[16:03] <Scunizi> rsc___, then the hot keys on the laptop to switch should work.. otherwise how do you switch them?
[16:03] <Jack_Sparrow> delfick, That sounds like something you will need to script as a cron job...
[16:04] <rsc___> scunizi, I used to use grandr, and xrandr --output VGA --auto. for Hardy though for some reason they dont detect my resolution right until I restart X :/
[16:04] <orfeu> hello is some one who have a Intel GMA 3100 graphic card ... I have some problems with xgl on this
[16:04] <Jack_Sparrow> !hardy > rsc___
[16:04] <delfick> Jack_sparrow, I looked at that, and I'm able to schedule the download and that part works, but how would I make it shutdown once the download finishes?
[16:04] <Lamego> delfick, that should be as simple as, wget url; shutdown -h now (launched from root's crontab)
[16:05] <rsc___> delfick, maybe a shutdown -h now :)
[16:05] <Jack_Sparrow> delfick, man shutdown
[16:05] <Scunizi> rsc___, if you have background programs running.. then ctrl+alt+backspace will restart the guil.. also sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (the preferred method).. but if you have gui programs running .. no.. they'll get shut down
[16:05] <rsc___> or even -hn to force it
[16:05] <rsc___> Scunizi, okay. :)
[16:06] <delfick> ahh, yes, that's right (/me is brandead atm) so it'd be wget [...] && shutdown -h now
[16:06] <delfick> ?
[16:06] <Technoviking> ok think I got it, can someone send me one more reply :)
[16:06] <Odd-rationale> Technoviking: no
[16:06] <Lamego> with && the system will not be shutdown if the download fails
[16:06] <Technoviking> Odd-rationale: thanks
[16:07] <delfick> Lamego, so what to use instead? :)
[16:07] <Lamego> delcoyote, wget url ; shutdown
[16:07] <jhaig> What is the equivalent of chkconfig in Ubuntu?  Ie, the tool for enabling and disabling services at different runlevels.
[16:08] <delfick> lamego,k then, thnx.....
[16:08] <delfick>  "delcoyote" ?
[16:08] <Lamego> ops, was delfick

[16:47] <dave421> Hi folks - how do I install the dummy network adapter module?
[16:48] <Seveas> dave421, what do you mean with 'dummy network adapter module'?
[16:48] <jdix123> I knew it had to be relatively simple.  THanks Seveas
[16:48] <dave421> as in to add a dummy network adaptor, using modprobe
[16:48] <dave421> (sorry if I get the terminology wrong - this is an area of linux I've yet to dabble with extensively)
[16:48] <Seveas> there is no such thing as a 'dummy network adapter'
[16:49] <soundray> dave421: it should autoload if you have the lines 'auto lo' and 'iface lo inet loopback' in /etc/network/interfaces
[16:49] <unicum> shouldn't it be "aptitude upgrade-dist"??
[16:49] <randomnumber> hello can anyone help me with a very very very strange problem?
[16:49] <dave421> I'm pretty sure there is one, Seveas ;)
[16:49] <unicum> it tells me upgrade-dist is an unknown command
[16:49] <CannibalM> hello again everyone.
[16:49] <dave421> as in here: http://www.rkeene.org/projects/info/wiki/77
[16:49] <Seveas> dave421, you might be refering to the loopback interface, <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:49] <soundray> unicum: 'sudo aptitude dist-upgrade'
[16:49] <CannibalM> Who here rocks out with SSL and the server edition of ubuntu 7.10?
[16:49] <dave421> soundray - I'm not talking about the loopback adapter, but a dummy adapter
[16:49] <CannibalM> I have 9 machines out of 10 working, the last one is a fighter.
[16:49] <hischild> soundray, he's talking about alias devices, like eth0:0
[16:49] <Seveas> dave421, hmm, never seen that before and it seems awfully useless to me...
[16:50] <unicum> doesn't do anything on that
[16:50] <bieb> any have any ideas on my sound issue?
[16:50] <dave421> Seveas - not at all.  I'm using EC2 with an ubuntu image, and i'm going to be running software that requires a network adapter with a specific MAC address.  I can't change the MAC address of eth0, because that makes the EC2 instance unreachable
[16:50] <soundray> hischild: apparently not -- see the link he's posted
[16:50] <unicum> not even after update
[16:50] <hischild> soundray, link? must be blind today
[16:50] <dave421> so I'm going to make a seperate network on my EC2 instance which routes through the actual eth0 interface
[16:51] <jdix123> while I'm here, how can i make a script that loads at bootup?
[16:51] <dave421> and that's where this dummy interface comes in :)
[16:51] <tanubis> anyone know if you can have multiple bluetooth headsets sharing one dongle and one sound input / output?
[16:51] <hischild> soundray, perhaps tunctl?
[16:51] <Seveas> dave421, that sounds like you're trying to fool a bad copy protection
[16:51] <soundray> !boot | jdix123
[16:51] <ubotu> jdix123: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[16:51] <dave421> Seveas - no, I'm doing this with the permission of the company that makes it
[16:51] <zo0mguy> how do I install mysql on unbuntu plz
[16:51] <bieb> !sound
[16:51] <ubotu> 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/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[16:52] <Seveas> dave421, there's really no reason we should beleive that ;)
[16:52] <dave421> but yes, that is the general idea.  It's more to identify the user of the software (ie me) to the company, than fooling anything or getting round licensing
[16:52] <dave421> Seveas - there's no reason to not believe it!
[16:52] <dave421> :)
[16:52] <zo0mguy> #apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient12-dev ?
[16:52] <dave421> they even gave me a week's long licence to try this out
[16:52] <dave421> so I don't have to fork over €3000 if it doesn't work
[16:52] <dave421> (3000 euros)
[16:52] <tanubis> zo0mguy yeah, that should give the basics to you.  You'll need to know a bit about how to configure it after you install it though.
[16:53] <Seveas> dave421, the all-to-commonness of piracy is ;) But anyway, there's a 'dummy' module in my kernel. Doesn't 'sudo modprobe dummy' work for you?
[16:53] <hischild> dave421, if you must use it, i suggest you take a look at tunctl to create a tap device which you can route to your eth0.
[16:53] <dave421> Seveas - nope, it says "FATAL: Module dummy not found"
[16:53] <Seveas> dave421, odd, which kernel version?
[16:53] <Seveas> (uname -a)
[16:53] <soundray> !lamp | zo0mguy, this page contains help on installing and configuring mysql
[16:53] <ubotu> zo0mguy, this page contains help on installing and configuring mysql: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[16:54] <dave421> 2.6.16-xenU
[16:54] <tanubis> zo0mguy once you've got those packages in, I'd recommend phpmysqladmin to finish setting it up.
[16:54] <zo0mguy> thanks tanubis
[16:54] <Seveas> tanubis, zo0mguy: it's phpmyadmin, not phpmysqladmin ;)
[16:54] <dave421> hischild - that sounds like a great idea
[16:54] <tanubis> apologies :S
[16:54] <Seveas> dave421, ah, you built your own kernel
[16:54] <zo0mguy> or phpflashadmin :)
[16:54] <dave421> Seveas - well, actually I used an existing EC2 image provided through Amazon
[16:54] <dave421> I guess that guy made his own :)
[16:54] <_moro_bana_>  is freeBSD not linux?
[16:55] <Seveas> dave421, this is Ubuntu support, not EC2 support :)
[16:55] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, no
[16:55] <dave421> Seveas - the problem is with Ubuntu, not EC2
[16:55] <hischild> dave421, if you're using xen, you should be able to just add a second NIC and route it through dom0
[16:55] <dave421> hischild - it's Amazon's xen, though
[16:55] <dave421> :)
[16:55] <Seveas> dave421, ubuntu kernels have this module. You don't run an Ubuntu kernel
[16:56] <dave421> Seveas - it's a ubuntu kernel
[16:56] <zo0mguy> here is what I get:
[16:56] <zo0mguy> ~$ apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient12-dev
[16:56] <zo0mguy> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[16:56] <zo0mguy> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[16:56] <FloodBot1> zo0mguy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:56] <zo0mguy> sorry
[16:56] <hischild> dave421, well, then please explain to me why you need ubuntu support if you're running a domU kernel, while you could just add a second nic to it and route dom0 for it?
[16:56] <Seveas> zo0mguy, sudo apt-get install .... etc
[16:56] <TWP-SirStaal> I did run wine with Ubuntu (the 2.1.4 version). When I conected to a server is says "Unable to initialize outbound codec (6.1-11025 hz. 16 bit) unable to find the specified codec. someone know whats wrong?
[16:56] <Seveas> you need the sudo
[16:56] <_moro_bana_> Seveas:i thought it was, how are they different then?
[16:56] <zo0mguy> ok thanks
[16:56] <TWP-SirStaal> I did run ventrilo*
[16:57] <kane77> zo0mguy, you need to be root to install stuff
[16:57] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, different kernel (bsd kernel vs linux), different userland (bsd userland vs gnu)
[16:57] <dave421> "Amazon EC2 Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy AMI"
[16:57] <Seveas> dave421, ask Amazon for support then.
[16:57] <dave421> Seveas - it's a UBUNTU KERNEL :)
[16:57] <dave421> so I'll ask Ubuntu :)
[16:57] <hischild> dave421, it is not
[16:57] <Seveas> dave421, it is not
[16:57] <_moro_bana_> its linux kernel
[16:58] <dave421> It says Ubuntu all over it, it was built from Ubuntu's source
[16:58] <dave421> that makes it about as Ubuntu as possible, surely
[16:58] <Seveas> dave421, ubuntu 7.10 has 2.6.20, not 2.6.16
[16:58] <hischild> dave421, ubuntu kernels DO have the dummy package. xen support isn't here.
[16:58] <dave421> unless it changes its name to Ubuntu McUbuntu, and moves to 100 Ubuntu Towers, Ubuntuville, Ubuntushire.
[16:58] <Seveas> dave421, so for the last time: it's not an Ubuntu problem. Ask amazon/ec2 for support.
[16:58] <_moro_bana_> Seveas: i kinda understand the kernel stuff, but what is userland
[16:58] <Dazedit> why can't I login to the ubuntu forums?
[16:58] <dave421> hischild - this one is obviously not your stock Ubuntu, but it definitely is Ubuntu
[16:59] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, C library, coreutils (rm, ln, cp, ls ...) lots of low level things
[16:59] <hischild> dave421, ubuntu means that you run the ubuntu kernel. You run the xen kernel. It might be build for ubuntu, but it isn't the ubuntu kernel. Please ask amazon for help if they run dom0.
[16:59] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, the GUI is X.org, it's pretty much the same on bsd and linux
[16:59] <dave421> but let's not get bogged down in semantics.  hischild - how can I install that tunctl?
[17:00] <KennethP> I'm trying to keep a package from being updated with sudo echo <package> hold|dpkg --set-selections but gets this error: dpkg: operation requires read/write access to dpkg status area. Any ideas?
[17:00] <SuperQ> KennethP: sudo?
[17:00] <SuperQ> oh
[17:00] <SuperQ> I seee
[17:00] <Seveas> KennethP, echo <package> hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections
[17:00] <KennethP> SuperQ: yes and I enter the pw also
[17:01] <Slart> KennethP: I think using sudo like that only runs the first part as root.. ie the stuff after the pipe thingy isn't run as root
[17:01] <Seveas> you had the sudo on the wrong place
[17:01] <Seveas> Slart, precisely :)
[17:01] <SuperQ> KennethP: sudo isn't passed through the |
[17:01] <_moro_bana_> Seveasl i see, have to try bsd maybe,experiment. thanks a lot for the info
[17:01] <KennethP> ahhhh - thanks guys!
[17:02] <hischild> dave421, ok. Despite the doubts i'll give you a hand. it should be provided in a package.
[17:02] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, if you want to try bsd, there's several flavors: freebsd, netbsd, openbsd. I prefer freebsd over the others
[17:02] <dave421> thanks, hischild, I appreciate it :)
[17:03] <hischild> dave421, uml-utilities
[17:03] <hischild> dave421, and not to be rude or anything, but the man page of that should provide you with all the info you need.
[17:03] <dave421> hischild - thanks - I installed that package and now I have it :)
[17:03] <dave421> Thanks for your help, it's priceless
[17:04] <_moro_bana_> Seveas: can i get it from the internet like ubuntu.what made you come to ubuntu, guess you started with bsd
[17:04] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, yes you can. Google is your friend in this case :)
[17:04] <Bankai--> i have ubuntu dapper drake server installed on my virtualbox, when i start it up it stops at Kernel loading only, any idea how to fix this?
[17:04] <benanzo> when I encrypt an MBR disk image with a single ext3 filesystem with gpg then do: "cat Image.img.gpg > /dev/sdb1" both parted and fdisk thinks the encrypted partition has a GUID partition table.  Is this normal?
[17:04] <jdix123> Seveas:  what is the "tee" command you suggested to load ipx module?
[17:05] <jdix123> Bankai:  VBox does not support the server version of the ubuntu kernel
[17:05] <_moro_bana_> Seveas: yes i can find it.
[17:05] <Seveas> jdix123, it's a way of doing outpur redirection as root. The 'echo ipx | tee -a /etc/modules' command added the word ipx to the /etc/modules files so the module gets loaded at boot time.
[17:05] <dave421> and I'd suggest to anyone who's interested to check out Amazon's EC2 service - it's incredibly powerful
[17:05] <dave421> if confusing :-P
[17:05] <jdix123> Seveas, I get the echo command did that.  what is the tee?  specifically?
[17:06] <Seveas> jdix123, 'man tee' for all the details :)
[17:06] <_moro_bana_> Seveas: can you handle this one? , my synaptic ,apt,aptitude stopped working
[17:06] <dfeuer> I've been looking for info on a wireless networking problem for a while, and haven't yet found info on it, or a person who knows about it.  Specific combo Lenovo T61p with Intel wireless.  Anyone familiar with it?
[17:06] <jdix123> oh yeah.  duh.
[17:06] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, I need a bit more info :)
[17:06] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, like an actual error
[17:06] <aschmack> dfeuer, have you tried ndiswrapper
[17:07] <jdix123> dfeuer, are you trying to use ndiswrapper?
[17:07] <Seveas> !wifi | dfeuer, looked here already?
[17:07] <ubotu> dfeuer, looked here already?: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[17:07] <cellofellow> Is this Flash upgrade safe? I remember some problems with the last one.
[17:07] <_moro_bana_> Seveas: well apt just halts at 0% when downlading, wait let me start synaptic and see what it gives me
[17:07] <Seveas> cellofellow, I haven't heard a problem report about it yet
[17:07] <cellofellow> ok
[17:07] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:08] <benanzo> does the header created by GPG resemble the same as a GUID partition table?  Is this coincidence or intentional?
[17:08] <Seveas> benanzo, that sentence made no sense at all, I'm afraid
[17:08] <Seveas> gpg has nothing to do with partitions
[17:08] <Seveas> (except that it lives on a partition of course, like all files)
[17:09] <benanzo> cat /dev/sdb1 | gpg -ce > sdb1.img.gpg
[17:09] <benanzo> cat sdb1.img.gpg | gpg -d > /dev/sdb1
[17:09] <benanzo> pardon
[17:09] <benanzo> cat sdb1.img.gpg > /dev/sdb1
[17:10] <benanzo> encrypted partition with GPG shows as GPT in fdisk and parted
[17:10] <Seveas> ahhh :)
[17:10] <onca> got ?s on installing over a wifi connection, I have the 8.4 release iso and I'm using UNetbootin to configure boot.ini and grub, can anyone advise me. I simply need direction to config the WiFi configuration, no wep open auth infrastructure mode I have a SSID.
[17:10] <Seveas> benanzo, that would be completely coincidental
[17:10] <Seveas> benanzo, and there are better ways to encrypt your partitions...
[17:11] <_moro_bana_> Seveas: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62737/
[17:11] <onca> Should it be simple, from the Gnome desktop?
[17:12] <benanzo> Yes I know but I was just playing around with it and when I went to reformat it I notice the disk has GPT now -- or at least fdisk/parted think it does.  Despite the fact that the data is absolutely scrambled so they don't know what they're looking at anyway.
[17:12] <jdix123> onca, I had problems with the gnome front end configuring my wireless, I had to use iwconfig
[17:12] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, ah, you've used automatix and enabled the beryl repos. You probably already ruined your system with that
[17:12] <cellofellow> Why would anybody use Beryl now that there's Compiz-Fusion?
[17:13] <Seveas> cellofellow, because people might not know that :)
[17:13] <cellofellow> Figures. Automatix... yeah, I see your point. :)
[17:14] <benanzo> the only thing readable on the disk is the GPG header, which must be incredible similar to a GPT header since both fdisk and parted think that's what it is.
[17:14] <_moro_bana_> Seveas: i removed automatix a long time ago after learnign it wasnt good for my system, fresh install then right ?
[17:14] <aschmack> is there any special configuring i have to do to install + use emerald or do i just install it via synaptic
[17:14] <Lammy10> Hi, what funtion does updatedb have. all of a sudden my CPU light went up and i $ top  and saw that updatedb was on, i did $ man updatedb   but am clueless
[17:14] <Seveas> benanzo, it's not the header that counts, just a few bytes determine what is seen as the partition type
[17:14] <hischild> Lammy10, it updates a search index which you can use with locate.
[17:14] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, well, at least disable the automatix and beryl repos in your sources.list
[17:15] <ikaros> hi, how can i set the mtu for my et0 interface so its set to 1500 at startup? i tried "ifconfig eth0 mtu 1500" in rc.local but it didnt work
[17:15] <Lammy10> hischild, ah ok, thank you ;)
[17:16] <onca> oh, it appears I need ndiswrapper to install my driver for this wifi card.
[17:16] <Kohnrad1982> hello.  Im a recent ubuntu convert and am looking for something similar to Frontpage.  Any ideas?
[17:16] <_moro_bana_> Seveas: that is deleting the lines from the file, am i right?
[17:16] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, correct
[17:16] <cellofellow> Kohnrad1982: Nvu, but it's in development. There's a fork that's a KDE program I forgot the name.
[17:16] <cellofellow> Anybody?
[17:17] <cellofellow> Komposer I think.
[17:17] <jdix123> onca, the ndiswrapper website is extremely helpful in setting it up
[17:17] <hischild> would it be possible (as in, won't cause conflicts) to mount the /home from my laptop via nfs on my main pc as /home and then login as the same user that is logged in on my laptop?
[17:17] <cellofellow> hischild: if you use LDAP for the user auth, no problem.
[17:17] <Seveas> hischild, that can cause "weird" things to happen but is mostly safe if the UID's are the same
[17:17] <aschmack> Kohnrad1982, komposer or amaya
[17:17] <hischild> cellofellow, never heard of LDAP.
[17:17] <echinos> good ol' update-manager -d
[17:18] <hischild> Seveas, UID's are user id's? and how would i go about checking those?
[17:18] <Seveas> hischild, the 'id' command on both machines should give the same number next to your loginname
[17:18] <recon> Speaking of UID's, how do you add a new User ID to a GPG key?
[17:18] <vavincavent> Kohnrad1982: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsApplicationsEquivalents
[17:18] <onca> jdix123, I'm reading up on the process, but the trick is to retain the information and apply it when I dun have access to it. Wich, I'm terrible @.
[17:19] <cellofellow> Kohnrad1982: Kompozer
[17:19] <mmm4m5m> Question: Can I unload (like more free space and memory) desktop panel instead delete? I want to have it setup and ready but to load it only when I need it.
[17:19] <recon> er, never mind. found it.
[17:19] <Seveas> recon, gpg --edit-key
[17:19] <Nitro> I'm searching for (hopefully) some answers. When I try to logout, restart, whatever that involves X11, it won't work. X11 refuse to stop, so each time I want to do something I have to use control+alt+backspace. Anyone know a solution?
[17:19] <recon> Seveas: thanks.
[17:19] <hischild> Seveas, i see. And would i be able to change that number? as my main pc as 1003 and the laptop has 1000
[17:19] <_moro_bana_> Seveas: one thing i want to ask about fresh installs, my kpvnc on my fresh inst shows its connected to microsoft pptp but my browser can load
[17:19] <jdix123> onca, try saving the location of the threads/websites/howtos in a text file.  that's how I re-visit fixes
[17:19] <Seveas> hischild, difficult but not impossible. Easy to mess up and dangerous :)
[17:19] <Kohnrad1982> ok, ill check out kompozer. i was looking at that website, but thought I needed NVU.
[17:20] <hischild> Seveas, i see. So the best way to go about that would be to add a new user that has the same id and then use that user to share it. correct?
[17:20] <Seveas> _moro_bana_, sorry, I know nothing about kvpnc
[17:20] <benanzo> hischild: useradd -u "UID" to for a specific uid
[17:20] <cellofellow> Kohnrad1982: Nvu has fallen by the wayside, I think. I'm not sure though. There's also Seamonkey, the old Mozilla Suite that still has the HTML editor in it.
[17:20] <dmsuperm1n> hey guys, ssh'ing from work, and i've just opened irssi
[17:20] <Seveas> hischild, well, they must have the same username too or some apps will get confused
[17:21] <dmsuperm1n> is there a way to make sure that irssi will stay open even if i disconnect? will it?
[17:21]  * ^Migs^ pats dmsuperm1n on the head
[17:21] <Seveas> dmsuperm1n, 'man screen' :)
[17:21] <hischild> Seveas, ofcourse but that's just common sense imo =)
[17:21] <hischild> Seveas, sounds like a new project for tonight once i get back. Thanks and good luck.
[17:21] <\24had0w> Всем привет!
[17:21] <benanzo> hischild: best way to do it is to archive your home dir and any other files your user owns, then remove him and add the new one with "useradd -u "UID" "USERNAME"
[17:21] <Seveas> hischild, I don't count on commen sense anymore. I've seen people in here do too many stupid things :)
[17:21] <Seveas> !ru \24had0w
[17:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ru \24had0w - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[17:21] <mmm4m5m> привет :)
[17:21] <Seveas> !ru | \24had0w mmm4m5m
[17:21] <ubotu> \24had0w mmm4m5m: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке  / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke
[17:21] <hischild> Seveas, hehe i understand
[17:22] <\24had0w> Ладно, пасиб:)
[17:22] <mmm4m5m> wow, this was nice :)
[17:22] <hischild> benanzo, i'll just create a new user, don't have the space to archive the whole home dir ;-)
[17:22] <hischild> see you all later
[17:22] <cellofellow> Kohnrad1982: my favorite HTML editor is Bluefish, but it's not WYSIWYG, just a nice text editor for HTML/XML/PHP.
[17:22] <nikhil__> hey guys, is there any way to know total net usage data over a period of time of my choice?
[17:23] <Seveas> nikhil__, there are several monitoring programs that can achieve that
[17:23] <bastid_raZor> dmsuperm1n; the ideal way would be ssh in.. then type screen .. then start irssi .. if you lose connection (do not log out) you'll be able to pick up where you left off by logging back in and typing screen -r
[17:23] <inSanity_> hi
[17:23] <Seveas> nikhil__, but they can't magically look in the past so it'll only work from the moment you install/enable them
[17:23] <nikhil__> Seveas, could u suggest a good one?
[17:23] <Slart> nikhil__: I think nload can do it.. and it gives you a nice terminal graph of network usage
[17:23] <inSanity_> I upgrade to hedgy heron, anyone an idea how to install firefox2 ?
[17:23] <Slart> !info nload
[17:24] <inSanity_> firefox3 does not work well
[17:24] <ubotu> nload (source: nload): A realtime console network usage monitor. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.6.0-3 (gutsy), package size 29 kB, installed size 120 kB
[17:24] <Jaymac> inSanity_: it's in the repositories too
[17:24] <Seveas> nikhil__, mrtg is nice, simple iptables rules can help you too. Or cacti
[17:24] <Jaymac> inSanity_: see #ubuntu+1
[17:24] <jdix123> how can I tell if IPX loaded and is working properly?
[17:24] <inSanity_> #ubuntu+1
[17:24] <inSanity_> ?
[17:24] <mmm4m5m> Question: System Monitor show that gedit is using 104.7 MB virtual memory. Is that ok for simple notepad program? (the same with pidgin)
[17:24] <Jaymac> inSanity_: type /j #ubuntu+1 for hardy support :)
[17:24] <Seveas> nikhil__, I'm going to have to tell you to 'google it' if you want more details since that will the fastest way to get info :)
[17:24] <cellofellow> mmm4m5m: which GEdit is not. Try leafpad for that.
[17:25] <mmm4m5m> 10x
[17:25] <Slart> mmm4m5m: as long as nothing wants memory, let it use it
[17:25] <Seveas> jdix123, lsmod | grep ipx
[17:25] <inSanity_> Jaymac : thanks mate!
[17:25] <Jaymac> inSanity_: no problem
[17:27] <helkate87> hello there! i just installed wlan drivers for my laptop, now  there isnt wlan option in gnome network manager..  my guess is that its missing eth file, how do i fix this?
[17:28] <javaJake> Does the Mac x86 version of Ubuntu have a memtest that works? I want a nice easy way to test the memory on an Intel MacBook, and an Ubuntu LiveCD seemed to be the best way to do that
[17:28] <mmm4m5m> Slart, cellofellow: my problems are desktop applets (trashapplet = 60 MB virtual memory). I feel like these toolbars are talking a lot resources. If I know so, I will remove some of these "nice" features. (it is P4 laptop)
[17:28] <Damion> howdy?
[17:28] <Damion> er
[17:28] <jos__> heello a have instaled updates andt nauw youre tube has no sound ?
[17:28] <Damion> minus the question mark.
[17:28] <Damion> How's it going?
[17:28] <Tommy179> hallo
[17:28] <jos__>  youre tube no sound how to fix it?
[17:28] <magnetron> how do i graphically empty the trash for a mounted partition?
[17:28] <MrBill> I've installed gnomebaker on my system and am using it to burn my CDs and DVDs, however, when I put a blank in I'm still being prompted automatically to burn, or ignore. Is there a way to disable this automatic prompting?
[17:28] <Seveas> mmm4m5m, don't look at the 'virtual memory', that's misleading :)
[17:28] <mmm4m5m> ok, 10x a lot
[17:29] <helkate87> i just installed wlan drivers for my laptop, now  there isnt wlan option in gnome network manager..  my guess is that its missing eth file, how do i fix this?
[17:29] <magnetron> MrBill: System > Preferences > removable media
[17:29] <MrBill>  Thank you magnetron
[17:29] <jos__>  youre tube no sound how to fix it? in ubunt the soud is worijg oke on de systemm?
[17:29] <Damion> so I tried to install xubuntu about a month back now and gave up because I couldn't burn a liveCD that worked, so I figured I'd wait for a ubuntu official release to come in the mail
[17:30] <jdix123> crap.  I did a "ipx_interface add -p eth0" but I need it on wlan0
[17:30] <helkate87> i just installed wlan drivers for my laptop, now  there isnt wlan option in gnome network manager..  my guess is that i need to do own eth file
[17:30] <Damion> none of "start or install", "start in low graphics mode" and "CD test" work
[17:30] <Damion> after the screen with the orange loading bar
[17:30] <magnetron> !enter | Damion
[17:30] <ubotu> Damion: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[17:30] <Damion> kk
[17:31] <Seveas> hey magnetron :)
[17:31] <helkate87> Damion, i doubt its the cds fault.
[17:31] <magnetron> Seveas: hi.
[17:31] <Damion> After the loading bar, it puts me in a program called BusyBox.
[17:31] <Seveas> Damion, that could mean the cd is broken
[17:32] <Damion> BusyBox presents me with a simple prompt, but starts spitting out text
[17:32] <jos__> is it u bags wen you doint have sound in youretube?
[17:32] <jos__> bug
[17:32] <Damion> the hash isn't correct
[17:32] <javaJake> Anyone here use Ubuntu? Does the memtest on the Ubuntu LiveCD work for you?
[17:32] <javaJake> On a mac, *cough*
[17:32] <Damion> I checked the CD and it gave me a hash that started with 1
[17:32] <lartza_> Hi! WHy does xmms "steal" the musci output?
[17:32] <helkate87>  Damion: i think its somekind of compatibility problem with your pc, i think you should try use different boot options..
[17:32] <Seveas> Damion, then burn a new one (make sure the iso file is correct!)
[17:32] <sjovan> javaJake: no, no one on a ubuntu channel uses ubunut :)
 Damion, then burn a new one (make sure the iso file is correct!) <-- I've tried to download the xubuntu iso three times
[17:33] <javaJake> sjovan: heheheh
[17:33] <helkate87> i just installed wlan drivers for my laptop, now  there isnt wlan option in gnome network manager. how do i add my wlan there?
[17:33] <Damion> none of those times match the hash on the website
[17:33] <chtp> hi folks. i have some trouble with unattended installation of clients via pxe. if vga monitor hangs on vga port, the installation works fine, but with unplugged  vga connector, the client hangs after receiving pxe image. anyone here has a hint whats going wrong?
[17:33] <javaJake> sjovan: yea, I realized that was the wrong question after I hit ENTER. :P
[17:33] <Damion> (but all three of them match each other)
[17:33] <Seveas> Damion, are you sure you're looking at the right hash then?
[17:33] <Damion> I know it's a different one for the disc
[17:33] <Seveas> or are you lost in a coffeeshop with too much hash around you? :)
[17:33] <sjovan> javaJake: mhm :) what is mentes btw?
[17:34] <lartza_> Hi! Why does xmms "steal" sound output? I can't hear sound from other programs when I have xmms running.
[17:34] <Damion> but for the ISOs
[17:34] <echinos> whoa - upgrade to hardy is taking a loooong cat time
[17:34] <bullgard4> [Fantasdic]: "Could not connect to dict://vocabulary.aioe.org" Portnummer=2628. What should I do?
[17:34] <lartza_> Portnummer > Portnumber ?
[17:34] <jdix123> question: is IPX such an outdated protocol that its incompatible with wifi?
[17:34] <Seveas> Damion, disk and iso should have the same md5sum, otherwise the burn went wrong. Burn at a lower speed
[17:34] <echinos> Chow do I get update-manager -d touse a close mirror?
[17:34] <bastid_raZor> echinos; 300 and some odd meg of updates.. takes a bit to install all that
[17:34] <Damion> kk
[17:34] <lartza_> Hi! Why does xmms "steal" sound output? I can't hear sound from other programs when I have xmms running. And how to fix it?
[17:35] <Seveas> !repeat | lartza_
[17:35] <ubotu> lartza_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[17:35] <Seveas> lartza_, try an audioplayer from this century.
[17:35] <lartza_> Seveas: I know I know
[17:35] <dave421> One more question - how do I make sure portmap loads on startup?
[17:35] <lartza_> Seveas: But, it's lightweight
[17:35] <mheath> lartza_: XMMS is outdated and configured by default to use an older audio framework.
[17:35] <kane77> lartza_, what about audacious?
[17:35] <Seveas> dave421, unless you disabled it, it starts automatically at startup
[17:35] <echinos> bastid_raZor: well, yeah, but this is taking longer than it should
[17:35] <dave421> I had to install it using apt-get
[17:35] <mheath> lartza_: In essence, XMMS is more-or-less directly accessing your audio card, and thus is monopolizing it
[17:36] <dave421> would that install it to run automatically?
[17:36] <echinos> bastid_raZor: it seems like the server is lagging 'casue there are a lot of people on it
[17:36] <mheath> lartza_: Newer applications use a higher-level framework that allows multiple applications to share the sound card.
[17:36] <Tommy179> Hallo
[17:36] <Seveas> lartza_, there are other lightweight players too (beep-media-player, audacity..)
[17:36] <echinos> I should be able to download 300 megs in less than an hour
[17:36] <lartza_> audacity isn't audioplayer...
[17:36] <echinos> the time estimate is over 8 hours
[17:36] <dfeuer> Does anyone here know a reason for me to back up Windows Vista (Home Basic edition) before wiping it?
[17:36] <kane77> Seveas, isn't audacity audio editor?
[17:36] <lartza_> i'll try audacious and beep
[17:36] <Seveas> lartza_, audacious then (I always mess up those names)
[17:36] <bastid_raZor> echinos; it took a fair amount of time to download for me.. i can get 900Kb/s .. so 15 minutes is a long time..took nearly 40
[17:36] <Scunizi> dfeuer, you won't find any here
[17:37] <echinos> bastid_raZor: long time== 8 hours
[17:37] <echinos> well, 6 now
[17:37] <Scunizi> dfeuer, unless you anticipate putting it back on.. or maybe create a vm out of it to run inside of ubuntu
[17:37] <helkate87> i just installed wlan drivers for my laptop, now  there isnt wlan option in gnome network manager. iwconfig says nothing..
[17:37] <TMC_> how this is starting to piss me off, these desktop links won't go away
[17:37] <mheath> dfeuer: Yes; before performing any major operations, regardless of operating system, you should backup all important information and things you want to save.
[17:37] <TMC_> how do i delete them? Anyone?
[17:37] <dfeuer> There is no important information on it, mheath.
[17:37] <dfeuer> It's pretty much a clean install.
[17:38] <bastid_raZor> echinos; yeah.. that is a bit long. do you notice any speeds at all? are you monitoring your upload/download speeds? is it still downloading?
[17:38] <mheath> dfeuer: OK, then, if you plan on installing Ubuntu on top of it, you should be OK.
[17:38] <bullgard4> [Fantasdic]: "Could not connect to dict://vocabulary.aioe.org" Port number=2628. What should I do?
[17:38] <dfeuer> And it's way too big for my (80 GB) hard drive.
[17:38] <lartza_> Does any lightweight one have real ipod suppoert? With xmms I had to create playlist of iPod's music folder.
[17:38] <kane77> dfeuer, then you need not worry...
[17:39] <dfeuer> Hehe, I always worry, but sitting here burning 10 CD-Rs is not my idea of a good time.
[17:39] <bastid_raZor> lartza_; rhythmbox possibly
[17:39] <echinos> bastid_raZor: it seems to lag often on certain files
[17:39] <echinos> it's stalled, went to 1 day
[17:39] <lartza_> bastid_raZor: lightweight!
[17:40] <kane77> dfeuer, I guess you don't need to backup the vista itself, but rather only settings and your data...
[17:40] <bastid_raZor> echinos; possibly your mirror is having issues.. mine was a constant speed.. slower than normal but constant
[17:40] <bastid_raZor> lartza_; google for it. google is your friend
[17:40] <echinos> bastid_raZor: can i just use do-release-upgrade from console?
[17:40] <bastid_raZor> echinos; that i don't know..
[17:40] <echinos> I'm gonna try it, maybe it will show me what's going on.
[17:41] <bastid_raZor> echinos; tell me what it reports.. if you don't mind
[17:41] <echinos> will do
[17:41] <lartza_> audacious has kinda crooked GUI
[17:42] <lartza_> area audacious and beep the one and the same program? :P
[17:42] <Seveas> lartza_, both are forks of xmms
[17:43] <Damion> When switching from windows 98 se to ubuntu or xubuntu, using Telus ADSL, what should I do to ensure that I can connect when I've made the switch?
[17:43] <Scunizi> Damion, try the live cd first and see if your nic/wireless work.. if it does there it will on install
[17:43] <echinos> 984 megs to download, it estimates between 2 and 3 hours
[17:43] <Damion> k
[17:44] <echinos> it's gotta be my repository being slow
[17:44] <CannibalM> Any ideas of where to go for some SSL help?
[17:44] <CannibalM> I can't get my final machine working
[17:44] <CannibalM> and I'm on day two now... :-/
[17:45] <CannibalM> the vhosts file is fine,
[17:45] <CannibalM> but it keeps failing
[17:45] <Damion> I use a large external drive I loaned from a friend. I don't have enough space on my own hard drive to back it up, and I don't really know if I want to reformat it for FAT32 because I don't own it and if friend ever calls it back in, he uses Windows. Can I still use it even though it's formatted to NTFS or whatever the Windows standard is?
[17:45] <lartza_> so bmp is fork of xmms and audacious is fork of bmp and then there is bmpx?!?
[17:45] <CannibalM> meanwhile, the system is live so bringing it down over and over to try something is a big pain
[17:46] <legend2440> TMC_: open terminal type cd Desktop then sudo rm Li<tab key> then enter. This worked for me
[17:46] <echinos> hah
[17:47] <tommy> Hallo
[17:47] <CannibalM> anyone?
[17:47] <CannibalM> :-/
[17:47] <echinos> bastid_raZor: Ichanged my repository, it now says You have to download a total of 1042M. This download will take about
[17:47] <echinos> 24 minutes with your connection.
[17:47] <nixnoob> my lexmark printer prints only the first page and then stops is there any way to fix that?
[17:47] <bastid_raZor> echinos; by repo your mean what? you added some repo's or which mirror you download from?
[17:48] <bastid_raZor> echinos; yeah i get about 750KB/s on average from tthe mirror  i use
[17:48] <echinos> bastid_raZor: it's breezing thru them now... I was using ca.archive.ubuntu.ca one
[17:49] <amenado> CannibalM-> what error are you getting if any?
[17:49] <echinos> bastid_raZor: no, diferent mirror, yeah
[17:49] <echinos> i'm getting 744K now
[17:49] <echinos> er, 815
[17:49] <bastid_raZor> echinos; excellent.
[17:49] <echinos> tasty!
[17:51] <boxer-> hi
[17:52] <archman> guys how to remove all that files that have cedilla after filenames (ie: filename~.txt) ? They eat up space, no?
[17:52] <aschmack> rm *~*
[17:52] <aschmack> archman
[17:53] <archman> aschmack: will remove all files?
[17:53] <aschmack> with tildes yes
[17:53] <archman> aschmack: all files on system?
[17:53] <_Rambaldi_> are they called cedilla?
[17:53] <bastid_raZor> echinos; i use us.archinve.ubuntu .. hasn't failed me yet :)
[17:53] <aschmack> theyre tildes
[17:53] <archman> tilda yes
[17:53] <Seveas> _Rambaldi_, no, tilde
[17:53] <aschmack> and no, just in the current directory
[17:54] <Seveas> _Rambaldi_, a cedilla is the , in the ç
[17:54] <aschmack> doing the whole system might be dangerous
[17:54] <_Rambaldi_> thats what i thought from my little french
[17:54] <archman> aschmack: how to disable the creation of that files?
[17:54] <archman> theire like backups...
[17:54] <jmoiron> question about vim in ubuntu;  i'm using a modified version of the default .vimrc which is supposed to save my previous cursor position, but it's not working
[17:54] <echinos> bastid_raZor: I get better luck with mirrors north of the 49th parallel
[17:55] <sjoerd> tinin: wrong
[17:55] <jmoiron> the same .vimrc gives me the desired effect in debian.. are there extra vim packages i need to install? i got rid of vim-tiny and installed vim-full, but it still doesn't work
[17:55] <DAM43334> Need help with OpenVPN, I can connect to the VPN server (10.x network), but can not connect to machines connected to 192.x subnet.
[17:56] <tushyd> I want to update to the newest abiword but if I try to sudo apt-get install abiword it says I already have the newest version. (i have 2.4.6 and 2.6.0 just released)
[17:56] <bastid_raZor> echinos; location location location..
[17:56] <echinos> bastid_raZor: what I want to know is how to do the "best server" test from command line
[17:56] <Seveas> DAM43334, you need to set up IP forwarding on the vpn host
[17:56] <_Rambaldi_> what is the command to search for files in terminal
[17:56] <helkate87> should ubuntu do wlan0 config file automatically?
[17:56] <tushyd> _Rambaldi_, locate
[17:56] <echinos> _Rambaldi_: there are a few ways
[17:56] <Seveas> _Rambaldi_, slocate, mlocate or find
[17:56] <DAM43334> Seveas: i've already enabled ip forwarding.
[17:56] <archman> tushyd: try sudo apt-get update; and then install
[17:56] <helkate87> should ubuntu do wlan0 config file automatically?
[17:56] <Seveas> DAM43334, and set up the appropriate DNAT/SNAT rules or routing?
[17:56] <tushyd> archman, thanks I'll try that
[17:57] <cheesypieces> hi guys, does anyone have any idea why synaptic won't run? it comes up saying starting administrative application but then nothing happens
[17:57] <eth01> Regards, Dr Thomas B Markey MBChB MRCGP LLM Adv.Dip.Psych, Neurology Specialist
[17:57] <eth01> err ignore ^
[17:57] <bastid_raZor> echinos; that i don't know.. im' sure someone in here may be able to answer that.. or in #ubuntu+1
[17:57] <_Rambaldi_> thanks
[17:57] <archman> cheesypieses: i had that problem, you gotta mess with permissions...
[17:57] <DAM43334> Seveas: will google what you recommended thanks.
[17:57] <tushyd> archman, it says the same thing. abiword is already the newest version
[17:58] <cheesypieces> archman: how do i do that?
[17:58] <tushyd> have the ubuntu repositories been updated with the newest abiword?
[17:58] <archman> tushyd: then they didnt update the mirrors...sorry
[17:58] <Seveas> jmoiron, stick this in the .vimrc:
[17:58] <Seveas> if has("autocmd")
[17:58] <Seveas>   au BufReadPost * if line("'\"") > 0 && line("'\"") <= line("$")
[17:58] <Seveas>     \| exe "normal g'\"" | endif
[17:58] <Seveas> endif
[17:58] <FloodBot1> Seveas: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:58] <tushyd> archman, thanks anyways :)
[17:58]  * Seveas pets the FloodBot1
[17:58] <jmoiron> Seveas: i have that in my vimrc already
[17:58] <jmoiron> what i'm saying is that it doesn't work
[17:58] <echinos> what is #ubuntu+1?
[17:59] <Jimbo> Advise me a free shell account please someone.
[17:59] <archman> cheesypieces: i done that by chown -R archman:archman /home/archman, but you don't try that; you'll mess up your system; someone here will now; maybe bazhang; contact him...
[17:59] <_Rambaldi_> its a channel for hary heron
[17:59] <Seveas> jmoiron, is 'set nocompatible' in there as well? Did you update the vim alternative with update-alternatives?
[17:59] <echinos> _Rambaldi_: sweet!
[17:59] <jmoiron> vim alternative is set to vim.full
[18:00] <Seveas> Jimbo, look elsewhere for free shell accounts.
[18:00] <jmoiron> set nocompatible is done by debian.vim;  let me check if i am setting compatible (doubt it)
[18:00] <Seveas> jmoiron, (needless to say, it works fine for me)
[18:00] <jmoiron> i'm not.. neither is /usr/share/vimrc
[18:00] <archman> tushyd: try to build new version from source...

[18:02] <nixnoob> how can i print a file fromt he command line?
[18:02] <kuta> is there a way I can download wall paper like kubuntu?
[18:02] <jmoiron> what vim packages do you have installed?
[18:02] <mmm4m5m> Question: if I install ubuntu on USB HDD and want to run it on different hardware (not any hardware but 4-5 different PC) - are there any tools/hardware profiles. Do Will be most easy to create separate user for each PC? If possible I want both, to keep my user settings and when first time attached to new PC to run kind of hardware detection. Do we have it build in ubuntu/linux?

[18:05] <kuta> is there a auto install of wallpaper in ubuntu as compare to kubuntu?
[18:06] <vincent_> hi
[18:06] <Seveas> oi
[18:06] <Slart> kuta: there is a desklet that will  download a new wallpaper everynow and then
[18:06] <dromer> I changed my motherboard, did dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to change the driver to i810 .. I can subsequently start X and get a login (running KDE btw) .. but when I log in .. nothing happens for a few minutes and then I get back to login
[18:06] <jpkeels> anyone have any idea.. why with xcdroast when I run it with sudo the first time i get "start to scan for devices..." but then it never finishes (even after hours of waiting)
[18:06] <Slart> kuta: or a screenlet.. can't remember which
[18:07] <dromer> kdm.log ends with an EE that GLX can't be started (there,'s no GLX in my xorg.conf btw)
[18:08] <Datz> Slart, I don't know where to find the supported architectures
[18:08] <Datz> or what architectures Mac 8.6 is for that matter
[18:08] <Slart> Datz: you're asking me? you're the one that wants to install ubuntu to it =)
[18:08] <Seveas> Datz, does 'mac 8.6' mean MacOS 8.6?
[18:09] <xthegoat121x> When using a Torrent... does it DL different parts of the files at different times?
[18:09] <Datz> yes
[18:09] <Datz> sorry it does
[18:09] <Seveas> If so, you're probably running on a powerpc mac. There is ubuntu for powerpc on ports.ubuntu.com
[18:09] <Datz> great thanks seveas
[18:09] <DAM43334> ok, i'm trying to understand what route to add to my open vpn server.  route add -net (internal subnet) netmask 255.255.255 gw ??? What would be the gw?  The gw for the vpn or the gw for the internal subnet?
[18:10] <tinin> how can I see how much space is left in my harddrive? by command line
[18:10] <dromer> df -h
[18:10] <tinin> thanx
[18:10] <dromer> -h is for human readable :)
[18:11] <xthegoat121x> I've been waiting over 13 hours for this to DL.... it'
[18:11] <Chris12345> Hi I'm currently trying to setup my wireless settings on the laptop
[18:11] <xthegoat121x> *it's at 64% and I should be able to use at least some of the files
[18:11] <tinin> woa, I'm installing a minimal debian, and I have used 1gb yet in this old notebook
[18:11] <dromer> is that minimal? o.O
[18:11] <Chris12345> I get a connection but it disconnects only after some seconds :(
[18:12] <tinin> wich is the most ligtweight m$n instant messenger?
[18:12] <bluefoxx> what do i open a .daa file with? its supposed to be a cd image
[18:12] <dromer> tinin: irssi+bitlbee ;)
[18:12] <Seveas> tinin, bitlbee
[18:12] <Piero_Scarufii> Seveas did you get my query?
[18:13] <Piero_Scarufii> sorry to ask in here
[18:13] <tinin> thanx, i'll read about it
[18:13] <Piero_Scarufii> but you never responded
[18:13] <Seveas> Piero_Scarufii, no offtopic talk in here and yes I did get it
[18:13] <Piero_Scarufii> and it has been several hours
[18:13] <dromer> well, irssi isn't the lightest irc-client ..
[18:13] <Piero_Scarufii> sorry

[18:13] <Piero_Scarufii> sorry
[18:13] <PowerTeam> Hi
[18:14] <dromer> tinin: bitlbee is basically an irc-server that connects to various IM-protocols
[18:14] <PowerTeam> How do i change btw sound cards in ubuntu?
[18:14] <Seveas> PowerTeam, power off the machine. open it. Unplug one soundcard, insert another. close computer, start it up
[18:14] <Slart> PowerTeam: asoundconf is supposed to be able to do it.. or change whatever application is playing the sound
[18:15] <dromer> Seveas: lol
[18:15] <Slart> hmmm
[18:15] <PowerTeam> I cant remove both cards, since one is builtin laptop and the other is a pcmcia sound  card
[18:15] <kuta> is there a opensource free invoicing software for ubuntu?
[18:16] <PowerTeam> Il check out asoundconf
[18:16] <Slart> kuta: have you looked at gnucash? it might have some kind of addon..
[18:16] <kuta> thanks
[18:17] <genii> PowerTeam: issuing asoundconf   by itself at commandline gives you the usages, including how to make another card the default
[18:17] <Datz> I'm having trouble finding  ubuntu for powerpc at ports.ubuntu.com
[18:17] <Datz> can anyone direct me further?
[18:17] <Slart> PowerTeam: if I wasn't an ubuntu-user myself I'd say "well. pulse-audio is standard in gutsy and it should be able to do this... " but alas.. pulse has only been very very uncooperative when it comes to my computer
[18:17] <jpkeels> how do I get XCDRoast to recognize sony CDR drive.. it is stuck at "starting to scan for devices"
[18:18] <tonyyarusso> kuta: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=invoic&searchon=all&suite=gutsy&section=all maybe
[18:18] <jmoiron> ugh it works on the 8.4 beta but not in 7.10
[18:18] <jmoiron> my vimrc works everywhere but the computer i'm sitting at >_<;
[18:18] <dark> will anyone help me fix my soundcard? Im a complete noob to ubuntu im on version 7.10, i think its great but my audio isn't working.
[18:18] <ccc__>  hi
[18:18] <ccc__>  somebody can help me?
[18:18] <ccc__>  i have a problem with my ipod, itn't recognize by win xp
[18:18] <ccc__>  nobody can help me?
[18:18] <Seveas> Datz, sorry, ports.ubuntu.com apparently is only the package archive
[18:18] <FloodBot1> ccc__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:18] <kuta> tonyyarusso: thanks for your info
[18:18] <Seveas> Datz, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/7.10/release/
[18:19] <Slart> ccc__: that sounds like a windows question.. ##windows might be able to help youi
[18:19] <ccc__> o ecuse i cut aND PASTE
[18:19] <dromer> so, nobody any idea why KDM wants to start GLX and fails miserably?
[18:19] <Piero_Scarufii> Is there a dutch speaking ubuntu channel from belgium maybe?
[18:19] <ccc__> on ubutnu is the same my ipod isn't work
[18:19] <Slart> !nl
[18:19] <ubotu> Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl
[18:20] <dromer> !be
[18:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about be - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:20] <dark> i ran a lspci in the terminal and it has detected 2 soundcards
[18:20] <Piero_Scarufii> No i mean from Belgium not Netherlands
[18:20] <dromer> hehe
[18:20] <Slart> don't know if there are any users from Belgium.. but it's the only one I know of where they speak dutch
[18:20] <dromer> Piero_Scarufii: volgens mij niet, maakt het uit? (wil je vlaams praten? :P)
[18:20] <Seveas> the belgians are all in the dutch/french/german channels :)

[18:20] <mohbana> how do i set the no. of lines are scrolled when i use the scroll wheel on the mouse ... like as in system wide effects
[18:20] <Seveas> dromer, english only in here please...
[18:21] <bluefoxx> how do i burn a .daa disk image? i can't find any tools for it
[18:21] <dromer> how do I make kdm not want to start glx?
[18:22] <Piero_Scarufii> I am looking for a dutch alternative to #ubuntu-nl since it seems i wont be ever joining it again due to a never ever expiring ban so thats why my question is on topic thanks for your help though dromer i understand its belgian is similar to dutch but their mentality is why i would prefer a Belgium channel.
[18:22] <Slart> bluefoxx: it's a proprietary format I think.. poweriso perhaps?
[18:22] <Scunizi> bluefoxx, check out http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/12/05/open-extract-and-convert-daa-iso-and-bin-files-in-linux-with-free-poweriso-for-linux/
[18:22] <dromer> Piero_Scarufii: start one
[18:22] <Piero_Scarufii> good idea dromer
[18:22] <bluefoxx> sladen: Scunizi thanks dudes
[18:22] <Datz> Seveas, thanks
[18:22] <Scunizi> bluefoxx, np
[18:22] <dark> Can anyone help me fix my soundcard?
[18:22] <jpkeels> when I run XCDroast with sudo I get "starting to scan for devices..." and it never finishes.  How do I fix that?
[18:22] <dromer> Piero_Scarufii: and then make the maintainer of ubotu direct !be people to it :)
[18:23] <Scunizi> Piero_Scarufii, you english is very good.. stick around here.
[18:23] <vincent_> i'm trying to write a floppy image to a floppy disk, but my computer says "/dev/fd0: filesystem is read only" but my floppy isn't closed (as in, the write-thingy isnt set wrong)
[18:23] <PowerTeam_> i do asoundconf list and  i see the list of me soundcards, how do i choose the default one?
[18:23] <kuta> is there a similar program like "logmein " for ubuntu?
[18:23] <Seveas> vincent_, are you trying it as root or with sudo?
[18:23] <Piero_Scarufii> i run the dutch language ubuntu though Scunizi
[18:23] <Slart> PowerTeam_: asoundconf set-default-card
[18:23] <Scunizi> Piero_Scarufii, that would present a problem here.. :)
[18:24] <vincent_> Seveas, sudo
[18:24] <vincent_> i havent activated root
[18:24] <Seveas> vincent_, then it whould work.. odd
[18:24] <genii> bluefoxx: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=256084 for info on daa and ubuntu
[18:24] <dromer> vincent_: sudo -i gives a root terminal
[18:24] <Seveas> vincent_, what is the command you are trying?
[18:25] <PowerTeam_> I did: asoundconf set-default-card Audigy2     Do i have to reboot or will this work on the fly?
[18:25] <Slart> PowerTeam_: it should work on the fly
[18:25] <genii> vincent_: Whats the exact commad you are attempting?
[18:26] <vincent_> Seveas, dd if=fdboot.img of=/dev/fd0
[18:26] <ankit_> I just installed Firefox 3 beta, and since it uses the GTK theme, the tabs are huge... how would I customize the tab size?
[18:26] <Seveas> vincent_, I assume you mean 'sudo dd if..'
[18:26] <PriceChild> ankit_: the point is that they are the same as all the other tabs in your install... so change the gtk theme
[18:26] <dromer> ok, failsafe X-session does work, but I want my KDE :(
[18:26] <PowerTeam_> hmm, it didnt change anything to me gnome
[18:26] <vincent_> Seveas, yes
[18:26] <peleg> I am trying to listen to shoutcasts in amarok, and I keep getting "No suitable input plugin. This often means that the url's protocol is not supported. Network failures are other possible causes.". for example, in http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8002, which is one of the default shoutcasts in the software.
[18:26] <bram_> #ubuntu-nl
[18:27] <Seveas> vincent_, then I'm out of ideas :)
[18:27] <ankit_> PriceChild: Right... where would I do that?
[18:27] <vincent_> Seveas, ok
[18:27] <PowerTeam_> Ahh i found out
[18:27] <Seveas> !codecs | peleg you might be missing some codecs

[18:27] <PowerTeam_> Thx a lot for the help
[18:27] <Crembo> help! Radeon 9800, FGLRX user. bought new monitor. native resolution 1650x1050. I set it to such, but the monitor is smeared - checking its menus, ubuntu is actually outputting 1400x1050.. what to do?
[18:27] <PriceChild> ankit_: no idea sorry, probably some xml fun somewhere
[18:28] <steve3> hi
[18:28] <ankit_> PriceChild: Heh, awesome... thanks.
[18:28] <bram_> hello, can someone help me with ubuntu server?
[18:28] <Seveas> Crembo, maybe the card doesn't support that resolution
[18:29] <Crembo> Seveas: nope, friends running windows xp with that card using that resolution.
[18:29] <PowerTeam_> I just have reconfigure everything to alsa and now it works perfectly
[18:29] <jpkeels> why does XCDRoast get stuck on "starting to scan for devices..." and never finishes
[18:30] <sorbp> quick question is there xvid and x264 available that REALY works flawlessly under ubuntu?
[18:30] <Chousuke> yes?
[18:30] <Seveas> xcdroast.... last time I saw someone using that was 4 years ago :)
[18:30] <Crembo> sorbp: install "mplayer", it's all available from synaptic
[18:30] <sorbp> Crembo oki next step
[18:30] <PowerTeam_> Is there any midi software for linux wich is worth trying? i have usb ediro pcr500 keyboard
[18:31] <Seveas> PowerTeam_, timidity + freepats
[18:31] <sorbp> i had a problem today since i'm a compelate linux noob, i formated my usb stick to run a ubuntu install from it
[18:31] <Crembo> sorbp: use gmplayer command to play all your videos.
[18:31] <sorbp> BUT, it said mount the iso or rather put yourself in the same folder as the iso problem is i don't realy udnerstand linux filestructure
[18:31] <Crembo> sorbp: useful shortcuts: the "F" key switches to full screen, the arrow keys skip forward/backwards
[18:31] <Slart> Crembo: ati's site only lists the card as supporting 1600x1200 and 1920x1080 .. and some larger and some smaller resolutions..
[18:32] <sorbp> i'm used to the old windoes c:\blabla\etc
[18:32] <Crembo> Slart: yet still, I know for certain it works. plus, unlikely you can't force the card to dip slightly below 1600x1200. or maybe it's only the linux driver that's limited?
[18:33] <Crembo> sorbp: I don't know anything about installing from USB, just configuring the video player
[18:33] <Slart> Crembo: might be.. I've never owned one myself..
[18:33] <sorbp> ah ok
[18:33] <PowerTeam_> Seveas: does it support usb keyboards?
[18:33] <Kal_L> Hey guys, I got a newbie question.... is there any command on the shell that can add a character at the start and end of each line of a text file?
[18:33] <sorbp> Stroganoff you there?
[18:33] <Crembo> Slart: argh how frustrating.
[18:33] <Stroganoff> yes
[18:33] <Seveas> PowerTeam_, no idea - I've never used it myself
[18:33] <Seveas> Kal_L, sed
[18:33] <Gary_inNYC> hi, what does it mean when my comp logs myself out in the middle of watching a streaming video in firefox?  memory leak?
[18:33] <sorbp> oki can you help me, if i put something on my desktop where is it as a pth in the terminal?
[18:33] <sorbp> path?
[18:34] <PowerTeam_> Seveas: ok, il just check it out then
[18:34] <Kal_L> Seveas: Thanks... gotta read about it, hopefully I'll find out how
[18:34] <wapko> sorbp: /home/yourusername/Desktop/
[18:34] <Seveas> Kal_L, sed -e 's/.*/X&X/' -i /path/to/file --- replace X with the char to insert
[18:34] <Crembo> sorbp: it's at ~/Desktop
[18:34] <Slart> Gary_inNYC: logs out? or your X crashes?
[18:34] <Seveas> Kal_L, backup the file first :)
[18:34] <wapko> ..
[18:34] <Gary_inNYC> just logged me out
[18:35] <sorbp> so if i type /home/ubuntu/desktop/ that would be the desktop of the ubuntu live cd?
[18:35] <Seveas> Gary_inNYC, ddi you hit <ctrl><alt><bkSp> perhaps?
[18:35] <Slart> Gary_inNYC: I'm guessing the second option.. why would it log off? doesn't make sense
[18:35] <Seveas> sorbp, yes
[18:35] <sorbp> ok thans that will help tomorrow
[18:35] <Gary_inNYC> no, i was just watching a 2 hr streaming video in firefox while using IM
[18:35] <Slart> Gary_inNYC: what makes you think it logs out?
[18:35] <Kal_L> Seveas: Cheers :) Gonna give it a try and see if worked :) Thanks a bunch mate
[18:35] <azuki> is there a bash equivelent for IPCONFIG in the terminal ?
[18:35] <Seveas> Gary_inNYC, you might have hit a bug in the X server
[18:35] <Slart> azuki: ifconfig
[18:35] <Gary_inNYC> it brought me back to the Ubuntu login screen.
[18:35] <Seveas> azuki, ifconfig / iwconfig
[18:36] <Slart> Gary_inNYC: that's a crash
[18:36] <Gary_inNYC> ic
[18:36] <Slart> Gary_inNYC: X crashes.. and restarts.. and taddaaaa.. you're back at the login screen
[18:36] <Datz> Will the Kubuntu version run on a MacOS 8.6 with only 64MB or RAM?
[18:36] <Gary_inNYC> is that by design?
[18:36] <Stroganoff> sorbp its case sensitive. "Desktop", not "desktop" (use [TAB] auto completion in the terminal)
[18:36] <Seveas> azuki, also: ip / route
[18:36] <Gary_inNYC> i mean when x crashes that is...
[18:36] <Seveas> Gary_inNYC, the crash obviously isn't, but the restarting is
[18:36] <goudkov> hi guys. does anyone know how to get a HMAC-SHA1 hash using openssl from the command line?
[18:36] <Slart> Gary_inNYC: I guess.. it's better than just staying closed down I think
[18:36] <sorbp> thnx Stroganoff that might be it, b.t.w why isent there ny easier way to mount images in linux
[18:36] <sorbp> i mean something like deamontools
[18:36] <Gary_inNYC> true
[18:37] <sorbp> or just a built in script that allows you to right klick it in nautilus
[18:37] <Stroganoff> sorbp mount iso images? its pretty easy with fuseiso
[18:37] <Slart> !mountiso
[18:37] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » or use the "gmountiso" package - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[18:37] <Seveas> goudkov, 'man openssl' -- it's a long but good read
[18:37] <sorbp> Stroganoff i can#t install fueiso on the livecd now can i
[18:37] <Stroganoff> gmountiso, interesting
[18:37] <Datz> Will the Kubuntu version run on a iMac with only 64MB or RAM?
[18:37] <Gary_inNYC> any tentative explanations as to why it would crash while doing those tasks?
[18:37] <azuki> thnx
[18:37] <goudkov> Seveas: i did. but can't find the info that i need.
[18:38] <Slart> Gary_inNYC: check the logs.. /var/log/syslog is a good place to start
[18:38] <goudkov> Seveas: i see "dgst -sha1" but nothing about hmac
[18:38] <Seveas> Datz, difficult. The livecd definitely won't
[18:38] <Gary_inNYC> thx
[18:38] <Slart> Gary_inNYC: I guess the most common reason is graphics related
[18:38] <Datz> Seveas is that link you gave me for the live CD?
[18:38] <unicum> anyone here running ubuntu on a macbook? i just upgraded to hardy which already did me loads of good.. just one minor problem (or major?) i have no sound whatsoever

[18:42] <new1231038098> why dont you install it
[18:42] <Slart> unicum: huh? I just told you about the channel devoted to hardy support.. I can't help you with your soundcard

[18:43] <new1231038098> @ubotu ill just wait
[18:43] <blued> tinin, I only have a onboard soundcard and a boss distortion pedal.... just try around and if you know what you want, then start buying...
[18:44] <Geezle> I'm running 7.10 if it makes a difference, but my About file now has 8.04 in it
[18:44] <Datz>  Seveas, so I will have the option to just install it Kubuntu for power pc but not run the live cd?
[18:44] <Geezle> Did I kill it?
[18:44] <CJS3141> Is there an easy way to capture the raw PCM audio that is sent to my soundcard? I mean something maybe as simple as cat /dev/audio > rawsound? I would think it's possible, is it?
[18:44] <Seveas> Datz, even then I don't know if it'll be a fun experience. 64mb is an awful low amount of memory
[18:45] <genii> CJS3141: look into jackd
[18:45] <new1231038098> no its not
[18:45] <new1231038098> !!
[18:45] <new1231038098> 64 mb is just good
[18:45] <Datz> Seveas, so its not worth a try, or...?
[18:45] <Slart> Geezle: hmm.. sounds like you upgraded parts of your system.. I don't think you're supposed to just add a repos like that..
[18:45] <Seveas> Datz, well, trying won't hurt
[18:45] <Datz> it won't wipe the old OS then?
[18:45] <CJS3141> genii: OK, is that a program? jackd implies maybe some sort of daemon?
[18:46] <Seveas> Datz, it will need some space
[18:46] <tinin> blued, I've got no pedal, just a cheap amp. But I have seen this, supported on linux: http://cgi.ebay.com/Behringer-UCA202-audio-interface_W0QQitemZ310037996135QQihZ021QQcategoryZ41784QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem
[18:46] <Slart> Geezle: I don't know if you can do the complete upgrade.. or downgrade back to 7.10... but you might run into problems running half and half
[18:46] <Seveas> so it will need to shrink the macos
[18:46] <Datz> Seveas, ok thanks alot i will try it
[18:46] <Geezle> Slart: That's what I was afraid of!
[18:46] <genii> CJS3141: Yes, it's basically like a virtual patchcord
[18:46] <Piero_Scarufii> May i ask wether or not the cylinder desktop switching in compiz fusion has been added to the updates in ubuntu yet?
[18:46] <new1231038098> hey any one knows about some good CLI progs
[18:46] <Geezle> Any thoughts on a simple-ish solution?
[18:46] <CJS3141> genii: Interesting--is it available in the repositories or how do I get it?
[18:47] <blued> tinin, check http://linuxmusicians.com/viewforum.php?f=16&sid=263f4d3eec84ba2f5498471090e26cbf for hardware which works well with linux
[18:47] <Seveas> Geezle, update your entire sources.list to hardy and upgrade the rest
[18:47] <Slart> Geezle: I don't know of any easy fixes for that.. but ask the channel.. or check the forums for some hints
[18:47] <arvind_khadri> new1231038098, what do u mean by that??
[18:47] <Slart> Geezle: ah.. there you are.. =)
[18:47] <genii> CJS3141: I hae it listed in my apt-cache but have some nonstandard repos. ! moment I'll query ubotu
[18:48] <genii> !info jackd
[18:48] <ubotu> jackd (source: jack-audio-connection-kit): JACK Audio Connection Kit (server and example clients). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.103.0-6ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 93 kB, installed size 360 kB
[18:48] <Geezle> Seveas: Thanks, is there somewhere I can get a list of what I need to change, or is there a simple way to just update them all?
[18:48] <redwhitewaldo> is there a command i can run in terminal to find out what motherboard model i have in the computer?
[18:49] <Seveas> Geezle, pastebin your sources.list
[18:49] <Slart> redwhitewaldo: there is a command lshw.. but you might have to install it first
[18:49] <genii> redwhitewaldo: lshw
[18:49] <Slart> !info lshw
[18:49] <ubotu> lshw (source: lshw): information about hardware configuration. In component main, is standard. Version 02.10-4ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 300 kB, installed size 752 kB
[18:49] <Geezle> Seveas: K, thanks
[18:49] <redwhitewaldo> Slart: genii. thanks. (it's already installed somehow 8-)  )
[18:50] <Slart> redwhitewaldo: ah.. it might be installed by default.. I wasn't sure
[18:50] <genii> Yes, "standard" means part of ubuntu-desktop default
[18:50] <Geezle> Seveas: here it is: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62741/
[18:50] <tinin> blued haha, but that's empty for the moment. Would I be able to record the guitar if I just plug: gutar-pedal-pc this way? so that I can record with ardour or audacity?
[18:50] <Condoulo> I just got a new Logitech Microphone, an AK5370. It detects it, but it won't actually work. I am wondering why it won't
[18:50] <redwhitewaldo> Slart:  genii, that's a lot of text (from lshw). is there a way to do a "search" or "filter"?
[18:50] <CJS3141> genii: Great--Synaptic found it so I'll just go ahead and install. But just out of curiosity, why isn't it possible to do something as simple as a "cat /dev/audio > rawaudio" hack?
[18:51] <arvind_khadri> redwhitewaldo, grep the output
[18:51] <redwhitewaldo> oh, i found the part about "motherboard", but itd doesn't say anthying else
[18:51] <Slart> redwhitewaldo: the standard way is to use grep.. like this "sudo lshw | grep -i somethingtosearchfor"  -i means case insensitive
[18:51] <redwhitewaldo> Slart: thanks!
[18:51] <genii> redwhitewaldo: The very first parts are specific to motherboard/bios etc. so:   lshw | more             pipes it to more so you can look down the docment at your own pace
[18:51] <Seveas> Geezle, that's quite messy. Let me clean it up a bit, brb
[18:51] <Slart> redwhitewaldo: or you can do "sudo lshw > atextfile" and edit that textfile in your favourite editor
[18:51] <blued> init, I think so.. did you see the link in http://linuxmusicians.com/viewforum.php?f=16
[18:52] <genii> redwhitewaldo: Or Slart's recommended redirect to file then open with some editor
[18:52] <Geezle> Seveas: Haha thanks, I really appreciate it.  I didn't think I'd messed it up *that* bad
[18:52] <blued> init, the forum is a bit new...
[18:52] <Seveas> Geezle, oh it's not too bad, just a number of double entries
[18:54] <Seveas> Geezle, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62742/
[18:54] <Geezle> Seveas: Ahh...now I see, I didn't even realize
[18:54] <cheesypieces> hi guys, does anyone know of a way to ping a range of ip addresses?
[18:54] <redwhitewaldo> Slart: genii thanks so much.
[18:55] <Seveas> cheesypieces, ping -b (if they're in the same subnet and the firewall allows it)
[18:55] <Geezle> Seveas: So I just paste that in place of what's currently in my sources.list and let it do its thing?
[18:55] <adamh> I want to create a BIND server for which it is easy for me to add many zones, preferably dynamically. Does anybody have any tips?
[18:55] <Seveas> Geezle, yeah
[18:55] <Geezle> Thanks again, I really appreciate the help!
[18:55] <Seveas> adamh, powerdns is said to be easiest to setup for novices
[18:56] <Condoulo> I just got a new Logitech Microphone, an AK5370. It detects it, but it won't actually work. I am wondering why it won't. Anybody in here have any ideas as to why?>
[18:56] <Seveas> though bind isn't all that hard, but adding dynamic dns to it is tricky-ish
[18:56] <adamh> I've done dynamic DNS. But I don't know how to add *zones* dynamically.
[18:56] <cheesypieces> Seveas: how do i use it to scan for example 192.168.xxx.xxx?
[18:57] <Seveas> cheesypieces, 'man ping' (it can be seen as a network attack, hence I'm reluctant to 'support' it)
[18:57] <Slart> Condoulo: it's a USB microphone? does it need drivers?
[18:57] <Condoulo> Slart- Its a USB MIcrophone. I'm not sure about drivers. I mean it detected it in the sound preferences
[18:57] <cheesypieces> Seveas: ok, thank you
[18:57] <Seveas> adamh, depends on what you call dynamic... rndc reconfig makes it load new zones without restarting
[18:58] <adamh> Seveas: So I can just add the zone to the config file and reconfig? That sounds all right... *if* I can also put "include zones.d/*" in the BIND config. Can I? :)
[18:58] <Slart> Condoulo: seems you're not the only one having problems.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=529554
[18:58] <adamh> ("include /etc/bind/zones.d/*", I mean--as in, file-globbing so I can create a new file per zone)
[18:59] <Seveas> adamh, then you'd need to create 2 files per zone: the config and the actual zonefile
[18:59] <CJS3141> genii: Anyway, thanks for the help... gotta go, so cheers!
[18:59] <Seveas> why not have a simple config, only 3 lines per zone needed
[18:59] <Condoulo> Slart- hmm.... yeah, and I haven't really found anything helpful when searching Google
[19:00] <adamh> Seveas: It would be great to split into separate files, as it is tricky to automate managing all those zones in one big file.
[19:00] <adamh> Seveas: (It stands at around 50 zones right now)
[19:01] <Seveas> adamh, my master has serveral hundreds of zones, the config is 3 lines per zone, not too hard to maintain in a single file :)
[19:01] <mdgeorge> heh, I was so confused when I typed "hello" and got "unknown command: hello"
[19:01] <mdgeorge> I figured out that I was typing in the ChanServ popup though :)
[19:01] <Seveas> adamh, manpage for named.conf seems to indicate it doesn't support globbing in includes
[19:02] <adamh> Seveas: Do you have a program already made which manages named.conf? ("hey, can I bum a script?")
[19:02] <Slart> Condoulo: and here's a guy that claims it works nicely http://jyquentel.wordpress.com/category/ubuntu/   I guess it's  pro 1p, con 1p =)
[19:02] <mdgeorge> anyway, I was wondering if anyone can help: I have an lcd that's in the 1280x1024 aspect ratio, and the virtual terminals (ctrl-alt-f1) get cut off on the sides
[19:02] <Seveas> adamh, no, it's maintained manually (and stored in a version control system :))
[19:02] <adamh> Seveas: All right. Well, thanks :)
[19:02] <Seveas> adamh, it's not that often that one adds new zones (not in my case that is)
[19:03] <Codenut> Does any one know how set up dual monitors?
[19:03] <adamh> Seveas: More often for me. Anyway, I suppose I can make an update-named.conf script as a hack :)
[19:03] <Seveas> adamh, yeah, shouldn't be all that difficult :)
[19:03] <peeps[work]> i have a problem running vmware on Ubuntu host OS. it constantly want's me to run the configuration.  every time i restart the host OS it seems
[19:03] <cshadowrun> Lol ok, i'm on my last try now. I've been trying for the entire day to get my sound working properly, it seems that certain applications steal sound from other applications
[19:04] <cshadowrun> like if i am using VLC, flash won't work. If i'm using flash, VLC won't work.
[19:04] <cshadowrun> and xchats sound effects won't work at all.
[19:04] <peeps[work]> i get this message: vmware is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured for this system. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command: /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl.
[19:04] <Condoulo> Slart, sad thing is, I've already tried that
[19:04] <peeps[work]> anyone in here using vmware seen issues like this?
[19:04] <cshadowrun> If i can't get my sound working properly i'm gonna have to go back to windows :(
[19:05] <peeps[work]> i've already configured vmware like 4 times
[19:05] <Scunizi> mdgeorge, I see you're back.. I just found this on google.  http://www.nullamatix.com/increase-the-default-linux-console-terminal-resolution/
[19:05] <mdgeorge> Scunizi: thanks, I'll see if that helps
[19:06] <Scunizi> mdgeorge, don't know if you know this address.. but it helps me.. www.google.com/linux
[19:06] <pharoh> hey,is it correct to say obj-C is the same as C++?and can it be used to create graphical representations like C++?
[19:07] <Scunizi> peeps[work], run that command using sudo
[19:07] <mdgeorge> Scunizi: I didn't know about that.  cool beans
[19:07] <Seveas> pharoh, no.
[19:07] <peeps[work]> Scunizi, i do.  it doesn't even run without sudo IIRC
[19:07] <mdgeorge> Scunizi: just out of curiousity, what did you search on?  my (brief) efforts weren't as successful
[19:07] <peeps[work]> Scunizi, or do you mean to run vmware as sudo?
[19:08] <pharoh> Seveas: no to both?
[19:08] <Scunizi> mdgeorge, terminal resolution
[19:09] <Scunizi> peeps[work], nope just the reconfig line..
[19:09] <skimat> would like some infos on the creation of brainstorm
[19:09] <Seveas> no to the first, 'dunno, but doubt it' to the second :)
[19:09] <peeps[work]> Scunizi, yes, i run it as sudo, and then I can use vmware, but as soon as I restart, it forces me to run it all over again, it's really annoying
[19:09] <jonaskoelker> Hi all.  I need help with my wireless networking.  It doesn't get an adress by dhcp, and I can't seem to send packets on it.  I've tried adding a route for <IP_ADDRESS> on eth1 (with no other routes to that host except the default), opening wireshark, pinging <IP_ADDRESS>; no packets.  What can I do to make my wireless card work?
[19:09] <Condoulo> ok, apparently I did have to change the volume settings. But now I still get this error: gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile = chat: Could not open resource for writing
[19:10] <swissfish> hi folks. i just set up my computer with gutsy. i tried for about 50 times, to get my ATI card working, fglrxinfo is still showing MESA Drivers.... can anybody help me?
[19:10] <jonaskoelker> lspci says it's there (Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG ...)
[19:10] <Scunizi> peeps[work], did you install vmware server or player.. I'm assuming server.. also when you installed did you install the entire package using sudo?
[19:11] <pharoh> Seveas:ahh.
[19:11] <jonaskoelker> when I press the power button for the card, there's a popup saying the bluetooth device has been {switched off,made discoverable}, so I'm guessing the card's power and antenna works
[19:11] <Scunizi> peeps[work], you there.. I was getting a lot of lag on this end.. netsplit? oh well.. did you get my last post about server vs. player?
[19:11] <Geezle> Well, I updated my sources.list and that seemed to all go fine, some more things updated, but now my Restricted Drivers Manager just crashes when I try to open it, and my screen resolution only gives me the same few options.  Any thoughts?
[19:12] <Slart> Condoulo: huh? try running something else that uses the microphone.. audacity.. or the plain sound recorder
[19:12] <graabein> where do i find the source code for eye of gnome? i've installed it through apt and i want to see the code
[19:13] <swissfish> nobody an idea? :(
[19:13] <Seveas> Geezle, install the following packages: ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-desktop linux-generic
[19:13] <Seveas> Geezle, and do apt-get dist-upgrade
[19:13] <jonaskoelker> anyone got an idea what to try out to work out how to make my wireless *not*work become a *net*work? ;)
[19:13] <cristi1990> how do i change permissions of a folder. it says owner: nobody, so i can't modify it
[19:13] <Scunizi> graabein, http://www.icewalkers.com/Linux/Software/518600/Eye-of-Gnome.html
[19:13] <Geezle> Seveas: okie, thanks!
[19:13] <Piero_Scarufii> How do i spellcheck these words in ubuntu: soelaas sinterklaas pieterbaas ?
[19:13] <Condoulo> Slart- what happens is when I test my mic in Sound Preferences, it works, but apps like Skype won't use my Mic. As well as the fact when I do test it, I get that error
[19:13] <Slart> cristi1990: sudo chown yourusername foldername doesn't work?
[19:13] <swissfish> cristi1990, log in as root
[19:13] <swissfish> and chmod it to 777
[19:14] <swissfish> or chown
[19:14] <Kal_L> Another question... how can I take lines on a text file, that contain a certain word and copy only those lines to a new text file
[19:14] <cristi1990> swissfish: in terminal? or nautilus?
[19:14] <FFEMTcJ> I have a 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT- DDR3 that im trying to get to work with two monitors.. Ubuntu doesn't seem to be recognizing that a second monitor is plugged in..
[19:14] <swissfish> terminal
[19:14] <Griffon26> How long would it approximately take for Ubuntu to have the latest versions of libxml2 & libxslt that were released this week available somewhere (like universe maybe)? I'm a Gnome Planner developer and I am wondering if making those versions required deps would cause much delay in availability of Planner on Ubuntu.
[19:14] <pharoh> so what can obj-C be used for?
[19:14] <FFEMTcJ> Any idea how to fix?
[19:14] <graabein> Scunizi: thanks
[19:14] <Scunizi> graabein, np
[19:14] <cristi1990> swissfish: ok logged in now what?
[19:14] <swissfish> chown -R <username> <dir>
[19:15] <Condoulo> Slart- Audacity properly uses my Microphone, but other apps won't
[19:15] <cristi1990> swissfish: ok..
[19:15] <Slart> Condoulo: very strange.. don't really know what makes it do that.. but I'm not very good with alsa and sound.. perhaps someone else knows
[19:15] <StPatrick> I have a Realtek RTL8187b Wifi card, and I am trying to understand how to get Ubuntu to recognize it. Can someone help me out?
[19:15] <Condoulo> Slart- ah. And the odd thing about Audacity, is I can only record in mono, not stereo
[19:16] <Slart> Condoulo: well.. is it a stero microphone?
[19:16] <swissfish> nobody ever fixed a messed up fglrx installation in here? i seriously doubt that :(
[19:16] <Scunizi> Griffon26, you really should be talking on the .dev list.. not sure where to direct you for that but the email address is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>although you might be filtered if you're not a member.
[19:17] <Scunizi> Condoulo, you mean only recording on the left or right? or do you have 2 mics and a stereo mic input or 2 sound cards and trying to mix the two?
[19:17] <cristi1990> swissfish: can u give me an example pls (lol sorry) but it didn't work i think
[19:17] <OsamaK> Hello, can I use this file <http://uk.real.com/player/select/> to install RealPlayer on Ubuntu?
[19:18] <Scunizi> peeps[work], did you totally disappear?
[19:18] <cristi1990> swissfish: i needed to chage the permissions
[19:18] <OsamaK> 'Linux i686'
[19:18] <peeps[work]> Scunizi, sorry, was in restroom
[19:18] <Condoulo> Scunizi, I should only have one mic enable right now (There is also one built into my webcam), and my realtek audio is baked onto the motherboard.  Now I am trying to use this new USB Mic I just got in Ubuntu, it detects it, it works in Sound Prefs, and in Audacity I can only record in Mono. I also can't get it working in uStream
[19:18] <Geezle> Seveas: Those packages were already installed according to Synaptic, but I reinstalled them just to play it safe, then I did the apt-get dist-upgrade but there was nothing upgraded
[19:18] <swissfish> christil: open terminal. type: sudo chmod 777 <dir/file>, e.g. chmod 777 /etc/mytestdir
[19:18] <tinin> how can I mount an usb reader via command line? How do I know how it is called. I think it should be like /dev/sda1
[19:19] <peeps[work]> Scunizi, i am using vmware server
[19:19] <Geezle> I think I broke it good
[19:19] <StPatrick> I have a Realtek RTL8187b Wifi card, and I am trying to understand how to get Ubuntu to recognize it. Can someone help me out?
[19:19] <Condoulo> Scunizi, actually, for any recording option in Sound Preferences I get this error: gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile = chat: Could not open resource for writing
[19:19] <Slart> tinin: you can look in /dev/disk/by-uuid/  ... or run sudo blkid
[19:19] <peeps[work]> Scunizi, i honestly can't remember the method I used for the initial install
[19:19] <Scunizi> Condoulo, single mics will record in mono.. you might want to try the audacity irc channel if they have one.. I don't know what that error is..
[19:20] <Condoulo> Scunizi, oh. Ok.
[19:20] <tinin> Slart thanx
[19:20] <Scunizi> peeps[work], well.. you should have build-essential installed for the server install.. I choose all the defaults that come up during the install. maybe that makes a difference.. you might try purging it and reinstalling.. but you gotta make sure you get the config files deleted
[19:20] <khakane> could anyone give me a hand with doing a remote X desktop connection from windows to a machine behind NAT? ive using a tunnel in Putty and just not getting an asnwer
[19:20] <dromer> gah, still can't get KDE to start :/
[19:21] <henry_> s'crackin
[19:21] <StPatrick> I have a Realtek RTL8187b Wifi card, and I am trying to understand how to get Ubuntu to recognize it. Can someone help me out? I am completely new to Ubuntu, and not very computer savvy.
[19:21] <cristi1990> swissfish: root@cristi-desktop:/opt/lampp# chmod 777 /opt/lampp/htdocs and it still says owner: nobody
[19:21] <DRebellion> khakane, you have forwarded the port to the router correctly, yes?
[19:21] <khakane> DRebellion: i can ssh to my machine behind the NAT, yes
[19:21] <jonaskoelker> can anyone help me with with my wireless internet?
[19:21] <peeps[work]> Scunizi, ok, thanks
[19:21] <khakane> and i setup a tunnel in my ssh client to do 5900 local -> 5900 in the tunnel
[19:22] <khakane> but it just aint connecting
[19:22] <DRebellion> khakane, i have to go, sorry. good luck though
[19:22] <khakane> telnet localhost 5900 or telnet 10.whatever.ip 5900 gets an answer
[19:22] <dromer> can anyone with X-skills help me make KDM not try to start GLX? :/
[19:22] <Scunizi> khakane, I don't use putty but I do know that is for connecting with ssh.. if you just want a graphical connection tightvnc will work as long as the router on the other end is convigured to pass the appropriate port to the right machine.
[19:23] <khakane> Scunizi: the appropriate port = 5900?
[19:23] <Scunizi> peeps[work], I hope it works..
[19:23] <Bug2000> How do you force reinstall of a package?
[19:23] <Scunizi> khakane, yes.
[19:23] <swissfish> cristi1990, you need to decide; either you want to change the permissions or the owner
[19:23] <Bug2000> [Command line]
[19:23] <khakane> Scunizi: i tried that with no dice, i forward the port, telnet to it fro mthe outside and get blank screen
[19:23] <henry_> damn i love this OS.
[19:23] <dromer> khakane: what do you use for xserver? xming?
[19:23] <Xorothal> hi guys, when trying to run amsn 0.97 (ubuntu gutsy) I get the following: http://pastebin.com/m54fe090e
[19:23] <Scunizi> khakane, try 5700
[19:23] <cheesypieces> hi guys, how do i find out my ip address in a terminal?
[19:23] <cristi1990> swissfish: the owner i guess, sorry
[19:24] <swissfish> to change the owner you type: sudo chown <username> <directory> e.g. "sudo chown user /etc/mitestdir
[19:24] <dromer> cheesypieces: ifconfig
[19:24] <cheesypieces> dromer: thanks
[19:24] <krammer_> i cant empty the trash because i dont have permissions what do i need to do?
[19:24] <jonaskoelker> cheesypieces: ifconfig <interface> | grep inet
[19:24] <StPatrick> I have a Realtek RTL8187b Wifi card, and I am trying to understand how to get Ubuntu to recognize it. Can someone help me out? I am completely new to Ubuntu, and not very computer savvy.
[19:24]  * jonaskoelker is too slow
[19:24] <Scunizi> khakane, sorry.. just looked it up .. 5800 & 5900

[19:25] <TMind> Hi Leude
[19:25] <StPatrick> are you trying to pipe it to me?
[19:25] <swissfish> folks, i reinstalled th ATI prop drivers, bus still getting this OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
[19:25] <swissfish> . any help?
[19:25] <aschmack> there we go
[19:25] <StPatrick> aschmack,  Yea, thanks I read a lot of that.
[19:25] <Scunizi> krammer_, you need to be root because something in the trash has root permissions only.. gksudo nautilus.. hit CTRL H to view hidden files and navigate to your trash in /home.. delete what's there then go to the root file system and find the root trash and delete the stuff there.
[19:25] <cristi1990> swissfish: i want to change the owner..
[19:26] <TMind> can anyone suggest a keyboard with notebook-keys and background lighting ??
[19:26] <StPatrick> aschmack,  I'm capable of searching the internet. I'm in here because i seek assistance.
[19:26] <swissfish> cristi1990, to change the owner you type: sudo chown <username> <directory> e.g. "sudo chown user /etc/mitestdir
[19:26] <khakane> Scunizi: now i have 5900 forwarded, from y outside machine, i can telnet and get an answer, but VNC stioll wont connect
[19:26] <aschmack> okay StPatrick most people can't do that
[19:26] <Moduliz0r> Hi, is there any way to install a bootloader on a USB drive (like Grub) and then use that to boot from an iso image on the USB drive?
[19:26] <khakane> oooo i got it
[19:26] <Scunizi> khakane, is the machine behind the nat running ubuntu?
[19:26] <StPatrick> aschmack,  search the web? lol yea...
[19:27] <khakane> Scunizi: yes
[19:27] <Piero_Scarufii> Scunizi are you italian?
[19:27] <StPatrick> aschmack,  Well I got my wifi workign in Mandriva, but I'm unfamiliar with Ubuntu
[19:27] <Scunizi> khakane, and you went to System/Preferances/Remote Desktop and enabled  remote connections.. No.. not italian but lived in Naples for 2 years. :) loved it!
[19:27] <piedoggie> I'm trying to make the open VPN configuration package delivered by IP cop work with the network manager.  It doesn't seem to want to import the configuration file and it doesn't tell me why (as far as I know)
[19:27] <aschmack> have you installed ndiswrapper yet?
[19:27] <khakane> Scunizi: yea, i can connect to my remote now using straight ip:port in vnc
[19:28] <Scunizi> Piero_Scarufii, nope.. I lived in Naples for 2 years in 1975-77 .. loved it.
[19:28] <khakane> is there any other client to use that is cleaner?  I have the ISO on a USB drive...
[19:28] <Slart> khakane: try freenx
[19:28] <Scunizi> khakane, ssh is a funny animal..
[19:28] <aschmack> StPatrick,  have you installed ndiswrapper yet?
[19:28] <khakane> Slart: for windows?
[19:28] <StPatrick> aschmack,  Doesnt work.
[19:28] <Slart> khakane: I think they have a client for windows too
[19:28] <khakane> i will try it out
[19:28] <aschmack> StPatrick, any error messages?
[19:28] <StPatrick> aschmack,  I've tried every windows driver I can find. Just keeps telling my i dont have a device for it.
[19:29] <StPatrick> telling me *
[19:29] <gaucho> I bought a microphone, but It's not working on my gutsy. I have an asus p5b-Plus motherboard, with standard desktop (amd64) installation. I tried to put the microphone volume to max in alsamixer, but nothing happens. What can I do?
[19:29] <gaucho> (it's working fine on ms win)
[19:29] <b0ef> ehlo
[19:29] <b0ef> got an ubuntu box that I'm compiling some code that depends on javax.persistence. I'm not sure which package in ubuntu that ships these files; any idea?
[19:30] <StPatrick> aschmack,  In Mandriva, I had to compile a driver.
[19:31] <Moduliz0r> How would I install Ubuntu from the ISO? I have no OS on the computer and no spare CDs, I do have USB memory drives though
[19:31] <lordleemo> StPatrick: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=709802 according to that you need to use the win 98 driver
[19:31] <StPatrick> lordleemo,  Tried it. Doesnt work.
[19:31] <StPatrick> lordleemo, Ubuntu does not see my wifi card.
[19:31] <gnuth> back
[19:31] <StPatrick> lordleemo,  Yes, it's turned on :P
[19:31] <GIn> StPatrick: what chipset?
[19:32] <StPatrick> RTL8187b
[19:32] <aschmack> StPatrick, http://briancantin.blogspot.com/2007/11/hacking-rtl8187b-on-linux.html like that?
[19:32] <GIn> StPatrick: have you tried it with ndiswrapper?
[19:32] <StPatrick> GIn, Yes.
[19:32] <khakane> Slart: it seems nxclient wants to actually login to X
[19:32] <gnuth> GIn: Touqen, kidding, there is an error :p. PHP Fatal error:  Cannot redeclare errhandler() (previously declared in /var/www/html/config/includes.php:3) in /var/www/html/config/includes.php on line 3
[19:32] <khakane> and it seems the setup i have now is just lame remote watching
[19:32] <khakane> not actually logging into X
[19:33] <StPatrick> aschmack, Yea, last time i tried this, i was a complete linux noob, and couldnt make sense of that link. Let me try it again, and get back to you. Thanks.
[19:33] <GIn> StPatrick: how can you tell the card doesn't work with Ubuntu?
[19:33] <StPatrick> GIn, I didnt say it doesnt work. I said Ubuntu doesnt see it. It's not listed anywhere.
[19:33] <Slart> khakane: ah.. well.. it might not be what you want then.. sorry
[19:33] <jonaskoelker> hey all... anyone to care help me with my wireless networking woes?
[19:33] <urthmover> sampo
[19:34] <StPatrick> jonaskoelker, Heh you and me both
[19:34] <khakane> Slart: well, you can setup X to be real, remotely, right? like real users have to login at a login screen
[19:34] <GIn> StPatrick: but does it list your device when you run the command iwconfig or ifconfig?
[19:34] <khakane> instead of depending on someonebeing logged into the machine already?
[19:34] <StPatrick> GIn, No....
[19:34] <Moduliz0r> if I dd if=/path/to/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/my-usb-memthing will I then be able to boot and install from my USB drive?
[19:34] <Slart> khakane: perhaps.. that's the way X is supposed to work, afaik.. at least in a linux to linux scenario
[19:35] <Scunizi> StPatrick, I just found on google that the b version isn't recognized by the drivers.. there is a solution.. http://briancantin.blogspot.com/2007/11/hacking-rtl8187b-on-linux.html
[19:35] <GIn> StPatrick: it should work http://quilombo.wordpress.com/2008/03/07/realtek-rtl8187b-working-in-ubuntu-710-using-ndiswrapper/
[19:35] <StPatrick> aschmack,  Lmao....
[19:36] <Coggz> http://pastebin.com/m46919429 what is wrong with this? X wont start with it can anyone see problems?
[19:36] <StPatrick> GIn,  Thanks. it doesn't.
[19:36] <StPatrick> GIn,  The image there, is of the external Realtek 8187b
[19:36] <Putrinet> ow
[19:36] <StPatrick> GIn,  Mine is built in Wifi. It';s not an external card I bought.
[19:36] <GIn> StPatrick: it should not matter.. same chipet
[19:37] <StPatrick> GIn,  ok, well, I'll just try again then
[19:37] <GIn> StPatrick: whenu run ndiswrapper -l, do you read device present?
[19:37] <Stevethepirate> Um, is there a way to take all incoming data on a port, and redirect to a local port? I have a ssh tunnel on a pc, i want all pc's on my network to be able to use that tunnel as a proxy [the tunnel is to a socks proxy]
[19:37] <StPatrick> afk while i try it again
[19:37] <GIn> StPatrick: do you have xp installed?
[19:38] <Seveas> Geezle, still here?
[19:38] <gnuth> Stevethepirate: @sho9s use man finch it has alot
[19:38] <Geezle> Seveas: Yup, just poking around the forums trying to find out what I can do
[19:38] <Seveas> Geezle, if apt-get says there's nothing to dist-upgrade, then you're done. Reboot, just to make sure
[19:38] <eax> Can anyone tell me how to install a GDM Theme from Gnome-look?
[19:38] <Geezle> K brb
[19:38] <Odd-rationale> Hello! is there a way to run "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" at boot up or log in?
[19:39] <Stevethepirate> gnuth: um?
[19:39] <aschmack> yes Odd-rationale hold on
[19:39] <Scunizi> GIn, have you seen this link for the RT version B wireless.. you don't need ndiswrapper just a recompilation of realtec's driver.. the b version driver isn't recognized by the current drivers for that adaptor.
[19:39] <Odd-rationale> asheron: sure!
[19:39] <Scunizi> GIn, sorry.. http://briancantin.blogspot.com/2007/11/hacking-rtl8187b-on-linux.html
[19:39] <GIn> Odd-rationale: put ndiswrapper in /etc/modules
[19:39] <aschmack> yeah that
[19:39] <Odd-rationale> aschmack: sure.
[19:39] <Seveas> eax, system -> admin -> login window
[19:39] <GIn> Odd-rationale: that should do the job
[19:39] <dromer> does anybody know how to make KDM not want to use GLX?
[19:39] <eax> Seveas: Thanks a lot :)
[19:40] <Odd-rationale> GIn: ok thanks! will try
[19:40] <Scunizi> dromer, turn your "effect" down to "NONE" .. that may do it.
[19:40] <gnuth> Stevethepirate: what
[19:40] <juan_> hello
[19:41] <dromer> Scunizi: I don't have any "effect" and I'm not in X (I can't log into KDE for sombe reason kdm.log says an EE with GLX being started and I don't know why
[19:41] <MrBill> Does anyone know if there is a solution other than running Wine/WindowsMediaplayer for getting downloaded TV/Movies streamed to an xbox 360?
[19:41] <crdlb> dromer: in what way does kdm use GLX?
[19:41] <GIn> Scunizi: I don't know. I don't have that chipset. I have much better expereince with ndiswrapper+win driver than those that Ubuntu uses
[19:41] <dromer> crdlb: I don't know
[19:41] <GIn> Scunizi: but just use whatever works
[19:41] <dromer> crdlb: afaik I don't have compiz/beryl or anything running
[19:41] <crdlb> dromer: oh, use pastebinit to pastebin the error
[19:41] <khakane> ok i figured something out, all of these guides seem to tell you how to setup REMOTE DESKTOP for X-windows, but i need actual, real remote X logins using users on the machine, not a VNC style remote
[19:41] <StPatrick> GIn, I wish I had XP installed. XP Won't install on this laptop
[19:41] <dromer> crdlb: how can I use pastebin if I'm not in x?
[19:42] <Benji1> is there an equivalent of the windows program 'Eraser' for linux?
[19:42] <crdlb> dromer: use pastebinit
[19:42] <GIn> StPatrick: do you have the win driver for your card. you need the .inf and .sys files
[19:42] <dromer> er .. never heard of it
[19:42] <Scunizi> dromer, you should be able to "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and but a # at the beginning of the line mentioning GLX.. then .. sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start
[19:42] <aschmack> khakane, http://ayaz.wordpress.com/2006/09/23/remote-x-login-gdm-xdmcp-xmins-oh-my/
[19:42] <khakane> aschmack: i will check it out, thanks
[19:42] <dromer> Scunizi: there is no line mentioning GLX
[19:42] <GIn> and probably .bin..
[19:42] <crdlb> Scunizi: nah, it doesn't work like that anymore
[19:42] <danand> !pastebinit | dromer
[19:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebinit - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:43] <Scunizi> dromer, pastebinit will allow you to do that..
[19:43] <dromer> ok
[19:43] <danand> bah
[19:43] <dromer> lemme see
[19:43] <Scunizi> crdlb, how does it work now.. ? I get confused after DApper
[19:43] <crdlb> Scunizi: since gutsy, you don't have to explicitly load modules
[19:43] <khakane> aschmack: is there a guide that is ubuntu specific?
[19:43] <crdlb> X loads glx and such automatically
[19:44] <aschmack> not that i know of khakane
[19:44] <Scunizi> crdlb, k.. so how does dromer turn off glx.. from terminal?
[19:44] <Geezle> Seveas: That was a big fat no dice.  The Restricted Drivers Manager still craps the bed as soon as I start it and I get a Crash Report popping up
[19:45] <crdlb> Scunizi: generally, you would just fix whatever is wrong with glx
[19:45] <crdlb> or you could use vesa
[19:45] <Seveas> Geezle, hmm...
[19:45] <Geezle> This is starting to make me a little crazy...it wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't stuck with an awful refresh rate
[19:46] <murlidhar> can somebody tell me how to embed the terminal using devilspie or something else .
[19:46] <dromer> Scunizi: how do I use pastebinit?
[19:46] <urthmover> sampo?
[19:46] <murlidhar> can somebody tell me how to embed the terminal in the desktop using devilspie or something else .
[19:46] <Scunizi> dromer, there you go.. maybe using the vesa driver crdlb mentioned is the ticket to fixing the rest of it.. use the sudo nano line from before and replace the driver mentioned with vesa
[19:46] <urthmover> Sampo was a magical artifact constructed by Ilmarinen that brought good fortune to its holder; nobody knows exactly what it was supposed to be.
[19:46] <arvind_khadri> hey how do u find drivers for my logitech quickcam
[19:46] <StPatrick> GIn,  Yea...
[19:46] <Scunizi> dromer, pastebinit. I'll check brb
[19:46] <Geezle> Would I be better off just dusting off my 7.10 CD and starting from scratch?  I'd hate to do it, but this is going beyond my knowledge
[19:46] <danand> !webcams | arvind_khadri

[19:47] <mkquist> anyone know if the new flash update causes any problems?
[19:47] <danand> hope that helps **
[19:47] <arvind_khadri> danand, thanks
[19:47] <GIn> Geezle: what is beyond your knowledge?
[19:47] <murlidhar> can somebody tell me how to embed the terminal in the desktop using devilspie or something else .
[19:47] <aschmack> how do i enable emerald window themer
[19:48] <ikonia> murlidhar: embed the terminal in the desktop ?
[19:48] <murlidhar> ikonia, yes
[19:48] <ikonia> murlidhar: that sounds like some fancy compiz/desktop effect
[19:48] <murlidhar> hi ikonia
[19:48] <jonaskoelker> aschmack: run emerald
[19:48] <jonaskoelker> aschmack: but--I think compiz will do it automatically
[19:48] <dromer> Scunizi: woot, the vesa driver works!
[19:48] <GIn> murlidhar: http://ubuntology.com/2007/10/25/howto-embedded-terminal-on-your-gutsy-desktop/
[19:48] <arvind_khadri> danand, i meant where can i find the drivers it jus tells me whether its compatible or not
[19:48] <cool> aschmack, you need to install it first,
[19:48] <aschmack> jonaskoelker, "emerald: Could not acquire decoration manager selection on screen 0 display ":0.0""
[19:48] <aschmack> i did
[19:49] <Geezle> Gin: I accidentally installed a Hardy repository and did a partial upgrade...got my sources.list all straightened out with the help of Seveas and it's all Hardy now, but my resolution is screwy and the Restricted Drivers Manager crashes as soon as I try to start it up
[19:49] <GIn> murlidhar: or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202249&highlight=terminal+desktop
[19:49] <Seveas> Geezle, did you reboot after the latest upgrading?
[19:49] <GIn> Geezle: I would do a reinstall
[19:49] <jonaskoelker> aschmack: try ps -Fe | grep emerald to see if it's already running
[19:49] <jonaskoelker> aschmack: otherwise, try emerald --replace
[19:49] <Geezle> Seveas: Yup
[19:49] <Geezle> still crashes
[19:50] <crdlb> dromer: ok, pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old now
[19:50] <Geezle> everything else seems fine so far though
[19:50] <Scunizi> dromer, cool.. pastebinit use is like this..  cat <path/file> | pastebinit -b http://pastebin.com
[19:50] <aschmack> jonaskoelker, --replace did the trick
