[12:01] <pbureau> thompa, whats printer model and how is it connected ?
[12:01] <LiENUS> CSonicGo,  2.6.x kernels arent "stable" at release
[12:01] <LiENUS> its up to the distributors to stabilize them
[12:01] <CSonicGo> oh
[12:01] <Falladir> LiENUS: will this work on an NTFS partition, through NTFS-3G?
[12:01] <thompa> pbureau, its a 1018 laserjet HP, usb, always worked before
[12:01] <LiENUS> Falladir, ... i think so
[12:01] <LiENUS> writing to ntfs is a bad idea though...
[12:02] <CSonicGo> LiENUS, in that case, do you know the address to the Fiesty Repository?
[12:02] <pbureau> thompa, and you had that icon for that printer in the admin section ?
[12:02] <thompa> pbureau, I followed the instructions for installing the driver cause the bottom was cut off, now it wont print at all
[12:02] <pbureau> humm
[12:02] <LiENUS> CSonicGo, don't know heh personally im going to wait till it comes out...
[12:02] <thompa> pbureau, the icon is in the panel
[12:02] <linux_kid1> techwhore: the wiki explains the procedure in both KDE and GNOME, but not in Xfce
[12:02] <thompa> pbureau, i need to somehow install from scratch everything,
[12:03] <thompa> pbureau, its only a problem with ubuntu, i dont want to change distros cause of it
[12:04] <thompa> pbureau, I got it to work once before i upgraded, but had to practically remove everything and install again
[12:04] <pbureau> thompa,  I would delete the printer from cups interface.. click on icon if you have the PDD then link it when it asks forit
[12:04] <Falladir> LiENUS: the terminal that I ran "dd if=/dev/zero of=tmp.file" in doesn't seem to be responding
[12:04] <Falladir> LiENUS: should this take long?
[12:04] <thompa> pbureau, I did that too,
[12:05] <thompa> pbureau, right now its easier to just reinstall ubuntu
[12:05] <LiENUS> yes
[12:05] <SmashCat> Falladir: You have to specify the count otherwise you'll fill your filesystem...
[12:05] <LiENUS> it will take quite some time
[12:05] <erUSUL> Falladir: untill your disk is full or you interrupt it with crtl + C
[12:05] <LiENUS> SmashCat,  thats the idea he wants to delete data he already deleted...
[12:05] <SmashCat> ah right ;-)
[12:05] <pbureau> thompa,  I dont know what to say
[12:05] <jonw> evening, I've lost my /boot partition, I have the grub directory but need to rebuild the rest .. any help/pointrers ? thanks ;)
[12:05] <giuseppe> Hi guys, I'v downloaded a lot of themes on gnome-look.org but they didn't work like screenshoot, can you told me why? thanks

[12:06] <GionnyBoss> does anyone use XLG with compiz? I can't change theme and fonts correctly... can anybody help me, please?
[12:06] <thompa> pbureau, ill try again, but in ubuntu i think i have to remove almost the entire distro, then put the packages back cups and such to get it too work, unless i knew what the culprit is
[12:07] <Byan> how do I install xgl on ubuntu.. I just need someone to do the trigger to give me that link
[12:07] <Zenith2007> hi all, could anyone help please, when installing or removing packages my ubuntu just hangs at Building depency tree... and CPU usage hits 100% and doesn't come back down? any ideas please.
[12:07] <pbureau> thompa, weird indeed.
[12:08] <thompa> pbureau, maybe bad firmware, in debian testing it always works
[12:08] <GionnyBoss> Byan, I have just installed xgl... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl and then when installed, follow the link at the end of the page to install a composite manager
[12:09] <jrib> Byan: /msg ubotu xgl    you can ask him on your own
[12:09] <thompa> thats the only thing i dont like, ubuntu in being simple, makes it impossible to figure out
[12:09] <Byan> jrib: uh, ok
[12:09] <joselito> hola
[12:10] <GionnyBoss> Byan, did you get it? installation is very easy if you follow that link... I just don't understand how can I set fonts and theme correctly, but it works! and make sure that you add all plugins with compiz to have all the visual effects
[12:10] <Kajin> This problem has bothered me all day. I've done a fresh install of Ubuntu Edgy, had some problems with my internet connection, so I set my DNS servers to both my router and the servers supplied by my ISP, I turned of IPv6 and I still can't browse to Yahoo's website (by URL or IP), even though I can ping both Yahoo.com and <IP_ADDRESS> (Yahoo's IP). As opposed to Yahoo, I can still access Google's site trough both the URL and the IP. Pinging works per

[12:11] <CSonicGo> may I ask that for the new feisty release, that the "drivers" for the RAGE MOBILITY are  included :-)
[12:11] <termos> i just went from breezy -> dapper without any problems, how do I go from dapper -> edgy?

[12:25] <coreire> bugger, was trying to set my res and am now getting "mode not supported" on my screen. Any key combination to get from the kde username/pass screen to the commandline?
[12:26] <deafboy> the package w32codecs causes totem to crash while playing any wmv file, is there an alternative?
[12:26] <moloch> can somebody help me manually compile a file? It has a makefile in its directory
[12:26] <moloch> I have tried make and it doesnt seem to work gives 2 errors
[12:27] <pbureau> moloch,  README and INSTALL explain how to compile a program, now if you are getting an error, can you paste the LINE, 1 line , please of error
[12:27] <karmatronic> drkm, maybe need to run something like gnupod_INIT.pl -m /media/ipod/
[12:28] <moloch> it doesnt have a readme or install file just a sec and i will post one of the errors
[12:28] <karmatronic> drkm,  although i admit its not without danger
[12:28] <viniac> hi. whats the keyboard shortcut to invoke the gnome-terminal ( i want to forego the need to click on the icon every time i need to open a gnome-terminal)
[12:28] <moloch> ok here are the errors
[12:28] <moloch> e/moloch/liuxwii/src/zd1205.h:1201: sorry, unimplemented: inlining failed in call to zd_writel: function body not available
[12:28] <moloch> /home/moloch/liuxwii/src/zddebug.c:433: sorry, unimplemented: called from here
[12:28] <pbureau> muses not compiling apps that tell me what they are doing...lol
[12:28] <drkm> karmatronic: I got it wrong :)
[12:28] <jrib> deafboy: mplayer, xine, vlc are alternatives
[12:29] <mcphail> viniac: iirc you can make your own shortcut
[12:29] <deafboy> jrib: xine crashes also, vlc doesn't but it gets corrupted easier
[12:29] <mcphail> viniac: system -> prefs -> keyboard shortcuts
[12:29] <viniac> ok, thanks mcphail
[12:29] <jrib> deafboy: what do you mean by "corrupted"?  How about mplayer?
[12:30] <pbureau> moloch,  looks like your  *.c files have unimplemented commands that are shorting out your compile process, this could be because your missing some modules... I would check with who ever wrote the app to find out what are the dependencies of compiling this app.
[12:30] <deafboy> jrib: like it takes longer to render if you fast forward (in vlc), mplayer works but you can't resize the actual vidoe, only the window
[12:30] <moloch> they are imposible to get ahold of
[12:30] <pbureau> moloch,  just wondering, did you do a ./configure before your make ? and you are doing both as sudo right ?
[12:30] <BetaCookies> Hey
[12:30] <jrib> deafboy: you can resize video in mplayer, what video output are you using?
[12:30] <BetaCookies> What should I use to burn an iso?
[12:30] <moloch> no i didnt try to do that
[12:30] <francois> BetaCookies: k3b
[12:30] <moloch> sudo?
[12:30] <BetaCookies> k
[12:30] <moloch> could you give me the correct command tod o it with sudo?
[12:30] <bruenig> BetaCookies, is it cd or dvd?
[12:30] <pbureau> moloch,  type sudo ./configure
[12:30] <mcphail> pbureau: why sudo for make???
[12:31] <karmatronic> BetaCookies,  mkisofs + cdrecord
[12:31] <deafboy> jrib: x11 is what i;m using, i have no clue which one i'm supposed to use
[12:31] <pbureau> mcphail, old bad habit I always do it.. never failed me yet
[12:31] <moloch> sudo ./configure
[12:31] <ardchoille> deafboy, If you change to the XV driver in the video section, you can resize the vieo as well as the window.
[12:31] <moloch> it says command not found
[12:31] <At0mic_P1> I must have an irssi open somewhere lost lol
[12:31] <moloch> should i try sudo ./make
[12:31] <pbureau> no
[12:31] <f|shy> install autoconf?
[12:31] <BetaCookies> bruenig, its CD iso
[12:31] <jrib> deafboy: try xv
[12:31] <pbureau> moloch, try sudo .configure
[12:32] <moloch> ok
[12:32] <bruenig> BetaCookies, just open up a terminal and do cdrecord dev=/dev/hd? whatever.iso
[12:32] <mcphail> pbureau: risky business.
[12:32] <bernie> hey, i just installed the 8.33.6 ati driver but i still get the no direct rendering on 200m
[12:32] <bruenig> BetaCookies, replace ? and whatever
[12:32] <moloch> command not found
[12:32] <pbureau> f|shy, lol and waste all the fun of learning how to compile a program?
[12:32] <BetaCookies> bruenig, to burn a CD?
[12:32] <f|shy> :p
[12:32] <bruenig> BetaCookies, yeah
[12:32] <pbureau> mcphail, why..? because root is the owner of the compile program versus the user ?
[12:32] <ardchoille> deafboy, The xv driver will also allow you to take a screenshot of the ovie with screenshooter, IIRC.
[12:32] <deafboy> jrib: yes xv works? why are there so many choices
[12:33] <moloch> i tried sudo make and it gave me the same errors
[12:33] <jrib> deafboy: choices are good :)
[12:33] <pbureau> moloch, I dont know man... what did you download/compile got a web link I could look at the file
[12:33] <eternaljoy> f|shy: ROFL
[12:33] <mcphail> pbureau: ./configure is just a script which can contain _anything_. There is no need to run it as root
[12:33] <deafboy> jrib: too bad i know nothing about it, the default crashed mplayer XD
[12:33] <moloch> ok just a sec and i will give you a web link it is a wifi driver for a wii
[12:33] <pbureau> WII ? as in the nintendo box ?
[12:34] <moloch> yeah
[12:34] <pbureau> lol
[12:34] <moloch> trying to get it connected to my linux system :0
[12:34] <pbureau> mcphail, true..
[12:34] <bernie> hey, i just installed the 8.33.6 ati driver but i still get the no direct rendering on 200m
[12:34] <pbureau> mcphail, like I said.. bad habit.
[12:34] <deafboy> jrib: is there an mplayer wiki?
[12:34] <mcphail> pbureau: yep
[12:34] <pbureau> <- runs SU most of time when working on linux box.
[12:34] <knovak> Anyone go to the Linuxquestions.org Ubuntu forums?
[12:34] <moloch> ok here is the link

[12:34] <karmatronic> deafboy, yes

[12:35] <GionnyBoss> I'm using Ubuntu Edgy with XGL and Compiz. Everything looks to work good but, when I maximize a window, window's bottom hides below bottom menu and it's very annoying... for example, when I maximize this xchat window, the textbox down here disappear behind bottom menu. Does anybody have the same problem? Do you know what can I do to resolve it, please?
[12:36] <kirby145> hello i was going to ask is anyone here until 987 useres loaded up

[12:47] <pbureau> nexousNET, yes. but you did not tell me you installed the development modules -dev
[12:47] <nexousNET> pbureau: that is because I do not know if they are installed.
[12:47] <pbureau> nexousNET, look ? like in synaptic if your using gnome, and do a search for them?
[12:48] <nexousNET> what package am i searching for though?

[12:50] <[H4z3] > edgy ftw
[12:50] <bruenig> nexousNET, sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils
[12:50] <nexousNET> bruenig: ndiswrapper-utils is already the newest version.
[12:50] <bruenig> nexousNET, sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common
[12:50] <CakerX> I got all the alsa stuff installed
[12:51] <BetaCookies> how do I burn an ISO to a CD-R?
[12:51] <kitche> CakerX: ubuntuforums have a post about your card is mono playback unmuted?
[12:51] <bruenig> BetaCookies, cdrecord whatever.iso
[12:51] <nexousNET> bruenig: could not find package ndiswrapper-common
[12:51] <bruenig> !ndiswrapper-common
[12:51] <ubotu> ndiswrapper-common: Userspace utilities for ndiswrapper. In component main, is optional. Version 1.18-1ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 13 kB, installed size 80 kB
[12:51] <bruenig> it is in there
[12:51] <BetaCookies> bruenig, okay, do I have to do anything to select the writer or anything?
[12:51] <nexousNET> thats ndiswrapper-source
[12:51] <bruenig> BetaCookies, it is not necessary
[12:52] <nexousNET> that was the desc of -source
[12:52] <BetaCookies> well I'm gonna use K3b XD
[12:52] <bruenig> you can specify the writer by putting in dev=/dev/hd?
[12:52] <bruenig> where ? is the letter
[12:52] <Jonny0stars> or does any one use a speedtouch ADSL modem in the UK ?
[12:52] <bruenig> hmmm
[12:52] <BetaCookies> bruenig, there's no hd? in /dev :\
[12:52] <ryanakca> how do I make a letter in latex? all I can find are templates that use packages/.sty from universities/colleges/institutes
[12:52] <kitche> BetaCookies: that's ok your still using cdrecord :)
[12:52] <bruenig> BetaCookies, /dev/hdc
[12:52] <bruenig> or /dev/hdd
[12:52] <bruenig> or whatever it is
[12:52] <nexousNET> bruenig: i have ndiswrapper, -source and -utils i got from synaptic.
[12:52] <saxofoner> hi all
[12:52] <BetaCookies> okay
[12:52] <saxofoner> I'm having a big stupid problem
[12:52] <bruenig> BetaCookies, but it is not necessary to put that in at all
[12:53] <nexousNET> bruenig: -source had the description of userspace utilities.
[12:53] <bruenig> nexousNET, they all have the same description
[12:53] <kirby145> i have a microsoft office 2000 on the computer i want to install ubuntu on, and theres no way to get it off, is it possible to install ubuntu with this office 2000 in any way
[12:53] <nexousNET> bruenig: :/
[12:53] <BetaCookies> ooh
[12:53] <lumgwada> hi all, can any ubuntu ion users point me to the startup file?
[12:53] <BetaCookies> k3b has a thingie on the screen for the progress! cool!
[12:53] <nexousNET> bruenig: how do i get ndiswrapper-common ?
[12:53] <saxofoner> I somehow totally messed up my user file, because when I made a new user, it all works.  Is there a way to reset my file?
[12:53] <jrib> kirby145: whay do you mean there is no way to get it off?
[12:53] <saxofoner> kirby145: What do you want to do?
[12:53] <bruenig> nexousNET, try sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.8
[12:53] <kitche> lumgwada: .ion3rc or might be just .ionrc
[12:54] <jrib> saxofoner: what file exactly?
[12:54] <lumgwada> kitche: cheers
[12:54] <bruenig> k3b just to burn an iso
[12:54] <bruenig> overkill
[12:54] <nexousNET> bruenig: E: Couldn't find package ndiswrapper-utils-1.8
[12:54] <saxofoner> jrib:  thanks, the xorg? file I think.  Since it's not system wide
[12:54] <kirby145> c://program files/office 2000 and keep only these files when installing ubuntu
[12:54] <bruenig> nexousNET, what are you on
[12:54] <bruenig> dapper
[12:54] <nexousNET> bruenig: 6.06
[12:54] <bruenig> nexousNET, oh
[12:54] <jrib> saxofoner: well /etc/X11/xorg.conf _is_ system wide
[12:54] <bruenig> Well I am on edgy, so I don't know for sure what you have in your repos or not
[12:55] <diskus> kirby145: there's not much you can do with those files in Ubuntu
[12:55] <kirby145> is there a way to keep or copy certain files over when installing ubuntu is what i mean
[12:55] <pppoe_dude> how can i add an ubuntu CD to apt sources using command line?
[12:55] <kirby145> [16:55]  diskus: kirby145: there's not much you can do with those files in Ubuntu """"what about wine
[12:55] <saxofoner> jrib:  it was WACKY! My numpad was restarting the computer, opening system/prefs/screensavers crashed the system... twinview was messed up.  I realize it's not xorg.conf... Is there a user specific file related to the x server?
[12:55] <diskus> kirby145: well why not using openoffice?
[12:55] <kitche> pppoe_dude: apt-cdrom
[12:56] <jrib> saxofoner: not that I know of
[12:56] <saxofoner> kirby145:  you should put all your files on a disk, and then install linux, and then you can use them in OOo.
[12:56] <diskus> kirby145: I don't think office2000 will work if you just copy files to Linux and try to run it with wine
[12:56] <pbureau> nexousNET, did you get the dapper or edgy tarball ?
[12:56] <saxofoner> jrib:   Hm... this is a mysterious problem
[12:56] <Menace_> I just installed ubuntu and i'm having something weird happen, when i scroll a page its really laggy, and its like a scan line renews the page, this is a newly built computer, can anyone help me out with this problem?

[12:57] <kirby145> ok ok i guess ill just ditch the office 2000 thing ill just jack a new one off the internet
[12:57] <saxofoner> GIMP GAP, if you can make it work...
[12:57] <kitche> Menace_: change your video driver it might be set to vesa see if it is
[12:57] <nexousNET> pbureau: not sure, just a zip named wpc54g_v2_driver_utility_v2.0_FILES
[12:57] <nexousNET> I'm going to try a 3rd party app
[12:57] <Menace_> kitche: how can i do this? sorry for my ignorance
[12:57] <Dylnuge> hello, having difficulties loading LiveCD, need to have it installed by tomorrow
[12:58] <kitche> Menace_: look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf see if it has vesa anywhere in it
[12:58] <Roscar> saxofoner: is the GIMP GAP part of GIMP?
[12:58] <saxofoner> gap is part of gap
[12:58] <Menace_> kitche: alright hang on
[12:58] <vox754> Dylnuge: that is probably an issue with BIOS and motherboard.
[12:58] <Dylnuge> I get en error: Buffer I/O failure on device sr0
[12:58] <saxofoner> I've never made it work, it's GIMP Animation Package
[12:58] <pbureau> nexousNET, check the web sites details to see if there is another package for dapper (this could a edgy solution)

[01:01] <Hobbsee> Mez: they're klined - is there any point?

[01:02] <LjL> kitche: not on freenode that i know of
[01:02] <Mez> kitche, no, kline can be global
[01:02] <Dylnuge> this is in loading the LiveCD (and yes, it says sR0, not sd0)
[01:02] <Amaranth> realname, nick, and ident are useless for banning
[01:02] <Hobbsee> kitche: it's global on freenode
[01:02] <kirby145> guys why is one version of ubuntu free to mail and one is not
[01:02] <Amaranth> i thought kline was network, glib was server
[01:02] <Amaranth> err, gline
[01:02] <Mez> Hobbsee, yes, cause the bits other than the host mask will keep them out a little
[01:02] <kitche> LjL: hmm I got klined on accident and was still able to get ont he network
[01:02] <LjL> anyway dear operators, we're offtopic
[01:02] <saxofoner> hmm.. kitche: is there a way to totally remove every trace of something w/o doing it manually?
[01:02] <bruenig> kirby145, one is LTS and one was a 4 month development unstable version

[01:04] <Dylnuge> this channel is crowded, but there are very few posters
[01:04] <kirby145> i have dialup. i was meaning why do they do it for free they dont even charge for the cds or anything
[01:04] <kirby145> or shipping?
[01:04] <bruenig> kirby145, because they can
[01:04] <saxofoner> ...tranlate Ubuntu for me.
[01:04] <kirby145> wow.
[01:04] <jrib> kirby145: it's to help spread ubuntu
[01:04] <saxofoner> then you'll know.
[01:04] <saxofoner> exactly
[01:05] <Dylnuge> Ubuntu is a spirt, a way of life in which people are brotherly to each other and help each other out. Ubuntu Linux follows the spirit of Ubuntu by providing a free source and a powerful community
[01:05] <Dame> peace off bros, linux addicted people gotta sleep too :)

[01:06] <saxofoner> So....
[01:06] <saxofoner> Kitche:  From that guide, can you tell me some easy uninstall trick?
[01:06] <bruenig> sivik, flash or video?
[01:06] <sivik> bruenig, video
[01:06] <sivik> like from myspace or youtube
[01:07] <bruenig> sivik, yeah that is flash
[01:07] <__mikem> The really funny thing is Mudkip is the name of a pokemon
[01:07] <kitche> saxofoner: apt-get remove --purge compiz if you installed it that way I can't go to urls do to using a virtual machine and using irc though the shell
[01:07] <bruenig> sivik, what version of flash do you have? flash 9 is very good
[01:07] <sivik> bruenig, i have no clue what version i have
[01:07] <Menace_> could anyone tell me how to change my video driver accordingly?
[01:07] <saxofoner> okay thanks.
[01:07] <Menace_> its on vesa right now..
[01:07] <kitche> Menace_: what video card do you have
[01:07] <sivik> bruenig, how do i go about figuring out what version i have
[01:07] <Menace_> its integrated nvidia
[01:07] <bruenig> sivik, do apt-cache show flashplugin-nonfree | grep Version
[01:07] <Menace_> ill go find the specs if you need them?
[01:08] <kitche> Menace_: you can sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and pick nv for a video driver
[01:08] <Menace_> ok thanks a lot kitche
[01:08] <olafski> how do I install linux-sources in ubuntu?

[01:09] <kirby145> would ubuntu work on a computer that was runnin windows 95, office 2000, on a celeron processor? im not sure what are the specs of the computer could someone give me a way to look up ones i need
[01:09] <bruenig> sivik, then I assume you must have the 9 version
[01:09] <sivik> bruenig, so whats the issue?

[01:15] <variant> tom__: yes, thats what gparted is for..
[01:15] <variant> tom__: apt-get install gparted
[01:15] <LjL> !flash > Moxxon    (Moxxon, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:15] <tom__> oh, ok
[01:15] <funkja> Is there a Disk Utility in Edgy like there was in Dapper?
[01:15] <yellow> tom__,  be very very careful lol
[01:15] <Moxxon> I have flash
[01:15] <Moxxon> but I need flashplayer
[01:15] <LjL> !mount | funkja, this one? no
[01:15] <ubotu> funkja, this one? no: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[01:16] <cables> linux_kid1, it should work fine. On the target box, go to System>Preferences>Remote Desktop. Set that up however you like.
[01:16] <linux_kid1> cables, ok
[01:16] <LjL> Moxxon: err, the *only* flash that is available for ubuntu is the player. what do you think you have?
[01:16] <Moxxon> I have "Macromedia Flash plugin" is this the same as Flash 9?
[01:16] <sivik> Moxxon, yes
[01:16] <whonicca> question, has anyone been able to get their ubuntu box to play zshare streams
[01:16] <whonicca> wmv format i believe
[01:16] <saxofone1> hey kitche?  you there?
[01:16] <LjL> Moxxon: it is the flash player, i cannot say whether it's version 9 or 7
[01:16] <cables> Moxxon, it may be Flash Player 7.
[01:16] <funkja> !DiskMounter
[01:16] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[01:16] <cables> Moxxon, for 9, download the installer from the Adobe site
[01:16] <kitche> saxofone1: yeah just trying to figure out some javascript stuff lol
[01:16] <saxofone1> I figured out the problem... it was xgl
[01:16] <LjL> cables: no need, it's in backports
[01:16] <LjL> !flash9
[01:16] <ubotu> Flash 9 (Final release) is now available for dapper-backports and edgy-backports. See !backports and !flash
[01:17] <gop> hey what visual basic ide is thier for ubuntu
[01:17] <saxofone1> kitche: haha, how do you disable xgl?
[01:17] <LjL> gop: none
[01:17] <sivik> gop: mono develop
[01:17] <linux_kid1> cables, its xfce, not gnome.  remote desktop isnt appearing in settings.
[01:17] <cables> LjL, really? I checked and didn't see it. Cool, thanks
[01:17] <Moxxon> Oops
[01:17] <mindstate> !backports
[01:17] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[01:17] <cables> linux_kid1, i thought Ubunt was the target box?
[01:17] <kitche> saxofone1: hmm might want ot ask in #ubuntu-effects about that never used xgl myself
[01:17] <whonicca> if so whats the best at doing this, vlc plugin for mozilla, mplayer plugin, or totem plugin
[01:17] <variant> gop: emacs too if you like that
[01:17] <cables> linux_kid1, not sure then... sorry about that.
[01:17] <sivik> whonicca, totem sucks, the other two are fine
[01:17] <gop> like will it have a gui desinger like visual studio
[01:17] <whonicca> at streaming wmv9
[01:18] <sivik> gop: mono develop is very close
[01:18] <sivik> whonicca, either vlc or mplayer
[01:18] <bruenig> whonicca, mplayer plugin
[01:18] <gop> cool
[01:18] <saxofone1> ookkkkayy thanks kitche
[01:18] <bruenig> vlc is awful
[01:18] <whonicca> ok ill try it out
[01:18] <variant> gop: there are gui designers but i dont know one that is specific to vb
[01:18] <linux_kid1> cables, target box being the one i want to control, or the one im controling from?
[01:18] <cables> sivik, doesn't VLC plugin have no scrubber bar? I last tried it on Windows though
[01:18] <whonicca> hopefully it fixes my prob
[01:18] <Moxxon> Aye I have flash 7 and I need 8 or higher so 9 Is what I need
[01:18] <cables> linux_kid1, target box is the one you want to control
[01:18] <variant> bruenig: the interface is not fantastic but its format support pwns
[01:18] <sivik> cables: not sure, wtf is a scrubber bar
[01:18] <Moxxon> Im at the Debian wiki and its telling me how to upgrade
[01:18] <bruenig> variant, I meant as a plugin
[01:18] <LjL> Moxxon: ... debian?
[01:18] <cables> sivik, for dragging to different parts of the media
[01:18] <LjL> Moxxon: ubuntu != debian
[01:18] <linux_kid1> cables, ok, thanks for your help, sorry i want to control the xfce machine
[01:18] <LjL> !backports > Moxxon    (Moxxon, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:19] <variant> bruenig: mplayer-plugins is very good
[01:19] <Moxxon> but it says I need to add a line to my /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:19] <variant> bruenig: mplayer-plugin*
[01:19] <Moxxon> How do I do that?
[01:19] <cables> linux_kid1, see if there's a vnc server built in. It may be the same as the Gnome one.
[01:19] <LjL> Moxxon: what line does it tell you to add? you SHOULD NOT add repositories intended for Debian to your Ubuntu sources.list!
[01:19] <bruenig> Moxxon, are you on dapper?
[01:19] <LjL> Moxxon: read the Backports page instead
[01:19] <sivik> cables: not sure
[01:19] <Moxxon> deb http://www.backports.org/debian sarge-backports main contrib
[01:19] <cables> Moxxon, you looking for Flash?
[01:19] <Moxxon> Thtats what it says to add
[01:19] <kitche> linux_kid1: you have ot install a vnc version in xfce
[01:19] <Moxxon> Yes
[01:19] <LjL> Moxxon: right, doing that is a totally. terrible. idea.
[01:19] <Moxxon> I want to upgrade to flash 9
[01:19] <Moxxon> Ok
[01:20] <variant> LjL: lol
[01:20] <Moxxon> Then how do I do it?
[01:20] <LjL> Moxxon: you'll break your system. use the Ubuntu backports. as i just said. read the page that Ubotu gave you
[01:20] <sivik> Moxxon: the newest version should be available from apt-get in the multiverse repo
[01:20] <Moxxon> kk
[01:20] <Moxxon> Ill take a look at that
[01:20] <sivik> Moxxon, thats how i have it installed
[01:20] <variant> Moxxon: from a google search for ubuntu flash9: http://everythingelse.wordpress.com/2006/10/23/howto-install-flash-9-beta-on-ubuntu-the-easy-way/
[01:20] <bruenig> Moxxon, just open a terminal and do the following, wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/flashplugin-nonfree/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.31~ubuntu1~dapper1_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.31~ubuntu1~dapper1_i386.deb
[01:20] <LjL> Moxxon: DO NOT use Debian packages on Ubuntu, and especially DO NOT use Debian repositories on Ubuntu. do it, and you win a free reinstall.
[01:20] <kboutside> I'm having trouble installing Ubuntu 6.10 i boot from cd and the the options menu comes up i select install or run and it freezes at the splash screen... any suggestions
[01:20] <kitche> sivik: it's in backports unless of course you use feisty lol
[01:20] <linux_kid1> kitche, ok
[01:21] <sivik> kitche: ok, then the backports should already be in the sources.list, you just have to uncomment them
[01:21] <tom47> i have a weird sound problem ... using vlc i am streaming videos from a newspaper and the sound starts silent then comes in in bursts which progressively become more complete until sound is working fine after about have the video
[01:21] <sivik> i though it was multiverse
[01:21] <tom47> have=half*
[01:21] <variant> LjL: is that not a bit of an exageration? does it apply to some small app that installs a bin to /usr/bin and a manpage or two? nothing system changing..
[01:21] <LjL> sivik: backports is there but commented out, multiverse is not there at all (well, it's there in the commented out backports line..)
[01:21] <sivik> LjL: thats what i just said
[01:21] <bruenig> I have a debian repo
[01:22] <LjL> sivik: was confirming.
[01:22] <sivik> bruenig, thats fine
[01:22] <mindstate> is there a ssh gui on ubuntu?
[01:22] <sivik> LjL: ok
[01:22] <cables> Can someone explain to me the difference between flashplayer-mozilla and flashplugin-nonfree?
[01:22] <variant> mindstate: yes, putty
[01:22] <sivik> mindstate: not that i know of
[01:22] <Moxxon> It appears that the latest version for ubuntu backport or w/e is 7 the one I have
[01:22] <Moxxon> :/
[01:22] <bruenig> cables, flashplayer-mozilla doesn't work and flashplugin-nonfree does
[01:22] <variant> Moxxon: you can apt-get install putty
[01:22] <mindstate> variant, isn't putty just another terminal app?
[01:22] <mcphail> mindstate: you can use nautilus
[01:22] <sivik> Moxxon: dapper or edgy?
[01:22] <cables> bruenig, thanks :)
[01:22] <lightcap> Can someone point me to the RSS feed for USN's?
[01:22] <Moxxon> edgy
[01:22] <sivik> variant, theres a putty for ubuntu
[01:22] <lightcap> or is it just the wiki update RSS?
[01:22] <variant> mindstate: no, it's a gui interface to ssh,telnet
[01:22] <LjL> variant, yes it is, however if you don't quite know what you're doing, it's much better to err on the safe side. but anyway, what i'm particularly worried about is the adding of entire *repositories* -- it doesn't matter if you then install "just" one single packages. chances are that you'll find yourself with a newer and "slightly" incompatible version of, say, libc6.
[01:22] <lightcap> I'm not finding it with a google query
[01:22] <variant> sivik: thats what i just said
[01:23] <LjL> variant: and that *does* win you a reinstall...
[01:23] <mindstate> variant, thanks :)
[01:23] <bruenig> Moxxon, copy and paste everything after this colon into terminal: wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/flashplugin-nonfree/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.31~ubuntu1~edgy1_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.31~ubuntu1~edgy1_i386.deb
[01:23] <Moxxon> variant, how do I apt-get putty?
[01:23] <sivik> you just said: variant> Moxxon: you can apt-get install putt
[01:23] <variant> LjL: yeah, well said
[01:23] <variant> sivik: yes, and?
[01:23] <bruenig> Oh wait, he is asking something else now
[01:23] <variant> Moxxon: by typeing sudo apt-get install putty
[01:23] <sivik> variant, ok, just misread
[01:23] <comicinker> hi
[01:24] <bruenig> !hi | comicinker
[01:24] <ubotu> comicinker: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:24] <gop> k what graphical ide for c++ is thier in ubunjta
[01:24] <variant> Moxxon: it's really pointless.. why do you need an ssh gui???
[01:24] <tom47> using vlc - streaming newspaper video - starts silent; then comes in in bursts; progressively becomes complete until sound is working fine after about have the video
[01:24] <Moxxon> Thanks bruenig and variant!
[01:24] <bruenig> !info anjuta

[01:24] <variant> gop: use google
[01:24] <Moxxon> To run a website
[01:24] <sivik> is there a teamspeak in a repo somewhere
[01:24] <gop> hmm anujta seems buggy
[01:24] <variant> Moxxon: that doesn't make sence..
[01:24] <comicinker> nice welcome!...I want to remove the link to a linked directory
[01:24] <gop> k bye
[01:25] <sivik> !teamspeak
[01:25] <Moxxon> variant, why not?>
[01:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about teamspeak - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:25] <kitche> sivik: not that I know of need to get it from their website
[01:25] <variant> Moxxon: in a terminal type ssh user@host
[01:25] <mindstate> variant, thanks putty was exactly wut i wanted
[01:25] <bruenig> comicinker, the link is a symbolic link?
[01:25] <comicinker> is rm-d direcotry the correct thing to do?
[01:25] <variant> Moxxon: or scp user@host:/file user@host2:/file
[01:25] <comicinker> I think so. I made it with ln .. ...
[01:25] <variant> Moxxon: np
[01:26] <Moxxon> Thy didnt work
[01:26] <variant> mindstate: np
[01:26] <Moxxon> It said ssh:host: Name or service not known
[01:26] <lightcap> it can't be that theres *only* a mailing list for updates on USN's?
[01:26] <bruenig> comicinker, was it ln -s?
[01:26] <sivik> kitche: ok, i already installed it, but i can't run from the run command line, i have to change to the /opt/Teamspeak folder and run it from the konsole, i need to figure out how to do it from run command
[01:26] <Moxxon> The other said bash:user@host: command not found
[01:26] <cables> On that note, if I have a link that I made with Nautilus, will deleting the link delete the folder?
[01:26] <jrib> cables: no (it shouldn't)
[01:26] <bruenig> cables, no
[01:26] <kitche> sivik: add /opt/TeamSpeak to your PATH
[01:26] <comicinker> Idon't know anymore. Can I check it afterwards?
[01:26] <variant> Moxxon: replace user@host with the name of the user your ssh'ing as and host iwth the hostname your connecting to
[01:26] <bruenig> sivik, or you can just put a symlink in /usr/bin
[01:27] <Moxxon> variant, how do I know those?
[01:27] <sivik> i have to figure out how to do that
[01:27] <Moxxon> ohh
[01:27] <Moxxon> like the name@computername
[01:27] <comicinker> brueningm you mean sivik?
[01:27] <variant> Moxxon: how do you intend to use putty if you don't know any username or host? you don't even know why you want an ssh gui?
[01:27] <bruenig> sivik, what is the path to the thing you are running /opt/Teamspeak/what
[01:27] <ben_> hey guyz
[01:27] <Moxxon> Variant, I just want to run a website
[01:27] <variant> Moxxon: why did you ask for an ssh gui in the first place?
[01:27] <Moxxon> Variant, I never did
[01:27] <ben_> i'm lagging a whole lot in counter strike 1.6
[01:27] <Moxxon> When Didd I ask for that
[01:28] <ben_> and with windows i don't lag
[01:28] <Moxxon> I dont know what it is
[01:28] <sivik> /opt/TeamSpeak2RC2/TeamSpeak
[01:28] <Moxxon> I just asked how to update flash
[01:28] <Moxxon> :p
[01:28] <ben_> GUYZ
[01:28] <variant> Moxxon: ahh, lol sorry, i was typeing to you by mistake
[01:28] <bruenig> sivik, ok do sudo ln -s /opt/Teamspeak2RC2/Teamspeak /usr/bin/teamspeak
[01:28] <Moxxon> Np
[01:28] <ben_> coutner strike 1.6 is lagging
[01:28] <ben_> ALOT
[01:28] <bruenig> sivik, then you should be able to start it by running "teamspeak"
[01:28] <variant> ben_: see #winehq
[01:28] <comicinker> bruenig: so what does rm -d actually do? delete files? or removes a link?
[01:28] <nexousNET> Hi, anyone firmiliar with GTKwifi?
[01:28] <sivik> nope
[01:29] <ben_> i'm abnned from there....

[01:29] <sivik> ben_: why, do you ask stupid questions?
[01:29] <bruenig> comicinker, I would just rm it myself

[01:30] <sivik> bruenig, i'm trying to see
[01:30] <ubotu> chable: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto

[01:33] <levander> Is there any lighter weight app that I can substitue for evolution when I click on a date in the calendar under gnome?
[01:33] <Moxxon> Hey, Im trying to install my ATI driver and it says to make sure fglrx is not disabled and to run a script to open the file and one of the lines in the text body is: DISABLED_MODULES="ath_hal fc fglrx ltm nv" does that mean fglrx is disabled?
[01:34] <Moxxon> Anyone know?>
[01:34] <tom47> !sound
[01:34] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[01:34] <diskus> Moxxon: that means that ubuntu will not use build in fglrx
[01:34] <ubuntu>  when installing ubuntu it askes me to "Resize IDE1 master, partition #1 (hda1) and use freed space" and then at the bottom there is a slider that says "New Partition Size" is it refering to the master partiton i am resizing or thr new partition im installing ubuntu on?
[01:34] <Moxxon> diskus, so is that bad?
[01:34] <At0mic_PC> Anyone have experience importing the abook.mab file into evolution?
[01:34] <Moxxon> All I want to do is run wow
[01:35] <diskus> Moxxon: well it depends
[01:35] <bruenig> ubuntu, new partition you are installing ubuntu on
[01:35] <diskus> Moxxon: if you install drivers from ati.com then you should disable
[01:35] <Moxxon> Im using the walkthrugh on the ubuntu site
[01:35] <bruenig> ubuntu, I would do manually edit just to be certain
[01:35] <Moxxon> and it says to "make sure fglrx is not disabled"
[01:35] <Moxxon> " Make sure fglrx is not disabled: sudogedit/etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common"
[01:36] <diskus> Moxxon: then yes, remove fglrx from DISABLED_MODULES
[01:36] <Moxxon> diskus, do I do that by simply removing the last text line
[01:36] <Moxxon> # DISABLED_MODULES="ath_hal fc fglrx ltm nv"
[01:36] <Moxxon> do I just delete that?
[01:36] <diskus> Moxxon: that # makes it commented out
[01:36] <diskus> Moxxon: it's not used
[01:36] <ZmasteR> ok someone can try and tell me the answer to this,,,im using ubuntu,,,which uses gnome right? well there is a program i want to use but it uses KDE, is there a way i can install the KDE environment whilest keeping gnome and be able to switch between them at login??
[01:36] <diskus> Moxxon: there should be DISABLED_MODULES without # bellow
[01:37] <ubuntu> can i get a second opnion on that? dont want to ruin my partition
[01:37] <Moxxon> DISABLED_MODULES=""
[01:37] <Moxxon> Thats all it says
[01:37] <bruenig> ubuntu, just go to manually edit
[01:37] <Moxxon> without the #
[01:37] <Me> can anyone tell me how to use Synaptic to upgrade to the newest distro of Ubuntu? i'm using Breezy Badger
[01:37] <Moxxon> so am I ok?
[01:37] <kitche> ZmasteR: yep just install kde or kubuntu-desktop
[01:37] <diskus> Moxxon: it's enabled then
[01:37] <Moxxon> kk thanks a lot
[01:37] <bruenig> Me, it is probably best to fresh install, because you will have to upgrade to dapper, and then again to edgy which will cause almost certain breakage and headaches
[01:38] <diskus> Moxxon: but ati is bitch to use with Linux, I never actualy got my old radeon 9600 pro to work properly
[01:38] <ZmasteR> kitche: i can just switch between desktops then right?
[01:38] <kitche> ZmasteR: yes
[01:38] <Me> dare I ask why?
[01:38] <erisco> anyone know any stick figure animation programs like pivot?
[01:38] <ZmasteR> kitche: thx
[01:38] <sivik> bruenig, i made the link, but it still doesn't work with the run command in the menu
[01:39] <bruenig> sivik, you are certain that /opt/Teamspeak2rblah/Teamspeak is the exact command you used to launch teamspeak
[01:39] <bruenig> or is that just the directory with the executable in it
[01:39] <chrisjs169> I'm not getting any sound....any ideas?
[01:39] <sheldonc> my kubuntu install is being difficult. it is saying that it doesnt know how to talk to my cdrom?
[01:41] <imanoob> I have a quick question: I am currently running of the Edgy LiveCD, and my wireless card works great.  However, when I run my installed copy of Edgy, my wireless card is detected in device manager but does not appear in System..Admin..Networking
[01:41] <cricri> how do you mount a memory card
[01:41] <makuseru>  when installing ubuntu it askes me to "Resize IDE1 master, partition #1 (hda1) and use freed space" and then at the bottom there is a slider that says "New Partition Size" is it refering to the master partiton i am resizing or thr new partition im installing ubuntu on?
[01:42] <bruenig> makuseru, use the manual partition, the wording is ambiguous
[01:42] <chrisjs169> I'm not getting any sound....any ideas?
[01:42] <bruenig> it could mean new partition or it could mean old partitions new size
[01:42] <cricri> alsaconfig chrisjs169
[01:42] <bruenig> very simple, click that circle on the bottom fixes it all
[01:42] <kirby145_> crap my old computer only has 62 mb ram

[01:43] <kirby145_> like a windows 95 ubuntu
[01:43] <bruenig> kirby145, damn small might run on it. Xubuntu could too probably but even that would be a stretch
[01:43] <chrisjs169> ok
[01:44] <kitche> kirby145_: slackware might it runs on 64 megs
[01:44] <kirby145_> xubuntu says no

[01:45] <antibody>  hi all I'm having problems..I have a swap on /dev/sda1/UUID=75b64ee7-06a6-4327-95e5-15964905af4e however I have this line in /etc/fstab :
[01:46] <cricri> alsamixer is used once you have a working snd card
[01:46] <antibody>  if I swapon /dev/sda1 it works if I do swapon UUID=75b64ee7-06a6-4327-95e5-15964905af4e it doesn't
[01:46] <bruenig> makuseru, I don't know. I get tired of graphical problems
[01:46] <wietze> could anyone give me a quick few pointers how to enable my ubuntu install to be able to actually compile stuff myself :) ?
[01:46] <chrisjs169> afaik the card works, on windows it does anyway, just not on Ubuntu
[01:46] <bruenig> makuseru, I told you that new partition size meant the new partition you were making
[01:46] <imanoob> pbureau, I am using a d-link airplus G DWL-G510
[01:46] <wietze> Im not familiar with the whole apt-get stuff :(, and I seemt o be lacking (but not limited to) glib-cofnig
[01:46] <bruenig> I have seen that nomenclature before and it always refers to the new thing you created
[01:47] <chrisjs169> cricri - the volume is all the way up as well
[01:47] <pbureau> imanoob, and it worked when you started livecd you say ?
[01:47] <siikah> wietze: not sure, but can't you just switch to console and play along? ctrl+alt+f1-6
[01:47] <bruenig> wietze, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[01:47] <imanoob> im on livecd now, using it to connect to this chat
[01:47] <imanoob> pbureau, im on livecd now, using it to connect to this chat
[01:47] <cricri> the card might actually be functional but some device needs to be on and some off in alsamixer assuming you use alsa
[01:48] <wietze> bruenig: cheerio
[01:48] <jonw_> !pastebin
[01:48] <MrSatanic> Anybody know where I can find a list of #channels
[01:48] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[01:48] <pbureau> imanoob, interesting, so open a terminal window , (applications/accesories)  and type lspci there should be a notation about your wifi card there can you copy and paste just that line back to me please
[01:48] <wietze> bruenig: and even then, it says its up to date
[01:48] <imanoob> ok
[01:48] <pbureau> MrSatanic,  /list
[01:48] <bruenig> wietze, what?
[01:48] <chable> i did what ubotu said
[01:48] <imanoob> 01:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5005G 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)
[01:48] <chable> and i still cant boot ubuntu
[01:49] <chable> it automatically boots windows
[01:49] <MrSatanic> Thanks PB
[01:49] <pbureau> imanoob, ah same card I use.
[01:49] <wietze> bruenig: well, Im trying to get some stuff compiled, e.g. own kernel, and some stuff thats not incoperated in apt-get packages; but the ubuntu install lacks some stuff, like glib-config; I'd like to have that installed
[01:49] <chrisjs169> cricri - i do you alsa, but the card listed in alsamixer isn't the one that i'm using
[01:49] <chrisjs169> *use
[01:49] <imanoob> pbureau, now, i am using a grub boot cd to run my ubuntu, which is installed on a usb drive
[01:49] <LjL> !find glib-config | wietze
[01:49] <ubotu> wietze: File glib-config found in libglib1.2-dev, libtag1-dev
[01:49] <imanoob> pbureau, the cd has its own kernel to boot with usb drivers
[01:49] <bruenig> wietze, what was the bit about "it says its up to date"
[01:50] <pbureau> imanoob, you will nee to goto system - administration - synaptic, do a search for ndiswrapper and -utils for it, and basically install that, and use the WINDOWS drivers on the cdrom that came with the card
[01:50] <wietze> bruenig: the result of apt-get install build-essentials
[01:50] <imanoob> ok, i was hoping to avoid ndiswrapper
[01:50] <imanoob> pbureau, do you use ndiswrapper?
[01:50] <cricri> then you need to tell alsamixer to use the card you want to use but i have no idea how to go about it
[01:50] <pbureau> imanoob, I havent found a way to get mine to work woithout it... yep using it right now.. works like a charm
[01:50] <bruenig> wietze, right but what was your point?
[01:50] <wietze> ubotu: you're telling me that cd / && find glib-config will yield me results ?
[01:50] <imanoob> pbureau, so weird that the livecd works fine
[01:50] <cricri> there is a sound card specialist in channel #lfd on freenod
[01:51] <At0mic_PC> How do you make abook.mab into a csv file?
[01:51] <bruenig> wietze, it is telling you to do sudo apt-get install libglib1.2-dev
[01:51] <wietze> oh its a bot
[01:51] <pbureau> imanoob, try typing, lshw -class network, look under the network card what driver it is use (driver=)
[01:51] <wietze> sorry, I didnt get that :)
[01:51] <imanoob> ok
[01:51] <jonw_> I keep getting the stupid ... error opening security policy file /usr/lib/xserver/SecurityPolicy .... when I start x ... what should I do please ?
[01:51] <wietze> state of the art technology, top of my hat!
[01:52] <chrisjs169> cricri - ok
[01:52] <imanoob> driver = ath_pci
[01:52] <grndslm> why is my processor's MHz rating comin' up short when i cat /proc/cpuinfo?  i know it is much faster than what it displays!
[01:52] <imanoob> if i pack that into my boot kernel, you think it will work?
[01:52] <musya> is codeblocks not available for ubunut?

[01:52] <Exabyte34> hello, i have 2x100GB hds that i guess are in a RAID 0 setup (on my sony ar series laptop)- can anyone help me try to make a partition for abuntu, it doesn't seem to recognize the RAID configuration
[01:52] <pbureau> imanoob, inetresting I never got it to work with that driver, maybe you can try to do a modprobe ath_pci and see how it links it up to the network card on lshw and iwconfig
[01:52] <olafski> grndslm: maybe it downclocked itself cause it's not busy
[01:53] <pbureau> imanoob, but only do that when you reboot your box to the HDD
[01:53] <grndslm> olafski:  i know it's busy....and it always says that when i cat that file
[01:53] <imanoob> pbureau, ok, right now when i do that it returns nothing
[01:53] <pbureau> imanoob, no it would not.
[01:54] <olafski> grndslm: hm well then I have no idea, it did this for me though
[01:54] <pbureau> imanoob, try it when booting from HDD
[01:54] <musya> Exabyte34: what does it say, when it reads your HDD?
[01:54] <imanoob> pbureau, do you think adding the ath_pci to my initramfs/modules will work?
[01:54] <pbureau> you know what to look for boot up fo lshw -class network look at the driver= line see if it usig the ath_pci one, probably it has nothing
[01:55] <Exabyte34> musya: I'm running Ubuntu off the disc now, when i go into the install and it gives me the option to partition, it shows /dev/sda and /dev/sdb but it says they're both unallocated - but there's a windows partition that takes up like 2/3 of the total 200gigs
[01:55] <imanoob> pbureau, right, i will check the lshw from the hdd, be back in a bit
[01:55] <pbureau> imanoob, I dont know...  but try modprobe ath_pci see if it attaches it to the ra0 in iwconfig
[01:55] <GMWeezel> When will the kernel upgrade be released for Ubuntu?
[01:56] <musya> Exabyte34: are you wanting to erase the windows partition?
[01:56] <grndslm> anything better than ktorrent that's more gnome-friendly??
[01:56] <imanoob> pbureau, first, im going to try adding ath_pci to my modules since i need to make a new boot CD anyway
[01:56] <Exabyte34> musya: no i want to keep the windows partition and set aside like 20gigs for ubuntu til i get an external hd
[01:57] <Moxxon> Hey
[01:57] <Moxxon> Im having problems with my ati graphics driver
[01:57] <slvmchn> small annoying bug i think... i upgraded from dapper to edgy, but now if i click and drag any of my quick launch buttons up top of the screen, they lose their icon
[01:57] <Moxxon> I was using the step guide on ubuntu
[01:57] <kitche> GMWeezel: feisty
[01:57] <Moxxon> Then it says touse the fglrxinfo command
[01:57] <GMWeezel> kitche: so the 2.x.20 Kernel upgrade won't be released for Dapper?
[01:57] <Moxxon> to make sure the driver is working
[01:57] <makuseru>  what happens when your resizing a partition and it gets stuck on 0%?
[01:57] <Moxxon> I get
[01:57] <Myk0> ok guys heres the problem: using powerbook g4, 1.33ghz... PPC architecture... tried the following, 6.10 desktop ppc, 6.10 alternate , 6.06 dapper, all lead to one issue. Reboot the comp and it seems to be loading the disk then freezes to a white screen. Reset the nvram, Reset the PRAM, any ideas at all cant seem to figure this one out?????

[01:58] <cpsalvestrini> Hi all
[01:58] <cpsalvestrini> ive got a question
[01:58] <cpsalvestrini> i would like to create a script to change cpu governors on the fly
[01:58] <Me> incidentally, is there any list of the various Ubuntu software repositories?
[01:59] <Myk0> anyone using an apple powerbook or ibook??
[01:59] <musya> Exabyte34: i dont think windows will allow you to do that. i think you need to install ubuntu first then windows but i could be wrong, all the past experiences ive had i needed to install ubuntu first. but check in #linuxhelp
[01:59] <blimpdude> hi. is there a special keyboard layout for macintosh keyboards that i can use in X?
[01:59] <jonw_> ok, so it's not related to securitypolicy, anyone got a sec to look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4357/ and advise me please ?
[01:59] <Myk0> any specific PPC support channel?? or is this it?
[01:59] <Moxxon> Hello, Ive been trying to install an ATI driver using the step walkthrough on the ubuntu site. But I have hit a snag, near the end it says to run the "fglrxinfo" command to make sure everything is working, your supposed to get information about your card but I get a generic message: $ fglrxinfo  display: :0.0  screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect OpenGL version string: 1
[01:59] <cpsalvestrini> this is mainly to use my ubuntu box with performance settings while it is on power, and with dynamic settings while it's on battery
[01:59] <bretzel> Hi there, Is there a FTP client ( SSL ) like WinXP: FlashXP ?
[02:00] <tat> bretzel: gftp, I think
[02:00] <cpsalvestrini> or is it possible to do it via a software package? like kpowersave?
[02:00] <bretzel> tat: Yop My first thought was Gftp ... but I read gftp is a bit buggy ?
[02:01] <Exabyte34> musya: it's strange though, if select to manually pick the partitions then it recognizes the primary ext3 partition, but doesn't recognize the swap logical partition.. it thinks it's a primary and labels it as 1kb
[02:01] <tat> bretzel: I'm not sure, dont use it myself.
[02:01] <musya> bretzel: or command line
[02:01] <Myk0> Can anyone help with  PPC issues on livecd?
[02:01] <nexousNET> Hi, anyone firmiliar with GTKwifi on 6.06?
[02:01] <transgress> okay i was running suse on my laptop and had xgl+beryl running perfect on there... but now i can't get xgl, beryl, or compiz to run properly

[02:02] <musya> yea that might be windows, is the drive partitioned already?
[02:02] <grndslm> is there anything out there that's better than ktorrent AND more gnome-friendly??
[02:02] <tat> bretzel: lftp is a nice command line client
[02:02] <bretzel> sftp ...
[02:02] <transgress> could it be the version of nvidia driver i am using?  i have an older nvidia card so it can't use the builtin aiglx
[02:02] <deafboy> anyone know how to execute an .sql file via command line?
[02:02] <|Jason8|> Is it common for an application to just randomly close in Ubuntu without warning.  I'll be using Firefox or Xchat or Gaim, and if one of them gets too active (15 tabs open in FF, 4 servers on xchat, etc) it will just close without warning.  No little dialogs or anything.
[02:02] <cpsalvestrini> grndslm: try azureus, but you got to have java installed
[02:02] <grndslm> piss on java
[02:02] <musya> deafboy: what do you mean by execute?
[02:02] <chrisjs169> cricri - i was bounced back here, as they didn't know how to change it either
[02:02] <musya> grndslm: why you say that?
[02:03] <chrisjs169> should i just change the jack?
[02:03] <grndslm> i've never seen java run well

[02:03] <LiENUS> how can i have different wallpapers on each face of the cube in beryl?
[02:03] <cpsalvestrini> grndslm: azureus is quite good, and java runtime 6 is actually pretty fast & stable
[02:03] <chrisjs169> ok
[02:04] <grndslm> ktorrent's not necessarily lite either tho
[02:04] <cafuego_> grndslm: runs fine on my old amd64
[02:04] <musya> yea java is a bit slow even after compiled, id say python or c++
[02:04] <relbs> is it possible to get a list of packages, sorted by the amount of disk space used?
[02:04] <musya> or ruby
[02:04] <grndslm> i keep java installed, but try not to use it...i will try azureus once more

[02:05] <HP_Vue> Hey, I already have ubuntu installed, and I want to install Kubuntu, but what will happen at startup? Will there be 2 GRUB's, will Kubuntu be on the OS selector list? what will happen?
[02:05] <blimpdude> all fixed... it was a driver problem
[02:05] <root> anyone know how to remove ssh from a server through apt-get?
[02:06] <musya> HP_Vue: you just install kde
[02:06] <|Jason8|> cafuego, I'd love to have that thing :p  I'm running an AMD K6-2 450 MHz
[02:06] <musya> no need for another install of OS
[02:06] <grndslm> LiENUS...well, you should have the feature there....i actually just removed beryl because it's not too compatible with mythtv
[02:06] <n2diy> I installed Sunbird, but I have to run it from the command line, is there a way to set it up in my applications menu?
[02:06] <cafuego_> root: yes. Are you *absolutely* *sure* you want to do that?
[02:06] <LiENUS> grndslm,  where?
[02:06] <HP_Vue> musya, No need, it comes already installed
[02:06] <HP_Vue> on the CD
[02:06] <root> yes, need to reinstall it so it can remake the keys
[02:06] <cafuego_> |Jason8|: I'm not saying it's slow, just old ;-)
[02:06] <grndslm> ehh...don't remember, look around, the interface is pretty easy to follow nowadays
[02:06] <blimpdude> yaay
[02:06] <musya> so just use kde instead of gnome
[02:06] <LiENUS> look around where?
[02:06] <LiENUS> in gnome?
[02:06] <musya> on startup chose kde
[02:06] <LiENUS> in beryl?
[02:06] <Myk0> anyone help out install on PPC issues
[02:06] <cafuego_> |Jason8|: That said, I also run an K6-2/450 somewhere... and a P2/300 ...
[02:07] <grndslm> LiENUS:  beryl-manager
[02:07] <HP_Vue> musya, kubuntu already uses KDE
[02:07] <musya> HP_Vue: so whats your problem?
[02:07] <LiENUS> why would it be in beryl-manager since gnome manages the wallpaper?
[02:07] <covert> Can anyone help me w/ a beryl error?
[02:07] <LiENUS> covert,  what error?
[02:07] <grndslm> LiENUS:  because gnome doesn't normally handle 4 wallpapers
[02:07] <root> cafuego_, yes i need to reinstall ssh, so i need to know the apt-get command to remove it so it can remake the pub keys
[02:07] <HP_Vue> e> Hey, I already have ubuntu installed, and I want to install Kubuntu, but what will happen at startup? Will there be 2 GRUB's, will Kubuntu be on the OS selector list? what will happen?
[02:07] <LiENUS> grndslm,  gnome normally handles 4 desktops
[02:07] <HP_Vue> thats it
[02:08] <HP_Vue> Kubuntu uses GRUB, and so does Ubuntu
[02:08] <covert>  Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[02:08] <grndslm> LiENUS:  why not look in beryl-manager
[02:08] <HP_Vue> It will contridict
[02:08] <grndslm> it's not a feature of gnome, i promise
[02:08] <LiENUS> grndslm, becaus ei have
[02:08] <|Jason8|> Is it common for an application to just randomly close in Ubuntu without warning.  I'll be using Firefox or Xchat or Gaim, and if one of them gets too active (15 tabs open in FF, 4 servers on xchat, etc) it will just close without warning.  No little dialogs or anything.
[02:08] <whonicca> why not  just install kubuntu-desktop
[02:08] <whonicca> so u can have both
[02:08] <HP_Vue> how
[02:08] <jrib> |Jason8|: no
[02:08] <covert> I have an ATI card and I just restored the default xorg.conf.  I get this error:  Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[02:08] <musya> HP_Vue: ubuntu and kubuntu are the same OS, one uses gnome one uses kde, so if you have ubuntu installed, just install kubuntu-desktop
[02:08] <LiENUS> and i see nothing in beryl-manager
[02:08] <root> anyone know how to remove SSH through apt-get via terminal?
[02:09] <whonicca> sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[02:09] <HP_Vue> musya, How?
[02:09] <LiENUS> covert, whats your setup
[02:09] <grndslm> LiENUS:  well, you're not looking in the right place or don't have the right version, 1 of the 2
[02:09] <|Jason8|> hrm.
[02:09] <LiENUS> grndslm, if i update to the svn version theres a wallpaper plugin but it requires killing gnome
[02:09] <HP_Vue> musya, is it easy?
[02:09] <|Jason8|> Any idea as to what the random closing would be caused by?
[02:09] <musya> HP_Vue: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[02:09] <musya> very
[02:09] <HP_Vue> Link?
[02:09] <covert> LiENUS: what do you mean by setup?
[02:09] <Myk0> sorry to respam this again :(
[02:09] <Myk0> ok guys heres the problem: using powerbook g4, 1.33ghz... PPC architecture... tried the following, 6.10 desktop ppc, 6.10 alternate , 6.06 dapper, all lead to one issue. Reboot the comp and it seems to be loading the disk then freezes to a white screen. Reset the nvram, Reset the PRAM, any ideas at all cant seem to figure this one out?????
[02:09] <LiENUS> aiglx? xgl? ati? nvidia? propriatary drivers? open source drivers?
[02:09] <musya> HP_Vue: no its a command linke argument
[02:09] <jrib> |Jason8|: run the applications in a terminal, wait for them to crash, and see if there is any meaningufl output
[02:10] <musya> HP_Vue: go to teminal
[02:10] <musya> open a terminal
[02:10] <HP_Vue> musya, wiat 1 sec pls
[02:10] <n2diy> I installed Sunbird, but I have to run it from the command line, is there a way to set it up in my applications menu?
[02:10] <covert> LiENUS: ATI card w/ fglrx
[02:10] <root> someone know the command to remove SSH through apt-get using terminal?
[02:10] <LiENUS> depends how you installed sunbird
[02:10] <HP_Vue> musya, I am on winodws now, but I will switch in 1 sec, all I have to do is type in 1 command line, and I will have KDE on my ubuntu?
[02:11] <LiENUS> n2diy, are you trying to use aiglx or xgl?
[02:11] <musya> root: use in terminal this, apt-get remove package
[02:11] <grndslm> root:  apt-get purge openssh-server
[02:11] <root> thank you grndslm
[02:11] <HP_Vue> wait
[02:11] <n2diy> LiENUS: neither, I think your replying to the wrong nick?
[02:11] <LiENUS> sorry
[02:11] <HP_Vue> i will be right back
[02:11] <musya> HP_Vue: in command line you will get this
[02:12] <LiENUS> covert,  are you using aiglx or xgl
[02:12] <HP_Vue> yea...
[02:12] <LiENUS> n2diy,  how did you install sunbird?
[02:12] <cpsalvestrini> HP_Vue... well, not really one package, you'll download a big amount of packages with the kubuntu-desktop package
[02:12] <musya> apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[02:12] <covert> LiENUS: neither fglrx
[02:12] <musya> then it will as you some yes and no, hit yes
[02:12] <n2diy> LiENUS: IIRC, with synaptic.
[02:12] <musya> and then it will download and install by itself,
[02:12] <covert> LiENUS: Which should I use?
[02:12] <musya> its a big gfile
[02:12] <HP_Vue> ok, thanks I will be right back if you don't mind
[02:12] <LiENUS> n2diy,  hmm it should have made an icon i thought...
[02:12] <musya> file*
[02:12] <HP_Vue> I need to switch OS's
[02:12] <LiENUS> covert, you have to use xgl
[02:12] <musya> to run it go to
[02:12] <musya> kde on your login
[02:13] <LiENUS> http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index.php/Install/Ubuntu/Edgy/XGL
[02:13] <LiENUS> covert,  http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index.php/Install/Ubuntu/Edgy/XGL
[02:13] <tom__> if i have a 10 gb partition and 70 free how can i combine the two?
[02:13] <n2diy> LiENUS: Hmm, maybe it did, but I'd rather have an entry in the apps menu than an Icon on the desktop.
[02:13] <whonicca> so when new ubuntu releases come out, how do u upgrade
[02:13] <covert> LiENUS: I'm using Feisty
[02:13] <jrib> !upgrade | whonicca
[02:13] <ubotu> whonicca: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[02:13] <LiENUS> covert,  you still have to use xgl
[02:13] <musya> whonicca: install a new one
[02:14] <n2diy> LiENUS: nope, no icon on the desktop either.
[02:14] <covert> LiENUS: I checked Synaptic...its already installed.  What do I do?
[02:14] <LiENUS> covert,  http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index.php/Install/Ubuntu/Edgy/XGL
[02:14] <transgress> yeah that guide didn't work for me at all
[02:14] <transgress> granted i think it has to do with the version of nvidia driver
[02:15] <LiENUS> covert,  quit asking the same question and expecting a different answer
[02:15] <LiENUS> covert,  follow the guide, theres no guide for xgl on feisty fawn, so follow the one for edgy
[02:15] <covert> k
[02:15] <LiENUS> either that or ditch fglrx, go back to "radeon" and use aiglx
[02:15] <seax> hello all !
[02:16] <ardchoille> covert, Shouldn't you be asking in #ubuntu+q or #ubuntu-xgl ?
[02:16] <covert> I have no idea...I'm a noob :P
[02:16] <seax> someone could help for nvidia drivers ?
[02:16] <ardchoille> covert,  #ubuntu+1 is for feisty users and #ubuntu-xgl is for Compiz/Beryl users.
[02:16] <DoUWantMeToStop> Mm
[02:16] <DoUWantMeToStop> Try again :|
[02:16] <covert> thnx
[02:16] <jrib> covert: why are you running feisty if you're a noob?
[02:17] <ardchoille> jrib, You caught that too?
[02:17] <covert> I'm switching from Fedora
[02:17] <LiENUS> how is he running feisty if hes a newb?
[02:17] <ardchoille> covert, You might be better off on Dapper or Edgy
[02:17] <jrib> covert: you should use a stable release
[02:17] <LiENUS> i dont even know where the heck to download a feisty iso
[02:17] <CompEngRH> use edgy
[02:18] <HP_Vue> musya, what do I have to do again, and is it just that easy to get Gnome back?
[02:18] <Myk0> ok guys heres the problem: using powerbook g4, 1.33ghz... PPC architecture... tried the following, 6.10 desktop ppc, 6.10 alternate , 6.06 dapper, all lead to one issue. Reboot the comp and it seems to be loading the disk then freezes to a white screen. Reset the nvram, Reset the PRAM, any ideas at all cant seem to figure this one out?????
[02:18] <seax> ^^
[02:19] <transgress> when i start Xgl stuff is really messed up looking... the menu doesn't work right... it leaves a trail, my gtk theme is ignored, and it is overall unusable... any tips?
[02:19] <LiENUS> how does a newb manage to run feisty?
[02:19] <ardchoille> seax, What's your problem with nvidia?
[02:19] <HP_Vue> How do I get Kubuntu-desktop?
[02:19] <LiENUS> transgress, what video card?
[02:19] <variant> does anyone know how to set grub to load the atyfb frame buffer module instead of vesafb ?
[02:19] <transgress> LiENUS: an nvidia 64meg Go card or something like that
[02:19] <cpsalvestrini> HP_Vue: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[02:19] <ian_> When I open the internet browser in ubuntu all I get is the ubuntu welcome screen and no way to get rid of it! how do i remove it?
[02:19] <chavo> feisty seems pretty stable to me so far
[02:19] <LiENUS> transgress, use aiglx not xgl
[02:19] <ardchoille> HP_Vue, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[02:19] <nexousNET> Is there a way to plug a ethernet from my windows desktop to my ubuntu notebook and get internet on my notebook?
[02:19] <seax> i can notr install the drivers. I downloaded the RUN file, but a the reboot, the X server crashs down !
[02:20] <musya> HP_Vue: can you chat in another window?
[02:20] <variant> nexousNET: you need to enable NAT on the windows box
[02:20] <LittleMan> Someone help me

[02:21] <gaten> anyone know if the vnc server that comes with ubuntu (remote desktop) supports file transfer? i can't get it to work w. ultravnc client, but i think the server needs to be Ultra too.
[02:21] <n2diy> I installed Sunbird, but I have to run it from the command line, is there a way to set it up in my applications menu?
[02:21] <seax> ok thx alot ardchoille
[02:21] <LiENUS> transgress,  well nvidia requires aiglx i thought...
[02:21] <drx> GPARTED won't let me delete a partition during install & shows a lock -- what do I do?
[02:21] <musya> HP_Vue: ya
[02:21] <xtknight> can anyone recommend a cheap DVB (ATSC) tuner that works with linux?
[02:21] <transgress> LiENUS: no.  i had xgl+beryl running fine in suse
[02:21] <HP_Vue> musya: I just sent you a PM
[02:21] <ardchoille> n2diy, What I did was make a new menu item and use the entire path in the command, use the path to the sunbird file that needs to be run.
[02:21] <musya> HP_Vue: i cant do pm in irc,
[02:22] <HP_Vue> hmm
[02:22] <musya> you have hotmail or anything?
[02:22] <khaije1> hi
[02:22] <musya> yahoo
[02:22] <musya> gmail
[02:22] <grndslm> why is my processor's MHz rating comin' up short when i cat /proc/cpuinfo?  i know it is much faster than what it displays!
[02:22] <khaije1> i'm looking for a good proxy prugin for firefox, any suggestions?
[02:22] <khaije1> *plugin
[02:22] <n2diy> ardchoille: ok, so that would probably be in /bin right?
[02:22] <seax> see ya!
[02:22] <superdave888> is there any danger in installing XAMPP after installing Ubuntu Server with LAMP option?
[02:22] <HP_Vue> musya: /j #HPVUE
[02:22] <ardchoille> n2diy, It would be wherever you unpacked Sunbird.
[02:22] <musya> HP_Vue:what?
[02:23] <HP_Vue> the channel
[02:23] <HP_Vue> join pls
[02:23] <HP_Vue> #HPVUE
[02:23] <ardchoille> n2diy, How did you install Sunbird?
[02:23] <HP_Vue> It like a PM
[02:23] <n2diy> ardchoille: I don't think I unpacked it, I think I installed it with synaptic.
[02:23] <Myk0> any PPC users here?
[02:23] <ardchoille> !info sunbird
[02:23] <ubotu> Package sunbird does not exist in edgy, edgy-seveas
[02:23] <ardchoille> !info sunbird dapper
[02:23] <ubotu> Package sunbird does not exist in dapper
[02:24] <ardchoille> n2diy, I don't think you used Synaptic, I think you unpacked it.
[02:24] <variant> anyone know how to specify the frame buffer type in grub>?
[02:24] <ubuntu> Hi, i have a 10g partition and 70g of free space, how can i merge them? the resize button is greyed out so it ont do it like that
[02:24] <n2diy> ardchoille: I"m checking now.
[02:24] <imbecile> anyone know where i can get freenx? ive tried several things from the web but none of the worked :(
[02:24] <FunnyLookinHat> ubuntu, the reason you can't merge them is because you are currently working off that partition I bet.
[02:24] <ubuntu> im on a live CD
[02:24] <FunnyLookinHat> ubuntu, hmm
[02:25] <Beverage> Hello folks, I was wondering if there were any people in the channel who have a decent amount of php access i can ask a structuring question
[02:25] <ubuntu> it does say "active" though
[02:25] <ardchoille> n2diy, The usual way to install Sunbird is to dl the package from mozilla and unpack it.. that's what I did. Then you use the path where you unpacked it to add to the command in the menus
[02:25] <FunnyLookinHat> ubuntu, did you try selecting the partition you want to make bigger?  see if any options show then?
[02:25] <variant> ubuntu: make a partition in the 70g area, transfer the files from the 10g one to the new 70g one then delete the 10g one and expand the 70g one to take up that 10g space
[02:25] <variant> Beverage: /join #php
[02:25] <mzuverink> What do I need to install to get amarok to play flac files?
[02:25] <FunnyLookinHat> ubuntu, or try variant's option.
[02:25] <michaeljsmalley> Hi all.  I'm a bit of a noob here, how do I write a shell script....  Actually, more accurately, how do I take a shell script I find online, and create a runnable script on my computer from it.  I already copied it into gedit, and tried to save it to my desktop, but...  No good.  ANY SUGGESTIONS?
[02:25] <Beverage> variant: thanks thats what i was lookin' for
[02:25] <ubuntu> FunnyLookinHat: it says thats active, could that be stopping me?
[02:26] <FunnyLookinHat> ubuntu, yea... that's weird.  Unmount the partition if you can
[02:26] <ubuntu> variant: i cant do that, thats the same thing im trying to do but backwards
[02:26] <imbecile> anyone know where i can get freenx? ive tried several things from the web but none of the worked :(
[02:26] <FunnyLookinHat> michaeljsmalley, well, it should be working....     did you try running it as ./script_name and did you chmod +x the file as well to make it executable?
[02:26] <variant> michaeljsmalley: save it as a text file and make it executable with "chmod +x /path/to/file" then run it with "sh /path/to/file"
[02:26] <FunnyLookinHat> ubuntu, do you know how to mount/unmount via console?
[02:26] <ubuntu> FunnyLookinHat: its not set as active and i still cant resize
[02:27] <michaeljsmalley> Will try those things guys... Thanks
[02:27] <variant> FunnyLookinHat: type umount /path/to/mountpoint
[02:27] <variant> FunnyLookinHat: as root (with sudo)
[02:27] <n2diy> ardchoille: Ok, there are Sunbird files in my home directory, and in /sunbird, so my guess is the path is /sunbird?
[02:27] <FunnyLookinHat> variant, lol I know how, I'm asking ubuntu if he knows how ot
[02:27] <variant> FunnyLookinHat: or sudo umount /dev/devicehere
[02:27] <variant> ok, sorry
[02:27] <FunnyLookinHat> :D
[02:27] <Moxxon> Weird
[02:27] <ardchoille> michaeljsmalley, If you want to learn how to write scripts, have a look at this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/nixcraft/linux/docs/uniqlinuxfeatures/lsst/
[02:27] <FunnyLookinHat> no worries dude, you're trying to help   : )
[02:27] <Moxxon> my internet is much faster on linux :/
[02:28] <ardchoille> n2diy, How did you run it from cli?
[02:28] <FunnyLookinHat> ubuntu, did you try umount /dev/hd0 or whatever the device is?
[02:28] <variant> Moxxon: that is unlikly, unless you have a virus sucking up bandwidth on windows
[02:28] <Moxxon> Prolly from all my security software variant
[02:28] <Moxxon> On windows
[02:28] <ubuntu> FunnyLookinHat: umount: /dev/hda1: not mounted
[02:28] <FunnyLookinHat> Moxxon, linux is just better   : )
[02:28] <Moxxon> heh
[02:28] <FunnyLookinHat> ubuntu, type df -h
[02:28] <ubuntt> can any one help me "beryl-xgl: No composite extension"
[02:28] <FunnyLookinHat> ubuntu, tell me what devices it lists
[02:29] <ubuntt> please
[02:29] <khaije1> anyone here using a firefox proxy plugin?
[02:29] <variant> ubuntt: /join #ubuntu-xgl
[02:29] <ardchoille> n2diy, To run it from command line, did you cd to a path and then run it using a filename?
[02:29] <FunnyLookinHat> ubuntt, try asking in #ubuntu-effects
[02:29] <jonw_> khaije1: whats a proxy plugin ?
[02:29] <FunnyLookinHat> variant, they removed that channel
[02:29] <variant> FunnyLookinHat: ah, it's about time
[02:29] <juano__> !intel
[02:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about intel - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:29] <FunnyLookinHat> variant, i know right?   haha
[02:29] <juano__> !ati
[02:29] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:29] <grndslm> why is my processor's MHz rating comin' up short when i cat /proc/cpuinfo?  i know it is much faster than what it displays!
[02:29] <khaije1> jonw_: an add-on for firefox that adds extra proxy abilities
[02:30] <ubuntu> FunnyLookinHat: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4362/
[02:30] <cables> Is Gaim Beta 6 ever going to be backported to Edgy?
[02:30] <jonw_> khaije1: 'extra' ?
[02:30] <transgress> okay when i try to run compiz i get the error compiz.real: Another compositie manager is already running on screen: 0  compiz.real: no manageable screens found on display :0.0
[02:30] <FunnyLookinHat> grndslm, your cpu may be scaling down because it's in low-use or powersave mode....??
[02:30] <variant> grndslm: probably it is doing speedstepping (reducing the Mh/z depending on current load)
[02:30] <FunnyLookinHat> ubuntu, checking ur paste,    one sec
[02:30] <transgress> anyone have a clue as to why --replace didn't work?
[02:30] <ubuntu> ok
[02:30] <n2diy> ardchoille: ok, it runs with /sunbird/sunbird
[02:30] <khaije1> jonw_: in my case i'm looking for the ability to switch between several different proxy profiles, and control what is sent to each
[02:31] <FunnyLookinHat> ubuntu, ok weird.  Try restarting gparted, and then try to resize the partition again.   It _should_ work.  I've never seen it not work.
[02:31] <ardchoille> n2diy, So the command ine the menus needs to be /home/USERNAME/sunbird/sunbird ?
[02:31] <FunnyLookinHat> ubuntu, what type of filesystem is it?
[02:31] <ubuntu> etc3
[02:31] <khaije1> jonw_: for example dns requests usually aren't sent through the configured proxy iirc
[02:31] <DEinspanjer> I'm trying to mount my second HD which has my windows NTFS partition.  Following the instructions on the wiki, I can successfully mount it, but the permissions of the directory to which I am mounting it change from the 777 to which the wiki told me to chmod it into 500 permission mask.  Does this sound normal?
[02:31] <ubuntu> ext3*
[02:31] <FunnyLookinHat> ubuntu, yea then it's definitely supported.  try to restart gparted
[02:31] <n2diy> ardchoille: roger that, tnxs
[02:31] <ardchoille> n2diy, You're welcome :)
[02:31] <FringeJacket> anyone know how to adjust the temp a laptop fan kicks in at?
[02:31] <variant> DEinspanjer: do not use 777, besides ntfs does not support permissions at all
[02:31] <grndslm> it's gotta pretty heavy load...but according to ubuntu, my 2000+xp processor is slower than my 1600+xp
[02:32] <jonw_> khaije1: fair enough no ... havnt seen any ... was just thinking you maybe able to use a proxy.pac to configure things for you
[02:32] <ubuntu> funnylookinhat: still cant
[02:32] <transgress> okay when i try to run compiz i get the error compiz.real: Another compositie manager is already running on screen: 0  compiz.real: no manageable screens found on display :0.0
[02:32] <DEinspanjer> variant: The wiki suggested that I sudo mkdir /media/NTFS then chmod 777 it.
[02:32] <FunnyLookinHat> ubuntu, dang i wish I could VNC into your system to mess with it...  heh
[02:32] <khaije1> jonw_: it's all good, i know there are many out there, i was just hoping to not have to research / experiment with them all :-)
[02:33] <superdave888> how do you get a list of daemons running and start & stop them?
[02:33] <DEinspanjer> variant: If that part of the wiki is wrong, that's fine, but is there a way I can make the RO mount visible to my normal user instead of just root?
[02:33] <FunnyLookinHat> DEinspanjer, don't bother setting permissions on it unless you are using the ntfs-3g driver to write to it.
[02:34] <lgc> nalioth, you there?

[02:35] <FunnyLookinHat> DEinspanjer, yea, add it to your fstab list to be mounted, and do a chmod 333 /path/to/dir
[02:35] <ardchoille> n2diy, No, it seems I can't
[02:35] <nalioth> lgc: come to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[02:35] <FunnyLookinHat> Myk0, just ask your question and if someone can answer it we will  : )
[02:35] <n2diy> ardchoille: I don't know if you can or not? that is the only thing it lacks vs korganizer.
[02:35] <superdave888> rbil: thanks
[02:35] <DEinspanjer> FunnyLookinHat: when you say /path/to/dir, do you mean /media or /media/NTFS?
[02:35] <superdave888> ardchoille: thanks
[02:35] <DEinspanjer> Just to make sure
[02:35] <ardchoille> n2diy, Ah, yeah, true
[02:35] <Myk0> funnylookinghat: thanks been posting on the forums and here for a while no luck !
[02:36] <ardchoille> superdave888, You're welcome :)
[02:36] <FunnyLookinHat> DEinspanjer, well what are you setting as the mount point for the drive?
[02:36] <ardchoille> n2diy, Well, kontact is much more robust anyway
[02:36] <DEinspanjer> FunnyLookinHat: sudo mount /dev/hdc2 /media/NTFS
[02:36] <FunnyLookinHat> Myk0, well hopefully one of us can fix your issue   : )
[02:36] <FunnyLookinHat> DEinspanjer, then do chmod 333 /media/NTFS
[02:36] <CompEngRH> chmod 333 /media/NTFS
[02:36] <Myk0> funnylookinghat, any experience with ppc macs?
[02:37] <warty> Hi how do i install to HDD ?
[02:37] <FunnyLookinHat> Myk0, unfortunately no.  Was your question the one up there about you getting the blank screen?
[02:37] <FunnyLookinHat> !ppc
[02:37] <ubotu> ppc is PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers, and now a fully supported Ubuntu architecture.
[02:37] <ubuntu> !fstab
[02:37] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[02:37] <Myk0> funnylookinghat: yes
[02:37] <n2diy> ardchoille: I'll have to look into that. But I need to set up another calendar program like I need a hole in my head.
[02:37] <ardchoille> n2diy, hehe
[02:37] <Myk0> however no one seems to have any idea on how to fix it, i swear im stumpted.
[02:37] <ardchoille> n2diy, Do you use Thunderbird?
[02:37] <FunnyLookinHat> Myk0, hmm.  And you are using the PPC CD, right??
[02:37] <DEinspanjer> FunnyLookinHat: I do that and then verify it by ls -ld /media/NTFS. It is 333.  When I sudo mount though, the permissions change to 500.
[02:37] <xao1> !initramfs
[02:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about initramfs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:38] <Myk0> funnylookinghat: yes
[02:38] <xao1> where can i find the initramfs source files?
[02:38] <FunnyLookinHat> DEinspanjer, the best way to mount the device would be by adding a line to your FSTAB file (should be in the wiki pages somehwere) because you can tell it what permissions to mount as
[02:38] <Myk0> right before it boots up , seems to freeze up into a white screen, i have a feeling its somehow hardware related not software
[02:38] <kingace> hello all
[02:38] <kingace>   Depends: libc6 (>=2.4-1) but 2.3.6-0ubuntu20.4 is to be installed
[02:38] <kingace>   Depends: libglib2.0-0 (>=2.12.0) but 2.10.3-0ubuntu1 is to be
[02:38] <kingace> i get that error ^
[02:38] <DEinspanjer> FunnyLookinHat: Okay, so my problem is that I'm manually mounting it.
[02:38] <kingace> but those two apps are currently latest version
[02:38] <n2diy> ardchoille: yes I do.
[02:39] <DEinspanjer> FunnyLookinHat: Let me go try adding an fstab entry for it.
[02:39] <FunnyLookinHat> Myk0, That's very weird.  And it does it with the alternate install CD and the live cd, right?  If so, I'm afraid it is a hardware issue.
[02:39] <warty> ok thanx have 2 parts ntfs
[02:39] <FunnyLookinHat> DEinspanjer, sounds good.
[02:39] <Myk0> funnylookinghat: i used the 6.10 desktop ppc, alternate cd and 6.06 dapper
[02:39] <At0mic_PC> What's the new BMP?
[02:39] <Myk0> and still no luck
[02:39] <ardchoille> n2diy, There is an extension for Thunderbird that is almost the same thing as Sunbird, but it allows calendaring in Thunderbird. I used it for a while. Just FYI.
[02:40] <jonw_> Myk0: sorry to be unhelpful, but my mac did that for a while ... cant remember why, sorry
[02:40] <heatman> is gnome the default Xserver of Ubuntu?
[02:40] <FunnyLookinHat> Myk0, yea, then it's definitely a hardware issue.  I have never tested the PPC stuff but I know it's officially supported so I'm sure it should be working.
[02:40] <At0mic_PC> heatman: Yes.
[02:40] <Jakob> can anyone help me with Xorg
[02:40] <jrib> heatman: it's the default desktop environment
[02:40] <FunnyLookinHat> heatman, it's the default window manager, eys
[02:40] <ardchoille> kingace, Are you on Dapper?  Common stuff like HTB.init seems very old. Is there anything recent?
[02:40] <Jakob> i've run Xorg -configure and everything and when i try to startx i get no devices found
[02:40] <kingace> ardchoille: technically im on dapper, but all my software i up-to-date
[02:40] <FunnyLookinHat> heatman, you can also install KDE or use KDE right off install with a kubuntu installation
[02:40] <ardchoille> n2diy, Oh, no, I don't think it does.
[02:40] <kingace> *is
[02:41] <ardchoille> kingace, And are you trying to install something from Edgy repos or a debian .deb package?
[02:41] <quannum> Hi, I have a problem with avahi on edgy whereby I can't start the avahi daemon using $/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start, yet I can start it using $avahi-daemon. Any ideas where to start debugging? I get no output from running the startup script.
[02:41] <Jakob> /var/log/Xorg.0.log  gets to II primary device is pci 00:02:0  \n  EE no devices found
[02:41] <warty> perhaps boot floppy ?
[02:41] <Gigs> anyone know how to get spellcheck working in xchat in ubuntu?  It worked in debian unstable.  The option is in preferences and is checked, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.
[02:41] <kingace> ardchoille: edgy/dapper repos
[02:41] <n2diy> ardchoille: Ok, thanks for the FYI.
[02:41] <jonw_> Myk0: kinda looks like you screen gets zapped with a ray gun on boot ;)
[02:41] <imbecile> anyone know where i can get freenx? ive tried several things from the web but none of the worked :(
[02:41] <ardchoille> kingace, So you're mixing repos? That's not a good idea IMHO
[02:41] <heatman> does Ubuntu 6.10 comes with any version of ndiswrapper? Sry if i ask alot of questions but this is the first time I install this Distro
[02:41] <kingace> ardchoille: ight, lemme fix that
[02:41] <Myk0> jonw_ thats exactly it, i have no idea why , and no answeres on google or the forums
[02:42] <sivik> why is flash being stupid today
[02:42] <warty> i go to mnt no rw
[02:42] <kitche> heatman: have to install it
[02:42] <ardchoille> kingace, Kinda looks like you're having a conflict due to mixing versions.
[02:42] <imanoob> pbureau, you here?
[02:42] <shatrat> heatman, its in the repositories i believe, easy to install
[02:42] <armadill0> hey, I'm in kde using quanta and the menu bar that has "File, Edit, so on" has disappeared.  How do I get that to show up again?  Thanks!
[02:42] <n2diy> ardchoille: How do I create the menu entry for sunbird, with the alacarte menu editor?
[02:43] <heatman> hehe not when u dont have access to the internet! im on other pc using Suse ;)
[02:43] <Myk0> can anyone help with LIVECD problems on a PPC install?
[02:43] <kingace> ardchoille: mixing versions of what? libc6? or dapper vs. edgy?
[02:43] <ardchoille> n2diy, You use: /exact/path/to/sunbird/sunbird
[02:43] <jonw_> Myk0: sorry cant help ... but suggest dont give up on the hardware yet ;) I wonder if thats why mine is running suse now, lol
[02:43] <ardchoille> kingace, Mixing dapper/edgy stuff will cause a mixing of app versions and is not recommended.
[02:43] <musya> how can i view .chm file?
[02:44] <kingace> ardchoille: ok, im gonna fix real quick, and then we'll see if it works, and i'll be back
[02:44] <chavo> armadill0, hit Ctrl-M
[02:44] <kingace> ardchoille: thanks so far
[02:44] <jrib> musya: xchm, gnochm
[02:44] <n2diy> ardchoille: yes, with the alacarte menu editor correct?
[02:44] <Myk0> jonw_ im looking into other distros of linux now because of this issue, been dealing with this for 3 days already
[02:44] <Flannel> musya: theres a few.  xchm is one of them.  if you search for "chm" you'll get a bunch
[02:44] <ardchoille> kingace, Which is the reason for the conflict you posted ;)
[02:44] <armadill0> chavo: thanks man, that does it :)
[02:44] <ardchoille> n2diy, Yes
[02:44] <chavo> np
[02:44] <warty> maybe i run demolinux that had install options
[02:45] <sivik> i am so going to shoot flash
[02:45] <snipes> exit
[02:46] <ardchoille> n2diy, Also, there is a .xpm file you can use as the icon. I believe it's in the /sunbird/default/icon or something
[02:46] <kingace> ardchoille: ok, when i switched everything to edgy, dist-upgrade gives me about 1500 mb worth of packages to upgrade.. this normal?
[02:46] <ronnyml> hiy guys i need some help, i got a problem i cannot update and install with apt, i got this: E: Problem with MergeList..  E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened, i found in google that the problem is with cache and i edit the /etc/apt/apt.conf and set APT::Cache-Limit "10000000"; but it does not work
[02:46] <|Jason8|> Hey guys, what are some multi-protocol IM clients for linux other than Gaim?
[02:46] <ardchoille> kingace, If you're upgrading from Dapper to Edgy, I believe that would be normal as all of your stuff needs to be upgraded to the versions used in Edgy.
[02:47] <kingace> ardchoille: i guess ill just upgrade then.. wish me luck
[02:47] <kitche> |Jason8|: kde has a program like that think it's Kconv or soemthing like that
[02:47] <ardchoille> kingace, Good luck!
[02:47] <n2diy> ardchoille: ok, I don't run stuff from the desktop, so I don't need an icon, unless I want to drag it to my tool bar. anyway, here goes for my first attempt at using Alacarte.
[02:47] <kingace> thansk
[02:47] <Vuen_> kitche, |Jason8|: it's called kopete, and it's not very exciting
[02:47] <ardchoille> n2diy, :)
[02:48] <At0mic_PC> |Jason8|: Doesn't gnome-icu do it?
[02:48] <At0mic_PC> It may not, I'm not totally sure.
[02:48] <jonw_> !beryl
[02:48] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[02:48] <ronnyml> Jason8l kopete is a really nice program
[02:48] <n2diy> ardchoille: No joy, let me fiddle a bit.
[02:48] <ardchoille> n2diy, Yeah, I do't use alacarte, I use the openbox desktop menu provided by openbox in gnome
[02:48] <warty> fstab file system tab ?
[02:48] <DEinspanjer> FunnyLookinHat: Do you see something obviously wrong with this fstab entry? "/dev/hdc2 /media/NTFS ntfs user,noauto,umask=555 0 0"?  After saving that, when I mount /dev/hdc2, the mount point has 000 umask instead of 555...
[02:48] <Vuen_> warty: table
[02:48] <Myk0> damnit i give up on PPC
[02:49] <ardchoille> n2diy, What is the exact full path to the sunbird file you ran in command line?
[02:49] <|Jason8|> Will kopete work in GNOME?
[02:49] <cafuego_> |Jason8|: of course
[02:49] <|Jason8|> kk, thx
[02:49] <FunnyLookinHat> DEinspanjer, at first glance it looks fine, but I've always had to google to find out how to setup an FSTAB entry
[02:49] <Vuen_> DEinspanjer: mask is xor. 555 means NOT read and NOT execute
[02:49] <eidolon> hi folks - i'm running 'edgy eft' - just installed - all apt-got up to date.  i'm having a lot of programs triggering the 'stack smashing detected' problem.  like 'sysinfo' (which was in apt's universe).  is this really a problem with sysinfo or a problem in how ubuntu is configured?
[02:49] <imbecile> anyone know where i can get freenx? ive tried several things from the web but none of the worked :(
[02:49] <Vuen_> DEinspanjer: if you want the files to be read-only, set the mask to 0222
[02:50] <DEinspanjer> Vuen_: DOH! okay, thanks.
[02:50] <Vuen_> imbecile: sudo apt-get install nxclient nxserver
[02:50] <FunnyLookinHat> Thanks Vuen_    im a poor sort with FSTABs
[02:50] <syntaxx> anyone know what to read on locking sudoers account after 3 invalid logins?
[02:50] <Vuen_> DEinspanjer: note it's 0222, not 222
[02:50] <HP_Vue> Has anyone here been able to beat the computer in 4-in-a-row?
[02:51] <Vuen_> syntaxx: not sure if that's possible. it shouldn't be necessary, since sudo sleeps when a login is invalid, so it can't really be brute-forced
[02:51] <n2diy> ardchoille: I tried /home/me/sunbird/sunbird, and it errored on child processes, so I tried /sunbird/sunbird, and all is well. :)
[02:51] <cfusting> ..
[02:52] <DEinspanjer> FunnyLookinHat, Vuen_: Thanks very much that got me up and running.
[02:53] <DEinspanjer> Vuen_: Thanks again for that clutch bit of luser slapping. :)
[02:53] <Vuen> heh. don't worry about it
[02:53] <Vuen> i had to learn that the hard way >.<
[02:54] <cfusting> HI. Rhythmbox music player fails to play mp3/4 despite installation of gstreamer plugins. Has anyone had this issue?
[02:54] <imbecile> Vuen,  no luck
[02:54] <Vuen> imbecile: okay, well i know one thing for sure will work, hold on
[02:54] <ardchoille> n2diy, Ah, ok, glad you got it working
[02:54] <imbecile> Vuen,  awesome thanks
[02:55] <Vuen> imbecile: have you got ssh working on the server machine?
[02:55] <FunnyLookinHat> cfusting, did you instal the restricted format libraries?
[02:55] <imbecile> vuen i havent set it up yet
[02:55] <FunnyLookinHat> !restricted | cfusting
[02:55] <ubotu> cfusting: 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
[02:55] <Vuen> imbecile: oh. well that's definitely why
[02:56] <Vuen> imbecile: you need ssh.
[02:56] <youser> hey is there a way  to share a network on 2 ubuntu computers using dhcp ip's?
[02:56] <cfusting> FunnyLookinHat: I'll look into that thanks
[02:56] <newbie41> help please edgy is up and running penggy dials aol everything works then "could not rename etc/resolv.conf. no such file or directory" should i make one?
[02:56] <imbecile> i have ssh i just havent messed with it yet
[02:56] <youser> we both have internet connection but no connection to each others computers
[02:56] <Vuen> imbecile: all nx communication goes through ssh. if you don't have ssh installed, nx can't do anything
[02:56] <FunnyLookinHat> cfusting, I also STRONGLY suggest using something like amarok or banshee, so much better for music libraries  : )
[02:56] <Vuen> imbecile: are you sure you can log in? have you checked all your firewall settings?
[02:56] <icebird> when ever i visit youtube it says i need to enable javascript or install flash player which i have done both and it still says the same thing
[02:56] <Vuen> imbecile: best way to test is torify ssh
[02:57] <Myk0> problem: cannot install or get livecd booting on powerbook g4, using 6.10 desktop,alternate and 6.06 desktop . i get a white screen and freeze up
[02:57] <n2diy> ardchoille: Thanks, it was fun, and now I'm thinking of how useful Alacarte will be if I setup a box in the wild, the only trouble is, the regular user has access to alacarte, so they can see what I've hidden from them. So, now I have to figure out how to deny user access to it.
[02:57] <michaeljsmalley> icebird, download Automatix
[02:57] <cfusting> FunnyLookinHat: mmk, I'll give em all a shot ;)
[02:57] <imbecile> Vuen,  i havent done anything because i havent d/led freenx yet
[02:57] <Vuen> n2diy: could just hop into /usr/bin and chmod it 000
[02:57] <icebird> ok
[02:57] <adamonline45> How would I open a rar file?
[02:57] <bruenig> adamonline45, unrar e whatever.rar
[02:57] <youser> samba talks mostly about windows seems useless for 2 linux comps, nfs wants static ip's
[02:57] <adamonline45> thank you
[02:58] <n2diy> Vuen: That is an _interesting_ idea.
[02:58] <youser> ssh i cnt even get to work
[02:58] <warty> flash & java r scripted "live"
[02:58] <ardchoille> n2diy, There are apps that can lock things down, hold on and I'll try to find it...
[02:58] <Vuen> imbecile: first off, if you apt-get installed nxserver, then you've installed nx. second, installing ssh is something you should do BEFORE installing nx
[02:58] <youser> there has to be an eay way to networ 2 ubuntu computers
[02:58] <Vuen> imbecile: and third, freenx != nx. read this: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#Remote_Desktop_Access_via_NX
[02:59] <adamonline45> bruenig: Do I need to install something to do that?
[02:59] <Vuen> n2diy: yes, but more important is to chmod -x those files that actually store the alacart data.
[02:59] <|aSa|> Does anybody know if there is a way to use the build in search in aptitude to find exact match of package name name? (i know how to work with command line and GUI tools, the question is about aptitude)
[02:59] <Vuen> n2diy: it doesn't matter if they can run alacarte if their alacarte session can't read the hidden info
[02:59] <n2diy> Vuen: I actually did that once when I was learning basic cgi/perl scripting, I wonder how the sysops undid that?
[02:59] <ardchoille> n2diy, You might look into sabayon and pessulus..  lockdown and admin stuff for gnome desktop users.
[02:59] <bruenig> adamonline45, sudo apt-get install unrar
[02:59] <adamonline45> bruenig: easy enough :) Thanks again
