[12:00] <[bulio_II] > Would Ubuntu be good for a computer with 667Mhz cpu and 128MB ram?
[12:00] <Rudemeister> mwe: using gcc-3.4
[12:00] <eggzeck> ConfidentiaL, I think that would be offtopic, so maybe try #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:00] <chris_> hey all
[12:00] <gepatino> Apostle^: and if you put a data cd.. can you read it?
[12:00] <duelboot> ogami1972, tried the wiki?
[12:00] <chris_> i decided i wanted to install wine
[12:00] <mwe> [bulio_II] : probably ok. it's not much ram though
[12:00] <Surak> Hello.
[12:00] <Apostle^> gepatino: yep
[12:00] <chris_> and i searched synaptic
[12:00] <chris_> and it comes up with a few things
[12:00] <chris_> such as xwine
[12:00] <mwe> [bulio_II] : maybe use something like fluxbox instead of gnome
[12:00] <gepatino> Apostle^: is it a strange cd drive, i mean pcmcia, scsi, etc
[12:00] <Surak> A simple question: can a hostname have the minus "-" character on its name?
[12:01] <chris_> which is the gui for wine emulator
[12:01] <Ghostar> i cant start xserver anymore. The problem is my mouse. I tried ps/2 and usb, but i get no input. i tried cat /dev/input/mice . Then i get "no such file or directory". can someobody help me?
[12:01] <Apostle^> gepatino: i dont' think so .. it's a dvd+rw
[12:01] <ogami1972> yeah, i've tried the wiki, and i have a bookmark folder of 13-15 posts; i've gone down the list and tried it all, but nothing
[12:01] <mwe> Rudemeister: I don't know why it does that then
[12:01] <duelboot> ogami1972, hold on I'll send you a link for something that worked on breezy...no promises for dapper
[12:01] <ConfidentiaL> eggzeck: or in a private chat or something?
[12:01] <chris_> and libwine and libwine-dev
[12:01] <ogami1972> k
[12:01] <ogami1972> thx
[12:01] <Rudemeister> hmm
[12:01] <chris_> should choose to install xwine?
[12:01] <Surak> I ask this so I can send a patch for espresso...  can a hostname have the minus "-" character on its name?
[12:01] <chris_> and then if i do
[12:01] <eggzeck> ConfidentiaL, okay
[12:01] <Aeos> i used synaptic to install wine but it doesnt seem to be installed. of course, I just might not know how to find it
[12:01] <chris_> how to i use it?
[12:01] <Rudemeister> mwe: tnx anyway
[12:01] <chris_> ^same question
[12:01] <chris_> well kinda
[12:01] <chris_> lol
[12:01] <mwe> Aeos: open a terminal and type wine notepad.exe
[12:02] <Apostle^> gepatino: any ideas
[12:02] <blindx> I'm real tired of my brothers closing my irc :@
[12:02] <Aeos> hmm guess it is not installed
[12:02] <mwe> Rudemeister: it shouldn't segfault even if you use the wrong compiler. just possibly produce errors
[12:02] <majd> Hey, i'm trying to install mysql 4.1....however, i installed the mysql server, client and common packages for version 4.1 I also installed php5mysql package....then i uncommented the mysql.so line in php.ini. Now in my phpinfo.php file, i get the mysql section, but it comes up as 4.0.X
[12:02] <[bulio_II] > Would Ubuntu be good for a computer with 667Mhz cpu and 128MB ram?
[12:02] <Ghostar> where is my mouse input when i dont find it at /dev/input/mice  ??
[12:02] <majd> I need 4.1 so i can use mysql improved
[12:02] <[bulio_II] > Running gnome as a family PC
[12:02] <mwe> [bulio_II] : I answered that
[12:03] <Apostle^> [bulio_II] : yes
[12:03] <[bulio_II] > So Its not enough?
[12:03] <gepatino> Apostle^: sorry... no more ideas... maybe its not connected to the sound card???
[12:03] <Apostle^> [bulio_II] : id run xfce on it
[12:03] <mwe> [bulio_II] : yes but a little tight
[12:03] <yuion> mwe, there?
[12:03] <ogami1972> bulio- am running full install on a 667 w/ 393 mb- runs great ( but i am used to legacy machines- others might find it a bit slow)
[12:03] <mwe> yuion: right here ...
[12:03] <ogami1972> go with xubuntu
[12:03] <[bulio_II] > xfce wouldn't have a problem?
[12:03] <Apostle^> gepatino: how do i check that, i just want to rip audio from it, but sound-juicer says i dont have the plugin, how do i get the plugin
[12:03] <mwe> [bulio_II] : I'd use fluxbox for that kind of pc
[12:03] <Apostle^> [bulio_II] : shouldn't
[12:03] <[bulio_II] > ogami1972: my debian machine has 550Mhz cpu and 380MB ram
[12:03] <yuion> mwe, why its a little lock in the corner of a map?
[12:03] <blindx> fluxbox ftw \m/
[12:03] <majd> when i type in sudo mysql in the terminal, i get Your MySQL connection id is 16 to server version: 4.1.12-Debian_1ubuntu3.1-log
[12:03] <ogami1972> then you should be pleased
[12:03] <blindx> soooo my wifi won't work. so i asked someone what to do, and they said install nm-applet. I tried to, and it gave me no suitable c compiler. so i installed build-essential..
[12:04] <mwe> yuion: huh?
[12:04] <yuion> mwe, oops,map in english is a diffrent thing sory
[12:04] <blindx> but nm-applet STILL won't install.
[12:04] <blindx> won't comile, i should say
[12:04] <ogami1972> blindx- have you done "iwconfig" from term?
[12:04] <benplaut> what's the preferred starter guide ATM?
[12:04] <gepatino> Apostle^: do you have another OS installed? in that case, can you here music from that OS in that drive?
[12:04] <blindx> i haven't.. i did config'd from gui
[12:04] <[bulio_II] > so I should use Xfce4?
[12:04] <yuion> mwe, what you call a place there you can place some files
[12:04] <Apostle^> gepatino: no i don't
[12:04] <AAA> a directory?
[12:04] <Apostle^> gepatino: i think im justm issing a plugin
[12:05] <mwe> majd: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start to start the mysql server
[12:05] <mwe> yuion: a directory or folder?
[12:05] <ogami1972> i forget what i installed- oh yeah- "wpromad" or something- try this:
[12:05] <majd> mwe, i got a message that it's already running
[12:05] <majd> i know it's working....
[12:05] <chris_> how would i go about installing wine?
[12:05] <chris_> ok i went to synaptic
[12:05] <yuion> mwe, folder thanks..but actully i fix on my own:D
[12:05] <ogami1972> in term- "iwconfig" folowed by "ifup eth0"
[12:05] <gepatino> Apostle^: if cant hear music in any program, maybe you need to plug the cd drive to the sound card
[12:05] <chris_> and downloaded xwine and all the components needed for it
[12:05] <eggzeck> ConfidentiaL, I think you might have to register to message me back
[12:06] <chris_> and when i goto the terminal
[12:06] <Apostle^> gepatino: it is ..
[12:06] <chris_> and type xwine
[12:06] <mwe> majd: you shouldn't run mysql with sudo. just myql -u root
[12:06] <chris_> it says i need to install xwine
[12:06] <Aeos> ok so with using wine I simply download the binary and run it by using wine example.exe
[12:06] <ConfidentiaL> eggzeck: :S how?
[12:06] <Apostle^> gepatino: it isn't a sound-issue i cant find the files on the cd to play them
[12:06] <majd> mwe, it seems to be working :(
[12:07] <gepatino> Apostle^: music cds doesnt have files
[12:07] <duelboot> ogami1972, try this for the flash issue:  sudo ln -fs /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.1
[12:07] <chris_> i tried apt-get install xwine
[12:07] <mwe> majd: well then it's good. I mean it seams to be working
[12:07] <Apostle^> gepatino: how do i play a cd from say.. the command line
[12:07] <chris_> and it said that there were 13 permissions denied and i couldnt loc soemthing
[12:07] <ConfidentiaL> eggzeck: nvm registering, in registering now...
[12:07] <majd> mwe, yeah but php seems to pickup the wrong version
[12:07] <ogami1972> that was the last solution i tried- i didn't receive errors, but it didn't fix it either
[12:07] <mwe> majd: odd
[12:07] <majd> yeah
[12:08] <duelboot> ogami1972, again this was for breezy...here's another link:  http://pykeylogger.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu:Chronicles#Sound.2C_Firefox.2C_and_Flash   may want to try first
[12:08] <mwe> majd: did you follow !lamp ?
[12:08] <gepatino> Apostle^: from command line... i dont know... try with cdplayer in applications/sound&video
[12:08] <mwe> !tell majd about lamp
[12:08] <majd> mwe, not really
[12:08] <majd> extension=mysql.so
[12:08] <majd> is that the right line to put in php.ini?
[12:08] <mwe> majd: try going over that
[12:08] <chris_> anyone know how to install wine once u downloaded the package from synaptic?
[12:09] <mwe> majd: yeah. I think it's all configured right by default. please read the wiki and see if you missed something
[12:09] <majd> ok
[12:09] <Apostle^> gepatino: i think im just missing a plugin or a library
[12:09] <gepatino> chris_: it should be already installed
[12:09] <blindx> Can anyone help me set up my WiFi
[12:09] <graveson> what is the directory for the C header files ?
[12:10] <mwe> !tell blindx about wifi
[12:10] <gepatino> Apostle^: sorry... thats all i know... anyone could help Apostle^??
[12:10] <blindx> I already have that page
[12:10] <chris_> gepatino, i tried to run it in the terminal with "xwine" it said wine wasnt installed
[12:10] <blindx> thanks, though
[12:10] <ogami1972> thx duelboot
[12:10] <mwe> blindx: then what's the problem, more specifically?
[12:10] <gepatino> chris_: because you've installed 'wine' not 'xwine'
[12:10] <Apostle^> can anyoen tell me what i need to do to enable audio-cd support
[12:10] <duelboot> did it work ogami1972 ?
[12:10] <Apostle^> i have w32 codecs..
[12:11] <chris_> gepatino, well it didnt say that xwine wasnt installed it said wine wasnt
[12:11] <blindx> mwe: I'm not exactly sure. It activates, but I'm not connected to the net.
[12:11] <mwe> blindx: can you ping your router?
[12:11] <blindx> mwe: the live CD worked, that's WHY i installed ubuntu
[12:11] <chris_> gepatino, and if i try just running "wine" it says its not a command
[12:11] <blindx> I don't know, i didn't try.
[12:11] <mwe> blindx: try
[12:11] <blindx> the ping command is just ping, correct?
[12:11] <gepatino> chris_: when you select a package in synaptic (and accept the installation) its downloaded and installed
[12:11] <mwe> blindx: right
[12:12] <chris_> not according to this
[12:12] <edwin> How do reconfigure xserver it has screwed up my screen resolution
[12:12] <gepatino> chris_: check again if it's installed from synaptic
[12:12] <chris_> ok
[12:12] <aimaz> edwards, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-sorg
[12:12] <jenda> I have trouble with Live CDs. Two that I have just freeze as soon as they say "press enter for default live boot" or something to that effect. Anything you could think of?
[12:12] <mwe> blindx: if it worked on the live cd it's possible to get it to work on the installed system as well
[12:12] <aimaz> edwin, ^^
[12:12] <aimaz> erk
[12:12] <aimaz> edwin, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:12] <Bambino> I am trying to install a thing for my ubuntu. Its 32bit. its a deb file. now can i compile the source code? would that work?
[12:12] <edwin> Thank you
[12:13] <gepatino> Bambino: if its a deb file, try dpkg -i file.deb
[12:13] <ogami1972> yeah, i tried that one yesterday... in all the posts, eventually it works, but there is always a final post that sez "didn't work in dapper"
[12:13] <ogami1972> :(
[12:13] <Bambino> gepatino, i did, its failed because its for 32bit system
[12:13] <chris_>  it says its installed
[12:13] <blindx> i did ping <IP_ADDRESS> and got "<IP_ADDRESS> Destination Host Unreachable"
[12:13] <Barbelos> Any idea why logging into xfce just gives me the background, no panels or anything?
[12:13] <graveson> has anyone seen this error when installing vmware with ubuntu -> The directory of kernel headers (version 2.6.12-10-686) does not match your
[12:13] <graveson> running kernel (version 2.6.12-10-686-smp).
[12:14] <chris_> im gonna reinstall it
[12:14] <duelboot> !tell duelboot to go to sleep!
[12:14] <gepatino> Bambino: and you have a 64bit sys?
[12:14] <mwe> blindx: huh?
[12:14] <Bambino> gepatino, Yes
[12:14] <blindx> yeah
[12:14] <blindx> makes no sense.
[12:14] <edwin> If i have intel intergrated graphics which xserver driver should I select?
[12:14] <void^> blindx: well, is .102 your default gateway?
[12:14] <gepatino> Bambino: sorry, no experience on 64 bits sys...
[12:15] <mwe> blindx: well anyway what's your interface name? ifconfig -a will show if you dont know
[12:15] <mwe> void^: notice he pings a different ip
[12:15] <aimaz> Bambino, is there no 64-bit package available?
[12:15] <blindx> I don't have a default gateway
[12:15] <blindx> uh RT2550
[12:15] <chris_> gepatino: ok i reinstalled it
[12:15] <mwe> void^: notice he pings a different ip
[12:15] <Bambino> aimaz, it does only say source code and binary
[12:15] <mwe> blindx: well anyway what's your interface name? ifconfig -a will show if you dont know
[12:15] <edwin> Anyone know what xserver driver i should use for Intel intergrated chips?
[12:15] <mwe> void^: sorry
[12:15] <bitwiseshiftleft> question: is there a way to work around no __NR_sigaction in the ubuntu headers, when, say, compiling wine?
[12:15] <mwe> edwin: what integrated chip?
[12:16] <gepatino> chris_: now try 'wine' in a console
[12:16] <blindx> ra0
[12:16] <aimaz> Bambino, try the source code then, i may be able to help you with compilation
[12:16] <mwe> blindx: ra0 ?
[12:16] <edwin> Intel something i just reinstalled Ubuntu it was working fine this morning
[12:16] <Bambino> aimaz, Well i tried except it gave me some weird error :P
[12:16] <blindx> yes.
[12:16] <Aeos> where do I put programs so that wine can use them?
[12:16] <aimaz> Bambino, what was the weird error?
[12:16] <Rudemeister> mwe: I now used the default .config and make seems to be still runnin'.. fingers x'd
[12:16] <chris_> this is the error im getting
[12:16] <mwe> blindx: does it show with iwconfig?
[12:16] <chris_> chris@ubuntu:~$ xwine
[12:16] <chris_> error: wine doesn't work, you have to install it...
[12:16] <jxp> Hey, guys, tell me your joking right, I just installed ubuntu and I cant play mp3 's ?!
[12:16] <blindx> yes it does.
[12:16] <jxp> What do I have to install.
[12:16] <Bambino> aimaz, checking for KDE... configure: error:
[12:16] <Bambino>  in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
[12:16] <Bambino> sorsis, check this please and use another prefix!
[12:16] <duelboot> okay jxp we're joking
[12:17] <mwe> Rudemeister: what did you do before that?
[12:17] <duelboot> !w32codecs
[12:17] <ubotu> w32codecs is, like, totally, a compilation of binary win32 A/V codecs for many popular proprietary formats not currently supported by free implementations under linux. See http://tinyurl.com/e4a5s to install
[12:17] <aimaz> Bambino, do apt-cache search kde dev
[12:17] <duelboot> jxp ^^^
[12:17] <Rudemeister> mwe: I altered some settings in the .config
[12:17] <gepatino> chris_: what happens if you run wine, without the first x
[12:17] <mwe> blindx: then try sudo dhclient ra0 and see if you get an ip
[12:17] <Rudemeister> mwe: as in, customized kernel..
[12:17] <edwin> should i use the Kernal framebuffer device interface?
[12:17] <duelboot> !tell jpx about w32codecs
[12:17] <Bambino> aimaz, Loads :P
[12:17] <blindx> ok gimme a sec.
[12:17] <aimaz> Bambino, there should be something like kde-dev or similar, install that then try the compile again
[12:17] <chris_> chris@ubuntu:~$ wine
[12:17] <chris_> bash: wine: command not found
[12:17] <duelboot> jpx, see pm from ubotu
[12:17] <mwe> Rudemeister: you should always use make menuconfig or make config, not edit the .config by hand
[12:18] <Bambino> aimaz, kdevelop3 - An IDE for Unix/X11 - development version
[12:18] <Bambino>   thats something i could use?
[12:18] <gepatino> chris_: well... thats weird... dont know what to say...
[12:18] <aimaz> Bambino, no
[12:18] <jxp> i didnt get one
[12:18] <Rudemeister> mwe: I ment, I altered .config with make menuconfig
[12:18] <chris_> damnit
[12:18] <Barbelos> jxp: Install all the libmad stuff for one thing. There's a guide on the homepage somewhere. Just google for 'ubuntu' and 'nonfree'
[12:18] <chris_> this sucks
[12:18] <aimaz> Bambino, hang on i'll look for you, what are you trying to install btw?
[12:18] <mwe> Rudemeister: ok. that's good then
[12:18] <chris_> i wanna run some win apps
[12:18] <gepatino> chris_: try dpkg -l | grep wine
[12:18] <gepatino> chris_: ... your language...
[12:19] <mwe> chris_: wine notepad.exe after installing wine
[12:19] <mwe> chris_: be aware that only a tiny fraction of all windows programs actually work in wine though
[12:19] <chris_> i know
[12:19] <Bambino> aimaz, I am trying to make so that I get my login screen diffrently so i can add new login screens that is. it says i need a kdmtheme app. Now i went to the site and i saw "source code" and debian. so i went to debian and there i could choose binary or source. I chose binary. in binary i could choose a package.gz or a .deb file. I was suggested the deb file. but that is only for 32bit =(
[12:19] <gepatino> chris_: what's the output of dpkg -l | grep wine
[12:20] <mwe> chris_: sudo apt-get install wine
[12:20] <chris_> chris@ubuntu:~$ dpkg -l | grep wine
[12:20] <chris_> ii  xwine                                      1.0.1-1   graphical user interface for the WINE emulat
[12:20] <edwin> When im configuring Xserver i get this window "Select the X.Org server modules that should be loaded by default? Which one should i choose?
[12:20] <mwe> chris_: sudo apt-get install wine
[12:20] <duelboot> ogami1972, any luck?
[12:20] <aimaz> Bambino, Package.gz is something else entirely, ignore that

[12:25] <yuion> mwe, can you tell me what bittorent client i should use?
[12:25] <gnomefreak> sfar: if you mean the one that loads the mod you wont find that in menu
[12:26] <sfar> gnomefreak: yes, the one before the login thingy
[12:26] <graveson> is anyone aware of any lightscribe software for linux ?
[12:26] <gepatino> chris_: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:26] <inhale_16> can some1 answer me pls ?
[12:26] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell sfar about usplash
[12:26] <chris_> ummm
[12:26] <mwe> yuion: bittorent
[12:26] <gepatino> inhale_16: just ask
[12:26] <gnomefreak> sfar: your pm its a beast btw
[12:26] <ogami1972> oh...
[12:26] <sfar> ah, usplash.. thanks
[12:26] <inhale_16> with the ubuntu linux...can u just install normal games and play? and is it difficult to find programs for linux ?
[12:26] <chris_> well i dont even know how to use pastebin
[12:26] <yuion> mwe, apt-get ??
[12:26] <blindx> mwe: it gives me an ap name. but not _MY_ ap name
[12:26] <Pavix> Anyone have any idea about why firefox isnt recognizing java being installed
[12:27] <gepatino> chris_: enter http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ and you'll find the way... its not dificult
[12:27] <mwe> yuion: sudo apt-get install  bittorrent-gui
[12:27] <ogami1972> no, inhale, programs aren't always "just install", but on the other hand, yes, they are easy to find
[12:27] <mwe> blindx: it doesn't just scroll off the screen?
[12:27] <hcatlin> inhale_16: it is not super easy to play the "PC" games you buy at the store on linux. However, as a gamer, I don't mind booting over to windows when I want to play a game... That being said, do a google search for WineX to play games on Linux.
[12:27] <MeTa[OFF] > good night all
[12:27] <chris_> ok
[12:27] <ogami1972> 'normal' games. afaik, often require a third party, like cedega
[12:27] <chris_> and now what file did u want?
[12:27] <yuion> mwe, thansk
[12:27] <inhale_16> i had installed the ubuntu linux on another pc, but couldnt manage to set up an internet connection
[12:28] <blindx> mwe: scroll off the screen?
[12:28] <mwe> inhale_16: what's a normal game?
[12:28] <inhale_16> i mean, a game based for windows os
[12:28] <gepatino> chris_: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:28] <mwe> inhale_16: you can't just play windows games if that's what you mean. some might work with wine but far from all
[12:28] <inhale_16> like for example, half life 2 etc
[12:29] <mwe> inhale_16: it's a paing to get hl2 to work in linux
[12:29] <inhale_16> hmm ic
[12:29] <blindx> Dammit, I have to run to class.
[12:29] <inhale_16> well tbh, i prefer the linux as gui rather than windows
[12:29] <blindx> I'll be back around 10ish.
[12:29] <Apostle^> how do i get nautilus to show the left bar with locations again ?
[12:29] <mwe> inhale_16: most people make a dualboot setup and keep windows for favorite none linux games
[12:29] <Bambino> aimaz, LOL my system seems to be realllllyyy weir.. This is after i removed my KDE folder and updated ubuntu to kubuntu desktop.
[12:29] <inhale_16> but windows is much more common
[12:29] <Bambino> aimaz, apt-cache search kde dev
[12:29] <ogami1972> stay up blindx- you'll figure it out!
[12:29] <yuion> mwe, that client banned to:(
[12:29] <Bambino> aimaz, opps , wrong i get this : checking tcl build dir... configure: error: Unable to find Tcl directory or Tcl package is not tcl-dev
[12:30] <chris_> there
[12:30] <sirblue> inhale_16: you could check out transgaming, they feature a website with database for games and emulation issues
[12:30] <jenesuispasbavar> Help. I can't switch to root in the Terminal: "moi@Tails:~$ sudo -s -H
[12:30] <jenesuispasbavar>           sudo: unable to lookup Tails via gethostbyname()
[12:30] <jenesuispasbavar> "
[12:30] <aimaz> Bambino, kdmtheme will be available in dapper, but in breezy it might be easier if you set the KDM theme by hand http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=34131 should point you in the right direction
[12:30] <gepatino> chris_: there what?
[12:30] <chris_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12054
[12:30] <mwe> blindx: if I use iwlist I get so many aps my own just so far up I can't see it in the terminal unless I iwlist wlan0 scan|less
[12:30] <gepatino> chris_: ok.. i see
[12:31] <ogami1972> i have a dual boot for music production, and as a saftey net- but for daily tasks, actual recording, etc- windows can't hold a candle and feels primitive after a while on l.inux
[12:31] <yuion> mwe, how to start your program?
[12:31] <Bambino> aimaz, Thanks.. any idea about the tlc error
[12:31] <gepatino> chris_: well.. it looks ok... i dont know how to help you... everything you said you've done is ok... it should be working
[12:32] <chris_> grrr
[12:32] <gepatino> maybe anynone else could hel chris_? i going home now... its late (here in argentina) to be at work
[12:32] <simonpca> ++
[12:32] <mwe> yuion: maybe you want gnome-btdownload or ktorrent
[12:33] <chris_> im gonna get somthing else
[12:33] <roostishaw> is there any risk running irc? i though i read somewhere that you should make an account just for irc...
[12:33] <chris_> ill get on if i have troubles
[12:33] <chris_> bye all
[12:33] <gepatino> bye
[12:33] <roostishaw> anyone?
[12:34] <mwe> roostishaw: if you run it as normal user it's pretty safe
[12:34] <_jason> jenesuispasbavar: paste the first lines of /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts please
[12:34] <aimaz> Bambino, for that you need tcl headers which are in tcl8.?-dev where ? is 2,3 or 4 which one kdmtheme needs i don't know, you could install all three, but you can see why i say doing it by hand may be easier
[12:34] <roostishaw> mwe, ok thats what i meant... but why is there any risk at all.
[12:34] <roostishaw> mwe, ?
[12:34] <Bambino> aimaz, Yes i understand and i will do as you told me, except i am trying to install latest aMSN.. and its not working.so i installed them and i keep getting errors! ./configure: line 3162: /usr/lib/tkConfig.sh: No such file or directory
[12:35] <lukic> Hey ubuntu fans!
[12:35] <mwe> roostishaw: I can't think of any risks except auto accepting crappy dcc sends
[12:35] <master_> help with dual booting breezy and gentoo, they sent me here
[12:36] <roostishaw> can someone tell me what a dcc send is?
[12:36] <_jason> oh boy
[12:36] <_jason> no one say d.c.c. s.e.n.d!
[12:36] <aimaz> Bambino, that should be in one of the tk dev packages
[12:36] <cyphase> what's a good MythTV centered distro?
[12:36] <_jason> !ops
[12:36] <ubotu> Help! lilo, hedgemage, fabbione, lamont, Keybuk, jdub, mdz, Amaranth, tritium, ajmitch, crimsun, ogra, CarlK, Seveas, Burgundavia, apokryphos, thoreauputic, nalioth, Madpilot, ompaul, rob or Hobbsee
[12:36] <nalioth> _jason: ?
[12:36] <IdleOne> lmao
[12:36] <_jason> nalioth: ubugtu just got mwe and roostishaw for innocent d.c.c. send
[12:37] <roostishaw> why did ubugtu boot me?!
[12:37] <sfar> _jason: its DCC SEND <insert 14 or more chars here>
[12:37] <_jason> ...
[12:37] <Seveas> sigh
[12:37] <IdleOne> roostishaw, check www.irghelp.org for info on all irc commands and protocols
[12:37] <yuion> witch torrent client is best?
[12:37] <Seveas> people should know it by now
[12:37] <scorchsaber> :D
[12:37] <scorchsaber> that was extremely funny
[12:37] <IdleOne> www.irchelp.org
[12:38] <roostishaw> ?
[12:38] <IdleOne> you asked about d.c.c
[12:38] <Seveas> roostishaw, there are a few common IRC exploits with that string
[12:38] <nalioth> roostishaw: do NOT use d.c.c. s.e.n.* in here
[12:38] <Seveas> that's why ubotu kickbans
[12:38] <sfar> wee i am not so smart
[12:38] <roostishaw> oh, thats why i ws kicked...   got it
[12:38] <nalioth> sfar: do NOT use d.c.c. s.e.n.* in here
[12:38] <sfar> Seveas: its because the netgear bug right?
[12:38] <roostishaw> but is is like a file send or something?
[12:38] <Seveas> sfar, yup
[12:38] <Bambino> aimaz, seems weird, something really screwed mnst have happened to my system because i had all the compling things, before i removed kde for kubuntu desktop
[12:38] <IdleOne> roostishaw, yes exactly
[12:39] <roostishaw> dleone, oh
[12:39] <roostishaw> my bad
[12:39] <sfar> nalioth: yeah i got it.. i thought you were talking about not typing the *CC *END blablalbla-command only
[12:39] <Xenguy> nalioth: seriously, do you mean say it, or do it, or both? (I was not aware of this policy, I assume it's a new one?)
[12:39] <IdleOne> Xenguy, saying it cause some routers to die
[12:40] <nalioth> Xenguy: if that string shows up in this channel, you will be kickbanned by a bot
[12:40] <ompaul> and we normally not pay any attention to it
[12:40] <IdleOne> Xenguy, not to mention klined by freenode
[12:40] <scorchsaber> Hey, I'v been having trouble with my sound. It doesn't work on SDL, or ob Flash, and who knows what else. However, it works normally for other things, such as music
[12:41] <mwe> sfar: did you see how I got banned for talking about d_cc s_end ?
[12:41] <jenesuispasbavar> Umm, I can't log in as root any more: "moi@Tails:~$ sudo -s -H
[12:41] <jenesuispasbavar> sudo: unable to lookup Tails via gethostbyname()
[12:41] <jenesuispasbavar> moi@Tails:~$"
[12:41] <Anubis> ok
[12:41] <_jason> jenesuispasbavar: paste the first lines of /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts please
[12:41] <Anubis> can anyone help me install vmware workstation in ubuntu
[12:41] <Anubis> ?
[12:41] <sfar> mwe: yep
[12:41] <Xenguy> nalioth IdleOne OK, so don't say it, got it.  Is it OK to occasionally send a file by that method though, or is that out too now?
[12:41] <ogami1972> ok- new question re: flash
[12:42] <master_> trying again: can someone help me set up a dual boot?
[12:42] <IdleOne> Xenguy, the sending protocol is fine
[12:42] <nalioth> Xenguy: if you send a file with it, you shouldnt be posting those words in the channel, yes?
[12:42] <jenesuispasbavar> _jason: hostname: Tails, hosts: # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
[12:42] <IdleOne> the saying part is bad hehe
[12:42] <mwe> master_: boot the install cd. it will take care of it
[12:42] <Anubis> any help with installing vmware?
[12:43] <master_> mve: i installed ubuntu first that is ok
[12:43] <Xenguy> nalioth IdleOne yep, OK I think that is clear now (maybe a warning should be added to /topic ?) -- thanks guys
[12:43] <ogami1972> when editing /etc/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-firefoxrc, i am told to change it to "none" or "arts"- one post sez he changed it to "artsdsp"- I use alsa, not esd or arts- would changing to "alsa" be ok?
[12:43] <_jason> jenesuispasbavar: insert the following into the beginning of your /etc/hosts: <IP_ADDRESS> localhost.localdomain localhost Tails
[12:43] <master_> i cant get gentoo configured in grub
[12:43] <master_> it's installed fine
[12:43] <_jason> jenesuispasbavar: you may have to reboot in recovery mode (choice at the grub menu)
[12:43] <eugman> !info ie
[12:43] <nalioth> Xenguy: there was a warning in the /topic for several weeks
[12:43] <jenesuispasbavar> _jason: I can't do that, I don't have the necessary permissions
[12:43] <eugman> !ie
[12:43] <ubotu> hmm... ie is Ubuntu Ireland #ubuntu-ie
[12:44] <eugman> !internet explorer
[12:44] <ubotu> Wish I knew. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, eugman
[12:44] <Xenguy> nalioth: OK, guess I missed it; anyway, just a suggestion
[12:44] <mwe> master_: well pretty much just make sure you specifying the correct partition in the config file
[12:44] <_jason> jenesuispasbavar: see my last comment, to edit from command line you do: nano /etc/hosts
[12:44] <jenesuispasbavar> _jason: Thanks, I'll try that.
[12:44] <yuion> PLEASE,why dont any just can tell me a god torrent client hows not is banned

[12:45] <yuion> mwe, yes the client u named is banned on the most of my torrent sites
[12:45] <carthik> HI I have toasted 3 DVD coasters, so what is the secret to setting the right write speed? I  am writing 8x DVDs. SO where in gnome/gconf wherever can I mention the speed to write discs at? I have tried K3b, gnomebaker and graveman.
[12:45] <eugman> Because ie is CLEARLY the superior browser.
[12:45] <eugman> heh
[12:45] <eugman> but seriously some sites need it.

[12:46] <mwe> yuion: can't you just dl the torrent file then open it with the client?
[12:47] <duelboot> ogami1972, I used something to fix it, but can't talk about here or I'll get banned
[12:47] <yuion> mwe, hwo i start the client you said?
[12:47] <nalioth> eugman: change your browser identification string
[12:47] <yuion> mwe, i wrote iek you said
[12:47] <yuion> mwe, then?
[12:47] <duelboot> almost like the dreaded D*CC S*END
[12:47] <ogami1972> oooooo!!! now i'm super interested!
[12:47] <eugman> Nalioth I don't that that's the issue.
[12:47] <m4sterguru> any one here with a zd8000 laptop?

[12:48] <yuion> mwe, please(A)
[12:48] <scorchsaber> jesus christ, you have the exact same email address as your screen name? Thats almost as bad security as me! I suppose you have the same password, too?
[12:48] <scorchsaber> eh ogami1972?
[12:48] <Xenguy> .oO(but I digress)
[12:49] <ogami1972> i'm putting on my trenchcoat and dark hat and sunglasses
[12:49] <carthik> Can I specify all these apps (dvd burning) to not use /tmp and to use someother directory as the temp directory, since my / only has 10 gigs. /home has like 200 gigs
[12:49] <duelboot> I'm<EMAIL_ADDRESS> and no the pw is not the same :/
[12:49] <nalioth> scorchsaber: please watch your language please
[12:49] <scorchsaber> nalioth: What'd I do...
[12:49] <duelboot> scorchsaber, easy for my enemies to find me that way
[12:49] <eugman> Nalioth are you from the department of redundancy department?
[12:49] <pinkmermaid> Hey all... I'm experiencing issues with flash audo being out of sync?
[12:49] <aimaz> good night all
[12:50] <nalioth> ubotu tell scorchsaber about conduct
[12:50] <ogami1972> i am ogami1972 everywhere i go- i'm just a guy- steal from me? well, i proabbaly stole it in the first place... wanna find me? good, i've missed you! break my system? hooray! i do it everyday by myself anyway!
[12:50] <digitalhav0c> is there any way to stop xchat from showing when users leave and enter room?
[12:50] <sfar> _jason: if its possible, make the ban only affect when someone types ".cc .end ??????????????"
[12:50] <duelboot> good for you ogami1972 ...you go
[12:50] <eugman> So anyone know how I can get internet explorer without crossover office?
[12:50] <_jason> sfar: I have nothing to do with it
[12:50] <sfar> _jason: ok :D
[12:51] <nalioth> sfar: the ban affects a known exploit that is not triggered by your string
[12:51] <mwe> yuion: well for ktorrent you just type ktorrent
[12:51] <ogami1972> i like knowing that when you see me here, you know it's the same guy who tagged you in BZFlag last nite....
[12:51] <duelboot> eugman, why?
[12:51] <gilianima> is it possible to wget a web page that uses a <form> ? If yes, how to give the <form> the arguments it needs ?
[12:51] <immolo> is it possible to stop services from being loaded on boot?
[12:51] <sfar> nalioth: yes, but the exploit needs at least 14 characters after ".CC .END"
[12:51] <duelboot> ogami1972, just what is BZFlag?
[12:51] <ogami1972> try "bum" or sysv-init-rc
[12:51] <ogami1972> :|
[12:51] <yuion> mwe, i know,but when i start i its just say the port xxxx is blocked,but its not i have open it in the router
[12:52] <ogami1972> what?
[12:52] <eugman> This crazy javascript stuff or something doesn't work right with mozilla on dells rebate page. It says you need internet explor on the bottom too.
[12:52] <scorchsaber> I presume using J*s*s Chr*st as an expletive counts as not being respectful? Personally I find it more offensive when it's censored, don't you?
[12:52] <clerik> how can i changed the screen refresh rate if it is not listed in the System->Preferences->Screen Resolution menu ?
[12:52] <immolo> ogami1972, bum sucks :P
[12:52] <scorchsaber> Which is worse:
[12:52] <mwe> yuion: did you install a firewall or something or forward it to a different ip?
[12:52] <sfar> so banning on only ".cc .end" is a bit harsh..  if its possible, make the bot only to ban if its at least 14 characters in a row after .cc .end
[12:52] <scorchsaber> J*s*s Chr*st!
[12:52] <scorchsaber> or
[12:52] <ogami1972> in my darkes newbie days, it was bzflag that kep me in linux ( yes i know there is a windoze port); and yes bum is not good, but sysv-init-rc can be intimidating
[12:52] <nalioth> scorchsaber: show some respect to us, please. Any expletive is unwelcome here
[12:53] <scorchsaber> Jesus Christ!
[12:53] <yuion> mwe, i dont have install any firwwall by my slef,dunno id this stupid linux have that or something..and yes i forword my ip
[12:53] <pvd2006> I installed mplayer and new plugins for video decoding and now neither totem nor mplayer will play .avi folders. Can anyone help?
[12:53] <sirblue> jesus christ, what about it?
[12:53] <pvd2006> I re-installed*
[12:53] <pvd2006> .avi files*
[12:53] <eugman> So nobody here knows where I can get ie for wine?
[12:53] <nalioth> ubotu: tell sirblue about ircrules
[12:54] <ogami1972> now then, BZFlag is , IMHO, the best linux game around
[12:54] <mwe> yuion: is linux using the ip for your interface that the router is forwarding the port to?
[12:54] <venin> anyone been having trouble with mplayer-plugin and firefox 1.5?
[12:54] <yuion> mwe, ??
[12:54] <duelboot> ogami1972, I'm d/l bzflag now
[12:55] <yuion> mwe, if i write "ifconfig" its says i have <IP_ADDRESS>.. and that is what i foward
[12:55] <duelboot> presume there's a server to connect to ogami1972
[12:56] <mwe> yuion: I don't understand. on my router I configured it to forward the port to my local ip that is <IP_ADDRESS>. I don't forward the ip address. I dont know what that is or how to do it
[12:56] <edwin> Can anyone walk me through the install for an ATI card using xserver?
[12:57] <Symmetry_> hi Ubuntu
[12:57] <biovore> !ati
[12:57] <ubotu> I guess ati is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557&page=1&pp=10 or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=423589
[12:57] <ogami1972> tons o servers- have fun ( i'll see you soon! ;p)
[12:57] <Symmetry_> I'm running Ubuntu in VMware, and can't change resolutions to anything other than 1024x768, it comes out garbled
[12:57] <Symmetry_> any hints? (this is after installing VMware tools, which is an add-on package. Originally the installation worked fine with 1280x800 (my native res)
[12:57] <biovore> Symmetry_: works here
[12:57] <ogami1972> grrr- i actually have the IE4 package for linux, but can't find where i got it....
[12:57] <duelboot> ogami1972, are they preloaded?
[12:57] <scorchsaber> nalioth: perhaps showing the IRC rules before showing me the code of conduct is more apporpriate?
[12:57] <scorchsaber> nalioth: or at least before the kick
[12:57] <maike-maus> hello. I'd like to install mplayer, but my synaptics showed me 8 or 9 packages. does anyone know what's the right one?
[12:57] <majd> is there a program that comes with ubuntu to burn iso images?
[12:58] <eggzeck> ogami1972, IE4 as in Internet Explorer?!
[12:58] <mwe> venin: you need to link the plugin to /home/venin/.mozilla/plugins if you didn't
[12:58] <duelboot> majd, use K3B...I prefer it best
[12:58] <ogami1972> yeah- just start, then "find server"- pick one, enter a call sign and wath your back!
[12:58] <Symmetry_> biovore, it's probably been screwed up by VMware tools... could you tell me where to dig in ubuntu's settings perhaps
[12:58] <biovore> maike-maus: mplayer-686 is probably what you want
[12:58] <ogami1972> and yes, as in internet explorer- give me a minut
[12:58] <Symmetry_> other than the obvious menus etc
[12:58] <eugman> Eggzeck as opposed to Ireland 4?
[12:58] <scorchsaber> mplayer 586
[12:58] <duelboot> rgr cya
[12:58] <eggzeck> eugman, lol.
[12:58] <biovore> Symmetry_: graphics stuff is located in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:58] <sirblue> scorchsaber: and there even isn't anything about j.c. there...
[12:58] <Symmetry_> biovore, thanks
[12:58] <eggzeck> ogami1972, why would you want that?
[12:58] <yuion> mwe, and now i dont understand...and even if i change port usage in ktorrent it still scream about porst 6882
[12:59] <eugman> He doesn't I do.
[12:59] <digitalhav0c> whats the line to fix broken pkgs
[12:59] <scorchsaber> mplayer 56 is the right package, if I am not msitaken, miake-maus
[12:59] <eugman> So site are firefox incompatible.
[12:59] <venin> mwe, apple.com/trailers work fine.. its just some pages..
[12:59] <digitalhav0c> sudo apt-get -f or something like that?
[12:59] <scorchsaber> 586
[12:59] <eggzeck> eugman, why would you? Testing something?
[12:59] <venin> mwe, problem described here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-131093.html
[12:59] <biovore> digitalhav0c: sudo apt-get install -f
[12:59] <biovore> if trhere fixable
[12:59] <eugman> Nah, This one rebate site thing is wierd.
[01:00] <mwe> venin: I don't know. automatix is known to break things though
[01:00] <eugman> Hmm I think I found what i need. http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/
[01:00] <nalioth> !automatix
[01:00] <ubotu> automatix is, like, unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'y\nY\n'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, but it's often best to read the documentation.
[01:00] <venin> i know
[01:00] <venin> hehe
[01:00] <venin> but didnt when i installed it :p
[01:00] <digitalhav0c> thanks biovore
[01:00] <eugman> oh wait it lloks like it may just be for testing
[01:02] <mwe> venin: my great grand father smoked 60 cigarettes a day and lived to be 91 years old. does that mean it's safe to smoke 60 cigarettes a day?
[01:02] <mwe> venin: maybe it did break something after all
[01:02] <venin> uhm
[01:02] <venin> "i know, but i didnt when i installed it"
[01:02] <venin> i didnt KNOW when i installed it, hehe
[01:02] <eugman> venin , does it have your old settigs backed up if you want to undo it?
[01:03] <venin> eugman, not sure
[01:03] <mwe> venin: hmm
[01:03] <dungodung> my ubuntu crashes sometimes... when I start like 5 programs, it starts loading slowly and slower by the second until it almost completely blocks and I have to reset
[01:03] <dungodung> why is that?
[01:03] <eugman> I don't think it does but I may be wrong.
[01:03] <yuion> mwe, now its work
[01:03] <wvelez> hi...what program can i use to convert flac to mp3? thanks
[01:03] <mwe> dungodung: maybe it's using all your ram and starts trashing
[01:04] <mwe> yuion: good
[01:04] <mwe> well good night all ...
[01:04] <dungodung> well, I have 256, but still with WinXP it took much longer for it to crash
[01:04] <anizee> thats great
[01:04] <anizee> "took longer to crash
[01:04] <anizee> "
[01:05] <ogami1972> well, i didn't want it , so i tossed the package, and now can't remeber where i found it...
[01:05] <pvd2006> wow, VLC player works really well straight out of the package
[01:05] <NickGarvey> wvelez: http://tuxspot.blogspot.com/2005/08/converting-flac-to-mp3.html
[01:05] <NickGarvey> wvelez: that took me 30 seconds on google
[01:05] <eugman> Anyone know where I can get wine tools?
[01:07] <eugman> !winetools
[01:07] <dungodung> anizee: what I mean is... I have to reset quite a few times a day and it can really become really slow, whereas with WinXP, I didn't have to reboot for weeks
[01:07] <ubotu> My cat's name is Mittens! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, eugman
[01:07] <eugman> Ubotu has a cat? interesting...
[01:07] <ubotu> eugman: Do they come in packets of five. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[01:07] <anizee> oh ok
[01:07] <DewDude> i'm running ubuntu-PPC on an iMac..since i've recently rearranged things i've decided to stick it in a closet and make it a server...of sorts...i'd like to change from runlevel 5 to 3...where can i modify that setting?
[01:07] <NickGarvey> eugman: I'd try google, thats most likely your best bet
[01:07] <DewDude> i don't really need it to boot into a GUI on boot.
[01:07] <anizee> whats your proc
[01:08] <NickGarvey> DewDude: I believe its /etc/inittab, but the way that I do it is to remove the exectuable attribute on gdm in your start up scripts
[01:08] <dungodung> anizee: so how come ubuntu is so unreliable when it comes to this
[01:08] <NickGarvey> dungodung: kidding? I don't ever reboot my linux computer
[01:08] <DewDude> NickGarvey, i was looking around that and got confused...your way sounds like it'd work too
[01:09] <anizee> Id say to check what your swap size is, and see if Ubuntu is dumping correctly
[01:09] <NickGarvey> DewDude: trick my linux user group leader taught me ;)
[01:09] <dungodung> NickGarvey: that's what I'd like to have at my disposal, but it's just not doable now
[01:09] <DewDude> haha...do i modify all my rc? scripts?
[01:09] <NickGarvey> dungodung: do you have swap space?
[01:09] <DewDude> i'm really rusty with linux
[01:09] <dungodung> anizee: oh.. I don't have swap... I thought that might be the prob
[01:09] <NickGarvey> DewDude: don't modify them, just chmod a-x gdm
[01:09] <DewDude> my imac is running dev release Breezy
[01:09] <DewDude> hrmm
[01:09] <DewDude> ok
[01:09] <gnomefreak> dungodung: whats your ram at?
[01:10] <DewDude> one more question..where's the gdm executable
[01:10] <NickGarvey> gnomefreak: 256 I believe
[01:10] <dungodung> gnomefreak: 78.3%
[01:10] <NickGarvey> DewDude: don't change the executable, just the start up script
[01:10] <DewDude> or do i just need to type that in command line
[01:10] <DewDude> ....ok
[01:10] <gnomefreak> anything 1 gig of ram or more you dont need it (ive heard+read)
[01:10] <anizee> dungodung: how did U set up the drive
[01:10] <gnomefreak> dungodung: make a swap partition
[01:10] <ogami1972> i may have missed it, but why do you want IE, eugman?
[01:10] <NickGarvey> DewDude: cd /etc/rc5.something
[01:10] <gnomefreak> you nee dit
[01:10] <ogami1972> oh
[01:10] <DewDude> rc5.d
[01:10] <DewDude> gotcha
[01:10] <NickGarvey> DewDude: sudo chmod a-x gdm
[01:11] <dungodung> anizee: well I didn't use swap because I thought it was a bad doggie ;)
[01:11] <DewDude> ahhhhhhhhhhhh
[01:11] <anizee> dungodung, Id put in a gig swap
[01:11] <DewDude> it clicked into place
[01:11] <NickGarvey> dungodung: that would be why..
[01:11] <dungodung> but seriously, I have only NTFS partitions... is swap doable in those conditions?
[01:11] <anizee> dungodung, without it, ubuntu is gonna run out of ram too quickly
[01:11] <gnomefreak> swap should be atleast 2X your ram
[01:12] <ogami1972> really!
[01:12] <ogami1972> oh my!
[01:12] <mc|amb> hi, what's command in the terminal to get al my system info (kernel, themes, icons, etc)..?
[01:12] <void^> you can use a swapfile.
[01:12] <anizee> gnomefreak, I agree up to 1 gig of memory
[01:12] <thrice`> mc|amb, there is noe command
[01:12] <thrice`> single*
[01:12] <anizee> then there is less of a need
[01:12] <dungodung> can someone point me to a place where it is thoroughly described how to enable it
[01:12] <DewDude> ok, danke Nick...when the box reboots, i'll let you know
[01:12] <gnomefreak> anizee: correct
[01:12] <dungodung> or is someone willing to do it with me
[01:13] <NickGarvey> DewDude: :)
[01:13] <mc|amb> thrice, then how do I get, i've seen screenshots with the terminal displaying that kind of info
[01:13] <anizee> dungodung,  your gonna need to partition and format it
[01:13] <NickGarvey> !swap
[01:13] <ubotu> somebody said swap was used to put unused programs out of memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SwapFaq
[01:13] <NickGarvey> dungodung: check that link out ^
[01:13] <dungodung> sure will. thanks
[01:13] <DewDude> i got another hour of downloading left
[01:13] <dungodung> anizee: oh.. I'm afraid that won't be possible...
[01:13] <thrice`> mc|amb, well; uname -a will give kernel, cat /proc/cpuinfo will give cpu stuff, free -m will give memory...um
[01:14] <anizee> dungodung,  then add an old 1 gig drive to the box
[01:14] <NickGarvey> dungodung: yeah my swap is on an old HD
[01:14] <mc|amb> thrice`, ok, thanks
[01:14] <gnomefreak> dungodung: you can just add swap space to a new partiton he didnt mean format the harddrive
[01:14] <anizee> dungodung, hell take a damaged drive and partition the swap around the bad area
[01:14] <unbuntu> Hey guys, is there some way to make Wine have more support?
[01:15] <dungodung> gnomefreak: I have about 4 gigs left on this partition that's being used for linux. can I add 1 gig for swap here?
[01:15] <anizee> gnomefreak, yea sorry
[01:15] <dungodung> andrey: I don't have any more room in my rack ;)
[01:15] <anizee> dungodung, not likely, but possible
[01:15] <vidchi> Does anyone know how I can find out dependency problems for .deb packages?
[01:15] <IdleOne> hmm this 1 gig hd swap thing is interesting is there a wiki that explains how to do this?
[01:15] <vidchi> please
[01:16] <NickGarvey> !tell IdleOne about swap
[01:16] <unbuntu> Which would you suggest Xwine or wine
[01:16] <IdleOne> thank you
[01:16] <anizee> gots to go!!
[01:16] <vidchi> I got it nvm
[01:16] <zambaboo> ok guys

[01:18] <vidchi> how do i install  libstdc++2.10-glib2.2
[01:18] <vidchi>  please
[01:19] <NickGarvey> vidchi: man aptitude
[01:19] <NickGarvey> unbuntu: depends on what you need it for
[01:19] <vidchi> NickGarvey, ty
[01:19] <vidchi> nxclient
[01:19] <unbuntu> Anyone know a windows emulator that will play starcraft
[01:19] <harisund> could some one tell me how I can find the commands that run my applets? Like I have a Sticky notes applet.. how do I know what command runs it?
[01:20] <unbuntu> Anyone know a windows emulator that will play starcraft

[01:22] <Pavix> When installing sun java I get Package sun-j2re1.5 is not available, but is referred to by another package. etc
[01:22] <NickGarvey> unbuntu: I'd look into cedega
[01:22] <Pavix> What do I do to fix
[01:22] <sorsis> Ubugtu: i think that wine or cedega did it
[01:22] <harisund> could some one tell me how I can find the commands that run my applets? Like I have a Sticky notes applet.. how do I know what command runs it?
[01:23] <seishi> i need to talk with someone about allegro instalation on ubuntu... plz pvt-me
[01:23] <unbuntu> Thanks
[01:23] <sorsis> Ubugtu: you can allso look to linux-gamers.com if there is linux native binary ro something
[01:23] <__mikem> For gaming, cedega seems like a good idea, however if you don't want to pay money, with a little work, you can get a lot of stuff to run reliably on wine
[01:23] <sorsis> whops. wrong nick
[01:23] <__mikem> !cedega
[01:24] <grogoreo> hi

[01:25] <harisund> thrice: What you had typed? Could you type that again? (sorry)
[01:25] <thrice`> harisund, :)  try ps aux, see what's running on your system currently; it should show up
[01:26] <phoul> _jason, i couldnt find the xine plugin
[01:26] <phoul> I looked in synaptic but to no success

[01:27] <e-sin> !freeformats
[01:27] <IdleOne> NickGarvey, the !swap wiki tells me how to add a swap partition to my system but it doesnt say anything about adding a ex: 2gig HD and making it swap. unless I am not understanding something on the site

[01:29] <clerik> how can i changed the screen refresh rate if it is not listed in the System->Preferences->Screen Resolution menu ?

[01:31] <ubotu> Please don't flood the channel! For best results use the pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ and tell people the URL
[01:31] <__mikem> _jason, I know, but wiki.ubuntu.com/cedega says something about Cedega CVS which is supposed to be free
[01:31] <_jason> phoul: k, under gxine starter plugin, what does it say for 'File name: ' right underneath?
[01:32] <phoul> gxineplugin.so
[01:32] <__mikem> i tried going to the link it mentioned, but I am having a bit of trouble
[01:32] <phoul> Yeah
[01:32] <biovore> __mikem: cedega cvs is the  whole thing
[01:32] <biovore> (isn't)
[01:32] <_jason> phoul: pastebin the results of 'locate gxineplugin.so'
[01:32] <biovore> __mikem: you don't get the close source direct X stuff

[01:32] <natesmith> hey, right now i have a dual-boot XP and ubuntu PC an 2 hard disks, but I'd like to remove windows and install ubuntu on the main hard disk, so that it runs using both hard disks. How will this work? How do I format each and once I've done it how will I access each disk?
[01:32] <__mikem> viovore, I am not sure what you mean
[01:33] <unbuntu> I thought All Linux programs were free?
[01:33] <_jason> !free
[01:33] <ubotu> I guess free is Free as in free software = free as in freedom. For more info visit:http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
[01:33] <phoul> _jason, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12057
[01:33] <biovore> __mikem: the pay version of cedega uses close source mircosoft libs to emulate
[01:33] <HymnToLife> ubuntulog> then you thought wrong
[01:33] <biovore> GNU == Free
[01:33] <Kira> weeee
[01:34] <_jason> phoul: dpkg -S /home/colin/.mozilla/plugins/gxineplugin.so
[01:34] <__mikem> biovore, go to wiki.ubuntu.com/cedega
[01:34] <Kira> I just realised that 6.04 should be coming out soon. :)
[01:34] <HymnToLife> natesmith> just install Ubuntu on the main drive the same way you did for the other drive
[01:34] <ogami1972> well, lessee if there's anyone new in here...
[01:34] <natesmith> do I format the second drive using LVM?
[01:34] <blanky> he
[01:34] <phoul> _jason, colin@Ubuntu:~$  dpkg -S /home/colin/.mozilla/plugins/gxineplugin.so
[01:34] <phoul> dpkg: /home/colin/.mozilla/plugins/gxineplugin.so not found.
[01:34] <blanky> when does dapper come out, the release, about when
[01:34] <ogami1972> does anyone have flash w/ sound in Dapper?
[01:34] <__mikem> the last two lines in the paragraph
[01:34] <_jason> phoul: rm /home/colin/.mozilla/plugins/gxineplugin.so /home/colin/.firefox/plugins/gxineplugin.so, and restart firefox
[01:34] <blanky> !dapper
[01:34] <ubotu> Dapper Drake will be the next release of Ubuntu - due June 1 (see: http://tinyurl.com/qyrkq). Join channel #ubuntu+1 for discussion :)
[01:34] <__mikem> You can use a CVS version of cedega (this is free), instructions on how to install this are at [WWW]
[01:34] <HymnToLife> natesmith> I never used LVM, I guess it should work fine but you don't HAVE to
[01:34] <blanky> JUNE 1ST?! WOW
[01:35] <blanky> i thought it'd be out this april
[01:35] <CookedGryphon> natesmith you can set the other hard drive as a mount point
[01:35] <natesmith> how?
[01:35] <ogami1972> a delay was set to iron a few bugs out
[01:35] <ogami1972> like this flash thing for instance
[01:35] <HymnToLife> blanky> it was postponed as you can see :p
[01:35] <unbuntu> Wait, if everything that runs on linux is open source, how to they prevent a person from just copying the files
[01:35] <blanky> HymnToLife, the world's gonna end! a delay?! from ubuntu!? noooo!
[01:35] <HymnToLife> ubuntulog> not everything that runs on Linux is open source
[01:35] <phoul> _jason, still same problem
[01:36] <ogami1972> um, what do you mean?
[01:36] <Eleaf> ???????
[01:36] <JImRaynor> ok, so I lookedup my wireless card on wiki.ubuntu.com and ofcourse the install page is broken
[01:36] <eugman> Unbuntu and what might that person do with the files?
[01:36] <JImRaynor> so I need to know how to install my broadcom wireless card
[01:36] <Eleaf> lol
[01:36] <ogami1972> copy all you want- just make sure everyone else gets too as well...
[01:36] <_jason> phoul: it still lists gxineplugin.so in firefox's about:plugins?
[01:36] <Cloud_tm> Ahem:  Where are programs stored with WINE? Where can I look to find the file in the fake "C:" drive?
[01:36] <HymnToLife> JImRaynor> you had a look at the links ubotu gave you  ?
[01:36] <biovore> ~/.wine ussualy
[01:36] <maike-maus> hello, I still need your help with plugin or codec or whatever to play a wmv file. my about:plugin page can be seen here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/d12058
[01:36] <JImRaynor> yup
[01:36] <natesmith> how would install my second HD as a mount point?
[01:36] <JImRaynor> ubotu failed me
[01:36] <ubotu> JImRaynor: Bugger all, I dunno. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[01:36] <phoul> _jason, gxine starter plugin yeah
[01:36] <HymnToLife> Cloud_tm> winecfg
[01:36] <blanky> someone please LISTEN: are there latest builds of ubuntu distro? or do i have to get the old one, the one when it came out
[01:36] <blanky> in other words
[01:37] <unbuntu> How is everything not open source, i thought it was all accessable
[01:37] <_jason> phoul: are you sure you closed all instances of firefox?
[01:37] <blanky> do they make new releases of ubuntu, i mean, still version 5.10, but with updated programs already
[01:37] <blanky> instead of having to update and all
[01:37] <HymnToLife> will open the WINE configuration panel, in the Drives tab in it you will find the paths of your fake WINE draives
[01:37] <phoul> _jason, yes i will do it once more tho
[01:37] <ogami1972> OMG!
[01:37] <e-sin> blanky, short answer is no
[01:37] <_jason> phoul: when you close them, do: ps aux | grep firefox, to make sure
[01:37] <blanky> e-sin, damn, i hate having to update for 9 hours straight
[01:37] <Eleaf> ubuntu, huh?
[01:37] <unbuntu> I thought you couldn't truly "hide" files on linux
[01:37] <ogami1972> ok- flash sound IS coming from the onboard, just not the pci card!
[01:37] <Cloud_tm> HymnToLifeL Where is the wine config panel. how do I access that
[01:37] <eugman> unbuntu sometimes things like video drivers a re needed but aren't open source. You yoiurself can install stuff that is closed source but verything that comes with ubuntu is open source or very important.
[01:37] <ogami1972> anyone know this?
[01:38] <Eleaf> unbuntu, what are you talking about?
[01:38] <HymnToLife> ubuntulog> then you thought wrong :)
[01:38] <_jason> ubotu: tell maike-maus about replacetotem
[01:38] <phoul> whoop i guess i didnt
[01:38] <phoul> It works now
[01:38] <phoul> :)
[01:38] <phoul> Thx _jason
[01:38] <biovore> unbuntu: you can't on the filesystem.. but you can unlink some filesystem nodes and hide them :-P
[01:38] <_jason> phoul: great, np
[01:38] <HymnToLife> if some dude creates a piece of software and doesn't want it to be open soure, it's his choice
[01:39] <Chousuke> HymnToLife: unless he utilises GPL libraries while making it.
[01:39] <unbuntu> So they can prevent you from accessing them?
[01:39] <_jason> !offtopic
[01:39] <ubotu> Non Ubuntu support related discussions may be carried out in the channel #ubuntu-offtopic. Editor/Language wars are welcome there!
[01:39] <biovore> :-p  GPL just says you have to distribute the source with your program
[01:39] <biovore> nothing about it being free of charge
[01:40] <Chousuke> of course.
[01:40] <unbuntu> But if you want to delete a file, (such as an important one) nothing stops you?
[01:40] <Chousuke> I can sell you Ubuntu discs for $100 a piece. Want some?
[01:40] <CookedGryphon> hi, does anyone know where i could send my suggestion for a better dapper logo?
[01:40] <Chousuke> I can draw pretty pictures on them!
[01:40] <biovore> hehe
[01:40] <Chousuke> (stick figures)
[01:40] <unbuntu> sorry chousuke, mabey some other time
[01:40] <HymnToLife> unbuntu> important files are normally read only for any user
[01:40] <biovore> hmm must work for redhat
[01:40] <HymnToLife> you have to be root or use sudo to delete them
[01:41] <unbuntu> oh
[01:41] <unbuntu> ok
[01:41] <Chousuke> unbuntu: filenames starting with a . are considered hidden
[01:41] <ogami1972> ok folks- here i sproblem- flash only plays through onboard sound- any ideas?
[01:41] <unbuntu> ok
[01:41] <unbuntu> thanks guys
[01:42] <tspier2> Hi. I set up Apache, PHP, and MySQL on my computer, because I want to make it into a little server. How can I change the URL from "http://localhost:78" to an actual URL? And also, how can I change the home page from the default file browser to one of the files?
[01:43] <ReleaseX> good evening
[01:43] <eugman> Hey is there a way to cli install a rpinter?
[01:43] <Aeos> where can I disable the screensaver without going through the screensaver gui. If I even view the demo of the screensaver my system will lock up
[01:43] <LadyNikon> wow
[01:43] <LadyNikon> tspier2: do you have a domain?
[01:43] <Cloud_tm> How do i set up a link on my desktop to go to a certain file using WINE?
[01:44] <HymnToLife> tspier2> you mean so that people will access your server by a ttp://xxx.yyy.org URL ?
[01:44] <LadyNikon> also.. tspier2  you have to edit the file... or create a new file to put in the defaults page place.
[01:44] <DewDude> heh...i need a new network switch
[01:44] <_jason> Aeos: ~/.xscreensaver
[01:44] <DewDude> i even touch the power cord and it cuts out
[01:44] <LadyNikon> DewDude: doh!
[01:44] <DewDude> yeah
[01:44] <DewDude> my mini-lan
[01:45] <DewDude> cuz i've got two computers in here
[01:45] <DewDude> soon i'll have three
[01:45] <eugman> Anyone know how I can install a printer without using the administartor-> printing option?
[01:45] <DewDude> but the laptop has wifi
[01:45] <biovore> eugman: cupsys?
[01:45] <tspier2> I might be getting a free domain from that www.no-ip.com site.
[01:45] <tspier2> Which file do I need to edit?

[01:46] <HymnToLife> is*
[01:46] <DewDude> oh..
[01:46] <CookedGryphon> Aeos: i have that problem, are you using compiz/xgl/dapper? i assumed it was somethign to do with xgl
[01:46] <Vilan> ok
[01:46] <DewDude> you need to edit your apache conf and set up a vhost
[01:46] <eugman> tspier2 no file i belive
[01:46] <biovore> tspier2: I belive they give you a script to update your system
[01:46] <eugman> They can send the people who go to say tspier2.redirectme.net to you computer at a specific port
[01:47] <eugman> And the DO provide an update script.
[01:47] <eugman> er they do
[01:47] <tspier2> Oh

[01:50] <biovore> eugman: then muck around in the /etc/cups/ stuff
[01:50] <Alphie> pleaseeeeeeeee
[01:50] <biovore> ask your question
[01:50] <eugman> gah
[01:50] <Alphie> ok
[01:50] <Alphie> i have a 1394 ethernet controller
[01:50] <Alphie> and ubuntu recognizes it
[01:50] <Alphie> but it's disabled by default
[01:50] <Alphie> and when i try to enable it
[01:50] <tspier2> Alphie, #1 rule of IRC: Don't ask to ask a question; just say it.
[01:51] <Tm_T> !helpme
[01:51] <ubotu> If you do not actually ask a question, we can not actually help you.
[01:51] <Tm_T> ah, even bot knows that
[01:51] <tspier2> Lol
[01:51] <Alphie> using the admin button and pushing enable it will goto enable then disable itself right after
[01:52] <__mikem> Hey, I downloaded the cvs thing, I did sh WineCVS.sh, but I am having some problems
[01:52] <Alphie> so i dunno what to do if it just keeps disabling itself?
[01:53] <NickGarvey> !tell Alphie about enter
[01:53] <biovore> what 1394 chipset you using? (try a lspci on the command prompt)
[01:53] <Alphie> lspci?
[01:54] <Alphie> i'm on windows right now -.-
[01:55] <Alphie> all it says is, "ethernet adapter" in ip config
[01:55] <Eleaf> yenter
[01:56] <biovore> Alphie: this is a linux support channel.. not windows
[01:56] <Alphie> i know, i'm looking for support on ubuntu it's just that i don't have any other distro of linux installed
[01:57] <biovore> Alphie: well looking at what you got you want to run IP over firewire?
[01:57] <ogami1972> ok- i am not trying to be pushy, but my brother is coming to pick up his "new" computer, and i can't figure this out
[01:57] <ogami1972> sounds in flash only play through onboard, not PCI
[01:57] <biovore> ogami1972: turn of the onboard audio
[01:58] <Pupeno> Hello.
[01:58] <NickGarvey> hello
[01:58] <ogami1972> no, everything else plays thru the pci card (xmms, amarok, xine, etc)
[01:58] <Pupeno> Does anybody know the name of the GNome diff viewer ? I've seen a friend use it; it is similar to Kompare.
[01:58] <Alphie> what i got is a generic 1394 ethernet adapter used in sony VAIO desktop and i need ubuntu to work with it to use PPPOE to log into my adsl connection
[01:58] <ogami1972> is there a way to "pipe" it?
[01:59] <tspier2> LadyNikon, what is the default page for Apache2?
[02:00] <biovore> Alphie: a PPPOE adsl modem.. I have never seen on of those..
[02:00] <biovore> (firewire one)
[02:00] <LadyNikon> tspier2: i dunno exactly where it is.
[02:01] <LadyNikon> you can probably locate the html page.
[02:01] <DewDude> tspier2, are you trying to set up a website?
[02:01] <LadyNikon> on your default page i think it tells you where it us.
[02:01] <LadyNikon> is*
[02:01] <tspier2> Yes
[02:01] <tspier2> Okay
[02:01] <Alphie> lol biovore
[02:01] <DewDude> and you got a domain from no-ip.com right?
[02:01] <tspier2> Ah
[02:01] <tspier2> I know now.
[02:01] <DewDude> heh
[02:02] <tspier2> You just put your files into the default directory (/var/www/apache2-default), and it will load up.
[02:02] <DewDude> you can specify where your documentroot is in the apache conf file
[02:02] <tspier2> At least, I think so.
[02:02] <warpzone_> hey guys
[02:02] <DewDude> tspier2, you can specify the directory for your HTML
[02:02] <tspier2> In apache2.conf?
[02:02] <DewDude> yes
[02:03] <acetech82> sorry for asking here... but i am working on some java homework and am trying to send a int, int statement to a class and get the variable back.... for some reason i am only able to send one int statement and not two.  Can someone pointme to a good irc channel for help on this or help me out with this problem?
[02:03] <NickGarvey> #java
[02:03] <DewDude> you can specify a vhost if you want
[02:03] <rttedder> Hello. Can anyone tell me how to view my system profile in Ubuntu? Memory, etc.?
[02:03] <eugman> Hey I'm running dapper and can't get a response in ubuntu+1 anyone have any idea why when I try to add a printer nothing happens aftert I hit apply?
[02:03] <DewDude> or just modify the default settings
[02:03] <JImRaynor> acetech82, ##java
[02:03] <Alphie> biovore
[02:03] <Alphie> i found my chipset lol
[02:03] <acetech82> JimRaynor, thanks i will try it out
[02:04] <JImRaynor> :D
[02:04] <warpzone_> I'm having a problem with my locales and can't upgrade anything. I dont know when it started. Here's the error:

[02:04] <johnny3d> hello.  I would like to install KDE fully through synaptic from breezy.  Is this possible?
[02:04] <tspier2> acetech82, if you ever have a question that is programming-related, just get onto FreeNode, and type /join #whatever_programming_language, and it probably has a channel.
[02:04] <Alphie> SPAM
[02:04] <warpzone_> my bad, didnt think it would split like that
[02:05] <biovore> warpzone_: dpkg-reconfigure locales
[02:05] <biovore> or locale
[02:05] <biovore> I forget exactly
[02:05] <warpzone_> biovore: thanks I'll give it a shot!
[02:05] <majd> does the php5-mysql package install only mysql4.0 support?
[02:05] <tspier2> warpzone, http://www.pastebin.be
[02:05] <eugman> johnny3d yes installing kubuntu-desktop should do it.
[02:06] <johnny3d> eugman, I understand that part.  Is it possible to do a full install of KDE from synaptic?
[02:06] <DewDude> umm
[02:06] <DewDude> installing kubuntu-desktop does a full kde install
[02:06] <warpzone_> tspier2: whats the site for?
[02:06] <DewDude> kubuntu-desktop is just a meta package telling synaptic what other packages to install
[02:06] <Alphie> biovore i think i found my ethernet adapter  Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169
[02:06] <biovore> rgr that dewdude
[02:06] <biovore> gigabit?
[02:06] <DewDude> so you install kubuntu-desktop..synaptic will install KDE completely
[02:06] <johnny3d> DewDude, to my understanding it installs k-desktop alongside gnome
[02:06] <eugman> Unless there is some part of KDE that is extraneous it should, yes.
[02:07] <DewDude> yes.
[02:07] <DewDude> it does.
[02:07] <DewDude> you can pick what you want when you log-in
[02:07] <Alphie> not gigabit 100/10
[02:07] <Alphie> 10/100 i mean
[02:07] <biovore> Alphie:  RTL-8169 I think works
[02:07] <johnny3d> DewDude, I don't want that option.  I would like a complete KDE install
[02:07] <warpzone_> biovore: another error:  /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: locales is broken or not fully installed
[02:07] <DewDude> then get kubuntu
[02:07] <johnny3d> DewDude, thats my question.
[02:07] <DewDude> but
[02:07] <DewDude> honestly, there's no difference
[02:07] <Alphie> it's recognised biovore but the system doesn't want to let it enable
[02:07] <DewDude> i started with kubuntu, and migrated to gnome
[02:08] <DewDude> it doesn't affect performance
[02:08] <johnny3d> DewDude, what made you switch?
[02:08] <biovore> Alphie: dose it have a link light?
[02:08] <DewDude> i don't know
[02:08] <majd> Ok, when i type mysql -u root in terminal i get: Your MySQL connection id is 26 to server version: 4.1.12-Debian_1ubuntu3.1-log
[02:08] <Alphie> yes
[02:08] <DewDude> i like the nice clean look of gnome
[02:08] <Alphie> Biovore: yes
[02:08] <DewDude> KDE just seems kinda..cluttered
[02:08] <DewDude> and big
[02:08] <DewDude> i used to be a KDE person though.
[02:08] <biovore> Alphie: this in windows?
[02:08] <Thinkl00p> anyone have asite with update sources for apt for ubuntu?
[02:09] <Tm_T> DewDude: yeah
[02:09] <johnny3d> DewDude, yeah...  I have an ubuntu install on another HD
[02:09] <Tm_T> DewDude: http://www.tm-travolta.net/shots/current.png
[02:09] <arrick> Thinkl00p, easysoerces.net
[02:09] <Tm_T> DewDude: wwwhat's that?
[02:09] <arrick> Sources
[02:09] <majd> however, when i run phpinfo.php, it shows it up as 4.0
[02:09] <Alphie> biovore: i don't understand what's in windows?
[02:09] <arrick> !sources
[02:09] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
[02:09] <DewDude> lemme look
[02:10] <arrick> evening all
[02:10] <LathropWells> Hello!  - I am recieving an errr with ./configure - posted the output here  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12059 - Any ideas?
[02:10] <johnny3d> so once again to my original question, is it possible to install KDE through synaptic?
[02:10] <DewDude> dude
[02:10] <DewDude> i like that
[02:10] <DewDude> Johnny3d: i told you
[02:10] <Tm_T> DewDude: but, what is it? ;)
[02:10] <NickGarvey> johnny3d: yes.. someone told you..
[02:10] <DewDude> install kubuntu-desktop
[02:10] <DewDude> Tm_T, i don't know
[02:10] <Thinkl00p> easysources.net don't exist :(
[02:10] <johnny3d> noooooooooo
[02:10] <Tm_T> DewDude: KDE ofcourse ;)
[02:10] <DewDude> heh
[02:10] <biovore> Alphie: I think I have heard of this problem before.. I had a buddy that had issues with the 1394 and the ethernet controller working at the same time..
[02:10] <IdleOne> johnny3d, the answer is yes..if you want just a kde os then download kubuntu and do a fresh install
[02:10] <Tm_T> IdleOne: no, don't say that
[02:11] <Tm_T> EVER
[02:11] <johnny3d> IdleOne, how about through synaptic minus a cd burner?
[02:11] <Tm_T> johnny3d: install kubuntu-desktop package
[02:11] <Alphie> biovore: uhoh, i must have the most uncompatible chipset ever >:(
[02:11] <JImRaynor> how do I install a .deb file?
[02:11] <DewDude> johnny3d, i gave you the information you asked for.
[02:11] <bimberi> !deb
[02:11] <ubotu> To install a .deb file: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb  (but note that the program you want might be installable using !apt from the !repos)
[02:11] <DewDude> if you don't want to listen, blame yourself
[02:11] <void^> LathropWells: err, it seems you run it with ./configure as a parameter.. ?
[02:11] <Tm_T> :)
[02:11] <Thinkl00p> also i have a .bin file but i try to do sudo ./whatever.bin and it says command not found
[02:11] <Thinkl00p> ?
[02:11] <DewDude> everyone here has said if you want kde through synaptic, install kubuntu-desktop
[02:12] <Tm_T> johnny3d: just install that kubuntu-desktop package
[02:12] <LathropWells> void yes, Was that right to do?
[02:12] <[photon] > hey i can't get my wireless networking working... my hardware is recognized and seems to work, but ubuntu won
[02:12] <bimberi> Thinkl00p: sudo sh whatever.bin
[02:12] <void^> LathropWells: no
[02:12] <[photon] > hey i can't get my wireless networking working... my hardware is recognized and seems to work, but ubuntu won't associate to my ap
[02:12] <Der_Richter> Someone who wants to help me a little with ATi-drivers on AMD64-Ubuntu? I'm going insane here...
[02:12] <johnny3d> DewDude, ok.  I am not disregarding your advice.  I am searching all possibilities first.
[02:12] <DewDude> johnny: that's the only possbility
[02:12] <[photon] > the signal given in the iwlist scan is fine, but iwconfig shows 0 signal and if i don't hardset the channel keeps jumping channels
[02:12] <Tm_T> johnny3d: that's best possibility
[02:12] <LathropWells> lol - okay. - i need a tip. (or the linux for dummies book.)
[02:12] <Tm_T> johnny3d: trust me
[02:12] <arrick> Quit repeating your self [photon]
[02:12] <arrick> !juatask
[02:12] <ubotu> No idea, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, arrick
[02:12] <DewDude> unless you want to select all hundred some packages manually
[02:12] <arrick> !patiences
[02:12] <ubotu> Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, arrick
[02:13] <void^> LathropWells: you're already in the correct directory, just start with ./configure
[02:13] <LathropWells> likely both - grin
[02:13] <NickGarvey> arrick: haha 0 for 2
[02:13] <arrick> !patience
[02:13] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Please be aware there are a lot of questions, but only maybe few who might know the answer for you. Please be patient. Your attitude may determine their willingness to help you.
[02:13] <DewDude> just, install kubuntu-desktop, it'll install all the packages, configure things.
[02:13] <[photon] > arrick: I chopped off the first bit the first time
[02:13] <johnny3d> ok.  I'll install the desktop and wait for a pressed disk.
[02:13] <Der_Richter> Or is AMD64-version incompatible with the fglrx-modules?
[02:13] <arrick> yeah I hate typeing on the laptop now NickGarvey
[02:13] <[photon] > arrick: just included all of it the second time to make it more legible than a half a sentence :)
[02:13] <LathropWells> void - Thank You. :)
[02:13] <NickGarvey> arrick: I like my laptop keyboard
[02:13] <NickGarvey> arrick: I like flat keys compared to curved ones
[02:13] <johnny3d> DewDude, thankyou for the advice
[02:14] <DewDude> heh, didn't even give me enough time to say no problem
[02:14] <arrick> yeah I have been going back and forth for 2 weeks now on my server and my laptop, and now gotten used to the server NickGarvey
[02:14] <Tm_T> nnnnh
[02:14] <Tm_T> DewDude: nor me to say "welcome to #kubuntu "
[02:14] <DewDude> hahaha
[02:14] <DewDude> dude, i like your theme
[02:15] <DewDude> i'd set something up like that..but..i don't know linux
[02:15] <DewDude> at least not well enough to figure it out
[02:15] <JImRaynor> ok, I"m having trouble installing ndiswrapper
[02:15] <Tm_T> DewDude: but as you saw in my screenshot, KDE doesn't have to be ... well, BIG in look'n'feel
[02:15] <JImRaynor> I went here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowtoUseNdiswrapperOnAmd64Ubuntu?highlight=%28ndiswrapper%29
[02:15] <JImRaynor> but on step 5
[02:15] <JImRaynor> it failed
[02:15] <DewDude> well, i've seen some themes for KDE i liked
[02:15] <Tm_T> heh
[02:15] <DewDude> i could never get them to run. cuz i wanted to run the macosx theme for a while
[02:15] <arrick> ok movie time for me
[02:15] <JImRaynor> oh wait
[02:15] <JImRaynor> nm
[02:15] <JImRaynor> sorry
[02:15] <Thinkl00p> anyone got a site for updated ubuntu sources for apt?
[02:15] <DewDude> becuase i'm running ubuntu on an imac..i thought it'd be cool
[02:15] <DewDude> faux-OSX
[02:15] <arrick> IdleOne, I caught 9 18+inch bass today
[02:15] <JImRaynor> forgot make deb
[02:16] <arrick> good eating
[02:16] <lgc> Hello all from .mx! Is anyone knowledgeable with DRB in Acrobat?
[02:16] <Tm_T> DewDude: to get what I have here, I have tweaking codes too, not every noobs job ofcourse... but close can get without touching the code
[02:16] <DewDude> yeah...see..i started getting the hang of this..then like..stopped using linux for months..naturally i forgot most of what i knew
[02:17] <DewDude> well, i didn't really stop..i've been using SSH on my mobile device for a few months now
[02:17] <bimberi> !tell Thinkl00p about repos
[02:17] <lgc> _jason, nalioth you guys know about DRM stuff?
[02:18] <nalioth> lgc: just ask your question to the channel
[02:18] <protocol1> isnt ssh basically a remote login
[02:18] <protocol1> ?
[02:18] <void^> ..yes?
[02:18] <DewDude> heh, remote shell
[02:18] <protocol1> cool
[02:19] <bimberi> protocol1: yes, but via an encrypted pipe
[02:19] <protocol1> nice
[02:19] <warpzone_> hey guys, I'm trying 'dpkg-reconfigure' but its returning '/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: locales is broken or not fully installed
[02:19] <warpzone_> '
[02:19] <DewDude> an encrypted pipe between two untrusted hosts
[02:19] <DewDude> :)
[02:19] <DewDude> that's what's crazy
[02:19] <protocol1> so how do you use it?
[02:19] <lgc> nalioth, hi! I sort of did. Do you know how to activate DRM in Acrobat Reader?
[02:19] <bimberi> DewDude: :)
[02:19] <protocol1> ssh IP address?
[02:19] <DewDude> umm
[02:19] <bimberi> protocol1: yes, but a ssh server needs to be running at the other end
[02:19] <protocol1> ahh got ya
[02:20] <DewDude> yeah..then it's just like having a terminal window to the box
[02:20] <protocol1> whats  some server software for ssh
[02:20] <DewDude> like, my Sidekick II has a SSH client..so i can connect to my home machine and use BX or other apps
[02:20] <lgc> noirequus, playing chameleon?
[02:20] <bimberi> protocol1: in ubuntu the package is called 'openssh-server'
[02:20] <protocol1> ok cool
[02:20] <DewDude> install..go
[02:20] <noirequus> lgc: you are off topic in this channel
[02:21] <zarephath> I have Ubuntu PPC...I have read the wiki on restricted formats...I am still unable to play a mpeg video file...
[02:21] <DewDude> hrmmm
[02:21] <lgc> DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO ACTIVATE DRM IN ACROBAT READER? (I JUST CAN'T FIND AN OPTION ON THE SPANISH VERSION!)
[02:21] <Eleaf> zarephath, what player?
[02:21] <LathropWells> nalioth - Thank You for your help making a transition to linux easier. Can you take a look at the pastebin? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12059
[02:21] <DewDude> zarephath, did you ever read the unoffical ubuntu guide?
[02:21] <HymnToLife> !caps
[02:21] <ubotu> FYI, typing in ALL CAPS is considered to be 'yelling', and therefore rude behaviour.
[02:22] <protocol1> I just installed it....is there anything I need to configure?
[02:22] <zarephath> Eleaf: I have tried them all...just installed kaffeine...keeps telling me there isn't a decoder that will work....win32 codecs are not an option on PPC
[02:22] <DewDude> yes
[02:22] <DewDude> i had win32 codecs on my PPC
[02:22] <nalioth> lgc: you are offtopic in this channel, and any ubuntu channel. there are many pdf readers available for linux that do not involve DRM or cracking it
[02:22] <zarephath> natun, mplayer, kaffeine
[02:22] <ogami1972> ROCK!
[02:23] <Eleaf> zarephath, I don't like kaffeine, could never get it to play anything on ppc.
[02:23] <HymnToLife> protocol1> nothing AFAIK
[02:23] <Eleaf> zarephath, I use gxine or something..
[02:23] <HymnToLife> here it works fine without configuring nything
[02:23] <zarephath> Eleaf: Kewl thanks
[02:23] <ogami1972> to anyone who has been following, i solved my flash sound problem by adding my soundcard module to the top of the list
[02:23] <Eleaf> mplayer might work well, haven't tried it much with ppc though ;p
[02:23] <protocol1> cool
[02:23] <Thinkl00p> which sources should I put so I can get the new software versions like for firefox etc... obviously not the ones for Breezy Badger?
[02:24] <Ap4ch3> firefox does its own updates from version 1.5
[02:24] <HymnToLife> !tell Thinkl00p about ff1.5
[02:25] <cratel> !tell cratel about ff1.5
[02:25] <lgc> nalioth, you sound almost religious! The thing is that I am forced to used "#$#" Acrobat Reader, which was a pain to install (maybe you'd like to know it doesn't install meaningfully from the Ubuntu (on topic, I guess) apt sources).
[02:26] <zarephath> Eleaf: Yeah that did it....I can't believe all those others don't work correctly....it sucks
[02:26] <Eleaf> zarephath, ;)
[02:27] <LathropWells> patience lgc. being short with the moderator isn't likely to help. - grin
[02:28] <Drasla> hey, does anyone know a command to open a new terminal window, execute some commands, then leave the window open?
[02:29] <tspier2> If you are using the regular terminal, go File/Open Terminal/Default, and it will open the terminal in a new window.
[02:29] <tspier2> It will stay open, unless you click the x. ;)
[02:30] <cafuego> or hit ^d a few times (pending $IGNOREEOF) or type 'exit'
[02:30] <bheung> Drasla: you can also run some custom commands through the profile menu
[02:30] <Drasla> i'm looking for a command to di it though.  like, gnome-terminal will open a new window
[02:30] <Drasla> and gnome-terminal --command="something" will open a new terminal and execute the commands
[02:30] <lgc> LathropWells, it's nothing personal. I like the guy. Only thing is that I don't get any clue of what I am asking but I do get sort of a reprimand for daring to air my question. But you see, it DOES go back to an Ubuntu issue.
[02:30] <Drasla> but then it closes the window after the commands have executed
[02:31] <Xenguy> dosemu question: is it necessary to have DOS installed somewhere in order to use 'dosemu' ?
[02:32] <void^> no
[02:32] <bheung> Drasla: I haven't tried this.. but looking at the man page, you can open "gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=PROFILENAME" and set a custom profile that executes a command?
[02:32] <amgad> guys, how can i show hidden files burned on a cd with windows??
[02:32] <cafuego> zarephath: People should care about acroread though.
[02:32] <DewDude> ls -a
[02:32] <DewDude> i think.
[02:32] <Tm_T> Xenguy: no
[02:33] <Xenguy> void^ Tm_T so if I want to write a batch file/script and test it out, would dosemu be a sufficient environment to do that ?
[02:33] <void^> Xenguy: iirc it comes with freedos
[02:33] <Tm_T> Xenguy: dos script?
[02:33] <cratel> I use acroread because it is the only pdf reader I could find the consistently opens up pdf accurately. Believe me it was a last resort...
[02:33] <Gareth> hm, a bit unrelated to ubuntu, but can anyone suggest a nice lightweight irc framework?
[02:33] <Xenguy> Tm_T: yes
[02:33] <_sHaDe> n8 all
[02:33] <Drasla> bheung: that looks like it'll work.  thanks!
[02:33] <Tm_T> Gareth: what you mean?
[02:33] <Tm_T> Xenguy: yes
[02:34] <Xenguy> void^: OK, and can I write/run a batch file then?
[02:34] <Tm_T> yes
[02:34] <Xenguy> Tm_T: alright, tx
[02:34] <Gareth> just a framework for connecting to an irc server, parsing etc
[02:34] <Xenguy> void^ Tm_T I'll try this out then, tx again
[02:34] <Tm_T> Gareth: ah, client side
[02:34] <cafuego> Gareth: perl-irc probably
[02:34] <Gareth> awesome, thanks
[02:34] <void^> Xenguy: depends, freedos might have more features than the platform you want to run it on. best bet is to run the same dos flavour in dosemu, or possibly qemu, or vmware.
[02:35] <Tm_T> Gareth: yes, that's one
[02:35] <Thinkl00p> on the site for the new firefox howto it says "# First, /usr/bin/firefox" where do i do this?
[02:35] <Xenguy> void^: tx
[02:35] <Thinkl00p> says modify the symbolic link in /usr/bin ?
[02:35] <_jason> Thinkl00p: it should give you the commands to put in the terminal
[02:35] <HymnToLife> Thinkl00p> you should have the command you need to run just after
[02:36] <Cooner750> How well would Ubuntu make a good web server on a 1Ghz PIII w/ 256MB RAM?
[02:36] <_jason> Thinkl00p: the # signs mean it's a comment
[02:36] <Thinkl00p> yeah but where am i putting this? not in a file right? just into the command line?
[02:36] <cafuego> Cooner750: Just fine, as long as you don't need to serve millions of hits per hour.
[02:36] <yipe> wow, it's so quiet
[02:36] <_jason> Thinkl00p: yes
[02:36] <yipe> and there's SO many peopl
[02:36] <yipe> it's like a church...
[02:36] <cafuego> Cooner750: My intranet box is a P3/600 and it has no issues. (apart from being loud)
[02:36] <yipe> oh there we go
[02:37] <Tm_T> cafuego: loud HD?
[02:37] <jose__> hi
[02:37] <Toma-> havent seen u in a while cafuego :D
[02:38] <lgc> _jason, cafuego, who can I address to tell them there's a problem with the acroread install?
[02:38] <Tm_T> cafuego: I made my server fanless just to find out all noise come from HD ...
[02:38] <cafuego> Tm_T: loud everything <heh>
[02:38] <Tm_T> =)
[02:38] <_jason> !bug
[02:38] <ubotu> bugs are reported to https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bugs
[02:38] <cafuego> Tm_T: The HDDs are all fairly new and not too bad apart from at boot time.
[02:38] <Toma-> lgc: run "apt-cahce show <packagename>" and look for the Maintainer part
[02:38] <Tm_T> cafuego: my friend sleeps next to 4 rack servers, just imagine...
[02:38] <Toma-> errr apt-cache
[02:39] <cafuego> Tm_T: his choice...
[02:39] <HymnToLife> thins is the only good thing I found in being deaf, ou can run 4 computers in your bedromm without a problem :D
[02:39] <yipe> so um.... hi everybody, my name is yipe, and I'm a newb to linux and ubuntu
[02:39] <Tm_T> cafuego: indeed, server hall under repair
[02:39] <cafuego> yipe: You came to the right channel, then :-)
[02:39] <yipe> :) Good
[02:39] <LathropWells> How do you find out what version of SATA is used? I - II
[02:39] <[photon] > anyone ever used a shared key wep in ubuntu? is there anything special you need to do? My iwconfig says security mode restricted, but I am still wondering if that is the problem
[02:40] <cafuego> LathropWells: Start with 'lspci'
[02:40] <yipe> ummm, I want to learn command line stuff, but I have no clue where to start.... all I can do is move between directoies because I remember the cd command from when I was a little kid
[02:40] <_jason> ubotu: tell yipe about cli
[02:40] <jStefan> quick question, what's the equivalent to dos "vol" on linux (for fvat partitions) ?
[02:40] <yipe> can someone please kindly point me to a tutorial?
[02:40] <Drasla> one more question-- how do you indicate a ';' or '&' character in quotes?  it assumes I'm trying to end the line if I use either symbol.
[02:40] <HymnToLife> !tell yipe about cli
[02:40] <LathropWells> cafuego - Thanks.  (again. - grin)
[02:40] <NickGarvey> jStefan: whats vol do
[02:40] <Cooner750> cafuego: What internet connection do you have?
[02:40] <jStefan> change volume label
[02:40] <cafuego> LathropWells: See what the controller says it is.
[02:40] <void^> Drasla: \;
[02:40] <NsOmNiAc> when does the official release for Dapper come out ?
[02:41] <cafuego> Cooner750: 1500/256 DSL
[02:41] <HymnToLife> NsOmNiAc> June 1st
[02:41] <cafuego> Cooner750: Mya ctual hosting is done on a hosted box elsewhere, though.
[02:41] <NickGarvey> jStefan: you don't change volume labels.. I don't understand
[02:41] <NickGarvey> jStefan: linux has no volume labels
[02:41] <cafuego> NsOmNiAc: June 1.
[02:41] <NsOmNiAc> ok for some reason I thought it was April
[02:41] <Cooner750> Here I've got Road Runner, high-speed cable with a D-Link DI524 (junk) router. here with a Speedtest to Seattle I get roughly 3800kb/s Download, 385kb/s Upload
[02:41] <NsOmNiAc> guess I need to lay off the crack rock
[02:41] <Cooner750> How well will things load?
[02:41] <cafuego> NsOmNiAc: It used to be April 20, but a decision was made to delay release and fix up more stuff.
[02:42] <NickGarvey> NsOmNiAc: it was pushed back, google it for more info
[02:42] <NsOmNiAc> ahhh ok
[02:42] <jStefan> I have a dual boot system, and the vfat partition currently shows the label I had setup on windows
[02:42] <NsOmNiAc> actually I'm on the developer list just found the email
[02:42] <unbuntu> whats the off topic chat server?
[02:42] <HymnToLife> #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:42] <NickGarvey> jStefan: ah I see, you can just use mv.. but I don't know what that would do to your windows boot..
[02:42] <bheung> jStefan: http://www.lissot.net/partition/ext2fs/labels.html this might be useful
[02:44] <calx> does anyone know how to change the default mixer in the gnome volume control..
[02:44] <cafuego> calx: File -> Change device
[02:44] <tspier2> Gah
[02:44] <tspier2> cafuego beat me.
[02:45] <cafuego> Mit a pointy schtick!!
[02:45] <calx> yep.. whats happening tho is that i need the default volume to be PCM instead of Master or whatever it normally is
[02:45] <jStefan> bheung, didn't work, seems they are not compatible with vfat
[02:45] <LathropWells> cafuego - lol
[02:46] <cafuego> calx: Ah ok. I'm not sure where that lives.
[02:47] <IamEthos> how do I know what kernel I'm using?
[02:47] <cafuego> IamEthos: `uname -a'
[02:47] <NickGarvey> IamEthos: uname -a
[02:47] <Cooner750> What's the correct, speedeist way to run a webserver with Ubuntu? Should the thing run in a console instead of running X at the same time?
[02:47] <cafuego> Mit a pointy schtick!!
[02:48] <cafuego> Cooner750: it will help with ram availability, yes.
[02:48] <jStefan> i'm just trying to avoid booting into windows, just to do that...
[02:48] <mlowe> not finding gkrellm to install ?
[02:48] <IamEthos> so the 2.6.15 kernel has wifi built in?
[02:48] <IamEthos> *broadcom 43xx wifi?
[02:48] <cafuego> Cooner750: Also, if it's publicly accessible, you want to run as few services as possible, certainly not things it doesn't NEED to run (just for security sake)
[02:48] <cafuego> IamEthos: yes
[02:48] <cafuego> !bcm43xx
[02:48] <ubotu> To use your broadcom or airport extreme card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx for info and firmware.
[02:48] <yipe> wow, you guys just have questions lobbed at you left and right
[02:49] <cafuego> yipe: Yeh, most of them are the same over & ove,r so ubotu has memorised responses ;-)
[02:49] <yipe> cool
[02:49] <yipe> yeah he messaged me
[02:49] <Cooner750> It would be open only to the people that know the IP, obviously
[02:49] <yipe> and he did not pass my turing test:-P
[02:49] <cafuego> Cooner750: Well, and whoever portscanned you that day ;-)
[02:50] <cafuego> yipe: Oh, he's a retard, surely. <heh>
[02:50] <yipe> :) hehe
[02:50] <Cooner750> Well... I'm behind a router, so if only port 80 is forwarded shouldnt it be safe?
[02:50] <cafuego> but say idiot savant, perfect memory recall ;-)
[02:50] <jStefan> NickGarvey, how would moving help?
[02:50] <yipe> hehe
[02:50] <cafuego> Cooner750: Unless the router has a bug you don't know about...
[02:51] <void^> it's amazing how many people fire dumb scripts at random webserves on dialup lines :)
[02:51] <bosco> how do i figure out my mac address in ubuntu
[02:51] <Xenguy> void^ Tm_T Hrm, not too impressive so far - dosemu segfaults with a default installation, and that *after* I had to figure out I needed the freedos package manually installed separately :-/
[02:51] <cafuego> bosco: 'ifconfig'
[02:51] <bur[n] er> bosco: ifconfig -a
[02:51] <Cooner750> I'm about to go move the PIII back over next to the router and stuff and boot it up
[02:51] <bur[n] er> bosco: yeah, disregard the -a
[02:52] <Cooner750> it sits on the floor and the monitor is squeezed between two shelves
[02:52] <Multipel> Can somebody please help me with a problem?
[02:52] <HymnToLife> !helpme
[02:52] <ubotu> If you do not actually ask a question, we can not actually help you.
[02:53] <ukmh> hi all
[02:53] <Multipel> !helpme
[02:53] <ubotu> If you do not actually ask a question, we can not actually help you.
[02:53] <jStefan> maybe I should re-phrase the question
[02:53] <jStefan> how can I change the drive labels shown in "Places - Computer"
[02:53] <Multipel> I will, but I'm trying to do it, but my English is bad.
[02:54] <IamEthos> okay
[02:54] <IamEthos> the panel with my application menu seems to have crashed in KDE
[02:54] <_jason> Multipel: what is your native langauge?
[02:54] <HymnToLife> _jason> swedish
[02:54] <ukmh> can anyone help? i'm tryin to find & figure out how to install a codec pack on ubuntu.
[02:54] <HymnToLife> !se

[02:54] <cafuego> Multipel: Like 'Filesystem' ?
[02:54] <cafuego> eh, jStefan Like 'Filesystem' ?
[02:54] <bosco> how do i figure out my mac address in ubuntu
[02:54] <cafuego> Multipel: never mind
[02:54] <crimsun> bosco: ifconfig

[02:55] <ubotu> okay, HymnToLife
[02:55] <Multipel> cafuego: No. It's coming.
[02:55] <HymnToLife> _jason> right click rules :p
[02:55] <Multipel> How long does it take for you to extract files?
[02:55] <jStefan> cafuego, a vfat partition i have there, currently named "fatty"
[02:55] <cafuego> jStefan: Changing the partition label ought to do it.
[02:55] <tanlaan> hey all
[02:55] <Multipel> Please tell your filesystem, how big the file is, how long it took.
[02:56] <tanlaan> i need some software suggestions
[02:56] <tanlaan> i want a good media player
[02:56] <tanlaan> and i need some image organizing software
[02:56] <yipe> I use amarok, if that helps
[02:56] <HymnToLife> !tell tanlaan about vlc
[02:56] <cafuego> tanlaan: vlc or mplayer seem nice.
[02:56] <jStefan> I tried right-clicking and using rename, but that didnt work
[02:56] <yipe> << wants to be helpful
[02:56] <tanlaan> like i want to make a digital "blackbook" on graffiti
[02:56] <cafuego> tanlaan: image organising...? photos? Try f-spot.
[02:56] <tanlaan> so basically make a collection of photos
[02:57] <Multipel> yipe: Try to help me. ;-)
[02:57] <jStefan> cafuego, can you detail on that?
[02:57] <Magnus`> Hey
[02:57] <yipe> hehe, I'm no good, and I took arabic, not swedish, but I'd love to try
[02:57] <cafuego> jStefan: No, you need to use the admin tools to edit the disk label.
[02:57] <Magnus`> Does anyone know why a liveCD wouldnt work?
[02:57] <tanlaan> ok
[02:57] <cafuego> Something like 'tune2fs' but for vfat.
[02:57] <Magnus`> it stops halfway through
[02:57] <tanlaan> f-spot and vlc
[02:58] <yipe> probably burned badly
[02:58] <Magnus`> Mmm I guess ill use a different live cd
[02:58] <cafuego> yipe: woo!
[02:58] <Magnus`> is there a guide to setting up a dualboot with xp?
[02:58] <jStefan> would that tool be included in dapper? or must I find it in synaptics?
[02:58] <yipe> just burn another copy
[02:58] <Multipel> I'm having problem to choose filessystem. I need to know if XFS is fast to extract big files.
[02:58] <yipe> I had to burn a second copy when I used the kubuntu live CD
[02:58] <bimberi> !dualboot
[02:58] <ubotu> for wintel https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WindowsDualBootHowTo :for the Mac https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot
[02:59] <Magnus`> thanks
[02:59] <cafuego> Magnus`: Make sure you have some unpartitioned space (4+ GB) unless you are okay to use the Ubuntu resizer, then simply boot the install CD and go.
[02:59] <Magnus`> os[WinXP Professional 5.1 Service Pack 2 (Build #2600), x86]  cpu[1 x Intel Celeron @ 2.39 GHz]  mem[Physical: 248 MB, 27 MB Free]  disk[Total: 74.52 GB, 55.87 GB Free]  video[nVidia GeForce4 MX 4000]  sound[Realtek AC97 Audio]
[02:59] <Magnus`> Yeah I know my specs suck
[02:59] <cafuego> spammage!
[02:59] <Magnus`> would that be alright to run a dual boot?
[02:59] <cafuego> Magnus`: yep
[02:59] <Magnus`> great
[02:59] <Magnus`> thanks
[03:00] <cafuego> Magnus`: Step one: defrag
[03:00] <yipe> I'm pretty happy with myself, I never did a dual boot system, I was able to switch completely and still do everything I used to do ^_^
[03:00] <NickGarvey> my esc key has failed, and I can't save my vi document, how could I get around this?
[03:01] <jStefan> would ALT codes do the trick?
[03:01] <NickGarvey> I can't get out of text insert
[03:01] <hyphenated> my boss bought me a copy of World of Warcraft and forced me to install windows. until that point I'd never done dual-boots :-)
[03:01] <tanlaan> im off
[03:01] <tanlaan> bye all
[03:01] <NickGarvey> let me try
[03:01] <bimberi> NickGarvey: <ctrl>[
[03:01] <lgc> Toma-, thanks. I just wrote to the mantainer.
[03:02] <calx> im at work right now.. ssh into my home machine runnin bitchx.. wee
[03:02] <Multipel> How many runs Linux right now at this very moment?
[03:02] <Multipel> *Who
[03:02] <yipe> ME!:)
[03:02] <hyphenated> NickGarvey: your esc key is physically broken, or just not working for some weird reason?
[03:02] <NickGarvey> bimberi: thank you :)
[03:02] <NickGarvey> hyphenated: my keyboard has been acting up..
[03:02] <bimberi> NickGarvey: np :)
[03:02] <revAndrew> hey, I just got my cousins a64 machine and I'm tinkering with it and it takes like twice as long to launch the ubuntu live cd than my amd 2100 (then agian his currently doens't have a harddrive in it). Should I be worried?
[03:02] <NickGarvey> I don't think it is broken
[03:02] <Multipel> yipe: Could you help me with a simple question before I get mad?
[03:02] <jStefan> i'm happy i switched my 2nd PC to dapper
[03:03] <NickGarvey> ever sense HP fixed it keys will stop working until reboot
[03:03] <yipe> I can try, but please don't get mad
[03:03] <yipe> I'm no good
[03:03] <NickGarvey> running windows right now
[03:03] <IdleOne> Multipel, this is a Ubuntu LINUX support channel I would say 99.9%
[03:03] <Multipel> yipe: I get mad on myself. Here it goes.
[03:03] <JoeMorris> hummmmmm
[03:03] <NxNxMox> where would i go for help with DVD burning
[03:03] <IdleOne> !dvd
[03:03] <ubotu> DVD playing is possible in ubuntu. You may need libdvdcss2, which is available via http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages (section extras)
[03:03] <Multipel> yipe: How long does it take for you to extract 4 GB?
[03:03] <NxNxMox> because i want to burn this dvd but i can't
[03:04] <NxNxMox> because the disk is protected
[03:04] <hyphenated> NxNxMox: what's stopping you?
[03:04] <bur[n] er> NxNxMox: using gnomebaker?
[03:04] <venin> audio codec family in mplayer, what should it be set to?
[03:04] <Multipel> IdleOne: But nobody sees my question.
[03:04] <NxNxMox> Oh nothing is wrong system wise
[03:04] <bur[n] er> NxNxMox: aww... you want to copy a dvd... that's different ;)
[03:04] <NickGarvey> Multipel: depends on your processor.. I'd think 10 minutes max..
[03:04] <NxNxMox> Yes
[03:04] <zido> what would be a good program in Linux for making a gif-animation from a series of PNG/JPG pictures?
[03:04] <yipe> gee, I have no idea:(
[03:04] <yipe> sorry
[03:04] <NxNxMox> is there a channel here on freenode
[03:04] <_jason> Multipel: depends on compression algorithm, system specs...
[03:04] <IdleOne> Multipel, probably because it isnt support related...for offtopic discussion you can go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:05] <bur[n] er> NxNxMox: I'm not sure how to do a directo copy... but I use Thoggen to rip DVDs
[03:05] <gepatino> zido: gimp
[03:05] <bur[n] er> zido: gimp!
[03:05] <NickGarvey> zido: gimp
[03:05] <zido> ah, so gimp _can_ do it
[03:05] <bur[n] er> zido: indeed
[03:05] <gepatino> zido: put each frame on a layer, save it as gif, and you have an animated gif
[03:05] <Multipel> I have encrypted my harddrive, but I can't choose filesystem.
[03:06] <zido> gepatino: lol, freeky :)
[03:06] <Multipel> And I want to know if it matters if I choose XFS or EXT3 with -m 0.
[03:06] <gepatino> ?
[03:07] <AngolaHacker> ?
[03:07] <Multipel> _jason: My system is good, and the harddrive aswell but I have encrypted my harddrive and I just want to know if XFS is slower than EXT3 when it comes to extracting files.
[03:08] <eye_am_yipe> :( did I do something wrong? why was I kicked?
[03:08] <hyphenated> Multipel: try it and see
[03:08] <confuzed> Whats the biggiest difference between windows and linux
[03:08] <eye_am_yipe> could someone tell me why I was kicked off? -_-
[03:08] <_jason> !free
[03:08] <ubotu> well, free is Free as in free software = free as in freedom. For more info visit:http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
[03:09] <_jason> confuzed: that ^
[03:09] <vars> open source
[03:09] <hyphenated> confuzed: all of the differences are big
[03:09] <eye_am_yipe> stability!
[03:09] <eye_am_yipe> security!
[03:09] <eye_am_yipe> and WAY fewer virus's!
[03:09] <confuzed> and we can modify the OS?
[03:09] <hyphenated> confuzed: to your heart's content
[03:09] <eye_am_yipe> yes
[03:09] <IdleOne> confuzed, any which way you please :)
[03:09] <NickGarvey> confuzed: for a newb explaination www.whylinuxisbetter.net
[03:10] <confuzed> lol
[03:10] <confuzed> thanks
[03:10] <eye_am_yipe> hehe, I'm gonna go look at that too
[03:10] <bimberi> eye_am_yipe: 'yipe' is still connected
[03:10] <bur[n] er> ease of use :)  apt-get update && apt-get upgrade == lot easier than going to winamp.com otherapp.com blah.com and downloading seperately
[03:10] <eye_am_yipe> but it said I was "disconnected by peer"
[03:10] <IdleOne> eye_am_yipe, that peer guy is mean
[03:10] <eye_am_yipe> that means someone kicked me off doesn't it?
[03:10] <hyphenated> bur[n] er: or having an auto-update tool built into every program (which may or may not send other stuff when checking for updates)
[03:10] <IdleOne> he kicks for no reason
[03:11] <reiki> that peer guy disconnecting folks again?  tsk tsk
[03:11] <Multipel> hyphenated: It's hard to try it. It takes time to try.
[03:11] <cafuego> eye_am_yipe: No, just a random disconnect; it happens.
[03:11] <hyphenated> eye_am_yipe: it means your network connection dropped
[03:11] <eye_am_yipe> okay
[03:11] <jStefan2> peer = irc god
[03:11] <eye_am_yipe> weird
[03:11] <cafuego> eye_am_yipe: 'yipe' will disconnect in a little while.
[03:11] <vars> can the flash player play the newest flashes in the world?
[03:11] <hyphenated> Multipel: indeed. but your chances of finding someone who's done a comparative analysis of both and has some stats to give you is very small
[03:11] <cafuego> eye_am_yipe: Then you can rename yourself and type '/msg nickserv help register' :-)
[03:11] <bur[n] er> vars: no... flash 8 was only made for windoze :\
[03:12] <eye_am_yipe> multipel, I feel doubtful that there will be a big noticable difference
[03:12] <hyphenated> according to rumours about 4 months ago, they're going to release flash 8.5 for win, linux and mac all in one hit
[03:12] <eye_am_yipe> I got kicked out of a linux chan yesterday for saying windoze:(
[03:12] <hyphenated> eye_am_yipe: by peer?
[03:12] <eye_am_yipe> yes
[03:12] <eye_am_yipe> oh, no
[03:12] <eye_am_yipe> no I was really kicked
[03:13] <hyphenated> by who?
[03:13] <reiki> seems a bit elitist
[03:13] <johnny3d> hi.  I have no sound in ubuntu since a recent motherboard switch and ubuntu reinstall
[03:13] <vars> eye_am_yipe, what did you say?
[03:13] <eye_am_yipe> the guy messaged me and he was like "You shouldn't be using words like that when you've only used linux for a week"
[03:13] <hyphenated> eye_am_yipe: well, that's true enough :-)
[03:13] <Multipel> hyphenated: But you can tell from your own experience how long it takes.
[03:13] <DewDude> i'm running ubuntu on an imac..and i disabled GDM..is there a way i can make it turn the screen off? i've been looking at the console login screen for a few minutes now
[03:14] <johnny3d> DewDude, install kubuntu-desktop.  :P
[03:14] <cafuego> DewDude: The backlight you mean?
[03:14] <DewDude> no...the monitor
[03:14] <jStefan2> ...trying with mtools, brb
[03:14] <johnny3d> j/k DewDude
[03:14] <DewDude> i said imac..not ibook
[03:14] <cafuego> DewDude: Making the screen go black means the pixels are *ON*
[03:14] <hyphenated> Multipel: sure. but since the number of people that care about encrypting their filesystems is very small, you've only got a tiny chance that you'll find someone here that knows
[03:14] <GuardianAtomos> Quick question. When is Dapper Drake projected to be released as non-beta?
[03:14] <DewDude> ...right
[03:14] <DewDude> i know that
[03:14] <Multipel> eye_am_yipe: I don't like that EXT3 takes 3.1 GB and I don't want to use -m 0 cause it might be problem. So I'm looking for somethingelse.
[03:14] <hyphenated> GuardianAtomos: june
[03:14] <bur[n] er> GuardianAtomos: june
[03:14] <cafuego> DewDude: Uh, all current imacs are LCDs ;-)
[03:15] <DewDude> this is an old imac
[03:15] <DewDude> 400mhz imac DV
[03:15] <DewDude> it's got a CRT
[03:15] <eye_am_yipe> mulitpel, you clearly know more than me, I wouldn't even know how to change it
[03:15] <cafuego> DewDude: Ah ok, the screen should blank automagically.
[03:15] <DewDude> after how long?
[03:15] <GuardianAtomos> hyphenated/bur[n] er, thanks.
[03:15] <cafuego> DewDude: 10 or so mins?
[03:15] <jadaz87> hello does anyone know of something which is like Flash MX for ubuntu?
[03:15] <DewDude> ok
[03:15] <eye_am_yipe> I'm just watching 'cause I want to learn
[03:15] <GuardianAtomos> I should hold off on the beta in that case?
[03:15] <DewDude> it's been 15
[03:15] <Multipel> hyphenated: But I just would like to compare.
[03:15] <cafuego> DewDude: That's tweakable.
[03:15] <DewDude> or so
[03:15] <cafuego> though I forget the command
[03:15] <bur[n] er> jadaz87: no such animal... you can run flashMX through crossover office
[03:15] <johnny3d> still no sound in ubuntu.  I can barely hear you guys.
[03:16] <DewDude> yeah, well, what i did was i wanted runlevel 3..but couldn't figure out how to change it..so i took the executable attrib off the gdm script
[03:16] <hyphenated> Multipel: nobody will stop you from doing that, but it'll be _you_ who does it
[03:16] <cafuego> johnny3d: IS THIS BETTER AT ALL?
[03:16] <vars> how can i download firefox for windows if i am using ubuntu?
[03:16] <bur[n] er> jadaz87: possibly doable using wine too, though I have no idea...
[03:16] <johnny3d> cafuego, a little.  :P
[03:16] <sx_> how can i get a c-compiler for my ubuntu distribution? it seems i cant install gcc as it needs "cc"...? What can i do?
[03:16] <DewDude> because since i'm making it a "server" i don't want it loading X unless i tell it to.
[03:16] <bur[n] er> vars: ftp.mozilla.org
[03:16] <DewDude> i'll leave it go and see what it does.
[03:16] <jadaz87> bur[n] er oh ok thanks
[03:16] <cafuego> DewDude: 'sudo apt-get remove gdm'
[03:16] <hyphenated> sx_: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[03:16] <Multipel> eye_am_yipe: You can change it when you formate it. You might do even afterwards, but I'm not sure. -m 0 is for not reservations for sudo.
[03:16] <cafuego> DewDude: or 'sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove'
[03:17] <johnny3d> what?
[03:17] <DewDude> ahh
[03:17] <DewDude> someone else told me a way to do it earlier
[03:17] <sx_> thank you hyphenated
[03:17] <DewDude> but, like i said, i can still look on the floor and see the login screen
[03:17] <GuardianAtomos> MySQL 5 isn't listed as a possible package in Synaptic...could I just go ahead and install it from MySQL's site?
[03:17] <GuardianAtomos> Or is it generally not good to install non-Synaptic packages
[03:17] <GuardianAtomos> ?
[03:18] <cafuego> GuardianAtomos: Very bad idea.
[03:18] <bur[n] er> GuardianAtomos: it's in apt... look harder ;)
[03:18] <cafuego> GuardianAtomos: mysql 5 is in dapper, I'm not certain if there are backports yet.
[03:18] <cafuego> !info mysql-server-5.0
[03:18] <GuardianAtomos> bur[n] er, Heh...really?
[03:18] <jStefan2> GuardianAtomos: you need to add repositories
[03:18] <vars> no really how can i download firefox for windows if i am using ubuntu?
[03:18] <GuardianAtomos> jStefan, Any clue which ones?
[03:18] <jadaz87> vars download.com
[03:18] <jStefan2> let's see...
[03:19] <johnny3d> ok, ok.  I'll wait while you guys help others first.
[03:19] <bur[n] er> GuardianAtomos: mysql-server is the package name
[03:19] <jStefan2> you are using breezy?
[03:19] <Multipel> hyphenated: What I'm looking for is "benchmarking" for people entracting files. I would like to know about the files, how long time, the harddrive and the filesystem. That's enough with information.
[03:19] <bur[n] er> GuardianAtomos: prolly universe
[03:19] <bur[n] er> !universe
[03:19] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
[03:19] <confuzed> just download firefox as if you were on windows an run it through wine
[03:19] <hyphenated> Multipel: and you're looking on IRC for that? have you tried google?
[03:20] <leandro_> hi...
[03:20] <CaNsA> hey peeps
[03:20] <GuardianAtomos> Hm. I added the Universe and Multiverse repositories...but I don't see MySQL 5.0 in there still...lemme look again.
[03:20] <CaNsA> sappenin?
[03:20] <Multipel> hyphenated: Yes I have without any success.
[03:20] <NickGarvey> GuardianAtomos: apt-cache search mysql | grep server
[03:20] <bur[n] er> GuardianAtomos: update?
[03:20] <Multipel> GuardianAtomos: Did you remove # before the adress?
[03:20] <jStefan2> seems MySQL 5.0 is only available on dapper
[03:20] <CaNsA> i got a drive that needs to be converted into a linux filesystem, while being run in windows
[03:21] <CaNsA> if u catch my drift
[03:21] <NickGarvey> CaNsA: I don't.. what do yo umean
[03:21] <hyphenated> Multipel: I wish you the best of luck, but IRC in general is a hopeless place to look for that kind of thing
[03:21] <leandro_> guys.. i'm REALLY recent user of Linux... i need a quick help to install a software... could someone help me??
[03:21] <jStefan2> http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?searchon=names&version=all&exact=1&keywords=mysql-server
[03:21] <Multipel> GuardianAtomos: Don't forget to run sudo apt-get update aswell.
[03:21] <CaNsA> k
[03:21] <NickGarvey> leandro_: yeah what software
[03:21] <GuardianAtomos> Okay, lemme try all that.
[03:21] <_jason> leandro_: what software?
[03:21] <NickGarvey> CaNsA: what did you mean?
[03:22] <CaNsA> my comp is runing winxp, i have a hd in it that needs to be converted into a linux FS. but i cant turnt he compter off until it is done
[03:22] <leandro_> dont laught (too much) but, i'm only trying to install the firefox.. (new version)... :'(
[03:22] <jStefan2> you will need to check the backports
[03:22] <cafuego> Why not?
[03:22] <NickGarvey> !tell leandro_ about ff1.5
[03:22] <CaNsA> iits all part of the process of cnverting my server into a linux server
[03:22] <Multipel> hyphenated: But could you tell me about your extractingspeed? Say 500 MB at most? The time, your filesystem, cache and rpm on the harddrive.
[03:22] <bur[n] er> CaNsA: u need a windows partitioning tool that supports linux filesystems then
[03:22] <CaNsA> the drives are all ntfs, and need changing
[03:22] <hyphenated> Multipel: nope
[03:22] <Zaden> I need some help installing some packages on ubuntu on a machine that does not have access to the internet
[03:22] <bur[n] er> CaNsA: why not boot a livecd and resize the ntfs and make them linxu partitions
[03:22] <CaNsA> good point
[03:23] <bur[n] er> Zaden: download the debs
[03:23] <NickGarvey> CaNsA: that sounds ugly, how much of your hard drive are you using total?
[03:23] <Zaden> Got a site for a decent selection?
[03:23] <cafuego> CaNsA: The Ubuntu install CD can do that.
[03:23] <CaNsA> my 160gig is nearly full
[03:23] <NickGarvey> cafuego: wouldn't that clear the data though?
[03:23] <jStefan> the prettiest way is to get a cheap 2nd hard drive
[03:23] <bur[n] er> CaNsA: the installer should be able to resize partitions too... not sure about breezy i guess, but dapper should
[03:23] <revAndrew> anyone know how I can delete a linux swap partition on a linux install I'm trying to wipe out (using a livecd and GParted)? It won't let me
[03:23] <sx_> how can i view packages available for download through apt-get ?
[03:23] <cafuego> NickGarvey: resizing? no. Unless you messed it up.
[03:23] <bur[n] er> revAndrew: unmount it
[03:23] <CaNsA> im so nevrvous about it, i dont wanna loose all my data
[03:24] <cafuego> revAndrew: start with 'swapoff -a'
[03:24] <bur[n] er> CaNsA: back it up then
[03:24] <NickGarvey> cafuego: I thought he wanted to format it
[03:24] <Zaden> I need packages for multimedia, some dev tools, and more robust cd writing software
[03:24] <CaNsA> lol
[03:24] <NickGarvey> CaNsA: back back back it up
[03:24] <bur[n] er> CaNsA: defragment first too
[03:24] <jStefan> if you want to be safe, use Backups, or work on a new clean drive
[03:24] <CaNsA> to where i aint got anywhere otherwise i already would have
[03:24] <johnny3d> quick, how to change permissions on dev/snd and dev/dsp?
[03:24] <Multipel> hyphenated: Why? It's a simple thing? Take 50 MB or 100 MB. I just need to know casue a filesystem is better on some things and suck with another thing.
[03:24] <GuardianAtomos> Yeah, even with the updated apt-get listings, mysql-4.1 is all I see.
[03:24] <NickGarvey> CaNsA: blank cds.. anything
[03:24] <leandro_> i already downloaded ff1.5, what do next??
[03:24] <GuardianAtomos> Guess I'll have to risk installing it manually.
[03:24] <jStefan> GuardianAtomos, MySQL 5.0 is only available for dapper
[03:24] <NickGarvey> !tell leandro_ about ff1.5
[03:25] <_jason> leandro_: did you read the private message from ubotu?
[03:25] <GuardianAtomos> jStefan, Aight...I'll have to go at it manually in that case.
[03:25] <CaNsA> im gonna have to bully my mate into lending me his 200gig drive i guess
[03:25] <jStefan> you would need to check the backports repositories, or install from the MySQL website
[03:25] <NickGarvey> leandro_: you get it again just incase you missed it the first time
[03:25] <GuardianAtomos> I need 5.0.
[03:25] <bur[n] er> GuardianAtomos: good luck :\  I'd just go to dapper ;)
[03:25] <vircuser> can someone help a newb with a video problem? i would appreciate it...
[03:25] <NickGarvey> mysql 4.1 is the breezy one right?
[03:25] <jadaz87> CaNsA that is the same roblem i had you are going to have to use Partition magic and convert the driv es to fat32
[03:25] <GuardianAtomos> bur[n] er, Think so? I can try that. What's the apt-get command to update to Dapper?
[03:25] <reiki> leandro keep using your surrent firefox. <IP_ADDRESS> has a problem where it grabs all CPU ... once in a while... when you aren't looking... should be fixed in <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:25] <NickGarvey> !justask
[03:25] <ubotu> Ask your question and we'll try to answer it.
[03:26] <CaNsA> i got PM, but i want a linux FS not fat32
[03:26] <johnny3d> don't eat red pistachios when typing
[03:26] <leandro_> NickGarvey: yes, i got it, but how install it??
[03:26] <bur[n] er> !dapper
[03:26] <ubotu> Dapper Drake will be the next release of Ubuntu - due June 1 (see: http://tinyurl.com/qyrkq). Join channel #ubuntu+1 for discussion :)
[03:26] <jStefan> dapper looks very good so far
[03:26] <NickGarvey> leandro_: read the page
[03:26] <vircuser> i installed and my screen resolution was at 1024 x 768, i shutdown, and now it's at 640 x 480.  I can't get it back at 1024 x 768 - not an option
[03:26] <GuardianAtomos> Oops. Sorry...
[03:26] <eye_am_yipe> lol, don't eat red pistachios while doing ANYTHING except eating red pistachios
[03:26] <NickGarvey> must avoid saying rtfm... (twitch)
[03:26] <eye_am_yipe> I ruined a nice white dress shirt with those:(
[03:26] <jadaz87> CaNsA unless you want to format 160GB of content to oblivion that is really your only choice :-\
[03:27] <bur[n] er> GuardianAtomos: i sent you a msg
[03:27] <vircuser> nick - at the wiki?
[03:27] <eye_am_yipe> VIRCUSER!
[03:27] <Zaden> bur[n] er: Mind if I pm you to get some more detailed help?
[03:27] <eye_am_yipe> I had the same problem
[03:27] <kark> yaa I got dapper installed
[03:27] <CaNsA> agreed jadaz87
[03:27] <eye_am_yipe> can I PM you? I think I can help
[03:27] <GuardianAtomos> bur[n] er, Thanks.
[03:27] <NickGarvey> vircuser: heh that wasn't at you
[03:27] <confuzed> where can I get desktop mods for unbuntu
[03:27] <bur[n] er> CaNsA: PM == partition magic?  don't use that if you value your data
[03:27] <NickGarvey> !tell confuzed about themes
[03:27] <bur[n] er> confuzed: ?
[03:27] <leandro_> i'm reading the page, for now, thank you! :)
[03:27] <bur[n] er> GuardianAtomos: no problem
[03:27] <jadaz87> bur[n] er what is wrong with partition magic?
[03:27] <NickGarvey> leandro_: :)
[03:27] <_jason> ubotu: tell confuzed about themes
[03:27] <CaNsA> kkk bur[n] er
[03:28] <CaNsA> erm..
[03:28] <bur[n] er> Zaden: i'm not stoppin ya ;)
[03:28] <CaNsA> kk*
[03:28] <Multipel> Is another person willing to help me? I still didn't get any answers? Which filesystem have the best performance on file extracting?
[03:28] <jStefan> GuardianAtomos: i think your options are: going with dapper, install from mysql website
[03:28] <NickGarvey> Multipel: wrong channel.. thats not support..
[03:28] <GuardianAtomos> jStefan, I'll go with Dapper. :)
[03:28] <_jason> Multipel: that question definitely sounds like a thing to ask google
[03:28] <NickGarvey> Multipel: I think I would google it if no one helps in channels
[03:28] <NickGarvey> bah everyone has faster fingers than me today
[03:28] <jStefan> just note it might be easier to go back, with the mysql website option
[03:28] <jadaz87> bur[n] er we are talking about converting filesystems which iirc none of those can do
[03:29] <bur[n] er> jadaz87: paragon can
[03:29] <jadaz87> bur[n] er ntfs to fat32?
[03:29] <Multipel> NickGarvey: That's a support question cause I need to know. I have encrypted my harddrive, know I need to know if XFS is quick.
[03:29] <GuardianAtomos> jStefan, Yeah, I realize that. But, I just installed Ubuntu on this system, so if I completely botch everything, that's fine with me.
[03:29] <eye_am_yipe> if you're trying to do something like say... edit xorg.conf, how do you switch to being the root user?
[03:29] <YellowTeeth> anyone know how i can watch avi files?
[03:29] <bur[n] er> jadaz87: those specifically I don't know, but resizing & moving sounds more foolproof
[03:29] <shane__> !glxgears
[03:29] <ubotu> To display the FPS type "glxgears -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark"
[03:29] <jadaz87> !vlc
[03:29] <ubotu> somebody said vlc was a video/audio player that supports almost everything - See http://www.videolan.org/ for more information (VLC is in the universe repository)
[03:29] <jStefan> ok, there are a lot of guides for making the upgrade
[03:29] <Multipel> _jason: Google can give me the answer. I tried for atleast an hour.
[03:29] <bur[n] er> YellowTeeth: get codecs
[03:30] <bur[n] er> !w32codecs
[03:30] <ubotu> from memory, w32codecs is a compilation of binary win32 A/V codecs for many popular proprietary formats not currently supported by free implementations under linux. See http://tinyurl.com/e4a5s to install
[03:30] <_jason> Multipel: k
[03:30] <eye_am_yipe> YellowTeeth: install the proper codecs, instructions are on the www.ubuntu.com wiki page
[03:30] <vge> eye_am_yipe: sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:30] <jadaz87> bur[n] er his drive is nearly full it whould take a pain stakingly long time to resize a partion 100mb copy stuff over and keep doing that
[03:30] <jadaz87> bur[n] er :-\
[03:30] <eye_am_yipe> can I substitute gedit for vi?
[03:31] <kark> yes
