[14:07] <Yaroze> why isnt my nfs mounted drives showing up in nautilus? anyone happen to know?
[14:07] <EnvoyRising> knowbot: anyways, doesn't it usually install to applications > sounds & video > vlc?
[14:07] <archangelpetro> Kutag1, i can just re-enable 'custom' to use compiz again, right?
[14:07] <knowbot> ok tanx EnvoyRising going to tray
[14:07] <EnvoyRising> Yaroze: open up command line and type fdisk -l
[14:07] <zulerdongle> no one know how to get wifi to work in ubunut 7.04 with a rt73 chipset?
[14:07] <zulerdongle> hi everyone. Im just having some trouble getting my wifi to work in ubuntu. I have guts 7.10 on my desktop and my dwl-g122 rev. C1 (rt73 chipset) works fine. All i have to do is select my wifi network on the top right corner of my screen and put my password and it connects just fine. However on my laptop which has ubuntu 7.04, when i do the same thing it tries to connect but never does. Anyone have any idea as to what could be the problem and how to
[14:07] <zulerdongle>  fix it? Thanks in advance im desperate to get wifi on my laptop since I can only keep it connected with an ethernet cable while its on the floor..
[14:07] <Kutag1> Archangel, yeah but you might need to enable some settings
[14:07] <Yaroze> EnvoyRising: nfs drives.. network mounted
[14:08] <FreezeS> hi ppl
[14:08] <FlorisNL> wu47345: I understand. But the strange thing is, this server has two Intel NIC's. I installed the newest e1000 module and have loaded it. Now, since the reboot, I'm not able to connect on the external IP (which did work). Internal IP still works (though seems to be slow).
[14:08] <malocite> has anyone had a problem with ubuntu 7.1 slowing down?
[14:08] <wu47345> zulerdongle: the rt73 driver included in ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10 does not work with wpa_supplicant
[14:08] <EnvoyRising> Yaroze: oh shoot, i read as nfts or whatever windows' alternative to fat32 was..oops :P
[14:08] <Kutag1> Malocite, not yet.... Try googling?
[14:08] <FreezeS> is there a known bug in hardy where only one core is seen in /proc/cpuinfo ? (I have an athlon 64x2)
[14:08] <archangelpetro> ty also bazhang2
[14:08] <wu47345> FlorisNL: hmm, no idea
[14:08] <FlorisNL> wu47345: Strange, huh. Anyway, thanks for the help so far.
[14:08] <bazhang2> archangelpetro,  just alt f2 compiz --replace to go back

[14:09] <EnvoyRising> Yaroze: good to know. learn something new every day, even when you don't need it XD
[14:09] <bazhang2> any easy way to switch between channels using xchat other than clicking tab or window?
[14:10] <malocite> Kutag1: All I seem to find are various blogs of people talking about their systems getting slower and slower, and I talked to my internet tech support, and that guy uses ubuntu and has had the same problem.
[14:10] <mykorrhiza> hello I have a strange problem. I can only get X to start in recovery mode otherwise it just freezes and i have to restart. In recovery mode however X works perfect. Can anyone help me?

[14:10] <lex> bazhang2: alt + up or down?
[14:10] <wu47345> zulerdongle: the newer driver (rt73usb) is included in kernel 2.6.24
[14:10] <malocite> kutagl: He says he re-installs every 3 months and that solves the problem... but that seems a little excessive to fix a problem like that
[14:10] <Kutag1> Malocite, did you read the WHOLE topic?
[14:10] <Enselic> When I pass the -fs (fontsize) flag to xterm it doesn'tmatter what I pass, 1 or 30, the font size is still the same. Has anyone figured out how to change font size in xterm when launching it?
[14:11] <Lettuc3> i've got a phone connected via a usb cable, how do i find out what that usb cable is called under /dev ?
[14:11] <Nuba1> hi there, I have been using vmware for virtualisation till now, but I've noticed there are lots of other options, can someone recommend the best option?
[14:11] <malocite> kutagl: didn't see that one, I googled slowdown not slowing down, that'll do it.. .I'll read it, Id rather not reformat and reinstall just for that :)
[14:11] <Nuba1> lettuc lsusb
[14:11] <brobostigon> Lettuc3: dmesg
[14:11] <hischild> Nuba1, depends on what you want to do with it
[14:11] <Nuba1> just run XP virtualised
[14:11] <Kutag1> Malocite, dont worry ;)
[14:11] <Lettuc3> Nuba1 that lists the devices, not the device names under /dev. virtualbox comes highly recommended apparently.
[14:11] <zulerdongle> wu47345: thanks but how do i get that driver
[14:11] <Lettuc3> brobostigon thanks.
[14:12] <Nuba1> I run a ltsp network, some users want/need XP sometimes
[14:12] <wu47345> zulerdongle: you cannot run that driver with kernel 2.6.20
[14:12] <cadefy_> anyone know a quick way to install wine?
[14:12] <ignostic> cadefy_: apt-get install wine
[14:12] <hischild> cadefy, add their repo first ;-)
[14:13] <brobostigon> cadefy_: sudo apt-get install wine
[14:13] <hischild> www.winehq.com
[14:13] <cadefy_> add the repo??
[14:13] <wu47345> zulerdongle: ubuntu 7.04 has kernel 2.6.20, so if you want kernel 2.6.24 you have to compile it yourself
[14:13] <cadefy_> ta ignostic
[14:13] <prince_jammys> !wine
[14:13] <ubotu> WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.

[14:13] <mykorrhiza> hello I have a strange problem. I can only get X to start in recovery mode otherwise it just freezes and i have to restart. In recovery mode however X works perfect. Can anyone help me?
[14:13] <Nuba1> its in the multiverse or partner repo
[14:13] <EnvoyRising_> i hate irc sometimes
[14:13] <Nuba1> dont need to add it
[14:13] <cadefy_> k
[14:13] <Kutag1> It will tell you you how to install it properly
[14:13] <cadefy_> ta
[14:13] <EnvoyRising_> 씨발! there, now i can scream profanities and not offend anyone :P
[14:13] <cadefy_> when i install wine
[14:13] <Kutag1> You need a custom repository to download it from
[14:13] <cadefy_> i can play Company of Heroes right?
[14:14] <Kutag1> Cadefy, you *could*
[14:14] <hischild> EnvoyRising, come now, be nice, this isn't windows we're talking about ;-)
[14:14] <Kutag1> No gurantees
[14:14] <Nuba1> so virtualbox is relatively easy to install?
[14:14] <zulerdongle> wu47345 ok so where can i get the source to compile it
[14:14] <prince_jammys> !appDB | cadefy_
[14:14] <cadefy_> could?
[14:14] <ubotu> cadefy_: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org
[14:14] <brobostigon> !appdb | cadefy_
[14:14] <cadefy_> then what the fuck is the point in linux?
[14:14] <cadefy_> lol
[14:14] <hischild> Nuba1, sudo apt-get install virtualbox
[14:14] <Kutag1> Cadefy, proper languages please
[14:14] <cadefy_> tell me why i should use ubuntu instead of vista
[14:14] <Nuba1> i'm not asking how to install
[14:14] <cadefy_> lol
[14:14] <knowbot> EnvoyRising: i have find the excutebole with the "which" comand file but i like to cage the webserver interfase, in m$ windows i can find those files in the programfiles dir, and i have no id how to find them in linux
[14:14] <Nuba1> I'm asking how it compares to vmware
[14:15] <Kutag1> And Linux isn't a gamer platform yet. But it is more stable and windows is just crap :P
[14:15] <wu47345> zulerdongle: caution, compiling the kernel is not a newbie thing. http://www.kernel.org/
[14:15] <hischild> Nuba1, that's how easy it is to install it :-)
[14:15] <EnvoyRising_> cadefy_: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=4506
[14:15] <cadefy_> thanks
[14:15] <Nuba1> yeah, and managing the images, etc?
[14:15] <prince_jammys> how nice
[14:15] <zulerdongle> wu47345 thanks, i think im just going to install some other drivers i know
[14:15] <EnvoyRising_> cadefy_: also, we could care less if you use ubuntu or not.. thank goodness for freedom of choice, eh?
[14:16] <wu47345> zulerdongle: other drivers for rt73?
[14:16] <Nuba1> also, can I use vmware images in virtualbox?
[14:16] <Nuba1> or do I need to recreate images?
[14:16] <zulerdongle> wu47345 yeah some enhanced drivers for wep cracking
[14:16] <cadefy_> so quickly how can i do a check of how much mem is in this pc?
[14:16] <Kutag1> and Cadefy, 1 more thing: In Windows, you can get virusses etc... In Linux, you need Wine to get virusses :P
[14:16] <cadefy_> well
[14:16] <wu47345> zulerdongle: oh, that one
[14:16] <cadefy_> ive had vista for a year and a half, not 1 virus yet
[14:16] <zulerdongle> wu47345 http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/
[14:16] <cadefy_> just uninstalled my antivirus for taking up memory, have no need for it
[14:17] <wu47345> zulerdongle: you will not be able to use wpa_supplicant then
[14:17] <cadefy_> viruses seem extinct for me on vista
[14:17] <prince_jammys> why did you install ubuntu?
[14:17] <EnvoyRising_> Kutag1: TECHNICALLY you can get viruses in linux too :\ probability though, next to none
[14:17] <Nuba1> wow, cadefy, you are intellegent
[14:17] <Kutag1> EnvoyRising, and what kind of virusses could possible damage the system?
[14:17] <cadefy_> what
[14:17] <ignostic> cadefy_: you should use whatever you want to use, but you should probably try all the options you can so you know what you like. linux happens to be free to try, so it can't hurt.
[14:17] <Kutag1> The only virus I know is a stupid user :P
[14:17] <LjL> !language > cadefy_    (cadefy_, see the private message from Ubotu)

[14:17] <cadefy_> private message?
[14:17] <zulerdongle> wu47345 meaning i have to set my router to wep? well for now i will do that then ill just update to 7.10
[14:17] <brobostigon> taking the anti virus out of windows is stupid, its far too risky
[14:17] <cadefy_> how do i do that in irssi lol
[14:18] <EnvoyRising_> Kutag1: the question wasn't the potential threat of a virus to a system, but the existence there of :P
[14:18] <tsmithe> cadefy_, this channel isn't here to persuade you to use ubuntu. if you don't want to, don't, but please, whatever you do, don't waste time that others could be using to fix their problems (ie getting support in this channel)
[14:18] <prince_jammys> !irssi > cadefy
[14:18] <prince_jammys> :)
[14:18] <ignostic> EnvoyRising_: There aren't any linux viruses in the wild, and the few that have been have not been of much consequence.
[14:18] <Kutag1> EnvoyRising yeh youre right..... still, I love to debate :P
[14:18] <LjL> !language | cadefy_

[14:18] <LjL> !offtopic | cadefy_

[14:18] <Nuba1> so... can I use vmware images in virtualbox?
[14:18] <Nuba1> or must I create new ones?
[14:19] <wu47345> zulerdongle: 7.10 still has the old driver because it uses kernel 2.6.22, the new one (rt73usb) is only present in 2.6.24 and above
[14:19] <bazhang2> Nuba1, nay
[14:19] <EnvoyRising_> ignostic: do i need to stress again that i wasn't arguing the pervasiveness or potential threat of said viruses but rather the historic existence of said viruses?
[14:19] <Nuba1> so I'm stuck with vmware then
 ~/ComixCursors-sources-0.5.0 % xinit -display :1       [0]
[14:19] <Cap_J_L_Picard> X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting.
[14:19] <Cap_J_L_Picard> Any ideas?
[14:19] <ignostic> EnvoyRising_: No, no. I was just being a pedant.
[14:19] <tsmithe> Nuba1, you can use vmware's vmdk images in virtualbox
[14:19] <mykorrhiza> hello  I can only get X to start in recovery mode otherwise it just freezes and i have to restart. In recovery mode however X works perfect. Can anyone help me?
[14:19] <cadefy> ah thanks
[14:19] <EnvoyRising_> ignostic: i see. well no need, i myself am of the linux > windows camp anyways. games or not
[14:20] <cadefy> mirc is so much easier
[14:20] <cadefy> :P
[14:20] <cadefy> click on the pm
[14:20] <Nuba1> tsmithe, u're sure?
[14:20] <Kutag1> By the way, I got some issues with the nautilus FTP transfers, just as I have in Windows. It can't support large FTP transfers for some reason as it seems that it gets stuck while in the middle of the FTP transfer
[14:20] <Kutag1> However, I never got that problem with emFTP in windows, a FTP client
[14:20] <tsmithe> Nuba1, yes. or at least, it lets me.
[14:20] <Kutag1> Do you guys have a recommendation for this problem?
[14:20] <Nuba1> just asking cause the other user said no
[14:20] <EnvoyRising_> hey all where is the kick the troll button?
[14:20] <Nuba1> I'll try it, doesn't hurt to apt-get it
[14:20] <Lettuc3> Nuba1 i'm sure you can use vmware images with virtualbox. in passthrough mode only or something. google it.
[14:21] <floating> anyone know whats the wrong with this : rhea (vnaatane)350% find . -name har*
[14:21] <floating> find: bad option harj1.1a
[14:21] <floating> find: path-list predicate-list
[14:21] <Kutag1> Envoyrising, it is located under "ban yourself"
[14:21] <cadefy> in ubuntu do i install wine from a 'package 'source' or 'git' tree?
[14:21] <tsmithe> Nuba1, i don't know what version of vbox the other user is using. i'm using virtualbox-ose from the ubuntu development version.
[14:21] <ignostic> mykorrihiza: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg might do the trick. otherwise, we'll probably need you to pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[14:21] <Nuba1> yeah well, I'm on hardy alpha 5
[14:21] <Nuba1> so should be same

[14:23] <Alpine> anyone to paste a link to some bluetooth usage guide for gutsy gibon? Can not make it work , tried everything i found on the net. thanky

[14:24] <cadefy> but with ubuntu do i download wine with a 'package' ?
[14:24] <Nuba1> in fact, the reason photoshop works so well under wine is because hollywood funded it

[14:26] <gwork> Hi. When i log into ubuntu  (7.10, fully updated) my gnome session starts and shows desktop icons, top panel, buttom panel, some if not all desktop icons for a second or so. Next, it's only the background (again, also for a few seconds) and then everything pops up again and functions perfectly.  Any idea how to get rid of this?
[14:26] <hischild> Hoarde, you can run dpkg-reconfigure xorg and select the correct resolutions. It should all be on the correct settings (it was for me, feel free to correct me on this one)
[14:26] <EnvoyRising_> cadefy: the package is generally a well tested "stable" version. git servers offer bleeding edge that while *could* be stable, and just not made it into main stream, are generally too new to be stable
[14:26] <cadefy> thank you very much EnvoyRising

[14:30] <CorruptTerrorist> oh... i have to pay for xchat?
[14:30] <Alpine> never actually figured out why
[14:31] <hischild> CorruptTerrorist, why would you pay for it?
[14:31] <CorruptTerrorist> windows
[14:31] <bazhang2> CorruptTerrorist,  no; why would you think that?
[14:31] <CorruptTerrorist> http://xchat.org/windows/#register
[14:31] <flaccid> Alpine: yeah, ive experienced it way too much. its certainly major ubuntu bugs. where to start? just install pc-bsd and say bye bye to issues?
[14:31] <Ubuntu1> hi ive just updated my awn now i got no preferences manager
[14:31] <EnvoyRising> wb frold, more issues?
[14:32] <flaccid> i just rebooted this notebook after no changes to system, and bam the problem is here, kernel for sure as per logs. but hey this aint even got a cdrom to reinstall with
[14:32] <frold> Not yet EnvoyRising just a reboot
[14:33] <Alpine> in my case nothing i tried helped. I remember i stopped using ubuntu for some time, i ran win only. Later on i bought my current PC and gave it a try. It works great now. And yes - it's probably some kind of bug, cause noone was able to help me when i asked the same question
[14:33] <EnvoyRising> frold: oh ok
[14:33] <kreker> go #Parkur
[14:34] <flaccid> Alpine yep and its happened on 4 PCs. 2 were friends all totally dif hardware. ubuntu would be fine if i didn't have to deal with the bugs. its truly a buggy distro
[14:34] <kreker> [17:33:44] <kreker> go #Parkur
[14:34] <kreker> [17:33:44] <kreker> go #Parkur

[14:36] <flaccid> im a web developer, i just want to work when i turn my put on. i just don't want to work on windows nor buy mac hardware
[14:37] <flaccid> Alpine: not your fault. its ubuntu's fault
[14:37] <cyberfin> ok I've pasted my fstab here: http://rafb.net/p/aYaouS72.html ; can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong cause I get "[mntent]: line 10 in /etc/fstab is bad" and "[mntent]: line 12 in /etc/fstab is bad" everytime I try "sudo mount -a"
[14:37] <Alpine> Well im a graphical designer and would love a mac, but they are too expensive... I hate win, therefore ubuntu's my choice.
[14:38] <Ubuntu1> is there any news on a new ubuntu being released
[14:38] <Alpine> unfortunately i still need win alot, as adobe's there...

[14:40] <limin> hello

[14:44] <bjwebb> where can i find the rational for why a package is in multiverse?

[14:45] <|tbb|> hi all, got a problem a friend burns a svcd for me with k3b, but i cant play it on my ubuntu feisty, i can read the content (only the directory structure), but nothing else. any idea whats wrong?
[14:45] <ubotu> Package/file synegery does not exist in gutsy
[14:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about synergy - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[14:45] <Dr_willis> just dont get confused by sshing to the other machine and running it. :) that dident work..
[14:45] <faileas> !find synergy
[14:45] <ubotu> Found: quicksynergy, synergy
[14:45] <bjwebb> bullgard4: the software im refering to is cmus and it is gpl'd
[14:45] <sinbox> thanks prince_jammys I'll try that, shame foobar is for windows only
[14:46] <ignostic> bullgard4: I'm not sure why that person chose the term "software bus". D-Bus is used for inter-process communication.
[14:46] <limin> you can search in the google
[14:46] <|tbb|> btw, on a xpbox or something the cd is fully readable
[14:46] <flaccid> looks like problem is related to stupid UUID implementation
[14:47] <prince_jammys> sinbox: there's several out there.  one of them should suit you.  i haven't done that sort of thing in a long  time, since my windows days ...
[14:47] <flaccid> how can i get rid of that in gutsy?
[14:47] <lucasvo> hi
[14:47] <bullgard4> ignostic: Well, there are a few other people that choose that term also, mainly in the realm of D-Bus.
[14:48] <lucasvo> I bought a laptop without CD drive, is there any way, I can install ubuntu from an usb stick?
[14:48] <bardyr> lucasvo, yea but its a little hassle
[14:48] <lee__> lucasva ...errr..yeah..
[14:48] <brobostigon> !install | lucasvo
[14:48] <ubotu> lucasvo: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[14:49] <ignostic> bullgard4: hmm. I'm not familiar enough with D-Bus to know why. IPC is sortave akin to what a "hardware" bus does...
[14:50] <|tbb|> anyone had similar problems like i?
[14:50] <brobostigon> i use enlightenment ontop of ubutnu, how to i make gkrellm and fbpanel autostart when i loginto enlightenment??
[14:50] <flaccid> looks like for the 7th time ubuntu has screwed itself without my assistance. must be time to switch to a stable distro
[14:50] <speedo_> hi everybody
[14:50] <frold> anyone using a php-editing tool? Im searching one that let you edit files on your webserver.... I ealier used DreamWeaver and looking for an alternative to that one...
[14:50] <faileas> flaccid: o0
[14:51] <brobostigon> flaccid: ubuntu is stable in my experience
[14:51] <speedo_> i can't active visual effect...it tells he cant active composite
[14:51] <Nuba1> dreamweaver works perfectly with wine or crossover
[14:51] <RingTailedFox> Nuba1 is crosover free?
[14:51] <brobostigon> no
[14:52] <speedo_> i've got an ATIx600 on my laptop
[14:52] <RingTailedFox> brobostigon what wine alternatives are free?
[14:52] <_Andrew> flaccid, Sorry to hear that, Ubuntu is stable for me, it must be either something you're doing or perhaps some strange hardware config
[14:52] <Nuba1> nope, but it works with wine too
[14:52] <speedo_> any trick?
[14:52] <brobostigon> RingTailedFox: only wine, or emulation
[14:52] <RingTailedFox> brobostigon i heard some alternatives are not free but their source is. true?
[14:52] <Nuba1> both photoshop and dreamweaver have worked perfectly for me for at least a year
[14:53] <Nuba1> but u must use older versions, dreamweaver 8 or mx and photoshop 7
[14:53] <RingTailedFox> brobostigon i heard some alternatives are not free but their source is. you have to compile it to use. true?
[14:53] <brobostigon> RingTailedFox: no idea??
[14:53] <RingTailedFox> k
[14:53] <Nuba1> no crossover is not open source
[14:53] <Nuba1> but their wine implementation is identical
[14:54] <flaccid> brobostigon: i didn't realise we shared the same experiences and variables, i apologise, we must be one.
[14:54] <PhilcoBill> How do I configure Ubuntu to allow more than one user at a time to log onto the Ubuntu box with a desktop?
[14:54] <Nuba1> ie, when u install crossover u install wine
[14:54] <limin> I think the dreamweaver cs3 is good
[14:54] <Nuba1> except with crossover u get some nice gui extras for controlling the bottles, etc

[14:55] <faileas> speedo_: what 3d card?
[14:55] <ignostic> PhilcoBill: You could have them log on with ssh -X, and then they would have a command line that they could run graphical programs from.

[14:57] <Harald> hi folks
[14:57] <ignostic> PhilcoBill: It is, I'm not very experienced with doing such things - that's just one solution off the top of my head that's probably not that great.
[14:57] <speedo_> it has installed restricte driver by itself
[14:57] <monkeyBox> (fyi, I know wireless-b is slower, but when I say my performance blows, I mean, it blows even for wireless-b)

[15:09] <jarrwood> does anyone in here use skype?
[15:09] <NoirFluo> jarrwood : Use Gizmo
[15:09] <NoirFluo> or Xmpp
[15:09] <NoirFluo> :D
[15:09] <Hoarde> when I select the right resolution for the monitor (1680x1050) Ubuntu makes it 1680x1050 but keeps the screen resolution to 1400x1050 or some garbage (ie desktop expands past the screen)
[15:09] <ompaul> CorruptTerrorist, only ask here or +1 as appropriate and the best way to do that is to use a torrent to fix that you give some it checksums your disk and away you go
[15:10] <faileas> jarrwood: used to
[15:10] <bullgard4> blogcrawler: If your Volume Control applet is visible yet then right-click on it. A context menu will open. Select there the 'Help' item.
[15:10] <jarrwood> well i have a cousin on skype can i use those and talk to him
[15:10] <Andycasss> how to grep a command?
[15:10] <faileas> jarrwood: no, but you can install skype, it works
[15:10] <faileas> Andycasss: command | grep foo
[15:10] <prince_jammys> Andycasss: what do you want to do?
[15:10] <NoirFluo> jarrwood yes, you can install it on Ubuntu
[15:10] <jarrwood> i tried that it said that the libsound2 is not satisfiable
[15:10] <CorruptTerrorist> ompaul,  how can i give utorrent checksums?
[15:10] <artti> prince_jammys, libmp3lame-dev couldn't find, but i installed liblame0. Now i finded it. Thanks. I messed with a hour.
[15:11] <ompaul> CorruptTerrorist, torrent works on the basis that all is checksummed
[15:11] <faileas> CorruptTerrorist: the checksums are in the torrent.. what do you want to do?
[15:11] <faileas> fix a partial download with a torrent?
[15:11] <_Adam_> I have a question, I currently run SUSE 10.3, can i install ubuntu without losing to much data?
[15:11] <Andycasss> faileas: thanks
[15:11] <ompaul> faileas, tjhat was my suggestion
[15:11] <faileas> _Adam_: pretty much non
[15:12] <faileas> CorruptTerrorist: stop the download, force recheck
[15:12] <bullgard4> Andycasss: You grep the output of a command, not the command itself. Add as a suffic to the command in a command line "| grep <search string>" (without the " of course).
[15:12] <ignostic> _Adam_: if your data that you want saved is on a seperate partition from / , then yes.
[15:12] <ompaul> _Adam_, save your /home/adam directory in a tarball and then have fun
[15:12] <CorruptTerrorist> faileas, i'm downloading the iso as it's fater that the torrent. since it is the same file... can i just shove it where the torrent iso is and it repair it?
[15:12] <_Adam_> so i can save /home then?
[15:12] <ompaul> _Adam_, back it up
[15:12] <faileas> _Adam_ , ignostic: or have seperate partitions
[15:12] <bullgard4> Andycasss: suffic > suffix
[15:12] <faileas> CorruptTerrorist: i think i've down it before
[15:13] <blogcrawler> how can I reinstall volume control popup? it is corrupted
[15:13] <ompaul> CorruptTerrorist, yes you can, that was my initial suggestion, it was why I made that suggestion
[15:13] <Andycasss> bullgard4: thank you - faileas already answered that but not in such detail :)

[15:16] <luichi> i have a floopy drive

[15:17] <luichi> bootstrap?
[15:17] <bullgard4> blogcrawler: Please expand 'OSD'.

[15:18] <P2502> (20:16:27) P2502: similiar to how it does in windows, showing message
[15:19] <ignostic> mykorrhiza: I can't tell what's going on from that paste. Is that from when you do it from recovery mode? All I can tell is that it tries to load metacity because something else fails.
[15:19] <amenado> P2502-> how does window visualizes it?
[15:19] <prince_jammys> P2502: probably ping -v (just a guess)
[15:20] <luichi> ok i've seen how to do it
[15:20] <luichi> now i will try
[15:20] <WebGuest> can somone help me? o would like to know if theres a better kernel for me, and if yes, how to install it

[15:20] <mykorrhiza> no thats not from recovery mode
[15:20] <ignostic> p2502: look over "man ping" and see if any of those options do what you want it to.
[15:21] <WebGuest> can somone help me? i would like to know if theres a better kernel for me, and if yes, how to install it
[15:21] <P2502>  ignostic: did it, cant find it
[15:21] <P2502> thats why i ask

[15:21] <ignostic> p2502: oh, ok. just making sure =).
[15:21] <HorizonXP> hey, my openoffice programs don't open when I run them from the Applications menu; I have to run 'openoffice' from the command line. any help?

[15:22] <P2502> ompaul: i know but i want to see missed packets in real time
[15:22] <USN1520> blogcrawler, do you mean the applet?
[15:22] <blogcrawler> no, OSD
[15:22] <ompaul> P2502,  ping -i 1 host
[15:22] <frold> anyone runnung aptana?
[15:22] <blogcrawler> USN1520: no, OSD
[15:23] <ompaul> P2502, it should be good enough =
[15:23] <USN1520> blogcrawler, not sure then
[15:23] <P2502> ompaul: no difference
[15:23] <HorizonXP> hey, my openoffice programs don't open when I run them from the Applications menu; I have to run 'openoffice' from the command line. any help?
[15:23] <prince_jammys> P2502: did you try ping -v
[15:23] <mykorrhiza> isnt it strange that the ati driver just works in recovery mode
[15:24] <HorizonXP> also, my dvd burner seems to have stopped working
[15:24] <USN1520> blogcrawler, any chance you could tell me how to access profile directory and the trash in the terminal?
[15:24] <anonA1> Webspot why not just do "sudo apt-get update"
[15:24] <P2502> prince_jammys: yes, no difference
[15:24] <Jonathan_L> HorizonXP: Tried modyfying the entries in the menu?
[15:24] <HorizonXP> Jonathan_L: no I haven't; they worked before, haven't touched them
[15:24] <luichi> i have to do this no?
[15:24] <luichi>  If all else fails, or if you only have access to floppies, then first, download the Debian minimal-install floppies. Then, install Debian. Once installed, download the UNetbootin deb package using wget $unetbootin.deb, install it using dpkg -i $unetbootin.deb, then once done, reboot, and select UNetbootin in the GRUB menu.
[15:24] <blogcrawler> USN1520: what do u mean with profile dir? home?
[15:25] <Webspot> anonA1: I think you just referenced the wrong nick
[15:25] <USN1520> yes my user files
[15:25] <HorizonXP> Jonathan_L: basically, 'oocalc', 'oowrite', etc, don't work, but 'openoffice' does work
[15:25] <anonA1> Webspot yeah i did ;)
[15:25] <Jonathan_L> HorizonXP: You could try modifying them to make them work again by setting the terminal commands
[15:25] <blogcrawler> USN1520: simply type "cd ~/" and press enter
[15:25] <anonA1> Webspot but hey, that's good advice to anyone :)
[15:25] <luichi> i can't donwload  Debian minimal-install floppies
[15:25] <Webspot> anonA1: Yup :)
[15:25] <luichi> ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-i386/current/images/floppy/
[15:25] <luichi> the link dosen't work
[15:25] <HorizonXP> Jonathan_L: that the only way to fix this?
[15:26] <USN1520> thanks , how about the trash I have some root locked files in there?
[15:26] <Joeb454> blogcrawler, to change to the home directory you can actually just type "cd" (no quotes)
[15:26] <gangadjinn> anyone know how to implement a script code into nautilus... found something I wanna try for mounting images with a rightclick
[15:26] <luichi> now it works :d
[15:26] <mohbana> what colours does ubuntu use the hex code?
[15:26] <Jonathan_L> HorizonXP: So you can't *just* start Writer? Do you have to start the main openoffice app and create/open files from there?
[15:26] <HorizonXP> Jonathan_L: exactly
[15:26] <Jonathan_L> Thne that might not work
[15:26] <HorizonXP> Jonathan_L: running oowriter from the command line gives me this:
[15:26] <prince_jammys> HorizonXP: try killing any existing openoffice processes
[15:27] <blogcrawler> USN1520: trash location is different for each partition. go to /.trash on each of them

[15:27] <Jonathan_L> prince_jammys: He can open the main OpenOffice app
[15:27] <hikenboot> greetings anyone know how to regenerate xdg-desktop-menu-dummy.men mine seems to be corrupt do to / being mounted readonly for some unknown reason fsck shows no problems
[15:27] <USN1520> blogcrawler, thanks again

[15:29] <frold> ¡aptana | frold
[15:29] <luichi> thank you so much hikenboot

[15:30] <osotogari> hi im looking for a little help with my xorg.conf file please. ubuntu wont display at a resolution i wasnt it to
[15:30] <amenado> blogcrawler-> i dont know it myself, but I would guess if you launch gconf-editor within those sub-menus its there
[15:30] <blogcrawler> USN1520: eg. "cd ~/.Trash"
[15:30] <anonA1> HorizonXP most AMD64 users like it though ;)
[15:31] <HorizonXP> anonA1: lol, to get the shaft? hahhaa
[15:31] <hikenboot> luichi, your welcome
[15:31] <HorizonXP> anonA1: I have loved ubuntu amd64 so far for sure, definitely better than windows x64 :P
[15:31] <fungos> is there any known problem with hitachi notebook harddisk with linux?
[15:31] <Jonathan_L> HorizonXP: I have AMD Turion 64 X2 with 32-bit OS. Haven't tried OpenOffice in Ubuntu yet.
[15:31] <blogcrawler> amenado: thank. I'll give it a try
[15:31] <osotogari> how do i find out what graphics card i have installed?
[15:32] <amenado> blogcrawler-> there is the volume_manager submenu there..maybe underneath it
[15:32] <anonA1> HorizonXP yeah, was just a little joke to ease your pain :)
[15:32] <gopp> hey any know why I can not use num lock or scroll lock to switch screen
[15:32] <ignostic> ostogari: scroll through "lspci -v | less"
[15:32] <HorizonXP> Jonathan_l:, I have a Core 2 Duo T5300, and 64-bit OS
[15:32] <gangadjinn> osotogari, check the dmesg??
[15:32] <prince_jammys> HorizonXP: might have to do with your theme
[15:32] <KindOne> anyone know a free ubuntu program that wipes hard drives by writing junk data and deleting it like a million times ?
[15:32] <HorizonXP> Jonathan_l:, you won't see it unless you have the 64bit version of ubuntu
[15:32] <amenado> osotogari-> or maybe you try  udevinfo  and your video stuff may be listed
[15:32] <USN1520> blogcrawler, I feel like a newb but it is not working
[15:32] <HorizonXP> prince_jammys: explain please
[15:33] <bazhang> !info shred
[15:33] <ubotu> Package shred does not exist in gutsy
[15:33] <prince_jammys> HorizonXP: your icon theme or window theme
[15:33] <Bruum> Hello. can someone help me with partition? im gone install a fresh ubuntu, and windows on my pc! got 2 hd, 320 eatch!.. what size should i make etc. plz msg :)
[15:33] <gopp> !kvm
[15:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kvm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[15:33] <osotogari> dmesg?
[15:33] <ignostic> !dmesg | ostogari
[15:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dmesg - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[15:33] <prince_jammys> HorizonXP: that's just a guess. you could test it by trying different themes from Preferences->Appearance and see what happens
[15:34] <amenado> Bruum-> try 20 gig for /   2gig for swap  and the remainder for /home or any other /partition you wish
[15:34] <anonA1> KindOne i would use DBAN http://dban.sourceforge.net/
[15:34] <luichi> if i do ls in a dictory it shows me that i have the file boot.img
[15:34] <luichi> and if i do
[15:34] <luichi> sudo dd if=whatever.img of=/dev/fd0
[15:34] <gangadjinn> osotogari, terminal sudo dmesg | grep AGP could reveal your video
[15:34] <anonA1> KindOne takes a while, but it's probably the most effective way to make *sure* no one can retrieve your data
[15:34] <luichi> sorry
[15:34] <blogcrawler> amenado: I found that but it doesn't have any settings for OSD
[15:34] <luichi> sudo dd if=boo.img of=/dev/fd0
[15:34] <luichi> sorry xd
[15:34] <luichi> sudo dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0
[15:34] <KindOne> anonA1, Thanks
[15:34] <gangadjinn> but there are really 100 wqys of doing it
[15:34] <ignostic> ostogari: dmesg prints the kernel ring buffer, which is mainly messages about hardware and such, including things like device names.
[15:34] <blogcrawler> USN1520: maybe u don't have any file in ur trash
[15:35] <anonA1> KindOne remember, it'll take a while (sometimes over an hour)
[15:35] <amenado> blogcrawler-> well you can right click and it allows you to set a new Key and value pair
[15:35] <hischild> luichi, try to get it all on one line :-) there are a lot of messages between yours :-)
[15:35] <luichi> it says that it dosen't exists the file or the dictory
[15:35] <luichi> ok sorry
[15:35] <anonA1> KindOne but believe me, all that data is history, pappy!

[15:40] <anonA1> luichi /media/floppy
[15:41] <Maimster> amenado: Should be a piece of cake though.
[15:41] <anonA1> luichi or somewhere like that in /media
[15:41] <luichi> if i go there there is nothing
[15:41] <amenado> Maimster-> that will be fun..make sure you test your backups..
[15:41] <lex> l
[15:41] <gopp> is there anything else beside ebox as a gui admin tool in ubuntu

[15:41] <lex> luichi if something is mounted it will show in "sudo gedit /etc/mtab"
[15:41] <anonA1> luichi do a "sudo mount"

[15:42] <luichi> i think
[15:42] <luichi> because when i entered there my floopy drive made some noise
[15:42] <bazhang> gangadjinn: iso of what? distro or other
[15:42] <anonA1> luichi well mount will tell all ... check all the entries if you need to

[15:45] <flaccid> ive been working on trying to fix this grub bug for hours now: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-550887.html there is no solution and it perpetuates between ubuntu distros. i've experienced it up to 6 times myself on dif machines. please help its a bit ridiculous
[15:45] <Mohero_> after hunting Google the answer appeard to be to uninstall and re-install MailScanner...
[15:45] <Mohero_> which gave me  Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal.
[15:45] <amenado> Bruum by default it will only have / and a portion for swap ...so if anything happens to your / you can not easily separate you /home where you normally keep your good data
[15:46] <anonA1> luichi of course that's assuming 2 things; your floppy is mounted as fd0, and the image name is boot.img .. adjust to your needs
[15:46] <malsyned_> Seveas: thanks
[15:46] <luichi> if i do sudo mount i get this: http://pastebin.com/m5e143688
[15:46] <Mohero_> it also won't let me re-install - so any idea's at this point would be great
[15:46] <Kitar|st> http://wiresmash.com/funny/the-real-life-pacman-the-movie/,
[15:46] <amenado> flaccis can you summarize a bit of what went wrong?
[15:46] <luichi> so it's mounted on /media/disk-1 no?
[15:46] <malsyned_> Seveas: What apps use the indexes beagle and tracker produce?
[15:46] <Bruum> understand, easies way to make the /home map then?
[15:46] <Bruum> i havent installed it yet
[15:46] <anonA1> luichi you have to UNMOUNT it and the command is "umount"
[15:46] <VanGlorious> Anyone tell me how I can integrate a URL into my desktop picture
[15:47] <flaccid> amenado just read the post its all there
[15:47] <Seveas> malsyned_, beagle/tracker plugins in nautilus and maybe other apps
[15:47] <flaccid> i did not change anything system wise
[15:47] <dimas> Loading TkCximage failed. This module is need to run aMSN. Please compile aMSN first, instructions on how to compile are located in the file Install. this first happened after amsn uodate from 0.95 to 0.97 i searched in google and many others have same problem, but i don't know how to solve it as i am new in ubuntu 7.10 . i tried to unistal amsn and install again but didn't work. please explain exactly what i should do. i don't know how to compile...
[15:47] <anonA1> luichi yes it is mounted on /media/disk-1 ... you have to do the commands I said earlier
[15:47] <luichi> ok i've done sudo umount /media/disk-1
[15:47] <malsyned_> Seveas: thanks
[15:47] <Seveas> dimas, you should simply apt-get install amsn -- no need for compiling
[15:47] <amenado> flaccid you can at least give a summary...rather than directing us to just read..its a courtesy
[15:47] <rickyricci> anybody in here using xchat-gnome?
[15:47] <anonA1> luichi understand? "sudo dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0" .. where boot.img is the image
[15:47] <maksvlad> hi all
[15:48] <bazhang> Bruum: the advantage to having a seperate /home partition is that if something goes wrong or if you want to do a fresh install of the next version of ubuntu then your personal files will be left untouched; if you are new to ubuntu though you may just want to do the guided partition
[15:48] <luichi> ye yes
[15:48] <anonA1> luichi ok :)
[15:48] <flaccid> a summary would take about 5 paragraphs, is that ok?
[15:48] <brobostigon> i have to start fbpanel and gkrellm manually when i loginto enlightenement ntop of ubuntu, how can i make it autostart those on login??and is there something better than fbpanel, that doesnt need a flashy gpu??
[15:48] <CorruptTerrorist> hey... people on #ununtu+1 are no help... can you help?
[15:48] <amenado> flaccid its okay, sometimes we know it is frustrating, but..we its nice to bounce ideas sometimes
[15:48] <anonA1> luichi you'll hear some sounds, no doubt :)
[15:48] <encrypt3d> I am running ubuntu 7.10, and have installed the non-free flash plugin which seems to be working.  However, the problem seems to be that some flash movies play quicker than others.  Does anyone have any suggestions to this problem?  I have uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted, completely removed and reinstalled all with no fix.
[15:49] <flaccid> bouncing ideas doesn't fix problems :p
[15:49] <amenado> flaccid-> i meant it is okay for you to give us a bit of summary
[15:49] <Anja_> who all is here - is mage_ here?
[15:49] <Anja_> or ka2?
[15:49] <Anja_> or pelo?
[15:49] <anonA1> encrypt3d heh, one thing you have to live with is flaky flash player :(
[15:49] <dimas> seveas, it saids amsn is in his most recent version
[15:49] <bazhang> CorruptTerrorist: if you are not ready for breakage you should not be using Hardy--the channel for that is #ubuntu+1
[15:50] <Seveas> dimas, cool, then start it from the menu under applications -> internet
[15:50] <flaccid> i have the correct grub settings and yet im directed to a busy box shell saying incorrect boot= arg . what is the fix
[15:50] <flaccid> thats a pretty quick summary....
[15:50] <CorruptTerrorist> it's just that #ununtu+1 is useless
[15:50] <Bruum> now i have made . sdb1 ext3 10gb, sdb2 sweap and sdb3 rest with name home... thats right ???
[15:50] <dimas> seveas it saids the same
[15:50] <Mohero_> bazhang: having someone in #ubuntu+1 to answer questions would be useful
[15:50] <toogreen_> hello there
[15:50] <CorruptTerrorist> *ubuntu
[15:50] <Mohero_> I'm with Corrupt Terrorist on this one
[15:50] <anonA1> luichi so what happened?
[15:50] <encrypt3d> anonA1 boo!  hmm, it seemed before that it was working, but perhaps after an update it borked the settings.  Thanks for the reply
[15:50] <anonA1> luichi i'm all interested
[15:50] <toogreen_> I'm having a bit of trouble with grub and need help
[15:50] <amenado> flaccid how often it happens? new install? how old are you  disk?  anything unique on your system?
[15:50] <bazhang> mohero well I am useless but will join ;]
[15:51] <Mohero_> I've posted my problem in #ubuntu+1 no answer now in here, no answer.....
[15:51] <CorruptTerrorist> 205 users in the chan... none of which will help
[15:51] <toogreen_> i just installed ubuntu on my Eeepc, from a usb disk, to the memory card
[15:51] <databridge> how do i change the apache servername?
[15:51] <toogreen_> but when i installed Grub, i chose advanced, and typed hd1 instead of hd2
[15:51] <Gibb> How can I tell what my color setting is set to? Either 16, 24, or 32 bit in ubuntu? Its not on the normal resolution screens
[15:51] <amenado> !patience | CorruptTerrorist Mohero_
[15:51] <ubotu> CorruptTerrorist Mohero_: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[15:51] <Seveas> CorruptTerrorist, if noone knows the answer, noone can help you. Whining in here sure doesn't help
[15:51] <luichi> yes it's working!
[15:51] <luichi> :d
[15:52] <dimas> seveas amsn said i need to compile still
[15:52] <eth01> databridge, #apache
[15:52] <Seveas> databridge, look in /etc/apache2/sites-available/*default
[15:52] <anonA1> CorruptTerrorist what's the problem?
[15:52] <anonA1> luichi hot diggity dawg!!!
[15:52] <toogreen_> i need to move my current installation of grub from hd1 to hd2
[15:52] <databridge> Seveas: i put the name in there but doesn`t work
[15:52] <luichi> lol
[15:52] <flaccid> amenado: all the time now, not a new install, brand new disk. not sure what you mean by unique. i have not changed anything and am experienced linux person. so what is your diagnosis from that?
[15:52] <Seveas> dimas, then amsn is broken, try with a clean profile (move ~/.amsn out of the way)
[15:52] <CorruptTerrorist> !talktopeopleratherthanjustusingabot | amenado
[15:52] <anonA1> heh
[15:52] <toogreen_> anyone can help?
[15:52] <luichi> thanks anonA1
[15:52] <aurum> Is there a way to make your terminal go verbose after you've already started a command?
[15:52] <Seveas> databridge, did you reload apache after doing that?
[15:52] <databridge> yes
[15:52] <anonA1> hmm, I was actually going to help him too :)
[15:53] <EnvoyRising> hischild: cube/ saurbraten engine is an interesting concept btw
[15:53] <dimas> seveas how that come if i just unistalled and reinstall from synaptic?
[15:53] <Bruum> bazhang : is thise correct : sdb1 ex3 10gb, sdb2 swap 1gb, sdb3 ext3 /home 300gb ??
[15:53] <Freewith> Hi. My system makes a system bell sound 5 or 6 times everytime I get to the logon screen or issue a shutdown. Anyone know what's wrong?
[15:53] <lex> he'll come back anonA1
[15:53] <amenado> flaccid at first i suspect you may have a disk going bad on you, if it happens often enuff, assuming you said your parameters are okay and it booted previously
[15:53] <Seveas> dimas, no idea really
[15:53] <Seveas> dimas, I don't use amsn myself, find it too ugly :)
[15:53] <rwild> So, Just a quick question... I am attempting to install the realtime kernel via synaptic, it has been sitting just about halfway through the install for a few hours.  Is this normal?
[15:53] <luichi> anonA1
[15:53] <osotogari> ubuntu detects my resolution @ 75Hz is setting ok? If not how can I change it to 60Hz?
[15:53] <Mohero_> amenado: I know everyone's volunteers, and I've answered in here too, and in Ubuntu+1 - but i'm starting to get annoyed because I report bugs which still have status "new" I ask my questions in both channels and don't get an answer.
[15:54] <Seveas> rwild, no
[15:54] <amenado> Bruum-> plenty enuff
[15:54] <anonA1> aurum depending on the command an argument like -v usually does the trick. Maybe do a man on the particular command
[15:54] <hischild> EnvoyRising, cube / saurbraten?
[15:54] <dimas> seveas would you walk me through to remove it from the terminal?
[15:54] <rwild> Hm... Seveas, any idea of why that may be?
[15:54] <luichi> what is the first floopy i've to put to my laptop to run  Debian minimal-install floppies??
[15:54] <Andycasss> Im using -p 15500 16500 argument on my pureftpd but it doesnt seem to have any effect, my client still wants to connect to some random ports (~50000-~58000). What could be wrong?
[15:54] <anonA1> Seveas i agree with the amsn ugliness .. what do you use?
[15:54] <luichi> ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-i386/current/images/floppy/
[15:54] <flaccid> here is many more people with the same problem that happens only on ubuntu : http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-laptop-and-handheld-25/gutsys-kernel-wont-boot-608918/
[15:54] <Seveas> dimas, mv ~/.amsn ~/.amsn-old
[15:54] <amenado> Mohero_-> didnt you see the response from Seveas? if no one knows, you can not squeeze blood from a rock!
[15:54] <anonA1> luichi that I don't know
[15:54] <Seveas> dimas, that should do it :)
[15:54] <luichi> ok
[15:54] <luichi> i think it will be boot.img
[15:54] <Seveas> anonA1, gaim
[15:54] <brobostigon>  i have to start fbpanel and gkrellm manually when i loginto enlightenement ntop of ubuntu, how can i make it autostart those on login??and is there something better than fbpanel, that doesnt need a flashy gpu??
[15:55] <EnvoyRising> hischild: its a os fps in the style of quake/urt assaultcube is the counterstrike-esque mod
[15:55] <Seveas> anonA1, pidgin ofcourse now*
[15:55] <anonA1> Seveas ah same here . cheers
[15:55] <EnvoyRising> or total conversion rather
[15:55] <neufeind> hi
[15:55] <lex> has anyone in here gotten their X-fi working in 32-bit?
[15:55] <osotogari> ubuntu detects my resolution @ 75Hz is setting ok? If not how can I change it to 60Hz?
[15:55] <anonA1> neufeind ask away pappy!
[15:55] <hischild> EnvoyRising, ah .. sounds nice but i never checked it out so far
[15:55] <steel_lady> hello, I have a short question, I just want to check... I bought the external disk od 500G. I need to use it for windows and linux both. can it be formated to fat32?
[15:55] <neufeind> is there a way to install a Ubuntu-domU using virt-install as a net-install?
[15:55] <dimas> seveas and then?
[15:55] <anonA1> steel_lady yep
[15:55] <Seveas> steel_lady, you need fat32 or ntfs to use it in both, so yes :)
[15:56] <lex> osotogari: as long as the picture looks fine, 75hz is fine
[15:56] <Seveas> dimas, try starting amsn again
[15:56] <amenado> flaccid and the errors seems to be present at aroun same spot all the time? have you done fsck of your disk lately?
[15:56] <EnvoyRising> hischild: checked out any linux games yet? in general we're lacking, but as for fps's, we're pretty well off
[15:56] <bazhang> Bruum: that is what the guided partitioner gave you?
[15:56] <steel_lady> anonA1, Seveas, they tell me it is too big for FAT32?
[15:56] <hischild> EnvoyRising, i've seen a few around yeah, but i haven't like really searched for them
[15:56] <Bruum> now bazhang : made it manual
[15:56] <anonA1> steel_lady ah, didn't read the 500GB part ... you can use NTFS
[15:56] <anonA1> !ntfs-3g
[15:56] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[15:57] <brobostigon>  i have to start fbpanel and gkrellm manually when i loginto enlightenement ntop of ubuntu, how can i make it autostart those on login??and is there something better than fbpanel, that doesnt need a flashy gpu
[15:57] <lex> steel_lady: yes, but single file size will be limited to 2gb; although linux with ntfs-3g can write to ntfs
[15:57] <Seveas> steel_lady, hmm, I thought it could handle that but yeah, ntfs is a better choice anyway
[15:57] <Pawka> sveiki
[15:57] <Bruum> bazhang : Wasent it right?
[15:57] <rwild> steel_lady, there is a windows prgram out there that will allow you to format a 500 gig FAT32... just google it
[15:57] <osotogari> @ lex: there is some small ghosting but nothing really noticeable
[15:57] <dimas> seveas it said the same tkcximage module failed , so you need to compile amsn
[15:57] <malsyned_> I have a 500GB drive formatted as fat32 and it's always worked fine.
[15:57] <CorruptTerrorist> anyone gonna be mature instead of kicking? or shall i just go sit in the corner?
[15:57] <flaccid> amenado: yes i have. the disk is clean.
[15:57] <Seveas> dimas, very strange...
[15:57] <anonA1> steel_lady or just use the ntfs-3g driver .. i've had no problems with it for quite a while
[15:57] <malsyned_> It came from Seagate formatted that way
[15:57] <anonA1> CorruptTerrorist ask your question
[15:57] <lex> osotogari: then you can change the resolution in System -> Admin -> screen and display settings
[15:57] <anonA1> CorruptTerrorist now
[15:58] <flaccid> amenado: anything else. if you google you will see dozens of people with this problem.
[15:58] <amenado> brobostigon-> can you not put that in one of those S under /etc/init.d  using invoke-rc.d ?
[15:58] <Seveas> dimas, sadly, I'm now out of clues. You might need to file a bug
[15:58] <CorruptTerrorist> no point, as it is a wubi problem
[15:58] <steel_lady> wait so in general you recomend me to use that disk with NTFS anyway? what if I want to work in linux and store it to that disk?
[15:58] <Seveas> CorruptTerrorist, you won't be kicked if you behave. No whining or botabuse
[15:58] <abadtooth> Has Ubuntu 8.04 alpha4 been released yet?
[15:58] <dimas> seveas thank you very much for the help, i may do so
[15:58] <osotogari> @ lex: Oh I know, however it only displays 75 Hz for my monitor and gives no other options in the dropdown box
[15:58] <CorruptTerrorist> how was that bot abuse?
[15:58] <anonA1> steel_lady yes. There used to be problems with using NTFS, but for me, it seems to have been solved
[15:58] <amenado> flaccid-> but you said it was working before with no problems, and it just suddenly started to appear more recently?
[15:58] <lex> steel_lady: if you mount ntfs using the utility ntfs-3g, there isn't a problem
[15:59] <erle-> is it possible to boot ubuntu in readonly mode?
[15:59] <anonA1> !ntfs-3g|steel-lady
[15:59] <ubotu> steel-lady: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[15:59] <brobostigon> amenado: isnt there a file /home/user ,
[15:59] <anonA1> ^^
[15:59] <steel_lady> AnonA1, I have feisty and I can not update to gutsy, will it be ok?
[15:59] <flaccid> amenado: ah yes. which is the same behaviour reported on about 30 forum posts by dif people
[15:59] <lex> osotogari: is the monitor model set to "generic"?
[15:59] <djr> My sound does not work after a reboot. Ive not changed kernel, tampered with config files or such. Modules seems loaded (atleast by looking at output of lsmod). Device can however not be found. Any tips?
[15:59] <flaccid> amenado its cool that you can't help
[15:59] <abadtooth> steel_lady: can you DL the alt CD and use it top upgrade?
[15:59] <mindoverflow> hi
[15:59] <osotogari> @ lex: its set to monitor 1280x1024
[15:59] <amenado> brobostigon->  there is that dir, but not sure which of the subdirs there would be use to hide configs for the apps you were using
[15:59] <Andycasss> Im using -p 15500 16500 argument on my pureftpd but it doesnt seem to have any effect, my client still wants to connect to some random ports (~50000-~58000). What could be wrong?
[16:00] <mindoverflow> i got a problem starting the live cd
[16:00] <mindoverflow> i have 2 hard disks
[16:00] <mindoverflow> and i think it's due to that
[16:00] <anonA1> steel_lady I am not 100% sure. Someone will know. I don't *think* there will be a problem as long as you can do an "sudo apt-get update"
[16:00] <mindoverflow> cuz when i unplug one of'em it functions well
[16:00] <amenado> flaccid yeah i dont have an answer, i have not had a chance to look at your menu.lst  can you paste it?
[16:00] <anonA1> luichi are you installing now, or what?
[16:00] <lex> osotogari: if it's int he options, change the model to your actual monitor
[16:00] <flaccid> amenado no i can't i can't boot nor can i boot from something else.
[16:00] <rickyricci> what irc client program do you all prefer?
[16:01] <flaccid> flaccid i am familiar with grub prompt so who needs menu.list heh
[16:01] <mindoverflow> it ends at the busybox with the modprobe abnormal exit
[16:01] <neufeind> hmm, anyoneß
[16:01] <Seveas> !poll
[16:01] <luichi> yes it's installing
[16:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about poll - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:01] <anonA1> rickyricci xchat for GUI , irssi for command line
[16:01] <luichi> :d
[16:01] <Seveas> !polls > rickyricci
[16:01] <luichi> i've burned boot.img and i have installed in my laptop
[16:01] <luichi> now i'm burning root.img
[16:01] <osotogari> @ lex: ok i will try that
[16:01] <amenado> flaccid->  the 0ec1266c-830f-4b6a-9198-a409bfb5a31f uuid , its your device that it cannot detect, is that your /  partition?
[16:01] <anonA1> luichi you're a regular expert now :)
[16:01] <luichi> lol
[16:01] <GullyFoyle> rickyricci: urxvt+screen+weechat
[16:02] <rickyricci> seveas, what does !polls mean? is that a program?
[16:02] <anonA1> i vote screen for the best app ever
[16:02] <amenado> flaccid you may be familiar with your menu.lst , i still have to look at it as i dont remember every quirky ness of such file
[16:02] <flaccid> amenado we all have dif UUIDs. it wont boot with a UUID or a linux logic device name eg. /dev/sda7
[16:02] <anonA1> i know, ot :(
[16:02] <Seveas> rickyricci, ubotu sent you a message, read it please
[16:03] <mindoverflow> hello, boot problem, modprobe, 2 hard disks, could anybody help ???
[16:03] <flaccid> amenado its cool you don't have the skillset to help
[16:03] <amenado> flaccid-> and this would not boot from a liveCd either?
[16:03] <amenado> flaccid okay i dont have it, good luck with your atttitude
[16:03] <flaccid> amenado as i said i can't boot from anything else. optical drive is gone
[16:03] <flaccid> amenado attitude? lol no tone on irc dude
[16:03] <osotogari> @lex: That didnt solve it
[16:04] <demosh> is there any technical reason not to install on lvm2?
[16:04] <steel_lady> by accident I removed somehow the desktop shortcuts to my partitions. how do I get it back?
[16:04] <Seveas> demosh, I can't think of one real quick
[16:04] <lex> osotogari: did you restart X for the changes to be made? see, doing that changes the settings in your xorg.conf that allows for the other settings to become available via the GUI
[16:04] <demosh> im intending to have everything but /boot on lvm2
[16:04] <amenado> steel_lady-> you may be able to get it back from the gconf-editor  in those sub menus
[16:05] <EdgOr_MaTRIx> Is there any Free Shell with python installed that works?
[16:05] <EnvoyRising> i'm trying to create a launcher for this game that runs via a shell script
[16:05] <lex> osotogari: eh, you are using a CRT right?
[16:05] <PriceChild> EdgOr_MaTRIx, nothing free is worth it in this world.
[16:05] <Bruum> someone who can help me fast with partition msg me! simpel questiaon
[16:05] <osotogari> @lex: I logged out and back in again. Using a TFT
[16:05] <anonA1> PriceChild but lots of things that are GPLed are :)
[16:06] <EnvoyRising> i can run it via command line, but when i try to add an entry to the main menu, it just sits there. what command do i need to use to execute it from the main menu?
[16:06] <anonA1> Bruum ask in channel. You may help out someone else
[16:06] <luichi> it appeers : this system has relativelty little free memory so it will enter low memory mode. Amog other things, this means that this program will proceed in ENglish. You should set up swap space as soon as posible
[16:06] <amenado> Bruum-> post the question here, we have been assisting you
[16:06] <lex> osotogari: you can't change the "refresh rate" of an LCD
[16:06] <Jogger> Can anyone tell me why Ubuntu works and Red Hat would on this Everex PC?
[16:06] <luichi> i press continue?
[16:06] <Jogger> would not
[16:06] <anonA1> luichi yes
[16:06] <luichi> ok
[16:06] <Seveas> Jogger, no idea, ask in a red hat channel
[16:06] <anonA1> luichi what is the system spec, btw?
[16:06] <Jogger> I got a kernal panic
[16:07] <Jogger> Its a gPC, Everex
[16:07] <ompaul> Jogger, that would be suitable for the rh people
[16:07] <amenado> everex still exist?
[16:07] <ompaul> Jogger, OT for here
[16:07] <anonA1> Jogger ah, your kernel popped
[16:07] <Jogger> Red Hat had a smooth install but after reboot the kernel panicked
[16:07] <lex> osotogari: as long as the model is set right, and you have the native resolution selected, it should look right. isn't not a widescreen is it?
[16:08] <anonA1> Jogger wrong channel. Wrong channel. And ... wrong channel
[16:08] <osotogari> @ lex: Ha!! Well silly me!
[16:08] <Bruum> im installing a fresh ubuntu on my pc.. making the partition i have choosed manual, and then sdb1 is ext3 / with 10GB, then sdb2 is swap with 1GB, and then sdb3 is ext3 /home with 300GB, is that right? ore did i miss something.. thx "agein"
[16:08] <osotogari> @ lex: it should be all set up so. thanks for the help!
[16:08] <amenado> Bruum-> plenty enuff
[16:08] <anonA1> Bruum shouldn't be a problem
[16:08] <Nuba1> does anyone know why webmin isn't in the repos?
[16:08] <anonA1> Bruum in fact, it's quite good :)
[16:08] <malsyned_> Since upgrading to gutsy, the search box in Firefox doesn't work.  It won't let me switch search engines and neither Enter nor the button work to initiate a search.
[16:08] <malsyned_> Anybody ever seen anything like that?
[16:09] <Bruum> then i got a eroor, input/outpot error on the cd
[16:09] <Bruum> and install failed
[16:09] <Jogger> Ubuntu is impressive on that Everex $199 pc
[16:09] <anonA1> Bruum that sounds like a CD or CDRom error then
[16:09] <amenado> Bruum then its the cd disk you burn that is erroring..verify it is good
[16:09] <PriceChild> anonA1, good point.
[16:09] <Nuba1> malysned, I've seen that happen yeah
[16:09]  * overkordbaever detached from the session
[16:09]  * overkordbaever detached from the session
[16:09] <Nuba1> restarting fixed it for me
[16:09] <Bruum> amenado : its the cd i got from ubuntu.com "not downloaded"
[16:10] <anonA1> Bruum then it could be the CD Rom - your reader
[16:10]  * Nuba1 thinks gutsy is highly buggy, in comparison to feisty or heron
[16:10] <Bruum> strange...
[16:10] <Rynux9> I need help figuring out how to setup my wireless network in ubuntu...
[16:10] <amenado> Bruum well run the verify cdrom anyays, or yeah maybe it is your device that going cucko on you now..
[16:10] <anonA1> Nuba1 gibbons are usually more tempermental
[16:10] <nios> I installed nvida driver via Restricted driver manager and i wonder if this really is the latest driver for nvidia-glx-new    100.14.19+<IP_ADDRESS>-14.1
[16:10] <anonA1> !wifi|rynux9
[16:10] <ubotu> rynux9: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[16:10] <Bruum> verify only at startup ore can i do it in live ubuntu=
[16:10] <nios> i have Geforce 8400GS
[16:11] <flaccid> amenado perhaps a launchpad bug will help verify my concerns https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/67256
[16:11] <Nuba1> nios it is
[16:11] <Rynux9> thanks
[16:11] <Nuba1> I just installed my 8800gt using it
[16:11] <nios> what is 100.14.19 ?
[16:11] <amenado> Bruum just for comparison, i am able to boot a liveCd from a specific dvd drive, i can not from any other dvd drive i have,  moving the same working dvd drive over to the other machine works. so i suspect my dvd drive has something to dowith it
[16:11] <Nuba1> the nvidia version number
[16:11] <lex> the driver version?
[16:11] <bsdnewb07> guys how do i install libcurl via the apt-get system?
[16:11] <Nuba1> the other part is the kernel
[16:12] <lex> bsdnewb07: sudo apt-get install libcurl?
[16:12] <bsdnewb07> yeh says package not found
[16:12] <Bruum> amenado : i have installed ubuntu many times before, lets find my downloaded version and se if thats work...
[16:12] <anonA1> bsdnewb07 you can check for the right version with "sudo apt-cache search libcurl"
[16:12] <lex> bsdnewb07: have you searched for it in synaptic?
[16:12] <Nuba1> try sudo apt-cache search libcurl
[16:12] <Seveas> !find libcurl
[16:12] <ubotu> Found: libcurl3, libcurl3-dbg, libcurl3-gnutls, libcurl4-gnutls-dev, libcurl4-openssl-dev (and 3 others)
[16:12] <nios> Version: 169.09 Release Date: January 21, 2008
[16:12] <Seveas> Nuba1, apt-cache needs no sudo ;)
[16:13] <Cromag> !
[16:13] <Nuba1> habit
[16:13] <Seveas> bsdnewb07, you want libcurl3
[16:13] <anonA1> Seveas ah, you didn't correct me :(
[16:13] <Nuba1> or is habbit
[16:13] <Seveas> anonA1, missed it :)
[16:13] <anonA1> lol
[16:13] <Nuba1> hmmm... habit, right?
[16:13] <anonA1> i've been a bad, bad boy, and i need punishing
[16:13] <anonA1> Nuba1 yep
[16:14] <lex> hahahahaha
[16:14] <Fioz> hehe
[16:14] <Fioz> hi
[16:14] <Fioz> hi 2 all
[16:14] <Seveas> hi Fioz
[16:14] <Nuba1> so why is webmin not in the repos?
[16:14] <Nuba1> any particular reason?
[16:14] <Seveas> !webmin | Nuba1
[16:14] <anonA1> that hurt
[16:14] <ubotu> Nuba1: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead.
[16:14] <flaccid> !webmin
[16:14] <Fioz> who got macbook
[16:14] <Fioz> here ?
[16:15] <Fioz> i got macbook
[16:15] <Nuba1> ebox instead?
[16:15] <Seveas> !enter | fioz
[16:15] <ubotu> fioz: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[16:15] <lucasvo> I've been following a guide on the ubuntu forum on how to prepare an usb flash drive to use it for network install. I want to use it with my tablet pc that has vista preinstalled. the problem is, that the partition manager installed on the usb disk can not handle ntfs partitions. how can I resize the partition without acquiring a partition software and without a livecd?
[16:15] <bazhang> fioz easy on the enter key ;]
[16:15] <anonA1> Nuba1 and if you are going to install webmin anyway, I'd advise not to
[16:15] <Nuba1> anon, I've always done so, as it is the easiest way to administer my ldap users
[16:15] <Nuba1> I've never seen a problem related to it
[16:15] <Seveas> the executive summary is that webmin sucks more than a vacuum cleaner
[16:15] <chejrw> What is the easiest way to run ubuntu on Mac OSX?
[16:15] <steel_lady> I reformated my 500G external back to NFTS and now it does not permit me to write to it telling I do not have the permission. what do I do?
[16:16] <apollo> hi
[16:16] <Seveas> Nuba1, phpldapadmin if you want bebbased ldap administration
[16:16] <Nuba1> seveas, I accept that if you can tell me y?
[16:16] <anonA1> Nuba1 as said, it thinks config files are not where ubuntu keeps them. Don't use it
[16:16] <Nuba1> phpldapadmin is way more complicated
[16:16] <Seveas> Nuba1, it's broken too many systems and is a large gaping security hole
[16:16] <Bruum> bazhang and amenado thanks for your help :)
[16:16] <Fioz> i got macbook and i try to install ubuntu on external hard dive i just copy an paste the ubuntu live cd on my hard
[16:16] <sinbox> !ntfs | steel_lady

[16:16] <amenado> steel_lady-> i dont think ubuntu understand NFTS :) maybe NTFS?
[16:16] <nios> Version: 169.09 Release Date: January 21, 2008 on Nvidia website
[16:16] <lex> Has anyone gotten an X-Fi working in 32-bit? Not asking for help; just curious
[16:16] <bazhang> Bruum: no worries ;]
[16:16] <apollo> i have question about wine and half life. I got the error message:
[16:16] <apollo> fixme:winmm:MMDRV_Exit Closing while ll-driver open
[16:16] <amenado> Bruum-> you got it resolved? cool
[16:17] <anonA1> luichi you still going?
[16:17] <Nuba1> ok, so what you are really saying is, its a security problem in beginner's hands
[16:17] <bsdnewb07> i tried libcurl3 i installed something im trying to compile  --with-libcurl  but it says libcurl not found through the compliation :/
[16:17] <Bruum> not yet, but i know the burned cd i got have worked beofre
[16:17] <Nuba1> that I'll accept
[16:17] <apollo> what is the ll driver? A graphic or sound driver?
[16:17] <Seveas> Nuba1, not just beginners hands really
[16:17] <steel_lady> amenado, well, as long as you understand what do I want to say, good...
[16:17] <anonA1> Nuba1 no, in anyone's hands. AND it isn't ubuntu friendly
[16:17] <Fioz> the pblm is when i reboot my macbook with alt/ option it not reconize my hard disk with ubuntu  is it normal ?
[16:17] <steel_lady> sinbox I already have NTFS-3g
[16:17] <Nuba1> that it isnt ubuntu friendly, maybe, since its not in the repos ;-)
[16:17] <luichi> yes i i'm installing the last driver and i will install debian
[16:17] <Fioz> i got macbook and i try to install ubuntu on external hard dive i just copy an paste the ubuntu live cd on my hard
[16:18] <anonA1> luichi i'm excited
[16:18] <Fioz> the pblm is when i reboot my macbook with alt/ option it not reconize my hard disk with ubuntu  is it normal ?
[16:18] <apollo> can someone tell me what the ll-driver does?
[16:18] <apollo> cant find it on google
[16:18] <nios> I dont like Nvidia
[16:18] <sinbox> steel_lady,  so it is reformatted in ntfs then? or is that nfts?
[16:18] <anonA1> luichi i once had to install a whole debian installation with floppies ... it was about 16 as i remember at the time
[16:18] <cadefy> nvidia > ati
[16:18] <amenado> steel_lady-> you use the ubuntu tools to format the 500gig or an xp?
[16:18] <Seveas> Nuba1, it used to be. In a dark gray past
[16:18] <pppp> algum help em portugues
[16:18] <Nuba1> y would ebox be 'more secure?'
[16:18] <Seveas> !pt | pppp
[16:18] <ubotu> pppp: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[16:18] <Fioz> i got macbook and i try to install ubuntu on external hard dive i just copy an paste the ubuntu live cd on my hard
[16:19] <Fioz> the pblm is when i reboot my macbook with alt/ option it not reconize my hard disk with ubuntu  is it normal ?
[16:19] <luichi> uou
[16:19] <ignostic>  /quit
[16:19] <Nuba1> sounds to me its like the envy issue
[16:19] <steel_lady> sinbox, I reformatted it to ntfs with gparted after they told me here it is better to use it instead of FAT32
[16:19] <Fioz> i got macbook and i try to install ubuntu on external hard dive i just copy an paste the ubuntu live cd on my hard
[16:19] <Fioz> the pblm is when i reboot my macbook with alt/ option it not reconize my hard disk with ubuntu  is it normal ?
[16:19] <apollo> nobody an idea what the LL Driver does?
[16:19] <Seveas> Nuba1, never having tried ebox, I can't know for sure. However, people who I trust very much have told me so.
[16:19] <steel_lady> amenado I used gparted
[16:19] <Seveas> Nuba1, don't get me started on envy please...
[16:19] <NinjaELF> Hello everyone.  I just installed kubuntu 7.10 and I can no longer use "ctrl+alt Plus or Minus" to zoom in and out like I could in kubuntu 7.04.  is there any way to fix this?
[16:19] <Nuba1> well, I'll give it a wirl, but I thought ebox is an entire solution
[16:19] <nios> If i use "none" in Visual Effects" then when  i close windows it looks really crap. can i do something that looks better ?
[16:19] <Nuba1> an entire server box
[16:19] <anonA1> Nuba1 well, you could bite the bullet and actually learn how to config stuff properly ;)
[16:19] <Seveas> that beast broke so much and so often that we once tried to get it banned from planet ubuntu
[16:19] <amenado> steel_lady-> and now when you mount it, or can you even mount it? what is the permission you use when mounting?
[16:19] <nios> Becuase when i dont use compiz then i can nicely watch movies and all
[16:20] <desv> Do anyone know if and how to change gnomes volume pupup?
[16:20] <Nuba1> I do... I agre that envy is relatively useless
[16:20] <sinbox> have you added the "NTFS configuration tool" in your System Tools steel_lady ?  it worked a treat for me
[16:20] <EnvoyRising> i'm trying to make  a launcher for this shell script and i can't for the life of me get it to work. i've set the correct permissions via chmod but i still cant get it to run via double click (via terminal works fine)
[16:20] <lex> steel_lady: your local user needs permissions to access the drive; aside from mounting it as well
[16:20] <Nuba1> but using webmin has nothing to do with not knowing how to edit config files with vi
[16:20] <Bruum> thise chat are the most used help i have never seen... witout it how can pepole who never used linux make it?
[16:20] <Nuba1> its got to do with ease of use / time
[16:20] <luichi> now i have intalled all the drivers
[16:20] <anonA1> Nuba1 i'm faster with vi .. YMMV
[16:20] <Seveas> Nuba1, you don't need to edit things with vi to manage ldap users ;)
[16:20] <luichi> but i'm in debian menu installer
[16:20] <Nuba1> really? even to edit mass user lists?
[16:20] <demosh> is it better to leave swap outside lvm2?
[16:21] <amenado> Bruum we try to be friendlier, trying harder all the time
[16:21] <mortualdead> O_O
[16:21] <steel_lady> amenado it is mounted automatically
[16:21] <desv> Bruum, There is hope for humanity :)
[16:21] <anonA1> Nuba1 sure .. or at least scripting it
[16:21] <luichi> i have to go to the console and put  wget $unetbootin.deb no?
[16:21] <Seveas> Nuba1, shellscripts, sed, awk, tr... :)
[16:21] <lex> steel_lady: so that just leaves changing the permissions then
[16:21] <jgraham> anyone here running 8.04/hardy and 64 bit using firefox beta 3?
[16:21] <Indiadev_Techie> what is the channel name for ubuntustudio ???
[16:21] <neufeind> is there a way to use virt-install to create an Ubuntu-domU?
[16:21] <luichi> but i have to connect my laptop with the router no?
[16:21] <amenado> steel_lady-> whats the permission you see when you  type mount  ro ? rw?
[16:21] <Nuba1> yeah yeah, ok
[16:21] <Seveas> Indiadev_Techie, #ubuntustudio :)
[16:21] <steel_lady> lex, how do I give those permissions?
[16:21] <Bruum> amenado : lol, its working with my burned cd.. but not the cd i got posted from ubuntu.... strange
[16:21] <Nuba1> well, I don't have encyclopedic linux/unix command line knowledge
[16:21] <Nuba1> so it would be slower for me
[16:21] <Seveas> Bruum, those sometimes get damaged in transport
[16:21] <bazhang> jgraham: best discussed in #ubuntu+1
[16:22] <jgraham> bazhang, thanks
[16:22] <Seveas> Nuba1, practice makes perfect though ;)
[16:22] <NinjaELF> I just installed kubuntu 7.10 and I can no longer use "ctrl+alt Plus or Minus" to zoom in and out like I could in kubuntu 7.04.  is there any way to fix this?
[16:22] <Nuba1> I can do most stuff, even use vi, to a certain extent
[16:22] <anonA1> Nuba1 for a while. Then it would be much faster. But anyway go for it
[16:22] <apollo> :(
[16:22] <lex> steel_lady: look into chown or chmod; google and the fourms should yield good results
[16:22] <dimas_> how do i unistall tcl8.5-dev from the termina?
[16:22] <amenado> Bruum-> i gave you a sample of my experience, i dont know what is it with some burners..
[16:22] <Bruum> Seveas : seems nice.. no damage that i can se
[16:22] <anonA1> Nuba1 plus you get to learn the joy of reg exes
[16:22] <anonA1> ;)
[16:22] <Seveas> anonA1, heh
[16:22] <nios> how can i see what compiz version i run?
[16:22] <Bruum> amenado ; yes true..
[16:22] <Nuba1> that's the part I don't have encyclopedic knowledge of
[16:22] <apollo> hi one last time ;). Does someone know what the LL DRIVER does? Sound, Video or something different?
[16:22] <james_w> Hi all, is ctrl+alt+f1 supposed to work at gdm to get a VT? It doesn't work on my machine.
[16:22] <anonA1> "when a programmer has a problem and uses regular expressions to solve it, they now have two problems"
[16:23] <Seveas> nios, dpkg -l compiz
[16:23] <KRF> nios, dpkg -l | grep compiz
[16:23] <anonA1> :)
[16:23] <domherre> Hey, I have a problem playbacking videofiles located on windows xp box in the network, I cant stream them over vlc, and totem totaly sucks for h.264 (atleast drivers i tried). Anyone know a solution except copying them over to the box i want to playback them from?
[16:23] <Bruum> anyways the world will now open it at my home with ubuntu ;)
[16:23] <xq> nios, dpkg -l | grep compiz
[16:23] <Seveas> anonA1, very true
[16:23] <xq> bleh
[16:23] <amenado> anonA1-> good point
[16:23] <xq> lag
[16:23] <luichi> anona1
[16:23] <steel_lady> lex, using TestDisk it gives me dr-xr-xr-x     0     0         0 24-Feb-2008 17:01  for that disk
[16:23] <Nuba1> any of you use LTSP?
[16:23] <luichi> now i have all drivers installed and i'm on debian main menu installer i have to go to the console and put  wget $unetbootin.deb no?
[16:23] <anonA1> wasn't my quote though .. might have been stallman
[16:23] <luichi> but i have to have my router connected with my laptop no?
[16:24] <amenado> steel_lady-> what about the result of mount ? what is the permission?
[16:24] <Seveas> anonA1, no 't was someone else
[16:24] <dimas_> how do i unistall tcl8.5-dev from the terminal?
[16:24] <Seveas> sudo apt-get remove tcl8.5-dev
[16:24] <dimas_> thanks
[16:24] <anonA1> luichi i don't know about the first question, but yes, you have to have internet connectivity
[16:24] <LjL> dimas_: sudo apt-get remove tcl8.5-dev
[16:24] <luichi> but connecting my laptop with my router with a cable no?
[16:25] <NinjaELF> So kubuntu 7.10 is just scrap now old features are not going to work anymore?
[16:25] <amenado> luichi-> good idea
[16:25] <luichi> ok
[16:25] <anonA1> luichi yeah, but did you do a network setup? was there a config screen for that?
[16:25] <Corty> anyone using synce here?
[16:25] <mortualdead> How does he feel in my arms ?
[16:25] <luichi> yes there is a network setup
[16:25] <anonA1> luichi ok good
[16:25] <luichi> it is in debian menu installer
[16:26] <luichi> it says configure network
[16:26] <luichi> and it apper detect network or something like this
[16:27] <luichi> it was detect network hardware
[16:27] <Luda_Glawa> hello
[16:27] <luichi> i've done it and it says
[16:27] <NinjaELF> I guess its time to try another distribution. Simple features are disabled and it seems no one here has knows why. :(
[16:27] <Nuba1> from web ->Note that eBox is an advanced network services provider, so it’s intended to be installed on a dedicated machine.
[16:27] <Nuba1> guess that means I can't install it since I already have a customised LTSP installation
[16:27] <luichi> it appers a lot of kernel  modules that match with my hardware
[16:27] <anonA1> NinjaELF oh no! please! not the change distro threat!
[16:27] <luichi> i will put all selected
[16:27] <luichi> no?
[16:28] <anonA1> luichi yes, leave those checked, it'll make sure your card is detected
[16:28] <luichi> ok
[16:28] <Seveas> anonA1, you seem to have had too much coffee or mountain dew :)
[16:28] <anonA1> well, let's hope your card is on there :)
[16:28] <bazhang> NinjaELF: wow what is the issue
[16:28] <anonA1> Seveas haha yep. it's 1:28 am here
[16:28] <luichi> it says start pc card services?
[16:28] <Seveas> get some sleep :)

[16:31] <anonA1> luichi i like xfce4 for low powered machines
[16:31] <anonA1> but it's individual
[16:31] <WeeJay> Hi guys! I am wondering if anyone know what dev permission I need to modify so that non-admin users can enjoy direct rendering when using ATI fglrx driver.  I am used to nvidia driver which creates two devices in /dev, but with ati I am not seeing anything similar?
[16:32] <WeeJay> Currently only admin users have direct rendering working but non-admin users don't
[16:32] <EnvoyRising> ok, got it working
[16:32] <Indiadev_Techie> luichi: anonA1: is corects...xfce4 even eorks on system wid atleast 128Mb of ram....
[16:32] <steel_lady> amenado I have the permission only to read
[16:32] <luichi> but i think i have less
[16:32] <luichi> i think i have 64
[16:32] <charlie> when my ubuntu boots up the splash screen is fine but afterwards the resolution changes and i cant see anything, how can i fix this? in safe mode somehow?
[16:33] <WebGuest> can someone tell me the german ubuntu chat name?
[16:33] <Indiadev_Techie> luichi: may be that u can go for damn small linux or knoppix...

[16:33] <luichi> one thing it says
[16:33] <anonA1> luichi ah, well there are other very light window managers available
[16:33] <lex> Charlie: reconfigure your xorg.conf
[16:33] <luichi> autoconfigure network with DHCP?
[16:33] <bazhang> although chat might be #ubuntu-de-offtopic
[16:34] <anonA1> luichi i like fluxbox
[16:34] <steel_lady> isnt there some manager that is not only terminal to manage permissions?
[16:34] <anonA1> luichi might be perfect for you
[16:34] <anonA1> luichi yeah try the autoconfigure
[16:34] <luichi> YES I THINK I HAD FLUXBOX INSTALLED
[16:34] <anonA1> luichi yeah, it rocks
[16:34] <anonA1> i used that on that p70
[16:34] <luichi> BECAUSE I SEARCHED IN GOOGLE AND THE SCREENSHOOTS I SAW WERE THE SAME AS I HAD
[16:34] <stefano> is there someone with a little experience in linux development (gui)?
[16:35] <lex> luichi: caps?
[16:35] <anonA1> you seem excited ;)
[16:35] <Indiadev_Techie> anonA1: p70 ???
[16:35] <luichi> sorry
[16:35] <luichi> and im xd
[16:35] <Pupeno> Hello.
[16:35] <Corty> lol, flam0r
[16:35] <ConstyXIV> can you rotate your screen in ubuntu?
[16:35] <anonA1> Indiadev_Techie a first gen pentium 70Mhz
[16:35] <anonA1> laptop even
[16:35] <Pupeno> I've selected the high contrast big fonts and when I went back to human, the fonts are still big, how can I reset them to the default?
[16:35] <charlie_> lex: i tried changing the 'screen' section, i removed all the resolution settings before the one than should work but it still did the same thing
[16:36] <aurum> Anyone here that plays TF2 know if there's a way to make it start in windowed mode before loading?
[16:36] <anonA1> course I had to use Dillo as a browser ...
[16:37] <jrib> aurum: check winehq's appdb.  They give you the command
[16:37] <lex> charlie_: eh, have you tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" rather then editing it manually. It should "reset" stuff so you can log in and edit it further
[16:37] <ConstyXIV> aurum: there's a way to make wine use a "virtual desktop" that'll lock it into a window
[16:38] <CorruptTerrorist> can anyone assist me with a wubi problem?
[16:38] <charlie_> lex: ok ill give that a go, i am doing this in 'recovery mode' is that right?
[16:38] <lex> charlie_: from a command prompt is fine
[16:39] <LjL> CorruptTerrorist: not really, wubi is not supported by us
[16:39] <charlie_> lex: how do i get to that?
[16:39] <anonA1> CorruptTerrorist i only have one comment on that. Wubi sucks
[16:39] <bazhang> CorruptTerrorist: on gutsy?
[16:39] <CorruptTerrorist> LjL,  any idea where?
[16:39] <ompaul> CorruptTerrorist go talk with the wubi people
[16:39] <jrib> aurum: wine steam -silent -applaunch 440 -window -novid -dxlevel 80 -width 1024 -height 768
[16:39] <ompaul> they their web site
[16:39] <LjL> CorruptTerrorist: well, #wubi, but i fear it's kind of empty. they might have forums
[16:39] <ConstyXIV> wubi will be part of ubuntu as of hardy
[16:40] <lex> charlie_: eh, hit esc to open GRUB then "C" for a command line
[16:40] <ompaul> ConstyXIV, ? spec please
[16:40] <Sepho> hi all
[16:40] <dublpaws> emacs python-mode seems to be broken in gutsy
[16:40] <lex> charlie_: upon booting up
[16:40] <backgen> hey guys i've got a problem. I've managed to dual boot my computer so that i've got Ubuntu Gibbon on One partition and Windows XP on the other, but now whenever i try to boot up Windows XP it gets stuck after the part where my wallpaper loads up and it's made the little "welcome song", but then no icons or anything else loads up and i can't do anything. My unbutu is fine though
[16:40] <LjL> ompaul: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/hardy/alpha5#head-6480dbf53a22fd63296c48b401424dacf976409d https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/installer-for-windows
[16:41] <decaelo> currently trying to upgrade to feisty, getting an error that one package is trying to overwrite another, which is also contained in xserver-xorg-driver-savage.. any ideas?
[16:41] <ConstyXIV> it's on your hardy alpha5 cd, if you've got one
[16:41] <ompaul> LjL, aye - that means I won't be supporting wubi or samba ;-) getting like a project I know
[16:41] <Tu13es> I found a tutorial that tells me to "use this script and run it through .bashrc"...anyone know what it means?
[16:41] <bazhang> !ot
[16:41] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[16:41] <xevian> hi there
[16:42] <Pupeno> What file system do you use in USB memories?
[16:42] <anonA1> Tu13es why yes, yes i do
[16:42] <ConstyXIV> luckily, it's not the only supported installer
[16:42] <anonA1> Pupeno FAT32 usually
[16:42] <Tu13es> anonA1: care to share?
[16:42] <bazhang> Pupeno: generally fat32
[16:42] <ConstyXIV> Pupeno: FAT32, so you stay compatible with win boxen
[16:42] <anonA1> Tu13es it means that you can get it to run when bash starts up by putting the entry in .bashrc
[16:42] <nikolam> Hey guys, does anyone use newest ATI drivers and have problems with computer locking on X restart/logout?
[16:42] <anonA1> Tu13es loosely
[16:43] <Tu13es> anonA1: what exactly do I put into the file? like "./scriptname" ?
[16:43] <Pupeno> I don't care about win boxes, but I do care about characters that work on linux and that doesn't work on win, when I share things with my wife.
[16:43] <CorruptTerrorist> !lvpm | CorruptTerrorist
[16:43] <CorruptTerrorist> what? no lvpm?
[16:43] <backgen> Has anyone had any experience with my kind of problem before?
[16:43] <backgen> Anyone had any experience with this kind of problem before?
[16:43] <backgen> (sorry IRC bugged up, didnt mean to spam)
[16:44] <bazhang> backgen you need to actually state the problem ;]
[16:44] <backgen> hey guys i've got a problem. I've managed to dual boot my computer so that i've got Ubuntu Gibbon on One partition and Windows XP on the other, but now whenever i try to boot up Windows XP it gets stuck after the part where my wallpaper loads up and it's made the little "welcome song", but then no icons or anything else loads up and i can't do anything. My unbutu is fine though
[16:44] <`Tanner> Yeah. :S
[16:44] <bazhang> problem in windows? hmmm
[16:44] <HisChild> backgen, that is a problem related to windows. Ubuntu doesn't do anything to windows
[16:45] <backgen> ah crud
[16:45] <HisChild> backgen, as it boots fine untill the login screen, it's safe to say that windows screwed up at some point
[16:45] <ConstyXIV> backgen: goto ##windows
[16:45] <bazhang> I think they have a channel ;]
[16:45] <j1solutions> hello all, it's a great day to be 'windows free'
[16:45] <`Tanner> But, was it doing that before you tried to boot ubunto ?
[16:45] <donkey> backgen. try to do a ctrl+ alt+ delete and click file + new task  ... Then type in explorer.exe
[16:45] <anonA1> Tu13es sorry had to adjust my dog ... um yeah, i would put the whole pathname
[16:45] <ConstyXIV> how compatible is gnash to adobe flash?
[16:46] <backgen> sigh...i guess i'll go to the windows channels...those guys seem to never reply though :(
[16:46] <donkey> backgen. try to do a ctrl+ alt+ delete and click file + new task  ... Then type in explorer.exe
[16:46] <Tu13es> anonA1: so just ./path/to/script.sh ?
[16:46] <backgen> donkey: i tried ctrl+alt+del but the window didn't pop up
[16:46] <anonA1> Tu13es you do know the script will run every time you start an interactive shell?
[16:46] <Tu13es> ah, nice
[16:46] <decaelo> I am currently -trying- to upgrade to feisty (from 6.06LTS), getting an error that one package is trying to overwrite another, which is also contained in xserver-xorg-driver-savage.. it then aborts. Any ideas?
[16:46] <SeaninSeattle> Hey all, any interest in helping a total noob with a broadcom issue?  I posted on the forum here:  http://tinyurl.com/2ev3d8
[16:46] <anonA1> Tu13es you don't need the .
[16:46]  * bazhang wonders why #ubuntu has taken over for ##windows
[16:47] <CorruptTerrorist> is it possible to resize partitions without affecting the data on them?
[16:47] <donkey> hm.... not sure. try to see if you can boot it in safe mode
[16:47] <LetterRip> hi all - anyone know offhand how to find all packages used to build a package?
[16:47] <prince_jammys> CorruptTerrorist: yes
[16:47] <donkey> backgen >  hm.... not sure. try to see if you can boot it in safe mode
[16:47] <LetterRip> specificially blender
[16:47] <susy> ciao
[16:47] <lex> CorruptTerrorist: yes, but it's not 100% that something won't happen
[16:47] <bazhang> CorruptTerrorist: sure, but you are on Hardy, right?
[16:47] <anonA1> CorruptTerrorist it can be. There is no guaruntee (bad spelling) though
[16:47] <danbhfive> decaelo: you could wait for hardy, it will have a direct route to upgrading, BUT I dont think you can upgrade from dapper to deisty
[16:47] <ConstyXIV> LetterRip: sudo apt-get build-dep foobar
[16:47] <LetterRip> ConstyXIV, thanks
[16:47] <prince_jammys> !gparted | CorruptTerrorist: get the live CD
[16:47] <ConstyXIV> LetterRip: foobar being your package
[16:47] <ubotu> CorruptTerrorist: get the live CD: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/
[16:47] <charlie_> CorruptTerrorist: try a program called partition logic
[16:47] <backgen> donkey: how can i boot it in safe mode though?
[16:47] <danbhfive> decaelo: you have to upgrade to edgy first
[16:48] <decaelo> danbhfive: thanks. so i am skipping a step then
[16:48] <SeaninSeattle> Good morning everyone.  Would anyone be willing and able to help with a broadcom wireless card issue on an HP laptop?
[16:48] <CorruptTerrorist> bazhang, no, i'm installing wubi, then upping it to a full partitions
[16:48] <decaelo> 6.06 - (6.10) - 7.04
[16:48] <anonA1> SeaninSeattle ask the question
[16:48] <CorruptTerrorist> bazhang, 7.04 -> 7.10
[16:48] <bazhang> CorruptTerrorist: skip wubi and use the live cd
[16:48] <DivineSpectrum> can i put ''elisa media center on a mp4 reader?
[16:48] <decaelo> Danbhfive: Thank you very much.
[16:48] <anonA1> CorruptTerrorist yeah, what bazhang said
[16:48] <LetterRip> ConstyXIV, um that only lists stuff i don't yet have installed
[16:48] <SeaninSeattle> So, I've installed from source the ndis wrapper, and blacklisted it.
[16:49] <LetterRip> not the full depenencies
[16:49] <danbhfive> decaelo: yeah, OR, 6.06 -> 8.04
[16:49] <CorruptTerrorist> bazhang, but i don't have any spare partitions
[16:49] <Tu13es> anonA1: worked, thank you
[16:49] <SeaninSeattle> but, its still not able to bring up via iwconfig
[16:49] <icy> Heya. Is there a way to make gnome-terminal remember its size or config the default? I don't want to resize it everytime I start it
[16:49] <anonA1> Tu13es no probs
[16:49] <LetterRip> i can already build it but want to tell someone else what they need
[16:49] <bazhang> CorruptTerrorist: resize with the installer will do it fine
[16:49] <donkey> sometimes when you boot it says press f12 or delete or f2 to see a boot menu or a startup menu. try doing that. but if you really want to find out the exact way go  online and in google look up ( setting safe mode on windows xp or vista)
[16:49] <sudobash> what happens when you type ndiswrapper in terminal
[16:49] <SeaninSeattle> ndiswrapper -l:  bcmwl5 : driver installed, device (14E4:4311) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx)
[16:50] <sudobash> so its working
[16:50] <anonA1> it's there
[16:50] <donkey> backgen> sometimes when you boot it says press f12 or delete or f2 to see a boot menu or a startup menu. try doing that. but if you really want to find out the exact way go  online and in google look up ( setting safe mode on windows xp or vista)
[16:50] <hola> im not able to configure my webcam
[16:50] <sudobash> and iwconfig says
[16:50] <SeaninSeattle> sudobash:  alrighty, so how to get my connection up and running, then?
[16:50] <donkey> what are some good websites for ubuntu themes
[16:50] <SeaninSeattle> Ah, momentito
[16:50] <anonA1> hola aw :(
[16:50] <bazhang> hola built in or usb
[16:50] <backgen> donkey: ok thanks!
[16:50] <CorruptTerrorist> bazhang, ok, but i'm doing a full vista backup first
[16:50] <sudobash> Patience
[16:50] <SeaninSeattle> lo no wireless extensions., eth0 no wireless extensions.
[16:51] <LetterRip> could someone who doesn't build stuff from source type -  sudo apt-get build-dep blender and pastebin the result for me?
[16:51] <donkey> no prb
[16:51] <lex> sudobash: brembo or whatever his name was happened to be looking for you, perhaps wanted your kid?
[16:51] <anonA1> lol
[16:51] <hola> bazhang: it is a usb device
[16:51] <sudobash> lol lex i helped him with something yesterday
[16:51] <mikev> hi all
[16:51] <bazhang> hola check if it is supported in /msg ubotu webcam
[16:51] <redharvest> backgen: to boot into safe mode you want to hit F8 as windows starts up
[16:51] <lex> sudobash: yeah, he came back later all hot and heavy
[16:52] <SeaninSeattle> iwlist scan says lo Interface doesn't support scanning. & eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
[16:52] <donkey> what are some good websites for ubuntu themes
[16:52] <backgen> redharvest: ah ok thank you
[16:52] <sudobash> lol really haha I guess his KDE 4 didnt work
[16:52] <CorruptTerrorist> does anyone have a step-by-step installation guide?
[16:52] <bazhang> gnome-look.org donkey
[16:52] <SeaninSeattle> sudobash:  What should I do if the iwconfig and iwscan is not seeing the card?
[16:52] <sudobash> seaninSeattle did you do modprobe ndiswrapper
[16:52] <hola> bazhang: it seem to be not supported but with gspca i think that it cuold be works
[16:52] <sudobash> modprobe ndiswrapper and then iwconfig
[16:52] <SeaninSeattle> hmm... yes... I thought so.
[16:52] <donkey> bazhang. is there another one besides that
[16:52] <sudobash> try sudo before it
[16:52] <anonA1> !themes | donkey
[16:52] <SeaninSeattle> what does modprobe do?
[16:52] <ubotu> donkey: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy

[16:53] <SeaninSeattle> Yes, I'm a noob
[16:53] <mld> hey. so I plug in a usb stick and it automounts which is nice and all, but how do I unmount it without opening nautilus? umount says i'm not root. which is of course true.
[16:53] <steel_lady> how do I check the permissions of the whole drive from a terminal window?
[16:53] <sudobash> !modprobe
[16:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about modprobe - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:53] <j1solutions> mld: be root
[16:53] <sudobash> http://linux.die.net/man/8/modprobe
[16:53] <ompaul> !root
[16:53] <ubotu> Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[16:53] <mikev> I have a little problem with ubuntu, when I press Ctrl+Alt+Fx I cannot access the console, the only thing that shows is a blinkking cursor, any ideas what could be wrong?
[16:53] <CorruptTerrorist> !install
[16:53] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[16:54] <_fang> hello there! i'd like to know if there is a solution for the xdmcp problem with gutsy! thanks
[16:54] <sudobash> ubotu lol I like that entry
[16:54] <CorruptTerrorist> there we go
[16:54] <SeaninSeattle> ah, that makes more sense.  Thans sudobash.  I'll try it and see.
[16:54] <SeaninSeattle> thanks
[16:54] <ompaul> !modules | SeaninSeattle
[16:54] <ubotu> SeaninSeattle: To compile modules and drivers that are not bundled with the standard !kernel, install the relevant package, usually called "<modulename>-source", and run « sudo module-assistant » (you will have to do this again after kernel updates). To prevent specific modules from loading, see !blacklist
[16:54] <sudobash> yeah sudo modprobe ndiswrapper..... iwconfig
[16:54] <charlie_> lex: i did that command you suggested and it worked, thanks! now thought im stuck on a really low res, and there is no option to increas it to something reasonable. also it says its 80Hz but i think its actually 60
[16:54] <lex> steel_lady: have you checked your /etc/mtab or /fstab?
[16:54] <chazco> Hi... ive got a microsd card with a folder on it. The camera can read the folder, but in Ubuntu it is showing as some sort of file... ideas?
[16:55] <mld> j1solutions: if i have to type in my password it feels like i've just lost the point with the auto part... might as well have a regular fstab entry and mount by hand
[16:55] <lex> charlie_: check to ensure your using the proper video card driver and change the model of the monitor to suit the screen resolution you want
[16:55] <CorruptTerrorist> can the windows partition be accessed via ubuntu?
[16:55] <sudobash> yes
[16:55] <sudobash> ntfs-3g is what you want
[16:55] <sudobash> sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[16:56] <charlie_> lex: sorry for my ignorance, but how do i do that?
[16:56] <j1solutions> mld: i'm thinking you could add your user account to some priviledged group and be able to umount
[16:56] <anonA1> sudobash address them by name, otherwise they get confused ;)
[16:56] <lex> charlie_: System -> admin -> screen and graphics
[16:56] <hola> bazhang: in which channel i should ask for it
[16:56] <sudobash> CorruptTerrorist: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[16:57] <anonA1> CorruptTerrorist have you decided to use the install CD?
[16:57] <decaelo> anyone know how to set a bandwidth limit on a linux system (download cap if you will) if my router doesn't permit such a thing
[16:57] <bazhang> hola I would recommend posting on ubuntuforums--I had a webcam that was not supported and just got one that was
[16:57] <Ahmuck> i want one program from the hardy repositories.  do i just add the hard repositiroes to my software list?
[16:57] <_fang> does anyone know if there's already a way to configure xdmcp with ubuntu gutsy? i've tried many times, got the same error as everybody as far as i could get in google and nobody had a real tip.. anyone on this?
[16:57] <PriceChild> sudobash, that is installed by default now.
[16:58] <_fang> Ahmuck: backport is what you want
[16:58] <sudobash> yeah it seem mount command started working after 7.04
[16:58] <mikev> I have a little problem with ubuntu, when I press Ctrl+Alt+Fx I cannot access the console, the only thing that shows is a blinking cursor, any ideas what could be wrong?
[16:58] <cadefy> could someone be so kind to help me in private chat for a minute about GDM themes?
[16:58] <`Tanner> Can windows XP run compiz  ?
[16:58] <anonA1> 'cause it really works now!
[16:58] <PriceChild> Ahmuck, do *NOT* do that.
[16:58] <ompaul> `Tanner, no
[16:58] <`Tanner> ok, Thanks.
[16:58] <anonA1> `Tanner that was a joke, yeah?
[16:58] <anonA1> oh it wasn't
[16:58] <sudobash> mikev: press enter and try other terminals
[16:58] <Ahmuck> PriceChild, i want projectm
[16:58] <sudobash> what happens?
[16:58] <`Tanner> lol i'm new to it
[16:58] <PriceChild> Ahmuck, you do not want to 'accidentally' upgrade to hardy.
[16:58] <CorruptTerrorist> anonA1, yes
[16:58] <sudobash> press enter a few times
[16:58] <anonA1> CorruptTerrorist ok, you'll be able to get help then :)
[16:59] <CorruptTerrorist> sudobash, what does that do?
[16:59] <Ahmuck> correct, but i do want projectm, so add repsotiroes, get projectm, and remove repositories?
[16:59] <cadefy> please, anyone?
