[07:47] <nathanielneall> where can i get a bootable partitioner to partition my free space?
[07:48]  * delcoyote hi
[07:48] <bakarat> chubs: when i do -p <password> it asks me for a password then quits before i can type one in
[07:48] <chubs> nathanielneall, gparted
[07:48] <bakarat> chubs: if i just do -p (without <password>) it queries for a password, then i have to reenter it, then i just get a list of commands
[07:48] <chubs> bakarat, i've never used unrar, sorry
[07:48] <ryg9I> bakarat: without space
[07:48] <ryg9I> -p<pass>
[07:48] <nathanielneall> chubs, is that better than gnome partitionor?
[07:49] <bakarat> ryg9I: tried that as well, doesn't seem to work either
[07:49] <sako> anyone here savvy with brasero???
[07:49] <gaminggeek> hello, I'm having problems with the intel driver. Its crashing X
[07:49] <chubs> nathanielneall, afaik that is gnome partitioner
[07:50] <nathanielneall> chubs, so gparted is still better?
[07:50] <clarenc1> how to avoid the ubuntu 8.04 to lock the root account?
[07:50] <Flannel> clarenc1: Why do you want to avoid it?
[07:50] <chubs> nathanielneall, well it's a livecd. it's always worked perfectly for me

[07:51] <wang> as myself.. when I run as root its fine... the error starts with: perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
[07:51] <clarenc1> BTW, I find out the ubuntu system of the problem
[07:51] <wang> google isn't much help.. can anyone advise?
[07:52] <sako> can someone tell me why brasero is "overburning" and failing to burn mp3 files??
[07:52] <Flannel> clarenc1: You use sudo for that.
[07:52] <Nathan> well i downloaded songbird. its freakin awesome. i like this much better than amarok
[07:52] <clarenc1> how
[07:52] <tanath> for the past couple months i've found facebook is very slow in firefox. i just figured out that i can switch to a non-facebook tab to get it to load as normal, but shouldn't have to do this.
[07:52] <wang> anyone?
[07:52] <Flannel> clarenc1: alt-f2, then type gksu gedit /path/to/file and you'll open file

[07:53] <chubs> nathanielneall, the newest one
[07:53] <Flannel> clarenc1: What?
[07:53] <clarenc1> must close the gdm
[07:54] <chubs> make sure you're browsing the livecd
[07:54] <Flannel> clarenc1: If you want to use an editor in the terminal: sudo nano /path/to/file
[07:54] <nathanielneall> chubs, so a testing release, or stay stable?
[07:54] <clarenc1> what's nano
[07:54] <chubs> nathanielneall, .3.7-7

[07:56] <wang> eccentricity: http://paste.ubuntu.com/47977/ is the error I'm getting
[07:57] <eccentricity> but programs like pidgin and firefox seem to think I'm not connected
[07:57] <wang> it doesn't happen as root, only as myself.. and the formatting of the perldoc is screwed up when I try to read it
[07:57] <wang> http://paste.ubuntu.com/47978/ is an example of the weirdness with perldoc I see
[07:57] <gast> ficken?
[07:59] <wang> the weridness is that it works as root, but not as myself
[07:59] <ryg9I> wang: try to set LC_ALL .. export LC_ALL='en_US.UTF-8'
[07:59] <eccentricity> I connect with the following commands, sudo'd: dhclient -r eth1 & wpa_supplicant -w  -D wext -i eth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf & dhclient eth1
[08:00] <eccentricity> that connects me to my network,  but many programs say I'm offline
[08:00] <kevin__> what type of archive program works with gzip types?

[08:04] <Roy_M> Hi I am using ubuntu server and I am wondering if it is possible to enable certain kernel options post install. Or, am I going to have to reinstall my system?
[08:04] <Roy_M> I want to enable CONFIG_TCP_CONG_ADVANCED
[08:04] <eccentricity> Roy_AM: probably reinstall, but which?
[08:04] <chubs> Roy_M, you can pass options to your kernel in grub
[08:05] <nate__> another question. i got songbird, imported everything but its all screwed up (no artists, etc..) i have my original itunes folder with everything in order so is there a way i can import that whole folder so it doesnt get all messed up?
[08:05] <chubs> Roy_M, otherwise you can recompile your kernel if that's what you're asking
[08:05] <kevin__> okay for whatever reason, (and I think im not doing it right) but i have 2 .gzip files on my desktop..and im trying to extract with the command: gzip filename_location/filename -d
[08:06] <kevin__> where am i wrong?
[08:06] <Roy_M> chubs, hmm I might try recompiling my kernel if it is not too hard
[08:06] <nate__> i also have the .xml file if that helps
[08:06] <chubs> Roy_M, it's not too hard, just time consuming. I think there's an ubuntu guide
[08:07] <Roy_M> taking a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile thanks guys :)
[08:07] <eccentricity> I'm guessing nobody has any ideas?
[08:07] <chubs> Roy_M, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[08:07] <chubs> oh
[08:07] <chubs> you got it heh
[08:07] <Roy_M> haha thanks chubs
[08:09] <eccentricity> so does anybody know why, say, pidgin, would say its waiting for a network connection despite that I'm clearly connected?
[08:09] <eccentricity> it might be worth noting I'm connecting to a wireless network and don't use network-manager or anything like it

[08:28] <Jordan_U> Brainyiscool: Probably the "actual" sounds are not going through pulseaudio, try playing something in totem as it most likely will use pulse

[08:30] <chubs> but if you're really confused man screen
[08:30] <Brainyiscool> Jordan_U: You were right it's playing now
[08:30] <Jordan_U> Brainyiscool: It is a layer above the basic sound drivers that allows many extra features with audio, like sending audio from applications across the network and per-application volume control
[08:30] <Brainyiscool> However, how can i get all sounds to play?
[08:30] <Flannel> Kartagis: Are you sure its not already enabled?  Have you tried?
[08:31] <Jordan_U> Brainyiscool: You can get almost all applications to use pulseaudio with "asoundconf set-pulseaudio"

[08:34] <Jordan_U> Brainyiscool: I don't know if there is a logout sound by default. But yes, it should play from there, it's odd that it doesn't

[08:39] <ActionParsnip> Pirate_Hunter: i dont think mozilla has video decoders installed by default
[08:39] <logixoul> Pirate_Hunter: the default what? Firefox has no "embedded decoder"
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> Pirate_Hunter: you may have installed the mplayer plugin
[08:40] <danbh_intrepid> ActionParsnip: logixoul: I think he is talking about totem

[08:40] <Brainyiscool> it's too late to try working on this
[08:40] <ActionParsnip> Pirate_Hunter: and with regards to "better" and "best"...try both to see which you prefer...that one is the "best"
[08:40] <Pirate_Hunter> ActionParsnip, logixoul:  ok cause im installing mplayer and just saw it, i guess im confusing it for embedded java when streaming clips, no problem will install it and see if it is better when streaming
[08:41] <logixoul> more likely you're confusing it with flash video players like youtube
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> Pirate_Hunter: i like the mplayer one but i like mplayer in general over vlc so i use it
[08:42] <Pirate_Hunter> ActionParsnip: will try mplayer first than for a week or so than try vlc i doubt i can have both installed and choose which i want to choose
[08:42] <Pirate_Hunter> logixoul: yah you're right i was confusing myself, yah its flash not java :'(
[08:42] <ActionParsnip> youo can have both installed, just not the mozilla plugin for both
[08:43] <ghaleb>  hello, how can I print a list of directories and the size of each one ?
[08:43] <Pirate_Hunter> ActionParsnip: yah that is what i meant dang too early in the morning for me

[08:44] <binarymutant> does anyone know if the fibonacci patch for DWM works in the new 5.2 release?
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> binarymutant: whats dwm?
[08:44] <binarymutant> ActionParsnip: dynamic window manager
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> fibonacci sequences are cool
[08:45] <binarymutant> yeah it would be cool if I could get this patch to work :)
[08:49] <clarenc1> Where can buy the OS is Ubuntu by default of the computer?
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> binarymutant: id have a look at how to add extensions to it. ive never used it, looks ok
[08:49] <IndyGunFreak> clarenc1: dell is the only one i know of thats a major distributor... why cant you just try downloading and installing it?
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> clarenc1: what country?
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> clarenc1: dell do some but its quite hidden
[08:50] <clarenc1> U.S.A, Europe....
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> clarenc1: www.efficientpc.co.uk if you are uk based
[08:51] <clarenc1> in Taiwan, no computer is insatlled Ubuntu Linux
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> clarenc1: doubt it heavily
[08:52] <Kartagis> http://paste.ubuntu.com/47984/ <--- is this an informational thing or an error/warning?
[08:52] <IndyGunFreak> clarenc1: so why not download and install it yourself and dual boot your PC to try it?
[08:52] <prince_jammys> looks like a url
[08:52] <logixoul> ha ha
[08:53] <PLL02a>  can someone direct me to the correct channel for samba shares/ files shares between two ubuntu hardy systems
[08:53] <prince_jammys> Kartagis: looks like a shell script running with the -x (execution trace) option
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> PLL02a: you are here, ask away
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> !samba | PLL02a
[08:54] <prince_jammys> Kartagis: after every + it shows the command currently being run
[08:54] <clarenc1> IndyGunFreak, what meaning?
[08:54] <Kartagis> so it's not error huh?
[08:54] <IndyGunFreak> clarenc1: meaning, download Ubuntu, and install it on the PC you have now, or use the live CD, if you want to try Ubuntu, no real need to buy a new computer with it pre-installed.. unless you just want a new PC
[08:54] <prince_jammys> Kartagis: no
[08:55] <IndyGunFreak> !live | clarenc1
[08:55] <PLL02a> ok ive set one folder on each system as a shared folder. then ubuntu wanted to download samba and it installed. I rebooted my system (stupid huh) but i dont see the folders in the network
[08:55] <PLL02a> i did that on both systems.
[08:55] <Kartagis> thanks prince_jammys
[08:55] <clarenc1> I'm ShipIt the ubuntu CD, and got it today
[08:56] <ActionParsnip> PLL02a: did you share the folders?
[08:56] <clarenc1> get it
[08:56] <PLL02a> yes when i clicked the share button it installed samba. nothing else was asked so im not sure to be honest
[08:57] <clarenc1> How to install Office 2003 in Ubuntu 8.04?
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> PLL02a: you need to set allowed users and access rights
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> PLL02a: this isnt windows by the way. the only time you need to reboot is to use a different kernel
[08:57] <clarenc1> My school is teaching Office2003 of the Excel 2003, Word 2003,VB 2005

[09:00] <ActionParsnip> PLL02a: ar both systems in the same workgroup or domain?
[09:00] <Swilky> HI guys i have a DELL D610 laptop and i can not get the wireless working i have tryed all the ndiswrapper howtos with no luck can some one plz help
[09:00] <PLL02a> ahh yeah ive already been through that page
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> Swilky: run lspci, what wireless adapter does it have inside
[09:00] <Swilky> yes it is
[09:00] <Swilky> BCM4311
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> PLL02a: are both systems in the same workgroup?
[09:01] <newbb>  hi guys, my ubuntu doesn't automount my hdusb anymore (usually it pops it on the desktop)... i can't access to it, can someone help?
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> Swilky: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=277282
[09:01] <clarenc1> Before I 'm try to use VirtualBox, but it use My RAM so much, ubuntu applications were no responsing
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> !mount | newbb
[09:01] <PLL02a> hmmm i wouldnt know.. most likely not i guess
[09:02] <Swilky> fwcutter dosent work i have tried
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> PLL02a: id check a lot of your samba config dude
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> Swilky: then use ndiswrapper
[09:02] <newbb> ActionParsnip: i already manually mounted it, and i can do it again if i need it, but i want it to automount it and put the icon on the desktop as it used to... can u help?
[09:02] <Swilky> it detects the card and i can see the wireless networks but it will not connect
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> newbb: then you got me there, i dont use automount
[09:02] <Swilky> the ndiswrapper will not work after setting it up correctly
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> newbb: you could add it to fstab
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> Swilky: maybe you are doing it wrong as ndiswrapper is great for broadcom
[09:03] <newbb> but i dont understand why it was auto-doing it before and now without i modified anything it just doesn't do it any more...???
[09:03] <Swilky> ndiswraper -i path/to/inffile
[09:04] <Swilky> ndiswraper -m
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> Swilky: you need to cd to the inf file so the system will find the .sys file
[09:04] <Swilky> modprobe ndiswraper
[09:04] <Swilky> it findes the sys file
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> Swilky: you'll need sudo for that lot
[09:04] <Swilky> tryed
[09:04] <halycon> is anyone familiar with how to convert cursorxp themes to work as an X11 mouse theme?
[09:04] <Swilky> it made the config
[09:05] <brandonmpace> Swilky: does it show when you do ndiswrapper -l
[09:05] <Swilky> yes
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> Swilky: ok with sudo ndiswrapper -l does it say hardware present driver present?
[09:05] <Swilky> i have set the RadioStats to 1 in each .conf file in /etc/ndiswraper/bcmwl5/
[09:05] <Swilky> yes
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> Swilky: ok did you add ndiswrapper to /etc/modules?
[09:06] <Swilky> yes
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> !ndiswrapper | Swilky
[09:06] <Swilky> read and understood them
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> Swilky: ok so after you rebooted, and ran ifconfig did you see wifi0
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> or wlan0
[09:07] <Swilky> yep and there is nothing
[09:07] <brandonmpace> Swilky: what is the model of the card?
[09:07] <Swilky> sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[09:07] <Swilky> device can not be found
[09:08] <ActionParsnip> Swilky: just run ifconfig on its own, do you see any wireless devices
[09:08]  * ActionParsnip hates broadcom with a firey burning passion
[09:08] <PLL02a> why did they have to mess up hardy when it all worked in gutsy.. gah
[09:09] <Begin_Linux> Bom dia
[09:09] <Begin_Linux> Brasil?
[09:09] <ActionParsnip> !br | Begin_Linux
[09:09] <ActionParsnip> PLL02a: both are fine for me :D
[09:10] <PLL02a> im happy for you but that does not fix my problem by pointing that out
[09:10] <Swilky> not sure of the chip set but i downloaded the drive drom the dell website and its for my wireless card Broadcom bcmwl5
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> PLL02a: do it the simpler way, edit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[09:10] <PLL02a> i have that open now
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> PLL02a: undo the sharing you ave done with the gui, then edit the file
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> PLL02a: you'll need gksu gedit or sudo nano
[09:10] <debasys> i am on hardy 8.04 , many times pidgin takes around 280-300 MB of memory out of my total 512 MB RAM, so i have to close all applications and kill pidgin
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> and modify the shares there, so much easier
[09:11] <PLL02a> yeah i did that or it wont save
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> PLL02a: you need gksu or sudo as its not user editable
[09:11] <debasys> what that happens? Is my processor a celeron 1.7 GHz [lenovo laptop] the culprit
[09:11] <clarenc1> how to install the software download from internet?
[09:11] <brandonmpace> Swilky: so it´s not a bcm43xx
[09:12] <ActionParsnip> clarenc1: depends what it is
[09:12] <Circs> Is there a way to download the updates and burn them to cd to put on a computer that has no net access?
[09:12] <Swilky> BCM4311
[09:12] <clarenc1> ActionParsnip,is "mol(mac on linux"
[09:12] <ActionParsnip> !aptoncd | Circs
[09:13] <PLL02a> I use APTonCD but it needs tweaking
[09:13] <debasys> anyone noticed pidgin taking excess memory usage?
[09:13] <debasys> even way far than firefox
[09:14] <Circs> ActionParsnip: Ty, sorry for stupid question I guess I just didn't ask google the right way.
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> clarenc1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacOnLinuxHowto
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> Circs: no worries duder
[09:14] <Swilky> dose it matter if BCM43xx is black listed in the /etc/monprobe.d/blacklist file?
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> debasys: you got the latest pidgin?
[09:14] <debasys> ActionParsnip: yes my system is upto date
[09:15] <debasys> i update every week
[09:15] <dn4> ./xwax: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[09:15] <dn4> what is this file I need in my libraries?
[09:15] <debasys> ActionParsnip: that happens sometimes, but it is horrible, i have to force quite all other programs when this happens
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> debasys: try this
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> debasys: cd ~/; ls -a
[09:16] <nathanielneall> hello #ubuntu
[09:16] <carrera> Greetings!
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> debasys: close all pidgins, do you see a folder called .purple
[09:16] <nathanielneall> i am ashamed to say
[09:16] <nathanielneall> im going back to windows
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> dn4: you need to install the package that provodes that file
[09:16] <clarenc1>  ActionParsnip, it said cannot found the "mol"  package
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> clarenc1: do you have the repositories?
[09:16] <debasys> ActionParsnip: cd ~/; ls -a ?
[09:17] <brandonmpace> Swilky: the bcm43 driver is the linux driver
[09:17] <dn4> sudo apt-get install libsdl-ttf2.0-dev
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> debasys: in terminal, gui is to hard to walkthrough, and cli is faster
[09:17] <nathanielneall> but i need help for the changover
[09:17] <debasys> ActionParsnip: yes i see .purple
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> debasys: mv ./.purple ./.purple_old
[09:18] <carrera> my laptop and mobile phone see each other through Bluetooth, but transferring files fails. Can someone help please?
[09:18] <Swilky> brandonmpace : so use ndiswraper with bcm43?
[09:18] <clarenc1> ActionParsnip, yes I did
[09:18] <nathanielneall> is anyone willing to give me advice on backing up my data?
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> debasys: then launch pidgin
[09:18] <debasys> ActionParsnip: ok done, shows like the first time i launched it
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> debasys: that folder contains the config for your pidgin, add a few of your accounts to see if it bloats
[09:19] <debasys> ActionParsnip: i just have to re-add my accounts
[09:19] <danbh_intrepid> nathanielneall: whats the problem?  have you seen the factoid?
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> if it does we can rename back but we have your previos config backedup
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> debasys: as we did not rm, only mv to rename
[09:19] <brandonmpace> Swilky: I´m researching this right now. I´ve never had to deal with broadcom before so all I´ve ever had to do was plug in and get all the latest updates and then the wifi worked for me. I´m looking around
[09:19] <debasys> ActionParsnip: ah right, i have done this for Firefox profile in .mozilla few times, will check and revert back if i face same problem
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> Swilky: do you have full updates?
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> debasys: its the same with ALL apps
[09:20] <nathanielneall> danbh_intrepid, what is the factoid?
[09:20] <debasys> ActionParsnip: neat :)
[09:20] <danbh_intrepid> !backup > nathanielneall
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> debasys: indeed, its kinda like windows profiles but you gotta do the whole deal there
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> nathanielneall: you should have a backup system anyways
[09:21] <nathanielneall> what i want to know is will the data be readable if the file system on the drive that im backing up to is not ntfs
[09:22] <debasys> ActionParsnip: where does Windows stores its Software profiles btw?
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> you can get tools in windows to read ext3
[09:22] <carrera> I can't send files to my laptop with Bluetooth. Any ideas as to why?
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> debasys: documents and settings
[09:22] <debasys> ah
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> debasys: if you run %profile% it willappear
[09:22] <OICEMANO> \join ubuntu/de
[09:23] <robojiannis>  does anyone know which is the gnome-evolution support channel?
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> OICEMANO:  try /j #ubuntu-de
[09:23] <debasys> ActionParsnip: i guess the problem might be the some plugins i enabled in Pidgin, will run without any this time to see check
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> debasys: is it bloating?
[09:23] <debasys> ActionParsnip: no, not now
[09:23] <nathanielneall> i have a 500gig drive thats ntfs with files i need to keep, and an 80gig hard drive thats all linux stuff(i think the fs is ext) also with files i need to keep
[09:23] <Roy_M> Hi I am just looking at a ubuntu kernel config file. Does a "m" mean yes. It seems that this configuration file is full of variables with yes no answers but what does m mean
[09:24] <OICEMANO> thx i know the channel but with mz kezbord is anything wrong
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> m == module
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> OICEMANO: no worries, copy and paste :D
[09:24] <Timberwolf5578> Finally after distro hopping for 3 weeks, and trying 10 different distros, I have decided Mint is my favorite one.
[09:24] <Roy_M> Thanks ActionParsnip
[09:24] <danbh_intrepid> nathanielneall: just install windows, and get the ext2 driver
[09:24]  * O-MIRINDA bjim Esquilo sonhe com o tio em ....
[09:24] <jim_p> Timberwolf5578: what did you try?
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> nathanielneall: you can write to ntfs with ntfs-3g
[09:25] <nick[]> anyone using dirty dingo?
[09:25] <nathanielneall> danbh_intrepid, to install windows however i need to format one of the drives
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> nathanielneall: so you could wipe it, format ntfs then write to it then
[09:25] <clarenc1> but I find out that file have  autogen.sh
[09:25] <danbh_intrepid> nathanielneall: not true, just install to the 500g
[09:25] <nick[]> nathanielneall: on dirty dingo, it works OOTB
[09:26] <nathanielneall> the 500g is all one partition, its a stupid part of windows installation that it will ask you to format the partition youre installing windows on anyway, like a surgeon scrubbing up
[09:27] <danbh_intrepid> nathanielneall: at least, Ive installed windows without reformating.  See, linux has a whole directory structure where settings are placed.  Windows puts everything into the windows folder, so as long as you have no windows folder, you should be able to install
[09:27] <brandonmpace> Swilky: I think this is one way to get it working http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#firmwareinstallation
[09:27] <nick[]> that's out dated
[09:28] <Swilky> =\
[09:28] <nick[]> Swilky: just install dirty dingo
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> or just dont buy broadcom
[09:28] <nathanielneall> i have an old windows folder in the 500 that ive just bypassed since ive had linux (cant go back to that installation, its corrupted somehow i believe, wouldnt boot before
[09:28] <Swilky> the thing is i can get it finding networks
[09:28] <Swilky> but it just wont connect
[09:28] <nick[]> Swilky: did you upgrade yet?
[09:28] <Swilky> yes
[09:28] <nick[]> Swilky: what version?
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> Swilky: if its finding networks then its working
[09:29] <Swilky> it wont connect
[09:29] <nick[]> Swilky: upgrade to dirty dingo, there is a fix
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> Swilky: either get wifi-radar or manually edit /etc/network/interfaces
[09:29] <Swilky> i have dissabled security
[09:29] <Swilky> i have tryed both
[09:29] <nick[]> harddy herron
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> did you specify the ESSID in the interfaces file?
[09:30] <nick[]> whhhooooreeey hedgehog
[09:30] <Swilky> when i use fwcutter if i use ifconfig i get wlan0 AND wmaster0
[09:30] <Swilky> yes
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> Swilky: ignore wmaster0
[09:30] <Swilky> what is it?
[09:30] <nick[]> D I R T Y, DINGO
[09:31] <Swilky> nick can i apt ge it?
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> Swilky: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=697807
[09:32] <nathanielneall> danbh_intrepid, will it work if i just delete the old windows folder then? even if before when i formatted to ntfs i used quick format?
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> nathanielneall: you might not be able to in linux, i guess you could rename it if you wanted to keep it
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> nathanielneall: depends if you gots enough space
[09:34] <nathanielneall> ActionParsnip, i think i just want to move all my data to one HD so i can install windows on the free one, so i guess my question is which hard drive to move everything to
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> nathanielneall: your choice, think about how much space you need for the system OS
[09:37] <nathanielneall> ActionParsnip, well id like to put the OS on the 80 gig and primarily use the 500 for everything else execept a few other things
[09:37] <balrog> where do i go to view the source code for a particular project?  specifically, the workspace-switcher deskbar applet?
[09:38] <nathanielneall> ActionParsnip, i was also wondering which folders if not all from the current filesystem drive (containg bin, boot, home, media, etc.) needed to be kept to keep everything but linux
[09:38] <Minty95> anyone know where sounds are stord in Xchat ?
[09:39] <sh4lindev> hi, anyone here tried installing 8.04 on an Alix platform? (has AMD Geode processor (500MHz) and 256MB RAM). I've been trying for few days now, but all the installers fail to start (they freeze without any message after loading vmlinuz) ...
[09:39] <kieko> Minty95, undersound in prefeence/
[09:39] <Pirate_Hunter> i wish to make a quick proxy connection to youtube, which package would allow me to do this on the fly?
[09:39] <brandonmpace> sh4lindev: did you try the alternate install disc?
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> nathanielneall: you could parttion the 500 1 for OS and 1 for data then use a small partition for temp stuff and swap file to make your system faster
[09:40] <Minty95> kieko, looking thanks
[09:40] <Swilky> is TKIP or ASE (wpa2 personal) in knome?
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> !wpa | Swilky
[09:41] <sh4lindev> brandonmpace: yep, even the server version ... neither worked. But 7.10 works fine ...
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> sh4lindev: did you md5 check your image and burned disk?
[09:42] <brandonmpace> sh4lindev: well I would stick with 7.10 because on machines slower than 1.2Ghz it runs a lot faster. I mean a lot!
[09:42] <Pirate_Hunter> i wish to make a quick proxy connection to youtube, which package would allow me to do this on the fly?
[09:42] <Minty95> kieko, where is the pref folder found can you give me the path please
[09:43] <sh4lindev> md5 is ok
[09:43] <belleke> my nvidea 9600 gt grafical card can't be detected.....help pls...
[09:43] <nathanielneall> ActionParsnip, ok but right now that filesystem drive is all that takes up that 80 gig hard drive so i now know that most of that drive is to go to the 500 as data and im just gonna install the OS on the 80. what i ultimately want to know is which folders are important to save from the 80 and which i can just let go in the formatting of it
[09:43] <nathanielneall> ActionParsnip, does that make sense?
[09:43] <drumline_> So what should I do with my 1.0 Celeron box?  8.04 and upgrade to 8.10?   Is it going to be that bad?
[09:44] <drumline_> I run server on it BTW...
[09:44] <sh4lindev> well, 7.10 would be ok, but i'd like to try 8.04 preformance
[09:44] <Pirate_Hunter> seriously can someone help me run a proxy for youtube it is seriously getting annoying not being able to view music clips
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> !nvidia | belleke
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> nathanielneall: id just backup what you need and remove it all but if theres stuff you need, then harvest that too
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> Pirate_Hunter: no idea how, why do you want a proxy?
[09:45] <brandonmpace> sh4lindev: well I promise it´s nothing special on a slower machine, I have a 733Mhz and I actually switched back to 7.10 after about two weeks of 8.04
[09:46] <mohadib> any of you guys hot/warm plug sata/esata? got a script i wanted to share if so
[09:46] <nathanielneall> ActionParsnip, right i think im trying to shortcut the process of looking for what i need by asking what folders the OS files for ubuntu live in
[09:46] <Pirate_Hunter> ActionParsnip: need proxy for youtube, they've implemented country ban on music videos :/
[09:46] <sh4lindev> brandonmpace: what desktop manager do you use?
[09:46] <Pirate_Hunter> i wish to make a quick proxy connection to youtube, which package would allow me to do this on the fly?
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> nathanielneall: if you do you might miss something. I wouldnt scrimp in any way on a project like that
[09:46] <tyso1> anyone know about problems with synaptic packet manager?
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> Pirate_Hunter: try www.ninja-proxy.com
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> Pirate_Hunter: or www.hidemyass.com
[09:47] <brandonmpace> sh4lindev: I use gnome and xfce, depends on the machine
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> tyso1: millions, whats yours?
[09:47] <nathanielneall> ActionParsnip, my question is what is the linux equvilent of the WINDOWS folder i guess
[09:47] <tyso1> its saying an error occured action
[09:47] <Jordan_U> Pirate_Hunter: privoxy FF plugin
[09:48] <tyso1> its telling me to manually run something to solve problem
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> nathanielneall: /etc i guess but there are files all over the place, you should just copy your home folder and you should be fine
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> tyso1: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install
[09:48] <Pirate_Hunter> Jordan_U, ActionParsnip: will try
[09:48] <Daft_Punk> what is a good program to mount .iso files (gui based)
[09:48] <tyso1> ok cool thanks
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> tyso1: run what its saying in terminal
[09:49] <sh4lindev> brandonmpace: all right, guess i'll just stick with 7.10 as well :) have you experienced any dependecy problems in 7.10 so far? (i mean because of older kernel / older version of packages or so?)
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> tyso1: its telling you what to do
[09:49] <stefan__> hey , is there anybody knows something about to create you tv-card on ubuntu?
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> Daft_Punk: giso i believe
[09:49] <mohadib> Daft_Punk: why gui? its a very small command to run
[09:49] <atul> can we lock folders in ubuntu
[09:49] <tyso1> in the command line?
[09:49] <nathanielneall> ActionParsnip, like are the lib and usr folders just programs installed by synaptic and is home the rough equivalent to documents and settings?
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> tyso1: yes, run whatever it said in terminal
[09:49] <Daft_Punk> mohadib, because i said so
[09:49] <mohadib> ok :)
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> nathanielneall: yes
[09:49] <Daft_Punk> ActionParsnip, thank you
[09:49] <tyso1> thanks
[09:49] <ckyle> Where do I find the sha1sum or md5sum for the CD I'm downloading from ubuntu.com?
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> Daft_Punk: its a ludicrously simple mount command
[09:50] <Daft_Punk> ActionParsnip, i realize that... but that is not what i require
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> ckyle: its in the same place you got the iso
[09:50] <Pirate_Hunter> ActionParsnip: hidemyass.com did the trick :(
[09:50] <brandonmpace> sh4lindev: no I don´t recall any. the kernel used is not so old as to be terribly outdated lol. I don´t think it´s a dinosaur yet
[09:50] <mohadib> mount -o loop /data/foo.iso /mnt/iso
[09:50] <stefan__> hey , is there anybody knows something about to create you tv-card on ubuntu?
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> stefan__: define "create"
[09:51] <tyso1> action parsnip its telling me in order to run the command it requires super user privelages
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> tyso1: put sudo at the beginning of it
[09:52] <tyso1> ok
[09:52] <belleke> that was great help f**k you all
[09:53] <nathanielneall> ActionParsnip, thanks for all the help it seems to be working seamlessly. feel a bit like a Judas for going back to windows. but im not paying microsoft for it so thats something
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> nathanielneall: piracy sucks
[09:54] <reel_> hi, is there a library for reading cd-text from audio CDs ?
[09:54] <mohadib> so does price gouging
[09:54] <nathanielneall> ActionParsnip, it isnt piracy, my friend works for an ISP so hes giving me a copy of their coporate
[09:54] <sh4lindev> brandonmpace: all right :)
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> whatever, its your system
[09:55] <pythonic> hi.. is there a developers channel?
[09:56] <Junkee> i think maybe #ubuntu-dev
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> pythonic: /j #ubuntu-devel
[09:56] <pythonic> k, thanks :-)
[09:56] <nathanielneall> thats true. i find linux and all unix variations to be brilliant for developers, but as for the functionality as a personal computer, some companies just do a better job at owning the world and thus controlling program distribution
[09:57] <nathanielneall> but i dont think thats the intended topic of this channel
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> nathanielneall: it doesnt work for everybody, but if you wanna use an OS you must pay in some way
[09:57] <Timberwolf5578> What is the name of that game for Linux that everyone says is really good?  I think it's a turn-based strategy game.
[09:57] <tyso1> action parsnip i thank you for your patience sir and appreciate the advice it worked
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> Timberwolf5578: openciv :D
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> tyso1: np man
[09:59] <brandonmpace> Timberwolf5578: freeciv, wesnoth, there´s a few
[09:59] <Skizoid> :D
[09:59] <nathanielneall> agreed. it all went to shit when UI's got further along than DOS lol
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> Timberwolf5578: a great game is urban terror if you like fps
[10:00] <Vezir> wait what in hell? i was supposed to go to sleep, not bring irc up again
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> haha
[10:01] <nathanielneall> alright well its time for me to knock off. you all have a nice life
[10:01] <arooni> i'm getting:  Exclamation  (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)  ... even after disabling the restricted modules "nv nvidia_new" in /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules .... and even after swapping out everything into a new motherboard .... what to do now?
[10:01] <Timberwolf5578> battle for wesnoth
[10:01] <Timberwolf5578> that's the one
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> arooni: you tried envyng-gtk?
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> Timberwolf5578: also try frets on fire :D
[10:02] <nathanielneall> Timberwolf5578, if you like that you should try stratego: i think it can be run on wine
[10:02] <tyso1> hey parsnip you know ho to get limewire working once its been downloaded?
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> !limewire | tyso1
[10:03] <nathanielneall> its like chess meets CTF meets risk meets some other shit with bombs and secrets
[10:03] <sh4lindev> arooni: what's your graphics card and Ubuntu version?
[10:03] <nathanielneall> tyso1, never use limewire, never
[10:03] <arooni> sh4lindev, nvidia geforce 8600gts / ubuntu 8.04
[10:04] <tyso1> wha to use then nathaniel?
[10:04] <nathanielneall> ubuntu comes with an amazing torrent client, its called transmission, best i ever used
[10:04] <nathanielneall> better than utorrent
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> arooni: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[10:04] <brandonmpace> tyso1: instead of using limewire just go download frostwire        www.frostwire.com
[10:04] <nathanielneall> ActionParsnip, thats another thing
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> nathanielneall: i use ktorrent, its got a php web interface too
[10:04] <tyso1> they have easy to use interfaces?
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> nathanielneall: its only better to you, millions would disagree
[10:05] <nathanielneall> ActionParsnip, i have a ratio of 3.0 right now
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> nathanielneall: thats nothing to do with your client
[10:05] <nathanielneall> ActionParsnip, i find it great just cos its the fastest ive used thats what i base it on
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> nathanielneall: thats you seeding
[10:05] <brandonmpace> tyso1: I would recommend not using the limewire network anyways but you can also do torrents with frostwire
[10:05] <tyso1> nathaniel does transmission have a easy to use interface?
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> !torrent | tyso
[10:06] <brandonmpace> tyso1: and it´s open source, frostwire is
[10:06] <Phloam> Hey, I want to install ubuntu on my laptop. I think the system detects my temperatures wrong, as it shuts down with a warning about temperature when I try to install. The temperature is not that high... about 60c. I'm using the alternate disc.
[10:06] <nathanielneall> id say so. you double click the torrent and it downloads
[10:06] <blackkatt> any staff members around?
[10:06] <nathanielneall> then you open ur download folder and enjow
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> tyso1: just set .torrent files to open with the client and it'll be fine
[10:06] <sh4lindev> arooni: guess ActionParsnip is right :)
[10:07] <honkytonk> Weird remote terminal problem after changing my remote server from debian to ubuntu. When I open up a text file in an editor and scroll down the screen does not refresh its self. So I have to continuously press Ctrl-L to update the screen. Has anybody seen this before? I have no idea what's wrong.
[10:07] <tyso1> ok so then how do i get rid of limewire now that ive downloaded it?
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> Phloam: what laptop make and model?
[10:07] <Phloam> HP Tx2500
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> tyso1: is it installed?
[10:07] <tyso1> i think so?
[10:07] <nathanielneall> ActionParsnip, i know, but i want to keep a that ratio after i install window to so i get better DL's from my trackers
[10:07] <Phloam> ActionParsnip HP TX2500
[10:07] <arooni> ActionParsnip, same error as before
[10:07] <tyso1> i downloaded it then it said it was done
[10:07] <tyso1> i dont see it anywhere
[10:07] <blackkatt> JonathanD u there?
[10:07] <nathanielneall> ActionParsnip, ive heard something about using some sort of ratio list
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> Phloam: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=873188
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> blackkatt: dude, wassup?
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> tyso1: its possibly on your desktop, or in home
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> !cloak | blackkatt
[10:08] <nathanielneall> or when i get rid of linux will it all go back to zero like with leahman bros and AIG
[10:08] <Phloam> ActionParsnip, when I mark the acpi=off it gives me a "kernel panic not syncing" errror.
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> Phloam: did you md5 check the iso as well as the cd you burned?
[10:09] <Phloam> yea it's not a CD issue. Done both checks.
[10:09] <tyso1> cool its not there so im good. thanks again parsnip
[10:09] <blackkatt> ActionParsnip well hehe thats why i ask
[10:09] <Phloam> not memory either
[10:09] <blackkatt> for a staff =)
[10:10] <Phloam> ActionParsnip, I did both checks, and I checked the memory too.
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> Phloam: does the live cd run ok?
[10:11] <Phloam> ActionParsnip the live CD doesen't work either. Just shuts down same as alt, but without a warning.
[10:11] <Timberwolf5578> What is good to download with a new Mint installation?
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> Phloam: check your bios settings then dude
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> Timberwolf5578: depends what you wanna use your pc for
[10:12] <Phloam> ActionParsnip, what should I look for? I've not actually touched bios. it's a pretty new laptop...
[10:12] <Timberwolf5578> What is the default image viewer on mint?
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> Phloam: load failsafe settings and disable all unnecessary devices
[10:13] <Timberwolf5578> Does Mint come with a photo album program?
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> Timberwolf5578: does mint use gnome or kde?
[10:13] <Timberwolf5578> gnome
[10:13] <Phloam> ActionParsnip, ok thanks man.
[10:13] <jussi01> !mint | Timberwolf5578
[10:14] <theflyingfool> hey i have a stupid question no sound any idea where to look for a fix
[10:14] <carrera> I can't send files to my laptop with Bluetooth. Any ideas as to why?
[10:14] <Timberwolf5578> what is the best photo album program for gnome??
[10:15] <Joshooa> theflyingfool: I have a stupid answer, volume?
[10:15] <Willie813> hi all, i have a realtek wireless card rtl 8185, and it does not detect any wireless signal, anyone have a solution? Thanks
[10:15] <nathanielneall> ActionParsnip, is adun folder something i can do away with?
[10:15] <CostaRicanQuaker> has anyone tried minibuntu here?
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> Timberwolf5578: there is no "best" or thats all that Ubuntu would come with
[10:15] <zxxd>  anyone familiar with this error in domU Attempt to allocate order 5 skbuff. Increase MAX_SKBUFF_ORDER.
[10:16] <Timberwolf5578> ok, what a good one?
[10:16] <CostaRicanQuaker> i tried installing ubuntu on my GF's laptop and it wouldn't let me, i've been looking through small distros but most don't seem to be able to install debpackages on their own, right now i'm downloading xubuntu but i heard of minibuntu
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> Timberwolf5578: theres gwenview or eye of gnome
[10:16] <CostaRicanQuaker> i tried installing ubuntu on my GF's laptop and it wouldn't let me, i've been looking through small distros but most don't seem to be able to install debpackages on their own, right now i'm downloading xubuntu but i heard of minibuntu
[10:16] <Timberwolf5578> which is better?
[10:16] <CostaRicanQuaker> and i thought i'd come here and ask
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> Timberwolf5578: neither
[10:16] <CostaRicanQuaker> as it is an unofficial
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> Timberwolf5578: try them to see which you prefer
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: did you md5 check the image you downloaded as well as the disk
[10:17] <Joshooa> CostaRicanQuaker: Do you mean the 10MB one?
[10:18] <nathanielneall> ActionParsnip, is it safe to get rid of the adun folder in <username> in home?
[10:18] <CostaRicanQuaker> yes, they were the original ubuntu hardy cd's from canonical
[10:18] <CostaRicanQuaker> got them from shipit
[10:18] <amenado> CostaRicanQuaker-> have you been nice to your GF so she would let you ?
[10:18] <CostaRicanQuaker> tried both the ubuntu and the kubuntu version
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> Timberwolf5578: http://en.linuxreviews.org/Image-viewers
[10:18] <Joshooa> CostaRicanQuaker: I am actually just about to try to install that to my sister in laws laptop.
[10:18] <CostaRicanQuaker> amenado: yes i have and yes she will
[10:18] <CostaRicanQuaker> minibuntu?
[10:19] <Joshooa> CostaRicanQuaker: yes
[10:19] <CostaRicanQuaker> well my problem is, a) it's an unofficial release so i don't know if i should trust it
[10:19] <CostaRicanQuaker> b) it apparently doens't have a GUI
[10:19] <Joshooa> CostaRicanQuaker: But I th ink it'll pretty much be command line only, will that be enough?
[10:19] <Joshooa> CostaRicanQuaker: Yeah
[10:19] <CostaRicanQuaker> and i don't know how to install it from command line
[10:19] <CostaRicanQuaker> i mean will sudo aptitude install work on any shell?
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: should do as long as you have valid repos
[10:20] <Joshooa> CostaRicanQuaker: Well, simply because I don't think it'll have the featurs you want, you shouldn't install it anyway. I am either doing that or building my own Linux from scratch, so, i have different reasons.
[10:20] <CostaRicanQuaker> right now i'm downloading a gutsy version of xubuntu, but i'm not sure if i should do that
[10:20] <tyso1> hey actionparsnip i just downloaded frostwire but i cant seem to be able to get it to run. or install. im such a noob
[10:21] <kosnick> i want to insall darkice through synaptic but when i do it installs it without lame support. I read in some darkice site that all i need to do is include --with-lame-prefix=/usr/local/lib . Is there any way to add this option to synaptic?
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> tyso1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWirhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[10:21] <CostaRicanQuaker> ActionParsnip: if i start installing this miniubuntu and have the computer plugged to a cable modem
[10:21] <CostaRicanQuaker> i willbe bale to sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop right?
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: as long as the modem works
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: if you connect to it with ethernet it should be ok
[10:22] <CostaRicanQuaker> https://answers.launchpad.net/minibuntu/+faq/35
[10:22] <Timberwolf5578> What is eye of gnome called in the repos?
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> eog
[10:22] <CostaRicanQuaker> ActionParsnip, can you hceck that link and tell me what it means...
[10:23] <amenado> CostaRicanQuaker-> what happened to the regular ubuntu liveCD ?
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[10:23] <Timberwolf5578> apparently eye of gnome is already installed, how to I run the program??
[10:23] <CostaRicanQuaker> it wouldn't install
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: the top section tells all
[10:23] <angie> hallo guys...whatz up...!!!
[10:23] <amenado> CostaRicanQuaker-> does it even run on liveCD mode?
[10:24] <CostaRicanQuaker> ActionParsnip, huh? frostwire?
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> sorry, wrong target
[10:24] <zr0gee> Hi everyone. I was wondering if there exists a list of popular chipsets and their compatibility with Ubuntu. I'm asking, since I'm in the business of upgrading my motherboard, and I want to make sure I will still be able to run Ubuntu :)
[10:24] <CostaRicanQuaker> amenado, it wouldn't install
[10:24] <angie> anyway...anyone from indonesiaa???
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: it basically means "if it breaks, you get both halves"
[10:25] <CostaRicanQuaker> it ran a couple times really really slow from the kubuntu canonical cd
[10:25] <amenado> CostaRicanQuaker-> does it even run on liveCD mode? not install but just run from the cdrom
[10:25] <arunvkumar> how can i list the wifi network in terminal?
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> arunvkumar: sudo iwlist
[10:25] <CostaRicanQuaker> it ran really slow from the cd rom amenado, but the screen was smaller like it was smaller than the screen
[10:25] <arunvkumar> k
[10:25] <arunvkumar> k
[10:25] <CostaRicanQuaker> and then it would get stuck when i'd try to install from the livecd
[10:26] <angie> hu...this room so boring...
[10:26] <amenado> CostaRicanQuaker-> it should be much slower in livecd than if installed ..
[10:26] <mtcage> its a support channel, not an entertainment channel angie...
[10:26] <CostaRicanQuaker> well it just got stuck
[10:26] <amenado> CostaRicanQuaker-> then try the alternate cd
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> !ot | angie
[10:27] <angie> oiya???
[10:27] <zr0gee> (I tried searching the forums for a post about this chipset, but nothing came up)
[10:27] <Timberwolf5578> Why do Linux Distros not like 4 primary partitions?
[10:27] <angie> well ithink im not in the right room...
[10:27] <CostaRicanQuaker> amenado, right now i'm downloading the alternate cd for xubuntu gutsy, thinking it might be lighter and easier to run and perhaps a smaller kernel than the current hardy version
[10:27] <amenado> Timberwolf5578-> bios limits you to about two primary
[10:28] <amenado> CostaRicanQuaker-> you currently have what os on it?
[10:28] <CostaRicanQuaker> windows xp
[10:28] <CostaRicanQuaker> on her laptop
[10:28] <angie> what r u guys talk abiut it...???
[10:28] <Timberwolf5578> One primary partition for my WinXP and 3 logical for the Linux distro works great.  But 3 primary for Linux causes problems sometimes.
[10:28] <CostaRicanQuaker> she has xp which i installed after not being able to install kubuntu hardy
[10:28] <angie> oohh...god...help me...
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> angie: wassup?
[10:29] <amenado> Timberwolf5578-> bios limits you to about two primaries..
[10:29] <angie> yeah great...actionparnship...
[10:29] <__machine> i have about 25 machines on a LAN and something is sucking up way too much bandwidth... how can i listen in to all network traffic and see who is using how much?
[10:29] <angie> great in this room...huh...
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> angie: you can use tab to autocomplete
[10:29] <[[thufir]]> is there some way to manually "update all" from the command line?
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> angie: its a support room, not idle chatter about randomstuff
[10:30] <talntid> __machine, you could use etherape, kindof...
[10:30] <FalsePositive> What do you mean "update all?
[10:30] <__machine> how does etherape work?
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> [[thufir]]: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:30] <FalsePositive> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[10:30] <talntid> __machine, google.
[10:30] <[[thufir]]> ActionParsnip: thanks
[10:30] <dassouki> does anyone know of a free or OS collaboration website ? or application i can put on my host ?
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> dassouki: how do you mean?
[10:31] <CW> dassouki: Bitweaver
[10:31] <Timberwolf5578> This is a tip for everyone.  If you already have Windows installed and want a dual boot system, use LOGICAL partitions for Linux, NOT primary partitions.
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> dassouki: OS Collaboration?
[10:31] <CostaRicanQuaker> ActionParsnip, is it better to download an old version of xubuntu or should i download hardy¿? hers is an old toshiba sat laptop with about 248 mb ram
[10:31] <amenado> __machine-> how did you determine its taking up so much bandwidth?
[10:31] <angie> oooo...thats why this room so boring...anyway i cant stay here to long...it make me crazy...
[10:31] <CostaRicanQuaker> amenado
[10:31] <dassouki> ActionParsnip: free or open source
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: id get hardy
[10:31] <dassouki> CW: thanks :D
[10:31] <FalsePositive> You don't want to throw dist-upgrade in there unless you actually want to upgrade version numbers.
[10:31] <__machine> amenado: our ISP told us we've used 90% of our monthly quota in 4 days...
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> dassouki: all distros of linux and bsd are collaborations of OSS
[10:31] <CostaRicanQuaker> ActionParsnip, any chance that though ubuntu and kubuntu wouldn't install xubuntu might'
[10:31] <mtcage> Timberwolf5578 and why is that?
[10:31] <CostaRicanQuaker> ¿?*
[10:32] <[[thufir]]> ActionParsnip:  I still have lotsa old software, nothing really happened -- but it did report success.
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: you can sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[10:32] <Timberwolf5578> Because Linux distros DO NOT like to be on primary partitions on a dual boot (Win & Linux) system.
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> [[thufir]]: are youo on hardy heron?
[10:32] <dassouki> ActionParsnip: :@ i'm looking for a tool similar to basecamp or a collaboration for applications that ican put on my linux server !! jeebuz
[10:32] <amenado> __machine-> do you have any tools to be able to dispute this claim? ie do you have like a firewall that have counters that can show your usage? its bit counter?
[10:32] <mtcage> I've had no problems as yet
[10:33] <CostaRicanQuaker> ActionParsnip, i mean, my girlfriends computer is an old laptop that wouldn't let me install ubuntu or kubuntu, is there a chance that if i download the iso for xubuntu i will be able to install it?
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: you could install fluxbuntu
[10:33] <[[thufir]]> ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 8.04.1 \n \l
[10:33] <SorcererX> anyone available to help me configure xchat a little bit please?  i would like to change the way it looks if at all possible
[10:33] <__machine> nope... am getting them to "investigate" but they claim their tools are almost certainly accurate... in all probability it's more likely someone or something at our end is actually using too much bandwidth... i just need to track down where/what it is...
[10:34] <CostaRicanQuaker> ActionParsnip, i have heard of it but apparently it's not the same as ubuntu or kubuntu or xubuntu in that you can't run the same apps and share repos and all
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: it runs great
[10:34] <speedhunt3r> hi how do i convert a .ogg video to .mpeg? can ffmpeg do that? if so..what's the command?
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> speedhunt3r: ogg to what?
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> sorry
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> brainspazz
[10:35] <speedhunt3r> ActionParsnip, either .avi or .mpeg
[10:35] <CW> __machine: Have had the same issue in corporate network, had to install IPCOP with Advanced Proxy. Stopped it quickly, but never found what it was.
[10:35] <CostaRicanQuaker> ActionParsnip, but will i be able to download packages from kde, xfce and gnome on it and have those DE's as login options? if install fluxbuntu?
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> speedhunt3r: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=644120
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: absolutely
[10:36] <amenado> __machine-> if you had a T-1 to your ISP, the t-1 modem (dsu) has historical bit counter
[10:36] <__machine> i just have an adsl connection
[10:37] <CostaRicanQuaker> ActionParsnip, without having to install them on a different partition, that is to say, will i be able to just log on to the terminal on fluxbuntu and type sudo apt-get xubunt-desktop and it will install and then i can log out and login on xfce?
[10:37] <amenado> !who | __machine
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: yeah, just logoff and change session type
[10:37] <Timberwolf5578> Mint is so good, it's just ridiculous.
[10:37] <__machine> amenado: sorry, will do
[10:38] <amenado> __machine you adsl also have some bit counters...look into them
[10:38] <amenado> adsl modem*
[10:39] <FalsePositive> Timberwolf5578: That's the power of the open source model.  Rather than competing interests, everyone builds on each other's success.  Ubuntu built on Debian's success, and Debian is free to re-incorporate those innovations.  Mint built on Ubuntu's success, and Ubuntu can re-incorporate those innovations.
[10:39] <[[thufir]]> ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 8.04.1, and nothing really updates.  I think I turned off apt-cache, perhaps.
[10:39] <FalsePositive> If they want, or not.
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> [[thufir]]: try it, yuo can always re-enable
[10:39] <FalsePositive> Just as other browsers can build on Firefox, or Google Chrome, or trade, or whatever.  That's the power of the open source model.
[10:39] <CostaRicanQuaker> ActionParsnip, has this always been true of fluxbuntu? are you sure? i went ot the fluxbuntu channel months ago and they told me that it was separate from ubuntu, that i'd have to make a partition and install ubuntu on a different partition as it's a whole different distro
[10:40] <__machine> amenado: if i were to simply setup firewall access rules inbound and outbound... what rules would be appropriate to allow general / legit access?
[10:40] <CostaRicanQuaker> ActionParsnip, if what you're saying is true i can just sudo aptitude install fluxbuntu-desktop no?
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: you can install kubuntu then install fluxbox ontop of it
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: sudo apt-get install fluxbox
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: then logout and change session type to fluxbox
[10:41] <speedhunt3r> how to force a .deb to install on ur machine? dpkg --force package.deb ?
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: id download and install Ubuntu then go from there
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> speedhunt3r: sudo dpkg -i ./debfile.deb
[10:41] <amenado> __machine-> for one, did you do a traffic analysis before you ordered your bandwitdh from your ISP? things like how many erlangs..
[10:41] <FalsePositive> fluxbox != fluxbuntu
[10:41] <[[thufir]]> ActionParsnip: pardon, try what?  I tried those commands you gave.  they ran, but nothing updated.
[10:41] <CostaRicanQuaker> ActionParsnip, but my point is: her laptop won't let me install kubuntu/ubuntu hence i'm asking for something lighter you suggested fluxbuntu, what i'm asking is wether i can install fluxbuntu and then XFCE on top of it
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> [[thufir]]: then you are ok
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: damnsmalllinux or puppy linux
[10:42] <FalsePositive> If the fluxbuntu people are telling you something different, go with that they say. They control their "revision" of Ubuntu.
[10:42] <CostaRicanQuaker> no,i want it to be a *buntu...so i'm thinking of installing xubuntu
[10:42] <CostaRicanQuaker> and then getting the gnome and kde packages
[10:42] <__machine> amenado: we have been using a fairly consistent amount of bandwidth for 1-2 years and now we have almost exceeded that monthly limit in 4 days... we're only a small company with no dedicated network admin and few process such as traffic analysis :)
[10:42] <FalsePositive> So install it.
[10:43] <amenado> CostaRicanQuaker-> ok, start with damn small linux ..and then use debootstrap to install ubuntu flavor
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: you could always get the alternative cd and build up the distro from there
[10:43] <platyhelminthh> Hi, how can I make a program launch at start ?
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: you can enable apt-get in puppy linux too
[10:43] <FalsePositive> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[10:43] <kosnick> is there any way in synaptic to install some app with specific options . I want to install darkice with this option --with-lame-prefix=/usr/lib/
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> !startup | platyhelminthh
[10:44] <FalsePositive> I've tried it.  It's nice.  but I like Gnome.
[10:44] <kosnick> is there any way in synaptic to install some app with specific options . I want to install darkice with this option --with-lame-prefix=/usr/lib/
[10:44] <CostaRicanQuaker> ActionParsnip, amenado, but i want to install a completely ubuntu based system that will run on low specs and willopen and compile debpackages on its own
[10:44] <amenado> __machine-> have you looked at the adsl bit counters yet see how they have been behaving lately?
[10:45] <FalsePositive> kosnick: sudo apt-get install darkice --with-lame-prefix=/usr/lib/
[10:45] <danish> ActionParsnip:  i install application map frm sybaptic pakage manager now where i found this applaication to run
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: then xubuntu is ideal
[10:45] <[[thufir]]> but I have tomcat 5.5 and not 6.0.   how do I update tomcat pls?
[10:45] <CostaRicanQuaker> i already downloaded puppylinux just in case and i tried the livecd on my computer andit wouldn't load xorg, so i'm not sure it will work on my GFs laptop
[10:45] <FalsePositive> kosnick: Does that work?
[10:45] <CostaRicanQuaker> ActionParsnip, xubuntu hardy alternate cd?
[10:45] <amenado> CostaRicanQuaker-> do you want to get started?  debootstrap install the most basic portion of ubuntu,
[10:45] <danish> ActionParsnip:  i install application map frm sybaptic pakage manager now where i found this applaication to run
[10:45] <kosnick> FalsePositive : let me try
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> danish: run it from cli or check in your menus
[10:46] <zr0gee> Anyone here with any experience of running Ubuntu on an nvidia 790i chipset ?
[10:46] <__machine> amenado: trying to find info on adsl bit counters didn't produce my help... lots of links to bittorrent and other stuff... my adsl modem is in bridge mode connected to a switch/router which does nat and which is connected to a bigger switch... im thinking it may be hard to gain access to the modem to check bit counters
[10:46] <kosnick> FalsePositive : unfortunately not
[10:47] <amenado> __machine-> try to look into that switch/router for historical data, it may shed some light
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> zr0gee: all i can find is people slating them man
[10:48] <FalsePositive> kosnick: Looks like a flag you would add at compile time.
[10:48] <FalsePositive> kosnick:  You might want to compile the source code with that flag.
[10:48] <zr0gee> ActionParsnip: hehe, ok - thx anyway
[10:49] <kosnick> FalsePositive: i already tried this but i am not that good , something is not working as it should
[10:49] <__machine> amenado: i checked the traffic on each port of the switch but it did not help much because it includes LAN traffic, and there are many many gb traffic copies across the file server each day from most machines...
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> zr0gee: give it a go man
[10:49] <CostaRicanQuaker> amenado, in the instance that the alternate xubuntu hardy cd i'm downloading doesn't work, you tellme i should try to install damn small linux and then debootstrap to install ubuntu? is there a link you cna show me onhow to do that
[10:50] <zr0gee> ActionParsnip: Yeah, I will. Might be an idea to write something up @ the forums, after I get my hands dirty :P
[10:50] <amenado> CostaRicanQuaker-> i dont have an immediate access to a link, but you can google for debootstrap+ubuntu install
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> zr0gee: hands dirty is fun
[10:51] <CostaRicanQuaker> amenado: do you think xubuntu alternate install might work?
[10:51] <[[thufir]]> is tomcat 6 available?
[10:51] <amenado> __machine-> perhaps filter it for the outgoing traffic towards the ISP and not all the traffic in you local subnet
[10:51] <[[thufir]]> http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/1583/
[10:51] <zr0gee> ActionParsnip: i agree :)
[10:51] <FalsePositive> kosnick: yes, according to this web page: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-216790.html
[10:51] <amenado> CostaRicanQuaker-> i will give it a try, and good luck to you my friend
[10:51] <FalsePositive> That is a flag for compiling.
[10:52] <danish_> sir plz tell me wat is cli
[10:52] <danish_> where i found this
[10:53] <danish_> ActionParsnip:
[10:53] <amenado> command line interface
[10:53] <danish_> then wat i do
[10:53] <amenado> meaning its your terminal
[10:53] <danish_> in this
[10:53] <kosnick> FalsePositive : yes i know it is a flag for compiling.
[10:53] <danish_> yes
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> !cli | danish_
[10:55] <danish_> ok i opened this cli now wat i do
[10:55] <arooni> can i buy a pre built system that comes with ubuntu?
[10:55] <arooni> can i buy a pre built system that comes with ubuntu? (dual mon)
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> danish_: type the name of the program you installed
[10:56] <amenado> ask hp or dell?
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> arooni: dell do it
[10:56] <danish_> ok i opened this cli now wat i do ActionParsnip
[10:56] <FalsePositive> kosnick: Where's the source?

[10:57] <danish_> ok i opened this cli now wat i do ActionParsnip
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> danish_; type thename of the program you installed and hit enter
[10:57] <amenado> danish-> first thing you should do is open the web browser, point to google and look for linux beginners tutorial
[10:57] <danish_> oks
[10:57] <Dyllan> Hi guys, does this channel support the Alternate (LTSP) aspect of ubuntu as well or is there another channel i can be redirected to? - thanks.
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> danish_: i literally copied and pasted what I said, why did you only do it on the second go?
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> Dyllan: yeah
[10:58] <danish_> sir i found this one
[10:58] <CostaRicanQuaker> ActionParsnip, have you ever installed ubuntu from another system with debootstrap?
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> danish_: then run it
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: never, i always do a clean install of kubuntu then sling either fluxbox or compiz on it depending on if Im drunk or not
[10:59] <FalsePositive> Well, when I tried to ./configure darkice, I got some errors about not having the lame library.  Do you have that?
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> FalsePositive: maybe sudo apt-get install liblame
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> FalsePositive: check in synaptic for lame to see what comes up
[11:00] <kosnick> FalsePositive : well i had those errors too - then i installed some libraries . The libraries you need to be ok with these errors are the lib***-dev ones
[11:01] <kosnick> where *** comes lame or alsa or ogg vorbis
[11:01] <FalsePositive> It's sudo apt-get install lame
[11:01] <Dyllan> Super. I have a couple questions regarding the Ubuntu LTSP project. I currently have 4 linux servers which my staff connect to via the XDMCP protocol which is built into their thin client, i use both IGEL & WYSE technology. What i am trying to establish is if it is better to use LTSP which my thin clients will boot via PXE or continue to use XDMCP, what are my advantages/disadvantages?
[11:01] <kosnick> if you need exactly the libraries tell me to check on them
[11:01] <FalsePositive> configure: error: neither lame, Ogg Vorbis, faac nor twolame configured
[11:02] <iGoogle> newb compile media software is hard
[11:02] <kosnick> FalsePositive : you need for each one the proper library
[11:02] <kosnick> for the lame it is the liblame-dev
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> iGoogle: if you have the deps its easy
[11:02] <iGoogle> a lot of lib* you need
[11:03] <FalsePositive> ok, so I isntalled liblame-dev and ran ./configure --with-lame-prefix=/usr/lib/ and it worked.  at least no errors.
[11:03] <amenado> Dyllan-> i dont think many of us is familiar with IGEL & WYSE technology..so we can not compare
[11:03] <FalsePositive> now I'm MAKEing
[11:03] <kosnick> FalseP. : what about make install
[11:03] <kosnick> ?
[11:04] <kosnick> ok
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> FalsePositive: you'll need sudo for make install
[11:05] <FalsePositive> I did.
[11:05] <FalsePositive> Where the binary?
[11:06] <kosnick> i never used sudo , i just did use it so i have to check on it
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> FalsePositive: it'll be in /usr/bin so you can just type its name (tab complete if you want)
[11:07] <dr_willis> Normally one dose 'sudo make isntall' unless you set up ./configure to isntall to  the users home directory
[11:07] <rubystallion> To compile alsa I need to execute ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel. How can I do that with module-assistant?
[11:07] <abhijeet> Hey guys, I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop. After I restarted i'm getting a hardware driver notification. It says that I need to install it If I want to use 3D applications and stuff.
[11:07] <abhijeet> But when I try to install it say error
[11:07] <Dyllan> amenado: forget the tech, just think of it as a thin client, i mean LTSP all it provides as far as  ican see is a thin client to receive the desktop image from the server, which xdmcp does the same. If LTSP provided desktop management tools that would allow me to lockdown the desktop and make changes across the board that will affect all users in the same group it would be worthwhile, sort of like the kiosk tool provided by KDE.
[11:07] <Joshooa> Hey, I have Microsoft Windows XP installed on a 40GB, which is my primary drive, and Ubuntu on a 200GB plugged in as my secondary drive, only because I needed to install  ubuntu in order to save files, what's the easiest way to switch them and remove XP, so my 200 GB is my main drive and just boots into ubuntu and I can format my 40GB for something besides windows
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> abhijeet: what graphics card do you have?
[11:07] <abhijeet> nVidia
[11:08] <abhijeet> exatly what I don't know
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> !nvidia | abhijeet
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> !envyng-gtk | abhijeet
[11:08] <Dyllan> amenado: All im really trying to do is create a locked down desktop for my staff to use, but i want to be able to maintain it easily.
[11:08] <dr_willis> Joshooa,  set the bios to boot the other hd is one easy way.
[11:08] <abhijeet> ok I'll try that
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> !envyng | abhijeet
[11:08] <dr_willis> Joshooa,  you may need to install grub to the 2nd hd however.
[11:09] <kosnick> FalsePositive : how can i uninstall this now that i have MAKEd it?
[11:09] <Joshooa> dr_willis: That's what I think too. Mainly, I just want to format my 40GB, but it'll erase the MBR and grub and stuff, so when I reboot, what'll happen?
[11:10] <Joshooa> I can wait til 8.10 to move the hard drives around and just format everything then
[11:10] <dr_willis> Joshooa,  formating it willnot erase the mbr.
[11:10] <abhijeet>  !envyng-gtk....is that a terminal command line
[11:10] <iGoogle> koshari: make uninstall
[11:10] <koshari> ?
[11:10] <dr_willis> Joshooa,  in fact. you coud proberly boot now, and tell it to install grub to both hd's so it wont matter what one you booted from - you would get the same menu.
[11:11] <dr_willis> abhijeet,  its a bot command tio make the bot print out a URL/info line - like it just did
[11:11] <Joshooa> dr_willis: So, even though my comp looks at the 40GB for grub which tells it to boot Ubuntu on my 200GB, which I'm running now, if I use gparted to format the 40GB and partition it up and stuff, when I reboot everything will still be ok?
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> abhijeet: its a gui app to install ati and nvidia drivers, you need gksu to run it as it needs root privs
[11:11] <iGoogle> you want uninstall soft that you make install before? kosnick
[11:11] <dr_willis> Joshooa,  should be. I do that kind of stuff all the time.
[11:11] <Joshooa> dr_willis: Well i want it to be just Ubuntu on there, no more windows XP, I am dual booting and want just linux left
[11:11] <arooni> does dell pre built ubuntu boxes do a good job?
[11:12] <dr_willis> Joshooa,  if all else fails - you install grub to  the ubuntu hd. and tell the system to boot it instead.
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> abhijeet: the only downside is that you must switch to vesa driver if you upgrade kernel so yu can rerun envyng-gtk again
[11:12] <amenado> Dyllan-> I dont seem to see that much difference between the two, as you control the server downloads (desktop settings) to the client
[11:12] <tyso1> hey action parsnip i downloaded frostwire and opened it with gdebi package installer and it says its installed but i dont see an icon or anything about it anywhere any suggestions?
[11:12] <dr_willis> arooni ive heard mixed reviews. You gotta watch what you buy. they may have better deals on identical hardware only with 'windows'
[11:12] <Joshooa> dr_willis: Yea, I'm trying to get a free partition to start doing a Linux From Scratch, should be fun
[11:12] <craxie> arooni from what I hear they are pretty good but......
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> tyso1: if it runs then you can just add it to your menus
[11:13] <craxie> oh dr_willis has already said I felt the hardware isn't the best
[11:13] <dr_willis> Joshooa,  tried it.. couldent figure out why bother. :) you could  install it inside a virtualbox session/virtual machine. Mos tof the install is 'read/cut/paste/wait' repeate
[11:13] <arooni> dr_willis, but do they support it
[11:13] <tyso1> how do i run it?
[11:13] <arooni> dr_willis, and setup dual monitor and stuff
[11:13] <craxie> You get better deals on Windows machines
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> tyso1: type frost and press tab in terminal
[11:13] <arooni> thats craapppy
[11:13] <tyso1> k
[11:13] <dr_willis> arooni im not sure what they actually do by 'supporting'   I can setup dual monitor on mynvidia systems in about  3 min. or less.. :)
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> !dualhead | arooni
[11:13] <arooni> dr_willis, ive been trying for 4 days
[11:14] <arooni> dr_willis, i cant get ubuntu to recognize the damn nvidia drivers and i'm sick of building my own pc
[11:14] <craxie> It makes no sense really MS must be subsidising them or something
[11:14] <koshari> craxie i think you get the best deal when you roll your own
[11:14] <Joshooa> dr_willis: Well I want to be able to really understand how linux works so I can make it and then once I get my OS going, port it over to a low end laptop, and try to make a minimal OS that can use a lot of it's system resources for games
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> koshari: amenn brother
[11:14] <dr_willis> arooni  Depends a lot on the exact video card. I had to use the envyng stuff the other day on one machine. the video card was too new for the ncvidia drivers in the repos.
[11:14] <Joshooa> dr_willis: And I don't like having such a bloated system with all this stuff on it I don't use
[11:14] <arooni> dr_willis, i seriousliy have tried 6 grahpics cards and 2 mobos
[11:15] <dr_willis> arooni then i ran the nvidia-xconfig, and nvidia-settings tools to tweak the systems
[11:15] <arooni> dr_willis, i'm so done
[11:15] <koshari> arooni the key is to choose your hardware carefully
[11:15] <craxie> My local computer shop will install Ubuntu on any of the boxes. He just needs a bit longer to prepare it. I don't know why Dell can't do that
[11:15] <arooni> koshari, the hardware i did try to get working was on supported hardware list
[11:15] <arooni> koshari, so i quit
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> shop smart...shop s-mart
[11:15] <dr_willis> arooni i have had very few issues with any of my 5+ nvidia cards.  So i cant help ya much on the info youve given.
[11:15] <koshari> arooni btw whats the prob with the video hardware? what gpu do you have? what drivers are you using?
[11:16] <arooni> koshari, radeon hd 3650, geforce 8600gts, 7200s, 9400gt, 9500gt
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> arooni: does envyng not help out?
[11:16] <arooni> i've tried them all
[11:16] <abhijeet> That was funny....I Just tried to install the driver through the terminal
[11:16] <abhijeet> and it worked
[11:16] <craxie> He won't install any other distros though he says they're too much trouble :)
[11:16] <abhijeet> wow!
[11:16] <abhijeet> I love LINUX
[11:16] <koshari> arooni i have a 7200 gpu working flawlessly here,
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> abhijeet: envyng s good but unofficial, if it works then great
[11:17] <arooni> ActionParsnip, no;  niether does compiling drivers by unix utility, or envy, or restricted modules
[11:17] <arooni> i hate ubuntu right now :(
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> abhijeet: just remember what i said about kernel updates
[11:17] <abhijeet> I didn't install that....Linux installed it's default driver for
[11:17] <abhijeet> nVidia
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> arooni: tried the driver from www.nvidia.com
[11:17] <arooni> ActionParsnip, yeah i did
[11:17] <N0_Named_Guy> hi guys
[11:17] <N0_Named_Guy> I need help with WTK please!
[11:17] <craxie> arooni nvidia and Linux don't seem to marry very happily
[11:18] <koshari> arooni rather than whining if you let someone know the specific problems its possable we may be able to assist?
[11:18] <abhijeet> I'll remember that
[11:18] <N0_Named_Guy> it gives me jerky sound when emulating mobile phones
[11:18] <N0_Named_Guy> please help me, thank you :)
[11:18] <Joshooa> dr_willis: So I tried it, applied, and it deleted the partition but couldn't create any new ones
[11:18] <dr_willis> Its possible somthingyou did earlier, messed up stuff so the other 'ways' dont work. Without any speficic logs/info we cant help much.
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> abhijeet: if you dont remember you can boot to cli and change your xorg.conf to nv instead of nvidia with nano
[11:18] <arooni> koshari, i appreciate that;  but i'm very sleepy and want to go to sleep :P ... i'm going to return all these computer parts to frys tomrorrow and order from dell
[11:19] <dr_willis> ActionParsnip,  ive 'heard' that envyng is supposed to see kernel updates.. but im not sure how true/good that feature is,
[11:19] <craxie> I have to say though I have amatrox card on this machine and that worked fine
[11:19] <craxie> Maybe Matrox is more hit and miss?
[11:19] <dr_willis> Matrox - is rarely even heard of these days. :)
[11:19] <N0_Named_Guy> does anyone here develops Java MIDlets in Ubuntu??
[11:19] <craxie> It's quite an old machine
[11:20] <tyso1> how do i add a program to my menu so i can run it without the command line/
[11:20] <platyhelminthh> How to make that I have a sound at an hour ?
[11:20] <craxie> I upgraded most of it but I don't really have any need for fancy graphics so it has the pre 2003 graphics card still in there :)
[11:20] <dr_willis> platyhelminthh,  check the packag4e manager for 'alarm' utilities  - and use one of them is one way.
[11:20] <koshari> tyso1 right click the gnome menu started and edit, then add a menu item
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: ive always had issues with kernel updates but im ok with changing stuff
[11:21] <tyso1> thanks
[11:21] <dr_willis> ActionParsnip,  - i just had to use envynt on my laptop the other day..waiting for a kernel update now - to see what happens
[11:21] <N0_Named_Guy> ok, seems no one can help me in the java MIDlets subject
[11:21] <N0_Named_Guy> thank you anyway :S
[11:21] <craxie> ActionParsnip kernel updates have worked wel for me in Deb distros - it seems to be Fedora that ties knots over kernel changes
[11:21] <craxie> Well so far any way#
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> N0_Named_Guy: try in #java maybe
[11:22] <N0_Named_Guy> ok thx
[11:23] <craxie> ActionParsnip you nick reminds me of an old punk group called action pact - but you've probably never heard of them :0

[11:28] <Melch> Hi, I have a question about Ubuntu installation.
[11:28] <Christoph_vW> my ssh connection died while install a new kernel image with aptitude :/
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> Melch: ask away
[11:29] <Christoph_vW> can anything be broken now?
[11:29] <Melch> I have 64bit Vista Ultimate, which I want to dualboot ubuntu and vista with. I used the Vista partitioning, and shrunk my primary drive to about 15GB.
[11:29] <craxie> bhindi to be honest there is agroup called local proxy on the freelist server that discusses all that in detail - they are an anti censorship group.
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> Christoph_vW: no as yuo havent rebooted yet, just rerun the command
[11:30] <Melch> Then I installed Ubuntu 8.04, and the install process went allright.
[11:30] <robert__>  /join #ubuntu-pl
[11:30] <robert__>  \join #ubuntu-pl
[11:30] <Melch> I can't get Ubuntu to boot, I don't even get the option to do so
[11:30] <jositito> algún español¿
[11:30] <Christoph_vW> ActionParsnip: doesn't do anything when I run it again
[11:30] <Melch> Tried EasyBCD, but that didn't work.
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> !grub | Melch
[11:30] <robert__>  /join #ubuntu-pl
[11:31] <Melch> will read
[11:31] <Christoph_vW> ActionParsnip: and the new kernel image is in boot already
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> Christoph_vW: then uninstall what you installd then rerun
[11:31] <Minty95> am tring sound, can someone reply to me using my nick please
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> Christoph_vW: how could you e booted into a kernel you are installing, you will be booted into an older kernel
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> Minty95: yo
[11:31] <Minty95> bah didnt work
[11:32] <Minty95> and again pleae
[11:32] <craxie>  Vista seems to cause issues with grub doesn't it?
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> Minty95: test
[11:32] <Christoph_vW> ActionParsnip: the new kernel is in menu.lst already
[11:32] <Minty95> ah still not good
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> Christoph_vW: but you havent booted to it as you were in the middle of installing it
[11:33] <Christoph_vW> yep

[11:47] <abhijeet> oright I'll try that
[11:47] <ShinobiTeno> do that=)
[11:47] <sfer2> abhijeet: you can go to terminal and then type sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to get the contents of your xorg.conf file

[11:48] <Guest53543> Hi. i'm new to linux, Could someone tell me why can't I play music, my sound doesn't work :/ if I make the hardware test it does play the sound, but If i want to play music I can't heard anything.
[11:48] <ShinobiTeno> sfer2 i mean i had same problem, and it was 100000 times discussed and solved.
[11:48] <athleone> How can I stop an apt-get mid-way?
[11:49] <ShinobiTeno> Guest53543 you need to install "restricted" package in synaptic
[11:49] <sfer2> Guest53543: What program are you using tgo play music?
[11:49] <sfer2> athleone: try pressing Ctrl+C
[11:49] <notwist> Guest53543: check out the ubuntu help for sound. google for it :)
[11:49] <Guest53543> rythmbox
[11:49] <abhijeet> All right I opened it...What am I looking for here: <ShinobiTeno
[11:49] <athleone> Ctrl-C cancels it, not stops it, right? I won't have any leftover file scraps?
[11:50] <sfer2> Hmm, It might just stop it, I'm not sure
[11:50] <ShinobiTeno> abhijeet look for Monitor section
[11:50] <ShinobiTeno> get you monitor name and its data
[11:51] <ShinobiTeno> and modify monitor section so it matches
[11:51] <ShinobiTeno> people anyone using GNOME here?
[11:51] <ShinobiTeno> I got a little problem with GNOME. Whenever i start anything in it, its window come to BACKGROUND, ie no focus.
[11:51] <ShinobiTeno> anyone know how to configure GNOME so new windows get focus?
[11:51] <Valcyon> I deleted the lost+found folder on my ext3 partition. Will it be created automatically again when it is needed? (i.e. when some lost+found stuff should be going in there)
[11:52] <ShinobiTeno> Valcyon, do sudo fsck /dev/yourdevice
[11:52] <ShinobiTeno> unmount it before
[11:52] <ShinobiTeno> it will be recreated
[11:52] <abhijeet> Yeah, it just says: Section "Monitor"
[11:52] <abhijeet> 	Identifier	"Configured Monitor"
[11:52] <abhijeet> EndSection
[11:52] <Valcyon> ShinobiTeno, okay i'll try, thanks man
[11:53] <mytux> hi
[11:53] <ShinobiTeno> np)
[11:53] <ShinobiTeno> ok abhijeet whats you monitor name. Exact monitor name
[11:54] <athleone> So it Ctrl-C during apt-get might spoil my computer? O.O
[11:54] <sfer2> If you're only downloading a small application, I don't think so
[11:54] <ketkk> hi, i'm on the livecd and i want to umount my swap to be able to format that partition. anybody can help me pls?
[11:54] <sfer2> But if you're doing something vital, perhaps.
[11:54] <redheat> hi everyone
[11:55] <athleone> crap.
[11:55] <sleon> redheat <_--- ??
[11:55] <athleone> Frozen Bubble isn't vital, right?
[11:55] <redheat> hi everyone
[11:55] <sfer2> athleone: What exactly is it you are doing?
[11:55] <sfer2> No, of course not :P
[11:55] <sleon> redheat: hi
[11:55] <redheat> hi sleon, just a quick question, is ubuntu's root sector the same as its boot sector?
[11:56] <redheat> I mean where's teh boot sector?
[11:56] <redheat> the*
[11:57] <adac> trackerd heavily loads my hard disk all of the time! What is wrong?
[11:57] <ketkk> hi, i'm on the livecd and i want to umount my swap to be able to format that partition. anybody know how to do that?
[11:58] <redheat> anyone folks..
[11:58] <Slart> ketkk: tried swapoff?
[11:58] <redheat> what is the boot sector? where can I locate it?
[11:58] <redheat> is it the same as the root sector?
[11:58] <dns53> redheat block 0 on the hard disk and backups throughout
[11:58] <ketkk> redheat: i did but don't seem to happen anything
[11:58] <Slart> redheat: the boot sector is on the first track of your hard drive.. perhaps you mean sometghing else?
[11:59] <redheat> what?
[11:59] <Slart> redheat: what are you trying to do? where did you read about this "root sector" ?
[11:59] <redheat> didn't get a word of that..guys I'm not talking hardware wise
[11:59] <redheat> I mean if I don't want my bootloader to be installed to the bootsector and I want it to be installed to the root sector
[11:59] <redheat> how can I tell the difference
[12:00] <Slart> redheat: I've never heard the phrase "root sector" before.. can't help you
[12:00] <redheat> the location where the bootloader is? that's what I mean where is it by default stored to?
[12:00] <jhesketh> where is pidgins home folder (ie the place it stores logs and configs etc)
[12:00] <athleone> So what should I do first, being new to Ubuntu?
[12:00] <redheat> I'm trying to have four operating systems to run on my computer I already have two/
[12:01] <redheat> windows xp, window vista and I want ot isntall ubuntu and opensuse
[12:01] <Certh> redheat: I bet there is not more two OSes actually
[12:01] <ketkk> i've got it swapoff -a
[12:01] <dns53> redheat you can install grub on the mbr (first block on the disk) or on the first block on the partition, you can then get one grub to chainload and call the other grubs on the start of the partition
[12:02] <redheat> ok thanks anyway
[12:02] <Timberwolf5578> Where are icons usually stored? what folder?
[12:02] <dns53> redheat partition the disk, install xp, then vista, then either opensuse or ubuntu
[12:03] <Timberwolf5578> can someone please tell me which folder icons are usually stored in?
[12:03] <bbryant>  /usr/share/icons
[12:03] <Phloam> Why am I getting a no installable kernel waf foun in the defined APT sources error?
[12:03] <dns53> redheat install grub on the mbr with one of the linux installs, the other on the start of a partition, look at the grub config and see how it chainloads the vista and xp and copy that for the other linux
[12:03] <Phloam> during install that is
[12:05] <milostrife> hey could anyone tell me a p2p client for ubuntu?
[12:05] <bastid_raZor> Timberwolf5578; /usr/share/pixmaps for non-theme related icons
[12:05] <Phloam> Can i install without a kernel or is that really hard?
[12:05] <Timberwolf5578> how do I open the file browser as root in gnome??
[12:05] <bastid_raZor> milostrife; like a torrent application?
[12:06] <Timberwolf5578> like what is gnome's version of Konqueror?
[12:06] <milostrife> bastid_raZor, yeah but dont know any other that utorrent
[12:06] <amt2> my ubuntu has recently been 'crashing' for no apparent reason. a black screen appears showing some information and then i can't do anything. this had happened very few times int he past, but it just happened, i rebooted, and it happened again in less than 5 minutes. any ideas?
[12:06] <Slart> Timberwolf5578: gksudo nautilus, but be careful
[12:06] <bastid_raZor> Timberwolf5578; gksu nautilus
[12:06] <Timberwolf5578> thanks
[12:06] <dns53> Phloam the kernel is the core of the os and handles drivers etc, you need one there working
[12:06] <bastid_raZor> milostrife; transmission, deluge, ktorrent are a few
[12:07] <Phloam> dns53 why can't I get it off the CD then?
[12:07] <tuxice> amt2- is this just a random occurence
[12:07] <milostrife> bastid_raZor, any you'd reconmmed
[12:07] <tuxice> amt2- and what info does it show
[12:07] <amt2> tuxice: what do you mean by random occurence? yea, it just happens with no apparent pattern
[12:07] <dns53> Phloam you using the server/alternate install cd?
[12:08] <amt2> tuxice: im not really sure, sometimes it's jsut a black screen with sort of a prompt.... if i then hit ctrl
[12:08] <Phloam> dns53 using alternate. Should I try live?
[12:08] <ghaleb> hello, I want to backup 200 GB into 40G tapes using cpio, how can I make parts or multiple tapes ?
[12:08] <bastid_raZor> milostrife; for gnome based transmission is the default. ktorrent is more like uTorrent
[12:08] <amt2> if i then hit ctrl+alt+del there i can see a lot of things like related to ALSA and Gnome
[12:08] <amt2> probably them shutting down or something...
[12:08] <dns53> Phloam do you have networking setup and the internet working?
[12:09] <tuxice> amt2- does the computer shut down or does it just stay at the prompt
[12:09] <Phloam> dns53 I didnt get network working. Is that important?
[12:09] <amt2> tuxice: it stays at the prompt. although it's not really a promt.. if i type a command or antyhing it doesnt owkr
[12:09] <tuxice> i see
[12:09] <milostrife> bastid_raZor,  could tell how to install i've unzipped it from the archive?
[12:10] <dns53> Phloam well if you had networking setup it may be getting that of the internet, or it may allow you to download one during install
[12:10] <bastid_raZor> milostrife; install what? all those are in the repo's
[12:11] <Timberwolf5578> Can someone please look at this icon theme and tell me what I need to install?  I already installed the deltagreenfull icon set.  What are the rest of those files?  http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/DeltaGreen%2BDeltaFar?content=75563
[12:11] <Phloam> dns53 I think it's a hardware thing, and the installer cant find my network device. Any other way?
[12:11] <milostrife> bastid_raZor, ty got it now XD
[12:12] <dns53> Phloam perhaps the live cd may be easier, but you could potentially download this file off the internet and copy it to that computer
[12:12] <Phloam> dns53 is it possible to install it on a flash?
[12:13] <Chetic> I'm trying to start Half-Life 2 with Wine. I can play hl2dm without any problems, but when I try to start hl2, nothing really happens
[12:13] <Chetic> Anybody think they can help me get Half-Life 2 working?
[12:14] <ShinobiTeno> guys do you know how in GNOME make so, that new windows STEAL focus?
[12:14] <Timberwolf5578> where would my firefox icon be located?
[12:15] <Slart> Timberwolf5578: why don't you take a look at "grep".. it will help you with all these questions
[12:15] <Timberwolf5578> I just need to find firefox icon
[12:15] <dns53> Phloam well it seems like just the kernel package is messed up, you could potentially just copy this over to the computer running the install but it might be too much bother if you don't know what you are doing, your cd may have problems or your cd drive
[12:16] <Phloam> dns53 I've checked both CD, md5 and memory. Still possible it's a hardware thing? The compy is pretty new.
[12:16] <bastid_raZor> Timberwolf5578; look in ~/.mozilla
[12:17] <mige> hello everyone!
[12:17] <Daft_Punk> When I go into preferences or start my VM on virtualbox I get the following error message (but if I click ok, it lets me continue) http://paste.ubuntu.com/48003/ What does this mean?
[12:18] <dns53> Phloam well it occasionally happens with me, it can depend on the burning speed etc so the md5 may be right but it reads different sometimes

[12:23] <Timberwolf5578> Can someone please tell me where firefox icons are located?  are they in usr/bin ?
[12:23] <Diwas> the network manager doesnt show or identify my internet connection. it says no network device found. BTW im sorry abt the return...im new to IRC and today is my first day in fact first hour
[12:23] <Daft_Punk> !wireless | Diwas
[12:24] <bastid_raZor> Timberwolf5578; /usr/share/pixmaps is the folder
[12:24] <tuxice> TImberwolf5578: i believe they are in /usr/bin/firefox-2.0/icons but google can help you out ;)
[12:24] <Diwas> im sorry sir..its not wireless. Im connected to ADSL router through ethernet card.
[12:24] <Daft_Punk> Diwas, how are you online right now then?
[12:25] <ushimitsudoki> Timberwolf5578: you could search your system. Try something like: "locate firefox | grep icon"
[12:25] <Christoph_vW> Diwas: post lspci output then
[12:25] <Daft_Punk> umm actually post output on pastebin please
[12:25] <Daft_Punk> not in here :)
[12:26] <Diwas> guys...idk if im allowed to do this or not...but i have a link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=889948
[12:26] <Daft_Punk> When I go into preferences or start my VM on virtualbox I get the following error message (but if I click ok, it lets me continue) http://paste.ubuntu.com/48003/ What does this mean?\
[12:26] <macvr> hi guys... i'd like to know how to use my media keys with vlc player
[12:27] <Daft_Punk> macvr, are you talking about media buttons on the computer itself? IE like on a laptop?
[12:27] <tuxice> Daft_Punk: serious problem or example?
[12:27] <Timberwolf5578> thanks, they were in usr/lib
[12:27] <Daft_Punk> tuxice, if you are refering to my VM issue, it is a problem I am having
[12:27] <macvr> ya . laptop
[12:27] <tuxice> Daft_Punk i see
[12:27] <Daft_Punk> macvr, usually those buttons require a driver to function and are only for windows and supplied by manufacture, I do not know where you can get a driver for them in linux
[12:28] <Daft_Punk> macvr, I have media buttons on my laptop too and they don't work simply because there is no driver for them for linux
[12:28] <Diwas> did u check the link?? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=889948
[12:28] <macvr> i'm able to use the buttons with rhythm box
[12:29] <kelder> Diwas: I checked the link, I see you've been having the issue for a while :/ unfortunately i dont know whats causing it
[12:29] <macvr> but didnt know how to configure them for vlc player use\
[12:29] <Daft_Punk> macvr, rhythm box could have a built in driver for those buttons and not VLC, so again im unsure where you can obtain them, maybe instead of VLC you can try totem or another media player to see if they function in there?
[12:30] <macvr> daft>it works in totem too...
[12:30] <marnanel> Is there a way in Ubuntu to list all the codepoints provided by a .ttf file?
[12:30] <Diwas> kelder: thank you, yes, its been quite a while and every distro of ubuntu has it. i even reinstalled the system and still nothng.
[12:30] <CW> Daft_Punk: Here's the solution:
[12:30] <dns53> macvr what you need to do is basically see what character the button press produces, then set that key press to be the function in the program, there are tools to get the key that was pressed
[12:30] <CW> with root privileges, open the file /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh with a text editor and remove the following character #
[12:30] <CW> Save the file and open /etc/fstab (always while using root privileges).
[12:31] <CW> At the eof, add this line: none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1000,devmode=664 0 0 Now save, reboot your machine and you should be able to use your usb devices.
[12:31] <FloodBot2> CW: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:31] <macvr> dns53> how do i do it?
[12:31] <Daft_Punk> macvr, VLC may not have it functioning properly because it relies on it's own drivers that are built in rather than on the drivers for your system so if you are set on using VLC, it is best to contact someone that knows VLC better than I
[12:31] <koshari> macvr you can use a console program to see what output the keys use and then map them in vlc
[12:32] <dns53> macvr i can't remember off the top of my head, let me research
[12:32] <ushimitsudoki> xev
[12:32] <macvr> koshari> i'm a noob... which program is the console program?
[12:32] <onx> Daft_Punk, try xbindkeys yet?
[12:32] <kelder> Diwas: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/213368
[12:32] <Daft_Punk> onx, for what?
[12:32] <tuxice> macvr --> Applications -- Accesories -- Terminal
[12:32] <macvr> daft_punk... i did get the error for virtualbox... and have solved.. it
[12:32] <onx> Daft_Punk, using your media keys :)
[12:33] <wers> what code runs gnome's appearance dialog?
[12:33] <Daft_Punk> macvr, what did you do
[12:33] <acp_> !bootup optimization
[12:33] <Daft_Punk> onx, oh i dont care about my media keys, it is macvr that wanted that
[12:33] <jrib> wers: gnome-appearance-properties
[12:33] <Timberwolf5578> back
[12:33] <wers> nice. thanks, jrib
[12:33] <macvr> daft_> i'm a bit caught up ... in the replies for my vlc .. will try to recollect, n get back
[12:34] <CW> Daft: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-614576.html
[12:34] <onx> oh, well then - macvr, give xbindkeys a try
[12:34] <macvr> tuxie, terminal... then?
[12:34] <koshari> macvr xev
[12:35] <Diwas> kedler: im checking it...thanks...hope it helps.
[12:35] <roukoun> hi everyone
[12:36] <Timberwolf5578_> This is weird, when I minimize the firefox window, it dissapears into the quick launch icon, and I get no window tab on the bottom.  How do I fix that?
[12:36] <macvr> trying with xbind keys.... do i have to install the conf too?
[12:36] <CostaRicanQuaker> i'm having trouble loading opera, it appears on the list of apps on the system monitor but it won't load
[12:36] <dns53> macvr run xev in a terminal, this will capture the key codes
[12:36] <sfer2> Timberwolf: Try right-clicking the bottom panel and then clicking add to panel, then drag Window List into the panel.
[12:37] <zxxd> PUtZ
[12:37] <koshari> macvr i have never used xbindkeys, with xev just note the charactor that flashes up and map it in vlc
[12:38] <macvr> ok.. using xev.. trying to figure it out
[12:40] <roukoun> i have a problem with flash... I use xmms like a media player, when i have a site that uses flash open and i am trying to listen to my music from xmms a message like the following appears: "Please check that:   -Your soundcard is configured properly  -You have the correct output plugin selected    -No other program is blocking the soundcard". Actually when i am trying to do the same with the ubuntu default media player everything is ok...
[12:41] <macvr> i dont know what i'm looking for!
[12:41] <dns53> roukoun that's how flash works, it is written to use alsa which takes over your sound card
[12:42] <roukoun> dns53: so what's the solution to this?
[12:42] <CostaRicanQuaker> help, i'm having trouble loading opera, i get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/48010/
[12:42] <koshari> macvr just push the key you want to map and not the charactor that flashes by
[12:42] <koshari> thats the charactor you wil map to vlc

[12:43] <plouffe> System resources: my memory runs up, up to 2GB RAM, and about 1GB swap usage, resulting in my system almost freezing. Closing apps (like pidgin which shouldn't take that much space) frees some space, but not all. How can I free more space? When I look at processes it uses only a fraction of mem that is occupied in system monitor>resources.

[12:45] <dns53> roukoun there is no solution other than not using adobe flash, gnash does not have this problem i believe, sorry for sending the wrong message to you
[12:45] <ShinobiTeno> nobody answeres
[12:45] <plouffe> but mem is only 3.7 for the two
[12:45] <bazhang> plouffe, are you using compiz
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo

[12:46] <tuxice> ShinobiTeno - you dont have to ask to ask, and as long as you dont flood youre welcome to post more than once
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> !ask | xMassi1986x

[12:47] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: did you install opera from repos?
[12:47] <CostaRicanQuaker> i get the same output error
[12:47] <plouffe> bazhang mem and swap are still at 1G total. But now my gnome is messed up
[12:47] <ShinobiTeno> nice, abhijeet
[12:47] <CostaRicanQuaker> i sudo aptitude install opera
[12:47] <ShinobiTeno> keep watching
[12:47] <bazhang> plouffe, what do you mean messed up
[12:47] <roukoun> ShinobiTeno: can you ask your question again?
[12:47] <CostaRicanQuaker> so it must have been from the repos or ppa worse case scenario
[12:47] <CostaRicanQuaker> why?
[12:47] <CostaRicanQuaker> ActionParsnip,
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: also, nevr run a web browser as root, and never run gui apps with sudo, so sudo opera is just a whole world of wrongness
[12:48] <dns53> xMassi1986x ssh user@server -X you can use putty and xming to do this under windows
[12:48] <abhijeet> Yeah....I'll keep a look out....Thanks alot man....first problem with linux

[12:48] <roukoun> what's the best browser? opera or firefox?
[12:48] <Pici> !best | roukoun
[12:48] <abhijeet> ;)
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> ShinobiTeno: id figure the new app would always steal focus
[12:48] <bazhang> plouffe, you cant move windows? how did you shut off compiz and are you using emerald for themes
[12:49] <ShinobiTeno> no they dont... they appear in the background by me
[12:49] <ShinobiTeno> i checked gconf
[12:49] <ShinobiTeno> no way...
[12:49] <plouffe> I just killed the compiz processes, and I couldn't move windowses or even change focus
[12:49] <xMassi1986x> dns53: i know this option. But I don't want to run aMule on system I use to connecting via SSH. I want to run it directly on my PC :)
[12:49] <bazhang> plouffe, aha
[12:49] <ShinobiTeno> thats really frustrating
[12:50] <bazhang> plouffe, that is not the way to do it. No wonder you are having troubles
[12:50] <CostaRicanQuaker> ActionParsnip, i didnt' run it as root
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> ShinobiTeno: i use kde so im no use for gnome questions, sorry
[12:50] <bazhang> plouffe, go to appearances and set to none in effects
[12:50] <CostaRicanQuaker> i tried to run it from the terminal

[12:51] <plouffe> bazhang: ok, but still no effect in mem usage
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> ShinobiTeno: why not use your terminal
[12:51] <macvr> dns> i dont get that string!!!

[12:51] <dns53> macvr well it's over my head, ask again in a while or search the forums
[12:51] <ShinobiTeno> besides love NortonCommander-like things
[12:51] <macvr> ok...
[12:51] <plouffe> ActionParsnip: yes one sec
[12:52] <bazhang> plouffe, is it really slower with compiz or the reverse
[12:52] <mib_w9d75zd8> So I just finished installing ubuntu like 2 mins ago, it had a bunch of updates then rebooted and finally found my broadcom 43xx wifi, it asked me to auto install and enable it, but when I rebooted still was not there
[12:52] <rodolfo_> running compiz on a i915-based-nobo seems to be too heavy for my video card...does the intel driver 2.4+ get this solved or so far nothing has changed?
[12:52] <Phloam> hey can someone help me with adding some lines to boot options? its a quick and easy thing for someone who knows...
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> ShinobiTeno: then ive no idea, maybe ask in #gnome
[12:52] <CostaRicanQuaker> ActionParsnip, yes, i just checked the terminal and i got it from here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser so i definetely got it from the repos
[12:52] <ShinobiTeno> actionParsnip: nice idea thanks!
[12:52] <plouffe> bazhang: it's not slow now, but I had to shut down pidgin to free something like 1.5Gig in mem usage
[12:52] <macvr> does anyone know how to make a fonts config act only on thunderbird?
[12:52] <ShinobiTeno> didnt think bout it.
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: did you make the folders in your ~/
[12:53] <bazhang> plouffe, that is one hungry pidgin; sounds like a bug
[12:53] <CostaRicanQuaker> ActionParsnip, what folders?
[12:53] <Guest91716> Need a little help securing a RAID5 (sw)  migration from one system to another. I was told that mdadm will pick up the raid automatically.

[12:53] <Phloam> I want to add noapic to boot, how do I do it?
[12:53] <plouffe> bazhang: yes but mem usage is still too high
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> CostaRicanQuaker: when you follow a guide, read it all the way down
