[08:22] <antrix> scorpix: i don't see any errors in that log output :)
[08:22] <plex0r> make sure netbios is enabled on the router polmon
[08:23] <plex0r> subnets and ips are right
[08:23] <plex0r> right permissions
[08:23] <djp> scorpix: have you installed libdvdcss2?
[08:23] <scorpix> djp: yes
[08:23] <antrix> totem-xine is pretty fine for me.. though totem-gstreamer was something totally unspeakable ;)
[08:24] <antrix> btw, anyone know why dma isn't set by default for my dvd drive?
[08:24] <scorpix> i use totem-xine only for .rm audio/video
[08:24] <FiNeX> hi
[08:24] <djp> scorpix: what happens when you try to play the DVD?
[08:24] <ernstp> if I want to contribute a patch to ubunut, or a debian dist... how should I do?
[08:25] <ernstp> I've apt-get source pkg, and edited the source
[08:25] <scorpix> djp: when i use gmpalyer it hang for few seconds then dont play it :S
[08:25] <antrix> ernstp: ubuntu has a bugzilla - i guess u could add a patch there
[08:25] <FiNeX> i've found a problem in ubuntu... where can I report it?
[08:25] <antrix> FiNeX: ubuntu has a bugzilla :-)
[08:25] <FiNeX> antrix: wow... thx :-)
[08:26] <sigglet> FiNeX: what problem?
[08:26] <ernstp> antrix, I was thinking about if there's good dpkg tools to do stuff after I've edited code
[08:26] <GNAM> Shall I install warty or hoary pre6?
[08:26] <FiNeX> it's related to the gnome burning cd
[08:26] <scorpix> what the extension that i should use with xine for the DVD?
[08:27] <antrix> ernstp: sorry, can't help u there. not much of a hacker - just a happy user :-)
[08:27] <dhen> where can i download updates for warty?
[08:28] <JDahl> dhen, there are only security updates for warty.. (no FF1.0, et cetera)
[08:28] <antrix> scorpix: 'xine dvd:/1' or something
[08:28] <FiNeX> if you try to burn a cd and you choose "maximum speed", the software doesn't check the maximum speed of the media and it try to write to the max speed of the cdburner. so if the media doesn't support it you have an error
[08:28] <bretzel> I dunno if that link works and is worth it but I 've put a screenshot to prove xine working: https://tuxweb.homelinux.net/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core:ShowItem&g2_itemId=30&g2_imageViewsIndex=1 -- please don't mess with the site :-)
[08:28] <scorpix> wow
[08:28] <dhen> JDahl, where can i download it?
[08:28] <scorpix> xine play it for a second then stop :)
[08:29] <JDahl> dhen, it should be setup already in your sources.list file... check archives im synaptic
[08:30] <djp> scorpix: try using totem or better still xine. if you want to use mplayer use the installation guide here http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=9850.
[08:30] <Fr33man> hi, i've got a problem with internet configuration
[08:31] <antrix> FiNeX: Interesting.. I've never thought abt checking for speed that the media can support.
[08:31] <antrix> Finex: is it even possible? Do other burning software chk for that?
[08:31] <Fr33man> is there any tutorial for getting internet started
[08:31] <djp> is there anybody here who knows whether spamd needs to be enabled to use spamassassin with evolution?
[08:31] <FiNeX> antrix: yes
[08:31] <FiNeX> antrix: k3b do that
[08:32] <Fr33man> can somebody help me? me is noob, please query
[08:32] <scorpix> djp:  i'll install ogle if it doesnt work i'll do the HOWTO, th.x
[08:32] <neighborlee> isnt universe a direct mirror of debian unstable?>.just wondering because scummVM version if one behind in apt yet on debians site its up to current ?..if not whom does one contact to get latest release of a given app in ?
[08:32] <FiNeX> antrix: and it's based on the cdrtools package as gnomeburning frontend... I think
[08:32] <antrix> neighborlee: ubuntu's universe is periodically synced with debian's
[08:33] <neighborlee> ah ok
[08:33] <FiNeX> now I'm looking for the bugzilla on the ubuntu website...
[08:33] <antrix> FiNeX: sounds like a valid bugzilla report to me
[08:34] <FiNeX> antrix: sorry... what do you mean (I don't know english very well -_- )
[08:34] <antrix> Fr33man: what kind of internet connection do u want to configure?
[08:35] <antrix> FiNeX: I meant you should definitely file a report in bugzilla :-)
[08:35] <Myrtti> I just have to love this. I think OpenOffice is great. It doesn't do anything I don't want it to do, and does exactly what I want it to. Unlike Word.
[08:35] <Myrtti> Oh why haven't I switched to Linux earlier
[08:35] <Myrtti> oh why?!?!
[08:35] <cwillu> so, any ideas why ubuntu would lock up in the initial install screens?
[08:36] <FiNeX> yes... I'm creating an account :)
[08:36] <Fr33man> antrix: pppoe via ethernet but dunno how does it work
[08:36] <bretzel> Myrtti::-P
[08:36] <antrix> OOo: Has anyone tried OOo2 ? I've seen some packages seeded in Hoary - haven't tried yet
[08:36] <FiNeX> antrix: ... I want to try... maybe later I'll download it :)
[08:37] <antrix> Fr33man: unfortunately ubuntu doesn't have a gui config for pppoe
[08:37] <bretzel> antrix: I do, and seems to work well, but I've not tested that much to say it is totally working
[08:37] <Myrtti> it's breathtaking experience to realize something like this. The last time I've been stunned like this was when I heard about ... no wait, this is a channel full of men... :->
[08:37] <cwillu> anyone able to give me a hand getting the installer working?
[08:38] <Fr33man> antrix: hum.. what to do now? so i can't use internet?
[08:38] <antrix> Fr33man: there's a console tool in debian to do it. can't recall name
[08:39] <antrix> Fr33man: pppoeconf
[08:40] <antrix> bretzel: the only thing i care abt in OOo2 is user interface since features wise i don't need much. does it look any better or is it still boring? :-)
[08:40] <cwillu> neat... maybe it was just the printed cd that was junk...
[08:40] <bretzel> Fr33man: me too I can't tell why your pppoe isn't working because I installed Warty on a friend's computer and he has to use pppoe, but Warty installation setup all and I had nothing to setup: excepted the ppp auth...
[08:41] <cwillu> hmm
[08:41] <cwillu> or not\
[08:42] <bretzel> antrix: oOo2 It is not really dff. than 1.1.x, seems fast... it is all I can say because I didn't play that much with it since I have it ... sorry
[08:42] <antrix> Fr33man: did u try running 'sudo pppoeconf' from a console?
[08:42] <Fr33man> no
[08:42] <Fr33man> but thanks i will try
[08:43] <antrix> cwillu: what's going wrong?
[08:43] <cwillu> might have found the problem...
[08:43] <neighborlee> should I be exporting varibles ( for example: export DELTA_INC="$DELTA_ROOT/inc;$DELTA_ROOT/ext/inc" ) somewhere other than /etc/profile ???
[08:43] <cwillu> I got in 10 cds last week
[08:43] <cwillu> just trying to move my laptop over to it (I've been testing on my desktop, and am convinced)
[08:43] <cwillu> but the install keeps dieing moments in
[08:44] <cwillu> however, it looks like most of my cd's have hairline cracks in them :(
[08:44] <cwillu> just found a second one (I gave away the one that I installed from originally on my desktop)
[08:44] <cwillu> without a crack
[08:45] <cwillu> seems to be working now :)
[08:45] <antrix> cwillu: if ur laptop is not a work machine - maybe u should get a hoary cd and install. good fun to play with :)
[08:46] <cwillu> it is... although I have no issues with playing around with it
[08:46] <cwillu> I think I've already upgraded my test machine to hoary via apt-get
[08:46] <apokryphos> you think?
[08:47] <cwillu> I think
[08:47] <cwillu> I might have just done a evil cross of the two, plus other random stuff
[08:47] <antrix> a bunch of thinkers here :-)
[08:47] <cwillu> you have no idea :p
[08:48] <knucks> so realplayer works on my linux..but i cant get ti work within firefox
[08:49] <cwillu> I'm not supposed to have three menus across the bottom, am I?
[08:49] <cwillu> (desktop)
[08:49] <antrix> cwillu: don't understand. 3 menus?
[08:49] <sproingie> looking at installing ubuntu for first time, had some questions...
[08:49] <cwillu> applications, places and system
[08:50] <cwillu> i.e., the results of my hybrid upgrade
[08:50] <apokryphos> sproingie: Fire away
[08:50] <antrix> cwillu: that's hoary then
[08:50] <cwillu> okay, this is good
[08:50] <antrix> cwillu: although they are on top for me
[08:50] <FiNeX> i've another question related to the "hibernation" of the system. Have I to modify the bootloader for resuming the system *after* the hibernation ?
[08:50] <cwillu> I had a beatrix install that did that;  actually this explains a lot
[08:50] <cwillu> heh
[08:50] <sproingie> how much does ubuntu track debian?  is it like a knoppix thing, or can one update core debs?
[08:50] <cwillu> I don't like top menus;  I forgot I changed it
[08:50] <sproingie> i got burned with knoppix :(
[08:50] <apokryphos> cwillu: you can always find out your distro by various different commands/files... cat /etc/issue is probably the easiest.
[08:52] <antrix> FiNeX: for hibernation, boot loader doesn't have to be modified. Just edit grub to get the resume=/dev/hdax part in
[08:52] <cwillu> okay... everything still worked so I wasn't worried (with good reason apparently), but still good to know
[08:52] <knucks> how would i go about deleting an ntfs partition and making it a linux one?
[08:52] <ernstp> knucks, apt-get install gparted
[08:52] <cwillu> you don't want to dual boot?
[08:52] <knucks> no
[08:52] <knucks> im on solely linux
[08:52] <knucks> but my old ntfs partiton has all the mp3s
[08:52] <knucks> so im transfering them over right now
[08:52] <cwillu> lol
[08:52] <cwillu> that was my morning :)
[08:52] <FiNeX> antrix: thanks :)
[08:53] <knucks> and then i want to change the ntfs one into linux and throw the mp3s back on it
[08:53] <sproingie> i guess core debs will always have different deps, but looks there's a maintenance path.  that's where knoppix burned me
[08:53] <sproingie> guess i shouldnt worry about it
[08:53] <antrix> FiNex: no probs. hopefully hibernate works for you. my thinkpad just dies on hibernate
[08:53] <Levander> anybody know how i change my fqdn, as returned by 'hostname -fqdn'?
[08:53] <sproingie> anyone know if the installer will work with a nforce 3 mobo (i.e. the network) on amd64?
[08:54] <Felesh> hi
[08:54] <cwillu> is this a common issue, with the cracked cd's through the mail?
[08:54] <antrix> cwillu: mine turned out ok
[08:54] <sproingie> alioth debian amd64 installer detects the nforce ethernet, but no packets go through it
[08:54] <knucks> yay for the next 4000files
[08:54] <cwillu> I ordered 10, 7 of them turned out to be cracked (got lucky on my first install)
[08:54] <Felesh> ubuntu hoary is usable? i mean... hoary is unstable like SID or like EXPERIMENTAL ?
[08:54] <sproingie> hoping i dont get the same prob w/ ubuntu :-/
[08:55] <antrix> sproingie: i kind of remember reading that nforce needs binary ethernet drivers from nvidia
[08:55] <GNAM> same question of Felesh
[08:55] <sproingie> antrix: that presents a sort of chicken and egg problem, no?
[08:55] <FiNeX> antrix: if the system wasn't hibernated, the "resume=/dev/hdaX" is ok?
[08:55] <bretzel> antrix: ...and how to get hibernation to be an option in GDM/Gnome ?
[08:56] <andrewski> can anyone tell me (or point me to docs that will tell me) how to set up trusted repositories so synaptic won't always complain about authentication?
[08:56] <cwillu> installed the authentication module did we?  :p
[08:56] <antrix> FinEx: hdaX should be your swap partition
[08:57] <antrix> FiNeX: and u can leave that in ur kernel boot params in grub's config file. if system didn't hibernate - then it'll boot up normally, otherwise resume
[08:57] <FiNeX> antrix: ok... thanks... :)
[08:57] <antrix> bretzel: chk /etc/default/acpi-support
[08:57] <bretzel> antrix: okay ...
[08:58] <antrix> FiNeX, bretzel: http://www.ubuntulinux.com/wiki/HoaryPM
[08:58] <andrewski> cwillu: is that something i can uninstall?
[08:58] <cwillu> I think so... can't remember the package off hand, and I didn't think it was installed by default
[08:58] <andrewski> cwillu: well, i may have inadvertantly installed it.
[08:58] <cwillu> I installed it by accident on another installation and was cursing myself :)
[08:58] <FiNeX> antrix: good :)
[08:59] <Fr33man> hi antrix! just want to say thanks. it works fine. now i'm running under ubuntu first time :)
[08:59] <antrix> Fr33man: cool :-)
[09:00] <antrix> andrewski: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AptAuthenticationInstructionsForHoary
[09:00] <LordC> How do you install a .deb file that you've downloaded? :/
[09:00] <LordC> Im new to Ubuntu :)
[09:00] <antrix> cwillu: authentication hasn't given me any problems. are u sure you are on pure hoary system? no residues from warty! :)
[09:00] <sls> ll
[09:00] <cwillu>  GnuPG
[09:00] <Felesh> ubuntu hoary is usable? i mean... hoary is unstable like SID or like EXPERIMENTAL ?
[09:00] <cwillu> maybe
[09:01] <cwillu> I did it under a different distro
[09:01] <sls> anyone a tftp boot guru?
[09:01] <antrix> sls: not me!
[09:01] <marcin_ant> hi people
[09:01] <marcin_ant> I got a problem with samba and printing
[09:01] <antrix> Felesh: it is usable. but there are lots of new packages updated everyday
[09:02] <antrix> Felesh: if it is a work machine - don't run hoary
[09:02] <marcin_ant> does someone know how should I set samba to enable anonymous printing from xp clients?
[09:02] <Felesh> it is a home machine
[09:02] <cwillu> ignore that gnupg remark before...
[09:02] <andrewski> antrix: thanks.
[09:02] <andrewski> cwillu: quoting that link: "it's now transparent to authenticate..." so i don't think there's a package.
[09:03] <wezzer> please somebody answer, is it good idea to upgrade ati-drivers via synaptic?
[09:03] <wezzer> will it destroy my config
[09:04] <wezzer> do I have to rerun dpkg --reconfigure-x-server
[09:04] <wezzer> any other tips?
[09:04] <antrix> LordC: 'sudo dpkg -i mypackage.deb'
[09:05] <spacey> you can always backup your config files wezzer
[09:05] <bretzel> antrix: thank you for the link --- Funny: I realize that chances are that I have NO swap partitions!!!!! houahahahah! I was too in a hury when I installed array-5!!
[09:05] <wezzer> spacey: yes, that's true
[09:05] <wezzer> thanks for the tip :^)
[09:06] <cwillu> okay... everything's running, or at least installing :p
[09:06] <antrix> wezzer: there are some tips in the /etc/x11/xorg.conf file too
[09:06] <rattboi> man
[09:06] <cwillu> next up:  fun with citrix and wine
[09:06] <rattboi> I'm really having troubles with the fglrx drivers :(
[09:06] <jkd> Hello, if I get the latest Ubuntu ARray , can I UPGRADE to the latest next version without reinstalling?
[09:06] <wezzer> ok
[09:07] <rattboi> jkd, yeah
[09:07] <wezzer> I'll look around
[09:07] <antrix> bretzel: linux without swap partition? I thought only hardcore geeks can get the kernel to run without swap !
[09:07] <rattboi> fglrx is loaded, but everything is drawn slowly
[09:08] <cwillu> if you have enough memory (i.e more than a few megs I think) it could work fine.... kinda sorta
[09:08] <jkd> rattboi: with dist-upgrade?
[09:09] <cwillu> done it by accident myself :)
[09:09] <antrix> cwillu: u have to modify swappiness right?
[09:09] <jkd> rattboi: so have you tried from array 1 to array 2 , etc?
[09:10] <molson> Network card not supported during pre-installation.  Is it possible that this module will load after Ubuntu is fully installed?
[09:11] <antrix> jkd: once u install from array, u r on hoary. then u'll get updated packages every day.
[09:11] <cwillu> never did anything except forget to set a swap partition... it wasn't ubuntu though, it was beatrix
[09:11] <jkd> thanks
[09:11] <jkd> antrix: very nice of you
[09:11] <antrix> jkd, no probs
[09:12] <jkd> so why no grub splash on ubuntu =\
[09:13] <antrix> jkd: ubuntu is the most ancient looking distro while installing/booting but the most modern when running :-)
[09:13] <antrix> jkd: of course - kubuntu will be more modern looking than ubuntu ;-)
[09:13] <jkd> lol
[09:13] <larsson_> I edited my fstab s that my windows-partition was mounted. It is mounted all right, but only root have access to it. What option in fstab mounts it so that everyone can view the content? Absolutely NOT write.
[09:14] <Tomcat_> You can get good themes that make it good looking in Gnome also :)
[09:14] <LinuxJones> larsson_, www.ubuntuguide.org
[09:14] <LinuxJones> Tomcat_, I like blue-curve the redhat/fedora default
[09:15] <antrix> larsson_: read only for everyone including root?
[09:15] <Tomcat_> I got... no idea, it looks OSX-ish :)
[09:15] <larsson_> the "ro" option is there.
[09:15] <LinuxJones> Tomcat_, let me find you a screenshot
[09:15] <larsson_> ubuntuguide says nothing about my problem actually.
[09:16] <LinuxJones> Tomcat_, >> http://www.jfedor.org/shots/gnome2.png
[09:16] <antrix> /dev/hda1       /media/c        ntfs    ro,user,gid=100,umask=022      0       0
[09:16] <antrix> oops
[09:16] <Tomcat_> LinuxJones: http://content.no-ip.org/Stuff/Screenshot.png (slow)
[09:16] <antrix> larsson: '/dev/hda1       /media/c        ntfs    ro,user,gid=100,umask=022      0       0'
[09:16] <larsson_> I'll try it.
[09:16] <Tomcat_> Nice. :o
[09:17] <sisq0> hello, I'm a newbie user of ubuntu distribution, and I'm trying to add a new repositor server in Synaptic Package Manager, but i can't . Could anybody help me?
[09:17] <LinuxJones> Tomcat_, that server hosted on a 14.4 modem or what :D
[09:17] <apokryphos> Tomcat_: for future reference, if you want to know, it's *very* easy to convert image filetypes with ImageMagick. One command.
[09:17] <antrix> larsson: 100 is the 'users' group to which I've added the default user and others
[09:17] <Tomcat_> Linux: No, 128 kbit upstream used for a CD image upload to a friend + BitTorrent :)
[09:18] <sisq0> hello?
[09:18] <Tomcat_> apokryphos: I'll have a look.
[09:18] <Tomcat_> apokryphos: I don't have imagemagick installed it seems. :)
[09:18] <apokryphos> Tomcat_: you can install it from the repositories. Then, a simple command like, "convert -quality 75 picture.png picture.jpg" and it'll be very small.
[09:19] <Nekohayo> I'm on hoary trying to update the package "ubuntu-artwork" but I can't... has anyone experienced this?
[09:19] <apokryphos> Tomcat_: not quite sure if it comes by default on Ubuntu. I guess you could try to see if you've got the convert command
[09:19] <Tomcat_> apokryphos: Yeah, I know it... but when I want to get out a pic in a few seconds, I don't install additional software. It's not like I do screenshots every day. :)
[09:19] <sisq0> could anybody give me an ftp repositor to upgrade my ubuntu?
[09:19] <Tomcat_> apokryphos: libmagick comes by default, imagemagick is available.
[09:20] <apokryphos> Tomcat_: Well, sure. You obviously don't have to keep installing. And yes, it would perhaps not be worth it if you were only ever using one image; hence the "for future reference".
[09:20] <antrix> sisq0: everything should be configured by default. just run 'synaptic package manager' and choose 'mark all upgrade'
[09:20] <Tomcat_> apokryphos: Yeah. Thanks. :]
[09:22] <sisq0> thanks antrix
[09:22] <StoffBox-Steve> sisq0, apt-get update && dist-upgrade
[09:22] <sisq0> I prefer to do it via Synaptic,I'm a newbie
[09:25] <antrix> sisq0 asked the third upgrade related question since I joined this channel today. It's good that Hoary has an update manaer running by default in the systray
[09:25] <crazy> hrrr
[09:26] <StoffBox-Steve> oh when you only what a update .. the apt-get is the fastest and best ways :D Synaptiv is fine to look for new tools :D
[09:28] <eleazar_> hi, can anyone tell me whats the command for reconfigure the X?
[09:28] <StoffBox-Steve> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg when you use xorg
[09:28] <StoffBox-Steve> else xserver-xfree86
[09:30] <knucks> how do i get everything in a certain folder (and subfolders and files) to be chmod 777?
[09:30] <henla464> does anyone know how to decrease the size of the sound buffer?
[09:30] <wezzer> chmod -r 777 foo/
[09:30] <apokryphos> knucks: always check the man page first ;-)
[09:31] <henla464>  I get choppy sound in Skype and they suggested to change the size of the buffer on Skype forum. But they didnt know how to change this in Gnome.
[09:31] <knucks> chmod -r 777 doesnt work?
[09:31] <apokryphos> knucks: check the man page. -R, I think.
[09:32] <klaym> I'm trying to unrar a .rar file via Nautilus (x-rar), but I get this: /bin/sh: line 1: unrar: command not found. anyone know what's wrong?
[09:32] <bob_> migrating from windows to ubuntu, what files do I have to copy for mozilla-thunderbird?
[09:32] <apokryphos> bob_: why copy any files? Bookmarks, do you mean?
[09:33] <knucks> so no one knows off hand how to do it?
[09:33] <apokryphos> knucks: Geez. I take it you're not reading at all.
[09:33] <bob_> apokryphos, mail files
[09:34] <knucks> if i knew where the man pages were, id read
[09:34] <knucks> im entirely new to this
[09:34] <knucks> been on it for 10hrs at the most
[09:34] <apokryphos> knucks: man <command>
[09:34] <apokryphos> bob_: heh. For some reason I thought you said firefox, sorry. Don't know how to do that; sorry.
[09:35] <Tomcat_> klaym: You're quite obviously missing the unrar program...
[09:35] <antrix> i am out. good night folks!
[09:35] <apokryphos> knucks: man[ual]  pages are *very* useful. They will tell you the usage of a command and the possible options for it etc.
[09:35] <aurax> anyone here uses intel mobo D915GAV ? on linux?
[09:36] <knucks> ok -R is recursive
[09:36] <apokryphos> There you go. Just as I presumed. :P
[09:36] <knucks> so what do i type in if i want to change Music and im currently in /home/knucks and music is in /home/knucks/Music
[09:36] <apokryphos> cd Music
[09:37] <knucks> k..
[09:37] <klaym> Tomcat_: Thanks, I actually read from the forums that I should get unrar-nonfree
[09:37] <apokryphos> knucks: a pretty good guide to get you started: http://www.icon.co.za/~psheer/book/index.html.gz
[09:38] <apokryphos> knucks: don't be overwhelmed by all the stuf. Most of it is just used as a reference, and many won't be applicable to you. Just the first few chapters will come in handy.
[09:38] <knucks> im reading the chmod one right now then
[09:38] <GammaRay> I notice that I don't have a /boot/grub/grub.conf file
[09:39] <apokryphos> knucks: it's worth reading man man for more info, when you have time. To exit it, hit q.
[09:40] <knucks> k
[09:40] <delltony> dang i found a place to change the mouse cursors on the forums before and i changed it to like ptux or something like that wish i could find that page again so i can could my cursors
[09:40] <knucks> ok so i must use the letters for read,write,mod stuff..
[09:40] <BiteMeBill> GammaRay: You can edit the menu.lst
[09:41] <apokryphos> knucks: not sure what you're referring to/mean here.
[09:41] <knucks> knucks@knucks:~/Music $ chmod -R 0777
[09:41] <knucks> chmod: too few arguments
[09:41] <henla464> Is someone here using Skype on Ubuntu? Is sound good?
[09:41] <apokryphos> knucks: That means your usage of it isn't complete or is incorrect.
[09:41] <knucks> yeah i figured
[09:42] <knucks> the example they have is "myfile"
[09:42] <knucks> but i want to edit the whole directory
[09:42] <tck> heres a quick question
[09:42] <apokryphos> knucks: check the usage on the man page... chmod [OPTION] ... MODE[,MODE] ... FILE...
[09:42] <tck> i haven't created a root user etc.., i.e. password etc.
[09:42] <tck> i have installed firestarter
[09:42] <apokryphos> knucks: since your'e already in the directory, you can just use "." as that represents the current directory that you are in.
[09:42] <tck> and to run it from the X drop down list, it demands the 'root' password
[09:42] <knucks> ah ok
[09:42] <tck> anyway around this
[09:42] <knucks> i think i got it tho..
[09:43] <knucks> chmod -R 0777 Music
[09:43] <apokryphos> knucks: so... chmod -R 777 .
[09:43] <GammaRay> BiteMeBill: I'm pretty new to grub. I'm reading the docs and I'm wondering what relationship the two files have. Especially if one does not exist.
[09:43] <knucks> thanks for the help man. ill make sure to use man pages
[09:43] <apokryphos> knucks: they come in handy :P. No problem.
[09:44] <knucks> what program do i get if i want to make partitions and stuff?
[09:44] <delltony> aww i found it nevermind
[09:44] <knucks> gpart something?
[09:44] <matteo_> Hi I'm installing Warty and the xserver-xfree86 it fetched after the reboot seems de hang... I can do Ctrl+C to get control, but it leavec the package unconfigured...
[09:44] <tck> knucks, fdisk
[09:44] <knucks> someone told me gparter or something
[09:44] <matteo_> has anyone had the same problem, or is it just that this configuration is *very* long ?
[09:44] <knucks> i want to take my ntfs partition, delete it, and make it a linux one
[09:45] <apokryphos> knucks: there's several partition managers. qparted is one, I think. Never used it. qtparted is another.
[09:45] <zenrox> gparted
[09:45] <knucks> whats a really good one i should get?
[09:45] <zenrox> is the gnome eq..
[09:45] <zenrox> qtparted for kde
[09:45] <apokryphos> knucks: whoops, yup, first part should have been gparted, as zenrox notes.
[09:45] <knucks> ill apt-get gparted then
[09:45] <zenrox> yep
[09:46] <tck> its not in the apt sources
[09:46] <apokryphos> zenrox: well, for qt :P. It's not technically kde.
[09:46] <zenrox> apt-get install gparted
[09:46] <zenrox> apokryphos, but thats what it was programed from
[09:46] <mrproper> Is there a way to do a network install of Ubuntu from a floppy?
[09:46] <apokryphos> zenrox: from kde? Erm, nope... just qt as far as I know.
[09:46] <zenrox> mrproper,  yes look on the wiki
[09:47] <zenrox> apokryphos, but kde is programed in qt
[09:47] <apokryphos> zenrox: it sure is. Doesn't mean that all qt programs are kde.
[09:47] <knucks> E: Couldn't find package gparted
[09:48] <zenrox> knucks,  have you enabled all the respotires
[09:48] <apokryphos> zenrox: that would be like saying that, well, oranges are apples because they're both fruits. :P
[09:48] <knucks> zenrox: yeah
[09:48] <zenrox> knucks, warty or hoary
[09:48] <jeff_> is there a trojan scanner or something for ubuntu
[09:48] <zenrox> ??
[09:48] <knucks> zenrox: i dont know..
[09:48] <knucks> thats not the first time someones asked me
[09:48] <zenrox> jeff_,  no why run one you dont need it
[09:48] <apokryphos> knucks: what does cat /etc/issue give?
[09:49] <BiteMeBill> I'
[09:49] <knucks> ahh
[09:49] <knucks> Warty
[09:49] <BiteMeBill> m not even finding it either.
[09:49] <Loiosh> There is a rootkit scanner, but I don't believe it's been prepared for Ubuntu
[09:49] <zenrox> warty = stable the one on cd hoary = develment and its unstable
[09:49] <knucks> yeh i got it off the cd
[09:49] <jeff_> because i think i may have downloaded a rootkit
[09:49] <knucks> its warty
[09:50] <jeff_> i downloaed limewire pro from a newsgroup
[09:50] <zenrox> knucks,  you'll probly have to get qtparted
[09:50] <zenrox> gparted is in hoary
[09:50] <knucks> ok
[09:50] <Loiosh> I've got a funky question. Is there a way to disable the SCSI probe when the new array-6 live CD boots? It keeps dying when it touches my IOMEGA scsi card (advansys)
[09:50] <Loiosh> And noscsi / scsi=no doesn't work. It still probes while loading the kernel (sad)
[09:52] <knucks> got qtparted
[09:52] <knucks> thanks
[09:52] <punkrockguy318> When I play an audio CD in my CD drive, i get really choppy playback.  Also, I'm only getting ~.5x ripping speed.  What could be the problem?
[09:52] <zenrox> knucks,  n/p
[09:57] <andrewski> punkrockguy318: hdparm
[09:58] <punkrockguy318> andrewski, what do I do with hdparm?
[09:58] <andrewski> punkrockguy318: read the manpage, apply settings at whim (or suitable for your hardware)
[09:59] <andrewski> punkrockguy318: i really don't know its ins and outs...
[09:59] <punkrockguy318> okay
[09:59] <punkrockguy318> i'll give it a try
[09:59] <punkrockguy318> are you confident that it will help?
[09:59] <bannana_feller> does anyone else have problems with getting dcgui-qt to work correctly?
[10:02] <fusibou> I tried array 6 LiveCD for kicks on my Thinkpad T23 (I'm a debian user). Very nice. Couldn't see any gui way to access my hard drive partitions though. Also suspend didn't work. Just some quick feedback.
[10:02] <Quest-Master> fusibou: There is gparted or QtParted
[10:02] <Loiosh> You mean access them for reading?
[10:02] <fusibou> Quest-Master i just mean to mount them
[10:02] <zenrox> Loiosh,  no
[10:02] <fusibou> the cdrom showed up on the desktop
[10:03] <zenrox> Loiosh,  jsut to repartion it
[10:03] <Quest-Master> fusibou: It is really easy to mount partitions through the command-line. :\
[10:03] <fusibou> Quest-Master as a debian user i know that :-)
[10:04] <Loiosh> LoL
[10:04] <Loiosh> Just pointing out a lack in the installer
[10:04] <Quest-Master> fusibou: I don't understand why a GUI frontend is needed then if you know how to
[10:04] <MyKq3> hi !! we have a  Israeli Ubuntu site !
[10:04] <Loiosh> The Warty LIVE cd would mount the HD partition, if I remember correctly (I may be lying)
[10:05] <Loiosh> Right now I'm trying to dead with array 6 hating my computer =)
[10:05] <Loiosh> It completely crashes when the kernel is starting.
[10:05] <fusibou> Quest-Master hey, jdub keeps barking about "just works" which i thought was supposed to be the ubuntu mantra.
[10:05] <Loiosh> deal
[10:05] <Loiosh> dead = deal, rather
[10:08] <davix> in americas army the mouse wont move the screen in the game play, in the menu it is responding well as well as the buttons in the gameplay, they all work good, but the mouse won't do the directional job it suppose to do, any ideas?
[10:08] <jeff_> well where is a link for a root kit scanner
[10:08] <jeff_> ?
[10:09] <_miracoolix_> hi
[10:09] <davix> what is a root kit scanner?
[10:10] <jeff_> i want to scan my computer to see if its been hacked
[10:10] <davix> oh, i want too :/
[10:11] <knucks> so does mplayer have a "controller"
[10:12] <Quest-Master> Controller?
[10:12] <knucks> like
[10:12] <knucks> one where i can press play, stop, pause
[10:13] <knucks> and change the position of a video
[10:13] <jeff_> you need to download gmplayer
[10:13] <Quest-Master> Err, yeah
[10:13] <Quest-Master> gmplayer
[10:13] <punkrockguy318> where is there a deb for gmplayer?
[10:13] <knucks> is that whatd ud recommend?
[10:13] <Quest-Master> There is an automatic compilation and installation script at http://www.ubuntuforums.org under HOWTOS and FAQS
[10:13] <knucks> i want to have something simple to play video files
[10:13] <knucks> and then ill use xine for dvds
[10:13] <Madeye> Hi, guys, is there any program to make a phone calls, and recieve phone calls through computer connected to my modem?
[10:14] <Quest-Master> punkrockguy318, knucks: I wouldn't apt-get for MPlayer.. the one in the repos. is broken, so compile
[10:14] <knucks> i like mplayer actually..but how do i get it to show the GUI?
[10:14] <davix> you cant apt-get mplayer...
[10:15] <davix> unless ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/index.html
[10:15] <knucks> I already have mplayer
[10:15] <knucks> davix yeh thats the one i got i think
[10:15] <wezzer> knucks: have you compiled it by yourself?
[10:15] <knucks> but how do i open the GUI
[10:15] <Quest-Master> gmplayer
[10:15] <davix> knucks, try console gmplayer
[10:15] <knucks> Im watching a video on it right now
[10:15] <Quest-Master> You have to install a skin though too, knucks
[10:15] <Quest-Master> Did you do that?
[10:15] <knucks> um no
[10:16] <Quest-Master> Yeah
[10:16] <knucks> im just looking at a plain window w/ video in it
[10:16] <Quest-Master> Go to UbuntuForums
[10:16] <Quest-Master> knucks: Well then.
[10:16] <Quest-Master> knucks: Open a console and type in sudo apt-get install gxine.
[10:16] <Quest-Master> It's good, easy to install, simple to use.
[10:16] <Quest-Master> Or, you can apt for VLC.
[10:16] <apokryphos> Quest-Master: what? You don't have to set a skin. It uses the default.
[10:16] <knucks> its different than xine?
[10:17] <apokryphos> knucks: it is. I imagine it's some extra gnome interface front-end for mplayer. Might be a different program entirely, but I doubt it.
[10:17] <apokryphos> knucks: if plain "mplayer" doesn't turn up the GUI, then gmplayer should as davix says.
[10:18] <knucks> unless theres something i gotta press to open a GUI?
[10:18] <knucks> like some key or something
[10:18] <OrangeSlice> compile mplayer with --enable-gui :p
[10:19] <apokryphos> knucks: Alt + F2 > gmplayer
[10:19] <knucks> OrangeSlice: dont know how to do that
[10:19] <apokryphos> compiling, why? It works fine from the repos.
[10:19] <OrangeSlice> compiling your own > binaries :p
[10:19] <knucks> apokryphos: nothing happens
[10:20] <apokryphos> Heh. I'm getting confused here. Cancel my earlier comments on "gnome" etc.
[10:20] <Loiosh> Hewwo, Echylo =)
[10:20] <alisson> Hello all! Please, I am needing a little newbie help! How can I change the PATH to point to a java bin directory too?
[10:20] <Echylo> hellow
[10:20] <knucks> ok i got gxine
[10:20] <apokryphos> knucks: one sec, I'm looking for a thread for you. You'll need to install a specific mlayer
[10:20] <knucks> i guess that will have to do
[10:20] <Echylo> can I say that limewire kinda rocks
[10:21] <Quest-Master> Echylo: Why not? :P
[10:21] <apokryphos> Echylo: it sure does :P
[10:21] <Echylo> because everyone is like "emule for president!"
[10:21] <Echylo> but I never got that quick so fast speeds
[10:21] <knucks> qtparted doesnt want to work for me
[10:22] <apokryphos> Echylo: yup, gnutella network has always been the best for me.
[10:22] <Quest-Master> QtParted is pretty buggy.. I don't like it much.
[10:22] <Echylo> lovelyt
[10:22] <Echylo> that & torrent
[10:22] <Echylo> rule
[10:22] <knucks> whats a good program for partitions then?
[10:22] <Echylo> for the moment
[10:22] <Echylo> gparted?
[10:22] <knucks> im on warty
[10:22] <apokryphos> Echylo: yup; and irc
[10:23] <Quest-Master> parted is nice fot the command line, or gparted which I believe has to be compiled.. search for it on Google, knucks
[10:23] <Quest-Master> *for
[10:23] <cocol> no gparted u can apt
[10:23] <Echylo> irc is for new stuff
[10:23] <Echylo> and sometimes risk for errors
[10:24] <Echylo> if it gets disconnected
[10:24] <apokryphos> cocol: even in warty?
[10:24] <Quest-Master> cocol: I stand corrected then.
[10:24] <afv-13> can someone please tell me what software is included on the livecd?
[10:24] <afv-13> (the windows stuff)
[10:24] <apokryphos> Echylo: irc is for speeedy downloads
[10:24] <cocol> i dunno...i am in hoary
[10:24] <Echylo> torrent too ;)
[10:24] <Quest-Master> While I was upgrading to Hoary
[10:24] <Quest-Master> I got this error
[10:24] <Quest-Master> Preparing to replace mozilla-firefox 0.99+1.0PR.1+revertedto0.9.3-0ubuntu3 (using .../mozilla-firefox_1.0+dfsg.1-6ubuntu1_i386.deb) ...

[10:24] <Quest-Master> Is that bad? :\
[10:24] <knucks> http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=115843
[10:24] <apokryphos> Echylo: Sure. Never quite reached the consistent speeds with torrents though.
[10:24] <knucks> which one should i get?
[10:25] <Echylo> I did ;)
[10:25] <Echylo> I reached my max speed here
[10:25] <Echylo> 400 kb/s
[10:25] <Echylo> on torrents
[10:25] <apokryphos> Echylo: consistently?
[10:25] <Echylo> ?
[10:25] <Echylo> yes
[10:25] <Echylo> from 3 seconds
[10:25] <Echylo> to the eend
[10:25] <apokryphos> torrents seem to fluctuate, but more so seem to take quite some time to get up to that speed.
[10:25] <knucks> i got this one: libparted1.6-12_1.6.20-0.exp.1_i386.deb
[10:25] <knucks> what do i do with it now
[10:26] <Echylo> no
[10:26] <Echylo> well
[10:26] <Echylo> I down top 10 seeded torrents
[10:26] <apokryphos> Echylo: for all your downloads? Just what tracker are you using?
[10:26] <Echylo> from www.filemp3.org
[10:26] <apokryphos> Echylo: oh. I've been talking about films here :P
[10:26] <Echylo> ow :)
[10:26] <Echylo> well I only download music
[10:26] <Echylo> I hire movies
[10:26] <apokryphos> hassle ;-)
[10:26] <apokryphos> irc you can download films in 25 mins
[10:26] <knucks> hellpp
[10:26] <apokryphos> (well, I can. People with faster speeds -> less time)
[10:27] <knucks> what do i do with this
[10:27] <knucks> ibparted1.6-12_1.6.20-0.exp.1_i386.deb
[10:27] <knucks> er
[10:27] <Quest-Master> I have a Linksys router and VoIP Vonage Motorola modem, so my torrent speeds aren't as close as they could be (I am on 3mbps broadband too.. what a shame) :(
[10:27] <knucks> libparted1.6-12_1.6.20-0.exp.1_i386.deb
[10:27] <alisson> Hi all! Please, I am needing a little newbie help! How can I change the PATH to point to a java bin directory too?
[10:27] <Quest-Master> alisson: http://www.ubuntuguide.org/ <-- check out the setting up Java section
[10:28] <mchasard> hi
[10:28] <vincent_> hi
[10:28] <alisson> Quest-Master, ok, heheheheh!! a Quest-Master!!
[10:28] <Quest-Master> :P
[10:28] <mchasard> i just want to test kubuntu ... but it doesnt work for me as livecd ...
[10:28] <Loiosh> Any idea on my advansys live CD issue?
[10:29] <Loiosh> The Array-6 CD just dies after uncompressing the kernel
[10:29] <apokryphos> mchasard: mention your problem in #kubuntu; to let them know.
[10:29] <mchasard> yes its right ...
[10:29] <knucks> Anyone?
[10:29] <alisson> Quest-Master, sorry for incovenience.....i didn't know that ubuntu site have FAQs..
[10:29] <knucks> I found gparted releases
[10:29] <knucks> but i dont know what to do with them
[10:29] <knucks> http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=115843
[10:29] <mchasard> ok ...i will mention ... ok thanks ...
[10:29] <vincent_> how do you configure the GRUB?
[10:29] <Quest-Master> alisson: No problem. I hope it helps you. :)
[10:31] <WillCooke> anyone know about ndiswrapper?
[10:31] <alisson> Quest-Master, it will! ;)
[10:31] <knucks> ANYONE?
[10:31] <Quest-Master> WillCooke: What do you need?
[10:31] <VincentMX> knucks wha ts the problem=
[10:31] <knucks> http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=115843
[10:31] <knucks> gparted releases
[10:31] <knucks> which one do i download and what do i do with it
[10:32] <WillCooke> Quest-Master, I've just installed Warty on the mrs' computer, but it's got a linksys wireless nic in it, which requires ndiswrapper.....
[10:32] <Quest-Master> WillCooke: Is there any other way to conenct to the internet from that computer?
[10:32] <WillCooke> Quest-Master, Nope!
[10:32] <VincentMX> knucks you have pentium?
[10:32] <WillCooke> Quest-Master, Does the kernel source come on the warty install cd?
[10:32] <knucks> yes
[10:32] <Quest-Master> WillCooke: Dunno
[10:33] <VincentMX> the .deb file
[10:33] <VincentMX> if it don't work, try the source
[10:33] <knucks> latest one?
[10:33] <Quest-Master> WillCooke: To sum it up though, you basically need to compile ndiswrapper, get the .inf file for her Linksys Wireless from the install CD, load it through ndis, and it should work
[10:33] <VincentMX> yes
[10:33] <knucks> ok then what?
[10:33] <apokryphos> knucks: you'll want to use the dpkg command once you've got it
[10:33] <knucks> i downloaded a .deb file
[10:33] <knucks> ok.
[10:34] <knucks> hold
[10:34] <VincentMX> if it does not work, download the source and compile it
[10:34] <WillCooke> Quest-Master, OK.  1st problem get the kernel source on it, then I'll be back! ;)
[10:34] <Quest-Master> :)
[10:34] <VincentMX> knucks now nupack
[10:34] <VincentMX> knucks now unpack
[10:34] <knucks> what do i add to dpkg?
[10:34] <knucks> whats the whole command
[10:34] <Quest-Master> dpkg -i
[10:35] <VincentMX> don't know
[10:35] <apokryphos> knucks: man page :P
[10:35] <VincentMX> how do you configure the GRUB?
[10:35] <knucks> dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of gparted:
[10:35] <R0bNyc> when are we getting gnome 2.9.22 or 2.10
[10:36] <knucks>  gparted depends on libglibmm-2.4-1; however:
[10:36] <knucks>   Package libglibmm-2.4-1 is not installed.
[10:36] <tck> R0bNyc, when its officially released
[10:36] <apokryphos> knucks: I'm sure you can infer what you have to do now.
[10:36] <tck> i think the hoary preview comes out on the same day as the gnome 2.10
[10:36] <knucks> i tried apt-get install that pacage
[10:36] <knucks> bug:
[10:36] <knucks> but*
[10:36] <R0bNyc> tck, isn't Hoary suppose to be the bleeding edge ubuntu?
[10:36] <apokryphos> knucks: do you have a fast connection?
[10:36] <tck> it is
[10:37] <bzbb> grmph
[10:37] <knucks> You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
[10:37] <knucks> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[10:37] <knucks>   gparted: Depends: libgtkmm-2.4-1 but it is not going to be installed

[10:37] <knucks> E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
[10:37] <knucks> Yeah
[10:37] <Quest-Master> knucks: Run apt-get -f install
[10:37] <apokryphos> knucks: please don't flood the channel
[10:37] <tck> it cant have the latest gnome unless gnome release it
[10:37] <knucks> sorry
[10:37] <bzbb> hoary can be fun
[10:37] <apokryphos> knucks: if you have a fast connection, it's worth upgrading to hoary.
[10:37] <bzbb> it can also be really annoying
[10:38] <knucks> ok did apt-get -f install
[10:38] <knucks> let me try dpkg again
[10:38] <Quest-Master> Does Project Utopia work perfectly in the current Hoary?
[10:38] <cocol> hown i check the version on commandline of gnome?
[10:38] <alisson> Quest-Master, sorry for asking again, but I find a topic how to installing java, but the export is used in the bash. Next time that I reboot I will lost the command.
[10:38] <apokryphos> bzbb: hoary...annoying? Never! :P
[10:38] <bzbb> fox example, I just upgraded, and it decided i'm only good fro 1024/768
[10:39] <apokryphos> alisson: you can specify it in your ~/.bashrc file.
[10:39] <Quest-Master> alisson: Are you sure? :\ The commands I used on those pages have worked fine for me for months now
[10:39] <MrKeuner> hi, how is it possible to add a new language at the gdm menu?
[10:39] <knucks> ugh its not working
[10:40] <knucks> its just telling me that now im missing libparted1.6-12
[10:40] <knucks> and itry getting that and its not available
[10:40] <alisson> Quest-Master, I come from slack, and there, that I remember, was in that way.....
[10:41] <MrKeuner> or how can I change operating system language from english to german?
[10:41] <alisson> Quest-Master, I don't know if in debian the command export is different.
[10:41] <Loiosh> alisson: When you place it in bash.rc each time a user logs into a BASH shell, the PATH is set.
[10:42] <alisson> Loiosh, don't is better then put in .profile, then whanever i log in, the PATH is set?
[10:42] <alisson> Loiosh, *isn't
[10:42] <Loiosh> I put it in the profile file myself.
[10:43] <bzbb> hmph
[10:43] <bzbb> when I try to add a modeline with xorgcfg, it brings up a dialog box with the text "label" and the options yes or no
[10:43] <bzbb> neither one does anything
[10:44] <alisson> Loiosh, ok, I will do it then. The problem is when a admnistrator have a lot of users already set.
[10:44] <MrKeuner> or how can I add a new session language in gdm?
[10:44] <knucks> ok gparted isnt working
[10:44] <Loiosh> Yeah, Ubuntu's instructions normally don't take into account multiple users =)
[10:44] <knucks> i found libparted in synaptic..
[10:48] <knucks> so can someone help me with a partition program?
[10:48] <knucks> i dont care which, i just want one thats easy to use and install
[10:48] <linuxn00b> qtarted..I think thats what it's called
[10:49] <linuxn00b> oops qtparted
[10:49] <knucks> i think i tried that one and it didnt work..let me try again
[10:49] <Quest-Master> Ack
[10:49] <drspin> hey all
[10:49] <linuxn00b> hey drspin :)
[10:49] <Quest-Master> How to I manually change my resolution?
[10:49] <Quest-Master> And the hertz my monitor is running at?
[10:50] <knucks> i get this error trying to launch it:
[10:50] <Quest-Master> After upgrading to Hoary
[10:50] <drspin> Quest-Master: warty or hoary?
[10:50] <Quest-Master> I'm stuck in 800x600
[10:50] <Quest-Master> And 53hz
[10:50] <Quest-Master> Really ugly
[10:50] <Quest-Master> :(
[10:50] <Kly> www.otomotivshow.com
[10:50] <knucks> "Details: Failed to execute child process "/usr/sbin/su-to-root/"
[10:50] <Quest-Master> How do I fix it?
[10:50] <linuxn00b> Quest-Master, you can change it in your xfree86 config file
[10:50] <drspin> Quest-Master: I would copy the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:50] <Quest-Master> Ok
[10:50] <drspin> It's rough but it worked for me...
[10:51] <drspin> linuxn00b: Hoary uses xorg rather than Xfree
[10:51] <linuxn00b> I just wanna sya that synergy is the coolest program I have found in a while :D
[10:51] <drspin> what's a good linux VPN server?
[10:51] <linuxn00b> drspin, I know I thougth he was uing warty :D
[10:51] <drspin> ... free VPN server
[10:52] <LinuxJones> linuxn00b, it's pretty cool :)
[10:52] <drspin> linuxn00b: K
[10:52] <tck> knucks, try cfdisk
[10:52] <knucks> apt-get it?
[10:52] <tck> its a cusrse based partitioner
[10:52] <Quest-Master> Ok
[10:52] <Quest-Master> drspin, should I restart GNOME now?
[10:52] <cwill1> I'm having crashy hangy problems
[10:52] <linuxn00b> anyone know what version of synergy is in hoary?
[10:53] <drspin> Quest-Master: restart x [ctrl + alt + backspace]
[10:53] <drspin> cwill1: what does dmesg|tail say?
[10:53] <LinuxJones> linuxn00b, 1.0.14-1
[10:53] <cwill1> not sure... waiting for the thing to come up again
[10:53] <knucks> cfdisk wont start up
[10:53] <cwill1> or was that not a typo :p
[10:54] <cwill1> no, I just can't spell my own name
[10:54] <tck> knucks, what u mean
[10:54] <linuxn00b> LinuxJones, why soo old?? warty uses the smae one :S
[10:54] <tck> try it as root
[10:54] <tck> sudo cfdisk
[10:54] <knucks> command not found
[10:54] <LinuxJones> linuxn00b, nobody updated it
[10:54] <knucks> and i just installed it using synaptic
[10:54] <tck> knucks, thats strange it should be there, what are you running ?
[10:54] <Chipzz> knucks: sudo /usr/sbin/cfdisk
[10:55] <linuxn00b> LinuxJones, is it easy to make a deb from source..I have never done it before haha
[10:55] <knucks> sudo: /usr/sbin/cfdisk: command not found
[10:55] <drspin> what does APIC error on CPU0 mean?
[10:55] <Chipzz> hmm weird
[10:55] <BiteMeBill> doesn't cfdisk also need to know what device you want to open with it?
[10:55] <LinuxJones> linuxn00b, I haven't either but I don't think it's too difficult
[10:56] <linuxn00b> humm, ok i'll look around and see if I can make one :D
[10:56] <LinuxJones> linuxn00b, it's a good project for you :D
[10:56] <knucks> ugh this is so frustrating
[10:56] <knucks> gparted wont work
[10:56] <Chipzz> BiteMeBill: the error he's getting is an error from the shell, not cfdisk
[10:56] <knucks> qtparted wont work
[10:56] <Chipzz> so that's unrelated
[10:57] <LinuxJones> knucks, just use cfdisk
[10:57] <knucks> cfdisk doesnt work!

[10:58] <sabdfl> greetings ubuntites!
[10:58] <knucks> i just tried:
[10:58] <BiteMeBill>  could try sudo sbin/cfdisk
[10:58] <knucks> sudo cfdisk
[10:58] <knucks> and i get:
[10:58] <linuxn00b> LinuxJones, oh yea :D
[10:59] <knucks> FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive!
[10:59] <LinuxJones> knucks, sudo -s to open an admin console then type cfdisk
[10:59] <knucks> FATAL ERROR thing
[10:59] <R0bNyc> What iso burning app can I use on ubuntu?
[10:59] <knucks> GnomeBaker ^
[11:00] <apokryphos> R0bNyc: or k3b. :P
[11:00] <R0bNyc> thanks let me aptitude install it
[11:00] <drspin> or nautilus will burn an ISO right from the browser -- right click on the ISO -- the extension has to be lower-case in Warty, not sure if it's fixed in Hoary or not
[11:01] <lunitik> R0bNyc: graveman is probably the best burning app in the archive...
[11:01] <lunitik> apokryphos: no one uses k3b... gnomebaker has a simular interface though...
[11:02] <knucks> i really want to get this partiton thing working :(
[11:02] <knucks> wtf
[11:02] <drspin> I use k3b currently but I hate it...
[11:02] <apokryphos> lunitik: odd statement. I use it. Others do too.
[11:02] <lunitik> apokryphos: well, no intelligent gnome user  :/
[11:02] <Loiosh> graveman / gnomebaker? =)
[11:02] <apokryphos> I use it and love it
[11:02] <apokryphos> lunitik: Er... why?
[11:02] <Loiosh> Debate for my amusement =)
[11:02] <Loiosh> Hehe
[11:02] <lunitik> apokryphos: takes like 5 mins to load the kde libs
[11:03] <apokryphos> lunitik: Don't presuppose that everyone's computer takes the same time to load things.
[11:03] <apokryphos> lunitik: seems reasonably speedy for me in Gnome, when I actually venture into there.
[11:03] <lunitik> apokryphos: either way, it takes about 10 times longer than using a gnome/gtk app
[11:03] <apokryphos> lunitik: never as fast as in kde though, naturally.
[11:03] <apokryphos> lunitik: Well, your point is a little ruined by the exaggeration.
[11:04] <Sav> What is Knubuntu?
[11:04] <lunitik> Sav: Kubuntu... KDE based Ubuntu
[11:04] <Loiosh> KDE Ubuntu
[11:04] <Sav> ok
[11:04] <sabdfl> Sav: it's the nutella theme of the Kubuntu distro
[11:04] <cwill1> synaptic is having troubles, although it might be more general
[11:05] <knucks> ok i launched qtparted
[11:05] <knucks> and it told me no device detected
[11:05] <knucks> what is up with that?
[11:05] <drspin> why does my processor usage on my dual processor machine never really rise much higher than 50%???
[11:05] <BiteMeBill> knucks: what are you trying to partition?
[11:05] <zenrox> knucks,  put a sudo infrount of it
[11:05] <cwill1> drspin... are you using more than one major program at a time?
[11:06] <knucks> BiteMeBill: i want to delete my ntfs partition and make a linux one
[11:06] <ch1> hello...i have a question...anybody know what the problem could be if my computer shuts down out of nowhere...and doesnt start back up....
[11:06] <drspin> cwill1: ... sometimes...
[11:06] <BiteMeBill> sudo fdisk /dev/hda doesn't work?
[11:06] <drspin> ch1: power supply
[11:06] <knucks> um
[11:06] <Loiosh> Heh, that was quick
[11:06] <lunitik> sabdfl: aren't you Mark Shuttleworth?  *blush*
[11:06] <MrKeuner> is it possible to have ubuntu in another language?
[11:06] <drspin> ch1: maybe just a bad power cable...
[11:07] <lunitik> MrKeuner: yes... dpkg-reconfigure locales
[11:07] <ch1> i tried two power cables...
[11:07] <knucks> how do i view all my partitions in consel?
[11:07] <drspin> Quest-Master: any luck?
[11:07] <ch1> so power supply huh...ok...i'll try that out...
[11:07] <lunitik> knucks: fdisk -l
[11:07] <lunitik> knucks: uhh... sudo that though
[11:07] <ch1> so its not the mobo at all..?
[11:07] <drspin> knucks ls /dev/hda*
[11:07] <njs12345> anyone know why I get this error when trying to install the fglrx drivers:
[11:08] <drspin> ch1: could be -- I was just starting at the more obvious places...
[11:08] <knucks> i want to get rid of it
[11:08] <MrKeuner> lunitik/ I'd like to change the language for just one user if I can. When she logs in from gdm she should see gnome in another language
[11:08] <knucks> ok /dev/hdc5 is my ntfs
[11:08] <ch1> hopefully its the power supply...alot cheaper than the rest...=P
[11:08] <njs12345> trying to overwrite '/usr/X11R6/bin/fgl_glxgears', which is also in package fglrx-6-8-0
[11:08] <drspin> ch1: indeed
[11:08] <Loiosh> LoL
[11:08] <qosmof> hi :)
[11:08] <ch1> thanks guys....
[11:08] <lunitik> MrKeuner: Don't know how to do that, sorry
[11:09] <drspin> I have two systems running Ubuntu :) :)
[11:09] <drspin> I'm about to convert my laptop as well :D
[11:09] <njs12345> then it says "dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
[11:09] <Loiosh> My computer absolutely hates it =)
[11:09] <njs12345> I have two as well
[11:09] <MrKeuner> lunitik/ ok thanks anyway
[11:09] <knucks> so how do i fdisk my /dev/hdc5 partition?
[11:09] <ch1> yeah..im on my laptop runnin ubuntu rite now...
[11:09] <ch1> its great..
[11:09] <njs12345> and four have run linux at some point or another
[11:09] <Loiosh> I cannot even get the live CD to work.
[11:10] <LinuxJones> knucks, fdisk /dev/hdc
[11:10] <javaJake> Are there ops here? I HATE swearing.
[11:10] <drspin> Loiosh: indeed -- although it was a GREAT learning experience -- all 3 times I had to start over because the system clock wasn't set right
[11:10] <njs12345> qosmof: http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats
[11:10] <njs12345> or some variation of that
[11:10] <javaJake> Anyway, taht's off the subject, I've got a q:
[11:10] <Loiosh> Start over, seriously?
[11:10] <Loiosh> rdate -s
[11:11] <qosmof> njan, thanks so much
[11:11] <njs12345> qosmof: np
[11:11] <qosmof> njs12,
[11:11] <njs12345> mp3 support can't be shipped because it has patent problems
[11:11] <saBrEwolf> hey people, I was wondering if you could help me.. I have a Nvidia graphics card [GeForce N 128MB AGPx8] , but it doesn't seem to be supported by the drivers that are in universe of warty, is there any way of getting the latest drivers in deb?
[11:11] <lunitik> njs12345: no one is inforcing it though, which makes it somewhat more annoying...
[11:11] <knucks> what does mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdc5 do?
[11:12] <lunitik> njs12345: imo, if Debian can ship something, everyone should feel safe to do the same...
[11:12] <javaJake> If I install Ubuntu over redhat v8, will I keep my current Windows and RedHat partitions?
[11:12] <lunitik> knucks: formats the partition
[11:12] <knucks> k thanks
[11:12] <Loiosh> I don't know if this is supported, Sabre, but you could always get the nvidia drivers from their website.
[11:12] <BiteMeBill> formats hdc5 to ext3 format
[11:12] <Loiosh> They're binary -only-
[11:12] <knucks> ext3 - liunux right?
[11:12] <BiteMeBill> yes
[11:12] <ompaul> javaJake, if you want to
[11:12] <javaJake> :-)
[11:12] <javaJake> sorry, couldn't resist.
[11:12] <javaJake> ok, tahks
[11:13] <lunitik> Loiosh: its in the archive... wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:13] <javaJake> so redhat will be gone, BUT NOT WINDOWS, right?
[11:13] <qosmof> njs12345, off the suject?
[11:13] <knucks> ok formatting
[11:13] <njs12345> lunitik: I haven't researched the matter, I'm just saying what I've heard =)
[11:13] <soren9580> is there any way to automatically transfer a file based upon its modification date/time?
[11:13] <tck> saBrEwolf, join #nvidia for linux/nvidia gfx card help
[11:13] <saBrEwolf> ok, thanks for pointing in the right direction :)
[11:13] <njs12345> anybody know anything about my Q?
[11:13] <rcliii> javajake: there's an option in the installer to partition manually -- that's what you want
[11:13] <njs12345> I'll probably end up just reinstalling..
[11:13] <Loiosh> That's cool
[11:13] <ompaul> javaJake, as long as you do it the way you have it done now - so print out your existing /etc/fstab and use it to create your "new ubuntu" partitions
[11:13] <lunitik> njs12345: didn't see your question... what was it?
[11:14] <rcliii> javajake: you can force it to leave the windows partition alone, but format the redhat partitions
[11:14] <javaJake> ok, that's what I want.
[11:14] <cwill1> laptop.  synaptic.   don't get along.  suggestion?  :p
[11:14] <njs12345> when trying to install ATi drivers: trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/bin/fgl_glxgears`, which is also in package fglrx-6-8-0
[11:14] <javaJake> how do I do that?
[11:14] <ompaul> javaJake, was the RH stuff done by hand or automagically?
[11:14] <Loiosh> automagically, LoL
[11:14] <njs12345> dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
[11:14] <VladDrac> cwil what's your problem?
[11:14] <javaJake> (I've trashed Windows trying to install linux, don't want to do it again.)
[11:14] <knucks> ok now what?
[11:15] <cwill1> trying to do an update all
[11:15] <javaJake> Done by hand
[11:15] <knucks> it still says that the hdc5 is ntfs
[11:15] <Echylo> I say it again
[11:15] <cwill1> I was getting hangs during the downloads, although they eventually finished
[11:15] <Echylo> http://www.musicplasma.com && LimeWire rock!
[11:15] <sabdfl> lunitik: yup
[11:15] <ompaul> javaJake, well print out /etc/fstab and if you break it you break it
[11:15] <cwill1> but the config locks up
[11:15] <sabdfl> greetings
[11:15] <sabdfl> earthling :-
[11:15] <sabdfl> )
[11:15] <lunitik> njs12345: dpkg --force-overwrite -i thepackage   (may need to apt-get -d install thepackage if you're getting it from online)
[11:15] <njs12345> if the worst comes to the worst I could always just install the fglrx drivers from source.. but that's kinda crappy because then I have to update them myself =)
[11:15] <njs12345> lunitik: woot! thanks
[11:15] <javaJake> *sigh*
[11:15] <javaJake> I really dont want to have any more "accidents".
[11:15] <lunitik> sabdfl: cool... thanks a lot for your efforts, much appreciated  :)
[11:15] <rcliii> javajake: just select manual partitioning in the install (the automatic partitioner defaults to using the whole disk)
[11:16] <javaJake> ok
[11:16] <rcliii> javajake: once you're in the manual partitioning section it will leave windows alone by default
[11:16] <javaJake> I'll have to do it with a computer expert.
[11:16] <ompaul> javaJake, it should work as long as you do not do it wrong, and if you do it carefully you will not have accidents - rush in and break it all
[11:16] <lunitik> sabdfl: psst, you should talk to calc if you want a good KDE maintainer... maintained KDE for Debian on his own for a while  ;)
[11:16] <knucks> what do i do now with my ntfs partition ?
[11:16] <soren9580> does anyone have an answer to my question?
[11:16] <rcliii> javajake: in fact, you have to specifically tell it to format any partitions, and it will warn you that you're going to trash the data on those partitions
[11:16] <njs12345> ta lunitik :)
[11:16] <sabdfl> lunitik: ok, thanks, i know Riddell and haggai and amu would appreciate any help
[11:16] <lunitik> njs12345: yw
[11:16] <cwillu> ahh... much better
[11:17] <javaJake> rcliii: ok
[11:17] <cwillu> (the name at least)
[11:17] <LinuxJones> soren9580, for like a backup ?
[11:17] <soren9580> yea
[11:17] <javaJake> ompaul: well, i tried, but I trashed Windows. (I had no idea what hda1 meant at the time. :)
[11:17] <soren9580> well, i'm downloading files
[11:17] <Loiosh> Haha Jake =)
[11:17] <lunitik> sabdfl: he deserves it, good guy  :)
[11:17] <njs12345> anyone seen xchat-gnome debs?
[11:17] <soren9580> and i dont want them to be copied until they are finished downloading
[11:17] <knucks> please can someone help me with my ntfs partition?
[11:18] <ompaul> javaJake, so do you know what it is now?
[11:18] <lunitik> njs12345: XChat is gnome based... same thing
[11:18] <soren9580> once they are finished, i want to automatically move them to a folder where they will automatically rsync with my computer
[11:18] <soren9580> i've got the rsync down
[11:18] <javaJake> ompaul: yea.... it's the largest partition.
[11:18] <njs12345> lunitik: http://xchat-gnome.navi.cx/
[11:18] <njs12345> :)
[11:18] <soren9580> but i can't figure out how to move them based upon date modified
[11:18] <LinuxJones> soren9580, you might want to look @ rsync it updates only the parts of the file that changed.
[11:18] <ompaul> javaJake, look it is this easy/hard - print out /etc/fstab from dead rat and you will have the partition table as it is now - that tells you what is what
[11:18] <soren9580> yea, the --update flag
[11:18] <javaJake> ompaul & rcliii: ok, so manual partition, delete redhat, install in that partiton. Got it.
[11:19] <LinuxJones> soren9580, rsync won't do it for you ?
[11:19] <soren9580> i already use that so i don't transfer files twice
[11:19] <soren9580> nope, if its got half a file
[11:19] <soren9580> its gonna transfer that half of a file
[11:19] <LinuxJones> soren9580, ohh I see
[11:19] <soren9580> and there's no way to stop it from transferring locked files
[11:19] <javaJake> ompaul: I have no clue HOW to print out /etc etc.
[11:19] <lunitik> njs12345: oh... uhh... ouch
[11:19] <ompaul> javaJake, have you a printer attached to the linux machine?
[11:19] <lunitik> njs12345: looks ugly!
[11:19] <javaJake> no.
[11:20] <javaJake> (sadly enough)
[11:20] <LinuxJones> soren9580, you should be able to do it using a bash script but how do you determine if the download is finished ?
[11:20] <njs12345> I think it looks quite good personally :)
[11:20] <ompaul> can you see one from the windows machine?
[11:20] <larsson_> Hi again. The package dcgui-qt seems to be broken in hoary. Any comment? Will it be fixed?
[11:20] <ompaul> javaJake, actually forget that do the following and write it out on paper
[11:20] <larsson_> It works fine the first time, but during the second startup it either crashes or looks funny.
[11:20] <soren9580> based upon when it was last modified
[11:20] <lunitik> njs12345: I like the current look... that just looks cluttered
[11:20] <ompaul> javaJake, cat /etc/fstab
[11:20] <soren9580> if it was last modified 10 minutes prior to the running of the script
[11:20] <LinuxJones> soren9580, if you had md5sum of the files you could run a bash script every few minutes and only have the files transfer if the md5sum is correct
[11:21] <javaJake> cat /etc/fstab ok
[11:21] <soren9580> i was thinking that too
[11:21] <soren9580> and the torrents should have it
[11:21] <ompaul> javaJake, that is how hard it is to read the existing partiation table so you can use the partitions the same
[11:21] <soren9580> let me check if i can use the bittorrent software to check the md5
[11:21] <LinuxJones> soren9580, yes they should :)
[11:21] <GammaRay> would someone tell me why the idiot who wrote the grub manual could not refrain from saying "That was easy, admit it." in the actual manual?
[11:21] <lunitik> njs12345: current XChat, you can have it so that all that shows is the input field, any tabs, and the chat area, everything else can be hidden... looks simple and nice
[11:21] <javaJake> ompaul: thanks! thanks for your patience while dealing with a dummy.
[11:22] <ompaul> javaJake, I'm saying nothing
[11:22] <soren9580> its just a question of can i get it?
[11:22] <javaJake> ompaul: great. Now you made me feel REALLY dumb. :-)
[11:22] <Loiosh> Awww
[11:22] <Loiosh> Don't worry Jake
[11:22] <cwillu> is this going to work?
[11:23] <cwillu> <--crosses fingers
[11:23] <Loiosh> I cannot even run it, you're far ahead of me, hehe
[11:23] <larsson_> Anyone using dcgui-qt here? From APT?
[11:23] <cwillu> heh
[11:23] <cwillu> synaptic just... disappeared
[11:23] <ompaul> javaJake, you may have skills out side of the area of linux I do not know, frankly install ubuntu get rid of windows and increase the mind share :)
[11:23] <lunitik> larsson_: most people in here don't use any qt or kde apps.
[11:24] <javaJake> ompaul: Windows is the main OS for me.
[11:24] <lunitik> javaJake: sell out  :P
[11:24] <Loiosh> Anyone want to take s stab at my Ubuntu LiveCD / installing problem
[11:24] <Loiosh> Hahaha
[11:24] <cwillu> work work work
[11:24] <Riddell> lunitik: apart from all the k3b users :)
[11:24] <soren9580> it doesn't seem like there's a way to get it out of the torrent file
[11:24] <cwillu> anyone know why synaptic would just disappear?
[11:24] <Loiosh> Oh, so are you
[11:24] <Loiosh> LoL
[11:24] <ompaul> javaJake,  if you write out that stuff I told you about you will be fine in the installer and feel empowered - something windows does not do for people as far as I know ;-)
[11:24] <soren9580> without seriously modifying btdownloadcurses
[11:24] <blizah> anything in linux/ubuntu play wmv files?
[11:24] <Neil3> blizah, yep
[11:25] <Neil3> the win32 codecs
[11:25] <knucks> ok how do i format my ntfs partition
[11:25] <Neil3> with your media player of choice
[11:25] <Neil3> mplayer or xine
[11:25] <javaJake> Windows is the only one that can support my games, my favourtie text editor, should I continue?
[11:25] <lunitik> Riddell: gah... GNOME users shouldn't use KDE apps... loading kinit just to burn a CD is moronic.
[11:25] <javaJake> Well, gotta go.
[11:25] <Loiosh> No =) You shouldn't hehe
[11:25] <Loiosh> Then you'll get advice on how to fix that, LoL
[11:25] <ompaul> javaJake, /quit while your ahead :)
[11:25] <Loiosh> So, anyone want to take a look at my Ubuntu issue? =)
[11:26] <knucks> i know you guys know how to fdisk
[11:26] <javaJake> GAG! IM NOT TYPINGF RIGT STOP FUSHING EM!
[11:26] <lunitik> Riddell: I've never been a fan of mixing the environments, enless your xsession loads both... most won't do that though.
[11:26] <ompaul> Loiosh, what is it?
[11:27] <blizah> does ubuntu come with mplayer or xine?
[11:27] <Loiosh> Well, we'll start with the CD. When it starts the kernel, it crashes on "Bringing up SCSI" noscsi scsi=no ACPI=no, etc, doesn't help, sadly. This is the array 6 cd.
[11:27] <cwillu> hmm... killing postfix seems to have done something
[11:27] <njs12345> blizah: I believe it comes with a stripped-down xine
[11:27] <njs12345> but you can get mplayer
[11:27] <blizah> just go download it?
[11:27] <Loiosh> The Ubuntu warty install cd crashes when probing my advansys (IOMEGA jaz jet PCI scsi) card.
[11:27] <njs12345> nah
[11:27] <Loiosh> The system just.. halts.
[11:27] <knucks> HELP
[11:27] <njs12345> add a repositiory
[11:27] <lunitik> Riddell: plus, using KDE apps with GNOME gives the same issues I dislike about Kubuntu right now not using gtk2-engines-gtk-qt by default...
[11:28] <ompaul> knucks, fdisk -l /dev/hd(a/b/c/d) discover your ntfs then fdisk /dev/hdxn where x is the letter for the drive and n the number of that  partition
[11:28] <knucks> How do I format my NTFS partition
[11:28] <blizah> i do tht in synaptic right jks12345?
[11:28] <lunitik> knucks: you don't from Linux.
[11:28] <knucks> how then
[11:28] <cwillu> knucks, look for bootitng
[11:28] <Loiosh> So, that's my issue, hehe.
[11:28] <Loiosh> The old (warty) live CD worked fine with noscsi
[11:28] <ompaul> knucks do you want to release that space to ubnuntu?
[11:28] <lunitik> knucks: set the partition aside, and let windows installer do it
[11:28] <cwillu> boot disk with a gui to do partition work, fairly straightforward, just don't it "install to harddrive" when it starts up
[11:29] <knucks> ompaul: yeah
[11:29] <ompaul> knucks then follow the advice I just gave out
[11:29] <cwillu> can somebody tell me why synpatic closes while installing?
[11:29] <lunitik> knucks: ahh... then it doesn't matter what file system it is now... just mkfs.ext3 /dev/whateveritis
[11:29] <ompaul> Loiosh, I would suggest in that case to try hoary arry 5
[11:29] <ompaul> array even
[11:30] <knucks> sudo fdisk /dev/hdc5
[11:30] <knucks> right?
[11:30] <Loiosh> That installer doesn't pop the kernel SCSI does it?
[11:30] <ompaul> knucks, that looks okay
[11:30] <lunitik> ompaul: any reason you don't recommend daily's?  (genuine question... seems better to start from a more up to date point..)
[11:30] <cwillu> lunitik: they may well be broekn
[11:30] <soren9580> okay
[11:30] <cwillu> broken
[11:30] <knucks> i opened: COmman (m for help):
[11:30] <ompaul> lunitik, yeah on a day to day level you could get a really bad one
[11:31] <GammaRay> why does menu.lst say root (hd0,0) when my my root is /dev/hdd and I have a /dev/hda as well?
[11:31] <lunitik> cwillu: thats why you check the report.html file
[11:31] <ompaul> lunitik, following that you should be a developer not a new user for that level of exposure of possible frustration
[11:31] <lunitik> ompaul: ^^
[11:31] <Loiosh> Hehehe
[11:31] <Loiosh> I tried the daily =)
[11:31] <drspin> why can't I find gmaplyer in synaptic?
[11:31] <knucks> mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdc5 now..
[11:31] <knucks> writing inode tables..
[11:32] <GammaRay> should it not be (hd1,0)?
[11:32] <ompaul> cause it is gmplayer
[11:32] <Loiosh> The problem isn't a package, it's part of the new kernel startup they're using.
[11:32] <lunitik> ompaul: I got one bad image... and learned fast to start looking at the report's
[11:32] <Echylo> should I stay or should I go
[11:32] <Echylo> deng deng deng
[11:32] <ompaul> lunitik, ubuntu gets suggested to a lot of newbies and I would not expose a total newbie to that
[11:32] <lunitik> drspin: mplayer-386 (for instance) has gmplayer... mplayer-nogui is the only one that doesn't contain it
[11:32] <Loiosh> It's doing something with the SCSI card.
[11:33] <lunitik> ompaul: I wouldn't expose such users to the devel branch at all   :/
[11:33] <drspin> lunitik: YAY! --
[11:33] <cwillu> "removing gdm" ...
[11:33] <Loiosh> Lun, you want to try to trouble shoot my issue? =)
[11:33] <cwillu> this can't be good
[11:33] <ompaul> lunitik, I would when and only when they do not get warty to run - and then I only suggest array5
[11:33] <knucks> ok what now?
[11:33] <knucks> it still says its a NTFS
[11:34] <ompaul> knucks, it will until you reboot :-(
[11:34] <knucks> ooo
[11:34] <knucks> ok
[11:34] <knucks> brb then
[11:34] <Loiosh> Reboot?! =)
[11:34] <lunitik> ompaul: Array 5 is just a daily snapshot that happened the day the release plan said they were supposed to do a devel release
[11:34] <njs12345> oo.. spiffy
[11:34] <njs12345> this xchat-gnome thing is pretty cool..
[11:35] <lunitik> ompaul: the array discs are just as likely to have bugs as any other daily
[11:35] <ompaul> lunitik, and I hve used it a lot and not had issues with it - it has a bit more hardware support that has worked for me
[11:35] <blizah> njs12345 so i do synaptic to get mplayer?
[11:35] <drspin> gstreamer0.8 or xine?
[11:35] <njs12345> yup
[11:35] <blizah> you know the package name?
[11:35] <soren9580> how do isolate the output of ls -l?
[11:35] <sabdfl> ompaul: please file bugs on anything you find now, as we are in final bug push through to release mode
[11:35] <soren9580> to get just the last modified time?
[11:35] <lunitik> drspin: why do you want xine when you have mplayer around?
[11:35] <njs12345> soren9580: ls -l | grep <some text>
[11:36] <drspin> soren9580: ls -l | grep <string>
[11:36] <ompaul> sabdfl, I have none at this time - I have pushed out stuff for grumpy
[11:36] <Loiosh> Where would we report them, sabdfl?
[11:36] <soren9580> cool, thanks
[11:36] <cwillu> is xorg or xfree86 the x server in hoary?
[11:36] <drspin> lunitik: just asking which would be better... I still use totem for a few things...
[11:36] <drspin> xorg
[11:36] <sabdfl> ompaul: bugzilla.ubuntu.com
[11:36] <soren9580> now i just have to figure out what the grep should be to get just the date modified
[11:36] <njs12345> oh, if you only want the last modified time
[11:36] <drspin> soren9580: where you from?
[11:36] <Echylo> xorg cwillu ?
[11:37] <apokryphos> cwillu: though you can of course use both
[11:37] <soren9580> Oregon
[11:37] <soren9580> i'm a student
[11:37] <cwillu> okay, thx
[11:37] <Loiosh> Thanks, sabdfl =)
[11:37] <blizah> njs12345, you know the package name in synap?
[11:37] <ompaul> sabdfl, I do not have bugs to report at this time - and I spent a lot of today doing apt-get update
[11:37] <lunitik> drspin: currently gstreamer's ffmpeg plugin isn't up to much, so the xine backend would be more useful
[11:37] <drspin> soren9580: NM -- one of my buddies used to use your nick
[11:37] <lunitik> drspin: they are working on that though apparently
[11:37] <GNAM> incredible! my ubuntu-64 won't install
[11:37] <drspin> lunitik: thanks
[11:37] <soren9580> well, i used to live in CA
[11:37] <drspin> soren9580: yeah - nope... New Mexico
[11:37] <apokryphos> Not Soren Kierkegaard fans, by any chance?
[11:37] <soren9580> and i think i'm the only person to ever use this nickname
[11:38] <ompaul> apt-get install was rather busy
[11:38] <soren9580> with 9580 at the end?
[11:38] <njs12345> ls -l | awk '{ print $6 " " print $7 }'
[11:38] <njs12345> blizah: you need to add some repositories
[11:38] <njs12345> and then it's mplayer -i586, or mplayer-k7, or mplayer-i386
[11:38] <blizah> as i stare blankly :D
[11:38] <GNAM> error when installing kernel "linux-amd64-generic"
[11:38] <GNAM> auau
[11:38] <njs12345> depending on your CPU
[11:38] <drspin> njs12345: what processor?
[11:38] <blizah> sorry im new
[11:38] <lunitik> njs12345: the mplayer packages don't contain the i part
[11:39] <njs12345> don't they
[11:39] <njs12345> oh no, they don't
[11:39] <njs12345> fear not
[11:39] <soren9580> njs12345 i don't have auk
[11:39] <lunitik> njs12345: you probably want 'mplayer-686'
[11:39] <ompaul> GNAM, would that something to do with an  SATA controller?
[11:39] <sabdfl> ompaul: from warty to hoary?
[11:39] <njs12345> http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats
[11:39] <blizah> so if ya dont mind me asking what does "adding repositories" involve?
[11:39] <GNAM> i've aspire 1522, notebook
[11:39] <njs12345> you don't have awk?
[11:39] <sabdfl> blizah: edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:39] <GNAM> I tried Warty, now I try Hoary
[11:39] <GNAM> I'll try Hoary 6
[11:39] <njs12345> or go to Settings->Repositories
[11:40] <ompaul> sabdfl, no - just a new box not production
[11:40] <njs12345> (in synaptic)
[11:40] <soren9580> nm
[11:40] <lunitik> drspin: uhh... you prolly want 'mplayer-686' if you have an intel... or -k6 if you have an Athlon
[11:40] <soren9580> i typed it in wrong
[11:40] <Loiosh> Oh, there's a bug report for this as well.
[11:40] <njs12345> :)
[11:40] <soren9580> i'm getting this output
[11:40] <soren9580> awk: cmd. line:1: { print $6 " " print $7 }
[11:40] <soren9580> awk: cmd. line:1:                ^ parse error
[11:40] <drspin> lunitik: it wasn't me -- I use 686 in both systems (P4 && dual celerons)
[11:40] <sabdfl> ok
[11:40] <blizah> i have all enabled except deb-src
[11:40] <lunitik> njs12345: also... k7 is only a transition package... depending on k6
[11:40] <njs12345> oh
[11:40] <ompaul> sabdfl, the hoary box is happy and got a lot of testing from two of us with many years of runlevel changing between us :) we then left it with its owner
[11:40] <njs12345> I didn't know that
[11:40] <lunitik> njs12345: now you do
[11:41] <sabdfl> ompaul: that's good news!
[11:41] <drspin> 686 depends on 586 as well ;)
[11:41] <njs12345> yup :)
[11:41] <bob_> any deb for java runtime environment?
[11:41] <knucks> still says NTFS on it
[11:41] <knucks> whyyyyyyyy
[11:41] <drspin> bob_: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats
[11:41] <Chipzz> did you change partition type?
[11:41] <WillCooke> bob, I think there's a howto on the wiki or forumes
[11:41] <knucks> Chipzz: how?
[11:41] <Chipzz> fdisk
[11:41] <knucks> well yeah..
[11:41] <njs12345> bob_: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/Java
[11:41] <knucks> but how
[11:42] <Chipzz> t
[11:42] <knucks> im not getting ya
[11:42] <lunitik> knucks: 'cfdisk' might be easier for you
[11:42] <Chipzz> use the t command in fdisk
[11:42] <knucks> lunitik: cfdisk didnt work for me
[11:42] <ompaul> sabdfl, I have a non production warty box here, I could  bring it to hoary tonight but I might get killed, (its my wifes) if it did not work in the morning, I will do an update on it after she uses it in the morning, when hoary comes out I might consider this particular box for hoary
[11:43] <sabdfl> ompaul: best wait till release if it's life-threatening
[11:43] <drspin> for the merillat repos should I use stable, testing or unstable?
[11:43] <ompaul> only on a sunday morning family on multiple contents get together on irc
[11:43] <lunitik> knucks: 'sudo cfdisk'
[11:44] <knucks> lunitik: doesnt work. i get FATAL ERROR
[11:44] <bob_> thanks! :)
[11:44] <njs12345> I've been thinking about getting a webcam
[11:44] <lunitik> knucks: uhh... oh
[11:44] <njs12345> anyone able to recommend one that works well with both win&linux?
[11:44] <WillCooke> drspin, which version of ubuntu are you running?  Hoary?
[11:44] <drspin> WillCooke: si
[11:44] <drspin> WillCooke: Spanish for "yes"
[11:44] <WillCooke> drspin, unstable
[11:44] <drspin> WillCooke: thanks
[11:45] <ompaul> knucks did you start with fdisk to delete the partition, create a new one and then format it?
[11:45] <knucks> no one is telling me how to do any of that
[11:45] <knucks> take me step by step please
[11:45] <knucks> partition name is /dev/hdc5
[11:45] <tck> join #knucks to help him people
[11:46] <ompaul> knucks, if you want msg me and I will talk you through it
[11:46] <lunitik> tck: new devel? you seem to like being 'in control'  ;)
[11:46] <tims> where's glib-config? The glib-config script installed by GLIB could not be found
[11:46] <tck> lunitik, nope lol..
[11:46] <Echy|Zzz> gnight all
[11:46] <InitMass> hi all, how do i set fluxbox as my default enviroment or make it possible to select it in gdm??
[11:46] <tck> hes been having problems for the last hour, so i think he'll get better help if we join knucks
[11:47] <Loiosh> brb, gunna try new stuff, ompaul =)
[11:47] <ompaul> Loiosh,  have fun
[11:47] <Loiosh> Hopefully I can get around this SCSI issue, it's really killing me that I cannot even install Ubuntu, heh
[11:47] <soren9580> njs12345, what should i do about the awk not working?
[11:48] <lunitik> soren9580: you could try installing gawk instead of mawk and try again...
[11:48] <lunitik> unlikely it has the same bug
[11:48] <soren9580> i got it to work
[11:48] <soren9580> i had to change it to print $8
[11:49] <njs12345> that's strange
[11:49] <njs12345> does the dirname have a space in it?
[11:51] <soren9580> no
[11:51] <soren9580> this is the output drwxr-xr-x    5 nicholsc nicholsc     4096 Mar  4 22:46 BitTorrent
[11:51] <soren9580> without grep
[11:51] <soren9580> i mean awk
[11:51] <aurax> anyone here uses 915G chipset of intel on linux ?
[11:52] <soren9580> now, i've got the current date, i've got the date of the file
[11:52] <soren9580> how do i compare the two in a bash script
[11:52] <soren9580> and how do i do so for multiple files?
[11:55] <drspin> whoa - flood...
[11:55] <woodywarty> Hi all
[11:55] <woodywarty> Hey can somebody help me with this gnome-vfs thing
[11:55] <woodywarty> I can't access my Local Area Network
[11:55] <ompaul> sabdfl, to your knowledge has anyone written a move from a debian desktop to ubuntu FAQ?
[11:56] <sabdfl> ompaul: no
[11:56] <woodywarty> Do I have to install Samba to access my LAN
[11:56] <ompaul> hmm
[11:56] <sabdfl> depends so much on which debian
[11:56] <Loiosh> Yeah, no luck
[11:56] <sabdfl> woody to warty was relatively easy
[11:56] <sabdfl> don't know about woody to hoary
[11:56] <Loiosh> It freezes on: SCSI Subsystem initialized
[11:56] <Loiosh> It's a hard freeze. I have to actually reset / power off the computer. THe keyboard is fully lucked
[11:56] <woodywarty> So what's wrong with my Gnome-vfs thing
[11:56] <sabdfl> and with sarge, if you last updated more than two months ago it should be easy too
[11:56] <Loiosh> locked
[11:57] <soren9580> so how do i make a bash script iterate through a directory and check each file?
[11:57] <GoneBoB> soren9580: for i in *; dostuff $i; done
[11:57] <Ambersand> Hi. I'm trying to boot my ubuntu (warty) cd and my computer reboots after I get the message "uncompressing linux"
[11:57] <GoneBoB> sorry let me fix that
[11:57] <GoneBoB> soren9580: for i in *; do stuff $i; done
[11:57] <GoneBoB> where 'stuff' is your command
[11:57] <Ambersand> I've tried giving the noacpi and nolacpi parameters but it hasn't helped.
[11:58] <aurax> does ubuntu works well with this audio card :
[11:58] <aurax> 	Intel High Definition Audio subsystem using the Realtek ALC860 audio codec.
[11:58] <blizah> so how do i add the repository for mplayer?
[11:58] <blizah> im in repositories under synapitc...
[11:58] <aurax> or this mobo : http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/av/index.htm
[11:58] <mcphail> soren9580: missed the start of the question. Does the 'find' command do what you require?
[11:58] <soren9580> hrm
[11:59] <soren9580> mcphail, are you in college?
[11:59] <cwillu> so, on the assumption that my problems might be rooted in power management, how does one disable such things?
[11:59] <soren9580> i know someone by that name at my school
[11:59] <mcphail> soren9580: no...
[11:59] <soren9580> ok, just thought i'd ask
[11:59] <mcphail> ok
[12:00] <soren9580> there's a guy at my school who's really into computers, and i thought you might be him
