[00:00] <asmo[B]> I just didn't like that it looks like iTunes haha
[00:00] <Coyote`> gordonjcp > ok i'm gonna try :)
[00:00] <tj13820> TuniX12: something should be available, even tweaking the ACPI code in ubuntu.
[00:00] <Sun01Tech> anybody know the terminal command to install the package manager
[00:00] <Slart_> Sun01Tech: sudo apt-get install apt ?
[00:01] <dward526> suntech sudo apt-get install synaptic
[00:01] <asmo[B]> if I remember right you have to have a package for playing mp3's right?
[00:01] <soldats> lol
[00:01] <TuniX12> tj13820: no
[00:01] <zvacet> Masterof9puppets : do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed if not    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[00:01] <Slart_> !mp3 | asmo[B]
[00:02] <TuniX12> tj13820: ubuntu is NOT linux i talk about the kernel
[00:02] <clintchance> tj13820, figured it out...  myCpu is 100%. And i just realized that google earth wasnt loading and is stuck on the flash screen. Is this a know problem do you know?
[00:02] <Masterof9puppets> Yeah i have that already zvacet
[00:03] <tj13820> clintchance: it is using your system resources. end the PID in computer manager.
[00:03] <TuniX12> ubuntu is becoming a bloatware :(
[00:03] <clintchance> tj13820, yeah been a long time since ive been on here. Whats the comand for that
[00:03] <Slart_> TuniX12: was ubuntu ever a lean distro?
[00:03] <tj13820> i wouldn't know.
[00:04] <zvacet> Masterof9puppets : so you have that,w32 codecs,lame and still no joy with mp3   see if liblame is installed
[00:04] <tj13820> clintchance: go to administration or system tools and computer manager/ process manager and end it.
[00:04] <CH1C0> i like puppy linux. its nice
[00:04] <tj13820> clintchance: or log out and back in
[00:04] <CH1C0> very lean
[00:04] <Coiotes> I'm having problems getting my computer to record input from my mic. I can hear myself speak through my speakers/headset, but no program will record my mic. I has ALSA set as output, OSS set as input in sound settings. Any ideas, anyone?
[00:04] <Masterof9puppets> How do I check zvacet?
[00:05] <Masterof9puppets> And how do I install the w32 codecs, I'm not sure if I have already zvacet
[00:05] <Slart_> !w32codecs | Masterof9puppets
[00:05] <CH1C0> coites, edit>preferences, then check everything
[00:05] <Masterof9puppets> I already have medibuntu
[00:06] <Slart_> Masterof9puppets: then "sudo apt-get install w32codecs" should do it
[00:06] <bthornton> Does Ubuntu hardy have support for online ext3 filesystem resizing?
[00:06] <dragonlotus> hey all.  aplay -l shows my nvidia 2 onboard sound, alsamixer shows everything unmuted.  Headphones still aren't making any noise.  Any ideas?
[00:06] <Coiotes> v_v
[00:06] <Slart_> Masterof9puppets: or use synaptic.. if you like a gui better
[00:06] <Masterof9puppets> "Package w32codecs is not available" Slart
[00:06] <bthornton> I know how to resize partitions/LVM offline, I'm just wondering if it has the kernel patches necessary to do it without unmounting...
[00:06] <onisciente> does anyone knows any reliable source that explains how to boot an existing windows inside ubuntu?
[00:07] <rhin0x> Hi everyone
[00:07] <Slart_> Masterof9puppets: running 64 bit?
[00:07] <ompaul> Masterof9puppets, read the web page:   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[00:07] <Masterof9puppets> Slart_: I dont think so...
[00:07] <Masterof9puppets> ompaul, I already have that installed
[00:07] <Slart_> Masterof9puppets: what does "lsb_release -a" in a terminal tell you?
[00:07] <rhin0x> I am having trouble updating fron gutsy to edgy on x64 platform, the system complains about libnet1 and then kills the update process any idea please?
[00:08] <CH1C0> virtualbox
[00:08] <TuniX12> onisciente:  you mean virtualizing?
[00:08] <ompaul> Masterof9puppets, sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2
[00:08] <Slart_> Masterof9puppets: or rather.. what does "uname -a" tell you
[00:08] <zvacet> Masterof9puppets : in synaptic in seaarch box type name of package for example w32 and if you see green box on the left of package then package is installed if box is white then it is not installed
[00:09] <Lokka> hello, i upgrade my gutsy to hardy and i cant install wine 1r4
[00:09] <Coiotes> Does no one here know of how to get audio recording with a microphone to work?
[00:09] <onisciente> Tunix12: yes, but of existing operation system. Is it possible?
[00:09] <ompaul> !upgrade | Lokka
[00:09] <askand> Hmm..what part in rhythmbox is copyrighted? >:o
[00:09] <Lokka> i upgraded*
[00:09] <afallenhope> so I got it to work... for some reason my "autodetect" doesn't seem to work.. so I just set it up so that it uses the ALSA driver.
[00:10] <ompaul> Lokka, and when you do apt-cache policy wine what version do you see?
[00:10] <afallenhope> however, my DVD looks wierd.. I get blips everywhere...
[00:10] <Masterof9puppets> zvacet: its not even in there
[00:10] <Wolphie> Anyone able to help me with dual monitors?
[00:10] <ompaul> askand, it is all copyrighted (most likely under the GPL)
[00:11] <ompaul> askand, it is GPL software
[00:11] <lejon> anyone know a good command to figure out what motherboard you have in ubuntu?
[00:11] <Masterof9puppets> Slart_: "Linux chris-laptop 2.6.24-18-generic #1 SMP Wed May 28 19:27:38 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[00:11] <Pwhdavey> Hi I have a problem. I use Ubuntu, I have downloaded both Gnash and FlashPlayer plugin for Firefox but none of them work. I have checked in the Firefox addons and neither if them are there. It shows in Synaptic they are installed but how do I activate them?
[00:11] <IndyGunFreak> Wolphie: what video device?
[00:11] <TuniX12> onisciente:  is that possible?
[00:11] <zvacet> Masterof9puppets : gedit /etc/apt/sources.list just to see if you added medibuntu repo
[00:11] <Wolphie> nVidia 8600GT
[00:11] <Slart_> Masterof9puppets: that x86_64 at the end means you're running 64bit ubuntu.. there is a 64bit package called w64codecs.. try that one instead
[00:11] <ompaul> lejon, a screwdriver it the best way - you can identify lots if you know the make and model of the machine in some cases
[00:11] <rhin0x> Trying to update from gutsy to hardy complains about libnet1 and kills the update process on x64 platform, need advice, please
[00:12] <onisciente> Tunix12: I heard it is. There is something called Xen.
[00:12] <soldats> Pwhdavey: open firefox and type in the address bar "about:plugins" and see if flash is listed there
[00:12] <IndyGunFreak> Wolphie: is it a dualhead card, or do you have two separate cards, or what?
[00:12] <ompaul> !xen | onisciente
[00:12] <Masterof9puppets> I have w64 too Slart_
[00:12] <lejon> ompaul, ah, gotta do it the old fashion way then I guess >.< I had hoped I wouldnt have to take the lappy apart,
[00:12] <dragonlotus> Pwhdavey: sudo apt-cache search adobe flash
[00:12] <Zaiden> How do I know what virtualbox kernal to install so I can use Windows XP? (If anyone knows)
[00:12] <Slart_> Masterof9puppets: ok.. then you have the codec-pack.. what was the original problem?
[00:12] <dragonlotus> Pwhdavey: sudo apt-get install <package_name>      should take.
[00:12] <ompaul> lejon, what info are you looking for chipsets are available in /proc and lshw
[00:13] <dbugger> Hello. I have a problem with Hardy. When I activate the ATI hardware acceleration and restart, X frozes up and I get a black screen of death. Help please!
[00:13] <lejon> ompaul, I know what pci and usb devices I got, I need to know my motherboard model so I can figure out if coreboot v2 would work on my lappy
[00:13] <zvacet> Masterof9puppets : please,just look in your source list to be sure that you have medibuntu repo
[00:13] <OrcKhsu> Zaiden: use the other version on Virtualbox.org, don't use the OSE version in the resposiotry
[00:13] <Wolphie> The card has 2 DVI ports
[00:14] <IndyGunFreak> Wolphie: ok.. do you have the nvidia driver enabled in hardware drivers?(System/Admin/Hardware drivers)
[00:14] <Wolphie> My second monitor is however a VGA, although I have a DVI adapter for it
[00:14] <Masterof9puppets> Slart_: THe problem was MP3s wont play
[00:14] <dandel_> i have an annoyance... any ideas on how to disable xchat from putting text on the lower part of the screen?
[00:14] <Masterof9puppets> zvacet: how?
[00:14] <IndyGunFreak> Wolphie: that should be no prob.
[00:14] <Mercuree> anyone here usign ubuntu hoary?
[00:15] <Mercuree> lol
[00:15] <Masterof9puppets> brb everyone thats helping me, gotta have dinner
[00:15] <TuniX12> onisciente: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xen explain that you can do that
[00:15] <ajitam> hi is there i way that u can wake up computer over ssh in local network
[00:15] <TuniX12> onisciente: google for it
[00:15] <dandel_> i have the prefs disabled on it, however the message keeps happening.
[00:15] <Wolphie> I can't see any Hardware Drivers panel
[00:15] <Zaiden> OrcKhsu: Thank you!
[00:15] <Mercuree> ajitam look up wake on lan
[00:15] <onisciente> TuniX12: amazing
[00:15] <Wolphie> I can see hardware information in System > Preferences
[00:15] <Mercuree> i think that might help you
[00:15] <IndyGunFreak> Wolphie: not a panel.. Look in System/Admin/Hardware Drivers.. (tsa menu), do you have Nvidia drivers enabled
[00:15] <sudobash> magic packet/wake on lan
[00:15] <Slart_> ajitam: I don't know if there is a way by using ssh.. but I think you can send a "magic packet" to the network card.. that wakes the computer up if the hardware allows it
[00:16] <zvacet> Masterof9puppets : in terminal type   gedit /etc/apt/sources.list  and scroll and look if medibuntu is there (most of the tome it is at the bottom of page)
[00:16] <yukonho> Hello - does anyone know a good site to look up what a kernel module does?
[00:16] <patifa> Anyone know how hard it would be to get a dual-screen setup where each screen is a different workspace and both have hardware acceleration?
[00:16] <patifa> (and if so, how?)
[00:16] <Wolphie> Yes, i don't see that menu
[00:16] <IndyGunFreak> patifa: it doesn't work well .
[00:17] <IndyGunFreak> at least in my opinion.
[00:17] <OrcKhsu> Zaiden: no problem, that version is a .deb file, just straight forward install, follow the prompt (it might prompt you to set up a user in the vbox usergroup, just click through)
[00:17] <IndyGunFreak> Wolphie: what versio of ubuntu are you using?
[00:17] <patifa> IndyGunFreak,  I've got the super wide desktop thing going on
[00:17] <Wolphie> I only see anything relating to drivers being Restricted Driver Manager
[00:17] <Wolphie> 7.10 Desktop
[00:17] <TuniX12> onisciente: Xen maybe used on personal computers that run Linux but also have Windows installed. Traditionally, such systems are used in a dual boot setup, but with Xen it is possible to start Windows "in a window" from within Linux, effectively running applications from both systems at
[00:17] <IndyGunFreak> patifa: same here..
[00:17] <IndyGunFreak> patifa: twinview is really the best...
[00:18] <Zaiden> OrcKhsu: It's says "Failed to install" and opens up the black terminal window, but nothing appears
[00:18] <IndyGunFreak> Wolphie: look in restricted driver manager, you're using an old version of Ubuntu, in the current version, its called Hardware drivers"
[00:18] <Wolphie> Oh ok sorry
[00:18] <Wolphie> Ok i've got it open
[00:18] <IndyGunFreak> Wolphie: does it show the nvidia driver is enabled?
[00:19] <patifa> IndyGunFreak, well I'm using ATI
[00:19] <Wolphie> I have the nVidia accelerated graphics driver enabled
[00:19] <IndyGunFreak> patifa: oh ok.
[00:19] <patifa> I really wish I could have separate workspaces.
[00:19] <IndyGunFreak> Wolphie: ok, close that, then open a terminal, and type "sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings" no quotes
[00:19] <OrcKhsu> Zaiden: did you get the x86 or the x86 64bit version?
[00:19] <Fishe1> hello, I'm having a little trouble with a multiseat and usb disk
[00:19] <patifa> The functionality is already so close.  You can already move a window to the next workspace.  It would only make sense that that second workspace be another monitor.
[00:19] <dragonlotus> I don't understand why my sound isn't working.  Soundcard is listed under aplay, and all channels unmuted.  Any ideas?
[00:20] <OrcKhsu> Zaiden: use this: https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_SMI-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=innotek-1.6-G-F@CDS-CDS_SMI
[00:20] <patifa> dragonlotus, which driver are you using?
[00:20] <Zaiden> OrcKhsu: Problem solved, forgot to install the OSE version
[00:20] <Fishe1> I m using ubuntu 7.04, qhen I connect a usb disk, it only apears on the last seat that logged. Any ideas??
[00:20] <Pwhdavey> hmm
[00:20] <kkathman> is there a way to set the font size and type of the text associated with a desktop icon?
[00:21] <Pwhdavey> dragonlotus: worked :P
[00:21] <Wolphie> Ok done
[00:21] <dragonlotus> Pwhdavey: cool
[00:21] <Pwhdavey> dragonlotus: took a couple of times in the terminal though
[00:21] <IndyGunFreak> Wolphie: now in a terminal, type "gksudo nvidia-settings" no quotes
[00:21] <Ouranos999> join #hurdfr
[00:22] <DIL> using cli to update from X.04 to X.10 what would be the the command sudo apt-get upgrade ????????
[00:22] <Wolphie> (gksudo:7942): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[00:22] <IndyGunFreak> Wolphie: did it open a box called nvidia-settings
[00:22] <Wolphie> No
[00:22] <ajhtiredwolf_> Does anyone use ventirlo and has gotten it working in ubuntu?
[00:22] <Hemebond> Is it possible to reinstall Ubuntu onto a software RAID0 partition? I have / and /home separated but I'm not sure if I can just reinstall over the top while leaving everything else alone.
[00:23] <Wolphie> It say "cannont open display"
[00:23] <Wolphie> cannot*
[00:23] <Wolphie> Do i need a special lib to run GTK apps?
[00:23] <IndyGunFreak> Wolphie: are you running Kubuntu?
[00:23] <Laurenceb> hi, how can I reduce the ram used by hardy?
[00:23] <Wolphie> No
[00:23] <IndyGunFreak> then no.
[00:23] <Wolphie> Ubuntu 7.10 desktop
[00:23] <DIL> using terminal to update from X.04 to X.10 - what would be the command sudo apt-get upgrade ????????
[00:24] <Laurenceb> my laptop is utterly unusable at the moment
[00:24] <IndyGunFreak> Wolphie: try just running nvidia-settings in a terminal window.
[00:24] <Laurenceb> its only got 512MB ram
[00:24] <Hemebond> Laurenceb: Disabled compiz?
[00:24] <Wolphie> It says "GTK Warning: cannot open display"
[00:24] <Laurenceb> I have I think
[00:24]  * jeffster is mildly crazy
[00:24] <IndyGunFreak> Wolphie: i don't know...
[00:24] <IndyGunFreak> weird.
[00:24] <Laurenceb> how do you disable it?
[00:25] <Hemebond> metacity --replace
[00:25] <Hemebond> Then...
[00:25] <onisciente> TuniX12: yes, i'm reading here. I'm afraid if my processor support it
[00:25] <crdlb> Wolphie: how eactly did you open a terminal?
[00:25] <Hemebond> System > Preferences > Appearance
[00:25] <crdlb> exactly*
[00:25] <IndyGunFreak> crdlb: hm, hadn't thought of that.
[00:25] <Wolphie> http://i30.tinypic.com/2ytzhid.png
[00:25] <crdlb> the only possible cause of that is for DISPLAY to be unset
[00:25] <afallenhope> can I uninstall the PulseAudio driver?
[00:25] <Wolphie> Applications > Accessories > Terminal
[00:26] <zvacet> good night to all
[00:26] <Hemebond> Laurenceb: Visual Effects tab > None
[00:26] <crdlb> oh root
[00:26] <IndyGunFreak> Wolphie: why are you logged in as root?
[00:26] <Wolphie> I was doing a few things that required root access
[00:26]  * jeffster is an ultra su
[00:26] <Wolphie> Should i not be?
[00:26] <crdlb> Wolphie: that's what sudo is for in ubuntu
[00:26] <IndyGunFreak> Wolphie: well, thats what sudo is for
[00:26] <Hemebond> running gksudo from terminal
[00:26] <Laurenceb> ok thanx
[00:26] <Kosimo> Hi guys
[00:26] <Laurenceb> It might take a while
[00:27] <Hemebond> Wolphie: Use the run applet
[00:27] <Laurenceb> my swap partition is going mad
[00:27] <Hemebond> Wolphie: ALT + F2
[00:27] <Zaiden> Even with the other version of VirtualBox, I'm getting the kernal error :/
[00:27]  * jeffster is still crazy
[00:27] <crdlb> Wolphie: so type 'exit', then you can do it
[00:27] <Wobbo> Is there a linux distro based on gnome that keeps including all bleeding edge release of apps and kernels?
[00:27]  * jeffster is still a su
[00:27] <Wolphie> I opened a new terminal, didn't log in as root, ran the command and it has opened now
[00:27] <Masterof9puppets> zvacet: it wasnt there so I redownloaded it, and its still not there
[00:27] <IndyGunFreak> Wolphie: you shouldn't be root on Ubuntu...
[00:28] <Wolphie> Why not?
[00:28] <IndyGunFreak> Wolphie: anyway, use that window to configure your second monitor(Twinview)
[00:28] <[T]ank> ok, so i burned my ubuntu 8.04 cd at 1x and verified that it is infact the alternate cd. I still am not able to install it. i select install, i get a quick progress bar that says loading linux kernel, then the screen goes black. i had this problem installing debian, and i fixed it by adding the nofb option. is that an option in the ubuntu 8.04 install?
[00:28] <Masterof9puppets> Slart_: Still not working :[
[00:28] <IndyGunFreak> !sudo | Wolphie
[00:28] <Hemebond> Laurenceb: Also check your session preferences.
[00:28]  * jeffster :(
[00:28] <Chousuke> Wolphie: It's a very bad habit
[00:28] <Laurenceb> how much ram do I need?
[00:28] <IndyGunFreak> very bad
[00:28] <Chousuke> Wolphie: and encourages misuse of your system.
[00:28] <Fishe1> hello, I'm having a little trouble with a multiseat and usb disk. I m using ubuntu 7.04, when I connect a usb disk, it only apears on the last seat that logged. Any ideas??
[00:28] <jedimind> whats an app i can use for simple video manipulation (like rotating home-movies clockwise as an example) w/ a variety of codec support (mpeg-4 in this case)
[00:28] <Hemebond> Laurenceb: 512 is fine if you disable the fancy stuff.
[00:28] <Wolphie> Oh ok, thanks for the advice!
[00:28] <Laurenceb> ok
[00:29]  * jeffster is more awesome than you
[00:29] <Chousuke> Wolphie: in general you should try to do things as a normal user first, and only use root if that fails.
[00:29] <Chousuke> too many people use sudo to copy files into (or even inside) their home directory :/
[00:29] <IndyGunFreak> Wolphie: anyways, configure twinview, then you'll be triggered to restart, and it should work
[00:30] <Wolphie> I'm just so used to using root at work, it's a bit of a habit
[00:30] <Wolphie> Ok, i'll restart and report back
[00:30] <IndyGunFreak> Wolphie: well.. its your system, i dn't care
[00:31] <[T]ank> anyone?
[00:31] <Chousuke> IndyGunFreak: you will after it gets rooted and starts sending you viagra spam, though.
[00:31] <IndyGunFreak> Chousuke: so it was you that done that!.. :)
[00:31] <Chousuke> ;P
[00:31] <Chousuke> I'm no cracker.
[00:32] <afallenhope> can I uninstall the PulseAudio driver? Like ... is it safe?
[00:32] <Hemebond> afallenhope: Yes
[00:32] <afallenhope> Hemebond: how do I find out what uses it/
[00:32] <IndyGunFreak> really?.. hmm, cuz i hate pulseaudio.. prefer alsa
[00:32] <Hemebond> So, no one  has reinstalled Ubuntu onto existing RAID0?
[00:33] <WILDPET> Buenas noches ¿alguien español?
[00:33] <Slart_> Masterof9puppets: what are you using to play the mp3's ?
[00:33] <Hemebond> afallenhope: Nothing directly uses it.
[00:33] <afallenhope> ty ty
[00:33] <Hemebond> afallenhope: Check your sound settngs.
[00:33] <soldats> !es > WILDPET
[00:33] <Hemebond> afallenhope: Change to ALSA or whatever.
[00:34] <larryone> !wireless
[00:34] <Hemebond> !raid
[00:34] <Laurenceb> visual effects were set to none
[00:34] <Wolphie_> Ok i've restarted. but ubuntu is running in low graphics mode now
[00:34] <Hemebond> Laurenceb: Check your session preferences
[00:35] <Laurenceb> whee do I check?
[00:35] <Laurenceb> *where?
[00:35] <Hemebond> Laurenceb: System > Preferences > Sessions
[00:35] <IndyGunFreak> Wolphie_: look in system/admin/restricted drivers, adn see if the nvidia driver is still enabled
[00:35] <afallenhope> now on to how to do it  lol
[00:35] <bthornton> Any LVM gurus in here? I'm trying to move an LV from one volume group to another volume group on the same system and can't figure out how. Any ideas?
[00:35] <Wolphie_> Yes, it's still in use
[00:36] <IndyGunFreak> Wolphie_: go to nvidia-settings and adjust your resolutions..
[00:36] <IndyGunFreak> etc.
[00:36] <Masterof9puppets> Slart_: Rythmn box
[00:36] <Masterof9puppets> *rhythm
[00:36] <ajhtiredwolf_> Anyone know how to get ventrilo to work under wine?
[00:36] <Hemebond> Masterof9puppets: You installed MP3 codecs?
[00:36] <Laurenceb> ok, it'll take a while....... *waits for crunching HDD*
[00:36] <Masterof9puppets> Yes, I did Hemebond
[00:36] <jedimind> whats an app i can use for simple video manipulation (like rotating home-movies clockwise as an example) w/ a variety of codec support (mpeg-4 in this case)
[00:36] <Masterof9puppets> Every single one
[00:36] <bitmouse> zsnes
[00:37] <Wolphie_> I don't get that option
[00:37] <Hemebond> ajhtiredwolf_: Yes, apparently it is possible.
[00:37] <ajhtiredwolf_> Hemebond: do you know how though? :-P
[00:37] <Hemebond> ajhtiredwolf_: Google.
[00:37] <IndyGunFreak> Masterof9puppets: try installing audacious, see if it works
[00:37] <Hemebond> ajhtiredwolf_: I've never bothered to do it myself.
[00:37] <ajhtiredwolf_> Hemebond: which is what ive been doing with no luck, so i asked here
[00:37] <IndyGunFreak> Wolphie_: do you have nvidia-settings open?
[00:37] <Wolphie_> Yes
[00:38] <IndyGunFreak> click on Xserver display configuration
[00:38] <Pwhdavey> dragonlotus: it still hasn't worked yet. I can't view Flash content (I just don't get the 'Install Missing Plugins' sign)
[00:38] <Masterof9puppets> IndyGunFreak: None of the music players work for this

[00:39] <afallenhope> Hemebond: what' ubuntu-desktop ?
[00:39] <Hemebond> ajhtiredwolf_: Seem fairly easy http://tutorialninjas.net/2007/01/14/installing-ventrilo-for-windows-on-wine-linux/
[00:39] <afallenhope> Hemebond:  what's * because that got removed after I removed when I removed that driver
[00:39] <Hemebond> afallenhope: That's a wrapper package that contains/requires other Gnome packages.
[00:39] <Hemebond> afallenhope: * ?
[00:39] <morgan555> I have been having a problem with firefox closing whenever a Youtube type video starts, I can restore previous session play one video and repeat if I want to watch another video
[00:40] <afallenhope> Hemebond: I'm not going to lose the GUI am I?
[00:40] <Hemebond> afallenhope: Not usually. Easy to reinstall though.
[00:40] <afallenhope> Hemebond:  to would I reinstall it?
[00:40] <afallenhope> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ?
[00:40] <Hemebond> afallenhope: If it's just removed ubuntu-desktop then you're fine; it doesn't contain anything itself.
[00:40] <Laurenceb> ok, what should I look for in session preferences?
[00:40] <jedimind> anyone ?
[00:40] <ajhtiredwolf_> Hemebond:  yeah thats the easy part :P getting it to work is whats hard
[00:41] <Hemebond> ajhtiredwolf_: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Ventrilo_Via_Wine ?
[00:41] <Pwhdavey> I have a problem. Use Ubuntu. Have installed Gnash and FlashPlayer plugins for Firefox and just activated the flash player (Adobe). But I still can't view Flash content on other websites (yet the 'install missing plugins' sign does not appear)
[00:41] <Hemebond> Laurenceb: Anything you're not using.
[00:42] <afallenhope> Hemebond: how would I reinstall it?
[00:42] <Hemebond> afallenhope: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[00:42] <afallenhope> oh..what's the different apt-get and aptitude?
[00:42] <afallenhope> or is it the same?
[00:42] <Hemebond> afallenhope: Similar but aptitude is better.
[00:43] <HardDisk> !better
[00:43] <DIL> how can i upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10 to 7.04 t0 7.10 ...... don't ask?
[00:43] <SeaPhor> i am trying to mount an extra sata drive, i have 3 160gb sata drives, 1 has /, /home, and swap on it, the other 2 are fresh-formatted to ext3, fstab says the one with /, /home, and swap is dev/sdb1-6, but fdisk -l says dev/sda, and dev/sdb are clear and dev/sdc has 1-6 and the /, /home, and swap,,, so which is right?
[00:43] <Hemebond> Anyway, I'm off to reinstall Ubuntu onto an existing RAID0 partition.
[00:43] <IndyGunFreak> DIL: you should be able to go from 6.06 to 8.04, since they are both LTS
[00:43] <HardDisk> DIL, technically you can, but be prepared to have things breaking.  backup backup backup, the best suggestion is to do a clean install.
[00:43] <Hemebond> Actually... I might burn a LiveCD first.
[00:44] <HardDisk> ah he's on 6.06..
[00:44] <HardDisk> sorry, late night :)
[00:44] <prabu> hello
[00:44] <whileimhere> Hi. What package is it that will enable auto spellcheck on all gnome apps?
[00:44] <HardDisk> DIL, yea 6.06 straight to 8.04
[00:44] <DIL> ty IndyGunFreak, HardDisk
[00:44] <HardDisk> DIL, but backup still.
[00:44] <prabu> how to get kiba dock ?
[00:44] <m0u5e> DIL: i would just recommend reformatting the system, you will get a cleaner install
[00:44] <IndyGunFreak> yes, definitely back up
[00:44] <ajhtiredwolf_> Hemebond: do you know, is there supposed to be a Input and Output listening under ALSA in the audio settings in the wine cfg. I have wave out and in, midi out and in, but no regular out and in
[00:44] <HardDisk> hey IndyGunFreak
[00:44] <IndyGunFreak> !upgrade | DIL
[00:44] <m0u5e> DIL: back up data + reformat is infinitely faster than upgrade
[00:44] <megahealth> gibts auf der live cd eine möglichkeit root zu werden ohne sudo zu benutzen?
[00:44] <HardDisk> just got in from work, long day.
[00:44] <megahealth> oh sorry
[00:44] <Masterof9puppets> Is there anyone that can enter a query with me about this?
[00:44] <IndyGunFreak> HardDisk: understood, likewise.
[00:45] <m0u5e> DIL: an upgrade would take hours, a back up and reformat will take the time took to back up + 20 minutes
[00:45] <HardDisk> almost 3am, so I will only stay for a bit
[00:45] <prabu> any 1 knows how to get kiba dock ?
[00:45] <Hemebond> ajhtiredwolf_: Wine settings should be fine. Can you record in "Sound Recorder"?
[00:45] <IndyGunFreak> m0u5e: i agree w/ that.. i never upgrade, but if he's gonna upgrade, going from 6.06 to 8.04 will be easiest
[00:45] <m0u5e> DIL: not only will you have a clean install, but you're won't have possible breaks / overlapping applications
[00:45] <HardDisk> m0u5e, he may be running a server, therefore an upgrade may be better for him, he has to decide.
[00:45] <DIL> i have 8.04 but it would not install on an old system so i went back to 6.04 which installed ok so working the hard way to 8.04
[00:46] <m0u5e> DIL: like HardDisk said, its up to you :), if you're running a server it may be the best course of action...
[00:46] <lejon> anyone here with good knowledge about ln and symlinks?
[00:46] <IndyGunFreak> DIL: if you have all your important files backed up, i'd just do a clean install.;
[00:46] <Hemebond> lejon: I've used them.
[00:46] <jrib> lejon: best to just ask the channel your question
[00:46] <ajhtiredwolf_> Hemebond: hmmm no i cant, i can hear myself though the speakres though
[00:46] <Hemebond> ajhtiredwolf_: Ah. You need to get recording working there first.
[00:47] <lejon> Well my question was if someone knew stuff about them
[00:47] <IndyGunFreak> DIL: how old is this machine?
[00:47] <hypoon> hey guys. anyone know how I can read jackmidi from an alsamidi program?
[00:47] <lejon> The man page doesn't say me that much, so I'd appreciate if someone explained it to me
[00:47] <Hemebond> lejon: They're links but they're fking awesome.
[00:47] <Hemebond> lejon: And Windows doesn't have them.  I've been trying to fix this for a few hours and NOTHINGS worked
[00:48] <jrib> lejon: that's the question you should ask.  symbolic links are like shortcuts, one file points to another
[00:48] <lejon> Hemebond, I know, but I have no idea how to set them up, I have known but that was 2 years ago when I had linux in school :P
[00:48] <jrib> lejon: ln -s TARGET NAME
[00:48] <Hemebond> HardDisk: This is a family channel?
[00:48] <DIL> IndyGunFreak: p3 gateway solo 9000
[00:48] <ajhtiredwolf_> Hemebond: seems weird that it woudl work as in i can hear myself but for some reason  icant record
[00:48] <HardDisk> Hemebond, it's ubuntu's official channel, so yes.
[00:48] <IndyGunFreak> DIL: how much ram?.. that should support 8.04 fine
[00:48] <lejon> jrib I know how I should ask a question on what they are, but I wanted to know if someone used them and then ask my question to that dude  ;)
[00:48] <DIL> IndyGunFreak: 284
[00:49] <HardDisk> DIL, you may have issues with GUI, you might want to try xfce/flux/e17
[00:49] <jrib> lejon: may I pm?
[00:49] <Hemebond> HardDisk: Okay. Windows is dog-doody.
[00:49] <IndyGunFreak> DIL: its a little low.. might want to look at Xubuntu
[00:49] <lejon> jrib, Please do, I'd like to learn :P
[00:49] <tj13820> does anyone know how to do "cross server redundancy" or servers with complete images of all services/files as a backup for events like downtime?
[00:49] <TuniX12> Hemebond: windows is awesom :D
[00:49] <TuniX12> rofl
[00:49] <DIL> IndyGunFreak: i had 7.10 on it but drive crashed  it was ok then
[00:50] <Wolphie> Ok, got everything working now
[00:50] <whileimhere> Are there really any good alternatives to F-Spot, Digikam, or Picassa?
[00:50] <IndyGunFreak> Wolphie: good
[00:50] <SeaPhor> i am trying to mount an extra sata drive, i have 3 160gb sata drives, 1 has /, /home, and swap on it, the other 2 are fresh-formatted to ext3, fstab says the one with /, /home, and swap is dev/sdb1-6, but fdisk -l says dev/sda, and dev/sdb are clear and dev/sdc has 1-6 and the /, /home, and swap,,, so which is right?
[00:50] <HardDisk> whileimhere, checked synaptic?
[00:50] <Hemebond> whileimhere: What are you after?
[00:51] <lejon> !ln > lejon
[00:51] <Wolphie> Is it possible to make it so the desktop wallpaper doesn't stretch?
[00:51] <Masterof9puppets> anyone?
[00:51] <Wolphie> But rather duplicated in each monitor
[00:51] <whileimhere> Hemebond well I like Digikam but there seems to be a lot of overhead if you dont have KDE installed.
[00:51] <tj13820> does anyone know how to do "cross server redundancy" or servers with complete images of all services/files as a backup for events like downtime?
[00:51] <Hemebond> whileimhere: What does it do?
[00:51] <TuniX12> SeaPhor:  the two !
[00:51] <cn28h1> Masterof9puppets, real questions are better than meta questions... what problem are you having?
[00:52] <Hemebond> What Ubuntu really needs is XnView.
[00:52] <SeaPhor> TuniX12, ?
[00:52] <whileimhere> Digikam? Its a photomanagement program
[00:52] <Masterof9puppets> cn28h1: (07:48:03 PM) Masterof9puppets: Please, is there anyone with experience playing mp3's that can enter a query with me about why mines not working? I've been trying to fix this for a few hours and NOTHINGS worked
[00:52] <HardDisk> Hemebond, run it in wine :)
[00:52] <larryone> I am having wireless nightmares - after upgrade to heron it stopped working, what can I do?
[00:52] <cn28h1> Masterof9puppets, yes I saw that.. explain?
[00:52] <tj13820> larryone: i'll help you PM me
[00:52] <garrett__> larryone: what chipset?
[00:52] <LimCore> SeaPhor: strange.... perhaps reboot to be sure.
[00:52] <larryone> intel
[00:52] <garrett__> larryone: specifically.
[00:53] <tj13820> larryone: use lsmod to find out what chipset
[00:53] <TuniX12> SeaPhor:  in fact the name of hd are changes on linux latest versions
[00:53] <garrett__> larryone: lspci
[00:53] <tj13820> larryone : lspci
[00:53] <larryone>  PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
[00:53] <Hemebond> HardDisk: Ugh. I'm resisting doing that. Most Linux alternatives are fine. The whole image organiser thing is one where the alts aren't too great. They do the job though.
[00:53] <tj13820> larryone: then lsmod to see if it is loaded
[00:53] <SeaPhor> LimCore, have 2x
[00:53] <Masterof9puppets> cn28h1: Ive done everything I should have had to do to get .mp3s to work, but they still dont
[00:53] <whileimhere> Larryone I have tones of issues with 8.04. It doesnt even recognize any of my external drives or CDRoms anymore. I had to re-install 7.10.
[00:53] <Masterof9puppets> They dont work in any audio program
[00:53] <cn28h1> Masterof9puppets, does sound work otherwise?
[00:53] <Hemebond> Masterof9puppets: VLC?
[00:53] <brandan_> I have Ubuntu, i got the Edubuntu artwork from  Synaptic, is there a Xubuntu artwork file anywhere?
[00:53] <tj13820> Masterof9puppets: did you install the restriced modules?
[00:54] <tj13820> Masterof9puppets: for MP3/WMV/MOV/etc.
[00:54] <Pwhdavey> dialup help? how can I stop my computer from auto-dialling when I start up my laptop?
[00:54] <Masterof9puppets> I've done all of those
[00:54] <SeaPhor> TuniX12, one calls it /dev/sdb, the other calls it /dev/sdc ??
[00:54] <garrett__> Larry_: have you googled about for issues with your driver?
[00:54] <Masterof9puppets> Yes, cn28h1, sound works
[00:54] <tj13820> Masterof9puppets: did you restart?
[00:54] <Cheesypieces> hi guys, when i switch my resolution to 1024x768 and then back again all my icons move down a bit- how can i stop this?
[00:54] <Masterof9puppets> not yet tj13820
[00:54] <Masterof9puppets> WOuld that do it?
[00:54] <tj13820> Masterof9puppets: :-)
[00:54] <tj13820> Masterof9puppets: might
[00:54] <Masterof9puppets> Ah, thanks
[00:54] <Masterof9puppets> brb then haha
[00:54] <tj13820> Masterof9puppets: let me know
[00:55] <Hemebond> Ahah! tj13820 really is a Windows fanboy.
[00:55] <HardDisk> !restart :)
[00:55] <HardDisk> we def need one
[00:55] <ubuntu_> hello
[00:55] <garrett__> Larry_: and have you made sure that your wifi card is actually on?  ie: fn+f2?
[00:55] <ubuntu_> i m in need of help
[00:55] <TuniX12> SeaPhor: http://www.debian.org/releases/potato/m68k/ch-partitioning.html#s-disk-naming
[00:55] <cn28h1> er, why would he have to restart?
[00:55] <tj13820> Homebond: no, but updates and core installs require restarts in ANY operatings system. Unix linux or otherwise
[00:55] <HardDisk> he doesn't
[00:55] <cn28h1> this isn't windows haha
[00:55] <ajhtiredwolf_> How do you enable the desktop cube?
[00:55] <HardDisk> tj13820, not with restricted extras.
[00:56] <Hemebond> ajhtiredwolf_: Through the advanced compiz preferences.
[00:56] <cn28h1> ajhtiredwolf_, using compiz-fusion
[00:56] <tj13820> Homebond: he has installed MP3 from restricted, and done alot more stuff that we might not know about. hmm, why would a restart be necessary
[00:56] <brandan_> What's a better desktop for keeping my PC on 24/7 and more stable, Gnome or KDE4 ?
[00:56] <Hemebond> ajhtiredwolf_: "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings"
[00:56] <ubuntu_> i am trying to install ubuntu and i cannot install it to my drive it is formatted in Ext2 and the other in ntfs with a 2 gb swap could some one give me a hand with this
[00:56] <ajhtiredwolf_> Hemebond:  wheres that located?
[00:56] <SeaPhor> TuniX12, what does that have to do with fstab calling a drive b and fdisk calling it c?
[00:56] <Jaikkuli> i recall there is a plugin for archive manager to allow extracting of rar files.. can anyone point in the right direction?
[00:56] <tj13820> brandan: Gnome is usable, KDE4 is "windows like"
[00:56] <HardDisk> ajhtiredwolf, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[00:57] <HardDisk> ajhtiredwolf, if you haven't done that first.
[00:57] <Pwhdavey> dialup help? how can I stop my computer from auto-dialling when I start up my laptop?
[00:57] <Hemebond> tj13820: Here's a chill-pill. It was a joke.
[00:57] <matsdb> brandan_, KDE4 is still quite new, so its more unstable for now
[00:57] <cn28h1> KDE3 is still fine
[00:57] <Hemebond> ajhtiredwolf_: You have to install it.
[00:57] <brandan_> I can get KDE 3 from Synaptic ?
[00:57] <tj13820> Homebond: i know ;-) but you called me out on M$ <3 :-P
[00:57] <ajhtiredwolf_> Hemebond: its a seperate package?
[00:57] <garrett__> SeaPhor: your /dev/ names changed?
[00:57] <HardDisk> ajhtiredwolf_, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[00:57] <cn28h1> brandan_, see kubuntu-desktop package
[00:57] <Hemebond> ajhtiredwolf_: Yes. HardDisk showed you the commands abnove.
[00:57] <HardDisk> please read and not ignore.
[00:57] <SeaPhor> TuniX12, and both starting with /dev/sdX
[00:58] <brandan_> It will automatically add to my login screen?
[00:58] <cn28h1> should, yeah
[00:58] <matsdb> under sessions on your login-screen
[00:58] <ajhtiredwolf_> HardDisk: sorry when you typed my name it didnt highlight
[00:58] <garrett__> SeaPhor: i'd trust fdisk more than fstab.. if fdisk says your parition's /dev/sdab and fstab says it's /dev/sdac, fstab's wrong.
[00:58] <HardDisk> ajhtiredwolf_, use one nickname.
[00:58] <SeaPhor> garrett__,  yes,,, i have 3 160gb sata drives, 1 has /, /home, and swap on it, the other 2 are fresh-formatted to ext3, fstab says the one with /, /home, and swap is dev/sdb1-6, but fdisk -l says dev/sda, and dev/sdb are clear and dev/sdc has 1-6 and the /, /home, and swap,,, so which is right?
[00:58] <Masterof9puppets> Your my hero tj13820
[00:58] <ubuntu_> could some one direct me to a channel that i can get instalation help in
[00:58] <tj13820> Masterof9puppets: no problem.
[00:58] <HardDisk> ubuntu_, are you installing for the first time?
[00:58] <tj13820> Masterof9puppets: glad it worked for you
[00:59] <ubuntu_> no i am trying to install ubuntu ulitimate and it is not allowing me to install on my drives
[00:59] <Masterof9puppets> Wish i thought of that an hour or two earlier =p
[00:59] <matsdb> ubuntu ultimate?
[00:59] <brandan_> cn28h1: where do I get kubuntu desktop artwork, and can I uninstall it after?
[00:59] <HardDisk> ubuntu_, even though ubuntu ultimate is popular, I would suggest to use the ubuntu cd's
[00:59] <HardDisk> ubuntu_, and use this guide, www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-8.04-lts-hardy-heron
[01:00] <SeaPhor> garrett__, no, not sdab, sdb, and not sdac, sdc,    different Hadr Drives, not partitions
[01:00] <garrett__> SeaPhor: but just mount one of the partitions and check for yourself.
[01:00] <cn28h1> brandan_, kde-look.org and sure
[01:00] <afallenhope> well.. I lost the weather now :-s'
[01:00] <ubuntu_> well yes i have no trouble with them i am just trying to install this
[01:00] <ajhtiredwolf_> Hemebond: thanks
[01:00] <ajhtiredwolf_> HardDisk: thanks
[01:00] <cn28h1> brandan_, personally I like KDE much more.. but it's all about preference ;P if you don't like it removing it should not be difficult
[01:00] <garrett__> SeaPhor: mkdir /mnt/whatever mount -t ext2 /dev/sdb /mnt/whatever
[01:00] <brandan_> cn28h1: thanks, n thanks 4 link
[01:00] <cn28h1> np
[01:00] <garrett__> SeaPhor: whichever one works works
[01:00] <HardDisk> ubuntu_, try the ubuntu ultimate forum.
[01:00] <garrett__> SeaPhor: my guess is the ones listed in fdisk will work
[01:01] <garrett__> SeaPhor: or ext3 or ext4 or reiserfs or whatever fs you're using
[01:01] <ubuntu_> i will search there , thank you .
[01:02] <matsdb> anyone gotten fish for irssi to compile succesfully on ubuntu?
[01:03] <dhonn> why does firefox crash so much?
[01:03] <brandan_> there is www.kde-look.org but whats the site for Gnome? I seen it, its just like that one but for Gnome
[01:03] <HardDisk> dhonn, check your addons/flash
[01:03] <matsdb> gnome-look.org
[01:03] <brandan_> ty
[01:03] <TuniX12> SeaPhor:  to be sure sudo apt-get install testdisk
[01:03] <Wolphie> Is there another application other than running iTunes via Wine that detects and allows you to transfer songs to iPod Touch?
[01:03] <dhonn> HardDisk i have flashblock
[01:03] <afallenhope> After I did sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio my weather next to my time doesn't work :(
[01:04] <matsdb> Wolphie, tried amarok?
[01:04] <HardDisk> Wolphie, I don't own an ipod, but you may use exaile/amarok/gtkpod
[01:04] <SeaPhor> TuniX12, ok, i will, but what is that?
[01:04] <afallenhope> !amarok | Wolphie
[01:04] <Pwhdavey> dialup help? how can I stop my computer from auto-dialling when I start up my laptop?
[01:05] <HardDisk> Wolphie, even default rhythmbox does ipods.
[01:05] <TuniX12> its a powerfull tool  that can list your partitons
[01:05] <dhonn> This version ubuntu sucks.  Every version before it was extremely stable.  Now firefox just crashes randomly
[01:05] <SeaPhor> TuniX12, to run it is it sudo testdisk?
[01:05] <HardDisk> SeaPhor, did you run sudo fdisk -l ?
[01:05] <TuniX12> yes
[01:05] <Wolphie> Is there any docs to configure it to detect the ipod?
[01:05] <Hemebond> dhonn: Because Ubuntu included a Firefox beta with 8.04.
[01:06] <dhonn> i never had any stability problems with firefox betas on windows ever
[01:06] <HardDisk> Hemebond, it's RC3 now.
[01:06] <TuniX12> SeaPhor: testdisk will give you the right answer
[01:06] <SeaPhor> HardDisk,   yes,,, i have 3 160gb sata drives, 1 has /, /home, and swap on it, the other 2 are fresh-formatted to ext3, fstab says the one with /, /home, and swap is dev/sdb1-6, but fdisk -l says dev/sda, and dev/sdb are clear and dev/sdc has 1-6 and the /, /home, and swap,,, so which is right?
[01:06] <Hemebond> HardDisk: It corrupts my profile every time I close it which is why I'm going to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch.
[01:06] <SeaPhor> TuniX12, Thank you,   i will try that after a reboot, so all is clean
[01:06] <HardDisk> Hemebond, just rm your .mozilla folder.
[01:07] <cn28h1> reinstalling ubuntu sounds a little overkill
[01:07] <Hemebond> HardDisk: Done it all. Corrupts toolbars every time it's closed/opened.
[01:07] <Hemebond> I'm off to reinstall.
[01:07] <HardDisk> I know him
[01:07] <benkay> I hope he's not actually reinstalling.
[01:07] <HardDisk> a known troll
[01:08] <benkay> Anyone here familiar with pppoe?
[01:08] <HardDisk> bbiab.
[01:08] <gaintsura> anyone know of a time tracking program that allows exporting via csv or text?
[01:08] <benkay> What do you mean by a "time tracking program"?
[01:08] <garrett__> benkay: tracking how much time you put in on a project
[01:08] <gaintsura> a program that logs time spent on whatever, similar to toggl.com's app
[01:08] <brandan_> How do i install themes? I clicked on GDM themes on gnome look and it downloads and its in a .zip  ...Do i place the files somewhere or what? thank u :-)
[01:09] <garrett__> benkay: like--click a timer when you start, click a timer when you stop.
[01:09] <benkay> garrett__: sorry, I don't know much about that kind of software.
[01:09] <DIL> open office has a project application doesn't it
[01:09] <gaintsura> DIL: I dont know...
[01:10] <afallenhope> Is there a  reason whyu I can't see the weather next to my clock? I enabled it/.. :-s
[01:10] <garrett__> gaintsura: have you checked freshmeat.net?  I found one for win32 quite awhile ago
[01:10] <eboyjr> How do I change my display driver back to vesa?
[01:10] <gaintsura> DIL: it only has a task management system, doesn't log time
[01:10] <garrett__> afallenhope: have you set your zipcode/weather code?
[01:10] <Flannel> DIL: No, but there are other project apps.  Try planner
[01:11] <illriginal> Anyone know a good wma to mp3 converter?
[01:11] <gaintsura> garrett__: no I haven't, let me take a look
[01:11] <AndrewGearhart> anybody done an install of vmware player / server that could help out?
[01:11] <dracula_> hello all
[01:11] <benkay> illriginal: ffmpeg or mencoder would probably do the trick, if you are not afraid of the commandline.
[01:12] <illriginal> <,< benkay there's no specific program that can do this?
[01:12] <illriginal> I would have to ffmpeg commands to convert?
[01:12] <afallenhope> garrett__: yup
[01:12] <Cheesypieces> hi guys, how do i create a shortcut to a command that uses sudo?
[01:12] <Ziggyzxxyl> I want to install Ubuntu along side Fedora on my laptop. But when I run the installer, I am given no option but to format the  Fedora partition.. it just shows up as Unknown 74Gb LVM... How can I get around this?
[01:12] <garrett__> afallenhope: which one?
[01:13] <afallenhope> Cheesypieces: gksudo
[01:13] <garrett__> afallenhope: the stock gnome one or one of the desktop applets?
[01:13] <benkay> illriginal: again commandline, but try this site http://en.linuxreviews.org/MPlayer#WMA_to_MP3
[01:13] <therion> How i can detect hd informations in a command?
[01:13] <afallenhope> garrett__: which ever one is next to the clock
[01:13] <illriginal> thanks benkay :D
[01:13] <Fabrice_Lyon> !rm
[01:14] <benkay> illriginal: there are no programs I know of off hand with a GUI. However, if you burn the songs to CD (can be done via GUI) you can then rip them back onto your hard drive in whatever format you want (also doable via GUI).
[01:14] <gaintsura> garrett__: thanks for the heads up on freshmeat, found exactly what I wanted
[01:14] <Cheesypieces> afallenhope: i've just tried gksudo and it doesn't do anything when i click the shortcut
[01:14] <afallenhope> Cheesypieces: hmm.. sorry
[01:14] <Cheesypieces> ok, nps
[01:14] <FurryNemesis> !ccsm
[01:15] <afallenhope> garrett__: as for my problem... I fixed it.. had to click the time.. than  from there I had click on "Locations" then it showed the weather with a button that said "Set" click on that
[01:15] <garrett__> gaintsura: sure thing
[01:15] <benkay> eboyjr: Are you using a restricted driver? If so, look under your restricted driver settings to switch back to an open source display driver.
[01:15] <eboyjr> I'm not
[01:16] <garrett__> gaintsura: what'd you find, btw?  i haven't looked for a linux one yet
[01:16] <Fabrice_Lyon> !xorg
[01:16] <brandan_> I downloaded 2 files from gnome look I can't open either, one  was  .zip other was .rar ....Won't open...is it my PC or the package?
[01:16] <gaintsura> garrett__: am I to assume that freshmeat's downloads arent in a repo anywhere?
[01:16] <illriginal> benkay... I can't even understand what that is askin me to do <,<
[01:16] <gaintsura> garrett__: its called achevio http://www.achievo.org/download/releasenotes/1_3_2
[01:16] <Ziggyzxxyl> I want to resize my Fedora partitions and install Ubuntu in the resultant free space. But GParted is not recognising the Fedora partitions - why?
[01:16] <mak2> hi I just transferred some files from an external drive. I cant delete any of them. it says Read-only file system. Ive tried chmod and chown
[01:16] <garrett__> gaintsura: hit and miss.  lots of the stuff on freshmeat is just a tarball that you ./configure ; make ; make install
[01:16] <afallenhope> Cheesypieces: you need to make "gksudo ; command here"
[01:17] <gaintsura> right
[01:17] <garrett__> gaintsura: or rather most of it is
[01:17] <dmsuperman> What's the command for the default bittorrent client in gutsy?
[01:17] <akahige> i'm in gnome hardy.  my keyboard and mouse mapping has gone crazy. shift doesn't work. / closes windows. can't focus a window by mouse click unless i click the titlebar. don't know how to fix this other than reboot. anybody have a better option...
[01:17] <afallenhope> akahige: are you running VMware
[01:17] <brandan_> What's a different program I can get for opening Archives?
[01:17] <akahige> afallenhope -- yes
[01:18] <afallenhope> akahige: that's the issue ;) I have the same problem.
[01:18] <benkay> illriginal: try the burning to CD thing if you are really confused.  Then make the file executable with "chmod u+x convertmymusic.sh". Finally, move the file to the directory with your wma files and run it with "./convertmymusic.sh"
[01:18] <akahige> afallenhope -- is there any kind of fix. this sucks.
[01:18] <Masterof9puppets> Anyone know how I would install http://plugins.guifications.org/trac/downloads ?
[01:18] <Masterof9puppets> Its a pidgin plugin pack
[01:18] <afallenhope> akahige: to be honest I don't really know. if you find anything let me know lol.
[01:19] <afallenhope> Masterof9puppets: you need to download it to your /var/pidgin/plugins
[01:19] <Masterof9puppets> How would I do that afallenhope?
[01:19] <akahige> afallenhope -- do you know what triggers it.  seems like everything will be fine and then... bam...
[01:19] <FurryNemesis> !webcams
[01:19] <DIL> mak2: sudo chmod 777
[01:20] <eboyjr> How do I change my video driver?
[01:20] <afallenhope> akahige:  I don't even know.
[01:20] <akahige> afallenhope -- thanks. guess i'm rebooting...
[01:20] <brandan_> What's a different program I can get for opening Archives?
[01:20] <benkay> eboyjr: you can certainly change it by editing "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" (be sure to back up that file in case you mess up).
[01:21] <afallenhope> Masterof9puppets: wget http://downloads.guifications.org/plugins//Plugin%20Pack/purple-plugin_pack-2.3.0.tar.bz2 ; tar zxvf purple-plugin_pack-2.3.0.tar.bz2  ; make ; sudo make install
[01:21] <SeaPhor> ok, testdisk agreed with fdisk -l, /dev/sdb has no partitions and sdc has 1-6, not sdb.  so how do i edit fstab and tell it that  cause it is calling the /, /home, swap, and ntfs /dev/sdb1-6???
[01:21] <benkay> brandan_: what program are you using now, and what additional functionality are you looking for?
[01:22] <Masterof9puppets> Thanks afallenhope
[01:22] <garrett__> SeaPhor: just edit /etc/fstab
[01:22] <brandan_> benkay: most archive's I am downloading just won't open with the built in archiver, that is why I'm looking for a new one
[01:22] <remu> hey guys, I have a REALLY weird problem, I just restarted my computer, and now compiz wont turn on, its REALLY weird, it was working just fine when I turned my computer off last tme
[01:22] <afallenhope> np master_of_master
[01:22] <afallenhope> Masterof9puppets*
[01:22] <Bhavesh> yay i found a kernel bug, it says so itself!
[01:22] <remu> and now if I go to appearance and go to turn on the desktop effects, it says it cant
[01:22] <benkay> brandan_: are you running Gnome or KDE? Also, what is the file extension of these archives that won't open?
[01:23] <gaintsura> holy hell that was unhappy
[01:23] <SeaPhor> garrett__, ty for trying but plz read the whole question
[01:23] <remu> however, I have the driver still installed and everything, I didnt even make a change
[01:23] <brandan_> benkay:  Gnome and they were  .zip and .rar
[01:24] <afallenhope> Masterof9puppets: what you using it for?.
[01:24] <garrett__> SeaPhor: fstab is just a file.  edit it and fix it
[01:24] <garrett__> SeaPhor: man fstab
[01:24] <gaintsura> man touch... man top >=P just wrong
[01:25] <Masterof9puppets> Pidgin afallenhope
[01:25] <Masterof9puppets> But, that didnt work :[
[01:25] <afallenhope> Masterof9puppets: did you read the error>
[01:25] <Masterof9puppets> yeah
[01:25] <garrett__> SeaPhor: from TFM TION
[01:25] <garrett__>        The  file  fstab  contains  descriptive information about the various file systems.  fstab is only read by programs, and not
[01:25] <garrett__>        written; it is the duty of the system administrator to properly create and maintain this file.
[01:25] <afallenhope> Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you. installed software in a non-standard prefix.
[01:25] <benkay> brandan_: try "sudo apt-get install rar", then try opening one of those files the usual way
[01:25] <Masterof9puppets> Error 404: Not found
[01:26] <Masterof9puppets> and some other stuff
[01:26] <benkay> Can anyone here help me with pppoe connection issue I'm having?
[01:27] <sudobash> what is the issue?
[01:27] <spanther> hello there :) i want to know how long this "scrollkeeper-update" runs at 100.0% CPU ?
[01:28] <benkay> spanther: depends on the size of your filesystem. Despite appearences, it runs at low processor priority and so shouldn't slow you down very much.
[01:28] <spanther> benkay, just wanted to ask if everythings fine :)   (sometimes things turned 100% because of a bug you know)
[01:29] <spanther> but now it was going down at 4% so i think its fine for now right?
[01:29] <brandan_> benkay: I got  http://www.4shared.com/get/49295260/62f089fc/Believe_Ubuntu_-_blue_GDM.html ..could you help me to install it? I'm not sure how
[01:29] <benkay> spanther: you can refer to this forum post if you like: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=578472
[01:29] <spanther> benkay, i will thank you very much hehe :)
[01:30] <benkay> spanther: unless you're computer is overheating, I wouldn't worry about it. Scrollkeeper only runs periodically and will stop on its own.
[01:30] <spanther> yup it stopped two minutes ago
[01:30] <spanther> its a tower so no overheating :)
[01:30] <idolguy> quit
[01:31] <sudobash> towers can overheat also depending on setup

[01:36] <benkay> sudobash: I have a Westell DSL modem connected to my computer via an ethernet cable. It came configured as a router, but I configured it in bridge mode. In a desktop install of Ubuntu, NetworkManager successfully gets an public (not NAT'd) IP address. Now I am trying to configure a ubuntu server installation to use the modem. But "sudo pppoeconf" ultimately results in a timeout and no working configuration.

[01:37] <pub> kale, is it possible to delete every instance of a file? for example say `firestarter`
[01:37] <matsdb> how do i get DVD support in xine? just installing xine and libdvdcss2?
[01:37] <kale> pub: locate firestarter
[01:37] <pub> kale, it's numerous places
[01:38] <kale> pub: Check over the list to see that every hit is what you want to delete
[01:38] <kale> pub: trust me, just do it
[01:38] <DIL> jason chmod
[01:38] <pub> i know i've done that, but i want to delete all of it, i have to do rm -r <everything> over and over?
[01:38] <benkay> brandan_: Yes, I can. (Also, feel free to PM me.) It looks like either the zip file you are trying to open is corrupt, or it has been split across multiple files, of which you are missing one or more.
[01:38] <jason> do i put that in terminal
[01:39] <benkay> matsdb: I think so. Have you tried it?
[01:39] <Bhavesh> pub: don't use rm -r without knowing what you are doing.. it's very dangerous command
[01:40] <DIL> jason, yes sudo chomd 777 /device/name note 777 will give everyone perms on the drive
[01:40] <kale> then, once you're sure pub: rm -irf $(locate firestarter)
[01:40] <matsdb> benkay, not yet... it says that libcssdvd2 dont have an install candidate
[01:40] <Laurenceb> hi, I'm trying to run wine
[01:40] <Laurenceb> I cant seem to be able to add a program
[01:40] <pub> kale, that will delete ALL files related to firestarter, correct?
[01:40] <mtx1> anyone else having sound delay in horay 8.04? also have a delay in opening any text editor, kate, gedit...etc ? anyone have any ideas? i have tried a few tutorials but still have same problem]
[01:41] <Laurenceb> so I go to the configuration options and browse
[01:41] <DIL> !hoary
[01:41] <pavan> Hello everyone
[01:41] <kale> pub: but make sure you learn what you're doing for future, ok, so rm ==  remove, -irf means "ask before doing it, recursively, force and $(slocate firestarter) means every instance of firestarter it can find
[01:41] <benkay> matsdb: that's because it's not in the standard repositories. See these directions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu

[01:50] <matsdb> jrib, why is it removed? :/
[01:50] <LtL> matsdb: xmms is gone, check out adacious

[02:05] <sudobash> its a strange problem for sure...
[02:06] <thruxton> Pwhdavey: thats if you do it in the command line (you'd need to install moby-thesauras)
[02:06]  * DIL and this too shall pass said he
[02:07] <Flannel> tmapj: ps aux, do you have a getty on tty1?
[02:07] <adamorjames> Is there a way to change the default directory nautilus shows when something such as a website wants me to search for a file?
[02:07] <thruxton> Pwhdavey: i have that alias line in my .zshrc, then i just type `thes someword' on the command line
[02:07] <Flannel> adamorjames: Probably, check in gconf
[02:07] <tmapj> Flannel i have no idea what you just said
[02:07] <adamorjames> ok Flannel
[02:07] <Pwhdavey> thruxton: thanks it d/lding now. Its going to take ages, I use dial-up.

[02:09] <mib> any suggestion for my sound problm
[02:09] <Flannel> Guest42: No, not sudo su.  kdesu for graphical programs.  Something in .kde is owned by root, you need to chown it all to your own user
[02:09] <ahboy> maybe that will fix it i am stumped.
[02:09] <tmapj> so what do i do?
[02:09] <mib> i try adjust the audio but it doesnt work.im not sure where i meesed up

[02:11] <tmapj> Flannel do you have any ideas on what i should do?
[02:11] <adamorjames> Is there a way to change the default directory nautilus shows when something such as a website wants me to search for a file?
[02:11] <jason> DIL what do i need to reformat it to ext-2 ext-3 linux-swap or reiserfs
[02:11] <YiMMMY> can you resize your os partions
[02:12] <Flannel> tmapj: I don't know, I'm not too familiar with the keyboard shortcut stuff.  chvt # is the way to manually do it, but I'm not sure how its set up shortcut wise.
[02:12] <DIL> jason, ext3 is fine
[02:12] <thruxton> Pwhdavey: pick one from the list and apt-get install it
[02:12] <Pwhdavey> thruxton: the OpenOffice.org English Thesaurus sounds good as that is what I want it for... but I tried 'sudo apt-get install (package name)' and it didn't work
[02:12] <Flannel> Guest42: sudo chown -R jacob:jacob ~/.kde
[02:12] <jason> DIL it will not let me write to it though
[02:12] <Nutzebahn> Hi. Does anyone know of any decent SMS server programs for Ubuntu? (other than Kannel)
[02:12] <Flannel> Guest42: that should do it
[02:12] <mib> ??

[02:13] <soldats> tmapj: that is manually
[02:13] <YiMMMY> can you resize/shrink  your os partions
[02:13] <jason> DIL if i format it to swap can i write to it
[02:13] <tmapj> soldats, what is manually?
[02:13] <rabelais> my machine boots just fine when connected to a normal computer monitor, but when connected to a TV, the boot time is greatly delayed. The location where it hangs is just after the grub menu, but before the kernel output (or perhaps the init scripts). I believe this is due to a kernel level monitor probe that is having trouble detecting the tv, I have set the vga= parameter, but it does not help, is there any other boot parameter I can set to sk
[02:13] <rabelais> ip the kernel-level probe of my monitor?
[02:13] <DIL> jason, dont label it as swap
[02:14] <hvgotcodes> hmm -- im also getting E: _cache->open() failed, please report. when i try to fire up package manager

[02:15] <afallenhope> fixed it lol.. sorry
[02:15] <Flannel> tmapj: `chvt 1` for instance, moves you to tty1, once there, chvt 7 will get you back. You might try changing to a text one, and then seeing if ctrl-alt-f7 gets you back to X.
[02:15] <benkay> nosa-j: If you are running Hardy Heron, then they should already be installed. What card are you using?
[02:16] <soldats> tmapj: flannel gave you a command to enter in the terminal to fix your problem, polease look it over and give it a try. entering the command is fixing it manually

[02:21] <nosa-j> benkay
[02:21] <Jef1> few quick questions if yall dont mind. assuming ive been through 4 pages or trouble shooting and still cant get my ati card to work right in linux. would envy be a good last ditch effort from now until i build my new computer?

[02:21] <Impiety> i have a pci geforce mx 400 on this old computer and i gl drivers aren't working...I've tried using everything to get it to work, but since i upgraded to 8.04 nothing works
[02:21] <Gunmanic> I have already tried adding things like Load DRI, mode 0666 and so on.  But I can't even run a chess game decently.. any ideas?

[02:21] <jason> very much
[02:22] <tmapj> just message me if you get any ideas
[02:22] <mib> please help guys
[02:22] <benkay> nosa-j: 3d windows games often fail to run properly in Wine. Do you have any particular reason to believe this game will run in Wine (i.e. are you following a HOWTO)?
[02:22] <DIL> jason, well you will be able to create one and then if you cannot write to it the n you can chmod the folder
[02:22] <Pwhdavey> thruxton: I closed OO down and done it again, it didn't show that error. So I went into Synaptic and found it, and chose to reinstall. It is doing so now... so I guess thats it. Thanks! :)
[02:22] <thornomad> can someone do me a favor - hardy user here trying to install LAME via "sudo aptitude install lame" but it is saying there is no such package and if I do a "aptitude search lame" it doesn't return a "lame" package ... all my repositories are enabled and I think it should be in there somewhere... if you do a "sudo aptitude search lame" do you return the right package ? thanks ...
[02:22] <nosa-j> benkay i talked to someone a few days back in this room thay told me thers insstalled fine
[02:23] <adamorjames> Is there a way to change the default directory nautilus shows when something such as a website wants me to search for a file?
[02:23] <thruxton> Pwhdavey: cool, glad you got it working!
[02:23] <benkay> Look here: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=2600
[02:23] <jason> iam back
[02:23] <tmapj> Flannel, soldats just message me if you get any ideas
[02:23] <nosa-j> benkay i have also look on windapp index site
[02:23] <DIL> jason, well you will be able to create one and then if you cannot write to it the n you can chmod the folder
[02:23] <tmapj> when i press Ctrl+Alt+F1 the console doesnt come up. can anyone help me with this?
[02:23] <Flannel> thornomad: lame is in multiverse, yes.
[02:23] <jason> DIL thats what it say when try to write to that file ou do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again.
[02:24] <Impiety> tmapj, do any of the other ones work?  like if you hit ctrl+alt+f2
[02:24] <thornomad> Flannel - that's strange - any reason when I try to do a search for it or an install it wouldn't find that package ?  I have run "update" recently and tried both apt-get and aptitude ... feel like I am doing something silly
[02:24] <Impiety> does it do anythign?
[02:24] <Gunmanic> anybody? I've been searching all over the net, and on the forums and I can't find anything to help me... plz :)
[02:24] <tmapj> Impiety, no, none of them work
[02:24] <Flannel> thornomad: pastebin your sources.list and I'll take a look
[02:24] <benkay> nosa-j: In /etc/X11/xorg.conf, your intel card should simply be configured as:
[02:24] <benkay> Section "Device"
[02:24] <benkay>         Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
[02:24] <benkay> EndSection
[02:24] <Guest42> Flannel, :) thx
[02:25] <Nutzebahn> Hi. Does anyone know of any decent SMS server programs for Ubuntu? (other than Kannel)
[02:25] <DIL> jason, do these steps step 1 - cd /media/disk-1 (hit enter) step2 ls - you should see the folder you create- sudo chmod 777 "folder name"
[02:25] <thornomad> Flannel: http://debian.pastebin.com/d283ddc07
[02:25] <soldats> tmapj: please give it a rest for a bit, dont spam the channel. the only idea i have is what flannel suggest looking for earlier, look up some lines and see what was written. a suggestion i saw a while back was that the resolution/refresh rate isnt correctly set. so look into that. im leaving so good luck and no spam please
[02:25] <benkay> nosa-j: If your graphics work in other 3d games, then you probably have a Wine related issue. You might find better help in a Wine forum or IRC channel.
[02:25] <nosa-j> ok then is open arena 3d?
[02:26] <nosa-j> benkay ive ran open arena fine
[02:26] <Impiety> tmapj, i had a problem with that too, but i can't remember what i did to fix it
[02:26] <benkay> nosa-j: Yes, Open Arena is a 3d game.
[02:26] <deinspanjer> Howdy folks.  I'd really appreciate a bit of help getting a prettier terminal.  I'm connecting from a Mac OS X Leopard running iTerm.  At the moment, I have the terminal currently set to xterm-color which gives me a pretty user prompt when I ssh in to my Ubuntu 8.04 server box.  Running aptitude under this setup looks okay for the first screen, but the menu is messed up and the display sometimes gets out of sync.  Here i
[02:26] <|Juan|> im having troubles when a second user logs in. i get this in syslog WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0
[02:26] <petriborg> ubuntu geeks -- has anyone tried installing the myth metapackage on 8.04 and how did it go for you? etc.
[02:26] <nosa-j> benkay hmm....
[02:26] <DIL> jason, how is it going
[02:27] <jason> that worked
[02:27] <nosa-j> benkay ill check the fourms on wine
[02:27] <deinspanjer> Also, if I try to use screen, things go down hill rapidly.  Aptitude and most things that use ncurses look bad.
[02:27] <jason> they should try to make it easyer
[02:27] <dmsuperman> Is anybody here an op in the ubuntu-offtopic channel?
[02:27] <Guest42> Flannel, can you explain to me what process is taking place when you typed sudo chown -R jacob:jacob ~/.kde
[02:27] <DIL> jason, i am sure it is
[02:27] <deinspanjer> I have done several google searches and haven't found the golden page that tells me how to fix everything so I thought I'd ask here and see if anyone had any pointers.
[02:27] <nosa-j> benkay open arena runs perfictly for me
[02:27] <tmapj> Impiety, try to remember
[02:27] <benkay> nosa-j: Good luck, and feel free to ask someone more knowledgeable in this channel as well.
[02:28] <nosa-j> ok ill keep that in mind

[02:28] <pub> kale, do you know anything about moblock?
[02:28] <remu> hey guys, I had manually installed the latest stable nvidia driver, but its causing me some grief right now, and I'd like to uninstall it so that I can use the restricted drivers manager one....any info as to how to go about doing this?
[02:28] <thruxton> deinspanjer: try a linux terminal for OSX, like http://rxvt-unicode.darwinports.com/
[02:28] <Pwhdavey> thruxton: how do I find it now that its installed? do I have to do a cache thing in terminal?
[02:29] <pub> does anybody know anything about moblock?
[02:29] <thruxton> Pwhdavey: yeah, something like dpkg -l | grep -v grep | grep somepackage

[02:29] <Gunmanic> does anyone here have very low fps on glxgears yet you have direct rendering?
[02:29] <Flannel> Guest42: Basically youre changing the owner and the group on all the files in .kde (-R is for recursive) back to yourself
[02:29] <deinspanjer> Guest42: sudo instructs the shell to run the following command as the super user. chown is the command to change ownership.  -R is the recursive flag.  jacob:jacob is the user and group name to change the ownership to. ~ expands to your home directory. /.kde is a hidden directory under your home directory containing KDE related configuration files.
[02:30] <soldats> Guest42: its a permission problem, that command changes it so you can access your files. in order for it to run you need permissions, the only suggestion i have thus far is sudo chown -R jacob:jacob ~/home/jacob
[02:30] <benkay> Can anyone help me with a pppoe issue? In a desktop install, NetworkManager connects to my dsl modem just fine. But in a server install, pppoe-conf tells me that "the access concentrator of your provider did not respond." Any ideas?
[02:30] <thruxton> deinspanjer: if you have the same software on OSX and your server you might have the same terminfo stuff and it will hopefully render correctly
[02:30] <Jack_Sparrow> |Juan| Please post a description of your problem and not just a link to it.
[02:30] <Impiety> tmapj, what kind of video card do you have
[02:30] <soldats> Guest42: but i say that seeing as it looks like you still dont have proper permissions/ownership
[02:31] <thruxton> Pwhdavey: dpkg -l | grep openoffice
[02:31] <|Juan|> I have a main user whos session I keep always open. Then I have a separate users for anyone else who wants to use the computer. Since I upgraded to Hardy, whenever the separate user logs in after my user's session is locked, it comes to a point when that separate user automatically leaves its session, goes to the gdm screen, re-authenticates and continues with its session while mine is killed.

[02:31] <tmapj> impiety: NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300
[02:31] <deinspanjer> thruxton: Hrm.  Okay.  What is the best term emulation to try to run with to get a "pretty" terminal? e.g. what is Ubuntu most suited to displaying in color and with good ncurses support?
[02:32] <thornomad> legend2440: hmm ... do you have the right deb line for that ? i'm just uncommenting what came with the install -- didn't realize something was missing ...
[02:32] <thruxton> deinspanjer: rxvt-unicode and xterm are both really good terminals
[02:32] <Flannel> thornomad: He's correct.  You only have main, restricted, and universe.  If you go to software sources, you can add mutliverse
[02:32] <Pwhdavey> thruxton: ok it says the language pack is 'comm'
[02:32] <thruxton> Pwhdavey: i have for example openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-us installed
[02:32] <Jack_Sparrow> |Juan| Thank you.. that will help you to get an answer to your problem
[02:32] <Flannel> thornomad: If you prefer editing, add " multiverse" everywhere you've got a "universe"
[02:32] <|Juan|> hopefully, ive coming here quite often with no answers
[02:32] <|Juan|> * been
[02:33] <Flannel> thornomad: so, deb [url] [version] universe becomes deb [url] [version] universe multiverse.  Or add them on separate lines, etc.
[02:33] <legend2440> thornomad: open synaptic then settings>repositories and put check mark next to multiverse  then hit Reload button
[02:33] <Drk_Guy> Phew!
[02:33] <Drk_Guy> Finally, nvidia's official driver is up and running
[02:33] <thornomad> Flannel: oh okay ... i see ... i have the old dapper-backports lines on there ... i didn't read it carefully enough
[02:33] <thruxton> deinspanjer: looks like gnome terminal is also in darwin ports, thats an easy one to do eye candy stuff with
[02:34] <thornomad> legend2440: thanks as well !  i have a server install so will have to do it manually
[02:34] <deinspanjer> thruxton: So you think what is actually going on here is that iTerm isn't up to snuff as far as emulation of xterm goes?
[02:35] <nosa-j> benkay thanks agen for all your help
[02:35] <thruxton> deinspanjer: im not sure, im not terminal guru, but as i understand it, the machine you ssh into has to have to correct terminfo file for the emulator your using, i would suspect the ubuntu server has no idea what iTerm is
[02:35] <Vi5i1> hello
[02:35] <thornomad> Flannel & legend2440: I got it!  thanks ... appreciate your quick help
[02:36] <Vi5i1> I just installed ubuntu (hardy) on my dell xps 1530
[02:36] <Slue_Gniffer> Anyone else's computer running really slow and choppy after an upgrade?
[02:36] <Pwhdavey> hi Vi5i1
[02:36] <Vi5i1> I have an nVidia card. When I go to System Administration -> Hardware drivers, I see the nvidia_new driver, already checked (under Enabled),but it says not in use.
[02:36] <Link1> vi5i1: try windows
[02:36] <Vi5i1> When I unchecked it and checked it, it said it needed a reboot. and so I rebooted. But it still says not-in-use
[02:37] <obake-san> hey, i just reinstalled ubuntu server without an internet connection and it skipped my network card setup. how do i get it set up through terminal (gdm isnt installed)
[02:37] <Vi5i1> Pwhdavey: I previously tried feisty and gutsy and when I did that I recall that it would download and install the drivers
[02:37] <chmhd> chmhd
[02:37] <Vi5i1> however in this case, it doesn't seem to be doing it
[02:38] <|Juan|> I have a main user whos session I keep always open. Then I have a separate users for anyone else who wants to use the computer. Since I upgraded to Hardy, whenever the separate user logs in after my user's session is locked, it comes to a point when that separate user automatically leaves its session, goes to the gdm screen, re-authenticates and continues with its session while mine is killed. Any clues?
[02:38] <Vi5i1> do I have to manually install the driver from nvidia's site?
[02:38] <Link1> yes
[02:38] <nekostar> obake-san your in luck
[02:38] <Vi5i1> Link1: Why isn't it downloading the drivers?
[02:38] <nekostar> ;)
[02:38] <Pwhdavey> thruxton: yes I did that... it told me the en-gb was 'comm'
[02:39] <nekostar> first do: dmesg|grep -i eth
[02:39] <nekostar> does it see something there?
[02:40] <obake-san> it says ethernet driver loaded
[02:40] <Gabe_G23> Hey everyone, I'm having a problem with my computer's resolution, it is currently 1280 x 800, and I want it to be 1280 x 768, can anyone help?
[02:40] <thruxton> Pwhdavey: if you use the OO thesaurus, you need to be in open office every time you want to look up something, is that what you wanted?
[02:40] <Slue_Gniffer> Anyone else's computer running really slow and choppy after an upgrade?
[02:40] <nekostar> ok
[02:40] <nekostar> there's just a couple files you need to edit
[02:40] <Pwhdavey> thruxton: yes
[02:40] <nekostar> join #flood please
[02:40] <Vi5i1> well, I did download the driver. Unfortunately I'm not entirely sure how to stop x running. I tried Fedora before and I did an "init 3" and then ran the driver install. however it doesn't seem to work here.
[02:40] <Vi5i1> I am relatively new to Linux. My experience lies mostly with FreeBSD
[02:40] <Pwhdavey> thruxton: I'm in there now but in Tools, 'Thesaurus (Ctrl+7)' is blanked out
[02:40] <Impiety> wow if you haev used freebsd, linux should be cake
[02:41] <otter> you can do it from the console
[02:41] <tech0007> Vi5i1: 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart'
[02:41] <thruxton> Pwhdavey: hmm so there are some other OO packages you need then maybe?
[02:41] <Vi5i1> Impiety: Not really. Things are in different places on Linux than I'm used to :)
[02:41] <tech0007>  Vi5i1: 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' to stop X
[02:41] <Pwhdavey> thruxton: I do not know :(
[02:41] <Impiety> yeah
[02:41] <mib> i try adjust my audio settings but it still doesnt work
[02:41] <Impiety> takes a sec to get used to the differences
[02:41] <mib> the sound onlly comes out after i plugged in my headset
[02:41] <Vi5i1> tech0007: thank you. Any idea why ubuntu isn't downloading the binary drivers for nvidia?
[02:41] <Gabe_G23> *Hey everyone, I'm having a problem with my computer's resolution, it is currently 1280 x 800, and I want it to be 1280 x 768, can anyone help?*
[02:41] <Impiety> but you will notice there's a lot of similarities
[02:41] <mib> i did chose the off-hook option
[02:41] <Pwhdavey> thruxton: isn't there a sudo apt-cache command or something?
[02:42] <Impiety> Vi5i1, what are you trying to do
[02:42] <thruxton> Pwhdavey: in synaptic can you find the openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-us package?
[02:42] <otter> gdm restart seems to take forever here, another way is with `start-stop-daemon /usr/sbin/gdm --start` (or --stop)
[02:42] <Pwhdavey> thruxton: yeah thats how I properly installed it (success)
[02:42] <remu> anyone know how I can remove the nvidia drivers I installed manually so I can install the restricted drivers manager version?
[02:42] <thruxton> Pwhdavey: apt-cache search dosent need sudo
[02:42] <Vi5i1> Impiety: I am trying to install the nvidia drivers from system -> administration ->hw drivers
[02:42] <tech0007> Vi5i1: no. check this http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#Install_restricted_drivers
[02:42] <Impiety> ohhh
[02:42] <Impiety> Vi5i1, for what card

[02:54] <HardDisk> ok im back
[02:54] <eboyjr> I had it set to 1 month
[02:54] <eboyjr> and it hasnt been 1 month
[02:54] <meoblast001> hi
[02:54] <eboyjr> hi!
[02:54] <HardDisk> eboyjr, check /etc/X11/
[02:55] <Impiety> whoa wasn't aware that ctrl+alt+backspace restarted gdm
[02:55] <Vi5i1> Impiety: didn't work. says module "nvidia" can't be found
[02:55] <Impiety> well restarted x
[02:55] <eboyjr> HardDisk: Sorry, I meant to say "to pastebin"
[02:55] <Impiety> oh okay
[02:55] <Vi5i1> should I try "nvidia_new"?
[02:55] <lordleemo> sudobash: at last you have learned! please dont try and flood me again because it doesnt work.  ps this is ubuntu linux support channel not for idiots trying to flood
[02:55] <Impiety> umm...1 sec
[02:55] <HardDisk> eboyjr, you need to know your number
[02:55] <Impiety> well do you have nvidia-glx installed?
[02:55] <Vi5i1> because that's what shows up in device drivers
[02:55] <whik> i downloaded and installed Americas army but when i click on the icon to start it nothing happens
[02:55] <eboyjr> HardDisk: Darn, thanks
[02:55] <Impiety> try opening a terminal and typiong sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx
[02:56] <HardDisk> whik, run it in terminal sh nameofile or ./nameoffile.bin
[02:56] <|Juan|> I have a main user whos session I keep always open. Then I have a separate users for anyone else who wants to use the computer. Since I upgraded to Hardy, whenever the separate user logs in after my user's session is locked, it comes to a point when that separate user automatically leaves its session, goes to the gdm screen, re-authenticates and continues with its session while mine is killed. Any clues?
[02:56] <HardDisk> whik, see if there's an error
[02:56] <meoblast001> im trying to set up a scanning service for my print server and im getting Failed to open device 'brother2:bus5;dev1'; Error during device I/O. how do i fix this?
[02:56] <HardDisk> whik, also read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AmericasArmy
[02:56] <Vi5i1> No candidate version found for nvidia-glxx
[02:56] <Vi5i1> *glx
[02:56] <Vi5i1> let me try device nvidia_new and see what happens
[02:56] <HardDisk> meoblast001, do you have the proper drivers installed? and did you check to see if ALL the hardware is compatible? if its an AIO device
[02:57] <whik> HardDisk no error is showing
[02:57] <tech0007> Vi5i1: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#Install_restricted_drivers
[02:57] <meoblast001> Harddisk: i installed the brother SANE driver on to the server
[02:57] <Vi5i1> tech0007: already looked at that
[02:57] <[T]ank> HardDisk: that was only 5 minutes... are you back now?
[02:57] <HardDisk> [T]ank, yep :)
[02:57] <legend2440> eboyjr: this irc is logged. if you know what date you pasted it you might find it       http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/
[02:57] <HardDisk> good point legend2440
[02:57] <HardDisk> :)
[02:57] <Oddd> hurm.. It is stuck in state "D".... bad feeling
[02:57] <eboyjr> legend2440: Oh, thanks
[02:58] <HardDisk> forgot about the irclogs
[02:58] <rob_> if i use the update manager to update to 8.04, how much does that check for other data outside my home folder?  does it just save the home directory and install everything else new, or does it just update the packages to new?
[02:58] <[T]ank> i have my bluetooth earpiece install and connected via blueman... went to do a test call in skype like you suggested the other day.... bluetooth audio device is not an option like i have read everywhere that it is supposed to be. any idea how to fix that?
[02:58] <tmapj> can anyone tell me how to open text editor in terminal?
[02:58] <HardDisk> [T]ank, what bluetooth headset is it?
[02:58] <rob_> tmapj: gedit
[02:58] <[T]ank> Jawbone
[02:58] <HardDisk> [T]ank, let me check something
[02:58] <tmapj> thnx
[02:58] <Impiety> that's it!
[02:59] <Impiety> gedit
[02:59] <Impiety> haha
[02:59] <Quintin> http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dgjt82rz_42gz2z7ghf <-- any more applications I should test?
[02:59] <HardDisk> [T]ank, did you try a sound test with any other app?
[02:59] <[T]ank> not yet... doing so now.
[02:59] <Impiety> anyone have any idea why none of the nvidia drivers work with my nvidia mx400
[02:59] <HardDisk> [T]ank, http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2007/10/04/how-to-connect-a-jawbone-headset-to-a-bluetooth-laptop-on-ubuntu-gutsy-and-then-use-skype/
[02:59] <Impiety> i cannot get gl to work
[02:59] <Impiety> i've used every driver
[02:59] <Vi5i1> Impiety: that didn't work either
[03:00] <complexity> whats up with the 8.04 bugs?
[03:00] <tech0007> Vi5i1: paste your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[03:00] <Vi5i1> tech0007: the problem is that it can't find the nvidia driver
[03:00] <zgold> I'm having some trouble installing ubuntu: the live cd installer has video issues (Screen flickers / nothing shows up, stays brown.  I think its because i have 2 video cards).  Any thoughts?
[03:01] <tech0007> Vi5i1: so ur using vesa now?
[03:01] <[T]ank> HardDisk: Rhythmbox no good either... reading your link now
[03:01] <HardDisk> Vi5i1, use the nv drivers
[03:01] <Vi5i1> tech0007: looks like it. i'm going to install the driver manually
[03:01] <Malik_> can some1 help me i can't get the internet to work iam connected with an ethernet to the router...i tireid directly to the modem it stilld idn't work
[03:02] <Phenax> Does anyone know how I can cross-compile for MIPS on X86?
[03:02] <HardDisk> Vi5i1, read up
[03:02] <Phenax> Specificially for uclibc
[03:02] <HardDisk> Vi5i1, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and use the nv drivers
[03:02] <rob_> (bump) if i use the update manager to update to 8.04, how much does that check for other data outside my home folder?  does it just save the home directory and install everything else new, or does it just update the packages to new?
[03:02] <tech0007> Vi5i1: add 'nv' instead of 'nvidia' xorg.conf
[03:02] <l3d>  I have a real audio file I would like to hear, But I dont know what to install to be able to play them. any help for this would be nice thank you.
[03:02] <HardDisk> rob_, it updates packages.
[03:02] <rob_> k, thanks
[03:02] <Vi5i1> HardDisk: I'm going to isntall the driver from nvidia's site
[03:02] <HardDisk> Vi5i1, no use the nv driver
[03:03] <HardDisk> Vi5i1, as tech0007 said change the nvidia in xorg.conf to nv
[03:03] <HardDisk> and restart x
[03:03] <|Juan|> I have a main user whos session I keep always open. Then I have a separate users for anyone else who wants to use the computer. Since I upgraded to Hardy, whenever the separate user logs in after my user's session is locked, it comes to a point when that separate user automatically leaves its session, goes to the gdm screen, re-authenticates and continues with its session while mine is killed. Any clues?
[03:03] <tech0007> HardDisk: Vi5i1 left
[03:03] <NorthLioness> I have Hardy.. an ati radeon mobility x600.. and my mosue lags. and flash games are way too slow...
[03:04] <HardDisk> hmm
[03:04] <HardDisk> NorthLioness, and you setup your driver correctly?
[03:04] <NorthLioness> anyone know what can help? and yes I have the latest drivers
[03:04] <tmapj> can anyone help me? my console isn't working outside X.
[03:05] <Impiety> it's still not working?
[03:05] <meoblast001> im trying to set up a scanning service for my print server and im getting Failed to open device 'brother2:bus5;dev1'; Error during device I/O. how do i fix this?
[03:05] <tmapj> impiety yes
[03:05] <HardDisk> NorthLioness, you need the xgl installed
[03:05] <tmapj> your solution didn't work
[03:05] <eboyjr> Is there a way to set my video drivers and stuff to the defaults that are on the Live CD?
[03:05] <Impiety> weird
[03:05] <NorthLioness> what is xgl?
[03:05] <HardDisk> eboyjr, restart the livecd
[03:06] <Impiety> well try typing "ps -e | grep tty"
[03:06] <HardDisk> !xgl | NorthLioness
[03:06] <Impiety> and see if it shows anything
[03:06] <JohnnyTi> can anyone here help me with C language? the channels isn't responding to me
[03:06] <IndyGunFreak> HardDisk: i could be wrong, but i'm thinking he installd, and he wants what was on the live cd, on the install..
[03:06] <HardDisk> IndyGunFreak, well good thing you're here to translate :)
[03:06] <afallenhope> hey is there a way of switchin between KDE and Gnome? like.. let's say one day I want to have KDE for a screen cast and then I want to do a GNOME screen cast I can just switch the session types? or is that not possible?
[03:06] <IndyGunFreak> HardDisk: lol, he wasn't real clear, at least thats what I think he wanted..
[03:06] <HardDisk> afallenhope, log out
[03:06] <|Juan|> I have a main user whos session I keep always open. Then I have a separate users for anyone else who wants to use the computer. Since I upgraded to Hardy, whenever the separate user logs in after my user's session is locked, it comes to a point when that separate user automatically leaves its session, goes to the gdm screen, re-authenticates and continues with its session while mine is killed. Any clues?
[03:06] <nerdydude20> Is there anyone out there that would like to try a service that checks if your IP address(es) is on an RBL and email/SMS messages you daily/weekly? It's sorta beta right now.
[03:07] <afallenhope> HardDisk: but I don't have "KDE" as a selection.
[03:07] <eboyjr> HardDisk: I mentioned Live CD because that's where the defaults come from.
[03:07] <HardDisk> nerdydude20, #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:07] <nerdydude20> kthx
[03:07] <rob_> afallenhope: you just choose which on the login screen (choose session i think)
[03:07]  * nickrud is slow!
[03:07] <HardDisk> eboyjr, if you install then all the defaults are installed too
[03:07] <IndyGunFreak> afallenhope: then you need to install it.. sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[03:07] <IndyGunFreak> afallenhope: then it will be a choice under sessions
[03:07] <gluonman> I'm having a problem with Firefox. I can't play an online game because it's missing plugins. Another site is telling me that I need to install Java. But after fooling around for an hour trying to install Java or download plugins where instructed, it has all been for nothing. What must I do>
[03:07] <meoblast001> im trying to set up a scanning service for my print server and im getting Failed to open device 'brother2:bus5;dev1'; Error during device I/O. how do i fix this?
[03:08] <gluonman> ?
[03:08] <eboyjr> HardDisk: I don't want to reinstall because I want all of my files.
[03:08] <HardDisk> gluonman, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted extras
[03:08] <IndyGunFreak> afallenhope: just be warned, KDE has been known to cause hives and seizures in its users, :)
[03:08] <PapaJDub> afallenhope scroll to the bottom of this page http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kdegnome and there are instructions for kde on ubuntu or gnome on kbunutu
[03:08] <gluonman> HardDisk. Thanks.
[03:08] <tmapj_> my computer froze
[03:08] <tmapj_> was anyone talking to me
[03:08] <tmapj_> Impiety, ?
[03:08] <sh00p> no not really
[03:08] <tmapj_> anyone?
[03:08] <HardDisk> eboyjr, you want to default back, each application works different
[03:08] <Impiety> no
[03:09] <Impiety> i don't know how to fix it
[03:09] <HardDisk> eboyjr, apps mostly revert back to default if you delete their .hiddenfolder in your home
[03:09] <tmapj_> :(
[03:09] <Impiety> that's kinda weird
[03:09] <mecha> how do i set synaptic to auto show details?
[03:09] <sprecker> anyone know why i have audio in Totem Movie Player but not in firefox with my maudio audiophile soundcard?
[03:09] <Impiety> i mean, i fixed my other comptuer with that
[03:09] <NorthLioness> HardDisk: It says that AIGLX is default for ubuntu
[03:09] <eboyjr> HardDisk: Do you know how to revert to default of Ubuntu's video drivers and setup only?
[03:09] <gluonman> HardDisk, I already have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed.
[03:09] <whik> how do i load a game via terminal in usr/local/games
[03:09] <whik> whould i just cd there
[03:09] <HardDisk> eboyjr, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:10] <HardDisk> whik, no the game should have made a link in your home dir
[03:10] <gluonman> HardDisk, I only started having this problem after I upgraded to Hardy Heron. Somehow I cannot access any kind of online java-based game or anything like that.
[03:10] <eboyjr> HardDisk: For me, all that does is setup the keyboard stuff...
[03:10] <HardDisk> whik, or if you installed it via apt then its in your games folder under applications
[03:10] <PapaJDub> gluonman does it tell you what plugin you need?
[03:10] <Malik_> o man
[03:10] <UbuntuLost> test
[03:10] <HardDisk> eboyjr, sudo nvidia-settings if you have a nvidia card
[03:10] <Malik_> y isn't this thing workin alrady
[03:10] <whik> i didnt know the command to install via apt
[03:11] <rob_> gluonman: you didnt happen to downgrade to 2.0 did you?
[03:11] <HardDisk> whik, go to add/remove or in administration/synaptic
[03:11] <gluonman> PapaJDub, one sight led me to a link to install Java. But it just installed a .bin file that does nothing. Other sites say "missing plugins" but have nothing listed.
[03:11] <|Juan|> I have a main user whos session I keep always open. Then I have a separate users for anyone else who wants to use the computer. Since I upgraded to Hardy, whenever the separate user logs in after my user's session is locked, it comes to a point when that separate user automatically leaves its session, goes to the gdm screen, re-authenticates and continues with its session while mine is killed. Any clues?
[03:11] <HardDisk> for those new to ubuntu check out these links
[03:11] <whik> HardDisk so remove and get it via apt?
[03:11] <gluonman> rob_, downgrade?

[03:11] <UbuntuLost> anyone know how to uninstall my nvidia drivers form the live CD gutsy ....... I upgraded to heron and got the white screen of deth
[03:11] <HardDisk> whik, if the game is in synaptic install it from there, if not use Loki's installers for games
[03:11] <UbuntuLost> thanks in adv
[03:11] <IndyGunFreak> Malik_: well, its probably not recognizing your ethernet device, would be my first guess..
[03:11] <rob_> gluonman: did you install forefox 2, gutsy comes with FF3
[03:12] <Malik_> wat do u mean ethernet device?
[03:12] <Malik_> like the modem
[03:12] <Malik_> and router?
[03:12] <HardDisk> whik, or www.playonlinux.com
[03:12] <PapaJDub> malik, ethernet device is your network interface card
[03:12] <hwilde> hello my resolution unexplainably downgraded to 800x600.  I get a warning when I login about low res mode.  I have reinstalled the nvidia drivers and they are enabled.  I have restored my xorg.conf.  http://pastebin.com/m4253e049
[03:12] <gluonman> rob_, I did not install firefox. It just comes prepackaged with Ubuntu. All I did was upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04
[03:12] <IndyGunFreak> Malik_: Malik_ no, the port where you plug the ethernet cable..
[03:12] <whik> HardDisk, kk ill try those out
[03:12] <PapaJDub> nalik, its where you plug the network cable into your PC
[03:12] <mecha> anyone know how to set synaptic to auto show details?
[03:12] <Malik_> o that matters to?
[03:12] <HardDisk> whik, www.liflg.org
[03:12] <Malik_> how do i check if thats supported or not?
[03:13] <Flynsarmy> !firefox > Flynsarmy
[03:13] <IndyGunFreak> Malik_: uh, yeah... if the drivers aren't int he kernel, how do you expect it to work.
[03:13] <IndyGunFreak> Malik_: boot the live CD and see if youc an get online
[03:13] <rob_> gluonman: just to to help> about in FF and see what version you have quick
[03:13] <Malik_> i already installed ubuntu and its not workin
[03:13] <wormeater> can iask a quesion?
[03:13] <HardDisk> Malik_, in terminal sudo lspci | grep Ethernet
[03:13] <IndyGunFreak> Malik_: do what HardDisk just said,k write down what it says your ethernet device is, then come back here
[03:13] <HardDisk> IndyGunFreak, he may have static ip set in his router
[03:13] <PapaJDub> mecha: Settings -> Preferences -> General Tab -> Show package properties in main window?
[03:13] <Malik_> alrite
[03:14] <wormeater> how can i get driver for my epson c90?
[03:14] <IndyGunFreak> HardDisk: well then it would be a bad case of user malfunction.. bu ti figured i'd give him the benefit of the doubt
[03:14] <HardDisk> :)
[03:14] <HardDisk> in #ubuntu? :D
[03:14] <wormeater> yup
[03:14] <gluonman> rob_, where does it tell me which version I have?
[03:14] <IndyGunFreak> HardDisk: sometimes i shutter.. :)
[03:14] <sprecker> i need a good site for audio setup
[03:14] <HardDisk> wormeater, did you try to see if it installs in printers?
[03:14] <rob_> gluonman: it should tell in about on the help menu, its not there?
[03:14] <IndyGunFreak> sprecker: what do you mean audio setup?
[03:14] <HardDisk> wormeater, system/admin/printing
[03:14] <wormeater> yeah... there's no c90 in the menu
[03:14] <wormeater> :(
[03:15] <HardDisk> wormeater, k sec
[03:15] <sprecker> seting up my audio for ubuntu
[03:15] <gluonman> rob_, it's 3.0.
[03:15] <wormeater> thanks much hard disk
[03:15] <sprecker> i have Totem Movie Player working fine
[03:15] <sprecker> but nothing else
[03:15] <haydos> Hi guys, I'm having problems with advanced desktop effects (compiz)
[03:15] <Malik_> wat key is that after : lspci
[03:15] <mecha> papajdub: nope
[03:15] <afallenhope> so what your saying is that installing them together is bad?
[03:15] <IndyGunFreak> HardDisk: he mentioned he had a router though, so he should be able to get online automatically through a router.
[03:15] <meoblast001> im trying to set up a scanning service for my print server and im getting Failed to open device 'brother2:bus5;dev1'; Error during device I/O. how do i fix this?
[03:15] <HardDisk> wormeater, did you check http://localhost:631/
[03:15] <rob_> gluonman okay, then you have java runtime 6 installed in add/remove then right?
[03:16] <HardDisk> IndyGunFreak, unless it's set to static
[03:16] <IndyGunFreak> Malik_: its the straight line over \
[03:16] <wormeater> i'll check
[03:16] <IndyGunFreak> hmm.
[03:16] <gluonman> rob_, let me check.
[03:16] <wormeater> only checked in epson website... no driver for linux and it's predocesors
[03:16] <IndyGunFreak> Malik_: do you have DSL?
