[06:32] <bullgard4> Welches Log hat in Ubuntu 7.04 die Rolle von /var/log/boot.msg bernommen, was man in anderen Linux-Distributionen findet?
[06:32] <marty_> z0rz chans? I use the terminal quite a bit, but I'm unsure what you mean...
[06:32] <nickrud> eterm!
[06:32] <Kasuko> orbisvicis, http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/NAT_problem#Port_Forwarding_on_Linux.2C_specifically_Ubuntu
[06:33] <z0rz> marty_: Then I assume you don't know what irssi is
[06:33] <marty_> z0rz I assume you're right.
[06:33] <z0rz> marty_: :D
[06:33] <Megaqwerty>  !info irssi

[06:34] <Vsop_vsop_vsop_v> g'day folks
[06:34] <Paddy_EIRE> z0rz, you could ask in #irssi imo some of the ppl in there a a**h***s
[06:34] <nickrud> MilitantPotato, did you install the fglrx one, or are you still using the default one from the install?
[06:34] <z0rz> marty_: You can still help if you know how to make gnome-terminal send a 'meta' key when I use Alt+Key combinations
[06:34] <Megaqwerty>  !ubotu mary_
[06:34] <MilitantPotato> nickrud: fglrx

[06:35] <marty_> mary_? lulz
[06:35] <Megaqwerty> argh!
[06:35] <Paddy_EIRE> z0rz, I have become a big irssi fan myself lately
[06:35] <Megaqwerty> sorry bout that :-\
[06:35] <Megaqwerty> z0rz: I'll install irssi...I'm intrigued by this problem
[06:35] <qebab> irssi is fantastic
[06:36] <marty_> XChat has been fine so far, though I'd like a list of /commands.
[06:36] <Megaqwerty> nickrud: you know, I was wondering why my tab wasn't autocompleting his name... ;)
[06:36] <mojo> Megaqwerty: thanks anyway but this is frustrating me, i have several discs to burn.  i'm gonna just reboot... (feels like windows, ech!)
[06:36] <Paddy_EIRE> marty_,  /help

[06:37] <qebab> n for next and p for previous
[06:37] <Flannel> alt-n/p, ctrl-n/p is page up down

[06:38] <ThanatosDrive> Hey guys, kinda a silly question, but, every now and then, when I get the, 'Install _______ [Y/n] ?', I will get instead a [Yn] . Does the missing slash mean anything?

[06:38] <z0rz> Flannel: I'm nutorious to page back up in a chan to find a link .. and then leave it.. and come back a few days later and have to page down through about a million lines of text
[06:38] <qebab> z0rz: I do the same ;)
[06:38] <ThanatosDrive> z0rz: A scrollbar is handier, in place of the Page Down button.
[06:38] <orbisvicis> Kasuko, do you have bum installed. if not read the man pages for update-rc.d. Need to remove iptables_azureus. then delete the file you created. Btw port forwarding is usually managed by a router.
[06:39] <z0rz> ThanatosDrive: Alright.. how do I get a scroll bar in irssi? ;)
[06:39] <jon_> ok here is the short version, he specified System directory L"c:\\windows\\system32" is not accessible.
[06:39] <ThanatosDrive> z0rz: Hrm. :(
[06:39] <z0rz> ThanatosDrive: A classic answer: sudo apt-get remove irssi
[06:39] <Kasuko> I forwarded the port on the router, but it says ubuntu closses all ports
[06:39] <chalcedny> how do i tell which version of ubuntu i have?
[06:39] <Paddy_EIRE> ThanatosDrive, irssi is not a gui app
[06:39] <airwaffle> How do I force a format on an external device that doesn't want me to?

[06:41] <chalcedny> 2.6.17-12-generic

[06:42] <Parisi> Ok, thanks just checking.
[06:42] <Megaqwerty> z0rz: What terminal is OpenBSD running?
[06:42] <z0rz> Megaqwerty: I know it's not bash .. or whatever shell this bsd box is using
[06:42] <orbisvicis> Kasuko, well whatever the case thats besides the point. you need internet. possibly a quick fix is install guarddog again and make sure to open http(s) ports 80,83. or remove the script from the runlevels.
[06:42] <Megaqwerty> z0rz: exactly
[06:42] <orbisvicis> Kasuko, its late here gtg. good luck
[06:42] <ThanatosDrive> marty_: Emote.
[06:42] <nonix4> I downloaded the 7.04 iso - how do I keep the image mounted and as an apt source? Hack fstab & sources.list or do it some simpler way?
[06:42] <z0rz> Megaqwerty: I'm 98% it's bash
[06:42] <sboysel> hey i my usb external harddrive is no longer recognized after a gutsy upgrade
[06:43] <Parisi> nite all
[06:43] <sboysel> any help?
[06:43] <mojo> can anyone suggest a good beginners program to make a DVD-R, playable in DVD players, from AVI and other format source files?
[06:43] <z0rz> Heh.. that sounds like I'm contradicting my previous statement.. but what I was saying before was "I know it's not bash's fault"
[06:43] <nickrud> #ubuntu+1 sboysel
[06:43] <Flannel> sboysel: #ubuntu+1 for gutsy support
[06:43] <marty_> z0rz you're in BSD? Well, should be sh, the original Bourne Shell, or Kornshell? I think just sh.
[06:43] <Megaqwerty> z0rz: ps aux | grep bash
[06:43] <Paddy_EIRE> ionstorm, could you give mojo your link to your unleashed blog

[06:45] <orbisvicis> actually Kasuko just change the script so it does nothing. blank it.
[06:46] <z0rz> Eww.. and in xterm Alt+Num doesn't work..
[06:46] <marty_> z0rz try bash --version, that would tell you if bash is there.
[06:46] <nathan_> does ubuntu have Emerald installed by *default* ?
[06:46] <Flannel> z0rz: You'll want to bind a key combo to scroll_end

[06:48] <Scorp> ThanatosDrive, Its lyk, the system has slowed down pretty much... the applications take time to load and even the booting time has increases

[06:48] <Megaqwerty> Scorp: prelink will speed things up for you
[06:48] <Scorp> Megaqwerty, wat is prelink ??
[06:48] <z0rz> marty_: You are probably read my "It's not bash" statement.. which I cleared up in my next message
[06:48] <Megaqwerty> Scorp: it loads all the libraries needed for your apps automatically, so apps start up faster.
[06:49] <mojo> ionstorm: your blog has a ton of good stuff on there, but no search!!  :D

[06:49] <Scorp> Megaqwerty, thanx... i'll download that... i've got 1 GB Ram and around 2 gb swap space, i guess dat should be fine ???
[06:49] <z0rz> Flannel: Any idea what sb stands for?
[06:50] <Megaqwerty> Scorp: indeed!
[06:50] <sport> strongbad?
[06:50] <Scorp> Megaqwerty, but wont the preloading increase the booting time also ???
[06:50] <z0rz> sport: Prally :D
[06:50] <mojo> read the FANTASTIC manual?

[06:50] <Megaqwerty> Scorp: I don't believe so
[06:50] <radioaktivstor1> hello any body know why i cannot connect to open networks  in ubuntu?
[06:50] <z0rz> Flannel: Nice..  (I currently need to do a manual "insmod" each time I reboot).
[06:50] <berent> i have always wanted to know what does web scrapers used for??
[06:51] <Flannel> z0rz: if you look at the bind stuff (earlier on that page) you'll see what I meant about scroll_end
[06:51] <nickrud> sonex, add the module name to a line by itself in /etc/modules
[06:51] <z0rz> Flannel: I must have missed your message about scroll_end .. did you address me when you said it?
[06:51] <sonex> nickrud: Thanks
[06:51] <marty_> @sonex: add the module name to /etc/modules file.
[06:51] <sport> whats the second widely used shell out side of BAsh? ( for linux)
[06:52] <Scorp> Megaqwerty,  hey, once its installed, is it active, or do i need to put it d sessions file n all ???
[06:52] <lowdn_09> anybody using guraddog?
[06:52] <Flannel> z0rz: I did.  5 minutes ago (:46)
[06:52] <airwaffle> my ipod won't mount "not a valid block device", is this a problem with fstab, or with the device?
[06:52] <marty_> @sport ksh? csh? two other popular ones not counting bash, though they aren't that popular in the first place ;-)
[06:52] <Megaqwerty> Scorp: follow this guide here: http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/05/speed-up-dynamic-linking-using-prelink.html
[06:53] <sport> marty_ so they probably aren't worth learning?
[06:53] <z0rz> Flannnel: Wow!  I just realized the server time is 4 minutes off from actual time!
[06:53] <nonix4> sport: hard to say, tcsh is such oldschool that it can't really be too popular, zsh is nice but doesn't seem to be catching wind for reason or another
[06:53] <Hudko> Ahojte.
[06:53] <z0rz> Flannel: Looks like I'll be moving my irssi box to my home machine.
[06:53] <marty_> @sport: that depends, why wouldn't you want to use bash?
[06:54] <z0rz> Flannel: Good to know about /sb end though .. thanks
[06:54] <Megaqwerty> sport: I love zsh. It's more powerful than BASH!
[06:54] <madera> Hello everybody. I have a rather simple question... I installed kubuntu for the KDE libs but now it changed my Ubuntu orange splash screen (when the computer boots). I happen to preffer the orange one to the new Kubuntu blue one. How do I get my orange one back?
[06:54] <sport> marty_ just trying to learn about alternatives
[06:54] <nickrud> !usplash | madera
[06:54] <ubotu> madera: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[06:54] <Flannel> z0rz: Sounds like you need ntpd
[06:55] <z0rz> Flannel: Well.. yes.. but I don't maintain this shell server.. so it looks like I'll be using my own ubuntu box
[06:55] <nonix4> Megaqwerty: any ideas on whether zsh has those bash-like bugs that attempt to gain sentience when hooked up w/ a terminal that loops input back to bash for reason or another?
[06:55] <marty_> Well, there's bash, ksh, zsh, ksh, and possibly tcsh for GNU/Linux to my knowledge.
[06:55] <Flannel> madera: splash screen, the loading screen?  dpkg-reconfigure usplash-artwork.so
[06:55] <z0rz> Hmm so after all this I still can't figure out how to get meta keys working in gnome-terminal.. I guess I'll just use Alt+P and Alt+N
[06:56] <Megaqwerty> nonix4: I have no idea what you just said, but I haven't had any problems running it from bash or vice-versa
[06:56] <Flannel> z0rz: /window # also works

[06:58] <berent> Flannel ; but why do you want to automate and test it?
[06:58] <z0rz> Flannel: Too slow for me .. I'd rather use Alt+Num key (which is working.. just not Alt-Left and Alt-Right)
[06:59] <nonix4> How do I add a 7.04 dvd .iso as an apt source? Do I need to manually hack in the loopback entry in fstab?
[06:59] <Flannel> z0rz: not if you're on window 7, and have to get to window 17(and don't want to reset status of the intermediates)  Multiple methods are good.
[06:59] <Flannel> nonix4: you'll mount it, then use apt-cdrom add
[06:59] <mjancaitis> nonix4: you should be able to uncomment a line in apt-sources
[06:59] <Megaqwerty> nonix4: hold on...I'll pastebin a nice nautilus script for mounting iso files
[06:59] <nonix4> Flannel: permanently ;)
[06:59] <sonex> I just checked. My kernel module (fglrx) is already in my etc/modules file. It doesn't load on startup, but if I type "insmod /lib/modules/2.6.15-27-386/misc/fglrx.ko", it loads. Is the module in the wrong spot?
[07:00] <marty_> Well, bye!
[07:00] <Flannel> berent: test?  what?  you automate so you don't have to manually browse/recurse through sites
[07:01] <berent> Flannel : is there any tool in ubuntu like velocityscape
[07:01] <Megaqwerty> nonix4: http://megaqwerty.pastebin.ca/675465 that's the mount script
[07:01] <Flannel> berent: I've never heard of velocityscrape, what does it do?
[07:01] <Megaqwerty> nonix4: I'll get the unmount script if you want as well
[07:02] <Scorp> Megaqwerty, how do i save the file and exit in VI ??
[07:02] <berent> Flannel: http://www.velocityscape.com
[07:02] <Megaqwerty> Scorp: hold on...I've never used VI
[07:02] <Flannel> berent: That webpage doesn't explain anything.  What does it actually do?
[07:02] <z0rz> Flannel: Ahh yes.. I'm always in favor of multiple methods
[07:02] <Flannel> Scorp: :wq (hit escape first a few times)
[07:02] <greenpop> How to I "install" Ubuntu from a thumbdrive, oppose to a CD-Rom?
[07:02] <Flannel> !install | greenpop
[07:02] <ubotu> greenpop: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[07:02] <Megaqwerty> Scorp: yeah, what Flannel said
[07:03] <berent> Flannel: its a web scraper
[07:03] <Flannel> berent: There are plenty (heck, one's already installed), search the repos for one you like
[07:03] <ckin2001> scorp - press ESC, then :wq
[07:03] <berent> Flannel : which one is already installed?
[07:03] <ckin2001> eek too late
[07:03] <Scorp> THANX, I'll just do that
[07:04] <nickrud> nonix4, just add it to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb cdrom:/ feisty main restricted universe multiverse
[07:05] <Scorp> ckin2001,  it aint happening...
[07:05] <Vsop_vsop_vsop_v> suweewb
[07:05] <Flannel> berent: wget
[07:05] <Scorp> ckin2001, okay ya, it happened
[07:05] <Scorp> thanx guys
[07:05] <greenpop> thanks
[07:05] <berent> ok
[07:06] <berent> Flannel : but that;s a downloader
[07:06] <nickrud> nonix4, scratch that, use apt-cdrom to add it to your sourceslist
[07:07] <Flannel> berent: It's not just a downloader
[07:08] <berent> Flannel :is it?
[07:08] <tinfury> How I do exit x and get to a console
[07:08] <tinfury> I want to exit X all together
[07:09] <CoasterMaster> tinfury: CTRL + ALT + F1 (or F2 - F6)
[07:09] <CoasterMaster> to switch back: ALT + F7
[07:09] <tinfury> CoasterMaster, Will that kill x
[07:09] <tinfury> I want to be out all togehter
[07:10] <berent> Flannel : does wget has an UI?
[07:10] <astro76> tinfury, to stop X completely: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop
[07:10] <airwaffle> soo...anyone with ideas on forcing a format on external device?
[07:10] <tinfury> ?dm?
[07:10] <CoasterMaster> tinfury: in a console type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (using GNOME)
[07:10] <CoasterMaster> tinfury: kdm for KDE and gdm for GNOME
[07:10] <astro76> tinfury, that will work whether you are using kdm gdm or xdm
[07:10] <Sam_Wesin> /dance
[07:10] <CoasterMaster> oh snap, i thought you had to replace the letter, my bad
[07:10] <tinfury> How do I start it back? startx?
[07:11] <CoasterMaster> same thing, but replace stop with start
[07:11] <astro76> CoasterMaster, Bash does that ;)
[07:11] <tinfury> Thanks
[07:11] <CoasterMaster> astro76: learn something new every day
[07:11] <tinfury> lol how do I know if I'm in kde or gnome?
[07:11] <tinfury> :!
[07:11] <CoasterMaster> are you using regular Ubuntu?
[07:11] <tinfury> yea
[07:11] <Evanlec> if ur in KDE everything will have a K in its name lol ;p
[07:12] <tarelerulz> I am running ktorrent and when I get really fast download I can't get net.
[07:12] <tinfury> feisty
[07:12] <CoasterMaster> tinfury: then you're in GNOME
[07:12] <tinfury> ok thanks
[07:12] <tarelerulz> I mean in the 600 kb ran
[07:12] <CoasterMaster> tinfury: kubuntu uses KDE
[07:12] <tarelerulz> I don't remember have this problem before
[07:12] <astro76> tarelerulz, using a router?
[07:13] <multiverse> ls
[07:13] <tarelerulz> Yes I am using a router astro76
[07:13] <Flannel> berent: No
[07:14] <TylerJGillies> is it possible to combine two WLAN netwrks to boost bandwidth without a MIMO card?
[07:16] <gerso> hello room
[07:16] <gerso> can someone tell me the command to become root in the terminal please
[07:16] <tarelerulz> I am just lost what would make you not get net when downloading
[07:16] <astro76> tarelerulz, a lot of consumer routers have real problems handling lots of connections, some will have a setting to decrease the time for connection states to be dropped
[07:16] <Flannel> gerso: Why do you want a root terminal?
[07:16] <sapumal> what is the best pdf editor available for ubuntu.
[07:16] <astro76> tarelerulz, which could help, some have to be reset sometimes...
[07:16] <sonex> gerso: try "sudo bash"
[07:16] <gerso> i am trying to install some files
[07:17] <Flannel> sonex: no.
[07:17] <Flannel> gerso: Use sudo
[07:17] <astro76> !root | gerso
[07:17] <ubotu> gerso: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[07:17] <gerso> sonex that did the trick, thanks
[07:18] <TylerJGillies> sudo -i is better
[07:18] <nickrud> meh. that factoid oughta have something about sudo -i for the impatient
[07:18] <chalcedny> if i installed gtalk.. where is it to run it?
[07:19] <TylerJGillies> chalcedny: did you use apt-get?
[07:19] <Kousotu> Can Windows EXEs be run on linux except through wine?
[07:19] <nickrud> Kousotu, no
[07:19] <Kousotu> damn..
[07:19] <TylerJGillies> Kousotu: if they were compiled for linux
[07:19] <Kousotu> can wine give linux any trojans?
[07:19] <chalcedny> TylerJGillies: sudo apt-get
[07:19] <nickrud> Kousotu, if you really want a decent windows in linux, use virtualbox or vmware
[07:20] <underdog5004> Kousotu, in rare cases, and only if you run the virus exe manually
[07:20] <vicmst> Help! Gnome is no longer my default desktop environment! How do I restore it to such? If I log out, I am in the KDE login screen!
[07:20] <sapumal> what is the best pdf editor for ubuntu?
[07:20] <TylerJGillies> chalcedny: dpkg -L gtalk|grep bin
[07:20] <chalcedny> TylerJGillies: ty :)
[07:20] <nickrud> vicmst, you can run gnome from that login, look under sessions. It's only a session manager
[07:20] <chalcedny> sapumal: evince
[07:20] <chalcedny> at least that is what i have
[07:20] <vicmst> Nickrud -- I'm aware of such, I want the "gnome" login, though!
[07:21] <Kousotu> underdog5004: I have a program that shows up as: Trojan.Delf-72 FOUND
[07:21] <nickrud> vicmst, then sudo update-alternatives --config gdm
[07:21] <sonex> I'm back. Earlier I was trying to get the fglrx module loaded on startup and someone suggested adding it to my modules.conf file. It turns out it's already there. When I insert it with insmod, I need to supply the full path to the .ko file. Do I need to copy the module to a particular directory?
[07:21] <nickrud> sonex, run sudo depmod -a
[07:21] <vicmst> nickrud -- "No alternatives for gdm."
[07:21] <Kousotu> now some programs Iuse as expansions show up like that, but can a windows exe run under linux using wine give linux a trojan?
[07:21] <nickrud> sonex, that should make it work for you
[07:21] <sapumal> chalcedny: I can view files in evince but I can't edit them
[07:22] <nickrud> vicmst, then sudo aptitude install gdm
[07:22] <chalcedny> sapumal: oh yeah
[07:22] <sonex> nickrud: I'll try that, thanks.
[07:22] <d4rkmonkey> Kousotu if you choose to run the trojan?
[07:22] <Flannel> vicmst: dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[07:22] <d4rkmonkey> Kousotu and if its compatible with Wine, not everything works with wine
[07:22] <Kousotu> ?
[07:22] <nickrud> erh, vicmst sorry, see Flannel :)
[07:22] <vicmst> Flannel, thank you :)
[07:23] <d4rkmonkey> Kousotu if you run wine trojan.exe or whatever the trojan is, and if its compatible with wine, not all programs work under wine.
[07:23] <Flannel> vicmst: and, for the firefox start page, update-alternateives --config firefox-homepage
[07:23] <ironmata1> is the distribuited free cd for linux the x86 32bit iso?
[07:23] <Kousotu> d4rkmonkey: ok, let's assume it is, how would I clean it?
[07:23] <Flannel> ironmata1: you can get that one, yes.
[07:23] <nickrud> ironmata1, you ask the strangest questions sometimes
[07:24] <d4rkmonkey> Kousotu I have no idea, I've never been dumb enough to consciously choose to run a windows virus on a linux system...
[07:24] <ironmata1> well i have that cd and i was asking to confirm
[07:24] <Flannel> ironmata1: it should be printed on it somewhere
[07:24] <chalcedny> sapumal: did you find anything that will let you edit pdfs?
[07:25] <Kousotu> d4rkmonkey: I've had programs that run as a "virus" but they're clean
[07:25] <Flannel> ironmata1: if not, what color is it?
[07:25] <Kousotu> I have to reinstall linux anyway, guess it wouldn't kill me
[07:25] <Kousotu> lol
[07:25] <mattg> hey everybody
[07:26] <JCDG> hey mattg
[07:26] <demonspeeding> hello
[07:26] <mattg> i need to know how to make knetworkmanager start up everytime i login because it's not starting for me when i go to configure autostart
[07:26] <mattg> so i need something to force it to start
[07:26] <nickrud> sapumal, there's a package called pdfedit, but I've never tried it myself
[07:27] <Kousotu> I won't be able to VM it, aim won't lie you send anything with a "trojan"
[07:27] <Kousotu> let*
[07:27] <ironmata1> red paper cd case 7.04 and it only says this pc edition will run on intel x86 based systems  including i pent i core amd athelon
[07:27] <d4rkmonkey> Kousotu are you saying, that you have windows programs, that are "clean viruses" and for some reason you need to run those in Ubuntu?
[07:28] <Flannel> ironmata1: that's x86 32bit
[07:28] <JCDG> let me find something...
[07:28] <Kousotu> d4rkmonkey: no
[07:28] <demonspeeding> is there a flash equivalent that will run on x64 ubuntu? adobe doesn't seem offer anything like that
[07:28] <Kousotu> d4rkmonkey: I have a program I am unsure of
[07:28] <ironmata1> i dident see the exact iso distro printed anywhere is why i asked
[07:28] <Kousotu> as I didn't get it the usual way
[07:28] <d4rkmonkey> Kousotu you said you have programs that are clean but run like a virus...
[07:28] <sapumal> nickrud: I ll try that. thanks.
[07:28] <Kousotu> demonspeeding: yes
[07:29] <ironmata1> thank u flannel
[07:29] <demonspeeding> really? do you have a link or something?
[07:29] <Kousotu> d4rkmonkey: I said: some programs that enhance games I have show up as viruses
[07:29] <z0rz> I'd like to configure my 7 button mouse so that one of the buttons goes forward in firefox ... I've already edited the xorg.conf to enable the back button.. what do I need to do to add the other button to work as a forward button?
[07:29] <nickrud> !mouse | z0rz
[07:29] <ubotu> z0rz: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto  - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
[07:29] <Kousotu> demonspeeding: open synaptic and search "flash"
[07:29] <d4rkmonkey> Kousotu you mean cheats? enhance games isn't  very good term...
[07:30] <demonspeeding> right on, thank you
[07:30] <Kousotu> d4rkmonkey: well, sometimes. other times it shows better data, like the actaull health of anenemy
[07:31] <d4rkmonkey> Kousotu so hacks... If you game enough to use hacks like that, why run the games in Ubuntu?
[07:31] <chalcedny> does anyone use a gui lan messenger ?
[07:31] <b0xii> chalcedny, no but i'd be interested in my options
[07:31] <z0rz> nickrud: Thanks
[07:32] <JCDG> matt are you there?
[07:32] <Kousotu> d4rkmonkey: I game on windows, not linux
[07:32] <d4rkmonkey> Kousotu so why are you running it in wine?
[07:32] <d4rkmonkey> Kousotu you aren't making sense.
[07:33] <Kousotu> d4rkmonkey: you're not reading
[07:33] <chalcedny> b0ha: looking at gtalk and xphone .. haven't seen what xphone does yet
[07:33] <d4rkmonkey> Kousotu no, you're not making sense.
[07:33] <d4rkmonkey> Kousotu try to be clearer when saying something if you think its on my side.
[07:33] <Kousotu> [00:24:59]  Kousotu : d4rkmonkey: I've had programs that run as a "virus" but they're clean
[07:34] <d4rkmonkey> Kousotu yeah, I read that.
[07:34] <d4rkmonkey> Kousotu then you stated that those were game hacks
[07:34] <d4rkmonkey> Kousotu then you stated that you game in windows
[07:34] <pvd2006> hey everyone, I need help setting up sources for gusty gibson
[07:34] <d4rkmonkey> Kousotu but your whole problem is a supposed trojan in wine.
[07:34] <z0rz> I guess I have to restart x everytime I edit xorg.conf for the settings to take effect
[07:34] <d4rkmonkey> pvd2006 update-manager -d should update
[07:35] <d4rkmonkey> pvd2006 if not, you need to change your meta-release file then try, I can give you a link to the meta-release that should work if you need it
[07:35] <Kousotu> d4rkmonkey: what is the chance the troja will be compadable?
[07:35] <pvd2006> im actually running on gutsty gibson already, just need to setup the sources file to download from all the repositories again. I havent used linux in a while, haha.
[07:35] <d4rkmonkey> Kousotu I don't know, I don't know anything about how wine works.
[07:35] <d4rkmonkey> pvd2006 oh lol
[07:36] <d4rkmonkey> pvd system>adminstration>sources ?
[07:36] <d4rkmonkey> pvd2006 ^^ gah, I forgot to tab that time
[07:36] <multiverse> Hi all.   I want to review the contents of this package:
[07:36] <multiverse> /pool/restricted/l/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22/nvidia-glx_1.0.9639+<IP_ADDRESS>-10.1_i386.deb
[07:37] <multiverse> How do I do that?
[07:37] <multiverse> I want to see who wrote the package and other biographical information.
[07:37] <d4rkmonkey> multiverse what happens when you double click it?
[07:38] <Kousotu> it was clean, as I though
[07:38] <Kousotu> I remembered my advanced cleaning too
[07:38] <d4rkmonkey> Kousotu if its clean why are you worried about a trojan?
[07:38] <furious_gerbil> anyone in here use Beryl?
[07:38] <multiverse> I don't have that package on my system yet.
[07:39] <d4rkmonkey> !beryl | furious_gerbil
[07:39] <ubotu> furious_gerbil: beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[07:39] <multiverse> I want to download it and look inside it.
[07:39] <furious_gerbil> thanks
[07:39] <Kousotu> I just ran it a sec ago
[07:39] <Kousotu> it's clean
[07:39] <d4rkmonkey> multiverse what happens when you double click it? from what you said, it looks like its on your comp.
[07:39] <d4rkmonkey> Kousotu so why didn't you do that in the first place?
[07:40] <Kousotu> I forgot about my tool
[07:40] <multiverse> It is not
[07:40] <Kousotu> lol
[07:40] <demonspeeding> is there a key combination to swap between workspaces in ubuntu?
[07:40] <multiverse> I got it from here:  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/gutsy/tribe-5/gutsy-alternate-i386.list

[07:43] <Fivetwentysix> hey guys i have a problem
[07:43] <t-dawg> channel #stealthbot
[07:43] <t-dawg> go now
[07:43] <Kousotu> demonspeeding: I'll check
[07:43] <Fivetwentysix> My monitor doesn't support the default resolution Ubuntu starts in
[07:43] <Fivetwentysix> I have two monitors
[07:44] <pvd2006> Hmm the ubuntu sources.list generator doesnt seem to have all the repositories listed
[07:44] <pvd2006> :-\
[07:44] <Fivetwentysix> a samsung 226bw and a viewsonic vx922
[07:44] <Fivetwentysix> how can i change the default resolution of ubuntu?
[07:44] <Benalex> GoodDay to you all... Can I ask a question?
[07:45] <tinfury> Hey anyone here know how to get this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD7QraljRfM
[07:45] <tinfury> I'm using beryl
[07:45] <gnuskool> Benalex, shoot
[07:45] <pavs> how do I install kde4?
[07:45] <tinfury> and I want to know how to get those disapearing windows
[07:45] <Fivetwentysix> gnuskool did you see my question?
[07:46] <tinfury> Like when the windows kinda sparkle away
[07:46] <slap_me> im a boring ubuntu user
[07:46] <Benalex> gnuskool .. Thank you.... I want to know as Ubuntu OS is giving support for free why it has a limited time for support, and what should I do after this period is expired?
[07:46] <slap_me> i dont need those fancy window things
[07:46] <slap_me> = X
[07:46] <slap_me> beryl and compiz are useless to me
[07:46] <summer_s4> what is the directory of the "user" main directory using cd to get me there from a freshly opened terminal
[07:46] <JCDG> ok, 526, you need to install beryl
[07:46] <Kousotu> demonspeeding: try "windows key" + tab
[07:46] <Fivetwentysix> Anyone know what I should do? I can't see gnome because it starts in a VGA resolution which my monitors don't support.
[07:47] <Kousotu> it's woth a shot
[07:47] <Kousotu> lol
[07:47] <Fivetwentysix> JCDG yeah but I can't see anything
[07:47] <summer_s4> what directory does terminal start you as?
[07:47] <Fivetwentysix> How am I suppose do anything?
[07:47] <Paddy_EIRE> Benalex, you can pay for one of the support packages on the ubuntu site
[07:47] <underdog5004> summer_s4, /home/username
[07:47] <Paddy_EIRE> !support | Benalex
[07:47] <ubotu> Benalex: the official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org
[07:47] <demonspeeding> ehh, didn't work
[07:47] <Fivetwentysix> I tried starting up with both monitors nothing works
[07:47] <Fivetwentysix> It happened with the live cd too
[07:48] <Fivetwentysix> however i was able to fix it
[07:48] <underdog5004> Fivetwentysix, I would hit Ctrl-Alt-F1, log in, and do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, then select the res you want
[07:48] <Fivetwentysix> because there was a setting to change my resolution
[07:48] <Benalex> does this limited period support includes system updates?
[07:48] <Kousotu> demonspeeding: that was a guess
[07:48] <JCDG> wich graphics card do you have??
[07:48] <Kousotu> lol
[07:48] <slap_me> Benalex, you always get updates
[07:48] <Paddy_EIRE> Benalex, update are always free
[07:48] <slap_me> but the support from actual UBUNTU is done
[07:48] <Paddy_EIRE> !canonical Benalex
[07:49] <slap_me> kinda like support from a computer company
[07:49] <Fivetwentysix> JCDG: 8800gts
[07:49] <atdt_> I want to know how I typed an entire essay in Kubuntu, with openoffice.org 2.2 and firefox in the background
[07:49] <Paddy_EIRE> !canonical | Benalex
[07:49] <ubotu> Benalex: Canonical Ltd. is committed to the development, distribution and promotion of open source software products, and to providing tools and support to the open source community. It is the driving force behind the Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Edubuntu Operating Systems. Canonical's website is at http://www.canonical.com/
[07:49] <atdt_> without noticing that my swap wasn't working
[07:49] <summer_s4> why is it that when i type cd /garnome-2.19.1/desktop (which is a valid directory from /home/my-username that it says there isn't such a directory
[07:49] <Fivetwentysix> im using pretty high end specs
[07:49] <atdt_> I wondered why it was so slow
[07:49] <gnuskool> Benalex, ubuntu versions that have LTS are Long Term Support, which is 3 years for a desktop and 5 years for servers, so if you want long support get those versions, in other versions development is the goal
[07:49] <Fivetwentysix> so i guess this is going to be a bit of a pain
[07:49] <d4rkmonkey> atdt_ Cus Ubuntu is that awesome.
[07:49] <z0rz> Is there a way to see what button the ubuntu thinks I'm pressing on my mouse (I have a 10 butotn mouse and it's hard to configure xorg.conf w/o know which button is what)
[07:49] <atdt_> lol
[07:49] <Paddy_EIRE> Benalex, what is your business
[07:49] <JCDG> you didn't have anny kind of errors when you installed the drivers??
[07:49] <gnuskool> Fivetwentysix, not sure about dual monitors
[07:49] <tinfury> Hey.... I'm just installed ubuntu on my laptop and everything is running fine... but every now and then my screen flashes black
[07:49] <Fivetwentysix> underdog5004: So how do I change the resolution after i type in that command?
[07:49] <tinfury> Should I be worried?
[07:49] <Benalex> Well...... Actually I don't know what kind of support these packages will offer...... I have to read and come back to you again :))
[07:49] <Fivetwentysix> gnuskool I tried with 1 monitor for both monitors
[07:50] <Core2Duo> Hi good pople. Anyone here knows about the ubuntuhomeserver project?
[07:50] <Paddy_EIRE> Benalex I mean what is your business
[07:50] <underdog5004>  Fivetwentysix, use the space bar to select resolutions, enter to move forward
[07:50] <Fivetwentysix> underdog5004: is it pretty straightf orward?
[07:50] <underdog5004> Fivetwentysix, yep
[07:50] <Fivetwentysix> alright thanks for your help I'm going to try it
[07:50] <Fivetwentysix> hopefully i'll be back on linux instead of vista
[07:50] <underdog5004> Fivetwentysix, I would do this, though: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[07:50] <underdog5004> that will be quicker
[07:51] <slap_me> i wish my parents would want to use vista
[07:51] <slap_me> = X
[07:51] <underdog5004> why?
[07:51] <slap_me> i have dual boot on my moms laptop, ubuntu/vista
[07:51] <slap_me> i wanna wipe out vista
[07:51] <slap_me> = )
[07:51] <slap_me> wait
[07:51] <slap_me> did i say use vista
[07:51] <slap_me> i meant ubuntu
[07:51] <Fivetwentysix> huh?
[07:51] <Paddy_EIRE> :P
[07:51] <slap_me> its 12:51
[07:51] <Benalex> My Business is Computer services and Automation Systems
[07:51] <slap_me> sorry its late
[07:52] <underdog5004> Fivetwentysix, if you're still around, to get back to a gui, hit Alt-F7
[07:52] <Fivetwentysix> ok
[07:52] <Fivetwentysix> going now
[07:52] <d4rkmonkey> Does anyone else notice that when the application volume in amarok is at 100% the music becomes distorted? (I'm in gutsy, its an amarok problem, because if I turn the volume down a bit in amarok and turn up hardware volume, I can get it louder with no distortion)
[07:52] <Fivetwentysix> ok
[07:52] <underdog5004> d4rkmonkey, I've seen that with xmms as well
[07:52] <underdog5004> I just don't care, you know?
[07:52] <d4rkmonkey> underdog5004 any idea why it happens? Its kinda annoying...
[07:52] <Paddy_EIRE> Benalex, Canonical's proper paid support for ubuntu is really excellent,  I have not found anything on any other OS that comes remotely close
[07:53] <Benalex> and I am just about to leave Microsoft World (AKA Windows) to go to Linux community, and I have been Adviced to start by Ubuntu as it is easy for linux begginers and well documented
[07:53] <underdog5004> d4rkmonkey, no idea, sorry
[07:53] <d4rkmonkey> underdog5004 thanks anyways
[07:53] <underdog5004> d4rkmonkey, np
[07:53] <d4rkmonkey> Benalex yeah, and the Ubuntu community is great
[07:53] <buddha> hello
[07:53] <underdog5004> Benalex, good for you
[07:53] <gnuskool> slap_me, why you gettin rid of ubuntu anyhow?
[07:53] <nickrud_> d4rkmonkey, that's probably a clipping artifact of the analog amplifier on your machine; keep it at about 80% to avoid
[07:53] <d4rkmonkey> Benalex Ubuntu has one of the largest communities of any distros I believe
[07:53] <slap_me> no no, gnuskool
[07:53] <slap_me> i messed up
[07:53] <slap_me> i want to rid of vista
[07:53] <d4rkmonkey> nickrud_ I don't quite understand what you're saying... but that sound good to me.
[07:53] <slap_me> im just tired, and typed wrong
[07:54] <Benalex> Ok..guys..... I can't read your replies..... it is really crowdy here... would someone please msg me on private?
[07:54] <z0rz> All: Btw I figured out how to see what button ubuntu was seeing.. I just installed imwheel and typed "imwheel -c" .. just FYI
[07:54] <underdog5004> Benalex, the problem with this channel is that you may not get your answer as quickly or politely as compared to finding it yourself w/ google.
[07:54] <Paddy_EIRE> Benalex, done right and with a good attitude and willingness to learn you simply cannot go wrong
[07:54] <nickrud_> d4rkmonkey, the top of the sine wave gets clipped off, because it runs out of voltage :)
[07:54] <ironmatar> i have a error code  to report from installing and need a fix for the x86 image
[07:54] <slap_me> google is great for fixing stuff on ubuntu
[07:54] <Paddy_EIRE> underdog5004, although this channel would not exist if we all just used google now :P
[07:54] <slap_me> as is ubuntu's site
[07:54] <d4rkmonkey> nickrud_ ok, I think that only started happening recently in gutsy too. My sound card had issues around kernel update, that was fixed, now theres this. Atleast this isn't that big of an issue.
[07:55] <underdog5004> Paddy_EIRE, true, some things are not easily found w/ google.
[07:55] <nickrud_> d4rkmonkey, I do that just as a matter of course, was an audiophile at one time
[07:55] <gnuskool> Benalex, www.ubuntuforums.com is your friend, there is a load of up to date info and helpful people there too
[07:55] <d4rkmonkey> nickrud_ ok
[07:55] <nickrud_> back when the phono cartridge was a matter of great debate :)
[07:56] <slap_me> you guys know the guy from ubuntus website, the support guy with the green shirt?
[07:56] <gnuskool> Benalex, sorry, should be www.ubuntuforums.org
[07:56] <Paddy_EIRE> underdog5004, although I find howtoforge and blogger/blogspot and numerous others excellent.. oh and ofcourse the unofficial and official wikis respectively
[07:56] <nickrud_> I wish some of these bloggers would spend time on the wiki
[07:56] <Paddy_EIRE> yes
[07:56] <slap_me> he's on firedog.com too. i think firedog took ubuntu support's picture
[07:57] <dvm> gnuskool, http://ubuntuforums.com/ will automatically redirects to http://ubuntuforums.org/
[07:58] <gnuskool> dvm, thx for that
[07:58] <ironmatar>  actually 2 errors  1 sub-process post removal script returned error exit status 139 and 2 error occured while removing packages e:sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned error code 1 folowing package in broken state   gparted
[07:59] <nickrud_> ironmatar, could you put the entire error on a pastebin
[07:59] <Paddy_EIRE> nickrud_, ubuntuunleashed by ionstorm is very promising.. you should browse about it there are some excellent info
[07:59] <nickrud_> Paddy_EIRE, I saw that tonight (I think you were talking about it earlier) and that's exactly who I was thinking of :)
[07:59] <Paddy_EIRE> oh... :P
[07:59] <ironmatar> nick im not sure where i would find the record of it
[08:00] <Coole^> notify
[08:00] <nickrud_> ironmatar, you'd run the command again in a terminal, and copy and paste the output to the pastebin

[08:05] <pavs> hi I just installed KDE but I am not sure if it's 4.0? how do I find out?
[08:06] <thedonvaughn> pavs: if you don't know, I promise you didn't install 4
[08:06] <pavs> ok so how do I install 4?
[08:07] <demonspork> pavs, 4 is a bit buggy
[08:07] <ironmatar> nickrud_:  thanks
[08:07] <nickrud_> ironmatar, you found the problem?
[08:07] <pavs> I wanna try it out KDM is not my default, GDM is.
[08:07] <demonspork> pavs, I doubt you want 4, unless you have something that specifically needs it
[08:08] <pavs> i specifically need to try it out :)
[08:08] <llamafier> Does anyone here have experience with the ndiswrapper? Iv'e installed my wireless driver using it and it says the device is present when doing "ndiswrapper -l", but i don't see the wireless extension.
[08:09] <demonspork> pavs, I woul recommend learning something that works fully before you start messing with something buggy
[08:10] <Kousotu> demonspork: what isses are you having?
[08:10] <thedonvaughn> pavs: google is your friend.  I don't think someone is going to walk you through it on IRC.  KDE4 is still in beta and is a tedious, somewhat lengthy process.  However it has been done and people are using it, and there are many HOWTOs written on the subject
[08:10] <pavs> dedemonspork I understand your concern. I still want to try it out. and will probably will remove it later. because I am a full time gnome user. only want to try it out because i have heard some good stuff about it.
[08:11] <llamafier> pavs: That reminds me of the time i wanted to try looking glass
[08:11] <d4rkmonkey> o_O
[08:11] <Rexor_Moon> hey, I've got an internet related question, I was wondering if someone else had the same problem.
[08:11] <thedonvaughn> heh looking glass is def not worth it :)
[08:11] <pavs> ok thanks for the help.
[08:11] <llamafier> Yes thats what i found out :p
[08:11] <Rexor_Moon> every time I try to go to slacker.com, my internet freezes up
[08:12] <dooglus> Rexor_Moon: just your internet?  or the whole public internet?
[08:12] <Rexor_Moon> just mine it looks like
[08:12] <thedonvaughn> oh so that was you?  stop it
[08:12] <llamafier> So really no one here can help me setting up ndis?
[08:12] <dooglus> Rexor_Moon: shame.  or you might have just found a career in extortion.
[08:13] <likwid__> hey guys
[08:13] <likwid__> im in a bit of a pickle
[08:13] <Kousotu> likwid__: explain
[08:14] <likwid__> i was editing /etc/fstab to automount 2 volumes for me, and when i opened them all the files were locked
[08:14] <dooglus> likwid__: do you mean you've got a bit of a pickle in you?
[08:14] <likwid__> so i ran sudo chmod 666 /media/spare and i think all the data on that drive is corrupt
[08:15] <likwid__> if i do ls -l /media/spare it only shows this
[08:15] <Fivetwentysix> OK
[08:15] <Fivetwentysix> that didn't work
[08:15] <kraut> moin
[08:15] <likwid__> ?--------- ? ? ? ?             ? /media/spare/Mp3's
[08:15] <Fivetwentysix> My problem still is: I can't see anything when I start Ubuntu, no load screen, no splash screen, nothing.
[08:15] <likwid__> for all the files and folders on that drive
[08:16] <Fivetwentysix> My video card is 8800gts and my monitor is Samsung SyncMaster 226BW
[08:16] <carter_> Fivetwentysix, have you tried starting in safemode
[08:16] <Fivetwentysix> I'm doing a fresh install
[08:16] <Fivetwentysix> I am able to start in Safemode.
[08:16] <multiverse> How do I find out what is in /pool/restricted/l/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22/nvidia-glx_1.0.9639+<IP_ADDRESS>-10.1_i386.deb
[08:16] <nickrud_> kraut, python-moinmoin
[08:16] <Fivetwentysix> And I tried reconfiguring xorg
[08:16] <Fivetwentysix> But everytime I start ubuntu nothing appears.
[08:16] <likwid__> when i try to open something in the file browser it says the attempt to log in failed
[08:16] <Fivetwentysix> Black screen
[08:16] <carter_> Fivetwentysix, try setting your graphic driver to vesa
[08:16] <Kousotu> [01:16:08]  Fivetwentysix : My video card is 8800gts
[08:16] <kraut> nickrud_: false, greeting-moin ;)
[08:16] <Kousotu> Nvidia
[08:16] <Fivetwentysix> I can hear my harddrive working though.
[08:17] <Kousotu> !nvidia | Fivetwentysix
[08:17] <ubotu> Fivetwentysix: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:17] <carter_> You won't get good graphics at all, but you can use it to test
[08:17] <Fivetwentysix> carter_ that's what it was by default.
[08:17] <nickrud_> kraut, ah, guess wrong ;P
[08:17] <Fivetwentysix> Kousotu, do you even know what my problem is?
[08:17] <carter_> Fivetwentysix, so why don't you change it to a good nvidia driver?
[08:17] <likwid__> anyone have any ideas? im completely stuck and i can't lose that data
[08:17] <dooglus> likwid__: do a "sudo chmod +x /media/cdrom" to fix that
[08:17] <Fivetwentysix> I can't see anything.
[08:17] <kraut> nickrud_: yep ;)
[08:17] <Fivetwentysix> There for I can't do anything.
[08:18] <Kousotu> [01:15:50]  Fivetwentysix : My problem still is: I can't see anything when I start Ubuntu, no load screen, no splash screen, nothing.
[08:18] <dooglus> likwid__: your 666 has simply removed the execute permission on that directory.  without execute, you can't cd into a directory
[08:18] <likwid__> omg thank you
[08:18] <carter_> try changing it to 777
[08:18] <Fivetwentysix> The only way i was able to install ubuntu, was by changing the resolution it started in.
[08:18] <likwid__> the question marks confused me
[08:18] <dooglus> likwid__: I don't mean /media/cdrom - I mean whatever the path you used with 666 before - use with +x now
[08:18] <nickrud_> multiverse, you can download the file, then double click it in the file manager
[08:18] <likwid__> i thought i lost everything on that drive
[08:18] <Fivetwentysix> By default it would load up in VGA. but by pressing f4 with the live cd i could change it.
[08:19] <Fivetwentysix> Is there any way to do that without using the Live CD?
[08:19] <dooglus> likwid__: unlikely.  I suspect you've mounted it so that only root can access the files.  is it a FAT drive?
[08:19] <nickrud_> multiverse, or, go to packages.ubuntu.com and look it up there. It'll have a list of files
[08:19] <carter_> Fivetwentysix, do a google search on graphics drivers for your card
[08:19] <carter_> find a good driver, and install it
[08:19] <likwid__> dooglus: xfs actually, for my HTPC
[08:19] <Fivetwentysix> carter_ again, how am I going to install shit if i can't see anything?
[08:20] <dooglus> likwid__: ok, I don't know anything about xfs.  did the chmod +x help?
[08:20] <nickrud_> multiverse, on the packages site, you'll need to specify gutsy
[08:20] <carter_> use safemode
[08:20] <carter_> or you could do it via console
[08:20] <Fivetwentysix> There is no safe mode
[08:20] <likwid__> dooglas: yeah, thank you, i dont kow why i didnt think of that
[08:20] <dooglus> likwid__: I wouldn't expect it to fix the original problem, but it should get you back to where you started
[08:20] <multiverse> carter, how do I set my graphic driver to vesa if I can't see anything and never get a prompt?
[08:20] <Fivetwentysix> How do I do it through console?
[08:20] <carter_> multiverse, add the text "5" to your grub boot commands on start-up
[08:20] <Fivetwentysix> multiverse you go into console and do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:20] <dooglus> likwid__: and about that pickle, wikipedia says "Medical help should be sought if the object does not emerge of its own accord within a couple of hours, and sooner if it is hard, large, has projections or sharp edges, or if bleeding occurs"
[08:20] <carter_> it will put you in text only mode
[08:21] <multiverse> I don't get a console
[08:21] <nickrud_> carter_, that doesn't work in fiesty, sadly
[08:21] <LeWeb> hello everyone
[08:21] <carter_> fuck they took away "5"
[08:21] <carter_> I'm pissed now
[08:21] <Fivetwentysix> multiverse start up in recovery mode
[08:21] <likwid__> dooglas: thanks bud, i'll keep that in mind haha
[08:21] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy | carter_
[08:21] <ubotu> carter_: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[08:21] <nickrud_> carter_, well, first of all that's never been true in debian/ubuntu, and second upstart broke it
[08:21] <LeWeb> I'm having a little inconvenience with Gutsy and ndiswrapper
[08:21] <pvd2006> how do you add a key for a repository?
[08:21] <carter_> That's always worked on my debian distros
[08:21] <pvd2006> so itll work right
[08:21] <MadFaxer> hello everyone!
[08:22] <Paulman> hi, does anybody know how to install libmath and libpthread under ubuntu? im going crazy just to execute gcc -lmath -lpthread
[08:22] <LeWeb> everytime I boot it changes the name of the wireless interface to a new one
[08:22] <dooglus> likwid__: what does "ls -ld /media/spare/Mp3?s" show?
[08:22] <MadFaxer> im loving my Ubuntu installation more and more each day
[08:22] <LeWeb> and I'm afraid it will run out of names...hahah...I would prefer to have it set at wlan0 and not changing...
[08:22] <likwid__> dooglas: it was showing just a question mark, which scared me. but now its ok, i think that should fix everything :)
[08:23] <bullgard4> What log has in Ubuntu 7.04 taken over the role of /var/log/boot.msg which can be found in other Linux distributions?
[08:23] <dooglus> likwid__: what about your original "everything is locked" problem?
[08:23] <nickrud_> carter_, S13gdm is still in rc5.d; I remember it that way in debian (but that's a couple years old, and bits rot)
[08:23] <dooglus> bullgard4: heh.  /dev/null I think.
[08:23] <carter_> okay
[08:23] <carter_> thanks
[08:23] <likwid__> dooglas: still there, but ls -l is showing its owned by nobody nogroup, so chown should fix that pretty quick :)
[08:23] <bullgard4> dooglus: Are you in a good mood?
[08:24] <dooglus> bullgard4: I just woke up.  My mood is OK-ish.  Why?
[08:24] <LeWeb> so do you guys know why is ndiswrapper changing the name of the interface at every boot?
[08:24] <nickrud_> Paulman, do apt-cache search libpthread | grep dev ; and the same with libmath to find the headers
[08:25] <Fivetwentysix> How can I start ubuntu in another resolution other than the default resolution after an install.
[08:25] <nickrud_> Paulman, and if you haven't install build-essential, do so: it'll pull in the libc6 headers as well
[08:26] <Fivetwentysix> Because my monitor doesn't support whatever resolution it's default is.
[08:26] <multiverse> How do I find out what is in /pool/restricted/l/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22/nvidia-glx_1.0.9639+<IP_ADDRESS>-10.1_i386.deb
[08:26] <dooglus> Paulman: libpthread-dev - The GNU Portable Threads (pthread emulation, development)
[08:26] <nickrud_> multiverse, didn't you see what I put up earlier
[08:26] <multiverse> no
[08:26] <multiverse> i'll search
[08:26] <llamafier> Does anyone here have experience with the ndiswrapper? I have installed my wireless driver using it and it says the device is present when doing "ndiswrapper -l", but I don't see the wireless extension.
[08:27] <Paulman> nickrud_, build essential is installed
[08:27] <nickrud_> Paulman, ok
[08:27] <Paulman> dooglus, libpthread-dev is installed
[08:27] <branstrom> What's the best way to get streaming QuickTime movies going in Firefox?
[08:27] <Paulman> nickrud_, im going for apt-cache
[08:28] <jscinoz> Is there a shockwave player for linux yet (that doesnt involve wine + windows firefox)?
[08:28] <nickrud_> !codecs | branstrom
[08:28] <ubotu> branstrom: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[08:28] <nickrud_> jscinoz, no
[08:28] <Fivetwentysix> How can I start ubuntu in another resolution other than the default resolution after an install.
[08:28] <Fivetwentysix> How can I start ubuntu in another resolution other than the default resolution after an install.
[08:28] <Fivetwentysix> Because my monitor doesn't support whatever resolution it's default is.
[08:28] <MadFaxer> When i upgrade to the next release of Ubuntu, will I lose any of my files, etc.?
[08:28] <Paulman> nickrud_, it got me libpthread-dev and stubs0
[08:28] <nickrud_> Paulman, but listen to dooglus: he compiles, I just find packages :)
[08:29] <avec> how i can start adept manager with root rights?
[08:29] <dooglus> Paulman: you sure you want -lmath and not just -lm?
[08:29] <ironmatar> well now i appear to have a working system before installing the updates
[08:29] <ironmatar> had ti run fcsk 4 times
[08:29] <Paulman> dooglus, sorry, that was -lm :P
[08:30] <dooglus> Paulman: you should have -lm installed already
[08:30] <Paulman> dooglus, but that seems to be working now... it just gives me a warning that gentoo does not give, weird
[08:30] <ironmatar> any paticular update packages that are not nessary of the 112 listed?
[08:30] <Paulman> dooglus, about pthread... still troubles
[08:31] <Paulman> dooglus, /usr/include/pthread.h:285: error: conflicting types for pthread_t
[08:31] <Paulman> dooglus, like 15 lines with that kind of errs
[08:31] <nickrud_> ironmatar, they all are important; major bugs and security issues is about all that gets released after the cd is pressed
[08:31] <branstrom> nickrud_: thanks, I guess I'll go for w32codecs
[08:31] <nickrud_> branstrom, good call :)
[08:32] <aa^way> how to  move files with sudo? sudo mv what arguments? ive reda the manual but id ont get it :(
[08:32] <nickrud_> branstrom, and if I might, I'd suggest totem-xine as well
[08:32] <ironmatar> nickrud_: well i was running the 64 bit iso and ever time i updes it broke my install
[08:33] <nickrud_> ironmatar, wierd. I always used sudo aptitude dist-upgrade , I believe in overkill

[08:34] <TylerJGillies> how do you run a command in gnome?
[08:34] <dooglus> TylerJGillies: Alt-F2 ?
[08:34] <nickrud_> TylerJGillies, open a terminal, type there usually
[08:34] <dooglus> TylerJGillies: or run a terminal
[08:34] <bauer> nickrud_, if you write my name in front then i might se the answer :O)
[08:34] <TylerJGillies> dooglus: thnx
[08:34] <TylerJGillies> was looking for hotkey
[08:35] <avec> how to run adept manager with root privileges?
[08:35] <LeWeb> the guys from ndiswrapper say that udev is renaming the interfaces
[08:35] <dooglus> !adept
[08:35] <ubotu> adept is the Kubuntu package manager. Howto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdeptHowto
[08:35] <nickrud_> bauer, I was searching, didn't wanna bother you if I didn't find anything ;P
[08:35] <dvm> TylerJGillies:  alt+F2, give "gnome-terminal"
[08:35] <branstrom> nickrud_: thanks again
[08:35] <dooglus> avec: #kubuntu is for KDE stuff
[08:35] <Paulman> dooglus, well, thanks anyway doog, bye!
[08:35] <dooglus> Paulman: cau
[08:35] <avec> i have ubuntu
[08:36] <ironmatar> 119 updates sheesh
[08:36] <albert> use synaptic package manager
[08:36] <LeWeb> can anybody help me how to figure out why is udev renaming my wireless interface and to stop it from doing so?
[08:36] <albert> *avec
[08:37] <_tux> ironmatar: 119 updates may seem like a lot but you can disable updates you may not need or for instance may not use a certain program that requires an update
[08:37] <_tux> ;-)
[08:37] <bauer> nickrud_, okey i have just mede the search too and it was negative. Have you tryed "locate xml"  insted off find its pretty fast.
[08:37] <ironmatar> _tux i just want to keep my working system
[08:38] <bauer> nickrud_, c/mede/made/
[08:38] <nickrud_> bauer, i did which xml locally, found nothing.
[08:38] <_tux> ironmater: I agree but it displays updates that go by important, recommended or otherwise other updates that may or may not be necessary
[08:38] <_tux> it all depends upon the user on what the user intends to do with the updates
[08:39] <ironmatar> i really need to get my cedega acct that im paying for put in use so i can get back to my corp in eve
[08:39] <Rhoruns_> is anyone here an expert in network translation?
[08:39] <_tux> I removed games from my applications menu completely it just was a waste of space and just slowed down the performance on the hdd
[08:39] <ironmatar> i switched cold turky if you will from win xp
[08:40] <nickrud_> bauer, loking elsewhere
[08:40] <Rhoruns_> cold turkey is fun :D
[08:40] <bauer> nickrud_, i found this http://xmlstar.sourceforge.net/
[08:40] <ironmatar> people said ubunu was east  but it hasent been for me
[08:40] <mattg> what's a cool shell?
[08:40] <bauer> nickrud_, did you try the locate command
[08:41] <Rhoruns_> it's relatively easy.
[08:41] <albert> anyone know if its possible to make your own livecd  like on pclinuxos (using remasterme,mklivecd) ?
[08:41] <nickrud_> bauer, don't have any xml stuff on my machine; I'm doing an apt-find at the moment
[08:41] <Rhoruns_> to be honest though, ubuntu is more different, than it is easy.
[08:41] <Rhoruns_> did you automatically know how to use everything when you first used windows?
[08:42] <Rhoruns_> i think not.
[08:42] <slap_me> ubuntu is very easy
[08:42] <slap_me> everything worked ootb for me
[08:42] <slap_me> = )
[08:42] <_tux> Ubuntu is pretty easy when it comes to using the gnome GUI and the apt-get command through the CLI
[08:42] <Rhoruns_> if anything, using ubuntu will make you more computer literate.
[08:43] <slap_me> gnome is way better than kde, in my opinion
[08:43] <slap_me> lol ironmatar
[08:43] <_tux> to install something like a media player you could easily type "sudo apt-get install bmpx" and it'll gather the dependencies and install the program for you with ease
[08:43] <Rhoruns_> agreed. kde is too bubbly and shiny.. and stuff.. lol
[08:43] <slap_me> exactly Rhoruns_
[08:44] <_tux> ironmatar: just gotta get used to the whole UNIX-Like OSs it differs completely compared to Windows
[08:44] <x_> hi      anyone can help me about Sound ?!!!
[08:44] <albert> whats wrong with your sound
[08:44] <_tux> by default the Linux kernel doesn't carry a registry
[08:44] <nickrud_> bauer, well, I can comfortably say there is no xml command in ubuntu as such; what's it do exactly
[08:45] <x_> sometimes i haven't sound , not in startup and not in linux , anyone can help me about that ?!
[08:45] <slap_me> turn on speakers/
[08:45] <slap_me> ?*
[08:45] <_tux> x_: type: "speaker-test" inside a terminal to test the speakers
[08:46] <x_> i haven't problem with speakers .    speakers working fine
[08:46] <default_> has anyone here installed synce?
[08:46] <nickrud_> lol, x_ I have only one possible suggestion, do you have two sound cards, including maybe onboard?
[08:46] <x_> nickrud      yes
[08:46] <_tux> the sound is the issue than the problem could be that you haven't set the default sound card in Ubuntu
[08:46] <nickrud_> x_, if you can, disable the onboard then
[08:46] <multiverse> Anyone know when tribe 6 comes out?
[08:47] <x_> nickrud    how i can do that ?!
[08:47] <nickrud_> x_, in the bios of the computer, hopefully there's an option. There's a way to do that in the config, but I don't know it
[08:48] <_tux> x_: type: "asoundconf list" inside a terminal it will display a list of available sound cards then type: "asoundconf set-default-card "NAME" whereas NAME is the sound cards name
[08:48] <slap_me> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=180573
[08:48] <slap_me> ...
[08:48] <x_> nickrud   u mean i can't disable it in linux and should disable it in bios setup ?!
[08:48] <_tux> but without the quotes that is x_
[08:48] <nickrud_> x_, see _tux just above
[08:48] <mattyv> albert: perhaps you could try isomaster on the existing livecd
[08:48] <dooglus> mattg: bash is pretty good.  zsh has lots of 'cool' features
[08:49] <x_> _tux   ok ... i going 2 check it :-)
[08:49] <_tux> I gotcha
[08:49] <Rexor_Moon> hmm, for some reason, I can't run uplink through Cedega
[08:49] <ironmatar> yea i know  just seems like a lot of assuptions going around here  about somone underatnding of a diffrent os    i remeber watching and waiting everyweek for the next star trek   watched people land on the moon in real time...first onling game trek 73 on a hp 36" wider printer term in the back room of the library at 300 baud watched the original star wars on the  outdoor big screen at the drive n theater but grow up with compute
[08:50] <x_> _tux   after that command , i got this :  Names of available sound cards:
[08:50] <x_> Intel
[08:50] <x_> Audigy2
[08:50] <_tux> ironmatar: Yeah from just using Ubuntu I don't have to really worry about viruses, spyware or much of the stuff that resided on the Windows OS
[08:50] <slap_me> intel = onboard
[08:50] <slap_me> audigy = one you want to use
[08:50] <ac-town> Hey
[08:50] <x_> intel is onboard
[08:50] <x_> yes
[08:50] <_tux> x_: Intel is onboard audio just as slap_me implied
[08:50] <ironmatar> still wish for the amiga's back
[08:50] <slap_me> = )
[08:50] <slap_me> working for gateway helped me with something
[08:51] <slap_me> W00t
[08:51] <slap_me> or...soon to be acer
[08:51] <x_> _tux   i can't undrestand , i'm new in linux
[08:51] <_tux> x_: Audigy2 should be your sound card
[08:51] <ac-town> How do i get firefox to output to hw:2,0 instead of hw:0,0?
[08:51] <mattg> thx dooglus
[08:51] <_tux> which in turn is what you want to use right x_
[08:52] <slap_me> x_ now type in asoundconf set-default-card Audigy2
[08:52] <x_> ok
[08:52] <slap_me> and you are golden
[08:53] <x_> in wanna using Audiogy2
[08:53] <_tux> x_: After you typed what slap_me implied type: "alsamixer" inside a terminal to raise or lower the volume controls if alsamixer isn't installed type: "sudo apt-get install alsamixer" than use the previous command I stated
[08:53] <x_> slap_me    what's full command ?!
[08:53] <ac-town> _Tux how do i get firefox to use hw:2,0 or what ever
[08:53] <ac-town> thats my sound card
[08:53] <slap_me> x_ no work?
[08:53] <x_> slap_me nope
[08:53] <slap_me> hmm..
[08:53] <x_> nothings hgappend
[08:53] <slap_me> tux?
[08:53] <slap_me> heh
[08:54] <_tux> lol
[08:54] <_tux> ac-town: what you mean by hw:2.0
[08:54] <x_> plz tell me the full command line in terminal again
[08:54] <jetscreamer> hw:2
[08:54] <jetscreamer> it starts at 0 btw
[08:54] <_tux> x_: type: "asoundconf set-default-card Audigy2
[08:55] <madera> What is the "recommended" way to make applications autostart?
[08:55] <nickrud_> madera, gui apps?
[08:55] <_tux> oops without the quotes x_
[08:55] <slap_me> i put em in the sessions
[08:55] <slap_me> so when i boot up, it starts
[08:55] <slap_me> ..
[08:55] <madera> Yes
[08:55] <x_> oh
[08:55] <_tux> ac-town: Are you trying to configure your sound work?
[08:56] <x_> nothings happend :-(
[08:56] <ac-town> yes
[08:56] <ac-town> i have a few sound cards
[08:56] <ac-town> onboard i dont use
[08:56] <nickrud_> madera, as slap_me implied, system->prefs->sessions ;)
[08:56] <_tux> x_: It should just show nothing after you typed the command
[08:56] <ac-town> its hw:0,0
[08:56] <_tux> which means it set the default card to Audigy2
[08:56] <x_> oh ...ok .. and now i should restart !
[08:56] <ac-town> the pci one on hw:2,0 i do use
[08:57] <x_> ahan
[08:57] <slap_me> yea x_ a restart may help
[08:57] <_tux> ac-town: type: "asoundconf list" inside a terminal to display a list of available sound cards
[08:57] <_tux> without the quotes ac-town
[08:57] <ac-town> i know
[08:57] <x_> so now should i restart ?! .. ok ... just a min ;-)
[08:57] <cdiddy1> What would you guys personally recommend if I was going to get a laptop for Ubuntu? I like thinkpads due to their trackpoint, but I was trying to other opinions
[08:57] <nickrud_> x_, now I'm in familar territory.  type   alsamixer    in a terminal
[08:57] <_tux> x_: type: "alsamixer" in to a terminal then you can raise or lower the volume controls using the up or down arrow keys on the keyboard
[08:57] <ac-town> tux i have 3 it says
[08:58] <slap_me> cdiddy1, im using a gateway (maybe cuz i work there) but no bias = )
[08:58] <goodwinonline> hello
[08:58] <FusE-> rawr, upgrading Dapper to Latest release: this should be fun
[08:58] <_tux> ac-town: do you know which one is the sound card you want to use?
[08:58] <madera> And what about an app that is to run when GDK (but not before) starts? I use Synergy
[08:58] <x_> nickrud_   then ?!
[08:58] <cdiddy1> do they have trackpoint -- I cannt deal with freaking touchpads
[08:58] <slap_me> nope, touchpad
[08:58] <slap_me> i <3 touchpad
[08:58] <cdiddy1> hmm, I guess IBM is the only one
[08:58] <nickrud_> x_, as _tux said, raise the volumes with the up down arrows, right left arrows to change bars, and escape key to exit
[08:58] <goodwinonline> i went to this page http://tuxenclave.wordpress.com/ubuntu-customization-guide/
[08:58] <FusE-> Note to Self: Burn ISO of Latest Ubuntu
[08:58] <slap_me> my army recruiter has a thinkpad with that damn trackpoint, i was like 'wtf is that'
[08:59] <_tux> heh nickrud
[08:59] <ac-town> yes
[08:59] <ac-town> its on hw:2,0
[08:59] <cdiddy1> of course, ubuntu works perfet on my old thinkpad
[08:59] <goodwinonline> everything worked but Compiz Fusion
[08:59] <ac-town> my amarok is pointing to that
[08:59] <_tux> ac-town: then type: "asoundconf set-default-card "NAME" whereas NAME is the name of your sound card
[08:59] <ac-town> and theis speakers somtiems switch to hw:0,0
[08:59] <tom17bombadil> madera: you can start apps in ~/.profile at login-time
[08:59] <goodwinonline> i was in the army
[09:00] <_tux> without the quotes of course ;-)
[09:00] <slap_me> yea goodwinonline im joining. = X
[09:00] <goodwinonline> are you sure you wanna join?
[09:00] <cdiddy1> Thanks for the link, goodwinonline!
[09:00] <slap_me> not infantry, gonna do M.I.
[09:01] <ironmatar> what the heck is with package 112   27 k/b a sec dload?
[09:01] <x_> thanks ... i'll be back ... need 2 restart :-)
[09:01] <madera> Actually, the program must start after GDK, immediately.
[09:01] <x_> bye 4 now :-)
[09:01] <madera> To activate the keyborad.
[09:01] <Dave-B> Hi, How do I disable PHP extensions? E.g. mbstring is active acording to phpinfo(), but in php.ini it's already commented out. (On Fiesty)
[09:01] <goodwinonline> hmm  that could be interesting intel right
[09:01] <_tux> ac-town: if your media player is pointing to a certain sound card device and the sound doesn't work than you should configure another sound card to Ubuntu
[09:01] <slap_me> yep
[09:01] <madera> Correction: GDM
[09:01] <ac-town> i have 2 cards on alas
[09:01] <slap_me> i got a 72 on my ASVAB, so i think intel would be in my range
[09:02] <_tux> only been using Ubuntu for like 2 months at least and gotta some of it ;-) though gotta love the terminal at that
[09:02] <ac-town> how do i do that
[09:02] <nickrud_> Dave-B, look in /etc/php5/conf.d it's probably enabled in there
[09:02] <tom17bombadil> madera: as far as i see, you have to start it via startup-script
[09:02] <_tux> ac-town: by typing: "asoundconf set-default-card "NAME" as I implied before whereas NAME is the name of your sound card so something like this
[09:02] <goodwinonline> well good luck slap me do your push ups and sit ups;)
[09:02] <madera> Ok, thanks all.
[09:02] <ac-town> i did
[09:03] <slap_me> hehe will do
[09:03] <ac-town> and firefox is not outputing sound
[09:03] <_tux> ac-town: "asoundconf set-default card hw:2.0" or whatever it was
[09:03] <goodwinonline> i just wish i could get Compiz Fusion the cube to work
[09:03] <bauer> nickrud_, i found it here http://xmlstar.sourceforge.net/
[09:03] <_tux> ac-town: try setting another default sound card using that command
[09:03] <_tux> ac-town: also try typing "speaker-test" inside a terminal
[09:03] <Dave-B> nickrud_: Unfortunately not - there's an entry for pdo.so
[09:04] <Dave-B> but nothing else
[09:04] <_tux> you may receive a playback error or not
[09:04] <x_> _tux   thanks friend  , that working now :-)
[09:04] <x_> nickrud_ thanks friend  , that working now :-)
[09:04] <nickrud_> !find xmlstarlet | bauer
[09:04] <ubotu> bauer: Found: xmlstarlet
[09:04] <_tux> x_: welcome
[09:04] <nickrud_> x_, welcome, and thanks for sucking _tux into a new job ;)
[09:04] <_tux> ac-town: your sound may be muted, disabled as in (the volume is very low) or something else
[09:05] <x_> lol
[09:05] <slap_me> x_ all good now?
[09:05] <x_> slap_me   thanks dude , yeah , it working :-)(
[09:05] <nickrud_> Dave-B, sorry then, that's about the limit of my php config knowledge ;(
[09:05] <ac-town> my music is playing but not firefox
[09:05] <ac-town> :P
[09:06] <_tux> ac-town: Check your volume settings in the top right corner of gnome is an volume applet right-click on the volume applet and click on preferences make sure the right sound card is set
[09:06] <goodwinonline> so nobody knows about Compiz Fusion?
[09:06] <d4rkmonkey> !compiz-fusion
[09:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about compiz-fusion - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:06] <d4rkmonkey> !beryl
[09:06] <ubotu> beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[09:06] <nickrud_> goodwinonline, #compiz-fusion or #ubuntu-effects are better places to ask
[09:07] <d4rkmonkey> goodwinonline #ubuntu-effects would probably be a good place to ask
[09:07] <_tux> ac-town: you can also type: "alsamixer" inside a terminal from there you can raise or lower the volume using the up or down arrow keys and can move from left or right using the left or right arrow keys
[09:07] <goodwinonline> ok
[09:07] <bauer> my internetconnection don't start up after hibernate ? How do i get it up runneing ?

[09:10] <_tux> ac-town: I have yet to see a command to check if the default sound card is enabled but I'll check the man pages real quick for asoundconf

[09:15] <slap_me> without the .
[09:15] <slap_me> ./j #compiz-fusion
[09:15] <_tux> ac-town: type: "alsamixer" in a terminal then use the left or right arrow keys on the keyboard and find something called WAVE make sure that is maxed out
[09:15] <funbitz> hi, could anyone spare some time to guide me what performance tweaks (graphics effects disabling, unnecessary processes that can spare ram, etc...) could i do to make my life easier with a 866 PIII 512RAM ?? thanks
[09:16] <pyrohotdog> funbitz: what window manager do you use?
[09:16] <skinnypuppy1334> you can also choose join server in XChat
[09:16] <preaction> !mountiso | pyrohotdog
[09:16] <ubotu> pyrohotdog: To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[09:16] <pyrohotdog> I know how to mount it, but it's a video DVD, and I'd like to play it as such.
[09:16] <funbitz> i just installed ubuntu 7.04 and updated it.. so default i guess
[09:16] <d4rkmonkey> funbitz try running xubuntu
[09:16] <_tux> goodwinonline: usually you create a network in xchat and edit the network then add channel or something like that to it then log in to that network and type: /join #compiz-fusion if that's the name of it
[09:17] <d4rkmonkey> funbitz window manager uses less I think
[09:17] <preaction> pyrohotdog, iirc totem can open the folder just fine, otherwise try VLC
[09:17] <_tux> its confusing
[09:17] <_tux> for me that is
[09:17] <d4rkmonkey> funbitz you just have to install a couple packages I think
[09:17] <preaction> pyrohotdog, there's a .IFO file in VIDEO_TS that is the main one that should just work
[09:17] <d4rkmonkey> funbitz it should be fairly easy...
[09:17] <d4rkmonkey> !xubuntu | funbitz
[09:17] <d4rkmonkey> hmm..
[09:17] <ubotu> funbitz: xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels
[09:17] <d4rkmonkey> funbitz that should help a bit.
[09:18] <funbitz> d4rkmonkey: thanks a lot. i'm gonna try that
[09:18] <ac-town> yep
[09:18] <slap_me> i need to start making my ubuntu look sweet. = X its all plain jane right now
[09:18] <goodwinonline> tux i dont see why it seems so difficult to me I know xp a little I have xp and ubuntu dual boot on my hard drive but i cant figure out how to get to #compiz-fusion or #ubuntu:-$
[09:18] <ac-town> youtube is going to my onboard card
[09:19] <ac-town> im not using that
[09:19] <d4rkmonkey> funbitz I know I have a link somewhere for optimising Open Office, if you want I can search for it
[09:19] <pyrohotdog> Open the .IFO in VLC/Totem?
[09:19] <slap_me> goodwinonline, knowing os's doesnt mean you know irc
[09:19] <slap_me> = )
[09:19] <_tux> ac-town: that's weird on why it would be doing that tried resetting the sound card testing each different one throughout youtube?
[09:19] <goodwinonline> i dont know irc
[09:19] <funbitz> d4rkmonkey: if you're so kind. i'm obsessed about performance :)
[09:19] <skinnypuppy1334> goodwin <forwardslash>join #channel name
[09:19] <mattg> that didnt take too long, preaction
[09:19] <_tux> goodwinonline: you used to using xchat on ubuntu or irc in general
[09:20] <d4rkmonkey> funbitz I have nothing better to do at 3:20 AM anyways :)
[09:20] <nickrud_> funbitz, and choosing a lightweight gtk theme will help a lot; the Ice based themes are pretty fast
[09:20] <drgeb> each time i reboot the result of fdisk -l is different. why can this be happening ?
[09:20] <d4rkmonkey> funbitz just give me a bit to find the link, I forget what I did with it
[09:20] <_tux> I like Fluxbox (minimal/highly configurable)
[09:20] <goodwinonline> im new to ubunto i dont know jack i barely set this vchat up :) just when I thought i knew a little
[09:20] <hero> My Windows partitions are only readable in Ubuntu 7.04. How to make them writable, so I can save files into those partition?
[09:20] <skinnypuppy1334> I can't type in forward slash there b/c it would just add that channel and not appear for you... getit?
[09:20] <_tux> but using gnome
[09:20] <funbitz> d4rkmonkey: ok
[09:20] <_tux> goodwinonline: using xchat right now or some type of irc on Windows?
[09:21] <slap_me> mIRC on windows is the best, xchat on ubuntu owns
[09:21] <goodwinonline> irc  gaim ubuntu
[09:21] <funbitz> d4rkmonkey: can't believe you're so friendly guys around here. nice :)
[09:21] <skinnypuppy1334> xchat rocks
[09:21] <d4rkmonkey> funbitz Ubuntu community is pretty sweet ;)
[09:21] <nickrud_> I like xchat a lot, but wonder about their charging for it under windows
[09:21] <slap_me> gaim is only good for aol instant messaging = X
[09:21] <slap_me> get xchat
[09:21] <_tux> goodwinonline: never used IRC on GAIM my advice would be to install xchat
[09:22] <slap_me> sudo apt-get install xchat
[09:22] <slap_me> in terminal
[09:22] <goodwinonline> hero i think it has something to do with permissions
[09:22] <_tux> ac-town: still alive?
[09:22] <goodwinonline> ok ill install xchat
[09:22] <drgeb> how about Konversation
[09:22] <slap_me> and goodwinonline when you are done installing xchat, when you set it up, type in "/server irc.ubuntu.net"
[09:23] <hero> goodwinonline: Would you tell me how, cause I can find the answer in the Ubuntu Help?
[09:23] <slap_me> and it will log you onto this server
[09:23] <skinnypuppy1334> It's as simple as using join channel in the menu of xchat
[09:23] <slap_me> then type in /j #ubunut
[09:23] <slap_me> and you will be back here
[09:23] <nickrud_> !ntfs-3g | hero
[09:23] <ubotu> hero: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[09:23] <ac-town> ya
[09:23] <_tux> slap_me: dang that looked confusing lol
[09:23] <_tux> ac-town: try this link http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#Sound
[09:23] <slap_me> what did
[09:23] <slap_me> heh
[09:24] <_tux> typing in server names and what not through the terminal lol
[09:24] <slap_me> no no
[09:24] <goodwinonline> hero all i know is when i try do move files between partitions from windows partition to ubunto it says i dont have permissions even though im logged in as admin
[09:24] <slap_me> not in terminal
[09:24] <slap_me> i mean in xchat
[09:24] <_tux> ahhh I see
[09:24] <slap_me> omg! its 2:30am
[09:24] <d4rkmonkey> funbitz Sorry for taking so long, I didn't actually bookmark it beforem but I found it again!
[09:24] <_tux> its 12:24am and almost time for sleepy
[09:24] <d4rkmonkey> funbitz http://www.linuxjournal.com/node/8308  that should help you optimise Open Office
[09:24] <d4rkmonkey> *optimize
[09:24] <FusE-> Yay for Edgy Eft, on to Feisty Fawn
[09:25] <_tux> what about Gusty Gibbon
[09:25] <goodwinonline> ill probably such search google more
[09:25] <ironmatar> ook i still appear to ahve a working system   all i got left before cedega is the vid driver
[09:25] <nickrud_> FusE-, doing it the long way eh ;)
[09:25] <shaoli> dafkldh;ieo
[09:25] <skinnypuppy1334> Fiesty + Automatix kicks but for me
[09:25] <FusE-> yup nickrud_
[09:25] <FusE-> yup
[09:25] <FusE-> Its tedious alright
[09:25] <slap_me> imma wait for hardy heron before i upgrade from feisty fawn
[09:25] <slap_me> 8.04 for the win1
[09:26] <_tux> how about changing my irc name to _tux soundcards lol
[09:26] <nickrud_> couldn't wait, day after gutsy feature freeze, I upgraded
[09:26] <goodwinonline> tux there ya go
[09:26] <FusE-> What is feature freeze
[09:26] <funbitz> d4rkmonkey:  cool. i'm think i'm gonna get to it right away. thanks
[09:26] <_tux> I heard Automatix caused a bunch of problems with Ubuntu systems
[09:26] <elkbuntu> !automatix | skinnypuppy1334
[09:26] <ubotu> skinnypuppy1334: Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software.  When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.  A creditable analysis from a debian/ubuntu developer is here - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html (Additional information: /msg ubotu worksforme)
[09:26] <nickrud_> when they stop adding new stuff, and go back to fix everything they broke
[09:27] <FusE-> Oh
[09:27] <slap_me> i wouldnt use automatix
[09:27] <slap_me> heard nasty things
[09:27] <FusE-> You can install Gutsy now?
[09:27] <slap_me> !clamav
[09:27] <FusE-> Use automatix, its great
[09:27] <slap_me> !clam
[09:27] <slap_me> hmm
[09:27] <_tux> FusE: Yeah if you want an unstable branch of Ubuntu Gusty Gibbon
[09:27] <doug__> how do i install java?
[09:27] <nickrud_> FusE-, read http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and then say that :)
[09:27] <rockets> Anybody here use SoundConverter, (NO I DONT MEAN soundKonverter)
[09:27] <doug__> !java
[09:27] <FusE-> _tux, is it that bad to use a unstable release?
[09:27] <elkbuntu> FusE-, depends if you want it to remove all of gnome, or mess up partitoning. Both have happened in the past few days for people
[09:27] <skinnypuppy1334> Jeez, first time I tried Automatix it sucked, Gotta say it's been headache free for me
[09:28] <nickrud_> rockets, I have it installed, yes
[09:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about clamav - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about clam - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:28] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[09:28] <_tux> FusE: Yes if the install is through a production system
[09:28] <rockets> nickrud_, do you know if vbr highest quality does a V0 rip
[09:28] <_tux> FusE: But if you're just wanting to test the latest features than no
[09:28] <goodwinonline> installing java is fun i forgot how i did it tried limewire?
[09:28] <nickrud_> rockets, no
[09:28] <FusE-> Hmmm
[09:28] <FusE-> I hardly use ubuntu anymore
[09:28] <rockets> nickrud_, any idea how to do that with a gui tool?
[09:28] <mikebot> I'm trying to use 'wget' to save a page and all the links on the page, but I'm having trouble getting it to save more than one page...   I've been using -r -l 2 -k
[09:30] <skinnypuppy1334> idiot should be booted
[09:30] <ImANoobieToo> anyone know how to change the default display on an x700 from VGA output to onboard LCD?
[09:30] <FusE-> skinnypuppy1334: this is why abortion should be legalized in SOME cases
[09:31] <Hobbsee> skinnypuppy1334: the idiot *did* get booted.
[09:31] <goodwinonline> tux hows security  between ubuntu and xp with a router and cable network?
[09:31] <nickrud_> FusE-, no, that would be infanticide
[09:31] <_tux> ImANoobieToo: I'm not sure but configuring the xorg file should do the trick but who knows on how to configure it to do that
[09:31] <ironmatar> ok   the commands to run the manuel vidio driver install  i have are sudo ldconfig or lpconfig i cant read it now    and which version of the nvidia driver should i egt for the amd 64 bit sys running 32 bit ubuntu
[09:31] <troubled> he did the same in #debian and #defocus earlier too
[09:31] <ironmatar> er eget
[09:32] <FusE-> nickrud_: fine, not abortion, Pre-Death Penalty will do.
[09:32] <RandomUsr> hello there
[09:32] <_tux> goodwinonline: By default Ubuntu is more secure seeing as it doesn't allow the root account to be used other than that its got a built in firewall and doesn't have ports open by default
[09:32] <RandomUsr> hmm
[09:32] <ImANoobieToo> anyone know how to change the default display on an x700 from VGA output to onboard LCD?
[09:32] <RandomUsr> anyone here have experience installing the official Intel Linux Wireless driver?
[09:32] <_tux> using the root account could either damage the filesystem or just damage important system files if the system gets comprised and someone has access to the root account you're better off wiping the hdd
[09:33] <_tux> especially if you don't know what your doing or if a user gains access to the root account
[09:33] <FusE-> eh damn, ubuntu isn't detecting my iPod
[09:33] <goodwinonline> tux so a router with a firewall as well password protected makes the connection pretty safe right?
[09:33] <kefka> goodwinonline: Yes, it acts as an NAT firewall
[09:33] <_tux> when in XP you gain complete control over the Admin account which in turn Ubuntu doesn't give you that much power by default
[09:33] <gordonjcp> _tux: how is that different from using sudo?
[09:34] <firecraft> nice
[09:34] <_tux> goodwinonline: yes if you got a pretty strong password
[09:34] <RandomUsr> ImANoobieToo, you'll prolly have to edit your /etc/xorg.conf
[09:34] <KoaL> hi ......i have a question
[09:34] <firecraft> so it's an official help channel for ubuntu :)
[09:34] <gordonjcp> _tux: to do the same kind of damage, a malicious user only needs to compromise your user account
[09:34] <_tux> gordonjcp: sudo can be temporary
[09:34] <gordonjcp> _tux: and that helps, *how* exactly?
[09:34] <_tux> you can easily kill off the 15 minute limit sudo sets using "sudo -k"
[09:34] <nickrud_> !ask | KoaL
[09:34] <kefka> goodwinonline: Another good idea is to turn the router's remote access off, to keep others outside your network from accessing its config
[09:35] <KoaL> I am new to ubuntu....and dl the cd
[09:35] <hero> ubotu: Sorry could u tell me once again how to make windows partitions writable in the Ubuntu?:-P
[09:35] <KoaL> but it wont boot
[09:35] <firecraft> *brb*
[09:35] <kefka> !ntfs | hero
[09:35] <nickrud_> !ntfs-3g | hero
[09:35] <Stefano1337> there is absolutely no need to log in with a superuser account, sudo is the way you should operate administrative tasks on your pc,
[09:35] <_tux> gordonjcp: not saying it does help just giving out an example
[09:35] <KoaL> i updated the bios
[09:35] <nickrud_> ubotu's down hero a sec
[09:35] <firecraft> KoaL, did you download the 7.04 desktop edition or server edition ?
[09:35] <ubotu> KoaL: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:35] <KoaL> desktop
[09:35] <ubotu> hero: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[09:35] <_tux> not going to completely type out an entire documentation on how sudo works and how the root account works
[09:35] <ubotu> hero: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[09:35] <gordonjcp> _tux: there isn't really a practical benefit to sudo, in most cases
[09:35] <firecraft> oh man i have to run... i'll brb
[09:36] <RandomUsr> this room is moving way too fast
[09:36] <KoaL> i keep trying to boot from the cd
[09:36] <KoaL> but windows wont let me
[09:36] <gordonjcp> _tux: but anyway, this is offtopic
[09:36] <RandomUsr> Anyone here had the pleasure of installing intel wireless drivers?
[09:36] <KoaL> i was just curious as to how you guys did it
[09:36] <gordonjcp> KoaL: have you got your CDROM set as a bootable device in the bios?
[09:36] <KoaL> yes
[09:37] <_tux> On Unix-like operating systems, the sudo command is used to run commands with the root user's privileges. This is done by entering sudo at the beginning of each line of commands. Alternatively, one may become root (system administrator) by logging in as "root" or by using the su command.
[09:37] <goodwinonline> tux its like firewall overkill norton firewall and router firewall i wonder if it matters if I hide my ubuntu partion when i boot up i can set xp partition active but then i have to boot to a drive and unhide ubuntu partion but with ubuntu i can just log in withou the partition being active
[09:37] <_tux> there
[09:37] <mattyv> KoaL: When you burnt the cd, did you burn as an image, or just a data disc?
[09:37] <nickrud_> hero, ah, ubotu's back up, did you get the message?
[09:37] <KoaL> data disc
[09:37] <kefka> nickrud_: He did
[09:37] <RandomUsr> koal: have tou set your boot device to CD Rom?
[09:37] <RandomUsr> data DISC?
[09:37] <RandomUsr> it should be ISO
[09:37] <KoaL> aaaaaaaaaah i ceee
[09:37] <mattyv> KoaL: that's it then, you need to burn as an image. Which program do you use on Windows for burning cd's?
[09:37] <KoaL> sonic
[09:38] <RandomUsr> yikes
[09:38] <KoaL> i know
[09:38] <KoaL> : P
[09:38] <skinnypuppy1334> How do you rip a CD to an ISO in ubuntu?
[09:38] <goodwinonline> yeah you need to get a program that burns a iso image
[09:38] <_tux> goddwinonline: By default the Linux kernel as a built-in firewall called netfilter though uses the iptables program for a configuration of netfilter though there are GUIs like Firestarter to configure the firewall for ease of use
[09:38] <RandomUsr> mattyv: maybe he should use the isorecorder from softpedia?
[09:38] <KoaL> Ima use PowerISO....i think that should work
[09:38] <goodwinonline> and you dont extract the iso image onto cd rom
[09:38] <nickrud_> skinnypuppy1334, dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/path/to/iso bs=1024
[09:38] <KoaL> THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH YOU GUYS !!!!!!!!!!!
[09:39] <RandomUsr> nice
[09:39] <_tux> iptables just acts as the framework
[09:39] <_tux> you can define rules from within iptables
[09:39] <RandomUsr> koal should be back with more questions before things get running lol
[09:39] <mattyv> KoaL: no doubt poweriso will do it, now that you know what you have to do you should find the option easily
[09:39] <_tux> though it is pretty complicated
[09:39] <RandomUsr> he left mattyv
[09:39] <firecraft> _tux, sort of
[09:40] <firecraft> _tux, there are books i'd need to master iptables.
[09:40] <mattyv> RandomUsr: whoops, so he did
[09:40] <RandomUsr> lol
[09:40] <goodwinonline> tux i dont even bother with firewall to ubunto i researched it they said its not needed because like you said it doesnt really leave ports open and i dont have anything to hide anyway
[09:40] <RandomUsr> Has anyone installed the Intel Wifi Driver?
[09:40] <_tux> firecraft: for the novice/beginner I would agree but someone with experience differs completely
[09:41] <firecraft> _tux, of course.
[09:41] <_tux> goodwinonline: though if you have services enabled ports will be left open you can determine open ports using a port scanner called nmap
[09:41] <goodwinonline> tux well you just have to sit there and give permissions right
[09:41] <firecraft> i haven't played much with iptables
[09:41] <_tux> goodwinonline: netfilter is enabled by default so the firewall is on regradless unless you disabled it which I wouldn't know how to do haha
[09:42] <_tux> firecraft: Neither have I just leave it at default
[09:42] <_tux> but wouldn't mind learning iptables
[09:42] <_tux> the more you learn the better
[09:42] <firecraft> _tux, on top of which i have zorp installed ;p
[09:43] <goodwinonline> tux ive been  so tires of trying to figure out security really for know reason nothing to hide i talked to an it guy who said the only way to be safe is not to be on a network
[09:43] <Menth> omg we are all not safe :(
[09:43] <nickrud_> goodwinonline, if your box isn't locked into a case that only you have a key to, you're still not safe :)
[09:43] <goodwinonline> pretty much
[09:44] <Menth> wrap your computer in tinfoil that should do it
[09:44] <goodwinonline> well my wife doesnt know to much about it
[09:44] <firecraft> haha Menth
[09:44] <_tux> goodwinonline: you should be good if its only going to be use as a desktop
[09:44] <goodwinonline> yeah
[09:44] <_tux> but if not stay on top of the game
[09:45] <goodwinonline> tux ok appriciate that ill try to learn more
[09:45] <_tux> bugs, vulnerabilities, exploits, sql injections and all kinds of other stuff
[09:45] <_tux> welcome
[09:45] <goodwinonline> tux in xp i found a program called peer gaurdian it was pretty cool
[09:45] <firecraft> _tux, i didn't realize sql injection mattered to linux box
[09:46] <_tux> goodwinonline: never used it before but heard of it
[09:46] <michaelpo> i just installed weather wallpaper... why only status icon only? not showing at the wallpaper?
[09:46] <_tux> firecraft: it doesn't but if you are going to be using a server and use either MySQL or PostgreSQL than its pretty much a big deal
[09:46] <CraZy675> I've got mp3s working for amarok, how do I get mp3s working for musicbrainz?
[09:46] <preaction> peer guardian is for p2p programs, it blocks known RIAA/MPAA/govt. IP blocks
[09:46] <_tux> the only reason I see to use peerguardian is if your residing in a college
[09:47] <firecraft> _tux, i do have mysql installed to all fairness, how does that leave me vulnerable ?
[09:47] <goodwinonline> preaction what do you think of that program peer gard
[09:47] <_tux> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sql_injection firecraft here you go
[09:47] <preaction> goodwinonline, i think it works for its purpose
[09:48] <goodwinonline> preaction which is what its just good for p2p
[09:48] <_tux> vulnerabilities exist in every program every made once you fixed a bug a new one usually appears without the user knowing or with the user knowing
[09:48] <_tux> same as bugs
[09:48] <_tux> its just the nature of computers
[09:48] <firecraft> _tux, thanks and i thought, iptables and zorp then running mysql on localhost only wouldn't give out much security holes.
[09:48] <_tux> nothing is perfect
[09:48] <_tux> welcome
[09:49] <_tux> enable daemons aka services as known in (XP) that you don't use
[09:49] <arooni__> folks; i need a ftp client with a gui interface
[09:49] <arooni__> whats the best
[09:49] <goodwinonline> tux why cant ubuntu run xp games?
[09:49] <_tux> oops disable daemons
[09:49] <preaction> firecraft, just avoid running untrusted programs that interface with the SQL server. it's not the server that's the problem, it's stupid programmers and their "professional web site system"
[09:49] <michaelpo> goodwinonline: install wine
[09:49] <preaction> goodwinonline, linux is not windows.
[09:49] <firecraft> goodwinonline, depends, do you have wine installed?

[09:50] <_tux> goodwinonline: preaction just answered your question
[09:50] <ubotu> arooni__: FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd
[09:50] <Menth> or you can install the cvscedega
[09:50] <goodwinonline> no i never herd of wine
[09:50] <firecraft> preaction, ahh yes.. figured as much. :)
[09:50] <arooni__> scipio, which is the best
[09:50] <preaction> !best | arooni__
[09:50] <ubotu> arooni__: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[09:50] <_tux> though Wine can be used to run Windows programs though they won't run as nearly as good as a native Windows OS
[09:51] <goodwinonline> really lenux is not windows yeah but if you wanna play better games than like chess whats a guy to do
[09:51] <arooni__> preaction, ok; which is the simplest to use... built in nautifilus?
[09:51] <firecraft> _tux, i have a feeling we'll see wine in the coming months mature a great deal and not depend on Windows OS for gaming.
[09:51] <FusE-> eh
[09:51] <_tux> goodwinonline: it all depends some people might just want an OS for games, programming, modifying a kernel like the Linux kernel, or something completely different
[09:51] <michaelpo> goodwinonline: you install linuxchess
[09:51] <FusE-> Ubuntu won't automount my iPod, it used to.
[09:52] <goodwinonline> dont get me wrong i like ubuntu i just wish i could use it completely which would be run my games
[09:52] <preaction> in the last year i've noticed a lot more *nix-native games coming out
[09:52] <preaction> !games
[09:52] <ubotu> Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
[09:52] <VICZ> What is the command to open the quit menu / and or just quit / logout?
[09:52] <firecraft> preaction,  not only that but also that we'll have wine support directx.
[09:52] <preaction> wine already does support directx
[09:52] <_tux> I switched over to Ubuntu cause much of the stuff on Windows I didn't seem to use
[09:53] <_tux> and also experienced nothing but problems
[09:53] <firecraft> preaction, it does, but still not polished to the far edges to play some of the games i have on vista meh
[09:53] <preaction> its D3D support is lacking, and it's only at dx7 or so (last i knew)
[09:53] <ironmatar> i attempted manuel install of video driver however it said something wasent installed  lb somebthing?
[09:53] <Surger> My ext3 file system went a bit haywire and now every time I run apt-get it moans about broken packages. How do I re-install them? I tried apt-get install -f libmad0 but it says the package is already up to date.
[09:53] <_tux> also I love the open-source philosophy
[09:54] <CraZy675> !musicbrainz
[09:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about musicbrainz - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:54] <ironmatar>  need to run sudo ldconfig  or lbconfig?  is that the right command
[09:54] <Surger> goodwinonline: You can check out Cedega too if you're willing to pay a bit. http://games.cedega.com/gamesdb/
[09:54] <Menth> you can get cedega for free if you use the cvs version
[09:54] <pretender> i need to output the resauls of the top command (CPU Useage) to post on a forum.  How can i do this
[09:54] <firecraft> cedega isn't free btw.
[09:55] <goodwinonline> tremulous is about the coolest ubuntu game ive found
[09:55] <scipio> ironmatar, why not install the driver that's in the repos. or follow a guide from the wiki page
[09:55] <Surger> Menth: A new windows user + source code ...  :)
[09:55] <VICZ> help, what is the command to exit / logout of ubuntu? or at least open the menu to do so?
[09:55] <_tux> alright guys time for me to head too bed goodnite everyone and hopefully your issues have been solved ;-)
[09:55] <Menth> i figured it out and im new to linux wasnt to bad
[09:55] <preaction> VICZ, you don't have the menu anymore?
[09:56] <preaction> Menth, when it goes good, it's not bad at all. when it goes bad, then it's hell
[09:56] <Menth> true
[09:56] <VICZ> preaction -- i'm trying to get rid of the menu to replace it with a macos-like dock. (Avant-window-navigator)... I'm trying to add a "quit" menu to the dock, don't know which command to enter.
[09:56] <goodwinonline> surger thats the thing i dont want to pay ive payed 100's for my favorite ea games and my wifes cheap :) and im 38 too so eh i dont know:-!
[09:56] <Menth> i almost gave up twice :D
[09:56] <ubuntu> hey in ubuntu 5 . .
[09:56] <ubuntu> wht is password
[09:56] <ironmatar> because it wont be in rep until gutsy   iv been informed by somone that firsted helped me that teh gigbyte 8500 requires a full manuel install  however something sient configued for the file to run yet
[09:56] <ubuntu> for root
[09:56] <preaction> !enter | ubuntu
[09:56] <ubotu> ubuntu: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[09:56] <preaction> !root | ubuntu
[09:56] <ubotu> ubuntu: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[09:56] <goodwinonline> later tux you rock
[09:57] <Menth> just do sudo su
[09:57] <ubuntu> k thanks
[09:57] <ironmatar> i finnally have a stable updated ubuntu  n i really would love to get my game working
[09:57] <preaction> VICZ, theoretically, CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE does it, but that's the hard way
[09:57] <VICZ> preaction -- is that considered an actual reboot?
[09:57] <scipio> ironmatar, then maybe you should use pastebin to post your error and have someone take a look at it
[09:57] <preaction> VICZ, no, that shuts down X11
[09:57] <ubuntu> thanks.. menth
[09:58] <ubuntu> it worked
[09:58] <firecraft> VICZ you can try ~$ sudo reboot
[09:58] <VICZ> firecraft -- thanks again!!!!! you saved me last time
[09:58] <firecraft> rofl ok VICZ didn't know you were asking for reboot or just logout
[09:58] <scipio> VICZ, for reboot: sudo shutdown -r now
[09:59] <Menth> What game ironmatar?
[09:59] <firecraft> sudo shutdown -r now is like telling the OS shutdown then restart .. what's wrong with the similar command sudo reboot scipio ?
[09:59] <pretender>  i need to output the results of the top command (CPU Usage) to post on a forum.  How can i do this
[09:59] <scipio> firecraft, nothing didn't see your replied :)
[10:00] <firecraft> scipio ;)
[10:00] <michaelpo>    firecraft: ctrl-backspace
[10:00] <firecraft> michaelpo i like command lines better than hitting shortcuts :)
[10:01] <Menth> do you use a shortcut to open up the terminal ?
[10:01] <ubuntu> i am trying to install my grub .. but i am getting this error.. .grub-install /dev/hda
[10:01] <ubuntu> /dev/hda: Not found or not a block device.
[10:01] <Menth> /dev/sda ?
[10:02] <firecraft> Menth heh good question, that'd be clicking the console
[10:02] <ubuntu> its /dev/hda only. .
[10:02] <Menth> so you have a ide drive?
[10:02] <Menth> not a sata or scsi?
[10:02] <ubuntu> ya
[10:02] <Menth> k
[10:03] <scipio> pretender, "top > topreport" then hit q and open the topreport file with a text editor
[10:03] <ubuntu> but i hv windows on hda1 .. its file system is ntfs...
[10:03] <ubuntu> is it the problem
[10:03] <Tex-Twil_> hello
[10:03] <firecraft> hmm.. know what i think guys?
[10:03] <preaction> ubuntu, no. grub is installed in the MBR, which is "before" any partitions.
[10:04] <kele> hi,all
[10:04] <firecraft> ubuntu probably has a single drive and forgot to defrag the windows os.
[10:04] <ubuntu> means.. i didnt get
[10:04] <ironmatar> the error i gets is libc header files not installed  please install libc dev pkg for your distro
[10:04] <ubuntu> so wht shall i do know
[10:04] <Polysics> i have this new HD in an external USB enclosure which is not formatted. i'd like to, but i can't find the correct path to pass to mkfs
[10:04] <haka1> cwe_girll tulen lo!!!!
[10:04] <firecraft> ubuntu am i correct what i said?
[10:05] <ubuntu> iya....
[10:05] <ubuntu> ya..
[10:05] <ubuntu> its true
[10:05] <preaction> Polysics, it will probably be one of the /dev/sd* drives, otherwise plug it in and check "lsusb" or "dmesg" to see what node gets made for it
[10:06] <firecraft> ubuntu might as well defrag windows fist then install ubuntu otherwise ubuntu installer tends to mess up while allocating space from the shared windows os.
[10:06] <ironmatar> is sudo lbconfig the command i need to run before gdm stop?
[10:06] <preaction> ironmatar, did you apt-get install libc-dev ?
[10:06] <scipio> ironmatar, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[10:06] <Menth> sudo first!
[10:06] <preaction> ironmatar, for that matter, did you apt-get install build-essential?

[10:07] <ubuntu> this is my partition table
[10:07] <preaction> ubuntu, no. bad.
[10:07] <firecraft> preaction how are you guys with other flavors of *nix ?
[10:07] <preaction> firecraft, that'd be off-topic in #ubuntu
[10:07] <firecraft> ahh
[10:07] <ironmatar> will build essental get everthing or do i need the lib-devs to?
[10:08] <preaction> but i'm fluent in Open/FreeBSD, and okay in some flavors of Red Hat
[10:08] <scipio> ironmatar, probably. get that and try again
[10:08] <preaction> ironmatar, apt-get install build-essential will tell you what packages it's going to install. if "libc-dev" isn't one of them, do it afterward
[10:08] <ironmatar> thanks
[10:09] <arun> is banshee significantly better than rhythmbox?
[10:09] <preaction> !better | arun
[10:09] <ubotu> arun: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[10:09] <preaction> arun, freedom of choice. I prefer rhythmbox
[10:09] <arun> yeah, i know that. i'm just asking for opinions :)
[10:10] <arun> i'm not asking which one is absolutely better
[10:10] <firecraft> rhythbox was pretty crap at first, now with feisty i like that whole lot better.
[10:10] <preaction> arun, form your own opinion. run them both for a while

[10:56] <Bo1> paddy:let me check am dwonloading something right now
[10:56] <gronbaek> Yeah, I just tried changing KDE's sound system from "auto detect" to ALSA, and now it keeps restarting the sound system.

[11:11] <unics> hmm
[11:12] <Menth> so if you do cp etc/X11/xorg.conf etc/X11/xorg1.conf to back it up
[11:12] <unics> how can i see if my internet connection is working ?
[11:12] <Menth> then sudo nano etc/X11/xorg.conf you can read the file and edit it out and try to work out which one will work :D

Could it be something with timezones and windows messin
