[03:47] <Mecha25> Lisa: firefox, lynx, others I think.  no offense, but you really can just search in Add/Remove programs, or Synaptic
[03:47] <xnevermore> lisa_: np
[03:47] <lisa_> xnevermore: thank you, i been spending all morning trying to remember that lol :0  hugs to ya
[03:48] <Pici> lisa_: the package name is epiphany-browser, the 'epiphany' package is some unrelated game
[03:48] <bluetide> Can anyone vouch for what teethdood said?
[03:48] <newuser_> what would be a recommended size on a partition that will have the ubuntu filesystem?
[03:48] <histo> lisa_: Because this channel is extremely busy and you can do the search on your own
[03:48] <histo> lisa_: With a lot less work I might add
[03:48] <Mecha25> bluetide: I can't, but the separate /home partition will work, I can guarantee that
[03:48] <Mecha25> better safe than sorry, it could be a fluke
[03:48] <Flannel> bluetide: No.  That's wrong.
[03:48] <Pici> histo: Be nice, being helpful is what this channel is for.   But epiphany works perfect accesing it.  And I reinstalled ubuntu and I forgiten the name until you reminded me :)
[03:49] <teethdood> bluetide: your milage may vary, but it worked for me. Back up your /home, then try it
[03:49] <Mecha25> lisa: are you using compiz?
[03:49] <lisa_> Pici: ahh thanks for telling me, i thgink i just installed the game lol
[03:49] <Nillerz> Hey can someone help me if you're not too busy?
[03:49] <IdleOne> Nillerz, with?
[03:49] <Nillerz> I got wifi problems
[03:50] <xnevermore> lisa_: yeah. epiphany is my backup browser. when firefox starts to piss me off or when i need something quick and want to use less resources, i turn to epiphany
[03:50] <lisa_> Pici: hehe, yeah, it installed a game.  thanks foe tellingf me its epiphany-browser
[03:50] <IdleOne> !wifi | Nillerz
[03:50] <Nillerz> I am using it right now but in about 10 minutes or so I will get booted, then be unable to connect for a while
[03:50] <ubot3> Nillerz: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:50] <Pici> lisa_: sure thing
[03:50] <lisa_> xnevermore: yeah me too :)
[03:50] <lisa_> Pici: :-)
[03:51] <Nillerz> I don't think that's going to help, I've already tried it and its mostly a tut for setting up wifi
[03:51] <Nillerz> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/34262/
[03:51] <Nillerz> I have trouble connecting to an already established home network
[03:51] <nathan__> im trying to print 2 pages per side, and duplex.  It is working although it prints very close to the left side of the page, as if there is no margin set, when i look in the printer dialog it does have a margin set for all sides.  any idea why that could be?  and is it possible to print the back side of the page so that if i flip the page over it isnt up side down?
[03:51] <DozedOnLinux> information concerning (wireless every now and then fails, and with "noapic irqpoll" wireless consistant)> SIOCSIFFLAG  is there a cure for irq/apic error related issues ? happened after i updated multiple packages(currently installed/upgradeable) in the update catagory of SPM
[03:51] <Mecha25> Nillerz: what's the specific problem?  where does it go wrong?
[03:51] <RudyValencia> Hi. I acquired a LaserJet 5L printer used. How do I set up my Ubuntu Linux server to run as a print server for it?
[03:51] <debCarlos> Nillerz: Already installed the drivers?
[03:51] <lisa_> xnevermore: i rang my bank and told them that firefox and opera makes my login page flash on and off. they are confused why.  But epiphany-browser works perfect, so im lucky I can use that :)
[03:52] <DozedOnLinux> any information concerning SIOCSIFFLAG is welcome, thank you
[03:52] <Nillerz> The drivers are installed, I'm using a USB reciever, a wg111v2 to be exact by Netgear
[03:52] <Mecha25> Nillerz: can your computer tell the network exists?
[03:52] <derenrich> RudyValencia: You have it working locally? You want to use it over samba?
[03:52] <Nillerz> Mecha: No, it cannot
[03:52] <RudyValencia> derenrich: I don't have it working at all
[03:52] <xnevermore> lisa_: that's kind of weird, especially since Epiphany uses the same rendering engine as Firefox to display pages
[03:52] <Nillerz> though this is weird because it also has no problem other times, like right now
[03:52] <derenrich> I see
[03:53] <RudyValencia> I want it to work for both Linux and Windows.
[03:53] <derenrich> RudyValencia: Do you have CUPS installed
[03:53] <RudyValencia> I dont know
[03:53] <derenrich> RudyValencia: You'll want to use samba then
[03:53] <Mecha25> Nillerz: do the drivers involve NDISWrapper?
[03:53] <histo> DozedOnLinux: what type of card and what drivers are you using?
[03:53] <RudyValencia> I have Samba installed
[03:53] <derenrich> RudyValencia:  https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/cups.html
[03:53] <Neogi> NDISWrapper sux :)
[03:53] <Nillerz> Mecha25: Yes, I use ndiswrapper
[03:53] <Neogi> it has it's uses though
[03:53] <lisa_> xnevermore: yeah i know, the tech at my bank cant work out why.  but firefox and opera work great on other pages, its just that one.  but epiphany-browser works great, and it doesnt flash on and off.  no idea :P
[03:54] <RudyValencia> derenrich: CUPS is already installed.

[03:54] <lisa_> xnevermore: so thank goodness for epiphany-browser :)  otherwise I could not access my banks webpage
[03:54] <Neogi> used to have to use it on most wireless cards before they developed it enough to support it natively in linux

[03:54] <kindofabuzz> for you free culture artists: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFreeCultureShowcase  sorry OT =)
[03:55] <derenrich> RudyValencia: do you have gnome running or are you doing this all from command line?
[03:55] <Nillerz> so any ideas on the wifi thing?
[03:55] <histo> DozedOnLinux: hrm... The only thing you could really try is blacklisting the rt61pci module and trying a different driver perhaps.
[03:55] <RudyValencia> derenrich: I can switch to GNOME
[03:55] <DozedOnLinux> histo: worked fine till the package updates, now i get thos flag errors when ifup
[03:55] <l3d> I need help setting up file sharing between my 2 computers , I have  samba installed on both but for some reason I dont see my shares on this one the other on does
[03:55] <histo> DozedOnLinux: based on yoru problems I'm assuing there is a bug filed.
[03:55] <histo> DozedOnLinux: well what updates were installed then?
[03:55] <Mecha25> Nillerz: google your wireless card model # and "ndiswrapper tutorial".  you might get lucky
[03:55] <derenrich> RudyValencia: I don't know how to setup printers from the command line, but using the gnome printer setup cups wizard is easy
[03:56] <Uplink> can anyone help me with compiling something? here is the error i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/34266/
[03:56] <DozedOnLinux> histo: ok i know how to do that. i have temporarily disabled sound/usb appended grub line with noapic irqpoll,. and seems to work fine
[03:56] <Nillerz> mecha25: I already have. I'm currently using the wifi, but it will stop working in 5minutes or so. Setting up the wifi is no problem, keeping it running is sort of hit or miss
[03:56] <DozedOnLinux> histo: in section (upgradeable)
[03:56] <lisa_> xnevermore: how do I refresh my menu so epiphany-browser shows up in menu?
[03:57] <Mecha25> Nillerz: that's odd... how long does it go down for?
[03:57] <histo> DozedOnLinux: well try sudo cat /var/log/apt/term.log   will show you what was recently installed
[03:57] <DozedOnLinux> histo:  i run very little from "out-of-box" state, only what is neededd
[03:57] <DozedOnLinux> histo:  ok will do
[03:57] <Nillerz> It ranges between 5 minutes and 30 minutes on average
[03:57] <dahitokiri> i need some help setting up networking between two linux computers connected by a cat6 crossover cable. can anyone point me in the right direction?
[03:57] <Mecha25> dahitokiri: using a crossover cable is similar to using a lan, you probably want either FTP or Samba sharing tutorials.
[03:58] <kindofabuzz> is it possible to Xforward a dir on my server into nautilus on the client? or would it be easier to just make that dir nfs?

[04:01] <BobPenguin> Hello there. I'm trying to run GoogleVideoUploared on Ubuntu 8.04. I'm following the instructions on this tutorial: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35548 However, after installing the FRE when I start the video uploader tha application hangs up (I mean, crashes). I get this in the terminal: java.lang.NullPointerException. Ahy hints?
[04:01] <Blaqlight> vegas all the way.
[04:01] <histo> DozedOnLinux: well you can do something like sudo nano /var/log/apt/term.log   so you can scroll around in there.
[04:01] <MrVampy> does anyone know that once you have ubuntu installed and your having problems with winxp if you can reinstall xp without messing up ubuntu
[04:01] <histo> !grub | MrVampy
[04:01] <ubot3> MrVampy: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:01] <BobPenguin> I meant "JRE"
[04:01] <Flannel> MrVampy: You can, but you'll have to reinstall grub to the MBR (first link at that factoid, its real easy)
[04:02] <bluetide> Can anyone help me switch over to the newer Intel video driver?  I keep getting dumped into low graphics mode.
[04:02] <MrVampy> so i'd be better to delete the parition and reinstall both?
[04:02] <Mecha25> Nillerz: very odd...  that looks like a problem with the router.  keep in mind I'm no network guru though.
[04:02] <Blaqlight> bluetide: there is a brand new intel driver that just came out today, use update to get it.
[04:03] <MrVampy> or just reinstall xp then reinstall grub
[04:03] <Nillerz> I think I need a test... but to do that I'd need to find another network, and the nearest one has to be at least 30 miles away...
[04:03] <bluetide> Blaqlight, how can I tell which driver I'm using rightnow?
[04:03] <codercotton> i just did an update on ibex and now my kb/mouse don't work - any ideas?
[04:03] <Mecha25> Nillerz: what coast are you on, rather, what time is it where you are?
[04:03] <rodna01> Mecha25 and Pici - thanks -I cam to Ubuntu since there are more users and Ubuntu is based on Debian - and I know you are as (or even more helpful) - thanks anyway :)

[04:03] <ubot3> Hardy Heron is the codename for the current release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS) You can get it now from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu but please use !torrents
[04:03] <Mecha25> codercotton: don't rely on beta software?  kidding.
[04:03] <AgentHeX> so i recently installed a box with ubuntu-server, and i'm looking to create a database in mysql, but i don't know the login credentials to make the table.  should i use the user "mysql"?  and if so, what password should i try?  i already used "sudo passwd mysql" to set a password, but "mysql -u mysql -p" rejects the password i set.
[04:04] <histo> MrVampy: no you should follow the directions from ubot3
[04:04] <codercotton> heh
[04:04] <Nillerz> I am 40 miles away from Buffalo and Rochester (exactly between them) on EST east coast
[04:04] <MrVampy> kk thanks histo

And in gnome on the top right right is a red sing with a white strip in the center. Error is Error: Broken Count > 0. How can I recover? I open APt-get program and do a partial upgrade and it returns that the kde 4 programs are the cause

[04:05] <codyt07> what does ubot3 mean?
[04:05] <Blaqlight> bluetide: course that driver *could* be why I have a problem with world of warcraft now though.
[04:05] <Fezzler> Only app that causes this is Openoffice
[04:06] <Mecha25> ok, so it's 11.  I'd say wait till tomorrow, then try to find another network.  Stick around, see if it's stable.  I don't know what happens every 5 to 30 minutes network wise, but I don't think it's your card
[04:06] <bluetide> Blaqlight, that's  OK, I have less than zero interest in WoW.
[04:06] <Nillerz> mecha25: I live in a county where cows outnumber people. I use a desktop. The monitor is a 20 inch CRT.
[04:06] <Mecha25> Nillerz: d'oh
[04:06] <Blaqlight> bluetide: thats not the point.

[04:07] <ty5479> anybdoy know whtas causing it?
[04:07] <Mecha25> Nillerz: my parents are from around there, I know how it is.  I don't know what I can do to help though, sorry.
[04:07] <Nillerz> Thanks for trying
[04:07] <Guest11008> can someone help me?
[04:08] <Mecha25> Guest11008, what's the problem?  you need to give specifics
[04:08] <Blaqlight> ty5479: i/o errors are generally caused by corrupted media.
[04:08] <Guest11008> i had a gutsy gibbon server running fine
[04:08] <Guest11008> i upgraded to hardy today and it messed everything up
[04:08] <ty5479> I just switched to a new optical drive, and a new HD. trying to figure out why my ubuntu was booting slow =(
[04:08] <MrVampy> does ubuntu support individual dual monitors.. or will it just mirror the desktop
[04:08] <Nillerz> Another unrelated problem: Try as I might I just can't get my screen resolution to the desired 2048x1536 which my monitor has as its native res. I could do it in XP no problem, nowhere close in Fluxbuntu
[04:08] <Mecha25> Guest11008, like what?
[04:09] <Guest11008> now my /var/www and my dpkg and my /var/lib/apt folders are gone
[04:09] <ty5479> I'm doint a check for defects test right now.
[04:09] <sx66|eee> I have an error 12 at boot
[04:09] <Mecha25> MrVampy, yes, but depending on the card, it could be a difficult thing to get working
[04:09] <Blaqlight> ty5479: yeah thats the best thing
[04:09] <MrVampy> Mecah : ATI radeon x1300 pro v. card
[04:09] <Mecha25> Guest11008: is a reinstall an option?
[04:09] <Guest11008> if I can keep the info
[04:09] <Guest11008> i can't lose the info
[04:10] <Mecha25> MrVampy: yeah, it'll do dual monitors, but I'm on an ATI xPress 1150, and it took me 3 solid weeks to get dual screens working.  it is possible though
[04:10] <Mecha25> Guest11008: you have a live CD, yeah?
[04:10] <Guest11008> yes
[04:10] <Guest11008> downloading it right now
[04:10] <MrVampy> Mecha : would prolly take me long as i'm still a newbie in linux.. and ubuntu..
[04:10] <EFG> How come I can't configue XMMS?
[04:11] <MrVampy> mecha do you have any reference site.. i could use for that.
[04:11] <Pixeltime> MrVampy:  It works here, on a Sony netbook (8" screen) and externally on a 23" at the same time
[04:11] <Mecha25> Guest11008: boot from the liveCD, backup your stuff, reinstall, put it back.  I (personally) don't trust in-place upgrades.  but that's just me, if you want to fix it without reinstalling, I'm not sure how, sorry.
[04:11] <Guest11008> the fix for my problem is supposed to be reboot and remove the locales
[04:11] <Guest11008> but i cant even run dpkg --configure -a
[04:11] <Guest11008> to run a fix for the failed upgrade
[04:11] <Guest11008> it is a known bug that gutsy -> hardy freezes on generating the locales
[04:12] <nathan__> what is the difference between duplexNoTumble and duplexTumble?
[04:12] <MrVampy> would it be easy to do if i was in ubuntu.. i'm tryin to fix winblows right now.
[04:12] <Mecha25> MrVampy: I can give you a dozen different links that all say they work, and all work for some people, but to be perfectly honest, to this day I still don't know how I got it working.  I can give you my xorg.conf for reference, but that's about all I can do.  Oh, and you'll need (or at least I did), Catalyst Control Center, and the Restricted Driver
[04:12] <ty5479> Is there any way to find out exactly what device is SDB? I'm getting the error while booting of a live CD. Safe to assume  its the Optical Drive?
[04:13] <Pixeltime> MrVampy:  it was not easy to configure for me, but I just did a Wipe install and the default works well here
[04:13] <EFG> I get checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[04:13] <EFG>  whenever i ./configure XMMS, I would apt-get, but its not there.
[04:13] <Guest11008> name
[04:13] <Mecha25> Guest11008: if dpkg --configure -a doesn't work, in my expereince there's not much you can do.  I had a hard reboot (power glitch) in the middle of a standard update (not even full distro) and I had to reinstall, there was nothing I could do.  Good luck
[04:13] <chuy_max> ty5479, sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
[04:13] <MrVampy> hmm..
[04:13] <Guest11008> how do I change my name?
[04:13] <Blaqlight> ty5479: run dh -f from command line.
[04:14] <gcarrillo> surprisingly (or maybe not) i got a macbook recently and prefer ubuntu to mac os x
[04:14] <MrVampy> Mecha.. i may have to get the CCC and Restricted Driver from you while i'm in ubuntu.. so i can use my ati card to it fullest in linux.
[04:14] <Pixeltime> MrVampy: But I am using a very, very wierd configuration with pretty much NO graphics chip (Intel onboard)
[04:14] <bastid_raZor> i am attempting to get the i2c modules to run for use of monitoring temps .. do i need to add them to xorg.conf?
[04:14] <ty5479> blaqligh, what does that do?
[04:14] <Mecha25> MrVampy: the main reason it took so long is that you have to use Catalyst Control Center to get it working... but it's proprietary, and frankly a piece of junk.
[04:15] <Blaqlight> ty5479: sorry wrong command
[04:15] <stu> lp
[04:15] <stu> 02310+
[04:15] <stu> 60501
[04:15] <Mecha25> MrVampy: the trick is linking 2 monitor entries into one "screen" entry, and that into one "Device" entry in your xorg.conf
[04:15] <Blaqlight> ty5479: df -h
[04:15] <Blaqlight> it shows whats mounted and to what.
[04:15] <MrVampy> Mecha : would you say i'm better to just leave well enuf alone lol
[04:16] <ty5479> okay cool. Thanks
[04:16] <bastid_raZor> Blaqlight; ty5479 you may be looking for sudo fdisk -l (that is a lowercase L)
[04:16] <histo> DozedOnLinux: reading
[04:16] <Mecha25> MrVampy: if you're willing to spend 3 weeks at it like I did (and I did this when I was brand-new to linux too), it'll be worth it.  but if that's too much effort, I'd skip it.  it depends on you really, like most of linux.  You get out what you put in, performance for effort.
[04:16] <Nillerz> EFG? In my #ubuntu?
[04:17] <EFG> Nillerz: Just doin' what I do best.
[04:17] <Nillerz> Do what you do best, EFG!
[04:17] <EFG> Already am Nillerz.
[04:17] <Blaqlight> bastid_raZor: that too.
[04:17] <DozedOnLinux> histo: i must have the original error logged, let me find it. but like i said. it seems to work fine now with noapic irqpoll. i can deal, just looking for hinters on irq/apic. i also have this log>http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/34269/
[04:17] <MrVampy> Mecha : so its all bout gettin the CCC and restrictive drivers to do it.. and almost tricky it?
[04:17] <EFG> Even apt-get fails me.

I'm following the instructions on this tutorial: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35548 However, after installing the JRE when I start the video uploader the application hangs up (I mean, crashes). I get this (followed by some other lines) in the terminal: java.lang.NullPointerException. Any hints?
[04:18] <DozedOnLinux> histo: ACPI: bus type pci registered , had not been there previous to using apic irqpoll, for wha reason, i do not know
[04:18] <EFG> You wouldnt happen to know anything would you Nillerz?
[04:18] <EFG> about XMMS?
[04:18] <EFG> apt-get hates me
[04:18] <Mecha25> MrVampy: for me it was, none of the other solutions I tried worked, and the one I currently have requires resetting the screeen setup every time I boot when not using dual monitors.  but then, I'm the atypical case I suppose
[04:18] <Blaqlight> !xmms | EFG
[04:18] <ubot3> EFG: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details.  Consider using audacious instead.
[04:18] <EFG> Ah
[04:19] <ty5479> while loading a livne CD. I get ata4 status DRDY
[04:19] <evo> anyone care to help me get online with a fresh install of ubuntu(sorry for even asking) :-(
[04:19] <ty5479> revalidtation failed errno=05
[04:19] <Mecha25> EFG: or you can use xmms2
[04:19] <blarg> an anyone recommend any p2p software for ubuntu? i want to listen to music :>
[04:19] <ty5479> SRST failed errno=-16
[04:19] <blarg> s/an/can/
[04:19] <Mecha25> evo: always ask
[04:19] <Blaqlight> EFG xmms works too.
[04:19] <histo> DozedOnLinux: Are you using a firewall?
[04:19] <Nillerz> XMMS is an audio player, EFG.
[04:19] <Mecha25> evo: wired or wireless?
[04:19] <Blaqlight> err xmms2
[04:19] <histo> DozedOnLinux: ifnot my guess would be the iproute package that updated.
[04:19] <evo> wired
[04:19] <DozedOnLinux> histo: only the built in one, in which is blank, as i have not configured it, i did check its status though
[04:19] <Nillerz> sudo apt-get install xmms would probably do it
[04:19] <blarg> its crazy oss is still around i remember using that for redhat 4.* when i couldnt figure out the drivers for my sound card...
[04:20] <kindofabuzz> !NFS > kindofabuzz
[04:20] <Mecha25> ok, then it should be kinda easy.  you know how to hook up your computer to the router, right?
[04:20] <histo> DozedOnLinux: I would roll back the iproute package
[04:20] <evo> ive got 1 nic. ubuntu says i have eth1 and eth0
[04:20] <Blaqlight> !xmms > Nillerz
[04:20] <histo> DozedOnLinux: you should have the old version of iproute in /var/apt/cache/archives
[04:20] <DozedOnLinux> histo: yes i see that. i wondered about that. is there a way to flush my routing info ?
[04:20] <bastid_raZor> blarg; if you know how to torrent use transmission that is natively installed on gnome or in kde use ktorrent
[04:20] <misc--> is there a document that explains how to make your own ubuntu packages (well actually I'm after a way to sign them... I'm not sure how to sign a package)
[04:20] <DozedOnLinux> histo: oh great, that is worth looking at, thanks
[04:20] <blarg> bastid_raZor: :> thanx..
[04:20] <band4life> hi!  i am wondering if there is an admin. who can tell me if I am banned.
[04:20] <Guest92397> I NEED HELP
[04:20] <Mecha25> evo: you want eth0
[04:21] <Housefly7k> blarg: frostwire worked for me
[04:21] <Housefly7k> blarg: now I only use torrents
[04:21] <Guest92397> WTH would the gutsy->hardy upgrade delete my files?
[04:21] <evo> thought so. i configured it to be static, configured gateway, and dns
[04:21] <evo> but cannot ping the gateway
[04:21] <Guest92397> i am missing all of the /var/www folder
[04:21] <blarg> frostwire ?
[04:21] <histo> DozedOnLinux: sry /var/cache/apt/archives
[04:21] <EFG> What's Automatix?
[04:21] <histo> DozedOnLinux: thats were the old debs should be.
[04:21] <Blaqlight> evo: eth0 is usually loopback (<IP_ADDRESS>) eth1 is your NIC.
[04:21] <EFG> Should I consider it?
[04:21] <histo> !automatix > EFG
[04:21] <iplaythisgame> im trying to resize my root partition. i have vista, then osx86 on a second partition in front of my root. ive booted into ubu 8.04 livecd to use gparted and it lets me do whatever i want to the partitions, except resize accross that initial 40Gb 40Gb separation. Any ideas?
[04:21] <histo> EFG: no
[04:21] <Mecha25> evo: ok, you're on the right track.  did you configure your router to allow your IP and MAC address?
[04:21] <bastid_raZor> EFG; no
[04:22] <EFG> Why not?
[04:22] <EFG> it seems nice
[04:22] <DozedOnLinux> histoL gives me new ground to test, thank you for your assistance . see > /var/cache/apt/archives ok
[04:22] <Pixeltime> Frostwire is nice, cept for the tiny font sizes
[04:22] <Guest92397> WTH would the gutsy->hardy upgrade delete my files?
[04:22] <bastid_raZor> EFG; then get ready to reinstall.
[04:22] <EFG> ok
[04:22] <Guest92397> i am missing all of the /var/www folder
[04:22] <Mecha25> iplaythisgame: you need ntfs utils, in synaptic
[04:22] <EFG> i wont
[04:22] <EFG> lol
[04:22] <evo> i dont have mac filtering enabled on my router Mecha25
[04:22] <Blaqlight> histo: I think it only does public commands...
[04:22] <Housefly7k> iplaythisgame: maybe take a screenshot and upload it for people to better understand your partitions
[04:22] <histo> DozedOnLinux: yeah I would try the previous version of iproute
[04:22] <evo> Blaqlight: is saying eth0 should be local
[04:22] <evo> and eth1 should be nic
[04:23] <EFG> Anything like it then? that makes source compiling GUI-like?
[04:23] <Blaqlight> evo usually it is, not shouldn't be
[04:23] <Mecha25> evo: huh... and your IP is listed with the router and it's the same IP as the eth0 or eth1 you're using?
[04:23] <Mecha25> EFG: I've heard of Kompile, for KDE
[04:23] <EFG> Yeah
[04:23] <EFG> But I'm using GNOME
[04:23] <iplaythisgame> Mecha25, even deleting a partition?  besides it started as vista, then i reformated the partition for osx
[04:23] <bastid_raZor> EFG; you can use kde apps in gnome.
[04:23] <evo> let me check if router sees the ip
[04:23] <Nillerz> Audacius uses a buttload of ram... anyone hear of Songbird? It's in alpha, it's a ram ho for Windows but it IS in ALPHA so it may be the future for linux media players.
[04:23] <evo> doubt it though
[04:23] <EFG> Just another reason I love ubuntu
[04:24] <EFG> openSUSE wouldnt let me..
[04:24] <Guest92397> i am missing all of the /var/www folder
[04:24] <Mecha25> iplaythisgame: if it's a ntfs partition, you need ntfs utils.  if it's a HFS+ paritition, you need hfs utils
[04:24] <[TiZ]> I've got an easy one this time. Hopefully. I messed up my iPod's mount point and now I can't mount it. How do I fix it?
[04:24] <Guest92397> why would the upgrade from gutsy-> hardy remove this
[04:24] <Blaqlight> Nillerz: I have it installed, used it once, its a terrible waste of space right now.
[04:24] <Guest92397> also, dpkg and apt are gone too
[04:24] <Coffeeburrito> I'm running rhythmbox 0.11.5 in Hardy Heron, and recently learned about the rhythmbox ipod support. I must be doing something wrong, because it won't automatically convert m4a to mp3 on the fly for me. It just copies them as m4a, which my shuffle can't play. I googled for solutions, but oddly people say rhythmbox is supposed to do this conversion by default. Songs that were already mp3 format were copied correctly, but how do I make it convert
[04:24] <Coffeeburrito> m4a? A dude in the rhythmbox channel said it was a HAL problem, but I don't know what exactly to do, and couldn't find the answer in their mailing list either
[04:24] <iplaythisgame> Mecha25,  its not anything now, i was able to delete the partitions, reports free space now
[04:24] <Nillerz> Yes, but it is fairly good considering how young it is and promising considering how easy to use it is.
[04:24] <belzebub> EFG, you mean MsSuse?
[04:24] <[TiZ]> Here, I'll be more descriptive. When I try to mount it, it tells me there's an invalid character in the mountpoint.
[04:24] <bastid_raZor> Nillerz; songbird at its current state devours RAM in ubuntu too.. for gnome Rythmbox by default
[04:25] <Mecha25> iplaythisgame: are you trying to triple-boot?
[04:25] <EFG> belzebub: No, openSUSE. I couldn't use KDE apps in GNOME at all
[04:25] <EFG> for some reason
[04:25] <band4life> I dont think linux can compare to windows until you can play all the games on linux, that you can on windows.  and linux is fairly complicated when it comes to installation of certain things.  once it is more user friendly it will be the best, but until then, I will use my dual-boot.
[04:25] <Blaqlight> bastid_raZor: yes I found that out too.
[04:25] <Mecha25> band4life: good for you
[04:26] <ty5479> okay guys, I'm getting the following errors "ata4.00" status DRDY

[04:26] <iplaythisgame> Mecha25,  not now, i was gona resize the ubu to almost all of the disk, but keep a small partition in front so i could reinstall somethin if i had to and grub would be setup already
[04:26] <[TiZ]> Where do I go to fix a mount point that I messed up in Nautilus?
[04:26] <band4life> mecha25 you dont give a #@%$
[04:26] <blarg> oi... are there any current versions of bitchx?
[04:26] <bastid_raZor> [TiZ]; /etc/fstab
[04:26] <Mecha25> iplaythisgame: what file system did you want the partition at the front to be?
[04:26] <blarg> i went to bitchx.com / *org.. and nothing... they have been working on bitchx 2 for years
[04:26] <[TiZ]> Is that for USB drives too?
[04:26] <Nillerz> Trying to get windows apps to run on linux is easier than running linux apps on windows.
[04:27] <nathan__> is it possible to make the document viewer use all the default printer settings?  i have it setup in the printers applet how i want it to print, but when i try to print with document viewer it changes half of the options and doesnt end up printing how i want it to.  it also doesnt have all the options i want so i can't set it up correctly from in the document viewer
[04:27] <belzebub> whats bitchx?
[04:27] <Mecha25> band4life: no, I care that my computer does what I need it to do.  I don't care HOW, or WHO made the software, I just want it to work.  I kinda like that
[04:27] <yuri_> hi guys, im considering buying the acer aspire one netbook, does ubuntu play nice with it?
[04:27] <EFG> one last question
[04:27] <band4life> nillerz cant say i have ever tried to run a linux app on windows, but point taken.
[04:27] <xymaxyma> yuri_, just google it!
[04:27] <crdlb> blarg: use irssi
[04:27] <xymaxyma> but I recommend dell or HP
[04:27] <Blaqlight> blarg: use irssi or weechat
[04:27] <Mecha25> yuri: here, you'll like this: http://www.linux-laptop.net/
[04:27] <EFG> If I were to compile something from source, where's the C:\Program Files\?
[04:27] <yuri_> Mecha25: thanks
[04:27] <blarg> isnt that what all clients epic/bitchx ... where made off? do they have cool spiffy scripts for it?
[04:28] <iplaythisgame> Mecha25,  dont really care, i have some of it as ext2 thats not the problem, its that i cant resize my last 40GB root partion over any of the first 40Gb empty      where could i upload a ss?
[04:28] <Guest92397> where can I go to get help
[04:28] <EFG> and how would I add it to the GNOME menu?
[04:28] <xymaxyma> dell supports  ubuntu perfectly
[04:28] <Housefly7k> yuri_: you can also check here
[04:28] <Guest92397> I need assistance
[04:28] <Mecha25> yuri: everything you need to put linux on a laptop: or you can use System76
[04:28] <Blaqlight> blarg: both do.
[04:28] <Housefly7k> yuri_:  http://www.linux-laptop.net/
[04:28] <[TiZ]> bastid_razor, would you happen to know where to go to fix mountpoints for USB drives?
[04:28] <crdlb> blarg: there are lots of perl scripts for irssi, but no it's not ircII
[04:28] <band4life> mecha25 dont get me wrong I LOVE linux, I just dont like that I cant play my games on it.  And yes I have wine but it doesnt cut it.  Some day linux will rule, and microsoft will be but a memory.  But until then microsoft still wins the game sector.
[04:29] <[TiZ]> Oh, and band4life: A lot of Windows games do-- hm. Okay, so you already know.
[04:29] <[TiZ]> But what's your point?
[04:29] <blarg> wow -
[04:29] <whereiskurt> band4life: I'm more of a Wii kind of guy. :-)
[04:29] <yuri_> oh wait. acer aspire = linpus = FC8
[04:29] <Housefly7k> [TiZ]: /etc/fstab maybe
[04:29] <kercyr> do psnup or psbind exist in the latest ubuntu packages?
[04:29] <Blaqlight> band4life: get new games :D like tuxracer?
[04:29] <iplaythisgame> wheres the easiest place to upload a screenshot
[04:29] <iplaythisgame> ?
[04:29] <crdlb> iplaythisgame: http://picpaste.com
[04:30] <[TiZ]> Housefly7k, my iPod isn't in there. That's for static filesystems.
[04:30] <Mecha25> band4life: I disagree.  Linux isn't designed to outdo or outsell windows.  it just wants to be the best OS it can.  if that means outselling microsoft, then so be it, but it's not going to get easier or better with that as a goal.  if it does, it wouldn't be linux, at least not to me.  Oh, have you heard of ReactOS?
[04:30] <Blaqlight> iplaythisgame: deviantart.com
[04:30] <[TiZ]> Mecha25 put it perfectly.
[04:30] <keekles> the open ati driver won't load on my laptop with the correct resolution, and fglrx hard crashes after the login screen, does anyone else have a problem with fglrx like this?
[04:30] <[TiZ]> Lol@ReactOS. I don't think it's ready yet.
[04:30] <iplaythisgame> Mecha25, http://picpaste.com/Screenshot--dev-sda_-_GParted.png
[04:30] <band4life> mecha25 no, what is reactos?
[04:30] <Mecha25> [TIZ] thank you, thank you, I practice in front of the mirror every night :D
[04:30] <Mecha25> band4life: google it
[04:30] <[TiZ]> band4life, ReactOS is Open Source Windows.

[04:31] <EFG> type /back
[04:31] <Mecha25> oh!  you have them in an extended partition, that's the problem!
[04:32] <Housefly7k> [TiZ]: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=168221   maybe this link will help you
[04:32] <Mecha25> extended partitions are weird, you have to resize them before their contents, or somehting like that.  I never did get it fully, I just messed around until my setup worked.
[04:32] <iplaythisgame> Mecha25, ok so how i fix without a /backupreinstall
[04:32] <Mecha25> iplaythisgame: try resizing SDA2, not SDA5
[04:32] <band4life> reactos sounds interesting, but I would prefer it if linux could run windows software more fluently.
[04:32] <iplaythisgame> Mecha25,  i dont think it gave me any options but i can look again.
[04:32] <band4life> whynot?
[04:33] <blarg> grrrrr i want to listen to music#@!%@! lol
[04:33] <Mecha25> band4life: then start hacking on wine :D
[04:33] <iplaythisgame> Mecha25, thanks at least i kinda know the prob now
[04:33] <Mecha25> iplaythisgame: better idea!!
[04:33] <iplaythisgame> ?
[04:34] <Mecha25> iplaythisgame: copy your sda5 to the unallocated space at the front of the drive, shrink it, add a swap partition, then scrap the second half.  it'll keep everything, and once the second half is gone, you can resize everything to fit
[04:34] <Mecha25> the copy and paste buttons at the top of that screen are wonderful I must say
[04:34] <Housefly7k> iplaythisgame: are you trying to use up that first unallocated 36.16 Gb ...by adding it to  /dev/sda5
[04:34] <band4life> mecha25 i can barely use linux as it is.  I grew up on dos, and windows.  and linux is a new language.  but I can see the potential to take over the entire market.  nothing is better than free, especially when it does everything anything else can do.
[04:34] <iplaythisgame> Mecha25,  good idea
[04:34] <iplaythisgame> Housefly7k, yes
[04:34] <voidmage> firefox question - when I use type to find and it brings up the quick find bar, f3 and shift-f3 don't work to find next/previous
[04:34] <voidmage> how do i fix this?
[04:35] <Mecha25> band4life: it's potential, yeah, but it's not happening anytime soon.  If it was going to, it would have happened long ago, in the .com boom. at least that's what I think
[04:35] <Housefly7k> iplaythisgame: resize the /dev/sda2 extended partition first, and then you should be able to merge them
[04:35] <iplaythisgame> Housefly7k, thnks ill try
[04:35] <band4life> mecha25 why is it so hard to get windows software to run in linux?
[04:35] <Indeph> How can I get Linux Firefox/Swiftweasel to let me use my mouse3 to make the same scroll thing it does on Windows?
[04:35] <Dexikiix> hey
[04:36] <Mecha25> the same reason it's so hard to put Honda car parts in a Chevy, two whole different base systems
[04:36] <homerj> Indeph, enable autoscrolling ?
[04:36] <homerj> you mean where you press it down

[04:38] <legend2440> ty5479: is it a dvd burner or cd?
[04:38] <homerj> running Windows just because it has games, is like going to the shitty grocery store because they have the larger jar of pickles
[04:38] <Dexikiix> Mecha25 that sounds a lot like the rule for girls

[04:40] <gnomefreak> thank you
[04:40] <band4life> sorry, I shall get onto business now.
[04:40] <Guest92397> can someone help me out
[04:40] <veynom> my keyboard doens't work after I boot into ubuntu? any takers?
[04:40] <Guest92397> I my ubuntu install after 2 years just got screwed
[04:40] <Mecha25> veynom: is it USB or PS/2?
[04:40] <veynom> ps/2
[04:40] <Guest92397> I am about to leave ubuntu
[04:40] <Ashex> does anyone else run Opera?
[04:40] <Mecha25> huh... you did boot with it plugged in, right?
[04:41] <nickrud> Guest92397 what did you do to your poor machine ;)
[04:41] <Dexikiix> thanks Housefly7k i'll take a look at that real quick but i'll probably be back
[04:41] <Guest92397> can I please get a knowledgeable person's help
[04:41] <band4life> How can I play .rm files in linux.  I just d-loaded the "installer"  from realtime, but I cant install it by double clicking.  Is there a package that I should get?
[04:41] <Guest92397> today I ran the gutsy-> hardy update
[04:41] <gnomefreak> Guest92397: what is it you need help with
[04:41] <evo> i removed the pci nic in hopes the onboard will just work now
[04:41] <stemd> Guest92397: hardy is good
[04:41] <nickrud> Guest92397 and you have broken packages, I bet
[04:41] <dolphin_noel> gnea you there?!
[04:41] <veynom> like it works in winbloze and what not
[04:41] <Guest92397> I used the steps provided on ubuntu's upgrade website
[04:41] <Guest92397> it froze @ locales
[04:41] <stemd> intrepid install is stupid :-)
[04:41] <xymaxyma> band4life, add medibuntu support in software sources
[04:41] <Guest92397> like everyone else
[04:41] <dolphin_noel> gnea i find the solution looks like
[04:42] <dolphin_noel> :x
[04:42] <gnomefreak> Guest92397: did you try running update than dist-upgrade again?
[04:42] <Mecha25> veynom: just checking the basics.  does the caps-lock or num-lock light come on?
[04:42] <veynom> nope, not after grub
[04:42] <Guest92397> problem is, when I rebooted and when into grub and selected restore mode, my dpkg, apt, and /var/www folders are all gone
[04:42] <gnomefreak> Guest92397: or however you upgraded
[04:42] <BobPenguin> Hello there. I'm trying to run GoogleVideoUploared on Ubuntu 8.04. I'm following the instructions on this tutorial: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35548 However, after installing the JRE when I start the video uploader the application hangs up (I mean, crashes). I get this (followed by some other lines) in the terminal: java.lang.NullPointerException. Any hints?
[04:42] <veynom> like I can get into the BIOS and what not but after grub it turns it off
[04:42] <Mecha25> veynom: are you using an english/american keyboard?
[04:42] <Guest92397> i can't run dpkg --configure -a
[04:42] <veynom> yeppers
[04:42] <Dexikiix> Housefly7k, my problem is that i get errors on "make" and "make install" with ndiswrapper-1.53
[04:42] <gnomefreak> Guest92397: do you have update repos enabled?
[04:42] <Mecha25> huh... that's odd.
[04:43] <veynom> i think it might be this
[04:43] <veynom> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/59616
[04:43] <band4life> xymaxyma "medi"  and "medibuntu" are not coming up when I search

[04:43] <Guest92397> my WHOLE /var/www folder is missing as well
[04:44] <Guest92397> i can't run apt-get
[04:44] <Mecha25> anybody know the line to recreate your xorg.conf?  I've forgotten it
[04:44] <Guest92397> or dpkg --configure
[04:44] <msmarc> haha reinstall
[04:44] <band4life> nickrud you prob. dont remember but I got banned along time ago, and I dont know if I still am.  Could you please check for me?
[04:44] <gnomefreak> Guest92397: Guest92397 install smartpm and try. only bad thins is it will bring in some X packages
[04:44] <nickrud> band4life sure, join #ubuntu-ops
[04:44] <band4life> nickrud okey dokey
[04:44] <Mecha25> Guest92397: good luck buddy, I had to reinstall the last time that happened
[04:44] <gnomefreak> Guest92397: you can re create them
[04:45] <gnomefreak> Guest92397: find someone on Hardy have them post it somewhere and make the file/dir
[04:45] <Dexikiix> oh dang housely left
[04:45] <evo> sorry to keep bothering with these petty networking questions but I'm still stuck
[04:45] <Dexikiix> anyone else know about ndiswrapper?
[04:45] <Mecha25> veynom: if all else fails, you can try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[04:45] <evo> what the heck is eth0:avahi???
[04:45] <Mecha25> evo: have you tried turning on DHCP and seeing it it autoconfigures?
[04:46] <evo> and for some reason it has a 169.254 address
[04:46] <evo> yeah, i used the network manager gui
[04:46] <Dexikiix> eth0:avahi sounds like its referring to your adapter setup
[04:46] <wols> evo: avahi is a mdns daemon (zeroconf)
[04:46] <evo> just set to dhcp
[04:46] <evo> but no luck
[04:46] <wols> 169.254.x.x means dhcp tried to get a dhcp address and failed
[04:47] <evo> hmm
[04:47] <DozedOnLinux> 169.254.. reserved yes
[04:47] <Guest92397> is #Hardy a channel?
[04:47] <wols> most times you don't need avahi (unless your want to play with zeroconf stuff)
[04:47] <evo> let me restart the router to check if thats it
[04:47] <msmarc> anybody know a good program to streming server that can do m4a/aac files?
[04:47] <Dexikiix> join it and find out, Guest92397
[04:47] <veynom> how am i going to type that?
[04:47] <Dexikiix> msmarc, shoutcast?
[04:47] <wols> Dexikiix: what wlan chip?
[04:47] <Mecha25> veynom: in the terminal, type sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[04:47] <wols> Dexikiix: if anything, icecast
[04:48] <Mecha25> or you can copy and paste it
[04:48] <Mecha25> d'oh
[04:48] <veynom> how do i get to a terminal from grub?
[04:48] <Mecha25> recovery mode?
[04:48] <veynom> ah ok
[04:48] <Dexikiix> wols: i believe its broadcom, not sure if theres an exact type. i have a microsoft mn-730 using the 720.inf
[04:48] <veynom> sorry, its late here
[04:48] <wols> Dexikiix: usb or pci or built in?
[04:48] <Mecha25> it's late here too, east coast US
[04:48] <Dexikiix> pci
[04:48] <wols> Dexikiix: lspci output then
[04:48] <DozedOnLinux> sudo lspci | grep Network
[04:49] <Mecha25> veynom: did your keyboard work during the liveCD session you installed Ubuntu with?
[04:49] <wols> Dexikiix: lspci -nn ideally
[04:49] <Dexikiix> i remember doing lspci -n
[04:49] <veynom> i was using a usb keyboard then to get it to install
[04:49] <Dexikiix> anyway my problem is that i cant get ndiswrapper to install
[04:49] <wols> Dexikiix: if I say -nn I mean -nn
[04:49] <DozedOnLinux> wols: oh i like that lspci -nn
[04:49] <Dexikiix> lol
[04:49] <Mecha25> veynom: then use that to type in the command, which will reset your xorg.conf, and should re-enable the keyboard.  make sure you have the ps/2 one plugged in when you run it
[04:49] <evo> hmm. i wonder if i have to join the windows network in order to get an address
[04:50] <Dexikiix> hang on, is there a web-based freenode chat?
[04:50] <Mecha25> evo: you shouldn't
[04:50] <veynom> okay
[04:50] <Mecha25> dexikiix: yeah, one sec
[04:50] <Dexikiix> ty
[04:50] <wols> mibbit.com is a web based irc client
[04:50] <Dexikiix> oh duh
[04:50] <Dexikiix> how the hell did i forget about mibbit
[04:50] <Mecha25> dexikiix: that was the one I was looking for
[04:50] <esac> does anybody know of a good keylogger & screenshot capture utility similar to KGB spy for linux ?
[04:50] <Dexikiix> ok brb im gonna run and get a laptop so i can run linux while im in here
[04:50] <wols> evo: what are you trying to d?
[04:50] <Dexikiix> i'll be back soon guys
[04:51] <evo> trying to set up a nic to get online
[04:51] <evo> :/
[04:51] <wols> esac: we don't do keylogging. ask elsewhere for your script kiddie needs
[04:51] <evo> i want it to be static now that I think about it
[04:51] <wols> evo: what NIC chip do you have?
[04:51] <meLon> Hello everyone!!! I am having problems with some of my partitions in Ubuntu/Vista. I've got a post here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=fff6febeb020564a447bf60676f50bc7&p=5525286#post5525286 Any help will be very much appreciated :D
[04:52] <esac> wols: wow, how ignorant to assume that everyone who runs a keylogger is a script kiddie
[04:52] <evo> its onboard. msi chipset. with foxconn on the metal housing around the port wols
[04:52] <wols> esac: there is no other use for one except spying on others
[04:52] <wols> esac: lspci -nn
[04:53] <evo> perhaps overzealous parental supervision
[04:53] <iplaythisgame> Mecha25: i count resize it before because the swap was active. didnt realize the livecd would do that
[04:53] <wols> esac: the name "KGB SPy" of this other malware is a big hint
[04:53] <esac> wols: i have a VERY crappy memory. i run kgb spy on my windows machine so i have a history of MY actions
[04:53] <esac> wols: refog personal monitor
[04:53] <iplaythisgame> Mecha25:  just incase you run across someone else with that problem
[04:53] <wols> esac: yes. repeat it often enough and you might even believe it. linux has logs
[04:53] <Mecha25> iplaythisgame: yep, automounting is nice for newbs, not so nice for advanced stuff.  oh well, you can unmount them from in gparted
[04:53] <iplaythisgame> Mecha25:  thx
[04:53] <fantomas> Is there UI to iptables in Ubuntu?
[04:53] <esac> wols: you are an ass, thanks for the help
[04:53] <Mecha25> no problem
[04:53] <wols> fantomas: try firestarter
[04:53] <RudyValencia> Why does my GDM display at a different resolution than my desktop?
[04:53] <wols> esac: add hominems lead to bans
[04:54] <iplaythisgame> Mecha25: didnt show it as mounted thought, just gave me the option to "swapoff"

[04:54] <Mecha25> iplaythisgame: you were messing with the Linux Swap partition, werent' you?
[04:54] <scribawf> My CD-R/RW not recognized how do I fix this?
[04:54] <sajuuk> esac: no drama, it hurts :(
[04:54] <flourish> but i don't know howto configure the sunbird or lightning exactly, so i always won't work
[04:54] <Mecha25> esac: this is a support forum, not a "where can I find this program forum".  that's what Google and Synaptic are for
[04:55] <Mecha25> esac:sorry man, if you're gonna do something, at least use the right tools for the job
[04:55] <blarg> wtf is chatzilla
[04:55] <Mecha25> blarg: IRC chat built into firefox, I think
[04:55] <iplaythisgame> Mecha25:  wasnt trying to , but it was in my extended partition. The swap was active but not mounted per se, so it wouldnt let me resize the extended
[04:55] <blarg> firefox has built in chat and torrent software huh?
[04:55] <wols> blarg: a crappy irc client from the mozilla project
[04:55] <Mecha25> blarg: it can be added onto it, yeah
[04:55] <wols> blarg: torrent? not really
[04:55] <sajuuk> i have a really offtopic question, but its the only choice i have... is there a IRC support forum for Vista?  :(
[04:55] <blarg> i miss ansii clients with black screens and cool glowing ansii
[04:55] <esac> Mecha25: im not going to argue with that response, at least its helpful instead of insulting :) ive asked for alternatives to the windows software ive used in here many times before with no issues
[04:55] <Mecha25> iplaythisgame: ah
[04:55] <kindofabuzz> blarg: no, but there are addons that will do that
[04:55] <wols> sajuuk: ##windows
[04:55] <flourish> and also this post :  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=119228&highlight=webdav

[04:55] <blarg> i cant even get to a friggin console.,, ctrl alt f* doesnt work
[04:56] <sajuuk> cool thx
[04:56] <Mecha25> iplaythisgame: as long as it works, that's good
[04:56] <Mecha25> esac: you know how to search Synaptic, right?
[04:56] <esac> Mecha25: yes, and found nothing that works for me
[04:56] <esac> Mecha25: not everything is in synaptic :(
[04:56] <wols> Mecha25: just a hint, ubuntu doesn't ship malware like this
[04:56] <fantomas> wols: thank you, just installed it, playing...
[04:57] <Mecha25> esac: then google for sources and try to compile, that's the only 2 tricks I know, other than going to Adept for KDE
[04:57] <evo> wols: how important was the chipset question?
[04:57] <scribawf> looks like no one wants to tangle with cd-r/rw not recognizable, huh??
[04:57] <wols> evo: very
[04:57] <legend2440> RudyValencia:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto     se section called   GDM uses a different Resolution than my Desktop
[04:57] <wols> evo: and I told you how to get the info
[04:57] <wols> evo: lspci -nn
[04:57] <fantomas> wols: is there a way to add a rule into nat table in prerouting chain? %-/
[04:57] <kercyr> How do you find a particular executable/script in the repository?  (e.g. psbind)
[04:57] <esac> wols: you sent that to me, not evo
[04:57] <Mecha25> wols: yeah, but I at least have to give the guy the benefit of the doubt.  He could be just an overzealous parent like mine used to be
[04:57] <fantomas> wols: using firestarter I mean
[04:57] <evo> i didnt see that wols , sorry
[04:57] <wols> fantomas: with iptables, sure. with firestarter: no clue. Do you use ipmasq?
[04:58] <wols> Mecha25: still malware
[04:58] <esac> Mecha25: you can be sure that when my girls start using the computer, i will be running 'malware' like this to log their actions
[04:58] <esac> Mecha25: but theyve got a few years :)
[04:58] <wols> fantomas: what do you use for your NAT?
[04:58] <debian> hi everyone
[04:58] <evo> wols: sis900
[04:59] <Jasnation> general question: about a week or two ago, I downloaded the ubuntu live cd iso and burned several disks, none of which worked. I did the md5 checks and such, but still nothing worked and there was no reason for it (the linux kernel was failing to load). The cd I requested from shipit just got here, and it works perfectly. Has anyone else had similar problems?
[04:59] <jigp> hello what is the best torrnt client to use in ubuntu aside from transmission torrent? thanks
[04:59] <wols> evo: that's supported by default. sudo ifconfig -a
[04:59] <Guest81704> jigp, the two i like are azureus and ktorrent
[04:59] <wols> Jasnation: define "doesn't work" for the md5sum stuff you did
[04:59] <evo> im already root :) .  and ive been using ifconfig to check
[04:59] <RudyValencia> I don't have anything like that in my xorg.conf
[04:59] <RudyValencia> legend2440: I don't have anything like that in my xorg.conf
[04:59] <rand0m> ??? my windows partition would auto-mount on boot with ubuntu since i installed it about 2 months ago - suddenly now it's not mounting
[04:59] <wols> evo: pastebin the output
[04:59] <jigp> why you like azureus and ktorrent? Guest81704?
[04:59] <rand0m> it shows in the last of mounting devices
[04:59] <Jasnation> wols: I did md5 checks and they said the download was fine
[05:00] <evo> wols: how? im not connected
[05:00] <wols> you have a usb stick, floppies, etc?
[05:00] <legend2440> RudyValencia: you have to add it
[05:00] <Guest81704> jigp, simplicity
[05:00] <Guest81704> how do i change my nickname rofl i forgot
[05:00] <fantomas> wols: for DNATing
[05:01] <wols> Guest81704:  /nick newname
[05:01] <MrVampy> type /nick <nickname>
[05:01] <Guest81704> jigp, plus ktorrent is light on the resources
[05:01] <wols> fantomas: that doesn't answer my question
[05:01] <Guest81704> thx MrVampy
[05:01] <Jasnation> wols: from the ubuntu startup thing when the disk loaded, I tried to verify the disk or whatever but the linux kernel failed to load (the loading bar just gets stuck)
[05:01] <Mecha25> esac: I don't agree with you doing that, but hey, I'm not here to judge, I'm here to help.  google for sources, that's about all I can recommend, you're not going to find software to do stuff like that built into ubuntu, that's just not something that tends to happen
[05:01] <debian_akroyd> there much better
[05:01] <fantomas> wols: need to forward some traffic comming locally to another machine
[05:01] <wols> fantomas: that is not answering the question. read the questions again and finally answer them
[05:02] <blarg> xmms oss.,, this shit is still around but bitchx isnt
[05:02] <blarg> wtf
[05:02] <fantomas> 07:59 < wols> fantomas: what do you use for your NAT?
[05:02] <fantomas> hmm
[05:02] <rand0m> ??? my windows partition would auto-mount on boot with ubuntu since i installed it about 2 months ago - suddenly now it's not mounting.. it shows in "places" but i get the error "unable to mount the volume"
[05:02] <regeya> language...meh.
[05:02] <wols> fantomas: what software? ipmasq?
[05:02] <wols> blarg: use irssi
[05:02] <regeya> xmms is still around?  wow.
[05:02] <qweqweqwe> how do you set startup services in ubuntu shell?
[05:02] <dolo> anyone here good with usplash?
[05:02] <jigp> Guest81704  ah for kde? im gnome
[05:02] <fantomas> wols: I don't use software. I've come and ask - is there a software for this
[05:02] <nickrud> blarg this is a disney g rated channel, please remember ;)
[05:02] <blarg> sorry
[05:02] <wols> qweqweqwe: new ones or enable disable existing ones?
[05:02] <fantomas> wols: you suggested using firestarter
[05:02] <blarg> so yah is enlightenment still around?
[05:03] <regeya> anyone remember xmms being based straight off of xlib?  that was bizarre
[05:03] <qweqweqwe> wols, disable
[05:03] <blarg> gnome is kind of goofy
[05:03] <debian_akroyd> jigp, well ktorrent works in gnome
[05:03] <regeya> e17 will be out Real Soon Now
[05:03] <fantomas> wols: I installed it and it lacks functionality which I need.
[05:03] <wols> fantomas: for NAT? you already have NAT running so you did enable NAT somewhow
[05:03] <wols> qweqweqwe: use rcconf
[05:03] <qweqweqwe> cheers
[05:03] <wols> !info rcconf

[05:03] <debian_akroyd> besides, Guest81704 is now known as debian_akroyd
[05:03] <fantomas> wols: no, I'm behind a chain of servers, which NAT my traffic. At this station iptables are clean as first snow
[05:04] <fantomas> wols: what do I need is configure them, but instead of do it manually I was interesting in finding UI ubuntu way )
[05:04] <dolo> usplash?
[05:04] <blarg> grrrrrrrrr
[05:04] <wols> fantomas: if you want to portforward, you have to chnage the router(s) doing NAT for you. you can't change local iptables and expect forwarded ports
[05:04] <fantomas> wols: more user friendly )
[05:04] <rand0m> ??? my windows partition would auto-mount on boot with ubuntu since i installed it about 2 months ago - suddenly now it's not mounting.. it shows in "places" but i get the error "unable to mount the volume"
[05:05] <Mecha25> rand0m: did you shut down or hibernate your windows partition the last time you used it?
[05:05] <wols> rand0m: is if still in fstab?
[05:05] <legend2440> RudyValencia: is there a   Virtual    line in your xorg.conf?
[05:05] <wols> *is it
[05:05] <terbo> 21:08 <@acrobot> A new round is beginning!  Everyone must /MSG me your answer.   You click the menu and can't see it because it is behind graphics
[05:06] <Mecha25> rand0m: that'll do it, Ubuntu won't mount improperly shutdown/hibernated/wrongly ejected drives
[05:06] <mylogic> I'm trying to get ASP support on my 8.04 server, what packages do I need?
[05:06] <Mecha25> wols: ok, I'm a newb to IRC, I thought it might be an anti-bot measure
[05:06] <debian_akroyd> rand0m, sudo mount /dev/[windows partition] /media/[mount folder]
[05:06] <Wickerman> hi!
[05:06] <rand0m> Mecha25, ahh ok.. is there a way i can fix it from here, or should i boot back into windows & then shutdown ?
[05:06] <wols> fantomas: I told you what to do. changing your local iptables setup won't do a thing. you need to change the device doing NAT for you
[05:06] <evo> wols: http://pastebin.com/d6779f5ea
[05:06] <iplaythisgame> rand0m: boot into the windows and shut it down properly, bet that fixed it
[05:06] <debian_akroyd> ex: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/harddisk
[05:07] <wols> fantomas: whihc most likely makes it OT here
[05:07] <rand0m> iplaythisgame, k ill give that a shot
[05:07] <fantomas> wols: actually I expected to get working something like: -A PREROUTING -i lo -p tcp --dport 2802 -j DNAT --to-destination <IP_ADDRESS>:2802
[05:07] <Mecha25> rand0m: just boot windows and shutdown, that should fix it, easier than terminal hacking for me at least
[05:07] <dexikiix> wols: i ran that lspci -nn  (bcm43xg)
[05:07]  * Mecha25 's jaw drops at fantomas's TCP/IP foo
[05:07] <wols> evo: so you have eth0 which is probably your NIC and it has an IP. what doesn't work exactly?
[05:07] <debian_akroyd> iplaythisgame, you can still mount a windows partition even if it wasnt shut down proper, you just have to throw in the -o force
[05:07] <Mecha25> that looks impressive
[05:07] <evo> i cant ping gateway
[05:07] <evo> or get to the internet
[05:08] <evo> nothing gets resolved
[05:08] <evo> i used my gateway as the dns
[05:08] <wols> fantomas: is your ubuntu doing the NAT? if yes, you can portforward. if no, no matter what you do it won't work
[05:08] <evo> and also an outside dns
[05:08] <iplaythisgame> debian_akroyd: prolly easier for him though. or can u perma force?
[05:08] <wols> evo: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[05:08] <newclimb> hello anybody can help me i wanna conect with a switch is there any comand to do it, because with a point I used sudo dhclient and it worked but with a switch it doesn't work?
[05:08] <debian_akroyd> iplaythisgame, idk about the perma force ive only had that occur once
[05:08] <wols> iplaythisgame: sure you can. if you want to corrupt data
[05:09] <fantomas> wols: I simply need to forward traffic comming from local processes. Do they reach nat/PREROUTING? huh
[05:09] <evo> wols: it shows the 2 nameservers i put in. but that still doesn't explain why i cant ping addresses
[05:09] <wols> fantomas: since you don't do NAT: NO
[05:09] <wols> fantomas: use a ssh portforward
[05:09] <evo> in numerical format
[05:09] <dolo>  anyone use usplash?
[05:09] <wols> evo: it does if you can't reach either of them
[05:09] <LinuxIST> try dell.com and see what i mean
[05:10] <jakspanna27> does anyone know if my ralink 2500 USB supports wifi sniffing
[05:10] <Gustov> hey guys, I'm new to ubuntu.  Just installed fiesty fawn
[05:10] <debian_akroyd> dolo, i believe alot of the ubuntu users use usplash
[05:10] <wols> evo: /sbin/route
[05:10] <Gustov> however, my wireless card isn't working
[05:10] <dolo> ya
[05:10] <debian_akroyd> not unless they have the quiet option set for grub
[05:10] <iplaythisgame> Gustov: Wlecome, why not hardy?
[05:10] <dolo> well i cant get mine to work
[05:10] <dexikiix> Gustov, join the club
[05:10] <debian_akroyd> or i mean not set for grub
[05:10] <Gustov> hardy?
[05:10] <debian_akroyd> sry
[05:10] <dexikiix> yeah
[05:10] <wols> dexikiix: what is the problem with your ndiswrapper?
[05:10] <dolo> i think i mighta messed up the grub
[05:11] <dexikiix> i get a couple errors when i do make and make install
[05:11] <Gustov> could anyone help?
[05:11] <debian_akroyd> dolo, probably because you do not have 'quiet' in the grub boot command line
[05:11] <Mecha25> Gustov: yeah, but the easiest way would be to install Hardy Heron and see if it works with that
[05:11] <wols> dexikiix: why do you do that when ubuntu has a package for it?
[05:11] <billybigrigger> can someone give me a hand here, i can login via ssh on my local lan, but as soon as i try to login through my aircard (outside lan) i get access denied after trying my password, i cant find anything in sshd_config that is only allowing lan traffic, any help?
[05:11] <iplaythisgame> Gustov:  the newest version of ubuntu, generally better out of the box wireless support. they really worked on that
[05:11] <Gustov> hardy heron?  can I install that with a flash drive?
[05:11] <dexikiix> iplaythisgame, is that 8.1?
[05:11] <dolo> i managed to get it working again but the default splash looks lower in resolution for some reason
[05:11] <wols> !usb
[05:11] <ubot3> For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[05:11] <billybigrigger> its not like my firewall is denying it as i can type my username and password, its ubuntu giving me access denied, not my firewall
[05:11] <billybigrigger> any suggestions?
[05:12] <Mecha25> Gustov: nope, you install it the same way you installed Feisty Fawn, with a LiveCD
[05:12] <iplaythisgame> dexikiix: 8.04
[05:12] <legend2440> Gustov: in terminal type     lsb_release -a   does it say hardy or gutsy?
[05:12] <dexikiix> oh
[05:12] <dolo> you mean that line quiet something 788
[05:12] <dexikiix> i know 8.1 is in alpha
[05:12] <jakspanna27> when trying to install dos2unix i get read/write error does anyone know why is this?
[05:12] <Gustov> do I need to be the superuser?
[05:12] <newclimb> hello anybody can help me i wanna conect with a switch is there any comand to do it, because with a point I used sudo dhclient and it worked but with a switch it doesn't work?
[05:12] <debian_akroyd> debian_akroyd, cant wait for 8.10 to come out :D
[05:12] <Mecha25> Gustov: you're coming from windows, right?
[05:12] <iplaythisgame> Mecha25:  i made a live persistant usb of hardy, it can be done
[05:12] <wols> dexikiix: install ndisgtk
[05:12] <dexikiix> er
[05:13] <debian_akroyd> it will be here in 6 months!!  ALWAYS use synaptic to install stuff
[05:13] <stepnjump> hi guys
[05:13] <iplaythisgame> Mecha25: ouch i removed my hdds to make it
[05:13] <stepnjump> I would have a quick question
[05:13] <dexikiix> k
[05:13] <stepnjump> I'm new to ubuntu
[05:13] <Mecha25> iplaythisgame: yeah, that's what did it... now if only I had tried that the first time
[05:13] <homerj> I always compile stuff
[05:13] <dolo> debian_akroyd: you meen the line quiet something 788
[05:14] <dexikiix> so i install ndisgtk?
[05:14] <homerj> compiling your own stuff
[05:14] <Mecha25> iplaythisgame: ended up using Puppy linux anyway
[05:14] <homerj> is why there is /usr/local
[05:14] <stepnjump> how can I install a source application?
[05:14] <debian_akroyd> dexikiix, here is a good site for linux commands..i use it alot http://www.ss64.com/bash/
[05:14] <wols> homerj: what you do in your home is your business. here, you better tell people to use ubuntu ways if at all possible
[05:14] <stepnjump> by compiling my own CPP
[05:14] <dexikiix> wols: is that "sudo apt-got install ndisgtk"
[05:14] <dexikiix> ?
[05:14] <dexikiix> apt-get*
[05:15] <wols> dexikiix: among others yes. do you have a GUI or not?
[05:15] <dexikiix> i believe so
[05:15] <iplaythisgame> ;)
[05:15] <wols> stepnjump: you don#t compile your own cpp
[05:15] <wols> dexikiix: don't believe. CHECK
[05:15] <stepnjump> wols thanks
[05:15] <rand0m-> iplaythisgame, reboot & proper shut down resolved.. you were right, thanks a lot
[05:15] <wols> seeing if one has a GUI or a text console only is pretty easy. even when you are blind
[05:15] <stepnjump> I was told it works better if I compile my own
[05:15] <stepnjump> no?
[05:15] <dexikiix> you mean a gui for ndisgtk?
[05:15] <wols> stepnjump: install build-essential
[05:15] <homerj> wols, you make it sound SO dirty
[05:15] <iplaythisgame> rand0m-:  np spread the love
[05:15] <stepnjump> ok
[05:16] <homerj> install something to /usr/local, and then call Max Mosley to see where he gets his hookers
[05:16] <jakspanna27> does anyone know why when i install dos2unix I get a read/write error
[05:16] <wols> stepnjump: first, there is no CPP. 2nd, whoever told you had no clue
[05:16] <Mecha25> rand0m: welcome to the wonderful world of Dual Booting
[05:16] <stepnjump> by doing a apt-get install wols?
[05:16] <stepnjump> ok
[05:16] <stepnjump> thank you very much
[05:16] <wols> homerj: do you have a ubuntu support related question?
[05:16] <Kernel> !istanbul
[05:16] <ubot3> istanbul: Desktop session recorder producing Ogg Theora video. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.2-2 (hardy), package size 76 kB, installed size 624 kB
[05:16] <stepnjump> I just LOVE ubuntu
[05:16] <stepnjump> it,s so great
[05:16] <stepnjump> It's been so long that I wanted to phase out XP
[05:16] <wols> stepnjump: that's nice but OT here
[05:16] <stepnjump> Thank you very much wols
[05:17] <dotech> i love linearly searching an array of large N, not.

[05:17] <wols> Gustov: what wlan chip?
[05:17] <homerj> if I have Compiz enabled
[05:17] <wols> homerj: I'd ask #compiz
[05:17] <Gustov> but like I said, I have a 2 gb flashdrive.. couldn't I first use this comp to install the necessary driver?
[05:17] <sajuuk> step we have a #ubuntu-offtopic channel for ya :)
[05:17] <wols> Gustov: answer me. what wlan chip is it?
[05:17] <evo> wols: http://pastebin.com/d4e8c03c4

[05:20] <Gustov> yeah, as soon as I can get internet I'm going to install the newest ubuntu
[05:20] <iplaythisgame> does the site list it like that?
[05:20] <iplaythisgame> ..
[05:20] <wols> dexikiix: then I ask you a LAST time: do you have a working GUI?
[05:20] <Gustov> but I only had a copy of fiesty fawn aka 7.04
[05:21] <evo> wols: address for kernel log?
[05:21] <iplaythisgame> wols: he said yes
[05:21] <dexikiix> i see a desktop and icons and all that, i thats what you mean
[05:21] <wols> evo: where all logs are /var/log
[05:21] <Mecha25> Gustov: hehe, now I get the situation, that's funny.  Open the box with the crowbar you will find inside
[05:21] <dexikiix> if*
[05:21] <evo> lol man. im a noob at linux
[05:21] <wols> dexikiix: ok, the ndisgtk should work fine. have fun
[05:21] <Mecha25> Gustov: best of luck to you though
[05:21] <dexikiix> wols. i dont even know what ndisgtk is... lol
[05:21] <Gustov> what do you mean mecha?
[05:21] <wols> evo: man locate. awesomely useful command to check where is what
[05:21] <dexikiix> and i have yet to see it around anywhere
[05:21] <wols> dexikiix: the name of a ubuntu package
[05:21] <wols> apt-cache show ndis-gtk
[05:22] <wols> apt-cache show ndisgtk
[05:22] <Mecha25> Gustov: you're trying to fix your wireless to get the new version, which will fix your wireless
[05:22] <Gustov> lol
[05:22] <iplaythisgame> lol
[05:22] <cyphase> i can't quite remember.. is cups-pdf installed by default in hardy, and the pdf printer enabled?
[05:22] <Gustov> well yeah... I want to upgrade for other reasons as well
[05:22] <dexikiix> W: unable to locate package ndis-gtk
[05:22] <dexikiix> E: NO packages found
[05:22] <Gustov> is hardy the newest ubuntu I take?
[05:22] <wols> dexikiix: I corrected myself. read up
[05:22] <wols> Gustov: yes
[05:22] <dexikiix> oh
[05:22] <Gustov> I was hoping it was a software client lol
[05:23] <dexikiix> same error
[05:23] <Gnea> dexikiix: try this:  apt-cache search ndis gtk
[05:23] <dexikiix> ok
[05:23] <wols> Gustov: I am asking you for the third time: what wlan chip?
[05:23] <Gustov> PCI
[05:23] <dexikiix> no responce, gnea
[05:23] <Mecha25> Gustov: yes, Hardy is the newest ubuntu
[05:23] <wols> PCI is not a chip. it's a bus protocol
[05:23] <Gustov> wols*
[05:23] <jsjones> when I upgraded to 8.04, I overwrite all my video card config files, so now I have no 3d support. is there anyway I can get them back?
[05:23] <Gnea> Gustov: it is highly recommended that you provide wols with the information he requests.
[05:23] <iplaythisgame> wols: easy killer, some people are utter noobs, and he has already asked you how to find that out
[05:24] <Mecha25> jsjones: did you do a backup?
[05:24] <wols> Gustov: you didn't answer my question. use lspci -nn to check if you don't know
[05:24] <Gustov> oh okay
[05:24] <Gustov> one secod
[05:24] <Gustov> sec*
[05:24] <jsjones> mecha25: no. I'm screwed aren't I?
[05:24] <DozedOnLinux> quote: wols: apt-cache show ndisgtk
[05:24] <Mecha25> jsjones: you figured it out once, you can do it again
[05:24] <wols> jsjones: you are human, so yes you are by default. no matter what
[05:24] <dexikiix> wols, same error. i have no wired connection either
[05:24] <DJNeoUbuntu> somebody know how to install an eggdrop ?
[05:25] <wols> dexikiix: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ndis&searchon=names&suite=hardy&section=all
[05:25] <skrag> Hi guys, so im trying to use JACK (the audio editor) and no matter what i do the server would give me any sound, all my other audio programs work but JACK & friends... (hardy heron) its an onboard nvidia hd soundcardd
[05:25] <Mecha25> DJNeoUbuntu... computers have eggdrops?  I thought that was a soup?
[05:25] <skrag> wouldnt*
[05:25] <Mecha25> skrag: have you made sure nothing else is using your sound card?
[05:25] <Gnea> DJNeoUbuntu: sudo apt-get install eggdrop
[05:25] <jsjones> mecha25: but it took forever. I had to do it twice- once to get my video card to work, and another time to make compiz work
[05:25] <wols> dexikiix: download all packages there except the one ndisc6 one. then copy them over to the ubuntu install
[05:25] <Gnea> DJNeoUbuntu: (you don't have to make the pizza anymore)
[05:25] <jsjones> mecha25: but that was over a year ago
[05:25] <wols> DJNeoUbuntu: use supybot. much nicer and easier to use
[05:25] <dexikiix> lol mecha its an irc bot
[05:26] <Mecha25> jsjones: yeah, I had the same thing, took me a week to get one monitor working, 3 weeks to get both
[05:26] <sorin-mihai> DJNeoUbuntu, if is not working with that you'l have to install it from sources
[05:26] <wols> jsjones: what videocard?
[05:26] <Gnea> Mecha25: eggdrop is the original, old-school irc bot.
[05:26] <Mecha25> desikiix: who's a bot?
[05:26] <dexikiix> wols should i get that and move it over with a flash drive?
[05:26] <wols> Gnea: and it sucks almost as much as ircII
[05:26] <Mecha25> d'oh
[05:26] <wols> dexikiix: yes. you need the .deb files
[05:26] <dexikiix> mecha eggdrop
[05:26] <Gnea> wols: ircII ruled back in the day
[05:26] <skrag> mecha25: where can i cheak if my sound card is in use... theres nothing else open
[05:27] <jsjones> wols: ati X1400
[05:27] <wols> Gnea: I still have nightmares
[05:27]  * Mecha25 knows nothing about IRC bots
[05:27] <wols> !fglrx | jsjones
[05:27] <ubot3> jsjones: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:27] <Gnea> wols: have you considered therapy?
[05:27] <Gustov> okay viatechnologies.. I'm looking under pci no?
[05:27] <Mecha25> skrag, then nothing else should be using it.  are you using Jack Control from Add/Remove programs?
[05:27] <Gustov> do you want the number that follows?
[05:27] <DJNeoUbuntu> who know what is the best OS for an EGG ?
[05:27] <skrag> mecha25 yeah
[05:27] <wols> Gnea: compared to my other neuroses, this is a minor insignificant one. I guess I bear this emotional scar until I die
[05:27] <evo> wols: no eth0 down log. just "media link off" i brought it down and back up a few times though at first
[05:28] <jsjones> wols: I have all the restricted drivers and such, but I overwrote my xorg.conf and a bunch of other files when I updated
[05:28] <wols> DJNeoUbuntu: something POSIX compatible
[05:28] <DJNeoUbuntu> :)
[05:28] <dexikiix> lmao im going to use my MP3 player as a flash drive
[05:28] <DJNeoUbuntu> like....?
[05:28] <Gnea> wols: :)
[05:28] <wols> like linux
[05:28] <DozedOnLinux> Gustov:  yes the number and the model
[05:28] <Prez00> hello all
[05:28] <DJNeoUbuntu> i have linux
[05:28] <LOWER_CASE> In Nautilus 2.20.0, when I try to burn a CD, *EVERY* time it craps out with a message to say "lower the burn speed", but in nautilus I cannot find this bl**dy setting... anybody know where that is?
[05:28] <Mecha25> skrag: ok, go into the configuration pane of Jack Control, set everything to default, and pray.  Worked for me, I've found everytime I touch something in that config pane, all heck breaks loose and nothing works till I reset it
[05:28] <scribawf> how do i obtain mount privilges on a cd-r/rw device
[05:28] <wols> evo: no eth0 up anywhere?
[05:28] <my_haz> the bars on the top and bottom of gnome disapeared after i pushed the shutdown red button. I am running Hardy, and i just did an update (the problem started after the update).  So two questions, are there hotkeys to switch desktops. How do i fix this problem. And amusingly my googling brought up this lovely gem of internet smartz http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=706866
[05:28] <DJNeoUbuntu> but what linux is the best?
[05:28] <evo> didnt see it
[05:28] <wols> evo: eth0: Media Link On 100mbps full-duplex
[05:29] <evo> dont see that
[05:29] <wols> evo: that's what my SIS900 says
[05:29] <Gnea> !best | DJNeoUbuntu
[05:29] <ubot3> DJNeoUbuntu: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.
[05:29] <my_haz> DJNeoUbuntu: that depends on what you want to
[05:29] <wols> evo: cable problems
[05:29] <Gustov> PCI bridge [0604]: via technologies, Inc. VT8363/8365
[05:29] <Dodger> hi all, my audio is working fairly well, except when I play ONE video, it seems to lock up my entire audio system (no audio plays during any videos or playing sounds files).  For some strange reason audio still works for flash videos played through firefox.  Any suggestions on how I can unblock the sound system without rebooting?
[05:29] <sorin-mihai> DJNeoUbuntu, a *BSD like OS may work as well.
[05:29] <wols> Gustov: a pci bridge is no wlan chip
[05:29] <DozedOnLinux> Gustov:  thats better Gustov
[05:29] <Gustov> [KT133/KM133 AGP]
[05:29] <wols> Gustov: but my condolences for having to use Via
[05:29] <Gustov> lol I got my laptop next to me now
[05:29] <Gustov> much easier
[05:30] <evo> wols: holy crap. i think youre right
[05:30] <DozedOnLinux> Gustov:  that is, if wols was looking for PCI -Bridge
[05:30] <wols> evo: I usually are. remember, I'm a god
[05:30] <my_haz> Dodger: I never had that problem until i installed Hardy. It doesn't happen in Dapper or Feisty, i don't think this has been fixed in hardy yet.
[05:30] <Gustov> host bridge?
[05:30] <legend2440> jsjones: so the ATI drivers are enabled in   System>Admin>Hardware Drivers?
[05:30] <Cylinder1024> restart sound daemon?
[05:30] <LOWER_CASE> Anyone know where the CD burn speed setting is in Nautilus?
[05:30] <wols> Gustov: you are looking for network chips. nothing else
[05:30] <Mecha25> evo:.... you know, I hate when that happens.
[05:31] <Kernel> i cant seem to find a screen capture program capable of recording my desktop while i try to play a game in wine...it records until the game starts...then its just a black screen where the game screen should be
[05:31] <jsjones> legend2440: yes
[05:31] <scribawf> Where do I obtain mount privileges on a device?
[05:31] <wols> jsjones: do you have a GUI? e.g. is it using VESA or fglrx?
[05:31] <wols> scribawf: sudo
[05:31] <my_haz> Kernel: did you try xvidcap?
[05:31] <scribawf> wols; Tnx
[05:31] <Kernel> my_haz: yea. xvidcap istanbull cand capturemydesktop
[05:31] <Prez00> running hardy and everything works beautifully, except the video on movie player, it looks grainy, using mplayer, while useing X11, Gl or GL2 there ir no prob, but the mplayer plugin in firefox also displays grainy image
[05:31] <wols> jsjones: or is X barfing when you try to start it?
[05:31] <sorin-mihai> LOWER_CASE, /apps/nautilus-cd-burner in gconf-editor?
[05:31] <jsjones> wols: gnome is working fine, using fglrx
[05:31] <Kernel> *and
[05:32] <legend2440> jsjones:   does      fglrxinfo     say ATI or mesa?
[05:32] <evo> test
[05:32] <dexikiix> evo i see you :)
[05:32] <wols> jsjones: glxinfo then .pastebin the result
[05:32] <wols> !test
[05:32] <ubot3> Failed!
[05:32] <dexikiix> ok wols i got the .deb
[05:32] <Mecha25> hahahahahaha
[05:32] <wols> evo: that's how you test :)
[05:32] <wols> dexikiix: all 3?
[05:32] <jsjones> hold on one sec
[05:32] <DozedOnLinux> Gustov:  Network / Ethernet / Wireless   things like that try > sudo lshw -C network
[05:32] <my_haz> Kernel: not sure
[05:32] <sorin-mihai> LOWER_CASE, there is a "default_speed 0" key. i think that is what you look for.
[05:33] <DozedOnLinux> Gustov:   that will narrow it down to just network
[05:33] <dexikiix> i only saw one
[05:33] <Prez00> I am using i915 driver for Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960
[05:33] <dexikiix> ...
[05:33] <dexikiix> ndisgtk_0.8.3-1_i386.deb
[05:33] <Kernel> my_haz: yea me neither...they all worked fine for just recording my desktop..but i was looking to make a few videos of my playing windows games in linux to show to friends...
[05:33] <evo> wols: i accidentally unplugged the wrong cable in the mess of wires behind the server...
[05:34] <DozedOnLinux> Gustov:   basically needs something to identify with the chip your network card is using so as to get the correct driver if need be. some cards are blacklisted, in which they will not work unless you take them off.
[05:34] <wols> dexikiix: that's nice but I told you to download 3 of the 4 packages listed on that page I gave you
[05:34] <Mecha25> evo: God bless you man, that must feel awful
[05:34] <LOWER_CASE> gotta go, will look into it
[05:34] <Mecha25> Kernel: have you tried playing the games in non-fullscreen mode?
[05:34] <dexikiix> ohk
[05:34] <DozedOnLinux> Gustov: without that information its like pick a single 4 leaf clover out of a pile of 10 million, hardly a chance to get the correct one
[05:34] <Kernel> Mecha25: yea. im playing in "windowed" mode
[05:35] <dexikiix> i must have missedit
[05:35] <Mecha25> Kernel: have you tried turning off Compiz?
[05:35] <skrag> mecha25: well i guess ill just keep screwing with the settings for jack, by configuration pane you mean clicking setup when you start jack control
[05:35] <dexikiix> ndisgtk, ndiswrapper-common, and utils?
[05:35] <Kernel> Mecha25: i dont use compiz
[05:35] <Mecha25> skrag: yep, and good luck
[05:35] <wols> dexikiix: yes
[05:35] <DozedOnLinux> Gustov: wols asked you that for a reason, if you want assistance, you need to supply the information they need, otherwise its a shot in the dark
[05:35] <dexikiix> sry
[05:35] <Mecha25> Kernel: odd... I don't do screen-recording stuff, but you can always just do printscreen
[05:35] <Kernel> Mecha25: do i still have to disable something...even though i dont use compiz?
[05:36] <Prez00> anyone else with grainy image on movie player?
[05:36] <Gustov> went to network.. ethernet wasn't there... I think fiesty fawn was designed differently
[05:36] <Gustov> let me try that command
[05:36] <wols> Gustov: lspci -nn tells you everything you need to know in one small screen
[05:36] <Mecha25> Gustov:  how are you on IRC? another computer?
[05:36] <evo> yeah Mecha25: it does.
[05:37] <wols> Gustov: pastebin the output of lspci -nn and we can see which chip it is ourselves
[05:37] <Gymp> Anybody know a program that query's the firmware of a dvddrive in linux gui or console app
[05:37] <Gymp> ?
[05:37]  * Mecha25 pats evo on the back.  at least it work snow
[05:37] <wols> Gymp: try lshw
[05:37] <wols> usually the kernel tells you firmware versions
[05:37] <Mecha25> wols: did you write linux or something?  how do you know all this stuff?
[05:37] <Gymp> thanks wols
[05:37] <Mecha25> I'm impressed
[05:38] <debian_akroyd> lol mecha25
[05:38] <Gustov> another computer, yes
[05:38] <Gymp> now you know of any flashers for firmware :P
[05:38] <evo> yeah. i unplugged the cable from my xbox360(which had a dedicated nic in my server and received an ip through windows ics x.x.0.x), then plugged it into the nix box
[05:38] <Gustov> I understand, sorta a noob to linux
[05:38] <Gustov> so I'm checking all areas
[05:38] <DozedOnLinux> Gustov: playing games with your head ? haha oh geez
[05:38] <debian_akroyd> Mecha25, hes probably linux certified
[05:38] <wols> Gymp: don't exist. firmware flashers are always made by the company building the dvd drive.... and they don't do linux versions
[05:38] <evo> well i was giving it a gateway of 2.1 when it was connected to an 0.x network
[05:38] <wols> at most you get a DOS version you can use via FreeDOS on a CD-RW
[05:39] <DozedOnLinux> Gustov: having fun ? as you havent supplied not one thing wols asked for. not good.
[05:39] <Gustov> ethernet controller?
[05:39] <Mecha25> Gustov: can you download and burn a Hardy Heron CD from that computer, then install it on the broken one?
[05:39] <evo> oh well. layer 1 ftw!!!
[05:39] <dexikiix> wols; got all 3, open with package installer?
[05:39] <legend2440> Gymp: http://binflash.cdfreaks.com/
[05:39] <Gustov> will it erase all previous storage?
[05:39] <Gymp> thanks legend
[05:39] <evo> Im going to brb with more headaches. :D Thanks a ton guys!
[05:39] <wols> dexikiix: sudo dpkg <names of all 3 packages in a row"
[05:39] <Mecha25> evo: np, you're a trooper
[05:39] <wols> dexikiix: either you then have ndisgtk installed, or there is an error. if there is an error, please pastebin the FULL output
[05:40] <wols> dexikiix: filenames of all 3 packages that is
[05:40] <felix-da-catz> For some reason when I am at home all the sudden i cannot access any external servers with SSH.  I don't know what happened all the sudden, but it is frustrating.
[05:40] <dexikiix> sudo dpkg ndisgtk_0.8.3-1_i386.deb ndiswrapper-common_1.50-lubuntu1_all.deb etc... ?
[05:40] <Gustov> what will the ethernet be called?  Ethernet controller?
[05:40] <wols> legend2440: does this binflash work for them all?
[05:40] <K350> Anyone here who has gnome and is comfortable with teh terminal?
[05:40] <wols> Gustov: you have two controllers probably
[05:40] <wols> !anyone | K350
[05:40] <ubot3> K350: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[05:41] <dexikiix> wols with quotes, and file extensions is what i meant to be asking
[05:41] <Gustov> hey, your right
[05:41] <wols> no quotes, with extensions
[05:41] <Gustov> you're*
[05:41] <dexikiix> k ty
[05:41] <Gustov> so which do I take?
[05:41] <Gustov> the first or second
[05:41] <wols> Gustov: both. just tell us
[05:41] <Gustov> I have a marvell and realtek semiconductor
[05:41] <Gustov> okay
[05:41] <Gustov> one sec
[05:42] <wols> Gustov: that's nice but both of these companies make wired and wireless chips
[05:42] <Strider``> hello, can someone tell me how to install gnome on kubuntu with just the live cd
[05:42] <wols> DozedOnLinux: why do you think he is trolling?
[05:42] <wols> DozedOnLinux: and if you PM me one more time unasked I rip you a new one
[05:42] <Gustov> realtek semiconductor co., ltd. trl 8139/8139C+
[05:42] <wols> Gustov: that's wired
[05:43] <K350> I've to know what teh "Run file" applikation name is in gnome if someone could help me
[05:43] <gnomefreak> dolo: wols please be nice and without threats
[05:43] <legend2440> wols: no only   NEC   and    Optiarc   I have a NEC dvd burner and I used binflash to upgrade my firmware. it worked very well
[05:43] <Gustov> then in quotes it says [1010ec:8139
[05:43] <DozedOnLinux> wols: there is no need for violence.
[05:43] <Gustov> oh
[05:43] <Gustov> okay
[05:43] <dexikiix> wols it needs an action
[05:43] <Gustov> so the other
[05:43] <Dodger> Cylinder1024:  I tried "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart" and killing everything in "lsof | grep pcm" and still no sound
[05:43] <dolo> ?
[05:43] <K350> it's a pretty simple thing to check so I'm just looking for someone who has gnome running
[05:43] <wols> dexikiix: what action?
[05:43] <gnomefreak> dolo: are you done pm'ing him?
[05:43] <dexikiix> dpkg: need an action option
[05:44] <wols> Gustov: not dolo, DozedOnLinux
[05:44] <Gustov> okay:  marvell technology group ltd. Marvell W8300 802.11 adapter
[05:44] <wols> gnomefreak: ^^
[05:44] <Gustov> well duh, adapter
[05:44] <Gustov> x_X
[05:44] <DozedOnLinux> wols: i wont comment on such. you can keep that as you are blocked, i deal with noone offensive
[05:44] <wols> dexikiix: dpkg -i
[05:44] <Gustov> the 802.11 should have tipped me off
[05:44]  * wols sighs in relief. another m. gone
[05:44] <Gustov> do you need the rev in paratheses?
[05:45] <wols> yes
[05:45] <dexikiix> lmao forgot to cd to the dir
[05:45] <Gustov> okay here's the rest
[05:45] <dolo> pming who
[05:45] <gnomefreak> damn
[05:45] <wols> dolo: you didn't
[05:45] <ShaunO`work> hey guys, anyone have issues with ipsec vpn maxing out at 20mbit/s ?
[05:45] <gnomefreak> DozedOnLinux: are you done pm'ing wols?
[05:45] <wols> ShaunO`work: could be that your CPU can't encrypt/decrypt any faster
[05:45] <Gustov> [11ab:1fa6] (rev 10)
[05:45] <Gnea> ShaunO`work: sure it's mb and not MB?
[05:45] <DozedOnLinux> gnomefreak: i im'd once as it was off-topic, if that is a crime, you can keep it
[05:46] <dexikiix> wols: ok dpkg is done
[05:46] <wols> Gustov: marvell w8300. use ndiswrapper. install ndisgtk
[05:46] <wols> dexikiix: so now you have it installed
[05:46] <gnomefreak> DozedOnLinux: its nice to ask before pm'ing users, some people hate to be pm'ed for seveal reasons
[05:46] <Gustov> install ndisgtk... is there a link for that?
[05:47] <dexikiix> visually wouldnt i see a difference somewhere, wols?
[05:47] <Gustov> my ubuntu comp has no internet to begin with
[05:47] <Gustov> so downloading is a tad of a problem
[05:47] <wols> look in your menu in X for either a new entry or use in a xterm dpkg -L ndisgtk |grep bin   to see what the binari(es) are called you can call
[05:47] <DozedOnLinux> gnomefreak: i can understand, i truly didnt think it was a problem, but, i dont need to be told i will have my head ripped off, now isnt that a little overboard ?
[05:47] <wols> Gustov: you are here so you have internet.
[05:47] <gnomefreak> DozedOnLinux: i already said something about that to wols
[05:47] <wols> DozedOnLinux: ripping a new one doesn't involve heads
[05:47] <Gustov> lol well, wireless laptop
[05:48] <Gustov> I'm fixing up the desktop
[05:48] <wols> Gustov: said laptop has usb, floppies, CDs. etc
[05:48] <DozedOnLinux> gnomefreak: i meant no harm, nor foul, all i can say
[05:48] <Gustov> diff. comp
[05:48] <Gustov> yeah
[05:48] <Gustov> I can transfer the file over, right?
[05:48] <wols> Gustov: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ndis&searchon=names&suite=hardy&section=all  packages 2 3 and 4
[05:48] <DozedOnLinux> wols: "ripping a new one" is old-school , i know what it means
[05:49] <Dewente> material to read for linux administration
[05:49] <Dewente> i need
[05:49] <DozedOnLinux> wols: i need not explain, continue to help the users that need it, this convo is over
[05:49] <wols> damn. and I was hoping I was in the ignore list. another hope shattered
[05:49] <gnomefreak> DozedOnLinux: wols to continue this please do it in #ubuntu-offtopic or make  achannel for it.
[05:49] <DozedOnLinux> gnomefreak: yes
[05:49] <Gnea> Dewente: for school?
[05:49] <Dewente> Gnea: for learn from home
[05:49] <wols> Dewente: linux admin or ubuntu admin?
[05:50] <Dewente> vols: linux admin in general
[05:50] <Gustov> okay, so I go for the i386?
[05:50] <wols> Gustov: most probably. whatever your installed ubuntu is
[05:50] <dexikiix> wols do i now do ndiswrapper -i mn720.inf?
[05:50] <Gustov> I assume you mean the second, third, and fourth links, right?
[05:50] <dexikiix> or modprobe... or something?
[05:50] <Gustov> I'm on gnome
[05:50] <Gnea> Dewente: http://people.ubuntu.com/~mako/docteam/adminguide/index.html
[05:50] <gnomefreak> who was it with the kubuntu lice cd and wanted to install gnome?
[05:51] <gnomefreak> s/lice/live
[05:51] <wols> Gustov: yes.. all except ndisc6
[05:51] <ShaunO`work> wols, it's a via c7 1.7ghz itx cpu, Gnea, yeah, though the vpn it's getting 20mbit/s(2.2MB/s) and externally 50mbit/s(5.5MB/s)
[05:51] <regeya> when someone by the name 'gnomefreak' asks a question like that, I smell a flamefest coming on...
[05:51] <wols> ShaunO`work: that CPU is kinda slow... is the padlock engine used?
[05:51] <sudobash> Hey I have Compiz Fusion going on a Sony Viao Better than normal Intel Graphics and 1 GB ram... I have VGA plugged up and have dual monitors going but I need to convert it to split screen so i can use the 2 displays separate... I know with Nvidia you have the settings manager but is there such a thing for Intel graphics?
[05:51] <gnomefreak> regeya: i wont allow flame to start. and someone asked and they should beablet o install it from kubuntu cd
[05:52] <Dewente> Gnea: do u have a book ?
[05:52] <Gnea> Dewente: no?
[05:52] <ShaunO`work> wols, not that i know of actually, didnt even know it had it until now
[05:52] <dexikiix> lmao ok this must be the saddest, how do i login as root?
[05:52] <fez_> hello
[05:52] <Gnea> dexikiix: you don't ;)
[05:52] <Dewente> i looking for a goob book about linux administrations
[05:52] <regeya> ok ok gnomefreak :->
[05:52] <wols> dexikiix: you can't. use sudo. as in sudo <command>
[05:52] <Gnea> !sudo | dexikiix
[05:52] <dexter> dexikiix : su root
[05:52] <ubot3> dexikiix: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE)
[05:53] <dexikiix> oh got it
[05:53] <fez_> Is this the general help forum?
[05:53] <Gnea> fez_: for Ubuntu, yes.
[05:53] <wols> fez_: general help for ubuntu, yes
[05:53] <dexikiix> ok i think my driver is installed now
[05:53] <fez_> cool
[05:53] <mariana> #acre
[05:53] <gnomefreak> fez_: this is support for ubuntu
[05:53] <sorin-mihai> gnomefreak, i think he/she quited irc
[05:53] <wols> ...unless I'm busy slobbering at Gnea
[05:53] <gnomefreak> sorin-mihai: thanks
[05:53] <wols> dexikiix: doubtful :)
[05:53] <Gnea> lol
[05:54] <dexikiix> wols yeah i know
[05:54] <fez_> cool
[05:54] <wols> dexikiix: you need a windows driver. ndiswrapper is a tool to use windows drivers in linux
[05:54] <fez_> well I have a prolem with ndiswrapper
[05:54] <dexikiix> mn720.inf
[05:54] <dexikiix> i did sudo ndiswrapper -i mn720.inf
[05:54] <Dewente> Any Recommendation Of A Good Book Of Administration !
[05:54] <fez_> woo.. I see someone has the problem
[05:54] <Gnea> !ndiswrapper
[05:54] <ubot3> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:55] <wols> Dewente: http://tldp.org/LDP/sag/html/index.html
[05:55] <dexikiix> and got back: installing mn720 ... forcing paramter IBSSGMode from 0 to 2
[05:55] <fez_> I have been there.
[05:55] <dexikiix> got that forcing ... twice
[05:55] <sudobash> would 915resolution help maybe?
[05:55] <fez_> the thing is though is that when ever i try to get ndiswrapper to read the .inf... it tells me it can't find the file.
[05:55] <wols> sudobash: supposedly that is obsolete now IIRC
[05:55] <fez_> is there something I need to edit on the terminal?
[05:55] <ari_stress> afternoon all :)
[05:56] <wols> fez_: then maybe it's not there?
[05:56] <fez_> no... its def there.
[05:56] <neeto> I just got a new iphone and I can't get ubuntu to recognize it as a drive. It's not listed in /dev/, I have tried restarting HAL, is there something I'm missing?
[05:56] <sorin-mihai> gnomefreak, Strider`` was asking about installing from live cd... i was wrong. is still here.
[05:56] <fez_> its on the desktop
[05:56] <DozedOnLinux> fez_ : alot of times, users go for the ndiswrapper way, when they dont really have to. most of the time a simple configure of the card is all that is needed.
[05:56] <wols> !iphone
[05:56] <ubot3> Factoid iphone not found
[05:56] <Gustov> okay, I used the flash drive
[05:56] <neeto> lol
[05:56] <neeto> doh
[05:56] <Gustov> put them on ubuntu
[05:56] <fez_> how would I do that then..
[05:56] <wols> fez_: what chip do you have? wlan chip that is
[05:56] <Gustov> now just open the .deb packs?
[05:56] <fez_> its a D600
[05:56] <Gnea> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone
[05:56] <wols> fez_: that is no chip
[05:56] <fez_> on a broadcom 4306
[05:56] <sudobash> so how do you configure split screen in 8.04 with intel?
[05:57] <Gnea> neeto: ^^^
[05:57] <wols> !bcm
[05:57] <ubot3> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:57] <Rohan> hey, i pinged out before. ill repeat my question
[05:57] <dexikiix> wols is there anything i have to do after ndiswrapper -i
[05:57] <neng_hopefull> hy
[05:57] <dexikiix> some type of network reconnect or something?
[05:57] <fez_> yeah its the bcm
[05:57] <sjovan> sudobash: eh, i think it depends more on you card...
[05:58] <wols> dexikiix: iwconfig. if it went well your wlan device shows up there
[05:58] <Rohan> can someone help me to install gnome on kubuntu with just the live cd
[05:58] <sudobash> could you get vm XP to recognize the other monitor and display it?
[05:58] <wols> dexikiix: then you can configure it with gnome network manager for example
[05:58] <dexikiix> not associated with an access point
[05:58] <sudobash> yeah i think so... Intel sucks i know
[05:58] <dexikiix> :(
[05:58] <Gustov> "only one software management tooll is allowed to run at the same time"
[05:58] <wols> Gustov: you already have synaptic or somesuch running
[05:58] <sorin-mihai> Rohan, gnomefreak... :-"
[05:58] <dexikiix> but it does soh wait
[05:58] <sudobash> but do you think VM would be an idea?
[05:59] <Rohan> lol.
[05:59] <sudobash> i have it ready to check
[05:59] <Rohan> well im getting tired of using kde...
[05:59] <fez_> anything?
[05:59] <Gustov> so restart?
[05:59] <wols> sudobash: no. the guest in the VM doesn't see the intel chip anymore
[05:59] <sudobash> i see...
[05:59] <wols> Gustov: no. close the other program
[05:59] <dexikiix> wlan0 is just spewing my network manager config i already had, i dont think it sees my device
[05:59] <wols> dexikiix: wlan0 IS your device
[06:00] <Gustov> doesn't seem to want to
[06:00] <Rohan> sp, can ANYONE answer me please
[06:00] <Rohan> so*
[06:00] <dexikiix> hi rohan
[06:00] <Gustov> I'll just restart
[06:00] <Rohan> hi
[06:00] <Gustov> no bigs
[06:00] <Gnea> !patience | Rohan
[06:00] <ubot3> Rohan: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[06:00] <sudobash> dexikiix modprobe ndiswrapper
[06:00] <wols> Rohan: do you have kubuntu installed on hdd?
[06:00] <dexikiix> thanks sudobash
[06:00] <Rohan> yes @ wols
[06:00] <fez_> when I tried loading the drivers with ndiswrapper, I even changed the directories.... nothing happened.
[06:00] <Rohan> and sorry for the impatience, lol
[06:00] <wols> Rohan: do you have network access in kubuntu?
[06:01] <Rohan> yeah
[06:01] <sudobash> you might have to run that as a startup script... or in one....
[06:01] <wols> Rohan: internet access I mean
[06:01] <Rohan> but i dont want it to install it from the net
[06:01] <Rohan> yes
[06:01] <wols> so just apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[06:01] <Rohan> no, my nets really slow
[06:01] <Rohan> it'll take me ages
[06:01] <sudobash> fez_ sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[06:01] <Rohan> ive the live cd though. can i install gnome from it
[06:01] <wols> Rohan: no other way unless you donwload a ubuntu CD and that will take even longer
[06:01] <sudobash> after you load drivers
[06:01] <fez_> ROhan... go to best buy and buy the cd
[06:01] <fez_> the Ubuntu Cd
[06:01] <dexikiix> FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-genericubuntu/misc/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko): Operation not permitted
[06:01] <Rohan> ive the ubuntu cd...
[06:01] <Dewente> any book for learning linux administration
[06:01] <wols> Rohan: the live ubuntu CD?
[06:01] <DozedOnLinux> fez_ : bcm43xx is on the blacklist >  cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[06:01] <Rohan> yes
[06:01] <wols> Dewente: I gave you a link
[06:02] <wols> Rohan: then you can
[06:02] <Rohan> please tell me how
[06:02] <sjovan> dexikiix: i can se you command or what you are trying to do, but did you forget sudo maby?
[06:02] <Dewente> wols: is not enough
[06:02] <sudobash> so if i have the dual monitor but there is no way with Intel to have Dual Split Screen I guess it was taken out of the xorg.conf file?
[06:02] <wols> Rohan: add the ubuntu live cd to your sources.list and install from there
[06:02] <Rohan> erm
[06:02] <dexikiix> i did with sudo after and it did nothng
[06:02] <arooni_____> top says: 1987196k used,    87468k free,  but gnome-system-monitor shows 800MB are free.  free -m corresponds to this estimate.  (1) why the discrepancy? (2) should i only really rely on free -m to tell me how much free stuff there is?
[06:02] <Rohan> can you give me the commands to do that
[06:02] <Rohan> please?
[06:02] <fez_> say again, the first commands
[06:02] <wols> Rohan: it starts with man sources.list
[06:02] <Gustov> "downloading additional package files"
[06:02] <Rohan> ok
[06:03] <Gustov> wat?
[06:03] <wols> arooni_____: use free, yes
[06:03] <Rohan> isnt there a gui alternative..
[06:03] <fez_> sudo ndiswrapper -l gave me...
[06:03] <Rohan> like synaptic?
[06:03] <fez_> bcmwl5 driver installed
[06:03] <fez_> but the thing is that my card still doesn't detect.
[06:03] <wols> Rohan: first you have to show apt (or synaptic) that you have another repo on the ubuntu cd
[06:03] <godmode117> is anyone else here using xchat? (not gnome-xchat)
[06:03] <sjovan> dexikiix: so you didn't get an output? then it prob. did what the command supose to do
[06:03] <Gustov> ugh, it wants to download
[06:03] <Rohan> i think i already added the cd to the sources
[06:03] <Gustov> when I have no internet
[06:03] <Gustov> for the wireless card
[06:03] <wols> fez_: pastebin your syslog file
[06:04] <fez_> how do i get that?
[06:04] <Rohan> now please tell me which package i should install
[06:04] <DozedOnLinux> godmode117:  i have it, and use it once in a while, what seems to be the issue ?
[06:04] <Rohan> is it just gnome or ubuntu-desktop
[06:04] <sjovan> dexikiix: maby it would be smart to go to www.pastebin.com and show us what you are trying to do?
[06:04] <sudobash> fez did you try: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[06:04] <dexikiix> sjovan thanks
[06:04] <godmode117> DozedOnLinux: its using a huge amount of memory
[06:04] <sudobash> ???
[06:04] <wols> Rohan: ubuntu-desktop. but it won't work until you edit the sources.list to make your ubuntu cd known to your apt
[06:04] <dexikiix> sjovan, wols knows what im trying to do
[06:04] <Rohan> oh!
[06:04] <Rohan> okay, ill try that
[06:04] <Rohan> thanks a lot
[06:04] <Rat409> fez_: maybe try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4808350
[06:04] <fez_> I typed it

[06:05] <DozedOnLinux> godmode117: nrn
[06:05] <sudobash> yeah now restart fez

[06:05] <Gustov> I thinki the two files it's trying to download.... are the ones saved
[06:05] <fez_> I brb then
[06:05] <sudobash> if you completed sudo modprobe ndiswrapper then restart
[06:05] <godmode117> DozedOnLinux: nrn?
[06:05] <sorin-mihai> Rohan, remeber that you need Ubuntu CD (live or alternate is the same) not Kubuntu one.
[06:05] <Gustov> but I can't exactly feed it those, can I?
[06:05] <jigp> wols : and i will just browse it to the second pc right and paste it there? :)
[06:05] <Rohan> yeah, thanks

[06:09] <wols> gnomefreak: I have the guy who asked the ubuntu/kubuntu question. wanna answer?
[06:09] <timothywcrane> this may sound wierd,but I am not used to windows at all. Is there a place speccifically for dll files?

[06:10] <Rohan> can i pm someone about this
[06:10] <wols> jsjones: no clue but you can install it explicitly right now
[06:10] <Rohan> i just need the command
[06:10] <gnomefreak> wols: tell him to see if he can install ubuntu-desktop from his live cd
[06:10] <binasco> wols: I am new to Linux, where he picked up this information to paste?
[06:10] <DozedOnLinux> Rohan:  so many avoid Synaptic Package Manager, choose Repositories and check the box at the bottom that shows/says CD
[06:10] <sudobash> restarting because it seems that dual monitors is better done automatically at boot

[06:11] <chipbuddy> i'm using 7.10 right now and all the graphics stuff is working great. But earlier when i was using 8.04 i had a really tough time will all the eye candy. Why are things so different between these two versions?
[06:11] <Gustov> Is there a way to just dl the update patch with hardy+
[06:11] <Gustov> ?
[06:11] <wols> dexik: I guess. never used network manager before
[06:11] <wols> Gustov: what update patch?
[06:11] <kernco> binasco: Go to www.pastebin.com and paste the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log and then put the link here

[06:12] <dstaley> Hi everyone. Is there a way to use an Ubuntu live CD to access a laptop with a broken keyboard and mouse?
[06:12] <ashraf> اه
[06:12] <gnomefreak> wols: yeah its like cvs or subversion
[06:12] <ashraf> hi
[06:12] <binasco> wols: http://www.paste.la/2584
[06:12] <Gustov> well if I had the internet fiesty fawn would be able to upgrade with a download, no?
[06:12] <gnomefreak> sort of
[06:12] <dexik> wols, ok well i am still not connected, i last did sudo modprobe ndiswrapper and got no output
[06:12] <Gustov> they have an update option
[06:12] <wols> dstaley: if the lappie has a working network and the livecd starts a ssh server: yes
[06:12] <Gustov> so I wonder if it can be manually done with a usb?
[06:12] <wols> dexik: pastbin your syslog file then. it should have messages from ndiswrapper
[06:13] <dstaley> wols: But, the question is, does Ubuntu start an SSH server by default?
[06:13] <legend2440> Rohan: in terminal type   gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list       and uncomment the line that looks like this  deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.04 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20080422.2)]/ hardy main restricted

[06:13] <earthmeLon> Hey guys. Still having trouble with my partition. I have a post here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=877932 . TestDisk is telling me this: "A valid NTFS Boot sector must be present in order to access any data; even if the partition is not bootable." Any suggestions
[06:13] <earthmeLon> Sorry about that spam. Didnt realize it did that >_<
[06:14] <jigp> is there any shortcut keys to open the home folder?
[06:14] <wols> binasco: line 484 and 485
[06:15] <dexik> dude this MP3 player makeshift flashdrive is pretty cool
[06:15] <wols> binasco: don't use auto-select but actually set a resolution in xorg.conf
[06:15] <dunas> If a program suddenly starts killing itself off with segmentation faults out of nowhere, and the only info in the terminal is Segmentation Fault, will uninstalling and reinstalling help? What about uninstalling and reinstalling Ubuntu?
[06:15] <wols> earthmeLon: file -s <device file of partition you want to mount>
[06:16] <Gustov> hmm.. I need to upgrade to hardy
[06:16] <wols> dunas: depends on the program. usually it won't help at all
[06:16] <Gustov> I just worry if I will lose data
[06:16] <dunas> wols, lovely, suddenly Pidgin's segfaulting, I can't diagnose it because it's so inconsistent, and it happened after I shut down Ubuntu with it still running.
