[08:52] <beginxattraction> When I use mplayer or xmms it always freezes, does anyone know of any other GOOD media players? It would be great if I could use apt-get to get them, too...
[08:53] <hramrach> That does not work
[08:53] <cocox> ok i ll try
[08:53] <theCore> I would like to make self-learning doc. website, where I would put nice guides or howtos for linux newbies. If you know documents that were interesting when you started at linux, could you send me their links?
[08:53] <Cartesian1984> jon4s: can you use it otherwise?
[08:53] <NoUse> hramrach http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-76517.html
[08:53] <soundray> graabein, sorry, I don't know which driver you need to install.
[08:53] <aarkerio> what kernel options should I activate and not lost the splash?
[08:53] <Cartesian1984> jon4s: like in the GUI or when you log in?
[08:53] <soundray> graabein, maybe you can find out from your boot messages.
[08:54] <foxgamer> Hi all. Has anyone had any problems with the settings in xfce on ubuntu?
[08:54] <antoine__> hi there !
[08:54] <jon4s> cant logon it... but my account now is has like root possibilitys, u know installing programs etc etc
[08:54] <nick_> how do you burn an .mdf file as a cd image?
[08:54] <graabein> soundray, allright, where do i look for the boot messages again...
[08:54] <beginxattraction> I've never done anything in IRC so I guess I will just wait until someone answers it
[08:55] <soundray> graabein, on your screen :)  Sorry, I mean the ones that don't get logged - before grub starts.
[08:55] <graabein> soundray, oh so i cant browse a file?
[08:55] <paul__> Anybody been able to get VmWare 5.0 to work in 5.10 brezzy without having to rebuild the kernel with GCC 4.2.2
[08:55] <bimberi> theCore: http://www.linuxcommand.org/ and http://www.tuxfiles.org are good
[08:55] <Cartesian1984> jon4s: i am not sure, but if you went in recovery mode, from grub, you probably would be able to change it
[08:55] <graabein> soundray, can i pause the boot sequence with pause/break or is that not good?
[08:56] <beginxattraction> BTW, I use Hoary, not Breezy (I don't want to take the time to upgrade, lol)
[08:56] <soundray> graabein, no, BIOS messages won't be in your logs.
[08:56] <jon4s> okay
[08:56] <Cartesian1984> paul__: yes, i have
[08:56] <smo> nick_, I believe that's a propietary format tied to a specific app.  so unfortunately, you probably can't
[08:56] <skapple> has anyone here succesfully installed diablo2 under ubuntu?
[08:56] <paul__> OK!
[08:56] <soundray> graabein, I don't know if you can.
[08:56] <carlo> ciao a tutti
[08:56] <Cartesian1984> paul__: you need to change the export CC variable
[08:56] <topyli> so. here i am with a brand new bluetooth dongle. how will i make it work with my phone?
[08:56] <smo> skapple, I had it working with the non-free version of cedega/winex, but couldn't get networking to work
[08:57] <cocox> dude i try to format my flopppy disk in vfat and when i try to mount it now i get this "mount: /dev/fd0: no se puede leer el superbloque"
[08:57] <skapple> smo: you mean battle.net?
[08:57] <soundray> graabein, do you get a message about the SATA disk at all during boot?
[08:57] <graabein> soundray, hmmm, ill try restarting then. thanks for your help though!!
[08:57] <smo> skapple, bingo
[08:57] <ompaul> beginxattraction, well a lot of people use beep-media-player and you can use apt for it - however if it is a case that your trying to do something that you ain't got codecs for you need to >>/msg ubotu tell me about codecs<< and that can help a lot if you read that message
[08:57] <skapple> bummer. i tried installing it using wine and i did not even get that far
[08:57] <doug_> Does anyone know why the screen resolution is just a little too big for my monitor? i set the resolution in X to be my native resolution...
[08:57] <ketaset> is evolution in ubuntu 5.1 known to be buggy? it constantly crashes on me (with imap)
[08:57] <graabein> soundray, uhm cant remember, i was busy doing something else when i booted. i just figured ubuntu would take care of it! ;-)
[08:57] <LinuxN00bie> hi
[08:57] <LinuxN00bie> it's still the same
[08:57] <NoUse> !tell doug_ about fixres
[08:57] <LinuxN00bie> but this time i can run the add/remove programs window
[08:58] <LinuxN00bie> can't run synaptic

[08:58] <NoUse> LinuxN00bie sounds like hardware problems
[08:58] <foxgamer> ketaset: Change the settings on your monitor.
[08:58] <zucker> is there any way to install debian from an ubuntu livecd?  (like grab an image, and run the installer that way or something?)  i would get a deb install disc, but i dont have access to a cd burner only this stupid ubuntu disc.
[08:58] <skapple> smo: where can i get cedega?
[08:58] <LinuxN00bie> arghh T_T
[08:58] <_jason> beginxattraction, did you setup mplayer to use esd sound?  that caused some problems for me at first
[08:58] <soundray> NoUse, yeah, LinuxN00bie has bad memory and is trying to fix it in software :)
[08:58] <smo> skapple, it's a commercial release of wine .. transgaming.com, but there's $$ involved
[08:59] <skapple> nm it then
[08:59] <beginxattraction> No, I just added Marillats things to my source list then ran apt-get update and installed it regular
[08:59] <paul__> Cartesian1984: Will you please explain a little bit deeper. I've never done that
[08:59] <LinuxN00bie> arghh!
[08:59] <skapple> smo: wine keeps asking me to put in the install disc even though it is in, i cannot figure it out
[08:59] <Cartesian1984> paul__: you need to type export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4, and then run the installation script
[08:59] <NoUse> LinuxN00bie hey it could be worse, memory is pretty cheap
[08:59] <Cartesian1984> paul__: you need to have gcc 3.4 installed
[08:59] <foxgamer> Anyone running xfce able to help me with a problem with not being able to change settings?
[08:59] <LinuxN00bie> ok forget the ram
[08:59] <Cartesian1984> you can get it from synaptic
[09:00] <LinuxN00bie> how to install a new hardware in ubuntu? i juz fixed my cd-rom drive
[09:00] <paul__> Cartesian1984: Thank You, I'll try
[09:00] <bina> what would the usernamme / pass be for my cups server when accessing it through http://localhsot:631
[09:00] <paul__>  mhjf,h.
[09:00] <NoUse> LinuxN00bie put the hardware in, Linux takes care of the rest
[09:00] <paul__> Sorry
[09:00] <LinuxN00bie> but it doesn't seem to detect the drive
[09:01] <paul__> Cartesian1984: I'll try that later
[09:01] <beginxattraction> Linuxn00bie, linux can do anyyttthinngg!
[09:01] <beginxattraction> lol
[09:01] <NoUse> LinuxN00bie are you sure the drive is fixed?
[09:01] <Cartesian1984> paul__: no problem, just remember to run the export variable command and the install script in the same term window
[09:01] <LinuxN00bie> yeap
[09:01] <NoUse> LinuxN00bie then you aren't installing it properly
[09:01] <LinuxN00bie> my bios can detect it
[09:01] <paul__> Cartesian1984: OK
[09:01] <beginxattraction> hmm...
[09:02] <hramrach> NoUse: thanks, at least the floppy works now
[09:02] <beginxattraction> I installed a DVD drive on my dads Ubuntu system and it worked fine...
[09:02] <zucker2> why am i being forwarded to #ubuntu when i attempt to connect with #debian
[09:02] <NoUse> LinuxN00bie check the 'disks' dialog in gnome
[09:02] <soundray> zucker2, it's all part of a conspiracy.
[09:03] <zucker2> soundray, ack..i have an actual debian question, and not ubuntu..
[09:03] <ketaset> how do I configure the power button on my laptop (e.g. set it to hibernate)?
[09:03] <NoUse> zucker2 its probably because your username is ubuntu and debian people are pretty anal
[09:03] <FliesLikeABrick> what kernel should be used on an AMD Duron?
[09:03] <LinuxN00bie> NoUse, err what do u mean 'disks' dialog?
[09:03] <topyli> nobody uses bluetooth dongle?
[09:03] <FliesLikeABrick> ketaset what laptop?
[09:03] <NoUse> LinuxN00bie System -> Admistration -> Disks
[09:03] <ketaset> it's a dell l atitude d800
[09:03] <beginxattraction> ompaul, I apt-got BeepMediaPlayer and it won't start, should I reboot and see if it does anything?
[09:03] <zucker2> zucker2, tried changing it already.
[09:04] <hramrach> FliesLikeABrick: Duron should be K7
[09:04] <DrBair> Is there a way to have a network post-up action run?
[09:04] <FliesLikeABrick> thats what i thought
[09:04] <LinuxN00bie> NoUse, i dun see it
[09:04] <pramz> gah
[09:04] <NoUse> LinuxN00bie you running breezy?
[09:04] <LinuxN00bie> NoUse, it's not there...
[09:04] <pramz> network solutions hosting is useless
[09:04] <pramz> ftp times out
[09:04] <LinuxN00bie> NoUse, hoary
[09:04] <pramz> mysql times out
[09:04] <FliesLikeABrick> how do i find out what kernel is currently booted?
[09:04] <NoUse> LinuxN00bie thats why
[09:04] <hramrach> How do I make a script think it is _really_ running as root?
[09:04] <pramz> while on hold for tech support, that times out too
[09:04] <ompaul> beginxattraction, why reboot this is linux - did you do something funny?
[09:04] <pramz> FliesLikeABrick, uname -a
[09:04] <LinuxN00bie> NoUse, why?
[09:04] <NoUse> LinuxN00bie that config app wasn't added until breezy
[09:05] <hramrach> when I run lprm suid root it wants a password
[09:05] <FliesLikeABrick> thanks a bunch, simple questions
[09:05] <ompaul> beginxattraction, if you did not what are you trying to play? what sound card have you got
[09:05] <LinuxN00bie> NoUse, so how 2 do it in hoary?
[09:05] <NoUse> LinuxN00bie just upgrade to breezy
[09:05] <beginxattraction> let me check...
[09:05] <theCore> bimberi: thanks for the links
[09:05] <robotgeek> hramrach: sudo ./script.sh shud work fine.
[09:05] <LinuxN00bie> NoUse, sudo apt-get ??
[09:05] <mlalkaka> after changing the directory permissions of /usr/local/src to rwxrwxr-x, and changing the group owner to src, how come members of the src group are not able to write to that directory?
[09:05] <nubs0r> does anyone know how i can write a script to addusers based on a file that i have full of users.
[09:05] <hramrach> robotgeek: it want s a password
[09:05] <NoUse> !tell LinuxN00bie about breezy
[09:05] <LinuxN00bie> NoUse, i mean how to upgrade it?
[09:05] <nubs0r> like each username is on a newline
[09:05] <beginxattraction> iv'e still got the windoze customs :p
[09:05] <nubs0r> can i write a sed script that searches for the new line and automatically runs the command for that
[09:06] <kh4nh> hi guys
[09:06] <NoUse> LinuxN00bie you realize your computer is going to continue acting strangely until you fix your RAM right?
[09:06] <robotgeek> ubotu: tell hramrach about sudo
[09:06] <hramrach> robotgeek: I want to put it on a gui button, so password prompt is not acceptable
[09:06] <kh4nh> got a question about find command
[09:06] <LinuxN00bie> NoUse, yea...
[09:06] <beginxattraction> ompaul, i'm not sure...
[09:06] <soundray> nubs0r, for i in $(cat file) ; do echo $i ; done
[09:06] <kh4nh> how could you find files and then copy those files to a directory
[09:07] <kh4nh> find / -name filename -exec cp {} .
[09:07] <ompaul> LinuxN00bie, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade
[09:07] <DrBair> Is there a way to have a network post-up action run?
[09:07] <kh4nh> this does not work for me, anyone could help
[09:07] <ompaul> LinuxN00bie, and as nouse said
[09:07] <hramrach> And the damn gnome cups frontend does not even want a password, it does not remove jobs at all
[09:07] <robotgeek> hramrach: you can get a root shell by sudo -i, or to run a whole script as root, 'sudo sh -c "commands"' will ensure root execution
[09:07] <LinuxN00bie> ok thx
[09:07] <soundray> kh4nh, escape the braces with '
[09:07] <LinuxN00bie> think i need to fix my rams first
[09:08] <hramrach> robotgeek: but sudo wants a password, it won't run anything if nobody enters it
[09:08] <kh4nh> soundray, like thisfind / -name filename -exec cp '{}' .
[09:08] <beginxattraction> ompaul, I don't think its the soundcard... when I click on it in the Applications menu it won't start
[09:08] <soundray> kh4nh, looks correct.
[09:08] <robotgeek> hramrach: isn't that the idea? anyways, for a gui sudo thin, use gksudo
[09:08] <kh4nh> missing argument to '-exec'
[09:08] <soundray> kh4nh, it'll overwrite duplicates, though.
[09:09] <ompaul> beginxattraction, well just log out of the session and log in again
[09:09] <hramrach> robotgeek: the idea is that anybody should be allowed to remove print jobs, especially those started by him
[09:09] <beginxattraction> ompaul, thanks! I'll try it
[09:09] <LinuxN00bie> ok guys, what brand/model of the ram is the best?
[09:10] <kh4nh> soundray, find:missing argument to '-exec'
[09:10] <robotgeek> hramrach: you can solve that by adding the user to the print group, i think. i am not sure on the specifics
[09:10] <theCore> LinuxN00bie: any brands are good
[09:10] <ompaul> LinuxN00bie, the one that is for your machine you have to know what that is, if you have a branded machine you should be able to find out what version is suitable
[09:10] <theCore> LinuxN00bie: get the cheapest one
[09:10] <soundray> kh4nh, yep, there was a ';' missing at the end. Escape that too.
[09:10] <hramrach> robotgeek: there is no print group..
[09:10] <ompaul> LinuxN00bie, easy, if not you need to identify it yourself
[09:10] <LinuxN00bie> LOL
[09:11] <soundray> kh4nh, there is excellent documentation in info find.
[09:11] <mlalkaka> after changing the directory permissions of /usr/local/src to rwxrwxr-x, and changing the group owner to src, how come members of the src group are not able to write to that directory?
[09:11] <stupid_computer> my mplayer plugin wont play half the vids i try to stream, i have to open mplayer and load the vid from my tmp dir to get it to play,any clue on how to fix it?
[09:11] <robotgeek> hramrach: or cups
[09:11] <pjssilva> hramrach: Just add the users to the lpadmin group.
[09:11] <hramrach> ok, I will try
[09:11] <hramrach> Thanks
[09:12] <crass> what is the root pass for the live cd?
[09:12] <theCore> LinuxN00bie: what is the name of your motherboard ?
[09:12] <NoUse> !tell crass about root
[09:12] <pjssilva> hramrach: The user will have to login again to the change take effect. Finally if you create a user using the graphical interface under the menu system it should be added to this group automatically. Did you use adduser?
[09:12] <kh4nh> thanks, i look at it
[09:13] <theCore> LinuxN00bie: so I can find you ram type you need for it
[09:13] <LinuxN00bie> theCore, Intel Desktop Board D845GVAD2
[09:13] <_jason> does anyone know of a program to emulate mouse buttons? (an analog of xvkbd but for mouse buttons instead of keyboard buttons)
[09:14] <hramrach> pjssilva: I do not remember. yes, the users have to log in again after editing /etc/group :)
[09:14] <Stormx2> anyone had experience with a lamp configuration and setting up email?
[09:14] <mcadory> linuxn00bie: did you try www.intel.com?  or google?
[09:14] <rem_> anyone setup thawte account for evolution .. ?
[09:14] <NoUse> !tell Stormx2 about php
[09:14] <LinuxN00bie> mcadory, i'm trying now :D
[09:14] <mcadory> help
[09:14] <bigmoe> sorry where can i find libstdc++.so.5 with apt-get
[09:14] <pjssilva> hramrach: I once created a user with adduser and had to manually ad him to some groups (you can use the graphical interface under the system menu). That's how I know the fix (hopefulle).
[09:15] <mcadory> oops
[09:15] <rem_> it says either netscape, outlook...but no evolution ...
[09:15] <hramrach> pjssilva: I just edit /etc/group with vim :)
[09:15] <Stormx2> NoUse: yes yes, but PHP can't create mail accounts.
[09:15] <Stormx2> NoUse: I have lamp on this eserver anyway.
[09:15] <pjssilva> hramrach: There might be other intresting groups, like cdrom, sound, etc.
[09:15] <sorush20> right clikcking on evolution makes it crash what the hell should I do?
[09:16] <theCore> LinuxN00bie: http://tinyurl.com/8w6rs
[09:16] <NoUse> Stormx2 so thats more of a PHP programming question
[09:16] <hramrach> pjssilva: yes, I included both my users in all groups that sounded interesting ;)
[09:16] <sorush20> Is there a way to have the sources on the install cd and do a compiling automatically when you install Ubuntu?
[09:16] <theCore> LinuxN00bie: you just need to find the cheapest one
[09:16] <LinuxN00bie> theCore, thx!
[09:16] <LinuxN00bie> theCore, thx!
[09:16] <theCore> LinuxN00bie: no prob.
[09:17] <lio19> someone can help me?
[09:17] <Stormx2> NoUse: No its not, because as I just said, PHP can't do it.
[09:17] <lio19>  i need to install my AMR integrate modem
[09:17] <bina> Hi i have an HP Deskjet 5440 which prints (yay) but the job isnt deleted from the queue afterwards.  Is there some way I can fix this?
[09:17] <NoUse> Stormx2 says who?
[09:17] <lio19> 'n i dont know how to do it
[09:17] <NoUse> Stormx2 PHP is a programming language, it does whatever you tell it to
[09:17] <hramrach> how do I print a scanned document? It is ppor quality scan, and the pages are gray. It comes out unreadabe on the printer.
[09:17] <Stormx2> NoUse: As far as I can tell, as I have been looking into it for a couple of months
[09:18] <Stormx2> NoUse: I'll just make it run make_stormx_a_coffee()
[09:18] <Stormx2> NoUse: Of course it can't do anything I tell it to, otherwise I could take over the world.
[09:19] <C-O-L-T> Please Help me GUys. I would like to install KUBUNTU, I have the cd everything but I have Xandros on a partition.
[09:19] <C-O-L-T> How can I delete it
[09:19] <soundray> hramrach, open it in gimp, do Layer-Color-Levels-Auto and try printing again.
[09:19] <C-O-L-T> ??
[09:19] <C-O-L-T> And Install KUBUNTU
[09:19] <C-O-L-T> Please help me
[09:19] <Zukero> C-O-L-T
[09:19] <hramrach> soundray: opening a pdf in gimp makes me shiver..
[09:19] <soundray> C-O-L-T, Ubuntu will do the deleting for you.
[09:19] <Stormx2> sudo apt-get install kubuntu
[09:19] <Zukero> partman should enable you to desstroy that partition
[09:19] <C-O-L-T> But how?
[09:19] <C-O-L-T> Can somebody give me
[09:19] <C-O-L-T> a guide
[09:20] <mcadory> C-O-L-T: there is a partition utility that comes with the install
[09:20] <Zukero> follow the instalation procedure
[09:20] <soundray> hramrach, with anticipation?
[09:20] <C-O-L-T> I am new in the Linux World
[09:20] <NoUse> C-O-L-T boot from the CD
[09:20] <C-O-L-T> yes
[09:20] <Zukero> at some point it will list all of your partitions
[09:20] <C-O-L-T> yes
[09:20] <Zukero> just choose your xandros one
[09:20] <NoUse> !tell C-O-L-T about install
[09:21] <Obsidians> What's the best Linux equivilent for MS Money?
[09:22] <ompaul> gnucash
[09:22] <hramrach> soundray: it shows only one page :/
[09:22] <nalioth> ompaul: i see you know your money-laundering
[09:22] <mcadory> C-O-L-T: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=94
[09:22] <ompaul> hehe
[09:22] <soundray> hramrach, how many are there supposed to be?
[09:22] <hramrach> soundray: 7
[09:22] <doug__> How do you activate transparency in gnome?
[09:23] <ompaul> nalioth, o/t for a story about that if you want
[09:23] <doug__> !tell doug__ about transparency
[09:23] <NoUse> Obsidians I've never used it but there is also kmymoney2
[09:23] <doug__> !tell doug__ about opacity
[09:23] <doug__> !tell doug__ about transparency
[09:23] <doug__> does anyone know how to set transparency /
[09:23] <Stormx2>  /msg ubotu <word>
[09:23] <Stormx2> please
[09:24] <Stormx2> doug__: Its a gnome/kde thing
[09:24] <Stormx2> check the channels
[09:24] <soundray> Obsidians, search lwn.net for personal finance managers for a review of alternatives.
[09:24] <pjssilva> Obsidians: Read http://lwn.net/Articles/151599/ and http://lwn.net/Articles/153043/
[09:24] <soundray> hramrach, what kind of printer are you using?
[09:24] <doug__> what channels?
[09:25] <hramrach> soundray: 24pin :)
[09:25] <spudse> When I have a network, and with nautilus I can browse in the network folder, How can I get to that folder from console?
[09:25] <Obsidians> Awesome guys, thanx.
[09:25] <C-O-L-T> CAN I DELETE XANDROS OS UNDER WINDOWS
[09:25] <hramrach> soundray: the rasterizer does not handle the lightgray background well, makes lots of noise
[09:25] <C-O-L-T> SO DELETE THE PARTITION
[09:26] <NoUse> !shout
[09:26] <ubotu> somebody said shout was WE CAN READ LOWER CASE!
[09:26] <nubs0r> Anyone know a command to check all other computers on the same network as this one
[09:26] <nubs0r> i dont think netstat does it
[09:26] <NoUse> C-O-L-T using all caps is not the way to get help
[09:26] <nubs0r> for instance, the ip of this computer is <IP_ADDRESS> locally, i want to see the other ones.
[09:26] <daxxar> <
[09:26] <priich> nubs0r: nmap ?
[09:26] <nubs0r> priich, that only shows ports doesnt it.
[09:26] <NoUse> C-O-L-T you can delete xandros from the ubuntu installer, that is the best way to do it
[09:26] <soundray> nubs0r, man ping, look for -b
[09:27] <emile> nubs0r: nmap -sP <IP_ADDRESS>-255 for a ping sweep
[09:27] <theCore> what are the ubuntu irc channels?
[09:27] <priich> nubs0r: yes but if they respond , they should be there, right .
[09:27] <soundray> hramrach, I'm sure there is a way to solve your problem with ghostscript.
[09:27] <soundray> hramrach, I just don't know how.
[09:27] <hramrach> me too, but I do not know how :)
[09:28] <soundray> hramrach, at least we're sharing the desperation :)
[09:28] <hramrach> It is rpobably rasterized by gs anyway
[09:28] <soundray> hramrach, exactly.
[09:28] <NoUse> theCore /list #ubuntu* there are a lot
[09:28] <DjaFollah> how can i recover my ext3 file plz?
[09:28] <theCore> NoUse , thx
[09:28] <spudse> lol nobody ever answer questions in here
[09:29] <gfish> can i use firefox plugins in linux
[09:29] <coz> hello all
[09:29] <nubs0r> emile, i cant netcat local computers..why
[09:29] <doug_> DOes ubuntu use xorg-x11?
[09:29] <coz> has anyone here ever used any of the defrag utilities for linux?
[09:29] <priich> gfish: yes.
[09:29] <NoUse> spudse you have to mount the network share to view it from a console
[09:29] <emile> nubs0r: can you ping them?
[09:30] <spudse> NoUse, how do I mount it ? is it in /dev ?
[09:30] <nubs0r> emile, im trying to use netcat to port scan computers on my network, heres what i did: nc -vv -w 2 -z 10.0.x.x
[09:30] <NoUse> spudse is this a windows share?
[09:30] <hramrach> is there an imagemagick manual? the help is quite cryptic..
[09:30] <nubs0r> emile, yes, im only entering hostnames that appeared in the ping sweep i did with nmap
[09:30] <spudse> NoUse, it is a samba share, from a computer with ubuntu server
[09:30] <SpaceCake> coz why do you need it ? by default defragmentaTION level on an linux filesistem is below 3%
[09:30] <gfish> ok i still cant get my printer to work can i have some help
[09:30] <robotgeek> hramrach: /usr/share/doc/imagemagick/
[09:30] <jason^> i apt-get update; apt-get upgrade and now i can't start x... it says could not open default font 'fixed'
[09:30] <NoUse> spudse read the links ubotu sent you
[09:30] <doug_> is xorg-x11 the same as xserver?
[09:30] <coz> SpaceCake true for normal use but if there are many things accessing the file system at the same time fragmentation happens
[09:31] <emile> nubs0r: why not use nmap to port scan?
[09:31] <nubs0r> emile, it always gives me Caught SIGNIT errors.
[09:31] <nubs0r> emile, to be honest, i hate nmap, but i love Netcat, it hasnt failed me for anything,
[09:31] <spudse> NoUse, beautifull, thanks
[09:32] <coz> does anyone have experience with any of the defrag utilities for linux?
[09:32] <theCore> coz, there are defrag utils but you can only use them on unmounted filesystem
[09:32] <soundray> hramrach, you could try and ocr your pdf.
[09:32] <coz> right theCore
[09:32] <NoUse> coz you don't need to defrag linux disks
[09:32] <emile> nubs0r: sorry i'm not that familiair with netcat
[09:32] <ompaul> coz, in general we don't need them
[09:32] <PR3dLAND> hello
[09:32] <nubs0r> emile, well, i take it  you're familiar with nmap..why is it giving me those errors?
[09:32] <coz> still has anyone experimented iwth them?
[09:32] <soundray> gfish, what's your printer problem?
[09:32] <ompaul> coz, in general the operating system does what it should, and minds the file system
[09:32] <theCore> coz, and most you them are designed for ext2.fs
[09:33] <PR3dLAND> is there a command to use a termial as a web-browser?
[09:33] <nubs0r> emile, i use the sudo nmap -sS -O hostname command, and it always gives me that type of error
[09:33] <hramrach> soundray: that maual elaborates a bit more :)
[09:33] <hramrach> soundray: thanks, converting
[09:33] <NoUse> coz all defraging would do is add risk
[09:33] <coz> correct again but has anyone here ever tried any of the defrag utilities
[09:34] <robotgeek> PR3dLAND: w3m
[09:34] <doug_> can anyone tell me if xorg-x11 is the same as xserver?
[09:34] <PR3dLAND> thxs
[09:34] <ompaul> coz, I have not, and I would never suggest them, I use fsck when I have to but hey why do something you don't have to
[09:35] <emile> nubs0r: if it's your own network why not use nmap -sT, anyway good luck with your scanning activities
[09:35] <theCore> coz, why you want to defrag ?
[09:35] <ompaul> coz, I have never defragged a unix/linux box in 10 years
[09:37] <hawking> is there a way I can make ubuntu detect my camera?
[09:37] <gfish> soundray, i have found the printer it just wont print
[09:37] <mcp_dk> good evening.
[09:38] <theCore> hawking, just plug your camera in the usb port
[09:38] <mcp_dk> How do i get a program like GAIM to launch and connect at startup ?
[09:38] <soundray> gfish, what do you mean when you say "found the printer"
[09:38] <soundray> ?
[09:38] <theCore> mcp_dk, write a script for it
[09:38] <robotgeek> mcp_dk: add it to your session. System -? prsfs -? Session
[09:38] <hawking> theCore: it is already plugged ... to be more exact it is fixed on the top of the screen of my laptop
[09:39] <_jason> mcp_dk, what robotgeek said and also edit the preferences in gaim to connect on startup of the program
[09:39] <mcp_dk> ok i will try that
[09:40] <gfish> soundray, i can see the printer its on the network, and i can find it and its set up and i have no errors i dont think but it just doesnt print
[09:40] <theCore> hawking, oh ... okay, first check if your camera is detected in the system --> admin --> device manager
[09:40] <sorush20> can anyone hear me ?
[09:41] <sorush20> hello
[09:41] <sorush20> ?
[09:41] <theCore> sorush20, hello
[09:41] <soundray> gfish: what's the status message in Properties?
[09:41] <gfish> dunno il look
[09:41] <priich> hello sorush20
[09:41] <gfish> soundray, how do i get to properties im a noob
[09:42] <soundray> gfish, System - Administration - Printing, right click printer symbol, menu properties.
[09:42] <sorush20> right i thought I was banned but it seemes like my question is just too hard.. it about compiling the kernel and whether I need to do it or not because I have been having problems with hotplug system restart and device detection?
[09:42] <Gabriel> Hello, I would like to get spam filtering in evolution, how can I achieve this?
[09:42] <gfish> soundray, status is ready
[09:43] <priich> anyone other than me having trouble with "video for linux" in breezy ? Only seem to get the "test" source working, all other like v4l , v4l2 and zoran mjpeg fails to construct pipeline.
[09:43] <soundray> sorush20, it is a hard question. Nobody knows how difficult you will find it, and nobody knows whether it will solve your problem.
[09:43] <soundray> gfish, what kind of server is the printer on?
[09:43] <sorush20> Gabriel: I know you can get spam filtering in Kmail not sure about evolution?
[09:44] <hawking> theCore: no the camera is not detected
[09:44] <sorush20> shit fuck shit
[09:44] <soundray> hramrach, because the job is in the buffer
[09:44] <hramrach> no, it is in gs, and cups does not kill it
[09:44] <soundray> hramrach, where cups can't get to it anymore.
[09:44] <gfish> soundray,  its plugged into windows pc which is next door
[09:45] <soundray> gfish, and you've set up the PC to share the printer?
[09:45] <hramrach> soundray: it can, it runs under cups user :)
[09:45] <gfish> soundray, yeah its set up
[09:45] <hawking> theCore : any ideaS?
[09:45] <theCore> hawking, try to start gThumb
[09:46] <soundray> hramrach, lpq and lprm #jobno as root (sudo -i)
[09:46] <soundray> hramrach, ?
[09:46] <priich> GAbriel: you can either use the built in filtering capabilities or use spamassasin.
[09:46] <hawking> theCore: it started ... what now?
[09:47] <hramrach> soundray: even then the gs keeps running
[09:47] <gfish> soundray
[09:47] <priich> Gabriel : you might like this article http://software.newsforge.com/software/05/07/01/1521254.shtml?tid=130
[09:47] <som1> is there some way to play .asm files?
[09:47] <gfish> soundray, if i use samba i can find the printer directly
[09:47] <Red-Sox> varsendagger, i have a good amount of time now
[09:47] <Red-Sox> ;)
[09:48] <soundray> gfish, do you get any indication of the job arriving on windows?
[09:48] <soundray> gfish, perhaps check the Jobs list first (again right click on printer symbol)
[09:48] <som1> sorry, how do i play .asp files?
[09:48] <Gabriel> priich, the built in filtering doesn't seem to work...
[09:48] <theCore> hawking, wait a little bit, ubuntu should start a hotplug dialogue, that what i do with my camera
[09:48] <soundray> gfish, is there a backlog of jobs?
[09:49] <theCore> hawking, s/dialogue/dialog/
[09:49] <soundray> hramrach, perhaps you need to sudo killall gs
[09:49] <Gabriel> priich, I'll just read the article first :)
[09:50] <gfish> soundray, i checked all the jobs
[09:50] <hramrach> soundray: yes, but that is annoying
[09:50] <hawking> thecore: /s/dialogue/dialog?
[09:50] <soundray> hramrach, yep.
[09:50] <hramrach> soundray: now gs even locks up on end of jobs :/
[09:51] <hawking> thecore: it has just opened my wallpaper firefox_wallpaper.png... nothing else happens
[09:51] <theCore> hawking lol, that the way I correct errors
[09:51] <tb77> quick question, does ubuntu have any newer kernels then the 2.6.12 or do you have to compile one
[09:52] <soundray> gfish, is there a backlog?
[09:52] <hawking> thecore: and what should i do in this case?
[09:52] <Red-Sox> varsendagger ?
[09:52] <hramrach> not, it is cups what locks up. it's buggy as hell. Good old lpr
[09:53] <theCore> hawking, so you will probably need some custom drivers for the usb ports or the camera
[09:53] <kinetic> hello
[09:53] <hawking> theCore: do you know any place where I can find drivers?
[09:53] <gfish> soundray, no
[09:54] <kinetic> im having problems updating my ubuntu install, i have an icon that says i have 26 updates, but nothing happens when i click it
[09:54] <Red-Sox> my system update thingy says it is unable to get an exclusive look, but nothing else but xchat and xmms are open
[09:54] <gfish> when i change to samba it asks for passwords i didnt set any whilst setting up the network
[09:54] <theCore> hawking, did you try from Import Photos from the gThumb File menu ?
[09:55] <soundray> gfish, any errors in /var/log/cups/error_log ?
[09:55] <theCore> hawking, what is your camera model
[09:55] <soundray> hawking, if your laptop isn't too unusual, you'll find a Linux installation report for it on Tuxmobil, that'll mention the camera, too.
[09:55] <kinetic> kinetic im having problems updating my ubuntu install, i have an icon that says i have 26 updates, but nothing happens when i click it
[09:55] <kinetic> Red-Sox my system update
[09:56] <kinetic> kinetic im having problems updating my ubuntu install, i have an icon that says i have 26 updates, but nothing happens when i click it
[09:56] <kinetic> can somebody help me?
[09:57] <NoUse> kinetic open synaptic, you can update from there
[09:57] <NoUse> !tell kinetic about synaptic
[09:57] <gfish> soundray, i didnt use cups i was using samba
[09:57] <theCore> kinetic, did you try to right clicked ?
[09:57] <hawking> Does any of you know a nice car racing game that I can find in repositories?
[09:58] <gfish> soundray, i had the same problem on cups as samba
[09:58] <slide> Ok, so I want to run X :1 -ac & ( DISPLAY=:1 quake3 ) each time i run quake3 (so it gets put in its own X server and i can switch between gnome and quake), but i can only do that with sudo, but the way its running sudo needs a pass but i cant enter it. What im doing now is just doing sudo ls and then enter the pass and the next line will go through without a pass. Is there anyway to make it say ask for a pass in a dialogue box or something?
[09:58] <moohhh> Hello. The latest security upgrade bring a new version of the kernel (2.6.12-10), but leave the kernel-headers unchanged (still 2.6.12-9). I need to recompile a custom module. Any idea how to do this or when the updated packages will be released?
[09:58] <XamDM> hawking, racer (not in repositories)
[09:58] <soundray> gifsh, you are using cups, not samba.
[09:58] <NoUse> Red-Sox see if dpkg or apt-get is running the backgroud, ps aux | grep dpkg
[09:58] <NoUse> Red-Sox or ps aux | grep apt
[09:58] <soundray> gfish, samba is for sharing local printers across the network
[09:58] <SpaceCake> GDM theme, how to run a xscreensaver in the background ?
[09:58] <NoUse> Red-Sox if so, kill those processes
[09:58] <soundray> gfish, not for remote printing.
[09:59] <hawking> XamDm: where can i find it?
[09:59] <gfish> it is on the network
[09:59] <NoUse> moohhh you can probably use the same headers
[09:59] <gfish> soundray, its on the network
[09:59] <fevoldj2> hi
[09:59] <NoUse> moohhh I doubt there was an API change for the security upgrade
[09:59] <kinetic> Nouse: when i try to run synaptic nothing happens
[09:59] <fevoldj2> Can a Linux distro be installed on a logical drive?
[09:59] <soundray> gfish, I know! It is on a remote Windows box. Samba has nothing to do with it.
[09:59] <SpaceCake> fevoldj2, why not :)
[09:59] <NoUse> kinetic follow the instructions I just sent to Red-sox
[10:00] <XamDM> hawking, http://www.liflg.org/?catid=6&gameid=13
[10:00] <XamDM> hawking, project-page www.racer.nl
[10:00] <fevoldj2> For some reason, I've always thought you needed a pirmary drive
[10:00] <moohhh> NoUse, according to the security announcement, the ABI has been changed. Apart from that the kernel-headers have the wrong version, so the new modules would be compiled for the wrong version.
[10:00] <gfish> soundray, it still wouldnt print on cups
[10:00] <soundray> fevoldj2, not with a modern boot manager.
[10:00] <soundray> gfish, so check the errors in the file I mentioned.
[10:01] <NoUse> moohhh the headers don't need to match the running version exactly
[10:01] <fevoldj2> So with grub you can't?
[10:01] <theCore> what the name of the ubuntu unrelated channel ?
[10:01] <kinetic> No USe im a complete noob to linux i don';t know how to check processes and kill them and sucj :/
[10:01] <soundray> fevoldj2, grub is a modern boot manager (compared to DOS MBR, which required Linux to sit in a primary partition to be bootable)
[10:02] <fevoldj2> Alright, thanks
[10:02] <sethk> fevoldj2, neither lilo nor grub cares about the bootable flag
[10:02] <moohhh> NoUse, hmm ... don't they? Ok, I'll give it a try :) ...
[10:02] <NoUse> kinetic then the easiest thing to do is reboot the  machine
[10:02] <fevoldj2> 'okay ^_^
[10:02] <sethk> fevoldj2, this has nothing to do with primary
[10:02] <gfish> soundray, E [22/Nov/2005:20:49:11 +0000]  [Job 10]  Connection failed with error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
[10:02] <sethk> fevoldj2, you _do_ need at least one primary partition
[10:03] <fevoldj2> Okay
[10:03] <sethk> fevoldj2, but, don't worry, there is no way to create any other kind of partition without creating a primary
[10:03] <soundray> gfish, edit the sharing settings on the Windows box to allow others to print on it.
[10:03] <fevoldj2> Yeah
[10:03] <fevoldj2> Well thanks, that helps
[10:03] <kinetic> NoUse:  i just have, i've tried it several times
[10:03] <gfish> i did
[10:03] <Red-Sox> NoUse, i didnt get any
[10:03] <gfish> but i dunno the pass words
[10:03] <NoUse> kinetic open a terminal and run 'gksudo synaptic'
[10:03] <paul__> Anybody good at Xorg on this channel? I've got a semi-problem with a new install.
[10:04] <Red-Sox> oh, NoUse i c, nevermind
[10:04] <sethk> fevoldj2, the nomenclature can be a bit confusing and some of the windows docs are _very_ sloppy in their usage of terminology
[10:04] <moohhh> NoUse, the compilation script complains about the "directory of kernel headers (version 2.6.12-9-686)" not matching my running kernel "version 2.6.12-10-686" -- and says it wouldn't work. Any idea there?
[10:04] <theCore> kinetic, 'top' is a nice way to check process,( 'ps aux' too ) then use 'kill %PID
[10:04] <kinetic> NoUse: it asks for a password...is this just my root password?
[10:04] <fevoldj2> I really like the man pages, they're much more complete than any Windows help file I've ever seen.
[10:04] <sethk> moohhh, well, it's quite trye that 2.6.12-9-686 is not the same as 2.6.12-10-686
[10:05] <sethk> s/trye/true/
[10:05] <soundray> gfish, I give up. I don't know your password, either.
[10:05] <NoUse> sethk yeah the problem is the kernel upgrade today didn't come with updated headers
[10:05] <paul__> On a Dell SC420, when Ubuntu boots up it starts at 640x480 resolution and won't let me change it. I seemed to remember that Ctrl-Alt-Backspace killed the X server so I did that to see if I could restart it and see error messages.
[10:05] <NoUse> kinetic your password
[10:05] <sethk> NoUse, ugly
[10:05] <gfish> soundray, would it be the routers password
[10:05] <kinetic> ok i did it and nothing is happening....
[10:05] <sethk> NoUse, one more reason to not grab every update _immediately_
[10:05] <paul__> Much to my surprize, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace changed the resolution to 1600-1200.
[10:05] <NoUse> kinetic you might be able to manually point the script to the proper directory
[10:06] <sethk> let somebody else be the lab rat  :)
[10:06] <gfish> soundray, do i use the pc's ip or the routers
[10:06] <sethk> paul__, why to your surprise?
[10:06] <racookier> hi
[10:06] <moohhh> sethk, NoUse, is there any "manual" fix for this? Or should I just post it on ubuntu-users and wait for the upgrade to be uploaded?
[10:06] <paul__> Because I though that keystroke was supposed to kill the X server
[10:06] <NoUse> moohhh just the forums too
[10:06] <NoUse> moohhh check*
[10:07] <sethk> moohhh, I would wait.  I'm sure you aren't the only one making noise about this.
[10:07] <sethk> moohhh, it's just a package issue, not a code issue, so they'll fix it fast
[10:07] <racookier> excuse my words but... How the hell to share printers with Windows Machines?
[10:07] <soundray> gfish, are you on a home network?
[10:07] <moohhh> NoUse, sethk, hmpf ... ok ... thanks anway!
[10:08] <paul__> It's been a while since I used Linux on a home machine (I'm a user, not admin, on some Redhat boxes at work) but I seem to remember some X Windows stuff
[10:08] <sethk> racookier, depends.  Is the printer connected to a windows box?
[10:08] <kinetic> NoUse it seems like these programs don't run when i click them
[10:08] <TokenBad> whats the link for the new 5.10 wiki for all the codecs and installing the drivers for like nvidia and stuff
[10:08] <NoUse> kinetic is this a fresh install?
[10:08] <pder> WHY DO UBUNTU NOT SUPPORT COMPUTER?
[10:08] <sethk> paul__, control-alt-backspace kills the server
[10:08] <soundray> gfish, ie. is anyone on the network likely to abuse your printer?
[10:08] <TokenBad> like the old unofficialubuntu page
[10:08] <sethk> paul__, control-alt-+ (-) cycle through resolutions
[10:08] <_jason> !faq
[10:08] <ubotu> [faq]  The Ubuntu FAQ Guide is: select System -> Help (in Breezy), or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDocumentation or http://help.ubuntu.com
[10:09] <XamDM> pder, ??
[10:09] <sethk> pder, what support?  etch-a-sketch?
[10:09] <longfei> who can you tell me,how i can use MSN with webcam in Ubuntu??
[10:09] <paul__> sethk, that's not what happened on this box, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace changed the resolution
[10:09] <theCore> what the name of the ubuntu unrelated channel ?
[10:09] <gfish> soundray, probs not
[10:09] <crimsun> -offtopic
[10:09] <NoUse> XamDM sethk ignore him, he does this every now and then
[10:09] <paul__> which is what I wanted to do, but the change doesn't stick through a reboot
[10:09] <sethk> paul__, that is odd.  keyboard mapping issue?
[10:09] <XamDM> NoUse, ah he i a spammer
[10:09] <quail_linux> Signs You're Having Thanksgiving Dinner with a Geek http://www.bbspot.com/News/2005/11/top_11_geek_thanksgiving.html
[10:09] <paul__> sethk, this is a brand new install I downloaded Ubuntu yesterday and installed today.
[10:09] <NoUse> XamDM cant tell, its between a spammer and a moron
[10:10] <XamDM> damn my s themes to be broken
[10:10] <surfdue> does lighttpd have a package?
[10:10] <soundray> gfish, then set your Windows box to allow access to the printer for anyone with no password.
[10:10] <paul__> sethk, only thing I've done so far is let it run the automated update
[10:10] <XamDM> NoUse, my english i a bit bad..., what is a moron ??
[10:10] <sethk> paul__, I just checked on two of my boxes and I'm seeing the normal behavior
[10:10] <NoUse> XamDM person of less than average intellect :-)
[10:10] <sethk> XamDM, a guy who throws clocks out of windows
[10:10] <racookier> excuse my words but... How the hell to share printers with Windows Machines?
[10:11] <paul__> sethk, if I log in at 640x480 then when I try the System/Preferences/Screen Resolution tool all it shows is 640x480
[10:11] <NoUse> racookier ubotu sent you links about samba, have you read them?
[10:11] <XamDM> NoUse, sethk, thx
[10:11] <gfish> soundray, how would i go about doing that?
[10:11] <sethk> paul__, that usually means it didn't identify the video chipset, and reverted to a generic vga driver
[10:11] <paul__> sethk, if I hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace at the login screen it changes resoltion to 1600x1200 and everything is fine
[10:11] <soundray> gfish, you will need to ask in a Windows group for that.
[10:11] <foxgamer> Anyone running xfce able to help me with a problem with not being able to change settings?
[10:11] <paul__> sethk, except that when I reboot it goes back to 640x480
[10:12] <racookier> yes... i follow the steps, add the printer, but someone can did it ?
[10:12] <frand> hello. can somebody help me install beatrix linux? i don't understand the error message
[10:12] <paul__> sethk, I can't find any relevant errors in /var/logs/Xorg.0.log
[10:12] <sethk> paul__, or that it didn't identify the monitor.  None of that is consistent, though, with switching to 166x12
[10:12] <gfish> soundray, ok thanks.
[10:12] <sethk> paul__, you don't tell it anything about your monitor?
[10:12] <racookier> under windows the samba show the printer, but <this port it's unavailable> message it's the result
[10:13] <sethk> paul__, I'm thinking perhaps you tell it that the monitor can do 16x12, but don't save it, so when it reboots, it reverts
[10:13] <paul__> sethk, I don't think so. I don't think anything in the install prompted for Monitor info
[10:13] <kinetic> NoUse, anyone: i cant start synaptic or run the ubunto update, synaptic asked me for a password so i typed in my password for the machine and nothing happened after i hit enter
[10:13] <sethk> paul__, it usually doesn't prompt, no.
[10:13] <sethk> paul__, I was thinking of when you went into the config screen
[10:13] <NoUse> kinetic what happens if you run 'sudo apt-get upgrade' and type your password
[10:13] <sethk> paul__, because you said it showed only 640x480
[10:13] <sethk> paul__, try this.  after switching to 16x12 with the key combination, go into the configuration dialog and see if more resolutions are listed
[10:14] <kinetic> NoUse: nothing
[10:14] <Knowerrors> Hi all, when you're at a tty console and do ps -aux or ls, and the list is too long to view on one page, how do you make the output one page at a time?
[10:14] <sethk> paul__, something is forcing it to do a probe, I'm thinking
[10:14] <NoUse> kinetic is this a fresh install?
[10:14] <sethk> Knowerrors, ls whatever | more
[10:14] <kinetic> NoUSe yes it is
[10:14] <NoUse> kinetic something is messed up
[10:14] <GregAsche> I'm trying to be able to print from a windows computer to a printer that is connected to this computer with ubuntu installed on it, what do I need to do to get this going?
[10:14] <racookier> ls |more or ls |less
[10:14] <kinetic> NoUse grarg ;(
[10:15] <NoUse> kinetic I think the easiest thing to do would be to put a fresh install on it
[10:15] <xxvii> anyone help me quick.. i've never set up a printer on a linux system before. i have a really old printer (Xante AccelaWriter 8200). anyone help me get it set up?
[10:15] <racookier> i'm asking same GregAsche
[10:15] <GregAsche> gah
[10:15] <kinetic> NoUse what could be wrong, i installed all the packages on the cd
[10:15] <sethk> xxvii, use the linuxprinting or cups web site
[10:16] <NoUse> kinetic the sudo package seems corrupted and that is a problem
[10:16] <sethk> kinetic, that's normal, actually
[10:16] <sethk> kinetic, except the sudo part, that may be
[10:16] <xxvii> sethk: k, i'll see what i can find
[10:16] <Knowerrors> thx sethk
[10:16] <sethk> kinetic, what if you do sudo gnome-app-install   ?
[10:16] <kinetic> NoUse can i reinstall sudo?
[10:16] <moohhh> NoUse, sethk, hello again, it seems that the packages are actually available, but the security upgrade doesn't install them automatically. While the upgrade system knows about the new kernel which has to be installed (which as I just saw is a new package on its own as well, not just a new version of the same package name), the same mechanism doesn't work for the kernel-headers. I have no idea why (if you might know, please
[10:16] <moohhh> enlighten me), otherwise it should be fine ... sorry 'bout the fuzz.
[10:16] <sethk> xxvii, there is an online program to generate a driver
[10:17] <NoUse> kinetic you'd need sudo to reinstall it :-/
[10:17] <xxvii> sethk: k, thanks
[10:17] <Red-Sox> what is the command to untar a file name?
[10:17] <Red-Sox> file*
[10:17] <sethk> moohhh, sounds like the dependencies may not be set correctly in the package.  Or perhaps that's intentional, as many people install the kernel, but not the headers
[10:17] <NoUse> tar -xf filename.tar
[10:17] <sethk> Red-Sox, tar xvf
[10:17] <Red-Sox> o
[10:17] <sethk> Red-Sox, the - with tar is an error, although linux tolerates it
[10:18] <surfdue> hey how do I get my gigafast card working on ubuntu?
[10:18] <sethk> Red-Sox, the v is optional (verbose)
[10:18] <kinetic> NoUse ic, well can i check anything to see if sudo is installed at all  because if i reinstall my distro won't it do the same thing?
[10:18] <kinetic> nouse i didn't get any errors on install
[10:18] <NoUse> kinetic sudo is installed, if it wasn't you'd get a command not found
[10:19] <sethk> kinetic, odds are, yes, it will
[10:19] <moohhh> sethk, yup, but there seems to be a mechanism which knows about the fact that it should install a new package (the kernel-image). The same mechanism could be used for the kernel-headers as well, I guess. Anyway, the module seems to compile and load fine now. Thanks again!
[10:19] <NoUse> kinetic did you verify the CD image when you downloaded it?
[10:19] <GregAsche> I'm trying to be able to print from a windows computer to a printer that is connected to this computer with ubuntu installed on it, what do I need to do to get this going?
[10:19] <topyli> i got my phone talking to my ubuntu machine ok, and i'm pretty happy. i'd like to know if there's a nicer gui for file transfer than gnome-bluetooth supplies though? is there any?
[10:19] <sethk> kinetic, nouse has a good point
[10:20] <kinetic> Nouse is there a way to install without the cd, maybe the cd is messed up, can i do an internet install?
[10:20] <sethk> kinetic, you can also download the live cd and see if it behaves correctly
[10:20] <NoUse> kinetic did you see my previous question?
[10:20] <sethk> kinetic, you can download and burn a new cd
[10:20] <[A] ndy80> hi
[10:20] <kinetic> sethk i have the live cd also, nouse i used shipit and got about ten copies of the cd
[10:21] <NoUse> kinetic then the CD should be fine
[10:21] <[A] ndy80> I'm trying to compile a QT application, but I get this error: checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0.3) (headers and libraries) not found. which pachage do I have to install?
[10:21] <paul__> sethk, The config screen I'm talking about is the Screen Resolution Preferences. It doesn't have any info about monitors. And yes, more resolutions are listed after I do a Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
[10:21] <NoUse> kinetic I would try installing it again
[10:21] <sethk> [A] ndy80, usually that means that the QTDIR environment variable is not set.  Check LD_LIBRARY_PATH also
[10:21] <sethk> [A] ndy80, and also PATH for qtdesigner
[10:22] <paul__> sethk, you're probably right about something probing, but I don't know what or how to get it to do it automatically
[10:22] <Snellgrove> Lo
[10:22] <sethk> paul__, well, let's see if I'm right, then we can try to figure out why it happens.
[10:22] <sethk> paul__, if I'm right I'd expect the drop down list to show more than just 640x480 after the change
[10:22] <racookier> under windows the samba show the printer, but <this port it's unavailable> message it's the result
[10:23] <[A] ndy80> sethk: LD_..... is empty. But.... isn't there a way to set them automatically when you install -dev libraries?
[10:23] <sethk> racookier, you got your it's and is mixed up there.
[10:23] <sethk> [A] ndy80, I've not found one, no.
[10:23] <paul__> sethk, you're right about that. After Ctrl-Alt-Backspace I see 1600x1200, 1280x1040, 1040x768, 800x600, and 640x480
[10:23] <paul__> sethk, all of which are in the Xorg.conf file
[10:24] <sethk> paul__, after the control-alt-backspace, does the X log file change?
[10:24] <sethk> paul__, anything added to it at the end, or does the whole thing change?
[10:24] <sethk> paul__, I think I know what's happening
[10:24] <sethk> paul__, control-alt-backspace _does_ kill the X server.  The next thing that happens is that the X server auto-restarts
[10:24] <paul__> well, I think I'll copy the log file, c-a-b, and then diff them
[10:24] <sethk> paul__, which is the normal behavior for control-alt-backspace (restarting, that is)
[10:25] <Stormx2> uhg
[10:25] <Stormx2> I need activex
[10:25] <[A] ndy80> sethk: anyway.... can you tell me the package I've to install to get them? It's possible I installed the wrong package...
[10:25] <Stormx2> :|
[10:26] <emg> hey all
[10:26] <sethk> [A] ndy80, on my box it installed as a dependency, so I didn't note the package name.  But synaptic should find it for you with the search function.
[10:27] <sethk> [A] ndy80, I believe there are only two for qt, run and dev
[10:27] <GregAsche> can someone help me set up samba so I can share my printer?
[10:27] <emg> anyone know how to install the kernel sources? can't find them on the cd...
[10:27] <paul__> sethk, I think you're right. I just hit c-a-b and it was more or less equivalent to logging out, everything disappeared, there was a pause and then I got a login screen
[10:27] <sethk> paul__, I wonder if there is a DRI module that your software needs, which hasn't been loaded yet when the first X start occurs
[10:27] <paul__> Dangerous keystroke. no warning, it just killed everything
[10:28] <kinetic> hello again, i went to my usr/sbin/synaptic and i click it "you need to be root to run this program"
[10:28] <diubidone> how do i install the w32codecs .deb?
[10:28] <sethk> paul__, yes, that is quite true.
[10:28] <sethk> kinetic, be root
[10:28] <kinetic> how do i become root to run it
[10:28] <emg> sudo -s
[10:28] <Marlun> How can I change what partition grub has as a default choise for booting? I've got 3 partitions with windows/ubuntu1/ubuntu2. If I start the computer and just wait it boots from ubuntu2 (hda3), but I want it to boot from ubuntu1 (hda2).
[10:29] <sethk> kinetic, sudo /usr/sbin/synaptic
[10:29] <paul__> sethk, well there's a line in Xorg.0.log about disabling DRI
[10:29] <sethk> paul__, even after the 16x12 restart?
[10:29] <paul__> sethk, (II) I810(0): 16100 kBytes additional video memory is required to enable DRI.
[10:29] <paul__> (II) I810(0): Disabling DRI.
[10:29] <diubidone> Hey when i insert my pen drive it won't mount how come?
[10:30] <diubidone> it says only root can do it
[10:30] <kinetic> i tried to log in as root in my login screen but it says that the admin can't log in from there
[10:30] <sethk> paul__, that isn't necessarily wrong, for some configurations X does disable DRI intentionally
[10:30] <kinetic> sethk nothing happens when i do that
[10:30] <SirKillalot> how do I send/receive files over irda with my nokia cell?
[10:31] <tsw> how can I see what packages are installed with apt?
[10:31] <j^> hola, does anyone know if there is some powersave mode for external harddisk in ubuntu?
[10:31] <mcgyver> hoi, ben voor het eerst op een xchat
[10:31] <sethk> kinetic, not possible.  you don't get a program, you don't get a message, you don't even get another prompt?
[10:31] <moo> hi, can someone explain to me why apt-get install mozilla fails on a BB ubuntu system? i have a 3 line paste of the error from apt-get if that's allowed
[10:31] <paul__> sethk,  diffing the Xorg.0.log against the one I'd backed up (already at 1600x1200) is identical except for date
[10:31] <emg> anyone know how to install the kernel sources? can't seem to find them on the cd...
[10:31] <SirKillalot> irda link works fine cat /proc/net/irda/discover shows my phone
[10:31] <kinetic> sethk well i get another prompt
[10:31] <paul__> sethk, I haven't done a reboot to compare logfiles
[10:31] <sethk> paul__, and the disabling dri is in both?
[10:31] <SirKillalot> tsw, synaptics
[10:31] <ompaul> moo, put the paste in paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[10:31] <tsw> SirKillalot: no x on this machine
[10:32] <SirKillalot> tsw, dpkg -l
[10:32] <paul__> sethk, yes, but the backed up log is from after the first time I did a c-a-b
[10:32] <sethk> paul__, I'm not sure that the reboot would tell us much, but it might.  rebooting to get it isn't a bad idea
[10:32] <dawnfading> is there a way to load a program entirely in memory and then run it in ubuntu?
[10:32] <simon__> got a stuck terminal window on my panel. despite closing terminal when i re-boot low and behold its there agin
[10:32] <tsw> SirKillalot: thanks
[10:32] <sethk> paul__, right.  my theory about dri is wrong, then.
[10:32] <moo> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4864
[10:32] <moo> there is the error
[10:32] <racookier> how to print from windows machines ? --- under windows the samba show the printer, but <this port it's unavailable> message it's the result
[10:32] <moo> i dont understand it
[10:32] <Grock> is this the place for help with ubuntu live?
[10:32] <GregAsche> can someone help me set up samba so I can share my printer?
[10:32] <Snellgrove> Lo
[10:32] <kinetic> sethk well i get another prompt
[10:33] <ubuntu> hi
[10:33] <sethk> kinetic, do you know your root password?
[10:33] <ubuntu> hi
[10:33] <paul__> sethk, I think I will reboot and diff. I think you're on the right track when you say that c-a-b causes some sort of probe that doesn't happen on normal bootup
[10:33] <kinetic> sethk yes i do
[10:33] <sethk> paul__, I think so to, but I don't know why yet
[10:33] <sethk> kinetic, do su
[10:33] <moo> hi, can someone explain to me why apt-get install mozilla fails on a BB ubuntu system? http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4864 is the error message
[10:33] <sethk> kinetic, that will prompt you for the password
[10:33] <paul__> sethk, be back in a bit, rebooting now
[10:34] <sethk> kinetic, then when you get another prompt, do  /usr/sbin/synaptic
[10:34] <sethk> kinetic, that should hopefully get a message about why it is quitting
[10:34] <racookier> GregAsche to add printer it's easy to really print it's hard
[10:34] <strav> linux noob over here... I'm testing out pure data, a music software, and apparently it has some problems loading the ALSA lib seq_hw.c in my dev/snd/ directory... I tried diabling the Alsa audio source in the multimedia system selector with no sucess, pure data still won't load... More over, when I test the alsa pipeline, I don't get any sound.
[10:34] <[A] ndy80> another question: how do I search for a package that provides a certain file?
[10:34] <jfletcher> hry, anyone installed apache2 on ubuntu?
[10:34] <xxvii> sethk: linuxprinting.org doesnt even have the company Xante as an option.. what other suggestions did you have?
[10:34] <shutdownrunner> [A] ndy80:packages.ubuntu.com
[10:35] <ubuntu> does anyone know how to read a ntfs partition from ubuntu?
[10:35] <sethk> xxvii, is the printer compatible with any other, more common ones?
[10:35] <jfletcher> ubuntu: you can just mount it.
[10:35] <sethk> ubuntu, mount -t ntfs /dev/whatever /mnt/whatever
[10:35] <Grock> what's a good partition tool for ubuntu?
[10:35] <kinetic> sethk i did it u typed su then my root pwd the /uusr/sbin/synaptic and it worked....why does it work on my other machines but i have to do it this way on here?
[10:35] <racookier> ubuntu, in fstab include "/dev/hdxxx /cwin ntfs defaults 0 0 0"
[10:35] <fr500> does the ubuntu net config dialog allow for ipv6 configuration?
[10:36] <foxgamer> Hi all. Where/who would I speak to about a possible error in the repositories?
[10:36] <dawnfading> no-one knows how to load a program permanently (for a session) in memory?
[10:36] <xxvii> sethk: i have no clue. i know i can find a driver for windows. never looked for one for linux
[10:36] <Amaranth> foxgamer: here, for now
[10:36] <moo> hi, can someone explain to me why apt-get install mozilla fails on a BB ubuntu system? http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4864 is the error message
[10:36] <sethk> kinetic, you need to add permission to run synaptic to the sudo file for your user
[10:36] <ompaul> moo, that is strange, can you paste the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list in the pastebin please
[10:36] <strav> btw, as I've seen in some forums, this issue with alsa seems to be pretty common and extended to other softwares as well in ubuntu...
[10:36] <sethk> xxvii, maybe the name of the windows driver might be a clue.  (Like maybe it is something like hp1000   :)    )
[10:36] <kinetic> sethk how would i do this (n00bie here)
[10:36] <moo> ya its REALLY strange, specially since apt works otherwise....gimme a sec ill paste it
[10:36] <sethk> kinetic, there is a file, /etc/sudoers
[10:36] <doub> dawnfading, just run the program, it'll go into memory
[10:37] <Amaranth> moo: You have a weird sources.list
[10:37] <jfletcher> hey, anyone installed apache2 on ubuntu?
[10:37] <xxvii> sethk: alright, thanks again.. i'll see what i can find
[10:37] <GregAsche> can someone help me set up samba so I can share my printer?
[10:37] <dawnfading> doub, so if you run it repeatedly it should be faster the second time?
[10:37] <sethk> kinetic, you edit it with visudo
[10:37] <foxgamer> Ah. Thank you Amaranth. Well, it has been suggested (through a problem I'm having) from xfce chatroom that there could be a problem with 'xfce'. I downloaded it today, and I am having problems running most of the programs.
[10:37] <moo> ompaul: http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4865
[10:37] <moo> there is my sources.list
[10:37] <simon__> gregaasche is printer on xp machine or ubuntu box?
[10:38] <Amaranth> foxgamer: That would be a problem withe the programs themselves (or an installation error), not an archive error.
[10:38] <SoulPropagation> Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[10:38] <SoulPropagation> what's the package for that
[10:38] <doub> dawnfading, it should, but that's not mandatory. that's because all libraries are already relocated and linked. you can also install prelink, which can take care of doing this in advance
[10:38] <lightbright> hello
[10:38] <ompaul> moo, let us start at the beginning, if this does not fix it then I will alter that file and it will work
[10:38] <Amaranth> SoulPropagation: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:38] <moo> mmkay
[10:38] <Amaranth> SoulPropagation: make sure dri is selected in the list
[10:38] <ompaul> moo, sudo apt-get update
[10:38] <SoulPropagation> Amaranth: gotcha
[10:39] <ompaul> moo, sudo apt-get upgrade
[10:39] <lightbright> how can I empty my trash can when it keeps saying I dont have permission to empy it?
[10:39] <moo> already did
[10:39] <vbgunz> lightbright: Chances are you have something in there that might belong to root
[10:39] <[A] ndy80> sethk: my LD.... contains: /usr/include/qt3/ but when I run ./configure it still cannot find them :(
[10:39] <lightbright> i get mnessage that says I dont have permission to delete files from trash can!  any help?
[10:39] <racookier> GregAsche, go to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWinXP?highlight=%28printer%29... you will find how to show the printer, but obtain a print, i waiting for
[10:39] <Amaranth> lightbright: you put some files in there you don't have permission to delete, run sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*
[10:39] <dawnfading> doub . okay, i guess
[10:39] <foxgamer> Ah, okaly. Thanks anyway Amaranth :)
[10:39] <lightbright> vbgunz: so whats the solution please?
[10:39] <lightbright> Amaranth: ah ok
[10:40] <lightbright> Amaranth: I type: run sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*  ?
[10:40] <SoulPropagation> looks like dri's on, Amaranth
[10:40] <simon__> nice one racookier for gregashe
[10:40] <Amaranth> lightbright: permissions are weird, you can move things but not delete them :P
[10:40] <sethk> [A] ndy80, I believe that you need LD_LIBRARY_PATH with qt even though you've set up the dynamic loader config.
[10:40] <lightbright> Amaranth: yeah :)  so all I ever need to type in that case is "run sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*" ?
[10:40] <vbgunz> The only thing I know how to do is to hit ALT+F2 and login with "gksudo nautilus"... Then browse to your home directory with nautilus and find your .Trash directory and delete everything inside...
[10:40] <Amaranth> lightbright: no, you open a terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) and type `sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*` (no quotes)
[10:41] <[A] ndy80> sethk: I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, what do I have to set now?
[10:41] <vbgunz> Amaranth: yeah... you see why command line is better ;)
[10:41] <moo> its grabbin kernel source it'll be a sec
[10:41] <kinetic> sethk how do i open etc/sudoers with visudo?
[10:41] <lightbright> Amaranth: cool :)  so I type sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*  in terminal, thanks :)
[10:41] <vbgunz> I only had the problem once a long time ago and that solved it for me...
[10:41] <simon__> GregAsche or try this:http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=92730&highlight=share+printer+windows
[10:41] <Phazeman> hi all. can someone please tell me how do i see what apps are currently installed ? something like urpmq or qpkg
[10:41] <sethk> kinetic, if you are root, you just run visudo
[10:41] <Phazeman> sethk: cli
[10:42] <sethk> kinetic, if you are you, you run su visudo
[10:42] <eedge> I just smacked in a win2k disk as secondary on this ubuntu box, how do I configure grub to pick it up? is there a grub config util?
[10:42] <ubuntu> does anyone know what good is totem media player for?
[10:42] <ubuntu> i can't play any media files with it
[10:42] <lightbright> Amaranth: when I typed sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*  it didnt ask for a password, how come>
[10:42] <sethk> eedge, has nothing to do with grub
[10:42] <holycow> i didn't know "SMACKING" was allowed around here
[10:42] <holycow> who let the liberals in?
[10:42] <holycow> :)
[10:42] <Phazeman> trappist: here ?
[10:42] <Amaranth> lightbright: If you've run something from the Administration menu or used sudo recently it's cached
[10:43] <COLT> Hello guys I have just installed KUBUNTU
[10:43] <doub> dawnfading, install the prelink package and look at the fine manual, everything is explained there
[10:43] <GregAsche> thanks simon__
[10:43] <kinetic> sethk oh i have it open now what ;/?
[10:43] <dawnfading> thanks doub
[10:43] <ubuntu> i want to install kubunte
[10:43] <SoulPropagation> lightbright: cuz it's your stuff (i.e. in /home/[you] ) so you don't need to sudo to mess with it
[10:43] <trappist> Phazeman: hey
[10:43] <simon__> how do i get rid of 'stuck' apps in my panel. they stil ther on re-boot even though i delete them
[10:43] <COLT> How can I configure lan in kubuntu
[10:43] <strav> ... I'm still looking for that seq_hw.c library... Does anyone know a prog from witch synaptic could download it as a dependency?
[10:43] <doub> dawnfading, np
[10:43] <diubidone> hey all how do i mount a pen drive?
[10:43] <paul__> sethk, Some definite differences here. This one looks promising. < (II) I810(0): VESA VBE DDC Level none   on the 640 and   > (II) I810(0): VESA VBE DDC Level 2    on the 1600
[10:43] <trappist> strav: install apt-file, run apt-file update, and say apt-file search seq_hw.c
[10:44] <moo> ompaul, I did apt-get update; apt-get upgrade, and i still get the same error attempting to apt-get install mozilla
[10:44] <paul__> Anybody know what that means?
[10:44] <Grock> does Gparted work with ubuntu?
[10:44] <Amaranth> diubidone: plug it in and it should work
[10:44] <selinium> Phazeman, All applications or a selected few?
[10:44] <ompaul> moo, k gime a min
[10:44] <sethk> paul__, it's definiely a probe difference.  Why, though, I can't say off hand
[10:44] <simon__> please how do i get kde if i have gnome set up
[10:44] <diubidone> no it doesn't
[10:44] <lightbright> SoulPropagation: so why then did I get message about not having permission to empty trash can?
[10:44] <diubidone> is there a way to make it work again like that?
[10:44] <sethk> paul__, my bet is still on a kernel module.  do lsmod, see if any video related kernel modules are loaded.
[10:44] <paul__> sethk, oh and this too, right below it      < (II) I810(0): VESA VBE DDC read failed
[10:45] <sethk> paul__, on the initial (640) one?
[10:45] <Phazeman> selinium: i want to search through the installed packages list and grep for something
[10:45] <Phazeman> hey there trappist
[10:45] <trappist> Phazeman: dpkg -l | grep ^ii
[10:45] <SoulPropagation> lightbright: i don't know, that's strange
[10:45] <paul__> sethk, yes. I'm going to google for VESA VBE DDC unless you know what it means
[10:45] <selinium> Phazeman, what trappist said!
[10:45] <strav> trappist:  nice shot bro.
[10:45] <Phazeman> trappist: no dpkg here for some reason
[10:45] <Amaranth> diubidone: not that i know of, it always just works for me
[10:45] <lightbright> Amaranth: is this a Ubuntu bug when it kept saying not having permisssion to empty trash can seeing its located on my /home folder anyway?
[10:45] <sethk> paul__, good idea.  I have a vague idea but google will have a better one.  :)
[10:45] <SoulPropagation> trappist: don'tcha mean /e/grep?
[10:45] <trappist> paul__: if you're on ubuntu, I promise you have dpkg
[10:45] <lightbright> SoulPropagation: must be a bug
[10:45] <trappist> SoulPropagation: not necessary
[10:45] <Amaranth> lightbright: Just because it's in your home folder doesn't mean you own it.
[10:46] <ubuntu> how do i find dpkg?
[10:46] <ubuntu> wheres dpkg?
[10:46] <selinium> trappist. Why ^ii and not ii?
[10:46] <trappist> selinium: ^ means match the beginning of the line
[10:46] <lightbright> Amaranth: I copied some stuff from my other system and then deleted it!  so I guess thats why It saud no permission
[10:46] <kinetic> sethk ok i edited my file thx for all your help!!!!!
[10:46] <Phazeman> lol it's odd :) i can't run dpkg with sudo :)
[10:46] <selinium> trappist, Cheers!
[10:46] <kinetic> sethk i got it tto open
[10:46] <trappist> selinium: so it won't match if you have an uninstalled package called virii or something
[10:46] <sethk> kinetic, good.  :)
[10:46] <Phazeman> trappist: it will ask for password and won't accept mine
[10:46] <selinium> Trappist, indeed, damn you type fast!
[10:47] <trappist> Phazeman: dpkg -l should not ask for a password
[10:47] <Phazeman> got it working
[10:47] <Phazeman> thanks anyway
[10:47] <lightbright> Amaranth: whats the command I can type in /home that will change all permissions of every file in /home and all the subdirectories please>?
[10:47] <SoulPropagation> why does it say DRI is not enabled, when it is?
[10:47] <selinium> trappist, dpkg is sudoers only
[10:47] <trappist> lightbright: you don't want to do that
[10:47] <Amaranth> lightbright: You don't want to mess with permissions like that.
[10:47] <trappist> lightbright: some files in your home directory HAVE to have the permissions they have
[10:48] <ompaul> moo http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4868 <<-- I just removed the us.archive and left you with archive it should work
[10:48] <lightbright> trappist: like what?
[10:48] <SoulPropagation> chmod -r 0755 $(ls ~)
[10:48] <trappist> SoulPropagation: it's -R
[10:48] <COLT> Can somebody help me
[10:48] <trappist> lightbright: like the stuff in ~/.ssh
[10:48] <SoulPropagation> i always mess that up
[10:48] <sethk> trappist, well, some have to have those permissions if you want things to work correctly.  :)
[10:48] <trappist> right
[10:48] <axisys> hi all
[10:48] <lightbright> trappist: what happens if that gets changed to username?
[10:48] <Grock> what's a good graphical program to partition hard drives?
[10:49] <SoulPropagation> Grock: qtparted
[10:49] <dsas> probably not a good plan to let everyone access your private keys and things though :)
[10:49] <trappist> lightbright: you want to change ownership, or permissions?  they're different.  feel free to chown -R lightbright /home/lightbright
[10:49] <COLT> I have just installed KUBUNTU. But I can not configure LAN and access windows file system. Help me Please
[10:49] <axisys> anyone knows of a app to use to serial connect to a linux box
[10:49] <Grock> SoulPropogation: is that easy to setup?
[10:49] <axisys> minicom seems not working for me
[10:49] <lightbright> trappist: yes sorry thats what I meant!  owership only
[10:49] <paul__> sethk, nothing terribly informative from google. VBE is VESA BIOS Extension, but nothing really useful on the error specifically.
[10:49] <SoulPropagation> sudo apt-get install qtparted
[10:50] <Grock> simple
[10:50] <paul__> sethk, something's definitely not getting probed successfully on intial startup, though
[10:50] <Grock> thanks
[10:50] <lightbright> trappist: I copied stuff from my CD and need to change many folders ownership!  can I type this from /home:  sudo chown -R username:username ./*  ?
[10:50] <moo> ompaul: I swapped out my sources.list, did apt-get update and tried again and im still getting the same error
[10:50] <trappist> lightbright: yes
[10:50] <sethk> paul__, did we do lsmod, and look for video related modules?
[10:50] <lightbright> trappist: so its safe to change all owenership in /home?
[10:50] <lightbright> trappist: ok thanks :)
[10:51] <SoulPropagation> lightbright: yes.
[10:51] <lightbright> brb
[10:51] <trappist> lightbright: but just make it sudo chown -R username:username directoryname
[10:51] <lexhider> turned on nautilus spatial, windows are opening on top of each other (and obscuring prev window) instead of next to each other, how do I fix???
[10:51] <ompaul> moo, what is annoying me is that I have the that version installed here
[10:51] <sethk> paul__, I said dri isn't doing it, but kernel modules is one thing that can be different at different points during the install.
[10:51] <trappist> lightbright: else you'll miss hidden files and folders
[10:51] <moo> heh
[10:51] <sethk> paul__, that may not be a good direction to look, though; I would expect all kernel modules to be in place at that point
[10:51] <lightbright> trappist: but there are many directories to be done!  is there an easier way than have to do 1 at a time?
[10:51] <sethk> paul__, unless a relevant one get's loaded as a dependency.  But that's far fetched.
[10:51] <ompaul> moo, is that a vanilla version?
[10:52] <moo> what?
[10:52] <ompaul> moo, is that a vanilla install?
[10:52] <moo> i guess
[10:52] <moo> ya
[10:52] <moo> i installed it from a BB install cd
[10:52] <mtupper> hey doodz, i am having a brutal day...  my story: 1 month of exp with ubuntu 5.1 on my laptop partitioned from its original C: and D: partitions with XP Pro...  today, from one day to the next, I cant boot in KDE nor Gnome, nor Failsafe Gnome... only Failsafe Terminal.
[10:52] <trappist> lightbright: do it to the parent directory then.  -R is recursive.
[10:52] <dirkvdbroek> Hello where can I find information on how to contribute a package to the multiverse rep?
[10:52] <lightbright> SoulPropagation: what exactly will this command do?  sudo chown -R username:username ./*  ?
[10:53] <lightbright> trappist: so whats the full command I type from parent direvtory?  sudo chown -R username:username ./* ?
[10:53] <moo> chowns recursively all ur dot files
[10:53] <GMachine_24> thanks to whomever pointed out 'qtparted'
[10:53] <SoulPropagation> lightbright: wrong command. "sudo chown -R username /home/you" will make everything in your folder /yours/
[10:53] <trappist> lightbright: sudo chown -R username:username parentdirectoryname
[10:53] <moo> ~/.* would make more sense i think
[10:53] <paul__> sethk, lsmod shows lots of modules but I don't know what I'm looking for. I could reboot again and compare an lsmod before and after c-a-b
[10:53] <trappist> moo: you'll miss hidden files and folders if you do that
[10:53] <Marlun> What apps do I need to rip from CDs to .ogg files?
[10:53] <axisys> anyone can help with minicom
[10:54] <lexhider> sound-juicer
[10:54] <GMachine_24> Marlun: Juicer
[10:54] <moo> hm
[10:54] <moo> reallY?
[10:54] <ompaul> moo have you got an issue with mozilla-firefox?
[10:54] <trappist> Marlun: abcde or grip or sound-juicer
[10:54] <stevio> Quick question. Can anybody tell me how I copy all the files from one directory in the terminal
[10:54] <moo> im running firefox just fine
[10:54] <dirkvdbroek> Hello, does anyone here know where I can contribute a package to ubuntu?
[10:54] <lightbright> SoulPropagation:  ah ok!  So all I need to type is:  sudo chown -R username /home/light  and this will change all directories and contens to my username light?
[10:54] <moo> but i wanted to switch to mozilla
[10:54] <mtupper> my error reads: "The following installation problem was detected while trying to start KDE: No write access to: '/home/user/.ICEauthority'.  KDE is unable to start."  then it just kicks me back to the Ubuntu login splash screen...
[10:54] <trappist> moo: the shell expands * to non-hidden files and directories
[10:54] <moo> also i have the mozilla mail installed
[10:54] <lexhider> cp -rv
[10:54] <moo> trappist, ur right, I forgot all about that
[10:54] <surfdue> is tehre any pacakges i can install to reconize my network card?
[10:54] <paul__> sethk, rebooting again. be back in a bit
[10:54] <ompaul> dirkvdbroek, join #ubuntu-motu start your conversation there
[10:54] <ompaul> moo, okay fair enough
[10:54] <Marlun> GMachine_24: Juicer, ok will check it out.
[10:55] <SoulPropagation> lightbright: light, not username :P
[10:55] <Marlun> trappist: will check those out too :)
[10:55] <stevio> cp -rv, thanks
[10:55] <mp3guy> how do i stop programs making .bak files?
[10:55] <GMachine_24> Marlun: it's part of the basic installation package
[10:55] <trappist> Marlun: abcde is a hella sweet console app
[10:55] <trappist> mp3guy: depends on the program
[10:55] <lightbright> SoulPropagation: is this right?  sudo chown -R light:light /home/light  ?
[10:55] <surfdue> i have a gigafast card, it uses realtech chips
[10:56] <trappist> lightbright: yes
[10:56] <lightbright> trappist: yippe ;)
[10:56] <lightbright> got it thanks
[10:56] <moo> maybe having FF installed is tripping apt up when i try to install moz?
[10:56] <GregAsche> can someone help me set up samba so I can share my printer?
[10:56] <Marlun> trappist: hehe okey :P
[10:56] <SoulPropagation> moo: prob'ly not
[10:56] <Marlun> GMachine_24: I don't install the basic installation package.
[10:56] <GMachine_24> Marlun: ahh, ok
[10:57] <moo> hm i actually have a 'mozilla' executable but when i run it firefox comes up
[10:57] <lightbright> trappist: and I type that command from /home/light ?
[10:57] <trappist> lightbright: from wherever
[10:57] <lightbright> trappist: or can I be anywhere?
[10:57] <lightbright> trappist: ok :)
[10:57] <lightbright> brb
[10:58] <ubuntu> excuse the stupid question, but how does you become superuser under ubuntu?
[10:58] <Simimi> su
[10:58] <SoulPropagation> ubuntu: su or sudo
[10:58] <Simimi> in the terminal
[10:58] <ubuntu> and then what?
[10:59] <Snellgrove> type the root password
[10:59] <ubuntu> whats the root password?
[10:59] <moo> sudo passwd root
[10:59] <Snellgrove> it'll perform the root operation, and then log out back out
[10:59] <Snellgrove> the root password is what you set as your user password :)
[10:59] <ubuntu> whats the root password?
[10:59] <Simimi> sudo is the same as su? So that is why all the help comands are prefixed with 'sido'...I get it!
[10:59] <moo> no its not
[10:59] <SoulPropagation> Snellgrove: no it's not
[10:59] <Snellgrove> oh :(
[10:59] <moo> sudo uses ur user password
[10:59] <Snellgrove> the first user created = super user powers usually in Ubuntu?
[10:59] <Snellgrove> when using sudo.. I thought
[10:59] <SoulPropagation> Simimi: su logs in as superuser. sudo does somethiong as the superuser
[10:59] <Simimi> oooh
[11:00] <Simimi> thank you
[11:00] <sethk> Simimi, sudo is execute one command as root, if you have the rights to do so
[11:00] <moo> your user is not a superuser but is a sudo user..the way i understand ti
[11:00] <ubuntu> when i type su it asks for password
[11:00] <ubuntu> i dont know the password
[11:00] <Simimi> Ubuntu is my first linux...I am enjoying it very much
[11:00] <sethk> Simimi, su says "set user to be root"
[11:00] <moo> you need to run sudo passwd root first
[11:00] <Simimi> ok! I had that problem ubuntu
[11:00] <Snellgrove> I thought the root account was disabled in ubuntu
[11:00] <sethk> ubuntu, you probably have to set it, with sudo passwd
[11:00] <Snellgrove> you had to use sudo ?
[11:00] <mdiep> to upgrade to a newer version of ubuntu, do I just change /etc/apt/sources.list to say "breezy" instead of "hoary" and then run `apt-get dist-upgrade`?
[11:00] <sethk> Snellgrove, not disabled
[11:00] <Simimi> ok go under I think it is system, and find the users and groups,..tick show all, and find the one labeled 'root' then manually set a new passsword
[11:00] <Seveas> mdiep, run apt-get update before running apt-get dist-upgrade
[11:00] <emile> use sudo -i for 'root shell'
[11:00] <GMachine_24> ubuntu: you have to set up the password after your initial install
[11:01] <Simimi> ....you can't apt-get update to upgrade the os?
[11:01] <Simimi> err.. I mean apt-get upgrade?
[11:01] <moo> apt-get update just updates apt
[11:01] <moo> upgrade doesnt get everything
[11:01] <surfdue> anyone?
[11:01] <Simimi> surfdude: Hmm?
[11:02] <Simimi> wow.. no wonder I seem to get no upgrades...Linux is very confusing
[11:02] <GMachine_24> surf: anyone what. i missed something.
[11:02] <pingus> tollinux?
[11:02] <paul__> sethk, well, no luck with the reboot. lsmod output is identical before and after the c-a-b, there might be a difference before the intial X startup at 640, but I don't know how to capture that
[11:02] <Simimi> odd question.. I have my system setting to 'Thai', can I config my terminal to understand my thai commands?
[11:03] <sethk> paul__, you would have to find the appropriate place in the startup scripts, and do something like   lsmod > filename, so you can look at the file later
[11:03] <bluefoxicy> Seveas:  ping
[11:03] <sethk> paul__, but if there aren't any video related modules loaded, then it would be a waste of time
[11:03] <Seveas> bluefoxicy, ICMP HOST UNREACHABLE - CC meeting in progress
[11:04] <bluefoxicy> Seveas:  oh, ok.  Heh.
[11:04] <GregAsche> can someone help me set up samba so I can share my printer?
[11:04] <paul__> sethk, I see vesafb, vga16fb, and vgastate
[11:05] <surfdue> my card is noticed in lspci, but how do I configure it? is there an application in gnome?
[11:05] <sethk> paul__, you might check /var/log/messages, see if one or more of those write a message to the log on startup
[11:05] <surfdue> its a pcmcia card
[11:05] <sethk> paul__, you might be able to see it being inserted after the probe.  Or you might not, but it never hurts to look.
[11:05] <Simimi> I did not think so...hmm
[11:05] <hardeep_> hey, i just installed ubuntu, and i have it dual booted with xphome, and now once i go into xp, all my drivers are missing, and i can't get on the internet. can anybody help me?
[11:05] <sethk> paul__, have you tried the apt-get command that reconfigures X?
[11:06] <sethk> paul__, it's a shot in the dark but it's a shot in the dark that might just work
[11:06] <sethk> paul__, back up your /etc/xorg.conf file first, both as a precaution and so we can see if anything changed
[11:06] <xet7> How do I create PDF printer in Ubuntu?
[11:07] <jcole> does "sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.12" include the right ubuntu kernel source??
[11:07] <paul__> sethk, grep for the module name you mean? I don't see anything informative
[11:07] <diubidone> help! My usb pen drive won't mount
[11:07] <jcole> tar jxvf /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.12.tar.bz2; cd linux-source-2.6.12/
[11:07] <jcole> cp /boot/config-2.6.12-9-386 .config
[11:07] <bluefoxicy> eh screw it, I'll e-mail canonical
[11:07] <jcole> sudo make-kpkg kernel_image
[11:07] <jcole> dpkg -i ../kernel-image-2.6.12_10.00.Custom_i386.deb
[11:07] <jcole> ^^^ i can't boot that kernel because it doesn't include raid support...
[11:07] <diubidone> is it possible to force mount of pendrive?
[11:07] <paul__> sethk, I haven't tried reconfiguring, but I'll give it a shot. What's the command?
[11:07] <Simimi> I feel like such a novice in here...I've been using linux for...3 days...wow
[11:07] <sethk> paul__, the probe getting different results is the only real clue we have, and that does point at a kernel thing
[11:08] <SoulPropagation> Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". < i have DRI enabled; why is this still happening?
[11:08] <sethk> paul__, I can never remember that one, but it was just here recently
[11:08] <jcole> what am i doing wrong?
[11:08] <Simimi> Is it normal for the upgrades to be so BIG? 63Mb?
[11:08] <moo> ok
[11:08] <sethk> SoulPropagation, that's the X windows dri module, not the kernel dri module
[11:08] <moo> how about flash
[11:08] <racookier> ok, again... i print from ubuntu to windows printers ok (no problem) but.. printing from windows "how the hell?"
[11:08] <moo> has anyone ever gotten flash working?
[11:08] <moo> specifically sound
[11:08] <sethk> somebody give us the apt-get that reconfigures x-ort?
[11:08] <sethk> xorg?
[11:08] <Simimi> tes
[11:08] <SoulPropagation> sethk: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:08] <Simimi> moo:" with mozilla? Yes
[11:09] <moo> sigh
[11:09] <sethk> SoulPropagation, thanks much.  paul__ you see it?
[11:09] <moo> any way to fix it in firefox?
[11:09] <lightbright> SoulPropagation: I have a Canon printer and it is 1 year old but doesnt appear in the printer list!  how can I get it to work
[11:09] <moo> since mozilla cant install
[11:09] <moo> maybe i can get a .deb from mozilla.org...
[11:09] <bur[n] er> fix what in firefox?
[11:09] <Simimi> moo: Ooh..doesn't mozilla come with ubuntu?
[11:09] <hardeep_> hey, i just installed ubuntu, and i have it dual booted with xphome, and now once i go into xp, all my drivers are missing, and i can't get on the internet. can anybody help me?
[11:09] <Phazeman> trappist: show off your screeny ;-)
[11:09] <moo> flash sound
[11:09] <bur[n] er> mozilla does come with ubuntu
[11:09] <blue-frog> lightbright, was it plugged and running at boot time?
[11:09] <moo> Simimi, not with mine, and it wont apt-get
[11:09] <bur[n] er> moo: read the wiki about ln -s to get flash working
[11:09] <bur[n] er> !tell moo about flash
[11:10] <benkong2> where do I put a cron job to ensure it gets run? Got the ddclient sample and I want it to run twice a month.
[11:10] <moo> can you be more specific? or do i need to search 'ln -s' in the wiki
[11:10] <moo> surely there is more than one mention of symbolic links
[11:10] <lightbright> blue-frog: no it was off.  but it doesnt even appear in the printing list for me to chose
[11:10] <SoulPropagation> lightbright: System menu --> Admin --> Printers
[11:10] <paul__> sethk, yes, trying it now
[11:10] <moo> bur[n] er, i HAVE flash im trying to get sound to work
[11:10] <lightbright> SoulPropagation: yes but my printer doesnt appear in the list
[11:10] <bur[n] er> moo: did you read that page?
[11:10] <blue-frog> lightbright, try to reboot with printer on and plugged
[11:10] <lightbright> blue-frog: you mean if printer is on during bootime, Ubuntu will pick it up?
[11:10] <bur[n] er> moo: look for "flash issues" :P
[11:10] <Welshwonder> Heres a question for you, why can't i access my harddrive in ubuntu?
[11:10] <jcole> is the ubuntu source kernel named something else?
[11:11] <paul__> sethk, oh, should I get out of X to do this? it's a console app that says it's going to probe the video hardware
[11:11] <moo> ok
[11:11] <SoulPropagation> lightbright: *shrugs* i don't know much about printers
[11:11] <moo> oh
[11:11] <blue-frog> lightbright, nuch better than hotplug certainly
[11:11] <sethk> paul__, it's definitely better, yes.  :)
[11:11] <moo> bur[n] er, : i tried that yesterday
[11:11] <lightbright> blue-frog: ok will try!  and if it doesnt pick it up and it doesnt appear in list, what can I do?
[11:11] <Simimi> I do not think my Ubuntu has any sound, it will not play any form of music or media file, and my flash on mozilla has no sound either, now that you mention it Moo....hmm
[11:11] <moo> didnt work
[11:11] <sethk> paul__, you know how to get into console mode?
[11:11] <crafteh> how do I check how fast my cpu is currently running?
[11:11] <paul__> sethk, no
[11:11] <lightbright> Welshwonder: is it mounted?
[11:11] <moo> here's what i want, sound in flash or a working mozilla
[11:11] <paul__> sethk, unless you mean runlevel 1
[11:11] <Welshwonder> How do you mean by mounted?
[11:11] <sethk> paul__, do control-alt-f1 to get to a console, log in as root, and go to runlevel 3   (init 3)
[11:11] <blue-frog> jcole, linux-header
[11:11] <bur[n] er> moo: both tips?
[11:11] <lightbright> Welshwonder: man mount
[11:11] <Welshwonder> It just says I don't have access
[11:11] <jcole> deb http://{serv}/Ubuntu breezy main restricted universe multiverse
[11:11] <jcole> deb-src http://{serv}/Ubuntu breezy main restricted universe multiverse
[11:11] <sethk> paul__, 3, not 1
[11:12] <moo> yup
[11:12] <paul__> sethk, ok, 3. Told you I was a bit rusty
[11:12] <sethk> paul__, normally it wouldn't matter but in this case I believe 3 is better
[11:12] <lightbright> Welshwonder: you have to mount it first
[11:12] <lightbright> blue-frog: ?
[11:12] <sethk> paul__, because 3 is basically "all the way up but not running graphics"
[11:12] <lightbright> Welshwonder: is it hdb?
[11:12] <crafteh> how do I check how fast my cpu is currently running?
[11:12] <Agrajag> crafteh: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[11:12] <crafteh> thanks
[11:12] <Welshwonder> HDA
[11:12] <Simimi> Does anyone know why that is? MY ubuntu will not play any form of media or music file, and I also do not seem to have sound in firefox, though I have flash?
[11:13] <paul__> sethk, damn, how do I abort out of this dpkg-reconfigure?
[11:13] <paul__> there's no exit or quit options
[11:13] <technomanc1> anybody want to suggest a simple desktop RSS reader?
[11:13] <lightbright> Welshwonder: mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
[11:13] <sethk> paul__, probably control-c
[11:13] <bluefoxicy> argh.
[11:13] <SoulPropagation> paul__: close the terminal window
[11:13] <moo> so yeah
[11:13] <blue-frog> lightbright, reboot and then it will be time for questions if the printer's still not there
[11:13] <crafteh> if I have a centrino (pentium m) how do I control how it speedsteps? It seems to be stuck on the slowest mhz?
[11:13] <moo> i take it flash just doesnt work with sound under ubuntu?
[11:13] <paul__> SoulPropagation, thanks
[11:13] <jcole> blue-frog: you mean "sudo make-kpkg kernel_image kernel_headers" ?
[11:13] <lightbright> blue-frog: ok will reboot later and let you know, thanks
[11:13] <lanjelot> hi. Is there someone who can help me find out what package to install to get write(3) man-pages? please
[11:13] <moo> i mean, im sitting here listening to an mp3 i dont think my soundcard is broke
[11:13] <_jason> moo, it does
[11:14] <SoulPropagation> sethk: the xorg reconfigurator doesn't do ^C
[11:14] <paul__> sethk, ok, going to lose IRC again when I go to console
[11:14] <blue-frog> jcole, synaptic search for linux-header
[11:14] <lightbright> Welshwonder: work ok?
[11:14] <paul__> back in a bit
[11:14] <Simimi> I have same problem as Moo, but my ubuntu will not play any form of music or media
[11:14] <sethk> SoulPropagation, depends on whether you start it from a terminal.  If you do, then you can control-c it
[11:14] <SoulPropagation> sethk: i don't think so
[11:14] <strav> about my question for pure data, I found the solution... that is to initialize snd_seq with modprobe.
[11:14] <Welshwonder> mount: according to mtab, /dev/hda1 is mounted on /media/hda1
[11:14] <jeld> Interesting, apt just attempted to remove ubuntu-desktop from my dapper box. Anyone can share some wisdom on this?
[11:14] <jcole> blue-frog: why?
[11:14] <sethk> SoulPropagation, try it.  I just did
[11:14] <technomanc1> bah: media is overrated
[11:14] <sethk> SoulPropagation, you are probably confused about what I mean.  Not the _window_, the terminal it is run from
[11:15] <Welshwonder> lightbright: mount: according to mtab, /dev/hda1 is mounted on /media/hda1
[11:15] <jcole> blue-frog: i've got them installed already
[11:15] <blue-frog> jcole, u wanr the kernel source to be installed so u can compile some stuff, no?
[11:15] <SoulPropagation> sethk: oooh, you mean bash -c dpkg-rec.....
[11:15] <strav> strange that the answer is so simple while soo many people have problems with it...
[11:15] <blue-frog> jcole, ah ok
[11:15] <edgar> is linux-wlan-ng included with the core disc installation?
[11:15] <_jason> moo, in hoary I had to ln -s /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.1 to get it to work, but there was no need in breezy.  You can give it a try
[11:15] <jcole> blue-frog: some suff?
[11:15] <Simimi> but I want to play *.dat files...
[11:15] <sethk> SoulPropagation, yes, or just doing it at the command line after doing an su in a terminal
[11:15] <jcole> blue-frog: the kernel
[11:15] <moo> hm actually its not ubuntus fault
[11:16] <moo> it was coming out of my other sound card
[11:16] <blue-frog> jcole, want to compile kernel, sry then can't help
[11:16] <moo> question is, why? since i have everything set NOT to use that card
[11:16] <moo> i thought sound preferences in gnome determined that..
[11:16] <Simimi> I have been using Linux for 3 days now, and I have found EVERYTHING is my fault, not the Ubuntu's fualt...
[11:16] <moo> hah :p
[11:16] <crafteh> if I have a centrino (pentium m) how do I control how it speedsteps? It seems to be stuck on the slowest mhz?
[11:16] <jcole> ah, i figured it out!
[11:17] <Simimi> moo: it is true! Everything is all me, being stupid, not the OS
[11:17] <Grock> is there a way to install files using the web instead of apt-get install but end up with the same file?
[11:17] <edgar> is linux-wlan-ng installed with the core disc?
[11:17] <dmoyne> hello ! ; has anybody installed DOS with QEmu ?
[11:17] <zapada> hello, what's a 'grub geom error'?
[11:17] <LjL> Grock: what do you mean "using the web"?
[11:17] <zapada> i get it when i try to boot off my usb stick that i got ubuntu to install grub on
[11:17] <moo> thats the difference between windows and linux, windows protects you from your stupidity, linux just silently sits there and lets you fuck it all up
[11:17] <gnomefreak> can you run linux or unix games on say windows?
[11:17] <_jason> Grock, there is a way, but apt-get is a lot easier and better
[11:17] <Grock> firefox for example
[11:17] <bur[n] er> Grock: put a .sh file on a website that opens a terminal and runs the apt-get install commands :)
[11:18] <bur[n] er> gnomefreak: via qemu... yes
[11:18] <paul__> sethk, hmm, init 3 (and also telinit 3) seem to have left X running
[11:18] <Simimi> moo: yes....it is so true...Linux is a very mean and hard OS..but I want to lrean, really.. it is the only OS that has actual thai system support on it...
[11:18] <robotgeek> moo: nope, you are wrong about linux letting you mess up. enable rm -i, mv -i, cp -i in your .bashrc
[11:18] <gnomefreak> ty bur[n] er
[11:18] <Grock> well for the case where i don't want to apt-get update but I just want one program?
[11:18] <sethk> paul__, really?  I've never seen that.  Then do init 1
[11:18] <moo> robotgeek: lol, those three commands are not the only ways to make a mistake
[11:18] <gnomefreak> moo: ubuntu protects you from your own stupity ex. typos or not thinking and typing something
[11:18] <sethk> paul__, there is nothing magic about the init levels, but it would be very strange for ubuntu to not do the same thing as all the others
[11:18] <Simimi> moo: Linux[11:18] <dmoyne>  gnomefreak: I have dowloaded a DOS image : how do I proceed ?
[11:18] <robotgeek> moo: most of it, tho
[11:18] <_jason> Grock, i'm not sure I understand what you mean
[11:19] <Grock> i've seen it for debian
[11:19] <bur[n] er> moo: conversely... windows doesn't let you do anything and restricts you while linux leaves you in control
[11:19] <moo> heh well ive botched several linux installs over the years and cp and rm never had anything to do with it
[11:19] <bur[n] er> moo: you could always make an alias for rm to mv files to your ~/.Trash
[11:19] <gnomefreak> dmoyne, i hate DOS hence the reason i use linux
[11:19] <LjL> Grock: if you want one program, you "apt-get install <program>" (or "aptitude install <program>", which i would say is better) -- i don't understand you either
[11:19] <Grock> online access for the tarballs that I could manually compile the same sources that apt-get would grab.
[11:20] <bur[n] er> Grock: you can get any source and compile it all day if you want... ubuntu doesn't stop you from doing that
[11:20] <Grock> for a live session
[11:20] <Simimi> ok I was trying to install something and it says...I need a GLIB.. so I did a google for GLIB but I do not understand wjhat it -is-, can eannyone explain it to me?
[11:20] <diubidone> please help i need to mount a pen drive it's urgent
[11:20] <LjL> Grock: if you actually want to *compile* the stuff, just "apt-get source <program>" and you'll have the sources in your current directory
[11:20] <moo> apt-get source will give you sources i think
[11:20] <dmoyne>  gnomefreak : I need DOS to run a DOS application
[11:20] <diubidone> my pen wont' mount
[11:20] <gnomefreak> Grock,  you get more programs (things) sometimes when you compile the source code
[11:20] <bur[n] er> diubidone: using gnome?
[11:21] <racookier> nobody knows ?
[11:21] <diubidone> sorry newbie what u mean?
[11:21] <Grock> burner but there is a source specific to ubuntu somewhere that apt-get grabs, all i'm asking is if I can use firefox to download the source instead of apt-get.
[11:21] <bur[n] er> Grock: yes
[11:21] <moo> yeah its in sources.list
[11:21] <dmoyne>  bur[n] er : have installed DOS with QEmu ?
[11:21] <moo> pretty shure you can browse to those sources
[11:21] <_jason> ubotu, tell grock about checkinstall
[11:21] <bur[n] er> dmoyne: hell no ;)
[11:21] <gnomefreak> dmoyne, i would ask the room not me i dont use a DOS  and dont care to the reason i asked about linux games on windows is cause  a freind wants some games
[11:22] <diubidone> help i need to mount a pen drive
[11:22] <Simimi> well thank you for everything all! Bye bye!
[11:22] <Simimi> Eek! Ok one more question
[11:22] <rawrr> hey, i just installed ubuntu, and i have it dual booted with xphome, and now once i go into xp, all my drivers are missing, and i can't get on the internet. can anybody help me?
[11:22] <lanjelot> hi. Do you a way to list the history who the last installed packages ?
[11:22] <bur[n] er> dmoyne: why would i make a cadillac work like an old model a
[11:22] <LjL> Grock: yes, you can. but what does this have to do with compiling from source? anyway, of course you can use firefox, just look at the repository's URL, and give it to Firefox
[11:22] <blue-frog> gnomefreak, your friend installs linux and he will have plenty of games
[11:22] <Simimi> Other than Gaim, are there any other messengers for Ubuntu that let me use all the messenger apps? OR, is there a way to have gaim support microphone?
[11:22] <moo> kopete
[11:22] <moo> but it sucks
[11:22] <bur[n] er> gnomefreak: seen the open cd?
[11:23] <dmoyne> guys, thanks
[11:23] <diubidone> help i need to mount a pen drive
[11:23] <diubidone> help i need to mount a pen drive
[11:23] <Simimi> so there is no mic for Gaim?
[11:23] <bur[n] er> diubidone: quit spamming
[11:23] <gnomefreak> blue-frog,  if she had any idea of computers i wouold say for her to go for it but she barley knows how to turn it on and i dont mean that in exagration
[11:23] <blue-frog> rawrr, u should try #windows for windows problem, if your drivers are missing it's not a linux fault
[11:23] <technomanc1> Simimi: Gaim 2.0 is supposed to have support for SIP
[11:23] <technomanc1> i think
[11:23] <gnomefreak> bur[n] er, open cd?
[11:23] <thewayofzen> diubidone,  im pretty sure everyone heard u the first time,
[11:23] <blue-frog> gnomefreak, so windows or linux won't be a difference to her..
[11:24] <Simimi> technomanc1: What is SiP? and... how do I know if I have Gaim 2.0? I do apt-get update and upgrade 2 times a day...so I would assume it is there
[11:24] <Amaranth> diubidone: sudo mkdir /media/pendrive && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/pendrive -t vfat
[11:24] <moo> SiP is voip i believe
[11:24] <gnomefreak> lol blue-frog good point but i dont want to be there teaching her or fixing it for her everyday
[11:24] <robotgeek> Simimi: gaim 2 is not in the repos
[11:24] <sethk> gnomefreak, I bet she spells better than you do.
[11:24] <Simimi> moo: Ohh.. ok I know what that is..ok thanks!
[11:24] <Simimi> robotgeek: I thought everything was in the repository...
[11:24] <technomanc1> gaim 2 is still cvs.... probably a good ways off.
[11:25] <robotgeek> Simimi: no, gaim 2.0 is *very* unstable
[11:25] <topyli> is gnome-bluetooth really the best set of bluetooth utilities for gnome? i'd like a drag & drool interface better. i guess gnome has spoiled me :)
[11:25] <Simimi> Oooooooooooooooooohhh ok
[11:25] <paul__> sethk, good call, it worked
[11:25] <blue-frog> gnomefreak, fixing? linux? I guess you are already fixing her windows everyday so give you abreak and install her ubuntu
[11:25] <gnomefreak> sethk, i dont know prolly
[11:25] <paul__> sethk, I did it in runlevel 1, though
[11:25] <Simimi> ok thats all, thank you all so much, bye bye... unless there really -is- a wauy to make the terminal understand thai commands?
[11:25] <Grock> LjL excactly what i'm after the web address of the repository
[11:25] <gnomefreak> blue-frog,  no her husband fixes windows
[11:25] <sethk> paul__, well, at least it worked.  :)
[11:25] <iamkirk> anyone mind giving me a hand ?
[11:25] <paul__> sethk, X was still running when I switched to runlevel 3
[11:25] <SoulPropagation> Simimi: course there is!
[11:26] <gnomefreak> ty bur[n] er  im looking at it now
[11:26] <paul__> sethk, I just rebooted and it came up 1600x1200. Thanks
[11:26] <Grock> LjL I cant find it anywhere
[11:26] <Simimi> CoulPropagation REALLY?????
[11:26] <sethk> iamkirk, sometimes it's noisy, you have to ask twice.  I know, you get yelled at sometimes for asking twice also ... :)
[11:26] <diubidone> Amaranth:what's &&?
[11:26] <sethk> paul__, np
[11:26] <LjL> Grock: look in /etc/apt/sources.list - and then, for the exact subdirectory of a single package, "apt-cache show <package>" will show you
[11:26] <iamkirk> which linux kernel do i install
[11:26] <Amaranth> diubidone: it means "run this other command after the first one finishes"
[11:26] <Grock> could you paste it for me
[11:26] <Simimi> SoulPropagation: I have the thai keyboard and system settings ernabled, but the terminal des not understand the Thai commands....
[11:26] <iamkirk> i have no idea what the difference is between them i am a linux newb
[11:26] <Grock> my /etc/apt/sources.list is hosed
[11:26] <sethk> iamkirk, almost always, the default kernel is fine
[11:27] <SoulPropagation> do thai characters show up in the terminal
[11:27] <auxtony78> lut!!
[11:27] <LjL> !tell Grock about sources
[11:27] <sethk> iamkirk, try it.  if not, you can always try another.  unless you have unusual hardware, though, you won't have to worry about it
[11:27] <blue-frog> iamkirk, are u installing the expert way?
[11:27] <Simimi> iamkirk I hate being a linux newb....I feel your pain
[11:27] <iamkirk> linux 386 .... linux image 386..... linux image 2.6.12-9-386 ?
[11:27] <Lars_G> !java
[11:27] <Simimi> SoulPropagation: yes and no
[11:27] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadebs
[11:27] <Lars_G> ~java
[11:27] <diubidone> it says mount point doesn't exist
[11:27] <Lars_G> ?java
[11:28] <^Norris^> wenas
[11:28] <robotgeek> Lars_G: what are you trying to do?
[11:28] <Lars_G> robotgeek: I already did.
[11:28] <blue-frog> diubidone, create the mount point then
[11:28] <robotgeek> Lars_G: hmm, kk
[11:28] <kzin> anyone familiar with post-feb-2005 ibooks? bluetooth not working for me. also resume from sleep panics the kernel in usbcore
[11:28] <SoulPropagation> Simimi: do the characters show up when you type em
[11:28] <diubidone> how?
[11:28] <Amaranth> diubidone: sudo mkdir /media/pendrive && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/pendrive -t vfat
[11:28] <Simimi> SoulPropagation: sometimes they will, but they are often not clearly legible, or are mistaken on the keyboard bindings...and a comand such as  'ls' does not transfer to 'lor sor'
[11:28] <Amaranth> diubidone: Run that _exact_ command.
[11:28] <^Norris^> i hav a problem
[11:29] <Simimi> SoulPropagation: on tty1 no, but on the terminal in the Gui yes
[11:29] <iamkirk> linux 386 .... linux image 386..... linux image 2.6.12-9-386 ? very confused
[11:29] <diubidone> same
[11:29] <^Norris^> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda5,
[11:29] <^Norris^>        missing codepage or other error
[11:29] <topyli> iamkirk: so, do you know what kind of machine you have? an intel processor? an amd processor?
[11:29] <iamkirk> anyone have an educated preference
[11:29] <iamkirk> intel
[11:29] <Amaranth> ^Norris^: your /home died?
[11:29] <iamkirk> centrino laptop
[11:29] <Yannux> someone know how to use epiphany sidebar ?
[11:29] <crimsun> iamkirk: use linux-686
[11:29] <iamkirk> 1.6 ghz ati video
[11:29] <^Norris^> um
[11:29] <^Norris^> ????
[11:29] <SoulPropagation> well ok, we can enable it for the xterms
[11:29] <iamkirk> 686!?!?!
[11:29] <Grock> again I have to ask how to access the ubuntu repository search it and download with firefox new applications
[11:29] <^Norris^> Amaranth,because
[11:29] <topyli> iamkirk: if it's a modern machine, use the 686 kernel
[11:29] <Red-Sox> how do you make ksmoothdock always on top?
[11:29] <Amaranth> ^Norris^: what is /dev/hda5?
[11:30] <iamkirk> its not in the list
[11:30] <crimsun> iamkirk: yes, a centrino is an i686 family chip
[11:30] <u-sun> hey, what is the offlist chat again?
[11:30] <SoulPropagation> Simimi: do gedit ~/.bashrc
[11:30] <Simimi> SoulPropagation maybe I just do not know the Thai commands...I mean the Thai works fine, just the commands is the problem
[11:30] <^Norris^> the partition linux /
[11:30] <SoulPropagation> and go down to the bottom
[11:30] <crimsun> iamkirk: linux-686 and linux-image-686 are both metapackages
[11:30] <Amaranth> crimsun: centrino is a platform, the cpu is pentium m
[11:30] <diubidone> if i go to my computer directory i see the usb pen drive but its like i have no permissions
[11:30] <iamkirk> wow
[11:30] <crimsun> Amaranth: yes, I know
[11:30] <SoulPropagation> type in alias [lor character] [sor character] ='ls'
[11:30] <iamkirk> im never leaving this room
[11:30] <SoulPropagation> there are no thai commands
[11:30] <iamkirk> i think i know things and then get wtfpwnt
[11:30] <topyli> iamkirk: sure it is. in a terminal window, do this: "apt-cache search linux-image | grep 686"
[11:31] <diubidone> it says impossible to do pmount when i click on the icon
[11:31] <^Norris^> please, which
[11:31] <^Norris^> ??
[11:31] <^Norris^> Amaranth
[11:31] <iamkirk> wow , im in love with linux
[11:31] <Grock> so when apt-get install doesn't work can i use firefox to get stuff from the repositories?
[11:31] <iamkirk> and you guys
[11:31] <SoulPropagation> then save it and pop open a terminal and try typing [lor character] [sor character]
[11:31] <Amaranth> ^Norris^: what is /dev/hda5?
[11:31] <iamkirk> much <3
[11:31] <Simimi> I also love linux, but it is very hard to learn, it is very daunting at times
[11:31] <pitti> diubidone: it seems you are not in the 'plugdev' group
[11:31] <blue-frog> iamkirk, if ubuntu is already installed on your laptop, leave it as it is it will be fine..
[11:31] <Angelfish> hey all, im having some toruble installing a new window decoration, its the first thing ive had to compile, and im getting this error when doing ./configure.  configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
[11:31] <Angelfish> See `config.log' for more details any ideas on how to fix this?
[11:31] <diubidone> how do i fix that?
[11:31] <Simimi> so much special language, as if English wasn't hard enough *grumble*
[11:31] <pitti> diubidone: add yourself to it (in the 'users and groups' tool), then restart your session
[11:32] <LjL> Grock: yes, and then you can install it using "dpkg -i <filename.deb>". i don't quite see why you *should* do this, but anyway
[11:32] <robotgeek> Angelfish: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[11:32] <pitti> diubidone: the command line way: sudo adduser yourloginname plugdev
[11:32] <Simimi> well, thank you all SO MUCH!
[11:32] <^Norris^> /dev/hda5 is linux ext3, the dirctory /
[11:32] <Simimi> Bye Bye!
[11:32] <SoulPropagation> Simimi: does it work?
[11:32] <LjL> Grock: keep in mind, though, that many packages have dependencies, i.e. they need other packages to work -- so, often, downloading just *the* package you want is not enough!
[11:32] <Amaranth> ^Norris^: ok, so you're going to need a live cd
[11:32] <pitti> diubidone: or tick 'Use removable devices' option in the users admin tool
[11:32] <maestro> where i can find a sources.list to 5.04?
[11:32] <Amaranth> ^Norris^: you're going to have to boot from the live cd and run fsck /dev/hda5
[11:32] <^Norris^> ok
[11:33] <diubidone> ok ill try that thank god for u guys!!!
[11:33] <^Norris^> yes
[11:33] <Angelfish> robotgeek, thanks
[11:33] <^Norris^> but not tun
[11:33] <^Norris^> not run
[11:33] <robotgeek> ubotu: tell maestro about sources
[11:33] <^Norris^> look

[11:37] <Angelfish> Amaranth, LjL robotgeek thanks for your help.
[11:37] <smo> sunsun: ^a then S  (case-sensitive)
[11:38] <LjL> MikeStyle: install kdelibs4-dev
[11:38] <sunsun> smc, what do you mean
[11:38] <topyli> gnome-bluetooth seriously is not very friendly. is there no better GUI for file transfer over BT?
[11:39] <smo> smo, I'm assuming you mean 'gnu screen' ?
[11:39] <sunsun> smc, is this in terminal??
[11:39] <smo> sunsun, I think I may be confused as to what screen you're splitting
[11:39] <^Norris^> SoulPropagation, said me that i can do
[11:39] <Angelfish> haha now it says i need to get QT support, anyone know what package that would be?
[11:39] <maestro> /findtext $me

[11:39] <annaandlev> hi
[11:39] <MikeStyle> LjL, it is installed already?

[11:39] <annaandlev> i have a lexmark x83 printer
[11:39] <sunsun> smc, yes on gnome
[11:39] <annaandlev> how do i set it up?
[11:40] <sunsun> smc, i am on hoary ubuntu platform
[11:40] <LjL> Angelfish: qt3-dev-tools, or (probably better) kdelibs4-dev
[11:40] <maestro> and where can i find a .deb pack for javasdk?
[11:40] <annaandlev> i have a lexmark x83 printer; how do i set it up?
[11:40] <LjL> MikeStyle: try installing kdebase-dev, though that should be already installed too if kdelibs4-dev is
[11:40] <_jason> annaandlev, your best resource is probably linuxprinting.org
[11:40] <Angelfish> LjL, thanks =D, and any idea where libjpeg would be?
[11:40] <smo> sunsun, disregard my answer entirely then .. I thought you meant a program called 'screen' (which splits quite nicely, but is unrelated to what you're trying to do)
[11:40] <gnomefreak> !ubotu java
[11:40] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadebs
[11:40] <flora> what version of postgresql comes with ubuntu?

[11:44] <Amaranth> n0dl: ubuntu comes with something, just click on a torrent
[11:44] <Amaranth> orbx: i believe it defaults to root user, no password
[11:44] <n0dl> i know but i did a base install so i can run XFCE on a clean install
[11:44] <maestro> have anyone package who install JAVA SDK?
[11:44] <Angelfish> orbx, running myspladmin under sudo?

[11:46] <gnomefreak> maestro,  go to the link ubotu sent you for java debs
[11:46] <GMachine_24> if i do /topic and nothing happens i assume that means there is no pastebin for that topic?
[11:46] <Angelfish> orbx, id assume so if your getting access denied errors, give it a whirl
[11:46] <Amaranth> mysql doesn't work like that
