[03:49] <crimsun> pschulz01: no, the source for vmware-player-kernel-modules
[03:49] <rixxon> ok. they're called directories. :P
[03:49] <prwlr> KrisWood, gparted or partition magic
[03:50] <KrisWood> prwlr: can I use that on my ubuntu system partition while it's runing? :-/
[03:50] <LjL> rixxon: find `echo $PATH | tr ":" " "` | grep <word-you-want-to-search-for-in-the-filename>
[03:50] <Sir-Montag> how would I put it on a machine that has no network adapter or cd-rom?
[03:50] <HellDragon> i cant get pkill artsd working , i get no sound in games
[03:50] <LjL> rixxon: if that's what you mean
[03:50] <pschulz01> Ahh.. the probelam that I am having is with building the modules for 'VMWare-workstation'. but If I could get vmware-player working, I could at least use the virual machines.
[03:51] <rixxon> LjL: i was looking for some short fast-to-type command :)
[03:51] <Sir-Montag> it has a parallel port, serial, and built in floppy
[03:51] <prwlr> KrisWood, sure
[03:51] <HellDragon> nevermind.
[03:51] <crimsun> pschulz01: did you download -workstation from VMWare's Web site?
[03:51] <KrisWood> ok,,, here we go...
[03:51] <pschulz01> crimsun: yes.
[03:51] <Sir-Montag> I have an EIDE to laptop hard drive adapter, so I can slave the laptop hard drive to my machine
[03:51] <rixxon> LjL: i mean find files by name
[03:51] <crimsun> pschulz01: then you need to install linux-headers-$(uname -r) and regenerate whatever kernel modules you had to generate before for the older kernel.
[03:51] <pschulz01> crimsun: VMware-workstation-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz
[03:51] <Sir-Montag> but I don't know whether it needs to be compiled on the laptop hardware or not
[03:52] <samsonasu> hello?
[03:52] <crimsun> samsonasu: don't ask to ask.
[03:52] <LjL> rixxon: then just  make an alias.  type    alias fastfind="`echo $PATH | tr ':' ' '` | find | grep"
[03:52] <samsonasu> im having a problem with my network it dies a few seconds after i boot up.  I can usually load one web page or ping something for a few seconds
[03:52] <LjL> rixxon: after that, you'll simply be able to type "fastfind blah"
[03:53] <samsonasu> after that I start seeing unroutable errors to my router
[03:53] <LjL> rixxon: and yes, my command does search for filenames
[03:53] <rixxon> LjL: uh nevermind, i didn't see the "find" there
[03:53] <dbcalo> is there a smaller package cd some where. trying to compile the 2.6.17 kernel to get wireless working but none of the dependencies i need are on the live cd. also trying to avoid downloading the whole dvd right now.
[03:53] <rixxon> LjL: thanks
[03:53] <crimsun> samsonasu: any clues from ``dmesg |tail''?
[03:53] <da`bahny> any problems using the package manager in ubuntu?
[03:53] <oomph_> crimsun: so should I get rid of this statement add 'apm=on acpi=off
[03:54] <crimsun> oomph_: probably not, I'm not familiar w/ your model (mine's an X41-2527)
[03:54] <oomph_> from my /boot/grub/ menu.lst file
[03:54] <AK7> aargh, whats the name of that hosting service everyone's always raving about?
[03:54] <eugman> Is there a way to make a list of all packages which are not a dependecie of an installed package?
[03:54] <crimsun> deborphan?
[03:54] <LjL> eugman: try debfoster
[03:54] <oomph_> what happens is when i open the lid to my laptop it powers up again
[03:54] <dbcalo> everything would be a-ok if i able to plug into an ethernet cable in this room.
[03:54] <oomph_> but i cant click anything
[03:54] <oomph_> the video comes back
[03:54] <oomph_> and i can move my mouse
[03:55] <samsonasu> it looks good to me.  the last thing in dmesg that references network says "no IPv6 routers present" and then "Registered protocol family 31"
[03:55] <LjL> eugman: follow crimsun's suggestion, deborphan is more appropriate
[03:55] <KrisWood> well, I loved using ubuntu for the last few days, I just wish I could have got my windows apps working properly in it. I'll keep using it on my server PC but my desktop machine is back to windows for now. Farewell everyone! Thanks to everyone who helped me out here over the last few days! :)
[03:55] <samsonasu> the network works prefectly when i boot from the livecd too, its only from the hd install that it is broken
[03:55] <Sir-Montag> anyone know how I would go about installing dapper on a laptop that only has a floppy drive (no cdrom, USB or any other input)? I can slave the hard drive to my regular machine - would that help?
[03:55] <Sivik> crimsum: i'm lost with trying to use update-initramfs to create a initrd
[03:56] <LjL> KrisWood: well, Wine is far from perfect i suppose.
[03:56] <HellDragon> hummmmmmmmm iit seems i cant get my music working at the same time while playing a game
[03:56] <Sivik> crimsun, it says to -c to create a new one but then it says create mode requires a version argument
[03:56] <da`bahny> crimsun.  anything wrong with the package manager?
[03:56] <eugman> Well deborphan doesn't do exactly what I'd like. For example Sometimes I install things temporarilly like fontforge and I forget about them.
[03:56] <GaiaX11> Drac|Mac,  have a look in http://amarok.kde.org/amarokwiki/index.php/MP3_on_Ubuntu_5.10
[03:56] <crimsun> Sivik: so pass it a version :)
[03:56] <Sivik> crimsun, i did
[03:56] <Zambezi> What can I use instead of MythTV?
[03:56] <freakabcd> hi all
[03:57] <Sivik> initrd.img-2.6.17
[03:57] <KrisWood> LjL 3dsmax won't even install on Wine or Crossover office, and is elusive in cedega. :-/ I'll give it a try again in a few years.
[03:57] <errpast-hc> anyone use pptpconfig gui front end for pptp connections
[03:57] <freakabcd> what package do i need to be able to do kernel devel?
[03:57] <da`bahny> Zambezi.  xawtv.
[03:57] <dbcalo> so am i stuck downloading the dvd to get the correct dependencies to compile the newest kernel to get my wireless working?
[03:57] <LjL> eugman: hmm i'm not sure... the description does say "It determines which packages have no other packages depending on their installation", which sounds just about like what you asped
[03:57] <errpast-hc> Am having trouble installing pptpconfig
[03:57] <Sivik> crimsun, is initrd.img-2.6.17 not the right way
[03:57] <crimsun> Sivik: no, it's not an initrd, so don't use any reference to initrd.
[03:57] <freakabcd> by that i mean writing modules, not necessarily the kernel tree itself
[03:57] <Sivik> crimsun, ok, then i'm still totally lost
[03:57] <crimsun> Sivik: it's an initramfs, and you only pass ``uname -r''
[03:57] <Zambezi> da`bahny, Can it record?
[03:57] <LjL> KrisWood: i suppose the 3D modelling programs for linux aren't enough developed to use them instead, yet?
[03:57] <Ackeubu_> heey i booted up as xubuntu???!!
[03:57] <Ackeubu_> after update..
[03:57] <da`bahny> no.  only capture i think.
[03:58] <Sivik> crimsun, then i guess i don't understand what i'm trying to do here
[03:58] <KrisWood> LjL: I do 3d modeling for a living. Some of my clients use proprietary 3dsmax plugins to export to their software
[03:58] <Zambezi> da`bahny, Works for me.
[03:58] <eugman> LjL, Well I think it only helps with cruft. For example i don't think it will show if nvu is installed.
[03:58] <nekostar> pcbsd here i cum
[03:58] <Mr_Freeman> is there an easy  way to  upgrade from breezy to hoary with out re-formatting my system?
[03:58] <corfe> how do I modify sensible-editor from the command line?
[03:58] <Mr_Freeman> err breezy to dapper
[03:58] <corfe> I want it to be vim, instead of whatever it is now.
[03:58] <KrisWood> If I want to keep making money I've got to keep using 3dsmax
[03:58] <AkumAPRIME> is there any way to make the desktop background change every X units of time, a la other distros?
[03:58] <crimsun> Sivik: the kernel can't find the directory because it doesn't have / mounted, does it?
[03:59] <Paradoxx> !amarok
[03:59] <LjL> KrisWood: i see, well that's the kind of situation where you really need windows i suppose. though VMWare is getting 3D acceleration right now (still experimental), so i think you'd be able to use 3DS under it in a short while
[03:59] <freakabcd> corfe, export EDITOR=vim
[03:59] <eugman> Mr_Freeman, yes , does update manager have an upgrade button when you run it?
[03:59] <pschulz01> crimsun: There is something odd going on.. It used to work for me.
[03:59] <freakabcd> on your current shell or put that in your ~/.bashrc
[03:59] <Paradoxx> how do i get amarok 1.4?
[03:59] <Mr_Freeman> im not sure one second
[03:59] <Sivik> crimsun, i have no clue
[03:59] <crimsun> Paradoxx: see the topic in #kubuntu
[03:59] <KrisWood> LjL: Parallels claims that they'll have that sort of thing running without much if any slowdown soon, but they're still not quite there yet
[03:59] <iiiears> What is the command to mount a remote samba directory?  Okay. NVM - just tell me what port samba uses?
[03:59] <LjL> eugman: it's just that by default it only shows the packages in the "lib" section. try "deborphan -a"
[03:59] <corfe> freakabcd: hmm. That'll work per session, but can't I tell the system to use it everytime?
[04:00] <crimsun> Sivik: please read the mkinitramfs man page, then. I have to return to work.
[04:00] <corfe> make sensible-editor "point" to vim?
[04:00] <Paradoxx> crimsun: but i am useing ubuntu
[04:00] <HellDragon> crimsun do you know why i can only use 1 thing at a time ? i cant listen to music and play
[04:00] <freakabcd> corfe, what do you mean sensible-editor
[04:00] <freakabcd> ?
[04:00] <Mr_Freeman> no it says my system is up to date
[04:00] <crimsun> HellDragon: because you need to use plug:dmix
[04:00] <Sivik> crimsun, i have read the man page, it makes no sens
[04:00] <Sivik> sense
[04:00] <HellDragon> what is that
[04:00] <NoUse> Paradoxx ubuntu and kubuntu are the same thing, just different Desktops
[04:00] <NoUse> !tell Paradoxx about amarok
[04:00] <geeksauce> i did a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and now totem won't play mp3's...am i going to have to re-install the packages to play mp3's EVERY time i upgrade?
[04:00] <LjL> eugman: look also at the "--priority" option
[04:01] <corfe> freakabcd: to be honest I'm using debian, but the people there are unresponsive. I was assuming this aspect of ubuntu was the same, perhaps incorrectly.
[04:01] <eugman> Mr_Freeman, Well there should be an upgrade option up top. Try running update-manager -d
[04:01] <HellDragon> how can i enable it crimsun ?
[04:01] <oomph_> LJL if Vmware gets 3d acceleration would we be able to play video games on it?
[04:01] <oomph_> :P
[04:01] <Ackeubu_> Hey guys is there a thing called eubuntu??
[04:01] <crimsun> HellDragon: it's already enabled unless you've created your own /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc*
[04:01] <LjL> oomph_: i suppose so, if it ever gets *decent* acceleration
[04:01] <NoUse> Ackeubu_ yes
[04:01] <LjL> Ackeubu_: there is *edu*buntu
[04:01] <NoUse> !tell Ackeubu_ about edubuntu
[04:01] <freakabcd> corfe, did you even check what this 'sensible-editor' is?
[04:02] <oomph_> ljl ever used Cdega?
[04:02] <HellDragon> it seems that is not already enabled :(
[04:02] <freakabcd> corfe, if not let me tell you: its a shell script
[04:02] <LjL> oomph_: tried it.
[04:02] <CarsomyrXIII> Ackeubu_: I think there's an enlightnement ubuntu or something saw it on wiki
[04:02] <oomph_> ljl: any good?
[04:02] <LjL> oomph_: with only one program (Orbiter). i'm not much of a gamer at all
[04:02] <corfe> freakabcd: oh
[04:02] <corfe> freakabcd: heh thanks
[04:02] <Ackeubu_> oohu, i thought eubuntu had something to do with enlightenment,. like kde has with kubuntu. :o
[04:02] <crimsun> HellDragon: no, it is enabled. ``grep default /usr/share/alsa/cards/EMU10K1X.conf''
[04:02] <LjL> oomph_: can't really say. it didn't work well with that one program, but you'd definitely have to try some more to say something.
[04:02] <freakabcd> corfe, if the EDITOR environment variable is set it WILL launch _your_ desired editor when sensible-editor is run
[04:02] <crimsun> HellDragon: sorry, but I have a teleconference now.
[04:02] <HellDragon> # default with dmix & dsnoop
[04:02] <HellDragon> EMU10K1X.pcm.default {
[04:03] <HellDragon> ok
[04:03] <oomph_> ljl: yeah i may try it some day
[04:03] <freakabcd> Ackeubu_, that ebuntu or e17buntu or whatever.. not edubuntu
[04:03] <HellDragon> i cant listen to 2 things at the same time !!!!!!!!
[04:04] <nathanael> How do I make the icons on my taskbar expand in Gnome? (I make the taskbar bigger, but the icons stay the same size!!)
[04:04] <geeksauce> anyone?
[04:04] <Ackeubu_> freakabcd, aah so there is ebuntu and edubuntu. he. a litle bit confusing
[04:04] <freakabcd> nathanael, complain to the gnome people!!
[04:04] <nathanael> Their chan is a ghost town
[04:04] <freakabcd> Ackeubu_, its quite confusing with all these meta distros
[04:04] <Ackeubu_> aye
[04:04] <hackob> -
[04:05] <iiiears> What port does samba use?   (netstat boggles the mind - too many open connections.)
[04:05] <nathanael> 139
[04:05] <Ackeubu_> freakabcd, im gonna log out and back in in enlightenment if i can. cya
[04:05] <thomasM> hello, i'm configuring gaim2beta3, and i need to know where the "dbus services directory" is... could somebody help me find this?
[04:05] <iiiears> nathaniel Thank You.
[04:05] <nathanael> NetBIOS/SMB
[04:05] <Sivik> anyone here understand how to use the mkinitramfs
[04:06] <corfe> freakabcd: you're right, and it was too complicated for my knowledge to edit, but I figured about my problem, thanks!
[04:06] <freakabcd> corfe, yes. you _don't_ need to edit sensible-editor. just set EDITOR to whatever you want and it will be run
[04:06] <amtneu> anyone here get network-manager to work with a broadcom card?
[04:06] <nomasteryoda> Sir-Montag, you getting any help?
[04:06] <Sivik> amtneu: use the new 2.6.17 kernel
[04:06] <Sir-Montag> nope
[04:06] <samsonasu> helldragon you might want to look into alsa i think that used to solve the problem although i dont know a lot about ubuntu
[04:07] <nomasteryoda> just sec
[04:07] <nathanael> Sorry mates, I'm just transforming my desktop into OSX, and the gnome bottom panel isn't co-operating
[04:07] <Sir-Montag> ok
[04:07] <amtneu> i think i have that kernal, let me check
[04:07] <Sir-Montag> thanks
[04:07] <Sivik> amtneu: the drivers should be native in the kernel
[04:07] <nathanael> The icons stay small - ironically, except for the trash bin, which grows proportionately
[04:07] <LjL> nathanael: OS X eh? how are you going to get top-of-the-screen menus? i bet you aren't :-)
[04:07] <freakabcd> HellDragon, as previously stated by someone. if you have only 1 stream playing at any 1 time, its probably because you're app(s) are using the oss device directly
[04:07] <nathanael> hmm
[04:07] <nathanael> now I shall have to
[04:08] <HellDragon> freakabcd, how can i change that ?
[04:08] <LjL> nathanael: easy, just get yourself KDE :-P
[04:08] <thomasM> nathaneal you might find better answers in the gnome irc channel...
[04:08] <iiiears> LjL - There are many mysteries hidden in gconf-editor.
[04:08] <nathanael> checked there - noone
[04:08] <LjL> iiiears: not that one mystery, for what i know. and i did search
[04:08] <geeksauce> alright, well at the very least, could uboto tell me about installing the right packages to play mp3's?
[04:08] <iiiears> hm
[04:08] <freakabcd> HellDragon, depends on app. example for mplayer: mplayer -ao alsa file1.mp3; then in another terminal/shell mplayer -ao alsa video1.avi
[04:08] <polpak> Anyone familiar with setting up multiheaded xorg config (using i810 driver) ?
[04:09] <NoUse> !mp3
[04:09] <ubotu> mp3 is probably a patented format; to enable mp3 capability see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[04:09] <amtneu> sivik: the card works, but network-manager doesent see it
[04:09] <HellDragon> im trying to listen music while playing
[04:09] <HellDragon> it was working yesterday..
[04:09] <freakabcd> HellDragon, the thing is you need to setup the apps to use the alsa device(s).
[04:09] <Elly> hey guys, is 4gb sufficient for a basic ubuntu desktop system?
[04:09] <polpak> Elly: yes
[04:09] <Boelcke> Elly, sure.
[04:09] <human> Elly, yeah
[04:09] <HellDragon> how can i make flash use alsa freakabcd ??
[04:09] <freakabcd> and even after you've done that, if one app (such as amsn) grabs the oss device, then you're stuck
[04:09] <thomasM> elly that + a home partition at least :D
[04:09] <HellDragon> i cant listen 2 flash animations at the same time , freakabcd
[04:09] <HellDragon> only 1 get sound
[04:10] <samsonasu> ok ubuntu reguses to work im going back to windows
[04:10] <samsonasu> ill try again next year!
[04:10] <Paradoxx> !amarok
[04:10] <ubotu> amarok is, like, a music player for Linux and Unix with an intuitive interface. See http://amarok.kde.org ; amaroK's features: http://amarok.kde.org/content/view/51/1/ - To install Amarok 1.4 on Ubuntu, see http://kubuntu.org/announcements/amarok-1.4.php
[04:10] <freakabcd> HellDragon, actually i haven't figured that out myself :( i wanted to do that same thing the other day
[04:10] <HellDragon> but it was working for me yesterday!
[04:10] <thomasM> so nobody knows where the dbus services folder is located?
[04:10] <NoUse> samsonasu if you ask for help we might be able to assist
[04:10] <garryfre> Here is a mystery for folks. When I try to shut down my computer, instead of turning off, it reboots. It used to work fine. If I remove a card or driver it might fix it for a week, then it starts doing this again. It happens whether I'm running Windows, Slackware, or Ubuntu dapper. I've done tons of research tried all manner of bios settings. No permanant joy. MB is Intel D865 Perl Audology 2 Sound blaster.
[04:10] <LjL> nathanael: look at the third of these screenshots. *that's* OSX-like. http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=34993
[04:10] <samsonasu> like i said my network card dies after 10 seconds after i installed
[04:11] <samsonasu> it works perfectly from the livecd
[04:11] <samsonasu> i cant for the life of me figure out what is different between the two
[04:11] <thomasM> garryfre its definitely your motherboard then.
[04:11] <polpak> samsonasu: probably a misconfiguration
[04:11] <NoUse> samsonasu what kind of network card?
[04:11] <polpak> samsonasu: which seems like a silly reason to give up
[04:11] <samsonasu> it came with my dell
[04:11] <NoUse> samsonasu ok... model? make?
[04:12] <samsonasu> lspci says its a Davicom Semiconductor 21x4x DEC-Tulip compatible
[04:12] <garryfre> thomasM Something sure, strange. I was thinking maybe something on the hard drives or bios, for it worked fine for a month. First windows started doing this, then slackware, lastly ubuntu.
[04:13] <Sivik> how do i go about creating a new initramfs
[04:13] <samsonasu> although i cant figure out what kernel module its using
[04:13] <HellDragon> brb
[04:13] <GaiaX11> how do i access another machine throgh vnc. I have xvncviewer and the other machine has tightvncserver
[04:13] <freakabcd> samsonasu, what dell laptop ?
[04:14] <garryfre> dmesg might tell you waht module.
[04:14] <samsonasu> its a desktop
[04:14] <NoUse> samsonasu search the forums next time :-) http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=186430
[04:14] <iamcitizen> Hey guys, when I turn on my computer, Grub loads fine, and then it goes to the next page, and it has some text, and then it says "Ok, Booting the kernel..." After that, it just sits at a black screen, but it used to display the start up processes, with that progress bar. I can still boot, but I would like to have that progress bar. Any ideas?
[04:14] <benkong2> could someone look at this and tell me why my mouse stops scrolling in firefox? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16040
[04:15] <samsonasu> grahaha nouse you are the man
[04:15] <samsonasu> i swear i searched the forums earlier but never for davicom
[04:15] <benkong2> also I have a logitech media mouse USB style
[04:15] <bigbadgoat> hi, not sure if i'm in the right room, need help setting wireless on a laptop
[04:16] <NoUse> samsonasu I actually just punch the line you gave me from lspci and added 'ubuntu'
[04:16] <NoUse> samsonasu into google
[04:16] <iamcitizen> what's up, bigbadgoat?
[04:16] <samsonasu> heh
[04:16] <whitesuit> hi, do you guys know any msn compliant instant messenger that allows to receive and send voice messages?
[04:16] <bigbadgoat> trying to get wireless internet working on my laptop
[04:16] <human> whitesuit, GAIM
[04:16] <iamcitizen> whitesuit, aMSN
[04:16] <benkong2> one other question. I made a seperate user for my grand children with limited access. How can I install flash in firefox for them. They cannot su to root
[04:17] <Sivik> bigbadgoat, what wireless card?
[04:17] <dooglus> human: he said *voice*
[04:17] <NoUse> benkong2 if you installed flash via synaptic they will have it too
[04:17] <whitesuit> human, how can i activate it in gaim?
[04:17] <bigbadgoat> internal, intel
[04:17] <iamcitizen> aMSN has voice and video
[04:17] <iamcitizen> ok
[04:17] <benkong2> NoUse: ok let me check
[04:17] <garryfre> I dunno about the mouse issue in firefox, but I see you are not using the accellerated nvidia drivers but the default non-hardware accellerated driver "nv". You might want to get some more speed out of that card.
[04:17] <SurfnKid> whats the extension in gimp to save to xpm.gz
[04:18] <samsonasu> NoUse yea now i feel dumb
[04:18] <iamcitizen> bigbadgoat, click on System, then Administration, then Networking
[04:18] <bigbadgoat> a buddy of mine already set it up for a WPA account I have at university, which works fine, now I need to set it up on my WEP network at home
[04:18] <MdSalih> how can i share a ubuntu folder over the network with an xp machine.. do i need to install samba on the xp machine?
[04:18] <iamcitizen> you will be prompted for your PW
[04:18] <NoUse> samsonasu hey as long as its working, we're happy :-)
[04:18] <bigbadgoat> I have done that
[04:18] <iamcitizen> ok
[04:18] <iamcitizen> what happens?
[04:18] <samsonasu> now i just have to try to get my dual head nvidia to work
[04:18] <bigbadgoat> it just refuses to connect
[04:18] <samsonasu> and ill be set :)
[04:18] <gavagai> MdSalih, you can share it with nfs or samba.  you don't need to install anything on the xp machine.
[04:18] <iiiears> !wine
[04:18] <ubotu> Wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on linux.  see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Wine for more info.
[04:19] <dooglus> MdSalih: no, only on ubuntu
[04:19] <SurfnKid> would anyone know the extension for saving xpm.gz from gimp. is it xcl.gz?
[04:19] <freakabcd> samsonasu, dualhead on nvidia (or intel) is a piece of cake
[04:19] <benkong2> NoUse: I did install flashplugin-nonfree from synaptic. could it have something to do with the groups I put them in?
[04:19] <iamcitizen> bigbadgoat, go to the terminal and do "sudo apt-get install network-manager"
[04:19] <NoUse> benkong2 possibly, its not showing up in their firefox?
[04:19] <iamcitizen>  Hey guys, when I turn on my computer, Grub loads fine, and then it goes to the next page, and it has some text, and then it says "Ok, Booting the kernel..." After that, it just sits at a black screen, but it used to display the start up processes, with that progress bar. I can still boot, but I would like to have that progress bar. Any ideas?
[04:20] <benkong2> NoUse: no when they go to a flash site they get need to install plugin
[04:20] <iiiears> !ubotu wine is also <reply> Wine for 64 bit. http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit
[04:20] <ubotu> iiiears: okay
[04:20] <bigbadgoat> what did that do?
[04:20] <freakabcd> iamcitizen, check your menu.lst file for inclusion of 'splash' and 'quiet'
[04:20] <eclypse> hey all when I try to compile a program from source, ./configure reviels the following error... No package 'gtk+2.0' found. anyone know?
[04:20] <iamcitizen> ok
[04:20] <iamcitizen> hold up
[04:21] <samsonasu> freakabcd do you have a link?  I saw a post with 3 different methods to try is that the one?
[04:21] <Sivik> eclypse, then you need to install gtk
[04:21] <ubuntu_> hi, i have linksys WPC11 v4 in my laptop. How can I install the driver in ubuntu 5.1?
[04:21] <eclypse> exactly what do I type into apt-get?
[04:21] <NoUse> benkong2 they should be readable to everyone
[04:21] <benkong2> NoUse: hmmmm....??
[04:21] <iamcitizen> freakabcd, i see it a few times
[04:21] <NoUse> eclypse what program?
[04:21] <uXp> who knows of a nice music player, nice and simple besides xmms
[04:21] <puff> How do I see what graphics hardware this machine has?
[04:21] <eclypse> its a program called ophcrack-2.2
[04:21] <NoUse> puff lspci
[04:22] <Boelcke> CLI syntax help! I can mount an nfs drive specifying the IP address, but it won't work with the hostname. "mount -t nfs <IP_ADDRESS>:/shared" works, but not "mount -t nfs ubuntubox:/shared"  Why not?
[04:22] <puff> I don't see anyhting obvious under /proc, maybe i'm missing it.
[04:22] <NoUse> eclypse if its asking gtk you need the -dev package, it will be libgtk2.0-dev probably
[04:22] <freakabcd> samsonasu, i don't remember all the links. but heres the gist: 2 monitor sections, 2 device sections, 2 screen sections. then in the serverlayout section you need the xinerama setup: screen1 leftof screen0 (or similar)
[04:22] <NoUse> eclypse search synaptic
[04:22] <eclypse> k
[04:22] <iamcitizen> freakabcd, my first option on the list looks like this: kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-25-386 root=/dev/hda2 ro quiet splash
[04:22] <freakabcd> samsonasu, oh and if you're nvidia. you _must_ have Option "Twinview" on
[04:23] <freakabcd> or is it TwinView
[04:23] <bigbadgoat> do I need to do anything else?
[04:23] <buggzero> pray
[04:23] <buggzero> that it works
[04:23] <freakabcd> don't remember exactly. but thats the only difference between regular xinerama and nvidia xinerama
[04:23] <ubuntu_> Hi, any body use Linksys PCMCIA wireless card in ubuntu?
[04:23] <NoUse> freakabcd samsonasu I think its all listed here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo
[04:23] <samsonasu> sweet thanks guys
[04:24] <freakabcd> NoUse, its no use to me. i already have xinerama working great on intel i815
[04:24] <freakabcd> ;)
[04:24] <RadiantFire> freakabcd: what do you mean?
[04:24] <freakabcd> RadiantFire, huh?
[04:24] <RadiantFire> freakabcd: intel cards can handle multiple displays?
[04:24] <samsonasu> im gonna go grab some dinner.  now that my network is up do you guys recommend an irc client?  the last one i used on linux was bitchx and that was a million years ago
[04:24] <bigbadgoat> that didnt help
[04:24] <bigbadgoat> still no connection
[04:24] <freakabcd> RadiantFire, err.. yeah the laptop ones can for a few years already~~
[04:25] <Davo_Dinkum> i use GAIM for IRC and it works well
[04:25] <RadiantFire> freakabcd: I have a laptop with an intel card
[04:25] <freakabcd> were you living under a rock?
[04:25] <RadiantFire> freakabcd: how would I go about using it should I so desire
[04:25] <samsonasu> woah gaim does irc
[04:25] <freakabcd> RadiantFire, what card
[04:25] <dooglus> samsonasu: irssi
[04:25] <samsonasu> crazy
[04:25] <RadiantFire> i think its i915
[04:25] <GaiaX11> samsonasu, xchat
[04:25] <RadiantFire> lemme check real quick
[04:25] <Phenom_2> Hello
[04:25] <ZeZu> is there anyway to change a username, other than recreating and deleting ?
[04:25] <puff>  Hm, on my old ubuntu install (hoary, on my laptop) i can right-click open terminal, but on this dapper install I just set up, that's not there.
[04:25] <oomph_> sam: koversation is good or Xchat
[04:25] <uXp> samsonasu:  i say Xchat
[04:25] <buggzero> gaim is better than xchat for irc
[04:25] <freakabcd> RadiantFire, there shouldn't be any problems for you for having xinerama
[04:25] <puff> Either I added that and forgot about it, or something changed.
[04:25] <samsonasu> ok cool ill see you cats later
[04:25] <Davo_Dinkum> irssi is for the CLI junkie
[04:25] <iamcitizen> freakabcd, i see this: kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-25-386 root=/dev/hda2 ro quiet splash
[04:25] <dooglus> ZeZu: sudo usermod -l newname oldname
[04:25] <RadiantFire> freakabcd: so, what happens when I plug a monitor into the hack in the back?
[04:26] <puff> NoUse: domo.
[04:26] <ZeZu> danke
[04:26] <oomph_> bitchx not bad
[04:26] <uXp> halo
[04:26] <freakabcd> RadiantFire, i can paste my current xorg.conf if you desire to see it (and amend it to your configuration)
[04:26] <RadiantFire> sure
[04:26] <whitesuit> how can i send voice messages in aMSN without using webcam?
[04:26] <dooglus> Davo_Dinkum: the CLI for irssi is pretty easy:  you type "irssi" and hit return...
[04:26] <ZeZu> now lets see if it works brb
[04:26] <bigbadgoat> sigh..
[04:26] <samsonasu> i like command line stuff i think ill give irssi a spin
[04:26] <OniAnubis> anyone here know anything about the sparc port?
[04:26] <Davo_Dinkum> dooglus: yeah ive used it b4
[04:26] <freakabcd> RadiantFire, if you just plug in the external monitor, chances are nothing will happen :( cos you need to setup xorg.conf for the xinerama support
[04:26] <Hermitis> Can someone help me out with installing Battlefield 2 in Ubuntu? I'm using wine but I keep getting a message when I try to run setup.exe "You need administrative rivilages to do this" ???
[04:26] <RadiantFire> freakabcd: I don't suppose I could use Guidance to configre it?
[04:27] <freakabcd> Guidance? never heard of it.
[04:27] <freakabcd> trust me its easy as pie
[04:27] <Boelcke> Sorry to repeat a questio about mounting: I can mount an nfs drive specifying the IP address, but it won't work with the hostname. "mount -t nfs <IP_ADDRESS>:/shared" works, but not "mount -t nfs ubuntubox:/shared"  Why not?
[04:27] <varsendaggr> Hermitis, try sudo
[04:27] <RadiantFire> freakabcd: the nifty xorg configurator in kubuntu's system settings
[04:27] <bigbadgoat> is there a better room for wireless issues?
[04:27] <dooglus> Boelcke: I guess because the client doesn't know the name ubuntubox?
[04:27] <freakabcd> wait, take a look at my xorg.conf first. then you decide if you really need to use Guidance, ok?
[04:27] <dooglus> Boelcke: add it to /etc/hosts
[04:27] <Davo_Dinkum> anyone using bootchart? i installed it but i dont know how to make it run at startup
[04:28] <Boelcke> dooglus, do I add the name of the computer I'm connecting TO to my /etc/hosts file?!?
[04:28] <OniAnubis> is there an irc channel just for the sparc version of ubuntu?
[04:28] <Drac|Mac> GaiaX11, heya, I'm back again. After doing  sudo apt-get install libmad0 gstreamer0.8-mad, apps still have no access to ALSA, it seems. What were you saying before about the audio pemissions thing?
[04:28] <gavagai> Drac|Mac, is your user in the audio group?
[04:28] <Drac|Mac> This keyboard has no insert key, and yet I seem to be stuck in insert mode. How can I get out of this?
[04:28] <Davo_Dinkum> bootchart, anyone?
[04:28] <dooglus> Boelcke: you add its name and IP address (but in the opposite order)
[04:29] <Drac|Mac> gavagai, yep.
[04:29] <Boelcke> When I poll my router, it seems to know both ubuntu computer's hostnames...
[04:29] <dooglus> Boelcke: try running "host ubuntubox" to check whether it can resolve the hostname
[04:29] <Boelcke> dooglus, but the whole reason I want to use the name, is because with DHCP, the name keeps changing!  running it...
[04:29] <dooglus> Boelcke: I see
[04:29] <dooglus> Boelcke: does "host ubuntubox" find its address?
[04:30] <Boelcke> dooglus, nope.  It doesn't find the address of either PC.
[04:30] <dooglus> Boelcke: that's the problem then
[04:30] <freakabcd> RadiantFire, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16041
[04:30] <OniAnubis> is there a graphical dns config for ubuntu?
[04:30] <garryfre> I saw that there is an option called mounthouse=name. You might try that Boelcke
[04:30] <Boelcke> dooglus, Um, okay, but what's the question?  ;)
[04:30] <garryfre> er mounthost
[04:31] <dooglus> Boelcke: the question was "why doesn't mount work when I give the hostname, but it does when I give the IP address?"
[04:31] <wenko> netbios names
[04:31] <wenko> or no dns server
[04:31] <garryfre> Try putting mounthost= before the name?
[04:31] <Boelcke> dooglus, I'm sorry to be dense, but, I mean, why can't I refer to these PCs by the hostname?  I'm still not getting it.  I can ping the IP, but not the hostname.
[04:31] <freakabcd> RadiantFire, few things to notice: only additions to the already present xorg.conf will be: 1 extra device section (identical to existing one), 1 extra monitor section, 1 extra screen section(can be identical.. but not always is), and additional line in Serverlayout
[04:31] <benkong2> brb
[04:31] <RadiantFire> freakabcd: yeah
[04:31] <RadiantFire> i gotit
[04:32] <HellDragon> my sound is not workin anymore
[04:32] <wenko> DNS
[04:32] <wenko> WINS
[04:32] <wenko> NetBIOS
[04:32] <wenko> u need one of those 3
[04:32] <wenko> not wins becauseof linux, and netbios is local...so..use ur hosts file
[04:32] <wenko> or make a dns server
[04:33] <|rt|> i just updated and X failed to start...i believe i need to update the nvidia driver...how do i use apt to find the name of the package?
 your ubuntu box is not resolving the hostnames to the ip addresses. You need a dns server or you need to add the ip addresses and host names to your /etc/hosts file
[04:33] <HellDragon> anyone can give me the log when i was talking with crimsun ?
[04:33] <garryfre> Looks like wenko is onto something. Your machine doesn't know what the address is for your host name so it can't resolve it.
[04:33] <freakabcd> RadiantFire, care to try it out now? man i even have aiglx+compiz working on this laptop and its funky
[04:33] <Boelcke> OniAnubis, and my router can't be the dns server?
[04:33] <dooglus> Boelcke: I don't know why.  Does http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-88206.html help?
[04:33] <Boelcke> dooglus, checking...
[04:33] <dooglus> OniAnubis: he's using DHCP
[04:33] <OniAnubis> what router do you have?
[04:33] <gri6507> Hi everybody. can anyone help with a noob (sortof) question about NVidia drivers / GLX / 3D accelration?
[04:33] <dooglus> OniAnubis: so /etc/hosts doesn't help
[04:33] <freakabcd> but i don't use it all the time. i revert to the xinerama setup for most of my work :)
[04:33] <Abnix> ack! how do I find out which ubuntu version I'm on?
[04:34] <varsendaggr> http://www.aardvark.co.nz/pjet/gokart.htm
[04:34] <freakabcd> Abnix, cat /etc/lsb-release
[04:34] <iiiears> !glx
[04:34] <ubotu> iiiears: Some people juggle geese. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[04:34] <Boelcke> If I add the hostnames and IP address to the hosts file, it won't help because occasionally, they get different DHCP assigned IPs...
[04:34] <RadiantFire> freakabcd: i don't have a mnitor lying around to test it on...
[04:34] <iiiears> !xgl
[04:34] <ubotu> XGL on Ubuntu: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager - Join #ubuntu-xgl for all the XGL fun on Ubuntu systems.  Pretty videos on http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[04:34] <garryfre> !nvidia
[04:34] <ubotu> nvidia is probably a graphics card manufacturer. For help about installing the Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu, you can visit the Ubuntu WIki at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[04:34] <RadiantFire> more academic curiosity sh ould the need ever arise
[04:34] <OniAnubis> how many computers do you have in your network?
[04:34] <gri6507> Boelcke: Thanks. I'll go there
[04:35] <HellDragon> anyone can give me the LOGS when i was talking with crim ???????????
[04:35] <freakabcd> RadiantFire, anyway. you've got the idea and a sample file now. i'm very happy with xinerama though, gives me more real estate
[04:35] <Hermitis> Ok, while installing BattleField2 it asks for Disc2 but Ubuntu won'
[04:35] <buggzero> who can help me sort out a Compiz/Xmodmap puzzle?
[04:35] <Hermitis> Ok, while installing BattleField2 it asks for Disc2 but Ubuntu won't eject the disc because its in use?
[04:35] <HellDragon> me want LOGS
[04:35] <OniAnubis> Does anyone know if the SPARC port supports FCAL devices?
[04:35] <MdSalih> I am trying to use samba to share a ubuntu folder with an xp machine over network... once i've right clicked the folder.. entered the shared settings... set it up... and then go to xp box... try browse to it... it asks for user/pass..
[04:35] <wenko> wtf....grep command not found ?!?!
[04:35] <iiiears> eject -f
[04:35] <HellDragon> logssssssssss
[04:35] <garryfre> IS there a  window open to the disk? if so it will think it's still in use.
[04:35] <MdSalih> i enter ubuntu user/pass ... it rejects it :(
[04:36] <HellDragon> loooooooooooooggggggggggggsssssssss :(
[04:36] <Hermitis> iiiears "device is busy"
[04:36] <Abnix> HellDragon: when was this?
[04:36] <SurfnKid> whats the rename command?
[04:36] <RizCk> im having problems with openGL in ubuntu 6.06 with XGL
[04:36] <HellDragon> soem mins ago
[04:36] <Boelcke> dooglus, thanks for the reference to ubuntuforums, I'm going to try that out now.  BRB.
[04:36] <freakabcd> SurfnKid, theres 'rename' and 'mv'
[04:36] <RizCk> anyone knows what could solve it .
[04:36] <HellDragon> when i was talking with crim
[04:36] <SurfnKid> freakabcd: ok thx
[04:36] <dooglus> Boelcke: I just tried it.  No reboot or anything is needed.
[04:37] <iiiears> Hermitis: !!!?
[04:37] <|rt|> hmm X is failing to start....with an nvidia error...apt-get install nvidia-glx says i'm up to date
[04:37] <|rt|> any ideas?
[04:37] <HellDragon> what about all the spam here ?
[04:37] <dooglus> Boelcke: I'm on a windows network - it worked for me, but that's probably because it's a windows network.  I don't know if your router will speak 'wins', but it's worth a try I guess
[04:37] <Hermitis> iiiears, i try eject -f and it says "Device busy umount failed"
[04:37] <iiiears> Hermitis: I don't have the answer. !!!?
[04:38] <freakabcd> iiiears, its a lame ass installer if its keeping disc1 busy and asking for disc2
[04:38] <HellDragon> nobody can give me a log file ?
[04:38] <Boelcke> dooglus, Windows has recently become less popular in this house, so I'm currently running two ubuntu boxes.  But this stuff worked fine with Windows before. I guess I'll need to install that on both of PCs.
[04:38] <dooglus> wenko: "ls -l /bin/grep" ?
[04:38] <freakabcd> HellDragon, what the heck you need the log file for?
[04:38] <HellDragon> i forgot the commands crim told me
[04:38] <freakabcd> for what?
[04:39] <garryfre> Try this ... sudo nvidia-glx-config enable and then close all apps, and do ctrl-alt-backspace
[04:39] <HellDragon> for everything
[04:39] <HellDragon> i need the logs
[04:39] <Abnix> dont worry, I jsut linked him a copy of my log
[04:39] <wenko> doog: yeah its there
[04:39] <freakabcd> huh? what the heck is everything?
[04:39] <wenko> it just wont open....hmm restart time
[04:39] <HellDragon> thnak you Abnix
[04:39] <freakabcd> wenko, then why did you say grep not found?
[04:39] <brimble> !
[04:39] <ubotu> I give up. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, brimble
[04:39] <wenko> because when i put in grep it didnt opn it said cmd not found
[04:39] <wenko> BUT its in the bin folder
[04:40] <freakabcd> wenko, maybe you're PATH var is screwed up
[04:40] <freakabcd> echo $PATH
[04:40] <dooglus> wenko: check your PATH
[04:40] <garryfre> Maybe what you are searching for was not found by grep.
[04:40] <wenko> wtf!!! PATH is just a :
[04:40] <dooglus> wenko: but then, if you can run "ls"...
[04:40] <wenko> ok...restart time
[04:40] <freakabcd> wenko, haha
[04:40] <dooglus> how can you run 'ls' then?
[04:40] <freakabcd> what do you mean restart?
[04:40] <wenko> i dont have a clue
[04:40] <wenko> someting is messed
[04:40] <dooglus> wenko: type "type ls"
[04:40] <polpak> wenko: you don't need to restart
[04:41] <wenko> irssi works, awk works....
[04:41] <wenko> cut works
[04:41] <wenko> ls works
[04:41] <wenko> OMFG grep is working now
[04:41] <wenko> what is going on
[04:41] <billybennett> anyone know about k9copy
[04:41] <garryfre> typeo
[04:41] <dooglus> wenko: different terminal windows?
[04:41] <freakabcd> wenko, no. youre PATH _is_ messed
[04:41] <wenko> nope
[04:41] <HellDragon> im so pissed off
[04:41] <wenko> yes path is still mesed
[04:41] <freakabcd> echo $PATH; ls
[04:41] <|rt|> i just let dapper update...it told me I needed to reboot, I'm assuming it updated the kernel.....and X won't start says Module nvidia not found but apt-get install nvidia-glx tells me that the newest version is already installed
[04:42] <|rt|> can anyone help me sort that out
[04:42] <CanadianSnow> hows the new version of ubuntu?
[04:42] <Hermitis> My cd-rom won't eject now so I can't put in Disc2, fun fun fun :)
[04:42] <reazon> #join ubuntu-fr
[04:42] <wenko> yeah they both worked
[04:42] <wenko> k imrestarting that box
[04:42] <freakabcd> |rt|, you'll have to rebuild the kernel module, or reinstall the nvidia-glx package iirc
[04:42] <dooglus> wenko: no need.  just ". /etc/environment"
[04:42] <CanadianSnow> whats ubuntu-fr?
[04:42] <polpak> |rt|: try removing it and reinstall
[04:42] <pschulz01> crimsun: Relating to previous vmware compile problem.. any ideas what has happened to the g++-3.4 package?
[04:42] <|rt|> modprobe nvidia couldn't find the module
[04:42] <Boelcke> Ooooooooo -- like butter! dooglus, you're my new personal hero.  Thanks to all for the help and discussion!
[04:42] <polpak> |rt|: by it I mean the nvidia module
[04:43] <ron_o> Hermitis, your cd-rom won't eject because it's still mounted. You must unmount it.
[04:43] <|rt|> freakabcd: how do you force it to reinstall with apt?
[04:43] <dooglus> Boelcke: what?  adding 'wins' to the list fixed it?
[04:43] <polpak> |rt|: just remove it first
[04:43] <Hermitis> ron_o, Umount failed, device is busy
[04:43] <dooglus> Boelcke: I wasn't holding out much hope that it would to be honest...
[04:43] <polpak> |rt|: sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-glx
[04:43] <ron_o> Hermitis, it happened to me too, both in ubuntu, xubuntu and also in Windows. It's really a common problem.
[04:43] <|rt|> ok...why didn't this auto update properly with the kernel...is there a setting that I can set to prevent it from happening again?
[04:43] <garryfre> |rt|: I had same issue and fixed it by doing these instructions here in the following url but I know there is a better more up-to-date page. ... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[04:43] <freakabcd> |rt|, err..
[04:44] <freakabcd> why the heck would he need to purge?
[04:44] <CanadianSnow> hows the new version of ubuntu?
[04:44] <Boelcke> dooglus, I added wins to one PC, and installed winbind, and suddenly I'm able to ping both PCs.  And mount them using the hostname, not the IP address.
[04:44] <ron_o> if you're in the directory then get out, otherwise find out why it's not unmounted. The quickest fix for now is to restart..
[04:44] <freakabcd> sudo apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-glx
[04:44] <polpak> |rt|: I don't think it's a kernel issue
[04:44] <garryfre> congrats Boelcke
[04:44] <CanadianSnow> worth updating?
[04:44] <freakabcd> err.. iirc it _is_
[04:44] <Davo_Dinkum> canada: yep
[04:44] <buggzero> Okay I REALLY need some Xmodmap help, button combinations are doing wiered things
[04:44] <ron_o> but the issue isn't one of Dapper or Ubuntu. It's another issue all together.
[04:44] <Boelcke> dooglus, I think this actually solves two problems for me.  One, I can now put shares I want automatically mounted in my fstab.  Two, I think it helps solves a printsharing issue I'm still struggling with.
[04:44] <|rt|> polpak: yeah i'm sure it's just a matter of the modules not getting updated
[04:44] <panthar> I have a strange streaming issue - both XMMS and Rhythmbox will play local MP3 files fine, but freeze on at least half of the streams I try. Any ideas/links/etc?
[04:44] <freakabcd> cos the nvidia kernel module does _not_ exist yet for the new kernel he installed
[04:45] <wenko> wow.....path works now
[04:45] <freakabcd> hence X fails to load
[04:45] <AngryElf> i'm setting up lirc with mplayer and everything's good except 'config = exit' doesn't work correctly, it's in 'mplayer -input cmdlist, so i'm not sure what's wrong -- what's it suppose to be?
[04:45] <wenko> looks right
[04:45] <SeanTater> nekostar: why pcbsd?
[04:45] <|rt|> polpak: but under gentoo i just run module-rebuild
[04:45] <megasquid> i have both gcj and the sun version of java installed, how do i set the sun version as default?
[04:45] <Boelcke> garryfre, yeah, there's nothing like a point in the right direction!
[04:45] <|rt|> and it takes care of updating the modules after a kernel update
[04:45] <bigbadgoat> help with wireless on a laptop anyone?
[04:45] <polpak> |rt|: hrm.. I've never had a problem updating kernels w/ my ati driver
[04:45] <garryfre> say Boelcke Yep. :)
[04:45] <polpak> |rt|: But I suppose it's possible
[04:45] <freakabcd> polpak, does the ati driver have a kernel module as well?
[04:45] <nekostar> SeanTater, why not ;p ubuntu is my other boot
[04:46] <freakabcd> if not, then his problem is completely different
[04:46] <freakabcd> i.e. what i outlined earlier
[04:46] <Abnix> anyone have a preference for a works-out-of-the-box IMAP or POP3 server for outlook to play nice with?
[04:46] <garryfre> Bah, I'm too stupid to remember to put a / before say.
[04:46] <polpak> freakabcd: yes  fglrx
[04:46] <SeanTater> nekostar: personally I perfer the GPL licencing
[04:46] <|rt|> polpak: it's probably a setting that I need to set in synaptic
[04:47] <garryfre> mount /mnt/mybrain fsconfused .... Object not found.
[04:47] <VR_> is there a command that'll show me when my ip will expire?
[04:47] <Boelcke> Abnix, you're talking about connecting to an IMAP, or running the server?
[04:47] <freakabcd> garryfre, too bad, theres no brain ;)
[04:47] <niki> how do i change what a symbolic link points to?
[04:47] <polpak> niki: remove it, and make a new link
[04:47] <dooglus> Boelcke: I'm not sure what, if any, the security implications of running this winbind thing are.  NetBIOS has a reputation for being exploitable - and winbind is a netbios server?  maybe?
[04:47] <freakabcd> niki, man ln, check out the -f option
[04:47] <nekostar> SeanTater, honestly  its better than stealling windows so i dont pay attention as long as what i need is there.......... for the most paart.......... which only means ive not taken much of a stand yet
[04:48] <niki> polpak, what would be the command to create a symbolic link called 'libGL.so.1' that points to 'libGL.so.1.2' ?
[04:48] <garryfre> say freakabcd ### I got straw, a heart, but no brain sings the scarecrow.
[04:48] <|rt|> well uninstalling and reinstalling didn't work...i uninstalled and did an apt-get clean
[04:48] <|rt|> trying to reinstall now
[04:48] <freakabcd> heh garryfre
[04:48] <HellDragon> Q!$//"
[04:48] <Abnix> Boelcke: I'm very sorry, I didn't realize my question was...confusing...  Yes, I'd like to run a server, to which I can connect a windows machine running outlook...
[04:48] <polpak> niki: ln -s libGL.so.1.2 libGL.so.1
[04:48] <dooglus> niki: "ln -sf" - or "rm", then "ln"
[04:48] <Boelcke> dooglus, hm.  Um.
[04:49] <SeanTater> nekostar: the reason I prefer the GPL is because what is open will always be open and only open, BSD, not so much. But Open Source in general is still good, (and [most]  anything is better than windows)
[04:49] <niki> polpak, OMG thank you...i FINALLY fixed a problem i've been having ever since i upgraded to dapper :D:D:D
[04:49] <OniAnubis> can you set up a dhcp server and a dns server on the same box so that when a host gets its address from dhcp, the dns is updated as well?
[04:49] <freakabcd> what exactly is the motive for saying ... most anything ...
[04:50] <freakabcd> is that really proper usage?
[04:50] <freakabcd> just wondering
[04:50] <Boelcke> Abnix, I haven't any experience with that, then.  I've tried fastmail, a free IMAP email account provider (gotta pay for enough space) to solve some of my cross-platform, multi computer needs...
[04:50] <lightstar> OniAnubis, u can install both services on the same machine
[04:50] <nekostar> agreed compaired to windows..
[04:50] <polpak> niki: =)
[04:50] <Abnix> Boelcke: no worries, the kind folks in #gentoo pointed me towards qmail...
[04:50] <|rt|> hmm no dice.....even after an apt-get clean and reinstalling nvidia-glx and rebooting it's not finding the nvidia module
[04:51] <lightstar> OniAnubis, however what do u mean by dns update as well?
[04:51] <MakeGho> Anyone experienced with a problem like this: every other character in the screen suddenly started blinking about three minutes ago, and I can figure out no way to stop it?
[04:51] <freakabcd> Abnix, theres been wars fought over postfix and qmail ;p
[04:51] <garryfre> |rt|: The module version, must match the kernel version you are using. Could that be the issue?
[04:51] <alth> Hey guys, having a bit of an interesting problem here...my / partition has 1.9 gb of space on it, but my home partition is full. Is there any way I can use some of the space in my / to store files?
[04:52] <MakeGho> in all virtual terminals..
[04:52] <ubuntu_> Hi
[04:52] <OniAnubis> lets say my hostname is OniAnubis and my pc is set as a dhcp client.  You have to have permission to do so..
[04:52] <ron_o> alth, can
[04:52] <polpak> Abnix: I thought qmail was an SMTP server
[04:52] <polpak> |rt|: are you using the vesa driver now?
[04:52] <ubuntu_> Have anybody able to use compusa/PCMCIA wireless G card in ubuntu?
[04:52] <|rt|> garryfre: it could be the problem....how do i use apt-get to show the current version of nvidia-glx
[04:52] <ron_o> can't you expand your home directory via gparted?
[04:52] <|rt|> polpak: nope....i'm on a different machine
[04:52] <lightstar> OniAnubis, is there any reason you can't use static ip and let your local dns point to you?
[04:53] <ron_o> obviously don't do that w/o a backup.
[04:53] <|rt|> polpak: at the moment I just have console on my ubuntu machine
[04:53] <alth> ron_o: I'm dualbooting, don't really want to mess with my partitions.
[04:53] <andresxtremo> nn+
[04:53] <Yonda> I have Unreal Tournament 2004 on CD, and would like to install it...On the cd there is a linux-install.sh file, how can I run this?
[04:53] <dooglus> alth: you can use symlinks to make parts of / appear to be inside /home/<you>/
[04:53] <alth> Yonda: ./linux-install.sh?
[04:53] <ron_o> ahhh, but there should be no reason why you can't just create a folder in / and have access read & write to it.
[04:53] <lightstar> ron_o, only if /home is on a diff partition
[04:53] <garryfre> |rt| I am not sure.e have you tried activating the driver with the line in this url??   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[04:53] <freakabcd> Yonda, after you've mounted the cd just run it in the shell
[04:54] <polpak> OniAnubis: I assume you have a dhcp server running that's assigning the IP's you could either configure the interface statically, or you could tell the dhcp server to always assign you the same ip every time
[04:54] <Tonren> Hey guys, I have AMD64 Dapper on my laptop and I'm regretting it because I have to jump through fiery hoops to get Flash working in Firefox.  If I want to install 32 bit, do I have to reformat?
[04:54] <OniAnubis> I could use static, but I think it would be neat if I didn't have to use a static ip and the rest of the network computers just "know" what my ip always is  even if it changes
[04:54] <freakabcd> ./linux_install.sh   and if that doesn;t work because its not executable: sh linux_install.sh
[04:54] <spikeb> Tonren: unfortunately, yes.
[04:54] <polpak> OniAnubis: I prefer the latter, cause I don't have to change my network config when I go to a different network
[04:54] <dooglus> alth: "sudo mkdir /spare; sudo chown alth:alth /spare; ln -s /spare /home/spare" or some such
[04:54] <lightstar> OniAnubis, I presume you want to do sth similar to dyndns
[04:54] <Tonren> spikeb: Dammit... well, good thing I put /home on a separate partition
[04:54] <freakabcd> huh??
[04:55] <OniAnubis> I'm running ipcop as my firewall and its handing out ip addresses
[04:55] <Abnix> err, wtf...ubuntu doesn't have qmail as a package, but there's all kinds of support packages for qmail avail according to apt-cache search...
[04:55] <spikeb> Tonren: hehe
[04:55] <Tonren> spikeb: But it's going to be hell figuring out ndiswrapper all over again and stuff. I wish I had taken better notes!
[04:55] <freakabcd> Tonren, why don't you just run the 32-bit firefox?
[04:55] <spikeb> Tonren: i bet!
[04:55] <pdelgado> hello all
[04:55] <sam__> what package should i install if i want to compile some kernel modules? like the nvidia thing or vmware
[04:55] <spikeb> Tonren: always document the leaps you have to make, in the future
[04:55] <Tonren> freakabcd: How?
[04:55] <lightstar> OniAnubis, it would still require your machine to somehow pass the name to the server and you have to write a script to update the dns entry..just the top of my head
[04:55] <sam__> i need /usr/src/linux/include to exist for my current kernel version
[04:55] <freakabcd> Tonren, don't ask me. get the deb and install it. and hope you have the emul stuff for 32 bit
[04:55] <|rt|> garryfre: i'm giving that a try now
[04:55] <alth> dooglus: Thanks, but I think I solved my problem using a root -nautilus script and creating a folder writable by my normal user...just didn't think of doing that before is all ^^
[04:56] <|rt|> garryfre: rebooting now
[04:56] <Tonren> freakabcd: I don't know a thing about emulating a different architecture.
[04:56] <OniAnubis> all right I'll try looking for a script or something that does it
[04:56] <ron_o> Tonren, notes? not a chance! It really sucks doesn't it. :)
[04:56] <pdelgado> anyone please tell me how do i fix xchat in order to make it look the way it used to be a few years ago (tabs on top / channel list on right, lagometer, etc.. )  i just upgraded to 6.06....
[04:56] <freakabcd> Tonren, do a search for 'emu' in synaptic on name & description
[04:56] <Yonda> To type in ./linux-install.sh in need to CD to the correct directory right? But what do I cd to when its in a CD drive and isnt like /usr/home or something like that? Sorry for the newbish questions!
[04:56] <ryan> Noob question: Where can I find the graphics shown in the screen saver? Specifically, the tree.
[04:56] <pdelgado> (i just upgraded ubuntu to 6.06
[04:56] <Boelcke> .exit
[04:56] <Tonren> freakabcd: Thanks!
[04:56] <babo> I have ClientAliveInterval 12
[04:56] <babo> ClientAliveCountMax 300
[04:56] <babo>   in my /etc/ssh/sshd_config on my server, yet my ssh connection keeps timing out .. ?
[04:56] <sam__> ah
[04:56] <|rt|> garryfre: nope no dice
[04:56] <lightstar> pdelgado, errr...change it from preferences?
[04:56] <sam__> linux-headers-`uname -r`
[04:57] <freakabcd> you'll find some packages. if they are not installed install them and get the 32-bit forefox deb and install it. then everything is fine
[04:57] <lightstar> babo, when ppl try to connect to you or after they have logged into your machine?
[04:57] <pdelgado> lightstar: ... none of the options i need appear any more in the preferences....
[04:57] <garryfre> say |rt| You using dapper? Can you get X to work at all?
[04:57] <iamcitizen> freakabcd i edited the menu.lst, and now i see stuff on the screen, butit is just text, not the progress bar
[04:57] <polpak> pdelgado: are you sure you're using xchat and not xchat-gnome ?
[04:57] <ryan> where are the screensaver images stored?
[04:57] <polpak> pdelgado: they're very different
[04:58] <lightstar> pdelgado, i believe tab position can be set top or bottom
[04:58] <freakabcd> iamcitizen, could you paste your menu.lst to the pastesiter?
[04:58] <ron_o> yah, xchat is better. :p
[04:58] <pdelgado> polpak: ... ok.. this is xchat-gnome ...
[04:58] <freakabcd> xchat-gnome is teh crap
[04:58] <iamcitizen> uh, what's the pastesiter?
[04:58] <pdelgado> i guess what i need is old fashioned xchat...
[04:58] <babo> lightstar: after I have logged into the machine from my desktop ...
[04:58] <freakabcd> !paste
[04:58] <ubotu> Please do not flood the channel! Use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org for pasting long texts as it does not distrupt the channel. You might also want to install the "webboard" package from Universe.
[04:58] <garryfre> |rt| You using dapper? Can you get X to work at all?
[04:58] <ron_o> why gnome needs its own irc client...
[04:58] <|rt|> garryfre: yeah i'm using dapper...i just switched back to the nv driver and that works
[04:58] <polpak> pdelgado: if you want xchat you can get it from the universe repo I think
[04:58] <bigbadgoat> is that a channel?
[04:58] <polpak> !info xchat
[04:58] <ubotu> xchat: (IRC client for X similar to AmIRC), section universe/net, is optional. Version: 2.6.1-0ubuntu2 (dapper), Packaged size: 254 kB, Installed size: 720 kB
[04:58] <pdelgado> wtf... ok..
[04:58] <HellDragon> im really going nuts
[04:59] <ron_o> pdelgado, sudo apt-get install xchat will do it.
[04:59] <garryfre> |rt| Ok, no retry the instructions at this url https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[04:59] <xne0x> yyo
[04:59] <|rt|> garryfre: ok
[04:59] <freakabcd> HellDragon, given that you've rebooted many times ;)
[04:59] <ryan> screensaver images? where in the filesystem are they stored by default?
[04:59] <lightstar> babo, hmm...haven;t experienced that kind of problem..sorry
[04:59] <xne0x> what can i use to make soem folder into iso in ubuntu?
[04:59] <freakabcd> ryan, what screensaver images?
[04:59] <|rt|> garryfre: i had nvidia working fine until i let the systme update today
[04:59] <ron_o> xne0x, gnomebaker should do.
[04:59] <lightstar> xne0x, mkisofs
[04:59] <iamcitizen> freakabcd http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16043
[05:00] <ryan> the desktop background, some cool-looking tree...the ones you see when the slideshow screensaver runs.
[05:00] <Yonda> Ok now when I try linux-installer.sh I get 'permission denied', same when i try with sudo..
[05:00] <panthar> Does anyone have any experience fixing an XMMS/Rhythmbox problem of locking up when trying to play MP3 streams?  They can both play local MP3's on my machine but lock up when attempting to play most streams.
[05:00] <freakabcd> ryan, is that a tree image or something thats changing?
[05:00] <|rt|> synaptic is showing a new version of the driver to match the kernel update
[05:00] <pdelgado> oki dokie
[05:00] <dooglus> ryan: which screensaver?  xscreensaver, or gnome-screensaver?
[05:00] <freakabcd> i.e. is it a GL screensaver?
[05:00] <ryan> they are static images.
[05:00] <|rt|> going to install that now and it will probably sort out my issues i'm sure
[05:00] <babo> lightstar: np
[05:00] <xne0x> with gnomebacker how i make iso
[05:00] <ryan> it's a slideshow.
[05:00] <xne0x> i added files
[05:00] <lightstar> babo, :)
[05:00] <|rt|> but I would like to figure out why that didn't update with the kernel
[05:01] <freakabcd> ryan, umm.. would be nice if i knew what the name of the screensaver was
[05:01] <babo> Does anyone know why my ssh connection keeps timing out ... ?
[05:01] <ron_o> xne0x, isn't there a make iso in preferences?
[05:01] <ron_o> sorry, I'm on ubuntu.
[05:01] <ron_o> Xubuntu*
[05:01] <babo> ClientAliveInterval 12
[05:01] <babo>  ClientAliveCountMax 300
[05:01] <xne0x> i dont see
[05:01] <garryfre> |rt| Hmmm, this might fix it .... http://users.on.net/~goetz/EasyUbuntu/
[05:01] <reazon> Hey guys, when i log off from Gnome to go back in GDM, my computer totaly freeze, i need to reboot... anyone have an idea ?
[05:02] <XyMoX_18> ubuntu espaol
[05:02] <XyMoX_18> donde esta
[05:02] <XyMoX_18> cual es el canal
[05:02] <Hobbsee> !es
[05:02] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[05:02] <ron_o> xne0x, maybe there isn't one. I'm sorry. There isn't one in xfburn.
[05:02] <lightstar> babo, try setting the KeepAlive option in sshd_config and restart ssh
[05:03] <xne0x> i think there is
[05:03] <ron_o> I used to use k3b for that, but to install it might add a lot to your system.
[05:03] <xne0x> cuz i rem i did an iso
[05:03] <xne0x> with it
[05:03] <xne0x> but i did it off a cd
[05:03] <garryfre> |rt| Yeah, good question, it should have upgraded with the kernel.
[05:03] <ron_o> there really should be one..
[05:03] <ron_o> checkout the 'mkisofs' command that was mentioned earlier.
[05:03] <|rt|> garryfre: could it be b/c i didn't have universe and multiverse repositories enabled for updates?
[05:04] <jajaja-> can someone help me with the sql errors i am getting when i run mythfilldatabase
[05:04] <iamcitizen> freakabcd, did you see the link?
[05:04] <maikol> any good  torrent clients? like utorrent?
[05:04] <Yonda> When I try to run linux-installer.sh off a CD, I get permission denied, when I try to change the permissions I get an error that its read only...How can I modify the permissions to let it launch?
[05:04] <reazon> Hey guys, when i log off from Gnome to go back in GDM, my computer totaly freeze, i need to reboot... anyone have an idea
[05:04] <|rt|> garryfre: i just made that change in synaptic...hopefully that will prevent the problem from occuring with the next kernel update
[05:04] <garryfre> |rt| Its all in the restricted repositories.
[05:04] <babo> lightstar: ok thanks ... you mean the TCPKeepAlive yes ... ? ... I've just done that ... :-)
[05:05] <garryfre> |rt| Good luck, Here's hoping.
[05:05] <|rt|> well thanks for your help
[05:05] <lightstar> babo, hope that solves your problem..other options are setting your client to set no timeout..but i personally haven't tried it out though:)
[05:05] <|rt|> going to change my driver back, load the module, and try to restart X
[05:05] <xne0x> how can i make iso
[05:05] <babo> lightstar: ok, cool thanks ... time will see I guess :-)
[05:06] <garryfre> I'm going to stay and see if it works.
[05:06] <lightstar> babo, yeap:)..
[05:06] <xne0x> or not
[05:06] <xne0x> i got it
[05:06] <freakabcd> iamcitizen, err.. wheres the splash and quiet options ?
[05:06] <lightstar> babo, if all else fails you COULD look at the firewall config on both machines...see if they have some kinda timeout for connections..but i fail 2 c how tat gets set though
[05:07] <|rt|> garryfre: seems to be working now
[05:07] <|rt|> :)
[05:07] <babo> lightstar: ok thanks, never thought of that ...
[05:07] <babo> :-)
[05:07] <Sjoerd-> I found myself being two times in the userslist when typing users via cli, what can be the reason?
[05:07] <garryfre> |rt| Yay!
[05:07] <iamcitizen> i edited splash and quiet out
[05:07] <ryan> I found the pictures, in case anyone was wondering. /usr/share/backgrounds
[05:07] <iamcitizen> should i put splash back in?
[05:07] <lightstar> babo, ahh..i tot u already checked that issue out:)..well try it..it could solve ur issue..wild guesses..hehe
[05:08] <freakabcd> sjoerd, RyanTMulligan ok. i have no clue what they are doing there.
[05:08] <Yonda> When I try to run linux-installer.sh off a CD, I get permission denied, when I try to change the permissions I get an error that its read only...How can I modify the permissions to let it launch?
[05:08] <dooglus> is there any way I can check in my .bashrc whether the bash is running inside a chroot or not?
[05:08] <freakabcd> theres a few in /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds
[05:08] <dooglus> Yonda: if it's a shell script, just run "sh ./linux-installer.sh"
[05:08] <iiiears> Sjoerd - Same here. - can only guess that one user needs to run processes as root. devices and another for processes?
[05:08] <reazon>  when i log off from Gnome to go back in GDM, my computer totaly freeze, i need to reboot... anyone have an idea ?
[05:08] <|rt|> garryfre: so far i'm really digging ubuntu...i just need to get used to apt
[05:09] <lightstar> Yonda, u can't change perm of a cd..you can try copying it out or try "sh ./<scriptname>"
[05:09] <|rt|> garryfre: may be switching my 2 other gentoo boxes in the house over to it soon (one file server, and one mythtv box)
[05:09] <dope> i just updated from breezy to dapper now im X wont start up
[05:09] <dope> anyone can help?
[05:09] <Sjoerd-> iiiears: I don't know, it scared me a little. I used netstat but see no other connections then me.
[05:09] <|rt|> dope: i just ran into that myself
[05:09] <dope> |rt|: any luck fixing the problem
[05:09] <garryfre> |rt|:  Yeah, I mostly use the gui thing myself.
[05:10] <Yonda> Thanks dooglus! That worked...Now off to play Unreal Tournament - Thanks a bunch!
[05:10] <|rt|> dope: easiest way to fix this is sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change your display driver back to nv
[05:10] <Yonda> and thanks lightstar
[05:10] <ekp> hi
[05:10] <dooglus> Yonda: welcome
[05:10] <|rt|> then startx

[05:11] <iiiears> |rt| - Anxious to try it with a 1.ghz nVidia 5200 - 750 mbs RAM
[05:11] <NoUse> knoppmyth makes it really easy
[05:11] <freakabcd> dope, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[05:11] <alth> I have some albums with folder sized album art, can I use this to make it the folder's icon? If so, how?
[05:11] <|rt|> iiiears: i have it on a amd 3700+ with 512mb
[05:12] <garryfre> I have seen some folks having issues with MythTv here last night. I'd back that gentoo puppy up just in case they mythtv don't work right.
[05:12] <|rt|> dope: hmm...not familiar with the video card...is the driver normally in the kernel package or do you have to install it seperately?
[05:12] <Sjoerd-> what ftp server would you guys advise for a webserver?
[05:12] <Abnix> Sjoerd-: pure-ftpd
[05:12] <freakabcd> |rt|, its oss driver
[05:13] <|rt|> garryfre: i have a spare 250gb hd...would probably try to get them running side by side first
[05:13] <Sjoerd-> thanks Abnix, any other comments?
[05:13] <Sjoerd-> or is that just -the way- to go :)
[05:13] <|rt|> freakabcd: ah
[05:13] <dope> |rt|: i believe the i810 driver is supposed to work
[05:13] <garryfre> |rt| yeah, good call.
[05:13] <|rt|> dope: what's the error that you're getting in X
[05:13] <dope> which is wuts being use now
[05:13] <iiiears> |rt| - Ah well, I think i saw a 2.8ghz  machine on outpost.com for $299 - got to have fast forwarding through repeated commercials.
[05:13] <freakabcd> dope, yes it is. and it _does_
[05:13] <dope> |rt|: no screens found
[05:13] <freakabcd> dope, did you try the reconfigure line i gave you?
[05:13] <|rt|> iiiears: well it has pretty good auto detection of commericials
[05:13] <Abnix> Sjoerd-: well I used to use proftpd, and it's pretty solid, but pure-ftpd seems to IMO perform better and is a bit more secure
[05:14] <dope> freak: going to now
[05:14] <|rt|> iiiears: auto skips them if you set the option to do so
[05:14] <Jinkguns> Gentlemen, first one to fix my wireless laptop, or help me to, gets to know that you helped a American trapped in Japan on a business trip with no wireless network.
[05:14] <Sjoerd-> Abnix: Thanks again, I will give it a try.
[05:14] <polpak> Abnix: there's also vsftpd
[05:14] <Sivik> how do i get sound in q2
[05:14] <ekp> garryfre: lost preferences or ability to save pref. in workspace switcher since using Gdesklets
[05:14] <polpak> !tell Jinkguns about wireless
[05:15] <ekp> Dapper Drake release
[05:15] <Jinkguns> [4295966.054000]  SoftMAC: Received deauthentication packet from 00:13:02:1f:d0:a4, but that network is unknown.
[05:15] <Jinkguns> [4295967.685000]  SoftMAC: Authentication response received from 00:16:6f:4e:65:d8 but no queue item exists.
[05:15] <|rt|> iiiears: as an X Tivo user i have to say it's a handy feature
[05:15] <dope> freak: that didnt work
[05:15] <|rt|> iiiears: don't even have to touch the remote
[05:15] <Jinkguns> It was working yesterday, does that tell you anything?
[05:15] <|rt|> iiiears: anyhow this is getting offtopic from this channel
[05:15] <freakabcd> dope, so log says ... no screens found?
[05:15] <Sivik> i'm trying to get quake 2 to have sound
[05:15] <iiiears> |rt| - TIVO has been gutted of great features. MythTV is much better.
[05:15] <Davo_Dinkum> will "apt-get install mythtv" install mythtv on ubuntu?
[05:15] <dope> freak, yes
[05:16] <bur[n] er> Davo_Dinkum: if you have universe... try "apt-cache search myth tv"
[05:16] <ekp> !Gdesklets
[05:16] <ubotu> I guess gdesklets is gDesklets provides an advanced architecture for desktop applets -- tiny displays sitting on your desktop in a symbiotic relationship of eye candy and usefulness Homepage is http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org/
[05:16] <freakabcd> dope, could you paste the log (and possibly xorg.conf) to pastesite?
[05:16] <Sivik> anyone here play quake 2
[05:16] <Jinkguns> Aha.
[05:16] <Jinkguns> They fixed it.
[05:16] <dope> freak, i've no idea how im going to do that from terminal mode
[05:17] <bur[n] er> dope: ssh from another machine?  use links?
[05:17] <dope> bur[n] er: ive only got 1 box
 did you see my problem with workspace switcher
[05:17] <freakabcd> ekp, sorry i didn;t see that
[05:17] <NoUse> dope get this file http://finneran.us/pastebin

[05:18] <NoUse> dope and run 'cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | ~/pastebin'
[05:18] <ekp> can only have one workspace
[05:18] <dope> ok
[05:18] <crimsun> pschulz01: what about g++-3.4? (It's still in main as of Dapper)
[05:19] <Yonda> Aaah! Back again....Unreal Tournament has 7 CDs for the Installation, and when the installer asks to insert disk 2, i cant eject disk one because the drive is busy :S
[05:19] <NoUse> dope you might have to chmod +x pastebin for that to work
[05:19] <iiiears> Yonda - Is it possible to copy all the files to a single directory on your HD?
[05:19] <dope> i did NoUse
[05:20] <dope> it gave me a website output
[05:20] <Yonda> yes, thats possible I guess, is that the normal procedure?
[05:20] <davidX> is there a terminal services(windows) client for gnome or kde?
[05:20] <dope> http://en.pastebin.ca/67504
[05:20] <untung> How to setup screen  resolution to 1280*768
[05:20] <Yonda> and can i delete the files after?
[05:20] <iiiears> Yonda - as i remember the DVD had individual folders named CD1, CD2, CD3 - etc
[05:20] <Jinkguns> I have about 200 2.3MB photos for this trip in Japan I
[05:20] <Jinkguns> 'm currently on, any idea on how to quickly convert them to a smaller size?
[05:21] <Jinkguns> A program?
[05:21] <dope> freak: http://en.pastebin.ca/67504
[05:21] <Yonda> ok so i put each cd in a seperate folder somewhere on my hard drive then run the installer?
[05:21] <XTORTION> Hi everyone
[05:21] <NoUse> dope can you do the same think for /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[05:21] <dope> NoUse: ok
[05:21] <XTORTION> Does any one know how to install raid with the live cd install?
[05:21] <lightstar> Yonda, you can type 'eject' on the command prompt to eject the cd inside and add a new 1 and try to continue
[05:22] <dope> NoUse: http://en.pastebin.ca/67508
[05:22] <mnvl> can someone suggest a way to delete all the files in one directory, which also appear in another directory?
[05:22] <iamcitizen> freakabcd, how should my menu.lst look?
[05:22] <NoUse> mnvl install fdupes
[05:22] <Yonda> lightstar, when i type eject i get a 'device is busy' error in the terminal
[05:22] <NoUse> mnvl it searchs for dupes and can be configed to prompt you to delete one of them
[05:22] <XTORTION> Does any one know how to install raid with the live cd install?
[05:23] <NoUse> XTORTION I don't believe thats possible
[05:23] <XTORTION> is there any other way
[05:23] <NoUse> XTORTION the alternate CD
[05:23] <XTORTION> i tryed to use old dapper cd but once i upgraded nothing worked
[05:23] <panthar> Does anyone have any experience fixing an XMMS/Rhythmbox problem of locking up when trying to play MP3 streams?  They can both play local MP3's on my machine but lock up when attempting to play most streams.
[05:23] <XTORTION> where can i get that iso?
[05:23] <JohnnyFive> So the nvidia driver doesnt work for the 7800GTX "Go" series anymore?  I've tried 3 distros to no avail seems it broke recently in the past 2 weeks or so
[05:24] <NoUse> XTORTION the normal download page
[05:24] <XTORTION> k ill look around
[05:24] <lightstar> Yonda, eh? funny.. "eject /dev/cdrom" assuming tats the device node doesnt work either?
[05:24] <brian|lfs> sup peeps
[05:24] <Sivik> how do i get sound in quake 2
[05:24] <XTORTION> thank you so much
[05:25] <iiiears> panther - two solutions i read about one involves mounting a remote directly locally using samba. the other is to compile xmms with a patch for long file path support.
[05:25] <Toma-> Sivik: is it saying /dev/dsp broken pipe?
[05:25] <buggzero> whats the best way to edit GTK+ themes
[05:25] <panthar> Samba?
[05:25] <Yonda> lightstar, nup that doesnt work
[05:25] <beasty> lol
[05:26] <beasty> need german! fast! pm me :p
[05:26] <LinuxNIT> NoUse, there is a normal install cd for the new release? i thought it only had install from the livecd
[05:26] <iiiears> panther - mounting a samba directory locally should be easier. mouint -t smb -o rw password="",username=""
[05:26] <panthar> The issue is with MP3 streams - not local files.
[05:26] <NoUse> LinuxNIT they have both
[05:26] <panthar> (local/mounted/etc)
[05:26] <NoUse> LinuxNIT they are both on the download page
[05:26] <MattSta> how can i install a printer from a cd on ubuntu
[05:26] <dope> NoUse: did you get the output?
[05:26] <Sivik> Toma-: no
[05:27] <Toma-> Sivik: well is there an error message at all when you run it from terminal?
[05:27] <argpirate> I just installed a bunch of games via add/remove software but it didnt add any menu entries for it...is there a special command to run or que?
[05:27] <LinuxNIT> NoUse, cool thanks last time i asked they said there was just the livecd
[05:27] <Toma-> pfft
[05:27] <NoUse> dope yeah, I think your refresh rates might not be right
[05:27] <lightstar> Yonda, try "sudo eject /dev/cdrom"
[05:27] <Abnix> argpirate: logout, log back in..
[05:27] <NoUse> dope are you usually any kind of special monitor?
[05:28] <dbcalo> is there a way to get all the packages needed to compile the kernel, quickly, short of downloading the dvd? the cd doesn't seem to have them on there.
[05:28] <dope> NoUse: when i was on winblows i believe the refresh rate was @ 60hz
[05:28] <nickrud> argpirate, you do killall gnome-panel, that usually works
[05:28] <argpirate> hrm ok,
[05:28] <dope> NoUse: no, its a normal monitor
[05:28] <argpirate> im actually using kde
[05:28] <Yonda> lightstar, same error when i try with sudo
[05:28] <argpirate> and i tried killing kicker
[05:28] <NoUse> dope, I should have said sync rates, they woudl be listed in your monitors doc
[05:28] <iiiears> Yonda - eject -f       may do it.
[05:28] <nickrud> aoh, kde.
[05:28] <dope> NoUse: i dont have the monitors docs
[05:28] <dope> maybe on the back
[05:28] <iiiears> Hi nickrud
[05:28] <argpirate> thanks for that ill try a reboot
[05:28] <iamcitizen> freakabcd, here is my current menu.lst http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16046
[05:28] <argpirate> or a logout atleast
[05:29] <nickrud> hi iiiears . Busy tonight?
[05:29] <NoUse> dope run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and follow that through, let it try to detect any settings it can
[05:29] <dbcalo> my wireless doesn't work under linux which is why i need another way to get all the packages. in hopes that the newest kernel will solve my problems.
[05:29] <lightstar> Yonda, ???..ahh wait..i can guess y...the install.sh, tats the cause..silly me
[05:29] <Sivik> i need some sound help in quake 2
[05:29] <bur[n] er> dbcalo: what wireless card?
[05:29] <iiiears> Yes, A lot of questions. Glad you are here.
[05:29] <iiiears> Sivik - select OSS.
[05:29] <nickrud> you'll also be glad I'm gone when it comes ;)
[05:30] <dope> NoUse: with the ' around the command?
[05:30] <dbcalo> wusb54gsv2, the newest kernel is supposed to have added support for broadcom 43xx chips. which it has.
[05:30] <NoUse> dope no
[05:30] <dope> ok
[05:30] <Sivik> iiiears: ?
[05:30] <Sivik> iiiears: select OSS where?
[05:30] <JohnnyFive>  does anyone know how to get a 7800gtx  "go"to work in linux mine jsut one day stopped working after a new nvidia driver came out?
[05:30] <freakabcd> sorry, was out for a bit
[05:30] <Yonda> lightstar, so how could I fix the problem (eject -f) didnt work..
[05:30] <thomasM> hey guys, is there anyway to make root programs not look ugly running XGL? I had linked ~.themes and ~.icons to /root, which worked fine before XGL.
[05:30] <iiiears> Open source sound driver.  arts/esd don't work as well
[05:30] <JohnnyFive> any help would be appreciated :)
[05:30] <argpirate> Ubuntu will not have the newest kernel for a long time will it/
[05:30] <Sivik> ok
[05:30] <freakabcd> iamcitizen, looks good. still no progress bar?
[05:31] <nickrud> JohnnyFive, you mean the driver in the new kernel for dapper?
[05:31] <Desh> Hi, anyone know how I can check my PC's FSB (Front Bus Speed)
[05:31] <Smeggy> hi can someone take a look at a weird problem of mine?
[05:31] <lightstar> Yonda, at the moment you're pretty much stuck...u gotta kill the process, copy the .sh file somewhere else, edit it to point to the game files and try again
[05:31] <JohnnyFive> nickrud, well it used to work, not sure what happened but ive tried 3 distros and none work anymore with the card
[05:31] <thomasM> argpirate, look up a guide to make your own kernel man :D
[05:31] <lightstar> Yonda, :)
[05:31] <Smeggy> http://www.tbmn.net/wtfgnome.jpg <- the keyboard shortcut labels in my menus have turned like this
[05:31] <dbcalo> i found package.ubuntu.com but that is slow and tedious in terms of getting what i need.
[05:32] <Sivik> iiiears, how do i get it from apt-get?
[05:32] <argpirate> oh, no im not going to build a kernel, i was just wondering as someone said the new kernel supports more wifi
[05:32] <Yonda> lightstar, ahhh...I see, I'll try that
[05:32] <Sivik> !oss
[05:32] <ubotu> Wish I knew. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Sivik
[05:32] <lightstar> Yonda, hope it works 4 u:)
[05:32] <JohnnyFive> !wiki oss
[05:33] <Sivik> JohnnyFive, do you know what i'm looking
[05:33] <JohnnyFive> ya
[05:33] <Yonda> lightstar, thanks for the help ill give it a shot :| who'd think it'd be so complicated to install a game eh
[05:33] <freakabcd> iamcitizen, update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so
[05:33] <freakabcd> iamcitizen, try doing that too
[05:33] <Sivik> JohnnyFive, trying to found the driver to install
[05:33] <JohnnyFive> nickrud, any ideas?
[05:33] <dope> NoUse: i get the same error  its also saying '(ee) I810: No Video Bios modes for chosen depths
[05:33] <freakabcd> then give it a restart to check if everything works as expected
[05:33] <NoUse> dope what kind of computer is this?
[05:33] <lightstar> Yonda, np...i haven;t tried installing a game (ever since quake3)..hehe
[05:34] <dope> NoUse: IBM NetVista
[05:34] <freakabcd> dope, what resolution?
[05:34] <cappicrd8> not sure
[05:34] <lightstar> Yonda, or maybe there are other ways to do it..i just haven;t figured out how 2 do it
[05:34] <nickrud> JohnnyFive, looking for bug reports. I need a new card, I wanna know ;)
[05:34] <freakabcd> dope did you paste your xorg.conf to the pastesite?
[05:34] <acke> hey
[05:34] <JohnnyFive> nickrud, it only happens on the "go" series
[05:34] <dope> yes freak
[05:34] <whyami> what is the equivalent for "gnome-open" when in the konsole for kde in kubuntu?
[05:34] <JohnnyFive> nickrud, i noticed other people have the same prob
[05:34] <freakabcd> dope, mind giving me the link?
[05:34] <dope> http://en.pastebin.ca/67504
[05:34] <nickrud> JohnnyFive, then it's probably reported somewhere
[05:34] <dope> NoUse: http://en.pastebin.ca/67508
[05:35] <dbcalo> is there a reason the necessary packages to compile aren't provided on the cd?
[05:35] <Smeggy> Anyone have a suggestion? http://www.tbmn.net/wtfgnome.jpg <- weird problem with the keyboard shortcuts in menus?
[05:35] <acke> anyonenows how to quit irrc if you are in the terminal?? im freaking trapped.....
[05:35] <dope> im trying to get 1024x768 all i can ever get is 640x480
[05:35] <ElBarono> why did my screensaver stop locking when I close my laptop lid?
[05:35] <davidX> wc
[05:35] <freakabcd> Smeggy, looks like a gnome thing and #gnome is more likely(in theory) to answer correctly
[05:35] <JohnnyFive> nickrud, ya it is, no fixes, and on nvidias site it shows a seperate driver (windows only) for that card, but if you look under the supported cards of the normal driver, its listed as working, it makes no sense
[05:35] <dooglus> Yonda: do you know the old 'stick something pointy in the eject hole' trick for ejecting CDs?
[05:36] <JohnnyFive> nickrud, ive tried pre packaged drivers and doing it from source
[05:36] <jighead> dbcalo, size mainly, to get everythingon one CD is tough, so that's why there's a build-essential virtual package to make it easy to grab everything
[05:36] <thomasM> dope
[05:36] <thomasM> !res
[05:36] <ubotu> rumour has it, res is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[05:36] <dope> ??
[05:36] <thomasM> go there.
[05:36] <acke> end
[05:36] <nickrud> JohnnyFive, docs are not the territory :) but you probably can find some dialog about it on the xorg mail lists.
[05:36] <acke> exit
[05:36] <acke> ...
[05:36] <dbcalo> jighead, where is this located?
[05:36] <acke> stuck
[05:37] <[koji] > i deleted an exchange account in evolution but entries for contacts, calendar, and tasks still lingers.  how do i delete it?
[05:37] <dope> whats the text browser for ubuntu?
[05:37] <panthar> Does anyone have any experience fixing an XMMS/Rhythmbox problem of locking up when trying to play MP3 streams?  They can both play local MP3's on my machine but lock up when attempting to play most streams.
[05:37] <acke> lynx
[05:37] <freakabcd> links, lynx
[05:37] <jighead> dbcalo, sudo aptitude search build-essential it's in the main repositories
[05:37] <tonyyarusso> What command would tell me my processor name/specs?
[05:37] <eclypse> hey all, I'm getting yet another error with compiling a package from source, ./configure gives me the following error...
[05:37] <acke> just installed it lynx
[05:37] <freakabcd> dope, wheres the xorg.conf paste?
[05:37] <jighead> tonyyarusso, cat /proc/cpuinfo

[05:37] <eclypse> configure: error: header file <openssl/ssl.h> is required for OpenSSL
[05:37] <kditty> does anyone know the apt gat command to install the kde desktop alongside the gnome desktop?
[05:37] <acke> now im stuck in the irc terminal andcant get out
[05:37] <freakabcd> eclypse, install openssl-dev
[05:38] <dope> freak: http://en.pastebin.ca/67514
[05:38] <dbcalo> jighead, i cant do that since my wireless doesn't fucntion under linux yet. the new kernel should solve this, which is why i need build-essentials.
[05:38] <dooglus> kditty: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[05:38] <eclypse>  k
[05:38] <RadiantFire> lol
[05:38] <tonyyarusso> jighead: Ah, that's the one.  Was looking in /proc/acpi/processor
[05:38] <kditty> thanks dooglus
[05:38] <NoUse> kditty use aptitude install
[05:38] <JohnnyFive> nickrud, nope nothing about it
[05:38] <NoUse> kditty sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[05:38] <JohnnyFive> :(
[05:38] <kazuki> Does Ubuntu support JFS File system ?????
[05:38] <NoUse> kditty it will allow you to easily uninstall if you chose to
[05:38] <acke> kditty sudo apt-get install kdebase
[05:38] <dooglus> NoUse: I think he meant to ask for the apt-get command
[05:38] <acke> qq
[05:38] <NoUse> dooglus aptitude > apt-get
[05:39] <dooglus> NoUse: no, aptitude <> apt-get
[05:39] <Yonda> dooglus ah yes, that old method ill give it a shot..
[05:39] <kditty> last time i installed it with apt-get
[05:39] <NoUse> dooglus wrong, aptitude does reverse deps
[05:39] <shad0w1e> does anyone know why from a 266gb ext3 partition, I only get 253gb, and what to do about it?
[05:39] <dooglus> NoUse: what does that mean?
[05:39] <NoUse> kditty you can use either, aptitude will just allow you to uninstall much easiler if you chose do
[05:40] <NoUse> dooglus when you apt-get install kubuntu, how do you remove it? apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop won't work
[05:40] <dbcalo> shad0w1e, ext4 reserves some space.
[05:40] <shad0w1e> dbcalo, can it mount as ext2?
[05:40] <NoUse> dooglus if you use aptitude, remove kubuntu-desktop will remove all packages that it pulled in that are no longer used
[05:40] <dooglus> NoUse: apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop has never failed for me
[05:40] <NoUse> dooglus it doesn't remove all the packages that kubuntu-desktop pulle din
[05:40] <oddzball> Hey I have a question...
[05:40] <NoUse> dooglus so you still have 200MB of stuff
[05:40] <dooglus> NoUse: no, it's not supposed to
[05:40] <dope> reak: did u get the xorg.conf paste
[05:40] <NoUse> dooglus aptitude will
[05:40] <NoUse> dooglus intelligently
[05:41] <dooglus> NoUse: even if I don't want it to?
[05:41] <arm73c05> would anyone be so kind as to lend me their xorg.conf for a 1680x1050 display?
[05:41] <eclypse> hey all, when I run fglrxinfo I get the following error...  Error: unable to open display :0
[05:41] <eclypse> any ideas?
[05:41] <Mixx`> i've upgraded with this week's patches and both have had problems, the latest won't start X.  is there something I need to do to fix X?
[05:41] <NoUse> dooglus it will only remove packages that are not being used
[05:41] <dbcalo> shad0w1e, don't think you can do that. you would probably have to redo it.
[05:41] <enigmus> is anyone experiencing problem with libglib2.0-0 ?
[05:41] <dooglus> NoUse: what if I was only removing kubuntu-desktop so I could later remove kate, for instance?
[05:41] <shad0w1e> dbcalo, because ext3 is backwards compatible...
[05:41] <RadiantFire> dope: what videocard?
[05:41] <dbcalo> shad0w1e, may be able to convert to ext2. don't know. but ext2 will use reserve some space too.
[05:41] <MattSta> How do install a printer from a CD on UBUNTU
[05:41] <dope> RadiantFire: intel 845g
[05:41] <NoUse> dooglus you can just remove kate and kubuntu-desktop will get removed automatically
[05:41] <Yonda> In a totally unrelated matter, can you install ubuntu without going through the live cd....when I try installing it on a ye olde computer, it freezes up when it gets to the graphical interface...
[05:41] <RadiantFire> dope: try install 915resolution
[05:41] <NoUse> dooglus no need for two steps
[05:41] <dbcalo> shad0w1e, ext3 is a journaling system, so it needs some space to store all the info it takes care of.
[05:42] <RadiantFire> it is a bios fix for some intel cards
[05:42] <enigmus> the latest update of libglib2.0-0 in 6.06 has only 3 files in it, and lacks various .so...
[05:42] <dope> RadiantFire: ok
[05:42] <shad0w1e> dbcalo, given, but...
[05:42] <lightstar> Yonda, you can get alternate..it offers text mode install
[05:42] <dbcalo> shad0w1e, ntfs does something similar too.
[05:42] <shad0w1e> 13gb for 300gb!? yikes!
[05:42] <dooglus> NoUse: and then, later when I decide I don't want any of that KDE crap, what do I do to remove it all?
[05:42] <eclypse> any ideas?
[05:42] <shad0w1e> yeah thats why fat32 teh roxorz!
[05:42] <dope> RadiantFire: i get an error
[05:42] <Desh> How can i check my PC's FSB?
[05:42] <eclypse> hey all, when I run fglrxinfo I get the following error...  Error: unable to open display :0
[05:42] <RadiantFire> dope: what did it say?
[05:42] <Yonda> lightstar, is that a different file to download?
[05:42] <Hawke_> Hey all.
[05:43] <NoUse> dooglus if you installed using aptitude 'sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop' will remove all deps that kubuntu-desktop pulled in
[05:43] <lightstar> Yonda, yup..another iso
[05:43] <dope> RadiantFire: install: missing file operand
[05:43] <dooglus> NoUse: kubuntu-desktop isn't installed.  it was automatically removed when I removed kate.
[05:43] <shad0w1e> dbcalo, I just tried on reiserfs and I have all my space!!
[05:43] <RadiantFire> dope: really?
[05:43] <NoUse> dooglus sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop && sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop
[05:43] <dope> RadiantFire: yes
[05:43] <lightstar> shad0w1e, there will always be space allocated for system information..
[05:43] <Hawke_> I'm having trouble pulling an IP from my router. Is there anything I should be doing after install?
[05:43] <Yonda> lightstar, this the one? ubuntu-6.06-alternate-i386.iso
[05:43] <RadiantFire> dope: sudo apt-get install 915resolution gave you that?
[05:43] <NoUse> dooglus their might be an easier way but that will work
[05:43] <shad0w1e> well it seems like less
[05:44] <lightstar> Yonda, yeap..tats the 1
[05:44] <dooglus> NoUse: yuck.  sounds like a nasty solution to me.  I have to re-install all the stuff I didn't like in KDE just so I can remove the rest?
[05:44] <dope> RadiantFire: No install 915resolution did.. but apt-get install 915resolution package doesnt exist
[05:44] <Yonda> lightstar, thanks ill give that a shot
[05:44] <lightstar> Yonda, np
[05:44] <dooglus> NoUse: I think I'll stick with apt-get and debfoster.  Much more flexible.
[05:44] <NoUse> and whats the solution on apt-get?
[05:44] <dope> RadiantFire: i tried apt-get install 915resolution and it couldnt find package
[05:44] <freakabcd> dope, its in universe
[05:44] <iamcitizen> freakabcd, i get this error There is only 1 program which provides usplash-artwork.so
[05:44] <iamcitizen> (/usr/lib/usplash/usplash-default.so). Nothing to configure.
[05:44] <NoUse> ugh debfoster, shoot me now
[05:44] <nickrud> dooglus, remove libqt3-mt, that's simplest
[05:45] <lightstar> dooglus, err..you could just install the specific app and all appropriate libs will be installed..you dun need to install kubuntu-desktop just to get a few apps
[05:45] <dope> freakabcd: im not sure what you mean
[05:45] <dooglus> lightstar: I think you've misunderstood.
[05:45] <nickrud> dooglus, and you can mark packages you want persistent very easily with aptitude, like deb-foster
[05:45] <karthikeyan> Hi guys
[05:45] <eclypse> hey all, when I run fglrxinfo I get the following error...  Error: unable to open display :0
[05:45] <Oddzball> Is anyone here willing to help me, I need a detialed explination of how to install the ATI Linux Driers
[05:45] <karthikeyan> is there any way i can write to NTFS
[05:45] <Hawke_> I'm having trouble pulling an IP from my router. Is there anything I should be doing after install?
[05:45] <RadiantFire> dope: oh, it might be in universe
[05:45] <freakabcd> dope, the universe repository might be disabled at present in your /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:45] <lightstar> dooglus, maybe..didn't see your earlier posts:)
[05:46] <freakabcd> RadiantFire, it _is_ :)
[05:46] <Sjoerd-> Abnix? Can I ask you a few questions?
[05:46] <NoUse> lightstar I was telling him aptitude is nice for reverse deps, he didn't seem to believe me ;-)
[05:46] <dope> freakabcd: ok ill see if i can edit it
[05:46] <dbcalo> karthikeyan, theres an ntfs driver you can use. not 100% though...
[05:46] <lightstar> NoUse, Ohhhhh...hahaha
[05:46] <karthikeyan> Oh .. How do i Install .. Dbcalo
[05:47] <dooglus> NoUse: from what I've seen of aptitude, the only benefit over apt-get + debfoster is the minesweeper game
[05:47] <dope> freakabcd: ah, i have to uncomment it
[05:47] <dbcalo> karthikeyan, best bet for me was to use ext2, or ext3 which windows can easily read with a driver.
[05:47] <freakabcd> yes
[05:47] <RadiantFire> yep, then run apt-get update
[05:47] <dope> so now i run apt-get update?
[05:47] <lightstar> NoUse, its WAYY easier..just like synaptic..at least 4 me..hehehe
[05:47] <RadiantFire> dope: correct
[05:47] <dope> ok
[05:48] <NoUse> dooglus don't use the GUI, just use the command line
[05:48] <dope> its updating
[05:48] <NoUse> dooglus use whatever you want, I don't get a comsission
[05:48] <dope> done
[05:48] <NoUse> dooglus just trying to save you some time
[05:48] <dope> now apt-get install 915resolution
[05:48] <karthikeyan> dbcalo , I wanna write to NTFS from Linux and I have ext3 part
[05:48] <dope> ?
[05:48] <freakabcd> dope suod apt-get install 915resolution
[05:48] <Hawke_> I'm having trouble pulling an IP from my router. Is there anything I should be doing after install? I can't connect to the internet.
[05:48] <j1p> has anyone successfully installed E17 on Dapper?
[05:48] <dope> freakabcd: ok
[05:49] <freakabcd> j1p, i've been using e17 since ages
[05:49] <NoUse> karthikeyan you can't write to ntfs safely
[05:49] <dope> freakabcd: couldnt find package
[05:49] <j1p> freakabcd, how do you install it on dapper?
[05:49] <dbcalo> karthikeyan, try this, but don't say i didn't warn you if your data goes corrupt. http://www.linux-ntfs.org/
[05:49] <freakabcd> on dapper flights and now on dapper final. but ofcourse everything compiled from cvs and updated often
[05:49] <Dial_tone> Hawke_: make sure your network card is even coming up
[05:49] <karthikeyan> Oh !
[05:49] <j1p> i tried using the easy_e17 script on the forums, but it wont work for me
[05:49] <j1p> some problem with evas or ecore or something
[05:49] <karthikeyan> Why is traceroute command not working in ubuntu
[05:50] <j1p> should I just go straight to CVS and do it by hand?
[05:50] <Hawke_> Dial_tone: It says eth0 is activated
[05:50] <freakabcd> dope, do you have this line: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted universe multiverse
[05:50] <freakabcd> in your sources.list?
[05:50] <dope> freakabcd: yes
[05:50] <dope> freakabcd: should i uncomment all of the lines?
[05:51] <RadiantFire> dope: probably
[05:51] <dope> RadiantFire: ok
[05:51] <karthikeyan> Can any one say how to export path using .bash_profile .. I tried and no use .. I am not able to export path
[05:51] <dope> freakabcd:  i actualy dont have that line
[05:51] <karthikeyan> I want to export JRE_HOME
[05:52] <freakabcd> dope, paste your sources.list
[05:52] <dope> ok
[05:52] <freakabcd> thats the easiest way to not mess up things.
[05:52] <nothingman> hi, all
[05:53] <[Ex0r] > hmm
[05:53] <Oddzball> how do i change my resolution in Ubuntu?
[05:53] <IcemanV9> karthikeyan: it is not installed by default (traceroute)
[05:53] <dope> freakabcd: http://en.pastebin.ca/67519
[05:54] <IcemanV9> !tell Oddzball about resolution
[05:54] <tonyyarusso> Is there an Ubuntu Wiki search engine that I can add to my Firefox search bar?
[05:55] <Hawke_> Where can I find network card drivers for Ubuntu? Compaq doesn't have a Linux version for my Presario
[05:55] <dooglus> karthikeyan: .bash_profile is only sourced by login shells.  you're probably not running a login shell
[05:55] <dooglus> karthikeyan: export variables in ~/.xprofile
[05:55] <fooman> i have a nautilus question
[05:56] <karthikeyan> Oh .. I am using bash .. Whats a login shell .. Dooglus
[05:56] <karthikeyan> oh ok
[05:56] <nickrud> dooglus, is that xprofile something new?
[05:56] <dooglus> nickrud: I don't know
[05:56] <nickrud> dooglus, new to me, sounds useful
[05:56] <andre_> anyone successfully gotten ruby on rails working with ubuntu?
[05:57] <dooglus> nickrud: I was looking for a way to set environment variables and eventually stumbled upon ~/.xprofile
[05:57] <nickrud> dooglus, it works for gnome as well?
[05:57] <karthikeyan> hi should we creat a thing called .xprofile
[05:57] <dooglus> nickrud: you can't use .bash_profile, 'cos it's not sourced; .bashrc is only sourced when you run a terminal; .gnomerc is only sourced if you use GNOME (I use XFCE)
[05:57] <dooglus> karthikeyan: yes, ~/.xprofile
[05:57] <dooglus> karthikeyan: ie. in your home directory
[05:57] <nickrud> dooglus, I know that part, that's why xprofile sounds so very useful
[05:58] <karthikeyan> so what should i type in ?
[05:58] <dooglus> nickrud: .profile will work too, but that can also be sourced by login shells in some circumstances
[05:58] <dope> freakabcd: did you get the paste?
[05:58] <freakabcd> dope, comment out 19,20,29,30,35,36,38 and add universe multiverse to the end of line 4
[05:58] <dooglus> karthikeyan: type "echo export JRE_HOME=/usr/sun/whatever > ~/.xprofile"
[05:58] <dope> freakabcd: ok
[05:59] <nickrud> I did the 'put the variable in each of the 4 files, and try stuff' method of learning that. The designer was mad.
[05:59] <shad0w1e> hmmm. reiserfs takes forever to mount...
[05:59] <poptones> hey... i have encountered a charset bug in firefox when using 8859-2 charset... anyone else have problems with crashing?
[05:59] <shad0w1e> whats a good filesystem for a 300gb storage partition?
[05:59] <gomek> what size are the files you'll be storing?
[05:59] <NoUse> shad0w1e ext3 probably
[06:00] <shad0w1e> mostly 5-50mb
[06:00] <gomek> ext3 or xfs, i'd say
[06:00] <shad0w1e> a coupla 700mb ones
[06:00] <shad0w1e> maybe some 4gb ones
[06:00] <dooglus> nickrud: read /etc/gdm/Xsession for details of how .profile and .xprofile are used
[06:00] <shad0w1e> but mostly... as I said
[06:00] <dope> freakabcd: done, now do i run apt-get?
[06:00] <karthikeyan> i typed it
[06:00] <nickrud> dooglus, thanks for the pointer
[06:00] <Yonda> Is it possible to get the Ubuntu Server alternative edition? Does the server thing run from a live cd or not?
[06:00] <shad0w1e> the problem with ext3 is it eats 13gb just from being set up!
[06:00] <maikol> how do i get sound in mplayer
[06:01] <karthikeyan> should i source .xprofile
[06:01] <freakabcd> dope, actually add universe multiverse to end of line 9 as well
[06:01] <dope> freakabcd: ok
[06:01] <freakabcd> then apt-get update; apt-get install 915 resolution
[06:01] <Sjoerd-> where does ubuntu install a program like pure-ftpd?
[06:01] <dope> freakabcd: ok done, now run apt-get install 915resolution
[06:01] <dope> ?
[06:02] <Yonda> lightstar,  Is it possible to get the Ubuntu Server alternative edition? Does the server thing run from a live cd or not?
[06:02] <freakabcd> dope, yeah
[06:02] <crimsun> there's no "alternate" download for the server.
[06:02] <coldasfire06> hey, this might sound stupid, but i'm really new to programming and i'm trying to learn but when I compile with gcc instead of creating the executable file with the actual source code name it creates a file a.out, how do i make it create the file with the name i want, for example, gcc program.c (then what command)???
[06:02] <Luke> does anyone know how to put pictures on an ipod nano without linux?
[06:02] <dooglus> karthikeyan: you should log in again really
[06:02] <lightstar> Yonda, server doesn;t include the X stuff and what not..so u will end up downloading it again
[06:02] <dope> freakabcd: same thing, ergh
[06:03] <dooglus> karthikeyan: not reboot, just log out and back in to GNOME
[06:03] <crimsun> coldasfire06: -c
[06:03] <lightstar> coldasfire06, gcc file.c -o file
[06:03] <crimsun> coldasfire06: man gcc
[06:03] <coldasfire06> thabks
[06:03] <Yonda> lightstar, ok thanks
[06:03] <lightstar> Yonda, np
[06:03] <Yonda> lightstar, its for a file server for a small network you see, im not sure whether to go server or just normal ....
[06:03] <Sjoerd-> where does ubuntu put the installation files from .deb packages?
[06:04] <linuxk> good question
[06:04] <lightstar> Yonda, oh in that case you don't need gui...the server edition will do
[06:04] <karthikeyan> in /opt
[06:04] <lightstar> Yonda, unless you want to use it as a workstation as well
[06:04] <Sjoerd-> that map looks empty at my server
[06:04] <linuxk> what about the programs that just have a folder lightstar???
[06:05] <Yonda> lightstar, ok thanks again!
[06:05] <linuxk> where do i put those
[06:05] <nickrud> Sjoerd-, the installation scripts go into /var/lib/dpkg/info , and the actual files goo all over the place under /usr , mostly
[06:05] <lightstar> Yonda, np:)
[06:05] <lightstar> linuxboy, i beg your pardon?..
[06:05] <lightstar> linuxk, i beg your pardon
[06:05] <Oddzball> Hello!
[06:05] <karthikeyan> nickrud isnt the files installed in /opt
[06:05] <Sjoerd-> nickrud: I'm looking for the files from pure-ftpd. Found some under /etc/pureftpd/ but it doesn't seem to be complete.
[06:05] <freakabcd> dope, somehow it feels like the problem isn't what we are trying to solve. cos the 1024x768 32 bits per pixel exists as mode 54
[06:05] <poptones> hello?
[06:05] <linuxk> when i downloaded sunbird (of mozilla) its just a .targz with a folder in it. the folder has the .exe in it no install file
[06:05] <nickrud> karthikeyan, no, that's for the system admin
[06:05] <Oddzball> Can someone please explain how to install the ATI Linux Drivers?
[06:06] <linuxk> i just made an app folder in my home dir
[06:06] <nickrud> Sjoerd-, dpkg -L pure-ftpd  | less
[06:06] <Sjoerd-> what does that do?
[06:06] <lightstar> linuxk, did you dl the linux version?..what is sunbird btw?
[06:06] <dope> freakabcd: so what could possibly fix this?
[06:06] <shadeofgrey> hey lkistenn up everybody
[06:07] <shadeofgrey> has anybody here downloaded and installed flock successfully????
[06:07] <freakabcd> dope, wait. i'll let you install 915resolution first
[06:07] <disinterested> im trying to install ov51x-jpeg-0.5.3.tar.gz with no luck any one know how ?
[06:07] <linuxk> lightstar: its installed and working. mozilla programs just have a .tar.gz with a folder in it. in the folder is the whole app
[06:07] <nickrud> Sjoerd-, it lists the files in the package, and sends it to less so it doesn't all scroll off the screen
[06:07] <dope> freakabcd: it still says cannot find package
[06:07] <linuxk> i was going to put it in opt
[06:07] <dope> freakabcd: i cant install 915resolution
[06:07] <lightstar> linuxk, and your question is?
[06:07] <linuxk> but i just left it in home/apps/
[06:07] <linuxk> is that acceptable or no?
[06:07] <freakabcd> oh no you can: wget http://ftp.cs.umn.edu/pub/ubuntu/pool/universe/9/915resolution/915resolution_0.5-1ubuntu6_i386.deb
[06:08] <dope> alriht
[06:08] <nickrud> linuxk, sure, /opt is for everyone on the machine, home is for just one user
[06:08] <lightstar> linuxk actually yes...you can keep it wherever you want but its best to put it somewhere you can monitor easily
[06:08] <linuxk> well its only me
[06:08] <molinero> !edgy
[06:08] <ubotu> I heard edgy is Ubuntu 6.10 DEVELOPMENT, the "Edgy Eft" release. Discussions about and support for edgy take place in #ubuntu+1
[06:08] <linuxk> so im not too worried
[06:08] <lightstar> linuxk, and home is not a good place../opt or /usr/local would be better
[06:08] <linuxk> ok thnx guys
[06:08] <Sjoerd-> nickrud: Nothing is running off the screen, there are only like 4 files.
[06:09] <ghozt> how do you install and use gtk themes?
[06:09] <shad0w1e> hmm how does JFS compare to XFS?
[06:09] <nickrud> Sjoerd-, then the rest of the files are in the packages that were installed along with pure-ftp. Probably those 4 lines say what packages
[06:10] <linuxk> lightstar: i cant paste into opt\
[06:10] <nickrud> Sjoerd-, can that last. 4 lines, there should be more
[06:10] <Sjoerd-> nickrud: I'm trying to follow the guideliness from the pureftpd documentation. They are talking about files under: /user/local/sbin/pure-ftpd
[06:10] <dooglus> linuxk: it's fine in /home - if it's only you using it, then why not?
[06:10] <Dralid> Please help: I'm using Azureus and the torrents will run fine for one minute than drop to 0 bytes/sec for fifteen minutes and repeat. I've applied the CVS switch-out to get Azureus to work.
[06:10] <dope> freakabcd: im getting a 404 not found dude
[06:10] <nickrud> Sjoerd-, take a look at /usr/share/doc/pure-ftpd , that's one of the more important places files from a package go.
[06:10] <lightstar> linuxk, sudo mv /home/app /opt/
[06:10] <Cntryboy> I need help configuring the original unreal tournament to where it's not so dang choppy, I can choose 1024x768, and let me choose 16bit..
[06:10] <linuxk> ah thnx
[06:11] <nickrud> Sjoerd-, probably more relevant info there
[06:11] <shad0w1e> Cntryboy, are you sure 3d acceleration is on?
[06:11] <coldasfire06> does anybody here knows of a cool dock for enlightenment?
[06:11] <Sjoerd-> nickrud: It doesn't seem listed under share either
[06:11] <buggzero> where do I pick my GTK+ theme
[06:11] <Cntryboy> well as far as being loaded by unreal tournament no. As far as knowing that nvidia drivers are installed yes..
[06:11] <nickrud> Sjoerd-, share/doc . You want installation docs, right? Thats the place to look
[06:12] <freakabcd> dope, grrr.. damn mirrors.. wget http://itanix.rutgers.edu/ubuntu/pool/universe/9/915resolution/915resolution_0.5-1ubuntu6_i386.deb
[06:12] <freakabcd> dope, this one works for sure cos i just downloaded it :)
[06:12] <Cntryboy> Ive been trying to figure this out for days.. and I'm getting no where
[06:12] <dope> freakabcd: k
[06:12] <linuxk> you guys are the bomb
[06:13] <Sjoerd-> nickrud: Ah, ok I found them. What I really want is to setup the ftp server. Maybe the documentation here works for ubuntu. Thanks.
[06:13] <buggzero> Is there no built in theme chooser?
[06:13] <buggzero> for GTK+
[06:13] <lightstar> buggzero, gtk-theme-switch
[06:13] <dope> freakabcd: dude u sure your giving me the right mirrors? lol
[06:13] <buggzero> im getting errors when I've used that lightstar
[06:13] <someothernick> system pref art manager
[06:14] <freakabcd> dope, are you sure you're typing in the url properly?
[06:14] <lightstar> buggzero, what kind of errors?
[06:14] <freakabcd> i just got the package from that cmdline. i copy pasted it here _after_ it worked
[06:14] <Cntryboy> shad0wle still here?
[06:14] <freakabcd> dope, you have links ?
[06:14] <freakabcd> or lynx?
[06:14] <dope> freakabcd: yeah, i keep checking it
[06:14] <buggzero>  The kind that sound like this:    "Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkentry.c: line 440 (gtk_entry_set_text): assertion `text != NULL' failed.
[06:14] <buggzero> "
[06:14] <dope> freakabcd: lynx
[06:14] <nickrud> Sjoerd-, there's a doc dir for every package. Most actually have some useful stuff there ;)
[06:14] <panthar> Does anyone have any experience fixing an XMMS/Rhythmbox problem of locking up when trying to play MP3 streams?  They can both play local MP3's on my machine but lock up when attempting to play most streams.
[06:15] <freakabcd> dope, go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/x11/915resolution
[06:15] <dope> freakabcd: ok
[06:15] <freakabcd> then go ahead on the i386 link
[06:16] <freakabcd> than you choose one of them north american mirrors
[06:16] <dope> freakabcd: ok im there
[06:16] <dope> download the .tar.gz?
[06:16] <freakabcd> good. huh?
[06:16] <freakabcd> nono.. download the deb
[06:16] <shad0w1e> XFS, or JFS ??
[06:16] <dope> ok
[06:17] <dope> freakabcd: i dont see a .deb file
[06:17] <Stylish_One> hello
[06:17] <someothernick> hi
[06:17] <freakabcd> dope, wheres it says 'Download 915resolution' below that amd64, below that i386
[06:17] <Stylish_One> hows it going
[06:17] <Dralid> I'm using Azureus and the torrents will run fine for one minute than all connections drop to 0 B/s for fifteen minutes and repeat. I've applied the CVS switch-out to get Azureus to work. This is well beyond the normal fluctuations for torrents.

[06:19] <dope> freakabcd: yes i see them, its now giving me the option to install it, do it?
[06:19] <buggzero> no it opens but it doesn't show any themes working
[06:19] <freakabcd> install? woah. ok i didn't know you could install from within lynx
[06:19] <Stylish_One> is the use for this chat only for help with linux?
[06:19] <freakabcd> anyway, if it doesn;t work, download it to somewhere on your disk
[06:20] <dope> ok
[06:20] <someothernick> Stylish_One, #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:20] <dope> freakabcd: it installed
[06:20] <icefeldt> guys i'm missing a file to compile a programm. its called "sysfs.c" need it for cpufreqd. where can i get it?
[06:20] <dope> freakabcd: it says that it has not been automatically configured
[06:20] <lightstar> buggzero, do you see default?
[06:20] <Stylish_One> blah
[06:20] <dope> freakabcd: 915resolution wasnt able to start
[06:21] <Stylish_One> i don't understand this chat
[06:21] <someothernick> this is for help
[06:21] <buggzero> lightstar: yes I see it, but all the preview windows look alike
[06:21] <lightstar> Stylish_One, join #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:21] <someothernick> other chan is for chat
[06:21] <Stylish_One> oh
[06:21] <dope> Panel id function not support
[06:21] <dope> Panel id function not supported
[06:21] <Stylish_One> which one?
[06:21] <someothernick> Stylish_One, #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:21] <freakabcd> dope, 915resolution -l
[06:21] <sentinel> I currently have a GUI ubuntu install setup for remote accessing, therefore without a monitor plugged in, except after the reboot without the monitor, it seems to only be able to start X at 640x480 resolution, is there any way I could force it to run at a higher resolution?
[06:21] <dope> ok
[06:21] <lightstar> buggzero, even after clicking apply?
[06:21] <Stylish_One> oh okay I get it that's a link. sorry.
[06:21] <freakabcd> does it list a 1024x768 32bpp ?
[06:21] <freakabcd> prolly mode 54
[06:21] <sentinel> nope
[06:22] <efox> ARG ! I hate wireless
[06:22] <lightstar> buggzero, you need to close and restart the app to get the new theme
[06:22] <dope> freakabcd:  it gave me an output with a bunch of modes and resoltions
[06:22] <Stylish_One> thx.
[06:22] <sentinel> in the GUI configuration it only lists 640x480 at 60hz
[06:22] <efox> Anyone recommend a good network manager ?
[06:22] <freakabcd> sentinel, sorry dude, what i say applies to dope at the moment.
[06:23] <efox> Where you can connect to any network, open, shared or protected and if it requires a wep or wpa i can just enter it
[06:23] <kholerabbi> Anyone know how to install shockwave on breezy?
[06:23] <kholerabbi> (fore firefox)
[06:23] <efox> my "terminal" experience is getting rather frustrating because sometimes i can connect and other times i cannot
[06:23] <nickrud> sentinel, you might want to try using freenx or fall back on ssh -X , that way you're not tied to the resolution at the other end.
[06:24] <dope> freakabcd: im not sure what that did
[06:24] <AkumAPRIME> hey, is there a way to get Ubuntu to change the background wallpaper every X units of time, like other linux Distros do?
[06:24] <freakabcd> dope, err.. did you see what i typed earlier?
[06:25] <dope> freakabcd: if you mean the 915resolution -l, then yes
[06:25] <freakabcd> does it list a 1024x768 32bpp ? probably mode 54
[06:25] <disinterested> im trying to install ov51x-jpeg-0.5.3.tar.gz with no success any help?
[06:25] <dope> yes
[06:25] <dope> it does
[06:25] <nickrud> kholerabbi, only by installing firefox or ie in wine, shockwave doesn't exist for linux
[06:25] <linuxk> where do themes go?
[06:25] <EnsignRedshirt> Hello, world.
[06:25] <nickrud> linuxk, /usr/share/themes
[06:25] <dope> do i edit the xorg.conf file ?
[06:25] <lightstar> AkumAPRIME, depending on the wm, you can write a script and put it in crontab to change the wallpaper
[06:25] <kholerabbi> Argh, really? no shockwave grr
[06:26] <bimberi> kholerabbi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave
[06:26] <kholerabbi> cheers
[06:26] <bimberi> yw :)
[06:26] <nothingman> I upgraded to Dapper, it boots, gives me ssh, but mythtv-backend doesn't run and I can't see my gui
[06:26] <nickrud> evil page ;p
[06:26] <nothingman> running it on the laptop right now, btw, and loving it
[06:26] <nothingman> but on my mythbackend it doesn't even give me X
[06:26] <bimberi> !ubotu shockwave is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave
[06:26] <ubotu> ...but shockwave is already something else...
[06:26] <bimberi> !ubotu no shockwave is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave
[06:26] <ubotu> okay, bimberi
[06:26] <EnsignRedshirt> If anyone here knows something about routing and VPN, could you take a look at this and see if the routing makes sense: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16047
[06:27] <nothingman> I upgraded to Dapper but now have no X
[06:27] <nickrud> bimberi, you noticed the change already
[06:27] <freakabcd> dope, try adding Option "VBERestore" "yes"
[06:27] <freakabcd> within the Device section
[06:27] <bimberi> nickrud: to help.u.c ?  yes
[06:27] <nickrud> caught me right in an edit
[06:28] <dope> ok
[06:28] <bimberi> nickrud: oops, sorry :(
[06:28] <buggzero> lightstar: that didnt fix the problem
[06:28] <nickrud> you?
[06:28] <dope> freakabcd:  should i switch the driver back to i810, it was on vesa at the moment
[06:28] <lightstar> buggzero, are you on gnome?
[06:28] <freakabcd> yes, back to i810
[06:28] <buggzero> it gave me two more errors: Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkentry.c: line 440 (gtk_entry_set_text): assertion `text != NULL' failed.
[06:28] <buggzero> GLib-CRITICAL **: file gstrfuncs.c: line 186 (g_strconcat): assertion `string1 != NULL' failed.
[06:28] <buggzero> yes i am
[06:28] <bimberi> nickrud: you were editing the factoid?
[06:28] <nickrud> bimberi, no the wiki change.
[06:28] <dope> ok
[06:29] <bimberi> nickrud: ah
[06:29] <nickrud> but I saw your failure, so stopped. That was true also ;)
[06:29] <freakabcd> dope, also. when you're done editing: rm -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log;
[06:29] <dope> freakabcd: done
[06:29] <dope> ok
[06:30] <dope> ok don
[06:30] <dope> e
[06:30] <buggzero> lightstar., yes im on gnome
[06:30] <freakabcd> dope, this might sound silly: shutdown the machine and remove powersupply (_including_ the battery on the laptop. then switch back on
[06:30] <dope> freakabcd: im not on a laptop
[06:30] <freakabcd> ok, no worries then. reboot
[06:30] <lightstar> buggzero, errr... gnome allows you to change themes.. using the theme option in the control center
[06:30] <nich0s> I am having an initial video card issue, where the Gnome desktop refuses to load.
[06:30] <freakabcd> or maybe do shutdown and reboot
[06:31] <lightstar> buggzero, you don't need to use gtk-theme-switch
[06:31] <dope> freakabcd: ok
[06:31] <dope> freakabcd: hope this works, heh
[06:31] <freakabcd> yeah
[06:31] <Cntryboy> Can someone help me fix my unreal tournament. It's choppy, won't let me choose 1024x768, and it won't let me change the color bit to 16. I'm not even sure if it's loading nvidia drivers even though the latest are installed and working properly...
[06:31] <buggzero> lightstar: control center?
[06:31] <lightstar> buggzero, gnome-control-center
[06:31] <johnZay> hiya... can I steal more space of an nfts partition for linux?
[06:32] <Oddzball> Alright guys, Im at my wits end
[06:32] <nich0s> johnZay, You should be ablt to use a util called ntfs-resize, it's an open source project.
[06:32] <Oddzball> this makes no sense, i did everything I am suppose to and for some reason the aticonfig file is nowhere to be found
[06:32] <EnsignRedshirt> If anyone knows a little about routing and pptp VPN tunnels, take a look at this and tell me if there is anything obviously wrong with the routing: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16047
[06:32] <johnZay> is it safe?
[06:33] <Cntryboy> so no one here plays games? all im asking for is alittle help
[06:33] <EnsignRedshirt> johnZay: Nothing is safe. Backup your disk first.
[06:33] <nich0s> Always backup
[06:33] <gavagai> johnZay, if you're worried about it, no it isn't safe
[06:33] <johnZay> hehe :-)
[06:34] <lightstar> buggzero, from gnome-control-center, choose 'theme' and from there you can change the icon and the windows
[06:34] <HeavyJay> how happy am I to have my wireless working finally?  very freaking happy.
[06:34] <Cntryboy> I need help configuring the original unreal tournament to where it's not so dang choppy, I can choose 1024x768, and let me choose 16bit..
[06:34] <nich0s> How would I go about reconfiguring my video preferences from the term?
[06:34] <Oddzball> Please, can someone explain to me why the ATI linux drivers are not installing?
[06:34] <Davo_Dinkum> if i enable universal packages, doesnt that mean i risk installing non-Free Software?
[06:35] <Cntryboy> !ati
[06:35] <ubotu> http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/hardware.html#installatidriver or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI radeon 9200 & below supported by open-source drivers http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Dapper_Installation_Guide

[06:35] <freakabcd> ok. what error?
[06:35] <freakabcd> paste the whole log file
[06:36] <gavagai> nich0s, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg .   iirc
[06:36] <Davo_Dinkum> do universal packages contain non-Free Software?
[06:36] <nickrud> Cntryboy, you need to install the xorg-driver-fglrx to have aticonfig
[06:36] <dope> ok
[06:36] <Cntryboy> I don't need the help on that rud
[06:36] <EnsignRedshirt> Davo_Dinkum: No. http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components
[06:36] <Cntryboy> was doing it for the feller up top
[06:36] <Cntryboy> my problem is this..
[06:36] <Cntryboy> I need help configuring the original unreal tournament to where it's not so dang choppy, I can choose 1024x768, and let me choose 16bit..

[06:37] <Cntryboy> nickrud do u know how to help me :D
[06:38] <nickrud> Cntryboy, I've seen yours, I wouldn't have a clue about ureal. Maybe try the options in nvidia-settings ?
[06:38] <Cntryboy> i've been at this problem for a week now
[06:38] <Cntryboy> give me an example nickrud please?
[06:38] <Oddzball> Nickrud: Where and how do i install the driver?
[06:38] <freakabcd> dope, err.. how is this a different error?
[06:39] <freakabcd> it looks the same before
[06:39] <nickrud> Cntryboy, see the maybe & the ? I was trying to slide out ;)
[06:39] <Cntryboy> u lost me on the & and ?
[06:39] <nickrud> Oddzball, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-fglrx
[06:39] <Cntryboy> my drivers say this in xorg.conf
[06:39] <Cntryboy> Section "Device"
[06:39] <Cntryboy>     Identifier     "NVIDIA Corporation NV15 [GeForce2 GTS/Pro] "

[06:40] <dope> freakabcd: i got a different error with the Vesa driver, heh
[06:40] <freakabcd> where was this? i never saw that error
[06:40] <nickrud> Oddzball, you should be ok with the rest of the install on the wiki.
[06:40] <freakabcd> anyway, i don;t care about that. it should work witht he i810
[06:40] <Davo_Dinkum> how do i edit /etc/apt/sources.list again?
[06:40] <Cntryboy> nvidia-setttings? how do I get into them
[06:40] <Oddzball> nickrud, i looked at the wiki...
[06:40] <dope> freakabcd: i'm not sure i pasted it
[06:40] <freakabcd> dope, anyway. cat /etc/default/915resolution
[06:40] <matthew_w> How would I run something as a different user/
[06:40] <nich0s> sudo
[06:41] <dope> freakabcd: ok
[06:41] <alth> Why would you want to, matthew? In what context?
[06:41] <matthew_w> there used to be a "run as different user" in system tools, run as different user
[06:41] <EnsignRedshirt> Davo_Dinkum: You could just use Synaptic:  System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
[06:41] <freakabcd> whats ti say?
[06:41] <freakabcd> blanks ?
[06:41] <matthew_w> alth; I have a mythtv user and group, and I want to run mythtv-setup as the mythtv user.
[06:41] <matthew_w> Was easy in breezy
[06:41] <dope> the X and Y RES are blank
[06:41] <dope> mode is on auto
[06:41] <matthew_w> Now the shortcut is gone from the menu X_X
[06:41] <alth> Ah. Maybe there's a script, but I don't know an easy way to do that...
[06:41] <dope> bit is blank
[06:41] <freakabcd> dope, whats in mode?
[06:42] <dope> auto
[06:42] <dope> MODE=auto
[06:42] <freakabcd> dope, MODE=54, XRESO=1024, YRESO=768, BIT=32
[06:42] <nich0s> Ok
[06:42] <dope> ok
[06:42] <freakabcd> set that and save the file
[06:42] <nickrud> matthew_w, if it was in the menu in breezy, try running the accessory alacarte, and seeing if the menu entry is just turned off.
[06:43] <Cntryboy> who here is a video card-game player expert helper?
[06:43] <Cntryboy> need help bad :(
[06:43] <matthew_w> nickrud; thanks 1
[06:43] <matthew_w> :D
[06:43] <nich0s> I am getting a error when I try to boot my box in to ubuntu I get an error about the vid card being uncompatible... how would I go about changing that back over to the standard VESA driver?
[06:43] <dope> freakabcd: ok, done
[06:43] <freakabcd> dope, sudo /etc/init.d/915resolution
[06:43] <goodtimes> how can I set my ip address as static when connecting to my wireless router? In windows I just setup my ip as <IP_ADDRESS> in the network configuration, I tried the same with ubuntu but was unable to connect to the network
[06:43] <Davo_Dinkum> EnsignRedshirt: i cant change it there, multiverse doesnt show up under Settings>Repositories
[06:43] <dope> ok
[06:43] <freakabcd> startx
[06:43] <nickrud> MatthewV, yw
[06:44] <Cntryboy> nich0s- sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg then choose vesa
[06:44] <dope> it says usage: /etc/init.d/915resolution start
[06:44] <freakabcd> ok, do the start then
[06:44] <dope> ok
[06:44] <nich0s> cntryboy, thanks a million
[06:44] <Oddzball> *Nickrud* Ug, well, I will take another look at the wiki, ive been at this for 3 days now non-stop.. its getting real frustrating
[06:44] <Cntryboy> np
[06:44] <efox> am i still in this room ?
[06:44] <efox> guess not
[06:44] <dope> freakabcd: same error
[06:45] <garryfre> nich0s that would be the name of the video driver ... vesa. Exactly what video card do you have?
[06:45] <Oddzball> *Nickrud* Whats the link to the wiki again?
[06:45] <Oddzball> .. nevermind
[06:45] <dope> i810(0): No Video BIOS modes for chosen depth
[06:45] <nich0s> I have two
[06:45] <nich0s> I have the onboard intel card
[06:45] <nickrud> Oddzball, if you didn't have the fglrx driver already installed, you didn't read it carefully. help.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ati I think.
[06:45] <freakabcd> dope, very strange. you might want to file a bugreport on bugzilla for xorg
[06:45] <nich0s> and an onboard nvidia
[06:45] <dope> freakabcd: how do i do that
[06:46] <freakabcd> dope, sorry couldn't figure out your display problem
[06:46] <Cntryboy> for nvidia choose nv until u have nvidia drivers, then change that to nvidia in xorg.conf
[06:46] <freakabcd> dope, lynx or links and then https://bugs.freedesktop.org/
[06:46] <nich0s> I will do that, but for the mean time and the majority of the time I am using the intel card for battery life.
[06:46] <dope> freakabcd: its ok, you tried
[06:46] <nickrud> Oddzball, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[06:46] <dope> ok
[06:46] <Cntryboy> well for that im not sure unless its vesa
[06:47] <freakabcd> i've got to runn off and do other stuff now.
[06:47] <nich0s> sounds good... thanks for the help
[06:47] <Cntryboy> or it might pick it up default
[06:47] <EnsignRedshirt> Davo_Dinkum: Which version of Ubunut are you using?  If 6.06: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[06:47] <freakabcd> if you're still around when i get back might try some other stuff
[06:47] <nickrud> Cntryboy, been learning your X I see ;0
[06:47] <nich0s> I'll bother you again soon :)O
[06:47] <garryfre> nich0s Hmmm, Should be able to run one of those in accellerated mode. Try this url, sometimes it helps you auto setup your video card. .... http://users.on.net/~goetz/EasyUbuntu/
[06:47] <dope> freakabcd: alriht  i probably will be
[06:47] <Cntryboy> nickrud, ive done it a lot trying to fix this unreal tourny lol
[06:48] <Oddzball> Nickrud, seriously, Ive read it a lot, I tried the driver before, but getting dual head working seems to be a pain, I dont know why considering I follow the instructions.
[06:49] <EnsignRedshirt> Davo_Dinkum: ...and if 5.10: https://help.ubuntu.com/5.10/ubuntu/faq/C/fg-installing-applications.html
[06:49] <zodo> I seem to be having trouble getting apm support running on my ancient laptop.  Prior to this, I was running debian stable (Kernel 2.6.8) with no issues, power management wise.  Now that I've jumped up to Dapper w/ 2.6.15 I get "Error inserting apm...no such device" and so forth when running modprobe apm.  Is it possible that the kernel is attempting to load acpi at startup, and thus preventing apm from functioning?
[06:49] <garryfre> nich0s You said both cards were onboard. You mean you actually have two video cards in two different slots or is one built into the motherboard and the other in a slot?
[06:50] <nickrud> Oddzball, I never have run an ati, but I did see that you not having aticonfig meant something was wrong at a fundamental level. That wiki page has been worked over and refined for a while.
[06:50] <zodo> I've seen the "acpi=force" command for adding to grub's menu.lst...what's the variation to prevent acpi from being loaded?
[06:50] <lightstar> zodo, acpi=off
[06:51] <nich0s> garryfre, I am a laptop with two motherboard vid cards
[06:51] <nich0s> one is intel, one is nvida
[06:51] <zodo> Thanks, lightstar.  I'll give that a try, I guess.
[06:51] <lightstar> zodo, np:)
[06:51] <letsgfuad> how is ubuntu w/ php servers?
[06:51] <zodo> I didn't want to try acpi=no and have it kill grub.  :)
[06:52] <garryfre> Wow, that might confuse easybuntu, two different video cards. It's probably what is confusing xorg configuration itself.
[06:52] <nich0s> I only activate one at a time :)
[06:52] <lightstar> zodo, you can try it first b4 editing ur grub...
[06:52] <nich0s> Not too confusing
[06:52] <garryfre> Cool, that's a good idea.
[06:52] <nich0s> Yeah
[06:52] <lightstar> zodo, edit it manually during bootup and it is only 4 that session
[06:52] <Cntryboy> if unreal tournament says this for vidieo driver does this mean my nvidia is picking up open gl. (  <?int?OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRen  ) thats all it shows but im sure it keeps going.
