[09:32] <pommer> funneh *giggles*
[09:32] <javaJake> pommer, huh?
[09:32] <winchesterPAT> its based on IOquake
[09:33] <MasterAslan> My system is unbootable.  It stops at loading manual drivers.  two lines before that it does say udevd-event[3597] : run_program: '/sbin/modeprobe' abnormal exit.
[09:33] <pommer> jafa...cake?...right
[09:33] <pommer> am i wrong

[09:34] <joshritger> I have used gPodder to download some podcasts, when I try to play them in rhythmbox they will not play, but in any other audio player they play. Can someone tell me how to get them to play in rhythmbox?
[09:34] <javaJake> pommer, heh, np

[09:34] <MasterShrek> winchesterPAT, its now really an fps...
[09:34] <MasterShrek> not*
[09:34] <underwatercow> winchesterPAT: lol, I don't
[09:34] <winchesterPAT> sure
[09:34] <javaJake> aleka, you need to be running Gutsy for it to be officially supported
[09:35] <Lr5> Any ideas what could be wrong with my internet?
[09:35] <javaJake> aleka, or else you'll have to use someone else's (possibly crappy) package to install it
[09:35] <riotkittie> where'd my friend with the dpkg issue go?
[09:35] <sd32> does anyone know when firefox will be updated again,its been awhile since 2007 came out?
[09:35] <javaJake> Lr5, no, not enough info.
[09:35] <sparr> At some point around February of this year, apache 2.x started keeping its files in /etc/apache2 and /var/log/apache2 and so on.  Some other packages seem unaware of this change, webalizer in particular.  Can anyone provide any insight?
[09:35] <javaJake> Lr5, what card are you running?
[09:35] <Lr5> javaJake: some integrated I think, let me find out
[09:36] <javaJake> Lr5, oooo... ;)
[09:36] <riotkittie> noo.
[09:36] <lamego> sd32, software is not updated after the release except for critical bugs
[09:36] <rfgermain> i have bt home hub, for those of you not from england its a voip phone and wireless hub in 1, i have a piece of shit running ubuntu - obviously the internet works with the ethernet cable connected into the back of the hub! no probs, but i have a usb wireless adapter and cant get it to talk to hub?
[09:37] <underwatercow> anyone in here use sbackup?
[09:37] <sd32> lamego..what?   its been updating up to 2006???????
[09:37] <joshritger> !podcast
[09:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about podcast - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:37] <lamego> it is updated, with security fixes, not with features
[09:37] <LeChacal> hello does anyone here know the GRUB entry for Mac OS X 10.4.3 or if Mac is even supported? I checked the GRUB site and didnt find anything.
[09:37] <lamego> erm, with
[09:37] <sd32> lamego, so 2007 will never come out for linux?
[09:37] <kitche> LeChacal: if grub doesn't mention it then no but probably uses a bsd setup for grub but no clue
[09:37] <javaJake> underwatercow, used to before I discovered BackupPC
[09:37] <pommer> where do i get more ubuntu window themes>#
[09:37] <pommer> ?
[09:38] <runemaste644> im trying to kill a window in gnome
[09:38] <kal> i just got my comp... can't wait to install gusty
[09:38] <javaJake> pommer, gnome-look.org?
[09:38] <runemaste644> How do i do that?
[09:38] <underwatercow> javaJake: is it better for some reason?
[09:38] <kal> should i make a cd of the Release Candidate?
[09:38] <darkchr0n0s> kal : too bad you have to wait
[09:38] <radioman_> why you kill, be gentle with gnome ;}
[09:38] <runemaste644> i killed its process
[09:38] <lamego> sd32, there is no such thing as "for linux", I am referring to the firefox package for Ubuntu
[09:38] <pommer> gnome-look.org?
[09:38] <javaJake> underwatercow, better for multiple computers, and it just does backup better. sbackup is a bit clumsier, but it'll do the job.
[09:38] <runemaste644> but its still there
[09:38] <javaJake> underwatercow, but very difficult to configure
[09:38] <riotkittie> runemaste644: killall process or kill -9 process
[09:39] <riotkittie> you can also fire up xkill
[09:39] <sd32> lamego, thats what im talking about also
[09:39] <runemaste644> THE PROCESS IS DEAT BUT THE WINDOW IS STILL THERE
[09:39] <[MH] NarcismLapto> How do I install qmake? sudo apt-get install _____ ?
[09:39] <Mark7> Hello.  Does anyone know a Simple Instant Messenger IRC channel?
[09:39] <javaJake> !caps | runemaste644
[09:39] <ubotu> runemaste644: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[09:39] <underwatercow> javaJake: Well, SBackup seems to serve my purposes... I'm just not clear on what the "Simply" option does in the scheduler as opposed to choosing a precise time... Was that option there when you used it?
[09:39] <Lr5> javaJake: Ethernet controller: Realtek SEmiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 01)
[09:39] <kitche> [MH] NarcismLapto: it might be part of one of the qt -dev packages
[09:39] <astro76> runemaste644, alt+f2, type xkill, click on the window
[09:39] <sd32> lamego, the <IP_ADDRESS> is to fix  a quicktime expolitt
[09:40] <lamego> sd32, the latest firefox is available for any linux distribution, if you do a manual installation
[09:40] <javaJake> Lr5, that's ethernet. Is that not working?
[09:40] <kitche> [MH] NarcismLapto: I would do apt-cache search qmake
[09:40] <Lr5> javaJake: nope, not working
[09:40] <runemaste644> Thanks!
[09:40] <javaJake> underwatercow, no, I used it a long time ago...
[09:40] <lamego> however, you should keep with the supported versions, which are, the released versions plus security fixes
[09:40] <javaJake> underwatercow, back before there was a forked project
[09:40] <javaJake> Lr5, OK
[09:40] <runemaste644> and i learned a new command
[09:40] <[MH] NarcismLapto> thanks kitche!
[09:40] <rfgermain> if you buy a wireless adapter made for windows and the install disk is all windows files? what do you do to get it working?
[09:40] <LeChacal> kitche: ill try that i didnt think of that and OSX is unix based and BSD is probably pretty close
[09:40] <astro76> sd32, Firefox is the one exception in Ubuntu, it does get updates to the latest Firefox versions
[09:40] <kal> read the manual
[09:41] <axjv> I just accidentally xkill'd firefox... Lol.
[09:41] <astro76> sd32, within days of them coming out
[09:41] <kal> u'll learn a lot of new and cool commands :)
[09:41] <Blackkatt> can anyone help me with installing xbmc on ubuntu ..that freaking make wount complete.
[09:41] <lamego> rfgermain, I would check the model, and search on google if someone had success using it on linux, and how
[09:41] <sd32> astro, thankss
[09:41] <kitche> LeChacal: Mac is sorta based on freebsd but they are getting away from a lot of the freebsd stuff since it's a hybrid system now
[09:41] <runemaste644> Where is a BitTorrent Meta File?
[09:41] <Mark7> Sim
[09:41] <lamego> Blackkatt, please pastebin your error
[09:41] <Mark7> Anyone?
[09:41] <rfgermain> thanks lamego, i apologise for my retardness
[09:42] <runemaste644> i cant find one so i cannot use BitTorrent
[09:42] <Blackkatt> lamego: okay... will do
[09:42] <javaJake> Lr5, http://www.phoronix.com/blogs/david/?k=blog&i=60 - maybe not you, but worth a read
[09:42] <darkchr0n0s> Mark7 : what exactly are you looking for ?
[09:42] <Mark7> Okay.  Can anyone tell me why Sim-IM has such a hard time with Yahoo?
[09:42] <underwatercow> javaJake: The tutorial I found didn't have that as an option either... I'm guessing it must backup, though perhaps not on a set schedule...  maybe based on CPU usage?
[09:42] <lamego> rfgermain, no problem, when your hw is not supported out of the box, probably someone spent some time playing with it ;)
[09:42] <Mark7> Hey Dark/  See above
[09:42] <neopsyche> Still nothing on nvidia
[09:43] <neopsyche> for rez
[09:43] <darkchr0n0s> Mark7 : you want a messenger ?
[09:43] <javaJake> underwatercow, yea, it might "simply" backup whenever convenient, i.e., guessing based on certain factors.
[09:43] <lamego> underwatercow, never saw a backup based on cpu usage, is not something very sane for a backup run :)
[09:43] <darkchr0n0s> Mark7 : install pidgin
[09:43] <ticnailer69> how can I edit the xorg.conf file to allow me to use a 1600x1200 resolution?
[09:43] <Lr5> javaJake: worth a try, brb
[09:43] <neopsyche> I need to change resolution on ubuntu.. i need some resolution for this problem :-)
[09:43] <neopsyche> using nvidia gf6600
[09:43] <darkchr0n0s> ticnailer69 : look for the pattern in the xorg.conf file
[09:43] <Varongitano> hi i need help
[09:43] <axjv> neopsyche: You'd be better off using 905resoluation.
[09:43] <axjv> 905reolustion*
[09:44] <neopsyche> its stuck on 800x600
[09:44] <axjv> 905resolution*
[09:44] <underwatercow> lamego: well, I'm just grasping at straws... ;-D You can tell it to backup precisely or simply, and simply doesn't let you choose when at all... any better ideas?
[09:44] <ticnailer69> yeah
[09:44] <ticnailer69> lame
[09:44] <Draconicus> Hey, I've been bouncing around between video cards for a while now. I'm back on my old GeForce 2 (with nvidia-glx-legacy installed), and when I try to start with the nvidia driver I get an error saying it couldn't "run the nvidia install command". What's going on?
[09:44] <lamego> underwatercow, reading the manual ;)
[09:44] <axjv> I mean, 915resolution x.X
[09:44] <underwatercow> lamego: I've been trying to find a manual
[09:44] <javaJake> Lr5, brb
[09:44] <lamego> underwatercow, for sbackup ?
[09:44] <neopsyche> MasterShrek: when i check the settings in the sysinfo nvidia gui it says "auto" where i should be able to change resoltions.
[09:44] <underwatercow> lamego: yes
[09:45] <Varongitano> I downloaded the x386 version of ubuntu from ubuntus web page but i cant boot from disk, I receive a message " boot corrupted "
[09:45] <runemaste644> i need a bittorrent meta file
[09:45] <runemaste644> where do i get one?
[09:45] <javaJake> runemaste644, for what?
[09:45] <runemaste644> BitTorrent
[09:45] <lamego> underwatercow, man simple-backup
[09:45] <crossbones> broadcom wifi how do I get it working on 7.10 beta
[09:46] <underwatercow> lamego: rotfl... well that was the obvious answer
[09:46] <crossbones> its integraded chip on laptop
[09:46] <runemaste644> I just want to use BitTorrent!!!
[09:46] <underwatercow> lamego: which I didn't think of for some reason
[09:46] <lamego> to an obvious question :P
[09:46] <darkchr0n0s> crossbones : u need ndiswrapper (google it)
[09:46] <crossbones> and then
[09:46] <moope1> Does anyone know how to install the quake wars serveR?
[09:46] <javaJake> Lr5, back
[09:46] <lamego> underwatercow, dpkg -L sbackup
[09:46] <underwatercow> lamego: I guess because I don't use it on the command line, it didn't occure to me to check the man pages
[09:46] <Varongitano> hi i need help plz
[09:46] <lamego> that was how I found the man pages
[09:46] <darkchr0n0s> crossbones : goto site, they have decent instructions there
[09:46] <runemaste644> I don't want no steenkin meta file
[09:46] <Draconicus> runemaste644: Search for "torrent" in Synaptic
[09:46] <Varongitano> hi i need help plz
[09:47] <Draconicus> To hell with this nightmare. I hate Ubuntu support channels. ._.
[09:47] <lamego> underwatercow, np, man is the standard linux man page access ;)
[09:47] <Varongitano> hi i need help plz
[09:47] <underwatercow> lamego: I know this, I just wasn't thinking clearly about it ;-D
[09:47] <darkchr0n0s> Varongitano : just ask the question
[09:47] <ticnailer69> How can I change that resolution in the xorg.conf file?
[09:47] <Varongitano> I downloaded the x386 version of ubuntu from ubuntus web page but i cant boot from disk, I receive a message " boot corrupted "
[09:47] <crossbones> thank you darkchr0n0s
[09:48] <javaJake> Varongitano, this is when you boot the CD?
[09:48] <Varongitano> yes
[09:48] <Varongitano> I dont know what to do
[09:48] <Varongitano> I never used ubuntu
[09:48] <IndyGunFreak> burn another disk?
[09:48] <javaJake> Varongitano, you should reburn the CD - it sounds like it wasn't burned right
[09:48] <Varongitano> i tried mandriva but not ubuntu
[09:48] <ticnailer69> I've tried changing the res to 1600x1200 but when I go to desktop setting the new resolution change is not there...
[09:49] <Varongitano> java JAke I thought it was the cd
[09:49] <underwatercow> lamego: the man pages are useless
[09:49] <L0GAN> will ubuntu perse need username and password?
[09:49] <IndyGunFreak> underwatercow: ????? the man pages are chok full of info,...
[09:49] <javaJake> Lr5, it looks like your card should work no problem. :?
[09:49] <Varongitano> but how much space available do i need to have in my hard disk
[09:49] <underwatercow> IndyGunFreak: the simple-backup man pages are useless
[09:49] <sd32> will firefox  <IP_ADDRESS> be in the gutsy update?
[09:49] <IndyGunFreak> if u say so.
[09:49] <javaJake> Lr5, I cannot help anymore since I need to go
[09:50] <underwatercow> IndyGunFreak: lol, you jumped in to the middle of a conversation, but thanks ;-D
[09:50] <lamego> sd32,  <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:50] <Lr5> javaJake: kk, cya
[09:50] <Varongitano> javaJake
[09:50] <Varongitano> but how much space available do i need to have in my hard disk
[09:50] <astro76> sd32, like I said, it will get the latest Firefox versions
[09:50] <IndyGunFreak> underwatercow: ya, i just have always foudn the man pages  pretty informative.
[09:50] <dgjones> ticnailer69, you may need to modify your horizsync and vertrefresh settings to match your monitors capeabilities before the new resolution will work, check your monitor manual & make sure that those settings are right in the xorg.conf
[09:50] <javaJake> Varongitano, 2GB at least
[09:50] <ticnailer69> got you
[09:50] <sd32> astro76, ok thanks
[09:50] <javaJake> Varongitano, more if you install extra software and have lots of docs and stuff in your home dir
[09:50] <underwatercow> IndyGunFreak: I do too... but this program isn't very well documented...
[09:50] <Varongitano> yeap, its ok with that, but can I start from CD when Im running XP?
[09:50] <javaJake> Varongitano, I recommend at least 10GB, no less, but the minimum required for install is 2GB
[09:51] <IndyGunFreak> underwatercow: could be.
[09:51] <javaJake> Varongitano, no, not yet
[09:51] <javaJake> Varongitano, they are working on that. :)
[09:51] <javaJake> Varongitano, ttyl
[09:51] <Tarkus_> hey, anyone here using emesene? i have myself added on my contacts. but it wont show my display picture (avatar).. any idea how i can get it to show my own avatar?
[09:51] <tom_> Hi can anyone tell me how to setup amsn in fiesty please?! or how to get the cam working on kopete?
[09:51] <MasterShrek> neopsyche, but it doesnt give you any other options, cuz it should, and if it doesnt then you probably dont have your gfx driver installed correctly
[09:51] <Varongitano> ok, cause I have Start.exe file but nothing happens
[09:51] <Ashfire908> is there another way of logging someone out other than killing their bash?
[09:51] <javaJake> Varongitano, pm-ed you my e-mail
[09:51] <javaJake> Varongitano, and, no, running it in Windows will not help
[09:51] <The_Joe_> Can anyone tell me how to install packages from .tar.gz archives?
[09:52] <D0ug16> Would somone please be able to help me?
[09:52] <lamego> underwatercow, have you run simple-backup-config as mentioned on the manual ?
[09:52] <MasterAslan> My system is unbootable.  It stops at loading manual drivers.  two lines before that it does say udevd-event[3597] : run_program: '/sbin/modeprobe' abnormal exit.
[09:52] <Varongitano> ok, so I have to re burn a cd, and then try it again?
[09:52] <javaJake> !ask | D0ug16
[09:52] <ubotu> D0ug16: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:52] <codecaine> The_Joe I can tell you how to extract files from it but it could be anything in there to install files in it
[09:52] <neopsyche> MasterShrek: how can i install it correctly?
[09:52] <harry_> The_Joe_: A tar.gz of source files?
[09:52] <MasterAslan> picture of what I can get in from alt + sysreq + t
[09:52] <MasterAslan> http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w16/brianmichaelh/ubuntu/14102007035.jpg
[09:53] <The_Joe_> codecaine: I'm sure I know how to extract
[09:53] <The_Joe_> harry_: Well I got it from packages.ubuntu ^^
[09:53] <neopsyche> MasterShrek: It gives me the graphics 3D ok for cube effect etc.. so 3d works.. but its just stuck in 800x600
[09:53] <MasterShrek> The_Joe_, you dont install them, you have to compile them, extract it and cd to the directory, then run    ./configure   when thats done run   make   after that   sudo make_install
[09:53] <D0ug16> dpkg: failed to open package info file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' for reading: No such file or directory -- That is the message I get when I try to run 'dpkg --configure -a' to fix the package manager.
[09:53] <tgm4883> is there a channel for ubuntu wiki help or should I ask in here?  I'm trying to get a picture to link
[09:53] <The_Joe_> MasterShrek: Thanks
[09:53] <Varongitano> im going to try egain... c ya
[09:53] <MasterShrek> neopsyche, ic, well then its probably set up correctly, type:   lsmod | grep nvidia   in a terminal and see if it gives you any output
[09:54] <underwatercow> lamego: I manged to discover that simply is "meant for anacron". Does that mean anything to you?
[09:54] <D0ug16> Please I'm desperate for help.
[09:54] <markelhas> !WL107G

[09:54] <porkpie> hi guy's  I am runing a 64bit xen kernel and want to build a 32bit domU using debootstrap but I am not sure of the url to use for the 32bit os
[09:54] <lamego> underwatercow, yes, anacron is a scheduler
[09:54] <The_Joe_> Hopefully after doing this I'll have internet on my Ubuntu laptop
[09:54] <markelhas> need some help to config my asus WL107G.
[09:54] <darkchr0n0s> MasterShrek : when will the question round stop ;)
[09:54] <tgm4883> astro76, the image is on there.  What I want is someone to be able to click on the picture and have them linked somewhere
[09:55] <SanityInAnarchy> How do I get hald to notice a new wireless card? (without rebooting)
[09:55] <lamego> underwatercow, man anacron :)
[09:55] <MasterShrek> The_Joe_, you need to: sudo apt-get install build-essential     first
[09:55] <harry_> The_Joe: why not install a .deb file?
[09:55] <underwatercow> lamego: already on it, lol... but I'm still not sure how to know when the program will run
[09:55] <nomaS> !java
[09:55] <MasterShrek> darkchr0n0s, never lol
[09:55] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[09:55] <astro76> tgm4883, can't do that, MoinMoin isn't very full featured
[09:55] <opexoc> Is there anyone who can tell me why if I execute ls -l | egrep h[23] o then it throws nothing, but if I execute ls -l | egrep h[23]  then it throws h2o and h3o name of files?
[09:55] <tgm4883> :(
[09:55] <porkpie> currently I use this command that downloads the 64bit os debootstrap edgy /mnt/xen/ http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
[09:55] <The_Joe_> harry_: I couldn't find a .deb actually
[09:56] <Lr5> Is there any chance something could have messed up my internet configuration?

[09:56] <The_Joe_> MasterShrek: Will that require internet?
[09:56] <porkpie> what is the name of the 32bit server version of ubuntu
[09:56] <markelhas> need some help to config my asus WL107G.
[09:56] <MasterShrek> The_Joe_, i suppose it will, but in order to compile something you need that
[09:56] <markelhas> can't connect to my router with wpa
[09:56] <underwatercow> How is it determined when an anacron task should run?
[09:57] <The_Joe_> MasterShrek: Well that defeats the whole point of ndiswrapper -.-
[09:57] <ticnailer69> "FREQUENCY - Horz.: 30 ~ 97 KHz        Vert.: 50 ~ 180 Hz " do these values correspond to the vertrefresh and horizsync settings in the xorg.conf file?
[09:57] <MasterShrek> neopsyche, ok your driver is working, have you looked at /etc/X11/xorg.conf yet?
[09:57] <Lr5> umm
[09:57] <Lr5> that's strange
[09:57] <MasterShrek> The_Joe_, can u get it plugged in wired just for enough time to download those packages?
[09:57] <Lr5> I can connect to my router
[09:57] <Lr5> but nothing else
[09:57] <L0GAN> when using Fat32 for the WUBI virtual disk to install ubuntu on, the filesystem allows files of 4GB max. Will WUBI split it when using larger files?
[09:57] <MasterShrek> ticnailer69, yes
[09:57] <fevel> can someone help me?
[09:57] <neopsyche> mastershrek: i will look now
[09:58] <The_Joe_> MasterShrek: Um. Our internet connection is retarded like tha
[09:58] <MasterShrek> !ask | fevel
[09:58] <ubotu> fevel: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:58] <underwatercow> lamego: So does anacron execute as often as possible within the parameters then?
[09:58] <The_Joe_> MasterShrek:So... no
[09:58] <fevel> i have turned on desktop effects but there is no button to turn it off
[09:58] <Lr5> now lan, too. :s
[09:58] <lamego> underwatercow, it is you which must setup the task on /etc/anacrontab
[09:58] <ticnailer69> So I should set the horizsync setting to 30-97?
[09:58] <underwatercow> lamego: the program sets it up, all I have to do is click "simply"
[09:58] <lamego> underwatercow, jobs are called by anacron, as defined on /etc/anacrontab
[09:58] <brianski> is there a way i can call printk() from the cmdline? or some other way to see how much time has elapsed since boot so i can make sense of the timestamps in dmesg?
[09:58] <MasterShrek> fevel, where did you turn them on? go back and uncheck the box
[09:58] <The_Joe_> I can probably find it on packages.ubuntu anyway
[09:58] <fevel> how do i go about turning off desktop effects
[09:58] <lamego> ok, so it is setup with a given schedule, which you can check on the anacron config
[09:58] <fevel> MasterShrek, I did that but it seems something is still active
[09:59] <MasterShrek> ticnailer69, somewhere in there, it will probably automatically set it to whatever the monitor handles
[09:59] <MasterShrek> fevel, did you restart your xserver?
[09:59] <ticnailer69> sh
[09:59] <neopsyche> MasterShrek: pastebin
[09:59] <fevel> and another simple question I have is how do I set beryl as default window manager
[09:59] <underwatercow> lamego: I'm asking about how anacron actually workds as opposed to cron. Cron will only execute at a given time and will skip if the computer was off... anacron runs as often as possible with the time delay you set, right?
[09:59] <lamego> underwatercow, correct
[09:59] <fevel> because when I restart my system beryl is inactive
[09:59] <L0GAN> anyone know wubi?
[10:00] <neopsyche> MasterShrek: http://pastebin.com/d6543c77
[10:00] <neopsyche> MasterShrek: xorg.conf
[10:00] <lamego> underwatercow, anyway, that is described on the first page of the anacron man ;)
[10:00] <ticnailer69> MasterShrek, well, I don't think that it is doing that because I have set the resolution to the highest setting that the monitor can handle but when i go to change it in the settings, all I see is 800x600
[10:01] <MasterShrek> neopsyche, how did u install your nvidia driver? through the restricted drivers manager?
[10:01] <MasterShrek> ticnailer69, thats the same problem that neopsyche is having
[10:01] <ticnailer69> hmm
[10:02] <The_Joe_> MasterShrek: I'm not sure what you mean by ./configure
[10:02] <ticnailer69> I'm just being careful not to mess up the settings
[10:02] <neopsyche> first installed using sudo apt-get install i think.
[10:02] <MasterShrek> The_Joe_, type that after you cd to the directory
[10:02] <neopsyche> Then i enabled it in the manager.
[10:02] <neopsyche> Because it was disabled
[10:02] <ticnailer69> neopsyche, Are you having problems with the resolution settings too?
[10:02] <The_Joe_> MasterShrek: Ah
[10:03] <The_Joe_> I get a bash ^^
[10:03] <MasterShrek> neopsyche, ic, i always use the drivers from nvidias site
[10:03] <harry_> When I try to launch xman, it gives me Xman Error: No manual pages found.
[10:03] <neopsyche> where?
[10:03] <nios> how to create a root user ?
[10:04] <MasterShrek> harry_, i think u need to put something after that, the program for which you want a manual page for
[10:04] <ubersoldat> nios: what for?
[10:04] <neopsyche> i heard theres a way to install drivers so that the nvidia screen pops up before the login screen
[10:04] <MasterShrek> !root | nios
[10:04] <ubotu> nios: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[10:04] <The_Joe_> MasterShrek: Apparently there is no ./configure
[10:04] <Lr5> umm, how's it possible that ping can access google.com but firefox can't?
[10:04] <Rich4> What cd ripper works best on ubuntu?
[10:04] <harry_> MasterShrek: No, I read the manpage and you pick after is starts
[10:04] <IndyGunFreak> !rip
[10:04] <MasterShrek> The_Joe_, well then skip it and type: make
[10:04] <ubotu> For information about the Sound Juicer ripping application see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping. To rip an Audio CD in KDE, put it in and then put audiocd:// in the Konqueror URL bar
[10:05] <harry_> MasterShrek: where are the man pages in Ubuntu?
[10:05] <nios> ah sudo -i
[10:05] <The_Joe_> MasterShrek: I get several unreadable errors
[10:05] <nios> ;)
[10:05] <Lr5> oops, wrong computer, nevermind
[10:05] <_steiner_> man man
[10:05] <IndyGunFreak> harry_: in the terminal, type "man program name".. for instance, "man firefox"
[10:05] <MasterShrek> harry_, /usr/share/doc
[10:05] <The_Joe_> Same with make install
[10:06] <MasterShrek> The_Joe_, did you apt-get install build-essential
[10:06] <andy58> lo all
[10:06] <lamego> The_Joe_, what are you trying to build ?
[10:06] <_steiner_> anyone successfully installed oracle 9i (9208) on ubuntu?
[10:06] <The_Joe_> lamego: ndiswrapper
[10:06] <MasterShrek> The_Joe_, isnt ndiswrapper on the cd?
[10:06] <MasterShrek> i know there is an ubuntu package of it somewhere
[10:06] <Faltzer> I'm in a tight spot here. =/
[10:07] <The_Joe_> MasterShrek: Apparently not, I tried it but it said "No current version installed"
[10:07] <andy58> will the Ubuntu 7.1 release require reinstall? or will it update?
[10:07] <lamego> The_Joe_, have you tried: apt-cache search ndiswrapper ?
[10:07] <The_Joe_> MasterShrek: I got it from packages.ubuntu, along with the GUI
[10:07] <_steiner_> andy58: It will support Update.
[10:08] <Faltzer> I recently installed Ubuntu, and after I upgraded using the update manager, Firefox corrupted.
[10:08] <Faltzer> I tried Epiphany, but that won't open.
[10:08] <andy58> ahh, so when it's released, will my updater inform me?
[10:08] <crispy-afk> Hello, ive got some sound problems! More info on it in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3532797#post3532797
[10:08] <crispy-afk> Any ideas?
[10:08] <_steiner_> check www.ubuntu.com it says 4 days..
[10:09] <_steiner_> and yes you should get notified by the update manager. I think youll get an option to install or not..
[10:09] <lamego> hum, will we get a notification ? will it change the repositories by itself ?
[10:10] <MasterShrek> Faltzer, rm -r ~/.mozilla
[10:10] <MasterShrek> then try for firefox
[10:10] <_steiner_> i guess otherwise its strange to have an update option.
[10:10] <zoidberg_> hey guys....where and how can you download more visualizations for Rhythmbox?
[10:10] <andy58> I am REALLY new to Ubuntu, and from looking at what 7.1 offers, it doesnt seem to have much that a nooby will appreciate
[10:11] <Faltzer> After I run that command I try what for firefox?
[10:11] <The_Joe_> Gah build-essential is also a tar.gz
[10:11] <lamego> _steiner_, usually doing upgrade requires manually changing the sources.list
[10:11] <kbrooks> andy58, 7.10. and it has much!
[10:11] <lamego> The_bob, build-essential is a package from the repositories !
[10:11] <lamego> ops, it was The_Joe_
[10:11] <MasterShrek> andy58, better hardware support, compiz-fusion by default
[10:11] <kbrooks> andy58, please elaborate
[10:11] <IndyGunFreak> The_Joe_: its int he repos, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[10:11] <MasterShrek> and yes its 7.10 (2007 October)
[10:11] <MasterShrek> IndyGunFreak, hes not online
[10:11] <MasterShrek> on that machine
[10:11] <andy58> Well I'm new to Ubuntu as I said.. I used to be a MS Vista man..
[10:12] <OiPenguin> I've installed 7.10 rc server edition. At first reboot after install, my machine has been stuck at (/etc/rc.local) for 10-15 minutes. Is this right? If not, what do I do?
[10:12] <andy58> I don't know what Nautilus etc are..
[10:12] <MasterShrek> pew
[10:12] <IndyGunFreak> MasterShrek: eww.. that could bve all sorts of fun
[10:12] <The_Joe_> IndyGunFreak: I _can't_ my Ubuntu isn't online
[10:12] <The_Joe_> I'm using Windows now
[10:12] <kbrooks> andy58, okay...
[10:12] <act1v8> Hello!
[10:12] <IndyGunFreak> The_Joe_: what are you trying to compile?
[10:12] <IndyGunFreak> !hi
[10:12] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[10:12] <MasterShrek> andy58, nautilus for ubuntu = explorer for windows
[10:12] <DevideZero> i can install yast on ubuntu ?
[10:12] <The_Joe_> IndyGunFreak: ndiswrapper
[10:12] <andy58> So from reading the list of updates.. A lot of it seems to be things I don't understand yet.. Except fast user switching!
[10:12] <act1v8> Where can I get Gusty RC? I can't wait till thursday :)
[10:12] <IndyGunFreak> The_Joe_: i'm pretty sure thats on the CD.
[10:12] <Faltzer> MasterShrek, what did you say I do afterwards after running the remove firefox command?
[10:12] <The_Joe_> So I can get it online
[10:12] <andy58> ahh thanks MasterShrek
[10:13] <MasterShrek> DevideZero, probably not, why would you? use aptitude
[10:13] <The_Joe_> IndyGunFreak: Well yes but it "didn't work"
[10:13] <edubuntu> Hola all!!!
[10:13] <MasterShrek> Faltzer, try to run firefox again, it was probably just user settings
[10:13] <kbrooks> andy58, you'll understand with time.
[10:13] <IndyGunFreak> The_Joe_: hmm.
[10:13] <MasterShrek> Faltzer, and it was .mozilla  in your home directory
[10:13] <_steiner_> maby this could shed some lights on the update question: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades
[10:13] <andy58> kbrooks, I know :)
[10:13] <zoidberg_> hey guys....where and how can you download more visualizations for Rhythmbox?
[10:13] <Faltzer> MasterShrek, no.
[10:13] <Faltzer> Here is the error:
[10:14] <IndyGunFreak> The_Joe_: is ther eany way you can run an ethernet cable to the pc in question?
[10:14] <MasterShrek> Faltzer, if its long, pastebin it
[10:14] <MasterShrek> !paste
[10:14] <The_Joe_> IndyGunFreak: So I got it from packages.ubuntu
[10:14] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[10:14] <The_Joe_> IndyGunFreak: No, because of the way my internet works
[10:14] <_steiner_> I do not know if you have to change the reps, but my hope and guess is that its taken care by the update.
[10:14] <IndyGunFreak> The_Joe_: ok.
[10:14] <andy58> Is Flash linux compatible?
[10:14] <Faltzer> MasterShrek, "Failed to execute child process "firefox" (no such file or directory)"
[10:14] <MasterShrek> andy58, yes
[10:14] <Lr5> !ipv6
[10:14] <IndyGunFreak> andy58: yes
[10:14] <ubotu> To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[10:14] <IndyGunFreak> !flash
[10:14] <Faltzer> MasterShrek, at least that's what it says.
[10:14] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[10:14] <andy58> cool........
[10:14] <MasterShrek> Faltzer, type: locate firefox
[10:14] <MasterShrek> or whereis firefox
[10:14] <The_Joe_> Ahhh ./configure worked with build-essential!
[10:15] <harry_> !Gnash
[10:15] <ubotu> An open source flash replacement.  It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
[10:15] <The_Joe_> So apparently build-essential is installed
[10:15] <IndyGunFreak> The_Joe_: well thats good.
[10:15] <Faltzer> MasterShrek, it's long..
[10:15] <peacepipejv> is it ok to ask what the iLife alternative is?
[10:15] <mahone> I'd have a question regarding not stricly Ubuntu, but IP filtering in general...May I ask it?
[10:15] <The_Joe_> Aand it doesn't work when I use it in ndiswrapper
[10:15] <MasterShrek> Faltzer, type this instead: whereis firefox
[10:15] <IndyGunFreak> The_Joe_: well, not really, build-essential installs some commonly needed dependencies when you compile software
[10:15] <andy58> Thanks guys, catch you later
[10:15] <darkchr0n0s> somebody gonna get hurt real bad !!
[10:16] <Faltzer> MasterShrek, "/etc/firefox /usr/lib/firefox /usr/share/firefox /usr/share/man/man1/firefox.1.gz
[10:16] <Faltzer> "
[10:16] <The_Joe_> IndyGunFreak: I'm getting some kind of error, it simply says, make: *** [all]  Error 2 when I use sudo make on ndiswrapper
[10:16] <kbrooks> mahone, ask it
[10:16] <MasterShrek> Faltzer, you are going to have to reinstall firefox
[10:16] <peacepipejv> simple yes or no
[10:16] <Faltzer> MasterShrek, how exactly? I can't find it in the Add/Remove programs.
[10:16] <mahone> I'm building a Virtual Appliance for VMware, using Ubuntu
[10:17] <kbrooks> mahone, there is also #iptables if we dont help. but ask us first
[10:17] <mahone> For the sole purpose of P2P
[10:17] <The_Joe_> I'm not sure what it means
[10:17] <kbrooks> mahone, go on.
[10:17] <mahone> I installed an configured Azureus and KMLDonkey
[10:17] <mahone> Now it comes the part of installing some IP filtering program
[10:17] <Faltzer> MasterShrek, I even tried Epiphany and it doesn't open, and it returns no error.
[10:17] <mahone> I found on the net moblock and ipfilter
[10:17] <kbrooks> The_Joe_, exactly. pastebin all the output of make, including the command
[10:17] <MasterShrek> felipe, sudo apt-get remove firefox    then    sudo apt-get install firefox
[10:17] <mahone> Sorry, iplist
[10:18] <kbrooks> mahone, iptables is already included in all linux distributions.
[10:18] <mahone> In your opinion, which is the best?
[10:18] <The_Joe_> kbrooks: Will take me a while, the PC I have Ubuntu on is offline
[10:18] <MasterShrek> moblock is probably better mahone
[10:18] <kbrooks> The_bob, and including the prompt after the command finishes
[10:18] <kbrooks> The_Joe_, ^
[10:18] <kbrooks> The_bob, sry
[10:19] <Faltzer> MasterShrek, I think this might be a problem: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg received a segmentation fault.
[10:19] <Dialntone> everytime i try to connect over smb - on windows, to linux it prompts for a password
[10:19] <kbrooks> MasterShrek, just a second.
[10:19] <Dialntone> hwo to i add names or accounts so i can connect to this linux on windows,
[10:19] <kbrooks> mahone, ** iptables is already included in all linux distributions.**
[10:19] <MasterShrek> Faltzer, thats not good, your system has some major problems
[10:19] <Pie-rate> Nautilus is using a solid 50% CPU (1 core). Why?
[10:19] <Pie-rate> I tried restarting X
[10:19] <Faltzer> MasterShrek, oh no. What's going on now?
[10:20] <mahone> kbrooks, I know, but these tools let you download and update periodicly lists of IPs to block
[10:20] <_steiner_> Dialntone: what do you mean, how do you want to connect? ssh or windows networking?
[10:20] <MasterShrek> Faltzer, im not sure, but your system has issues if u dpkg is seg-faulting
[10:20] <kbrooks> mahone, oh k
[10:20] <sleejay> =ie: nautilus has a mean memory leak
[10:20] <mahone> Automaticly, from websites that mantain them
[10:20] <Faltzer> MasterShrek, so what would I do to reformat?
[10:20] <Dialntone> _steiner_,  i setup folder sharing
[10:20] <kbrooks> mahone, everything else that creates a firewall is just a frontend to that. so i suggest you take the time to learn iptables as well.
[10:20] <MasterShrek> Faltzer, probably your best bet
[10:20] <Faltzer> MasterShrek, so what do I do to reformat>?
[10:20] <Dialntone> but when i try connecting over windows it askes for a password, and i enter in my password -- but it won't let me in
[10:20] <mahone> kbrooks, OK
[10:21] <MasterShrek> Faltzer, same thing you did to install
[10:21] <_steiner_> Dialntone: sudo apt-get install samba
[10:21] <Ashfire908> what would i use to compare two folders
[10:21] <Faltzer> MasterShrek, Insert the CD? Or do I select Ubuntu Recovery mode in the OS Select?
[10:21] <Dialntone> its' already installed
[10:21] <brodmann> what's the filename for all the network interface card information.
[10:21] <ckin2001> Dialntone, did you use smbpasswd to add a user ?
[10:21] <kbrooks> Faltzer, just insert the cd and reboot
[10:21] <The_Joe_> Oh great now my USB disk stopped mounting -.-
[10:21] <MasterShrek> Faltzer, you could try recovery mode, but i dont know what it would really do for you, i would just put hte cd in and greshly install
[10:22] <_steiner_> oki try smbpasswd then (pick a unix account and create an samba password for that account)
[10:22] <The_Joe_> Ah
[10:22] <kbrooks> MasterAslan, recovery mode will give the same problem.
[10:22] <_steiner_> or if you want to set it up withourt using authentication, you could set the security to share
[10:22] <Dialntone> failed to change password for edward
[10:22] <Faltzer> MasterShrek, does this mean I have to do the partition parts again? =-=;
[10:22] <Pie-rate> lsof|grep nautilus: http://pastebin.ca/736768
[10:22] <brodmann> what's the filename for all the network interface card information.
[10:23] <Dialntone> is there a gui for this ?
[10:23] <The_Joe_> kbrooks: Ok finally pasting the output
[10:23] <The_Joe_> kbrooks: http://pastebin.ca/736771
[10:23] <ckin2001> Dialntone, SWAT is the web interface, I don't use it, can't help you with it
[10:23] <Ashfire908> is there some thing i could use that comes with the system that can compare folder
[10:24] <crispy-afk> Any help on my question? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3532797#post3532797
[10:24] <Faltzer> MasterShrek, would it help for me to say that I had Firefox open at the time of updating?
[10:24] <kbrooks> The_Joe_, dont see any problem
[10:24] <Faltzer> MasterShrek, Because I'm not sure if that was the problem, or a problem with dpkg.
[10:24] <_steiner_> Dialntone: yes gui: webmin
[10:24] <The_Joe_> kbrooks: Well nothings... working
[10:25] <kbrooks> Faltzer, dont worry about it
[10:25] <porkpie> guy's how can I tell what version of dapper I am runing ...  need to know if it's 32bit
[10:25] <_steiner_> you can download an debian/ubuntu package at http://www.webmin.com
[10:25] <peertje888> my kernel waits 15 seconds before he's got through that I haven't plugged in a network cable, how can I shorten that?
[10:25] <darkchr0n0s> i went to windows channel and asked, how do i compile windows from source ;)
[10:25] <MasterShrek> Faltzer, no thats not a problem
[10:25] <The_Joe_> kbrooks: I'm getting the program isn't installed when I try installing the driver
[10:25] <MasterShrek> Faltzer, and the partitioning thing shouldnt be too hard either
[10:25] <Lr5> Finally fixed the internet problem
[10:26] <Lr5> Apparently Firestarter was not functioning properly, and caused something strange
[10:26] <Faltzer> Faltzer, Well, it took me a long time go figure this out...
[10:26] <_steiner_> Dialntone: webmin is also nice for many other servers and system configurations.
[10:26] <Lr5> and didn't let anything go to internet
[10:26] <kbrooks> _steiner_, btww webmin isnt supported here
[10:26] <brodmann> anyone know the name of the file to see all of your NICs settings?
[10:26] <kbrooks> well, er
[10:26] <Faltzer> MasterShrek, Well, it took me a long time go figure this out...
[10:26] <Pie-rate> what would make nautilus flip out and start using 100% of a cpu core?
[10:26] <kbrooks> webmin was removed from a later ubuntu version because it is unmaintained
[10:26] <peertje888> how come it takes 5 seconds to check if image is ramfs?
[10:26] <ckin2001> brodmann, /etc/network/interfaces
[10:26] <_steiner_> i know but Dialntone asked if there was an gui for configuring samba, and i told him there is.
[10:27] <The_Joe_> Ndiswrapper is simply not installing
[10:27] <Dialntone> i installed swat but its' not in my system
[10:27] <MasterShrek> back in a few....
[10:27] <mwax> does ubuntu have problems detecting usb 2.0
[10:27] <adamrn83> hi   anyone know a program that converts m4a files to mp3 etc
[10:27] <Faltzer> kbrooks and strangely sometimes on Ubuntu install window for partitioning, it sometimes chooses to show the little bar for partitioning, and sometimes it doesn't show the bar at all.
[10:27] <mwax> are there drivers i need?
[10:27] <_steiner_> you need to use your browser to access swat
[10:28] <kbrooks> Faltzer, cant help
[10:28] <_steiner_> try: http://<IP_ADDRESS>:901
[10:28] <Faltzer> kbrooks, okay sorry. I'll just reformat then.
[10:28] <brodmann> thanks
[10:28] <kbrooks> mwax, no, linux (the base of ubuntu) has drivers for usb 2.0, so it depends on the hardware
[10:28] <adamrn83> m4a to mp3 conerting
[10:28] <kditty> would this be the proper chann to ask a question about php, or is there a better place to get help?

[10:39] <stephans> mehevi: I was on last night and  trying to get a new iPod to work...
[10:39] <andrew_> how do i get back into ubuntu?
[10:39] <andrew_> gui
[10:39] <mehevi> andrew_ have you modified your xorg.conf file to reflect the fact you uninstalled your drivers?
[10:40] <stephans> mehevi:As far as I can tell, you can not use any of the new iPod with linux...
[10:40] <RAdams> If I have 4 gb of RAM, only x86_64 can take advantage of that, correct?
[10:40] <Xargo> hi ho ppl :D just tried ubuntu (and even linux in general) for the first time :D
[10:40] <andrew_> probably not.. er... i tried to use vesa instead of nv
[10:40] <asn> Hey, I downloaded an icon set which is just a zip folder full of pngs. How can I install these? Theme manager won't instlal them in GNOME.
[10:40] <mehevi> stephans have you thought of instead of using an iPod with linux, you put linux on the iPod?
[10:40] <Pici> RAdams: The server kernel can take advantage of that as well.  If you have a PAE processor, which you probably do.
[10:40] <andrew_> how can i reinstall the drivers?
[10:40] <andrew_> from command.
[10:40] <Xargo> anyone ever had a problem with a wireless keyboard at the login screen?
[10:41] <andrew_> I need to get back into ubuntu
[10:41] <RAdams> pici: but the 32 bit kernel cannot use 4 gb, correct?
[10:41] <Xargo> my wireless keyboard works even when i'm editing my BIOS, but not at the login screen of ubuntu
[10:41] <stephans> mehevi: how does that work?
[10:41] <axjv> Does anyone know how to change the icon of a launcher to an ico or png file?
[10:41] <Pici> RAdams: The generic kernel cannot, but the server kernel is 32bits and can.
[10:41] <andrew_> exit
[10:41] <stephans> mehevi: i mean interface wise...
[10:41] <mehevi> andrew_ first you need to install 'links' use apt get to do it.  then navigate to the nvidia source, download, and install

[10:55] <dgjones> !envy | zerocool
[10:55] <ubotu> zerocool: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[10:55] <ikonia> zerocool: because it has the potential to bork your system, more so for users who don't understand what it does
[10:55] <andrew_> I had the original ones which i assume were installed in the installation
[10:55] <Dialntone> no
[10:55] <ikonia> !nvidia >andrew_
[10:55] <andrew_> But then i also did a sudo apt-get install something or other

[10:56] <andrew_> someone from this channel

[11:06] <ikonia> sd32: you don't
[11:06] <Ciorapel> In windows ... I got that "cleanup" thing goin on .. and deleted all my content
[11:06] <andrew_> ikonia: I got the blue and red screen of error
[11:06] <frenky> where does ubuntu write core files?

[11:06] <ikonia> sd32: ubuntu will offer you updates when you can them
[11:07] <Sergo> i can't play the movie on www.kab.tv
[11:07] <ikonia> andrew_: as I've just said, its because its not configured
[11:07] <Faltzer> galeon %U
[11:07] <Sergo> i can't find the required codec..
[11:07] <sd32> ikonia, ok  thanks
[11:07] <Viking667> Hi all..... errr.... wow..... that's a BUCKET LOAD of nicks...
[11:07] <Faltzer> "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"
[11:07] <Ciorapel> So can you help me ?
[11:07] <ubersoldat> ikonia: sd32 is right, but you could download it and install it , but this will break your repositories for firefox
[11:07] <andrew_> ikonia: ok im going to try configure xserver-xorg
[11:07] <Viking667> Anyhow, I'll make my question quick. How easy is it to dist-upgrade ubuntu from Feisty to the next release?
[11:07] <ikonia> andrew_ thats right, make sure you select the "nvidia" driver, not "nv"
[11:07] <endo> ubersoldat: is /usr/bin usually where my programs are kept?
[11:08] <andrew_> ikonia: on the xserver config i am now greeted with a new option for gfx cards.
[11:08] <andrew_> calld 'nvidia'
[11:08] <ikonia> andrew_: of course
[11:08] <frenky> Faltzer: for example - but where is the core dumped to?
[11:08] <ubersoldat> Viking667: usually you get a button for this on the update manager
[11:08] <ikonia> andrew_: and you'll find that now works
[11:08] <Dialntone> i can't wait to start work at the end of the year
[11:08] <Ciorapel> soundray: can u help me ?
[11:08] <sd32> ubersoldat, ok thnaks
[11:08] <andrew_> ikonia i now have option to use nv or nvidia
[11:08] <andrew_> ikonia: which one?
[11:08] <ubersoldat> endo: /usr/bin, /usr/sbin
[11:08] <ikonia> andrew_: nvidia
[11:08] <andrew_> ok
[11:08] <Dialntone> so i can buy me a kick ass motherboard and cpu combo from fry's
[11:08] <soundray> Ciorapel: no. Incidentally, why are you asking this in #ubuntu rather than ##windows ?
[11:08] <tsukasa_> anyone know of a good super light-weight http server?
[11:08] <endo> ubersoldat: kinda like the equivilant of program files if you will?
[11:08] <tsukasa_> as lightweight as possible
[11:09] <Faltzer> I'm not sure
[11:09] <Ciorapel> Cos' Ubuntu is the only os that is working now
[11:09] <ubersoldat> endo: yes
[11:09] <ikonia> tsukasa_: apache will do for most needs, but there are lighter options for specific needs
[11:09] <endo> awesome, thanks
[11:09] <Viking667> ubersoldat: hm. Haven't seen that yet
[11:09] <Faltzer> frenky: I'm not sure where it's dumped to.
[11:09] <endo> ubersoldat: that command is still running
[11:09] <sd32> its just been awhile since <IP_ADDRESS> came out
[11:09] <Ciorapel> And I can't write anything on other partition becouse will distroy all my data
[11:09] <Hilikus_> im following the modem installation instructions but im stuck, i ran scanModem and i know i have a Motorola modem but i dont know what else to do
[11:09] <soundray> Ciorapel: just reformat your Windows partition with ext3 and use it for data.
[11:09] <endo> didn't give me any results, but i'll look in the dir
[11:09] <ikonia> sd32: firefox will likley not be updated
[11:09] <ubersoldat> Viking667: should be there
[11:09] <Ciorapel> soundray:  I had some files on that partition that I want to recover .. not the OS
[11:09] <soundray> Ciorapel: or reinstall Windows.
[11:09] <Hilikus_> i read everything in /Modem but its all generic, nothings specific to my case
[11:09] <Viking667> Then I'll take a look again. Thank you.
[11:09] <sd32> ikonia,why?
[11:09] <Cpudan80> Hello all
[11:09] <ubersoldat> Viking667: anyhow, you could try using apt-get dist-upgrade
[11:10] <Cpudan80> I am trying to dual boot XP and ubuntu
[11:10] <peacepipejv> uber: so, my email address as mydomain.com?
[11:10] <Dialntone> ____ROOM___  >> is there a ide to usb thing out on the market ?
[11:10] <ikonia> sd32: because more things are linked/dependant on firefox
[11:10] <soundray> sd32: the update to <IP_ADDRESS> only affects the Windows version of FF
[11:10] <ubersoldat> peacepipejv: yeap
[11:10] <axjv> ubersoldat: Thanks.
[11:10] <Cpudan80> I am running the install -- it should setup the grub dual boot stuff automatically, right?
[11:10] <ikonia> sd32: so without a good reason to update, its a lot of effort
[11:10] <Flannel> Cpudan80: yes
[11:10] <jdong> Cpudan80: ineed it will
[11:10] <dgjones> Cpudan80, yes
[11:10] <peacepipejv> ok, i shoulda known
[11:10] <Cpudan80> it never really asked about how to set it u
[11:10] <Cpudan80> up*
[11:10] <Cpudan80> OK good
[11:10] <Cpudan80> I am coming over from SuSE
[11:10] <tsukasa_> ikonia, you dont think apache creates too much overhead?
[11:10] <Viking667> ubersoldat: yes, I realised that, but the person I'm doing it for is not computer-literate - she doesn't like them much.
[11:10] <Cpudan80> 10.3 failed horribly at the dual boot stage
[11:10] <silent> what options do I have in regards to a widget engine... similar to the launch bar found in os x?
[11:10] <ikonia> tsukasa_: no
[11:10] <ikonia> tsukasa_: very light weight
[11:10] <junkeR> opensuse 10.3 OR kubuntu 7.10?
[11:10] <Cpudan80> Here's to hoping that Fiesty Fawn will do better!
[11:10] <jdong> Cpudan80: Ubuntu tends to take a "Don't ask the user what's obviously desired" approach
[11:11] <ikonia> junkeR: thats personal opinion, you decide
[11:11] <ubersoldat> peacepipejv: if not, use a port scanner to scan all ports 25 on your domain and see wich one is open
[11:11] <Chinaski1> hello, anyone know how to duplicate screen using the vga port?
[11:11] <sd32> soundray, then why is there a <IP_ADDRESS> update on the firerfox website
[11:11] <Faltzer> frenky: I'm not sure where my core is dumped to.
[11:11] <Cpudan80> jdong: he he
[11:11] <Faltzer> frenky: where can I find this?
[11:11] <andrew_> ikonia: i typed /etc/init.d/gdm start
[11:11] <ikonia> sd32: because firefox just deals with a browser - no OS compatability
[11:11] <Cpudan80> SuSE just wouldn't put grub on sda1
[11:11] <Cpudan80> No idea why
[11:11] <Ciorapel> soundray: On that partition I had 40 GB of data and the windows ... and windows deleted all the content except the used files. So I had only 400-500 mb occupied space. Now I have the Ubuntu partition untouched (windows didn't deleted anything on this partitions). And I have to recover the 30-40 Gb of data .. not the actually OS (windows)
[11:11] <ubersoldat> sd32: there's a process for Ubuntu to have update of software on the repos
[11:11] <andrew_> ikonia: it said [ok]
[11:11] <Pici> sd32: The exploit that .7 fixes is for a Windows Quicktime exploit.
[11:11] <ikonia> andrew_ just easier to reboot
[11:11] <Cpudan80> But - I'll probably have some newb questions in a bit :-)
[11:11] <soundray> sd32: because they keep the version numbers in sync, even if the software hasn't changed.
[11:11] <andrew_> ok
[11:11] <sd32> oohh, ok
[11:12] <andrew_> cheers ;-)
[11:12] <Cpudan80> not new to *nix, just new to ubuntu and its way of doing things
[11:12] <peacepipejv> uber: i rcv "ener valid hostnmae". Can you give me an example, say, of hotmail
[11:12] <jdong> sd32: <IP_ADDRESS> fixes http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2007/mfsa2007-28.html
[11:12] <peacepipejv> oops, enter
[11:12] <frenky> Faltzer: figured it..
[11:12] <Faltzer> frenky: Hm??
[11:12] <Cpudan80> One thing I do want though, is there a way you can enable su in ubuntu?
[11:12] <ubersoldat> peacepipejv: neither hotmail, yahoo or gmail allows you to use email clients
[11:12] <frenky> Faltzer: set "ulimit -c unlimited"
[11:12] <Cpudan80> I'd rather not use sudo every time
[11:13] <peacepipejv> sucks
[11:13] <jdong> Cpudan80: you can either do "sudo su"
[11:13] <ikonia> Cpudan80 yes, but if you don't know how to do so, you shouldn't
[11:13] <jdong> Cpudan80: equivalent to "sudo -s"
[11:13] <ikonia> jdong: don't recommend that
[11:13] <frenky> and in the current directory core file will be created.
[11:13] <soundray> Ciorapel: read this carefully: you use WINDOWS to wreck files in your WINDOWS partition, and now WINDOWS doesn't boot. There is NO POINT asking this in a ubuntu channel.
[11:13] <sd32> ok thanks everybody!!
[11:13] <endo> anyone know where I can find Deluge on my hard drive?
[11:13] <jdong> Cpudan80: it is gneerally less preferred to using sudo because of the benefits that sudo brings
[11:13] <endo> n/m found it
[11:13] <Cpudan80> Will this installer ask me to set the root passwd somewhere along the way?
[11:13] <Faltzer> frenky: doesn't appear
[11:13] <ikonia> Cpudan80: no
[11:14] <Flannel> Cpudan80: no.  Ubuntu doesn't use the root password, using sudo instead.
[11:14] <Cpudan80> no..?
[11:14] <ikonia> Cpudan80: no
[11:14] <specialbuddy> #kubuntu
[11:14] <Pici> !sudo | Cpudan80
[11:14] <Ciorapel> soundray: the only thing am I asking for is : Is there a Data Recovery software for Ubuntu that I can use to recover data from a NTFS partition ?
[11:14] <ubotu> Cpudan80: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:14] <Cpudan80> So I just use my password to run as root?
[11:14] <dgjones> !root | Cpudan80
[11:14] <ubotu> Cpudan80: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[11:14] <ikonia> Cpudan80: correct
[11:14] <fujin_> indeed; you can even disable the password prompt
[11:14] <jdong> Cpudan80: sudo prompts you for your password to gain root priviledges
[11:14] <silent> where is the recycling bin in root? (/....)
[11:14] <frenky> Faltzer: --> private
[11:14] <Scunizi> Cpudan80, when you need to do something as root preface the command with sudo and use your normal password.
[11:14] <Chinaski1> hello, anyone know how to duplicate screen using the vga port?
[11:14] <Faltzer> ??
[11:15] <Viking667> user password, that is.
[11:15] <jdong> fujin_: that's usually a terrible idea though
[11:15] <Cpudan80> Scunizi: ok gotcha
[11:15] <Faltzer> frenky: huh?
[11:15] <Sephiroth> I'm trying to unmount an NTFS partition through GParted, but whenever I do, it auto-remounts itself. What would I need to do to disable this automounting?
[11:15] <Cpudan80> suse did the root stuff a little different
[11:15] <fujin_> Thanks for your input.
[11:15] <andrew_> ikonia: it has installd the drivers but...
[11:15] <ikonia> Cpudan80: this isn't suse
[11:15] <andrew_> ikonia: still blue screen..
[11:15] <Cpudan80> What happens if I've got a user who shouldnt be able to sudo ?
[11:15] <frenky> Faltzer: I've sent you a private message.
[11:15] <ikonia> andrew_: paste the xorg log in a pastebin
[11:15] <andrew_> ikonia: on start looking at the output it says i have the wrong driver for the module
[11:15] <Cpudan80> ie. a stupid user who will screw up stuff
[11:15] <fujin_> Cpudan80: make them not in the 'admin' group. man sudo, vi /etc/sudoers
[11:15] <tussey> what's generally the most used program for DVD ripping in linux?
[11:15] <soundray> !dualhead > Chinaski1, please read ubotu's private message
[11:15] <ikonia> Cpudan80: you add him to the admin group
[11:15] <andrew_> how can i get to pastebin from command?
[11:15] <Scunizi> Cpudan80, you can change their permissions to restrict it.
[11:15] <ikonia> Cpudan80: sounds like your not that different from the "user"
[11:15] <Cpudan80> alrighty
[11:16] <ikonia> andrew_: lynx ?
[11:16] <Pici> andrew_: install pastebinit and read its manpage
[11:16] <ikonia> Pici: cool trick
[11:16] <Ciorapel> Is there a Data Recovery software for Ubuntu that I can use to recover data from a NTFS partition ?
[11:16] <tussey> is Thoggen a decent DVD ripper?
[11:16] <Odd-rationale> Are shell scripts written in Python?
[11:16] <ikonia> Ciorapel no
[11:16] <Ciorapel> Ok thanx !
[11:16] <soundray> tussey: you're hoping to find statisticians here?
[11:16] <ikonia> Odd-rationale no
[11:16] <soundray> tussey: use k9copy
[11:16] <silas428> What's a compatible bluetooth for usb on linux and bsd?
[11:16] <Faltzer> frenky: I haven't recieved it.
[11:16] <jodde> Hi guys.
[11:16] <Odd-rationale> tussey: yes. only it rips to .ogg
[11:16] <andrew_> ikonia: lynx installing
[11:16] <jodde> I have a problem.
[11:16] <tussey> thanks
[11:16] <ikonia> andrew_: did you see pici's advice,
[11:16] <jdong> Odd-rationale: by strict definition, shellscripts are written in POSIX bourne shell scripting syntax interpreted by /bin/sh or /bin/bash
[11:17] <andrew_> ikonia: it said i had the wrong driver for this module
[11:17] <jodde> A shell located a certain file in /usr/include/gtk-2.0, but I can't find it.
[11:17] <pulseezar> where can i find an ubuntu version of adobe flash player for my firefox?
[11:17] <ikonia> andrew_: doesn't sound good
[11:17] <jdong> Odd-rationale: however, one can generally use any language with an interpretor to write "shell scripts" so the definition can get hazy
[11:17] <ikonia> pulseezar in the ubuntu repo's
[11:17] <Sephiroth> I'm trying to unmount an NTFS partition through GParted, but whenever I do, it auto-remounts itself. What would I need to do to disable this automounting?
[11:17] <ikonia> !flash >pulseezar
[11:17] <frenky> Faltzer: ok.. You have to check if your ulimit is set ok. Type ulimit -a and see if you have unlimited to "core file size"
[11:17] <dgjones> !flash | pulseezar
[11:17] <ubotu> pulseezar: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[11:17] <soundray> jdong: a script executed by tcsh is not a shell script, then?
[11:17] <andrew_> ikonia: it says mine driver is version 17.... something or other... and this module is version 19..... something or other .. please consult the nvidia txt files etc.
[11:17] <jodde> How do I find that directory?
[11:17] <Odd-rationale> Thx, jdong
[11:17] <ikonia> soundray yes tcsh is not python
[11:18] <pulseezar> lovely thanks
[11:18] <ubersoldat> tcsh sucks!
[11:18] <jdong> soundray: well I guess it's still interpreted by a shell :)
[11:18] <ikonia> soundray tcsh is cshell
[11:18] <andrew_> how can i copy the output of xorg error ?
[11:18] <pulseezar> i'm getting somewhere with ubuntu now...
[11:18] <frenky> Faltzer: and then when you have this executed from the same shell, run the program that creates core dump.
[11:18] <ikonia> andrew_ open the file in an editor like nano/vim etc
[11:18] <soundray> Sephiroth: go via System-Preferences-Removable Drives
[11:18] <ubersoldat> at least on HPUX
[11:18] <Faltzer> frenky: how do I create a core dump, sorry for being stupid
[11:18] <soundray> ikonia: I didn't say python
[11:18] <ikonia> ubersoldat: thats a silly comment
[11:18] <fryguy> What is the best way to access files on another linux machine on my lan?  I've got samba shares set up for windows access, but now that my primary machine is also linux I'm wondering if there is a better protocol to use than smb for remote file access on a lan?
[11:18] <ikonia> soundray: apologies, the other guy was talking about python being a shell script
[11:19] <frenky> Faltzer: Why for the love of god would you want to create core dump?
[11:19] <jdong> ikonia: #!/usr/bin/bzr shell ;-)
[11:19] <erUSUL> !nfs | fryguy
[11:19] <ubotu> fryguy: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[11:19] <dgjones> fryguy, nfs
[11:19] <fryguy> is nfs a better choice than smb?  and are there any other alternatives?
[11:19] <tussey> here is a theoretical question: If EVERY hardware device EVER made released specs, would linux be able to develop the most efficient driver system? something that fetched the correct drivers all the time everytime?
[11:19] <erUSUL> frenky: but you can use samba between linux machines too
[11:19] <Flannel> tussey: yes
[11:19] <soundray> fryguy: for casual file sharing, I use sshfs (loving it)
[11:19] <Faltzer> frenky: " Faltzer: and then when you have this executed from the same shell, run the program that creates core dump."
[11:19] <Snuxoll> tussey: yes
[11:19] <ikonia> !offtopic >tussey
[11:19] <Faltzer> I'm only doing what you direct me.
[11:19] <tussey> I've thought about that
[11:19] <frenky> Yes?
[11:19] <Sephiroth> soundray: Thanks.
[11:20] <antec> hi, I have ubuntu 6.06 installed, is there a way to upgrade to 7.04?
[11:20] <fryguy> soundray: I need something a bit more than casual filesharing.  I store my music library of a few hundred gigabytes on a fileserver that I regularly access
[11:20] <Dialntone> same here
[11:20] <ikonia> antec: not really as one is an LTS distro the other is not
[11:20] <andrew_> ikonia
[11:20] <silas428> will all bluetooth usb adapters work on linux and bsd?
[11:20] <tussey> I mean, typically all scanners do the same thing but companies don't share their drivers but if they were open the OSS would be able to develop sort of a pocket knife scanner driver
[11:20] <ikonia> andrew_ yes
[11:20] <ikonia> !offtopic | tussey
[11:20] <ubotu> tussey: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[11:20] <andrew_> ikonia: reconfigured xorg.conf to reflect change nvidia to nv
[11:20] <frenky> Faltzer: try "man core"
[11:20] <tussey> same thing with printers
[11:20] <ikonia> andrew_: why to nv ?
[11:20] <soundray> antec: yes, you can upgrade to 6.10 and from there to 7.04. But it's better to wait for 7.10 and do a fresh install using that, imo
[11:21] <andrew_> ikonia: it now boots into linux gnome no problem... says it is using the driver
[11:21] <frenky> Faltzer: and if you want to produce core file, "man kill"
[11:21] <andrew_> ;-)
[11:21] <tussey> alright alright, I was just thinking aloud and wanted OSS input. thank you
[11:21] <ikonia> andrew_: nv is not the nvidia driver
[11:21] <andrew_> i will chat to you under new username in gui
[11:21] <andrew_> cheers for now
[11:21] <ikonia> andrew_: ok
[11:21] <Pici> !nickspam > ] tyndareus]
[11:21] <soundray> tussey: people in #ubuntu-offtopic will be interested, I reckon
[11:22] <tussey> ty
[11:22] <antec> if I install 7.10 will I loose what I have on 6.06?
[11:22] <frenky> Faltzer: e.g. kill -11 $$ :)
[11:22] <ikonia> antec: I advise agaist it because 6.06 is LTS
[11:22] <Dialntone> whats lts?
[11:22] <antec> what does it mean lts?
[11:22] <dgjones> !lts
[11:22] <ubotu> LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[11:22] <ikonia> Dialntone: long term support
[11:23] <soundray> antec: yes. You should do a backup first. Or have 7.10 resize your existing partition and use it as /home
[11:23] <Dialntone> can i update my ubuntu too
[11:23] <antec> the problem i have is i can't install skype
[11:23] <soundray> antec: are you on 64bit?
[11:23] <Faltzer> frenky: the kill -11 $$ command made my terminal close.
[11:23] <antec> no, i'm on 32
[11:23] <Faltzer> frenky: was that the point of the command>?
[11:24] <Snuxoll> Faltzer: Yes, it is
[11:25] <neopsyche> ikonia: back in gui
[11:25] <Faltzer> frenky: Then.... now what?
[11:25] <antec> i need libasound2 1.0.12, where can i get it?
[11:25] <neopsyche> ikonia: are you there?
[11:26] <ikonia> neopsyche: yes
[11:26] <neopsyche> hi
[11:26] <neopsyche> ikonia: so im back in gui
[11:26] <neopsyche> screen is running at 1152x768
[11:26] <ikonia> neopsyche: and ?
[11:26] <neopsyche> ikonia: looking somewhat oval on the loading circle and everything is a bit stretched :-)
[11:26] <soundray> Chinaski1: have you read your private messages?
[11:27] <ikonia> neopsyche: configure xorg.conf to have the correct resolution
[11:27] <neopsyche> when i try to change my monitor to 1280x1024 it goes blank
[11:27] <] tyndareus] > what graphical backup software would you recommend on Ubuntu 7.04
[11:27] <ikonia> neopsyche: lower the refresh rate
[11:27] <Faltzer> *sigh*
[11:27] <David-A> Dialntone: do you have "/home" and "/" on different hd partitions? Then you can install a new the os without loosing your personal files.
[11:27] <soundray> !sbackup | ] tyndareus]
[11:27] <ubotu> ] tyndareus] : sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe
[11:27] <Faltzer> I'm just going to reformat Ubunt.
[11:27] <pvl1> My iPod wont automount
[11:27] <Dialntone> no
[11:27] <neopsyche> ikonia: a monitor message then pops up and says 'max resolution 1280x1024' !
[11:27] <soundray> Faltzer: what's the problem?
[11:28] <neopsyche> my refresh rate says 55hz but that is the ONLY option it gives in gui
[11:28] <ikonia> neopsyche: thats the maximum resolution your monitor will support then
[11:28] <Faltzer> soundray: The problem is, Firefox won't open.
[11:28] <Faltzer> soundray: because the child process does not exist (file or directory doesn't exist)
[11:28] <] tyndareus] > thx Soundray, Ubotu......does it work with DLT & LTO drives?
[11:28] <neopsyche> ikonia: I try to put it into that rez using gui screen tool and blank
[11:28] <ikonia> neopsyche: are you using the nv driver or nvidia driver ?
[11:28] <soundray> ] tyndareus] : I don't know, but don't think so
[11:29] <soundray> Faltzer: what kind of install do you have?
[11:29] <Faltzer> soundray: Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn. This error only happened after running the update manager.
[11:29] <neopsyche> ikonia: nv (and 3d is not working anymore but i have my screen res back now)
[11:29] <biouser> how would onelist the processes (in the terminal)?
[11:29] <ikonia> 22:43 < neopsyche> ikonia: nv (and 3d is not working anymore but i have my
[11:29] <ikonia> oops
[11:29] <biouser> *one list
[11:30] <Viking667> biouser: ps ax
[11:30] <ikonia> neopsyche I told you not to use the nv driver as that is not the nvidia driver
[11:30] <Faltzer> soundray: Plus, browsers don't open at all. Epiphany, Galeon, etc. don't open
[11:30] <neopsyche> ikonia: (in other words.. screen res would not go higher than 800x600 when working)
[11:30] <ikonia> neopsyche you need to use the nvidia driver for full card support
[11:30] <soundray> Faltzer: so you installed, firefox was working, and after update-manager it isn't any more?
[11:30] <Faltzer> soundray: yes.
[11:30] <biouser> Viking667, and to kill one?
[11:30] <neopsyche> ikonia: ubuntu will not boot when using nvidia driver because it says that i have the wrong version isntalld
[11:30] <ikonia> neopsyche: so fix that
[11:30] <neopsyche> how would i update to latest version?
[11:31] <soundray> Faltzer: probably just a matter of finishing the aborted update. Open a terminal and run 'sudo apt-get -f install'
[11:31] <LucianIndy> biouser: kill -9 [proc #]
[11:31] <ikonia> neopsyche: no-one said anything about updating to the latest version
[11:31] <ikonia> neopsyche: I said fix the problem.
[11:31] <ikonia> neopsyche not update
[11:31] <neopsyche> ikonia: how would it be fixed?
[11:31] <ikonia> neopsyche well, if you posted the xorg log as I request I would have gone through it with you
[11:31] <Faltzer> soundray: Nothing to upgrade..
[11:31] <neopsyche> ikonia: oh sorry.. where can i find those logs?
[11:31] <biouser> LucianIndy, thanks
[11:31] <Faltzer> soundray: nor install.
[11:31] <ikonia> but as you've just done your own thing when I was giving you the exact commands to type I've got other things to do now
[11:31] <neopsyche> ikonia: im a bit of a noobie
[11:31] <neopsyche> ikonia: :-)
[11:32] <soundray> Faltzer: okay. What do you get from a 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'?
[11:32] <biouser> Viking667, appreciated
[11:32] <LucianIndy> Does anyone know how to encrypt the ext file system?
[11:32] <ubuntu> oie!!

[11:34] <soundray> Faltzer: no, only enter firefox and hit return
[11:34] <neopsyche> ikonia: hey please give me some help.. i just really wanted to get back into Gui.. i have only switched to linux from windows like 2 weeks ago and am still learning man.
[11:34] <Faltzer> soundray: The program 'firefox' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[11:34] <Faltzer> sudo apt-get install firefox
[11:34] <Faltzer> bash: firefox: command not found
[11:35] <soundray> Faltzer: okay... what happens if you follow that advice?
[11:35] <] tyndareus] > neopsyche: if your only on linux for two weeks, is there any harm in you reinstall ubuntu ?
[11:35] <neopsyche> ikonia: thanks anyway.

[11:37] <LucianIndy> is it possible to encrypt your filesystem on ubuntu? for example, Power on -> Decrypt Filesystem -> Boot Ubuntu?
[11:38] <soundray> Faltzer: okay. Try this one please: 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install firefox'
[11:38] <erUSUL> neopsyche: what problem?
[11:38] <Colro> Firefox keeps slowing down considerably based on how long it's open / how many tabs are open, which I know is fairly common, but it never does it in windows -- is there a tweak I can use to help fix it? Getting a bit annoying :(
[11:38] <JoeBlacken> hi, if I download and install Ubuntu 7.10 RC, will that be updated automatically to the release version when its ready?

[11:50] <Colro> Firefox keeps slowing down considerably based on how long it's open / how many tabs are open, which I know is fairly common, but it never does it in windows -- is there a tweak I can use to help fix it? Getting a bit annoying :(
[11:50] <wabiD> close and reopen it
[11:50] <Viking667> inc595: as I said on another unrelated channel, I'm not in the financial position to do that.
[11:50] <IndyGunFreak> Colro: i've never had an issue like that, and i routinely have 5-6 tabs open
[11:51] <Colro> that doesn't fix the problem, though -- it just slows back down eventually
[11:51] <soundray> Faltzer: I haven't seen or heard of this kind of problem before, and I'm stumped. Something serious must have gone wrong on that update-manager run. If this was my machine, I would do a reinstall.
[11:51] <erUSUL> neopsyche: and the error msg was about missmatch between kernel driver and X driver?
[11:51] <pulseeza1> so...any killer apps that I should have? I need a music player and a bit torrent client to name a few.
[11:51] <wabiD> bittorrent -deluge
[11:51] <pulseeza1> what can't you live without?

[11:52] <neopsyche> erUSUL: yeah something like that !
[11:52] <neopsyche> erUSUL: something like that
[11:52] <soundray> pulseeza1: emacs
[11:52] <neopsyche> erUSUL: you are right
[11:52] <pulseeza1> youknowme: decided just to keep windows for gaming
[11:52] <wabiD> just install vlc and deluge-torrent from synaptic
[11:52] <erUSUL> neopsyche: and you didn't use envy or automatix...
[11:52] <inc595> anyone use avant window navigator?
[11:52] <Viking667> inc595: K6-II @533MHz, with Trident Cyberblade/i7 on its own AGP bus, but no agp slot.
[11:53] <youknowme> pulseeza1: ohic cool, well I'd definitely get VLC in case you come accross a media file you can';t play with other programs
[11:53] <neopsyche> erUSUL: no.. i may have used envy .. because i read somehting abotu that .. but i installed sysinfo and checked settings from there
[11:53] <Viking667> oh yeah, and a VIA Apollo MVP4
[11:53] <neopsyche> erUSUL: but i couldnt change resoltuion etc.
[11:53] <inc595> Viking667, a classic
[11:53] <wabiD> deluge is a simpler utorrent
[11:53] <neopsyche> erUSUL: stuck in 800x600 using nvidia driver
[11:53] <soundray> How does ubuntu intercept and recognize programs that are not installed, but available?
[11:53] <erUSUL> neopsyche: now check what version of the  nvidia-kernel-* package you have instaled...
[11:54] <Viking667> soundray: I *think* there's a bash hook...
[11:54] <pulseeza1> mmm can't find deluge on synaptic
[11:54] <erUSUL> soundray: maybe a bash funtion that inquires the apt database
[11:54] <Viking667> i.e. if ! $(which your-program); then echo "You don't have it here, but you can get it"; fi
[11:54] <inc595> Viking667, if you could get your hands on a 1GHz with at least an intel 3d card you;d be set
[11:54] <neopsyche> erUSUL: 20051028+Ubuntu7(feisty)
[11:54] <pulseeza1> yeah I got vlc already, used it in windows

[11:59] <scottDkoDer> I would like to play mp3's while playing enemy territory, but if I use for instance xmms et will fail to load the audio device even though the graphics work fine.  Any suggestions?

[12:00] <MasterShrek> Colro, do you have alot of extensions installed for ff?
[12:00] <soundray> Faltzer: just as you did the original install
[12:00] <neopsyche> erUSUL: ....
[12:00] <Colro> MasterShrek: No.
[12:01] <erUSUL> neopsyche: you could have messed something up
[12:01] <neopsyche> erUSUL: hmm
[12:01] <Faltzer> soundray: and I choose the same partition's I have for the current one?
[12:01] <pulseezar> is it ok to install deluge from it's website? The latest release is for feisty fawn...
[12:01] <MasterShrek> Colro, i would try backing up and removing ~/.mozilla and trying again
[12:01] <soundray> Faltzer: yes, it will reformat them. Backup any data you have.
[12:01] <neopsyche> erUSUL:  command envy not found
[12:01] <Colro> MasterShrek: I did, however, steal my windows profile which is probably quite a bit bogged down -- do you happen to know which files to save to keep my saved passwords and bookmarks so I can try a new profile?
[12:01] <pulseezar> and what media/music players do you guys use?
[12:01] <neopsyche> erUSUL: envy not installed
[12:01] <Faltzer> soundray: not like I have any data on here anyway. XD
