[09:36] <thingy> Teh_wrk1n|Dog: yep
[09:36] <Chandu> May I know how dpkg-reconfigure works
[09:36] <Teh_wrk1n|Dog> pvt pls
[09:37] <mkquist_> gansinho-give u root gui to do same things, like permissions
[09:37] <geoffTheFish> JoseStefan: it drops to 23% when i run it like that
[09:37] <ubuntu> hey geoff :)
[09:37] <JoseStefan> geoffTheFish, sometimes taking the readings within X adds overhead
[09:38] <anAngel> hi how can i build a kernel 2.6 without /dev support in it? I need to be configured to not automatically mount  /dev (devfs) by default
[09:38] <gansinho> mkquist_: no =( not even with gksudo
[09:38] <Teh_wrk1n|Dog> thingy: you there? can you see any msgs i type?
[09:38] <geoffTheFish> JoseStefan: so that is a more accurate figure?  cos it climbed to 90% before and stuff was running slowly, after i logged out and in it dropped to the current 50%
[09:38] <gansinho> mkquist_: its the same second error that I pasted in PVT to you
[09:38] <JoseStefan> geoffTheFish, if X still feels slugish you could check stuff like, using a CPU specific kernel, and using propietary video drivers
[09:38] <ubuntu> thingy: hi there
[09:39] <holycow> heh, this is just rude --> http://dilbert.com/
[09:39] <ubuntu> thingy:  can u see Teh_wrk1n|Dog ?
[09:39] <thingy> Teh_wrk1n|Dog: Nope, your msgs arent getting to me
[09:39] <holycow> funny thing is i know people like that
[09:39] <holycow> and the funnier thing is, they really are unqualified for a life of crime
[09:39] <geoffTheFish> JoseStefan:  maybe the drivers cos windows leave traces when i move them and i get odd flashes when i click on top menu icons?

[09:39] <ubuntu> hey Madpilot
[09:40] <JoseStefan> geoffTheFish, i would check the kernel 1st, what kernel are you using and what CPU do you have?
[09:40] <holycow> heh, this is just rude --> http://dilbert.com/
[09:40] <thingy> Teh_wrk1n|Dog: in that case type in /join #thingy

[09:40] <mkquist_> gansinho-sry
[09:40] <gansinho> I'll try that again
[09:40] <gansinho> ok
[09:40] <D0wn> Has anyone used the program "MoBlock"?
[09:40] <ubuntu> Madpilot: it is unique :)
[09:40] <geoffTheFish> JoseStefan:  is there a command that tells the kernal version?  i basically upgraded from breezy to dapper last month
[09:40] <mkquist_> not hardly
[09:40] <mkquist_> lol
[09:41] <ubuntu> lol
[09:41] <anAngel> hi Anybody to know how can i build a kernel 2.6 without /dev support in it? I need to be configured to not automatically mount  /dev (devfs) by default
[09:41] <JoseStefan> geoffTheFish, "uname -a"
[09:42] <gansinho> mkquist_: "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1,  missing codepage or other error"
[09:42] <geoffTheFish> JoseStefan: 2.6.15-26-386
[09:42] <ubuntu> aaw dont ya guys like my name :(

[09:44] <gansinho> in ntfs I could mount it easly... but now that it's in Vfat I can't
[09:44] <ubuntu> gansinho:  type mount -t vfat device    mount-point
[09:45] <geoffTheFish> JoseStefan: hmmm, i cant see from device manager, it just says unknown - do i need to boot up my windoze partition to find out?
[09:45] <dtang> hello
[09:45] <JoseStefan> geoffTheFish, is it a branded PC, you might be able to find out thru the manufacturer website
[09:45] <Softlow> can someone help me with partitioning?

[09:47] <mkquist_> gansinho:-i should be able to get anyway
[09:47] <Softlow> I have a Windows partition and a Ubuntu partition and I want to shrink the Windows Partition and expand the Ubuntu partition. How would I do that?
[09:47] <Gooblakan> Can anyone help me get a parallel port scanner working?
[09:47] <ubuntu> mkquist_:  only registered member can get PM's right?
[09:47] <gansinho> ubuntu : now I reboot?
[09:47] <Gooblakan> can anyone see me?
[09:48] <mkquist_> ubuntu-it supposed to depend how u set it if youll accept or not
[09:48] <gansinho> Gooblakan: yup
[09:48] <ubuntu> gansinho: no reboot required
[09:48] <ubuntu> this is linux
[09:48] <JoseStefan> geoffTheFish, try this command: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[09:48] <Gooblakan> thanks gan
[09:48] <ubuntu> gansinho: just chk the mount point u should be able to access win shares
[09:48] <gansinho> ubuntu but now the partition isn' there anymore?
[09:48] <gansinho> the partition is empty
[09:49] <ubuntu> can u see it in the link?
[09:49] <chris449> hi, i'm in a command prompt only situation, how do i start the network?
[09:49] <ubuntu> type fdisk -l
[09:49] <gansinho> I want to have a partition to swap things over the OS's
[09:49] <mkquist_> gansinho:-and paste the results
[09:49] <geoffTheFish> JoseStefan: ah cool, it is a celeron 2.8Ghz
[09:49] <mkquist_> in the pastebin
[09:49] <gansinho> my mom can't use anything but windows
[09:49] <ubuntu> k
[09:49] <gansinho> no result... =(
[09:49] <JoseStefan> geoffTheFish, install this package: linux-686
[09:49] <mkquist_> fdisk -l?
[09:50] <mkquist_> no result
[09:50] <mkquist_> sudo
[09:50] <mkquist_> gansinho: sudo
[09:50] <geoffTheFish> JoseStefan: ok
[09:50] <mkquist_> gansinho: or sudo -s for the duration
[09:50] <JoseStefan> !binarydriver > geoffTheFish
[09:50] <gansinho> /dev/hdb1               1        2612    20980858+   b  W95 FAT32
[09:51] <ubuntu> ok so hdb1 is there as fat32
[09:51] <JoseStefan> geoffTheFish, after you install the new kernel, reboot into it (it will show on the boot menu)
[09:51] <gansinho> so ... isn't that right? both windows and linux can write/read easly FAT 32 can't they?
[09:51] <ubuntu> yes they can
[09:52] <geoffTheFish> JoseStefan:  what does that package do then (i ask as i trustingly install it anykway!!)
[09:52] <geoffTheFish> JoseStefan: so is a different kernal?
[09:52] <mkquist_> geoffTheFish..lol
[09:52] <mkquist_> "as i trustingly install it anyway"
[09:52] <gansinho> the only problem is that  I can't mount it... =// the other ntfs I did
[09:52] <ubuntu> gansinho:  try this
[09:53] <mkquist_> gansinho: when u mount -a what does it say?
[09:53] <ubuntu> gansinho:  type sudo mkdir /media/hdb1
[09:53] <JoseStefan> geoffTheFish, the linux-686 is a dummy package that depends on the linux-image and modules packages for 686 processors
[09:53] <shaigirl67> hi all
[09:53] <Gooblakan> anyone know how to detect scanners on the parallel port?
[09:53] <gansinho> syas that the file exists
[09:53] <gansinho> says
[09:53] <ubuntu> gansinho:  ok good
[09:53] <JoseStefan> geoffTheFish, 686 processors is basicly everything intel has releaseased since the pentium 2
[09:53] <tepsipakki> hi, how do I change kde _not_ to show the desktop when the screen is locked?
[09:53] <ubuntu> type sudo mount -t vfat /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb
[09:54] <gansinho> already mounted according to mtab
[09:54] <ubuntu> then u shold be able to access it
[09:54] <mkquist_> gansinho:-clear it out of fstab
[09:54] <tomthorgal> hello :)
[09:54] <mkquist_> then umount it
[09:54] <ubuntu> type sudo ls -l /media/hdb1
[09:54] <gansinho> it also says that it's busy
[09:54] <JoseStefan> geoffTheFish, after you install it, you will reboot, and you'll have a new option on the boot menu with the new kernel, the old kernel will still be there too
[09:55] <mkquist_> then try his last mount command
[09:55] <gansinho> maybe busy
[09:55] <mkquist_> gansinho:-ull have to umount it first then
[09:55] <Gooblakan> hello tom
[09:55] <mrjoe> ciao a tuttti
[09:55] <gansinho> ok... 1-delete from fstab 2-unmount 3-mount 4- write in fstab ?
[09:55] <ubuntu> mkquist_: i did try register my name
[09:55] <ubuntu> how do i make sure it registered?
[09:56] <mkquist_> ubuntu, ya im having probs w/that too
[09:56] <tomthorgal> Could someone tell me how I can exit x11 to just get back to the prompt? I need to install nvidia drivers and need to exit my xwindow for it.
[09:56] <ubuntu> oh ok
[09:56] <geoffTheFish> JoseStefan: ok, cool i will give it a go.  thanks for the advice
[09:56] <Lobster> what name do you want to register?
[09:56] <mrjoe> i have a problem with inetd and swat....
[09:56] <gansinho> mkquist_: it's here!!!
[09:56] <mkquist_> lol where
[09:56] <ubuntu> gansinho: make backups before modifying any file
[09:56] <gansinho> I did not have to mount
[09:56] <gansinho> lol
[09:56] <mrjoe> someone can halp me?
[09:56] <gansinho> don't know
[09:56] <mkquist_> gansinho: what did u change?
[09:56] <JoseStefan> geoffTheFish, after you have it running, you could give "top" a try, but i would install the video drivers as well
[09:56] <ubuntu> gansinho:  congrats ;)
[09:57] <gansinho>  sudo fdisk -l
[09:57] <gansinho> i think that this is the magic command
[09:57] <JoseStefan> tomthorgal, you should need to exit x11 to install video drivers
[09:57] <JoseStefan> tomthorgal, shouldn't*
[09:57] <geoffTheFish> JoseStefan: ok, i will need windoze to tell me the video card tho?
[09:57] <mkquist_> gansinho: congrats..
[09:57] <mrjoe> ok
[09:58] <gansinho> (I'm newb, totally... so the terminal is a great temple of magic... in which things happen when I type wright things)
[09:58] <JoseStefan> geoffTheFish, or receipt / manufacturer website
[09:58] <JoseStefan> geoffTheFish, whatever is easier for you
[09:58] <mkquist_> gansinho: was pretty happy to get mine mounted ...did you mount in media?
[09:58] <Gooblakan> anyone know anything about scanners and the parallel port?
[09:58] <mkquist_> gansinho: or mnt?
[09:58] <ubuntu> gansinho:  learn to use man
[09:58] <tomthorgal> After sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8774-pkg1.run the prompt tells me I need to exit x11.
[09:58] <ubuntu> man mount
[09:58] <ubuntu> man command-name
[09:58] <gansinho> I'm with ubuntu for 2 weeks now
[09:59] <JoseStefan> tomthorgal, did you consider the drivers in the ubuntu repositories? those are much easier to install.
[09:59] <Gooblakan> I would like to talk to a linux guru please......    :(
[09:59] <gansinho> mkquist_:  yes, it's mounted in /media
[09:59] <mkquist_> gansinho: then its on ur desktop
[09:59] <mkquist_> too?
[09:59] <geoffTheFish> JoseStefan: its ATI Radeon(TM)
[09:59] <geoffTheFish> IGP 345M
[10:00] <gansinho> nop.. =/
[10:00] <yum99> hi all, we use ubuntu clients at our school. the server is using openldap. the kids cannot use sound and usb stick because they arent in the groups audio and plugdev. can I tell the clients with the ldap server that all 1000 users are in the group audio and plugdev?
[10:00] <ubuntu> gansinho: r u using kde?
[10:00] <mkquist_> gansinho: hmm
[10:00] <ubuntu> or gnome?
[10:00] <gansinho> nope...
[10:00] <gansinho> I can enter it
[10:00] <gansinho> gnome
[10:00] <ubuntu> then it should be on desktop like mkquist_ said
[10:00] <JoseStefan> tomthorgal, i cant msg you back, not registered :(
[10:00] <gansinho> Via nautilus > computer > hdb1
[10:01] <JoseStefan> !nvidia > tomthorgal
[10:01] <gansinho> but it's great not to be in desktop
[10:01] <tomthorgal> no problem :)
[10:01] <bejoy> Gooblakan, How much you are willing to pay to talk to GURU?
[10:01] <mkquist_> gansinho: if its mounted in media, can u access it? like write to it?
[10:01] <gansinho> I wish I could remove the others ....  (they make me remember windows)
[10:01] <JoseStefan> geoffTheFish, i have never installed the ati drivers :(
[10:01] <kOpter> Yello :)
[10:02] <kOpter> I've got a strange problem: on cold boot, my hardware sometimes doesn't get recognized... So I have no mouse, network or anything...
[10:02] <kOpter> Rebooting solves this 9/10 times...
[10:02] <gansinho> yes... I have some problems...
[10:02] <mkquist_> gansinho: remove what others? more on desktop?
[10:02] <gansinho> I can't write in it... =(
[10:02] <mkquist_> gansinho: permissions again?
[10:02] <ubuntu> gansinho: lol i think u forgot to cange fstab file
[10:02] <JoseStefan> geoffTheFish, it is possible you might have to keep the same drivers you are using now, as the propietary ones are usually for standalone add-in cards
[10:02] <gansinho> remove the other  partitions that it mount automatically in the boot
[10:02] <ubuntu> change*
[10:02] <gansinho> just the "shortcuts"
[10:03] <gansinho> from desktop
[10:03] <ubuntu> gansinho: paste ur fstab file on pastebin.com
[10:03] <mkquist_> gansinho: trash those if u want then
[10:03] <JoseStefan> geoffTheFish, the kernel image should make a difference, lets hope its big enough
[10:03] <geoffTheFish> JoseStefan:  apt is telling me there is a package which is a video driver for ATI graphics accelerators, is that what i need?
[10:03] <mkquist_> !pastebin
[10:03] <ubotu> 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 (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[10:04] <JoseStefan> geoffTheFish, the package might not include your ATI model
[10:04] <geoffTheFish> JoseStefan: will it hurt to install it?
[10:04] <ubuntu> make sure fstab setting for hdb1 has changed to vfat and it is not in ro mode
[10:04] <JoseStefan> geoffTheFish: yes, it might hurt
[10:04] <Gooblakan> can anyone help me?
[10:05] <JoseStefan> geoffTheFish: stick with the 686 kernel for now, lets hope the improvment is big enough
[10:05] <ubuntu> Gooblakan: ask the question, if some1 can they will help
[10:05] <gansinho> it's in pastebin guys
[10:06] <Gooblakan> how do I detect a parallel port scanner?  I believe it is supported by XSane
[10:06] <gansinho> name = gansinho
[10:06] <tepsipakki> yum99: use pam_group
[10:06] <geoffTheFish> JoseStefan: ok it has installed so i will reboot, back on the channel later, thanks for the advice
[10:07] <JoseStefan> geoffTheFish: ok
[10:07] <HFall> hello. I hope this is the right place for my question...
[10:07] <tepsipakki> yum99: in /etc/pam.d/gdm add "auth    optional        pam_group.so"
[10:07] <HFall> I have problem with i810 X module
[10:07] <gansinho> mkquist_ , and ubuntu I'ts already in pastebin.com
[10:08] <mkquist_> gansinho: k

[10:08] <tepsipakki> (that's what we use)
[10:08] <HFall> when I try to use ubuntu on my TV in 1360x768 it not works :(
[10:08] <tepsipakki> now can someone tell me which component in KDE is responsible for locking the screen??
[10:09] <brendonjt> hi ya all  back

[10:16] <mkquist_> gansinho - if u want sudo -s will give u sudo for the terminal session so u dont have to keep typing sudo
[10:16] <brendonjt> ubuntu: depends if the owner  of the directory  is the user or root

[10:23] <Samuli^> dangson, xubuntu-desktop it's just a list of depencies, so you can easily install everything that should be on xfe-desktop.
[10:23] <ubuntu> gansinho: close file and save change

[10:23] <gansinho> no it's not thunderbird
[10:24] <Gooblakan> i'm having a problem detecting a parallel port scanner
[10:24] <gansinho> mount -a /dev/hdb1 ?
[10:24] <mkquist_> gansinho - just mount -a
[10:24] <gansinho> or just mount -a
[10:24] <gansinho> ok
[10:24] <ubuntu> mount -a
[10:24] <mkquist_> gansinho - any errors?
[10:24] <dangson> Samuli^, so I can just proceed with removing thunderbird?

[10:24] <gansinho> not permissions
[10:24] <AndyIsMVP> cynical: ok reboot
[10:24] <Samuli^> dangson, yes.
[10:24] <mkquist_> gansinho - ok try this
[10:24] <Gooblakan> does anyone know anything about parallel port devices?
[10:25] <dangson> Samuli^, cool. thanks
[10:25] <ubuntu> not perm. :-?
[10:25] <gansinho> mkquist_: and when I enter nautilus as root the hdb1 dows not appear at all....
[10:26] <mkquist_>  gansinho- have u left nautilus open?

[10:26] <ubuntu> eh ?
[10:26] <mkquist_> gansinho- not during all this huh?
[10:26] <gansinho> just oppeened now to see if as root I could write
[10:26] <gansinho> no
[10:27] <mkquist_> gansinho-but u can cd there in terminal?
[10:27] <Gooblakan> is there a method of auto detecting parallel port devices?
[10:28] <gansinho> yes
[10:28] <mkquist_> gansinho- can u mkdir there?
[10:28] <gansinho> mkdir what?
[10:29] <mkquist_> gansinho-anything to see if u can write there
[10:29] <mkquist_> gansinho-doesnt matter what, u can delete it
[10:29] <gansinho> i dunno what mkdir does !!
[10:29] <gansinho> sorry
[10:29] <mkquist_> gansinho-try mkdir test
[10:29] <thingy> Gooblakan: Whats the context of your query? Do wish to program this autodetection or are you trying to get something auto detected?
[10:29] <gansinho> I'm really new to this
[10:29] <JoseStefan> make directory
[10:30] <ubuntu> mkdir is used to make new folder
[10:30] <mkquist_> gansinho- in terminal..it makes a directory, mkdir...
[10:30] <gansinho> thanks
[10:30] <gansinho> it created
[10:30] <vik> I assume it isn't legal to assign the same IP to two different NICs in the one computer?
[10:30] <gansinho> I can enter

[10:30] <Thunderpants> aside from xnest, what package do you need to get a login in a new window?
[10:30] <mkquist_> gansinho-and u can write as root, so how are u opening nautilus as root?
[10:31] <gansinho> I'll dothat

[10:31] <gansinho> in "root nautilus"
[10:31] <mkquist_> gansinho-try alt/f2 and run gksudo nautilus
[10:31] <gansinho> there is no icon to that partition
[10:32] <gansinho> just to the others

[10:34] <gansinho> there is no lock icon in the folder!
[10:34] <mkquist_> gansinho-ok try opeing browser in ur user mode
[10:34] <Samuli^> so now you just have to make it so, that normal user can write to it :)
[10:34] <gansinho> ok
[10:35] <mkquist_> gansinho-right click on hd1 and check permissions
[10:35] <Gooblakan> is there any way to detect devices connected to the parallel port?
[10:35] <vik> Has anyone had any success in getting gnome samba browsing etc working?
[10:35] <mkquist_> gansinho-in nautilus
[10:35] <gansinho> in user nautilus
[10:35] <gansinho> or root nautilus?
[10:35] <Samuli^> gansinho, what file format is it?
[10:35] <mkquist_> gansinho-root, sry
[10:35] <gansinho> Vfat
[10:35] <Thunderpants> does anybody know, aside from xnest, what package do you need to get a login in a new window?
[10:35] <mkquist_> gansinho-there u can set permissions
[10:35] <Gooblakan> or even a way to detect if my parallel port is supported?
[10:36] <gansinho> i thought so
[10:36] <gansinho> =)
[10:36] <gansinho> I'm getting smarter
[10:36] <mkquist_> gansinho-check the owner?
[10:36] <tarver> hows everyone
[10:36] <Gooblakan> frustrated
[10:36] <mkquist_> gansinho-it'll come, just keep battin away
[10:36] <Samuli^> gansinho, ok. I don't think fat supports permissions like that.
[10:36] <CarinArr> er
[10:36] <CarinArr> if it's fat, you can't use permissions
[10:36] <mkquist_> gansinho-uh maybe not, didnt think about that...
[10:36] <mkquist_> gansinho-oops
[10:36] <CarinArr> what Samuli^ said;)
[10:37] <gansinho> mkquist_: the "hd-like-icons" dows not appear in root nautilus
[10:37] <gansinho> not for  hdb1
[10:37] <Gooblakan> isn't fat 32 known for it's instability?
[10:37] <gansinho> lol
[10:37] <Samuli^> gansinho, you have to define permissions in the fstab.
[10:37] <gansinho> how?
[10:37] <ubuntu> fat= fixing all time :)
[10:37] <mkquist_> Samuli^-cant u do the same in root-nautilus?
[10:38] <gansinho> Samuli^: gid=46
[10:38] <Samuli^> mkquist_, not with a fat, because fat doesn't support normal unix-permissions.
[10:38] <gansinho> Samuli^: this should alow me to acess it doesent it?
[10:38] <gansinho> user in group 46 sth like that...
[10:38] <mkquist_> Samuli^-i c, learning all the time
[10:39] <ubuntu> lol
[10:39] <Gooblakan> ubuntu: how would I detect a device on the parallel port
[10:39] <ubuntu> Gooblakan:  sorry no idea
[10:39] <gansinho> (my mom will chop my head off... it's 5 am here
[10:39] <vik> Gooblakan: what device?
[10:40] <gansinho> he's almost waking to work
[10:40] <Gooblakan> a scanner
[10:40] <chris449> hi, does anyone know how to increase my refresh rate i'm using kde and xgl on nvidia graphics card?
[10:40] <gansinho> Samuli^: in fstab what should I do to give permissions
[10:40] <gansinho> ?
[10:40] <Gooblakan> vik: frankly, i'm not even sure if my kernel supports it....
[10:41] <ubuntu> chris449: where screen resoltuion option is there
[10:41] <ubuntu> i think it is system>>prefrence>>resolution
[10:41] <Samuli^> gansinho, if you want to give everyone all rights umask=0000
[10:41] <chris449> ubuntu: aah thanks, i'm used to windows
[10:41] <Samuli^> -0
[10:41] <Gooblakan> vik: you there man?
[10:42] <ubuntu> yw
[10:42] <vik> Gooblakan: patience. Some of us multitask. type lsmod and see if parport and lp modules are there.
[10:42] <gansinho> Samuli^:  thanks
[10:42] <Samuli^> gansinho, umask works just like chmod, only the other way around so you don't give permissions, you take them away with umask.
[10:42] <gansinho> and nls
[10:42] <gansinho> do I need to have any?
[10:43] <vik> anyone had any success with nautilus mounting ssh/sftp ?
[10:43] <ubuntu> konqueror did
[10:43] <dbe> vik, mouting ssh via nautilus?
[10:43] <ubuntu> did not chk nautils vik
[10:44] <Gooblakan> vik: sorry man, and thanks.
[10:44] <gansinho> Samuli^:  do I need to have any nls ?
[10:44] <vik> ubuntu: huh?
[10:44] <Gooblakan> vik:  parport_pc             31812  1
[10:44] <vik> dbe: places -> connect to server -> service type -> ssh
[10:45] <Samuli^> gansinho, what's nls?
[10:45] <dbe> vik, Hehe.
[10:45] <gansinho> don't know... I though you would
[10:45] <gansinho> it's in fstab
[10:45] <gansinho> ok, neverming... I really need to sleep my mom will kill me and my tux..
[10:45] <vik> dbe: I assume it uses sftp? though it doesn't seem to work
[10:45] <gansinho> neverming
[10:46] <vik> Gooblakan: what device are you trying to connect?
[10:46] <Samuli^> gansinho, there's lots on information available about fstab on the google, try it tomorrow :)
[10:46] <ubuntu> lol
[10:46] <ubuntu> !fstab
[10:46] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file lists all drives and partitions that are mounted on the system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !partitions
[10:46] <gansinho> Samuli^: thanks a lot! ubuntu: thanks a lot mkquist_: thanks a lot !!! really guys you were super gentle ... I can't express myself in a good way in english
[10:46] <Gooblakan> vik: a scanner
[10:47] <ubuntu> gansinho: np , good luck
[10:47] <Gooblakan> vik: an artec scanner that is supposed to be supported by Xsane
[10:47] <IcareZ> hi there
[10:47] <vik> Gooblakan: Hmm... dunno really.
[10:47] <gansinho> I come back some day... good sth for you guys.. don't know what time it is over there...
[10:47] <IcareZ> i have a serious problem with apt-get
[10:47] <IcareZ> it cant download any sources !
[10:48] <vik> Gooblakan: I don't think it will autodetect magically like USB
[10:48] <eetfunk> how do i associate .rb files to my ruby interpreter on the command line?  i'm sick of typing ruby before every .rb file i want to execute!
[10:48] <nbjayme> anybody know of a program that encodes avi raw (lossless) format from (mpg/ogg)?
[10:48] <vik> Gooblakan: you could always try a parallel printer to make sure the ports working (though it's unlikely that it isn't)
[10:48] <nocti> hello, how do i upgrade all that needs upgrading? apt-get ? thanks
[10:48] <Awesome-o2000> nbjayme, mencoder?
[10:48] <Gooblakan> vik: any idea where to search for some help? perhaps a clever search string for google?
[10:49] <dbe> nocti, apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[10:49] <IcareZ> nocti: you must edit the sources.list
[10:49] <ubuntu> nocti: yep
[10:49] <IcareZ> then make a apt-get update
[10:49] <vik> Gooblakan: and make sure your parport is set to ECP mode - you gotta do this in the BIOS
[10:49] <nbjayme> Awesome-o2000, i'll check it. thanks for the speedy reply. :)
[10:49] <nocti> eetfunk, #!/usr/bin/ruby on the first line of the script
[10:49] <Awesome-o2000> np
[10:49] <eetfunk> thanks!
[10:49] <nocti> dbe thanks
[10:49] <IcareZ> nocti: to edit the sources.list you must type in a terminal : sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:49] <Awesome-o2000> gedit?!?!?
[10:49] <Awesome-o2000> NANO
[10:49] <Gooblakan> vik: hmm.... I'll give that a shot, thanks , be back shortly perhaps...
[10:50] <nocti> IcareZ, im okay with the repositories, i just forgot the command, thanks anyway
[10:50] <dbe> nocti, Make sure you dont have non-free repositories in source.list, it's evil software.
[10:50] <IcareZ> to have a good liste, go on http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[10:50] <ubuntu> emacs :)
[10:50] <nocti> dbe, sometimes evil is what i want hehe
[10:50] <brendonjt> Awesome-o2000: gedit is a txt  editor
[10:50] <ubuntu> nocti: apt-get install evil haha
[10:50] <Awesome-o2000> I know what it is
[10:50] <IcareZ> lol
[10:50] <IcareZ> ok
[10:50] <IcareZ> I have some problem with apt-get
[10:50] <nocti> thanks guys
[10:51] <brendonjt> Awesome-o2000: opps ok  cos u  went ????

[10:51] <brendonjt> Awesome-o2000: lol  was just trying to help
[10:51] <mkquist_> oops, nm
[10:51] <dbe> nocti, The free software movement is imporant for all of us.
[10:52] <Awesome-o2000> brendonjt, its all good, im just trying to share the love :)
[10:52] <IcareZ> ubuntu: it show : Ign http://archive.ubuntu.......
[10:52] <mkquist_> ubuntu-did he get the fat32 worked out?

[10:52] <vik> has anyone had any success using Place->Connect to Server in ubuntu?
[10:53] <nocti> eetfunk, chmod +x script.rb
[10:53] <IcareZ> then unable to download the file ....
[10:53] <Awesome-o2000> :( brendonjt I dont understand people trolling linux chat channels - the only times Ive ever done anything ban-worthy was in response to psychopathic ops in #fedora
[10:53] <IcareZ> but i can download the same file with firefox
[10:53] <ubuntu> vik:  i had once
[10:53] <ubuntu> i connected to ftp server
[10:53] <ubuntu> icon came on my desktop after that
[10:54] <vik> ubuntu: I've never had any success with samba or sftp.
[10:54] <fallingdutch> is there a way to extract the master-key of a luks encrypted partition?
[10:54] <vik> so much for 'just works'
[10:54] <nocti> eetfunk, and when you execute the script, do a "./script.rb" instead of "script.rb" because most probably the script is not in your path
[10:54] <IcareZ> help :p
[10:54] <ubuntu> vik: i did not chk samba, but ftp yes
[10:54] <eetfunk> nocti:  oh!  thats why
[10:54] <brendonjt> Awesome-o2000: lol  there was this guy  asking for help today and wasn't giving the whole story  took over an hour to get what he was wanting i gave up
[10:54] <vik> ubuntu: need sftp
[10:54] <ubuntu> vik:  what error u get?
[10:54] <Awesome-o2000> brendonjt, those people support vista development lol

[10:55] <brendonjt> Awesome-o2000: lol
[10:56] <Awesome-o2000> brendonjt, the worst insult i could think of at the moment :D
[10:56] <vik> ubuntu: spends a long time on it, then "Nautilus cannot display sftp://xxxxx Please select another viewer and try again."
[10:56] <ubuntu> vik: kinda of stupid question, but sshd is running right/
[10:56] <IcareZ> ubuntu: No i have tried to disable all firewall, but i have the same error
[10:57] <brendonjt> Awesome-o2000: true
[10:57] <ubuntu> IcareZ: r u runing apt-get as normal user or root?

[11:04] <ubuntu> yes opening link
[11:04] <ubuntu> hold on
[11:05] <IcareZ> ubuntu: sorry i dont understand
[11:05] <YoussefAssad> ubuntu: I had a look at that and I personally think it's pretty nifty. But I have partners (work) for whom I'd like to find something a little more newbie-friendly while not being too moronic (i.e. not sacrificing too much power)
[11:05] <Phreakys> hello

[11:08] <ubuntu> IcareZ: nope
[11:08] <cynical> IcareZ: ipv6 doesnt do anything bad for your system, why would you want to disable it?
[11:09] <ubuntu> omer:  trying to install kdevolp?
[11:09] <IcareZ> cynical: a other guy have the same problem than me, then he solve it by disable ipv6
[11:09] <cynical> IcareZ: whats your problem?
[11:09] <omer> Yes
 search in google
[11:09] <ubuntu> omer:  try this
[11:09] <redblades> mkquist_, I'm on ext3!
[11:10] <IcareZ> cynical: apt-get cant connect on package server
[11:10] <wifiworks> can any one tell me why i get DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to <IP_ADDRESS> port 67 interval 4
 there's somewhere in the ubuntu forum
[11:10] <wifiworks> for ever
[11:10] <wifiworks> well the 4 changes
[11:10] <wifiworks> hehe
[11:10] <ubuntu> omer:  type sudo apt-get install kdevelop3
[11:10] <omer> O.K.
[11:10] <wifiworks> i recompled the module from source and got it working for a  while
[11:10] <IcareZ> irawan: my problem is special because i can connect to the server with firefow
[11:10] <wifiworks> but then i started doing that
[11:11] <wifiworks> no dhcp :(
[11:11] <cynical> IcareZ: well if it'll help, sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
[11:11] <IcareZ> irawan: but not with apt-get or synaptic
[11:11] <IcareZ> cynical: and then ?
[11:11] <omer> Ubuntu, it doesn't work
[11:11] <cynical> IcareZ: then add alias net-pf-10 ipv6 off alias net-pf-10 off alias ipv6 off
[11:11] <ubuntu> omer: why?
[11:11] <ubuntu> it works here
[11:11] <omer> Couldn't find package kdevelop3
[11:11] <cynical> IcareZ: save and reboot to see if it helps
[11:11] <ubuntu> which ver?
[11:12] <ubuntu> 6?
[11:12] <IcareZ> cynical: ok
[11:12] <Negima> Wow I just upgraded to dapper, what a smooth install, and so many cool features

[11:12] <ubuntu> it works here
[11:12] <omer> Weird
[11:12] <YoussefAssad> Negima: hear hear. First distro to do suspend, hibernate, and also read the battery status correctly for me.
[11:13] <mkquist_> redblades-might wanna check out knoppix std
[11:13] <ubuntu> YoussefAssad: yes ubuntu is kool
[11:13] <ubuntu> hehe
[11:13] <IcareZ> cynical: must i add a # in front of : alias net-pf-10 ipv6
 wait, I'm on slow link
[11:13] <IcareZ> irawan: ok thx
[11:13] <Negima> YoussefAssad: Yep, on a laptop here so loving the lowered brightness option, dont know if its new but seems that way
 you can follow what cynical said, just the same thing
[11:13] <cynical> IcareZ: you dont have to
[11:13] <IcareZ> irawan: ok thx
[11:13] <IcareZ> cynical: ok
[11:14] <Negima> Where can i find out how to enable the cool graphics featured on dapper? xgl and suff, is there a howto?
[11:14] <ubuntu> !xgl
[11:14] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[11:15] <omer> Also kwifi isn't in the resporties
 or you can try this one http://www.ossgeeks.co.uk/?p=20
[11:15] <Negima> ubuntu: thanks
[11:16] <ubuntu> yw
[11:16] <ubuntu> omer: i think it is kwifimager something
[11:16] <redblades> mkquist_, what good will that do?
[11:17] <mkquist_> redblades-http://www.surfpack.com/software/recoverdatafromlinux/
[11:17] <mkquist_> nm on knoppix, dont think itll help on ext3
[11:17] <ubuntu> mkquist_: ver 5 ur on?
[11:18] <YoussefAssad> wifi-manager
[11:18] <omer> there is nothing with wifi in the name
[11:18] <ubuntu> omer hold on
[11:18] <YoussefAssad> the gnome wifi applet is far superior to the KDE tool, incidentally
[11:18] <mkquist_> redblades-sry nm on that too
[11:18] <ubuntu> omer:  name is kwifimanager
[11:18] <_lupine> and rutilt is far superior to them all ;)
[11:18] <IcareZ> cynical: im back
[11:18] <ubuntu> try apt-get install kwifimanager
[11:18] <_lupine> (well, it will be once it's finished...)
[11:19] <IcareZ> cynical: but i have the same error
[11:19] <omer> Nothing
[11:19] <Gyuszk> re
[11:19] <YoussefAssad> _lupine: I'll look at that...
[11:19] <_lupine> not in the repos... you'll have to make your own
[11:19] <cynical> IcareZ: yeah it doesnt have anything to do with ipv6
[11:19] <ubuntu> man i just downloaded it
[11:19] <cynical> IcareZ: whats the error again, you cant connect to any repos?
[11:19] <IcareZ> cynical: yes
[11:19] <ubuntu> updated from 5 to 6 a couple of hrs back omer :o
[11:19] <YoussefAssad> _lupine: yes, I noticed :)
[11:19] <cynical> IcareZ: and yet you are on irc and can ping servers fine, hmm. Whats the error say?
[11:19] <_lupine> that said, it works like a charm ('though it's focused on ralink cards). Easy to make and install, too.
[11:19] <IcareZ> cynical: i have change the dns ip, but after a reboot ubuntu dont remember anything
[11:19] <omer> I have it from disk
[11:20] <omer> I didn't change the res. or anything else
[11:20] <_lupine> Or grab a .deb from http://ubuntu.lupine.me.uk/dists/dapper/main/binary-i386 (ralink-config)
[11:20] <ubuntu> omer let me get the link
[11:20] <cynical> IcareZ: why did you change the dns? Is your isp's not good for you?
[11:20] <_lupine> now I must get to work
[11:20] <ubuntu> u know how to wget?
[11:20] <IcareZ> its not the dns of my isp's
[11:21] <YoussefAssad> _lupine: thanks for the recommendation. Merry work! :)
[11:21] <IcareZ> cynical: the apt-get update answer is here : http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=58855
[11:21] <IcareZ> cynical: some part in french, sorry
[11:21] <SirKillalot> does anybody know where to get ekiga's sourcecode from?

[11:23] <redondo81> can you suggest me a partition editor for kde?Thanks
[11:24] <mkquist_> ubuntu- im sry ver 5?
[11:24] <IcareZ> cynical: have you the link ?
[11:24] <fallingdutch> how can i extract the master-key of a luks encrypted device?
[11:24] <cynical> IcareZ: do you have a router?
[11:25] <YoussefAssad> Phreakys: any luck?
[11:25] <IcareZ> cynical: yes
[11:25] <IcareZ> cynical: a linksys one
[11:25] <cynical> IcareZ: change the dns info to the ip of the router
[11:26] <redondo81> Soryym I have problems with the connection....can you suggest me a partition editor for kde?
[11:26] <cynical> IcareZ: it should then get it from your isp
[11:26] <IcareZ> cynical: i have already tried it
[11:26] <IcareZ> cynical: ok
[11:26] <cynical> IcareZ: do you know your isp's dns servers?
[11:26] <IcareZ> cynical: yes
[11:26] <IcareZ> cynical: must i reboot to apply dns change ?
[11:26] <cynical> IcareZ: Yes
[11:26] <ramvi> Hi, could you help me find a php-editor? I need the ability to search for text through a whole dir or project...
[11:26] <IcareZ> cynical: ok
[11:26] <tuxtux> ciao
[11:27] <redondo81> no one know a good partition editor for kde?
[11:28] <brendonjt> redondo81: sorry i  use gnome
[11:28] <redondo81> no problem:)
[11:28] <|brad|> qtparted?
[11:31] <IcareZ> cynical: re
[11:32] <IcareZ> cynical: with the router dns, i have the same problem
[11:32] <IcareZ> cynical: but i can go on internet
[11:32] <crackSqu1rrel> so in the different window managers, they have different code frameworks and APIs, so that is why you need a different app under KDE than under Gnome in some cases, depending on the applications used libaries/APIs?
[11:34] <cynical> IcareZ: well I'm sorry but I dont know what else to do. For now you can still get packages from http://packages.ubuntu.com
[11:34] <IcareZ> ok thx
[11:34] <IcareZ> cynical: can i reinstall ubuntu ?
[11:35] <cynical> IcareZ: yes I would try that
[11:35] <IcareZ> cynical: does change anything
[11:35] <Andy-> cynical: I got it to work :D
[11:35] <IcareZ> cynical: ok thx a lot for your help
[11:35] <cynical> IcareZ: np
[11:35] <cynical> Andy-: what did you do?
[11:35] <Andy-> cynical: it was my router, i turned off the WEP password and it worked...
[11:36] <Andy-> cynical: im going to look into it
[11:36] <Andy-> cynical: just one more question = how do i install a .rpm file?
[11:36] <YoussefAssad> apt-get install alien && man alien
[11:36] <YoussefAssad> Andy-: that was for you! :)
[11:36] <cynical> Andy-: I wouldnt do that, why do you need to?
[11:37] <cynical> Andy: alien converts rpms to deb files
[11:37] <Andy-> installing limewire
[11:37] <Andy-> hold on
[11:37] <cynical> Andy-: ah, check this out instead, http://www.frostwire.com/
[11:37] <Andy-> YoussefAssad: if the file is in my home directory LimeWireLinux.rpm what do i type?
[11:38] <YoussefAssad> Andy-: man alien
[11:38] <cynical> Andy-: frostwire is a free fork of limewire, you would be better off installing it imho
[11:38] <Andy-> cynical: u sure?
[11:38] <cynical> Andy-: yes, there is no difference except one is free and opensource
[11:38] <cynical> Andy-: they use the same network
[11:39] <Andy-> ok 1 more question = how do i install winrar? i got the winrar linux file its a .tar.gz and i extracted it
[11:39] <muhammad> any sudo apt-get install rar
[11:39] <lab_monkey> anyone know wat packages are nescessary to compile opengl programs ?
[11:39] <itsmegb> Andy: archive manager can handle .rar files
 it cant *_*
[11:40] <itsmegb> muhammad: does for me, well opens them atleast
[11:40] <_DvP_> Hello all
[11:40] <muhammad> hmm
[11:40] <muhammad> may be !
[11:40] <Andy-> muhammad: sudo apt-get install rar didn't work
[11:41] <YoussefAssad> muhammad: archive manager probably checks to see if there's a working rar available
[11:41] <muhammad> Andy- u activate the repositories ?
[11:41] <gerald> is there anyway I can stop the sound jittering when my harddrive is loading something
[11:41] <Andy-> muhammad: huh?
[11:41] <YoussefAssad> Andy-: rar is in an external repo AFAIK.
[11:41] <irawan> muhammad: I used automatix to install rar
[11:41] <gerald> especially in firefox, this problem doesn't seem to hapen when I apt-get install something
[11:41] <YoussefAssad> Andy-: you need to add another source
[11:41] <Andy-> YoussefAssad: what u mean another? i just downloaded the tar.gz off their site...
 you're right
[11:41] <muhammad> !tell andy about repositories
[11:42] <irawan> Andy; see ubuntuguide.org
[11:43] <muhammad> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Repositories/Ubuntu?action=show&redirect=AddingRepositoriesHowto
[11:43] <irawan> Andy: for automatix and adding repos
 follow that link
[11:43] <YoussefAssad> Andy-: It's considered good form to always use the package manager. You can use the tarball, but it's cleaner to use the package management system because it handles dependencies, uninatall, etc. To get rar, you just need to add a new repo and then you'll find it in the installable packages. irawan mentioned automztix, that's a great way to get rar as well as a lot of other missing goodies
[11:43] <Andy-> iratsu: can u just tell me what to do please all the files are extracted
[11:43] <YoussefAssad> !tell YoussefAssad about automatix
[11:43] <Andy-> ok and what do i do in the pm (packetmanager)
[11:44] <YoussefAssad> !tell Andy- about automatix
[11:44] <irawan> Andy: please check those links first
[11:44] <YoussefAssad> !tell YoussefAssad about life
[11:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about life - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:44] <muhammad> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu try this link Andy
[11:44] <muhammad> and u will know abt what we are sayin !
[11:45] <DeKo> hey all
 hey
[11:45] <itsmegb> the package was unrar by the way, i think
[11:46] <muhammad> itsmegb> there are two packages could deal with .rar files
[11:46] <muhammad> rar and unrar ;)
[11:46] <YoussefAssad> itsmegb: I see both package names in my sources
[11:46] <itsmegb> ahhh
[11:46] <DeKo> Does somebody have an All-In-Wonder card?
[11:46] <itsmegb> i only see unrar and unrar-free
[11:47] <YoussefAssad> crap, I forgot where I parked my car
[11:47] <muhammad> itsmegb now u saw rar , unrar and unrar-free :P
[11:47] <itsmegb> yep, now i see rar, haven't got my brain switched on this morning :P
[11:47] <muhammad> heh
[11:47] <cwillu> I've got this interesting glitch on my main desktop, where it hangs whenever I connect to irc;  can no longer ping or ssh to it, and the mouse is just frozen.  Any ideas?
[11:48] <itsmegb> ^^ how are you on irc now then?
[11:48] <cwillu> different machine
[11:48] <cwillu> (re:  the machine that I'm trying to ping and ssh from)
[11:48] <DonLemmi> Hi, is there a way to install ubuntu via network? Like with the debian businesscard-image?
[11:49] <muhammad> DonLemmi u can try sudo nano -w /etc/network/interfaces
[11:49] <vik> !acroread
[11:49] <ubotu> acroread: Adobe Acrobat Reader: Portable Document Format file viewer. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 7.0.1-0.0.ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 22263 kB, installed size 53192 kB (Only available for i386)
[11:50] <DonLemmi> muhammad, i dont understand? I want to install a fresh system via network
[11:50] <muhammad> !ping me
[11:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ping me - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
 there's a guide for warty I somewhere, from there you can upgrade to dapper
[11:50] <redblades> Hi, I'm on ext3, and I've lost a lot of files.
[11:50] <vik> !mozilla-acroread
[11:50] <ubotu> mozilla-acroread: Adobe Acrobat(R) Reader plugin for mozilla / konqueror. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 7.0.1-0.0.ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 448 kB, installed size 1268 kB (Only available for i386)
[11:50] <redblades> Is there any way to recover them?
 aha sorry didnt get ya correctly
[11:50] <cwillu> redblades, lost in what sense?
[11:50] <vik> does mozilla-acroread plugin work for anyone?
[11:50] <redblades> I installed gddrescue, but I don't know how to run it!
[11:51] <vik> acroread works, and plugin works in mozilla, but not in firefox
[11:51] <redblades> cwillu, I was moving some folders, and somehow I copied across just folders and lost all content.
[11:52] <cwillu> redblades, and the originals were wiped?  does anything extra show up if you check from a root shell (sudo -s)?
[11:52] <redblades> Uhh... not that I can see... I use what does the -s do?
[11:52] <redblades> (ignore "i use"
[11:53] <cwillu> gives you a root prompt that you can change directories and ls in
[11:53] <cwillu> it's just a wild shot in the dark though
[11:53] <redblades> Nope... nothing more...
[11:54] <KenSentMe> I just tried to install vmware-player on Dapper Drake, but i get this error. Does anyone know how to solve it? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22033
[11:54] <redblades> cwillu, ?
[11:54] <gerald> what package do I install for obtaining the X11 libraries?
[11:55] <cwillu> redblades:  looking up the gddrescue docs
[11:55] <muhammad> hmm time for prayin in egypt laterz guys :>>>
[11:55] <redblades> KenSentMe, ich keine sprechen sie deutche... (sorry qabout spelling)
[11:55] <redblades> Uhhh...
[11:55] <KenSentMe> redblades: that's not german but dutch and you don't need to. The error is in english
[11:56] <redblades> Sorry, that's
[11:56] <redblades> KenSentMe, yeah, I just realised after a second...
[11:56] <KenSentMe> redblades: lol
[11:56] <redblades> (about it being dutch)
[11:56] <Andy-> can som1 help me install Wine?
[11:56] <gerald> what package do I install to get the X11 development packages
[11:56] <cwillu> redblades, don't think gddrescue is the tool for this job, unless you got ioerrors while copying/moving, and the originals still show up but are merely corrupted
[11:57] <redblades> Aghh
[11:57] <Andy-> can som1 help me with wine?
[11:57] <redblades> Andy-, sudo apt-get install wine
[11:57] <redblades> cwillu, any other ideas?
[11:58] <cwillu> I'm looking I'm looking :p
[11:58] <app> Is there a guide for "supporting Ubuntu in a corporate Microsoft environment", or similar?
[11:58] <Madpilot> app, not currently - want to write one for us? ;)
[11:58] <cwillu> app, anything in particular you're having trouble with?
[11:59] <cwillu> (still looking redblades )
[11:59] <redblades> cwillu, sorry, anxious, thanks,
[11:59] <cwillu> redblades, hmm, this isn't looking promising actually
[12:00] <itsmegb> Andy: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=149585&highlight=howto+wine
[12:00] <app> Well, we have images made, and some nerds using Ubuntu successfully. Personally I have troubles in even booting it, because I can not touch my MBR and I fail to laod my Ubuntu partition after booting from a GRUB boot CD...
[12:00] <redblades> cwillu, Wahhh!!!
[12:01] <cwillu> redblades, if my reading of this is correct, ext3 deals with deleting files by actually zero'ing out the contents
[12:01] <cwillu> so, if they actually got deleted/unlinked, then they're actually gone, unless something made a copy somewhere
[12:01] <cwillu> redblades, how exactly were you moving them?
[12:01] <redblades> cwillu, is it any help if I haven't shut down since it happened?
[12:02] <cwillu> redblades, depends on the data and usage
[12:02] <redblades> cwillu, mv /var/www/* /home/redblades/Desktop
[12:02] <app> Is it possible to boot the live CD, install on hard disk partition X without touching the MBR or Windows partitions and then use the live CD to boot the new Ubuntu partition from hard disk?
[12:02] <redblades> cwillu, mv /var/www/* /home/redblades/Desktop/temp
[12:02] <redblades> Sorry, the second one
[12:02] <cwillu> ?
[12:02] <cwillu> k
[12:02] <cwillu> did temp already exist?
[12:02] <boomslap> Hello.  This might be the wrong place for this.  I am trying to create a partition in Partition Magic (Windows) to install ubuntu.  I have 23 gigs unused, but the max space allowable for a new partition is 4 gigs.  What can I do?  (I actually did try to create a partition just from the ubuntu install also and that couldn't get the space either).
[12:02] <cwillu> (and no other flags on the command?)
[12:03] <martinz> good download manager for ubuntu?
[12:03] <cwillu> boomslap, the ubuntu installer should be able to handle resizing the partitions as neccessary
[12:03] <cwillu> and or making new ones of whatever size
[12:03] <gerald> ow do I open a program in terminal without making that terminal dependant on that program
[12:03] <cwillu> oops, guess you said you tried that :/
[12:03] <gerald> gerald so i can still use tha tterminal
[12:03] <app> Or alternatively, does anyone know if you can make my Pointsec encrypted Windows partition boot, if I install GRUB on MBR. Pointsec does not officially support that.
[12:04] <boomslap> Yeah.  I tried the default install option as well as the continuous space option.
[12:04] <cwillu> redblades, still there?
[12:04] <cwillu> redblades, the second one was the exact command line, no extra flags or anything?
[12:04] <redblades> Yeah, I found an article on Linux.com
[12:04] <redblades> cwillu, yes
[12:04] <cwillu> did the temp folder already exist?
[12:05] <app> boomslap. I don't understand why Partition Magic would not use the 23 G space. Can you double check? Is it that you clearly see in Magic a continuous empty 23 G sequence in the ned of the disk, or what?
[12:06] <boomslap> Yes.  There is a continous white patch of empty space at the end of my C:\
[12:06] <app> And what's the phrasing, when it refuses to use it all?
[12:07] <boomslap> Just when I go to create a new partition, maximum size is listed as 4612 mb, and I cannot go over that at all.
[12:07] <redblades> cwillu, I had just created it...
[12:08] <kayde> I need help with bluetooth!!!!! i cant get it working!!!
[12:09] <kayde> why is it so quiet?
[12:09] <Awesome-o2000> boomslap, sounds like you're using fat16
[12:09] <kayde> ?
[12:09] <boomslap> It is NTFS.
[12:09] <cwillu>  we're all thinking
[12:09] <KenSentMe> !bluetooth
[12:09] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[12:09] <kayde> thanks
[12:09] <cwillu> boomslap, not the partition that's already there
[12:10] <cwillu> Awesome-o2000, boomslap, doesn't really explain why ubuntu is having trouble though
[12:10] <boomslap> Well, it is labeled as NTFS in Partition Magic.  The C:\ drive, that is.
[12:10] <cwillu> boomslap, unpartitioned space doesn't have a type
[12:10] <boomslap> I am trying to create a new partition from partitioned space.
[12:10] <cwillu> boomslap, you can have ntfs and ext3 and reiserfs all on the same drive
[12:11] <cwillu> ?
[12:11] <boomslap> The entire drive is currently in one NTFS partition.
[12:11] <cwillu> so you don't have empty space yet
[12:11] <boomslap> Right.
[12:11] <boomslap> Nothing is unallocated.
[12:11] <Awesome-o2000> boomslap, looks like you're going to need to resize your ntfs partition
[12:11] <cwillu> and it'll only let you resize it by 4 gigs?
[12:11] <boomslap> Create a new one from it.
[12:11] <boomslap> If I resize it smaller, do I risk losing any files?
[12:11] <cwillu> quite
[12:12] <app> boomslap, you probably have 4 G empty un-partioned space somewhere.
[12:12] <Awesome-o2000> boomslap, my recommendation is to defrag then resize
[12:12] <cwillu> you're moving data around, and if the machine crashes (power goes out, etc) while it does that, you're probably hosed
[12:12] <app> That's all you can do before to resize the existing partition
[12:12] <cwillu> but you'll need to resize it to make a new partition...
[12:12] <boomslap> Ah.
[12:12] <gerald> is there a way I can ls hidden files only?
[12:13] <cwillu> it's technically possible to make a partition out of a file in ntfs, but you'd be running experimental stuff on top of other experimental stuff, etc
[12:13] <boomslap> So barring a crash, power out... resizing won't impact any data currently on the partition as long is I make it greater than what I have?
[12:14] <cwillu> boomslap, you can resize it down to the amount of data you have in the partition (i.e., if you have an 80gig partition with 20gig of data, you should be able to resize it down to around 20gigs, freeing up 60 to make a new partition (although you really want to leave some free space on the old partition))
[12:14] <kayde> KenSentMe: erm...its too complex for me :(
[12:14] <boomslap> Okay. :)
[12:14] <app> Resizing with Partition Magic is quite safe, but let's say you have a 1/1000 chance to screw up, if you don't defraqment first, and 1/10000 if you do.
[12:14] <boomslap> Got it.  Thanks for the help.
[12:14] <Awesome-o2000> you will defragment, thats an order mister.
[12:14] <cwillu> boomslap, just don't do it with stuff you absolutely can't afford to lose, because it's always a possibility
[12:14] <t-thing> Where can I find multimedia output selector? I remember seeing it in previous versions of gnome but now I can't find it.
[12:15] <cwillu> redblades, any luck?
[12:16] <app> boomslap, the biggest risk is if your hard diks is old or bad, and it suddenly goes bad with all this new busy activity...
[12:16] <kayde> I need help with bluetooth...I am a total linux newb..!
[12:16] <redblades> Uhh, I it looks promising...
[12:17] <mikeconcepts> how do i get a channel list?
[12:17] <HFall> can anybody help me?
[12:17] <ranpha> hi question, i want to know something about filesystem.. No not which is better and faster for boot. No i want to know which filesystem is best for datastorage.It has to be safe, stable less errors and a undelete function.. what do you think?
[12:18] <gerald> #
[12:18] <e-type> re all
[12:18] <ranpha> mikeconcepts   typ /list
[12:18] <kayde> man!
[12:18] <mikeconcepts> ranpha: mant thanks
[12:18] <mikeconcepts> many
[12:18] <Samuli^> ranpha, well undelete rules out ext3 which would have been otherwise me thinks.
[12:19] <Samuli^> +fine
[12:19] <cwillu> isn't there some kernel option that layers undelete over top now?
[12:19] <cwillu> ranpha, what style of undelete do you need?
[12:19] <app> Has anyone any experience with the Canonical basic 250 dollar/year support package? Can they provide detailed technical help for experts, or is it only for newbies?
[12:20] <kayde> how long do i have to wait for help, or is there an easier way
[12:20] <ranpha> Well I want a filesystem which is as stable as a nuclair shelter....i thinking about ext3 ,ext2 and fat
[12:20] <kayde> any forums?
[12:20] <Samuli^> ranpha, rule out fat for starters.
[12:20] <app> Is it any better than self-help here, in the Wiki and in Google.
[12:21] <infidel> !mp3

[12:21] <ranpha> Samuli......i mean fat32 off course :=)....
[12:21] <cwillu> ranpha, what type of undelete though?  recyclebin style, full archival, full-archival with branching?
[12:21] <Samuli^> ranpha, yes, forget about it :)
[12:21] <Lynoure> ranpha: even hardware is not that stable, so remember offsite backups
[12:21] <emil_> Hello
[12:21] <ranpha> Cwillu no recycle (need every bit i can get my hands on, so full archival...???
[12:21] <emil_> I downloaded a file
[12:22] <emil_> But Totem says: " You do not have a decoder to handle this file"
[12:22] <emil_> What should i install
[12:22] <emil_> other films i could play
[12:22] <Madpilot> kayde, ubuntuforums.org - but try repeating your question about 5-10 minutes after you first ask it; people come and go and miss questions they can answer
[12:22] <cynical> ranpha: also rule out ext2, which is just ext3 without journaling
[12:22] <app> ranpha and others, I would just be happy with Windows-stype recycling help, but file system level, nothing like desktop level or alias rm=saferm level.
[12:22] <kayde> I cant get my damn USB bluetooth adapter to work any help??!
[12:23] <t-thing> Where can I find the multimedia systems selector in Gnome?
[12:23] <Samuli^> cwillu, if you really need safe storage, maybe you should use raid. Although I don't know how well software raid works in linux and hardware is costy,
[12:23] <cwillu> ranpha, so you need historical?  what granularity?  (i.e., if a program writes something to a file every 10 seconds for a year, do you need every version?)
[12:23] <Madpilot> !bluetooth
[12:23] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[12:23] <Madpilot> kayde, ^^^
[12:23] <cwillu> Samuli^, raid works fine, but that's not what ranpha's asking about
[12:23] <cwillu> or at least, not everything that he's asking about
[12:23] <ranpha> Cwillu it's for photo/images storage and where talking about 900 gig on photos
[12:23] <kayde> Madpilot: nope...i cant understand that stuff
[12:24] <kayde> Madpilot: its mumbojumbo for me
[12:24] <redblades> cwillu, I've started the program, but I'm confused about which part to scan... it has Whole Disk (but it says empty, so that's not it)
[12:24] <cwillu> ranpha, would something like a write-once file system be appropriate then?
[12:24] <Madpilot> kayde, then ask specific questions about the parts of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup that you don't understand...
[12:24] <Samuli^> cwillu, I know, I was just trying add some options for him because hardware is prone to break up.
[12:24] <app> As far as I understand there is no usable simple "undelete" for ext2, ext3 or reiserfs?
[12:24] <emil_> Totem says, you do not have decoder to handle this file, what should i install, it's a wmv file
[12:24] <ranpha> cwillu write-once???
[12:25] <cynical> emil_: install w32codecs
[12:25] <cwillu> ranpha, files are readonly once written
[12:25] <Samuli^> app, I think there is for atleast ext2.
[12:25] <app> I have tried the ext2/3 undelete tools with very moderate success.
[12:25] <kayde> Madpilot: I intend on fixing it tonight, not in 3 weeks...;-)
[12:25] <ranpha> no cwillu...i need to make changes to it....like putting in more photo's and deleting some dupilcates
[12:25] <cwillu> redblades, what app? gddrescue still?
[12:25] <Nameless> someone could help me ? http://beer.altervista.org/amsn-cvs_.png
[12:25] <Madpilot> kayde, then you're going to have to ask lots of good questions in here tonight...
[12:26] <cwillu> ranpha, but the duplicates would have to be undeletable for all time?
[12:26] <redblades> Uhh.. no. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22033
[12:26] <redblades> Ooops
[12:26] <ranpha> Cwillu no
[12:26] <emil_> cynical: how do i install w32codecs
[12:26] <redblades> cwillu, http://servers.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/08/21/1558230&from=rss
[12:26] <cwillu> ranpha, then it'd be easier to have a file system that's write once, and then another file system that just links to iot
[12:26] <Losty> yo
[12:26] <RMorris84> what codecs do i need to watch .mov files?
[12:26] <rooter> emil_: apt-get install w42codecs

[12:29] <william_> are ther any ladies that want there pussy ate
[12:29] <kayde> in a sunny day with flying pigs
[12:29] <cwillu> ranpha, I'd recommend sticking with ext3 then, it's the most stable file system on linux
[12:29] <Lynoure> !language
[12:29] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:29] <Losty> yeah i reckon
[12:29] <mif> hi
[12:30] <kayde> yup
[12:30] <jorik> emil_: did you try playing it with xine ? xine worked perfectly for me after i installed the W32codecs
[12:30] <cynical> emil_: well you should be able to play it with w32codecs, if not try sudo apt-get install vlc and see if it can play it
[12:30] <mif> Is there anybody from PL?
[12:30] <ranpha> cwillu okay thanks
[12:30] <cynical> mif: :o
[12:30] <cynical> mif: cant read it but I can speak it!
[12:30] <|brad|> anyone have sata2 working in ubuntu?
[12:30] <cynical> mif: polish american :\
[12:30] <kayde> i need help with bluetooth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[12:31] <cynical> |brad|: my drive is sata2 and it works in ubuntu
[12:31] <app> cwillu, ranpha, I guess I tried "undelete" and "recover" to undelete files in ext2, to no success. The gddrescue you mentioned seems to be something else, not undelete.
[12:31] <mif> cynical, ok thx :)
[12:31] <william_> hello any ladies wanna chat]
[12:31] <purfier> |brad|: yes
[12:31] <cynical> mif: lol np
[12:31] <|brad|> oh really?
[12:31] <purfier> |brad|: no problem at all
[12:31] <cynical> |brad|: yes indeed
[12:31] <|brad|> onboard chipsets?
[12:31] <cwillu> app, yes, gddrescue is corruption recovery
[12:31] <purfier> plug and play
[12:31] <purfier> :)
[12:31] <purfier> yes, onboard
[12:31] <cynical> |brad|: yep onboard
[12:31] <kayde> ;-)
[12:31] <|brad|> bah :)
[12:31] <cwillu> app:  redblades had mentioned a url
[12:31] <purfier> hehe
[12:31] <ranpha> App , cwillu, what i find is strange is there really no program to recover lost files on ext2 ext3??? not even for data experts??
[12:31] <cynical> |brad|: mine is of the jmicron variety *sigh*
[12:31] <|brad|> i have a promise tx2300 sata2 card
[12:32] <rapier> my xubuntu server stopped responding on the network and i couldn't get a signal from the monitor and had to hard boot - how do i found out what went wrong?
[12:32] <purfier> http://home.dreamtec.org/log
[12:32] <cwillu> ranpha, you can go poking through the contents with any disk editor
[12:32] <redblades> ranpha, there is - just that it's not as easy as Winpoo.
[12:32] <Nameless> could someome help me ?
[12:32] <Nameless> -_
[12:33] <ranpha> redblades......and??? youre gonna tell how?
[12:33] <cynical> |brad|: read this, http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/showproduct.php?product=3253&cat=303
[12:33] <cwillu> ranpha, ext3 just tries really really hard not to lose stuff in the first place (/lost+found generally contains stuff it finds after a hard reboot, generally stuff that was unlinked, but the metadata wasn't updated yet)
[12:33] <|brad|> cynical purfier, i  installed kernel <IP_ADDRESS> which said had support for my card... still doesnt work... have any ideas for me?
[12:33] <redblades> Look at the URL above (by me)
[12:34] <redblades> ranpha, http://servers.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/08/21/1558230&from=rss
[12:34] <cwillu> ranpha, lost-as-in-deleted-files really shouldn't be easily recoverable, and ext3 is robust to pretty much everything else that would cause it, beyond hardware failure
[12:34] <rapier> anyone? how do i find out why my server crashed?
[12:35] <e-type> rapier: by checking the logs
[12:35] <Awesome-o2000> ranpha, is it THAT hard to simply pay attention to what you're doing?
[12:35] <rapier> which logs?
[12:35] <ranpha> Thanks cwillu....btw something complety different...is it possibel to have both a wired network and a wireless netwrok?
[12:35] <cwillu> yep
[12:35] <Nameless> i have a problem with amsn
[12:35] <cwillu> ranpha, might be non-trivial to set up, but it should be quite possible
[12:35] <emil_> cynical: how do i see the film in VLC
[12:35] <e-type> rapier: the ones in /var/log/
[12:35] <emil_> cynical: i only head the sound
[12:35] <ranpha> Awesome-o2000 YES IT IS <-----HITS MY SELF......really it is....
[12:35] <cynical> |brad|: apparently openSUSE 10.1 has support, but sadly I dont see anything for ubuntu
[12:36] <cynical> emil_: because its drm'd porn, it wont work!
[12:36] <cwillu> ranpha, are you familiar with the command line methods of configuring interfaces?
[12:36] <Awesome-o2000> ranpha, are you sure you want to use LInux?
[12:36] <rapier> i checked the syslog and there's nothing in there
[12:36] <emil_> cynical: lol it is tv capture
[12:36] <emil_> but i'll check it in windows
[12:36] <cynical> emil_: I'm telling you, the only reason it would not work is because of copy protection
[12:37] <cynical> emil_: which I'm sure you dont have enabled on your tv capture card :P
[12:37] <Awesome-o2000> emil_, no porn for you - 1 year!
[12:37] <emil_> lol :P
[12:37] <ranpha> Awesome-o2000 my misake is as easily made in windows as in linux....i was just drunken (without any alchol) and manual delete both files on my hdd and backuphdd....how is that for stable
[12:37] <e-type> rapier: you'll have to give more symptoms to find a cure ;)
[12:37] <HeathenDan> darn it. how come whenever i insert a data dvd in my drive, it appears for a split second on the file manager and disappears? ubuntu doesn't mount it. =\
[12:37] <emil_> cynical: it's this file:http://rapidshare.de/files/30233017/Groningen_-_Fey_2006.wmv.html
[12:37] <rapier> e-type: i want to, but i don't know how to find them or what i'm looking for
[12:37] <cynical> emil_: ok I'll check it
[12:37] <cwillu> ranpha, should probably get in the habit of mv'ing stuff instead, or just using gnome/nautilus (which has a trash bin)
[12:38] <ranpha> cwillu i prefer using networkmanager but i want to do this. have two account. one is connect to wirless and the other is connect to wired network
[12:38] <Awesome-o2000> ranpha, then your problem is not with the file system, its with paying attention to what you are doing. Do that, and you can choose whatever file system you want. Don't blame it on the OS if you do something careless.
[12:38] <emil_> cynical: it's a captured soccer match
[12:38] <cwillu> ranpha, but I generally appreciate it that stuff (such as private keys) is actually gone when I tell the system to remove it :)
[12:38] <AndyIsMVP> cynical: Hey Cynical! Can you help me with something else?
[12:38] <ranpha> Awesome-o2000 i not blaming anybody just my self.....
[12:38] <cynical> AndyIsMVP: sure dude whats up?
[12:39] <cwillu> ranpha, or start using version control on your photo's
[12:39] <e-type> rapier: is the damn thing running? did it simply get stuck? did smoke come out of it? we know less than you do
[12:39] <denver1> does anyone how how to creat  a SmartBoot Manager boot cd?
[12:39] <Awesome-o2000> ranpha, alrighty - but you'd be better served by paying better attention rather than looking for a marine-proof file system
[12:39] <AndyIsMVP> cynical: Wine is up :P how do I install it? Iv googled around and there have been problems on amd64 got any ideas?
[12:39] <rapier> e-type it just got stuck, it stopped responding to the network and wouldn't send any signal to the monitor. it had to be hard boot
[12:39] <ranpha> Cwillue or i need to format my diskthe right way... I formatted then in a NSLU2 :-)
[12:39] <e-type> HeathenDan: is there no error message at all?
[12:39] <HeathenDan> none
[12:40] <e-type> HeathenDan: insert the disk and run 'mount' in a terminal. does it show up as mounted?
[12:40] <HeathenDan> yes, it mounts if i manually mount it

[12:50] <RichEd> infidel: Where are you ? can I ping you for a private conversation (Canonical requirement)
[12:50] <kayde> HOW THE @#$% do I Install the dam themes ive downloaded?????!!!!!
[12:50] <kintaro0e> hello guys..how to create alias?
[12:50] <AndyIsMVP> cynical: E: Unable to find a source package for wine
[12:50] <AndyIsMVP> cynical: It still says it
[12:50] <kayde> kintaro0e: /nick
[12:50] <infidel> RichEd, yes
[12:50] <kayde> kintaro0e: /nick <then the name>
[12:50] <RMorris84> kayde... chill, then just drag and drop the tar.gz into the theme manager in system/pref/themes
[12:51] <e-type> rapier: not much, you'd have to try to reproduce it
[12:51] <cynical> try getting it from cvs: http://www.codeweavers.com/support/docs/wine-user/getting-wine-source
[12:51] <kintaro0e> kayde: nope..i mean i'll alias my user to root :)
[12:51] <rapier> great, it's happened twice at around 2am
[12:51] <wolfrider> Have a problem  installing ubuntu on my laptop.
[12:51] <wolfrider> Cannot make / on ext3 is the error during install.
[12:51] <e-type> kintaro0e: so you mean a shell alias?
[12:51] <pharcvde> anyone here use reiserfs or xfs?
[12:52] <due> newbie alert, anyway, long story short: i was compiling something as root, realiesd i was doing make install before make, ctrl+c'ed out... and discovered that nothing works any more. :\
[12:52] <e-type> kintaro0e: you shouldn't give yourself root rights all the time
[12:52] <kayde> kintaro0e: ohhh i get ya, i thought a irc alias
[12:52] <kintaro0e> i mean i'll alias my user to root :)
[12:52] <rapier> i sure am glad that i installed the super stable ubuntu instead of windows so i don't have to reboot my machine all the time *rolleyes*
[12:52] <kintaro0e> ah
[12:52] <ranpha> btw how can you really format a ext3 disk good. because when i delete a partion and then make a new one it shows all the old files just sitting there?
[12:52] <kintaro0e> kayde: hheheh
[12:52] <Losty81> I was wondering if anyone here could help me with getting wireless running on my laptop --- wireless is only method I have of connecting this computer to net --- i dual boot  xp/ubuntu
[12:53] <e-type> kintaro0e: you can't "alias" a user... you can use su or sudo, but it would be unwise to have root rights all the time
[12:53] <ranpha> losty81 how can i help?
[12:53] <pharcvde> Losty81, what kind of laptop
[12:53] <due> "bash: cd: permission denied" :s
[12:53] <kayde> I need help!! I CANT get the friken themes i downloaded to install, i cant figure it out...!
[12:53] <RMorris84> kayde: did u see my response?
[12:53] <e-type> due: is that as user or as root?
[12:53] <pharcvde> err what kind of wireless actually?
[12:53] <due> e-type: as user
[12:53] <Losty81> broadcom --
[12:53] <due> e-type: i can't even log in any more
[12:53] <pharcvde> are you trying wep
[12:54] <kintaro0e> e-type: for example if there is an email to the root, then i could read on it
[12:54] <pharcvde> or wpa?
[12:54] <kayde> RMorris84: OHHHHH TY!
[12:54] <RMorris84> np
[12:54] <due> e-type: i kind of get the impression that i've fucked the filesystem
[12:54] <ranpha> braodcom...of dear losty81 use ndiswrapper
[12:54] <RMorris84> losty81 i have a broadcom
[12:54] <RMorris84> on my presario laptop
[12:54] <e-type> due: that would be an odd makefile ;)
[12:54] <wolfrider> any one help me with solution to error during install. (couldnt make / on ext3)
[12:54] <due> e-type: :) hehe
[12:55] <kayde> RMorris84: erm, wherre is that?
[12:55] <e-type> due: what's 'ls -l' say on the folder you're trying to get into?
[12:55] <due> e-type: nothing works.
[12:55] <RMorris84> what the theme manager?
[12:55] <kayde> RMorris84: file system?
[12:55] <due> e-type: it ended up shutting down on me, booting up, i can't even log in; says it doesn't have permission to chdir to my home directory
[12:55] <cynical> RMorris84: Easy ubuntu enables playing of mov files, but if you are desperate theres a package in the repos called quicktime-x11utils which comes with lqtplay, a 'simple player for movies in Quicktime format'
[12:55] <e-type> due: you somehow changed some permissions
[12:55] <due> e-type: okay...
[12:56] <e-type> due: you'll have to boot into rescue mode, login as root and set permissions right
[12:56] <due> e-type: any idea how i'd go about fixing them? :)
[12:56] <due> okay
[12:56] <hadrien> how can I install the new java version ?
[12:56] <due> :D
[12:56] <RMorris84> kayde: where is what?
[12:56] <Luck> How big file is possible send via Samba?
[12:56] <OmegaNine> Why isnt xine or gmplayer in Multivers, i would think it woudl be.
[12:56] <e-type> due: the fact that you get to the login shows that it's not completely screwed ;)
[12:56] <due> e-type: great, would you be able to explain what needs to be changed?
[12:56] <RMorris84> cynical thanks illl try that
[12:56] <due> e-type: YAY :)
[12:56] <e-type> due: sorry, leaving in 3 minutes ;)
[12:56] <due> e-type: This is really my first major foreay into linux; i've run it on another pc for a while, but i decided that i liked it so much, i'd dual boot windows/linux :)
[12:56] <tjb> Why is Ubuntu more popular than Kubuntu?
[12:56] <e-type> due: must study, but there's other guys around ;)
[12:56] <due> aww. :) can you point me in the right direction?
[12:57] <due> ie, what to google for? :)
[12:57] <e-type> due: just check your home folder, it should still be owned by your user and rwx for your user
[12:58] <due> e-type: okay :)
[12:58] <e-type> due: an 'ls -l /home' should show you
[12:58] <tjb> Is it mainly because of GNOME?  Is it also because Ubuntu has been around for longer?
[12:59] <kayde> RMorris84: erm, it says its done it, and its now avaliable, but its not in the themes menu :(
[12:59] <azathoth> i'm trying to use xinit to open Steam via wine in another server... but for some reason, it isn't opening the app... xinit works fine for anything else i try, just b0rks on wine...
[12:59] <due> rwxr-xr-x... rwx owner.
[12:59] <azathoth> i'm using "xinit wine Steam.exe -- :1" in a bash script (i cd into the Steam directory first)
[01:00] <e-type> due: should be at least rwx------ owned by your user
[01:00] <azathoth> but it just returns me to my original xsession when i try and run it...
[01:00] <RMorris84> kayde: u gotta link to what ur trying to install... i have sometimes found some themes dont workkk depends on where u get them, also make sure the file is themename.tar.gz (.tar.gz) is important make sure its not themename_tar.gz or something i have found that happens to help
[01:00] <Losty81> Does anyone know if ndiswrapper comes standard in latest distro of ubuntu?? or do i have to download??
[01:01] <OmegaNine> Losty81, I dont have it, and i have a base isntall ATM
[01:01] <kayde> RMorris84: thanks :0
[01:01] <RMorris84> least he said thanks  lol
[01:01] <Losty81> yeah spewing.... I need ndiswrapper to use wireless to access the net ...only way i can on my laptop....no method of wired net

[01:02] <RMorris84> Losty81: what model broadcom
[01:03] <Losty81> bcmwl5
[01:03] <RMorris84>  Broadcom Corporation: Unknown device 4311
[01:03] <RMorris84> is mine
[01:03] <RMorris84> i used that driver on mine
[01:03] <Losty81> and it worked?
[01:03] <RMorris84> did u get it off the forums? bc that worked for me
[01:03] <RMorris84> do u have a wireless manager?
[01:03] <RMorris84> yeah thats how im talking to u now :)
[01:04] <OmegaNine> Dl and write it to disk then move it to your lappy?
[01:04] <Losty81> i cant download anything -- is it possible to download ndiswrapper and save it on my xp partition?? im on xp now....i dual boot
[01:04] <Losty81> cant acess net under ubuntu anyway shap or form
[01:04] <fooadd> Losty81, so this means I must restart the laptop to know? no other way?
[01:04] <OmegaNine> Losty81, You can access your XP partition under Ubuntu by defualt
[01:05] <Andy-> cynical: cynical i have a problem with FrostWire. I go Under Applications > Internet > FrostWire and i click on it but nothing happens?
[01:05] <Losty81> yeah ok --- so i suppose my question is where do i find ndiswrapper and how do i install it?
[01:05] <fooadd> Andy-, try running it from a terminal, and see what errors you get
[01:05] <RMorris84> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1071920
[01:05] <RMorris84> losty thats for u
[01:05] <Andy-> fooadd: how do i do that?
[01:06] <Losty81> thanks
[01:06] <fooadd> just type frostwire, I guess (??), or whatever the executable is named
[01:06] <Losty81> i had been looking through forums ---- could only find walk throughs that required net
[01:06] <Andy-> fooadd: ahh silly me i need jde (java right?)
[01:07] <cynical> Andy-: do you not have java?
[01:07] <cynical> Andy-: hehe yes
[01:07] <fooadd> yup
[01:07] <RMorris84> Prerequisite
[01:07] <RMorris84>     * Ubuntu dapper
[01:07] <RMorris84>     * A wireless card that shows up in Ubuntu
[01:07] <RMorris84>     * A driver installation CD (for Windows) OR a driver for your card from the internet
[01:07] <RMorris84>     * Access to the Ubuntu Universe Repository
[01:07] <Losty81> This guide assumes 2 things:
[01:07] <Losty81> Wired internet access on the machine
[01:07] <RMorris84> so u should be good losty
[01:07] <Andy-> cynical: i only installed ubuntu 2 days ago, my 1st real linux distro (i fiddled around with DSL)
[01:07] <Andy-> cynical: so i havn't done much
[01:08] <Losty81> i dont have access
[01:08] <Losty81> im on xp at the moment
[01:08] <ranpha> btw about that braodcom driver...why does it work in Sarge very good and my ath0 not. And in ubuntu it's the other way around...don't get that
[01:08] <Losty81> cant access net from ubuntu
[01:08] <Losty81> no wired net
[01:08] <Losty81> only way i can acess the net at the moment it through wireless
[01:08] <daaku> hi all
[01:08] <OmegaNine> Losty81, Its duel boot though right?
[01:09] <Losty81> yeah
[01:09] <Losty81> im on xp now
[01:09] <cynical> Andy-: Have you tried automatix? Its nice and easy
[01:09] <tengil> anyone know of some console program i can use to turn a picture
[01:09] <OmegaNine> Losty81, Then DL it to XP, you will be able to access it via Linux
[01:09] <cynical> Andy-: and you can install most of the stuff you need straight from it (like java, frostwire, codecs, etc)
[01:09] <fooadd> tengil, turn a picture?
[01:09] <mopflite> tengil: it can almost certainly done with the imagemagick (sp?) suite
[01:09] <Losty81> ndiswrap .... yah ok ....yeah cheers
[01:09] <OmegaNine> tengil, ...Gimp?
[01:10] <tengil> fooadd: yeah i mean rotate
[01:10] <tengil> and umm gimp does it from console?
[01:10] <RMorris84> losty- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx?action=show&redirect=WifiDocs%2FDriver%2FBroadcom43xx
[01:10] <Losty81> ubuntu doesnt come standard with this ndiswrap
[01:10] <RMorris84> another good page
[01:10] <mopflite> tengil: by "from console", do you mean at the command line only without actually opening or viewing the image?
[01:10] <Andy-> what java do i get?: Linux RPM, Linux Self Extracting, Linux x64 or Linux x64 RPM (Im on amd-64 - ubuntu)
[01:10] <OmegaNine> tengil, Im not 100% sure, but it think so, give me a min will google.
[01:11] <Losty81> thanks heaps guys
[01:11] <RMorris84> np
[01:11] <tengil> mopflite: yes from commandline
[01:11] <fooadd> tengil, apt-get install imagemagick , and then use "convert" man convert
[01:11] <OmegaNine> LOL thats too cool fooadd
[01:11] <Losty81> problem is there is no ndiswrapper default on ubuntu --- latest at least
[01:11] <Oni-Dracula> where did you come from, where did you go, where did you come from, cotton eye joe?
[01:12] <OmegaNine> Losty81, There may be, but i use intel - so ubuntu wouldnt install it
[01:12] <Andy-> cynical: what java do i get?: Linux RPM, Linux Self Extracting, Linux x64 or Linux x64 RPM (Im on amd-64 - ubuntu)
[01:12] <mopflite> tengil: man convert
[01:13] <Losty81> yeah im on intel too
[01:13] <daaku> i'm trying to figure out why i cant get my internal SD card device to show up as /dev/mmcblk0 on edgy - from what i've read, it seems like something in the 2.6.17 kernel has changed might be causing it. anyone got any ideas?
[01:13] <mopflite> sorry, convert -help
[01:13] <kintaro0e> e-type kayde: how to solve my problem on alias?what i like is this: i want to see the emails of the root because i install logwatch..that emails the logs to the root..so how will i read also the emails?i read about alias..any idea?
[01:13] <fooadd> tengil, http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-graf/?ca=dnt-428
[01:13] <cynical> Andy-: open synaptic and search for 'java jre' then install sun-java5-jre
[01:13] <Losty81> ican only find the source for ndiswrapper
[01:14] <Losty81> no idea how to compile it.....
[01:14] <Andy-> cynical: thanks
[01:14] <Andy-> cynical: oh yerh how do i change my desktop to kde?
[01:14] <OmegaNine> Losty81: LOL you are screwed at every corner
[01:14] <tengil> i found something similar. it just feels a bit excessive to install imagemagick on a box without x to do it hehe
[01:14] <due> anyone have suggestions on how i can fix an issue with permissions? was compiling something as root, ctrl+c'ed out, now find that i can't do anything with my system. it's still there (booted into recovery mode), but i'm not sure what to do next.
[01:15] <ranpha> losty81 time for wires
[01:15] <Losty81> yeah i wish
[01:15] <Andy-> cynical: iv installed it in the synaptic
[01:15] <Losty81> theres got to be a way
[01:15] <whazill> what is xorg.conf file in recovery mode ?
[01:15] <mopflite> tengil: convert -rotate 90 inputfile output file (to rotate an image clockwise by 90 degrees, saving the new image as outputfile)
[01:15] <OmegaNine> Losty81: You will need to get a dpk called "build-essential" and put that on your Windows partition too
[01:16] <mopflite> s/output file/outputfile
[01:16] <tengil> mopflite: yeah i see that as well. it just looks like i have to install the whole imagemagick to get the convert command
[01:16] <ranpha> losty81 there is .....you have to search the repostoires for ndiswrapper, write down the adres (in the rep. progam) and search manually
[01:16] <OmegaNine> Losty81: Then when you get in linux, install it, and do a "./configure" "make" "sudo make isntall"
[01:17] <mopflite> tengil: yes, I believe so
[01:17] <ranpha> Omeganine install you mean
[01:17] <mopflite> anthony@catfish:~/photos$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/convert
[01:17] <mopflite> imagemagick: /usr/bin/convert
[01:17] <OmegaNine> Eerrr fat finger :(
[01:17] <AsadR> everytime i try to delete a file i get a "permission denied" error, the file is owned by me and i've set it to chmod 777, what could be the issue?
[01:17] <OmegaNine> Losty81: Yeah that was "sudo make install" sorry
[01:17] <ranpha> Omeagnine sure blame it on the fat finger.....
[01:18] <AsadR> ?
[01:19] <ranpha> AsadR is the disk internal or external?
[01:19] <AsadR> internal disk, ext3 partition, just copied the data over from a vfat partition
[01:19] <Losty81> omega99
[01:19] <AsadR> if i su to root it deletes it fine, but as myself i can't delete it even though the owner/group is set to me
[01:20] <ranpha> AsadR do this sudo chown -R name:name * (name fill in your name)
[01:20] <ranpha> Asadr btw you need to be in the directory you want to change don't do this on the ROOT disk
[01:20] <Losty81> omeganine??? where can i find this build essential?
[01:21] <ranpha> losty81....euh...apt-get???....omeganine..fill in please
[01:22] <OmegaNine> Losty81: Give me a second, I used apt-get but you will not be able to
[01:22] <ranpha> Omeganine...how about downloading the everthing than post it on rapidshare so he can download it???
[01:23] <OmegaNine> ranpha: Would be happy too, where does apt-get put its downloaded dpks?
[01:23] <fooadd> OmegaNine, /var/cache/apt/archives
[01:23] <ranpha> Omeganine don't look at me i only using linux for 6 months....
[01:23] <Losty81> thanks guys?
[01:23] <Losty81> lol
[01:24] <Losty81> once i have net on linux i think i can get the hang of it
[01:24] <Losty81> brand new to it
[01:24] <AsadR> oops, sorry, silly me, issue was directory didn't have +w permission, thx ranpha
[01:24] <OmegaNine> Losty81: You use X86 right?
[01:24] <fooadd> Losty81, yeah give it sometime, it took me  3 weeks to get net on linux :P
[01:24] <fooadd> and it was worth it :D
[01:25] <Losty81> my brother is a computer programmer and he has been raving about linux for years
[01:25] <OmegaNine> Im still pissed I bought a lappy with ATI, still cant get xgl running :o\
[01:25] <Losty81> I have just been getting into computers pretty full on the last few months
[01:25] <OmegaNine> Losty81:  ^^
[01:25] <Losty81> yeah x86
[01:25] <Losty81> sorry
[01:25] <OmegaNine> Losty81:  NP
[01:25] <Losty81> so crowded in her
[01:25] <Losty81> e
[01:26] <OmegaNine> NP, you get used to it
[01:26] <fooadd> damn! this frostwire is great :D
[01:26] <ranpha> AsadR don't worry nothing can beat my stupid mistake form two days ago
[01:26] <fooadd> first time using it
[01:26] <RMorris84> Losty81, wheres ur brother when u need him lol
[01:26] <mcskiy> Hello all
[01:26] <OmegaNine> fooadd: limewire cloan?
[01:26] <mcskiy> I have a problem :( None of my flac files play in any application, they just skip and go "all screwy"
[01:26] <fooadd> OmegaNine, yup I guess so, but it feels faster, dunno why  :)
[01:26] <Losty81> different city
[01:27] <asm_Stucp> I have downloaded the ISO Image and when I boot with CD it always hang up at Mounting root file system... can someone help?
[01:27] <Losty81> and he aint answering my msgs at moment
[01:27] <OmegaNine> fooadd: Its the kernel :P
[01:27] <fooadd> OmegaNine, heh yeah maybe :P
[01:27] <Losty81> kubuntu?? asm-Stucp?
[01:27] <fooadd> mcskiy, what player? apt-get install flac123 (??)
[01:27] <asm_Stucp> No Ubuntu
[01:28] <mcskiy> fooadd, Installing now, thanks...
[01:28] <OmegaNine> Losty81: I am sending you a file....
[01:28] <Losty81> i have been having that problem with the kubuntu live cd.....thought it may be from corrupt iso
[01:28] <Losty81> ta
[01:28] <mcskiy> fooadd, Have tried kaffeine, xmms and oggenc.
[01:28] <mcskiy> oggenc used to be able to open FLAC files, but now cannot ;(
[01:28] <fooadd> mcskiy, what about mplayer? I don't have flac files to try though..
[01:28] <cozomo> hi I amhaving problmswwwith  mykeyboarrrd ihave to holddd downakey for 1.7 or so seconds fro it to input
[01:28] <mcskiy> fooadd, will try.
[01:29] <Losty81> omega the send failed
[01:29] <mcskiy> fooadd, flac123 works fine
[01:29] <fooadd> good to know that :)
[01:29] <ranpha> Losty81 installing linux goes like this, first you think WOW...then after 5 days of browsing forums you get frustatd and think screw linux back to windows....then you see windows....nope back to shitty linux .....then after like 4 weeks (note girlfriend walked away with another and seven computers where thorne out the window) linux runs like a dream and an whole new world goes open for you
[01:29] <redondo81> what's the command to unmount a partition please?
[01:29] <mcskiy> fooadd, mplayer works fine.
[01:29] <cynical> mcskiy: install gstreamer plugins for flac support
[01:30] <cynical> mcskiy: in apps like rhythmbox or xmms
[01:30] <Losty81> hahahahaha
[01:30] <Losty81> ahahahaa
[01:30] <Losty81> i like the part how the gf leaves
[01:30] <fooadd> redondo81, umount /dev/hdxx
[01:30] <fooadd> mcskiy, mplayer rocks :)
[01:30] <lavi> hi , which package named same as gnome-libs-devel?
[01:30] <cynical> ranpha: lol
[01:30] <redondo81> ok, thanks
[01:30] <azathoth> how can i force anti-aliasing with nvidia cards?
[01:31] <ranpha> losty81 but when you discover the a sync program takes 5 houres for 300 gig on windows and only 5 sec to sync in linux you know what to pick .....
[01:31] <cynical> ranpha: same with me pretty much (minus the girlfriend part)
[01:31] <fooadd> lavi, apt-cache search gnome libs devel | less
[01:32] <Losty81> yeah i can see some definite pros
[01:32] <fooadd> lavi, or change the keywords "gnome "lib" ..etc..
[01:32] <ranpha> Cynical what i forgot is the broken keyboard......that happend for real......bits flying everywhere.....:-)
[01:32] <Losty81> like being able to uninstall drivers without rebooting
[01:32] <cynical> ranpha: rofl
[01:33] <lavi> fooadd, I 've used gnome-lib, it only return gnome-libs-data, however ,it isnot
[01:33] <fooadd> lavi, which package do you need?
[01:33] <ranpha> and i cursed linux why it didden't have simple install program like setup in widnows.....then i discoverd apt-get :-)
[01:33] <jrib> lavi: libgnome2-dev ?
[01:33] <lavi> fooadd, I've installed it,
[01:33] <lavi> fooadd, but it is not.
[01:34] <lavi> fooadd, I compiled bonobo ,it tells me to ensure the gnomeconf.sh file exists, but I could find it
[01:34] <fooadd> lavi, why not use apt to fetch the deps? or are you compiling from source?
[01:34] <lavi> fooadd, ya, I compile from source
[01:34] <infidel> how can i sink my evolution contacts with my cell phone?
[01:34] <fooadd> aha, I see, apt-get install apt-file, and then use "apt-file search gnomeconf.sh" to see which package has it (??)
[01:35] <ranpha> oh yeah and one thing.....winblows screwed up a partion everthing gone.......searched houres for a program for windows...discoverd linux had one..within 1 minute partion was back....
[01:35] <OmegaNine> ranpha: Whats the util you used?
[01:35] <fooadd> lavi, why compile from source? isn't bonobo apt-get'able?
[01:36] <ranpha> Omeganine...it was in apt....don't know anymmore give me a sec
[01:36] <lavi> fooadd, ha, I know , but I wanna compile:)
[01:36] <OmegaNine> ranpha: Cool
[01:36] <lavi> fooadd, 'apt-file search gnomeconf.sh' ??
[01:36] <fooadd> lavi, then hmmm use apt-file as I suggested , and good luck :)
[01:36] <fooadd> lavi, first apt-file update, the search :)
[01:37] <lavi> fooadd, you mean apt-file is a command?
[01:37] <fooadd> apt-file is a program, yeah a command
[01:37] <ranpha> HAHAHA...offcourse what a name...Omeganine it's called testdisk
[01:37] <kOpter> Yello :) How can I get the size of a directory using bash?
[01:37] <fooadd> apt-cache show apt-file, and see for yourself ;)
[01:37] <fooadd> kOpter, du -sh /home/foo
[01:38] <OmegaNine> ranpha: My buddy just spend like 75 bucks because of the same thing, cant wait to tell him thisl.
[01:38] <kOpter> fooadd > That was easy :)
[01:38] <ranpha> Omeganine HAHAHAHHHAHAHAHA it can restore partion of all formats....
[01:38] <mabus> How can I alias "cat file | more"
[01:38] <OmegaNine> ranpha: He is going to crap his pants :P *quickly typs up an e-mail*
[01:39] <lavi> fooadd, some websites tell me the gnomeConf.sh get from gnome-libs-devel , but I could find any relative package in ubuntu. and I dont get your idea for apt-file
[01:39] <ranpha> Omeganine tell him about boot disk...they have similair programs )all linux based)
[01:39] <jrib> mabus: why not just do 'more file' ?
[01:40] <fooadd> lavi,  I see, honestly I have no idea... the thing is this gnome-libs-devel could be named something different ... so better check the website again, or ask on #debian (??)
[01:40] <lavi> fooadd, k, tnx anyway.
[01:41] <tomplast> Hi everyone, is there anyone who believes in the idea of promoting Ubuntu through a game? I have had a an idea for a while of such a thing (my programming skills is limited and so is my time) and I woud like to know if there is someone who may be interested?
[01:41] <fooadd> lavi, apt-file tells which package has a file, apt-file search convert could give you "imagemagick" for example, get it ?
[01:41] <fooadd> since "convert" is part of imagemagick
[01:42] <lavi> fooadd, in my os, there isnot apt-file command.
[01:42] <fooadd> lavi, that's why I told you to apt-get install it ;)
[01:42] <lavi> fooadd, cool :) tnx
[01:42] <fooadd> or compile it from source, you compile-from-source freak heh :P
[01:44] <lavi> fooadd, I did `apt-file search gnomeCon.sh`, however, it returns nothing
[01:44] <fooadd> maybe try "gnomecon.sh" without the capital "c" (??)
[01:45] <fooadd> lavi,  or search packages.ubuntu.com for it
[01:45] <lavi> fooadd, k
[01:45] <muhammad> lavi try apt-cache search xxxxx
[01:45] <fooadd> lavi, you did "apt-file update" first?
[01:45] <lavi> fooadd, wow. not yet
[01:45] <fooadd> muhammad, he wants to know which package has the "gnomecon.sh" file
 aha thougt hes serachin abt that package
[01:46] <muhammad> thought*
[01:46] <beerockxs> my LC_ALL environment setting is emtpy, how do i fix that?
[01:47] <fooadd> beerockxs, export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 , for example
[01:47] <beerockxs> fooadd: will I have to do that again after every reboot?
[01:47] <fooadd> beerockxs, add it to your .profile or .bashrc , or /etc/profile for system-wide use ;)
[01:47] <mabus> jrib: because I didn't know more worked like that ... :/ thanks
[01:48] <lavi> fooadd, tnx a ton. I did the `apt-file update` and `apt-file search gnomeCon.sh`, it returns libgnome-dev. however, I 've installed libgnome2-dev. Do I need install libgnome-dev still?
[01:48] <zzyber> does ubuntu have a package i can install for compile my own software. I dont want to install all neccessary applications one by one.
[01:48] <muhammad> !build-essential
[01:48] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[01:48] <ElvenProgrammer> my ubuntu installation can't install 3 packages and apt-get dist-upgrade as suggested doesn't fix it
[01:48] <beerockxs> zzyber: build-essentials
[01:49] <fooadd> lavi, then apt-get install libgnome-dev
[01:49] <zzyber> thanks
[01:49] <lavi> fooadd, I meant I 've installed libgnome2-dev
[01:49] <lavi> fooadd, Do I need to still ?
[01:51] <beerockxs> lavi: I think so
[01:51] <lavi> beerockxs, :) tnx

[02:11] <krikke> I currently have 3 partitions, the 3rd is a fat32 which I want to resize to 5gb instead of 15gb, so I can install ubuntu on the other 10gb
[02:12] <OmegaNine> Does kubuntu barrow from ubuntu?  I like KDE, but Ubuntu is so well thought out, i dont wannt jump ship.
 sure u can
[02:12] <W_McL> OmegaNine: kubuntu = ubuntu with kde as default gui
[02:12] <OmegaNine> Sweet
[02:13] <rizo> hi ppl
[02:13] <Losty81> hej omeganine
[02:13] <W_McL> OmegaNine: and xubuntu = ubuntu with xfce as default gui
[02:13] <Losty81> no luck i need to have gcc and make and a heap of other packages installed
[02:13] <OmegaNine> Hye Losty81, how did it go?
[02:13] <Losty81> had dependency errors
[02:13] <krikke> I currently have 3 partitions, the 3rd is a fat32 which I want to resize to 5gb instead of 15gb, so I can install ubuntu on the other 10gb
[02:13] <krikke> ow
[02:13] <krikke> sorry
[02:13] <W_McL> OmegaNine: it's just a matter of the gui installed by default
[02:13] <krikke> http://users.telenet.be/djkrikke/pm.png
[02:13] <krikke> this is the problem
[02:14] <rizo> how can i start a process from terminal. I need the command to launch a process such as cupsys and then close it when the task is done?
[02:14] <OmegaNine> So i guess I could just DL and install KDE and pretend there is a K not a B :P
[02:14] <_knoppix> hey guys. when I try to install I get a hell lot of messages saying "[numbers] Buffer I/O error on device dm-1, logical block numbers)"... I guess theres something wrong with at hd, but what do I do about it??
[02:14] <AsadR> how do i enable the Sun Java JRE i just installed?
[02:14] <jrib> OmegaNine: you just need to install the kubuntu-desktop package and you will have kubuntu
[02:15] <jrib> !multijava > AsadR

[02:15] <Armopu> but i can't remember the file
[02:16] <gyro54> is it easy to access files from an old hard drive with an old version of ubuntu. It is connected via a usb external drive.
[02:16] <KillerX> But I still can't change my resolution to that
[02:16] <KillerX> Anyone know why?

[02:17] <Shoop> Hey all. What would be the easiest way to set up a wireless connection on ubuntu without any internet connection before hand?

[02:23] <AsadR> i get a lot of errors when i try to switch to Sun's JRE (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22038)
[02:23] <AsadR> using update-java-alternatives
[02:24] <z3r0x> does anybody know a ftp client which I can chmod recursively?
 try sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre
[02:24] <operative> part
[02:25] <jrib> AsadR: the command seems to have worked, it just says you don't hava the jdk
[02:25] <muhammad> or  sudo apt-get install sun-java5-bin
[02:25] <KillerX> Okay, another small problem
[02:25] <jrib> AsadR: try 'java -version' to check
[02:25] <digitalhav0c> were at things like amarok, xmms  stored
[02:25] <KillerX> My bootsplash screen doesn't come anymore
[02:25] <digitalhav0c> /usr/....
[02:25] <KillerX> All I get is a plain grey screen instead of the Ubuntu loading screen
[02:25] <AsadR> jrib: java -version shows the Sun's JRE version 1.5.0, but the other commands like appletviewer don't work
 u did startx ?
[02:26] <W_McL> jrib: then you need to install sun-java5-jdk
[02:26] <salvatore_> hy
[02:26] <jrib> AsadR: what W_McL said :)
[02:26] <KillerX> muhammed: Yes, the resolution thing is fixed
[02:26] <AsadR> k, thx W_McL, jrib
[02:26] <salvatore_> i have the big dick
[02:26] <KillerX> I am talking about the boot screen that you get when the system starts
[02:26] <app> How I can prevent mIRC from beeping at new messages, while scrolling back in window?
 aha
[02:27] <KillerX> (this problem is unrelated to the screen res. problem)
[02:27] <W_McL> AsadR: aptitude search is your friend ;)
[02:27] <AsadR> i need the JDK for viewing java applets in my browser as well? i would have thought the JRE was enough
[02:27] <jrib> AsadR: you need sun-java5-plugin for that I believe
[02:28] <W_McL> AsadR: sun-java5-plugin
[02:28] <AsadR> ok, thx again :)
 i think sudo apt-get install sun-java5-bin will do what u want to view ;)
[02:29] <AsadR> k, thx muhammad
[02:29] <muhammad> and if u want to install jdk only try this sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk

[02:31] <manux> I've just installed buld-essential (the last version)
[02:31] <AsadR> binutils also gives me make/gcc/ld/objdump/readelf/etc..?
[02:31] <jrib> AsadR: install build-essential

[02:36] <OmegaNine> ...i dont think so....
[02:36] <Da_Putzler> cause I got beep running and it seems to take up a lot of cpu time when playing music... everything slows down when it plays
[02:36] <MrFatJack> I added xgl for my 6.06 and it seems to prevent me from typing in gnome-panel applets like dictionary or deskbar. Any thoughts?
[02:37] <schrimp> nosse  will try my best :)
[02:37] <nosse> schrimp: oh, and you should get opera downloaded firts
[02:37] <schrimp> lol true :D
[02:37] <nosse> :D
[02:37] <schrimp> isnt it in synaptic?
[02:37] <nosse> I guess
[02:37] <jrib> Da_Putzler: well there are cli players available if you want to be really light
[02:37] <soujirou7> How do you get a live copy of Ubuntu to recognize the hard disk?
[02:37] <Da_Putzler> jrib: sounds good, any u recommend ?

[02:39] <mr_smeegal> followed wiki it is slow as can be
[02:39] <raymond__> hi! what's our topic for today
[02:39] <Phreakys> no effects on compiz?
[02:39] <mr_smeegal> compiz wont run
[02:40] <mr_smeegal> how do i check if 3d is enabled for my card?
[02:40] <raymond__> what's compiz?
[02:40] <jrib> Da_Putzler: hmm I don't really use any in the same way I use things like beep.  mpg321 is the only one I have used.  There are bound to be better ones I don't know about though
[02:40] <Da_Putzler> thx jrib
[02:40] <Da_Putzler> any Ubuntu developers in the room today ?
[02:40] <MrFatJack> fyrestrtr: I was looking for a different work around. I'll check on the ubuntu-xgl channel.
[02:40] <manux> thanks to all
[02:41] <raymond__> How can we recover data from CD that has CRC error
[02:41] <raymond__> can anyone help
[02:41] <Phreakys> xgl + kubuntu is not exactly a walk in the park
[02:42] <jrib> Da_Putzler: I remember someone really liked mpd in here as well
[02:42] <Da_Putzler> Is their an easy way to change screensaver settings in Ubuntu without installing xscreensaver ???
[02:43] <Cenix_> Da_Putzler, Like, in the screensaver menu?
[02:43] <Cenix_> under system
[02:43] <Cenix_> oh, change the settings
[02:43] <Cenix_> nevermind
[02:44] <Da_Putzler> Cenix: I mean getting access to the advanced settings that Gnome seems to have dropped... like changing separate screensaver settings and options etc.
[02:44] <Cenix_> there should be some config files some place you could edit without having xscreensaver installed
[02:44] <W_McL>  /msg nickserv set unfiltered on
[02:45] <Cenix_> look at ~/.xscreensaver
[02:45] <Cenix_> you may specify the args there
[02:45] <Da_Putzler> it seems silly that Ubuntu dropped xscreensaver which worked so well for a Gnome alternative that's really cut-back...  they should go back
[02:46] <Cenix_> oh well, submit a bug report and describe the problem :)
[02:46] <Cenix_> that's the way to get things discussed
[02:46] <Cenix_> I have to go
[02:48] <J_P> hey all, I have RAID 1, using two HDs. But I remove one that HD and boot with de first.. after I halt system and add that HD, but system no recognize more that second HD in RAID, I think when I start only one HD system get out from RAID that second. Question is: how I add that HD in RAID 1 agaim ?
[02:48] <Da_Putzler> are their any tweaks available to speed up Gnome/Ubuntu ???
[02:48] <digitalhav0c> uninstall
[02:49] <longwave> Da_Putzler: what is slow for you? the easiest way to speed up ubuntu is usually buy more ram (unless you already have 1gb or more)
[02:49] <Da_Putzler> more ram ??? is it that resource hungry ???
[02:49] <longwave> Da_Putzler: no, but more ram means more disk cache which means less reading from disk and more speed, usually!
[02:49] <soujirou7> fyrestrtr: What do you do after you get to system > Disks?
[02:51] <MalMen> hello
