[05:26] <Tsukasa> hey guys, is anyone here familiar with getting ubuntu to install on raid arrays? im sitting here on the livecd with ntfs-3g and dmraid installed
[05:26] <kozo> ubuntu but kubuntu also
[05:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Thanks
[05:27] <Viaken> Madnez: Ahhhh ok...well, anyway, the typical command to make and install just about anything is to cd to the folder and "./configure && make && make install"
[05:27] <SlimeyPete> Jamesinator: for free space, type df -h
[05:27] <Jamesinator> SlimeyPete: Thanks.
[05:27] <Jack_Sparrow> eon_: How many times did I tell him to use the pastebin
[05:27] <Adlai> Tsukasa: you need to use the alternate CD
[05:27] <Viaken> Viaken: make/compile
[05:27] <[TnT] Neo> Could anybody help me with installing my geforce 6600 drivers on my ubuntu 7.04?
[05:27] <LadyNikon> so
[05:27] <Tsukasa> Adlai: why is that?
[05:27] <LadyNikon> can anyone take a look at this for me.
[05:27] <Madnez> yeah but how does the command work?
[05:27] <LadyNikon> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3364102#post3364102
[05:27] <Adlai> because it has support for installing to software raid
[05:27] <Viaken> Madnez: As in, what's it do?
[05:27] <Madnez> i mean typing just make doesnt work right?
[05:27] <Adlai> and the normal install CD doesn't
[05:27] <Madnez> no
[05:27] <Madnez> make (filename?)
[05:27] <LadyNikon> while you are looking at that
[05:27] <Tsukasa> Adlai: are you referring to dmraid?
[05:27] <PriceChild> !paste | eon_
[05:27] <ubotu> eon_: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:27] <Adlai> yes
[05:28] <Tsukasa> Adlai: i installed it on the livecd
[05:28] <Tsukasa> its working
[05:28] <turbotoast> sorry to ask again, guys, bu this is driving me absolutely nuts: I can connect if I turn encryption off, but if I turn it on, it won't work, even if I give the correct key. Can someone help me, because I tend to get lost between /etc/network/interfaces and such stuff
[05:28] <LadyNikon> can someone tell me how to get colors in vi
[05:28] <Adlai> yes, but the installer on the normal livecd doesn't support installing to a raid array
[05:28] <[nrx] > turbotoast: that's the exact same problem i have
[05:28] <turbotoast> LadyNikon: try typing ":sy on" without quotes
[05:28] <LadyNikon> turbotoast: sy?
[05:28] <Adlai> I know, it seems annoying and non-intuitive
[05:28] <turbotoast> [nrx] : well, hello ten :D
[05:28] <Viaken> Madnez: By default, make looks for Makefile in order to know what to make. ./configure sometimes generates that, or does other nice "setting up" things... and the command I gave you was wrong, it'd be "./configure && make && sudo make install"
[05:28] <LadyNikon> turbotoast: lemme try that.. they had something different
[05:28] <turbotoast> LadyNikon: worked on mine. turns syntax highlighting on
[05:29] <Tsukasa> Adlai: ohh. cant i just make the partition via terminal and do a .... whats that debian command for changing where apt-get installs to
[05:29] <[nrx] > try iwconfig <iface> essid <essid> enc <key>
[05:29] <Tsukasa> Adlai: and just apt-get the entire installation
[05:29] <eon_> jack_sparrow: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37424/
[05:29] <Viaken> [TnT] Neo: I think the nvidia drivers are in multiverse, if you enable it.
[05:29] <turbotoast> [nrx] : already did so
[05:29] <Tsukasa> Adlai: debootstrap
[05:29] <Madnez> ...
[05:29] <Adlai> Tsukasa: well you can always perform the whole installation yourself
[05:29] <Jack_Sparrow> eon_: How many times did I tell you to use the pastebin...
[05:29] <Madnez> ook
[05:29] <Madnez> i'm still lost
[05:29] <turbotoast> [nrx] : but let me try another time. do I have to do ifdown, ifup or something like that?
[05:29] <Adlai> that should work fine
[05:29] <Madnez> which command should i even use?
[05:29] <LadyNikon> yay
[05:29] <Viaken> Madnez: If you just type what I gave you, it'll do its thing. "./configure && make && sudo make install", then you can type "vulture" to run the game.
[05:29] <LadyNikon> turbotoast: thanks
[05:29] <Madnez> i've learnt that sudo is admin command
[05:30] <[nrx] > take it down first, try the iwconfig then back up again
[05:30] <Tsukasa> Adlai: that seems easier given that its like 3 or 4 terminal commands
[05:30] <[nrx] > seeif that works
[05:30] <LadyNikon> turbotoast: they had si on .. in another forum :/
[05:30] <turbotoast> LadyNikon: no problem
[05:30] <turbotoast> [nrx] : okay, let me try that. gimme a second.
[05:30] <Jack_Sparrow> eon_: You didnt paste the important part
[05:30] <kozo> @SlimeyPete i tryed to install the 64 bit version of ubuntu and kubuntu also but it freezes on both
[05:30] <eon_> jack_sparrow: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37427/
[05:31] <Madnez> "./configure && make && sudo make install"
[05:31] <shaffy> does anyone know a quick aptitude/apt-get command to uninstall the gnome/ubuntu desktop?  (i'm running kubuntu now on a previous ubuntu laptop)
[05:31] <Madnez> bash: ./configure && make && sudo make install: No such file or directory
[05:31] <Viaken> Madnez: Don't surround it with quotes
[05:31] <Jack_Sparrow> eon_: No... you are missing the last half of your xorg
[05:31] <Madnez> even without it doesnt work
[05:31] <Viaken> Madnez: tell me what "pwd" says
[05:32] <suwandhi> hi

[05:36] <Viaken> Madnez: Should take you to the folder...
[05:36] <neozen> hey there all
[05:36] <Jabberwock> Madnez: That's good! You've taken your first step into a larger world.

[05:36] <Viaken> Madnez: For future reference, "ls" lists what's in the current directory.
[05:36] <Madnez> crap!
[05:36] <Jack_Sparrow> suwandhi: :  Do this    gedit  /etc/X11/xorg.conf                in a terminal   and paste it to the pastebin

[05:37] <Jabberwock> Madnez: I have present for you: http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/~jbattat/computer/linuxReferenceCard.pdf
[05:37] <Viaken> Madnez: Yeah. That takes getting used to, too. :)
[05:37] <fermatstheorem> hello all. How do i set key bindings for compiz? how do i navigate the desktop cube?
[05:37] <Viaken> Jabberwock: Nice!
[05:37] <Jabberwock> Thanks! I googled it myself :D
[05:37] <ninhobomba> fermatstheorem: do alt-f2 and write ccsm
[05:38] <Jabberwock> Actually that is a good reference card.
[05:38] <Jack_Sparrow> fermatstheorem:  Ask in #Ubuntu-effects
[05:38] <Viaken> fermatstheorem: ctrl-alt click+drag will move the cube, by default.
[05:38] <LadyNikon> so..
[05:38] <eon_> Jack_Sparrow: the problem is...I've never had a performance that low...the image is clear...but its slow...very very slow
[05:38] <neozen> when I close the lid once X is started up.... display won't come back on when opening it again...
[05:38] <suwandhi_> now, to setup the resolution?
[05:38] <ninhobomba> fermatstheorem: thats settings for compiz... eaach effect has its own settings.. just look at the tabs
[05:38] <Jack_Sparrow> eon_: How much ram do you have in the laptop
[05:38] <Jabberwock> neozen: Try pressing that lil thing that shuts your display off
[05:38] <Jabberwock> Hold it down for 2 seconds and release
[05:38] <Viaken> Madnez: After you get into the directory ...err...you'll need to install build-essential, so "sudo aptitude install build-essential"
[05:38] <Jabberwock> see if the screen comes back on
[05:38] <eon_> Jack_Sparow: 1Gb
[05:38] <neozen> Jabberwock: which thing is that?
[05:38] <LadyNikon> ubuntu is stating requesting a wep key for a wap that has no wep. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3364102#post3364102
[05:39] <Jabberwock> neozen: The thing that the lid hits when you close it.
[05:39] <suwandhi_> I can't install 915resolution
[05:39] <fermatstheorem> thanks. ctl+atl+drag works for beryl for me, and not for compiz. the gl-desktop pref doesnt seem to have an toptoin to set it
[05:39] <neozen> ah... ok... will try
[05:39] <Wikzo> I got an Acer Aspire 3680 laptop. When I use Ubuntu 7.04 it use a lot more power than Windows XP. Is there a way to get better battery life on my machine?
[05:39] <Jabberwock> On my acer laptop it's a little rubber peg sticking up above my function keys
[05:39] <eon_> Jack_Sparrow: 1Gb
[05:39] <Kwanun> what's gdk
[05:39] <Kwanun> sorry
[05:39] <Kwanun> gtk
[05:39] <Jabberwock> GIMP tool kit
[05:39] <Viaken> Jabberwock: On my Toshiba, it's a switch built into the case. I can't reach it without a paper clip. :P
[05:39] <Jack_Sparrow> eon_: I dont have any answers.  I do see a fair number of people with sis that are not happy with the quality of the drivers
[05:39] <LadyNikon> !gtk
[05:39] <ubotu> GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI
[05:39] <Jabberwock> Viaken: :(
[05:39] <Madnez> nice!
[05:40] <Madnez> ok seems im getting online updates
[05:40] <Jabberwock> Madnez: Print that out and read it. Sleep with it under your pillow. Record your voice repeating everything and give yourself auto suggestive lessons while you sleep.
[05:40] <Kwanun> so gtk themes is a gnome theme?
[05:40] <Viaken> Madnez: *nods* it'll take a second...not as long as the compile, though, but we'll get to that.
[05:40] <Kwanun> !gnome
[05:40] <ubotu> gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop.
[05:40] <Madnez> lol?
[05:40] <Jabberwock> Oh you think I'm kidding.
[05:41] <Jabberwock> LadyNikon: I love your D90
[05:41] <Viaken> Madnez: Let me know when you're ready for more. :)
[05:41] <eon_> Jack_Sparrow: well...thanks anyway! =)

[05:45] <freepenguin> hello
[05:46] <robdeman> is there some sort of graphical dir tree / dir size tool?

[05:46] <LadyNikon> Suxdavid3: see that link
[05:46] <Madnez> before im clueless... now at least i can fiddle a bit
[05:46] <Zenerek> Suxdavid3 you don't need to compile just install wine through synaptic
[05:46] <digitalspaghetti> I get these errors:  http://pastebin.digitalspaghetti.me.uk/20  <--- I need to set up my local, can anyone help?
[05:46] <ltz> Can you somehow show the Userlist permanently with X Chat or can you suggest me any mirc-likes?
[05:46] <Suxdavid3> one time i've installed synaptic how can i install wow?!?!
[05:47] <Stwange> hey can anyone help me? I'm trying to get nm-applet running on my system tray. I tried ps aux | grep nm-applet, and it shows "nm-applet --sm-disable" running, but it's not in gnome. I tried "kill 6003", then "nm-applet", but the terminal just hangs. I tried ALT-F2 -> "nm-applet" but it just shows it running on ps, it still doesn't run
[05:47] <LadyNikon> Suxdavid3: read that link that was posted to install wine
[05:47] <dennda> ltz: move your mouse to the right-hand-side of xchats window and pull the userlist from there to the left
[05:47] <Zenerek> Suxdavid3 for basics on starting with ubuntu visit www.ubuntuguide.com
[05:47] <urilockz> is there some sort of site where i can download all the useful programs i need, I just reinstalled and it will take hours to find them all
[05:47] <JuliusMensing> Hello, anybody knows how to get Ubuntu started in VMWare Player?
[05:48] <Madnez> btw
[05:48] <Madnez> guys hwo do i dual boot?
[05:48] <ltz> dennda: it isnt there at all
[05:48] <Madnez> i have the ubuntu normal and recov and windows
[05:48] <Viaken> Madnez: You installed Ubuntu over Windows?
[05:48] <dgjones> !dualboot | Madnez
[05:48] <Veinor> my camera only works with v4l2; what programs can I use to take a pictures after a set amount of tiem? (say, 10 seconds)

[05:48] <faileas> JuliusMensing: either get a premade vm, or make a config file at easyvmx.com
[05:48] <Viaken> ah...nifty
[05:48] <r2r4> join #man
[05:48] <Madnez> thanks
[05:48] <dennda> Madnez: depends on your situation. If Windows XP is preinstalled and you want to install ubuntu on the free disk space remaining, grub will automatically detect it and install a bootloader
[05:48] <Madnez> did that
[05:49] <faileas> JuliusMensing,  personlly vmware player sucks, server works better , and the same great ( 0 ) price
[05:49] <Madnez> but no bootloader
[05:49] <JuliusMensing> faileas, thanx a lot!!! :D
[05:49] <Madnez> it just separates ubunto with win
[05:49] <dennda> ltz: It sometimes is hidden on the right hand side. Try to shrink the xchat window by dragging the right edge to the left
[05:49] <Madnez> ubuntu
[05:49] <Stwange> ltz, try dragging the user list out from the right hand side
[05:49] <yurimxpxman> does the lpr command support ODT files?
[05:49] <faileas> JuliusMensing: what host (curious)
[05:49] <Stwange> damn you dennda :)
[05:49] <dgjones> ltz, are you using xchat or xchat-gnome?
[05:50] <ltz> oh, xchat-gnome
[05:50] <dennda> Stwange: yeah sorry man. ;)
[05:50] <Viaken> Madnez: Do you mean have both running at the same time? Dual booting is just having both on the system and being able to select one at boot time.
[05:50] <ltz> didn't know there was a difference, suggest me any cool irc clients? I've used mirc on windows
[05:50] <Madnez> aww damn
[05:50] <polycarp> #splunk
[05:50] <dennda> ltz: I do not like xchat-gnome. IMHO normal xchat is *much* better
[05:50] <dgjones> ltz, i use xchat, easy to install via synaptic
[05:51] <Madnez> thought simultaneous booting
[05:51] <Stwange> ltz, personally, I preferred xchat once I got used to it. Just try dragging the user list out from the right hand side like suggested, and that should help you
[05:51] <dennda> ltz: xchat (without -gnome) actually is a cool irc client (I do not use it, since I am a irssi fanboy, but I like it.)
[05:51] <ltz> got it
[05:51] <Reikachu> does anyone knowledgeable feel like talking to me about improving my laptop's battery life for a bit?
[05:51] <Viaken> Madnez: That is possible, but comes at a cost, and it's hard to do with a Windows install on the hard drive.
[05:52] <polycarp> join #splunk
[05:52] <Madnez> yeah i know
[05:52] <H3g3m0n> Reikachu:  You can try the new dynamic ticks kernel, and powertop
[05:52] <Stwange> sorry to repeat but, can anyone help me? I'm trying to get nm-applet running on my system tray. I tried ps aux | grep nm-applet, and it shows "nm-applet --sm-disable" running, but it's not in gnome. I tried "kill 6003", then "nm-applet", but the terminal just hangs. I tried ALT-F2 -> "nm-applet" but it just shows it running on ps, it still doesn't run
[05:52] <Madnez> if i use wine or cedega it's work
[05:52] <ltz> brb
[05:52] <Viaken> Madnez: The cost is one or the other has to be slower with no 3d acceleration.
[05:52] <Madnez> even wm
[05:52] <LadyNikon> please 2 halp with wireless.. <sigh>
[05:52] <Reikachu> H3g3m0n: thanks, I'll look into it
[05:52] <Madnez> lolz
[05:52] <fermatstheorem> Reikachu: in kubuntu with kde powemanagemtn you can set which power profile to run
[05:52] <dennda> Stwange: Is the notification tray active in your panel?
[05:52] <Madnez> then theres no way to play some of my nice win games on linux =.=
[05:52] <Stwange> dennda, yeah
[05:52] <Reikachu> fermatstheorem: already played with power profiles
[05:52] <Madnez> sob sob
[05:53] <ltz> got my userlist now, thanks
[05:53] <Madnez> wine doesnt work well with all 3d intense games
[05:53] <dennda> ltz: yw
[05:53] <Viaken> Madnez: wine and cedega run Windows programs, but won't run windows. wine and cedega both support 3d acceleration...somewhat. :)
[05:53] <Madnez> yeah
[05:53] <Madnez> but they need win installed =.=
[05:53] <Madnez> my drive 80 gig was pure win
[05:53] <Madnez> cleared 1/4 for ubuntu
[05:54] <ltz> for wow cedega cvs would be best I'd say
[05:54] <Madnez> now need to figure how to remove 60 gig more =.=
[05:54] <Viaken> Madnez: I've had 3d intensive games work fine in wine. Many people play Counterstrike: Source, Half Life 2, or World of Warcraft in wine/cedega.
[05:54] <Madnez> ook
[05:54] <LadyNikon> eve-online runs in wine :D
[05:54] <bony> i have an all-in-one laserjet printer every thing is working fine. but i don't know how to configure fax in it. I read about hylafax but it say's that this is for serial port were as my printer is in network as well as connected through usb cable. i could send fax from the printer itself its work but i need to configure a system from which i could send and receive fax
[05:54] <Madnez> so do i still need to install win even though its on the com?
[05:54] <H3g3m0n> Reikachu:  Also you can use those cpu frequency adjusters and also undervolt the cpu
[05:54] <faileas> Madnez: delete things you don't need. use jkdefrag to defrag ;p
[05:54] <Meroigo> My ubuntu says I'm not priveleged to mount cd roms.. :P so I can't browse cd-roms normally... I have to write in terminal: sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom to be able to use cdroms =P
[05:54] <Reikachu> I've played with backports HAL, laptop-mode-tools, cpufreq governor profiles and vm.swappiness and squeezed it to about 2:30 - 3 hours
[05:54] <Meroigo> isn't there like a fix?
[05:54] <faileas> wine and cedega don't 'need' windows. they can use windows dlls
[05:54] <Meroigo> So I don't have to do terminal things to view a CD
[05:54] <Meroigo> :S
[05:54] <neozen> well Jabberwock that didn't work... computer just thought I closed the lid and wouldn't turn the display back on
[05:54] <Andeh> What is wrong with people!? I said that the meatballs I just ate tasted delicious and they banned me from #ubuntu-offtopic because I used a synonym that they thought was offensive, but is not.
[05:54] <Viaken> Madnez: Does it not show up in the GRUB menu? That first menu you see at boot?
[05:55] <Andeh> I used the word "faggot" which originally means "meatball"...
[05:55] <fermatstheorem> H3g3m0n: where can i find cpu freq adjusters in ubunutu?i've used yast in suse to do it.
[05:55] <Zenerek>  Madnez:  counterstrike? shooters linux has now if it could only run other games
[05:55] <Madnez> lolz
[05:55] <Madnez> yeah boot sees windows
[05:55] <Andeh> They just assume you hate homosexuals for no reason at all...
[05:55] <linux__alien>  i am using Ubuntu 7.04 and i want to establish a TCP Session within a PC infact i want to simulate TCP Connections as if my machine is connected to 10 peers.  I moved the original contents elsewhere and just stuck in a blank shellscript...
[05:55] <Madnez> was a bitch to remove
[05:55] <Viaken> Madnez: Then you should just have to select it...
[05:55] <Zenerek> oops that was not meant for anyone in general
[05:55] <Reikachu> H3g3m0n: I'm using ondemand and monitoring it atm
[05:56] <Stwange> anyone have any idea about my network monitor?
[05:56] <Skiessi> they removed the ban, I think
[05:56] <Madnez> ubuntu helped me clear most of it but the bootup still has it =.=
[05:56] <ltz> anyone knows why my gdesklets window stays just grey after starting? not even a menu, just the normal window buttons
[05:56] <Stwange> I can tell you the commands I used to get rid of it if that helps...
[05:56] <Madnez> .... i like ubuntu!
[05:56] <Viaken> Stwange: Try "kill -9"?
[05:56] <Madnez> i just want win when i need the games :D
[05:56] <H3g3m0n> fermatstheorem:  I think its cpufreqd, its probally installed by default but on my system it doesn't seen to actually run even though it should work, ive never bothered to look into it too much
[05:56] <Madnez> not gonna bother loading it forever...
[05:56] <fermatstheorem> H3g3m0n: the cpufreqd command?
[05:56] <Viaken> Madnez: Like I said, you should be able to select it on boot up.
[05:56] <Madnez> =.= restart for a game
[05:56] <Madnez> sigh...
[05:56] <slint> can someone help me get my xserver working?
[05:57] <dennda> Madnez: try virtualizing it...
[05:57] <slint> i have an ati radeon x1200 card
[05:57] <Viaken> Madnez: Yep. :\ That's the current state of things until game devs decide Linux is a viable market.
[05:57] <Stwange> Viaken, same thing happens
[05:57] <Madnez> which one?
[05:57] <fermatstheorem> H3g3m0n: cpufreq-selector is available
[05:57] <Madnez> windows?
[05:57] <slint> i got it working, then restarted and it stopped working
[05:57] <dennda> yes
[05:57] <Madnez> heck no via!
[05:57] <Reikachu> H3g3m0n: the thing that helped the most was HAL backports to get proper backlight support
[05:57] <fermatstheorem> Reikachu: did you try cpu-freq-selector
[05:57] <Viaken> heck no?
[05:57] <H3g3m0n> fermatstheorem:  Hmm looks like it isn't on by default, apt-get install cpufreqd
[05:57] <Madnez> once they think linux is viable, we'll get viruses
[05:57] <Viaken> lol
[05:57] <Madnez> popularity = chaos :D
[05:57] <Zenerek> Madnez: there is a file  i forgot where that has the boot up options, you should just have to remove longhorn from the list
[05:58] <Reikachu> fermatstheorem: I looked at cpufreq governance policies for a while, monitored it and decided the default ondemand policy was probably the best
[05:58] <dennda> oh definitely....
[05:58] <Madnez> stay strong and low = awesome
[05:58] <ltz> anyone knows why my gdesklets window stays just grey after starting? not even a menu, just the normal window buttons
[05:58] <neozen> Jabberwock: have narrowed the problem to X since closing and reopening display on XDM's screen doesn't exhibit the same behavior..
[05:58] <Tsukasa> do you guys reccommend the amd64 release?
[05:58] <Tsukasa> does it work well
[05:58] <somedude> is ubuntu good
[05:58] <ltz> I'm using amd64
[05:58] <dennda> Tsukasa: No *I* don't
[05:58] <neozen> ...wait... s/xdm/gdm/
[05:58] <Reikachu> fermatstheorem: in practice ondemand runs me at my lowest frequency, 1ghz the majority of the time
[05:58] <ltz> no problems so far
[05:58] <H3g3m0n> fermatstheorem, Reikachu: Looks like there is powernowd and cpufreqd, im not sure what the diffrence is but they seem to override each other. powernowd is the default
[05:58] <ltz> everything just works great on amd64
[05:58] <fermatstheorem> Reikachu: i was a control freak with my old laptop,i had hard set it to run at 750Mhz :p it gave me 3.5 hrs
[05:59] <Tsukasa> ltz, okay, and amd64 works on intel 64 bit chips too right
[05:59] <somedude> does ubuntu get new software or only old stuff like debian
[05:59] <Reikachu> fermatstheorem: I think 1ghz is the lowest supported by my chipset
[05:59] <ltz> right
[05:59] <Zenerek> Madnez: hmm i've wondered about that virus theory myself....
[05:59] <dennda> Tsukasa: No advantages (for the normal user) but software that doesn't work on 64bit (like flash). Last time I checked...
[05:59] <Tsukasa> ltz, because i know for a while there was a difference between amd64 and intel64
[05:59] <ltz> I've got intel core2duo too
[05:59] <fermatstheorem> H3g3m0n,Reikachu:is there a frontend for cpufreqd as found in yast of suse?
[05:59] <Tsukasa> dennda, flash works on 64bit o_0
[05:59] <Tsukasa> i think
[05:59] <Reikachu> fermatstheorem: yes but it doesn't work by default because you have to chmod a file or two
[05:59] <dennda> Tsukasa: since?
[05:59] <Tsukasa> ltz right?
[05:59] <Viaken> Madnez: Linux does make it a bit harder to get viruses, though. The correct use of administrative rights helps a lot.
[06:00] <ltz> well, I think it does
[06:00] <dennda> Tsukasa: does it work the easy way? (Yet I do not see any advantage of using 64-bit...)
[06:00] <H3g3m0n> fermatstheorem: apt-cache search cpufreq shows some utils and applets that might be what you want
[06:00] <Meroigo> My ubuntu says I'm not priveleged to mount cd roms.. :P so I can't browse cd-roms normally... I have to write in terminal: sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom to be able to use cdroms =P isn't there like a fix so I can use cdroms without having to write stuff in the terminal?
[06:00] <ltz> let me check
[06:00] <Tsukasa> dennda, its 1337er
[06:00] <Jabberwock> you can edit /etc/fstab
[06:00] <Tsukasa> dennda, and theoritically faster
[06:00] <Jabberwock> And add the user option (man fstab)
[06:01] <Jabberwock> please excues my enter abuse, neverblue :P
[06:01] <dennda> Tsukasa: Only if one of your programs needs >4GB memory.
[06:01] <ltz> err for me flash works dennda
[06:01] <Tsukasa> dennda, not true
[06:01] <Viaken> Madnez: Granted, there's still going to be people who'll gladly download and run "CHECK OUT THIS COOL SCREENSAVER" mail attachments from strangers, but I do believe Linux has a better chance of resisting malware.
[06:01] <Reikachu> fermatstheorem: I found http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/11/04/enabling-cpu-frequency-scaling/ helpful
[06:01] <dennda> ltz: ok that may have changed. It's been long since I last checked.
[06:01] <LadyNikon> ubuntu is stating requesting a wep key for a wap that has no wep. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3364102#post3364102
[06:01] <fermatstheorem> Reikachu, H3g3m0n: thanks
[06:01] <Madnez> ok its done
[06:01] <dennda> Tsukasa: What other advantage does 64-bit provide *at the moment* in terms of speeding up your system?
[06:01] <ltz> tsukasa: if you like opera, you gotta use a alpha or the i386 though
[06:02] <slint> someone please help me figure this one out
[06:02] <Madnez> viaken, linux already stops adware!
[06:02] <Viaken> Madnez: Try typing "vul" and hitting TAB.
[06:02] <Madnez> whatelse can i ask for? :D
[06:02] <fermatstheorem> Reikachu: i have done this when i used Redhat -changing it manually
[06:02] <Viaken> hehehe
[06:02] <Tsukasa> dennda, watch the leopard keynote, jobs shows off 32bit imaging program vs 64bit... the 64bit finished like like 1/9th the time
[06:02] <Madnez> nope
[06:02] <Madnez> tell me the kind of file i'm lookin for
[06:03] <Reikachu> fermatstheorem: what I thought was most relevant was the bit at the bottom telling you to reconfigure the gnome-applets package to set the suid correctly
[06:03] <dennda> Tsukasa: well this is not #apple.
[06:03] <Tsukasa> dennda, thats assuming the app is built for 64bit... most apps just use it for a marginal speed gain
[06:03] <Otacon22> how can i convert a mpg video into a divx ?
[06:03] <Viaken> Madnez: It should just be a command at this point. Try "ls /usr/games"
[06:03] <Tsukasa> dennda, im not saying it is, its just a good demonstration
[06:03] <Viaken> Oh hold on...I'll just download the package myself and see what the command is. lol
[06:03] <ltz> anyone using gdesklets?
[06:03] <Hohlraum> is there a fix for the flash issue where you have to keep another flash video paused at all times in another window to keep it from crashing firefox?
[06:03] <Madnez> no vulture..
[06:03] <Reikachu> fermatstheorem: I think it should let you select cpufreq speed through the default Panel applet
[06:03] <Madnez> =.=
[06:03] <Tsukasa> dennda, theres a big difference between *supporting* a technology and actually using it well
[06:04] <Madnez> theres a make file here
[06:04] <fermatstheorem> Reikachu: could you please explain what i shoudl do the the gnome-applets?
[06:04] <Jabberwock> Hohlraum: I don't have that issue.
[06:04] <dennda> Tsukasa: As far as I know it doesn't have any advantages. I may be mistaken. I will verify this myself. (Yet it is annoying if you need Software that isn't available for the 64-bit platform.)
[06:04] <H3g3m0n> dennda:  64bit only really helps with some specific tasks, such as video encoding, compression and such. Some people claim it seems snappier (it felt a bit that way to me). Also you can have more than 4gb of ram. But things like flash and some video codecs can be a bit of a pain to use (although its improved recently)
[06:04] <Grungebunny> itz yes
[06:04] <fermatstheorem> Reikachu: i did see one applet that displays feq
[06:04] <Hohlraum> Jabberwock: you use the repo flash or auto-installed via firefox?
[06:04] <Tsukasa> dennda, well, if your running winblows, the viruses arent compatible either ;)
[06:04] <axz> !flash
[06:04] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[06:04] <fermatstheorem> Reikachu: cpu freq scaling moinitor
[06:04] <Viaken> Hohlraum: I have that problem, too.
[06:04] <dennda> Tsukasa: I am not. By the way, H3g3m0n backs me up here ;)
[06:05] <Vegar> When I installed Ubuntu (Gutsy Gibbon), I accidentally installed grub in the MBR. Is there a backup of the original MBR?
[06:05] <ltz> grungebunny: any clue why my gdesklets windows stay grey after starting? no menu either (anyway its LTZ)
[06:05] <Wikzo> What is laptop mode, and how do I use it in Ubuntu 7.04? Is there anything I should know about it before trying it?
[06:05] <Reikachu> fermatstheorem: I haven't tried this but if I understand the article correctly that applet should also allow you to select freq, but does not by default due to permissions. If you run sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets and answer "Yes" to the question regarding setting the suid of cpufreq-selector to executable
[06:05] <Jabberwock> Hohlraum: Actually I couldn't even tell you. It was some long, drawn out process because I'm using the 64bit feisty
[06:05] <Grungebunny> ltz oh I dunno I never had that problem. check the forums?
[06:05] <fermatstheorem> Reikachu: awright will try now
[06:06] <Reikachu> fermatstheorem: it should work. There are some other interesting blogs about this on google. The bug he links to explains why it is not active by default
[06:06] <Reikachu> fermatstheorem: I have to go but good luck
[06:06] <ltz> Grungebunny: window is supposed to have the title "gdesklets shell" though right?
[06:06] <Reikachu> fermatstheorem: he also explains what to do using chmod instead of dpkg-reconfigure, if that's preferable
[06:07] <Grungebunny> ltz yes the gdesklets gui does
[06:07] <fermatstheorem> Reikachu: but, wouldn't that be kinda userfriendly, to allow the applet to do it?
[06:07] <ltz> Grungebunny: just stays grey.. guess I've to look for it on the forums, thanks anyway
[06:08] <r2r4> hello!i wanna a manpages-dev of tar.gz format, or some else except .deb--|  i went to google, but i found nothing i wanted...anyone can help me ?? plz ..there are some online docments,but i want to download one copy to install onmy computer
[06:08] <Common2> Guys,  shouldnt the Ubuntu team develop some way of distrubuting updates and packages through bittorrent,
[06:08] <Common2> and use their central server to validate everything with hash checks
[06:09] <Madnez> viaken so done too? :D
[06:09] <fermatstheorem> Common2: that prevents nasty folks like me to inject a cute rootkit in the updates
[06:09] <NOT_guru> well   has anyone tried the new vid drivers from ATI?
[06:09] <NOT_guru> err
[06:09] <NOT_guru> amd
[06:09] <NOT_guru> err DAAMIT
[06:09] <Viaken> Madnez: Had to wait for it to download.
[06:10] <Common2> well, thats what the hash checks are for
[06:10] <H3g3m0n> bittorrent already does hashchecking anyway
[06:10] <Madnez> hehe
[06:10] <Madnez> yeah guessed as much
[06:10] <Viaken> Madnez: Did you "make nethack-home" or "make home" or what?
[06:10] <faileas> bittorrent is relatively slow compared to a good direct download ;)
[06:10] <Madnez> anyway not sure what im looking for now :D
[06:10] <Madnez> uhh nope
[06:10] <Viaken> faileas: Not if you get a good torrent. I frequently max out my connection with them.
[06:10] <Madnez> i have several versions of the old nethack...
[06:11] <Viaken> Madnez: Have you done the make command yet?
[06:11] <Madnez> not sure if i should remove or keep them
[06:11] <Common2> Can't all the linux distrs come to some agreement to this,  this way  updates and package downloads would be much faster
[06:11] <Common2> And the Ubuntu servers handle all the validations seamlessly
[06:11] <faileas> Common2: there won't be distros if they were all the same ;)
[06:11] <Madnez> how does the make work?
[06:11] <Viaken> Common2: Different people have different needs from their package managers.
[06:11] <H3g3m0n> Common2:  The problem with bittorrent is it requires people to upload, which means the torrents will need to remain active after the update is downloaded
[06:11] <Viaken> Madnez: You can keep them. Apparently vultures defaults to installing in your home directory.
[06:11] <fermatstheorem> Common2: thats the ecosystem, choice makes the species resilient to change
[06:11] <Common2> well, yea,  i know a lot of ppl who leave their pcs on 24/7
[06:11] <Madnez> make: Nothing to be done for `nethack'
[06:12] <linux__alien> how do i install Sun Java in Ubuntu?
[06:12] <Zenerek> faileas: i have not noticed such a difference, of course my speed suck, any examples?
[06:12] <linux__alien> can i install this package?
[06:12] <linux__alien> 2sdk1.4
[06:12] <linux__alien> Blackdown Java(TM) 2 SDK, Standard Editio
[06:12] <Viaken> Madnez: "make home"
[06:12] <H3g3m0n> Common2:  Also places like Australia have caps on the amount of data you can transfer and will even charge you excessive amounts for going over
[06:12] <Madnez> nope
[06:12] <Madnez> nothing
[06:12] <fermatstheorem> linux__alien: synaptic is ur friend
[06:12] <Common2> h, and is anyone from toronto  here
[06:12] <faileas> well personally
[06:12] <faileas> gotten torrents up to 20-30 kbps
[06:12] <linux__alien> fermatstheorem, yes i tried and got this package just want to know whether i can install this package ? 2sdk1.4
[06:12] <linux__alien> Blackdown Java(TM) 2 SDK, Standard Edition
[06:12] <Common2> cuz on october 26-27 i think is the opensource conference,  at York university
[06:12] <linux__alien> coz it says some Blackdown Java ?
[06:12] <faileas> with a direct download, up to 100 kbps? ;)
[06:13] <Viaken> I'm hoping conary catches on. Or deltup with Gentoo. Both transfer only the changes of each upgrade, rather than retransferring the entire package. It's verrrrrry nice.
[06:13] <faileas> blackdown is the gny java methinks
[06:13] <faileas> gnu
[06:13] <Viaken> IIRC, blackdown's not open source.
[06:13] <Common2> I tried the new sabayon dvd,  it's pretty fucking awesome
[06:13] <Viaken> !blackdown
[06:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about blackdown - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:13] <Common2> isnt blackdown the java replacement thingy
[06:14] <fermatstheorem> linux__alien: if you are 32bit ahd have enabled restricted repos you can get sun's own jre and sdk
[06:14] <usser> hey hey
[06:14] <H3g3m0n> Viaken:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackdown_Java
[06:14] <Viaken> Madnez: No? ...are you in Desktop/vultures-3.1.0?
[06:14] <Madnez> yeah kinda
[06:14] <Common2> What advantages would there be to using 64bit,  if you have like 4gb of ram,  would the system now be able to use it all?
[06:14] <Zenerek> faileas: well 23.kbytes sex is the best i can get torrent or direct pisses me because i'm supposed to have minimum 500 kbit a sec
[06:14] <maj> are there any repos that have libc6 >= 2.3.6-6
[06:14] <Viaken> kinda? lol
[06:14] <Madnez> renamed it :)
[06:14] <maj> ?
[06:14] <Viaken> Madnez: What's the output of "pwd"?
[06:15] <Viaken> "Despite widespread confusion, Blackdown is neither free software nor open-source software."
[06:15] <Madnez> make: Nothing to be done for `nethack'
[06:15] <gnomefreak> maj: dont change the version of libc6 on your system
[06:15] <faileas> Zenerek: you NEVER get as advertised
[06:15] <Madnez> sktop:~/Desktop/vultures$
[06:15] <Viaken> Madnez: What's "ls" show?
[06:15] <gnomefreak> maj: its unsafe and will break alot if not everything
[06:15] <man> rls
[06:15] <Common2> list
[06:15] <man> ls
[06:15] <Madnez> haha
[06:15] <Madnez> doc and nethack
[06:15] <Zenerek> faileas: yeah they say minimum 500 max 1000
[06:15] <Madnez> same as just now
[06:15] <man> chinese?
[06:15] <maj> gnomefreak, see, i cant install the latest clamav unless i update
[06:16] <doug__> hello?
[06:16] <Viaken> Madnez: Hold on...
[06:16] <maj> or is there a solution that doesn't involve building from source
[06:16] <maj> ?
[06:16] <doug__> i have a question
[06:16] <Madnez> must be missing something
[06:16] <gnomefreak> maj: if its not in the repos for your system like feisty-updates than dont play with it
[06:16] <doug__> about he printer setup for ubuntu
[06:16] <SEppl> http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9777136-7.html?tag=head
[06:17] <Viaken> maj, libc upgrades basically require recompiling the whole system.
[06:17] <Madnez> btw
[06:17] <axz> guys whats link for firefox 32 on 64bit
[06:17] <Madnez> where you get vul 3.1?
[06:17] <Madnez> thought 2.1 latest :D
[06:17] <Viaken> Madnez: Typo :)
[06:17] <Madnez> ahh
[06:17] <Madnez> was thinking site not updated.... or soemthing
[06:18] <msingh> anyone running ubuntu on amd64?
[06:18] <Viaken> Madnez: Ok, you're going to have to get the full package, I think. :(
[06:18] <Viaken> Madnez: Rather than just the nethack-only one
[06:18] <Madnez> haha
[06:18] <Madnez> unix?
[06:18] <fermatstheorem> msingh: i run 64bit ubuntu on my core2duo
[06:18] <Madnez> i have the unix package
[06:18] <Zenerek> Madnez well maybe it was a typo but you don't always get the latest apps if you go by the standard repos
[06:19] <Madnez> tried the add/remove
[06:19] <Madnez> no vulture
[06:19] <Madnez> only falcon
[06:19] <Viaken> Zenerek: He's trying to build the latest from source.
[06:19] <msingh> fermatstheorem, cool. anyting in particular to watch out for? how is the package support?
[06:19] <linux__alien> how do i enable restricted repos in Ubuntu
[06:19] <linux__alien> i need to install SUN Java
[06:20] <msingh> linux__alien, editing /etc/sources.dist
[06:20] <Viaken> msingh: Flash can be a bit of a pain.
[06:20] <fermatstheorem> msingh: the only problem is sunjre plugin for firefox
[06:20] <msingh> er, etc/apt/sources.dist
[06:20] <fermatstheorem> msingh: you might want to install 32 bit firefox if you want sun jre and flash
[06:20] <Viaken> msingh: I thought it was /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:20] <msingh> ah i see.. well i dont expect to have flash work properly anyway :)
[06:20] <Delta> where can I find help about AssaultCube?? My problem is that I try to run it but nothing happends ... I just cant execute it
[06:20] <Zenerek> Viaken; still my point is that you gotta go of the standard repos sometimes
[06:20] <fermatstheorem> msingh: flash works fine in 32 bit
[06:20] <msingh> Viaken, yes you are right, my memory is failing me
[06:20] <JuJuBee_> I have a usb->db9 converter so I can use minicom to console to a router.  When configuring minicom, what /dev do I use for it?

[06:22] <michael> I'm new to Ubuntu and need to delete a file, but get a message that says i'm not the "owner", can some one help?

[06:24] <linux__alien> should i add something explicitly . If so where should i do in the third party tab?
[06:24] <Viaken> Madnez: Based on what you're telling me, it sounds like the version you got was just Vulture's Eye...which doesn't seem to come with any build scripts. :(
[06:24] <Madnez> yeah

[06:30] <DroNix> hi I just did an update and now I have no audio. can anyone help?
[06:30] <msingh> xconfigurator or something like that
[06:30] <ZeroA4> msingh, there is one from xorg (xorgcfg i think) and others from drivers like nvidia settings
[06:31] <fermatstheorem> msingh: sax2 in suse is wonderful, theonly option we have now is system->pref
[06:31] <dpml> ok - with 1173 people here - maybe someone knows how to configure ubuntu fiesty to play off the rack DVDs - I've tried everything in the readme files, I've gone though all of the ubuntu forums and installed X, Y and Z - but MoviePlayer still puts up the less than helpful dialog - "Totem cannot play this type of media (DVD) because you do not have the appropriate plugins to handle it.".  Is there anyone out there who can help?
[06:31] <Viaken> DroNix: What did you update from? to? Do you know what changed?
[06:31] <msingh> fermatstheorem, yes but that's close to useless .. it doesn't let me choose the native res of my lcd :(
[06:31] <H3g3m0n> msingh:  There is System>Prefrences>Screen Resolution but that will only work if the xorg.conf has the resolution in it already
[06:31] <msingh> ZeroA4, cheers, will try that.
[06:32] <DroNix> I installed everything from the update, when I restarted I had to reinstall my wireless driver and now I have no sound
[06:32] <fermatstheorem> msi
[06:32] <msingh> yes?
[06:32] <predaeus> dpml, did you install libdvdcss2?
[06:32] <e\ectro> has anyone created a kickstart / automated ubuntu install using feisty?
[06:32] <fermatstheorem> msingh: sudo dkpg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-org
[06:32] <dpml> predaeus: checking now
[06:32] <Viaken> DroNix: Were you changing from Edgy to Fiesty or was it usual updates?
[06:32] <Viaken> dpml: Be warned that libdvdcss2 may be illegal in the US.
[06:32] <DroNix> usual updates
[06:33] <msingh> fermatstheorem, i'll try that once i've finished downloading my 64bit live cd :)
[06:33] <DroNix> I have fiesty, just updated some stuff
[06:33] <DroNix> fiestey is 7.04 right?
[06:33] <dpml> I have  libdvdcss2 installed
[06:33] <neozen> ok all.. how does one get a laptop to stop noticing when its lid has been closed without modifying the hardware?
[06:33] <fermatstheorem> anybody knows to how change shadow depth in beryl?
[06:33] <maj> can i use debian repos for ubuntu?
[06:33] <predaeus> dpml, try installing vlc and try to play the dvd with that player
[06:34] <dpml> ok
[06:34] <Viaken> DroNix: It is. Did linux-* get updated?

[06:34] <ubotu> also dpml (libdvdcss2 is in the official repos by now): For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[06:34] <DroNix> well yeah, I install fiesty first, when to updates, installed them, and now I have no sund
[06:34] <DroNix> *sound
[06:34] <fermatstheorem> dpml: you also have to donload appropriate gstreamer plugins
[06:35] <bruenig> predaeus, css is not in the official repos
[06:35] <DroNix> how can I uninstall my sound driver update
[06:35] <predaeus> bruenig, oh, well then I might just have added seveas. Sorry for the wrong info then. (dpml)
[06:35] <Kazero> Hey all, quick question. I want to dual boot my windows an ubuntu copies. Heres the kicker: I know how to, but I lost my ubuntu CD. I also dont have any blank CDs or a USB key large enough to hold ubuntu. Any way to start the install from windows?
[06:35] <Viaken> DroNix: Open a terminal and type "lspci | grep audio"
[06:36] <Viaken> Kazero: Wubi. Let me get the site for you. It's unsupported, though.
[06:36] <Madnez> guys
[06:36] <Viaken> !wubi
[06:36] <ubotu> wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[06:36] <Madnez> i found this black potion but auto pickup doesnt take it
[06:36] <Madnez> oops
[06:36] <Madnez> wrong channel
[06:36] <ColdFyre> i updated to tribe 5, now evolution no longer auto filters emails..i made sure the option is checked, removed/readded account even
[06:36] <fermatstheorem> Kazero: you need some isntall medium to kick off install from boot-up
[06:36] <DroNix> viaken: now what?
[06:36] <Viaken> Kazero: http://wubi-installer.org
[06:36] <Kazero> Viaken: Thanks. This will let me install 7.04 correct? Even 6.06 and doing dist upgrade would work I suppose.
[06:37] <Viaken> Kazero: It installs 7.04, yes.
[06:37] <fermatstheorem> Kazero: you might want to think about netboot
[06:37] <Viaken> DroNix: What did it output?
[06:37] <DroNix> nothing
[06:37] <ianm_> any recommendations for disk encryption?  something that works with any kernel version (ie not truecrypt) ?
[06:37] <Viaken> DroNix: That's a new one for me. I'm afraid I can't help you. :\
[06:38] <Augustus_Kolya> DO NOT USE WUBI
[06:38] <Augustus_Kolya> :P
[06:38] <Viaken> o.o
[06:38] <DroNix> viaken: is there a way to uninstall my audio driver update?
[06:38] <Oswy> Hey, I'm having a problem with Synaptic, can someone help me please?
[06:38] <Viaken> !mask
[06:38] <Kazero> fermatstheorem: Explain this netboot. Ive never heard of it before
[06:38] <ubotu> Tor & other common anonymizing proxies get abused to attack & spam Ubuntu channels, so they're blocked. Get a cloak from Freenode instead, and stop wasting your time with Tor: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks

[06:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about masking - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:38] <Oswy> None of the packages are showing up at all.
[06:39] <Augustus_Kolya> Wubi is slow and as soon as you use system updates, it'll break
[06:39] <Kazero> Augustus_Kolya: Really? Darn.
[06:39] <Oswy> I can paste the error message if needed.
[06:39] <Viaken> Augustus_Kolya: I just installed and ran system updates and it works... It is slow, tho.
[06:39] <Augustus_Kolya> that link was written by me, I tried it
[06:39] <Augustus_Kolya> it has a custom HAL Daemon
[06:39] <Viaken> ew
[06:39] <Augustus_Kolya> but system updates tries to overwrite it with a normal one
[06:39] <fermatstheorem> Kazero: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot
[06:40] <maj> can i use debian repos for ubuntu?
[06:40] <Stwange> sorry to repeat but, can anyone help me? I'm trying to get nm-applet running on my system tray. I tried ps aux | grep nm-applet, and it shows "nm-applet --sm-disable" running, but it's not in gnome. I tried "kill 6003", then "nm-applet", but the terminal just hangs. I tried ALT-F2 -> "nm-applet" but it just shows it running on ps, it still doesn't run. I'm actually tempted to do a reinstall just for that
[06:40] <Augustus_Kolya> then HAL can't initialize
[06:40] <dfgas> what is better of just these 2 cards, fx5200lp 128meg agp or a 9200se 128meg agp?
[06:40] <Augustus_Kolya> maj: I would SERIOUSLY advise not using Debian repos for Ubuntu
[06:40] <fermatstheorem> Kazero: ia m afraid even for this, u need some install meduim. you can download minimal install stuff and do ti
[06:40] <Oswy> Anyone? It should be a pretty quick fix, just adding something in a file somewhere, but I have no idea how.
[06:41] <Augustus_Kolya> maj: In fact, never install a foreign repo unless it's one you trust, and only has a particular package or two
[06:41] <bruenig> Oswy, close the gui pacifier and do "sudo apt-get update"
[06:41] <Augustus_Kolya> like Winehq
[06:41] <Viaken> Kazero: Best find yourself some install medium, then. lol
[06:41] <Oswy> bruenig: I'll try that, thanks.
[06:41] <plus_M2> I'm having trouble changing my default shell from tcsh to bash in my school account
[06:41] <jaro> Hey guys... can anyone help me to setup a wireless printer ??
[06:41] <Kazero> fermatstheorem: Problem is I have no medium. I do have a 6.06 64-bit copy, but it wont install on my laptop (Core Duo, which I thought had EM64T)
[06:41] <Scunizi> I loaded wine for both Dapper & Feisty (gnome) and when I run winecfg the text in the configuration box is TOTALLY un-readable. Does anyone know of a fix?
[06:41] <H3g3m0n> Might be possible to fix Wubi by transferring it onto a real partition: http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html
[06:41] <plus_M2> When I try to run chsh it gives me the error "chsh: *myname* not found in /etc/passwd"
[06:41] <Augustus_Kolya> kazero: 64-bit should work
[06:41] <Augustus_Kolya> kazero: does it kernel panic?
[06:41] <fermatstheorem> Kazero: core duo is em64t
[06:42] <Augustus_Kolya> or just skip the CD and head into Windows?
[06:42] <Oswy> bruenig: Didn't work.
[06:42] <Oswy> Still have the same error message.
[06:42] <Oswy> "E: The package virtualbox needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[06:42] <Oswy> E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report."
[06:42] <Viaken> Oswy: Looks like you'll have to download the virtualbox deb again and reinstall it.
[06:42] <Oswy> k, so how do I do that?
[06:43] <Viaken> Or remove it entirely...
[06:43] <Viaken> Oswy: How did you install it the first time?
[06:43] <Oswy> I...have no idea.
[06:43] <Oswy> Sorry.

[06:47] <simone_> how can i get a registration?
[06:47] <Oswy> So Viaken, how do I just reinstall all my packages?
[06:47] <Viaken> Oswy: I'd recommend "aptitude remove virtualbox" then "aptitude update" and "aptitude upgrade"
[06:47] <Viaken> Then you can "aptitude install virtualbox" if things go well.
[06:47] <fermatstheorem> simone_: hi. could you be specific?
[06:47] <Oswy> OK, thanks.
[06:48] <Sijmes_> my feisty isnt recognising usb sticks anymore ...?
[06:48] <Viaken> ninnemana: Do you know what partition is your root install?
[06:49] <ninnemana> yeah
[06:49] <tomm1> do you know these three volume control buttons on most notebooks? well, since the last kernel upgrade the small volume popup comes, but it says that volume is at 0%. i also can't mute the sound. everything else works
[06:49] <ninnemana> i mounted my ext3
[06:49] <ninnemana> it's hdb1
[06:49] <Oswy> Viaken: "E: I wasn't able to locate a file for the virtualbox package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package. (due to missing arch)
[06:49] <Oswy> E: Couldn't lock list directory..are you root?"
[06:49] <Viaken> DroNix: I've had problems with my laptop and a STAC9200, but I have an nvidia chipset. Try searching ubuntuforums.org with "HDA ATI SB" and STAC92xx?
[06:49] <Oswy> wtf
[06:50] <Viaken> ninnemana: Ok...one second
[06:50] <DroNix> viaken: ok thx
[06:51] <Viaken> Oswy: You'll have to sudo all those, sorry, but that doesn't look like it's going to work... How about "dpkg -r virtualbox"?
[06:51] <Oswy> I did sudo those.
[06:51] <Viaken> ninnemana: Did you mount it to /mnt or /media?
[06:51] <tomm1> can anyone help with my sound problem?
[06:51] <ninnemana> mnt
[06:51] <Oswy> " Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
[06:51] <Oswy>  reinstall it before attempting a removal.
[06:51] <Oswy> Errors were encountered while processing:
[06:51] <Oswy>  virtualbox"
[06:51] <fermatstheorem> tomm1: i suggest warm water and salt :-P
[06:52] <fermatstheorem> tomm1: could you be more specific please
[06:52] <jose> hello
[06:52] <Viaken> ninnemana: "sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/hdb1/dev && sudo mount -t proc none /mnt/hdb1/proc && sudo chroot /mnt/hdb1 /bin/bash" then "sudo grub-install"
[06:53] <Viaken> Should work unless you have /boot on another partition, in which case you'll need to mount /boot before grub-install. :)
[06:55] <axz> guys where to find repos of all other software for ubuntu?
[06:55] <selutha> need some help with fglrx driver install, I followed the guide here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI and when do a fglrxinfo it does say that the opengl vender string is ATI Technologies Inc. but when i run fglrxgears i get very low frames 250ish. Checking the Xorg log file i see this line: AIGLX: reverting to software rendering the only error i see before it is AIGLX error: dlsym for __driCreateNewScreen_20050
[06:55] <selutha> 727 failed (/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so: undefined symbol: __driCreateNewScreen_20050727). At this point i am getting lost on what to do next. Any one got a pointer?
[06:55] <tek-ops> here's a question
[06:55] <Nevermind> hey guys, how do i install Kubuntu aswell as my Ubuntu tht i got and be able to use both?
[06:55] <tek-ops> is it worse to eat McDonalds, at McDonalds or just as bad if you bring it back to work?  or worse to bring back?
[06:55] <ninnemana> when u run grub-install it tells me install_device not specified
[06:55] <tomm1> fermatstheorem, i have a realtek 862 soundcard provided by my intel chipset, it isnt supported by alsa, so i have to patch the sources at every kernel upgrade. this has always worked perfectly. since last kernel upgrade 2.6.20-15 -> <IP_ADDRESS>, the sound still works after recompiling the alsa-module, but when i press the volume control keys, the small popup says that volume is at 0% although it is at about 60%. theres no reaction (except
[06:55] <tomm1> the popup) to pressing the volume buttons
[06:55] <Oswy> So Viaken, is there a way to just wipe/reinstall the package in itself?
[06:55] <neverblue> Nevermind, so you want to use KDE and Gnome, basically
[06:56] <Nevermind> neverblue, yeh
[06:56] <Viaken> ninnemana: Ah, sorry. "sudo grub-install /dev/hda" probably.
[06:56] <tomm1> fermatstheorem, i'm on feisty with gnome
[06:56] <Moduliz0r__> is it just me or is the default Ubuntu CD creator a complete load of crap that fails at every disc?
[06:56] <H3g3m0n> tek-ops:  I think its bad eitherway, try KFC instead
[06:56] <Viaken> Oswy: Have you changed your repos recently?
[06:56] <fermatstheorem> tomm1: ok...
[06:57] <fermatstheorem> tomm1: is alsamixer working fine?
[06:57] <Oswy> No, I just needed to check it out a while back and encountered this error.
[06:57] <neverblue> Nevermind, sudo aptitude install kdesktop (I believe)
[06:57] <tomm1> yes
[06:57] <Moduliz0r__> how would I burn an iso in Ubuntu Live CD?
[06:57] <roadfish> how do I make an image of a DVD onto my harddrive and then have kaffiene/mplayer/etc play from that image?
[06:57] <tomm1> the only thing is this popup and that theres no reaction on the buttons
[06:57] <neverblue> sorry, Nevermind
[06:58] <selutha> P.S. Is aiglx due to beryl? if so I want to remove it any pointers on that?
[06:58] <neverblue> its sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[06:58] <neverblue> !beryl | selutha
[06:58] <ubotu> selutha: beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[06:58] <Moduliz0r__> how would I burn an iso in Ubuntu Live CD?
[06:58] <n3pla> the restricted driver must what gave me the use of my sd card... is there a place I cab get the deb or rpm and install it in mandriva instead of ubuntu
[06:58] <blubloblu> Moduliz0r__: how many cd-drives do you have?
[06:58] <H3g3m0n> Moduliz0r__:  You probally need to install gnomeburner or brasero which should install onto a livecd enviroment without problems
[06:58] <fermatstheorem> tomm1: i had had an unsupported audio card, but patching it made the volume controls work...
[06:58] <Moduliz0r__> I have 2 CD drives
[06:58] <fermatstheorem> tomm1: strange..
[06:59] <Moduliz0r__> I can't install anything because I'm in the live CD
[06:59] <Viaken> Oswy: Let me poke around a bit here.
[06:59] <fermatstheorem> tomm1:system->pref->sound?
[06:59] <H3g3m0n> Moduliz0r__:  Installing works fine on the livecd
[06:59] <neverblue> Moduliz0r__, actually you can
[06:59] <Moduliz0r__> really?
[06:59] <blubloblu> Moduliz0r__: you should be able to install stuff
[06:59] <Oswy> k. thanks
[06:59] <Moduliz0r__> ok gnomeburner...
[06:59] <Sijmes> my feisty wont recognise usb sticks ..?
[06:59] <Moduliz0r__> gnomeburner isn't on synaptic
[07:00] <ninnemana> Viaken: "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device."
[07:00] <ColdFyre> isn't it gnometoaster?
[07:00] <H3g3m0n> Sijmes:  Check 'dmesg | tail' from the console after inserting one
[07:00] <Viaken> ninnemana: *nods* ok "sudo mount /boot && sudo grub-install /dev/hda" lol
[07:00] <Moduliz0r__> ill try that

[07:01] <tomm1> NET||abuse, which value do you want to set?
[07:01] <Moduliz0r__> ok
[07:01] <neverblue> NET||abuse, maybe try in #apache and in #php ?
[07:01] <tomm1> NET||abuse, not every php.ini value ist allow to be set in .htaccess files
[07:01] <Moduliz0r__> my Windows just ate it's anus, so I'm fed up and it's time to move back to ubuntu.

[07:02] <tom94130> hi, I have a problem with update manager, can anyone help?
[07:02] <fermatstheorem> tomm1: system > preferences ->sound
[07:02] <neverblue> !ask | tom94130
[07:02] <ubotu> tom94130: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:03] <Moduliz0r__> what console command would I do to list my CD Drives?
[07:03] <neverblue> Moduliz0r__, do you have no other options ?
[07:04] <tom94130> thanks neverblue, ok, I have an update stuck in update manager, it wants to update version x.x to version x.x, the same version; if I run the update it seems to work, but udpate manager says I still have the same update waiting
[07:04] <Moduliz0r__> no other options to do what?
[07:04] <neverblue> what you want to do
[07:04] <Moduliz0r__> I just need to see which drive is which
[07:04] <Viaken> tom94130: Is it compiz? :P
[07:04] <Sijmes> it seems to be there .. is in gnome partition editor too just doesnt auto mount to desktop anymore ..did 2 days ago ..?
[07:04] <ninnemana> Viaken: "mount: can't find /boot in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" any ideas?
[07:04] <rafaelscj> Moduliz0r__, nano /etc/fstab maybe
[07:04] <Moduliz0r__> ok
[07:04] <tom94130> clear the update, it has been run and it is a little annoying to keep being reminded that I have an update
[07:05] <Viaken> ninnemana: Ah...don't suppose you know what partition it is? You can "sudo parted /dev/hdb" and type "p" to show your partition table for that drive.
[07:05] <neverblue> tom94130, in synaptic ?
[07:05] <tom94130> yes
[07:05] <[nrx] > lala :)
[07:06] <Sijmes> hi
[07:06] <Sijmes> is this allowed ...?
[07:06] <ninnemana> wait, what partition what is?
[07:06] <Viaken> Oswy: Don't suppose you know what version it was?
[07:06] <neverblue> tom94130, unselect the package, so its not trying to install it
[07:06] <Madnez> gonna sleep
[07:06] <Madnez> need sleep
[07:06] <neverblue> tom94130, or just remove/reinstall it
[07:06] <Madnez> be back later, ciao
[07:06] <[nrx] > question: why is it the only way i can get the network up and running here at home is by using iwconfig. Why can't i get it to work by using the network manager?
[07:06] <Oswy> Viaken: Nope, sorry.
[07:07] <Viaken> Oswy: The site says 1.5.0 is current. 1.4.0 seems to be in the repos? Try going to http://virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads and downloading the "Fiesty Fawn" deb and reinstalling it.
[07:07] <H3g3m0n> Moduliz0r__:  System>Prefrences>Hardware information, might have it
[07:07] <Moduliz0r__> gtoaster isn't on synaptic
[07:07] <foug> I have 2 buttons on my mouse that change the volume from high to low and after installing compiz-fusion the icon for it when i pressed the button has changed. Anyone know what i'm talking about?
[07:07] <tom94130> I thought of that, the package is compiz-core, and as a dependency it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop - will that cause problems or can I do it with out killing the desktop
[07:07] <rafaelscj> [nrx] , what did you try? manual IP?
[07:07] <Oswy> k, thanks
[07:07] <axz> !repo
[07:07] <Oswy> Il try that in a bit.
[07:07] <DrakeJustice> anybody in here have a custom usplash?
[07:07] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[07:07] <[nrx] > rafaelscj: yes, it's manual IP
[07:07] <axz> wtf can someone help me please?
[07:07] <ninnemana> Viaken: my ext3 is hdb1
[07:07] <Pici> !usplash | DrakeJustice I dont, but you can read this
[07:07] <ubotu> DrakeJustice I dont, but you can read this: 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
[07:08] <yetengji> what about the custom splash?
[07:08] <[nrx] > rafaelscj: the only way i can get it to work is by running iwconfig ath0 essid <essid> enc <wepkey>
[07:08] <[nrx] > then it works
[07:08] <neverblue> tom94130, yes, it will cause issues to remove that
[07:08] <kritzstapf> when i try to capture my line in, which is hearable through a feedback channel, the sounds gets kind of bad, i tried audacity and qarecord, both do the same.. (snd_ca0106) any ideas?
[07:08] <Viaken> ninnemana: Try "sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /boot && sudo grub-install /dev/hda"
[07:08] <neverblue> !anyone | axz
[07:08] <ubotu> axz: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[07:08] <DrakeJustice> pici that doesn't help... i need a guide for gutsy...
[07:08] <Pici> !flash64 | axz
[07:08] <ubotu> axz: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[07:08] <ninnemana> Viaken: /dev/hda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
[07:09] <H3g3m0n> Moduliz0r__:  You might need to enable the repos on the livecd and apt-get update
[07:09] <NET||abuse> neverblue, i want to get this working just for nice urls in a wiki, here's the .htaccess file and error logs http://www.pastebin.org/2437
[07:09] <Pici> DrakeJustice: Then you should ask in #ubuntu+1   This channel is only for released versions.
[07:09] <Viaken> ninnemana: Try "sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /boot && sudo grub-install /dev/hdb" then... I didn't realize hdb was your main drive. lol
[07:09] <axz> i dont need Flash
[07:09] <axz> i need repos of other apps
[07:09] <Moduliz0r__> argh why is it so complicatedto burn an iso
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> !easysource
[07:09] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[07:09] <Viaken> axz: What apps?
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> axz whats apps exactly?
[07:09] <axz> that are ubuntu packges
[07:09] <neverblue> NET||abuse, my assistance was only to direct you to the proper channels
[07:10] <axz> like media apps
[07:10] <rafaelscj> [nrx] , did you try disable then enable that conection after configurating?
[07:10] <axz> or ati drivers
[07:10] <NET||abuse> neverblue, oh,, sorry :) ok,,
[07:10] <[nrx] > yes
[07:10] <axz> and updates of it
[07:10] <[nrx] > rafaelscj: yes
[07:10] <Pici> !enter | axz
[07:10] <ubotu> axz: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[07:10] <axz> oke
[07:10] <Dr_Willis> axz you may want to read up on the ubuntu packing system and apt-get. it makes it all rather easy once ya learn the basics
[07:10] <Dr_Willis> !apt
[07:10] <ubotu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[07:10] <ninnemana> Viaken: so what we were trying to accomplish was to set me linux partition up with the boot flag right?
[07:10] <DrakeJustice> Pici, thx
[07:10] <n3tfury> Moduliz0r__: what's the problem
[07:10] <axz> guys i just stapt from opensuse to ubuntu open suse has webpage with all kind of repos
[07:11] <axz> thats why i ask my self does ubuntu have it
[07:11] <Dr_Willis> axz i just pasted that easysource site that does the same thing.
[07:11] <axz> ok ethx
[07:11] <axz> i check it out
[07:11] <Dr_Willis> axz but most of the opackages you need are in the basic repo sites. Which are not all enabled by default.
[07:11] <Dr_Willis> the package manager has options to enable them I belive with some check box's somewhere.
[07:11] <Moduliz0r__> n3tfury: I'm in Ubuntu Live CD and I need to burn an ISO image, but I have 2 CD drives
[07:11] <Pici> axz: Also System>Administration>Software Sources can help you as well.
[07:11] <bitwiseshiftleft> question: is it possible to get compiz to recognize multimedia/internet keys?  I'm trying to get it to use the back/next buttons on my keyboard for window switching
[07:11] <Dr_Willis> OR that add/remove program tool has them
[07:11] <neverblue> tom94130, you could check out at http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/index.en.html
[07:11] <Viaken> ninnemana: /boot is where files for boot are stored. The kernel, grub settings, etc. What I was trying to accomplish was installing GRUB, which is what I think you originally asked for?
[07:11] <Dr_Willis> It pays to learn the apt fundamentals. :0
[07:12] <Moduliz0r__> n3tfury: And the default CD creator seems to fail on any CD
[07:12] <neverblue> tom94130, I dont have time to consult the documentation myself
[07:12] <tom94130> neverblue,  any idea what I can do?  It seems I could wait for the next version of the package or ubuntu and hope that clears up the problem, is there anywhere I can go to get info on forcing synaptic to accept that the package in question is current?  Should I report a bug somewhere (where and what to send)?
[07:12] <n3tfury> Moduliz0r__: are you specifically telling it to burn an ISO image?
[07:12] <n3tfury> Moduliz0r__: not a boot cd, etc
[07:12] <Moduliz0r__> yes I right click the iso and select open with CD creator
[07:12] <Moduliz0r__> it's actually a Ubuntu ISO
[07:13] <n3tfury> Moduliz0r__: with the app open, choose burn iso instead
[07:13] <tom94130> thanks neverblue I'll have a look there, on second thoughts, I've looked there already :(
[07:13] <pvl1> if i have an obscure sound card, should ubuntu still be able to record from a microphone?
[07:13] <Pici> Moduliz0r__: Or "burn disk image"
[07:13] <blubloblu> pvl1: one way to find out
[07:13] <bitwiseshiftleft> ... for that matter, is it possible to get compiz to antialias or sync to vbl?
[07:13] <Moduliz0r__> how about xfburn?
[07:13] <Moduliz0r__> K3B?
[07:13] <n3tfury> yeah, i don't recall the default burner gui :)
[07:13] <pvl1> blubloblu well thats the thing, it apparently wont record
[07:14] <n3tfury> k3b is what i use
[07:14] <Moduliz0r__> ill try tht
[07:14] <Moduliz0r__> at
[07:14] <blubloblu> pvl1: what is the model?
[07:14] <n3tfury> okie
[07:14] <rafaelscj> does k3b work with gnome?
[07:15] <Pici> rafaelscj: Yes.
[07:15] <pvl1> blubloblu its a CS 4614/22/24/30
[07:15] <Moduliz0r__> I only have one spare blank disc, so if this buggers up I won't be happy, because I don't have a working OS on my HDD right now
[07:16] <n3tfury> Moduliz0r__: well, good luck. i just used it on 7.04 Ubuntu about an hour ago to burn this Sabayon live cd which i'm on right now.
[07:16] <rafaelscj> [nrx] , what icon does network-manager show?
[07:17] <pvl1> blubloblu cirrus logic
[07:17] <ninnemana> Viaken: so i rebooted to test grub, and now i get the grub command line, but that's it, no O/S list
[07:17] <Oswy> Viaken: Hmm, how do I open a program as root?
[07:17] <Oswy> I'm trying to install virtualbox 1.5.
[07:17] <cyberphaz> sudo
[07:18] <Oswy> Well, yeah, but how do I open a program through terminal?
[07:18] <Viaken> Oswy: "gksudo VBox" I think
[07:18] <ninnemana> Oswy: to open a program as root open terminal and type in sudo "program name"
[07:18] <Oswy> Oh, k.
[07:18] <Viaken> ninnemana: We may've mounted the wrong partition to /boot
[07:18] <[nrx] > rafaelscj: huh?
[07:18] <plus_M2> I'm having trouble changing my default shell from tcsh to bash in my school account
[07:18] <plus_M2> When I try to run chsh it gives me the error "chsh: *myname* not found in /etc/passwd"
[07:18] <Kwanun> ubuntu compilation can't burn with dvdr?
[07:18] <ninnemana> want me to give u a list of all my partitions?
[07:19] <Oswy> ninnemana: Command not found, it says when I do that.
[07:19] <Oswy> Well, I just put in the .deb file's name.
[07:19] <ninnemana> program doesn't exist then
[07:19] <Kwanun> ubuntu compilation can't burn with dvdr?
[07:19] <Oswy> Hmm.
[07:19] <Oswy> k
[07:20] <Viaken> Oswy: Oh, if you haven't installed the deb, you'll need to "sudo dpkg -i debname.deb"
[07:20] <Oswy> k
[07:20] <ninnemana> Viaken, i have hdb1 (ext3), hdb2 (swap), and hdb3 (ntfs-vista)
[07:21] <Oswy> Viaken: k, it's installed.
[07:21] <ninnemana> with the boot flag set on hdb1
[07:21] <Viaken> ninnemana: ls /mnt/hdb1/boot
[07:21] <Nevermind> how do i select what envirnment I want on startup if I got Ubuntu and Kubuntu installed?
[07:21] <Oswy> Yay, Synaptic works again!
[07:21] <Oswy> Thanks!
[07:21] <Kwanun> ubuntu compilation can't burn with dvdr?
[07:21] <Viaken> No problem :)
[07:21] <ninnemana> yeah hdb1 is set to boot
[07:22] <ninnemana> if i set vista to boot won't it try and replace grub with windows manager?
[07:22] <Viaken> ninnemana: Yeah. You shouldn't have to do that.
[07:22] <rafaelscj> [nrx] , isn't there a network-manager's icon?
[07:22] <Viaken> I'm just wondering what happened to your grub.cfg
[07:22] <ninnemana> where can i find it?
[07:22] <ninnemana> (or should i be able to find it)
[07:23] <Kwanun> ubuntu compilation can't burn with dvdr?
[07:23] <Viaken> ninnemana: /mnt/hdb1/boot/grub. May also be called menu.lst. Usually one's a symlink to the other, though I forget which way it goes.
[07:23] <Viaken> menu.lst apparestly
[07:24] <Kwanun> UBUNTU ISO CAN'T BURN TO DVDR?
[07:24] <chris_> er irc.rizon.net
[07:25] <Viaken> ninnemana: Does it exist?
[07:25] <ninnemana> Viaken: yeah, and it lists my o/s
[07:25] <Kwanun> UBUNTU ISO CAN'T BURN TO DVDR?
[07:25] <Kwanun> UBUNTU ISO CAN'T BURN TO DVDR?
[07:25] <SlimeyPete> stop shouting. It's rude.
[07:25] <Viaken> If I knew, I'd answer you, Kwanun
[07:25] <plus_M2> Could someone please answer my question about chsh
[07:25] <plus_M2> I'm having trouble changing my default shell from tcsh to bash in my school account
[07:25] <plus_M2> When I try to run chsh it gives me the error "chsh: *myname* not found in /etc/passwd"
[07:26] <Kilroo> Has anyone else tried the new fglrx and switched back to Mesa again already?
[07:26] <cyberphaz> why wouldnt the iso be able tp be put on dvdr
[07:26] <Viaken> plus_M2: Do you have admin rights on the machine?
[07:26] <cyberphaz> works for me
[07:26] <plus_M2> No
[07:26] <plus_M2> But shouldn't I be able to change my own default shell?
[07:26] <ninnemana> Viaken: but apparently it hasn't updated since i installed vista, because it still lists XP as an operating system
[07:26] <Viaken> plus_M2: You'd probably have to ask your admin, then. You may be in some type of chroot environment.
[07:26] <plus_M2> hmm
[07:26] <Viaken> ninnemana: It may call it XP. As long as it points to the right partition, you're good. You can change the name while you're there if you like.
[07:27] <Viaken> plus_M2: You could try "grep *yourname* /etc/passwd"
[07:27] <plus_M2> Not in there

[07:28] <Wikzo> How do I turn of my cd/dvd drive to save more power for my Acer Aspire laptop (Ubuntu 7.04)? Is there any way to do it in an options menu or somthing like that?
[07:28] <Ajedrez> How to Edit a PDF?
[07:28] <Oswy> OK, I just installed a program, but I have no idea where to find it.
[07:28] <Ajedrez> :)
[07:28] <Oswy> I installed it through the package manager, but what now?
[07:29] <Wikzo> Just type programname in the console
[07:29] <Wikzo> like "firefox"
[07:29] <Kwanun> use which command
[07:29] <Oswy> Oh.
[07:29] <Oswy> Right.
[07:29] <Oswy> Thanks.
[07:29] <Wikzo> it is very logical :)
[07:29] <Oswy> Yeah.
[07:30] <Wikzo> But in many times you can find the program in the Program menu bar
[07:30] <Wikzo> Which program is it?
[07:30] <Pici> Kwanun: whos on first?
[07:31] <Wikzo> How do I turn of my cd/dvd drive to save more power for my Acer Aspire laptop (Ubuntu 7.04)? Is there any way to do it in an options menu or somthing like that?
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> Wikzo if its not being used.. thats about as off as it gets I think.
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> Wikzo there are some laptop-mode tools in the repos to help power savings
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> !find laptop
[07:31] <ubotu> Found: laptop-detect, laptop-mode-tools, education-laptop, klaptopdaemon, laptop-mode (and 3 others)
[07:31] <robert_> hm, what's package name for the xscreensaver extension?
[07:32] <Wikzo> I have read about laptop mode, but unsure about what it does ...
[07:32] <holycow> guys i'm dist upgrading to feisty on one box and i have a whole bunch of dependencie requirements like this:  libbonobo2-0 (>= 2.15.0) but 2.14.0-0ubuntu2
[07:32] <holycow> the problem doesn't seem to be versioning but naming
[07:32] <Oswy> OK, another stupid question: "The VirtualBox kernel driver is not accessible to the current user. Make sure that the user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by adding them to the vboxusers groups. You will need to logout for the change to take effect.."
 In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4 (feisty), package size 13 kB, installed size 88 kB
[07:32] <epiclulz> which distro does linus use?
[07:32] <Oswy> Where would the vboxusers groups me/how can I add a user to it?
[07:32] <Myrtti> good evening everyone
[07:32] <Oswy> Wait, nvm, I think I found it.
[07:33] <Wikzo> Oswy: Maybe sudo? :)
[07:33] <Dr_Willis> !groups
[07:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about groups - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:33] <Oswy> I just checked the box in the system thingy.
[07:33] <Oswy> But by "logout" does that mean just the program, or entirely?
[07:34] <Dr_Willis> Oswy when you addyourself to a group. you need to totally logout.
[07:34] <Wikzo> Think the program, but not sure
[07:34] <Oswy> k, thanks.
[07:34] <[Trash] > Heya, sorry to barge in on you guys.. But can anyone reccomend a multi Server Irc Client for Fiesty(IE - one that lets me to connect to more than one IRC network at a time)?
[07:34] <Dr_Willis> Oswy or so i have had to do in the past.
[07:34] <kkathman> Can one change the "login" screen to something else ?
[07:34] <kkathman> or is that fixed
[07:34] <Dr_Willis> kkerwin with gdm themes.
[07:34] <Kwanun> kkathman www.gnome-look.org
[07:35] <Wikzo> @Oswy :)
[07:35] <kkerwin> Dr_Willis: Eh?
[07:35] <kkathman> Kwanun:  ok, so you download that, where do you tell the system to use it?
[07:35] <Dr_Willis> kkerwin the login screen is 'gdm'  - there are dozens of gdm themed you can get.
[07:35] <Nevermind> When you got Kubuntu and Ubuntu installed at sametime, can you switch between them other than the deault one you set
[07:35] <Kwanun> just get the gdm file and install it
[07:35] <Dr_Willis> Nevermind the login screen has a menu to pick which one to use.
[07:35] <kkerwin> Dr_Willis: Oh, I think you meant the last at kkathman.
[07:35] <Kwanun> once install you will have the login screen
[07:36] <Dr_Willis> kkerwin proberly. :)
[07:36] <Nevermind> ahhhhh
[07:36] <Nevermind> cheers

[07:41] <Pici> holycow: Sometimes the developers need to make changes to the package sources, due to bug reports or to get them to integrate properly in the environment,  The ubuntu# is the ubuntu modified version.

[07:54] <BHSPitMonkey> the documentation for this realtek wifi card (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RTL8180L) discusses using ndiswrapper, but the realtek driver page for the card actually has a linux driver there.  Is there a reason the documentation doesn't acknowledge it?
[07:54] <linuxftw> Anybody know what I should do about my install problem? is it somthing to do with mount point '/' ?

[10:07] (gusto5/#ubuntu) when untarring, what do the xvzf stand for?
[10:07] (greg2/#ubuntu) i want to setup a LAMP on ubuntu desktop, but i do it, and php doesn't work
[10:07] (Dr_Willis/#ubuntu) Sergemine gnome and kde both should be useable.. -  if you really get tight for cpu/memory - you could set up fluxbox, or use xfce for a very light desktop.
[10:07] (jacob/#ubuntu) with the newest ubuntu how much of a struggle is it to do a clean install.   how hard will it be to reinstall the driver and get every thing working again
[10:08] (jon_/#ubuntu) can someone help me out a little with ndiswrapper
[10:08] (swarm/#ubuntu) they have countless tutorials on it
[10:08] (Augustus_Kolya/#ubuntu) GNOME is clean, functional, and well thought out

[10:09] <Dr_Willis> meoblast001 you might want to clarify a bit as to what you are doing not just spout off error messages.
[10:09] <livingdaylight> Augustus_Kolya, qt code looks a lot more efficient... gtk code doesn't look very good... looks great on the outside though:p
[10:09] <axz> guys cant i just install xchat on ubuntu for 64bit?
[10:09] <lokki> Kopfgeldjaeger: Is there vlc flag for this ?
[10:09] <Reaper> who me nrx?
[10:09] <axz> because i installed gnome xchat
[10:09] <Augustus_Kolya> GNOME is plenty efficient
[10:09] <axz> well
[10:10] <meoblast001> Dr_Willis: i ran "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 -t vfat /mnt"
[10:10] <axz> cant change athing
[10:10] <Augustus_Kolya> if anything is wrong with Ubuntu, it's too darn many default services
[10:10] <ibara_> yeah, just install normal xchat
[10:10] <meoblast001> Dr_Willis: then "sudo chmod -R 777 /mnt"
[10:10] <jon_> can someone help me out?
[10:10] <Reaper> !ask
[10:10] <hb> axz unless you NEED a x86_64 system I would stay away from it.  there's very little support for it :(
[10:10] <meoblast001> Dr_Willis: and now im trying to copy music to /mnt/MUSIC
[10:10] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:10] <Dr_Willis> meoblast001 you DONT chmod windows mountpoints that way. You need to use the umask=0002 or other options
[10:10] <Augustus_Kolya> axz: that is FUD
[10:10] <jon_> im trying to sudo dpkg -i ndiswrapper-common_*.deb but i get no such file or directory
[10:10] <Reaper> how do i check cd integrity?
[10:11] <Augustus_Kolya> hb: I've used 64-bit for ages
[10:11] <Augustus_Kolya> it's a lot better
[10:11] <livingdaylight> Augustus_Kolya, i agree that kde looks klunky but technically he says its superior... i wonder if it is true
[10:11] <Augustus_Kolya> just set up the libs
[10:11] <axz> Augustus_Kolya: is is possible to change user list or other things?
[10:11] <Augustus_Kolya> and you're all set
[10:11] <jon_> where do i find the package?
[10:11] <Dr_Willis> untill theres a problem.. :)
[10:11] <hb> ok, install flash on a 64bit system without hacks and i'll believe you.
[10:11] <Augustus_Kolya> axz: you mean add users
[10:11] <Augustus_Kolya> ?
[10:11] <axz> no change userlist
[10:11] <meoblast001> Dr_Willis: any idea?
[10:11] <OiPenguin> I'm trying to install Ubuntu, however my CD-player fails. XP is installed. Can I place the Ubuntu image on the XP desktop and use that to install? How do I do it? If it ain't possible, is there any other solution? Network install?
[10:11] <Dr_Willis> meoblast001 mount it properly with the umask option like ive been saying.
[10:11] <ibara_> axz, just go ahead and install normal xchat
[10:11] <Augustus_Kolya> hb: thats not Ubuntu's fault, nspluginwrapper works fine
[10:11] <velko> Reaper, you have to compute the md5sum of the downloaded image and compare it to the one on the website you downloaded that image from (before burning the disc on cd)
[10:11] <shouji> hb: flash player? i did it
[10:12] <ibara_> you can configure it better
[10:12] <axz> like i cant change topic of the channel or do any thing..... thats why need full xchat gnome version is kinda wierd
[10:12] <Tech-Mike> i got flash on amd64 :-P
[10:12] <meoblast001> Dr_Willis: can you type the string out? i dont know what umask is
[10:12] <Augustus_Kolya> hb: and if Adobe would open source or comple for 64-bit it would work dandy
[10:12] <ibara_> axz, sudo apt-get install xchat
[10:12] <hb> as I said, without hacks and i'll believe you.
[10:12] <axz> 64bit version roxs only some problem with installing 32bit apps hb
[10:12] <Augustus_Kolya> axz: like what probs?
[10:12] <Augustus_Kolya> 32-bit libs work great
[10:13] <shouji> I didn't had any problems with x64 at any time
[10:13] <disinterested> being as of how no stations will load into exaile that something has happened?
[10:13] <bstock> anyone know any app to read .pdb ebook files?
[10:13] <Augustus_Kolya> I would never go back to 32-bit
[10:13] <Augustus_Kolya> period
[10:13] <meoblast001> Dr_Willis: there is no umask option
[10:13] <axz> well like xchat

[10:14] <Dr_Willis> meoblast001 thers 10000's of optiuons.. :) you just havent read about them ..
[10:14] <Sergemine> Dr_Willis, what would be the prefered apps for XFCE? It is GTK based, right? Firefox grows very big when using it, is it the same with konqueror? My guess was that Konqueror+Kopete+KWord would load less libraries into memory since they are all KDE apps, while Firefox (Gecko) + Pidgin (GTK) + Abiword (don't know) may be taking more memory for libraries to go with them. AM I THNIKING RIGHT ???
[10:14] <meoblast001> where can i read about them
[10:14] <__ZiGgy__> virtualbox  or  VMware
[10:14] <Augustus_Kolya> ziggy: tried WINE?
[10:14] <Dr_Willis> meoblast001 mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows -t ntfs -r -o umask=0222, for example is   what i often use
[10:14] <meoblast001> and i dont have time for 10000 options
[10:15] <LOWLUX> what jumper setting do i put my IDE hard drive on for it to be seen in the bios??????????????
[10:15] <shouji> __ZigGy__: I use virtualbox, just works fine

[10:15] <Dr_Willis> meoblast001 this is documented all over the  place. Use umask=0002

[10:16] <livingdaylight> Augustus_Kolya, the point of the articel is not to create a typical religious kde vs gnome flame war, but talking about the difficulty from a develpers point of view with so many diferent DE's and the impact it has on Linux as a whole in captureing a largeer market share... I've long felt that Linux needs to consolidate its resources and have more standardization or at least integration to be more appealing to deve

[10:17] <steve_j> hi all
[10:18] <jon_> can i get a little help with ndiswrapper? im following a tutorial but im running into a few issues
[10:18] <Augustus_Kolya> for the most part, the UNIX design philosophy shows us that if you do something right the first time, you never have to go back and re-do it
[10:18] <Dazgar1> hi
[10:18] <swarm> ompaul, I have gone through a ton of those tutorials. None of them have worked - the hardware just never shows up.
[10:18] <LOWLUX> what jumper setting do i put my IDE hard drive on for it to be seen in the bios??????????????
[10:18] <steve_j> if i want to create a user to basically run svnserve and touch nothing else, how do i limit his powers? i've added a user via adduser and chowned the svn repos to that user's name
[10:18] <Dazgar1> how can i disable Xl in ubuntu please (7.10)
[10:18] <meoblast001> Dr_Willis: i still dont have permission
[10:18] <Dr_Willis> meoblast001  you have been unmounting the drive not just remounting it?
[10:18] <craazy> ive been an ubuntu user for a while, i tried switching to suse, but ubuntu is just the fuckin best
[10:19] <meoblast001> Dr_Willis: unmounting.. yes
[10:19] <jon_> im having issues with the fesity packages for ndiswrapper
[10:19] <livingdaylight> Augustus_Kolya, did you read the article?
[10:19] <meoblast001> Dr_Willis: is that wrong
[10:19] <jon_> can someone help me get them working?
[10:19] <Augustus_Kolya> no, haven't yet
[10:19] <djs_2_6> LOWLUX - Already answered.  Read this - http://www.helpwithpcs.com/upgrading/install-hard-drive.htm
[10:19] <Dr_Willis> meoblast001 sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows -t vfat   umask=0002          Should work.
[10:19] <velko> steve_j, the powers of this user depend on the groups it belongs to. per default only "users"
[10:19] <Sergemine> What takes less memory and CPU: 1. Konqueror + Kopete + KWord @ KDE,         or       2. Firefox + Pidgin + Abiword @ XFCE     ??? !!!
[10:19] <Dr_Willis> meoblast001 or failing that . you could set the uid/gid also and let it get mounted/owned by a specific user.
[10:19] <swarm> Augustus_Kolya, the problem with that is that it always gives error 404 - it's a broken package or something.
[10:19] <muki> can somean pls help me to instal the Intel 915GM video driver for my laptop?

[10:23] <Augustus_Kolya> livingdaylight: It says Linux has 0.77% of the desktop, but estimates from 2004, before Ubuntu even really had legs, had it at closer to 3%

[10:25] <zoneman53> I've been using Ubuntu for about two weeks and love it
[10:25] <Dazgar1> muki: you'll sure have a compilation step
[10:25] <Augustus_Kolya> Sergemine: I usually recommend Firefox first, Opera next
[10:26] <livingdaylight> Augustus_Kolya, the point is that the market share is not as great as it could be from a potential point of view if there was more of a cohesive front... He is talking from a developers point of view ... the necessity for standardization... gnome only came about as a reaction to kde's issues.. but once it joined gpl there was no longer reason for it to exist... now developers have a choice between too many DE's
[10:26] <__ZiGgy__> virtualbox_1.5.0-24069-1_Ubuntu_feisty_i386.deb is this correct
[10:26] <craazy> Sergemine" there is a reallly good comaprison

[10:26] <craazy> if you google it
[10:26] <DigeratiX> there its set to 1280x1024/60
[10:26] <Geoffrey2> muki, I assume there's a reason you can't just use the intel drivers built into Ubuntu?
[10:26] <livingdaylight> Augustus_Kolya, and i wonder if LInux as a greater whole doesn't suffer for this in one way or another
[10:26] <Augustus_Kolya> livingdaylight: The average PC user has Windows, already set up and running, from the OEM, and if the OS can't wipe their butt for them
[10:26] <Augustus_Kolya> then they are stumped
[10:26] <muki> no i cant

[10:32] <zoneman53> Pengiun I don't think so
[10:32] <Dr_Willis> OiPenguin No i dont think it can
[10:32] <zoneman53> It acts as a dual boot system
[10:32] <livingdaylight> Augustus_Kolya, scroll down to the example between the difference in code between qt and gtk to create a button that says 'hello world' and quits qhen you click on it... gtk code is 100%more efficient...  One last question: Would I get more functionality with KDE + Konqueror + Kopete + KWord ??? Any chance for that ?
[10:33] <Geoffrey2> now, my question....I'm trying to set up Firefox so it can properly handle pdf files...so far I'm having zero luck, anyone willing to help me with it?

[10:34] <feca> hello
[10:34] <Augustus_Kolya> I'm sure Ubuntu would switch to KDE before that happened
[10:34] <zoneman53> penguin the thing about WUBI is that it enables you to run Ubuntu on a FAT32 or NTFS partition
[10:34] <Geoffrey2> OiPenguin, um, if possible, a new CD drive?
[10:34] <Jack_Sparrow> OiPenguin: You probably could save your /home install to the drive and copy home over
[10:34] <FusionMan> FAT32 is supposed to be highly compatible
