[08:21] <anonymousmoose> will applications in the other workspace be active if I'm not using that workspace?
[08:21] <stefg> light_ are you sure you want to touch it ? :-)

[08:22] <ubotu> Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl
[08:22] <yodaz> Aardwolf: try apt-get update
[08:22] <yodaz> or aptitude update
[08:22] <light_> stefg, nah.. just for back up
[08:22] <yodaz> and check your sources.list
[08:22] <porter_> is ubuntu somehow the $successor of simplymepis ?
[08:22] <stefg> light_: the best reason i can think of :-)
[08:22] <light_> :)
[08:22] <Aardwolf> I did aptitude update, then tried again, and again it says it can't find such package
[08:22] <porter_> somehow...?
[08:22] <anonymousmoose> I guess I'll just ask the forum
[08:22] <Aardwolf> and, it also doesn't for example find a package "xmms"
[08:23] <marcin_> thx stefg :)
[08:23] <Aardwolf> so how can I get KDE then?
[08:23] <stefg> Aardwolf: get a fresh sources.list from !easysource, sudo apt-get update and try again
[08:23] <Aardwolf> (and xmms)
[08:24] <Aardwolf> !easysource
[08:24] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[08:24] <Aardwolf> should I use apt-get or aptitude?
[08:24] <inglor> this source-o-matic thing worked great, now VLC is installing fine
[08:24] <inglor> thanks a lot :)
[08:24] <SpacePuppy> IPOD's on linux.. no problem right? just another filesystem?
[08:25] <inglor> ubuntu opens the iPod as a disk on key by default

[08:25] <inglor> !ipod
[08:25] <SpacePuppy> cool.. thx

[08:27] <xphree> Hello all, anyone knows how to solve the BUG of mysql-server caused by GCC with 3dnow ?
[08:27] <xphree> or.. where are optional mysql repositories for amd64 ?
[08:27] <xphree> i have the server down cuz of the bug... :(
[08:28] <daviey> can somebody help me :(
[08:28] <xphree> Refer to bug Bug #66702
[08:28] <Aardwolf> by the way I appear to have ubuntu 5.10 (it was the most recent cdrom I found), does kubuntu-desktop exist for this?
[08:28] <gnufied> any idea, when new rubu bug fix release will trinkle through main repos?
[08:28] <wiz> I see my ubuntu has festival after initial install, what speech device is it? I can't seem to find /dev/speech
[08:28] <Zaggynl> Hi, I put my external usb hdd in fstab, but it doesn't get mounted
[08:28] <Zaggynl> after a sudo mount -a it does
[08:28] <Zaggynl> what gives?
[08:29] <daviey> Zaggynl, have you rebooted?
[08:29] <Zaggynl> yep
[08:29] <gnufied> i am kinda avoiding compiling it from source code
[08:29] <daviey> Zaggynl, no idea then.. sorry
[08:29] <Zaggynl> np
[08:29] <MagicNet> is it better to use 6.06 or 6.10/ubuntu? What is most stable etc??
[08:29] <trilingualkid> Are there any distros that imitate mac os x?
[08:29] <Zaggynl> dapper should be more stable
[08:29] <Zaggynl> 6.06
[08:29] <bruenig> MagicNet, I think the consensus appears to be 6.06 is more stable, but I find 6.10 better myself
[08:30] <Zaggynl> trilingualkid, you can set up your desktop manager to look like mac osx
[08:30] <stefg> 6.10 is not production rady IMHO, while 6.06 stabilized over time
[08:30] <trilingualkid> zaggynl: how do i do that?
[08:30] <bruenig> MagicNet, although I did go from ubuntu to xubuntu in the 6.06 to 6.10 switch so that might be apples and oranges
[08:30] <MagicNet> ok
[08:30] <MagicNet> ty.
[08:30] <daviey> Has anybody used the repair option of ubuntu edgy?  If so what does it actually do?  What does it repair / replace?
[08:30] <Zaggynl> trilingualkid, custom gnome or kde themes etc
[08:30] <trilingualkid> zaggynl: how do i get those themes?
[08:31] <Zaggynl> trilingualkid, you download them from various sites
[08:31] <elTigr1> well, using the term "production ready" in conjunction with any linux desktop is a joke...
[08:31] <Some_Person> ok, i set my modem (router?) to give me a private ip address
[08:31] <Zaggynl> yeah
[08:31] <trilingualkid> zaggynl: can you give an example of one of these sites?
[08:31] <gRaCiOsO> i installed a generic driver for my webcam called spca5xx but when i start camorama to test my webcam it says "could not connect to video device (/dev/video0). Please check connection. someone could help me?
[08:31] <Zaggynl> trilingualkid, sure, hold on
[08:31] <Some_Person> how do i configure it in ubuntu?
[08:31] <bruenig> depends, take ubuntu load it with codecs and stuff, then it is production ready
[08:31] <bruenig> linux mint therefore is production ready
[08:31] <daviey> gRaCiOsO, have you tried accessing it as root?
[08:31] <stefg> elTgr1: but calling win production ready is even a bigger one :-)
[08:32] <jodok> hello, i'm trying to debootstrap dapper from a debian sarge installation. i always receive /usr/sbin/debootstrap: line 3: finddebs_style: command not found. any idea?
[08:32] <wiz> How does the festival speech stuff work on out of the box edgy?
[08:32] <gRaCiOsO> daviey,  yes its the same
[08:32] <daviey> gRaCiOsO, worth a try.... ;)
[08:32] <kbrooks__> what does production ready mean?
[08:32] <bruenig> kbrooks__, ready to produce things on seems to be the literal meaning
[08:32] <Zaggynl> trilingualkid, http://www.gnome-look.org
[08:32] <stefg> it just works, and doesn't bother you with stupid/nasty bugs twice a day
[08:33] <gRaCiOsO> daviey, i did it with gksu camorama  and it says (camorama:5917): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
[08:33] <gRaCiOsO> Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
[08:33] <fenrig> how can i configure the bootloader on the live cd of ubuntu?
[08:33] <trilingualkid> Zaggynl: thank you, Zaggynl. i will look at it.
[08:33] <bruenig> gRaCiOsO, gksudo camorama
[08:33] <Aardwolf> how can I get KDE on ubuntu 5.10?
[08:33] <ploom> apt-get kubuntu?
[08:33] <bruenig> Aardwolf, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[08:33] <gRaCiOsO> bruenig,  same message
[08:34] <bruenig> gRaCiOsO, does it launch though, I know gksudo gedit gives that same warning but always launches
[08:34] <Aardwolf> I already tried apt-get and aptitude, they know of no such package named kubuntu-desktop, not even after "update"
[08:34] <Some_Person> how do i set up my dsl in ubuntu? i have a "private ip" now
[08:34] <fenrig> how can i configure the bootloader using the live cd of ubuntu?
[08:34] <bruenig> Aardwolf, pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:34] <bruenig> !paste | Aardwolf
[08:34] <ubotu> Aardwolf: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[08:35] <fenrig> !grub
[08:35] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[08:35] <gRaCiOsO> bruenig,  yeah but it says could not connect with video device (/dev/video0)
[08:35] <stefg> Aardwolf: what does 'apt-cache search kde' tell you? (cough, cough may i remind you that linux is case sensitive ...)
[08:35] <gRaCiOsO> i installed generic driver for it maybe is it bad?
[08:35] <Aardwolf> bruenig, here it is: http://cpp.sourceforge.net/?show=26767
[08:36] <metroman> When do nicknames expire on this server?
[08:36] <Some_Person> i need help setting up my dsl
[08:36] <Aardwolf> "apt-cache search kde" returns a huge list of both kde related and non-kde-related things
[08:36] <bruenig> Aardwolf, remove the # out from the beginning of every line that begins with deb, and delete the last line
[08:37] <kbrooks__> metroman, register with nickserv, then your nickname cannot be taken by someone else unless they have an password.
[08:37] <chrissturm> does the mysql5 package only listen on localhost by default, or is it accessible from remote?
[08:37] <eyalw> hi
[08:37] <mike> Greetings.  I have a question about Ubuntu and unionfs.  Is there anyone here that can answer a technical question?
[08:37] <Some_Person> please help
[08:37] <felixjet> can i recover a sudo password if i forgot it?
[08:37] <chrissturm> felixjet: you cant
[08:37] <bruenig> gRaCiOsO, that sounds like it might be an error with the program, not gksudo
[08:37] <kbrooks__> metroman, (which they won't, if you have a good hard head which can resist telepathic attempts)
[08:37] <ludo__> felixjet , your sudo password is your own account password
[08:37] <felixjet> i forgot it
[08:37] <metroman> kbrooks__: I know but this nickname is already registered by someone.
[08:37] <chrissturm> felixjet: the sudo password is just your user password
[08:37] <felixjet> i forgot it
[08:37] <bruenig> felixjet, so you can't get into your account?
[08:38] <felixjet> auto login
[08:38] <kbrooks__> metroman, let me see.
[08:38] <gRaCiOsO> bruenig,  ok thanks i will try with another driver
[08:38] <xphree> hello
[08:38] <felixjet> i have auto login
[08:38] <stefg> felixjet: only way is to boot up a Live-CD, chroot as root into the system on hd and run 'passwd root'
[08:38] <chrissturm> felixjet: if you have autologin, you can find the password somewhere in the gdm config
[08:38] <xphree> anyone knows how to solve the mysql problem in ubuntu server amd64 _???
[08:38] <ludo__> felixjet, if you are using your computer on local you can log in maintenace mode as root
[08:38] <Some_Person> who was i talking to earlier about my dsl?
[08:38] <mike> felixjet, if you logged into the main desktop, that means your username's password was ok.  This should be the same password as for sudo.
[08:39] <kbrooks__> metroman, well, technically it has expired already. contact a staff and ask them to drop metroman from nickserv.
[08:39] <kbrooks__> metroman, use /stats p
[08:39] <bruenig> mike, auto login, therefore no password is given
[08:39] <ludo__> mike, yes but auto login is on and he forgot it
[08:39] <felixjet> for recovery mode ill be able to auto log on the sudo acc?
[08:39] <felixjet> or i need pass
[08:39] <metroman> kbrooks__: Who can I contact?
[08:39] <kbrooks__> metroman, i said use /stats p
[08:39] <chrissturm> felixjet: start recovery mode, and then enter passwd <username>
[08:39] <ludo__> felix, no pass needed but yu can change your user password
[08:39] <kbrooks__> metroman, to find out who you can contact
[08:39] <crouic6> hello and happy new year!
[08:39] <bruenig> felixjet, probably going to need to do what stefg said
[08:39] <eyalw> hi, i wanna program in c and create BPDU packets, to test my new learnings, how can i crate IP Packets in C?
[08:39] <metroman> kbrooks__: Ok, got it. Thanks.
[08:39] <mike> ah, then the live-cd seems a plausible solution, used to do that with Fedora too.
[08:39] <chrissturm> felixjet: and assign a new password
[08:39] <pike_> felixjet: yeah in single user mode (recovery) "su username" then "passwd"
[08:40] <crouic6> I have a little problem with a sound card
[08:40] <pike_> felixjet: or just passwd username
[08:40] <felixjet> i see, ill try
[08:40] <kbrooks__> pike_, no, you mean... sudo passwd username
[08:40] <chrissturm> pike_: su username and then passwd wont work
[08:40] <metroman> How come nobody uses PMs in here?
[08:40] <pike_> yeah i forgot it would prompt for old
[08:40] <bruenig> Aardwolf, did that work?
[08:40] <kbrooks__> pike_, su does not, has not, and never will work on an ubuntu default installation.
[08:40] <crouic6> is there somebody who can help me ?
[08:40] <eyalw> hi, how can i crate IP Packets in C?
[08:41] <crouic6> on ubuntu edgy
[08:41] <chrissturm> hmm, anyone know if the mysql package listens only on localhost by default?
[08:41] <Hydronaut> hello everyone. can anyone help w/ Evolution password entry for authentication to my sbc server?
[08:41] <stefg> !anyone  | crouic6
[08:41] <ubotu> crouic6: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[08:41] <squeakypants> my audio doesn't work, how can I get it?
[08:41] <crouic6> ok
[08:41] <pike_> kbrooks__: su username should work fine just not su root correct?
[08:41] <stefg> !sound
[08:41] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin
[08:41] <kbrooks__> pike_, by "work", i mean "work out of the box". by that, i mean that you use sudo <command> w/ your user password.
[08:41] <crouic6> I have a sound card hercules fortissimo 3
[08:41] <pike_> kbrooks__: yeah i assumed he'd boot to single user shell
[08:42] <Aardwolf> bruenig, I did it and then used update. Now it seems to have a huge amount of packages, and something in ubuntu said there were updates available. However, it still doesn't appear to find "kubuntu-desktop"!$
[08:42] <squeakypants> thanks
[08:42] <stefg> !sound | crouic6
[08:42] <ubotu> crouic6: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin
[08:42] <crouic6> I have sound but I have a problem with the micro
[08:42] <Aardwolf> it still says "Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "kubuntu-desktop"", and then "The following packages have been kept back:" and a huge list of packages
[08:42] <mike> I have a question.  I have 2 computers, and possibly down the line more.  I'd like to have a base Ubuntu on my harddrive, and use unionfs to "layer" all my customizations on top of it including application installs, icewm instead of gnome, etc.  Then I'd like ot check in the unionfs layers into a CVS or SVN repository, and make all my computers use that.  Where exactly would I have the unionfs mount statements?
[08:42] <kbrooks__> pike_, actually, i really mean that su will give an error
[08:42] <stefg> Aardwolf: your dpkg appears seriously screwed
[08:42] <KHatfull> ping rauble
[08:43] <bruenig> Aardwolf, well do sudo apt-get upgrade, let that run through, you are probably missing a ton of updates since you had all of the repositories commented out
[08:43] <Riyonuk> When I boot up ubuntu, I get the Xubuntu screen, I want to get rid of Xubuntu, Xef or whatever its called, how do I?
[08:43] <crouic6> i can hear what I say but it's impossible to record my voice whith the micro
[08:43] <pike_> kbrooks__: i use it all the time example 'su - username -c "sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf" ' or something
[08:43] <Hydronaut> hello. need help with Evolution password authentication (entry)
[08:43] <crouic6> and on skype nobody hear me
[08:43] <stefg> Riyonuk: sudo dpkg-reconfigure uplash
[08:43] <Aardwolf> Normally nothing should be screwed... this is a freshly installed ubuntu 5.10 (too bad I didn't have a newer one available)
[08:44] <blitznl> just deleted the applet that shows the strength of my wireless connection and battery life, any idea how to get that back? (can't find them in the 'add to panel' section)
[08:44] <stefg> Riyonuk: sudo dpkg-reconfigure *usplash*
[08:44] <un_operateur> pike, why mix su and sudo in the same command?
[08:44] <chrissturm> whats the best way to find out what open ports my ubuntu server has?
[08:44] <KHatfull> chrissturm: http://www.grc.com  do a scan from there, works wel
[08:44] <pike_> un_operateur: just an example i normally use it like su - username -c "vncserver" or something like that.
[08:44] <KHatfull> well even
[08:45] <mike> chrissturm: netstat -tp, or netstat -tnp
[08:45] <stefg> chrissturm: i'd suggest a 'man netstat'
[08:45] <chrissturm> KHatfull: cool, thanks. I'm actually a customer of them
[08:45] <KHatfull> chrisstrum: assuming it's publicly accessable
[08:45] <mike> chrissturm: also try: lsof -i
[08:45] <Aardwolf> bruenig, to do apt-get upgrade it wants to download 183MB of files. I'd like to upgrade, but to save bandwidth I'd like it to not upgrade openoffice. How can I let it upgrade everything, except openoffice?
[08:45] <chrissturm> spinrite is just extremely cool
[08:45] <Ashton_Ke> Hello.
[08:45] <KHatfull> chrissturm: look for the Shields Up scan
[08:45] <bruenig> Aardwolf, I know there is a way but I forget how to do it
[08:45] <mike> anyone here knows anything about unionfs?
[08:46] <stefg> Aardwolf: apt-pinning...
[08:46] <sjnovick> Hi.  I have a question about powernowd.  My mouse acts all crazy with Ubuntu (but strangely enough, not with Debian).  It has been suggested that I uninstall powernowd, which has been shown to fix the problem for old Dell laptops like mine.  Is it dangerous to turn off powernowd ???
[08:46] <michael_>  /RAWLOG OPEN ~/mylog.log
[08:46] <michael_> doesn't work
[08:46] <michael_> strange
[08:46] <Riyonuk> stefg, well I think xubuntu has takes over everything, I want to complete obleteriate it from my machine
[08:47] <KHatfull> chrisstrum: and you're interested in what;s publicly accesable...Shields Up won't help you with ALL open ports as mike and stefg said
[08:47] <Aardwolf> is it possible to upgrade from 5.10 to a higher version this way?
[08:47] <michael_>  /LOG OPEN ~/mylog.log
[08:47] <Lynoure> mike: Are you keeping count, or do you have an actual question you are waiting to ask?
[08:47] <un_operateur> mike, all i know it's a filesystem that likes to be based in RAM and therefore is popular among the Live CD distros
[08:47] <kbrooks__> Can iptables be configured to send packet info to an command, whose return status it uses to decide whether to accept or reject a packet?
[08:47] <mike> sjnovick - probably worst that'll happen is that your system will run slow or else waste battery power.
[08:47] <Aardwolf> or do I have to download a new cdrom to get version 6?
[08:47] <LameBMX> Riyonuk: if you delete it from your machine .. it will still be resident in the rest of the electronics in your house man ... its takin over lol
[08:47] <Riyonuk> :o
[08:47] <sjnovick> mike -- thanks.
[08:47] <Riyonuk> no wai
[08:47] <LameBMX> lol
[08:47] <stefg> Riyonuk: sudo apt-get remove --purge xubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[08:47] <cmt^^> Anyone with experience using a Palm Tungsten with Ubuntu?
[08:47] <cmt^^> !pda
[08:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pda - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:47] <mike> I'm trying an interesting setup using unionfs.
[08:47] <cmt^^> !palm
[08:47] <ubotu> A good guide for setting up Palm devices is at http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/PalmOS-HOWTO.html#PC-CONNECT-USB
[08:47] <Riyonuk> gosh, how do you remmeber these commands
[08:47] <kbrooks__> Can iptables be configured to send packet info to an command, whose return status it uses to decide whether to accept or reject a packet?
[08:48] <Riyonuk> its crazy!
[08:48] <kbrooks__> If so, how?
[08:48] <deepsa> !hello
[08:48] <ubotu> hello: The classic greeting, and a good example. In component main, is optional. Version 2.1.1-4 (edgy), package size 47 kB, installed size 472 kB
[08:48] <mike> I know that wiht unionfs, I can "layer" a writable layer on top of a read only layer.
[08:48] <un_operateur> stefg, xubuntu-desktop is a meta package, so thats quite likely to purge very little
[08:48] <chrissturm> is there an intrusion detection system that is recommended for ubuntu?
[08:48] <stefg> un_operateur: that's by intention :-)
[08:48] <LameBMX> nice
[08:48] <deepsa> chrissturm: snort
[08:48] <kbrooks__> mike, yeah, you can layer layers on top of each other.
[08:48] <un_operateur> stefg, all the xfce/xubuntu packages are still going to be around anyway
[08:48] <LameBMX> "/list dont work too well on here
[08:48] <mike> So what I would like to do is have a fixed Ubuntu install on my harddrive (kinda like a cd but then on the harddrive), and have it so that all the changes are made in that "layer".
[08:49] <Hydronaut> ok. last try. my Evolution email client does not allow for a password field, which my isp server requires for POP authentication, etc. help
[08:49] <KHatfull> chrissturm: are you testing the ubuntu box or testing other hosts?
[08:49] <LameBMX> anyone here done a fakeraid install ... if so please pm me i got a few questions regarding how they got it too work
[08:49] <mike> Then I'd like to copy that "layer" into a CVS repository so that I can share it between multiple computers.
[08:49] <un_operateur> mike, why don't you just have a RAMdisk ? :)
[08:49] <chrissturm> KHatfull: I'm testing the ubuntu server that i am currently installing on my new dedicated server
[08:49] <KHatfull> If looking for something to test other hosts, nessus is another option, tho I don;t know if it;s in the repos
[08:49] <yandel> what known anti-virus work with Ubuntu?
[08:49] <LameBMX> also for people .. here .. mount time ... to mount local file systems .. i get a divide by 0 error
[08:49] <LameBMX> fakeraid
[08:50] <stefg> LameBMX: what'cha mean with 'fakeraid' ?
[08:50] <un_operateur> yandel, clamav
[08:50] <mike> At work I could install, say "mplayer" and tune it and everything, check in the layer into CVS, and at home I'd do a check out, and it's all there.
[08:50] <kbrooks__> Hydronaut, you aren't looking hard enough. unfortunately, i can't  really help you from windows, unless you install a vnc server.
[08:50] <yandel> guys
[08:50] <chrissturm> KHatfull: i tested it with nmap now, seems to have only http, ssh, smtp open
[08:50] <Lynoure> mike: It does indeed sound like a very interesting setup, I hope you share it with the world once you have ironed the kinks out.
[08:50] <yandel> what known anti virus work with ubuntu?
[08:50] <LameBMX> stefg: driver based hardware raid ...
[08:50] <stefg> !clamav
[08:50] <ubotu> clamav: antivirus scanner for Unix. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.88.4-1ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 65 kB, installed size 208 kB
[08:50] <kbrooks__> mike, thats nice
[08:50] <LameBMX> yandel you dont really need it
[08:50] <elTigr1> how can I get a higher display resolution?
[08:50] <un_operateur> mike, roaming profiles then -- unionfs is tied to a single-machine in that machine's RAM
[08:50] <mazyhaze> get that problem: http://uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0608.3/0225.html while booting the install cd
[08:50] <yandel> besides clamav
[08:51] <nolimitsoya> how do i change the port settings of mail servers in evolution?
[08:51] <yandel> LameBMX: we do because we also work with Windows boxes
[08:51] <elTigr1> !xorg
[08:51] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[08:51] <LameBMX> stefg: ie intel 875p chipset ... ich5r southbride .. sata raid0 install
[08:51] <LameBMX> yandel: sorry i didnt think about that till after i hit enter
[08:51] <mike> I could completely customize everything, including switching to IceWM, customize that.  I'd only have to do it once.
[08:51] <Hydronaut> kbrooks. thanks for a response. when I choose 'password', no drop-dwn field appears to enter a password
[08:51] <Toulous1> to restart x, cant you just type ctrl+alt+shift
[08:51] <yandel> else besides ClamAV something known
[08:51] <yandel> like symantec stuff, panda, etc...
[08:52] <mike> roaming profiles, sounds interesting.  I want to be able to do this without needing the CD, is that possible?
[08:52] <nolimitsoya> Toulous1, shouldnt that be ctrl+alt+backspace :)
[08:52] <pike_> Toulous1: ctrl-alt-bkspace
[08:52] <stefg> LameBMX: ah... people tend to use the native soft-raid facilities in linux (as i do) and avoid those controllerless 'raid-adapters'
[08:52] <un_operateur> mike, yep, thats the whole point of a "roaming profile" or "roaming home directory" .. portable across many machines
[08:52] <LameBMX> stefg: but how do you boot it ... i got dmraid setup n junk but im having some issues when i try the harddrive boot
[08:52] <LameBMX> stefg: dmraid needs to be updated but new package is broke etc etc
[08:52] <Aardwolf> Is there something for gnome, that is similar to Kate?
[08:53] <Hydronaut> kbrooks: where do I look?
[08:53] <mike> could I do apt-gets and do things like adjust files in /etc and have all those changes stored into that separate layer?
[08:53] <nolimitsoya> Aardwolf, emacs?
[08:53] <Toulous1> hey guys, how do i connect to Quakenet in Gaim?
[08:53] <stefg> LameBMX: i have a 100 MB non-raid /boot... where the kernel and initrd live...
[08:53] <nolimitsoya> Aardwolf, or scribble :)
[08:53] <LameBMX> stefg: im dual booting with windows ...
[08:53] <nolimitsoya> Aardwolf, perhaps gedit, if your demands are low
[08:53] <chrissturm> is there an article somewhere about the differences between normal software raid and lvm ?
[08:53] <Aardwolf> the "demands" are a text editor with built in terminal and a list of open files on the left :)
[08:53] <chrissturm> Aardwolf: scite
[08:53] <stefg> LameBMX: so am I ...
[08:54] <un_operateur> mike, well obviously not -- only the user's home directory is portable in those circumstances -- but you could have your way if you installed linux on a portable USB pen drive or such
[08:54] <LameBMX> stefg: that goes against my policy ... my other 2 harddrives are for backup only
[08:54] <pike_> Toulous1: offtopic but if you like quake try tremulous tremulous.info
[08:54] <Aardwolf> and source code highlighting
[08:54] <Aardwolf> and identation options :)
[08:54] <un_operateur> Aardwolf, gvim maybe? :)
[08:54] <Toulous1> pike_: huh? tremulous?
[08:54] <nolimitsoya> Aardwolf, id suggest emacs or scribble
[08:55] <Toulous1> what is it?
[08:55] <mike> I need to be able to run the multiple computers simultaneously, plus, it'd probably not fit on a USB key.
[08:55] <LameBMX> stefg: right now its set for /dev/mapper/isgw**** 120 for windows .. 2 for swap and the 118 for nix
[08:55] <mazyhaze> ubunutu installation hangs while booting
[08:55] <chrissturm> Aardwolf: scribes is quite nice, as is scite
[08:55] <LameBMX> and it tries to boot ...
[08:55] <nolimitsoya> Toulous1, its a foss shooter game
[08:55] <mazyhaze> checksum is ok
[08:55] <Toulous1> okie doke
[08:55] <Aardwolf> allright, I'll try them :)
[08:55] <dtek> Help with  Graphic card config
[08:55] <pike_> Toulous1: free online strategy fps
[08:55] <un_operateur> mike, unless you run a cluster, each machine maintains it's own system volumes, otherwise you dont have the distinction of "different" machines
[08:55] <Seveas> mneptok, is all of canonical on holidays?
[08:55] <LameBMX> stefg: it makes it too mounting local file system the dies
[08:55] <Hydronaut> kbrooks: I'll work on the vnc server. see ya later...
[08:56] <mike> I'm thinking to insert a unionfs mount statement somewhere in /etc/init.d, and then do a chroot into that hybrid environment.  It'd probably need a /proc and a couple of other things too.
[08:56] <hmg4> What is the best way to get as much information about current CPU and MOBO, and CPU temp?
[08:56] <chrissturm> strange that snort is in universe
[08:56] <nolimitsoya> how do i change the port settings of mail servers in evolution for use with gmail?
[08:56] <dtek> My S3 ProSavage DDR does not work.. installation cant see it and i dont know how to tweak xorg to make it work.. please someone help e
[08:56] <mike> So when the system boots, somewhere in the middle, or perhaps early in the boot process, it'll suddenly jump into that "layered" projection.
[08:57] <hmg4> nolimitsoya: mail.server.com:port
[08:57] <nolimitsoya> hmg4, thank you :)
[08:57] <yandel> yo
[08:57] <yandel> which known anti virus work with Ubuntu?
[08:57] <stefg> LameBMX: as i said... i can't help you much. i use softraid for my main linux /, but don't use it in win (doesn't improve performance anyway, and make things more complicated)
[08:57] <Toulous1> how do i connect to a different server in gaim
[08:57] <hmg4> nolimitsoya: You're welcome

[08:58] <jbroome> yandel: i hate to reward someone for spamming their question, but the f-prot installer is in the repos and works well
[08:58] <LameBMX> stefg: id agree with softraid in windows .. dynamic cut my throughput in half ... but i do know the fakeraid in windows worked really good and hoping for the same under nix

[09:01] <GhoSt_DoG> obductor@obductor:~$ wine FlashFXP

[09:01] <GhoSt_DoG> i want open FlashFXP
[09:01] <yandel> and if the linux box does not see the vir thats a problem because they can send it to a win machine and infect it
[09:01] <un_operateur> chrissturm, lvm is a form of "software raid" tho ..
[09:01] <LameBMX> eh ive got them mounted os installed and trying to start .. i just get that divide by zero error
[09:01] <Aardwolf> Application 'xmms' not available
[09:01] <Aardwolf> The application can not be found in your archive. This usually means that it is not available for your hardware plattform.
[09:01] <stefg> chrissturm: yes, but you're better off with a separate /boot, (and a initramfs on it, which understands lvm)
[09:01] <un_operateur> Riyonuk, it means you need to run that command as sudo
[09:01] <chrissturm> un_operateur: i know, thats why i want to use it
[09:01] <Aardwolf> what does THAT mean? It sure is available for my hardware, being a normal computer
[09:01] <un_operateur> Riyonuk, or close down other package-managers
[09:01] <kbrooks__> Aardwolf, define normal.
[09:02] <chrissturm> is there a howto for installing into lvm via debootstrap?

[09:02] <dtek> S3 ProSavageDDR Not working with Dapper. HELP
[09:02] <nolimitsoya> Aardwolf, do you have the right repos?
[09:02] <kbrooks__> Aardwolf, also, there are 2 popular "hardware platforms", AFAIK. x86, x86-64
[09:02] <metroman> Could someone tell me how VMware player works/
[09:02] <un_operateur> chrissturm, nope -- debootstrap works within another installation and doesnt have much control about that kind of hardware
[09:02] <pike_> Toulouse: dont know if someone has answered this yet but commands like /server /join /msg  /server quakenetwhatever  should connect then /join channelname
[09:03] <stefg> wims: hardware/driver-problem.
[09:03] <Aardwolf> I'm not sure if I have the right repos, if possible I'd like "all" repos, or at least the repos that contain common programs like "xmms". How can I set such repos?
[09:03] <kbrooks__> metroman, well, you load a virtual machine into it, and it runs it.
[09:03] <Toulouse> pike: thanks
[09:03] <chrissturm> un_operateur: i dont have hardware access to the server, i need to install via debootstrap
[09:03] <GhoSt_DoG> i nedd help
[09:03] <kbrooks__> metroman, by way of some technology called virtualization.
[09:03] <GhoSt_DoG> obductor@obductor:~$ wine FlashFXP

[09:03] <un_operateur> Aardwolf, maybe this helps -- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sources.list
[09:03] <kbrooks__> GhoSt_DoG, stop repeating. we will help you.
[09:03] <GhoSt_DoG> ok ok
[09:04] <chrissturm> is there a benchmark comparing lvm with normal software raid and no raid at all?
[09:04] <un_operateur> GhoSt_DoG, just make sure that file exists ..
[09:04] <kbrooks__> metroman, do you know what virtualization is?
[09:04] <Aardwolf> un_operateur, my version is 5.10, do there exist repos for that version?
[09:04] <un_operateur> chrissturm, think about it -- how does debootstrap work??
[09:04] <chrissturm> actually a raid1 should be twice as fast as a normal harddisk, but i dont think that thats true for software raid 1
[09:04] <kbrooks__> Aardwolf, of course.....
[09:04] <opteek> is it normal for an install of winxp to take 2.5 hours using qemu?
[09:04] <GhoSt_DoG> un_operateur: i think exist
[09:04] <un_operateur> Aardwolf, sure -- I think that is breezy badger no??
[09:04] <Aardwolf> yep, it's breezy
[09:04] <kbrooks__> opteek, yes.
[09:05] <kbrooks__> opteek, its entirely normal.
[09:05] <chrissturm> un_operateur: I can boot into a rescue system in a ramdisk, create the lvm from there, and debootstrap into ubuntu
[09:05] <stefg> chrissturm: don't get into that kind of paranoia... lvm produces a /bit/ of overhead, compared to plain raid0, but that's neglectable on halfway recent hardware
[09:05] <dtek> Any info on S3 ProSavageDDR not working with dapper...? Does anybody knows how to tweak xorg.conf to make it work?? please help
[09:05] <un_operateur> Aardwolf, you'll need to replace each instance of the word edgy there with breezy and it ought to work
[09:05] <opteek> kbrooks__, thanks
[09:05] <chrissturm> stefg: thats what i think too, i'd just see it verified by some benchmark
[09:05] <un_operateur> GhoSt_DoG, please verify not think :)
[09:05] <kbrooks__> opteek, you can use kqemu (a proprietary kernel module which makes things go faster in qemu)
[09:06] <kbrooks__> opteek: but i dont recommend it
[09:06] <stefg> chrissturm: to compare with what? *Your* use-case and *your* hardware is different anyway
[09:06] <opteek> kbrooks__,  why not?
[09:06] <LameBMX> went through it ... nothing applicable to mine .. i got the raid up ... its seen fine and all that .. just no booting it ... any hints for configuring mkinitramfs
[09:06] <opteek> kbrooks__, I tried using kqemu while installing but the installation pagefaulted
[09:06] <GhoSt_DoG> un_operateur: i'm beginner user in Ubuntu.. i don't know verify :-\
[09:06] <LameBMX> or how to swap kernals
[09:07] <kbrooks__> opteek, because it is proprietary!
[09:07] <ashzilla> How can i tell how much memory I have?
[09:07] <nivekz> hello there. my local repository disappears in synpatic, what can i do to get it back?
[09:07] <kbrooks__> opteek, do you know what proprietary means?
[09:07] <ashzilla> I couldn't tell any relevant details from Device Manager
[09:07] <chrissturm> stefg: thats only partly right. If I see a benchmark with 2 sata drives comparing the three options, i think i can get to some conclusions
[09:07] <opteek> kbrooks__,  i read something about an open source equivalent to kqemu
[09:07] <un_operateur> GhoSt_DoG, naviagate to it -- in nautilus -- /home/user/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/
[09:07] <stefg> chrissturm: ok... the
[09:08] <stefg> 'scientific' approach
[09:08] <kbrooks__> opteek, well,  don't use it. it is too alpha.
[09:08] <saxofoner> hey everyone
[09:08] <stefg> google is your friend
[09:08] <ashzilla> How can I tell how much system memory I have?
[09:08] <opteek> kbrooks__, thats what I thought
[09:08] <saxofoner> Anybody here really know their Wacoms?
[09:08] <chrissturm> stefg: I was just asking. i only found quite old benchmarks with google
[09:08] <saxofoner> I need a wacom expert.

[09:08] <un_operateur> chrissturm, personally i think an LVM in RAM is absurd -- why even run an LVM in RAM, it's defeating the point

[09:08] <LinuxHelp> ashzilla, free -m
[09:08] <chrissturm> un_operateur: the lvm doenst run in ram, the rescue system does
[09:09] <un_operateur> GhoSt_DoG, find the file, download it and place it in that directory
[09:09] <kbrooks__> opteek, do you understand what the problem is with kqemu?
[09:09] <opteek> kbrooks__, it's proprietary!!
[09:09] <un_operateur> chrissturm, by rescue system, i suppose you mean the debootstrap chroot, right?
[09:09] <pike_> ashzilla: also look under /proc directory like "cat /proc/meminfo"
[09:09] <chrissturm> stefg: would you recommend lvm for two 160 gig sata drives?
[09:09] <saxofoner> 'ey un_operateur, thanks for your help the other day.
[09:09] <kbrooks__> opteek: that isn't complete understanding. yes, it's proprietary...
[09:09] <un_operateur> saxofoner, errm, what was i helping with? i forget :)
[09:09] <cmt^^> Anyone has any experience using a Palm Tungsten T on Ubuntu? I've tried to install pilot-link but I get this error when running "make": http://pastebin.se/5299
[09:10] <ashzilla> LinuxHelp: Thanks
[09:10] <chrissturm> un_operateur: by rescue system i mean the system i boot into, from which i create the lvm and debootstrap into it
[09:10] <ashzilla> pike_: that's very useful as well, thanks
[09:10] <stefg> chrissturm: i get that mood twice a year (i want to have numbers and figures on performance)... but i find out on a regular basis that i did things right by intuition :-)...  lvm is the default choice on ubuntu for a reason
[09:10] <kbrooks__> opteek, but it means that if, say, you wanted kqemu to be fast, you couldn't do it, or hire someone else to do it for you.
[09:10] <chrissturm> stefg: is it, didnt know that
[09:10] <un_operateur> chrissturm, but wait, didnt you want to run the / filesystem on an LVM??
[09:11] <chrissturm> un_operateur: yep
[09:11] <saxofoner> un_operateur:   I was the guy whose whole distro got completely ruined because it tried to upgrade itself while upgrading...  It all worked out.
[09:11] <stefg> chrissturm: lvm2, of course... not the old one
[09:11] <kbrooks__> opteek, or, if you wanted to promote kqemu by bundling it, you couldn't do it without asking.
[09:11] <leonel>  if there will  be an firefox2 update for  edgy
[09:11] <un_operateur> chrissturm, well, the / system has to be LVMed before the system can boot .. incase you forget :)
[09:12] <un_operateur> saxofoner, ohh yea, didnt you reinstall ubuntu too? :)
[09:12] <cge> leonel: Updates for released version are generally only security updates. If the update in question is not a security update, then you should look into Ubuntu Backports.
[09:12] <dtek> tek
[09:12] <saxofoner> un_operateur:  yep.
[09:12] <saxofoner> Haha
[09:12] <saxofoner> Now I'm just trying to get a tablet working.
[09:12] <dtek>  Any info on S3 ProSavageDDR not working with dapper...? Does anybody knows how to tweak xorg.conf
[09:13] <saxofoner> I have dual monitors, and I want it on only one of them.  there doesn't seem to be any tablet mapping software available
[09:13] <leonel> cge:  it is a  security update  that's my concern
[09:13] <un_operateur> saxofoner, ahh, remember if you are successful, you should contribute the the wiki so it helps other people :) ;)
[09:13] <cge> leonel: Then it will be in edgy, yes.
[09:13] <leonel> cge:  it's a week now , I'll wait  thanks
[09:13] <saxofoner> un_operateur:  sure thing!
[09:14] <cge> leonel: Hmm... which update is it?
[09:14] <un_operateur> anyway, bbl .. dinner time :)
[09:14] <saxofoner> Keyword:  "if" I am successful
[09:14] <kyncani> dtek: i don't know about this particular card, but maybe mode up to date software would handle it well, you may try edgy ?
[09:14] <bean-oh> what is the name of the next ubuntu version in the works? i saw an article about it, and now i can't find it again.

[09:15] <bean-oh> cge: how's it run?
[09:15] <saxofoner> !all your base belonging to me
[09:15] <opteek> kbrooks__, are there comparative open source alternatives to qemu?
[09:15] <Aardwolf> allright I now have a huuuuge amount of repos in sources.list and it seems I'm able to install things now :)
[09:15] <cge> bean-oh: Rather well, though there isn't much that is different right now.
[09:15] <opteek> kbrooks__,  for running xp
[09:15] <kbrooks__> opteek, not really.

[09:15] <ubotu> bochs: IA-32 PC emulator. In component universe, is extra. Version 2.2.6-2 (edgy), package size 635 kB, installed size 2060 kB
[09:16] <cge> Aardwolf: No!!!
[09:16] <Aardwolf> ?
[09:16] <chrissturm> stefg: i have a howto here that creates a raid1 first with mdadm, and then creates a lvm on top of it. does that make sense or can i just create the lvm on the raw devices and let lvm handle the raid
[09:16] <chrissturm> ?
[09:16] <cge> Aardwolf: You aren't using Trevino's list, are you?
[09:16] <opteek> kbrooks__,  ok, can I expect a significant performance increase if I add, say a gig of ram ( i am using 128 for the VM currently)
[09:16] <Aardwolf> let me see if it's in there
[09:16] <OmniD> windows isn't ready for the desktop
[09:16] <OmniD> I can't get my sound to work at all
[09:17] <kbrooks__> OmniD, linux isn't either.
[09:17] <cge> opteek: qemu isn't open source any more?
[09:17] <OmniD> I doubt that
[09:17] <cge> Aardwolf: I mean, where did you get this giant sources.list?
[09:17] <OmniD> Sound worked right away in Linux kbrooks__
[09:17] <kbrooks__> cge: it is open source.
[09:17] <stefg> chrissturm:  i don't /know/ , but would /intuitively/ try the raw device approach first ... KISS, ya'know
[09:17] <opteek> cge, it is
[09:17] <dtek> kyncani: already tried Edgy same result
[09:17] <cge> opteek: Oh, I see, you just wanted another open source version.
[09:17] <opteek> cge, right
[09:17] <kbrooks__> OmniD, other issues make linux not ready for the desktop.
[09:18] <Aardwolf> cge, Trevino isn't in there. It's not that huge maybe :) It's all the ones from the ubuntu wiki, and all the ones that were in there after installation uncommented
[09:18] <OmniD> I dunnoooo
[09:18] <Paulius_> Is there a tutorial on installing a Firewire external HDD?
[09:18] <cge> Aardwolf: Oh.
[09:18] <OmniD> Works fine for me, it just lacks some software I need :3
[09:18] <kbrooks__> OmniD, both windows and linux have package manager fragmentation. windows has NO PACKAGE MANAGER AT ALL
[09:18] <Paulius_> I just got myself an external drive and I want to install it on my Ubuntu box.
[09:18] <stefg> Paulius_: isn't it autodetected on plugin?
[09:18] <kbrooks__> OmniD, etc.
[09:18] <saxofoner> Anybody use xfree?
[09:18] <cge> Aardwolf: That is safe. There are some shockingly long lists floating around on the internet that aren't.
[09:18] <Paulius_> stefg: Well, I'm using the Ubuntu Server which is non-graphical.

[09:23] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use.

[09:37] <Riyonuk> Has anyone installed Warsow?
[09:37] <jacked> BigToe: doubleclick
[09:37] <Genius314> wow there's a lot of people here
[09:38] <BigToe> oh
[09:38] <BigToe> good point
[09:38] <eitan> deepsa, I dunno then, since Ive tried both of my sd cards and neither work
[09:38] <Genius314> anyone know how to use creox?
[09:38] <eitan> they are 1 gb and 2 gb
[09:38] <gaten> With ubuntu server, is there a way to provide RDP and Xserver access without a video card on the server computer?
[09:38] <chrissturm> Yodude: chnange the servers in /etc/apt/sources.list, and then repeat the command (apt-get or whatever you were doing)
[09:38] <deepsa> one icon gets created on desktop eitan
[09:38] <chrissturm> Yodude: and do an apt-get update after changing the file
[09:38] <eitan> nothing is showing up on the desktop
[09:38] <Yodude> lol i don't understand
[09:38] <ubuntunewbie> i guess un_operateur  is away
[09:38] <Riyonuk> Because I wish to know how to install warsow..
[09:38] <Yodude> talk easyu man
[09:38] <eitan> like it does if i put a cd in
[09:39] <signalvsnoise> BigToe: dpkg -i "name.deb"  is the actual command, if you're curious
[09:39] <Yodude> i don't use commands much
[09:39] <BigToe> ok signalvsnoise thanks
[09:39] <stefg> Yodude: you do, but you don't know :-)
[09:39] <bean-oh> gaten- i haven't done it with ubuntu, but it works just fine "headless" with redhat and suse.
[09:39] <daedra> eitan: hey maybe its your cardreader that hasn't been recognised
[09:40] <Yodude> lol please tell me in easy talk how to resume with a different mirror
[09:40] <daedra> eitan: and not just the cards
[09:40] <Scuzz> anyone know where the script is to change movie player to realplayer to play my streams in mozilla?
[09:40] <gaten> bean-oh, ok thank you. do you know of any docs offhand that deal with the issue?
[09:40] <bean-oh> gaten, however, not rdp, just xserver
[09:40] <deepsa> eitan: some info http://mail.kdewebdev.org/pipermail/linuxr3000/2006-August/000285.html
[09:40] <eitan> if i use my usb card reader with the sd cards, then ubuntu recognizes everything, but if i stick the card into the slot in the computer, nothing happens
[09:40] <Genius314> anyone want to help me configure my desktop resolution?

[09:41] <ubuntunewbie> alsaconf detects sound card... but alsamixer doesnt
[09:41] <Yodude> help please!
[09:41] <deepsa> what happened Yodude
[09:42] <Yodude> ok i started downloading ubuntu
[09:42] <cge> leonel: Actually, that is quite concerning. I'm not sure how it is considered acceptable to claim that Dapper and Edgy are being supported with security updates when they have been vulnerable for that long.
[09:42] <Yodude> in DAP
[09:42] <Yodude> and now i can't connect to the site!
[09:42] <deepsa> Yodude: its bad you using windows
[09:42] <Yodude> i mean is the server down?
[09:42] <Yodude> i know lol
[09:42] <chrissturm> cge: what vulnerability are you talking about?
[09:42] <Yodude> i'm using the Greece server
[09:42] <leonel> cge: yes it is
[09:43] <deepsa> Yodude: the greece server is down for maintainece use torrent link
[09:43] <delta> Hi. I'm using aMule on edgy and it systematically crashes when I close a tab.
[09:43] <Sir_Fawnpug> gaten, I don't know if you have to have a video card for rdp, but I know you can do X11 remotely
[09:43] <Yodude> oh ok
[09:43] <Sir_Fawnpug> Without a video card
[09:43] <Yodude> do you know when it will be up and running again?
[09:43] <cge> chrissturm: Firefox 2.0.0 has multiple Javascript and SVG exploits capable of running arbitrary code as the user.
[09:43] <chrissturm> cge: and those are not fixed?
[09:43] <deepsa> YOdude it will take some time guys there are doing some necessary maintainence job
[09:43] <BigToe> argh
[09:44] <Ashton_Ke> Weee! They weren't kidding, Beryl is so worth the trouble.
[09:44] <BigToe> the solution to this problem
[09:44] <signalvsnoise> Yodude, the torrent is pretty consistently a lot faster
[09:44] <BigToe> was to try and capture a video of it
[09:44] <BigToe> :S
[09:44] <pike_> gaten: delta you can just rm -fr ~/.amule but youll lose any downloads and stuff
[09:44] <Genius314> in my xorg.conf, I have "1280x1024" under the screen section, but it won't show up in System>Preferences>Screen Resolution
[09:44] <Riyonuk> beryl? I keep hearing about it...
[09:44] <pike_> gaten: sorry for that wrong nick
[09:44] <gaten> Sir_Fawnpug:  ok. I think both rdp and xserver use the connecting computers resources, but ill have to google
[09:44] <Yodude> wll my max downbload speed is usually 7Kb per second
[09:44] <Yodude> and i already download 125Mb
[09:44] <deepsa> Yodude lol its too low
[09:44] <gaten> pike_:  np, i was wondering wth you were talking about ;)
[09:44] <Yodude> and trust me i don't want to lose those!
[09:44] <cge> chrissturm: They are fixed in the newest Mozilla released version, and Red Hat released new packages a while ago, but there aren't any fixes for Ubuntu.
[09:44] <Sir_Fawnpug> Riyonuk, it's one of these newfangled 3d desktops
[09:45] <Sir_Fawnpug> I tried to find information on it and kept on typing in Barrel
[09:45] <deepsa> YOdude wait for 4-5 hrs
[09:45] <Yodude> i know i live in Lebanon we don't have that good internet here, waiting for DSL though
[09:45] <daedra> hey I'm nervous to install drivers for my ATi x600 - I don't know what to do and don't want to get stuck with a console :(
[09:45] <Riyonuk> I bet it takes up a lot of memory>
[09:45] <toulouse> hey guys if i have an intel pent. 4 w/hyper threading, is that of the x86 architecture??
[09:45] <deepsa> toulouse: ya
[09:45] <daedra> toulouse: yes
[09:45] <Nontitle> yes
[09:45] <stefg> Genius314: your monitor isn't reporting back via DPMS that he will support that reso.... sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:45] <toulouse> okie dokie
[09:45] <pike_> daedra: just remember sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   that will let you restore everything if there is a problem
[09:45] <blanky> hey guys currently my thing is kdm how can i reconfigure it so it's gdm? sudo something reconfigure kdm?
[09:45] <Sir_Fawnpug> Toulouse, yep, same with Athlon machines too.
[09:45] <blanky> anyone?
[09:45] <daedra> thanks pike_
[09:46] <deepsa> blanky: there is a configuration file for that thing in /etc/X11 i guess
[09:46] <toulouse> ok
[09:46] <Sir_Fawnpug> Well, really the athlon 64 is x86-64 but it can run in x86 mode
[09:46] <opteek> i've installed the w32codecs and can view wmv files in totem, but not in VLC, what needs to be done for VLC to access these codecs?
[09:46] <Yodude> so you think in 4-5 hours the server will work again?
[09:46] <blanky> deepsa: thanks but no, I mean, there's a comman
[09:46] <daedra> got any links as to where I should start installing ATi drivers?
[09:46] <blanky> deepsa: and it lets me simply choose and it fixes it
[09:46] <daedra> proprietry or not, i don't care
[09:46] <stefg> blanky: if you run kde, but gnome as display manager you'll not be able to shutdown or restart your box from KDE....
[09:46] <signalvsnoise> daedra, you should also make a back up of /etc/xorg.conf.  restoring that will almost always fix your problems
[09:46] <blanky> sudo deb-pkg reconfigure kdm or something
[09:46] <delta> pike_, do you mean removing this directory will be enough to fix this bug?
[09:46] <Yodude> why dfoes this happen to me...
[09:46] <deepsa> Yodude: hope so
[09:46] <blanky> stefg: no, I mean, grr
[09:46] <deepsa> Yodude because you are yo dude lol
[09:46] <blanky> is anyone else here, gnomefreak, yeah you
[09:47] <Yodude> lol
[09:47] <deepsa> blanky: ya i use gnome
[09:47] <Yodude> hehe
[09:47] <toulouse> wait im download gentoo linux right, but it says only 54 megabytes? this cant be right
[09:47] <Yodude> hey ur friend said i can resume the download via another mirror
[09:47] <wyld> my keys work in linux
[09:47] <BigToe> more like 54 gigabytes
[09:47] <blanky> deepsa: yeah but, man
[09:47] <deepsa> toulouse: /join #gentoo for more help
[09:47] <wyld> i mean windows
[09:47] <pike_> delta: well it would be like running for the first time again.  you config files are all in .amule.. might fix might not
[09:47] <blanky> Guys, what's the debian package reconfigure command?
[09:47] <cge> chrissturm: By comparison, Red Hat had packages out 8 days ago.
[09:47] <Yodude> can i? without losing my *precious* and *hefty* 125Mbs?
[09:47] <signalvsnoise> also, daedra, you should consider which driver you want first.  The proprietary one gives 30-50% better preformance in games but the 3d desktop thing works much better with the opensource drivers,afaik
[09:47] <blanky> man everyone used to tell me it
[09:47] <blanky> now no one knows it
[09:47] <daedra> toulouse: that's a minimal install of gentoo - it comes in stages
[09:47] <Wolfgang> Hello, I have a problem when trying to load the Ubuntu Live CD on one of my XP machines. When I reboot the system I get a message saying "Verifying DMI Data Pool.... Boot from CD:  ISOLINUX 3.11 Debian-2066-03-16 Copyright (c) 1994-2005 isolinux: Disk error 32, AX=4280,drive 9f Boot failed: press a key to retry.
[09:48] <toulouse> oh, i'll ask the gentoo ppl for more info
[09:48] <daedra> signalvsnoise: thanks
[09:48] <Wolfgang> Someone please IM if they got an answer
[09:48] <deepsa> Wolfgang: sorry to say but your cd is corrupt
[09:48] <stefg> toulouse: that's right :-) but wait until you emerge the first packages :-)... do you need you box*this year* to be usable , har,har?
[09:48] <Wolfgang> Really? It works on my other pc
[09:48] <wyld> wolfgan: you probobly have a coaster
[09:48] <cge> daedra: What card are you using, specifically.
[09:48] <extern> why when I set vlc media player to fullscreen, it only maximizes? other players fullscreen mode is working properly
[09:48] <delta> pike_, it's a known bug, isn't it? I'm a bit surprised it isn't fixed in edgy. It seems to be down to wxwidgets.
[09:48] <Yodude> can i?
[09:48] <cge> ?
[09:48] <daedra> this year lol
[09:48] <deepsa> Yodude: ask that dude about that
[09:48] <pike_> toulouse: imo gentoo and ubuntu channels are some of the friendliest on freenode
[09:49] <Yodude> k
[09:49] <wyld> wolfgang: at what speed did you burn your disk?
[09:49] <daedra> cge: I am using ATi x600 PCI-E
[09:49] <RSL> Isn't there some kind of benefit to putting my swap partition on a separate hard drive?
[09:49] <Wolfgang> I think the highest was like 6x maybe
[09:49] <daedra> cge: Radeon
[09:49] <signalvsnoise> daedra, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Installation_Guide
[09:49] <Wolfgang> possibly 8x
[09:49] <toulouse> cool
[09:49] <Genius314> I have my xorg.conf set so that my monitor will have a higher resolution, but I can't set my monitor any higher than 1024x768 for some reason.
[09:49] <Wolfgang> Which is odd
[09:49] <deepsa> RSL: no benefit
[09:49] <wyld> wolfgang: do it on the lowest setting
[09:49] <stefg> RSL.... yes. because there's not one det of heads moving, but two...
[09:49] <delta> Genius314, nvidia?
[09:49] <cge> daedra: Oh, so you certainly want the ATI drivers then unless you care about the licence issues.
[09:49] <Wolfgang> 6x is too much?
[09:49] <wyld> wolfgang: yes
[09:50] <wims> !lamp
[09:50] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[09:50] <Yodude> Yodude: chnange the servers in /etc/apt/sources.list, and then repeat the command (apt-get or whatever you were doing)
[09:50] <Yodude> that's what he told me
[09:50] <daedra> cge: Proprietry then?
[09:50] <deepsa> Wolfgang: i usually burn at 1x
[09:50] <wyld> wolfgang: i'd say about 2x is good
[09:50] <Wolfgang> 4x better?, 2X?
[09:50] <Yodude> and do an apt-get update after changing the file
[09:50] <Wolfgang> ok then.
[09:50] <deepsa> Yodude try torrent its the best hope you get the download in 12 days or so
[09:50] <Genius314> The card is ATI, and the monitor is Mag Innovision
[09:50] <cge> daedra: Yes
[09:50] <Wolfgang> I'll come back here if any problems arise again thanks!
[09:50] <wyld> wolfgang: the more important the data, the slower you should burn it
[09:50] <Yodude> lol with DAP i was hoping 3days
[09:50] <RSL> stefg, Should I try to put it at the beginning or end of the drive? [I'm putting a partition for the Windows page file on the beginning, so I'd put it on the end I guess if that matters] .
[09:50] <opteek> i've installed the w32codecs and can view wmv files in totem, but not in VLC, what needs to be done for VLC to access these codecs?
[09:50] <Riyonuk> Anyone know of some fun multiplayer games?
[09:50] <Riyonuk> Im currently trying Wormux, kinda weird
[09:50] <delta> Genius314, sorry, can't help then :-(
[09:50] <Yodude> i can manage to get like 100-150Mbs a day
[09:51] <Yodude> just not with servers down lol
[09:51] <Genius314> Delta: Ok
[09:51] <deepsa> Yodude: its okay go sleep now
[09:51] <toulouse> how would i burn an iso to a cd? (using ubuntu?)
[09:51] <wyld> drag and drop
[09:51] <wy> why isn't there a plugin for the acrobat reader in the ubuntu package for acroread?
[09:51] <toulouse> really?
[09:51] <deepsa> toulouse: k3b
[09:51] <trev_> can anyone tell me what command to put into alacarte to run a shell script file?
[09:51] <cge> wy: I wasn't aware that anyone actually wanted to use that plugin.
[09:52] <wy> cge: I'm used to use it in firefox
[09:52] <pike_> Riyonuk: http://tremulous.info very cool fps
[09:52] <toulouse> if i do that on a cd-RW with music that is already on it, do you think it will work
[09:52] <tito_linux> I am about to switch to Ubuntu from Suse. I was wondering if in Ubuntu you get the situation where if you install the 64 bit edition you get difficult multimedia support?
[09:52] <stefg> RSL: 'beginning' and 'end' are not so fixed terms on modern harddrives... generally newer harddrives are more dependant on seek time than on transfer rate, so putting swap in the middle of a drive would be best, if it's practical by any means... but, to be honest: it doesn't matter no more :-)
[09:53] <RSL> stefg, thanks!
[09:53] <signalvsnoise> cge- I haven't updated my drivers in a week or two, but I have to say that using the proprietary drivers on my radeon xpress has made me very jealous of people who can use the open source ones in terms of beryl/compiz stability versus aiglx stability
[09:53] <accept> I need some hep with a infrared port on my HP Laptop. I need to use it with my cell phone, to transfer data. How can I do this?
[09:53] <Genius314> Ok, how do I get two monitors to work with two separate ATI cards?
[09:53] <wims> tito_linux,  yes, i had a few problems last time i tried. But thats 6 months ago
[09:53] <pike_> tito_linux: alot of people were having to chroot to a 32 bit / id say it has improved but probably not greatly

[09:55] <deepsa> toulouse: what is full form of BOSS
[09:55] <toulouse> wha?
[09:56] <toulouse> never heard of that
[09:56] <Riyonuk> ok
[09:56] <Riyonuk> pike_, so what do I download :p
[09:56] <deepsa> toulouse: see pm
[09:56] <accept> Can someone help?
[09:56] <deepsa> accept: why not i am here to help
[09:56] <jacked> where might I find information on using midi controllers with ubuntu?
[09:56] <deepsa> daedra: ?? what happened you came and go
[09:57] <pike_> Riyonuk: goto http://tremulous.info  then download--officialfiles--whatever mirror  its a foo.run file
[09:57] <daedra> deepsa: haha I just clicked on the channel accidentally
[09:57] <toulouse> hey how do i use bittorent in ubuntu
[09:57] <deepsa> daedra: lol
[09:57] <deepsa> toulouse: did you saw pm
[09:57] <toulouse> when i download a "torrent"(i guess that's what it is) it just downloads a tiny file
[09:57] <Genius314> I have my X server configured for a 1280x1024 resolution, but I don't know how to actually make my resolution that size.
[09:57] <daedra> toulouse: theres something inlcuded in ubuntu called gtorrent
[09:57] <opteek> toulouse, azureus
[09:57] <toulouse> deepsa: yes
[09:57] <stefg> jacked: what interface?... there's quite some stuff supported by the kernel
[09:58] <deepsa> toulouse: lol
[09:58] <pike_> toulouse: recommend ktorrent even in gnome..
[09:58] <toulouse> ok, azureus, will that allow me to get linux iso's faster?
[09:58] <deepsa> toulouse: ya
[09:58] <toulouse> or download them
[09:58] <opteek> toulouse, the speed depends on the torrent itself, how many seeders/leechers it has
[09:58] <lynucs> hey anyone knows how to convert a MOV-file into avi or mpeg??
[09:58] <lynucs> trying it the whole day today
[09:58] <toulouse> hmm. ok
[09:58] <deepsa> lynucs: possible
[09:59] <lynucs> with which prog??
[09:59] <arrenlex> lynucs: Use mencoder.
[09:59] <stefg> lynucs: look at vlc
[09:59] <tito_linux> Is it possible to install in text-only mode?

[09:59] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[09:59] <signalvsnoise> does anyone know a good tool for making your own system recovery cd?
[09:59] <lynucs> vlc can play that files, but can it encode??
[09:59] <deepsa> lynucs: ya if its installed
[09:59] <jacked> stefg: this is a starting point for me. I am hoping to use a full keyboard as the controller and to my macbook (running ubuntu of course) through an external sound card.
[09:59] <tito_linux> Can I still use GNOME with that CD afterwards?   I've just noticed that in edgy I can change the root password without giving a root password first.  Is this a feature or a bug?
[10:02] <deepsa> xphree_: /join #mysql
[10:02] <toulouse> hey someperson, just settle for Damn small embedded
[10:02] <lynucs> do you know wether your network card is recognized
[10:02] <xphree_> but... is a bug only with ubuntu edgy package
[10:02] <xphree_> not mysql
[10:02] <deepsa> tonquin: its feature
[10:02] <Some_Person> what?
[10:02] <stefg> !root | tonquin
[10:02] <wims> where do i get mysql_config ?
[10:02] <sbcl3> is there a utility that can convert pdf into text?
[10:02] <ubotu> tonquin: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.

[10:02] <CHSober> hey, is there any way to install from the ubuntu cd without having to boot into live mode first? thanks
[10:03] <lynucs> Some_Person: did you try sudo dhclient?
[10:03] <flyinghippo> Not that I know of.
[10:03] <Some_Person> yes
[10:03] <stefg> jacked: got that... but it's still apple hardware (this means closed source drivers)
[10:03] <deepsa> CHSober: ya there is use knoppix

[10:03] <Some_Person> yes

[10:04] <habesha> I am on an XP machine now and want to use Rsa encrypted authentication for SSH through PuTTY, I have imported my  id_rsa.pub key from my ubuntu machine using scp but Putty complains when I try to use this file as a public key
[10:04] <pike_> Riyonuk: one sec
[10:04] <CHSober> hmm, ok, I already tried the server edition, but as you said, it was very minimal. thanks for the help!
[10:04] <lynucs> Some_Person: does dhclient says soemthing with dhcpnak?
[10:04] <Some_Person> no
[10:04] <snowflake> This is all about questions, right? O__O

[10:04] <saxofoner> guys, I just did something really stupid w/ my xorg.conf, and fixed it
[10:04] <stefg> jacked: but google should turn up information wether it's possible to get midi working on it... i mean MIDI is a simple 8-bit protocol from the early 80's... shouldn't be too hard
[10:04] <blanky> I asked already but I was gone, sorry. What's the command to reconfigure a debian package?
[10:04] <habesha> HOw can I do this in Putty and what options should I use?
[10:05] <flyinghippo> Wheee, I just installed Ubuntu.  <3
[10:05] <signalvsnoise> Some_Person: what provider are you using?
[10:05] <snowflake> So funny, no one is reading what I type
[10:05] <blanky> sudo deb-pkg reconfigure something?
[10:05] <saxofoner> flyinghippo: Yayy!
[10:05] <Some_Person> AT&T Yahoo
[10:05] <lynucs> Some_Person: so dhclient says nothing??

[10:05] <frotzed> Hello all
[10:05] <toulouse> hey guys, i want ot use azureus, but what do i do?
[10:05] <toulouse> i want to download a linux distro quicker
[10:06] <mike> toulouse, download, install, run, that's it
[10:06] <Some_Person> no dhcpopen or something
[10:06] <semicide> ok...the touchpad is so sensitive that i can't make use of it...i'm constantly selecting things i don't intend merely trying to move the pointer
[10:06] <Genius314> Does anyone know how to configure a Wacom tablet?
[10:06] <toulouse> well, it's running, but what do i do from there?
[10:06] <blanky> :(
[10:06] <Riyonuk> pike_, 404 not found
[10:06] <semicide> how does one configure the touchpad?
[10:06] <lynucs> Some_Person: maybe no dhcpoffer?
[10:06] <opteek> Riyonuk, google is working fine for me
[10:06] <saxofoner> semicide look in xorg.conf
[10:06] <Some_Person> thats it
[10:06] <pike_> Riyonuk: type    dig ubuntu.com
[10:06] <mike> go to btjunkie.org and search for a torrent.  Save the torrent file to disk.  Then load the torrent file into Azureus.  The rest points out itself.
[10:06] <pike_> does it give you an ipaddress?
[10:06] <saxofoner> try to find something about threshold, semicide
[10:07] <lynucs> ok, do you have dhcp on your router activated??
[10:07] <opteek> Riyonuk, There was a major earthquake this morning that damaged several transcontinental communication cables
[10:07] <frotzed> I have downloaded the liveCD and it says to boot from this CD to run Ubuntu.  I insert the disk into my CD drive, restart the computer and it automatically boots Windows.
[10:07] <Some_Person> dont know
[10:07] <frotzed> What's the deal?
[10:07] <lynucs> Some_Person: or using a static ip under windows?
[10:07] <Some_Person> no
[10:07] <stefg> lynucs: don't waste your keystroke... Soe_Person has already tried the obvious things... it seems that his router/modem uisn't able to lease a dhcp -IP to a linux box
[10:07] <Genius314> Frotzed: go into your BIOS
[10:07] <semicide> thanks saxofoner...
[10:07] <frotzed> I did that, changed the boot drive order so the CD drive is first.
[10:07] <Genius314> Frotzed: ok then I don't know
[10:08] <lynucs> stefg: so maybe he hasnt dhcp runing on his router?
[10:08] <mike> frotzed: your bios probably doesn't first boot from cd.  Enter bios and change the boot order.
[10:08] <frotzed> I'll double check.
[10:08] <saxofoner> semicide:  Probably won't help, I'm not exactly a pro, but that's where I would first look
[10:08] <lynucs> Some_Person: which router do you have
[10:08] <pike_> Riyonuk: anyway once you get the file type "bash tremulousinstaller.run" and install to your home directory i usually make a ~/games or ~/local folder in home to install to
[10:08] <frotzed> thanks.
[10:08] <stefg> lynucs: as his windows install shows, it has some sort of dhcpd running... but nothing dhclient likes to digest
[10:08] <flyinghippo> So... is it possible to edit a list of resolutions?
[10:08] <metguru> hey guys, can someone help me install an RPM?
[10:08] <mike> often people don't burn the cd right.  Often people end up with a cd with a single iso file on it.  That's not how you make a cd.
[10:09] <flyinghippo> Screen resolutions, tyhat is.
[10:09] <flyinghippo> *that
[10:09] <CHSober> does anyone know what the exact system requirements are for ubuntu (i.e. processor spec, ramm etc?) just wondering if I should be using xubuntu instead (I've got an old low end machine which I want to try linux on) as ubuntu takes absolutley ages to boot
[10:09] <Ropor> -
[10:09] <Ropor> SElam
[10:09] <Genius314> flyinghippo: are you trying to get a different resolution then the 3 (?) listed?
[10:09] <mike> The iso itself is a filesystem, and the burning software will need to be told to burn using an iso file.
[10:09] <metguru> When I do extract it doesn't seem to work
[10:09] <flyinghippo> There is only one listed, Genius314.
[10:09] <saxofoner> CHSober:   Nah, but Xubuntu is a lot faster on oldie
[10:09] <snowflake> How can I switch back to Windows? =(
[10:09] <jacked> stefg: thanks.  Well mine shows 3, but I need to edit the list, also.

[10:10] <lynucs> Some_Person: could you run "cmd" under windows and type "ipconfig /all" and then pastebin it?
[10:10] <flyinghippo> Genius314: Do you know where I can find the list?
[10:10] <metguru> hey guys, can someone help me install an RPM? When I do extract it doesn't seem to work...
[10:10] <snowflake> Was that a joke?....
[10:10] <mike> "extract an rpm" ?
[10:10] <Genius314> flyinghippo: not really
[10:10] <gnomefreak> metguru: ubuntu doesnt use RPM we use debs
[10:10] <kingace> i just installed a UATA hard drive into my existing computer. the existing sata driver is set at "cable select" rather than master\slave and so i did the same with the uata, and in the bios the primary hdd is the existing sata that ubuntu is installed on. however, when I boot now, I get some messages about logical blocks and then the screen goes completely black and nothing happens. help?
[10:10] <mike> Under a Redhat flavoured system, you'd install using 'rpm -i something.rpm'
[10:11] <snowflake> I don't understand any of these computer people. -__-
[10:11] <mike> But under Ubuntu you use pkg's.  It's debian based
[10:11] <toulouse> azureus doesnt want to do anything
[10:11] <metguru> gnomefreak: aagh
[10:11] <snowflake> Huh?  Were you talking to me?
[10:11] <mike> apt-get install name  - downloads and install 'name' automatically
[10:11] <metguru> gnomefreak: then how do i install it?
[10:11] <Genius314> flyinghippo: type "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" into terminal, and go to the section labled "screen"
[10:11] <flyinghippo> Thanks.
[10:11] <gnomefreak> metguru: what app are you tring to install?
[10:11] <snowflake> WHAT THE
[10:11] <stefg> jacked: i gave up sound-enginneering 10 yrs. ago :-)... but jono bacon (ubuntu-community manager) is taking part in jokosher (sort of Emagic Logic for Linux).... he might employ you as a beta tester on mac hardware :-)
[10:11] <metguru> gnomefreak: Limewire
[10:11] <snowflake> I'm sorry O__O
[10:11] <gnomefreak> !limewire
[10:11] <ubotu> limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative.
[10:11] <mike> can you load the file with the .torrent extension into azureus?
[10:12] <metguru> gnomefreak: is that not a possiblity
[10:12] <gnomefreak> metguru: read that link
[10:12] <metguru> gnomefreak:ok, thanks

[10:12] <ubotu> frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[10:12] <Genius314> flyinghippo: it should list some resolutions. Just be careful about editing it.
[10:12] <mike> azureus works a kabillion times better than limewire or any other gnutella based network.  also has way way way more content.
[10:12] <daedra> i think theres an off-topic channel
[10:12] <snowflake> But how about MY question?

[10:13] <BigToe> I just lost the game
[10:13] <tuxub> has anyone managed to run flumotion on edgy?
[10:13] <mike> does the .torrent file load ?
[10:13] <snowflake> Erm...how do I go to another channel then?  What is this thing?  O__O
[10:13] <BigToe> metguru, yes
[10:13] <BigToe> you'll barely notice a difference
[10:13] <Genius314> So does anyone want to help me? I need to change my screen resolution to 1280x1024.
[10:13] <BigToe> they look almost identical :S
[10:14] <metguru> BigToe: then i should probably try that
[10:14] <XChrisCX> I need some help with the w32codecs. I have tried all the command line installs.
[10:14] <toulouse> mike: it downloads a .torrent file to my desktop, then when i open with bittorent, it just sits there
[10:14] <tuxub> the flumotion-admin hangs on login
[10:14] <Some_Person> has anyone managed to get a siemens dsl modem working?
[10:14] <jacked> stefg: that's interesting. I'm definitely Ubuntu-dependant (and have been for a while) and most certainly have a strong will to get this running. If you're half serious about this, perhaps you could point me in the right direction to explore.
[10:14] <XChrisCX> Nothing works.
[10:14] <pike_> azureus is very nice but a memory hog

[10:15] <lynucs> hold on a sec
[10:16] <mike> that's because ps will show you the memory including all the shared libraries.
[10:16] <pike_> mike: well i dont have the greatest comp but if i used xp id be on utorrent in linux i use ktorrent
[10:16] <mike> also, use java 1.6, which runs faster.
[10:16] <mike> azureus uses java...

[10:21] <Some_Person> i tried to give ubuntu the ip <IP_ADDRESS>, and i couldn't ping my router
[10:21] <stefg> mike: but this a known fact for 10 yeras now...
[10:21] <RxDx> XXChrisCXX, is it true, ill get problems?
[10:21] <dmc__> Some_Person: your router is at 192.168.0.* no 192.168.1.*
[10:21] <lynucs> was the ip really changing? did you check it with ifconfig then?
[10:21] <Some_Person> correct
[10:21] <XXChrisCXX> I have been to that page and followed all the instructions. To no avail.

[10:22] <dmc__> Some_Person: so try to give ur manual ip in the 192.168.0.* range
[10:22] <gnomefreak> XXChrisCXX: than you dont have multiverse and universe repos enabled
[10:22] <Genius314> mike: That's probably my problem... I have two ATI cards in this computer
[10:22] <geekender> Weird sound issue, question from friend:  I booted it today and found the usual sound problem, so I'll stick
[10:22] <geekender> with Breezy until . . .    One other datapoint:  I booted Gnoppix and
[10:22] <geekender> had good sound.
[10:22] <geekender>     The "bad sound" isn't a matter of having no sound but rather the
[10:22] <geekender> sound is played very, very slowly.  The normal Ubuntu boot sound of just
[10:22] <geekender> a few drum beats lasts for many minutes, maybe an hour.  When I got the
[10:22] <geekender> system to start to play a .wav file, the elapsed-time display took 20
[10:22] <geekender> minutes to increment one second -- I kid you not, I timed it.  Other
[10:22] <geekender> times a one second increment would take maybe 5 seconds.  At first I
[10:22] <gnomefreak> geekender: stop pasting
[10:22] <geekender> thought the system had no sound, but what it has is really slow sound --
[10:22] <opteek> wtf
[10:22] <lynucs> Some_Person: dmc just said what i would say
[10:22] <chrissturm> is there an easy way to create a fstab from the partitions i have currently mounted?
[10:22] <Some_Person> like <IP_ADDRESS>?
[10:22] <LjL> Ubotu, tell geekender about paste | geekender, see the private message from Ubotu
[10:22] <XXChrisCXX> Ok thanks. And how do I go about that? Cheers.
[10:22] <lynucs> Some_Person: exactly
[10:22] <dmc__> Some_Person: ya
[10:22] <Genius314> mike: Well I'm pretty neutral about ATI, but it's been giving me problems lately
[10:22] <stefg> Some_Person: your router is on the x.x. *0*. x -subnet... so try again with <IP_ADDRESS>, as i'm suggesting you for 3h now
[10:22] <Some_Person> ok

[10:22] <geekender> have problems in a newer version -- but then I've no idea what sort of
[10:22] <Some_Person> i tried <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:22] <geekender> changes are made in going from version to version.  Same story with
[10:22] <lynucs> and mybe you could set another dhcp range
[10:22] <geekender> distro to distro.
[10:22] <mike> Genius: step #1, remove ATI cards, step #2, insert NVidia cards, step #3 cross your fingers while you reconfigure, done

[10:23] <opteek> toulouse, an app for downloading files
[10:23] <toulouse> ok
[10:23] <toulouse> hey is ftp a good way to download an iso?
[10:23] <Genius314> mike: no, step #1 is to BUY an nVidia card
[10:23] <gnomefreak> kde version of wget if i had to guess
[10:23] <dharmesh>  how 2 get doom 3 ?
[10:23] <toulouse> cause i cant get bittorent to work, i dont know how
[10:23] <lynucs> set your dhcprange to <IP_ADDRESS> to ~.0.100
[10:23] <opteek> toulouse, acceptable way
[10:23] <Genius314> although I might have a few lying around somewhere
[10:23] <mike> that's ok too, so long as the "remove ATI" is correctly and fully implemented ;-)
[10:23] <toulouse> darn bittorent how do i work it???

[10:24] <LjL> !msg the bot > toulouse
[10:24] <stefg> toulouse: some ISPs throttle or block bittorrent....
[10:24] <gnomefreak> dharmesh: that was answered a while ago. either download the linux demo or buy windows version of it and use the linux installer
[10:24] <opteek> toulouse, you need to make sure you have the proper ports open if you are using a router
[10:24] <linux1> hiya ppl having a problem burning dvd for some reason it soooo slow never about 1.2x  (dma is on) any idea whats up
[10:24] <toulouse> hmm..
[10:24] <toulouse> ok
[10:24] <mike> One could proceed by slowly crushing the ATI card in a bench.  Or place it carefully on an anvil, and beat the f'ing sh#$ out of it using the biggest frigging hammer one could find.
[10:25] <dharmesh> ok thanx........ sorry didnt notice bcoz of flooding
[10:25] <Genius314> mike: lol. But, of course then I won't have any graphics cards at all... But if I took some wires and metal, I could probably make a better-than-ATI video card :-p
[10:25] <metguru> can someone help me? I installed frostwire, and now when i click on the applications->internet->Frostwire nothing happens
[10:25] <pike_> toulouse: what is the problem?
[10:25] <gnomefreak> metguru: edgy?
[10:25] <geekender> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39066/
[10:25] <metguru> gnomefreak: yea
[10:25] <mike> it could theoretically be used as a doorstopper - would probably scratch the floor though.

[10:25] <toulouse> hey, my trash thinks it's empty but it's not
[10:25] <ubuntuuser> what is the command for deleting a dir with stuff in it?
[10:25] <toulouse> any tips?
[10:26] <LjL> ubuntuuser: man rm
[10:26] <gnomefreak> metguru: you need to fix the script to read bin/bash instead of /bin/sh
[10:26] <mike> I wouldn't recommend flushing it down the toilet, unless you follow up with some draino.
[10:26] <habesha> Can someone give me an idea on how to convert a key generated by PuTTY (.ppk) into OpenSSH format using ssh-keygen??
[10:26] <geekender> LjL, the student that I got the error from already tried

[10:26] <Riyonuk> Why is the itnernet so slow? I mean  Xchat is fine, would a re-install of FF fix the problem?

[10:27] <gnomefreak> metguru: you try not to. give me a minute there might be abnother wahy
[10:27] <hmg4> Riyonuk: It may be your DNS servers that are slow.
[10:27] <mike> some internet providers slow you down when they detect peer to peer downloading.
[10:27] <metguru> gnomefreak: ok
[10:27] <Riyonuk> hmg4, how do I fix that?
[10:27] <gnomefreak> metguru: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure bash
