in the installation
[08:21] <phrowzen> reboot to recovery console
[08:22] <phrowzen> and add a new usr
[08:22] <Mustang97> mustard5: installation worked..  now it opens and what not
[08:22] <phrowzen> or chpass or something
[08:22] <mustard5> Mustang97, thats good news :)
[08:22] <nickrud> Phex, reboot to recovery mode and reset the password: passwd <username>
[08:22] <mustard5> Mustang97, be careful with that hostname now ;=;)
[08:22] <bliss1__> rorry; ok  lets at least try i can thses two lines in mennu.lst   ## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro   and # kopt=root=/dev/hda2 ro
[08:22] <Mustang97> mustard5 no kiden..  :P
[08:22] <Phex> there is the login at the start were i can insert my username but no pw
[08:23] <Mustang97> thing is freakin touchy
[08:23] <nickrud> Phex, enter the username, then hit return. It'll ask for the password next
[08:23] <mustard5> Phex, normally you type in the username..then it asks for the password in the same window
[08:23] <Phex> no i don'T
[08:23] <Phex> sorrx
[08:23] <Phex> i does
[08:23] <Phex> it does
[08:23] <mustard5> Phex k :)
[08:23] <nickrud> Phex, welcome :)
[08:24] <bliss1__> mustartd5: hi man
[08:24] <mustard5> howdy bliss1__
[08:24] <crimsun> v3rmap: have you compiled gtk+ in a non-system location?
[08:25] <skpl> what is the command for system monitor, as there is no menu item for it in dppaer
[08:25] <Phex> oh god this wasn't a good start in the linux world
[08:25] <mustard5> skpl, ah good question..I was hunting around for that earlier and lost track of what I was doing...
[08:25] <nickrud> skpl, gnome-system-monitor ; don't forget about apps-accessories-menu editor
[08:26] <nickrud> Phex, if all your problems are as easy to answer ....   :)
[08:26] <skpl> nickrud, i do not see it anywhere in gconf
[08:26] <axisys> pcmcia generates no log in messages file when i insert or pull it out.. but i see this in the dmesg when rebooted.. http://pastebin.com/660035
[08:26] <nickrud> skpl, it's not in gconf. the menu editor is name alacarte
[08:26] <axisys> i am trying to find a way to mount the damn pcmcia card
[08:27] <mustard5> skpl, its gnome-system-monitor I think ?
[08:27] <v3rmap> crimsun, I did not compile gtk+. I just installed the libgtk2.0-devel package.
[08:27] <roryy> bliss1__: sorry, missed that last bit
[08:27] <roryy> bliss1__: the latter one is the one you want to edit (the one with only one #)
[08:27] <bliss1__> roryy: ok  lets at least try i can thses two lines in mennu.lst   ## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro   and # kopt=root=/dev/hda2 ro
[08:28] <rabe> simple question: how to scroll down in a terminal window (fullscreen)? (for ex. after typing "top"?)
[08:28] <nickrud> skpl, arg. the gnome-system-monitor is the name of the system monitor you see in the breezy system tools menu
[08:28] <crimsun> v3rmap: pastebin your configure errors
[08:28] <mustard5> doh..I'm being too slow again
[08:28] <roryy> bliss1__: turn that into '# kopt=root=/dev/hda2 ro noacpi nolapic'
[08:28] <skpl> nickrud, yeah i know, how come it is no longer a menu item?
[08:28] <bliss1__> roryy; ok
[08:28] <roryy> bliss1__: then run 'sudo update-grub' and reboot
[08:29] <nickrud> skpl, it was a design decision, to avoid confusing newer users. (I have no repeatable opinion about that decision)
[08:29] <roryy> bliss1__: if this doesn't work, i guess it would be wise to remove those two options
[08:29] <bliss1__> rory: ok
[08:29] <Phex> oh no the next problem: he doesn'T take the pw
[08:29] <rabe> simple question: how to scroll down in a terminal window (fullscreen)? (for ex. after typing "top"?)+
[08:29] <v3rmap> crimsun, I have no configure errors, only compilation errors for my program that uses the gtk+ headers. The compilation errors are to do with "header files not found". To fix these errors, I have added include directories to the gcc command line.
[08:29] <mustard5> rabe, top doesnt scroll down I don't think
[08:29] <rabe> so how to see all processes
[08:30] <rabe> ?
[08:30] <crimsun> v3rmap: that's...broken. What app are you attempting to compile?
[08:30] <Amaranth> rabe: nothing to scroll down
[08:30] <_jason> Phex: who doesn't take the pw?
[08:30] <facugaich> rabe ps -a
[08:30] <nickrud> Phex, captitalization matters, be sure you typed it correctly
[08:30] <Amaranth> rabe: to see all processes run 'ps -aux'
[08:30] <rabe> ok
[08:30] <v3rmap> crimsun, the hello world program at: http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/c58.html#SEC-HELLOWORLD
[08:30] <rabe> and then how to scroll there?
[08:31] <mustard5> rabe, you can try this  ps -aux | less
[08:31] <Amaranth> rabe: if you're in gnome-terminal there is a scrollbar
[08:31] <Amaranth> rabe: scroll up
[08:31] <Phex> the ubuntu ich think i'll install it one more time and take a lil bit easyer pw the start don't take the pw
[08:31] <mustard5> rabe, that will display a page at a time
[08:31] <Phex> oh no
[08:31] <Amaranth> mustard5: line at a time
[08:31] <_jason> Phex: you can just change your password if you forgot it, no need to reinstall
[08:31] <rabe> ok, so there's no way to scroll ina fullscreen terminal window?
[08:31] <nickrud> Phex, there's a way to fix your password
[08:32] <Amaranth> rabe: shift-pgup
[08:32] <mustard5> Amaranth, ah ok..I sort of looks like a page worth when I do it :)
[08:32] <rabe> ahh ok thanks
[08:32] <Phex> yes and how i do it
[08:32] <Amaranth> rabe: or ctrl-pgup, i don't remember
[08:32] <Amaranth> mustard5: starts with a page, hitting enter moves a line
[08:32] <intelikey> rabe [shift] +[pg-up]
[08:32] <mustard5> Amaranth, ah ok..I tend to hit the space bar
[08:32] <_jason> Phex: ok first off, do you know for certain you are using the right username?
[08:32] <makaveli> sup
[08:33] <Phex> yes i write it down
[08:33] <makaveli> who knows how to download frostwire?
[08:33] <nickrud> !frostwire
[08:33] <kynes> how can I download packages to install later without Synaptic Package Manager??
[08:33] <makaveli> yes
[08:33] <Phex> with the pw
[08:33] <crimsun> v3rmap: oh, you're working through the tutorial?
[08:33] <mustard5> kynes, I don't think its designed for that
[08:33] <nickrud> !tell makaveli about frostwire
[08:33] <kynes> yea I know
[08:33] <_jason> Phex: ok, reboot the computer.  At the grub menu (you may need to press ESC while booting) choose ``recovery mode''.  Then enter this command: passwd your_normal_username
[08:33] <kynes> but I have to
[08:33] <crimsun> v3rmap: have you gotten to pkg-config yet?
[08:33] <makaveli> i try to download frostwire but i cant!
[08:34] <rabe> why am i getting jsut 3 fps, damn ATI :-(
[08:34] <kynes> my ethernet is not working
[08:34] <Amaranth> kynes: you can go to packages.ubuntu.com and download them
[08:34] <kynes> and wireless is likewise
[08:34] <Phex> ok i'll do this
[08:34] <_jason> makaveli: what happens when you try?  where are you downloading from?
[08:34] <mustard5> kynes, you could use the dpkg command from terminal to install .deb files that you download locally
[08:34] <Amaranth> kynes: but you have to manually download the dependencies too
[08:34] <v3rmap> crimsun, I think that's the problem. Let me give it a try
[08:34] <Phex> wait a moment i'll switching the computer
[08:34] <makaveli> i need the code
[08:34] <crimsun> v3rmap: it's not a problem with gtk+'s headers or their locations. You simply haven't gotten to pkg-config yet, which is how they're compiled.
[08:34] <_jason> ubotu: tell makaveli about frostwire
[08:34] <echo> how do i get a geforce fx 52oo video card to work period..... thanks
[08:34] <Amaranth> kynes: synaptic will do all of that for you and (i think) create a shell script that installs them
[08:34] <makaveli> fro frostwire
[08:34] <kynes> aaah ok thanks

[08:45] <Mend> i have set the networking but i don't know how to start it
[08:45] <wd3> gnomefreak, so after the untaring or unziping all the files will be in that directory, so building it will creat icon? is that compiling?
[08:45] <_jason> makaveli: yep
[08:45] <mthakur> gnomefreak & duelboot : the problem is this - i fiddled with something is webmin and then i restarted the computer. Ubuntu went into the command line mode and then I had to use startx to get back.
[08:45] <scifi> strange how pc thought it was .rar and even allowed me to extrect it!! ^^ :O
[08:45] <gnomefreak> wd3: nope you have to make it
[08:45] <pSyONiDe> not in 3.1, it used chat scripts... ppp-up ppp-down
[08:45] <mustard5> Mend, you've done the pppconfig?
[08:45] <mthakur> duelboot : the problem is this - i fiddled with something is webmin and then i restarted the computer. Ubuntu went into the command line mode and then I had to use startx to get back.
[08:45] <Mend> mustard5: should i install gnome-ppp atm?
[08:45] <mthakur> gnomefreak: the problem is this - i fiddled with something is webmin and then i restarted the computer. Ubuntu went into the command line mode and then I had to use startx to get back.
[08:45] <mustard5> Mend, you need to be online to get gnome-ppp
[08:45] <gnomefreak> wd3: you dont want to do that unless you have to trust me on that
[08:46] <Mend> yes, if u mean username, password, and telephone number
[08:46] <mustard5> Mend, are you using the networking gui?
[08:46] <Mend> mustard5: i can't
[08:46] <duelboot> mthakur, goodnews, badnews...there's a config to get it back to init 5 (gui login), but don't know where it's at at them moment

[08:46] <Mend> sorry, im very new to linux. i didn't understand ur question mustard5
[08:46] <_jason> makaveli: ok 'ls' and put it on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[08:46] <gnomefreak> mthakur: you are gonna have issues than the only way to fix a borked system is you can re-install or you can use install cd and fix broken system but i think either way data loss unles you back up
[08:47] <jmoncayo> duelboot, thanks budd
[08:47] <duelboot> jmoncayo, will pm you with the terminal way to do it
[08:47] <southern> hi all

[08:47] <mbelgedhes> hi too southern
[08:47] <mthakur> isn't there any other way?
[08:47] <jmoncayo> now i need some help with aterm, when i use the -sh flag the background goes gray why is that?

[08:47] <makaveli> sorry jason i forgot to pus the '
[08:47] <makaveli> put
[08:47] <duelboot> gnomefreak, it looks like he needs to get the config to boot to init 5...do you know where that's at

[08:48] <_jason> makaveli: what did it say?
[08:48] <duelboot> gnomefreak, mthakur wants it to boot to init 5 (gui logon) so he doesn't have to startx
[08:48] <intelikey> Mend wvdial is on the install cd  and works wonders with dialup from console.      "wvdialconf .wvdialrc && nano .wvdial && wvdial "    <--- full process.   after that setup   just "wvdial "    mend try it.
[08:48] <duelboot> thx nickrud
[08:48] <mustard5> Mend, start with the pppconfig command

[08:52] <Mend> mustard5: no, i thought i would use dial up as in windows
[08:52] <nickrud> mthakur, from the command line where you ran startx (log out of gnome first)
[08:52] <mbelgedhes> i have to see MU vs Sunderland
[08:52] <mbelgedhes> bye
[08:52] <griffin_> (I know its a repeat, but maybe someone who knows missed it!)hello everyone, I tried to run fixmbr off a recovery disk to get grub off the mbr. But fixmbr complains it cant read the c: drive, any ideas why?
[08:52] <Mend> mustard5 but i configured the connection from gnome
[08:52] <seanh456768> Is the performance of a wireless card - effective range etc. - different on Windows and Linux? Or is is just hardware dependent?
[08:52] <Mend> mustard5: username, password, phone number
[08:52] <makaveli> ok jason i did it
[08:52] <Ryo_xp> edit /etc/fstab didn't work
[08:52] <_jason> makaveli: ok what did it say?
[08:53] <duelboot> seanh456768, don't know but would presume it's the same...anyone else?
[08:53] <makaveli> the arrow
[08:53] <makaveli> >
[08:53] <Ryo_xp> I can't read fat32 partition
[08:53] <_jason> makaveli: press ctrl-d
[08:53] <intelikey> update-rc.d is sick.  it clones the runlevels thus defeting the SysVinit idea entirely.  if one only wants one runlevel  why use SysVinit,  but just one startup script and one halt script...
[08:53] <mustard5> Mend, well if you configure it using the Networking gui all usually have to do is to 'activate' the device and it dials out.  I would avoid using the GUI though
[08:53] <_jason> makaveli: do _not_ use the ''
[08:53] <makaveli> k
[08:53] <aleph> I installed ubuntu as a server how can I upgrade and get gnome on here ?
[08:53] <_jason> makaveli: ok, type: pwd
[08:53] <southern> I have problem. Let see... So I'm running a breezy server and there is a samba and NAT (netshare) with dsl connect. Yesterday I rebooted it but after the XP clients can't browse the internet only google. Btw ping and dns working... PLEASE HELP ME!!!! :(( I haven't faced whit this prb before..
[08:54] <skpl> is there a ubunntu packeg to help you manage/delete partitions inside linux?
[08:54] <_jason> ubotu: tell southern about repeat
[08:54] <seanh456768> duelboot - my problem is, the card works fine on XP, I got it installed on Ubuntu with ndiswrapper and suddenly I get no bandwidth, though I can see the wireless networks
[08:54] <Mend> mustard5: does activate work as "dial" in windows?
[08:54] <makaveli> i press it quit by it self jason
[08:54] <_jason> makaveli: ok, new terminal
[08:54] <makaveli> it suppose do that
[08:54] <nickrud> intelikey, no, you can tell update-rc.d to do any thing you'd want to have done to a run level: ignore, kill, start
[08:54] <makaveli> k
[08:54] <mustard5> Mend, apparently..I rarely used it :)
[08:54] <makaveli> then wat jason
[08:54] <_jason> makaveli: cd ~/Desktop
[08:54] <Mend> mustard5: but after activating it didn't dial
[08:54] <mustard5> Mend, my connection speed seemed slow via the GUI
[08:54] <makaveli> again
[08:54] <duelboot> seanh456768, did you "activate" it?
[08:54] <_jason> makaveli: yes
[08:54] <seanh456768> duelboot - actually my other linux laptop has the same problem, sees all the wireless networks, but no bandwidth
[08:55] <mustard5> Mend, k..well i would set it up via the command line, then get gnome-ppp when you get online (assuming it works)
[08:55] <makaveli> ok it say ~/Desktop$
[08:55] <makaveli>  jason
[08:55] <Mend> mustard5: ok, then i'll try shell connection, but it must be very complicated
[08:55] <_jason> makaveli: now you are in your desktop.  Can you tell me, what is the name of the file you downloaded?
[08:55] <seanh456768> duelboot - yeah I did the activation and everything, it even seems to connect to the networks, just not downloading anything
[08:55] <mustard5> Mend there is a full page on the subject here... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto
[08:55] <intelikey> nickrud ok then 'default' update-rc.d is sick then  :)
[08:55] <duelboot> seanh456768, pizza's here, I gotta run...maybe later
[08:55] <makaveli> hold on
[08:55] <jrbl> Hi.
[08:55] <mustard5> Mend, its not really very complicated
[08:55] <jrbl> Is anyone able to tell me how to share a printer?
[08:55] <scifi> ok i have iso burnt....do i need to go into bios to change to cd-first booting sequence??
[08:55] <nickrud> intelikey, only to people not from debian :)
[08:55] <Mend> mustard5: ok, i'll try
[08:55] <mustard5> Mend if you type in pppconfig it brings up a very easy little interface in the terminal
[08:56] <seanh456768> My wireless cards can see and connect to networks on Ubuntu, but can't download anything. Could this be an IPv4/IPv6 thing?
[08:56] <makaveli> frostwire-4.10.9-1.i5 86.deb
[08:56] <makaveli> jason
[08:56] <mwe> jrbl: there is a wiki explaining it. search for print at wiki.ubuntu.com
[08:56] <_jason> makaveli: ok now do this: sudo dpkg -i frostwire-4.10.9-1.i586.deb
[08:56] <mustard5> Mend, basically you give the dialup connection a name..and the default name is 'provider'...you will see that straight away
[08:56] <mthakur> nickrud, i tried that but when i reboot same thing happens.
[08:56] <mthakur> nickrud, it says that it failed to initialize HAL
[08:57] <makaveli> space between -i and frostwire jason
[08:57] <mthakur> gnomefreak, it says that it failed to initialize HAL
[08:57] <Mend> ok, then i need to switch to linux now :)
[08:57] <mustard5> Mend, then you setup the specifics of your connection..ignore all the stuff that looks 'technical' :)
[08:57] <_jason> makaveli: a shortcut may be to do: sudo dpkg -i frost<tab>, where <tab> means pressing the tab button
[08:57] <southern> what is frostwire?
[08:57] <_jason> makaveli: yes
[08:57] <scifi> anyone?
[08:57] <Mend> mustard5: ok
[08:57] <nickrud> mthakur, ah, HAL. Over my head, although I don't see what hal would have to do with gdm.
[08:57] <jmoncayo> does anyone works with aterm here?
[08:57] <mustard5> Mend, then use 'pon' to try start the connection
[08:57] <intelikey> nickrud hehhe only runlevel 0 1 & 6  here atm.   0 is single 1 is multiuser... but yeah.
[08:57] <scifi> ok i have iso burnt....do i need to go into bios to change to cd-first booting sequence??
[08:57] <Mend> mustard5: have u ever installed mysql query browser from source?
[08:57] <mustard5> Mend you will get the idea if you read the bottom of that webpage
[08:58] <mustard5> Mend heh no :)
[08:58] <FlannelKing> scifi: you just need the CD to boot before the HD in the order.  doesn't have to be first. (I do floppy, cd, HD)
[08:58] <jrbl> mwe, thanks.  will try.
[08:58] <Mend> mustard5: ok
[08:58] <scifi> ok thx
[08:58] <Mend> mustard5: it is my second problem (mysql-browser) :)
[08:58] <Phex_> fuckin windows
[08:58] <nickrud> intelikey, I thought 6 was reboot?
[08:58] <makaveli> it say command not found
[08:58] <makaveli> jason
[08:59] <intelikey> nickrud it is.
[08:59] <_jason> makaveli: can you check for typos?  if you can't find any, paste exactly what you entered
[08:59] <intelikey> tty1 [root#~]  ls /etc/rc?.d -d
[08:59] <mustard5> Phex_, watch the language in here
[08:59] <intelikey>  /etc/rc0.d  /etc/rc1.d  /etc/rc6.d  /etc/rcS.d
[08:59] <makaveli> wat u mean typos? jason
[08:59] <bliss1_> hi
[08:59] <mustard5> Phex_, its got strict language rules
[08:59] <Phex_> ok i'll do it
[08:59] <Mend> mustard5: i will try to find answer to my second problem then switch to linux and try what you taught me
[08:59] <Mend> mustard5: thank u very much
[08:59] <mustard5> Mend k
[08:59] <bliss1_> roryy: nope nevermind
[08:59] <Phex_> but i'm angry about my Windows XP
[09:00] <Phex_> so i say sorry
[09:00] <nickrud> intelikey, my my my, I'm interested in how you start your system
[09:00] <mustard5> Mend, good luck..I don't know how it will go with a 'winmodem', but I hope it all goes smoothly :)
[09:00] <seanh456768> Anybody got any idea about my wireless problem? I'm trying to get Ubuntu installed for a friend, but I need to get the wless working first. It detects the networks and appears to connect to them, but no download
[09:00] <_jason> makaveli: typos mean typographical errors.  See if you made a typing mistake
[09:00] <roryy> bliss1_: didn't help?
[09:00] <Phex_> about my language
[09:00] <makaveli> i put the sudo dpkk thing jason
[09:00] <makaveli> dpkg
[09:00] <intelikey> nickrud tty1 [root#~]  cat /etc/inittab
[09:00] <intelikey> android:1:initdefault:
[09:01] <Mend> mustard5: but after installing slmodem ubuntu recognized the modem, i thought the problem was solved...
[09:01] <Phex_> now let me see you later bye bye
[09:01] <_jason> makaveli: copy what you entered, and paste it here
[09:01] <intelikey> arrr that's id::1:initdefault:
[09:01] <jmoncayo> can sombody help me with aterm>
[09:01] <mustard5> Mend its certainly sounds solved if its recognised :)
[09:01] <Mend> has anyone ever installed mysql query browser from source?
[09:01] <makaveli> makaveli@ool-44c6fdd4:~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg -i frostwire
[09:01] <makaveli> Password:
[09:01] <makaveli> makaveli@ool-44c6fdd4:~/Desktop$
[09:01] <Mend> mustard5: but ppp is new for me
[09:01] <intelikey> like i said nickrud 1 is multiuser here now.
[09:01] <jrbl> mwe, I'm not finding it, could you give me a url?  I see NetworkPrintingFromUbuntu, but that redirects to NetworkPRintingFromWindows.  Is that what I'm supposed to read?
[09:02] <_jason> makaveli: type 'sudo echo hi', what happens?
[09:02] <axisys> hmm.. anyone here use pcmcia card w/ his/her laptop?
[09:02] <axisys> s/use/uses/
[09:02] <nickrud> intelikey, ah. I missed that part, thanks. (And you have just validated debian's philosophy, the run levels belong to the sys admin :)
[09:02] <makaveli> makaveli@ool-44c6fdd4:~/Desktop$  sudo echo hi
[09:02] <makaveli> makaveli@ool-44c6fdd4:~/Desktop$
[09:02] <makaveli> jason
[09:03] <bliss1_> roryy: nop but you see it may be related to the fact that A) i had to diable USB legacy in BIOS  so I could use my keypad in the other debain partition which has the same kernal 2.6 as ubuntu I can only assume its that as the problem started at that time
[09:03] <_jason> makaveli: is this the first user you created during install?
[09:03] <WolfmanK> anyone know why tightvncserver isn't on apt-get anymore?
[09:03] <makaveli> noo jason
[09:03] <makaveli> y?
[09:03] <intelikey> nickrud that's not debian specific  :)   that's  geek specific  lol
[09:03] <mwe> jrbl: what do you want, printing in windows to a linux printer or the other way around?
[09:03] <nickrud> :)
[09:03] <seanh456768> Anyone heard of the same wireless card being less receptive on Ubuntu than on Windows? Is that possible?
[09:03] <_jason> makaveli: because he doesn't have sudo privileges (he can't do admin stuff)
[09:03] <Hexidigital> does anyone know of a good DVD ripping program?  i need to send an .avi file to a co-worker for a project
[09:03] <gahan> is libx264-dev officially in breezy? i can see it in multiverse though apt-cache doesn't find it :-/
[09:03] <_jason> makaveli: do you still have the first user you made?
[09:03] <jrbl> mwe, I want to print from a different linux host to this one.
[09:03] <makaveli> yesss
[09:03] <mwe> jrbl: oh
[09:04] <_jason> makaveli: do you want to make this current user an admin too?
[09:04] <jrbl> There doesn't appear to be a wiki node for that?
[09:04] <makaveli> yes jason
[09:04] <_jason> makaveli: ok type 'groups' for me and paste the output
[09:04] <mwe> jrbl: I'm not sure the wiki covers that. it should be easy though. I'll try finding an url for you
[09:04] <nickrud> gahan, that deb is in dapper
[09:04] <intelikey> seanh456768 if it's not configured properly
[09:04] <makaveli> makaveli adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner
[09:04] <cablop> i'ved to go now
[09:04] <cablop> bye everybody, see you later
[09:05] <Mend> intelikey: thanks for your help: i will also try your variant to launch dial up
[09:05] <roryy> bliss1_: i don't know what else you can do, sorry.  I guess ubuntuforums.org is a good place to ask.
[09:05] <_jason> makaveli: ok, type 'su the_name_of_the_first_user_you_created'
[09:05] <jrbl> mwe, that's great.  Thanks very much.
[09:05] <seanh456768> intelikey - I had to use ndiswrapper to get it working, I downloaded an inf file with the same name as the sys file that Windows is using for it
[09:05] <bliss1_> roryy; thats why that thread back in feb was all about that
[09:05] <axisys> Hexidigital: go to wiki.ubuntu.com and search dvd rip and the first link
[09:06] <southern> guys do I need iptables NAT if I have transparent proxy for netsharing?
[09:06] <makaveli> type my password or the my fist 1 ?
[09:06] <Hexidigital> axisys, thanks... i have searched for 2 hours :)
[09:06] <jmoncayo> which is latest kernel for ubuntu?
[09:06] <_jason> makaveli: type the password for the first user created
[09:06] <gahan> nickrud: dapper is still unstable is it?
[09:06] <gahan> !dapper
[09:06] <ubotu> Dapper Drake will be the next release of Ubuntu - due June 1 (see: http://tinyurl.com/qyrkq). Join channel #ubuntu+1 for discussion :)
[09:06] <axisys> Hexidigital: in wiki.ubuntu.com ?
[09:06] <nickrud> gahan, yes. It's due for release in jue
[09:06] <makaveli> junior@ool-44c6fdd4:/home/makaveli/Desktop$
[09:06] <nickrud> june
[09:06] <makaveli> jason
[09:06] <intelikey> Mend yeah,  i don't know if winmodem is the same as modem there or not... that's why i quit when you said 'winmodem'   but with real modems it's the way to go.  wvdial even supports multi-location configuration,  it's nice.
[09:06] <Hexidigital> axisys, no, google
[09:06] <makaveli> junior@ool-44c6fdd4:/home/makaveli/Desktop$
[09:06] <_jason> makaveli: now type 'sudo adduser makaveli admin'
[09:07] <cycom> how do I change the program a file opens with by default?
[09:07] <southern> please answer me...
[09:07] <axisys> Hexidigital: ok.. site:ubuntu.com in google would help
[09:07] <southern> so do I need iptables NAT if I have transparent proxy for netsharing?
[09:07] <nickrud> cycom, right click the file, select properties and then the tab open with
[09:07] <Mend> intelikey: but the good news is that my laptop recognized the modem via slmodem driver
[09:07] <Hexidigital> axisys, i'll remember that next time
[09:07] <WolfmanK> doea anyone know why tightvncserver isn't on apt-cache...
[09:07] <makaveli> type my password or the first one?
[09:08] <bliss1_> roryy; i have a little question if you some work in say hda1 or hda2 and they do not reboot you have to switch on and switch on if you do updatedb before you close will this save everyting?
[09:08] <Mend> intelikey: so wvdial may work for me
[09:08] <_jason> makaveli: first one, remember try to type _jason in front of your responses if they are directed at me
[09:08] <nickrud> WolfmanK, it shows here (breezy)
[09:08] <intelikey> yeah. Mend
[09:08] <bliss1_> roryy:switch off
[09:08] <makaveli> jason_ it say junior@ool-44c6fdd4:/home/makaveli/Desktop$ ok
[09:08] <[PoVal] Dutchy> errm is this correct that firefox 1.0.7 is the latest version for breezy?
[09:08] <seanh456768> Can anyone help me with wireless card configuration? What are the different config options I should know? I didn't see any settings in Ubuntu
[09:08] <_jason> makaveli: ok now 'exit'
[09:08] <cycom> nickrud: thanks! is there a way to do it without having that type of file?
[09:08] <WolfmanK> nickrud:   apt-cache can't findit
[09:09] <nickrud> WolfmanK, did you enable the universe repository?
[09:09] <roryy> bliss1_: updatedb is only used for the 'locate' tool, which is just a file-indexer -- it's not a very important utility
[09:09] <nickrud> cycom, not that i've been able to find.
[09:09] <WolfmanK> nickrud: how do I do that?
[09:09] <roryy> bliss1_: well, at least not in the context of losing data
[09:09] <nickrud> !tell WolfmanK about universe
[09:09] <id`>  /win move 5
[09:09] <id`> ack
[09:09] <intelikey> !tell WolfmanK about repos
[09:09] <nickrud> WolfmanK, there's a link from ubotu in a pm
[09:09] <makaveli> jason_ what next?
[09:09] <bliss1_> roryy: so reboot is the big one
[09:09] <_jason> makaveli: then you should be back to makaveli as the user, then type 'sudo echo hi', what does it say?
[09:09] <cycom> nickrud: ok. Thanks again!
[09:10] <WolfmanK> thanks nickrud
[09:10] <harrisale> how do i get sound to work on flash
[09:10] <roryy> bliss1_: well, you should never just reboot; always shutdown.  This applies to any modern PC OS
[09:10] <makaveli> jason_ it saymakaveli@ool-44c6fdd4:~$  sudo echo hi
[09:10] <makaveli> makaveli@ool-44c6fdd4:~$
[09:10] <id`> I didnt write it on the CD. Is there a way to check what release of ubuntu I have? I didnt download it just now but i had the cd lying around for some time.
[09:10] <_jason> harrisale: install alsa-oss and run firefox as 'aoss firefox'
[09:10] <_jason> makaveli: ok you need to logout and then log back in
[09:11] <bliss1_> roryy: shutdown -h now this saves everything?
[09:11] <makaveli> ok
[09:11] <nickrud> harrisale, there's several possible problems, see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats , it has some flash troubleshooting
[09:11] <harrisale> ok where do i get that
[09:11] <id`> I just installed ubuntu, and somehow i cant 'su -', i do remember the installer ask me for a username twice or something
[09:11] <pinkmermaid> Hey all... Silly question: Is there a way to make the desktop wallpaper stretch in such a way that it just goes to the edges of the panels, so that the panels don't cover up part of the image?
[09:11] <mwe> jrbl: can't find anything right now. basically make sure the printer if configured to be shared with ipp and enter the url on the other computer when you add the printer, make sure the firewall is not blocking port 631
[09:11] <_jason> !info alsa-oss

[09:11] <jenda> Oi - is there a way to browse cached sites in firefox? When a site is no longer available online?
[09:11] <nickrud> harrisale,  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[09:11] <_jason> harrisale: enable universe and use synaptic
[09:11] <harrisale> aight
[09:11] <harrisale> ill check back in a minute
[09:11] <intelikey> id` the kernel would tell you.   uname -r   if it's running.   and compare the kernel with the codenames
[09:11] <cycom> pinkmermaid: not that I know of, but a good idea might be to find the pixel count of the bars and add those to the image.
[09:11] <southern> guys do I need iptables NAT if I have transparent proxy for netsharing?
[09:12] <id`> Anyone?
[09:12] <MTecknology> When the sound is off on my laptop, Java/Flash games will still play sounds. Why is this?
[09:12] <makaveli> jason_ok
[09:12] <nickrud> _jason, does that fix most problems (I'll parrot it often)
[09:12] <jrbl> mwe, ok, thanks.  To share with ipp, is there a gnome widget, or do I have to go monkey with cups.conf, etc.
[09:12] <jrbl> ?
[09:12] <roryy> bliss1_: well, it will shut the computer down 'properly', which means all unwritten data will be sent to the disk and so on.  If you have open applications with unsaved data, that data might be lost.
[09:12] <pinkmermaid> cycom, thanks~
[09:12] <learnerr> i need help

[09:13] <learnerr> i want to install ubuntu on another sata disk
[09:13] <WolfmanK> nickrud:  I'm doing this remotely ssh do you know how to add universe via sudo/cli?
[09:13] <learnerr> does grub will be able to boot both disk?
[09:13] <bliss1_> roryy: like installing a new kernel and saving do not rboot shutdown

[09:13] <_jason> makaveli: ok 'sudo echo hi'
[09:13] <roryy> bliss1_: i don't think I understand your question
[09:13] <_jason> id`: try lsb_release -a
[09:13] <makaveli> jason_nothin
[09:13] <nickrud> WolfmanK, sure. Look for every occurence of universe (around lines 18-22), remove the # at the beginning, and add multiverse to the end.
[09:13] <MTecknology> When the sound is off on my laptop, Java/Flash games will still play sounds. How do I change this??

[09:13] <mwe> jrbl: I don't use gnome. I think you can do it from the interface
[09:13] <nickrud> WolfmanK, then sudo apt-get update
[09:14] <roryy> bliss1_: if you reboot using, say, 'shutdown -r now', that is also OK -- it's a normal shutdown followed by a reboot

[09:14] <makaveli> yess

[09:14] <mwe> [C] hris: I just plug mine in
[09:14] <nickrud> WolfmanK, heh :) /etc/apt/sources.list . doh
[09:15] <WolfmanK> nickrud: thanks again...   :D
[09:15] <harrisale> anyone know how i can recover data on my messed ntfs
[09:15] <[C] hris> mve, k wel tlhat doesnt work for me
[09:15] <Hexidigital> something interesting just happened... nothing i need troubleshooting with, but thought it was wierd... i changed my ~/images folder's name to ~/img about 3 hours ago and my desktop just defaulted back to the original image now...
[09:15] <mwe> [C] hris: usb?
[09:15] <[C] hris> yes
[09:15] <intelikey> harrisale 'testdisk'
[09:15] <bliss1_> roryy:  but in my case shutdown -r now does not work I must invoke shutdown -h now, just on another can you force a reboot
[09:15] <marek_> when i create an smb share, how do i connect w/ windows? the login info doesnt seem to work?
[09:15] <makaveli> jason_ u want me to restart my pc?
[09:15] <MTecknology> Come on, doesn't anybody in here have an answer?
[09:15] <harrisale> i tried testdisk but i cant access the parittion
[09:15] <mwe> [C] hris: try plugging it in the type dmesg in a terminal right after and tell me if anything shows
[09:16] <_jason> makaveli: no, you shouldn't have to... 'su junior'
[09:16] <learnerr> marek_ you should see the mount at least
[09:16] <id`> intelikey: well the thing is, theres a 'hda1' icon on my desktop but i have no rights to it. It seems that i have breezy badger. is there a newer release out? (I'd like the latest, and a reinstall/download is no problem at all)
[09:16] <mwe> [C] hris: like a new device being discovered
[09:16] <_jason> makaveli: then paste the output of 'groups' after you are junior
[09:16] <intelikey> MTecknology alsamixer
[09:16] <roryy> bliss1_: I do not understand "just on another can you force a reboot"
[09:16] <makaveli> jason_junior@ool-44c6fdd4:/home/makaveli$
[09:16] <mustard5> MTecknology, when you say the sound is 'off' where is it turned off?
[09:16] <_jason> makaveli: try to put the _ before the j ;)
[09:17] <intelikey> !tell id` about dapper
[09:17] <MTecknology> mustard5, using the sound buttons on the side, it shows the volume changing on the screen
[09:17] <marek_> learnerr, when it prompts for password to connect (from windows), what do i enter?
[09:17] <bliss1_> roryy; yep its me not understanding   i mean is there a way to force a reboot if shutdown -r now does not work
[09:17] <intelikey> !tell id` about ntfs
[09:17] <harrisale> anyone know how i can recover data on my messed ntfs, i tried testdisk but i cant access the partition, "Bad Boot Sector" testdisk says
[09:17] <makaveli> jason_ y we have to go through all this trouble for frostwire?
[09:17] <mustard5> MTecknology, external controls on your laptop?
[09:18] <MTecknology> yea
[09:18] <_jason> makaveli: you need to be an admin to install things
[09:18] <id`> intelikey: ah ofcource so stupid, im saying hda1 and no bell rings
[09:18] <intelikey> harrisale 'testdisk'
[09:18] <harrisale> i did
[09:18] <harrisale> i dont work
[09:18] <roryy> bliss1_: i don't know; I don't think so. I think gnome and kde probably use 'shutdown' to shutdown or reboot the computer.
[09:18] <soxquez> hello
[09:18] <harrisale> it rewrite the part, but i cant acess it
[09:18] <makaveli> jason_i type su junior what i did wrong
[09:18] <MrKubuntuUser> Hi, I recently installed Dapper Drake Flight 6 on a computer and I'm getting very slow speeds on lp0.  It looks like DMA is disabled - I looked somewhere (can't remember where now) to find the status of DMA and it returned -1.  Can anybody help me?
[09:18] <marek_> learnerr, when it prompts for password from windows, what username and pass do i enter?
[09:18] <_jason> makaveli: type 'groups'
[09:19] <nickrud> bliss1_, a silly question, but you are using sudo?
[09:19] <bliss1_> roryy: yes
[09:19] <makaveli> jason_ok then wat
[09:19] <_jason> makaveli: paste what it says
[09:19] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: logs saying anything? dmesg?
[09:19] <makaveli> junior@ool-44c6fdd4:/home/makaveli$
[09:19] <mustard5> MTecknology, have you checked to see which volume settings are being effected by the external control?
[09:19] <bliss1_> nickrud: yes
[09:19] <mustard5> MTecknology, maybe its only controlling one particular setting
[09:20] <MTecknology> mustard5, it's the master control
[09:20] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe:  Hello.  I didn't see anything in the logs that was abnormal.  Just a thing about what resource lp0 was using
[09:20] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: hmm
[09:20] <[C] hris> mve, doesnt print anything useful
[09:20] <mwe> [C] hris: it doesn't see the new device?
[09:20] <tonyyarusso> Can someone tell me how to use bootchart on Breezy?
[09:20] <MTecknology> mustard5, PCM isn't seperate from Master, is it?
[09:20] <_jason> makaveli: I mean, what it says when you type 'groups'
[09:21] <learnerr> this hdd is booting with win2k
[09:21] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe:  parport0, I think it said
[09:21] <learnerr> i want to install ubuntu on another sata disk
[09:21] <learnerr> does grub will be able to boot both disk?
[09:21] <mustard5> MTecknology, well I would assume it wasnt, but I could be wrong
[09:21] <TheAsp> Is there any chance dapper will ship with 2.6.17?  I have a card (the audio part of my bt878) that only works with 2.6.17 aparently
[09:21] <makaveli> that
[09:21] <[C] hris> mve, nope
[09:21] <makaveli> jason_the same thing i send u
[09:21] <_jason> makaveli: grep ^admin /etc/group
[09:21] <[C] hris> mve, it does when i plug my camera in just not my mp3 player
[09:21] <bliss1_> roryy: the thing is the reason that I ask this question about my reboot not working is that I am installing xen on the other debain partition and the final command in the howto is shutdown -r now so you see i cannot but I can  do shutdown -h now
[09:21] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe:  It is in fact the port, though... outputting a text file to lp0 from the command prompt is also slow
[09:21] <MTecknology> mustard5, well I guess I have it figured out enought to work
[09:22] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: I'm not really into DMA for printers. maybe you can somehow enably DMA manually like for a hdd
[09:22] <MTecknology> How can I force games to play at a specific speed, like 1/4 speed?
[09:22] <makaveli> jason_admin:x:106:
[09:22] <mwe> [C] hris: are the usb modules loaded. lsmod|grep hcd
[09:22] <_jason> makaveli: 'sudo -l
[09:22] <_jason> '
[09:22] <[C] hris> looks that way
[09:23] <makaveli> jason_Sorry, user junior may not run sudo on localhost.
[09:23] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe:  Hmm... OK.  Any idea how I could do that?  Why would it operating at a lower speed in Kubuntu than in Win2K?
[09:23] <roryy> bliss1_: 'shutdown -r now' doesn't even work in a virtual machine?
[09:23] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: because DMA is disabled. that would be a huge performance hit
[09:23] <roryy> bliss1_: i know nothing about zen, sorry
[09:23] <roryy> bliss1_: or xen ;)
[09:23] <mustard5> MTecknology, I have no idea about that question :)
[09:23] <_jason> makaveli: 'id'
[09:23] <[C] hris> mve, yes they are loaded
[09:23] <intelikey> looks like junior is not in the admin group maybe
[09:24] <makaveli> jason_uid=1000(junior) gid=1000(junior) groups=1000(junior)
[09:24] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe:  How could I enable that?  (I don't know how to enable it for a HDD, either...)
[09:24] <mwe> [C] hris: you probably need the mass storage module as well. I don't know why they don't autoload though. I wonder why the kernel doesn't discover the device
[09:24] <lincore> exit
[09:24] <bliss1_> roryy: thats ok is just sfter the install I will use shutdoen -h now thanks for your support
[09:24] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: for a hdd you use hdparm. I don't think that works for a printer
[09:24] <roryy> bliss1_: ok, i hope i helped
[09:24] <nickrud> MrKubuntuUser, my experience is that most printers run slower in linux than windows, primarily because the drivers aren't as efficient
[09:25] <_jason> makaveli: ok, you have no user in the admin group.  We have to fix that.  You are going to have to do this to get makaveli in the admin group: restart and choose ``recovery mode'' from the grub menu (you may have to hit ESC to see the menu), then do the command 'adduser makaveli admin', then reboot
[09:25] <[C] hris> bah okay thanks i'll look at it more later because i dont really have time ot fix it right now
[09:25] <[C] hris> btw its no ta ipod
[09:25] <makaveli> k
[09:25] <[C] hris> its a creative micro zen
[09:25] <makaveli> brb
[09:25] <MrKubuntuUser> nickrud:  No, it's the actual parallel port that's the problem... sending plain text to the port from Konsole is slow and my printer driver is RAW.
[09:25] <intelikey> mwe the kernel isn't looking for devices.  the startup proccess in the initrd.img and the SysVinit scripts load the modules.
[09:26] <bliss1_> roryy: yes at leat i know a bit more I must tell this chat channel ROCKS as does the forum its a real breath of freah air to the linux world
[09:26] <mwe> intelikey: but shouldn't hotplug see it and inform the kernel or something?
[09:26] <roryy> bliss1_: glad to hear it :)
[09:26] <bliss1_> nickrud;  do you agree with my last post to roryy
[09:26] <intelikey> mwe put the module name in /etc/modules.conf
[09:27] <MTecknology> what is a good cpu slower?
[09:27] <intelikey> MTecknology underclocking ?
[09:27] <nickrud> bliss1_,  yes this is a fairly kind place :)
[09:27] <mwe> intelikey: well I think he's module is loaded, but the system doesn't see that he plugs in a usb device
[09:27] <mabus06> Can somebody please help me to get my microphone working? I unmute it in volume controll, set it to capture, but it still doesn't work. It's on. It's plugged in. It's worked on ubuntu before. I've asked here like a bunch of times, and googled for it, but I can't find any help. Any ideas?
[09:27] <MTecknology> intelikely, yep
[09:28] <intelikey> mwe then idk.
[09:28] <bliss1_> roryy: catch you later
[09:28] <Rondom> mabus06: , have you selected the correct input source
[09:28] <roryy> bliss1_: goodbye
[09:28] <tonyyarusso> intelikey: Can you point me to a doc for underclocking/undervolting?
[09:28] <intelikey> MTecknology hehhe using this 100mhz system i never thought of underclocking.....
[09:28] <mustard5> mabus06, I could only really ask all the standard questions. :)
[09:29] <bliss1_> nickrud: take just a little time out catch you later
[09:29] <jmoncayo> why do i get this jmoncayo@linux:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade

[09:29] <southern> I have problem. Let see... So I'm running a breezy server and there is a samba and NAT (netshare) with dsl connect. Yesterday I rebooted it but after the XP clients can't browse the internet only google. Btw ping and dns working... PLEASE HELP ME!!!! :(( I haven't faced whit this prb before..
[09:29] <Rondom> input source select under options in the mixer-app
[09:30] <marek_> sudo smbpasswd -a macmarek
[09:30] <marek_> is that right?
[09:30] <intelikey> tonyyarusso i can help you google for it.  but off hand, no idea.
[09:30] <mustard5> mabus06, just checking whether it's plugged into the right spot on your soundcard or whatever you are using :)
[09:30] <Rondom> maybe you have to make it visible under settings
[09:30] <tonyyarusso> intelikey: Don't bother then; thought you might have a link lying around.
[09:30] <makaveli> jason_done
[09:30] <intelikey> tonyyarusso no. sorry.
[09:31] <mwe> jmoncayo: please use pastebin.com. what did you type that gave you that?
[09:31] <mabus06> mustard5: Pink connector into pink hole? Yeah, I managed that.
[09:31] <makaveli> jason_what next
[09:31] <mustard5> mabus06, ah color coded..too easy :)
[09:31] <mustard5> mabus06, wish mine was so easy :D
[09:31] <_jason> makaveli: 'sudo echo hi'
[09:31] <ncsa> hi
[09:31] <jmoncayo> mwe, apt-get upgrade
[09:32] <jenda> !ntfs
[09:32] <ubotu> well, ntfs is the filesystem used in Windows NT and newer; to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[09:32] <mwe> jmoncayo: maybe you should apt-get dist-upgrade instead then
[09:32] <makaveli> jason_hi
[09:32] <mustard5> mabus06, have you got more than one capture device?
[09:32] <_jason> makaveli: good
[09:32] <mwe> jmoncayo: that should work
[09:32] <jenda> anyone know about NTFS write support? how far is 'experimental' to date?
[09:32] <klm-> how can I make package manager understand RAR's?
[09:32] <_jason> makaveli: cd ~/Desktop, and then: sudo dpkg -i frost<tab>
[09:32] <mwe> jenda: it's getting better but is not safe at all yet
[09:33] <jmoncayo> mwe, its working thanks
[09:33] <intelikey> tonyyarusso mmm maybe  http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0102.1/0478.html  or  http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.linux.acpi.devel/month=20040101
[09:33] <jenda> mwe: so... just how possible is it yet?
[09:33] <mabus06> mustard5: only one device plugged in, but there is a line in and mic slot on my sound card
[09:33] <tonyyarusso> intelikey: Shall take a look.

[09:36] <intelikey> RogueJediX howto get it working... no  but  testing   od /dev/js0      or js1 or what ever number.  and move the stick.
[09:36] <jenda> mwe: OK, thanks :)
[09:36] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe:  It looks like if the kernel was compiled properly, I can use parport=0x378,7,1 at the boot prompt (assuimg that's my settings in BIOS).  Did I read that correctly?

[09:43] <_jason> makaveli: ok, so you have it already then?
[09:43] <polpak> ncsa, I don't think it specific to synaptic..
[09:43] <makaveli> i have to reistall my pc
[09:43] <mustard5> mabus06, do you have any other mics on your system that might be built in?  on your monitor perhaps?
[09:43] <mwe> jenda: write hate mail to microsoft for not providing details of how ntfs is working to the public. it kinda hard to reverse engineer everything
[09:44] <intelikey> that's one place to put it RogueJediX :)
[09:44] <makaveli> jason_ i dont  have it no more
[09:44] <polpak> !tell makaveli about frostwire
[09:44] <_jason> makaveli: what I told you is the ``code'' as you call it.   We try to be nice and help but some of us don't like to see such things on our screen.
[09:45] <_jason> !language
[09:45] <jenda> mwe: i know. Maybe it's easier to destroy MS straight away.   I installed it but it doesn't seem to have run.
[09:47] <mustard5> mabus06, you tried enabling some switches in preferences?
[09:47] <polpak> echo, I don't find it insulting. I just think it's funny that they think their continued suffering under windows somehow hurts us
[09:47] <echo> brb all i need to go across to the deli
[09:47] <echo> anyone want anything?
[09:47] <Bambino> To install a deb file. all i have todo is write dpkg -i file.deb ?
[09:47] <polpak> Bambino, sudo
[09:48] <jenda> mwe, sorry - I act on principle. I ain't ever gonna use another piece of MS BS, if I can help it :) So no NTFS for me. Unfortunately, people are too dependent on it. Free the world! :)
[09:48] <Bambino> polpak, yes after that, is it installed?
[09:48] <intelikey> tonyyarusso bootchart doesn't seem to be avalable in hoary so i have no idea what it is.
[09:48] <polpak> Bambino, yes
[09:48] <jrbl> So, can anyone tell me how I can set my system to always load certain kernel modules on boot, like 'lp'?
[09:48] <nickrud> _jason, you have a pretty good batting average. Brush it off :)
[09:48] <fly-away> hi all
[09:48] <polpak> Bambino, dpkg -L package name will tell you what it installed
[09:48] <mwe> jenda: yeah. I don't use it either
[09:48] <_jason> nickrud: yeah, you're right
[09:48] <smr624> !screensize
[09:48] <ubotu> smr624: Bugger all, I dunno. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[09:48] <fly-away> anybody have worked compiz on amd64?
[09:49] <tonyyarusso> intelikey: No, it's for dapper mainly but there's a version that supposedly works for breezy.  It tracks times of various activities during boot and is supposed to make a .png graphing them.
[09:49] <finley> Znarl: greet
[09:49] <smr624> i do fly-away
[09:49] <mwe> jenda: that is when I can avoid it
[09:49] <intelikey> ah nifty.
[09:49] <tonyyarusso> intelikey: (Why are you still on hoary?)
[09:49] <intelikey> dialup
[09:49] <polpak> intelikey, =(
[09:49] <Bambino> polpak, Preparing to replace libxrender1 1:<IP_ADDRESS>-1 (using libxrender1_<IP_ADDRESS>-1_amd64. its trying to replace the existing package already, right?
[09:50] <TTT_Travis> I am trying to install kernel modules and this is what I get I know very little about this stuff so yeah: http://pastebin.com/660183
[09:50] <nickrud> tonyyarusso, did you look for /var/log/bootchart?
[09:50] <polpak> Bambino, I'm not sure what the question is?
[09:50] <intelikey> tonyyarusso i guess i'll probably get shippit when 6.6 comes out.
[09:50] <tonyyarusso> nickrud: Doesn't exist.
[09:50] <tonyyarusso> intelikey: Good plan.
[09:50] <intelikey> only because they plan to support it for five years.
[09:50] <Bambino> polpak, I tried to install libxrenderl <IP_ADDRESS>.. and i did the sudo dpkg -i file.deb but when i try to install curl it says: libxrender-dev: Depends: libxrender1 (= 1:0.9.0-1) but 1:<IP_ADDRESS>-1 is to be in
[09:51] <smr624> how do i resize my screen, without reconfigureing x
[09:51] <intelikey> i don't upgrade things.   "if it aint broke, don't fix it"  :)
[09:51] <jmoncayo> do i really need the sync clock with ubuntu.org ant boot time?
[09:51] <echo> little off the subject here... everyone needs to drink smart water
[09:51] <naxxtor> I've got a PCi bluetooth adaptor - it shows up in lsusb but hciconfig returns nothing, hcitool scan says "Device not available"
[09:51] <echo> its great!!!
[09:51] <disposable> what takes care of automounting in kde(3.4.3)? when i plug in a flashdrive, dmesg says it's recognised, but it doesn't get mounted and the icon does not apper on the desktop. (breezy) pmount works fine when done manually.
[09:51] <intelikey> smr624 [ctrl] +[alt] +[+]
[09:52] <nickrud> jmoncayo, not really, but it's nice to have your box close to internet time
[09:52] <mwe> smr624: if you cannot do it from the system menu you cannot without editing xorg.conf
[09:52] <MTecknology> I have a short paste, can somebody tell me how to fix this problem?
[09:52] <tonyyarusso> echo: We accept all kinds of random off topic ramblings in #ubuntu-offtopic, for future reference.  :)
[09:52] <MTecknology> michael@mlustfield:~/Desktop$ tar xvzf rovclock-0.6e.tar.bz2
[09:52] <MTecknology> gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
[09:52] <MTecknology> tar: Child returned status 1
[09:52] <MTecknology> tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[09:52] <mwe> MTecknology: don't paste in here
[09:52] <polpak> !tar.bz2
[09:52] <ubotu> somebody said tar.bz2 was a compressed archive similar to a zip file.  tar jxvf filename.tar.gz to extract.
[09:52] <_jason> MTecknology: change the z to a j
[09:52] <tonyyarusso> MTecknology: Don't paste, but change the z to j.
[09:52] <nickrud> MTecknology, try xf rov....
[09:52] <echo> ok so im trying to figure out how to hook up my nvidia graf card.,.. i got the wiki, i really think im just screwin something up....
[09:52] <echo> does it matter that the video card isnt in the computer right now
[09:52] <intelikey> MTecknology yep.  first don't flood;  second use the correct switch for tar
[09:52] <polpak> echo, it's fairly straight forward
[09:52] <disposable> MTecknology, use tar xvjf filename.tar.bz2    ubotu says rubbish about this
[09:52] <jmoncayo> nickrud, but what if i turn on my laptop and it isnt hooked up to the internet it will give an error?
[09:52] <MTecknology> ok, got it
[09:53] <MTecknology> ty
[09:53] <polpak> echo yes it does..
[09:53] <Bambino> polpak, so i dont understand what it is missing
[09:53] <smr624> mwe, how would I edit xorg.conf for better resolution?
[09:53] <nickrud> jmoncayo, the error is harmless, it's just saying it didn't update the time
[09:53] <naxxtor> apparently my USB adaptor uses the hci_usb driver - how can i make sure it's installed?
[09:53] <intelikey> MTecknology you could have pasted that line on the end of your question like this "<MTecknology> gzip: stdin: not in gzip format"  without offending.
[09:53] <mwe> smr624: yeah
[09:54] <smr624> no, how?
[09:54] <MTecknology> ok
[09:54] <polpak> Bambino, it's complaining because libxrender-dev requires version 1:0.9.0-1 exactly, and you have 1:<IP_ADDRESS>-1
[09:54] <disposable> can somebody please fix UBOTU? it says to use     tar jxvt on a .gz file instead of .bz2 file
[09:54] <echo> polpak - when i configure it its not in the computer
[09:54] <disposable> s/jxvt/jxvf
[09:54] <echo> polpak - then i restart and put it in
[09:54] <smr624> disposable, its zxvf for .gz
[09:54] <intelikey> !tar.gz
[09:54] <ubotu> tar.gz is, like, a compressed archive similar to a zip file.  tar zxvf filename.tar.gz to extract.
[09:54] <tonyyarusso> disposable: Good point.
[09:54] <Bambino> polpak, Oh! cant i have both installed?
[09:54] <Madman1234> i can only get my wireless connection working if i set my windows laptop to the same mac address and connect with the windows laptop...once i do that my linux wireless connection works
[09:54] <jmoncayo> nickrud, oki, have used aterm?
[09:54] <nickrud> jmoncayo, you can disable it by editing /etc/default/ntpdate and commenting out the time servers
[09:54] <intelikey> disposable ?
[09:54] <polpak> Bambino, probably not
[09:54] <Madman1234> what is windows doing that ubuntu's not?
[09:55] <disposable> tonyyarusso, smr624, i know what it should be, it's just that ubotu confuses people
[09:55] <nickrud> jmoncayo, a very long time ago, too long to remember anything
[09:55] <polpak> Bambino, you'll need a newer version of the dev package
[09:55] <smr624> !tar.gz
[09:55] <ubotu> it has been said that tar.gz is a compressed archive similar to a zip file.  tar zxvf filename.tar.gz to extract.
[09:55] <tonyyarusso> disposable: You're right.  I'm on it.
[09:55] <smr624> looks fime to me
[09:55] <smr624> *fine
[09:55] <roryy> tonyyarusso: i already fixed it (i hope ;)
[09:55] <polpak> Madman1234, possibly sending a hostname?
 worked perfectly!!!
[09:55] <mwe> ubotu: tar.bz2 =~ s/gz/bz2/
[09:55] <ubotu> mwe: OK
[09:55] <mwe> !tar.bz2
[09:55] <tonyyarusso> roryy: No...
[09:55] <ubotu> hmm... tar.bz2 is a compressed archive similar to a zip file.  tar jxvf filename.tar.bz2 to extract.
[09:56] <nickrud> jmoncayo, check that, editing default/ntpdate doesn't disable it sorry
[09:56] <roryy> luckyshot: gnomebaker works ? good.
[09:56] <tonyyarusso> There we go.
[09:56] <MTecknology> http://pastebin.com/660196 - what's wrong?
[09:56] <Madman1234> can i make linux do that?
[09:56] <MystaMax> hello
[09:56] <intelikey> disposable i think some body is confused but not ubotu....
 yes, thanks for recomending that!! : D
[09:56] <polpak> Madman1234, yes
[09:56] <Madman1234> how
[09:56] <roryy> luckyshot: cool. no problem.
[09:56] <polpak> Madman1234, /etc/dhclient has the config for your dhcp client AFAIK
[09:56] <MrKubuntuUser> Does anybody here know how I could figure out what options the Ubuntu kernel was compiled with?  I need to know if CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO is present
[09:56] <Madman1234> i'm not using dhcp
[09:57] <polpak> Madman1234, really?
[09:57] <Madman1234> not on linux
[09:57] <TTT_Travis> I am trying to install kernel modules and this is what I get I know very little about this stuff so yeah: http://pastebin.com/660183
[09:57] <polpak> Madman1234, what kind of network connection do you have?
[09:57] <smr624> MTecknology, cat README
[09:57] <Madman1234> 802.11b
[09:57] <polpak> Madman1234, to a dsl/cable router?
[09:57] <nickrud> MrKubuntuUser, grep -i config_parport_pc_fifo /boot/config-$(uname -r)
[09:57] <Madman1234> yeah
[09:57] <Madman1234> a microsoft mn700
[09:58] <intelikey>  cat README    yuch      less README
[09:58] <jmoncayo> nickrud, well i have a problem with aterm doesnt work the sh flag for darkening the background
[09:58] <smr624> fine
[09:58] <smr624> less
[09:58] <lufis> How do I change screen resolution in Ubuntu?
[09:58] <polpak> Madman1234, is there a reason you aren't using DHCP on the linux box?
[09:58] <mwe> TTT_Travis: is the full source installed and did you configure it?
[09:58] <nickrud> jmoncayo, I don't even have aterm installed ;(
[09:58] <polpak> !tell lufis about resolution
[09:58] <Madman1234> yes i like static addresses so i know where to find things
[09:58] <MrKubuntuUser> nickrud:  Thanks!
[09:58] <smr624> !tell smr624 about resolution
[09:58] <polpak> Madman1234, is you windows boxes using static ip?
[09:59] <Madman1234> no
[09:59] <intelikey> ah TTT_Travis have you installed b-e ?
[09:59] <intelikey> !b-e
[09:59] <ubotu> [b-e]  no make ?  you need build-essential or if you get errors saying gcc cannot create executables, or that you can't find header files like stdio.h, you need to do a    sudo aptitude install build-essential.
[09:59] <jmoncayo> nickrud, oki, have you used fluxbox?
[09:59] <tentacle> Hello. I have a question about DualScreen with ubuntu. I allready enabled TwinView (I have a nvidia card), but there are still some problems, first of all how do I set up the primary display (so that the login appears on that one, and other windows)?
[09:59] <intelikey> try that TTT_Travis ^
[09:59] <nickrud> MrKubuntuUser, I kinda looked around for stuff on parport dma (I used to compile a kernel) and the package hardinfo says dma is not enabled on my system. Let me know if you have success
[09:59] <polpak> Madman1234, I'd guess that the router may not be configure to route from unrecognized mac addresses?
[09:59] <Madman1234> the mac address is the same
[09:59] <mwe> it says not rule to make foobar
[09:59] <polpak> Madman1234, in which case you'll need to use DHCP from the linux box
[09:59] <nickrud> jmoncayo, once or twice in the past.
[10:00] <polpak> Madman1234, I know, but the windows box is getting an IP lease for that mac address from the DHCP server
[10:00] <Madman1234> hm
[10:00] <polpak> Madman1234, so until the lease expires the linux box can then route
[10:00] <Madman1234> interesting
[10:00] <jmoncayo> nickrud, is that a good window manager?
[10:00] <polpak> Madman1234, You should be able to config the router to always lease the same IP to your linux box
[10:00] <Madman1234> let me  set linux to use dhcp and see what happens hang on
[10:00] <MrKubuntuUser> nickrud:  Do you use your parallel port?  Do you mean it's disabled but present or not compiled into the kernel?
[10:00] <nickrud> jmoncayo, for people who want to edit text files to control their desktop, yes.
[10:00] <polpak> Madman1234, which would essentially give you a static ip
[10:00] <MystaMax> question, I have attempted to install proftpd, but I do not think I completed it successfully and wish to uninstall all traces of the program. Is the right command sudo apt-get remove --purge proftpd?
[10:01] <polpak> MystaMax, yeah
[10:01] <rronkiv> What is the default ROOT password on a unbuntu install?
[10:01] <MystaMax> polpak, thanks
[10:01] <polpak> !tell rronkiv about root
[10:01] <nickrud> MrKubuntuUser, I'm not sure about the kernel (I stopped because I needed to refresh my memory on how it was done). It simply was not enabled by the report. Cause undiagnosed.
[10:01] <sd> hey how much space does ubuntu need for full intsall?
[10:01] <intelikey> apt-get remove --purge proftpd
[10:02] <intelikey> MystaMax ^
[10:02] <MystaMax> thanks intelikey
[10:02] <polpak> sd, define full.. A typical desktop install takes about 3 gigs or so for the OS
[10:02] <Madman1234> polpak: doesn't work with dhcp
[10:02] <jmoncayo> nickrud, which window manager would you recomend me?
[10:02] <tentacle> sd: about 2 Gig, but the installation says It needs 10GB is recommend
[10:02] <sd> thank you much
[10:03] <nickrud> jmoncayo, personally? I've tried a lot, but over the last 5 years I've probably spend 90% of my time in gnome
[10:03] <rronkiv> is there anyway to get outside of X
[10:03] <tentacle> Does someone know about DualScreen configuration?
[10:03] <Madman1234> i can't even ping the router
[10:03] <MystaMax> do you have to restart or anything after installing/uninstalling packages???
[10:03] <FlannelKing> MystaMax: nope.
[10:03] <polpak> Madman1234, Well, my best suggestion would be to use dhcp, and in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf uncomment the send host-name and put your linux boxes host name
[10:03] <MystaMax> good deal
[10:03] <nickrud> rronkiv, ctl-alt-f1-6 will give you console terminals
[10:04] <CablD_Wrk> Madman1234  -  manual set the ip and dns
[10:04] <FlannelKing> MystaMax: unless you're upgrading your kernel, then you won't use the new kernel until you restart (but it doesn't have to be right away, you'll still run fine)
[10:04] <CablD_Wrk> then try
[10:04] <erik_> good evening guys
[10:04] <intelikey> hehhe nickrud i don't know where the other 10% of the time went i only spent less than 1% of it in gah'nome   :)
[10:04] <mzuverink> Is there a .deb file that anyone knows for the open office dictionary installer
[10:04] <erik_> i have a question
[10:04] <Madman1234> that's what i had before
[10:04] <Madman1234> static ip doesn't work either
[10:04] <dsas> MystaMax: Not usually, you get prompted if you should reboot, though you don't need to reboot immedietly.
[10:04] <MystaMax> ok, is there a way to make sure a package (proftpd) has successfully been removed?
[10:04] <MystaMax> thanks dsas
[10:04] <Madman1234> until i connect with my windows laptop which i've set to the same mac address
[10:04] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: I think if the ubuntu kernel is compiled without "use FIFO/DMA if available" it's a bug
[10:04] <mambotech> polpak:K ..I have installed realplayer but I cant seem to find out how to run it ...I want to use the plugin for FireFox
[10:04] <nickrud> intelikey, I fell in love with gnome 1 under enlightenment, I guess I've just adapted as time passed :)
[10:04] <CablD_Wrk> Madman1234 - when u static it you still cant ping rounter <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:05] <erik_> how can i get a java plugin for mozilla firefox in my ubuntu?
[10:05] <Madman1234> no
[10:05] <jmoncayo> nickrud, oki, other question which is a good P2P program like ares
[10:05] <CablD_Wrk> Madman1234   do a ifconfig in the terminal
[10:05] <Madman1234> until i connect with my windows laptop which i've set to the same mac address
[10:05] <intelikey> yeah it's all in what you get used to in linux...   and ubuntu is generating a group of gah'nome lovers.....
[10:05] <mabus06> In a terminal how do I execute a command so it provides the output in readable chunks, instead of a long output that I can't scroll up to read?
[10:05] <mwe> erik_: install !javadebs. then come back so I can tell you how to make the correct symlink
[10:06] <nickrud> jmoncayo, I don't even know what protocol ares uses, when I was serious about p2p (and didn't respect licenses) I used mldonkey
[10:06] <FlannelKing> mabus06: shift pageup (pagedown) to scroll.
[10:06] <Madman1234> ok?
[10:06] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe:  Yeah, but I know I have DMA enabled in BIOS... it's set to DMA1
[10:06] <CablD_Wrk> Madman1234  u have the router sercurity set  to mac filter???
[10:06] <Madman1234> yes
[10:06] <nickrud> intelikey, conspiracies every where :)
[10:06] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: good
[10:06] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe:  Actually, DMA was set to off while I was running Windows...
[10:06] <intelikey> lol
[10:07] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe:  I just enabled DMA1 today
[10:07] <jmoncayo> nickrud, is that gui?
[10:07] <dsas> nickrud: I think it runs it's own protocol
[10:07] <Hoxzer> aargh, I just cannot find howto to make ts to use alsa
[10:07] <CablD_Wrk> Madman1234  is that wireless or no
[10:07] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: I'd like to see the kernel .config for the ubuntu kernel. I use a custom kernel
[10:07] <Madman1234> yes wireless
[10:07] <CablD_Wrk> Madman1234  ok  turn off mac security just to test
[10:07] <nickrud> jmoncayo, no, it's a server. There's several gui front ends, and a very nice browser frontend
[10:07] <crimsun> mwe: /boot/config-$(uname -r) if you're currently running a Ubuntu kernel
[10:07] <dsas> mabus06: type the command and then put "| less" at the end.
[10:07] <CablD_Wrk> then ifconfig and renew the dhcp  then
[10:07] <intelikey> mwe  it's usually in /boot
[10:07] <CablD_Wrk> Madman1234  if that doesnt work do static  and try that
[10:08] <mwe> I'm running a custom kernel
[10:08] <CablD_Wrk> i bet its the mac filter
[10:08] <Madman1234> what would make it not work with the mac filter?
[10:08] <intelikey> mwe but the config for the default kernel should be there
[10:08] <Madman1234> once i connect wit hthe windows client that i've set to same mac address it starts working
[10:08] <mwe> intelikey: it's not
[10:08] <jmoncayo> nickrud, i want a client
[10:08] <crimsun> mwe: whta arch?
[10:08] <mwe> intelikey: I uninstalled the default kernel
[10:08] <CablD_Wrk> Madman1234  Yea that and or wep2  and such  I Would turn the security off and broadcast the ssid  just to test and get it online
[10:08] <Madman1234> there's no security
[10:08] <mwe> crimsun: x86
[10:09] <crimsun> mwe: specifically?
[10:09] <CablD_Wrk> Madman1234  turn off mac   just to test
[10:09] <Madman1234> like i said the linux box starts working when i connect to the router with the windows laptop that i've configured to same mac address
[10:09] <mwe> crimsun: pentium-m
[10:09] <nickrud> jmoncayo, dsas thinks ares uses it's own protocol, and I've never heard of it ...
[10:09] <crimsun> mwe: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/bcollins/ubuntu-2.6.git;a=blob;h=74bb9f1a4fe9cb218b22af56134e0a2dabd8c73f;hb=57223023a4a75c6bf2eab0ad377c957d0fdd2bf8;f=debian/config/i386/config.686
[10:09] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe:  Is there anything specific that you want to se?  If so, tell me how to find it and I can tell you
[10:09] <CablD_Wrk> you could do a ifconfig to 2x check the mac
[10:09] <mwe> crimsun: thanks
[10:09] <dsas> jmoncayo: If you're looking for a P2P client you could try amule
[10:09] <intelikey> mwe care to see mine,  it's default.
[10:09] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: I got the url from crimsun
[10:10] <mwe> intelikey: ^^
[10:10] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe:  OK
[10:10] <nickrud> and people wonder why developers are strange, knowing strange links like that :)
[10:10] <crimsun> mwe: note you'll also need the config and config.386 in that dir
[10:10] <dsas> jmoncayo: It's ugly, but it worked last I know.
[10:10] <intelikey> yeah i saw it.  just lag a bit mwe.
[10:10] <tentacle> Can anyone tell me please how to change on wich display the LoginScreen is displayed?
[10:10] <jmoncayo> dsas, is gui?
[10:10] <jmoncayo> dsas, have you used giFT
[10:11] <intelikey> things go by so fast in here if you lag by two seconds you ask stupit questions and repete other people's answers .....
[10:11] <dsas> jmoncayo: Yes it's gui, I have no idea what giFT is.
[10:11] <lincore> I`m have problems whis consolechars can somebody help me?
[10:11] <celerex> tentacle: i believe the login manager will always show in XOrg's Screen1

[10:11] <jmoncayo> dsas, is a P2P text based client
[10:12] <Stigern>  theres a grey textbox at the bottom of the screen

[10:12] <fiendskull9> hey
[10:12] <beruic> I really really really ned an EASY way to convert my OGM movie-files!!! Would any of you happen to know one???
[10:12] <fiendskull9> does anyone know how i can get a screenshot of my 3d desktop switcher?
[10:12] <intelikey> skpl not using esd ?
[10:13] <Stigern> why does my installation stop after searching for hardware?
[10:13] <lincore> HELP ME PLZ!!!
[10:13] <Madman1234> then when it's on the only way i can get linux box to connect is to connect with windows laptop which i've configured to have same mac address
[10:13] <Stigern> I installed the default version
[10:13] <tentacle> celerex: Thanks, but where to change this setting, as i poked around, i thought it is part of gnome (aka greeter part)?
[10:13] <MTecknology> http://pastebin.com/660227 - what should should i change to underclock my puter, and how do i know what it is now?
[10:13] <mwe> intelikey: I can't find what I'm looking for. can you grep CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO the config for me?
[10:13] <Madman1234> once i do that linux box is fine
[10:13] <beruic> lincore: get to the point...
[10:13] <intelikey> lincore the rest room is down the hall to your left.
[10:13] <skpl> intelikey, i believe i am using esd
[10:14] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe:  CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO=y
[10:14] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: good
[10:14] <nickrud> lincore, I don't know much about consolefonts, so my only question is do you have console-cyrillic installed ?
[10:14] <skpl> intelikey, yes i am
[10:14] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: that's not the problem then. hmm
[10:14] <skpl> intelikey, but i am still having trouble with my music player for some reason
[10:14] <intelikey> mwe CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO=y
[10:14] <mwe> thanks
[10:14] <beruic> I really really really ned an EASY way to convert my OGM movie-files!!! Would any of you happen to know one???
[10:14] <jmoncayo> i have a question installing ubuntu i386 on an amd64 machine has any disadvantages??
[10:14] <intelikey> skpl idk crimsun is our sound man here  :)
[10:15] <echo> ok another stupid question
[10:15] <nickrud> jmoncayo, no downsides compared to the upsides of media playing compatiblity
[10:15] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe:  I think I'll try the boot option "parport=0x378,7,1" next time I get access to that computer.  I still don't understand why it wouldn't automatically use DMA, though.
[10:15] <echo> when im doin all this stuff for the nvidia graf card... i should turn computer off... put card in then try to reconfigure xorg
[10:15] <intelikey> !vlc
[10:15] <ubotu> hmm... vlc is a video/audio player that supports almost everything - See http://www.videolan.org/ for more information (VLC is in the universe repository)
[10:16] <jmoncayo> nickrud, so do you think is better that installation?
[10:16] <erUSUL> beruic, http://ogmtoavi.sourceforge.net/
[10:16] <lincore> 2 nickrud pproblems not in cyrillic problem whis consolechars
[10:16] <nickrud> jmoncayo, I've seen many people give up on amd64 and go back to i386
[10:16] <jmoncayo> nickrud, i was confused i didnt know you could install i386 on amd64
[10:17] <nickrud> lincore, the font you were requesting is in console-cyrillic , that's why I was asking
[10:17] <nickrud> jmoncayo, sure.
[10:17] <scifi> hi there, just tried the ubuntu live CD, was suitably impressed. the only problems i had was that my monitor refresh rate was only @ 60hz, and i cudnt change it in settings and also it cudnt detect my adsl modem/router.
[10:17] <mambotech> guys is there a package for bacula-web ?
[10:17] <dyneuser> test
[10:17] <surfdue> hello
[10:17] <TTT_Travis> how do I install lirc on ubuntu?
[10:17] <surfdue> im ont he format part of the install, what is erase entirce disk and user lvm? whats LVM?
[10:18] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: it's a bug. it should
[10:18] <lincore> 2 nickrud I`ve install console-cyrillic but it non fixed my problem
[10:18] <beruic> erUSUL: GUI or CLI?
[10:19] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe:  Was the kernel just compiled incorrectly, then?  The bug isn't so bad that it would prevent "parport=0x378,7,1" from working, is it?
[10:19] <nickrud> lincore, then as I said at the beginning, I don't know much about consolechars :) I haven't had much luck with it myself.
[10:19] <sublime> buenas !
[10:19] <jmoncayo> nickrud, i can only use apt-get once at the time
[10:19] <erUSUL> beruic, i have give you an url you can go and see it for yourself 8^P
[10:20] <Stigern> damn ubuntu
[10:20] <surfdue> plase guys lvm?
[10:20] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: no it's compiled correctly. check that the parport_pc module is loaded though
[10:20] <nickrud> jmoncayo, oh, by install I meant reinstall of the os, not individual packages
[10:20] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: not just parport
[10:20] <lincore> 2 nickrud snx for U help
[10:20] <Stigern> at least the fedora installation doesnt stop
[10:20] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe: how would I do that?  and if it's not loaded, would I add it to /etc/modules?
[10:20] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: lsmod. and yes
[10:21] <Lil-Abner> Can anyone help me with information about the forums? I don't see a way to contact support on the web site.
[10:21] <FlannelKing> Lil-Abner: what's the question?
[10:21] <Samy> i cant enter a password in the terminal
[10:21] <mwe> Samy: explain
[10:21] <TheFuzzball> where are the kopete chat records kept?
[10:22] <Samy> everytime a password is requested i cant enter any letter
[10:22] <mwe> Samy: you can't see what you type. that's intentional
[10:22] <celerex> it's a security feature
[10:22] <celerex> it's so people can't see * and know how long your password is
[10:22] <Lil-Abner> FlannelKing: I submitted a request to join and haven't received a passwork. Now, because I was knuckleheaded enough to not write it down, I don't remember my user name either! Duh!
[10:22] <Samy> no if i enter the correct password it always displays "wrong password"
[10:22] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe:  parport_pc    35780  1
[10:23] <celerex> try typing the password out first in a text editor
[10:23] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: I'm running out of ideas
[10:23] <celerex> selecting & copying it. then when requested paste it
[10:23] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe:  parport 36296  2 lp, parport_pc
[10:23] <FlannelKing> Lil-Abner: did you send it to a correct email addy?
[10:23] <TheFuzzball> WHERE ARE THE CHAT LOGS FOR KOPETE KEPT?
[10:23] <celerex> if that works leas tyou know you got the right password
[10:23] <roryy> !tell TheFuzzball about caps
[10:24] <MrKubuntuUser> mwe:  I'm checking modules and stuff in a virtual machine, so I haven't been able to try out the boot thing yet...
[10:24] <MystaMax> I'm looking to install Proftpd, and would like to provide mysql support later. Am I choosing just the regular proftpd or proftpd-mysql??
[10:24] <ubuntu> hi
[10:24] <Lil-Abner> I'm gettting all kinds of forum emails about problems, etc, so I think I did. Maybe that was for the mailing list??
[10:24] <nickrud> MrKubuntuUser, what was the kernel param you wanted to test? I'm due for a reboot anyway
[10:24] <ubuntu> can i install from the live cd?
[10:24] <mwe> MrKubuntuUser: ok
[10:24] <TheFuzzball> hello?
[10:24] <mwe> ubuntu: no
[10:24] <ubuntu> ah shit
[10:24] <tritz> anyone know how to do grub timeout ilimited?
[10:24] <ubuntu> so the bootcd package isn't on it?
[10:25] <jenda> Anywhere I could read something about why a live CD doesn't boot? (the steps to check)
[10:25] <roryy> TheFuzzball: tried asking in #kopete ?
[10:25] <MrKubuntuUser> nickrud:  "parport=0x378,7,1", but it depends on your BIOS configuration for the parallel port
[10:25] <ubuntu> hmm
[10:25] <MystaMax>  anyone? ideas?
[10:25] <MrKubuntuUser> nickrud:  Second number is IRQ, third is DMA
[10:25] <tritz> anyone know how to do grub timeout ilimited?
[10:25] <MrKubuntuUser> nickrud:  Can't remember what the first one is
[10:25] <FlannelKing> Lil-Abner: heh, well, theres a "contact us" link on the bottom of the forums, you could try that.
[10:26] <nickrud> MrKubuntuUser, ok.
[10:26] <Lil-Abner> Can I access it without a password? Or would it just make sense to do a new signup with a new user id?
[10:27] <robin> is GNOME better in functions than KDE?
[10:27] <mwe> 0+
[10:27] <ubuntu> the ubuntu snapshot is taken from sid every 6 months?
[10:27] <Mustang97> What if any codec packs are their for ubuntu?
[10:27] <mwe> robin: that's a matter of personal taste
[10:27] <ubuntu> i run sid at  home. i broke my FC5 install here at work an i'm thinking i'll try ubuntu here rather than crapass FC
[10:28] <mwe> ubuntu: good thinking
[10:28] <ubuntu> sid is a bit volitile for work
[10:28] <crimsun> ubuntu: no, we do a massive sync at the beginning of each dev cycle, then we sync periodically upon request for individual packages.
[10:28] <CraiZE> ubotu no, samba is Rumour has it, samba is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently or  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SettingUpSamba or http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba2/book/toc.html
[10:28] <ubotu> CraiZE: okay
[10:28] <roryy> CraiZE: don't put the 'Rumour has it' part in ;)
[10:28] <katrin> hello
[10:28] <veracon_> Is it possible to map a key combination to an application?
[10:29] <CraiZE> lol it was there before
[10:29] <CraiZE> i just removed an entry
[10:29] <ubuntu> is there a faster way to install than the install cd. like the 2 floppy network install in debian?
[10:29] <_jason> ubotu: tell veracon_ about shortcuts
[10:29] <roryy> CraiZE: ubotu adds creative intros to his factoids when he presents them
[10:29] <veracon_> Thanks!
[10:29] <ubuntu> ah nevermind
[10:29] <CraiZE> ubotu no, samba is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently or  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SettingUpSamba or http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba2/book/toc.html
[10:29] <ubotu> CraiZE: okay
[10:29] <CraiZE> okay :D
[10:29] <Lil-Abner> FlannelKing: Thanks. I'll go there and check the "contact us". Have a good day.
[10:30] <ubuntu> it would be nice if the livecd was made using the bootcd package so you could install from it if you liked it
[10:30] <crimsun> you can.
[10:30] <ubuntu> w/o having to also d/l the install cd
[10:30] <crimsun> that's exactly how it's done in Dapper.
[10:30] <katrin> hello...do you all speak english?
[10:30] <ubuntu> crimsun, oh? someone just said you can't
[10:30] <CraiZE> ubotu no, samba is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SettingUpSamba or http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba2/book/toc.html
[10:30] <ubotu> okay, CraiZE
[10:30] <crimsun> ubuntu: you can't for versions prior to Dapper.
[10:30] <roryy> katrin: well, we try to
[10:30] <CraiZE> (had a double space, so i fixed it)
[10:30] <ubuntu> i'm in the 5.10 live cd
[10:30] <ubuntu> now
[10:30] <crimsun> ubuntu: 5.10 is breezy ; 6.06 is dapper
[10:30] <katrin> roryy : well, are you from england?
[10:30] <roryy> CraiZE: extensive playing with the bot is best done in private chat (/query ubotu)
[10:31] <ubuntu> ah. dapper is not released yet?
[10:31] <roryy> katrin: nope, south africa ;)
[10:31] <CraiZE> ah i didnt know i could update it via pm, sorry roryy
[10:31] <roryy> katrin: what is your first langauge ?
[10:31] <crimsun> no, it's not 1 june 2006 yet
[10:31] <CraiZE> wasn't playing though, just wanted to fix a typo :D
[10:31] <katrin> roryy :german
[10:31] <roryy> !de
[10:31] <katrin> rory: and yours?
[10:31] <ubotu> Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu oder Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de oder #edubuntu-de
[10:31] <roryy> katrin: english. Ubotu has just posted the german-language ubuntu channels; you can use those, if you prefer
[10:32] <katrin> roryy: no it's good, so  i can learn a little.... ;D
[10:32] <nickrud> MrKubuntuUser, set your bios for ecp mode, that turns on the dma
[10:33] <katrin> roryy: it'S the first time that i'm in this kind of chat
[10:33] <MrKubuntuUser> nickrud:  I believe that's what I had mine set to
[10:33] <ubuntu> is there something akin to packages.debian.org for ubuntu?
[10:33] <roryy> katrin: ah-ha. Well, welcome to #ubuntu ;)
[10:33] <_jason> ubuntu: packages.ubuntu.com
[10:33] <ubun2> why doesn't gparted have a time estimate?
[10:33] <celerex> ubuntu: packages.ubuntu.com
[10:33] <ubuntu> thx
[10:33] <robin> what's gnome like? do you guys like it? even more than kde?
[10:33] <MrKubuntuUser> nickrud:  Did you have to boot up with "parport=0x378,7,1" to enable it?  (or whatever variant for your setup)?
[10:33] <nickrud> MrKubuntuUser, mine was epp(?), changing it to ecp gave me dma in bios, and hardinfo reports my parport is using dma now
[10:33] <katrin> roryy : i'm sorry, i can't speek english well...thanks... do you really live in south africa or was it just a joke?
[10:33] <nickrud> MrKubuntuUser, nope
[10:34] <pvd2006> I like gnome more than kde
[10:34] <roryy> katrin: no, quite serious. I am a south african ;)
me too</aol>
[10:34] <mwe> ubun2: because it wasn't coded maybe
[10:34] <katrin> cool
[10:34] <MrKubuntuUser> nickrud:  Hmm... I'm pretty sure mine is set to ecp, 0x378, IRQ7 DMA1 and I wasn't getting DMA
[10:34] <katrin> roryy: how old are you and do you speek other langues?
[10:35] <roryy> katrin: um. Can you type '/join #ubuntu-offtopic' so we can continue our conversation there?
[10:35] <nickrud> MrKubuntuUser, all I can say is what happened here. (Bios reported dma mode 3 with 1 available, I don't know what that means)
[10:35] <pvd2006> robin, TO me personally, I think KDE has too much stuff that isn't needed, and for me it is slower than gnome.
[10:35] <katrin> roryy:where is that?? what do i have to do?
[10:36] <ubuntu> damn. firefox 1.5 isn't in breezy backports
[10:36] <ubuntu> hmmm
[10:36] <MrKubuntuUser> nickrud:  OK, thank you!  Maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot, too.  Where did you look to see if it was enabled?
[10:36] <roryy> katrin: it's another 'chat-room'. This one is for ubuntu support (i.e., problems).  Just type    /join #ubuntu-offtopic   and <enter>
[10:36] <FlannelKing> ubuntu: you can still install it pretty easily.
[10:36] <ubuntu> can i change my release to dapper after install?
[10:36] <MrKubuntuUser> nickrud:  within Dapper, that is
[10:36] <FlannelKing> ubuntu: yeah, you can.
[10:36] <ubuntu> not recommended?
[10:36] <katrin> okay
[10:36] <pvd2006> robin, but you can always install both and then run either one whenever you want to
[10:36] <ubuntu> or is it relatively settled now
[10:37] <mwe> robin: kde is superiour :) but it's off topic. you can rid of the krap you don't need in kde
[10:37] <beruic> erUSUL: What can I use that for? It's Windows only...
[10:37] <nickrud> MrKubuntuUser, I used the program hardinfo
[10:37] <FlannelKing> ubuntu: I honestly have no idea how well the install goes.  ask in #ubuntu+1, they'll know.
[10:37] <FlannelKing> ubuntu: we're always looking for more testers for the upgrade though ;)
[10:37] <pvd2006> robin, I would just try both and see which one you like better.
[10:38] <nickrud> MrKubuntuUser, it came up in a quick apt-cache search
[10:38] <ubuntu> FlannelKing, ok
[10:38] <Bambino> does this mean: Setting up libxrender1 (0.9.0-1) ... (i ran a dpkg -i to install this) that i have version <IP_ADDRESS> now?
[10:39] <Tenkawa> what repository would lighttpd be in?
[10:39] <nickrud> MrKubuntuUser, for the bios thingo, I just wandered about until I found the parallel port settings
[10:39] <gimmulf_> what dir is it recommended installing games in
[10:39] <MrKubuntuUser> nickrud:  OK.  I'll have to try yet again next time I get to that computer...
[10:40] <nickrud> Bambino, yes, dpkg -l libxrender1 will report your current version
[10:40] <nickrud> MrKubuntuUser, at least you know it's possible :)
[10:40] <Bambino> nickrud, ok thanks. then please explain this, when i try to install curl:   conky: Depends: libxrender1 (>= 1:<IP_ADDRESS>) but 1:0.9.0-1 is to be installed
[10:40] <robin> http://gentoo-wiki.com/images/c/cb/GnomeWine-shoeseal-gentoo.png
[10:40] <robin> how to get that look?
[10:40] <MrKubuntuUser> nickrud:  Yes, that's always helpful!  :D  hardinfo's nice, too!  Thanks for telling me about it
[10:41] <nickrud> Bambino, it says the version you need is >= 1:<IP_ADDRESS>
[10:41] <MrKubuntuUser> nickrud:  You are running Dapper, correct?
[10:41] <nickrud> Bambino, and you have  1:0.9.0-1
[10:41] <mwe> robin: install gnome in find out what theme the guy is using
[10:41] <nickrud> MrKubuntuUser, the reason I needed to reboot was to get back into dapper, so yes
[10:41] <polpak> gimmulf_, if they're being packaged by dpkg I use /usr/games    but if you are just installing them with an installer (like quake, etc) or from source I put them in subdirectories under opt
[10:41] <Bambino> nickrud, Oh! ok. now I get it. I thought it was the other way around :P
[10:42] <robin> mwe: how to find that out?
[10:42] <gimmulf_> polpak:  its enemy territory
[10:42] <mwe> robin: I don't know. ask him
[10:42] <gimmulf_> polpak:  why opt?
[10:42] <polpak> gimmulf_, either put it in /opt/enemy-territory or you can install to your /home dir
[10:42] <polpak> gimmulf_, it keeps it seperated from the OS files so upgrading is easier
[10:42] <gimmulf_> polpak:  why not /usr/games?
[10:42] <robin> mwe: i don't know him
[10:42] <tentacle> Can someone help me configuring a dualscreen primary screen?
[10:43] <MystaMax> how would he find out what theme it was by installing gnome?
[10:43] <gimmulf_> ahha ok i see
[10:43] <polpak> tentacle, what do you mean?
[10:43] <mwe> robin: then you probably have a problem if you can't find his email
[10:43] <nickrud> gimmulf_, do you have a /home partition? (me keeps all that stuff on my home partition, it makes reinstalls sooo easy
[10:43] <robin> why is my download speed 39 kb/s?
[10:43] <gimmulf_> oki
[10:43] <surfdue> hello!
[10:43] <mwe> robin: from where?
[10:43] <MrKubuntuUser> nickrud:   Alright.   I still can't understand why my computer's not detecting it, though... I believe I had the same settings as you have now.  I sure hope "parport=0x378,7,3" works... the local library it belongs to is getting pissed off that their receipt printer is too slow under Kubuntu  :-P
[10:43] <polpak> nickrud, I symlink /opt to /home/opt for that reason =)
[10:44] <robin> mwe: repositories.
[10:44] <surfdue> I dont have a connection atm, i have to put ndiswrapper on my system, is it on the install disk or do I have to burn a disk just to put that on :P
[10:44] <tentacle> polpak: i have set a dualscreen, but the loginscreen does come up on the wrong screen. also all windows when opening.
[10:44] <echo> ok im still having problems installing nvidia
[10:44] <echo> doesn it have anything to do with celeron
[10:44] <mwe> robin: what country? maybe it's loaded
[10:44] <polpak> echo, nope
[10:44] <echo> the last couple of computers i put ubuntu on were p4
[10:44] <echo> damnit!!!!

[10:45] <MrKubuntuUser> nickrud:  OK, thanks for your help!
[10:46] <echo> polpak - everything i think that needed to be installed has been installed and reinstalled
[10:46] <polpak> echo, did you install the packages?

[10:46] <polpak> echo, what packages did you install?

[10:46] <robin> better
[10:46] <nickrud> MrKubuntuUser, np, you helped me discover an issue I didn't even know I had, and elicited the right info so I could leach. Thanks
[10:46] <echo> polpak i even tried automatix but in order to get it to work right the card needs to be in the computer, i cant get the computer to turn opn with it in
[10:46] <robin> thanks :)
[10:46] <polpak> !automatix
[10:46] <ubotu> it has been said that automatix is unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'y\nY\n'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, but it's often best to read the documentation.
[10:46] <mwe> robin: err archive.ubuntu.com
[10:46] <robin> ahh better
[10:46] <robin> 2 minutes left :)
