[12:02] <bayziders> The first one didn't work and the second didn't really do any thing
[12:02] <Flannel> bayziders: with backports, it's usually better to just download the package, and install with dpkg locally.  Since enabling the entire backports repository can be troublesome
[12:02] <hjmills> EnsignRedshirt, you told gyaresu_ the diff between sudo vim and visudo :) it helped me out
[12:03] <sylpheedClaws> visudo is sudoers-only
[12:03] <EnsignRedshirt> hjmills: Ah, OK.
[12:03] <bayziders> Where can I get the package and where can I get dpkg
[12:03] <sylpheedClaws> I recommend nano, personally
[12:03] <Flannel> bayziders: you already have dpkg, read the "Single package" instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[12:04] <cables> bayziders go to packages.ubuntu.com for the package. There's a package installer that should open if you doubleclick on the .deb file
[12:04] <sylpheedClaws> AND YOU SPEAK IN CAPS
[12:04] <TheShrewdDude> Hello everyone  :)
[12:04] <sylpheedClaws> AND SPAM
[12:04] <Flannel> Seveas, ping.
[12:04] <sylpheedClaws> hey
[12:05] <Flannel> bayziders: the actual package you'll end up downloading depends on what version of ubuntu you currently have
[12:05] <Seveas> Flannel, hiya
[12:05] <Flannel> Seveas: that was it ;)
[12:05] <TheShrewdDude> I've been using Chatzilla up to now, but gaim is built into edgy by default; how can I set a default irc channel to visit when I load gaim?
[12:05] <hjmills> oh Seaveas - I wanted to earn money!
[12:05] <Seveas> Flannel, I expected as much
[12:05] <Seveas> hjmills, get a job Lo
[12:05] <bayziders> I have the one before Edgy
[12:05] <marshall> hey guys
[12:05] <sylpheedClaws> Dapper
[12:05] <bayziders> Yeah
[12:05] <metroman> Who programmed Ubuntu>
[12:05] <sylpheedClaws> same... I always upgrade it
[12:05] <metroman> ?
[12:05] <TheShrewdDude> does anyone know how to set a default irc channel to go to when gaim loads up?
[12:05] <Seveas> metroman, a gazillion people
[12:05] <cables> metroman, a lot of people...
[12:06] <Dante123> I DID.
[12:06] <MotorCityMadMan> no i did
[12:06] <TheShrewdDude> Or whether there's a support channel? :P
[12:06] <sylpheedClaws> if you want to upgrade, USE THE SOURCES.LIST METHOD. it works better than using the update manager!
[12:06] <jhai1> Is it possible to download a video stream from (for example) the BBC?  I've got the location and it starts with mms://.  I tried using wget but it says "Unsupported scheme"
[12:06] <Seveas> !caps | sylpheedClaws
[12:06] <ubotu> sylpheedClaws: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[12:06] <corevette> how do you test to see if your graphics card is working?
[12:06] <Dante123> All by myself....except for some help from a guy named Linus.
[12:06] <sylpheedClaws> okay, I'll bold it... sorry
[12:06] <marshall> for some reason my spellcheck in openoffice writer isnt catching any spelling mistakes. even when i run the spellcheck it says there are no mistakes in the entire document even after i put things that should definately register as mistakes. anybody know how to fix this?
[12:06] <Flannel> bayziders: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper-backports/web/flashplugin-nonfree you can download the package at the bottom
[12:07] <Dante123> But then he turned against gnome so I dumped him.
[12:07] <EnsignRedshirt> sylpheedClaws: Which upgrade?  For breezy->dapper, Update Manager worked pretty OK for me.
[12:07] <sylpheedClaws> it isn't as reliable...
[12:07] <sylpheedClaws> it's never worked for me
[12:07] <TheShrewdDude> I guess not then.
[12:07] <bayziders> Can I just click install plug in on ff?
[12:07] <jhai1> I have it opened in Totem but there is no option to save.
[12:07] <Flannel> bayziders: no
[12:07] <corevette> how do you test to see if your graphics card is working?
[12:08] <sylpheedClaws> sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list, change dapper to feisty, sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:08] <sylpheedClaws> and corv,
[12:08] <sylpheedClaws> glxgears
[12:08] <hairulf1> corevette: type glxgears in a term
[12:08] <gradin> how can you tell if your running dapper or drake?
[12:08] <sterilegenie> glxgears print fps
[12:08] <sylpheedClaws> they're the same
[12:08] <Flannel> gradin: lsb_release -a
[12:08] <EnsignRedshirt> sylpheedClaws: Whoa, isn't edgy in between dapper and feisty?
[12:08] <Seveas> !version | gradin
[12:08] <ubotu> gradin: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[12:08] <sylpheedClaws> oh... never mind
[12:08] <sylpheedClaws> I was talking about what I did. whoops
[12:09] <hairulf1> corevette: Or glxinfo
[12:09] <sylpheedClaws> that's to go to the dev version
[12:09] <sterilegenie> or fglrxinfo
[12:09] <sterilegenie> or glxinfo
[12:11] <nexousNET> Hi.
[12:11] <[knap] > hello
[12:11] <bayziders> What form of program is not good to code in Bash?
[12:12] <nexousNET> How do I CHMOD var/www/ and all of it's files/folders to (777)?
[12:12] <Flannel> nexousNET: you don't want to do that
[12:12] <nexousNET> Flannel: What do I want to chmod it to then?
[12:12] <Flannel> nexousNET: you don't.  What are you trying to accomplish?
[12:12] <sterilegenie> depends on what you are trying to do
[12:12] <Zilus> hi
[12:13] <nexousNET> It's my server files folder, I need to be able to save, create, delete files/folders in there.
[12:13] <variant> nexousNET: for a start, don't do it
[12:13] <variant> nexousNET: 775 is much more secure and will allow you to do that
[12:13] <Flannel> nexousNET: one way would be to add yourself to the www-data group, that'll let you.
[12:13] <sterilegenie> var/www is your files folder? for what?
[12:13] <Flannel> sterilegenie: apache/httpd
[12:13] <nexousNET> ^   ^
[12:14] <sterilegenie> to the public or private?
[12:14] <Khem> I have got two monitors and nvidia card on edgy
[12:14] <nexousNET> private. The PC is offline.
[12:14] <Khem> how can I configure the second one
[12:14] <nexousNET> Flannel: How do I add myself to the www-data group??
[12:14] <sterilegenie> as suggested a 755 would be appropriate
[12:14] <sterilegenie> 775 oops!
[12:15] <Flannel> nexousNET: usermod, or "users and groups" in the systems menu
[12:15] <nexousNET> Flannel: okay.
[12:15] <sterilegenie> im guessing its the server edition of ubuntu
[12:15] <sylpheedClaws> serious problem

[12:17] <moreati> williammanda: WRONG WINDOW!

[12:17] <Flannel> xnix: #ubuntu+1 for feisty support
[12:18] <xnix> ok thakns, thats what i was wondering :D
[12:18] <EnsignRedshirt> klimraamkosie: Ubuntu Dapper

[12:19] <littleknopy> Hello All  Can I Mount a file RWable on a partition that is RO ??
[12:20] <sylpheedClaws> I'm having a problem with apt: I tried to upgrade straight to Feisty from Dapper, and this is what I got: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4772/
[12:20] <sylpheedClaws> Apt will now not work
[12:20] <Flannel> nexousNET: usermod -G www-data -a [username]
[12:20] <amonkey> during install, what should the swap's mount point be? does it need one?
[12:20] <bruenig> sylpheedClaws, that is a bad idea
[12:20] <sylpheedClaws> I tried apt-get -f dist-upgrade
[12:20] <Flannel> amonkey: swap doesn't mount anywhere.  just label it swap space
[12:20] <Flannel> amonkey: er, not label, indicate in the partitioner
[12:20] <amonkey> Flannel, thanks, just checkin, gotcha
[12:21] <nexousNET> Flannel: unable to lock password file.
[12:21] <cheeseboy16> how do i compile an app?
[12:21] <Flannel> sylpheedClaws: Dapper to Feisty isn't supported.  Thats probably why
[12:21] <Flannel> nexousNET: you'll need sudo
[12:21] <sylpheedClaws> I edited my sources.list afterwards to revert to Edgy

[12:21] <Flannel> nexousNET: close your users and groups thing
[12:21] <cheeseboy16> muphen64
[12:21] <cheeseboy16> mupen*
[12:21] <nexousNET> Flannel: It works, I just didn't know to use sudo with it.
[12:21] <MattS> 'loall
[12:22] <sylpheedClaws> any ideas?
[12:22] <hjmills> sylpheedClaws, well the latest kernel stuff is b0rked atm (check the forum homepage) so that may give probs but it looks like some repos havent been changed
[12:22] <bruenig> cheeseboy16, do you just have the tar.bz?
[12:22] <hjmills> night al
[12:22] <cheeseboy16> yes
[12:22] <sylpheedClaws> I reverted the sources to Edgy and updated Apt
[12:22] <sylpheedClaws> any suggestions to downgrade to Edgy?
[12:23] <cheeseboy16> @bruenig*
[12:23] <Flannel> sylpheedClaws: you'll need to manually revert the Feisty packages that were installed.  downgrading isn't supported either
[12:23] <bruenig> cheeseboy16, you can just extract it and then run the script in there called mupen

[12:31] <jmichaelx> could anyone help me on this? i cannot play any video files right now using kaffeine+xine (or anything else plus xine, as far as i can tell.) it makes programs like kaffeine and democracyplayer crash my debugging info looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4775/
[12:31] <underground5> has aybody seen any hardware that ubuntu has trouble running on?
[12:31] <Flannel> strav: <IP_ADDRESS> is your routers IP, for your LAN.  That'll also be your computers gateway address.  But, your router needs to serve a local IP to your computer
[12:31] <underground5> because i got it to work perfict on a p1 233mhz
[12:32] <awjazz> don't run ubuntu if you have wireless network.... it's difficult :S
[12:32] <strav> awjazz, I think you can directly add your wep key as an iwconfig argument... read the man about it (never tried it myself, this is just a suggestion)
[12:32] <awjazz> ok
[12:32] <Flannel> cizra: I don't know.  If that page says so, then yes.  the instructions change for each new version of ubuntu, recently
[12:32] <HighLife> underground I had problems installing it on a simaler computer
[12:32] <underground5> what probs
[12:32] <genii> underground5: It has issues with winmodem type devices of course, like controllerless HCF modems, some Broadcom chipset wireless and so on.
[12:32] <underground5> i'm good with old hardware
[12:32] <HighLife> I could not get it to work on a 233 pentuim mmx
[12:33] <cizra> OK, thank you all!
[12:33] <Cyrus25801> what do you do if a package that you want to install is only available in rpm
[12:33] <underground5> yea some of the motherboard/cards that were specific to windows would have trouble with any distro of linux
[12:33] <[BTF] Chm0d> i have disable artsd by accident or a mess up on my part how do i enable it again?
[12:33] <Flannel> !alien | Cyrus25801
[12:33] <ubotu> Cyrus25801: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[12:33] <bruenig> Cyrus25801, you can use alien, or I would have to think there would have to be source somewhere that you could compile
[12:34] <strav> Flannel, yes the router serves 50 ips starting at <IP_ADDRESS>, I can see in my dhcp tables that my client is indeed connected at <IP_ADDRESS>... what I don't understand, is why can I connect to skype or gaim or ping anyone while I cannot get response from an http request
[12:34] <bruenig> Cyrus25801, what is the name of the app
[12:34] <HighLife> The problem was mostly with the hardware being way out of date
[12:34] <Cyrus25801> bruenig: compusec
[12:34] <Flannel> strav: I don't know.  DHCP should give you all the info to set it up correctly.
[12:35] <Chronosphear> if i want to do losetup /dev/loop0 crypted.aes before my system 'parses' my fstab file. what config/script do i need to change?
[12:35] <Cyrus25801> bruenig: in my old xp machine i used steganos. if you maybe know of something similar
[12:35] <genii> I also wish manufacturers would quit trying to amalgamate crap like printer/scanner/fax  and so on. Big pain in the arse
[12:35] <bruenig> Cyrus25801, security?
[12:35] <fouadz> Hi , when I put ca_enhanced in xorg.conf , it's telling me that the file cannot be found , how can I install that file ?
[12:35] <Flannel> Cyrus25801: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto, don't know why that's not in the factoid anymore.  But, do look for a deb first.
[12:36] <chm0d> could someone tell me how to enable artsd?
[12:36] <awjazz> I'm getting towards giving up on my wireless card and just laying an ethernet cable... I just can't get WEP to work
[12:36] <cpk1> strav: dns issue?
[12:36] <Cyrus25801> bruenig: yes.making safs and deleting internet traces etc
[12:36] <Cyrus25801> safs = safes
[12:36] <strav> Flannel, Yes, well at least if the client obtain it's ip automatically via dhcp... (well it's apparently the case). I've read something about mtu packet size that could pose some problem. Actually my mtu packet size is: 1492... can it be any problem?
[12:36] <borys> chn)d: what's the prob?
[12:36] <bruenig> Cyrus25801, I found a tar.gz
[12:37] <strav> cpk1, yes could be.. though, I've checked resolv.conf, and from my client connected to the router, I can ping each of the name servers defined.
[12:37] <Cyrus25801> bruenig: cool where, how to install?
[12:37] <bruenig> Cyrus25801, http://www.bestsoftware4download.com/software/t-free-free-compusec-pc-security-suite-linux-download-nllkcgdm.html you have to hit the download thing
[12:37] <borys> chm0d: what's the prob?
[12:38] <Hoosteen> is it ok to install the updates for libwnck-common and libwnck18...they are showing in my updates window and won't go away =P
[12:38] <bruenig> !compile
[12:38] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[12:38] <cables> Hoosteen, why wouldn't you?
[12:38] <awjazz> does linux have a reputation for not liking wireless, and should i just use ethernet?
[12:38] <Hoosteen> i dunno...i get a warning since they are not signed
[12:38] <chm0d> i recieved an dialog box asking if i wanted to disable artsd and i clicked yes by accident borys
[12:38] <strav> cpk1, I've checked and the resolv.conf I used for a direct pppoe connection and the one written by the router in my client is exactly the same...
[12:38] <cables> awjazz, test using the LiveCD and see if your wireless card works.
[12:38] <Music_Shuffle> awjazz, some cards work better than others =/
[12:38] <sylpheedClaws> bye... reformatting my HD and starting over.
[12:38] <jmichaelx> could anyone help me on this? i cannot play any video files right now using kaffeine+xine (or anything else plus xine, as far as i can tell.) it makes programs like kaffeine and democracyplayer crash my debugging info looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4775/
[12:38] <chm0d> i just want to enable it back I have no sound now in quake4
[12:39] <borys> awjazz: d'u like to use a WEP enabled client?
[12:39] <yellow> sylpheedClaws, i suggest you put /home on separate partition
[12:39] <sylpheedClaws> I have backups...
[12:39] <sylpheedClaws> I just installed it yesterday.
[12:39] <awjazz> cables: where's the liveCd?
[12:39] <borys> chm0d: check whether ir\t's still runnig with ps
[12:40] <awjazz> music_shuffle: so a tp-link isn't my best bet
[12:40] <cables> awjazz, the Desktop CD is both the livecd and the install cd
[12:40] <sylpheedClaws> I took the problem to the Ubuntu forums, but I won't care about replies: the thread is at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2126088#post2126088

[12:40] <awjazz> borys: im having problems enabling wep
[12:40] <borys> chm0d it's sorry, it's my keyboard
[12:40] <Music_Shuffle> awjazz, no idea, but if its difficult, I wired my desktop rather than continue battling. Net's quicker too :P
[12:40] <Cyrus25801> bruenig, thanx anyway
[12:40] <plok> I know it can be an stupid question, but I don't know even where I should ask this: is there any standard format in order to save emails into a file?
[12:41] <awjazz> cables: what should i do with the cd when i put it in?
[12:41] <Music_Shuffle> plok, uhh...documents?
[12:41] <plok> copy and paste?
[12:41] <awjazz> music_shuffle: meh sounds better... damn router's only next door anyway

[12:41] <_emmanuel> ctrl v ctrl w

[12:41] <borys> awjazz: I'm enabling client just configuring my wlan interface
[12:41] <Music_Shuffle> plok, uhh, there is no preferred format for sending documents. Whichever works for you?
[12:42] <_emmanuel> ubuntu is nice but not free
[12:42] <borys> awjazz: iwconfig wlan0 key MYWLANKEY
[12:42] <chm0d> borys: i see nothing in there related to artsd when running ps aux
[12:42] <LjL> _emmanuel: what are you rambling on about, pray tell? please remember that this channel is for Ubuntu support
[12:42] <plok> Music_Shuffle, I understand, but I would like to download all my emails from my inbox, there must be around three thousand.
[12:43] <awjazz> borys: it didn't say it changed the key at all, and still didn't display it afterwards
[12:43] <_emmanuel> it is in default on xchat too, not my fault
[12:43] <borys> chm0d: well just run artsd
[12:43] <strav> awjazz, if I'm not completely wrong, the only wireless protocol that's kinda hard to handle is the 802.11 , used in some colleges... beside that, the biggest %#$ maker is hardware issues.
[12:43] <Music_Shuffle> plok, oh, then I have no idea. Perhaps someone else has a better idea other than 'patience'. XD
[12:44] <LjL> _emmanuel: well, i'm sure you'll keep in mind this channel's guidelines (they can be found in the topic), if you're going to stay here
[12:44] <chm0d> hmm i typed that into console and its just sitting there
[12:44] <awjazz> strav: so most likely the problem is some hardware that won't let the WEP work? cos it's fine with security disabled
[12:44] <plok> Music_Shuffle, thanks
[12:44] <Music_Shuffle> Good luck :)
[12:44] <borys> chm0d: did U put it into bcground?
[12:45] <chm0d> what do you mean exactly?

[12:45] <awjazz> someone suggested using my liveCD to look at the wireless card or something
[12:45] <cheeseboy16> how do i manage my router in linux?
[12:45] <awjazz> it's now loaded in the tray
[12:46] <cables> awjazz, just boot it up. It'll boot a full version of Ubuntu for you to test out. You'll know if the wireless works.
[12:46] <awjazz> cheeseboy: if its done by html, just use a web browser
[12:46] <awjazz> cables: i already have the ubuntu running, and the wireless isn't working
[12:47] <chm0d> borys: i get this error Creating link /root/.kde/socket-rich-desktop.
[12:47] <champion> how do people normally do linux to linux printing?

[12:48] <notgod> ok, I have an interesting question....  what is a good t-mobile phone that works well with ubuntu/evolution w/ some sort of contact syncing?  :)  Oh, T-Mobile phone, that is.
[12:48] <moreati> cheeseboy16: right click the networkmanager icon (next to clock) and select "Connection Information". Read the 'Default Route'. Type the default route into your browser(Firefox). It'll probably be <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:48] <klark> wow, 1002 people? :O
[12:49] <awjazz> ok thanks ill have a look
[12:49] <notgod> klark: ubuntuians
[12:49] <klark> wowz
[12:49] <borys> notgod: who's ubuntians?
[12:49] <klark> last time I was hear, there was maybe 200
[12:49] <cables> does cheeseboy16 have networkmanager?
[12:49] <reiki> ubunchkins
[12:49] <EnsignRedshirt> klark: in 2004?
[12:50] <moreati> cables I thought it was installed out the box, is that only Feisty?
[12:50] <digen> Is there a repos or a .deb to upgrade amarok to the latest version ?
[12:50] <cables> moreati, yep, only Feisty.
[12:50] <notgod> borys: was kidding.  A little hopped up on caffeine, methinks.
[12:50] <klark> anyhow, I'm just wondering -- my mouse's right click button suddenly stopped working -- I asked around, google, and now I'm at the conclusion I need to map my mouse's buttons -- but how? all the guides I found were for Gentoo or some other distro
[12:50] <moreati> cables: oops, is there a gui way to find ip/route etc on <= edgy
[12:50] <cables> moreati, cheeseboy16, you can add Network Monitor to your panel by right clicking and going to Add on your panel. This is sorta like NetworkManager, but it doesn't manage, only shows stuff.
[12:51] <chm0d> ugh dont tell me i have goin to have to reinstall again for the third time today
[12:51] <chm0d> sigh
[12:51] <moreati> oh well time for bed, night all
[12:52] <klark> would the guides for those distros also work for ubuntu?
[12:52] <Jelloman> Hey, I need help getting rid of ubuntu
[12:52] <klark> o0
[12:52] <reiki> Jelloman, boot a live CD and delete the partitions
[12:53] <Jelloman> from inside ubuntu?
[12:53] <jmichaelx> could anyone help me on this? i cannot play any video files right now using kaffeine+xine (or anything else plus xine, as far as i can tell.) it makes programs like kaffeine and democracyplayer crash. my debugging info looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4775/
[12:53] <Jelloman> or cant i do that from windows?
[12:53] <brianski> is anyone else getting broken packages related to  linux-headers-2.6.17-11-generic ?
[12:53] <reiki> you've ONLY got ubuntu?
[12:53] <chm0d> well it sure is easy to break the sound in ubuntu but its hell getting it back
[12:53] <Jelloman> reiki no
[12:53] <Jelloman> i have windows
[12:53] <Jelloman> right now
[12:53] <Jelloman> and i want to get rid of ubuntu
[12:53] <Jelloman> how do i do it without going to bios
[12:53] <Jelloman> because partition magic wont lemme delete the linux partitions
[12:54] <reiki> ok... I don't know why anyone would want to get rid of ubuntu, but... delete the partitions and it's gone. Does your system boot to windows through grub menu?
[12:54] <notgod> Jelloman: boot to the live CD, then use the partition editor to delete the ubuntu partitions, and I think you may be able to re-grow your windows partition as well, but I am not 100% on that.
[12:54] <Jelloman> well
[12:54] <Jelloman> my windows boots
[12:54] <Jelloman> without going to the grub menu
[12:55] <reiki> jelloman: that's good as it should mean you don't have to fixmbr
[12:55] <dueyfinster_> Jelloman: use ubuntu cd installer, go to the partition bit and resize to only windows, then reboot
[12:55] <chm0d> grrrrrr anyone ever seen that video of the dude pounding on their monitor and throwing it?  Im almost at that stage ;)\
[12:55] <brianski> anyone know of a way to change gnome's idea of what the desktop is so that it points to my home directory?
[12:55] <Jelloman> cant i do it from windows
[12:55] <reiki> jelloman: BOOT A LIVE CD
[12:55] <brianski> short of a symlink, which results in a symlink on my desktop
[12:55] <Tom_> Hey everyone :) I've got a bit of a problem with installing Ubuntu onto my Sil3112A RAID0 array. The installer 'sees' the two s-ata drives as singular, not as a combined array. Is there any way sort this? :/
[12:55] <chm0d> i simply disabled artsd cuz im a dumas and cannot figure out how to enable it
[12:55] <cables> brianski, i have an idea, hold on a sec
[12:55] <reiki> forget windows... forget ubuntu... just boot the live CD
[12:55] <Flannel> brianski: it might be in gconf
[12:56] <Tom_> I've been searching around the net. Different distros, different versions, different applications -- nothing that's exactly what I'm after.
[12:56] <_emmanuel> reiki: not powerful in livecd mod
[12:56] <spinster> hello people i running linux ubuntu and i want to change the name on my computer like this example: spinster@spinster-desktop:~$
[12:56] <spinster>  how i can change it pls can somebody help me ?
[12:56] <cables> brianski, Flannel, I don't see anything for it in apps/nautilus/desktop.
[12:57] <Flannel> Tom_: each distro is just a default application thing (well, ontop of the package management and stuff), you can install whatever you want on them.
[12:57] <brianski> spinster - echo your-host-name | sudo tee /etc/hostname
[12:57] <Jelloman> reiki can i use my iso'd one
[12:57] <reiki> jelloman: if it's a live CD sure
[12:57] <adam_> where can i get help with my c++ code
[12:57] <Flannel> !hostname | spinster
[12:57] <ubotu> spinster: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname  and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly
[12:57] <Flannel> adam_: ##C++
[12:57] <adam_> ty
[12:57] <LiENUS> is there a tspc package im missing?
[12:58] <brianski> cables, was your idea gconf or do you have another?
[12:58] <Flannel> Tom_: I imagine the most important thing is the package management, since apps are all swappable.  Just find package management that you like/whatever.
[12:59] <cables> brianski, that was my idea... but I couldn't find anything
[12:59] <LiENUS> ahh its in universe
[12:59] <brianski> cables, i see, well thanks anywho
[12:59] <LesterGreen> does linux/ubuntu have a similar to windows type of device manager that shows the installed devices and if any of them arent recognized or arent working / configured properly?
[12:59] <underground5> fuck!!! the turbo button on my 386sx broke now i can't play doom
[12:59] <LiENUS> underground5, ?
[12:59] <awjazz> hi still no joy on the WEP front. I'm giving up for tonight, and may just get an ethernet cable anyway. Thanks for your help

[01:00] <Rounin> Hello...! The driver for my webcam produces an image that is too dark, but I read a rumour that there's a newer version that fixes the problem... Is there any way I can find out which version I'm using?
[01:00] <underground5> oh sorry lol
[01:00] <underground5> wrong channel
[01:00] <Rounin> I tried modinfo, but it doesn't seem to find anything
[01:00] <underground5> i was talking to someone else
[01:00] <thechanklybore> Hello Chaps
 Tom_: each distro is just a default application thing (well, ontop of the package management and stuff), you can install whatever you want on them. <-- I'm talking about the installer, not the installed OS.
[01:01] <thechanklybore> I have been through guide after guide on this subject.
[01:01] <EnsignRedshirt> brianski: In gconf-editor, apps/nautilus/preferences has an option called 'desktop_is_home_dir', but I'm not sure what it does.
[01:01] <Tom_> My S-ATA array is my *only* drive.
[01:01] <spinster> Flannel: damn i cant change :(
[01:01] <LesterGreen> does linux/ubuntu have a similar to windows type of device manager that shows the installed devices and if any of them arent recognized or arent working / configured properly?
[01:01] <Flannel> Tom_: Eh?  what are you looking for then?
[01:01] <Tom_> When you install, for instance, XP
[01:01] <SDBolts21> vista up linux down
[01:01] <Tom_> It prompts you to press F6 to install third-party RAID or SCSI drivers.
[01:02] <spinster> sh-ubuntu
[01:02] <spinster> hostname: you must be root to change the host name
[01:02] <Tom_> I have to do that for my Sil3112A RAID (on-board) controller, so that my HDDs can be seen as an array.
[01:02] <spinster> Flannel: why ?
[01:02] <Flannel> Tom_: you're trying the alternate CD, right?
[01:02] <cables> SDBolts21, ??
[01:02] <hairulf1> Yeah yeah, haste la Vista, baby....
[01:02] <tryll1980> how do i make the equivalent to windows batch programs in linux?
[01:02] <Flannel> spinster: because you can't change your hostname as a regular user.  use sudo to open the editor
[01:03] <Tom_> Ubuntu 6.10 doesn't give this option, but does see the drives -- sadly not as an array, just as single drives.
[01:03] <Tom_> Flannel: Pretty sure it's the alt CD.
[01:03] <Flannel> tryll1980: bash scripts are probably the most common
[01:03] <tryll1980> like go to that folder and run that file
[01:03] <cables> tryll1980: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/
[01:03] <cables> try that
[01:03] <Flannel> Tom_: Does it boot to a GUI? or textmode?
[01:03] <af-fsfe-org> LesterGreen: http://tinyurl.com/2azeza
[01:03] <Tom_> GUI-ish boot menu.
[01:03] <spinster> Flannel: i can;t open now my term
[01:03] <spinster> :S
[01:04] <Tom_> Installation is all text.
[01:04] <hairulf1> #j #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:04] <Tom_> The Partitioner seemed pretty basic :/
[01:04] <tryll1980> cables:that looks a bit advanced
[01:04] <Flannel> !raid | Tom_, this may be of assistance
[01:04] <ubotu> Tom_, this may be of assistance: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[01:04] <jmichaelx> could anyone help me on this? i cannot play any video files right now using kaffeine+xine (or anything else plus xine, as far as i can tell.) it makes programs like kaffeine and democracyplayer crash. my debugging info looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4775/
[01:04] <LesterGreen> af-fsfe-org: okay i knew that but does it show devices that ARENT installed / running properly
[01:04] <cables> tryll1980, sorry then
[01:04] <Byan> Tom_: do you want to use software RAID or RAID on the card?
[01:04] <tryll1980> but thnx anyways
[01:04] <Tom_> RAID on the controller.
[01:04] <Tom_> That's how it's setup, and I'll need to dual-boot XP on the same array too.
[01:05] <EnsignRedshirt> tryll1980: Put your commands in a file (say "myscript").  To run the commands, enter sh myscript
[01:05] <tryll1980> can anyone just show me a simple bash script then to go to a folder and run a command inside it?
[01:05] <Tom_> Flannel: I'll give the link a read :)
[01:05] <gravemind> how do I mount a cue/bin disk image?
[01:05] <jrattner> Question: Is there a Tor howto for ubuntu?
[01:05] <Byan> so, you need to get the drivers for using RAID on the controller.. unless.. do you have the RAID set up?
[01:05] <linuxer> cd "folder destination"; ccommand
[01:05] <Tom_> Oh wait, Flannel: I've read this.
[01:05] <Byan> I mean.. the controller should give you an option to set it up.. while the computer is booting
[01:05] <LjL> gravemind: don't think you can, but you can convert it
[01:05] <LjL> !mdf2iso
[01:05] <ubotu> mdf2iso: A simple utility to convert mdf to iso / cue / toc images. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.0-0ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 6 kB, installed size 60 kB
[01:06] <yellow> jrattner, same tor howtu as in tor.effnet.org
[01:06] <Byan> or something, thats what mine does
[01:06] <gravemind> cool thanks
[01:06] <Tom_> It says this 'is NOT for people with new, blank HDDs, use software RAID instead', so that's not me.
[01:06] <jrattner> yellow, there's nothing ubuntu specific?
[01:06] <LjL> gravemind: no wait, sorry - wrong program
[01:06] <LjL> !bchunk
[01:06] <ubotu> bchunk: CD image format conversion from bin/cue to iso/cdr. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.0-1 (edgy), package size 12 kB, installed size 68 kB
[01:06] <yellow> jrattner, no, exept for maybe how to get it?
[01:06] <Byan> Tom_: no, that is for you...
[01:06] <yellow> jrattner, apt-get install tor
[01:06] <yellow> jrattner, apt-get install tor privoxy
[01:06] <gravemind> LjL: that mdf one is good too, I have some alchohol files I need to convert also
[01:07] <Byan> Tom_: it's for people not using software RAID
[01:07] <Byan> which would include you
[01:07] <jrattner> yellow, no i see the package, but is there any configurational things i need to do
[01:07] <yellow> jrattner, then fix privoxy config as in the tor doc, then you're done
[01:07] <art_> hey
[01:07] <linuxer> I would like to know if is possible install E17 with Beryl.. someone can help me? ^^
[01:07] <art_> how can i get mysql?
[01:07] <yellow> jrattner, to use privoxy you need to edit privoxy config
[01:07] <Tom_> 1) download and install your kernel source <-- How do I do that when I can't install anything?!
[01:08] <jrattner> yellow, do u know where the "tor doc" your refering  to is?
[01:08] <linuxer> I tried install beryl with my gnome, and it works normal, but with my E17 it's almost impossible =/
[01:08] <Tom_> That article, Byan, is based upon installing Ubuntu to a seperate drive and then mounting the Sil3112A array.
[01:09] <jrattner> yellow, ?
[01:09] <Tom_> The array is my one, my only, and my boot drive. Two 36 Raptors aren't much use otherwise.
[01:09] <yellow> jrattner, http://tor.eff.org/docs/tor-doc-unix.html.en
[01:09] <Tom_> Not when dual-booting.
[01:09] <yellow> jrattner, skip the installation part since you've got it through ubuntu repos already
[01:09] <EnsignRedshirt> art_: mysql is in the Ubuntu repostories.  In Synaptic, search for mysql, and then scroll down to the packages that begin mysql-
[01:09] <tryll1980> YESS!!! It worked.....I can make bash-scripts now to run my screenlets:P
[01:09] <Byan> Tom_: hmmm it should give you a start though
[01:09] <EnsignRedshirt> *repositories
[01:09] <tryll1980> thnx guys
[01:09] <Byan> Tom_: you need to mount that on the live CD
[01:09] <Tom_> How? I can't do anything that it's asking me to do?
[01:09] <Byan> and then install it
[01:10] <Tom_> Ok.
[01:10] <Tom_> So I guess I can use the Ubuntu installer via X on the live CD?
[01:10] <Tom_> Or from a terminal?
[01:10] <shmeelAway> any1 have a script that will let me run things as root? i had one but my reinstalling edgy went bad and i lost everything lol
[01:10] <rainwalker> I just tried updating my system and it said that some updates require the removal of further sofware, use the "mark all upgrades" of the package manager in synaptic or run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". Is this important?
[01:10] <Jeruvy> Tom_: either
[01:10] <Byan> Tom_: /me shrugs doens't matter
[01:10] <yellow> jrattner, Once you've installed Privoxy (either from package or from source), you will need to configure Privoxy to use Tor. Open Privoxy's "config" file (look in /etc/privoxy/ or /usr/local/etc/) and add the line
[01:10] <yellow> forward-socks4a / <IP_ADDRESS>:9050 .
[01:10] <yellow> to the top of the config file. Don't forget to add the dot at the end.
[01:10] <spinster> Flannel: wtf look now what i have spinster@hostname:~$ ls
[01:10] <[Dystopic] > Anyone have any experience getting WiFi to work? Network connections show up in various scanners, But I can't connect to them?
[01:11] <spinster> i want to change spinster@hostname:~$
[01:11] <spinster> i want to type willam@ubuntu:~$
[01:11] <jmichaelx> could anyone help me on this? i cannot play any video files right now using kaffeine+xine (or anything else plus xine, as far as i can tell.) it makes programs like kaffeine and democracyplayer crash. my debugging info looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4775/
[01:11] <spinster> can i set like that Flannel pls tell me
[01:11] <DARKGuy> Hey, how do I know the kernel boot parameters that were sent? I want to get some parameters the alternate CD has for enabling framebuffer (since all my other tries with vga=791 and similar have been with no avail)
[01:11] <jrattner> got it
[01:12] <yellow> spinster, create another user named willam ? =)
[01:12] <haakuturi> spinster - you need to make another user called william and to change your hostname, are you running Gnome?
[01:12] <spinster> yes i running gnome
[01:12] <DARKGuy> Wait, nevermind, I'm gonna post on the forums, and rephrase that
[01:12] <haakuturi> you should be able to change your hostname somewhere in your Admin settings...
[01:12] <spinster> haakuturi: but i don't want another user i want to change this user
[01:13] <[Dystopic] > Anyone have any experience getting WiFi to work? Network connections show up in various scanners, But I can't connect to them?
[01:13] <spinster> BUT I WANT TO CHANGE THE NAME TOO
[01:13] <haakuturi> I don't think you can change the username and keep everything the same
[01:13] <bruenig> !caps
[01:13] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[01:14] <Tom_> Byan: After reading, I'm still skeptical that this would work for installing. Yes, it appears that it would allow me to mount the drive via dmraid. But how do I install programs, when I'm booting from a live CD? Where would they be 'installed'? RAM?
[01:14] <LiENUS> whats the proper procedure for adding another ip to a server?
[01:14] <LiENUS> to an interface...
[01:14] <Tom_> Also, if I manage to mount the drives, install Ubuntu and then reboot to boot from the newly installed OS .. dmraid install would be gone?
[01:14] <spinster> sudo hostname ubuntu
[01:14] <spinster> sudo: unable to lookup hostname via gethostbyname()
[01:14] <Byan> Tom_: yeah, see, I'm not sure....
[01:14] <spinster> :S wtfg
[01:14] <Tom_> So surely it would fail to find the correct array.
[01:15] <spinster> wtf tell me come on
[01:15] <jrattner> yellow, Is there anyway for me to confirm that Tor is working?
[01:15] <Tom_> What I *think* I need, is a way of slip-streaming (forgive the term) some awareness of the array, into the installer's kernal.
[01:15] <EnsignRedshirt> spinster: Are you trying to change the name of your computer, or just the prompt that you get in a terminal?
[01:16] <dyrne> im connecting to a vpn server. connects fine and if i do 'route' i get destination:vpnip  gateway:<IP_ADDRESS> and my defalt gateway is <IP_ADDRESS> but if i do to a website its still showing my regular isp ipaddress not the vpn network's and of course i cant access internal network sites. any suggestions would be appreciated
[01:16] <spinster> i want to change the name on my computer
[01:16] <spinster> EnsignRedshirt: please can you help me.
[01:16] <Byan> Tom_: well, you should be able to do it without doing that...
[01:16] <Byan> I'm just not sure how...
[01:17] <Flannel> spinster: you set your hostname to 'hostname'
[01:17] <Flannel> !hostname | spinster
[01:17] <ubotu> spinster: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname  and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly
[01:17] <Byan> when I did my RAID0, I had no problem, it worked perfectly..., SuSE picked it up without any fault
[01:17] <Tom_> Heh
[01:17] <Byan> but.. that was a long time ago...
[01:17] <spinster> in term to i type sudo hostname  ?
[01:17] <Tom_> /me moves to #suse :p
[01:17] <fr500> !avahi
[01:17] <Byan> SuSE is BAD btw
[01:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about avahi - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[01:17] <Catachan> Could any one help me with the installation of the "hla" (High Level Assembly Language) file in Ubuntu? I managed to get to this page, (I have downloaded the file, and I am sad to say that I am confused by what I need to do now) The confusion really starts at about halfway down the page, however, when the instructions tell me to go to the .bashrc, I can't find what I am supposed to be doing, since I can't find the PATH line that is described in the ins
[01:17] <Catachan> tructions. Thank you very much!
[01:18] <yellow> jrattner, try ps aux | grep tor
[01:18] <Catachan> oh, I need to paste the link
[01:18] <Catachan> http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/AoA/Linux/HTML/HelloWorld.html
[01:18] <Catachan> oops
[01:18] <EnsignRedshirt> spinster: I don't know, it might be as simple as System -> Administration -> Networking -> General (tab).  Change the hostname.
[01:18] <dyrne> resolv.conf is changed and everything looks right except for this routing problem
[01:18] <LiENUS> how do i add another ip to an interface?
[01:18] <bruenig> Catachan, .bashrc is located in /home/username/.bashrc
[01:18] <Byan> Tom_: if I were you, i'd just try and install it that way..? what do you have to loose?
[01:18] <Tom_> My windows partition? lol
[01:18] <EnsignRedshirt> spinster: I am using Dapper.
[01:18] <spinster> :S
[01:18] <spinster> ko
[01:18] <spinster> ok
[01:18] <Byan> lol
[01:18] <spinster> ok i will change the hostname
[01:19] <Tom_> I've got most important things backed up, so I might give it a go
[01:19] <spinster> but how to change the computer name pls tell me ????/
[01:19] <yellow> jrattner, then go to firefox, edit the preferences to use proxy localhost @ 8118 and socks @ 9050
[01:19] <EnsignRedshirt> spinster: Umm, aren't they the same thing?
[01:19] <Catachan> bruenig, opened .bashrc, but the described variable to change the PATH did not seem to exist
[01:19] <spinster> no
[01:19] <yellow> jrattner, then point firefox to ipchicken.com, if it's not your ip then you're good
[01:19] <Tom_> Out of interest though, where do things go when you install an app, when booted from a Live CD? :S
[01:19] <LiENUS> how do i add another ip to an interface?
[01:19] <Catachan> it is supposed to be used to tell the bash term where to look when I Type in the program name
[01:20] <jrattner> yellow, cool its working thanx alot
[01:20] <dyrne> LiENUS: eh?
[01:20] <Byan> Tom_: I'm no expert.. but if that does work.. then they'd just be installed on a fake partition.. RAM disk or otherwise
[01:20] <EnsignRedshirt> spinster: Hmmm... out of curiosity, how would I find my computer name?
[01:20] <Catachan> perhaps I am just confused, (Actually, that is a garruntee)
[01:20] <bruenig> Catachan, what is this?  Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:24] <Igor_V2> hey...is that possiblie to kill -9 a range of processes...for example...all processes that start with PID 5...

[01:28] <LiENUS> what language are you talking about
[01:28] <bruenig> "god"
[01:28] <francois> jmichaelx: whats your error log again >?
[01:28] <LiENUS> god is not a swear word
[01:28] <__mikem> bruenig, God is not a swear word
[01:28] <bruenig> it is offensive

[01:28] <__mikem> No its not
[01:28] <LiENUS> your nick is offensive
[01:28] <bruenig> especially when assignment of good is given to it
[01:28] <Shane-S> I seem to be making progress with Safe Mode

[01:29] <LiENUS> funny
[01:29] <francois> jmichaelx: ok gimme a sec to raed it
[01:29] <LiENUS> someone told him
[01:29] <DARKGuy> I noticed that too
[01:29] <spinster> tell me pls
[01:29] <jmichaelx> francois: no problem
[01:29] <LjL> spinster: /nick nickname
[01:29] <Flannel> spinster: `man usermod` for information.  You have no right getting upset about this.
[01:29] <__mikem> bruenig, Id tell you what I think of your political correctness but I don't want to get kickbanned
[01:29] <Fernando> coleh
[01:29] <LiENUS> spinster,  usermod -l
[01:29] <bruenig> to associate the dysfunction that is god with linux is to bash linux which isn't fair I think
[01:29] <bruenig> that is all I am saying
[01:30] <spinster> LiENUS: i type usermod -l
[01:30] <Fernando> alguem do Brasil ai?
[01:30] <spinster> and now ?
[01:30] <Fernando> insanidade....
[01:30] <Fernando> haha
[01:30] <LiENUS> usermod -l dumb
[01:30] <LiENUS> type that
[01:30] <francois> jmichaelx: libc was recently updated, maybe you have a problem with the new one...
[01:30] <redham> i have an ubuntu apache2 server, whenever my router is reset, the server does not automatically connect back to the network, is there a way i can get it to automatically connect?
[01:30] <Flannel> spinster: no.  You need to give it options.  And, later you'll want to change your homedir too.
[01:30] <francois> jmichaelx: i can't seem to find anything else
[01:30] <francois> jmichaelx: just a bunch of no signal errors, lol
[01:30] <EnsignRedshirt> spinster: After reading 'man usermod', I *think* this is what you want: usermod -l newname spinster
[01:30] <Flannel> spinster: man usermod for more information, with that attitude, you probably won't get much more help here.
[01:30] <DARKGuy> Crazy question: If I'd like to rebuild all for i586 or whatever my architecture is, is it possible? to do something like apt-build everything or something? xD
[01:30] <spinster> $ usermod -l dumb
[01:30] <spinster> usermod: user dumb does not exist
[01:30] <livingdaylight> since when is mp3 not a supported format in K3b which is what its telling me?
[01:30] <bruenig> spinster is back...
[01:30] <LiENUS> whats the proper procedure for adding another ip to a network interface?
[01:31] <jmichaelx> francois: there were a few other problems that showed up at the same time. for example, i used to see a picture for each video file in konqueror, and now that stopped working
[01:31] <Flannel> DARKGuy: you don't need to.  Are you on edgy? or dapper?
[01:31] <LiENUS> bruenig,  your nick is offensive please sign off
[01:31] <__mikem> Oh God No, spinster is back
[01:31] <DARKGuy> Flannel: Edgy
[01:31] <Catachan> okay, so, since I had to edit the environment, do I need to reload Ubuntu or can I use a command to reset the variables?
[01:31] <Flannel> DARKGuy: the -generic kernel is already optomized for your arch
[01:31] <bruenig> well associating god and spinster is fair
[01:31] <marcusg> hi, i'm trying to connect to my ipod with amarok
[01:31] <marcusg> i get an error saying "failed to write to iPod database"
[01:31] <Flannel> LiENUS, bruenig, Everyone, take it elsewhere.
[01:31] <francois> jmichaelx: hum, try removing the xine engine, with the purge option, and reinstalling it
[01:31] <DARKGuy> Flannel: but some other packages are built for i386, right?
[01:31] <jmichaelx> francois: this problem started suddenly upon playing what i think was a corrupt video file that i had downloaded
[01:31] <Music_Shuffle> marcusg, have you tried...GTKPod?
[01:32] <LiENUS> bruenig,  when did i say spinster was God?
[01:32] <LjL> !offtopic
[01:32] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[01:32] <jmichaelx> francois: i already did that... have installed/re-installed everything multiple times
[01:32] <Flannel> DARKGuy: really the programs deal with the kernel, not the processor itself
[01:32] <francois> jmichaelx: so what CAN you play ?
[01:32] <marcusg> music_shuffle: yes, i have GTKPod, it works ok, but crashes when i try to add more than a few tracks at a time
[01:33] <DARKGuy> Flannel: Ah, I see, so it doesn't matter if a program was built for i386 or i586, it'll be the same thing anyways?
[01:33] <Music_Shuffle> marcusg, not sure why yours is acting up, but Amarok ended up just erasing my entire iTunes.db file, and I ended up switching to Rockbox.  Not sure if you want to, but that's an option. :)
[01:33] <Lanlost> Hi, I have wifi at my old house which is a street over from this one. We have three computers here as well but only mine can get a signal from the router. Is it possible to use another router and plug my ethernet cable from mine into the internet input on the router at this house and share the internet that way?
[01:33] <redham> is there an ubuntu server channel?
[01:33] <Lanlost> I'm not sure how to forward internet like that in linux.
[01:33] <jmichaelx> francois: using kaffeine with xine engine.... nothing
[01:33] <Flannel> DARKGuy: yeah.  Or if there would be differences, they'd be so slight that you'd be wasting time compilinganyway
[01:33] <Flannel> redham: this is t
[01:33] <LiENUS> whats the proper procedure for adding another ip to a network interface?
[01:34] <DARKGuy> Flannel: I see, thanks then for answering and clarifying that up ^^
[01:34] <eobanb> will the nvidia drivers in restricted work with beryl, or do i need a newer, beta version
[01:34] <Catachan> bruenig, do I need to run a command on the file I just edited? if so, what command should I run?
[01:34] <fr500> avahi-daemon won start on boot
[01:34] <fr500> can anyone help?
[01:34] <marcusg> music_shuffle: i'd prefer to work out why amarok isn't working rather than just switch to rockbox. also i've already added all my tracks
[01:34] <francois> jmichaelx: what about in konquerer, if you try a different player, such a gstreamer or mplayer, do you get anything ?>
[01:34] <jmichaelx> francois: i may need to re-install..... i just hate the idea of it
[01:34] <bruenig> Catachan, no you shouldn't need to
[01:34] <jmichaelx> francois: yeah, mplayer works fine
[01:34] <pbureau> Lanlost, no you need an AP repeater box
[01:34] <Catachan> bruenig, just save it and go from there?
[01:34] <Catachan> okay
[01:34] <Catachan> cool
[01:35] <redham> i have an ubuntu apache2 server, whenever my router is reset, the server does not automatically connect back to the network, is there a way i can get it to automatically connect?
[01:35] <LiENUS> whats the proper procedure for adding another ip to a network interface?
[01:35] <francois> jmichaelx: i beleive theres a way to check all current packages,
[01:35] <francois> jmichaelx: don't think you should reinstall
[01:35] <Tom_> Byan: Now *this* is more like it :) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[01:35] <Music_Shuffle> marcusg, good idea, no ideas here though, are you also asking in #amarok perhaps?
[01:35] <jmichaelx> francois: i hope you're right..... i was up all night working on this lol
[01:35] <Lanlost> pbureau.. I don't understand why..
[01:36] <livingdaylight>  since when is mp3 not a supported format in K3b which is what its telling me?
[01:36] <francois> jmichaelx: so opening somehting in kaffein just gives you that error ?
[01:36] <Lanlost> I'm recieving internet into this computer.. I have an ethernet port thats not in use.. Why can't I just plug a cord in from that to my router internet input?
[01:36] <Flannel> livingdaylight: you'll need to install mp3 codecs
[01:36] <jmichaelx> francois: yes, i get the kde crash handler
[01:36] <Lanlost> and run a program thats specifically made for that?
[01:36] <david_> hello
[01:36] <Amenemhet> hello all
[01:36] <Lanlost> You can do it with windows.. I know there has to be a way with linux.. I just don't know the terminology
[01:36] <Lanlost> Its just internet sharing from one input.. why does it matter that the input for the internet is wireless for me
[01:36] <pbureau> Lanlost, simple a router needs a WAN connection, the other router procures from a wan connection AP connections (acces points) for computers to connect to, a router cannot connect to an AP signal, so you needf to get an AP repeater (signal extender) so that anyone at your house can enjoy the original AP signal
[01:37] <game_dev> hello
[01:37] <livingdaylight> Flannel, i can play mp3's no worries
[01:37] <game_dev> does any1 else here use Beryl
[01:37] <livingdaylight> Flannel, curious why K3b doens' t wanna burn 'em
[01:37] <livingdaylight> Flannel, ready vaery carefully again what i wrote
[01:37] <Flannel> livingdaylight: er, that'd have nothing to do with codecs.  burners just burn data.  they dont care what they are.
[01:37] <pbureau> Lanlost, an AP repeater seeks an AP signal and repeates the signal at a more localized area (thus the word repeater)
[01:37] <francois> game_dev: i use beryl
[01:37] <LiENUS> whats the proper procedure for adding another ip to a network interface?
[01:38] <Amenemhet> depends on the interface
[01:38] <game_dev> nice, i couldnt get compiz to work so i tried beryl, 1st time working, im using it now
[01:38] <quaal> what do you use in ubuntu for .rar
[01:38] <bruenig> !rar
[01:38] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[01:38] <livingdaylight> Flannel, exactly, so, why is k3b saying this?
[01:38] <Amenemhet> lol
[01:38] <francois> jmichaelx: hummm...i don't think i can help you, if you've tried purging it and reinstalling xine... sorry
[01:38] <quaal> bruenig, thankyou
[01:38] <game_dev> ummm, does any1 on an ATI card have the Rain effects working?
[01:38] <Flannel> livingdaylight: no idea, never used it.
[01:38] <bruenig> !thanks | quaal
[01:39] <ubotu> quaal: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[01:39] <pbureau> Lanlost, so your trying to capture an AP signal and run it into your house ? (ie thru a wired connection ?) or wifi again ?
[01:39] <LiENUS> Amallya,  eth0
[01:39] <LiENUS> err Amenemhet eth0
[01:39] <quaal> ha
[01:39] <Nippa> Why on earth doesn't the gnome-applets package in ubuntu have the command line applet?
[01:39] <Flannel> redham: you'll probably be doing something with ifupdown, to reconnect
[01:39] <Amenemhet> is it a cisco router?
[01:39] <quaal> Nippa, why do you want a command line applet
[01:39] <SDBolts21n56> hi
[01:39] <jmichaelx> francois: yes, i did that
[01:39] <quaal> just keep the terminal open
[01:40] <Nippa> quaal: because sometimes I like to run on off commands and don't want to bother opening a terminal
[01:40] <SDBolts21n56> why is vista so much better then linux?
[01:40] <Amenemhet> now thats funny
[01:40] <quaal> Nippa, surely you can assign the terminal to a keyboard shortcut
[01:40] <quaal> SDBolts21n56, because it cannot be hacked !!
[01:40] <quaal> billgates says so
[01:40] <Tom_> SDBolts21n56: Where's xgl eh? :p
[01:40] <pbureau> ahahaha
[01:40] <Nippa> quaal: you're completely missing the point here
[01:40] <Amenemhet> bill ....sigh....
[01:40] <ruzgar> hello everyone
[01:40] <Amenemhet> yo
[01:40] <livingdaylight> Flannel, hrmmm...interesting
[01:40] <Nippa> quaal: I DO have it mapped to a shortcut, but that's not the point
[01:40] <ruzgar> i have problems with refresh rate
[01:41] <livingdaylight> Flannel, very interesting...
[01:41] <ruzgar> i have a ati radeon 9600
[01:41] <quaal> Nippa, dunno what to tell ya man.. tried the forums ?
[01:41] <Tom_> Actually, Kororaa's 0.1 Live CD was more impressive than Vista's Aero Glass GUI.
[01:41] <livingdaylight> ruzgar, nothing to brag about..
[01:41] <ruzgar> i have selected ati drivers from xorg.conf
[01:41] <SDBolts21n56> Tom_, what is xgl?
[01:41] <Amenemhet> who needed help with a router??
[01:41] <Nippa> quaal: not yet, this was my first stop
[01:41] <ruzgar> but my resolution is always 60 hz
[01:41] <ruzgar> normally my monitor runs in 75 hz
[01:41] <ruzgar> I gave the refresh rates in to xorg.conf
[01:42] <ruzgar> but that doesnt work I cant change my resolution that is always 60hz
[01:42] <pbureau> !enter | ruzgar
[01:42] <ubotu> ruzgar: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[01:42] <ruzgar> ok
[01:42] <SDBolts21n56> what is a map installer?
[01:42] <CodyLoco> Hey so I can get Ubuntu to load up if I use safe graphics mode
[01:42] <ian6> is the kernel <IP_ADDRESS> update problem still happening?
[01:43] <pbureau> ian6, looks like it.
[01:43] <grumillo> when installing ubuntu with dual boot how do i check the correct position to install grub? thanks
[01:43] <CodyLoco> but it crashes when the desktop background loads up and the cursor comes up
[01:43] <ruzgar> my monitor is benq fh71gx and my graphics card is an ati radeon 9600 pro, also I selected the ati driver and I also wrote the monitor attributes into xorg.conf
[01:43] <ruzgar> but my monitor always 60 mhz
[01:43] <ian6> pbureau: ah, thanks. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't only me.
[01:44] <robbiev> hey all. I have a Radeon X1300. I've noticed that the drivers are crap, the whole machine chokes when I activate my screensaver. Is there an existing xorg driver that will for for it? I don't care about hardware acceleration at this point. I just want the darn this to run.
[01:44] <ruzgar> should I use fglrlx driver
[01:44] <LiENUS> whats the proper procedure for adding another ip to a network interface?
[01:44] <jmichaelx> could anyone help me on this? i cannot play any video files right now using kaffeine+xine (or anything else plus xine, as far as i can tell.) it makes programs like kaffeine and crash. my debugging info looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4775/   i was up all night trying to fix this and am at an end. if i am not providing enough detail, please let me know  |   the kde crah handler says 'signal 11 (SIGSEGV)'
[01:44] <ruzgar> in my laptop ati drivers doesnt support widescreen, then I install fglrlx drivers that is solved
[01:44] <Amenemhet> Lienus---> is it a cisco router?
[01:44] <robbiev> ruzgar, again, the fglrx friver is crap. It is the whole reason for my pain.
[01:45] <pbureau> Amenemhet, I think hes talking about a net card
[01:45] <jmichaelx> *crash
[01:45] <ruzgar> ummm ok i'll try another drivers
[01:45] <LiENUS> Amenemhet, no its ubuntu
[01:45] <ruzgar> thanks for helps anyway
[01:45] <LiENUS> hence im asking in #ubuntu
[01:45] <EnsignRedshirt> Is there a text-based editor (like nano) that uses ctrl-s for save, ctrl-q for quit, etc?
[01:46] <Milosh> hi all.. i running Linux Ubuntu Operating System, and i want to uninstall it how i can remove linux ?
[01:47] <LiENUS> Milosh,  get a windows cd and install
[01:47] <Amenemhet> oooh, giver upper eh?
[01:47] <Flannel> Milosh: just install windows back overtop of it
[01:47] <Milosh> Flannel, i dont have windows
[01:47] <LiENUS> Milosh,  or whatever you want to install over it, there is no "uninstall" procedure
[01:47] <Flannel> Milosh: what else did you want to put back on the computer then?
[01:47] <LiENUS> Milosh,  what do you want to replace it with then?
[01:47] <HP_Vue> Hey, I am wanting to start up my own server, but I have extremely valuable files on my computer and other computers on my network, is ubuntu the right distro to be using for this job?
[01:47] <Milosh> Flannel, i want to uninstall and install ubuntu again
[01:47] <Flannel> Milosh: oh.  Just... pop the install CD back in.
[01:47] <LiENUS> HP_Vue,  if you keep track of security then yes
[01:47] <Gimpy> just install ubuntu over it then
[01:48] <Milosh> Flannel: ok i enter the cd and now ?
[01:48] <arke> Hi. :)
[01:49] <At0mic_PC> Is there something like spamassasin for linux?
[01:49] <LiENUS> Amenemhet,  why would i ask about a cisco router?
[01:49] <Milosh> Flannel ??
[01:49] <Gimpy> mislosh: then restart the computer and it should boot from the cd and then you can reinstall
[01:49] <Flannel> Milosh: yeah, just install again.
[01:49] <HP_Vue> LiENUS, Is there a 0 percent chance of my computer or other computers on my network being compromised?
[01:49] <Flannel> At0mic_PC: spamassasin is available for linux
[01:49] <Amenemhet> lol, been elsewhere dude, forgot where i was :)
[01:49] <At0mic_PC> Flannel: Thanks. I guess I didn't look hard enough...
[01:49] <Milosh> but i dont know how to install it sorry :{ now i enter CD and restart PC and what then ?
[01:49] <Milosh> hmm ok bbl....
[01:50] <_`XeOn_> hello
[01:50] <cafuego_> At0mic_PC: Is there somehting like spamassassin for NON-linux?
[01:50] <SDBolts21n56> What is a map installer?
[01:50] <Flannel> At0mic_PC: it's in universe, you'll need to enable it if you haven't already
[01:50] <cafuego_> At0mic_PC: Incidentally, you might want to try 'bogofilter' I find it has a better hit rate than SA.
[01:50] <_`XeOn_> how do i mount my win32 partition?
[01:50] <Nutubuntu> Hello all, I am trying to enable a simple thing - spellcheck in OO.o writer - but I can't get it to work. I wondered whether anyone could quickly check the path to dictionary in their OO.o writer and help me out?
[01:51] <Kearin> Hello everybody. If I were to start learning a programming language, which one do you think would be the most useful? (The closest thing I have to programming experience is creating .html pages in notepad)
[01:51] <LiENUS> HP_Vue, no, but theres never 0 percent change of your computer being compromised unless it is disconnected from all devices, from all networks, and powered off and disconected from the power
[01:51] <Flannel> Kearin: #ubuntu-offtopic is a better place to ask
[01:51] <Amenemhet> too true there LiENUS
[01:51] <Kearin> Flannel, thanks. Wasn't aware of that channel.
[01:51] <_`XeOn_> how do i mount my win32 partition?
[01:52] <shmeelAway> any1 have a script that will let me run things as root? i had one but my reinstalling edgy went bad and i lost everything lol
[01:52] <HP_Vue> I absolutely need to know if my files on my computer and other computers on my network are secure, because what the files contain..... anyway, What if there were no valuable file on my computer, what is the risk of other computers on my network?
[01:52] <jmichaelx> could anyone help me on this? i cannot play any video files right now using kaffeine+xine (or anything else plus xine, as far as i can tell.) it makes programs like kaffeine and crash. my debugging info looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4775/   i was up all night trying to fix this and am at an end. if i am not providing enough detail, please let me know  |   the kde crash handler says 'signal 11 (SIGSEGV)'
[01:53] <pbureau> _`XeOn_,  man mount (something like  mount -t ntfs /dev/device /mountpoint/mountpoint
[01:53] <Slant_Laptop> How do I enable AIGLX/compositing effects? I was told there is check-mark box I can enable in the control panel?
[01:53] <LiENUS> so how can i add another ip to my network interface :/
[01:53] <Flannel> Slant_Laptop: #ubuntu-effects has all the info youll need
[01:53] <LiENUS> Slant_Laptop,  you have to install beryl
[01:53] <cafuego_> Slant_Laptop: on feisty, yes
[01:53] <Amenemhet> HP_Vue--if ya use a router then use its MAC filter for a start
[01:53] <Slant_Laptop> I'm on feisty. Thanks.
[01:54] <cafuego_> Slant_Laptop: You need to install 'desktop-effects'.
[01:54] <HP_Vue> Amenemhet: So then the other computers will be secure?
[01:54] <brianski> !feisty
[01:54] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha. Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help in #ubuntu+1
[01:54] <cafuego_> Slant_Laptop: then ther'll be a n intel on the control center.
[01:54] <sleepy723> hello
[01:54] <cafuego_> An entry in the control center
[01:54] <cafuego_> arrrg
[01:54] <Amenemhet> well, you add the MAC addresses of all your pc's on your network to it, then the router will only allow them
[01:55] <HP_Vue>
[01:55] <Amenemhet> it is though , bear in mind, not absolute'where theres a will, there's a way'
[01:55] <Amenemhet> is it a home network?
[01:55] <HP_Vue> Yes
[01:56] <shiv> yellow, hi how are u
[01:56] <Amenemhet> your router probably has a firewall as well, yes?
[01:56] <JamesG> Does anyone know of a command line mp3 repair tool?
[01:56] <HP_Vue> Yup
[01:56] <Amenemhet> can you configure yourself?
[01:56] <HP_Vue> yes
[01:56] <JamesG> Or.. any mp3 repair tool?
[01:57] <HP_Vue> What about encrypting files? Will that help at all?
[01:57] <Tom_> I might be blind, but .. Where on Earth can I download the Edgy live CD?
[01:57] <HP_Vue> The value of whats in these files.....
[01:57] <Amenemhet> well, if it is half decent, it will have a MAC address filter,
[01:57] <DigitalNinja> I just got a Lexmark c534dn color laser printer. How do I install the driver? It doesn't show up in cups
[01:57] <Amenemhet> sure
[01:57] <Flannel> Tom_: it's the "desktop CD", and ubuntu.com/download (6.10)
[01:57] <Tom_> !livecd
[01:57] <ubotu> Ubuntu Dapper 'Desktop' CD contains a Live CD (Ubuntu that runs straight off the CD and RAM) with an install option. Breezy's Live CD contained no install.
[01:57] <Tom_> Ah.
[01:57] <HP_Vue> Thanks for your help

[02:00] <LiENUS> whats the proper procedure for adding another ip to a network interface?
[02:00] <Flannel> shmeelAway: but, you shouldn't be manually changing permissions on external harddrives.  You should be mounting them more appropriately

The text includes ASCII tables, so pasting into OO.org screws it all up (even with a mono font!). The lines are too long to fit on an A4 in full size, and I don't want it fulsize anyway. Ideas?

[02:08] <DJ_Gentoo> system's installed, typing up a storm on a paper on Islam
[02:08] <Amenemhet> try to boot from an external drive maybe?
[02:08] <con-man> le sigh

[02:09] <DJ_Gentoo> what's the prob, con?
[02:09] <marcusg> hi, anyone know what i need to do to mount my FAT 32 formatted ipod to that it's writable and not just a read only disc?
[02:09] <bobby> Amenemhet: the computer unfortunately cannot boot over USB
[02:09] <bobby> Flannel: I'll check out that page
[02:09] <linux_> i can't install ubuntu 6.06 or 6.10 in graphics safe or regular mode under any resolution because i can't get the refresh rate lower than 60 Hz?!?! any ideas?
[02:09] <con-man> how do I move the contents of a folder without the folder itself, this is being done through ftp in a terminal
[02:09] <sylpheedClaws> through FTP?
[02:09] <kamikazaa> hejjjjjjjjjj
[02:09] <sylpheedClaws> not sure
[02:10] <sylpheedClaws> try using wildcards
[02:10] <fatbrain> a good code-editor?
[02:10] <sylpheedClaws> like cp ./* ..
[02:10] <Flannel> fatbrain: vim? gedit? kate?
[02:10] <Amenemhet> pretty buggered then mate, unless you can install via ftp or internet
[02:10] <`MeTaMorfas`> my mysql not work what is a problem? "Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /var/www/testsql.php on line 2"
[02:10] <fatbrain> Flannel: one that supports a "prject" like, file-management.
[02:10] <Flannel> `MeTaMorfas`: make sure you have php5-mysql installed
[02:10] <bobby> Amenemhet: Thats what I was wondering if it can e installed via Internet
[02:11] <Nutubuntu> fatbrain - you could look at bluefish
[02:11] <Amenemhet> should be able to
[02:11] <Lanlost_> Anyone know any good tutorials for IP masquerading
[02:11] <linux_> i can't install ubuntu 6.06 or 6.10 in graphics safe or regular mode under any resolution because i can't get the refresh rate lower than 60 Hz?!?! any ideas?
[02:11] <jrib> fatbrain: vim has the project.vim plugin
[02:11] <con-man> how do I move the contents of a folder without the folder itself, this is being done through ftp in a terminal
[02:11] <Amenemhet> i have never tried tho
[02:11] <fatbrain> Nutubuntu: will do
[02:11] <kamikazaa> what is name card eth0, eth1.......what is name of wireless card pci, i have just one pci card on my pc
[02:11] <Flannel> linux_: try the alternate CD instead of the DEsktop CD
[02:11] <sylpheedClaws> ...I already made a suggestion
[02:11] <fatbrain> jrib: Will check that out too, thanks.
[02:11] <LiENUS> linux_,  how low do you need the refresh rate?
[02:11] <sylpheedClaws> con
[02:11] <LiENUS> kamikazaa,
[02:11] <linux_> alternate takes hours to install
[02:11] <LiENUS> type iwconfig
[02:11] <con-man> oh
[02:11] <LiENUS> itl'l tell you which si the wirelesss
[02:11] <con-man> lemme check
[02:11] <sylpheedClaws> try using wildcards:
[02:11] <Lanlost_> this is one thing that was always easier in windows.. just right click the properties for the network adapter.. .. enable internet connecting sharing.. there seems to be like 30-40 steps for the linux equivlent
[02:11] <Gokul> hello
[02:11] <con-man> yeah
[02:12] <sylpheedClaws> move ./* .., for example
[02:12] <linux_> is there a boot options command to turn the refresh rate down?
[02:12] <LiENUS> linux_,  how low do you need the freresh
[02:12] <LiENUS> ?
[02:12] <linux_> 40 Hz
[02:12] <sylpheedClaws> Lanlost, there should be a GUI tool for it
[02:12] <LiENUS> wth?
[02:12] <LiENUS> what kind of display?
[02:12] <ckern> I am installing Feisty Herd 3, and it has been at 91% on the step "Loading module 'aec62xx' for 'IDE chipset support'..." for over an hour now.  I am installing on a 250 Gb hard drive, but should it take this long?
[02:12] <linux_> 4 MB trident video card
[02:12] <sylpheedClaws> you use Ubunt or Kubuntu?
[02:12] <Flannel> ckern: #ubuntu+1 for feisty support

[02:12] <kamikazaa> and leeter i go to networking panel and crate conection ? lienus ?
[02:12] <LiENUS> wth
[02:12] <Gokul> I'm getting this while doing an apt-get upgrade:
[02:13] <ckern> ok, thanks
[02:13] <Gokul> The following packages have been kept back:
[02:13] <Gokul>   linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic linux-restricted-modules-generic
[02:13] <Gokul> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
[02:13] <LiENUS> crate connections all you want
[02:13] <LiENUS> itl'l make em easier to ship
[02:13] <Gokul> why are these packages being kep back from the upgrade?
[02:13] <LiENUS> Gokul, theres a bug or something
[02:13] <sylpheedClaws> Well, gtg... I've got a new Ubuntu system to try
[02:13] <Nutubuntu> Gokul - it's a server-side package management glitch; ignore it; a bug has been filed and they're working it
[02:14] <fatbrain> Kate <- is that for KDE only?
[02:14] <Amenemhet> Gokul...there bya go lol
[02:14] <fatbrain> erm, rephrase, is there a Kate for gnome?
[02:14] <Flannel> fatbrain: no, but it does use KDE libs.
[02:14] <linux_> is 40 Hz possible to add to the boot options for ubuntu 6.10 live?
[02:14] <cheeseboy16> how do i install this fceu-server_0.0.5.orig.tar.gz           ?
[02:14] <Music_Shuffle> fatbrain, it uses the KDE libs.
[02:14] <jrib> fatbrain: you can use kate in gnome if that is what you want
[02:14] <Music_Shuffle> fatbrain, gedit
[02:14] <Flannel> fatbrain: if you install it in gnome, you'll drag in KDE libs.  But sure, you can use it
[02:14] <LiENUS> linux_,  ask in #ubuntu
[02:14] <Amenemhet> linux...dunno, but whats wrong with 60?
[02:14] <kamikazaa> where i can typin ifconfig, sorry i nevr use linux i install that yesterday
[02:14] <fatbrain> Music_Shuffle: gedit doesn't look as advanced as kate
[02:14] <Music_Shuffle> LiENUS, we ARE in #ubuntu. :P
[02:14] <Gokul> Nutubuntu: ok, thanks
[02:15] <Lanlost_> will someone please answer me? it can't be that hard.. I have a wireless connection and a wired connection.. everytime I plug in the wired connection it tries to use that as my internet connection
[02:15] <kamikazaa> where i can typin ifconfig, sorry i nevr use linux i install that yesterday........linus
[02:15] <LiENUS> Amenemhet,  hes using a 1994 hewlet packard monitor
[02:15] <fatbrain> Flannel: I don't want that, I'll search for some other editor.
[02:15] <linux_> i don't know either, it usually handles 60, but its a whole bunch of horizontal lines when starting ubuntu in every mode
[02:15] <Lanlost_> I want to use the wireless as my internet connection, but the wired for the local area connection
[02:15] <Music_Shuffle> fatbrain, You can just use kate under Gnome, although it'll require the KDE libs. Not that bad :)
[02:15] <Flannel> linux_: use the alternate CD
[02:15] <jrib> !terminal | kamikazaa
[02:15] <ubotu> kamikazaa: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[02:15] <Amenemhet> :(
[02:15] <linux_> ok, another 5 hour install then :(```
[02:16] <Flannel> linux_: it shouldn't take 5 hours.  If it does, the Desktop CD would take multiple as well.
[02:16] <fatbrain> Music_Shuffle: I wont have standard gnome apparenace, gnome-ui-guidelines > kde-equivalent-stuff
[02:16] <Amenemhet> lanlost...eth probably defaults to wired
[02:16] <der0b> lanlost_: are you using NetworkManger?  if yes, to the best of my knowlege you won't be able to do what you want
[02:16] <tmalloy> can anyone help me with a sound problem? I've already tried the comprehensive guide on the forums
[02:16] <LiENUS> Flannel, hes booting on a really old machine
[02:16] <linux_> p2
[02:16] <LiENUS> linux_, ubuntu i dont think is the right distro for what you want...
[02:16] <Flannel> LiENUS: he's got an old monitor, not an old machine.
[02:17] <LiENUS> Flannel,  hes got a 4mb graphics card
[02:17] <linux_> i actually have two of them
[02:17] <Amenemhet> no i agree with LiENUS
[02:17] <Fedge> Flannel: Hey flannel, you around?
[02:17] <linux_> neither work with ubuntu live
[02:17] <LiENUS> linux_,  have you tried a distro thats more trimmed down?
[02:17] <LiENUS> like dsl?
[02:17] <Flannel> linux_: even with the refresh rate, the graphics card probaby couldn't handle the lvieCD either.
[02:17] <der0b> or puppy
[02:17] <fatbrain> Ill go with Vim, since it had a project-addon, thanks a bunch guys.
[02:17] <linux_> yeah, slax works fine
[02:18] <linux_> GUI and all
[02:18] <kamikazaa> o.k thenx i now rebbot my system to linux if i config wireless (internet) i never use windows ;)..........see you letter ....big respect
[02:18] <LiENUS> linux_, then honestly... you might have to go with one of those
[02:18] <Flannel> Fedge: yeah, you ever get grub not-installed? or just went with alternate?
[02:18] <LiENUS> puppy linux and dsl are both remarkable
[02:18] <Amenemhet> maybe knoppix would be a better choice?
[02:18] <LiENUS> puppy linux is probably a little better than dsl... i dont know though as i havent really used puppy much
[02:18] <Fedge> Flannel: well, i did get everything working
[02:18] <linux_> maybe, i really wanted the apt-get in ubuntu
[02:18] <Fedge> Flannel: i even managed to get grub to boot vista
[02:18] <Amenemhet> lol well done
[02:18] <LiENUS> linux_, can you go without gui?
[02:18] <Flannel> linux_: DeliLinux is tiny, and uses apt
[02:19] <R3linquish3r> Does anyone know which repo i need to get plugins for GAIM 2.0?
[02:19] <Pelo> Fedge, why oh why ??
[02:19] <linux_> i can go without a gui
[02:19] <mindstate> what about knoppix
[02:19] <LiENUS> dsl can use apt too...
[02:19] <LiENUS> linux_,  you could install ubuntu server...
[02:19] <Fedge> Flannel: my dirty little secret was installing grub to a floppy
[02:19] <Music_Shuffle> R3linquish3r, universe/multiverse?
[02:19] <linux_> i tried that, and the GUI which i installed from that crashed
[02:19] <Fedge> Pelo: because i found it challening/fun
[02:19] <linux_> i really wanted to try to get a gui on there...thats why i went ahead and downloaded 6.10
[02:19] <linux_> live
[02:19] <Amenemhet> i never could get dsl to boot....how long does it take? i waited 25 minutes, then gave up
[02:19] <R3linquish3r> Music_Shuffle, i have them both enabled and i can only get 1.5 plugins which dont work with GAIM 2.0 which is installed
[02:20] <Pelo> Fedge,  you'll enjoy #masochism then
[02:20] <linux_> maybe i'll reinstall xubuntu 6.06 alt and upgrade through that
[02:20] <quaal> anyone know how i login to the ubuntu machine from a windows computer to access a share on ubuntu
[02:20] <Music_Shuffle> R3linquish3r, THe plugins were installed by default for me I think...really.
[02:20] <Fedge> Pelo: i'm a mod there ;-)
[02:20] <mindstate> quaal: depends on wut kind of FS ur using for linux, there's software though
[02:20] <zzswift> evening
[02:20] <quaal> mindstate, i've already made the share through samba
[02:20] <mindstate> mindstate: i've got linux mounted in windows
[02:20] <Amenemhet> quall.....depends on the windows version
[02:21] <quaal> i'm just getting the login box on the windows machine
[02:21] <quaal> windows 2000
[02:21] <R3linquish3r> Music_Shuffle, i probably should note im using dapper not edgy. i used automatix2 to isntall gaim and synaptic to install extra plugins. the plugins installed were 1.5 though
[02:21] <quaal> or no
[02:21] <quaal> windows xp
[02:21] <Fedge> Flannel: I couldn't get the desktop cd to work, so i threw in the server cd and configured grub to boot off fd0
[02:21] <mindstate> quaal what filesystem is ur linux partition
[02:21] <Music_Shuffle> R3linquish3r, ahh, nevermind then, I have no idea.
[02:21] <quaal> mindstate, ext3 i believe
[02:21] <Flannel> Fedge: server CD couldve just as easily been alternate CD ;)  same installer
[02:21] <R3linquish3r> Music_Shuffle, aight thanks anyway
[02:21] <Amenemhet> then sorry dude
[02:22] <Kickaha> Evening, all. I'm having a little trouble with Ubuntu's Update Manager. I'm hoping someone can help?
[02:22] <Fedge> flannel: makes sense I suppose, and thanks for all your help/googling last night
[02:22] <quaal> hmm i think i found a guide her ehttp://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=301178
[02:22] <quaal> here http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=301178
 lanlost...eth probably defaults to wired .. isnt eth ethernet?.. wouldn't eth always be wired?
[02:22] <Nutubuntu> Kickaha - it's telling you packages are being held back?
[02:22] <Amenemhet> linux can read ntfs, fats etc, not the other way tho
[02:22] <Kickaha> Two packages, to be precise
[02:22] <linux_> Kickaha, try sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade
[02:22] <mindstate> quaal: i've got the software on my windows partition , i cant think of the name though works with ext3
[02:22] <Lanlost_> der0b> lanlost_: are you using NetworkManger?  if yes, to the best of my knowlege you won't be able to do what you want. .. whats an alternative to networkmanager?..
[02:22] <yves_mg> hi
[02:23] <Nutubuntu> Kickaha - they're kernel related?
[02:23] <Amenemhet> lan....yes its probably defaulting, pull the plug an see
[02:23] <Kickaha> All right - give me a second. (Two systems on a KVM switch...) And yes, both are kernal related. The message is :
[02:23] <yves_mg> is there somebody who knows what file represent the startup programs while starting x window?
[02:23] <shmeelAway> any1 have a script that will let me run things as root? i had one but my reinstalling edgy went bad and i lost everything lol. thing online doesn't work
[02:23] <Biovore> yves_mg: on kde ~/.AutoStart I think..
[02:23] <mindstate> quaal: http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/
[02:23] <yves_mg> ubuntu
[02:23] <Kickaha> Linux image 386 and Linux restricted modules 386 are being held back
[02:23] <Amenemhet> mindstate....can you tell me the name of that windows software
[02:23] <Amenemhet> ?
 lan....yes its probably defaulting, pull the plug an see
[02:24] <Nutubuntu> Kickaha - it's a server-side package management glitch; ignore it; a bug has been filed and they're working it
[02:24] <Lanlost_> well yeah.. but I wnat to default to the wireless connection
[02:24] <mindstate> Amenemhet: lemme go thru my windows drive hold on
[02:24] <Lanlost_> not the eth connection
[02:24] <Lanlost_> shouldn't there be a simple 10 second way to change this?
[02:24] <Kickaha> Nutubuntu - so it's not at my end?
[02:24] <Amenemhet> lanlost.....on a windows or linux?
[02:24] <Lanlost_> linux
[02:24] <Toma-> Lanlost_: just change the default in networkmanager?
[02:25] <imbecile> anything in particular i need to know before installing beryl?
[02:25] <Lanlost_> theres no option in networkmanager that I see..
[02:25] <Kickaha> shmeel - I don't know where it is, but there's a root terminal option in Synaptic.
[02:25] <nexousNET> Hi, how do I change the computer name?
[02:25] <Flannel> imbecile: #ubuntu-effects has all the details
[02:25] <Nutubuntu> Kickaha - nope. I had the same issue today; so did many others ... I am guessing here from total ignorance, but I'd be surprised to see it again tomorrow
[02:25] <Lanlost_> I had to just uncheck my wired connection
[02:25] <Amenemhet> not sure dude, im a newbie to ubunto, but I know fedora gives me greif at college dude
[02:25] <Flannel> !hostname | nexousNET
[02:25] <Toma-> imbecile: perpare yourself to be amazed :D
[02:25] <ubotu> nexousNET: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname  and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly
[02:25] <Lanlost_> otherwise anytime I lpug in my ETH .. which goes to NOTHING.. it tries to connect to it..
[02:25] <mindstate> Amenemhet: eh..it didnt create a program files folder..but dude they've got it..just google it
[02:25] <nexousNET> Flannel: Thanks.
[02:25] <Kickaha> If you use it, once you do, you'll get a root terminal menu itme in.. one sec..
[02:25] <Lanlost_> I mean its plugged into my router.. but I dont want to use that as my internet connection
[02:26] <imbecile> thanks guys
[02:26] <yves_mg> is there somebody who knows what file represent the startup programs while starting x window? i'm using ubuntu
[02:26] <Kickaha> Ah. You'll get a root terminal menu item in your system tools submenu.
[02:26] <Lanlost_> I want my wireless to be my internet connection and my wired ethernet to be my local area network
[02:26] <Kickaha> Just look through Synaptic, and the package will be somewhere in there - that's where I found it.
[02:27] <marshall> how do you partition a usb key to fat32?
[02:27] <blankfaze> so, the GNOME file dialogues suck really hard.  i assume they are a byproduct of nautilus.  is there a way to use some other file browser like (vomit) konqueror or something?
[02:27] <der0b> lanlost_: if memory serves, networkmanager will ALWAYS disconnect your wireless and use the physical connection when you plug it in.  that is by design
[02:27] <Amenemhet> lanlost ...ya lost me there, how many pcs are ya netting and so on?
[02:27] <Lanlost_> uh..
[02:27] <Amenemhet> yes
[02:27] <Lanlost_> so its impossible to ipmasquerade then
[02:27] <Lanlost_> ... ok ..
[02:28] <Catachan__> did anyone get that message?
[02:28] <Lanlost_> all I want to do is use my wireless internet connection.. and then forward that to the router at my house..
[02:28] <Catachan__> okay, 'tis me again, still having some trouble with the file I mentioned earlier, please scroll halfway down the page to see the "Linux install section 2.2.2" http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/AoA/Linux/HTML/HelloWorld.html
[02:28] <Lanlost_> I have a router with an internet connection at the house across the street frmo me.. but none of my other room mates can connect to it.. its out of their signal
[02:28] <Kickaha> Oh, and thanks, Nutubuntu - I was frustated that nothing I tried seemed to work, and was concerned I'd shot myself in the foot (even though that's rather hard to do with Ubuntu - one of its graces..)
[02:28] <Lanlost_> I'm at the window next to it.. so I get a good signal..
[02:28] <Catachan__> we determined that I had to go to /etc/environment and edit that, but a few steps down, it tells me to add four lines to the same file it told me to edit before, so, I am wondering if perhaps, I need to add those files to somewhere other than that environment file
[02:28] <tmalloy> can anyone help me with a sound problem? I've already tried the comprehensive guide on the forums
[02:28] <Amenemhet> lanlost....ahhhh
[02:28] <Lanlost_> so I was going to connect to it.. like I am now.. and then forward it to my router whcih I can hardwire into..
[02:28] <Nutubuntu> Kickaha - y/w : )
[02:28] <Lanlost_> so they could get the internet
[02:28] <Flannel> Catachan__: you sure you're in the right channel?
[02:28] <Lanlost_> I dont understand why its impossible to do this..
[02:29] <Amenemhet> you want them to wire into you ?
[02:29] <Lanlost_> no
[02:29] <shmeelAway> any1 have a script that will let me run things as root? i had one but my reinstalling edgy went bad and i lost everything lol. thing online doesn't work
[02:29] <Lanlost_> I want them to wire into my router
[02:29] <Lanlost_> there are two routers.. I am connected to the router with the internet connection..
[02:29] <Amenemhet> from across the street?
[02:29] <Lanlost_> I have another router here.. that they can connect to
[02:29] <Amenemhet> lol o
[02:29] <Amenemhet> ok
[02:29] <Eroick> Which wifi cards (pci) support linux WITHOUT NDiswrapper?
[02:29] <Lanlost_> I just need to get the connection from my computer into the router HERE
[02:29] <Lanlost_> basically I awnt to use my computer as a wireless access point.
[02:29] <nexousNET> Anyone successfully setup a WPC 54G linksys wireless adapter on 6.06?
[02:29] <Amenemhet> yes i see now
[02:29] <Catachan__> this is related to ubuntu, and installing the assembler, if you can tell me a better channel, I will gladly clear the airwaves of my questions here to go ask in the appropriate place
[02:29] <loca|host> i have just installed ubuntu on my PC, there's a problem, BIOS does'nt appear to be detecting that an OS has started, by default, when the computer starts, the fans will go fast till windows loads, fans will slow down, with ubuntu, fans never slow down
[02:30] <Flannel> Catachan__: sorry, right.  misread your statement.  thought you were installing linux kernel 2.2.2 ;)
[02:30] <Amenemhet> you need to set up a network ie network sharin then
[02:30] <farruinn> Lanlost_: I believe you can do that with NAT. I hear it's fairly easy to configure with firestarter
[02:30] <Lanlost_> but the problem is.. everytime I connect my router to my computer here.. it disconnects my connection to the one across the street
[02:30] <Kickaha> One last question before I go. Does anyone know where I can get the Dapper Drake icons in windows format? JUST the icons? I rather like the drive icons in Ubuntu, far more than I like the Windows icons, and would like to pinch them for my windows box.
[02:30] <Amenemhet> ahhhhh
[02:30] <ivx> hey, i accidently deleted gaim from the tray, how can i get it back up there
[02:30] <Amenemhet> let me think a sec
[02:30] <der0b> lanlost_: and it will keep disconnecting as long as you're using network manager..
[02:31] <quaal> mindstate, yea this definitely works.. http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=301178 just have to add your login to make it a smblogin
[02:31] <Amenemhet> yes i think so....
[02:31] <quaal> dont have to deal with installing stuff on windows
[02:31] <Amenemhet> because it will always default
[02:31] <der0b> lanlost_: I just went with ndiswrapper.
[02:31] <Lanlost_> omg.. firestarter seems to be an internet connection sharer
[02:31] <mindstate> quaal: maybe ill try that way..seems simpler
[02:31] <farruinn> ivx: from the tray or from your panel? The icon in the tray only appears when gaim is running, so just open it again.
[02:31] <Lanlost_> der0b.. so now do I stop network manager?
[02:31] <quaal> mindstate, thanks
[02:31] <Lanlost_> ndiswrapper? I don't need to use windows drivers
[02:31] <mindstate> quaal: no problem
[02:32] <ivx> farruinn, yes i deleted it from the tray, i clicked  removed from panel, do it poped up, then i went to x it and now it will just close, i can't minimize it to tray anymore
[02:32] <Flannel> Catachan__: what are you adding to /etc/environment?
[02:33] <farruinn> ivx: it sounds like you actually removed the tray itself maybe? right-click the panel>add to panel... system tray
[02:34] <ivx> farruinn, yes that is what i did, but when i did add to tray, it was not under there
[02:34] <con-man> I need to access a .pst file, how can I accomplish this
[02:34] <DJ_Gentoo> ...I'm back
[02:34] <DJ_Gentoo> oh ,hey, I am.
[02:34] <Amenemhet> hmmm, pst.....is that an outlook file?
[02:35] <DJ_Gentoo> clicked "join" 3 times...
[02:35] <Pooky> What's a good tool for building ERD's for databases in linux?
[02:35] <Catachan__> Flannel, I was adding a path to point it to the hla (High Level Assembler)
[02:35] <quaal> does ubuntu have a program similar to poweriso?
[02:35] <quaal> so i can mount an iso image
[02:35] <quaal> and share it
[02:35] <Flannel> Catachan__: oh, you do that in .bashrc like it says
[02:35] <sylpheedClaws> yes
[02:35] <ubuntuineedofhel> Can anyone help me to setup my wireless usb
[02:35] <sylpheedClaws> use mount -o loop
[02:35] <Flannel> !iso | quaal
[02:35] <ubotu> quaal: To mount an ISO disc image, type "sudo mount -o loop my.iso <mountpoint>" There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before burning. Burning .iso files: see !burn
[02:35] <mindstate> can't u mount iso directly in terminal
[02:35] <mindstate> yes
[02:35] <quaal> awesome
[02:35] <sylpheedClaws> yes
[02:35] <Catachan__> the part that confuses me is that in .bashrc, the PATH variable is not there
[02:35] <quaal> thanks guys
[02:35] <CrakeHunter> hello i would like to apply the automiatc updates but dont have the password (fresh install) what should i do?
[02:36] <ubuntuineedofhel> ok what do I do first
[02:36] <Flannel> Catachan__: you just add it (you probably have an empty .bashrc anyway)
[02:36] <Pelo> CrakeHunter,  it's your own password you need
[02:36] <CrakeHunter> well i never entered one!
[02:36] <Nutubuntu> con-man - you could look for libpst - I haven't used it myself so that's all I know about it
[02:36] <farruinn> Pooky: dia
[02:37] <Amenemhet> boot into single user mode in grub or lilo, or boot from a cd, try hirens boot cd, good tools in there for password recovery
[02:37] <Pelo> CrakeHunter,  didn't you pick a password for your own accound ?
[02:37] <farruinn> Pooky: actually, i don't know if it's a *good* tool, but it is *a* tool for doing that :)
[02:37] <Flannel> Catachan__: er, sorry. different file you wouldn't have.  You do have a .bashrc,
[02:37] <CrakeHunter> a i get it ;) ill try that
[02:37] <Kickaha> Thanks for the help, and I'll see you around soon.
[02:37] <Pooky> hehe
[02:37] <Pooky> farruinn, well thanks for the suggestion
[02:37] <shmeelAway> any1 have a script that will let me run things as root? i had one but my reinstalling edgy went bad and i lost everything lol. thing online doesn't work
[02:37] <CrakeHunter> worked, thanks
[02:37] <farruinn> Pooky: I haven't used it extensively, but it may server your purposes
[02:38] <farruinn> shmeelAway: that's a bad idea. Why not just use sudo?
[02:38] <Pooky> I have a database and I was hoping there was a nice tool for just drawing relations between the tables
[02:38] <Polygon89> hello, i am wondering why the update manager wont let me update three packages, linux header, image and restricted modules. they are greyed out in the update manager
[02:38] <mindstate> shmeelAway: sudo
[02:38] <mindstate> lol
[02:38] <Nutubuntu> Polygon89 -   - it's a server-side package management glitch; ignore it; a bug has been filed and they're working it
[02:38] <Pooky> I've seen tools for it on os x and windows, and was hopeful there would be one on linux
[02:38] <shmeelAway> with the right click, just makes some things easier
[02:38] <ubuntuineedofhel> I have a Belkin 54g wireless usb and I am using Ubuntu 6.10
[02:38] <Flannel> Catachan__: and adding it to your bashrc doesn't work? (you'll want to copy the line from /etc/environment and append, because PATH= will overwrite the old stuff
[02:38] <shmeelAway> i won't go around deleting and destroying everything
[02:38] <Pelo> Polygon89,  it's on the repo side,  leave it alone they will update when they get fixed or what ever
[02:38] <Polygon89> pelo, nutubunutu, ok. thanks!
[02:39] <sylpheedClaws> this is my first time upgrading from Dapper to Edgy on Ubuntu via hacking sources.list... the other 2 times, I used Xubuntu
[02:39] <Amenemhet> crakehunter??
[02:39] <Catachan__> Flannel: the thing is that I do have a .bashrc, but I needed to edit the PATH variable in the environment file, so now I need to figure out the second part that is for identifying what to export and import to the assmebler
[02:39] <sylpheedClaws> should that make a difference?
[02:39] <loca|host> i've tryed an upgrade from breezy to edgy and ran into xserver-xorg issue, someone know this issue ?
[02:39] <jrib> sylpheedClaws: it's recommended that you use the update-manager, not edit your sources.list manually
[02:39] <ubuntuineedofhel> could anyone please help me
[02:39] <sylpheedClaws> uhoh...
[02:40] <sylpheedClaws> I might have to wipe my partition again. Ebbeh.
[02:40] <farruinn> Pooky: try searching around a bit with 'apt-cache search' or on http://packages.ubuntu.com, it looks like there may be a couple of other options
[02:40] <Pelo> ubuntuineedofhel,  did you try searching for your model make and number in the forum ?
[02:40] <sylpheedClaws> thanks for catching that
[02:40] <loca|host> any one ?
[02:40] <ubuntuineedofhel> how do you detect a wireless usb
[02:40] <blankfaze> can someone list off some alternatives to the Nautilus file manager
[02:40] <Flannel> loca|host: Breezy to edgy isn't supported.  Breezy to dapper to edgy is the correct upgrade path
[02:40] <jrib> sylpheedClaws: well you /can/ upgrade that way, but sometimes it gets bumpy
[02:40] <sylpheedClaws> I saw somethign somewhere about how Xubunt users should hack, and Ubuntu users should use Update Manager
[02:40] <amicrawler> well if the system will see it you can use it
[02:41] <shmeelAway> pretty please some1?
[02:41] <sylpheedClaws> thanks for catching that in time- it wasn't done downloading!
[02:41] <farruinn> loca|host: I don't think skipping releases is recommended
[02:41] <Pelo> blankfaze,  look up nautilus in wikipedia , you might get a list of alternatives ( comparison of files managers )
[02:41] <blankfaze> pelo:  oh.  good idea.
[02:41] <jmichaelx> could anyone help me on this? i cannot play any video files right now using kaffeine+xine (or anything else plus xine, as far as i can tell.) it makes programs like kaffeine and crash. my debugging info looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4775/   i was up all night trying to fix this and am at an end. if i am not providing enough detail, please let me know\
[02:41] <gabriela> hello
[02:41] <jrib> shmeelAway: use sudo when you need to run things as root
[02:41] <Amenemhet> hmmm, yes dont skip aan upgrade
[02:41] <gabriela> hi everyone
[02:41] <linux_> what is the fastest that yall recommend installing with ubuntu?
[02:41] <mindstate> hello gabriela
[02:41] <Flannel> sylpheedClaws: update-manager was causing some troubles on xubuntu, yeah.  I don't know if they're resolved.  xubuntu site has info
[02:41] <linux_> fastest GUI
[02:42] <gabriela> mindstate
[02:42] <gabriela> hi
[02:42] <spasticteapot> jmichaelx: There's a plugin in Synaptic that gets you AVI, WMV, and other compatibility.
[02:42] <mindstate> :)
[02:42] <spasticteapot> Can't remember what it's called.
[02:42] <shmeelAway> the problem is i don't know like any nautilus commands
[02:42] <goofey> is this a good thing or a bad thing when doing an apt-get upgrade: "The following packages have been kept back: linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic linux-restricted-modules-generic"
[02:42] <jrib> shmeelAway: what do you mean?
[02:42] <shmeelAway> everything i do with sudo i basically have to go online to look up
[02:42] <Flannel> goofey: don't worry about it.  It'll get fixed soon.  And it won't cause any issues currently
[02:42] <Nutubuntu> goofey -  it's a package management glitch in the repositories; ignore it; a bug has been filed and they're working it
[02:42] <jrib> shmeelAway: what do you need to do exactly?
[02:42] <Eroick> I'm buying a desktop for linux. I want to run Ubuntu, or maybe XUbubntu. I have pastebinned the specs of the two computers. which do you recomend? This PC would be mainly just for desktop stuff... The specs: http://pastebin.ca/346076  . Also, I need a wireless card. A PCI one. Which do you recomend?
[02:42] <Pelo> g'night folks
[02:42] <gabriela> mindstate: i have an issue with a notebool
[02:42] <Amenemhet> have you a password set for root?
[02:42] <goofey> Flannel: thanks!!!
[02:42] <ubuntuineedofhel> does anyone know how to setup a wireless usb card I greatly appreciate it
[02:43] <Amenemhet> smeelaway?
[02:43] <gabriela> midstate the battery drain to fast
[02:43] <jmichaelx> spasticteapot: i don't think that is what i need.... i had videos working fine for a long time
[02:43] <mindstate> gabriela: what sore of problem
[02:43] <Flannel> Eroick: that's a question for #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks.
[02:43] <shmeelAway> jrib, like change the access of some files and such
[02:43] <Lanlost_> so no one knows how to stop using network manager?
[02:43] <goofey> Nutubuntu: thanks!!!
[02:43] <Nutubuntu> : )
[02:43] <mindstate> gabriela: lol sounds like u need a new battery
[02:43] <gabriela> mindstate: the battery drain too fast
[02:43] <jrib> shmeelAway: you shouldn't need to do that that often if at all
[02:43] <Eroick> Flannel: sorry, Ill take it there :)
[02:43] <gabriela> no is new
[02:43] <shmeelAway> i dont' want to actually log in as root, just a few things once in a while
[02:43] <Amenemhet> shmeelaway.....you need to set a password for root
[02:43] <Amenemhet> first
[02:43] <linux_> lanlost_, can you just uninstall it using apt-get?
[02:43] <gabriela> minstate the notebook is new
[02:43] <farruinn> shmeelAway: then 'sudo chmod <stuff>'
[02:43] <Flannel> Amenemhet, shmeelAway, just use sudo -i
[02:43] <Lanlost_> ok, but what do I use instead?
[02:43] <gabriela> well just 2 months
[02:43] <mindstate> gabriela: maybe try turning the power management on
[02:44] <linux_> i didn't use any when i installed xubuntu
[02:44] <Lanlost_> if I disable that then I have no internet connection.. and no way to reinstall it
[02:44] <gabriela> how do you do that?
[02:44] <linux_> ubuntu has the drivers to connect to any ethernet
[02:44] <pbureau> Eroick, personally I dont do AMD (no flaming please), so I vote for # 1
[02:44] <Lanlost_> I need to use wireless linux_
[02:44] <mindstate> gabriela: what are you using?
[02:44] <linux_> no need to have the GUI and all (which is the network manager package)
[02:44] <shmeelAway> like, when i have something on my desktop, and i want to change something in it's properties
[02:44] <linux_> oh, didn't know that lanlost
[02:44] <shmeelAway> idk how, i know there are sudo commands out there to do it, but i don't know them and i have to surf the web for like 10 minutes
[02:44] <Lanlost_> all I am trying to do is use ra0 as my internet connection and use eth for a local area connection.
[02:44] <gabriela> to mindstate i use an acer aspire 1640
[02:44] <linux_> i don't think there are many alternatives, i know there is a way to do it from command line, i have done it before from there without the network manager
[02:45] <Lanlost_> If I plug in a cable to eth0 .. then my ra0 stops working.
[02:45] <jrib> shmeelAway: if it is on your desktop it should be owned by your user, just right click on it
[02:45] <mindstate> gabriela: i meant what operating system?
[02:45] <Amenemhet> shmeelaway...if it is a fresh install there is no root password set, do that first
[02:45] <shmeelAway> i already have it
[02:45] <gabriela> mindstate ubuntu
[02:45] <Amenemhet> can you su -?
[02:45] <Flannel> Amenemhet, shmeelAway, there's no need/reason to set a root password, for 99.9% of users
[02:45] <linux_> in ubuntu, amenemhet, you can su
[02:45] <Lanlost_> I dont see why there is no way to just select ra0 as my internet connection and use eth0 as a local area connection.. it shouldn't be too hard.
[02:45] <mindstate> gabriela: goto system --> preferences --> power management
[02:45] <Lanlost_> no one knows how to do it though.
[02:45] <mindstate> gabriela: im not sure if that will help you but its worth a shot
[02:46] <gabriela> ok llet me try it
[02:46] <shmeelAway> i just want to make some things a bit easier, i don't do things unless i know what i'm doing w/ the root
[02:46] <Amenemhet> in 6.10 you have to set a root pass, before you can do root changes i beleive
[02:46] <jrib> !sudo | Amenemhet
[02:46] <ubotu> Amenemhet: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[02:46] <farruinn> Amenemhet: root changes? like what?
[02:46] <linux_> lanlost_, try searching configure ubuntu terminal wireless in google maybe
[02:47] <Flannel> Amenemhet: no youdon't.  Ubuntu doesn't use/require the root account
[02:47] <Amenemhet> i couldnt apt, couldnt set wireless, without bein 'priveledged', so i set a pass for root and away
[02:48] <jrib> shmeelAway: my point is you should not be forced to do things as root on a regular basis if you are just doing things as a normal user.  If you do for some reason, then something is wrong
[02:48] <xsystemx> anyone know how to get VNC working so I can remotely connect with firefox instead of using vncviewer ?
[02:48] <farruinn> Amenemhet: you can become priveledged by running the command with sudo, or opening a root shell with sudo -i
[02:48] <dyrne> someone familiar with vpnc? its not setting my default route to the tunnel.. its doing everything right but setting up routing. anyone else ran into this
[02:48] <farruinn> Lanlost_: have you tried just apt-get remove network-manager?
[02:48] <gabriela> how to improve battery life in my father nothebook
[02:48] <shmeelAway> jrib, i understand, i don't use it often, but it's just nice to have around
[02:48] <linux_> xsystemx, try vncserver --help (there is a web option there)
[02:48] <linux_> lanlost, i have installed network-manager from apt-get
[02:48] <Amenemhet> ah, well i did a sudo -
[02:48] <linux_> removeing should be the same
[02:48] <xsystemx> kk
[02:49] <marshall> whats the command to unmount a partition again?
[02:49] <Amenemhet> umount
[02:49] <Nutubuntu> umount
[02:49] <farruinn> Amenemhet: "sudo -" and "sudo -i" are basically the same except that obviously in the first case you need a root passwd and the second an admin pass
[02:49] <Amenemhet> ahhh ty
[02:49] <marshall> lol thanks Amenemhet and nutu
[02:49] <marshall> Nutubuntu
[02:49] <Nutubuntu> : )
[02:50] <Eroick> pbureau: can I message you please?
[02:50] <jrib> shmeelAway: have what around exactly?  I'm not sure what you are looking for?  Can you give an example scenario?
[02:50] <gabriela> hello someone to helpme with battery life with notebook?
[02:50] <gabriela> thanks
[02:50] <Catachan__> okay, so, can some one help me with the installation?
[02:50] <Amenemhet> gabriella: what kind?
[02:50] <pbureau> Eroick, sure or come to #helpya
[02:50] <gabriela> it drain too fast
[02:51] <Catachan__> if you think you can help, I would appreciate if we could do a PM or Direct chat, (I forget what it is called)
[02:51] <shmeelAway> idk, it just pops up from time to time that i need to run something as root, but i dont' know how, and it's very frustrating having to search for it on the internet  or ask ppl every time
[02:51] <gabriela> AMenemhet is an acer aspire 1640
[02:51] <farruinn> shmeelAway: wait, you mean graphical apps?
[02:51] <Amenemhet> :(
[02:52] <gabriela> Amenemhet: what does that mean? you cant helpme?
