[12:01] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[12:01] <sethk> mint|Alex, you have to install libcurses
[12:01] <sethk> mint|Alex, if there is a dev package for curses, install that also
[12:01] <mint|Alex> apt-get install ?
[12:01] <duaneb> do I need a driver for integrated graphics?
[12:01] <dcordes> FuryNemesis: you got your cellphone running?
[12:01] <nu> gdb: take a look at the links at the top, where it says "register now" and "already a member"
[12:01] <sethk> mint|Alex, apt-get install libcurses
[12:02] <gdb> nu: ?
[12:02] <mint|Alex> Couldn't find package lubcurses
[12:02] <nu> gdb: you dont see it?
[12:02] <tmccrary> Hi, I added another user on my system and I need to be able to run X apps as that user
[12:02] <Dodzey> odla:any look?
[12:02] <sethk> mint|Alex, then apt-get install libcurses5-dev
[12:02] <tmccrary> Is this possible?
[12:02] <Dodzey> odla:luck*
[12:02] <gdb> nu: I got a 404 not found when I went to the address you posted.
[12:02] <sethk> mint|Alex, use synaptic and use search, it will show you all the libcurses packages
[12:02] <mint|Alex> i dont know what that is
[12:02] <nu> gdb: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v425/play/gdb.png
[12:02] <odla> Dodzey: i can run the applet when i run gksudo flock but not flock
[12:02] <sethk> mint|Alex, the first is libcurses5, not libcurses, sorry
[12:02] <sethk> mint|Alex, synaptic is a gui program for installing packages
[12:02] <sethk> mint|Alex, run it and find out.
[12:03] <Dodzey> it'll be permissions on the plugin then i reckon
[12:03] <Ireclan> I just thought of something.
[12:03] <mint|Alex> kk
[12:03] <mint|Alex> Couldn't find package libcurses5
[12:03] <dcordes> anybody can suggest a good DVB-T playeR?
[12:03] <tmccrary> Hi, I added another user on my system and I need to be able to run X apps as that user
[12:03] <Ireclan> On DistroWatch.com, it says Kubuntu is just Ubuntu+KDE, right?
[12:03] <gdb> nu: How does it look weird?  Perhaps I'm not perceptive enough. :-)
[12:03] <sethk> Ireclan, right
[12:03] <Dodzey> odla: try this, gksudo nautilus, browse to the opt/flock/plugins folder and properties - permissions
[12:04] <nu> gdb: did you see the "Register now" and "already a member" and "compare us" links?
[12:04] <gdb> nu: Are you looking at this on an LCD or CRT?
[12:04] <sethk> Ireclan, if you install the base system, regardless of whether you use the ubuntu or kubuntu install cd, the result is the same
[12:04] <Ireclan> So, could I install Kubuntu, then switch to Gnome?
[12:04] <odla> Dodzey: oh wait...it's working now...it must of just been that applet
[12:04] <nu> gdb: they look as if they're not smooth
[12:04] <odla> Dodzey: thanks
[12:04] <Dodzey> odla: np
[12:04] <sethk> Ireclan, better to not install the desktop at all
[12:04] <Dodzey> odla: flock's a great browser
[12:04] <sethk> Ireclan, the help on the install cd will tell you how to install only the cli part of the system
[12:04] <Dodzey> odla: i find it a bit nippier than firefox aswell
[12:04] <odla> Dodzey: it looks pretty interesting
[12:04] <thompa> does anyone know wha the new kernel update is. it says 2.6.15-26 amd64-generic, but i already have -26?
[12:05] <Ireclan> OK.
[12:05] <niruana> pffff i keep gething the error:
[12:05] <sethk> Ireclan, then you can install gnome.  you can also install kubuntu the default way and then switch to gnome, which wastes a bit of space.
[12:05] <azcazandco> anyone ever had hassles with ml-donkey-server?
[12:05] <sethk> Ireclan, but I think it's less confusing the other way.
[12:05] <tmccrary> Cam anyone help me out here please
[12:05] <niruana> root@zhukovsky:/etc/madwifi-0.9.2# make
[12:05] <thompa> how can i find out what the update is or what it fixes
[12:05] <niruana> /bin/sh: line 0: cd: /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-686/build: No such file or directoryMakefile.inc:89: *** /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-686/build is missing, please set KERNELPATH.  Stop.
[12:05] <Dodzey> odla: one of the best features is the website snippets where you can drag and drop bits of sites to save them
[12:05] <thompa> !kernel
[12:05] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux'). You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[12:06] <Dodzey> odla: the photobucket integration is pretty cool aswell
[12:06] <niruana> so?
[12:06] <keiaah> I started the Installer.exe with wine now, and get this "keiaah@ubuntu:~/WoW$ fixme:font:CreateScalableFontResourceW (1,0x955354,0x9552b4,(nil)): stub" I cant read it, anyone know how to change the fonts?
[12:06] <niruana> its ubuntu, so compiled?
[12:06] <nu> gdb: LCD
[12:06] <Ireclan> I'm curious, sethk, why do you like KDE? Why do you prefer it?
[12:06] <nu> kde is eye candy
[12:07] <odla> Dodzey: yeah i've never used it
[12:07] <gdb> nu: System > Preferences > Font and then set it to Subpixel smoothing or something.  Personally, I think the page looks fine, but that's my eye. ;-)
[12:07] <gdb> I detest KDE.
[12:07] <nu> lol hold on gdb, let me show you another ss
[12:07] <gdb> But hey, different strokes for different folks.
[12:07] <thompa> kde is more responsive, at least in gnome the menus always delay in showing icons
[12:08] <gdb> Which hasn't been my experience.
[12:08] <thompa> even with duo core etc gnome menus are slow
[12:08] <gdb> Nah, I think you're making it up.
[12:08] <Seveas> gdb, no, I'm seeing that here too
[12:08] <Seveas> slow disks are the cause
[12:08] <gdb> Weird, I get zero delay at all opening a menu.
[12:08] <void^> it's quite true, ironically kde/qt has started to perform better than gnome/gtk recently
[12:08] <gdb> Ah, that could explain it.
[12:09] <Dodzey> odla: i'd check to see if you have sound in flash stuff
[12:09] <thompa> it hesitates for a second before showing menu icon entries
[12:09] <odla> sure i'll go to homestarrunner.com ..that's flash i think
[12:09] <Dodzey> odla: its broke and you have to use a workaround to get it sorted
[12:09] <nu> gdb: lol, look up close on this next screenshot: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v425/play/91f5fb9b.png
[12:09] <Plouj> gaah!
[12:09] <nu> gdb: see the menu links on top
[12:09] <thompa> gdb: if i change my gnome theme it seems to be fine, i think its indexing or something
[12:10] <Plouj> how on earth am I supposed to run ubuntu if it isn't writing the boot loader into my disk's MBR?!?!?!
[12:10] <nu> the 'x' in 'Extensions' is brighter than the other letters, and the "Search Engines" link is also brighter than the other links
[12:10] <Ireclan> Errrrm....sethK?
[12:10] <nu> Ireclan: he parished =(
[12:11] <gdb> nu: I'm not sure what to tell you.  They look fine to me.  If you're comparing to the "extra crisp" look of Windows XP fonts, no, you're not going to get that.  However, you can make Windows XP more like what you're seeing here by enabling the Microsoft font smoothing technology "ClearType".
[12:11] <Ireclan> Ah.
[12:11] <gdb> nu: Which you can do by right clicking the desktop, properties, advanced, font smoothing or something along those lines
[12:11] <Dodzey> nu: i think the X just looks brighter because they are not as many pixels to make up the letter
[12:11] <nu> gdb: alright. but did you see what i mean when i said "the 'x' in 'Extensions' is brighter than the other letters, and the "Search Engines" link is also brighter than the other links" ?
[12:11] <Dodzey> nu: its an illussion
[12:12] <unikon> i need help guys im stuck on step 5 i wont see any hs to install to
[12:12] <nu> Dodzey: oh. is there a way to fix that?
[12:12] <gdb> nu: The problem is that most free fonts are crap, frankly, and if you turn off the font smoothing in X, you're going to have an ugly desktop, while the MS fonts will look great.  The compromise is to use smoothing for everything.
[12:12] <unikon>  i know the wires are connected and also the hd is good
[12:12] <nu> gdb: ill just get used to this then =D
[12:12] <gdb> nu: Yeah, I see what you mean, absolutely.
[12:12] <nu> gdb: alright man. thanks for all the help.
[12:13] <gdb> nu: The day I can log into a Linux desktop and see fonts as crisp as Windows is the day I'll, well, I'll be extra happy that day.
[12:13] <nu> gdb: me too. ill probably officially delete my xp partition
[12:13] <Dodzey> nu: the search engine link is lighter because its the only link you havent visited
[12:13] <gdb> I'm sure it's a font selection thing because when I run tsclient under Linux, my Windows session looks as I expect it to.
[12:13] <Dodzey> nu: visit it and go to another page then refresh, it'll be dark
[12:14] <nu> Dodzey: rofl i noticed. but what about the x
[12:14] <Dodzey> its just 'cause there are less pixels used in the center of the font in comparison to other letters
[12:14] <gdb> Dodzey: The font is dithered poorly is what he's pointing out.
[12:14] <nu> Dodzey: also, i posted another screenshot. let me show it to you: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v425/play/gdb.png look at the links that say "register now" and "already a member"
[12:15] <nu> Dodzey: thats another example
[12:15] <Dodzey> gdb: yeah, it is, but thats free fonts for you...
[12:15] <Tamale> try using the bitstream vera fonts
[12:15] <Renan_s2> the fonts look OK for me
[12:15] <Tamale> they increased my love for linux 10-fold
[12:16] <gdb> Dodzey: Well, I think in this case, it's the font smoothing in the X server. He's using msttcorefonts so those should be MS fonts being rendered there.
[12:16] <Dodzey> nu: they're just like that to show you have visited the pages or havent, alot of websites use different colours for links depending on whether you have visited them
[12:16] <budluva> anyone here had any luck installing qtorrent?
[12:16] <budluva> i think its a broken package, and it's telling me to file a bug, how do i do that?
[12:16] <gdb> Renan_s2: They look "acceptable" and "ok" they do not look "the same as under Windows" (assuming ClearType is disabled, as is default on Windows).
[12:16] <nu> Dodzey: i know. in that last sreenshot, the font links are dark grey, even if you visit them. but the problem isnt the colors, it the shape
[12:16] <nu> Dodzey: they look a little weird.
[12:16] <void^> fonts on windows without cleartype aren't great.
[12:17] <odla> Dodzey: you said you use photobucket?  is there an upload limit?
[12:17] <void^> i noticed that just yesterday, did some webbrowsing on a xp box and was surprised at pixelated headers.
[12:17] <FurryNemesis> odla, yes but it's huge
[12:17] <odla> larger than flickr?
[12:17] <Dodzey> odla: yeah, i just use it for quickly throwing up screenshots and pictures for people, its nice to be able to drag into the photbucket bar in flock
[12:18] <adrian> how do i set a seperate administrative password
[12:18] <Dodzey> odla: i personally find flickr better (you can use that in flock too)
[12:18] <adrian> ive setup an additional user
[12:18] <odla> yeah flock seems pretty cool
[12:18] <gdb> adrian: sudo passwd root
[12:18] <FurryNemesis> Dodzey, flock is now linux-compatible?
[12:18] <odla> is it going to be packaged for edgy?
[12:18] <gdb> adrian: I assume you mean to set a password for the root user, yes?
[12:18] <Dodzey> yup
[12:18] <odla> FurryNemesis: yeah
[12:18] <Dodzey> it always has been asfar as i know
[12:18] <Dodzey> its not in the repo's
[12:18] <adrian> gdb, yeah i guess, i only want one password for sudo
[12:18] <odla> FurryNemesis: www.ubuntuos.com  scroll down for flock
[12:19] <Dodzey> you'll have to download the archive from flock website
[12:19] <gdb> adrian: Well, that's not possible.
[12:19] <gdb> adrian: The password for sudo is always the password of the user using sudo.
[12:19] <adrian> so ubuntu isnt really multiuser!
[12:19] <adrian> or am i confused
[12:19] <adrian> =P
[12:19] <Renan_s2> adrian, it is
[12:19] <gdb> adrian: I think you're confused.
[12:19] <adrian> yeah usually am
[12:19] <Renan_s2> you can have multiple users logged in via SSH or modem, for instance
[12:19] <Tamale> gdb:  Do you have sup-pixel hinting on?
[12:19] <gdb> adrian: If you want a single password that people can use to "su" to root, you can do that. You can't set a universal password for "sudo" because it's the user's own pasword.
[12:20] <gdb> Tamale: of course
[12:20] <Tamale> try the other options
[12:20] <gdb> adrian: Does that make sense?
[12:20] <adrian> so doing a sudo passwd root just change my users password as well?
[12:20] <Dodzey> nu: i use Sans font, with subpixel rendering on and my fonts look fine
[12:20] <adrian> changed*
[12:20] <Tamale> i'm tellin 'ya though, the best fonts in linux are the bitstream vera ones.... by FAR
[12:21] <nu> Dodzey: let me try playing with the subpixels
[12:21] <Tamale> i wish there were fonts this clear in windows
[12:21] <odla> yeah i've got no audio with flashplayer too
[12:21] <gdb> Dodzey: It's an astetics question.  His point is valid.  The fonts "look ok" they "are acceptable" they "look fine" they *do not* look the same as they do under Windows which doesn't require font smoothing to "look good" and renders crisper fonts.
[12:21] <nu> ok. this is gonna sound bad. but i can't find where my font configuration is
[12:21] <gdb> Tamale: I don't have an issue with how my fonts look.
[12:22] <Tamale> nu, sorry.
[12:22] <gdb> nu: System > Preferences > Font
[12:22] <troytroy> hi mistakenl formated my windows patition which contains the grub boot loader and now system only detects windows os how do i correct this.
[12:22] <Dodzey> odla: want help with that?
[12:22] <nu> Tamale: fear not
[12:22] <gdb> nu: menu off the top of the screen (in gnome)
[12:22] <godtvisken> Anyone in here use a transparent terminal? I'm looking for a good image/color scheme that is easy to read.
[12:22] <odla> Dodzey: sure
[12:22] <troytroy> dont want to reinstall dapper
[12:22] <nu> gdb: are you using gnome?
[12:22] <gdb> nu: Yes
[12:22] <Dodzey> and for anyone else who is listening
[12:23] <nu> gdb: xfce here. ive looked in System and Preferences, not there. hold on though. still looking
[12:23] <Tamale> godtvisken: Aterm with a shader value of 50 or so over a fractal background from blatte's backgrounds looks very nice  :)
[12:23] <Dodzey> odla: get alsa-oss from the repo's then run flock with 'aoss flock'
[12:23] <nu> Tamale: show screenshot =D
[12:23] <odla> Dodzey: sounds like a pretty easy fix :)
[12:23] <acojlo> hi, I can not play videos from cnn.com inside firefox
[12:24] <Dodzey> odla: if it works just change your launcher in /usr/share/apllications/ so its more 'permanent'
[12:24] <gdb> nu: Ah, that's right, I recall you mentioning that earlier.
[12:24] <odla> Dodzey: yeah...i'll just edit the gnome menu with alacarte
[12:24] <nu> gdb: ;)
[12:24] <Dodzey> odla: in firefox you can change a config file to use a different dsp so you dont need to load it with aoss, but im not sure how you do that in flock
[12:25] <unfun> how do I install totem xine torugh terminal?
[12:25] <odla> Dodzey: yup that worked
[12:25] <Seveas> unfun, sudo apt-get install totem-xine
[12:25] <troytroy> dont want to reinstall dapper
[12:25] <troytroy> hi mistakenl formated my windows patition which contains the grub boot loader and now system only detects windows os how do i correct this.
[12:26] <schicken> how do I run c++ programs after I compile them with g++
[12:26] <bob_> Does anyone know how to mount multiple windows partitions? I use this command ( sudo mount /dev/hdd1 /media/windows/ -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222 )but it only mounts one partition at a time. My two windows partitions show up as hdd1 and hdd5 when I do ( sudo fdisk ) command.
[12:26] <Seveas> schicken, ./app-name
[12:26] <Dodzey> odla: hopefully, someone will get flock / firefox to let you set it in the gui preferences cos its a little hidden otherwise
[12:26] <dooglus> bob_: you can separate shell commands with a semicolon
[12:26] <Seveas> bob_, then use the command twice, second time with hdd5 instead of hdd1
[12:26] <odla> Dodzey: so does firefox need to start with aoss firefox too?
[12:26] <schicken> thanks
[12:26] <bob_> oh thank you
[12:27] <dooglus> bob_: use a different directory in /media for the 2nd one, or it will be mounted over the first one
[12:27] <dooglus> bob_: "sudo mkdir /media/windows2" or something to make the 2nd directory
[12:27] <bob_> ok I'm trying right now
[12:28] <Dodzey> odla: yeah, but you can edit /etc/firefox/firefoxrc
[12:28] <simpo> hi! how to set vnc server using only SSH conection ?
[12:28] <CrazyDoode> good answer dooglus
[12:28] <Dodzey> odla: just change the line to FIREFOX_DSP="aoss"
[12:29] <Dodzey> odla: then you can just start firefox regularly
[12:29] <xsimo> salut  tous see ya guys later
[12:29] <odla> Dodzey: that's easy enough
[12:29] <odla> thanks
[12:29] <troytroy> hi i formated my  windows partition which has grub installed there and reinstall windows now dont see the boot menu again. how  do i get dapper back to boot menu?
[12:29] <bmonkey> i can't install xfonts-core through cd, because of a md5 error! apt-get tries the cd...... how do i tell apt-get to use the web??
[12:29] <Dodzey> odla: np
[12:29] <Dodzey> odla: anything for a flock'ster lmao
[12:29] <bob_> It working thank you very much
[12:29] <Tamale> still here nu?
[12:30] <deltoya> troytroy: try this -> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-76652.html
[12:30] <odla> Dodzey: yeah flock seems pretty cool
[12:30] <nu> Tamale: yes
[12:30] <Tamale> http://www.rage-board.com/files/tamale/fluxterm.png
[12:30] <linuxd00d> haha windoze sucks
[12:30] <valehru> quick question.  I added a new hard drive.  And through the disk manager I reset its boot path to /media/backup.  However when I restart the system it keeps defaulting to /tmp/somefolder.  This seems to be the default setting somewhere?  How can I make the change permenantly?
[12:31] <troytroy> deltoya: ok
[12:31] <Tamale> someone else was asking about transparent terminals too.
[12:31] <DanaG> !compiz

[12:32] <keiaah> Anyone know how to add fonts to wine?
[12:32] <odla> brb
[12:32] <Tamale> DanaG:  They were just wondering how you can make a transparent terminal.. not how to make EVERYTHING transparent  ;)
[12:32] <digitalhav0c> are the ubuntu repositories slow to anyone else today or is it just me?

[12:32] <Renan_s2> linuxd00d, amaroK
[12:32] <Xorlev> XMMS
[12:32] <Renan_s2> I don't see the point of having transparent stuff.
[12:32] <Tamale> linuxd00d: xmms is nice.
[12:32] <Boudi> mplayer as well

[12:33] <Boudi> it depends on what you want exactly with a GUI or not
[12:33] <bmonkey> with gui
[12:34] <linuxd00d> Tamale: i have tried to get XMMS but it says that i cant install it because it cant mount my CD drive :s
[12:34] <digitalhav0c> dodzey thanks

[12:36] <troytroy> linuxd00d: hold let me check if i can get u a script to install engines ..

[12:40] <linuxd00d> troytroy: yeah on all night
[12:40] <troytroy> linuxd00d: ok
[12:40] <eternaljoy> can I show someone my sources.list to tell me if its up topdate please?
[12:40] <eternaljoy> who here can have a quikc look?
[12:40] <trogbot> cdubya:  No not yet...still reading the bug report u pointed at...but it appears it was for winxp printer & not linux printer for win users.
[12:40] <cdubya> eternaljoy, pastebin.
[12:41] <nu> hey guys...
[12:41] <cdubya> trogbot, ahh....sorry....I just caught a few of the thread
[12:41] <DIguana> So does anyone know how to keep sshd from timing out on connections, or at least how to extend the timeout period to something like 30-60min?
[12:41] <nu> everytime i open the terminal, it opens really big. is there a way to make it remember the size it was when i last resize it?
[12:41] <qwerty> aloha
[12:42] <Dodzey> !register
[12:42] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[12:42] <svu> is there any repository with xgl/compiz .debs for ubuntu?
[12:42] <nathanial> hello. A little help please.
[12:42] <eternaljoy> cdmwebs: I pasted to you
[12:42] <Dodzey> svu:visit compiz.net for quinns packages
[12:42] <qwerty> to install dapper straight onto the hard drive, is it possible? do i have to boot with live option and then click install ?
[12:42] <stefg> !xgl
[12:42] <mcphail> DIguana: what are you connecting with?
[12:42] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[12:43] <Dodzey> svu: they are instructions on her forums on which repositories to use, i think she has the vanilla ones aswell, not sure
[12:43] <svu> Dodzey, thanks
[12:43] <trogbot> cdubya:  But it may still help...still mucking through it...i did notice though through other investigation, that about the time I installed Automatix and it changed the sources.list that stuff quit working.  maybe that had something to do with it???
[12:43] <tsume> wom 11
[12:43] <bmonkey> how do i start the giFT daemon???
[12:43] <nathanial> I just updated my UBUNTU and suddenly I'm running on EDUBUNTU. . .any thoughts????
[12:43] <Dodzey> nathanial: maybe its telling you its time to go back to school :p lol, only kidding
[12:44] <nathanial> haha. I finished college. that should be enough for now haha.
[12:44] <trogbot> cdubya: that was just before the updates were applied....does sources.list order have impact on where things get loaded from?
[12:44] <Dodzey> nathanial: complete edubuntu or just boot splash?
[12:44] <qwerty> does anyone elses dapper off live cd just CRAWL - using a dell inspiron 1.5 ghz, 256 ddr2 ram, just crashed trying to install onto hard drive
[12:44] <nathanial> Dedzey: my log in interface says "edubuntu"
[12:45] <nathanial> after I log in, my wallpaper is 'edubuntu' wallpaper
[12:45] <keiaah> qwerty, I had same problem. I used the alternate cd to install instead
[12:45] <trogbot> cdubya: Thinking about un-installing cups/samba...going back to my orig sources.list and reinstalling cups/samba...do you think that might help?
[12:45] <DIguana> mcphail: PuTTY, but it works fine for other servers.
[12:45] <qwerty> hmm keiaah -- its terrible isn't it, takes 5 mins to open up terminal window, is there a way to install from start without having to boot and then install
[12:46] <unfun> What should I install to get my sound to work? I just reformated ubuntu and my sound doesn't work.
[12:46] <keiaah> qwerty, use the alternate cd. its like the breezy install.
[12:46] <qwerty> keiaah thanks alot
[12:46] <qwerty> will go and try it now :)
[12:47] <keiaah> qwerty, no problem. I guess some hardware has problem with the live installer
[12:47] <mcphail> DIguana: putty has issues and can be configured to behave better and not time out. The issue is partly with the software, partly with Windows and partly with the network, by the looks of it.
[12:47] <linuxd00d> ... updates download faster than they install
[12:47] <DanaG> !amarok
[12:47] <ubotu> amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.1 and packages are available for Kubuntu at: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/amarok-1.4.1.php
[12:47] <FuriousRage> HAH, i robbed a friend of mine of one of his 100mbit nic's so now i sit in ubuntu AMD64 ;>
[12:48] <xed2> can anyone help with installing libavcodec2 ?
 i need it badly for zoneminder!
[12:48] <Seveas> !find libavcodec
[12:48] <ubotu> Found: libavcodec-dev
[12:48] <DanaG> Okay, how do I get more codecs in Amarok?
[12:48] <Seveas> !find avcodec
[12:48] <ubotu> Found: libavcodec-dev
[12:48] <Seveas> hmm
[12:49] <FurryNemesis> !find wm32codecs
[12:49] <ubotu> No packages matching 'wm32codecs' could be found
[12:49] <DanaG> just lib<whatever the codec is>?
[12:49] <cdubya> !restricted
[12:49] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[12:49] <xed2> thanks seavas
[12:50] <xed2> but libavcodec-dev isnt it ...
[12:50] <cdubya> DanaG, might check those links
[12:50] <gizmo_the_great1> hi. My 17 year old sister in law is staying with us for a week next week. I want her to be able to log in, use Firefox, aMSN etc, but pretty much nothing else. I've added her as a user, and de-selected many of the services that she can use. But she can still, for example, navigate to my own home folder. How can I quickly secure her account?
[12:50] <valehru> Is there a reason why this doesnt work in fstab? /dev/sdb	/media/backup	ext3    auto,user,umask=0  0    0
[12:51] <agliodbs> gizmo_the_great1: how about setting up a separate account for her?
[12:51] <gizmo_the_great1> agliodbs:   i've done that
[12:51] <agliodbs> oh, I see, you did that
you need to specify the partition ie sdb1 or 2 or whatever
[12:51] <eternaljoy> when I try to copy my audio CD using Sound Juicer, my drive spins very fast like crazy, but it copies at a very very slow rate.  Any ideas for a solution anyone?
[12:51] <agliodbs> how can she access your home folder?  She shouldn't have permissions
[12:51] <gizmo_the_great1> launches nautilus and navigates to it
[12:52] <nu> I just installed Conky though Synaptic. anyone know where it went?
[12:52] <aujordanh> gizmo_the_great1, she can't change anything though
[12:52] <rki> nu, type conky in a termninal
[12:52] <nu> rki: thanks.
[12:52] <gizmo_the_great1> agliodbs: Not tried that.  I was surprised that she was able to access at all
[12:52] <valehru> Dodzey, I thought I did when I stated /dev/sdb
[12:52] <valehru> ahh
[12:53] <valehru> gotcha
[12:53] <gizmo_the_great1> aujordanh: Not tried that.  I was surprised that she was able to access at all
[12:53] <FuriousRage> cant you set -r on others or something?
[12:53] <cdubya> nu, /usr/bin/conky
[12:53] <cdubya> perhaps
[12:53] <valehru> Dodzey, thx
[12:53] <skeff> my Amarok (1.4.1 from kubuntu) crashes when I try playing m4a files.  I have libxine-extracodecs if it matters, as the only enginge I can choose is xine.  Got solution to this?
[12:53] <gizmo_the_great1> aujordanh: could it be because I created a new user group called 'restrictedusers'?
[12:54] <gizmo_the_great1> aujordanh: I thought I could set permissions group wise but it seems I am not able to
[12:54] <cdubya> gizmo_the_great1, you can
[12:54] <gizmo_the_great1> cdubya: me been an idiot then :-) I not sure how to
[12:54] <aujordanh> gizmo_the_great1, i dont use groups and cant tell you about them, have you read the security pages at tdlp.org?
[12:54] <cdubya> gizmo_the_great1, np.....
[12:54] <FuriousRage> gizmo_the_great1: something like: sudo chmod g-r /home/yourfolder <-- not 100% sure tho
[12:54] <gizmo_the_great1> aujordanh: no - but i will
[12:55] <cdubya> gizmo_the_great1, what FuriousRage said.
[12:55] <cdubya> :)
[12:55] <cdubya> beat me to it
[12:55] <cdubya> heh
[12:55] <FuriousRage> cdubya: : wow did i get it right? O.o
[12:55] <cdubya> gizmo_the_great1, or you can use another method if it's easier for you to remember
[12:55] <Plouj> I'm gonna re-state my question
[12:55] <eternaljoy> HELP: when I try to copy my audio CD using Sound Juicer, my drive spins very fast like crazy, but it copies at a very very slow rate.  Any ideas for a solution anyone?
[12:55] <darthbator> hey guys has anyone noticed any strange window placement stuff with mplayer and compiz?
[12:55] <Plouj> is this what your boot loader looks like, guys? http://sh.nu/p/2595
[12:55] <cdubya> gizmo_the_great1, owner-group-world
[12:56] <eternaljoy> any other program besides Sound Juicer?
[12:56] <_priest> eternaljoy: gnomebaker
[12:56] <linuxd00d> guys please tell troytroy that i am restarting my Laptop if he asks for me please,
[12:56] <valehru> Dodzey, I rebooted and no success....here is what is in fstab: /dev/sdb1	/media/backup	ext3    auto,user,umask=0  0    0
[12:56] <nu> cdubya: got it. thanks
[12:56] <gizmo_the_great1> cdubya: i confused. What is 'owner-group-world'? It says command not found?
[12:56] <cdubya> gizmo_the_great1, so if you chmod 755, then you're setting the owner to have read-write-execute (the 7), the group to read-execute (the 5) and the world to read-execute (the 5)
[12:56] <troytroy> linuxd00d: ok :)
[12:56] <unfun> !sound
[12:56] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[12:56] <linuxd00d> lol
[12:56] <Dodzey> valehru make sure that you have made that /media/storage/ folder
[12:57] <cdubya> gizmo_the_great1, I was using that as an example to explain it to you. sorry for the confusion.
[12:57] <valehru> Dodzey, it exists
[12:57] <FuriousRage> hmm, i got a question my self, does cedega and/or wine come for AMD64 kernels? or do i need some chroot for those?
[12:57] <eternaljoy> _priest: gnomebacker copies audio CD's?
[12:57] <agliodbs> hmmm
[12:57] <gizmo_the_great1> cdubya: i gotchya
[12:57] <Boudi> yes it copies audio CD's
[12:57] <agliodbs> do I partition both disks to match exactly first
[12:57] <cdubya> gizmo_the_great1, so if you have a folder that you want to allow access to, just ask yourself who you want to have permissions and what level
[12:57] <agliodbs> and then set up SW RAID?
[12:57] <DanaG> I can't find  libxine-extracodecs
[12:57] <_priest> eternaljoy: it all interfaces with the cdrecord tools i think
[12:57] <Dodzey> valehru: what privelages?
[12:57] <cdubya> gizmo_the_great1, then assign it using the number.....
[12:57] <_priest> so whatever the limits are with cdrecord
[12:58] <agliodbs> I'm used to doing it the other way
[12:58] <darthbator> DanaG: you need to enable the multiverse repositories to get that one
[12:58] <valehru> you mean the person that edits that file? sudo /etc/fstab
[12:58] <valehru> Dodzey, you mean the person that edits that file? sudo /etc/fstab
[12:58] <eduard> anywabody has any issues installing kqemu?
[12:58] <cdubya> gizmo_the_great1, so if I want to have full privs myself and full for my group, the I might do something like sudo chmod 775 /home/my_folder
[12:58] <Dodzey> valehru: check to make sure that in /media you actually have a folder called backup
[12:58] <valehru> Dodzey, yes I do.
[12:59] <cdubya> gizmo_the_great1, and if you want that permission set to apply to all subdirs, just add a -R flag for recursion
[12:59] <nu> hezus. linux takes a while to get it exactly how you want =D
[12:59] <gizmo_the_great1> cdubya: easier still, i think, is I've changed permissions to read\write for the owner and group of my home folder (my username is in the group) and deselcted read and write for 'others' using nautilus
[12:59] <eduard> I already installed qemu but I need kqemu for better "speed"
[12:59] <cdubya> gizmo_the_great1, hey, whatever works for you. :)
[12:59] <FuriousRage> hmm, i got a question my self, does cedega and/or wine come for AMD64 kernels? or do i need some chroot for those?
[12:59] <unfun> !rpm
[12:59] <ubotu> rpm is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous).
[12:59] <cdubya> I'm all about what's easiest and effective
[12:59] <valehru> Dodzey, is that fstab entry correct?
[12:59] <Dodzey> valehru: paste your fstab line for that mount again
[12:59] <unfun> !alien
[12:59] <ubotu> rpm is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous).
[01:00] <valehru> np
[01:00] <gizmo_the_great1> cdubya: i will su and see if it has worked - back in a bit
[01:00] <keiaah> Ok, I solved the font problem in wine by instaling mscorefonts. Still, there seems like Im missing some fonts, I couldnt read the licence agreement. Any ideas?
[01:00] <valehru> Dodzey, /dev/sdb1	/media/backup	ext3    auto,user,umask=0  0    0
[01:00] <acojlo> so, totem-xine has a problem with firefox. no problem - mplayer is doing the job!
[01:00] <cpk2> keiaah: what program?
[01:01] <keiaah> cpk2, I am installing WoW
[01:01] <_priest> keiaah: all you need is tahoma.ttf
[01:01] <_priest> place that in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts i think
[01:01] <keiaah> _priest, where do I find them?
[01:01] <_priest> keiaah: search google for tahoma.tt
[01:01] <_priest> tahoma.ttf
[01:01] <keiaah> ok, thanks
[01:01] <Dodzey> valehru, seems ok, but my mind aint on the ball this evening heh....try 'sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/backup' in a terminal
[01:02] <svu> Dodzey, but this repo is for dapper. Is there such a thing for edgy?
[01:02] <_priest> anyone upgrade to gnome 2.14.3 yea
[01:02] <_priest> it apparently needs me to restart the system for gnome updates :\
[01:02] <Narf> why not just restart gnome ?
[01:02] <alecks> whats the latest version of cgwd?
[01:02] <Dodzey> svu: there is, i think, but im not sure where you will find it, maybe have a look on the compiz forums for people using edgy, or try on ubuntuforums
[01:02] <_priest> Narf: well yea i know but the notification is telling me to restart the system :X
[01:02] <_priest> seems kinda windowish to me
[01:03] <TheGame> ya _priest i have the new gnome
[01:03] <gizmo_the_great1> cdubya: yep - that has worked :-). I liked your way because it looks fancy. But my way was easier, lol
[01:03] <Narf> huh
[01:03] <valehru> Dodzey, that does the trick...but I want it done each time I reboot
[01:03] <Narf> I've never had such an issue
[01:03] <gizmo_the_great1> cdubya: she now gets permission denied
[01:03] <_priest> Narf: really?
[01:03] <darthbator> I was thinking about upgrading gnome right now =P
[01:03] <Narf> yep
[01:03] <_priest> hmm i didnt update any kernel so not sure why its asking me to restart
[01:03] <Dodzey> valehru, ok so there is something wrong with you fstab line, but i aint sure what, sorry
[01:03] <FuriousRage> ive got those restart system message boxes too
[01:03] <TheGame> u probably did get a new kernel
[01:03] <darthbator> looks like there's a new compiz as well :)
[01:03] <TheGame> there was a new one real recently
[01:03] <eduard> anybody with qemu and kqemu?
[01:04] <TheGame> theres a new compiz?
[01:04] <eduard> :D
[01:04] <Dodzey> valehru - just try 'sudo umount -a' then sudo mount -a
[01:04] <svu> Dodzey, ok, thanks, I will. It seems edgy is moving forward so fast that xgl builders cannot catch up...:)
[01:04] <_priest> ah crap
[01:04] <TheGame> what is the name of the compiz pckg
[01:04] <_priest> TheGame: i did and didnt notice
[01:04] <yoshiznit123> could anybody explain (or point me to docs about) how to go about installing ubuntu on raid?
[01:04] <RunUO22748> how much space does the LAMP install take up?
[01:04] <_priest> Setting up linux-image-2.6.15-26-386 (2.6.15-26.46) .
[01:04] <_priest> hehe
[01:04] <DanaG> I don't like this other Compiz.
[01:04] <Narf> yeah
[01:04] <_priest> this is why i steer away from using the gui to update
[01:04] <DanaG> The cube rotation is more awkward.
[01:04] <Narf> I already set it up last night
[01:04] <mads> hej Tomze
[01:04] <Narf> but I don't want to reboot
[01:04] <MikeW> Hello guys. Do you guys know who is in charge of administring the wiki, or the team that make wiki decisions?
[01:05] <TheGame> DanaG: xgl and compiz are awesome
[01:05] <Narf> so I'll just wait for the power company to do it for me :D
[01:05] <Dodzey> valehru just something that may sound daft, but it is formatted as ext3 right?
[01:05] <RunUO22748> MikeW check the.. wiki :)
[01:05] <darthbator> compiz 0.0.13-0quinn27
[01:05] <valehru> just got this error
[01:05] <cdubya> heh
[01:05] <valehru> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
[01:05] <valehru>        missing codepage or other error
[01:05] <gizmo_the_great1> cdubya: what's better still is that all my mount mounts to my other drives were set in a folder in my home directory. And so denying other users access to it they can't access any of my drives either! Rock on!
[01:05] <Tomze> mads: f !
[01:05] <valehru> yeah...I could have sworn it was ext3
[01:05] <DanaG> Quinn's one or the vanilla?
[01:05] <cdubya> gizmo_the_great1, kewl. :)
[01:05] <Dodzey> valehru: make sure :)
[01:05] <TheGame> is there a way to update my existing compiz darthbator
[01:05] <valehru> haha
[01:05] <DanaG> Their config files break each other.
[01:05] <acojlo> how to tell totem to use "x11 or xshm" instead of "xv or xvmc or xxmc" ?
[01:06] <Narf> anyway, I came here to ask - is there some way to disable the shutdown button, under the "Quit" item in the main menu ?
[01:06] <Dodzey> valehru: haha?
[01:06] <eternaljoy> _priest: gnomebaker doesnt copy audio CD's
[01:06] <TheGame> Narf:  i dont think s
[01:06] <TheGame> o
[01:06] <DanaG> Also, there's an unsatisfiable dependency on a newer cgwd.
[01:06] <valehru> Dodzey, disk manager app recognises it as Extended 3
[01:06] <darthbator> what where the changes in the new compiz I just installed it and window resizing is still slow, or ugly
[01:06] <Narf> :/
[01:06] <Narf> It bugs me to hell
[01:06] <_priest> eternaljoy: therees a big button at the top that says copy audio cd's
[01:06] <darthbator> and my mplayer still keeps deciding to put itself off the screen =P
[01:06] <linuxd00d> troytroy: im back, lol
[01:06] <DanaG> I want window snapping but not wobbling.
[01:07] <Narf> I don't want somebody to be able to shutdown my computer
[01:07] <TheGame> ya window resizing needs to improve
[01:07] <DanaG> I still see no extracodecs.
[01:07] <troytroy> linuxd00d: ok
[01:07] <mate_> good morning all.. i'm having some serious troubles getting my ati 9600 mobility drivers working .... i've checked all the faqs and forums and still grief.. anyone with any suggestions?
[01:07] <TheGame> buy an nvidia card
[01:07] <FuriousRage> i used partition magic 8 in windows to resize win parition down for linux dual boot ^
[01:07] <mate_> hehehe
[01:07] <MikeW> Will xgl be bundled with edgy?
[01:07] <TheGame> if it is stable
[01:07] <mate_> i have a laptop....
[01:08] <TheGame> FuriousRage: what help do u need
[01:08] <troytroy> linuxd00d: am having problem loading driver for mass storage drive: contains some customized scripts to automates some of these procc..
[01:08] <FuriousRage> hmm, i got a question my self, does cedega and/or wine come for AMD64 kernels? or do i need some chroot for those?
[01:08] <troytroy> linuxd00d: pls be with u soon ok
[01:08] <DanaG> Look at rage3d.com/board -- it's an ATI fan site forum.
[01:08] <DanaG> Perhaps something there can be helpful.
[01:08] <mcphail> FuriousRage: chroot
[01:08] <mate_> DanaG, thanks i'll shout over there and have a look now. Appreciated!
[01:08] <linuxd00d> troytroy, sok take your time
[01:09] <Narf> one more thing
[01:09] <valehru> Dodzey, I don't want to spam the channel so I just want your opinion on this error message
[01:09] <FuriousRage> mmkay, gonna look up an choot guide for dummies and see if i can get wine working
[01:09] <Dodzey> valehru: ....
[01:09] <darthbator> no extracodecs still? I found it when I added deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe multiverse
[01:10] <Narf> wine uses some huge font to display text, how can I change that? I didn't have this issue in 5.*
[01:10] <valehru> Dodzey, thats the error Im getting from it...
[01:11] <agliodbs> ok, I'm trying to set up SW raid on ubuntu server, and I can't figure out how to format the raid volume
[01:11] <agliodbs> there's no option for it
[01:11] <darthbator> I assume at least a few of you guys here are using XGL+compiz what media players are you guys using?
[01:11] <nu> whats the terminal command to delete a file?
[01:11] <FuriousRage> darthbator: vlc wins all the way for me
[01:11] <darthbator> rm
[01:11] <nu> darthbator: thanks
[01:11] <darthbator> be carefull ;)
[01:12] <nu> will do!
[01:12] <nu> Ok
[01:12] <nu> while at it
[01:12] <nu> when trying to delete something from the bin dir
[01:12] <nu> it wont let me because im not root
[01:12] <DanaG> aah, I didn't have that one.
[01:12] <nu> so i have to open a terminal and do it with sudo
[01:12] <darthbator> sudo <command>
[01:12] <nu> any easier way?
[01:12] <Dr_Willis> nu,  that is the easy way. :P
[01:12] <nu> LOL
[01:12] <nu> that makes me sad lol =(
[01:12] <Dr_Willis> nu,  the shell is  good... love the shell.. live the shell..
[01:12] <livingdaylig> how do i check pixels on the monitor?
[01:13] <Dr_Willis> concise and to the point. :P whats not to love
[01:13] <FuriousRage> Dr_Willis: fill up gas at shell!
[01:13] <Dr_Willis> FuriousRage,  put a tiger in your tank!
[01:13] <Dr_Willis> :P
[01:13] <nu> Dr_Willis: everytime i start the terminal, its really big. how can i make it so it remembers the size when resize it?
[01:13] <livingdaylig> anyone know? how do people check pixels on monitors?
[01:14] <FuriousRage> hmm wounder if i need to get some drivers or something for my HP vs19x flatpanel tft, or if it works outta the box
[01:14] <DanaG> You just need the scan ranges.
[01:15] <nu> FuriousRage: i have that exact same monitor
[01:15] <ardchoille> nu: gnome terminal?  launch gnome terminal as:  gnome-terminal --geometry 90x40 or some size that you like.
[01:15] <FuriousRage> nu: in windows i can see that upper left corner is darker then lower right, same on yours or is mine "broken"? ;>
[01:15] <nu> FuriousRage: yours is broken
[01:16] <nu> FuriousRage: =( lol
[01:16] <FuriousRage> in  ubuntu i cant really tell tho ;>
[01:16] <nu> FuriousRage: this is ficiton btw. we talked yesterday i think
[01:16] <nu> ardchoille: no, im using xterm
[01:16] <FuriousRage> nu: ya, was in here all day trying to get my nforce 4 nic to work with any linux ;>
[01:16] <nu> FuriousRage: lol
[01:17] <ardchoille> nu: read man xterm and see if there is a "geometry" setting in there
[01:17] <ardchoille> lol
[01:17] <troytroy> linuxd00d: ok am rebboting think problem is solved now brb
[01:17] <owen_> I need help installing java through the repositories
[01:18] <nu> ardchoille: alright. will do. thanks
[01:18] <NZvip> How do I tell my Ubuntu to stop launching Rhythmbox when I insert my iPod?
[01:18] <owen_> what command  do i use to install java?
[01:18] <cpk2> !sunjava
[01:18] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[01:18] <NZvip> Cause frankly, it is freaking annoying.
[01:18] <valehru> Dodzey, ...working perfectly
[01:18] <valehru> Dodzey, thanks for your help
[01:18] <owen_> thank you
[01:18] <Dodzey> valehru: cool
[01:18] <nu> also, is there a program that detects keyboard inputs and show their values? i wanna set some of my keyboard's navigation buttons as some shortcuts. Gnome detected it fine, but not xfce
[01:19] <Dodzey> valehru: np, make use of that 300gb and backup your backup haha, can neer have too many backups
[01:19] <FuriousRage> oh btw, how can i change the settings for my mouse so middle (scroll) = double click? now it seams to send active program to the back
[01:19] <Dodzey> never*
[01:19] <valehru> Dodzey, yeah...well...Im going to invest in a second 300GB and get a nice Raid up and running
[01:20] <valehru> Dodzey, If one Raid disk goes down does that mean I still lose all the data?
[01:20] <salah> what tool should I use to burn a avi/mpg file to a DVD? the mpg files don't have any copy protectio
[01:20] <Dodzey> valehru: it depends what RAID you use
[01:20] <valehru> 0?
[01:20] <kyle_> whats a good program for downloading mp3s with Ubuntu?
[01:20] <FuriousRage> itunes?
[01:21] <Dodzey> valehru: yeah, if one goes down you'll loose the lot
[01:21] <chombee> Hey folks - what package do I need to be able to burn OGG files with gnomebaker?
[01:21] <gekko`> kyle_: limewire
[01:21] <kyle_> limewire
[01:21] <kyle_> cool thanks
[01:22] <DanaG> hmm, shortcuts?
[01:22] <DanaG> Look into lineak
[01:22] <DanaG> lineakd
[01:22] <DanaG> argh, I can't figure out how to change my KDE style to match my GTK.
[01:22] <valehru> hmm...well...RAID 1 it will have to be
[01:23] <RunUO22748> what would make for an easier PrintServer Samba or CUPS?
[01:23] <Dodzey> valehru: you should maybe use the RAID that lets you use two 300gb's and it writes to both disks at the same time, you only get 300gb instead of 600 but it means you have safety
[01:23] <skymox> http://arbs2day.com/files/lebanon.htm
[01:23] <DanaG> ooh, here's a nice thing to do: sudo bash.
[01:23] <skymox> the war :s
[01:23] <Dodzey> valehru - yeah RAID 1 i think, i can't remember haha
[01:23] <Dodzey> valehru here - http://www.acnc.com/04_01_02.html
[01:24] <Dodzey> valehru: wrong link :) http://www.acnc.com/04_01_01.html
[01:24] <lmosher> Physical security isn't a concern for my laptop, but making things simple for my wife is... Is there a way to make the login screen look more like windows? I.E. just click a picture and you log in?
[01:24] <Dodzey> valehru: there you go
[01:24] <DanaG> Is there any way to get rid of the wobbly but keep the window snapping?
[01:24] <valehru> Dodzey, thanks a million
[01:24] <jmichaelx> skymox: may God have mercy on us....
[01:25] <RunUO22748> what would make for an easier PrintServer Samba or CUPS?
[01:26] <Dodzey> valehru: np RAID always confused me, i should probably read that myself...haha
[01:26] <urakaipa> hello there i'm really in trouble.. there's some expert in partition table recovery?
[01:26] <DanaG> Oh, I have done some.
[01:26] <DanaG> Try a utility called Ultimate Boot CD.
[01:26] <valehru> Dodzey, lol....yeah ... I never looked into it myself...but its a nice solution
[01:27] <DanaG> There's one utility (I forget the name) that says "partition saving and recovery"
[01:27] <ardchoille> partimage?
[01:28] <ardchoille> !partimage
[01:28] <ubotu> I know nothing about partimage - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:28] <Dodzey> valehru : someone set up a software based RAID array using usb floppy disk drives, i think i read about it on hack-a-day
[01:28] <DanaG> No, it was something similar to checkdisk, but not quite.
[01:28] <[LON] FoxiMaxi> Hi, I hope someone can help me here. I am trying to install Ubuntu 6.06 on an Acer 4102WLMI (widescreen ATI X700) notebook. When I select Install or Run Ubuntu in the boot screen, everything is okay until the gdm starts. Instead of a desktop, I got a blank (black) screen and nothing happens. I can work without problems in the console, so only the X has some problems. Can someone help ? PM me, plea
[01:28] <[LON] FoxiMaxi> se if you can.
[01:28] <eternaljoy> were there any Dapper updates released in the last 24 hours, eg, gstreamer?
[01:29] <nu> anyone know where the conky config file is by any chance?
[01:29] <urakaipa> thx DanaG but in fact it seems to be hard: I had a reiserfs for my home, it was behind a software raid1
[01:29] <livingdaylig> ok, Guys, got this new monitor but now it wont let the screensaver kick in, wazzup with that?
[01:30] <urakaipa> because of windows, the partition table completely change and i'm not able to scan the drive for searching the old filesystem
[01:30] <nemlah> Hello all
[01:30] <nemlah> i tried changing from gnome to kde
[01:31] <nemlah> but i am having some screen problems
[01:31] <urakaipa> it seems that because of the raid, the filesystem header was not phisically written on the disk
[01:31] <nemlah> in kde i can pane my view
[01:31] <FuriousRage> hmm, wounder when my gpu fan is gonna spin down like it does in windows when its not used by a game or so
[01:31] <nemlah> like i am viewing a smaller portion of the overall larger then my monitor view
[01:32] <dario314> Hi guys. Mine is not so much an Ubuntu problem as a GRUB problem. "GRUB hard disk error," probably because the BIOS doesn't support more than 8GB and there are no BIOS updates.
[01:32] <Dr_Willis> dario314,  ya could put the /boot partition on the very start of the hard drive. below cylinder 1023  (i think) may help
[01:32] <dario314> Can I load Ubuntu with LILO?
[01:33] <Dr_Willis> Or ya could install LILO perhaps.. but not sure if that will help
[01:33] <dario314> I tried that. I have a 100MB /boot at the start of the drive.
[01:33] <owen_> what is a good p2p filesharing network client (not torrents) that I can install using apt-get install?
[01:33] <Dr_Willis> if the /boot thing dont work - Im thinking ya got some other issues..
[01:33] <scrappy_> owen_: frostwire or amule are most popular i think
[01:33] <livingdaylig> Hi, Guys, mine is not so much an Ubuntu problem as a monitor problem. I got a new monitor (videoseven 19"tft) but now the screensaver doesn't work like it used to
[01:33] <Dr_Willis> or it maybe over cylinder 1023
[01:33] <eternaljoy> I did an update today, and it tells me I need to update  base-files cupsys cupsys-bsd cupsys-client gstreamer0.10-alsa etc. Is that correct?
[01:33] <owen_> alright, thank you
[01:34] <dario314> Can I check that somehow? I just made /boot at the start of the drive, just 100MB
[01:34] <Dr_Willis> fdisk the drive and see what cylinders the partitions are on.
[01:34] <Dr_Willis> sudo fdisk -l
[01:34] <livingdaylig> Can someone comment or advise me on the monitor situation?
[01:34] <Dr_Willis> 'doesn't work like it used to'  is vague.
[01:35] <livingdaylig> Does the screensaver function not work on modern monitors?
[01:35] <livingdaylig> bruceWillis, any idea?
[01:35] <lmosher> Physical security isn't a concern for my laptop, but making things simple for my wife is... Is there a way to make the login screen look more like windows? I.E. just click a picture and you log in?
[01:35] <Dodzey> livingdaylig: it may be your monitor switching to standby before the screensaver comes on
[01:36] <livingdaylig> Dodzey: hmmm...what can i do about that?
[01:36] <scrappy_> lmosher: sudo gdmsetup
[01:36] <agliodbs> FYI: I just tried to use Ubuntu's RAID paritioner.  I'm going back to SuSE
[01:36] <Dr_Willis> lmosher,  gdm has options for auto logging in and so on. check the gdm control panel thing. perhaps.
[01:36] <Dodzey> livingdaylig: ie, having a 20minute standby but only having screensaver after 25mins would obviously act wierd
[01:36] <scrappy_> lmosher: google for gdm themes you can prob find a windows one :)
[01:36] <[Wiebel] > hmm
[01:36] <[Wiebel] > how can I enable framebuffer in ubuntu ?
[01:36] <[Wiebel] > I don't have /dev/fb0 now
[01:36] <Dr_Willis> [Wiebel] ,  it should of been enabled by default
[01:37] <Dodzey> livingdaylig: how long do you have to leave your monitor before it goes into standby?
[01:37] <[Wiebel] > Dr_Willis: I disabled the splash screen
[01:37] <[Wiebel] > on boot
[01:37] <davey_> wiebel, it's a kernal command
[01:37] <lmosher> scrappy_, Dr_Willis I was playing with that... but the thing is I need two users :(
[01:37] <livingdaylig> about 5 mins
[01:37] <Dr_Willis> [Wiebel] ,  with nosplash?
[01:37] <[Wiebel] > davey_: module you mean?
[01:37] <[Wiebel] > Dr_Willis: no
[01:37] <[Wiebel] > removing the grub line
[01:37] <[Wiebel] > let me see
[01:37] <davey_> wiebel, just go to grub and change your boot to have fb in it
[01:37] <delaney> will livecds for ubuntu 5.10 run on an intel macbook?
[01:37] <[Wiebel] > davey_: how exactly?
[01:38] <davey_> and if you want no spsh put "nospash"
[01:38] <[Wiebel] > kernel          /vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-686 root=/dev/hda9 ro quiet splash
[01:38] <livingdaylig> Dodzey: about 5mins which is how it is set on screensaver in System/Preference/Screensaver
[01:38] <davey_> hit e when you see the line of the kernel
[01:38] <[Wiebel] > I removed the "splash" line
[01:38] <Dodzey> livingdaylig: goto system >> prefs >> power management and set your standby to something sensible, whatever you want, then set your screensaver delay to something less than that
[01:38] <lmosher> scrappy_, Dr_Willis, I suppose I -could- have it auto login for her in like 10 secs so I'd have to enter my user/pw, but for my particular needs the "windows" way is actually better. Is that not possible?
[01:38] <davey_> woene;. tjat wpm't woprk
[01:38] <davey_> webel, you have to tell it specificaly nospash
[01:38] <[Wiebel] > ok
[01:38] <[Wiebel] > instead of splash?
[01:38] <davey_> right
[01:38] <Dodzey> livingdaylig: its the "put display to sleep when the computer is innactive for :" option
[01:39] <livingdaylig> Dodzey: ok, but just to say, it wasn't an issue before on my preious monitor, so...
[01:39] <scrappy_> lmosher: something like this? http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1232&sid=f39933bbf793e08e67a1e617dd5a11e9
[01:39] <Dodzey> livingdaylig: not really sure then...sorry
[01:39] <owen_> what is a shortcut to open the terminal window?
[01:39] <davey_> can someone tell me about the program inkspape, I can't seem to figure it out, i know it's off toppic but I really just need help finding how to change a style, something very simpl,e i've read most of the inkscape wiki and the top pages on google and asked on the inkcape channel 5 times with no responce if anyone knows please tell me
[01:40] <[Wiebel] > davey_: bootsplash = framebuffer, right?
[01:40] <davey_> wiebel, to be honest I have just disabled it before
[01:40] <livingdaylig> Dodzey: its set to 30mins, but it goes off after 5 when the screensaver should kick in
[01:40] <davey_> I have used "nofb" to get ti not to load so I figured it would be fb
[01:41] <lmosher> scrappy_, yeah I'll keep looking - apparently some themes have that. thanks :)
[01:41] <[Wiebel] > hmm hmm
[01:41] <Dodzey> livingdaylig: into standby?
[01:41] <DanaG> Oh, for the auto-login....
[01:41] <davey_> I've spent over an hour reading the wiki and i still can't remove a border on the pen tool... this is rediculose, I don't know how anyone can learn these new programs.
[01:41] <DanaG> Try using the "classic with face browser" and then make a passwordless login.
[01:41] <livingdaylig> Dodzey: yes
[01:41] <urakaipa> hi there, some expert in partition recovery/disk scan and so on?
[01:41] <Dr_Willis> lmosher,  no idea.. my wife can handle the idea of typing in her name. :P or clicking on her icon.
[01:41] <davey_> urakaipa, whats your problem
[01:42] <Dr_Willis> lmosher,  or ya could make her user not have any password.
[01:42] <Dodzey> livingdaylig: thats odd....checked your monitors menu for any daft settings?
[01:42] <livingdaylig> Dodzey: don't know what to check for?
[01:42] <Dodzey> livingdayligim not sure why they would affect that though
[01:42] <Dodzey> livingdaylig hmm.....try a different screensaver
[01:43] <davey_> livindayligim, may have a 3d graphics problem
[01:43] <davey_> livingdayligim, are you on ati?
[01:43] <Dodzey> livingdaylig if your using a GL screensaver try another
[01:43] <livingdaylig> davey_: i have integrated graphics onboard
[01:43] <Linuturk> !LAMP
[01:43] <ubotu> lamp is a shortcut for Linux-Apache-Mysql-{PHP,Perl,Python}. To setup a LAMP server on Ubuntu, install the packages libapache2-mod-php5, php5-mysql, and mysql-server-5.0. You can also choose 'install a LAMP server' from the server install cd boot menu. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[01:44] <lmosher> Dr_Willis, clicking on icon is what I'm going for :P
[01:44] <Dodzey> livingdaylig intel integrated?
[01:44] <davey_> livingdaylig, the chip is still made by someone, go to terminal and type glxgears
[01:44] <[Wiebel] > still no /dev/fb0 :(
[01:44] <livingdaylig> davey_: as i was saying it used to work no problem with my previous monitor
[01:44] <Linuturk> are those lamp packages upto date?
[01:44] <Linuturk> the most recent?
[01:44] <davey_> wiebel, if you really want it , you can reconfig  your graphics card and hit yes to that question if you have time
[01:45] <Dodzey> livingdaylig updated since?
[01:45] <[Wiebel] > davey_: how can I do that?
[01:45] <livingdaylig> davey_: i don't have 3d graphics so don't work
[01:45] <davey_> wiebel, 2 ways eather edit your xserver.conf with nano or use the graphicals one
[01:45] <[Wiebel] > davey_: i'm not going to use Xorg with framebuffer
[01:45] <davey_> livingdaylig, then unfortunatly you can not run open gl screensavers
[01:46] <davey_> wiebel? what are you using then?
[01:46] <Plouj> yo
[01:46] <[Wiebel] > some app which is using /dev/fb0 directly
[01:46] <Plouj> is this what your boot loader looks like, guys? http://sh.nu/p/2595
[01:46] <davey_> xfreesomething or other stuff?
[01:46] <[Wiebel] > I have it on an boot cd
[01:46] <[Wiebel] > other stuff
[01:46] <[Wiebel] > the boot cd is linux 2.4
[01:46] <[Wiebel] > with viafb
[01:46] <[Wiebel] > works like a charm
[01:46] <DanaG> WTF?  Shift-backspace kills X?
[01:46] <livingdaylig> davey_: well it was before on the previous monitor, at least some of the screensavers
[01:46] <[Wiebel] > can't get it to work on ubuntu though
[01:47] <livingdaylig> Dodzey: update, sure
[01:47] <DanaG> Oh, and all of my consoles are completely black.
[01:47] <davey_> weibel, humm.... all I know is that you can sudo dpackage reconfigure (something like that) but I think it only works with xorg
[01:47] <DanaG> And I can't find any good QT themes to fit in with Human.
[01:47] <davey_> livingdaylig, sometimes the monitors arn't picked up in linux, the diffrentce in what you set it up as and what it uses
[01:47] <Dodzey> livingdaylig it might well be 3d related as davey said, maybe an update broke your 3d drivers
[01:48] <superm1> could someone think of a non-ubuntu live disk that allows installation of packages to just test out - say lirc?  I don't have a hard drive on this machine, and need to verify whether I have an ubuntu related problem or lirc related problem
[01:48] <davey_> dodzey, he doens't have 3d I think he just wants 2d screensavers but the monirot won't let him if I undrstand correctly
[01:48] <livingdaylig> davey_: that correct
[01:48] <Dodzey> davey_:okay, sorry, i got dc'd missed a bit of the conv
[01:49] <DanaG> I know on my desktop (not my current machine), I had to manually specify scan rates.
[01:49] <davey_> livingdaylig, ok I think it has to do with the configed resolution and/or the flicker rate that your graphics card is sendig to your monitor
[01:49] <urakaipa> hi davey_ the problem is that windows modified the partition table and i lost all my linux partitions which were behind singles software raid (made with mdadm)
[01:49] <sethk> software raid isn't really raid.  obviously, here.
[01:49] <urakaipa> i start scanning the drives with gpart but no one of these partition comes up
[01:49] <DanaG> It picked up the Viewsonic P95F+ as a P95F, which actually has a higher scan range (I guess the + means cheaper.)
[01:49] <livingdaylig> davey_: arf...
[01:50] <Linuturk> you can't define which screensavers are not included in random anymore?
[01:50] <sethk> DanaG, I've never made sense out of the viewsonic numbers, but I think some of them are cosmetic differences.
[01:50] <davey_> urakaipa, ic, the data is still there just not visible... unfortunatly I am not an expert on that , BUt I can tell you try to lay off the use of that drive in the affect you might corrupt your data, sorry I can't be of help but there are companies that can fix that for you but make sure you spefify it's a linux partition if you really need the tata
[01:50] <sethk> DanaG, although that wouldn't seem to apply here.
[01:51] <ehazlett> would anyone like to try out a live cd creator?  i am looking for some feedback...
[01:52] <jmichaelx> in many cases, when i try to view embedded streaming video, i can get the audio, but where the video should be, i just have a black box that says 'no picture'. would anyone have an idea what i need to do to get this fixed?
[01:52] <Dodzey> ehazlett....possibly, ill have some freetime tommorow...
[01:52] <davey_> ehazlett, alright, I'll try ti out later on email me some time antigenic
[01:52] <sethk> ehazlett, sure
[01:52] <davey_> @ gmail ,com
[01:52] <urakaipa> yep sethk, but as far as i know could be that the filesystem header was different that the real one (0xfd for software raid) and i think that software like gpart canno scan for this
[01:52] <A[D] minS> how i can install all amsn-deps
[01:52] <nathanial> hello folks. A little help please.
[01:52] <A[D] minS> ?
[01:53] <sethk> urakaipa, that's possible.  It would be easy enough to change that byte, and also easy to look at it.
[01:53] <davey_> admins, quick question did you try apt-get or synaptic
[01:53] <Dodzey> ehazlett : dodzey [at]  gmail.com
[01:53] <nathanial> I'm using easyUbuntu to install my media/NVIDIA/etc. packages.
[01:53] <Dodzey> nathanial : whats up?
[01:53] <davey_> I'm going to go all bye
[01:54] <nathanial> and I'm getting an "error. fix broken packages first" when trying to install the "Videos: Enable viewing videos embedded in webpages with totem"
[01:54] <A[D] minS> devhen: i want to compile last amsn_dev
[01:54] <ehazlett> cool...  for anyone who is interested...  http://reconstructor.aperantis.com  thanks...
[01:54] <Dodzey> hmm.....have you already tried installing totem codecs?
[01:54] <A[D] minS> thats why want to install only dep packages like tcl-dev
[01:54] <eigenlambda> nathanial: that would probably happen if you were trying to install anything, right?
[01:54] <nathanial> no. everything else was fine.
[01:55] <nathanial> this is the only 'package' I can't install
[01:55] <nathanial> Dodzey, I do have totem installed.
[01:55] <sethk> nathanial, that doesn't matter, unless after seeing the error you've tried to install something else
[01:55] <sethk> nathanial, because the most recent install may have corrupted the database
[01:55] <sethk> nathanial, or may not have completed properly
[01:55] <nathanial> therefore??
[01:55] <nathanial> what is a walkaround?
[01:56] <sethk> nathanial, therefore, try to install something else, to see if it is a general problem or really specific to that package
[01:56] <eigenlambda> try `dpkg -l | grep -v ii`
[01:56] <sethk> nathanial, you mean workaround?  there is a dpkg command to repair the errors
[01:56] <eigenlambda> see what isn't fully installed
[01:56] <nathanial> how to go about doing that?
[01:56] <sethk> nathanial, start with what eigenlambda just said
[01:57] <budluva> anyone here had any luck installing qtorrent?
[01:57] <budluva> i think its a broken package, and it's telling me to file a bug, how do i do that?
[01:57] <nathanial> I can install other programs. It seems to be specific to this one option.
[01:57] <Dr_Willis> budluva,  qtorrent just installed for me.
[01:58] <Dr_Willis> budluva,  and it runs
[01:58] <sethk> nathanial, ok.  eigenlambda's command doesn't show anything wrong?
[01:58] <nathanial> I'm not sure how to run that command.
[01:58] <Dodzey> paste it into a terminal
[01:58] <eigenlambda> open a terminal window
[01:58] <eigenlambda> and copy and paste
[01:59] <urakaipa> sethk the problem is that i don't have the partition listed no more
[01:59] <bbt> anyone know where i can get a k8-smp kernel package for 32bit mode ?
[02:00] <DanaG> !easyubuntu
[02:00] <ubotu> easyubuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ ; for help and discussion of easyubuntu please join #easyubuntu.
[02:00] <DanaG> What is it?
[02:00] <sethk> urakaipa, yes, I know, but if you know where the partition was (the starting and ending sectors) the partition table is easy to fix
[02:00] <Dodzey> anyway, its late (or early! depending on how you look at it) and im tired, so im gonna go...cya
[02:00] <DanaG> Oh, I remember what the utility was called.
[02:00] <budluva> Dr_Willis: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[02:00] <budluva>   qtorrent: Depends: python-qt3 but it is not installable
[02:00] <budluva> E: Broken packages
[02:00] <DanaG> TestDisk.
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> budluva,  it installed that for me.
[02:01] <budluva> bah
[02:01] <Dr_Willis> Get:1 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/main python-qt3 3.15.1-0ubuntu3 [44.2kB]
[02:01] <urakaipa> sethk how can i fix it? because gpart was not able to list me useful partitions (just old ones)
[02:01] <sethk> budluva, the problem is why python-qt3 is not installable.
[02:01] <Dr_Willis> budluva,  could be the  the servers are down.
[02:01] <sethk> urakaipa, you dump the mbr and use a hex editor
[02:01] <nathanial> i'm sorry. Maybe i'm doing this wrong. I'm getting a > prompt
[02:01] <sethk> urakaipa, the partitions are the last four groups of 16 bytes in the mbr
[02:01] <sethk> urakaipa, you can also use fdisk to fix it
[02:02] <eigenlambda> oh
[02:02] <nathanial> nevermind. got it.
[02:02] <nathanial> :)
[02:02] <sethk> urakaipa, you can use fdisk to create the partition.  you give it the starting and ending sector numbers.  fdisk does not touch the partition, only the partition table in the mbr.
[02:02] <urakaipa> sethk could you please tell me some of these commands?
[02:02] <urakaipa> ah okay
[02:02] <nathanial> i'm not understanding my output.
[02:03] <nathanial> Desire=unknown/install/remove/purge/hold. . . .
[02:03] <teluride> Hi.. have a question on the updates... Is there an easy way to get a list of packages that were last updated?
[02:03] <budluva> another question...
[02:03] <urakaipa> but in this case i don't know the exact sector number
[02:03] <budluva> am i gonna notice frame drops in true combat: elite if im running in xgl/compiz?
[02:04] <DanaG> Try that TestDisk utility on UBCD.
[02:04] <sethk> urakaipa, that's of course a problem.  if the rest of the partition table is intact, then you can figure out the starting and ending sectors
[02:04] <DanaG> I just don't know if it can handle RAID.
[02:04] <salah> how do I check which codec a video file have?
[02:04] <Kyral> file
[02:04] <Kyral> file <media file>
[02:04] <sethk> urakaipa, say partition one ends at 1000, and partition three starts at 2000, then you would know that partition 2 starts at 1001 and ends at 1999.
[02:04] <sethk> urakaipa, obviously I made those numbers up, but you get the idea, hopefully
[02:05] <Mr_Awesome> hi, i just installed ubuntu, but when i boot into it the screen just displays a random pattern of colors
[02:05] <urakaipa> sethk the problem is that more the one partition is missing, that's why i tried scanning the drive with gpart
[02:06] <Mr_Awesome> any idea whats wrong?
[02:06] <sethk> urakaipa, and gpart didn't find all the partitions except one?
[02:06] <DanaG> http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
[02:06] <sethk> Mr_Awesome, you fed some mushrooms to your computer?
[02:07] <DanaG> LVM and LVM2, Linux Logical Volume Manager
[02:07] <DanaG> Linux Raid
[02:07] <urakaipa> sethk, gpart did not find anything of the latest partitions, just old configuration
[02:07] <Mr_Awesome> sethk: i knew i should have ate them myself
[02:07] <DanaG> TestDisk can find lost partitions for all of these file systems:
[02:07] <teluride> Hi.. have a question on the updates... Is there an easy way to get a list of packages that were last updated?
[02:07] <sethk> urakaipa, too bad.  then you are down to scanning yourself.  I have some programs I wrote to scan, but to use them you would need to know the signatures used in the software raid file system.
[02:07] <Mr_Awesome> could it be my video card? its an evga geforce 6600 le
[02:08] <sethk> urakaipa, I'm a bit surprised that the partition doesn't appear to be a normal linux partition to software unaware of software raid
[02:08] <anaUbuntu> Hello??
[02:08] <sethk> urakaipa, but as I said I'm no expert on software raid
[02:08] <eigenlambda> anaUbuntu: hello
[02:08] <urakaipa> DanaG thx i'm looking right now
[02:08] <DanaG> It's on Ultimate Boot CD, too.
[02:08] <linuxd00d> troytroy: are you still here
[02:09] <[Wiebel] > hmm
[02:09] <DanaG> It's about 1 or 2 pages in, under Filesystem tools.
[02:09] <minimec> Mr_Awesome: Seems to be the card. Does it have two sreen outputs?
[02:09] <[Wiebel] > autoconf.h should be in linux-headers-2.6.15-26-386 right?
[02:09] <sethk> [Wiebel] , I doubt it
[02:09] <minimec> Mr_Awesome: screen
[02:09] <urakaipa> i'm running on ubuntu livecd, i prefer not to install any os until partitions wont come up
[02:09] <[Wiebel] > sethk: packages.ubuntulinux.org sais so
[02:09] <[Wiebel] > says so
[02:10] <Mr_Awesome> minimec: i think it can have two outputs
[02:10] <[Wiebel] > usr/include/linux/autoconf.h    devel/linux-kernel-headers
[02:10] <sethk> [Wiebel] , on my box it is in the "autoconf" package.
[02:10] <Mr_Awesome> but its not set that way
[02:10] <anaUbuntu> Hello eigenlambda
[02:10] <Frankenstein> hi, i recently got this older pc it's a Pentium 2 300Mhz etc... i put in the install cd and it boots off of it and goes through a startup BUT it will keep flashing my monitor like crazy!  how can i get it to go into install?
[02:10] <sethk> [Wiebel] , I see what you are looking at, and I can't explain it, but try installing autoconf
[02:10] <[Wiebel] > sethk: what version?
[02:10] <minimec> Mr_Awesome: ok... wait a moment. I have to remember something ...
[02:10] <nathanial> hi folks. another question again.
[02:10] <sethk> [Wiebel] , wait, let me make sure I didn't misread this
[02:10] <[Wiebel] > ack
[02:10] <nathanial> I can't seem to play commercial DVD's
[02:11] <nathanial> error message pops up saying that it can't be read. Either I don't have permission, or there is no disc in drive.
[02:11] <sethk> [Wiebel] , sorry, I had found autoconf.html, not autoconf.h.
[02:11] <[Wiebel] > :)
[02:11] <sethk> [Wiebel] , I do show it in linux-headers
[02:11] <nathanial> I should change permission on my DVD?
[02:11] <DanaG> !libdvdcss
[02:11] <ubotu> See http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html. Libdvdcss can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[02:11] <DanaG> First.
[02:11] <[Wiebel] > sethk: i have linux-headers installed
[02:11] <[Wiebel] > no autoconf.h
[02:11] <nathanial> yes. I installed that.
[02:11] <sethk> [Wiebel] , I see it in linux-kernel-headers
[02:11] <[Wiebel] > ii  linux-kernel-headers                   <IP_ADDRESS>-0ubuntu18    Linux Kernel Headers for development
[02:11] <nathanial> Danag. I installed that thanks!
[02:11] <sethk> [Wiebel] , have you installed linux-kernel-headers?
[02:12] <nathanial> DanaG but still no luck.
[02:12] <sethk> [Wiebel] , ok,
[02:12] <minimec> Mr_Awesome: Ok! Start your computer in recovery mode
[02:12] <[Wiebel] > let me do a reinstall
[02:12] <sethk> [Wiebel] , wait
[02:12] <[Wiebel] > hmm?
[02:12] <minimec> Mr_Awesome: tell me when you're done
[02:12] <sethk> [Wiebel] , I notice that the one installed by linux-kernel-headers is just a file to force a compilation error
[02:12] <Mr_Awesome> minimec: this is the computer
[02:12] <Frankenstein> hi, i recently got this older pc it's a Pentium 2 300Mhz etc... i put in the install cd and it boots off of it and goes through a startup BUT it will keep flashing my monitor like crazy!  how can i get it to go into install?  i also cant boot off the live cd, it keeps flashing the screen at me
[02:12] <Mr_Awesome> minimec: im dual booting winxp
[02:12] <[Wiebel] > sethk: hmmz
[02:12] <[Wiebel] > that's not good
[02:12] <sethk> [Wiebel] , the real one is in linux-headers-2.6......
[02:13] <[Wiebel] > sethk: installed that one as well
[02:13] <[Wiebel] > ii  linux-headers-2.6.15-26-386            2.6.15-26.46    Linux kernel headers 2.6.15 on 386
[02:13] <minimec> Mr_Awesome: start it with ubuntu in recovery mode
[02:13] <Mr_Awesome> minimec: and then what?
[02:13] <[Wiebel] > /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-26-386/include/linux/autoconf.h
[02:13] <[Wiebel] > ah
[02:14] <jmichaelx> in many cases, when i try to view embedded streaming video, i can get the audio, but where the video should be, i just have a black box that says 'no picture'. would anyone have an idea what i need to do to get this fixed?
[02:14] <sethk> [Wiebel] , that path looks like the correct (real) one
[02:14] <minimec> Mr_Awesome: then you do a 'lspci' to veryfy the number of your graphic card like 1:0:0
[02:14] <[Wiebel] > uhuh
[02:15] <minimec> Mr_Awesome: then open /etc/X11/xorg.conf and compare the numbers...
[02:15] <sethk> [Wiebel] , let's back up.  what problem are you experiencing that pointed you at autoconf.h?
[02:15] <Mr_Awesome> minimec: how do i do that? is recovery a command line?
[02:15] <minimec> Mr_Awesome: yes
[02:15] <Iskander> Hey, anybody here play Call of Duty on Ubuntu Using Wine, and have sound lag?

[02:17] <willys_fueguino> theres some wma player that comes on the alternative cd?
[02:17] <willys_fueguino> theres a wma player that comes on the alternative cd?
[02:17] <sethk> [Wiebel] , can you paste the url again?  it is a long way up
[02:18] <[Wiebel] >   CC [M]   /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.15/viafb/viafbdev.o

[02:18] <Frankenstein> so could anyone help me with this?
[02:18] <sethk> [Wiebel] , you are building the kernel?
[02:18] <sethk> must be,
[02:18] <[Wiebel] > sethk: kernel modules
[02:18] <[Wiebel] > -s
[02:18] <sethk> [Wiebel] , right, same thing for this purpose
[02:18] <[Wiebel] > uhuh
[02:19] <sethk> so /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.15.include/linux/autoconf.h exists?
[02:19] <[Wiebel] > sethk: and /usr/include/linux/autoconf.h as well
[02:19] <sethk> 15/include, not 15.include
[02:19] <[Wiebel] > i copied them there
[02:19] <Iskander> can anyone here help me edit my wine config file????????????????
[02:19] <elamericano> does anyone here use Dia?
[02:19] <sethk> [Wiebel] , you should not have had to copy them.
[02:19] <sethk> [Wiebel] , so something is still screwy
[02:20] <nrdb> I am looking for the cups-devel package where can I find it?
[02:20] <[Wiebel] > hmm
[02:20] <nu> after i install fluxbox, i just logout, and choose it in the Session before logging in, correct?
[02:20] <[Wiebel] > I thing I know
[02:20] <willys_fueguino> theres a wma player that comes on the alternative cd?
[02:20] <sethk> [Wiebel] , the problem has to be that a -I does not point to the root of your compilation tree, but why that is I can't say.
[02:20] <Schumi> can anyone help me with compiling, I get an error when I try to run a ./config, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19733
[02:20] <sethk> [Wiebel] , what?
[02:20] <nu> well, correct or not here i goi
[02:21] <sethk> Schumi, did you install developer-essential?
[02:21] <willys_fueguino> theres a wma player that comes on the alternative cd?
[02:21] <Schumi> I installed the newest gcc
[02:21] <Schumi> i didn't speciafically install developer-essential
[02:21] <sethk> Schumi, then probably you are trying to build in a directory that isn't writable for your user
[02:21] <[Wiebel] > CFLAGS += -I$(KSRC)/include -I. -Wstrict-prototypes -fomit-frame-pointer
[02:22] <sethk> Schumi, you can move it to a directory where you have privileges, or try   sudo ./configure
[02:22] <Schumi> i did use sudo.. check this out http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19733
[02:22] <Schumi> thats the message.
[02:22] <sethk> [Wiebel] , Schumi ok, paste config.log
[02:22] <[Wiebel] > just a sec
[02:23] <sethk> [Wiebel] , sorry, I put two names on that line  :)
[02:23] <sethk> I meant...
[02:23] <sethk> Schumi, ok, paste config.log
[02:23] <nrdb> I am looking for the cups-devel package where might I find it?
[02:24] <Schumi> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19734
[02:24] <[Wiebel] > argh
[02:24] <[Wiebel] > I don't get it
[02:24] <Schumi> i am being told by someone else that I need build-essentials
[02:24] <bruenig> !info libcupsys2-dev

[02:24] <[Wiebel] > now it breaks on other stuff
[02:24] <sethk> Schumi, let me check.  I asked you about that also.
[02:24] <nu> Well fluxbox didnt work for me
[02:24] <nu> sadness
[02:25] <[Wiebel] > ah
[02:25] <[Wiebel] > it's compiling
[02:25] <[Wiebel] > finaly
[02:25] <Schumi> im running on a slow connection so I'm trying to avoid downloading large installs. the build-essentials is 12MB
[02:25] <sethk> Schumi, they are correct.  part of binutils is missing.  install build-essential, it should take care of that
[02:25] <lmosher> When I'm using Xgl and I hibernate my laptop, when I turn it back on I get graphical glitces above/below the bottom/top gnome panels. Any ideas why or how to fix it?
[02:25] <Schumi> ok, ill bite the bullet. thanks
[02:25] <sethk> Schumi, you need it.  linker files are missing, no way around it.
[02:25] <Schumi> thanks.
[02:25] <[Wiebel] > great
[02:26] <[Wiebel] > load viafb and my screen dies
[02:26] <[Wiebel] > grrrr
[02:26] <sethk> [Wiebel] , hey, you want to be able to compile it AND run it?  That's asking a lot.  :)
[02:26] <[Wiebel] > hehe :P
[02:27] <eternaljoy> how can I install Mozilla-composer?
[02:29] <eternaljoy> whats a good GUI WYSIWYG html editor for Dapper?
[02:30] <linuxd00d> i got xmms working now
[02:30] <bruenig> eternaljoy, i think mozilla-browser has composer with it
[02:30] <bruenig> so sudo apt-get install mozilla-browser
[02:30] <bruenig> eternaljoy, on the WYSIWYG, NVU
 what is the composer for?
[02:30] <bruenig> !info nvu
[02:30] <ubotu> nvu: Complete Web Authoring System. In repository universe, is optional. Version 1.0-0ubuntu4 (dapper), package size 8343 kB, installed size 26440 kB
[02:31] <eternaljoy> bruenig: i used to use the Mozilla composer, but Dapper doesnt have it
[02:31] <bruenig> cwraig, I don't know, I just remember installing mozilla-browser and having composer show up in the menus with it
[02:31] <eternaljoy> bruenig: how can I install the mozilla composer?
 if your only after something to put your code in colours i use apt-get install gphpedit
[02:32] <eternaljoy> cwraig: im seeking to edit html pages
 it will read your html code to
[02:32] <eternaljoy> cwraig:  WYSIWYG html editor like mozilla composer
[02:32] <bruenig> eternaljoy, I am telling you if you do 'sudo aptitude install mozilla-browser' it will install composer
[02:33] <eternaljoy> does Dapper have any WYSIWYG html editor like mozilla composer?
 dont go for gphpedit then :P
[02:33] <eternaljoy> bruenig: ok!  any other smaller application that does the same?
[02:33] <linuxd00d> i use a website which requires windows media player to view the videos, how would i view the files
 the age old question
[02:34] <userundefine> eternaljoy, NVU as well
[02:34] <bruenig> linuxd00d, you need to make sure you have w32codecs installed and then, I personally go with mplayer plugin
[02:34] <linuxd00d> well i have xmms will that help at all
[02:34] <owen_> how do you edit your broadbands MTU settings?
[02:34] <eternaljoy> userundefine: NVU is like  WYSIWYG html editor like mozilla composer?

[02:35] <userundefine> eternaljoy, yes.  It's actually built with XUL and Gecko, the gui and engine that powers Mozilla
[02:35] <Ronz> =)
[02:35] <cwraig> linuxd00d http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Multimedia_Codecs
[02:35] <Ronz> there may be an easier command though
[02:35] <linuxd00d> cheers cwraig
[02:35] <bruenig> linuxd00d, go here and install the file with gdebi http://debian-multimedia.org.nyud.net:8080/pool/main/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20060611-0.0_i386.deb, then do 'sudo aptitude install mozilla-mplayer' and that is it
[02:36] <eternaljoy> userundefine: ok ty!   Im installing NVU instead!  btw, I started installing mozilla, but stopped it at 2%!  how can I delete the 2% mozzila installation now from my system?
 this might be worth checking out
[02:37] <bruenig> eternaljoy, sudo apt-get clean

[02:38] <cowmilk2> also, how can i listen to some OGG audio files on my iPod?
[02:38] <bruenig> on the man screen it says autoclean "erases old downloaded archive files" and clean "erases downloaded archive files", whatever the difference is, your guess is as good as mine
[02:39] <tbw> covmilk2: using stocksoftware -- you can't.
 unfortunatelly your ipod wont do either
[02:39] <Nameeater> cowmilk2: do those questions have anything to do with Ubuntu? sounds more like ipod questions
[02:39] <Generic> cowmilk2, try rockbox
[02:39] <tbw> cowmilk2: maybe you should look at rockbox
[02:39] <nu> does anyone know what the "show desktop" program is called in linux?
[02:39] <Generic> if i got that right
[02:39] <nu> so i can add it to my shortcut
 you need to convert them to either mp3 or apple format
[02:39] <tbw> I just want my ADC monitor to work
[02:39] <tbw> damnit
[02:39] <Ronz> nu, it comes w/ gnome
[02:39] <cowmilk2> Generic: tbw, doesn't rockbox mean that my iPod's battery will be drained more quickly-er?
[02:40] <owen_> i start wow.exe with wine, but nothing happens? any suggestions?
[02:40] <[Wiebel] > hmmz
[02:40] <nu> Ronz: i know. i am uzing xfce though. and i need the name of the module so i can add it to shortcut =D
[02:40] <[Wiebel] > I have somekind of a live cd
[02:40] <tbw> cowmilk2: I'm gonna go with #rockbox on this one
[02:40] <Generic> cowmilk2, I think it depends on what your doing in rockbox
[02:40] <[Wiebel] > for an app
[02:40] <nu> so when i press ctrl + ~, everything minimizes
[02:40] <Generic> but I think that's pretty much what occurs
[02:40] <[Wiebel] > is there no way I can run it within ubuntu
[02:40] <[Wiebel] > (not via vmware though)
[02:40] <willys_fueguino> Frankenstein whats exactly the problem?
[02:40] <Ronz> nu, its just "show desktop"
[02:40] <Ronz> lol
[02:40] <nu> let me try lol
[02:41] <nu> it is not =(
[02:41] <Frankenstein> willys_fueguino, i cant install ubutnu... it boots off of the cd and gets to a certian point where it just flashes the screen forever
[02:41] <bruenig> Frankenstein, did you download this file or get it from shipit
[02:41] <Mr_Awesome> minimec: i just realize how much i dont know how to use the command line
[02:42] <cowmilk2> if i convert wma and ogg to mp3 (or any other format the iPod can read), how will the sound quality be?
[02:42] <Frankenstein> bruenig, ive tried three cds two that are from shipit, and one that i burned myself
[02:42] <tbw> cowmilk2: lossy + lossy == LOSSY. ;)
[02:42] <Frankenstein> its an older model, a gateway 2000 if that helps any
[02:42] <minimec> Mr_Awesome: I just relized, that I forgot to tell you something ... :;
[02:42] <Mr_Awesome> minimec: i ran lspci, but i couldnt even decifer what it was telling me
[02:42] <Mr_Awesome> *decipher
[02:43] <Mr_Awesome> minimec: what is that?
[02:43] <tbw> its a list of the devices on your PCI bus
[02:43] <tbw> addresses.. latencies... etc
[02:43] <tbw> etc
[02:43] <bruenig> Frankenstein, how much RAM do you have?
[02:43] <tbw> Mr_Awesome: You'll prolly like lspci -v better.
[02:43] <Frankenstein> bruenig, 64Mb stock
[02:43] <Mr_Awesome> tbw: right, but i didnt know what i was even looking for
[02:44] <Mr_Awesome> tbw: ah i see
[02:44] <minimec> Mr_Awesome: to open the /etc/X11/xorg.conf you have to use 'nano', wich gives 'nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:44] <minimec> Mr_Awesome: to open the /etc/X11/xorg.conf you have to use 'nano', wich gives 'nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[02:44] <bruenig> Frankenstein, that is likely the problem, I think 128 or 256 is necessary, you may want to go with xubuntu which requires less memory
[02:44] <Grav3y4rd> anybodu can help me with a network problem?
[02:44] <Frankenstein> bruenig, what about a server install? i cant even see the prmpt when the cd boots im afraid...
[02:44] <Tauhshi> For some reason, Ubuntu refuses to mount my FAT32 Hard Drive
[02:45] <nu> so no one knows what the Showdesktop thing is called?
[02:45] <Tauhshi> It shows in Natulis
[02:45] <Grav3y4rd>  i need help conecting winxp with ubuntu
[02:45] <Tauhshi> But, when I try to access it, it gives me this error
[02:45] <Mr_Awesome> minimec: thanks again, ill try it out, but what if they dont match?
[02:46] <Tauhshi> error: device /dev/hda2 is not removable
[02:46] <Tauhshi> error: could not execute pmount
[02:46] <bruenig> Frankenstein, that is odd, I don't see why It wouldn't install the server install
[02:47] <minimec> Mr_Awesome: for lspci: my line is 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 If [Radeon 9000]  (rev 01). So xorg.conf wants 1:0:0 ;)
[02:48] <micahcowan> Tauhshi, could you paste the output of the "mount" command, and the contents of /etc/fstab (not directly into the channel, naturally)/
[02:48] <degreez> hey whats the command to get into root in terminal?
[02:48] <sproingie> degreez: sudo
[02:48] <FuriousRage> degreez, sudo -i
[02:48] <micahcowan> degreez, sudo -i, if you want an interactive shell.
[02:48] <aujordanh> anybody know of an app that will let me listen to my xm radio account?
[02:48] <aujordanh> asside form the online player
[02:48] <Mr_Awesome> minimec: so am i changing xorg.conf or just viewing it?
[02:49] <oblx> hello. any experience with sagem 800 (usb modem) in dapper?

[02:49] <Tauhshi> Oh, ok ^^'
[02:49] <srhegde> Need some help with newly installed Ubuntu
[02:49] <minimec> Mr_Awesome: you can change xorg.conf, because you're using the nano software, witch is a text editor for console.
[02:49] <degreez> i get it, thanks
[02:50] <Mr_Awesome> minimec: ah i see, thank you very much

[02:51] <Grav3y4rd> Windows XP is the server
[02:51] <nu> ttyfscker: thanks ;)
[02:52] <Grav3y4rd> i configured ip,gateway and everything in Ubuntu
[02:52] <Tauhshi> Micah: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19735
[02:52] <pcman> Anyone knows what is the easiest way to add new hardware to ubuntu?
[02:53] <aujordanh> pcman, what kind of hardware?
[02:53] <Grav3y4rd> is there anything else i can do to get my Ubuntu pc to connect with Windows Xp Px
[02:53] <Grav3y4rd> ??
[02:53] <pcman> aujordanh: network card
[02:53] <Grav3y4rd> *pc
[02:53] <aujordanh> pcman, wireless or wired?
[02:53] <MilesAttacca> Can someone give me the boot options for the Ubuntu live CD so I can use it under basic VGA mode until I can get the appropriate graphics driver installed? (Otherwise it locks up constantly.) Previously someone in this channel gave me a set of them, but I lost the file I noted them in/
[02:53] <Grav3y4rd> wired
[02:53] <pcman> aujordanh: wired
[02:54] <micahcowan> Tauhshi, where does it show in nautilus?
[02:54] <aujordanh> Grav3y4rd, it should pick it up, have you tried it already?
[02:54] <linuxd00d> micahcowab, i do not have multiverse repositories setup
[02:54] <userundefine> MilesAttacca, I think it's linux vga=771
[02:54] <pcman> aujordanh: Since ubuntu has good hardware detectionm, there must be some easy ways to do this.
[02:54] <linuxd00d> micahcowan, i do not have multiverse repositories setup
[02:54] <aujordanh> pcman, i think it should pick it up automatically
[02:55] <Grav3y4rd> aujordanh, what do you mean?
[02:55] <pcman> aujordanh: unfortunately, it didn't.
[02:55] <Grav3y4rd> by picking up
[02:55] <micahcowan> linuxd00d, okay, np. Open up System -> Administration -> Software Properties
[02:55] <pcman> aujordanh: I replace my old card with a new one, and it doesn't work.
[02:55] <aujordanh> MilesAttacca, you might be able to press f2 or f3 at boot for boot options i cant remember ubuntu does it or not, i know knoppix and damn small do
[02:55] <linuxd00d> yeah
[02:56] <MatthiasM2> can someone tell my the keys for the game "abuse" ?
[02:56] <aujordanh> Grav3y4rd, didn't mean to say something to you nevermind
[02:56] <micahcowan> linuxd00d, then scroll down to where it says (in small type) Community maintained (Universe). Let me know if there's any other small-type there.
[02:56] <aujordanh> MatthiasM2, probably "man abuse" will tell you
[02:57] <nu> guys. im editing my menu, and i wanna put it to opena folder instead of a program

[02:57] <Grav3y4rd> in Ubuntu?
[02:58] <nu> masquerade: thank you :F
[02:58] <aujordanh> Grav3y4rd, are they networked?
[02:58] <Grav3y4rd> yes they are
[02:58] <ttyfscker> how come people in here don't consider automatix safe?

[02:58] <nu> aujordanh: yes =(. its taking me forever to ajust it just the way i want
[02:58] <MilesAttacca> Hm, vga=771 makes the colors sort of invert.
[02:58] <masquerade> nu, oh, then, whatever XFCE's folder manager is called
[02:59] <Grav3y4rd> all good but there is not internet yet!

[02:59] <nu> aujordanh: i know. hopefully ill finish it all tonight
[02:59] <aujordanh> is this your first install?
[03:00] <Viper550> masquerade: XFFM or Thunar...if it's tree-view, it's XFFM, if it's Xubuntu or XFCE 4.4 and looks alot like Nautilus, it's Thunar
[03:00] <Jill> hey
[03:00] <excitatory_> does anyone else experience lock-ups in firefox while browsing youtube?  (i really would like to know if this is a flash, os, firefox, or youtube problem)
[03:00] <IRC_> my firefox shockwave is not in sync with the audio. why is this?
[03:00] <nu> aujordanh: no, but its the longer a linux OS has been installed. usually i dont like it and delete it, or something goes wrong and i end up deleting it. it's been installed for a whole 9 hours now lol. record for me.

[03:01] <IRC_> excitatory: ok my b
[03:01] <aujordanh> IRC_, i havent researched it any, let me look around...

[03:01] <A[D] minS> Nighty alllllll
[03:02] <[M] erk> Ubuntu is on the front page of Wikipedia.
[03:02] <nu> aujordanh: i think xfce is a bit lighter than gnome, so i prefer it. although gnome is way more convenient + better looking.
[03:02] <Jill> Im running a dualboot system with ubuntu, and windows xp. Something blew away my ubuntu partiton, and now i cant boot into windows... im using grub as the boot loader. I have a PE version of windows, and a few other file manager utilities that ican access the file system with to read and write files, is there a way to make the system not use grub anymore?
[03:02] <excitatory_> IRC_: it's a common, very well-documented problem.  what version of ubuntu?
[03:02] <krijhwa> Hi ...installing ubuntu for the first time, install had been running for nearly 30 mins, shows windows manager applet ...is that OK

[03:03] <Jill> or atlast let me boot to windows again? I dont have my ubuntu disks handy to reinstall ubuntu.
[03:03] <nu> Viper550: Colorful, icons everywhre, slow

[03:04] <Viper550> 32mb minimum, 128 mb if installing from the Desktop disc

[03:04] <linuxd00d> micahcowan, yes it does look like that
[03:04] <nu> Jill:
[03:04] <Jill> yes?
[03:04] <nu> Jill: do you have the Windows CD?
[03:04] <Jill> yes
[03:04] <micahcowan> linuxd00d, then, if you've just checked the box by that, close the window, and it should ask you to refresh source lists or something.
[03:04] <Jill> ooooh
[03:05] <nu> Jill: put the CD win, and boot from the CD and go into recovery mode. then type "fixmbr"
[03:05] <Grav3y4rd> anyone can Help
[03:05] <Jill> fixmbr would fx it wouldn't it?
[03:05] <hoy> how do i reset my connection? like clear dns cache, etc
[03:05] <micahcowan> Tauhshi, try adding the following line to /etc/fstab
[03:05] <nu> Jill: yes it would :D
[03:05] <linuxd00d> micahcowan, done that
[03:05] <Jill> :P
[03:05] <Jill> thanks for reminding me of that :P
[03:05] <nu> anytime
[03:05] <nu> But hey
[03:05] <excitatory_> IRC_: basically, your soundcard is old and/or cheap and does not have hardware mixing.  you'll have to set up alsa and dmix (the ALSA project's software sound mixer)
[03:05] <nu> If you do that
[03:05] <nu> i don't know if youll be able to use grub again
[03:06] <krijhwa> hi, can somebody help me......seeing Window Manager applet for 20 mins now, new install

[03:07] <Mr_Awesome> minimec: xorg.conf was correct
[03:07] <hoy> how do i reset my connection? like clear dns cache, etc
[03:08] <micahcowan> linuxd00d, then do a "sudo apt-get update" first, before that other command.
[03:08] <aujordanh> excitatory_, does it really sycn everything ??
[03:08] <minimec> Mr_Awesome: Hmmm....
[03:08] <linuxd00d> ok
[03:08] <excitatory_> aujordanh: what, dmix?
[03:08] <aujordanh> that fix we both posted
[03:09] <eternaljoy> how can I remove certain services that load at startup to save time and resources, eg, printing etc?
[03:09] <aujordanh> excitatory_, you haven't heard of a player that plays xm radio streams have you?
[03:09] <excitatory_> aujordanh: well, when all sound is going to the same output source, it should, in theory, sync sound system-wide
[03:09] <Mr_Awesome> minimec: it said PCI:1:0:0 and the number of lspci was the same as yours, is that correct?
[03:09] <nu> Anyone know the command to open a dir though terminal? 'open
[03:09] <nu> doesnt work

[03:09] <neutrinomass> nu: You don't really open directories in Linux, you enter them with 'cd'
[03:10] <neutrinomass> nu: To view their contents, you can try 'ls'
[03:10] <nu> neutrinomass: the reason i ask is because im adding it to my menu list.
[03:10] <neutrinomass> nu: (After entering them, that is )

[03:11] <micahcowan> oh, linuxd00d, whoops my bad: I forgot w32codecs isn't even on restricted repositories. Get the .deb package from http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/pool/dapper/i386/non-free/w32codecs/w32codecs_20060611-1plf1_i386.deb
[03:11] <sethk> eternaljoy, I can't imagine anything easier than ftp
[03:11] <micahcowan> and then do sudo dpkg -i w32codecs_20060611-0.0_i386.deb
[03:11] <linuxd00d> cheers
[03:11] <micahcowan> (from the same directory where you downloaded it)
[03:11] <nu> neutrinomass: abiword
[03:11] <excitatory_> eternaljoy: that's a very subjective question.  also, it really depends on what you're looking for.  you have everything from ftp, gftp, konqueror does it, even firefox has a nice ftp extension available.
[03:12] <eternaljoy> who was it that recommend NVU to me earlier?
[03:12] <sethk> eternaljoy, I do it manually by editing files, but I'm sure there is an easier way that someone here knows.
[03:12] <TheGame> anybody?
[03:12] <eternaljoy> sethk: ok
[03:12] <micahcowan> Tauhshi, did you add that line to /etc/fstab?
[03:12] <minimec> Mr_Awesome: You could try to change the driver of your card to 'vesa', which will probalby give you an 640/480 26 colors screen ... You can also do that with nano. This time do 'mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg-backup.conf' before. A backup is always a good idea ;)
[03:12] <eternaljoy> is there a way I can remove certain serrvices from lading at boot time?
[03:12] <neutrinomass> nu: Ok. Do 'sudo abiword /boot/grub/menu.lst' (Which is the file you're for some reason trying to edit, right? )
[03:12] <eternaljoy> loading
[03:12] <neutrinomass> eternaljoy: System->Administration->Services ?
[03:12] <Mr_Awesome> minimec: what would that accomplish?
[03:13] <excitatory_> eternaljoy: there are a number of ways.  the forums cover this many times.
[03:13] <linuxd00d> micahcowan, its automatically installing the package XD
[03:13] <linuxd00d> micahcowan, its automatically installing the package XD
[03:13] <nu> neutrinomass: no, im not trying to edit a file. i want to add a folder shortcut to the menu bar.
[03:13] <eternaljoy> neutrinomass: thats it!  thansk!  I can remove printer services right?
[03:14] <eternaljoy> neutrinomass: I dont own a printer
[03:14] <neutrinomass> nu: Ahhhh..... sorry, complete misunderstanding. I can't really help you with that - no XFCE lying around :-/ (maybe #xubuntu if nobody can help here )
[03:14] <nu> neutrinomass: for example. i just added firefox to the menu by clicking the ADD button. it then asked me the name of an application. i entered "firefox" and clicked ok. Firefox is now on the menu
[03:14] <minimec> Mr_Awesome: the 'mv'-order makes a copy of your xorg.conf; the 'vesa'-driver is a general driver, that normally runs everything.
[03:14] <micahcowan> linuxd00d, the browser is?
[03:14] <sethk> eternaljoy, you can remove it even if you do own a printer  :)
[03:14] <nu> neutrinomass: aahhhh no problem them. thanks for the try anyways
[03:14] <aujordanh> nu, have you tried joining #xfce or #xubuntu?
[03:14] <neutrinomass> eternaljoy: IIRC you can - try it :)
[03:14] <linuxd00d> micahcowan, no package installer
[03:14] <nu> aujordanh: I am going to now.
[03:14] <eternaljoy> neutrinomass: whats IIRC mean?
[03:14] <eternaljoy> sethk: heh ok ;)
[03:14] <micahcowan> cool
[03:15] <AAA> if I remembeer correctly
[03:15] <eternaljoy> sethk: what else can be removed ?
[03:15] <neutrinomass> eternaljoy: Sorry, my bad :( If I Remember Correctly ...
[03:15] <minimec> Mr_Awesome: It's a test to see, if the card is reacting and giving some 'positive' signs ;)
[03:15] <aujordanh> aujordanh, that really isn't an "Ubuntu" question as it is an xfce question, others may be able to better help you
[03:15] <linuxd00d> micahcowan, will i still need to sudo dpkg -i w32codecs_20060611-0.0_i386.deb
[03:15] <nemik> hello, how can i make ubuntu force my monitor to do an 'auto-config' since when i try to push that button on the monitor, it gives me OSD-locked
[03:15] <[Wiebel] > hmm
[03:15] <Plouj> where is the guide to add the multiverse repository in order to install flashplugin-nonfree?
[03:15] <Mr_Awesome> minimec: ok i suppose ill try it
[03:15] <[Wiebel] > packages.ubuntulinux.com seems to be broken
[03:16] <micahcowan> linuxd00d, no, you should be set, after it's done installing.
[03:16] <Shak-> hey.. im trying to compile an application here but its complaining about not finding GTK+ 2, is there a package im missing?
[03:16] <[Wiebel] > ah
[03:16] <[Wiebel] > it's back
[03:16] <sethk> eternaljoy, look for servers.  it depends, though, on what you need.
[03:16] <micahcowan> trying to view WMVs?
[03:16] <Mr_Awesome> minimec: i guess i can live with 640x480, 26 colors ;)
[03:16] <sethk> eternaljoy, mail server, for example
[03:16] <linuxd00d> no online extreme sports
[03:16] <Plouj> nemik: you mostlikely can't do that from Ubuntu or any other OS, unless the monitor manufacturer provides special software+drivers.
[03:16] <KreativeLight> How do I install my .ttf fonts?
[03:16] <minimec> Mr_Awesome: no ... you woun't  ;)
[03:16] <Renan_s2> Shak-, libgtk2.0-dev
[03:16] <linuxd00d> it says on the browser to UPGRADE MEDIA PLAYER!
[03:16] <Renan_s2> is probably what you want.
[03:17] <nu> the only person in #xubuntu didnt know either =( lol
[03:17] <Shak-> Renan_s2: ok i'll try that out
[03:17] <aujordanh> nu, haha
[03:17] <nemik> Plouj, that is what i thought yet when ubuntu first started up, it forced the monitor to do this. so i'm wondering how i could get to that command possible since it is a little offcenter in gnome
[03:17] <Plouj> nemik: check your monitor's manual how to unlock the OSD
[03:17] <nemik> Plouj, yes i tried but there is nothing for it
[03:17] <Plouj> nemik: monitors auto-config when they enter a video mode for the first time
[03:18] <Plouj> nemik: search google about unlocking your monitor's OSD
[03:18] <nu> aujordanh: hehe. maybe tomorrow someone will know
[03:18] <nemik> hmmm perhaps restarting X then...
[03:18] <Shak-> Renan_s2: hmm its complaining baout unresolvable dependencies in synpatic
[03:18] <linuxd00d> anyways im tired its 2:18am over here in UK im off guys cheers for all you help micahcowan
[03:19] <linuxd00d> peace

[03:24] <Renan_s2> Shak-, strange, I don't know what is causing your problem
[03:24] <cdubya> eternaljoy, honestly not sure because I'm not sure what you're trying to do......
[03:24] <Plouj> damn, it how can I make apt find flashplugin-nonfree??
[03:24] <eigenlambda> degreez: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:24] <Max007> hi, i have a problem with sudo, i get this error: timestamp too far in the future
[03:24] <Shak-> Renan_s2: could it be the dependencies are in a different respository which I have yet to enable?
[03:24] <degreez> also whats the best editing program to use, pls keep in mind that im a noob.
[03:25] <Timmy|GDS>  Im about to downsize ubuntus partition with Gparted
[03:25] <Renan_s2> Shak-, I don't know...
[03:25] <eigenlambda> dpkg-reconfigure
[03:25] <degreez> Vi warped my mind last time
[03:25] <Shak-> hmm
[03:25] <eigenlambda> is the one you should use
[03:25] <KreativeLight> Hello, Linux Newbie here.  Does anyone know how to install .ttf fonts or any other fonts?
[03:25] <cdubya> degreez, I just use gedit
[03:25] <Timmy|GDS> Will ubuntu freak out if I downsize ubuntus partition with Gparted
[03:25] <eigenlambda> it's the standard way of reconfiguring packages

[03:27] <Timmy|GDS> ???
[03:27] <cdubya> Timmy|GDS, not sure, but I'm always hesitant to do that unless you know for sure that what you're doing isn't going to mess up system critical stuff
[03:27] <Timmy|GDS> Well, im gonna install gentoo
[03:27] <cdubya> Timmy|GDS, best of luck.

[03:28] <nu> hey. is there a way for me to bring files from my windows partition here to linux? (music files)
[03:28] <[Wiebel] > how can I compile just one module I've add in my config?
[03:28] <Shak-> Renan_s2: does "You must have dapper-updates repositories enabled for main." help any?
[03:28] <[Wiebel] > instead of compiling all modules
[03:29] <eigenlambda> owen_: try starting it from the command line
[03:29] <eigenlambda> and see what it says
[03:29] <Shak-> that might be the problem but I dont know how to implement that solution
[03:29] <micahcowan> nu, yes. Fat or NTFS
[03:29] <micahcowan> ?
[03:29] <nu> micahcowan: ntfs
[03:29] <Renan_s2> Shak-, I don't know...

[03:32] <svu> funny, in edgy X.log shows that DRI is enabled but glxinfo says "Direct rendering: No"
[03:32] <cdubya> nu, no problem. If you follow the wiki, it's pretty simple
[03:32] <nu> cdubya: i will.
[03:32] <nu> thanks again
[03:32] <cdubya> nu, just know that it's read-only
[03:33] <cdubya> nu, don't try to write to it.....write's not supported AFAIK
[03:33] <Linuturk> i have completely wiped windows off my laptop. I have an outlook 2003 pst file with all my contacts and such in it. What is the best process of converting these over?
[03:33] <mrak> Hi! I've accidentally deleted my /etc/fonts and now everything's screwed
[03:33] <micahcowan> nu, mores specifically, there is support, but it's not terribly reliable, *experimental*only*.
[03:34] <mrak> how can I restore it?
[03:34] <eigenlambda> hm
[03:34] <eigenlambda> dpkg-reconfigure all the font packages?
[03:35] <mrak> ahm
[03:35] <Desh> Hi, I need help dual booting Ubuntu and XP. I have installed XP and am currently in it. I am going to restpre GRUB but I don;t know wether to overwrite the Windows Bootloader and use Grub only or if it is ok to use both bootloaders on the MBR. if I use both will i be asked which OS to boot to?
[03:35] <mrak> is there a way to list all font packages?
[03:35] <Linuturk> Grub should handle ubuntu and windows
[03:35] <Linuturk> go Grub only Desh
[03:35] <eigenlambda> dpkg -l lists all the packages you have installed
[03:35] <Magnus-swe> a
[03:35] <Linuturk> i have completely wiped windows off my laptop. I have an outlook 2003 pst file with all my contacts and such in it. What is the best process of converting these over?
[03:35] <naknomik> Desh: you can't have Grub and windows at the same time
[03:36] <Desh> And if I do Grub only, will it auto-add XP or do I need to add it myself?
[03:36] <neutrinomass> Desh: Have you installed Ubuntu? If you first install XP and then Ubuntu, grub will be configured and installed so that you get a chance to choose between the two OS at boot ...
[03:36] <Magnus-swe> __mikem, Eleaf .. < kick then in the head
[03:36] <Desh> No, I had Ubuntu and now installed XP.
[03:36] <Magnus-swe> Morons
[03:36] <eigenlambda> try uninstalling and reinstalling fontconfig
[03:36] <Magnus-swe> Ill be listening to Maiden
[03:37] <neutrinomass> nalioth: If you're still around, please do us the favour of banning Magnus-swe from here as well ....
[03:37] <Magnus-swe> Meza.. menza thats weak... son :)
[03:38] <Desh> If I restore GRUB now, since it is gone right now, wil it auto-add XP or would I need to go and edit the GRUB config?
[03:38] <naknomik> Desh add something like:
[03:38] <naknomik> title Window XP
[03:38] <naknomik> rootnoverify (hd1,0)
[03:38] <neutrinomass> nalioth: Thanks :)
[03:38] <naknomik> chainloader +1
[03:38] <naknomik> Make sure you adjust the (hd1,0) entry
[03:38] <cdubya> Linuturk, maybe here? http://www.freshports.org/mail/libpst/
[03:38] <Desh> Ok, yeah I have the guide here
[03:38] <mrak> removing fontcofing will remove a lot of stuff, is there a way to remove fontconfig only
[03:38] <naknomik> Desh: may be not.
[03:38] <Desh> I just hope I use the right (hd1,0) type entry
[03:39] <naknomik> Desh: how is your partition table?
[03:39] <Shak-> can anyone help me out? im trying to install libgtk2.0-dev but it keeps complaining about unmet dependencies
[03:39] <owen_> ok , in the terminal I ran frostwire - says oops cannot find java in 3 different directories it checked as default, i have the latest jre 1.5 java installed through apt-get install - do i have to reinstall in a different directory?
[03:39] <Shak-> heres the output I get when attempting "apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev" http://rafb.net/paste/results/PxAEqW67.html
[03:40] <Desh> naknomik: First partition is Ubuntu, 2nd is extended which contains hda5, the Linux swap, and the 3rd partition is XP.
[03:40] <Schumi> does anyone want to search their HD for "XTest.h" and send it to me???
[03:40] <Desh> naknomik: but XP saw it as: Partition 1: Linux, Partition 2: XP, Partition 3: Swap
[03:40] <naknomik> Desh: are you booted into ubuntu right now?
[03:40] <eternaljoy> cdubya: lol
[03:40] <cdubya> eternaljoy, huh?
[03:40] <Desh> naknomik: no, XP atm
[03:40] <micahcowan> Shak-, try using Synaptic to install it (System -> Admin -> Synaptic)
[03:41] <naknomik> Desh: Can you boot into Ubuntu ISO CD?
[03:41] <Schumi> I'm in a serious serious bind here guys, I really need to find the Xtest extension
[03:41] <Shak-> micahcowan: I did, both piped out the same error
[03:41] <mrak> could someone send me the /etc/fonts/*
[03:41] <micahcowan> Shak-, you have to make sure that if it recommends you also install various dependencies, that you let it do so. Did it ask you to confirm adding dependencies?
[03:42] <mrak> that would be great ;-)
[03:42] <mrak> from the default ubuntu install
[03:42] <gabber38209> How do I make Gaim minimize into the Gnome Panel?
[03:42] <cdubya> Linuturk, everything I'm finding seems to allude to converting the .pst before you wipe
[03:42] <Shak-> micahcowan: yes it did in synaptic, but the error came after I marked all the dependencies it asked for
[03:42] <cdubya> Windows...
[03:42] <Linuturk> :-/
[03:42] <cdubya> yeah
[03:42] <cdubya> bummer
[03:43] <cdubya> sorry
[03:43] <cdubya> still looking
[03:43] <cdubya> Linuturk, if you make a copy of your .pst and then try the libpst app, it may be worth a shot, though.
[03:43] <nu> hey
[03:44] <eternaljoy> NVU is great
[03:44] <nu> mozilla crashes whenever i enter a site that uses flash
[03:44] <Linuturk> libpst?
[03:44] <nu> and i installed the plugoin
[03:44] <naknomik> What is NVU?
[03:44] <eternaljoy> nu: use firefox
[03:44] <Linuturk> you mean readpst?
[03:44] <micahcowan> mrak, try http://micah.cowan.name/fonts.tgz, and lemme know when you've got it.
[03:44] <nu> eternaljoy: that's what i meant.
[03:44] <eternaljoy> naknomik: NVU is a html editor
[03:44] <Linuturk> NVU isn't anygood for coders
[03:44] <Linuturk> it rewrites your code
[03:44] <eternaljoy> nu: try Opera
[03:44] <mrak> micahcowan, tnx
[03:44] <nu> mmm
[03:44] <Shak-> micahcowan: after I mark all the dependencies, the error that pops up complains about "unresolvable dependencies"
[03:44] <Linuturk> www.aptana.com mrak
[03:44] <nu> i love firefox though lol
[03:44] <eternaljoy> Linuturk: rubbish
[03:44] <cdubya> Liniturk, http://sourceforge.net/projects/ol2mbox
[03:44] <nu> hold on let me see if i canf ix
[03:45] <Linuturk> eternaljoy, it rewrites you code buddie
[03:45] <eternaljoy> nu: remove firefox and install
[03:45] <eternaljoy> Linuturk: rubbish
[03:45] <Linuturk> i've pasted plenty of clean code into NVU, and it's formatted it
[03:45] <micahcowan> Shak-, can you get me a screenshot (or somesuch) of that error (assuming it gives more detail than that)?
[03:45] <cdubya> nu, or try epiphany
[03:45] <gabber38209> How do I make Gaim minimize into the Gnome Panel?
[03:45] <Linuturk> the option to disable that formatting doesn't work
[03:45] <Linuturk> www.aptana.com is a better solution
[03:45] <cdubya> I gave up on firefox
[03:45] <nu> cdubya: is that a browser?
[03:45] <Schumi> seriously noone wants to help me with XTest?
[03:46] <iratsu> how does one switch his default shell from bash to zsh?
[03:46] <void^> chsh
[03:46] <Linuturk> gabber38209, make sure you have the system tray package installed
[03:46] <cdubya> nu, yep
[03:46] <Linuturk> gabber38209, it's in synaptic
[03:46] <neutrinomass> iratsu: I'm not even sure it is a good idea ... you might have trouble booting ...
[03:46] <cdubya> nu, sudo apt-get install epiphany-browser
[03:46] <Shak-> micahcowan: ok, hold on
[03:46] <cdubya> methinks that's the package name
[03:46] <gabber38209> Linuturk, thanks
[03:46] <eternaljoy> Linuturk: NVU has fixed up your amaetuer and unclean code :)
[03:46] <mrak> have  to reboot
[03:46] <iratsu> neutrinomass: why's that?
[03:47] <Ronz> if i have ubuntu installed on hda, can i edit other partitions on the disk?
[03:47] <cdubya> yep, that's it
[03:47] <iratsu> neutrinomass: oh i only wanna switch it for one user
[03:47] <Linuturk> eternaljoy, it's put usesless <font> tags and other garbage, and ruined my CSS
[03:47] <Ronz> say root is hda3....can i format hda4?
[03:47] <eternaljoy> Linuturk: if your code was professional and clean NVU wouldnt need to fix it up!
[03:47] <snoops> Linuturk gosh, it's using font tags? yuck
[03:47] <Linuturk> exactly
[03:47] <neutrinomass> iratsu: Oh, ok then .. If you changed it system-wide I'm not sure the various scripts around the system would work correctly ...
[03:47] <Linuturk> www.aptana.com << a better solution, though no wysiwyg
[03:48] <iratsu> neutrinomass: yea, that's not waht i meant
[03:48] <Linuturk> but aptana is still beta, but in better condition than NVU
[03:48] <iratsu> neutrinomass: how do i change it for one user then? =)
