[06:40] <yallmo> Anyone that know what i can do if the system stops on the "Starting hotplug subsystem" in the boot?
[06:40] <sarek> hi
[06:40] <mbgb14> treb0r: youch - gentoo can be quite difficult.
[06:41] <usound> mbgb14, thanx, I guess its working now (maybe start over but not as bad as update-manager - "231 packages could not be installed, bla bla bla")
[06:41] <arnau> can anyone help me with ethernet problems after upgradin from breezy?
[06:41] <mbgb14> arnau: dont ask permission to ask a question - just ask the question
[06:41] <arnau> ok
[06:41] <mbgb14> usound: no problem, glad that helped :)
[06:41] <treb0r> mbgb14: difficult but rewarding. i used to think ubuntu was for real beginners. how wrong i was...
[06:42] <usound> arnau, what are your problems?
[06:42] <treb0r> ubuntu seems to be what linux has been promising to be for years
[06:42] <sarek> I just upgraded from 5.10 to 6.60 ... worked fine for my desktop PC, but my Notebook (IBM Thinkpad t23) refuses to start with the new kernel. The old kernel still works for booting, but no modules are loaded (sound, wlan etc) Can anyone help me?
[06:42] <POVaddct> treb0r: right
[06:42] <tubbie> How do I set gnome to display the border only when moving windows?
[06:42] <lasjfl> i need some help, i am trying to install dapper to a SATA RAID 0, I used this http://www.ubuntu-in.org/wiki/SATA_RAID_Howto and this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FakeRaidHowto - and the process seems to go fine
[06:42] <mbgb14> treb0r: yeah i know what you mean. actually its not until recently that i tried ubuntu ... i had 5.10 and i hated it .. seriously, it pissed me off... ugly and unfunctional. then i loaded up 6.06 with EasyUbuntu, and wow - -- i havent stopped using it.
[06:43] <NoUse> sarek how did you upgrade the notebook?
[06:43] <arnau> when I write ifconfig in the console i only get a lo interface, and i also have a eth which is not running. Does anyone know why?
[06:43] <lasjfl> but when i reboot and get to the installed version on the raid, i have only 5 options in the administration menu, sudo doesnt do anything (and after looking sudousers or whatever that file is is blank) and sound doesnt work
[06:43] <sarek> via gnome's update manager. Just as I did the PC
[06:43] <NoUse> sarek do you have access to the console of the laptop now?
[06:44] <usound> arnau, check out the /etc/network/interfaces file and see if your eth0 or whatever is there
[06:44] <sarek> NoUse: at the moment the notebook runs with the old kernel (here I have access, yes) with the new kernel it hangs after saying "unpacking kernel"
[06:45] <iratsu> my friend rebooted and suddenly lost internet access. what can he do about this?
[06:45] <arnau> usound, eth0 is there
[06:45] <NoUse> sarek run 'sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade' first
[06:45] <sarek> NoUse: neither apt-get dist-upgrade nor apt-get upgrade want to install anything
[06:45] <NoUse> sarek ok
[06:45] <chrones> hello
[06:46] <dkr> the "changes" tab/textarea at the bottom of update-manager is blank for every package I select.  Is this a bug or just a (very important) missing feature?
[06:46] <sarek> NoUse: are there any known issues with the 2.6.15-23 kernel and IBM Notebboks or any chipsets?
[06:46] <tubbie> How do I set gnome to display the border only when moving windows?
[06:46] <NoUse> sarek not that I know of,
[06:46] <chrones> in trouble with apt-get update just installed dapper using a local repository "404 NON-EXISTENT BACKEND" it gives me the link of the file it can't find (Packages.gz) when I put this into firefox it asks me to download the file... any ideas please?
[06:46] <dkr> I hope we aren't expected to just update everything blindly without knowing what the changes are. :)
[06:47] <NoUse> sarek try 'sudo apt-get --reinstall linux-image.2.6.15-23-l7
[06:47] <usound> arnau, is it using dhcp
[06:47] <NoUse> sarek or whatever version you are using
[06:47] <sarek> kk, one second
[06:47] <tabas> ola
[06:47] <arnau> usound, yes
[06:48] <tabas> porque se van
[06:48] <usound> arnau, you could try the following, there is a line starting with auto, it probably says 'auto lo'; add eth0 to it so it becomes 'auto lo eth0'. Its worth a try I guess.
[06:48] <sarek> NoUse: lol ... that seems to be the problem ... I just did a dpkg -l linux* and it shows me that the linux*-k7 packages are installed. But it's an intel CPU

[06:50] <orbin> p_masho: iptables. it's built into the kernel iirc.  you can use firestarter as a frontend
[06:50] <sarek> but it seems to be somehting strange with the update-manager then ... is there any place where I can report this (as a possible byg)?

[07:04] <dkr> the "changes" tab/textarea at the bottom of update-manager is blank for every package I select.  Is this a bug or a missing feature or I am misunderstanding how it is supposed to work?
[07:05] <[Ex0r] > marrakech, there is no root user. You use sudo and the password you assigned your setup user

[07:07] <dfr> Hi, which config files has the setting which forces refresh rate for a resolution?
[07:07] <orbin> chrones: well the errors say something about backend, not cannot find file or anything like that

[07:08] <[Ex0r] > something is weird
[07:08] <wastrel> dkr:  hm i dunno the relation between synaptic & update manager- i don't usually use any of the gui package management tools :]   still use apt-get generally
[07:08] <dkr> orbin: when I select the individual packages available for update it says ni the textarea "downloading changes..." or similar to that, then the area becomes blank.
[07:08] <zquirM> I'm running Ubuntu server.. no GUI, no X.. how can I select packages ?
[07:08] <zquirM> is there anything that uses ncurses?
[07:08] <LjL> !aptitude
[07:08] <ubotu> aptitude is another front-end to apt, like apt-get, adept and Synaptic.  Unlike them, aptitude remembers what dependencies were installed with a package and can remove them if you uninstall. It also has a (somewhat buggy) text-mode interface.
[07:08] <MonsieurBon> hello
[07:08] <dfr> LjL: yep, I've been playing with it. Basically, I want to enable 1280x1024, but I think monitor supports it only for 60Hz.... and ignores the 1280x1024 comment in the "mode" section
[07:08] <zquirM> Is the text-mode really so buggy?
[07:09] <MonsieurBon> does anybody know dmg2iso.pl? Does it recquire any libraries or tools?
[07:09] <LjL> zquirM: never actually used it. people say it is.
[07:09] <wastrel> zquirM:  dselect
[07:09] <blenda> zquirM: dselect isn't buggy
[07:09] <LjL> zquirM: i prefer the command line
[07:09] <Flannel> zquirM: no.  you just sometimes get artifacts laying around if you don't have your encoding set to unicode
[07:09] <usound> arnau, right... (just remember, I probably know as much as you, so I'm just *trying* to help somebody)
[07:09] <DaSkreech> Tata guys
[07:09] <orbin> dkr: have you done a 'reload' in synaptic/aptitude update?  maybe it needs to be refreshed
[07:09] <wastrel> the dselect interface isn't terribly user-friendly :]
[07:09] <dkr> wastrel: well, yeah, I can obviously find the changelogs myself,  it's not a big deal for me.  My concern is only to fix this for other folks if it is a bug.
[07:09] <Flannel> zquirM: the bugginess is just in the display, not anything that'll mess up your system
[07:09] <zquirM> I want something like dselect
[07:09] <heyHowsITgoin> is there a terminal or some way i can view over  thousands of lines , it saves the lines, i have aterm set up as this big number but it dosnt save that many lines, i have a lot of fonts to view
[07:09] <dfr> orbin: why would I dothat? I'm only editting the config?
[07:09] <zquirM> I came from dselect for server boxes
[07:10] <LjL> dfr: not sure what you're saying... you want 1280x1024 at 60Hz, but X is trying to use a higher refresh rate, which your monitor can't take?
[07:10] <dkr> orbin: I did the update-manager version of reload which is the "check" button.  trying synaptic now
[07:10] <Tomze> dfr: 2 sec,,
[07:10] <dfr> LjL: yes, I think that's the problem
[07:10] <arnau> usound, thanks
[07:10] <Klowner> heyHowsITgoin: ls | less ?
[07:10] <blenda> i installed gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly but mplayer still can't play mp3 files. why is that?
[07:10] <orbin> dfr: i'm not talking to you :)
[07:10] <zquirM> how can I set the console font ubuntu uses?
[07:10] <zquirM> I want like 132x60 or whatever.
[07:10] <[Ex0r] > blenda- install mpg321 as well
[07:10] <heyHowsITgoin> Klowner: xlsfonts
[07:11] <Das|Sleeping> I can't seem to change the permissions of mount devices, so is there a way to mount something with 777?
[07:11] <LjL> dfr: so, in sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, have you told it that your monitor is capable of up to 1280x1024@60Hz (you'll get asked if you choose the "intermediate" experience mode, or whatever it's called)
[07:11] <orbin> Das|Sleeping: fstab?
[07:11] <dfr> LjL: I could do that.... but shouldnt I be able to manually edit the xorg.conf to do that setting? or dpg-reconfigure amends other config files as well?
[07:11] <dkr> orbin: aha, synaptic fails to get changelogs also
[07:12] <blenda> [Ex0r] : it still doesn't work
[07:12] <dkr> Failed to fetch the changelog for libnss3
[07:12] <dkr> URI was: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox_1.firefox1.5.dfsg+<IP_ADDRESS>-0ubuntu6.06/changelog
[07:12] <Das|Sleeping> orbin: A tumbnail, and a mp3 player
[07:12] <Some_Person> How do I use gphoto2? I typed in --auto-detect, and it did detect my camera (Intel Pocket PC Camera)
[07:12] <[Ex0r] > !mp3
[07:12] <ubotu> rumour has it, mp3 is a patented format; to enable mp3 capability see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[07:12] <Tomze> dfr: if your hoprizontal and vertikal refreshrate is not corect in xorg.conf the xserver will crash or ignore the settings for 1280x1024 and so on
[07:12] <Klowner> heyHowsITgoin: then try xlsfonts | less
[07:12] <Some_Person> !gphoto2
[07:12] <ubotu> Do they come in packets of five. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Some_Person
[07:12] <LjL> dfr: you can edit it manually. but changing the refresh manually means writing a new modeline, which is not terribly easy. and that's what dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is intended to do anyway: avoid having to edit xorg.conf manually
[07:12] <jdmpike> can people help me out with my xserver stuff?
[07:12] <zquirM> What is a "virtual package" ?
[07:12] <Some_Person> !gphoto
[07:12] <ubotu> What? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Some_Person
[07:12] <blenda> [Ex0r] : yes, all that page says is "Install the package gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly."
[07:12] <dfr> Tomze: I'm pretty sure they're set correct, I checked them on my monitor from google
[07:12] <hawkes> YOU AHVE RECIEVED A VIRUS
[07:12] <jdmpike> I am having some issues playing games now that I have XGL setup
[07:12] <wastrel> zquirM:  install the svgatextmode package
[07:12] <dfr> LjL: gotcha.. lemme try
[07:12] <jdmpike> Also, eclipse doesn't startup correctly...
[07:13] <orbin> Das|Sleeping: i meant have a look at the /etc/fstab file.  you can set mount permission w/ uid iirc
[07:13] <frogzoo> LjL: sometimes just specing horizsync & vertrefresh is al lthat's necessary
[07:13] <Some_Person> How do I use gphoto2? I typed in --auto-detect, and it did detect my camera (Intel Pocket PC Camera)
[07:13] <dsewnr_> Could somebody tell me which editor support FTP, such as the "UltraEdit" on windows.
[07:13] <LjL> zquirM: it's a package that doesn't really contain anything, but which just lists other packages as dependencies. virtual packages are handy for things like "i want to install every Gnome app that is officially supported by Ubuntu" (that would be similar ubuntu-desktop)
[07:13] <blenda> Das|Sleeping: never use 777, it's insecure
[07:13] <Hexidigital_> hawkes:: ???
[07:13] <[Ex0r] > hmm, seems like rio doesnt support linux operating systems :|
[07:13] <Das|Sleeping> blenda: How so?
[07:13] <blenda> Das|Sleeping: c
[07:13] <hawkes> ewhats the best torrent site
[07:13] <hawkes> ?
[07:13] <LjL> frogzoo: if you know them, yes. otherwise, specifying the highest display mode with the highest frequency that you know is supported can be just fine
[07:14] <blenda> Das|Sleeping: cause then every user on your system has read write and execute access to the files?
[07:14] <frogzoo> !torrent
[07:14] <orbin> hawkes: #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:14] <dkr> and thi sis the correct url.  I can't see the difference.  heh:  http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox_1.5.dfsg+<IP_ADDRESS>-0ubuntu6.06/changelog
[07:14] <Das|Sleeping> blenda: That's not an issue in my case
[07:15] <dkr> ah, it's the firefox_1 part
[07:15] <dfr> LjL: just ran it.... I dont see any modeline comments in it... the config looks awefully close to what I had
[07:15] <thomas> Can I be helped with OOo?
[07:15] <dkr> for smoe reason synaptic and update-manager build the url incorretly
[07:15] <[Ex0r] > anyone here have a rio mp3 player ?
[07:15] <Hexidigital_> thomas:: what the problem?
[07:15] <Das|Sleeping> orbin, I see nothing in fstab about permissions
[07:15] <Some_Person> How do I use gphoto2? I typed in --auto-detect, and it did detect my camera (Intel Pocket PC Camera)
[07:15] <dfr> LjL: except the sync settings are off
[07:16] <zquirM> How can I change the console's font/size ?
[07:16] <hawkes> virus alert goin round every1]
[07:16] <zquirM> like svgatextmode did...
[07:16] <blenda> Das|Sleeping: see "Question: I have a file i can't read/write/execute with the user i want!" at http://kreiger.linuxgods.com/kiki/?Bad+linux+advice
[07:16] <LjL> dfr: that's what it's supposed to change, the HorizSync and VertRefresh. perhaps try restarting X and see?
[07:16] <hawkes> dont us ethe V on your keyboard
[07:16] <dkr> can someone else try to download a changelog with synaptic in dapper to verify the problem is not my own system?
[07:16] <arnau> usound, I think I will format and install ubuntu again, thank you for ur help
[07:16] <disinterested_pe> i cant get my webcam to work any suggestions?
[07:16] <LjL> hawkes: why?
[07:16] <hawkes> d*nt use the O in ur keyb*ard
[07:16] <Hexidigital_> hawkes:: do you have a problem?
[07:16] <frogzoo> Some_Person: I don't know - google probly does though
[07:16] <LjL> hawkes: this is the Ubuntu support channel. please go elsewhere for general chatting or funny stuff
[07:17] <dfr> LjL: I'm pretty sure the sync rates are actually off.... I have ViewSonic p655, and some random page tells the rates to be 30-70 and 50-160... whereas it finds them a bit lower...
[07:17] <frogzoo> hawkes: Y n*t ?
[07:17] <dfr> LjL: and I am runnign with correct
[07:17] <dfr> LjL: but I guess lemme try
[07:17] <void^> hawkes: i admire your sense of humour. it's so lovely .. plain. :]
[07:17] <hawkes> ibecause y*u ger a virus
[07:18] <LjL> dfr: it won't guess the exact rates, but it should guess rates that work. have you actually tried putting the ones from the manual into xorg.conf? that should work, as well
[07:18] <thomas> hi hexidigital
[07:18] <dkr> ok, actually it gets the changelogs ok for all but libnss and libnspr, must be a typo in those packages
[07:18] <Hexidigital_> hi thomas
[07:18] <LjL> hawkes: no, you don't.
[07:18] <Equin> How do I throw away the .deb packages that ubuntu put on my harddisk upon installation? Or where are they located? I need some extra space on this 2gig hdd
[07:18] <LjL> Equin: sudo apt-get clean
[07:18] <dfr> LjL: nope, same problem....
[07:18] <Equin> thank you alot
[07:18] <jacks> how do i access the contents on the virtual drive i created with VMware
[07:19] <frogzoo> Equin: /var/cache/apt
[07:19] <thomas> i installed the syriac and hebrew keyboard
[07:19] <thomas>   (in system-> etc.
[07:19] <thomas> ) but when i write in OOo, the cursor goes but no letters appear
[07:19] <thomas> t. nothing in the options menus
[07:19] <hawkes> u gert a virus if u use the O *on ur keyboard
[07:19] <Hexidigital_> hawkes:: stop it now, or you will be banned from this channel
[07:19] <Guard] [an> please i need urgent help. is there a way to unerase files ???
[07:19] <Guard] [an> i did a rm by accident :(
[07:19] <LjL> dfr: then try the package "videogen" to generate modelines, perhaps, and good luck with that
[07:19] <dfr> LjL: basically, when I use the Preferences->Screww Resolution, I dont have the 1280x1024 option and the refresh rate is locked at 75Hz
[07:19] <thomas> why banned?
[07:19] <Xamusk> what is the easiest way to set up a virtual server in ubuntu (for research purposes)
[07:19] <LjL> dfr: the preferences are often worthless in my experience ;)
[07:19] <frogzoo> Guard] [an: if you're using ext3, no, the file's gone
[07:20] <Equin> won't he be able to recover itwith special software?
[07:20] <Hexidigital_> thomas:: because he spamming
[07:20] <dfr> LjL: well... I'd certainly be happy to know what exact configs they change, but I aint 1337 enough yet :(
[07:20] <thomas> no, i pasted
[07:20] <frogzoo> Guard] [an: if you deleted with nautilues, you'll find it in ~/.trash
[07:20] <LjL> thomas: because this is the Ubuntu support channel, not a place to fake virus warnings or to make some uninteresting humour
[07:20] <Hexidigital_> thomas:: not you
[07:20] <orbin> heh, he used three Os in his last sentence
[07:20] <thomas> ok
[07:20] <zquirM> What's the difference between a Task and a Virtual Package?
[07:20] <thomas> so, do you have an idea?
[07:20] <[Ex0r] > why can I not compile anything from source with ubuntu ?
[07:20] <LjL> dfr: me neither. i think there's a modeline generator on the web somewhere, too, that's perhaps a bit easier to use than videogen
[07:21] <Subhuman> [Ex0r] , get "sudo apt-get install build-essential"
[07:21] <Subhuman> then you can compile anything
[07:21] <Hexidigital_> thomas:: i'm unsure about international keyboard sets... as far as your hebrew keyboard setup, i cannot help :( sorry
[07:21] <LjL> dfr: try this http://www.dkfz.de/spec/linux/modeline/
[07:21] <Guard] [an> frogzoo i'm using reiserfs
[07:21] <Equin> Is it possible to resize my ext3 partition to something smaller so that I can make a fat32 partition and install windows 98, creating a dualboot config?
[07:21] <thomas> ok
[07:21] <thomas> thx
[07:21] <[Ex0r] > Equin you can try partition magic
[07:21] <frogzoo> Guard] [an: methinks there are reiser file recovery tools - if your'e desperate
[07:22] <LjL> Equin: gparted
[07:22] <Equin> ok, thanks
[07:22] <frogzoo> Guard] [an: quick google turned up this: http://www.antrix.net/journal/techtalk/reiserfs_data_recovery_howto.comments
[07:23] <Guard] [an> thx
[07:23] <Guard] [an> gonna read it
[07:23] <Drake_> what are things to check to why a box went offline and how to get it back online without rebooting it?
[07:24] <gavagai> Drake_, I am not sure how to check why, but to get it back online automatically you can run a script from cron to check the network and restart it when offline
[07:24] <Hexidigital_> gotta go... have a great day everyone
[07:24] <dfr> LjL: hrmph.... it tells me to set horizontal refresh rate to 206.64 KHz and the site says my monitor supports only 30-70Khz?
[07:25] <mantono> how do I load a dbus-session? gnome-power-manager complains about it not being loaded (I do not use gdm).
[07:26] <LjL> dfr: uh, you sure? i tried 1280x1024 (SXGA), 60Hz, and it seems to give something quite different from that
[07:26] <LjL> # V-freq: 60.00 Hz  // h-freq: 63.73 KHz
[07:26] <LjL> Modeline "1280x1024" 109.62  1280 1336 1472 1720  1024 1024 1026 1062
[07:26] <dfr> LjL: haha...  And am having trouble, ' $ su ' to the root always gives an authentication failure, and its the right password, it works for everything else! any ideas? workarounds?
[07:27] <LjL> !root
[07:27] <ubotu> Direct login as the root user is disabled in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[07:27] <Dewbie> ok then
[07:27] <dfr> LjL: I know.... I'd prefer 75Hz, of course... but I'd rather have the 1280x1024 resolution.... =/
[07:27] <Dewbie> lol
[07:28] <dfr> LjL: I think on windows I could make it run in that resolution and 75Hz..i thought
[07:28] <Dewbie> dfr you can't have both?
[07:28] <LjL> dfr: couldn't you settle for 1152x968? was a decent resolution for me, and it might be usable at 70Hz or 75Hz on your monitor
[07:28] <dfr> Dewbie: I have Viewsonic p655.... a random googled site claims that it can only run 1280x1024 ad 60Hz =/
[07:28] <Dewbie> Id love to be able to have even 72htz
[07:28] <bulltitan> is there any difference in any way if i install the latest nforce2 drivers from nvidia's website?
[07:28] <zquirM> Where in aptitude is MySQL?
[07:28] <Dewbie> but its 60 only
[07:28] <Dewbie> no choice
[07:28] <LjL> Dewbie: just try putting in a modeline for 70Hz. might work
[07:28] <Dewbie> lol
[07:28] <_jason> bulltitan: probably easier to use the on in the repos
[07:28] <shylock> after upgrading to dapper i get the following error when trying to start openoffice:[fglrx]  API ERROR: could not register entrypoint for FramebufferTexture1DEXT     and like 100 rows with similar errors, anyone experienced this?
[07:28] <someRandomGuy> why is it that all of my custom installed fonts show up in say KDE when i do xlsfonts, but they do not in Fluxbox when i open up a term and do xlsfonts
[07:29] <Dewbie> it won't
[07:29] <Dewbie> tried
[07:29] <NoUse> zquirM its called mysql-server
[07:29] <Dewbie> x server is very finicky
[07:29] <dfr> LjL: hrmph.. lemme try..... What would happen if I were to force monitor refresh rate out of what it is said it can handle?
[07:29] <Dewbie> with my machine
[07:29] <LjL> Dewbie: yes, sorry, i was actually addressing dfr about that. wrong nick
[07:29] <zquirM> Ah, under MISC
[07:29] <gavagai> dfr, maybe nothing, maybe you break it
[07:29] <Drake_> gavagai: when I run sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart it ok's it but still not online
[07:29] <bulltitan> thanks jason ,.. have you tryed to install the nvidia's one?and how did it go?
[07:29] <Dewbie> ahhh
[07:29] <LjL> dfr: if it's not a terribly old monitor (which doesn't sound like being), nothing bad. just an "Out of sync rate" warning on a black screen
[07:29] <Dewbie> god I love the fonts in ubuntu
[07:29] <[Ex0r] > grrr
[07:29] <someRandomGuy> why is it that all of my custom installed fonts show up in say KDE when i do xlsfonts, but they do not in Fluxbox when i open up a term and do xlsfonts
[07:30] <dfr> LjL: them lemme try forcing 1280 on 65Hz...
[07:30] <Dewbie> easier to read than the tahoma with cleartype
[07:30] <dfr> Ljl: *75
[07:30] <_jason> bulltitan: nope I've stuck to the repository one, let me send you the wiki page
[07:30] <bulltitan> ok
[07:30] <_jason> ubotu: tell bulltitan about nvidia
[07:30] <Dewbie> so next thing to fix
[07:30] <zquirM> how do I search for a package by name in aptitude?
[07:30] <Drake_> gavagai: it has only not had access today ... this box uptime is 13:28:14 up 5 days,  1:37,  3 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.05, 0.08
[07:31] <Dewbie> my video drivers
[07:31] <dfr> brb
[07:31] <_jason> zquirM: aptitude search
[07:31] <LjL> zquirM: apt-cache search name. aptitude search name works too, but doesn't search in the long descriptions
[07:31] <Flannel> zquirM: search at the top (f10 to get there)
[07:31] <viksa> i want to install limewire on ubuntu 6.06 any idea ?
[07:31] <LjL> zquirM: oh right sorry, you mean from the UI
[07:31] <Toge> hello
[07:31] <LjL> !limewire
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> !limewire
[07:31] <ubotu> first you need !java, then download the http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and unpack it. Then just run the runLime.sh file. Voila. Consider !frostwire as an alternative.
[07:32] <Dr_Willis> :)
[07:32] <Dr_Willis> I hear frostwire is much better
[07:32] <Toge> do you know a program to uncompress .ace?
[07:32] <Flannel> !tell viksa about limewir
[07:32] <viksa> !limewire
[07:32] <LjL> !info unace
[07:32] <ubotu> unace: (extract, test and view .ace archives), section universe/utils, is optional. Version: 1.2b-3 (dapper), Packaged size: 14 kB, Installed size: 80 kB
[07:32] <Gullstad> !linksys
[07:32] <ubotu> If you have a Linksys or Netgear router please get your firmware update
[07:32] <viksa> !limewire
[07:32] <ubotu> first you need !java, then download the http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and unpack it. Then just run the runLime.sh file. Voila. Consider !frostwire as an alternative.
[07:33] <Toge> i cant uncompress a .ace using unace, another programa?
[07:33] <Gullstad> What chipset is Linksys's wireless cards?
[07:33] <someRandomGuy> why is it that all of my custom installed fonts show up in say KDE when i do xlsfonts, but they do not in Fluxbox when i open up a term and do xlsfonts
[07:33] <Webby`> Hi
[07:33] <dfr> LjL: nope, dont think it helped..... I'm still running 1024x768 at 75Hz with no option to make it 1280 or somehow else amend my refresh rate
[07:33] <Webby`> Can somone help me get sound on my ubuntu install?
[07:33] <truz_`24> if you install a processor specifc kernel, hwo do you make apt use it when doing an update or etc?
[07:33] <lasjfl> i am trying to install dapper to RAID using the http://www.ubuntu-in.org/wiki/SATA_RAID_Howto#Install_the_base_system but dmraid keeps failing
[07:33] <NoUse> Gullstad depends on the version of the card, they change chipsets  all the time
[07:34] <Webby`> I get no sound and no sound card is detected
[07:34] <truz_`24> if a new kernel gets released, it defaults back to the plain kernel
[07:34] <Gullstad> NoUse: WMP54G
[07:34] <dfr> LjL: BTW, i think it was fine before I did the kernel upgrade
[07:34] <lasjfl> that is apt-get install dmraid fails
[07:34] <NoUse> Gullstad google around, I don' tknow off hand
[07:34] <LjL> dfr: uh, but you did select 1280x1024 from the dpkg-reconfigure didn't you? try leaving it as the *only* option selected (or remove all other modes from xorg.conf)
[07:34] <viksa> !java
[07:34] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Java and see also !javadebs
[07:34] <dfr> LjL: good call.. lemme see
[07:34] <Gullstad> NoUse: Ok, thanks anyways
[07:34] <lasjfl> it says.. invoke-rc.d: initscript dmraid, action "start" failed
[07:34] <lasjfl> dpkg: error processing dmraid (--configure)
[07:34] <orospakr> if I do apt-get source linux-source-2.6.15, will all the the ubuntu patches already be applied to that source tree?
[07:35] <chakra85> hi everyone
[07:35] <dkr> ok, here is a newb question, what commandline app do I use to play a .wav?  I see esd running but dapper has no esdplay command as I've used in other distros.  aplay works, but only if no other sound is playing
[07:35] <LjL> dfr: of course be ready to reach for a console, in case you get out-of-sync
[07:35] <[Ex0r] > if you don't have kde installed, and try running an app made for kde, will it still run? (For example, krioutil) It keeps telling me a misconfiguration in the X configuration
[07:35] <orospakr> so If I build and install it with the traditional make modules_install, etc., all of the ubu patches will be there?
[07:35] <Gullstad> !ralink 2500
[07:35] <LjL> dkr: try aplay
[07:35] <ubotu> I give up. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Gullstad
[07:35] <LjL> dkr: oh sorry
[07:35] <Gullstad> !RTLink 2500
[07:35] <ubotu> I don't know, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Gullstad
[07:35] <dfr> LjL: I'm not afraid of console at all, hehe :)
[07:36] <LjL> dkr: usr/bin/esdplay sound/esound-clients
[07:36] <NoUse> !tell Gullstad about ubotu
[07:36] <dkr> LjL: ah, awesome, thanks
[07:36] <samu> Where do you ask when a certain software will have a newer available version in the repos?
[07:36] <NoUse> !tell Gullstad about wireless
[07:37] <LjL> Samu: it won't until next Ubuntu release.
[07:37] <orospakr> !tell orospakr about ubotu
[07:37] <orospakr> oh. so that's what it is. :P
[07:37] <[Ex0r] > wow, kde is over 400 megs in size?
[07:37] <LjL> Samu: there's the Backports repository, if you feel like enabling it. then you can request for backports on the forums
[07:37] <chakra85> so i have to boxes: one winxp and one ubuntu. is there any way to play music on the xp box over my network? right now I have banshee / itunes, but i'd rather just play music through a samba share.
[07:37] <dkr> samu: you can ask me... and I wtill tell you:  Real Soon Now
[07:37] <someRandomGuy> why is it that all of my custom installed fonts show up in say KDE when i do xlsfonts, but they do not in Fluxbox when i open up a term and do xlsfonts, is there some service i need to put on fluxbox's startup file that starts when KDE starts?
[07:37] <hawkes> how do i join unbuntu offtopic
[07:38] <Drake_> is there a howto in troubleshooting the network connectivity of a box?
[07:38] <LjL> hawkes:   /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:38] <samu> Ok maybe I wasn't clear enough. When can I update to vim7 through the repos?
[07:38] <[Ex0r] > hawkes, - /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:38] <hawkes> thanks Ljl and Ex0r
[07:38] <Dr_Willis> !bluetooth
[07:38] <NoUse> samu probably when the next version of ubuntu comes out
[07:38] <ubotu> I guess bluetooth is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BluetoothSetup and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BluetoothRemote
[07:38] <dfr> LjL: hrmph... you know, I think it's a drivers problem...
[07:38] <dawson_> ok, i am getting really frustrated, i am new to this and getting a decently operating system is takeing me ages!!!!!
[07:38] <dfr> LjL: 'cause I amended nvidia to nv.... and I got tons of options.. including 1280x1024 at 60Hz....
[07:38] <Snellgrove> Drake_: searching the forums helped me a lot today :) I learnt a few commands, like i"p route" and "ip addr" which are good at telling you if you even have an IP Address!
[07:38] <LjL> dfr: what driver are you using?
[07:39] <samu> NoUse, Isn't that like after 6 months or something?
[07:39] <NoUse> samu yeah
[07:39] <LjL> dfr: well, i'm using nvidia and i'm at 1400x1050@75Hz ;-)
[07:39] <Flannel> samu: well, no.  october.
[07:39] <dfr> LjL: right now I turned on nv.. before I was using nvidia.... had to re-install it after kernel upgrade too
[07:39] <Dewbie> will linux clean my LCD for me?
[07:39] <NoUse> !vim7
[07:39] <ubotu> vim7 will be available in edgy
[07:39] <samu> So why is that. There's lots of other software getting updated regularly.
[07:39] <dawson_> how do you navigate through the file system in the terminal, say i want to 'go up a level' in dos you would cd.. how in terminal? thanks guys!
[07:39] <NoUse> samu only for securuty updates
[07:39] <bulltitan> seems like it makes no sense to install nforce drivers i feel that it will be a waste of time and it might screw something,... anyway thanks jason
[07:39] <Dewbie> damn fingerprints
[07:39] <Flannel> dawson_: same way.
[07:39] <Snellgrove> Yeah, Dewbie if you do sudo apt-get install tft-screen-cleaner   lol ;)
[07:40] <NoUse> samu otherwise it won't get updated
[07:40] <radar1976> Dewbie: yes but you need to put some elbow grease into it
[07:40] <radar1976> and a damp cloth
[07:40] <dawson_> when i try cd.. i get command not found
[07:40] <Drake_> Snellgrove: I have an ip address just don't have access to the gateway at the moment
[07:40] <Snellgrove> dawson_:  "cd .." ;)
[07:40] <chakra85> dawson, try cd /
[07:40] <chakra85> that will get you to root
[07:40] <chakra85> nm
[07:40] <LjL> Samu: not all distributions have the same update policy. with Ubuntu, you get security fixes and major bug fixes. you also get some backports if you're ready for the additional risk
[07:40] <Flannel> dawson_: oh, you need spaces.  cd ..  (no idea why dos allows no spaces, it shouldnt)
[07:40] <lasjfl> i am trying to install dapper to RAID using the http://www.ubuntu-in.org/wiki/SATA_RAID_Howto#Install_the_base_system but dmraid keeps failing
[07:40] <radar1976> Drake_: route add default gw <gatewayIP>
[07:40] <lasjfl> that is apt-get install dmraid fails
[07:40] <lasjfl> it says.. invoke-rc.d: initscript dmraid, action "start" failed
[07:41] <scott> dawson - type cd<space><dot><dot>
[07:41] <lasjfl> dpkg: error processing dmraid (--configure)
[07:41] <Echelon-H> anyone knows whaty languages do anjuta supports?
[07:41] <lasjfl> anyone have any ideas whats going on?
[07:41] <dfr> LjL: what kernel version you running?
[07:41] <iratsu> my friend gets the following in dmesg and his internet connection doesn't work: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
[07:41] <LjL> dfr: dapper's default, 2.6.15
[07:41] <dawson_> thanks guys!
[07:41] <LjL> dfr: 2.6.15-23-k7
[07:41] <Dewbie> hmm I wanna update to the newest version i.e. 6.06 how might I do this?
[07:41] <LjL> !upgrade

[07:42] <dfr> LjL: ok.. so it's exactly same as me (I'm also running k7)
[07:42] <dfr> LjL: did you have to do anything special about nvidia drivers after upgrade?
[07:42] <dfr> LjL: which was a few weeks back?

[07:43] <bulltitan> haaaaa so much for nothing nvidia's nforce only has audio and network drivers :P uffff
[07:43] <Drake_> radar1976: thank you most graciously....is there a process to go through to find out why the gateway address had been dropped?
[07:43] <chakra85> i asked this question a couple of minutes ago, but not one answered so here goes again. so i have to boxes: one winxp and one ubuntu. is there any way to play music on the xp box over my network? right now I have banshee / itunes, but i'd rather just play music through a samba share.
[07:43] <nalioth> LjL: it's done
[07:43] <LjL> dfr: i only installed dapper recently. no, nothing special -- however, since the Breezy times, i always had some problems with refresh rate. specifically, it normally worked, but sometimes it booted to 60Hz (especially upon reboot), and then it kept booting at 60Hz. after a few attempts, it eventually got back to 75Hz. never realized why this was
[07:43] <NoUse> samu this is not supported by ubuntu but you can try it, http://www.freshnet.org/debian/dapper/vim7/
[07:43] <Luke> i'm trying to compile an app but all the M4 macro checks are failing in autogen.sh. Is there a list of basic tools that I need to compile with automake?
[07:44] <LjL> nalioth: yeah... didn't see it among the whole mess, sorry
[07:44] <dfr> LjL: hrmph... 'cause besides other things, my twinview doesnt work correctly since the update

[07:44] <PiMpTaCuLoUs> does anyone know how to set up a 32 bit browser on a 64 bit Ubuntu install??
[07:44] <dfr> LjL: that's why I'm sorta blaming the drivers atm, since they dont perform as they should.. and it seems that thos resolution restriction is linked to drivers too
[07:44] <Lpadmin> Am I able to be heard here?
[07:44] <pradeep> hi Lpadmin
[07:44] <chakra85> hi Lpadmin

[07:45] <priest_> anyone help me get synaptic working so i can freaking install some packages hahah
[07:45] <samu> NoUse, thanks ill check it out.
[07:45] <Lpadmin> Okay, because I heard that you had to be registered to talk in this channel.
[07:45] <NoUse> priest_ you don't *need* synaptic to install stuff
[07:45] <NoUse> priest_ what is synaptic doing?
[07:45] <LjL> Lpadmin: no, you need to be registered for private messages
[07:45] <priest_> NoUse: i know, but makes life easier
[07:45] <priest_> rather than using apt-get
[07:46] <NoUse> priest_ I always use apt-get :-)
[07:46] <NoUse> priest_ what is synaptic doing?
[07:46] <Dewbie> hmmm
[07:46] <chakra85> NoUse, but if you use apt-get, how do you search for new packages?

[07:47] <priest_> is there a lib of GTK i am missing
[07:47] <NoUse> priest_ what happens if you run it from the System->Admin
[07:47] <LjL> priest_: not sudo, but gksudo
[07:47] <sarek> I just upgraded ubuntu from 5.10 to 6.06 - but now I cannot install ndiwrapper any more ... module-assistant fails and I cant figure out where exactly. Can anyone help, please?
[07:47] <priest_> i dont have it fromthere so i added to panel then it says
[07:47] <someRandomGuy> priest_: gksudo synaptic
[07:47] <priest_> Not runing as root
[07:47] <priest_> The application will run in read-only mode. You will not be able to change the package database.

[07:48] <Drake_> I have had my box going down about once every two weeks and I can't seem to figure out why I have been rebooting it when I couldn't diganosis it right away and not I am tired of rebooting it all the time, what would be the process of diagnosising why network connectivity would be going down?
[07:48] <LjL> priest_: perhaps try "sudo apt-get --reinstall install synaptic"
[07:48] <scwizard> @sarek
[07:48] <Dewbie> hmmm can't update until I get all the latest updates to my system
[07:48] <scwizard> have you checked the forums at all?
[07:48] <LjL> priest_: that might bring it into the menu
[07:49] <Dewbie> lol
[07:49] <NoUse> priest_ I would run 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' as well
[07:49] <Dewbie> god Im confused
[07:49] <priest_> LjL: i will try
[07:49] <Dewbie> heh
[07:49] <scwizard> I think I saw something there
[07:49] <priest_> thanks guys
[07:49] <sarek> scwizard: I am trying to find help there, sure - but so fra no luck :-( can you tell me which forum to check?
[07:50] <Snellgrove> Lo
[07:50] <sylvain> hi, I'd like to know the name, if any, of a builtin package that allows to adjust the bass/treble for audio playback
[07:50] <scwizard> @sarek lemme check 1 sec
[07:50] <sylvain> couldn't find this in the volume control so i've been wondering
[07:50] <Snellgrove> there's one already built in, I think sylvain
[07:51] <LjL> sylvain: does your sound card *have* an equalizer?
[07:51] <Snellgrove> I might be wrong though, hang on a minute
[07:51] <Snellgrove> oh I think I'am wrong, can't find one..  oh well :(
[07:52] <debit> how about alsamixer?
[07:52] <sylvain> LjL I think it does, or maybe it worked under windows before thanks to software emulation
[07:52] <scwizard> @sarak wait it won't install
[07:52] <sylvain> alsamixer?
[07:52] <scwizard> @hmm, for a while I thought ubuntu came with it
[07:52] <debit> just type the command
[07:52] <scwizard> it doesn't
[07:52] <LjL> sylvain: i think both the Gnome mixer and alsamixer are *supposed* to show bass/treble sliders, if the sound system finds support
[07:53] <sylvain> okay i'm installing it, it's worth the try i guess
[07:53] <scwizard> so you had it installed before you upgraded?
[07:53] <LjL> sylvain: alsamixer is installed by default on my Kubuntu
[07:53] <sarek> scwizard: yes that's right
[07:53] <dfr> LjL: did you use drivers from nvidia.com or from synpatic?
[07:53] <LjL> dfr: synaptic
[07:53] <dfr> LjL: k.. that's the difference... I'm using cedega, so I need to be more specialized, hehe
[07:53] <LjL> dfr: (well i don't use synaptic, but i used the APT packages anyway)
[07:54] <dfr> LjL: well yea.. same thing, basically
[07:54] <sylvain> LjL, and you've got bass/treble control ?
[07:54] <sarek> scwizard: the packjage name is ndiswrapper-source
[07:54] <LjL> sylvain: no. but my built-in card doesn't support it, and it did not in windows either
[07:54] <Snellgrove> man, I knew the ubuntu forums were busy, but there's nearly 1000 viewing!! :O
[07:54] <gteppel> I run a linux server on my home LAN (it acts as a internet router/firewall). I can connect to my work network using VPN, however I often find myself on a wireless network that only allows 80/443 outbount, to get around this so I could still connect to my linux box I ran sshd off of 443. I've been able to tunnel many services using SSH tunelling, except VPN because it uses other protocols besides TCP/UDP, I think PPTP VPN uses the GRE Protocol, I'm not su
[07:54] <gteppel> re what IPSEC VPN uses. Anyways does anybody see a way I can connect to my work's VPN within this restricted wireless network?
[07:54] <sylvain> okay, in that case it must mean my built-in card doesn't support it as well (i'm using a laptop)
[07:55] <[Ex0r] > i just installed kde, I hope it doesn't set itself as default in the x config
[07:55] <[Ex0r] > oh, I wanted to ask.. at bootup, my screen resolution is very high and everything is very small. How can I set the default resolution for the login screen ?
[07:55] <LjL> sylvain: though i've never heard that Windows emulated equalizer settings. perhaps your card is just not being recognized correctly by ubuntu
[07:55] <sarek> scwizard: I just did a reinstall ... the ndiswarpper packages do install fine. It's the build with module-assistant that fails
[07:55] <sylvain> i'll need to fetch some info on the exact nature of my generic sound card
[07:56] <LjL> [Ex0r] : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will allow you to choose system-wide resolutions
[07:56] <sylvain> well thanks for answering, it's appreciated
[07:56] <LjL> [Ex0r] : kde will not be default until you set it to be default
[07:56] <[Ex0r] > very nice :)
[07:56] <Drake_> gteppel: I am guessing that you could use OpenVPN as a solution
[07:56] <Snellgrove> gteppel, don't know unless you can somehow create a tunnel to your linux server on your home LAN, which can run on the port the WiFi allows
[07:56] <[Ex0r] > I think i'm going to go with fluxbox once I get more familiar with ubuntu ?
[07:56] <syllogism> can anyone think of any obvious advantage of MySQL over PostgreSQL or the other way around?
[07:56] <[Ex0r] > - ?
[07:57] <Snellgrove> IS MSN down?
[07:57] <garryfre> And you should be seeing a sessions drop down where you can change your default gui from or to kde or gnome or set it to just use your last choice.
[07:57] <Snellgrove> or is my GAIM just knackered :D
[07:57] <LjL> syllogism: postgres: actual SQL support :-) MySQL: more widespread
[07:57] <LjL> and possibly faster
[07:57] <syllogism> which one?
[07:58] <gteppel> Drake_: so setup OpenVPN on my linux server and tunnel the ports used by OpenVPN between my linux server and the wireless laptop?
[07:58] <Flannel> syllogism: just google it "postgreSQL vs MySQL" and have a read
[07:58] <Snellgrove> something like that, yeah.. gteppel :)
[07:58] <LjL> syllogism: the faster one i meant mysql.
[07:59] <syllogism> thanks
[07:59] <LjL> syllogism: myself, i'd use postgres all day. but it's best to make up your own mind
[07:59] <gteppel> i'd still have to setup OpenVPN to act like a proxy between my work vpn and my home network correct?
[07:59] <Drake_> gteppel: once you vpn to your linux server you can get out to the internet how ever you want
[07:59] <Oldschool> moin @ all
[07:59] <dkr> nod, for everyone that swears by postgresql there is one swearnig by mysql
[07:59] <gteppel> Drake_: ahh I see
[07:59] <sarek> scwizard: no idea?
[08:00] <Mysta> how do I rename partitions from inside the file browser? I receive an error stating The item could not be renamed???
[08:00] <Tentious> Anyone here play EVE-Online?
[08:00] <dkr> competition is good, :)
[08:00] <truz_`24> Tentious, i used to...
[08:00] <syllogism> LjL, the reason I ask is because I've been trying to cross-compile MySQL for the past 2 days from linux to windows. . it's damn near impossible
[08:01] <Tentious> truz_`24: Was you able to get it to run on Cedega?
[08:01] <dkr> syllogism: why not just use the binaries supplied for windows?
[08:01] <Drake_> ok dumb question how to determine the qt version at the command line apparently qt --version is not the command ;)
[08:01] <truz_`24> Tentious, never tried...
[08:01] <garryfre> mount /dev/bios/mind Error:  Object not detected - You have not awoken yet.
[08:01] <truz_`24> Tentious, if they ever came out with a linux client i would probably try it again
[08:01] <gnomefreak> Drake_: try libqt3-mt --version
[08:01] <flo> Hi ! Should a webcam basicly work on ubuntu-server or is there maybe something missing from the kernel ?
[08:01] <iratsu> how can i find out what ethernet driver goes with accton technology corporation SMC2-1211TX?
[08:01] <syllogism> dkr, I'm developing software for windows FROM linux. . so I need the dev files
[08:01] <gnomefreak> Drake_: or apt-cache policy libqt3-mt
[08:01] <truz_`24> does anyone in here use a non standard kernel ( k7, 686-smp )?
[08:01] <Artifex> hi guys!!!!
[08:02] <Tentious> truz_`24: Yeah... Same here...
[08:02] <Morden> does RIPE work for someone?
[08:02] <dkr> syllogism: my condolences, :)
[08:02] <NoUse> truz_`24 yeah
[08:02] <truz_`24> NoUse, how do you get apt to upgrade you to the newest version of that kernel?
[08:02] <gavagai> iratsu, google.com/linux
[08:02] <truz_`24> When a new kernel comes out, it puts me back to the default kernel
[08:02] <truz_`24> and i have to install my smp one
[08:02] <truz_`24> along with restricted modules
[08:02] <mDot> anyone know if compiz can be limited to just the expose feature and maybe the cube? i don't like the indow decorations and would rather not use them
[08:02] <tenco> truz_`24: there should be a meta-package for -k7 etc kernels
[08:03] <tenco> truz_`24: wait a sec
[08:03] <gnomefreak> mDot: try in #ubuntu-xgl
[08:03] <NoUse> truz_`24 just install linux-<version>, like linux-k7 will get the latest k7 kernel
[08:03] <gavagai> So in ubuntu if I install a new kernel, will it keep the old one, and will grub give me the option to boot the old one?
[08:03] <nicholaspaul> Does someone know how to get rid of "_" in filenames in Grip?
[08:03] <nalioth> gavagai: it should
[08:03] <truz_`24> NoUse, I did...
[08:03] <gnomefreak> gavagai: will keep the old one
[08:03] <NoUse> truz_`24 what version are you running?
[08:03] <gavagai> ok thanks
[08:03] <Mysta> anyoen?
[08:03] <truz_`24> but when updates come out, they update the default kernel
[08:03] <truz_`24> 6.06
[08:03] <gavagai> I have the 386 kernel but i want to install 686
[08:03] <Artifex> hey, is there a version of Ubuntu (or linux more in general) for Appe MacBook?
[08:03] <NoUse> truz_`24 I mean what version of the kernel are you running?

[08:04] <Lpadmin> Nalioth, another one?
[08:04] <truz_`24> but when updates come, they give me the base 386 one
[08:04] <tenco> NoUse: there is no linux-k7 package, only linux-image-k7
[08:04] <NoUse> truz_`24 thats the latest version of the kernel for ubuntu
[08:04] <nalioth> Lpadmin: yup
[08:04] <Artifex> hey, is there a version of Ubuntu (or linux more in general) for Appe MacBook?
[08:04] <gnomefreak> NoUse: than the 386 should work
[08:04] <truz_`24> NoUse, I know it is.
[08:04] <NoUse> truz_`24 oh, just remove the 386 version

[08:07] <Artifex> gavagai thank you anyway!
[08:07] <gavagai> you're welcome
[08:07] <garryfre> iratsu: If you mean to know the name of the eternet driver you are using now its a command: lspci
[08:07] <Nightwish1986> Hello! Can somebody help me with my sound? It sounds scratchy with a high beep... I tried asound.conf and muting some channels in alsamixer, but no luck. Using AD1986A (alsa) on ubuntu dapper 6.06
[08:07] <nicholaspaul> Artifex: i have dapper on a PPC powerbook, and it works fine. install is not a problem.
[08:07] <ArAnWe> pleas, can someone help me ..... i am newbie to ubuntu <and linux> and i want to installl opera browser, but when i want to install the deb package it needs xlib6g and xlibs package , which i can't find anywhere pls , can someone help me
[08:07] <iratsu> garryfre: yea but it doesn't give me the filename of the driver
[08:08] <NoUse> !tell ArAnWe about opera
[08:08] <nicholaspaul> ArAnWe: use Synaptic. It installs all the dependencies for you.
[08:08] <basti> a quick question. which file do I edit so that I have the same keyboard layout as I have in gnome, when Im not logged in gnome? (special dvorak layout)
[08:08] <ArAnWe> i wanted to use synaptic, but it finds nothing
[08:08] <gavagai> nicholaspaul, does it work with the airport card?
[08:08] <nicholaspaul> gavagai: yup, perfectly.
[08:08] <NoUse> ArAnWe ubotu just sent you howto links
[08:08] <gavagai> nicholaspaul, cool
[08:08] <winbond> is there a list of hardware that has a full linux support?  lets say i want to build a pc just for linux , and what to have sound ,video etc with good drivers
[08:08] <Drake_> nalioth: thanks I found it libqt3-mt-dev I am guessing
[08:08] <Artifex> nicholaspaul, really? Is it just like the installation of XP?
[08:09] <nalioth> Drake_: that sounds good
[08:09] <ArAnWe> ubotu: thx
[08:09] <ubotu> parse error: Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, ArAnWe
[08:09] <gavagai> that's good progress.  when i bought my ibook linux didn't work with airport.  i haven't really followed the progress of linux on mac.
[08:09] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell winbond -about hardware
[08:09] <garryfre> iratsu Oh. Hmmm. sounds like ye need to run a command to find out what processes are running perhaps dmesg might give you an idea.
[08:09] <NoUse> ArAnWe ubotu is a bot :-)
[08:09] <nicholaspaul> Artifex: um.... funny question, but it does install easily!
[08:09] <Artifex> ^_^
[08:09] <Drake_> what does threaded mean in regards to an output of an apt-cache search?
[08:09] <Artifex> and the hardware is fully recognized?
[08:09] <larry> gavagai: there's always yellow dog too
[08:09] <ArAnWe> NoUse: lol?
[08:09] <nicholaspaul> Artifex: yup
[08:10] <winbond> ty
[08:10] <nicholaspaul> Artifex: just dual monitors doesnt work, nor 'sleep'
[08:10] <nicholaspaul> Artifex:  but combo drive and F/W drives work fine.
[08:10] <Lpadmin> Nalioth, does this mean that unregistered people can't come to this channel?
[08:10] <garryfre> !twinview
[08:10] <ubotu> Syntax error in line 1. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, garryfre
[08:10] <gavagai> larry, that's true.  i'm pretty happy with OSX, i'll probably leave it on my laptop until i get a new one.  then if my laptop becomes a server i'll put ubuntu on it maybe.
[08:10] <Artifex> good
[08:11] <nalioth> Lpadmin: no unregistered users may join the channel for the moment, Lpadmin
[08:11] <truz_`24> NoUse, thanks.
[08:11] <Nightwish1986> !tell sound
[08:11] <Artifex> why so many notebooks have some problems with "sleep mode" in linux?
[08:11] <Drake_> is there a way to check what is actually being installed by apt-get or you are just trusting the integrity of the source servers that you are downloading and installing from?
[08:11] <NoUse> truz_`24 sure
[08:11] <truz_`24> My grub menu is clean now :-)
[08:11] <NoUse> Artifex instead of following the ACPI standard, they code to Microsoft's spec
[08:12] <truz_`24> I was running the dev version of dapper for a while, so I had like 10 kernels in there.
[08:12] <Nightwish1986> !tell Nightwish1986 sound
[08:12] <gavagai> Drake_, at some point you have to trust someone.  apt checks that the file downloaded correctly though
[08:12] <garryfre> Not just sleep but many power saving features. It seems they are just not written for the hardware yet.
[08:12] <tenco> Artifex: dunno, but perhaps suspend to ram differs a lot from model to model
[08:12] <truz_`24> reboot
[08:13] <Artifex> maybe other brands are more compatible with the "sleep mode"??
[08:14] <tenco> Artifex: this is my second notebook, and suspend to ram never worked
[08:14] <MonsieurBon> hello
[08:14] <Artifex> oh! it doesn't work on my travelmate too! : (
[08:14] <MonsieurBon> did anyone manage to get his ipod to work with dapper? I have a ipod of the 5th generation
[08:14] <tenco> Artifex: i have a huge problem related to sata drivers and acpi/apic with my current one, in fact
[08:15] <cparker> hi, how do i put a "Computer" icon on my dapper desktop? i can't seem to figure out how...
[08:16] <ArAnWe> nouse: :'( none of the tips didn't work ..... it can't find the xlibs and xlib6g libraries
[08:16] <tenco> cparker: just drag'n'drop that from the places(?)-menu
[08:16] <jrib> ubotu: tell cparker about desktop-icons
[08:16] <cparker> ohhhh... didn't know i could drag from the menus. :)
[08:17] <garryfre> cparker: right click on desktop, choose create a launcher its analgous to a short cut so you'll have to find out how the menu one works and where it points.
[08:17] <jrib> cparker: one sec on that factiod, I need to update it for dapper.  Or you can use the other methods :)
[08:17] <cparker> voila! all done. thanks tenco. :)
[08:17] <wastrel> viola
[08:17] <tenco> ..makes sounds. ;-)
[08:18] <garryfre> I like that drag and drop idea.
[08:18] <cparker> it'd be nice if i could right-click on the menu items...
[08:18] <NoUse> ArAnWe did you read the wiki page?
[08:18] <tenco> cparker: yeah.
[08:19] <ArAnWe> NoUse: yes a did ...there are commands to install the package and to find missing packages, but these it cant find
[08:19] <garryfre> I see, ye can right click, but it just opens. ..... Doh on me!
[08:20] <NoUse> ArAnWe where did you get the package?
[08:20] <ArAnWe> hte opera package? .... opera.com ... a tryed to use ubuntu 6.06 pack and generic deb pack .....all the same problem
[08:21] <NoUse> ArAnWe read the whole wiki page, it tells you what to do with that error message
[08:21] <sudomania4> I want to add a simple Red Circle to an MPEG video .what program do you suggest ?
[08:21] <garryfre> I just use white out on my errors.
[08:21] <NoUse> ArAnWe or you can follow the section to install via apt-get
[08:22] <Tentious> I'm about to purchase a new video card. I currently have an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro 128MB, but I'm wanting to play games and I know from past experiance that ATI doesn't really support open source anymore, so I'm leaning towards a nVidia card. What is the most compatible card out there that will do great with games such as World of Warcraft, EVE-Online and Guildwars?
[08:22] <gnomefreak> ArAnWe: use the link ubotu is gonna give you read it first than click the snapshot link
[08:22] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell ArAnWe -about opera
[08:22] <ArAnWe> NoUse: yes i did ....
[08:22] <ArAnWe> gnomeFreak: thx
[08:22] <gnomefreak> yw
[08:23] <gnomefreak> ArAnWe: in that link there is an opera download that says dapper use that one ;)
[08:23] <`out2lnch`untwis> Tentious, if you want a good card without breaking the bank look for something along the geForce 6800 series.  I'm sure most of the nVidia cards (other than super bleeding edge cards) should work with no problem!
[08:26] <ackeubu_> Hey I can manually make the icons on items on my desktop smaller. can i change the default size of all of the desktop items in some way?
[08:27] <Drake_> where would be a good place to start looking for what caused a gateway entry to just disappear
[08:27] <zax1> for a 700mhz laptop, is XUbuntu considerably faster ?
[08:27] <sudomania4> I want to add a simple Red Circle to an MPEG video .what program do you suggest ?
[08:28] <Tentious> `out2lnch`untwis: Thanks!
[08:28] <Klowner> zax1: how much ram?
[08:28] <zax1> 128
[08:28] <untwisted> No problemo
[08:28] <gteppel> Is it possible to connect to a VPN and then connect to another VPN?
[08:28] <NoUse> zax1 I would go with xubuntu and I would use the alternate install CD
[08:28] <Klowner> zax1: oy, that's not much, I'd say go with xubuntu
[08:29] <garryfre> sudomania4: I don't know of any way of adding a red circle or water mark to mpeg. One is still media and the other is video, apples and oranges.
[08:29] <zax1> would the differance be considerable?
[08:29] <|rt|> gteppel: depends on how the vpn's are setup and if they are on the same or different subnets I would imagine
[08:29] <zax1> % wise ?
[08:29] <NoUse> zax1 yes
[08:29] <untwisted> bah, my nickname is registered already! ><
[08:29] <zax1> chears
[08:29] <jrib> sudomania4: kino maybe (that's the only one I know about)
[08:29] <Dewbie> hmm
[08:29] <martii> zax1: will be xfce eats much less RAM than gnome
[08:29] <Dewbie> a very comon nick
[08:29] <martii> zax1: starts faster and works waster
[08:29] <martii> zax1: faster
[08:29] <untwisted> untwisted is common?
[08:29] <gteppel> |rt|, I would be connecting to an OpenVPN network and then a Cisco network
[08:30] <gteppel> and they are different subnets
[08:30] <untwisted> I've never met anyone else with this nick before and NEVER have had a problem registering it anywhere.
[08:30] <sudomania4> well, thanks
[08:30] <|rt|> gteppel: depends on how they are setup....both can be setup to send all traffic through the vpn
[08:30] <martii> gteppel: if you push routing for cisco network
[08:30] <sudomania4> it was a question a person asked and i didnt know
[08:30] <sudomania4> so thanks
[08:30] <martii> gteppel: to the openvpn client it might work
[08:30] <garryfre> untwisted: I have same issue because I upgraded and now my system is different but nickserv thinks I'm not me.
[08:30] <gteppel> martii: ok thanks
[08:30] <ubproblems> i am trying to install dapper to RAID using the http://www.ubuntu-in.org/wiki/SATA_RAID_Howto#Install_the_base_system but dmraid keeps failing
[08:31] <|rt|> martii: openvpn can be setup to force all traffic through the tunnel
[08:31] <ubproblems> that is apt-get install dmraid fails
[08:31] <ubproblems> it says.. invoke-rc.d: initscript dmraid, action "start" failed
[08:31] <ubproblems> dpkg: error processing dmraid (--configure)
[08:31] <ubproblems> can anyone help me get dmraid working?
[08:31] <SAM_theman> yo guys
[08:31] <martii> |rt|: as well you can push routing to specific networks
[08:31] <untwisted> garryfre: I never registered it, someone else got it before me.  I'm just surprised!
[08:31] <steev> garryfre: your system may change, your password does not (its not stored on your computer)
[08:31] <gteppel> ok thanks
[08:31] <untwisted> steev as in klabnik?
[08:32] <garryfre> steev Yeah, I kept the same password, never the less, it tells me that my nick is owned by another and it happened immediately afte formatting and upgrading from breezy to dapper.
[08:32] <garryfre> untwisted I'm also surprised.
[08:33] <steev> garryfre: the network doesn't know what OS you are running.
[08:33] <|rt|> martii: yep...but you can disable all other routes on the host as well....to the point that the computer can't even communicate to other computers on it's local network
[08:33] <untwisted> steev: are you by chance from pittsburgh?
[08:33] <garryfre> steev So what is causing it do ye think?
[08:33] <steev> untwisted: negative, tulsa, oklahoma at the moment
[08:33] <untwisted> ahhh, opposite ends of the earth practically ;)
[08:34] <psyke83> hi, I installed xubuntu-desktop and it's changed my gdm theme. I want to keep xubuntu, but change the gdm theme back to the orange default, does anyone know how?
[08:34] <NoUse> ubproblems have you tried removing it and reinstalling?
[08:34] <untwisted> psyke83: you should be able to go to the theme manager and change back to 'human'
[08:34] <untwisted> in the gdm theme manager
[08:34] <wastrel> gdm themes eh
[08:34] <wastrel> i want a blue one
[08:35] <psyke83> untwisted: where's the gdm theme manager?
[08:35] <garryfre> steev Its not much of a problem. It just gives me that message but still lets me use the same nick.
[08:35] <untwisted> it may not be called human, it may just be called ubuntu too, I'm not sure, sorry :/
[08:35] <wastrel> system->preferences->login window
[08:35] <garryfre> It is human and its the default.
[08:35] <thething> howdy all
[08:35] <untwisted> I'm a KDE man myself, so thanks wastrel :)
[08:35] <thething> anyone got vnc going from a windows machine to ubuntu?
[08:36] <psyke83> thanks wastrel, untwisted
[08:36] <steev> garryfre: yeah, but you can't message registered users
[08:36] <jrattner1> thething, yes ive done it
[08:37] <garryfre> I registrered, and Intelikey is registered, and I message him all the time.
[08:37] <jrattner1> thething, ?"
[08:37] <SWAT_laptop> what's the best way to partition a 'new' ubuntu pc? Put your /home and /boot on a seperate parititon? (and how does one do that?, put a symlink there, using a livecd?)
[08:38] <gnomefreak> steev: you have to be registered/identified to servers to be able to pm users  both users must be
[08:38] <Strike> Quick question: does the x86 install disk include non-destructive partitioning software, or is it destructive?
[08:39] <gnomefreak> Strike: you mess up it will hurt yes
[08:39] <Ayabara> is there a gnome filebrowser that have multiple panes like krusader does?
[08:39] <gavagai> SWAT_laptop, about 6 gigs is good for / and 1 gig for swap, and the rest for /home.  with a seperate /boot, yeah.  but no symlinking or anything
[08:39] <dkr> Ayabara: nautilus
[08:39] <Strike> gnomefreak: if I don't "mess it up"?
[08:39] <steev> gnomefreak: you can turn off that requirement
[08:39] <garryfre> I have been able to do thinks like toggle partitions bootable and change sizes without destroying data.
[08:39] <gnomefreak> Strike: if you dont mess up there should be nothing to worry about
[08:39] <steev> being a gentoo dev, i have it turned off as sometimes users need to message me :)
[08:39] <gnomefreak> steev: no
[08:40] <ubproblems> ok..... then does anyone know how much of a performance boost i would take if i used the raid for swap and home dir, and just put the root on an ata
[08:40] <ubproblems> ?
[08:40] <garryfre> I wouln't try it with nice try file system ntfs though. ?)
[08:40] <Strike> ok, but it will let me resize existing partitions without ruining the data?
[08:40] <gnomefreak> steev: its a freenode thing now a user thing
[08:40] <gnomefreak> Strike: should
[08:40] <Strike> ok
[08:40] <ArAnWe> 2all: problem with opera solved by wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xorg/xlibs_6.8.2-77_all.deb .....whx to all
[08:40] <Strike> I've always used pmagic due to laziness in the past hehe
[08:40] <Dewbie> !upgrade
[08:40] <Strike> but I don't have a copy available atm
[08:40] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade. Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades . Note: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the latest development verison: (eft when its open)
[08:40] <gnomefreak> Strike: i cant sit here and tell you oh yeah its safe you wont lose anything but im not the one doing it
[08:40] <Strike> lol
[08:41] <Strike> lol, true
[08:41] <B1zz> hehe
[08:41] <mcpowley> hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me? I use ubuntu for everything...except gaming. I have windows on my drive in my laptop, and ubuntu on a 40 gig partition on  my external...is there anyway to move the linux partition to the extern al drive and move the windows to the external? Cause it really sucks to have to lug around my external drive to use my main os.
[08:41] <Bassetts> anyone have any idea why my speakers squeel at me when theres no audio and they are on?
[08:41] <Strike> I know what I'm doing with it, just didn't know... as I know a lot of the old partitioning software rendered any data left on the resized partitions useless.
[08:41] <steev> gnomefreak: im registered, and unregistered and registered alike can message me
[08:41] <garryfre> I'd back up the data but not on 80 floppies to a zip file spanning all the floppies like a real-estate client did.
[08:41] <Ayabara> dkr: can I split the window and show two different folders at once in nautilus?
[08:42] <B1zz> omg
[08:42] <garryfre> You might want to defrag first
[08:42] <B1zz> 80 floppies!
[08:42] <B1zz> deng people still use those things?
[08:43] <garryfre> Yep. I myself got an external hard drive for backup so I could turn it off and not wear it out. It fried *while it was turning off!*
[08:43] <dkr> Ayabara: ah, no, it just has different panes for the tree view versus file view
[08:43] <Bassetts> afternoon gnomefreak
[08:44] <gnomefreak> Bassetts: hello
[08:44] <Ayabara> dkr: ok. I'm used to total commander from windows. old habits die hard..
[08:44] <dkr> Ayabara: which is weird, because nautilus evolved from gmc and midnight commander had that efature
[08:45] <stevekl> Serious question: Would fonts on a LCD look better if I wore glasses?
[08:45] <B1zz> lol
[08:45] <jrattner1> How do i set up an address book server?
[08:45] <slimz> anyone know of any fax software i could use, which is similar to outlook for office?
[08:45] <garryfre> Some look better if I don't wear my glasses or just keep my eyes closed.
[08:45] <dkr> stevekl: just adjust brightness
[08:45] <Matafome> hi there ppl
[08:46] <Matafome> I need your help
[08:46] <mcpowley> hmm, does anyone know?
[08:46] <Matafome> I've just installed ubuntu dapper
[08:46] <Bassetts> anyone have any idea why my speakers squeel at me when theres no audio and they are on?
[08:46] <jrib> stevekl: do you use corrective lenses?
[08:46] <Matafome> and I've got a Vodafone Mobile Connect Card from the manufacturer Option
[08:46] <Ayabara> dkr: that does sound weird..
[08:46] <Matafome> and when I insert the card it just works out of the box if I've got signal for 3G celular netowkr
[08:46] <Matafome> network*
[08:47] <stevekl> dkr: I adjust it up and down and I still can't stand the way they look
[08:47] <Tommy2k4> whats a good audio player to use?
[08:47] <stevekl> jrib: yes
[08:47] <Matafome> but when I don't got 3G but only GPRS connection I don't know how to change the card from 3G registering to GPRS registering in the celular network
[08:47] <TheSheep> stevekl: what fonts do you use?
[08:47] <Matafome> anyone know how I can do this??
[08:47] <tiagoboldt> Tommy2k4: rhythmbox, xmms
[08:48] <TheSheep> stevekl: I highly recommend to set the DejaVu family as default in the browser
[08:48] <tiagoboldt> xmms is similar to winamp
[08:48] <stevekl> TheSheep: I've tried everything
[08:48] <stevekl> TheSheep: dejavu? Is that in ubuntu by default?
[08:48] <TheSheep> stevekl: not sure, but there is a package for sure
[08:49] <Nikyo> ok.. now i'm reg'd.. that was easy ;-)
[08:49] <geneo93> !lvm
[08:49] <ubotu> it has been said that lvm is (for the moment) http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
[08:50] <Tommy2k4> how come opera wasnt added to k-menu when i installed it
[08:50] <zombieReagan> because opera isn't open source and, therefore, the stallmand daemon will not allow it to be recognized
[08:50] <salah> hi. what's the name of nvidia graphics driver for ubuntu?
[08:50] <cyfr> Hello I have a new laptop with nvidia card and XGL installed. All seems to be fine, except, when i drag windows they become practicly invisable... anyway to change this?
[08:50] <valierien> 'lop
[08:51] <we2by> how do I configure gnome to draw the window border only when moving windows?
[08:51] <stevekl> TheSheep: Hey, these do look pretty good
[08:51] <gnomefreak> salah: nvidia-glx
[08:51] <jrattner1> ubotu tell salah about binaryDrivers
[08:51] <Tommy2k4> so it hates everything thats not open source?
[08:51] <stevekl> TheSheep: Thanks, i was geting pretty frustrated. I'll try these fonts out
[08:51] <TheSheep> stevekl: glad you like it. I also recommend the 'terminus' forn for the console
[08:51] <TheSheep> font
[08:51] <valierien> I have a wine whine
[08:51] <garryfre> Unless you have an old legacy vid card but what gnomefreak says works pretty good.
[08:51] <pixelbunnie> I hate rhythmbox icons
[08:52] <mcpowley> hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me? I use ubuntu for everything...except gaming. I have windows on my drive in my laptop, and ubuntu on a 40 gig partition on  my external...is there anyway to move the linux partition to the extern al drive and move the windows to the external?

[08:52] <KuLover> Does anyone have problems playing music wile useing a micraphone?
[08:52] <pepinito> hi
[08:52] <dionysos_> mcpowley: looks kinda hard :p
[08:53] <jrattner1> hi
[08:53] <Lpadmin> What does it mean when cups says "cupsd: Unable to read configuration file '/etc/cups/cupsd.conf' - exiting!"
[08:53] <pepinito> i just installed ubuntu
[08:53] <pepinito> but don't know how to see TV
[08:53] <xbeanx> Lpadmin: means cupsd can't read that file
[08:53] <xbeanx> maybe it's missing
[08:53] <pike_> mcpowley: might be easier to install ubuntu to the hd and then copy over your home dir from old install..
[08:53] <valierien> to boot from it you need a partition on the bootable drive
[08:53] <garryfre> Don't you mean you want to move one or both to the internal drive?
[08:53] <dionysos_> Lpadmin: cupsd is printer drvier
[08:53] <Lpadmin> Xbeanx, but the file exits.
[08:53] <Lpadmin> I can read the file.
[08:53] <jrattner1> Lpadmin, check the permissions
[08:53] <xbeanx> Lpadmin: could be permissions or a syntax error
[08:53] <dionysos_> Lpadmin: try to chmod it
[08:54] <valierien> refer to the bootloader doc
[08:54] <valierien> yeah, how do you admin cups without the web page?
[08:54] <Bassetts> anyone have any idea why my speakers squeel at me when theres no audio and they are on?
[08:55] <garryfre> Feed back from having your microphone on?
[08:55] <Bassetts> ni mic
[08:55] <Bassetts> no*
[08:55] <Lpadmin> Xbeanx, how do I know if there is a syntax error.
[08:55] <gorski> program for ftp transfer?
[08:56] <Lpadmin> Can I show it to you?
[08:56] <valierien> that'd be ftp at the terminal window
[08:56] <Bassetts> gftp
[08:56] <pike_> gorski: gftp i think or there is a plugin for firefox to make it a little prettier
[08:56] <xbeanx> Lpadmin: no, sorry I'm going home now
[08:56] <Bilange> theres also nautilus (click Places, Conect to a server)
[08:56] <martii> gorski: for gnome gftp
[08:56] <martii> gorski: for console lftp
[08:57] <valierien> anyone got WINE (wine is not a windows emulator)
[08:57] <valierien> working?
[08:57] <Bassetts> fireftp for firefox
[08:57] <gorski> thankx
[08:57] <Tommy2k4> how could i auto mount a networked (ntfs) drive (or better yet a specific folder) from my sisters pc?
[08:57] <someothernick> valierien, yes
[08:57] <someothernick> ?
[08:57] <dfr> Hi, has anyone had success installing proprietary nvidia drivers since last kernel update?
[08:57] <valierien> ...I get nothing but errors
[08:58] <valierien> seg faults
[08:58] <valierien> same wine works on slack 10.x
[08:59] <dfr> or knows why it's a bad idea to do so?
[08:59] <Twinxor> holy crud, amaroK is confusing
[08:59] <Lpadmin> Xbeanx, okay. Thank you for your help!!! :)
[08:59] <mcpowley> pike_: Oh, so like format the hd, then install ubuntu, then take everything from my home drive on my external ubuntu and transfer it back over? Then I can install windows on external...would playing games on windows be anyway affected by using windows on an external? I have a 60 gb hd and a 320 external. I don't want my gaming to be affected by using windows on an external...would it be a good idea to install both os'es on the main
[08:59] <mcpowley>  60 hd, then using the 320 for the filesystem for both systesms like a 320 gb fat32 hd?
[08:59] <Sammy> Yo Hommies I am back

[08:59] <Sammy> Hey
[09:00] <valierien> error text ---
[09:00] <Tommy2k4> i had quite a lot of trouble trying to use the manual partitioner in kubuntu installer
[09:00] <Sammy> Thanks gnomefreak
[09:00] <cyfr> Hello I have a new laptop with nvidia card and XGL installed. All seems to be fine, except, when i drag windows they become practicly invisable... anyway to change this?
[09:00] <valierien> err:ole:xCall Failed to serialize param, hres 80040155
[09:00] <pike_> mcpowley: i would def try to make a small partition on the internal drive for windows swap(ive been on linux so long i cant remember what its called)
[09:00] <Bilange> mcpowley:  not sure about the speed... is that a firewire or USB based external drive?
[09:00] <valierien> err:ole:deserialize_param Failed to read integer 4 byte
[09:00] <Drake_> when downloading large packages breezy seems to freeze up and then I don't have any connection to my gateway router, where would I found the sourch of that?

[09:00] <thething> anyone help me getting a glitch out of tightvnc?
[09:00] <mcpowley> bilange:Usb 7200
[09:00] <Graiff> what command should i use on terminal to delete a file?
[09:00] <valierien> rm -f
[09:00] <dfr> Graiff: rm ?
[09:00] <jrattner1> Graiff, rm
[09:00] <Bilange> pike_:  I think its called shared memory, but Im based on a french Win installation so Im not really sure
[09:00] <mcpowley> pike_: A windows swap...or the actual windows os?
[09:00] <Graiff> thank you all
[09:01] <Drake_> Graiff: rm
[09:01] <jrattner1> anyone know of anything cool or fun i can do right now
[09:01] <Bilange> mcpowley:  uhh do you know if its USB 2.0 or not? theres a majob speed boost between USB 2.0 and earlier
[09:01] <wastrel> telnet nethack.alt.org  jrattner1
[09:01] <valierien> sure, rob a bank then send me the money
[09:01] <pike_> mcpowley: a like 1 or 2 gig partition for windows shared memory.  but really it might be easier to leave windows on the internal drive too.
[09:01] <thething> installed tightvnc which connects if i'm logged on graphically but not otherwise - anyone?
[09:01] <dfr> So guys, I've tried to install nvidia drives distributed by nvidia, however, Xserver complains that it cannot find libGLcore on start.
[09:01] <Bilange> but 7200 rpm is a good start for the drive itself
[09:02] <cosmic-hobo> Um... well, jrattner1... In the words of Weird Al Yankovic, put your head in the microwave and give yourself a tan?
[09:02] <MarcN> jrattner1: import & tag your photos into f-spot
[09:02] <Drake_> when downloading large packages breezy seems to freeze up and then I don't have any connection to my gateway router, where would I found the source of that?
[09:02] <nooby_god> I just installed ubuntu and i feel good, how ever there were some problems with my setting up of my wireless card, who do I tell to fix it?
[09:02] <mcpowley> bilange: Yeah, it's 2.0
[09:02] <jrattner1> wastrel, whats that
[09:02] <jrattner1> im more of a facebook person
[09:02] <wastrel> nethack telnet server
[09:02] <erisco_> hey, I hear 6.06 is released?
[09:02] <wastrel> what's facebook? is it better than gthumb
[09:02] <erisco_> is it buggy? or ready to be used?
[09:02] <Lpadmin> Erisco_, that depends. ;)
[09:02] <jrattner1> facebook.com > *
[09:02] <valierien> ...it works
[09:03] <erisco_> on what?
[09:03] <thething> installed tightvnc which connects if i'm logged on graphically but not otherwise - help anyone?
[09:03] <valierien> ....pretty minimal desk top set
[09:03] <dfr> noooby_god it took me a while to get my wireless working.... had to go via ndiswrapper
[09:03] <mcpowley> pike_: So just install both os'es on the main drive...if I do that, will there be a menu for me to choose between windows and linux?
[09:03] <erisco_> be right back
[09:03] <Lpadmin> Erisco, was that directed at me?
[09:03] <Tommy2k4> When I was trying to use the manual partitioner in the installer, after I had set up all the partitions and commited the changes, when I clicked next the partitions were wrong, eg I had hda5 as a 512mb fat32 and hda6 as an ext3 1gb but the next screen of the install was saying that hda5 was 1gb and hda6 was 512mb and I wasn't sure which was which because it didn't tell me the fs of each partition. When I decided to guess and just
[09:03] <jrib> wastrel: facebook is like myspace but restricted to schools, at least that's the only facebook I know of
[09:03] <pike_> mcpowley: yes. you want to make sure ubuntu is the last os intalled
[09:03] <SWAT_laptop> gavagai, uhm, can I select the partition for my /home during the installation?
[09:04] <thething> installed tightvnc which connects if i'm logged on graphically but not otherwise - help anyone? anyone listening to me atall?
[09:04] <gavagai> SWAT_laptop, you can select, create, resize, whatever
[09:04] <nooby_god> where do i put commands that I want to be executed on boot?
[09:04] <jrattner1> thething, use SSH
[09:04] <valierien> thething: I see you typing
[09:04] <Bilange> mcpowley:  refering from Wikipedia, USB 2.0 has at least 50Mb / second transfer rate, that should be sufficent for casual gaming
[09:05] <SWAT_laptop> gavagai, I know the partition process, I mean selecting that I want to use hda1 for / hda2 for /home hda3 for /boot etc.
[09:05] <Intangir> what happened to win32codecs for mplayer..
[09:05] <mcpowley> bilange: Well, I can just install graphics intensive games on the main hd if I want
[09:05] <jrib> ubotu: tell Intangir abotu w32codecs
[09:05] <valierien> ubotu: domo origato
[09:05] <ubotu> Syntax error in line 1. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, valierien
[09:05] <dfr> So no one is running nvidia drivers from nvidia.com site?
[09:06] <Morodock> mcpowley and Bilange - I've tried to game off usb2 and firewire - not cool... should be "extremely casual" like ... solitaire...
[09:06] <mcpowley> pike_: So if I didnt want to reinstall windows on this main drive(It's already on there) Can I just format a partition of 20 gigs and install ubuntu on that right now?
[09:06] <Tommy2k4> can anyone help with  the problem I had with partitioning during install
[09:06] <Bilange> mcpowley: you can also do that too-- but Im not sure if theres an easy _and_ automatic way of setting up a bootup menu for you to choose between Windows and Ubuntu/Linux.. this thing does exist, but you may have to get your hands dirty a bit
[09:06] <valierien> Tommy : whats the prob?
[09:06] <tomas_> hi can anyone help me with my webcam?
[09:06] <ackeubu_> Hey guys, I am working on some files on a couple of different computers. Is there an application that would help me syncronise my files if i have a server to upload tehm to?
[09:06] <tomas_> it worked a while in amsn but now it dissapears in amsn
[09:06] <valierien> rsync
[09:06] <Subhuman> tomas_, look on google for "easycam ubuntu"
[09:06] <pike_> mcpowley: yep
[09:06] <Tommy2k4> When I was trying to use the manual partitioner in the installer, after I had set up all the partitions and commited the changes, when I clicked next the partitions were wrong, eg I had hda5 as a 512mb fat32 and hda6 as an ext3 1gb but the next screen of the install was saying that hda5 was 1gb and hda6 was 512mb and I wasn't sure which was which because it didn't tell me the fs of each partition. When I decided to guess and just
[09:06] <wastrel> cvs
[09:06] <Bilange> Morodock:  well... I dont think Bf2 with its loading times can be called "casual":)
[09:07] <neutrinomass> ackeubu_: Depends on how sophisticated you want this. You could set up a simple FTP server, or something more advanced like CVS/SVN
[09:07] <valierien> ackeubu: rsync
[09:07] <tomas_> Subhuman: thanks
[09:07] <gorski> gftp cannot connect to microsoft servers?
[09:07] <jrattner1> gorski, it can connect to anything
[09:07] <Morodock> Bilange - you've played bf2 off usb?
[09:08] <Bilange> Morodock:  nope :)
[09:08] <darius_> Where could I download Ubuntu packages from manually?
[09:08] <Bilange> did you^
[09:08] <darius_> I looked ath the repositories .. but I don't see the application packages themselves
[09:08] <Tommy2k4> valierien: any ideas?
[09:08] <neutrinomass> Tommy2k4: That probably reflects a bug in the installer. If you can't get around it, install using the alternate CD. Please please please report this to Launchpad ( http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+filebug )
[09:08] <ackeubu_> neutrinomass I would prefer something that automatically synced my files from a specified folder.
[09:08] <Morodock> yeah -- and it's not worth it
[09:08] <Bilange> Morodock:  i thought it was long enough on a ide connection, I wondered about usb
[09:08] <valierien> Tommy : try again and make notes, its not that hard
[09:08] <Morodock> you can SORT OF play singly player - multi = recipie for embarassment
[09:08] <TimMagic> i am having trouble with my wifi card - can someone help?
[09:09] <valierien> I have had the same type of issue, I just paid attention, forget what I did differently
[09:09] <neutrinomass> ackeubu_: Not sure then :(
[09:09] <nooby_god> how do I get beagle and integrate it into my desktop?
[09:09] <Morodock> my gaming system now is raid 0 :)
[09:09] <Tommy2k4> valierien: its not that i forgot which was which, its that it said hda5 was 1gb and hda6 was 512mb when i specifically set them to be vice versa
[09:09] <TimMagic> its installed correctly and connected to my router just fine, but it wont connect to the internet or mail servers
[09:09] <NoUse> darius_ packages.ubuntu.com
[09:09] <mcpowley> Bilange: So If I went ahead and installed ubuntu on an ext 3 20 gig partition, when I boot my computer, it would boot into windows automatically?
[09:09] <valierien> ackebu : rsynch -- its a joy
[09:09] <Tommy2k4> and they were different file systems so just guessing could screw things up
[09:09] <NoUse> darius_ you should use apt-get whenever possible though
[09:09] <Bilange> Morodock:  whats a raid0? 2 Mirrored drives?
[09:09] <Matafome> Anyone knows how to change the option quad pcmcia 3G card to get GPRS connection to the Internet when no 3G network detected????
[09:09] <Tommy2k4> and that doesn't explain why it said i needed over 2048 when i had it set as way higher
[09:09] <pixelbunnie> anyone know how to MANUALLY change Rhythmbox ICONS
[09:09] <pixelbunnie> ?
[09:09] <Morodock> no, not mirrored, just for performance
[09:09] <Morodock> stripped
[09:10] <valierien> Tommy : assuming youre formatting them anyway, just try again
[09:10] <pixelbunnie> because I'm entirely OVER minimalist icons
[09:10] <Tommy2k4> i tried several times
[09:10] <Morodock> dual sli system, 4 gigs ram, blah, blah... bottom line = great graphics, great performance.
[09:10] <Bilange> mcpowley:  Did you say you had a 60gb internal drive? you can also use 30/30 for every os too
[09:10] <BCS> whats a good backup software that can backup a whole system
[09:10] <valierien> tar
[09:10] <mcpowley> yeah I have a 60 gig internal
[09:10] <Bilange> mcpowley:  actually I have a 40gb here, and its more than enough if you download not oo much
[09:11] <Bilange> "too much"*
[09:11] <mcpowley> i might just totally format the internal
[09:11] <Tommy2k4> another problem with the installer is that when defining the partitions, if you click on create after creating another one without first clicking on the the free space partition the installer will go blank and you have to go back and start the partitioning again
[09:11] <Matafome> BCS, you may use dd
[09:11] <Subhuman> Morodock, you realise with AID 0 ( :P ) that hdd failures are MORE Likely?
[09:11] <Subhuman> cuz of the double the chance of failiure.
[09:11] <Morodock> Subhuman - yep
[09:11] <mcpowley> but I play a lot of games, big games...so i don't know
[09:11] <dfr> has anyone had problems getting the nvidia drivers to work?
[09:11] <Subhuman> id always go for raid 5
[09:11] <Morodock> but it's a gaming rig -- who cares
[09:11] <count> Is there any reason apt-get would endless time out at 99% for me?  Using us.archive and just archive ?
[09:11] <Morodock> it's not a server
[09:11] <Morodock> my servers on raid 5
[09:11] <Subhuman> less waste than 1 and performance better than 0
[09:11] <Paul_Lagrange> t verison: (eft when its open)
 speaking of windows... i haven't logged in to my window
[09:11] <BCS> MatafomeL whats dd i get almost 400 results from an apt-cache search dd
[09:11] <Ayabara> I'm having some problems with video quality. My videos look better in xp than in ubuntu, also when playing with vlc. Is there a way to check that my display drivers are working properly?
[09:11] <Bilange> mcpowley:  well in this case I might save the external for moving data around, like Isos and such, and keep the windows' side of the disk for games
[09:12] <Paul_Lagrange> t verison: (eft when its open)
 speaking of windows... i haven't logged in to my window
[09:12] <Paul_Lagrange> sorry
[09:12] <Subhuman> Ayabara, are these dvds? u might not have dma enabled
[09:12] <Morodock> raid 5 would have been pretty $$$ on this system.. also.. was running out of power for a desktop unit
[09:12] <Subhuman> !dma
[09:12] <ubotu> Direct Memory Access/Addressing.  It makes hard disks run faster,  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DMA
[09:12] <Morodock> so much junk in there already
[09:12] <Subhuman> Morodock, 5 only needs 3 disks.
[09:12] <Morodock> only had space for maybe 2 - 3 drives
[09:12] <Tommy2k4> is it possible repartition my drive from inside ubuntu
[09:12] <Morodock> yeah, I had them try to install 4 drives, with raid 5
[09:12] <valierien> so, wine will work on dapper (hypothetically)
[09:13] <Morodock> system crashed horribly each time
[09:13] <Ayabara> Subhuman: no, they are just clips on the hd
[09:13] <Morodock> actually returned the system 3 times
[09:13] <Morodock> then, took one home with no mods... been happy every since
[09:13] <rbgCODE_> anyone have ideas for software to convert pictures into a dvd format with sound?
[09:13] <Tommy2k4> the pc i use 24/7 is a 733mhz p3 with 256mb ram
[09:13] <Paul_Lagrange> anyone can help? my keyboard works while logging in, then no more inside kde. Use Dapper Drake.
[09:13] <Subhuman> Ayabara, no i mean is it enabled in ubuntu?
[09:13] <mcpowley> bilange: Yeah, and I guess I could just keep the games im playing on my main disk..like source and cod2
[09:13] <Morodock> I'm sure if I went with dell or alianware it would have been better... but cost even more $$$
[09:13] <Ayabara> hmm. could be dma even if it's not dvds?
[09:13] <Subhuman> dma is OS controlled.
[09:13] <Tommy2k4> i have an athlon 2500+ with 1gb ram downstairs but that would mean being next to my dad all day and id rather not >_<
[09:13] <Morodock> already wasted WAY to much $$ on a dumb gaming rig...
[09:13] <Subhuman> Ayabara, unlikely.
[09:14] <mcpowley> bilange: How much is is a good amount to allocate to ubuntu?
[09:14] <pixelbunnie> anyone know to to MANUALLY change RHYTHMBOX icons?
[09:14] <count> Does anyone else have a problem with apt-get timing out after 99% or waiting for headers?
[09:14] <Subhuman> mcpowley, if you keep multimedia seperate.... 10gb?
[09:14] <count> > Get:2 http://archive.ubuntu.com dapper/main libdbi-perl 1.50-1 [623kB]
[09:14] <count> > 1% [2 libdbi-perl 621960/623kB 99%]
[09:14] <count> it just sits there, forever
[09:14] <valierien> pixelbunnie : properties in the shortcut (launcher)
[09:14] <Bilange> mcpowley:  my point is: keep the windows partition for gaming and ONLY that... downloads, patches, and _Everything_ except games installation can be put on your external, so you have more room for gaming
[09:14] <mcpowley> bilange: And i'm going to have a 320 gigs maybe 120 of that fat32, so accessable to windows and linux
[09:14] <nooby_god> how do I make wlan0 get a static ipaddress?
[09:14] <Ayabara> Subhuman: have not played dvds, so that's probably not it then
[09:14] <Tommy2k4> how can i play music over the network from my sisters windows box
[09:15] <count> nooby_god: put it in /etc/network/interfaces
[09:15] <valierien> Tommy : mount the file system
[09:15] <Dewbie> use shoutcast
[09:15] <Sammy> aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasd   w      ww w w
[09:15] <nooby_god> no, what's the command for that?
[09:15] <gnomefreak> Sammy: dont do that please
[09:15] <Tommy2k4> valierien: but she would have a different ip every time she reboots
[09:15] <count> nooby_god: ifconfig wlan0 inet x.x.x.x netmask x.x.x.x ?
[09:15] <Sammy> My bad
[09:15] <pixelbunnie> I mean the PLAY/PREVIOUS/NEXT icons... I mean.. hehe
[09:15] <pike_> mcpowley: my setup is 10gb for / and 80gb for /home (i install linux games to my home dir)and 800gb for /mnt/share :)
[09:15] <Sammy> I was playing a game and my comp froz
[09:15] <Tommy2k4> any way to mount by pc name instead of ip like i could on windows
[09:15] <Sammy> and a is to move to the right
[09:16] <nooby_god> so if I want wlan0 to get an ipaddress of <IP_ADDRESS> it's, ifconfig wlan0 inet <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[09:16] <count> Tommy2k4: use nbd?
[09:16] <Morodock> Tom39Away - Samba
[09:16] <Matafome> Anyone knows how to change the option quad pcmcia 3G card to get GPRS connection to the Internet when no 3G network detected????
[09:16] <Sammy> gnomefreak, My bad didn't mean for that to happen
[09:16] <Ayabara> is there a way to check that my display driver is working as it should performancewise?
[09:16] <valierien> Tommy : sure, configure the DNS to get dyn updates from the DHCP server
[09:16] <Bilange> mcpowley:  well... consider a standard ubuntu installation needs like 3 gb to barely breathe, afterwards it depends of how much you add up new programs... but my guess is that you may be able to live well with 10gb, and add an external ext2 on your external too
[09:16] <count> nooby_god: yeah, gotta put the netmask on though
[09:16] <count> nooby_god: well, it might defautl to netmask <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:16] <count> not sure on the default
[09:16] <Bassetts> i have a slight problem with a shared folder on my xp vm, and it displaying in the network servers in nautilus
[09:16] <nooby_god> count: that is my netmask
[09:16] <Matafome> Anyone knows how to change the option quad pcmcia 3G card to get GPRS connection to the Internet when no 3G network detected????
[09:16] <count> Matafome: it doesn't do that automatically?
[09:16] <anoop> hiiiiiiiiiiii
[09:17] <count> Matafome: my evdo card downgrades transparently
[09:17] <anoop> any 1 frm india
[09:17] <nooby_god> Does anone here use amarok?
[09:17] <Matafome> count, yes when I've got 3G signal
[09:17] <Bilange> mcpowley:  err, I meant: and you could also add up with an external ext2 partition for a complementary /home directory... i think you got the point :)
[09:17] <Matafome> but when I don't have 3G signal it just sits blinking red and blue
[09:17] <gnomefreak> anoop: join #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat
[09:17] <Matafome> and don't gets to the GPRS network
[09:17] <Matafome> and I need this
[09:17] <count> Matafome: are you sure your card supports GPRS?
[09:17] <Matafome> yes
[09:18] <Mitja> Can anyone please help me open a port? 80 preferably. I've used iptables, ipchains complains about port being unavailable, and nmap says it's open. However, only local browsers see it. What am I missing here?
[09:18] <Matafome> In windows it supports
[09:18] <Matafome> it's a 3G/GPRS card
[09:18] <Matafome> in suse it worked with both
[09:18] <pixelbunnie> so my question is how to MANUALLY change the PLAY/PREV/NEXT icons in RHYTHMBOX
[09:18] <count> Matafome: sorry, not sure :(
[09:18] <Ademan> anyone here have problems of unreal tournament running WAY WAY too fast? i need to frame rate limit it... really... is there a way to?
[09:18] <valierien> pixelbunnie: get the source, change em and re-build it
[09:18] <count> haha, too fast? :)
[09:18] <untwisted> Ademan why would you ever need to limit your frame rate?
[09:18] <mcpowley> bilange: Yeah, I was kind of confused about that whole partitioning when I installed ubuntu on my external...i made 2 partititions one for the swap and one for /, was I supposed to make anything else?
[09:18] <Bassetts> i changed my xp workgroup from workgroup to mshome as the rest of my windows pcs are on mshome, but ubuntu is still seeing it as on workgroupm how can i fix this?
[09:18] <pixelbunnie> oh boy
[09:18] <AlienX> Ademan, isn't it generally a good thing that the frame rates are high?
[09:19] <pixelbunnie> but I'll try
[09:19] <Matafome> count, you don't know where I can get more info
[09:19] <Mike47> Hello, does anyone have a handle on ubuntu accessibility?  I can'
[09:19] <Bilange> mcpowley:  basically no, but... [typing]
[09:19] <count> Matafome: what kind of card?
[09:19] <we2by> !azureus
[09:19] <count> Try looking through suse's config scripts
[09:19] <ubotu> hmm... azureus is a popular bittorent client written in Java, installation instructions can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AzureusHowTo
[09:19] <count> or driver
[09:19] <valierien> pixelbunnie: hey, at least you can get the source, with windows you have to use white out and crayolas
[09:19] <Matafome> is the option quad globetrotter provided by Vodafone
[09:19] <pixelbunnie> lmao.. this is true
[09:19] <Morodock> Ademan - are you sure it's the frame rate and not clock speed / timing issue? although i thought that only affected older games
[09:19] <cosmic-hobo> The problem with using white-out is, it never comes off the monitor ;)
[09:19] <Bilange> mcpowley:  most people likes to add another partition for the /home directory, where most of the user downloads usually go
[09:19] <pixelbunnie> thanks for the advice
[09:19] <Mike47> t get Gnopernicus to speak...I've done all I can trying various options with a sighted persons help.
[09:19] <basti> Is it normal that once I install compiz/xgl and log inte a xgl session that the fgl_glxgears command stop working??
[09:20] <Ademan> untwisted and AlienX: because when the frame rate gets high the game physically goes faster, rather than just being a good frame rate
[09:20] <valierien> pixelbunnie : for a fee I could show you how to do that
[09:20] <mcpowley> bilange: Oh, i see.so should I just stick that /home dir on external with like 30 gigs?
[09:20] <untwisted> Ademan: the brain can't process more than ~30 frame per second anyway, the more frames per second wouldn't really effect the game play.  This sounds like a different issue.
[09:20] <Bilange> mcpowley:  but thats totally optionnal. the major advantage of doing this is that you can always reinstall ubuntu or any other linux distribution while keeping most of your settings for your programs
[09:20] <mcpowley> bilange: Also, is the linux swap partition essential?
[09:20] <basti> !xgl
[09:20] <ubotu> XGL on Ubuntu: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager - Join #ubuntu-xgl for all the XGL fun on Ubuntu systems.  Pretty videos on http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[09:20] <untwisted> Ademan: which UT are we talking here?  UT, 2k3, or 2k4?
[09:20] <Ademan> untwisted: its because the game isnt time based its frame based
[09:20] <Ademan> the original
[09:20] <valierien> mcpowley : cant boot without it, probably
[09:21] <Bilange> mcpowley:  for the swap, since you mentionned you had only like 64mb of memory, its quite vital, yeah...
[09:21] <Ademan> well, i can only assume thats the case, because thats the symptoms i'm having
[09:21] <valierien> !wine
[09:21] <KuLover> Anyone haveing problems with sound on flash in FireFox?
[09:21] <ubotu> Wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on linux.  see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Wine for more info.
[09:21] <Bassetts> anyone know much about samba?
[09:21] <count> Matafome: are ubuntu and suse using the same driver? same version?
[09:21] <Ademan> and limiting the frame rate SHOULD relieve the symptoms i'm describing
[09:21] <wastrel> KuLover:  there's info about that on the restrictedformats wiki page
[09:21] <Ademan> Bassetts: samba is essentialyl windows share, why?
[09:21] <valierien> bassets what you need?
[09:21] <Matafome> count, in suse I'm using a script from www.pharscape.org
[09:21] <Matafome> the gcom script
[09:22] <count> does it run on ubuntu? :)
[09:22] <untwisted> Would changing the priority with nice help possibly?  It would only be a hack but it might help.
[09:22] <KuLover> Wastrel I thought I had already look, thanks.. I'll look again.
[09:22] <Matafome> but Iin ubuntu the card is detected out of the box
[09:22] <untwisted> I wouldn't be the person to talk to about that really though...
[09:22] <Bilange> mcpowley:  but the /home partition is quite necessary too.. you may boot even if your USB drive isnt there, but once you logged in, the system would whine about not finding your settings (aka the /home directory), so Im not sure how the system would react
[09:22] <Ademan> untwisted: i'll give it a shot
[09:22] <Bratsche> Is it bad to get messages preventing you to boot into the live CD?
[09:22] <Bassetts> Ademan: i have xp in a vm and i used to have vista, ubuntu or smb is still seeing my vista share, and its also seeing my xp share as on the wrong workgroup and the wrong pc name
[09:23] <Matafome> count, if it get's 3G celular network it register in the network and the only thing that I've got to do is dialling the number *99***1#
[09:23] <untwisted> Ademan: stick around here a few more minutes, I'll try to come up with something better
[09:23] <mcpowley> bilange: I actually have 2 gigs memory
[09:23] <valierien> Bassetts : check that the share name is less than 15 chars
[09:23] <Matafome> but I can change the network to GPRS
[09:23] <gnomefreak> cosmic-hobo: than join #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:23] <Ademan> Bassetts: have you tried restarting? it probably needs to refresh
[09:23] <Bassetts> valierien: check
[09:23] <N1X0N> !evolution
[09:23] <ubotu> evolution is, like, an e-mail client. It comes with Ubuntu.
[09:23] <valierien> ...the NB spec sticks stuff right in the name at pos 15 on
[09:23] <Bassetts> Ademan: restarted the vm
[09:23] <m0Zzg> http://linuxff.org.ru
[09:23] <count> Matafome: check this out:
[09:23] <cosmic-hobo> I should stick around, gnomefreak - I might learn something ;)
[09:23] <Ademan> Bassetts: no you should restart samba, or your computer
[09:23] <ackeubu_> Hey guys, I have 2 ubuntu machines and 1 mac on my network. I believe I can connect to the mac with smb. But I cant connect to my ubuntu machines. How do I set up my ubuntus to allow access to eachother?
[09:24] <count> Matafome: > http://www.pharscape.org/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=28
[09:24] <count> Matafome: look at uh
[09:24] <Bassetts> Ademan: how do i restart samba?
[09:24] <Ademan> Bassetts: since its samba that needs to refresh
[09:24] <count> Matafome: 2.3
[09:24] <Ademan> Bassetts: i'd personally just restart your comp
[09:24] <Matafome> ok count Im gonna take a look
[09:24] <valierien> bassetts: Is this a NT partition?
[09:24] <mcpowley> bilange: Okay, so im just trying to figure out right now how I should partition my drives...so i think a 40 gig ntfs, and then the rest linux...but im kinda confused how to partition...like how much to /home, swap, and /
[09:24] <count> Matafome: you probably need to adjust your AT commands when you dial to get both
[09:24] <Bassetts> Ademan: ok
[09:24] <Bassetts> brb then
[09:24] <Matafome> count, but the problem isn't that
[09:24] <valierien> bassets: /etc/rc.d/rc.samba restart
[09:24] <Bilange> mcpowley:  oh, sorry. I saw someone else answer gave me his specs and though he was you. Since you have 2gb of swap file, you dont need to make a big partition for swapping... 1gb will do
[09:24] <Matafome> I've tried this already count
[09:25] <count> Matafome: you set AT_OPSYS=5 ?
[09:25] <Matafome> yes
[09:25] <nooby_god> Does anyone here use Amarok?
[09:25] <KuLover> I do
[09:25] <Bassetts> valierien: that doesnt work
[09:25] <valierien> shoot they changed that too
[09:25] <nooby_god> Amarok is not playing audio for me
[09:25] <nooby_god> at all
[09:25] <Bassetts> valierien: bash: /etc/rc.d/rc.samba: No such file or directory
[09:25] <Bassetts> brb
[09:25] <Matafome> count,  it get a kernel translator automatically
[09:25] <we2by> how do I configure gnome to draw the window border only when moving windows?
[09:25] <Matafome> to put the card working
[09:25] <KuLover> Look at the Restriced formats wiki page, nooby_god.
[09:26] <count> Matafome: kernel translator?
[09:26] <Bilange> mcpowley:  to give you an example, on my 40gb installation, i have 15gb for /, 25 or so for /home, and the rest for my swap
[09:26] <Matafome> it tries to get interface
[09:26] <untwisted> Ademan:  Yah, I can't really find anything else or think of any way to slow it down other than with priority.  You'll want to give it a *higher* nice nuber (try 19)
[09:26] <Matafome> I'm not in ubuntu because this I can't post the messages from my /var/log/messages
[09:26] <Twinxor> thanks for the help
[09:27] <Bilange> mcpowley:  but if you use your external drive alot, you may also trim your /home a bit, but id say that 10 to 15gb for the / partition is more than sufficent, whatever you choose
[09:27] <count> Arrrrrgghhh
[09:27] <count> apt-get is pissing me off
[09:27] <livingdaylight> I tried:  mms://<IP_ADDRESS>:3003/worldcup2006 but it won't open with Totem. Can someone help me try to open it with Realplayer, or tell me what is missing with Totem?
[09:27] <Spy> hey all
[09:27] <count> Is anyone using us.archive.ubuntu.com in their sources.list??
[09:27] <valierien> well, this is fun
[09:27] <Matafome> count,  it appears in var/log/messages option quad driver --> connect to dev/ttyUSB0 to /dev/ttyUSB0
[09:27] <rbgCODE_> count I am
[09:28] <Matafome> but this is applyed in the pcmcia
[09:28] <count> rbgCODE_: are you having any issues with timing out?  I've been trying for like an hour to get a stupid package installed
[09:28] <count> rbgCODE_: it keeps timing out at 99%
[09:28] <NoUse> !us
[09:28] <ubotu> **NB** The US Archives are having frequent issues, remove the "us" out of your  sources.list by typing >> sudo sed -i 's/us\.//g' /etc/apt/sources.list <<in a terminal (Menu applications accessories terminal)
[09:28] <Matafome> I only need the commands to change to GPRS but I can't find it anywhere
[09:28] <Bratsche> What's SMP?
[09:28] <cwojack> Looking for help with wpc54gs v2. on a IBM Think pad.  I have done all the items in the items in the forum artical that says how to install but I used the driver from the artical not the one on the disk.  What do I do now?  I am a nubee.
[09:28] <rbgCODE_> count which package?  or updating the list?
[09:28] <count> NoUse: haha, thanks - that didn't work though :(
[09:28] <untwisted> Ademan: Oooh, you could try disabling 3d rendering and using software rendering mode to slow it down too!
[09:28] <mcpowley> BIlange: I guess i'll do a 30/30 gigs, and just keep game isos on my external...and saved games on external. So for / i'd have about 10, for /home i'd have about 18 gigs, and swap 1 gig...sound good?
[09:28] <count> rbgCODE_: everything, but specifically trying to get postgres installed
[09:28] <Tommy2k4> how can i set up samba so that i can mount a networked windows drive by pc name instead of ip
[09:28] <Cntryboy> hey ya'll I just installed java and trying to go to yahoo and play poker, but its still asking me for java plugin
[09:28] <Matafome> in ubuntu at the portuguese IRC network I've asked to everybody at the ubuntu channel
[09:28] <count> NoUse: I tried that too, but I'm still getting 99% :(
[09:29] <Tommy2k4> all samba tutorials i can find are about sharing linux to windows not vice versa
[09:29] <Cntryboy> anyone know what this deal is
[09:29] <Matafome> but no one can help
[09:29] <rbgCODE_> I just did a quick test mine is working fine
[09:29] <count> Matafome: that AT command set is what tells the card to do GPRS or UTMS
[09:29] <rbgCODE_> count
[09:29] <thething> what's the command for starting up gnome from the command line?
[09:29] <livingdaylight> Guys! can someone help me?
[09:29] <count> thething: gnome-session
[09:29] <rbgCODE_> startx
[09:29] <Ademan> untwisted: haha that might be a bit TOO slow, but thanks, i'll give it a shot
[09:29] <livingdaylight>  mms://<IP_ADDRESS>:3003/worldcup2006 can't get this to work in Totem
[09:29] <Spy> how do i install hardware acceleration for my nvidia gfx card?
[09:29] <thething> sudo startx didn't work
[09:29] <Matafome> count, yes but this isn't working
[09:29] <rbgCODE_> wat happened to just X?
[09:29] <Drake_> when downloading large packages breezy seems to freeze up and then I don't have any connection to my gateway router, where would I found the source of that?
[09:29] <joebush> Does Ubunto use X.org or XFree86?
[09:29] <count> xorg
[09:29] <joebush> count: thanks
[09:29] <Matafome> count,  and in suse it works very well
[09:29] <thething> it's so i can connect to my ubuntu machine using tightvnc
[09:29] <TheSheep> Bratsche: you mean kernel? it's for the double processors
[09:30] <Cntryboy> Can someone help me with java please?
[09:30] <NoUse> joebush very few distros left use xfree86
[09:30] <count> Matafome: that's the only thing I'm able to find referencing a difference between GPRS and UTMS
[09:30] <rbgCODE_> what is your java problem?
[09:30] <nooby_god> sudo is not working for me I get this error -> sudo: timestamp too far in the future
[09:30] <jadaz87> Cntryboy: what is your problem with java?
[09:30] <Bilange> mcpowley:  sounds good, as long as you dont fear about getting slowdowns when gaming from your external drive... you can also enlarge your windows partition by reducing the /home one, keeping /home big enough for your most important data (when you're not going to have your external around)
[09:30] <Matafome> ok count thnks for your help
[09:30] <joebush> NoUse: I know, so I had to know :)
[09:30] <count> NoUse: if regular 'archive.ubunutu.com' is giving me 99% timeouts, what else can I do :)

[09:31] <Snake> how do I get ubuntus C complier?
[09:31] <Snake> Does Build-Essential come with it?
[09:31] <bcc_> guys, i created two files and looped to two devices and then put those devices under a raid1, and now after creating some files on the raid, the two files differ. shouldn't they both be the same?
[09:31] <Bratsche> TheSheep: All I know is that when I boot off the live CD of xubuntu (I have a slow computer), a message appears saying "SMP mptable: null local APID address"
[09:31] <Matafome> If I can get ubuntu working with 3G I will get here and post the /var/log/messages at pastebin to anybody that can help take alook
[09:31] <jadaz87> snake build-essentials

[09:31] <kudzubane> Snake: install gcc
[09:31] <ubotu> or if you get errors saying gcc cannot create executables, or that you can't find header files like stdio.h, or get "make: command not found, then you need to do a    sudo apt-get install build-essential.
[09:31] <livingdaylight> Hexidigital: common, i have been, but no sign of life and the screen just scrolling along
[09:31] <nalioth> Snake: install build-essential (no s)
[09:31] <Flannel> Snake: you need to install it
[09:31] <gnomefreak> Snake: sudo apt-get install build-essential

[09:31] <joebush> Can anyone refer me to info (or just tell me) what advantage Ubuntu actually has over Debian?
[09:31] <Snake> Ok

[09:31] <count> NoUse: Thanks
[09:31] <Snake> (im running default kernel)
[09:31] <Hexidigital> livingdaylight:: nein... i do not have realplayer
[09:32] <livingdaylight> Hexidigital: nothing works with Totem. But it is supposed to work with realplayer
[09:32] <Flannel> joebush: packages are preconfigured to work with each other.  Releases have shorter timeframe, more regular.
[09:32] <jadaz87> joebush: more support
[09:32] <rbgCODE_> HOLY CRAP 5 new updates for ubuntu just posted
[09:32] <count> Snake: they're not installed by default

[09:32] <Snake> count: ho do I get them
[09:32] <TheSheep> Bratsche: the acronym stands for simultaneus multi processing
[09:32] <livingdaylight> Hexidigital: how can i choose realplayer instead of totem kicking in, ja?
[09:32] <Hexidigital> livingdaylight:: you said you cannot get to work with totem
[09:32] <count> you have to install linux source package
[09:32] <joebush> Great. Was afraid they were too closely tied in with Debians packages
[09:32] <joebush> Thanks for the info
[09:32] <Bassetts> Ademan: the workgroup called "workgroup" is still there, but my vista pc has gone
