[03:43] <[erisco] > okay thanks sproingie
[03:44] <WC`> Pelo: no effect. Still get a blank screen when I try to come back from suspend.
[03:44] <mzli> JohnM555, :P
[03:44] <caffiend> samin: cp -a /mnt/somewhere /dev/destination ??
[03:44] <Pelo> WC`,  it was worth a shot
[03:44] <WC`> Indeed
[03:44] <JohnM555> Ugh...I just installed the dependancy, yet the other dependancy says it isn't satisfiable!(Just frustrated)
[03:45] <FlavioTrash> alguem pode me ajudar aqui com o no-ip?
[03:45] <Poromenos> ok, i set my ip to static, but the DNS servers aren't stored in /etc/network/interfaces, where are they?
[03:45] <FlavioTrash> no-ip
[03:45] <tonyyarusso> !pt | FlavioTrash
[03:45] <ubotu> FlavioTrash: Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigada.
[03:45] <tonyyarusso> (Did I get that right?)
[03:45] <magnet> Poromenos: /etc/resolv.conf
[03:45] <Poromenos> magnet: thanks
[03:45] <FlavioTrash>  so uma pergunta sobre o no-ip
[03:46] <mzli> FlavioTrash, what's your language?
[03:46] <bkinman> what is the key command to restart the x server?
[03:46] <magnet> bkinman: /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[03:46] <bkinman> heh, that works.
[03:47] <magnet> or Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
[03:47] <caffiend> does cp -a copy all the subdirectories or do I need an R or r in there?
[03:47] <FlavioTrash> alguem pode me ajudar aqui com o no-ip?
[03:47] <Samin> caffiend, yeah add -R
[03:47] <FlavioTrash> alguem pode me ajudar aqui com o no-ip?
[03:47] <caffiend> thanks!
[03:47] <LjL> !pt | FlavioTrash
[03:47] <ubotu> FlavioTrash: Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigada.
[03:48] <WC`> Interesting
[03:48] <lullabud> caffiend:  you need the -r
[03:48] <WC`> When i go to put it into standby, it activates the screensaver for some reason
[03:48] <lullabud> caffiend:  er... -R.  dammit, i wish they'd keep the capitalization for common switches consistent.
[03:49] <tonyyarusso> WC`: I've noticed that my screensaver kicks in when I close my laptop lid, making the machine heat up.
[03:49] <nexl> hi all
[03:49] <magnet> lullabud: POSIX's -r is just a loose -R, but GNU's -r is the same as -R :)
[03:49] <novaterata> how could people that use both vi and emacs keep anything consistent
[03:49] <FlavioTrash> alguem pode me ajudar aqui com o no-ip?
[03:49] <magnet> novaterata: the same way people use qwerty then dvorak keymaps :)
[03:50] <WC`> tony: i can't recover from going into standby, and I just read the screensaver might have something to do with it. Know of any way to disable it?
[03:50] <tonyyarusso> FlavioTrash: Sorry, this is an English-only channel.  You may do better elsewhere.
[03:50] <edgarin> Hi to all
[03:50] <sproingie> portugese or not, repeating the question every few seconds is not cool
[03:50] <nexl> anyone knows why my samba shares won't mount themselves, but a "sudo mount -a" works?
[03:51] <nexl> I mean at boot time
[03:51] <pontusen> is anyone here using opendchub?
[03:51] <JohnM555> Why does god hate me?   If just the originals, could use a CD
[03:53] <rhodri> hi, is there a way to just install specific parts of a package?  my problem is i need to install the restricted-modules package to make my wifi card work, but when i do it stops my ati driver from working for some reason.  so could i just install the wifi driver from this package somehow?  thanks
[03:53] <novaterata> either i chmodded the worng thing or the dapper to edgy upgrade did it but i can't su or sudo, i can use root terminal though, what do i need to chmod to what?
[03:53] <JohnM555> magnet: Good idea :P
[03:53] <tonyyarusso> JohnM555: Might still work if you have the cache
[03:53] <Samin> magnet, heh
[03:53] <JohnM555> tonyyarusso I'll try :\
[03:53] <novaterata> if i su or sudo it says incorrect password even though its the one root console uses
[03:54] <Samin> magnet, wow! those links are for real! :D
[03:54] <novaterata> Ubuntu Christian Edition actually looks pretty loaded for a distro
[03:54] <magnet> Samin: haha :)
[03:54] <magnet> of course there are
[03:54] <WC`> disabling the screensaver didn't work :(
[03:54] <sproingie> jesubuntu
[03:54] <magnet> don't underestimate crazy people on the net :)
[03:55] <novaterata> or X-ubuntu.... oh nwm
[03:55] <Samin> magnet ;)
[03:55] <tonyyarusso> novaterata: Ubuntu comes with X now?  No way!
[03:55] <novaterata> nvm i mean
[03:55] <sproingie> or go with the greek spelling and call it iesubuntu
[03:55] <lullabud> tonyyarusso:  mine didn't. :(
[03:55] <tonyyarusso> sad
[03:55] <JohnM555> "Package network-manager-gnome is not availible, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only availible from another source" Yay! :\
[03:55] <magnet> rhodri: there is no easy way
[03:56] <rhodri> so...  what's the hard way?  :-/
[03:56] <magnet> (but it *is* possible)
[03:56] <rhodri> download the package and look inside myself?
[03:56] <Samin> JohnM555, had the same message a couple of days ago when I tried installing audacious ( or was it something else?) I tried later and it worked
[03:56] <magnet> well, you build your kernel modules and package them :)
[03:56] <JohnM555> Samin: Well you had internet :P
[03:57] <rhodri> i see...  no way to just take out what i need from the package?
[03:57] <Samin> JohnM555, yeah, don't you? how come you are online now?:P
[03:57] <JohnM555> magnet: The whole point of this is to get wireless working, I should probably just be able to get it working via the terminal
[03:57] <magnet> no downloading the package is bad, modules need to configure your /etc/modprobe.d/, /etc/modules and so on
[03:57] <Pelo> g'night folks
[03:57] <novaterata> I bet Ubuntu C.E. could be turned into Xenobuntu pretty easily just add some samurai swords and talking bunnies
[03:57] <Samin> rhodri, you need to take a specific file from a .deb file?
[03:57] <JohnM555> samin: I'm on my XP laptop, my ubuntu is on my pc next to me with no internet
[03:57] <Samin> JohnM555, oh I see
[03:58] <h3htimo> hey guys, im having trouble with fgrlx not working properly, im running edgy and i used this: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Edgy_Installation_Guide#Method_1:_Installing_Edgy.27s_Included_Driver_.2<IP_ADDRESS> to upgrade but nothing seems to be working... any idea??
[03:58] <h3htimo> ideas?
[03:58] <JohnM555> Samin: Its definately a pain :P
[03:58] <novaterata> sooo is beryl a good idea right now?
[03:58] <WC`> Is it normal for Ubuntu not to recognize what processor you have?
[03:58] <lullabud> JohnM555:  no sneaker net of any sort?  or no firewire?
[03:58] <rhodri> Samin: yeah, i just want the userspace binary package for the ipw3945 module (i think)
[03:58] <Samin> JohnM555, same thing here believe me, I am on xp now, because I screwed my ubuntu box ( and working on getting it online too) :P
[03:58] <JohnM555> lullabud: Sneaker net?
[03:58] <lullabud> JohnM555:  you know.  floppy disk, usb disk, thumb drive.
[03:59] <JohnM555> lullabud: I have been using a usb drive to transfer some debs
[03:59] <lullabud> JohnM555:  soooo....?  is this .deb too large or what?
[03:59] <rhodri> Samin: or if i could just edit the package to not install the fglrx part maybe?  somehow?  :-/
[03:59] <magnet> JohnM555: ethernet ?
[03:59] <novaterata> is it running slower than it should WC?
[03:59] <JohnM555> samin: But did you have your ability to add WEP passwords to your interface magically disapear :P
[04:00] <JohnM555> magnet: No, if I had ethernet I wouldn't need wireless. Its not a laptop(with ubuntu)
[04:00] <WC`> nova: no, it seems to be running just fine
[04:00] <Samin> rhodri, I don't understand you well, can't you just "dpkg -x foo.deb" this will extract the files in a directory, is that what yo want?
[04:00] <WC`> a celeron M 1.5ghz
[04:00] <lullabud> JohnM555:  you could disable wep, install the stuff, then re-enable it.
[04:00] <WC`> however in device manager, it says "unknown" under everything
[04:00] <JohnM555> lullabud: No, I even installed it, but the other dependancy doesn't think its installed, I even tried reinstalling it
[04:00] <magnet> JohnM555: desktops may have ethernet too you know :) any decent PC ought to have at least one ethernet plug
[04:00] <JohnM555> lullabud: Yea but I don't have control of the AP
[04:00] <rhodri> yes!  that would be a start atleast, can i then edit it and install it as i'd like?
[04:01] <Rookie_> If the device manager says unknown it can be a good idea to tell the manager what it is
[04:01] <JohnM555> magnet: My pc has ethernet, but I
[04:01] <lullabud> JohnM555:  you could do IP over serial, IP over firewire...
[04:01] <Samin> rhodri, yeah
[04:01] <JohnM555> but im too far from my cable modem for that
[04:01] <magnet> JohnM555: ok
[04:01] <nexl> g'night all
[04:01] <WC`> Rookie: how do I do that?
[04:01] <magnet> well, go on on usinh usb storage devices then
[04:01] <Rookie_> you know what you have ?
[04:01] <magnet> s/usinh/using
[04:01] <pastillegirl> burner, thanks!! i did it :)
[04:01] <rhodri> Samin:  ok, thanks for the hple that's excellent, i
[04:01] <pastillegirl> working great :)
[04:02] <rhodri> m gonna look into it now, cheers!
[04:02] <Samin> rhodri, you're welcome :)
[04:02] <lullabud> JohnM555:  you could use the original install cd...
[04:02] <WC`> Rookie: yes
[04:02] <JohnM555> magnet: Do you guys have any idea why my ability to set my wep encryption on my interface would go away. Its not even listed in iwconfig
[04:02] <JohnM555> lullabud: How would I use it, to get packages? I do have it in, I guess I should search on their first
[04:02] <Rookie_> Oki, sorry but i just saw the last lines ... so if you know what you have and its installed ... what was your problem ?
[04:02] <magnet> JohnM555: no I'm still in the ethernet era :) I don't have any wifi devices anywhere
[04:02] <lullabud> JohnM555:  apt-cdrom
[04:03] <JohnM555> magnet: Lucky :P
[04:03] <magnet> JohnM555: my brain is :)
[04:03] <JohnM555> lullabud: I didn't know that command existed :P. I was using  the Synaptic Package Manager
[04:04] <magnet> wifi is like cigarets, D-link and Netgear will be sued in 30 years just like Marlboro and Philip Morris were :))
[04:04] <caffiend> lullabud: Samin: Thanks for the help.  I did cp -Rav /source/* to /destination/ and it is moving along GREAT!!
[04:04] <WC`> Rookie: I'm having some problems recovering from standby mode, since the fixes on the forum don't work, I'm trying to see if maybe it's a driver/hardware unrecognized issue
[04:04] <Samin> caffiend, glad it worked :)
[04:04] <magnet> 'night ppl
[04:04] <lullabud> caffiend:  doesn't it feel great when things work how you want them to?  especially at the terminal?  God i love that shit.
[04:04] <JohnM555> lullabud: How do I use apt-cdrom?
[04:05] <JohnM555> magnet: Cya, thanks for um, trying to help :P
[04:05] <lullabud> JohnM555:  `apt-cdrom`.  it'll aks you to put in a cd.
[04:05] <magnet> lol :)
[04:05] <magnet> np :)
[04:05] <JohnM555> lullabud: The cd is already in :P
[04:05] <lullabud> JohnM555:  you put it in.  it scans it.  then you just `apt-get install` like normal.
[04:05] <Rookie_> I see - i heard of this problem ( dont have it my self ) - sorry then, but i dont have a clue, sorry i took up your time
[04:05] <JohnM555> lullabud: Oh...
[04:05] <caffiend> lullabud: yeah, especiall since I've been dealing with one probelm for hours and am on the right path now!
[04:06] <lullabud> caffiend:  long problems learn you good.  today i finally got an ubuntu 6.06 install working on a Dell 2850 with a Perc 5 RAID controller.  the shizz you have to go through... wow.
[04:06] <lullabud> yeah, i learned a lot...
[04:07] <lullabud> caffiend:  was working on that for 2 weeks.
[04:07] <JohnM555> lullabud: I'm just going to try wifi again via the command line...I just need to figure out why I can't even see that there is no encryption, the entire option is hidden from view and setting it returns an error
[04:07] <JohnM555> lullabud: Is there a way for me to reset all wireless settings?
[04:07] <lullabud> JohnM555:  yeah, i've had bad luck with wifi in ubuntu.
[04:07] <Intelligitimate> Has anyone ever tried to get Pythonol to work? It is like the only educational Linux software for learning Spanish.
[04:07] <Samin> I found an English-Greek wordlist http://xdxf.revdanica.com/down/, in case anyone needs it :)
[04:08] <Samin> Intelligitimate, I had it installed once
[04:08] <lullabud> JohnM555:  hmmm... if so, it's probably a cached file in /var/* somewhere.
[04:08] <JohnM555> lullabud: Yay, fun :)
[04:08] <Intelligitimate> Well I tried for hours to get it to install, and it never worked. I even downloaded the rpm thing and converted it to a deb, and it still didn't work.
[04:08] <lullabud> JohnM555:  you could try doing a dpkg-reconfigure on whatever the wireless packages are too.
[04:08] <caffiend> lullabud: Samin: have either of you heard of an error coming up "nobody cared" Disabling IRQ 10, 17 or 169?  It is driving me nuts!  I hve 3 P4 boxes and not one will load linux cuz of that.. so I'm trying USB..
[04:08] <Samin> Intelligitimate, dependencies problems?
[04:09] <Samin> I used alien too, then apt-get -f install , and it worked :)
[04:09] <lullabud> caffiend:  LOL, no, i've never heard of that, but thank God for humorous coders. :)
[04:09] <Intelligitimate> I don't know. I am still pretty new to Linux. Been using Ubuntu for about 3 months or so now.
[04:09] <JohnM555> lullabud: Well I'm using ndiswrapper...I've installed the driver successfully. About the only successful thing I've done besides complete some Mahjongg games on here.
[04:09] <jman_> Hi I am having some problems running OpenOffice, whenever I go to launch it, it does nothing, I tried running through the terminal same results with no output in the terminal any ideas besides reinstalling?
[04:10] <JohnM555> Dont know if that matters or not :P
[04:10] <Jordan_U> Intelligitimate: Using converted RPMs rarely works.
[04:10] <lullabud> JohnM555:  oh.  i've never used that.
[04:10] <jman_> I am running 6.06 dapper drake
[04:10] <bkinman> exit
[04:10] <sloucher> I just got a new SATA drive. It's great but it doesn't show up with df . How do I tell how much diskspace i'm using?
[04:10] <Intelligitimate> That was the closest thing I got to running Pythonol, Jordan_U.
[04:10] <caffiend> lullabud: long problems are do learn u good!  I know a lot I'll never forget!  I lauged my arse off after reading that.  there are a ton of hit on google for "nobody cared" but they are all different.  Is there a way to report them and get help or at least make them known?
[04:10] <lullabud> jman_:  anything in the syslog?
[04:11] <lullabud> caffiend:  check the syslog and see if you see anything relating to it at the same time.  or try `dmesg`
[04:11] <khaije1> sloucher: df measures file systems not disks, is there a file system on it?
[04:11] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: if you get a moment, can you take a look at http://piano.juicemedia.tv/junk/alsaprobs <-- I can't make any sense of it, it all seems like mush to me, seems like it can't load/register some important modules? '...' is where I took out parts that didn't seem important
[04:11] <Jordan_U> Intelligitimate: There is also kverbos, but that is only for verb forms.
[04:11] <lullabud> sloucher:  `cfdisk /dev/sdb` or whatever the disk is.
[04:11] <floats> help
[04:11] <sloucher> khaije1, yes everything is on one partition
[04:12] <LjL> !helpme | floats
[04:12] <ubotu> floats: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:12] <Samin> floats, your cat is on fire ?:P
[04:12] <caffiend> lullabud: but it hangs in the install and I have to reboot.  would there be a syslog or dmsg if I reboot?
[04:12] <khaije1> sloucher: ^^ see lullabud?
[04:12] <sproingie> hm, i'm getting locale-related error messages: locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
[04:12] <sproingie> anyone know how to resolve that?
[04:12] <floats> ok thank you
[04:12] <floats> cat ?
[04:12] <sproingie> my LANG is en_US.UTF-8
[04:12] <sloucher> what's lullabud?
[04:12] <Intelligitimate> Anything else you would recommend, Jordan_U?
[04:12] <crimsun> sproingie: sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
[04:13] <lullabud> caffiend:  dmesg is cleared on reboot, but the syslog isn't.
[04:13] <sproingie> crimsun thanks :)
[04:13] <lullabud> sloucher:  i'm lullabud.
[04:13] <sloucher> oh
[04:13] <lullabud> sloucher:  and i said to try `cfdisk /dev/sdb`
[04:13] <kingace> hello, im trying to run a game and it's telling me that I need at least opengl 1.3 (i have 1.2 apparently). how would I go about upgrading it?
[04:13] <valehru> hey guys, I have some wmv files that won't play on my system....any pointers?
[04:13] <caffiend> lullabud: where would the syslog be stored?  That might help me out ALOT!
[04:14] <JohnM555> Whats the terminal command to shutdown?
[04:14] <sloucher> yeah, i did that but i don't want to format the disk - it's up and going and fine. I just want to see how much file space is left
[04:14] <LjL> JohnM555: shutdown :)
[04:14] <lullabud> caffiend:  /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages
[04:14] <fiveiron> ok, shouldn't there be a route configured by default to listen on port 67 for DHCP requests if I've got dhcpd running?
[04:14] <lullabud> sloucher:  it tells you at the top of that window.
[04:14] <caffiend> How to you enable univers and multivers repositories
[04:14] <JohnM555> Ljl: I tried that, but it says try 'shutdown --help' for more information :\
[04:14] <khaije1> !codec | valehru
[04:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about codec - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:14] <JohnM555> I try shutdown -h, but that didn't work
[04:14] <jman_> lullabud, it's not showing anything pertaining to OpenOffice
[04:14] <khaije1> !codecs | valehru
[04:14] <ubotu> valehru: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[04:14] <LjL> !man | JohnM555
[04:14] <ubotu> JohnM555: The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[04:14] <lullabud> caffiend:  `vi /etc/apt/sources.lst` then :% s/^# //g
[04:15] <caffiend> lullabud: It doesn't even get that far :(  I might take some digi pics
[04:15] <rickyfingers> sudo shutdown -h now
[04:15] <lullabud> caffiend:  at least that's how i do it... but i rarely have a gui. :P
[04:15] <sproingie> argh.  i wish i could get ssh to switch my terminal background colors or something
[04:15] <lullabud> jman_:  huh?
[04:15] <sproingie> i keep typing stuff into a remote shell thinking it's a local one
[04:15] <valehru> khaijel, sorry if I wasnt clear, it says that the file is encrypted.  I already have the wmv codecs on my system.
[04:15] <Jordan_U> Intelligitimate: I am looking for a .deb now, have you tried compiling from source?
[04:16] <Intelligitimate> Unsuccessfully.
[04:16] <kitche> JohnM555: did you try halt or shutdown -h now
[04:16] <JohnM555> kitche: I didn :\
[04:16] <jman_> lullabud: this is what I was reffering to:Hi I am having some problems running OpenOffice, whenever I go to launch it, it does nothing, I tried running through the terminal same results with no output in the terminal any ideas besides reinstalling?
[04:16] <lullabud> JohnM555:  i hate the shutdown command.  i always use `reboot` or `poweroff`
[04:16] <sproingie> actually .. how do i tell gnome-terminal to start up with a different profile?
[04:16] <jman_> their was nothing in syslog pertaining to that
[04:16] <jman_> just DHCP stuff
[04:16] <sproingie> from the CLI that is
[04:17] <nOnkeeEe> i got 6.10 installed and installed beryl and couldnt get themes to load. i restarted the system and not i get the ubuntu load screen then stays on a black screen.  no keys do anything
[04:17] <JohnM555> Ah I got it :P
[04:17] <lullabud> jman_:  ooooh, right.  um....  hmm....  i wonder if there's a verbose switch for OOO.
[04:17] <tonyyarusso> jman_: su to it?
[04:17] <caffiend> lullabud: pics with my camera of the text mode install on the monitor
[04:17] <caffiend> lullabud: how long u been using linux?
[04:17] <lullabud> caffiend:  um....
[04:17] <khaije1> valehru: not all wmv formats are playable, the newer ones don't have working codecs available iirc, if you can verify the files are good then i would check to see their version info
[04:17] <jman_> tonyyarusso, tried it nothing
[04:17] <lullabud> caffiend:  i forgot.  over 10 years.
[04:17] <sproingie> nvm, i read the nice help screen and found the rather verbose  --window-with-profile option
[04:18] <valehru> khaijel, k, thx
[04:18] <Jordan_U> Intelligitimate: What erros did you get, you probably just need some dependencies.
[04:18] <lullabud> caffiend:  i think the first linux i played with was redhat 4 or 5.
[04:18] <Intelligitimate> It has been a long time since I tried, Jordan.
[04:19] <Intelligitimate> I don't remember.
[04:19] <JohnM555> Now that there are some more people here, is there a way to reset all my wireless settings? I get errors trying to set my wep key now(on my eth2 interface) It used to work before(the wireless never has though. Doing iwconfig it doesn't even show that there is no key like it used to :\
[04:19] <nOnkeeEe> i got 6.10 installed and installed beryl and couldnt get themes to load. i restarted the system and not i get the ubuntu load screen then stays on a black screen.  no keys do anything. anyone have any ideas?
[04:19] <caffiend> lullabud: is the etc/apt/sources.list?  or .lst?    Also, I want to run a virtual server.  what's the best setup for that?
[04:19] <JohnM555> I'm just full of problems
[04:19] <lullabud> caffiend:  probably .list, whichever file exists there.
[04:19] <lullabud> caffiend:  i'd go with vmware for its portability.
[04:20] <JohnM555> I bet Ljl is sick of me, I'm on everyday asking for help :\
[04:20] <Imme> So is anyone in here using the usplash-switcher.c from Seveas ?
[04:20] <slavik> When I boot, I have GDM set to autolog me in ... when Gnome loads, X dies, after X restarts, I am presented with GDM screen, after logging in, everything works fine (X doesn't die). even if I set GDM to not auto log me in, X still dies the first time it is started ...
[04:21] <caffiend> lullabud: VMware, but what should I use for the base install? Is ubuntu server a good bet, or what would you reccommend.  I've used fedora too
[04:21] <TGPO> QEMU is more portable
[04:21] <lullabud> caffiend:  i love ubuntu for server shizz.  i'd definitely go with it.
[04:21] <slavik> caffiend: my experience with ubuntu and fc5 ... it doesn't matter ... it is all linux in the end ...
[04:22] <Jordan_U> JohnM555: Have you tried using wifi-radar or network-manager?
[04:22] <caffiend> lullabud: sorry for all the Q's, but you are the most knowledgeable and helpful person I've found here.  I really appreciate it
[04:22] <lullabud> TGPO:  QEMU is also more overhead.
[04:22] <slavik> caffiend: I feel insulted :P
[04:22] <lullabud> caffiend:  no problemo.  questions that are answerable are always nice.
[04:22] <lullabud> LOL
[04:22] <TGPO> lullabud, have you used it with the accelerator patch?
[04:22] <lullabud> TGPO:  i've used it on non-intel hardware. ;-)
[04:23] <JohnM555> Jordan: I've tried using wifi-radar, it never connects, I've tried using network-manager, but I have missing dependancies installing network-manager-gnome even though the dependancies are installed. Im cursed.
[04:23] <lullabud> TGPO:  er... non x86 hardware.
[04:23] <TGPO> lullabud I understood
[04:23] <caffiend> lullabud: slavik: u can tell I'm new to Linux.  I havea degree in MIS but want to migrate from MS to Linux.  What is a very good distro to learn to find a good paying job?
[04:23] <sproingie> does ubuntu server use the same kernel image as desktop?
[04:23] <JohnM555> If its matters...I', on an amd 64
[04:23] <dsnyders> Thanks to everyone who tried to help me fix my botched edgy eft upgrade.
[04:24] <lullabud> caffiend:  good paying job huh...  probably redhat.
[04:24] <johnny_> ello everyone
[04:24] <slavik> caffiend: you want to to Linux administration?
[04:24] <TGPO> caffiend, for the most part you need to speak RH
[04:24] <lullabud> caffiend:  but that could change.  it's like slavik said, it's all linux in the end.
[04:24] <sproingie> caffiend: redhat.  full stop.
[04:24] <segin> what is the windo manager theme used in kubuntu 6.06LTS?
[04:24] <Jordan_U> JohnM555: Try: "sudo apt-get -f install"
[04:25] <lullabud> segin:  i assume you mean "the version of the window manager..." ?
[04:25] <JohnM555> Jordan: No internet :(
[04:25] <segin> lullabud: No.
[04:25] <Jordan_U> JohnM555: :(
[04:25] <Jimbo> which codec pack is recommended for mp3 files?
[04:25] <lullabud> segin:  kubuntu is a KDE version of ubuntu.  KDE is the window manager.
[04:25] <Jimbo> total n00b here
[04:25] <JohnM555> Jordan_U: Exactly
[04:25] <segin> lullabud: I mean, what style did they use for the windowmanager (kwin)
[04:25] <sproingie> caffiend: download CentOS and you can learn RHEL that way (CentOS is RHEL with the names filed off)
[04:25] <slavik> lullabud: KDE is a desktop environment :P
[04:25] <Jordan_U> !restricted | Jimbo
[04:25] <ubotu> Jimbo: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[04:25] <lullabud> segin:  ah, that i don't know.
[04:25] <johnny_> what command would you use to uninstall a program or app from terminal?
[04:25] <lullabud> slavik:  is there a difference?
[04:26] <sloucher> I'm looking at my file system on edgy eft. There's no /etc/fstab? Where would you guess my sata hard drive is mounted?
[04:26] <segin> lullabud: I wanted to use that style on my gentoo system.
[04:26] <lullabud> johnny_:  apt-get remove
[04:26] <slavik> lullabud: a window manager does not have panels ;)
[04:26] <kitche> sproingie: umm oracle is closer to RHEL
[04:26] <sproingie> no fstab at all?  how do you even have a root filesystem
[04:26] <Jordan_U> johnny_: sudo apt-get remove <package>
[04:26] <whatthedeuce> I'm in the middle of compiling a new kernel, and I have to go.  How bad would it be if I halted midway through?
[04:26] <TGPO> sloucher look again
[04:26] <lullabud> slavik:  panels huh...  i see...
[04:26] <johnny_> kk tyty
[04:26] <caffiend> Thanks for the distro info!!
[04:26] <sproingie> kitche: it's also not free.  half price, yes, but not free
[04:26] <sloucher> lol, well it's there but empty? let me check again
[04:26] <segin> whatthedeuce: ^C halted?
[04:26] <lullabud> whatthedeuce:  just background it
[04:26] <kitche> sproingie: umm you can download oracle unbreakable for free what costs money is the support
[04:27] <lullabud> whatthedeuce:  ....and don't turn your system off or close the terminal window.
[04:27] <slavik> caffiend: the most important thing to understand about Linux is why there are distributions ... a distribution is like a base package. The differences are what comes installed by default and what tools are created by the distribution developers. Red Hat for example prides itself on creating GUI configuration tools, which make some things easier.
[04:27] <whatthedeuce> lullabud: I have to unplug the computer
[04:27] <sloucher> yeah, /etc/fstab is 0 size
[04:27] <lullabud> whatthedeuce:  oh.  well that sucks.
[04:27] <segin> whatthedeuce: if you used ^C to halt, just restart make and it'll pick up where it left off.
[04:27] <TGPO> kitche Oracle cant even keep their software patched, and now you want to try their linux?
[04:27] <lullabud> LOL
[04:27] <sproingie> kitche: "support" means downloading updates
[04:27] <LoRD_oF_ThE_WaR> What this menssage means? "Erro 17: Cannon mount selected partition..."
[04:28] <lullabud> TGPO:  that's true... i never thought about how awful an oracle distro of linux could be.
[04:28] <JohnM555> I'm going to reinstall ubuntu and start over. Do I need to uninstall Ubuntu first, or should just doing install from the live cd work?
[04:28] <whatthedeuce> segin: If I halt it, can I turn off the computer and pick up where I left off later?
[04:28] <kitche> TGPO: already tried it it's just RHEL with broken icons and such
[04:28] <slavik> Isn't Oracle the company that tried to push the windowslive type of thing?
[04:28] <sproingie> kitche: not being able to use up2date makes a RH distribution hard to work with
[04:28] <sloucher> by the way df / shows what i originally wanted
[04:28] <lullabud> JohnM555:  it'll ask you if you want to format the filesystems.  do so.
[04:28] <Jimbo> ill check those links later
[04:28] <JohnM555> lullabud: K
[04:28] <caffiend> slavik: I'm working through fedora 4 unleashed, Ubuntu Hacks, and Linux Phrasebook.  They seem to cover the bases.   FC4 was my cherry popper
[04:28] <slavik> JohnM555: what's the problem you are stuck at?
[04:28] <caffiend> :)
[04:28] <sproingie> slavik: i doubt oracle has ever pushed windows-ANYTHING
[04:28] <TGPO> kitche and if RH forks Oracle cant rip off their fixes
[04:28] <LoRD_oF_ThE_WaR> What this menssage means? "Erro 17: Cannon mount selected partition..."
[04:29] <sloucher> where would you guess a sata drive is? /dev/sda? /dev/sda1?
[04:29] <floats> I tried to intall  DISKNAME  Ubuntu 6.10 "Edgy Eft" on my Pentium 2, 128 mb ram, machine but the live
[04:29] <JohnM555> slavik: I can't get wireless working
[04:29] <caffiend> Is FC5 similar at all to RHEL?
[04:29] <TGPO> shoucher yes
[04:29] <sproingie> slavik: larry ellison hates microsoft with a seething passion
[04:29] <slavik> sproingie: I meant a system similar to what WindowsLive is doing ... the internet type of OS lots of people are talking about
[04:29] <lullabud> sloucher:  sata would be /dev/sd[a-z]
[04:29] <kitche> TGPO: does that matter a fork that oracle made broke RH certify
[04:29] <JohnM555> slavik: I can't even see the option to set a wep key, I used to be able to. It gives me an error when I do try to set the key
[04:29] <lestat> what you think about suse and microsoft
[04:29] <slavik> JohnM555: what hardware chipset?
[04:29] <sproingie> slavik: he was one of the original "network computer" guys.  i think he's found sanity now, i haven't heard of him pushing anything like that lately
[04:29] <slavik> JohnM555: go ahead then ...
[04:30] <sproingie> oracle is perfectly free to fork redhat, that's their prerogative
[04:30] <JohnM555> slavik: I thinkg its a P something...Prims64? let me loook it up
[04:30] <sproingie> they just didn't do a very good job
[04:30] <floats> I tried to intall DISKNAME Ubuntu 6.10 "Edgy Eft" on my Pentium 2, 128 mb ram, machine but the live  CD method is too much for my machine, Is there another method or distro that would work bettker
[04:30] <WC`> When I try and bring my computer back from standby, I get a blank screen but ubuntu still running in the background. I can still input keyboard commands but can't see what i'm doing. I see a flicker of an error code before it goes into sleep mode. Any advice?
[04:30] <TGPO> kitche I'm just saying, playing with Oracle anything is a recipe for a head ache
[04:30] <Jimbo> can someone tell me what package to install from synaptic package manager so i can play mp3 files on this thing
[04:30] <JohnM555> slavik: Its a Netgear WG 121 USB Adapter installed via ndiswrapper
[04:30] <Jordan_U> sloucher: It goes /dev/sd[a-z drive letter] [1-whatever partition number]
[04:30] <slavik> JohnM555: that's a nicely supported chipset :)
[04:30] <Jimbo> i got other things to do besides hunt for info
[04:30] <Intelligitimate> Jordan_U, here is what the terminal says when I try to install it.
[04:30] <Xenguy> lestat: I think they should both be boycotted -- now =)
[04:30] <sproingie> TGPO: i hear they make a decent databse
[04:30] <snoops> WC` the alternative cd..it's a text based installer
[04:30] <crimsun> Jimbo: for what player(s)?
[04:30] <Intelligitimate> http://pastebin.com/821624
[04:30] <kitche>  TGPO: so it's just like RH to a point at least FC works good
[04:30] <JohnM555> slavik: I think I'm just cursed :P
[04:30] <slavik> JohnM555: I would suggest trying to get it working in native mode
[04:31] <caffiend> lullabud: u ever frequent forums or help good guys out in email?  I'm a good learner, just get stuck on som undocumented stuff..
[04:31] <Jimbo> whatever came with ubuntu
[04:31] <Acu> I would like to connect to a network trough vpn: I know I have to change a file called vpnc.conf - this is my first problem - the file is not in /etc/vpnc.conf - I found it in /usr/share/doc/vpnc/examples which confuses me
[04:31] <sloucher> ok thanks I still didn't find it but I have to leave
[04:31] <JohnM555> slavik: I don't know if thats the actual chipset, how would I find out?
[04:31] <WC`> snoop: eh?
[04:31] <Jimbo> i just want to get some tunes goin here while i figure this stuff out
[04:31] <thor> Jimbo: xmms will play mp3s
[04:31] <Acu> second: how to start vpn ?
[04:31] <WC`> I've installed ubuntu just fine
[04:31] <fire> can anyone help : where are gnome/gdm startup scripts and how can I debug gnome session errors
[04:31] <TGPO> sproingie, their db is full of bugs that havent been patched in the 2 years since they were reported
[04:31] <snoops> ah sorry WC`.. wrong person
[04:31] <slavik> JohnM555: in terminal 'lspci' and pastebin the result
[04:31] <lullabud> caffiend:  nah, i don't participate much in the ubuntu community other than here in irc.
[04:31] <WC`> No problem
[04:31] <slavik> !pastebin
[04:31] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[04:31] <floats> I tried to intall DISKNAME Ubuntu 6.10 "Edgy Eft" on my Pentium 2, 128 mb ram, machine but the live CD method is too much for my machine, Is there another method or distro that would work better?
[04:31] <snoops> floats try the alternative cd. It's a text based installer..so no live cd
[04:31] <JohnM555> slavik: OK
[04:31] <sproingie> TGPO: all databases are.  you think mysql is the pinnacle of engineering or something?
[04:32] <Jimbo> is that already on ubuntu..cus a minute ago i got a message sayin wrong codec or something to that effect
[04:32] <floats> alternative C
[04:32] <crimsun> Jimbo: enable universe, and install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
[04:32] <LoRD_oF_ThE_WaR> What this menssage means? "Erro 17: Cannon mount selected partition..."
[04:32] <floats> alternative cd is the name?
[04:32] <Jimbo> ok
[04:32] <crimsun> Jimbo: I presume you're using Ubuntu & GNOME?
[04:32] <TGPO> sproingie, nope, just that it gets patches and fixes on a more regular basis
[04:32] <Jordan_U> Intelligitimate: You said you are using 64 bit ubuntu right, did you use the 64 bit RPM ?
[04:32] <snoops> yep, alternative is in the name floating
[04:32] <Jimbo> i think gstreamers are already unstalled but ill double check
[04:32] <snoops> instead of desktop
[04:32] <Jordan_U> Intelligitimate: If there is one that is.
[04:32] <Intelligitimate> No. I don't have a 64 bit processor.
[04:32] <fire> how to debug gnome session errors (or reset to default) ?
[04:32] <Intelligitimate> This is an old Pentium 3.
[04:33] <Jimbo> crimson...where do i enable universe?
[04:33] <Jordan_U> Intelligitimate: Sorry, got you confused with somebody else :)
[04:33] <crimsun> Jimbo: in Synaptic
[04:33] <Jimbo> first day on linux here
[04:33] <Jimbo> brb
[04:33] <floats> snoops: That is the name, alternative cd?
[04:33] <khaije1> oh that reminds me, what does it take to use gstreamer in kubuntu?
[04:33] <tom_> hello i am using dapper. i want to install program called hotplug but synaptic says it will remove gnome-desktop and other gnome stuff. will i lose my gnome desktop?
[04:34] <cge> tom_: Don't install it.
[04:34] <tom_> ok thanks
[04:34] <pontusen> what's the best dc hub software?
[04:34] <Jordan_U> Jimbo: sudo software-properties -e universe , or You can do it with synaptic
[04:34] <snoops> floats, just have a look at the available downloads for edgy.. you'll notice one with alternative in the name
[04:34] <sid> Nov 10 22:25:01 bluebox kernel: [17213193.692000]  usb 4-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2

[04:34] <sid> I plug in my Creative Vision w handheld video/audio player to Ubuntu, and ubuntu doesn't do anything.
[04:35] <sid> Gnomad2 doesn't work, there is no icon on my desktop.
[04:35] <JohnM555> slavik: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/30932/
[04:35] <floats> snoops: thank you for getting back to me.  Do you think that an older version of Ubuntu would work better on my old machine?
[04:35] <Jimbo> crimson: im not sure if im usin gnome or what...universe didntn come up when i searched synaptic
[04:35] <caffiend> lullabud: are you on here much?
[04:35] <JohnM555> I hope slaviks still here :\
[04:35] <crimsun> Jimbo: Settings> Repositories
[04:35] <sid> How can I load a movie from my Ubuntu hdd onto this handheld device?
[04:35] <slavik> JohnM555: your wifi card isn't even listed there
[04:36] <caffiend> lullabud: the copy worked from the iso mount to the USB! except for a symbolic link :( any ideas?
[04:36] <snoops> floating not sure.. I haven't dealt with slow machines much, so I'm not one who can really judge.. don't expect much is on my mind though
[04:36] <JohnM555> slavik: Yay, Maybe its the thing in line 17?
[04:36] <kitche> sid: does Creative use a database for that?
[04:36] <lullabud> caffiend:  i'm in here from day to day.  in here and in #sugarcrm
[04:36] <sproingie> floats: if you have a really old machine, you could try arch linux, it's supposed to be pretty lightweight
[04:36] <slavik> that's a winmodem ... doesn't look like a wifi card to me ...
[04:36] <nessmuk> I have a Microsoft Ballpoint Mouse which is not recognized in 6.06, and I see nothing in the forums. Now trying a fresh install of 6.06 on a spare hd to see if it's recognized on install. Wondering where to ask for help in the forums
[04:36] <JohnM555> slavik: I swear its pluged in, its lit up
[04:36] <lullabud> caffiend:  the guys in #sugarcrm know me, in case you want to get ahold of me.
[04:36] <slavik> JohnM555: do 'lsmod | grep ndiswrapper' and tell me if it gives you anything
[04:36] <lullabud> caffiend:  anyhow, i'm out man.  nice chatting with you.
[04:36] <Jordan_U> JohnM555: Is it USB?
[04:36] <Jimbo> brb
[04:36] <JohnM555> slavik: OK
[04:37] <JohnM555> Jordan: Yes
[04:37] <caffiend> lullabud: thanks alot again!  u been a gr8 help
[04:37] <Jordan_U> JohnM555: Then lsusb
[04:37] <Imme> Is Edgy Eft just as stable as Dapper Drake ?
[04:37] <rickyfingers> nessmuk: probly gotta twek xorg.conf
[04:37] <kitche> Imme: umm there is a few bugs but seems to work fine on a complete reinstall
[04:37] <Jordan_U> JohnM555: Then lsusb , and pastebin the output.
[04:38] <floats> spriongie: thanks What about Ubuntu distro aren't some of the older ones more for pentium 2 128 mb machines?
[04:38] <nessmuk> rickyfinge....thanx
[04:38] <WC`> Interesting: in order to get my display to work again, I have to press ctrl alt f1 => ctrl alt f7
[04:38] <JohnM555> Jordan/Slavik: It shows up as Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0846:4210 NetGear, Inc. WG121 WiFi (v2)
[04:38] <JohnM555> (I didn't pastebin it because I have to copy it to a textfile, transfer it to this comp, open it then copy it)
[04:38] <sproingie> Imme: it seems to have a few problems.  dapper is the LTS version, it's bound to stay more stable
[04:39] <JohnM555> There is one other thing in the list, which is my mouse/keyboard
[04:39] <Jimbo> what does this mean     warnings.warn("apt API not stable yet", FutureWarning)
[04:39] <caffiend> anyone know how to copy a "symbolic link"?  it is on my Iso Mount of a Ubuntu install, all copied perfect except that :(
[04:39] <crimsun> Jimbo: nothing relevant
[04:39] <johnny_> does anyone know if hddtemp ot lm-sensors conflict with Beta Graphics Driver (NVIDIA)?
[04:39] <sproingie> Imme: freetype in edgy was quite screwy for example.  it still isn't perfect
[04:40] <thor> caffiend: you probably won't be able to copy that...you will have to recreate it.
[04:40] <Imme> sproingie, kitche: Thanks for the info... So I need not upgrade to Edgy...
[04:40] <rickyfingers> caffiend: you  need to create the sym link in the files system before you create the image
[04:40] <Jordan_U> slavik: I don't know anything about setting up USB wireless adapters so you are on your own with John
[04:40] <Jimbo> k
[04:40] <JohnM555> Slavik: The lsmod | grep ndiswrapper isn't showing anything, but it did befire, I'll try to do the mod thing to get it to show again
[04:40] <sproingie> caffiend: cp -d
[04:41] <Jimbo> crimson what was that player again...x something or other?
[04:41] <floats> What is the Ubuntu distro designed for the older  pentium 2, 128 mb machines?
[04:41] <JohnM555> Slavik: Doing ndiswrapper shows netwg121 driver installed, hardare present
[04:41] <Jordan_U> floats: Xubuntu
[04:41] <tonyyarusso> xubuntu or fluxbuntu
[04:41] <rickyfingers> John: then just modprobe ndiswrapper
[04:41] <JohnM555> ricky: Just did that
[04:42] <teenprogrammer> how do i set a script to run everytime someone logs in?
[04:42] <rickyfingers> and lsmod doesn't show ndiswrapper?
[04:42] <JohnM555> ricky: Oh, it does now
[04:42] <rickyfingers> then iwconfig
[04:42] <rickyfingers> to put in ssid wep key , etc.
[04:42] <Jordan_U> teenprogrammer: System, preferences, sessions
[04:42] <teenprogrammer> um
[04:43] <teenprogrammer> in console
[04:43] <JohnM555> ricky: However I don't think it fixed my problem, doing iwconfig I can see the eth2 interface as being the wireless one(Its the only thing without the no wireless extensions) but it doesnt even say that no key exists
[04:43] <Imme> !usplash
[04:43] <ubotu> usplash is the start-up splash (before the login screen appears) in Ubuntu. To customize it, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto
[04:43] <rickyfingers> teen: you need to modify .profile for user
[04:43] <JohnM555> ricky: Thats my problem, I used to get Encryption key: off, or some variation of that, but now it doesn't even list that
[04:43] <floats> jordan and tonyyarrusso:  thank you
[04:43] <rickyfingers> John try iwconfig ethwhatever key<PHONE_NUMBER>907t89re
[04:44] <teenprogrammer> #freebsd
[04:44] <teenprogrammer> oops
[04:44] <teenprogrammer> lol
[04:44] <rickyfingers> know what I'm saying, ethwhatever should be what interface your wnic is
[04:44] <caffiend> thor: rickyfingers: sproingie: muchas gracias!!
[04:44] <rickyfingers> caffiend: denada
[04:44] <teenprogrammer> ok, thanks! adios
[04:44] <Tokenbad> is there a way to monitor a video cards gpu core temp in ubuntu?
[04:44] <scubes13> looking for some guidance on getting an atheros wlan nic working under fresh install of edgy (currently displays as "ath0" under ifconfig, but cant scan for a network nor get any connection)
[04:44] <scubes13> anyone available that can assist?
[04:45] <JohnM555> Ricky: I get an error doing that with my key
[04:45] <rickyfingers> what's the error?
[04:45] <Jordan_U> !sensors | Tokenbad
[04:45] <ubotu> Tokenbad: You might find something useful at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
[04:45] <JohnM555> Ricky: It says 'Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : SET failed on device eth2 ; Unknown error 524.'
[04:46] <khaije1> scubes13: i'm using one at home (at work now) what problem are you having?
[04:46] <WC`> Is there a way to make it so that you have to enter your password after coming out of standby or hibernate mode?
[04:46] <rickyfingers> oh, try putting sudo in front
[04:46] <JohnM555> ricky: I did :\
[04:46] <caffiend> rickyfingers: the image was downloaded, mounted on the drive and then copied to a USB drive.  I used cp -Rav and it did everything except the symbolic link.  Since the files are there, can it still be copied over to it with cp -d?
[04:46] <caffiend> thor: how would one re-create it?
[04:46] <roler> what program can I use to view video from my camcorder / firewire using /dev/raw1394
[04:47] <rickyfingers> cripes! r u  putting in the key with 16/26 hex digits?
[04:47] <khaije1> scubes13: also what is the output when you type 'route' into terminal
[04:47] <JohnM555> ricky: 10
[04:47] <rickyfingers> caffiend, don't know for sure but, try cp -rRp
[04:47] <noxxle> how can i make qsynaptics startup with my desktop?
[04:47] <noxxle> right now i have to type qsynaptics in the terminal every session
[04:48] <JohnM555> ricky: I think 10 is normal though
[04:48] <snoops> how can I see how hard a hard drive is working - transfering/copying at etc?
[04:48] <rickyfingers> John, not sure but I think it's got to be 16 or 26 hex digits
[04:48] <caffiend> off topic.. anyonw know of a good computer building channel, for tech support or just getting opinions?
[04:48] <JohnM555> ricky: Making it 16 still gives me the error, I don't think thats the problem
[04:48] <rickyfingers> try padding zeros on beginning or end of key
[04:48] <khaije1> noxxle: ln -s /path/to/app ~/.kde/Autostart (create symbolic link in autostart dir, please verfiy the paths first)
[04:48] <JohnM555> ricky: I wish there was a way to just reset all wireless interfaces and settings
[04:49] <madman91> caffiend: im no expert// but i had a few good answers in #hardware
[04:49] <noxxle> im not using kde
[04:49] <caffiend> madman91: thanks!
[04:49] <madman91> caffiend, good luck with that :)
[04:49] <rickyfingers> John - I think you could just rmmod ndiswrapper, then modprobe again
[04:49] <khaije1> noxxle: why use qsynaptics then?
[04:49] <WC`> Is there a way to make it so that you have to enter your password after coming out of standby or hibernate mode?
[04:50] <rickyfingers> but that's disturbing that it won't let you set a key
[04:50] <noxxle> its for gnome
[04:50] <noxxle> ksynaptics is kde
[04:50] <JohnM555> ricky: It really is!
[04:50] <slavik> When I boot, I have GDM set to autolog me in ... when Gnome loads, X dies, after X restarts, I am presented with GDM screen, after logging in, everything works fine (X doesn't die). even if I set GDM to not auto log me in, X still dies the first time it is started ...
[04:50] <scubes13> khaije1: sent inf to you via IM/PM
[04:51] <rickyfingers> sure you're typing in sudo iwconfig eth2 key<PHONE_NUMBER>123456
[04:51] <Poromenos> what's a good bittorrent client?
[04:51] <caffiend> last Q 4 the night, to run a Virtual server/virt host what release of ubuntu is best suited for the "base" install?
[04:51] <rickyfingers> substituting that for your real key
[04:51] <Daro> !hcf
[04:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hcf - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:51] <Daro> !conexant
[04:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about conexant - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:51] <JohnM555> ricky: Yes, I'm sure
[04:52] <khaije1> noxxle: oic, i just use synaptic, there should be an option under the admin menu - i'm not sure off the top of my head
[04:52] <sizzam> is there a command to see what my peak memory usage was for the day?
[04:52] <rickyfingers> Then I'm out of ideas, unless ndiswrapper isn't really wrapping the windows drivers correctly.
[04:52] <slavik> time to go, have fun everyone
[04:52] <Poromenos> what's a good linux bittorrent client?
[04:52] <rickyfingers> You can try different versions out of sourceforge
[04:52] <JohnM555> ricky: Well thanks, I think I'm just going to reinstall ubuntu
[04:52] <caffiend> anyone use #phpbb?  that channel sucks.  can't even get an answer about how to add users
[04:53] <JohnM555> Ricky: Because I used to have the option to set the key
[04:53] <JohnM555> It jus disapeared
[04:53] <sid> Nov 10 22:50:28 bluebox kernel: [17214720.860000]  usb 4-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3
[04:53] <sid> Which /dev/??? is that?
[04:53] <rickyfingers> caffiend: useradd
[04:53] <Jordan_U> Poromenos: If you don't mind the bloat, Azureus
[04:53] <JohnM555> poromenos, I used to use utorrent, I don't know if it works with ubuntu
[04:53] <Poromenos> Jordan_U: gah :(
[04:53] <Poromenos> JohnM555: it doesn't :(
[04:53] <JohnM555> (or linux)
[04:53] <JohnM555> Poro: Then I'm gonna need a new one when I get my internet working :P
[04:53] <Jordan_U> Poromenos: I have heard that utorrent can be run in wine
[04:53] <Poromenos> JohnM555: indeed :)
[04:54] <Poromenos> Jordan_U: a friend has tried and i don't think it runs very well
[04:54] <Jordan_U> Poromenos: Ubuntu comes with a lightweight one, I believe it is the official bittorrent
[04:55] <JohnM555> Poro: Isn't there one that comes with ubuntu?
[04:55] <JohnM555> What he said
[04:55] <Poromenos> let me check
[04:55] <tuko> anyone here uses slmodemd, with alsa ?
[04:55] <WC`> Can someone tell me the opposite of the killall command?
[04:55] <Poromenos> no, not that i can find
[04:55] <Poromenos> WC`: startall? :P
[04:55] <jrib> WC`: what do you want that command to do?
[04:55] <Jordan_U> WC`: What do you mean by that? Can you refrase the question.
[04:56] <WC`> Well
[04:56] <WC`> I was doing some troubleshooting and used the command "sudo killall gnome-screensaver"
[04:56] <WC`> I want to reverse the effect of that command
[04:56] <caffiend> rickyfingers: thanks, but in my admin panel there is no useradd there. I've gone through the whole admin menus and ther eis nothing about adding.  do I have to install a module?  It isn't in the "User Admin" section
[04:56] <Jordan_U> WC`: gnome-screensaver
[04:57] <jrib> heh there should be a 'resurrect' command
[04:57] <Jordan_U> WC`: killall quits an application, so the opposite of: killall application , it simply to start that application again.
[04:57] <Tokenbad> Jordan_U, thanks but still not see my video card temp
[04:58] <rickyfingers> jordan killall -HUP
[04:58] <WC`> Thanks very much for that, I now have a workaround for my standby problem :D
[04:58] <rickyfingers> restarts in stead of just killing
[04:58] <fatlip> where's PKG_CONFIG_PATH located?
[04:58] <jrib> fatlip: what are you trying to compile?
[04:58] <rickyfingers> fatlip sounds like an environment variable
[04:58] <rickyfingers> do env | grep PKG
[04:58] <fatlip> if i answer that quesiton i'm going to be redirected to another channel ;)
[04:58] <rickyfingers> do see if it's set if not
[04:59] <fatlip> nothing returns
[04:59] <rickyfingers> then you need to set it
[04:59] <neonak> I just installed Edgy, but now my Ethernet card doesn't seem to get an IP adres from the router (DHCP). I tried resetting the router, and tried dhclient. But still can't get it to work. Does anyone have a clue?
[04:59] <fatlip> how do i go about that
[04:59] <rickyfingers> PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/some/directory/on/your/system
[04:59] <fatlip> =]  thanks
[04:59] <rickyfingers> export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
[04:59] <rickyfingers> don't forget about the export
[04:59] <cwill1> I'm trying to install dapper/edgy from the livecd or the alternative cd, but it won't resize the ntfs partition.  It doesn't give a visible error, it just doesn't do it. Help!
[05:00] <neonak> Maybe it can't resize NTFS partitions?
[05:00] <jimb1> i loaded all the gstreamer stuff from synaptic and i still cant play a freakin mp3
[05:00] <jimb1> what do i need?
[05:00] <Jordan_U> neonak: It can
[05:01] <rickyfingers> jimbl xmms?
[05:01] <cwill1> Jordan_U: do I need to defrag under windows first or something?
[05:01] <jimb1> ricky: xmms...would that be in synaptic also?
[05:01] <Jordan_U> cwill1: I don't think so, but I don't use windows so I don't know for sure.
[05:01] <rickyfingers> jimbl si si
[05:02] <jimb1> do i need xmms-dev also?
[05:02] <jimb1> i found them in synaptic
[05:02] <cwill1> !install
[05:02] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[05:02] <rickyfingers> jimlb, just started installing it myself. depends, r u  planning on doing some programming using xmms source code?
[05:03] <caffiend> rickyfingers: can you take a look an see if I'm overlooking the addusers?  I'll let you login as admin
[05:03] <jimb1> no for now just want to be able to play mp3 files
[05:03] <rickyfingers> I'd rather not log in to your system caff
[05:03] <Jordan_U> cwill1: It is kind of strage to say that the installer doesn't resize it but doesn't give any errors, can you give some screenshots from the liveCD or a more detailed account?
[05:04] <rickyfingers> caff I'm finding a web page for you now...
[05:05] <snoops> how can I see the permissions of a file in terminal?
[05:05] <snoops> as well as user and owner
[05:05] <snoops> and group*
[05:05] <rickyfingers> snoops too easy, use chmod
[05:05] <cwill1> Jordan_U: after the automated partitioning or a manual partition, it grinds for a couple seconds, and then says it couldn't find enough free space (there's 120 gigs free on the 160 gig drive);  the alternate cd just grinds for a second or two and then returns to the partitioning menu, without changing the partition's size.  There's a fat32 partition before it that I can resize (it's only a couple gigs) fine though
[05:05] <jimb1> got it working....thanx
[05:06] <rickyfingers> caff, just do useradd <username>
[05:06] <rickyfingers> then passwd <username>
[05:06] <rickyfingers> oh and put sudo in front
[05:06] <madman91> i cant mount my /dev/hda2 ... my mount statement looks like this ...   (( mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/oldroot -t ext3   ))
[05:06] <snoops> rickyfingers, yes..for changing the permissions, but what about listing the current permissions
[05:06] <madman91> it says its busy or already mounted
[05:07] <rickyfingers> ls -la
[05:07] <rickyfingers> snoops
[05:07] <neonak> snoops: try ls -al
[05:07] <snoops> great, that's what I needed, thanks
[05:07] <caffiend> rickyfingers: understood.  does addusers come default?  what is it in under the admin menu?  The users only has banning, management, dissallow, etc.  Could it be a script I need?
[05:08] <rickyfingers> caff, yes, adduser does a little more for setting up account
[05:13] <Davo_Dinkum2> Hello.
[05:13] <rickyfingers> useradd puts line in /etc/passwd
[05:13] <rickyfingers> but then you have to create home dir &c by hand
[05:13] <Toma-> is there a gui editor for fstab? plz, i know gedit is a laugh, but i need something a bit more automated
[05:13] <Jordan_U> cwill1: Try using the gparted liveCD perhaps ( it uses the same application as Ubuntu but is more up to date / focused entirely on gparted so likely more reliable )
[05:13] <rickyfingers> toma, ever try x-emacs?
[05:13] <rickyfingers> you can automate anything you want
[05:13] <rickyfingers> with that program
[05:13] <rickyfingers> but it's kind of like a swiss army knife with all the blades sticking out
[05:13] <mistform> anyone here use initNG????
[05:13] <mistform> I tried setting it up but it failed to boot the GUI
[05:13] <jimb1> will linux recognise m3u files?
[05:13] <Toma-> yeh... i re-ordered and resized and deleted a bunch of partition, now ive lost all my drives
[05:13] <mistform> jimb1, I had an m3u file, but I never tried to play it or anything
[05:13] <rapt501> hi
[05:13] <Samin> jimb1, isn't those just text files with song names in it?
[05:13] <Toma-> jimb1: gstreamer will and xmms will
[05:13] <rapt501> question
[05:13] <sproingie> rickyfingers: xemacs is kind of dead-ended development-wise.  fsf emacs is really what you want these days
[05:13] <jimb1> mist...m3u is a playlist
[05:13] <rapt501> does everybody's google video work
[05:13] <rapt501> on their ubuntu
[05:13] <jimb1> k
[05:13] <mistform> I just use .p.s
[05:13] <jimb1> i got xmms workin
[05:13] <mistform> .pls***
[05:13] <cwill1> Jordan_U: read my mind :);  oh well, here's hoping
[05:13] <Samin> jimb1, rename it to .pls and load it in xmms beep-media-player,  heck even "mplayer -pls foo.m3u" should do it
[05:13] <yertman_usa> Anyone running ubuntu on older (400Mhz) iMac? Is performance okay with wmaker. Does modem work?
[05:13] <mistform> nope
[05:13] <mistform> not me
[05:13] <yertman_usa> Thanks.
[05:13] <jimb1> Samin:i havent transfered any to this box yet
[05:13] <jimb1> first day on linux
[05:13] <rickyfingers> last linux i used w/ imac was yellow dog
[05:13] <jimb1> all stuff is still on the windows boxes
[05:13] <Toma-> yertman_usa: no, but id say it should all work.
[05:13] <Samin> jimb1, oh I see
[05:13] <fowlduck> On the ubuntu guide here: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/ch04s10.html
[05:13] <fowlduck> it mentions the 'commercial' repository
[05:13] <fowlduck> what's this?
[05:13] <jimb1> kinda confused yet
[05:13] <Jordan_U> rickyfingers: I have experience with Ubuntu on PPC, who is asking about it?
[05:13] <yertman_usa> Me
[05:13] <rapt501> can anyone explain why the sound doesn't work with google video?
[05:13] <rickyfingers> yertman_usa
[05:13] <fowlduck> !commercial
[05:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about commercial - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:13] <Samin> rapt501, you have the right flash plugin installed?
[05:14] <yertman_usa> I have an older iMac I want to setup for web browsing and email for grandma.
[05:14] <rapt501> yeah
[05:14] <yertman_usa> seriously
[05:14] <rapt501> it will show the video but not play the sound
[05:14] <rapt501> sometimes
[05:14] <jimb1> how do you make playlists for a group of mp3 files in linux?
[05:14] <rapt501> sometimes the sound works
[05:14] <jimb1> dont spose its easy
[05:14] <rapt501> but its like flipping a coin
[05:15] <Jordan_U> yertman_usa: I have a clamshell iMac running XFCE, wmaker should be fine, I couldn't get the modem to work though, all though I didn't try very hard.
[05:15] <rapt501> you find out if the sound works on google video when you turn on the computer
[05:15] <yertman_usa> thanks. I will try it tonight. I will have to get the modem to work thou as she has dial up.
[05:15] <Toma-> jimb1: make a playlist with xmms and save the playlist...?
[05:16] <yertman_usa> Jordan_u How much RAM does your clamshell have?
[05:16] <jimb1> it appears you can only load one file at a time in xmms
[05:16] <Jordan_U> yertman_usa: 128 I think.
[05:16] <rickyfingers> u can add a whole dir
[05:17] <yertman_usa> Sweet. I think that is what this one has.
[05:17] <jimb1> you can?
[05:17] <rapt501> so can anyone help with the sound problem
[05:17] <Toma-> jimb1: hold the button down on the + sign
[05:17] <Jordan_U> yertman_usa: There is a mac specific forum on ubuntuforums FYI, might search there about the modem.
[05:17] <jrib> ubotu: tell rapt501 about flash
[05:18] <jrib> rapt501: either follow the instructions on the wiki for using aoss with flash or try flash beta9
[05:18] <Toma-> time to install nvidia-9629 :>
[05:18] <rickyfingers> jimbl, right click on top of xmms window
[05:18] <rickyfingers> select playlist editor
[05:18] <jimb1> hold down + on the key pad while adding files to xmms..?
[05:19] <yertman_usa> Jordan_U Thanks for the tip. :)
[05:19] <Toma-> jimb1: no, the + sign on the playlist editor
[05:19] <jimb1> ricky: i see it now
[05:19] <jimb1> thanx
[05:19] <rapt501> ok so switch the flash
[05:19] <rapt501> thank you
[05:19] <jrib> ubotu: tell rapt501 about flash9
[05:20] <Jordan_U> yertman_usa: np, it has been really hard for me to find help with PPC specific stuff anywhere but on ubuntuforums
[05:24] <roler> how can I view/save firewire 1394 video ?
[05:25] <Jordan_U> roler: Like from a dv camera or a webcam?
[05:25] <roler> Jordan_U, ; dv camera
[05:25] <Jordan_U> roler: kino
[05:26] <jperez> neither dv camera neither webcam
[05:27] <jperez> hello, somebody who talk
[05:27] <wweasel> hello jperez
[05:27] <wweasel> I'm reading about grep and it's blowing my mind :)
[05:28] <jperez> where you come from wweasel?
[05:28] <wweasel> Canada
[05:28] <Jordan_U> !offtopic
[05:28] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[05:28] <wweasel> Yeah, yeah. We know. But it's quiet!!!! :P
[05:28] <Jordan_U> :)
[05:29] <jperez> and, so wweasel what you nned about grep?
[05:29] <Jordan_U> Come to think of it I have never seen it this quiet in here before
[05:29] <Jordan_U> The gnome power applet thinks I am still connected to my power supply when my laptop is on battery power so when it runsout of battery my computer shuts down from loss of power instead of shutting down correctly.
[05:29] <wweasel> Jordan_U: I know, it's odd.
[05:29] <neonak> Jordan_U maybe you can help me.. I sort of have this problem: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=287026&highlight=via+ethernet

[05:29] <mluser-home> How does one go about booting into runstate 3 on ubuntu?
[05:30] <neonak> But even setting a static address won't help
[05:30] <AsheD> anybody know the link to that time-lapse video of a model getting her picture made up for a billboard?
[05:30] <tonyyarusso> mluser-home: 'sudo init 3' should do it
[05:30] <mluser-home> tonyyarusso: thanks.. will it come up that way after every boot though?
[05:30] <wweasel> jperez: Well, I've been using ubuntu for a while, and I knew that I absolutely should know about cat and grep, but didn't.  Cat is simple. Grep is mindblowing, what with escaped parentheses and periods and question marks...wow.
[05:30] <tonyyarusso> mluser-home: no
[05:31] <equilibrium> mluser-home: you need to set the default run level in /etc/inittab for that
[05:31] <mluser-home> equilibrium: thanks :)

[05:36] <Jordan_U> dks_matt: Lots of people
[05:36] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)

[05:41] <NineTeen67Comet> Hi all .. looking for a little advice .. Got my this old 450mhz PIIi/128MB ram/Nvidia NV4 AGP machine, It runs "okay" but not well. Would tossing in 256MB more ram help it enough to be worth it? My mom uses this for paperwork, printing, e-mail and the internet.
[05:41] <aeread> anyone here runnin exaile? im gettin some libatk dependency failure, even tho libatk is installed >.<
[05:41] <dks_matt> hang on, I just typed alsa mixed and got this: "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[05:41] <dks_matt> "
[05:41] <Ubootno> NineTeen67Comet, not if you have to buy the ram
[05:41] <Ubootno> NineTeen67Comet, if you have to buy anything for it, forget it
[05:41] <Jordan_U> NineTeen67Comet: What WM are you using?
[05:41] <Ubootno> its too old to be worth spending money on
[05:42] <Ubootno> NineTeen67Comet, if you already HAVE the ram for it, itll help but you'd still be better off using xubuntu on that thing
[05:42] <ex_> How do I make my mouse hardware acclerated?.. I have an s3 unichrome via card, and when I follow this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome it "works" but the mouse pointer disapears in apps in firefox and Wine.
[05:42] <bsnider> having trouble getting a hauppauge remote control to be recognized as an input device
[05:42] <NineTeen67Comet> Jordan_U: I'm in Gnome currently (she's VERY NOT into switching from MS's stuff) .. I thought about KDE but I've always had more resources spend on that WM (desktop manager) than Gnome (I tossed xubuntu on here too, but she hated it)...
[05:43] <bsnider> has anybody got a hauppauge remote control working right now?
[05:43] <wweasel> NineTeen67Comet: That's a fairly old computer, and that will choke on most things. Adding some RAM will help.
[05:43] <wweasel> bsnider: Not me, but I know for sure that people use them,
[05:44] <Ubootno> NineTeen67Comet, seriously man - you want to be looking at xubuntu
[05:44] <c0re^> hey, anyone have a link to ubuntu with the new kernel that supports asus p5b?
[05:44] <NineTeen67Comet> wweasel: I tossed ram in my father in laws box (a 1ghz PIII) and it woke it right up .. I just wasn't sure about a 450 seeing results .. it dips into swap pretty heavy as it is ..
[05:44] <c0re^> i desperately want to run it.
[05:44] <wweasel> NineTeen67Comet: Well, if it is dipping into swap, RAM will help. Nothing will make that dying bird fly like an eagle though.
[05:44] <NineTeen67Comet> Ubootno: Got it installed .. lol .. I use and can handle it, but she get's a little freeked ..
[05:44] <jperez> Some body here study quantum mechanics?
[05:45] <Ubootno> NineTeen67Comet, yeah the Gui is too intense for it - you'd be better off on Xubuntu, with a much "lighter weight" gui in place
[05:45] <NineTeen67Comet> wweasel: yeah figured that much .. Just needs to run well enough for her to use it for simple stuff ..
[05:45] <Jordan_U> NineTeen67Comet: You could try enlightemnent gnome, it will look a little different but it will function like gnome ( because it is )
[05:45] <wweasel> NineTeen67Comet: Well, it's a trade off. Gnome will look better, run slower. XFCE would def. run faster. Looks uglier though
[05:46] <c0re^> Is there a ubuntu with the 2.6.18 kernel precompiled and ready to install?
[05:46] <Ubootno> not too much uglier
[05:46] <dks_matt> is there a config file that determines which sound card things like alsa and gstreamer use?
[05:46] <Ubootno> c0re^, fedora is
[05:46] <c0re^> i know
[05:46] <c0re^> i dont want fedora :(
[05:46] <c0re^> i want UBUNTU
[05:46] <NineTeen67Comet> I'll work on getting Xubuntu "looking" a little better for her .. toss common stuff places she "knows" to look and such ..
[05:46] <Ubootno> so bust yourself out a custom kernel
[05:46] <jperez> what about SuSE?
[05:46] <c0re^> plus fedora wouldnt install, and it wouldnt let me partition
[05:47] <c0re^> suse? ill look into it
[05:47] <Ubootno> c0re^, thats not good
[05:47] <c0re^> it didnt let me resize my ntfs
[05:47] <c0re^> so i couldnt make a new one
[05:47] <Ubootno> ahh well ubuntu'll definitely do that
[05:47] <c0re^> yeah i know..
[05:47] <rjgonza> sup guys
[05:47] <Ubootno> but if you want a bleeding edge kernel you're SOL
[05:48] <NineTeen67Comet> thanks all . off to clean up and sleep up ..
[05:48] <Ubootno> the kernel is solid and relatively recent though
[05:48] <Ubootno> hell centos is using 2.6.9 still
[05:48] <c0re^> awesome
[05:49] <c0re^> suse 10.2 uses <IP_ADDRESS>.2
[05:49] <c0re^> which is newer than what i wanted
[05:49] <Paladine> I hate kernel upgrades
[05:49] <c0re^> yeah well i cant boot linux without it
[05:49] <Paladine> I have to recompile so much stuff everytime I upgrade my kernel
[05:49] <Paladine> itis annoying
[05:49] <c0re^> jmicron sata controller
[05:50] <tonyyarusso> I have instructions saying to edit /etc/modprobe.conf, which doesn't exist.  Should I create it or is there another name for it on Ubuntu?
[05:50] <aeread> anyone here runnin exaile? im gettin some libatk dependency failure, even tho libatk is installed >.<
[05:51] <Paladine> you sure it doesn't say edit /etc/modules
[05:51] <dks_matt> is there a way to find out if the drivers for my sound card are installed?
[05:51] <tonyyarusso> Paladine: Yep.
[05:51] <tonyyarusso> Paladine: for adding aliases
[05:52] <bsnider> what's the command to continuously watch dmesg output?
[05:52] <Paladine> aliases are in modules.d I think
[05:52] <Paladine> let me check
[05:52] <Paladine> modprobe.d even
[05:52] <c0re^> anyone know where i can find suse mirrors?
[05:52] <Paladine> yeah they are in /etc/modprobe.d
[05:52] <humblerodent> okay so
[05:52] <humblerodent> I'm trying to get MythTV working properly on Ubuntu
[05:53] <tonyyarusso> Paladine: Ah, great
[05:53] <Paladine> whatcha installing?
[05:53] <humblerodent> but the audio mixer seems really weird having just upgraded to Edgy....when I turn on what /seems/ to be the line-in capture, it doesn't seem to work
[05:53] <humblerodent> can anyone help me?
[05:53] <c0re^> is the intel core2duo em64t x86-64 bit capable?
[05:53] <jperez> does anyone how to install correctly kaffeine or totem on ubuntu?
[05:53] <Ubootno> c0re^, yes it is
[05:54] <feryana> hi! What "server type" has yahoo.com e-mail for using it with Evolution??
[05:54] <Paladine> probably pop3
[05:54] <c0re^> pop3 more than likeley
[05:54] <feryana> doesn't work
[05:54] <tonyyarusso> Paladine: Going to try IrDA
[05:54] <c0re^> mail.yahoo.com?
[05:54] <Ubootno> feryana, I dont think you can do yahoo email with pop3, not unless you're paying for it
[05:54] <Phlosten> is there a way to quickly disable the flash plugin in firefox?
[05:54] <Paladine> tonyyarusso, lirc?
[05:54] <tonyyarusso> feryana: None
[05:54] <c0re^> or pop3.yahoo.com
[05:55] <tonyyarusso> Paladine: Some variation of that sort of thing
[05:55] <Ubootno> yahoo pop3 mail is a pay service
[05:55] <tonyyarusso> c0re^, feryana: Yahoo only offers pop access to paying customers
[05:55] <Ubootno> didnt use to be :(
[05:55] <jperez> does anyone how to install correctly kaffeine or totem on ubuntu?
[05:55] <Paladine> I need to plug in my home made IR Blaster now I have finally fitted my serial port :)
[05:55] <feryana> they can go to hell then
[05:55] <feryana> lol
[05:56] <feryana> I just wanted to open an e-mail out from my domain
[05:56] <fiveiron> ok, i type "sudo iwconfig eth1 esside BSD_AP", and nothing happens
[05:56] <feryana> coz I need ot be in a group lol
[05:56] <fiveiron> how do i bring a wireless interface up?
[05:56] <Konnektion> ifup wlan1
[05:56] <Konnektion> i belive
[05:56] <tonyyarusso> fiveiron: 'sudo ifup interface#'
[05:56] <fiveiron> ah
[05:56] <sky123> or if you're really lazy install network-manager
[05:57] <Paladine> network-manager sucks
[05:57] <Paladine> it doesn't allow you to do ip aliasing :)
[05:57] <sky123> but im kinda against all this "so-called" useful tools...
[05:57] <sky123> lemme finish...
[05:58] <sky123> because they dont teach you how to use linux
[05:58] <Paladine> I would much rather edit interfaces than use network manager
[05:58] <sky123> let alone do something like ethernet bonding or setting mtu's or whatever..
[05:58] <Paladine> at least it affords you full control
[05:58] <sky123> agreed
[05:59] <Paladine> and there is no lack of documentation out there about how to do it as well
[05:59] <sky123> but I have yet to meet someone on here that has knowledge abouthow to bond an interface in ubuntu...
[05:59] <sky123> too many gui gods
[05:59] <fiveiron> ok, the interface was already up apparently, but the light on my laptop isn't on, and I'm not connected to my access point.... shoudn't it connect when i give it an essid?
[05:59] <ex_> guys, if I change my repos for feisty, will I have to download many updates?
[06:00] <Paladine> sky123, I have never had to bond interfaces, but I bet I could figure it outin less than 5 minutes if I needed to :)
[06:00] <sky123> fiveiron: the light is a good indicator that the driver is working properly...who makes the interface?
[06:00] <sky123> good 4 u
[06:00] <sky123> ;?
[06:00] <fiveiron> sky123, Broadcom... and the light is not on
[06:00] <jperez> sky123: how to install totem correctly for ubuntu?
[06:01] <sky123> jperez: though its not official on here there is automatix....chek it out on google...some people dont like it here...it should do the job for you.
[06:01] <jperez> does anyone what video player is able to ubuntu?
[06:01] <sky123> fiveiron: bcm43xx? or ?
[06:01] <anthonykid> hello
[06:02] <Paladine> sky123, its like when people rant about how linux is carp because you have to use the cli blah blah blah
[06:02] <sky123> jperez: i personally use mplayer...with the mozilla plugin...works awesome.
[06:02] <Paladine> using the cli gives you the experience and confidence to actually control your system insteadof it controlling you (aka windows)
[06:02] <fiveiron> sky123, yeah, bcm43xx
[06:02] <sky123> fiveiron: what kind of laptop??
[06:02] <aeread> anyone here runnin exaile? im gettin some libatk dependency failure, even tho libatk is installed >.<
[06:02] <anthonykid> Dear all (or anyone who's willing to help...), as far as drivers go, and im going to have to install them from my original discs?
[06:02] <fiveiron> sky123, compaq presario v5000
[06:02] <Madpilot> sky123, if by "do the job", you mean "quite possibly break your Ubuntu system", then yes, automatix will 'do the job'...
[06:03] <jperez> sky123: thank you
[06:03] <Madpilot> anthonykid, drivers for what?
[06:03] <snook353> anyone direct me to info on "Trusted Computing"?
[06:03] <Ubootno> anthonykid, drivers for what?
[06:03] <anthonykid> my PC
[06:03] <anthonykid> im installing
[06:03] <anthonykid> ubuntu
[06:03] <anthonykid> obviously it doesn't come with any graphics or audio drivers
[06:03] <anthonykid> yes..no?
[06:03] <Ubootno> anthonykid, you're going to have to be a little less vague
[06:03] <Ubootno> anthonykid, depends on the hardware
[06:03] <sky123> Like i said there are people who will always be against a certain,...going on 4 solid months of use on my ubuntu box with automatix...each to his/her own
[06:03] <Madpilot> anthonykid, you need to be specific. Drivers for what hardware? Audio & basic graphics don't usually need setting up or extra drivers, they should just work
[06:03] <sky123> anyhow...
[06:03] <Paladine> anthonykid, unless you have some really funky hardware sound and graphics willprobably work out of the box
[06:04] <anthonykid> hmm
[06:04] <anthonykid> well
[06:04] <anthonykid> this was originally a Windows machine (obviously)
[06:04] <Madpilot> !enter
[06:04] <anthonykid> i clean installed a few times
[06:04] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[06:04] <anthonykid> and every time, i had to reinstall audio and graphics drivers
[06:04] <sky123> fiveiron: can you find out for certain if it is bcm4318?
[06:04] <Paladine> heya MadPilot
[06:04] <fiveiron> it is...
[06:04] <sky123> fiveiron: or bcm4311 or 4314?
[06:04] <Ubootno> anthonykid, but what does that have to do with linux?
[06:04] <Madpilot> anthonykid, most of that irritation is missing from Ubuntu & Linux, happily.
[06:04] <anthonykid> nothing
[06:05] <Paladine> anthonykid, this isn't windows :)
[06:05] <anthonykid> yeah..
[06:05] <anthonykid> well, actually
[06:05] <anthonykid> got an iMac in March
[06:05] <anthonykid> haven't used windows since
[06:05] <anthonykid> but i wanted to give ubuntu a try with my old pc
[06:05] <humblerodent> hey my mobo's clock is running a bit too fast
[06:05] <sky123> fiveiron: with a couple of days of fighting it ....i ended up using ndiswrapper
[06:05] <humblerodent> brb
[06:05] <fiveiron> sky123, wait a minute... i found a forum post that might work
[06:05] <Ubootno> anthonykid, how old?
[06:05] <Madpilot> anthonykid, please use one line per sentence - you're hitting Enter way too often
[06:05] <sky123> k
[06:05] <anthonykid> sorry
[06:05] <anthonykid> i'm 16
[06:05] <amdgamer> hello?
[06:05] <Ubootno> hi there!
[06:05] <anthonykid> yes?
[06:06] <caffiend> Problems with Ubuntu server (no GUI) 6.10, it won't let me log in. during install it asked for full name (tom jones) then it said username (tom), I said ok.  I entered the PW 2x, finished install
[06:06] <amdgamer> i have a problem
[06:06] <Madpilot> anthonykid, no, how old is the PC?
[06:06] <anthonykid> lmao, sorry --> bout 4 years
[06:06] <sky123> anthonykid: at age 16 the first strep to step out of the "point and click" generation...youll actually learn how to fix things...nice work! :)
[06:06] <sky123> !ask
[06:06] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:07] <b33r-> Hello will ubuntu run smoothly on a p2 400MHz, 256 SD-RAM and HD 4 GB?
[06:07] <anthonykid> lol, 4GB?
[06:07] <sky123> b33r: probably without X
[06:07] <Ubootno> b33r-, itll run slow and smooth
[06:07] <Ubootno> like Karo Syrup
[06:07] <b33r-> :o
[06:07] <Madpilot> anthonykid, Ubuntu should install just fine on a PC that's only 4 years old - what's the system specs? CPU/RAM/etc?
[06:07] <humblerodent> back
[06:07] <amdgamer> windows install cannot boot, i need to recover files, running live 5.10, can i share the whole computer and access it from my other windows machine, to recover files?
[06:07] <humblerodent> so
[06:07] <humblerodent> my mobo's clock is running a little bit too fast
[06:08] <Ubootno> amdgamer, yes
[06:08] <anthonykid> ok... intel pentium 4 2.8ghz, 512 megs of ram, pretty sure 128 vRAM not sure tho
[06:08] <humblerodent> I know there's a way of setting it to periodically sync with NTP servers
[06:08] <amdgamer> okay... ive been trying samba
[06:08] <humblerodent> like every 10 minutes or so; I'm not sure exactly of the interval
[06:08] <sky123> amdgamer: the use of damnsmall linux or knoppix might serve your needs as well
[06:08] <Paladine> you shouldn't have any problems with that machine anthonykid
[06:08] <amdgamer> hmm...
[06:08] <anthonykid> ok, thanks
[06:08] <cablesm102> !ubuntu-desktop
[06:08] <ubotu> k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[06:08] <Ubootno> amd get yourself an ssh/scp program
[06:08] <humblerodent> but how do I do this?  I thought it was just the thing in the "adjust time/date" deal but I did that and it is still running fast.
[06:08] <anthonykid> im going to start installing now... i have an iMac sitting right next to the PC
[06:09] <amdgamer> easier with damnsmall linux?
[06:09] <sky123> Ubootno: that is good advice :)
[06:09] <anthonykid> me
[06:09] <anthonykid> my messages weren't going thru
[06:09] <Ubootno> thx
[06:09] <anthonykid> *kisses iMac*
[06:09] <cablesm102> Is there anything I can do to make Firefox use mplayer-plugin rather than totem without uninstalling totem-mozilla?
[06:09] <h1st0> humblerodent, right click on the clock and adjust date time.. There should be an ntp setting in there.
[06:09] <sky123> amdgamer: I had to recover a server that way and scp'd the files... and no issues.
[06:09] <anthonykid> anyone else here a supposed apple fanboy?
[06:09] <caffiend> rickyfingers: u still there?  got it working and installed, now I can't log in.  did this before too.
[06:09] <h1st0> cablesm102, remove the totem plugin form /usr/share/firefox/plguins
[06:09] <RegalEagle> How do I mount my Windows Parition in Ubuntu?
[06:09] <h1st0> cablesm102, plugins
[06:09] <humblerodent> h1st0: yup, I've already done all of that....it doesn't seem to be syncing it periodically
[06:09] <amdgamer> quite easy to set up? im a noob at linux
[06:09] <cablesm102> h1st0, thanks
[06:09] <h1st0> !ntfs > RegalEagle

[06:10] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:10] <h1st0> amdgamer, is what easy to set up?
[06:10] <anthonykid> so like i said... anyone else here a MAC FANBOY?
[06:10] <amdgamer> the whole thing?
[06:10] <amdgamer> sharing the HDD
[06:10] <cablesm102> Is Ubotu becoming conscious? intelligent?
[06:10] <sc4ttrbrain> !anyone | anthonykid
[06:10] <ubotu> anthonykid: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:10] <h1st0> amdgamer, what installing ubuntu?
[06:10] <cablesm102> What made it suggest that?
[06:11] <sky123> cablesm102: I had the same issue... i guess uninstalling the totem-plugin...which on my box, I believe it kept both totem and mplayer...but used the mplayer-plugin
[06:11] <h1st0> amdgamer, oh sharing the hdd over a windows network?
[06:11] <Madpilot> cablesm102, people using the !anyone tell
[06:11] <amdgamer> i currently have ubuntu 5.10 running live... yes over the W network
[06:11] <h1st0> !samba > amdgamer
[06:11] <dks_matt> hey there, I'm having massive problems with my sound setup since changing cards, could anyone tell me if there's a way to completely reinstall all of the sound systems?  Alsamixer is telling me my card doesn't exist, when the card is present in the device mixer and sound settings dialogue.  I installed the new card to play with jack etc. and do recording so it's very important to me I get everything working if anyone could help
[06:11] <dks_matt> I would really appreciate it.
[06:11] <anthonykid> one more question --> i just purchased a logitech wireless mouse/keyboard setup... what are the chances ill need drivers for them to work?
[06:11] <h1st0> !sound > dks_matt
[06:12] <humblerodent> the new sound mixer in edgy seems screwy....
[06:12] <paradizelost> DBO, u around?
[06:12] <Madpilot> anthonykid, I've used wireless kb/mice on a couple of versions of Ubuntu, they 'just work' too
[06:12] <dks_matt> is there a sound channel?
[06:12] <humblerodent> I had to go to alsamixer in order to set my line-in as capture properly
[06:12] <Khalsa> Hello, If I have this card: nvidia Corporation NV18 [Geforce MX 4000 AGP 8x]  (rev c1), is the the proper document I should be following to install the drivers: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia or something else? I tried following that and it killed X, i had to restore the xorg.conf to the default.
[06:12] <anthonykid> sounds good
[06:12] <h1st0> anthonykid, search for your model on www.ubuntuforums.org but I doubt you'll need drivers.
[06:12] <anthonykid> im starting it up now
[06:12] <anthonykid> alright
[06:12] <h1st0> Khalsa, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[06:13] <h1st0> anthonykid, try the live cd first to see.
[06:13] <anthonykid> yeah, i'm doing that now
[06:13] <anthonykid> i just put it in... it's providing testing features
[06:13] <h1st0> dks_matt, did you check out sound on the desktop guide at help.ubuntu.com?
[06:13] <dks_matt> no I'll go check it out thanks
[06:14] <sky123> Who has experience with sun-sparc ubuntu install??
[06:14] <Khalsa> h1st0: nvidia-glx is already the newest version
[06:14] <h1st0> Khalsa, try glxinfo | grep render      what does that output?
[06:15] <Traveler> Hey boys and hopefully one or two girls. I've recently installed Ubuntu and my screen goes pitch-black!
[06:15] <Traveler> I know I've gotten into Ubuntu since I can hear sounds of drums and stuff
[06:15] <h1st0> Traveler, did the live cd work?  or has the system's display ever worked with ubuntu?
[06:15] <Traveler> no
[06:15] <Traveler> live CD didn't work
[06:15] <Khalsa> h1st0: A bunch of lines like: Xlin: extenstion "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[06:15] <h1st0> Traveler, okay what type of video card?
[06:15] <Traveler> I used the alternate
[06:15] <Khalsa> h1st0: Xlib*
[06:15] <Traveler> Radeon X700 Mobility
[06:15] <amdgamer> live doesnt affect your system correct?
[06:15] <h1st0> Khalsa, okay what else have you tried as far as installing nvidia drivers?
[06:15] <h1st0> Khalsa, did you use automatix?
[06:16] <h1st0> amdgamer, correct unless you mount and format the drive its booting off of the cd.
[06:16] <h1st0> !fglrx > Traveler
[06:16] <pontusen> trying to get iptables working, in it's conf i should have a line like this "-A INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable" but then i can't copy the bak back?
[06:16] <sky123> automatix...is a bad word around here...lol
[06:16] <anthonykid> damnet, im installing ubuntu right noww, but it's not detecting the wireless keyboard
[06:16] <Khalsa> h1st0: nothing, just that document, which, on restart of X, did not restart x and went to command line. I then restred the xorg.conf that was backup
[06:16] <h1st0> Traveler, you can boot into recovery mode and install the proper video drivers.  See if that helps you out.
[06:16] <amdgamer> ahh thanks
[06:16] <humblerodent> brb
[06:17] <h1st0> Khalsa, well just make sure in /etc/X11/xorg.conf you have the line Driver "nvidia"    under the device section.
[06:17] <Khalsa> h1st0: i doubt it, I just restored it to the default xorg.conf
[06:17] <sky123> h1st0: maybe a pastebin of his xorg.conf??
[06:17] <h1st0> Khalsa, well thats the problem.  What are you trying to get working?
[06:17] <Traveler> h1st0: I can't even get into console, how am I supposed to install theese drivers? :P
[06:17] <lullabud> anthonykid:  is it bluetooth or RF?
[06:18] <anthonykid> USB reciever
[06:18] <h1st0> Traveler, boot to recovery mode.
[06:18] <amdgamer> reading up on samba shows alot of connecting users, but i want to share my HDD
[06:18] <Khalsa> h1st0: I haven't tried yet, but I want to get the game "tremulous" working
[06:18] <lullabud> anthonykid:  usb with RF or bluetooth?
[06:18] <h1st0> amdgamer, well you need to share you hdd with samba.
[06:18] <anthonykid> RF
[06:18] <sky123> Traveler: so when you try a ctrl-alt-f1 or f2 it does nothing??
[06:18] <Traveler> h1st0: how?
[06:18] <anthonykid> (im assuming, it was cheap and i know bluetooth is expensive)
[06:18] <lullabud> anthonykid:  what kind of system?
[06:18] <Traveler> sky123: ctrl-alt-f1 locks my computer up
[06:18] <anthonykid> systemax
[06:18] <amdgamer> i just dont userstand how to set up the permissions
[06:18] <Traveler> same with f2
[06:18] <h1st0> Khalsa, well change the deivce section so that it says Driver "nvidia" instead of nv or vesa.
[06:19] <lullabud> anthonykid:  hmm... yeah, probably a bios problem.
[06:19] <cablesm102> h1st0, what did you say about disabling the Totem mozilla plugin? My computer crashed, and I have no log of this chat.
[06:19] <Traveler> So how do I get into recovery mode? -_-
[06:19] <anthonykid> lulla: well, maybe not... this is during installation
[06:19] <lullabud> anthonykid:  that's one of the best things about newer computers.  bios-level usb peripheral recognition.
[06:19] <h1st0> cablesm102, you could try moving the totem plugin out of /usr/share/firefox/plugins/   to somewhere else... That will disable it after restarting firefox.
[06:19] <anthonykid> oh boy...
[06:19] <lullabud> anthonykid:  so, does it work, then it quits working?
[06:19] <h1st0> cablesm102, but it will remain installed as far as the system is concerned.
[06:19] <cablesm102> h1st0, thanks
[06:19] <cablesm102> Traveler, when your system boots up, get into the grub menu by holding ESC. Then choose recovery mode from the menu
[06:20] <anthonykid> lulla: i've got "Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 114..."
[06:20] <lullabud> anthonykid:  actually, here's a test.  when you press "esc" or "tab" or "f2" when the system is booting, does anything happen?
[06:20] <TheLance> hey does anyone know if there is an mp3 to .aac file converter for linux?
[06:20] <lullabud> anthonykid:  that sounds bad.
[06:20] <h1st0> TheLance, google?
[06:20] <anthonykid> lulla: actually, i've got an interface now, and the mouse is being detected
[06:20] <anthonykid> so maybe it's fine
[06:20] <TheLance> tried it
[06:20] <TheLance> nothing
[06:21] <anthonykid> (taking forever to boot tho)
[06:21] <lullabud> anthonykid:  awesome.  it's rad when stuff actually works.  especially wireless mice and keyboards.
[06:21] <anthonykid> sure is... i've got it booted now
[06:21] <cablesm102> h1st0, there is no folder named plugins there. There IS one in /home/.mozilla, but all that's there is the flash plugin
[06:21] <anthonykid> Linux n00b here
[06:21] <amdgamer> i hate wireless mice and keyboards
[06:21] <h1st0> TheLance, http://aacs.kingdomsports.net/
[06:21] <amdgamer> batteries die soo quick
[06:21] <amdgamer> well thats my experience
[06:22] <h1st0> TheLance, nm don't go there spyware wtf.
[06:22] <TheLance> dont worry i fell upon that too
[06:22] <TheLance> but we don't get spyware
[06:22] <TheLance> we're running ubuntu
[06:22] <Dev05> Hi. I'm using Edgy here and I was trying to install a theme under Gnome and everything that I get are Windows 95-like controls. What is missing? I tried to compile, for example, the Candido engine and it tells me that I'm missing GTK+-2.8... :/
[06:22] <cablesm102> DEv05, I had that same exact problem
[06:23] <Khalsa> h1st0: oh, I restarted X and the nvidia logo came up for a moment, I assume this means success? (getting tremulous now)
[06:23] <John64> yep
[06:23] <John64> that means your NV drivers work
[06:23] <h1st0> TheLance, http://blog.i64.pl/PiosBlog/200608/16-convert-mp3-to-aac/
[06:23] <John64> clear
[06:23] <h1st0> Khalsa, yes
[06:23] <anthonykid> all: wow, i'm amazed--> ubuntu is partitioning my HDD for me... i never would have expected this
[06:23] <Dev05> cablesm102, Have you been able to fix it? I simply have no idea at all...
[06:23] <anthonykid> i was assuming i'd just clean install, overwrite windows
[06:23] <anthonykid> im impressed already
[06:23] <h1st0> Khalsa, to check for sure just glxinfo | grep render it should return Direct Rendering yes or somethign like that.
[06:24] <cablesm102> Dev05, nope. Every other theme has done the same thing also.
[06:24] <TheLance> ok
[06:24] <TheLance> thanks h1stwhatever
[06:24] <Khalsa> h1st0: yes, direct rendering: YES
[06:24] <h1st0> anthonykid, very easy to setup..  You definately want to read help.ubuntu.com  "the desktop guide"  will help you through most of your questions.    Also stay away from automatix and easyubuntu
[06:24] <h1st0> Khalsa, you're alls et.
[06:24] <Khalsa> h1st0: Thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate it
[06:24] <h1st0> Khalsa, all set
[06:24] <h1st0> np
[06:24] <Dev05> cablesm102, It's really weird. It shouldn't complain about Gtk packages being missing.
[06:24] <anthonykid> h1st0: what are automatix and easyubuntu?
[06:25] <cablesm102> Is anybody having trouble with themes on Edgy here?
[06:25] <Khalsa> anthonykid: automatix killed my first attempt at ubuntu i'd advise against it :-(
[06:25] <anthonykid> Khalsa: is it an auto installer?
[06:25] <h1st0> anthonykid, they are programs that make installing most common applications "easy"  but however its kind of a hacked way of doing  thingks.  If your check out the desktop guide for all your questions you will be fine.
[06:25] <h1st0> cablesm102, no
[06:26] <anthonykid> alright, thanks
[06:26] <cablesm102> Dev05, want to file a bug?
[06:26] <anthonykid> now all i need is for someone to explain to me the science behind a microprocessor, and i'm good to go!
[06:26] <anthonykid> *heh*
[06:26] <h1st0> anthonykid, the more experience you get you will see what a waste automatix is.  Because most everything you need can be installed in less clicks than installing autmatix etc...
[06:26] <Dev05> cablesm102, Good idea, I hadn't thought about it.
[06:26] <waseem> hi what are good mp4 players?
[06:27] <h1st0> waseem, vlc
[06:27] <TheLance> VLC
[06:27] <h1st0> waseem, totem  any thing works
[06:27] <TheLance> is the good one
[06:27] <cablesm102> Dev05, you do it, then email me the bug # please. Put it to confirmed, also.
[06:27] <squeee> How do i tell where a pkg comes from?  My wallpaper just turned black saying "USING UNTRUSTED REPOSITORES MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE".  Edgy-wallpapers upgraded....
[06:27] <waseem> h1st0 the sound doesnt seem to be working though
[06:27] <waseem> do you think its the file itself?
[06:27] <TheLance> sudo apt-get install vlc
[06:27] <h1st0> waseem, witht he proper codecs .    VLC doesn't need any codecs installed though.
[06:27] <h1st0> waseem, what are you trying to play it with?
[06:27] <TheLance> if you search around
[06:27] <waseem> h1st0 i tried both vlc and totem
[06:28] <TheLance> you can get the .wmv codec to work
[06:28] <waseem> and got no sound from both
[06:28] <jrib> cablesm102, Dev05: you need the -dev packages to compile things.  BUt I am pretty sure candido is in the repositories
[06:28] <TheLance> its probably your sound driver in linux
[06:28] <anthonykid> h1st0: i know partitioning an HDD is a tideous process, but ubuntu's installer is taking quite awhile... should i be worried?
[06:28] <h1st0> waseem, do you have the restricted codecs installed for totem to work?  i.e. gstreamer etc...
[06:28] <waseem> im not sure
[06:28] <waseem> how can i check/
[06:28] <h1st0> anthonykid, like how long?
[06:28] <anthonykid> it's been about 7/8 minutes now
[06:28] <Dev05> jrib, Yeah, but if you try to install a theme, you shouldn't need them. Or... Do you?
[06:29] <h1st0> anthonykid, well did you have it resize the windows partition and create new partitions in the free space?
[06:29] <anthonykid> h1st0: yeah
[06:29] <jrib> Dev05: some themes use particular gtk engines, so yes depending on the theme
[06:29] <h1st0> anthonykid, well the resizing could take a few minutes.  Also depends on how much data is on the rive.
[06:29] <anthonykid> alright, ill give it a bit more
[06:30] <Dev05> jrib, this one for example: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=34779 It won't work, however I do have Clearlooks installed.
[06:30] <anthonykid> im escaping past 20 minutes tho
[06:30] <waseem> h1st0: ya i have gstreamer
[06:30] <h1st0> anthonykid, I belive if you hit ctrl+alt+f1  or +f4  you might be able to see the progress of the installer text based.  To get back to X windows ctrl+alt+f7
[06:30] <waseem> its not the sound card, thats fine because i can play other things with sound
[06:30] <RegalEagle> What is the dpkg command to install rpm and tar.gz/tar.ball files?
[06:30] <cablesm102> Okay, I want to use mplayer plugin rather than totem plugin for mozilla, but I don't want to uninstall the totem plugin because I'd have to uninstall ubuntu-desktop. How can I disable it from Firefox?
[06:30] <h1st0> waseem, well if vlc can't play it and totem with gstreamer can't.  I'd start questioning the file.  Or possibly see if ffmpeg detects and audio stream.
[06:30] <anthonykid> h1st0: hmm... i tried that, nothing
[06:30] <jrib> Dev05: that one should probably work because, like you said, it is using clearlooks.  What exactly happens?
[06:31] <anthonykid> but, my computer is completely responsive in every way
[06:31] <RegalEagle> !rpm
[06:31] <ubotu> rpm is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous).
[06:31] <waseem> how can i check if ffmpeg detects the audio stream?
[06:31] <amdgamer> samba security = ADS, what does that mean?
[06:31] <h1st0> cablesm102, i've told you sudo mv /usr/share/firefox/plugins/tot* /home/<username>/
[06:31] <h1st0> cablesm102, then restart firefox.
[06:31] <RegalEagle> !apt
[06:31] <ubotu> apt is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto  -  Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[06:31] <h1st0> waseem, try converting it.
[06:31] <cablesm102> h1st0, there is no plugins folder in usr/share/firefox
[06:31] <lullabud> amdgamer:  Active Directory Server ?
[06:31] <amdgamer> ah makes sense
[06:32] <h1st0> cablesm102, try locate firefox/plugins
[06:32] <jrib> cablesm102: /usr/lib but you can just do:  sudo touch /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/*mplayer*   and firefox will rpefer mplayer
[06:32] <RegalEagle> Could someone show me how to install a package that Ive downloaded off of a website?
[06:32] <waseem> h1st0: convert it just by renaming it? or is there a special thing i have to do
[06:32] <cablesm102> jrib, thanks
[06:32] <h1st0> cablesm102, if it returns nothing sudo updatedb  then locate firefox/plugins   it may be in /usr/share/mozilla-firefox/plugins or something around there.
[06:32] <eetfunk> I'm following a tutorial and this bit is not familiar to me... what does it mean and how do i do it?  "I removed the setuid bit from the binary, and made it world-executable."
[06:32] <h1st0> jrib, nice  didn't realize touch would work.
[06:33] <anthonykid> h1st0: it's been about 15 minutes now :/
[06:33] <h1st0> eetfunk, it would help if you told us what the hell you where trying ot do?
[06:33] <eetfunk> h1st0: install an app
[06:33] <RegalEagle> !synaptic
[06:33] <ubotu> synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[06:34] <jrib> RegalEagle: what is it a package for?
[06:34] <h1st0> eetfunk, but that would mostlikley mean that any person could execute it i.e. sudo chmod a+x whateverfile   also it may mean you hav eto put the file in yoru path somewhere.
[06:34] <squeee> How do i find out which repository a package came from?
[06:34] <bsnider> has anybody got a geforce 6200?
[06:34] <RegalEagle> jrib: VMware tools
[06:34] <h1st0> eetfunk, what app?
[06:34] <jrib> RegalEagle: you can double click on .deb's
[06:34] <cablesm102> jrib, Touch didn't work... trying deleting the file
[06:34] <h1st0> squeee, /msg ubotu info <packagename>
[06:34] <RegalEagle> jrib: There's an rpm and tar.gz package
[06:34] <jrib> cablesm102: you have to close all instances of firefox and open it again
[06:34] <h1st0> squeee, also possible apt-cache showpkg packagename      may work.
[06:35] <jrib> ubotu: tell RegalEagle about vmware
[06:35] <eetfunk> h1st0: dspam
[06:35] <cablesm102> jrib, i did...
[06:35] <RegalEagle> !vmware
[06:35] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository. Instructions to install VMWare Server can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingVMWare
[06:35] <h1st0> eetfunk, you realize its in the repos right?
[06:35] <RegalEagle> I need the VMware tools
[06:35] <eetfunk> h1st0: yes but i want to install from source
[06:35] <h1st0> eetfunk, could be installed via synaptic or sudo apt-get install dspam  would work.
[06:35] <RegalEagle> not player
[06:35] <squeee> h1st0: My Wallpaper now says "USING UNTRUSTED REPOSITORES MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE"
[06:35] <h1st0> eetfunk, ahh well if you want to install from source.
[06:36] <jrib> RegalEagle: search the wiki for vmware tools, there's a page
[06:36] <Tokenbad> RegalEagle, what are you trying t do...
[06:36] <Tokenbad> the vmware tools?
[06:36] <RegalEagle> yes
[06:36] <pontusen> help! i can only get port 22 open with iptables, can't see what im doing wrong!?
[06:36] <RegalEagle> RPM and tar.gz packages
[06:36] <Tokenbad> have you loaded vmware...and your virtual machine?
[06:36] <RegalEagle> Yes
[06:36] <RegalEagle> Running Ubuntu right now
[06:36] <RegalEagle> >_>
[06:36] <jrib> RegalEagle: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VmwareTools
[06:36] <Tokenbad> ok hold a min
[06:37] <Tokenbad> you can pick to install vmware from within vmware server
[06:37] <Tokenbad> at the top...think its vmware....
[06:37] <RegalEagle> Yes
[06:37] <Tokenbad> then under that install vmware tools
[06:37] <RegalEagle> Yes
[06:37] <RegalEagle> It brings up two packages
[06:38] <RegalEagle> An RPM and a tar.gz
[06:38] <tonyyarusso> I could use some help with lirc/irda if anyone's done that
[06:38] <Tokenbad> hmm.....weird...mine did a auto install
[06:38] <bsnider> has anybody got any geforce 6x series card?
[06:38] <RegalEagle> Double-clicking doesnt work
[06:38] <Tokenbad> well rpm will not work in ubuntu
[06:38] <RegalEagle> Ive got alien installed
[06:38] <Tokenbad> so would have to get tar.gz
[06:38] <RegalEagle> Ive got the tar.gz
[06:38] <Tokenbad> did you untar it?
[06:39] <RegalEagle> How do I do that?
[06:39] <Tokenbad> I normally do gunzip file.tar.gz...then tar -xf file.tar
[06:39] <anthonykid> all: if i dual boot, will ubuntu automatically add a boot loader?
[06:40] <gunner> yes
[06:40] <Tokenbad> but think there is a step with tar to do it all in one step
[06:40] <gunner> to windows that is
[06:40] <Jordan_U> yes still
[06:40] <RegalEagle> gunzip file.tar.gz
[06:40] <RegalEagle> So I do that?
[06:40] <h1st0> squeee, just change your wallpaper?  I don't understand?
[06:40] <Jordan_U> nv
[06:40] <Tokenbad> where file is the full name of the the file...yes
[06:40] <h1st0> RegalEagle, tar xvzf file.tar.gz
[06:40] <Tokenbad> then do tar -xf file.tar
[06:41] <Tokenbad> h1st0, has the command I couldn't remember
[06:41] <Tokenbad> heheh
[06:41] <h1st0> RegalEagle, tar -xzvf file.tar.gz
[06:42] <RegalEagle> Do I do that in a terminal?
[06:42] <jrib> tar xf file.tar.gz  will work as well, tar is getting smart
[06:42] <h1st0> RegalEagle, yes
[06:42] <anthonykid> are there less features on the live CD than are there in an actual installation?
[06:42] <amdgamer> anthonykid, live is slow
[06:42] <gunner> very
[06:42] <Madpilot> anthonykid, no, same stuff is installed by default on both.
[06:43] <Vaun> How can I tell if Aiglx is running?
[06:43] <Madpilot> and yes, live is slow compared to installed
[06:43] <h1st0> anthonykid, not really you but you can install any software you want using synaptic   You can even install program while booted to the live cd with synaptic.  However they will be gone after reboot.
[06:43] <harisund> Hello! When I use iptables to log packets, where do they get logged? In some file? There are some bad packets being dropped, I want to know where they are coming from.
[06:43] <h1st0> harisund, perhaps in /var/log somehwere?
[06:43] <RegalEagle> It wont let me tar it
[06:44] <anthonykid> thank's all
[06:44] <tuko> hello
[06:44] <RegalEagle> tar: Child returned status 2
[06:44] <anthonykid> damn, this partitioner is taking quite awhile
[06:44] <harisund> h1st0: yeah.. that's what I thought too.. do you have any idea of that file?
[06:44] <lullabud> RegalEagle:  try `file foo.tar.gz`
[06:44] <h1st0> RegalEagle, tar -zxvf file.tar.gz  wille xtract it into a folder
[06:44] <lullabud> RegalEagle:  "file" is actually the command.
[06:45] <RegalEagle> oh
[06:45] <h1st0> harisund, dunno look for a iptables directory in /var/log/
[06:45] <RegalEagle> So I enter that word for word?
[06:45] <h1st0> harisund, most log files get put there.  Or possibly in /tmp
[06:45] <lullabud> RegalEagle:  well, change the foo.tar.gz to whatever the actual filename is.
[06:45] <squeee> h1st0: It just feels like a threat to me and i'd like to find out which repository did it.
[06:45] <lullabud> RegalEagle:  the child process is probably gunzip, so if it's returning 2 it may not be a valid file.
[06:46] <RegalEagle> It's on cdrom0
[06:46] <RegalEagle> The package is
[06:46] <lullabud> RegalEagle:  what is the full filename?
[06:46] <RegalEagle> VMwareTools-1.0.1-29996.tar.gz
[06:46] <lullabud> ooooh
[06:46] <h1st0> squeee,  Well you had to change your wallpaper unless you are running a beta version of ubuntu like fiesty.
[06:46] <h1st0> squeee, possibly when the theme updated something got borked.
[06:46] <lullabud> RegalEagle:  so, if it's on a cdrom, you can't extract it.  you'll have to `cp VMwareTools-1.0.1-29996.tar.gz ~/` or something
[06:46] <lullabud> RegalEagle:  then extract it.
[06:47] <RegalEagle> oh
[06:47] <RegalEagle> I'll try
[06:47] <tuko> guys i have a dialup problem, can you help me ?
[06:47] <harisund> h1st0: thanks for the help ... I am not able to find it.. I will continue to search :)
[06:47] <h1st0> RegalEagle, cp that file to your home folder first
[06:47] <squeee> h1st0: No it's an image with a skull and crossbones with a threatening message about my repositories... i really wanna find out what did this
[06:47] <h1st0> RegalEagle, you can't extract it on the cd.
[06:47] <RegalEagle> It wont cp >_>
[06:47] <h1st0> squeee, screenshot?
[06:48] <shiggity> Guys, BEAUTIFUL job on the new Ubuntu release. It's incredible.
[06:48] <h1st0> squeee, you can upload it to www.imageshack.us  dunno if pastebin allows screen shots you could also try there.
[06:48] <RegalEagle> I did: cp VMwareTools-1.0.1-29996.tar.gz ~/
[06:48] <h1st0> harisund, well you could try locate
[06:48] <h1st0> harisund, locate iptables
[06:48] <lullabud> RegalEagle:  then do `cd ; tar -xvzf VMwareTools-1.0.1-29996.tar.gz`
[06:48] <RegalEagle> ok
[06:48] <h1st0> cd ~
[06:49] <lullabud> h1st0:  `cd` is the same as `cd ~`
[06:49] <h1st0> lullabud, ahh cool
[06:49] <boris55> hey all
[06:49] <h1st0> Is there a keyboard shortcut for that?
[06:49] <squeee> h1st0: http://img168.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ubuntusmoothchocolatezn2.png
[06:49] <lullabud> h1st0:  yeah, it's C D
[06:49] <lullabud> ;-)
[06:49] <h1st0> squeee, I have never seen that before.  That is definately odd.
[06:50] <boris55> question about using bcm43xx?
[06:50] <h1st0> lullabud, lol
[06:50] <amdgamer> lol
[06:50] <h1st0> lullabud, well its still one key press longer than a shortcut.
[06:50] <sc4ttrbrain> squeee, lol,good wallpaper
[06:50] <RegalEagle> Still not working
[06:50] <h1st0> lullabud, like ctrl+d type stuff
[06:50] <lullabud> h1st0:  LOL, only a quake geek would worry about one keystroke
[06:50] <squeee> ya
[06:51] <squeee> anybody know how to find out where this came from?
[06:51] <lullabud> h1st0:  the quake 1 manual said to use ".rc" instead of ".cfg" because it was one letter shorter. :P
[06:51] <h1st0> squeee, welll do you use aptitude or apt-get to install software
[06:51] <squeee> yes
[06:51] <squeee> there was an upgrade for edgy-wallpapers
[06:51] <h1st0> lullabud, lol
[06:51] <squeee> and that's waht happend
[06:51] <minghua> Can edgy desktop i386 install CD handle existent LVM?
[06:52] <h1st0> squeee, Well i'm up to date and I don't have that wallpaper
[06:52] <lullabud> squeee:  you might try doing a `strings /path/wallpaper.png | more` and see what it says.
[06:52] <RegalEagle> Ok, I extracted the tar.gz to my Desktop
[06:52] <amdgamer> you dont have to restart samba when you add a user?
[06:52] <squeee> hist0: I used a list of repositories from a friend, so i have alot
[06:52] <jrib> squeee: that wallpaper hints at the problem, what unofficial repos are you using
[06:52] <squeee> lullabud: I ran it through hexedit, nothing
[06:53] <RegalEagle> lullbud: I extracted the tar.gz to the Desktop
[06:53] <squeee> jrib: Too many to list, I'm going to format just in case, but i want to find out what did this
[06:53] <jrib> squeee: apt-cache policy edgy-wallpapers
[06:53] <RegalEagle> lullabud: By righ-click -> Extract to
[06:53] <lullabud> RegalEagle:  awesome!  let's all celebrate with a shot!
[06:53] <h1st0> RegalEagle, http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/
[06:53] <RegalEagle> lullabud: So how do I install now?
[06:53] <lullabud> RegalEagle:  ah, it's awesome when people find shortcuts. :)  i'm such a terminal nerd i forget that there actually are easy ways to do stuff.
[06:54] <squeee> jrib: gave me this...  http://johan.kiviniemi.name
[06:54] <h1st0> RegalEagle, take a look at the link I sent you will tell you how to install anything in ubuntu.
[06:54] <cpk1> trying to ssh to my other box using ssh user@host and it is refusing me?
[06:54] <RegalEagle> lol
[06:54] <RegalEagle> h1st0, Ive got that link bookmarked ;)
[06:54] <h1st0> lullabud, well terminal is a much easier way to tell people how to do stuff on irc.
[06:54] <lullabud> cpk1:  what's the error say, or is it just timing out?
[06:54] <lullabud> h1st0:  true.dat
[06:54] <h1st0> cpk1, is sshd running on the other box?
[06:54] <jrib> squeee: well that's probably it then
[06:54] <cpk1> it says connection refused
[06:55] <lullabud> cpk1:  ssh is probably not installed.
[06:55] <cpk1> and i have no idea its completely headless right now
[06:55] <h1st0> !ssh > cpk1
[06:55] <lullabud> cpk1:  ....on the target host, that is.
[06:55] <cpk1> i see, is there any way i can access it then without ssh?
[06:55] <cpk1> i would like to turn it off nicely
[06:56] <h1st0> cpk1, not without a head
[06:56] <h1st0> cpk1, unless you exploited it.
[06:56] <screechingcat> why does Ubuntu say i have two floppy drives even though i have only one ?
[06:56] <cpk1> forgive me, dear desktop
[06:56] <Khalsa> What is the linux filezilla/smartftp equivalent? (I know how to do ftp/etc from command line, just would be nice to have a gui)
[06:56] <lullabud> cpk1:  sometimes you can press ctrl-alt-del to get it to reboot... then power off when you hear the post beep.
[06:56] <amdgamer> samba, do i want wins server?
[06:56] <cpk1> yes but it doesnt even have a keyboard or mouse atm
[06:56] <Toma-> Khalsa: d4x
[06:56] <RegalEagle> h1st0: What are these "compiler tools"?
[06:57] <screechingcat> my / dir contains "Floppy1 and Floppy Drive"
[06:57] <lullabud> cpk1:  plug one in?
[06:57] <screechingcat> how do i get rid of the Floppy1 ?
[06:57] <cpk1> i dont have any of those with me right now ><
[06:57] <h1st0> RegalEagle, sudo apt-get build-essential   thats a meta package of tools for compiling software from source.
[06:57] <lullabud> screechingcat:  the preferred method is to throw it out the window.
[06:57] <cpk1> i will just have to be mean to it
[06:57] <Khalsa> Toma-: do i want d4x or d4x-common?
[06:57] <h1st0> cpk1, do you ahve acpi?
[06:58] <screechingcat> lullabud: the floppy drive or the icon ?
[06:58] <lullabud> screechingcat:  LOL, good question!
[06:58] <Trixse1> Ahh, thanks for the help... got in now :)
[06:58] <h1st0> cpk1, you could try just tapping the power button not holding it down.   See if it powers down that would be a nice way of suspending it.
[06:58] <lullabud> screechingcat:  you should be able to delete them with root privs.
[06:58] <Trixse1> h1st0: thx for your help :D
[06:58] <cpk1> i tried tapping it and didnt work
[06:58] <h1st0> Trixse1, np
[06:58] <cpk1> i powered it off >=(
[06:58] <screechingcat> lullabud: i tried. it got deleted and then came back after reboot
[06:58] <RegalEagle> h1st0: Invalid operation build-essential
[06:58] <lullabud> screechingcat:  do you have a floppy disk drive?
[06:59] <h1st0> cpk1, ahh well you have to do what you have to do sometimes
[06:59] <screechingcat> lullabud: yeah but only 1
[06:59] <cpk1> anyways time to go move it back to its peripherals thanks for the help =)
[06:59] <h1st0> RegalEagle, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[06:59] <RegalEagle> k
[06:59] <screechingcat> lullabud: and ubuntu shows 2
[06:59] <lullabud> screechingcat:  and these are in your root directory?
[06:59] <h1st0> RegalEagle, sry typo little buzzed here. Was out drinking all night.
[06:59] <specialbuddy> can someone help me out with getting apollon working?
[06:59] <screechingcat> lullabud: yeah
[06:59] <lullabud> screechingcat:  do you have a virtual floppy, like from your bios emulating a usb flash disk as a floppy?
[07:00] <screechingcat> lullabud: i dont have a USB flash disk
[07:00] <h1st0> specialbuddy, you mean installing it?
[07:00] <tonyyarusso> What provides the lirc_sir module?
[07:00] <Keyseir> I'm having a wierd bug with apt-get on edgy. I referenced google but couldn't find an answer. Help please? http://pastebin.com/821697
[07:00] <specialbuddy> I have it installed but I can't get any of the networks to connect
[07:00] <screechingcat> specialbuddy: you need to configure GiFT
[07:00] <h1st0> lullabud, my typos are extremely high tonight.  Probably cuz I can barely see straight.  Gotta live spelll cheking.  But i'm to lazy to fix most of it.
[07:01] <specialbuddy> I did but I still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong
[07:01] <screechingcat> specialbuddy: there's a good guide on it in the ubuntu forums
[07:01] <h1st0> specialbuddy, firewall?
[07:01] <h1st0> specialbuddy, www.ubuntuforums.org
[07:01] <specialbuddy> I have a router
[07:01] <RegalEagle> h1st0: Is this available in Synaptic? I dont have my Ubuntu disc and it's not recognizing the Ubuntu ISO that VMware is supplying
[07:01] <screechingcat> specialbuddy: just look up "\GiFT, gnutella, ares, kazza" in the search box
[07:01] <lullabud> LOL @ h1st0 spelll checking indeed!
[07:01] <Trixse1> How do I compile stuff like mplayer in Ubuntu?
[07:02] <h1st0> !info build-essential
[07:02] <specialbuddy> ok
[07:02] <squeee> Keyseir: Try "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" and change the remove us.archive to just archive in all of them
[07:02] <specialbuddy> thanks
[07:02] <ubotu> build-essential: informational list of build-essential packages. In component main, is optional. Version 11.3 (edgy), package size 6 kB, installed size 48 kB
[07:02] <screechingcat> Trixse1: by following guides that greater mortals have posted
[07:02] <h1st0> RegalEagle, yes its in synaptic
[07:02] <RegalEagle> thanks
[07:02] <Toma-> Trixse1: its better to use synaptic to simple install the pre-compiled versions
[07:02] <screechingcat> Trixse1: just google "compile mplayer ubuntu"
[07:02] <Keyseir> squee: ok
[07:02] <RegalEagle> Sorry for all the work Im causing :p
[07:02] <Trixse1> ok thanks
[07:02] <lullabud> Keyseir:  that problem looks like a server issue...
[07:03] <h1st0> RegalEagle, any package int he repos is availble to install via synaptic its just easier for me to tell you to apt-get install rather than open synaptic and search and install.  blah blah
[07:03] <lullabud> Keyseir:  probably referencing a 404 or something.
[07:03] <RegalEagle> Ah ok
[07:03] <screechingcat> lullabud: did u figure anything out about my mysterious floppy drive ?
[07:03] <xiphoid> Where can I find info about that cool xlg/compiz stuff? I have installed an older ubunto 6.something just now. .And want to give it a go
[07:03] <h1st0> !away lunchbox
[07:03] <ubotu> away: A terminal locking program. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.5-3 (edgy), package size 17 kB, installed size 124 kB

[07:03] <amdgamer> ughh i dont get it, how do i make windows and linux authorize eachother so i can access files?
[07:04] <h1st0> xiphoid, /j #ubuntu-xgl
[07:04] <amdgamer> ive added an acount
[07:04] <specialbuddy> I've seen these tutorials and they still don't work
[07:04] <xiphoid> Sweet, good stuff guys :)
[07:04] <amdgamer> and set a pass but it doesnt work
[07:04] <screechingcat> amdgamer: install ntfs-3g
[07:04] <xiphoid> !beryl
[07:04] <ubotu> beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/  -  Please see #ubuntu-xgl for help with beryl.
[07:04] <amdgamer> its FAT
[07:04] <Feldegast> #ubuntu-xgl is a good place
[07:04] <xiphoid> Thanks :)
[07:04] <screechingcat> amdgamer: then you should have no problem
[07:04] <lullabud> screechingcat:  nope.  i don't know much about floppies, haven't had to use one in like 6 years, except to install RAID drivers in @#$% win2k3 server.
[07:04] <h1st0> Feldegast, #ubuntu+1 is cooler
[07:04] <amdgamer> ughh
[07:04] <screechingcat> amdgamer: do u mean windows to linux ?
[07:04] <amdgamer> yes
[07:05] <amdgamer> for windows the login box
[07:05] <Keyseir> squeee: removed the "us" ran apt-get update and no error messages. Thx
[07:05] <screechingcat> amdgamer: install the e2fs driver for windows
[07:05] <amdgamer> comes up as [computername] /something
[07:05] <amdgamer> as the username
[07:05] <screechingcat> amdgamer: forget all the users and whatever you were doing
[07:05] <amdgamer> okay...
[07:05] <squeee> Keyseir: No problem :D
[07:05] <screechingcat> amdgamer: just install this e2fs driver
[07:05] <amdgamer> on the windows machine?
[07:06] <screechingcat> amdgamer: yeah
[07:06] <screechingcat> amdgamer: google it and download the exe
[07:06] <amdgamer> on it
[07:07] <h1st0> screechingcat, why would he do that instead of just getting samba working properly
[07:07] <tonyyarusso> I'm trying to make my CD player's remote control work with my Thinkpad laptop via irda/lirc, and I have no idea what I'm doing.  I've read stuff on the Thinkwiki, Ubuntu wiki, and lirc site, and I think I have some pieces in place, but it's not all coming together.
[07:07] <screechingcat> amdgamer: this is a netwrok ?
[07:08] <h1st0> tonyyarusso, do you have lircd running and is it seeing your irda port?
[07:08] <screechingcat> amdgamer: not a dualboot ?
[07:08] <h1st0> tonyyarusso, if so try irw and see if the remote is being pickedup.
[07:08] <amdgamer> yes network
[07:08] <tonyyarusso> h1st0: I've had it both running and not; I'm supposed to have it not when doing a configuration step.  No idea if it sees anything.
[07:08] <h1st0> tonyyarusso, and if thats the case then you just mostlikely need a .lircrc in yoru ~
[07:08] <screechingcat> amdgamer: oh shit. im sorry. i thought u meant a dualboot
[07:08] <h1st0> tonyyarusso, irw isyour friend
[07:08] <tonyyarusso> h1st0: irw gives me an error and won't run
[07:08] <Keyseir> what happens if you "sudo chown $user / -R"?
[07:08] <amdgamer> yeah i didnt understand where i was going with that
[07:09] <screechingcat> amdgamer: im sorry mate
[07:09] <h1st0> tonyyarusso, hrm... lsmod | grep lirc
[07:09] <amdgamer> but im having trouble setting up the usernames, no problem dude
[07:09] <tonyyarusso> h1st0: Nothing atm.
[07:09] <h1st0> amdgamer, there are hundreds of samba howtos on the net.
[07:09] <h1st0> tonyyarusso, ps aux | grep lircx
[07:09] <h1st0> tonyyarusso, ps aux | grep lirc
[07:09] <tonyyarusso> h1st0: Actually, now I got it to run, but it doesn't do anything.
[07:10] <amdgamer> another search here i come
[07:10] <tonyyarusso> h1st0: nobody    7796  0.0  0.0   1796   432 ?        Ss   01:00   0:00 /usr/sbin/inputlircd /dev/input/event0 /dev/input/event1 /dev/input/event2 /dev/input/event3 /dev/input/event4 /dev/input/event5
[07:10] <screechingcat> amdgamer: dont just do a google search
[07:10] <h1st0> tonyyarusso, well if you get irw running try pointing the mote at the sensor and hitting buttons.
[07:10] <screechingcat> amdgamer: search in the ubuntu document storage facility
[07:11] <tonyyarusso> h1st0: nothing
[07:11] <h1st0> tonyyarusso, you need the lirc module loaded though I know that much.  outside of that its been awhile since i've messed with lirc.
[07:11] <tonyyarusso> h1st0: Additionally, the ThinkWiki mentioned a lirc_sir module, which I seem not to have.
[07:11] <Mavez-San> haha
[07:11] <h1st0> Okay i need to lay down for a bit.
[07:13] <tonyyarusso> Aw man
[07:13] <Bade> D

[07:21] <startgame412> does anyone know if Ubuntu will be able to work on the plystation 3?
[07:21] <tamacracker> hm... where's the user list at?
[07:22] <carthik> tamacracker, my left
[07:22] <tamacracker> carthik all I see is the Ubuntu servers list :(
[07:23] <vega__> Hello people.
[07:23] <startgame412> hello hows it going
[07:23] <vega__> What's the most common media player for Ubuntu?
[07:23] <anderbubble> Totem
[07:23] <vega__> Thanks
[07:23] <tamacracker> or Amarok :D
[07:23] <anderbubble> that'd be for Kubuntu
[07:24] <startgame412> will ubuntu be able to work on the ps3?
[07:24] <tamacracker> Guys.... I really really need your help, I've checked the forum board, either I'm horrifically stupid, or I cannot understand what it is I'm doing wrong with I try to install Nicotine
[07:24] <tamacracker> with = when
[07:25] <xiphoid> Here I am again :p Sorry :) I know you guys hate nubs
[07:25] <vega__> Nubs are what this channel is for.
[07:25] <OctobersDark> vega__: VLC Player is popular as in MPlayer
[07:25] <xiphoid> Is there a live cd iso I can download from edgy eft?
[07:25] <anderbubble> xiphoid, the main installer boots as a live cd
[07:25] <OctobersDark> as IS MPlayer
[07:25] <startgame412> you can download a livecd from ubu site
[07:26] <tamacracker> can anyone help me install nicotine on edgy please?
[07:26] <amdgamer> wtf
[07:26] <amdgamer> is there was way to have a public share
[07:26] <dks_matt> can anybody tell me how to reconfigure/reinstall alsa?
[07:26] <amdgamer> no login??
[07:27] <carthik> dks_matt, alsaconf from the commandline I think
[07:27] <dks_matt> ok
[07:27] <vega__> I can't seem to delete sources.list, but i need to restore a backup
[07:27] <vega__> Any help?
[07:28] <carthik> dks_matt, if you want to reinstall it, use sudo apt-get install --reinstall <whatever>
[07:28] <dks_matt> alsaconf isnt there the only options are alsactl and alsamixer
[07:28] <carthik> vega__, use sudo <whatever-command>
[07:28] <dks_matt> is it possible to reinstall the whole of alsa?
[07:28] <vega__> So if I do it from console and use sudo it will delete?  Thanks.
[07:28] <dks_matt> its not a package
[07:29] <dks_matt> ive reinstalled everything in synaptic that has anything to do with alsa and it hasnt solved my problem
[07:29] <carthik> dks_matt, apt-cache search alsa will tell you what packages have "alsa" in their name.... reinstall the one that you think you need.
[07:29] <vega__> I forgot how to work Terminal.
[07:29] <vega__> Yes I'm a blonde.
[07:29] <vega__> H
[07:29] <vega__> How do you delete things again?
[07:29] <carthik> vega__, sudo rm whatever.txt
[07:29] <vega__> rm, Thanks.
[07:30] <OctobersDark> vega__: You can also use Krusader in root mode and overwrite the list that way too by replacing the file if you have a back-up
[07:30] <OctobersDark> vega__: It is a more graphical solution
[07:30] <dks_matt> I've already reinstalled everything I could find it didn't help
[07:31] <dks_matt> maybe if I explain my problem?
[07:31] <vega__> As long as I have the words I need I can use command line style computing.
[07:31] <B_166-ER-X> !xwinwrap
[07:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xwinwrap - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:31] <OctobersDark> vega__: didn't mean to say you couldn't :-) no offense
[07:31] <vega__> None taken.
[07:32] <dks_matt> I've been trying to sort this for hours now :(
[07:32] <juan> hey alguien me puede ayudar???
[07:32] <dks_matt> I thought it was my sound card
[07:32] <dks_matt> but I can get some things to play
[07:33] <startgame412> hola juan
[07:33] <dks_matt> it's just anything to do with alsa gives me a message saying my sound card doesnt exist and i dont understand why
[07:33] <juan> ke onda
[07:33] <youser> hey ayone here use icon themes?
[07:33] <juan> lo que pasa es que acabo de instalar ubuntu 5.10
[07:33] <juan> ademas soy nuevo en la onda de linux
[07:34] <juan> y no se por donde empezar!!!
[07:34] <startgame412> yo tambien
[07:34] <lullabud> !es
[07:34] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendrn mas ayuda.
[07:35] <vega__> What's the syntax to use rename?  What does the -v, -n, and -f do?
[07:35] <youser> icon themes?
[07:35] <vega__> Just sudo rename /etc/apt/sources.list.save /etc/apt/sources.list doesnt work.
[07:35] <roryy> vega__: use 'mv' instead
[07:35] <vega__> Okay thanks.
[07:35] <vega__> So rename doesn't do anything helpful?
[07:36] <vega__> Or am I just using it wrong?
[07:36] <roryy> you can read 'man rename' to find out; it's for renaming groups of files in a pattern
[07:36] <vega__> MV worked, thanks.
[07:37] <startgame412> What's the best way to intall ubuntu. I have the live cd but would like to mave it on my pc so i don't have ot keep on configuring my setings each time i boot into Ubuntu
[07:37] <startgame412> It seems simple enough to me but I am woried about not erasing my windows xp install
[07:37] <vega__> It does not erase windows.
[07:37] <mikm[laptop] > startgame412- There should be an install icon on the desktop of the livecd
[07:37] <startgame412> yes
[07:38] <vega__> And it comes with an easy graphical interface when you start your computer asking which operating system to start.
[07:38] <h3htimo> hey, can someone help me get fglrx working???
[07:38] <halex-ab> startgame412, you can install it on a memory stick if you need..
[07:38] <dorto> startgame412, if you install ubuntu on a separate partition, you can use both windows and ubuntu at the same time
[07:38] <startgame412> I understand what to do but I am being cautious as to not overide my windows xp install and loose all my files
[07:38] <vega__> But that is dangerous, so I've heard.
[07:38] <mikm[laptop] > Well, not at the *same* time
[07:38] <vega__> You could, but that's bad practice
[07:38] <mikm[laptop] > How would you do that?
[07:38] <startgame412> can i use qpart ot do a partiion?
[07:38] <vega__> Dual boot.
[07:39] <dorto> startgame412, how many partitions do you have on your computer? how many of them store windows os, windows applicatios and windows data?
[07:39] <mikm[laptop] > vega__- But that's not at the "same" time :p
[07:39] <roryy> startgame412: i think there might be a way to say your settings on a memory stick
[07:39] <mikm[laptop] > vega__- Dual booting is safe.
[07:39] <startgame412> only 1 big 80 GB partion
[07:39] <roryy> dual booting is bad practise *horrors!*
[07:39] <roryy> :-)
[07:39] <youser> dual booting rocks
[07:39] <vega__> Dual booting is safe?  Then I'm misinformed.
[07:39] <halex-ab> How is it not safe?
[07:40] <youser> except windows shouldnt be ued on a linux computer cuz its inferior
[07:40] <vega__> Lol...
[07:40] <loaftop> uh
[07:40] <youser> and itll make linux thnk you dont love it anymore
[07:40] <roryy> i've been dual-booting for about three years and i haven't had an injury yet
[07:40] <halex-ab> heh, 'other' than that..
[07:40] <mikm[laptop] > youser- :|
[07:40] <vega__> I thought dual booting caused some programs to crash.  I guess not.
[07:40] <dorto> startgame412, in that case you will have to defragment the entire disk, TAKE A BACKUP OF IMPORTANT DATA, use GParted or something like that to create a new partition and then install ubuntu on it
[07:40] <mikm[laptop] > vega__- No...
[07:40] <h3htimo> anybody wanna try to help me with getting my video card driver to work???
[07:40] <mikm[laptop] > !ati | h3htimo
[07:40] <ubotu> h3htimo: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:40] <vega__> I wish WINE worked on 64 bit linux
[07:40] <vega__> Then I could throw windows out.
