[06:32] <jc__> my bother can't get his monitor beyond 800x600, here is his current xorg.conf file http://paste.ubuntu.com/25610/
[06:32] <binskipy2u> anyone?
[06:32] <buntunub> then try google for that device on linux and see what comes up
[06:32] <giacomo_carissim> thnx
[06:32] <BeepII> Do you have to be in root/sudo to use #sh?
[06:32] <alien_> hello
[06:32] <binskipy2u> anyone know?
[06:32] <ritul> I do think that was working previously.... except when I installed bluez firmware package separately.
[06:32] <binskipy2u> hello?
[06:32] <Utalcn2me> ritul, do you have a special button as to activate bluetooth on your laptop
[06:32] <binskipy2u> what runlevel "bum" affects when you start or stop a service?
[06:33] <Rat409> binskipy2u: depends,but in sysv init systems usually 2,3,4,5 varies by app/service
[06:33] <binskipy2u> i know this
[06:33] <binskipy2u> but.. which one does bum use?
[06:33] <ritul> Utalcn2me..........Yes I have it .. and I switchd it on.. but no light comes up
[06:33] <binskipy2u> when you stop something
[06:33] <binskipy2u> or can i just install bum in kde?
[06:33] <binskipy2u> or is bum gnome only?
[06:33] <Rat409> probly removes it or makes it un-exec in /etc/init.d
[06:34] <Mayank> ritul laptop have separate button for that
[06:34] <BeepII> According to the documentation w/ this driver, I'm supposed to type #sh reallylongfilename.run to install it. . .
[06:34] <BeepII> but it's not doing anything. . .
[06:34] <Utalcn2me> ls /etc/init.d
[06:34] <Mayank> for start and stop
[06:34] <Mayank> of blue tooth
[06:35] <Mayank> I have seen his laptop
[06:35] <ritul> Utalcn2me: ls /etc/init.d .......bluetooth listing
[06:35] <Rat409> BeepII: chmod +x it then ./bla.run from the directory
[06:35] <Utalcn2me> ls /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart maybe?
[06:35] <jc__> can anyone help me get xorg working? I can't beyond 800x600
[06:35] <ritul> I restarted..
[06:35] <ritul> no luck... yet
[06:35] <Mayank> jc__ xorg --configure
[06:35] <Mayank> startx
[06:36] <Mayank> I think X --configure
[06:36] <buntunub> !resolution | rc_
[06:36] <b4l7424r> http://pastebin.com/m3fb33f84 <-- here's the contents of my fstab file and i don't know how i would edit it to not mount my windows partiton at startup
[06:36] <ritul> buntunub: !resolution | rc_   whats it ????????
[06:37] <Rat409> a typo
[06:37] <Mayank> I think ritul its not for you
[06:37] <holymoly> .
[06:38] <BeepII> rat409:  directory?  sorry, I'm new at this.
[06:38] <Utalcn2me> ritul, less /etc/init.d/bluetooth and see if the service is enabled, DUND_ENABLED=0...HIDD_ENABLED=0
[06:39] <ritul>  okay
[06:39] <Rat409> BeepII: desktop or whereever the file is
[06:40] <Mayank> Utalcn2me if its not there you can manually restart this
[06:40] <Rat409> b4l7424r: try adding noauto after defaults
[06:40] <Mayank> this will not help ritul
[06:40] <ookami_digital> hey anyone know a good channel to ask about image conversions? Im trying to figure out how to change svg to png.
[06:40] <Mayank> any luck
[06:41] <BeepII> Rat409: So I type that into the terminal?  like this?
[06:41] <BeepII> chmod +x it desktop/filename.run
[06:41] <unop> ookami_digital, just convert the files or do something to them while converting?
[06:41] <ookami_digital> just convert it over so i can work it in photoshop :(
[06:41] <Rat409> BeepII: ls -l if its not marked exec chmod +x filename.file-extension then ./ filename.file-extension
[06:42] <unop> ookami_digital, if you have imagemagick this command works.    convert file.svg  file.png  # but you might lose background transparency, in which case you might need -background transparent
[06:42] <Rat409> as in ./reallylogname.runcd to the fo;der containing said file first
[06:43] <pc04> dd
, problem is im in windows :( \
[06:43] <pc04> uu
[06:43] <unop> ookami_digital, sudo aptitude install imagemagick # to install imagemagick
[06:43] <ookami_digital> :(
[06:43] <unop> ookami_digital, so what are you doing there?
[06:43] <unop> ookami_digital, image magick is available for windows too -- so i guess you can use the same command there too
[06:44] <ookami_digital> oh? ok i will download. is it free?
[06:44] <bastid_raZor> i'm planning on doing an upgrade to 8.04 from 7.10. i have several KDE apps installed (ktorrent k3b etc..) plus avant window navigator.. i know avant is now a package installed by default in 8.04. should i remove them before upgrading? kde apps are 3.5 .. will 8.04 be adding kde 4.0 apps? should i remove the current kde apps and reinstall after the upgrade?
[06:44] <unop> ookami_digital, it is free on linux, it might not be on windows - have a check
[06:44] <unop> ookami_digital, remember, this channel only supports ubuntu :)
[06:44] <b4l7424r> Rat409, thanks for the suggestion, but it occured to me that i could just comment out the whole line, no?
[06:45] <Rat409>  b4l7424r  yes indeed
[06:45] <chalcedony> bastid_raZor i'm still trying to recover from that upgrade, good luck and think 100 times first.
[06:45] <b4l7424r> ok, i'll try that and reboot
[06:46] <bastid_raZor> chalcedony; it didn't go so well? how so?
[06:46] <chalcedony> bastid_raZor i still have no sound, you can't get flash to work
[06:46] <ookami_digital> both links for windows version are down :( http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows
[06:46] <chalcedony> my screen resolution is messed and the fonts..
[06:47] <ookami_digital> know any other apps that might help me convert SVG to PNG? ..
[06:47] <snarkster> why would you need the windows version?? pf all things???
[06:47] <chalcedony> i had LOTS of trouble with open office
[06:47] <bastid_raZor> ookami_digital; gimp
[06:47] <Utalcn2me> bastid_raZor, i would definitely delete some .??? files in your home directory except for a select few so they can rebuild from the new install
[06:47] <buntunub> bastic_raZor: the upgrade should go fine but pay attention to the messages and popup messages and make sure you understand your config setups
[06:47] <bastid_raZor> chalcedony; well, i had planned on doing a fresh install then the long effort of tweaking the desktop again.  i just don't extra storage for backups.
[06:48] <chalcedony> bastid_raZor if you have workfiles or something you can't duplicate save them.. go buy a new drive .. don't jsut do it
[06:48] <buntunub> you can always do a fresh install and remap your old /home partition
[06:48] <bastid_raZor> from the sounds of things i should get the available space for backups then do a fresh install.. that
[06:49] <BeepII> Rat409:  it keeps saying no such file or directory.
[06:49] <Flannel> ookami_digital: Use inkscape, open it, export it to png
[06:49] <BeepII> Do I need to explicitly type desktop?
[06:49] <bastid_raZor> chalcedony; right.. i've been needing to convince myself i really need that TB drive.
[06:49] <Rat409> BeepII: gnome-terminal ,cd to that folder
[06:49] <Rat409> or sh fullpathand filename maybe
[06:50] <snarkster> do i need to keep totem if i install mplayer?
[06:50] <Fryguy--> snarkster: no
[06:50] <unop> ookami_digital, http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=24099&package_id=47692
[06:50] <snarkster> fryguy thank you
[06:50] <tbchk> hi people, someone know c++ programming on gnu/linux ?
[06:50] <Fryguy--> tbchk: i do, but this is the wrong channel, try ##c or ##c++, or #programming
[06:50] <Rat409> BeepII: as in cd /home/BeepII/Desktop then ./bla.run
[06:51] <tbchk> ok thanks
[06:51] <bastid_raZor> chalcedony; i currently have ff2 and ff3 installed.. ff3 does not have working flash.. ff2 works just fine though.. possibly install the ff2 to get it temporarily working
[06:52] <unop> bastid_raZor, ff3 has working flash :)
[06:52] <ubuntu__> can anyone help me how do i find out the username for my computer i forgot it and cant log in
[06:52] <snarkster> chalcedony I have ff3 installed and everything works just fine
[06:52] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> cd /home
[06:52] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> ls
[06:52] <Fryguy--> ubuntu__: look at /etc/passwd
[06:52] <ookami_digital> Thanks guys!!!! Gimp will allow me to edit the way i need!
[06:52] <ubuntu__> cd /home?
[06:52] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> for list of users
[06:52] <BeepII> Rat409: oh, you mean move it to the desktop
[06:52] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> guys nees to login?
[06:53] <ubuntu__> ya i dont know the user name
[06:53] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> 'cd /home

[06:53] <okasa> hey, so i'm unable to get audio output out of VLC in 8.04, other players i have tried have audio (vlc output works with integrated audio, but am attempting with audigy 2 pci card)
[06:53] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> then do a ls command
[06:53] <ubuntu__> switched loginscreens and it didnt saveit like it did b4
[06:53] <Rat409> BeepII: you must know where you put it,cd=change directory to one containing your file
[06:53] <unop> ls ~ # quite simply
[06:53] <Fryguy--> unop: ls /home you mean
[06:54] <unop> my bad
[06:54] <snarkster> ` IS HOME ISNT IT?
[06:54] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> well that might not work if he cant login at all?
[06:54] <snarkster> sorry didnt mean to yell
[06:54] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> try logging in as root
[06:54] <snarkster> good luck with that
[06:54] <Fryguy--> snarkster: ~ is the currently logged in users home dir
[06:54] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> home containts users
[06:54] <Fryguy--> PROTECT_YA_NECK: guarantee he doesn't know roots password
[06:54] <snarkster> ah right duh
[06:54] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> you can reset them
[06:55] <Fryguy--> PROTECT_YA_NECK: right
[06:55] <unop> PROTECT_YA_NECK, not recommended tho
[06:55] <Flannel> PROTECT_YA_NECK: He shouldn't.  But the recovery console will accomplish it.
[06:55] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> <teacher use to say, if you can touch it you can own it
[06:55] <unop> PROTECT_YA_NECK, yes, but it is not necessary to own it in that way
[06:55] <Fryguy--> PROTECT_YA_NECK: not necessarily true
[06:55] <bastid_raZor> unop; might i ask how upgraded to 8.04 or did you start with a fresh install?
[06:55] <Fryguy--> PROTECT_YA_NECK: you can touch a file that you have group access to, but you can't chown it
[06:55] <snarkster> hey a houston boy.. I just moved from there 6 months ago... hows the weather?
[06:56] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> it is a expression, most cases this is true
[06:56] <unop> bastid_raZor, i never do fresh installs
[06:56] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> fairly debatable though
[06:56] <Fryguy--> PROTECT_YA_NECK: also it's often not true for nfs mounts
[06:56] <unop> bastid_raZor, i've been upgrading all the way from edgy
[06:56] <Flannel> Fryguy--: I imagine he was referring to physical access to the machine
[06:56] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> yes
[06:56] <Fryguy--> Flannel: and I imagine he was referring to the touch command
[06:57] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> if you can touch the machine, you may control it
[06:57] <bastid_raZor> unop; just fixing the issues that come up as you upgrade.. did you have many issues from your upgrade?
[06:57] <BeepII> rat409: ok, I got that.  (took me long enough. x.x)  so now I do the chmod thing?
[06:57] <okasa> has anyone else had problems getting audio to work on vlc using a pci sound card?
[06:57] <Fryguy--> PROTECT_YA_NECK: that's not necessarily true either
[06:57] <nomadwu> hi
[06:57] <snarkster> hahaha if the machine is physically in your possession then you can touch it QED you own it.
[06:57] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> interesting to ponder though
[06:57] <Rat409> BeepII: try ls -l first if you see no x then chmod it yes
[06:57] <unop> bastid_raZor, well yea, quite a handful each time -- but i don't run a full gnome desktop, so i don't run into as many problems
[06:58] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> i love the concept of gaining access to a machine i am in front of
[06:58] <Fryguy--> PROTECT_YA_NECK: encrypted system drive on a machine with no removable media is pretty hard to take control of and do something meaningful with
[06:58] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> very debatable
[06:58] <unop> !ot
[06:58] <jc__> Mayank: tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org both with and without -plow and -phigh and we still can't get the monitor resolution higher then 800x600
[06:59] <EugenMayer> hello, with an t5500 core dou and a 2.6.26-rc6 kernel i want to undervolt and be able to clock my CPU. For the undervolt-kernel patches i know the path, but in the package list are tons of cpufreq tools. Whichi one is to use ?
[06:59] <unop> jc_, you might need to force xorg to use a higher resolution by editing the xorg.conf file
[06:59] <unop> jc__, ^^
[07:00] <jc__> unop: we've tried editing the xorg file directly and still no good
[07:00] <unop> jc__, and what happens when you do that?
[07:00] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> or reconfigure x
[07:00] <jc__> unop: we only get 800x600 ad 640x480 as resoluiton choices
[07:01] <iTush> what's ubuntu?
[07:01] <unop> jc__, what kind of video adapter do you have?
[07:01] <unop> !ubuntu | iTush
[07:01] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> ubuntu is a open source operating system
[07:01] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> debian based
[07:01] <iTush> o
[07:01] <iTush> is it good or shit?
[07:01] <jc__> unop: nvidia 7300
[07:01] <unop> !language | iTush
[07:02] <iTush> k
[07:02] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> jc try to reconfigure x
[07:02] <Fryguy--> iTush: it's pretty bad
[07:02] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> i assume you dont have the non supported nvidia driver installed?
[07:02] <BeepII> rat409:  This is what I got:
[07:02] <BeepII> chmod -x VIA_
[07:02] <jc__> PROTECT_YA_NECK: we've tried that and every time the result is the same, only 800x600
[07:03] <BeepII> ooops.
[07:03] <BeepII> gonna try that again
[07:03] <iTush> kk
[07:03] <Rat409> BeepII: chmod +x filename.run then ./filename.run
[07:03] <iTush> thanks
[07:03] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> one sec, grabbing link for help forum
[07:03] <stephen> hello

[07:03] <akuma55__> whats new guys
[07:03] <BeepII> Rat409: it said bash: -: command not found
[07:03] <jc__> unop: no I'll take a look at it now
[07:03] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> jc, try this link here for newer nvidia cards: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual
[07:04] <stephen> i just upgraded from ubuntu 7.1 to the newest version and I can no longer use my wireless connection... can anybody help me
[07:04] <akuma55__> im loveing this ubuntu server
[07:04] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> worked for my 8600 card
[07:04] <Utalcn2me> BeepII, the first line in your file should have #!/bin/bash
[07:04] <jc__> unop: here is my current xorg file:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/25624/
[07:04] <Rat409> BeepII: you probly need build-essential
[07:04] <unop> Utalcn2me, assuming it is a bash script - but do you know that?
[07:05] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg command works for reconfiguring x
[07:05] <unop> PROTECT_YA_NECK, he's already done that apparently
[07:05] <stephen> i just upgraded from ubuntu 7.1 to the newest version and I can no longer use my wireless connection... can anybody help me
[07:05] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> if you edit the xorg file you must restart gdm or kdm
[07:05] <unop> you need to restart the DM anyway
[07:05] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> hopefully he is not using the machine
[07:05] <Rat409> BeepII:  a .run is usually a binary installer
[07:05] <stephen> has anybody else had problems with there wireless adapters in the new ubuntu
[07:05] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> that would suck
[07:06] <JuNiOx> hi, I'm looking for some program to get only the title from some pages... I tried 'lynx' with -dump option, then some greps .. without success, does anyone know how to do that?
[07:06] <Flannel> stephen: What card do you have, what were you using to connect before? (ndiswrapper?) etc.  We'll need more information
[07:06] <BeepII> rat409: yes
[07:06] <stephen> i think it is an atheros ... im not sure on the model
[07:06] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> stephen i have been using the same pcmcia card for 2 years
[07:06] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> in my dell latititude 110l
[07:06] <farhadi> hi all, how can I copy all files in a folder to another folder while existing files were not overwritten (using terminal)
[07:07] <BeepII> rat409:  ok, I see what I did wrong.  if I don't type -| to start a new line, the first part works.
[07:07] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> file names must be different
[07:07] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> wow i feel like i am working
[07:07] <BeepII> but then it says ./filename.run doesn't exist.
[07:07] <stephen> flanel it was an atheros and i was using the default connection browser in ubuntu
[07:07] <jc__> unop: going to give those things a try will let you know the outcome ....
[07:07] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> goodluck jc
[07:08] <unop> jc__, ok, hope it works
[07:08] <stephen> any reason why it would just quit working after i did the automatic upgrade
[07:08] <Utalcn2me> BeepII, try giving it the full path
[07:08] <BeepII> Utalcn2me:  what does the full path start with?
[07:09] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> depends on how you upgraded
[07:09] <BeepII> I mean, like, home/desktop/whatever or what?
[07:09] <Flannel> JuNiOx: wget URL -O - | grep "\<title\>.*</title\>" -
[07:09] <JuNiOx> Flannel, tks dude... tried it also, however the server does not allow me to wget pages =/
[07:09] <WNz{afk}> Hey guys. What file is the shortcuts (such as XF86AudioPlay) defined in?
[07:09] <JuNiOx> 403, forbidden
[07:10] <Flannel> JuNiOx: actually, you'll want to add -q to that.
[07:10] <Utalcn2me> BeepII, how about bash /home/you/filename
[07:10] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> what do you mean by shortcuts?
[07:10] <WhoNeedszzz> keyboard shortcuts
[07:10] <chuy_max> stephen, check if you get access point signal with kwifimanager, otherwise, your driver might not be working, or not loaded
[07:10] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> symbolic links are links to other files; aka shortcuts
[07:10] <Flannel> stephen: doesn't show up in lspci or lsusb?
[07:10] <chuy_max> or not connected :p
[07:10] <stephen> sec
[07:11] <stephen> im a newb
[07:11] <WhoNeedszzz> PROTECT_YA_NECK: ...irrelevant
[07:11] <Flannel> JuNiOx: Well if you output the HTML and pipe it to that grep, you'll get it.  However you manage to obtain the HTML
[07:11] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> yes his message was late
[07:11] <unop> JuNiOx, wget -q google.com -O - | perl -nle 'print /<title>(.*?)</i'
[07:11] <JuNiOx> hum... let me check
[07:12] <ubuntu__> ok how do i find out my username so i can login lol
[07:12] <stephen> yes it shows up in lspci
[07:12] <Flannel> ubuntu__: You're on a liveCD, right?
[07:12] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> everyone is ubuntu on live cd
[07:12] <Fryguy--> ubuntu__: look at /etc/password, or ls /home.  You've been instructed how to do this already
[07:12] <ubuntu__> now i am
[07:12] <Fryguy--> PROTECT_YA_NECK: yes
[07:12] <Flannel> PROTECT_YA_NECK: Thats not the only thing you could be, and isn't the only time you could be either.

[07:13] <Timmy201> Hey can anyone tell me why I can't change permissions on a FAT32 partition of the hard drive with just files/folders on it? I use the sudo command and it appears to work but the permissions don't change... Thanks.
[07:13] <unop> ubuntu__, now that you are on the live CD? have you chrooted into the system?
[07:13] <Flannel> ubuntu__: You want to look in the home directory on your actual harddrive.  Which isn't /home/ but home/ inside f your mounted harddrive
[07:13] <Fryguy--> Timmy201: fat32 doesn't have file permissions, at least not unix file permissions

[07:13] <WhoNeedszzz> Ok so to reword my question. How do I redifine what XF86AudioPlay and such shortcuts do?
[07:13] <stephen> thats what it says

[07:15] <WhoNeedszzz> stephen, how exactly did you install it?
[07:15] <ubuntu__> unop no i have not chrooted
[07:15] <Flannel> ubuntu__: You don't need to chroot, just browse to it.
[07:15] <stephen> through synaptic package manager
[07:15] <Utalcn2me> BeepII, you doing a bash script, or python maybe?
[07:15] <stephen> whoneedszzz , through synaptic package manager
[07:15] <BeepII> Utalcn2me: not that I know of. . .
[07:16] <BeepII> I've never used Python though the cd  looks familiar from a C++ lab I had a couple months ago
[07:16] <Aaron__> hey is there any other software like wicd?
[07:16] <BeepII> I don't know if that's bash though
[07:17] <unop> BeepII, use this command to find out.   file -s /path/to/file
[07:17] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> new distro changed how scripts are run?
[07:17] <WhoNeedszzz> stephen, there's the problem. download latest tar pkg and run make, sudo make install, and sudo modprobe ath_pci
[07:17] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> 8.04or >
[07:17] <greeg> hi
[07:17] <ubuntu__> flannel your confuseing were do i brows n for what
[07:17] <Utalcn2me> BeepII, i would try to run whatever is in that file from a command line to see where it's failing
[07:17] <greeg> when i run a particular program from the command line, and i know this program is not the only program that emmits this error message. i get this --> Error: Unable to initialize gtk, is DISPLAY set properly?
[07:17] <stephen> ok thx
[07:18] <greeg> i tried it as root, i tried it as a regular user account
[07:18] <unop> ubuntu__, mount your harddrive up and browse it
[07:18] <greeg> i need to run this form the command line becuase im scripting when in the day this program can run.
[07:18] <Flannel> ubuntu__: You should have your harddrive in places, if not, check in /meda
[07:18] <Fryguy--> gregL: is X11 running
[07:18] <Flannel> ubuntu__: /media that is
[07:18] <jc__> unop: PROTECT_YA_NECK:  ok I've tried the stuff in that post, and now I'm getting an overrange error? any thoughts?
[07:18] <jc__> and the monitor just goes blank now
[07:19] <unop> jc__, meaning you have set values too high, try something lower
[07:19] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> over range?
[07:19] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> did you installl driver from command line?
[07:19] <unop> jc__, press CTRL+ALT+F1 to get to a console - from where you can kill X
[07:19] <ubuntu__> unop mounted now look for what
[07:19] <unop> ubuntu__, find the /home directory and look under it
[07:19] <BeepII> Utalcn2me: It's failing at finding the file...
[07:19] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> if so, did you change dpkg configuration for monitor?
[07:20] <ubuntu__> it has the names but not the passwords
[07:20] <Fryguy--> ubuntu__: you can't get the password
[07:20] <Fryguy--> ubuntu__: you can only change it
[07:20] <unop> ubuntu__, so you know your username but not your password? is that it?
[07:20] <jc__> unop: PROTECT_YA_NECK ok what should I do then to lower the it
[07:20] <BeepII> Utalcn2me: oooo I got it
[07:20] <BeepII> finally
[07:20] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to reconfigure monitor
[07:20] <Flannel> ubuntu__: You originally asked to find out the username, not the password.
[07:20] <unop> jc__, have a look at your xorg.conf
[07:21] <BeepII> all hail the dir command
[07:21] <Utalcn2me> cool :P
[07:21] <ubuntu__> ohhh ok theres folders in there one says   mylogin but i dont remember ever nameing it that
[07:21] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> change to appropriate setting the monitor needs
[07:21] <ubuntu__> i know the password
[07:21] <jc__> PROTECT_YA_NECK: I've done that a few time and only ended up with 800x600
[07:21] <Mrevox11> Is fry guy here?
[07:21] <BeepII> . . . but it's not supported by 8.04 after all
[07:21] <jc__> unop: what am I looking for?
[07:21] <Fryguy--> yes
[07:21] <Josdell> is ubunubi here?
[07:21] <BeepII> Thanks Utalcn2me & Rat409
[07:22] <ubunubi> josdell:: i was afk, but it beeps when you say my name :P
[07:22] <Aaron_> hey is there any other software like wicd?
[07:22] <WhoNeedszzz> How do I redefine keyboard shortcuts such as XF86AudioPlay?
[07:22] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> considering the proprietary driver was install, and stop gdm before doing it?
[07:22] <whyameye> has automatix been taken down?
[07:22] <unop> jc__, Depth and Modes in the Screen Section
[07:22] <Flannel> whyameye: thankfully, yes.
[07:22] <tonyyarusso> whyameye: Yes.
[07:22] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> then followed other directions for preinstall
[07:22] <Fryguy--> whyameye: automatix has been deprecated for a while now, don't use it
[07:22] <Mrevox11> Hello Fry guy. I did a few trial and errors and I poked and prodded around. Now I am able to view a list of available wireless connections. But when I enter the passkey to mine ubuntu just asks me for the passkey again and wont connect to the wifi.
[07:22] <Mrevox11> can you help?
[07:22] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> during driver install, it rewrites new xorg file
[07:23] <Aaron_> hey is there any other software like wicd?
[07:23] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> you must have gdm off to do so
[07:23] <Fryguy--> Mrevox11: no
[07:23] <Josdell> ubunubi: thank you, I installed the Ubuntu onto the first partition of the USB drive and GRUB onto the USB Device itself and
[07:23] <whyameye> I haven't seen much else work as a flash player on 64 bit Gutsy but whatever. I know anybody who says anything positive about automatix gets flamed here. I was just asking if the website was gone.
[07:23] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> make sure you not using the display when writing to it jc
[07:23] <Mrevox11> I tried putting the setting on "Shared Key" but it just freezes.
[07:24] <Fryguy--> whyameye: flash works fine from the standard repositories, even 64-bit
[07:24] <Josdell> ubunubi:: now I need to edit the menu.lst of the GRUB file, i need to change it to hd0 right?
[07:24] <WhoNeedszzz> Aaron_: why bother, wicd is great
[07:24] <WhoNeedszzz> Aaron_, what's your problem with wicd?
[07:24] <whyameye> Fryguy--, it didn't for me, which is why I tried Automatix.
[07:24] <ubunubi> Josdell: you shouldn't need to edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst at all...it should've been written by the install program
[07:24] <WhoNeedszzz> How do I redefine keyboard shortcuts such as XF86AudioPlay?
[07:26] <Josdell> ubunubi: I had to last time I did this because in GRUB hd0 stands for the device GRUB is installed on I believe. SO I need to change the root for Ubuntu to hd0 from hd1 right?
[07:26] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> think there is some programs that use the windows key with additional key strokes on some programs whoneeds
[07:26] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> that would be a good place to start
[07:27] <Flannel> WhoNeedszzz: you want to change what that key does? or which physical key calls XFAP?
[07:27] <apinunt> ubuntu 7.04 - My usb ports seem to encounter a problem when moving large files to a memory stick or external hard drive, and often I see a message as though I am trying to remove the device while it is busy, when I am not, causing the file transfer to cease.

[07:31] <jc__> how do you kill X?
[07:32] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> gdm jc?
[07:32] <unop> jc__, sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop
[07:32] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> sudo /ect/init.d/gdm stop
[07:32] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> sudo /ect/init.d/gdm start
[07:32] <unop> jc__, or just press CTRL+ALT+Backspace
[07:32] <unop> within X i.e.
[07:32] <jc__> unop: PROTECT_YA_NECK thats what I did bummer, I was hopping I was not killing X correctly
[07:33] <WhoNeedszzz> Flannel: I don't want to go through all that, my key is recognized in keyboard shortcuts but i want to change XF86... to my own script
[07:33] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> ctr alt backspace will log off the current session
[07:33] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> essentially killing it
[07:33] <b4l7424r> i made my windows partition unmounted by default but i would also like to keep it from showing up in nautilus, is that possible?
[07:33] <WhoNeedszzz> PROTECT_YA_NECK: that kills everything without warning (doesn't save either)
[07:33] <unop> PROTECT_YA_NECK, same as stopping the GDM
[07:33] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> yes
[07:33] <q_a_z_steve> Can anyone help me get my nvidia card to work correctly with a laptop and external display?
[07:33] <jc__> unop: PROTECT_YA_NECK I am still getting the over range error even though I've lowered the resultion to 1024x768 and the depth to 16
[07:33] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> not same as stopping
[07:33] <WhoNeedszzz> q_a_z_steve: sure
[07:34] <WhoNeedszzz> q_a_z_steve: what card?
[07:34] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> over range sounds like it is wrong monitor settings
[07:34] <unop> jc__, does not look like you have the right drivers installed for your card
[07:34] <q_a_z_steve> WhoNeedszzz: one sec
[07:34] <q_a_z_steve> [GeForce Go 7400]
[07:34] <jc__> unop: I installed the nvidia driver using envyNG
[07:34] <q_a_z_steve> WhoNeedszzz: [GeForce Go 7400]
[07:34] <Flannel> WhoNeedszzz: Yes, Thats in the very beginning of that page, and the very end
[07:35] <lameck> hi
[07:35] <unop> PROTECT_YA_NECK, stopping the DM - does not give the user enough time to properly logoff either - it is essentially the same as a CTRL+ALT+Backspace
[07:35] <q_a_z_steve> WhoNeedszzz: right now I'm stuck without either working correctly
[07:35] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> what steps did you do for driver jc?
[07:35] <WhoNeedszzz> q_a_z_steve: ok simple. Download the proper binary file from nvidia.com and kill gdm and then install the binary
[07:35] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> stop or the otherway will kill session
[07:35] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> so yes jc

[07:36] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual
[07:36] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> should be the right one

[07:37] <Ahadiel> q_a_z_steve, ./filename.run

[07:37] <jc__> unop: http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=798881
[07:37] <unop> q_a_z_steve, depends, you really ought to be following instructions from the author/vendor -- a .run file could be anything
[07:37] <WhoNeedszzz> q_a_z_steve: kill gdm, and then sudo path/to/runfile
[07:38] <q_a_z_steve> What's the proper way to kill gdm? sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop Right?
[07:38] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> the forum is pretty straight forward

[07:40] <ranfea> blah
[07:40] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> very confusing max
[07:40] <WhoNeedszzz> Does anyone know how to redefine pre-defined shortcuts in Keyboard Shortcuts?
[07:41] <DigitalNinja> chuy_max: Try "make uninstall"
[07:41] <unop> jc__, try not using the xorg.conf -- see what happens.   sudo mv -vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf{,.bak} && sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[07:41] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> i think he means multiple apps compiled from source
[07:41] <chuy_max> ok DigitalNinja , let me try that
[07:41] <dlee> WhoNeedszzz: it depends on the desktop environment you're using
[07:41] <Flannel> WhoNeedszzz: gnome-keyboard-bindings should allow you to add new ones
[07:42] <WhoNeedszzz> dlee, gnome
[07:42] <Flannel> WhoNeedszzz: If not, you'll want to fire up gconf and we can add it manually
[07:42] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> gnome is awsome
[07:42] <dlee> Flannel is your answer
[07:42] <thiefness> Excuse me, but for whatever reason since I installed ubuntu hardy heron I have been getting terrible terrible internet speeds over my wireless but have no idea why, can anyone help?

[07:43] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> is there a firewall there thief?
[07:43] <jc__> unop: sorry confused, don't you need xorg.conf for x to start? what doesn't md -vi /etc/X!!/xrog.conf{,.bak} rename the xorg.conf fot xorg.conf.bak so we'll be restarting x without the xorg.conf file?
[07:43] <dlee> ubottu: what do you mean?

[07:44] <dlee> :(
[07:44] <oddalot> anyone know?
[07:44] <thiefness> PROTECT_YA_NECK: there shouldn't be unless hardy comes with one turned on by default, but i don't believe it does
[07:44] <Flannel> chalcedony: What?
[07:44] <ziggy_> i have fully went thro all these steps on this site and my Kiba Dock isn't working http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=554127
[07:44] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> yes jc. you need the file, and make a backup prior to make changes to it
[07:44] <unop> jc__, that's mv not md :) and yes, the idea is not to have a xorg.conf - xorg can work without one
[07:44] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> I dont think it has a firewall by default
[07:44] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> i use guarddog
[07:44] <jc__> unop: ok I'll give it a try
[07:45] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> there is firestarter for gnome
[07:45] <thiefness> ports are open on router as well
[07:45] <unop> PROTECT_YA_NECK, no, the new xorg does not need a config file, it tries it's best to configure itself automagically
[07:45] <DigitalNinja> ziggy_ Go Kiba Dock! I'm in Gnome and using "Avant Window Navigator"
[07:45] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> i didnt know they changed that
[07:45] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> still thinking of old school ubuntu
[07:45] <Flannel> ziggy_: Your best bet is to ask in a thread referencing that one.  (I'd say ask in that thread, but its read only)
[07:45] <WhoNeedszzz> Flannel: ah, cool, thanks
[07:46] <ziggy_> well how do i install Avant Windows Navigator
[07:46] <DigitalNinja> ziggy_: Look for it in Synaptic
[07:46] <ziggy_> and is there a video i can watch like you tube to understand how its being done
[07:46] <Flannel> ziggy_: Its in the repositories, or you can install a newer one through PPA: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=762363
[07:46] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> most likely the videos on you tube are people showing off their work, not tutorials
[07:47] <ziggy_> ive done these steps befor there wasn't anything on Avant then i was told to goto a site
[07:47] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> best place for learning is forums
[07:47] <ziggy_> that didn't help
[07:47] <Flannel> ziggy_: Check that ubuntuforums link, it'll walk you through it
[07:47] <DigitalNinja> ziggy_: I'm trying to figure out how screencasts are made. So far I havn't had much luck on that or I would create one for you.
[07:47] <chalcedony> how many stories do you hear that go"before I upgraded to Hardy.." well.. i think it changed my screen resolution, i was using ~$ xvidtune to adjust after every reboot.. now I don't have to and we had to change the refresh rate. BUT in xchat and open office it's harder to see the letters and punctuation. So i tried changing the font in Xhchat and now it's really messed up. How do i tell what my screen

[07:48] <DigitalNinja> [Michelangelo] Just boot off the CD and do an install. You don't need Windows any way.
[07:48] <jc__> unop: ok removed xorg.conf and restarted X, now we've got 800x600 resolution, now what?
[07:48] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> chalcedony, depends on screen size, the manufacturer always will specify the default safe settings on their site?
[07:48] <zvacet> [The_Oracle] : that should be enough
[07:49] <Flannel> [The_Oracle]: Do you plan on hibernating?
[07:49] <[Michelangelo]> DigitalNinja: I need it
[07:49] <scabootssca> How is the size of the swap calculated? like by the auto-partioner
[07:49] <[The_Oracle]> Flannel:  I might hibernate
[07:49] <DigitalNinja> [Michelangelo] LOL!
[07:49] <WhoNeedszzz> Flannel: ok that just adds some key shortcut, but what tells the key what to do when pressed?
[07:49] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> oracle, 1/2 or ram or less, depending on what the machine is doing
[07:49] <Flannel> [The_Oracle]: Then you'll need at least 4GB

[07:50] <WhoNeedszzz> Flannel: ...i'm confused. I see nowhere to define my script
[07:51] <WhoNeedszzz> Flannel: i want my script to launch when the key is pressed
[07:51] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> jc, i would go to default display, and nackup that file before proceeding to custom settings
[07:51] <DigitalNinja> How do I create a screencast?
[07:51] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> backup*
[07:52] <bazhang> !screencast
[07:52] <WhoNeedszzz> Flannel: take volume_down for example. Where is volume_down defined?

[07:52] <microwaver> Hello, I'm experiencing a 'jitter' on the right hand side of my laptop screen
[07:52] <blind1> 1st time "check CD for defects" livedvd function found error in 1 file, next scan it found errors in 3 files... nero cdspeed dont see problems with disc... is linux THAT bad?
[07:52] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> thief: you have a firewall
[07:52] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> ?
[07:53] <Flannel> WhoNeedszzz: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/assign-custom-shortcut-keys-on-ubuntu-linux/
[07:53] <thiefness> no, just a router
[07:53] <unop> blind1, maybe it is nero to blame not the other way around :)
[07:53] <oddalot> microwaver is it a black image with small lines on that side of the screen?
[07:53] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> and your losing 300 kbps?
[07:53] <thiefness> it's a clean update from gutsy
[07:53] <thiefness> im losing 9300 kbps
[07:53] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> netstat -a to check active network connections
[07:53] <[Michelangelo]> DigitalNinja, can you help me?
[07:54] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> that doesnt sound right thief
[07:54] <bazhang> !md5 | blind1 and burn at lower speed
[07:54] <microwaver> oddalot it's the most clear when I'm looking at my desktop
[07:54] <thiefness> would you like to see the created images from the speed tester PROTECT_YA_NECK ?
[07:54] <najeeb> hi pen,
[07:54] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> are you on the pc at the moment?
[07:54] <microwaver> oddalot, you could describe it as the refreshrate you experience with CRT screens, but only on the right hand side of the screen, in the upper corner
[07:55] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> http://www.bandwidthplace.com/
[07:55] <thiefness> yes PROTECT_YA_NECK, here is the image from my pc: http://www.speedtest.net/result/292983734.png here is the image from my laptop: http://www.speedtest.net/result/292983139.png
[07:55] <chalcedony> Flannel: unop anyone: this is what i get for screen resolution, http://paste.ubuntu.com/25634/ i also made a screenshot:  http://img92.imageshack.us/my.php?image=20080707fontsscreenshotla2.png
[07:56] <chalcedony> how do i fix it so I can see my letters and punctuation?
[07:56] <[Michelangelo]> Wubi doesn't work with Vaio VGN-AR31S!
[07:56] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> not sure i would blame the os for the problem considering the other variables involved
[07:56] <blind1> bazhang: do you have reliable source for "burn at lower speed" idea? i keep hearing this BS (in my opinion) from people.
[07:56] <Jabop> anyone familiar with KVpnc?
[07:56] <oddalot> microwaver i was only saying this because if i look at a black image with lines really close together my screen starts to pulsate strangely
[07:57] <[Michelangelo]> after using the wubi in Vista I can see the folders
[07:57] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> virtual private network connection jab?
[07:57] <thiefness> i know it's the OS, the OS is ubuntu hardy heron, my other computer is using it fine, I'm not sure why I'm having this problem =x
[07:57] <bazhang> blind1, you need help? that is well documented.
[07:57] <blind1> bazhang: can you point to where it is documented?
[07:57] <WhoNeedszzz> Flannel: thanks
[07:57] <Flannel> blind1: It is important.
[07:57] <[Michelangelo]> but after the reboot is not work
[07:57] <[Michelangelo]> Error 14
[07:57] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> networking is very complex thief, check all factors involved
[07:57] <amirman> how do i change the splash screen that comes up after the login screen? i've done it before but now i can't find it
[07:58] <jeffimperial> does any of you know of an iTalc .deb package that works with dapper?
[07:58] <unop> chalcedony, so what's the problem?  fonts in xchat?
[07:58] <Fryguy--> amirman: system appearances menu
[07:58] <chalcedony> unop: i think it's more likely screen resolution than just Xchat fonts
[07:58] <amirman> Fryguy--: thanks
[07:59] <chalcedony> as a side question is there a way to get standard american fonts because what i have seems to mostly be indian
[07:59] <thiefness> The same results on your site you provided protect, and yes I know, I'm a computer science major.
[07:59] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> arial black ect?
[07:59] <unop> chalcedony, is it just xchat that you have problems with - kinda hard to ascertain from the screenshot
[07:59] <microwaver> oddalot, do you have a LCD or CRT screen?
[07:59] <blind1> Flannel: i dont see a point. why to make high speed devices and blank discs, if you should not burn at these speeds?
[07:59] <unop> have you got msttcorefonts installed?
[08:00] <Fryguy--> blind1: burning at higher speeds is usually fine, sometimes not. when it's not, you burn at a lower speed.  Sounds pretty simple to me
[08:00] <amirman> Fryguy--: i can't find it in appearance
[08:00] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> common sense blind
[08:00] <chalcedony> unop: xchat and open office .. just the letters are lighter and more vague, punctuation got less obvious, i can't tell , from .  or ; from :
[08:00] <Fryguy--> amirman: should be like 3rd tab or something
[08:00] <blind1> Fryguy--: ok i'll try that
[08:00] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> if you transfer data at high rates of speeds, expect data loss
[08:00] <[Michelangelo]> any help? or Idea?
[08:00] <Flannel> blind1: Who knows.  People don't always know whats best for them.
[08:00] <l815> when installing flash 10 what should I put for mozillas directory
[08:01] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> mozilla is in /usr/lib/mozilla by default
[08:01] <Flannel> blind1: If it makes you feel better, here's as third party as you're going to get: A story about MS warning about it: http://apcmag.com/burn_slower_or_risk_data_loss_warns_microsoft.htm
[08:01] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> may vary depends on browser
[08:01] <amirman> Fryguy--: it's not in there, the third tab is fonts, the splash screen is the one that comes up after login and before the desktop is loaded
[08:01] <l815> but when I enter that it says "please enter a valid directory" -_-
[08:01] <oddalot> lcd
[08:02] <Fryguy--> amirman: there is no screen that comes up between those 2 that i know of.  i can't help you, sorry.
[08:02] <jc__> unop: sorry it took so long, here are the results:  http://pastebin.com/f65ac9dd8
[08:02] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> did you install from source or deb?
[08:02] <blackrabbit> l815, /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/
[08:02] <blackrabbit> l815, or ~/.mozilla
[08:02] <Fryguy--> l815: you need to navigate to the plugins directory underneath there
[08:03] <l815> I just found an alternative install method ("cp libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins")
[08:03] <amirman> Fryguy--: oh nevermind then, there is a screen you can enable there and i have and i've changed it before but now i cant find or remember how i did it
[08:03] <Flannel> blind1: For video DVDs/audio CDs, etc.  A few bits lost here and there isn't usually the end of the world.
[08:03] <blackrabbit> l815, correct
[08:03] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> <i always install adobe flash from source, guaranteed to work
[08:03] <chalcedony> unop: if you are lookng at the screenshot, the copy of the Xchat on the left is the one i tried to *improve* the font on, i can't stand to look at it
[08:04] <l815> thanks
[08:04] <chalcedony> unop: click and it gets full sized, then you can (sort of) see what i mean
[08:04] <unop> chalcedony, can't you choose a slightly lower resolution?
[08:04] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> jc , did you go back to default or generic monitor
[08:04] <chalcedony> unop: how?
[08:04] <unop> chalcedony, gnome-display-properties i think
[08:04] <unop> jc__, gimme a minute
[08:04] <chalcedony> and which is higher and which is lower? unop
[08:05] <jc__> PROTECT_YA_NECK: thats without the xorg.conf file at all
[08:05] <blind1> Flannel: thanks... but maybe problem is just with specific (defective) drives and/or media?
[08:05] <jc__> unop: sure take your time :)
[08:05] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> and you get that error?
[08:05] <unop> chalcedony,  eh? are you serious? :)
[08:05] <clee-saan> Hi, i'm using the latest Ubuntu Lite, and i can't get youtube-like sites to work. I used the apt-get command to install gnash (free flash player), but it's still not working. What should i do ?
[08:05] <jc__> PROTECT_YA_NECK: no error this time but I can't get a resolution higher then 800x600
[08:05] <unop> chalcedony,  1024x1024 < 1024x7668
[08:05] <chalcedony> unop: er it's numbers? and where is 'gnome' ?
[08:05] <unop> etc
[08:05] <holycow> !ubuntu-lite
[08:06] <chalcedony> ahh
[08:06] <Fryguy--> clee-saan: install flashpplugin-nonfree
[08:06] <holycow> what is ubuntu lite?
[08:06] <chalcedony> ty unop
[08:06] <Flannel> blind1: If I remember correctly, it has to do with the way the data is cached/written at higher speeds.
[08:06] <unop> chalcedony, err, sorry, that was 768
[08:06] <clee-saan> holycow: a ubuntu for slow computers
[08:06] <clee-saan> Fryguy--: will try that
[08:06] <holycow> say what?
[08:06] <francis_> Hello , i have eth0 eth0:1 eth0:2 eth0:3 with ip addresses <IP_ADDRESS> , <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> but Ntop shows that all traffic is through <IP_ADDRESS> . I think i have a routing problem. Any Advice ??
[08:06] <Flannel> blind1: But, we're getting off topic.  We can continue in #ubuntu-offtopic if you'd like
[08:06] <chalcedony> unop ty
[08:06] <holycow> how does that even make sense, is this a new release inever heard of or is it just a repo someone is running somewhere?
[08:07] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> clee: you are missing flash if you cant view video
[08:07] <Fryguy--> francis_: what do you want to do?
[08:07] <jc__> PROTECT_YA_NECK: yes up to 1280x1024

[08:07] <francis_> Fryguy--, i have the interfaces because i run multiple instances of dansgaurdian and squid
[08:07] <lances> Hello everyone, I've run into a very very odd problem that I was hoping to get some help with.
[08:07] <holycow> you mean probably that you are just running xfce as a desktop environment or similar, yes?
[08:08] <Fryguy--> !anyone | lances
[08:08] <ziggy_> anyone understand
[08:08] <Fryguy--> ziggy_: why not just install avant from the ubuntu repositories
[08:08] <unop> jc_, ok, xorg is defaulting to the vesa driver here - what does this return?  lsmod | egrep -i "nvi|glx"
[08:09] <ziggy_> i did it error
[08:09] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> when in doubt? install from source.
[08:09] <Fryguy--> ziggy_: what error
[08:09] <ziggy_> sayed i had to make a folder
[08:09] <amirman> Fryguy--: he was saying "hello everyone", ubottu's factoid on anyone does not apply to that
[08:09] <lances> When set up my IPv6 tunnel through sixxs it breaks connectivity to a few websites that worked before I enabled IPV6
[08:09] <unop> ziggy_, you forgot part of the command there :)
[08:09] <unop> ziggy_, i.e. svn
[08:09] <kerin> I'm using Hardy (fully updated) and for some reason Wine won't report the size of my home partition (which is the partition my wine drive is on!) - however, it reports the root and NTFS partition sizes perfectly.
[08:09] <kerin> How do I fix this?
[08:09] <Fryguy--> amirman: he was asking for someone to help him with a problem.  did you read his entire statement?
[08:09] <ziggy_> ziggy@ziggy-desktop:~/AWN$ /Installs/avant
[08:09] <ziggy_> bash: /Installs/avant: No such file or directory
[08:10] <Fryguy--> ziggy_: just install it from ubuntus repository
[08:10] <lances> the sites still work from the gateway machine but no longer work to the natted machines behind it...
[08:10] <bazhang_> !awn
[08:10] <ziggy_> iggy@ziggy-desktop:~$ bzr checkout http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~awn-core/awn/trunk avant-window-navigator

[08:10] <ziggy_> bzr: ERROR: Unknown branch format: 'Bazaar pack repository format 1 (needs bzr 0.92)\n'
[08:10] <lances> it only affects some IPv4 sites but not all
[08:10] <bazhang_> ziggy_, any reason not install from repos
[08:10] <amirman> Fryguy--: the metaquestion factoid would have been more appropraite
[08:10] <ziggy_> yes
[08:10] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> <i need coffee, brb
[08:10] <ziggy_> i just wanted to show you that
[08:11] <Fryguy--> amirman: up for interpretation.  Is there a specific point to this?
[08:11] <ziggy_> what repos
[08:11] <rand0m> how can I make sure sure I am using the most up-to-date versions of Gnome
[08:11] <ziggy_> what is that
[08:11] <bazhang_> !repos | ziggy_
[08:11] <holycow> official ubuntu storage points of software
[08:11] <Fryguy--> amirman: he used the word "anyone" so I used the factoid anyone.  You are free to cause your own triggers if you would like
[08:11] <holycow> debian and ubuntu come with VAST libraries of free software
[08:11] <Fryguy--> rand0m: you don't, ubuntu makes that decision for you
[08:11] <holycow> ziggy_: this isn't windows,you don't usually hunt for random software on websites
[08:11] <rand0m> oh ok
[08:12] <lances> the strangest part is if I remove the sixxs tunnel from /etc/network/interfaces it no longer breaks certain IPv4 sites for the boxes behind the firewall.
[08:12] <lances> anyone have any ideas?
[08:12] <s3a> rand0m: type gdm --version in terminal and check the gnome website to see if the version u have is the latest
[08:12] <clee-saan> Fryguy--: i installed flashplugin-nonfree, it's still not working. There is a blank space where the video should be
[08:12] <Flannel> rand0m: Just make sure you're up to date with the Ubuntu repos (update manager will let you know)
[08:12] <Fryguy--> clee-saan: did you restart firefox
[08:12] <vlt> Hello. I installed Ubuntu 8.04. When I run `firefox` as user it doesn't start. I don't get any error message. Running as root works. Any idea what could be missing?
[08:12] <clee-saan> I did not
[08:12] <s3a> can someone help me compile plz?
[08:13] <ziggy_> aww man i thought i was running Leppord  10.5
[08:13] <ziggy_> x86
[08:13] <ziggy_> Lmao
[08:13] <Fryguy--> vlt: do you have plugins or anything installed?
[08:13] <bazhang_> clee-saan, what does about:plugins show in ff address bar
[08:13] <unop> holycow, it isn't his fault, someone suggested using the PPA to get the latest AWN
[08:13] <bazhang_> s3a, compile what
[08:13] <holycow> unop: ah, i see
[08:14] <s3a> bazhang_: ice cat 3
[08:14] <NemesisD> ugh, do you guys know how to get whatever process has a lock on alsa/pulseaudio/whatever to release it? this is becoming a real problem for me
[08:15] <s3a> bazhang_: i cded to the extracted tar archive then did ./configure and that alredy gave me an error
[08:15] <unop> s3a, icecat appears to be for debian only - do you have a specific reason for building it ?
[08:15] <s3a> unop: iceweasel is for debian
[08:15] <Fryguy--> s3a: need to know what the error is
[08:15] <LSD|Ninja> iceweasel is a joke
[08:15] <vlt> Fryguy--: Good idea ... I'll check. Maybe the plugins I installed when it ran as root created some files that are not readable for the user. Thank you ...
[08:16] <s3a> Fryguy--: http://pastebin.com/d620f8eea
[08:16] <Fryguy--> s3a: so then there is no configure script.  try 'make'
[08:16] <lances> anyone have any ideas why simply activating an IPv6 tunnel, and not even providing IPv6 connectivity to clients behind the gateway would break connectivity to certain websites for clients behind the gateway but the sites work fine on the gateway itself?
[08:16] <Fryguy--> s3a: or read the README that is in that directory, or INSTALL
[08:16] <Fryguy--> s3a: source almost always comes with documentation about how to compile it
[08:16] <arooni-mobile> whats a good fast launcher for ubuntu (you type a few letters of the name of the program you want to launch & it auto launches it)?
[08:17] <digitaltao> o_O anyone know of a good dreamweaver replacement for ubuntu?
[08:17] <Fryguy--> arooni-mobile: gnome-do
[08:17] <unop> s3a, are you sure the contents of the tarball were extracted properly ..  ls -l *
[08:17] <unop> arooni-mobile, gmrun
[08:17] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> if it doesnt have documents, it is not a good ideal to use it
[08:17] <arooni-mobile> what do you folks think of deskbar?
[08:18] <arooni-mobile> it seems to hav ea feature like that;  but its wayyyy slow
[08:18] <Fryguy--> arooni-mobile: try it and see if you like it
[08:18] <Fryguy--> arooni-mobile: so then don't use it, you've been given other options
[08:19] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> takes some time to get use to gnome
[08:19] <bazhang> !equivalents | digitaltao look here
[08:19] <lances> anyone able to help me with the IPv6 breaking NATing on certain websites over IPv4?
[08:19] <digitaltao> sweet action baz ;D
[08:19] <vlt> Hello. How can I install a Firefox Plugin for all users?
[08:19] <Fryguy--> vlt: you can't
[08:19] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> sorry lance, never got that far with networking
[08:20] <Flannel> vlt: Which plugin?
[08:20] <bazhang> lances, also ask in #networking
[08:20] <jakeg> anyone here use VMWare with a Ubuntu host and get timeout messages all the time?
[08:20] <lances> hmm... it's the damndest thing...
[08:20] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> usuallly they are shared if user us sharing same apps link vlt
[08:20] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> disagree fry
[08:20] <Fryguy--> PROTECT_YA_NECK: yah
[08:20] <Fryguy--> i'm wrong
[08:20] <vlt> Fryguy--: Are the plugin files stored in the user's .mozilla dir?
[08:20] <Fryguy--> i'm referring to addons
[08:20] <vlt> Flannel: NO_SCRIPT for example
[08:20] <arooni-mobile> Fryguy--, what key binding do you use for gnome-do ?
[08:20] <arooni-mobile> i very much like gnome-do ... great suggestion
[08:20] <lances> if I simply remove the tunnel from /etc/network/interfaces it no longer breaks the sites for clients behind the gateway...
[08:21] <Fryguy--> vlt: addons are stored on a per user basis in the users .mozilla or .firefox directory
[08:21] <lances> any ideas on where to ask?
[08:21] <Flannel> vlt: sudo apt-get install mozilla-noscript
[08:21] <Anza> how can I install windows xp on Virtualbox?
[08:21] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> networking irc if there is one
[08:21] <Fryguy--> Anza: see the virtualbox wiki for documentation
[08:21] <bazhang> ##networking
[08:21] <Fryguy--> Anza: just mount the cd and boot it
[08:21] <amirman> if you use the cp command does it automatically overwrite?
[08:21] <lances> thanks, I'll try that room.
[08:22] <Fryguy--> amirman: yes, by default, use -i if you don't want that behavior
[08:22] <bleck_work> thought i'd ask here too... i have a script that runs for about 5 hours.. if I run it manually, it completes successfully, if i run it from /etc/crontab, it runs about 1/4 way through and terminates without error.. just thinking cron may be terminating it.. anyone know if cron has like a process timeout or anything?
[08:22] <Fryguy--> amirman: see 'man cp' for more usage options
[08:22] <amirman> Fryguy--: thanks
[08:22] <vlt> Flannel: Aaah, thank you.
[08:22] <s3a> unop: icecat-3.0-g1-i386.tar.bz2 i right clicked and selected extract
[08:22] <Fryguy--> bleck_work: no
[08:22] <Anza> Fryguy--, I selected the .iso in that part of CD-DVD ROM
[08:22] <unop> s3a, do a ls in the directory to verify
[08:23] <bleck_work> Fryguy--: any idea what it could be? it fails every single time in cron and works every single time normally
[08:23] <s3a> unop: u mean just type ls in terminal?
[08:23] <amirman> anyone have any idea what the .asoundrc stuff on here is for http://wvarner.blogspot.com/2008/05/firefox-crashing-on-youtube-in-ubuntu.html i'm thinking i should remove it since a lot of people have no problems with flash when they don't add it but i would love to know what it is.
[08:23] <Fryguy--> bleck_work: no
[08:23] <bleck_work> Fryguy--: I see...
[08:23] <unop> s3a, yes
[08:23] <bleck_work> hmm.. i guess i'll try using at.
[08:24] <s3a> unop: http://pastebin.com/d2a84c902
[08:24] <bleck_work> ok, thanks anyways..
[08:24] <amirman> for clarification i added that stuff when i installed flash 10 beta and i just installed flash 10 beta 2
[08:25] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> <i am still using flash 9
[08:25] <unop> s3a, try this   ./run-icecat.sh
[08:25] <kerin> Reiterating:  apologize for the spam, it's been longer than fifteen minutes so I shall try not to feel too guilty.  ;p
[08:25] <kerin> I'm using Hardy (fully updated) and for some reason Wine won't report the size of my home partition (which is the partition my wine drive is on!) - however, it reports the root and NTFS partition sizes perfectly.  Any ideas?
[08:26] <vlt> Flannel: Is there a list of system-wide installable FF plugins somewhere?
[08:26] <unop> vlt, /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[08:26] <Fryguy--> vlt: apt-cache search firefox should should them to you
[08:26] <Flannel> vlt: You'd have to just search for them in synaptic
[08:26] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> kerin: wine is not reporting full size of home directory (assumed to be ext3), is the directory rather large?
[08:27] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> kerin, have you tryed to link your home directory to a file?
[08:27] <Flannel> vlt: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=mozilla&searchon=names&suite=hardy&section=all  a not all of them are plugins, obviously.
[08:27] <clee-saan> bazhang: Shockwave Flash  File name: libgnashplugin.so
[08:27] <vlt> Flannel: Thanks.
[08:27] <clee-saan> it's still not working
[08:27] <Fryguy--> clee-saan: uninstall gnash
[08:27] <s3a> unop: it got launched, asked if i wanted to import stuff from other browser and i said no then next step it looked like it was gona start and it crashed instead and i checked applications--->internet and its not there (http://pastebin.com/d188e02d5)
[08:28] <Fryguy--> clee-saan: and install flashplugin-nonfree
[08:28] <bazhang> clee-saan, that is gnash not flash uninstall it
[08:28] <clee-saan> okay
[08:28] <digitaltao> what is gnash o_O
[08:28] <digitaltao> gnu flash?
[08:28] <clee-saan> what is the remove command again ? apt-remove gnash ?
[08:28] <s3a> digitaltao: gnome flash i think
[08:28] <unop> s3a, try again
[08:28] <Fryguy--> digitaltao: yes
[08:28] <kerin> PROTECT_YA_NECK: 1) it's rather large in total, something like 200gb.  at the moment i have 9.4 gb left, though.  the program's World of Warcraft, though, and it's pretty recent so i didn't think it would be susceptible.  2) link it how?  not sure I understand.)
[08:28] <s3a> clee-saan: sudo apt-get remove gnash
[08:28] <Fryguy--> s3a: gnu flash
[08:28] <amirman> clee-saan: apt-get remove
[08:29] <clee-saan> right
[08:29] <s3a> Fryguy--: then is there a knash or sumtin like that?
[08:29] <Fryguy--> s3a: no
[08:29] <Fryguy--> s3a: gnu flash, not gnome flash
[08:29] <Sn3ipen> I have to reinstall Ubuntu because of some partitioning problems: So i wonder if i can simply just take a backup of the /home/username/ folder and put it back when i am done?
[08:29] <s3a> Fryguy--: well i saw sumtin like that anyway im not fighting since im not sure anyway
[08:29] <Fryguy--> Sn3ipen: yes
[08:30] <Anza> Fryguy--, I dont see how ¿?
[08:30] <Fryguy--> Anza: look at the virtualbox wiki for details
[08:30] <Sn3ipen> Fryguy-- thanks for the quick answer :)
[08:30] <s3a> unop: try again the same same command?
[08:30] <bazhang> http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/User_FAQ Anza
[08:31] <Anza> Fryguy--, I am looking and there is nothing that explains the process, there is just general info about it
[08:31]  * unop is not convinced gnash stands for Gnu Flash
[08:31] <unop> s3a, yes
[08:31] <bazhang> also see #vbox
[08:31] <rand0m> ... i have awn installed, but when i try to open it, i see a little white box flash on the screen, then disappear and nothing happens.. anyone know what's going on ?
[08:31] <s3a> unop: it launched for a split second then crashed
[08:32] <clee-saan> Fryguy--: unistalled gnash, but it says i already have flashplugin nonfree. It also said that i could uninstall "libboost-date-time1.34.1 gnash-common" because i didn't need it anymore
[08:32] <unop> s3a, any errors ?
[08:32] <clee-saan> and youtube's still not working
[08:32] <mephux> anyone know what that program was called for like key strokes and searching?
[08:32] <mephux> i forgot.. looks like quicksilver for the max
[08:32] <mephux> mac*
[08:32] <Fryguy--> mephux: gnome-do
[08:32] <s3a> unop: ya the same error as the last pastebin i sent u
[08:33] <Fryguy--> clee-saan: did you restart firefox after remvoing gnash
[08:33] <mephux> nice
[08:33] <unop> s3a, sounds like a bug and you might need to contact the authors or find some technical reference that details this error
[08:33] <unop> s3a, what's wrong with firefox anyway? :)
[08:33] <clee-saan> i restarted it after trying to install flashplugin (i couldn't do it though, it says i already have the latest verion)
[08:33] <mephux> Fryguy--, know of any good terminal replacements..?
[08:33] <cri^tmen_sms> hi
[08:33] <Fryguy--> mephux: urxvt
[08:34] <zoidfarb> cri^tmen_sms, hi, do you have a question?
[08:34] <Fryguy--> clee-saan: and what does about:plugins tell you about flash plugin now
[08:34] <s3a> s3a: well i want a fully free browser and not to mention there is no firefox3 in ubuntu 7.04 (cuz im on my laptop now) and plus i rely want to be a fully free person
[08:34] <clee-saan> Fryguy--: it says i have shockwave player and futuresplash player
[08:35] <Fryguy--> clee-saan: which shockwave player
[08:35] <arooni-mobile> is there a *fast* way (faster than ctrl + tab) method of quickly switching through tabs in firefox?
[08:36] <clee-saan> Fryguy--: application/x-shockwave-flash 	Shockwave Flash
[08:36] <jc__> unop: ok we've figured out that its the monitor that has issues going above 60 htz so we're editing the xorg.conf
[08:36] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> i cant believe how rude people are in here considering the free information they are receiving
[08:36] <zoidfarb> arooni-mobile, I think you can use the arrow keys
[08:36] <zoidfarb> arooni, at least, that works for me
[08:36] <ikonia> PROTECT_YA_NECK: who was rude ?
[08:36] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> kerin
[08:37] <zoidfarb> PROTECT_YA_NECK, I just got here, but I rarely see people being really rude.
[08:37] <jlulian38> How well would 433MHz x86-compatible AMD processor, armed with an amazing 256MB of ram, and moving data over a USB 2.0 (AMAZING PIPELINE) work for a CIFS fileserver :|
[08:37] <Flannel> arooni-mobile: ctrl-#
[08:37] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> something dumb about wine config
[08:37] <bazhang> try #bash :)
[08:37] <Fryguy--> jlulian38: should be fine
[08:37] <unop> jc__, no, xorg is loading the wrong module (vesa) - you need it to load the nvidia driver
[08:37] <lances> Hi, I'm hoping you all can help me with a very strange problem that I've run into. If I add an IPv6 tunnel to /etc/network/interfaces, without even enabling radvd, it breaks connectivity to certain websites to some of my NATed IPv4 clients although the affected sites work just fine from the gateway machine. The sites also work fine if I configure my clients to use an alternate gateway.
[08:37] <Fryguy--> jlulian38: would probably max out 100mbps
[08:37] <zoidfarb> jlulian38, it would probably work fine, but Ubuntu ain't the distro for that system
[08:37] <ikonia> PROTECT_YA_NECK: I've just read the last log - he's not being rude
[08:38] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> irc moderator?
[08:38] <ikonia> PROTECT_YA_NECK: what does that have to do with anything he asked a question that he was finding complicated
[08:38] <arooni-mobile> Flannel, alt + # seems to work ; but not control
[08:38] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> i wasnt making a formal complaint
[08:38] <ikonia> PROTECT_YA_NECK: I didn't say you where, but he was not being rude, he asked a straightforward question
[08:39] <jlulian38> zoidfarb, I meant Ubuntu Server Edition(I dare say that has much lower system requirements)
[08:39] <Fryguy--> jlulian38: should find another distro prolly
[08:39] <zoidfarb> whatever, sometimes people are frustrated/new to Linux/act like more of jerks than they mean to
[08:39] <Fryguy--> jlulian38: you can try it though
[08:39] <PROTECT_YA_NECK> it is rude to assume information is misleading if you dont know the answer to the question in the first place
[08:39] <jc__> unop: We're using the last xorg.conf file again and yes that one lists that the driver is nvidia, is is there something else we should to do assure that the nvidia driver is being used?
[08:39] <ikonia> zoidfarb: no-one is acting like a jerk in here
[08:39] <ogzy> which command is executed when i diable the Enabple Wireless option at the nm-applet, making wireless adapter down doesn't change the status of the nm-applet and i dont want to rmmod the wireless module
[08:40] <ikonia> PROTECT_YA_NECK: he didn't, he was having problems understanding it, if you re-read his comments
[08:40] <unop> jc__, does it say Driver "nvidia"
[08:40] <bazhang> lets take the rudeness to #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[08:40] <unop> ?
[08:40] <jc__> unop: yes now it does
[08:40] <zoidfarb> jlulian38, there are lots of distros geared specifically toward low-end systems, I would check one of those out (although you're right that Ubuntu server will be a lot lighter than full desktop Ubuntu)
[08:40] <digitaltao> Hey guys, my monitor is not being recognized inside of system > prefs > screen resolution. However the Nvidia X server recognizes it fine. I think there might be some sort of clash occurring because the Nvidia app correctly has the refresh rate set at 60hz while "Screen resolution" only has 66hz 67hz and 50hz available. any ideas gentlemen?
[08:40] <Fryguy--> jlulian38: freebsd is nice
[08:40] <jlulian38> :F
[08:40] <jlulian38> I like my apt-get
[08:40] <LSD|Ninja> digitaltao: that resolution control panel blows
[08:41] <unop> jc__, you can examine /var/log/Xorg.log.0 to see which driver it loads exactly -- also, there might be other issues  that you should spot
[08:41] <Fryguy--> jlulian38: packages and ports are nice as well
[08:41] <zoidfarb> digitaltao, have you looked at your xorg.conf file yet? what resolutions are available there?
[08:41] <LSD|Ninja> digitaltao: run sudo displayconfig-gtk for something slightly better
[08:41] <jc__> unop: ok we'll check that
[08:41] <jlulian38> I still have to go buy stuff so I can use my hard drive, and install to a system without a CD-Rom drive
[08:42] <jlulian38> so I guess I'll look into it until then
[08:43] <lances> unfortunatly I don't see an ubuntu-networking channel and I really need help with this IPv6 tunnel breaking IPv4 NATing problem. Does anyone have any sugestions as to where I could ask for help?
[08:43] <Sn3ipen> how big should i have the "/" directory when partitioning because want to have separate "/" and "/home" directories?
[08:43] <jc__> unop: what specifically should I look for in the log to see which driver is being loaded?
[08:43] <ikonia> lances: #netfilter, #iptables
[08:43] <bazhang> lances, just ##networking
[08:44] <Fryguy--> Sn3ipen: 10gb is plenty
[08:44] <timandtom> In my System Monitor, my CPU History is kind of odd... I have a dual core Intel, and sometimes I might have one core at 100%, while the other core idles. Is there any way to make it more efficient?
[08:44] <digitaltao> LSD|Ninja: displayconfig is alot better thanks, same problem with the refresh rate however
[08:44] <Sn3ipen> Fryguy-- thabks that is what i thought
[08:44] <digitaltao> I am checking my xorg.conf right now
[08:44] <Fryguy--> timandtom: the linux kernel does as optimal a job as it can at scheduling processes already.
[08:44] <lances> thanks... I must have made a type the last time I tried to connect to the netowkring channel.
[08:45] <bazhang> np
[08:45] <LSD|Ninja> digitaltao: yeah, it hasn't been fully updated for Hardy it would seem. It worked a treat in Gutsy though.
[08:45] <Fryguy--> timandtom: not every process (in fact most) aren't able to use more than 1 core
[08:45] <unop> jc__, i wish i could tell you - there is no easy way, try and make sense of what xorg is doing there - if you get something like "autoconfiguring for vesa" that's a bad thing
[08:45] <LSD|Ninja> digitaltao: I still make a note to point it out to people because when it works, it's better than anything else Ubuntu provide
[08:45] <timandtom> Fryguy--, Ah, ok. Thanks. Switching to 8.04 from 7.10 wouldn't help me then?
[08:45] <Fryguy--> timandtom: no
[08:45] <bazhang> digitaltao, should be gksudo not sudo
[08:46] <LSD|Ninja> bazhang: it doesn't really matter
[08:46] <bazhang> LSD|Ninja, that is not correct.
[08:46] <jc__> unop: :) ok i'll look through it and past it if it doesn't make sense
[08:46] <timandtom> Fryguy--, sweeeeet. I tried 8.04 before, wasn't pleasant for me.
[08:46] <LSD|Ninja> All gk does is put the password prompt in a nice looking dialog box
[08:47] <digitaltao> LSD|Ninja: it seems that the res/refresh is inside the xorg, " modeline  "1680x1050@60" 147.14 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051 1054 1087 "
[08:47] <Fryguy--> LSD|Ninja: which is handy if you are doing it from something like the alt-f2 dialog and don't have a visible way to interact with stdin, whicih is how sudo expects to receive it's password
[08:47] <unop> jc__, also good reference would be.   man xorg.conf
[08:47] <bazhang> !gksudo | LSD|Ninja
[08:47] <Obi_Bong_Kedoobi> (.Y.)
[08:48] <david_> i need some help
[08:48] <Fryguy--> !ask | david_
[08:48] <bazhang> Obi_Bong_Kedoobi, not here
[08:48] <ikonia> david_: what's up
[08:48] <arooni-mobile> how do i scroll up/down quickly in the gnome-terminal?
[08:48] <Fryguy--> arooni-mobile: use the mouse wheel
[08:48] <Fryguy--> arooni-mobile: or enable the scrollbar in the menu and use that
[08:48] <Obi_Bong_Kedoobi> woops, this isnt offtopic
[08:48] <Fryguy--> arooni-mobile: shift-pageup and down probably work too
[08:48] <arooni-mobile> Fryguy--, no short cuts for keys?
[08:48] <iain> anyone work with UNIXodbc?
[08:48] <david_> i installed xubuntu, and I want to see my ntfs disk
[08:48] <Fryguy--> !anyone | iain
[08:49] <Fryguy--> david_: so mount it
[08:49] <Fryguy--> david_: btw join #xubuntu
[08:49] <iain> david_: its under host I think
[08:49] <david_> ok, thanks
[08:49] <iain> No its a subdirecory
[08:50] <iain> Im not booted into ubuntu right now or I would give you the path
[08:50] <Lava> how, i'm looking for a good program in hardy heron to burn cd's
[08:51] <Fryguy--> Lava: brasero
[08:51] <negge^> Lava: isn't brasero good enough?
[08:51] <iain> its listed like a host as if describing the hosting FS but if you read the root directories you will read one that 'host' I think
[08:51] <jc__> unop: protect_ya_neck: thanks for all the help with xorg
[08:52] <iain> anyone here using UNIXodbc?
[08:52] <Lava> aight, thanks Fryguy-- & negge
[08:52] <Fryguy--> iain: do you have a specific question about it
[08:52] <iain> Yea, I having issues with the currect bas install, trying to get it to connect to mysql
[08:53] <iain> Can I post the error that it gives or do I need a post site and past the url here
[08:53] <ikonia> iain: better to use a pastebin
[08:53] <jc__> thanks everyone, this is a great and helpful group!
[08:53] <ikonia> !pastebin | iain
[08:53] <Fryguy--> !pastebin | iain
[08:53] <dunkel2> hi guys i am looking for some help, i am trying to install my network drivers in ubuntu 7.04 x64
[08:53] <iain> ok
[08:53] <Fryguy--> !ask | dunkel2
[08:53] <dunkel2> but it says something about i cant write in catman mode
[08:53] <dunkel2> can you please help me
[08:53] <[Michelangelo]> Hi all, Anybody knows the error 14 after the reboot of the pc ?
[08:54] <Fryguy--> dunkel2: need a specific error
[08:54] <dunkel2> let me see
[08:54] <[Michelangelo]> Warning: unrecognized partition table for drive 81. please rebuild it using a microsoft-compatible FDISK tool (err = 14).
[08:54] <[Michelangelo]> Current c/h/s = 16383/225/63
[08:54] <dunkel2> cannot write to /var/cache/man/cat7/e1000.7.gz in catman mode
[08:54] <dunkel2> thats the error i get while running the make install
[08:55] <Fryguy--> dunkel2: did you sudo
[08:55] <laughtear> i need someone to help me install f-prot antivirus i686 on my ubuntu hardy heron
[08:55] <digitaltao> is there a way to turn on mouse trails?
[08:55] <dunkel2> i have read some forums but i cant get the solution :S
[08:55] <laughtear> it's downloaded and on my desktop
[08:55] <dunkel2> yes i did
[08:56] <iain> well its not a full log file list, its just a simple error - ODBC Config error - System DSN -ADD : Could not construct a property List for (Mysql)
[08:56] <blackrabbit> digitaltao, I have a method but it involves eating something
[08:56] <ikonia> dunkel2: does that directory exist
[08:57] <digitaltao> blackrabbit: ;) if you supply i will eat it
[08:57] <ikonia> iain: what is the client ?
[08:57] <iain> I have even edited the odbcinst.ini as per the manual
[08:57] <ikonia> iain: what is the client ?
[08:57] <blackrabbit> digitaltao, of what benefit are mouse trails anyway?
[08:57] <iain> I have not gotten that far yet, still setting up UNIXodbc service
[08:57] <dunkel2> yes
[08:57] <dunkel2> it is empty
[08:57] <ikonia> iain: you must have a client to be testing it, or you wouldn't know it didn't work
[08:58] <digitaltao> blackrabbit: when I have my contacts out it makes the mouse a little easier to follow
[08:58] <negge^> laughtear: you don't need an antivirus
[08:58] <laughtear> negge^: yes i need to clean the ntfs partitions to save my old private files dude
[08:58] <iain> Then its the ODBCConfig itself at this point
[08:59] <laughtear> negge^: so, i need a hand
[08:59] <iain> Trying to setup a System DNS service to allow a client to connect from a remote system
[08:59] <digitaltao> so is there anyway to enable mouse trails ? o_O or is it considered by most to be a useless function therefore not supported?
[09:00] <Fryguy--> digitaltao: might be an option for it in compizconfig-settings-manager
[09:00] <ziggy_> does any one want to remote to vnc to help me fix my problem?
[09:00] <ikonia> ziggy_: just ask the question
[09:00] <zaapiel> any games in ubuntu repos you recommend?
[09:00] <iain> Its like I need to register the drivers - the .so files some where so that it can like them into the service to create a onnection
[09:01] <[Michelangelo]> can anybody help me?
[09:01] <Fryguy--> !grub [Michelangelo]
[09:01] <Fryguy--> !grub| [Michelangelo]
[09:02] <[Michelangelo]> Fryguy, what can I do?
[09:02] <Fryguy--> [Michelangelo]: read those links
[09:02] <[Michelangelo]> Fryguy, ok
[09:02] <laughtear> anybody can tell me how to move a file in terminal to another place
[09:02] <ziggy_>  HOW TO: get Kiba-Dock running correctly
[09:02] <Fryguy--> laughtear: use mv
[09:02] <dunkel2> then guys :(
[09:02] <dunkel2> i really want to use my ubuntu on internet heheehe
[09:02] <laughtear> Fryguy--: can you give a little example?
[09:02] <negge^> laughtear: if you're just gonna get some files from your old partition you just have to mount the drive and copy them, no need for any antivirus
[09:03] <Fryguy--> laughtear: mv file newlocation
[09:03] <Fryguy--> laughtear: check out man mv for usage details
[09:03] <laughtear> negge': so, leave the viruses even if you're sure there they are you say
[09:03] <laughtear> thanks Fryguy--
[09:03] <ziggy_> fry guy was helping me last
[09:03] <negge^> laughtear: okay I see
[09:04] <[Michelangelo]> Fryguy the main problem is the RAID configuration of the Laptop
[09:04] <negge^> laughtear: search the repos for some virus scanner, I'm sure there's some there
[09:04] <Fryguy--> ziggy_: http://mathpages.blogspot.com/2008/04/installing-kiba-dock-in-ubuntu-hardy.html
[09:04] <ikonia> [Michelangelo]: raid on a laptop?
[09:04] <[Michelangelo]> Fryguy yes
[09:04] <enterneo> why is disk usage analyzer using GB instead of GiB, whereby partition editor uses GiB
[09:04] <ikonia> [Michelangelo]: your laptop has multiple internal disks ?
[09:05] <Fryguy--> enterneo: programs written by different people, maybe using different backend libraries
[09:05] <[Michelangelo]> Fryguy http://www.azlan.it/Vendors/Prodotti/80-2007-01-26_3.asp?v=80&S=2&M=0
[09:05] <Fryguy--> [Michelangelo]: why are you telling me
[09:05] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia yes
[09:05] <enterneo> Fryguy--: this is unfair, either all programs should use GiB or GB
[09:05] <ikonia> [Michelangelo]: ahh so it's using fakeraid
[09:05] <Fryguy--> enterneo: so file a bug in launchpad
[09:05] <digitaltao> nope, no mouse trails inside of  compizconfig-settings-manager
[09:05] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia Fryguy I am using the wubi installer
[09:05] <Fryguy--> digitaltao: you sure
[09:06] <Fryguy--> [Michelangelo]: why not just use the real installer
[09:06] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia Fryguy after the reboot appear that error
[09:06] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia Fryguy I would like to reserve the Vista OS
[09:06] <digitaltao> pretty sure Fryguy
[09:06] <Fryguy--> [Michelangelo]: so?
[09:06] <Fryguy--> [Michelangelo]: why not just use the regular installer
[09:06] <ikonia> Fryguy--: from what I'm reading it's using fakeraid which will cause him issues (looking at the spec
[09:06] <ikonia> )
[09:07] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia Fryguy the problem after the partitioning of the RAID 0
[09:07] <laughtear> negge^: i already done it by installing clam, but it can not find the viruses which i know there.
[09:07] <Fryguy--> ikonia: a livecd is going to cause him far less problems than wubi
[09:07] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia Fryguy when I try to do it in the normal installer
[09:07] <ikonia> [Michelangelo]: yes, I can appriciate that, fakeraid is not a wise install
[09:07] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia Fryguy show me two hd
[09:07] <dunkel2> i also did modprobe
[09:07] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia Fryguy not only one
[09:07] <ikonia> Fryguy--: ooh I agree, either way I think he's in for a very frsutrating time with not only fake raid, but fake raid 0
[09:07]  * Fryguy-- wonders why so many people use raid for system drives
[09:07] <dunkel2> and i see the name of the NIC
[09:08] <ikonia> Fryguy--: fake raid = poor, raid 0 = pointless on home user kit
[09:08] <Fryguy--> dunkel2: what is the network card you are using
[09:08] <dunkel2> no... is other command i cant remember
[09:08] <ikonia> Fryguy--: a total waste
[09:08] <dunkel2> it is an intel card
[09:08] <Fryguy--> dunkel2: wired?
[09:08] <dunkel2> motherboard integrated
[09:08] <Fryguy--> dunkel2: why are you compiling drivers for it?
[09:08] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia Fryguy and If I try to install Ubuntu on one of them I suppose that the vista crash
[09:08] <c0nfl|ct>  bom dia
[09:09] <dunkel2> because it doesnt set the drivers
[09:09] <dunkel2> i dont have internet
[09:09] <ikonia> [Michelangelo]: yes, if you partition one of the individual drives, your fake raid device will be corrupted
[09:09] <Fryguy--> dunkel2: do you have an interface in ifconfig -a
[09:09] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia Fryguy so, how can I do?
[09:10] <dunkel2> it says Local Loopback
[09:10] <digitaltao> all right another mouse related question, anyone know how to make it so when i click in the mouse wheel I can scroll inside of applications?
[09:10] <dunkel2> <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:10] <dunkel2> but i dont have the eth0
[09:10] <ikonia> [Michelangelo]: not use fake raid is the best solution, as a secondary solution don't use raid 0 for a root disk technology
[09:10] <ziggy_> E: Type 'sudo' is not known on line 58 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:10] <ziggy_> E: The list of sources could not be read.
[09:10] <ziggy_> ziggy@ziggy-desktop:~$
[09:10] <ziggy_> when i run the install command
[09:11] <ziggy_> First of all you need to make sure you have all the required packages. Type the following in the Terminal:
[09:11] <iain> Hmm - let me rephase my question for UNIXodbc - after installing the drivers (libmyodbc5.so and libmyodbc3s.so) to the /usr/lib is there a step before using the ODBCConfig to set the drivers so I can create a data source DNS either as a System DNS or a User DNS?
[09:11] <negge^> ziggy_: somethings wrong with your sources.list file
[09:11] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia Fryguy I think that my RAID is not a fake but a real RAID
[09:11] <ziggy_> how would i go abouts fixing that?
[09:11] <ikonia> [Michelangelo]: no - it's a fake raid driver
[09:11] <Fryguy--> [Michelangelo]: almost certainly not
[09:12] <Fryguy--> ziggy_: what did you type in terminal
[09:12] <ziggy_> its to big to put in here
[09:12] <Shiba1> hi all
[09:12] <Fryguy--> !pastebin | ziggy_
[09:12] <ziggy_> http://mathpages.blogspot.com/2008/04/installing-kiba-dock-in-ubuntu-hardy.html
[09:12] <ziggy_> first commaqnd
[09:13] <dunkel2> Fryguy--: you mean if i have something like eth0 or eth1 ?
[09:13] <Fryguy--> ziggy_: ok, the first command is fine
[09:13] <laughtear> okay, how wiil i get the install-f-prot.pl file start work as a sudo in terminal?
[09:13] <Fryguy--> dunkel2: yes. so apparently you need to compile a driver, googling for "ubuntu e1000" returns quite a few results
[09:13] <ziggy_> it says this when i paste it subversion
[09:13] <ziggy_> E: Type 'sudo' is not known on line 58 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:13] <ziggy_> E: The list of sources could not be read
[09:14] <Fryguy--> ziggy_: did you paste it correctly
[09:14] <ziggy_> yes ser
[09:14] <laughtear> okay, how wiil i get the install-f-prot.pl file start work as a sudo in terminal?
[09:14] <dunkel2> Fryguy--: i h¿got a driver but when i try to 'make install' it i got an error
[09:14] <Fryguy--> ziggy_: are you sure
[09:14] <ziggy_> i can do it agin just to make sure bro
[09:14] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia Fryguy Intel(R) 82801G (ICH7 Family) Ultra ATA Storage Controllers - 27DF
[09:14] <ikonia> [Michelangelo]: yes, I've read the spec, it's a fakeraid card
[09:15] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia Fryguy so it is hardware card
[09:15] <dunkel2> Fryguy--: this error cannot write to /var/cache/man/cat7/e1000.7.gz in catman mode
[09:15] <[Michelangelo]> not software
[09:15] <Fryguy--> [Michelangelo]: it's a fakeraid card
[09:15] <ziggy_> yes i'm sure
[09:15] <djhash> ziggy_: type this.. "more /etc/apt/sources.list" and paste the output into pastebin
[09:15] <ikonia> [Michelangelo]: no it's not
[09:15] <Fryguy--> ziggy_: then you broke your sources.list file somehow, you'll need to manually edit it back to a working state
[09:15] <ikonia> [Michelangelo]: its a software driver based raid, designed for windows
[09:16] <nagyv> hello! often after using watching a flash video in Firefox, my soundcard doesn't work any more outside of Firefox. How can I fix this?
[09:16] <ziggy_> where is the past bin located?
[09:16] <djhash> !pastebin | ziggy_
[09:16] <ziggy_> ok did that
[09:16] <Fryguy--> nagyv: create a file in /etc/firefox-3/ called firefoxrc and put FIREFOX_DSP=aoss and then sudo apt-get install alsa-oss and restart firefox
[09:16] <nagyv> Fryguy--: thanks
[09:16] <djhash> after you paste.. and submit just copy the address from the address bar and paste it here

[09:17] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia Fryguy damn me!
[09:17] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia Fryguy and now?
[09:17] <ziggy_>  !pastebin | ziggy_ wtf?
[09:18] <djhash> ziggy_: dont paste it here.. you'll get blocked for spamming..  go to http://paste.ubuntu.com
[09:18] <Fryguy--> [Michelangelo]: you install the fakeraid drivers from somewhere, or use something like the alternate install cd to do what you need
[09:18] <ziggy_> ok
[09:18] <ikonia> [Michelangelo]: I've given you the two most realistic options
[09:19] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia Fryguy:  use something like the alternate install cd to do what you need?
[09:19] <ikonia> [Michelangelo]: I don't believe that will work either
[09:19] <ziggy_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25639/
[09:19] <ikonia> [Michelangelo]: your system disk layout is flawed
[09:19] <ziggy_> i think i did it right
[09:19] <dunkel2> when i run lsmod i get this         e1000 191552 0
[09:20] <dunkel2> in Used By it says 0
[09:20] <ikonia> dunkel2: thats the driver
[09:20] <ikonia> dunkel2: it's loaded
[09:20] <idefix_> what does the command rpm -ivh `pwd`/$RPM_NAME do?
[09:20] <Fryguy--> ziggy_: cat /etc/apt/sources.list and paste that
[09:20] <dunkel2> but it is not used?
[09:20] <ikonia> idefix_: install an rpm
[09:20] <ikonia> idefix_: but that won't work on an ubuntu system
[09:20] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia Fryguy: really!?
[09:20] <idefix_> right, my computer gives an error on that
[09:20] <digitaltao> question - if I install a new sata drive in my computer will hardy heron automatically detect it?
[09:20] <djhash> ziggy_: yeah do what Fryguy said.. i forgot about cat.. WOW!!!!
[09:20] <ikonia> idefix_: what version of ubuntu are you using ?
[09:20] <dunkel2> lsmod
[09:20] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia Fryguy: so there is no simple way to do it
[09:20] <idefix_> 2.6.15-52-386
[09:20] <ikonia> [Michelangelo]: in my opinion your disk layout is flawed
[09:21] <ikonia> idefix_: thats not an ubuntu version
[09:21] <Fryguy--> idefix_: that is your kernel, what version of ubuntu are you running
[09:21] <ikonia> idefix_: what ubuntu version are you using
[09:21] <idefix_> Dapper Drake
[09:21] <ikonia> idefix_: I don't think your using ubuntu
[09:21] <Fryguy--> idefix_: why are you using rpm?
[09:21] <idefix_> I want to install JAVA
[09:21] <bazhang> idefix_, #fedora
[09:22] <ikonia> idefix_: rpm's are not aimed at ubuntu machines, so shouldn't work
[09:22] <Fryguy--> idefix_: apt-cache search java and then pick the package you need and apt-get install it
[09:22] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia Fryguy: is there a way to disable the ACPI in the wubi install?
[09:22] <ikonia> [Michelangelo]: why does that matter ?
[09:22] <Fryguy--> [Michelangelo]: no idea
[09:22] <Fryguy--> [Michelangelo]: it doesn't affect you anyway
[09:22] <djhash> ziggy_: are you still there?!!
[09:22] <idefix_> ok thx
[09:22] <bazhang> idefix_, please pastebin your sources list
[09:23] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia Fryguy: I would like to try to start the Ubuntu already installed by Wubi passing the option acpi=off
[09:23] <ikonia> [Michelangelo]: it doesn't matter
[09:23] <Fryguy--> [Michelangelo]: why
[09:23] <ikonia> [Michelangelo]: your disk layout will not work
[09:23] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia Fryguy: because after the error 14 it stops at the acpi
[09:23] <ikonia> [Michelangelo]: your not listening
[09:23] <Fryguy--> [Michelangelo]: it has nothing to do with your problem
[09:24] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia Fryguy: maybe if I try
[09:24] <ikonia> [Michelangelo]: no
[09:24] <Stepp1> HI
[09:24] <ikonia> Stepp1: hello
[09:24] <Stepp1> How do I get my wireless working on Fiesty Fawn?
[09:24] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia Fryguy: yes I am listening you but I have to install this Ubuntu
[09:24] <ikonia> Stepp1: ooh a little old, what vard is it
[09:24] <Fryguy--> Stepp1: if it doesn't work out of the box, you install a driver
[09:24] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia Fryguy: in one hour
[09:24] <ziggy_> yes
[09:24] <ikonia> [Michelangelo]: then you would be better formatting your disks in a more realistic layout
[09:25] <ziggy_> i went to make some ribs sorry
[09:25] <ikonia> [Michelangelo]: 1 hour, is not realistic, it's not going to happen
[09:25] <Pizarro> Hi all
[09:25] <djhash> no problem..
[09:25] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia Fryguy: I'll try to do something
[09:25] <dunkel2> well this is impossible for me then :S
[09:25] <Fryguy--> [Michelangelo]: i've told you what to do, either find and install fakeraid drivers on the livecd, or try the alternate installer, or you are out of luck
[09:25] <Stepp1> ikonia: yeah, it's a little old but I don't know how to get the wireless setup.
[09:25] <ikonia> [Michelangelo]: ok, try to do something
[09:25] <djhash> ziggy_: do this "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" then copy and paste into pastebin and send me the link..
[09:25] <ikonia> Stepp1: what wirless card is it ?
[09:25] <ziggy_> /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:25] <ziggy_> ok
[09:25] <Stepp1> Atheros
[09:25] <idefix_> bazhang: my post tripped the pastebin spam filter :S
[09:26] <Stepp1> wait..
[09:26] <Pizarro> I installed Ubuntu thru Wubi, Is ther any tool to configure the screen, the resolutuion, the second screen , the monitor, etc.. I can't find anyon under System>Administration
[09:26] <Fryguy--> Pizarro: should be a screens and graphics menu
[09:26] <Stepp1> can I figure out what wireless card i'm using by using terminal?
[09:26] <Fryguy--> Pizarro: otherwise use aticonfig or nvidia-settings depending on what card you have
[09:26] <Fryguy--> Stepp1: lspci and lsusb
[09:26] <ubunubi> what's the program name for the gnome system monitor?
[09:26] <ikonia> Stepp1: lspci normally gives a solid clue on the chipset
[09:27] <ziggy_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25640/
[09:27] <ikonia> ubunubi: gnome-system-monitor
[09:27] <ziggy_> thats what it did
[09:27] <Pizarro> Fryguy--, I don't have any Screen menu under System menu, I just installed the Wubi yesterday, so I didn't make any change on the original installation
[09:27] <Fryguy--> ziggy_: cat it
[09:27] <djhash> ziggy_: "cat /etc/apt/sources.list"
[09:27] <Fryguy--> Pizarro: so then use option 2 that i gave you
[09:27] <ziggy_> ok sorry
[09:27] <Pizarro> Fryguy--, How can I do that?
[09:28] <Fryguy--> Pizarro: run ati-config or nvidia-settings, depending on which video card you have.
[09:28] <Fryguy--> Pizarro: or edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf manually
[09:28] <Stepp1> Here is what I have 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02)
[09:28] <Stepp1> 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. Unknown device 001c (rev 01)
[09:28] <idefix_> which java is best? java2html, javacc, java-common, java-gcj-compat, java-gcj-compat-dev or java-package?
[09:28] <Pizarro> But in general, I realized that I don't have "compelte" tools to set up the windows behaivour, the colors, et..only very simple options
[09:29] <ikonia> Stepp1: if you do an "iwconfig" can you see the card ?
[09:29] <Fryguy--> !broadcom | Stepp1
[09:29] <plouffe> Hi, is there any way to install and control a computer from Ubuntu in my LAN that doesn't have a monitor? (currently XP and FreeBSD installed on it, but don't need to keep that)
[09:29] <Fryguy--> idefix_: java-package probably
[09:29] <ziggy_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25641/
[09:29] <Fryguy--> plouffe: install openssh server
[09:29] <Stepp1> thanks for the broadcom info
[09:29] <ziggy_> thats what happen next
[09:29] <plouffe> Fryguy thanks I'll look into it
[09:30] <alpac0> hi, how do i play vcd in ubuntu 7.10 gutsy
[09:30] <djhash> ziggy: the last line is your problem.. remove the entire line...
[09:30] <Fryguy--> ziggy_: remove the last line from that file
[09:30]  * Fryguy-- holds back laughter
[09:30] <alpac0> totem does not have the required plugin to playback vcds
[09:31] <neeto> My sound seems to have stopped working. I have restarted alsa-utils, but no cigar. What else could I try?
[09:31] <ziggy_> udo apt-get install fakeroot automake1.9 build-esse <<<< how will i del that
[09:31] <Fryguy--> ziggy_: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:31] <alpac0> !vcd
[09:32] <neeto> !sound
[09:32] <Pizarro> Fryguy--,solved! I installed the NVDIA X Server Settings and I found more resolutions set ups than the original ones
[09:32] <Pizarro> Fryguy--, thanks
[09:32] <plouffe> Fryguy--: Would I install openssh server on the computer without monitor? And can I do it if it doesn't have a monitor?
[09:33] <ziggy_> ok deleted
[09:33] <Fryguy--> plouffe: you need access to the machine somehow first
[09:33] <Fryguy--> plouffe: then it's just sudo apt-get install openssh-server (i think that's the name of the package)
[09:33] <djhash> ziggy_: save it.. close gedit.. and do whatever you have been doing...
[09:34] <ziggy_> kk
[09:34] <neeto> !sound
[09:35] <Pizarro> One question more, I remmeber that with KDE for example there are several options to configure all the visual behaivour (windows, widgets, color schemes, special effects), but now I'm in gnome and I can't find these options but a simple one to choose the theme, is this correct or am I mising something?
[09:35] <Fryguy--> Pizarro: settings are located in different places in gnome and kde
[09:36] <Fryguy--> Pizarro: is there something specific you want to do or ?
[09:36] <Pizarro> Fryguy--, yes for example I want to custom the "special effects"
[09:36] <Fryguy--> Pizarro: install compizconfig-settings-manager
[09:37] <cedric_> #keldelice
[09:37] <Pizarro> let's see..
[09:37] <djhash> Hi all.. I need someone's help regarding s-video TV-out on ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), using ATI Radeon Mobility M7 LW (7500).. check xorg.conf on pastebin http://pastebin.com/m6a87ef14
[09:39] <Pizarro> Fryguy--, installed, but I can't find it under any menu
[09:39] <ubunubi> what's the fastest way to find out if your soundcard is using an ALSA or OSS driver?
[09:39] <Fryguy--> Pizarro: run it manually from a terminal, or look under system preferences appearance menu
[09:39] <Fryguy--> ubunubi: it's using alsa
[09:39] <gordonjcp> ubunubi: it's using an alsa driver
[09:40] <freak124> I want some programs to run at startup that require me to be root, I did this by putting gksudo in front of the command in sessions, but it's a bit anoying that I have to typ in the password every time. Is there a solution?
[09:40] <gordonjcp> ubunubi: unless you've travelled back in time to the last century
[09:40] <ikonia> happy
[09:40] <ikonia> oops
[09:40] <ikonia> sorry
[09:40] <Fryguy--> startup or login?
[09:40] <kash> óõ íèõóÿ ñêîëüêî íàðîäó
[09:41] <kash> Åñòü ðóññêèå?
[09:41] <freak124> don't know, just in preferences->sessions
[09:41] <Fryguy--> freak124: edit sudoers to add explicit exceptions for certain commands.  see man sudo, man sudoers, and google for details
[09:41] <kash> Àëå, ðåáÿòà
[09:41] <Pizarro> Fryguy--, nothing in the apperance menu, which is the command name to execute it under the console?
[09:41] <freak124> ok thx
[09:41] <Fryguy--> Pizarro: probably compizconfig-settings-manager
[09:42] <djhash> !english | kash
[09:45] <Pizarro> Fryguy--, it's not the command name
[09:45] <earthmeLon_> When I'm browsing my directories in windows, if the directory starts with _ it starts at the beginning before any numbered directories, but with gnome, it's ignoring that character and listing according to the first alpha/numeric char.  Is there any way to stop this? or what will gnome accept in the front the will keep these dir at the top?
[09:45] <tack__> hello
[09:45] <Pizarro> Fryguy--, doing I locate compizconfig I don't find anything in the bin or sbin directory
[09:46] <dunkel2> what can u recommend me to solve my problem guys?
[09:46] <manz> cedaga isnt free is it?
[09:46] <LSD|Ninja> manz: yes and no
[09:46] <ikonia> no
[09:48] <Debian_Noobie> debian
[09:48] <LSD|Ninja> You have to pay to get the full deal but they used to release the bulk of the code (sans support for copy protection schemes or whatever) through CVS that you could use to compile your own copy with most of the functionality
[09:49] <blackrabbit> Debian_Noobie, yes, I've heard of it. >_<
[09:51] <iain> does anyone know what the filename stucture for UNIXodbc tempate file is? I know what goes in the file but not sur of the extension is there is one is???
[09:52] <iain> or if the what directory the tempate for the driver goes in
[09:53] <ziggy_> ok i did that now what how do i get it to run now
[09:54] <bushwakko> can I install kde4 packages for my ubuntu 8.04 install?
[09:54] <ziggy_> do i have to uninstall Kiba-Dock and reinstall it agin to get it to wokr ?
[09:56] <ziggy_> do i have to uninstall Kiba-Dock and reinstall it agin to get it to wokr ?
[09:58] <nullie> Where should I put per-user environment variables definitions?
[09:58] <blackrabbit> bushwakko, yes and see #kubuntu
[09:58] <bushwakko> but i don't want to change distro
[09:59] <bushwakko> just get the kde packages to play around with on my ubuntu
[09:59] <bushwakko> is this impossible?
[09:59] <blackrabbit> bushwakko, I install ubuntu, kubuntu, and xubuntu and toggle them
[09:59] <bushwakko> like, on different partitions?
[09:59] <blackrabbit> bushwakko, no, on the same partition
[10:00] <bushwakko> humm
[10:00] <blackrabbit> bushwakko, see kubuntu-kdestop for example
[10:00] <blackrabbit> kubuntu-desktop*
[10:00] <blackrabbit> but that's not kde4
[10:01] <blackrabbit> bushwakko, see the ubuntuforums.org threads regarding kde4, they'll get you there faster than I, or #kubuntu
[10:01] <blackrabbit> bushwakko, you may install as many desktop environments and window managers in the repos as you wish and jump between them at your leisure
[10:01] <Flannel> bushwakko: You can have any number of desktop environments installed on the same Ubuntu installation (this is, Ubuntu the distro).  These include Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Ubuntu (and a few others)
[10:04] <tparcina> I'm trying to make my microphone work and I follow those instructions - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=385739
[10:04] <tparcina> problem is that on Volume control, I don't have "Capture" tab (3rd picture from the top)
[10:05] <johnnypea> can somebody tell what kind of Ubuntu is this one http://www.silverwingsonline.com/ubuntu1.jpg thx
[10:05] <tparcina> what should I do now to make my microphone work?
[10:06] <yaris12346789> i am using less to read a large log file. how do i get to the last line of the file ?
[10:07] <babo_> how can i write a text file on emacs and have it come out ok on windows ?
[10:07] <babo_> what do i do about newlines ?
[10:08] <Ayabara> is there a repo where I can get the latest Eclipse version?
[10:08] <Starnestommy> babo_: install the tofrodos package then use the unix2dos program in it to convert the newlines from unix to windows format
[10:08] <tparcina> yaris12346789: you can try dmesg
[10:09] <DJones> johnnypea: It looks like a basic ubuntu with AWN installed and a custom made background/theme, no idea what the theme would be though
[10:09] <Flannel> yaris12346789: G
[10:09] <yaris12346789> thanks
[10:10] <yaris12346789> shift g ?
[10:10] <Flannel> yaris12346789: G, yes.
[10:10] <yaris12346789> awesome
[10:10] <yaris12346789> worked
[10:11] <Pizarro> Anyone who is using Ubuntu in a Laptop has notices that opening files, applications, etc.. takes excessive time?
[10:11] <freak124> johnnypea: looks to me like that's the MID edition
[10:12] <Pizarro> I'm using Wubi over a XP drive, so I don't know if it has something to do with the time the files and application take to open..
[10:13] <Pizarro> Any advice on this?
[10:13] <Flannel> Pizarro: wubi will have a slight performance decrease with any disk access
[10:14] <Pizarro> Flannel, ok. I wanted to install an "oficial" Ubuntu version, but I have only one drive wichi is already hosting XP with important data, and I didn't want to trash it when making a partition for Linux
[10:14] <LSD|Ninja> hot-babe is in medibuntu, ROFL!
[10:15] <Flannel> Pizarro: Nothing wrong with wubi, the decrease is just something you have to acknowledge
[10:16] <Pizarro> Flannel, ok, now I'm very happy with it, but if I find a application that enables me to make a partition without damaging the current one I will move to a complete ubuntu version
[10:16] <zaggynl> Pizarro: tip: backups backups backups
[10:17] <becksul> hy

[10:19] <becksul> on 3 diffrent computers
[10:19] <ziggy_> do i have to uninstall Kiba-Dock and reinstall it agin to get it to wokr ?
[10:19] <mija> does your notebook have boot on cd-rom?
[10:19] <ziggy_> inable it in cmos
[10:20] <blackrabbit> moderatelybc, I fixed my sound issues (all of them) by switching all of my audio settings to ALSA
[10:20] <blackrabbit> moderatelybc, system -> pref -> sound & all to ALSA, it may work for you may not
[10:20] <moderatelybc> Ok, I'll try that.
[10:21] <VenomSeven> I installed ubuntu 8.04 with wubi, how do I access my data from my windows "partition"?
[10:21] <blackrabbit> moderatelybc, I don't know if it requires a reboot or logout/login for changes to be applied completely
[10:22] <the-fafa> i got alsa problems as well.. and only esd seems to work :(
[10:22] <blackrabbit> moderatelybc, before I did this, I had all sorts of sound issues, pulseaudio just wasn't for me
[10:22] <binskipy2u> anyone know how to enable fast user switching on kubuntu?
[10:22] <binskipy2u> i cant seem to "log off" and get back to user menu
[10:22] <binskipy2u> i have to shut down w/p;ower button
[10:22] <binskipy2u> to reboot to log back in
[10:22] <blackrabbit> binskipy2u, #kubuntu
[10:23] <moderatelybc> All right, I'm restarting.  Be back in a bit.
[10:23] <blackrabbit> moderatelybc, good luck tell us if it works please
[10:24] <TomaszD> hey, how do I count the words in a text file, but only the lines beginning with "#. Default:"
[10:24] <LSD|Ninja> something to get those lines | wc -l
[10:25] <LSD|Ninja> grep "#. Default:" textfile | wc -l maybe
[10:25] <LSD|Ninja> you may need to escape a few of those character a little better than that though
[10:27] <TomaszD> LSD|Ninja, the -w switch shows number of words, -l shows something else
[10:27] <the-fafa> the lines
[10:28] <Johnny> is there a cool package for icons?
[10:28] <moderatelybc> So now I have completely no sound, haha.
[10:28] <TomaszD> LSD|Ninja, this should work, thanks
[10:28] <Cyber_Stalker> http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/security_holes.png
[10:28] <LSD|Ninja> TomaszD: -l is line count
[10:28] <Cyber_Stalker> lol @ that last OS on that link :D

[10:31] <LSD|Ninja> Johnny: nah, johnny's question about icons
[10:31] <blackrabbit> Johnny, have you discovered icon packs outside of the repos?
[10:32] <blackrabbit> Johnny, gnome look and some other sites have good icon choices too!
[10:32] <Johnny> no blacknred0
[10:32] <Johnny> do you know where can i get some?
[10:32] <LSD|Ninja> gnome-look?

[10:41] <s3a_> johnny: right click on ur desktop, select change desktop backround then go to the themes tab select install and choose ur downloaded theme
[10:42] <Johnny> no s3a
[10:42] <s3a_> Johnny: wat?
[10:42] <{Delano}> I tried that, wild_oscar, but it didn't work... isn't there a way I could restore it via the Ubuntu discs themselves?
[10:42] <Johnny> i mean how do i know where to put them
[10:43] <Johnny> or does it matter?
[10:43] <wild_oscar> {Delano}: you tried the "fixmbr" command?

[10:44] <Johnny> alright
[10:44] <Johnny> thanks
[10:45] <s3a_> johnny: well did u get it to work?
[10:45] <wild_oscar> I need help pinpointing the issue, which is described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=814079&page=2&highlight=login+desktop+icons

[10:45] <s3a_> any1 here know how to compile?
[10:46] <Pizarro> To install MFC win libraries for win I have to apt-get wintricks right?

[10:46] <[Michelangelo]> why?
[10:46] <sinan> Can you recommend a serial terminal better than cu ?
[10:48] <Johnny> s3a,
[10:48] <Johnny> how do i install them from xfce
[10:51] <b4l7424r> what does the boot from first hard disk option in the live cd menu do_
[10:51] <negge^> b4l7424r: it boots from the first harddisk
[10:51] <sinan> lol
[10:51] <negge^> :D
[10:51] <b4l7424r> boots what_
[10:51] <wild_oscar> whatever you have installed
[10:52] <koshari> b4l7424r whatever the mbr ppoints to
[10:52] <b4l7424r> windows then
[10:52] <negge^> b4l7424r: for example if you have Windows installed and boot from the Live CD and decide not to use it you select boot from first harddisk and Windows will boot
[10:52] <b4l7424r> ok
[10:52] <wild_oscar> it's the same option as if you had not put the cd in
[10:52] <b4l7424r> how can i boot ubuntu if i don\t have the grub menu any longer_
[10:52] <b4l7424r> i deleted it
[10:53] <negge^> b4l7424r: you'll have to reinstall it then
[10:53] <b4l7424r> so its not possible to boot without grub installed_
[10:53] <negge^> I don't think so
[10:54] <yakman> what is the command to control things on startup, i think its something like "rc-update" or similar
[10:54] <ubunubi> i checked lsmod to see what driver my network card was assigned but the "use" column by the network driver says 0? does that mean it's not really in use or?
[10:54] <LSD|Ninja> ubunubi: that just means no other modules depends on that one
[10:54] <ubunubi> LSD|Ninja: thanks

[11:07] <Surge_> Is there an "alternative" CD install for the server version of Ubuntu? I only see the altenative install for the desktop distro.
[11:07] <ikonia> Surge_: there is no need for an alternative server cd
[11:07] <ikonia> Surge_: the server cd does not install with a X11 gui
[11:07] <erpo> Surge_: I believe there is. Why?
[11:08] <joaopinto> Surge_, the sever cd is already an "alternate" alike method
[11:08] <ikonia> erpo: there is not
[11:08] <elkbuntu> Cyber_Stalker, this is a support channel, random chatter happens in #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:08] <simoo> Hi, I have problems with Ubuntu not using the sound card I want it too, it seems to choose a random one each boot. How can I choose which one Ubuntu uses?
[11:08] <anakron> HI!
[11:08] <erpo> simoo: You could remove or disable one sound card.
[11:09] <anakron> im from Ubuntu-Cl, chilean community
[11:09] <anakron> nice to meet you
[11:09] <tparcina> why my ProFTPd isn't listening for any port? - http://pastebin.ca/1064513
[11:09] <unohu> anakron: nice to meet u too :-)
[11:09] <simoo> erpo: thanks, I can't remove because it's on board, how do I disable?
[11:09] <ikonia> anakron: hi, this is a support channel, you'll get some random chatter in #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:09] <tparcina> it says that it's started, but netstat doesn't show that
[11:09] <joaopinto> tparcina, ps -ef | grep ftp
[11:09] <anakron> i know it...
[11:10] <erpo> simoo: Check your bios. There should be a section called "Integrated Peripherals" or something like that.
[11:10] <negge^> simoo: check this out: http://dalejefferson.org/blog/how-change-default-sound-card-ubuntu/
[11:10] <simoo> erpo: that doesn't work, Ubuntu detects it anyway
[11:10] <tparcina> joaopinto: tomo      4683  4648  0 12:37 pts/0    00:00:00 grep ftp
[11:10] <negge^> had to do it myself too once
[11:10] <erpo> simoo: Are you sure you've disabled it?
[11:10] <simoo> erpo: yeah
[11:10] <Dr_willis> i wonder if one could black list the module for the one soundcard.
[11:10] <joaopinto> tparcina, so it is not running, have you checked the logs ?
[11:11] <tparcina> joaopinto: thank you, I'll check them now
[11:11] <negge^> Dr_willis: disabling it BIOS would be way easier
[11:11] <erpo> simoo: You could delete or rename the kernel module for the bad sound card as Dr_willis suggested.
[11:11] <simoo> Dr_willis: thanks
[11:11] <Dr_willis> negge^ if the bios lets it do it. wich seems to  be a problem in this case. :)  Gotta love cheap bios's
[11:11] <simoo> erpo: thanks, where is the blacklist file?
[11:12] <Dr_willis> !blacklist
[11:12] <Johnny> http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://imwithgenius.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/screenshot-1.png&imgrefurl=http://imwithgenius.wordpress.com/2008/04/17/whos-laughing-now/&h=1024&w=1280&sz=2100&hl=en&start=193&sig2=0gpYeNTPm_KDl4pqElty2g&um=1&tbnid=RQvNVbw9fIBJ4M:&tbnh=120&tbnw=150&ei=o-txSIu5G5SypgSW-7SABA&prev=/images%3Fq%3D%2Bubuntu%2Bscreenshots%26start%3D189%26ndsp%3D21%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN
[11:12] <Johnny> what is the little icon panel at the bottom claled?
[11:12] <simoo> ubottu: thank you :)
[11:12] <threequarks> is there a news ticker app for the gnome desktop?  i'm aware of the widgets you can get for place rss feeds on your desktop, but i'm more after a tickertape widget with scrolling headlines right to left?
[11:12] <Dr_willis> simoo,  ubottu  is a bot. :)
[11:12] <threequarks> johnny: try tinyurl next time. easier to cut and paste...
[11:13] <simoo> Dr_willis: haha oh
[11:13] <angelo> Hello, can I use ICQ 6 with ubuntu 8.04 LTS? Thanks for info!
[11:14] <threequarks> angelo > try pidgin.
[11:14] <erpo> angelo: You can access ICQ with pidgin.
[11:14] <tparcina> joaopinto: there is nothing in /var/log/proftpd/controls.log and proftpd.log and  cat /var/log/messages | grep ftp doesn't show anything
[11:14] <erpo> angelo: It supports the latest ICQ protocol.
[11:15] <tparcina> is there any other log that I should search in?
[11:15] <simoo> hi again, what is the best way to find out what module my on board sound card is using?
[11:15] <LSD|Ninja> simoo: lsmod
[11:15] <Surge_> ikonia: That's odd - maybe I didn't have the server CD install. I got a nice live CD when I booted off it. The problem being that there is no software RAID configuration in the GUI whereas the alternative CD has it.
[11:15] <erpo> simoo: lsmod, and look for something that sounds like the chip you're using.
[11:15] <eth01> simoo: go to the manufacturers website.
[11:15] <s3a_> simoo: u want to find out wat sound card u have?
[11:15] <erpo> simoo: You can also google for the output of lsmod to see what hardware is supported by each driver.
[11:15] <joaopinto> tparcina, /var/log/daemon.log
[11:15] <LSD|Ninja> if it's opnboard though, chances are it's using hda-intel or intel8x0
[11:15] <eth01> (providing you know the motherboard model etc)
[11:16] <simoo> erpo: thanks, do all the sound card mdules begin with snd?
[11:16] <LSD|Ninja> also ones, yes
[11:16] <LSD|Ninja> alsa*
[11:17] <tparcina> joaopinto: /var/log/deamon.log doesn't say anything about ProFTPd (grep ftp)
[11:18] <joaopinto> ok, that is odd
[11:18] <simoo> thanks for all the help guys, think I got it
[11:18] <joaopinto> tparcina, this is not a fix for your specific problem, but why proftpd instead of vsftpd ?
[11:18] <eth01> tparcina: locate proftpd ?
[11:18] <joaopinto> vsftp has builting SSL support, and it's supported by the ubuntu core devs
[11:19] <tparcina> joaopinto: I thouth that proftd is the default one for Ubuntu
[11:19] <tparcina> joaopinto: what Ubuntu users/developers sugest to use?
[11:19] <joaopinto> tparcina, proftpd is avaialble on universe, vsftp is available on main
[11:19] <joaopinto> I would recommend vsftpd
[11:20] <tparcina> eth01: I have execute "locate proftpd" it doens't return anything
[11:20] <eth01> tparcina: have you got it installed?
[11:20] <tobago|away> how can format/fill an ipod shuffle under ubuntu? i installed packages hfsplus and gtkpod...
[11:20] <tobago|away> but the ipod is not mounted.
[11:20] <enahat> tr
[11:21] <eth01> tparcina: use SFTP..
[11:21] <eth01> (FTP is old and slow)
[11:21] <eth01> we live in 2008 :)
[11:21] <SwedeMike> slow?
[11:21] <eth01> reasonably slow.
[11:21] <SwedeMike> in what way is ftp slow?
[11:22] <eth01> not answering that question, you should know
[11:22] <SwedeMike> no, I don't.
[11:22] <eth01> awww, well you better go ask google
[11:22] <eth01> because i'm not debating it in here.
[11:23] <eth01> :-)
[11:23] <SwedeMike> give me a pointer? initiating the command channel? because transfers are TCP window size dependant, and that's not FTPs fault.
[11:24] <tparcina> eth01: I guess I have. I head /etc/proftpd/ directory with conf files. how can I check is it installed?
[11:24] <kelvin911> hi any opera user here?
[11:24] <tparcina> eth01: I thouth that ftp is faster than sftp?
[11:25] <eth01> tparcina: sudo apt-cache show proftpd iirc
[11:25] <logixoul> Hey guys! When will gcc 4.3 be available on Hardy? Or where can I check?
[11:25] <Pizarro> I'm trying to execute a win app with wine and I get : :wgl:X11DRV_wglCreateContext Cannot get FB Co... Can anyone help me please?
[11:26] <eth01> or try dpkg -l '*proftpd*'
[11:26] <joaopinto> Pizarro, better ask on #winehq
[11:26] <anabolix> can someone tell me how to fix resolutions? i installed warcraft 3, and it fits the screen perfectly at 800x600
[11:26] <anabolix> but anything else doesnt
[11:27] <joaopinto> tparcina, not really.. since sftp uses compression, they should provide you similar rates
[11:27] <joaopinto> anabolix, please ask on #winehq
[11:27] <anabolix> thanks
[11:27] <eth01> er, SFTP as suggested, would be noticely better
[11:27] <eth01> noticebly *
[11:28] <tparcina> it seams that it's installed. but I'm switching to vsftpd
