[07:03] <arrenlex> corevette: Yeah, there's aero, and you can run it in a virtual mach... oh, wait.
[07:03] <arrenlex> ubunt1: I just told you why.
[07:03] <cfedde> TJ_: most of the time the speekers turn off when the headphone is in.  A mechanical switch.  Sounds like your lappy has a special feature.

[07:05] <cables> !sound | tony__, see if this helps
[07:05] <ubotu> tony__, see if this helps: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[07:05] <geeksauce> arrenlex, it was just some settings i had to tweak.  it's working real smoothly now :D
[07:05] <ubunt1> arrenlex why he need to ignore me.I install it and do you know what happend
[07:05] <arrenlex> corevette: Never heard of ubuntu ultimate. What's what?
[07:05] <slyfox> arrenlex: wait I was look at the codecs & demuxer section all this time. What do I set in tehre ?
[07:05] <arrenlex> geeksauce: Really? Good to hear! What was it?
[07:05] <tony__> yeah, i'm getting no sound. i used to be only have one application with sound. but i was messing around and now i got nothing. alsamixer will not open

[07:07] <slyfox> arrenlex: What do I do about this error? Reuqested audi codec family [mp3]  (afm=mp3lib) not availabel.  If so, it appears that mp3lib was not compiled in it. Choose another codec for mp3 decoding, like libmad. I have no idea what the screen looks like; never used the mplayer gui.
[07:09] <Nate57> am I passing as a well-meaning newbie?
[07:09] <GaiaX11> slyfox: do you get sound with amarok? Normally it try to automatically download the codecs

[07:10] <Demolitio> having troubles getting my hauppage tv tuner to work.... installed the itv drivers, tested the device in mplayer and it captured video quite nicely.... but i cant get it to work in kdetv, xine, or even tvtime. in tvtime it crash-restarts my computer. help anyone?
[07:10] <geeksauce> arrenlex, haha i see
[07:10] <Nate57> well i was asking a question about my wireless card.  I installed the driver with ndiswrapper and set it up according to a tutorial i found on the ubuntu wiki, and now I get 0% connection
[07:10] <slyfox> GaiaX11: I want mplay to function without giving me this error all the time: Reuqested audi codec family [mp3]  (afm=mp3lib) not availabel. Enable it at compilation
[07:11] <the-king> hey guys
[07:11] <GaiaX11> slyfox: how did you install mplayer?
[07:11] <arrenlex> Nate57: Your best bet for debugging is probably the ubuntu forums, but if your card isn't supported by ndiswrapper, you're probably out of luck with running it on ubuntu, unfortunately.
[07:11] <slyfox> GaiaX11: through package manager
[07:11] <GaiaX11> slyfox: with apt-get?
[07:11] <the-king> how would I change my kernel to 2.6.8-2-386?
[07:11] <arrenlex> Nate57: Try looking for it on the hardware list
[07:11] <AlleyKat> (is it even ok for me to ask again?)

[07:12] <the-king> I need a driver for a winmodem
[07:12] <arrenlex> the-king: The -386 kernels are obsolete and used as a fallback. For a standard computer, you want the -generic kernel instead.
[07:12] <GaiaX11> slyfox: purge it and install again to see what happens
[07:12] <Nate57> arrenlex: the funny thing is that I found a script somebody wrote that is supposed to install the exact card I have

[07:14] <slyfox> GaiaX11: what does -fr mean ?
[07:14] <AlleyKat> I've downloaded ubuntu 6.10 but... all my burn programs claim the image is too large for a cd have I got something invalid perhaps? Should I d/l again?
[07:14] <geeksauce> arrenlex, one more question... are there any more window decorations?  there's only one and it's really bland, moreso than just gnome
[07:14] <arrenlex> geeksauce: There's lots. It's in the beryl options iirc. Look around the diamond's right-click menu.

[07:15] <neighborlee> is t he nvidia problem still not fixed..??.out of box 2.6.17-10 is the kernel, yet adding nvidia-glx wont work as its expecting 2.6.17-11..so should I then upgrade to that kernel , reboot and redo nvidia-glx ??
[07:15] <arrenlex> slyfox: recursive, force
[07:15] <bula> i keep running across this when im trying to find ubuntu for amd64.  "64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop CD"  i think thats just the tester right?

[07:16] <slyfox> GaiaX11: I think I jsut need to set the right codec in the codecs section for audio ?
[07:16] <Myrtti> Demolitio: we heard you the first time, nobody is answering because nobody knows the answer or people knowing it aren't here. have you tried the forums yet?
[07:16] <arrenlex> geeksauce: Found it. Emerald theme manager in the diamond menu.
[07:16] <Demolitio> @Myrtti sorry for spamming :9
[07:16] <GaiaX11> slyfox: Have you looked in ubuntu codecs?
[07:17] <GaiaX11> bula: wait
[07:17] <slyfox> GaiaX11: I think I have all of them isntaleld
[07:17] <Demolitio> tried going through the forums.... but didnt come to any conclusions.

[07:21] <tehxed> anyone have an issue with Beryl where.. when you select the theme, reload the window decorator.. and it still looks the same?
[07:21] <maxx18> is anyone else having problems reloading packages from the repos?
[07:21] <GaiaX11> slyfox: have a look in this lib in synaptic = mpeglib
[07:21] <AlleyKat> ok, thanks for no help :( maybe I should go find a distro more beginner friendly.. or where specs at least match description
[07:22] <n2diy> AlleyKat: good luck finding a more user friendly distro.
[07:23] <tony__> arrenlex, it sasy alsa is shtigging do and then setting up alsa . does that mean its been rest
[07:23] <Banthaman> hello
[07:23] <AlleyKat> well I'll bet i can find one which can actually fit on the cds
[07:23] <Eyra> hi
[07:23] <arrenlex> tony__: What?
[07:23] <StoneNote> AlleyKat, make sure it's a blank cd
[07:23] <AlleyKat> lol
[07:23] <Banthaman> just a sec I cant see my type
[07:24] <slyfox> GaiaX11: installing
[07:24] <AlleyKat> 711 mb iso, 702 mb on a 80-minute cd (yes its blank)
[07:24] <n2diy> AlleyKat: ok, I remember seeing your original question now. I sounds like your burner software isn't configured to play with your CDs?
[07:24] <tony__>  * Shutting down ALSA...                                                 [ ok ]
[07:24] <tony__>  * Setting up ALSA...
[07:24] <geeksauce> arrenlex, hmm i didn't have subversion installed so i think that's why i wasn't able to fetch themes.  installing subversion..
[07:24] <arrenlex> (23:18:33) tony__: ok, wait how do i reload all alsa sound modules
[07:24] <arrenlex> tony__: That did it.
[07:24] <Eyra> um... i'm having trouble with system > administration > networking
[07:24] <arrenlex> geeksauce: Subversion is a version revisioning system, like cvs. It has nothing to do with beryl or themes.
[07:25] <bulmer> what is the problem Eyra?
[07:25] <AlleyKat> has always worked fine, and if I had any proper quality cds I wouldn't hesitate to just overburn
[07:25] <Eyra> it wont work
[07:25] <Eyra> it crashes on startup
[07:25] <StoneNote> AlleyKat, and you are burning an image, not a data disc yes?
[07:25] <Eyra> i get the bugbuddy thing
[07:25] <bulmer> Eyra prefix with the nick when you respond pls
[07:25] <Eyra> bulmer: ok
[07:25] <geeksauce> arrenlex, "you need subversion package installed to use this feature"
[07:26] <AlleyKat> but pretty silly to require overburn... yes ofcourse, a cd with an iso file on it won't boot much :)
[07:26] <bula> ok i found this message on the ubuntu site, "If you want to keep Ubuntu permanently, there is an easy installer right on the DesktopCD"   i have that cd burned and i liked the testing mode but i cant figgure out where on the cd i go to do the full install =(
[07:26] <Eyra> bulmer would the bug file thing help?
[07:26] <tony__> does that mean its good
[07:26] <tony__> awesome should i open a sound program
[07:26] <tony__> should i restart the the compute
[07:26] <bulmer> Eyra im not familiar with the bug file, whats exactly you want done and what has happened so far?
[07:26] <slyfox> GaiaX11: I jsut selected Fmpeg codec for audio and it seems to go away
[07:27] <geeksauce> arrenlex, installed subversion and was able to fetch themes
[07:27] <Eyra> bulmer well, it was woking one day
[07:27] <Eyra> bulmer than it just stopped working
[07:27] <GaiaX11> bula: Use the alternate cd
[07:27] <Banthaman> its been so long sence I used mirc I forgot how to set stuff up
[07:27] <high-bass> hey guys... after installing the latest edgy nvidia drivers... i am having a few troubles... under nvidia-settings i cant seem to locate a section where it lets me pick my screenr resolution... anyone know a reason to this? im not sure when the exact max resolution my monitor supports....
[07:27] <n2diy> bula: there should be an install icon on your desktop, after you run the live cd.
[07:27] <AlleyKat> so I was wondering if the image might be busted instead - my cdburner works perfectly
[07:27] <bulmer> Eyra: what do you want done? configure a network card?
[07:27] <bula> gaiax11: the alternate for amd64 should do it then?
[07:27] <StoneNote> AlleyKat, you can have unfriendly Ubuntu send you a free CD https://shipit.ubuntu.com/
[07:27] <arrenlex> geeksauce: Makes no sense to me, but okay. xD
[07:27] <Eyra> i want to start the network config program
[07:27] <GaiaX11> bula: Yes.
[07:27] <arrenlex> geeksauce: As long as it works.
[07:27] <Eyra> bulmer i want to start the network config program
[07:28] <Eyra> bulmer sudo network-admin also crashes
[07:28] <bula> n2diy: on my ubuntu desktop or on my win desktop?
[07:28] <arrenlex> geeksauce: Helped a "friedgeek" a while ago. Are you related? Are you meant to be eaten together?

[07:28] <Eyra> bulmer thats what i get
[07:28] <n2diy> bula: boot from the Ubuntu CD, and you should find the install icon on your desktop.
[07:28] <StoneNote> GaiaX11, dist-upgrade isn't difficult
[07:28] <geeksauce> arrenlex, lol nah, i'm the only sauce that you drink straight ;-)
[07:28] <bulmer> Eyra im not a gui person, i can show you how to configure manually
[07:29] <Eyra> ok
[07:29] <Eyra> bulmer ok
[07:29] <geeksauce> arrenlex, wow, that came out wrong
[07:29] <bula> n2diy: ok thanks a ton  =]
[07:29] <arrenlex> Yep.
[07:29] <bulmer> Eyra which network card you want to configure? wireless?
[07:29] <n2diy> bula:  good luck.
[07:29] <Banthaman> ok, anyone know how to deactivate a wireless card for diagnostics after bootup?
[07:29] <david__> yo
[07:29] <Eyra> yah
[07:29] <tony__> arrenlex, it still detects no sound card. should i restart computer
[07:29] <Eyra> bulmer i want to turn it off
[07:29] <bulmer> Banthaman:  ifconfig wlan0 down
[07:29] <bula> gaiax11: if i cant find the installer on my desktop or get it working like n2diy said then ill start the alternate torrent that you said.  but im going to try the other first since i already have the CD
[07:30] <Banthaman> I have a problem there
[07:30] <GaiaX11> StoneNote: I tried to up from dapper to edgy 4 times. But, with no luck :-(
[07:30] <bula> gaiax11: thank you for your help also =)
[07:30] <bulmer> Eyra: same thing   ifconfig wlan0 down
[07:30] <arrenlex> tony__: Don't see how that would help.
[07:30] <Banthaman> it wont boot u p
[07:30] <geeksauce> arrenlex, this is cool.  not that i like vista, but the eye candy is cool.  but this beats it by a mile
[07:30] <arrenlex> tony__: You could try running this script: http://arrenlex.ls.la/alsaconf
[07:30] <Banthaman> keeps geting stuck on net config
[07:30] <Eyra> bulmer thank you

[07:33] <StoneNote> n2diy, do you need reading comprehension lessons
[07:33] <oggy> help
[07:33] <mackinac> ok
[07:33] <oggy> I need to install automatix
[07:33] <IndyGunFreak> no
[07:33] <oggy> pwease
[07:33] <IndyGunFreak> oggy, no you don't
[07:33] <oggy> :(
[07:33] <mackinac> !automatix
[07:33] <syberdave> if you have a USB drive and you pull it out without unmounting it, how can you get the kernel to forget about it if you're not able to plug it back in?
[07:33] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[07:33] <arrenlex> geeksauce: Most people don't want to mess with something that's out of the box. Can you imagine very many people would want to spend their friday nights going over cryptic text configs with strangers in a crowded channel?
[07:33] <n2diy> ! automatix | oggy
[07:33] <ubotu> oggy: please see above
[07:34] <david__> how do i get my windows workgroup to show up in ubuntu?
[07:34] <StoneNote> GaiaX11, well I went from breezy to dapper to edgy to feisty so I can't comment on going from dapper to feisty
[07:34] <arrenlex> geeksauce: Most people want something that turns on when they press the button, does what they want when they insert CDs for applications, and then turns off.
[07:34] <oggy> I installed it before
[07:34] <GaiaX11> StoneNote: I will try anyway
[07:34] <oggy> it worked
[07:34] <oggy> what happened why isnt the url working for it anymore
[07:34] <mackinac> !enter | oggy
[07:34] <ubotu> oggy: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[07:34] <arrenlex> !worksforme | oggy
[07:34] <IndyGunFreak> oggy, you're gonna get booted..lol
[07:34] <ubotu> oggy: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[07:34] <oggy> where is the website for it
[07:34] <StoneNote> GaiaX11, good luck
[07:35] <tony__> arrenlex, do you know anything else i could do the help this
[07:35] <bulmer> arrenlex then i dont have a job to fix the user mistakes  :)
[07:35] <tony__> arrenlex, thanks
[07:35] <tony__> arrenlex, how do i open or run the script
[07:35] <tony__> arrenlex: alsaconf will not open gdebin packer manager
[07:35] <IndyGunFreak> oggy, google is your friend
[07:35] <arrenlex> tony__: wow, that's quite a lot of things to say at once.
[07:35] <tony__> sorry
[07:35] <GaiaX11> StoneNote: Thx
[07:35] <arrenlex> tony__: You run the script by downloading it and then running "sh alsaconf" in that folder from the terminal.
[07:36] <dope> how do i reinstall mysql on ubuntu server edition
[07:36] <arrenlex> tony__: alsaconf has nothing to do with the package manager. What are you talking about?
[07:36] <tony__> sorry stupid enter
[07:36] <tony__> THANKS
[07:36] <geeksauce> arrenlex, that's what i meant.  if linux were pre-installed on systems the manufacturers would be able to make it work out of the box, or at least start to move in that direction.  but on the other hand, i like being part of the elite minority that can appreciate linux and not get frustrated after about 2.3 seconds, haha
[07:36] <arrenlex> tony__: You're welcome. For what?
[07:36] <arrenlex> tony__: Yes I do know what can help you, I just told you.
[07:36] <arrenlex> tony__: To be read in approximately the reverse order. =P
[07:36] <oggy> its b0rken
[07:36] <oggy> :|
[07:36] <IndyGunFreak> oggy, i noticed that earlier
[07:37] <arrenlex> geeksauce: Because Linux is open-source, it updates and changes all the time. When Windows XP came out, KDE 2.1 was fresh and new, and it looked like windows 3.1. Now KDE4 is in the oven, and it's amazing.
[07:37] <arrenlex> geeksauce: When windows XP started, wine could run solitaire maybe. Notepad I think had some support.
[07:37] <oggy> see this is what happened turns out my maxtor hard drive had may bad sectors I fixed it with maxtor utility in the process it hosed ubuntu install for me
[07:37] <arrenlex> geeksauce: Now it runs games, office suites, viruses, everything.
[07:37] <oggy> I was able to get ubuntu up and running again
[07:37] <kelsin> WoW :)
[07:37] <GaiaX11> dope: sudo apt-get install mysql-server
[07:38] <arrenlex> geeksauce: When windows XP came out, ubuntu didn't exist, and now it has millions of users and is the most popular distro.
[07:38] <IndyGunFreak> oggy, what are you trying to install that you need to have AUtomatix for?
[07:38] <arrenlex> geeksauce: When winXP came out, red hat was popular. Fedora didn't exist.
[07:38] <oggy> now im trying to get automatix so I can get the few softwares that worked before like swiftfox
[07:38] <Alley^Around> :/ sorry, bad idea to begin installing when the pc we're doing it on is the net bridge to the rest... is there a public log of this channel so I can see anything I might have missed?
[07:38] <tony__> arrenlex: sorry about asking you so much. but i open the file and its says syntax erro bad substitution
[07:38] <arrenlex> geeksauce: Things change very quickly in the Linux world, if you're on a desktop, or never, on a server.
[07:38] <oggy> I was using everything automatix had
[07:38] <arrenlex> tony__: Well crap. Run it was "bash alsaconf" then.
[07:38] <SirOSOriS> hi ive installed ubunt, now im about to install beryl once i get over this glitch.... i want to add the deb strings to sources.list, but i cant save the sources list...it wont let me
[07:38] <Frogzoo> oggy: on modern drives, usually once you have a few bad sectors, the drive's on its way out
[07:39] <IndyGunFreak> oggy, all that stuff is in the repositories and should be easily installable.
[07:39] <GaiaX11> arrenlex: Unfortunately, it is not like that
[07:39] <oggy> I just found it alot easier using automatix though
[07:39] <ardchoille> !automatix | oggy
[07:39] <ubotu> oggy: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[07:39] <GaiaX11> arrenlex: Win is still the most popular out there
[07:39] <IndyGunFreak> oggy, well, automatix is frowned upon here, so you won't get much help wiht it.. you can try #automatix.. but its usually empty there
[07:40] <arrenlex> GaiaX11: I know. That's what I'm saying. Linux can't be popular because it moves too fast for companies to keep up with. It's too fluid.
[07:40] <geeksauce> arrenlex, yeah, hopefully more people will see the light.  i think redhat was the first distro i ever tried.  it was pretty bad.  after that it was mandrake and then i heard about ubuntu.  tried suse and wasn't a fan, so back to ubuntu it was.
[07:40] <IndyGunFreak> i dont' really understand how installing from the repositories, is any harder than installing from automatix.. its the same thing, two clicks, right click, install
[07:40] <Pally> hey
[07:40] <Pally> anyone know how to install xubuntu on a USB?
[07:40] <arrenlex> geeksauce: Debian is my love. I have used it always. I have strayed briefly for kubuntu, but I realised the error of my ways = /
[07:41] <IndyGunFreak> Pally, how big is the usb drive?
[07:41] <Pally> 2GB
[07:41] <tony__> arrenlex: it sasy could not fine module  and it repeats it. sorry if i am annoying you
[07:41] <n2diy> IndyGunFreak: but automatix breaks things
[07:41] <IndyGunFreak> good luck
[07:41] <bulmer> Pally look into DSL instead of ubuntu
[07:41] <IndyGunFreak> n2diy, im not going over all that again, suffice tos ay, i have it on 3 systems, 3 different versions of Linux, never a problem
[07:41] <geeksauce> arrenlex, what are you doing in an ubuntu channel then? haha
[07:41] <omeil_> IndyGunFreak: got meka the sega master system working without sound lol :D
[07:41] <arrenlex> geeksauce: Helping out.
[07:41] <Pally> i got knoppix running fine
[07:42] <arrenlex> geeksauce: #debian is full of jerks.
[07:42] <qwerty> does anyone know the package name for the xvid codec or how i would install it
[07:42] <IndyGunFreak> personally, i think the claims that automatix breaks systems are horse crap, and it can probably be traced to something else 99% of the time, but people like to blame automatix
[07:42] <n2diy> IndyGunFreak: ok, so sometimes it doesn't, but Ubotu doesn't like it. :)
[07:42] <Kaline> Pally: http://pendrivelinux.com/2007/01/25/usb-x-ubuntu-610/
[07:42] <geeksauce> arrenlex: i haven't tried debian.  what makes it better?
[07:42] <Kaline> First result on Google, go to figure.
[07:42] <IndyGunFreak> n2diy, i know.
[07:42] <GaiaX11> geeksauce: I wouldn't say that a linux distribution is bad. All linux are very good. Depends on your taste. I also used RH. And it was very good at that time. But, still think that debian is the best and ubuntu follows :-)
[07:42] <IndyGunFreak> thats what i was explaining to the other guy
[07:42] <Pally> kaline- i've come from that site
[07:43] <Pally> the download doesn't work for the ISO
[07:43] <Pally> so i downloaded a separate one, burned the image
[07:43] <Pally> but its not bootable
[07:43] <Kaline> Ah, my bad. Haven't look down at irssi in a while.
[07:43] <Pally> or at least my comp wont boot it
[07:43] <hobophobe> is it possible to have write access on hard drives off of a liveCD boot?
[07:43] <Arafangi1n> *sigh*, is it typical for wireless routers to die at high load?
[07:43] <arrenlex> geeksauce: The differences are mostly ideological. I'm a huge fan of the Free philosophy, while most people are fans of the Just Works philosophy. Debian is more Free than ubuntu is.
[07:43] <Kaline> Does your BIOS support booting from a pen drive?
[07:43] <Pally> yeah
[07:44] <Pally> i got knoppix to boot from the USB
[07:44] <arrenlex> geeksauce: Also, ubuntu did something really weird to KDE. It's terribly, terribly slow. I don't know why.
[07:44] <qwerty> hobophobe, depends what file system
[07:44] <n2diy> IndyGunFreak: any politics behind your nick?
[07:44] <Pally> but knoppix wouldn't run my wireless card ><
[07:44] <arrenlex> geeksauce: debian always feels snappier.
[07:44] <yurimxpxman> I need help with my ubuntu server.  I can't get the pages to display that are in my web folder.  the ftp is working properly but any pages that are added to the server via ftp from another computer say that the person doesnt have permission to view the file.  do I just change the group?
[07:44] <hobophobe> ah, yeah.. NTFS
[07:44] <geeksauce> arrenlex, yeah ubuntu has the best support i've ever seen though.
[07:44] <IndyGunFreak> n2diy, again, somethign i don't discuss here, lol
[07:44] <arrenlex> geeksauce: Yes, that it does.
[07:44] <IndyGunFreak> n2diy, but the short answer is, yes
[07:44] <geeksauce> arrenlex, how do i do the cube thing with beryl?
[07:45] <arrenlex> geeksauce: Dunno, don't run it. xD
[07:45] <ardchoille> yurimxpxman: Sounds like you need to tweak permissions of the files after they are added to the server
[07:45] <n2diy> IndyGunFreak: RKBA! Remember NO
[07:45] <Pally> did ya'll see the windows virus infect Wine?  the article is on digg...
[07:45] <Kaline> Pally: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pendrivelinux/
[07:45] <IndyGunFreak> n2diy, they're gonna boot you outta here..lol
[07:45] <yurimxpxman> ardchoille:  how do I manage that?
[07:45] <Kaline> Pally: They have Ubuntu images up for grabs, could just strip GNOME packages and install Xubuntu + whatever over.
[07:45] <IndyGunFreak> Pally, i figured it was possible.
[07:45] <qwerty> hobophobe, it is not recomended to enable write with ntfs  could serious mess with your hard drive
[07:45] <Frogzoo> geeksauce: if the cube doesn't work by default, beryl isn't working for you - wait til it's out of beta
[07:45] <hobophobe> shrimants installed ubuntu on his laptop and now removed it and wants to copy his backup from a USB HD to his laptop's NTFS... I asked him to join here for assistance
[07:46] <Frogzoo> !ntfs-3g
[07:46] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[07:46] <arrenlex> tony__: Try this version instead: http://arrenlex.ls.la/alsaconf
[07:46] <arrenlex> tony__: If that doesn't work, I'm out of ideas. Sorry.
[07:46] <yurimxpxman> ardchoille:  Will I have to change the permissions every time?
[07:46] <ardchoille> yurimxpxman: man chmod    and for files that everyone is allowed to view: chmod a+r
[07:46] <IndyGunFreak> what was this virus that supposedly infected linux via wine?
[07:46] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: I was just reading that page today!
[07:46] <Frogzoo> a wine virus? lol - it was just a question of time
[07:46] <n2diy> IndyGunFreak: I don't think they know what we are talking about!?
[07:47] <Kaline> Flez?
[07:47] <IndyGunFreak> n2diy, well, i like i there, so i leave it that way.
[07:47] <geeksauce> Frogzoo, i figured it out... wheel button on the mouse.  neat!
[07:47] <GenNMX> Hey, I am trying to figure out which is better for my server -- Ubuntu Edgy or Debian Stable. I want a nice, stable server where most of the CPU will be taken up by HTTPD, BitTorrent, TV Recording, and DVD Burning. I have dual P3 500MHz processors and 1GB SDRAM. I'm worried Ubuntu will be heavier then Debian stable.
[07:47] <Kaline> Excuse me, Klez?
[07:47] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex, i haven't seen the page, which one is it.
[07:47] <Frogzoo> geeksauce: ctrl + alt also
[07:47] <bula> more ubuntu install questions lol.   i just tried to install it on my pc and it just sits on my computer loading when it gets to the part where it is trying to partition my HD.  my hd light doesnt light up and i dont hear anything.  its as if it doesnt recognise my hard drive.  my HD is 80GB serial ata. does that have anything to do with it?
[07:47] <GenNMX> I'm also going to use this server as my main workstation, but it doesn't need to "look fancy".
[07:47] <arrenlex> here it is: the wine virus: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=72598
[07:47] <hobophobe> GenNMX, it shouldn't matter... either way you can configure it to the efficiency you need
[07:47] <SirOSOriS> bula let it sit for five minutes...its doing a hardware check
[07:48] <Pally> the wine virus
[07:48] <n2diy> ! RKBA | IndyGunFreak
[07:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rkba - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:48] <ComputerHermit> yea
[07:48] <Pally> the guy downloaded the virus thru his email - and ran it separately
[07:48] <Pally> thru wine
[07:48] <IndyGunFreak> Pally, where did you read this?
[07:48] <Frogzoo> arrenlex: cry
[07:48] <cerry> halo
[07:48] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: I just said: here it is: the wine virus: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=72598
[07:48] <GenNMX> hobophobe: Well, for instance, would Kubuntu be a hog?
[07:48] <Pally> go to digg.com its one of the top stories
[07:48] <GaiaX11> bula: Why do you want to hear?
[07:48] <arrenlex> Wow, that is a lot of colons.
[07:48] <SirOSOriS> bula, what version of ubuntu r u installing?
[07:48] <bula> it sat for a good 10 minutes or so
[07:48] <hobophobe> qwerty, is there an environment that can effectively write to NTFS and access the USB HD at the same time to make copying feasible and easy?
[07:48] <scv> hi
[07:49] <zoli2k> GenNMX: there is no strong differences, if you install the server version of ubuntu you can easily customize your installation with the necessary packages.
[07:49] <bula> im installing the 6.1 for amd64
[07:49] <bula> GaiaX11: usually when my computer is working i can hear my hard drive clicking
[07:49] <scv> bula, do you run amd64 at the 32-bit mode?
[07:49] <SirOSOriS> have you tried giving it different partition parameters?
[07:49] <geeksauce> Frogzoo, that doesn't do anything
[07:49] <hobophobe> GenNMX, what I was trying to say is that anything that is a hog can be removed or refined... it shouldn't really be an issue... they're similar enough.
[07:49] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex, you gotta admit, it wa pretty stupid to try and run the viruses, just to see what would happen..lol
[07:50] <Pally> kaline, i downloaded that USBubuntu before, and clicked "makeboot", restarted - and ubuntu stopped booting after about 4 minutes - i left it going for 4 more but nothing happened
[07:50] <bula> i dont know what mode it runs at.  i just put it on my mobo and installed windows.  now i want ubuntu.
[07:50] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: On the contrary, it was hella cool.
[07:50] <qwerty> hobophobe, go into synaptic manager and get libntfs-3g0 ntfs-3g    but for really safe access to ntfs  is to share what you want via a network and connect to it via samba
[07:50] <yurimxpxman> ardchoille:  I honestly have no idea how to do that
[07:50] <Frogzoo> !ntfs-3g | hobophobe
[07:50] <ubotu> hobophobe: ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution.

[07:50] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex, lol, only cuz it wasn't you..lol
[07:50] <bula> and no i didnt try giving different partition parameters
[07:50] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: Yeah, eh. xD
[07:50] <Kaline> Anyone have an idea as to how to change the resolution of a tty?
[07:50] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[07:50] <hobophobe> Frogzoo, I know about the NTFS support in linux, that's not my question.
[07:50] <bula> i woudlnt even know where to begin to give different parameters and stuff
[07:51] <Frogzoo> bula: if your hard drive is clicking, check /var/log/messages for scsi timeouts - disk may be going bad
[07:51] <ComputerHermit> look at all the people here tonighttttttT
[07:51] <cerry> where is i get application xirc for ubuntu 6.1 ?
[07:51] <cerry> where is i get application xirc for ubuntu 6.1 ?
[07:51] <yurimxpxman> ardchoille:  my cousin was trying to figure it out earlier but never got it working before he had to leave
[07:51] <shrimants> i have a question: i backed up my windos partition to my external usb HD. then reformated the entire laptop HD and installed Ubuntu. now i want to switch back and restore all of my files. how do i copy the partition over from the removable HD to my normal HD, which is now NTFS formatted
[07:51] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex, so it looks like the safest way to run Linux, is w/o any form of Wine
[07:51] <ardchoille> yurimxpxman: Ok, well no offense, but you might want to learn more about Ubuntu and servers before you go messing with one.
[07:51] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: Well yeah. o_O
[07:51] <GenNMX> zoli2k: This is a home server, the only thing I have outside to the internet is HTTPD. Wouldn't the server version be overkill?
[07:51] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[07:51] <hobophobe> qwerty, there's nothing IN the NTFS partition. He's got a backup on a USB HD and wants to restore it to the laptop's clean NTFS (shrimants)
[07:51] <yurimxpxman> ardchoille:  my cousin is going to be the one managing it
[07:51] <bula> Frogzoo: what i meant was that there was no noise at all.  it sat for like 10 min and did nothing and my hard drive made no noise.  i would have expected it to make some type of noise if it was trying to partition or something
[07:51] <Kaline> xIRC is Mac-only, no?
[07:51] <Pally> how long does it take for you guys to get good with linux?
[07:51] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex, i wonder if spyware coudl use wine to launch?
[07:52] <Pally> im still using windows, and after running knoppix, im really intimidated
[07:52] <qwerty> hobophobe, then man dd
[07:52] <yurimxpxman> ardchoille:  I am just going to ftp.  He is the linux guru around here but he had to leave tonight before getting it to work
[07:52] <ardchoille> yurimxpxman: If he knows what he's doing, leave it to him :)
[07:52] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: It would mean the spyware would need to execute arbitrary commands on the Linux system, and if it can do that, you have much bigger problems.
[07:52] <shrimants> qwerty how do i use dd?
[07:52] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex, good point
[07:52] <Kaline> Unless he meant the old xirc, that'd make a lot more sense. XD
[07:52] <hobophobe> qwerty, okay so dd will do the job then, and you can enable write access in the liveCD mode?
[07:52] <betatux> Kaline , if you add 'vga=791' to the kernel line of your running kernel in the file /boot/grub/menu.lst your terminals are 1024 resulotion
[07:52] <IndyGunFreak> spyware was the main reason i jumped off of Windows...
[07:52] <arrenlex> Pally: Really good? Maybe a year or so...
[07:52] <yurimxpxman> ardchoille:  I need it set up tonight cause I go back to school tomorrow
[07:52] <qwerty> shrimants, man dd
[07:52] <bula> by the way, is there a shortcut to putting someone's name infront of text rather than just typing it out before the message?
[07:53] <Frogzoo> bula: ext3 partition only takes a few seconds
[07:53] <ComputerHermit> i started with redhat and mandreak Pally
[07:53] <ardchoille> yurimxpxman: He may have his own way of doing things and if you change anything now, it may upset his plans/techniques.
[07:53] <IndyGunFreak> had ver few virus problems(although i got sick of updating my AV software 3x a day)
[07:53] <arrenlex> !tab | bula
[07:53] <ubotu> bula: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[07:53] <qwerty> hobophobe, yes
[07:53] <betatux> Kaline , e.g. : kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-11-generic root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash vga=791
[07:53] <Pally> ComputerHermit: you'd recommend those over ubuntu?
[07:53] <tony__> arrenlex:  still same thing. although i want to thank yo very much for your support though
[07:53] <tony__> hello, is anyone really familiar with sound cards and alsa?
[07:53] <sau1> Hello, my problem is that after installing ubuntu (which looks awesome) i cannot go back to my old windows xp os. i had XP installed on another partition and i would normally access it through the Windows Vista Boot Loader. now it is unable to load xp. someone pleeease help thanks ^^

[07:53] <Frogzoo> tony__: there's 900 people in chan...
[07:53] <ardchoille> yurimxpxman: To make a file viewable to everyone, you need to get in there and do: chmod a+r filename
[07:53] <arrenlex> sau1: (you want the first link)
[07:53] <qwerty> hobophobe, here is an eg   sudo dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/sda
[07:53] <ComputerHermit> i havent been the same
[07:53] <shrimants> qwerty: the code is $ man dd?
[07:54] <tony__> sorry i'm forget to hold cntrl when i hit enger
[07:54] <arrenlex> shrimants: That lets you browse dd's help file.
[07:54] <tony__> *enter
[07:54] <ComputerHermit> NO Pally
[07:54] <arrenlex> hobophobe: Please don't run that command because it looks super super dangerous.
[07:54] <puff> Evening... amarok and gtkpod are fighting over my ipod.
[07:54] <sau1> i am able to load ubuntu fine, i cannot go back to windows xp
[07:54] <shrimants> arrenlex: thanks for clearing that up, i might be able to figure that out
[07:54] <bula> Frogzoo: so what do i do to install Ubuntu exactly?   i was on step 5 of 6 and it just sat and sat and sat with a message saying "you can manually partition your hard drive or have ubuntu do it automatically"  and it wouldnt let me go forward and it did nothing for 10 minutes.  it was as if it was frozen but i could do other things still
[07:54] <Kaline> betatux: A'ight, I'll see if it worked. :)
[07:54] <qwerty> shrimants, when i say "man" is stands for manual "dd" disk douplacate
[07:54] <betatux> Kaline, you have to reboot for it to take effect
[07:54] <ComputerHermit> Ubuntu is far better then any of thoughs Pally
[07:55] <GaiaX11> bula: http://osmirrors.cerias.purdue.edu/pub/ubuntu-releases/edgy/   I would suggest you the alternate PC (Intel x86) alternate install CD
[07:55] <yurimxpxman> ardchoille: I have to do that for every file?  Can't it be done another way?
[07:55] <Pally> ok- thats what i've read
[07:55] <shrimants> qwerty: OHHHHH ok
[07:55] <Kaline> betatux: Yeah, I know. lol
[07:55] <Pally> at least for people making the switch
[07:55] <betatux> Kaline, kk
[07:55] <tony__> alright, so when i open any music file i get "can not detect sound card" typing the alsamixer cin the command line does not work. it says its not detected
[07:55] <sau1> someoen please....
[07:55] <sau1> someone*
[07:55] <bula> GaiaX11: so use that intel install even though i have amd64 correct?
[07:55] <mikere> saul: Vista bootloader can be a problem right now.  Not sure if grub works well with it (or is it vice versa)?
[07:55] <mwe> how do you get information about reserved blocks, block size etc for an ext3 partition?
[07:55] <Frogzoo> bula: did you choose automatic install? do you have a partition free for linux to install on?
[07:55] <yurimxpxman> ardchoille:  Could I just do that for the main directory?
[07:55] <qwerty> does anyone know the package name for the xvid codec or how i would install it
[07:56] <Frogzoo> mwe: dumpe2fs
[07:56] <bula> Frogzoo: i just pressed the install button from the desktop on my ubuntu desktop cd thingy
[07:56] <mwe> thanks
[07:56] <SirOSOriS> how do i install the new nvidia drivers please?
[07:56] <GaiaX11> bula: Have a look in the page and read the 3 alternates infos
[07:56] <arrenlex> !nvidia-beta | SirOSOriS
[07:56] <hobophobe> qwerty sounds like you want ffmpeg?
[07:56] <ubotu> SirOSOriS: For Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft), you can obtain the (unsupported!) 9746 version of the binary NVidia drivers by using this repository: deb http://nvidia.limitless.lupine.me.uk/ubuntu edgy stable
[07:56] <zoli2k> GenNMX: Of course, the standard installation of ubuntu is also ok. The server version has some advantages if you have a many user server.
[07:56] <ardchoille> yurimxpxman: You need to do that for every file that you want viewable by everyone. There are files on a server that only the admin should see, therefore you can't just do a blanket chmod a+r, it's a bad idea. You need to know which files can and cannot be viewable by everyone.
[07:56] <Frogzoo> mwe: dumpe2fs -h /dev/hd#
[07:56] <no0bgirL> hello everyone
[07:56] <SirOSOriS> ?
[07:56] <SirOSOriS> how do i install the new nvidia drivers please?
[07:56] <Pally> 1 problem with my linnux tirals so far is browsers- when you scroll, they lag really badly
[07:56] <mwe> whats -h?
[07:57] <n2diy> qwerty: run system-admin-synaptic, and search for it.
[07:57] <arrenlex> !hi | no0bgirL
[07:57] <ubotu> no0bgirL: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[07:57] <Frogzoo> bula: but at this point of the install, you have to choose whether to do manual or automatic partitioning
[07:57] <no0bgirL> :)
[07:57] <mwe> I'll read man dumpe2fs
[07:57] <ardchoille> yurimxpxman: This is why I recommended that you learn more about Ubuntu and servers before doing this.
[07:57] <qwerty> n2dity, i have searched for xvid
[07:57] <zoli2k> zoli2k: If you want a lightweight installation maybe you should try xubuntu. Xfce4 became to a really nice environment.
[07:57] <weelo> Anyone here has ever had a problem where everytime you copy something and then attempt to paste comes out as "undefined" ?
[07:57] <SirOSOriS> how do i install the new nvidia drivers please?
[07:58] <sau1> has anyone been able to run Vista Boot Loader + Ubuntu???? i need some help...
[07:58] <bula> Frogzoo: i was at that point but it would not let me choose any type of partitioning.  it just sat there.  i couldnt go forward, couldnt select auto, or couldnt select manual.   it was just a little cursor in the shape of a circle with a dot going around in it
[07:58] <FunnyLookinHat> !nvidia | Sir_Brizz
[07:58] <ubotu> Sir_Brizz: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:58] <yurimxpxman> ardchoille:  Well the server is staying here while I am at college.  I need to be able to have the permissions change automatically.
[07:58] <FunnyLookinHat> crap
[07:58] <sau1> i mean Grub
[07:58] <n2diy> qwerty: ok, have you enabled all the available nepos in synaptic?
[07:58] <FunnyLookinHat> !nvidia | SirOSOriS
[07:58] <ubotu> SirOSOriS: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:58] <Frogzoo> mwe: for x in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ; do sudo dumpe2fs -h /dev/hda$x ; done
[07:58] <AlleyKat> ok thanks for the hints... now got the cat out of the cables too :roll: and sorry if I sounded terribly annoyed/n00b, but a too large image to fit is imho a bit silly and then some. Thanks for pointers, going for a rtfm approach now, too many in here anyway
[07:58] <n2diy> (nepos=repos
[07:58] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex, thats a very interesting thread, so do Linux AV scanners, scan for Windows viruses?
[07:58] <mwe> Frogzoo: thanks I just need it for hda3 and hda1, though ;)
[07:59] <qwerty> n2dity, never mind i remember how i did it in suse i got it now thx for the help though
[07:59] <sau1> *sigh* bye...
[07:59] <rendo> error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'  Every single time I try and set a password for mysql I always get that error, I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
[07:59] <FunnyLookinHat> IndyGunFreak, afaik, Linux AV scanners simply scan for malicious code in files just like any other virus scanner, OS independent
[07:59] <bula> GaiaX11: what exactly is this alternate install going to do?  it has a few bullets of extra options that i dont think fit my situation.
[07:59] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: Linux AV scanners scan for virus signatures. Virus signatures are what you get when a virus attaches itself to a file. ClamAV is mostly used on mail servers, to scan attachments which are probably going between windows users
[07:59] <hobophobe> qwerty, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-31418.html%22***%3C/t-225.html
[07:59] <n2diy> qwerty: gl
[07:59] <Taime1> i cant watch this video with my mplayer plugin: http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/
[07:59] <AlleyKat> (it's also the least userfriendly start on what should be a userfriendly distro right) ;)
[07:59] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex, makes sense, but i'm still not installing Linux AV.. i refuse..lol
[07:59] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: All virus scanners scan for all viruses they know of. It would be silly to make a virus scanner for only Linux viruses, cause there are, like, none.
[07:59] <Taime1> can someone check that for me?
[08:00] <Costel> whats the best smtp server (package name)?
[08:00] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex, that makes sense now that ou put it that way
[08:00] <geeksauce> are there backgrounds that go with the themes in beryl?
[08:00] <arrenlex> Taime1: I can. *wins*
[08:00] <Frogzoo> Costel: sendmail :D
[08:00] <n3rrd> How can I check to figure out if Ubuntu recognizes my usbwireless card? :|
[08:00] <Costel> thanks
[08:00] <bula> Frogzoo: so it shouldnt matter that i have a serial ata hard drive when its sitting on that window right?  so i should just let it sit for a bit longer maybe and see if it makes progress?
[08:00] <arrenlex> Taime1: Download it: wget http://movies.apple.com/movies/us/apple/wwdc2006/apple-leopard_intro_896x448.mov
[08:00] <Frogzoo> Costel: postfix is simpler & easier to setp
[08:00] <arrenlex> Taime1: Then run it with mplayer from the local disk from the command line.
[08:00] <n2diy> AlleyKat: linux isn't meant to be user friendly, it is meant to be user safe.
[08:00] <rendo> !mysql
[08:00] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[08:00] <arrenlex> Taime1: Pastebin all output if it doesn't run.
[08:01] <yurimxpxman> ardchoille:  the best way  to learn is by experience...  do you know of a way that it can be done to where I wont have to change the permissions every time that I want to add a new file?
[08:01] <Frogzoo> bula: no, if the install's not obviously doing something, there's something wrong
[08:01] <AlleyKat> overburn isn't a safe approach ;) no telling wqhat quality the cds are
[08:01] <bula> when i was running my desktop ubuntu cd i noticed that there was no 1680 x 1050.  will that feature become available to me when i get the full install done?
[08:01] <bula> Frogzoo: do you have any idea what it could be?
[08:02] <uux86> How do I change gdm resolution in order to be the same as the desktop resolution ?
[08:02] <arrenlex> !fixres | bula
[08:02] <ubotu> bula: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[08:02] <Taime1> how do i run that in mplayer from the commandline?
[08:02] <bula> Frogzoo: right now i have windows installed on my hard drive.  maybe its taking up all the room on the partition or something?
[08:02] <arrenlex> Taime1: mplayer <file>
[08:02] <Taime1> thanx
[08:02] <Taime1> ill get back to you
[08:02] <AlleyKat> still wondering if it was me getting a wrong image file, which is why i was asking :) have google, will search
[08:03] <ardchoille> yurimxpxman: No, I installed apache2 and php4 and it does that for me automatically.
[08:03] <ardchoille> yurimxpxman: Not sure why yours doesn't
[08:03] <Frogzoo> bula: some few installs need you to pass the kernel option 'acpi=off' from the grub menu - boot the CD & hit F6 at the menu - edit the kernel line & add that option, might help
[08:03] <yurimxpxman> ardchoille:  Do you ftp from root?  or a different ftp user?
[08:04] <zoli2k> uux86: edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[08:04] <bula> Frogzoo: that is way above my head.  i lost you after pressing f6 =/      maybe im not advanced enough to use this stuff =(
[08:04] <ardchoille> yurimxpxman: I can't help you with this. Please ask someone else.
[08:04] <n2diy> yurimxpxman: ftping as root is very dangerous, do it as a user.
[08:04] <uux86> thanks zolik2k
[08:04] <yurimxpxman> ardchoille:  I am doing it as a user, but  I am trying to figure out why this isnt working
[08:04] <weelo> Anyone here has ever had a problem where everytime you copy something and then attempt to paste comes out as "undefined" ?
[08:05] <Frogzoo> bula: mostly it 'just works' - but not on all hardware - google 'acpi=off + grub" should get you some hits
[08:05] <Taime1> here is that output: http://pastehere.com/?mmgifr
[08:05] <cables> bula, what's up?
[08:05] <n3rrd> How can I check to figure out if Ubuntu recognizes my usbwireless card?
[08:05] <cables> bula, how'd the install go?
[08:05] <horrendus01> Hey everone, anyone open to attempting to help me with an issue I am having with ubuntu?
[08:05] <cables> !ask | horrendus01
[08:05] <ubotu> horrendus01: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:05] <Frogzoo> yurimxpxman: completely unnecessary to ftp from the root account, so don't
[08:06] <shriphani> can anyone tell me a command to find  folder in the system ?
[08:06] <yurimxpxman> Frogzoo:  I don't.  I am just trying to figure this out
[08:06] <Frogzoo> shriphani: locate filename
[08:06] <n2diy> shriphani: locate
[08:06] <bula> cables: cant get it started yet lol
[08:06] <horrendus01> ubotu, well i didn't want to seem rude coming in and just demanding some help, thought I'd be a little polite lol
[08:06] <shriphani> so i just type locate .ivman ?
[08:07] <arrenlex> Taime1: Did it play?
[08:07] <cables> bula, ah, not so good then.
[08:07] <Taime1> no
[08:07] <bula> cables: i think it has to do with my serial ata hard drive.  the install just sits on the step where it says it is preparing to either auto or manual partition my hard drive
[08:07] <n2diy> shriphani: yep
[08:07] <arrenlex> !ubotu | horrendus01
[08:07] <cables> horrendus01, ubotu's a bot :)
[08:07] <Frogzoo> shriphani: nothing to lose by trying
[08:07] <ubotu> horrendus01: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[08:07] <shriphani> ok
[08:07] <Taime1> it plays for 2 secs, then crashes
[08:07] <rendo> Can somebody point me to a mysql setup page that actually works, I always get the same error about mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'
[08:07] <yurimxpxman> Frogzoo:  Do you know what I should do?  The files that I ftp to the server computer can not be viewed by everyone.
[08:07] <bula> cables: but some nice ppl have been trying to help me and 'acpi=off + grub" might be the answer i was told
[08:07] <arrenlex> Taime1: Try as mplayer -vo xv -ao alsa <fie>
[08:07] <Costel> is there a mail system with an interface....i don't know what and how to configure senmail or postfix :(

[08:07] <cables> bula, ok... no idea there. Trust the other people :)
[08:08] <horrendus01> ahh, hence the "bot" in the name, okay, didn't pick up on that one, Iguess I'm a bit slow
[08:08] <bula> cables: brb ima try once more before bed.  i gotta be up at 8:00 est!
[08:08] <llol> hey folks
[08:08] <arrenlex> ubotu, did you know you are the greatest bot ever? I love you so much. Please marry me! Don't ever leave me. Okay? <3
[08:08] <arrenlex> (00:08:28) ubotu: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
[08:08] <arrenlex> Aha, it works.
[08:08] <arrenlex> So that's what that's for.
[08:08] <n2diy> horrendus01: welcome to Ubuntu, the bot caught me too.
[08:08] <llol> anyone here have experence or know of any rooms were i can get info for RAID configs
[08:08] <llol> ?
[08:09] <bula> cables: do you have aim?  i got aim working when i had my desktop ubuntu working.   maybe i can talk to you on aim if i need help
[08:09] <cables> horrendus01, are you still here? Ask away
[08:09] <horrendus01> yes, I am still here
[08:09] <cables> bula, yes, but you should really come here for help with Ubuntu. To tell you the truth, I'm really only good at a few things, and would rather chat here. If you register with NickServ, you can PM people here.
[08:10] <cables> !register | bula
[08:10] <ubotu> bula: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[08:10] <uux86> zolik2k. The login screen has a different resolution from the one of the desktop. I dont know what to change in xorg.conf in order the fix this problem. Do you have any idea?

[08:10] <horrendus01> Basically I am having some issues with my video card and ubuntu starting the x server
[08:10] <arrenlex> Taime1: Judging by the last line,  V:   <font size="3">1.4  34/ 34 63%  1%  0.0% 0 0, it did play. You do realise that the actual clip itself IS only 34ms long? It's just a logo zoom. The other movies on that site are longer.</font>
[08:10] <Frogzoo> !fixres | horrendus01

[08:10] <Taime1> arrenlex, it failed again with this output: http://pastehere.com/?tanvnn
[08:11] <Taime1> you're kidding?
[08:11] <arrenlex> <font size="3">Taime1: Nope. Try the other clips.</font>
[08:11] <Taime1> good god
[08:11] <Taime1> im so sorry
[08:11] <arrenlex> Taime1: You should have been more specific that "all I see is a logo zoom" rather than "it doesn't play".
[08:11] <horrendus01> I had to install off the alternate install cd because the x windows server wouldnt start and I couldn't install from the livecd
[08:12] <burepe_> katapult is awsome. Is there a way I make it starts when my comp starts?
[08:12] <MybEvil_> How do I enable Multiverse?
[08:12] <Taime1> i will in the future
[08:12] <MybEvil_> to download Java6?
[08:12] <horrendus01> when ubuntu boots up, it gives me an error saying that there is a buffer I/O error on device hda
[08:12] <Taime1> again, my appologies for monopolizing your time ...
[08:12] <uux86> zoli2k. The login screen has a different resolution from the one of the desktop. I dont know what to change in xorg.conf in order to fix this problem. Do you have any idea?
[08:12] <arrenlex> Taime1: Although your mplayer IS misconfigured; it hit three bad options before it found a combination that worked.
[08:12] <Taime1> thanks
[08:12] <horrendus01> and then tells me that the x server didnt start because it probably isn'tconfigured correctly
[08:12] <penguinfan> hi, how can i migrate my debian vserver to ubuntu? i get errors with libc6 when i just switch apt sources.list
[08:12] <yurimxpxman> Frogzoo:  Do you know how I can set permissions so that everyone can view files that I ftp as a user other  than root?
[08:13] <arrenlex> Taime1: Edit the ~/.mplayer/config file (it may not exist) and put the following into it:
[08:13] <arrenlex> ao=alsa,oss,null,
[08:13] <arrenlex> vo=xv,x11,
[08:13] <arrenlex> zoom=1
[08:13] <omeil_> horrendus I/O input output error. sounds like the hard drive.
[08:13] <horrendus01> I look at the output and it tells me that it detects a device, but no screens were found and therefore could not start up
[08:13] <arrenlex> Taime1: That'll make it faster.
[08:13] <yurimxpxman> Frogzoo:  Nothing that I ftp as a user other than root is visible to anyone
[08:13] <omeil_> so could it be a video error horrendus?
[08:13] <shrimants> al right, qwerty, it seems to be working. the command has been entered and SOMETHING is happening, i dunno exactly what
[08:13] <shrimants> i;ll come back if theres a problem.
[08:13] <shrimants> thank you so much for your help
[08:13] <MybEvil_> How could I install Java?
[08:13] <Taime1> well, thats going the extra mile!
[08:14] <Taime1> thanks a lot!
[08:14] <arrenlex> !java | MybEvil_
[08:14] <ubotu> MybEvil_: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[08:14] <burepe_>  Is there a way I make a program start when my comp starts?
[08:14] <posingaspopular> !java
[08:14] <arrenlex> Taime1: yw :) enjoy mplayer\ubuntu.
[08:14] <noodles12>  ok i screwed up my system!!! i was running xubuntu edgy and i installed BUM to get rid of services i didn't need. I got rid of GDM because i thought that was for gnome adn not xfce, adn now i can't log in.. when i start my computer, the screen is all fuzzy and blinking. how do i fix this when i use a live cd? what config files do i change to get gdm to auto start again?
[08:14] <zoli2k> uux86: I assume your screen depth is 24 bits. In the Screen section  look for the Subsection "Display" with the depth 24.
[08:14] <horrendus01> omeil, I was thinking that it was an error with the nvidia kernel communicating with the card
[08:14] <zoli2k> uux86: for the line:   Modes           "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
[08:14] <Frogzoo> yurimxpxman: whose box is it that allows you to connect with ftp as root ??? O.O
[08:14] <omeil_> horrendus
[08:14] <uux86> ok. let me see...
[08:14] <yurimxpxman> it is mine
[08:15] <omeil_> maybe its not configuring the card correctly
[08:15] <yurimxpxman> well
[08:15] <zoli2k> uux86: the first value "1024..." is the default for gdm
[08:15] <omeil_> have u tried configuring the xorg.conf file
[08:15] <horrendus01> not manually, no
[08:15] <omeil_> and changing 'nv' to VESA. install Ubuntu then install the drivers manually
[08:15] <Frogzoo> yurimxpxman: allowing root access via ftp is welcome 2 haxor city
[08:15] <horrendus01> might I ask what vesa is?
[08:15] <horrendus01> I'm somewhat new to ubuntu
[08:15] <yurimxpxman> Frogzoo:  I can't ftp as root only as a user, but the files that I do ftp as a user can't be viewed
[08:15] <omeil_> its kinda like running in software mode
[08:16] <edgy> Hi, for f in '*.ext'; do cat $f > $f-ext; how can I modify it to add -ext to the filename please?
[08:16] <Frogzoo> yurimxpxman: you need to check the docs of your ftp server
[08:16] <omeil_> so it should be able to work
[08:16] <Frogzoo> yurimxpxman: look for a howto for your ftp daemon
[08:16] <betatux_> horrendus01, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver
[08:17] <omeil_> what i did is press F^ and remove splash from the command line so it will be quite -- break=bottom
[08:17] <uux86> zoli2k . The only info I have in subsection display is: viewport 0 0 ; depth 24
[08:17] <arrenlex> edgy: Are you trying to make your own 'cp' utility? xD
[08:17] <horrendus01> from what I understand, alot of people with my vid card are having the same issue, but everything that I have tried that people have said they did that worked or that others should try fails
[08:17] <yurimxpxman> Frogzoo:  I always get a 403 when trying to view pages ftp'd by a user.
[08:17] <yurimxpxman> Frogzoo:  No permission for anyone that isnt a user
[08:17] <edgy> arrenlex: actually not but I want to know how to use for loop effectively
[08:17] <n2diy> edgy: looks like you are missing a space, try  $f  -ext
[08:17] <omeil_> horrendus im speaking to u in private
[08:17] <horrendus01> if it helps at all, its the geforce 8800 gtx card
[08:17] <arrenlex> edgy: What are you trying to do?
[08:17] <arrenlex> /info horrendus01
[08:17] <horrendus01> okay omeil
[08:18] <arrenlex> -_-
[08:18] <betatux_> Edgy, > $f\-ext
[08:18] <Frogzoo> yurimxpxman: that sounds more like an apache configuraiton/permission problem
[08:18] <arrenlex> I hate gaim
[08:18] <Banthaman> ok ifdown didn't work
[08:18] <arrenlex> omeil_: You can't talk to him in private cause he's not identified.
[08:18] <Frogzoo> !doesn't work
[08:18] <ubotu> Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel)
[08:18] <horrendus01> I'm not Identified?
[08:18] <yurimxpxman> Frogzoo:  Do you know how I should go about fixing this problem then?
[08:18] <uux86> zoli2k . Should I add Modes    "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" ?
[08:18] <zoli2k> yes
[08:19] <cables> !register | horrendus01
[08:19] <ubotu> horrendus01: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[08:19] <uux86> thanks again zoli2k
[08:19] <n2diy> Banthaman: ifdown "what" didn't work? you have to tell the system what to bring down. And thanks for the time lag.
[08:19] <Banthaman> nope I tried ifdown ra0 for my wireless card (not installed) installed it and still locked on bootup "configuring network interface"
[08:19] <zoli2k> uux86: but I am surprised that xorg.conf miss this line.
[08:20] <uux86> I installed fgrlx driver, from ati
[08:20] <Banthaman> it won't boot to anything if the card is still installed
[08:20] <uux86> zoli2k I installed fgrlx driver, from ati
[08:20] <n3rrd> Would anyone be able to tell me why ndiswrapper won't work as a command out of a fresh install?  Does it need to be installed, configured, etc.?
[08:20] <edgy> betatux_, n2diy: that generates a *-ext instead of myfilename.ext
[08:21] <horrendus01> okay let me register realfast
[08:21] <ubuntu____> ih
[08:21] <ubuntu____> hi
[08:21] <Banthaman> I had the wcard up and running but didn't auto config on bootup and now it locks my system
[08:21] <uux86> zoli2k, fglrx :) I mean
[08:21] <Banthaman> any ideas?
[08:21] <arrenlex> edgy: I still don't understand what you're trying to do. You have a file called foo.ext. What do you want it to end up as?
[08:21] <n2diy> edgy: what generates that?
[08:22] <edgy> arrenlex: I am trying actually to replace some text in many files using sed script and save the result in a new file with a new extension
[08:22] <ComputerHermit_> ok emu
[08:22] <burepe_> what is the location for program files?
[08:22] <Banthaman> anyone?
[08:23] <noodles12> how would change what services are started automatically from a livecd?
[08:23] <arrenlex> edgy: new extension is going to be hard. Stripping off the old extension is a total hack.
[08:23] <SinesurfR> I've been having problems finding a payroll program for businesses in the US on linux.  The closest I can find is one for Canada/Australia.  Could someone help out with figuring out whether I can either tweak those to US standards or to find already made payroll programs within the US?
[08:23] <edgy> n2diy: for f in '*.ext'; do cat $f > $f\-ext2; done; ls *ext2
[08:23] <edgy> *.ext-ext2
[08:23] <burepe_> noodles12:  I don't think you can unless you make a new live cd. It is static info right?
[08:23] <arrenlex> edgy: Oh. If you're not removing the old one, that's easy.
[08:24] <ComputerHermit_> emulatior a free one anyone can anyone help me with a link I had virtualdisk
[08:24] <ComputerHermit_> and now I cant find it on the net
[08:24] <edgy> arrenlex: actually I want to append something to the filename not the extension
[08:24] <noodles12> burepe_: i'm not sure what you're asking?  . i turned off gdm to autostart using BUM and now i can't get into my system. so i want to get gdm to autostart again from a live cd
[08:24] <n2diy> edgy: ok, I'm lost, gl
[08:25] <burepe_> I$B!!(Bsee
[08:25] <arrenlex> edgy: for a in `ls *.ext` ; do sed 's/hello/bye/g' $a > ${a}-ext2 ; done
[08:25] <edgy> n2diy: i have a file foo.ext and I want to say rename it to foo-new.ext
[08:25] <arrenlex> edgy: Oh!
[08:25] <arrenlex> edgy: Hm.
[08:25] <burepe_> noodles12: what is BUM
[08:25] <lisapc> anyone know how to create a rescue partition and have ability to restore from a hidden rescue partition if needed?
[08:25] <arrenlex> edgy: Why don't you just use a renaming utility? It's so much easier.
[08:26] <n2diy> edgy: ok, rn foo.ext foo.-new.ext?
[08:26] <noodles12> burepe_: it just lets me uncheck or check services i want to be loaded at autostart.
[08:26] <n2diy> edgy: ok, rn foo.ext foo-new.ext?
[08:27] <SinesurfR> ?
[08:28] <n2diy> edgy: ok, sorry, renmae not  rn
[08:28] <n2diy> rename
[08:28] <edgy> arrenlex, n2diy: ok the real example is: for f in *.css; do sudo sed -e 's/left/lleft/g' -e 's/right/left/g' -e 's/lleft/right/g' $f > $f-rtl.css
[08:28] <edgy> n2diy, arrenlex: so I want to replace all lefts with rights and vice versa
[08:29] <edgy> n2diy, arrenlex: if possible without creating temporary files
[08:29] <Shaezsche> fsk died with exit status 1 and told my i had 10% non-contigous. is that bad
[08:30] <edgy> n2diy, arrenlex: what's the easies way to do it?
[08:30] <n2diy> edgy: gl,, your doing stuff I don't know how to do.
[08:32] <slipstream3d> Yaaaaagh, help! /var/log is 34GB and filling up my root partition :S
[08:32] <edgy> n2diy, arrenlex: the issue is I need to create files with content generated from a pipe
[08:32] <CorpseFeede1> is there any way to modify the artist and album tags on an .ogg audio file ripped off CD? Rhythmbox won't let me type in the text fields for the song's properties.
[08:33] <stratusfear> how can i play videos in color's letter on mplayer?
[08:33] <Shaezsche> fsk died with exit status 1 and told my i had 10% non-contigous. is that bad
[08:33] <arrenlex> edgy: here:
[08:33] <n2diy> edgy: you can do that with pipes, check out "man pipes or pipe"
[08:33] <arrenlex> http://arrenlex.ls.la/script
[08:34] <arrenlex> edgy: But surely there's a better way to do that.
[08:35] <stratusfear> how can i play videos on mplayer in colors' letters?
[08:35] <nowhere> Hello, I plan to switch to Ubuntu. Have tried it before but failed because I couldn't get my internet connection working. I have a WMP54G network card and the connection uses WPA encription. Is there anyone willing to explain me step by step noob proof how I can get thing working once the installation is finished? Once I have interenet I think I can figure out the rest :) Thanks in advance!
[08:35] <arrenlex> stratusfear: That's libcaca. It needs to be compiled with it. What does "mplayer -vo help | grep -i caca | wc -l" say?
[08:36] <ardchoille> edgy: echo "This is a test" | tee -a /path/file
[08:36] <arrenlex> edgy: Does it do what you want?
[08:37] <stratusfear> mplayer -vo help | grep -i caca | wc -s
[08:37] <arrenlex> stratusfear: -l, not -s.
[08:37] <arrenlex> stratusfear: Also, irc is not a terminal. :)
[08:37] <arrenlex> edgy: Oh, if you're using sudo with sed, you're going to have to use | sudo tee "file" instead of > "file".
[08:37] <stratusfear> arrenlex it say 1
[08:38] <arrenlex> edgy: And move the sudo to the tee, not the sed.
[08:38] <arrenlex> stratusfear: Then mplayer -vo caca <moviefile>
[08:38] <stratusfear> ok thanks bro
[08:39] <CorpseFeeder> Is there any way to modify the artist and album tags in an .ogg audio file ripped from a CD? Rhythmbox will not let me type in the text fields for song's properties...
[08:40] <reubs> I am having problems with login times for sshd under a vmware installation of ubuntu. It will login instantly from the computer the vmware player is on, but from other computers on my network it will take over a minute to login. Have already turned off the reverselookup. Can someone point me in the right direction?
[08:40] <pirothezero> anyone got a hotswap sata array going/working?
[08:41] <ardchoille> CorpseFeeder: I use Easytag for that
[08:41] <ardchoille> !easytag | CorpseFeeder
[08:41] <ubotu> corpsefeeder: easytag: viewing, editing and writing ID3 tags. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.99.12-1 (edgy), package size 748 kB, installed size 2428 kB
[08:41] <stratusfear> arrenlex it say your system is to slow to play this
[08:42] <arrenlex> stratusfear: Get a better CPU =P
[08:42] <arrenlex> stratusfear: Are you playing it from a network?
[08:42] <yurimxpxman> Does anyone know set up a remote desktop connection to ubuntu with windows vista?
[08:42] <stratusfear> no i got it on my hard disk
[08:43] <arrenlex> stratusfear: Is it actually playing too slow?
[08:43] <CorpseFeeder> ardchoille: thank you
[08:43] <ardchoille> CorpseFeeder: You're welcome :)
[08:43] <vik> Hibernate used to work on my machine; now it hibernates once, then doesn't resume, but starts up normally. After this, swapspace is disabled, and if I try to enable it, it says swapon: /dev/sda2: Invalid argument. Any ideas?
[08:44] <stratusfear> arrenlex yes it said same shit using -vo aa and i did the same thing you told the other guy to make mplayer faster
[08:44] <arrenlex> stratusfear: That doesn't apply to you.
[08:45] <arrenlex> stratusfear: Don't take someone else's prescription medicine.
[08:45] <arrenlex> stratusfear: Is it actually playing too slow?
[08:45] <arrenlex> stratusfear: If so, try -framedrop or -hardframedrop.
[08:45] <stratusfear> arrenlex that worked using -vo aa it doesn't say that anymore
[08:45] <stratusfear> arrenlex ok
[08:46] <slipstream3d> ugh
[08:46] <slipstream3d> my log files are full of millions of kernel firewall messages
[08:46] <Polygon89> Hello, for some reason my ubuntu installation seems to be borked somehow, i cant login to either gnome or xfce... when i login the screen just goes black and it goes back to the gdm screen. When i try to login, it says something about session being under 10 seconds and to check an error log. Is there anyway to fix this, like what config files should i try clearing?
[08:46] <slipstream3d> how do I get this thing to cut it out?? i've disabled all logging entries in the shorewall configuration!
[08:47] <slipstream3d> anyone?
[08:48] <nowhere> Hello, I plan to switch to Ubuntu. Have tried it before but failed because I couldn't get my internet connection working. I have a WMP54G network card and the connection uses WPA encription. Is there anyone willing to explain me step by step noob proof how I can get thing working once the installation is finished? Once I have interenet I think I can figure out the rest :) Thanks in advance!
[08:48] <slipstream3d> nowhere: there's no real noob-proof way of getting the *drivers* installed, but once you've got them, gnome's network-manger package is an excellent way to connect using WPA
[08:49] <yurimxpxman> does anyone know how to remote desktop into ubuntu from windows vista?
[08:49] <yurimxpxman> or if it is even possible
[08:49] <slipstream3d> yurim: yes
[08:50] <stratusfear> arrenlex is working it doesn't say it anymore
[08:50] <slipstream3d> install a VNC package then use a VNC viewer on Windows
[08:50] <arrenlex> stratusfear: Okay. Enjoy.
[08:50] <stratusfear> arrenlex thank you
[08:50] <burepe_> I am looking for a solution to this http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=362957
[08:50] <slipstream3d> I use the UltraVNC viewer on Windows, and x11vnc on the linux server
[08:50] <Arafangi1n> tightvnc is also quite good.
[08:50] <Polygon89> nowhere, it seems that people have gotten your wireless card working on windows
[08:50] <Polygon89> not windows, ubuntu
[08:50] <nowhere> I found a website that states the WMP54 works out of the box.
[08:51] <yurimxpxman> slipstream3d:  how do I establish the connection?
[08:51] <Banthaman> enable teh remote desktop vnc server
[08:51] <stratusfear> nowhere i got the same wireless card and it work properly
[08:51] <reubs> can anyone help with a sshd problem?
[08:51] <Banthaman> should be under either preferences or administration
[08:51] <nowhere> cool stratusfear, can you confirm it works out of the box and I only need network_manager to connect to my WPA encrypted network?
[08:52] <horrendus01> I am back
[08:52] <n3rrd> *sigh*  Wireless support... :(
[08:52] <stratusfear> nowhere did you install its windows drivers on linux?
[08:52] <Arafangi1n> My wireless *stinks*
[08:52] <Banthaman> what card?
[08:53] <yurimxpxman> slipstream3d:  is ultraVNC free?
[08:53] <Banthaman> yeah
[08:53] <Arafangi1n> Banthaman: Not the card - my situtation is different - it just generally stinks.  I think my wireless station is dying.
[08:53] <nowhere> stratusfear: I wanted to switch to ubuntu before, month ago.. But failed at getting internet working, after getting 'depressed' over it I decided to give up. Ready for another try now :)
[08:53] <Banthaman> but currently only suports windows
[08:53] <robert_> help- I can't ping my gateway/local network, but I can ping the outside world
[08:54] <horrendus01> gah, the guy who was helping me out isn't here anymore...
[08:54] <horrendus01> ...
[08:54] <YangYin> horrendus01: what do you need?
[08:54] <stratusfear> nowhere ok the only way i got it working was installing its windows drivers on linux and then i installed network_manager
[08:54] <Polygon89> nowhere, here seems to be a good guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=241565
[08:55] <horrendus01> He was helping me to change my xorg to change the driver from nv to VESA  because myvid card isn't working with ubuntu
[08:55] <Banthaman> I'm remote using my ubuntu using ulra vnc from xp - works good
[08:55] <horrendus01> and when I go to open the xorg file
[08:55] <horrendus01> its not there
[08:55] <YangYin> stratusfear: thats the only way my wireless works
[08:55] <horrendus01> I do nano /etc/x11/xorg.conf
[08:55] <YangYin> its a capital X
[08:55] <stratusfear> yangyin yeah mine too
[08:55] <horrendus01> it gives me a blank file with "new file" on the bottom
[08:55] <YangYin> captital x
[08:55] <robert_> anybody ever run into the same problem before?
[08:56] <Banthaman> later people
[08:56] <cafuego_> horrendus01: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:56] <YangYin> ... like i said
[08:56] <horrendus01> ok
[08:56] <horrendus01> brb then
[08:56] <YangYin> kk
[08:56] <YangYin> hmm... must be dual booting
[08:56] <qwerty> what runs on port 2208, what service
[08:56] <n3rrd> Is there any particular wireless card (PCMCIA or USB dongle) that is fairly trouble free under Linux?
[08:56] <cafuego_> Of course, provably not a good idea if you don't know linux is case sensitive.
[08:56] <YangYin> n3rrd: lol wireless that doesnt have that many problems *snicker
[08:57] <n3rrd> Figured, hah.
[08:57] <cafuego_> n3rrd: Depends. 802.11b (11Mbit) orinoco based cards are hassle free.
[08:57] <YangYin> n3rrd: just make sure that you have xp drivers and use ndiswrapper
[08:57] <Polygon89> dont get a card that requires ndiswrapper
[08:57] <nowhere> is it possible to try these things with an ubuntu live cd? So I try things in an easy way?
[08:57] <cafuego_> n3rrd: actively recommending windows drivers? classy.
[08:57] <YangYin> Polygon89: why?
[08:58] <n3rrd> Seems to follow suit with my general hatred for wireless networking...
[08:58] <Polygon89> why use ndiswrapper when there are cards that work fine with native drivers?
[08:58] <cafuego_> eh, YangYin even
[08:58] <yurimxpxman> how do I get GUI working in server edition?
[08:58] <Polygon89> i use a dlink g520 and i have never touched ndiswrapper
[08:58] <yurimxpxman> I have to do everything in textmode
[08:58] <YangYin> Polygon89: ... you got me there
[08:58] <yurimxpxman> and it sucks
[08:58] <YangYin> ndiswrapper isnt that hard to figure out
[08:58] <arrenlex> yurimxpxman: the ubuntu gui? Gnome?
[08:58] <arrenlex> yurimxpxman: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[08:58] <Polygon89> ndiswrapper uses windows drivers, and most likely your going to run into problems since it was written for windows not linux
[08:58] <cafuego_> YangYin: The idea is to NOT buy cards that don't have drivers available.
[08:59] <YangYin> yurimxpxman: thats how they did it back in the day.. if you ask me people are expecting too much from linux
[08:59] <yurimxpxman> they are expecting it to be windows
[08:59] <daft> intel pro/wireless 2200 worked straight after install for me, havent had a problem yet
[08:59] <yurimxpxman> gross isnt it
[08:59] <YangYin> yurimxpxman: exactly
[08:59] <n3rrd> Polygon89:  would you happen to know if there is a usb/pcmcia version of that PCI card?  I know they tend to release them in batches like that...
[08:59] <Polygon89> if you want a suggestion, my D-Link g520 works perfectly with ubuntu, no hassle. Simply install, go to networking, set up your access point and wep encryption and your done.
[08:59] <Polygon89> im not sure
[08:59] <qwerty> yurimxpxman, have you tried starting the xorg  or try switching to tty7
[09:00] <n3rrd> Alright, I'll go to their site and figure it out.
[09:00] <cafuego_> n3rrd: I've not had problems with my pcmcia atheros card, which has native (but not open) drivers
[09:00] <yurimxpxman> tried xorg but it didnt work
[09:00] <yurimxpxman> nothing has worked
[09:00] <rendo> !ln
[09:00] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[09:00] <n3rrd> cafuego_:  model number?
[09:00] <cafuego_> n3rrd: I also have a broadcom 4306, but that can be a bit termperamental
[09:00] <cafuego_> n3rrd: Netgear WG511Tv1
[09:00] <qwerty> yurimxpxman, what command did you try for xorg
[09:01] <vik_> Got hibernate working again! yay!
[09:01] <n3rrd> that is the atheros?
[09:01] <Elrik> Hi, can anybody help me setting up my connection?
[09:01] <cafuego_> n3rrd: Yup, the T model
[09:01] <YangYin> Elrik: little more info...
[09:01] <Polygon89> yeah with atheros cards, the drivers are not techinally "open" since they include on binary file to comply with the FCC
[09:01] <YangYin> Elrik: connection to what..
[09:01] <cafuego_> n3rrd: I've heard unconfirmed rumours there may be additional version that do *not* sue atheros.
[09:01] <n3rrd> ebay, ebay, ebay.... gots to love it.
[09:01] <vik_> Another problem I have is that it doesn't seem to remember any samba network passwords even when I ask it to. Is this a bug or are there any workarounds?
[09:01] <yurimxpxman> qwerty:  I dont remember.  My cousin tried it all earlier today
[09:02] <yurimxpxman> he is a linux guru and can do it all in textmode but I cant
[09:02] <robert_> nobody's ever run into my situation before?
[09:02] <Polygon89> I think the best way to figure out what card to get is to pick a brand, and google it and see what others people's successes with the card has been.
[09:02] <Elrik> Yeah I was going to post more info,, I use a Wireless network card [Asus 802.11] , and with it I want to connect to the router in our home network, I have no idea how to set it up really.
[09:02] <n3rrd> Also, quick question (not sure if anyone would know).  I read earlier that Ubuntu comes with tpctl (for IBM trackpoints) and I can't seem to find it.
[09:02] <cafuego_> !info tpctl
[09:02] <ubotu> tpctl: ThinkPad hardware configuration tools. In component universe, is extra. Version 4.17-2 (edgy), package size 76 kB, installed size 300 kB (Only available for i386)
[09:02] <YangYin> Elrik: go to terminal, type su, then admin password, then type iwconfig and tell me if you see anything
[09:03] <vik_> n3rrd: what do you want to do with the trackpoint?
[09:03] <cafuego_> n3rrd: You'd need to enable the universe repository.
[09:03] <arrenlex> !sudo | YangYin
[09:03] <ubotu> YangYin: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:03] <arrenlex> There is no su in ubuntu
[09:03] <YangYin> arrenlex: bah
[09:03] <YangYin> arrenlex: yeah there is
[09:03] <arrenlex> YangYin: Not by default.
[09:03] <n3rrd> vik_:  I just want to see what is available through it, that's all.  Getting used to this whole thing as I go.
[09:03] <Elrik> I tried working with the terminal, when I type anything in the terminal, it asks for a password, but then I can't type anything??
[09:03] <YangYin> arrenlex: okay, then Elrik type sudo iwconfig
[09:04] <daft> elrik: you can type, it just doesnt show you what letters are being typed
[09:04] <arrenlex> Elrik: You're actually typing, it's just hiding your password.

[09:06] <Elrik> hang on i'll come on lappy and go on ubuntu on here.
[09:06] <arrenlex> Polygon89: What does the command "ls -ld ~ /tmp" say?
[09:06] <YangYin> Elrik: if it did type sudo ifdown wlan0, then sudo iwlist wlan0 scan, then type, sudo iwconfig wlan0 ESSID (name of network), then sudo ifup wlan0

[09:10] <Polygon89> arrenlex, are you asking me to post whats inside /home/whatever/tmp, or /tmp ?
[09:10] <YangYin> patrick_: that doest sound like a problem
[09:10] <n3rrd> hmm... anyone had experience with the D-Link DWL-G122 on Edgy?  The community wifidocs only have info for dapper and breezy
[09:10] <yurimxpxman> how do I connect to ubuntu from vista with ultravnc?
[09:10] <patrick_> Sorry for my lousy explanation
[09:11] <arrenlex> Polygon89: No, I don't want the content of anything, but the permissions.
[09:11] <patrick_> do you understand or should i rephrase?
[09:11] <arrenlex> Polygon89: What folder did you mount it in?
[09:11] <Polygon89> arrenlex, well since i have home / root on different partitions, home is /media/home and root is /media/root
[09:11] <YangYin> patrick_: okay so your internet works when your connected but when you disconnect the cable your internet goes too?
[09:11] <arrenlex> Polygon89: ls -ld /media/root/tmp /media/home/<yourusername>
[09:12] <Polygon89> arrenlex, i was just confused cause you had a ~ infront of /tmp, so i was wondering which  one
[09:12] <patrick_> YangYin : yes
[09:12] <arrenlex> Polygon89: There was a space between ~ and /tmp, to list them both.
[09:12] <arrenlex> Polygon89: This was what I was looking for:

[09:14] <patrick_> YangYin one sec
[09:14] <mistik> any idea?
[09:15] <qwerty> ok i want to make a link type variable type thing eg  what ever directory you are in if you type $HOME  you go to  /home   now how do i make something like that but so that it points to a different directory
[09:15] <arrenlex> Polygon89: Your username is 1000? o_O
[09:15] <Elrik> Ok, I
[09:15] <Polygon89> arrenlex, no its "mark", cause at the end it says /media/home/mark... is it just saying that cuase im on the live cd?
[09:15] <dee> I have a little OT question: did anyone knows a little linux game I can compile for a report I give next week?
[09:15] <arrenlex> Polygon89: Hmm. I don't know. It could be.
[09:16] <mistik> is there a program like aida32 for ubuntu?
[09:16] <arrenlex> Polygon89: I'd feel better about this if we were on your native system...
[09:16] <n3rrd> cafuego_:  according to the wifidocs, the "made in Taiwan" version works out of the box, the "made in China" version needs ndiswrapper, etc.
[09:16] <patrick_> YangYin i sent you a privmsg with the details
[09:16] <CapaH> arrenlex, : Where is the 'plugin window' ?
[09:16] <arrenlex> Polygon89: It can't hurt. Try sudo chown -R mark:mark /media/home/mark
[09:16] <qwerty> !alien | mistik
[09:16] <ubotu> mistik: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[09:16] <Polygon89> arrenlex, well the thing is i cant LOGIN to my native system lol
[09:16] <YangYin> patrick_: you did?

[09:17] <mistik> so
[09:17] <patrick_> okay pasted it here.. thanks btw!
[09:17] <CapaH> arrenlex, : It loads inline into a webpage, when I right click there is no option for configure -- though there is preferences (tries that...)
[09:17] <Polygon89> arrenlex, is there some cli irc client that you can reccomend?
[09:17] <mistik> my main problem is my resolution, i can only use 800x600

[09:17] <Polygon89> rgr let me restart

[09:18] <arrenlex> Polygon89: Did you run my command?
[09:18] <Polygon89> ill do that now

[09:19] <CapaH> Ok: http://www.pastebin.ca/370145
[09:20] <mistik> ol
[09:20] <arrenlex> qwerty: in /etc/environment, put the line FOO=/some/folder, and then run the command "source /etc/environment", and then you will be able to access /some/folder using $FOO
[09:21] <YangYin> !iwconfig
[09:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about iwconfig - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:21] <YangYin> bull shit
[09:21] <arrenlex> qwerty: <moronbuffer>Obviously, replace  /some/folder with your actual folder and FOO with whatever variable name you want</moronbuffer>
[09:21] <ekimus> qwerty: believe me you _don't_ want to change the $HOME variable - apart from that it is >>export $VARNAME="/path/to/directory"<< for your actual shell and if you want it to survive login/logout cycles you put it in ~/.bashrc
[09:21] <CapaH> arrenlex, : http://www.pastebin.ca/370145
[09:21] <arrenlex> CapaH: Oh.
[09:21] <YangYin> does anyone know of a respository for Macromedia flash

[09:34] <arrenlex> CapaH: Hm. Right-click on the video and go to configure. Set the video driver to x11.
[09:34] <Elrik> It showed a bunch of stuff, like 50 different errors

[09:35] <yurimxpxman> flannel:  What exactly is this going?
[09:35] <YangYin> Flannel: okay okay i see your point
[09:36] <Polygon89> finaly
[09:36] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: what?  you're telling apt not to use the CD as a repository, and in doing so, it'll use the internet only
[09:36] <arrenlex> Polygon89: And hi!
[09:36] <CapaH> arrenlex, It looks good now
[09:36] <yurimxpxman> this list is only at like 16%

[09:36] <YangYin> Elrik: are you sure they are errors?
[09:36] <CapaH> arrenlex, thank you looks great :)

[09:37] <arrenlex> Polygon89: Sorry... good luck.
[09:38] <YangYin> patrick_: okay make sure that 'sudo ndiswrapper -l' gives a driver present and hardware found
[09:38] <arrenlex> Polygon89: That sounds like either the internet or the repositories are down.

[09:38] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: you must be... 18% through the file.  scroll around with the arrow keys
[09:39] <yurimxpxman> flannel:  I cant go anywhere with the arrow keys
[09:39] <Flannel> ekimus: er... 1.5.8?  All supported (breezy+) ubuntu versions have higher than that
[09:40] <Polygon89> drwxr-xr-x mark mark 4096 2007-2-24 00:35 /home/mark              drwxrwxrwt 5 root 4096 2007-2-24 1:37 /tmp
[09:40] <vinboy> hi
[09:40] <vinboy> which VNC client should I use?
[09:40] <ALMimoni> how to install GTK themes?
[09:40] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: I have no idea what you might be looking at then.  Do you have a bunch of command-ish things at the bottom?  (^[letter] )
[09:40] <arrenlex> Polygon89: Nope, it's fine...
[09:41] <Elrik> Well, it didn't work, since the computers have no connection and all, won't bother finding a disk to save it to, but first i entered the location of the map, typed sudo make install, and it started installing, got a few errors and all
[09:41] <Elrik> i just found this file though, a "Ndiswrapper-.tar.gz"
[09:41] <arrenlex> Polygon89: Sorry... good luck fixing it.
[09:41] <Polygon89> arrenlex, well actually trying to get install the cli irc client, i was doing man apt-get and it kept giving me errors about not enough disk space or something
[09:41] <arrenlex> Polygon89: o_O
[09:41] <YangYin> Elrik: i would suggest googling ndiswrapper and downloading the latest
[09:42] <arrenlex> Polygon89: df -H | grep /$
[09:42] <Polygon89> arrenlex, man apt-get -> gzip: stdout: no space left on device
[09:42] <Elrik> yeah, that
[09:42] <Flannel> Elrik: the CD you installed ubuntu with has ndiswrapper on it
[09:42] <yurimxpxman> flannel:  the bottom says  "23%[ 56 openoffice.org-style-industrial 2345567/3637KB 95%]                         83.12kB/s  47m58s
[09:42] <YangYin> Flannel: or that...
[09:42] <YangYin> Flannel: unless you didnt get a cd
[09:42] <YangYin> He*
[09:42] <Elrik> I have a cd'
[09:42] <Flannel> Elrik: if you used the Desktop CD, you'll need to add the CD as a repository with 'apt-cdrom'
[09:43] <Flannel> YangYin: how do you propose he installed it then?
[09:43] <Polygon89> arrenlex, that cant be right, its saying /dev/hde2  11g    11g  0   100%.... i had like 4 gb left over a couple days ago!
[09:43] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: You're currently ... downloading.  What is that?  wget? or apt-get?
[09:43] <patrick_> YangYin
[09:43] <arrenlex> Polygon89: rm -rf ~/.porn =P
[09:43] <patrick_> Installed ndis drivers:
[09:43] <patrick_> oem10   invalid driver!
[09:43] <Polygon89> that would go on my home partiton silly =P
[09:43] <yurimxpxman> idk
[09:44] <yurimxpxman> I just ran that thing sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:44] <arrenlex> Polygon89: Oh, right. Hmmmmm.
[09:44] <YangYin> Flannel: ? im not quite sure
[09:44] <Elrik> Well, I downloaded the latest version of ndiswrapper, put everything on my ipod, and used the ipod to transfer the files to my ubuntu linux, then i copyed all the files off my ipod and put them into my ubuntu linux desktop'
[09:44] <YangYin> lol
[09:44] <Polygon89> what can i uninstall just to get enough space to get into X?
[09:44] <YangYin> nice
[09:44] <ekimus> Flannel: interesting thing is that on apt-get install lvm2 edgy complains that no installable version of lvm-common is available (same with binutils now which is quite strange imho)
[09:44] <YangYin> Elrik: and a sudo make install came up with errors?
[09:44] <arrenlex> Polygon89: sudo apt-get clean
[09:44] <YangYin> patrick_: yes
[09:45] <Flannel> ekimus: update your cache then.  What third party repositories you using?
[09:45] <Polygon89> arrenlex, still 100%
[09:45] <yurimxpxman> flannel:  what would be downloading?  All I did was run what you told me to "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list"
[09:45] <Elrik> some errors occured and some warnings, maybe it worked tho
[09:45] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: I doubt you did.  You're downloading packages, as if you grabbed stuff from apt-get.
[09:45] <ekimus> Flannel: nothing this is a fresh install, only universe is enabled
[09:45] <SinesurfR> does anyone know of a speech recognition program for linux?
[09:45] <yurimxpxman> that is exactly what I typed
[09:46] <yurimxpxman> sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:46] <YangYin> Elrik: ... if you got errors im pretty sure you didnt install it im guessing you have dependancy issues
[09:46] <YangYin> Elrik: i dont know why
[09:46] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: did you have a prompt when you did it?  Since this looks like it's been runnign fora while
[09:46] <yurimxpxman> flannel:  no I am in text mode and there was nothing
[09:47] <patrick_> YangYin they say invalid drivers... im getting them directly from intel.com though
[09:47] <Elrik> is there any way to check if it worked?
[09:47] <arrenlex> Polygon89: Look for large files, I guess: find / -type f -size +500000k
[09:47] <ekimus> Flannel: no wait, i'll take everything back. i disabled not only cdrom: but also httpd: sources :) - <== total idiot
[09:47] <arrenlex> Polygon89: (This is 500MB+)
[09:47] <Flannel> ekimus: I guess.... install lvm-common first, then try the lvm2
[09:47] <Flannel> ekimus: heh, that'd do it then ;)
[09:47] <yurimxpxman> flannel:  Should I restart the computer?
[09:47] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: no.
[09:48] <yurimxpxman> flannel:  What is sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list supposed to do?
[09:48] <YangYin> patrick_: if you know what type of card it is i would suggest googling your card along with xp drivers
[09:48] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: it will open an editor (nano) editing that file (/etc/apt/sources.list)
[09:48] <arrenlex> Polygon89: This one is the same but easier to copy out correctly: find / -type f -size +500M
[09:48] <YangYin> patrick_: the drivers may be too new
[09:48] <YangYin> patrick_: or too old
[09:48] <patrick_> most likely too new
[09:48] <YangYin> patrick_: probably
[09:48] <yurimxpxman> flannel:  is there a way to make it stop downloading these packages?
[09:49] <Polygon89> arrenlex, how do i specify a directory, as its scanning everything including my windows partitons which has a bunch of video games on it
[09:49] <patrick_> YangYin thanks alot! ill try
[09:49] <YangYin> patrick_: np
[09:49] <SinesurfR> is there a code word that I must type to get a response?
[09:49] <YangYin> patrick_: just have to find the right one
[09:49] <Polygon89> arrenlex, my ability to use man pages is a little limitenoighwt  =P
[09:49] <Polygon89> limited*
[09:49] <Flannel> !repeat | SinesurfR
[09:49] <ubotu> SinesurfR: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[09:49] <YangYin> Elrik: type sudo ndiswrapper
[09:49] <Flannel> SinesurfR: second clause, not first.
[09:49] <yurimxpxman> I just want gnome why does it have to be so hard?
[09:49] <YangYin> Elrik: if a command not found occurs then its not installed
[09:49] <Elrik> found it'
[09:50] <SinesurfR> Flannel: thanks
[09:50] <SinesurfR> just making sure that chatzilla's working
[09:50] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: it's not.  Go ahead and ctrl-C to stop that, then edit your file
[09:50] <YangYin> Elrik: you got a bunch of commands
[09:50] <Elrik> yeah'
[09:50] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: although... you obviously did something to start the update
[09:50] <YangYin> Elrik: okay now install your driver using sudo ndiswrapper -i <driver>
[09:50] <nepomo> sorry again, where do i find that manual again for installing the ati drivers, cant find it in google that quick
[09:50] <YangYin> !ati
[09:50] <YangYin> ?
[09:50] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:51] <arrenlex> Polygon89: replace the / at the beginning with a specific folder.
[09:51] <arrenlex> Polygon89: the / is the path -- root in my command.
[09:51] <Elrik> YEah, it worked
[09:51] <yurimxpxman> flannel:  nothing is in this file
[09:51] <arrenlex> Polygon89: find /var/giantfiles -type f -size +500M
[09:51] <Elrik> when i type sudo ndiswrapper -l it shows also
[09:51] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: What version of ubuntu are you using?
[09:51] <yurimxpxman> server
[09:51] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: lsb-release -a
[09:51] <YangYin> okay Elrik does it say driver installed, hardware found
[09:51] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: dapper? edgy?
[09:51] <yurimxpxman> edgy
[09:52] <YangYin> go edgy
[09:52] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> Any wizard here who can help me with my crashed apt-get / dpkg? The package "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-11-generic" wont completely get configured! "dpkg --configure -a" just hangs when trying to configuring it. I cant remove it either, dpkg / apt-get just hangs at "Removing linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-11-generic ..." I've tried removing it with all kinds of 'force' applied! Im stuck, and no one has bee
[09:52] <Elrik> yes
[09:52] <Elrik> Installed drivers: zd1211u          driver installed
[09:52] <YangYin> Elrik: type sudo ndiswrapper -m
[09:52] <qwerty> i would love to stay here and talk shop but i have to go dream about tux
[09:52] <Polygon89> arrenlex, is there any way to scroll up in the command line mode? its really annoying that i only get one screenful of text
[09:52] <YangYin> Elrik: wait..
[09:52] <qwerty> !tux
[09:52] <ubotu> tux is the Linux Mascot - http://www.isc.tamu.edu/~lewing/linux/
[09:52] <YangYin> Elrik: it just says driver installed
[09:53] <YangYin> no hardware found
[09:53] <arrenlex> Polygon89: ctrl+pgup
[09:53] <arrenlex> Polygon89: sorry, shift+pgup
[09:53] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: I assure you there's stuff in that file.  go ahead and navigate there, (cd /etc/apt) and then type "less sources.list" and you'll see
[09:53] <Elrik> yes
[09:53] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> The status of the package is http://pastebin.se/9193
[09:53] <arrenlex> Polygon89: Or else you can pipe it to more
[09:53] <YangYin> Elrik: sould say something like thisdriver installed   device (10EC:8185) present (alternate driver: r818x)
[09:54] <YangYin> Elrik: not exactly that wording
[09:54] <tensor> i plan to use sockets only, i put the skip-networking option in /etc/mysql/my.cnf and mysql fails on restart
[09:54] <tensor> log says it can't locate the socket file in /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
[09:54] <Jazon> hi everyone
[09:54] <arrenlex> !hi | Jazon
[09:54] <YangYin> Jazon: hey
[09:54] <ubotu> Jazon: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[09:54] <yurimxpxman> flannel:  how do I get this editor off the screen?
[09:54] <AzMoo> tensor, is the socket file there?
[09:54] <Elrik> doesen't say hardware found, should i type sudo depmod -m anyways?
[09:55] <tensor> AzMoo, it's not, doesn't the service automatically creates it?
[09:55] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: less? hit escape
[09:55] <yurimxpxman> nano
[09:55] <YangYin> does it say something like this "driver installed device (10EC:8185) present
[09:55] <Jazon> so, I can't resolve a rather serious problem with an upgrade to feisty.  I can't boot.  It seems to think there is a raid (??) and cant find any md devices  mdadm is the problem i think...  any suggestions?   http://rafb.net/p/n5Xme841.html  <--- the error i get while chroot to the partition
[09:55] <AzMoo> tensor, it should. Is mysqld running?
[09:55] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: ctrl-X (^ means control)
[09:55] <AzMoo> tensor, duh, clearly not. 2 secs.
[09:56] <yurimxpxman> k
[09:56] <Polygon89> arrenlex, im getting some stuff in /tmp and some stuff in /root/, can i safely delete that stuff?
[09:56] <Elrik> no
[09:56] <tensor> AzMoo: D
[09:56] <tehxed> crimsun, you there?
[09:56] <Elrik> it only says driver installed
[09:56] <arrenlex> Polygon89: /tmp should be cleaned at boot.
[09:56] <YangYin> Elrik: then the driver you have isnt correct, you have to have that present there
[09:56] <arrenlex> Polygon89: Try sudo /etc/init.d/bootclean start
[09:56] <yurimxpxman> flannel:  there is stuff there but it wont let me edit it
[09:57] <yurimxpxman> do I try nano again?
[09:57] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: less is jsut a viewer, not an editor.  Now, type "sudo nano sources.list"
[09:57] <YangYin> Elrik: ndiswrapper has to have the correct driver or else it wont work
[09:57] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: you mistyped something previously.
[09:57] <YangYin> Elrik: well
[09:57] <arrenlex> Polygon89: Of course, I'm simply not going to tell you that "yes, all that stuff can be removed" because "stuff" is incredibly vague and you might easily break something.
[09:57] <arrenlex> Polygon89: er, more than it is already, that is.
[09:58] <arrenlex> Polygon89: Give me a few filenames.
[09:58] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: you can also type a bit of the name (like sou) and hit tab, and it'll complete it for you
[09:58] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> Anyone know why apt-get hangs when trying to install "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-11-generic"?
[09:58] <yurimxpxman> flannel:  how do I exit less.  ESC isnt working
[09:58] <HymnToLife> UbuntuN00B_HBG, define "hangs"
[09:58] <Polygon89> arrenlex, at the bottom it says stuff like /root/.kde, /root/.trash, /root/.thumbnails
[09:58] <HymnToLife> yurimxpxman, Q, for quit
[09:58] <Elrik> Hmm,, it should be the correct driver tho
[09:59] <arrenlex> Polygon89: You can remove /root/.kde and /root/.thumbnails
[09:59] <arrenlex> Polygon89: Have you been using this system as root?
[09:59] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> HymnToLife: when reaching "Configuring linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-11-generic ..." it just stops
[09:59] <Polygon89> arrenlex, then a bunch of stuff from /proc
[09:59] <Polygon89> k
[09:59] <yurimxpxman> flannel:  I comment deb cdrom: ubuntu yata yata yata?
[09:59] <arrenlex> Polygon89: Don't touch proc.
[09:59] <Polygon89> duh =P
[09:59] <arrenlex> Polygon89: Have you been using this system as root?
[09:59] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: yes, a single # at the beginning
[09:59] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> HymnToLife: current status of the package is http://pastebin.se/9193
[09:59] <YangYin> Elrik: the driver could be too new, or too old, i would check out channel #ndiswrapper if you want more in depth help
[09:59] <yurimxpxman> flannel:  will it automatically download gnome then?
[10:00] <arrenlex> Polygon89: What I meant to say was /root/.trash, not .kde, but I guess it doesn't matter much.
[10:00] <Polygon89> arrenlex, no. and it still says that the hard disk is full
[10:00] <arrenlex> Polygon89: But make sure you get the trash.
[10:00] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: no.  It'll stop asking for the CD
[10:00] <yurimxpxman> flannel:  and it will install gnome?
[10:00] <Elrik> ok, thanks for the help anyways.
[10:00] <HymnToLife> UbuntuN00B_HBG, have you tried running dpkg-configure on it ?
[10:00] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: Once you've done that, save (^O), quit (^X)
[10:00] <arrenlex> Polygon89: Try the du command and then sort the output numerically so you can see some digits.
[10:01] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: then update (sudo apt-get update) and then 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop'
[10:01] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> HymnToLife: you mean dpkd --configure -a ?
[10:01] <HymnToLife> yep, same thing
[10:01] <arrenlex> Polygon89: du | sort -n
[10:01] <Polygon89> arenlex,  it lists /root/.synaptic in it, should i clear that?
[10:01] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> HymnToLife: yes, just hangs at the same output "Configuring linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-11-generic ..."
[10:01] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: also, once you're done installing that, you'll want to come back here and ask how to install a desktop kernel (and get rid of the server one)
[10:02] <yurimxpxman> flannel:  I need the server one
[10:02] <arrenlex> Polygon89: du -hx | sort -n might work better
[10:02] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> HymnToLife: trying dpkg --remove just hangs at "Removing linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-11-generic ..."
[10:02] <arrenlex> Polygon89: du -x | sort -n might work better
[10:02] <HymnToLife> that's really weird...
[10:02] <yurimxpxman> flannel:  I just needed the gui so I dont have to mess with my website in text mode
[10:03] <arrenlex> Polygon89: I dunno. I don't run synaptic, I don't know what it puts where.
[10:03] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> HymnToLife: yeah.... so now I cant install anything because apt-get / dpkg detects a half configures package, tries to configure it and then hangs...
[10:03] <yurimxpxman> flannel:  thanks for the help
[10:04] <HymnToLife> UbuntuN00B_HBG, maybe the DEB was corrupted during download
[10:04] <yurimxpxman> flannel:  it is installing right now
[10:04] <HymnToLife> try downloading it manually and installing it with dpkg -i
[10:04] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> HymnToLife: good idea! do you know where to download linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-11-generic ?
[10:04] <Polygon89> is there something that im missing.... cause your command you gave me before (df -H | grep /$ ) is still saying that my hd is 100%, even though ive deleted stuff
[10:05] <HymnToLife> UbuntuN00B_HBG, http://packages.ubuntu.com
[10:05] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> HymnToLife: i'll give that a shot! stay tuned! ;)
[10:07] <AzMoo> tensor, mine does the same, except I'm not getting anything in my error log. That's interesting.
[10:08] <tensor> AzMoo: maybe it's how the ubuntu package works
[10:08] <tensor> AzMoo: i'll try my luck compiling from source
