[06:52] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Hold on.
[06:52] <bimberi> arooni: i haven't found one myself.  I bet this issue has been reported though.  Perhaps on the forums?
[06:52] <h1st0> owner_: What type of network card that is...
[06:52] <grindar> anybody here got any experience with rioutil?
[06:52] <owner_> i have a toshiba laptop so its built in
[06:53] <arrenlex> omegacenti: I don't like that. Remove that file and reinstall 915resolution. Better to work with the defaults.
[06:53] <h1st0> owner_: lspci | grep Ethernet
[06:53] <owner_> im trying to get lamp on my desktop edition\
[06:53] <h1st0> owner_: should show you the chipset.
[06:53] <gyaresu> chemisus: Is this a separate package you've downloaded or are you installing from apt. Please give us some background on what you're doing...
[06:53] <Dufresne`> i just created a new ext3 logical partition. when i try to mount it i get " can't find /dev/sda5 in etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[06:53] <lori> gyaresu: I have deleted and remade a default keyring for my wireless.  How do I get the default keyring to only come up once on bootup?
[06:53] <chemisus> gyaresu, i downloaded the driver package from the realtek's website. its an audio driver
[06:54] <h1st0> owner_: well lamp is just Linux Apache Mysql and Php.  ITs not that hard to install them. on any system.
[06:54] <gyaresu> lori: gnome? This is the GUI box that pops up?
[06:54] <chemisus> gyaresu, the readme says to do an automatic install, just do the ./install
[06:54] <lori> gyaresu:  I believe it is the gnome.  How do i tell?
[06:55] <owner_> im having a lot of trouble with it
[06:55] <gyaresu> chemisus: Did you read the read me? Is is a linux driver? Can you provide a link? What are the dependencies?
[06:55] <ivan_> Has anyone here been successful using a  ATI HDTV PCI card?
[06:55] <gyaresu> lori: Default ubuntu install is indeed gnome.
[06:55] <h1st0> owner_: well getting the network card working would be step one.
[06:55] <CM_Rapture> Hello all, anyone got time to help a frustrated noobie?
[06:55] <lori> gyaresu: "Ah" said the little hippie.
[06:55] <h1st0> owner_: then installing software would be step 2.  Because a webserver without working network is kind of pointless
[06:55] <chemisus> gyaresu, http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=23&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
[06:55] <[vali] > !anyone | CM_Rapture
[06:55] <ubotu> CM_Rapture: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:55] <grindar> frustrated with what?
[06:56] <omegacenti> arrenlex: Okay, so now my computer is doing 1024x768 (and it looks absolutely weird on widescreen)
[06:56] <gyaresu> ivan_: You obviously have not. So can you tell us what you have done and where you are up to. The better the background and question; the better the support.
[06:56] <omegacenti> getting 915 data
[06:56] <Dufresne`> i just created a new ext3 logical partition. when i try to mount it i get " can't find /dev/sda5 in etc/fstab or /etc/mtab " Can anyone tell me what's going on?
[06:56] <anonymeeee> Madpilot: I've taken the drive out of the box and put it in a usb drive case
[06:56] <owner_> i am currently running desktop edition and its working fine except for lamp
[06:56] <h1st0> Dufresne`: try mounting with sudo
[06:56] <Madpilot> anonymeeee, if that works, cool.
[06:56] <anonymeeee> how can I get ubuntu on it now?
[06:57] <h1st0> Dufresne`: sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mountpoint
[06:57] <lori> ubotu: do you have any info about a keyring that appears twice on bootup?
[06:57] <anonymeeee> what commands?
[06:57] <Dufresne`> h1st0, i did mount with sudo
[06:57] <owner_> i cant seem to configure the right files
[06:57] <h1st0> owner_: okay well then all you need to do is install apache mysql and php right?
[06:57] <[vali] > dont forget -t ext3
[06:57] <gyaresu> chemisus: Did you get the 'Others' download?
[06:57] <ivan_> Gyaresu: The TV card is installed, I have no experience using TV tuners in linux.  Trying to find a program that would decode HDTV and allow me to record programs like I do in Windows.
[06:57] <CM_Rapture> Ok, is there a step-by-step guide to installing Edgy for a complete Linux noobie? One that entails dealing with the lack of driver support for nVidia GeForce 8800gts and D-Link WiFi PCI cards?
[06:57] <owner_> i installed them
[06:57] <Madpilot> owner_, Apache should just work as installed. Try #apache for help there
[06:57] <arrenlex> omegacenti: And a new /var/log/Xorg.0.log please
[06:57] <h1st0> owner_: you should be able to find all of those in synaptic.
[06:57] <chemisus> gyaresu, no, the linux kernel one
[06:57] <omegacenti> arrenlex: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9053/ is 915resolution
[06:58] <Madpilot> ubotu, lamp | owner_
[06:58] <ubotu> owner_: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[06:58] <uber_newb> hey all, i'm trying to implement a 32bit chroot on AMD64, edgy eft, using the following tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575&highlight=32+bit+chroot, My question is in the line that sayeth step 1 "sudo debootstrap --arch i386 hoary /chroot/ http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu" can i just change the line to "sudo debootstrap --arch i386 edgy /chroot/ http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu"
[06:58] <h1st0> owner_: your default webpage will go in /var/www
[06:58] <h1st0> owner_: and you can get to it by pointing your browser on that machine to <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:58] <Madpilot> anonymeeee, does the box boot from CD now that it's connected by USB?
[06:58] <gyaresu> chemisus: Do you _have_ kernel 2.2.14 or version 2.4? (uname -a)
[06:58] <chemisus> gyaresu, ah, nah, 2.6
[06:59] <owner_> when i try to test a php file using http://localhost/test.php it gives me an error "Unknown: Failed opening '/var/www/test.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in Unknown on line 0"
[06:59] <h1st0> ahh I need a break for a bit.  Time for some nexuiz
[06:59] <arrenlex> uber_newb: Yes.
[06:59] <omegacenti> arrenlex: xorg log: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9054/
[06:59] <anonymeeee> Madpilot: no, I have it attached to this box now...different box
[06:59] <CM_Rapture> Ok, is there a step-by-step guide to installing Edgy for a complete Linux noobie? One that entails dealing with the lack of driver support for nVidia GeForce 8800gts and D-Link WiFi PCI cards?
[06:59] <h1st0> owner_: did you install php?
[06:59] <owner_> yea
[06:59] <gyaresu> chemisus: Answer: no. You want the 'Others' download I reckons... See what I mean about good questions. Next question you have to provide all that sort of stuff first. :)
[06:59] <rwjussel> I need to reinstall my wireless driver (Intel BG2200). Any help would definitely be appreciated.
[06:59] <h1st0> owner_: and the libmod for apache?
[06:59] <anonymeeee> Madpilot: I attached the usb drive to my working ubuntu box
[06:59] <chemisus> gyaresu, sorry, first time asking for help =P
[07:00] <owner_> yea
[07:00] <ivan_> Gyaresu: The TV card is installed, I have no experience using TV tuners in linux.  Trying to find a program that would decode HDTV and allow me to record programs like I do in Windows.
[07:00] <EaglesNestOne> still cant solve my problem
[07:00] <gyaresu> chemisus: No problem. I totally understand. Not all the lessons here are technical ;)
[07:00] <h1st0> owner_:you also need  libapache2-mod-php4  or libapache2-mod-php5 if you installed php5
[07:01] <gyaresu> ivan_: Ah yes. TV card. I'll have a look.
[07:01] <grindar> Anyone got experience with rioutil, or know where I can find someone who does?
[07:01] <chemisus> gyaresu, what exactly is the ncurses library for?
[07:01] <omegacenti> arrenlex: Its just weird. You're a good man in my book. :)
[07:01] <h1st0> owner_: then restart the apache after install php and it should work.
[07:01] <Madpilot> anonymeeee, I'm really not sure what to suggest. You can use non-CD methods to install Ubuntu, but I've never used any of them
[07:01] <EaglesNestOne> How do i uninstall Ubuntu
[07:01] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Actually, it's less weird than it seems.
[07:01] <h1st0> owner_: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[07:01] <arrenlex> omegacenti: There's an asterisk by that modeline, but there isn't next to any others.
[07:01] <gyaresu> chemisus: making friendly menus from the command line that you can even click on with mouse etc.
[07:01] <uber_newb> thanks
[07:01] <arrenlex> omegacenti: It seems to be throwing it away for some reason.
[07:01] <ivan_> Gyaresu: Thanks
[07:01] <omegacenti> arrenlex: Its a new planet with complete set of creatures weird for me.
[07:01] <uber_newb> i'm retrieving packages
[07:01] <arrenlex> omegacenti: I'm googling right now. Appears to be because of refresh rates.
[07:01] <CM_Rapture> i have tried to install Edgy x64 twice already, but my video card has proven to be a pain in my bootay. It prevents xserver/xorg from loading and makes my monitor go to sleep
[07:01] <cwill1> how can I go about forcing synaptic/apt to ignore a broken package completely?
[07:02] <EaglesNestOne> How do I uninstall ubuntu
[07:02] <CM_Rapture> is there a live cd around that supports the nvidia GeForce 8800gts "out of the box"?
[07:02] <cwill1> EaglesNestOne: install another os
[07:02] <eoX> find . -name "*.tmp" -exec rm {} \;
[07:02] <EaglesNestOne> i have windows aswell
[07:02] <eoX> why is the backslash needed?
[07:02] <gyaresu> ivan_: Have you had a look at the forum and teh interweb for other peoples experiences with that exact card?
[07:02] <cosmo__> when I install ubuntu do I need to go find drivers for my motherboard or should it detect it normally(my MB is several years old)
[07:02] <EaglesNestOne> i have ubuntu on my spare hard drive
[07:02] <omegacenti> EaglesNestOne: Install Microsoft Windows Millenium Edition. That will take care of none of your problems.
[07:02] <owner_> i installed apache2, php5-mysql, libapache2-mod-php5, mysql-server, using synaptic
[07:03] <cwill1> EaglesNestOne: do you have anything on it you need?
[07:03] <CM_Rapture> gyaresu: yes, but it all seems like another language to me... i've never used Linux before
[07:03] <lori> gyaresu: Here's another question.  Is it possible to tell Grub to use one operating system or the other by default on bootup?  My goal would be to have either Ubuntu or Xp bootup without displaying the Grub screen on bootup.
[07:03] <EaglesNestOne> yes
[07:03] <owner_> i got it off the ubuntu guide
[07:03] <cwill1> EaglesNestOne: like?
[07:03] <ledbettj> owner_: what's the problem? php pages aren't parsed, it just spits out the source?
[07:03] <EaglesNestOne> crap loads
[07:03] <EaglesNestOne> heaps and heaps
[07:03] <arrenlex> omegacenti: In the meantime, it should run at that resolution if you dial it back to 16 bits per pixel.
[07:03] <gyaresu> CM_Rapture: You'd be starting with one of the non-simple tasks then.
[07:03] <Dr_willis> CM_Rapture,  why are you messing with the 64bit version? you may hjave MUCH better luck with the 32bit version. You do not HAVE to use 64bit on an amd64 cpu. :)
[07:04] <EaglesNestOne> cant i just format my other hard drive?
[07:04] <cwill1> EaglesNestOne: that's what I was asking
[07:04] <ivan_> gyaresu: I do not remember what website I visited today, but I do remember that it mentioned a program called mythtv.  I tried installing it using Synaptic, but it terminates because a script error "something about dependencies".
[07:04] <EaglesNestOne> which has ubuntu
[07:04] <omegacenti> arrenlex: Dial what back to 16 bits per pixel?
[07:04] <EaglesNestOne> yes
[07:04] <CM_Rapture> Dr_willis: I was told only x64 works on AMD64 chips...
[07:04] <EaglesNestOne> theres nothing i need on the spare hard drive
[07:04] <arrenlex> omegacenti: X. In xorg.conf, change "24" to "16" where you have your resolutions.
[07:05] <EaglesNestOne> so how do i format
[07:05] <cwill1> EaglesNestOne: then you can just format it
[07:05] <gyaresu> lori: You could. I'm not quite sure what you mean. How do you want to chose which one starts?
[07:05] <EaglesNestOne> how
[07:05] <omegacenti> arrenlex: Have you seen my xorg?
[07:05] <marx2k_> !elive
[07:05] <owner_> when i try to test a phpi dont know when i load http://localhost/test.php it gives me an error "Unknown: Failed opening '/var/www/test.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in Unknown on line 0"
[07:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about elive - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:05] <arrenlex> omegacenti: You'll only get 16-bit colour depth, rather than 32-bit colour depth, but the right res.
[07:05] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Yes, why?
[07:05] <Dr_willis> CM_Rapture,  it ONLY works on amd64...... which is to say the 64bit disrto wont work on 32bit chips. :) thats NOT the same as 32bit disrto will also work on 64bit cpus
[07:05] <[Usurp] > hi
[07:05] <CM_Rapture> Does the 32-bit version support my gfx card?
[07:05] <gyaresu> ivan_: Yeah you probably need to setup your repositories (places the packages are stored)
[07:05] <cwill1> EaglesNestOne: a microsoft forum might be a better place for such an answer, but I believe you can boot into windows, go to administrative tools | disk manager, select the drive, and tell it to format
[07:05] <marx2k_> Hm the bot does not know about ELive
[07:05] <owner_> thats what i cant figure out
[07:05] <marx2k_> I dont know how I feel about thast
[07:05] <gyaresu> !repos | ivan_
[07:05] <Dr_willis> CM_Rapture, trust us.. go get the 32bit version and use it. :)
[07:05] <ubotu> ivan_: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[07:05] <arrenlex> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9050/ <-- lines 117 and 119 go to 16 instead of 24.
[07:05] <EaglesNestOne> no thats just the thing i cant
[07:05] <Dr_willis> CM_Rapture,  there i have several amd64 machines.. and i only use the 32bit disrtos
[07:05] <cwill1> is there any way to force apt to ignore a broken package?
[07:06] <arrenlex> omegacenti: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9050/ <-- lines 117 and 119 go to 16 instead of 24.
[07:06] <omegacenti> arrenlex: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9055/
[07:06] <EaglesNestOne> the drive dosent show up in windows
[07:06] <cwill1> EaglesNestOne: ?
[07:06] <omegacenti> okay one second.
[07:06] <ledbettj> owner_: it looks like a permissions problem.  if you type "ls -lh /var/www/test.php" what does it show for the permissions/owners?
[07:06] <cwill1> did you go into the disk manager?  because the disk _will_ be there
[07:06] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Yep, 117 and 119
[07:06] <lori> gyaresu: I am sorry if I'm less than clear.  I'm a total noobie.  I'd like to have Ubuntu boot up right away when i power on my laptop.  Instead, what I have now, is a Grub screen that appears and gives me a choice of either Ubuntu or windows xp.
[07:06] <ivan_> gyaresu, ubotu: Thanks I will try that website
[07:06] <cwill1> not windows explorer
[07:06] <bjv> !hibernate
[07:06] <ubotu> hibernate: smartly puts your computer to sleep (suspend to RAM or disk). In component universe, is extra. Version 1.91-2 (edgy), package size 72 kB, installed size 364 kB
[07:06] <EaglesNestOne> the drive that i want to format dosnt show up on windows
[07:06] <bjv> !howdoyouconfigurehibernate
[07:06] <gyaresu> lori: ah. No problem. Easy.
[07:07] <gyaresu> !mythtv
[07:07] <lori> yay!
[07:07] <ubotu> MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV
[07:07] <bjv> T_T
[07:07] <cwill1> EaglesNestOne: where are you looking?
[07:07] <arrenlex> bjg: apt-get install powersaved
[07:07] <gyaresu> !mythtv | ivan_
[07:07] <ubotu> ivan_: please see above
[07:07] <arrenlex> bjv, sorry.
[07:07] <CM_Rapture> Dr_Willis, may I msg you?
[07:07] <arrenlex> bjv: apt-get install powersaved
[07:07] <EaglesNestOne> the drive does but i cant see (or format) it in the my computer menu
[07:07] <eoX> EaglesNestOne b/c its ext2 window can't read dat u should be able to see it in MMC
[07:07] <gyaresu> lori: So do you know how to open a terminal?
[07:07] <cwill1> EaglesNestOne: go back to the list of instructions I gave you, and follow them
[07:07] <arrenlex> bjv: Then run sudo powersave -U
[07:07] <lori> gyaresu: yes.
[07:07] <omegacenti> arrenlex: Okay I changed the lines you told me to. Restart X or restart computer..?
[07:07] <EaglesNestOne> ill be back soon
[07:07] <cwill1> EaglesNestOne: administrative tools, disk tools, select the drive(it will be there)
[07:08] <lori> gyaresu: I have opened one.
[07:08] <Ax3> ok im trying to set a new mode on a removable disk using CHMOD in tty, but nothing is happening, the command clears like it's working, then i do a ls -lha to check the permissions, and it remains the same? the disk is a removable external seagate drive (300gb) help!
[07:08] <owner_> it says owner has permission
[07:08] <ivan_> ubotu: Thanks I am in the process of checking the website link you sent
[07:08] <eoX> 	find . -name "*.tmp" -exec rm {} \;   for my question why is the backslash needed there?
[07:08] <gyaresu> lori: and have you used vi before?
[07:08] <ledbettj> owner_: what about the "rwx" stuff?  how many "r"s are there?
[07:08] <owner_> it says   -rw------- 1 owner owner 28 2007-03-07 00:02 /var/www/test.php
[07:08] <jhornick> it just escapes the end of the -exec command
[07:08] <lori> gyaresu:  I do not know what vi is.
[07:08] <bjv> arrenlex: sounds promising, should i remove --purge hibernate?
[07:08] <ledbettj> owner_: that's the problem
[07:08] <jhornick> lori: vi is an advanced commandline text editor
[07:08] <owner_> how do i fix it
[07:09] <ledbettj> owner_: the web server runs as a different user, and it doesn't have read access to your file
[07:09] <arrenlex> bjv: If you like. Neither of those utilities ever worked on my laptop, but powersave was the closest.
[07:09] <bjv> arrenlex: some things have been screwy since i migrated away from root on /dev/hdc
[07:09] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Restart x
[07:09] <omegacenti> k
[07:09] <lori> jhornick: I dont believe i have used the advanced command line.
[07:09] <ledbettj> owner_: you can browse to the file in nautilus, right click on it, choose "permissions", and give all users read access
[07:09] <bjv> arrenlex: well, ill give it a shot
[07:09] <ledbettj> owner_: or you can type "chmod a+r /var/www/test.php"
[07:09] <lori> jhornick: hehe, i love the tab key...
[07:09] <cwill1> I've got a package installed that works fine, but synaptic lists as broken.  How can I force synaptic to ignore this packagE?
[07:09] <jhornick> lori: I just joined so im not sure what your request is neededing, but if your asking what vi is, I would recommend using a different editor =D
[07:10] <Ax3> anyone experience this with removable hard drives?
[07:10] <chemisus> gyaresu, downloaded the others one, ran it, and it still failed at curses
[07:10] <Ax3> i've been trying to set permissions for a good 15 minutes, thru gnome and the tty, and still nothing
[07:10] <gyaresu> lori: It's a text editor. Installed on all linux machines and super dooper cool. Try installing/running 'vimtutor' to get the tutorial. But for now if you could run (minus the apostraphes) 'sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst'
[07:10] <eoX> lori u should atleast do the vi tutor
[07:10] <lori> jhornick: I wanted ubuntu to boot up when i power on my laptop. but right now i get a grub screen with the choice of ubuntu or xp.
[07:10] <euxneks> yo
[07:10] <[vali] > i recommend to install vim instead the default one
[07:11] <lori> eox: that sounds like a good idea.  where is the vi tutor?
[07:11] <eoX>  gyaresu: super dooper cool. translation super dooper nasty hard
[07:11] <jhornick> lori: so, did you want to remove xp from the boot options?
[07:11] <euxneks> I'm trying to install ubuntu herd5 on an Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 with a SATA2 320 GB Seagate drive
[07:11] <omegacenti> arrenlex: By any chance do you know how to tell whether or not the resolution changed?
[07:11] <lori> lol, nm
[07:11] <arrenlex> omegacenti: You can't even tell?! XD
[07:11] <owner_> thank you so much it worked...im new to ubuntu
[07:11] <eoX> lori it comes with vi wimtutor
[07:11] <gyaresu> eoX: um. no.
[07:11] <euxneks> it's hanging with "can't access tty: job control turned off"
[07:11] <omegacenti> arrenlex: in screen resolution manager it still says 1024x768
[07:11] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Go to that place in X and see if that option has become available.
[07:12] <Rio> i just installed proftpd as inetd server, and i cant seem to connect.  it just says "unable to make a connection.  please try again".  if i use a command prompt, it says "connection closed by host"  what can i do?
[07:12] <lori> jhornick: i only want to remove xp from the options if i am able to manually boot into xp if i feel like it.
[07:12] <ledbettj> owner_: cool, glad it helped.
[07:12] <omegacenti> arrenlex:  um... what place in X...
[07:12] <lori> eoX: thanks :)
[07:12] <euxneks> anyone got any idea what I'm doing wrong? This is a completely new computer and nothing installed on it =)
[07:12] <tehchieftain> my usb slots wont detect anything unless its already plugged in when i boot.  anyone know?
[07:12] <eoX> gyaresu:  u sure, im pretty sure it comes with vi already
[07:12] <omglazers> Hey everyone quick question about the GRUB bootloader when installing; im trying to put on xubuntu and it wants to install the grub boot to (hd0) except there's only one drive in right now and its sda. Is hd0 correct or is it mistaken? Is that supposed to be the MBR..?
[07:12] <arrenlex> omegacenti: in gnome. The one that the nice people gave you after I shouted yo, channel.
[07:12] <CM_Rapture> does anyone know how/if I can install video drivers during install?
[07:12] <[vali] > omegacenti: any pastebin with your config ?
[07:12] <owner_> one more question  how do i view the file in nautlius
[07:12] <omegacenti> [vali] : many.
[07:13] <[vali] > post one url then XD
[07:13] <gyaresu> Ok fine. everyone talk over each other. I'm off for coffee. Someone help lori change the default delay time in menu.lst and add xp to it.
[07:13] <jhornick> lori: well you can edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file so that ubuntu is the default option, but if you remove it from that list you will need to re-add it before you can boot back to xp
[07:13] <ledbettj> owner_: you can open a nautilus window by typing "nautilus" or choosing one of the options from the "places" menu
[07:13] <lori> gyaresu:  thanks for your help :)
[07:13] <omegacenti> arrenlex: do you mean the system-->preferences--> screen resolution?
[07:13] <arooni> how do i adjust screen brightnes
[07:13] <omegacenti> [vali] : one sec.
[07:13] <chemisus> gyaresu, downloaded the others one, ran it, and it still failed at curses
[07:13] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Yes

[07:13] <eoX> 	find . -name "*.tmp" -exec rm {} \; for my question why is the backslash needed there?
[07:13] <gyaresu> lori: Let me know if the monkeys break anything ;)

[07:13] <tehchieftain> my usb slots wont detect anything unless its already connected when i boot, anyone know how to fix this?
[07:14] <sparr> something has royally f*cked my xorg.conf.  it now has only 5 resolutions, not including my max 1280x1024, including some weird ones like 1280x854.  X is now running with a viewport.  pre-reboot, xrandr listed a dozen valid resolutions.  help?
[07:14] <gyaresu> chemisus: I'm getting a 404 error on downloading so I can't even look at the file atm.
[07:14] <apallo> how do i comment out a block in bash?
[07:14] <chemisus> gyaresu, np
[07:14] <chemisus> gyaresu, go get some coffee, no sound isnt much of a problem, i just figured it would get rid of that annying beep
[07:14] <omegacenti> [vali] : xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9056/
[07:14] <lwizardl> hi
[07:14] <gyaresu> chemisus: Let me put the kettle on and come back. Where did you get the info from that you needed to install this btw?
[07:14] <omegacenti> arrenlex: It syays 1024x768
[07:15] <arrenlex> omegacenti: You can't change it?
[07:15] <chemisus> gyaresu, it comes up during the installation
[07:15] <tehchieftain> my usb slots wont auto detect, they only detect what is plugged in when i boot.  anyone know how to fix this?
[07:15] <omglazers> Anyone mind helping me out with GRUB issues during ubuntu install?
[07:15] <arrenlex> omegacenti: Post a new /var/log/Xorg.0.log for kicks, but I'm pretty sure I'm beat for good this time.
[07:15] <arooni> how do i adjust screen brightnes
[07:15] <omegacenti> arrenlex: Not unless I am missing something more obvious then trying to click it and seeing only 1024x768
[07:15] <gyaresu> chemisus: Nah. Why do you need the file from realtek?
[07:15] <lwizardl> can ubuntu be completly installed using ssh ?
[07:15] <omegacenti> one sec arrenlex
[07:15] <[vali] > omegacenti: and whats the problem ?
[07:15] <tehchieftain> my usb slots wont auto detect, they only detect what is plugged in when i boot.  anyone know how to fix this?
[07:15] <chemisus> gyaresu, its an onboard audio, and giga-byte said to download it from the vendor
[07:15] <omegacenti> one sec [vali]  request pending.
[07:16] <gyaresu> chemisus: 0_o
[07:16] <arrenlex> [vali] : They want to switch to 800x600 but the machine insists on running 1024x768 even with that log.
[07:16] <chemisus> my motherboard is a giga-byte GA-8IG1000 Pro-G
[07:16] <arrenlex> [vali] : log -> conf
[07:16] <[vali] > weird
[07:16] <omegacenti> arrenlex: log http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9057/
[07:16] <CM_Rapture> is there a VGA mode similar to windows for edgy install?
[07:16] <tehchieftain> my usb slots wont auto detect, they only detect what is plugged in when i boot.  anyone know how to fix this?
[07:16] <jhornick> there is a failsafe video mode
[07:16] <arrenlex> omegacenti: (II) I810(0): Not using mode "800x600" (no mode of this name). Yep, I'm beat. = /
[07:17] <arrenlex> omegacenti: I'm sorry...
[07:17] <euxneks> anyone familiar with fresh installs?
[07:17] <gyaresu> chemisus: Dude this is linux. Vendors hate us ;) This is ubuntu you're trying to install right? Things are done differently here. (That being said you may actually need to do it the way you are currently trying)
[07:17] <jhornick> euxneks: what part of fresh installs?
[07:17] <tehchieftain> my usb slots wont auto detect, they only detect what is plugged in when i boot.  anyone know how to fix this?
[07:17] <omegacenti> [vali] : I am simply trying to get the resolution 800x600 available in my ubuntu 6.10, the problem lies in that I have a 915 Intel chipset, I am using 915resolution, it seems to have not worked or I am just incompitent in the matter, my xorg edits did something, or the computer itself is possessed.
[07:17] <euxneks> installing - it's hanging saying "can't access tty: job control turned off"
[07:18] <chemisus> gyaresu, ubuntu is already installed. i just wanted my sound to work.
[07:18] <omegacenti> arrenlex: I stand by my words that you are a good man and that you tried your damndest. Thankyou for all the time you allowed for me.
[07:18] <gyaresu> chemisus: ac97 audio codecs huh? Have you looked at !sound etc. for the ubuntu way of sorting it?
[07:18] <jhornick> never seen that
[07:18] <euxneks> crappeh
[07:18] <jhornick> omega: there is a kernel module for the video drivers
[07:18] <chemisus> gyaresu, never heard of that
[07:18] <gyaresu> !chemisus | sound
[07:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about chemisus - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:18] <gyaresu> !sound | chemisus
[07:18] <ubotu> chemisus: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[07:18] <Dufresne`> i just created a new ext3 logical partition. when i try to mount it i get " can't find /dev/sda5 in etc/fstab or /etc/mtab " Can anyone tell me what's going on?
[07:18] <jhornick> do you have the program modconf installed?
[07:18] <tehchieftain> my usb slots wont auto detect, they only detect what is plugged in when i boot.  anyone know how to fix this?
[07:19] <cosmo__> wth I downloaded ubuntu edgy iso to my desktop, now I can't find it
[07:19] <omegacenti> jhornick: no idea, tell me how to tell and I will tell you immediately :)
[07:19] <CM_Rapture> tehchieftain: in terminal try 'dmseg | tail' and then 'mount -t vfat /dev/(USB drive, usually sda1) /usb'
[07:19] <CM_Rapture> er
[07:19] <oggy> just curious about something
[07:19] <CM_Rapture> test
[07:19] <omegacenti> [vali] : not sure if you have replied but I might have missed it.
[07:19] <CM_Rapture> '/dev/usb'
[07:19] <oggy> any other cool things you can do with ubuntu besides having a cool desktop
[07:20] <jhornick> omega: open a terminal and type modconf
[07:20] <omegacenti> one sec.
[07:20] <arrenlex> oggy: You can switch to console and compile things to make your friends think you are hacking the gibson. :)
[07:20] <[vali] > no... it seems that is a common problem... im just googling it (the xorg.conf seems right to me)
[07:20] <omegacenti> jhornick: not found
[07:20] <oggy> sweet
[07:20] <oggy> hehe
[07:20] <jhornick> okay, you will need that installed for this
[07:20] <omegacenti> get it from synaptics?
[07:20] <jhornick> yup
[07:20] <tritoch>  * Forcing reload of apache 2.0 web server... grep: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ssl: No such file or directory
[07:20] <tritoch> why is this a problem?
[07:21] <gyaresu> chemisus: Most 'drivers' get loaded into the Linux kernel as modules. Most modules come from packages allready ready to install or sometimes you need the latest and have to diddle around a bit to get things to work but mostly there are know ways of doing things.
[07:21] <jhornick> its just a util for enableing and disableing kernel modules
[07:21] <CM_Rapture> Can I download the proper nVidia drivers to my USB pen drive and have edgy use those during clean install?
[07:21] <omglazers> Anyone mind helping me out with GRUB issues during ubuntu install?
[07:21] <Flannel> tritoch: Looks like you've got some... path confusion there. or something.  What have you edited?
[07:21] <omegacenti> jhornick: then I will do as commanded :)
[07:21] <tehchieftain> hey rapture, can you check your pms
[07:21] <tritoch> Flannel: i made a symlink between sites-enabled and sites-available
[07:21] <CM_Rapture> ?
[07:22] <Flannel> tritoch: Just a ssl virtualhost, you mean?
[07:22] <CM_Rapture> i don't have any
[07:22] <[vali] > omegacenti: there is a program called 915resolution.. did you tried it ?
[07:22] <omegacenti> jhornick: If you would be so kind as to put my name in front of anything that is addressed to me, I would appreciate t, it makes it easier to find your text.
[07:22] <chemisus> ah, it works now
[07:22] <tehchieftain> i just msg'd you
[07:22] <tehchieftain> wtf
[07:22] <chemisus> gyaresu, thanks hehe
[07:22] <tritoch> that was the intent, it's just a duplicate of the default
[07:22] <arooni> i cant change my laptop brightness
[07:22] <arooni> ideas?
[07:22] <jhornick> omegacenti: full thing, or is just omega good enough?
[07:22] <tritoch> but i deleted the sites-available version
[07:22] <tritoch> if i delete the sites-enabled will this all go away :D
[07:22] <Flannel> tritoch: er... You shouldn't.
[07:22] <Frogzoo> arooni: what kind of lappie?
[07:22] <omegacenti> [vali] : I haveit  915resolution and I have run it as people have said, but as to what  it exactly does, I do not know.
[07:23] <Flannel> tritoch: you should have sites-available, and symlink to sites-enabled
[07:23] <omegacenti> jhornick: what do you mean by full thing?
[07:23] <arooni> Frogzoo: its a brand new sony vaio
[07:23] <gyaresu> chemisus: Welcome to Oz ;)
[07:23] <Flannel> tritoch: but keep it in sites-available

[07:23] <omegacenti> jhornick: What type of irc client are you using?
[07:23] <jhornick> omegacenti: nevermind, you will also need this package xserver-xorg-video-i810 (the i810 package does the i8xx and i9xx drivers)
[07:23] <omegacenti> I thought I had the i810 drivers.
[07:23] <jhornick> omegacenti: im using an gaim from a fairly recent svn
[07:24] <omegacenti> Does it have tab completion?
[07:24] <CM_Rapture> Is it possible to use drivers from my USB pen drive and have edgy use those during clean install?
[07:24] <jhornick> omegacenti: well they might not be loaded in the kernel
[07:24] <omegacenti> okay one sec.
[07:24] <arooni> Frogzoo: no i havent yet
[07:24] <tritoch> Flannel: ok i re-created the linked (available) file, do i need to re-do the sym link?
[07:24] <Frogzoo> CM_Rapture: sure, with some fiddling
[07:24] <arooni> havent heard fo it
[07:24] <Frogzoo> arooni: that's what I use
[07:24] <[vali] > omegacenti: when did you run the program ?
[07:24] <CM_Rapture> Frogzoo: care to elaborate?
[07:25] <omegacenti> jhornick: how should I get xserver-xorg-video-i810?
[07:25] <arooni> Frogzoo: ok its installed now what do i do
[07:25] <omegacenti> [vali] : I would say maybe 3 hours ago?
[07:25] <ratbert90> help!  Why won't lirc see my remote?  irw runs, but when I press a button on the remote, nothing shows up
[07:25] <Frogzoo> arooni: spicctrl -b 150
[07:25] <jhornick> sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-i810
[07:25] <omegacenti> one sec.
[07:25] <ratbert90> the remote has full batteries, and is supported by linux supposedly :(
[07:25] <Flannel> tritoch: delete it, and use a2ensite
[07:25] <zxcvbnm> salam
[07:25] <arooni> Frogzoo: i dont see anything happenign when i do that
[07:25] <[vali] > omegacenti: i mean it must be run before X starts... if you run it form a xterm or so it will not work
[07:26] <Flannel> tritoch: er, delete the symlink, and use a2ensite to enable it (a2ensite will symlink for you), that is.
[07:26] <omegacenti> jhornick: I have the newest version
[07:26] <oggy> damit I still have a hard time using screen with irssi
[07:26] <omegacenti> [vali] : this is an area I have not discussed yet with anyone, please continue this line of thought.
[07:26] <tehchieftain> rapture none of those commands worked in my terminal
[07:26] <Frogzoo> arooni: spicctrl -b 30
[07:26] <zxcvbnm> kasi hast
[07:26] <eoX> real player is still very choppy in 64bit ubuntu anyone has a fix?
[07:27] <arooni> Frogzoo: no chagnge :(
[07:27] <jhornick> omegacenti: sudo modprobe i810fb  (this should load the module)
[07:27] <sontek> Hey, I'm trying to switch my file server from OpenSUSE to Ubuntu but the installation keeps freezing at 69% (I let it sit for 3 days)
[07:27] <omglazers> Anyone mind helping me out with GRUB issues during ubuntu install?
[07:27] <Frogzoo> arooni: sudo spicctrl -b 30
[07:27] <tritoch> Flannel: i got a little overzealous and deleted the certificate too, what's the a2 command for creating it again?
[07:27] <arooni> Frogzoo: nothing :(
[07:27] <omegacenti> okay done.
[07:27] <CM_Rapture> then i dunno tehchieftain
[07:27] <sontek> It doesn't actually freeze, I can use the extra terminals, just the installation doesn't complete
[07:27] <Dougie> woot got internet working over wireless :)
[07:27] <Madpilot> sontek, sounds like a bad install CD - did you run the "check this CD" option on it?
[07:27] <sontek> is there a way to figure out what its sticking on?
[07:27] <omegacenti> jhornick: doesn't seem to have done anything, but I guess it did.
[07:27] <tehchieftain> says dsmeg is an invalid command =(
[07:27] <zxcvbnm> chi minevisid ?
[07:27] <CM_Rapture> dmesg
[07:28] <jhornick> omega: now we need to tell X to use the driver, then restart X
[07:28] <sontek> Madpilot: I md5summed and checked the cd through the command prompt, I've also used this cd to install on another computer
[07:28] <CM_Rapture> typo on my part :)

[07:32] <Psykus> can anyone help with ndiswrapper? i've tried installing the latest version of ndiswrapper via compiling, tried different drivers with the wifi card, both the ones on the CD and ones recomended on the ndiswrapper wiki (it's up there, says my card works with ndiswrapper), and i had it working fine in an older version of ubuntu, any ideas?
[07:32] <arooni> Frogzoo: its definitley bright... any other ideas?
[07:32] <billy> anyone use docks?
[07:32] <Madpilot> ubotu, universe | Dougie
[07:32] <ubotu> Dougie: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[07:32] <bullgard1> Madpilot: There are 5 classes of repositories, I believe. What are their names besides 'Universe'?
[07:32] <billy> or a dock?
[07:32] <savvas> is anyone else getting "connection timed out" for security.ubuntu.com repos?
[07:32] <rbil> CM_Rapture: I doubt that u can. I think you'll need to let the install fully install your system and then you can install the proprietary driver.
[07:32] <Madpilot> bullgard1, there are four main ones - Main & Restricted (both enabled by default), then Universe & Multiverse (which aren't)
[07:32] <Psykus> ndiswrapper installs fine, loads the driver, says 'device present', I get a new device, eth1 that shows up as a wireless device, but i can't set an SSID or key or anything
[07:32] <CM_Rapture> rbil, problem is, edgy and GeForce 8800 gts don't like each other with the default nv drivers
[07:33] <Psykus> doesn't show any wireless networks in the gnome net config window either
[07:33] <CM_Rapture> I can't get to a GUI of any sort
[07:33] <arooni> Frogzoo: any other suggestions
[07:33] <Frogzoo> arooni: ls -l /etc/acpi/sonybright.sh
[07:33] <VanessaE> ironic really that restricted would be enabled by default and yet uni/multiverse aren't
[07:33] <tehchieftain> my usb slots wont auto detect, they only detect what is plugged in when i boot.  anyone know how to fix this?
[07:33] <tritoch> thank you Flannel; i'm so happy ive got lamp + ftp running all with ssl :D
[07:33] <arooni> Frogzoo: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 746 2006-10-15 12:30 /etc/acpi/sonybright.sh
[07:34] <bullgard1> Madpilot: And is there a special name for these 4 classes as a category?
[07:34] <rbil> CM_Rapture: yeh, but why do you need to get to a GUI in the first place? If you have the proprietary driver, you can install it from the CLI after the system is up and running.
[07:34] <jhornick> tehchieftan: try a mounting daemon like ivman
[07:34] <Psykus> people in #ndiswrapper helped me compile the new version , still does the same thing
[07:34] <CM_Rapture> is there a guide somewhere on how to do that?
[07:34] <Madpilot> bullgard1, not really - they're all just repos.
[07:35] <Frogzoo> arooni: ooh - I notice in that file "# Recent nvidia Sonys have ACPI methods that do nothing. Thanks, Sony."

[07:36] <tehchieftain> try mounting daemon? what does that have to do with my wireless mouse not detecting after i unplug it and try to plug it back in.
[07:36] <omegacenti> [vali] : I don't think it worked.
[07:36] <bullgard1> Madpilot: I will read the link you suggested.
[07:36] <tehchieftain> only detects it after its plugged in while booted
[07:36] <[vali] > omegacenti: :(
[07:36] <balu123> hey guys. i was always thinking about installing ubuntu instead of xp at my computer. but I cannot even install it. I start with boot cd, select 1 or 2 and then the screen with the "moving bar" appears for about 2 mins. then nothing happens. pentium 4, 1028gb ram, radeon x850. I didn't find any help on the internet
[07:36] <Madpilot> bullgard1, more like Main - Restricted - Universe - Multiverse, insofar as there is a ranking
[07:36] <omegacenti> [vali] : might you walk me through the process of using this 915resolution?
[07:36] <Psykus> also non ubuntu related question, my computer freezes right before the memory check whenever my ipod is plugged in at boot :(
[07:36] <Psykus> question/issue
[07:36] <balu123> any ideas?
[07:36] <bullgard1> Madpilot: Thank you.

[07:36] <ubotu> bullgard1, Madpilot: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[07:37] <Madpilot> Flannel, I just gave him that URL
[07:37] <omegacenti> I know it has a config thing, and I did edit it through someone elses suggestion... I justdon't know what to do.
[07:37] <Dougie> ok i'm going through this guide for universe and its not right... its a little outdated or something cause there is no software preferences under admin
[07:37] <omegacenti> gah.
[07:37] <Flannel> Madpilot: eh?  I guess I missed it.
[07:37] <Frogzoo> arooni: it doesn't mean that - for one thing, it might be fixed in feisty
[07:37] <Dougie> oh...nvm
[07:37] <Madpilot> Dougie, Software Sources
[07:37] <Flannel> Dougie: It's "software sources" in Edgy
[07:37] <[vali] > omegacenti: http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/readme.html
[07:37] <Dougie> you just check the boxes
[07:37] <arooni> Frogzoo: ahh, but is there nothing i can do until feisty?
[07:37] <Dougie> lol
[07:37] <Madpilot> Dougie, which guide for repos, BTW? If it
[07:37] <balu123> come on guys. I'm tired of windows
[07:38] <Frogzoo> arooni: you can google around for a fix 'acpi sony linux' & see what turns up
[07:38] <owner_> what is the best editor for php and css i used to use dreamweaver but i switched to ubuntu recently
[07:38] <arooni> Frogzoo: when is fesity coming out
[07:38] <Dougie> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[07:38] <lepine_h> any ideas? i constantly get 'httpd (pid X?) not running' ... while it is
[07:38] <Frogzoo> arooni: april
[07:38] <[vali] > omegacenti: you may need to change steps 7-8 to ubuntu...
[07:38] <Madpilot> owner_, Bluefish or Screem. Nvu if you think you need a WYSIWYG thing.
[07:38] <rbil> CM_Rapture: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_Nvidia_Edgy
[07:38] <omegacenti> [vali] : I am reading as we speak.
[07:38] <jhornick> owner_: I kinda like bluefish
[07:39] <arooni> Frogzoo: how easy is it to upgrade to fesity from edgy?
[07:39] <Dougie> should i enable multiverse?
[07:39] <TheMonkeyMoo> has anyone here had any success getting the bonjour plugin for Gaim working? I have avahi-daemon installed and I can start the daemon through terminal, which causes me to show up on other people's lists (iChat and Trillian) but I see nobody and am unable to receive any messages. Alternately can anyone point me to a different channel?
[07:39] <omegacenti> [vali] : Any suggestions on how to put 915resolution in my startupscripts?
[07:39] <owner_> how bout zend? is that any good
[07:39] <Frogzoo> arooni: never done it
[07:40] <Madpilot> Dougie, probably, It won't do any harm and there are some useful things in Multiverse
[07:40] <arooni> Frogzoo: well say going from dapper to edgy... in general do i need to copmletely reinstalll ? or is there an upgrade path
[07:40] <VanessaE> dapper -> edgy is easy
[07:40] <tehchieftain> my usb slots wont auto detect, they only detect what is plugged in when i boot.  anyone know how to fix this?
[07:40] <Flannel> !upgrade | arooni
[07:40] <ubotu> arooni: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:40] <omegacenti> [vali] : Not sure if you caught the last comment.
[07:40] <sontek> Hey, I'm trying to switch my file server from OpenSUSE to Ubuntu but the installation keeps freezing at 69% (I let it sit for 3 days)  It doesn't actually freeze, I can use the other terminals and even kill the installation process to restart it.   The disk worked fine with another computer so thats not whats wrong.  Is there a way I can check what its freezing on?
[07:40] <Frogzoo> arooni: don't forget - it's not guaranteed feisty will fix your problem
[07:40] <[vali] > omegacenti: write the script, chmod 775 and put in /etc/init.d, then make a simbolic link in /etc/rc.2 called S1095resolution (or something) pointing to it
[07:41] <omegacenti> write what script?
[07:41] <VanessaE> in short:  change every occurrance of "dapper" to "edgy" in your /etc/apt/sources.list, apt-get update, apt-get dist upgrade, and pray. :-)
[07:41] <billy> anyone tried the kiba-docks howto on ubuntuforums lately.  looks like some folks are having difficulties.
[07:41] <VanessaE> er, dist-upgrade evenm
[07:41] <omegacenti> [vali] : Wow, my head has just been rushed over.
[07:41] <VonFluffy> wtf is wrong with ubuntyforums fonts did someone change them
[07:41] <Madpilot> VanessaE, that's no longer the suggested/supported upgrade method
[07:41] <VanessaE> oh?
[07:42] <Dougie> ok i'll be back on xchat
[07:42] <Madpilot> ubotu, upgrade | VanessaE
[07:42] <ubotu> VanessaE: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:42] <VanessaE> wfm, but I'll take your word for it :)
[07:42] <omegacenti> [vali] : I'm sorry but I might need a little help with that info
[07:42] <tehchieftain> my usb slots wont auto detect, they only detect what is plugged in when i boot.  anyone know how to fix this?
[07:42] <[vali] > omegacenti: you need to find the desired parameters to 915resolution
[07:42] <Madpilot> VanessaE, that said, using upgrade-manage is hella slow. It was far faster for me to torrent the Edgy ISO and reinstall than it was to upgrade Dapper->Edgy in place.
[07:42] <omegacenti> [vali] : also, it seems that 915resolution only changes what in the Vbiod, so I don't know if thats helpful
[07:42] <VanessaE> *nod*
[07:43] <omegacenti> [vali] : Oh boy.
[07:43] <billy> tehchieftain, i'm not sure about your system, but I have to turn that function on in my BIOS.
[07:44] <billy> tehchieftain, i guess that would be step one.  :)  after that I'm not sure how to help.
[07:44] <VanessaE> my husband used the old update method and it was dog slow, on my box I chose to do a full install
[07:44] <[vali] > omegacenti: ok... step by step...
[07:44] <omegacenti> [vali] : That would be VERY helpful.
[07:44] <VanessaE> that said, edgy -> feisty was a piece of cake :)
[07:44] <omegacenti> [vali] :  pm?
[07:44] <sontek> i'm looking at the log right now... it says 'Missing modules ide-core (linux ide support)'  does that mean its a bad disk?
[07:44] <sontek> even though it detects it just fine
[07:45] <[vali] > use "915resolution -l" and paste it somewhere
[07:45] <ekimus> is there a debootstrap rpm for ubuntu available? i can only find debian debootstrap packages and they don't know anything about edgy installation... :(
[07:45] <sontek> and then I get hdd errors hda: DMA timeout retry   hda: timeout waiting for dma, ide: failed opcode was: unknown: hda: drive not ready for command: hda atapi reset complete
[07:45] <Darkkish> My memory was at 300MB (out of 478MB)
[07:45] <Darkkish> with no programs running
[07:45] <bjv> i moved swap & root from /dev/hdc to /dev/hda. after the move & updateing resume= for the kernel, hibernate & powersaved cannot suspend the machine. hibernate will spin up the old drive /dev/hdc even if i spin it down before the suspend. rebooting and removing /dev/hdc from the machine entirely enables hibernate to properly suspend & resume.
[07:45] <Darkkish> and so i restarted
[07:45] <Darkkish> and now its back down to 100MB
[07:46] <noodles12> probably a dumb question but where do i go to search the ubuntu repos?
[07:46] <bjv> anyone familiar enough with swsusp in ubuntu as to how the drive could be interfering with suspending?
[07:46] <Darkkish> how do i not restart, to regain my ram?
[07:46] <VanessaE> packages.ubuntu.com
[07:46] <lepine_h> noodles12 apt-cache search TERM
[07:46] <VanessaE> darkkish: you don't - unused ram is wasted ram
[07:46] <savvas> hi, i'd like to stop Translation-en_US to stop appearing in my repositories, how can i do that? i think it's an edgy bug
[07:46] <jhornick> noodles: or aptitude search TERM
[07:46] <ekimus> Darkkish: do you mean 300MB where used (which is a good thing) or 300 MB out of 478 were accessible which would indicate bad ram...
[07:46] <omegacenti> [vali] : Done.
[07:47] <VanessaE> er, I misread that..
[07:47] <jhornick> Darkish: a lot of what's reported as being used is just cached data
[07:47] <uber_newb> hello, i'm attempting to do a 32 bit chroot, using the folllowing howto "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575&highlight=32+bit+chroot", in step 5 i execute the cmd "dchroot -d" and i get the following error... "W: No chroots are defined in /etc/schroot/schroot.conf
[07:47] <uber_newb> E: default: Chroot not found
[07:47] <uber_newb> "
[07:47] <[vali] > i mean... paste it in paste.ubuntu.nl
[07:47] <omegacenti> oh.
[07:47] <tehchieftain> my usb slots wont auto detect, they only detect what is plugged in when i boot.  anyone know how to fix this?
[07:47] <Darkkish> VanessaE, sure unused is ram is wasted, but not if its in need of being used by something else, especially ona  700MHz laptop
[07:48] <VanessaE> darkkish: seriously, in linux you don't have to do tricks like that
[07:48] <tehchieftain> my usb slot wont detect my wireless mouse adaptor after i boot, only works if i boot with it plugged in, anyone know how to fix?
[07:48] <Madpilot> Darkkish, Linux is far better than XP about RAM management, let your system use the RAM available.
[07:48] <VanessaE> the kernel will automatically reclaim memory as needed
[07:48] <omegacenti> [vali] : 915resolution -l http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9058/
[07:48] <VanessaE> better you should close apps you don't need, or reduce what you use if you're low on physical RAM
[07:49] <noodles12> lepine_h: thanks guy.
[07:49] <beg1689> hey... how do i obtain an ip from dhcp
[07:49] <bjv> yeah, cached ram is nothing. totally transparent.     if a new app is loading or something requests more space, it will just automatically start using the cache space
[07:49] <beg1689> and use it as my internet connection
[07:49] <jmiller565> !Linus
[07:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about linus - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:49] <VanessaE> and do stuff like running say afterstep or E or similar instead of kde/gnome
[07:50] <Darkkish> VanessaE, I closed all of my apps, nothing was running, and i was still at 300
[07:50] <jmiller565> !ubuntu
[07:50] <ubotu> Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuHowCome
[07:50] <VanessaE> that's normal
[07:50] <jhornick> Darkkish: its just system cache
[07:50] <Darkkish> if you say so
[07:50] <VanessaE> the system keeps that data cached
[07:50] <VanessaE> it will re-use that memory if it needs to
[07:50] <bjv> Darkkish: pretend you are using windows and /proc/memstat instead says "MS SuperFetch" instead of cache
[07:51] <omegacenti> [vali] : Done: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9058/
[07:51] <[vali] > ok
[07:51] <bjv> Darkkish: cache means the OS has no other use for that ram (yet) so it is holding commonly used hard disk files in ram
[07:51] <bjv> Darkkish: for faster access
[07:51] <VanessaE> so for example, if you call up a 300 MB image file in The GIMP, you'll see the cache empty out and most of it will go to that program
[07:51] <Mathersen> hi @ all
[07:51] <jhornick> ack hi
[07:52] <VanessaE> s/"most of it"/"most of the used RAM"/
[07:52] <omeil> Has anyone got that SEAR world forge client working?
[07:52] <tehchieftain>  my usb slot wont detect my wireless mouse adaptor after i boot, only works if i boot with it plugged in, anyone know how to fix?
[07:52] <dougie> woot xchat
[07:52] <Mathersen> Have following problem: Each time i run a 3D application, my pc freezes. I am using a Radeon 9600 card. ANy ideas?
[07:53] <uber_newb> is there an amd64 ubuntu irc
[07:53] <dougie> wow 137 updates availible...this could take a while
[07:53] <Mathersen> I solved this problem once adding a AGP mode "something" but i lost the paper i wrote it down.
[07:53] <omeil> crossover runs WoW better than wine people :)
[07:53] <tehchieftain> crossover
[07:53] <tehchieftain> wow?
[07:53] <tehchieftain> detail, now, links now give.
[07:53] <dougie> world of warcraft
[07:53] <tehchieftain> i know what it is
[07:53] <dougie> lol
[07:53] <tehchieftain> i was all hesitant about installing ubuntu, because of my wow stuff
[07:53] <arrenlex> tehchieftain: crossover = wine + hacks + $40
[07:53] <tehchieftain> but somoene mentioned it was possible to run it on linux
[07:53] <[vali] > omg... i cant paste XDD
[07:53] <dougie> yeah i would like to to see this too
[07:54] <omegacenti> [vali] : hehehe.
[07:54] <omeil> chief it is possible
[07:54] <VanessaE> you generally don't need to pay much attention to how much memory appears to be in use until you start getting to 100-200 MB more than your physical RAM (or more, depending on how you use your machine)
[07:54] <tehchieftain>  my usb slot wont detect my wireless mouse adaptor after i boot, only works if i boot with it plugged in, anyone know how to fix?
[07:54] <jhornick> wine does run wow last time I checked, but that was before BC
[07:54] <tehchieftain> orly
[07:54] <omeil> you need to pay for crossover tho. but wine is free and runs WoW pretty good.
[07:54] <VanessaE> e.g. if you're using lots of swap, and the machine thrashes too much, THEN you need to worry about RAM usage.  Otherwise, just ignore it :)
[07:54] <sontek> what does it mean if my installation is doing: hda: DMA timeout retry, hda: timeout waiting for DMA, hda: status timeout: status 0xd0 { busy }
[07:54] <dougie> how hard is it to setup?
[07:54] <sontek> if I wait long enough it works
[07:55] <timfrost> !repeat | tehchieftain
[07:55] <ubotu> tehchieftain: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[07:55] <dougie> last time i used wine i got the install screen to work for quake 3 and thats about it
[07:55] <VanessaE> sontek: old bug in the IDE driver
[07:55] <[vali] > omegacenti: write down this in a file -> http://paste-bin.com/5023
[07:55] <sontek> VanessaE: no its not an error?
[07:55] <beg1689> why would you playe quake 3 in wine?
[07:55] <VanessaE> nope
[07:55] <sontek> VanessaE: so. its not an error?*
[07:55] <jhornick> dougie: when I just copied the wow client off my windows box, and just ran under wine. I can't comment on the install under wine though
[07:55] <sontek> ok, thanks
[07:55] <beg1689> quake3 is native
[07:55] <[vali] > then chmod it 755
[07:55] <VanessaE> I've had perfectly good drives do that on perfectly good hardware
[07:56] <dougie> this was a long time ago
[07:56] <VanessaE> it's been that way since kernel 2.4.17 or something like that
[07:56] <beg1689> wow install on wine works perfect
[07:56] <tehchieftain> problem is, i dont have my wow cds anymore.
[07:56] <sontek> VanessaE: well its doing it for my cdrom, the drive itself is sda
[07:56] <dougie> how much tinkering does it take to get to run under wine?
[07:56] <omegacenti> [vali] : one sec while I figure out how to
[07:56] <beg1689> also you mentioned something i like about blizzards games, you can just copy the install directory anywhere and it works fine
[07:56] <VanessaE> odd
[07:56] <beg1689> to get what to run under wine?
[07:56] <VanessaE> afaik it's still just that old bug though
[07:57] <dougie> WoW
[07:57] <beg1689> none
[07:57] <[vali] > omegacenti: open gedit, save it, and change permissions to make it executable
[07:57] <b0b> I fixed my xserver and got my nvidia drivers to work with 3d acceleration
[07:57] <dougie> well i'll have to get that working then i suppose
[07:57] <beg1689> yay
[07:57] <omegacenti> [vali] : I think I changed its permissions, but how do I check?
[07:58] <beg1689> just check appdb
[07:58] <jhornick> vali: are you setting it up with the 1920x1440 resoultion?
[07:58] <Znuff> Hello. I seem to have some problems on Ubuntu Edgy related to Xgl. I've got Direct Renderign active in Xorg, but I can't make it work under Xgl. Can't figure out why. I've got an nVidia video card.
[07:58] <beg1689> tells you anything you might come accross
[07:58] <dougie> man...1 hour 16 min left of updateing....
[07:58] <beg1689> oh that reminds me, im using winblows right now cuase my linux just crapped out
[07:58] <[vali] > jhornick: no... the program should change that to 800x600x24
[07:58] <b0b> has anybody played that boson game
[07:58] <arrenlex> Znuff: If you have an nvidia card, why are you trying to use xgl?
[07:58] <beg1689> all the sudden the x server wont start anymore
[07:58] <beg1689> no changes, just wont start
[07:58] <beg1689> says no screens found
[07:58] <panfist> anyone familiar with the bcm43xx-fwcutter utility?
[07:58] <[vali] > omegacenti: open a term, then ls -l
[07:59] <omegacenti> -rwxr-xr-x
[07:59] <jhornick> vali: k since I have i910 on my laptop and was wondering if you had the massive resoultion magic =D
[07:59] <omeil> dougie: you got hit by those 13* updates?
[07:59] <Znuff> arrenlex, because it doesn't say anything about nvidia and xgl on the wiki?
[07:59] <arrenlex> Znuff: nvidia->aiglx
[07:59] <[vali] > omegacenti: ok... now copy it to /etc/init.d
[07:59] <omeil> b0b: Bonson?
[07:59] <omegacenti> one sec.
[07:59] <dougie> beg go into single user mode and run the xorg config
[07:59] <phil151> how do you get panel themes using beryl?
[07:59] <Znuff> o.O
[07:59] <dougie> omeil yea 137
[07:59] <arrenlex> Znuff: Well, I mean, I don't know for certain that you CAN'T use xgl, but why? aiglx is better and easier to set up.
[07:59] <b0b> no boson
[08:00] <Znuff> arrenlex, well, then thanks for the tip, I'll try to see
[08:00] <arrenlex> Znuff: I assume you're trying to run compiz or beryl?
[08:00] <Znuff> arrenlex, beryl
[08:00] <b0b> it is supposed to be like command and conquer
[08:00] <[vali] > jhornick: i dont even have a laptop :(
[08:00] <arrenlex> Znuff: apt-get install beryl. It'll run like a dream.
[08:00] <omeil> dougie: i didn't get all of them tho. i think it was like 40-45 meg of them where for openoffice so i unticked them lol :D
[08:00] <omegacenti> [vali] : Done.
[08:00] <omeil> whats beryl?
[08:00] <Znuff> arrenlex, and it will setup aiglx too?
[08:00] <jhornick> vali: I know but he has the same drivers and I was just asking, you may continue
[08:00] <[vali] > omegacenti: check permissions again...
[08:01] <Znuff> omeil, composite manager, like compiz
[08:01] <arrenlex> Znuff: aiglx is part of ubuntu now.
[08:01] <omegacenti> one sec.
[08:01] <Znuff> oki doki, thanks for the tips, I'll be back if I screw up
[08:01] <omegacenti> -rwxr-xr-x
[08:01] <omeil> oh ok. just got ubotu to msg me the info :)
[08:01] <arrenlex> Znuff: Make sure to go back to plain X. Get out of xgl.
[08:01] <Znuff> arrenlex, will do that, sure :)
[08:01] <Mathersen> Has nobody any idea what can i do?
[08:01] <TheMonkeyMoo> znuff: I got beryl running great on my laptop with an Nvidia 7300 after using automatix for the latest nvidia drivers (although imo envy works better for that) and just installing beryl.
[08:02] <omegacenti> [vali] : -rwxr-xr-x
[08:02] <[vali] > right... can you tell me the numbers in /etc/rc2.d/S##gdm ? (im with kubuntu right now
[08:02] <dougie> omeil: eh it wont take that long might as well let them go lol
[08:02] <panfist> is there a way to disable/re-enable my wireless NIC like you can in windows? i have to reboot several times in order to get full speed from wireless nic, most of the time it's just 1mb/s, when it should be 11mb/s, always full speed in windows
[08:02] <jhornick> panfist: ifup / ifdown <interface>
[08:02] <sontek> Hmm.. My installation is freezing on bootstrap.    Mar 1 20:21:55 debootstrap: setting up ubuntu-minimal (1.30) ...   and I let it sit at that point for 3 days and it didn't finish.   Anyone know what could cause that?
[08:02] <omeil> dougie: meh lol :) screw those updates :D
[08:02] <Znuff> uh, forgot to add beryl repos -_-
[08:02] <rbil> The MonekyMoo: from what I could determine, at least with automatix2 bleeder, it uses the envy script to install the drivers
[08:03] <omegacenti> [vali] : gedit /etc/rc2.d/S##gdm did not work too well.
[08:03] <skoenman> hey all
[08:03] <[vali] > omegacenti: no, no no... just "ls /etc/rc2.d | grep gdm"
[08:03] <TheMonkeyMoo> rbil: I was unaware of that. I used automatix on my laptop and then I found out about envy so I used envy on my desktop and that latter seemed to work faster
[08:03] <nonickforme> what would i use in ubuntu rather than chkconfig?
[08:04] <arrenlex> [vali] : Are you trying to add a bootscript?! XD
[08:04] <omegacenti> [vali] :  S13gdm
[08:04] <rbil> TheMonkeyMoo: well, I never did install envy, but found it here after running automatix :-)
[08:04] <omegacenti> no idea what that means.
[08:04] <[vali] > arrenlex: that weird program must be run before X... so before gdm
[08:04] <arrenlex> [vali] : You put it in /etc/init.d and then run update-rc.d [scriptname]  defaults
[08:05] <arrenlex> [vali] : Honestly. xD
[08:05] <rbil> TheMonkeyMoo: to confirm, on your laptop do ... locate envy .. and see whether it's there
[08:05] <arrenlex> [vali] : http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28
[08:05] <phil151> how do you get panel themes using beryl?
[08:05] <TheMonkeyMoo> rbil: that's a good idea; one sec

[08:06] <john> how can I install streamripper with apt-get?
[08:06] <arrenlex> omegacenti: So did [vali]  help you get it working?
[08:06] <dougie> is there a program thats simaler to netstumbler for linux?
[08:06] <skoenman> hmm so many questions so little answers
[08:06] <omegacenti> arrenlex: [vali]  is working on it right now.
[08:06] <[vali] > omegacenti: ok... whats the name of your script ?
[08:06] <omegacenti> step1
[08:07] <john> what do I need to add to my /etc/apt/sources.list  to be able to install streamripper with apt-get?
[08:07] <arrenlex> john: universe
[08:07] <omegacenti> [vali] : step1
[08:07] <[vali] > ok... then use "sudo update-rc.d step1 start 10 2"
[08:07] <omegacenti> alright
[08:08] <TheMonkeyMoo> rbil: either I do not have envy installed or it is hiding.
[08:08] <omegacenti> [vali] : update-rc.d: error: expected runlevel [0-9S]  (did you forget "." ?
[08:08] <[vali] > that will make a symbolik link to launch the script befor gdm starts, doing the trick (i guess)
[08:08] <rbil> TheMonkeyMoo: maybe it only comes with automatix2 bleeder?
[08:08] <skoenman> is there anybody who can maybe help me i need some help on setting up a raid server ??? Is it possable to install raid from the server setup???
[08:09] <TheMonkeyMoo> rbil: maybe, I have automatix2 installed, not bleeder
[08:09] <omegacenti> [vali] : update-rc.d: error: expected runlevel [0-9S]  (did you forget "." ?
[08:09] <[vali] > omegacenti: yes, i forgot a . XD
[08:09] <[vali] > "sudo update-rc.d step1 start 10 2 ."
[08:10] <omegacenti> [vali] : Done.
[08:10] <els> Home and my data are seperate from my root partition.  If I do a fresh install, but only format my root partition will I have to reinstall drivers and codecs?
[08:10] <omegacenti> even though I have no idea what just happened.
[08:10] <rbil> els: yes, as those aren't installed in your home directory
[08:10] <[vali] > ok... lets check tha a symbolic link was made... "ls -l /etc/rc2.d | grep step"
[08:11] <omegacenti> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  15 2007-03-07 01:09 S10step1 -> ../init.d/step1
[08:11] <els> Ok great, but the settings for my desktop and various programs will be stored correct?
[08:11] <skoenman> has anybody installed a raid system before with raid 1 ????
[08:11] <rbil> els: should be
[08:11] <TraceGreen> hello, are there any tools to test hardware in linux? such as harddisk, memory, video card etc.
[08:12] <els> rbil: thanks
[08:12] <[vali] > ok... now lets change the xorg conf. Edit the file and use default depth of 24 and resolution of 800x600 with 24 bits (change 16 with 24 :P)
[08:12] <omegacenti> [vali] : lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  15 2007-03-07 01:09 S10step1 -> ../init.d/step1
[08:12] <skoenman> yeah use ubcd TraceGreen
[08:12] <skoenman> it works like a bomb you boot from it
[08:13] <omegacenti> Done.
[08:13] <TraceGreen> skoenman, Ultimate Boot CD? let me look at it, thanks!
[08:13] <skoenman> it uses the tools from seagate and if it says its faulty it is
[08:13] <rbil> TraceGreen: when you're booting Ubuntu, hit esc when it starts booting up so you get at the Grub menu, then you can select to run memtest to test your memory
[08:13] <[vali] > pray a bit and reboot XD
[08:13] <dougie> ok i'm back my son was crying so does anyone know of a program simaler to netstumbler for linux?
[08:13] <skoenman> yeah
[08:13] <skoenman> thats the one
[08:13] <john> what do I need to add to my /etc/apt/sources.list  to be able to install streamripper with apt-get?
[08:13] <omegacenti> [vali] : Is it possible that the "x" between 800 and 600 should be capitalized?
[08:13] <[vali] > omegacenti: no
[08:13] <omegacenti> k
[08:13] <omegacenti> restarting.
[08:14] <TraceGreen> rbil, so, thanks. and what about harddisk?
[08:14] <arrenlex> [vali] : You do realise that if it doesn't work when you run it from the command line, it won't work if you try to run from a boot script for the same reason, right? xD
[08:14] <skoenman> dougie i know there is let me have a look
[08:14] <dougie> skoenman: thankyou!
[08:14] <[vali] > arrenlex: yes... but the only way it works is running it before X starts... no other way :(
[08:15] <TraceGreen> skoenman, ubck base on windows, right?
[08:15] <arrenlex> [vali] : Oh... hm... I guess I set it up on my laptop before I installed a display manager, which is why it worked. Good luck, then...
[08:15] <skoenman> no its self bootable progs
[08:16] <skoenman> some run on linux some on freedos
[08:16] <TraceGreen> skoenman, thanks!
[08:16] <sontek> anyone have ideas why an installation of ubuntu-minimal would lock up on setting up ubuntu-minimal (1.30) ...
[08:16] <skoenman> its a iso i always use it to scan my hardware and i use it to write my fault report
[08:17] <l2s> Anyone know how to disable all edgy power mgt features from the command line
[08:17] <skoenman> i would go as far as to say it gets 99% of the problems the other 1% is software
[08:17] <l2s> espcially nic cards that goto sleep
[08:17] <rbil> TraceGreen: what do you want to check on the harddisk? look at ... man hdparm   man fsck   man fdisk
[08:17] <TraceGreen> rbil, thanks!
[08:18] <skoenman> remember that only checks for hardware defecs
[08:18] <[vali] > here he is !
[08:18] <omegacenti> [vali] : With bad news
[08:18] <skoenman> dougie try amarok
[08:18] <skoenman> i think
[08:18] <l2s> can someone help?
[08:18] <dougie> skoenman: apt-get install amarok?
[08:19] <skoenman> yeah try that
[08:19] <[vali] > damn... sorry then
[08:19] <skoenman> or you can just do a search in google
[08:19] <LordLimecat> anyone use gnump3d?
[08:19] <omegacenti> Oh well.. which one did we use? which mode?
[08:20] <kidbuntu> On what folder I can find the cookies of firefox?
[08:20] <LordLimecat> anyone generally good at troubleshooting want to help me with a startup issue with gnump3d?
[08:20] <omegacenti> [vali] : Sorry, which mode was that?
[08:20] <dougie>  skoenman: i see a lot of Amarok music player
[08:21] <skoenman> hmm no
[08:21] <kidbuntu> !cookies]
[08:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cookies]  - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:21] <kidbuntu> !cookies
[08:21] <skoenman> wait
[08:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cookies - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:21] <[vali] > we overwrite 1920x1440x32 to add 800x600x24
[08:21] <dougie> lol yeah its a music manager
[08:22] <omegacenti> [vali] : and what did the script do, or was that it
[08:22] <arrenlex> [vali] : 32 == 24.
[08:22] <omegacenti> I'm gonna try something real quick.
[08:22] <l2s> any guru know a command line way to disable all power management
[08:23] <arrenlex> [vali] : The extra bits are transparency nothing actually uses anyway.
[08:23] <skoenman> i use to have a lot of progs on my laptop but i reloaded so yeah i have to try and remember them
[08:23] <VonFluffy> anyone know how to prevent xscreensaver starting when playing a movie in gxine ?
[08:23] <[vali] > i know, i know... but that didnt work either. Once i had a card who didnt work with 32, only with 24 (and old Savage4, i guess)

[08:24] <skoenman> try that
[08:24] <arrenlex> [vali] : Somewhere, in some config, there is buried Option "Works" "false" :(
[08:25] <[vali] > omegacenti: that script changes one resolution (with 32 bpp) with another (different and 24bpp). It must be run before the X starts (gdm in this case) and thats why we need a script at startup
[08:25] <dougie> iwlist sounds about right
[08:25] <[vali] > arrenlex: sure ! XD
[08:26] <X704> Hi
[08:26] <absolutarisch> HI
[08:26] <absolutarisch> HOW ARE???
[08:26] <X704> oww, me ears
[08:27] <[vali] > if it was a CRT i will probably blame the refresh... but in a flat pannel i should be the graphic card :(
[08:27] <dougie> ok i don't think iwlist will do what i want
[08:27] <X704> DON"T TALK SO LOUD, please? lol
[08:27] <scv> ...
[08:27] <X704> ...
[08:27] <skoenman> hmm you want to be able to crack wep keys???
[08:28] <absolutarisch> illegal
[08:28] <X704> not really
[08:28] <absolutarisch> no illgela talk
[08:28] <dougie> lol no
[08:28] <shatrat> its not illegal
[08:28] <absolutarisch> hacking is illegal
[08:28] <dougie> just scan for networks
[08:28] <absolutarisch> hacking is illegal
[08:28] <X704> I meant I don't really want to
[08:28] <absolutarisch> dont do that
[08:28] <X704> lol
[08:28] <absolutarisch> that sucks
[08:28] <scv> skoenman: join the FON members
[08:28] <shatrat> aircrack is in the universe repositories
[08:28] <skoenman> he
[08:28] <skoenman> ???
[08:28] <scv> FON
[08:28] <dougie> will it scan for networks?
[08:28] <X704> do it on your own stuff if you HAVE to do it
[08:29] <shatrat> dougie, I haven't actually used it, no laptop
[08:29] <kraut> moin
[08:29] <skoenman> wat was the prog u used???
[08:29] <skoenman> airsnort???
[08:29] <dougie> airsnore i've heard of that
[08:29] <kidbuntu> How do you view the cookies of firefox?
[08:30] <skoenman> airsnort is your best bet if you dont have a broadcom or prism chipset
[08:30] <skoenman> otherwise you screwed
[08:30] <X704> anyway, how would I go about changing my rez to something higher than 1024x768?
[08:30] <dougie> why is it that you can only apt-get one thing at a time
[08:30] <skoenman> hmm
[08:31] <skoenman> put the progs next to eachother with spaces
[08:31] <skoenman> in between
[08:31] <scv> if he used a rare chip, can airsnort work?
[08:31] <dougie> !resolution | X704
[08:31] <ubotu> X704: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[08:31] <shatrat> dougie, thats not true, you can apt-get install multiple packages at once
[08:31] <dougie> it says that something else is useing apt-get or something of that sort
[08:32] <shatrat> dougie, you cant have more than one program installing software at once
[08:32] <shatrat> dougie, you can use one program to install multiple packages
[08:32] <dougie> ok
[08:32] <omegacenti> [vali] : confirmed that max resolution of this PC is 1280x768 at 32 bits.
[08:32] <absolutarisch> a woman broke my heart today
[08:32] <skoenman> k is that what he meant
[08:32] <dougie> so if i apt-get -d then it will download and then apt-get install later
[08:32] <absolutarisch> i think im going to be gay
[08:32] <absolutarisch> anyone want to be my boyfriend? :)
[08:33] <skoenman> i think prism/intel/orinoco is supported in airsnort
[08:33] <skoenman> can go and have a look on the site
[08:33] <Symmetria> anyone here use pure-ftpd?
[08:33] <absolutarisch> come on guys
[08:33] <absolutarisch> stop talking about cracking
[08:33] <dougie> absolutarisch: sorry married and just had a baby
[08:33] <skoenman> airsnort is a scanning tool
[08:34] <skoenman> o yeah i remembered dougie
[08:34] <absolutarisch> had a baby?
[08:34] <skoenman> wifiradar was the other prog i used
[08:34] <dougie> he didn't say anything about cracking...we are looking for  a program to search for wireless networks and thats it
[08:34] <dougie> ok lemme look
[08:34] <absolutarisch> ok
[08:34] <absolutarisch> i thought you want to crack
[08:34] <skoenman> i know wifi radar works even on prism and broadcom
[08:35] <dougie> its an Intel Pro Wireless 2200
[08:35] <skoenman> cool then it should not give any hassels
[08:35] <absolutarisch> whats the best way to transfer 10 gb of mp3s from ntfs to ext3?
[08:35] <skoenman> cp help
[08:36] <absolutarisch> will utf-8 work?
[08:36] <[vali] > omegacenti: try overwriting the first one... (i mean 30 instead 5c in the script), but its only a blind try
[08:36] <absolutarisch> i had damaged names last time i tried
[08:36] <l2s> could really use some help, need to know how to disable power mgt from teh command line
[08:36] <l2s> any ideas?
[08:36] <skoenman> scv culd yu help me???
[08:37] <omegacenti> [vali] : So modify step1?
[08:37] <[vali] > omegacenti: you want 800x600, am i wrong?
[08:37] <omegacenti> yes.
[08:37] <[vali] > yes, modify the script
[08:37] <eden> Hey anyone know about this gnome cd/dvd creator crashing problem?
[08:37] <absolutarisch> ska people, ska ska ska people
[08:37] <[vali] > but 90% it will not work
[08:38] <dougie> wifiradar looks like what i want
[08:38] <dougie> almost done with 100 of the 137 updates
[08:38] <[vali] > omegacenti: wait a moment... who is the owner of the script ?
[08:38] <omegacenti> [vali] : What do you mean?
[08:39] <riaal> Im in love whit Amarok, It owns iTunes!!
[08:39] <dougie> riaal: does it really?
[08:39] <shatrat> riaal, using "play" from the command line owns iTunes
[08:39] <[vali] > forget it... the owner doesnt matter unless its a suid one
[08:39] <shatrat> Im having trouble thinking of a media player that is worse than itunes
[08:39] <drin> shatrat: hehe : )
[08:40] <dougie> I KNOW ONE!
[08:40] <dougie> Windows media player
[08:40] <dougie> thats deffinately worse then itunes.....
[08:40] <shatrat> ok
[08:40] <[vali] > windows mierda player, yeah
[08:40] <riaal> shatrat, =)
[08:40] <drin> I have a problem with my shells, I can't open ALT+F[1-6]  it's all distorted, my gnome does work.
[08:40] <LordLimecat> WMP isnt bad o.0
[08:40] <LordLimecat> REAL is bad
[08:40] <shatrat> blasphemer
[08:40] <LordLimecat> oh come on
[08:40] <dougie> yeah thats true nothing is worse then real player...
[08:40] <[vali] > LordLimecat: you have a point, yes
[08:40] <LordLimecat> VLC plays anything, but does it have a media library?
[08:40] <drin> anyone know what i should search for, for troubleshooting?
[08:41] <shatrat> media libraries are for people who get lost in filesystems
[08:41] <LordLimecat> wmp is built in, it plays stuff, no crap is preloaded with it, and it has a library
[08:41] <LordLimecat> or who have 22 gigs of stuff to organize
[08:41] <LordLimecat> like me
[08:41] <dougie> your talking about windows apps lol....anything in linux is better cause its free and usually is much better and faster :)
[08:41] <shatrat> im up to around 140 gigs
[08:41] <shatrat> thank you usenet
[08:41] <LordLimecat> dougie--VLC works for the odd file or 2....
[08:41] <LordLimecat> but feed it a 100mb mp3 and see what happens
[08:41] <LordLimecat> you wont like it :D
[08:42] <LordLimecat> (ie, podcast)
[08:42] <dougie> usenet is expensive....the one i use is much cheaper..lol
[08:42] <TheMonkeyMoo> I've had good luck with rhythmbox
[08:42] <LordLimecat> amarok is nice, tho
[08:42] <[vali] > i really like a linux port of foobar :(
[08:42] <LordLimecat> if it didnt lock up my cpu -_-
[08:42] <shatrat> dougie, most broadband ISPs provide a usenet server
[08:42] <Symmetria> fuck finally have my root partition on my new system on a raid-1 mirror
[08:42] <TheMonkeyMoo> haven't tried any podcasts, though
[08:42] <LordLimecat> never got into foobar
[08:42] <Symmetria> what a mission
[08:42] <Symmetria> (solaris)
[08:42] <dougie> mine supposovly does but i can't figure out how to use it....they don't seem to list it anywhere
[08:43] <dougie> comcast...
[08:43] <mytruehero> is there an equivalent of ctrl + alt + delete in ubuntu? VMware keeps freezing my system, and I'm not sure how to get back without rebooting
[08:43] <LordLimecat> seriously, if yer gonna bash microsoft, dont bash their GOOD works
[08:43] <[vali] > LordLimecat: you need a bit of "tuning", but then is awesome
[08:43] <LordLimecat> wmp is one of their better accomplishments IMO
[08:43] <drin> mytruehero:  CTRL + ALT + Backspace
[08:43] <LordLimecat> along with excel and....er...
[08:43] <LordLimecat> yea
[08:43] <LordLimecat> thats it
[08:43] <shatrat> dougie, http://www.comcast.net/help/faq/index.jsp?faq=Newsgroups118224 just try reading around
[08:43] <LordLimecat> vali--you mean mysql?
[08:43] <LordLimecat> im gettin there slowly
[08:43] <[vali] > LordLimecat: well i really like the file explorer (please dont kill me)
[08:44] <LordLimecat> which, amarok?
[08:44] <LordLimecat> o.0
[08:44] <LordLimecat> its nice
[08:44] <[vali] > no, the windows file explorer is the only m$ thing i like
[08:44] <LordLimecat> i think theres some idea that windows is the enemy in people's eyes o.0
[08:44] <dougie> ...if only i knew the primary email address and pass now...lol
[08:44] <LordLimecat> its an alternative, and its competition, which is GOOOD
[08:44] <LordLimecat> competition has given us vista, which is forcing fiesty to include compiz
[08:44] <[vali] > i hate wmp XD
[08:45] <dougie> have to utfigure that o
[08:45] <dougie> have to figure that out*
[08:46] <phil151> how do you get panel themes using beryl?
[08:46] <LordLimecat> aaaah i cant figure kibadock out :(
[08:46] <shatrat> LordLimecat, are you kidding? compiz has been around much longer than aero.  There were some distros that included compiz by default even before vista came out
[08:46] <billy> should fstab read /dev/fd0 for the floppy disk drive?
[08:47] <LordLimecat> shatrat--from my understanding...
[08:47] <LordLimecat> the whole reason somethin like compiz will be INCLUDED BY DEFAULT in fiesty is to compete with aero
[08:47] <LordLimecat> regardless of who came first
[08:47] <Minibnz> hi all can anyone help me with Kannel?
[08:47] <shatrat> the ubuntu maintainers dont really care about competing with vista
[08:47] <LordLimecat> most users would never have seen compiz were it not for the whole vista/3d desktop craze, methinks
[08:47] <LordLimecat> want a link?
[08:47] <Minibnz> i need to fing out what the ERRNO's mean
[08:47] <LordLimecat> to shuttleworths blog?
[08:48] <LordLimecat> or maybe its the fiesty launchpad entry
[08:48] <LordLimecat> either way, the main reason given for including it was to compete with vista--to give users a reason to switch
[08:48] <billy> is /dev/fd0 the floppy drive?
[08:48] <omeil> has anyone been able to get cdemu to work with the nat scripts?
[08:48] <shatrat> billy, yes
[08:48] <Minibnz> billy: yes it is... the floppy drive
[08:49] <billy> shatrat, Minibnz: thank you.  for some reason fstab didn't have this default.  wonder why.
[08:49] <Minibnz> billy: you access the files thru /media/
[08:49] <[vali] > the reason is that for almost 50% of newcomers thats the first thing they try to install
[08:49] <omeil> if the floppy drive is mounted to that folder
[08:49] <shatrat> billy, because the drive isnt mounted, the disks in it are mounted when you put them in
[08:50] <LordLimecat> *cries*
[08:50] <LordLimecat> kiba is making fun of me
[08:50] <LordLimecat> why is it just a little...barber shop thing
[08:50] <TuTUx> LordLimecat, have you tried mplayer, it's a good alternative if you need a library
[08:50] <LordLimecat> i think i didnt like it
[08:50] <LordLimecat> amarok i like
[08:50] <LordLimecat> and for windows, when i use it, musiccube or wmp
[08:50] <billy> Minibnz: it displays empty.  that wuold be b/c fstab is incorrect, right?
[08:50] <LordLimecat> vlc when i just wanna play
[08:51] <[vali] > mplayer with a library? where? when? how?
[08:51] <[vali] > and... why?
[08:51] <dougie>
[08:52] <LordLimecat> what i REALLY need is somethin to tag my files
[08:52] <LordLimecat> like the godfather for windows
[08:52] <clust> Hi, my keyboard sometimes stops to respond when I using firefox. After minimizing and maximazing the firefox window the keyboard starts to work again. Can anybody help me?
[08:52] <[vali] > LordLimecat: id3 only?
[08:52] <billy> Minibnz: /media/floppy0 reads blank even though there's a full disc in it.
[08:52] <LordLimecat> ANYTHIN
[08:52] <LordLimecat> somethin to bring order
[08:52] <omeil> has anyone tried tremulous?
[08:52] <Minibnz> billy: i get the same problem... sorry i am new to this as well...  you might still have to mount the dev... i will look into it for you...
[08:53] <LordLimecat> trem rocks :D
[08:53] <LordLimecat> painsaw ftw
[08:53] <omeil> im just downloading it now
[08:53] <billy> Minibnz: thanks.  if I can resolve, I'll post to you as well.
[08:53] <[vali] > LordLimecat: the best i found in linux is easytag and exfalso
[08:53] <LordLimecat> is that in default repos?
[08:53] <pastrami> hey guys, had a quick question, I just installed ubuntu and it asked me reboot ... I did but it didn't boot into ubuntu but instead into xp instead ... any suggestions?
[08:53] <Minibnz> billy: try issuing this command... sudo mount /dev/fd0
[08:53] <eden> I am having an ubuntu problem, can anyone help?
[08:53] <[vali] > multiverse i think
[08:53] <omeil> trem?
[08:54] <Minibnz> billy: then do a ls /media/floppy0
[08:54] <omeil> 85% :)
[08:54] <Minibnz> that will allow you to see the files..
[08:54] <billy> will do Minibnz.
[08:54] <LordLimecat> now heres the thing, vali
[08:54] <LordLimecat> godfather had mass-file tools
[08:54] <[vali] > in window$ i use the builtin foobar tagger
[08:54] <LordLimecat> like tagging every file in a directory with the directory name
[08:54] <Minibnz> billy; it worked for me if you have issues still then you fstab file is inccorrect
[08:54] <LordLimecat> can easytag do that?
[08:54] <LordLimecat> or is there somethin that can?
[08:54] <LordLimecat> cause manual editing would take forever
[08:55] <[vali] > ill check it
[08:55] <omeil> i need a faster internet connection -_-
[08:55] <Minibnz> billy: when you issue the mount command the disc should start to make noises... as it reads the structure
[08:55] <billy> Minibnz.  the darn thing isn't even plugged into a power sournce.      Good folks at ubuntu.  Much nicer than Sabayon Linux folks.
[09:00] <riaal> I can't open the terminal?? It just stalls for a while then closes again =((
[09:00] <LordLimecat> how do i change my refresh rates available?
[09:00] <dougie> the updates are almost done!!! i'm guessing i'll have to restart x or something when its done...
[09:00] <LordLimecat> its not in xorg
[09:01] <LordLimecat> and i need above 50hz
[09:01] <LordLimecat> -_-
[09:01] <omeil> yup dougie u do
[09:01] <Minibnz> lord: it should be i get teh option to set rate
[09:01] <dougie> run the xorg config and at the end go to advanced
[09:01] <riaal> is there any viruses for ubuntu?
[09:01] <dougie> and you can manually set your refresh rates
[09:01] <LordLimecat> probably
[09:01] <Minibnz> lord: maybe chooose the advanced option or medium
[09:01] <omeil> I think the refresh rate depends on what res u are on
[09:01] <billy> riaal, one time I heard of a guy intentionally running viruses with Wine.  that's about it.
[09:01] <LordLimecat> other res's DO let me go higher
[09:01] <omeil> oh yeah forgot about that ...Do i need a virus proggy for ubuntu?
[09:02] <LordLimecat> to a whopping 51 hz
[09:02] <[vali] > riaal: there is no viruses in the wild for any linux
[09:02] <TheMonkeyMoo> tehchieftain: hmm, that's the problem I had with mine; I found another solution by googling but it didn't work for me let me see if I can find it again
[09:02] <tehchieftain> thanks man
[09:02] <omeil> well UBUNTU FTW!!
[09:02] <dougie> omeil no worries about viruses
[09:02] <riaal> [vali] , great, no need for an extra firewall?
[09:02] <dougie> even osx has only had like 2 viruses in the past couple years for it and thats it
[09:02] <omeil> you have to reset dougie :P
[09:02] <dougie> yeah i know lol
[09:02] <billy> riaal, it's always a good idea to have a firewall.  use firestarter.
[09:02] <LordLimecat> there is no command starting with xo---
[09:03] <Minibnz> the osx viruii were only made as proof of concept..
[09:03] <LordLimecat> or xconfig
[09:03] <[vali] > extra? did you think 2 firewalls are better than one ?
[09:03] <LordLimecat> you mean nvidia-xconfig?
[09:03] <riaal> I can't turn off my computer!!!!! HELP
[09:03] <omeil> I don't think anything can effect the ubuntu system since the virus would require a password to copy files neways
[09:03] <LordLimecat> ctrl+alt+f5+del
[09:03] <billy> riaal, open a termal.  type sudo halt.
[09:03] <riaal> I can't use the menues and terminal wont open!!
[09:03] <billy> unplug the bastard.
[09:03] <riaal> :'(
[09:03] <eden> 2 firewalls are better then 1 if you are on one side and a fire is on the other...
[09:03] <LordLimecat> ctrl-alt-f5-delete will restart
[09:03] <Minibnz> lord: its a pkg reconfigure xserver-xorg.conf  or somehtin g similar
[09:03] <[vali] > the only way is using a xploit on a privileged server...
[09:03] <omeil> riall
[09:03] <meborc> riaal - hold down the power button for 4 sec
[09:04] <LordLimecat> meborc--thats the BAD shutdown
[09:04] <riaal> meborc, that going to kill the filesystem?
[09:04] <omeil> or just try ctrl-alt-delete. then click restart at the login window
[09:04] <LordLimecat> try switching to the other consoles
[09:04] <LordLimecat> to.0
[09:04] <riaal> LordLimecat,  yeh
[09:04] <Madpilot> riaal, Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a text login. Ctrl+Alt+F7 will get you back to the graphical screen
[09:04] <[vali] > pull the plug
[09:04] <LordLimecat> ctrl+alt+f5+delete will restart
[09:04] <meborc> jeah... i know it is bad... but it seems there is no other way
[09:04] <LordLimecat> um, other consoles
[09:04] <LordLimecat> :D
[09:04] <omeil> sudo reboot at the console
[09:05] <Minibnz> riaal then use alt f# where the # is any tty upto 6
[09:05] <LordLimecat> (f8 works too)
[09:05] <Minibnz> i think that is the serial port or somthing
[09:05] <LordLimecat> o.0
[09:05] <meborc> Lord - your right ofcourse... ahh... i must get some sleep
[09:05] <meborc> :)
[09:05] <TheMonkeyMoo> tehcheiftan: ok, this may make your screen go all wonky but you can try: right-click on your beryl manager (little ruby in the system tray by the clock), go to advanced beryl options > rendering path > copy. when I tried it, my screen looked like it changed to a massively oversized resolution on a crt; I had to remember where the icon was weithout bveing able to see it to undo it (I couldn't find the config  file to repair it in termin
[09:05] <LordLimecat> :D
[09:05] <LordLimecat> the 4 finger salute!
[09:05] <BobZero> i need some help while installing openssh
[09:06] <LordLimecat> ctrl+alt+f5+del :D
[09:06] <Minibnz> lord: is your f8 option just a blank screen?

[09:06] <LordLimecat> always assumed it was just goofing off behind my back
[09:06] <Minibnz> ahhh might be your serial port..

[09:07] <BobZero> ?
[09:07] <[vali] > i usually do a ctrl+alt+backspace and then ctrl+alt+supr (before xdm restarts)
[09:07] <Minibnz> i have a gsm modem connected to com0.. but nothing comes up on my screen...
[09:07] <omeil> limecate what did u mean before about trem only uses 2kb bwidth?
[09:07] <BobZero> nobody here who likes to help me?
[09:07] <LordLimecat> ctrl+alt+backspace hates me
[09:07] <LordLimecat> bob, speak up
[09:07] <LordLimecat> whats yer issue :D
[09:07] <Minibnz> lord: i will reboot and check my bios...
[09:07] <TheMonkeyMoo> tehcheiftain: I don't know then
[09:07] <BobZero> i starte installing
[09:07] <omeil> LordLimecat: ctrl+alt+backspace loves me :)
[09:07] <jack> anyone here had much experience with root on lvm with ubuntu?
[09:07] <BobZero> type ./configure
[09:07] <tehchieftain> anyone know why beryl isnt loading any window decorators?  when i load emerald as the decorator it just takes the borders off all my windows
[09:07] <TheMonkeyMoo> tehcheiftain: try changing it to automatic then
[09:08] <antihec_> BobZero: why don't you just install the ubuntu package?
[09:08] <BobZero> but i got the error "can't find recent openssl libcrpyto"
[09:08] <TheMonkeyMoo> tehcheiftain : and then reload the window decorator
[09:08] <LordLimecat> tehchieftain, make sure you installed all packages, you should also run "beryl-manager", NOT beryl, and reboot after the install
[09:08] <tehchieftain> nadda
[09:08] <jack> I have just upgraded to edgy but have not yet rebooted
[09:08] <[vali] > BobZero: what are you trying to do?
[09:08] <BobZero> ubuntu package?
[09:08] <tehchieftain> okay, ill be back, going to reboot.
[09:08] <jack> need to rebuild the initrd with lvm i think
[09:08] <BobZero> install openssh
[09:08] <LordLimecat> that issue with window borders isnt the decorator
[09:08] <jack> but don't know how
[09:09] <LordLimecat> its somethin else
[09:09] <antihec_> BobZero: there is an ubuntu package "ssh-server" that contains openssh.
[09:09] <Minibnz> bob: have you tried apt-get install openssh-server?
[09:09] <LordLimecat> generally occurs durin install somehow
[09:09] <Minibnz> i had to do manually
[09:09] <omeil> whats openssh?
[09:09] <antihec_> BobZero: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware
[09:09] <[vali] > BobZero: then you can use "apt-get install openssh-server" OR "aptitude install openssh-server" OR use synaptic
[09:09] <LordLimecat> i have teh coolest domain name evar
[09:09] <LordLimecat> limecat.homelinux.com:8888
[09:10] <BobZero> f***
[09:10] <Minibnz>  omeil: it lets you have a terminal on a remote box... makes the ubuntu think you are almost at the keyboard...
[09:10] <BobZero> it cant be as easy as it is
[09:10] <antihec_> BobZero: it is :)
[09:10] <[vali] > BobZero: yes, it is
[09:10] <Minibnz> really it is bob
[09:10] <Minibnz> i was stunned when flaccid set up for me
[09:10] <[vali] > wellcom to the wonderfull world of apt
[09:10] <Minibnz> apt-get rules...
[09:10] <LordLimecat> why is aptitude better than apt-get
[09:11] <Minibnz> umm i dunno
[09:11] <LordLimecat> iheard it was o.0
[09:11] <BobZero> since two days i got flying fingers hacking commands to the blinking cursor and the it is so easy?
[09:11] <Minibnz> different packages?
[09:11] <[vali] > i dont know... im still using dselect :P
[09:11] <LordLimecat> no, all packages the same
[09:11] <LordLimecat> syntax is same too
[09:11] <LordLimecat> but someone said aptitude was better somehow
[09:11] <BobZero> where i can get a list of all programms that are able to install this way
[09:11] <antihec_> LordLimecat: it's not "better" but has a few comfy features. pressing "r" to see reverse dependencies is useful sometimes.
[09:11] <b0b> I was stunned earlier when i actually got my nvidia  card to work earlier after i had been reading all kinds of issues about doing just that
[09:11] <LordLimecat> bob
[09:11] <meborc> it is easier to uninstall stuff you installed via aptitude
[09:11] <dougie> i've heard that emerge was better.....but i'm not sure...seems about the same to me
[09:12] <LordLimecat> open add-remove
[09:12] <LordLimecat> or synaptic
[09:12] <Minibnz> lord: i stand corrected... like i said earlier i am still new to this...
[09:12] <Minibnz> apt-get list
[09:12] <tehchieftain> didnt help =(
[09:12] <mneptok> dougie: emerge and apt* are vastly different
[09:12] <LordLimecat> someone asked me, "why cant i add ALL repositories that are out there to my sources.list
[09:12] <LordLimecat> "
[09:12] <dougie> ok i'll be back time for a reboot
[09:12] <LordLimecat> :D
[09:12] <LordLimecat> wouldnt that be great?
[09:12] <dougie> well emerge compiles stuff for the computer completely
[09:12] <[vali] > LordLimecat: it will be a pain for sure XD
[09:13] <LordLimecat> :D
[09:13] <LordLimecat> and then apt-get install *
[09:13] <LordLimecat> XD
[09:13] <b0b> for all of you newer to the linux community www.linuxquestions.org is an awesome resource
[09:13] <LordLimecat> google ftw
[09:13] <[vali] > a dependencies nightmare O_o
[09:13] <Minibnz> flaccid has pointed me to that page once or twice...
[09:13] <LordLimecat> vali--you could just dl all dependencies
[09:13] <LordLimecat> :D
[09:13] <dougie> but i mean they work pretty much the same...other then emerge takes FOREVER  anyways brb
[09:14] <BobZero> ok
[09:14] <Minibnz> mnoptok: heheheh
[09:14] <LordLimecat> hold on a sec, i wanna test somethin
[09:14] <BobZero> thx
[09:14] <tuxcrafter> hello guys how do i manually add a new network card to the configuration files?
[09:14] <Minibnz> bobZero is not b0b... sorry!!!
[09:14] <mneptok> tuxcrafter: why would you do that?
[09:14] <[vali] > LordLimecat: but sometimes a package want some "war" against another one :P
[09:15] <Minibnz> tuxcrafter: be carefull... my box freaks when i reboot... it keeps renaming ETH1
[09:15] <omeil> LordLimecat: does tremulous have any good servers?
[09:15] <[vali] > it happens with even the official ones
[09:15] <tuxcrafter> mneptok: because I added a new network card but to get it working i have to manually restart the network deamon so something in config files are wrong
[09:16] <antihec_> tuxcrafter: edit /etc/network/interfaces
[09:16] <LordLimecat> this will be funny
[09:16] <mneptok> tuxcrafter: /etc/network/interfaces should auto-populate at boot
[09:16] <LordLimecat> apt-get install a* e* i* o* u*
[09:16] <LordLimecat> :D
[09:16] <omeil> oh everyone :) Age Of Wonder runs good on Wine...if anyone knows what that game is :D
[09:16] <LordLimecat> ill let you know the size
[09:16] <antihec_> tuxcrafter: be sure do read "man interfaces"
[09:16] <Minibnz> lord: hheheh
[09:16] <LordLimecat> XD
[09:16] <LordLimecat> its still selecting packages
[09:16] <LordLimecat> :D

[09:16] <BobZero> can i dell the openssh and openssl folders

[09:16] <nknwd> hello all. i'm currently logged in with user X and running KDE. In a terminal, i've SU to use Y. Now, HOW do i run a graphical application as user Y in user X's KDE without getting an error about no screens found or something?
[09:17] <omeil> Jesus something is wrong with ubuntu and my Vid card glxgears is running at like 2 fps
[09:17] <[vali] > BobZero: the sources you downloaded ?
[09:17] <antihec_> BobZero: the source you downloaded? you don't need that.
[09:17] <tuxcrafter> antihec_: mneptok i changed that file but it was not enough the network card will not connect automatic at booting
[09:17] <BobZero> i created them while trying installing ssh
[09:17] <LordLimecat> :( it wont let me do that install
[09:17] <LordLimecat> everything conflicts :(
[09:17] <Minibnz> bobzero: i am not sure... i just use it for remote help... and so i dont have to move to the ubuntu box...
[09:17] <Gabz> nknwd: export display:0 should fix that i think
[09:17] <dougie> hmm now to find wifi radar on apt-get....how exactly do you search for packages on apt-get?
[09:17] <omeil>  sudo apt-get install beryl?
[09:17] <[vali] > you can delete it safely
[09:17] <BobZero> yes the source and the folders it created while tar
[09:17] <mneptok> tuxcrafter: /etc/network/interfaces should auto-populate at boot. *auto poulate*. you shouldn't have te edit anything.
[09:18] <omeil> Is this right ?  sudo apt-get install beryl?
[09:18] <BobZero> k
[09:18] <mneptok> omeil: don't
[09:18] <antihec_> mneptok: at boot? not at install? are you sure?
[09:18] <nknwd> Gabz how ?
[09:18] <LordLimecat> omeil: dont do it commandline
[09:18] <[vali] > mneptok: what populates it?
[09:18] <LordLimecat> use synaptic
[09:18] <tuxcrafter> mneptok: if i change something in that file it will stay changed after rebooting!
[09:18] <LordLimecat> and search for beryl
[09:18] <omeil> oh ok
[09:18] <LordLimecat> that way you get all the packages
[09:18] <omeil> thx
[09:18] <BobZero> ok theres a nother question now
[09:18] <mneptok> tuxcrafter: yup. but it's better to let the init scripts do the first edit.
[09:18] <Minibnz> dougie apt-get list |grep "seach field" change search filed for your string to search
[09:18] <LordLimecat> you want beryl, beryl-manager
[09:18] <BobZero> lamp is installed
[09:19] <BobZero> how i can configure the ftp
[09:19] <shatrat> if you have the beryl repo installed "sudo apt-get install beryl emerald-themes" will install all the packages.
[09:19] <Gabz> nknwd: in terminal try. export DISPLAY=:0.0 then run your app
[09:19] <tuxcrafter> mneptok: oke how do i say that eth1 is know the default adapter and eth0 is gone
[09:19] <omeil> i searched for beryl and found nothing
[09:19] <mneptok> tuxcrafter: how do you know eth0 is gone?
[09:19] <tuxcrafter> mneptok: i disabled it in the bios
[09:19] <nknwd> Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
[09:19] <nknwd> Xlib: No protocol specified
[09:20] <nknwd> Gabz nope :)
[09:20] <skoenman> could someone please msg me to help with a raid setup????
[09:20] <shatrat> omeil, make sure you've followed the how-to, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BerylOnEdgy,   "sudo apt-get install beryl emerald-themes"
[09:20] <mneptok> tuxcrafter: maybe the new card got assigned the eth0 name when the BIOS disabled the other?
[09:20] <tehchieftain> okay, its not just emerald that isnt loading
[09:20] <Gabz> nknwd:  error ?
[09:20] <tuxcrafter> mneptok: and the ifconfig tool will only connect the eth1 card
[09:20] <Rebecca> is it possible to restart my usb modules/system? even lsusb locks up
[09:20] <mneptok> tuxcrafter: this is why you let Linux populate this file, rather than guess. ;)
[09:20] <tehchieftain> also tried heliodor and it didnt load that either, still no borders.
[09:21] <tuxcrafter> mneptok: if i leave the interface card the way it was it still do not work
[09:21] <LordLimecat> tehchieftain
[09:21] <Minibnz> bobzero: i cant help with ftp i havent done this yet...CAN any one help bobzero with FTP
[09:21] <LordLimecat> how are you running beryl
[09:21] <tuxcrafter> so how to fix it
[09:21] <shatrat> tehchieftai1, are you using nvidia?
[09:21] <antihec_> BobZero: you want an ftp server? there are many. I like vsftpd. "apt-get install vsftpd" and read docs in /usr/share/doc/vsftpd
[09:21] <tehchieftai1> yes
[09:21] <nknwd> Gabz :
[09:21] <nknwd> Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
[09:21] <shatrat> tehchieftai1, have you run "sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals"?
[09:21] <mneptok> tuxcrafter: you can comment out eth0 if you want, and add the appropriate auto info to eth1's entry
[09:21] <tuxcrafter> mneptok: i did that but it does not work
[09:21] <bu2> how do you delete a directory using the command line?
[09:21] <skoenman> anybody???
[09:21] <nknwd> i've used kdesu -u user-X -c application and it works :)
[09:21] <shatrat> bu2, rm -r directory
[09:21] <mneptok> tuxcrafter: pastebin it
[09:21] <Minibnz> sudo rm ?
[09:22] <bu2> thanks
[09:22] <tehchieftai1> no
[09:22] <tehchieftai1> i dont think so
[09:22] <shatrat> tehchieftai1, you need alpha red green blue visuals to draw the beryl window trim, sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals
[09:22] <shatrat> tehchieftai1, then restart X
[09:22] <tehchieftai1> what do you mean by restarting x
[09:22] <tehchieftai1> im new...
[09:22] <shatrat> tehchieftai1, ctrl alt backspace
[09:22] <Gabz> nknwd: yeah i remeber this one i can't remeber the solution sorry it worked for me in debain but not ubuntu so i assume i changed a setting somwhere
[09:23] <mid_night> hi, can somebody help with my graphich card unichrome?
[09:23] <tehchieftai1> oh okay, i know that
[09:23] <tuxcrafter> mneptok: this is how it is now :http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9059/ and this is what is was: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9060/
[09:23] <tuxcrafter> mneptok: boot do not work
[09:23] <LordLimecat> shatrat, when i ctrlalt backspace, and login, the loading window does not appear and desktop never fully loads
[09:23] <mid_night> i have U 6.10, notebook fujitsu-siemens v2030
[09:23] <LordLimecat> any idea why that might occur
[09:23] <tehchieftain> okay time to try it out again
[09:23] <tuxcrafter> mneptok: i have to do sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart to get my netwerk up
[09:23] <mid_night> i installes driver https://help.ubuntu.com/community/openchrome
[09:24] <tehchieftain> still no borders
[09:24] <shatrat> LordLimecat, that happens sometimes when there is an app using X that doesnt die properly when you restart X, works when I do a full reboot
[09:24] <mid_night> and, now i have problem with console
[09:24] <LordLimecat> tehchieftain: how are you starting beryl
[09:24] <Minibnz> tuxcrafter: cant you do a ifconfig eth1 up | down?
[09:24] <mneptok> tuxcrafter: what kind of card is eth1?
[09:24] <tehchieftain> beryl-manager
[09:24] <LordLimecat> how did you install your drivers
[09:25] <tehchieftain> not sure, my brother did that for me
[09:25] <tuxcrafter> mneptok: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9061/
[09:25] <bu2> If I have a directory with stuff in it and I want to change the files name do I use the mv command? or will that overwrite the stuff in the directory?
[09:25] <James_Bowery> when i upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10 it rebooted to a page that had Ubuntu on it in a funky grey -- and froze there.  same thing happened when i burned a CD image to install it.  its a ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard with AMD64 4600+ (which has builtin nvidia).  worked fine on 6.06
[09:25] <LordLimecat> sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
[09:25] <LordLimecat> sudo gedit /ect/X11/xorg.conf
[09:25] <mid_night> i installed drivers form this solution https://help.ubuntu.com/community/openchrome
[09:25] <b0b> hey what is eryl and how do i get it i tried the apt-get install thing and it did not work
[09:25] <LordLimecat> run those
[09:25] <b0b> beryl
[09:25] <LordLimecat> and scroll down to the second last section of the xorg file
[09:26] <mid_night> now my console ctrl alt f1 is split in half :/

[09:26] <Minibnz> comp_: yes as long as you dont ask for permission :)
[09:26] <LordLimecat> xorg.conf is BLANK?
[09:26] <comp_> lol
[09:26] <shatrat> you shouldnt use sudo with graphical apps, it can hose lots of fun things.  gksudo gedit is safer
[09:26] <comp_> i was trying to change my cursors
[09:26] <tehchieftain> wait
[09:26] <tehchieftain> one sec
[09:26] <comp_> then everything disappeared

[09:47] <tarelerulz> I have tones of movies and songs
[09:48] <[vali] > tarelerulz: "remember the association"
[09:48] <LordLimecat> im gonna venture that if you cant, its because linux has no way of knowing what you think constitutes a file it should open
[09:48] <tehchieftain> lordlimecat, did me no good =(
[09:48] <[vali] > or something like that
[09:48] <LordLimecat> >_<

[09:48] <LordLimecat> my solution to a beryl problem i cant fix:"
[09:48] <con-man> after a week you should have VLC as the default for all
[09:48] <LordLimecat> DRIVER REINSTALL!
