[03:24] <bgh-> at this point i just want to reinstall the specific package
[03:24] <kitche> bgh-: gnome-screensaver maybe?
[03:24] <MasterShrek> xscreensaver
[03:25] <_michael_> that did not open the file. I am still in the terminal is a blank screen
[03:25] <punzada> question, for awhile now in my update manager i've had the same (old at this point) compiz-core update sitting in there, i've tried installing it like 3 times and now since the last compiz upgrade I don't want to install it, it keeps saying when I had that it was installed fine but never leaves my update manager
[03:25] <punzada> any clue to how to get it out of there? it's quite annoying ;/
[03:25] <leo_rockw> _michael_, try sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst if you're using gnome otherwise try sudo kate /boot/grub/menu.lst if you're using kde
[03:26] <TheSkorm> Whats the easiest way to clean all ports in my /usr/ports so I can lower the file size?
[03:26] <_michael_> sorry. I have the file now... I don't realy know what to add
[03:26] <leo_rockw> _michael_, do you know in which partition is vista?
[03:26] <_michael_> i think so
[03:28] <leo_rockw> _michael_, http://www.pro-networks.org/forum/about78184.html
[03:28] <anzo> hey i would like a hand with something if i could>?
[03:29] <Flannel> !ask | anzo
[03:29] <ubotu> anzo: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:29] <anzo> ive got an issue with an external drive - it mounts but its NTFS
[03:29] <anzo> ubotu: so i don't have write adccess
[03:29] <MasterShrek> !ntfs-3g | anzo
[03:29] <ubotu> anzo: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[03:30] <leo_rockw> _michael_, just change sd0/hd0 for the partition you want
[03:30] <leo_rockw> anzo, ubotu is a bot
[03:30] <anzo> MasterShrek: awesome i'll give it a go - will this be ok for a removable external drive also?
[03:30] <MasterShrek> yes anzo
[03:30] <anzo> MasterShrek: wicked
[03:32] <narothepharoh> whats up guys i got a different pc and im trying to boot from cd but it automatically goes to this pre boot thing and wont do anything else ever hear of that?
[03:32] <open-gl> hey guys i download the firmware to my network wireless card and open the terminal
[03:32] <open-gl> step 1 - tar -xjvf bcm4311_firmware.tar.bz2
[03:32] <open-gl> step 2 - sudo mv bcm43xx* /lib/firmware
[03:32] <open-gl> step 3 - sudo modprobe bcm43xx
[03:32] <open-gl> step 4 - gksu gedit /etc/modules
[03:32] <open-gl> step 5 - i typed in the modules file in the bottom "bcm43xx" with out the quotes and cliked save.
[03:32] <open-gl> now what do i do
[03:33] <open-gl> i am trying to get the wireless to work
[03:33] <narothepharoh> whats up guys i got a different pc and im trying to boot from cd but it automatically goes to this pre boot thing and wont do anything else ever hear of that?
[03:33] <open-gl> i have it set on wep also
[03:33] <punzada> anyone off the top of their head know the compizfusion plugin that puts all the current opened windows into a smaller array on one screen?
[03:33] <MasterShrek> open-gl, do you get any output from: iwlist eth scan
[03:33] <bgh-> gar this is taking too much of my time
[03:33] <jscinoz_> general question: what would be the max safe temp in C of a core 2 duo laptop CPU? mines currently running at 73 and it seems a tad high.
[03:34] <bgh-> gnome-screensaver's ./configure file isn't able to make an executable
[03:34] <Ice|Home> punzada:  its the expo
[03:34] <cafuego> Why are you compiling it like that anyway?
[03:34] <bgh-> anyone know a faster more idiot-friendly way to install the latest gnome-screensaver?
[03:34] <punzada> ty
[03:34] <bgh-> cafuego: because i'm an idiot, obviously. :)
[03:34] <open-gl> it says eth       Interface doesn't support scanning.
[03:35] <MasterShrek> open-gl, did u turn it on?
[03:35] <cafuego> bgh-: sudo apt-get install gnome-screensavers
[03:35] <Anthology> hi, is there a cli/text based browser that will display .cgi web pages?
[03:35] <MasterShrek> open-gl, also make sure it appears when you type: ifconfig
[03:35] <bgh-> ahh. i was thinking i needed to use jhbuild or something
[03:35] <kitche> Anthology: all browsers should display .cgi unless the server is not setup correctly
[03:35] <cafuego> bgh-: if you need to compile, build from a source deb using dpkg-buildpackage
[03:35] <Ignominy> now that I've installed ktemperature through the package manager, how do I enable it?
[03:35] <narothepharoh> whats up guys i got a different pc and im trying to boot from cd but it automatically goes to this pre boot thing and wont do anything else ever hear of that?
[03:35] <bgh-> gotcha.
[03:36] <Anthology> kitche, its my router interface thing. it gives me the log in screen but then goes blank...
[03:36] <punzada> Ice|Home, that's not quite it, that sets up all the desktops in an array, i'm looking for the plugin that sets up all the currect opened software in an array on the desktop thats being used
[03:36] <punzada> i've seen it in a few vids, been poking around trying to find it
[03:36] <Ice|Home> punzada:  ah alright, thats.....
[03:37] <slimjimflim> does anyone know how to roll back graphics drivers?
[03:37] <open-gl> MasterSherk - lo and eth has nothing but eth1 does have
[03:37] <slimjimflim> i installed new ones and now i can't `startx`
[03:37] <Ice|Home> punzada:  ...something i don't know.
[03:37] <open-gl> i did iwoncfig
[03:37] <punzada> lol :)
[03:37] <open-gl> iwconfig
[03:37] <punzada> I'll keep looking then
[03:38] <MasterShrek> open-gl, do ifconifg and see if eth1 appears, if it doesnt do this: sudo ifconfig eth1 up
[03:38] <slimjimflim> can anyone help?
[03:38] <didem> hello running edgy and I have to modprobe -r ipw3945 and then modprobe ipw3945 everytime to get wireless to work. How can I automate this??
[03:38] <mluser-home> Is there a way to not use keyring manager for making wireless network connections?
[03:38] <slimjimflim> running feisty
[03:38] <YenSid1> I just started messing around with Linux about a month ago or so through Ubuntu.  It's running pretty smooth but then I started reading up about Debian.  What's really the difference between the two OS's?
[03:38] <geezone> test
[03:38] <open-gl> it says bash: ipconfig: command not found
[03:38] <MasterShrek> slimjimflim, what kind of wireless card is it?
[03:38] <Flannel> mluser-home: because you don't want to type your password?  or what?
[03:38] <Flannel> open-gl: ifconfig
[03:38] <MasterShrek> ifconfig open-gl
[03:38] <MasterShrek> with an 'f'
[03:38] <open-gl> oh ok
[03:39] <MasterShrek> YenSid1, mostly the software that is available
[03:39] <slimjimflim> MasterShrek, wireless card? i'm talking about a graphics card
[03:39] <didem> I tried /etc/module and added ipw3945 but still no luck
[03:39] <MasterShrek> slimjimflim, thats what i meant lol
[03:39] <mluser-home> Flannel: Well.. not exactly, I'd like the computer to join my wifi network without me having to log in to my account, just like it does with a wired network
[03:39] <Ignominy> now that I've installed ktemperature through the package manager, how do I enable it?
[03:39] <open-gl> ok ifconfig has some stuff
[03:39] <mluser-home> Flannel: So I guess the answer to your question is yes.. so I dont have to type the password
[03:39] <slimjimflim> MasterShrek it's a nvidia geforce 4
[03:39] <MasterShrek> open-gl, did it have anything for eth1?
[03:40] <MasterShrek> slimjimflim, what drivers did you install?
[03:40] <open-gl> yes
[03:40] <MasterShrek> open-gl, but iwlist eth1 scan still shows no scan results?
[03:40] <slimjimflim> hang on, i'll look
[03:40] <open-gl> let me recheck
[03:41] <open-gl> it shows
[03:41] <Ikari_Gendo> So what's going on in here?
[03:41] <open-gl> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ iwlist eth1 scan
[03:41] <open-gl> eth1      No scan results
[03:41] <annibis> I just restarted my laptop and apparently some program felt the need to mess up and delete gconf files, so does anybody know how to reconfigure gconf?
[03:41] <MasterShrek> slimjimflim, what i mean is how did you install your drivers? from nvidia's site, through the restricted drivers thing or what?
[03:41] <Anthology> Ikari_Gendo, are you from san antonio?
[03:41] <MasterShrek> open-gl, are you sure your access point is broadcasting?
[03:41] <open-gl> yes i am sure its on
[03:42] <open-gl> i see the blue light on the laptop is on
[03:42] <open-gl> before it was off until i did sudo mv bcm43xx* /lib/firmware
[03:42] <MasterShrek> yea that sounds right open-gl
[03:43] <bgh-> daagh. i just removed and re-installed gnome-screensaver but the bugger's still crashing my system
[03:43] <MasterShrek> but i dont know why it wouldnt be able to see any access points
[03:43] <bgh-> i'm on the verge of giving up
[03:43] <erisco> I tried asking on #vmware but no one is around... I am running vmware-server on ubuntu 7.10. Is it possible to have a virtual machine running windows xp pro to use a real hard disk partition instead of a virtual drive?
[03:44] <gerro> bgh: could consider trying xfce (xubuntu) its like gnome except uses different approach
[03:44] <MasterShrek> erisco, i think so, but i dont know for sure, one thing is that it may make the windows drive unbootable
[03:44] <erisco> MasterShrek, well even if it wasn't bootable that'd be fine. It would still mean easier file sharing between ubuntu and the virtual computer
[03:45] <bgh-> gerro: all i want to do is put something in there to replace the crash i've got going on now
[03:45] <YenSid1> So software is just the difference?
[03:45] <erisco> MasterShrek, any ideas on where I can find out?
[03:45] <erstazi> erisco: MasterShrek is correct, you might have better luck with virtualbox doing that
[03:45] <gerro> MasterShrek: try adding it to blacklist and using ndiswrapper by reading http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/
[03:45] <MasterShrek> erisco, just try it, thats whay i would do
[03:45] <erisco> erstazi, virtualbox is another software package like vmware right?
[03:45] <bgh-> all i want to do with this bloody thing is install MAME, but i need to disable the screensaver and it's giving me a spot of a problem
[03:45] <joules> hey guys i have a question whenever i open a window it keeps showing up under the menu bar .. im running gutsy
[03:45] <erstazi> erisco: yes
[03:45] <erisco> MasterShrek, I would try it but I cannot find any option to allow me to try it :P
[03:45] <MasterShrek> gerro, ?
[03:45] <erisco> erstazi, but it isn't free is it?..
[03:45] <erstazi> yes
[03:45] <erstazi> its free
[03:46] <MasterShrek> erisco, add a hard drive to your vm, and use a physical disk
[03:46] <erstazi> erisco: I believe it is open source GPL
[03:46] <MasterShrek> joules, #ubuntu+1
[03:46] <slimjimflim> MasterShrek it was the legacy linux 32 bit driver
[03:46] <gerro> MasterShrek: what?
[03:46] <erisco> MasterShrek, I just cannot find how to do that =\ I've looked
[03:47] <MasterShrek> slimjimflim, assuming you are using the 32 bit version of ubuntu, use the regular driver, not the legacy
[03:47] <open-gl> i just did sudo iwconfig eth1 essid [network name]  since i know my network name
[03:47] <MasterShrek> erisco, i cant help you, i dont use vmware anymore, it shouldnt be that hard though, ive done it with debian before
[03:47] <slimjimflim> ya, that's what i'd like to do, i just don't know how to switch back from bash, mastershrek
[03:47] <erisco> MasterShrek, maybe you were not using vmware-server
[03:47] <erisco> MasterShrek, there are other packages I believe...
[03:47] <Anthology> ...pinky
[03:47] <MasterShrek> open-gl, ok, next you want to do: sudo iwconfig eth1 key [wep key]
[03:48] <bgh-> thanks guys for the help you tried to offer, i'm calling it a night with this one.
[03:48] <administrator>
[03:48] <bgh-> gar.
[03:48] <erisco> MasterShrek, but if what erstazi suggests with virtualbox is true it would be the better solution... because its open source :P
[03:48] <MasterShrek> yes i was erisco, i remember when it first came out
[03:48] <erisco> MasterShrek, I'll look again
[03:48] <MasterShrek> i use qemu erisco, which i guess is virtualbox, which i shold be trying
[03:49] <open-gl> ok i did it mastersherk
[03:49] <open-gl> whats next
[03:49] <MasterShrek> open-gl, sudo dhclient3 eth1
[03:49] <gerro> MasterShrek: virtualbox is a tweaked up qemu
[03:49] <erstazi> if I remember correctly, VirtualBox is based on gemu
[03:49] <MasterShrek> slimjimflim, wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/100.14.19/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run
[03:50] <gerro> MasterShrek: basically throughing in gui and stuff to add functionality to qemu that is present in vmware and other solutions
[03:50] <MasterShrek> yea thats what ive heard, my qemu runs fine tho, i dont want to mess it up lol
[03:50] <open-gl> MasterShrek, i did it
[03:50] <slimjimflim> ty
[03:50] <erstazi> the "free" version of vmware player is less configurable than virtualbox
[03:50] <MasterShrek> open-gl, did you get an ip address?
[03:50] <open-gl> no
[03:50] <gerro> MasterShrek: and erstazi makes a good point
[03:51] <erisco> MasterShrek, ah I see where it is. You have to set up the virtual machine upon its creation to use a physical disk
[03:51] <MasterShrek> yes erisco
[03:51] <MasterShrek> open-gl, then youll have to probably go for the ndiswrapper approach if its not working with the kernel module
[03:51] <erstazi> erisco: with virtual box, you can add "hard drives"
[03:51] <erstazi> whether real or virtual
[03:51] <MasterShrek> virtualbox in the reops?
[03:51] <MasterShrek> repos*
[03:52] <erstazi> erisco: I would give it a try, at first, I disliked it, but it grew to my liking, its pretty light weight
[03:52] <open-gl> got this
[03:52] <adam__> hi, I'm trying to setup a laptop using fglrx to use only the external monitor, not the one on the laptop.  Any ideas?  I've got 3d acceleration working, and I just need to edit xorg.conf to use the external screen.  thanks :)
[03:52] <open-gl> DHCPACK from <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:52] <open-gl> bound to <IP_ADDRESS> -- renewal in 36445 seconds
[03:52] <erstazi> MasterShrek: yes
[03:52] <doodle77> any idea how to get bcm43xx workin? i got the firmwares, and it claims "bcm43xx: Radio turned off" >.>
[03:52] <erisco> erstazi, does it support drag and drop from linux to windows xp?
[03:52] <MasterShrek> open-gl, then you got an ip address
[03:52] <kitche> doodle77: turn the radio on
[03:52] <doodle77> and there is no radio swithc
[03:52] <doodle77> it's a pc card
[03:52] <erstazi> erisco: mmm not sure on that, but copy and paste from host to guest or guest to host works
[03:52] <MasterShrek> doodle77, what model broadcom
[03:52] <adam__> doodle77, try sudo ifconfig eth1 up      where eth1 is the wireless card
[03:52] <kitche> doodle77: sure there is iwconfig <interface> radio on
[03:52] <yurimxpxman> do any of you know how to fix this error? http://yurimxpxman.dyndns.org/error
[03:53] <open-gl> oh ok
[03:53] <erisco> erstazi, that is one point over vmware-server
[03:53] <doodle77> ah
[03:53] <doodle77> thx
[03:53] <MasterShrek> open-gl, you should be good to go then
[03:53] <kitche> doodle77: you need to use sudo of course
[03:53] <open-gl> ok i am going to take out the wire to see if it works
[03:53] <elektronisch> any way of upgrading my ubuntu install to 7.10 beta?
[03:54] <MasterShrek> elektronisch, gksu "update-manager -c -d"
[03:54] <elektronisch> thanks
[03:54] <erisco> MasterShrek, I still cannot seem to setup the virtual machine =\ it needs to store a file about the disk partitions or something... but no matter where I try to put it vmware says it doesn't have permissions to create the file
[03:55] <erstazi> erisco: actually, its funny that you mention all this, I ssh tunnel so the guest's apache will broadcast on this host, but, I cannot get an open port so it works on the network
[03:55] <YenSid1> How stable is 7.10 beta right now?
[03:55] <didem> hi, my ipw3945 kernel module wont load at startup, so I cant connect unless i do it manually. How can i get this to work?
[03:55] <elektronisch> awesome! ubuntu is an amazing distro.
[03:55] <YenSid1> When I did my first clean install of Feisty, I had 0 problems.  It was pretty cut and dry
[03:56] <nonewmsgs> what is the command to mount an ipod?
[03:56] <elektronisch> been using slackware for 5 years, and this makes my life 20x easier!
[03:56] <MasterShrek> erisco, then you dont have permissions to be using that hard drive, you probably need to add your user to the disk group, and maybe install ntfs-3g also
[03:56] <erstazi> nonewmsgs: mount
[03:56] <adam__> YenSid1, on one computer (this one) it works pretty well, on the other laptop it doesn't work quite as well (Gutsy beta)
[03:56] <jrib> elektronisch: erm, I heard upgrade is unreliable at the moment.  You should ask gutsy questions in #ubuntu+1
[03:56] <MasterShrek> elektronisch, =P i use slack on my server
[03:56] <YenSid1> elektronisch: you didn't like slackware?
[03:56] <erstazi> erisco: definitely use ntfs-3g
[03:56] <nonewmsgs> sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt/sda
[03:56] <nonewmsgs> mount: mount point /mnt/sda does not exist
[03:56] <alcaponage> i need help installing beryl
[03:56] <erisco> MasterShrek, well I can read and write to my NTFS disks fine
[03:56] <alcaponage> can anyone help?
[03:57] <jrib> alcaponage: #ubuntu-effects can help you with that
[03:57] <YenSid1> adam:  I'm using a laptop and it's my only computer right now.  That's why I'm a bit skeptical. lol
[03:57] <jrib> !effects > alcaponage (read the private message from ubotu)
[03:57] <MasterShrek> ok erisco then dont worry about that, add your user to disk group and make sure the group has write access to that partition
[03:57] <erstazi> nonewmsgs: an ipod should automatically mount, mine does.. ls /media/
[03:57] <erisco> erstazi, MasterShrek, I have ntfs-3g already
[03:57] <anzo> Hi, i've got a problem after installing the NTFS=3g support i think - now it wont auto mount and i get an error message when trying to access the external drive http://img460.imageshack.us/img460/3247/screenshotzq6.png
[03:57] <erstazi> erisco: hard to say on that
[03:57] <elektronisch> YenSid1, oh i love slackware.  but on a headless system i just think ubuntu was a lot easier to setup and maintain
[03:57] <adam__> YenSid1, be skeptical :) if it's your only computer I'd wait till it is finalized.
[03:57] <erstazi> erisco: you can always make and ISO image of your windows partition and use that as a vm
[03:58] <nonewmsgs> erisco i have been having trouble with my usb mounting....gparted says it can see a device at /dev/sda1 (although it says unknown file system)
[03:58] <anzo> can this be fixed?
[03:58] <YenSid1> adam: lol, ok.  I can wait a couple more weeks.
[03:58] <YenSid1> elektronisch: Ah....I heard it's one of the hardest distros out there
[03:58] <adam__> YenSid1, I only say that because I'm hacking away at xorg.conf on the other computer, other then that it works OK as far as I can tell
[03:58] <MasterShrek> YenSid1, not at all, slack is pretty easy really, gentoo is the hard one
[03:58] <erisco> MasterShrek, maybe if I just start vmware as root...
[03:59] <erstazi> gentoo is for the complex
[03:59] <fr500_> hi
[03:59] <anzo> http://img460.imageshack.us/img460/3247/screenshotzq6.png
[03:59] <MasterShrek> eriso i wouldnt do that
[03:59] <fr500_> my hard disk is about to die, ill buy another, is there an easy way to move everything from one hd to another?
[03:59] <erisco> MasterShrek, the drive says its owned by root
[03:59] <erstazi> fr500_: tar
[03:59] <MasterShrek> erisco, root:disk isnt it?
[03:59] <erisco> MasterShrek, root:root
[03:59] <erstazi> erisco: I have found that windows partitions are root
[03:59] <erstazi> erisco: at least mine are
[04:00] <fr500_> erstazi: tar?
[04:00] <erstazi> I have 3 computers with dual boot
[04:00] <didem> interfaces
[04:00] <MasterShrek> erisco, then sudo chgrp disk /dev/hdb1  or whatever the partition is
[04:00] <anzo> the NTFS cinfiguration tool seems to be giving me some problems since i inttalled it
[04:00] <usr13>  nonewmsgs: So, what filesystem IS on it?
[04:00] <erisco> erstazi, I have dual boot right now but I dislike it
[04:00] <nonewmsgs> FAT
[04:00] <erstazi> fr500_: yes, the beauty of linux is you can tar your filesystem and copy over to your new computer
[04:00] <MasterShrek> ill be back in a few minutes
[04:00] <d0s> hello
[04:00] <guru> does anyone here remember the problem i was having with alsa sound not working in cedega but oss did?
[04:00] <tcleval> erstazi, that is not all the beauty..
[04:00] <anzo> can someone help me with how this is to be fixed? http://img460.imageshack.us/img460/3247/screenshotzq6.png
[04:01] <usr13> nonewmsgs: FAT16 FAT32 ???
[04:01] <erstazi> tcleval: of course, its one of the beauties
[04:01] <YenSid1> adam: you're right.  I'm still very new to Linux and ubuntu, so if something were to go terribly wrong, I'd be lost
[04:01] <fr500_> erstazi: so i should partition everything like it is now and move the files and voila
[04:01] <coreymanshack> my  Intel Corporation 82801G Audio isn't working right

[04:01] <d0s> ok my ubuntu came with compiz fusion installed but i can't find the settings manager for it thats suppose to be in the system -> preference section..anyone know where i can find it?
[04:01] <nonewmsgs> fat32 afaiik
[04:01] <erstazi> fr500_: I would use ext3 if thats what you are using
[04:01] <cafuego> d0s: Desktop Effects
[04:01] <usr13> nonewmsgs:  So you are unable to mount it?
[04:01] <jrib> anzo: did you try one of the options it suggests in the message?

[04:01] <nonewmsgs> i have used this ipod on this computer numoerous times and it used to automount (but it also usd to read thumb drives)
[04:01] <erisco> erstazi, well MasterShrek just bailed on me so I guess I cannot get this working :P
[04:02] <guru> i'm running on an amd64 system - the reason that alsa sound was not working in cedega is because i did not have the libasound32 (and related) packages installed. just an fyi for anyone else having similar issues (including mplexing sound)

[04:02] <anzo> jrib: i don't know what its suggesting really - should i boot into windows and hope that it fixes it?
[04:02] <erisco> erstazi, I will try virtualbox and see what I can get working with it
[04:02] <mikubuntu> can somebody help me partition this 12 gb drive to install xubuntu?  i am having a grub error 18 problem, and the documentation says to create a small partition to call /boot for grub and the kernel, but it doesn't say to what size
[04:02] <erisco> erstazi, why isn't virtualbox in the repositories though?
[04:02] <erstazi> erisco: well, from my experience, windows partitions are root:root, so that means when you are normal user, its only readable
[04:02] <erstazi> erisco: ... I thought it was...
[04:02] <jrib> anzo: yes, it says "boot into windows and shudown it cleanly" unless it's a removable device
[04:03] <anzo> jrib: it's an external hard drive that may be removed - probably set up as a basic dick

[04:06] <NotSure> here is my format
[04:06] <slimjimflim> mastershrek, the installer still tells me to use the legacy driver, which is what i did last time.  i should just install anyway, right?
[04:07] <NotSure> find -iwholename '*list*' -o -iwholename '*misc|crim*" - prune
[04:07] <NotSure> it does not work
[04:07] <erstazi> erisco: do you need the windows partition (if its running in a vm) to be using what you write to it
[04:08] <NotSure> jrib, any thoughts on that?
[04:08] <erstazi> erisco: what I think you should do is make an ISO of the windows partition and then make it a virtual hard drive
[04:08] <erstazi> erisco: then you will not lose anything on the windows partition
[04:08] <NotSure> i think 'find' uses different syntax than standard regex

The 50GB partition will be NTFS with windows XP pro installed on it. Using ubuntu as my host I want to boot up the ntfs partition and use windows. Additionally I want to be able to restart and boot into windows to use it fully
[04:10] <erisco> erstazi, make sense? is it possible?

[04:19] <Jordan_U> slimjimflim, Go to System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager
[04:19] <NotSure> jrib, i see what you mean, but you see, if there is a directory into which 'find' is not supposed to go, then it will still go there but then pipe the output to grep which will then reject the string
[04:19] <usr13> erstazi: http://www.deckle.co.za/squid-users-guide/Main_Page
[04:20] <jrib> NotSure: what's the difference?
[04:20] <NotSure> jrib, 'find' itself has to know that it is not supposed to go into certain types of subdirectories
[04:20] <aschaetter>   Current Serial #21
[04:20] <Jordan_U> slimjimflim, It is in many ways better than installing from nvidia.com, though the driver is a little older ( never more than 6 months )
[04:20] <slimjimflim> i know that my original driver wasn't restricted, and that the new one is...i'm trying to go back to the old one...and i have no xwindows, so it all has to be command line
[04:20] <NotSure> jrib, if I pipe the output, it will be like double work
[04:20] <erstazi> usr13: what is that?
[04:20] <usr13> proxy info
[04:20] <NotSure> jrib, 'find' goes into subdirectory, reports the file found, but grep then rejects it

[04:22] <scguy318> Ignominy: lm-sensors, and sensors-applet
[04:22] <Ignominy> cool, thanks scguy
[04:22] <erstazi> erisco: I never attached it, but I am sure its possible
[04:22] <scguy318> Ignominy: do sudo sensors-detect to get all your sensors detected, then modprobe all the kernel modules for them
[04:22] <erisco> erstazi, thanks for telling this now -.-
[04:22] <erstazi> erisco: I only have made ISO images of partitions
[04:22] <bmt2> how do you remove a program that was installed NOT using apt-get
[04:22] <scguy318> aschaetter: perhaps its a vid card driver thing
[04:22] <bmt2> say it was a tar.gz, and i used ./configure
[04:22] <erstazi> erisco: I assumed you would read the manual on it first
[04:22] <scguy318> bmt2: from tarball? MAYBE sudo make uninstall
[04:22] <erisco> erstazi, an ISO image is useless for me :(
[04:23] <scguy318> !checkinstall | bmt2
thanks this looks good
[04:23] <ubotu> bmt2: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[04:23] <bmt2> scguy318: thanks...i will try that
[04:23] <jrib> bmt2: you try 'make uninstall' from the directory you ran 'make install', but it may not exist.  So you tell yourself that next time you will use checkinstall so you get a package you can remove
[04:23] <usr13> bmt2: Some have a removal script, some don't.
[04:23] <aschaetter> scguy: vid card driver thing?
[04:23] <Jordan_U> slimjimflim, Yes, the nice thing about Restricted Manager ( which installs nvidia-glx with apt ) is that when your kernel gets updated the GFX driver does also, if you install from nvidia.com you have to deal with X not starting after each kernel upgrade
[04:23] <scguy318> aschaetter: maybe you need to install restricted?
[04:23] <NotSure> just so that everybody knows, JRID is the MAN!!!! WOWOOWOW!
[04:23] <nonewmsgs> to the fellow who told me about asoundconf -- THANK YOU!!!!1 that was an unresolved post in the forums for ~2months
[04:23] <bmt2> is the checkinstall ran before the ./configure ?
[04:24] <usr13> bmt2: Yes, uninstall comes with some tarballs, not with others.

[04:27] <sotec_prod> so a 64bit processor would scream on a 32bit Ubuntu install?
[04:27] <usr13> damianl: no
[04:27] <scguy318> daminal: there is a difference between free as in speech, and free as in beer
[04:27] <gogeta> no
[04:27] <KStrings> sotec_prod: Most applications will loose performance on 64-bit
[04:27] <damianl> scguy318: yeah but its there fault for not obeying the gnu-gpl
[04:27] <gogeta> it wouldsream on 64 bit
[04:27] <sotec_prod> KStrings. not necessarily, just weighing the options
[04:27] <jrib> !offtopic | damianl
[04:27] <ubotu> damianl: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[04:27] <scguy318> damianl: they never agreed to license it under GNU GPL, why should they abide?
[04:27] <gogeta> it has to use a 32 bit layer to run 32 bit apps
[04:27] <erstazi> erisco: got something
[04:28] <gogeta> hence performance loss
[04:28] <denmax> i was just wondering if we have some kinda device manager where we can enable and disable devices in ubuntu ?
[04:28] <erisco> erstazi, awesome :D what is it?
[04:28] <Ignominy> scguy, how do I modprobe the kernel for the modules?
[04:28] <sotec_prod> KStrings, yea, i read a review on multicore processors and you're right. most software isn't multicore capale yet
[04:28] <StarScream> hey guys, i know PPC isn't supported anymore but is there anyone that is actually running the gutsy port ?
[04:28] <aschaetter> scguy: gutsy identifies my video card as an "Intel Mobile 945GM/GSM, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller"
[04:28] <gogeta> erisco what you trying to do
[04:28] <Jordan_U> gogeta, Only because of the extra footprint of reduntant libraries
[04:28] <jrib> StarScream: ask in #ubuntu+1
[04:28] <StarScream> jrib: cheers
[04:28] <scguy318> aschaetter: restricted isnt for you then, i really dunno, you should prob google
[04:28] <Jordan_U> gogeta, I wouldn't say that it is necessarily slower
[04:28] <erstazi> erisco: http://doc.gwos.org/doku.php/doc:office:virtualbox?s=sharing%20hard%20drive
[04:29] <scguy318> Ignominy: after you do the whole sudo sensors-detect thing
[04:29] <usr13> Unloading driver dissables device.
[04:29] <Ignominy> yup, that's done
[04:29] <gogeta> i knoe hiow to that with vmware
[04:29] <scguy318> Ignominy: it should have added the modules it found into etc/modules
[04:29] <erstazi> erisco: then locate "Sharing your hard drive" in the text
[04:29] <FireHazard17> what is a good live cd to format a drive to either ntfs?
[04:29] <sotec_prod> so a 64x2 amd processor and a 32bit Ubuntu install is definitely a win?
[04:29] <scguy318> Ignominy: since you haven't rebooted yet, just use the module names in that file
[04:29] <FireHazard17> .either
[04:29] <erstazi> erisco: that was a google search result, #3
[04:29] <scguy318> Ignominy: and do
[04:29] <erisco> erstazi, Error 403
[04:29] <FireHazard17> -either*
[04:29] <scguy318> Ignominy: sudo modprobe modulenamehere
[04:29] <d0s> has anyone downloaded ubunbtu feitsy and cannot find the compiz fusion settings manager?
[04:29] <erstazi> erisco: http://doc.gwos.org/doku.php/?do=search&id=sharing+hard+drive
[04:29] <Ignominy> ah, ok.
[04:29] <usr13>  denmax unload driver
[04:29] <aschaetter> scguy: i have no no avail. Do you think this is an x server problem or a graphics card problem?
[04:29] <scguy318> !gutsy | aschaetter
[04:29] <ubotu> aschaetter: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[04:29] <gogeta> scguy you ned to install it
[04:29] <bluestreak_> system -> preferences
[04:29] <scguy318> aschaetter: i didnt notice you said gutsy
[04:29] <bluestreak_> look there
[04:30] <erisco> erstazi, oops, that is because I am using an invalid user agent :P it detected that I am not *really* googlebot
[04:30] <erstazi> erisco: then select the doc:office:virtualbox
[04:30] <slimjimflim> Jordan_U, i'm noticing the effects of nvidia not starting, and don't like it.  i'll try nvidia-glx
[04:30] <erstazi> erisco: ttsk tsk tsk, the user agent switcher extension eh?
[04:30] <scguy318> gogeta: our convo is muddled in this text :(
[04:30] <gogeta> lol
[04:30] <aschaetter> scguy: i get the same error in feisty and gutsy
[04:30] <erisco> erstazi, nah, just changed it in about:config
[04:30] <scguy318> gogeta: perhaps you were addressing someone else? i dont have much need for VMware, i know how to use :D
[04:30] <erstazi> erisco: try the user agent switcher, its smooth
[04:30] <gogeta> yea
[04:30] <scguy318> aschaetter: perhaps you should google around in forums
[04:31] <erisco> erstazi, I will have to look for that
[04:31] <cappicard> lol... looks like xdmcp from ubuntu server to vista laptop via wifi is slow as can be
[04:31] <erstazi> erisco: though I don't like too many extensions, only have a few enabled
[04:31] <gogeta> someone hear wanted to use a real disk
[04:31] <gogeta> you can in vmware easly
[04:31] <gogeta> just need to mod xp a bit
[04:31] <erstazi> gogeta: same in virtualbox
[04:31] <gogeta> make a diffrent hardware profile
[04:31] <gogeta> name it vm or something
[04:31] <slimjimflim> Jordan_U, ok, i installed it, how do i restart xwindows?
[04:31] <gogeta> then boot that profile whenever your using a vm soft
[04:31] <gogeta> easy
[04:32] <erisco> erstazi, that still isn't what I want though
[04:32] <KStrings> slimjimflim:  Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
[04:32] <Troseph> slimjimflim: ctrl+alt+backspace
[04:32] <Jordan_U> slimjimflim, ctrl+alt+backspace , but unless you used Restricted Manager you will also need to run dpkg-reconfigure
[04:32] <erisco> erstazi, that is just being able to access real disks from my virtual box... I want my virtual box to USE a REAL disk
[04:32] <erstazi> erisco: with Ubuntu as the host and Windows as the guest?
[04:32] <mushroomjay> Can someone give me a download to openGL drivers for my Nvidia Ti4200?
[04:32] <Jordan_U> slimjimflim, Or edit your Xorg.conf manually
[04:32] <FFighter> Could anyone suggest me a good FTP client for *nix/Ubuntu ?
[04:32] <Troseph> gftp
[04:32] <erisco> erstazi, I want my virtual box to BOOT from a REAL disk
[04:32] <Jordan_U> !ftp | FFighter
[04:32] <ubotu> FFighter: FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd
[04:33] <erstazi> erisco: in that scenario, windows is the guest vm
[04:33] <erisco> erstazi, yes, I want windows to be the guest
[04:33] <erisco> erstazi, but I want windows on a bootable partition you see
[04:33] <Troseph> FFighter: Filezilla works in Ubuntu
[04:33] <Ignominy> scguy, that did the trick.  thanks a bunch!
[04:33] <scguy318> Ignominy: np
[04:34] <Jordan_U> erisco, What VM are you using?
[04:34] <erisco> Jordan_U, virtualbox or vmware... or whatever will work
[04:34] <scguy318> erisoco: my $0.02 USD, but i think VMware should be able to utilize a physical partition/disk
[04:35] <scguy318> *erisco
[04:35] <FFighter> Troseph, ffox plugin?
[04:35] <Stratos> Anyone knows, how Jack Rack works?
[04:35] <erisco> scguy318, I would think so too... but I cannot find how/where to look to find out how
[04:35] <Jordan_U> erisco, There are guides for both, I think it's easier with VMware ( though I have never done it myself )
[04:35] <denmax> usr13 - can i PM you ?
[04:35] <Jordan_U> erisco, Try #vmware
[04:35] <scguy318> erisco: you would just edit the VM config file I think, doesnt VMware Server have a GUI?
[04:35] <mushroomjay> Could someone give me a download to OpenGL drivers for my Nvidia Ti4200?
[04:35] <erisco> Jordan_U, #vmware is an idle channel atm
[04:35] <usr13>  denmax; yes
[04:35] <Hilikus> im reading that to mount a windows dir in linux i can use smbfs but theyre also saying vfs, which one should i use
[04:35] <scguy318> !nvidia | mushroomjay
[04:35] <ubotu> mushroomjay: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:36] <mushroomjay> Thanks.
[04:36] <scguy318> mushroomjay: dont use if your card ain't legacy tho ;)
[04:36] <erisco> scguy318, it does have a GUI. I had problems while trying to use a real disk though
[04:36] <Troseph> FFighter: fireFTP works for me.
[04:36] <scguy318> mushroomjay: IS legacy
[04:36] <mushroomjay> all right thank you
[04:36] <scguy318> mushroomjay: if your card is legacy, dont use the guard
[04:36] <un_dave> hey all. just had my first ever full ubuntu lockup. i want to work out what caused it, but checking the logs doesnt seem to show anything. anyone have any ideas?
[04:36] <scguy318> *guide zomg
[04:36] <Jordan_U> erisco, Hmm, there used to be a link in the topic for using physical partitions in #vmware
[04:36] <Troseph> FFighter: Firefox <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:36] <scguy318> erisco: probably you should do a VMware install on actual partition, bringing native -> VM can be problematic
[04:37] <slimjimflim> Jordan_U, ok, i ran `dpg-reconfigure nvidia-glx` but ctrl-alt-backspace didn't do anything
[04:37] <scguy318> erisco: liek fresh VM, fresh physical, run Windows Setup on that VM
[04:37] <Jordan_U> slimjimflim, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[04:37] <scguy318> Jordan_U: what does -phigh do, i never figured that out
[04:37] <Jordan_U> slimjimflim, Then be sure to choose "nvidia" for the driver
[04:38] <erisco> scguy318, I haven't used vmware like that...
[04:38] <erisco> scguy318, I would be lost :P
[04:38] <Jordan_U> scguy318, Only asks high priority questions, there is also -pmedium for example
[04:38] <scguy318> Jordan_U: ah, didnt know that :)
[04:38] <erisco> scguy318, everything works up till vmware-server wants to create some file to keep track of the disk. However, regardless of where I try to save the file vmware complains it does not have permissions to do so
[04:38] <erisco> scguy318, I even started vmware as root and it won't work
[04:39] <macgruber> hi folks, someone here have a creative zen vision:m ?
[04:39] <Jordan_U> scguy318, I always read it as if my dad was using it like a curse word ( fye :)
[04:39] <erisco> scguy318, it is calling this file the "disk file"
[04:39] <scguy318> Jordan_U: lol
[04:39] <scguy318> erisco: mm, dunno :(, my VMware experience has been Windows so far
[04:39] <scguy318> erisco: havent had the need to use it on Linux
[04:39] <evilxhwnd> erisco, are you talking about this? http://www.advicesource.org/ubuntu/Run_Existing_Windows_Instalation_On_Ubuntu_With_Vmware_player.html
[04:39] <a-stray-cat> can anyone help me in getting a usb mic to work with wine in progs like ventrilo?
[04:39] <novato_br> what is the newest version about xchat?
[04:40] <novato_br> is it: XChat 2.8.2 ?
[04:40] <scguy318> a-stray-cat: you probably want to change audio driver in winecfg to ALSA, and read the Wine AppDb guide for vent
[04:40] <Jordan_U> erisco, Where is it trying to save it?
[04:40] <Jordan_U> erisco, Do you have enough free space?
[04:40] <slimjimflim> i got to the resolution selection,but when i hit ok, i got "warning: overwriting possibly customized configuration", jordan_u
[04:40] <scguy318> novato_br: prob, not sure if thats repo latest
[04:41] <scguy318> novato_br: *probably
[04:41] <erisco> Jordan_U, I am trying to save it anywhere... no location will work. I have plenty of free space
[04:41] <Jordan_U> slimjimflim, That is normal, it makes a backup of your old config
[04:41] <novato_br> scguy318, i want the newest version about xchat
[04:41] <alcaponage> Can anyone help me?
[04:41] <erisco> evilxhwnd, so that uses vmware-player instead of vmware-server... I am unsure of the differences
[04:41] <alcaponage> Can I reset my ubuntu settings?
[04:41] <Pelo> alcaponage, what with ?
[04:41] <Jordan_U> alcaponage, Yes
[04:41] <alcaponage> Can you tell me how?
[04:42] <jetscreamer> just mv stuff in ~
[04:42] <slimjimflim> jordan_u, ok, but why can't i select nvidia, and why dosen't ctrl-alt-backspace work?
[04:42] <Pelo> alcaponage,  be a little more precise , what did you screw up ?
[04:42] <alcaponage> I was trying to install beryl
[04:42] <scguy318> novato_br: the repos prob have old version, you may have to build from source :(
[04:42] <alcaponage> and now i keep getting errors
[04:42] <scguy318> novato_br: its advisable to checkinstall a tarball
[04:42] <scguy318> !checkinstall | novato_br
[04:42] <ubotu> novato_br: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[04:42] <Jordan_U> alcaponage, For user specific settings just delete the corresponding ~/. files
[04:42] <alcaponage> "failed to fetch errors"
[04:42] <novato_br> without problem, scguy318
[04:42] <scguy318> !make | novato_br
[04:42] <ubotu> novato_br: 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!)
[04:42] <Jordan_U> alcaponage, Like for firefox the settings are stored in ~/.firefox
[04:42] <Pelo> alcaponage,  what are you doing then you get that error ?
[04:42] <novato_br> i can compile the source
[04:43] <alcaponage> i am trying to install compiz
[04:43] <novato_br> i don't have afraid
[04:43] <scguy318> slimjimflim: are you at Terminal or wut?
[04:43] <evilxhwnd> erisco, vmware player lets you run an existing virtual machine, server lets you make the virtual machines. you should be able to use server in place of player for that tutorial. i did it with vmware workstation.
[04:43] <Pelo> alcaponage, ask in #compiz-fusion
[04:43] <scguy318> slimjimflim: cuz if theres no X running, you obviously cant kill it ;)
[04:43] <slimjimflim> scguy318, yes
[04:43] <ChaosMachine> Why does my Adept package manager keep starting in read only mode because it says package manager is probably busy? I've rebooted my machine and its still busy..
[04:43] <damianl_> is there some sort of equaliser for gstreamer that anyone knows of?
[04:43] <scguy318> slimjimflim: no X, you have to restart gdm
[04:43] <damianl_> or an eq for alsa?
[04:43] <scguy318> slimjimflim: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace kills X if X is RUNNING ;)
[04:43] <gregorovius> novato_br, have you tried asking in the brazilian channel?
[04:43] <greenmanspirit> anyone here use kvm with windows on a widescreen monitor and know how to get windows to have a widescreen resolution
[04:43] <slimjimflim> scguy318, what's the command to restart it, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart?
[04:44] <novato_br> yep, gregorovius
[04:44] <scguy318> slimjimflim: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[04:44] <Jordan_U> slimjimflim, Yup
[04:44] <novato_br> they are old versions about xchat
[04:44] <damianl_> is there some sort of equaliser for gstreamer that anyone knows of?
[04:44] <novato_br> i want the new options on xchat
[04:45] <Jordan_U> slimjimflim, You may need to kill gdm first manually though ( I sometimes get a bug where gdm doesn't get shut down properly before restarting )
[04:45] <slimjimflim> ok
[04:45] <gregorovius> novato_br, have you tried installing the gutsy package? it might work
[04:46] <Jordan_U> novato_br, Don't install the Gutsy package
[04:46] <novato_br> not yet, gregorovius
[04:46] <gregorovius> why not, Jordan_U ?
[04:46] <novato_br> when it's go out, i will take it
[04:46] <scguy318> grenorovious: i imagine it would obviously depend on other Gutsy packages
[04:46] <gregorovius> sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't
[04:47] <Jordan_U> novato_br, It is not a good idea to use packages from other versions, you could grab the feisty source package and recompile it for Feisty though ( not as hard as it sounds )
[04:47] <novato_br> oktanouc, Jordan_U
[04:47] <Mixx> what's the best way to see the list of attached hard drives & their sizes, ,makes models, etc?  trying to come up with a better way to identify a drive than mounting and browsing it
[04:47] <gregorovius> well, gutsy's xchat doesn't work in feisty
[04:48] <scguy318> Mixx: sudo fdisk -l lists partitions
[04:48] <jetscreamer> no need for sudo on that one iirc
[04:48] <Mixx> scguy318 that's perfect, thank you
[04:48] <nonewmsgs> gtkpod isnt working for me so what should i use for adding music to my ipod
[04:48] <gregorovius> novato_br, you can compile from source or wait about a month til gutsy comes out
[04:48] <jetscreamer> would that be xchat-gnome btw
[04:48] <jetscreamer> which blows
[04:49] <novato_br> noflex, gregorovius , i can't wait, i love update, newest things
[04:49] <novato_br> i need it
[04:49] <gregorovius> compile it from source then
[04:49] <Jordan_U> novato_br, http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkg_basics.en.html
[04:49] <novato_br> i will install when release the gusty
[04:49] <slimjimflim> jordan_u, scguy318, i got a screen that said that :0 was already in use
[04:49] <novato_br> ok. gregorovius
[04:49] <a-stray-cat> when i launch winecfg i get ":ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on AK5370          , disabling mixer" in the terminal
[04:49] <Jordan_U> novato_br, See 6.13 and 6.14
[04:49] <a-stray-cat> the AK5370 is my mic :/
[04:49] <novato_br> ok., Jordan_U
[04:50] <co_arab_six_A_si> kk
[04:50] <a-stray-cat> anyone have any ideas how to fix that?
[04:50] <Jordan_U> slimjimflim, run "sudo killall X" and possibly "sudo killall gdm"
[04:50] <slimjimflim> killall, sounds like a nifty command
[04:51] <pike__> pkill killall kill xkill etc
[04:51] <egd-> hi, i tried to burn an ubuntu iso on a dvd, it never booted from cd
[04:51] <pike__> xkill is most fun. its like you against the program
[04:52] <Jordan_U> egd-, And?
[04:52] <egd-> why?
[04:52] <egd-> do i need a cd-r?
[04:52] <egd-> not dvd
[04:52] <pike__> egd-: did it give you an error or did it just boot to hd normally?
[04:52] <egd-> boot to hd. i checked boot order
[04:53] <Jordan_U> egd-, Did you burn the image as a file on the DVD or did you burn from the image?
[04:53] <usr13> egd-: Was it DVD iso or a CD iso?
[04:54] <pillowpants> is there a channel for ubuntu server edition?
[04:54] <Flannel> pillowpants: this is it
[04:54] <tech0007> hi everyone
[04:54] <egd-> I mounted this file: ubuntu-7.04-desktop-amd64.iso to my daemon tools program (winxp). then i drag-dropped the files and started to burn
[04:54] <pillowpants> Flannel : ah, i see
[04:54] <usr13> pillowpants: what is your question?
[04:55] <pillowpants> im having some trouble getting fluxbox to load up
[04:55] <pillowpants> its saying it cant connect to xserver
[04:55] <Flannel> egd-: If you look at the CD in windows, what do you see? A whole bunch of files? or the .iso file?
[04:55] <Jordan_U> egd-, You need to actually use a program that can burn iso's
[04:55] <Flannel> pillowpants: do you have xserver-xorg installed?
[04:55] <Jordan_U> Flannel, Sounds like he copied the files form the iso, not what most people do where they just copy the iso file to a CD, it still won't work
[04:56] <tech0007> anyone knows how to make samsung sgh-e760s work w/ ubuntu?
[04:56] <pillowpants> i assumed it installed by the dependency, but i didnt check
[04:56] <pillowpants> i guess ill do that
[04:56] <Flannel> Jordan_U: a CD image should work on DVD media
[04:56] <Jordan_U> egd-, As well as the files the iso also defines a bootloader which is needed to make it bootable
[04:56] <usr13> Jordan_U: What your actually saying is that he made an iso image of an iso image.
[04:56] <robert98374> hello everyone
[04:56] <Flannel> pillowpants: It's because technically it's not a prereq, you can have an Xserver on a different computer you're using.
[04:57] <tarelerulz> I have an usb soundcard/ mic and headset hook up
[04:57] <Jordan_U> Flannel, He mounted the CD, copied the files to a burn folder then burned it, so it won't include isolinux ( the bootloader )
[04:57] <robert98374> For some reason my computer doesn't like the default terminal emulator,any one have any reccomendations for another one?
[04:57] <pillowpants> Flannel : yeah, i just looked, im getting it installed
[04:57] <pillowpants> silly of me to assume
[04:57] <Jordan_U> egd-, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[04:57] <tarelerulz> It seem like flash player and vlc don't use my usb sound card and I would love to know how to make them use it.
[04:58] <usr13> pillowpants: Why would you install X on a server?
[04:58] <FunnyLookinHat> How do I adjust the font color used in my main bar in Gnome? (i.e. where it says Applications, Places, System and even the Time & Date on sys tray)?
[04:58] <greenmanspirit> anyone here use kvm with windows on a widescreen monitor and know how to get windows to have a widescreen resolution
[04:58] <slimjimflim> it looks like i have 1.0.7814, but i have the module for 1.0.9631, jordan_u
[04:58] <gregorovius> FunnyLookinHat, the font color depends on the system theme
[04:58] <usr13> greenmanspirit: When you say "windows"  do you mean  MS Windows?
[04:58] <robert98374> what's a good console emulator for xubuntu?
[04:58] <gregorovius> you can change the whole theme, changing just the font is more complicated
[04:59] <pillowpants> usr13: so i can use firefox and find out how to use ubuntu server, heh
[04:59] <FunnyLookinHat> gregorovius, Ah ok, so I can only do it through the themes manager.   Thanks man
[04:59] <greenmanspirit> usr13: yes, windows xp
[04:59] <gregorovius> np
[04:59] <Anthology> lol
[04:59] <DWonderly> greenmanspirit your Vid cad must support. IF it does then use the utility from that to output widescreen
[04:59] <jetscreamer> you might ask in ##windows , greenmanspirit
[04:59] <pillowpants> im going to load up an nfs fileserver
[04:59] <pillowpants> ive never done that from console
[04:59] <slimjimflim> i still get the error about the tty it wants to use being available
[04:59] <Jordan_U> slimjimflim, That shouldn't be possible if you are using the apt package, maybe you got far enough in the nvidia installer for it to make the module
[05:00] <usr13>  pillowpants: I don't think the browser will help..
[05:00] <Jordan_U> slimjimflim, You tried "sudo killall X" ?
[05:00] <Curs0r> I'm having trouble with grub under a chroot http://rafb.net/p/XGVJp495.html can anyone help with that?
[05:00] <slimjimflim> yea
[05:00] <greenmanspirit> when i lauch windows, qemu/kvm just call my graphics card some generic name that only deals with 4:3 resolutions
[05:00] <pillowpants> usr13: just to check online
[05:00] <slimjimflim> but i looked in the error log, and it said i had the wrong version installed
[05:00] <usr13>  pillowpants:  apt-get install lynx
[05:01] <gregorovius> grub under chroot? i might be ignorant, but why?
[05:01] <Jordan_U> Curs0r, Do you have /proc and /dev mounted in the chroot environment?
[05:01] <slimjimflim> so i think i'll try to focus on uninstalling the nvidia package before anything else
[05:01] <pillowpants> is there a man page for ubuntu server?
[05:01] <Curs0r> Jordan_U, I have /proc and /sys mounted
[05:01] <pillowpants> while im on it
[05:01] <pillowpants> as in...to let me know how to setup an nfs fileserver

[05:02] <mlalkaka> I'm trying to use NetworkManager on Xubuntu. The NetworkManager and NetworkManagerDispatcher programs are running as root, and nm-applet is running as a normal user. I've enabled roaming mode using network-admin on the wireless card. But nm-applet does not show any available networks. However, I know there is an available network because if I use network-admin to manually connect to one (by manually typing in the essid, wep code, e
[05:02] <mlalkaka> tc). Can anyone help me solve this problem?
[05:02] <Curs0r> Jordan_U, I mounted /dev but with the same results

[05:04] <pike__> !cli | kaChr
[05:04] <ubotu> kaChr: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal

[05:14] <pillowpants> heh, lynx wasnt installed
[05:14] <pillowpants> ive suddenly grown more fond of the console

[05:16] <dfcarney> I'm trying to set up proftpd to run an FTP server.  I can connect locally, but when I connect remotely I'm met with the following error after logging in: "bind: address already in use".  Any ideas?
[05:16] <fiXXXerMet> dfcarney: Something else must be bound to port 21
[05:16] <rabbitnightmare> I am using pclinuxos and it really isnt all I want does anyone know if ubuntu is better from personal experience?
[05:16] <pillowpants> usr13: no error, im just saying lynx wasnt installed by default
[05:17] <usr13> pillowpants: Oh, ok
[05:17] <slimjimflim> dfcarney, did you have your registrar redirect your domain to your static ip?
[05:17] <awake> sombody else can help me?
[05:17] <usr13> awake: What is your question?
[05:17] <pillowpants> rabbitnightmare : ubuntu has its faults, but i like it over pclinuxos
[05:17] <dfcarney> slimjimflim: i'm using a dynamic IP address right now, but that shouldn't matter.  like i said, i can connect to my server and log in.  it's only after i login that i get that error.
[05:18] <Jordan_U> rabbitnightmare, Betteer is subjective
[05:18] <gregorovius> awake, does your /var/log/Xorg.0.log say anything special?
[05:18] <pillowpants> rabbitnightmare : i felt it didnt give me enough control over the system
[05:18] <Jordan_U> rabbitnightmare, So is better :)
[05:18] <usr13> rabbitnightmare: Linux is linux, the differences are in package management / package managers and configurations of individual applications.
[05:18] <pillowpants> rabbitnightmare : but to each is own
[05:18] <rabbitnightmare> my main problem is it doesnt support gnome and they refuse to support it at all and I wanted gnome
[05:18] <awake> usr13: http://pastebin.com/mcc15c97 I get that error when i try to login into my gnome session. Only failsafe mode works
[05:19] <sensae> #alsa is rather dead, would anyone here be able to give me help getting my sound working? I know which module I need but a modinfo gives an error

[05:19] <slimjimflim> dfcarney, is that all the output you  get when you log in?
[05:19] <awake> *think
[05:19] <rabbitnightmare> and you answered me they refused to answer any real questions and refused to admit the os had faults it just kept dieing on me
[05:19] <scguy318> sensae: what's the error? and have you tried modprobing it?
[05:19] <gregorovius> awake, https://bugs.launchpad.net/gdm/+bug/121119
[05:20] <rabbitnightmare> ty so much the community here seems much wider and well more responsive
[05:20] <rabbitnightmare> that made the decision for me
[05:20] <scguy318> rabbitnightmare: i looked at their page, and their PCLinuxOS magazine was liek Ubuntu is evill!!1!!1
[05:20] <scguy318> rabbitnightmare: sounded propagandish, and if they have to do that, they must not be so good
[05:20] <rabbitnightmare> maybe ubuntu ste
[05:20] <Dr_Willis> Gee.. PClinuxOS - one distro that ive NEVER been able to get to work right
[05:20] <rabbitnightmare> it dies like everyday
[05:20] <sensae> scguy318: The error is cannot find module, and I get the same error with modprobe. I may be going about this the wrong way
[05:21] <Diablo-D3> magz0r: narf.
[05:21] <rabbitnightmare> and there is no source code so ./configure breaks things
[05:21] <awake> gregorovius: Im going to try the empty file "fix"
[05:21] <dfcarney> slimjimflim: I get a "230 User ... logged in".  Typing something like "ls", I get an error which reads "500 Illegal PORT command", followed by "ftp: bind: Address already in use"
[05:21] <gregorovius> try and tell us if it worked
[05:21] <magz0r> herro Diablo-D3
[05:21] <BaD_CrC> is there a wiki or howto somewhere that explains all the options in the xorg.conf file so i can tweak it out?
[05:21] <Diablo-D3> BaD_CrC: no, and there shouldnt be either
[05:21] <rabbitnightmare> awesome

[05:22] <kaChr> what did i do with pidof?
[05:22] <kaChr> cuz i typed it and it didnt show me anything
[05:22] <NeowIkkin> ok.... so whats the real diffrence between ubuntu desktop version and server version

[05:23] <NeowIkkin> ?
[05:23] <slimjimflim> dfcarney, it sounds like youre getting redirected, but that when you use 'ls' or whatever other command, the fact that you originally called a different domain than you're connected to is messing it up.  i've had the same sort of issue w/ httpd, so i went to my registrar's configuration and not only enabled redirection, but also domain masking. that might help you
[05:24] <LucianIndy> oh, i know nothing about that that brand
[05:24] <dfcarney> slimjimflim: hmmm...thanks.  i'll look into that.
[05:24] <NeowIkkin> anyone can help?
[05:24] <NeowIkkin> ok.... so whats the real diffrence between ubuntu desktop version and server version
[05:24] <slimjimflim> dfcarney, and you should also use dyndns.com or a similar site to turn your dynamic ip into a static one
[05:24] <pillowpants> usr13 : thanks for the help, im going in a better direction now
[05:24] <LucianIndy> fiXXXerMet: its not ntfs is it
[05:24] <dfcarney> slimjimflim: already do.
[05:25] <slimjimflim> hmm
[05:25] <slimjimflim> well, good luck w/ that it took about 24 hours for my name to get circulated through all the dns servers
[05:25] <scguy318> Neowlkkin: different kernel, stripped down packages
[05:25] <slimjimflim> dfcarney ^^

[05:26] <scguy318> !hda
[05:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hda - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:26] <dfcarney> slimjimflim: it's just that ftp doesn't work
[05:26] <scguy318> sensae: i think we have a guide to HDA Intel in the wiki
[05:26] <awake> gregorovius: It didint work :(
[05:26] <NeowIkkin> so if i want an OS more then just browsing and email and such. should i go for the server version?
[05:26] <kaChr> how do i install and ftp on a ubuntu server
[05:26] <sensae> Does anyone else know anything about ALSA and getting a matrix module working?
[05:26] <sensae> scguy318: Sorry, I didn't see your post
[05:26] <sensae> I'll take a look
[05:26] <dfcarney> slimjimflim: thanks for your help.  i'll poke around with it some more.
[05:26] <slimjimflim> dfcarney idk then, maybe #proftp
[05:26] <dfcarney> slimjimflim: good idea
[05:27] <Hilikus> is there a way to specify in fstab to mount a partition only if it is available? its a network partition and i dont want to get errors in case the server is down
[05:27] <scguy318> sensae: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems  for now
[05:27] <dfcarney> slimjimflim: later.  thanks.

[05:27] <slimjimflim> dfcarney np
[05:27] <weltschmerz> i have no sound on my thinkpad T60, even though it seems to be successfully playing.  i just installed ubuntu on it a few weeks ago.  this happened once and then went away when i fiddled with the volume buttons.  but now nothing seems to help.
[05:27] <sensae> scguy: I found it, talking about this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[05:27] <NeowIkkin> so if i want an OS more then just browsing and email and such. should i go for the server version?
[05:28] <scguy318> yep
[05:28] <weltschmerz> also, my normal system (this one) won't hibernate anymore.  when it resumes it just boots from scratch.
[05:28] <Avt3kk> how do I install mplayer in ubuntu?
[05:28] <Dr_Willis> NeowIkkin the desktop version can do   most of that..  :)

[05:28] <gregorovius> sorry, awake, i'm out of ideas
[05:28] <weltschmerz> Avt3kk sudo apt-get install mplayer ?
[05:28] <Avt3kk> about packages
[05:28] <sensae> lol I started with the server version, then installed xubuntu, then moved to ubuntu.
[05:28] <NeowIkkin> all i needed. thanks
[05:28] <usr13> NeowIkkin: if i want an OS more then just browsing and email and  such. should i go for the server version?
[05:28] <usr13> NeowIkkin: if you want an OS more then just browsing and email and  such. should you should NOT go for the server version?
[05:29] <scguy318> usr13: like...hosting?
[05:29] <Avt3kk> package mplayer isnt available???
[05:29] <sensae> Right now I have the perfect setup for slowly trying to move over from Windows
[05:29] <pillowpants> does anyone know a good text based AIM client?
[05:29] <usr13>  scguy318:  exactly what do you want to do?
[05:29] <Flannel> pillowpants: centericq
[05:29] <slimjimflim> sensae, what's holding you back from breaking windows ;)
[05:29] <sensae> slimjimflim: games
[05:29] <Avt3kk> Weltschmerz what should I do pachage mplayer isnt available?
[05:29] <usr13>  scguy318:  Are you wanting to set up a webserver?
[05:30] <awake> gregorovius: How do i apply this fix http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=90994&action=view ?
[05:30] <scguy318> usr13: no
[05:30] <Shadow6363> how would I go about allowing a user to login w/o a password but not autologon on boot?
[05:30] <sensae> slimjimflim: But I'm using two monitors, with synergy so it acts like a dual monitor setup.
[05:30] <slimjimflim> sensae, i recently got steam working on wine, but w/ no opengl support [20 fps avg]
[05:30] <scguy318> usr13: i think I accidentally directed towards the responder, sry :)
[05:30] <usr13> Shadow6363: Just use no password.
[05:30] <usr13> Shadow6363: But it's not good to do that.
[05:30] <weltschmerz> dear god!  i just booted up my laptop, and sound is mysteriously working again.
[05:30] <scguy318> slimjimflim: on Wine, its DX -> libs -> OpenGL
[05:30] <sensae> slimjimflim: Yeah.. when it comes to playing games I don't feel like messing with stuff like wine to get it to work. I just don't keep anything important on the windows system
[05:30] <Avt3kk> guys?
[05:30] <weltschmerz> it wasn't working the last several times i used it.
[05:30] <weltschmerz> UGH!!!
[05:30] <jetscreamer> fiXXXerMet: so does id say you are 1000 ?
[05:30] <Shadow6363> usr13: when creating the user, it wont let me use no password
[05:30] <Avt3kk> package mplayer isnt available
[05:31] <scguy318> slimjimflim: have you peeked at AppDb?
[05:31] <Marfi> hey yall, my applications have disapeared. i can see the button, but everything under it is not there. anyone know how to recover it?
[05:31] <scguy318> Avt3kk: all repos enabled?
[05:31] <usr13>  Shadow6363:  passwd <usernamehere>
[05:31] <Avt3kk> yes in synaptic
[05:31] <Shadow6363> usr13: thanks, shoudl have known that myself
[05:31] <usr13> Shadow6363: But why do you need to do that?
[05:31] <scguy318> Avt3kk: weird, it shows up for me, have you searched in Synaptic?
[05:31] <Avt3kk> no
[05:32] <slimjimflim> scguy318, i'll keep that in mind (or in .txt) until i have a gui again
[05:32] <scguy318> sensae: yeah, Wine has a long way to go, through it's made very good strides, and I've gotten some games to run better on Linux
[05:32] <deviantintegral> i have a server which seems to be kernel panicking on me. What's the best way to ensure that the panic is somehow logged?
[05:32] <Shadow6363> usr13: mother xdmcp's onto this computer but cant seem to remember any passwords
[05:32] <Shadow6363> usr13: i dont intend on it being permanent, just a one week solution
[05:32] <fiXXXerMet> jetscreamer: It's weird.  I can write to the device when I mount it in command line, but if I let ubuntu do it automatically, or if I open the device with nautilus, after mounting it on the command line, it goes read-only
[05:33] <usr13>  Shadow6363: Use an easy one, like 1234 or asdf
[05:33] <NeowIkkin> ok
[05:33] <usr13> Shadow6363: And put sticky note on monitor.
[05:33] <Avt3kk> this is the error guys:::: http://pastebin.org/3819
[05:33] <jetscreamer> fiXXXerMet: try mounting it somewhere other than under /media ... like /mnt
[05:33] <scguy318> deviantintegral: i think the kernel should dump to file usually
[05:33] <Shadow6363> usr13: passwd <username> still forced a password so yeah, im doing what i used to do and putting a sticky up
[05:33] <fiXXXerMet> ok
[05:33] <Avt3kk> I installed VLC does that matter?
[05:33] <Avt3kk> after I uninstalled totem
[05:33] <jetscreamer> fiXXXerMet: i 'think' that will stop all the automount gnome stuff
[05:33] <NeowIkkin> this may sound really silly, but. i understood the server version is alot more package filled. yet the desktop edition is 200 MB's bigger
[05:34] <NeowIkkin> have i missed something?
[05:34] <usr13> Shadow6363: Computer users need to learn to use and keep up with passwords
[05:34] <deviantintegral> scguy318: what file? I thought it just did the screen as it couldn't guarentee that the write didn't corrupt something
[05:34] <scguy318> Avt3kk: you have any broken packages?
[05:34] <usr13> Shadow6363: It's not THAT hard.
[05:34] <jetscreamer> i think it monitors /media kind of things
[05:34] <scguy318> deviantintegral: im not sure, unfortunately, no expert on the kernel :(
[05:34] <Avt3kk> scguy I dunno how I find out
[05:34] <Dr_Willis> NeowIkkin i dont know where ya heard that at.. but it dosent make much sence.
[05:34] <Shadow6363> usr13: i know
[05:34] <scguy318> Avt3kk: in Synaptic, press Broken Packages
[05:34] <usr13> Shadow6363: You can blank it out in /etc/shadow
[05:34] <Roffelkhoptre> Hey guys, I got a question if anyone is okay with helping me out
[05:34] <NeowIkkin> Dr_Willis: heard what?
[05:34] <rockets> !ask | Roffelkhoptre
[05:34] <ubotu> Roffelkhoptre: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:34] <usr13> Shadow6363: just remove all between first : and second :
[05:34] <deviantintegral> scguy318: apparently lcrash can dump it to swap, but there is no binary module/kernel in apt and I really don't want to have to compile a custom kernel
[05:35] <Roffelkhoptre> ok, thanks
[05:35] <Dr_Willis> NeowIkkin the desktop install has X and a lot of other stuff...
[05:35] <usr13> But using no password is a bad idea.
[05:35] <sensae> scguy318: would you consider it a good or bad idea to use the alsa rc?
[05:35] <Shadow6363> usr13: just adding -d to passwd does it, i think ill just do the sticky anyways
[05:35] <Avt3kk> no broken
[05:35] <Roffelkhoptre> I want to install my Nvidia card, and so I got the package from the website. However, I just started using Ubuntu today, and don't know how to install it.
[05:35] <FFighter> hello folks
[05:35] <FFighter> I'm having problems with PHP5 instaled through a2enmod
[05:35] <scguy318> sensae: the ALSA config file? mm, dunno, could take a shot
[05:35] <NeowIkkin> so, in other words the server version
[05:35] <FFighter> it just seems to load the module
[05:35] <gregorovius> !nvidia | Roffelkhoptre
[05:35] <Roffelkhoptre> I looked at the online guide on the ubuntu website and didn't find any help
[05:35] <ubotu> Roffelkhoptre: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:36] <Roffelkhoptre> thanks
[05:36] <FFighter> but does't bind .php extension to the script interpreter
[05:36] <NeowIkkin> is a stripped ubuntu made JUST for servering?
[05:36] <usr13> Shadow6363: vim /etc/shadow
[05:36] <scguy318> Neowlkkin: yes, Ubuntu Server ;)
[05:36] <weltschmerz> my system won't hibernate suddenly.  it appears to hibernate, but then reboots when i try to "resume"
[05:36] <sensae> scguy318: No, alsa itself. the hda walkthrough tells me to upgrade alsa from their site directly, and they have rcs
[05:36] <gregorovius> Roffelkhoptre, by the way, you shouldn't neet to download anything from the nvidia.com site
[05:36] <NeowIkkin> ah... the world of logic. amazing : ) thanks
[05:36] <scguy318> sensae: ah, yeah, you can try that
[05:36] <FFighter> nor add the mime types
[05:36] <slimjimflim> scguy318, what's AppDb
[05:36] <gregorovius> need*
[05:36] <Avt3kk> so what do I do????
[05:36] <scguy318> sensae: it shouldn't be ultra-deadly
[05:36] <johoja> hey does anyone know if the xvmc spec supports h.264/mpeg4 ?
[05:36] <scguy318> slimjimflim: the Wine AppDb is a site where you can get information on application compatibility with Wine, and how to get them working http://appdb.winehq.org
[05:37] <Avt3kk> force mplayer to install in ubuntu how?????
[05:37] <slimjimflim> nice
[05:37] <usr13> Avt3kk: Why won't it install normally?

[05:37] <NeowIkkin> how come this one comes in one iso
[05:38] <scguy318> Avt3kk: are there any broken packages in Synaptic?

[05:42] <gogeta> its spred over all 5
[05:42] <jetscreamer> 1cd will be more than enough
[05:42] <Dr_Willis> Compiz/beryl/whatever-its-called-this-week - needs more Changes to make it even MORE confusing. :)
[05:42] <jetscreamer> you can build a dvd out of the cd's though

[05:44] <NeowIkkin> thats all for now lads
[05:44] <jerbear> anyone know of a good tool to monitor wifi signal strength?
[05:44] <NeowIkkin> ill be annoying ya later.
[05:44] <Roffelkhoptre> 8600 GT, sorry
[05:45] <slimjimflim> jerbear kismet
[05:45] <danny500> lol Will the PNY Geforce 8800 GTS 320MB gfx card that I just ordered run Beryl?
[05:45] <usr13> jerbear: iwconfig
[05:45] <scguy318> Roffelkhoptre: is it on the supported card list? if not, you may have to use Nvidia's binary installer
[05:45] <Roffelkhoptre> Where is there a supported card list?
[05:45] <usr13> jerbear: iwconfig - if the wireless card is fully suppported
[05:45] <scguy318> !nvidia | Roffelkhoptre
[05:45] <jerbear> slimjimflim, usr13: i need to be able to see realtime info...
[05:45] <ubotu> Roffelkhoptre: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:45] <fowlduck> is gutsy slated to be LTS?
[05:45] <evilxhwnd> jerbear, knetwork manager
[05:45] <gogeta> neowtkkin ubuntu also uses compression
[05:45] <slimjimflim> jerbear kismet
[05:46] <riotkittie> i need a good usb wifi adapter. if you have one that works with wpa/wpa2 out of the box on 7.04, or isnt a total nightmare to make work, i'd love love love to know brand, model, and revision. if it's an adapter using the ralink, please do not mention it
[05:46] <scguy318> Roffelkhoptre: supported cards for the Restricted drivers, Nvidia binary installer should support if that doesnt
[05:46] <gogeta> so the 1 cd is abought 2 gigs of data
[05:46] <Dr_Willis> fowlduck i dont think so.. thats the next release.
[05:46] <riotkittie> as ralink makes me want to cry like its just killed my puppy.
[05:46] <gogeta> i dont think suse does
[05:46] <usr13> riotkittie: why do you want a usb wifi adapter?
[05:46] <Roffelkhoptre> Where do  I find nvidia primary installer? Is that in Add/Remove Programs?
[05:47] <drizzyt> can anyone help me with a graphics driver issue
[05:47] <usr13> drizzyt: what is  your problem?
[05:47] <gogeta> we can try
[05:47] <Flannel> Roffelkhoptre: System > Restricted Drivers (or something like that)
[05:47] <riotkittie> usr13: because i would like to connect to my wireless network, maybe :P
[05:47] <Roffelkhoptre> Flannel: that's not opening for me for some reason.
[05:47] <scguy318> Flannel: his RDM reports that he doesnt need, prob cuz the restricted doesnt do his card
[05:47] <usr13> riotkittie: Well, why not a pci card?
[05:48] <scguy318> Roffelkhoptre: you get it from their website
[05:48] <Flannel> Roffelkhoptre: what card?
[05:48] <scguy318> Roffelkhoptre: its a binary file
[05:48] <scguy318> Flanne: he has Nvidia 8600 GT
[05:48] <riotkittie> usr13: because my slots are currently jam packed with sound, video, and eSATA goodness. sound, video, hard drive > wireless
[05:48] <NeowIkkin> also
[05:48] <usr13> riotkittie: or ethernet - wireless bridge
[05:48] <Roffelkhoptre> scguy: I got a file from the nvidia website: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run
[05:48] <riotkittie> usr13: ethernet's not an option
[05:48] <slimjimflim> usr13, you can put usb on an extension cord, riotkittie
[05:48] <NeowIkkin> is there like magic place where it explains the wonders of linux step by step?
[05:48] <scguy318> Roffelkhoptre: in Terminal, you would probably cd to where you dowloaded it, chmod +x NVIDIA*, then sudo ./NVIDIA*
[05:49] <magz0r> can anyone help me with my bootup problem?
[05:49] <Roffelkhoptre> ok, brb
[05:49] <riotkittie> slimjimflim: on an extension cord? what? ><
[05:49] <Flannel> Roffelkhoptre: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#seealso
[05:49] <usr13>  riotkittie: pcmcia?
[05:49] <scguy318> Neowlkkin: the Ubuntu docs I think
[05:49] <drizzyt> can anyone help me with a graphics driver issue
[05:49] <slimjimflim> NeowIkkin: tldp.org
[05:49] <scguy318> Neowlkkin: for shells, theres a ton, just google
[05:49] <NeowIkkin> thats the point
[05:49] <britt> i'm missing something, cups has the printer shared, but i cant locate it on any networked computer using Windows or even OS X
[05:49] <jerbear> does anyone increase the transmit power of their wireless router? is it safe?
[05:49] <usr13>  riotkittie: This computer has no ethernet port?
[05:49] <NeowIkkin> i have no idea what shells are
[05:49] <slimjimflim> NeowIkkin: or "man <someCommand>"
[05:50] <drizzyt> can anyone help me with a graphics driver problem?
[05:50] <scguy318> Neowlkkin: a shell is the Terminal program that takes in input and commands
[05:50] <britt> jerbear: actually, Ive seen the signal actually get worse. It *IS* louder, but more staticy
[05:50] <usr13> riotkittie: Does this computer you are working on have an ethernet port?
[05:50] <scguy318> Neowlkkin: there's more power to it than crappy Windows CLI
[05:50] <Kr0ntab> !ask
[05:50] <riotkittie> usr13: this computer does have an ethernet port...
[05:50] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:51] <slimjimflim> riotkittie, if you use usb, you can put it on usb extension cord(s), and take it out a window or whatever for a better signal
[05:51] <NeowIkkin> scguy318:  exactly! thats why i wanna find out
[05:51] <riotkittie> but i can't [won't]  go wired.
[05:51] <usr13>  riotkittie: Then use an ethernet / wireless bridge.
[05:51] <jerbear> britt: i'm getting about 88% signal... is it worth pursuing?
[05:51] <riotkittie> slimjimflim: i don't need a better signal
[05:51] <NeowIkkin> but the TLDP.org seems to sufice.
[05:51] <dwaren> my laptop's screen is 1024x768. I want it to be at 1280x1024 when it's docked and using my external 17" monitor. how do i do this?
[05:51] <NeowIkkin> again guys. you rock thanks.
[05:51] <riotkittie> usr13: that would require a cable running into my ethernet port, right?
[05:51] <scguy318> dwaren: probably sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh, after you backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:51] <usr13> riotkittie: Yes.
[05:51] <eck> jerbear: i think about 50% signal is considered full strength
[05:51] <riotkittie> usr13: not happening.
[05:52] <usr13> riotkittie: Why not?
[05:52] <jerbear> eck: say what? are you kidding?
[05:52] <dwaren> scguy318, thanks, but what exactly does 'phigh' do?
[05:52] <marx2k>  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[05:52] <eck> jerbear: that's the amount of signal the protocol needs to operate at full speed
[05:52] <marx2k> dwaren: just reconfigures the very basics

[05:52] <dwaren> ok, I'll try it, thanks scguy318 and marx2k
[05:52] <usr13> riotkittie: Why would  you not want a network cable plugged into the eithernet port?
[05:52] <jerbear> eck: so 88% is not worth pursuing?
[05:52] <ramzzz> my usb flash drive is not being detected.  any clues?  it's a 2gb UltraProducts
[05:52] <riotkittie> usr13: because i dont have an extra cable. and my current setup would not allow for it anyway.  and if it did, i would not be inquiring about wireless usb, as i'd have the ability to use wired internet, and have no need :P
[05:53] <drizzyt> can someone please help me with an nvidia driver issue?
[05:53] <marx2k> ramzz: look at the debug info by running dmesg
[05:53] <eck> jerbear: i don't think so... if you're concerned you should test how much throughput you can get
[05:53] <marx2k> see what it says when you plug it in

[05:55] <riotkittie> usr13: uhm. no. not really. and even if i did, i don't think i'd see the point. no offense to you.
[05:55] <riotkittie> let me elaborate.

[05:57] <usr13>  riotkittie Ethernet-to-wireless bridge connects directly to a single device via an Ethernet port, and then provides a wireless connection to an access point.

[06:04] <riotkittie> slimjimflim: the ubuntu wiki mentions my device and whoever tested it mentioned at least wpa but that goes back to breezy. i'm supposed to be able to get wpa2 going with the rt2x00 drivers but i have yet to succeed with a compile
[06:04] <riotkittie> which is why i'm looking for a new device
[06:04] <Poul|Raider> ye eck, not sure it means much as it should not parse over 20mb files and works fine for that
[06:04] <marx2k> drizzyt: I would suggest first trying just the restricted drivers on ubuntu before using NVidia's binary drivers
