[07:14] <pbureau> s/do/dont
[07:14] <minimec> pbureau: OK ;)
[07:15] <shatrat> aalhamad, "touch filename"
[07:15] <maja> pbureau, still no connection after boot
[07:15] <shmeelAway> hmm
[07:15] <shmeelAway> k
[07:15] <aalhamad> how can i create a text file ..? using commandline
[07:15] <BTR> Hi, how do i change my color settings
[07:15] <shatrat> aalhamad, that will make an empty file named filename
[07:15] <aalhamad> ok..
[07:15] <aalhamad> thanks
[07:15] <IdleOne> aalhamad: sudo nano filename.txt
[07:15] <soundray> !cli | aalhamad
[07:15] <ubotu> aalhamad: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[07:15] <minimec> anyone in cyberspace getting an 'signal 11' error while starting 'imwheel -c'?
[07:16] <aalhamad> nano or touch?
[07:16] <IdleOne> aalhamad: either will work
[07:16] <aalhamad> ok
[07:16] <shmeelAway> what was the command to see if somehting was installed in the first place or not?
[07:16] <soundray> aalhamad: touch to create an empty file. nano to edit
[07:16] <aalhamad> thanks
[07:16] <Pici> aalhamad : touch creates an empty file, nano lets you edit it
[07:16] <shmeelAway> -l greb somehting?
[07:16] <soundray> shmeelAway: 'dpkg -l packagename'
[07:16] <IdleOne> nano will also create the empty file if it doesnt exist
[07:17] <hjmills> hi all
[07:17] <hjmills> what is everybodys best time saving trick (on linux)
[07:17] <Pici> 900 people reply, hi
[07:17] <LtSmith> Noiam not but I'm sure If  you look on the wiki or the forums you might be able to figure out how to fix the issue.
[07:17] <shatrat> hjmills, dont install beryl
[07:17] <Pici> hjmills : using the cli effectivly, like making use of shell scripts, grep, etc
[07:17] <hjmills> shatrat, lol - because of the rendering time or because u end up playing with the fancy eye candy?
[07:18] <shatrat> hjmills, because I spend more time tinkering than sleeping
[07:18] <IdleOne> Pici: that command is sudo reply nick hi #ubuntu
[07:18] <LtSmith> Please don't install beryl.
[07:18] <soundray> hjmills: I completely concur with Pici
[07:18] <hjmills> shatrat, lol - i have it installed but mainly to wow the people who see the cool fire effects and the cube - the transparency is good too
[07:19] <hjmills> soundray and Pici, any apps in particular?
[07:19] <shmeelAway> hmm, somethings wrong, i clearly have installed vmware player, but when i type in the command and look for "vmware player" it returns nothing
[07:19] <soundray> hjmills: find and xargs
[07:19] <hjmills> soundray, i havent discovered xargs and is find better than locate?
[07:19] <shatrat> hjmills, and fortune!
[07:19] <tbf> is there a chance I'll see epiphany 2.16.2 instead of 2.16.1 in edgy? 2.16.1 complains "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded." instead of just visiting google - which is quite annoying; in 2.16.2 this bug shall be fixed.
[07:19] <soundray> hjmills: two different kettle of fish
[07:20] <Pici> shmeelAway : package names are one word, so just try to look for vmware
[07:20] <shmeelAway> i did
[07:20] <shmeelAway> nothing
[07:20] <hjmills> shatrat, now since you told me about your tinkering habits im inclined to disbelieve that
[07:20] <Led-Hed> I cant seem to mount a NFS share from fstab,  I installed the portmap & nfs-common packages, and can mount a NFS share manually, but can seem to mount it from fstab.
[07:20] <LjL> hjmills: there's just quite different. locate is fast, because it uses a database. however, the database is updated only daily (by default). find is slower but actually searches the filesystem, and has a load of options for narrowing down your searches
[07:20] <Pici> shmeelAway : did you install it as a .deb package or from one of the repos, or some other way?
[07:20] <hjmills> shatrat, also - have you tried using cowsay with fortune? (cowsay `fortune`)
[07:21] <arnnn> Jowi, thank you
[07:21] <shmeelAway> i downloaded some tar.gz file i think, extracted it and installed w/ some command
[07:21] <soundray> hjmills: find all files in your home folder that were created today and search them for 'string': 'find ~ -mtime -1 -print0 | xargs -0 grep string'
[07:21] <shatrat> hjmills, fortune|cowsay
[07:22] <hjmills> shatrat, oops - my bad
[07:22] <LtSmith> i bet ypu probably  used the ./ionstall.sh command.
[07:22] <Pici> shmeelAway : there may be an uninstall script in that archive, such as make uninstall or make remove (you'd need to look at the isntall readme'
[07:22] <hjmills> soundray, so is the print0 the bit to send it to xargs with the -0
[07:22] <shmeelAway> bah, i create so much trouble for myself lol
[07:22] <shmeelAway> thxfor the help, hopefully i'll get it working
[07:23] <soundray> hjmills: yes. You can do without -print0 and -0 if you don't use spaces or tabs in your filenames.
[07:24] <concept10> !backports
[07:24] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[07:24] <soundray> hjmills: I will try saving some time now using Ctrl-Q on my IRC client... Bye
[07:24] <hjmills> soundray, thanks :D that is helpful
[07:25] <Pici> Isnt xargs just a fancy way of getting $@ ?
[07:27] <Led-Hed> does the default Ubuntu Edgy install block ssh connections?
[07:28] <Pici> Led-Hed : the default install doesnt include the sshd server
[07:28] <Led-Hed> Pici: well that explains it.  Thanks
[07:30] <Alexc90> how i can record a stream tv?
[07:30] <Hamled> Is there any reason decompyle is not available in edgy?
[07:30] <Alexc90> with mplayers
[07:32] <LjL> Hamled: the most likely is that nobody was interested in making a package.
[07:32] <eboogie> Good afternoo, guys.
[07:32] <Hamled> LjL, but it's back in fiesty :(
[07:32] <LjL> Hamled: then request a backport
[07:32] <eboogie> Quick question: when someone says they're running gnome with engage, are they saying that they are running gnome and enlightenment?
[07:32] <LjL> Ubotu, tell Hamled about backports | Hamled, see the private message from Ubotu
[07:33] <riotkittie> tab = enter on the logon screen = ... teh most annoying thing ever.
[07:34] <shatrat> riotkittie, do you have a tab in the middle of your login name?
[07:34] <riotkittie> shatrat: no :P
[07:35] <shatrat> I dont see a problem.  The most annoying thing ever is when my wireless keyboard isnt connected properly and I have to ctrl alt backspace in order to log in
[07:35] <wellstevesays> hello?
[07:35] <shatrat> or the most annoying thing ever could be Whoopie Goldberg
[07:35] <shatrat> its a tossup
[07:35] <wellstevesays> When installing Ubuntu, do you put the ISO on a disc or do you put the items in the ISO on it?
[07:35] <shatrat> Hello wellstevesays, what do you say?
[07:35] <IdleOne> wellstevesays: the iso on disc
[07:35] <xtknight> wellstevesays, you burn the ISO to the cd directly
[07:35] <RageAgainstThis_> how could can i convert .deb to rpm
[07:35] <Alarm> hello. whats the best way to check my filesystem AND check my partition for general errors ? i saw fsck , but dont know what parameters to use actually
[07:35] <shatrat> wellstevesays, an iso is a disk image, you burn it using a dvd burning software
[07:35] <xtknight> wellstevesays, in other words, your disk imaging program will read the ISO and copy it bit-by-bit to the CD
[07:35] <riotkittie> but im not a fan of teh (as an aside, i miss xchat and its autocorrection) mice, and am prone to tab to switching fields
[07:36] <wellstevesays> Hmm I guess it just doesn't want to work
[07:36] <Alarm> or if it would be better to restart and get into recovery mode to do that fsck
[07:36] <riotkittie> then BAM, i am in gnome :\
[07:36] <shatrat> wellstevesays, I dont know what youre using to burn it, but there should be an Import Image or a Tool, Burn Image, option somewhere
[07:36] <IdleOne> wellstevesays: when you burn the iso make sure you chose to burn image and not burn data
[07:36] <wellstevesays> I used Disk Utility
[07:37] <wellstevesays> I was just making sure
[07:37] <xtknight> wellstevesays, use a freeware called "IMgBurn", great program for windows for Image burning
[07:37] <wellstevesays> Yeah I'm using OS X
[07:37] <wellstevesays> The PC i'm putting it on uses XP
[07:37] <Pici> wellstevesays : if you look at the fully burned disc, and it has an iso file on it, then you did it the wrong way ;)
[07:37] <riotkittie> and why why why is X running on 8 instead of 7? that is simply rhetorcial. unless someone has an answer. though i suppose its not like i need one as its not problematic.
[07:37] <wellstevesays> I installed Ubuntu on Parallels
[07:37] <con-man> I hate windows
[07:37] <wellstevesays> But it won't work on my PC
[07:38] <wellstevesays> I changed my BIOS to read CD ROM drive first
[07:38] <wellstevesays> nothing works.
[07:38] <shatrat> wellstevesays, what do you mean by wont work?
[07:38] <xtknight> wellstevesays, flash your bios
[07:38] <wellstevesays> It won't boot up
[07:38] <wellstevesays> Flash?
[07:38] <xtknight> wellstevesays, or use another pci controller
[07:38] <Byan> wellstevesays: has it ever booted to CD?
[07:39] <wellstevesays> When I put XP on it last year it did
[07:39] <Byan> yeah.. see, the BIOS isn't the problem then
[07:39] <xtknight> try booting from the xp cd now, see if it works?
[07:39] <Byan> good idea xtknight
[07:39] <wellstevesays> Alright one sec
[07:40] <dreameen> hi folks!
[07:40] <dreameen> are there any good clients of napster on linux?
[07:40] <wellstevesays> Ah no I get the same errors :(
[07:40] <wellstevesays> Says "Strike F1 to Retry
[07:40] <shatrat> dreameen, isnt napster just a paid website now?
[07:40] <xtknight> wellstevesays, restore BIOS defaults and try again
[07:41] <dreameen> shatrat: well, no it kinda developed into a full blown, legal music service with a brilliant client on windows
[07:41] <wellstevesays> Meaning?
[07:42] <Byan> wellstevesays: there is a jumper to clear the BIOS
[07:42] <Byan> on the motherboard
[07:42] <Byan> clear the CMOS*
[07:42] <IdleOne> dreameen: so it's a pay site
[07:42] <wellstevesays> Like in the computer?
[07:42] <Byan> uh.. yeah..
[07:42] <Pici> Or just go into the BIOS and find the reset to defaults option
[07:42] <wellstevesays> Lol
[07:42] <wellstevesays> K
[07:42] <wellstevesays> What's it look like?
[07:42] <shatrat> dreameen, well, you might be able to run it in wine.  you could check at appdb.winehq.org
[07:43] <Byan> try Pici's idea first...
[07:43] <dreameen> IdleOne: i guess u could say that
[07:43] <IdleOne> dreameen: try searching for napster in synaptic see if any clients show up
[07:43] <Byan> but that doesn't always work
[07:43] <dreameen> ok, lemme see
[07:43] <wellstevesays> There is no reset to default
[07:43] <Pici> Is there an option to set the cdrom as the first boot device?
[07:43] <wellstevesays> Yes
[07:44] <wellstevesays> It's already first
[07:44] <Pici> hm
[07:44] <belkin>  gunzip  is for gz archiver right ?
[07:44] <belkin> gunzip file.gz right
[07:44] <belkin> ?
[07:44] <Byan> belkin: yeah
[07:46] <wellstevesays> Byan what am I looking for on the mother board?
[07:46] <IdleOne> wellstevesays: you sure you want to be playing in there

[07:47] <wellstevesays> I would if I could get Ubuntu working on it
[07:47] <Daynah> I need some help guys. My computer is clicking.  I turned the computer off, and when I awoke in the morning I turned it back on to backup in, assumingly, the last stages of its harddrives last breaths. Ubuntu wouldn't load. I then assumed that it was my main hard drive (not my two others in storage, one just a week old). when I replaced it and booted it up, it still clicked loudly. The Ubuntu live
[07:47] <ikonia> Daynah: thats a hardware issue,
[07:47] <Byan> wellstevesays: I have to go to class
[07:47] <ikonia> nothing to do with ubuntu
[07:47] <wellstevesays> Alright
[07:47] <breedarg> ppl just to know which bittorrent client do u use
[07:48] <ikonia> breedarg: thats just personal preference
[07:48] <moz> azuereus is the best bit torrent client imo
[07:48] <shatrat> azureus
[07:48] <Byan> azuereus++
[07:48] <IdleOne> breedarg: azereus is a nice client but there are many others who would say it isnt
[07:48] <shatrat> Daynah, a lot of times hard drives fail right away, it might be the new one.
[07:48] <RageAgainstThis_> does alien convert .deb to rpm as well?
[07:48] <Byan> ubuntu on wine? thats the only other full client..
[07:48] <moz> better off compiling from source
[07:49] <breedarg> ... yes i think so ... but something wired is happening with my azureus .. my taskbar icon ... isn't working ... i've already activated it
[07:49] <Daynah> Shatrat, Thanks. Would it cause Ubuntu not to load during boot up?
[07:49] <moz> I forget irc command :(
[07:49] <moz> s
[07:49] <TokenBad> ok a friend installed ubuntu from a hoary disk..but he has no X....any help with this?
[07:49] <Daynah> Shatrat, there is no OS on the new harddrive
[07:49] <ikonia> Daynah: thats the problem - its HARDWARE nothing to do with OS
[07:49] <shatrat> Daynah, possibly.  Not sure, ive never had a non-root hard drive croak.  Try unplugging it though
[07:50] <ikonia> TokenBad: is it installed or not
[07:50] <breedarg> have any of you tried ubuntu 7.04?
[07:50] <Hamled> I know this is a bit of a silly question, but what package do I need to install to get stdio.h and stuff? For some reason the vmware image I am using doesn't have any of the basic development stuff :('
[07:50] <ikonia> breedarg: yes
[07:50] <TokenBad> ikonia I don't know...how would he tell?
[07:50] <Arigato> how do I list samba users?
[07:50] <breedarg> and? ...
[07:50] <shatrat> Hamled, build-essential?
[07:50] <breedarg> anything new yet?
[07:50] <ikonia> breedarg: and what ?
[07:50] <ikonia> breedarg: lots of new stuff, but its unstable
[07:50] <shatrat> Arigato, they should be listed in Places/Network Servers
[07:50] <Hamled> shatrat, thanks
[07:50] <breedarg> oh :(
[07:50] <ikonia> TokenBad: sudo X
[07:50] <Daynah> Ikonia, I know :) But when you go for help with hard ware issues to people who don't know stuff about linux they say, "Oh, you use linux. I can't help you." as if it has something to do with anything. ;)
[07:51] <ikonia> Daynah: don't talk rubbish a clicking harddrive with no os has nothing to do with windows/linux/mac ox
[07:51] <SushiP> Quote from my isp "Oh, that linux thing, we don't support it".
[07:51] <shatrat> Daynah, usually if a hard drive is gonna croak it does it right away or right after the warranty expries.  I bet its the new drive. Just unplug shit till it works (and make sure there isnt like a cable hanging in a fan or something)
[07:52] <TokenBad> ikonia checking with him now
[07:52] <IdleOne> SushiP: you must have comcast because they said the exact same thing to me hehe
[07:52] <Raffy> O_O
[07:52] <Raffy> 1028
[07:52] <wellstevesays> Anyone have any ideas why my computer won't boot up from CD ROM drive?
[07:52] <SushiP> Nah, Bezeqint.
[07:52] <SushiP> I'm in Israel.
[07:52] <Daynah> Shatrat, I'm gonna unplug it right now. :) Tell you how it goes in a bit! :D
[07:52] <breedarg> bios?
[07:52] <wellstevesays> set
[07:52] <ikonia> wellstevesays: not setup in bios, bad cd, unsupported drive
[07:52] <huascar80> wellstevesays: bios settings?
[07:52] <|Shadow|> hmm, i just downloaded ubuntu, burned it to the iso and ubuntu boots from cd fine
[07:52] <SushiP> IdleOne: Ignorance is a universal thing.
[07:52] <breedarg> right boot cd?
[07:52] <|Shadow|> when i go to install it, it gets to 15% and freeze
[07:52] <IdleOne> SushiP: indeed
[07:52] <wellstevesays> Ikonia
[07:52] <ikonia> what
[07:53] <wellstevesays> Mean I need new CD Drive?
[07:53] <ikonia> wellstevesays: don't know
[07:53] <ikonia> wellstevesays: sounds like either a bad cd or a hardware error/config problem
[07:53] <pbureau> |Shadow|- I had that problem, reboot and do the test on the image from the menu... mine failed, I reburned it again and it worked
[07:53] <|Shadow|> pbureau ok thanks i'll try that
[07:53] <wellstevesays> I've also tried that prototype Ubuntu install.exe
[07:53] <ikonia> wellstevesays: I wouldn't bother with that
[07:54] <morpheus74> I installed the openssh package on Edge, and I'm able to connect from my XP home computer to Edge using Putty.  However, I canot access Edge outside of my home (i.e. from the office).  Any ideas?
[07:54] <ikonia> morpheus74: networking ? no incoming nat or portforwarding
[07:54] <mr_daniel> I am using ubuntu edgy and I have a canon PIXMA iP5200 R printer
[07:55] <mr_daniel> I have no linux-drivers for my canon-printer
[07:55] <shatrat> wellstevesays, there are ways to install from USB disk, or boot from network, but if your PC is having problems even booting from CD I dont know how likely those are.  Maybe a boot floppy with grub on it?
[07:55] <ikonia> mr_daniel: linux driver + cannon are rare
[07:55] <IdleOne> mr_daniel: then you are SOL canon and linux dont work ( canon's fault )
[07:55] <mr_daniel> so I need to start my vmware-windows everytime to print some file
[07:55] <TokenBad> ikonia he says command not found
[07:55] <morpheus74> ikonia, I'm using a router at home, does that make any difference?
[07:55] <poningru> wellstevesays: whats the prob?
[07:55] <wellstevesays> Hm?
[07:55] <Keith_S> Morning.
[07:55] <wellstevesays> Tried everything, my other computer = garbage
[07:55] <ikonia> morpheus74: no - you still need either natting or port forwarding and a firewall open on the router for ssh
[07:55] <mr_daniel> is there any solution to print from my linux-dekstop to my canon-printer ?
[07:55] <IdleOne> mr_daniel: or by a supported printer
[07:56] <IdleOne> !print | mr_daniel
[07:56] <ubotu> mr_daniel: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[07:56] <TokenBad> ikonia so if the X command isn't found...how would he install it?
[07:56] <ikonia> TokenBad: apt-get install xserver-xorg
[07:56] <TokenBad> answered already
[07:56] <TokenBad> heheh
[07:56] <ikonia> mr_daniel: not really
[07:56] <mr_daniel> yeah, I know that CUPS ist the standard fr printing for linux
[07:56] <mr_daniel> but I am searching for a workaround
[07:56] <ikonia> mr_daniel: no drivers = tough luck
[07:57] <mr_daniel> I don't know: is it possible to use windows-server for this
[07:57] <shatrat> mr_daniel, check linuxprinting.org, but I think youll have trouble.  Canon doesnt care much about its customers.  there are ltos of inexpensive HP printers with great support though
[07:57] <pbureau> mr_daniel-  opena  browser and enter this -> http://localhost:631/  works like a charm, click on printers and add it in
[07:57] <ikonia> mr_daniel: if there are window drivers - yes
[07:57] <ikonia> pbureau: not without cannon support it doesn't
[07:57] <IdleOne> mr_daniel: email canon and demand they procide linux drivers for the printer you spent good money on ...
[07:57] <shatrat> mr_daniel, if you have another windows box that is always on you could put it on that and share it.
[07:57] <Jowi> mr_daniel, http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-PIXMA_iP5000
[07:57] <mr_daniel> the config can be:  ubuntu-computer <-> windows(-printer-)server <-> canon-printer
[07:57] <mr_daniel> is a such thing  possible
[07:57] <gareth0> is there a pci wireless card i can buy that will just work without any config?
[07:57] <ikonia> mr_daniel: yes
[07:57] <mr_daniel> the only thing is: the windows-server need to understand my ubuntu-computer
[07:58] <ikonia> !hcl >gareth0
[07:58] <hjmills> how do i make ls sort numbered files logically so it doesn't go 1, 10, 11 etc but instead is 1, 2, 3 etc
[07:58] <ikonia> mr_daniel: its just s netbios share
[07:58] <morpheus74> ikonia, I'm new to all this, but I tried opening a port, but could not connect.  Is there 2 different connections that take place (one inhouse or inside the network, and one out of house or outside the home network)?
[07:58] <NevroPus> I need some help. The space on top where network-manager and other running programs lay are gone. I accidentely klicked on: "remove from panel" and I can't find it in the list in "add to panel"
[07:58] <shatrat> mr_daniel, sure that would work.  you can use windows file and printer sharing in linux using samba
[07:58] <ikonia> morpheus74: from the outside world you will need to either have network port forwarding or a natted ip addres
[07:58] <Pici> hjmills : ls | sort -n
[07:59] <hjmills> Pici thanks
[07:59] <morpheus74> ikonia, By doing port forwarding r natted ip, am I more open to attacks?
[07:59] <ikonia> yes
[07:59] <mr_daniel> ok, thx u all, I will read something about netbios, samba and so on ... thx :)
[07:59] <breedarg> is it necessary to use a firewall or an antivirus with linux?
[07:59] <LjL> breedarg: no
[07:59] <hjmills> Pici, how would i go about piping the output to mencoder as a list of files on the end?
[08:00] <xFlux> .....
[08:00] <LjL> breedarg: you can if you want to
[08:00] <HymnToLife> breedarg, you already use a firewall
[08:00] <ikonia> breedarg: personal choice
[08:00] <xFlux> Its always necessary to have an AV and a firewall
[08:00] <LjL> Ubotu, tell breedarg about virus | breedarg, see the private message from Ubotu
[08:00] <LjL> Ubotu, tell breedarg about firewall | breedarg, see the private message from Ubotu
[08:00] <altf2o> firewalls i usually think are a good idea.
[08:00] <LjL> xFlux: no
[08:00] <xFlux> whether it's linux, windows or mac
[08:00] <LjL> HymnToLife: no
[08:00] <ikonia> xFlux: not all the time
[08:00] <morpheus74> ikonia, so how can i stay secure and still allow myself to acces my home computer from work?
[08:00] <breedarg> ok but it is less likely to be attacked?
[08:00] <HymnToLife> LjL, so what is iptables ? a porn viewer ?
[08:00] <Pici> hjmills : I'm not familiar with mencoder's syntax, sorry
[08:00] <xFlux> LjL:  If I told my boss that we can axe our AV software under nix, I wouldn't have a job
[08:00] <ikonia> morpheus74: firewalls, secure configs,
[08:00] <Jowi> morpheus74, basicly enter the router config and add a portforward rule (also called virtual server in some routers) for port 80 to the computer running the ssh server. I found that setting the port to another one than the default 22 I rarely recieve hack attempts.
[08:00] <dimeo> morpheus.. ssh
[08:00] <ikonia> breedarg: no
[08:01] <metroman> Could someone please give me a direct link to the alternate install CD of 6.10?
[08:01] <LjL> HymnToLife: surely not a firewall. it's a front-end to netfilter. look up firewall
[08:01] <thomas_> hi all
[08:01] <dimeo> possibly freenx too
[08:01] <hjmills> Pici, the last argument for the command i am running is a list of the jpeg files produced by the ls | sort -n command
[08:01] <ikonia> metroman: its on the ubntu.com site
[08:01] <ikonia> ubuntu.com
[08:01] <LjL> breedarg: it's less likely to be attacked by viruses, for sure. it also doesn't have many services running by default at all
[08:01] <breedarg> ok thkx
[08:01] <SmAcKaSs> I'm working with EDGY and just trying to get my USB flash stick to act as the cdrom drive.... to fool the installer. any help around?
[08:01] <thomas_> i have problems with my flash plugin and the sound playback
[08:01] <breedarg> okk ak
[08:01] <dimeo> morpheus... I had to do a reverse ssh from work though... they didn't allow tunnels in
[08:01] <breedarg> tkx
[08:01] <breedarg> thx
[08:01] <LjL> xFlux: which is quite different from saying that such software is always needed. is that software that check for *linux* or *windows* viruses anyway?
[08:01] <morpheus74> dimeo, What do you mean by reverse ssh?
[08:01] <NevroPus> I need some help. The space on top where network-manager and other running programs lay are gone. I accidentely klicked on: "remove from panel" and I can't find it in the list in "add to panel". How can I get it back?
[08:02] <thomas_> any clue how to fix this
[08:02] <Pici> hjmills : you could do something like: myprogram -argument $(ls | sort -n) , that will put all the results of the ls into the $( )
[08:02] <metroman> Unfortunately, I can't find it.
[08:02] <xFlux> LjL:  There are Linux worms out there in "Real World".   Not everything is safe and sound
[08:02] <xFlux> Iv'e had 2 in the past month
[08:02] <hjmills> Pici, ok - thanks :D
[08:02] <thomas_> flahs
[08:02] <dimeo> morpheus.. I run PUTTY on my windoz machine at work.. and basically log into my laptop at home which is running a ssh server

[08:02] <Daynah> Shatrat, I could kiss you, but you're not in my room. It did said "missing operating system" (previously it said nothing) and there was no clicking so I think I know where to move from here. The new hard drive is the one that I Hitachti when I had to return one under warrenty! I never would have thought to check it... I put it in two weeks ago! No more Hitachi >< Thanks a lot :)
[08:02] <shatrat> you should cook your food more thoroughly
[08:02] <metroman> Oh, never mind. I found the thing.
[08:02] <ubotu> Flash 9 (Final release) is now available for dapper-backports and edgy-backports. See !backports and !flash
[08:02] <Jowi> NevroPus, it is called "notification area"
[08:02] <TokenBad> ikonia get error after installing that and typing sudo X
[08:02] <SmAcKaSs> I'm working with EDGY and just trying to get my USB flash stick to act as the cdrom drive.... to fool the installer. any help around?
[08:03] <xFlux> granted it's not as much as 100 that hit our windows servers, but its still there
[08:03] <ikonia> TokenBad: thats because its not configured
[08:03] <dimeo> at work I can access files stored at home
[08:03] <shatrat> Daynah, hitachi has a bad reputation for hard drives.
[08:03] <ikonia> TokenBad: have a quick look on the ubuntu wiki on "xorg
[08:03] <ikonia> xorg"
[08:03] <TokenBad> ikonia its something about fonts
[08:03] <metroman> What should I do if my Ubuntu installation keeps on freezing?
[08:03] <LjL> xFlux: i still don't see the "always necessary" part
[08:03] <dimeo> at home I can use my work computer with VNC as long as the ssh login stays up
[08:04] <xFlux> LjL:  Security is an "always necessary"....Look for the future, and you can say you don't have to worry
[08:04] <Davo818> how can i do apt-get for asterisk?
[08:04] <wellstevesays> hmm I got my computer to read my Windows CD
[08:04] <Daynah> Shatrat, we didn't know it when we bought it... and it was under warrenty so we just got the new one... I don't think it's worth the trouble to get a third hitachi. Good bye torrents of Doctor Who. Hello stable computer! :D
[08:04] <wellstevesays> but not Ubuntu :(
[08:04] <morpheus74> dimeo, being my ip is dynamic, do I have to do anythign special with the ip address?
[08:04] <dimeo> try doing a google of
[08:04] <Jowi> Davo818, "apt-cache search name"
[08:04] <ubuntu> ihi
[08:04] <Davo818> Jowi thnx
[08:04] <Jowi> Davo818, then "sudo apt-get install packagename"
[08:05] <LjL> xFlux: i base my security upon only using gpg signed packages from the official repositories, not from downloading random stuff and hoping some half-working antivirus software catches the worm
[08:05] <dimeo> dynamic IP name servers:  I use bounceme.net
[08:05] <ikonia> morpheus74: you have to know your ip address
[08:05] <fr500> !nfs
[08:05] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[08:05] <ubuntu> i cant get onto my ubuntu
[08:05] <xFlux> LjL:  You are also more experienced than most people whom migrate from windows or mac
[08:05] <SmAcKaSs> I'm working with EDGY and just trying to get my USB flash stick to act as the cdrom drive.... to fool the installer. any help around?
[08:05] <morpheus74> I went to http://whatismyip.com and it gives me my ip.  However, I think this maybe the ip of the router?
[08:05] <dimeo> you can get a package on ubuntu that always updates your new dynamic ip to your registered domain name
[08:05] <ubuntu> when i turn my computer it say error 15
[08:06] <ubuntu> can any one help
[08:06] <bzaks> I just installed tidy for php, can anyone help me get it working?
[08:06] <LjL> xFlux: as i said, i was debating the "always necessary"
[08:06] <dimeo> Morpheus:  that works alright unless your IP changes... with my router that could be several times a week
[08:06] <SmAcKaSs> ubuntu: did you google it?
[08:06] <LjL> xFlux: although, to be honest, i don't think i've ever seen a positive report of a virus on this channel
[08:06] <bzaks> I just installed tidy for php can anyone help me get it working?
[08:06] <xFlux> LjL:  Thats kind of like saying "I dont set a screensaver password because no one is ever around it"
[08:06] <dimeo> Its a pain if your router leases a new IP while you're at work...
[08:06] <molinito> hello
[08:06] <thomas_> has nobody the same problem with flash 9.0 and sound
[08:06] <LjL> xFlux: rootkit-like things, yes (well, that's still if you do crazy things on your system of course, that no newbie should do)
[08:06] <ubuntu> dont know what happene to it
[08:07] <LjL> xFlux: no, it's like saying "i don't set a screensaver password because the door is locked and i'm always there watching"
[08:07] <bauer77> you can password protect your screensaver ? j/k
[08:07] <ikonia> molinito: what ?
[08:07] <ikonia> bauer77: yes
[08:07] <xFlux> lol
[08:07] <bauer77> I was being sarcastic ikonia
[08:07] <ikonia> oh
[08:07] <IdleOne> ubuntu: you need to be more specific..what is happening when you try to boot ubuntu
[08:07] <tbf> ...let's hope I've got my apt-pinning right now
[08:08] <Davo818> i cant even find webmin ?
[08:08] <dimeo> bauer.. if your pc is unused for a couple minutes you can have it require a password...
[08:08] <molinito> i have a problem with linux instalation
[08:08] <ikonia> Davo818: webmin has been removed I think
[08:08] <ikonia> molinito: what is the problem
[08:08] <SmAcKaSs> ubuntu: "I've run into Grub #15 before. It means "file not found" basically saying it couldn't find the kernel image"
[08:08] <bauer77> we used to set the click speed of the mouse on windows as high as it would go so nobody could double click and icon, that is when its good to password protect your desktop..lol
[08:08] <dimeo> bauer: almost as important as chaining down your laptop
[08:08] <xFlux> LjL:  No sense in debating with you.......  Dont look for a nix job anytime soon though, your boss would laugh at that thought :)
[08:08] <Davo818> ikonia any reason why?
[08:08] <molinito> Who is "Could not find Kernel image: rocinante boot:"
[08:08] <ubuntu> its just when i turn it on it doesnt allow me to go further it hen the start as it says error 15t
[08:08] <xFlux> and thats not to be discriminating or a one up on you either
[08:08] <bauer77> dimeo:  I agree
[08:09] <ikonia> Davo818: its poor, and insecure
[08:09] <bauer77> the only secure computer is the one thats turned off..hehe
[08:09] <xFlux> bauer77 has the right idea :)
[08:09] <bzaks> can anyone help me figure out how to get PHP to run the Tidy extension I installed with the package manager?
[08:09] <Ndut2> hi guys

[08:09] <molinito> ikonia?
[08:09] <SmAcKaSs> I'm working with EDGY and just trying to get my USB flash stick to act as the cdrom drive.... to fool the installer. any help around?
[08:09] <ikonia> ehsy ?
[08:09] <SmAcKaSs> anyone?
[08:09] <ikonia> SmAcKaSs: not really
[08:10] <bauer77> SmAcKaSs: still having problems huh, wish I had the brains to help
[08:10] <SmAcKaSs> ikonia: well ok :)
[08:10] <ubuntu> its doesnt seem to go to the ubuntu login page
[08:10] <molinito> :(
[08:10] <bauer77> I still dont understand why you cant just run the boot from your usb, since you said your bios supports booting from usb??
[08:10] <Pici> http://kotisivu.suomi.net/oulupophistory/images/2007/Image63.jpg
[08:10] <SmAcKaSs> bauer77: if its comforting, i refuse to give up, cause i'm so close
[08:11] <Pici> oops
[08:11] <ikonia> bauer77: because thats not how the cd process works
[08:11] <killaz> today I installed a dual boot Ubuntu 6.06.... because that was the CD I had at that moment, but I was wondering what are the imptovements in 6.10?
[08:11] <molinito> what happend to my pc? in the instalation: Could not find kernel image
[08:11] <ikonia> molinito: it can't find the kernel image, most probably your cd is corrupt
[08:11] <killaz> is it worth it to update it to 6.10?
[08:11] <SmAcKaSs> Bauer77: well Ubuntu refuses to see the USB AS the cdrom drive
[08:11] <bauer77> stability I am sure killaz?
[08:11] <ikonia> or your running the wrong cd image
[08:11] <ikonia> SmAcKaSs: rightly so
[08:11] <molinito> corrupt?
[08:11] <killaz> bauer77: stability?
[08:11] <ikonia> molinito: what cd image are you using
[08:11] <SmAcKaSs> Bauer77: its mounted there, but it still isn't convinced... still tells me that it can't find a comon cdrom drive
[08:11] <Outoff> Hi, I have a quick question: I want to try the "install ubuntu from windows" prototype, and I was wondering, if I manually have to create a Partition, or just have the free space Unallocated?
[08:12] <LjL> killaz: you don't gain money by doing it. so whether it's worth depends on your needs. you can look at the implemented specs for edgy
[08:12] <cokeslut> hi
[08:12] <ikonia> SmAcKaSs: because it will reference udev names
[08:12] <LjL> !edgy >killaz
[08:12] <shpond> Hi
[08:12] <molinito> rocinante. Is a version spanish of linux. it name is MOLINUX
[08:12] <IdleOne> killaz: worth it? well if you need to but if your running dapper you know it will be supported for the next 3 yrs maybe 4 yrs. I upgraded and it went smooth except for having to sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server
[08:13] <ikonia> molinito: thats not ubntu - please go find support for molinux
[08:13] <SmAcKaSs> ikonia: see i'm only a newb still. so i'm just looking for someone who knows to think it though with me. i kno nothing about how ubuntu works with hardware yet
[08:13] <bzaks> can anyone help me figure out how to get PHP to run the Tidy extension I installed with the package manager?
[08:13] <ikonia> SmAcKaSs: thats why I'm telling you
[08:13] <molinito> no, my cd no is corrupt. in a pc yes instalation and the second pc no instalation
[08:13] <slyfox> Please help as no one in Kubuntu can help. maybe someone knows something here:
[08:13] <ikonia> molinito: are you running ubuntu
[08:13] <bzaks> can anyone help me figure out how to get PHP to run the Tidy extension I installed with the package manager?
[08:13] <SmAcKaSs> ikonia: so your saying udev does what?
[08:13] <slyfox>  I think I need to reinstall Kubuntu and NOT update to KDE 3.5.6 Althout that may not be what have casue the problem. None of hte VOIP applicaitons work for me, skype, gizmo, Wengo, none. Skype and Gizmo have choppy sound and wengo phone gives me tiny mickey mouse voice. Help.
[08:13] <molinito> thank you
[08:13] <molinito> ok
[08:13] <Pici> molinito : what we're saying is if you arent running ubuntu, we cant help you
[08:13] <ikonia> the installer will reference device names from udev
[08:13] <slyfox> Anyone knows anythng about ALSA ?
[08:13] <killaz> IdleOne: ok worth it is maybe not the right word, but still IdleOne did you see an improvement?
[08:13] <bzaks> can anyone help me figure out how to get PHP to run the Tidy extension I installed with the package manager?
[08:14] <ikonia> therefore your usb stick will never be seen as a cdrom
[08:14] <ubuntu> does anyone know how to get away from error 15
[08:14] <breedarg> molinito: si no estas usando ubuntu no te podemos ayudar
[08:14] <ikonia> error 15 where ?
[08:14] <patbam> hi, before i do it, is there any reason to be afraid of installing "alien" and using it to convert rpms, and installing those with dpkg?
[08:14] <LjL> patbam: yes
[08:14] <ikonia> patbam: I think its dirty
[08:14] <ikonia> and unwise
[08:14] <patbam> hmm.
[08:14] <LjL> patbam: just as there is a reason to be afraid to install packages from Debian. they can break things.
[08:14] <patbam> i'm trying to install a scanner driver
[08:14] <bzaks> can anyone help me figure out how to get PHP to run the Tidy extension I installed with the package manager?
[08:14] <IdleOne> killaz: I did the upgrade because I had nothing to lose and figured why not. improvement in what sense ? does the pc run faster? not really
[08:14] <LjL> patbam: what scanner?
[08:15] <patbam> http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=86061 i found it here
[08:15] <patbam> vt100
[08:15] <hjmills> hwo do i remove the last char from a string and add \n in bash?
[08:15] <cokeslut> not sure
[08:15] <ikonia> bzaks: I can tell you to stop asking ever 30 seconds
[08:15] <patbam> epson v100 , sorry
[08:15] <gareth0> is this good? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PCI-wireless-802-11g-WiFi-adapter-Antenna-XP64-Linux_W0QQitemZ270083186855QQihZ017QQcategoryZ45001QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
[08:15] <bzaks> ikonia: well, it does get people's attention! ;)
[08:15] <ikonia> !hcl >gareth0
[08:15] <patbam> heh, not a vt100. a vt100 scanner would scan everything green on black :P
[08:15] <LjL> patbam: epson is supported by the epson and epkowa SANE drivers, i don't think you need iscan
[08:15] <Kanafani> does anybody know what's wrong with Gaim, if the timestamps suddently have disappeared? :/
[08:15] <ubuntu> just after you turn the computer on
[08:15] <ikonia> bzaks: no - it gets you banned or put on ignore
[08:15] <bzaks> drag.
[08:15] <LjL> Ubotu, tell patbam about libsane-extras | patbam, see the private message from Ubotu
[08:15] <_spaz> hello
[08:16] <patbam> LjL: i just installed libsane-extras
[08:16] <IdleOne> Kanafani: whats wrong with gaim is it supposed to be emulating aim wich is just wrong because AOL is evil
[08:16] <Kanafani> what's even more evil is msn.. :/
[08:16] <dimeo> Anyone have a new favourite ubuntu package of the day?
[08:16] <ikonia> no
[08:16] <killaz> I'll just read the release notes.....
[08:16] <patbam> i still get "no devices available" when i run xsane
[08:16] <_spaz> how can i merge two ext3 partitions without deleting data?
[08:16] <ikonia> _spaz: create a new partition move the data on it, delete the old 2
[08:17] <patbam> however, the device does show up in lsusb, fwiw
[08:17] <NET||abuse> hey guys.. i'm using edgy here, it maybe true in dapper also i don't know, but anyone know why i can't add new icons to the Applications menu? i added Zend Studio but it doesn't show up..??
[08:17] <LjL> patbam: might need to be tweaked a little. i need to go now, however. but make sure epkowa is enabled in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf, and epson is disabled, and check also epkowa.conf to make sure USB is set correctly, if that's a USB scanner
[08:17] <killaz> I'm just wondering what the difference is between the two
[08:17] <patbam> LjL: thanks for your hints
[08:17] <Ferret> _spaz: does the total free space n both of them exceed the size of the smallest one?
[08:17] <shatrat> gareth0, http://www.linuxemporium.co.uk/products/wireless/  according to that it should work in ubuntu
[08:17] <_spaz> uh...
[08:17] <_spaz> i dunno
[08:17] <_spaz> i know one of them is empty
[08:17] <ikonia> shatrat: I've give him the hcl list - he's just too lazy to look
[08:18] <_spaz> lemme rephrase
[08:18] <gareth0> thnx shatrat
[08:18] <_spaz> how do i resize a partition
[08:18] <Ferret> _spaz: So delete the empty one and use gparted to make the one with data larger
[08:18] <shatrat> ikonia, hohoho, I get a thnx
[08:18] <kelsin> _spaz: then you want to delete the parttion of the empty one and then resize the first to be bigger, look into gparted
[08:18] <_spaz> i'll just delete the empty one
[08:18] <ikonia> _spaz: unless your using lvm - you don't
[08:18] <kelsin> _spaz: yeah what Ferret said :)
[08:18] <_spaz> k
[08:18] <_spaz> thanks
[08:18] <Ferret> ikonia: Lies!
[08:18] <ikonia> nope
[08:18] <linkit> denise
[08:18] <patbam> epkowa is part of libsane-extras, how can i figure out where it was installed? (i guess it's called epkowa.conf ? )
[08:18] <linkit> se  ci sei rispondi
[08:18] <linkit> :D
[08:19] <Ferret> ikonia: Um, on the grounds I've done it five or six times, the most recent of which was last week...
[08:19] <IdleOne> !it
[08:19] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[08:19] <Ferret> ikonia: Lies!
[08:19] <ikonia> nope
[08:19] <ikonia> fact
[08:19] <ikonia> not advisable
[08:19] <kestaz> how to connect ubuntu and window with bluetooth ?
[08:19] <kestaz> windows*
[08:19] <ikonia> kestaz: you need a bluetooth dongle with networking support
[08:20] <Outoff> Hi, I have a quick question: I want to try the "install ubuntu from windows" prototype, and I was wondering, if I manually have to create a Partition, or just have the free space Unallocated? (sorry for writing it again...)
[08:20] <|PiP|> what channel is good for learning shell scripting
[08:20] <warkruid> kestaz: bluez tools
[08:20] <killaz> anothger question anyone in here used fs-driver ?
[08:20] <warkruid> kestaz: bluez.sourceforge.net
[08:21] <ikonia> Outoff: its a prototype - not sure how it works
[08:21] <Ferret> |PiP|: None.  Use web pages (faqs, wikis, guides) and read existing scripts
[08:21] <ikonia> Outoff: use the ubuntu boot cd
[08:21] <ikonia> the installer.exe is the most pointless thing
[08:21] <kestaz> warkruid, i know there's bluetooth howto, but i want find something ubuntu specific ;)
[08:21] <gareth0> if i use ubuntu, do i have to use gnome?
[08:21] <Pici> |PiP| : http://en.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/
[08:21] <Outoff> well, i got ubuntu on already, but wanna try the installer.exe :p
[08:21] <shatrat> gareth0, no, you can use kubuntu, xubuntu, or any other wm
[08:21] <ikonia> gareth0: no, do some reading on ubuntu.com to learn the basics of what you can / can't do
[08:21] <Ferret> |PiP|: There should be some good guides in to the topic of the bash channel on freenode, try /topic #bash
[08:21] <belkin> its the entry in /etc/hosts " also required  ? <IP_ADDRESS>   or <IP_ADDRESS>    localhost.localdomain   localhost       yourmachine.example.com    should do ?
[08:21] <gareth0> k
[08:21] <ikonia> Outoff: pointless
[08:22] <kestaz> gareth0, no you can use kde, xfce, icewm and everything else
[08:22] <warkruid> keztaz: sorry don't know ubunu specifics.
[08:22] <ikonia> belkin: yes
[08:22] <Outoff> ikonia, sure it is, but gonna try it anyways
[08:22] <belkin> yes what ? ikonia
[08:22] <ikonia> yes the entry in /etc/hosts is needed
[08:22] <belkin> ikonia whats that required  for ?
[08:22] <belkin> why both ?
[08:22] <ikonia> referencing internal coms
[08:22] <belkin> localhost.localdomain   localhost       yourmachine.example.com    should do
[08:22] <belkin> ok
[08:23] <warkruid> kestaz: I usually compile from source. Works for me
[08:23] <kaso> every so-often my sound dies on me, i think it may be related to World of warcraft (via wine) or perhaps flash videos in firefox, but after a certain point i hear nothing till i restart gnome, any ideas anyone?
[08:24] <kelsin> kaso: what sound driver are you using with wine, and do you have flash 7 or 9?
[08:24] <kelsin> kaso: I run wow with the alsa driver just fine, so if you're using the oss one I would suggest to try that
[08:24] <warkruid> kestaz: pm?
[08:24] <kestaz> private message
[08:24] <EniGm0> kaso: i heard someone had the same problem with flash videos
[08:24] <Ferret> kaso: I get that with firefox+flash.  I run mpd all the time, and when the sound stops I kill firefox and the music starts up again straight away.  Talked to some other people and they have the same
[08:25] <Ferret> kaso: No idea how to fix it though, it hasn't really bothered me that much to try.
[08:25] <kaso> hmm
[08:25] <kaso> im using flash 9, and i think the OSS driver is one in wine
[08:25] <warkruid> kestaz: yes, what channel/medium?
[08:25] <christiane> Hello. When I copy text (from Konqueror) and paste it into OpenOffice all the utf8 chars are displayed as if they were 8bit. How to prevent that?
[08:25] <kelsin> kaso: yeah my only guess is the alsa thing
[08:26] <Ferret> kaso: I run firefox through aoss and mpd is proper alsa. c.c
[08:26] <kestaz> warkruid, so if share the internet from windows to linux so I need to set listen role tu PANU ?
[08:26] <Ferret> kaso: But I think flash circumvents aoss and so doesn't get dmix'd properly.  It's all very silly
[08:26] <gmachine24> is there somewhere to dl
[08:26] <gmachine24> automatix other than the automatix web site which appears to be down
[08:27] <Ferret> gmachine24: Good riddance. :)
[08:27] <gmachine24> lol ok
[08:27] <alberto> HI!
[08:27] <|Shadow|> dam :(
[08:27] <kaso> hmm, ill play around a bit in wine.
[08:27] <|Shadow|> re burned my ubuntu disc, still crashes at 15%
[08:27] <alberto> someone usues beryl?
[08:28] <shatrat> alberto, #ubuntu-xgl
[08:28] <gmachine24> in that case i am looking for the software called gnome baker or something similar for burning cds but i can't find the program any hints do i have the name wrong
[08:28] <slyfox> Guys, how many paritions do you have 2 or 3? /root and /home or /root /home and another parition for all your files? As I understand /home is something not safe to put your files in incase you decide to reinstall OS later on .. ?
[08:28] <shatrat> gmachine24, its gnomebacker, maybe you need to enable Universe repositories?
[08:28] <killaz> Is it a good idea to use fs-driver to share data between XP and Linux?
[08:28] <fdoving> slyfox: why /root? - i have one big, / + swap.
[08:28] <gmachine24> backer.... not baker is this correct
[08:28] <Ferret> gnomebaker
[08:29] <gmachine24> as i thought
[08:29] <metroman> What's the difference between a primary, logical, and extended partition?
[08:29] <apokryphos> having a seperate /home is also a good idea, a lot of the time
[08:29] <Ferret> fdoving: Eww, you have a swap partition. ;p
[08:29] <|Shadow|> im running the disc checker, and it says some of the files have a mismatch
[08:29] <Ferret> One big fat / ftw
[08:29] <gmachine24> metro you can look that stuff up on the net
[08:29] <slyfox> fdoving: but what if you want to reinstall OS, that means that you will need to back up all your needed files to a sepeara parition or a hard drive, becaue you will want to clen all those settings and otehr stuff for a OS reinstall ?
[08:30] <Ferret> slyfox: omg you mean I'd have to use the cp command?  Onoes
[08:30] <fdoving> slyfox: sure, i don't do re-installs, and i do complete backups daily.
[08:30] <gmachine24> to whoever has ubuntu freeze during install -- i had same problem and i had to reburn the install disc from the same iso using a slower write speed..... you might try this
[08:30] <Ferret> |Shadow|: ^^
[08:31] <Ferret> Or better, md5sum the .iso file to see if you need to re-download it
[08:31] <gmachine24> ok off to find gnomebaker thank you all cheers
[08:31] <|Shadow|> sigh, time to download the iso again i guess.
[08:31] <|Shadow|> yawn, 16 hours.
[08:31] <slyfox> Ferret: But that is what I am sayin for the cp command, it has to go somewhere, wher to ? Anotehr external hard drive or do you have a seperate partition on your Ubuntu install ? I mena "/" "/swap" "/home" and "/another parition"
[08:31] <NET||abuse> hi guys.. i'm having issues with Alacarte,, it wont' add anything new to my menus.. i have Zend Studio installed, trying to add a link in the programming menu, just wont,, i point at the startup script for ZDE, but it just won't create a menu item at all
[08:32] <NET||abuse> anyone know why this is the case with Alacarte?
[08:32] <NET||abuse> i am running it as myself, not root,
[08:32] <pbureau> |Shadow|- dont redownload it (unless you deleted the is) just burn another cd
[08:32] <NET||abuse> i find that when you uncheck a predefined item, it does show up.
[08:32] <|Shadow|> pbureau i just did that
[08:32] <NET||abuse> but defining a new item like i am now,,, just doesn't want to perform any kind of customisation to the menu at all
[08:32] <|Shadow|> 1st disc gets to 15%, freezes. burned it again, second disc also gets to 15% and freezes
[08:33] <pbureau> |Shadow|-  does the cheksum match ?
[08:33] <|Shadow|> Checksum finished, 5 checksums failed.
[08:33] <|Shadow|> :(
[08:33] <ProN00b> how can i disable bug buddy ?
[08:33] <pbureau> |Shadow|- oh.... yep re-download ...
[08:33] <IdleOne> |Shadow|: you on dialup?

[08:35] <|Shadow|> and they told me i had to take apart my phone socket or some stuff, and if it didn't work call them back
[08:36] <|Shadow|> so i did that, same problem. called them back and they told me that if they sent me a engineer, and the engineer decided that i hadn't done the tests they told me to do they would charge me 100
[08:36] <|Shadow|> :/
[08:36] <pbureau> |Shadow|-  the joy of copper line speeds... another reason why I have a Wireless ISP
[08:36] <|Shadow|> you can get wireless in england?

[08:37] <|Shadow|> took 4 hours to do that speed test, lol.
[08:37] <patbam> how come there's no 12-hour option in the clock, heh
[08:38] <|Shadow|> hmm, this isn't good either.
[08:38] <shatrat> patbam, the clock in my gnome-panel is running 12 hours
[08:39] <|Shadow|> after the ubuntu linux install failed, it seems to have messed up my GRUB too :(
[08:39] <Renu_> i installed azureus on edubuntu but i can not launch it
[08:39] <apokryphos> Renu_: what is the error?
[08:39] <Renu_> if i hit the frog nothing is happening
[08:40] <tugrik> excuse me just jumping right in... with ubuntu 6.06 and firefox <IP_ADDRESS>, sporadically when I click on the link the mouse goes crazy, it'll move randomly, maybe click on another link, or change workspaces, or go to the top right and hide, or bottom right and open the wastebasket... any idea what might be going on?
[08:40] <Renu_> i have edubuntu5.10
[08:40] <patbam> shatrat: huh, weird. is there an option for 24 vs 12 hour time if you right click the time & choose preferences? i just see 24 hr, utc, and internet time
[08:40] <shatrat> tugrik, one of your friends is connected to your box through VNC without telling you?
[08:41] <shatrat> patbam, right click it and its in the preferences
[08:41] <patbam> shatrat: i guess i have this bug https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/langpack-locales/+bug/34262
[08:41] <tugrik> heh shatrat, no, no remote users on the box.  And it definitely only happens when i'm using firefox
[08:41] <sepp> eso es un cagao
[08:41] <|Shadow|> can anyone help me with this? i tried to install ubuntu (not on my windows drive) and now i cant load up windows anymore

[08:42] <tugrik> yeah, after looking at the faqs and forums and not seeing anything i guessed i was being a little optimistic
[08:42] <tugrik> i'll play around a little, see how I get on....

[08:43] <zbadone> Im running Ubutun 6.1 as a samba/cups server for my printers, it's not working any more? any ideas?
[08:43] <Renu_> hoe i check it in a terminal?
[08:44] <zbadone> cups??
[08:44] <Renu_> apokryphos:how i check it in a terminal?
[08:44] <apokryphos> Renu_: type azureus in the terminal
[08:44] <zbadone> something about the backend not working?
[08:45] <Renu_> command not found
[08:45] <Renu_> i type sudo azureus
[08:45] <apokryphos> Renu_: why would you need to run it with sudo?
[08:45] <IdleOne> |Shadow|: does dcc go any faster for you or same speeds?
[08:45] <apokryphos> do not do that, especially for graphical applications
[08:45] <Renu_> same without sudo
[08:45] <apokryphos> Renu_: dpkg -L azureus|grep bin ?
[08:45] <zbadone> anyboduy having troubles with cups and the backend not working?
[08:46] <zbadone> either form USB or Para printers?
[08:46] <shatrat> zbadone, can you still print locally?
[08:46] <zbadone> no
[08:46] <pbureau> zbadone- open a browser and enter http://localhost:631/ and see whats up
[08:46] <zbadone> I have done that, I install the printers but it fails with the backend
[08:47] <pbureau> zbadone- not a cannon is it ?
[08:47] <zbadone> nomego, both are HP
[08:47] <zbadone> I had them working before but I think after an upgrade they stopped working
[08:47] <Renu_> it said that is not installed
[08:48] <zbadone> no they are installed, but it says the backend failed
[08:48] <wikiadm> anybody ever setup sympa?
[08:48] <zbadone> I look in /usr/lib/cups/backend and run each of the file, usb, para
[08:49] <andriijas> i really need a noobie guide on how to setup NAT on ubuntu, please
[08:49] <hydoskee> hi, my machine can ping numerical ip addresses, and resolve anything I put into the "host" command to an ip address, but I can't visit websites or ping website names - what's the missing piece here?
[08:49] <andriijas> i cant get iptables to work properly
[08:49] <pbureau> hydoskee- dns
[08:49] <pate4ever> hi
[08:49] <hydoskee> pbureau- I know, but it's clearly working because the 'host' command is working, so how do I get it to resolve between the two
[08:49] <hydoskee> pbureau - it's a desktop machine, not a server
[08:49] <minimec> hydoskee: Wil need to put a nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf ;)
[08:50] <pbureau> hydoskee- when you check your netwrok card setting do you see a DNS entry for your isp ? if not add it in instead of dhcp
[08:50] <jojoman02_2> anyone know how to make a deb
[08:50] <hydoskee> pbureau- I do see that
[08:51] <pbureau> <- whishes he could say what minimec said so easily...lol
[08:51] <pbureau> <- hates being french sometimes
[08:51] <hydoskee> pbureau- the dhcp/dns servers on the network are broadcast and picked up correctly
[08:51] <minimec> pbureau: THX ;)
[08:51] <pbureau> hydoskee- cat /etc/resolv.conf are there in there ?
[08:51] <hydoskee> minimec - the resolv.conf looks corect
[08:51] <hydoskee> pbureau - yes
[08:51] <pbureau> lol
[08:52] <wraith> Hi, are yee all ubuntu users?
[08:52] <pbureau> so you can ping the dns server ?
[08:52] <pate4ever> oh no i think i am probably having the same problem as hydoskee
[08:52] <hydoskee> pbureau - yes
[08:52] <IdleOne> wraith: probably not all
[08:52] <thomas_> could someone help me fix the sound problem with flash
[08:52] <hydoskee> pbureau - but only by ip, not by name
[08:52] <pbureau> wraith- nope, were all windows users trying to look smart - heres your card!
[08:52] <wraith> Ah, you guys have ran into DNS problems with ubuntu? I know how to fix that.
[08:52] <minimec> jojoman02_2: are you compile something from source? then you can use checkinstall at the place of make install.
[08:53] <minimec> hydoskee: so you have a nameserver listed there?
[08:53] <pbureau> hydoskee-  ask wraith  he just volunteered to fix it
[08:53] <hydoskee> minimec - yes, again
[08:53] <wraith> thomas, google "ubuntu guide" and click the top link, you'll find the answer in that page.
[08:53] <hydoskee> wraith - what's the fix here?
[08:53] <KDan> i'm running ubuntu edgy... why does firefox-bin regularly shoot up to 80%+ of cpu with no apparent reason for that?
[08:53] <KDan> it goes back down after a few seconds
[08:53] <minimec> jojoman02_2: you will need to install the package, I think.
[08:53] <KDan> often it happens while i'm scrolling and the scrolling hangs
[08:53] <wraith> hydoskee, is it that your box isnt setup to resolve website addresses? As in they take ages to load?
[08:54] <pbureau> KDan- joy of flash stuff
[08:54] <KDan> pbureau: it's flash related?
[08:54] <minimec> hydoskee: Try to reload the network sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[08:54] <varun> anyone find flash using up a lot of CPU with beryl/compiz ?
[08:54] <hydoskee> wraith - they don't load, the host command correctly resolves names to ip's, but it doesn't happen automatically in webpages
[08:54] <hydoskee> minimec- already done, and restarted physically too
[08:54] <varun> is there a fix to that ?
[08:54] <pbureau> KDan- I noticed it mostly when flash stuff going on web pages, but I could be wrong
[08:54] <hydoskee> minimec- that doesn't do it
[08:55] <pate4ever> hey guys, i have properly installed my wireless card but i have no idea how to set up the wireless network. Can someone guide me to a website or give me help with that?
[08:55] <minimec> hydoskee: Can you ping the nameserver?
[08:55] <wraith> You'll need to edit three places: /etc/resolv.conf, put your dns servers in there at the top) then go to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-script and comment out the firstsegement of code there
[08:55] <pbureau> pate4ever- WPA, WEP network ??
[08:55] <hydoskee> minimec- yes
[08:55] <KDan> pate4ever: there's a big section in the ubuntu help about wireless nets
[08:55] <varun> page4ever: use network-manager (apt-get install network-manager) ;-)
[08:55] <varun> it's pretty sweet
[08:55] <metroman> How do I stop Firefox from crashing on websites with Flash?
[08:55] <Jim56342> Hi guys: having a few problems getting a PCI modem to work on 6.06 - can anyone help?
[08:55] <pate4ever> varun: i will try the network-manager
[08:55] <wraith> That code is the one that alters your resolv.conf fil.
[08:55] <pate4ever> thanks!
[08:56] <minimec> hydoskee: Hmmm... How can that be?
[08:56] <varun> anybody here use beryl/compiz ??
[08:56] <hydoskee> minimec - I don't know, but I can ping the nameserver by ip address but not name
[08:56] <shatrat> varun, #ubuntu-xgl
[08:56] <gb__> hi
[08:56] <varun> gotcha
[08:56] <pate4ever> pbureau: i don't even know the difference between a WPA and a WEP
[08:56] <Tru7h> Dunno if anybody here knows anything about Knoppix, but my USB flash drive won't work in it. Works fine in WinXP and Ubuntu.
[08:56] <gb__> varun nice name
[08:56] <minimec> hydoskee: BUt we all agree in here, that you have a nameserver problem, don't we?
 google "ubuntu guide" and go to the top link, I already told you that
[08:57] <gb__> Tru7h:  hi
[08:57] <pbureau> pate4ever- then check the router settings should tell you. ;)
[08:57] <wraith> you'll find your answer there
[08:57] <gb__> Tru7h:  after connecting, open konsole
[08:57] <gb__> type fdisk -l
[08:57] <pate4ever> pbureau: okay brb
[08:57] <gb__> does it ur flash disk there?
[08:57] <varun> gb__: thanks
[08:57] <KDan> pbureau: hmm, there's no flash open and it still does it..
[08:57] <Tru7h> gb__: Nope.
[08:57] <KDan> could be a residual bit of flash of course
[08:57] <minimec> hydoskee: You are in a LAN you said?
[08:58] <hydoskee> minimec - yes
[08:58] <guhase> can someone help me figure out why sound isn't working on my system? alsamixer has the soundcard detected with mixer settings and all... but gnome, kde and apps dont see it.
[08:58] <wikiadm> anybody ever setup sympa
 go to your router homepage and set the dns servers listed there in resolv.conf, then edit the /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-script file, like I told you.
[08:59] <gb__> Tru7h:  which Ver?
[08:59] <juan> necesito ver .avi
[08:59] <gb__> guhase: mute?
[08:59] <Tru7h> gb__: I'm actually not sure which version it is. How do I check?
[08:59] <|Shadow|> lol IdleOne thanks for the offer, but it'll still go at 10kbps
[08:59] <minimec> hydoskee: I have no other idea... Does the nameserver have access through the firewall? NAmeservers use an other port, I think.
[08:59] <|Shadow|> my connection is bad.
[08:59] <guhase> gb__: no, unmuted all of them
[09:00] <IdleOne> |Shadow|: never know :/
, I had the same problems myself
[09:00] <guhase> hmm, actually running stuff with sudo lets the apps SEE the soundcard
[09:00] <|Shadow|> IdleOne http://img226.imageshack.us/my.php?image=9kbps2jp2.jpg belive me, i know :P
[09:00] <guhase> but i set a+rw to /dev/dsp already
[09:00] <guhase> so why is it happeing?
[09:00] <hydoskee> minimec- no firewall, all my DNS is here on the local network
[09:01] <__david> Is it possible to downscale an xserver?
[09:01] <Plaguez> Am I uted? lol
[09:01] <hydoskee> minimec- I've got two nameservers running (primary and backup)
[09:01] <Plaguez> Am I muted? lol
[09:01] <pate4ever> pbureau: where do you see if it's a WPA or WEP?
[09:01] <dimeo> is WPA very crackable?
[09:01] <dimeo> I undertstand that a kiddie haxxor can get around WEP
[09:01] <minimec> hydoskee: Sorry. I would like to help you, but I guess I cannot...
[09:01] <ctkroeker> ubuntu doesn't recognize my sound cards. "sudo asoundconf list" gives me nothing
[09:02] <__david> i.e. if I have an xserver running at 640x480, can I have it output at 640x320
[09:02] <xtknight> __david, type xrandr -q   to see available modes
[09:02] <Plaguez> dimeo, am I muted?
[09:02] <juan> need help
[09:02] <_Jaak_> i am using killall to shut down a non-root app, is there another way?
[09:02] <IdleOne> Plaguez: no you arent
[09:02] <adaptr> __david: simultaneously ?
[09:02] <dimeo> plaguez... not to me!
[09:02] <Plaguez> ok
[09:02] <xtknight> __david, you can also add a modeline for 640x320 if it does not exist
[09:02] <juan> i want to see avi
[09:02] <adaptr> _Jaak_: not if it's not your app
[09:02] <shatrat> _Jaak_, if is graphical you can use "xkill" and click on its window
[09:02] <Anomaly> hi - when I run glxinfo, I get: X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
[09:02] <IdleOne> !dvd > juan
[09:02] <__david> xtknight: I want to run 4 xnests within an xserver running at 1280x720
[09:02] <Anomaly> what's wrong :/
[09:03] <__david> xtknight: and the xnests will be running apps that always run at 640x480
[09:03] <Plaguez> If any one needs help with ubuntu, ask me in dials.
[09:03] <xtknight> __david, er i think so.  just execute xrandr -s <mode> to change the resolution of one of the Xs.
[09:03] <adaptr> __david: presumably you can set any combination you need
[09:03] <dimeo> no opinions for me as to if WPA is much safer than WEP or not?
[09:03] <__david> will it downscale correctly so that the displays look ~correct
[09:03] <_Jaak_> adaptr, it's my app
[09:03] <adaptr> __david: there is even an xnest to emulate mobile phones and pda screens
[09:03] <juan> yes
[09:04] <Pici> _Jaak_ : you could do kill <pid>
[09:04] <pbureau> dimeo- WPA isa different encryption yes, better unknown...
[09:04] <adaptr> _Jaak_: kill -15 pid would be "nicer"
[09:04] <__david> adaptr--does it downscale? basically, I want to run 4 instances of starcraft on a single screen
[09:04] <juan> idleone i need to see
[09:04] <IdleOne> Plaguez: this is the help channel. any help you can give to a user in here may be helpful to others alsoso why not try helping out in here :)
[09:04] <adaptr> _Jaak_: and up it to kill -9 if that doesn't work
[09:04] <cokeslut> sup
[09:04] <__david> that are scaled down to run at 640x360
[09:04] <IdleOne> juan: see what?>
[09:04] <shatrat> dimeo, I believe wpa is just wep with automatically changing keys.
[09:04] <Plaguez> Idleone, I did, as wraith, but no one seemed to listen.
[09:04] <adaptr> __david: AFAIUI, they will be "real" resolutions
[09:04] <Anomaly> when I run glxinfo, I get: X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) - anyone know how to fix?
[09:04] <cokeslut> I'll soon find out
[09:05] <adaptr> shatrat: not at all, at least, not WPA2
[09:05] <Plaguez> This guy <hydoseek> with dns problems, doesn't listen :-(
[09:05] <juan> i can  see dvd
[09:05] <shatrat> adaptr, great, enlighten us :)
[09:05] <__david> adaptr: I was hoping for every fourth line to just be dropped, or something like that
[09:05] <adaptr> shatrat: WEp "security" is a bit of an oxymoron :)
[09:05] <_Jaak_> thanks guys
[09:05] <cikilin> hello;how i resolv this-Failed to fetch http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/dists/breezy/free/binary-amd64/Packages.gz  404 Not Found
[09:05] <cikilin> ?
[09:05] <ctkroeker> ubuntu doesn't recognize my sound cards. "sudo asoundconf list" gives me nothing
[09:05] <pbureau> I use WPA PSK because my wireless heaset uses WEP and there was interference between it and the router
[09:05] <adaptr> shatrat: wikipedia should have all the details of the protocols
[09:05] <IdleOne> Plaguez: probably because the help you gave out wasnt very helpful. pointing to a website and saying go there and find the answer isnt always tyhe best way especially for a newb :)
[09:06] <guhase> hmm, my user wasn't in the audio group. guess that was it. restarting to find out
[09:06] <pbureau> ctkroeker- lspci does your sound card show there ?
[09:06] <adaptr> cikilin: breezy: old
[09:06] <cikilin> ?
[09:06] <cikilin> dont get it breezy: old
[09:06] <adaptr> that's a breezy repo you're trying to address, and since it's 3rd party it may not be current on that

[09:06] <Plaguez> I told him where to find the solution, since its in a text file, I'd hardly copy and paste it all in here.
[09:07] <cikilin> and how i do it corect?
[09:07] <Plaguez> If any one needs help with ubuntu, ask me in dials.

[09:10] <adaptr> cikilin: have you modified your sources ?
[09:10] <cikilin> no
[09:10] <ctkroeker> it worked, but after I tried to get my sound blaster to work, it wasn't recognized anymore
[09:10] <adaptr> ctkroeker: that's essential information you're suppressing...
[09:11] <ctkroeker> yeah, but the main thing is that it get's recognized and I can enable it

[09:24] <pbureau> Jac1- burn it ona  cd and reboot with it
[09:24] <adaptr> bobdobbs: that may very well do it - take it out of startup

[09:27] <IdleOne> np
[09:27] <bobdobbs> adaptr: if there was user-specific font paths, any idea where that would be?
[09:28] <IdleOne> fotoflo__: read that link though has more help
[09:28] <adaptr> bobdobbs: the wacom drivers are in xorg.conf for the covenience of laptop users - they *always* fail on a desktop, it's not an error
[09:28] <SmAcKaSs> If i install dapper, how easy is an upgrade to edgy? does it consist of reinstalling the OS ??
[09:28] <adaptr> bobdobbs: not right off, but I could look around (or you could google - even odds which one is fatsest :)
[09:28] <bobdobbs> adaptr: yeah, I kfiggured out wacom, just disabled them
[09:29] <adaptr> SmAcKaSs: not at all, if you upgrade a clean dapper to edgy you'll download approx. 1GB of packages, one reboot, and you're done
[09:29] <wolfjb> My system was giving me lots of errors trying to apt-get update and gnome wasn't working well, so I deleted .gconf* .gnome*, now my laptop buttons don't work. how can I get them to work again without having to reinstall edgy?

[09:33] <codi> one, i have mounted an ntfs drive into /media/Backups and it shows up on my desktop as 'New Volume', any way to change that to say 'Backup' ??
[09:33] <adaptr> if it really never finishes, you should not run it in a batch file...
[09:34] <adaptr> codi: right click, rename ?
[09:34] <wolfjb> My system was giving me lots of errors trying to apt-get update and gnome wasn't working well, so I deleted .gconf* .gnome*, now my laptop buttons don't work. how can I get them to work again without having to reinstall edgy?

[09:40] <Jim56342> Guys: I am a complete noob, trying to compile a driver in Ubuntu. I know I need to download something before I can compile the driver, but cannot remember what that something was. Any suggestions?
[09:40] <adaptr> Jim56342: is there no driver already available ?
[09:40] <Jim56342> No its a driver for a winmodem
[09:41] <adaptr> Jim56342: this question is so important that you should invest at least a DAY into finding a ready-made driver before trying to "build your own"
[09:41] <wolfjb> how to get gconf configured correctly?
[09:41] <adaptr> have you tried linmodem.org ?
[09:41] <Jim56342> adaptr: ive been to the linmodem site
[09:41] <Jim56342> and ive downloaded the driver file
[09:41] <adaptr> well, if you're sure... you need build-essential to build software
[09:41] <Jim56342> just need to compile it
[09:42] <adaptr> have you compiled stuff before ?
[09:42] <Jim56342> LOL adaptr I might be digging my own grave here
[09:42] <Jim56342> Nothing before
[09:42] <Jim56342> Ive got step by step instrcutions
[09:42] <adaptr> so how could you "remebmer" that you need something ?
[09:42] <Jim56342> just need to install something to Ubuntu first to get it to work?
[09:42] <adaptr> !build
[09:42] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[09:42] <Ferret> Does build-essential include kernel headers?
[09:42] <adaptr> it should
[09:42] <erUSUL> Ferret: no
[09:42] <trandism> Ferret, no i believe it does not
[09:43] <adaptr> it *should*, really - and glibc dev
[09:43] <Jim56342> That community doc looks good. I ll have a look at that and get back to you.
[09:43] <grimboy> Is there a command to find out what applications are currently using the sound card?
[09:43] <adaptr> oh don't call us - we'm call YOU :)
[09:43] <adaptr> grimboy: if it's /dev/dsp, lsof |grep dsp
[09:43] <erUSUL> adaptr: many people builds things that not include kernel drivers
[09:44] <erUSUL> grimboy: man lsof
[09:44] <adaptr> erUSUL: of course, I was just screwing around
[09:44] <_Jaak_> there are 2 kill commands kill appname doesn't'work
[09:44] <grimboy> erUSUL, Right, thanks.
[09:44] <adaptr> _Jaak_: there is only kill
[09:44] <adaptr> _Jaak_: kill needs a PID
[09:44] <Ferret> Dunno how to find out when things are using alsa. o.o
[09:45] <trandism> grimboy, "lsof |grep <device name>" might do the job
[09:45] <gnomefreak> _Jaak_: killall appname
[09:46] <adaptr> gnomefreak: please don't teach bad habits :)
[09:46] <gnomefreak> adaptr: its not a bad habit
[09:46] <adaptr> ...because ?
[09:46] <Ferret> I guess you look in /proc/asound/timers and take the bit where it says 'Client application 6611' and look that up in ps or top or whatever
[09:46] <gnomefreak> adaptr: there isnt anything wrong or proven bad to use it
[09:46] <trandism> does anyone here manage to setup a distributed file-system using Ubuntu servers & clients other than the openAFS - Kerberos combo? Any pointing to directions (links, experiences etc.) would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance
[09:46] <adaptr> gnomefreak: if somebody wants to kill ONE process and you give them that, then it's most certainly feeding a bad habit
[09:47] <gnomefreak> adaptr: it only kills one app
[09:47] <trandism> gnomefreak, no it kills or running instances of the given app
[09:47] <adaptr> gnomefreak: yeah, right
[09:47] <trandism> all * running instances
[09:47] <gnomefreak> adaptr: if you have 2 of the same app open than it will kill both of them but not many people need to run 2 of same app
[09:48] <adaptr> gnomefreak: I run many apps that start multiple identically-named processes
[09:48] <gnomefreak> adaptr: killall firefox-bin will kill firefox-bin
[09:48] <adaptr> gnomefreak: so do you
[09:48] <adaptr> gnomefreak: that's one good example right there
[09:48] <gnomefreak> adaptr: they are normall running with a --flag
[09:48] <guilherme_jorge> I've updated my Ubuntu to 6.10, but I have some problems in firefox when I try to access www.orkut.com.

[09:48] <guilherme_jorge>     installed.   \n    This might be due to a non-standard configuration on the server.  ".... Any idea?
[09:49] <gnomefreak> adaptr: as for firefox you only really need one open use the tab thats why they are there

[09:50] <adaptr> gnomefreak: any of those would cause unexpected side-effects
 Do you know what is happening when I try to access www.orkut.com?
[09:51] <gnomefreak> adaptr: why so many of each?
[09:51] <adaptr> gnomefreak: ask Ubuntu...
[09:51] <adaptr> gnomefreak: everything except bash is standard
[09:51] <gnomefreak> adaptr: ask ubuntu why you are running totem 2 times and bash so many times?
[09:52] <adaptr> gnomefreak: I am only running totem *once* , but there are two processes
[09:52] <gnomefreak> adaptr: that sounds like one crashed
[09:52] <adaptr> gnomefreak: and I am running bash 3 or four times usually
[09:52] <adaptr> gnomefreak: anyway to find out?

[10:05] <Cesiel> hey anyone know how to reconfigure xorg with the default ubuntu settings
[10:06] <Wyke> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:06] <Wyke> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:07] <Cesiel> yes but when I do that I get something wrong in the settings
[10:07] <fotoflo> hey whats the shell-based version of the system monitor called?
[10:07] <Wyke> that'll do it, it will ask you some stuff though, like the debian install
[10:07] <Wyke> what's wrong?
[10:07] <nexous> Hi
[10:07] <nexous> whats the package that i have to get to be able to use `run` command?
[10:08] <Cesiel> Umm the graphics are very slow
[10:08] <nexous> !make
[10:08] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[10:08] <Wyke> video card?
[10:08] <Cesiel> yes
[10:08] <Wyke> i mean which one you have
[10:08] <Cesiel> Is there a way for me to reinstall with the original ubuntu settings
[10:08] <Cesiel> instead of going throught everything
[10:09] <Cesiel> I have a 7600gts
[10:09] <Cesiel> It just forgot to back up my xorg.config
[10:09] <Cesiel> and now I cant get it working right
[10:09] <xtknight> fotoflo, top or  htop
[10:10] <fotoflo> cool thanks
[10:10] <Wyke> probablly you're choosing the wrong driver
[10:10] <Cesiel> I'm using vesa
[10:10] <Wyke> if is slow, you're usinv vesa, or vga
[10:10] <Bluhd> Hey, how do I install the beta nVidia kernel module? It doesn't compile correctly without any modification
[10:10] <Wyke> try nv or nvidia
[10:10] <riotkittie> Cesiel: there's not an autoreated backup ?
[10:10] <Cesiel> riokittie: How would I tell and how would I use it?
[10:11] <nexous> " while trying to install libc6-dev
[10:11] <nexous>   libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.6-0ubuntu20.2) but 2.4-1ubuntu12 is to be installed" is what i get.
[10:11] <Vandalay> if u installed nvidia driver-->put diver "nvidia" in xorg.conf
[10:12] <igge> hello!
[10:12] <Kichigai> Greetings.
[10:12] <Vandalay> if not: nv or vesa
[10:12] <igge> I have a laptop with a fan that makes a lot aof noise
[10:12] <Kichigai> Sounds like a hardware issue.
[10:12] <Wyke> but should work with nv
[10:12] <Bluhd> Did anyone see my question? I asked it a couple minutes ago and got no response.
[10:12] <ata> ravi's: aptitude install xmms
[10:12] <igge> where should I start?
[10:12] <Kichigai> anyone have experience with using WPA supplicant in 6.10?
[10:12] <ata> I'm having a hard time getting WiFi working on my computer. I've used the HowTo online(http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263136), but the debug mode of wpa_supplicant says "WEXT auth param 7 value 0x1 - Driver does not support WPA.". I find it listed as supporting WPA fine. Am I doing something wrong?
[10:12] <eternal_p> igge: I think most ubuntu laptops are like that
[10:12] <riotkittie> Cesiel: in a term, ls /etc/X11/xorg   ... auto backups are like xorg.conf.datetime  or timedate ...    im not sure what you did, so there might not be one
[10:13] <exspecto> how do i get dpkg to reinstall the default conf files for an already installed package?  i've tried dpkg-reconfigure but it doesn't replace/create the config files
[10:13] <lukas2> i want to install kubuntu. is the dvd recommented? i have got a broadband internet connection, thus i could install packages via internet. is openoffice included in the cd version?
[10:13] <Wyke> i think NV is the default for your system, you changed it for vesa and now is working slow
[10:13] <igge> eternal_p: are they? what about ACPI and so?
[10:13] <jughead> oo should be included lukas2 - it is in ubuntu anyway
[10:13] <Kichigai> lukas2: I recommend the DVD. The CD will have OO.o though.
[10:14] <Kichigai> The DVD is nice because it operates as a 100% useful live disc.
[10:14] <shatrat> igge, if you have the acpi and power management stuff installed and configured right, it should only come on when the temp goes up.  I dont know too much about getting that stuff going though, it worked out of the box on my HP
[10:14] <Vandalay> if fc6 if u mess up xorg.conf it saves old conf in "xorg.conf.bak"
[10:14] <Bluhd> OOO comes with everything, so you needn't worry :P
[10:14] <riotkittie> if there's one that looks like ti might work, then sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.thatfile /etc/X11/xorg
[10:14] <riotkittie> .conf
[10:14] <lukas2> thx.
[10:14] <riotkittie> oh man. i so totally cannot irc from within X :<
[10:14] <igge> shatrat: oh ok...
[10:15] <eternal_p> igge: mine usually runs hot if i'm doign java, etc.
[10:15] <Bluhd> riotkittie: then use irssi :P I have to because I need to set up my beta nvidia driver, but at this point I don't think anyone's going to help me -_-
[10:15] <riotkittie> Bluhd: i do use irssi
[10:15] <trandism> !gfs2-tools
[10:16] <ubotu> gfs2-tools: global file system 2 tools (EXPERIMENTAL). In component main, is optional. Version 2.20061002-0ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 251 kB, installed size 812 kB
[10:16] <riotkittie> i usually have irssi running in screen in tty1 :P
[10:16] <igge> eternal_p: i'm using 2% cpu right now... :) it shouldn't need the fan at maximum...
[10:16] <riotkittie> i was running it in a term in fluxbox tho. it was... odd.
[10:16] <nexous> I keep getting "libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (=2.3.6-0ubuntu20.2) but 2.4-1ubuntu12 is to be installed" whenever i try to install libc6-dev
[10:16] <fotoflo> how do i get multiple desktops in the bash shell?
[10:17] <eternal_p> nexous: there is alink on ubuntuforums.org about that
[10:17] <dolidoli> I have question.. I can't hear sound on ubuntu
[10:17] <eternal_p> igge: I have always find my fan speed suspect with ubuntu compareed to XP, i've just gotten used to it
[10:17] <riotkittie> multiple /desktops/ in the bash shell?
[10:17] <eternal_p> are you in 6.01 or 6.1
[10:17] <riotkittie> !sound | dolidoli
[10:17] <ubotu> dolidoli: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[10:17] <Bluhd> Gah, is anyone going to help me? I swear, I've never gotten such a slow response.
[10:17] <igge> eternal_p: ok..
[10:17] <dolidoli> riotkittie, thx
[10:17] <igge> !acpi
[10:17] <ubotu> acpi: displays information on ACPI devices. In component main, is optional. Version 0.09-1 (edgy), package size 10 kB, installed size 72 kB (Only available for i386 ia64 amd64)
[10:17] <eternal_p> igge: there are APCI commands you can send to the fan to slow it down
[10:18] <eternal_p> also, look at gdesklets and get something on your desktop to monitor temp, etc maybe you will see something
[10:18] <nexous> eternal_p: thanks.
[10:18] <igge> eternal_p: how do I send those commands?
[10:18] <eternal_p> igge: honestly, I have no idea
[10:18] <eternal_p> ive' just left it alone
[10:18] <igge> ah ok...
[10:18] <brussel> Is SVN free in ubuntu or do I have to purchase something?
[10:18] <Tru7h> Issues with recognizing USB flash drive. Works in Windows and Ubuntu but not Knoppix. Any help?
[10:18] <Kichigai> SVN is ALWAYS free
[10:18] <dv_> free
[10:19] <Bluhd> everything is free in ubuntu
[10:19] <minimec> fotoflo: So you want <ctrl><alt>1-6 in your gnome-terminal?
[10:19] <Kichigai> What Bluhd said.
[10:19] <nimrodg> Hi, I have some problems with my keymap. I'm using a Logitech LX500, and when I try to use the pipe and backslash key, I get angle brackets instead. How do I make corrections to the key map?
[10:19] <auTONYmous> Question: How can I disable NIS from running at boot without removing the package?
[10:19] <linux_kid> When I run package manager and install updates, it always comes up with an error stating a problem with the adobe reader package.  Also, when the packages to download are listed, the adobe package does not appear.
[10:19] <riotkittie> nimrodg: is this happening in X or out of it?
[10:19] <brussel> just making sure i wasn't getting the client and needed to pay for svn server software
[10:20] <fotoflo> riotkittie: uhm yeah, i used to have an old linux box and i oculd hit f1 to get to one bash and f2 to get to another, ect
[10:20] <fotoflo> etc.
[10:20] <fotoflo> how do i do that now?
[10:20] <Bluhd> Alright. Seeing as how I haven't gotten a single response in asking my question four times in ten or fifteen minutes, I figure I'll try a different approach:
[10:20] <Bluhd> Who here has nVidia?
[10:21] <fotoflo> bluhd: i do :-)
[10:21] <Bluhd> fotoflo: Did you get the beta driver installed?
[10:21] <minimec> fotoflo: <ctrl><alt>1-6
[10:21] <fotoflo> nah
[10:21] <Bluhd> darnit
[10:21] <riotkittie> fotoflo: CTRL + ALT + FKey ?
[10:21] <skip> Guten Abend
[10:21] <arnnn> how can I list all the available group?
[10:22] <MetaBookfoziS> how can i enable the javaplugin in my firefox (i'm installed to/opt from targz)
[10:22] <MetaBookfoziS> if i cp or ln -s it isn't works.
[10:22] <fotoflo> hmm neither of those worked
[10:22] <lun> hi, all, I compiled my own kernel and during boot up all my hard disk are recognized as hdx not sdx, how do i fix this?
[10:22] <Bluhd> I need someone who was able to successfully set up the beta driver available from www.nvidia.com, because I can't get the kernel interface to compile
[10:22] <fotoflo> bluhd: ive got nvidia on my laptop, running xp and VNC
[10:22] <shatrat> lun, are they serial ata or ide?
[10:22] <riotkittie> fotoflo: do you have some abnormal keyboard option set?
[10:22] <fotoflo> riot: im logged in through ssh?
[10:23] <fotoflo> is that abnormal?
[10:23] <shatrat> Bluhd, I didnt have any problems, did you install build-essential? Follow the latest nvidia how to?
[10:23] <minimec> fotoflo: <ctrl><alt>F1 doesn't work?
[10:23] <Bluhd> shatrat: Where is the nvidia how to? I couldn't find one
[10:23] <Kichigai> That should change his terminal LOCALLY.
[10:23] <Kichigai> Bluhd, you trying to install nVidia binary drivers?
[10:23] <lun> shatrat ,I'm not sure, but originally they are recognized as sdx, even now the /grub/menu.lst are configured to boot from sda3.
[10:23] <Bluhd> Kichigai: yes
[10:23] <nimrodg> Hi, I have some problems with my keymap. I'm using a Logitech LX500, and when I try to use the pipe and backslash key, I get angle brackets instead. How do I make corrections to the key map? This happens both inside and outside X.
[10:23] <riotkittie> ah ive never tried multiple prompts while SSHing into my box
[10:23] <fotoflo> minimec: that displayed a list of 2001 files
[10:23] <Kichigai> Bluhd, just install the binary package and edit your config file to use it.
[10:24] <riotkittie> so im not sure if its par for the course or not
[10:24] <nikitis> I have a question,  I went to install Cedega and i'm getting a direct rendering as no.  Yes acceleration works, and i did install my nvidia drivers correctly.  I'm using Beryl/aiglx.  How can I use both Beryl / and have direct rendering as yes?  There must be a way.
[10:24] <Vandalay> 1001 howto's on forum
[10:24] <minimec> fotoflo: One Moment please.
[10:24] <Bluhd> Kichigai: that's the problem. When I do $sudo sh NVIDIA-whatever.run, it says it can't compile the kernel interface
[10:24] <nikitis> Vandalay: for my issue?
[10:24] <fotoflo> minimec: sure thanks
[10:24] <Vandalay> -) i think so
[10:24] <Kichigai> Bluhd, there's an Ubuntu package. The run file requires the kernel dev file.
[10:24] <lun> and I have enabled the sata support during the kernel compilation
[10:24] <Wyke> Bluhd: there's a howto on ubuntuguide.org
[10:25] <riotkittie> what are you using as the ssh client?
[10:25] <Bluhd> Kichigai: I've got just about every possible development header
[10:25] <fotoflo> i think im using bash
[10:25] <Kichigai> Bluhd, odd. you sure you have linux-kernel-(your version here)-dev?
[10:25] <fotoflo> yup
[10:25] <fotoflo> using bash
[10:25] <RowrAliev> anyone got Ubuntu working on PS3?
[10:25] <minimec> fotoflo: So. you are on the console and you login via ssh to another computer.
[10:25] <babo> the ping time to my server is between 1400 and 5000 ms ... I guess that's pretty bad right ?
[10:25] <riotkittie> bash... as the ssh client ?
[10:25] <riotkittie> err.
[10:26] <Kichigai> No.
[10:26] <Kichigai> Bash is just a terminal shell.
[10:26] <fotoflo> im on windows using puTTy
[10:26] <Kichigai> Oh, sorry, I misunderstood.
[10:26] <riotkittie> Kichigai: i know that :p
[10:26] <eternal_p> anyone here have a lot of luck with VirtualBox...I can't get the usb filters to work?
[10:26] <fotoflo> ssh-ing into a bash shell
[10:26] <magical_trevsky> argh, my terminal has hung unmounting a usb drive, what's the safest way to sort it out?
[10:26] <linux_kid> I have a logitech mouse and it seems to disable the "F" and "B" buttons on my keyboard every time i plug it in, any solutions?
[10:26] <Kichigai> fotoflo: no wonder it doesn't work. Your probably not sending the F-keys
[10:26] <riotkittie> fotoflo: ok, maybe look in PuTTy's option and toy around with the key thingies.  there should be an option to... eh. i cant explain it.
[10:27] <doopidub> hey guys
[10:27] <fotoflo> riot: hold on im goign to the terminal to try
[10:27] <doopidub> does anyone of you know how to install a sil3114 raid controler?
[10:27] <pbureau> linux_kid- usb or normal ps2 ?
[10:27] <minimec> fotoflo: Ok. So this is a putty problem. There maybe an option in the menu of putty.
[10:27] <linux_kid> usb pbureau
[10:27] <riotkittie> and i dont hate myself enough to fire up the XP box at the moment. but i am pretty sure there's something there taht will like, let you define how things are handled
[10:27] <Vandalay> check if dmraid supports it
[10:27] <pbureau> linux_kid- and it does this when you plug it into the keyboard or pc?
[10:27] <johnn> can someone recommend an easy dvd rip (dvd->avi) frontend?
[10:27] <doopidub> dmraid? thanks
[10:28] <Vandalay> mb
[10:28] <Phopsy> Hey all...
[10:28] <fotoflo_> whoah, that was wierd
[10:28] <riotkittie> wee. i am tired. and incoherrent. and lacking the ability to spell.
[10:28] <Phopsy> Can someone help me with some SATA issues?
[10:28] <riotkittie> what was weird?
[10:28] <babo> what's the best way to test the BW available to a remote server ?
[10:28] <Kichigai> johnn, use MPlayer.
[10:28] <babo> Which package utulity can I use that will show me the throughput rate ?
[10:28] <fotoflo_> ctrl alt f1 swiched me from gnome to a tty1
[10:29] <Kichigai> Excellent!
[10:29] <linux_kid> pbureau: it plugs into the PC and starts acting up the keyboard, it fixes by changing the keyboard layout in settings, but i was wondering if there was another solution
[10:29] <Kichigai> That's supposed to happen.
[10:29] <riotkittie> yeah, its supposed to.
[10:29] <minimec> fotoflo: That's what we were talking about before ;)
[10:29] <fotoflo_> ok
[10:29] <v_> hi. is ubuntu's linux-source-2.6.17 modified/different from the original 2.6.17 kernel source tree?
[10:29] <fotoflo_> no, but maybe
[10:29] <johnn> Kichigai easy means not using mencoder commandline hazzle but "girl-friendly" with a big "RIP" button ;)
[10:29] <pbureau> linux_kid- Iwould thing the problem is the keyboard or the mouse, my instinct would say try another mousen ?
[10:29] <Kichigai> v_, unlikely to be too different.
[10:29] <Egyptian[Home] > hi
[10:29] <fotoflo_> ok
[10:29] <Egyptian[Home] > whats the difference b/w alternate and desktop iso?
[10:30] <fotoflo_> so, i guess i want a tabbing ssh client
[10:30] <riotkittie> girl-friendly? GIRL FRIENDLY??? whats that supposed to mean. <glare>
[10:30] <Kichigai> johnn, mencoder dvd://(title number) -o (filename here) -ovc lavc -oac copy -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=700:vhq:v4mv
[10:30] <v_> Kichigai: I was wondering if there would be any great advantage in using it over the latest kernel release
[10:30] <fotoflo_> like the terminal program in ubuntu
[10:30] <linux_kid> phureau: its a laptop, so the keyboard is built in (da) and the mouse is an external i bought cause the mouse pad is annoing
[10:30] <pbureau> you need girl-friendly-dev2 lol
[10:30] <johnn> Kichigai i know tghis
[10:30] <riotkittie> Egyptian[Home] : desktop gives you the Live CD
[10:30] <Kichigai> v_, Probably not.
[10:30] <Phopsy> Can anyone aid me with my SATA woes?
[10:30] <riotkittie> alternate is text mode
[10:30] <Egyptian[Home] > riotkittie: and does it support tv out?
[10:31] <minimec> fotoflo: http://www.raisin.de/putty-tabs/putty-tabs.html ;)
[10:31] <v_> Kichigai: thanks for the input
[10:31] <erUSUL> !anyone | Phopsy
[10:31] <ubotu> Phopsy: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[10:31] <riotkittie> Egyptian[Home] : taht i do not know
[10:31] <johnn> kichigai i know this  but i can't tell this my girlfriend :p
[10:31] <Kichigai> v_, no problem. I prefer rolling my own because it's awesome.
[10:31] <fotoflo> cool
[10:31] <Kichigai> johnn, try finding an ffmpeg front-end. Something like OS X's ffmpegX
[10:31] <Phopsy> Okay, many apologies :D
[10:31] <Egyptian[Home] > riotkittie: k thanks
[10:31] <johnn> thats what i asked for .. i though someone had already found such a tool ;)
[10:32] <Kichigai> johnn, check sourceforge. I doubt you'll find a package.
[10:32] <v_> Kichigai: this is for a cobalt raq4, so i'm patching it w/ Jeff Walter's patch for such
[10:32] <Phopsy> Alright, so I just built a new system and, fortunately, it boots up.  Any clues as to why this might be?
[10:32] <v_> Kichigai: so I kindof have no choice
[10:32] <Kichigai> johnn, it's been ages since I've used Linux as a desktop distro, so I wouldn't know what Ubuntu packages there are now.
[10:32] <Jim56342> Ive downloded the compiling software
[10:32] <Jim56342> Now I have another question!
[10:33] <Kichigai> Yes, Jim56342?
[10:33] <lun> my harddisks are recognized as hda instead of sda after compiling the kernel, anyone can help?
[10:33] <v_> later
[10:33] <johnn> there is dvdrip which is quite... bloated... and drip that looks quite broken ;)
[10:33] <Kichigai> lun, as long as they work, does it matter that much?
[10:33] <Jim56342> When I run the compiler on the thing I need to compile, its saying that it cant find any kernel sources?
[10:33] <linux_kid> pbureau: thanks for your help
[10:33] <Jim56342> and its asking for the path to the kernel sources
[10:33] <Kichigai> Jim56342, you need your kernel dev package.
[10:33] <Jim56342> ok kichi...
[10:34] <Kichigai> Jim56342, just install linux-kernel-(version number here)-dev
[10:34] <Bluhd> Okay, I have a probelm
[10:34] <Jim56342> how do i get that?
[10:34] <Bluhd> er
[10:34] <johnn> ah there is also acidrip.. that looks quite nice
[10:34] <Bluhd> I tried to do the beta driver install on ubuntuguide.org
[10:34] <Jim56342> sorry kichi need step by step instructions, am a complete noob
[10:34] <Bluhd> but there is no generic kernel support
[10:34] <riotkittie> Jim56342:  you can find it in apt or the package manage or your choice
[10:34] <pbureau> linux_kid- did you swap mice and it worked ?
[10:34] <Bluhd> I have to install the 386 kernel if I want it to work
[10:34] <jkillaz> hi Ubuntu
[10:34] <Ravi`s> please paste url tutorial install for player mp3 to ubuntu
[10:35] <Kichigai> Jim56342, been ages since I've done this myself. Use your package manager to find the kernel dev package for your version.

[10:35] <jkillaz> I just installed ubuntu on my dell latitude...
[10:35] <adaptr> Ravi`s: no ?
[10:35] <lun> Kickhigai: I don't know, but I got a feeling that my hard disks become slower..
[10:35] <jkillaz> there are two things irritating me.. and I cant seem to figure out how to resolve them
[10:35] <pbureau> Ravi`s- being that you question is as general as asking what kind of tires go on my car, I can only answer with "compile it"
[10:35] <Jim56342> package manager is the add/remove thing right?  My Wireless lan wont startup... the led is off..
[10:35] <riotkittie> Jim56342: Synaptic
[10:35] <linux_kid> pbureau: i was checking the forums, sorry, didnt see you saythat.  I dont have any other usb mice and no ps/2 ports on my laptop... so i dont know
[10:35] <Kichigai> Jim56342, it's the same as "apt" or Synaptic.
[10:35] <Bluhd> Jim56342: the command line version of it is apt-get
[10:36] <minimec> Ravi`s: Try the plugins of rythmbox the dirty ones, or install the win32 codecs.
[10:36] <Jim56342> I must be either really annoying or really amusing you guys
[10:36] <K1GPL> i am having trouble connecting to a remote desktop, both machines running edgy
[10:36] <Bluhd> no
[10:36] <jkillaz> anyone knows how I can resolve this?
[10:36] <grazie> Is there a way I can trace the exact date/time of when a package was released into a repository?
[10:36] <Kichigai> K1GPL, using VNC?
[10:36] <Bluhd> Jim56342: people ask questions like that all the time
[10:36] <Bluhd> Jim56342: it's not unusual or funny
[10:36] <minimec> !codecs | Ravi`s

[10:36] <pbureau> linux_kid- try pluggin it in a different usb port... or plug it in when you start computer to see if it does the same thing.
[10:36] <Kichigai> Jim56342, people have to start learning somewhere.
[10:36] <Kichigai> :)
[10:36] <riotkittie> Jim56342: not annoying or amusing. most of us have been where you are :P
[10:36] <K1GPL> Kichigai:  i have tried vnc, x11vnc, and the gnome remote desktop...when i try vncviewer I get this...
[10:36] <Kichigai> Man, I was such a n00b back in the day.
[10:36] <K1GPL> Kichigai, channel 3: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed
[10:36] <K1GPL> ReadFromRFBServer: rdr::EndOfStream
[10:37] <Jim56342> Indeed Kichi: I guess its so amusing for me because I teach computing: I am currently with a student. Not sure who is actually learning here...
 <--- thank you
[10:37] <riotkittie> << is going to die a noob
[10:37] <fotoflo> do you guys think its safe to burn a dvd across a samba/802.11g connection?
[10:37] <Rug> Howdy all
[10:37] <lun> how to make sure that the sata are recognized as sata not ide? is there anyway to check this?
[10:37] <K1GPL> nooobies forever
[10:37] <Rug> fotoflo: no
[10:37] <RowrAliev> foto...no...lol
[10:37] <pbureau> fotoflo- I doubt it
[10:37] <mjr> fotoflo, yes
[10:37] <fotoflo> uhh K1GPL: I hope note
[10:37] <fotoflo> not
[10:37] <linux_kid> pbureau: it only happens the first time i plug it in per session ( i do a lot w/ XP so i hibernate alot)
[10:37] <Kichigai> K1GPL, VNC is kind of picky, you just need to get your port numbers right.
[10:38] <Bluhd> Okay, nevermind, I figured out the problem
[10:38] <mjr> I've burned DVDs over sshfs/802.11a
[10:38] <RowrAliev> foto: try it..it might work.....
[10:38] <CoolCubix> Hi, I was asking if there was a way to use a touchpad (where moving finger gets moving cursor from place where it already is) as a tablet (where a point on the device matches a point on the screen) ?
[10:38] <pbureau> linux turn hibernate off to see if that is the factor causing the issue.
[10:38] <K1GPL> x11vnc likes 5900
[10:38] <Bluhd> there IS generic kernel support but apt-get doesn't see it by default. Synaptic handles it just fine though
[10:38] <K1GPL> i think that is the default
[10:38] <Rug> fotoflo: reduce the burn-speed for best results
[10:38] <Jim56342> Guys: gone into my package manager (add/remove) and cant find the linux-kernel thing...
[10:39] <Jim56342> what section should it be under?
[10:39] <lun> After compiling the kernel, my SATA hard disk is recognized as IDE , how to fix this?
[10:39] <Ravi`s> for ubuntu 6.06, what is can use memory 128
[10:39] <Ravi`s> ?
[10:39] <Kichigai> Jim56342, try using your System menu and choose the "Synaptic Package Manager" it hides fewer things from you.
[10:39] <linux_kid> Jim56342: Add/remove is not a package manager
[10:39] <riotkittie> yeah. System > Administration > Synaptic
[10:39] <Phopsy> Alright, so I just built a new system and, fortunately, it boots up.  Any clues as to why this might be? Sorry to have to repost...
[10:40] <pbureau> system-admin-synaptic, make sure to set all librairies to on... :)
[10:40] <minimec> Ravi`s: a normal ubuntu install will not run very fast.
[10:40] <zoexii> can anyone help me with installing a new icon theme in xfce?
[10:40] <zoexii> I know I used gcursor in gnome, but that doesn't seem to work anymore.
[10:40] <jkillaz> when I click on the Fn+Wifi nothinh happens..
[10:41] <grazie> zoexii: i'd go to #xubuntu
[10:41] <Kichigai> jkillaz, likely your hotkeys are disabled due to lack of drivers.
[10:41] <fotoflo_> ok good night all
[10:41] <riotkittie> Ravi`s: 128MB is fine but you will want to steer clear of GNOME and KDE. XFCE/xubuntu might be fine but you are probably better off with openbox / fluxbox / or another window manager over a desktop environment
[10:41] <Jim56342> what about linux-kernel-devel? Is that the one I want?
[10:41] <Ravi`s> ic
[10:41] <Kichigai> Jim56342, yes.
[10:41] <Jim56342> wkd!
[10:42] <Ravi`s> tx riotkittie
[10:42] <riotkittie> you're welcome
[10:42] <minimec> Ravi`s: You can otimize it by using xface or fluxbox as window manager. Or E17 or fvwm ....
[10:42] <zoexii> grazie, cool, didn't know they had a separate channel.
[10:43] <grazie> not so hectic there!
[10:44] <DCR> Hello
[10:44] <riotkittie> err. feel free to smack me if this is totally off topic but ... wait, if i have to start a sentence with that , chances are, i shouldnt ask :D
[10:44] <jkillaz> Kichigai: so I have to find out the drivers for a dell latitude 610
[10:44] <nikitis> Damn I can't figure out why Direct Rendering is NO
[10:45] <Kichigai> jkillaz, just the hot keys, I imagine. Just use Synaptic or apt to find all Dell packages.
[10:45] <jkillaz> bcause the screen resolution is also crappy my fonts are a little blurry....
[10:45] <riotkittie> there's a hotkeys package that might help
[10:45] <jkillaz> not blurry , but like crispy
[10:45] <Phopsy> Could anyone suggest why my SATA drive isn't showing up in GParted?
[10:45] <riotkittie> my dell latitude worked fine out of the  box. <hugs it>
[10:46] <grazie> Is there a way I can trace the exact date/time of when a package was released into a repository? I can't believe nobody in here can't answer this!
[10:46] <linux_kid> Ok, my last annoing question... I ahve a Compaq Presario V5000series laptop with a synaptic touchpad.  Sometimes in ubuntu, whenever i touch the touchpad, the mouse flys and clicks randomly around the screen.  Any ideas?
[10:46] <doopidub> okay i see my raid drive in fdisk -l, thanks to dmraid. but mounting is not possible with -t ntfs -r, why?
[10:46] <jkillaz> Kichigai: ok I will do that....
[10:46] <DCR> I installed ubuntu, well I ordered the CD and I got it, when I run it, I get there but the screen is messed up, I went to preferences and change Screen Resolution, because I have a quite big screen, but it wont change resolution. I don't even get the drop down menu. And I can't really work with the defaul resolution because I can barely see the screen, I only see the corner of every window, so is there anybody that can help me?
[10:46] <jkillaz> Kichigai: the same thing goes for the screen resolution?
[10:46] <Kichigai> DCR, edit your XOrg conf file.
[10:46] <riotkittie> linux_kid: look at the synaptic section in xorg.conf ...  toy around with it. im not sure how, but.. <shrug> :P
[10:47] <RowrAliev> where I get PPC64 distro of ubuntu?
[10:47] <Kichigai> jkillaz, no, that's your XOrg conf file.
[10:47] <riotkittie> back xorg.conf up first
[10:47] <Kichigai> jkillaz, as far as res, you and DCR likely have the same problem
[10:47] <DCR> But I haven't even istalled it, because when you get the CD you get like this kind of preview
[10:47] <DCR> But I can't really intall it
[10:47] <DCR> With that resolution
[10:47] <linux_kid> riotkittie: ok, thanks
[10:48] <bobdobbs> can anyone help me, system is hanging at login (just after loging in before usplash) and the only log I can find to debug is here : http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/870672 can someone please look at that and tell me if there is anything there worth looking at??
[10:48] <DCR> So it's fixable?
[10:48] <jkillaz> Kichigai: well the resolution is ok. But I dont know how to describe this, but the fonts are not as they should..
[10:48] <Kichigai> DCR, yeah, just a setting.
[10:48] <jkillaz> they are like cripsy
[10:48] <DCR> Alright.
[10:48] <jkillaz> crispy*
[10:48] <riotkittie> crispy. heh.
[10:48] <Kichigai> jkillaz, you want anti-aliasing, don't you?
[10:49] <DCR> Also, I'm kinda a noob, this is my first time, so where can I find the "xorg.conf?"
[10:49] <jkillaz> Kichigai: maybe that's it....
[10:49] <Kichigai> DCR, usually somewhere in /etc/XFree86 or something like that.
[10:49] <bobdobbs> or, can anyone point me to where some other log or debug files might be that could tell me what the issue could be for a system hang at login?
[10:49] <riotkittie> DCR: open a terminal and type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ...
[10:49] <Kichigai> bobdobbs, /etc/log/syslog
[10:49] <CoolCubix> DCR> /etc/X11
[10:49] <Jim56342> (Guys - very off topic - so ignore if you want. I am currently with a student and we are talking about how the internet destroys physical distance. If some of you could just type in your location (country only) to give him an idea of how the internet destroys physical distance that would be cool!)
[10:49] <riotkittie> or do it that way
[10:49] <CoolCubix> DCR> you should make a backup of a working/usable xorg.conf - if you have one
[10:50] <Kichigai> riotkittie, doesn't always work.
[10:50] <riotkittie> Kichigai: ah.
[10:50] <DCR> I don't know how to do anything, this is my first time running the CD
[10:50] <DCR> But I'll guess I'll give it a try
[10:50] <nikitis> Can someone help me with this direct rendering problem?  I've googled the hell out of the internet
[10:50] <DCR> Even though I don't understand most of what you're saying
[10:50] <DCR> But thanks
[10:50] <CoolCubix> nikitis> what did you done so far ?
[10:50] <bobdobbs> Kichigal: not there, no etc/log/ folder
[10:50] <ghatak> What is the best Audio Player for Ubuntu ?
[10:51] <cafuego_> ghatak: yes
[10:51] <root___> hi all! <- ari
[10:51] <nikitis> I've made sure glx was enabled, I can't get direct rendering to work with beryl disabled
[10:51] <cameotwat> ubuntu has apt get right?
[10:51] <nikitis> beryl runs fine though
[10:51] <ghatak> cafuego: Yes is a media player ?
[10:52] <bobdobbs> Kichigai: not there, no etc/log/ folder
[10:52] <root___> Have a question - I am trying to save data by using a liveCD of dapper and a USB stick
[10:52] <cpk1> ghatak: might as well ask what the best ubuntu flavor is or the best linux distro...
[10:52] <root___> can't mount drives
[10:52] <CoolCubix> nikitis> did you install your video card's drivers ?
[10:52] <nikitis> But in Cedega it says direct rendering: no.  I disable Beryl, and do glxinfo | grep rendering and it still shows no with gnome restarted and beryl disabled
[10:52] <bobdobbs> ghatak: I like amarok quite a bit
[10:52] <nikitis> CoolCubix: Yes
[10:52] <Rug> Jim56342: Canada
[10:52] <skyrunner> guys I installed networkmanager and now i cant see my local network
[10:52] <skyrunner> not that I could before either...
[10:52] <nikitis> CoolCubix: I get the nvidia logo everytime, and when I do glxgears it seems like it's rendering
[10:52] <CoolCubix> what card do you own ?
[10:52] <CoolCubix> ah k
[10:53] <nikitis> GeForce Go 6800
[10:53] <Kichigai> bobdobbs, sorry, /var/log
[10:53] <CoolCubix> and direct rendering says No ?
[10:53] <nikitis> yes
[10:53] <nikitis> i mean correct
[10:53] <ghatak> cpk1: sorry that took it wrong, i have been trying to use VLC, XMMS etc, but they just are not good, VLC is good alrounder but not good audio player.
[10:53] <CoolCubix> did you check /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[10:53] <skyrunner> try listen
[10:53] <ghatak> bobdobbs: thank mate, will give it a try
[10:53] <Ravi`s> Ubuntu 5.10 I not support mp3

[10:54] <skyrunner> pbureau, a whole bunch of stuff really
[10:54] <juano__> root___: you cant mount "hda" , you need to mount a logic partition like hda1 or something
[10:54] <klm-> cameotwat: 2053
[10:54] <CoolCubix> nikitis> check for (EE) or (WW) lines
[10:55] <Jim56342> Kichigai u there?
[10:55] <Ravi`s> what for command unmount to drive
[10:55] <nikitis> CoolCubix: i have a few of both
[10:55] <DarthLappy> Ravi`s: umount /mountpoint
[10:55] <skyrunner> wait, what was that thing called where you could paste a lot of command lines or other assorted stuff so you dont flood irc
[10:55] <cpk1> root___: try setting the fs type with -t ntfs
[10:55] <pbureau> skyrunner look for ethernet
[10:56] <root___> how do I mount hda1 using a liveCD, to transfer files to a usb drive? USB drive is autmatically recognized, already.

[10:57] <DCR> Hello again, sorry. I was also wondering, I'm on a Windows right now, but I wanna intall ubuntu without loosing any data from windows. How would I do it? I wanna be able to have both operating systems
[10:57] <CoolCubix> nikitis> i think you forgot something in your xorg.conf ; 'cause your driver is loaded
[10:57] <Vandalay> mb you must check /dev/mapper
[10:57] <cpk1> DCR: you can tell the installer to use available free space to install in
[10:57] <Jim56342> Guys: trying to compile a driver (have had various q s answered already) but am now having problems installing linux dev. Can anyone help?
[10:58] <DCR> Thanks cpk1
[10:58] <nikitis> Beryl loads too, I thought you couldn't do that in the first place if Direct Rendering is no
[10:58] <Vandalay> & name of your raid chipset
[10:58] <shatrat> DCR, defrag your windows drive and then do what cpk1 says.  back up anything you cant afford to lose though, that is always standard operating procedure.
[10:58] <DCR> Alright, thanks

[11:02] <nikitis> CoolCubix: what is XvMC
[11:02] <cpk1> ariari: shouldnt be hard, you can mount ntfs as read only and then move the stuff over to the usb stick
