[09:42] <Anon583> hi
[09:42] <n2diy> VIrUZ_: yep, your reading it.
[09:42] <TaJMoX> VIrUZ_: Ubuntu is Linux for dummies =]
[09:42] <VIrUZ_> LOL
[09:43] <VIrUZ_> so thats why they stick with gnome
[09:43] <misfit> any other suggestions?
[09:43] <Myrtti> could you please keep the offtopic to #ubuntu-offtopic, folks.
[09:43] <Necrodrako> any one help me with sound card trouble in 7.04?
[09:43] <misfit> on what I could try?
[09:43] <Dusk_> misfit, what's your problem??
[09:44] <sonnie> anyone knows the 'ratDVD' thing?
[09:44] <Myrtti> !repeat | Necrodrako
[09:44] <ubotu> Necrodrako: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[09:44] <n2diy> What's gnome got to do with it?
[09:44] <Dusk_> misfit, what's your video card?
[09:45] <VIrUZ_> can i install ubuntu from a web page ? like i did with debian ?
[09:45] <n2diy> ! install | VIrUS_
[09:45] <ubotu> VIrUS_: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[09:46] <draders> astro76:  it did some stuff but I don't see any wireless devices
[09:46] <misfit> dusk, my computer screen flickers black at certain times, like when I'm moving an open window, playing a movie or using the desktop cube, or even when I'm closing a tab in firefox.  I have an nvidia ti 4600 card, latest drivers.  I've also tried disabling desktop effects, to no avail.
[09:46] <VIrUZ_> i belive that ubuntu was created to keep noobs out off #debian
[09:46] <astro76> draders, after I did that I see wireless networks when I click on the network manager in the panel
[09:47] <Dusk_> misfit, is your 3d rendering open??
[09:47] <Myrtti> draders: just out of curiosity, are you on a laptop and if so, which
[09:47] <misfit> dusk, how can I be sure?
[09:47] <n2diy> VIrUZ_: maybe, but there aren't many noods there, are there?
[09:47] <draders> yes, gateway
[09:47] <misfit> I'm running the latest version of ubuntu feisty, btw.
[09:48] <draders> couldnt even find the model number on their website lol
[09:48] <Myrtti> draders: some laptops have a feature that if you're connected to the internet with CAT-5 copper, you can't use WLAN
[09:48] <_nnx_> How do I go about reinstalling udev?
[09:48] <Dusk_> misfit, in terminal write.. glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"
[09:48] <draders> when i first installed ubuntu i saw a wirless device when i did iwconfig
[09:48] <draders> now i dont
[09:48] <J-_> !ssh
[09:48] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[09:48] <draders> i think i removed it or something when trying to get ndiswrapper to work
[09:49] <misfit> dusk, it says "direct rendering: yes"
[09:49] <Necrodrako> my sound is not working, it was earlier, after a reboot it stopped, and when i test sound, i get this error "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open resource for writing." does any one know what is wrong?
[09:49] <VIrUZ_> ubotu putty is offtopic
[09:49] <Geoff> okay,
[09:49] <Geoff> "/usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory"
[09:49] <Geoff> how the heck do you fix this? reinstall hasnt worked
[09:49] <VIrUZ_> !offtopic
[09:49] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[09:49] <J-_> Is there a way to restart ssh?
[09:49] <Dusk_> misfit, hmmm sorry i'm thinking but no solutions :(
[09:49] <|_ocke> happy 4th to everyone not here in alaska or hawaii
[09:49] <ketrox> if you saw a wireless device that means you don't need ndiswrapper
[09:50] <VIrUZ_> lets have some turky
[09:50] <Dusk_> misfit, use GL Desktop
[09:50] <Dusk_> misfit, are you using it?
[09:50] <VIrUZ_> stuffed turky :P
[09:50] <misfit> dusk, I don't know if this helps but this started a couple of days ago, where the last auto update I did involved new nvidia drivers...
[09:50] <draders> okay, what would i do to get it back then
[09:50] <Myrtti> VIrUZ_: you've been told several times to keep the offtopic off this channel.
[09:51] <VIrUZ_> Myrtti: why are you picking on me ?
[09:51] <n2diy> l_ocke, PA  doesn't count?
[09:51] <misfit> dusk, I don't know if I'm using gl desktop, btw.  I think I'm only using compiz.
[09:51] <Dusk_> misfit, have you seached recent bugs, mail lists, bugzilla etc.?
[09:51] <ketrox> draders can we see the lspci output
[09:51] <ketrox> ?
[09:52] <Dusk_> misfit, is there GL Desktop under System>Preferences ??
[09:52] <misfit> dusk, actually no, I just began troubleshooting this issue minutes ago.
[09:52] <Myrtti> VIrUZ_: if you need support for specific Ubuntu problem, this channel is for you. If you have some general stuff about Ubuntu, perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic is better. And if you really have nothing to say related to ubuntu, then definitely.
[09:53] <misfit> dusk, I just checked and didn't see anything.
[09:53] <Dusk_> misfit, maybe there can be some solutions after the updates..take a look at bugs and maillists
[09:53] <misfit> dusk, is there a way to roll-back the driver?
[09:54] <jeff_> how many GB does it take to run roller coaster tycoon 1
[09:54] <n2diy> hmmm
[09:55] <misfit> so is there a way to roll back to the last driver?
[09:55] <jeff_> because when i go to play my game it says that i have 0 free space of bytes left
[09:56] <arooni> does anyone know how i can get my microsoft wireless comfort keyboard (and 4 button wireless mouse working)?  id like to get the back-forward butongs working especially.  mouse + keyboard basics alreadywork
[09:56] <Necrodrako> can anyone help me with sound card issues?
[09:56] <ketrox> Necrodrako what sound card you have ?
[09:56] <n2diy> misfit: locate your driver file, and see if it was backed up. the back up should have the same name, with an~ at the end of it.
[09:57] <Necrodrako> ketrox: creative sb live
[09:57] <misfit> n2diy, is there a common directory to find these drivers?
[09:57] <ketrox> and what's the problem ?
[09:57] <Dusk_> misfit, use synaptic manager
[09:57] <Necrodrako> ketrox: it was working earlier then after restart it does nothing but gives me errors when i test the audio
[09:58] <n2diy> misfit: I don't think so, use the locate command to find where they are hiding.
[09:58] <ketrox> did you tried  the lastest alsa driver ?
[09:58] <Necrodrako> ketrox: here is the error "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open resource for writing."

[10:21] <n2diy> shortcake: what don't you follow, the keyboard stuff, or the reply stuff?
[10:21] <Necrodrako> astro76: i have no idea what that even means

[10:39] <MikeS> there is a linux limewire to
[10:39] <shortcake> i have them all commented out right now
[10:40] <tritium> !info k3b
[10:40] <ubotu> k3b: A sophisticated KDE CD burning application. In component main, is optional. Version 1.0-0ubuntu2 (feisty), package size 4912 kB, installed size 9404 kB
[10:40] <krinns> hi all
[10:40] <krinns> any one works on SRSS
[10:40] <krinns> in ubuntu
[10:40] <robmaa> can anyone tell me how to restart gdm for the x server?
[10:40] <shortcake> anyone know a good sources.list?
[10:40] <Billy> I installed realplayer for linux, but I still can not open .rm video's  what should I find and install if the realplayergold10.bin from the www.real.com is not playing the files for me?
[10:41] <tritium> shortcake: all you need is the main repo for k3b, as you can see from the info above
[10:41] <saly> hi
[10:41] <student__>
[10:41] <meenoy> lt[kpfu
[10:41] <shortcake> what is the main repo?
[10:41] <saly> sabaidee
[10:41] <maxsoft> hi all. is unixOdbc a commercial tool?
[10:41] <meenoy>  saly
[10:41] <saly>
[10:42] <maxsoft> hi all. Is unixODBC commercial?
[10:42] <meenoy>
[10:42] <Billy> I installed realplayer for linux, but I still can not open .rm video's  what should I find and install if the realplayergold10.bin from the www.real.com is not playing the files for me?
[10:42] <khamphong> hi
[10:43] <tritium> !real > Billy
[10:43] <furrynz> use automatix2 to install realplayer 10
[10:43] <tritium> no!
[10:43] <tritium> !automatix | furrynz
[10:43] <ubotu> furrynz: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[10:43] <DarthShrine> !automatix
[10:43] <DarthShrine> D=
[10:43] <furrynz> sorry
[10:44] <robmaa> can anyonet tell me how to restart gdm so I can try if i configured my xorg.conf correctly and x detects my gfx card?
[10:44] <Billy> !WorksForMe
[10:44] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[10:44] <Steve86> Hi - is there anyone who can help me..My unbuntu 7.04 does not play sound
[10:44] <tritium> robmaa: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart
[10:44] <n2diy> robmaa: ctrl + alt + backspace
[10:45] <JimQode> Steve86, Is a there a little speaker icon on your taskbar?
[10:45] <Jamesinator> Can anyone please suggest good addons to Ubuntu that will make it easier for a non-technical Windows user to switch over?
[10:45] <robmaa> ah, it worked, oh... could not open the device file /dev/nvidia0 8input/output error) failed to initialize the nvidia graphics device pci:1:0:0
[10:46] <Steve86> Jinqode, yes
[10:46] <JimQode> Jamesinator, Ubuntu is pretty easy for a non-technical windows user to switch over
[10:46] <Jamesinator> JimQode: Thanks, that's not what I asked.
[10:46] <JimQode> Steve86, Double click it. what do you get?
[10:46] <n2diy> Jamesinator: terminal
[10:47] <astro76> Jamesinator, he's right, it's easier than windows out of the box at this point
[10:47] <tritium> JimQode: his answer impliese that no addons are required
[10:47] <Steve86> jimqode: the volume bar comes up, it is on full volume
[10:47] <tritium> implies, even
[10:47] <JimQode> Steve86, A mixer window should come. Don't click it once, double click it.
[10:47] <astro76> Jamesinator, the installer will even import data from your windows user profiles
[10:48] <Steve86> jim qode: ok it has come up
[10:48] <Jamesinator> I don't think you get what I'm saying. I already know that Ubuntu is easy, but that's not what I asked. I asked if anyone could suggest any good addons that would make it easier for a Windows user to switch to, such as themes / etc. I'd much rather you tried to answer my question rather than telling me something irrelevant, although I appreciate your input.
[10:48] <EvilDennisR> Jamesinator: My buddy had an older laptop kicking around, and I installed xubuntu on it.. Today he msg'd me and said "Dude, I need linux on my desktop". He downloaded the iso, and installed ubuntu on his desktop, replacing XP no problem
[10:48] <n2diy> Jamesinator: terminal
[10:48] <Jamesinator> n2diy: Just how would a terminal help a non-technical windows user?
[10:48] <EvilDennisR> Jamesinator: I don't think "themes" and such is what you're looking for.. The look and feel is the same for any GUI, really.
[10:49] <tritium> Jamesinator: their answers are not irrelevant
[10:49] <n2diy> Jamesinator: it gives you a command prompt.
[10:49] <student_> student
[10:49] <Recon69> Jamesinator: main thing that you need to add is some video and sound apps , you probably need to ask more specific questions
[10:49] <EvilDennisR> Jamesinator: Point them in the direction of the package manager, and say "If you need a program to do a specific thing, do a search and install it"
[10:49] <Jamesinator> n2diy: I know what a terminal is, I was saying your answer was completely irrelevant. A terminal is not going to help a non-technical user.
[10:49] <JimQode> Steve86, Which devices exist under File / Change Device menu?
[10:50] <EvilDennisR> Jamesinator: Yeah, Recon69 is correct too.. I setup flash and mplayer etc... on my buddy's laptop for him
[10:50] <n2diy> Jamesinator: it will.
[10:50] <tritium> Jamesinator: your question should be more specific.  The answers you got _were_ relevant.
[10:50] <gordonjcp> Jamesinator: how would you make it easier for a Windows user to switch to Ubuntu?
[10:51] <furrynz> Jamesinator: use the ubuntu guide to setup all the "normal" stuff you need on the computer
[10:51] <EvilDennisR> Jamesinator: Also, n2diy is correct.. You really should know a few terminal commands.. Its just basic stuff
[10:51] <Steve86> jimqodejimqode: They are HDAintel (alsamixier) and Realtek alt861-vd )ossmixer)
[10:51] <Jamesinator> tritium: EVERYONE's answer to me so far has been completely useless and irrelevant. I asked if anyone had suggestions for good addons that make it easier for a non-technical Windows user to switch to Ubuntu. I did not ask for a definition of a terminal, or reaffirmation that Ubuntu is easy to use, and frankly I'm pissed as hell because the ubuntu support channel is supposed to be supportive and not completely oblivious to what I
[10:51] <tritium> furrynz: the wiki and help.ubuntu.com are more useful than ubuntuguide
[10:52] <EvilDennisR> tritium: Thanks..
[10:52] <tritium> EvilDennisR: sure
[10:52] <EvilDennisR> tritium: That kid just didn't get it.. _Everyones_ input was useful.
[10:52] <JimQode> Steve86, So there is no driver problem with your card. It should be working. If you have a switches tab in your mixer windows try the switched there. Make sure both PCM and Front are turned up.
[10:52] <tritium> yep
[10:52] <n2diy> Jamesinator: Sorry, I'll shut up, and help someone else.
[10:53] <Billy> !itoons
[10:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about itoons - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:53] <EvilDennisR> I just told him that my buddy, who had no linux experience, installed ubuntu no problem, and is using it
[10:53] <DerangedDingo> tritium: yeah. besides... there isn't really.. "addons" for Ubuntu. and this channel is extremely useful, as long as your question makes enough sense
[10:53] <robmaa> seems like i didnt configure my 8800gts correctly, since the problem is still there: failed to initialize the nvidia graphics device :-( at the end of the report it saysfatal server error: no screens found
[10:54] <siimo> hi can someone tell me how to set up a reiserfs partition so that the files on it are owned by anyone that mounts it
[10:54] <tritium> DerangedDingo: glad you've found it to be useful
[10:54] <gordonjcp> EvilDennisR: he didn't answer my question at all

[10:54] <Steve86> Jimqode: I know, I checked it out .. But everything is turned up but no sound is coming from the speakers..The soundcars is working as it works with my windows vista
[10:54] <EvilDennisR> gordonjcp: Who didn't answer what now?
[10:54] <gordonjcp> chump don't want the help, chump don't get the help </airplane>
[10:54] <Billy> Ya I love Ubuntu  I have deleted windows off of 3 of my box's ... the only problem I have is that I am not able to play my IToons M4p files and I can not hear the sound of .rm files
[10:54] <gordonjcp> EvilDennisR: that Jamesinator dude, I asked what kind of thing he thought would be helpful
[10:54] <EvilDennisR> ah, right..
[10:55] <Recon69> think Jamesinator wanted someone to go to his house and do it for him, o well, maybe he better off in windows
[10:55] <EvilDennisR> haha
[10:55] <gordonjcp> EvilDennisR: tempting to suggest "A bit of paper that says 'Evolution, not Outlook; Firefox, not IE' would help"
[10:55] <astro76> !itunes
[10:55] <ubotu> itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee
[10:55] <JimQode> Steve86, Did you check all the controls in edit / preferences? Some relevant controls may be hidden.
[10:56] <DerangedDingo> Billy: Itunes store bought mp4 files are encrypted and can't be read. with the help of Gstreamer plugins or additional media players you might be able to play the regular ITunes converted files
[10:56] <JimQode> Steve86, Some sound cards are really weird with linux drivers. I had a card that didn't work if you didn't turn on 3d sound setting. It may be something like that.
[10:56] <Steve86> jimqode: ok one moment
[10:56] <shortcake> hmm
[10:56] <metbsd> how do i untar a bunch of tgz?
[10:56] <shortcake> does anyone have k3b?
[10:57] <n2diy> shortcake: yes
[10:57] <shortcake> thats what i'm tryinf to get
[10:57] <shortcake> trying
[10:57] <tritium> shortcake: I told you that it's in the main repo.  Simply install it.
[10:57] <shortcake> my sources list is bad or something
[10:57] <DerangedDingo> metbsd: at once, or is it an extension problem?
[10:58] <shortcake> would you mind posting your sources.list?
[10:58] <Billy> DerangedDingo: Thank you, I will have to see how I could confert them then.  BTW how do you post text up there were it high lights your name for me?
[10:58] <tritium> !sources | shortcake
[10:58] <ubotu> shortcake: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[10:58] <Habbie> tritium, shouldn't it be !sources > shortcake  ?
[10:58] <n2diy> shortcake: sudo apt-get install k3b doesn't work?
[10:58] <astro76> shortcake, http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/
[10:58] <shortcake> no
[10:58] <tritium> Habbie: depends on the desired outcome
[10:58] <shortcake> and my apt-get update fails
[10:58] <sirus> shortcake: try brasero
[10:59] <DerangedDingo> Billy: <Name>: etc, etc, does it. Most IRC clients will recognize if a message displays your current username
[10:59] <n2diy> shortcake: yuck, GL.
[10:59] <tritium> Habbie: as you see above, the | nick-hilights the info for the user, but also puts the info in the channel
[10:59] <webmind> can anyone mimmick the following test for me on feisty: http://tnx.nl/6433IWLD
[10:59] <Habbie> tritium, i know, but i mean, wouldn't > as syntax make more sense
[10:59] <webmind> it seems that feisty is caching block devices
[10:59] <shortcake> 8apt-get install brasero?
[10:59] <webmind> I tried this with 2 USB sticks
[10:59] <tritium> Habbie: that syntax exists also, and doesn't paste the info in the channel
[10:59] <sirus> shortcake: yes
[10:59] <Recon69> anyone able to help with a borked gnome desktop? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=491551
[10:59] <shortcake> OK
[11:00] <Habbie> tritium, ah,  ok
 Awsome thank you so much
[11:00] <student_> student
[11:00] <shortcake> CANNOT FIND PACKAGE
[11:00] <shortcake> i think these are bad
[11:00] <DerangedDingo> Billy: heh, the "<>"s aren't needed but it worked anyway. have a good day
[11:00] <Steve86> jimqode: ok I went to preferences and asked to show all,I ensured all the colume was up and still I have no sound coming
[11:01] <astro76> shortcake, after you change your sources you need to sudo apt-get update
[11:01] <n2diy> shortcake: no need to YELL at us.
[11:01] <robmaa> i looked into the xorg.0.log and there are no problems, but in the last lines is "failed to initialize the nvidia grapgics device pci:1:0:0" what can i do about that? already tried reconfiguring xconf, but with no success
[11:02] <JimQode> Could you try this from a terminal:  cat /lib/libc-2.5.so > /dev/dsp
[11:02] <shortcake> i didn't mean to yell sorry
[11:02] <Habbie> JimQode, please don't suggest that
[11:02] <fedupwithwindows> is GAIM usually a stable aplication? because it spontaneously closed just now, and its the second time it does that...
[11:02] <JimQode> Habbie, Why? It's a quick and easy way to try if sound source is the problem.
[11:02] <n2diy> shortcake: nada
[11:02] <shortcake> some index files failed to download
[11:03] <Billy> Thank you all for the help... Later.
[11:03] <Habbie> JimQode, it also makes an awful noise
[11:03] <robmaa> no one able to help? dont know what to do...
[11:03] <astro76> fedupwithwindows, the version in feisty is still a beta...
[11:04] <fedupwithwindows> astro76: that explains it, thank you.
[11:04] <fedupwithwindows> what messaging aplication is recomended, other than GAIM?
[11:04] <Steve86> jimqode: anything else you can think of that could be a problem...
[11:05] <JimQode> Steve86, nope sorry
[11:05] <n2diy> fedupwithwindows: what are you using?
[11:05] <Steve86> cool..Thanks for the help ... Does anyone else know where i can get assistance getting my sound to work with linux
[11:05] <JimQode> fedupwithwindows, Kopete is a nice one.
[11:06] <Recon69> so no suggestion on what to do with my messed up desktop? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=491551
[11:06] <fedupwithwindows> n2diy: i using GAIM, but it spontaneously closed two times now, i think its ot very stable
[11:06] <astro76> fedupwithwindows, you could try running it from a terminal and see if there are any errors
[11:06] <Recon69>  fedupwithwindows: gaim works find for me in 6.06
[11:07] <n2diy> fedupwithwindows: what eles is available under your menu > internet?
[11:07] <fedupwithwindows> JimQode & astro76: thank you
[11:07] <fedupwithwindows> Recon69: im running 7.04, i heard gaim is beta on this vertion
[11:08] <astro76> it is still stable for most people though
[11:08] <fedupwithwindows> n2diy: only Ekiga, hen the browser, and e-mail aplication
[11:08] <Recon69> fedupwithwindows: hmm, you making me think i dont want to use 7.04 to try fix my problem
[11:08] <JimQode> Recon69, try moving your home folder elsewhere and restarting the system. It may be a problem with you settings file being corrupted.
[11:09] <shimfs> hi
[11:09] <shimfs> i have a little problem, i am trying to get my broadcom 4311 drivers to work on ubuntu
[11:09] <n2diy> fedupwithwindows: I'm using xchat-gnome, with Dapper, it that helps.
[11:09] <fedupwithwindows> Recon69: this is the only issue i had with 7.04 up to now, and should be easily fixed
[11:09] <shimfs> and im following the different guides to use ndiswrapper
[11:09] <Recon69> JimQode: best suggestion i had all day, I'll try that
[11:09] <shimfs> but apparently, ndiswrapper DISABLES wlan0 and my wireless appears on eth0
[11:09] <shimfs> what do i have to do, to get them back to wlan 0
[11:10] <fedupwithwindows> n2diy: yes, thanx =)
[11:10] <shimfs> anyone who knows how to deal with ndiswrapper and broadcom? i have a little question
[11:11] <fedupwithwindows> thank you all for the sugestions
[11:11] <n2diy> fedupwithwindows: GL
[11:11] <fedupwithwindows> n2diy: ty
[11:12] <c_> c@c-desktop:/opt$ sudo rm --directory win4linpro

[11:12] <c_> Why is that happening?
[11:13] <sirus> c_: rm -fr /path/to/dir
[11:13] <dromer> which dhcp client does ubuntu use?
[11:13] <sirus> sudo infront
[11:13] <Flannel> c_: try -r instead of --directory
[11:13] <astro76> shimfs, I know how to get broadcom to work without ndiswrapper, but I don't know how to fix your problem first
[11:13] <Recon69> got to restart , be back in a bit
[11:14] <frojnd> hello there
[11:15] <frojnd> does command line have regular expressions ?
[11:15] <KuDeTa> n
[11:15] <KuDeTa> o
[11:15] <KuDeTa> they are random
[11:15] <KuDeTa> they change every 2 minutes
[11:15] <KuDeTa> :D
[11:15] <n2diy> frojnd: check out the man page for bash, not sure.
[11:15] <Flannel> frojnd: What are you trying to do?
[11:15] <hylje> frojnd: yes, through utilities
[11:16] <ushortcakeu> ok
[11:16] <hylje> frojnd: you can for example invoke perl to your bidding
[11:16] <ushortcakeu> im in with ubuntu
[11:16] <ushortcakeu> still got messed up kezs though
[11:16] <astro76> frojnd, don't forget grep
[11:17] <ushortcakeu> what can i post for zou guzs to take a peek at_
[11:17] <n2diy> ushortcakeu, are you any relation to shortcake?
[11:17] <frojnd> tnx
[11:17] <ushortcakeu> zes
[11:17] <sirus> Is there a "pf" for ubuntu like openbsd's packet filtering system?

[11:18] <ushortcakeu> what file
[11:18] <astro76> sirus, IPFilter
[11:18] <robmaa> opened a file with "vi .." and changed something, but :wq says since its readonly, i have to add ! to override, but where do i have to add !?
[11:18] <GreaseMonkey> :wq!
[11:18] <twosouls82> robmaa: write!
[11:18] <GreaseMonkey> :w!
[11:18] <twosouls82> :)
[11:18] <sirus> astro76: really! and thats openbsd's pf?
[11:18] <shortcake> i can do a update and paste the error..
[11:19] <astro76> ushortcakeu, we'd have to no the problem
[11:19] <shortcake> or my sources..
[11:19] <astro76> sirus, no
[11:19] <astro76> it's the equivalent
[11:19] <frojnd> problem is that I need to filter some txt so invoking perl would be great
[11:19] <shortcake> i cant get apt to do squat
[11:19] <sirus> astro76: iptables?
[11:19] <JimQode> robmaa, It's probably a file only root user can write. use sudo vi to open it.
[11:19] <sirus> or ipf or something?
[11:19] <shortcake> and i need to install k3b
[11:19] <xurax> hey guys
[11:19] <shimfs> how to configure wlan0 ???
[11:19] <shimfs> i am trying to get my wireless drivers to work, and all guides says that i have to use wlan 0
[11:19] <Flannel> frojnd: Filter some text?  you might check out sed.

[11:20] <robmaa> JimQode jeah, it says cant open file for writing...how do i close it? :exit doesnt work, it tells the same with ! to override...

[11:20] <robmaa> oh, thx :-)
[11:21] <Lizard_> hi
[11:21] <MeRodent> shimfs: I used ndiswrapper with a belkin wifi card and after only a single day of effing around in now comes up in network manager as Wireless connection.
[11:21] <Recon69> mhh, moving my home dir did not help
[11:21] <shimfs> MeRodent, yeah but the problem is, that my wireless card appear on eth0 and not on wlan0
[11:22] <shimfs> MeRodent, so im looking for help so i can fix it
[11:22] <twosouls82> shimfs: change the appropriate line in /etc/iftab
[11:22] <Lizard_> i have xubuntu but bootsplash is ugly. Can i make bootsplash with ubuntu?
[11:22] <twosouls82> nano -w /etc/iftab
[11:22] <shimfs> twosouls82, what should i write (im not so good at linux)
[11:22] <sirus> whats the -w for?
[11:22] <shimfs> twosouls82, wait, wlan0 does not even appear in iftab
[11:22] <ushortcakeu> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28463/
[11:22] <dromer> hi all, I'm having a problem, somehow my system is running two dhcp clients which makes my ip changes a heck of alot: http://pastebin.ca/602764   how can I turn one of them off?
[11:22] <JimQode> Recon69, hmm. then your system file probably got corrupted. you can try fixing it with alternate cd, or reinstalling the system. I'm sorry.
[11:23] <Flannel> sirus: no wrap
[11:23] <MeRodent> With the first drivers I tried it came up as eth1 but wouldn't allow me to change any wifi settings. When I loaded the basic card drivers it suddenly worked.
[11:23] <n2diy> can I run my old qbasic files from dos, in Ubuntu?
[11:23] <sirus> Flannel: ahh
[11:23] <JimQode> n2diy, you can use dosemu to run dos programs.
[11:23] <twosouls82> shimfs: you need to change the line with eth0 to wlan0
[11:23] <shortcake> since i have no # to make it withthats when i try to apt-get update
[11:23] <JimQode> !dosemu | n2diy
[11:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dosemu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:23] <shimfs> twosouls82, how do i do that?
[11:23] <shortcake> ok ignore that
[11:23] <Flannel> n2diy: There are BASIC interpretters.  Not sure if there's a QBasic.  DOSBox is DOS though.  So if you can get the qbasic executable/etc
[11:23] <n2diy> JimQode: roger that.
[11:23] <shortcake> thats when i try to apt-get update
[11:24] <twosouls82> shimfs: could you paste me the contents of iftab somewhere?
[11:24] <oscurochu> jason@john-desktop:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs$ sudo ln /usr/local/apache2/htdocs /home/john/Desktop/www
[11:24] <oscurochu> ln: `/usr/local/apache2/htdocs': hard link not allowed for directory
[11:24] <oscurochu> i need help.
[11:24] <MeRodent> Can anyone suggest how I can get the mic on my webcam recognised/working?
[11:24] <sirus> any good news reader programs?
[11:24] <oscurochu>  ln: `/usr/local/apache2/htdocs': hard link not allowed for directory
[11:24] <sirus> for ubuntu?
[11:24] <n2diy> Flannel: roger that too.
[11:24] <Recon69> JimQode : could you give me a bit more info as to what exactly the alternate is?
[11:24] <astro76> shimfs, hmm, my broadcm 4306 is eth1, and working with opensource drivers
[11:25] <astro76> shimfs, never touched ndiswrapper either
[11:25] <dromer> can someone help me check my bootscripts? I don't want dhclient3 to turn on during boot, because I already have another dhclient
[11:25] <shimfs> astro76, ok, what did you do to make it work?
[11:25] <Recon69> jimQode , never mind i found it
[11:26] <JimQode> Recon69, Ubuntu alternate install cd is a cd image without the live Desktop. It can do repair. You can download it from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download by checking the checkbox
[11:26] <oscurochu> can someone help me? :  ln: `/usr/local/apache2/htdocs': hard link not allowed for directory
[11:26] <twosouls82> shimfs: just make the line "eth0 mac 00:14:h5:a3:60:75 arp 1" read "wlan0 mac 00:14:h5:a3:60:75 arp 1" and change eth1 to eth0, save and reboot
[11:26] <astro76> shimfs, first, sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter, and hit yes during install to download firmware
[11:26] <ushortcakeu> here are mz sources http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28464/
[11:26] <astro76> shimfs, then, sudo cp /lib/firmware/bcm43xx* /lib/firmware/`uname -r`
[11:26] <shimfs> twosouls82, what should i write to change the file? right now i cant change it
[11:27] <DjViper> is there any way of forcing ubuntu to connect to a specific named wlan network on boot?
[11:27] <shimfs> astro76, i have seen the uname -r alot of places, what should i write instead of that?
[11:27] <Lizard_> how i can change my bootsplash in xubuntu with Xfce??
[11:27] <twosouls82> shimfs:  sudo nano -w /etc/iftab (always sudo for action to be performed as root)
[11:27] <astro76> shimfs, use that, it will go in the directory named after your running kernel version
[11:27] <stefg> !splash
[11:27] <astro76> shimfs, exactly as I pasted
[11:27] <shimfs> astro76, ok thanks, i will just try the ndiswrapper twosouls82  is helping me with
[11:28] <ubotu> To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.
[11:28] <ushortcakeu> what do you guys think
[11:28] <stefg> !usplash
[11:28] <ubotu> To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[11:28] <twosouls82> shimfs: ndiswrapper has higher rates than bcm43xx for me
[11:28] <Borat_Sagdiyev> bang bang skid skid nigga
[11:29] <Lizard_> i want change bootsplash, not splash gnome
[11:29] <ushortcakeu> did zou see mz pastbin_
[11:29] <Recon69> last question, I take it i want the 6.06 alternate CD to do the fix?
[11:30] <hola_world22> hi, i'm a mac
[11:30] <astro76> ushortcakeu, I asked what the error was
[11:31] <Recon69> well, i'll try with the 6.06 disk, hope it's the right one as it a 700mb dl
[11:32] <robmaa> :O it WORKED changed from nvidia to nv driver in xorg.conf... any downsides of this?
[11:32] <n2diy> Recon69: they are all 700mb DLs, GL.
[11:33] <twosouls82> robmaa: now you don't have 3d acceleration
[11:33] <JimQode> Recon69, whichever version you are using. It it's dapper you are right.
[11:33] <robmaa> twosouls82 oh..great... but it doesnt work when i use nvidia.. get that "could not open the device file /dev/nvidia0" and tried lots of things...
[11:34] <shortcake> astro i pasted it for you
[11:34] <dromer> so, can anyone help me turn off dhclient3 on boot?
[11:34] <shortcake> astro76?
[11:35] <twosouls82> robmaa: I have never seen that one appear before... what card are you using? (lspci | grep -i nvidia)
[11:36] <shortcake>  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28463/
[11:37] <shortcake>  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28464/
[11:37] <robmaa> 8800gts... wrote grep -i nvidia in the terminal, but nothing happened and there is no username in front of the line, completely blank now... writing any command doesnt do anything...
[11:37] <shortcake> any help with those erors and sources?
[11:38] <rausb0> robmaa: type: lspci | grep -i nvidia    not grep -i nvidia alone
[11:38] <robmaa> oh :-)
[11:38] <rausb0> robmaa: press ctrl-c first
[11:38] <twosouls82> robmaa: "lspci | grep -i nvidia" is a piped command, the results of the first part is piped to the part behind the "|"
[11:38] <twosouls82> so issue that as is
[11:40] <robmaa> =1:00.0 vga compatible controller: nvidia corp unknown device 0193 (rev a2)
[11:40] <robmaa> oh, that = should be a 0
[11:41] <shimfs> astro76, i am trying your thing with the fwcutter now
[11:41] <twosouls82> robmaa: which driver were you using? from nVidia's site?
[11:41] <shimfs> astro76, i have just said sudo cp /lib/firmware/bcm43xx* /lib/firmware/`uname -r but i just get to the next line in the terminal and it just says > and nothing else happens
[11:42] <twosouls82> shimfs: did you succeed in changing the interface name?
[11:42] <shimfs> astro76, should i exchange uname with my name?
[11:42] <shimfs> twosouls82, yes, but im having dificulities with the rest of the guide :S
[11:42] <shimfs> twosouls82, so right now im trying the solution astro76 gave me
[11:42] <Ross> excuse me, i've a problem whit a bluethoot USB adapter, 'cause i can't connect it to others devices: can someone help me?
[11:42] <robmaa> used sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx and sudo nvidia-glx-config enable and restarted... thats what it said in a guide to install nvidia
[11:43] <twosouls82> shimfs, good luck with it, if it won't work either... just ask for help on the ndiswrapper again
[11:43] <defrysk> robmaa, try sudo nvidia-xconfig
[11:43] <shimfs> twosouls82, ok, my only problem right now, is that astro76  said i should write sudo cp /lib/firmware/bcm43xx* /lib/firmware/`uname -r after i had installet fwcutter
[11:44] <shimfs> twosouls82, but when i write that line exactly as i wrote, i just get to the next line which is > and nothing happens from there, and normal commands wont work
[11:44] <JD45> Hey guys.
[11:44] <astro76> shimfs, you missed the last '
[11:44] <robmaa> defrysk tried that and restarted gdm, but still the same error with could not open the dice file 7dev/nvidia0/
[11:44] <twosouls82> robmaa: try what defrysk says, if that doesn't help either you should try the driver in nvidia-glx-new
[11:44] <astro76> sudo cp /lib/firmware/bcm43xx* /lib/firmware/`uname -r`
[11:44] <JD45> I was just considering a switch to Ubuntu and had some questions. Wondering if anyone could help me out with them?
[11:44] <shimfs> astro76, ah ok,
[11:44] <Flannel> !ask | JD45
[11:44] <ubotu> JD45: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:45] <GreaseMonkey> gonna sleep, gnight
[11:45] <robmaa> twosouls82 do i have to uninstall nvidia-glx first? if yes, plz tell he how :-)
[11:45] <twosouls82> shimfs: like he said :)
[11:45] <astro76> shimfs, after than, I see wireless networks when I click on the panel applet.
[11:45] <Ross> excuse me, i've a problem whit a bluethoot USB adapter, 'cause i can't connect it to others devices: can someone help me?
[11:45] <shimfs> astro76, i just get the information that /lib/firmware/Linux is not a directory
[11:45] <JD45> Okay, I have an Intel Core 2 Duo processor currently running Vista which is demanding of RAM. I'm just curious is Ubuntu will support my hardware. In particular my wireless internet card since I use a router in my home.
[11:45] <shortcake> did you see the errors astro76?
[11:45] <twosouls82> robmaa: I would do that, yes; "sudo aptitude remove nvidia-glx"
[11:45] <shimfs> astro76, when i say sudo cp /lib/firmware/bcm43xx* /lib/firmware/`uname` -r
[11:46] <astro76> shimfs, what does uname -r give you
[11:46] <astro76> shimfs, by itself
[11:46] <Flannel> !wifi | JD45
[11:46] <ubotu> JD45: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[11:46] <twosouls82> shimfs: odd
[11:46] <astro76> shimfs, you could copy it manually
[11:46] <shimfs> astro76, if i just write `uname` i get bash: Linux: ommand not found
[11:46] <mojojojo__> hi... after suspending my laptop Syntapatic Touchpad doesn't work... do you know how to fix it???
[11:46] <JD45> Thanks ubotu. That's all I needed. I appreciate it.
[11:46] <shimfs> astro76, i will try
[11:46] <Flannel> JD45: that page lists hardware and the methods.  You can also see !hardware, which is a (possibly outdated) hardware compat. list
[11:47] <twosouls82> shimfs: just "uname -r"
[11:47] <astro76> shimfs, no backticks just uname -r
[11:47] <shimfs> astro76, twosouls82 ok
[11:47] <shimfs> 2.6.20-16-lowlatency
[11:47] <shimfs> astro76, twosouls82 i get 2.6.20-16-lowlatency
[11:48] <Flannel> shimfs: Why, may I ask, are you using the low latency kernel?
[11:48] <twosouls82> shimfs: since that is okay, you made a typo in the other one
[11:48] <twosouls82> shimfs: make sure you copy and paste this:
[11:48] <hartono>  /nick petrelli
[11:48] <twosouls82> sudo cp /lib/firmware/bcm43xx* /lib/firmware/`uname -r`
[11:48] <shimfs> twosouls82, so what should i write? exactly
[11:48] <astro76> copy exactly as twosouls82 said
[11:48] <astro76> you got it wrong again
[11:48] <shimfs> Flannel, because some ndiswrapper guide told me to download that, i dont know what else i should download, im new to linux
[11:49] <shortcake> i dont know what to do...
[11:49] <shortcake> i'm stuck..
[11:49] <astro76> shimfs, select the text in xchat, then middle click to paste in gnome terminal
[11:49] <twosouls82> robmaa: any luck?
[11:49] <Flannel> shimfs: Get the -generic one, in main.  lowlatency isn't what you want.  `linux-generic` should do it.  (and remove your low latency ones after a reboot).
[11:49] <shimfs> astro76, what text? the uname -r ?
[11:49] <shimfs> astro76, im a bit confused now :)
[11:49] <shimfs> Flannel, i will look at it when my wireless works
[11:49] <robmaa> twosouls82 i did that, but now get: failed to load module "wfb" (module does not exist) api mismatch the nvidia kernel module has the version 1.0-9631, but this x module has the version 1.0-9755. please make sure....
[11:50] <robmaa> when restarting gdm
[11:50] <astro76> shimfs, it's sudo cp /lib/firmware/bcm43xx* /lib/firmware/`uname -r`   ..... you typed sudo cp /lib/firmware/bcm43xx* /lib/firmware/`uname` -r
[11:50] <astro76> see the difference ?
[11:50] <astro76> last backtick misplaced
[11:50] <shimfs> astro76, ahh thanks
[11:50] <astro76> np
[11:51] <astro76> shortcake, sorry not sure, you're running breezy?
[11:51] <shimfs> astro76, now i typed that, and i get no warning messages or anything, i just get to a new line in the console
[11:51] <twosouls82> robmaa: that is a bug in the package... but since it works; you should download the driver from their (nvidia's) website and install that.. you can also  keep it as is.. as everthing seems to work with the bugged package's driver
[11:51] <shimfs> astro76, is that all i have to do? and then just reboot and try to see if wireless works
[11:51] <astro76> might want to try feisty
[11:51] <ushortcakeu> zes
[11:51] <astro76> shimfs, I didn't have to reboot, just waited about 15 seconds
[11:51] <shimfs> astro76, ok
[11:52] <twosouls82> robmaa: as for the api mismatch; "sudo nano -w /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common"
[11:52] <twosouls82> and add nv
[11:52] <robmaa> twosouls82 can i do that vis the terminal somehow?
[11:52] <shimfs> twosouls82, since i changed the eth0 to wlan0 i have lost the icon for wireless in the network manager :S
[11:52] <robmaa> via
[11:52] <ushortcakeu> so zou didnt see the errors_
[11:52] <twosouls82> shimfs: reboot first
[11:52] <twosouls82> :)
[11:52] <ushortcakeu> ok im fixing the kezs 1 sec
[11:53] <shimfs> twosouls82, i am pretty sure i did, but i will try again
[11:53] <twosouls82> robmaa: you can do this at the terminal :)
[11:53] <rausb0> shortcake: type: cat /etc/issue  ...to see which version of ubuntu you have
[11:53] <robmaa> may i ask how? no idea :-(
[11:53] <Mr_Awesome> what version of windows media player do the w32codecs package support?
[11:54] <twosouls82> robmaa: start a terminal (I don't know it's name for Gnome), and type in the command I gave you and press "ENTER"
[11:54] <burning_> I want to mount guest pc(ubuntu) file system on my system via RJ45..
[11:54] <shortcake> setxkbmap <language_code>
[11:54] <burning_> plz guide me through the steps
[11:54] <twosouls82> it's as simple as that... I assume the terminal is in the menu too, robmaa
[11:55] <twosouls82> after you press enter it will ask you for your root's password
[11:55] <shortcake> astro76 do you want me to post again?
[11:55] <twosouls82> propably your own
[11:55] <robmaa> i already did that with nvidia-glx-new and that got me that problem, after that you didnt wrote another command
[11:55] <shimfs> twosouls82, i have just rebooted, and the wireless is gone since i changed it from eth0 to wlan0
[11:56] <Jusupov> has anybody configured dhcp3-server on 6.06?
[11:56] <twosouls82> shimfs: worked for KDE, might keep its settings from earlier in Gnome... you can change it back if you need to
[11:56] <ushortcakeu> ?
[11:56] <astro76> shimfs, not sure if you read, but my bcm4306 is eth1
[11:56] <ushortcakeu> ok cool
[11:56] <ushortcakeu> i fixed my key layout
[11:56] <shimfs> astro76, hmm ah ok, i will try to switch it back to eth0 then
[11:56] <astro76> should probably try changing back
[11:57] <ushortcakeu> no i can do commands right
[11:57] <twosouls82> robmaa: you did "sudo nano -w /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common" ?
[11:57] <twosouls82> and added nv to the list?
[11:57] <passbe> is there a way of showing what programs are currently accessing the lan / internet ?
[11:57] <twosouls82> astro76: nice you noticed that :)
[11:58] <twosouls82> passbe: netstat
[11:58] <robmaa> didnt do that twosouls82, will do that now
[11:58] <Jusupov> netstat -a
[11:58] <ushortcakeu> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28463/
[11:58] <twosouls82> robmaa: make it read; DISABLED_MODULES="nv"
[11:58] <petrelli> eeee
[11:59] <passbe> thx
[11:59] <Jusupov> dhcp3-server?anyone?
[11:59] <ushortcakeu> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28464/
[11:59] <Jusupov> I did change my eth0 to static
[11:59] <shortcake> are those correct?
[12:00] <robmaa> ok, wrote that line in the restricted-modules common file, now?
[12:00] <Jusupov> I did change the default network card to listen to eth0
[12:00] <twosouls82> robmaa, reboot and enjoy the driver you installed
[12:00] <bluebanana> when i press the PrintScreen  button nothing happens. how can i diagnose the problem?
[12:00] <robmaa> twosouls82 you mean the nvidia-glx-new?
[12:01] <Snoopotic> hi
[12:01] <Dark> hello
[12:01] <Dark> is there anyone to help me here?
[12:01] <Jusupov> hello Dark
[12:02] <Jusupov> whats your problem?
[12:02] <twosouls82> yep, it will work, even with the missing wfb module; I suggest you install the driver from Nvidia's website eventually (using a tut you search for usin Google, there are plenty)
[12:02] <JimQode> !ask | Dark
[12:02] <ubotu> Dark: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:02] <Dark> i need to install a pci graphics card
[12:02] <Dark> but if i insert it and load ubuntu
[12:02] <Dark> i get kernel panic
[12:02] <twosouls82> robmaa: ---^
[12:02] <burning_> Can anyone help me with samba server
[12:02] <Dark> because of the nondisableable integrated graphics card
[12:03] <Dark> how can i disable it manually via ubuntu?
[12:03] <Jusupov> Dark> you can't disable it in the BIOS, is it?
[12:03] <Dark> no i cant disable it in the bios
[12:04] <twosouls82> Dark: try to update the bios first
[12:04] <twosouls82> I would do that :)
[12:04] <Dark> i did
[12:04] <Snoopotic> i downloaded ubuntu 704 64 bit (have a amd64 3000+ 2GBRAM with ati x800xl) tried do boot from CD but theres just "loading kernel" then screen gets black, pc freezes and my keyboard-leds for capslock and another one (not numlock, the other I dunno ^^) are blining... I  hvae tohardreset... any idea what that might be?
[12:04] <Dark> basically i though of blacklisting the intel-agp
[12:04] <Snoopotic> starting in save graphical mode does the same
[12:04] <Dark> but how?
[12:05] <robmaa> twosouls82 well, the failed wfb is still there like you said, but next to it is "need libwfb but wfbscreeninit not found and fatal server error addscreen/screeninit failed for driver 0

[12:12] <defrysk> as far as I know
[12:12] <ushortcakeu> so you think my sources look good?
[12:12] <twosouls82> bronze: you are sure you did "killall wine && killall wineserver"
[12:12] <ushortcakeu> what about just compiling the k3b source?
[12:12] <defrysk> ushortcakeu, yup exept for the ezy-security bit
[12:13] <robmaa> twosouls82: what do i have to do now?
[12:13] <Dark> how do i blacklist intel-agp?
[12:13] <ushortcakeu> ok
[12:13] <bronze> twosouls82, killall wine gives "killed no process"
[12:13] <bronze> but I did kill wineserver
[12:13] <ushortcakeu> i dont know how hard it is to compile k3b in breezy
[12:13] <twosouls82> bronze: and that didn't work? then I don't know
[12:14] <twosouls82> robmaa: I am going to your pm
[12:14] <astro76> ushortcakeu, many times more difficult than getting your apt-get working
[12:14] <Temik> Can anyone help me? I've reinstalled wine and now Icons are not showing up in the applications menu!!!((((
[12:14] <ushortcakeu> what do you suggest?
[12:14] <Temik> I've reinstalled 5 times and still no use!
[12:14] <ushortcakeu> i cant upgrade the os
[12:14] <Hultiz> Temik, that happened to me as well, but it still worked
[12:14] <astro76> ushortcakeu, fixing it as defrysk said
[12:14] <defrysk> ushortcakeu, my suggestion is to download ubuntu-feisty
[12:15] <rivalmel> hello, thank you in advance for any and all assistance. Using Ubuntu 7.04, all updates, and a generic HP 5 button mouse, I have no middle mouse button feature, as if it doesn't register at all. Scrolling works fine. Any direction I should take?
[12:15] <cosme> yes feisty is good
[12:15] <tommy_> I need help with installing feisty with the alternate cd, it doesnt detect my cd rom drive. Any help?, where can i find a driver floppy with linux drivers on it?
[12:15] <ushortcakeu> i have to use breezy because i am running it on an xbox as well and i want to have a pc running it so i can troubleshootr
[12:15] <bluebanana> Hi. Is there a CLI/terminal program to "listen" as I press keys? I want to test whether some keys on my keyboard are defective. Thank you.
[12:15] <Hultiz> Hello. I accidentally removed the activity field from the upper panel, how do I get it back?
[12:15] <slowz> ushortcakeu: that messed up repo was a src repo you still shoud have still been able to apt-get install k3b
[12:16] <astro76> rivalmel, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto
[12:16] <ushortcakeu> hmm
[12:16] <rivalmel> thank you astro76
[12:16] <defrysk> ushortcakeu, the problem with breezy is that without maintenance the os is not secure anymore
[12:16] <ushortcakeu> what happens if i add fiesty sources?
[12:16] <bronze> Which application should I go for? Deluge for KTorrent?
[12:16] <twosouls82> are you ready for it robmaa?
[12:16] <robmaa> jeah
[12:17] <robmaa> like i wrote in the pm :-)
[12:17] <ushortcakeu> i dont care if it's secure i just need k3b
[12:17] <battlesquid> hello, i don't know what happend but now i can't hear sounds anylonger (i have done no settings manually) in ubuntu feisty
[12:17] <Temik> Hultiz: Yes I know! But I am a newbie at wine and I can not find all the needed apps
[12:17] <cosme> lol
[12:17] <twosouls82> I am in a private message with you, so that we don't flood the channel to much
[12:17] <defrysk> ushortcakeu, better to do a fresh install : you are 3 versions away from feisty
[12:17] <cosme> why do you all use wine?
[12:17] <ushortcakeu> better to do a fresh install?
[12:17] <ushortcakeu> of breezy?
[12:17] <defrysk> ushortcakeu, yes
[12:17] <defrysk> no of feisty
[12:17] <battlesquid> ushortcakeu, make sure you back up your home folder :)
[12:18] <ushortcakeu> do they make fiesty for xbox?
[12:18] <defrysk> ushortcakeu, breezy is outdated as I said earlyer
[12:18] <ushortcakeu> this is a fresh install of breezy
[12:18] <cosme> im sure you can install fiesty on xbox
[12:18] <ushortcakeu> ok
[12:18] <Hultiz> Temik, start your home folder and press ctrl + h to show hidden files and folders. Then you should find a .wine folder which contains a fake windows and a drive_c
[12:19] <twosouls82> robmaa: can't find the private message?
[12:19] <ushortcakeu> xbox needs a modded kernel
[12:19] <ushortcakeu> i already have the bios installed
[12:19] <defrysk> ushortcakeu, http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/Download#xUbuntu
[12:19] <cosme> i used wine before but i had too many problems with support and what not. so i just installed vmware and have windows xp as a guest pc - but i never use it
[12:20] <ushortcakeu> ok
[12:20] <ushortcakeu> thats breezy
[12:20] <defrysk> ushortcakeu, I noticed,
[12:20] <robmaa> oooh twosouls82 sorry, im not registered, thats why...
[12:20] <Temik> Can someone at least tell me how to edit the gnome menu? The one with the applications list.....
[12:20] <twosouls82> robmaa: please do that first, I won't flood the channel
[12:21] <mobal> hey
[12:21] <ushortcakeu> i have a whole setup here with a usb dvd burner installed in the controller port of the xbox and i just now need a burning app
[12:21] <mobal> how can i change the console language?
[12:21] <ushortcakeu> k3b is the best though
[12:21] <defrysk> ushortcakeu, have a look here http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/Users_Help_Users
[12:21] <Temik>  Can someone at least tell me how to edit the gnome menu? The one with the applications list.....
[12:21] <Rage_> K3B!!!
[12:21] <slowz> ushortcakeu: have you fixed ezy to breezy
[12:21] <defrysk> ushortcakeu, maybe you can get help there
[12:21] <ushortcakeu> yes
[12:22] <tommy_> hello.
[12:22] <ushortcakeu> i fixed it
[12:22] <Hultiz> Temik, do you actually need a shortcut to wine? you will still use the terminal to start programs with it
[12:22] <ushortcakeu> let me check again
[12:22] <Temik> I just started using it yesterday........
[12:22] <OMGLAZERS> join #xubuntu
[12:22] <OMGLAZERS> Whoops D:
[12:23] <Temik> So I really don't know how........
[12:23] <ushortcakeu> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28463/
[12:23] <ushortcakeu> oops
[12:23] <ushortcakeu>                                               deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy multiverse breezy-security universe
[12:23] <ushortcakeu> thats right?
[12:23] <tommy_> maybe
[12:23] <OMGLAZERS> Hey everyone im trying to unhide a file which I dont think a script is able to find but after using 'show hidden files' I can. Its .config in /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic (and non generic). How can I disable a file from hiding itself.
[12:23] <Hultiz> Temik, just google ubuntu wine and whatever you want to install with it and you will probably find some nice walkthroughs
[12:24] <Temik> Hultiz: Ok thanks I'll try.... But I really need to edit the meny for other reasons//////
[12:24] <OMGLAZERS> Oh wait. It doesnt show files that begin with a . ?
[12:24] <cosme> lll
[12:24] <astro76> Temik, hit alt+f2 and in there put: ghelp:system-admin-guide?menustructure-0
[12:25] <Temik> Thanks astro!
[12:25] <Hultiz> awesome stuff astro76 =)
[12:25] <astro76> also http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-1.0.html
[12:26] <Temik> OMG! Thank you very much!
[12:26] <defrysk> ushortcakeu, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28467/
[12:26] <Temik> Ok bye everyone! And thanks!
[12:26] <astro76> I was doing the same thing yesterday
[12:26] <astro76> np
[12:27] <KennyTheGeek> Hmm... how do i download all the content of a folder through ftp with wget?
[12:28] <slowz> ushortcakeu: i see that breezy is not in this repo http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/
[12:28] <ushortcakeu>  what should i do?
[12:28] <slowz> like he said i dont think breezy is suported anymore
[12:28] <astro76> ushortcakeu, it still doesn't work?
[12:29] <chronographer> hello folks,   have a problem with f-spot. it soedn't import photos from my ricoh caplio camera properly. ie. it imports the correct number of files biut they're empty... any ideas?
[12:29] <chronographer> Should I ditch it and try picasa?
[12:29] <defrysk> ushortcakeu, I think you should get another linuxdistro for xbox , breezy is too old
[12:29] <RivaeAerya> i'm going to download a LiveCD. How can i pump over the ISO to the computer (with windows) that CAN burn? (this one can't, but the download speeds here are much higher)
[12:29] <chronographer> yes
[12:29] <chronographer> an iso file is just a cd image... its portable
[12:30] <chronographer> oh...  'HOW'
[12:30] <astro76> RivaeAerya, are they connected via network?
[12:30] <RivaeAerya> astro76: via internet, yes.
[12:30] <RivaeAerya> they both have internet
[12:30] <RivaeAerya> but there's no network cable inbetween them. But we're on a LAN
[12:30] <RivaeAerya> so i think we're networked
[12:30] <Insomnia1> Hello from a Newbie! What does this mean and how do I correct it? bogl_init failed. I am running Feisty
[12:30] <ushortcakeu> breezy is really fast though
[12:30] <astro76> RivaeAerya, are you firewalled on the linux machine?
[12:30] <RivaeAerya> astro76: yes
[12:31] <ushortcakeu> i cant get k3b to install on debian eighter
[12:31] <astro76> RivaeAerya, install openssh-server on linux
[12:31] <ushortcakeu> but i did it on gentoox and it's just too slow
[12:31] <RivaeAerya> astro76: already up 'n runnin'
[12:31] <astro76> RivaeAerya, forward port 22 through to that machine
[12:31] <astro76> RivaeAerya, use filezilla on linux to connect with sftp
[12:31] <astro76> RivaeAerya, err windows
[12:31] <RivaeAerya> filezilla?
[12:32] <astro76> opensource ftp client
[12:32] <astro76> http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/
[12:32] <Myrtti> RivaeAerya: or any other sftp cabable client software
[12:32] <RivaeAerya> ok
[12:32] <RivaeAerya> (nautilus?)
[12:32] <astro76> oh it's linux on both ends?
[12:33] <RivaeAerya> no
[12:33] <RivaeAerya> my computer is linux, the other is windows
[12:34] <astro76> all that's needed on linux is to install openssh-server, it will just work
[12:34] <chronographer> Can someone suggest a reason f-spot will import fiels from my Ricoh as empty, but correctly named image files?
[12:34] <RivaeAerya> firestarter already has "allow port 22 to everyone", but it doesn't work
[12:34] <chronographer> filezilla is really easy.. just put in the ip of your linux box and your linux username and password
[12:34] <ushortcakeu> what did you mean by you didn't see breezy?
[12:35] <astro76> RivaeAerya, I don't use firewalling on my linux boxes, but it sounds like you need to allow it in, not out
[12:35] <RivaeAerya> astro76: my router blocks outside attempts anyway so i guess i can disable it
[12:35] <mobal_> hello
[12:35] <astro76> RivaeAerya, you need to forward port 22 on the router to your linux machine
[12:35] <mobal> hello
[12:36] <RivaeAerya> astro76: i want to pump the file over to the Windows box, not to the linux one
[12:36] <chronographer> you must port forward on the router also
[12:36] <babarhaq> Hi all I just installed dia on 7.04. It doesent appear in any menu though I can run it from command prompt?
[12:36] <RivaeAerya> chronographer: no, we're on a LAN, it's alright.
[12:36] <Myrtti> !samba | RivaeAerya
[12:36] <ubotu> RivaeAerya: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[12:36] <ushortcakeu> oh wow
[12:36] <astro76> RivaeAerya, right but the windows machine makes the connection to the linux machine
[12:36] <chronographer> you still need ip for lan though
[12:36] <ushortcakeu> i see what you mean now
[12:36] <astro76> RivaeAerya, the linux machine is the server
[12:36] <RivaeAerya> astro76: to download? alright
[12:36] <Eric_Jardas> Does anyone know where is a tutor about making linux look like mac os..i lost the url
[12:36] <ushortcakeu> i guess it's back to debian
[12:36] <chronographer> www.google.com
[12:36] <astro76> RivaeAerya, the reverse connection to send the file is automatically allowed
[12:37] <RivaeAerya> alright
[12:37] <ushortcakeu> thanks guys i just feel like i was so close
[12:37] <ushortcakeu> have a good night/day
[12:37] <defrysk> ushortcakeu, breezy is just not secure and unmaintained, sorry
[12:38] <defrysk> and good luck with the mother distro :)
[12:39] <RivaeAerya> astro76: what's sftp?
[12:39] <chronographer> secure file transfer protocol
[12:39] <astro76> and it's part of ssh
[12:39] <RivaeAerya> ok
[12:40] <astro76> you could potentially use scp also, but this is easiest
[12:41] <babarhaq> Hi all I just installed dia on 7.04. It doesent appear in any menu though I can run it from command prompt?
[12:42] <Ernz> Anyone know how to add Script-Fu scripts in the Gimp?
[12:42] <babarhaq> can some one tell me where to report it at least?
[12:42] <Ernz> babarhaq - press ALT + F2 and type "dia"
[12:43] <toni22> antonio
[12:43] <sirus> OpenBSD's packet filtering system do they have that for ubuntu or something equalvent to it?
[12:43] <astro76> babarhaq, you could install dia-gnome instead
[12:43] <toni22> es guapo,rubio,ojos azules

[12:48] <DerangedDingo> Hey everybody, sorry to just jump in, but my TTYs are messed up. The font is too large and goes offscreen, making it difficult to even log in sometimes. Is there a .conf file that needs to be edited somewhere?

[01:11] <lenskjold> http://youtube.com/watch?v=xC5uEe5OzNQ - if someone have time to watch this video, i would like to no if its possible to get all these great desktopeffects in the Feisty Fawn version? :)
[01:12] <sn0> lenskjold that is beryl, you can install beryl from synaptic and enable it, or install compiz-fusion (new name) to achieve the same
[01:12] <shukran5> hello.  i have started to install Feisty Fawn.  not a great user but trying to get into it.  Now the install has hung at 82%.  Should I reboot?
[01:12] <sn0> well beryl/compiz remerged = compiz-fusion
[01:13] <currach> How long has it "hung"
[01:13] <currach> ?
[01:13] <sn0> but to start, lenskjold please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DesktopEffects
[01:13] <shukran5> many hours currach (small irish boat)
[01:13] <sn0> <- irish ;]
[01:13] <currach> Well done - nobody spots that!!
[01:14] <shukran5> <-------ME TOO :-)
[01:14] <shukran5> LOL
[01:14] <lenskjold> ok nice i'll try:p
[01:14] <sn0> its a small world :)
[01:14] <shukran5> tis
[01:14] <currach> 'tis indee-ad
[01:14] <sn0> shukran5 before you booted from the cd, did you check the cd for defects at the main menu? or maybe check the md5 sum before burning
[01:15] <shukran5> well now - i got it from a linux mag cd.
[01:15] <sirus> Is there documentation on tighting up security on the ubuntu workstation its not a server but i wanna make sure its updated and secured..
[01:17] <shukran5> it is hanging but the cd version is still loaded behind it like
[01:17] <shukran5> i can still use the menu options top left
[01:17] <currach> shukran5 I saw that happen and took the agricultural approach and rebooted. Worked fine the second time - no idea why.
[01:17] <ci_omegadog> Anyone here use lighttpd on Ubuntu?
[01:17] <sn0> shukran5 hmm worth a reboot, maybe give the disk a clean but there is definately an option on the ubuntu cd to test the cd for defects
[01:17] <shukran5> it says Configuring apt then flow tube stuck at 82% and then scanning the mirror
[01:17] <shukran5> ok.  i will give it a lash.  thanks boys
[01:17] <sn0> that system is online shukran5 ?
[01:17] <ci_omegadog> btw- with ~50 Ubuntu related channels on freenode, there should be one for Ubuntu server.
[01:17] <shukran5> should be really
[01:17] <rambo3> there is
[01:17] <sn0> so its not timing out or anything, maybe check your dns is working correctly
[01:17] <shukran5> it was connected to a lan when on windows
[01:17] <shukran5> k
[01:17] <ci_omegadog> what's the server related channel
[01:17] <ci_omegadog> ?
[01:17] <Mulder> in Gnome X-Chat 0.16, (using 7.04) how do I get the userlist to show up on my right hand side like it does in regular x-chat
[01:17] <rambo3> #ubuntu-server ?
[01:18] <sn0> Mulder im not sure but i just installed xchat instead of gnome xchat
[01:18] <Mulder> sn0: that might just work! heh guess i'll do that
[01:18] <ci_omegadog> dug...
[01:18] <ci_omegadog> err duh.. that's rambo
[01:18] <ci_omegadog> err thanks rambo- sorry, just off a 12 hr shift :)
[01:19] <Mulder> also, is there any way to get compiz/beryl working with ati proprietary fglrx drivers?
[01:19] <rambo3> #ubuntu #ubuntu-kernel  #ubuntu-server are best here
[01:19] <ajmorris_> anyone used bin2iso to convert a .bin file to a .iso here?
[01:19] <c1|freaky> lol http://www.digiplace.nl/images/81971182_49a82c1cd7.jpg <-- ubuntu logo ... i'd like to have my head there, too ;D
[01:19] <currach> Back soon, must feed some kids. Working from him is great.
[01:19] <Mulder> radeon works out of the box, but radeon driver has a noticeable rendering lag compared to fglrx even for menial tasks like browsing webpages with firefox
[01:19] <rambo3> ajmorris_, bschunk
[01:19] <ukubuntu> Hi, I am unable to play any video in vlc or mplayer, including ogg theora. Music is fin mp3 and ogg vorbis. when the video file starts to play the player stops or closes itself pretty instantly. compiz and beryl not running at the time
[01:19] <sn0> Mulder please https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DesktopEffects
[01:19] <rambo3> ajmorris_, bchunk
[01:20] <ukubuntu> fin - fine
[01:20] <ajmorris_> rambo3, needs a .cue file
[01:20] <ajmorris_> i dont have one
[01:20] <sn0> +see

[01:21] <tesa> yuyhy
[01:21] <Mulder> sn0: cheers
[01:21] <sn0> np
[01:21] <hylje> ajmorris_: you can generally guess the cuesheet, given the cd has only one track
[01:21] <ajmorris_> hylje: but how would i generate one for bchunk to use?
[01:22] <Mulder> by the looks of the articles it looks like aiglx is the solution iinstalled out of the box
[01:22] <PG> ive start beryl and the dragg bar disapeard
[01:22] <sn0> Mulder i believe your choices are either aiglx with auto detected radeon driver, or alternatively fglrx + xgl
[01:22] <hylje> ajmorris_: take an existing 1-track cuesheet, open it with a text editor to point at the right .bin
[01:22] <Edzhjus> ok..i tried that debian skype but Ubuntu 6.06 says that it won`t work so can`t install..any other ideas to get skype?
[01:22] <Mulder> sn0: sounds good. guess i'll keep fglrx around at least until they fix the rendering penalty in radeon
[01:23] <ajmorris_> hylje: first i need an existing cuesheet......
[01:23] <hylje> ajmorris_: i dont have any handy, sorry
[01:23] <ajmorris_> :(
[01:23] <RivaeAerya> astro76: i tried to connect but it's just showing the welcome message and then times out.
[01:24] <ajmorris_> the problem is, i used bin2iso, but it creates a non iso9660, so i cant mount it
[01:24] <sn0> Edzhjus you can download the dynamic static file from skype website and use on dapper
[01:24] <sn0> as they only list a deb for feisty fawn
[01:24] <sirus> Is there documentation on tighting up security on the ubuntu workstation its not a server but i wanna make sure its updated and secured..
[01:25] <sn0> sirus maybe check the security debian manual, its mainly server orientated but gives you a few things to check
[01:25] <sn0> im not sure i would use the kernel patches, i leave that up to you
[01:25] <sn0> http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/
[01:25] <sirus> hrmm alright
[01:26] <sirus> i just installed feisty do I need kernel updates?
[01:26] <sirus> patches
[01:26] <Edzhjus> hms..and what about this one? http://www.skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/linux/repositories.html
[01:26] <sn0> defaults are generally fine unless you have a reason to change them
[01:26] <PG> i found my problem ciao
[01:26] <Zentax> Hey all, Im having issues with formatting & mounting a new 400GB SATA HDD
[01:26] <sn0> those are for debian etch Edzhjus , i haven't tried
[01:26] <Zentax> first i do
[01:26] <Zentax> sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb (after i have run fdisk)
[01:27] <RivaeAerya> I'm trying to connect to my SFTP server but it's just showing the welcome message and then times out. How can i fix t his?
[01:27] <Zentax> oh wait.. never mind.
[01:27] <Zentax> fixed my problem :p
[01:27] <sn0> nice Zentax :-)
[01:27] <Zentax> oh wait no sorry i did not lol :p
[01:27] <sn0> RivaeAerya check the /var/log/auth.log to see why
[01:27] <Zentax> ok back to my problem. i run that command first.
[01:27] <Zentax> then i do a
[01:27] <sn0> also try logging in via ssh shell only, and check the log again
[01:27] <Zentax> mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /storage
[01:27] <RivaeAerya> Jul  4 13:20:30 robin-desktop sshd[7494] : Did not receive identification string from <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:27] <Edzhjus> sn0, which one you suggest - dynamic or static?
[01:28] <Zentax> and get an invalid file system type. i.e. it doesnt see it as an ext3
[01:28] <RivaeAerya> sn0: Jul  4 13:20:30 robin-desktop sshd[7494] : Did not receive identification string from <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:28] <sn0> Edzhjus i dont use skype sorry
[01:28] <sn0> i use wengophone :)
[01:28] <Zentax> Am i missing a step? I have google a few different methods for doing this.
[01:28] <Zentax> All of which seem to give me the same results.
[01:28] <sn0> Zentax maybe install gparted (front end to parted) and try through that
[01:29] <Edzhjus> is it compatible to skype?
[01:29] <Zentax> Ahh kk sn0 thanks ill give that a shot :)
[01:29] <sn0> Edzhjus no, as skype is proprietary
[01:29] <sn0> unfortunately
[01:29] <RivaeAerya> sn0: Jul  4 13:20:30 robin-desktop sshd[7494] : Did not receive identification string from <IP_ADDRESS>. What does this mean?
[01:29] <sn0> RivaeAerya did you try connecting via ssh only? not sftp
[01:30] <Zentax> tis ok i fixed it now sn0. i was doning mkfs.ext3 on /dev/sdb (not /dev/sdb1). Thanks for the suggestion :)
[01:30] <sn0> how are you connecting via sftp on the client
[01:30] <sn0> ah yea Zentax the partition not the disk :)
[01:30] <RivaeAerya> sn0: i used FIleZilla, and in the top typed in my ip address and username and password
[01:30] <RivaeAerya> and the port 22
[01:30] <Zentax> yup just realised when i hit the up key :p
[01:30] <mikes1> Beryl is no more?
[01:30] <sn0> RivaeAerya try upgrading your filezilla, if you are on windows then try winscp (its very good)
[01:30] <RivaeAerya> sn0: alright
[01:30] <sn0> but in linux gnome/kde all have facility to connect over sftp easily
[01:31] <sn0> mikes beryl + compiz == compiz-fusion
[01:31] <sn0> mikes1 even
[01:32] <mikes1> sn0: available for debian?
[01:32] <ajmorris_> mikes1, compiz-fusion is still in beta however
[01:32] <mikes1> ok
[01:32] <sn0> thats a good point ajmorris_  :)
[01:32] <ajmorris_> mikes1, but yes you can get it for debian.... if you want to run it, try tuxfamily.org ;)
[01:32] <gugu> hi
[01:33] <ajmorris_> mikes1, +add the tuxfamily.org repos from their site :)
[01:33] <mikes1> ajmorris_: stable enough?
[01:34] <sn0> i didnt find it any less stable than beryl, but mileage may vary
[01:34] <ajmorris_> mikes1, i find it is..... ive had no crashes at all.... just dont use the fusion-icon pacakge, its not stable at all.
[01:35] <mikes1> I want to install Ubuntu on my sata along with debian,,Q will Ubuntu see Debian,,Grub?
[01:35] <ajmorris_> mikes1, you use nvidia ?
[01:35] <mikes1> yes
[01:35] <mikes1> Geforce 6200
[01:35] <SummerRain> Who knows how to change filesystem  default codepage ?
[01:36] <ajmorris_> mikes1, there is also something you must add to make it work on nvidia.... a simple     sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24
[01:36] <srojas> f
[01:36] <mikes1> ok
[01:36] <srojas> que pasa
[01:36] <ajmorris_> mikes1, but give it a shot... if it doesnt work straight out,  #compiz-fusion will help you out :)
[01:39] <jpw87> anyone home?
[01:39] <jpw87> oops wrong channel
[01:39] <jpw87> sorry
[01:40] <ajmorris_> where is the config file for su password?..... i get auth failed, and sudo cd doesnt work as it doesnt find the cd command
[01:40] <Oni-Dracula> in update-manager what does it mean when there is an update item (liferea) but it cannot be checked for update?
[01:41] <jpw87> ajmorris_:  "sudo passwd" i think
[01:41] <dalesone> hi hi peoples.   i just did the big more from microsoft, and wanted to scab some help here :D
[01:41] <jpw87> yup
[01:41] <ajmorris_> yep that worked, thanx jpw87
[01:41] <jpw87> do: sudo passwd then you can change it :)
[01:41] <dalesone> i cant find a nvidia driver for the geforce 7950 :|
[01:41] <jpw87> cool
[01:42] <dalesone> im not sure if this is classed as linux x84 or x64
[01:42] <jpw87> dalesone: go to system administration
[01:42] <jpw87> restricted drivers manager
[01:42] <jpw87> :)
[01:42] <Assassin`> ok
[01:42] <Assassin`> :)
[01:43] <Assassin`> dalesone: did you get that?
[01:43] <dalesone> thanks jpw87.   altho when i try enable it is says, Another synaptic is running
[01:44] <Assassin`> then close it :)
[01:44] <Assassin`> are you in a terminal
[01:44] <Assassin`> running a sudo apt-get
[01:44] <Assassin`> or doing an update
[01:44] <Assassin`> ?
[01:44] <Assassin`> or do you have the synaptic open?
[01:44] <dalesone> soz,  im a linux virgin  1st day on it
[01:44] <Costel> how can i add reverse domain to all my IP from LAN with bind?
[01:44] <Assassin`> :)
[01:44] <Zentax> omg my ubuntu software updates are going sooooooo slow.. might be the mirror im downloading off.. going at like <1KB/sec :(
[01:45] <Zentax> 6000B/s :(
[01:45] <Assassin`> Costel: that i don't know :)
[01:45] <dalesone> oh it must be my software updates
[01:45] <Assassin`> yup dalesone
[01:45] <Assassin`> [07:44:20]  <Assassin`> or doing an update
[01:45] <Costel> someone else?
[01:45] <dalesone> thx for the help assassin :P
[01:45] <Assassin`> yup :)
[01:46] <dalesone> and does that auto-update at all?
[01:46] <Assassin`> o yea
[01:46] <dalesone> awesome
[01:46] <stefg> dalesone: right. Note that only one instance of the package manager (although there might be different frontends to it) can run at at once.
[01:46] <Assassin`> its one driver
[01:46] <dalesone> im loving the OS already
[01:46] <Assassin`> haha
[01:46] <Assassin`> windows crashed on me so i switched like 3-4 months ago
[01:46] <stefg> dalesone: wait until you have to fix your first bug :-)
[01:46] <dalesone> just one more question,  can i browse to windows (ntfs) partitions?
[01:46] <Assassin`> i've learned alot
[01:47] <Assassin`> hmm
[01:47] <dalesone> coz all my movies, tv series and mp3's are on my windows partition :S lol
[01:47] <Assassin`> sudo apt-get install gparted
[01:47] <Assassin`> but thats for resizing :/
[01:47] <Assassin`> hold on
[01:48] <Imitation> dalesone: it is possible. ubuntuusers.con can help you with "ntfs-3g"
[01:48] <stefg> dalesone: as long as you only need to read from it, no further action is necessary. to write ntfs there's some extra driver to install.
[01:48] <Assassin`> yea sorry :)
[01:48] <lieter> strange, i uninstalled ubuntu on my laptop for a few other distro's now i install it again, and my /dev/sda is now called /dev/hdc :S
[01:49] <stefg> dalesone: if you plan on dual booting for a time, it might be wiser to put the media stuff to a separate, shared fat32 partition
[01:50] <Assassin`> OR go get a nice gigantic usb drive and transfer :P
[01:50] <stefg> OR go get a nice gigantic usb drive and transfer
[01:50] <dalesone> yeah i need one of those :D
[01:50] <stefg> OR go get a nice gigantic usb drive and transfer and have a backup
[01:50] <Assassin`> :)
[01:50] <Assassin`> i wish i could have afforded one :?
[01:50] <dalesone> well if the OS can run battlefield 2, quake 3 and newer games i wnt need to dual boot,  im sick of windows :D
[01:51] <Assassin`> :/*
[01:51] <lieter> dalesone, it does quake 3 ;)
[01:51] <dalesone> bhaad!   there is a god
[01:51] <Assassin`> linux should run any game! lol
[01:51] <Assassin`> hey dalesone
[01:51] <stefg> dalesone: this very much depneds on how well your graphic card is supported. ATi sx with linux
[01:51] <Assassin`> yup
[01:51] <Assassin`> i have radeon xpress 200
[01:52] <Assassin`> sux bad
[01:52] <Assassin`> but i'm running compiz fusion :)
[01:52] <Imitation> assassin: with xgl?
[01:52] <Assassin`> yes
[01:52] <Assassin`> :)
[01:53] <dalesone> well im hoping my gf7950 is strong enough :D
[01:53] <Assassin`> well fire hurts my screen
[01:53] <Assassin`> :/
[01:53] <Assassin`> O_O
[01:53] <dalesone> i hate ATI    i had one years ago and it blew uo on me
[01:53] <lieter> howcome my realtek 8168B worked fine before and after reinstalling ubuntu it doesnt?
[01:53] <__JW__> so does anyone know if Songbird works well on Ubuntu Feisty / i386?
[01:53] <Assassin`> lol mine is integrated
[01:53] <Assassin`> :P
[01:53] <dalesone> lol   <3 onboard
[01:53] <filthpig> dalesone: Id and Epic develop games for linux (i.e. Doom and Quake), while wine and cedega will run quite a few games too..
[01:53] <Assassin`> __JW__: yes it does
[01:54] <Assassin`> i think you have to go get automatix
[01:54] <Assassin`> from the website
[01:54] <filthpig> although not with a quite as good fps as in native windoze
[01:54] <__JW__> thanks assassin
[01:54] <Assassin`> yw
[01:54] <Surkow> some games even run with more fps
[01:54] <lieter> filthpig, lies, my UT2K4 runs BETTER(20% more fps) on ubuntu then in windows
[01:54] <Surkow> but there will always be glitches
[01:55] <Imitation> filthpig: thats called "naive windows"
[01:55] <filthpig> lieter: through wine or cedega?
[01:55] <lieter> filthpig, native
[01:55] <filthpig> ah
[01:55] <Assassin`> cedega
[01:55] <dalesone> well i was getting 23k/s downloads in windows an hour ago
[01:55] <Assassin`> i havn't heard of that
[01:55] <Assassin`> what is it?
[01:55] <filthpig> well, I said that wne or cedega will run games with lower fps
[01:55] <dalesone> istall ubuntu  500kb/s
[01:55] <lieter> filthpig, thats normal, cause it adds another layer
[01:55] <filthpig> assassin: www.cedega.com
[01:56] <filthpig> windows emulator to run games
[01:56] <Assassin`> dalesone: that depends on download location
[01:56] <filthpig> costs approx $5 pr month
[01:56] <filthpig> wine is free though
[01:56] <japan> open source - shit!!!
[01:56] <japan> open source - shit!!!
[01:56] <japan> open source - shit!!!
[01:56] <japan> open source - shit!!!

[01:56] <filthpig> erh
[01:56] <Surkow> 0_0
[01:56] <Imitation> can someob
[01:57] <Assassin`> i bet it runs steam don't it?
[01:57] <Imitation> bab
[01:57] <filthpig> open source is the shit, that's right
[01:57] <lieter> Assassin`, cedega does steam
[01:57] <PriceChild> !ohmy | filthpig
[01:57] <ubotu> filthpig: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[01:57] <Surkow> maybe japan meant something "open source is the shit"
[01:57] <Surkow> XD
[01:57] <Assassin`> thats why it costs money :P
[01:57] <Assassin`> lolz
[01:57] <filthpig> PriceChild: I know, I know.. Just had to spin it off japan's famous last words
[01:57] <lieter> Assassin`, i had a *cough**cough* version

[01:58] <lieter> PriceChild, i wasnt giving any info, i just said i had one ;)
[01:58] <lieter> sorry if that didnt fit the policy
[01:58] <ssn> hi
[01:58] <filthpig> lieter: that's aka "promoting use of coughcoughs" ;)
[01:58] <KuDeTa> anyone willing to help me to get my ftp server working on ubuntu drapper server
[01:59] <KuDeTa> please :)
[01:59] <lieter> i'll stfu then filthpig
[01:59] <KuDeTa> i think im having issues with 1vp6
[01:59] <ssn> i have a problem with ubuntu studio. my sound isnt working anymore.
[01:59] <stumc> afternoon. what command tells me if i have a package installed? or should i just install if im not sure and it will tell me if its already on my system ?
[01:59] <IceLink> does sourceforge.net work? Somehow, i can't download anything from there using ubuntu
[01:59] <IceLink> ah, now
[01:59] <alleyoopster> stumc: run synaptic and search for your package there
[02:00] <stumc> alleyoopster: i dont have access to gui, just ssh.
[02:00] <alleyoopster> stumc: or try apt-cache show
[02:00] <filthpig> yawn
[02:00] <stumc> thanks
[02:00] <ssn> i put my thinkpad t41p into standby, and now sound isnt working anymore
[02:01] <ssn> nothing is muted
[02:01] <filthpig> so, why won't ubuntu get me online wirelessly..?
[02:01] <ssn> the soundcard is recognized
[02:01] <ssn> but if i play something in mplayer or vlc, i cant hear anything
[02:01] <filthpig> DHCP, wep key is correct, wlan0 is up and finding the network.. but I cant connect.. it connects from winxp :/
[02:01] <filthpig> linksys usb wlan adapter
[02:02] <filthpig> any ideas?
[02:03] <IceLink> can you download from here? http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupname=xampp&filename=xampp-linux-1.6.2.tar.gz&use_mirror=puzzle i can't >.<
[02:03] <__JW__> not sure why your wireless isn't working... but you definitely shouldn't use WEP with wireless... use WPA
[02:03] <aantn> __JW__: ha
[02:03] <aantn> __JW__: good luck setting that up with bcm43xx
[02:03] <filthpig> __JW__: the router is WEP only, and I do not live in a high risk zone ;)
[02:03] <Amaranth> __JW__: I'd like to see you break into my WEP :)
[02:04] <aantn> amaranth: its actually quite easy
[02:04] <Amaranth> aantn: I don't leak weak IVs
[02:04] <aantn> wait one second while I look for something
[02:04] <aantn> amaranth: I haven't done it myself, but its supposed to be quite simple
[02:04] <__JW__> aantn, you may not live in a high risk zone but any risk is too much for me
[02:05] <Amaranth> aantn: Everyone keeps repeating information from 2002
[02:05] <aantn> __JW__: if you can help me set up my wpa then I'd try
[02:05] <aantn> right now I just plugin by ethernet
[02:05] <Amaranth> aantn: Since then hardware has gotten better and you don't get weak IVs nearly as easily
[02:05] <__JW__> i keep mine off unless im using it for something specifically
[02:06] <__JW__> usually a firmware upgrade impliments the new wireless standards
[02:06] <Amaranth> aantn: A guy sniffed a 3 day conference that had a WEP setup (and it was a big conference) and only got 3 weak IVs
[02:06] <Amaranth> you need like 200,000 to get ever started on breaking the password
[02:06] <aantn> you ever hear of kismac?
[02:06] <Amaranth> aantn: Dude
[02:07] <stumc> alleyoopster: apt-cache show did not show any packages at all. any other ideas ?
[02:07] <Amaranth> aantn: I don't care how fancy your sniffing tool is, if I don't leak weak IVs you can't use them to break the password
[02:07] <aantn> 1 sec
[02:07] <filthpig> __JW__: could you help me check out some stuff concerning my network settings and maybe detect the problem? I've tried everything I can think of, but my knowledge of networking (and esp. linuxbased) isn't that great :/
[02:08] <IceLink> does anybody know where i might find my firefox >.<
[02:08] <filthpig> oO
[02:08] <aantn> application->internet->firefox?
[02:08] <filthpig> heh
[02:08] <IceLink> i mean in the file sys
[02:08] <IceLink> i've got two firefoxes
[02:08] <KuDeTa> hiya everyone
[02:09] <KuDeTa> i have a proftpd setup
[02:09] <IceLink> and i want to delete one and put the other there instead
[02:09] <KuDeTa> its configured correctly i thik
[02:09] <KuDeTa> and started
[02:09] <__JW__> filthpig: im very new to the linux operating system. setting up your router would be easy enough but as for the linux settings themself, i have yet to even mess with it on my end for wireless
[02:09] <kakado> IceLink: type which firefox
[02:09] <KuDeTa> but when i try to connect i get connection refused

[02:09] <IceLink> <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:09] <KuDeTa> sry
[02:09] <IceLink> i wanna find this one
[02:09] <filthpig> __JW__: The router is dhcp and working
[02:10] <filthpig> (I'm using it right now from my laptop, using PCLOS)
[02:10] <KuDeTa> ok, i have proftpd setup (im on drapper server) with a guide. its al configured correctly i think, and i started it, but i still can't connect to it
[02:10] <filthpig> so the problem is with ubuntu
[02:10] <Amaranth> IceLink: System->Preferences->Main Menu
[02:10] <filthpig> perhaps the wlan0 driver
[02:11] <Amaranth> IceLink: instead of deleting the system's firefox and breaking your desktop just point the firefox menu item to your new install
[02:11] <__JW__> perhaps... did you check your wlan0 settings to make sure its set to assign an ip via dhcp?
[02:11] <linux_probe> proftpd by default uses port 21 and ports 1025 to 65535 for passive connections
[02:11] <bionoid> KuDeTa: Can't connect to it - using an ftp client or attempting a tcp connection to port 21? ie if you can't get response on telnet, it most likely didn't start for whatever reason
[02:11] <IceLink> Amaranth, i don'z know how to do that
[02:11] <raf256> hello
[02:11] <raf256> is ubuntu useless for any real job?
[02:11] <filthpig> __JW__: yep.. probably about a thousand times :/
[02:11] <bobsomebody> hey, i know syslogd starts on ubuntu by default, but how can i throw the -r switch to it at start up without a shell script or something like that?
[02:11] <raf256> it fails to boot on a pc (7.04 desktop x86)
[02:11] <Amaranth> IceLink: Using System->Preferences->Main Menu
[02:11] <bionoid> KuDeTa: Is it on LAN or is the server connected to the internet?
[02:11] <raf256> doesnt see sata
[02:11] <stefg> !boot raf256
[02:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about boot raf256 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:11] <aantn> amaranth: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/technology/6595703.stm
[02:11] <Amaranth> bobsomebody: edit the init.d script that starts it
[02:12] <stefg> !boot | raf256
[02:12] <ubotu> raf256: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[02:12] <aantn> proof
[02:12] <shukran5> AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
[02:12] <aantn> and some videos how to: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1021256519470427962&q=hacking
[02:12] <KuDeTa> bionoid: its a remote server connected to the internet with no firewall
[02:12] <ccooke> raf256: what are you trying to boot it on?
[02:12] <aantn> http://www.shawnhogan.com/2006/08/how-to-crack-128-bit-wireless-networks.html
[02:12] <filthpig> Ah, when I try to ping the router from terminal I get "sendmsg: Operation not permitted"
[02:12] <ccooke> raf256: it may be that your system has a new SATA controller Ubuntu doesn't know about yet
[02:12] <Amaranth> aantn: Their technique still requires weak IVs to be leaked to them
[02:12] <Amaranth> aantn: let
[02:12] <aantn> http://docs.lucidinteractive.ca/index.php/Cracking_WEP_and_WPA_Wireless_Networks
[02:13] <__JW__> filthpig: i would do some test's with my wireless lappy, but right now it keeps shutting off when it starts to get hot (either a fan problem or a memory problem) and that is the only system I have that is wireless enabled. my other two desktops are wired
[02:13] <ccooke> raf256: or it may be that an option on an existing controller will do the job
[02:13] <Amaranth> aantn: let's go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:13] <aantn> two minutes?
[02:13] <bobsomebody> Amaranth, i tried that earlier and it didnt work
[02:13] <bionoid> KuDeTa: Ok, first things first, ssh to the server and type: telnet localhost 21   - if that gives you "connection refused" immediately, your proftpd is not running. If it connects but no response, you might want to verify that DNS is configured properly
[02:13] <aantn> Amaranth: I would... but I'm actually supposed to be working on a commercial php project
[02:13] <shukran5> hello.  i have started to install Feisty Fawn.  not a great user but trying to get into it.  Now the install has hung at 82%.  Should I reboot?
[02:13] <bobsomebody> Amaranth, let me open the file,
[02:13] <Amaranth> aantn: Then stop arguing with me about it, we're interrupting the channel
[02:14] <shukran5> then i retried and it stuck again at 82%
[02:14] <aantn> amaranth: fine
[02:14] <shukran5> now i have partitioon issues
[02:14] <KuDeTa> bionoid: its drops immediately
[02:14] <Amaranth> aantn: Unless you've written one of those tools to break into a WEP network you don't have room to talk :)
[02:14] <KuDeTa> no connection
[02:14] <KuDeTa> bionoid: what should i do?
[02:14] <bionoid> KuDeTa: Ok, then type: ps auxww|grep proftp   - see if the process is up and running
[02:15] <KuDeTa> yup
[02:15] <KuDeTa> bionoid: root     18990  0.0  0.1   2876   796 pts/0    S+   14:15   0:00 grep proftp
[02:15] <bionoid> KuDeTa: Exactly, so its not running. (That process is merely the "grep" you just executed, _not_ the actual server)
[02:15] <stefg> !verify | shukran5
[02:15] <ubotu> shukran5: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[02:16] <bionoid> KuDeTa: Try /etc/init.d/proftpd start
[02:16] <KuDeTa> ohh
[02:16] <IceLink> thanks, i've got my firefox
[02:16] <KuDeTa> bionoid: done
[02:16] <KuDeTa> still no connection
[02:17] <aliasxerog> i need help with widescreen
[02:17] <Wicketman> Is this the right channel to ask hardware specific questions ?
[02:17] <bionoid> KuDeTa: So its a configuration problem, then. I don't have proftpd on my boxes so cant test it - but usually you will find some clues by doing: tail -n 20 /var/log/messages
[02:17] <bionoid> KuDeTa: Also check /var/log/ directory and see if it has some specific proftpd logs (ie a directory or file(s) named proftpd*)
[02:17] <stefg> Wicketman: only if they relate to ubuntu compatibility
[02:17] <Surkow> @kudeta - I use proftpd, what is your problem?
[02:17] <ralph> AMD64 7.04 install lock-ups at 5%.  Bug #123732 raised.  No feedback yet.  Keen to make further attempts.  Would like a pointer as to what to try or what data to gather.  Thanks.
[02:18] <KuDeTa> surkow: i start the server, but i can't connect
[02:18] <shukran5> !verify
[02:18] <ubotu> To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[02:18] <KuDeTa> bionoid:thanks very much
[02:18] <Surkow> you forwarded active and passive ports in your router KuDeTa ?
[02:18] <filthpig> yaaargh
[02:18] <KuDeTa> surkow: its no behind a router
[02:19] <KuDeTa> not*
[02:19] <Surkow> hmm
[02:19] <bionoid> Surkow: He cant connect from localhost, I bet it's a configuration error. Is there a way to dry-run startup and report errors in configuration with proftpd?
[02:19] <Surkow> what happens when you type...ah
[02:19] <Surkow> I just wanted to suggest it bionoid
[02:19] <Surkow> maybe KuDeTa should install gproftpd
[02:19] <KuDeTa> no gui
[02:19] <KuDeTa> :S
[02:20] <KuDeTa> its a remote server
[02:20] <Surkow> it's a gui with information just like in the command line
[02:20] <Surkow> ah
[02:20] <KuDeTa> ah ok
[02:20] <__JW__> My NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver is located in the 'Restricted Drivers' window under 'System->Administration->Restricted Drivers'. I have it activated so I can get the appropriate screen resolution but will this cause any issues? If it does, is there a replacement driver for it that is supported by Ubuntu? Otherwise, the highest resolution I can get is 800x600 which really sucks.
[02:20] <KuDeTa> oh well no
[02:20] <Wicketman> I use a tablet at 1024x768 is there an easy way to get a higher resolution on an external monitor ?
[02:20] <Surkow> well...then that won't work.
[02:20] <dalesone> back :P
[02:20] <xenex> Does anyone know why firestarter is giving me this error? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28475/
[02:20] <dalesone> updates done, driver enabled :D
[02:20] <Dark> hello
[02:20] <KuDeTa> surkow: mind if i pm? its pretty busy in here
[02:21] <dalesone> does the OS support widescreen res ? 1440 x 900?
[02:21] <bionoid> xenex: type "xhost +" in a terminal and try again
[02:21] <Surkow> sure KuDeTa
[02:21] <Dark> can anyone tell me how to remove the sda1 icon from the desktop?
[02:21] <Surkow> @__JW__ - you can manually change the driver back if anything goes wrong
[02:21] <Wicketman> dalesone : it does
[02:22] <Dark> can anyone tell me how to remove the sda1 icon from the desktop?
[02:22] <__JW__> true... i just didn't know if it would screw with my ubuntu installation to the point of a necessary re-installation
[02:22] <fisons_> Dark, umount sda1
[02:22] <Surkow> @dark - gconf-editor and go to nautilus options
[02:22] <Dark> but i need it mounted
[02:22] <jrib> Dark: do you want to get rid of all mounted stuff on your desktop or just sda1?
[02:22] <Dark> i just dont need the icon
[02:23] <Dark> i like seeing the mounted cd, but not the mounted sda1
[02:23] <jrib> Dark: don't mount sda1 to /media
[02:23] <Dark> how can i change it?
[02:23] <shukran5> i had used the verify command at the start of the disk.  it says it is scanning the mirror.  i wonder did it
[02:23] <shukran5> lose connection to the mirror
[02:23] <JimQode> I installed ubuntu to a friend. He's having a problem with network not starting connected on bootup. He needs to connect every time he boots. What may be the problem?
[02:23] <fisons_> Dark, edit /etc/fstab
[02:23] <xenex> bionoid, thanks :)
[02:23] <Dark> k i will look
[02:24] <jrib> !fstab > Dark (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:24] <fisons_> !fstab
[02:24] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[02:24] <Dark> thanks
[02:25] <Dark> so anything under /media is show on desktop?
[02:25] <stefg> JimQode: if he doesn't need network-manager i'd recommand to uninstall that, along with avahi-daemon.
[02:25] <jrib> Dark: yes, I think so.  Unless you disable all of those icons in gconf
[02:25] <JimQode> stefg, He kind of is used to them. Why should it behave this way?
[02:26] <Dark> this is the line
[02:26] <Dark> UUID=CA9C48AB9C4893BB /media/sda1     ntfs    defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0       1
[02:26] <Dark> i just put /mnt/win in place of /media/sda1
[02:26] <fisons_> Dark, sounds good
[02:26] <Dark> will that be ok?
[02:26] <Dark> or do i need to unmount before i do anything?
[02:26] <jrib> Dark: yes, just create /mnt/win
[02:26] <dalesone> wow   i can automaticly see my ntfs partition,   i take it all my installed games on there are useless as .exe files dont work on linux
[02:26] <stefg> JimQode: network manager and avahi-daemon are both quite buggy, and known to sometimes break working connections
[02:27] <Dark> so i will jsut change it without unmounting
[02:27] <Dark> kk
[02:27] <jrib> Dark: you need to remount it for the cahnges to take affect
[02:27] <JimQode> stefg, will it break ubuntu network setting manager?
[02:27] <fisons_> Dark, maybe you should umount it before
[02:27] <Dark> ok i will unmount it
[02:27] <Dark> i can do it from the desktop, right/
[02:27] <fisons_> Dark, umount before editing fstab, then "mount /mnt/win"
[02:28] <stefg> JimQode: no, indeed it will allow network settings to function again the good old fashioned way (TM)
[02:28] <JimQode> stefg, oh ok then :) i'll try that
[02:30] <Skaag> can I somehow tell openoffice that comes with my ubuntu to anti-alias the lines in drawings I make?
[02:30] <Skaag> is this at all related to the operating system, or is it a thing specific to openoffice alone?
[02:31] <Dark> it worked great
[02:31] <Dark> only one problem
[02:31] <dalesone> hey, where do i find xor.conf ?  i need to modify it so i can run 1440x900 reso
[02:31] <filthpig>  /j #openoffice
[02:31] <filthpig> hm
[02:31] <Dark> if i go to places, computer, i cant see the win partition
[02:31] <stefg> Skaag: this is related to openoffice interacting with xorg. so it's partly ubuntu, partly openoffice related
[02:31] <flyinprogramer> hey guys, how do you install emerald in ubuntu ?
[02:32] <stefg> !beryl | flyinprogramer
[02:32] <ubotu> flyinprogramer: beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[02:32] <Dark> is there a way to add a device to computer?
[02:32] <stefg> plug it in?
[02:32] <jrib> Dark: add a bookmark in nautilus
[02:32] <Dark> not exactly what i want
[02:32] <jrib> !fixres > dalesone (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:33] <jrib> Dark: that will add "win" to places
[02:33] <Dark> jrib: if i go to places, computer i used to see the win partition, but i changed the mount position, now i cant see it anymore
[02:33] <fisons_> !fixres
[02:33] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[02:33] <dalesone> thanks jrib
[02:34] <KuDeTa> anybody very experienced with proftpd please? i could really do with some help. i can't connect even thoough there is no router
[02:34] <stefg> Dark: only things mounted in /media get represented in the Computer view
[02:34] <Dark> stefg: no way to fix that?
[02:34] <salvo>  italianoo questo canale?
[02:34] <jrib> !it | salvo
[02:34] <ubotu> salvo: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[02:34] <stefg> Dark: there's nothing to fix, it's a design decision
[02:35] <Dark> ok
[02:35] <Dark> so not bypassable?
[02:35] <user_> 3malang
[02:35] <aboyousif> what is the package that hold "ddcprobe" ?
[02:35] <user_> #malang
[02:35] <jrib> !find ddcprobe
[02:35] <ubotu> File ddcprobe found in xresprobe
[02:35] <aboyousif> jrib, thanks
[02:35] <salvo> tank you
[02:35] <stefg> Dark: so if you want it to appear in Computer, you'll have to mount it to /media/win or something alike
[02:35] <jrib> aboyousif: you can use packages.ubuntu.com or apt-file locally too
[02:36] <tommy_> can someone help, i get that "busybox" error
[02:36] <`4aFkA`> I need a program for ubuntu to write JavaScript programs and applets.. but it needs to have debuger!!??
[02:36] <aboyousif> jrib, the search on packages didn't find it
[02:36] <jrib> aboyousif: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=ddcprobe&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=feisty&arch=i386
[02:36] <Dark> stefg: but if i do so i will get it on the desktop aswell
[02:36] <jrib> aboyousif: you need to "search contents of packages" at the bottom
[02:36] <stefg> tommy_: so the box doesn't boot? Do get somthing like rootfs not found?
[02:37] <aboyousif> jrib, aha .. thanks
[02:37] <Skaag> stefg: sorry about the delayed response, yes, I just found a bug report for this with many votes (more then 130) on the openoffice feature request list, so it is being taken care of slowly. Until then I export to PDF and it looks just great when in PDF format.
[02:37] <`4aFkA`> I need a program for ubuntu to write JavaScript programs and applets.. but it needs to have debuger!!??
[02:37] <stefg> Dark: if you enable 'show volumes on desktop' in Gnome, yes. That's the way gnome is designed
[02:38] <Dark> ah
[02:38] <Dark> and where can i disable that?
[02:38] <erUSUL> `4aFkA`: install firefox with venkman http://www.mozilla.org/projects/venkman/ ('sudo apt-get install mozilla-venkman')
[02:38] <erUSUL> `4aFkA`: for editting just choose and editor...
[02:38] <`4aFkA`> erUSUL thnx!
[02:39] <tommy_> stefg: i get this "tty:job control turned off" or something like that, then the live cd (feisty) just freezes
[02:39] <jrib> !icons > Dark (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:39] <stefg> Dark: alt-f2, enter gconf-editor, goto apps-nautilus-desktop, uncheck volumes_visible
[02:40] <Dark> stefg: but doing so i wont see cd/dvd or floppy either
[02:40] <tommy_> I get this error on feisty live cd ""Busyboy v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-3ubuntu2) Built in shell (ash)
[02:41] <tommy_> bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off" any ideas how to fix it?
[02:41] <stefg> tommy_: you can try to boot with acpi-off, but looks like you have to wait for a working kernel
[02:42] <stefg> Dark: that is the way gnome is designed
[02:42] <Dark> ok
[02:42] <Omnius> i have downloaded FBreader and installed it, i have created a launcher for it which is currently on my quick start bar,  how do i put it in the Applications menu?
[02:42] <stefg> once again
[02:42] <tommy_> stefg: i was afraid you'd say that, i though that kernel(2.6.20) can just never work on my computer. Sad thing is, gutsy does the same thing so i might be waiting a long time.
[02:42] <Dark> in kde i could do it i thing....choose wat device to show on desktop
[02:43] <stefg> tommy_: or get a second hand box with a compatible chipset to have fun with that while you wait... P4's got cheap on ebay
[02:45] <Dark> well, i'm set with ubuntu
[02:45] <Dark> i wanted to thanks you all for support
[02:45] <fuzzy_logic> hi peeps
[02:45] <Omnius> how do i put stuff in the Applications menu?
[02:45] <Dark> really helpful community
[02:45] <tommy_> stefg: im scared because all distros are moving to 2.6.20+, do you think they will fix my problem. Or will i be left using old version distros forever.
[02:45] <stefg> tommy_: so try debian etch... it's running 2.6.18 iirc, and spares all the fancy experimantal upstart and libata stuff out
[02:45] <Dark> ciao ciao
[02:45] <dalesone> hmmm
[02:46] <dalesone> is there a way to make you xorg.conf file not Read only?
[02:46] <dalesone> i need to edit it but cant save changes over the old stuff
[02:46] <gordonjcp> dalesone: it isn't read only
[02:46] <madduck> i just installed feisty on a new R60 and it all seems to work fine except for s2ram. if i resume, the screen is black, it's lit, but X does not show. also, the machine gets no IP address it seems. I cannot SSH into it or continue an SSH session from before the suspend. any idea what i should do to make s2ram work? s2disk works alright.
[02:46] <gordonjcp> dalesone: you're doing it wrong ;-)
[02:46] <dalesone> it wont let me change it
[02:46] <gordonjcp> !sudo > dalesone
[02:46] <gordonjcp> !sudo | dalesone
[02:46] <ubotu> dalesone: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[02:46] <stefg> tommy_: and what i read the kernel hackers are aware that 2.6.20 and .21 were substandard... check back when gutsy is released, will run 2.6.22 then
[02:47] <tommy_> stefg: so theres still hope. :) thanks
[02:47] <dalesone> thanx
[02:47] <kuja> I'm trying to compile a snapshot of gtkpod in Ubuntu with MP4/AAC support, but the configure script keeps telling me that it will not build with MP4/AAC support... I have mpeg4ip installed... and symlinked all of its shared objects from /usr/local/lib into /usr/lib as well, just in case.
[02:47] <dalesone> more reading *yay*
[02:47] <dalesone> haha
[02:47] <kuja> The reason I am trying to compile gtkpod is because in a version not yet packaged in the Ubuntu repository there is a feature that I want.
[02:48] <stefg> !build
[02:48] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[02:49] <fackamato> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2960847#post2960847
[02:49] <IceLink> if i chmod a dir and use -R, will all files included be like the dir?
[02:49] <kuja> Well, I know how to compile software :)
[02:50] <jrib> IceLink: yes, but that's rarely needed and if you do it on a system directory, you will likely end up with a broken box
[02:50] <madduck> IceLink: yes, unless you use X
[02:50] <kuja> I guess a more well-formed question would be:  Has anyone ever compiled a gtkpod snapshot with mp4/aac support?
[02:50] <IceLink> okay thanks, it's just an imagine dir
[02:50] <IceLink> *image
[02:51] <Omnius> how do i add stuff to the applications menu?
[02:51] <kuja> Maybe the version of mpeg4ip I compiled isn't compatible with the version of gtkpod I am trying to configure, or something else... I've no idea :)
[02:52] <IceLink> how is the command to change a group
[02:52] <kuja> IceLink: Change group of a file?
[02:52] <IceLink> yeah kuja
[02:52] <kuja> man chown
[02:52] <IceLink> i thought chown was the owner...
[02:52] <kuja> That will allow you to change user and/or group of a file or directory.
[02:53] <kuja> IceLink: You can use chown to change the group as well.
[02:53] <IceLink> how do i quit a manpage >.<
[02:53] <dalesone> so witht he sudo commant, i go to my terminal and just type !sudo
[02:53] <kuja> IceLink: q
[02:53] <dalesone> and it asks for a pw? and then its done
[02:53] <stefg> kuja: are you sure you have all build-deps installed?
[02:54] <kuja> stefg: I manually downloaded every component from the respective websites and compiled them myself.
[02:54] <kuja> stefg: libgpod, mpeg4ip and gtkpod have all been compiled by hand.
[02:54] <Smotang> How do I find my mac address?
[02:55] <neil_feisty> Smotang, ifconfig eth0
[02:55] <Omnius> System->Preferences->Main menu
[02:55] <stefg> kuja: usually you need a bunch of *-dev packages on the build system. sudo apt-get build-dep gtkpod ?
[02:55] <Omnius> cheers
[02:55] <IceLink> thanks kuja, got it
[02:55] <kuja> stefg: Basically, I'm trying to get working in gtkpod what the gtkpod-aac package does for Ubuntu's gtkpod package.
[02:55] <kuja> stefg: I'll try that.
[02:56] <Smotang> I tried ifconfig but did not see the mac addr, thanks I see it now. I feel newbie :)
[02:56] <kuja> stefg: Nope, it just finishes.. that means all the dependencies have been built, right?
[02:56] <Smotang> 00:0C:6E:96:00:BD
[02:56] <stefg> kuja: yup
[02:56] <Smotang> eek
[02:56] <Smotang> wrong place sorri
[02:56] <kuja> stefg: Currently for gnomevfs, libcurl and HAL support in gtkpod, I've downloaded the *-dev packages which the configure script thankfully recognizes just fine.
[02:57] <kuja> The problem is mp4v2 support.
[02:57] <kuja> I obviously have the correct package AND my OWN compiled version of it installed, yet it fails to use neither.
