[00:01] <unitedpotsmokers> hey guys, how to bypass firewall? i can't surf certain website like youtube at collage..,what is a special tools or software to change our ip or bypass firewall in ubuntu
[00:01] <Cube> unitedpotsmokers: LOL
[00:01] <Cube> unitedpotsmokers: you probably need to use a proxy
[00:02] <rave> hi i need to install load runner on ubuntu   need help
[00:02] <Scunizi> unitedpotsmokers: If you can surf youtube at home or a wifi spot and not at school then it's probably a restriction the school has put on their network
[00:03] <Halitech> unitedpotsmokers, if your college admin has blocked sites like youtube then for us to assist in getting you past the firewall would be wrong
[00:03] <Big> unitedpotsmokers: , try looking up TOR
[00:03] <OttifantSir> @unitedpotsmokers: Have the schools of higher edutcation been renamed? I though collEge was school, and collAge was a picture of many pictures pasted together. Have I been wrong for the past 15 years?
[00:03] <Martin31> can somebody help me with my wireless usb device ? it works with the preinstalled ubuntu drivers but it transfers slow
[00:03] <ikonia> rave: is loadrunner available on linux ?
[00:04] <Cube> !english ikonia
[00:04] <ikonia> Cube: I'm speaking english
[00:05] <Cube> ikonia: no way!?
[00:05] <ikonia> Cube: what was the point of giving me an english factoid ?
[00:06] <dijonmustard> anyone worked with projectM?
[00:06] <SpacePigeon> can somebody point me to a guide on how to make a windows bootable usb (from linux)
[00:06] <Cube> ikonia: lol are you gonna bother me the whole night about it?
[00:06] <Markopotomus> Hi hi. Rearding this password for default keyring business, that I have to enter when the computer starts up as it connects to my home wireless network, do I really have to enter it each time or is there a way to get it to remember?
[00:06] <ikonia> Cube: no, I'm asking why you gave it me
[00:06] <SpacePigeon> the startup disk creation tool works only for ubuntu bootable usbs
[00:07] <rocko> how do I configure where the programs I have icons for in the application menu
[00:07] <Halitech> SpacePigeon, look into BartPE
[00:07] <dijonmustard> I have a vista pe image
[00:07] <Halitech> SpacePigeon, not that windows runs all that well from a USB stick
[00:08] <dijonmustard> it runs fine Halitech
[00:08] <Big> here is the pastebin
[00:08] <Big> http://pastebin.com/m43fd944c
[00:08] <SpacePigeon> Halitech, yeah, i'm just trying to run a chkdsk /f on a windows computer (acer laptop) which has no cd drive
[00:08] <SpacePigeon> so i just need the repairing functions
[00:08] <rave> ikonia yes loadrunner is available for linux
[00:08] <SpacePigeon> not that i will run windows on it haha
[00:08]  * Markopotomus fixed his EeePC using the Ubuntu desktop CD on a USB stick today :)
[00:08] <Halitech> dijonmustard, they must have made some changes then
[00:08] <pas> hello, I've upgraded to karmic with the simple "update-manager -d" , everything went fine, except on restart I've got neither splash (I know it's by design) nor kernel boot messages. any advice? am I alone with this? should I file a bug?
[00:08] <dijonmustard> spacepigeon the easiest thing to do is just put another cdrom in it
[00:08] <ikonia> rave: can't see any info on the HP website
[00:08] <sebsebseb> !karmic | pas
[00:08] <rave> ikonia yes loadrunner is available for linux but it is for enterprise red hat linux
[00:08] <dijonmustard> even if temporarily
[00:08] <Halitech> SpacePigeon, any option of a floppy?
[00:09] <VCoolio> rocko: that's kind of an incomplete question but I think rightclick on the menu and then "edit menus" should get you started
[00:09] <pas> thanks
[00:09] <sebsebseb> np
[00:09] <rave> i have the script and package with me but it says prerequiste not there
[00:09] <ikonia> rave: then you'll have a hard time, you'd have to extract the rpm's "hope" they have compatible library sets and then place them in the correct place on your ubuntu box
[00:09] <Martin31> hey sebsebseb you helped me earlier, is there a chance you can help me again ? this time regarding my wireless network device
[00:09] <Halitech> !alien | rave
[00:09] <rave> ikonia i have the script and package with me but it says prerequiste not there
[00:10] <SpacePigeon> Halitech, nah, it doesn't have a floppy drive either (nor i have a portable usb floppy drive)
[00:10] <ikonia> rave: which prerequisites are missing
[00:10] <sebsebseb> Martin31: earlier?  you mean the other day with something?
[00:10] <sebsebseb> !wireless |  Martin31
[00:10] <Halitech> SpacePigeon, look into a usb boot disk at bootdisk.com
[00:10] <rave> ubottu it is not a package its a script
[00:10] <edbian> rave: ubottu is a robot
[00:10] <sebsebseb> !bot |  rave
[00:11] <Martin31> sebsebseb yes but it was a different problem you helped with before
[00:11] <emery> how would i view what H/D's i have connected via terminal
[00:11] <MidsummerDawn> So iTunes doesn't support on Ubuntu?
[00:11] <Cube> ikonia: it wasn't ME actually. i have a seizure that makes me type in random stuff on irc channel. sorry about it
[00:11] <edbian> emery: sudo fdisk -l
[00:11] <gogeta> MidsummerDawn: thers no itunes linux :(
[00:11] <SpacePigeon> Halitech, i am currently trying with unetbooting
[00:11] <Martin31> sebsebseb: i am connected with my wireless device but its not working properly
[00:12] <Halitech> SpacePigeon, I wonder if k3b would allow to you create a bootable image to put on usb
[00:12] <Scunizi> !ipod | gogeta
[00:12] <SpacePigeon> i will keep your method in memory in case i fail
[00:12] <jilbert> | is invalid ip, host or nickname.
[00:12] <sebsebseb> Martin31: I don't do wireless, but the link the bot gave is very good
[00:12] <gogeta> MidsummerDawn: but wine can run itunes
[00:12] <daszorz> i've installed a second net card, it shows up in lspci but theres no eth1, can anyone help?
[00:12] <Halitech> SpacePigeon, doh, forgot about unetbootin
[00:12] <MidsummerDawn> Does Wine support iTouch?
[00:12] <dijonmustard> anyone here running xp using vmware?
[00:12] <SpacePigeon> Halitech, haha
[00:12] <gogeta> MidsummerDawn: donno check google
[00:12] <Martin31> sebsebseb: its more of a troubleshooting thing because i already got it to work
[00:12] <SpacePigeon> Halitech, i just figured out while looking at community's doc
[00:12] <gogeta> dijonmustard: i have
[00:12] <sebsebseb> dijonmustard: I have used VMware player and server before,  but Virtualbox :)
[00:12] <Scunizi> dijonmustard: I have for about a year but I prefer virtualbox
[00:13] <gogeta> sebsebseb: hehe vbox 3 d3d support :)
[00:13] <sebsebseb> Martin31: well provide full details and someone else can probably help
[00:13] <dijonmustard> i heard virtualbox is buggy
[00:13] <Halitech> SpacePigeon, I used it a long time ago to get ubuntu installed on an old compaq that had a dead cdrom
[00:13] <Scunizi> dijonmustard: nope
[00:13] <emery> how would i mount . /dev/sdb1
[00:13] <sebsebseb> dijonmustard: Virtualbox is amazing :)
[00:13] <gogeta> Halitech: lol unetbootin is your frend
[00:13] <Halitech> emery, sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mount/point
[00:13] <Scunizi> dijonmustard: if you get it from the repos then you don't have usb support.. get it from thier repos instead..
[00:13] <dijonmustard> grrr i just got done installing vmware server
[00:14] <sebsebseb> gogeta: yeah, but how good is it really?
[00:14] <Halitech> gogeta, yeah, only downside is you need to have an OS running to use it
[00:14] <sebsebseb> gogeta: have you tested?
[00:14] <gogeta> sebsebseb: what vbox 3
[00:14] <sebsebseb> gogeta: yep and the Directx  support
[00:14] <dijonmustard> they have directx support now?
[00:14] <dijonmustard> wow
[00:14] <gogeta> sebsebseb: no i did it in vmware thow
[00:15] <Scunizi> gogeta: dijonmustard yep.. for dx8/9
[00:15] <gogeta> sebsebseb: good for dx apps
[00:15]  * __d3f0__ is away: Ausente por ahora
[00:15] <ikonia> !away > __d3f0__
[00:15] <gogeta> dont plan on gaming lol
[00:15] <dijonmustard> Think i might just go all kubunt compiz and start running virtual sessions on my desktops
[00:15] <sebsebseb> dijonmustard: I read it's slow with some games though, or whatever
[00:15] <daszorz> i've installed a second net card, it shows up in lspci but theres no eth1, can anyone help?
[00:15] <Scunizi> gogeta: if they are older then it shouldn't be a problem
[00:16] <mezquitale> I installed an SSH server in my local lan and can connect to it via ssh -p xxx<EMAIL_ADDRESS>how can I connect to the server remotely from the internet?  Would I be able to ssh to my machine just by resolving the IP of my router?? Or something special needs to be done so I can ssh from the internet to my ssh server that's connected via a cable modem and router?
[00:16] <dijonmustard> they got caldega and that other one crossover so games dont seem to be that big of a deal for linux anymore
[00:16] <Cube> ikonia: but we cool right?
[00:16] <Cube> ikonia: im sorry man
[00:16] <ikonia> mezquitale: 192.168 is non-routable, you'll need to nat/portforward your public IP address
[00:16] <gogeta> Scunizi: vmware makes the card show up as a genric nivida or ari
[00:16] <dijonmustard> Ive been sittn back for 10 years playing with linux on the side waiting for it to get where I want think it's getting close.
[00:17] <AndorinKato> Is it possible for a wireless card to have trouble with connecting to just /one/ specific network? I'm on my laptop (Jaunty) and when I try to connect to the library's wireless via wicd, it never gets past the "Obtaining IP Address" stage. Others can connect since I see them on their computers...
[00:17] <gogeta> ati
[00:17] <Scunizi> gogeta: yep.. that's normal
[00:17] <Halitech> mezquitale, you would need to forward ports on your router (if you have 1) and y ou might want to look into a free name service like dyndns.com
[00:17] <bastidrazor> mezquitale, forward port 22 to your internal IP
[00:17] <sebsebseb> dijonmustard: yep it's getting there,  with the help of Wine, and  Virtualbox
[00:17] <Scunizi> gogeta: probably similar in vbox.
[00:17] <Martin31> Okay so I have a wireless usb device to connect to my network, it's a Netgear WG111v2. It works out of the box, but I get max download speeds of 90kb/s, even while transferring files on my lan. Any help ?
[00:17] <OttifantSir> @Big: Try running this in a terminal: "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel" (without quotation marks) and log out of your session and back in to restart X. See if that gives you anything. Also, give us any error messages during install of this driver.
[00:17] <gogeta> Andorin wicd you have to turn off keys for it to connect to a open
[00:17] <Barridus> ever since creating a xsession script to use gnome with openbox wm, my sound starts muted upon login.  is there some command i need to add to this script to unmute and set the sound level to max?
[00:18] <dijonmustard> i implement microsoft for a living but i say more and more the future is open source
[00:18] <gogeta> Andorinor it will try to send your keys and of course fail
[00:18] <mezquitale> bastid_razor, i changed the port, i think port 22 is being blocked by my isp, anyone knows if cable internet blocks ports to be used for ssh? im not using the default port
[00:18] <sebsebseb> dijonmustard: of course there are some pretty good games for Linux,  just got to know where to get them from,   but  there's still this idea that  Windows gaming is  better, so once  Virtualbox can support it properly :)
[00:18] <ikonia> mezquitale: contact your isp
[00:19] <gogeta> mezquitale: no no isp blocks port 23
[00:19] <bastidrazor> mezquitale, then forward the port ssh is listening to.. i have the same situation and simply changed the port ssh listens to then forwarded that port in my router
[00:19] <gogeta> ssh
[00:19] <dijonmustard> yeah i use to play quake3 in linux
[00:19] <gogeta> mezquitale: they normaly block 22 to stop ftp servers
[00:19] <dijonmustard> and enemy territory
[00:20] <Halitech> gogeta, ftp is on 21
[00:20] <daszorz> i've installed a second net card, it shows up in lspci but theres no eth1, can anyone help?
[00:20] <mezquitale> Halitech, so basically I would use the ip on my cable modem to reach my ssh server and I would need to redirect the port I use for ssh to the ip on the ssh server?
[00:20] <gogeta> lol oops
[00:20] <gogeta> yea 21
[00:20] <Halitech> mezquitale, yes
[00:20] <gogeta> they dont block 22
[00:20] <Halitech> gogeta, ;)
[00:20] <SpacePigeon> Halitech, so, this is taking forever.. are those files in that site you linked me to supposed to contain the repair functions of the windows xp cd
[00:20] <SpacePigeon> ?
[00:20] <rikki_max> hello is there any way to view a terminal if it is running from another process e.g. running on a remote system and u didn't start it
[00:20] <AndorinKato> gogeta: What do you mean, turn off keys?
[00:20] <VCoolio> Barridus: try adding something like this script to startup apps; it's a workaround, not a solution; http://pastebin.com/f7326ebbe
[00:21] <gogeta> Halitech: of couse any smart user just uses a non standerd port lol
[00:21] <dijonmustard> Can someone send me a working irc proxy? :) socks 5 or proxy...
[00:21] <ikonia> dijonmustard: no
[00:21] <dijonmustard> lol
[00:21] <Scunizi> rikki_max: if the terminal was started and you're running screen on the remote machine
[00:21] <ikonia> dijonmustard: you'll need to build one yourself
[00:21] <gogeta> Andorin: click the little arrow on the connection and go to advaned settings
[00:21] <dijonmustard> i have one i guess to use brb now that u got my ip :P
[00:21] <rikki_max> scunizi: the process was started by a script
[00:22] <Halitech> SpacePigeon, remind me again, what link did I send you :O
[00:22] <erxin> i cant login to vnc from a remote pc, can anyone help me out
[00:22] <VCoolio> Barridus: that will work only with alsa; for pulseaudio check what command you need to unmute and set to some %
[00:22] <gogeta> Andorin: for there can turn off wifi securty or chage it
[00:22] <Nozy> mfs
[00:22] <Scunizi> rikki_max: In that case I'm not sure.. without screen as a multiplexer (if that's the right word) I don't think you can attach to it.
[00:22] <Martin31> Okay so I have a wireless usb device to connect to my network, it's a Netgear WG111v2. It works out of the box, but I get max download speeds of 90kb/s, even while transferring files on my lan. Any help ?
[00:22] <Andorin> gogeta: Nothing is enabled on this connection...  no boxes are checked.
[00:22] <eagle-eyes> Hi having trouble with GRUB files on my USB Stick install; keeps looking at the HDD for Ubuntu install when its on the USB stick--what do I need to change?
[00:22] <SpacePigeon> Halitech, bootdisk.com
[00:22] <gogeta> Andorin: is the libary open
[00:22] <Halitech> erxin, do you have a router and have you forwarded the port?
[00:22] <Andorin> gogeta: I'm there now.
[00:22] <Barridus> VCoolio, i'm using pulse, thanks for the point in the right direction
[00:23] <Scunizi> rikki_max: if you can modify the script to run screen and then the process inside of the screen instance then yes.. you'll be able to attach to it.
[00:23] <Halitech> SpacePigeon, ahh, no it shouldn';t take long to download
[00:23] <gogeta> Andorin: does it say open or doees it need a key
[00:23] <rikki_max> scunizi: thnks well i thought so, now im going to adding logging to my irc bot thnks to that certain guy
[00:23] <Andorin> gogeta: Oh, the network? It's unsecured.
[00:23] <SpacePigeon> Halitech, i might wait for the bootable usb to be created, but its still below 10%
[00:23] <gogeta> Andorin: it will say wep or wpa
[00:23] <fer_> ola
[00:23] <mezquitale> Halitech,  I will do that once I get home!  Thanks!  I already have an adccount with dyndns.com, I want to be able to log in using an actual IP first, once I know that works I will use the service for name resolution
[00:23] <fer_> q tal
[00:23] <fer_> alguien de españa
[00:24] <Halitech> SpacePigeon, I think unetbootin is slow writing to a usb stick
[00:24] <Halitech> mezquitale, ok
[00:24] <erxin> Halitech: does VNC do not configure that automatically
[00:24] <rikki_max> scunizi: it logs currently to the console and of course didn't make it save it. and i needed to c it just wondering if ubuntu could let me c that process terminal
[00:24] <gogeta> Andorin: then slect advanced and uncheck use key
[00:24] <SpacePigeon> Halitech, yeah, a lot!
[00:24] <SpacePigeon> Halitech, any other app
[00:24] <SpacePigeon> ?
[00:24] <Andorin> gogeta: It is unchecked.
[00:24] <Halitech> erxin, no it won't configure a router
[00:24] <gogeta> Andorin: it should connect
[00:24] <SpacePigeon> it takes about 30ms writing any file, whether its 700 B or 16 KB !
[00:24] <Scunizi> rikki_max: if it's running inside of screen yes
[00:24] <Halitech> SpacePigeon, not that I can think of
[00:24] <Andorin> gogeta: K, I'll try it.
[00:25] <fer_> ola
[00:25] <VCoolio> !es | fer
[00:25] <SpacePigeon> Halitech, if only the usb creator supported any os installation...
[00:25] <rikki_max> scunizi: belive me i can't it started the process form another script so it didn't show output in current window
[00:25] <Halitech> SpacePigeon, would be nice
[00:25] <Scunizi> rikki_max: oh well
[00:25] <wells> hi all
[00:26] <can_> Hey guys I have some questions about compiz and ubuntu, would somebody mind helping me?
[00:26] <gogeta> Andorin: if its working on ever other network they must have something configure diffrent
[00:26] <Scunizi> can_: only if you ask a questoin
[00:26] <Scunizi> *question
[00:26] <OttifantSir> !ask | can_
[00:26] <SpacePigeon> Halitech, beause it is indeed fast
[00:26] <gogeta> Andorin: maye its just not working
[00:26] <gogeta> Andorin: or they use a mac filter
[00:28] <wells> I need help to understand this s tuto http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/fulldisclosure/2004-10/0310.html
[00:28] <dijonmustard> Quassel doesnt support proxies what's the best irc client?
[00:28] <Hoss> Need some help removing WINE.  I apt-get remove, and verified that synaptic didnt have it installed, yet when I issue the command wine --version it returns the version.  Where is it installed and how can I completely remove it?
[00:28] <can_> Sorry guys I'm not used to irc, I just migrated to linux from Mac OS, and was wondering if there is way to navigate through all windows in a way that mac os's expose does (all windows fitted onto the screen)
[00:28] <Scunizi> dijonmustard: irssi probably does
[00:29] <gogeta> Hoss: apt-get purge wine
[00:29] <AndorinKato> gogeta: Nope, it got stuck on "Obtaining IP address" and then just quit. When I said that the box was unchecked, I mean that it was unchecked by default.
[00:29] <gogeta> Hoss: removes config files
[00:29] <Hoss> gogeta: why doesnt remove get rid of it?
[00:29] <Scunizi> can_: if you can activate compiz then it has an expose feature.. cube too!
[00:29] <gogeta> AndorinKato: sounds like they filter the network
[00:29] <dijonmustard> What is the easiest way to cloak your self on irc minus using a proxy?
[00:29] <AndorinKato> gogeta: For what?
[00:30] <Hoss> gogeta:  purge says that wine isnt installed.
[00:30] <Scunizi> can_: what kind of video card do you have?
[00:30] <gogeta> AndorinKato: if every other network works
[00:30] <daszorz> i've installed a second net card, it shows up in lspci but theres no eth1, can anyone help?
[00:30] <can_> I have compiz, but I couldn't find the expose feature, the cube is amazing though!
[00:30] <AndorinKato> gogeta: What could they be filtering out? I didn't know that was possible.
[00:30] <gogeta> AndorinKato: they might use mac filters
[00:30] <Scunizi> can_: if you have the cube then you've installed ccsm .. in there will be the option to turn on expose
[00:30] <gogeta> AndorinKato: yea its mac adress filtering
[00:30] <Cube> can_: im amazing?
[00:31] <dijonmustard> guess google in my friend or my enemy not sure..
[00:31] <can_> I am sure you are =)
[00:31] <OttifantSir> @Hoss: Open your home-folder, press Ctrl+H and Shift+Move To Trash after you right-clicked .wine-folder
[00:31] <gogeta> AndorinKato: i would ask them how to connect they might have to unblock your pc
[00:31] <ConstantineXVI> is it possible to override the linux-splash start page in the chromium nightlies?
[00:31] <AndorinKato> gogeta: How do I figure out my MAC address? I know nothing about them.
[00:31] <gogeta> AndorinKato: they probly do it to stop wardriving
[00:32] <dijonmustard> usermode +x
[00:32] <can_> Scunizi do you know what its called, I can't find it in ccsm
[00:32] <VCoolio> can_: Expo plugin
[00:32] <Scunizi> can_: ah there you go.. VCoolio gave it to you
[00:32] <lstarnes> dijonmustard: ask in #freenode
[00:32] <gogeta> AndorinKato: you tell them you wanna connect they will whitelist your pc
[00:32] <can_> Thanks
[00:32] <can_> Just saw it
[00:32] <gogeta> AndorinKato: being aq libary it should be free
[00:32] <Hoss> OttifantSir:  I renamed my old .wine folder in /home/username because I might want to re-install wine at a later time.  Do you think the files in this re-named folder are invoking wine commands?
[00:32] <AndorinKato> gogeta: Ok. What information do I need to give them in order for them to whitelist it?
[00:33] <gogeta> AndorinKato: they knoe they just gotta look at there roughter and see it
[00:33] <phant0m_> why is it that every time and im serious everytime! i install from cmd line it never works not ever#
[00:33] <Cube> can_: lol
[00:33] <AndorinKato> gogeta: Okay, thanks a lot. :)
[00:33] <lstarnes> phant0m_: what error does it result in?
[00:34] <phant0m_> ok jre
[00:34] <phant0m_> tbh i dont know
[00:35] <OttifantSir> @Hoss: It shouldn't, as it's no longer a part of your PATHS. Try re-install WINE, then apt-get --purge remove wine (or just one -, as in -purge)
[00:35] <phant0m_> im tryin to install heritrix
[00:35] <phant0m_> i have java and plugin

[00:41] <pumpkinseed> Running Ubuntu 9.04 64bit with a Sound Blaster Audigy 4. Sound works fine, but when I plug my headphones in my sound is quiet as a whisper (after I raise my volume meter to 100%). I have scoured all sound settings and everything is at 100%. Can anyone help?
[00:41] <phant0m_> it dont matter which app it is it just wont do wot i tell it its done the same with klaxon tripwire snort

[00:42] <phant0m_> jre 6
[00:42] <coleys> Do you have openjdk installed aswell....?
[00:42] <Andorin> gogeta: Okay, I spoke with the guy behind the counter and he says that they don't filter their network at all... they even leave one of their routers online @ night so people can park outside and use the connection.
[00:42] <phant0m_> no
[00:43] <gogeta> Andorin: oddd
[00:43] <coleys> phant0m_: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[00:43] <coleys> what does that show...?
[00:43] <rocko> o  bhey
[00:43] <rocko> you guys know anything about
[00:43] <rocko> "videogames"
[00:44] <Dr_Willis> wow.. thats a very 'specific' topic - isent it...
[00:44] <phant0m_> you see no one tells you this on a page on the web in simple terms
[00:44] <lwells> When I shut down, I get horizontal orange bars all the way up and down the screen, does that mean anything?
[00:44] <Dr_Willis> lwells:  as you are shutting down befor the pc powers off? not a big issue.. just how the card/memory is getting reset/displayed i imagine
[00:44] <coleys> phant0m_: Honestly you need to calm down, =p ... chmod + x /path/to/jarfile.jar
[00:45] <Dr_Willis> You can make a .jar exexutable? never tried that.
[00:45] <Andorin> gogeta: Indeed... oh, by the way, I was also unable to connect to the network when I ran Vista on this laptop, so I don't think it's my software.
[00:45] <phant0m_> see coleys now theres another problem
[00:45] <gogeta> Andorin: have you tryed disconnecting from the first network first
[00:45] <pumpkinseed> Running Ubuntu 9.04 64bit with a Sound Blaster Audigy 4. Sound works fine, but when I plug my headphones in my sound is quiet as a whisper (after I raise my volume meter to 100%). I have scoured all sound settings and everything is at 100%.  I do not know what your refering too...
[00:45] <gogeta> phant0m_: installing java might help :)
[00:45] <Andorin> gogeta: When I got here the first thing I tried to do was connect to the library's network... I'm on someone's linksys atm. I could try disconnecting and reconnecting if it makes you feel better.
[00:45] <Dr_Willis> lwells:  quirk of the video drivers/card. ivbe seen it on a few box's
[00:46] <coleys> phant0m_: Yeah it seems as if you dont even have java installed.
[00:46] <phant0m_> i have mate i have jre its in my prog list
[00:46] <gogeta> Andorin: it sounds like a dchp issue
[00:46] <intok> !K3B
[00:46] <gogeta> Andorin: the roughter is not passing out a ip
[00:46] <phant0m_> chmod: cannot access `x': No such file or directory

[00:47] <Dr_Willis> 'feature rich and user friendly!' - and Buzzword Fortified!
[00:47] <intok> anyone know why I can't get K3B to use more then 16 chars when I have selected 103 char limit in advanced
[00:47] <lwells> Dr_Willis: Does not stop boot process, just looks funky
[00:47] <coleys> phant0m_: chmod +x /path/to/jarfile.jar
[00:47] <Dr_Willis> lwells:  just a warning about somthing.. not woth worrying about.
[00:47] <Andorin> gogeta: Okay, thanks, I'll look for further help online. Got to go, though.
[00:47] <lwells> ok, thanks
[00:47] <phant0m_> damn this is hard lol its like learning a new language
[00:48] <yurimxpxman> I'm trying to use arecord to capture my soundcard output, but it sounds fuzzy and it changes volume in the recording as I change the master volume on my soundcard. Is there a way to make this better?
[00:48] <coleys> phant0m_: Lol not really =P You'll get the hang of it.
[00:48] <coleys> phant0m_: Your just overwhelmed at the moment.
[00:48] <Dr_Willis> with linux it pays to 'learn, think, pause, do, learn more' :)
[00:48] <gogeta> lol he left befor i could tell him to try using the 3 diffrent dchp in wicd lol
[00:48] <P|kkie> I have a problem I have a fresh install of 9.04 and I want to disable pulse audio as it's causing a problem with wine
[00:48] <P|kkie> what do I do ?
[00:48] <phant0m_> too right im not sure where my ass ends and my head begins i literally installed this last week
[00:49] <Dr_Willis> P|kkie:  you may want to try upgrading to the latest wine.   From the winehq site first.
[00:49] <coleys> phant0m_: Anyways its good to have patience and respect with us in here, we are volunteers. =p
[00:49] <P|kkie> I already did that the #winehq send me here
[00:49] <Dreki> is there a way to force a program(or in this case a game) to run in windowed mode?
[00:50] <P|kkie> they said to disable pulse audio
[00:50] <gogeta> P|kkie: admin go to sound and slect the oss or alisa sound driver
[00:50] <P|kkie> but when I do a search in my add/remove programs I can't find it
[00:50] <phant0m_> oh i totally agree its the os im losin the patience here lol
[00:50] <phant0m_> with rather
[00:50] <gogeta> P|kkie: and set them as defult
[00:50] <Dr_Willis> P|kkie:  forget aobut that 'add/remove' programs thing. :) its a limited seletion of packages in there.. and 'disabling' is not the same as 'removing'
[00:50] <coleys> phant0m_: Msg me =)
[00:51] <pumpkinseed> Running Ubuntu 9.04 64bit with a Sound Blaster Audigy 4. Sound works fine, but when I plug my headphones in my sound is quiet as a whisper (after I raise my volume meter to 100%). I have scoured all sound settings and everything is at 100%. Can anyone help?
[00:51] <phant0m_> how?
[00:51] <gogeta> Dr_Willis: lol you can change it in sound
[00:51] <P|kkie> Ok when I go to my sound preferences it says SI7012 with CMI9739 and they all say OSS
[00:51] <Dr_Willis> gogeta:  yep. But amazing enough. ive never had to. :)
[00:51] <gogeta> P|kkie: you should see preferd
[00:52] <gogeta> should say pulse change that
[00:52] <Martin31> Okay so I have a wireless usb device to connect to my network, it's a Netgear WG111v2. It works out of the box, but I get max download speeds of 90kb/s, even while transferring files on my lan. Any help ?
[00:53] <carter> hey
[00:53] <Cajun_Lan_Man> Hey carter
[00:53] <gogeta> Martin31: is its a wireless b card that abought max
[00:53] <P|kkie> I do not see preferred it says Sound Events --> Sound Playback: SiS SI7012 with CMI9739 SiS SI7012 (OSS) and than the Test button
[00:53] <carter> Ubunutu 9.04 has shown poor environment performance with my dell d520. I've heard this is due to the intel graphics. Is this true
[00:53] <carter> ?
[00:53] <gogeta> P|kkie: then its not using pulse
[00:54] <Cajun_Lan_Man> carter: can you be more specific as to what you mean by poor performance?
[00:54] <usser> carter, possibly, intel is slow on 9.04
[00:54] <P|kkie> ok in the #winehq they said to run "pgrep pulse" if it returned a number it was running pulse and it returned a number
[00:54] <Martin31> gogeta: no it's g
[00:54] <gogeta> carter: yes current intel gma is slow
[00:55] <Martin31> gogeta: i used it a couple days ago when i had XP on this computer, and gave me my isp max which is down: 350 kb/s and up: 45 kb/s
[00:55] <BePhantom> hi, does anyone have an Acer Aspire One with Ubuntu 9.04? it won't mount my SD memory

[00:55] <pw-toxic> hi - i'm trying to install amazon mp3 downloader, but i'm running ubuntu on 64 bit... so i want to use force architecture, but i need the command "getlibs" to resolve the conflicts...  but bash cant find the command getlibs.. how can i install it?
[00:56] <extor> If I have a headless box as a CUPS server, will that box auto-detect my printer like a GUI box does or do I need to be in gnome and run that printer wizard to detect and setup my printer?
[00:56] <carter> thanks
[00:56] <usser> pw-toxic, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790
[00:56] <gogeta> Martin31: maybe it was just a slow site
[00:56] <usser> extor, you'll need to add printer using cups web interface localhost:631
[00:56] <Martin31> gogeta: it's everywhere, even on lan transfers
[00:57] <gogeta> Martin31: have you tryed just reconnecting maybe a bad channel
[00:57] <pumpkinseed> Running Ubuntu 9.04 64bit with a Sound Blaster Audigy 4. Sound works fine, but when I plug my headphones in my sound is quiet as a whisper (after I raise my volume meter to 100%). I have scoured all sound settings and everything is at 100%. Can anyone help?
[00:57] <pw-toxic> usser, thanks..  how did you find this? ;((
[00:57] <Martin31> gogeta: yes ive tried that
[00:57] <extor> usser, so I don't need to run gnome on the CUPS server I take it
[00:57] <usser> pw-toxic, google
[00:57] <usser> extor, no
[00:57] <gogeta> Martin31: so you got full preformance and now your not
[00:58] <Martin31> gogeta: exactly
[00:58] <gogeta> Martin31: maybe your to far
[00:58] <Martin31> gogeta: what do you mean
[00:58] <pw-toxic> usser, looks like i'm not very good at googling.. i looked about 3-5 minutes ;) thanks
[00:59] <gogeta> Martin31: the further from a wifi the slower it goes
[00:59] <Martin31> gogeta: it's the same place it was when it worked fully
[00:59] <Martin31> gogeta: so thats not the problem
[00:59] <gogeta> Martin31: is it showing as 100%
[01:05] <Martin31> bastidrazor: yeah im looking at the unrar help in terminal, never done it in terminal before
[01:05] <ScottG> What is the nme of that program that shows you your computers disk usage in a sort of pie chart?

[01:06] <Scunizi> ScottG: disk usage analyser
[01:06] <Martin31> gogeta: i got an error "Error: /home/martin/Setup.exe is not supported archive"
[01:07] <Titan8990> Martin31, looks like you are trying to install a windows program in the wrong os
[01:07] <OttifantSir> ScottG: The command to launch it is baobab, the name in the menu is Disk Usage Analyser under Accessories
[01:07] <Dr_Willis> I love how MS apps always use the inffomative name of 'setup.exe'
[01:07] <Martin31> Titan8990: im trying to get drivers out of a Setup.exe file because obviously i cant install that in ubuntu
[01:08] <Titan8990> Martin31, what driver?
[01:08] <Martin31> Titan8990: for a Netgear WG111v2 wireless network adapter
[01:09] <Titan8990> Martin31, what does lspci say the chip is?
[01:09] <Titan8990> Martin31, it is doubtful you need ndiswrapper + the windows driver
[01:09] <sephy> How exactly do I get widgets?
[01:10] <Martin31> Titan8990: i dont think lspci will work because its a usb device
[01:10] <Titan8990> Martin31, lsusb
[01:10] <Titan8990> !screenlet | sephy
[01:11] <sephy> thanks alot
[01:11] <Martin31> Titan8990: this is what it gives me "NetGear, Inc. WG111 WiFi (v2)"
[01:11] <Titan8990> metacity (gnome) also supports compositing now
[01:12] <Martin31> Titan8990: let me explain what my problem is: i can connect with the device and it works, but the network speeds cut out at a max of 90kb/s, even on lan transfers
[01:13] <Goodie> whois Goodie
[01:13] <Goodie> :P
[01:13] <r4ban> are there any tools that can help me recover data from unreadable usb flash sticks
[01:13] <cabrey> Goodie, /whois
[01:13] <Titan8990> Martin31, yeah, i just checked, terrible linux compatibility
[01:13] <erxin> whats the easiest way to connect to my desktop from another network ?
[01:13] <Martin31> Titan8990: so i should get a new usb device ?

[01:13] <Goodie> cabrey: Iknow :P
[01:13] <Goodie> window 1
[01:13] <cabrey> erxin, what do you mean by connect?
[01:13] <Martin31> Titan8990: and where did you check, i searched everywhere
[01:13] <Titan8990> Martin31, I would personally
[01:14] <erxin> i want to take control of my desktop from another location/network
[01:14] <Titan8990> Martin31, i found a couple posts on linuxquestions.org
[01:14] <Martin31> Titan8990: okay thanks, how can i know what usb device works well with linux ?
[01:14] <cabrey> !vnc | erxin
[01:14] <Titan8990> Martin31, alfas are usb, and very popular these days
[01:15] <magnetron> pumpkinseed: make sure you are setting your output into "headphones" mode and not "line out" mode
[01:15] <Titan8990> Martin31, good compatibility, very good reception, and injection support
[01:15] <Bookman> something weird is happening to my system today and I'm not sure how to troubleshoot.  Everything was going fine when sudenely all froze up.  No mouse, no keyboard.  I hard rebooted and then it would not restart.  The Caps Lock and Scroll lock LEDs just flashed.  I tried again and it rebooted but now it boots to 100% cpu usage.  Also, when I start up XChat, it is blue themed.  Evolution is also blue themed and w
[01:15] <Bookman> ill not run. Just starts up and goes grey.
[01:15] <Martin31> Titan8990: do you have their website link ?
[01:15] <pumpkinseed> magnetron - could you elaborate
[01:16] <duckwars> is there any way to make an external drive always be a certain /dev/sd?? after a reboot?
[01:16] <magnetron> pumpkinseed: usually this is a toggle called "output amplifier" or similar. enable it in the mixer (first enable to display it, then enable to use it)

[01:16] <tronixor> hello
[01:17] <Titan8990> Martin31, they can be found for sale on ebay and amazon
[01:17] <bruenig> LewisSharp: protip: anything that is not specifically ubuntu related and also advanced is typically dealt with better on other channels
[01:17] <Martin31> Titan8990: okay thanks for the help :)
[01:17] <Titan8990> Martin31, no problem
[01:18] <LewisSharp> Ah, noted. Thanks for telling me.
[01:18] <tronixor> i installed ubuntu on my usb drive  and now everytime i start the computer i must choose between ubuntu and vista  and if i dont have the ub drive  nothing boots at all it y error how do i change vista to first boot
[01:18] <l7> hmm, is ad-hoc networking supposed to "just work" with 9.04?  because it doesn't
[01:19] <l7> ad-hoc wifi that is
[01:19] <Titan8990> tronixor, change the boot order in your bios
[01:19] <pumpkinseed> I got it. It was not that "External Amplifier" was unchecked, it was because "IEC958 Optical Raw" was checked and needed to be unchecked.
[01:19] <Titan8990> tronixor, or if the mbr was actually written to the internal drive, you will need to do some work on the mbrs
[01:20] <bruenig> tronixor: editing the menu.lst in /boot/grub will fix the boot order
[01:21] <Titan8990> bruenig, if you read close i think the problem actually is that nothing will boot and he is looking at the solution being a changed boot order
[01:21] <harksaw> I just installed a new sound card, and I went under "Sound Preferences" and set everything to "ICEnsamble ICE1724 IEC1724 IEC958 (ALSA)" This works for most things, like Totem, but for my volume control and for VLC I've tried all the options and none of them work
[01:21] <tronixor> kk i try... you mean when i choose  the different os  i can edit them 2?
[01:21] <bruenig> Titan8990: he said nothing boots at all when he doesn't have the usb plugged in
[01:22] <harksaw> The volume control applet, and VLC do not have the "ICEnsamble ICE1724 IEC1724 IEC958 (ALSA)" option  - How do I get it there?
[01:23] <ha> my notebookcan i do?? is asus and i use ubuntu 8 04 no sound or graphic can be displayed on it what
[01:24] <gogeta> Titan8990: super grub live cd to fix it?
[01:24] <mazda01> i am getting an error in tovid. tovid use to work in Hardy Heron, yhen I upgraded to Jaunty and now I get an error, tovid can't find the .mpg. I can't seem to find anything on gogle
[01:24] <bruenig> !pm | tronixor
[01:24] <ha> my notebook?? is asus and i use ubuntu 8 04 no sound or graphic can be displayed on it what can i do
[01:24] <Bookman> Now evolution finally quite trying to start, but my cpu is still running 100%...after 15 minutes of run time
[01:25] <OttifantSir> @ha: Try a live-CD of 8.10 or 9.04 first and see what that does
[01:25] <Dr_Willis> Hmm
[01:26] <l7> Bookman: did you try running top to see what is using up so many CPU cycles?
[01:26] <ha> do you think that new versions will fix these problems
[01:26] <Bookman> l7: xorg is the top user
[01:26] <Bookman> 10%
[01:27] <l7> 10% is a little high, but not very abnormal.  what else is running?
[01:27] <OttifantSir> @ha: Maybe. If it does, it's a rather easy fix to do an upgrade. If not, there's something else wrong
[01:27] <l7> often firefox + flash and javascript will eat up a lot of CPU
[01:27] <ha> thanks
[01:27] <Bookman> l7: it goes beyond that.  no firefox, just xchat
[01:28] <Bookman> l7: and why upon reboot is xchat now blue themed
[01:28] <pablo---> adobe's flash 10 codec need lot of cpu clock, i have the same issue
[01:28] <pablo---> i think that is inevitable
[01:28] <Bookman> l7: evolution lost my email folders completely
[01:28] <coleys> flash just sucks =p nuff said.
[01:28] <l7> Bookman: blue themed? maybe it's the KDE theme?
[01:28] <Bookman> l7: i'm in gnome
[01:29] <coleys> Bookman: Change your gtk theme?
[01:29] <Bookman> nope
[01:29] <Bookman> just running along, then total freeze up
[01:29] <Bookman> reboot and all hell has broken loose
[01:29] <cabrey> Bookman, any I/O errors?
[01:30] <pablo---> Bookman, your computer total freeze up?
[01:30] <Bookman> yup, solid
[01:30] <bruenig> Bookman: can you get to a term?
[01:30] <Bookman> No, it rebooted fine
[01:30] <pablo---> try rebooting using alt+petsys and presing R E I S U B
[01:30] <bruenig> Bookman: can you get to a term?
[01:30] <Bookman> sure
[01:31] <pablo---> too see if kernel is working fine when your computer freezes up
[01:31] <alex_dinamo> I have a wifi card and my video card sharing the same IRQ (18)  I suspect that is causing me trouble
[01:31] <OttifantSir> @Bookman: You have had something happen that's happened to me too. The blue theme is Tango, the fallback theme when something goes wrong. And you're probably not in YOUR user session, but guest session
[01:31] <bruenig> Bookman: what happens when you try to launch things from the terminal
[01:31] <bruenig> any output?
[01:31] <bruenig> I imagine this is gtk oriented
[01:31] <bruenig> otherwise, it wouldn't apply to all of these various apps
[01:32] <Bookman> Offifantsir: I'm in my session
[01:32] <OttifantSir> @Bookman: Then you're slightly better off than I've been.
[01:33] <bruenig> OttifantSir: appending things with @ is pretty obnoxious
[01:33] <jared__> us
[01:33] <Bookman> bruenig: I launched nautilus.  launched ok.  no output
[01:33] <Bookman> But it is also "blue themed"
[01:34] <bruenig> Bookman: launch the problem apps
[01:34] <Bookman> and looks "crude" or ten years old
[01:34] <OttifantSir> So, bruenig, please explain to me why that is.
[01:34] <bruenig> also, try launching apps as root, perhaps there is some strange configuration issues in your home dir
[01:34] <Amerigo> Is there any Linux support for Cybernet Touchscreen monitors?
[01:34] <Bookman> bruenig: but how can that be when I was just running along fine?
[01:34] <alex_dinamo> anyone here who knows about IRQs and that stuff?
[01:35] <bruenig> Bookman: configurations change all the time
[01:36] <OttifantSir> bruenig, please get back to me and explain your statement.
[01:36] <karaeska> alex_dinamo: IRQ or IRC?
[01:36] <bruenig> OttifantSir: everyone else simply types the name followed by a comma or colon. So yours is obnoxious in that context
[01:36] <alex_dinamo> karaeska: IRQs, hardware interruptions
[01:38] <OttifantSir> Still don't see why it is a problem. And you are the first to comment on it. I've started recognizing names in this channel, people "always" on, and they haven't said anything about it.
[01:39] <Bookman> ok, fresh reboot.  Nothing else started but XChat.  100% cpu usage
[01:39] <Bookman> Now I start System Monitor.  Load is 5.21
[01:40] <manu_> hi
[01:40] <Bookman> Every window is blue
[01:40] <intok> one last time anyone know why I can't get K3B to use more then 16 chars when I have selected 103 char limit in advanced settings?
[01:40] <sephy> SDIGFVKSJDFHC
[01:40] <sephy> Does linux not support split archives or what?
[01:40] <sephy> I'm trying to extract these files and CRC keeps failing and I'm getting way annoyed.
[01:40] <OttifantSir> intok: As K3b is a KDE-app, maybe try #kubuntu?
[01:40] <manu_> are you all english?¿?
[01:41] <OttifantSir> manu: I'm Norwegian
[01:41] <racarter> does anyone know a good color picker program for linux?
[01:41] <manu_> everybody is englis?¿?
[01:41] <racarter> as in i want to know what color is on the screen. most likely the hex value of the color
[01:41] <intok> cause I'm using it in regular ubuntu as I always have as it usualy is the better burner then brasero and gnome baker
[01:41] <jrib> racarter: gimp?
[01:42] <racarter> ?
[01:42] <racarter> how?
[01:42] <jrib> racarter: take screenshot...
[01:42] <racarter> mac has a small built in utility for this
[01:42] <racarter> there must be something for linux?
[01:42] <Amerigo> Need help with touchscreens.
[01:42] <jrib> racarter: what's wrong with gimp...?
[01:43] <racarter> it's slow
[01:43] <racarter> i don't want to take a screenshot of anything
[01:43] <jrib> !who | racarter
[01:43] <OttifantSir> racarter: Open Add/Remove and type "color" in the search bar. Among the top 5 is some color pickers
[01:43] <racarter> ubottu, right
[01:43] <yaboo> other than pidgin what other im software does facebook also?
[01:44] <torshido> sorry for the dumb question, but I see that Edubuntu 9.04 is an add-on now? Do I need the CD or can I do apt-get install edubuntu over a Ubuntu Desktop?
[01:44] <Pici> yaboo: gwibber
[01:44] <Pici> yaboo: although thats not really IM software.
[01:44] <OttifantSir> racarter: Or search in Synaptic for color picker
[01:44] <manu_> what is better¿? ubuntu or xubuntu¿?
[01:44] <Joker_-_> how to change the resolution of an ATI Rage 128??? I'm stuck at 800x600 and it's a 64mb video card. It can defenitly do better than this.
[01:44] <Pici> !best | manu_
[01:44] <eidolon> hey has anyone ever gotten bluetooth headphones working against an ubuntu  Jauntyu install?  i have a built in BT adapter, and it looks like it 'sees' the headphones, but i can't get sound to route to it.
[01:44] <Bookman> Anything else to try here, or just install a different O/S.
[01:44] <majnoon> <-- has *buntu
[01:44] <Joker_-_> I have googled forever but couldnt find anything "up to date"
[01:44] <yaboo> Pici what is IM software then?
[01:45] <intok> I even asked in #k3b and for 2 hours now still have no reply, linux community seems to suck at help desk compared to the Mac guys at least, unless you ask them anytihng about OSx86
[01:45] <Pici> yaboo: gwibber is for twitter/identica/facebook statuses
[01:45] <OttifantSir> manu: Depends on your expectations and knowledge and hardware.  :S
[01:45] <jrib> koshi: what exactly do you want to do?
[01:45] <Pici> !info gwibber | yaboo
[01:46] <koshi> jrib: remove a package
[01:46] <manu_> i have a notebook  1gb ram and 1,6 Gh of cpu?
[01:46] <Joker_-_> ATI Rage 128 (r128), stuck at 800x600, need input, thank you very much.
[01:46] <mazda01> no one uses tovid? I am getting an error after upgrading. It says it can't find the encoded.mpg file during the multiplexing stage. I found something that says to add the -keefiles and -force options but I am not sure where to add the options. ANy help please.
[01:46] <jrib> koshi: so this is on an install different than the one you are currently using?
[01:46]  * Amerigo needs help
[01:47] <koshi> jrib: I'm running off live cd now
[01:47] <OttifantSir> intok: Even though you use it in Gnome, doesn't mean you can't get an answer in #kubuntu if you try
[01:47] <agntdrake> so I upgraded to 9.04 and I've noticed that compiling stuff now takes about twice as long and tends to lock my machine up for brief periods of time
[01:47] <jrib> koshi: why can't you just load the regular install and remove it then?
[01:47] <agntdrake> were there a lot of scheduler changed from 8.04 to 9.04?
[01:47] <sebsebseb> !details |  Amerigo
[01:47] <yaboo> Pici ubottu thanks will look at it
[01:47] <xkkc> Hey there. Any suggestions for speeing up the Flash Player (version 10, not from the repos) on Ubuntu? I'm an experienced Unix user who's mighty afraid they're going to have to install *Windows* for someone who needs flash player. And I don't want to have to do that. ):
[01:48] <koshi> jrib: I installed a graphics driver, and I can't see anything when I boot it up. Oh, I can get terminal tho
[01:48] <koshi> I guess I'll do that
[01:48] <jrib> koshi: just use the terminal to edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:48]  * koshi writes down.
[01:48] <dethredic> Hey guys, I just enabled my wireless driver in the hardware manager, but it says "it's activated but currently not in use". How do I use it?
[01:48] <Kalmi> xkkc, are you running the 32 bit flash player on a 64 OS?
[01:49] <koshi> jrib: ty very much
[01:49] <Amerigo> sudo nvidia-settings
[01:49] <hosified> join #ubuntu-server
[01:49] <xkkc> Kalmi: Uh, no.
[01:49] <OttifantSir> dethredic: Have you done a reboot?
[01:49] <Kalmi> xkkc, no idea than, sorry...
[01:49] <greensimian> Hey gang
[01:50] <dethredic> OttifantSir, yes I have
[01:50]  * Amerigo needs help.
[01:50] <OttifantSir> !ask | Amerigo
[01:50] <Bookman> anyone with ideas on why my system would become so unstable instantly?
[01:51] <Amerigo> How do I get my touchscreens calibrated?
[01:51] <OttifantSir> dethredic: Which chipset does the wireless use?
[01:51] <Kalmi> Bookman, new kernel? hw acting funny? hdd dieing? memory errors?
[01:51] <Bookman> I don't want to reinstall Linux yet again.  That is why I got away from Windows
[01:51] <dethredic> OttifantSir, Broadcom BCM4328
[01:52] <OttifantSir> dethredic: Which driver did you install? b43-fwcutter or Broadcom STA?
[01:52] <Kalmi> Bookman, you could try an older kernel... What have you changed lately?
[01:52] <Bookman> Kalmi: nothing new....running just fine then freeze.  Reboot and now a nightmare
[01:53] <Kalmi> Bookman, by nightmare you mean...?
[01:53] <dethredic> OttifantSir, Broadcom STA
[01:53] <koshi> jrib: that file just looks like this http://pastebin.com/m11b01bfd
[01:53] <Bookman> Kalmi: theme is all messed up.  Now blue.  Evolution lost my email folders completely
[01:53] <greensimian> I am pretty hep to my Unbuntu box, but I am looking for an RSS screensaver like my Mac has.  anyone seen it?
[01:53] <Bookman> 100% cpu usage upon boot up
[01:53] <fireun> CUPS+Gutenprint or Foomatic?
[01:54] <jrib> koshi: then it should be using the default video driver afaik
[01:54] <Kalmi> Bookman, blue? that's not even the default...
[01:54] <dethredic> OttifantSir, and I have activated it
[01:54] <Bookman> Kalmi: exactly
[01:54] <Bookman> Kalmi: I use the defaults always.  Including the background
[01:55] <Kalmi> Bookman, you are using ext3, right?
[01:55] <Bookman> Kalmi: yup
[01:56] <OttifantSir> dethredic: Strange. I use that on my Broadcom card, and it's working like a charm. Try de-activating it and install b43-fwcutter. If you can't do it in Hardware Drivers, do "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter" (without quotations), then run "b43-fwcutter" (again, no""), see if that solves the problem. If it doesn't ask again, and someone else will help you blacklist the driver (if needed) and troubleshoot further.
[01:57] <Kalmi> Bookman, what process is using the CPU?
[01:57] <gartral> I updated Ubuntuone today.. but i STILL cant get it too auto connect on login >.<
[01:58] <Bookman> Kalmi: nothing shows up....just xorg
[01:58] <fission6> i have windows xp, and no blank disks to burn ubuntu on, is there a way i can download it and install? i have about 7gb partion i am not using
[01:59] <gartral> fission6: you need an ISO burning tool... like cdrtools frontend
[01:59] <jrib> !install | fission6
[01:59] <paracelsus> If you want to Install Ubunut on Windows and have no CD burner you might want to consider Wubi
[01:59] <fission6> cdrtools?
[01:59] <Kalmi> !wubi | fission6
[01:59] <karaeska> fission6: You can try Ubuntu by virtual machine
[01:59] <gartral> fission6: www.cdrtfe.sourceforge.net
[01:59] <gartral> erm, take the www. part off
[02:00] <paracelsus> Yea, either wubi or a VM is a good route if you have no burner or want a small footprint, etc.
[02:00] <Kalmi> or you install from USB (easy)
[02:00] <fission6> nah i'd like to offical boot into unbuntu, windows is pissing me off with viruses
[02:00] <Kalmi> *could
[02:00] <OttifantSir> He just hasn't got any media. He's got the hardware, but not the media to burn a CD.
[02:00] <fission6> OttifantSir exactly
[02:01] <charlie458> hi, every so often in ubuntu when i boot up, the sound is really low, rebooting sets it back to normal, but kinda inconvenient, i tried sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart but it doesn't work
[02:01] <soreau> fission6: Booting from usb is an option if your bios supports that
[02:01] <Kalmi> fission6, have you got a pendrive?
[02:02] <fission6> ok so whats my best option here, i'd like to download ubuntu to my partion i am not using, and somehow install there and boot into ubuntu
[02:02] <fission6> no external media available
[02:02] <gartral> fission6: thats a normal install... grab the iso for your computer type and burn it using cdrtools
[02:02] <paracelsus> Well, Wubi will boot indepedent of Windows but runs off a virtual filesystem contained on the NTFS partition. A vm would be easier to move at a later point, but will require (at least for now) you to run it atop windows.
[02:03] <fission6> I DO NOT have any cds, unless you mean emulate it
[02:03] <paracelsus> Wubi is a pretty good option as that way you don't have to start Windows at all.
[02:03] <gartral> fission6: ok, ok, no need too yell, sorry :)
[02:03] <sephy> Want to know something absolutely LAME
[02:03] <sephy> Ubuntu bricked my PSP
[02:03] <oakmac> my Sansa is not automatically mounting; how can I mount it manually?
[02:03] <paracelsus> So any instability present in Windows will not plague you as it may if you try running Ubuntu as a VM
[02:03] <gartral> !ot | sephy
[02:04] <fission6> id like to have a boot
[02:04] <gartral> oakmac: what kind of sansa?
[02:04] <jrib> oakmac: does other stuff mount automatically/
[02:04] <paracelsus> Sansa: if it has a UUID can you add a line for it in /etc/fstab?
[02:04] <oakmac> Sandisk Sansa e200 (i think, it might be a e250)
[02:04] <gartral> i had too edit parts of gphoto to get my e250s to mount
[02:05] <oakmac> it has mounted previously; the upgrade to 9.04 had this problem
[02:05] <Bookman> Kalmi: any ideas or am I just beat here.
[02:05] <oakmac> jrib: other things mount correctly
[02:05] <Kalmi> Bookman, you could run "sudo top" to find processes not fully listed in systemmonitor
[02:05] <gartral> oakmac: were seeing same issue, ok, one sec, let me figure out where the file is
[02:05] <jrib> oakmac: switch the mode your sansa uses to switch files and try again?
[02:05] <oakmac> jrib: it's set in the USB portable storage mode
[02:05] <Bookman> Kalmi: I do that and the only thing that takes up big cpu cycles (10%) is xorg
[02:05] <jrib> oakmac: switch the mode your sansa uses to switch files and try again?
[02:06] <gartral> jrib oakmac go ahead and try, but i doubt it will help
[02:06] <Kalmi> Bookman, you said that there was "100% cpu usage"
[02:06] <Bookman> Kalmi: yup.  system monitor shows 100%
[02:07] <Bookman> Kalmi: hard drive is working like crazy
[02:07] <fission6> i think ill try wubi
[02:07] <blackest_knight> does the gateway address on a router have to be on the wan port or could it be on a lan port  essentially the router would be providing dhcp and wireless services and pointing the other lan clients to the gateway
[02:07] <fission6> thanks for the recommedation
[02:07] <Kalmi> Bookman, and top as root shows nothing?
[02:07] <oakmac> it's still having the same problem
[02:07] <oakmac> switched to other mode, plugged it in (nothing happens), switched back to USB mode (nothing happens)
[02:08] <oakmac> this used to work fine in 8.10; any ideas?
[02:08] <jrib> oakmac, gartral: my sansa has always mounted since I had it.  On a firmware upgrade it stopped because the transfer mode had been switched
[02:08] <dethredic> OttifantSir, thank man that worked great!
[02:08] <gartral> oakmac: ok in termial put locate 20-libgphoto2.fdi
[02:08] <Bookman> Kalmi: I will try a reboot and try again.  but why is everything blue and crude looking?  In the windows.  Background and icons are fine.
[02:09] <oakmac> it's in /usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/10osvendor/20-libgphoto2.fdi
[02:09] <gartral> oakmac: ok, gksu gedit /usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/10osvendor/20-libgphoto2.fdi
[02:09] <jrib> gartral, oakmac: gphoto shouldn't even be involved if it's being mounted as MSC
[02:10] <oakmac> ok, i'm in there; it's an XML file
[02:10] <gartral> jrib: I know, but it is classified by gphoto as a camera, not a media player... and it causes weird stuff too hapen
[02:10] <OttifantSir> dethredic: I'm as surprised as you. Usually Broadcom is a lot harder to do.
[02:11] <gartral> oakmac: ctl-f and find Sansa E200
[02:11] <jrib> gartral: bug 363101 ?
[02:11] <Kalmi> Bookman, it seems that a few things got corrupted... probably just user-level things... because other things weren't open for writing at the time of the freeze...
[02:11] <Bookman> Kalmi: ok, so the fix is?
[02:11] <oakmac> gartral: found it
[02:12] <gartral> jrib: i didnt know there was a bug report on it, all i know is oakmac is the 4th person ive helped with the issue :)
[02:12] <gartral> oakmac: delete the blovk
[02:12] <gartral> block*
[02:12] <Kalmi> Bookman, well... you could delete the gnome releated hidden folders in your home directory to get back the default...
[02:12] <j0ker> 안녕하세요
[02:12] <Bookman> Kalmi: you know what?  I just switched to another user and it is fine
[02:13] <Kalmi> Bookman, told you... user-level
[02:13] <Bookman> Kalmi: ok, but does that mean that my evolution email is toast?
[02:13] <oakmac> gartral: ok
[02:14] <gartral> oakmac: ok, now you can save and close the file, and restart your comp (the easy way) or run /ect/init.d/hal restart and replug your sansa
[02:14] <Bookman> Kalmi: and which are the gnome hidden folders?
[02:14] <j0ker> Oh .. there is other server
[02:14] <JPSman> how do I get SDL.h?
[02:15] <j0ker> Im korea ubuntu user :)
[02:15] <Pici> !ko
[02:15] <Scunizi> Tang soo do!
[02:16] <oakmac> gartral: i saved the file, restarted hal, and reconnected, still not mounting
[02:16] <blu3_b4ll5> what is that..korean?
[02:16] <j0ker> !ko
[02:16] <oakmac> gartral: do i need to restart X for some reason?
[02:16] <Scunizi> blu3_b4ll5: the way of the open hand
[02:16] <gartral> oakmac: no, it wasn't hal, sorry...
[02:16] <blu3_b4ll5> lol
[02:17] <blu3_b4ll5> the way of eating rotten eggs and threatening global super powers
[02:17] <Scunizi> blu3_b4ll5: at least that's one translation.. it's also a form of karate
[02:17] <gartral> oakmac: just reboot, i cant remember the command to restart gphoto's detection service right at the moment
[02:17] <oakmac> gartral: ok, rebooting
[02:17] <oakmac> grr... i never use gphoto
[02:18] <blu3_b4ll5> blu3_b4ll5: thanks for the info
[02:18] <Kalmi> Bookman, I would delete ~/.gconf and ~/.gconfd ...
[02:18] <oakmac> back in a few
[02:18] <blu3_b4ll5> ooops
[02:18] <Scunizi> got it
[02:18] <Bookman> Kalmi: will it rebuild those?
[02:18] <Scunizi> :)
[02:18] <gartral> oakmac: it somehow thinks it's part HAL...
[02:18] <Kalmi> Bookman, yes
[02:18] <Dulak> Scunizi: you sure you don't mean way of the intercepting fist?
[02:18] <Drknezz> !firefox3.5 > Drknezz
[02:18] <Bookman> Kalmi: lets see!
[02:18] <Pici> !ff35 > Drknezz
[02:18] <Scunizi> :) .. also known as flat bloody nose Dulak
[02:18] <Pici> !ot
[02:19] <Drknezz> lol Pici, that was fast, nice
[02:19] <Scunizi> sorry Pici
[02:19] <cjae> So do I have this right. lvm sort of encases other file systems eg. ext 3/4,  just like extended logical partitions encase the last primary partition to allow more partitions?
[02:20] <Kalmi> Bookman, and these too...: .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity
[02:20] <fireun> did everything the brother install doc said, printer still aborts job after warming up
[02:20] <fireun> I dont know what installing jaunty did, but I'm pretty upset with Ubuntu
[02:21] <fireun> my camera, printer, and accel 3d is broken
[02:21] <fireun> and I had to switch back to bash
[02:21] <ubuntu> I have messed up my ubuntu 9.04 install by changing the video card with binary drivers installed (ati) to nvidia card. I have tried running sudo dpkg-configure xserver-org and also -a but it still boots to blank screen.
[02:21] <sam555> hello all!
[02:21] <gartral> ubuntu: sudo aptitude purge fglrx
[02:22] <tsrk_> what are the modules in the right column of lsmod?
[02:22] <fireun> ubuntu: if its an older ati radeon, you're only hope is the open source drivers
[02:22] <sam555> just installed ubuntu server 9.04 32 bit version
[02:22] <sam555> during the install, I requested that mysql be installed
[02:22] <sam555> how does one get mysql to start manuall upon boot up?
[02:22] <ubuntu> gartral: thank you, will try that now
[02:22] <sam555> is there documentation specific for ubuntu server 9.04 re: mysql?
[02:22] <dunks> it should by default sam555
[02:22] <gartral> fireun: he install an NVidia card without removeing the ATI drivers first
[02:22] <Dr_Willis> sam555:  thers some service commands to enable/disable services
[02:22] <Dr_Willis> !upstart | sam555
[02:23] <OttifantSir> cjae: The way I have understood LVM is that you bunch a group of discs together to make a larger disc of them. Such that if you have 2 500GB drives and want to have 1 800GB drive and 2 100GB drives, the information is spread across the two drives. But there is no redundancy and no safety in LVM. Lose one disc, lose it all.
[02:23] <Bookman> Kalmi: ok, now everything is still blue and crude looking
[02:23] <sam555> thanks dunks and Dr_Willis
[02:23] <Kalmi> Bookman, have you logged off and back in?
[02:23] <kandinski> I copied my /home directory over to this laptop from another computer, and now my keyboard does not work under X (notably the f keys). How can I restore it to default values? I am running jaunty.
[02:23] <Bookman> kalmi, it just switched
[02:23] <Kalmi> Bookman, log off and log bakc in
[02:24] <cjae> OttifantSir, thanks for responding
[02:24] <Bookman> Kalmi: will do
[02:24] <Dr_Willis> kandinski:    gnome has its settings in .gnome* and .gconf* you coumd move/rename those dirs (but you will loose all ghe gnome settings), as a test you could just add a new user and see if the keyboard works properly for them
[02:24] <fireun> how could 9.04 break basic printing?
[02:24] <OttifantSir> cjae: Just wish I had had a few more external disks to back up my LVM. I had 3TB of data. All gone after I lost the LVM-config files.
[02:25] <sagaci> is there a GUI tool to manage ports?
[02:25] <Dr_Willis> sagaci:  manage in what ways?
[02:25] <sagaci> open a few ports up
[02:25] <cjae> OttifantSir, shibby
[02:25] <mattgyver[L]> Is it possible to temporarily change the window manager from compiz to metacity upon a SSH VNC connection, then switch back after logoff?
[02:25] <Dr_Willis> sagaci:  they should be open.. if you have a service thats running on them.. theres no firewall rules by default.
[02:25] <mazda01> tovid can't finish because it can't find encoded.mpg file. anyone know anything about this error?
[02:25] <Dr_Willis> !firewall | sagaci
[02:26] <sagaci> thanks
[02:26] <OttifantSir> mattgyver: install fusion-icon. I don't use it, but as I have understood it, it turns Compiz on and off
[02:26] <coleys> mattgyver[L]: Or you can just use a script.
[02:26] <Bookman> Kalmi: ok, theme is good now...thanks, but all needs to be reset, correct?  Like evolution?
[02:27] <adam7> mattgyver[L]: you can run metacity --replace or compiz --replace to change the window managers, I think
[02:27] <cellofellow> mattgyver: just put a launcher on the panel with `metacity --replace` and label it "Compiz Off", and another launcher called `compiz --replace` and label it "Compiz On".
[02:27] <mattgyver[L]> OttifantSir, I use fusion icon however im looking for something i dont have to mess with, coleys ive thought about a script as well, but wasnt sure if something existed
[02:27] <fireun> I've looked thru the /var/log/cups/ files and nothing indicates cups has an issue with printing - but after blinking a few times and warming up, my brother 2040 just go back to a solid idle led as if it finished printing
[02:27] <Bookman> Kalmi: cpu near zero
[02:28] <cellofellow> mattgyver[L]: or you can make a sophisticated script that will detect which is running and launch the other.
[02:28] <fireun> I've tried reinstalling the drivers, the ones in apt are the same as listed on the brother website - no change
[02:28] <coleys> mattgyver[L]: http://pastebin.com/f1edf6780
[02:28] <coleys> (That script will work)
[02:28] <phpDEMON> guys i have a question
[02:29] <coleys> !question | phpDEMON
[02:29] <kandinski> Dr_Willis: thanks, I will look inside .gnome* and .gconf*, and replace comonents piecemeal till I get it to work
[02:29] <cellofellow> fireun: maybe the proprietary TurboPrint CUPS drivers will work.
[02:29] <Kalmi> I don't know how Evolution handles corrupted files... If it doesn't start, you could delete its files....
[02:29] <fireun> cellofellow: I had it working just fine in Intrepid before I upgraded
[02:29] <Kalmi> Bookman,
[02:29] <cellofellow> fireun: :(
[02:30] <mattgyver[L]> Those are all very good suggestions but is there a way to incorporate that into running as soon as a client connects via SSH, like an init file that could be edited to run the script
[02:30] <phpDEMON> Why does the xpad driver not sync up with wine on Jaunty
[02:30] <fireun> cellofellow: yeah, another strike against Jaunty
[02:30] <Bookman> Kalmi: yes
[02:30] <cellofellow> mattgyver[L]: might be something that ~/.ssh/config can do for that. man ssh_config.
[02:30] <Dr_Willis> kandinski:  test with a new user.. if the thing dont work with a totally new user.. you got bigger issues
[02:30] <mattgyver[L]> cellofellow, great, thanks for the hot tip ';)
[02:30] <Kalmi> Bookman,  I don't know how Evolution handles corrupted files... If it doesn't start, you could delete its files....
[02:30] <oakmac> gartral: i removed /usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/10osvendor/20-libgphoto2.fdi and it works now
[02:31] <oakmac> gartral: thank you for your help :)
[02:31] <coleys> Bookman: sudo rm -rf ~/.evolution/
[02:31] <mubu> Any word on when firefox 3.5 will be released to the ubuntu (jaunty) repositories? Thanks
[02:31] <coleys> !ff35
[02:31] <Dr_Willis> mubu:  it allready is
[02:31] <gartral> oakmac: ok, just dont expect some cameras to work now :)
[02:31] <OttifantSir> coleys, mattgyver: That script seems halfway there. It stops Compiz, but I think he wants to start an SSH session after stopping Compiz and wake it back up when the session ends.
[02:31] <oakmac> gartral: i don't even own a camera ;)
[02:31] <mubu> Dr_Willis, Thats weird, when i open the update manager and check for updates it doesnt show up in the list... it says my system is up to date...
[02:32] <gartral> oakmac: i have one of the Kodak Easyshare crap cams
[02:32] <coleys> OttifantSir: For VNC or..?
[02:32] <Dr_Willis> mubu:  its not a required update.
[02:32] <Dr_Willis> mubu:  like the bot said...            is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5
[02:32] <Bookman> coleys: or just move to trash in nautilus
[02:32] <Pici> mubu: its a different package name, see ubottu's message above.
[02:32] <coleys> Bookman: oy?
[02:32] <OttifantSir> coleys: Ask mattgyver. That's just what I seemed to gather was his wishes
[02:33] <sam555> sysadmin@Kserver2:/etc/mysql$ mysqladmin -u root password newpassword
[02:33] <coleys> mattgyver[L]: What do you want =P? I think we need that cleared up...
[02:33] <sam555> mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
[02:33] <phpDEMON> When i play a windows game using wine, why isnt the X360 controller layout the same as on windows? i am running Jaunty and have the latest xpad driver. any help would be appreciated
[02:33] <sam555> error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)'
[02:33] <mubu> Dr_Willis, do i have to add any repos , or will sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 do the trick?
[02:33] <sam555> Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists!
[02:33] <sam555> sysadmin@Kserver2:/etc/mysql$ cat /etc/mysql/my.cnf
[02:33] <FloodBot3> sam555: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:33] <sam555> [mysqld]
[02:33] <coleys> phpDEMON: Search "playonlinx" at google.
[02:33] <CyberSix> haha, flooder
[02:34] <phpDEMON> ok i will, thank you coleys
[02:34] <coleys> LOL.
[02:34] <djlenoir> Ok, tried the "sudo apt purge fglrx" to remove the ati binary drivers. That did remove them apparently but I still ended up with no display after boot. I am using the the live cd to be on here (got to love that).
[02:35] <sam555> still having problems with mysql and ubuntu server 9.04
[02:35] <sam555> any good tutorials on this?
[02:36] <Hilikus> how do i replace the icon of ff3.5 ??
[02:36] <djlenoir> As a reminder this was a result of changing from ati to nvidia graphics card without removing ati binary drivers first.
[02:36] <OttifantSir> djlenoir: If you're like me, you've probably deleted all the video-drivers you thought you didn't need, right? If so, do "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-all" to reinstall them. It *MIGHT* solve it.
[02:37] <Hilikus> where do i permanently change mysqld niceness?
[02:37] <djlenoir> OttifantSir: worth a try, I will give that a shot now.
[02:37] <djlenoir> OttifantSir: thanks
[02:38] <Bookman> Kalmi: ok, seems to be working fine now!  Thanks for the help.  I have to setup a few things all over again.  I'd love to know what happened and how to avoid it though.
[02:38] <Vantrax|Work> anyone know of an open source equivalent to Symantec Ghost?
[02:38] <coleys> Vantrax|Work: cp ~/ /media/disk/
[02:38] <jrib> Vantrax|Work: guess: partimage since I don't know what ghost does
[02:38] <JPSman> What EXACTLY is an API?
[02:39] <TwoToneSpirit> Hey everybody - does anybody know what software powers ubottu and the other bots?
[02:39] <OttifantSir> Hilikus: System -> Preferences -> Main Menu -> Internet -> Shiretoko <right-click> <left-click> on the icon, browse to /usr/share/pixmaps/ press Open, and choose an icon
[02:39] <maxmiiim> JPSman, you may also try google or wikipedia for this information.
[02:39] <jrib> TwoToneSpirit: ubottu is a supybot, floodbots are php (gag)
[02:39] <JPSman> max, I have.  Its still a bit fuzzy for me
[02:39] <sam555> how do you know if you already have upstart installed?
[02:39] <coleys> JPSman: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=api
[02:40] <JPSman> Is it all the functions that are specific to another kind of program that one can use in a programming language?
[02:40] <Martin31> http://i28.tinypic.com/np0sc6.png can someone help me with that ? I want to be able to connect to the network with the linksys adapter
[02:40] <TwoToneSpirit> jrib:  THanks.  :-)  Does a supybot also log channel activity?
[02:40] <Hilikus> OttifantSir: that one already has the right icon, but when you open it it goes back to the other one
[02:40] <Pici> coleys: Please don't do that, it is not helpful.
[02:40] <jrib> TwoToneSpirit: i'm sure it can (they have an irc channel)
[02:40] <coleys> Pici: More helpful then you think =)
[02:41] <Pici> coleys: Not in a support channel.
[02:41] <coleys> Especially in a support channel =o
[02:41] <JPSman> Coleys: I have, and the wiki article isn't too explicit
[02:41]  * Aranel I'm back =)
[02:42] <Pici> Aranel: Please don't do that.
[02:42] <Aranel> Pici: oops, sorry :) just i forgot it and used /ame
[02:42] <coleys> Pici: Do you even have a say? Honestly this a support channel where people volunteer =P
[02:43] <maxmiiim> so actually there is no way to have wireless network working on toshiba nb200 netbook on ubuntu? sad. i was about to try ubuntu studio :(
[02:43] <vox> coleys: so dont volunteer to be the village idiot.
[02:43] <Martin31> http://i28.tinypic.com/np0sc6.png can someone help me with that ? I want to be able to connect to the network with the linksys adapter
[02:43] <m4rt11> hello can anyone help me with an external hard drive issue?
[02:43] <tsimpson> vox: please keep it friendly in here
[02:44] <coleys> vox: Heyy budddd, if you want to go offtopic head over to...
[02:44] <coleys> !ot
[02:44] <JPSman> lmgtfy is also rude and impersonal.  Is it really that much to ask to interact with others?  Start a conversation?  ya know, be a human?
[02:44] <mubu> I just installed firefox 3.5 with "sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5", hower it doesn`t show up under Applications, Internet... it doesnt seem to replace firefox 3.0.11. What should i do ? Thanks (Im using ubuntu 9.04)
[02:44] <vox> tsimpson: i am. he needs to know that whilst this is a volunteer channel, his method of "help" is not warrented.
[02:44] <OttifantSir> Hilikus: I don't know how I did it, honestly, but my laptop has FF3.5 and no 3.0.11. I downloaded a package from Mozilla with it, tried to install it, but I didn't get it right, I know that much. Next time I started FF, it upgraded to 3.5
[02:44] <shamanWM> be a human ??
[02:44] <coleys> JPSman: Lol, honestly I help more people then you know here. =P Its not really rude unless you take it that way, and that is your problem =)
[02:45] <m4rt11> i connected an external hard drive of mine and it so turns out that not all files are visible
[02:45] <m4rt11> i even checked the hidden files
[02:45] <m4rt11> and some are still missing
[02:45] <coleys> m4rt11: What are you specifically looking for?
[02:46] <Martin31> http://i28.tinypic.com/np0sc6.png can someone help me with that ? I want to be able to connect to the network with the linksys adapter
[02:46] <m4rt11> coleys: im looking for a solution as to what can help me recover all my files from this hard drive i have
[02:46] <coleys> Martin31: lspci |grep -i network (Pastebin results for me) =)
[02:47] <coleys> m4rt11: What has been misplaced?
[02:47] <Martin31> coleys: will do, 2 sec
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> m4rt11: Also - what filesystem?
[02:47] <m4rt11> coleys: personal files including data from work
[02:47] <coleys> m4rt11: hmm, yeah which fs? Fat?
[02:47] <Martin31> coleys: http://pastebin.com/m700ed4a6
[02:47] <m4rt11> im checking right nwo
[02:48] <coleys> Martin31: Uhh, hardware drivers doesn't offer a wifi driver?
[02:48] <m4rt11> coleys: hfsplus
[02:48] <Martin31> sorry coleys, im a noob, just installed ubuntu yesterday
[02:48] <Martin31> coleys: do i have to install the linksys wifi drivers in ndiswrapper ?
[02:48] <Dr_Willis> !hfs
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. ive never seen any tools to 'recover' hfs filesystems/files/repair them
[02:49] <coleys> Martin31: No worries, uhh. System > Administration > Restricted Drivers.
[02:49] <coleys> Martin31: Check to see if there is Broadcom STA or some sort there.
[02:49] <Martin31> coleys: i dont have that option
[02:49] <Hilikus> where do i permanently change mysqld niceness?
[02:49] <Martin31> coleys: i have hardware drivers
[02:49] <NaCl> !version
[02:49] <m4rt11> coleys: hfsplus thats the file system i have right now
[02:50] <Martin31> coleys: and in Hardware Drivers it says Broadcom B43 wireless driver is installed
[02:50] <coleys> m4rt11: Uhh I believe Dr_Willis has more information regarding your situation.
[02:50] <coleys> Martin31: Have you restarted?
[02:50] <Dr_Willis> coleys:  actually thats about all i know on the topic. My Mac is now a large doorstop..
[02:50] <Martin31> coleys: nope, guess i should try that then, be right back :P
[02:50] <coleys> Dr_Willis: Ubuntu ftw =)
[02:50] <coleys> Martin31: =)
[02:50] <coleys> Martin31: good luck =P Should be quick and easy fix =P
[02:51] <Martin31> coleys: hopefull
[02:51] <m4rt11> Dr_Willis: can you help me with my situation?
[02:51] <OttifantSir> coleys is working super-pace ATM. Someone should give him a relaxing beverage, such as a beer
[02:51] <Dr_Willis> m4rt11:  i dont use apple machines any more. if the dirve is mounted and you can access some files.. but not all.. its possible they got moved somewhere.. use the find command to 'search' the whold drive perhaps
[02:52] <mubu> I just installed firefox 3.5 with "sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5", hower it doesn`t show up under Applications, Internet... it doesnt seem to replace firefox 3.0.11. What should i do ? Thanks (Im using ubuntu 9.04)
[02:52] <Dr_Willis> m4rt11:  is this a portable hard drive? (what size) or a flash drive?
[02:52] <Dr_Willis> mubu:  it does NOT replace 3.0.11
[02:52] <Dr_Willis> !ff35
[02:52] <coleys> OttifantSir: Got one allready =) Another wouldn't hurt though =!
[02:52] <zaltekk> does the ubuntu desktop kernel have different patches than the server kernel?  maybe preemption is different?
[02:52] <Dr_Willis> mubu:  and like the bot says the icon name is 'shiretoko'
[02:53] <OttifantSir> coleys: All I got is Carlsberg, will that do?
[02:53] <Dr_Willis> its under applictions-> internet here.
[02:53] <Hilikus> mubu: it does show up, its just not called firefox, for some reason
[02:53] <coleys> OttifantSir: I'll stick with my Canadian ;)
[02:53] <mubu> Dr_Willis, Wow, thanks, thats weird... Shiretoko.. Will, ff 3.5 eventually replace 3.0.11 in jaunty or will we have to wait for the next ubuntu release... ?
[02:53] <Dr_Willis> $ firefox<tab> --> firefox
[02:53] <Dr_Willis> firefox      firefox-3.0  firefox-3.5
[02:54] <Dr_Willis> mubu:  no idea..im not really worried about it.. If i want FF3.5 i wull launch ff35
[02:54] <Hilikus> mubu it wont be offician il  janty
[02:54] <zaltekk> Dr_Willis: the binary name is usually the same, it is just "rebranded" in the app and on your desktop icon
[02:54] <coleys> Dr_Willis: Compile ftw =D
[02:54] <Dr_Willis> mubu:  for now many of my extensions do NOT work in 3.5 so  i am using 3.0.11
[02:54] <Martin31> coleys: thanks, it worked like a charm :)
[02:55] <Dr_Willis> Im not sure why everyone is bending over backwards and acting rabbid to get FF3.5
[02:55] <m4rt11> Dr_Willis: its a 251gb ext hard drive, and i checked each folder including the hidden ones, i did do the 'find' command under terminal and it pointed out the same folders that i see on the hdd. however when i highlighted everything on nautilus it said its about 92mb when it mentions that theres only 92gb left
[02:55] <zaltekk> Dr_Willis: it has much better performance
[02:55] <coleys> Martin31: No thanks necessary =p You did it all ...
[02:55] <lwells> Dr_Willis: Firefox 3.5 is still in beta for ubuntu right?
[02:55] <Dr_Willis> zaltekk:  i cant really tell.
[02:55] <mubu> Dr_Willis,  Ill tell you why, porn mode baby! haha just half-kidding
[02:55] <coleys> Yeah, I don't really care about most bleeding edge of firefox, does the same thing =P
[02:55] <Dr_Willis> lwells:  thats what im hearing.
[02:55] <zaltekk> i can with windows.  i haven't tried it in linux
[02:55] <Pici> lwells: no. Its the final version.
[02:55] <Pici> !ff35
[02:56] <Hilikus> lwells: its not in beta
[02:56] <th0r> Dr_Willis: ff35 is much faster than 3.0 in rendering pages
[02:56] <Dr_Willis> m4rt11:  so you have somehow lost a few 100gb of data?
[02:56]  * Dr_Willis wonders how one actually benchmarks  browser speeds...
[02:56] <m4rt11> Dr_Willis: excatly
[02:56] <lwells> Hilikus: But you cant just upgrade it
[02:56] <coleys> Firefox 3.0.1 goes plenty fast enough =P
[02:57] <th0r> Dr_Willis: by how long it takes to load /.
[02:57] <Dr_Willis> m4rt11:  you dont have more then 1 partition do you? This was a drive used on an apple machine?
[02:57] <Hilikus> lwells: for them technically it's not an upgrade. its a new release
[02:57] <Hilikus> so you have both in tandem
[02:57] <m4rt11> no there is no other partition on this, also it was used on an apple machine
[02:57] <coleys> Hilikus: Refering to us =o?
[02:57] <lwells> Hilikus: On my Mac it is an upgrade, it is just so confusing
[02:57] <audiotopie> hello
[02:57] <Mike^> hi, getting Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 when trying to update packages, anyone ever see this?
[02:57] <coleys> !hi
[02:58] <Hilikus> lwells: it is confusing and i'm not very happy with ubuntu's decision, but there's nothing we can do
[02:58] <lwells> Hilikus: So that is not going to change in the future?
[02:58] <fission6> i am having trouble loading the .iso i downloaded http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/
[02:58] <fission6> mount keeps failing in windows
[02:58] <m4rt11> Dr_Willis: no other partition on this and it was used on an apple machine but it cannot mount on it, but it so happened to mount on my ubuntu box
[02:58] <coleys> fission6: Have you verified its integrity using md5sum?
[02:58] <Hilikus> it will, in koala it will be the default one
[02:58] <lwells> Koala?
[02:59] <Hilikus> they only upgrade major releases in new releases of ubuntu
[02:59] <fission6> no
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> m4rt11:  sounds like some filesystem curruption going on. It may be safest to  check wht the mac peoples on what filesystem repair tools they have.
[02:59] <coleys> Koala is next version?
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> !koala
[02:59] <coleys> Ahh.
[02:59] <m4rt11> Dr_Willis: can you direct me to a good irc help chat?
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> m4rt11:  not really.. try #osx or #apple (i am just guessing)
[03:00] <Hilikus> where do i permanently change mysqld niceness?
[03:00] <Dr_Willis> m4rt11:  i have very little love for apple.
[03:00] <Dr_Willis> :)
[03:00] <coleys> Dr_Willis: =D
[03:00] <coleys> You make me feel good about not buying one +D
[03:01] <sivel27> hello all
[03:01] <Mike^> hello
[03:02] <Mike^> anyone ever see this error code:  Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1?
[03:02] <OttifantSir> Hilikus: Try taking a look at this site: http://www.forwardyouth.com/ubuntu/set-the-nice-level-of-an-existing-process/ and adjust the command such that you do mysqld -nice <nice-level> on startup.
[03:02] <InFeCtOrS> speak spanish ?
[03:02] <SpacePigeon> hi, does anybody know about an application like unetbootin but that is not so slow?
[03:03] <Kalmi> !spaish | InFeCtOrS
[03:03] <SpacePigeon> !es | InFeCtOrS
[03:03] <Kalmi> !spanish | InFeCtOrS
[03:03] <Dr_Willis> SpacePigeon:  pendrivelinux.com has guides on making bootable flash drives from iso's
[03:03] <sivel27> this is driving me crazy.... im on jaunty, and everything runs beautifully up until today, when all of my window decorations disappeared. not allowing me to move them nor minimize them. i dont run any desktop effects, and my video is builtin intel g33
[03:03] <SpacePigeon> Dr_Willis, but for windows?
[03:03] <Dr_Willis> SpacePigeon:  i found unetbootin rather speedy. Expecially when compared to the usb-drive-creator tool in ubuntu
[03:03] <InFeCtOrS> thanks
[03:03] <Dr_Willis> SpacePigeon:  check the url.. it has tutorial for window and linux
[03:04] <Dr_Willis> SpacePigeon:  it took longer to copy over the 'persistant save file'  then it todo the 'install' to the flash drive.
[03:04] <Kalmi> sivel27, could you try starting metacity from a terminal?
[03:04] <sivel27> one sec. lemme boot up
[03:07] <fireun> I cant believe Jaunty broke my printer support - I swear I'm installing redhat next time
[03:09] <sivel27> hmm, from the term, how do i start metacity?
[03:09] <Kalmi> sivel27, metacity
[03:09] <Kalmi> :)
[03:09] <sivel27> hmm, not installed
[03:10] <Kalmi> hmm
[03:10] <sivel27> unable to open x display
[03:10] <duckwars> is there anyway to get an external USB hard drive to always come up as sdc2 or something after every reboot?
[03:11] <th0r> sivel27: what window manager is running?
[03:11] <sivel27> gnome
[03:11] <TwoToneSpirit> !pysqlite
[03:11] <moymoy> duckwars: it depends how many devices you have plugged in
[03:12] <th0r> sivel27: no...wiindow manager...compiz, metacity, ?
[03:12] <duckwars> I have 2 devices plugged into 2 seperate USB ports, they aren't splitting a USB port
[03:12] <th0r> sivel27: you should be able to find it in the process list (ps ax)
[03:12] <moymoy> duckwars: they're still devices plugged in
[03:13] <sivel27> i just had a random reboot...when i look in
[03:13] <duckwars> yea
[03:13] <Kalmi> duckwars, why do you need this? you could use guids in fstab
[03:14] <moymoy> duckwars: i'm guessing you have 2 harddrives and 2 USB's plugged in?
[03:14] <sivel27> the bootup is raking FOREVER
[03:14] <sivel27> taking
[03:14] <duckwars> right, in my fstab I have to say /dev/sdd2 ~/Harddrive
[03:14] <zaltekk> sivel27: your file systems are being checked for errors
[03:14] <djlenoir> back on my netbook this time. no video after installing nvidia graphics adapter without removing ati binary drivers. have removed the binary drivers now but no video. ubuntu is loading (i think) but the screen stays blank.
[03:14] <zaltekk> this is normal
[03:15] <djlenoir> at netroot right now
[03:15] <zaltekk> djlenoir: try removing all of the binary drivers and then reinstall the nvidia ones
[03:15] <duckwars> but the problem is, whenever the computer reboots each hard drive is given a differnt /dev/sd(letter)(#)
[03:16] <zaltekk> duckwars: use the guids in the fstab as Kalmi said
[03:16] <djlenoir> zaltekk: is there a cmd to remove all binary drivers?
[03:16] <zaltekk> then they won't change anymore
[03:16] <Kalmi> !fstab > duckwars
[03:16] <moymoy> duckwars: No, they don't change on reboot.. i've never seen it change on reboot
[03:16] <djlenoir> zaltekk: did purge fglrx already
[03:16] <zaltekk> djlenoir: you'll need to use a package management tool to remove them
[03:16] <Kalmi> zaltekk, zaltekk: sorry... they are called UUID and not guid
[03:17] <duckwars> oh....
[03:17] <zaltekk> Kalmi: ah, well, similar term :P
[03:17] <sivel27> hmm... as far as i can tell, its gnome
[03:17] <sivel27> lemme check again
[03:17] <djlenoir> man, i wish there was just a boot to vga mode with ubuntu... like when it first loads
[03:18] <zaltekk> djlenoir: uninstall the binary ati drivers and the binary nvidia drivers
[03:18] <th0r> sivel27: you can't run metacity if, for instance, compiz is running. If metacity is running, and you WANT metacity, you can restart it by just killing it, it should restart automatically.
[03:18] <zaltekk> then install the nvidia ones again
[03:18] <djlenoir> zaltekk: i will google how to do that
[03:19] <th0r> sivel27: if you don't see either compiz or metacity in the ps ax list, try running metacity with sudo
[03:19] <OttifantSir> djlenoir: there is a "safe graphics" mode on start-up. Google that too, I don't remember how to enable it right now
[03:19] <djlenoir> OttifantSir: thanks, will google that also
[03:19] <Kalmi> th0r, he got no window decorations
[03:20] <sivel27> yup, that fixed it! thanks, now how do i add it to startup like that?
[03:20] <th0r> Kalmi: right, either he isn't running a window manager or the one he is running is corrupted somehow

[03:20] <LLStarks> can someone teach me how to force a compilation to give a resulting binary a certain name?
[03:21] <billybigrigger> someone want to kick/ban erratic ??
[03:21] <billybigrigger> that definitely deserves it :P

[03:22] <moymoy> was that a facebook link?
[03:22] <billybigrigger> nope
[03:23] <Mike_lifeguard> Is chromium available in a deb package?
[03:23] <billybigrigger> mikael79_, ppa
[03:23] <billybigrigger> Mike_lifeguard, ^^
[03:24] <Mike_lifeguard> billybigrigger: sure, but which one? I've never been able to find a sensible way to search for ppas :\
[03:24] <billybigrigger> i've just gotten into them in the karmic dev cycle myself
[03:24] <billybigrigger> i just look to see which one looks most active, or have them sent to me from other people
[03:25] <Efrain> damn that was a nasty link from erratic

[03:28] <moymoy> billybigrigger: can it be found in the repos?
[03:28] <twois10> any ati hd series gpu users here
[03:28] <Guiri> Anyway to install an indexer like tracker or beagle without GUI/Gnome reqs?
[03:28] <twois10> hd4800 series

[03:29] <moymoy> !minefield
[03:29] <blu3_b4ll5> I isntalled Chromium by accident yesterday.  I was trying to install that google web browser lol
[03:29] <billybigrigger> moymoy, PPA :P minefield is codename for firefox 3.6
[03:29] <causasui> anyone here good with virtualbox? I'm having a problem installing:  Got this error when installing from the repository, using Ubuntu 9.04 amd64: "Unable to find a precompiled module for the current kernel!" How can I fix this?
[03:30] <moymoy> billybigrigger: ahh i see
[03:30] <Guiri> Isn't Chromium the only incarnation of Chrome avail on Linux now anyway?
[03:30] <causasui> sorry, "the repository" is the virtualbox private repository, not multiverse
[03:30] <Guiri> Maybe Chrome Dev has been packaged
[03:30] <moymoy> Guiri: yes.. and it's shaping up pretty well
[03:30] <Guiri> Anybody on getting beagle/tracker without gnome reqs?  I had a quick question. I would like to install Ubuntu on an older mac laptop (an iBook G4). Which version of Ubuntu is best to install?
[03:31] <OttifantSir> twois10: Yes, much better question.
[03:32] <sebsebseb> DecioGaeta: YellowDog  Linux maybe,   Ubuntu maybe,  and so it goeso n
[03:32] <Kalmi> Guiri, Chromium is an open source browser project. Google Chrome is a browser from Google, based on the Chromium project.This is a build of Chromium. No versions of Google Chrome for Linux will exist until Google makes an official release.
[03:32] <KR8L> causasui: Think I had this happen once. Details of the error msg said to reinstall, I did, it worked.
[03:32] <th0r> DecioGaeta: on older hw you might want to consider xubuntu
[03:32] <causasui> KR8L: The error tells me to "install a kernel module"
[03:32] <sebsebseb> DecioGaeta: how much RAM?
[03:32] <DecioGaeta> xubuntu?
[03:32] <DecioGaeta> and 512 MB of RAM.
[03:32] <sebsebseb> !ubuntu |  DecioGaeta
[03:32] <DecioGaeta> :(
[03:33] <sebsebseb> DecioGaeta: ok you don't need Xubuntu and that's just a cut down version of Gnome anyway pretty much
[03:33] <th0r> DecioGaeta: ubuntu with xfce instead of gnome or kde
[03:33] <sebsebseb> !xubuntu |  DecioGaeta
[03:33] <twois10> OttifantSir, [22:26] <twois10> anyone able to compile ati drivers, fglrx with kernel 2.6.30 yet?
[03:33] <UnagiLinux> quick question, i have a Dell Latitude D620 and the entire left side runs very hot running Ubuntu, is there any way i can force the fans to highspeed and keep then there?
[03:33] <twois10> that was my first question
[03:33] <DecioGaeta> Thank in advance everyone.
[03:33] <sebsebseb> th0r:  DecioGaeta for   less than 512MB RAM,   or less than 256MB RAM,  I would say Puppy Linux
[03:33] <CorpX> does ubuntu come with an ftp program by default?
[03:33] <Mike_lifeguard> What's the package for epiphany called?
[03:33] <DecioGaeta> I'm just curious which versions/releases would be best as well.
[03:33] <DecioGaeta> Does it matter?
[03:34] <sebsebseb> th0r  DecioGaeta    less than 256MB RAM, and Puppy Linux ype
[03:34] <Kalmi> Mike_lifeguard, epiphany-browser
[03:34] <DecioGaeta> Cause the distro has to be compatible with the chipset, correct?
[03:34] <sebsebseb> DecioGaeta: there is no such thing as a best Linux distribution
[03:34] <sebsebseb> DecioGaeta: or a best anything
[03:34] <Mike_lifeguard> Kalmi: thanks
[03:34] <tech0007> !poll
[03:34] <th0r> sebsebseb: I was thinking more about the video and cpu than the ram
[03:34] <DecioGaeta> Ok. Thanks everyone.
[03:34] <thatscottfoster> hello all
[03:35] <sebsebseb> DecioGaeta: http://www.distrowatch.com is a good website for finding out about the distros, and  there are also  at least two good Linux distribution chooser quizes online, that help you pick a distro
[03:35] <thatscottfoster> i am having a problem with my install
[03:35] <KR8L> causasui: Sorry, I don't recall any other details, and don't have VB on this computer.
[03:35] <sebsebseb> !details |   thatscottfoster
[03:35] <Kalmi> !question | thatscottfoster
[03:35] <causasui> :)
[03:36] <duckwars> how can I, from terminal, make the gui startup?
[03:36] <OttifantSir> DecioGaeta: Compare it with cars. Which is the "best" car? I love the '74 Carrera Slant Nose, someone loves the Hummer, someone the Suburban, someone the Smart, and so on and so on. The "best" would be the car that fills your need and driving habits. As such, there is no ONE "best" car, but MANY "best car".
[03:36] <zaltekk> does the ubuntu desktop kernel have different patches than the server kernel?  maybe preemption is different?
[03:36] <zaltekk> duckwars: type startx
[03:37] <duckwars> thing is, I'm remotely logged in, and I need it to actually put the desktop image on the monitor
[03:37] <sebsebseb> zaltekk: I don't know, but  the  server kernel is better for servers, such like the netbook one is better for netbooks, and just like the desktop one is better for desktops
[03:37] <duckwars> just runnign startx doesn't do that
[03:37] <thatscottfoster> well i installed the new version of ubuntu about an hour ago and ran all of the updates and towars the end of the list the cpu restarted and now i am at the command screenand it will not start up
[03:37] <sebsebseb> zaltekk: Desktop Linux as they call it being both  desktops and lap tops that aren't netbooks
[03:37] <macman_> whats a good hosting site .. im about to delete this windows but i have to backup some files
[03:38] <zaltekk> macman_: if you want a _real_ hosting site, try nearlyfrespeech.net
[03:38] <zaltekk> it is very cheap(cost-wise)
[03:38] <th0r> duckwars: you need to use a vncserver, did you install one?
[03:38] <sebsebseb> zaltekk: such like, just like,  above
[03:38] <zaltekk> duckwars: you aren't going to be able to do that via ssh unless you have an X server on the ssh-client's system
[03:38] <macman_> free hosting
[03:38] <zaltekk> sebsebseb: that oesn't tell me much..
[03:38] <mazda01> anyone use tovid?
[03:38] <blackest_knight> sebsebseb:  i wouldnt agree netbook kernels are not necessarilly good for netbooks especially if you use reiserfs for example
[03:39] <duckwars> th0r: that's the thing, I want to be able to start a vncviewer so I can control the desktop, but it won't let me unless the actually desktop is showing on the realy physical monitor
[03:39] <zaltekk> macman_: you could always use rapidshare or such
[03:39] <mazda01> i am getting an error that it can't find encded.mpg.
[03:39] <twois10>  anyone able to compile ati drivers, fglrx with kernel 2.6.30 yet?
[03:39] <sebsebseb> blackest_knight: right well I don't have a netbook, but what I do know is that hardly anyone uses that file system on a netbook
[03:39] <macman_> zaltekk im about to wipe windows .. i jsut want to upload 5 files that are zipped so when i wipe i can go to the website and just retrive them
[03:39] <th0r> duckwars: you start the vncserver on the remote machine with 'vncserver:1' and then you should be able to get in on port 5801 or 5901
[03:39] <blackest_knight> duckwars:  use ssh duckwars@yourserver -X
[03:40] <bazhang> macman_, how does this relate to Ubuntu
[03:40] <macman_> bazhang im going to put ubuntu onto this computer
[03:40] <djlenoir> ok, i think i removed all the binary drivers but i think my xorg.conf file is not right. my vdieo card is seen as device0 and driver was nvidia but i manually changed it to nv. still did not help though.
[03:40] <macman_> i want to backup whats on there right now
[03:40] <th0r> blackest_knight: can you fetch the entire desktop via X forwarding? I only used it for individual windows
[03:40] <blackest_knight> sebsebseb:  I do i also use nano which someone thought was good to drop from netbook version as wel
[03:40] <bazhang> macman_, that is offtopic here. please ask elsewhere
[03:40] <sebsebseb> blackest_knight: really it's not in the netbook version
[03:41] <sebsebseb> ?
[03:41] <djlenoir> is there a way to manually create xorg.conf file?
[03:41] <Devon_C> hey guys, I'm having some trouble with opening my ports and Transmission. I went into my router configuration using my default IP in my browser and opened both the listening port and the browsing port but it still says its closed. is there anything else I have to do?
[03:41] <zaltekk> macman_: again, you could use rapidshare.
[03:42] <tech0007> macman_: www.adrive.com
[03:42] <sebsebseb> blackest_knight: well I used to use  shut down and log out  in the system menu, really happily  since the   second  release of Ubuntu in 2005,  but also in Fedora Core 2  and 4 in 2004,   but  then they thought it would be a great idea to remove those and have only the thing on  the top right of the panel
[03:42] <blackest_knight> sebsebseb:  it was dropped out the version i tried i just use std desktop ubuntu now , just like i used on my 1.4 celeron laptop with 756meg , on my 1.6 1.5 gig netbook
[03:43] <Jeruvy> thatscottfoster: did you upgrade from command line, or did you reinstall?  Can you explain more detail?  What error is showing when it didn't start properly?
[03:43] <ctmjr> djlenoir, did you remove the nvidia driver?
[03:43] <sebsebseb> blackest_knight: nano dropped in netbook version that's a bit odd I think,   since it's just a command line app
[03:44] <zaltekk> djlenoir: you probably want to create the xorg.conf file by running "X -configure" as root
[03:44] <djlenoir> i think i did, i ran sudo apt-get remove fglrx
[03:44] <zaltekk> fglrx is not the nvidia driver
[03:44] <ctmjr> djlenoir, that is for ati what video card do you have
[03:44] <blackest_knight> sebsebseb: it was just an apt-get away but the reiserfs support that needed a new kernel
[03:44] <histo> is there a way to restart the sound system?
[03:44] <histo> Or do I have to restart X
[03:45] <zaltekk> ctmjr: i believe he just changed out with ati card for an nvidia card.  he said that he installed the nvidia binary drivers without first removing the ati binary drivers, and is having problems getting X started
[03:45] <zaltekk> what he needs to do is remove both and then reinstall the nvidia ones
[03:45] <Kalmi> histo, kill pulseaudio and than start it in a terminal
[03:45] <Kalmi> *then
[03:45] <djlenoir> ctmjr: i have an nvidia card now. i originally had an ati card and did not remove the binary drivers first. thought that cmd removed them manually.
[03:46] <ctmjr> zaltekk, ouch yes i believe your correct
[03:46] <sephy> Do I need a special lib or something to open split rar files?
[03:46] <hermano__> alguem aqui de joao pessoa?
[03:47] <sebsebseb> !es Z|  hermano__
[03:47] <sephy> Everytime I open a rar file it'll extract for awhile
[03:47] <sephy> then fails
[03:47] <sebsebseb> !es  |  hermano__
[03:47] <sephy> and I've downloaded the files 2 times now
[03:47] <djlenoir> ii was using nano to look at my xorg.conf file and i don't think it is right.
[03:47] <hermano__> alguem aqui fala portugues?
[03:47] <sebsebseb> !pr |  hermano__
[03:47] <hermano__> brasil
[03:47] <ctmjr> djlenoir, how did you install the ati driver and the nvidia driver
[03:47] <Jeruvy> sephy: no, what failure?
[03:47] <zaltekk> djlenoir: did you generate one with "X -configure"?
[03:47] <sebsebseb> !br  |  hermano__
[03:47] <jared__> When I type: mysql -u root into terminal i get this error: "Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[03:48] <hermano__> !br
[03:48] <sephy> It's always a CRC failure, Jeruvy
[03:48] <hermano__> #ubuntu-br
[03:48] <djlenoir> ctmjr: downloading the ati file from ati.amd.com and running it basically.
[03:48] <histo> Kalmi: pulseaudio isn't runnning and there is no pulseaudio
[03:48] <Jeruvy> sephy: then something is happening to the file during download that is corrupting them. the only option is to delete and try again
[03:48] <hermano__> como entro no canal brasileiro
[03:48] <sephy> GAH
[03:48] <sephy> ok
[03:48] <zaltekk> sephy: if you have a split rar and try to extract just one part of the split, you will get CRC errors on the files that spand past the beginning or ending of the split file
[03:48] <djlenoir> ctmjr: downloading the ati file from ati.amd.com and running it basically./
[03:48] <Jeruvy> sephy: or the rar is corrupt to begin with
[03:48] <Kalmi> histo, what are you trying to restart than?
[03:49] <OttifantSir> sephy: Is it rar-files with extensions like .part1, .part2, etc? If so, there's usually one with an extension of .rar you should open and extract from, then it will do the the rest as follows
[03:49] <sephy> then how can I extract them both so i dont get the crc failed..
[03:49] <djlenoir> zaltekk: you mean running sudo dpkg-config xserver-xorg?
[03:49] <Kalmi> histo, restarting X won't restart ALSA
[03:49] <histo> Kalmi: I'm trying to get my sound working again with out restarting the whole machine.
[03:49] <zaltekk> no djlenoir
[03:49] <zaltekk> i mean to run
[03:49] <zaltekk> X -configure
[03:49] <SpacePigeon> hi
[03:49] <m0u5e> hey guys, how do I install only one package from ubuntu proposed (ff3.5)
[03:50] <Kalmi> histo, try this: sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[03:50] <zaltekk> stop your X server, and run that command as root
[03:50] <SpacePigeon> how do i mount a drive forcing it to be read-write instead of read-only? I can see no switch on the drive to choose between
[03:50] <sephy> s0325.part1of2.rar and s0325.part2of2.rar
[03:50] <m0u5e> i don't want to enable the entire repos, only install firefox3.5
[03:50] <djlenoir> zaltekk: trying that now
[03:50] <Jeruvy> sephy: the compress tool is smart enough to seek out the proper files, so the error is telling you something is missing
[03:50] <th0r> m0u5e: via synaptic
[03:50] <Dulak> enabled the repo, install the package, disable the repot
[03:50] <zaltekk> sephy: usually split rars are named .rar and .rXX
[03:50] <Dulak> repo even
[03:50] <m0u5e> th0r: but wont i have to enable to repository?
[03:50] <tsimpson> m0u5e: enable it, install the package, then disable the repo
[03:50] <m0u5e> tsimpson: theres no easy way? like downloading the package from the web?
[03:50] <th0r> m0u5e: yup, proposed
[03:51] <histo> Kalmi: thanks worked like a chram.
[03:51] <histo> charm
[03:51] <sephy> Im way annoyyed... It's 1.1gb and I've downloaded it twice
[03:51] <sephy> to try and fix it
[03:51] <m0u5e> th0r do you know the url?
[03:51] <tsimpson> m0u5e: not unless you want to resolve all the dependencies manually
[03:51] <zaltekk> sephy: rename them properly
[03:51] <Jeruvy> sephy: been there.  Best to try a different source.
[03:51] <zaltekk> if it is a real split archive, it won't be detected in that way
[03:51] <th0r> m0u5e: proposed is in the list in synaptic if i remember right
[03:51] <djlenoir> zaltekk: it ran and i ran X using the .new file that was created. now i have a blinking cursor in top left corner.
[03:51] <sephy> how exactly should I rename them?
[03:51] <zaltekk> okay. just press Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace
[03:52] <zaltekk> then type mv /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:52] <OttifantSir> sephy: The first one should be .rar , the second one should be .r01
[03:52] <zaltekk> then as a normal user type startx
[03:52] <jared__> Hey guys, I'm getting an error when I type: mysql -u root into terminal, the error reads: ERROR 1045 (2800): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[03:52] <djlenoir> zaltekk: ok will do that
[03:52] <sephy> ok. ill try this
[03:52] <Kalmi> !dontzap
[03:52] <th0r> m0u5e: look under updates in synaptic
[03:52] <paul____> hello
[03:52] <paul____> I have a problem...
[03:53] <m0u5e> th0r: list?
[03:53] <zaltekk> sephy: like OttifantSir said.  and with the name before the .rar and .rXX being the same
[03:53] <zaltekk> as in a.rar and a.r01
[03:53] <OttifantSir> !ask | paul____
[03:53] <m0u5e> th0r: do i need to enable jaunty-proposed to do this?
[03:53] <sephy> extracting... -crosses fingers-
[03:54] <th0r> m0u5e: I think that is where it is....
[03:54] <ctmjr> zaltekk, if he installed the drivers from the ati web site he needs to uninstall them with their uninstall script
[03:54] <th0r> !ff35
[03:54] <paul____> oh okay sorry I'm not getting audio on crunchbang linux.  I know it's not exactly ubuntu but it's based on ubuntu so I'm wondering if you guys could help me out
[03:54] <jared__> Hey is there another channel to get help with Ubuntu I don't think anyone here knows the answer to my question.
[03:54] <mothdragon> hey guys, can anyone tell me what the white x on an icon in the file browser mean?
[03:54] <zaltekk> ctmjr: correct.  the package management tools will only remove pacakges they installed
[03:54] <bazhang> paul____, you should ask in crunchbang channels or forums

[03:55] <bazhang> jared__, what question
[03:55] <paul____> alrighty then.
[03:56] <ctmjr> zaltekk, i must have joined in the middle of you helping him sorry
[03:56] <zaltekk> ctmjr: i told him in general what to do, and i think he tried something and then came back.
[03:56] <jared__> Bazhang, when I type "mysql -u root" into terminal. I get the following error: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[03:56] <djlenoir> ok, did that and rebooted but it looks like black screen still. i appreciate the help you guys are giving me. wife needs me now, bbiab
[03:56] <jared__> I am relatively certain that for whatever reason, it's letting me sudo as root without a password
[03:56] <gartral> Galeon, Kazehakase, Firefox, and Seamonkey all crash after an hour or so... and its anying >.<
[03:56] <jared__> and this is causing me to not have access
[03:57] <m0u5e> hmm so firefox 3.5 isn't even in jaunty-proposed
[03:57] <jared__> I need to be able to put my password in for my temporary root session instead having it just let me do it with no password
[03:57] <ARMENIAN1> when i run airoscript it tells me that airodump isn't available even though i installed aircrack-ng
[03:57] <zaltekk> jared__: i think ubuntu disables the root account and as such doesn't have a password for root.  although i'm not 100% sure what they actually do.
[03:57] <Kalmi> !root
[03:57] <jared__> I currently do have a password set so I don't know how it's even possible that it's bypassing the need of a password when i type "sudo -i", it used to require one
[03:57] <zaltekk> you might want to google how to fix the root account and see if that fixes your problem
[03:58] <jared__> Well earlier when I did it (like earlier today)
[03:58] <zaltekk> jared__: that is controlled by the sudoers file
[03:58] <jared__> it did require a password
[03:58] <Kalmi> jared__, what you are lookijng for is "sudo -s"
[03:58] <tsimpson> sudo -i and sudo -s are similar in function
[03:58] <zaltekk> it determines if you need an sudo password, if that password is the root password or your user password, and for how long you can go without having to retype the password
[03:58] <sephy> Wow....
[03:59] <sephy> Ok, so all those time it fails
[03:59] <sephy> to I install winrar under wine
[03:59] <sephy> and it extracted just fine
[03:59] <poseidon>  I can't seem to get the wireless card to work
[03:59] <Jeruvy> !enter | sephy
[03:59] <zaltekk> sephy: there is a rar program for linux from rarsoft(who makes winrar)
[03:59] <jared__> would the fact that i don't currently need to type the password matter
[03:59] <poseidon> It's a d-link dwa-130
[03:59] <jared__> as far as access goes
[03:59] <zaltekk> jared__: that would depend on _why_ you don't have to type in the password
[03:59] <jared__> I don't understand why I am denied access as 'root'@'localhost' I mean it seems like i should have the privelages
[04:00] <zaltekk> didn't it tell you the password was the reason?
[04:00] <djlenoir> ok, did that and rebooted but it looks like black screen still. i appreciate the help you guys are giving me. wife needs me now :P
[04:00] <jared__> That's my opinion of the error message
[04:00] <OttifantSir> Strange. I have had problems with files in WinRAR, but they've opened in archive-manager
[04:00] <djlenoir> darn this netbook can be irritating at times... weird key layout
[04:01] <Mike_lifeguard> jared__: also, if you provide a password for sudo/gksudo, it will remember it for a time - that's configurable somehow
[04:01] <Kalmi> jared_: google: mysql ubuntu root password
[04:01] <djlenoir> meant to say back, didn't want to irritate the wife because i would never get my video fixed
[04:01] <poseidon> Does anyone know of a way I could get my wireless card to work?
[04:02] <Jeruvy> !wifi | poseidon
[04:02] <TheNewGuy1> I am using the latest ubutu, how can I tell how much hard drive space I have left on my linux partition?
[04:02] <n8tuser> fdisk -l
[04:02] <blackest_knight> poseidon:  ndiswrapper madwifi ect
[04:03] <OttifantSir> TheNewGuy1: Open your home folder and look at the lower status line. Usually says how much space is left
[04:03] <djlenoir> ctmjr: i saw you mention that i needed to remove the ati drivers. can that be done from a command prompt or is the purge fglrx enough?
[04:03] <gartral> TheNewGuy1: fdisk -l (thats an L) or just open your Home dir and check the status bar at the bottom of nautilus
[04:03] <TheNewGuy1> What is fdisk-L?
[04:03] <TheNewGuy1> do I type that in terminal?
[04:04] <KB1JWQ> TheNewGuy1: Depends upon what you're attempting to destroy. :)
[04:04] <deww> fdisk -l, not fdisk-L
[04:04] <gartral> TheNewGuy1: fdis -l (case sensative) is a command to put into terminal the reports trhe free space availible on your partitions
[04:04] <TheNewGuy1> =-O
[04:04] <ctmjr> djlenoir, no not if you installed from the ati web site you need to cd /user/share/ati then      sudo   sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh
[04:05] <TheNewGuy1> UM....  fdisk in windows formats the drive... you guys messing with me? :-(
[04:05] <OttifantSir> TheNewGuy1: Just open Places -> Homefolder and check the status line at the bottom
[04:06] <TheNewGuy1> ok, so fdisk-l will reformat the disk?
[04:06] <OttifantSir> No
[04:06] <mazda01> gartral, it's sudo fdisk -l. and it shows you the partition table. df -h will show you free space.
[04:07] <OttifantSir> TheNewGuy1: It will list your drives and partitions. Open Places -> Homefolder and check the status line at the bottom of the windows
[04:07] <mazda01> TheNewGuy1, no i wont
[04:07] <mazda01> TheNewGuy1, it won't.
[04:07] <djlenoir> ctmjr: hmm, so this is why open source is preferred :P
[04:07] <TheNewGuy1> ok, thnaks... I guess
[04:08] <ctmjr> djlenoir, did you remove it?
[04:08] <jared__> Just so you guys know the solution to my error issue is to tyoe mysql - u root -p to force a prompt for a password
[04:08] <djlenoir> working on it now
[04:08] <Kalmi> jared__, yes
[04:09] <digitalfiz> whats a good webcam monitoring program? I tried to use cheese to basically monitor but it freezes the camera after awhile
[04:09] <Jeruvy> TheNewGuy1: 'df' will show free space..
[04:09] <digitalfiz> one with a gui and alerts or something
[04:09] <TheNewGuy1> next question.  I need to run - cough, joke, cough - internet explorer....  man I hate saying that... but I gotta run it for a specific website.  How can I do that with linux?
[04:09] <Jeruvy> !wine | TheNewGuy1
[04:10] <TheNewGuy1> thanks Jeruvy and everyone.. I got my space.
[04:10] <Kalmi> jared__, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Set%20mysql%20root%20password
[04:10] <djlenoir> ctmjr: well it ran i think... said "restore of system environment completed" and "Uninstall fglrx driver complete..."
[04:10] <felix_> how to see a full list of channels starting by 'h'?
[04:11] <Kalmi> jared__, read that "Note" part too
[04:11] <Jeruvy> digitalfiz: I haven't seen anything worthwhile yet, but if you dig up something let me know.
[04:11] <ctmjr> djlenoir, ok did you install any nvidia drivers and if so how?
[04:11] <kitche> !ies4linux | TheNewGuy1
[04:11] <TheNewGuy1> Thanks jeruvy... don't mind If I do...  have some wine.  ... its been a hard day I need something stronger.. but after I get my browser going.
[04:11] <djlenoir> ctmjr: no, i have not installed any nvidia drivers
[04:12] <jared__> Thanks for the help Kalmi and others.
[04:12] <TheNewGuy1> thanks kitchen!  you really know how to cook!
[04:12] <mubu> Hey guys, whats the best way/the most streamlined way to create my own ubuntu 9.04 live cd (I want to add a few apps)? Thanks
[04:12] <gartral> !wine > TheNewGuy1
[04:12] <felix_> mubu, dowmnload remastersys
[04:12] <bazhang> !remaster > mubu
[04:12] <digitalfiz> jeremy_c, i found one that was command line but id like a gui to pop in front of my screen when motion is detected
[04:13] <TheNewGuy1> Thanks Gartral, I will get a glass!
[04:13] <mubu> felix_, thanks. Do you think that is better than Reconstructor?
[04:13] <ctmjr> djlenoir, ok run this in terminal then reboot the computer  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg make sure you reboot and not just restart X
[04:13] <digitalfiz> err i ment Jeruvy lol
[04:13] <felix_> mubu, you only have to install a freh ubuntu/debian system, then install apps, then run remastersys. then you got a bootable and installable iso
[04:13] <duckwars> anyone familiar with x11vnc?
[04:14] <djlenoir> ctmjr: ok ran successfully, rebooting now... and crossing fingers
[04:14] <felix_> mubu, i dont know reconstructor, but i have been long time trying to do a linux system and im sure it fix your needs
[04:14] <mubu> felix_, Thanks, i might try bothç
[04:14] <bazhang> felix_, install from where? uck is in the repos
[04:14] <AncientSocrates> hello wrong channel but more people. Does anyone use win7 on a laptop? my subwoofer has no sound
[04:14] <felix_> mubu, you can trye gnewsense builder too #gnewsense
[04:14] <bazhang> AncientSocrates, ##windows
[04:15] <bazhang> felix_, please recommend Ubuntu solutions first
[04:16] <Jeruvy> djlenoir: ya, I haven't found anything I can say isn't crap atm...sorry.
[04:16] <felix_> bazhang,  mubu http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/remastersystool.html
[04:16] <djlenoir> ctmjr: oh man, it sort of worked... i actually saw the screen for a moment, then got this message "Your sessions only lasted less than 20 seconds. If you have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may be out of disk space. Try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix this problem."
[04:16] <felix_> it is a ubuntu solution, but its not in the repo
[04:16] <bazhang> felix_, that is not necessary. Ubuntu has remastering tools in the repos
[04:16] <felix_> oh, didnt know
[04:16] <bazhang> !remaster > felix_
[04:18] <TheNewGuy1> downloading win via synaptic and drinking a nice cheap but very tasty cab.  Thanks for the help.
[04:18] <kyja> what directory is java installed?
[04:18] <johnjay> how do I tell apt to not upgrade/install a version of a package?   It contained a small wallpaper switching app for a minimal system.  I believe that the name was an element...  Can anyone help me out?
[04:18] <kyja> thank you johnjay
[04:18] <djlenoir> ctmjr: i have a login screen
[04:19] <anomoly> I'm attempting to run an .exe in wine, and I'm getting "Unable to find a volume for file extraction. Please verify that you have the proper permissions"
[04:19] <OttifantSir> johnjay: right-click the package and mark lock version
[04:19] <trevor> Kinda like hsetroot, or wallp
[04:19] <anomoly> .wine and all recursive directories are owned by me
[04:19] <TheNewGuy1> thanks jeruvy, you kitchen and gartral rock!
[04:19] <OttifantSir> johnjay: or for force version if it's already installed a higher version, and choose the one you want
[04:20] <ctmjr> djlenoir, there should be a option or session tab look for failsafe gnome and see if that works
[04:20] <gartral> anomoly: is your disk full?
[04:20] <OttifantSir> johnjay: Ooopppsss... That's Synaptic, not apt directly
[04:20] <trevor> anomoly, I know that WoW does that if the installer is run from the disk.  Try putting the installer on the volume that you want to install to.
[04:20] <TheNewGuy1> anyone hear use sea horse web browser?  is it any good?  better then firefox?  thanks
[04:20] <Kalmi> anomoly, try google: Unable to find a volume for file extraction wine
[04:20] <djlenoir> ctmjr: unfortunately, the pc was locked with that msg so i rebooted into recovery mode again
[04:20] <trevor> TheNewGuy1, You mean Seamonkey?
[04:21] <anomoly> Kalmi: I've done some searches but everything I saw just mentioned file permissions.
[04:21] <TheNewGuy1> LOL... yes... sorry I am down loading Wine and I think I am getting a little tipsy.
[04:21] <anomoly> gartral: no, the disk isn't full
[04:21] <OttifantSir> anomoly: You have to configure wine
[04:21] <johnjay> OttifantSir: right but there must be an underlying apt aspect to it?
[04:22] <Jeruvy> trevor: I've found many a custom script but this is the documentation, maybe something will put you on the right path:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[04:22] <anomoly> Ottifantsir: as in run winecfg? I looked at that but didn't see any thing for permissions
[04:22] <TheNewGuy1> seaMonkey
[04:22] <gartral> OttifantSir: not so, basic disks should be laid out by default... anomoly even with that being said, go to Applications>Wine>Configure and have a look at your Disks tab
[04:22] <Kalmi> anomoly, the first hit for me suggests using the latest wine (which works for him) and/or winetricks to install idunnowhat
[04:23] <Kalmi> anomoly, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=966848
[04:23] <trevor> TheNewGuy1, Seamonkey is just the new open source version of the Mozilla suite.  If you want a single application that has a web browser, email client, chat client, and web page creator, then you might want to go with it. I recommend the Beta for 2 if you can use it though, as it sports a more recent build of Gecko.
[04:23] <TheNewGuy1> thanks Trev
[04:24] <trevor> TheNewGuy1,
[04:24] <TheNewGuy1> ok, I got wine, should I manualy install it?
[04:24] <trevor> TheNewGuy1, You're welcome! :D
[04:24] <gartral> TheNewGuy1: you'll have to either add a PPA repository, or compile it yourself though
[04:24] <OttifantSir> johnjay: Synaptic is a graphical frontend to apt. It just seemed to me that with X in question and you asking about apt, you might be stuck in terminal, and then I couldn't have helped you. If you can get to Synaptic, that's the easiest way to do it
[04:24] <TheNewGuy1> um... never compliled.. my have to save that for another day.
[04:24] <ctmjr> djlenoir, i have had that error but it was from tweaking my window manager the wrong way, let me google and see if i can find out something
[04:24] <gartral> TheNewGuy1: why arent you using sudo aptitude install wine?
[04:25] <trevor> Jeruvy, Thanks for the link.  I think that I'm skipping the part that I'm building the desktop from a CLI.  I've found the package before, but cannot remember the name for the life of me...
[04:25] <trevor> Jeruvy, Which is silly, cause I'm 99% sure that it's the name of an element
[04:25] <anomoly> Kalmi: ok, I'll check out the link. I'm running the latest version but I'll take a look at winetricks
[04:25] <Jeruvy> trevor: I'd be glad to know also, I couldn't find anything specific unfortunately :(
[04:25] <TheNewGuy1> Gartral.... um... what?  I just down loaded wine via synaptic.  was that wrong?
[04:25] <trevor> Jeruvy, Give me a few minutes, and a periodic table, and I'll come back with an answer...
[04:25] <djlenoir> ctmjr: thank you for your help. i don't want you to have to spend more time with me than you have already. i can just wipe and reload it to save everyone trouble. just have to reinstall a bunch of stuff.
[04:26] <OttifantSir> trevor: Element as in the 4 elements, or element as in the periodic table?
[04:26] <gartral> TheNewGuy1: ohh, no, I though you meant you downloaded the source from winehq ;) nvm me
[04:26] <trevor> OttifantSir, Periodic Table.... Am I crazy?
[04:26] <TheNewGuy1> eeeewwww that sounds messy.  nope.. I a NOOB.
[04:26] <Jeruvy> trevor: no, there is a periodic table app called something like that iirc.
[04:27] <TheNewGuy1> OK, I got WINE.  down loaded... now what?
[04:27] <johnjay> OttifantSir: apt-get hold <pkg>
[04:27] <Kalmi> anomoly, by latest you mean wine-1.1.25?
[04:27] <trevor> Jeruvy, OttifantSir  FOUND IT!   GOOD FOR YOU!!
[04:27] <gartral> trevor: welcome too the Human Condition ;)
[04:27] <TheNewGuy1> cool.  does it need to be configured?
[04:27] <ctmjr> djlenoir, it's not a problem you can reinstall if you want but i am curious as to why you get that error
[04:27] <needhelp1> rythmbox wont play mp3's
[04:28] <Phantal> I upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 to the latest [released] version, and now wireless doesn't work.  I can use iwlist to find wireless networks, iwconfig to choose settings, but when I use dhclient to obtain an IP address, there's never a dhcp response
[04:28] <Jeruvy> er my bad its a java tool...http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/api/gnu/kawa/xml/KElement.html
[04:28] <needhelp1> it wont play my podcasts either
[04:28] <Phantal> everything worked fine before I upgraded
[04:28] <djlenoir> ctmjr: i will stick to it if you are willing
[04:28] <needhelp1> and fspot is messing up
[04:28] <gartral> TheNewGuy1: it shouldn't unless you want ies4linux, winetricks, or some other "special" function
[04:28] <OttifantSir> needhelp1: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:28] <TheNewGuy1> um... what is ies4linux?  and what is winetricks?
[04:29] <needhelp1> OttifantSir: i installed amarok
[04:29] <needhelp1> OttifantSir: that should work right?
[04:29] <gartral> !ies4linux | TheNewGuy1
[04:29] <gartral> !winetricks | TheNewGuy1
[04:30] <gartral> TheNewGuy1: winetricks is a script that automatically grabs a few redistributable packages for windows, and installs them too wine (it has been known to both add, and break functionality in the past)
[04:30] <trevor> Sorry about that...  I'm just trying to throw together a cookbook recipe for a simple desktop starting with X and JWM, and any small applications that a user may need...
[04:31] <legend2440> trevor   http://www.linuxtoday.com/infrastructure/2008120303335OSDTSW
[04:31] <TheNewGuy1> gart, why would I want it?
[04:31] <anomoly> Kalmi: no, I don't have the dev release, just the stable.
[04:31] <OttifantSir> needhelp1: Still doesn't have MP3-support because MP3 is a proprietary format. You need to install ubuntu-restricted-extras, or kubuntu-* or xubuntu-* depending on what you use
[04:31] <gartral> TheNewGuy1: winetricks allows you too run *some* games for Windows labeled games... beyond that, I've never found a viable use for it
[04:31] <anomoly> Kalmi: I see on that link that it looks like he got the dev. I'll have to check try that
[04:32] <Kalmi> anomoly, good luck, bb
[04:32] <TheNewGuy1> ok, thanks.. I'll pass on that.
[04:32] <legend2440> trevor: oh i see you found it already
[04:32] <trevor> legend2440, That's it right there!  I've used it before... Had a REALLY underpowered desktop that I was using full time, so I figured out a couple of apps that are very good on very low end systems...
[04:32] <gartral> TheNewGuy1: ok.. so all that's left is too try out a windows based program in wine :)
[04:32] <TheNewGuy1> ok, going to try ies4linux.
[04:33] <moymoy> billybigrigger: how is launch speed for minefield?
[04:33] <jmoncayo_> hey guys, could anyone here help me with an iptables problem http://pastebin.ca/1489136
[04:33] <needhelp1> OttifantSir: what all is in the restricted package
[04:33] <billybigrigger> pretty quick
[04:33] <billybigrigger> moymoy, haha i don't now how to time it exactly
[04:33] <trevor> just trying to throw it back together, and I appear to have lost my JWM configuration file, and the list of applications...  So, I'm making a cookbook for stuff like this in the future...  It's something I need to get into the habit of...
[04:33] <TheNewGuy1> ok, will try that first
[04:33] <moymoy> billybigrigger: nothing exact, just relative to the default firefox that comes with ubuntu-desktop
[04:33] <gartral> !restricted | billybigrigger
[04:34] <billybigrigger> moymoy, oh way quicker, almost instant for me
[04:34] <moymoy> billybigrigger: takes forever to launch, when chromium seems to launch instantaneous (as if it were just minimized before)
[04:34] <billybigrigger> minefield is the same, instant
[04:34] <moymoy> billybigrigger: that's good to hear
[04:34] <Hilikus> whats the most common IDE in ubuntu for c++?
[04:34] <OttifantSir> needhelp1: There's really nothing IN the restricted package. It's more like a script, installing the codecs for the proprietary formats. Or you could go to category5.tv and find the Perfectbuntu script under Resources -> Scripts and run that. It installs even more support.
[04:35] <moymoy> billybigrigger: wish more apps launched like that... transmission is pretty quick to launch too, but i prefer deluge
[04:35] <billybigrigger> me too
[04:35] <moymoy> billybigrigger: and breaks my heart that  deluge isn't that quick =]
