[12:01] <orionrobots> skywalker; the difference is that this is the paste for *your* message
[12:01] <sy677> hi, does anyone know about vpn with pptp?
[12:01] <orionrobots> Skywalker: right that may be simple
[12:01] <skywalker> hehe
[12:01] <orionrobots> skywalker: try "sudo modprobe cs46xx"
[12:02] <skywalker> ok
[12:02] <colbert> PriceChild: I keep getting this error when I run kiba-dock: "(kiba-dock:7803): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_str_has_suffix: assertion `str != NULL' failed"
[12:02] <orionrobots> skywalker: it will ask for your password.
[12:02] <Mach3> I have to register (by MAC addr) to get on the network at my school.  But i've learned that linux gives a different ip address than windows.  Any way i can set it to be the same, so that i dont have to re-register everytime i switch OSs?
[12:02] <oddie> snowman3388: How did you go? I think you need to setup grub again somehow....typign 'grub' or something
[12:02] <PriceChild> colbert, its buggy :)
[12:02] <orionrobots> Mach3: Is this a static or dhcp address?
[12:03] <skywalker> ok
[12:03] <erUSUL> Mach3: MAC adress does not change between OSes
[12:03] <orionrobots> Mach3: If windows is using a static address, then chances are you should set it up the same way in linux.
[12:03] <Mach3> orion: static more or less... its assigned by dhcp, but its always the same
[12:03] <dejx> hello
[12:03] <dejx> where to change language in ubuntu?
[12:03] <javiolo> hi, anyone is running the latest rtorrent ? Id like to know how to get it on 6.10
[12:03] <dejx> more detail, xubuntu
[12:03] <orionrobots> skywalker: what was the result of that with sudo?
[12:04] <skywalker> notheing it just droped back down
[12:04] <Mach3> erUSUL: thats what i though, that it was hardware based.  but it shows up differently, and i have to reregister as if im on a diff pc when i change os's
[12:04] <Avalon_> Can someone explain to me why I can't get my Edgy DVD to boot? It goes through and dumps me at an inftrafs (spelled wrong) Console and I don't know where to go from there, but I know that's not right. I've reburnt the dvd 3 times from three different ftp images, so I know that's not it.
[12:04] <skywalker> to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[12:04] <orionrobots> skywalker: Any error messages?
[12:04] <Ktron> Any suggestions to where I should look/turn to/try next to get X working with ubuntu 6.10? the livecd failed, and Xorg -configure didn't create a config that worked either
[12:04] <skywalker> no
[12:04] <chamberlain> avaln, does your computer support dvds?  silly question , i know
[12:04] <orionrobots> skywalker: if not - that is a good sign. Try "lsmod | grep cs46xx"
[12:04] <skywalker> ok
[12:05] <colbert> PriceChild: What can I do? The icons are bouncing but the dock is a wierd blueish wierd design
[12:05] <Mach3> orion: both windows and linux are set to obtain everything automatically
[12:05] <Avalon_> Sure does chamberlain reads and writes them.
[12:05] <dejx> where to change language in ubuntu?
[12:05] <chamberlain> ok, avalon, does it give any errors?
[12:05] <PriceChild> colbert, right click it for a menu to change things
[12:05] <erUSUL> Mach3: maybe you can set the MAC in linux to be the same as in windows... check google
[12:05] <jrib> dejx: at the gdm login screen, press the options button
[12:05] <Avalon_> Not that I can see, it goes to the boot screen, loads everything, hits some kinda hardware problem and kills off.
[12:05] <Smashcat> Hi, anyone here use amavis with ubuntu? I have some legitimate mail quarantined, and need to know how I can see it?
[12:05] <orionrobots> Mach3: DHCP addresses are by their nature changing. If you take a box, get it to acquire an IP via DHCP, then reboot it and do the same, you may get a different IP. The MAC should be the same.
[12:06] <dejx> Jrib i start x with startx
[12:06] <chamberlain> dejx: system>administration>language support
[12:06] <orionrobots> skywalker: Did you get the output from that last command?
[12:06] <skywalker> yes
[12:06] <jrib> dejx: idk, maybe edit  /etc/environment
[12:06] <orionrobots> skywalker: care to share it with me?
[12:06] <naut> If I want to run a command line program from another process
[12:06] <sy677> can anybody help me with a broken internet connection while happily connected to my vpn?
[12:06] <mahohmei> Could someone here answer a relatively dumb ubuntu server question?
[12:06] <skywalker> yes it says  soundcore  11232 2 cs46xx,snd
[12:07] <chamberlain> sure
[12:07] <jrib> !someone | mahohmei
[12:07] <ubotu> mahohmei: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[12:07] <naut> but not have all the output buffered and sent back in one huge dump when the command exits
[12:07] <naut> how can I do that?
[12:07] <orionrobots> skywalker: ok - sounds like you have the module there now.
[12:07] <naut> I need to run some kind of pseudo terminal programmatically
[12:07] <skywalker> and snd_page_alloc 11400 3 snd_cs4231_lib,snd_cs46xx,snd_pcm\
[12:08] <skywalker> no \
[12:08] <Smashcat> ubotu: The "Does anyone..." prefix is part of the question
[12:08] <mahohmei> We have a Windows domain; I have installed samba and sshd; is there a way to allow a list of users to log on with domain\username and their AD password?
[12:08] <opensourceje2> alloha
[12:08] <Smashcat> Ah, a bot..
[12:08] <cables> Now that I've removed Automatix and everything it installed, is it safe to remove its additions to my sources.list?
[12:08] <orionrobots> skywalker: So you may have it up and running now. Try this (keeping in the backticks please) : aplay `locate *.wav |  head -1`
[12:08] <Avalon_> I hope I can get tihs thing fixed.. I want outta vista fast.
[12:08] <chamberlain> cables, removing those entries will make it unable to upgrade the packages
[12:08] <erUSUL> naut: named pipe? output to file then read that file?
[12:08] <chamberlain> but yes
[12:09] <skywalker> should I check under the sound pref's?
[12:09] <naut> erUSUL, it's and interactive command line program
[12:09] <cables> chamberlain, I've uninstalled everything Automatix installed.
[12:09] <orionrobots> skywalker: try that command first..
[12:09] <erUSUL> naut: expect
[12:09] <chamberlain> cables, then yes
[12:09] <skywalker> ok
[12:09] <Avalon_> Would going under the command line or the alternative DVD work better for this error?
[12:09] <cables> chamberlain, ok, thanks. I'll keep a backup just in case
[12:09] <llol> hello folk
[12:09] <chamberlain> avalon, why do you need the dvd?
[12:10] <llol> any one have any experience with raid0? on ubuntu install
[12:10] <llol> ?
[12:10] <chamberlain> try a cd and see if there are any problems
[12:10] <Avalon_> I'm outta CDs and they return the same error. :(
[12:10] <llol> =-O
[12:10] <cables> !raid | llol, see if your question is answered here first
[12:10] <ubotu> llol, see if your question is answered here first: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[12:10] <chamberlain> hm, thats weird
[12:10] <llol> thanks
[12:10] <Avalon_> What I don't get is that I've installed Edgy on here before and it worked fine. I haven't changed the hardware or anything..
[12:11] <sy677> Are there any other channels that are specifically for vpn?
[12:11] <chamberlain> well, i try to help people as much as possible, but i now have a question, has anyone been able to set up a hauppauge wintv-go-plus remote (also used with other cards)?
[12:12] <orionrobots> skywalker: Ok is not really sufficient. Tell us what happened please.
[12:12] <bimberi> Smashcat: look in /var/lib/amavis/quarantine
[12:12] <llol> um i did a raid install i have 2 sata drives.... did a regular partition for the /boot as well as for the swap space and did 4 partitions for the raid those being  /root = /dev/md0 and /home =dev/md1   i get the boot loader grub and it boots but gives error 17 any ideas?
[12:12] <skywalker> error message
[12:12] <skywalker> I will post at sight
[12:12] <opensourceje2> people, how can i change in Nautilus, ftp-mode into "active-mode" ?
[12:12] <orionrobots> Skywalker: good plan. And post the url here after that.
[12:13] <javiolo> hi, anyone is running the latest rtorrent ? Id like to know how to get it on 6.10
[12:13] <llol> um i did a raid install i have 2 sata drives.... did a regular partition for the /boot as well as for the swap space and did 4 partitions for the raid those being  /root = /dev/md0 and /home =dev/md1   i get the boot loader grub and it boots but gives error 17 any ideas?

[12:19] <chamberlain> not sure about ftp though
[12:19] <Oddie> users
[12:19] <oreth> erUSUL: I'm not that hardcore :P

[12:20] <NkZ> My Issue: My Ubuntu has been acting strange these days: It randomly hangs and Reboots. I did a hardware check (Thought it was the RAM) and it was fine. Ran MemTest (Took like a LOT he he) and it was fine. Ran the Ubuntu Kernel with the "noacpi" exception and it still was hanging so now I am using the previous kernel (Something -10 besides something -11): If this one hangs on too, what else can I do?
[12:20] <cafuego_> oreth: or bluefish
[12:20] <chamberlain> try nvu
[12:21] <oreth> Bluefish.. that's the one!
[12:21] <cafuego_> nvu is awful at the very least
[12:21] <Dralid> Does anyone run the DemocracyTV on their Ubuntu machine? I just installed it and it unexpectedly closes just after starting.

[12:21] <orionrobots> skywalker: Ok - how about you just pastebin the output of lsmod?
[12:21] <Serinth> is there a way to still use apt-get dist upgrade with a kernel from kernel.org?
[12:21] <skywalker> orionrobots ok np I learnded enof you helped me out alot if you want to move on to someone els that is ok
[12:21] <cafuego_> Serinth: via `kernel-package' sure
[12:21] <skywalker> ok
[12:21] <Serinth> i didn't do that
[12:21] <skywalker> ok I will post
[12:22] <NkZ> Dralid: I tried DemocracyTV too but it was weird with me aswell. Dunno I just had to Desintall it, I think it's kinda nuts.
[12:22] <orionrobots> oreth: have you tried scite?
[12:22] <oreth> i haven't
[12:22] <oreth> does ubuntu have a quick key for executing a terminal?
[12:22] <orionrobots> oreth:It has some syntax highlighting, code completion, and is very small and sweet. Gui based.
[12:22] <Dralid> Thanks, NkZ.
[12:22] <chamberlain> nkz, if you want to watch tv, try tvtime or mythtv
[12:22] <orionrobots> oreth: Not sure, but I bet you can set one up.
[12:22] <Serinth> actually i might have
[12:23] <chamberlain> whoops thats was to dralid
[12:23] <NkZ> Dralid: Friend of mine tried it with me (Him on his PC) and he was having issues too.
[12:23] <bruenig> javiolo, so far it configured fine and is making right now

[12:23] <TaTonka> I just installed ubuntu, and when i boot it up, it gets past the loading scrreen, then the screen goes blank. what could be wrong?
[12:23] <javiolo> bruenig wow what packages did you need ?
[12:23] <chamberlain> hello lorenz
[12:24] <sy677> can someone tell me which channel to use for vpn?
[12:24] <lorenz_> can anyone give me some help checking if my fan works?
[12:24] <orionrobots> lorenz_: look up lmsensors.
[12:24] <cafuego_> lorenz_: open the case and look
[12:24] <lorenz_> I think my laptop runs pretty hot (ibm t60)
[12:24] <bruenig> javiolo, comerr-dev libcurl3-openssl-dev libidn11-dev libkadm55 libkrb5-dev libsigc++-2.0-dev pkg-config build-essential
[12:24] <orionrobots> !info lmsensors
[12:24] <ubotu> Package lmsensors does not exist in edgy, edgy-seveas
[12:24] <amonkey> what package should i install to get kdialog?
[12:24] <cafuego_> lm-sensors
[12:24] <orionrobots> !info lm-sensors
[12:24] <bruenig> javiolo, maybe some more, but those are the ones I added, not sure if I had some already that you may not have
[12:24] <javiolo> bruenig only that ?
[12:24] <ubotu> lm-sensors: utilities to read temperature/voltage/fan sensors. In component main, is extra. Version 1:2.10.0-7ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 479 kB, installed size 1472 kB
[12:24] <lorenz_> so I open a terminal and type lm-sensors?
[12:24] <lorenz_> ok, I have to install it first?
[12:25] <chamberlain> you have to install it first : sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
[12:25] <javiolo> bruenig can I pm you ?
[12:25] <orionrobots> lorenz_: Yes, install it, and read up on it. You may want to get a UI widget for it as well.
[12:25] <lorenz_> ok, thanks - will do that as soon as I got a wired connection
[12:25] <bruenig> javiolo, ok
[12:25] <chamberlain> ok
[12:25] <lorenz_> in the meanwhile, can I check it in another way - to see if the fan is activated at all?
[12:25] <LiENUS> widgets are the devils apps
[12:25] <chamberlain> just look inside lorenz
[12:26] <TaTonka> I just installed ubuntu, and when i boot it up, it gets past the loading scrreen, then the screen goes blank. what could be wrong?
[12:26] <orionrobots> I would go with chamberlain on that one..
[12:26] <NkZ> My Issue: My Ubuntu has been acting strange these days: It randomly hangs and Reboots. I did a hardware check (Thought it was the RAM) and it was fine. Ran MemTest (Took like a LOT he he) and it was fine.

(Hope I am not Spamming)
[12:26] <skywalker> orionrobots I lost the sight damm
[12:26] <lorenz_> it used to work with windows, but now I never hear the fan
[12:26] <skywalker> I will find
[12:26] <orionrobots> skywalker: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[12:26] <chamberlain> well lorenz, just look
[12:26] <oreth> filezilla = woot
[12:26] <oreth> ok.. thank's guys
[12:26] <lorenz_> look inside? sounds to simple to be true - can I see it?
[12:26] <whta> whenever I restart my x server with contrl alt backspace or if i try to log out, it takes FOREVER. what could cause that?
[12:27] <oreth> i'm out
[12:27] <oreth> take care
[12:27] <orionrobots> lorenz_: a fan? Why not. Is it a laptop?
[12:27] <lorenz_> hm, it seems to work - hot air coming out
[12:27] <orionrobots> oreth: seeya
[12:27] <lorenz_> yeah - ibm t60
[12:27] <orionrobots> lorenz_: yup - a lot of that around here...
[12:27] <robin_swe91> I have installed desktop-effects
[12:27] <robin_swe91> running 7.04 with latest updates, I get no borders around windows
[12:27] <scuderia> Tatonka, what pc have you?
[12:27] <lorenz_> but only very faint air - it seems to run at a very low level then
[12:27] <skywalker>  orionrobots: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7713/
[12:28] <TaTonka> scuderia, a compaq presario 2000
[12:28] <lorenz_> guys, I'm seriously worried though that it gets too hot - don't know any clever command to check if the fan is activated in the bios or something?
[12:28] <scuderia> have you an ATI?
[12:28] <chamberlain> install lm-sensors
[12:28] <NkZ> My Issue: My Ubuntu has been acting strange these days: It randomly hangs and Reboots. I did a hardware check (Thought it was the RAM) and it was fine. Ran MemTest (Took like a LOT he he) and it was fine.

(Hope I am not Spamming) (Anyone can help? :-P)
[12:28] <robin_swe91> I'm a nVidia user if uoi ask me
[12:28] <lorenz_> ok, chamberlain. will do :) thanks for the help
[12:28] <chamberlain> lorenz, most bioses can check it
[12:28] <NkZ> Chamberlain: I just installed LM-Sensors (Using Synaptic) How I use it?
[12:28] <chamberlain> also
[12:28] <whta> why exactly are the ATI drivers so horrible? i see so much about how ATI GPUs are crap with linux and as an unfortunate ATI owner, I'd like to know just what causes it.,.
[12:28] <lorenz_> one last question - will it shut down before the temp gets critical?
[12:29] <chamberlain> use the command sensors
[12:29] <NkZ> Chamberlain: Roger that
[12:29] <chamberlain> lorenz, i dont think thats a feature, unfortunately
[12:29] <alex_mayorga> hello all
[12:29] <chamberlain> hello
[12:29] <TaTonka> scuderia, a compaq presario 2000
[12:29] <lorenz_> I see.
[12:29] <lorenz_> ubuntu is giving me quite the headache...
[12:30] <chamberlain> well it is a change lorenz
[12:30] <orionrobots> lorenz_: that shut down should be down to the bios - not the OS.
[12:30] <lorenz_> when I have lm-sensors installed, what command do I use to get info about temp?
[12:30] <alex_mayorga> is someone that can help me to pinpoint a possible Feisty bug?
[12:30] <robin_swe91> !help deskop-effects
[12:30] <pebo_> Are there any recent (>=6.10) issues with kbd-chooser/method=$KEYMAP? I can't set the live-cd keymap but `debian-installer/locale=$LOCALE' works.
[12:30] <chamberlain> lorenz, sensors
[12:30] <amonkey> what package can provide kdialog so i can compile amarok from svn?
[12:30] <cables> Is it just me, or is Ubuntu's crash detection a bit over-sensitive? Often I get messages that Opera, Skype, or Xchat have crashed, when they really haven't.
[12:30] <robin_swe91_> I have desktop-effects errors, no window borders!!
[12:30] <NkZ> My Issue: My Ubuntu has been acting strange these days: It randomly hangs and Reboots. I did a hardware check (Thought it was the RAM) and it was fine. Ran MemTest (Took like a LOT he he) and it was fine. Ran the Ubuntu Kernel with the "noacpi" exception and it still was hanging so now I am using the previous kernel (Something -10 besides something -11): If this one hangs on too, what else can I do? (Hope I am not Spamming) (Anyone can help? :-P)
[12:30] <lorenz_> sorry for continuing to ask - but how do I do that, chamberlain - I'm really new on ubuntu
[12:30] <lemonsCC> !offtopicis it possible to install dapper and upgrade it to edgy as tho i used an edgy cd?

[12:32] <NkZ> My Issue: My Ubuntu has been acting strange these days: It randomly hangs and Reboots. I did a hardware check (Thought it was the RAM) and it was fine.

[12:32] <lorenz_> ok, would you do me a favour? can you tell me how to use it then?

[12:33] <lorenz_> ok, thanks. Didn't get that the 99 times before
[12:33] <robin_swe91> thx
[12:33] <chamberlain> ok lorenz
[12:33] <TaTonka> scuderia, on the normal install disk, it did the same thing to me. I had to use the alternate install disk
[12:34] <spuddogg_> !java

[12:34] <lorenz_> I hope it's not a common issue with ubuntu and IBM to have overheating problems.
[12:34] <smultron> my theme's break when i run apps in super-user mode. anyone know why? here's a screenshot: http://hagakure1.googlepages.com/Screenshot.png

[12:37] <NkZ> Help? anyone? Any Thoughts?
[12:37] <orionrobots> NKZ: Sorry it is not that you are being ignored - it is that nobody here has an idea on what to do yet...
[12:37] <smultron> fsck?
[12:37] <colbert> PriceChild: In your guide I did the first step to install the cvs then I installed the .deb, should I completely remove and install the .deb alone ??
[12:37] <PriceChild> colbert, you can just delete the cvs folder
[12:38] <colbert> where is it located ?
[12:38] <NkZ> Orionrobots: Oh. :-) Thanks. :-) Well, It's not giving any issues so far, It could be the new kernel, But I will shut up I don't wanna screw it up talking. :-)
[12:38] <tlhiv> anyone here use gallery?
[12:38] <scuderia> TaTonka, i had the same problem
[12:38] <todd2> what is a good media player for linux?

[12:38] <orionrobots> NkZ: I see crashed from time to time, which is actually why I cam eon tonight - sorry a very odd, quite visual hang.
[12:39] <nexous> Whenever I openup firefox I get the start new session, restore last, EVERY TIME.
[12:39] <scuderia> TaTonka, and what i did was when it crashed, i made ctrl-alt-f3 then in the "terminal" i edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf and changed Driver to vesa in the devices section
[12:39] <lorenz_> ok, chamberlain thanks for the help - you were the first one to give answers.
[12:39] <lorenz_> bye guys
[12:39] <chamberlain> no problem lorenz
[12:39] <orionrobots> skywalker: Can you try (not sure if this will do much): sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[12:39] <skywalker> ok
[12:39] <colbert> PriceChild: Where is the CVS folder located ??
[12:39] <TaTonka> scuderia, i just swithed to my onboard video, and it works
[12:40] <PriceChild> colbert, probably in your home
[12:40] <NkZ> OrionRobots: Visual Hang? How is that? Please elaborate: Mine just hangs, Displaying the whole desktop but the mouse won't even move.
[12:40] <scuderia> TaTonka, then, i saved and made ctrl-alt-f7 to go to the graphic window and the i made ctrl alt backspace to reboot x
[12:40] <orionrobots> !info tripwire
[12:40] <ubotu> tripwire: file and directory integrity checker. In component universe, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS>.0-7 (edgy), package size 1767 kB, installed size 4640 kB
[12:40] <todd2> also, I just installed ubuntu and now I want to install the drivers for my graphics card. Where could I search for them?
[12:40] <colbert> ok
[12:40] <scuderia> anyone can help me with ATI and Beryl?
[12:40] <infidel> orionrobots, that wasn't very helpful was it?
[12:40] <orionrobots> NkZ - It looks like I had memory corruption to a frame buffer or something similar. The screen filled up with blobs and lines - however, they were all rounded - which confused me. I am used to it normally being hard edged?
[12:40] <marx2k> latest update for feisty Kubuntu killed adept installer... it segfaults uppon bootup now
[12:41] <alienware> ola
[12:41] <orionrobots> infidel: I just wanted to know what it was myself
[12:41] <NkZ> OrionRobots: Ah, Used to windows ME? :-P
[12:41] <chamberlain> hello alienware
[12:41] <infidel> orionrobots, understand
[12:41] <alienware> hello
[12:41] <orionrobots> NkZ: Absolutely not..
[12:41] <alienware> sou brasileiro e vc ?
[12:41] <orionrobots> NkZ: Humour rebooted...
[12:41] <cafuego_> !pt
[12:41] <ubotu> pt is Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.

[12:42] <jrib> hey who made ubotu male?
[12:42] <alienware> hello
[12:42] <NkZ> Orionrobots: Ha ha ha ha :-P Well, mine just hangs. Which is weird for Ubuntu.
[12:42] <alienware> sou brasileiro e vc  ?
[12:42] <chamberlain> hello
[12:42] <alienware> ola
[12:42] <orionrobots> Skywalker: hey - the start up looked good though..
[12:42] <chamberlain> !pt, alienware
[12:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pt, alienware - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:42] <skywalker> yes
[12:42] <alienware> ok
[12:42] <todd2> also, I just installed ubuntu and now I want to install the drivers for my graphics card. Where could I search for them?
[12:42] <mahohmei> can someone here answer a question about AD authentication to a 6.06 server?
[12:42] <chamberlain> whoops
[12:42] <orionrobots> skywalker: any joy with a sound app then?
[12:42] <jrib> alienware: aqui e so para ingles, podes falar portugues no #ubuntu-br
[12:42] <marx2k> todd: what grafx card do you have?
[12:42] <cables> Is there any way to get the list of fonts Automatix installs? I'm de-automatixing my computer. I installed msttcorefonts, but websites still look ugly.
[12:42] <skywalker> let me see
[12:44] <NkZ> Orionrobots: Might be a lame question for me to ask, but tried apt-get update / upgrade?
[12:44] <alienware> alguma  brasileira ????????????/
[12:44] <marx2k> use aptitude
[12:45] <orionrobots> NkZ: Yes. But I am booting the old kernel - the new one remains off until I can be bothered to rejig the nvidia drivers locally.
[12:45] <todd2> marx2k: nvidia geforce g71?
[12:45] <sayers> The CPU Scaling device says it is not supported?
[12:45] <NkZ> OrionRobots: Ah, Yes The new kernel was giving me issues too.
[12:45] <orionrobots> NkZ: I have been tinkering with UML (User Mode Linux - not fluffy diagrams) a lot - which may have had something to do with it..
[12:45] <marx2k> todd2, look for a script called envy... it auto-does everything for you for NVidia
[12:45] <alienware> alguma brasileira  ????????
[12:45] <orionrobots> !pt
[12:45] <ubotu> pt is Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[12:46] <NkZ> Orionrobots: Know if there is a special room where I can ask about gdesklets?
[12:46] <orionrobots> NkZ: My best guess is #gnome..
[12:46] <NkZ> Orionrobots: Thanks. :-) I'm too noob to find my way alone. :-)
[12:46] <orionrobots> NkZ: An interesting kernel mess up is to create a VM with more memory than the physical box has..
[12:47] <skywalker> orionrobots no let see if a music cd plays
[12:47] <chamberlain> well things have seemed to die down a little, anyone have any info on using a hauppauge remote in edgy
[12:47] <orionrobots> Can lirc cope with it?
[12:48] <NkZ> OrionRobots: Damn! And Excessive VM could be the reason of why the system just hangs or reboots? acting like it was a real memory issue?
[12:48] <orionrobots> NkZ: Well the HOST kernel issues a message to all terms "Oops"..
[12:48] <chamberlain> orionbots, havent had any luck with lirc, maybe a good howto would help
[12:48] <sayers> Is there a way to have my CPU Scaled, I sortof remember how, it's in CPU0 in /sys/devices/system
[12:48] <orionrobots> NkZ: And ps, top stopped working.
[12:49] <orionrobots> NkZ: And trying to run them, or kill just hung the term they were run in.
[12:49] <orionrobots> NkZ: However, things already running, like firefox, and GAIM, just seemed to carry on just fine.
[12:49] <NkZ> OrionRobots: I will take that as a yes: Any way to solve that Issue or we have to wait for the patch?
[12:49] <skywalker> orionbots notheing
[12:50] <skywalker> its playing but no sound
[12:50] <NkZ> OrionRobots: I'm sticking with the old safe kernel in the mean time, thank you very much. :-)
[12:50] <orionrobots> skywalker: ok - lets try aplay instead: aplay `locate *.wav | head -2`
[12:50] <orionrobots> NkZ: No that Vm thing was entirely my fault - nothing to do with the .11 kernel.
[12:50] <skywalker> ok
[12:50] <infidel> orionrobots, found the informantion i was looking for with the all knowing google tool :)
[12:50] <NkZ> Orionrobots: Ahh, I see. :-)
[12:51] <orionrobots> NkZ: Making a Vm with 2Gb on a 1Gb box is a bad plan.. But an interesting experiment none the less.
[12:51] <orionrobots> infidel: good call!
[12:51] <slyfox> can someone pelase help me to isntall this? http://xoomer.alice.it/rockman81/kmobiletools/kmobiletools-svn-2007-02-27.tar.bz2
[12:51] <chamberlain> well, see you people later
[12:51] <t0dd> I have a NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS and am trying to find the drivers for it.. any help?
[12:51] <marx2k> an interesting experiment in OS garbage collection ;)
[12:51] <NkZ> Orionrobots: I've messed a lot with Ubuntu too, not to that extent but yes: I've rebooted 4 times in the last 2 months
[12:51] <marx2k> t0dd: look for the 'envy' script... search for it in ubuntuforums
[12:52] <infidel> orionrobots, you reallyhave to love linux, there is no OS out there better
[12:52] <orionrobots> marxk2: I was wandering if a host kernel could swap out parts of a guest kernels memory space. The answer was a definitive no, and never try that again..
[12:52] <marx2k> lol
[12:52] <orionrobots> infidel: infinite space to try stuff and learn.
[12:52] <tm4> i've checked a couple of sites for this issue, but am curious as to if anyone knows the primary reason that gnome likes to revert to the mesa driver rather than just stick with my ati driver?
[12:53] <marx2k> tm4: what is the driver you are using in xorg.conf
[12:53] <skywalker> orionrobots:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7717/
[12:53] <orionrobots> t0dd: The restricted drivers repo should do it.
[12:53] <tm4> fglrx
[12:53] <orionrobots> !nvidia
[12:53] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:53] <marx2k> fglrx?
[12:53] <marx2k> ok
[12:53] <marx2k> have you rebooted?
[12:53] <orionrobots> !ati, tm4
[12:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ati, tm4 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:54] <tm4> yeah - it's not a major problem. i can usually either reboot or just ctrl+alt+backspace, but occasionally it just revers
[12:54] <orionrobots> Worth a shot..
[12:54] <tm4> !ati
[12:54] <marx2k> !envy
[12:54] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:54] <ubotu> envy is a Python script that eases installation of the official Nvidia and ATI drivers. Please see http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html . Developers may be interested in https://launchpad.net/products/envy - See also !Nvidia
[12:54] <orionrobots> Interesting. How "supported" is envy?
[12:55] <marx2k> orionrobots, its a 3rd party python script written by a user :)
[12:55] <marx2k> but it works wonderfully on my systems
[12:55] <tm4> hmm - if i'm using the ati fglrx driver, is there any reason not to uninstall the restricted package?
[12:55] <herold> I have 6.10 on a sony vaio centrino duo with a built in memory stick pro duo when i insert the card I get nothing where can I look for my card
[12:55] <orionrobots> Ok. I may have to try that..
[12:55] <Cosine> hey guys, if I am trying to seto and ftp server...how do I go and open the port that I need?
[12:55] <tm4> i'm checking envy out now, as well
[12:56] <skywalker> orionrobots you get url?
[12:56] <guajiro_nj> your ATI driver shouldnt revert...make sure you're booting to the same kernel each time.
[12:56] <orionrobots> Yup - looks the same as before.. No progress then :(
[12:56] <AndyR> I have 6.10, I got WINE and began installing WoW.... Unfortunately I can't eject my CD for it requires multiple CD's, Can anyone help?
[12:56] <tm4> guajiro - i am. i may have made a small error some where with xorg.conf. i've been messing with the latest release of beryl
[12:56] <Cosine> unmount it
[12:57] <skywalker> yep I never had a big problem with linux
[12:57] <marx2k> beryl for ati?
[12:57] <tm4> and it worked for a day, then i update and only get the white cube ;)
[12:57] <tm4> yeah
[12:57] <tm4> i have it working - but i use a cheap hack
[12:57] <Cosine> hey guys, if I am trying to seto and ftp server...how do I go and open the port that I need?
[12:57] <marx2k> cosine, use firestarter
[12:57] <marx2k> !firestarter
[12:57] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[12:57] <phiphe> hola
[12:57] <orionrobots> skywalker: This might be a point to raise something on launchpad support to see if some other can be of more help than I am. However - you may want to refer them to your lsmod output, and other info we have gathered.
[12:57] <skywalker> orionrobots iam out thank youfor your help soo much I learnded alot
[12:58] <Cosine> firestater?
[12:58] <phiphe> help...i have ATI
[12:58] <AndyR> Can anyone help me out? I can't eject my disc drive...
[12:58] <IndyGunFreak> !ati
[12:58] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:58] <skywalker> yes
[12:58] <Cosine> is it in Ubuntu?
[12:58] <scuderia> phiphe, whats your problem?
[12:58] <tm4> phiphe: what's up?
[12:58] <IndyGunFreak> scuderia: he has ATI...lol
[12:58] <guajiro_nj> one thing I noticed about the aticonfig command is that you can end up with multiple definitions in your xorg.conf file...make sure your driver is not defined twice and your not calling the "ati" or "raedon" one after you called your "fglrx" driver... I noticed that after loosing my driver...
[12:59] <marx2k> cosine: yeah install it through synaptic or add/remove programs
[12:59] <phiphe> i install ati drivers but doesnt work
[12:59] <scuderia> IndyGunFreak - me too :( and i cant run Beryl :(
[12:59] <phiphe> i have ATI RADEON 9600
[12:59] <orionrobots> skywalker: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+tickets - this might be your next port of call..
[12:59] <Cosine> thanks
[12:59] <IndyGunFreak> scuderia: i never got beryl to work with ATI, but I know some have.
[12:59] <AndyR> How can I get my CD to eject from the drive?
[12:59] <Ktron> Gah, Xorg hates me, I never get Xorg to work, ever
[12:59] <guajiro_nj> I did beryl last night... I get the cube to work, but no desktop on it...everything is white
[12:59] <marx2k> phiphe: same here
[12:59] <DEinspanjer> Quick question, if I want to install a 64 bit ubuntu on a machine with an Intel Core 2 Duo, do I need something other than the iso named 64-bit PC (AMD64)?
[12:59] <IndyGunFreak> AndyR: Right click drive, choose eject
[12:59] <Cosine> andy...unmount the drive
[12:59] <DEinspanjer> I don't see any other 64 bit installs...
[01:00] <phiphe> IT VERY DIFFICULT
[01:00] <skywalker> orionrobots thank you Iam greatful
[01:00] <scuderia> IndyGunFreak im almost working, biut it gives me a pixmap error :(
[01:00] <NkZ> scuderia: Did you try "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BerylOnEdgy?highlight=%28Beryl%29"?
[01:00] <tm4> guajiro: i noticed that the device is defined twice in there as well. i changed the two device sections to include "fglrx" rather than "ati". i've been nothing but irritated with ati's drivers, but that's beside the point. i just wonder why i occasionally have the mesa drivers rather than the ati drivers. if i restart x it generally works.
[01:00] <IndyGunFreak> scuderia: you got a lot further than I did.. kept getting errors during install.
[01:00] <phiphe> il try everything...but is an impossible mission
[01:00] <guajiro_nj> besides, beryl has problems with OpenGL...when they fix that I try again...no point in having your screensaver crash your X
[01:00] <DEinspanjer> I guess maybe a better question would be: Is an Intel Core 2 Duo processor part of the EM64T architecture?
[01:00] <spasticteapot> Hello!
[01:00] <opensourceje2> people, how can i change in Nautilus, "passive-mode" into "active-mode" ?
[01:00] <tm4> guajiro: i may can help you with beryl. i've got a small script running that fixes the white cube issue - do you have an ati?
[01:00] <opensourceje2> for ftp
[01:00] <spasticteapot> Can anyone reccomend some games for Ubuntu?
[01:01] <spasticteapot> Quite a few of hem won't work properly from the Debian repositories.
[01:01] <orionrobots> Games - what kind of games?
[01:01] <guajiro_nj> tm4, yes I do
[01:01] <IndyGunFreak> spasticteapot: frozen-bubble, its in the repos.. addictive as hell.
[01:01] <orionrobots> spasticteapot: I really like tremulous
[01:01] <AndyR> Indy: Tried that, No success.
[01:01] <phiphe> somethinh help me?
[01:01] <spasticteapot> When I play Frozen-Bubble, I get the same four levels over and over.
[01:01] <Ktron> Anyone know any good reference for figuring out Xorg confs?
[01:01] <marx2k> !games
[01:01] <ubotu> Information about games on Ubuntu can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and ubuntugames.org
[01:01] <Ktron> spasticteapot, Tuxracer! or Chromium!
[01:01] <spasticteapot> Also, I'm stuck wiht a broken ankle - I'm limited to games that are trackpad-friendly.
[01:01] <NkZ> Spasticteapot: Try Gbillard. :-)
[01:01] <spasticteapot> Chromium?
[01:01] <tm4> guajiro: how long have you been using beryl? i had it working for a few days, but with the version in the svn repo right now, i get the white cube issue - is that what's happened to you,t oo?
[01:01] <Cosine> marx2k: I dont see Firestarter in the add/remove
[01:01] <IndyGunFreak> spasticteapot: ?really... I'ev gotten a few repeats, but its great
[01:01] <orionrobots> and for small spots - enigma, kobo deluxe
[01:02] <scuderia> IndyGunFreak - see here  http://lhansen.blogspot.com/2006/10/3d-desktop-beryl-and-xgl-on-ubuntu-edgy.html
[01:02] <orionrobots> lincity too..
[01:02] <spasticteapot> IndyGunFreak: Same four levels...over and over and over.
[01:02] <tm4> scuderia: that tutorial works, but not with the current unstable version
[01:02] <Iced_Kirby> Guys, I resized my drive, now I have 4GB allocated. I am at the Install part "Prepare mount points". What do I do?
[01:02] <Ktron> spasticteapot, Chorium, sort of a mouse controlled R-Type game
[01:02] <phiphe> how made work my ati?
[01:02] <spasticteapot> Ah.
[01:02] <IndyGunFreak> spasticteapot: guess i've never noticed
[01:02] <AndyR> IndyGunFreak: I did what you said and had no success.
[01:02] <tm4> there's a little script you've gotta run
[01:02] <Iced_Kirby> 4GB Unallocated*
[01:02] <tm4> or execute or whatever you wanna say ;)
[01:02] <IndyGunFreak> AndyR: what did i say to do?..lol
[01:02] <guajiro_nj> as for the Xorg.conf file, something I've learned using ATI is once you get your driver working, copy Xorg.conf to your home directory for safe keeping...sooner or later, you're gonna mess it up.. lol
[01:03] <AndyR> IndyGunFreak: Right Click the drive and then hit eject
[01:03] <herold> I have Beryl installed and sometimes I need tochange the window manager and then back to Beryl
[01:03] <LCS-One> !bind

[01:03] <DEinspanjer> Anyone?
[01:03] <orionrobots> spasticteapot: I have burned days away with Tremolous - but then I used to be a complete half-life addict at one point a few years back..
[01:03] <phiphe> o please
[01:03] <tm4> if you've got fglrx and xgl setup correctly, but you're suffering from the white cube - try this (gimme a second to type it up)
[01:03] <AndyR> IndyGunFreak: I wouldn't be asking if I didn't
[01:03] <LCS-One> Can someone help with bind configuration on ubuntu 6.06lts-server
[01:03] <Ktron> guajiro_nj, I just can enver get one working
[01:03] <guajiro_nj> tm4 -  I have been trying to get beryl to work for the last 2-3 days now
[01:03] <tm4> (also, i assume all of your xgl scripts are running okay)
[01:03] <phiphe> ATI EASY !!!...
[01:03] <Iced_Kirby> Guys, I resized my drive, now I have 4GB unallocated. I am at the Install part "Prepare mount points". What do I do? Do I make two new partitions? What  format are they?
[01:03] <spasticteapot> No mouse = AAH! I AM FRAGGED!
[01:03] <megafauna> Hi how do I force VLC to quit? It won't shut down, I have to alt+tab to get out of fullscreen?
[01:04] <spasticteapot> Anyone know how to run Doom fullscreen?
[01:04] <spasticteapot> I'll settle for Doom at this point.
[01:04] <LCS-One> Can someone help with bind configuration on ubuntu 6.06lts-server
[01:04] <LCS-One> Can someone help with bind configuration on ubuntu 6.06lts-server

[01:04] <NkZ> Orionrobots: Dude, that's hardcore.
[01:04] <tm4> guajiro: i'm assuming you're using xgl and have written the startxgl startup script?
[01:04] <Iced_Kirby> Guys, I resized my drive, now I have 4GB unallocated. I am at the Install part "Prepare mount points". What do I do? Do I make two new partitions? What  format are they? Please help!
[01:04] <Ktron> I really just want a 'here's my hardware, this is my config' sort of website for Xorg confs, or at least some better explanation so I can try to make more educated than 'well, this one random google result says this, and this one says that, so I'll try every combination in between the two...'
[01:04] <Cosine> marx2k: I dont see Firestarter in the add/remove
[01:04] <spasticteapot> orionrobots: I have a thinkpad. I have a NIPPLEMAUS.
[01:05] <spasticteapot> Anything above doom is going to make my finger hurt.
[01:05] <marx2k> cosine: 'sudo aptitude install firestarter'
[01:05] <guajiro_nj> tm4, the scripts seem to be running fine...X starts up on :1 and I get the Beryl splash, but the cube is blank
[01:05] <orionrobots> spasticteapot - ok they do suck..
[01:05] <tm4> okay cool, then i may can help
[01:05] <spasticteapot> orionrobots: They work great for word processing.
[01:05] <jamie_> can anyone tell me how to add user to mysql for the first time after install.
[01:05] <guajiro_nj> tm4, yes I wrote the startxgl script
[01:05] <orionrobots> spasticteapot: I once tried to play lincity with a touchpad - it really messed things up..
[01:05] <Iced_Kirby> I resized my drive, now I have 4GB unallocated. I am at the Install part "Prepare mount points". What do I do? Do I make two new partitions? What  format are they? Can anybody help me? Please?

[01:05] <LCS-One> Can someone help with bind configuration on ubuntu 6.06lts-server
[01:05] <orionrobots> Spammed road all over my city..
[01:05] <LCS-One> Can someone help with bind configuration on ubuntu 6.06lts-server
[01:06] <spasticteapot> Eh..I'll have to pass on Lincity.
[01:06] <Cosine> wow, thanks man
[01:06] <Iced_Kirby> Can ANYBODY help me?
[01:06] <spasticteapot> I've played every SimCity 2000 scenario.
[01:06] <spasticteapot> No more sim city...
[01:06] <orionrobots> Ah - another interesting game that might be worth a bit of time is singularity - endgame
[01:06] <spasticteapot> Iced_Kirby: What's the problem?
[01:06] <mickz> join LBo
[01:06] <orionrobots> spasticteapot: but once completed is pretty much over..
[01:06] <tm4> guarjiro_nj: do this - gksudo gedit /usr/etc/startxglfix and type these lines (delimited by semicolons): #!/bin/sh; sleep 5; exec beryl-xgl --use-copy.    you'll notice gnome will flicker about 5 seconds after starting up, this is beryl kicking into --use-copy.    next, open up a terminal and it will probably no have window borders if so, good. now type this: beryl-manager --no-force-window-manager
[01:06] <Iced_Kirby> spasticteapot: Guys, I resized my drive, now I have 4GB unallocated. I am at the Install part "Prepare mount points". What do I do? Do I make two new partitions? What  format are they?
[01:06] <spasticteapot> orionrobots: Tried it...after a few hours, I STILL could'nt build any facilities.
[01:07] <tm4> also - make sure that you remove beryl-manager from your sessions/startup tab
[01:07] <krezlim> What good new games are there?
[01:07] <House> can someone please tell me how to set up  an ethernet connection in 6.06 ubuntu
[01:07] <AndyR> My disc drive won't open, I tried right clicking eject, and the button... What should I do?
[01:07] <orionrobots> Wow - I managed to acheive apotheosis..
[01:07] <javiolo> what package contains the ncurses lib ?
[01:07] <mickz> join #LBo
[01:07] <orionrobots> AndyR - you need to unmount it then.
[01:07] <IndyGunFreak> AndyR: aer you sure the drive is good?.. not being a smartass
[01:07] <spasticteapot> Iced_Kirby: I recall making a swap partition, and a main partition, (Reiser, in my case), and set the main partition as the boot partition.
[01:07] <bruenig> javiolo, libncurses5 and libncurses5-dev since you are compiling
[01:07] <spasticteapot> That worked well for dual-booting on my Thinkpad.
[01:07] <AndyR> Orionrobots: How do I do that?
[01:07] <guajiro_nj> tm4, thanks. I'll give that a shot right now..
[01:07] <bruenig> javiolo, I put up a howto on the forums, but it is waiting moderator approval
[01:07] <Ktron> AndyR, is there a pin hole on the front of the drive?
[01:08] <tm4> guajiro_nj: don't forget to chmod +x /usr/bin/startxglfix and add that to your sessions/startup tab
[01:08] <orionrobots> KTron: hold on - too far.
[01:08] <cwillu> !apic
[01:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about apic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:08] <IndyGunFreak> Ktron: that was gonna be my  next suggestion.
[01:08] <oddie> Has anyone played around with Ubuntu and a MacBook?
[01:08] <cwillu> !boot
[01:08] <ubotu> 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
[01:08] <Ktron> AndyR, if there is, you can stick a pin or straightened paper clip in there and it'll pop open (kind of a manual override)
[01:08] <javiolo> bruenig ok please  giveme the link
[01:08] <bruenig> when it is approved I will
[01:08] <orionrobots> AndyR: Try this - click Places -> Computer
[01:08] <marx2k> make sure your cdrom device is unmounted first
[01:08] <House> can someone please help set up an ethernet connection
[01:08] <spasticteapot> oddie: OSX is based on BSD.
[01:08] <Iced_Kirby> spasticteapot: So I go into GParted and make a  ext3/2 and  a linux-swap partition?
[01:08] <marx2k> that might be a reason its not ejecting
[01:08] <House> its not working
[01:08] <bruenig> I didn't realize they had this approval thing, or I would have saved it
[01:08] <spasticteapot> So I'd gues s it wikk work.
[01:08] <orionrobots> Then you should see the drive in the window there..
[01:09] <spasticteapot> Iced_Kirby: That worked for me, anywho - that's where I put the "master boot record".
[01:09] <scuderia> tm4, can u explain me better? Why dont it works?
[01:09] <t0dd> what ide does everyone recommend?
[01:09] <spasticteapot> IDE?
[01:09] <spasticteapot> Well, I prefer SATA, but...
[01:09] <tm4> scuderia: why doesn't beryl work ... is that what you mean?
[01:09] <Okapi> hello to all
[01:09] <guajiro_nj> tm4, this eventually replaces my current startxgl script correct?
[01:09] <EchoBinary> xen on edgy eft? anyone? tried: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XenVirtualMachine/XenOnUbuntuEdgy    but hit a snag
[01:09] <t0dd> integrated development environment
[01:09] <oddie> spasticteapot: yes i know but I wanted to just try and load ubuntu live ... just cause
[01:09] <orionrobots> t0dd: A tiny, but well featured IDE I like at the moment is Scite, otherwise it is Eclipse and VIM for me.
[01:10] <tm4> guajiro_nj: no leave the current startxgl there - this needs to run in addition to that
[01:10] <abisen> hi want to try ubbuntu and i had a couple of questions.. is it right that i would not need to download new iso's between different ubuntu releases and i can just upgrade using apt (eg. 6.10 to 7.10)
[01:10] <Iced_Kirby> spasticteapot: So: Main part is ext2/3 and the mount point is... /boot?
[01:10] <spasticteapot> oddie: You can run Linux on the Newton, I'd bet.
[01:10] <tm4> /usr/bin/startxglfix
[01:10] <scuderia> tm4 , you said that that tut dont work with beryl new unstable version, and im asking why, cause i followed it and gave me good resultds
[01:10] <bruenig> abisen, right
[01:10] <spasticteapot> Iced_Kirby: I don't know - I just followed the generic Linux install program.
[01:10] <Iced_Kirby> spastic: And swap part is linux-swap?
[01:10] <Okapi> I have problem running xman. Error: No manual pages found. Anyone can help?
[01:10] <spasticteapot> Yep.
[01:10] <t0dd> orionrobots: I want something like notepad++ for windows, which supports development in many programming languages
[01:10] <whta> whenever I restart my x server with contrl alt backspace or if i try to log out, it takes FOREVER. what could cause that?
[01:10] <bruenig> abisen, although it would be 6.10 to 7.04
[01:10] <jamie_> abisen : yes sudo update-manager -c
[01:10] <spasticteapot> t0dd: There's a carpload of those for Linux.
[01:10] <bruenig> abisen, you can't jump two versions
[01:10] <tm4> scuderia: i'm not exactly sure why the latest unstable version doesn't work on ati cards (i've no idea if it does or not with nvidias). i read a thread on the beryl forum sayinjg something about one of thep plug-ins being broken, but i've really no idea.
[01:11] <abisen> bruenig, is it also right that I would be able to install some rpm's if I cant find the deb file's (like intel compilers, and other stuff )
[01:11] <orionrobots> t0dd: Then scite is probably the simplest - but spasticteapot is right, there are many.
[01:11] <erUSUL> t0dd: emacs, vim, gvim, scite, gedit, nedit........
[01:11] <jamie_> no
[01:11] <scuderia> ok, thanks tm4
[01:11] <spasticteapot> t0dd: Ever fancied programming a microcontroller?
[01:11] <abisen> bruenig, but i can upgrade incrementally ... that would be good enough
[01:11] <bruenig> abisen, you can alien the rpms if you want, I generally just compile if there aren't debs
[01:11] <spasticteapot> Linux has a free AVR C compiler.
[01:11] <spasticteapot> Beats paying $250 for getting a compiler for Windows.
[01:11] <bruenig> !alien
[01:11] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[01:11] <scuderia> does anyone knows if  Feisty Fawn will beryl as default?
[01:11] <megafauna> Hi can someone recommend a good intro to the file system? I'm nost even sure where to install d/l'd apps to.. /newb
[01:11] <tm4> scuderia: i don't think it will be
[01:11] <Ktron> Ah, Xorg is stopping me from using linux... how sad is that?... Ah well, /afk I go
[01:11] <bruenig> scuderia, #ubuntu+1
[01:11] <IndyGunFreak> scuderia: i doubt it..
[01:12] <IndyGunFreak> it might though.
[01:12] <abisen> bruenig, alien ? but some times the only type distributed is rpm
[01:12] <orionrobots> spasticteapot: It is a shame that familiar does not yet support my pocketPC - parts of the chipset are nt yet supported - otherwise it would be using Linux too..
[01:12] <bruenig> scuderia, I think the approach is to make it really easy but not to include it by default
[01:12] <spasticteapot> megafaun: / is the default "start" point, a lot like C.
[01:12] <bruenig> abisen, alien is a program that will convert rpms to deb but is not 100%
[01:12] <IndyGunFreak> bruenig: i agree, its to resource heavy to make it default
[01:12] <spasticteapot> orionrobots: Feh! Linux runs on Gumstix!
[01:12] <spasticteapot> And I know where you can get some cheap touchscreens....
[01:12] <bruenig> IndyGunFreak, well the opposition is more philosophical than that, with the binary drivers and such
[01:12] <orionrobots> spasticteapot: I like the gumstix. BrickOS is linux like - runs on the RCX - that is hardcore... Lego + Linux..
[01:13] <scuderia> i heard that it iwll have better wireless configuration, cause using xsupplicant to config WPA can sometimes be a bit hard
[01:13] <IndyGunFreak> bruenig: yeah, but you ahve to admit, i've got a point..lol
[01:13] <EchoBinary> xen on edgy eft? anyone? tried: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XenVirtualMachine/XenOnUbuntuEdgy    but hit a snag
[01:13] <abisen> bruenig, so that would be the only catch .. here we get a couple of properitery rpm based apps .. (small ones) but they would need to be used
[01:13] <IndyGunFreak> sicne the appeal of linux, is it works with older hardware
[01:13] <orionrobots> spasticteappot - you do?
[01:13] <bruenig> well yeah I will be going xubuntu maybe even fluxbuntu, I love my resources
[01:13] <spasticteapot> I do what?
[01:13] <megafauna> Hi how do I force VLC to quit? It won't shut down, I have to alt+tab to get out of fullscreen?
[01:13] <t0dd> is scite included with an ubuntu installation?
[01:13] <spasticteapot> I'm learning C for the PICmicro, actually.
[01:13] <orionrobots> You know where you can get cheap touchscreens?
[01:13] <spasticteapot> I traded a box of chocolates for a $400 developer kit.
[01:13] <bruenig> abisen, you can install rpms, I just don't do it generally. A lot of people use rpm
[01:13] <IndyGunFreak> bruenig: i run xubuntu on a 1ghz Laptopl, works very well, and very lean
[01:13] <spasticteapot> Ah, yes...
[01:14] <orionrobots> spasticteapot: I was given an Xgamestation today..
[01:14] <spasticteapot> Xgamestation?
[01:14] <t0dd> I search for scite in Synaptic and I get no results
[01:14] <bruenig> I run it on a 2.3 ghz desktiop
[01:14] <IndyGunFreak> abisen: can you compile whatever it is you're looking for?
[01:14] <orionrobots> spasticteapot: not sure what I will do with it.. yet.
[01:14] <tm4> beryl is nice, but still freaks out a lot - gdm randomly restarting
[01:14] <spasticteapot> bruenig: I run Xubuntu on my 1ghz Pentium-M.
[01:14] <krfkeith> hi
[01:14] <krfkeith> im ne to ubuntu
[01:14] <bruenig> is this a who has the weakest resources competition
[01:14] <spasticteapot> eh?
[01:14] <krfkeith> sorry for the typo
[01:14] <spasticteapot> I started running Linux on a 366mhz Celeron.
[01:14] <abisen> IndyGunFreak, some times the sources are not available to compile ? unfortunately
[01:14] <krfkeith> im new to ubuntu
[01:14] <spasticteapot> I win.
[01:15] <IndyGunFreak> bruenig: lol
[01:15] <orionrobots> spasticteapot: http://www.xgamestation.com/ (it is a bit animation-tastic but gives you an idea)..
[01:15] <bruenig> !hi | krfkeith
[01:15] <krfkeith> and i need a little help
[01:15] <ubotu> krfkeith: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:15] <t0dd> orionrobots: why wouldnt I get any results for scite when searching for it in synaptic?
[01:15] <whta> yeah well i run linux on paperclips and string
[01:15] <krfkeith> thanks
[01:15] <nano> anybody familiar with qemu? please help
[01:15] <IndyGunFreak> abisen: i have no doubt of that.
[01:15] <spasticteapot> Ah....SX key.
[01:15] <bruenig> krfkeith, just throw it out there
[01:15] <IndyGunFreak> abisen: what are you trying to find.
[01:15] <orionrobots> !info scite
[01:15] <ubotu> scite: Lightweight GTK-based Programming Editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.69-1ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 778 kB, installed size 1956 kB
[01:15] <clearze2> I've been following a few walkthroughs online to log on without a password using ssh but I can't get it to work. Can someone help me?
[01:15] <nano> anybody familiar with qemu? please help
[01:15] <nano> anybody familiar with qemu? please help
[01:15] <megafauna> krfkeith: just *new and we'll know it's a correction
[01:15] <krfkeith> well my first question is if someone could tell me how to setup a landline
[01:15] <tm4> i'm out guys, ttyl
[01:15] <spasticteapot> I spent $40 on a single-board computer that can just run Linux.
[01:15] <orionrobots> t0dd: There you go - it is in universe
[01:15] <abisen> IndyGunFreak, just want to try out Ubuntu have heard a lot of good things abt it never used it earlier (had used debian a long time back)
[01:16] <spasticteapot> For $130, you can get a Mini-ITX board with video out.
[01:16] <bruenig> krfkeith, you mean dial up or what?
[01:16] <krfkeith> i mena using ethernet
[01:16] <artis> hello ... can anyone help me ? i can't install ubuntu on my asus loptop it hangs on boot, cd is ok
[01:16] <krfkeith> i have a cable modem
[01:16] <spasticteapot> abisen: Try Xubuntu if you have a slower machine.
[01:16] <EchoBinary> I have an R1F
[01:16] <spasticteapot> Xubuntu rocks, but it has a few annoying bugs.
[01:16] <abisen> IndyGunFreak, so was asking some q's to clear up my queries
[01:16] <IndyGunFreak> abisen: easiest thing to do, is use packages in the repositories, there's a gazillion of them.
[01:16] <guajiro_nj> tn4, thanks for the script
[01:16] <orionrobots> spasticteapot: What I really want to get my hands on (when finance allows) is the Archos PMA400 (or is it the 450)...
[01:16] <krfkeith> it recognizes my card
[01:16] <bruenig> yeah like not being able to log out without freezing
[01:16] <abisen> spasticteapot, i have a very powerful machine
[01:16] <oddie> could bye an xbox 1 and run linux off it...
[01:16] <spasticteapot> abisen: Try Kubuntu or generic-Ubuntu.
[01:16] <whta> whenever I restart my x server with contrl alt backspace or if i try to log out, it takes FOREVER. what could cause that?
[01:16] <krfkeith> and whenever i activate the connection it doesn't do anything
[01:17] <spasticteapot> I actually like XFCE better, but it's a shade buggy.
[01:17] <IndyGunFreak> spasticteapot: i've never had any probs with it(although I do prefer Gnome)
[01:17] <krfkeith> if anybody could help
[01:17] <abisen> spasticteapot, i dont like KDE a whole lot ... have'nt had very nice past experiences with Kde

[01:18] <spasticteapot> The only real problems I have with XFCE is that A. it's hard to edit the launcher menu, and B. you can't drag things on and off the desktop properly.
[01:18] <bruenig> krfkeith, perhaps nobody knows the answer
[01:18] <spasticteapot> They should be fixed soon, though.
[01:18] <krfkeith> do u?
[01:18] <megafauna> artis: that might not be your problem, but it could be a start
[01:18] <infidel> tjl30, what's the error?
[01:18] <whta> whenever I restart my x server with contrl alt backspace or if i try to log out, it takes FOREVER. what could cause that?
[01:18] <spasticteapot> Anyone know when GNOME and KDE became so bloated?
[01:18] <bruenig> spasticteapot, you wimp, just make a .desktop file and put it in /usr/share/applications
[01:18] <spasticteapot> bruenig: Sorry?
[01:18] <tjl30> when I hit the icon for updates the little orange thing
[01:18] <tjl30> it prompts for my password
[01:18] <spasticteapot> bruenig: I tried that - the editor is buggy.
[01:19] <bruenig> spasticteapot, the editor? mousepad?
[01:19] <infidel> tjl30, ok, then?
[01:19] <orionrobots> tjl30: It is meant to ask for your password then.
[01:19] <spasticteapot> I clicked on the "edit" button on the launcher.
[01:19] <artis> megafauna my cd is ok i think there was a problem with hardware coz i cudnt instal knopix debian or any other linux
[01:19] <whta> whenever I restart my x server with contrl alt backspace or if i try to log out, it takes FOREVER. what could cause that?
[01:19] <spasticteapot> I'm holding out for clickand-drag.
[01:19] <spasticteapot> The only real problem is that I keep forgetting what games I have installed.
[01:19] <tjl30> then I get an error pop up
[01:19] <tjl30> error
[01:19] <bruenig> spasticteapot, no not that, go to /usr/share/applications, that is where the menu entries are at. You can create new ones or modify all you need to in there
[01:19] <Vilhelms> When running World of Warcraft through cedega any other application would not be able to play sounds, so I ran a sound test in the Sound Preferences and it gave me this error http://pastebin.ca/raw/373787
[01:19] <spasticteapot> D'oh!
[01:19] <infidel> tjl30, what pasword are you using?
[01:19] <CreepyCrawly> tjl30, can you be more specific i just came
[01:20] <spasticteapot> Still...click-and-drag? Why not?
[01:20] <IndyGunFreak> spasticteapot: if you're a fan of the old breakout game, install LBreakout2
[01:20] <guajiro_nj> tm4, if you're still here - that script did the trick.
[01:20] <tjl30> saying E: Type 'sudo' is not known on line 37 in source list /etc/apt/source/list
[01:20] <megafauna> artis: if you ran linux on your comp with the live cd first then it probably isn't the comp, cuz it worked before. I assume that you're on a second comp now, maybe try to fix the mbr. /me newb too
[01:20] <spasticteapot> IndyGunFreak: I've been in bed for the past two days with pretty much nothing but a Thinkpad.
[01:20] <spasticteapot> I need something new!
[01:20] <bruenig> spasticteapot, you just have to edit text files. They are pretty self explanatory though. What I usually do is open a .desktop file of a similar application and just edit it appropriately for my new one. So if it is an internet application, just edit firefox.desktop and save it as something else
[01:20] <tjl30> E: The list of sources could not be read.
[01:20] <ctothej> how do I stop ubuntu from turning off my monitor
[01:20] <ctothej> ?
[01:20] <orionrobots> tjl30: sounds like your sources list is broken.
[01:20] <CreepyCrawly> spasticteapot, what thinkpad model
[01:20] <ctothej> seems like a 30 minute timeout
[01:21] <spasticteapot> X40.
[01:21] <artis> magafauna: at the moment i have installed debian partly without x and desktop should i reformat the partition ?
[01:21] <tjl30> it says Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem
[01:21] <CreepyCrawly> i love T42 & t43
[01:21] <cobar> spasticteapot: find some flash games online
[01:21] <IndyGunFreak> spasticteapot: lbreakout2 is cool, i love the old breakout game... and i tworks great.. but it might be hard to play with a touchpad
[01:21] <CreepyCrawly> they are the best laptops in the world
[01:21] <cobar> there have to be some good ones
[01:21] <spasticteapot> I don't even have a touchpad - that's the other problem.
[01:21] <CreepyCrawly> spasticteapot, play enemy territory
[01:21] <nano> anybody familiar with qemu? please help
[01:21] <nano> anybody familiar with qemu? please help
[01:21] <spasticteapot> CreepyCrawly: Will that run on my crappy intel integrated graphics?
[01:21] <orionrobots> Ok - tjl30 - go to System->Administration->Software sources
[01:21] <artis> magafauna: i haven;t ran ubuntu at all on this loptop
[01:22] <artis> it hangs
[01:22] <CreepyCrawly> spasticteapot, try it :)
[01:22] <spasticteapot> May as well..
[01:22] <orionrobots> spasticteapot; Maybe you need to play nethack...
[01:22] <orionrobots> :p
[01:22] <megafauna> Hi how do I force VLC to quit? It won't shut down, I have to alt+tab to get out of fullscreen?
[01:22] <spasticteapot> orionrobots: Tried it...could'nt get into it.
[01:22] <spasticteapot> I miss being able to tell the GM: "So, he thinks he's tough? I flick boogers at him!"
[01:23] <infidel> tjl30, open console and type sudo apt-get update and let me what happens
[01:23] <spasticteapot> That said, if anyone knew of a version of OpenRPG that actually ran under ubuntu, that would be nice.
[01:23] <orionrobots> spasticteapot: It never did quite compare to real RPG'ing did it..
[01:23] <IndyGunFreak> spasticteapot: what about planet penguin racer?
[01:23] <spasticteapot> Been playing it - I suck.
[01:23] <CreepyCrawly> bah
[01:23] <orionrobots> No bloomin racing penguins..
[01:23] <orionrobots> They really are a bit of a bore..
[01:23] <spasticteapot> IndyGunFreak: I keep missing the stupid herring....
[01:24] <tjl30> E: Type 'sudo' is not known on line 37 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:24] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[01:24] <IndyGunFreak> spasticteapot: another one i like, is Ksnakerace
[01:24] <Iced_Kirby> What do I put for Mount Point for the Root and for the swap?
[01:24] <spasticteapot> Ksnakerace?
[01:24] <IndyGunFreak> and obviously kirstet(tetris)
[01:24] <spasticteapot> Hopefully it will run...
[01:24] <bruenig> tjl30, do this, sudo sed 's/sudo//g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:24] <marx2k> root = /
[01:24] <CreepyCrawly> spasticteapot, then you should play sudoku
[01:24] <IndyGunFreak> spasticteapot: its annoyinglys imple, but gets very hard.. and with a touchpad, it might be hard
[01:24] <marx2k> swap = swap :)
[01:25] <Iced_Kirby> When I put / it says "No root file system"
[01:25] <orionrobots> I like sudoko - I wander if there is an app that does "killer" style soduko..
[01:25] <spasticteapot> Seriously, though...does anyone know if there's a version of OpenRPG that works under Ubuntu?
[01:25] <spasticteapot> Or, for that matter, how I can run Doom fullscreen?
[01:25] <CreepyCrawly> orionrobots, i bought a handheld sudoku game
[01:25] <infidel> tjl30, look at the source.list file on line 37 and see what is there
[01:25] <CreepyCrawly> heh
[01:25] <Iced_Kirby> When I put / it says "No root file system"

[01:35] <marx2k> yep
[01:35] <Iced_Kirby> tanlaan: I don't think so

[01:38] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:38] <tjl30> dicked up?
[01:38] <rubbs> I *may* be able to help you
[01:38] <infidel> yeah
[01:39] <tjl30> ok I can't save the sources.list files after I edited it
[01:39] <Flannel> Iced_Kirby: what's your question?
[01:39] <tjl30> it says read only
[01:39] <bruenig> tjl30, you need to gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list then you should be able to save it
[01:39] <Iced_Kirby> flannel: Time for copy and paste: I made a 3GB ext2 and a 1GB linux-swap partition. I am intalling Ubuntu right now, I am at the "Prepare mount points". What do I do?
[01:39] <gopp> but I can't seem to figure out why it didn't boot after isntall
[01:39] <IndyGunFreak> tjl30: sudo gedit /path to file/
[01:39] <Flannel> tjl30: you need to open it as a super user, use gksudo or sudo, dpeending on your program you're editing it with
[01:39] <bruenig> gksudo
[01:39] <gopp> ppc ubuntu
[01:39] <infidel> tjl30, you need to edit as sudo
[01:39] <tanlaan> anyone know how to change the gamma settings under ubuntu
[01:40] <chad> Any Xfce experts? I have to manually start xfwm4 after logging in and I now that's not right but I don't know where to look.
[01:40] <rubbs> Iced_Kirby: I don't really think I've ever had to do that...  but I think you flag the /boot to the partition you want to boot from
[01:40] <Flannel> Iced_Kirby: Er... specify your 3GB partition as /, then the 1GB as a swap partition?  Or am I not understanding
[01:40] <bruenig> chad, put it in the startup applications
[01:40] <Frogzoo> tanlaan: you got ati?
[01:40] <rubbs> Iced_kirby:  Opps... yeah... you want to flag it as /
[01:40] <javiolo> !soulseek
[01:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about soulseek - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:40] <infidel> Frogzoo, you have an ati issue?
[01:40] <Iced_Kirby> rubbs: Which one?
[01:40] <TaTonka> who can tell me the correct way to put XGL and kiba dock on ubuntu
[01:40] <superkirbyartist> Hello there, how can we manage partitions?
[01:40] <Frogzoo> infidel: nope
[01:40] <Iced_Kirby> rubbs: The ext2 or the swap?
[01:40] <bruenig> TaTonka, perhaps #ubuntu-effects
[01:41] <chad> really, bruenig? That seems too obivous! :)
[01:41] <superkirbyartist> I need a partition creator.
[01:41] <infidel> superkirbyartist, cfdisk
[01:41] <rubbs> Iced_Kirby: the ext3 or ext2
[01:41] <superkirbyartist> infidel: graphics?
[01:41] <CaptainMorgan> where does ktorrent default its downloads to? I just downloaded something and it says it's complete.. but I can't find it
[01:41] <infidel> superkirbyartist, no
[01:41] <IndyGunFreak> superkirbyartist: what about qparted?
[01:41] <tanlaan> Frogzoo: i have no idea... >.<
[01:41] <Flannel> Iced_Kirby: the swap partition is for swap, the other (one you want to install to) is /
[01:41] <gopp> !kubuntu > CaptainMorgan
[01:41] <Iced_Kirby> rubbs: When I do that in the mount points ( / is the ext2 and swap is swap) it says "No root file system"
[01:42] <bruenig> CaptainMorgan, it doesn't by default put anything anywhere, its default behavior is to ask you where to put it. You have to configure it to autosave
[01:42] <superkirbyartist> Indyguyfreak command not fount... is it gfx and installable?
[01:42] <Flannel> Iced_Kirby: altough, traditionally, ext3 is default, not 2, but it'll work fine.
[01:42] <bruenig> CaptainMorgan, but you should be able to look through the preferences to see where that is, if for some reason it has been configured to autosave
[01:42] <Iced_Kirby> Flannel: When I do that in the mount points ( / is the ext2 and swap is swap) it says "No root file system"
[01:42] <IndyGunFreak> superkirbyartist: yoiu probably need to install it.
[01:42] <rubbs> Iced_Kirby: The swap is basically a place for virtual memory... in a manner of speaking
[01:42] <superkirbyartist> bruenig that installed a virus.
[01:42] <CaptainMorgan> thanks bruenig
[01:43] <Flannel> Iced_Kirby: right, that's a bug.  Uh, I believe the workaround is to go back a step, then come back to it and set it again.  But, I don't really remember.
[01:43] <superkirbyartist> Can I make Mac OS partitions?
[01:43] <bruenig> superkirbyartist, what?
[01:43] <Iced_Kirby> Flannel: Okay...
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> superkirbyartist: what installed a virus?
[01:43] <superkirbyartist> He made me do a sudo rm *.*
[01:43] <nero> question- I am about to migrate from a Fedora Core 5 install to Ubuntu.  I have a blank internal drive, that would like to transfer my home directory to for backup (so that I can do a totally clean install of Ubuntu).  Is it as easy as copying the home dir to the drive, installing ubuntu, then copying the files back? or is there a better way that takes into consideration permissions, etc.
[01:43] <Iced_Kirby> Flannel: Please pray for me that I don't destroy my computer. Please
[01:43] <bruenig> oh you are the one who said I hacked your computer like a month ago
[01:43] <Taime1> i have a dell laptop with a broadcom (lspci tells me its broadcom) wireless card.... but ubuntu doesnt install the driver for it... is it possible to install the driver for this wireless card?
[01:43] <LCS-One> superkirbyartist: wow, you'd be screwed if you did rm -rf /
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> superkirbyartist: i have a hard time believing he intentionally installed a virus on your PC
[01:44] <superkirbyartist> How do I install a Mac OS partition?
[01:44] <infidel> nero, is /home on it's own partition?
[01:44] <rubbs> Iced_Kirby: Sorry I don't know a whole lot about it... and unfortunatly I have to go.
[01:44] <mindstate> !wireless | Taime1
[01:44] <ubotu> Taime1: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:44] <bruenig> superkirbyartist, you don't install partitions? that is hardware
[01:44] <marx2k> !ndiswrapper | Taimel
[01:44] <ubotu> Taimel: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:44] <nero> infidel, it is, but is ex2, and I would like to reformat it to ext3..
[01:44] <LCS-One> !sendmail
[01:44] <IndyGunFreak> superkirbyartist: just curious, you just leveled an accusation at brunig for supposedly hacking your PC, and yet you want people to help you
[01:44] <Iced_Kirby> flannel: It still says No root file system
[01:44] <ubotu> sendmail: powerful, efficient, and scalable Mail Transport Agent. In component universe, is extra. Version 8.13.8-2 (edgy), package size 191 kB, installed size 248 kB
[01:44] <ryanakca> how would I rotate 25 images by 180%? I have imagemagick installed
[01:44] <Iced_Kirby> flannel: should I start installation over?
[01:44] <rubbs> Iced_Kirby: Good luck!  I'll pray for your system
[01:44] <userund> nero: should be as easy as that.  but I'd forego keeping config files and such of gnome/gtk or kde since there would likely be conflicts between the distros.  if program versions are the same, normal programs should be fine
[01:45] <superkirbyartist> It doesn't matter, I just installed ubuntu again... it's a computer for sale.
[01:45] <superkirbyartist> How do we make mac os partitions?
[01:45] <gopp> any here know if I have to do anything special to boot from ubuntu ppc
[01:45] <IndyGunFreak> superkirbyartist: well, i'm sure you'll figure it out
[01:45] <bruenig> ha
[01:45] <superkirbyartist> How can I do a right click from the keyboard?
[01:45] <Iced_Kirby> rubbs: It still says No root file system
[01:45] <superkirbyartist> It's an iMac mouse after all.
[01:45] <nero> userund, gotcha..  I'm not terribly worried about the config stuff.. other than my thunderbird mail, but that should transfer fine i'd think.
[01:45] <IndyGunFreak> superkirbyartist: click it with your right hand
[01:45] <superkirbyartist> Indygunfreak, iMac mouse.
[01:45] <bruenig> superkirbyartist, depends on the keyboard, on my keyboard there is a little menu thing by the right control key
[01:45] <Flannel> Iced_Kirby: ah, found it.  you'll need to delete that partition, and then recreate it.
[01:45] <infidel> nero, i thought you could upgrade to ext3 without distrying the data
[01:46] <Iced_Kirby> flannel: which one?
[01:46] <superkirbyartist> bruenig: sorry, but imac keyboard.
[01:46] <Flannel> Iced_Kirby: the ext2 one (/)
[01:46] <bruenig> get a real keyboard
[01:46] <Iced_Kirby> flannel: Okay, I'll try that now
[01:46] <nero> infidel, I probably can, but I'd also like to make the partition a little bigger.. and figure, it might be time to just do a wipe and clean install.
[01:46] <IndyGunFreak> superkirbyartist: you're aparently still under the illusion we're trying to help you
[01:46] <mindstate> lmao
[01:46] <IndyGunFreak> superkirbyartist: try right clicking your monitor
[01:46] <Flannel> bruenig: "real" keyboards don't have that key, only windows keyboards do.  Don't be so asinine.
[01:46] <tjl30> fantastic it works now
[01:46] <tjl30> thanks guys
[01:47] <infidel> nero, i see
[01:47] <infidel> nero, just do a backup then
[01:47] <IndyGunFreak> bruenig: i don't really blame you, thats a pretty serious accusation, and if yu're gonna say it, you should have something to back it up
[01:47] <nero> one last question- I noticed that ubuntu is only one CD.  Are most of the packages online, etc??  (guess I am used to downloading 4-5 cds for FC, 95% of which I dont use ;) )
[01:47] <superkirbyartist> Isn't that a shame?  I had to run upstairs to get a MICROSOFT mouse.
[01:48] <Iced_Kirby> Flannel: Should it be ext3 or 2? The docs say 2 is for small partitions, the partition is only 3GB
[01:48] <bruenig> it is funny two because I can't imagine what *.* would match, except I guess if you are in the home directory
[01:48] <IndyGunFreak> nero: most of the packages are easily installed via the repositories(you'll need internet access, but its easy)
[01:48] <bruenig> but even then, that would just delete the configs, which remake themselves
[01:48] <Flannel> Iced_Kirby: ext3 is the norm nowadays, I don't think anyone really uses ext2 anymore
[01:48] <superkirbyartist> I have Gparted, how can we split partitions?
[01:48] <Iced_Kirby> flannel: Then I go for 3?
[01:48] <nero> IndyGunFreak, that what I figured.. :)  Just wanted to make sure before making the leap!
[01:48] <hne> hi
[01:48] <Flannel> Iced_Kirby: sure
[01:48] <hne> sikimi yiyin
[01:48] <hne> trkiSh
[01:48] <hne> man
[01:48] <infidel> Iced_Kirby, the only partition i would make ext2 would be /boot
[01:48] <bruenig> s/two/too/
[01:48] <Iced_Kirby> flannel: What happened to /?
[01:48] <IndyGunFreak> nero: its pretty easy, bu tit does install a few packages from the get go
[01:48] <IndyGunFreak> Firefox, GIMP, etc..
[01:49] <shazam> is it safe to install ubuntu
[01:49] <yomm> a heavy reverb has suddenly appeared on all my sound . I examined the ALSAMIXER but couldn't find anything reverb/echo related .. any ideas ?
[01:49] <shazam> and upgrade to unstable?
[01:49] <nero> IndyGunFreak,  I have been suffering under Yum with FC for so long.. I am just hoping Ubuntu is a little nicer..
[01:49] <bruenig> shazam, I wouldn't call it safe being two months out, maybe #ubuntu+1 would be better at answering
[01:49] <IndyGunFreak> nero:  been there done that before I made the leap my friend, you're gonna love Synaptic
[01:49] <Flannel> shazam: Feisty?  Feisty is alpha software, it's stable day-to-day, you should ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:49] <mindstate> nero, APT is gawd
[01:50] <Cloudy> !apt
[01:50] <ubotu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[01:50] <Cloudy> !Synaptic
[01:50] <ubotu> synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[01:50] <EchoBinary> an echo?
[01:50] <yomm> yum
[01:50] <nero> ahh good.. so Ubuntu is apt.. I like apt..
[01:50] <yomm> !botsnack
[01:50] <ubotu> Yum!
[01:50] <bruenig> echo more generally
[01:50] <IndyGunFreak> !yum
[01:50] <ubotu> yum: Advanced front-end for rpm. In component universe, is extra. Version 2.4.0-3.1 (edgy), package size 197 kB, installed size 960 kB
[01:50] <yomm> :)
[01:50] <mindstate> lol that was cool
[01:51] <EchoBinary> :-D
[01:51] <IndyGunFreak> mindstate: what was?
[01:51] <mindstate> !botsnack
[01:51] <ubotu> Yum!
[01:51] <mindstate> that
[01:51] <mindstate> lol
[01:51] <yomm> !aptitude
[01:51] <ubotu> aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT, like apt-get. However, aptitude can remember the dependencies installed with a package and remove them if you uninstall. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide
[01:51] <IndyGunFreak> oh, i just got that...lol, hilarious
[01:51] <Iced_Kirby> flannel: It worked now. All I have to do is click install.......
[01:51] <yomm> !ubuntu-nl
[01:51] <mindstate> haha
[01:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-nl - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:51] <Flannel> !nl
[01:51] <ubotu> Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl
[01:51] <Iced_Kirby> flannel: Should I click?
[01:52] <mindstate> does alien have a good .rpm to .deb conversion rate? or does it only work sometime
[01:52] <userund> mindstate: everytime I've tried it's worked
[01:52] <bruenig> !alien | mindstate sometimes compile if you can
[01:52] <IndyGunFreak> mindstate: i've had a 50/50 success rate
[01:52] <ubotu> mindstate sometimes compile if you can: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[01:52] <Cloudy> Ooh. That reminds me that I need to install Alien.
[01:52] <mindstate> ok thanks guys
[01:53] <andre> sup folks
[01:53] <mindstate> i only used it one time and it worked
[01:53] <IndyGunFreak> Cloudy: its like installing WIne to use WIndows packages, try to use a native debian package
[01:53] <bruenig> !howdy | andre
[01:53] <ubotu> andre: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:53] <Iced_Kirby> Flannel: What about the "GRUB will be installed to (hd0)" ? Do I leave that alone?
[01:53] <andre> Does anyone know if ubucon was videotaped?
[01:53] <bruenig> IndyGunFreak, not quite the same but ok
[01:53] <IndyGunFreak> bruenig: its pretty similar, other than deb and rpm are linux
[01:53] <mindstate> andre, maybe youtube?
[01:53] <marx2k> Iced_Kirby,  how many HD's you got?
[01:53] <Comrade-Sergei> bruenig something a little less clunky like the one in vista?
[01:54] <marx2k> is hd0 where your system boots from?
[01:54] <Cloudy> IndyGunFreak: Oh, I know, I just like having the option open
[01:54] <andre> mindstate:  13 sec vid only
[01:54] <bruenig> well and wine is a compatibility layer that allows you to run windows programs, whereas alien just converts packages
[01:54] <Iced_Kirby> marx2k: One. It's in partitions though
[01:54] <IndyGunFreak> bruenig: true.
[01:54] <marx2k> yeah then its hd0
[01:54] <bruenig> Comrade-Sergei, I have not seen the vista one, maybe a screenshot would help
[01:54] <Iced_Kirby> marx2k: Okay, wish me luck installing!
[01:54] <IndyGunFreak> Anyone know where i can get a .deb file of the game secondlife?
[01:55] <marx2k> you want grub to be put on your boot drive.. whatever partitions youre booting goes into /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:55] <IndyGunFreak> i thought it was in the repos
[01:55] <marx2k> !secondlife
[01:55] <jlamr> b
[01:55] <Frogzoo> !appdb | IndyGunFreak
[01:55] <Iced_Kirby> marx2k: So it stays as hd0?
[01:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about secondlife - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:55] <Comrade-Sergei> bruenig hold on
[01:55] <ubotu> IndyGunFreak: Appdb is a database of apps & help for programs that run under wine: see http://appdb.winehq.org
[01:55] <infidel> anyone like rap here?
[01:55] <marx2k> Iced: yep
[01:55] <Iced_Kirby> marx2k: Okay
[01:55] <mindstate> ooo thats nice
[01:55] <marx2k> Iced: Its just asking where your MBR is at
[01:55] <IndyGunFreak> Frogzoo: i didn't run it with Wine
[01:55] <marx2k> which, if you only have one hard drive, is hd0
[01:56] <ohir> anyone knows if postgresql 8.2.x will be backported to 6.06 LTS?
[01:57] <Flannel> ohir: most likely not
[01:57] <ohir> thx Flannel.
[01:57] <Comrade-Sergei> bruenig http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/5616/avistasidebarprebeta2scrn0lk.jpg
[01:57] <Iced_Kirby> Its installing!
[01:57] <Iced_Kirby> 34%
[01:57] <DEinspanjer> I'm sorry folks, I had to run away to take care of baby.
[01:58] <bruenig> Comrade-Sergei, yeah that looks pretty much like gdesklets, just pick your widgets right
[01:58] <marx2k> Iced what partitions do you have?
[01:58] <marx2k> I typically have 2... the main linux which is '/' and then the swap which is fswap
[01:58] <Comrade-Sergei> bruenig but tis so sleek
[01:58] <DEinspanjer> Did anyone answer my question about whether the ubuntu 64-bit PC (AMD64) iso is the right one to download for an Intel Core 2 Duo chip?
[01:58] <Iced_Kirby> marx2k: Two, ext2 and swap. I followed the docs and IRC help
[01:58] <bruenig> Comrade-Sergei, there are some sleek gdesklet configurations
[01:59] <marx2k> why didnt you use ext3?

[01:59] <Iced_Kirby> marx2k: I mean ext3 :P
[01:59] <bruenig> Comrade-Sergei, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Gdesklets.png
[01:59] <Iced_Kirby> marx2k: I mean ext3 and swap
[01:59] <marx2k> ok :)
[01:59] <bruenig> Comrade-Sergei, I mean that one is overdone on purpose, but you get the idea
[01:59] <colbert> how do I add a "My Computer"-like icon to my desktop so I can explore my drives/filesystem when I double click it ??
[02:00] <Iced_Kirby> marx2k: I hope this works...
[02:00] <marx2k> colbert: you using gnome or kde?
[02:00] <colbert> marx2k: gnome
[02:00] <Comrade-Sergei> bruenig ill check it out thanks
[02:00] <marx2k> colbert: add a new folder to the desktop, point it to /media
[02:01] <colbert> marx2k: How do I change what it points to ??
[02:01] <marx2k> right click and go to properties :)
[02:02] <colbert> marx2k: yes I do that but it only tells me where it points to, I cannot change it
[02:02] <marx2k> Hm....
[02:03] <marx2k> type this into console 'ln -s /media ~/Desktop/WhateverYouWant
[02:03] <marx2k> '
[02:03] <oddie> has anyone created a media centre from ubuntu?
[02:03] <riotkittie> oh god. i've been lured to the dark side. ive spent more time in win xp today than i have in the 3months since i went back to linux :\
[02:04] <koiron> i'm trying to find out if ubuntu will support my notebook's 1280x768 widescreen resolution...  anyone know? :D
[02:04] <marx2k> if your vidcard supports it, ubuntu will support it
[02:04] <riotkittie> koiron : yea, it should. you may need to tweak xorg but
[02:05] <koiron> an ATI X600 64mb is in the notebook
[02:05] <marx2k> <-- ATI 9600 Radeon in an HP nc6000 notebook @ 1280x768
[02:05] <Taime1> i have a widescreen
[02:05] <Taime1> and ati card
[02:06] <Taime1> worked right out of the box
[02:06] <koiron> sweet! :)
[02:06] <koiron> thanks guys
[02:06] <Taime1> actually, worked better than windows did
[02:06] <koiron> now here's my other question...
[02:07] <Cloudy> What could cause this? "checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... no" I've got the latest gcc package..
[02:07] <koiron> i'm gonna resize the 80gb ntfs partition, how much space shud i give ubuntu?
[02:07] <mjg> hi - can anyone help me set up a printer using ubuntu?
[02:07] <AndrewB> !inittab
[02:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about inittab - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:07] <AndrewB> hmm
[02:07] <Raider1> Uhh, stupid question .. What do I have to apt-get to get all the gcc man pages ?? .. I did an apt-get install gcc-4.1-doc but it seems I'm still not getting the manpages for anything in C or C++
[02:07] <infidel> mjg, what sems to be the problem?
[02:07] <marx2k> koiron: Thats a question only you can answer
[02:08] <colbert> marx2k: Okay it worked but it goes to the "media" folder instead of *inside* the media folder, how could I do that ?
[02:08] <marx2k> colbert: did you type 'media' or /media'
[02:08] <mjg> It's shared w/ samba from a windows xp machine, and I can run the setup wizard OK, and find the printer, but when I finish, it doesn't appear in the list of printers (only "Install New Printer" is there, still)
[02:09] <colbert> I typed /media
[02:09] <infidel> mjg, which printer?
[02:09] <mjg> it's a canon mp600
[02:09] <marx2k> colbert: all of your drives should be in /media
[02:09] <koiron> i'd like to keep all my documents and everything on my windows ntfs.  i'd like to use ubuntu as obviously an alternative to xp and see how well it works for me, perhaps in the future removing windoze
[02:09] <infidel> mjg, which driver are you using?
[02:10] <riotkittie> ok. save me from myself.  ive just discovered the wonder of ati's extended desktop, and i am liking this. A LOT. enough to keep me in winXP for the last three or four hours. and really, ive spent about 20 mins total in win in the last four months.  my laptop's graphics chip is a lousy ati mobility m1, and ati's snazzy linux drivers will not work for me :(  is it going to be possible to get extended desktop under ubuntuuuu?  <weep>
[02:10] <marx2k> koiron: 5 gigs? 7?
[02:10] <riotkittie> i seem to recall messing around with Xinerama a few months ago but having no success.
[02:10] <koiron> is that how much ubuntu normally requires with some spare space?
[02:11] <mjg> thx infidel... I'm using the driver for the Canon iP4200.  I downloaded the ppd from canon's ftp site
[02:11] <marx2k> koiron: I think ubuntu installs to like 3 gigs or something
[02:11] <colbert> marx2k: Yes, they are it works great, just wondering if it can open the media folder itself and show its contents directly instead of showing the folder media
[02:11] <marx2k> maybeless
[02:11] <koiron> thanks marx2k
[02:12] <marx2k> colbert: not sure what you mean... so the folder media is inside the folder media??
[02:13] <colbert> marx2k: Sorry, what I mean is when I double click "Computer" (my folder I made) it shows the folder Media, and I have to double click it to see the drives and all.. I want to double click "Computer" and see media's contents already instead
[02:13] <oddie> koiron: I have installed on a 20gig because I have a windows partition that i can't write too....

[02:13] <koiron> oddie, can't u mount the windows partition in ubuntu?
[02:14] <oddie> koiron: yep its mounted but NTFS so I can't write to it...
[02:14] <gdb> ntfs?
[02:14] <oddie> koiron: I download files then copy to a server
[02:14] <koiron> hmm
[02:14] <marx2k> colbert: just move the Media folder out to the desktop and  remove Computer, then rename Media to Computer :)
[02:15] <koiron> so if im running xp on a ntfs partition... im kinda screwed?
[02:15] <oddie> is there currently a supported NTFS writing system at the moment?
[02:15] <marx2k> linux can read ntfs but not write to it
[02:15] <marx2k> oddie I think so but not very well
[02:15] <koiron> now i'm sad :|
[02:15] <colbert> marx2k: LOL, I wasn't born yesterday, I swear it.. lol thanks that's the answer ;)
[02:16] <usuario> usuario
[02:16] <rbil> oddie: I was reading last week that fuse (a driver that reads/writes to ntfs) has gone stable
[02:16] <oddie> markx2k: any software I have found there has been warning when installing saying that data can be lost.....
[02:16] <marx2k> ;)
[02:16] <LordKeiden> oddie: i installed a package , ntfs3 i think, that gives rw access to linux for ntfs. i have been using it for a few weeks, no problems for me.
[02:16] <oddie> rbil: sweet
[02:16] <marx2k> oddie: thats a warning that comes with any software that deals with hard drives
[02:17] <marx2k> but Id back shit up :)
[02:17] <kitche> rbil: true but it's the same version that was unstable :P
[02:17] <oddie> 600gig to backup....
[02:17] <gdb> rbiil: for which versions of ntfs?
[02:17] <mjg> infidel, I followed instructions from http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-PIXMA_MP600
[02:17] <kitche> !ohmy | marx2k
[02:17] <ubotu> marx2k: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[02:17] <marx2k> we're all adults here, I would think
[02:17] <oddie> rbil: i'll look into fuse
[02:17] <mjg> but I don't get any error message, or any printer, or anything
[02:17] <oddie> rbil: thanks
[02:17] <rbil> gdb: sorry, no idea. I don't use ntfs, so didn't pay much attention to the news release

[02:18] <ataq> hey anyone use the ati x1950PRO 250MB on Ubuntu?
[02:19] <jlamr> will ubuntu automatically detect wifi access points like windows, or do I need some other packages
[02:19] <JamesG> Can anyone suggest some CD burning software? Not looking for "the best", but just some to pick from :)
[02:20] <userund> JamesG: bonfire, k3b
[02:20] <Taime1> autodetects for me jlamr
[02:20] <bruenig> JamesG, k3b gnomebaker, or if you like command line cdrecord is fun
[02:20] <mjg> jlamr, me too
[02:20] <JamesG> Thanks
[02:20] <robbie_crash> What is causing this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7608/  And how can I fix it?
[02:20] <keex> hello.
[02:20] <ataq> whats ATI like on Linux?
[02:20] <gdb> howdy
[02:21] <kitche> ataq: a pain
[02:21] <billy> hello?
[02:21] <userund> ataq: ridiculous

[02:21] <ubotu> billy: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[02:21] <marx2k> !k3b | jamesg
[02:21] <ubotu> jamesg: k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto
[02:21] <billy> bruenig, thanks
[02:21] <ataq> kitche: why so? I want a new graphics card, high end.  But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[02:21] <billy> =-]
[02:22] <Gast243> Hey there
[02:22] <rbil> ataq: Nvidia is better supported with Linux. What price range you looking at? What type of card?
[02:22] <Gast243> I need some support... :(
[02:22] <mjg> infidel, any idea?
[02:22] <atomiku> Gast243: then get some
[02:23] <ataq> rbil: I have a 6600. I want to spend about 220 max
[02:23] <Gast243> May I get some right here? :<
[02:23] <billy> anyone help w/ evolution?
[02:23] <atomiku> Gast243: yes
[02:23] <atomiku> just ask
[02:23] <keex> I compiled my own kernel, since then I get errors from dpkg -> http://phpfi.com/208817
[02:23] <robbie_crash> I have a broken VMWare-Player install that I cannot reinstall over, remove, or properly run software updates until I solve the issue
[02:23] <robbie_crash> but I have no idea what is causing it, nor how to fix it
[02:24] <Gast243> The problem is: Everytime I'm plugging in an external Hard Disk via USB ( File format: FAT / FAT 32 ) ubuntu gets stuck and I need to do a complete restart
[02:24] <billy> regarding evolution, i have two email accounts, really mine and my wifes.  evolution puts it all together under "on this computer>inbox".  how can i separate the accounts?
[02:24] <rbil> robbie_crash: you probably upgraded your kernel and the kernel-modules for vmplayer aren't there
[02:24] <keex> I can't get fuse configured
[02:24] <robbie_crash> The output for my problem is here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7608/
[02:24] <Taime1> robbie_crash, i learned how to completely uninstall a program including the configuration files, woule that help?
[02:24] <robbie_crash> Taime1: it might
[02:25] <rbil> robbie_crash: does this look like your situtation? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=358275&page=3
[02:25] <robbie_crash> rbil: I installed vm after my last kernel upgrade
[02:25] <rbil> read that link
[02:25] <billy> regarding evolution, i have two email accounts, really mine and my wifes.  evolution puts it all together under "on this computer>inbox".  how can i separate the accounts?
[02:25] <andre> Does anyone know if ubucon was videotaped?
[02:25] <mjg> OK - so my printer will not install properly.  It's shared from an XP machine, and I can run the add-printer-wizard, and everything looks ok, but afterwards: no printer.  Any ideas anyone?
[02:26] <eobanb> which one do you guys recommend; xchat, or xchat-gnome
[02:26] <Gast243> no one has an answer? =(
[02:26] <Gast243> or at least a suggestion?^^
[02:26] <billy> eobanb, i never used xchat-gnome
[02:26] <mjg> Gast243: does your computer just lock up completely?
[02:27] <Gast243> mjg: yes
[02:28] <arkanjul> IF anyone has a sec - I am having trouble with xorg - "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" - is giving me "Permission Denied" (I am the Admin) - I have 6.10.
[02:28] <mjg> I can only suggest checking /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog after you reboot to see if anything showed up before it died
[02:28] <mjg> if the drive works with other computers and so on
[02:28] <TheVault> Hello guys, I have a few questions about Ubuntu that I did not think up until the other day, anybody able to help answer my 2 questions I have?
[02:28] <Gast243> mjg: It does.. It also worked on that one before I've installed ubuntu
[02:29] <robbie_crash> !anyone
[02:29] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[02:29] <billy> regarding evolution, i have two email accounts, really mine and my wifes.  evolution puts it all together under "on this computer>inbox".  how can i separate the accounts?
[02:29] <arkanjul> What is a packed command for newest xorg version?
[02:29] <mjg> Gast243: not sure, sorry
[02:30] <meleahbee> i updated my kernel to the latest generic one, and now i dont have sound, at first my X11 wasnt working so i had to use my backup conf
[02:30] <Gast243> mjg: I've just completely reinstalled ubuntu... Maybe there was something wrong with the previous installation
[02:30] <TheVault> Question 1: I dual booted WinXp and Ubuntu before but screwed myself up when linux was being a jerk(at least on my end anyway) and when I tried to remove the grub boot loader, I did not know what to do. I found some information that using fixmbr or something like that with the CD removes that, is that what your suppose to do?
[02:30] <marx2k> meleahbee, play with alsamixer
[02:30] <mjg> my printer will not install properly.  It's shared from an XP machine, and I can run the add-printer-wizard, and everything looks ok, but afterwards: no printer.  Any ideas anyone?
[02:30] <marx2k> make sure your PCM is turned on
[02:31] <tonyyarusso> When switching from console (Ctrl-Alt-F1) to Gnome (Ctrl-Alt-F7) and back, my music (rhythmbox) pauses very briefly.  Is there a way to avoid this?
[02:31] <marx2k> TheVault: What do you want the end result to be?
[02:31] <meleahbee> marx2k: i am trying the options through "sound preferences" and testing them all and getting no sound output
[02:31] <marx2k> tonyyarusso, up the buffer value maybe?
[02:31] <tonyyarusso> marx2k: How?
[02:31] <marx2k> meleahbee, type alsamixer in console
[02:31] <timfrost> arkanjul: what are you trying to do?  If you want to edit xorg.conf, you need to do so with 'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf' or 'gksu gedit  /etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[02:32] <TheVault> marx2k: If anything ever goes wrong with Ubuntu or something, I wanna be able to use Windows as my primary os again until I get the guts to fiddle with linux again
[02:32] <marx2k> tonyyarusso, its software dependent so I really wouldnt know..check prefs in there
[02:32] <tonyyarusso> marx2k: poking in options now
[02:32] <marx2k> TheVault: Grub loader will still be on there
[02:32] <marx2k> just make sure that your /boot directory is intact
[02:32] <TheVault> What if I wanna remove that
[02:32] <TheVault> Grub Boot Loader
[02:32] <marx2k> you can install XP's bootloader over it
[02:33] <TheVault> with the fixmbr command on the cd recovery mode?
[02:33] <marx2k> yup
[02:33] <TheVault> Alright, Thank you....gotta think of my 2nd question i wuz about to ask
[02:34] <robbie_crash> rbil: That thread did not help me since I cannot remove, reinstall, or configure vmware-player at all
[02:34] <a5benwillis> robbie_crash: Why cant you reinstall?
[02:34] <robbie_crash> I have no idea
[02:35] <rbil> robbie_crash: if you ran an earlier kernel, you should be able to reinstall
[02:35] <TheVault> Question 2: I am going to be trying to get my broadcom 43xx wireless network card to work. Iv used Ubuntu & LIVE CD before and found that it shows device unknown when I was searching for what internet devices of what I had but found the ethernet port just fine. If I screw anything up in Ubuntu, is there a system restore feature like XP that you can go back in time?
[02:35] <a5benwillis> what does it tell you?
[02:35] <robbie_crash> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7608/
[02:35] <robbie_crash> I haven't upgraded my kernel in probably a month
[02:35] <rbil> robbie_crash:  what kernel u running now? 'uname -r'
[02:35] <robbie_crash> and this vmware deal started happening the other day
[02:36] <robbie_crash> 2.6.7-11-generic
[02:36] <a5benwillis> robbie_crash: Have you tried reinstalling from source instead of apt-get?
[02:36] <Jevon> I just installed the deprec gem on my fresh Dapper install, but it didn't install 'deprec_dotfiles' along with it (as every install doc/readme says it will). Anyone in here experienced with Deprec on Dapper?
[02:36] <marx2k> TheVault, Im not sure what you could really screw up... you just want to use ndiswrapper
[02:37] <marx2k> whatever you do, just work backwards and you have no problem
[02:37] <arkanjul> I need a repository for xorg 11 - anyone have one?
[02:37] <robbie_crash> a5benwillis: no
[02:37] <piclez> hi, how can I clean a txt file content without deleting it please? :)
[02:37] <sivik_> why can't i get linux-headers for my current version of the kernel, anything above 2.4 isn't present
[02:37] <sivik_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7732/
[02:37] <robbie_crash> I just want to remove it though, not reinstall
[02:38] <TheVault> marx2k: Yeah, I have a few tutorials bookmarked and things on how to do all that. But when I was using the LIVE CD, I was coming into a lot of errors and things. Is it common for people with Broadcom Network Cards to show up as Broadcom unknown device?
[02:38] <Ponyboy> Hello
[02:38] <marx2k> I think so, until they use ndiswrapper :)
[02:38] <naut> If I want to run a command line program from another process
[02:38] <bruenig> arkanjul, ubuntu main?
[02:38] <naut> but not have all the output buffered and sent back in one huge dump when the command exits
[02:38] <Ponyboy> Does anyone here need help with anything?
[02:38] <naut> how can I do that?
[02:38] <sivik_> marx2k, what card?
[02:38] <naut> I need to run some kind of pseudo terminal programmatically
[02:38] <TheVault> So for example, it shows the full name of my ethernet port just fine but when it shows broadcom unknown device for when searching for my wireless network card
[02:38] <marx2k> robbie: 'aptitude uninstall vmware-player'?

[02:40] <Ponyboy> I didn't know what the trigger was
[02:40] <robbie_crash> marx2k: you mean remove vmware-player? Same thing
[02:40] <Ponyboy> This is my first time on IRC.
[02:40] <sivik_> naut: already have that installed
[02:40] <dkbg> Its similar to what happened when I installed dapper
[02:40] <dkbg> It gives me the options for installing, the ubuntu logo appears with a progress bar, then I get a blank screen
[02:40] <marx2k> robbie_crash,  right but have the system do it for you
[02:40] <marx2k> then reinstall
[02:41] <naut> oh well
[02:41] <numist> Ponyboy: why do you need ops?
[02:41] <dkbg> the thing is that with dapper I could reach a CLI, but with the edgy installer I cannot even do that
[02:41] <Ponyboy> I don't need ops. I didn't know what the trigger was for.
[02:41] <Soccer5555> whats the worst that could happen if you install beryl on a labtop
[02:41] <TheVault> marx2k: what should I do if I screw up something when I go changing something when getting my wireless network card to work?
[02:41] <marx2k> dkbg: describe your system
[02:41] <robbie_crash> marx2k: $ aptitude remove vmware-player
[02:41] <skywalker> Iam a very slack user I agree
[02:41] <robbie_crash> right?
[02:41] <marx2k> TheVault: Remember what you did...work backwards :)
[02:41] <Ponyboy> this is my first time on IRC.
[02:41] <marx2k> backup your config files before you edit them
[02:41] <dkbg> marx2k: I'm pretty sure its the same ati issue I had with dapper
[02:41] <bruenig> Ponyboy, how did you know what ops were then
[02:41] <Doomedelite> ops = admins
[02:42] <marx2k> robbie: Yep
[02:42] <Ponyboy> Hmmmmm...I get it.
[02:42] <marx2k> robbie: also use the purge command
[02:42] <dkbg> marx2k: its a toshiba satellite laptop, ati radeon mobility x700
