[12:01] <juano__> adaptr: yes it does, i even have the audio cd player plugin installed
[12:01] <juano__> adaptr: and its enabled
[12:01] <adaptr> !ask | leobloo1
[12:01] <ubotu> leobloo1: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:01] <swarog> crimsun: reboot, brb
[12:01] <Enverex> Does Ubuntu have "Gnome-Light" available? (i.e. Gnome without the bloat)
[12:01] <MKR> xfce? :P
[12:01] <lovloss> what if you  politely ask for the permission to ask if you can ask a question?
[12:01] <Pommie> Shaezsche : Then "chmod u+x" the two files.
[12:02] <leobloo1> I want to unistall some softwares that I don't need and are rather heavy for  my pc (like evolution, ekiga or some players since I mostly use vlc) if I do it via terminal will I completely remove them? and how can I remove some like the games but no all of them? Like the games, i want to erase all the games but I like one and they seem to be bound together
[12:02] <MKR> Pommie: That part of chmod is still confusing to me - that sets execute for the user, right?
[12:02] <lovloss> Hmm... anyone here good at web design?
[12:03] <Pommie> MKR: Yes. Exactly.
[12:03] <MKR> Yay, my memory works
[12:03] <MKR> Thanks
[12:03] <lovloss> leobloo1: it will tell you what its going to remove if you do apt-get remove
[12:03] <grndslm> guys...i'm down to my last obvious problem, hda intel sound on edgy...seems like there's an issue with 1.0.11, and I'd like to upgrade to 1.0.13 or newer...what would be the easiest method??
[12:03] <lovloss> leobloo1: Usually it takes out the program in its entirety. may leave dependencies. if any dependencies arent needed afterward, it will let you autocleanup
[12:04] <leobloo1> I've checked with the synaptic and i have to remove everything manually
[12:04] <GaiaX11> How do I rename an icon from hda1 which apear in my desktop area?
[12:04] <jorvis_> anyone know where the linux-dri-modules-common package is?
[12:04] <lovloss> dont use synaptic unless you know what your doing
[12:04] <leobloo1> how was the command for the autocleanup? sudo autoclean?
[12:04] <AmaroqWolf> .sh files are a red hat installation type file right? How do I convert those to .deb?
[12:04] <MKR> .rpm is redhat
[12:04] <lovloss> it tells you when there's something that needs cleaning
[12:04] <leobloo1> so synaptic is more dangeoruns than the terminal?
[12:04] <MKR> .sh is a shalle script
[12:04] <AmaroqWolf> Oh
[12:05] <MKR> *shell
[12:05] <AmaroqWolf> If I have a .sh that's meant to install something into redhat, do I have to do anything to it or can I run it in ubuntu?
[12:05] <Pommie> AmaroqWolf : RPM files are RedHat Package Manager (RPM) files.
[12:05] <lovloss> Synaptic presents you with every single thing you have. If you know whats using what its fine.... but for erasing stuff, leave it to the terminal. Debian was made to do it itself
[12:05] <MKR> AmaroqWolf, it depends on what it is
[12:05] <Bogus8> does the live cd have NTFS support on it?
[12:05] <swarog> crimsun: correct version loaded, still no sound
[12:05] <blueprints88888> AmaroqWolf i think .sh are shell files
[12:05] <MKR> We would need to know what he script is :P
[12:05] <blueprints88888> bash i mean
[12:06] <Bogus8> !ntfs
[12:06] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[12:06] <AmaroqWolf> I'm trying to install a printer driver.
[12:06] <grndslm> guys...i'm down to my last obvious problem, hda intel sound on edgy...seems like there's an issue with 1.0.11, and I'd like to upgrade to 1.0.13 or newer...what would be the easiest method??
[12:06] <GaiaX11> How do I rename an icon from hda1 which apear in my desktop area? And the name is a little square symbol with two line. The first is 00 and the second 02. Very strange
[12:06] <AmaroqWolf> z600CUPS-1.0.1.gz.sh
[12:06] <leobloo1> how can I clean everything via terminal then? I had read somewhere that the autocleanup was useful to clean the system (like for example crap cleaner for windows)
[12:06] <Pommie> !cups | AmaroqWolf
[12:06] <ubotu> AmaroqWolf: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[12:06] <ricardo> hi ,how can see the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V_V8WNFYEE??
[12:06] <fiveiron> uh... is it a good thing if i run "aptitude -f install" and it looks like its going to remove pretty much every package on my system?
[12:06] <MKR> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[12:06] <Stormx2> ricardo: Install flash
[12:06] <lovloss> *dislikes using synaptic*
[12:06] <adaptr> AmaroqWolf: the most important issue is whether it will work with your kernel version and/or printing system
[12:07] <ricardo> fash?
[12:07] <AmaroqWolf> Ah
[12:07] <Pommie> !apt-get | lovloss
[12:07] <ubotu> lovloss: 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)
[12:07] <ricardo> the sinaptic?
[12:07] <MKR> youtube uses flash
[12:07] <fiveiron> why would aptitude downgrade my xserver-xorg?
[12:07] <OrangeOrange> whwere is gconf key
[12:07] <OrangeOrange> ?
[12:07] <lovloss> I like apt-get
[12:07] <ricardo> ahhh okey thanx
[12:07] <phr34ck> Hey, each time I log-in I have to do these steps in order to get connected: sudo ifconfig eth0 down, sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether "macaddress", sudo ifconfig eth0 up. then sudo network-admin and I choose eth0 as my default gateway ..... Is there a way to automate this at boot-up or at login ?
[12:07] <grndslm> I like aptitude better
[12:07] <swarog> crimsun: any ideas?
[12:07] <Pommie> Aptitude is nice for when you're ssh'd to a box
[12:07] <lovloss> aptitude.  Too much controll.
[12:08] <wayne_> My wlan works under i386 edgy eft kernel, but not under generic kernel. Any ideas?
[12:08] <crimsun> swarog: pastebin amixer, please
[12:08] <Bogus8> Am i correct in assuming that the live cd have NTFS support on it?
[12:08] <Pommie> wayne_ : Submit it as a bug to the ubuntu developers?
[12:08] <leobloo1> yep actually  using the terminal it's far easier than synaptic and much faster than add/remove =o) I was (am?) just scared of using it sometimes
[12:08] <corevette> can someone help me out installing my ATI video card? i need human help...not ubotu help
[12:09] <EnsignRedshirt> lovloss: I don't know how you could "lose crap" with Synaptic.  It shows you everything it is going to do.  Anyway, I'll stop now :)
[12:09] <MKR> Bogus8, it should, but I doubt it has write support
[12:09] <lovloss> Trust your terminal. :3 love the terminal
[12:09] <Bogus8> MKR: not looking to write just recover
[12:09] <grndslm> guys...i'm down to my last obvious problem, hda intel sound on edgy...seems like there's an issue with 1.0.11, and I'd like to upgrade to 1.0.13 or newer...what would be the easiest method??
[12:09] <Stormx2> Bogus8: Read only, but yeah
[12:09] <wayne_> could I use a ndiswrapper to get it working under generic?
[12:09] <MKR> Then it should work
[12:09] <lovloss> EnsignRedshirt: Its just that its quite a lot of data staring at me. And i manage to delete the wrong things.
[12:09] <Pommie> Bogus8 : Write support with ntfs is really ... erm... well, it's not perfect. :)
[12:09] <boo1234567890> so many poeple.. I dl the ubuntudesktop iso, and burned it and checked the number, and it runs on this machine, but then errors on my other machine, where should I go for help?
[12:09] <erisco> does anyone know of a database of english words and their definitions?
[12:09] <Bogus8> Pommie: Stormx2: MKR: fdisk doesn't see the drive but gnome partition editor does any clue?
[12:10] <corevette> bool1234567890 you know your old when you call your computer a 'machine'
[12:10] <Bogus8> I'm not looking to write to NTFS... the drive is failing and I want to try and recover some files
[12:10] <pinchmesh> bah, areca 1210 doesn't work as well as the builtin sata controllers on gigabyte mobo's with ubuntu daily builds.. it's slow
[12:10] <swarog> crimsun: http://pastebin.com/860074
[12:10] <phr34ck> corevette, sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx-control
[12:10] <boo1234567890> I are old
[12:10] <Stormx2> Bogus8: The drive or the partition? You need to feed fdisk a drive reference like /dev/hda or /dev/hdb
[12:10] <Pommie> erisco : This is a ubuntu support channel, not english language.
[12:10] <Bogus8> Stormx2: yeah, I've tried that and also `fdisk -l` and it doesn't see it
[12:10] <MKR> You can use df to see the names of your file systems
[12:11] <EnsignRedshirt> lovloss: To each his/her own. And, it is certainly easier to say "apt-get install package" in IRC than "Click on .., then click on ..., then click OK, etc"
[12:11] <pinchmesh> <- think it's a problem in ubuntu or kernel 2.6.20
[12:11] <Stormx2> boo1234567890: What is your native language?
[12:11] <lovloss> ^_^
[12:11] <boo1234567890> english
[12:11] <corevette> phr34ck...when i do a fglrxinfo  in the terminal...i get this 3dmesa stuff
[12:11] <Stormx2> Oh, okay
[12:11] <OrangeOrange> how do i load a program where its not in my menus ?
[12:11] <Stormx2> What errors are you receiving?
[12:11] <crimsun> swarog: mute 'IEC958'
[12:11] <Bogus8> MKR: isn't that only for mounted systems?
[12:11] <Pommie> Bogus8 : I'd try the 'v'erify command to verify your fdisk partition
[12:11] <phr34ck> corevette, use: sudo aticonfig --initial
[12:11] <phr34ck> then restart your computer
[12:12] <MKR> If it's there and detected by the liveced, it should be mounted
[12:12] <grndslm> guys...i'm down to my last obvious problem, hda intel sound on edgy...seems like there's an issue with 1.0.11, and I'd like to upgrade to 1.0.13 or newer...what would be the easiest method??
[12:12] <boo1234567890> it fills the screen with a bunch of the same line, then reboots
[12:12] <EnsignRedshirt> OrangeOrange: Do you know the name of the exectubale program.
[12:12] <OrangeOrange> hmm
[12:12] <pinchmesh> how do you determine whats available from apt-get ??
[12:12] <EnsignRedshirt> *executable
[12:12] <swarog> crimsun: did it, no sound
[12:12] <Stormx2> OrangeOrange: Running its executable. What have you installed?
[12:12] <moverman> Does anyone have a good resource for getting the java plugin to work with Firefox?
[12:12] <corevette> phr34ck: Nothing to do, terminating.
[12:12] <Flannel> pinchmesh: apt-cache search [stuff] , or packags.ubuntu.com
[12:12] <Stormx2> boo1234567890: Please give the line
[12:12] <tobyr> Hey guys
[12:12] <OrangeOrange> hold on
[12:12] <pinchmesh> ah, ok
[12:12] <Flannel> pinchmesh: er, packages.ubuntu.com, or use some GUI thing like aptitude, synaptic, adept, etc
[12:12] <tobyr> Does it matter whether I use XFCE or Gnome?
[12:12] <crimsun> swarog: was your model detected correctly?
[12:12] <boo1234567890> it'll take a sec, I gotta boot up the other machine
[12:12] <OrangeOrange> Configuration Editor
[12:12] <tobyr> Because I think I prefer XFCE
[12:12] <crimsun> swarog: pastebin your ``lspci -nv''
[12:13] <OrangeOrange> its already installed
[12:13] <EnsignRedshirt> pinchmesh: Run Synaptic :)
[12:13] <Stormx2> tobyr: XFCE is more lightweight, GNOME is more used / has more features. Take your pick.
[12:13] <phr34ck> Hey, each time I log-in I have to do these steps in order to get connected: sudo ifconfig eth0 down, sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether "macaddress", sudo ifconfig eth0 up. then sudo network-admin and I choose eth0 as my default gateway ..... Is there a way to automate this at boot-up or at login ?
[12:13] <Bogus8> Pommie: what verify command... I just searched the man file and there is no "verify" on fdisk?
[12:13] <Stormx2> phr34ck: Maybe post a thread on ubuntuforums.org?
[12:13] <tobyr> Well I can't configure themes that much on GNOME, and I can't set advanced options for the screensavers in GNOME either
[12:13] <ActivE> Does ubuntu support raid arrays?
[12:13] <swarog> crimsun: how can i see what version alsa detected?
[12:13] <leobloo1> I'd also like to know that about gnome and xfce, I have some games for kde but I?m using gnome, are they compatible?
[12:13] <Flannel> ActivE: yep
[12:13] <phr34ck> Stormx2, I was seeking something fast ;p
[12:13] <Stormx2> OrangeOrange: I think the command is gnome-gconf-editor or gconf-editor
[12:13] <AmaroqWolf> hmm
[12:13] <Pommie> Bogus8 : When you fire up fdisk on the drive, one of the menu of choices is 'v' to verify
[12:13] <OrangeOrange> EnsignRedshirt: Configuration editor
[12:14] <MKR> leobloo1, as long as the kde libraries are installed it'll work
[12:14] <OrangeOrange> o ok
[12:14] <EnsignRedshirt> leobloo1: Yes.  When you insall them, apt will also install the libraries that they need.
[12:14] <MKR> The biggest difference is what they use to manage windows
[12:14] <OrangeOrange> thanks
[12:14] <Pommie> Bogus8 : Note, I'm talking about the LINUX fdisk. :)
[12:14] <swarog> crimsun: http://pastebin.com/860079
[12:14] <Stormx2> phr34ck: If you find the command to do the equivilent of the network-admin thing, then stick it all in a script and load it on startup (System > Preferences > Sessions)
[12:14] <Bogus8> Pommie: I can't even open it in fdisk "unable to open" yet gnome part. editor sees it??
[12:14] <ActivE> I have a reb64 raid controller with a 3 disk raid 3 array. Im pretty sure it is found on /dev/hde. However when i try to mount /dev/hde1 it says it is not a directory?
[12:14] <ActivE> revo64*
[12:15] <Bogus8> Pommie: I don't need to acess a linux partition
[12:15] <boo1234567890> unknown interrupt or fault at eip (then 3 xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxx numbers)
[12:15] <MKR> Is it seeing an actual filesystem, or "free space"?
[12:15] <Pommie> Bogus8 : You're doing something like "fdisk /dev/hdb" (no partition number)?
[12:15] <leobloo1> so even if i install a game that is for kde it automatically download everything to run under gnome too?
[12:15] <theflyingfool> does anyone know why evolution would timeout, when trying to connect to download my email
[12:15] <tobyr> Hmmm XCFE looks nice and it runs fast too
[12:15] <tobyr> I just don't want to be screwing myself by running it
[12:15] <Bogus8> Pommie: correct... I'm very familiar with fdisk when it sees the drive ;)
[12:15] <ziggityzag> i need a link to a page that will give me a basic explanation of the folders in "file system" (a description of what is in each one)
[12:15] <Stormx2> tobyr: Remember, if you don't like what you pick, you can easily install GNOME or XFCE.
[12:16] <Alarm> hello when i try to start something as su get following; alarm@rockpc:/$ sudo updatedb
[12:16] <Alarm> sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Jan 16 17:02:11 2007
[12:16] <Alarm> why is that
[12:16] <corevette> when i do the command "fglrxinfo" for my ATI card, i get this Mesa stuff. any help?
[12:16] <hjmills> can i hard link folders so the contents of one appears inside the other?
[12:16] <Pommie> Bogus8 : Hrm... :)  Well, if fdisk isn't showing it, what do you see in your "dmesg" output that relates to the drives?
[12:16] <tobyr> I'm running Ubuntu and I got xfce-desktop (Something like that) through aptitude
[12:16] <Stormx2> hjmills: Yep. man ln
[12:16] <hjmills> Stormx2, and hard linking directories is totally safe
[12:16] <Flannel> Alarm: you chagned your clock recently (back in time), probably because of ntp.  sudo -k will fix it
[12:16] <Stormx2> hjmills: Yep.
[12:17] <AmaroqWolf> I'm trying to follow these directions to install a driver for my lexmark z611 printer, but one of the steps doesn't work. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/LexmarkZ605 When I try the tail part, I get bash: install.tar.gz: Permission denied
[12:17] <Bogus8> Pommie: dmesg sees the drive and sees it properly (20gigs blah blah blah)
[12:17] <hjmills> Stormx2, thanks :)
[12:17] <Pici> alarm, is your system time set to Jan 16th?
[12:17] <Stormx2> hjmills: Although I use soft links... But I never really understood the differences.
[12:17] <Flannel> Alarm: just, on it's own, 'sudo -k', then do your command again.  (-k resets the timestamp)  if that doesn't work, try -K instead
[12:17] <EnsignRedshirt> leobloo1: Yes.  I use gnome, and I regulary use KDE apps (e.g. k3b, kile)
[12:17] <swarog> crimsun: 00:1b.0
[12:17] <Stormx2> AmaroqWolf: Hmm. Did you download it as root?
[12:17] <EnsignRedshirt> *regularly
[12:17] <leobloo1> tobyr but the gnome stays installed doesn't it? so you don't really gain a lot in speed...
[12:18] <AmaroqWolf> I had to download it as root, with sudo
[12:18] <leobloo1> thanks ensign
[12:18] <Pommie> Bogus8 : Offhand, you got me. If dmesg shows it, and fdisk won't let you access it (what's the actual error?)...
[12:18] <AmaroqWolf> and unzip with sudo as well.
[12:18] <Stormx2> AmaroqWolf: Why? let me take a look at the page, one sec.
[12:18] <Alarm> i still get the same message
[12:18] <tobyr> It does stay installed
[12:18] <gimmulf> What kind of user do you guys recommend me to create on my server running dapper, at the moment i just have a root user. Dont know what group and stuff i shall add this new user to
[12:18] <tobyr> You just choose it at login
[12:18] <Flannel> gimmulf: er... root user? or just default user?
[12:18] <Bogus8> Pommie: when I do what, try to fdisk to it? it says unable to open
[12:18] <corevette> what should be the output of this: >sudo modprobe fglrx
[12:18] <I-04> has anyone else encountered this:  when single-click on an OGG file in nautilus, nautilus behaves weirdly. the file "jumps" to the end of the directory.
[12:19] <gimmulf> Flannel:  i just have a root user, need to add anotherone
[12:19] <Alarm> so sudo -k didnt change anything
[12:19] <AmaroqWolf> It says .sh is broken on newer systems. And I'm running dapper drake.
[12:19] <Pommie> Bogus8 : obvious question... you're running fdisk as superuser, right? ;)
[12:19] <hjmills> corevette, nothing if it works
[12:19] <Stormx2> AmaroqWolf: Wait, what command are you running?
[12:19] <leobloo1> when you isnter the passord you can also install what interface (sorry I dunno the English word for it) to choose from those installed?
[12:19] <Flannel> gimmulf: how on earth did you wind up with only root?
[12:19] <Bogus8> Pommie: correct
[12:19] <gimmulf> Flannel: i bought a vps server
[12:19] <corevette> hjmills...mine says Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/volatile/fglrx.ko': No such file or directory
[12:19] <AmaroqWolf> I'm trying tha tail one.
[12:19] <ziggityzag> i need a link to a page that will give me a basic explanation of the folders in "file system" (a description of what is in each one)
[12:19] <hjmills> corevette, oh did you use sudo?
[12:19] <corevette> yes
[12:19] <AmaroqWolf> Stormx2, I tried the tail command on that page.
[12:20] <Alarm> would a restart fix the problem /
[12:20] <Alarm> /
[12:20] <Stormx2> AmaroqWolf: Did you download the package as root? untar as root?
[12:20] <Flannel> gimmulf: well, the default ubuntu user (the one created with the install) is a member of their own group, and these: adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin
[12:20] <Pommie> Bogus8 : Sorry mang. I got nothin'.
[12:20] <Alarm> cause sudo -k or -K doesnt
[12:20] <Flannel> Alarm: really?  How far back did your ntp set the time?
[12:20] <pseudomorph> Just wondering if anyone can help me, whenever I use vi to edit a text file I can navigate around in command mode but as soon as I enter insert mode I cannot use the arrows, I end up with A's B's and C's instead.
[12:20] <gimmulf> Flannel: whats that group called?
[12:20] <boo1234567890> so, do I need to go to www.ubuntu.com/support?
[12:20] <OrangeOrange> where is the dir $datadir/
[12:20] <Flannel> gimmulf: which group?
[12:20] <Bogus8> Pommie: no prob... I'll keep looking
[12:21] <crimsun> swarog: sec, busy atm
[12:21] <Alarm> well it shows 16th january 1:21 , local athens time as much i see
[12:21] <AmaroqWolf> I believe so, Stormx2. I had to use sudo to download and unzip the tar
[12:21] <Stormx2> AmaroqWolf: Why?
[12:21] <Pommie> pseudomorph : What are you using as a terminal into Linux?
[12:21] <gimmulf> Flannel: what does the command look like for creating a normal server user which need access to setup apache for example
[12:21] <boo1234567890> stormx2, you see that the error is
[12:21] <ActivE> Does anyone know if the xfx revo 64 is compatable with ubuntu?
[12:21] <boo1234567890> unknown interrupt or fault at eip (then 3 xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxx numbers)
[12:22] <Alarm> on the calender it was showing 17th before, so i wanted to change it through the europe server. and after that i was getting that message. do i need to wait 1 day to run sudo again ?? :) eheh
[12:22] <gimmulf> gimmulf: i know that i need to use useradd but om not sure on the groups
[12:22] <Stormx2> boo1234567890: Bleh, no idea. Boot up the disk and go to "Check CD for defects"
[12:22] <corevette> how do i: #
[12:22] <corevette> Disable fglrx in /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common
[12:22] <pseudomorph> Pommie I'm using Gnome terminal 2.16
[12:22] <boo1234567890> same error
[12:22] <leobloo1> a question, I have an old laptop with no ethernet card so no internet, I want to make it run as smooth as possible, what should I install? DSL; Fluxubuntu (rather buggy) Ubuntu with xfce and few softwares or xfce? Or something else (Im waiting for ubuntulite but it can't be downloaded yet
[12:22] <AmaroqWolf> Stormx2, because I was following a different set of directions and downloaded it into the /usr/local/src directory and I can't write to it or anything without root.
[12:22] <EnsignRedshirt> I-04: I can recreate that.  It looks like when you single-click, Nautilus check something, and the file type changes from "Ogg Multimedia" to "Off Vorbis audio".  If you have Nautilus set to sort by "Type", the file moves in the list.
[12:22] <Flannel> Alarm: hardware time should always be set to GMT, by the way.  Um, a restart will fix it.
[12:22] <Stormx2> AmaroqWolf: In the manual, it says to download it off their site and run tar and tail as a user... with no sudo
[12:22] <AmaroqWolf> oh
[12:22] <Alarm> ok
[12:23] <EnsignRedshirt> *Ogg, not Off, of course.
[12:23] <Stormx2> AmaroqWolf: This guide, right? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/LexmarkZ605

[12:23] <Pommie> pseudomorph : You could be using a minimal version of vi, which (if I recall) doesn't have the full features of vi (and some of the keymapping).

[12:23] <Flannel> gimmulf: the users own group, and these: adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin are the default groups.
[12:23] <AmaroqWolf> Stormx2, I was using a different guide on the forums for installing lexmark printers.
[12:24] <Flannel> gimmulf: that's default group for the user created during install
[12:24] <gimmulf> Flannel: ahh so i dont need to specify any group when i create a normal user?
[12:24] <gimmulf> just useradd user  and then set a password?
[12:24] <leobloo1> no one can help me?
[12:24] <Flannel> gimmulf: er... yes, you need to specify all of those.  Except, probably not their own group, I believe that gets setup automatically
[12:24] <gnoodles> Hi everyone... I'm trying to get Ubuntu 6.1 installed, but it keeps crashing as soon as X launches. It sometimes makes it as far as the desktop showing up, but usually crashes shortly after the tan screen shows up. I've tried using text install, from the alternate CD which worked fine, but then the insatlled version crashes on startup. Kubuntu has the same problem. Any thoughts?
[12:24] <Pommie> pseudomorph : Install the full vim... apt-get install vim-full
[12:24] <EnsignRedshirt> I-04: If the files are sorted by Name, it won't jump when you single-click a file.
[12:25] <pseudomorph> Pommie it apprears that you might be correct a vi --version shows that I'm using a "small version" cheers mate

[12:31] <stefg> svfusion: so see what other driver options you have

[12:32] <gimmulf> Flannel:  just want it to get correct :)
[12:32] <svfusion> is there a differnce in fglrx and binary?
[12:32] <Pommie> mena: So the Linux machine can't see the Windows share?
[12:33] <Pommie> mena: Make sure that both the Linux and Windows machines are in the same workgroup, firstly
[12:33] <mena> Pommie, sorry my english is bad .....i mean that i am the linux and the one who i share the folder to him is windows machine and he cant see it
[12:34] <svfusion> fglrx and binary ATi drivers, are they differnt?
[12:34] <eviltux> :)
[12:34] <JosefK> they're the same
[12:34] <Flannel> gimmulf: no, you use -G to specify extra groups, -g specifies your initial group.    Read the man page ;)  your interpretation is as good as mine
[12:34] <gnoodles> That how-to tells me how to install the drivers from a wroking syustem... Is there a way to install them from the install CD? If not, how do I install them from the command prompt?

[12:38] <JosefK> durham university :/
[12:38] <whileimhere> Flannel how doyou do that?
[12:38] <Pommie> mena: You're going to have to create an account in samba for him to get access to the shares on your machine.
[12:38] <Pommie> mena: You can do this with the 'smbpasswd' command.
[12:38] <Flannel> whileimhere: Um, You... I'm not entirely sure.  Its just a disk property.

[12:58] <Enverex> Flannel, I tried "LeftOf" and "RightOf" but no change
[12:58] <nentis> I have quality issues with Dell.  Probably anecdotal, but there you go.
[12:58] <x34460> i did everything in the online guide and read theu other peoples probs but cant get around this.
[12:59] <h3xis> nentis, are you just asking about xserve in general?
[12:59] <h3xis> nentis, or do you have a specific model in mind?
[12:59] <nentis> looking now.
[12:59] <fluxd> Hi my windows is on a different partiton can someone tell me how to add that to grub file to boot into
[12:59] <nentis> it would be whatever is currently offered at the apple store.
[12:59] <h3xis> nentis, RAID or not?
[01:00] <prestocaso> anyone else have any luck with a gateway laptop as far as audio
[01:00] <nentis> software RAID5.
[01:00] <x34460> just installed ubuntu 6.10 and have mysql set for localhost connections only as this will not be a server. when i use phpmyadmin, i get #2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured). i tried to login as root - "blank" and then just the username - "blank", username - password" and other combos but i cant seem to communicate with mysql. none of the commands i found online seem to d
[01:00] <x34460> o anything either.
[01:00] <facugaich> x34460, How did you configure phpmyadmin?
[01:00] <fryfrog> is there an rc.local type file in ubuntu, that i can throw some commands in to run at boot?
[01:00] <x34460> when i open it, i cant login
[01:00] <fryfrog> oh, rc.local :p
[01:00] <x34460> phpmyadmin
[01:00] <mark_o> I am on knoppix right now. Grub tells me my boot partition is (hd0,5). The menu.lst in the /boot/grub directory of my ubuntu partition is wrong, it says (hd1,5). Unfortunately it's also read-only so reinstalling Grub in the MBR will just put the wrong menu in there. How do I put a custom menu in there?
[01:00] <Flannel> fluxd: which partition is windows on?  and can you pastebin your menu.lst?
[01:00] <stefg> !boot | fryfrog

[01:00] <fluxd> flannel ok
[01:00] <gma> fryfrog: cat /etc/rc.local
[01:00] <h3xis> nentis, how much are you willing to spend
[01:00] <kingace> what's the easiest 2d animation available for ubuntu?
[01:01] <gma> fryfrog: was it too hard to type ls? ;)
[01:01] <bobby> has anyone had any success getting tv-out working with an ATI card? I keep getting the message "no screens found" in the error log file
[01:01] <facugaich> x34460, Run 'mysql' in terminal... if it can connect it means phpmyadmin is misconfigured.
[01:01] <nentis> "two 64-bit Dual-Core Intel Xeon "Woodcrest"", according to their website.
[01:01] <Flannel> mark_o: edit the menu.lst
[01:01] <gma> fryfrog: sorry, just saw your second comment
[01:01] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: can you help me with that?
[01:01] <nentis> 4-6k
[01:01] <x34460> facugaich, i will do that right now.
[01:01] <om-> It looks like my samba service isn't running... how do I start it?
[01:01] <Alarm> what i cant understand is that atept_notifier tells me to upgrade software with the same version. for example: avahi-deamon 0.6.13 to upgrade to to 0.6.13  . canditate version 0.6.13 , installed version: 0.6.13 . that should happen right ?
[01:01] <fluxd> flannel can you tell me why when I am clicking on filesystem my home folder opens up 3 times?
[01:02] <facugaich> Alarm: Maybe it's a <really> minor update
[01:02] <familyfriendly> hello, my system crashes to gdm, Gnome failsafe works, but when i try to run glxgears it crashes to gdm as well, so me thinks video card drivers are to blame.  I am using latest 'nvidia' drivers.  best bet is to reinstall them?
[01:02] <fryfrog> My problem stems from the fact that the "sky2" driver for my network card seems to not work very well, but the propriatary driver "sk98lin" works great
[01:02] <Flannel> fluxd: no idea
[01:02] <lynucs> mark_o, edit the lines pressing "e" while you're in grub
[01:02] <Alarm> well if its an update should the version change ? all the packages that i see have the same canditate and installed version
[01:02] <Enverex> Flannel, ... any other ideas?
[01:02] <theflyingfool> does anyone know if gmail servers just had a glitch
[01:02] <familyfriendly> oh btw using feisty
[01:02] <Flannel> Enverex: nope
[01:02] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: that's pretty vague. Only the left?
[01:02] <mark_o> ok I'll try that out
[01:02] <aib> how can I tell what packages depend on a package already installed?
[01:03] <mark_o> thanks lynucs
[01:03] <Flannel> familyfriendly: #ubuntu+1 for feisty support
[01:03] <fryfrog> I put "blacklist sky2" in the /etc/modules.d/blacklist but it still gets loaded
[01:03] <nentis> looks like my ideal config is coming out to $7200
[01:03] <lynucs> mark_o, but in the next reboot changes will be lost
[01:03] <Juice^> theflyingfool: gmail seemed slow a few hours ago
[01:03] <h3xis> nentis, what kind of server is it?
[01:03] <unop> aib, apt-cache show packagename
[01:03] <Flannel> aib: why do you need to know?
[01:03] <theflyingfool> thanks juice^
[01:03] <unop> aib, err sorry -- apt-cache rdepensd packagename
[01:03] <x34460> facugaich, i tried to run from term and it says command not found. but i am sure i installed everything according to the guide, tho.
[01:03] <aib> i'm creating some custom debug .debs and I need to temporarily uninstall Coin3D
[01:03] <EnsignRedshirt> Alarm: Is the program "clipping" the package names, so you can't see the full names?
[01:03] <aib> just want to know what i'm breaking
[01:04] <unop> s/rdepensd/rdepends/
[01:04] <aib> unop, thanks
[01:04] <nentis> h3xis,  this is a spec'd xServe.  I'm just curious if it is even possible to run 6.06 on an x86 xServe.
[01:04] <chivosolar> so I have this external usb drive that has been set to 2 - 120 gig partitions but is unformatted. I want to format from ubuntu so that the drives can also be ready by windoz OS. how can I do that ?
[01:04] <Alarm> no, it shows the full names
[01:04] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: yes... it's quite weird, I had this issue before, and then no audio, since the native alsa drivers in ubuntu did not support the hda modules, you told me, so I compiled 0.1.13 like you said, and I have the crackling issue again, and my volume is always muted when I boot up my computer'
[01:04] <facugaich> x34460, What version of ubuntu and mysql do you have?
[01:04] <Alarm> not a big deal . i will make the updates. software surely knows more than me at that point :)
[01:04] <x34460> facugaich, if i try to reinstall, it says i have the version is already installed.
[01:04] <h3xis> nentis, i'm sure it is, but i just don't see the point of wiping osx
[01:04] <Enverex> I'm trying to use 2 screens with TwinView, problem is they seem to be the wrong way around, the main one is the secondary and the secondary is the main one. Any ideas?
[01:04] <marshall> hey guys
[01:05] <marshall> does anybody know how to view all packages on a repo with apt?
[01:05] <aib> enverex, that's in your xorg.conf
[01:05] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: then use 1.0.14rc1
[01:05] <x34460> facugaich, 6.10 edgy and 4 for mysql to match the php version, according to the instructions in the guide.
[01:05] <Flannel> marshall: er... why do you want to do that?
[01:05] <aib> enverex, read the nvidia README file for the xorg.conf options
[01:05] <unop> marshall, yea, why do something like that?
[01:05] <nentis> h3xis,  because OSX is not a supported OS for our production environment, it is not free(cost), and it is not truely free(freedom)
[01:05] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: ummm... ok
[01:05] <om-> Can someone help me please? After restarting, my windows shared folder is no longer accessable... I'm sharing it over a network
[01:05] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: how stable is it?
[01:05] <om-> Er home network
[01:05] <nentis> just curious about the hardware.
[01:05] <gnoodles> Ok, I tried 'apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` nvidia-glx-config enable' but I got an error 'package nvidia-glx-enable not found'. I didn't use sudo, since I was trying to do this from the recover screen.
[01:06] <marshall> Flannel, i added a repo that has deluge and deluge related packages, i want to see from the command line what other packages it has
[01:06] <Enverex> aib, Which README? heh. I've tried every option I could find on different guides :/
[01:06] <lynucs> om-, you shared it via smb under ubuntu?
[01:06] <gaiman> hi. im gay.
[01:06] <marshall> lol gaiman
[01:06] <pianoboy3333> marshall: well.. the cheating way is w3m <repositoryurl>
[01:06] <Flannel> marshall: apt-cache dump will do it.
[01:07] <facugaich> x34460, Why aren't you using PHP/Mysql 5?
[01:07] <h3xis> nentis, in that case, then don't get an xserve because youre wasting your money. youre going to be buying a license for something youre not even going to use. i'd say to go with IBM as slow as they are
[01:07] <aib> Enverex, use man xorg.conf
[01:07] <om-> No, shared it on windows... but I could access it fine on ubuntu using samba before restarting, now its mysteriously gone
[01:07] <corevette> can anyone help me really quick with my ATI card?
[01:07] <arrenlex> !ask | corevette
[01:07] <aib> Enverex then type `/RightOf' and push enter
[01:07] <ubotu> corevette: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:07] <marshall> pianoboy3333, ok, thanks. i guess apt doesnt have any command for viewing all the packages in a specific repo?
[01:07] <pianoboy3333> marshall: Flannel gave you an alternate option
[01:07] <corevette> here's my problem with my ati card: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2018416#post2018416
[01:07] <lynucs> om- did you try to mount it properly?
[01:07] <Flannel> gnoodles: the enable command is a command, not a package
[01:08] <nentis> ok.  I guess OSX costs are build into the product, and can't be decoupled.  I already have some nice specs on an x-series IBM and a Sun x4100.. so I'll be patient.
[01:08] <Flannel> gnoodles: that is, nvidia-glx-config enable.
[01:08] <arrenlex> corevette: Please pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:08] <marshall> Flannel, ok. but wont apt-cache dump show me every package in all my repos?
[01:08] <h3xis> nentis, SPARC <3
[01:08] <Flannel> marshall: correct
[01:08] <x34460> facugaich, i know version 4 worked with no problems before, with the stuff i used it for.  is there a way to uninstall version 4 and go to 5, or update?
[01:08] <EnsignRedshirt> marshall: An "ugly" way is to use a web browser: go to the archive, and look for the packages files (something like packages.gz)
[01:08] <Dalebuntu> I want to edit the menu.lst file for Grub, but when I save it I guess I don't have rights. I'm newer to Linux, so how do I save the edited file?
[01:08] <Enverex> aib, I've already set up the "RightOf" things, as I said it doesn't change anything
[01:08] <gaiman> i like sucking guys' cock
[01:08] <pianoboy3333> I have a question... do you need the WHOLE source directory to `make remove` or `make uninstall` something?
[01:08] <marshall> EnsignRedshirt, ok, what do i do with that packages.gz?
[01:08] <nentis> h3xis,  if vmware-server ran under ubuntu/sparc, I would be all over the multi-core T1. :)
[01:08] <arrenlex> corevette: also the output of "lspci | grep -i display"
[01:08] <bcardarella> What's the best way to find and install perl modules in Ubuntu?
[01:09] <om-> lynucs: Yesterday I was mounting and unmounting it...  Mez, LjL, elkbuntu, imbrandon, DBO, gnomefreak, Hobbsee, rob, ompaul, Madpilot, Burgundavia, Seveas, CarlK, crimsun, ajmitch, tritium, Nalioth, thoreauputic, apokryphos or tonyyarusso
[01:09] <Flannel> marshall: read it.  it
[01:09] <gnoodles> Ah, got it apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` [return]  nvidia-glx-config enable [return] , right?
[01:09] <unop> marshall, zcat it .. pipe to grep
[01:09] <aib> Enverex, you must be doing it wrong. I use those options all the time. Try this Google search: inurl:xorg filetype:conf RightOf
[01:09] <Egonis> How do I change the colour depth from GNOME?
[01:09] <Flannel> marshall: it's a gz (which most browsers will automatically unzip and display) and it contains all the packages
[01:09] <marshall> ok
[01:09] <marshall> thanks guys
[01:09] <EnsignRedshirt> marshall: It is a compressed text file; you can read it.  (I did say it was an "ugly" way...)
[01:09] <Seveas> arrenlex, nice way of caling !ops
[01:09] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: ok, I downloaded and untarred alsa-driver-1.0.14rc1, what should I run?
[01:09] <corevette> arrenlex, my xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1763/
[01:09] <lynucs> om- then try to mount it via terminal :)
[01:10] <h3xis> nentis, i'm not too familiar with ubuntu running as a server OS but do you have to pay for support?
[01:10] <facugaich> x34460, Yeah, if you used a package manager you can uninstall mysql-server-4.1 and install mysql-server-5.0 But I don't guarantee that will solve your problem, I was just wondering
[01:10] <cj_> hi, if i want to install bare bones gnom, what should i apt-get?
[01:10] <cj_> *gnome
[01:10] <Flannel> h3xis: you can pay for commercial support, you don't have to. no
[01:10] <Borzen_> hay i am useing a Logitech G5 and G15 but they do not work when Ubuntu boots
[01:10] <om-> lynucs: I did, using smbmount and smbumount
[01:10] <marshall> EnsignRedshirt, thanks, this will do nicely
[01:10] <ciscosurfer> hola people!

[01:10] <lynucs> no not smbmount
[01:10] <om-> lynucs: The address I used yesterday to smbmount no longer works
[01:10] <Flannel> timo901: #ubuntu-xgl for beryl support
[01:10] <nentis> h3xis,  what kind of support?  Updates and such?  no.  Problems with configuration and management?  Yes, but you can get that from a multitude of Ubuntu partners and consulting firms.. like mine. :)  http://www.opensourcery.com/
[01:11] <arrenlex> corevette: How about /var/log/xorg.0.log, please?
[01:11] <facugaich> x34460, I have mysql 5 so maybe the 'mysql' command ain't avaliable in mysql4, try 'mysql-client'
[01:11] <lynucs> ok, do you know the ip of the other pc
[01:11] <Enverex> aib, I'm not seeing anything new
[01:11] <cj_> apt-get install gnome  doesnt work :(

[01:11] <lynucs> om-, ok, do you know the ip of the other pc
[01:11] <timo901> Flannel:thx
[01:11] <h3xis> nentis, yeah i meant problems and config
[01:11] <knoppix> heelo
[01:11] <om-> lynucs: Would it be the same as this one? They're all on a home network
[01:11] <HighLife> Is there a media player that will play and manage both video and music?
[01:11] <aib> Enverex, I doubt anyone will be able to help you then. The Google search returns thousands of example uses
[01:11] <Borzen_> Hay my keybord and mouse wont work in ubuntu help
[01:11] <aib> *hundreds
[01:11] <corevette> theres nothing in there arrenlex
[01:11] <snooplsm> sudo apt-get install j<tab> doesn't display anything,   What file contains the information for the package servers?
[01:11] <nentis> h3xis,  but you also have the community, such as this fine IRC channel and forums.  Not garunteed solutions though to production issues.
[01:11] <lynucs> om- no it wouldn't if you have a router
[01:12] <Enverex> aib, Actually they seem to be very similar but showing me random configs doesn't help much
[01:12] <Flannel> fluxd: and, what am I looking at?  you ahd issues with windows? or what?
[01:12] <h3xis> nentis, just curious, why not redhat, novell, or oracle?
[01:12] <cj_> hi, if i want to install bare bones gnome, what should i apt-get?

[01:12] <corevette> thank you juano__ i've been there
[01:12] <nentis> h3xis,  because you won't get support for Ubuntu from any of those vendors.  RedHat support RHEL.. Novell SLES, and Oracle RHEL.

[01:13] <juano__> corevette: ok :)

[01:13] <HighLife> Is there a media player that will play and manage both video and music?
[01:13] <h3xis> nentis, i mean the distribution :P
[01:13] <unop> Dalebuntu, if you can't save changes, you probably didnt invoke the editor as superuser -- gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:13] <lynucs> fine, then type in windows cmd "ipconfig /all"
[01:13] <EnsignRedshirt> dan__: install the package openssh-server
[01:13] <fluxd> highlife songird?
[01:13] <juano__> !grub
[01:13] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[01:13] <Flannel> fluxd: that... shouldn't display as unknown.  And, windows shouldve been seen by grub in the first place.  odd.
[01:13] <Borzen_> I need help in ubuntu with my keybord and mouse Help PLZ
[01:13] <corevette> arrenlex: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1764/
[01:13] <HighLife> fluxd that is only for music
[01:13] <nentis> h3xis,  :)  I'll leave the distro wars for another time.  Gotta get back to work.
[01:14] <gimmulf> Is the adm group same as admin?
[01:14] <lynucs> om- thats where you will see your ip
[01:14] <fluxd> flannel I know but I think windows was installed on a an extended hd somehow
[01:14] <h3xis> nentis, no no i'm just curious. no wars or anything
[01:14] <unop> gimmulf, errm no
[01:14] <lynucs> om- probably like <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:14] <Dalebuntu> I'll try that and see if I can 'get ur done' Thanks, unop!
[01:14] <Borzen_> Anybody Know why my keybord and mouse wont work in ubuntu
[01:14] <om-> lynucs: Ok found the ip
[01:14] <h3xis> nentis, ive never known anyone to run ubuntu as a server OS
[01:14] <gimmulf> unop: just got a vps with dapper and ssh access, trying to add a user but have no admin or wheel group
[01:14] <Flannel> h3xis, nentis, I do.  right now, even.
[01:14] <arrenlex> corevette: Dapper or edgy?
[01:14] <HighLife> Well is there anyone who knows of a program that will organize video files?
[01:14] <rnd_null> Borzen, how are you typing?
[01:14] <h3xis> Flannel, cool.
[01:15] <Borzen_> With my keybord and mouse in XP
[01:15] <rnd_null> borzen, o
[01:15] <nentis> h3xis,  mainly we use Ubuntu beacause of the product quality, which is high, and have version for both desktops and servers.. not to mention the 64-bit varients.
[01:15] <Borzen_> They dont work onaly one ubuntu boots
[01:15] <Borzen_> once
[01:15] <h3xis> nentis, alright. i see
[01:15] <rnd_null> borzen, what kind of keyboard / mouse do you have?
[01:15] <fluxd> flannel u know how I can add windows to grub list?
[01:15] <unop> gimmulf, vps? whats that?  .. and if you are trying to create a user, why can't you use sudo?
[01:15] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: what flags should I give configure, and how else should I build it
[01:15] <nentis> h3xis,  I also believe in Canonical's business ethics more than I do Novell or Oracle... especially given Novell's recent MS agreement.
[01:15] <Borzen_> Logitech G15 and G5, keybord and mouse
[01:16] <rnd_null> borzen, wired or wireless?
[01:16] <Pie-rate> there's a dpkg-reconfigure command that reconfigures the kernel, right? what is it?
[01:16] <lynucs> om- then type in linux terminal "smbclient -N -L <yourIPofWindowsPC> without <>
[01:16] <Flannel> fluxd: yeah.  but, I'm not sure it'll boot.  but we can see.
[01:16] <Borzen_> Wired
[01:16] <lotacus> anyone know of a game comparable in game-play and graphics to that of chromium BSU?
[01:16] <nentis> with Ubuntu, I will also have access to all the source, much like Debian, which it is based on.
[01:16] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: I've been over this a half-dozen times, and I'm very busy atm.
[01:16] <x34460> got disconnected.
[01:16] <pianoboy3333> ok...
[01:16] <rnd_null> borzen, are they "regular" or "special"
[01:16] <nentis> I've been using Debian since 1997
[01:16] <juano__> fluxd: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:16] <nentis> Ubuntu provides the much needed marketing material, and support infrastructure to get Debian into the enterprise.
[01:16] <h3xis> nentis, i run debian as my primary desktop, but slackware on my servers
[01:17] <Borzen_> Well they worked the last time i used ubuntu but they are "spical" but they need soft ware to use those spical stuff
[01:17] <arrenlex> corevette: Dapper or edgy?
[01:17] <fluxd> juano__ I know that I am trying to add windows to boot list
[01:17] <lynucs> om-, like "smbclient -N -L <IP_ADDRESS>"
[01:17] <nentis> h3xis,  and that's fine too.  GNU/Linux is all about choice.  Unified desktop/server environments allows us better quality control.
[01:17] <nentis> though I admit we have sarge and etch in the mix.
[01:17] <om-> lynucs: yeah it gave me a long readout of domain name, operating system etc
[01:17] <rnd_null> borzen, did you update anything the last time you used it?
[01:17] <corevette> arrenlex edgy
[01:17] <Flannel> fluxd: I'm adding what... I think may work for you.  http://pastebin.com/860125  the stuff is at the bottom (where you need to put it, after the end of the automagical kernel stuff)
[01:17] <Dalebuntu> unop, that worked for my menu.lst file. Thanx, again!
[01:17] <lynucs> om-, nice
[01:17] <juano__> fluxd: if your win partition is /dev/hda1 for example , you would have to add title  windows | root  (hd0,0)  | chainloader   +1 ///  each | is a separate line
[01:18] <nentis> Slackware will at least get you some l33t creds. <g>  I think I ran slackware back in.. oh 1995
[01:18] <Borzen_> No i am still useing the live CD i need a new HDD for ubuntu to install
[01:18] <om-> lynucs: this doesn't look good: session request to <IP_ADDRESS> failed (Called name not present)
[01:18] <om-> session request to 192 failed (Called name not present)
[01:18] <juano__> fluxd: that would be at the end of the file
[01:18] <facugaich> x3460, did you read what I said about trying 'mysql-client'?
[01:18] <h3xis> nentis, it's really only because i have cheap ass HP servers that have faulty hardware and so debian's power management daemon hangs causing the the cpu to jump 100%
[01:18] <unop> Dalebuntu, no problem .. remember that you need to 'sudo' things that affect the system as a whole
[01:18] <rnd_null> borzen, try them with knoppix and dsl, as they are both debian based, it might be the kernel ver
[01:18] <gimmulf> unop:  ive added the user to sudo, but when i run sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list with my user nothing happens. have to be root to read that file it seems like
[01:18] <facugaich> x34460
[01:18] <esaym> who do I get sshd to restart? or atleast re-read the config files
[01:18] <dilucidate> I'm having a problem with my card reader under Edgy.  The reader worked fine in Dapper but no longer works with Edgy.  The card reader is a Linkskey...  Anyone have any ideas?
[01:18] <lynucs> om- , that is bad... you sure the connection of both pcs is okay
[01:19] <Flannel> gimmulf: no, sudo does that for you.  you need to be a member of the admin group
[01:19] <nentis> h3xis,  kill the power management dameon, and `chmod -x /etc/init.d/<x>` to keep it from coming back.  Don't need hibernate capabilities on a server. :)
[01:19] <om-> lynucs: They both connect to the internet fine
[01:19] <gimmulf> Flannel: but i have no admin group
[01:19] <rnd_null> borzen, what ver of the ubuntu live cd are you using?
[01:19] <x34460> facugaich, yes?
[01:19] <lynucs> try ping that ip
[01:19] <Borzen_> ok but i think the probalm was with my Mo bo cuz when i use XP it was Fing messed up
[01:19] <lynucs> om- type ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:19] <Borzen_> But i fix that
[01:19] <facugaich> x34460, did you try 'mysql-client'?
[01:19] <om-> lynucs: I just wonder what changed when I restarted them, because yesterday I could access it fine
[01:20] <Flannel> esaym: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh reload
[01:20] <corevette> arrenlex.....have any idea why?
[01:20] <lynucs> om- type ping <IP_ADDRESS> i mean
[01:20] <Flannel> gimmulf: er... what?
[01:20] <corevette> i have to leave in a few seocnds arrenlex
[01:20] <unop> gimmulf, you can do two things -- add a user to the /etc/sudoers file (man sudoers) .. or create and add a user group (like 'admin') to the /etc/sudoers file so that all you have to do the next time you create a user is add him to that group
[01:20] <snooplsm> how do I run synaptec package manager?
[01:20] <om-> lynucs: It's pinging it fine
[01:20] <esaym> ok thanks you!
[01:20] <arrenlex> corevette: The problems start at line 777. I'm googling for your error thinking what you could try.
[01:20] <corevette> snooplsm system>admin>synaptic
[01:20] <Flannel> gimmulf: are you sure you're running ubuntu? and it was completely installed? (groups and stuff are created at the end, it's not uncommon for botched installs to look normal, but not really be complete)
[01:20] <juano__> fluxd: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1765/ try that
[01:21] <lynucs> om- then try following: create a mount directory
[01:21] <x34460> facugaich, i went back and looked in synaptic and according to it, mysql-client is not installed. thats probably the issue so i am installing that right now.
[01:21] <facugaich> x34460, ok
[01:21] <rnd_null> PMOUNT <---- I need help with it, it's mounting all my SD cards RO and I can't change it
[01:21] <gimmulf> Flannel: hmm well i think sio, how do i find out?
[01:21] <arrenlex> corevette: I'm thinking maybe the driver isn't able to use the internal GART, so using the kernel's might solve your problem, and I'm trying to find out how to do that. Then again, it might not.
[01:21] <unop> x34460, just a question -- do you have the php-mysql module installed?
[01:21] <Alarm> how can i see number of open connections on linux ?
[01:21] <om-> lynucs: like /mnt/smb?
[01:21] <Flannel> gimmulf: lsb_release -a will tell you what its running
[01:21] <unop> Alarm, network connections?

[01:22] <corevette> arrenlex...if you find a possible solution...can you leave me a reply on ubuntu forums? or is that too much to ask

[01:29] <x34460> facugaich, ok. thanks.
[01:29] <om-> lynucs: If I left it mounted permanently

[01:30] <jonlovesubu> Please Somebody help i want to listen to some music but all of the sounds are way to fast
[01:30] <unop> bradley, which usually is /home
[01:30] <om-> lynucs: Rather than mounting it only for the backup and then unmounting
[01:30] <Alarm> EnsignRedshirt,  thats something closer to what i want. it just shows mostly reset connections but not current open connections
[01:30] <lynucs> when you reboot the folder won't be mounted anymore

[01:31] <bradley> unop, i think that the drive is hda1 (or something). i will double check with gparted.
[01:31] <arrenlex> bradley: FYI if you just messed up a config somewhere, it's quite easy to simply reinstall all currently installed packages in place.
[01:31] <unop> Alarm, what are you running there? a mini-ISP or somink?
[01:31] <DARKGuy> Again, sorry... anybody knows how to activate the mouse in links2 when using svgalib? :(

[01:34] <justinmaccarthy_> Ubuntu 6.10 lockupd - what do you do??
[01:34] <justinmaccarthy_> Ok, I'm a relative newbie to Gnome.  I'm using Ubuntu and suddenly I can't type in my browser. I shut it down, and try to restart it, but the when I click the Icon, I just get the spinning mouse icon, which stops without opening the application. I try to open the System log from the Menu,  I just get the spinning mouse icon, and then nothing. I try to shut down the using the Icon. Nothing. Ctrl-alt-backspace.  Nothing.  Ctrl-alt-delete. Nothing.
[01:34] <justinmaccarthy_> The menus respond so the machine is not completly locked up
[01:34] <justinmaccarthy_> So what should I do? How can I diagnose the issues?
[01:34] <arrenlex> Davitrola: Oh. What I suggested won't remove packages from other repositories, only downgrade all packages which it can downgrade to edgy.
[01:35] <lynucs> jonlovesubu, maybe a slower cpu might help?? just kidding
[01:35] <johny5> can anyone help me with receiving a skypecast?
[01:35] <arrenlex> justinmaccarthy_: Try starting it from a terminal and tell us if it gives an error.
[01:35] <jonlovesubu> lynucs: lol
[01:35] <lynucs> jonlovesubu, how is about other sounds

[01:35] <justinmaccarthy_> arrenlex: I can't start terminal
[01:35] <unop> bradley, i'm not too good with gparted .. but what i am getting at is .. that you should know _for sure_ which partition houses your homedir .. and it's relatively easy to figure that out from /etc/fstab
[01:35] <jonlovesubu> everything
[01:36] <lynucs> jonlovesubu, using alsa? any changes before that happened?
[01:36] <unop> bradley, that's if you dedicated a seperate partition for /home
[01:36] <Enverex> How do you get Gnome to start with a clean session when you log in? i.e. NOT open 5 million programs?
[01:36] <Flannel> jonlovesubu: try updating to most recent everything, kernel, etc.  it seems to have fixed the problem for some other people
[01:36] <jonlovesubu> No its done that since the begining i just installed ubuntu not to long ago like 2 hrs ago
[01:36] <zYe> can anyone explain this to me? "`cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
[01:36] <zYe>      `./configure' to configure the package for your system.  If you're
[01:36] <zYe>      using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
[01:36] <zYe>      `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
[01:36] <zYe>      `configure' itself."
[01:36] <Davitrola> arrenlex: so i should create the preferences file? and then erase it afterwards?
[01:36] <chaelot|home> i'll try again in a different fashion - i accidentally hit "Remove from panel" on my systray monitor, how can i restore it to show running applications again ?
[01:36] <arrenlex> Davitrola: Yes, create it. /etc/apt/preferences
[01:37] <unop> !paste > zYe
[01:37] <Flannel> chaelot|home: right click the panel, "add to panel" then add it
[01:37] <jonlovesubu> Ok i will do the updates
[01:37] <arrenlex> Davitrola: If you erase it upwards, it will try to upgrade them all as much as possible again on the next upgrade. If you want to erase it and keep edgy, I suggest you remove the extra repositories.
[01:37] <lynucs> Enverex, somewhere in "session" ii think is soemthink like "save session" or familar
[01:37] <fluxd> flannel I got an error 12
[01:37] <lynucs> Enverex, just uncheck
[01:37] <chaelot|home> Flannel: what is it called in the "Add to panel" menu ? there is no item there called "Systray" or alike
[01:37] <EnsignRedshirt> zYe: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware
[01:38] <Flannel> chaelot|home: I'm not entirely sure.  I don't use gnome.
[01:38] <zYe> thx
[01:38] <unop> zYe, it's just a warning to make sure that csh doesn't execute the file instead of bash (which happens if csh is your default shell) .. on debian/ubuntu you should use bash instead (as the default shell can be dash) -- so use bash ./configure
[01:38] <justinmaccarthy_> arrenlex:  any other idea?
[01:38] <arrenlex> justinmaccarthy_: I don't use gnome, sorry.
[01:38] <chaelot|home> Flannel: ah, ok - thank you anyway - it's quite annoying to have Amarok running minimized to systray without being able to restore it etc :(
[01:39] <Flannel> chaelot|home: well, try different things.    What's odd in your case is gparted looked like it thought hda5 was inside hda1, which.. .well, is confusing at best.  You should try tweaking the partition ((e) to edit a grub item from the grub menu)
[01:39] <Popo1> hey? anyone know if is there IceWM on Spanish? or that Windows Manager is only avalible on english?
[01:40] <gnome_noob> can anyone help solve why my Gnome only sometimes loads on my laptop?
[01:40] <mvfeinstein> Can anyone here help me with a samba configuration, I am trying to set up a share that is only accessible by one user but every time I try to connect to it from my apple laptop i get an error. I know the server is fine because I have a open share that I can connect to with no problems
[01:40] <bradley> unop, i haven't created a partition for home, should i do that?  i pasted the fstab, here it is: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1768/
[01:40] <arrenlex> Davitrola: Did you paste all three lines?
[01:41] <gnome_noob> can someonep lease save me from having to re-install winblows?
[01:41] <arrenlex> !ask | gnome_noob
[01:41] <ubotu> gnome_noob: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:41] <unop> bradley, it seems like you only have one single partition (apart from swap) .. so whatever you do, don't format anything
[01:42] <dan__> woot, i submitted the top story on digg.com right now
[01:42] <Davitrola> arrenlex: ok, i just had to remove the space before each line
[01:42] <chaelot|home> if anyone is running gnome here and knows how to restore a deleted systray icon from a panel, please let me know how :)
[01:42] <gnome_noob> strange problem sometimes when I start my computer  when it starts and goes into Gnome, it just gets stuck
[01:42] <unop> bradley, and no, you dont have to have a seperate partition for /home .. although it helps in situations like this when you can keep your private data safe and wipe out other partitions
[01:43] <gma> gnome_noob: what's on screen when it's stuck. try and be more descriptive...
[01:43] <gnome_noob> sometimes some of panels load (but they don't work) sometimes nothing but the background loads
[01:43] <hendrickvp> I'm having a lot of problems gettting the php5-imagick package...any ideas/
[01:43] <bradley> unop, from my gparted it seems as though i should split up the hda1 into two parts then i will move my home folder over to it.  the other partitions (which i thought might be system stuff is actually linux-swap
[01:43] <gma> gnome_noob: how long have you left it alone for before concluding it's stopped? (in minutes)
[01:44] <gnome_noob> the strange part...it's totally intermittent
[01:44] <lotacus> is it notification area?
[01:44] <gma> is it cheese?
[01:44] <gnome_noob> usually I leave it for a couple of minutes
[01:44] <comradevik> how do i add another hard drive to the system
[01:44] <gma> gnome_noob: my dad's gnome used to hang during login for several minutes
[01:45] <gma> gma: was never sure what was causing it
[01:45] <bradley> unop, i guess the task now it to open up enough space to move my home folder over.  Should i split the drive in half, how much does the OS need?
[01:45] <Flannel> hendrickvp: I believe there's only php4 IM in the repositories
[01:45] <Davitrola> arrenlex: i'm having trouble updating a wpasupplicant package. it gives me a post-removal script error 10. do you know what it means?
[01:45] <lotacus> yea your "systray" is called notification panel
[01:45] <gnome_noob> is there anything i can do about it?
[01:45] <unop> bradley, yea, if you can successfully use gparted -- do just that -- but try and make a backup of your homedir first
[01:45] <Evil[BOT] > DCC SEND lkajsdflasidfjlasidjflasdifjejejeiidjakjdflakjsdfliajefei
[01:45] <gma> gnome_noob: have you modified your panels or your session settings at all?
[01:45] <chaelot|home> lotacus: thank you very very much :) much appreciated :)
[01:45] <hendrickvp> Flannel: would you know why it can not find php4-imagick either
[01:45] <lotacus> your welcome
[01:46] <gnome_noob> i thought i might have done something so I just reinstalled Ubuntu, but the first time loading it up after the updates it did the same thing
[01:46] <Flannel> hendrickvp: it's in universe, so unless you have universe enabled
[01:46] <arrenlex> Davitrola: Yes and no. Yes: it means that the wpasupplicant package included a script which was supposed to run on package removal, but that script has an error and cannot be run, so apt is refusing to remove the package. No: I don't know what's wrong with wpasupplicant or why it's broken.
[01:46] <gnome_noob> it tries to load and then hangs
[01:46] <bradley> unop, could i just copy my home to a usb drive then copy it back?
[01:46] <gma> gnome_noob: oh dear
[01:46] <unop> bradley, i've known for a complete ubuntu install to run under 4gigs -- but thats being over-conservative -- 20gigs sounds good -- but again, it's the size of your homedir that matters because thats where the disk usage is likely to be high
[01:46] <gma> gnome_noob: that's very weird
[01:46] <hendrickvp> Flannel: I'm a newb, how would I know?
[01:47] <unop> bradley, sure, if all your stuff can fit on a pendrive --
[01:47] <theflyingfool> i cant log in, after i enter my login info, it doesnt bring up that thing in the middle showing it loading things like nautilis
[01:47] <gnome_noob> you're telling me.I've tried posting to ubuntuforums.org and had no respsonse
[01:47] <Flannel> hendrickvp: if you haven't added any repositories (modified your /etc/apt/sources.list) then you havent.
[01:47] <Flannel> !universe | hendrickvp
[01:47] <ubotu> hendrickvp: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[01:47] <xipietotec> where do I unpack skins for mplayer to?
[01:47] <theflyingfool> then after about 20 secons a little white box pops up in the uper left corner of the screen
[01:47] <gma> gnome_noob: sorry, don't know
[01:47] <mvfeinstein> I am trying to set up a samba share using my built in account but when I try to log into my share I get an error that the user name or password is wrong can anyone here help me fix this
[01:48] <hendrickvp> k tnx
[01:48] <gnome_noob> is there a good alternative to gnome?
[01:48] <arrenlex> gnome_noob: kde
[01:48] <lotacus> guys
[01:48] <frederific> mvfeinstein: I think you need to add a samba password to your user account. Run "smbpasswd" in a terminal
[01:48] <xipietotec> gnome_noob: kde, xcfe, e17, fvwm, fluxbox, umm....
[01:48] <lotacus> how ya'll doin
[01:48] <autark> When I boot into Ubuntu, I have to run /etc/init.d/networking restart manually to get the network to work. I didn't have to do this before I added some wireless info the eth1. Anyone know where I can start looking to fix this?
[01:48] <bradley> unop, if i reserved 10 gigs for the os it would be somewhere between conservative and superfluous? (and therefore probably okay)
[01:48] <unop> mvfeinstein, have you mapped system users to samba users?
[01:48] <juano> gnome_noob: KDE
[01:48] <gnome_noob> for a first time Linux user what should i be running
[01:49] <mvfeinstein> unop how do I do that?
[01:49] <black_13> i have followed the instructions to install the ati drivers for ubuntu how do i test that i have actually improved performace
[01:49] <Flannel> gnome_noob: theyre both fine
[01:49] <mark_o> Question: I have a HD with /home in its own partition. I've just installed a new HD and would like to put a new copy of ubuntu on that. Can I copy over /home onto the new HD? How about just the /mark directory (my user directory)?
[01:49] <arrenlex> gnome_noob: Gnome and KDE are comparable. Both are stable, easy, comprehensive, and pretty good for new users.
[01:49] <xipietotec> gnome_noob: I reccomend gnome actually for first time users, but some strange people like KDE too
[01:49] <frederific> gnome_noob: up to you. Some prefer GNOME, some KDE
[01:49] <bradley> unop, will i have to reinstall nvidia and restricted formats?
[01:49] <juano> gnome_noob: it doesnt really matter, gnome or KDE it just changes your desktop media and look
[01:49] <xipietotec> =P
[01:49] <unop> bradley, it depends on how much software you are likely to install -- or sometimes in the case of content server (mail, news, web) the /var dir can grow to be massive
[01:50] <lotacus> ?? I dont know which it was, either the live CD or my first installation, however, Ubuntu had automounted my NTFS partitions which were listed in the filebrowser (but not mounted on the desktop), I don't think it has done this upon a reinstallation. How can I verify this?
[01:50] <Flannel> mark_o: you don't even need to copy your /home directory.  You can use both harddrives, with /home being on one, and th rest of the os on the other
[01:50] <unop> mvfeinstein, please check the sama-howto on samba.org
[01:50] <drekon> black_13: glxgears -printfps
[01:50] <mark_o> I'd like to get rid of the original HD
[01:50] <gnome_noob> well gnome is doing strange things on my laptop so I guess i should try KDE. whats the best way to switch from gnome to kde?
[01:50] <juano> gnome_noob: there is also Xfce, which is for more slower systems, it has less media and stuff
[01:50] <unop> bradley, well, if all you are doing is resizing partitions,  you shouldnt need to install/reinstall anything
[01:50] <theflyingfool> i have a wierd problem and im not sure what it is, or how to fix it... i cant log in but my login screen is still graphical
[01:50] <xipietotec> gnome_noob: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[01:50] <mark_o> and use Edgy on the new HD, while Dapper was on the old one
[01:51] <unop> bradley, were you aiming for a fresh install? is an upgrade out of the question?
[01:51] <Flannel> mark_o: er.. you don't need to get rid of the old one.  but eyah, if you're just swpaping HDs, you can just copy your home dirs
[01:51] <arrenlex> black_13: What's the output of "glxinfo | grep render"?
[01:51] <juano> gnome_noob: yes, do what xipietotec suggests, you can also do sudo apt-get install kde afterwards for more apps and stuff
[01:51] <mark_o> so just cp
[01:51] <zYe> can anyone explain ./configure --prefix=/usr to me?  the "--prefix=/usr" part of the command doesnt make sense to me
[01:51] <black_13> not so good
[01:52] <bradley> unop, i think i will reinstall instead of upgrading feisty is supposed to be pretty unstable still isn't it?
[01:52] <Flannel> mark_o: it'd probably be easier to tar/gz it up (see !backup) then copy it and extract it
[01:52] <gnome_noob> so for give my complete noobness but I can load my current system (gnome freaks) ctrl+alt+f1 to console and "sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop"?
[01:52] <unop> juano, the kubuntu-desktop metapackage should bring in KDE and everything else tied with it
[01:52] <mark_o> !backup
[01:52] <ubotu> There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[01:52] <arrenlex> zYe: It means: yo, program! I want you to install everything in /usr, so your libs will be in /usr/lib, executables in /usr/bin/, etc.
[01:52] <black_13> 191 frames in 5.0 seconds = 38.163 FPS
[01:52] <mark_o> ok thanks!
[01:52] <mark_o> !cloning
[01:52] <ubotu> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type "dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages", move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type "sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade"
[01:52] <arrenlex> zYe: By default, programs installed from source use the /usr/local prefix -> /usr/local/lib/, /usr/local/bin/, etc.
[01:52] <keith> how close is fiesty from being ready?
[01:52] <juano> unop: nope, your wrong, KDE doesnt come in kubuntu-desktop, it doesnt install with it, you need to add it separately through synaptic
[01:52] <unop> bradley, well, i had feisty running for a couple of months -- it's stable enough for the brave users
[01:53] <tonyyarusso> keith: Many months.
[01:53] <b3> hi.when i try to play a video dvd iso with gxine it says:The xine engine failed to start.No demuxer found - stream format not recognised.
[01:53] <tonyyarusso> !feisty | keith
[01:53] <ubotu> keith: The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha. Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help in #ubuntu+1
[01:53] <xipietotec> keith: it's released on my birthday in April! :D
[01:53] <juano> unop: i did it here and after installing kde i got lots of more apps
[01:53] <zYe> arrenlex how does it know which program it is installing?
[01:53] <juano> unop: and stuff
[01:53] <arrenlex> zYe: What do you mean?
[01:53] <bradley> unop, hmm, well maybe i will, but i should still partition first i think.
[01:53] <arrenlex> black_13: What's the output of "glxinfo | grep render"?
[01:53] <b3> how do i make gxine play the iso?
[01:53] <unop> juano, but kubuntu's DE is KDE .. so, errm, i dunno what that's all about
[01:53] <keith> is beryl going to be integrated in fiesty?
[01:53] <bradley> unop, do you use a lap-top?
[01:53] <tonyyarusso> keith: maybe
[01:54] <juano> unop: kubuntu doesnt bring all KDE apps
[01:54] <juano> unop: i did it myself, it doesnt
[01:54] <tonyyarusso> keith: Further questions could be directed to #ubuntu+1
[01:54] <unop> bradley, I use a laptop yes but not ubuntu tho
[01:54] <juano> unop: you have to install KDE package from synaptic for all the KDE apps
[01:54] <keith> i was just curious
[01:54] <b3> well?
[01:54] <zYe> the ./command function doesnt have any information about what program it is looking for the command file
[01:54] <juano> unop: unless you want like 20 % of the apps
[01:54] <unop> juano, well well, i'll take your word on that, i have no first hand experience with kubuntu and very little with KDE itself
[01:55] <keith> i'm in no real hurry now that i have edgy tamed
[01:55] <AngryElf> what kind of widget solution is out there for ubuntu?
[01:55] <b3> hello.please reply to me.
[01:55] <zYe> wouldnt you have to state the directory the command file is in that your trying to configure
[01:55] <gnome_noob> is it possible to install KDE from the console?
[01:55] <arrenlex> zYe: The configure script? The configure script exists to set up your source for compilation. It's tailored to the program it sets up.
[01:55] <juano> unop: :P if you didnt install KDE open up synaptic and search KDE youll see its uninstalled
[01:55] <arrenlex> gnome_noob: Sure. apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[01:55] <AngryElf> b3 mount the iso, the do xine /path/to/mount point
[01:56] <sidny4> anyone know how to get arm-linux-gcc? I keep getting the error command not found.
[01:56] <juano> gnome_noob: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop , then sudo apt-get install kde
[01:56] <unop> juano, errm ,.. obviously :)
[01:56] <b3> how do i mount the iso?
[01:56] <AngryElf> google mount
[01:56] <gnome_noob> i'll try it thanks!
[01:56] <zYe> yes but ./configure script is made to set up any program i download that has a configure script in it right?
[01:56] <black_13> arrenlex http://rafb.net/p/H3gIJg63.html
[01:56] <arrenlex> b3: mount -o loop <file.iso> <mountpoint>
[01:56] <theflyingfool> gnome_noob sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get install kde
[01:56] <bradley> unop, kubuntu, xubuntu, other?
[01:56] <juano> unop: well so ? you said installing kubuntu installs kde, so you were wrong i guess
[01:57] <juano> unop: :P
[01:57] <arrenlex> black_13: yes your drivers are working, yes it is accelerated, yes it is probably as good as it's going to get.
[01:57] <zYe> like how does the configure script know where to look?
[01:57] <arrenlex> zYe: Look for what?
[01:57] <sidny4> anyone know how to get arm-linux-gcc? I keep getting the error command not found.
[01:58] <unop> bradley, i have ubuntu (well, it was xubuntu but now has gnome running but fluxbox as the WM) on a workstation -- my laptop runs debian
[01:58] <b3> what's the mountpoint supposed to be?
[01:58] <Flannel> sidny4: er... Where are you using that?
[01:58] <zYe> well in my tilda directory i have a configure file
[01:58] <zYe> now the ./configure is a terminal command right?
[01:58] <unop> juano, errm, do you like beating a man down even after he admits defeat or can you not read? :) i said i took your word
[01:59] <arrenlex> zYe: It's a script.
[01:59] <zYe> ok
[01:59] <unop> zYe, errm .. ./configure is an executable script
[01:59] <black_13> arrenlex what do the ati drivers buy me?
[01:59] <b3> hello.whats the mountpint supposed to be?
[01:59] <bradley> unop, i am a bit concerned about running feisty on my computer, it something goes terrible wrong then i am screwed.  i don't have a ton of technical knowledge.
[01:59] <semi-fly> booda
[01:59] <juano> unop: lol, no :P, but you seemed so secure when you said :  juano, but kubuntu's DE is KDE .. so, errm, i dunno what that's all about
[01:59] <sidny4> I'm working on installing linux on my PDA, and everything works so far but when I try to make the kernel for it I get arm-linux-gcc, command not found
[01:59] <TheDebugger> bradley: Why would you run feisty?
[01:59] <Flannel> juano, unop, kubuntu-desktop does install KDE.  However, it's not stock KDE (just like ubuntu isn't default gnome). Most people don't want
[01:59] <arrenlex> black_13: Depends on your card. Usually, 3D acceleration.. The free drivers don't.
[02:00] <Flannel> juano, unop, most people don't want "kde", they want kubuntu.
[02:00] <bradley> unop, but at the same time i am curious
[02:00] <unop> Flannel, thank you very much
[02:00] <zYe> ok, but how does this exec script know where to look for the configure file in my tilda directory
[02:00] <bradley> TheDebugger, it is still alpha (i think)
[02:00] <unop> juano, well, i suppose i am secure about that after all :)
[02:00] <zYe> isnt there a configure file in every package you download?
[02:00] <gimmulf> I ran: sudo apt-get install ruby1.8  But when i type "ruby" in terminal it says command not found?
[02:00] <Flannel> zYe: your tilda directory is your home directory, just so you know.  (/home/username/) ;)
[02:00] <arrenlex> zYe: You don't understand the syntax. ./ means "in the current folder", and configure is the name of the executable in the current folder.
[02:00] <Davitrola> arrenlex: last question before i reinstall edgy: my synaptic is giving me a "internal error opening cache", and it doesn't show any files. do you know what it means? i've tried removing any extra repositories, but it doesn't help.
[02:00] <black_13> ati radeon
[02:01] <juano> unop: lol ? READ: kubuntu-desktop does install KDE.  However, it's not stock KDE
[02:01] <zYe> -_-
[02:01] <arrenlex> zYe: Try cding to /usr/bin and running ./gedit
[02:01] <black_13> 250 something
[02:01] <juano> unop: "However, it's not stock KDE"
[02:01] <arrenlex> zYe: Now try running ./gedit from your home folder.
[02:01] <zYe> so all i have to do is say /tilda/configure?
[02:01] <b3> hi.what's the mountpoint for the iso supposed to be?
[02:01] <arrenlex> zYe: There is a gedit file which you can execute in the /usr/bin folder. Not in your home folder.
[02:01] <juano> unop: it doesnt install 100 % KDE and everything
[02:01] <unop> bradley, errm, no feisty isnt all that unstable .. it's quite stable compared to other pre-release distros like fedora or mandrake
[02:01] <b3> answer me.
[02:01] <arrenlex> zYe: *facepalm*
[02:01] <b3> please answer me.
[02:01] <black_13> arrenlex would this improve sdl's performace?
[02:02] <theflyingfool_> my Gnome Settings daemon wont load, how do i fix it
[02:02] <arrenlex> b3: mountpoint is any existing folder where you want to mount the iso.
[02:02] <juano> unop: if you want full KDE you need to install it from synaptic
[02:02] <arrenlex> black_13: I assume you're already using fglrx?
[02:02] <b3> hi.whats the mountpoint of the iso supposed to be?
[02:02] <bradley> unop, yeah okay, you have won me over.
[02:02] <arrenlex> b3: mountpoint is any existing folder where you want to mount the iso.
[02:02] <zYe> --_-
[02:02] <zYe> i hate being such a newb
[02:02] <Flannel> juano, stop bickering.
[02:02] <black_13> !ati
[02:02] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:02] <Flannel> zYe: we were all new to this at one point ;)
[02:02] <arrenlex> zYe: ./ means "current folder" just like /usr means "in the /usr folder". Understand?
[02:02] <bradley> unop, but i will set up the separate home partition first.
[02:02] <zYe> yea i do now
[02:03] <juano> hard people now a days
[02:03] <b3> can it be anywhere or does it have to be in /media?
[02:03] <black_13> arrenlex how would i check if im using said?
[02:03] <zYe> i wish they just had a huge list of every single meaning of all the commands for a terminal
[02:03] <unop> juano, kubuntu-desktop installs kde (which was what i said originally) .. stock KDE or not, i really dont care :)
[02:03] <zYe> that would really help me like no other
[02:03] <juano> unop: who are you trying to impress?
[02:03] <black_13> arrenlex all i did was follow the howto for installing the ati drivers from ubunt (not ati)
[02:03] <theflyingfool_> my settings daemon wont start when i log in
[02:03] <unop> bradley, yep, that's a priority thingy
[02:04] <b3> please answer me
[02:04] <arrenlex> black_13: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep -v "#" | grep fglrx | wc -l
[02:04] <arrenlex> black_13: 0 = no, 1 = yes
[02:04] <Flannel> gimmulf: ruby1.8 is just the libraries, you still need whatever bindings you want.  There's a list of common other packages here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/interpreters/ruby1.8
[02:04] <arrenlex> black_13: Yeah, that howto tells you how to install the fglrx driver. The ubuntu driver is just ati's driver put into a convenient package.
[02:04] <black_13> arrenlex "1"
[02:04] <Flannel> b3: what iso?
[02:05] <juano> unop: well i meant KDE stock and everything... so thats it, everyone is right on what they mean
[02:05] <arrenlex> black_13: Then that framerate is probably as good as you're going to get.
[02:05] <unop> juano, just be happy dude :)
[02:05] <bobby> has anyone had any success getting tv-out working with an ATI card? I keep getting the message "no screens found" in the error log file
[02:05] <juano> unop: you too ;)
[02:05] <b3> ok.thank you ill try it.bye
[02:05] <theflyingfool_> whats the site to post things that are to long to put in here?
[02:05] <arrenlex> !pastebin
[02:06] <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 (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[02:06] <black_13> arrenlex  i am not doing 3d graphics but instead 2d slot machine
[02:06] <zYe> this is what it says to do, :  1) ./configure --prefix=/usr   2) make 3) make install
[02:06] <arrenlex> black_13: Then you don't even care about the 3D framerate.
[02:06] <zYe> ok i got the configure thing down
[02:06] <[set] > is there a game dep repository for ubuntu?
[02:07] <dcordes> Can i see my kaffeine dvb-t over lan stream?
[02:07] <Flannel> [set] : there are games in the repositories, yes.
[02:07] <user666> hey what's the deal with 'recommended updates'? are they safe and are they enabled by default?
[02:07] <[set] > Flannel: how do i browse through them
[02:08] <Flannel> [set] : synaptic can sort by category.  Or: http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/games/
[02:08] <theflyingfool_> my settings daemon wont load at login what do i do
[02:08] <black_13> arrenlex right now im having to run some glut programs to demonstrat frame rate and runge kutte integration
[02:09] <vook> how would I go about booting the Edgy cd-rom live disc into the old curses style debian installer interface?
[02:09] <arrenlex> !alternate | vook
[02:09] <ubotu> vook: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[02:09] <Flannel> vook: download the alternate ISO
[02:09] <blanky> anyone here ever use dhl delivery service lol
[02:10] <Clark3934> I'm thinking about installing Ubuntu as my primary operating system, but I have some questions.  If Ubuntu is on my main computer in the network will it be able to let other windows machiens connect through a wireless router and act as a print server to other windows machiens?
[02:10] <blanky> i just got a quick question
[02:10] <blanky> anyone?
[02:10] <vook> woohoo - thanks :)
[02:10] <blanky> ?
[02:10] <gma> Clark3934: yes to everything
[02:10] <Flannel> blanky: er, about ubuntu? or DHL?  if it's the latter, you should ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:10] <ardchoille42> theflyingfool_, Are you running the gnome desktop?
[02:10] <user666> sry blanky i always use fedex
[02:10] <theflyingfool_> ardchoille42: yes
[02:10] <blanky> haha
[02:11] <Clark3934> @gma: is it difficult?
[02:11] <Clark3934> good documentation?
[02:11] <gma> Clark3934: not really hard, but I suppose these things are all relative to your experience
[02:12] <gma> Clark3934: do you know if your printer is supported?
[02:12] <ardchoille42> theflyingfool_, Care to pastebin the output of: ps aux | grep gnome-settings-daemon
[02:12] <theflyingfool_> ardchoille42: what is the pastebin url

[02:13] <Evan-navE> Hello, I upgraded from dapper drake to the newest version and my wifi doesn't work. I'm also linux illiterate!
[02:14] <Evan-navE> I have already tried readding the drivers to the windows wireless drivers section, and still no luck
[02:14] <theflyingfool_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1770/
[02:15] <Clark3934> @gma. Where is the printer support list?
[02:15] <gma> linuxprinting.org
[02:15] <black_13> what package do i need to install got get all c++ devel tools
[02:15] <jin_> is gedit slow? it takes more than 10 second to load
[02:15] <Evan-navE> I could care less about pasting at the moment
[02:15] <arrenlex> black_13: build-essential
[02:15] <black_13> thanks i always forget that
[02:15] <ardchoille42> theflyingfool_, Does this command output anything:  which gnome-settings-daemon
[02:15] <gma> jin_: takes about 5-6 secs on my 1GHz laptop
[02:15] <theflyingfool_> ardchoille42: /usr/bin/gnome-settings-daemon is all it outputs
[02:15] <ardchoille42> theflyingfool_, That's good
[02:16] <Evan-navE> my wlan0 thing isn't even showing up under networking, either
[02:16] <Evan-navE> :\
[02:16] <ardchoille42> theflyingfool_, And have you recently installed  new themes or changed to a new theme?
[02:16] <b3> hi.the command doesn't work
[02:16] <theflyingfool_> ardchoille42: i havnt changed themes since install, except on the login page and that works fine
[02:16] <arrenlex> b3: Use one that does.
[02:17] <b3> please give me the correct command
[02:17] <ardchoille42> theflyingfool_, Open a terminal and run: gnome-settings-daemon &
[02:17] <Evan-navE>  ffs...k
[02:17] <arrenlex> b3: That would require knowing what you were expecting it to do.
[02:17] <a514> Hi at the cd 6.06 boot: live-expert is not found?
[02:17] <theflyingfool_> ardchoille42: it seems to have brought back my standard theme,
[02:17] <b3> im talking about the command for mounting iso
[02:17] <bradley> unop, should i upgrade to feisty or should i install it from a cd?
[02:18] <theflyingfool_> ardchoille42: will i have to do this after every login now or should it just work again
[02:18] <arrenlex> b3: What command did you use and what error did it produce?
[02:18] <b3> the one someone gave me doesnt work
[02:18] <arrenlex> b3: What command did you use and what error did it produce?
[02:18] <ardchoille42> theflyingfool_, Ok, I was trying all the common things, it seems that your daemon isn't being executed on login, which you already knew. The problem now is to find out why.
[02:18] <wks12> hi
[02:18] <b3> dt
[02:18] <arrenlex> !hi
[02:18] <Evan-navE> i'll just switch to fedora, i've heard the community there is much more helpful
[02:18] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[02:18] <theflyingfool_> ardchoille42: any ideas?
[02:18] <a514> ubotu how do i boot expert
[02:19] <arrenlex> !ubotu | a514
[02:19] <lotacus> the cronsvc brltty is brail ?
[02:19] <ubotu> a514: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[02:19] <b3> wait im going somewhere
[02:19] <bluefox83> ok, how do i share my music folder with another ubuntu system on my network?
[02:19] <vignesh> Hi
[02:19] <Jester45> anyone here want to help me with xgl im in #ubuntu-xgl but nobody is there
[02:19] <ardchoille42> theflyingfool_, Until you find out why, you can always add that daemon to the session so it gets run on login. You can add the daemon to the sessions in System -> Preferences -> Sessions  and go to the Startup Programs tab.
[02:19] <lotacus> system>administration>shared folders
[02:19] <Alarm> how can i put a proccess in the backround ? what i wanna do is when connecting on my server via ssh, to be able to use wget and when i close the ssh application the download to continue
[02:20] <theflyingfool_> ardchoille42: do i just add that command i just ran?
[02:20] <oFF-beAt> still dun work
[02:20] <soundray> Alarm: use GNU screen for that
[02:20] <TheDebugger> Jester45: What is the problem? Do you use Dapper or Edgy?
[02:20] <lotacus> bluefox83: system>administration>shared folders
[02:20] <oFF-beAt> export JAVA_HOME=/home/offbeat/java_home/jdk1.5.0_09/bin
[02:20] <Alarm> -b ?
[02:20] <slop> how do i use the mozilla-mplayer plugin instead of the totem plugin in firefox?
[02:20] <vignesh> anyone tried ubuntu on an old pc ?
[02:20] <Alarm> soundray,  what do u mean with gnu screen ?
[02:20] <ardchoille42> theflyingfool_, I'm afraid I don't know much about the startup scripts for gnome. Yes, add this to the sessions:  gnome-settings-daemon   (don't add the "&")
[02:20] <soundray> Alarm: you probably have it installed. Try 'man screen'
[02:20] <theflyingfool_> ardchoille42: thanks much
[02:20] <arrenlex> Alarm: ctrl+z backgrounds an already running process and the "fg" command brings it back up. Putting a & at the end of the command returns control to the terminal when that command is run. Which are you looking for.
[02:21] <bluefox83> lotacus, the only option it gives me is through smb windows network..i no longer have a windows network..is there another way to do it?
[02:21] <a514> Hi How do i use Dapper CD to boot:live-expert when it's not found?
[02:21] <cj_> hi, if i want to install bare bones gnome, what should i apt-get Im using KDE atm
[02:21] <Alarm> okie thank you
[02:21] <cj_> hi, if i want to install bare bones gnome, what should i apt-get Im using KDE atm
[02:21] <Jester45> TheDebugger: im on xubuntu edgy the error is exec: 5: xfce-session not foundbut i just got some info from #xubuntu that it might be xfce4 so i will be back after a 2nd try
[02:21] <ardchoille42> theflyingfool_, You're welcome, you still need to find out *why* it isn't running on login, though
[02:22] <Smirnov> My login isn't working.... I get an error and I get booted to the main screen
[02:22] <theflyingfool_> ardchoille42: a quick fix is all i need to get me though the week though
[02:22] <Smirnov> it worked before, but i just ran the automatic updater and it stopped working after i rebooted
[02:22] <soundray> Smirnov: is your disk full?
[02:22] <Smirnov> nope
[02:23] <NickCz> can someone help me with azureus crashing at startup?
[02:23] <bradley> is it better to upgrade from edgy to feisty or use an iso cd?
[02:23] <wks12> hi
[02:23] <soundray> !feisty
[02:23] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha. Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help in #ubuntu+1
[02:23] <wks12> hey
[02:23] <unop> bradley, an upgrade is possible -- takes a little time tho -- it depends on how quick you want fesity running -- the down side to a fresh install is you have to go back to configuring and setting up your system the way you want it all over again
[02:24] <oFF-beAt> /home/offbeat/java_home/jdk1.5.0_09/bin    this java path.. i need to set the enviroment variables pls help
[02:24] <soundray> Smirnov: log in on the text console and look for error messages in $HOME/.xsession-errors
[02:24] <grandy> hello... I am wondering if there is any way to see the package update history for a package... maybe on the web or even on my local machine... ?
[02:24] <bradley> unop, so i could try the upgrade and for some reason if it doesn't work then i could use the cd?
[02:24] <james> hi there - can anyone recommend a good duplicate file finding app for ubuntu?  it needs to be fast (i'll be running it on a terabyte array)
[02:24] <jin_> omg, I love my Ubuntu desktop. it's so clean and works perfect
[02:24] <jin_> http://img246.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotvk0.png
[02:24] <james> ideally something that's in the repos...
[02:24] <soundray> grandy: it's the changelog in /usr/share/doc/packagename/
[02:24] <DARKGuy> Hey, anybody knows if there is a way to see what are the current kernel commandline parameters passed on boot in a LiveCD?
[02:25] <a514> ubotu gyachi
[02:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gyachi - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:25] <Smirnov> soundray: nothing really
[02:25] <a514> ubotu yahoo
[02:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about yahoo - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:25] <Smirnov> soundray: Registering your session with wtmp... running :usr/bin./sessreg ...... Beginning session setup
[02:25] <Alarm> arrenlex,  thanks for the tip of the backround proccess . doesnt work with wget. it stops the download. theres a -b argument. thank you again
[02:25] <Smirnov> soundray: just 3 lines, no "fatal errors" or anything
[02:25] <unop> bradley, i dont see any reason why the upgrade would fail -- it went quite smoothly when i did it -- a few packages might need reinstalling or tweaking, but nothing major to worry about
[02:25] <arrenlex> Alarm: Yes, that's what ctrl+z does. Suspends the process and returns control to the terminal.
[02:26] <bradley> unop, great.
[02:26] <Alarm> thought it puts it on the backround and still runs
[02:26] <soundray> Smirnov: maybe create a new user ('sudo adduser test'), then try and log in as that.
[02:27] <james> so no suggestions for duplicate file finding apps? seems like something people would probably want to do once in a while...
[02:27] <arrenlex> Alarm: No; sorry I didn't make that clear.
[02:27] <grandy> soundray: thanks!!
[02:27] <arrenlex> james: fdupes
[02:27] <soundray> grandy: yw
[02:27] <arrenlex> !info fdupes
[02:27] <unop> bradley, don't worry about anything .. just go for it, whats the worst that can happen (now that you have your homedir backed up, you have done that right?) , you'll learn a few things on the way too :)
[02:27] <ubotu> fdupes: Identifies duplicate files within given directories. In component main, is optional. Version 1.40-4 (edgy), package size 13 kB, installed size 80 kB
[02:27] <Smirnov> soundray: shit.. that works...
[02:27] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy
[02:27] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[02:27] <black_13> what package provides libXMu?
[02:27] <james> arrenlex: i'll give that a go, thanks
[02:27] <Alarm> its ok
[02:27] <bds> How do I change the default run level so GDM does not load, I don't have a /etc/inittab, do I chmod /etc/init.d/gdm to make it not executable?
[02:27] <james> !info fdupes
[02:27] <theflyingfool> ardchoille42: do you have any ideas on how i can track down why it isnt starting
[02:28] <arrenlex> james: I just did that. =P
[02:28] <james> i guess that isn't a trigger...
[02:28] <arrenlex> james: It is. Ubotu just did that like three seconds ago so he won't do it again.
[02:28] <bds> I would like the default run level to be without X, similar to Slackware
[02:28] <unop> bds, use the update-rc.d command to disable GDM altogether
[02:28] <ardchoille42> theflyingfool, the system starts gnome and its deps in some script, need to find that script and check it out. That's where I'd start
[02:28] <Smirnov> soundray: excellent. i had a file ~/.xsession and it didnt like that
[02:28] <Pirate-King> going to install dual boot
[02:28] <Pirate-King> need a good how too
[02:28] <bds> unop: Danke
[02:29] <Smirnov> does anyone here know how I would make synergyc startup automatically before i login?
[02:29] <theflyingfool> the /etc folder?
[02:29] <soundray> Smirnov: look in System-Preferences-Sessions
