[10:20] <jussi01> !ask | Kornikopic2
[10:20] <nevron> do i need a fresh restart or can i just kill x and relogin?
[10:20] <ubotu> Kornikopic2: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:20] <jmazaredo> what is wrong when i get error ide:failed opcode was:unknown when installing linux
[10:20] <cyphase> eyequeue: none taken, i understand
[10:20] <Kornikopic2> I've a problem with flash player 9 and firefox
[10:21] <Kornikopic2> I've installed firefox <IP_ADDRESS> and flash player 9. Installation OK
[10:21] <keith> damn I just installed 6.10 and Jahshaka is a *(&(^&(* to install
[10:21] <G0ttsche> whats Jahshaka?
[10:22] <Kornikopic2> When I go to a web site which contains flash element, it's ask to me to install flash player
[10:22] <Frogzoo> keith: you get it working?
[10:22] <Kornikopic2> Is there a solution?
[10:22] <keith> G0ttsche:  you can make cool video demos
[10:22] <Frogzoo> !flash | Kornikopic2
[10:22] <ubotu> Kornikopic2: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[10:22] <ubotu> Flash 9 (Final release) is now available for dapper-backports and edgy-backports. See !backports and !flash
[10:22] <Jowi> pavs, that is not recommended. when you set up a domain name against an ipaddress it will take a few days for it to be updated
[10:22] <keith> no solution
[10:22] <Bryann> does the flash plugin show in about:plugins
[10:23] <goban> how do you find out what your super key is
[10:23] <G0ttsche> that sounds pretty cool Keith
[10:23] <Frogzoo> goban: it's the windows key
[10:23] <keith> G0ttsche: ya it was in 6.06  :(
[10:23] <ardchoille> keith: What was in 6.06?
[10:23] <Kornikopic2> Thanks Frogzoo, I try now !
[10:23] <keith> ardchoille: Jahshaka
[10:23] <Jowi> pavs, if you have a resonably stable "dynamic" ip (for example it only change one per six months) it's no problem.
[10:24] <ardchoille> !jashaka
[10:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about jashaka - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:24] <G0ttsche> keith: ah I have to look into this
[10:24] <pavs> i still want to do it i did in my windows box it was preety straight forward, now that i dont use windows anymore i want to know how to do it in linux, i already have al the servers installed
[10:24] <goban> Frogzoo: its not doing what it should, is there a way to verify its working?
[10:24] <ardchoille> keith: Jashaka isn't in 6.06. I run 6.06
[10:24] <Jowi> pavs, what do you mean you did it in Windows?
[10:24] <keith> ardchoille: but I know how to install it if your interested
[10:24] <pavs> its preety stable rarely gets changed
[10:25] <ardchoille> keith: What is it?
[10:25] <jussi01> pavs: dyndns i think - google it
[10:25] <keith> ardchoille: its a good for making video intros
[10:26] <pavs> jowi i used a software called directupdate that update my ip to the server
[10:26] <stevr1it> please anyone to help me to copy step by step the root partition to another hard disk and to modify the fstab and grub?
[10:26] <coNP> ! ddclient | pavs

[10:26] <kungfugoat> what's that command to check what library a program uses?
[10:26] <nevron> Frogzoo thank you for your help it worked like a charm thank you very much
[10:26] <Jowi> pavs, you don't set the A record in the operating system. if you purchased a domain name you set it up with a dns tool where you bought it.
[10:26] <Frogzoo> nevron: yw
[10:27] <pavs> i will check it out can i use my registered paid domain with that?
[10:27] <Jowi> coNP, he's got a registered name
[10:28] <coNP> oh, I am not sure, but it is worth trying, I think
[10:28] <Jowi> pavs, you should go to the site from were you registered the domain and set it up from there.
[10:28] <coNP> pavs, which site?
[10:28] <unop> pavs, if you have a dynamic IP address, you might want to use something like no-ip or dyndns or zoneedit in conjunction with your domain name
[10:28] <pavs> jowi http://www.zoneedit.com/ check this out
[10:29] <unop> pavs, so you want to use zoneedit then?

[10:30] <ddnngg> sorry
[10:30] <unop> pavs,  you need to change the NS records on your domain name to use the zoneedit nameservers and then use a zoneedit client to update zoneeedit
[10:31] <pavs> crap i have to go, something happened, i will come back later to talk about this,might need helpto set it up. tnx
[10:31] <ddnngg> for iso i use : sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /media/iso/diablo_2_expansion_disc.iso /media/cdrom0

[10:31] <unop> ddnngg,  how can you be sure that htd-foef.bin is an .iso file?
[10:31] <ddnngg> but it dont work with bin's
[10:31] <pavs> be back later sorry
[10:31] <unop> ddnngg,  use something like unrar to extract the files
[10:32] <ddnngg> and pack them to iso ??
[10:32] <tim167> how can i prevent my screen from going in standby ?
[10:32] <unop> ddnngg,  if you want that, you can do that later -- but i suppose you are mounting this file to get at the contents, right?
[10:32] <st3> tim167, don't do it, save energy.
[10:32] <ddnngg> no
[10:33] <ddnngg> Cedega ;)
[10:33] <tim167> st3: i need this for a presentation , just one night, ill turn off the heating
[10:33] <cyclops> need help with a recording issue
[10:33] <unop> ddnngg,  then yes, make an ISO after
[10:34] <st3> well. if you use ubuntu, you will have a fancy graphical tool to do that
[10:34] <st3> just check in "screensaver" options
[10:34] <jstarcher> how do I get a whole directory with the commandline ftp client?
[10:34] <Jowi> st3, gnome-power-preferences if the screensaver is already turned off.
[10:34] <stevr1it> does anyone can help me to move the root of ubuntu 6.10 to another hard disk, change the fstab and to move grub also? i would not like to make a mistake
[10:34] <Jowi> tim, gnome-power-preferences if the screensaver is already turned off.
[10:35] <Jowi> st3, sorry was meant for tim167
[10:35] <st3> Jowi, i never used ubuntu and never will. i'm here by mistake :P
[10:35] <nevron> can anybody help me about this error?
[10:35] <nevron> (gksudo:7357): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",
[10:35] <Jowi> st3, welcome :) Join the dark side
[10:35] <jens> hello, I'm a student of the uni of gent (belgium) and we got the permission to install ubuntu on some uni pc's. We would like to use fai to do this, but we dont really know how to correctly set this up. Is there anybody here who could help us? or tell me where I could get help? thx
[10:37] <tim167> Jowi i tried Power Management "put display to sleep when inactive for <never>" but that doesnt work, sceen still goes in standby, i remember doing this before adding something about DPMS in xorg.conf, but i cant remember what it was, it had to do with "energy star" setting too...
[10:37] <Jowi> nevron, install the pixmaps engine
[10:37] <Jowi> jens, what is "fai"?
[10:38] <cyclops> if I uninstall OSS will ALSA stop working?
[10:38] <unop> ddnngg,  http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/104/450752/30/60/threaded
[10:38] <nevron> Jowi: i can't find it in synaptic?
[10:38] <jens> Fully Automatic Installation
[10:38] <CorpseFeeder> i formatted the drive and reinstalled and it's all working again with no errors from fsck. I think the problem might be connected with the fact that I am running an ultra320 drive on an ultra2 SCSI adapter... so I will take the drive out and sell it, and replace it with an old ATA133 drive instead.
[10:38] <jens> Jowi: fai is an acronim for Fully Automatic Installation
[10:38] <ardchoille> tim167: xset -dpms ?
[10:39] <kungfugoat> I'm trying to use Rhythmbox but it's telling me that I need GStreamer plugins to play mp3 files
[10:39] <kungfugoat> how I wish my ipod could play ogg
[10:39] <tim167> ardochoille: yes somethig like that ... xset -dpms off ?
[10:39] <jens> we just want a way to install ubuntu from a server, I'm talking over 100 pc's here, so doing one by one with a cd isn't really a good option
[10:40] <ardchoille> tim167: man xset, it explains a lot.
[10:40] <nevron> Jowi: the module is called gtk-engines-pixmap and it is already installed
[10:40] <ddnngg> unop http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Environment/Tools/Mount-ISO-image-2216.shtml
[10:40] <ddnngg> hmmm :>
[10:40] <Jowi> nevron, no, that one's for gtk1.2
[10:41] <nevron> ok which package am i looking for
[10:41] <tim167> ardchoille: thanks! i think thats what i needed, going to try it by not touching computer for a while now :)
[10:42] <jekson_> hi, I need to acess to the folder c:\program files created by WINE how can i do this
[10:42] <jens> jekson_: in your wine folder there should be a program calded explorer.exe
[10:43] <jens> you can use this
[10:43] <Jowi> nevron, wait a second. will check. it's not in the repos (maybe it's installed by default nowadays i don't know). will have a look
[10:43] <ardchoille> nevron: Which type of theme are you trying to use?
[10:43] <nevron> Jowi thank you for your hardwork :)
[10:43] <CheshireViking> jekson_, from memory, if you open your home folder and set it to display hidden files & folders, there should be a .wine folder, i think the c:\program files is held within that folder
[10:44] <jekson_> but where is the wine folder i don't find it
[10:44] <jekson_> ok I try
[10:44] <ardchoille> jekson_: CTRL+h in nautilus will unhide hidden files/folders
[10:44] <nevron> ardchoille: what do you mean by that this error message appears on any theme i use since the installation
[10:44] <sancho21> anybody know hardware information like Everest in Linux? So I can easily know my hardware specification.
[10:45] <nevron> even in the deafult ubuntu theme i get the same error
[10:45] <ardchoille> nevron: That kind of error message usually means you don't have the engine that the theme needs to use.
[10:45] <unop> sancho21,  lshw and hwinfo
[10:45] <ardchoille> nevron: Have yo been deleting files with sudo lately?
[10:45] <nevron> ardchoille: :) no
[10:46] <jekson_> i found it thanks
[10:46] <stevr1it> i need to more the root of ubuntu , which is in one hard disk , to another hard disk , whoc an help me step by step?
[10:46] <ardchoille> nevron: Is there anything in /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/engines ?
[10:47] <jstarcher> hey can someone explain to me why when I run "mget somedirectory" it says no file or directory?????
[10:48] <nevron> ardchoille:let me see well i dont have the 2.4.0 folder instead i have the 2.10.0
[10:48] <ardchoille> nevron: You're on Edgy?
[10:48] <nevron> yes i am on 6.10
[10:48] <Jowi> nevron, i found the libpixmap engine there. it should be included.
[10:49] <wijnand> why can't i change anything about the launchers in my menu? when i do, i can choose between "revert" and "close", and the only difference seems to be that close both reverts AND closes...
[10:49] <nevron> Jowi under /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines$ i do not have a libpixmap enigne
[10:49] <ardchoille> nevron: You should have some libpixmap.* files in there
[10:49] <nevron> ardchoille: under /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines$ i do not have a libpixmap enigne
[10:50] <ardchoille> nevron: Ok, sounds like a theme is trying to use the libpixmap engine but you don't have it.
[10:50] <nevron> ok how do i install it?
[10:50] <Lynoure> jstarcher: Directory is not a file in the ftp sense, I think, try using directory/* instead on just cd directory and them mget *
[10:51] <jstarcher> Lynoure, I read that mget is not for getting directories anyways
[10:51] <Jowi> nevron, here, take mine: http://burninghands.eu/pixmap/
[10:51] <cyclops> I need help trying to capture audio from my microphone in Ubuntu...  Its a Sound Blaster Live! card, mic works in Windows, and I've set the capture settings according to the Ubuntu forum solution, it still doesn't work, so I'd like some help.
[10:51] <jstarcher> Lynoure, and that you should tar it first
[10:51] <nevron> jowi and ardchoille there's no package listed under synaptic called libpixmap engine?
[10:52] <Lynoure> jstarcher: tar it first? What's the 'it' in this? (note, I have no more context than your question above)
[10:52] <benabag> does anyone know if the bcm4311 wifi card will be supported in feisty without ndisswrapper?
[10:52] <nevron> Jowi should i take all the listed files?
[10:52] <ardchoille> nevron: apt-cache policy gtk2-engines-pixbuf   and see if that is installed or not
[10:52] <jstarcher> Lynoure, the ftp man :P
[10:52] <Jowi> nevron, ah wait. it is in the gtk2-engines-pixbuf
[10:53] <Bergcube> I'm having a temporarily fit of alzheimers...  You can download floppy images off the net for example to update a machine's flash bios.  What command / utility do we use under Ubuntu to write such an image TO the floppy?  :-S
[10:53] <Jowi> nevron, if installing gtk2-engines-pixbuf doesn't help, yeah take them all
[10:53] <Mazaev> Bergcube: dd
[10:53] <nevron> ok thank you i am trying now
[10:53] <ardchoille> nevron: gtk2-engines-pixbuf provides the libpixmap engines
[10:54] <bwilson> how can i figure out where samba has mounted my network drive?
[10:54] <Bergcube> Mazaev~  There it was.  Thanks!
[10:54] <nevron> ok found it synaptic and installing it
[10:55] <tom__> Hello
[10:55] <tom__> can any 1 give me links 2 a program that can burn iso files to disc, like alcohol 120%
[10:55] <Lynoure> jstarcher: you do not need to tar ftp. Nor to tar the files on the server to get them with mget
[10:56] <Mazaev> tom__: sudo apt-get install k3b
[10:56] <ardchoille> tom__: nautilus can do that, graveman (repos) can do that, k3b (repos) can do that.
[10:56] <nevron> ok i have a different error now :)
[10:56] <ardchoille> nevron: Pastebin the error?
[10:56] <jstarcher> Lynoure, when I do what you say it does this: mget forums/memberlist.php? y
[10:56] <jstarcher> local: forums/memberlist.php: No such file or directory
[10:56] <nevron> anyway things seem to work besides all the error messegas in the terminal i think i can get away with this thank you
[10:56] <Jowi> jens, by the way; have a look here under the "advanced" section you might find what you're looking for https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[10:56] <Lynoure> jstarcher: But I probably still do not know what you meant with 'tar it' so maybe I'll just stop trying to help and let someone elso do it
[10:57] <jstarcher> Lynoure, well I just did mget *
[10:57] <jstarcher> and got that

[10:59] <Jowi> nevron, depends on what the prob is
[11:00] <Frogzoo> ICQnumber: maybe you just want to change themes
[11:00] <Lynoure> jstarcher: Is it a public ftp server you are connecting to? I could give it a shot so see if there is something wrong at their end

[11:01] <zynergi> im trying to figure out how to get wireless working on my laptop
[11:01] <ICQnumber> is there a good ati fglrx driver support for (k)ubuntu?
[11:02] <Jowi> nevron, you can set the default soundcard with "asoundconf". if that doesn't do it for you, disable the onboard sound in bios if you need.
[11:02] <Frogzoo> ICQnumber: the latest proprietary fglrx meets all my needs
[11:02] <J_P> hi all
[11:02] <nevron> Jowi i have already disabled the onboard soundcard from the bios settings yet ubuntu is somehow able to use it :)

[11:03] <Mazaev> nevron: what's the output of `modprobe|grep snd`?
[11:03] <Frogzoo> ICQnumber: yep, there's a repo for the proprietary fglrx - just follow the howto
[11:03] <ICQnumber> i do not have ubuntu installed i m just thinking about it
[11:03] <Mazaev> err
[11:04] <Mazaev> that should be lsmod, not modprobe
[11:04] <Frogzoo> ICQnumber: 3d works, suspend works, screensavers work - I'm 100% content
[11:04] <nevron> hmm are you sure this is the right command?
[11:04] <Mazaev> nevron: lsmod.. and err.. don't paste tha tinto the chan :-)

[11:05] <ticki> i want to execute a start up SH script. does anybody know a way to do this. i found that i specify more than one GUI program. only the first will be executed and once this one is closed the next one will be executed, and so forth. is there a way to avoid this?
[11:05] <ICQnumber> i have seen this fglrx howto, but can u use xgl, compiz or beryl with this fglrx driver without any problems?
[11:05] <unop> ticki,  send each command into the background and that'll ensure non-blocking
[11:06] <ticki> unop: how do you do that?
[11:06] <unop> ticki,  e.g. command &
[11:06] <Jowi> nevron, Mazaev's idea can do the trick. disable the mpu-401 module

[11:10] <Bonanzo> How to I print the version of Ubuntu in my terminal ? .. cat /etc/issue?
[11:10] <defrysk> yes
[11:10] <Jowi> nevron, "sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist". at the end of the file add "blacklist snd-mpu401"
[11:11] <nevron> without the quotes? :)
[11:11] <zynergi> anyone gotten Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g]  802.11g Wireless LAN Controller working on ubuntu?
[11:11] <Bonanzo> defrysk yes to my question?
[11:11] <Jowi> nevron, yes
[11:11] <defrysk> yes
[11:11] <Jowi> nevron, oops, should be snd_mpu401
[11:11] <tom__> How can i run nautilus or w\e its called, i need to burn an iso
[11:12] <Bonanzo> defrysk Does /etc/issue works in every linux distro? Like fedora, suse, debian?
[11:12] <defrysk> tom open filemanager and rightclick the iso , and select burn
[11:12] <nevron> Jowi ok i just did that now can i just ctrl+alt+backspace and relogin
[11:12] <Mazaev> I think it actualls IS snd-mpu401
[11:12] <nevron> which one is correct :)
[11:12] <jekson_> how can acess to hide folder with console
[11:12] <Mazaev> hell, put both
[11:12] <defrysk> Bonanzo, in debian based it does afaIk
[11:12] <ICQnumber> frogzoo: and i m thinking about what the next distribution i give a try...
[11:13] <nevron> hahahha Mazaev that was a great advice :)
[11:13] <Bonanzo> defrysk And what is the equivalent cmd for redhat-basied ?
[11:13] <nevron> ok i am nuking the system wait :D
[11:13] <defrysk> Bonanzo, donno, try #fedora
[11:13] <Frogzoo> ICQnumber: beryl is _beta_ I'm just assuming by the time it's released it will work - feisty is coming in april
[11:13] <unop> !version
[11:13] <ubotu> To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[11:13] <Bonanzo> defrysk What about "uname -a" .. same thing? Correct?
[11:14] <unop> Bonanzo,  that doesnt tell you what distro you use tho
[11:14] <defrysk> uname - a gives the kernel info
[11:14] <defrysk> uname = linux
[11:15] <nevron> this time the default soundcard thingy is just empty
[11:15] <unop> Bonanzo,  usually distros have a /etc/release  .. on redhat it might be /etc/{redhat,REDHAT}-release on suse /etc/SUSE-release ..
[11:15] <nevron> :)
[11:15] <Jowi> nevron you need to reboot
[11:15] <nevron> should i do another lsmod and do a pastebin
[11:15] <nevron> ok i am rebooting
[11:16] <Bonanzo> unop It's better if i can use the wildcard =) .. /etc/*-release ..
[11:16] <walla> could anyone help with installing gtkpod? when it opens it opens an error box, but gives me no error message
[11:17] <unop> Bonanzo,  that'd skip out /etc/release tho :)
[11:17] <Arcad4> hi i have a prob....my mouse freezes in edgy.
[11:18] <ICQnumber> frogzoo: can you use compiz then, why do u think, beryl is beta?
[11:18] <unop> Bonanzo,  lsb_release -a should work on LSB distros -- there's also /proc/version
[11:19] <nevron> ok now i cant run xmms it tells me to check some settings about my soundcard :D
[11:19] <nevron> trying amarok
[11:20] <Mazaev> nevron: in xmms, check if it's set to use alsa
[11:20] <nevron> xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers :O
[11:20] <Mazaev> and the right device
 how can acess to hide folder with console
[11:20] <Bonanzo> unop, defrysk thanks!
[11:20] <Bonanzo> unop, defrysk thanks!
[11:21] <Bonanzo> anyone uses or used LinuxMIPS

[11:25] <candyban> All references in google I found were pretty old
[11:26] <Jowi> nevron, use alsa.

[11:40] <Kleos> hey guys, what are the chances of ubuntu supporting my sata contollers on my old mother
[11:40] <Kleos> board
[11:40] <Arcad5> is that eror after installing windows patiken?
[11:40] <Kleos> sorry :)
[11:40] <KingSnake> Kleos: is it an Sil113 or something?
[11:41] <paitken> Arcad5: I've had windows installed.
[11:41] <Kleos> sorry mate, im not sure i understand you?
[11:41] <Kleos> it's a 3 year old motherboard
[11:41] <KingSnake> Kleos: I was asking about the SATA controller
[11:41] <Kleos> 2.4 gig processor, i have win 20003 running on it, but it runs as slow as
[11:41] <KingSnake> I see
[11:41] <Kleos> umm mate, it's a ummm
[11:42] <LMNT_OX> hey all
[11:42] <Arcad5> u can use lilo...
[11:42] <KingSnake> well, considering it supports my SATA 2 controller and drivers more than passably well, I'd say there's a good chance it'll work fine
[11:42] <Kleos> sweet
[11:42] <LMNT_OX> my internet isnt working on my ubuntu???? ne tips???
[11:42] <Kleos> i also have a pci to sata controller i brought off ebay, i have the windows drivers, but i dunno about unbuntu
[11:42] <KingSnake> I've had problems with those stupid sil113 SATA chips though, complete crap
[11:43] <paitken> Arcad5: Since I'm using the live cd from ubuntu, do you think that would have an issue why the drives aren't showing up right?
[11:43] <mackinaw> wouldn't running the liveCd answer "will it work" questions?
[11:43] <Kleos> will unbuntu run fast on a 2.4 gig with 512 meg of ram?
[11:43] <KingSnake> mackinaw: that's how I found out :)
[11:43] <LMNT_OX> my internet isnt working on my ubuntu???? ne tips???
[11:43] <erUSUL> Kleos: sure
[11:43] <LMNT_OX> ...
[11:43] <Kleos> ok, 2003 runs like crap
[11:43] <bwilson> has anybody gotten Photoshop working on Wine?
[11:44] <KingSnake> the running-OS installer is fantastic too

[11:49] <Arcad5> try my steps with all the partitions then to be shure
[11:50] <kungfugoat> If I use all of the disks as a raid array, do I select them as /dev/sdaxx like normal?
[11:50] <KingSnake> paitken: are you trying this from a chrooted fs?
[11:51] <fong> is 3GB enough for an installation?

[11:51] <paitken> KingSnake: what do you mean chrooted?  Im using the boot cd I downloaded.  Changed the root password, then su'd as root

[11:53] <CheshireViking> seeing a few grub questions here at the minute, over the weekend, i'm going to install feisty on a spare partition just to have a look at it, no doubt it'll re create grub on its own partition, to return to my original one, do i just need to boot using a live cd and type "grub-install /dev/hdb1" where hda1 is my windows drive, hdb is a multi partition drive for linux on which my normal grub is installed in nteh ubuntu partition on h
[11:53] <CheshireViking> db1?
[11:54] <unop> fong .. at a minimum -- / - 3-4GB , swap @ 2xRAM and whatever else you can afford for /home
[11:54] <Dimensions> if i am installing grub into my sda1 (usb flash drive)  what would be location for i hd2 ? or hd0 ?
[11:55] <Gorlist> Morning
[11:55] <KingSnake> Dimensions: whichever is the boot drive
[11:55] <unop> sohum,  errm, DEP is a windows thing -- look at this here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NX_bit#Linux
[11:56] <fong> unop, so basically 3-4GB is for the system files only?
[11:56] <Gorlist> quick question, when I log into Ubuntu it automatically loads OpenOffice Writer... any ideas why :) ?
[11:56] <Dimensions> KingSnake:  i donno ... it shows my flash drive as sda1 ... im also having my internal hdd attached ... ?
[11:56] <Jowi> Gorlist, check if it is listed in the session astartup
[11:56] <Gorlist> last time I logged out the session was not saved - keep doing it
[11:56] <LMNT_OX> ne good dvd players for Ubuntu???
[11:56] <Gorlist> where could I check the session astartup list?
[11:57] <unop> fong,  yes, indeed
[11:57] <KingSnake> Gorlist: preferences
[11:57] <Jowi> Gorlist, "gnome-session-properties"
[11:57] <paitken> Arcad5: I can't figure it out :x
[11:57] <KingSnake> under system
[11:57] <sohum> unop: ok...... so I can't enable the NX bit because HIGHMEM64 is not supported?
[11:57] <fong> i think i can afford max of 4 only.. any suggestions?
[11:57] <fong> 4 GB max for all partitions
[11:57] <KingSnake> Gorlist: Sessions, maybe it went in there somehow
[11:57] <vlt> How can I convert istanbul's (reccommendedby ardchoille for capturing X screens to movies) output (ogg theora) to either avi or a sequence of image files?

[11:59] <ardchoille> vlt: Maybe ffmpeg ?
[11:59] <fong> im gonna be using it for my work laptop already

[12:00] <unop> sohum,  why do you want to get it anyway .. :) if you install packages and run code from trusted sources .. you should have no need for this
[12:00] <LMNT_OX> bbl thanks n e ways all ":)
[12:00] <sohum> unop: I'm paranoid ;)
[12:00] <unop> sohum,  so i see :)
[12:01] <fong> cma, so wouldn't 'whatever's left' be insufficient for home?
[12:01] <sohum> unop: (it's not paranoia if they're really out to get you... aaaargh...)
[12:01] <unop> sohum,  but to answer your question ... i'm not really sure, there might be something with sysctl that you can change
[12:01] <cma> fong: depends on what kind and amount of data you deal with
[12:02] <sohum> unop: thanks muchly for your help :)
[12:02] <unop> fong,  do you have a windows partition too?
[12:02] <fong> unop, yes.
[12:02] <cma> fong: how much would it leave you?
[12:02] <fong> cma, what you mean?
[12:02] <fong> im planning to run VMWare too to get my win partition to run
[12:03] <unop> fong,  i have seen some dual-booters place their /home on their ntfs partition so that they have all their document from both installs placed in c:\documents and settings\%username%\ ..
[12:03] <cma> fong: i.e. music takes up alot of space
[12:03] <unop> fong,  how much memory do you have?
[12:03] <unop> RAM i.e.
[12:03] <fong> unop, just 512MB
[12:04] <cma> fong: text base data on dosn't
[12:04] <fong> cma, again?
[12:04] <unop> fong,  you could do this 3.5GB for / and .5GB for swap then .. it'll work
[12:04] <fong> unop, then for home, it would be shared with the win partition?
[12:04] <roxlu> hi all
[12:04] <cma> fong: different kinds of data demand more or less space
[12:05] <roxlu> Does someone here installed Internet Explorer on Ubuntu?
[12:05] <unop> fong,  but thats a very conservative setup, you probably will run out of space if you install quite a lot
[12:06] <unop> fong,  initially you dont have to worry about /home .. it will be created as a folder under / .. once you have installed ubuntu and then installed ntfs-3g .. you can move /home over to your windows partition and mount it as /home
[12:06] <fong> !ntfs-3g
[12:06] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[12:06] <cma> fong: yes unop's is a good solution if you just want to take a look
[12:07] <fong> cma, actually i'm not planning to look, will be using the installation for good already..
[12:08] <unop> fong, what i think would be a little better tho is to mount the windows parition as /media/windows .. and have /home point to /media/windows/"documents and settings"/$yourusername/
[12:08] <unop> fong,  sorry, /home pointing to /media/windows/"documents and settings"/
[12:10] <fong> unop, ok thats a good suggestion... will definitely consider it.

[12:25] <Keneo> hello, I'm a student of the uni of gent (belgium) and we got permission to deploy ubuntu on some uni pc's (around 100 to start). So we would like to know how we should do this. installing ubuntu with a cd to all pc's ain't really an option...
[12:26] <ashwin2882> qiyong: Its in restricted repo
[12:26] <unop> qiyong,  if you enable all the repositories, update apt, you should be able to do a search for like this -- aptitude search "japan|kata.*ka"
[12:27] <erUSUL> Keneo: if they are similar you can create a partimage image of the instalation (root) of one pc and restore it in all the others
[12:27] <babo> erUSUL: right, so turn off all the other repos and tell me if you can get emacs then ...
[12:27] <Keneo> erUSUL, they are not
[12:27] <Keneo> and they should be dual-boot with winodws
[12:27] <Keneo> windows*
[12:28] <Keneo> windows get's reinstalled frequently (every 3-6 months) using unattended install
[12:28] <unop> Keneo,  if you have 100 and dual-boot requirements, the best way really is to clone harddrives
[12:28] <Keneo> now I should like to know if ther eis anything like unattended for linux
[12:29] <CrummyGummy> google?
[12:29] <smartman> hi guys i want to make alan server how to ?
[12:29] <Keneo> unop, we are not in charge of the windows installation, and the windows installation happens using http://unattended.sourceforge.net/, and they are not willing to change that
[12:29] <unop> Keneo,  there are unattended installs for linux, i just dont see them working around windows paritions
[12:29] <Frogzoo> Keneo: check the wiki
[12:29] <fabietto_> ciao
[12:29] <ashwin2882> keneo: i know redhat has something called kickstart, not sure about ubuntu .
[12:29] <bimberi> Keneo: Have a look at the Installation/LocalNet subpage to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[12:30] <Keneo> thx bimberi I'll look into it :)
[12:31] <bimberi> Keneo: yw :) (although I'm not sure about the dualboot requirement)
[12:31] <Keneo> The above steps should give you an interactive setup, very similar to if you had booted from the CD.
[12:31] <Keneo> we would like to have an automatic setup
[12:31] <unop> Keneo,  well, frankly whatever you do, the dual-boot is always going to pose a hassle
[12:31] <Frogzoo> Keneo: check the wiki

[12:33] <varkatope> hi, where to find a complete hardware driver list for the current feisty kernel?
[12:33] <erUSUL> bones: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and reconfigure the monitor to get the apropiate sync range
[12:33] <bones> erUSUL: ive done thatr
[12:34] <bones> erUSUL: after install nvidia-glx isnt it supposed to be nvidia under the device section?
[12:35] <bones> erUSUL: any how it says FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia
[12:35] <erUSUL> bones: maybe you lack linux-restricted-modules-generic ?? or linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)
[12:36] <bones> erUSUL: ok ill check
[12:37] <bones> erUSUL: yes i dont hyave that...is that why?
[12:37] <erUSUL> bones: welll that package contains the nvidia kernel driver
[12:38] <bones> yes it is...you the man

[12:39] <bones> so happy
[12:40] <livingdaylight_> I ran into troubles with FireFox when i was watching scientology clips on youtube.
[12:40] <erUSUL> livingdaylight_: killall -9 firefox-bin

[12:40] <varkatope> erUSUL: how to run that script and what will it do?
[12:40] <Keneo> thx Frogzoo :)
[12:41] <livingdaylight_> Can Scientology scramble my viewing of scientology clips on youtube? the sound quality became real poor which is why i quit and tried to reopen fresh FrieFox
[12:41] <GaiaX11> livingdaylight_: kill the process :-)
[12:41] <Flannel> Keneo, Frogzoo, that page is ancient ;)
[12:41] <livingdaylight_> ok, thx erUSUL  and GaiaX11
[12:41] <erUSUL> varkatope: 'python script-name' it will print a list of hardware supported by the kernel that is running
[12:41] <Keneo> I just noticed
[12:41] <Keneo> it's about warty
[12:42] <varkatope> erUSUL: im not interested in the hardware of the current kernel but in the hardware of the feisty-kernel
[12:42] <livingdaylight_> It still feels very creepy that youtube sound became scrambled for the first time when i watched scientology clips.
[12:42] <Flannel> It may still work, but I don't believe debian and ubuntu use the same libc version currently.
[12:42] <unop> Keneo,  still should work tho .. with a little modifications needed (if any)
[12:42] <Keneo> :)
[12:42] <mackinac> is 6 MB/s a good LAN speed, or can I reasonably expect to tweak it higher?
[12:42] <livingdaylight_> I hope i haven't offended any Scientologists here if there are any, by the implication that they are somehow scrambling youtbe clips

[12:47] <Gabrielote> i have a little question here
[12:48] <bimberi> whadar: add it to /etc/modules
[12:48] <erUSUL> whadar: add a line to /etc/modules  'sudo sh -c "echo fuse >> /etc/modules"'
[12:48] <Gabrielote> what do i have to do to use the command apt-get linux-headers-`uname -r`???
[12:48] <Gabrielote> when i try to use it it says that the command doesnt exist
[12:48] <erUSUL> Gabrielote: nothin it should work as you typed it
[12:49] <erUSUL> nothing*
[12:49] <Gabrielote> oh god... do i have to install some other package?? cause its saying that its not a command
[12:49] <erUSUL> Gabrielote: wait it is apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[12:49] <Frogzoo> whadar: you haven't read the fuse howto?
[12:49] <Frogzoo> !fuse | whadar
[12:49] <ubotu> whadar: Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse

[12:50] <Gabrielote> hold on

[12:53] <whadar> i mean does fuse deb adds it on certain versions?
[12:54] <Frogzoo> KennyR: perl java c++
[12:55] <KennyR> Frogzoo, any more?
[12:55] <MarcN> KennyR: working on some homework?
[12:55] <Frogzoo> KennyR: -> google 'object oriented language'
[12:55] <KennyR> Frogzoo, I did a google with no avail..
[12:55] <KennyR> MarcN, No im a VB/C++ programmer, and im switching to Linux
[12:55] <Frogzoo> KennyR: if at first you google & don't succeed, google again
[12:56] <erUSUL> KennyR: it would be a long list.... c#, smalltalk, common lisp, ruby, ....
[12:56] <KennyR> Frogzoo, No offense.. iv been googling for about 5 hours now
[12:56] <MarcN> KennyR: google object oriented and the first hit is for wikipedia which provides a huge list.
[12:56] <Frogzoo> KennyR: and you didn't dig up java in 5 hours of googline? lol
[12:56] <KennyR> erUSUL, Yeah, iv seen them all.. but isnt there anything thats more.. user-friendly..
[12:56] <KennyR> Frogzoo, I did
[12:57] <KennyR> Frogzoo, I dislike Java for certain reasons.
[12:57] <Frogzoo> KennyR: half the web runs on java - it can't be that bad
[12:57] <KennyR> My main interest was in Real-basic, but it costs..
[12:57] <erUSUL> KennyR: the languages does no have nothing to do with the ides or rad env for them...
[12:57] <KennyR> Frogzoo, Half the web runs on php, and I like php, but its a bit complicated at times.
[12:57] <erUSUL> KennyR: try gambas a basic with rad tools
[12:57] <KennyR> erUSUL, ill try that
[12:57] <erUSUL> KennyR: or lazarus a delphi "clon"
[12:58] <erUSUL> KennyR: eclipse has a c++ ide besides the java one...
[12:58] <KennyR> erUSUL, ill check into that too, im taking notes as we go
[12:59] <MarcN> KennyR: you didn't find wikipedia's entry in 5 hours of searching?
[12:59] <erUSUL> KennyR: if there is something in which unix/linux shines it is precisely in programming languages
[12:59] <KennyR> MarcN, I did, but didnt give me what I was looking for.
[12:59] <KennyR> erUSUL, I understand, thats why im switching to ubuntu.. I have many ideas, I want to contribute to Ubuntu

[01:04] <mgrant> I'm installing ubuntu desktop 6.10 on my laptop.  It has windows in partition #1 and I need to save that.  I created 2 extra partitions for swap and /.  I did NOT check the format box.  I choose to mount it on /media/hda0.  On the next screen, it warns me that all partitions will be destroyed, even ones I've removed!  That sounds scary.  How can I be assured that my windows partition will be left untouched?
[01:04] <slippyr4> anyone know of any resources on how to make my own bootcd with my current kernel and modules on it?
[01:05] <Frogzoo> slippyr4: check the wiki - customising ubuntu cd

[01:07] <Dimensions> mgrant: when u resize your partition on next screen u select which ones u want to format your next two partition would be hda2 and hda5 for swap or something like that if you are using live cd of ubuntu ... and tick only those two to be formated ... this way you will save ur Windows partition ...

[01:07] <GaiaX11> mgrant: much better
[01:07] <GaiaX11> mgrant: have you already used that?
[01:07] <mgrant> Dimensions, not sure, it was marked Desktop 6.10
[01:08] <mgrant> The CD I downloaded was named ubunto-desktop-6.10-i386.iso if that helps
[01:09] <mackinac> (6.06 codename = "dapper drake" ; 6.10 = "edgy eft")
[01:10] <mgrant> Dimensions, I did pretty much what you said.  However, there was no format box for the later two (/ and swap).  I left unchecked the format box for the first one (my windows partition)
[01:10] <GaiaX11> mgrant: The only thing you need to to is not formatting your win partition. And ubuntu will take care of the rest :-)
[01:11] <Kresjah> Hey! I've been told that in the dri/mesa packages with ubuntu, the modules for getting mach64 running with acceleration has been disabled for security reasons. Anyone know how to get this enabled and running?
[01:11] <mgrant> Cool, so I can safely ignore the scary message.
[01:11] <Dimensions> mgrant: dont worry abt it just dont check format for windows partition and dont put / and swap on other than windows partition .... thats it ...
[01:11] <cafuego_> A mach64 is so slow, what would be the point?
[01:11] <peterretief> erUSUL: Frogzoo lpadmin gives nothing
[01:11] <Dimensions> btw you are installing Edgy which is latest one ... is fine ...
[01:12] <Kresjah> cafuego: Because I need it to run some of the apps I use on my lappy
[01:12] <fong> is anyone using vmware player to boot their existing windows partition?
[01:12] <mgrant> Thanks all.  That's consistent with all the other unixes I've installed.  However, it would be sweet if that scary message was a little more exact telling me that it was going to preserve that partition!
[01:12] <mjr> A mach64 can do many things accelerated, like many of the less demanding free games
[01:12] <mjr> (but I dunno how to enable that easily)
[01:12] <Kresjah> It can run Doomsday Engine decently :p
[01:12] <Dimensions> mgrant:  it will give this message always no matter u dont have any thing on disk even ... just done tick windows partition
[01:13] <Frogzoo> peterretief: lpstat
[01:13] <Frogzoo> peterretief: lpstat -a
[01:13] <erUSUL> peterretief: just out of curiosity why do you need alod lp support? i have only used lpr and lpq with acrobat reader i use usually graphical tools or the web interface (that you have to manually enable)
[01:14] <Frogzoo> unix printing is wierd - it's ok to admit it
[01:14] <Kresjah> But, nevertheless, the point of my question wasn't discussing the performance of the mach64 accellerated, but rather getting it working
[01:14] <peterretief> erUSUL: i want to copy a postcript file directly
[01:14] <peterretief> to a printer
[01:14] <Frogzoo> peterretief: lpstat -a
[01:15] <peterretief> ah :)
[01:15] <peterretief> life
[01:15] <Frogzoo> good times

[01:15] <Rune_> hi.. stupid question. ubuntu i386 should work on amd 64?
[01:15] <mackinac> yes
[01:15] <peterretief> Frogzoo:
[01:15] <chrisjw_> yes but it won't take advantage of the extended memory set
[01:16] <Rune_> chrisjw_; of course
[01:16] <Rune_> anyway i get 2 lots of 4 beeps.
[01:16] <Rune_> 1 long, 3 short kinda like a video card post error
[01:16] <Nam_K> et.net
[01:16] <chrisjw_> what is your boot device?
[01:16] <mamzers555> hello, i have the file md5sums and md5sums.gpg
[01:16] <Rune_> can anyone confirm that they have installed i386 version on amd64?
[01:17] <mamzers555> what can i do with md5sums.gpg?
[01:17] <Frogzoo> Rune_: most everyone
[01:17] <Rune_> cool
[01:17] <mamzers555> or how can i verify something with this file?
[01:17] <erUSUL> Rune_: me, (well i have not instaled it i changed the hardware of an existing install)
[01:17] <Rune_> yeh ive installed other i386 linux on amd64
[01:18] <mackinac> !md5sum
[01:18] <ubotu> To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more
[01:18] <Rune_> ill try the 64 iso for fun.
[01:19] <_Jaak_> is there a graphical tool to get my ubu laptop to connect via bluetooth to a pan network (cellphone) so i can acces internet?
[01:19] <Gabrielote> people, can i use chmod to change folders permition???
[01:19] <Rune_> how about Xen? I'm hoping to run windows without XT support or whatever it is
[01:19] <Gabrielote> people, can i use chmod to change folders permition???
[01:20] <skold> chmod -R
[01:20] <Gabrielote> ohhh thx
[01:20] <cma> Gabrielote: yes
[01:20] <Rune_> let us know if you find any other uses of chmod
[01:20] <peterretief> should -R also be recrsive
[01:20] <Rune_> oh, files tool
[01:20] <Rune_> .
[01:20] <Rune_> too
[01:21] <tom47> !chroot
[01:21] <ubotu> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box
[01:21] <Gabrielote> ok thx
[01:21] <valehru> Hey guys, I just installed unreal tournament 2004 on edgy.  However there is no sound.  Anyone have a clue how to fix it?
[01:21] <Gabrielote> is the argument -R for folders only?
[01:21] <mackinac> man chmod
[01:22] <Rune_> valehru, u got sound in anything else?
[01:22] <Frogzoo> Gabrielote: yes, if you have write permission to the parent directory
[01:22] <cma> Gabrielote: R is for recursive
[01:22] <Gabrielote> ok, thx frogzoo
[01:22] <GaiaX11> Gabrielote: Folders and all the files inside it
[01:22] <Rune_> -R is for doing everything inside a folder
[01:22] <Rune_> chmod foldername is fine for just a folder
[01:22] <valehru> Rune_, sound works perfectly on the system, but I have killed mpd.  No sound apps are running as far as I know.
[01:23] <abyss> lo anyone knows a good applet for evolution where i dont need to have evolution running to recive the mails?
[01:23] <Rune_> velehru; damn
[01:23] <Frogzoo> abyss: there's mail-notification, which is pretty crappy but light
[01:24] <abyss> Frogzoo, is it possible to run evolution backgrounded
[01:24] <IdleOne> test
[01:24] <erUSUL> abyss: a mail checker? gnu biff??
[01:25] <abyss> so that i can close the gui of it but its still running (mail-checker only check pop accounts for mails, but i let copy of messages for 7 days on server cause multi-client synchronization)
[01:26] <Frogzoo> abyss: usually it just sits in the tool bar...
[01:28] <elias1> hello
[01:28] <Gabrielote> !package
[01:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about package - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:29] <Gabrielote> sorry....
[01:29] <Gabrielote> how to build a package?!
[01:29] <elias1> I deleted my panel barin the which appears in the bottom of the screen, when I tried to put a new one, is emty
[01:29] <Rune_> !sucking
[01:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sucking - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:29] <elias1> does anyone knows how can I put the default back?
[01:29] <Gabrielote> people....
[01:29] <Simulator> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

[01:29] <Gabrielote> how to build a package?!!?!?!
[01:30] <elias1> because now when I minimize the application I'm running, it disappears!
[01:30] <Simulator> i got this msg when type glxgears -printfps
[01:30] <Simulator> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[01:30] <Simulator> Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
[01:30] <Gabrielote> people........how to build a package?!?!?!?
[01:30] <CheshireViking> !patience
[01:30] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[01:31] <cma> elias1: right click on bar and add
[01:32] <elias1> cma
[01:32] <cypher1> Gabrielote: there is a debian packaging manual available.. also you can find help in #ubuntu-motu
[01:32] <cma> elias1: add window list
[01:33] <elias1> I did that, but I can't find where can I see my application
[01:33] <elias1> wait
[01:33] <Spo8> I've been following this (http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Edgy_with_AIGLX) guide on installing beryl, and whenever I run sudo apt-get install beryl, it just says "E: Couldn't find package beryl" after it readies a few things.  anyone know what's going wrong?
[01:33] <Rune_> Spo8; problem with your sources?
[01:33] <Rune_> /etc/apt/sources.list or something?
[01:34] <elias1> cma: these bars are looking tooooo small
[01:34] <elias1> they are about 0.3 cm width
[01:34] <Spo8> Rune: well I followed the guide to a T, so it shouldn't be a source problem
[01:34] <elias1> I can't see even the name!
[01:34] <cma> elias1: add show desktop & workspace switcher
[01:34] <Rune_> Spo8; sources can change over time and become invalid
[01:35] <Rune_> beryl is cool hehe
[01:35] <cypher1> Spo8: did you do "sudo apt-get update" ?
[01:35] <cma> elias1: right click properties 24 pix
[01:35] <Rune_> oh..
[01:35] <Spo8> cypher1: Yes, I did.  I followed that guide I linked line for line
[01:35] <cma> elias1: I think that's the default
[01:36] <Spo8> oh well except for one part.  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart.  How do I get it to come back to the GUI after this?
[01:36] <elias1> It was in the properties
[01:36] <elias1> but it wasn't that the problem
[01:36] <elias1> I have clicked the expand property
[01:37] <cma> elias1: ah yes. Cool
[01:37] <elias1> It's in my language Greek
[01:37] <elias1> I don't know if it's expand in english
[01:37] <Spo8> Oh I think I might have found the problem.  I was checking on the sources I added at the beginning and it adds
[01:37] <cma> elias1: yes it is.
[01:38] <Spo8> *sorry, it adds "restricted" to the end of both of them.
[01:38] <elias1> Then my english is good
[01:38] <cma> elias1: all back to normal?
[01:38] <elias1> hehe :p
[01:38] <Rune_> yay i win
[01:38] <elias1> yea
[01:38] <Sanne> hi
[01:38] <Spo8> so am I doing something wrong for it to be adding "restricted" to the end of those?
[01:39] <Spo8> hey sanne
[01:39] <cma> elias1: your english is excellent.
[01:39] <Rune_> Spo8; yeh they shouldn't say restricted
[01:40] <elias1> cma: I now think, that I should replace the bar with a desklet
[01:40] <elias1> hehe
[01:40] <Spo8> Hmm, well it seems to be doing that every time I enter them.  Am I doing something wrong like not saving before I leave?
[01:40] <Spo8> (can you tell this is my first day on linux?)
[01:40] <mackinac> elias1:  you added a "window list" to the panel?
[01:41] <Rune_> Spo8; what editor
[01:41] <Rune_> the problem might be caused by copy/paste.. you might have selected the arrow images
[01:41] <Spo8> Rune_: nano, I believe
[01:42] <Rune_> Spo8; Ctrl+o ?
[01:42] <Rune_> to save
[01:43] <IdleOne> ctrl+x
[01:43] <Rune_> ah
[01:44] <Sanne> I just repaired some file system errors on my root partition that caused it to be mounted read only. It seems to be ok now, but I'm worried about how this could have happened. Could anybody please have a look at the fsck output? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6089/
[01:45] <Rune__> wish me luck on amd64
[01:45] <Kresjah> Hey! I've been told that in the dri/mesa packages with ubuntu, the modules for getting mach64 running with acceleration has been disabled for security reasons. Anyone know how to get this enabled and running?
[01:46] <abyss> Frogzoo, i got now the problem when im closing evolution then the email-notification-evolution quits too. is there no possibility to run evolution on closing backgrounded
[01:47] <yossir> Hi. Are the other lists of recommended software for Ubuntu like this one: http://diveintomark.org/archives/2006/06/26/essentials-2006 ?
[01:47] <Frogzoo> abyss: if there is, I haven't found it yet
[01:47] <elias1> bye bye
[01:48] <abyss> i mean, like skype on clicking x it goest to the taskbar and running backgrounded on click on the icon then the gui appears again
[01:50] <Lynoure> yossir: That's just what he likes, so maybe there is. You could also go to #ubuntu-offtopic to ask people there for their recommendations
[01:50] <yossir> Lynoure: yeah, but he's a smart guy.
[01:50] <yossir> his advice was helpful. I installed some of his recs, and they rocked.
[01:51] <erUSUL> Sanne: if it was only *one* inode there is no reason to be worried. you can check the SMART output of the harddisk just in case...
[01:52] <Lynoure> yossir: some of those are unrecommended here, e.g. easyubuntu
[01:52] <Spo8> Okay so I got beryl installed this time, but now whenever I actually launch it with beryl-manager, it goes to a black screen, then the flashing cursor at the top, then it restarts my session and puts me at the logon screen.
[01:52] <yossir> Lynoure: yeah, it sucked :(
[01:53] <Sanne> erUSUL: thanks for your answer, now I'm not so worried anymore :). I also thought about SMART and enabled it in the BIOS already. Do you also recommend installing smartmontools?
[01:53] <erUSUL> Sanne: yes, just to be safe
[01:53] <kenthomson> Can someone please help me?
[01:54] <erUSUL> !anyone
[01:54] <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?
[01:54] <kenthomson> My repositories look broken; i was trying to install k3d, and it threw some error, now i can't re-install it, remove it, run it, anything; and whenever i try to install something new it halts and i get "E: k3d: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1"
[01:54] <Spo8> can anyone tell me how to update to the latest nvidia driver, please?
[01:54] <kenthomson> !nvidia
[01:54] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:55] <kenthomson> Spo8, though these are not the latest
[01:55] <Sanne> erUSUL: ok, I'll do that then. Thanks again, it really helps me calm down now. :)
[01:55] <erUSUL> kenthomson:  sudo dpkg --force-all -r k3b ??
[01:55] <whadar> how can i install kernel 2.6.20 with dapper?
[01:55] <Spo8> ah, thank you. kenthomson
[01:55] <whadar> !2.6.20
[01:55] <kenthomson> erUSUL, should i execute that? PLease remove the question marks and tell me that
[01:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 2.6.20 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:55] <whadar> !kernel
[01:55] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[01:55] <padge> I have a question about making a script in bash
[01:56] <kenthomson> Spo8, if you want to install the very latest nvidia drivers there's a more comlicated method let me see, i too would like to do it
[01:56] <padge> Is this done merely by typing a list of commands into the file, then setting it executable/
[01:56] <Spo8> come to think of it, i still have to change xorg so i actually get a decent resolution.  it's painful working in this low one.
[01:57] <Sanne> padge: you need to put '#!/bin/sh' at the top of the file (without quotes)
[01:57] <kenthomson> padge, exactly, but there are some rules to be followed; which you will find at Google "bash scripting guide"
[01:57] <erUSUL> kenthomson: yes try it
[01:57] <gary> I'm having some problems with flash.  I'm using firefox, and I have all the flash plugins installed.  In windows, the flash file plays perfectly.  But in firefox/gnu/linux I can only see the top-right hand corner of the file
[01:57] <padge> Thank you both
[01:57] <gary> I've checked this in firefox 1.5.x and firefox 2.x and it's both the same
[01:57] <gary> I'm puzzled, why this is happening
[01:57] <whadar> is it even possible to have kernel 2.6.20 under dapper?
[01:58] <kenthomson> erUSUL, please see #kensworld
[01:58] <Flannel> whadar: possible?  of course.  supported or simple? no.
[01:58] <gary> Has anyone experienced this sort of problem before, or have any idea why this may be happening?
[01:59] <yomm> gary : flash isn't enabled/installed by default
[01:59] <Sanne> padge: I'll give you three links of bash scripting intros I found useful (in addition to the bash scripting guide, which is very detailed)
[01:59] <Flannel> gary: Do you have flash7 or flash9 installed?  if the former, install the latter.  It's available in backports.
[02:00] <padge> Sanne: Awesome.  Thanks :)
[02:00] <gary> Actually, I've just noticed this error on the command line: ** Message: don't know how to handle application/x-shockwave-flash

[02:02] <Spo8> that !nvidia link is dead
[02:02] <Spo8> for the driver
[02:02] <Mez> Hobbsee, :P
[02:02] <Flannel> gary: actuall, for things like this (a single package) it's best to not add the entire repository (because it has other side effects), but just download the package and install it manually.  you can download from packages.ubuntu.com
[02:02] <kenthomson> whats happening?
[02:02] <Hobbsee> kenthomson: DONT PASTE IN HERE!!!!
[02:02] <ikonia_> your flooding the channel
[02:02] <Flannel> kenthomson: you got removed to stop the flood.  use pastebin.
[02:02] <Hobbsee> kenthomson: READ THE TOPIC
[02:02] <floozy> I have a server with ubuntu 6.06 installed on it, I only have command line access on it through SSH, and I want to install a desktop platform on it and remote desktop to it ;o
[02:02] <Hobbsee> kenthomson: the topic will help you.
[02:02] <gary> Flannel: I'll try that.  Does the error message I pasted look correct and implies I need flash 9 installed?
[02:02] <elkbuntu> kenthomson, you forgot about pastebin, then fell victim to mez' lag ;)
[02:02] <Hobbsee> floozy: sudo apt-get install <packages>
[02:02] <kenthomson> Hobbsee,  But i did it once and i realise it, is recursively kicking some going to help
[02:03] <ikonia_> yes
[02:03] <Sanne> padge: got my link list?
[02:03] <Flannel> gary: packages.ubuntu.com, then search for flash (same package name) in *-backports, click the package, scroll down to the bottom, download the file for your arch, install with dpkg
[02:03] <ikonia_> helped thewhole channel
[02:03] <ikonia_> for your ignorance
[02:03] <Hobbsee> kenthomson: i didnt do the second kick.
[02:03] <Flannel> gary: that error message looks like you don't have the flash plugin installed at all
[02:03] <kenthomson> erUSUL, can you help me further?
[02:03] <Spo8> hmm... it would seem the entire help.ubuntu.com is down.
[02:03] <gary> Flannel: strange, as flash works for other sites
[02:04] <Mez> kenthomson, sorry for the second kick... my PC was lagging
[02:04] <elkbuntu> Spo8, yeah technical problems at the moment. patience is advised
[02:04] <elkbuntu> :-/
[02:04] <erUSUL> kenthomson: try reinstalling it with apt 'sudo apt-get install k3b' if you get errors paste them to a pastebin
[02:04] <Flannel> gary: odd.  Well, maybe FF has some weird mime type thing going on.  But I imagine that mime is sent by other sites as well.  since I believe that's the standard one
[02:05] <ucordes> where is the settings file for irssi in ubuntu?

[02:05] <Rune__> ok... disc installer just sits there with an underscore at top left corner after selecting install or safe graphics install
[02:05] <Flannel> ucordes: ~/.irssi/config
[02:05] <Flannel> Rune__: did you verify the disk?
[02:05] <gary> Flannel: I've been fiddling around with the mime type in apache.  And that file is from the apache server.  I used this line in apache: AddHandler application/x-shockwave-flash .swf
[02:06] <gary> Never mind, I'll try install flash
[02:06] <Rune__> well the same thing happens with 2 other discs, one of which i verified
[02:06] <irega> hi
[02:06] <ucordes> Flannel: how do i put settings there, that are not yet included? like autoignore_time.. how do i put that in?
[02:06] <padge> Sanne: Yes, I have them.  I'm currently reading one that I found with google as directed.  I have the three you gave me in a gedit tab waiting for me :)
[02:06] <Flannel> gary: Wait.  Is it a shockwave?  er, let me check.
[02:06] <Rune__> i have 3 discs all doing same thing, 1 verifying the other 2 i didnt try.
[02:06] <kenthomson> Can someone please help me? I installed a package called k3d, it got installed; but now i can't run it, remove it, anything. It has been installed from official ubuntu repos. can someone help me clean up this mess, i get weird outputs while installing that package or any other package...
[02:07] <gary> Flannel: Something is strange here.  I go to http://10.0.0.xx/mysite/images/myfile.swf and it does display just a little corner of it
[02:07] <Flannel> Rune__: must be hardware issues.  Install from the alternate CD
[02:07] <floozy> I know about apt-get, dont know what package I need though
[02:07] <ikonia_> what happens when you try to run it ?
[02:07] <gary> When I hover over the file, the mouse icon flickers
[02:07] <Sanne> padge: ah, cool, I thought you might be reading already. :) Have fun!
[02:07] <gary> So the flash file is playing, but not all of it is shown. Just a very small corner bit
[02:07] <Rune__> Flannel; is alternate smart or has more drivers?
[02:07] <GaiaX11> kenthomson: Is it k3d or k3b?
[02:08] <Flannel> Rune__: alternate is textmode installer, console based GUI
[02:08] <Rune__> ic...
[02:08] <kenthomson> Gabrielote, k3d, D=Donkey
[02:09] <cypherdelic> can't login with my standard ubuntu-user. logs @ http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/7571/ and http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/7572/ - Please help, i think vncserver/-viewer messed something up.
[02:09] <kenthomson> GaiaX11, k3d, D=Donkey
[02:09] <GaiaX11> kenthomson: sudo dpkg --purge k3d
[02:09] <kenthomson> GaiaX11, system scrolls like hell, giving lot of errors and nonsense
[02:10] <floozy> so can anyone tell me how I can install a desktop, cant find anything with apt-get
[02:10] <gary> Flannel: Do you think it's worth installing flash 9 if the file is playing but only showing a small part of it
[02:10] <Flannel> floozy: ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop, or xubuntu-desktop
[02:10] <babo> my cursor is all messed up when I try to write in some applications. I think it might be an nvidia graphics card error. Does anyone know what I should do exactly ?
[02:11] <Flannel> gary: I don't know.  flash9 fixes a ton of issues with flash though.
[02:11] <GaiaX11> kenthomson: Have you tried the cli that I gave you?
[02:11] <babo> it's especially bad in gimp, where the paint cursor 'leaks' ink all over the canvas ...
[02:11] <kenthomson> GaiaX11, yes, the output of that commands gives weird text
[02:11] <cypherdelic> can't login with my standard ubuntu-user. logs @ http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/7571/ and http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/7572/ - Please help, i think vncserver/-viewer messed something up.
[02:12] <aalhamad> is there a pakage that locks file or program?
[02:12] <GaiaX11> kenthomson: So try to remove that through synaptic and check remove totally
[02:13] <kenthomson> HELP!: apt-get broken; problem occured while installing a package from official ubuntu repos called k3d (it is K3D); Now i can't run it, can't remove it (not in synaptic nor CLI); any everytime i try to install something new; this message (see the link below) comes in between before i can install anything. HELP. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6096/
[02:13] <kenthomson> GaiaX11, read that!
[02:14] <ikonia_> kenthomson you've already flooded the channel with that abotu 3 times
[02:14] <aalhamad> is there a package that locks file or programs?---plz help
[02:14] <ikonia_> give it a resst please
[02:14] <babo> does anyone answer questions in #ubuntu anymore ... ? ... or has it turned into a #centos ?
[02:14] <ikonia_> yes we answer questions
[02:14] <kenthomson> ikonia, call the apps and give a kick to me, and let the lurkers complain about flooding the channel and let the people who need support get kicked into the abyss
[02:15] <ucordes> Flannel: could you please help me with my irssi config problem? i don't understand where to put which options
[02:15] <ucordes> are there any guidelines for that?
[02:15] <Flannel> ucordes: just the manual
[02:15] <ikonia_> kenthomson I recognise you need support - yet constantly flooding the channel won't get it for you
[02:15] <Flannel> ucordes: er, that is the online manual, not the man page.  Well I guess the man page may have it too, I suppose I haven't looked
[02:16] <kenthomson> Frogzoo, i need some help
[02:16] <ucordes> Flannel: you mean http://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/Irssi#Completion this by online manual?
[02:16] <GaiaX11> kenthomson: un-install  and install apt-get again
[02:16] <ikonia_> kenthomson you've been given 3 suggestions to try
[02:17] <Flannel> ucordes: http://www.irssi.org/documentation
[02:17] <IdleOne> babo, it could be that nobody knows the answer to yuor question
[02:17] <ikonia_> babo whatsthe question ?
[02:17] <kenthomson> GaiaX11, nothing works
[02:17] <ikonia_> kenthomson we need more detail than "nothing works"
[02:17] <aalhamad> is there a package that locks file or programs?---plz help
[02:17] <ikonia_> what are the errors
[02:17] <ikonia_> aalhamad just use permissions
[02:17] <gary> Flannel: Flash 9 installed, although it still seems like firefox is using flashplayer7
[02:18] <GaiaX11> kenthomson: Have you tried aptitude to do  what I just have said to you?
[02:18] <babo> IdleOne, ikonia_ :My cursor is screwed, I think my nvidia graphics card isn't working with ubuntu or something ...
[02:18] <aalhamad> ikonia, but i want a pop up password.. rather than using the consile
[02:18] <ikonia_> babo are you using the nvidia drivers ?
[02:18] <aalhamad> ikonia, but i want a pop up password.. rather than using the temernal
[02:18] <kenthomson> ikonia,  GaiaX11, when i try to sudo apt-get remove i get "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"  and it is not un-installed
[02:18] <ikonia_> aalhamad then use permissions and sudo
[02:18] <GaiaX11> kenthomson: type in the terminal: aptitude
[02:18] <babo> ikonia_ : just a fresh ubuntu install ...
[02:18] <aalhamad> ok thanks
[02:18] <ikonia_> babo install the nvidia drivers ?
[02:18] <babo> ikonia_: Do I have to go and install the drivers myself then ?
[02:19] <babo> ahh
[02:19] <IdleOne> !nvidia | babo
[02:19] <ubotu> babo: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:19] <ikonia_> babo yup
[02:19] <babo> ikonia_: does easyubuntu handle it ?
[02:19] <ikonia_> NEVER use that
[02:19] <ucordes> Flannel: i allready was there. but i can't find anything on how to put those settings in the conf file :(
[02:19] <babo> ikonia: it's that bad then yes ?
[02:19] <ikonia_> babo BIG TIME bad
[02:19] <GaiaX11> kenthomson: try what I told you.   Mez, LjL, elkbuntu, imbrandon, DBO, gnomefreak, Hobbsee, rob, ompaul, Madpilot, Burgundavia, Seveas, CarlK, crimsun, ajmitch, tritium, Nalioth, thoreauputic, apokryphos or tonyyarusso
[02:21] <kenthomson> He's abusing
[02:21] <gnomefreak> kenthomson: ?
[02:21] <Frogzoo> !patience
[02:21] <ikonia_> kenthomson lsten to whats being said - there are 3 options to remove the packages - have you tried them ?
[02:21] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[02:21] <kenthomson> gnomefreak, <ikonia_> kenthomson use windows
[02:21] <mackinac> typical linux user attitude
[02:21] <Mez> !botabuse | kenthomson
[02:21] <ubotu> kenthomson: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[02:21] <kenthomson> gnomefreak, <ikonia_> and your clearly too dumb
[02:22] <gnomefreak> ikonia_: please dont talk down to people
[02:22] <babo> ikonia_: Am I better off going to nvidia and downloading the drivers from there ?
[02:22] <clem> babo: you can try envy
[02:22] <babo> ikonia, why in god's name is TV-Out support a prerequisite.
[02:22] <babo> ?
[02:22] <ikonia_> gnomefreak then he needs to listen and stop flooding the channel
[02:22] <clem> babo: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[02:22] <gnomefreak> ikonia_: if he doesnt listen than help someone else
[02:23] <babo> lspci | grep nvidia doesn't show any nvidia  text ...
[02:23] <ikonia_> babo use the guide on wiki.ubuntu.com - use the drivers from ubuntu
[02:23] <babo> it's empty.
[02:23] <GaiaX11> kenthomson: I am a Brazilian native Portuguese speaker and I self-learnt linux. You can do even better than me because it seems that you are an English native speaker. So, try aptitude. Only read the docs to understand.
[02:23] <ikonia_> gnomefreak no chance, he's being a pain in the neck, the channel shouldn't put up with it
[02:23] <aalhamad> what support i can find to be a netwrok admin. in my local netwrok? as my routor was set up using widows... i just want to control it and check who log in and log out
[02:23] <aalhamad> thank
[02:23] <aalhamad> thanks
[02:23] <ikonia_> fed up of pansey approach to people who cry wolf but don't want to fix it#
[02:23] <Sanne> babo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[02:23] <ikonia_> babo just download the drivers and follow the guide
[02:24] <elkbuntu> ikonia, if you're at that point of frustration, you need to walk away for a few minutes rather than insult
[02:24] <Sanne> babo: use: lspci | grep -i nvidia
[02:24] <GaiaX11> Don't fight guys. Take it ease :-)
[02:24] <ikonia_> aalhamad this is ubuntu support only
[02:24] <aalhamad> ikonia, where can i find support plz?
[02:24] <ikonia_> elkbuntu I just stated a fact - he should use windows if all the interfaces are too complex and he can't / doesn't want to listen to help
[02:24] <ikonia_> aalhamad no idea
[02:25] <GaiaX11> brb :-)
[02:25] <BogusBill> hello everyone, I'm having problems with my cpu frequency scaling on a Pentium 4, some one can help?
[02:25] <elkbuntu> ikonia, it might be a fact, but that does not mean you should verbalise it.
[02:25] <Bluespear> Hello, I've a fresh ubuntu installation but don't remember base login, just the password :o Has it a default root acount ?
[02:25] <Sanne> ikonia_: a bit more patience on your side would help, I think. We were all confused beginners sometimes.
[02:25] <ikonia_> elkbuntu nor would I have done if the user had been flooding the channel constantly
[02:26] <elkbuntu> ikonia, if you have a problem with a flooding user, utilise the ops, rather than breaking the CoC with insults
[02:26] <ikonia_> Sanne I am patient with people who don't keep saying "help help help" - then say they don't want to do that when you help, then I have no time for them
[02:26] <BogusBill> some one knows anithing about a p4-clockmod module without the N60 errata?
[02:26] <bofphile> Hi !
[02:26] <bofphile> Does anyone know how to disable the infrared port (for a remote) on my Packard Bell laptop ?
[02:26] <Sanne> ikonia: I understand your frustration, but still, try to remain respectful and polite, if you can.
[02:26] <Seveas> elkbuntu: repeat offender, just ban :)
[02:26] <gnomefreak> ah
[02:26] <elkbuntu> Seveas, wasnt aware, sorry
[02:27] <babo> Sanne: ahh ... thanks ...
[02:27] <babo> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 01d8 (rev a1)
[02:27] <Seveas> elkbuntu, no need to apologize ;)
[02:27] <babo> so I guess I don't have the driver then ... I'm installing the restricted modules now ..
[02:27] <Sanne> babo: you're welcome :)
[02:27] <cma> Bluespear: there is a root account, but if you want to access it sudo
[02:27] <Sanne> babo: lspci lists not your driver, but your cards. It was for determining you really have an nvidia card :)
[02:28] <babo> Sanne: aye, thanks
[02:28] <Sanne> babo: but follow this page, and if you already have the driver package installed, you will get output accordingly.
[02:28] <babo> Sanne: I've a new computer, so nvidia-glx should be OK right ?
[02:29] <Bluespear> During installation, I specified the machine name (let to ubuntu by default) and a password, but no login :o How to log-in yet ?
[02:29] <Sanne> babo: I think so, but there's a link to a text file that lists hte cards that need the legacy driver. Check to be sure.
[02:29] <Ian-C> Howdy all!  I've stupidly selected a screen saver that crashes Ubuntu Edgy.  How can I turn it off or change it to a non-crashing one?
[02:29] <babo> Sanne: how do I find out what my card is ?
[02:29] <webby> Hello! Someone can help me with a problem on raid1 created with MDADM?
[02:29] <Sanne> babo: sec, phonecall
[02:29] <babo> Sanne: lscpi says unknown device
[02:29] <babo> k
[02:30] <cma> Bluespear:  did you create a user acct?
[02:30] <padge> Sanne: I just levelled up! :)
[02:30] <BogusBill> Some one knows if there is a workaround for the N60 errata on the p4-clockmode module for CPU frequency scaling on a Pentium 4 running edgy?
[02:30] <babo> how do I find out what nvidia card I'm running ?
[02:30] <Sanne> babo: back
[02:30] <babo> cool :-)
[02:30] <dooglus> Bluespear: log in as the user you created
[02:30] <Bluespear> noppe, seams I forgot
[02:30] <Sanne> padge: what does it mean? (sorry, german here) ;)
[02:31] <Bluespear> Is the root account disabled from login-screen ?
[02:31] <Sanne> babo: it also sais it here, so you shouldn't worry (I also have an nvidia card)
[02:31] <cma> Bluespear:  in that case reboot, press esc at grub, and login as root
[02:31] <babo> Sanne: says it where ?
[02:31] <dooglus> Bluespear: from the gdm login screen?  yes.
[02:31] <Theis> i have just formatted my new extern haddrive to EXT3, but i have no right to write on it ?
[02:31] <Bluespear> yes :)
[02:31] <padge> Sanne: A humorous reference to to role-playing games, where after defeating monsters or performing tasks you can gain experience.  Once a certain threshold is reached, your level increases by one, altering your stats to make you a more powerful character.
[02:31] <Sanne> babo: sorry, my lspc sais also unknown device for my nvidia card
[02:31] <mackinac> bluespear, if you can run a liveCD, you can browse your user /home directory, it's name will be the user name
[02:31] <babo> Sanne: I'll just go with nvidia-glx and see if that works ..
[02:32] <babo> Sanne: aye,
[02:32] <Bluespear> cma: thanks, I would try it :)
[02:32] <Sanne> babo: check here: http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8762/README/appendix-a.html
[02:32] <Bluespear> mackinac, I would see (running it from virtualbox atm, so it was a kick test installation ;)
[02:32] <Sanne> padge: aaaah! hehe. Great BASH master, I bow before you. :)
[02:32] <webby> Hello! Someone can help me with a problem on raid1 created with MDADM?
[02:33] <Ian-C> I'm sure the screen saver is references in some configuration file, but what/where would I find it?
[02:33] <babo> Sanne: K, I'll go down for the reboot and see if it works ...
[02:33] <elias_> Is it possible to use a 32-bit version ubuntu even if i have a 64-bit cpu?
[02:33] <Sanne> babo: you don't need to reboot
[02:33] <babo> Sanne: well, gtk restart ...
[02:33] <padge> Sanne: I say that whenever after learning a few things several ligering questions get answered and many things fall into place, at which point I am able to do things I wasn't able to do
[02:33] <Sanne> babo: no
[02:34] <Sanne> babo: kill the x server with ctrl-alt-backspace
[02:34] <Rune_> elias; yes
[02:34] <floozy> ok so after I have finished installing ubuntu-desktop with apt-get install, what do I do now? startx?
[02:35] <Sanne> padge: I have to remember that, sounds cool. Thanks for the explanation.
[02:35] <elias_> Rune_, it wont have any "downsides" ?
[02:35] <Ian-C> Elias_:   What CPU are you using?   Most are backwards compatible with 32 bit instructions - so Yes you can run 32 Ubuntu
[02:35] <Rune_> elias; no, 64 bit processors have 32bit mode
[02:35] <elias_> Ian-C, amd64
[02:35] <javatard> What is the command to get details on a wireless card? iwlist - and I forget
[02:35] <javatard> !iwlist
[02:36] <unop> iwconfig
[02:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about iwlist - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:36] <Frogzoo> "/bind meta-x command window last"
[02:36] <cma> floozy: yes, or reboot into gdm
[02:36] <Ian-C> Elias_:  I'm about 99.999% sure it should work
[02:36] <unop> ifconfig would also work, javatard
[02:36] <webby> Hello! Someone can help me with a problem on raid1 created with MDADM?
[02:36] <javatard> unop to to get detailed info, or is it pcilst ?
[02:36] <Theis> How can I tranfer files to my EXT3 extern harddrive ?
[02:37] <javatard> unop i want to drill down deeper, to get the version etc
[02:37] <ardchoille> javatard: You mean lspci ?
[02:37] <avatar_> unop, javatard
[02:37] <javatard> i forget
[02:37] <avatar_> hah
[02:37] <javatard> ahhh
[02:37] <javatard> or that too
[02:37] <unop> javatard,  lspci, if you mean that, only lists hardware specifics
[02:37] <avatar_> gash :D
[02:37] <javatard> thanks, I am called Tard for a reason ;)
[02:37] <unop> or should i say, pci specifics
[02:38] <javatard> tada! thank you
[02:38] <unop> javatard,  ethtool will give you detailed info about an ethernet card, not sure about otherwise
[02:38] <Rune_> elias_; so you installed an amd64 distro ok? i'm having no luck with 64 or i386 on my rig
[02:38] <elias_> Rune_, im using a 64bit distro here on my laptop
[02:38] <javatard> unop, ethtool a cli cmd?
[02:38] <unop> javatard,  yep
[02:39] <avatar_> gash :)
[02:39] <avatar_> getting highlighted :)
[02:39] <javatard> bad command, I'll google it though
[02:39] <elias_> there are alot of things that doesnt work, or are compatible with amd64
[02:39] <unop> javatard,  http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=ethtool&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=edgy&arch=i386
[02:40] <javatard> unop, thank you for your help
[02:40] <zyth> elias_, alot of other things work if you compile them.
[02:40] <Rune__> elias_; so you installed an amd64 distro ok? i'm having no luck with 64 or i386 on my rig
[02:40] <javatard> I learn something ner everyday :)
[02:40] <elias_> Rune_, im using a 64bit distro here on my laptop
[02:40] <javatard> ner=new
[02:40] <Rune__> lucky you
[02:40] <Rune__> hopefully not back soon, bye
[02:41] <cypherdelic> can't login with my standard ubuntu-user. logs @ http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/7571/ and http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/7572/ - Please help, i think vncserver/-viewer messed something up.
[02:41] <Sanne> bye all
[02:42] <javatard> 64bit was killing me with the broadcom card. I had to go back to 32bit, took me 2 mins to set it up. The drivers for 64bit get a bit wonky
[02:42] <floozy> getting some font error when I try to start vncserver ;s
[02:42] <elias_> And I need to use a 32bit version of firefox to get flash :|
[02:42] <dave__> hi,  i am running an nvidia video card.  I have the resolution right but looking at the way my screen jumps and things when scrolling, it seems the drivers for my video card are not installed.  is there an easy way to install them?  i have a disk with the .exe for windows if that makes a difference.
[02:43] <Ian-C> Has anybody got a solution to the screen-saver crash problem?
[02:43] <javatard> Ian-C, what ya running?
[02:43] <BogusBill> Some one knows how to enable CPU frequency scaling on a Pentium 4 running edgy? The only solution I found on the forums is to recompile the kernel, manually editing the source of the p4-clockmode module to disable the N60 errata. Not what I would call a user friendly solution (I leaved my days of kernel compilation behind when I changed from slackware to debian 7 years ago :-)
[02:43] <swarog> hello
[02:44] <swarog> is ubuntu 6.10 server default installation maybe with X ?
[02:44] <Rienzilla> wow :)
[02:44] <Rienzilla> crowded :)
[02:44] <Ian-C> Javatard:  Ubuntu-Edgy - was trying out different screen savers to see what they looked like, hit the molicule one, and it crashes the entire system every time
[02:45] <aalhamad> what is nubuntu is it s network admin or an OS?
[02:45] <javatard> Ian-C, I had issues with some screensavers, upgrading to the lastest nvidia drivers helped me, maybe for you too? idk
[02:46] <Rienzilla> Hello everyone, I was wondering about the functionality of ubuntu backports. I entered appropriate lines in my sources.list, but in order to actually pick a package from the backports, do I need to set something in preferences? Or will it take all available backport packages automatically?
[02:46] <Ian-C> Java:  Saw that a lot in my Google searches - but sadly it won't work for me because this machine is running an old ATI Rage128 card
[02:47] <valehru> hey guys, how can I kill arts?
[02:47] <javatard> Ian-C,  you might check the beryl posts. They have a lot of solutions for video cards there, might give you an idea
[02:48] <javatard> Ian-C, just a thought
[02:48] <valehru> anyone here have a clue?
[02:48] <geckino> Why mount display "/dev/.static/dev/hda7 on / type reiserfs (rw)" but "/dev/hda7 on / type reiserfs (rw)"?
[02:48] <javatard> valehru, yea, the butler did it
[02:49] <valehru> ;)
[02:49] <elias_> If I install a 32bit distro on my 64bit pc, would I be able to use the 32bit progams and install flash and java without problems?
[02:49] <javatard> Ian-C, that is a PPC you are working with?
[02:50] <javatard> Ian-C,  go to the PPC forums on Ubuntu I found what you are looking for
[02:50] <swarog> hm, ubuntu 6.10 server reported it cant retrieve kernel from current apt source
[02:51] <swarog> now its failing 'select and install software' part
[02:51] <valehru> For the love of god, I can't figure out why UT2004 doesnt have any sound when playing...
[02:51] <gordonjcp> is something running that's taken over the sound?
[02:51] <gordonjcp> esd, or jack or something?
[02:52] <Ian-C> Java:  Nope an x86 machine (AMD 1333)
[02:52] <valehru> gordonjcp, how can I check?
[02:52] <aalhamad> i have a 2 linux Pc and 3 Xp PS at my place... i want to setup a netwrok between all og them .. i want to make on Linux Pc as an admin and the others as clients... how can i do that ? plz help me with support or wiki's :)
[02:52] <javatard> Ian-C, it was used in PPC as well, I privated you the info
[02:52] <gordonjcp> valehru: ps | grep esd?
[02:52] <gordonjcp> ps | less and see what's running maybe?
[02:52] <javatard> aalhamad, samba
[02:52] <gordonjcp> valehru: does sound work generally, like with rhythmbox?
[02:53] <|Bot|> who can say me? i can sell PC at install ubuntu?
[02:53] <valehru> ps | grep esd -> nothing
[02:53] <valehru> ps | less gives no sound applications
[02:53] <aalhamad> javatard, it can make me as an admin .. and control the people who log in on the network?
[02:53] <gordonjcp> valehru: check that some other program can produce sound, and that the mixer channel isn't muted and the volume is up
[02:53] <valehru> sound plays perfectly with bmp and banshee
[02:53] <swarog> ideas?
[02:53] <gordonjcp> valehru: alsa mutes sound by default
[02:53] <javatard> aalhamad, that sounds more like an LDAP thing
[02:54] <aalhamad> ooh ok..
[02:54] <Matthai> hi, anybody knows how to tar & gzip a file, but the archive should be splitted into many smaller files, for example 1 Gb size each?
[02:54] <javatard> aalhamad, and the XP would have to be pro to auth with kerberos or you need to do some haking
[02:54] <gordonjcp> valehru: 'cos of course only a total noob would spend ages messing about the to get the sound working, only to discover the master out is muted
[02:54] <gordonjcp> <shuffles feet, looks at shoes>
[02:54] <valehru> gordonjcp, nah its not that
[02:54] <mackinac> !tar
[02:54] <ubotu> Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression
[02:54] <aalhamad> javatard, ok help me with a wiki plz to control and see hows loged in my netwrok?
[02:55] <gordonjcp> (in my case, it was another channel on the physical audio mixer my PC was plugged into set to SOLO)
[02:55] <gordonjcp> d'oh
[02:55] <javatard> aalhamad, I would start by googling LDAP and mixed networks, thats just me though
[02:55] <aalhamad> ok thanks
[02:56] <geckino> what's /dev/.static/..?
[02:56] <Dante123> hi all.....when someone says heir ubuntu installation is "broken"....what exactly do they mean?  What are the symptoms?
[02:57] <valehru> Dante123, ineptitude
[02:57] <Dante123> valehru.....please elaborate.
[02:57] <osfameron> that's a little unkind :-)
[02:58] <osfameron> Dante123: "broken" is a slightly over the top way of saying "doesn't work"
[02:58] <valehru> Dante123, it usually refers to packages being out of date
[02:58] <Dante123> I hear people saying things like "automatix broke my installation" etc...what symtoms are they seeing?
[02:58] <valehru> Dante123, or wrongly installed packages
[02:58] <osfameron> the reasons for calling something broken range from bugs, to user error, to high expectations :-)
[02:59] <Dante123> can't login.....programs crash...???
[02:59] <valehru> basically it means things don't work as they should, ie, when packages being installed have unexpected results..
[02:59] <Dante123> so.....would you steer a newer user away from automatix
[02:59] <Dante123> ?
[03:00] <mackinac> !automatix
[03:00] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[03:00] <valehru> Dante123, automatix is fine...
[03:00] <aeromix> I have a question: grep -o "&rid\=[0-9] \{6,7\}&" $f | grep -o "[0-9] \{6,7\}" | while read f; do uid[$a] =${f}; let a=$a+1; done; echo "$a" why is $a 0 and not the number of finished loops?
[03:00] <Frogzoo> Dante123: if you want to use automatix fine, but the -> #automatix for support
[03:00] <Dante123> okay....okay......that's the "official" party line.....I am asking you as an individual user
[03:00] <ardchoille> Dante123: automatix is not supported and should be avoided.
[03:01] <jussi01> Dante123: Ive used it, no probs, but now I dont bother, its better to get the stuff yourself
[03:01] <Dante123> okay....I didn't know they had a chatroom......is it "hard" to do what automatix does.....for the average newer user....becuase I will avoid it if I can...
[03:01] <valehru> Dante123, if it makes you happy to use it and adds precious seconds to your interesting life with which to watch pron then by all means use it......Personally I avoid it...
[03:01] <javatard> Dante123, broken = borked or Fubar or Windowslike
[03:01] <Frogzoo> Dante123: there's excellent howtos for everything automatix does
[03:02] <Dante123> Is there a unofficial guide somewhere you recommend?
[03:02] <Dante123> Frogzoo....any links to it?
[03:02] <LjL> Dante123, i don't know what exactly automatix does, but tell us what *you* want to do
[03:02] <ardchoille> Dante123: I feel it is better to learn how to do that stuff yourself. That way, if anyting breaks, you will be better equipped to fix it rather than be totally lost.
[03:02] <Frogzoo> Dante123: -> #automatix
[03:02] <javatard> Dante123, the forums are very good at telling you how to install via command line. It is a straight forward text command and something good to learn IMO
[03:02] <Dante123> Well.....my kids want flash and java for their computer.....
