[05:49] <kitche> Shocka311: yeah you using that, go into the repo options then in there there should be a section that has Ubuntu cd check marked just uncheck it and refresh and you should be able to use the net for packages from now on
[05:49] <navaburo> the wiki says to use the gui
[05:49] <n8of9_> SilentDis: okay, i'll give it a shot, leaving 26 and 27
[05:50] <gleesond> mobius: temporary files saved by programs. many make files use it for temp builds files
[05:50] <navaburo> mobius, 2.4MB
[05:50] <SilentDis> n8of9_:  :)  you had that machine for a LONG time, didn't you.  lol
[05:50] <Pie-rate> silentdis: lirc-modules-source? there's no lirc-dev
[05:50] <mobius> gleesond: how large do you think it can get..
[05:50] <mobius> navaburo: thanks
[05:51] <Shocka311> K let me go try that real quick. I've been in there and I didn's see a cd one checked but let me look again
[05:51] <n8of9_> SilentDis: i guess so :) do you know of any way to find the initial install date?
[05:51] <navaburo> so anyone know how to get a vnc server up via ssh?
[05:51] <mobius> gleesond: what is /var (and /var/tmp) for that matter?
[05:51] <gleesond> mobius: not sure
[05:51] <w30> any one have any recommendations for a Ubuntu tv tuner card?
[05:51] <SilentDis> pie-rate:  I'd do a search for lirc-, and see what comes up.  from there, i'd install what sounds like a development library (probably not source), and go from there.
[05:52] <navaburo> w30, happage or something like that
[05:52] <HentaiSushi> T.T
[05:52] <SilentDis> w30:  from my understanding, most of the hauppauge cards work well.  I've been doing some research myself, but that's as far as I've gotten
[05:52] <HentaiSushi> you wanted me to find the graphics card setting, procyon?
[05:52] <navaburo> w30, hauppauge is the name of it
[05:52] <navaburo> check out their HD tuners... very nice indeed
[05:52] <procyon>  HentaiSushi: yeah which driver you wewre using
[05:52] <HentaiSushi> it said ati
[05:52] <Jerry|1> I'm having an odd problem... my XORG log says: ((II) I810(0): direct rendering: Enabled) however glxinfo says (direct rendering: No) any ideas?
[05:52] <HentaiSushi> for driver
[05:52] <SilentDis> brb, washer load off balance, and washer is dancing around the room rofl
[05:52] <HentaiSushi> what does that mean
[05:53] <w30> navaburo, any special model?
[05:53] <Shocka311> is it the one that says "cd disk with ubuntu 6.06"?
[05:53] <procyon> just ati generic?
[05:53] <HentaiSushi> cyea
[05:53] <Pie-rate> SilentDis: gnomeradio - FM-radio tuner for the GNOME desktop
[05:53] <Pie-rate> inputlirc - Zeroconf LIRC daemon using input event devices
[05:53] <Pie-rate> lirc-modules-source - Linux Infra-red Remote Control support (kernel modules)
[05:53] <Pie-rate> lirc-x - Linux Infra-red Remote Control support (X dependent parts)
[05:53] <procyon> cool
[05:53] <HentaiSushi> all it said was ati under driver
[05:53] <HentaiSushi> why?
[05:53] <navaburo> w30, any of their video4linux models
[05:53] <procyon> you need the drivers for your card
[05:53] <HentaiSushi> oh
[05:53] <HentaiSushi> you can help me??!?!!??! <3
[05:54] <SilentDis> that was impressive.  it made it halfway out from it's cubbyhole that time!  lmao
[05:54] <Shocka311> Kitche: is it the one that says "cd disk with ubuntu 6.06"?
[05:54] <navaburo> w30, http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/prods_hvr.html
[05:54] <n8of9_> w30: hoePAj
[05:54] <SilentDis> w30:  in a thick german accent, i believe.  rofl
[05:54] <navaburo> i would reccomend the ones with the MPEG encoders built in
[05:55] <navaburo> they save LOTS of cpu time
[05:55] <procyon> HentaiSushi: Since I dont have that card I would just end up searching for the driver myself. which you are capable of doing. I've seen threads in the ubuntu forums of people who have had the same issue
[05:55] <Pie-rate> SilentDis: any ideas?
[05:55] <n8of9_> anyone know a command to show the original install date of my system?
[05:55] <kitche> Shocka311: hmm yeah you on dapper?
[05:55] <HentaiSushi> ok, but how do i get the driver?
[05:55] <Shocka311> yep
[05:55] <HentaiSushi> do i download it on windows?
[05:55] <ddaemon> I'm signing up for launchpad and I'm trying to register my gpg keys.  Can someone explain how I use --send-keys to get my keys to a key server and where I can find the key-id?

[05:58] <HentaiSushi> so how do i install the driver with linux without the gui
[05:58] <HentaiSushi> i konw
[05:58] <procyon> apt-get
[05:58] <navaburo> n8of9_, that will show any files modified in november
[05:58] <Pie-rate> SilentDis: it looks like i need the lirc_streamzap kernel module
[05:58] <procyon> i just dont know the location
[05:58] <n8of9_> right...
[05:58] <HentaiSushi> damn
[05:58] <HentaiSushi> sorry guys
[05:58] <HentaiSushi> procyon: join #helpsushi

[05:59] <ozzloy> bimberi: how do i make that the default on all gnome-terminals?
[05:59] <Pie-rate> SilentDis: but the version of lirc in the repo wasn't compiled with ./configure --with-driver=streamzap
[05:59] <ddaemon> I'm signing up for launchpad and I'm trying to register my gpg keys.  Can someone explain how I use --send-keys to get my keys to a key server and where I can find the key-id?
[05:59] <sw33t> can i get help?
[05:59] <n8of9_> navaburo: i'm afraid i don't see where you're going with this...
[05:59] <navaburo> well it's strange that your root directory was modified 12 days ago
[05:59] <SilentDis> pie-rate:  it sounds like you'll have to build lirc yourself... ugh.  :(
[06:00] <Shocka311> kitche: what does all that mean? sorry, I have no idea what any of this means, I'm a beginner.
[06:00] <ozzloy> and how do i do a test console beep?
[06:00] <kitche> ddaemon: just do gpg --send-keys and it will send it to the server your public key it usualy uses the mit server by default and to get your key-id you can do gpg -list-keys or soemthing close tot hat man gpg will tell you more
[06:00] <n8of9_> sw33t: by Dualsystem, do you mean like linux/windows on the same box?
[06:00] <SilentDis> pie-rate:  check that page, and see if they have a 'support group' or something.  I don't know enough about that hardware to be of much more help :(
[06:00] <calamari> ozzloy: echo <Ctrl-G>
[06:00] <calamari> or just Ctrl-G
[06:00] <kitche> Shocka311: makes it so you don't need the cd for certain packages it will grab the packages off the package mirror
[06:00] <navaburo> try looking at files in /usr/sbin that should not have been modified since the system was installed
[06:00] <ddaemon> kitche, thanks
[06:00] <ddaemon> i will try that
[06:00] <SilentDis> grrr... stupid firefox.  brb all, i have to restart gdm
[06:00] <bimberi> ozzloy: try putting it in ~/.bashrc as part of the bit where it tests to see if it's an xterm running
[06:01] <peirce142> I'm having trouble with sharing my folders with my windows box, I installed Samba, and that seems to have only made it worse.
[06:01] <Shocka311> cool i'll try that, thanks
[06:02] <navaburo> n8of9_, on second thought don't listen to me, i have files in their from 05. apparently the dates are from the origional builds
[06:02] <n8of9_> navaburo: my thoughts exactly... clever idea, though
[06:02] <Pie-rate> SilentDis:  apt-get source lirc will get me 0.8.0 source code right?
[06:03] <DSG7777> This is a really odd issue, but I recently switched my icons to the OSX theme, and now all of a sudden when I get to the login screen, as soon as I type any character it crashes and says "The greeter has crashed, opening new greeter" or something similar, but that greeter crashes as soon as I type in a single character. anyone have any idea qhats going on? I cant even log on to change my settings around.

[06:21] <mohlertm> Kitche: okay, if i don't want one, then how do I access a file off of my network drive?  Like I said, I keep it all in one place (namely the a hard drive on my xp machine) and I would like it to stay centralized.
[06:21] <pdiddy_79> 1 min
[06:21] <noob> peircel42: Ty
[06:21] <Zoss> pdiddy_79: typing*
[06:21] <pdiddy_79> am checking it now
[06:21] <TangBaBa> Hey ya all. I was wondering if anyone could give me a link for a walkthrough on how to setup XFCE on Ubuntu?
[06:21] <Jordan_U> pdiddy_79: Has it always done this or is it a new problem?
[06:21] <kkerwin> schmidtel: It should ask you for your password. Make sure that you type that in.
[06:21] <Synaptic> peirce142: did you call me? ;-)
[06:22] <schmidtel> so ok, its says i got alrealy the new version
[06:22] <swejn_> TangBaBa, there is a package called xubuntu
[06:22] <Jordan_U> TangBaBa: sudo apt-get install xfce4 or xubuntu-desktop
[06:22] <kkerwin> schmidtel: Wonderful!
[06:22] <kitche> mohlertm: hmm well not sure without a stream server really
[06:22] <schmidtel> and now?
[06:22] <TangBaBa> Thanks!
[06:22] <kkerwin> schmidtel: OK. Which webbrowser are you using?
[06:22] <schmidtel> the standart, Morzilla
[06:22] <Jordan_U> When I try to hybernate with even only a few applications open I get an error that I don't have enough memory to hybernate but I have 2 GIG of swap and ~ 50 GIG free on disk?
[06:22] <TangBaBa> Jordan- can I use Synaptic to get the xfce package?
[06:23] <kkerwin> schmidtel: Ok. Try starting mozilla, and try visiting a page that has java on it.
[06:23] <Jordan_U> TangBaBa: Yes.
[06:23] <TangBaBa> Excellent- thanks!
[06:23] <Synaptic> Yes TangBaBa  you can use me to get Xfce
[06:23] <schmidtel> yea, and it says: klick here to download java
[06:23] <Synaptic> yes use me baby, use me good
[06:23] <yairgo> whats the fstab line look like for mounting a ntfs file system, i have this, "/dev/sda1    /mnt/Windows   ntfs    rw, auto, user     0     0"
[06:23] <kkerwin> schmidtel: You should already have java installed. That's what we just did.
[06:23] <swejn_> schmidtel, type about:plugins ins your adressebar
[06:24] <swejn_> -s
[06:24] <pdiddy_79> zoss: its 60g HD, 512 RAM, pretty new...and its freezing again :(

[06:24] <n8of9> peirce142: ok, two things: 1> under Authentication, 'security = user' should be unchecked
[06:25] <schmidtel> now iam on winload.de
[06:25] <n8of9> peirce142: 2> you have no shares set up from your linux box, but you were just trying to see windows shares, right?
[06:25] <schmidtel> when i type "plugins"
[06:25] <swejn_> schmidtel, you might need to set a link in your plugins directory yourself but I don't think so
[06:25] <swejn_> schmidtel, "about:plugins"
[06:25] <peirce142> n8of9: so remove the ';' from the Security = user line?
[06:25] <schmidtel> ah sry
[06:25] <swejn_> schmidtel, just like I wrot
[06:25] <n8of9> peirce142: correct
[06:25] <frogzoo> peirce142: which version of doze on the pcs?
[06:25] <n8of9> peirce142: you'll then have to restart the samba service and try again
[06:25] <peirce142> frogzoo: XP Pro
[06:26] <schmidtel> ok it says i dont hjave plugins installed!
[06:26] <schmidtel> what now? :s

[06:27] <kkerwin> swejn_: schmidtel: I have to check out. But it looks like you got it. Thanks again, swejn_.
[06:27] <kkerwin> swejn_: schmidtel: Sorry to cut and run and leave you two hanging.

[06:32] <peirce142> frogzoo: from System->Network Servers->Windows Network from my Ubuntu box
[06:32] <peirce142> noob: you need root access to the machine, you enter the password for root at that prompt
[06:32] <mohlertm> jordan_u:  I am new to linux.  can you tell me what you mean my use "open Network"?
[06:32] <ozzloy> Jordan_U: hah, unfortunately not

[06:38] <frogzoo> peirce142: you could try smb4k
[06:38] <fr500_> !DCC
[06:38] <ubotu> There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit
[06:38] <peirce142> frogzoo: that's going to install all sorts of kdelibs right?
[06:38] <schmidtel> Thank u all
[06:38] <schmidtel> ok i got Synatptic
[06:38] <schmidtel> what now
[06:38] <peirce142> miniman: How'd you fix it?
[06:38] <JulieJulie> Hi, I just made an iso image of Ubuntu 6.10 but at the boot up its not running or is it running when I click on D:\
[06:38] <frogzoo> peirce142: yes most likely
[06:38] <DigitalNinja> Jordan_U: Thanks! It's not compact flash but it's a start
[06:39] <Rookie_> JulieJulie - should work as a bootCD
[06:39] <n8of9> how can i see what process is trying to use my cdrom? dmesg is pouring out end_request IO errors
[06:39] <frogzoo> n8of9: fuser -c /dev/cdrom
[06:39] <Jordan_U> DigitalNinja: I see no reason why it would be any different on any kind of USB drive other than the fact that the compact flash drive might not have an MBR by default, the wiki deals with that problem though.
[06:39] <ozzloy> Jordan_U: you got a macbook then?
[06:40] <swejn_> schmidtel, one moment please, I wonder how I explain that
[06:40] <Jordan_U> ozzloy: Yup, macbook pro
[06:40] <ozzloy> and ubuntu runs swell on that?
[06:40] <JulieJulie> Rookie_ - ive tried a few times
[06:40] <schmidtel> swejn, ok, but my Linux is german nothink found with Mangaemnt or stuff
[06:40] <miniman> peirce142, PM
[06:40] <JulieJulie> Rookie_ - any other sugestions on how I might be able to do that?
[06:40] <DigitalNinja> Jordan_U: I've got a compact flash to IDE connecter. It makes the compact flash look like an IDE drive.
[06:40] <Jordan_U> JulieJulie: You have your BIOS set to boot from CD?
[06:40] <n8of9> frogzoo: excellent! that one seems like it could come in handy frequently...
[06:40] <schmidtel> jemand deutsch?
[06:40] <Jerry|1> How can this GL error be fixed? (Can't open configuration file /etc/drirc: No such file or directory.) .. And is it really a big problem?

[06:41] <JulieJulie> Jordan_U - I did
[06:41] <miniman> k
[06:41] <Rookie_> JulieJulie - your bios is correct? i mean if the label of cd is on the top?
[06:41] <swejn_> schmidtel, yes, du kannst auch in den deutschen Channel gehen Ubuntu-de
[06:41] <JulieJulie> Jordan_U - I just reinstalled windows xp and I didn't change the bios settings from since then

[06:41] <JulieJulie> Rookie_ - maybe I'll try it again to make sure I suppose heh couldnt hurt.
[06:41] <Jordan_U> JulieJulie: What happens when you try? Does Windows just boot or do you see any Ubuntu screen at all?

[06:43] <kkerwin> schmidtel: note the # sign.
[06:44] <JulieJulie> Jordan_U - not to sound stupid or anything but I pretty much put the disk in and then went to Action and then burn image and clicked that one (ubuntu)
[06:44] <Jordan_U> mohlertm: Go to the "file" tab after you go to Open Network Stream, you can also browse to the file from there
[06:45] <Rookie_> JulieJulie - their are ppl who just burning the file and not as a image ;)

[06:50] <abattoir> hello, can someone tell me how i could make sure *no* icons are displayed on my desktop?
[06:50] <swejn_> Manse, maybe it's mounted, so you can't overwrite the filesystem. you should umount it first
[06:50] <ozzloy> fnord5: use rafb.net/paste instead and paste the resulting url in here
[06:50] <ozzloy> fnord5: if the paste is longer than 5 lines
[06:50] <Jordan_U> JulieJulie: That is what a checksum checks, I don't knwo how to do a chacksum in windows though.
[06:50] <fnord5> no i mean cut from the irc window
[06:50] <Manse> but i didn't mount the disk ,i have restart my system
[06:50] <miniman> CTRL + X = CUT

[06:52] <thejapa> miniman: they are here, you just don't see them.
[06:52] <ozzloy> fnord5: no problem.  in return do it for someone else
[06:52] <cntm> Is anyone using xchat?
[06:52] <Jordan_U> JulieJulie: No problem, also, you can always order pressed CD's @ shipit.ubuntu.com for free.
[06:52] <miniman> thejapa, Oh.
[06:52] <JulieJulie> heh wonderful thanks
[06:52] <JulieJulie> Have a good night everyone.
[06:52] <thejapa> Manse: please don't flood.
[06:52] <Jordan_U> miniman: There are OP's here
[06:52] <ozzloy> cntm: i'm not currently but i have in the past
[06:53] <abattoir> miniman: there are people, they take up operator privileges only when needed
[06:53] <miniman> oh
[06:53] <Manse> i'm sorry
[06:53] <cntm> If you know about xchat, can you  tell me how can I set colors to what is appearing in the textbox under my name and also for my name ?
[06:53] <n8of9> cntm: in the prefs window, select the parts which you want to change colors; check the "use text box colors" box
[06:53] <thejapa> Manse: what is the output of mount | grep hdb1
[06:53] <thejapa> Manse: if it returns nothing, hdb1 is not mounted
[06:53] <swejn_> Manse, okay, you better type in what thejapa says
[06:54] <ozzloy> cntm: hold on, i've seen color settings before, but it'll take me a minute to find
[06:54] <Manse> yes ,nothing
[06:54] <swejn_> Manse, it's less to copy ;D
[06:54] <cntm> n8of9: I don't see any such option
[06:54] <frogzoo> miniman: you fix it by adding domain master = Yes, local master = yes, preferred master = yes, os level = 35    ?
[06:54] <Jordan_U> When I try to hybernate with even only a few applications open I get an error that I don't have enough memory to hybernate but I have 2+ GIG of swap and ~ 50 GIG free on disk?
[06:54] <swejn_> Manse, okay, are you sure that your disk was correctly plugged? What says "dmesg" ?
[06:54] <Pie-rate> can't get dvd playback working, here's VLC's output: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38193/
[06:54] <miniman> frogzoo: PM me
[06:54] <n8of9> Settings>Preferences>Interface>Input box>Use the Text box fonts and colors
[06:54] <n8of9> same for User list
[06:55] <shiver> how do you launch the nvidia control application
[06:55] <swejn_> Manse, ah, don't copy it!
[06:55] <ozzloy> cntm: apparently i don't have xchat installed.  are you getting help already from someone else?
[06:55] <thejapa> Manse: and what happens if you enter sudo fdisk -l /dev/hdb| grep hdb1
[06:55] <cntm> no help so far
[06:55] <n8of9> cntm: Settings>Preferences>Interface>Input box>Use the Text box fonts and colors
[06:55] <Toma-> how could i start a vnc session with tightvncserver as another user?
[06:55] <Manse> at the end of the dmesg it said [  573.781386]   hdb: hdb1
[06:55] <n8of9> cntm: same for User list
[06:56] <cntm> oh ok
[06:56] <ozzloy> cntm: it's helpful if you type a name first
[06:56] <shiver> if i have nvidia beta drivers installed, how do i launch the config program?
[06:56] <dudearamadamadin> what can I install to be able to play avi and wmv files?
[06:56] <yakumo> hello anyone familiar with the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:56] <wweasel> !restrictedformats
[06:56] <Manse> it said /dev/hdb1   *           1<PHONE_NUMBER>+  83  Linux
[06:56] <Manse>  but o don't know the meaning
[06:57] <ozzloy> cntm: like this, so it hilights.  i just installed xchat, settings -> preferences -> colors (under interface)
[06:57] <trinkolade> Manse, re, I got kicked. could you put the output of dmesg to paste.ubuntu-nl.org?
[06:57] <cntm> It says "Use the Text box fonts and colors"
[06:57] <thejapa> Manse: it means you partitioned the disk and you mounted it, prolly via hal, so it doesn't show in mount
[06:57] <cntm> but I don't see colors under textbox settings
[06:58] <thejapa> Manse: you should be able to run sudo umount /dev/hdb1
[06:58] <dudearamadamadin> !kd;
[06:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kd; - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:58] <cntm> I see only tint settings, which I have already set to blue which is not appearing
[06:58] <wweasel> I have a question: I have just been using QEMU to toy around, but I would like to mount the hard disk, called "example.img", within Ubuntu. How would I mount this?
[06:58] <n8of9> cntm: the Colors page changes the text box colors
[06:58] <thejapa> Manse: if running umount gives an error, please tell us.
[06:59] <fnord5> ozzloy: fnord@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t iso9660 /home/fnord/iso.iso /media/ISO/
[06:59] <fnord5> mount: /home/fnord/iso.iso is not a block device (maybe try `-o loop'?)
[06:59] <Manse> ok,it said umount: /dev/hdb1 not mounted
[06:59] <cntm> But which code I have to set to blue for the user and for the text? There are numbers from 0 to 31.
[06:59] <yakumo> i try changing the 'nv' to 'nvidia' in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but every time i restart my computer an error mssg appear that my xorg is not configure correctly..
[06:59] <Zafod> Hi! I have device eth0 shown on startup, but have'n present in ifconfig and /dev why can be such a problem?
[06:59] <Pie-rate> VLC won't play DVDs
[07:00] <fnord5> xorg -reconfigure? maybe?i dont rember the comand
[07:00] <thejapa> Manse: well, when did you partition the drive?
[07:00] <Pie-rate> I got this working on my laptop, but VLC is giving me an error that i vaguely remember fixing, mplayer works
[07:00] <Jordan_U> !dvd | Pie-rate
[07:00] <ubotu> Pie-rate: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[07:01] <ozzloy> fnord5: i'm not up on my mnt options, don't do it often.  i could look, but i don't know if i'll be helpful
[07:01] <Pie-rate> jordan_u: thanks, but ubotu needs to die in a fire. i already know about that, having been linked to it at least twice (once due to me whispering it to ubotu)
[07:01] <n8of9> cntm: the 0-31 are available colors for text. don't worry too much about them for now. you're probably most interested in Foreground and Background
[07:01] <Pie-rate> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38193/ is VLC's output
[07:01] <fnord5> if you want to,then sure
[07:01] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate: xine or totem-xine should play it if you have libdvdcss installed, don't know about VLC though.
[07:01] <cntm> I have set both of them to blue but you can see my text color and user name are in gray
[07:02] <n8of9> cntm: usernames can be colored by checking the 'Colored nicknames' box under Text box settings
[07:02] <thejapa> Manse: you should be able to sudo mkfs -t ext2 /dev/hdb1, unless you just partitioned the drive and you didn't reboot.
[07:02] <cntm> oh my user name changed to blue
[07:02] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U I got VLC working on my laptop.
[07:02] <cntm> Now I have to see how to change text color
[07:02] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U I like VLC more than the others due to ease of use and flexibility
[07:02] <n8of9> cntm: you can play with the 0-31 colors to get things just the way you want.. i don't recall which number does what, but a little playing will tell you
[07:02] <ozzloy> fnord5: i don't have an iso, so i can't check right now, but try: mount -o loop -t iso...
[07:04] <peirce142> I need some help with Samba, I can't get access to any of my windows shares
[07:04] <asusathlon> hi anyone on?
[07:04] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate: AFIK VLC should use libdvdcss if you have it installed, How did you install it?
[07:04] <cntm> I am just doing that But there is no color which maps to the color that is being displayed in the text box for my messages. So wondering which color is to be changed..
[07:04] <billybong> anybody here use the "S3 Savage 2k" or "S3 UniChrome 2D/3D" video card in X ?
[07:05] <n8of9> cntm: looks like 14 and/or 30 affect how your text appears to you (doesn't change how it looks to others)
[07:05] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: I just figured out it works without menus. It's a problem with libdvdnav
[07:05] <MSTK> hi all
[07:05] <MSTK> does anyone know of another good browser for linux besides FF?
[07:06] <Jordan_U>  MSTK: konqueror is good.
[07:06] <n8of9> MSTK: konqueror is the first one that comes to mind
[07:06] <cntm> n8of9: ok, I have changed the colors 14 and 30 to blue
[07:06] <MSTK> ah, thanks
[07:06] <n8of9> <-- slow
[07:06] <asusathlon> does anyone know where i can view the log to help me figure out whats stalling my xdvdshrink?
[07:06] <MSTK> I imported all of my extensions from my Windows FF into my Linux and realized that maybe they don't all work.
[07:06] <cntm> Great. Now it is coming in blue. Thanks a lot n8of9!!
[07:06] <fnord5> ozzloy: i got it:fnord@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t iso9660 /home/fnord/iso.iso /media/ISO/ -o loop
[07:06] <MSTK> I think it's like one in a hundred that's causing the few problems
[07:06] <MSTK> but I don't want to individually disable and enable each oen to find out
[07:07] <n8of9> cntm: no problem :)
[07:07] <billybong> anybody?
[07:07] <cntm> n8of9: Are you able to see my text color and my user name in blue?
[07:07] <ironfroggy_LT> is there anything i can use to convert postscript to html?
[07:07] <un_operateur> MSTK, if you are on firefox 2.0 it ought to tell you which ones are compatible and which arent
[07:07] <peirce142> I need some help with Samba, I can't get access to any of my windows shares
[07:07] <ironfroggy_LT> (i want to use Lyx to write my blog entries)
[07:07] <n8of9> cntm: no. those color settings will only affect how you view text
[07:08] <n8of9> cntm: you show up green for me unless you type my name.. then you show up red
[07:08] <frogzoo> MSTK: tools -> addons -> extensions - look for disabled
[07:08] <cntm> n8of9: Then how come I could see your messages and user name in red color?
[07:09] <MSTK> frogzoo - they all work.  just one or two of them cause some problems with flash playback.  I have no idea which ones, so I'm just going to leave it alone
[07:09] <cntm> n8of9: oh ok
[07:09] <frogzoo> peirce142: works for me like this in smb.conf: domain master = Yes, local master = yes, preferred master = yes, os level = 35
[07:09] <fnord5> when you make a bootable cd what files tells the coputer it bootable?
[07:09] <trinkolade> thejapa, does it work?
[07:09] <n8of9> cntm: now i'm hilighted...
[07:09] <n8of9> now i'm not
[07:09] <frogzoo> peirce142: got those from here: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/ref-guide/s1-samba-network-browsing.html
[07:09] <thejapa> trinkolade: it what?
[07:10] <frogzoo> peirce142: that relies on smb becoming master browser, as long as you're ok with that
[07:10] <un_operateur> ironfroggy_LT, does it have to be HTML ?? not text?
[07:10] <ironfroggy_LT> well i would like some formatting
[07:10] <peirce142> frogzoo: what exactly does that mean?
[07:10] <ozzloy> fnord5: mount -o loop -t iso9660 filename.iso /mnt/iso
[07:10] <asusathlon> can someone please tell me where i can find the log to figure out why my xdvdshrink is quitting unexpectedly?
[07:11] <frogzoo> peirce142: just put those master settings in smb.conf & restart
[07:11] <cntm> n8of9: Oh ok. highlighting means typeing the nick name before the message?
[07:11] <fnord5> thanks ozzloy
[07:11] <peirce142> frogzoo: no, i meant what exactly is a "master browseR"
[07:11] <un_operateur> asusathlon, have you tried invoking it from the command line?
[07:11] <buzzed> Failed to fetch http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/dists/breezy/non-free/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found
[07:11] <frogzoo> asusathlon: run it from a terminal? and if that fails, try strace
[07:11] <n8of9> or anywhere in the line, cntm
[07:11] <ozzloy> fnord5: hope that's enough.  i can explain it a little if necessary
[07:11] <frogzoo> peirce142: it's complicated, but google knows
[07:11] <trinkolade> thejapa, Mansa's problem with its partition or whatever. I couldn't follow
[07:11] <thejapa> trinkolade: ah, had to scroll a bit. I don't know, manse went silent.
[07:11] <un_operateur> peirce142, a master browser is a single computer on a network that takes care of names and resources
[07:11] <asusathlon> un_operator i am a newb and dont think i will be able to do it
[07:12] <trinkolade> thejapa, mhmm...k
[07:12] <Manse> sorry ,i went to toilet
[07:12] <un_operateur> asusathlon, -- at a terminal -- xdvd<TAB>
[07:12] <asusathlon> ok thnks ill try it
[07:12] <mohlertm> Anyone: how can i get my network folder (on my xp machine) to show up when I browse for a file on my Edgy machine?
[07:12] <un_operateur> asusathlon, <TAB> means press the TAB key eh -- not type it all out like that :)
[07:13] <yakumo> xorg errors help
[07:13] <joshuajtl> anyone happen to get google earth to run?? I get Google Earth has caught signal 11.
[07:13] <cntm> fine n8of9. I still have one last doubt. The nickname in the left pane has different colors for different users. Are they set by the users or done automatically by the IRC server?
[07:13] <derek_> Hi
[07:13] <derek_> Is ver. 6.10 Edgy?
[07:13] <n8of9> anyone know, off hand, the command to copy files while preserving attributes and dates?
[07:13] <bimberi> derek_: yes
[07:13] <un_operateur> mohlertm, thats like saying -- how do i look for people in shanhai when i do a search for people in new york :)
[07:13] <frogzoo> derek_: no, it's quite stable
[07:13] <n8of9> cntm: that's actually done by your client.
[07:13] <Musashi> wtf
[07:13] <buzzed> trying to upgrade to 6.10 but get error "Failed to fetch http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/dists/breezy/non-free/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found"
[07:14] <Musashi> I GOT IT TO WORK!!!!
[07:14] <RememberPOL> Is there a way to check which packages depend on a package?
[07:14] <bimberi> n8of9: cp -a
[07:14] <un_operateur> buzzed, it means the server is no longer available
[07:14] <asusathlon> un _operateur: it makes no difference and no additional text shows in the terminal
[07:14] <kerwonz> how can i enable the 3d image for a intel video card? i compiled the kernel by hand.
[07:14] <un_operateur> asusathlon, you might find some info in -- gnome-system-log
[07:14] <cntm> n8of9: Cool. Thanks a lot for all the info provided and clearing my doubts !!!
[07:14] <HentaiSushi> ok, i need help
[07:14] <asusathlon> thanks ill check that
[07:15] <n8of9> bimberi: thx; didn't know if that would save dates, too :)
[07:15] <HentaiSushi> i just installed ubuntu 6.10
[07:15] <n8of9> cntm: anytime
[07:15] <HentaiSushi> how do i set up a new user?
[07:15] <HentaiSushi> im still "oem"
[07:15] <HentaiSushi> ?
[07:15] <un_operateur> HentaiSushi, eh? explain
[07:15] <mohlertm> Un_operateur: Let me explain that a little better.  What i mean is, in a windows environment when you got to open a file it will display network places so you can get the file off of another drive on a computer on the network.  How do i do the same thing in Edgy?
[07:15] <HentaiSushi> i just installed ubuntu
[07:15] <HentaiSushi> and the default account it made me use was "oem"
[07:15] <frogzoo> HentaiSushi: 'sudo adduser HentaiSushi'
[07:15] <HentaiSushi> i want to change my user name to something else
[07:15] <HentaiSushi> er
[07:16] <HentaiSushi> i dont want hentaisushi
[07:16] <HentaiSushi> but thanks
[07:16] <bimberi> RememberPOL: apt-cache rdepends package
[07:16] <HentaiSushi> how do i configure it like root privalages and such
[07:16] <buzzed> how do i remove those servers?
[07:16] <Geoffrey2> is there an application I can use to edit what appears in the Places menu, or is there a text file I can modify for that?
[07:16] <RememberPOL> ty
[07:16] <frogzoo> HentaiSushi: chgrp, or add the groups as an adduser option
[07:16] <Manse> thejapa?
[07:16] <thejapa> Manse: yes
[07:16] <un_operateur> mohlertm, err -- you can add a bookmark -- and then enable the side-pane from view -- that'll give you an explorer-kinda look
[07:17] <frogzoo> HentaiSushi: actually, chgrp won't do it
[07:17] <Manse> my system still can't format the disk
[07:17] <peirce142> frogzoo: well, after doing that I still don't see anything in Windows Network
[07:17] <btiffin> mohlertm: look into samba
[07:17] <thejapa> Manse: you didn't reply my last questions.
 Manse: well, when did you partition the drive?
[07:17] <frogzoo> peirce142: open smb://WORKGROUP
 Manse: you should be able to sudo mkfs -t ext2 /dev/hdb1, unless you just partitioned the drive and you didn't reboot.
[07:18] <peirce142> frogzoo: getting an error, The folder contents could not be displayed
[07:18] <frogzoo> peirce142: wait for the icon to change from a file to a server
[07:18] <HentaiSushi> ok
[07:18] <HentaiSushi> whats user ID?
[07:18] <HentaiSushi> can i make mine 1337?
[07:18] <Casan> how do I get sane in ubuntu to recognize and utilize my network scanner in a hp officejet d155 multi-function-device, if at all possible(works fine with printing).
[07:18] <Manse> i have use cfdisk  partitioned the disk,it need reboot?
[07:19] <peirce142> frogzoo: which icon?
[07:19] <thejapa> Manse: you didn't reboot since you partitioned it?
[07:19] <frogzoo> peirce142: try opening it again
[07:19] <n8of9> well, it's been fun. i'm going to start the upgrade to edgy and walk away from my compy
[07:19] <HentaiSushi> lol
[07:19] <HentaiSushi> it takes that long?
[07:19] <n8of9> peirce142: good luck. sorry i couldn't be of more help
[07:19] <peirce142> frogzoo: still the same error
[07:20] <peirce142> thanks n8of9
[07:20] <thejapa> Manse, please use thejapa in your reply so my irc client highlights your reply for me.
[07:20] <HentaiSushi> wtf
[07:20] <n8of9> HentaiSushi: it'll take a while and it's past my bedtime :P
[07:20] <HentaiSushi> oh
[07:20] <HentaiSushi> mine didnt take that long
[07:20] <HentaiSushi> and i just installed it
[07:20] <HentaiSushi> :/
[07:20] <HentaiSushi> now that i have your attention, what is user ID?
[07:20] <n8of9> HentaiSushi: mine might not take long, then, either... we'll see :)
[07:20] <HentaiSushi> hello?
[07:20] <HentaiSushi> :(
[07:20] <mohlertm> un_operateur: if i do the bookmark thing, will it allow me to access the file in the "open file" view of the VLC player?
[07:21] <frogzoo> peirce142: are all your puters set to the same 'WORKGROUP'
[07:21] <peirce142> yep
[07:21] <n8of9> HentaiSushi: in what context?
[07:21] <Manse> thejapa,i partitioned it and reboot my system ,and find it didn't word ,then i partitioned it the second time
[07:21] <HentaiSushi> im making a new user
[07:21] <HentaiSushi> it asks for a user id
[07:21] <HentaiSushi> default was 1000
[07:21] <un_operateur> mohlertm, errm, if you want that kinda of functionality -- you will need to mount the network folder in /mnt or something
[07:21] <thejapa> Manse: but after you partitioned if last, did you reboot?
[07:22] <HentaiSushi> would it matter if i made mine 1337 >.>?
[07:22] <joshuajtl> anyone... google earth?
[07:22] <n8of9> HentaiSushi: typically, you should just leave that alone to avoid potential conflicts
[07:22] <buzzed> what repositories do i use for updating to ?6.10
[07:22] <HentaiSushi> i wanna make it 1337
[07:22] <HentaiSushi> :D
[07:22] <HentaiSushi> there wont be conflicts
[07:22] <n8of9> HentaiSushi: but if you're the only one on the system, that shouldn't really cause problems (as long as you stay away from reserved IDs)
[07:22] <HentaiSushi> ill be the only user on here
[07:22] <HentaiSushi> lol
[07:22] <n8of9> HentaiSushi: knock yourself out, then
[07:22] <Manse> thejapa,Gparted also can't work,no,after the last partitioned i havn't reboot
[07:22] <HentaiSushi> WTF
[07:22] <HentaiSushi> HOW DID HE DO THAT
[07:22] <thejapa> HentaiSushi: stop swearing please.
[07:23] <HentaiSushi> er
[07:23] <HentaiSushi> what
[07:23] <HentaiSushi> how did that guy make upside down text
[07:23] <asusathlon> un-operateur: do you think i need to change my dvd drive to scsi instead of ide cdrom for xdvdshrink?
[07:23] <Jordan_U> buzzed: Just run: sudo update-manager -c
[07:23] <buzzed> ok
[07:23] <thejapa> Manse: after you repartition the drive you must reboot, else it won't recognize the partitions.
[07:23] <un_operateur> mohlertm, example -- sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=tridge,password=foobar //server/share /mnt/server
[07:23] <linuxgoober> can someone please help me with xorg.conf
[07:24] <frogzoo> peirce142: smb://WORKGROUP      ... only 2 /s
[07:24] <Jordan_U> HentaiSushi: Google "unicode"
[07:24] <un_operateur> asusathlon, it should work regardless
[07:24] <Manse> thejapa:ok,i will reboot now ,see you later
[07:24] <thejapa> Manse: i'll be here for some 30 minutes yet.
[07:24] <Madpilot> HentaiSushi, some unicode trick
[07:24] <un_operateur> asusathlon, what you could try doing is reinstalling xdvdshrink
[07:24] <peirce142> frogzoo: that's what i had been doing
[07:25] <n8of9> k, i'm hitting the Upgrade button now and going to bed... see you folks on the other side
[07:25] <asusathlon> un operateur use the same .deb package that i aliened or make a new one?
[07:25] <un_operateur> asusathlon, ahh, you aliened -- thats the problem
[07:25] <un_operateur> asusathlon, please compile it from source to make sure its stable
[07:26] <asusathlon> un_operateur i believe that is beyond my capability
[07:26] <miniman> peirce142, frogzoo, to access my shares I've just been opening the internal IP of the computer.. ex: <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:26] <ozzloy> when i put in a music cd, an application pops up that can rip to disk.  how do i script that so it automatically rips to ogg and flac and then pops out the cd and doesn't prompt or anything?
[07:26] <un_operateur> asusathlon,  its quite easy if you just give it a go -- its definitely not rocket science :)
[07:27] <frogzoo> peirce142: 'smbclient -l //ubunt_server_name'    shows the server as master browser?
[07:27] <ozzloy> like instead of popping up the ripping app, it runs a script
[07:27] <un_operateur> asusathlon, download the source package -- i'll guide you through it
[07:27] <noob> anybody: i cant mount the shared dir of the Windows OS, can somebody help me?
[07:27] <frogzoo> oh miniman has a good point - pierce, add entries for your doze pcs in /etc/hosts
[07:27] <asusathlon> un operateur ok hold on
[07:28] <peirce142> frogzoo: that command doesn't output anything
[07:28] <frogzoo> peirce142: ps aux |grep smb  ; ps aux |grep nmb
[07:29] <max_> anyone use project looking glass?
[07:29] <rajshekhar> good mornig
[07:29] <noob> anybody: i cant mount the shared dir of the Windows OS, can somebody help me?
[07:29] <peirce142> frogzoo: nmbd and smbd are both running
[07:29] <miniman> frogzoo, peirce142: if you go to places > connect to server, then select windows network, then type the internal IP, it will automatically mount it to your desktop :)
[07:31] <asusathlon> un_operateur, can i pm you?
[07:31] <rajshekhar> i open emacs in terminal "Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
[07:31] <rajshekhar> this message appear
[07:31] <un_operateur> asusathlon, you may -- but I prefer if we do it here -- that way other people can interact, help, learn, etc
[07:31] <jay_> [Help] I am trying to build emacs21.3, after "./configure, make, make install", everything is OK, but when i start to launch emacs, it tells: emacs: Cannlt open termcap database file. What is wrong?
[07:32] <asusathlon> un_operateur, ok i downloaded and extracted the src
[07:32] <peirce142> miniman: I'm getting the same error as when i try to navigate to Workgroup, the folder contents cannot be displayed
[07:32] <un_operateur> jay_,  you might be missing a few dependencies, at a terminal -- sudo apt-get build-dep emacs emacs21
[07:32] <mohlertm> un_operateur: So if the following it the network drive i want to access "smb://gaming" how would I bookmark that like you said??
[07:33] <Olodumare> Hello all!  I need some assistance with some device driver issues.
[07:33] <un_operateur> asusathlon, are you at a command line?
[07:33] <asusathlon> yes
[07:33] <PORDO> what do i need to make rhythmbox play vorbis?
[07:33] <PORDO> right now it only plays flac :(
[07:33] <un_operateur> mohlertm, just a sec
[07:33] <mohlertm> k
[07:34] <infer> !fluxbox
[07:34] <ubotu> fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox
[07:34] <miniman> peirce142: Do this: Places -> Connect to Server..Select "windows share"..For "Server:" put the internal IP of the machine you want to access(eg: <IP_ADDRESS>)..Click connect...If its valid, it will create the mount on your desktop
[07:34] <un_operateur> asusathlon, just before we go anywhere- - just looked at the xdvdshrink page on sourceforce -- it seems to me that the package is only available for mandrake
[07:34] <un_operateur> asusathlon, can you confirm for me the name of the file you downloaded
[07:35] <peirce142> miniman: it creates the mount on my desktop, but nautilus can't show me the files for some reason, gives me cannot display the contents of this folder
[07:35] <asusathlon> un operateur dvdshrink-2.6.1-8mdk.src.rpm
[07:35] <jroes> is there any way to prevent the ubuntu livecd from mounting the linux-swap partition on my hard drive?
[07:35] <miniman> peirce142; Hm thats weird.. You might not have it setup correctly on the windows machine.
[07:35] <un_operateur> mohlertm,  ok, navigate to the share you want bookmarked -- and then just add one -- quite simple really :)
[07:36] <peirce142> miniman: it worked perfectly before i installed samba to try to share the linux box
[07:36] <ozzloy> bbiaf
[07:36] <peirce142> miniman: before tonight, i could access my windows share
[07:36] <miniman> Hmm.
[07:36] <un_operateur> asusathlon, yea, thats a mandrake package -- :(  can i suggest you use dvd::rip -- it's quite popular and works
[07:36] <miniman> peirce142: then you installed samba, andit messed it up?
[07:37] <peirce142> yep
[07:37] <miniman> Can you rafb.net/paste your smb.conf file?
[07:37] <asusathlon> un_operateur, ill give it atry but the last time i tried it their gui was very complex
[07:38] <peirce142> miniman: before frogzoo's suggestions: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38192/, after: http://rafb.net/paste/results/K1RlvL29.html
[07:38] <un_operateur> asusathlon, dont let it put you off -- once you figure out how to do it once or twice, it'll be as easy as cake the next times around
[07:39] <frogzoo> peirce142: hey, all care but no responsibility :)
[07:39] <peirce142> frogzoo: not blaming you at all, just showing him both
[07:39] <asusathlon> un_operateur, thanks ill install it and play with it for a bit
[07:40] <miniman> peirce142: Here I will post mine, you can see the differences
[07:40] <kintaro0e> hey guys..i have a new digital camera from kodak...i want to get the from it..using usb to firewire....what application that i need to install to upload those files in my computer?
[07:40] <un_operateur> peirce142, have you tried --  smbclient -U <username> -L localhost ?
[07:41] <un_operateur> peirce142,   smbclient -U <username> -L <machinename>   even
[07:41] <peirce142> un_operateur: im getting a login error
[07:41] <frogzoo> peirce142: try adding "restrict anonymous = 0" under [global]
[07:41] <peirce142> un_operateur: do i have to set up a user?
[07:42] <buzzed> Fetching and installing the upgrades
[07:42] <un_operateur> peirce142, errm, not normally no, you can use your own user credentials
[07:42] <miniman> peirce142: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38194/
[07:42] <peirce142> un_operateur: well, it didn't take my password
[07:43] <un_operateur> peirce142, did it list any shares or other information?
[07:43] <peirce142> un_operateur: it gave me a login error
[07:43] <mohlertm> un_operateur:  I have saved "smb://gaming" as a bookmark but it doesn't show up under places when I click browse from the file open menu in VLC player?  How do I access the file through browse in the VLC player?
[07:44] <andrej> Guys, how do I get a module from the binary nivida (installed from the nvidia package, not the ubuntu one) to "stick"?  Every boot I have to manually insmod the bloody thing
[07:44] <andrej> And what happened to inittab in edgy?
[07:44] <un_operateur> mohlertm, I already said -- the bookmarks you use in nautilus are for nautilus only -- if you want a shared location to be used by all programs you need to mount the network location in a folder
[07:44] <un_operateur> andrej, edgy uses upstart now -- not init
[07:45] <andrej> Thanks un_operateur ... what's the rationale behind that?
[07:45] <mohlertm> un_operateur:  Okay, sorry i wasn't more clear with what I wanted to do.  THat is exactly what I wanted to do.  So, can you tell me how I can mount "smb://gaming" in a folder to be accessed by all programs?
[07:46] <un_operateur> mohlertm, at a terminal -- smbmount --help :)
[07:46] <LineOf7s> Wow - I think I just turned up in the middle of the exact same enquiry I wanted to make.
[07:46] <un_operateur> peirce142, maybe this -- smbclient //server/share -Uname%machinename
[07:47] <un_operateur> andrej, you know -- the usual linux thing, no ones entirely too happy with whats there -- gotta "improve" it :)
[07:48] <un_operateur> andrej, its supposedly faster and definitely more sophisticated -- i'm choosing to stick with init tho -- because upstart would break quite a few things on my machine
[07:48] <peirce142> un_operateur: what should i put in for //server/share?
[07:48] <jpjacobs> andrej,  add it in /etc/modules
[07:48] <un_operateur> peirce142, //localhost/peirce141  if i read your smb.conf right
[07:49] <Olodumare> un_operateur: Can I bend your ear for a bit?
[07:49] <frogzoo> peirce142: sudo smbpasswd peirce142
[07:49] <un_operateur> peirce142, or //$HOSTNAME/peirce141
[07:49] <mohlertm> un_operateur: so type "smbmount/help" into a terminal?  Sorry un_operateur I am very new to linux, so I have to be clear?
[07:49] <un_operateur> Olodumare, I've never come across that idiom before -- as long as it's a good thing, sure :)
[07:50] <un_operateur> mohlertm, smbmount --help   -- not smbmount /help -- this is linux not windows :)
[07:50] <peirce142> frogzoo: there we go, now that got to list the Workgroup
[07:50] <fnord5> !bots
[07:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bots - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:51] <Olodumare> un_operateur: I don't know if it's a good thing!  I'm having some issues with a palm.  When connected and trying to hotsync, it never has the decency to show up in /dev/
[07:51] <fnord5> @chuck
[07:51] <frogzoo> peirce142: fingers crossed, should be all good now
[07:51] <un_operateur> Olodumare, hmm, I dont own a palm, and i dont know how it works on linux -- can i suggest you get a hold of the documentation for the package, device
[07:52] <sarahg> wow lots of people
[07:52] <frogzoo> peirce142: if you can't browse the pcs, you'll need to create the guest account on xp
[07:52] <peirce142> alright frogzoo, thanks a bunch
[07:52] <sail> j #javascript
[07:52] <sarahg> Can anyone recommend laptops to shortlist / avoid for running ubuntu?
[07:53] <sarahg> (I'm probably buying a laptop soon)
[07:54] <frogzoo> peirce142: no worries
[07:54] <derek_> where's the md5sum check for the desktop 6.10 iso?
[07:55] <Si1> Is there a c++ IDE I can get for ubuntu?
[07:55] <un_operateur> Sil, anjuta
[07:55] <mypapit> SilenceGold: anjuta
[07:55] <mypapit> SilenceGold: anjuta
[07:55] <Si1> thanks
[07:55] <un_operateur> derek_,  do you mean the md5 has itself or the utility to check the hash against iso?
[07:55] <sarahg> Si1: There's also kdevelop, but last I checked (a number of years ago) it was fiddly to get working.
[07:55] <derek_> un_operateur: md5 itself
[07:56] <un_operateur> derek_, it's where you downloaded the iso from :)
[07:56] <Hellevator> Anjuta, has the slowest development cycle I have ever seen.  It them a year to go from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2 :-p
[07:56] <derek_> it's not there un_operateur
[07:56] <derek_> only the ISO
[07:57] <un_operateur> Hellevator, debian has a slow cycle too, as does perl and many other great projects -- its no reflection on the quality of the project
[07:57] <Si1> Um... I'm new to Linux.  How exactly do I install Anjuta?
[07:57] <un_operateur> derek_, whats the exact name of the file you downloaded?
[07:57] <un_operateur> Sil,  at a terminal -- sudo aptitude install anjuta
[07:58] <sarahg> There's also a graphical installer which might be easier. Synaptic Package Manager
[07:58] <sarahg> That's in one of the adminy sounding menus
[07:58] <miniman> How is ubuntu supposed to be pronounced?
[07:58] <ryan444> hi everyone.
[07:58] <jmiller565> hello
[07:58] <un_operateur> oo-boon-too
[07:58] <ryan444> i was wondering if someone could help me out for a quick minute.
[07:59] <ryan444> it involves getting my .iso file running.
[07:59] <Si1> so it's installing everything I need?  Just from typing install anjuta?
[07:59] <bradley_> i tried to make vlc the default app for opening movies but i get this warning: 'Could not add application to the application database' how do i fix this?
[07:59] <jmiller565> imgburn works
[07:59] <un_operateur> Sil, hopefully yes
[07:59] <Si1> that's simple
[07:59] <andrej> jpjacobs - I did.  No show.  I added the insmod line to rc.local as well
[07:59] <Hellevator> Sil, you'll probably need build-essential
[07:59] <Si1> what?
[07:59] <andrej> Still no show
[08:00] <jmiller565> for the .iso file use ImgBurn, Ryan444
[08:00] <un_operateur> Hellevator, he isnt building anything from source, is he?
[08:00] <ryan444> i have downloaded Draker Dape but no go. The hash was incorrect on 3 seperate downloads on 3 seperate mirrors.
[08:00] <ryan444> I used imgburn
[08:00] <sarahg> Si1: usually that's all that's needed; the installer program will fetch anything that the program you're installing depends on.
[08:00] <Si1> cool
[08:00] <ryan444> But my computer is not booting it up.
[08:00] <ryan444> However, the bios are set to boot cd's first
[08:00] <jmiller565> oh ok did you make it bootable?
[08:00] <Hellevator> un_operateur, but doesn't he need gcc to compile his cpp programs?
[08:00] <ryan444> tried on 2 machines
[08:00] <ryan444> Yep.
[08:00] <frogzoo> ryan444: d/l using bit torrent will give you a more reliable image
[08:01] <ryan444> and will that give me viruses?
[08:01] <un_operateur> Hellevator, gcc and g++ are depends for anjuta AFAIK
[08:01] <jmiller565> soz Ryan i don't know anything else. soz
[08:01] <frogzoo> ryan444: however, your network is a worry, you should fix
[08:01] <ryan444> network?
[08:01] <ryan444> oh sorry.
[08:01] <ryan444> I am being rather blunt here its 2 A.M.
[08:01] <ryan444> I will try bit torrent right now.
[08:02] <frogzoo> ryan444: errors in d/s should be a 1/E9 experience
[08:02] <cpuobsessed> which channel is for Feisty Fawn?
[08:02] <frogzoo> ryan444: check for errors on your nic - & set 10/100 HD/FD properly
[08:02] <frogzoo> cpuobsessed: #ubuntu+1
[08:02] <jmiller565> BRB
[08:02] <cpuobsessed> thanks
[08:03] <andrej> How do I "unmark" packages marked for deletion again?  I have a couple of things I tried to delete that would remove all of KDE if it went through.  It failed because of dependency problems
[08:03] <ryan444> ok guys could you please be more specific.
[08:03] <ryan444> I am good at this stuff but i ahve never used irc before.
[08:03] <ryan444> and didn't really want to but meh.
[08:04] <un_operateur> andrej, is this in synaptic?
[08:04] <andrej> dselect
[08:04] <frogzoo> andrej: edit -> unmark all
[08:04] <redDEADresolve> im having a login screen resolution problem. any help?
[08:05] <frogzoo> !fixres | redDEADresolve
[08:05] <ubotu> redDEADresolve: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[08:05] <luke_> ketche:  still around?  :)
[08:05] <andrej> frogzoo - there's no edit in dselect?
[08:06] <sarahg> Anyone running ubuntu on a thinkpad? Does it run well there? Is it hard to set up?
[08:06] <jay_> un_operateur, but I cann't "apt-get install termcap_compact". Is there other way to get through it?
[08:06] <redDEADresolve> i've tried the automated response howto but its not working
[08:06] <strabes> sarahg: thinkpads are quite popular among linux users i believe
[08:06] <ryan444> i am downloading it via bit torrent now.
[08:06] <ryan444> Hopefully this will work.
[08:07] <luke_> anyone had any trouble sharing folders across a LAN with Vista?  I think I have everything set up correctly, but it keeps prompting for a username/password that doesn't exist
[08:07] <andrej> sarahg - I'm running it on an R60, and so far I'm unimpressed :)
[08:07] <frogzoo> andrej: oh kde, dunno
[08:07] <sarahg> strabes: yeah that's the impression I get.
[08:07] <sarahg> Is R60 a kind of thinkpad?
[08:07] <andrej> frogzoo - dselect has nothing to do with KDE :)
[08:07] <andrej> sarahg : yes
[08:07] <mohlertm> Un_operateur:  I am sorry for bugging you.....i am just so new.  the smbmount --help was foreign to me :-(  I didn't understand a thing it told me.  Can you help me out and tell me the command line I would put inside a terminal to mount my network drive with the following address "smb://gaming"?
[08:07] <frogzoo> luke_: do you have a 'guest' account on the doze box?
[08:07] <un_operateur> jay_,   sudo apt-get build-dep emacs emacs21
[08:08] <Si1> anjuta is giving me an error when I try to compile it.  I made a test file, tried to include iostream, but it says "no such file or directory"
[08:08] <sarahg> andrej: ok. I gather setup is a pain on laptops generally.
[08:08] <luke_> frogzoo: nope.  Seems to work just fine with my XP Pro computer, but Vista and Ubuntu don't seem to be playing nice
[08:08] <frogzoo> luke_: also it's unclear which end your're serving files from
[08:08] <sarahg> Si1: do you have gcc installed?
[08:08] <andrej> sarahg: the install was a breeze (when one ignores that I didn't get prompted for a network setup, and it just assumed I'd be using dhcp).
[08:09] <redDEADresolve> froguz i've tried the howto, 1600x1080 isn't anywhere in my xorg file but its still outputing 1680x1080 at the startup screen
[08:09] <andrej> I don't like ubuntus inne works, that's all
[08:09] <andrej> inner even
[08:09] <luke_> frogzoo: currently I'm trying to access visto from Efft, but I am pretty sure I had trouble going the other way too, my bro is at the Vista computer I'll ask him if he can see me
[08:09] <frogzoo> redDEADresolve: sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf & remove the unwanted res
[08:09] <trinkolade> luke_, I read that they have changed the protocoll somehow in Vista, so that smb cannot access the vista machine
[08:09] <un_operateur> mohlertm, ok -- no worries --  just substitute your values here -->  mount -t smbfs -o username=username,password=password //othercompname/share ~/netfolder
[08:09] <sarahg> oh, ok. I've been using ubuntu on the desktop for a couple of years and I'm about as happy as I was with SuSE but spending much less keeping up to date.
[08:09] <Si1> in the error window thing, it says "gcc      -c"test.c" -o"test.o"
[08:10] <redDEADresolve> frogzoo its nowhere in my xorg file thats whats so weird
[08:10] <andrej> I've been using for a few months after years of slackware, and can't stand it ;}
[08:10] <luke_> trinkolade:  yeah that's what I figured.   Ubuntu does attempt to be "user friendly" which can mean making assumptions to avoid putting the user on the spot with questions etc
[08:11] <un_operateur> Sil, you probably need to install the standard C libraries -- sudo aptitude install build-essential
[08:11] <andrej> Things are so complicated if I need something that hasn't been already built in, I just never know where to begin;  there's such a lack of simplicity due tothe ease of use
[08:11] <luke_> trinkolade:  np. yay for flash drives :).   Thanks!
[08:11] <ryan444> I thought bit torrent was horribly slow...at least used to be.
[08:11] <ryan444> But working quite fine.
[08:11] <sarahg> ok, ok. I haven't had any trouble compiling up programs for /usr/local so far
[08:11] <un_operateur> sarahg, ubuntu is not windows eh .. if you use ubuntu, you have to start thinking differently to how windows conditioned you
[08:12] <Si1> my bad, i had made a c file instead of c++
[08:12] <andrej> un_operateur ... and there was me thinking ubuntu was trying to be thewindows amongst the Linux distros
[08:12] <trinkolade> luke_, np ;)
[08:13] <un_operateur> sarahg, ubuntu itself is quite structured and easy to get around -- the same does not apply to all the software that it runs tho, thats beyond ubuntu itself
[08:13] <ryan444> The hash is still wrong.
[08:13] <ryan444> Damn.
[08:13] <sarahg> un_operateur: my point was there's a "simple to use" vs "lots of flexability" tradeoff and Ubuntu leans towards the "easy to use" side about as much as linuxes do.
[08:13] <ryan444> If the hash is the wrong the file will not work period correct?
[08:13] <nia_c> hi all
[08:13] <ryan444> hi
[08:13] <Si1> now it's saying sh: g++: command not found when I compile, but I'm pretty sure g++ is installed.  Help?
[08:13] <sharp15> i know i've been in and out of here on this issue all night. sorry.
[08:13] <nia_c> ryan444?
[08:14] <un_operateur> andrej, ubuntu tries to be easy - not to be windows -- i think theres a marked difference there
[08:14] <sarahg> apt-get install g++  seems worth a try :)
[08:14] <strabes> is there a mouse-mirroring program for linux? i'm trying to make one of these crazy soap devices
[08:14] <ryan444> Hmmm.
[08:14] <ryan444> Damn
[08:14] <strabes> or could I somehow change the sensitivity to negative in xorg.conf or something
[08:14] <Si1> sarahg k ill try it
[08:14] <sharp15> does anyone here know if proftpd is prone to immediately shutting itsellf off without an error message? or did the package maintainter intentionally compile v1.3.0 without IPv4 support?
[08:15] <nia_c> r u all ok?
[08:15] <andrej> un_operateur - it hides detail, just like windows;  it may not be doing it to mimick windows intentionally, but it sure heads the same direction
[08:15] <derek_> un_operateur: ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso
[08:16] <un_operateur> andrej, if Linux is about catering to choice (which it is, due to the numerous distributions out there) ubuntu caters to those people who dont really want to get bogged down with detail (as do many windows users)
[08:16] <derek_> and woah, windows shows the size of the ISO as: 715,130 KB
[08:16] <derek_> More than 700 MB???
[08:16] <frogzoo> derek_: yep, that's fine
[08:16] <derek_> ok
[08:16] <derek_> but the CD is only 700 MB
[08:16] <andrej> anyway... for me another 3 frustrating ubuntu hours are over, and I wish for the simplicity of slackware ;}
[08:17] <ryan444> its only 700 MB
[08:17] <ryan444> Just get a DVD
[08:17] <frogzoo> derek_: just burn the iso already
[08:17] <mohlertm> un_operateur:  So I do I know it mounted it?
[08:17] <derek_> ok
[08:17] <ryan444> Its honestly not that expneisve.
[08:17] <sarahg><PHONE_NUMBER>25 MB actually
[08:17] <sarahg> you divide by 1024 :)
[08:17] <derek_> waiting for the MD5 file
[08:17] <Si1> sarahg, now it is compiling succesfully but it won't let me run it, it says there is no executable for this file
[08:17] <andrej> If installing all the mulitmedia stuff from source didn't take so long ubuntu would have long be gone
[08:17] <ryan444> I have been trying to just get mine to work for 3 days.
[08:17] <derek_> un_operateur: ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso
[08:17] <ryan444> Its a combination of things, however my hash never comes out correctly.
[08:17] <andrej> cheers
[08:18] <ryan444> so i gave up on that a while ago.
[08:18] <sarahg> Si1, I've never actually used ajuntu myself so I'm not sure where it puts the executable by default.
[08:18] <un_operateur> derek_, no offence, but  http://www.google.com/search?num=100&complete=1&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso+md5&btnG=Search    :)
[08:18] <frogzoo> ryan444: try burning @ 1/2 the max speed of your writer
[08:18] <sarahg> what was the last command line it ran, do you have it there?
[08:18] <luke_> I'm probably preaching to the choir, but Beryl Rocks :)
[08:18] <Si1> well it made a file that is test.o, but I click it and get an error, does anyone know how ajunta works?
[08:18] <ryan444> huh
[08:19] <ryan444> I'll try.
[08:19] <sarahg> test.o is an object file, but not an executable
[08:19] <ryan444> I have about 6 or 7 dvd's with ubuntu on them.
[08:19] <un_operateur> mohlertm, if the command does not return any errors -- then you know it has worked and you should be able to access the share by browsing the ~/netfolder directory in your home folder
[08:19] <ryan444> any other tips before i burn it agian?
[08:19] <sarahg> compiling typically goes lots of c files -> lots of object files -> one executable or library
[08:20] <DigitalNinja> I'm cramming a bunch of drives in an old compaq. I'm trying to turn it into a server. Is the heat going to be a problem?
[08:20] <sarahg> maybe look for just "test", although be careful there's a system program called testg
[08:20] <sarahg> test
[08:20] <Si1> how do I make an executable? Before, i just hit compile and it made one, albeit it was windows but still
[08:20] <rapid> DigitalNinja, make sure theres plenty of air flow
[08:20] <Si1> there is only test.cc and test.o
[08:20] <sarahg> are there options other than compile?
[08:20] <ryan444> Yeah, keep it ventilated.
[08:20] <sarahg> technically it did compile, it just didn't link
[08:20] <ryan444> I just have one fan on my server.
[08:20] <un_operateur> Sil, you are probably better off doing the compiling at the command line -- cc file.c -o file; chmod +x file; ./file
[08:20] <frogzoo> DigitalNinja: you're better placed to make that judgement
[08:20] <ryan444> Never had it "blow" up.
[08:20] <sarahg> maybe theres an option called "build" or something that does more?
[08:20] <DigitalNinja> rapid: It's an old compaq from 98/99. I may need to add an extra fan or two.
[08:21] <Si1> yeah sorry I should've tried that, there was a build button that I ignored
[08:21] <ryan444> Mine is from 98.
[08:21] <Si1> thanks for your help
[08:21] <sarahg> no worries
[08:21] <DigitalNinja> frogzoo: I'm just wondering what heat will do to the drives/motherobard etc...
[08:21] <ryan444> Shouldn't be too much heat.
[08:21] <ryan444> Fry them.
[08:21] <rapid> DigitalNinja, try to allow sufficient space between drives always rather than clustering them on top of each other
[08:21] <sarahg> build generally refers to the whole thing; compiling, linking and anything else thats needed
[08:21] <frogzoo> DigitalNinja: heat will kill your drives
[08:21] <ryan444> Depends how much work your expecting from them.
[08:22] <ryan444> I am giving this one more try folks
[08:22] <DigitalNinja> frogzoo: In one of my systems the drives were getting HOT. However, everything seemd to run just fine.
[08:22] <refus3d> ZOMG! o4o
[08:22] <rapid> "seemed"
[08:23] <ryan444> i have an option
[08:23] <ryan444> What is the optimal burning speed for ubuntu?
[08:23] <rapid> thats your burners decision
[08:23] <ryan444> lol
[08:24] <ryan444> Yeah, but i can choose the write speed.
[08:24] <ryan444> 8x correct?
[08:24] <rapid> 8x should be sweet.
[08:24] <rapid> though quite slow
[08:24] <rapid> little room for error.
[08:26] <ryan444> alright
[08:26] <ryan444> Thanks rapid.
[08:26] <ryan444> I am gonna try and burn it and then throw it on the windows 98 se in the other room.
[08:27] <mohlertm> un-operateur: when I put the following in a terminal "mount -t smbfs -o username=tommy,password=gracey //gaming/share ~/netfolder" it says that "COULD NOT RESOLVE MOUNT POINT /HOME/TOMMY/NETFOLDER"  Did i do something wrong?
[08:28] <jay_> un_operateur, I got it---whay synaptic package manager doesn't work? ---I must set the HTTP Proxy in Preference, as<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and Port:8080. Then apply the update. Then everything now goes well.
[08:28] <un_operateur> mohlertm, oops -- sorry -- you need to make the folder first -- run this --  mkdir  ~/netfolder
[08:28] <ryan444> let's see what it did.
[08:29] <ryan444> should i be able to see files and folders on the disc correct?
[08:29] <un_operateur> jay_, thats nice -- apt works through proxies -- but other applications are not so clever -- so you're kinda stuck there

[08:33] <frogzoo> ajayme: you upgrade to edgy from dapper?
[08:34] <un_operateur> ajayme,  what does this command say -- echo $LANG
[08:34] <mohlertm> un_operateru: it was while ago, let me check again?  Maybe I should be more clear while i go and check that.  gaming is the name of the xp computer i want to connect to.  "USB - 80" is the drive in the "gaming" xp machine that I want to mount (i am sharing the whole drive on my network).
[08:34] <ajayme>   frogzoo : i install samba then i created folder but i cant access that
[08:35] <un_operateur> mohlertm, ahh -- ok -- first off -- share that drive on the XP computer with a name that has no spaces -- something like "games" -- second off, reflect that in the command -- mount -t smbfs -o username=tommy,password=gracey //gaming/games ~/netfolder
[08:36] <ajayme> frogzoo : i install samba ,then i created folder but i cant access that
[08:36] <un_operateur> ajayme, what has emacs got to do with samba, and vice versa?

[08:52] <GreyGhost> "root (hd0,00 Filesystem type unknown " did i read that correctly? is there a typo there?
[08:52] <musashi> GreyGhost: the file was empty

[08:57] <mohlertm> un_operateur:  are you still there? Did you get my earlier message?
[08:58] <FunnyLookinHat> ajayme, well, if you are accessing stuff on another windows computer from your own, the easiest way is to go to Places - Connect to Server, and put in the other computers IP address and select windows share from the pulldown
[08:58] <Geoffrey2> oh, repeating an earlier question, is there any way to add a folder to the Places menu at the top of the desktop?
[08:58] <GreyGhost> Bepo , i don't really know what the problem is... but can u please do a thing ? please google for "Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7 GRUB"  .... cos a whole lot of results come up ... i'd stay and help u out all the way ... but I've got a class in 5 minutes :( ... sorry... but in case u can't figure it out ... please do ask the question here agin....

[09:04] <ren_>
[09:05] <ren_>
[09:05] <Hellevator> can someone tell me what "chainloader+1" means in my grub menu.lst
[09:05] <musashi> i was just wondering that hellevator
[09:06] <polpak> ah, nvm

[09:08] <jarrod> i need some help with the irC
[09:09] <ajayme> FunnyLookinHat : i want to know about samba
[09:10] <FunnyLookinHat> ajayme, lol what do you want to know about it?  Sounds like you should search "samba tutorial" on ubuntuforums.org
[09:11] <jarrod> i wanna know how to connect top the "telstra" irc network
[09:11] <jarrod> *to*
[09:12] <ajayme>  FunnyLookinHat : when i format the linux then windows does not start
[09:13] <FunnyLookinHat> ajayme, ...  you probably formatted your entire hard drive, which would erase windows.  sounds like you are out of luck.
[09:14] <zenethic> hello
[09:14] <FunnyLookinHat> howdy
[09:14] <haboy_> on ubuntu 6.10 edgy. does VLC supports .mkv matroska files by default?
[09:15] <noob> anybody: is there a way the Windows OS can see the Linux OS?
[09:15] <Hellevator> haboy_ I'm guessing you tried playing a .mkv file and it didn't work?
[09:15] <ajayme>  FunnyLookinHat : no i insert the linux cd and famat only swap area and linux drive
[09:15] <haboy_> Hellevator: yep
[09:15] <zenethic> no
[09:15] <haboy_> Hellevator: it plays on mplayer, but there's no subtitles
[09:15] <Hellevator> noob: do you know what file system you installed linux with?
[09:15] <frogzoo> noob: for file sharing, yes = samba, for desktop access, you need a doze xserver
[09:15] <zenethic> automatix2
[09:15] <noob> fat32
[09:16] <FunnyLookinHat> ajayme, if you inserted the Ubuntu LiveCD and chose to format your hard drive you probably erased windows partitions.   If not, the reason windows may not work is because your bootloader is not setup correctly
[09:16] <Pie-rate> !automatix
[09:16] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[09:16] <noob> Hellevator: its Fat32
[09:16] <FunnyLookinHat> automatix is awful.
[09:16] <Hellevator> noob, if you installed linux on fat32 then windows should be able to see it
[09:16] <Hellevator> haboy_, I'm not sure man sorry, maybe someone else knows
[09:17] <noob> Hellevator: how??? i can just ping the IP but opening a shared folder i cant do it
[09:17] <haboy_> on ubuntu 6.10 edgy. does VLC supports .mkv matroska files by default?
[09:17] <FunnyLookinHat> haboy_, try googling "vlc mkv"  ??
[09:17] <Pie-rate> I've been screwing with getting LIRC working, and now if i hold down my keyboard's down button, it frequently types a '-' character instead of down
[09:17] <FunnyLookinHat> haboy_, since VLC supports formats on it's own (separate from an OS/Distribution dependancy) it would be the same for all versions of VLC
[09:18] <Pie-rate> wth is with that?
[09:18] <noob> Hellevator: by the way, whats the equivalent of Exe on Windows to Linux? i can't run the file i downloaded from the net which is a linux based software.
[09:18] <Hellevator> noob, oh I thought you were talking about on the same computer, um let me think.
[09:18] <FunnyLookinHat> noob, usually a .bin or .sh
[09:18] <alpa> can anyone guide me to make my repository universal?
[09:19] <FunnyLookinHat> noob, you usually have to chmod +x filename   first, then you can    ./filename    to run it
[09:19] <frogzoo> !samba | noob sounds like this is what you want
[09:19] <ubotu> noob sounds like this is what you want: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[09:19] <FunnyLookinHat> !multiverse | alpa
[09:19] <ubotu> alpa: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[09:19] <Hellevator> noob, what is the software you downloaded?
[09:19] <FunnyLookinHat> !EasySource | alpa
[09:19] <ubotu> alpa: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic.  It does not currently support Edgy sources.  When asked if it will, the reply was "maybe".
[09:19] <Pie-rate> if i hold down my keyboard's down button, it frequently types a '-' character instead of down, this is a critical problem, how can i fix it?
[09:20] <Hellevator> frogzoo, noob wants to be able to see linux from windows not the other way around
[09:20] <noob> Hellevator: Oracle Database(i think its a trial version)
[09:21] <Pie-rate> I think some kind of buffer is getting overloaded because it only happens after being held down for a few seconds
[09:21] <racarr> noob: The equivalent of an exe on linux is an ELF binary, but there is no one extension
[09:21] <Hellevator> noob, ok something like oracle database needs to be installed, it doesn't run standalone.  Oracle likely included installation instructions with it.
[09:21] <Hellevator> for linux
[09:21] <racarr> noob: Look for a file 'INSTALL' or 'README'
[09:21] <jbs> hi
[09:22] <FunnyLookinHat> Pie-rate, um... when you hold down the down-arrow, you shouldn't type anything usually...    so it's probably typing the ascii equivalent of the character/integer it thinks it's reading
[09:22] <jbs> re hi
[09:22] <Hellevator> welcome jbs
[09:22] <jbs> thanks
[09:23] <jbs> succesed install 6.10 edgy on my pc
[09:23] <FunnyLookinHat> jbs, grats!
[09:23] <Hellevator> jbs, sweet! You have any problems?
[09:24] <jbs> ^^
[09:24] <noob> anybody: How can i open an .SH File?
[09:24] <Pie-rate> funnylookinhat: i'm holding down the down arrow key ONLY, and its randomly either going down or typing a -
[09:24] <jbs> codec for totem..
[09:24] <racarr> noob: That's a script, in a console in the same directory as it you can run './filename.SH' to run it
[09:24] <Hellevator> noob, you run sh files, type ./file.sh in console
[09:24] <FunnyLookinHat> Pie-rate, but in what program?  it sounds like an error with the program, not your main system...
[09:24] <jbs> now study ubuntu...
[09:24] <Pie-rate> funnylookinhat: everything
[09:24] <Pie-rate> funnylookinhat: gedit, vim, pico
[09:24] <noob> Ty
[09:24] <Pie-rate> bash
[09:25] <FunnyLookinHat> noob, you may have to do   "chmod +x filename.sh" first
[09:25] <Pie-rate> gaim
[09:25] <noob> ok ill do it
[09:25] <jbs> and study xgl
[09:25] <Hellevator> noob, you can also open sh files in a text editor to view them.
[09:25] <Hellevator> jbs, make sure to have fun while your studying
[09:26] <jbs> ^^
[09:26] <noob> Hellavator: can i copy and paste it to the terminal?
[09:26] <Hellevator> noob, what do you mean?
[09:26] <racarr> noob: No, you don't copy paste it to the tterminal...in the terminal use 'cd' to get to the directory it is in
[09:26] <FunnyLookinHat> Pie-rate, i have a feeling you're making a big deal out of nothing really that important...   seems like a nominal problem that's simply due to your keyboard config or something.   still seems like a programming error for the program
[09:26] <noob> ok ty
[09:26] <jbs> m
[09:26] <racarr> noob: i.e. 'cd Desktop/folder'
[09:26] <Pie-rate> funnylookinhat: it is a big deal
[09:26] <racarr> noob: and run './file.sh' or 'sh file.sh'
[09:26] <Hellevator> or more likely
[09:27] <Hellevator> nvm
[09:27] <jbs> hellebator...where u r contury?
[09:27] <FunnyLookinHat> Pie-rate, lol ok.  well sorry I don't think I know of a solution for ya
[09:27] <Bepo> ANyone here know how to solve the Grub problem: Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
[09:27] <Bepo> Tried Dual booting but i keep getting the same error message
[09:27] <Pie-rate> funnylookinhat its a huge deal, if you couldnt use your down arrow properly you'd know how much of a pain in the ass it is. i havn't noticed it before now and believe me, i would have.
[09:28] <racarr> Bepo: Do you have /boot on something like ReiserFS?
[09:28] <Hellevator> jbs, where do I live?   ;)    Can you use your down arrow to page down on a web page in firefox?  if so, then you're crying in the wrong room
[09:28] <Bepo> Racarr: to be honest I dont know what that is... so I"m assuming now... you want to walk me through that?
[09:28] <noob> ok ill try
[09:28] <noob> ty
[09:29] <jbs> glad too meet you.
[09:29] <racarr> Bepo: If you aren't sure then probably not, you would have to do it specifically
[09:29] <Bepo> racarr: ah ok then no
[09:29] <Hellevator> jbs, nice to meet you :)
[09:29] <racarr> Bepo: When does this occur, after you pick an OS at grub?
[09:29] <racarr> Bepo: Any os?
[09:29] <Pie-rate> funnylookinhat: no, i can't. so i suppose i'm crying in the correct room.
[09:29] <jbs> plz understand me...i'm so beginer... ^^
[09:29] <Bepo> Racarr yeah so when I try to load XP I get that message: root (hd0,0) Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
[09:30] <Pie-rate> just tested it
[09:30] <jbs> and short english...
[09:30] <Bepo> Racarr: ubuntu is just fine though
[09:30] <Pie-rate> it works for approximately 1 second before it stops
[09:30] <Pie-rate> well, i'm restarting
[09:31] <racarr> Bepo: One hard drive?
[09:31] <Bepo> racarr: one hard drive only
[09:31] <rcrook> I managed to get Ubuntu installed on my on Ultra2 SPARC today... works  smooth for an old sparc box.
[09:31] <racarr> Bepo: At grub, try hitting e to edit the windows xp, then e to edit the root (hd0,0) entry
[09:32] <racarr> Bepo: And change it to rootnoverify(hd0,0)
[09:32] <Bepo> ok let me do that on my desktop hold a sec
[09:32] <racarr> Bepo: Then enter to save it, then b to boot
[09:32] <noob> To All: nice it works, ty guys
[09:32] <Pie-rate> yeah restarting fixed it... for now
[09:33] <Bepo> racarr it says Error 27: Unrecognized command
[09:34] <Bepo> racarr: should there be a space? or does it not matter
[09:34] <racarr> Bepo: Mm, I don't know if it will matter, but I have always put/seen a space
[09:34] <jbs> some problem
[09:35] <jbs> i can;t use korean word,,only english
[09:35] <racarr> Bepo: rootnoverify (hd0,0)
[09:35] <Pie-rate> crap, problem's back. i think its an LIRC problem
[09:35] <Bepo> racarr: just dies at the same screen
[09:35] <Pie-rate> !lirc
[09:35] <ubotu> lirc: Linux Infra-red Remote Control support. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.8.0-5ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 308 kB, installed size 1544 kB
[09:35] <racarr> Bepo: Mm, what is ubuntus root set to?
[09:35] <Bepo> racarr: well not die but just pauses there
[09:35] <racarr> Bepo: And did you install windows before or after ubuntu? and is it Vista?
[09:36] <Bepo> racarr: its XP, and originally XP was installed first
[09:36] <deep`> Okay, i need some help. How can i mount a bin/cue-image?
[09:36] <jbs>
[09:36] <racarr> Bepo: Mmn, ok, what is ubuntus root set to in GRUB?
[09:36] <jbs> ok..i can use korean type
[09:36] <Bepo> racarr: how do i check?
[09:37] <racarr> Bepo: Select the ubuntu entry in g rub like you  did the windows entry with e and llook for the root (bla) stuff
[09:37] <racarr> Bepo: Or inside of ubuntu look in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:38] <Bepo> racarr: root (hd0,1)
[09:39] <Bepo> racarr: "in your BIOS set your hard drive setting to LBA instead of [auto]  and reboot.  " I saw this as a solution on google dont know if it works. DOnt know how to do the solution haha
[09:39] <Bepo> racarr: can you tell me how to do that?
[09:40] <racarr> Bepo: When your computer starts up it probably has somethinng like <ESC> or <F12> for Setup/BIOS/something like that
[09:40] <racarr> Bepo: Hit that and look for the aforementioned option, theres not much I can tell you beyond that because I don't know what BIOS you have, or don't know what the interface would be if I did know
[09:43] <Bepo> racarr: hmmm dont know what im doing hahaha
[09:43] <Hellevator> raul, about half the linux community
[09:43] <raul> anyone knows if I will be blessed with composite support for my ATI x1400?
[09:43] <racarr> Bepo: Ok, try booting in to ubuntu on that machine
[09:44] <Bepo> racarr: Going in now. Thanks by the way for helping me
[09:44] <racarr> Bepo: And when you get in, put the contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst on
[09:44] <racarr> !pastebin
[09:44] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[09:44] <raul> we must go to ati corporate building and burn it
[09:44] <racarr> and send the link
[09:44] <racarr> Bepo: No problem
[09:44] <Hellevator> raul, buying an nvidia card would be cheaper
[09:45] <racarr> Yay intel integrated
[09:45] <Hellevator> raul, also a technicality. AMD bought ATI, we'd have to burn the AMD building
[09:45] <raul> yeah, but its a litle bit dificult if you have a laptop
[09:46] <raul> I have to live with this fact, no replacement for my portable... :(
[09:47] <Hellevator> raul, touche
[09:47] <racarr> Yeah, it's difficult for laptops
[09:47] <racarr> have to gather proper INTEL *cough* INTEL *cough* INTEL
[09:47] <racarr> beforehand
[09:48] <Bepo> racarr: what do i put in for syntax?
[09:48] <racarr> Bepo: Doesn't matter really
[09:48] <Hellevator> racarr, unfortunately many people become enlightened on linux AFTER they purchase their laptop
[09:48] <racarr> Hellevator: Heh, yeah, I just seized the opportunity to make a horrible pun
[09:49] <Bep1> racarr: this is Bepo http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38196/
[09:49] <Pie-rate> I've tried everything, I can't fix this, and it randomly started happening. my down arrow randomly types '-'s when i hold it down. this is NOT something I can live with, at all. here, i'll hold it down for 10 seconds: --------------
[09:49] <racarr> Bepo Bep1: Ok, juust a second...
[09:49] <fnf> rate: Check your locale and keyboard mode.
[09:50] <Hellevator> the good news is nvidia is outselling ATI so ATI knows it needs to step up somehow.  Maybe AMD will realize that it could have something to do with the fact that nobody running linux wants an ATI card
[09:50] <Pie-rate> when it types a -, down stops working. so it'll stop scrolling down in firefox, for example.
[09:50] <raul> so, there is no hope for me?
[09:50] <Pie-rate> fnf: keyboard mode?
[09:51] <fnf> Pie-rate: I mean the character set and keyboard mode in /etc/default/console-setup, perhaps your existing apps messed it up.
[09:51] <fnf> Pie-rate: Did it happen when you were in console ?
[09:51] <Hellevator> raul, I say give it ~1 year.  Given the amount Linux changed in 2006 there is bound to be decent ATI support by the end of 2007.
[09:51] <tubo^bph> Heya all, i am experiencing trouble with my ipw3945 WLAN driver , it drops / reconnects me once every 60 min or so. I would like to reserach what kernel module options i could tweak but do not know how to get a list of all possible options, or where to put them - any clues?
[09:51] <racarr> Bepo Bep1: I don't see a problem with the file, so maybe something with your bios doesn't work well with GRUB
[09:51] <Pie-rate> fnf: it happens in vi, pico, gedit, bash, firefox, and gaim
[09:51] <racarr> Bepo Bep1: We can try installingg a different boot loader
[09:52] <Bep1> racarr: sure
[09:52] <fnf> Pie-rate: Did it happen if you boot straight to console, not starting X ?
[09:52] <Pie-rate> fnf: i just found an extraneous section in xorg.conf that i forgot to remove. be right back, restarting x
[09:52] <Bep1> racarr: it would have to be on CD though, cuz I dont have floppy :/
[09:52] <Pie-rate> fnf: let me check
[09:52] <Bep1> racarr: just tell me what to do
[09:53] <raul> heheheh, in 1 year my lap will be obsolet and replace with another, and I swear of god that will have NVIDIA
[09:53] <racarr> Bep1: Ok, just a second...
[09:53] <Pie-rate> fnf: getting rid of that extra section didn't work. should i stop x or will doing it in ctrl-alt-f1 work?
[09:54] <Bep1> racarr: I know for a fact Ubuntu has worked on my system before and dual booted succesfully. But onde day I decided to try Suse... and yeah switched back.... and thats why I'm in this mess right now
[09:54] <racarr> Bep1: Going to make the configuration sfile for you...
[09:54] <Bep1> racarr: ok
[09:54] <Pie-rate> eh i'll just stop x to be on the safe side
[09:54] <fnf> Pie-rate: Sure, but you should probably try to shutdown X completely, or reboot without starting X. Do you happen to know that already ?
[09:54] <racarr> Bep1: If it's worked before though...maybe installing another bootloader isn't the solution
[09:54] <nepa> raphink, hi
[09:54] <raphink> hi nepa
[09:54] <fnf> Pie-rate: Just guessing, X might be the cause.
[09:54] <Pie-rate> fnf: /etc/init.d/gdm stop?
[09:55] <fnf> Pie-rate: Yes
[09:55] <Bep1> racarr: i think it may have been SUSE that screwed this up?
[09:55] <Pie-rate> brb
[09:55] <racarr> Bep1: Maybe, or windows isn't where it thinks it is on the disk anymore...
[09:55] <raul> oks, Hellevator, thank you for illustration, have to downgrade win dos, life sucks
[09:55] <racarr> Bep1: What does 'fdisk -l' give, put it on pastebin
[09:56] <Pie-rate> fnf: no, it doesn't happen there
[09:56] <nepa> raphink, what is going on?
[09:56] <Hellevator> raul, actually don't take much I said seriously. I don't have an ATI card so I'm not very knowledgeable on them.  Check the forums in you haven't already.
[09:56] <fnf> Pie-rate: My last guess, check if System-->Preferences-->Keyboard to see if the locale was rightly set to US (?)
[09:56] <Bep1> racarr: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38197/
[09:57] <fnf> Pie-rate: Or else you should try to reinstall GNOME/X if that doesn't ehlp.
[09:57] <Pie-rate> U.S. English
[09:57] <racarr> Bep1: Ohh...that's not right...
[09:58] <Pie-rate> this is they only keyboard section in my xorg.conf:
[09:58] <Pie-rate> Section "InputDevice"
[09:58] <Pie-rate>     # generated from default
[09:58] <Pie-rate>     Identifier     "Keyboard0"
[09:58] <Pie-rate>     Driver         "kbd"
[09:58] <Pie-rate> EndSection
[09:58] <Erb_> How do you reorder tasks in a panel?
[09:58] <fnf> Pie-rate: It seems to be lacking some important fields.
[09:58] <Pie-rate> fnf: like?
[09:58] <racarr> Bep1: See how /dev/sda3 and /dev/sda5 are in the same place?
[09:58] <starz> hey
[09:58] <starz> anyone know how to get a taller toolbar on icewm?
[09:59] <fnf> Pie-rate: I would post mine if that doesn't fix it, but try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver' first, that faster.
[09:59] <starz> and icewm is lighter than gnome and the like right?
[09:59] <starz> should be lighter than xfce rite?
[09:59] <Bep1> racarr: yeah
[09:59] <Bep1> racarr: is it fixable?
[09:59] <Pie-rate> fnf: i don't want to screw up my nvidia config...
[09:59] <racarr> Bep1: Ok, apt-get install gparted, then run 'sudo gparted' and I will walk you through fixing it
[09:59] <racarr> Bep1: Yes, deleting the swap partition and recreating it should fix it
[10:00] <racarr> Bep1: No data loss, swap gets cleared at each boot anyway
[10:00] <fnf> Pie-rate: Just back it up... ok, here's the relevant info:
[10:00] <Pie-rate> but i'll back it up
[10:00] <raphink> how do you mean nepa?
[10:00] <fnf> Pie-rate:Section "InputDevice"
[10:00] <fnf>         Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
[10:00] <fnf>         Driver          "kbd"
[10:00] <fnf>         Option          "CoreKeyboard"
[10:00] <fnf>         Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
[10:00] <haboy_> from breezy? do i need to upgrade to dapper before i could upgrade to edgy?
[10:00] <fnf>         Option          "XkbModel"      "pc105"
[10:00] <fnf>         Option          "XkbLayout"     "us"
[10:00] <fnf> EndSection
[10:00] <rausb0> starz: yes, icewm is lighter than xfce
[10:00] <Pie-rate> jschall@jon:/etc/X11$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver
[10:00] <Pie-rate> Package `xserver' is not installed and no info is available.
[10:00] <fnf> Oh, sorry, it should go to pastebin
[10:00] <starz> rausb0, right on.
[10:00] <fnf> Pie-rate: xserver-corg, sorry.
[10:00] <starz> i think im gonna downgrade to server install + icewm
[10:00] <fnf> Pie-rate: xserver-xorg.
[10:00] <starz> :D
[10:00] <stabber> someone died.
[10:01] <starz> but ive never gotten xdm to work unfortunately
[10:01] <starz> knwo of a good guide for that rausb0 ?
[10:01] <Bep1> racarr: brought a Gparted screen
[10:01] <rausb0> starz: however, when using a pure window manager i'd prefer fluxbox
[10:01] <racarr> Bep1: Ok, I'm not sure exactly how gparted is  going to show it because the partition table is messed up, so how do you see the bar that shows portions of the disks and what device they are
[10:01] <rausb0> starz: what xdm troubles do you have?
[10:01] <racarr> Bep1: I.e. you should see /dev/sda1 at the front, and it should fill up about half
[10:02] <Bep1> racarr: yup /dev/sda1 fills up half
[10:02] <iLLf8d> hey all whats the install footprint of x86 ubuntu like 4G?
[10:02] <stabber> i can't change my SSID on my router i'll have to let my dad do it
[10:02] <Bep1> racarr: comes first
[10:02] <racarr> Bep1: Actually in the list below
[10:02] <racarr> Bep1: For filesystem, you have NTFS - Ext 3 - and Swap, right?
[10:03] <Hellevator> quick question: what package contains the svn command?
[10:03] <racarr> Bep1: linux-swap
[10:03] <fnf> Hellevator: subversion, hint: install apt-file to get answer to these type of questions.
[10:03] <Bep1> racarr: ntfs, ext 3, extended, swap
[10:04] <CotRo|eR> !basic commands
[10:04] <racarr> Bep1: Oh, I'm stupid, that was an extended partition, not an ext3, so I'm not sure if there actually should be a problem
[10:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about basic commands - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:04] <racarr> Bep1: *smack self*
[10:04] <CotRo|eR> !commands
[10:04] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[10:05] <racarr> Bep1: Ok...scratch that sorry
[10:05] <stabber> join #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:05] <Bep1> racarr: oh hahaha. /dev/sda3 is extended. then it drops down to /dev/sda5 linux swap
[10:05] <racarr> Bep1: Yeah, sorry....late here and wasn't paying attention
[10:05] <Gunslinger|Deags> hello is anyone here
[10:05] <Gunslinger|Deags> yay
[10:05] <fnf> !Hi
[10:05] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[10:06] <Gunslinger|Deags> someone is
[10:06] <Bep1> racarr: no worries
[10:06] <Gunslinger|Deags> alright well i really need some assistance as soon as someone has a chance
[10:06] <fnf> !ask | Gunslinger|Deags
[10:06] <ubotu> Gunslinger|Deags: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:06] <Gunslinger|Deags> ooooo
[10:06] <Gunslinger|Deags> cool ok ty
[10:06] <rkupv> Can anyone help me finding w32codecs?
[10:07] <racarr> Bep1: Just a second, have another idea, want to make sure it wownt break anything thoughg
[10:07] <Madpilot> ubotu, w32codec | rkupv
[10:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about w32codec - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:07] <Bep1> racarr:Ok thanks! :)
[10:07] <Madpilot> ubotu, w32codecs | rkupv
[10:07] <ubotu> rkupv: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[10:07] <Gunslinger|Deags> even if my problem is like paragraph or two long?
[10:07] <Madpilot> Gunslinger|Deags, try and shorten it, or pastebin the long version and just link us to the pastebin
[10:07] <Hellevator> rkupv, try this http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Multimedia_Codecs
[10:08] <Hellevator> Gunslinger|Deags, ask! :)
[10:08] <rkupv> I have been at most of those places, the problem is that easyubuntu stopped delivering w32codecs
[10:08] <racarr> Bep1: Mm...no...I don't know that is not going to break anything...
[10:08] <Madpilot> rkupv, the w32codecs repo changed a while back, eu might not have caught up yet
[10:09] <Madpilot> rkupv, it's easy to add manually, though
[10:09] <racarr> Bep1: Try lookingg around in your bios again for anything relating to LBA...
[10:09] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok well heres how it goes the short sweet version i burn the ubuntu-6.06.1-desktop-i386 cd insert it and it basically does nothing when i hit enter to install it it starts to uncompress the cd then says starting kernal and stops all together
[10:09] <racarr> Bep1: It doesn't mattter if you don't know what you are doing, just don't save
[10:09] <Bep1> racarr: so it should be under setup?
[10:09] <Gunslinger|Deags> btw i have little to no previous exp with linux
[10:09] <Hellevator> Gunslinger|Deags, is the computer your trying to install it on really new?
[10:09] <bun-bun> does anyone know why firefox 2 isn't available through the repositories for 6.06?
[10:09] <Gunslinger|Deags> no its older
[10:09] <Gunslinger|Deags> aybe 4 years old
[10:10] <racarr> Bep1: I'm guessing after you hit the key for that you get a text driven menu with a bunch of options and hardware info? yes
[10:10] <Madpilot> Gunslinger|Deags, on the first screen you see when the LiveCD runs, there should be an option called "Check This CD" or similar - run that
[10:10] <Flannel> bun-bun: it won't be.
[10:10] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok one second
[10:10] <bun-bun> that wasn't my question
[10:10] <Flannel> bun-bun: Each release is frozen to the versions that it was released with
[10:10] <Flannel> bun-bun: well, besides bugfixes/security stuff
[10:10] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok it runs the check
[10:10] <Gunslinger|Deags> then says uncompressing
[10:10] <Pie-rate> fnf: nope. didn't do anything
[10:10] <bun-bun> i see
[10:10] <Gunslinger|Deags> then goes to the bar
[10:11] <Gunslinger|Deags> then waits
[10:11] <Bepo> racarr: ok im going in
[10:11] <Gunslinger|Deags> then goes back to uncompressing
[10:11] <racarr> Bepo: Ok
[10:11] <Gunslinger|Deags> and sits
[10:11] <Gunslinger|Deags> like before
[10:11] <bun-bun> so in order to upgrade my browser i have to upgrade my os
[10:11] <Bepo> racarr: I"m assumming go under Boot tab?
[10:11] <Madpilot> bun-bun, yes, an upgrade to 6.10 will get FF2.x
[10:11] <zircx> sup peeps, hey has anyone had problems with any of the updates? my machine seems to be slowing somewhat.. is there a benchmark proggy i could use to test it .. for some reason, it struggles to play youtube video's yet I had no problems before..
[10:11] <racarr> Bepo: I don't think so, it's more likely to be under somethingn related to Disk, just look around
[10:12] <zircx> something seems to have different about my system
