[02:59] <maek> Abyssal: you might get more help if you just put it out there, a driver problem could be anything.
[02:59] <jauru> facted: hmm
[02:59] <facted> I see
[02:59] <Shpook> Abyssal, state your problem in the room, not only will it be easier for someone to help you, it might help someone else.
[03:00] <compwiz18> Towelboy: try turning compiz off, and then try, I know I can't watch stuff while using compiz... I'm using restricted though
[03:00]  * Jan` pokes at the .iso with a stick
[03:00] <jauru> facted: looks normal is all
[03:00] <Abyssal> ok. i got a HP scanjet scanner 3800. but i do not get it running.
[03:00] <Towelboy> compwiz18: ok. will try. thanks
[03:00] <Abyssal> what can i do.
[03:00] <jauru> facted: how about 'id'
[03:00] <Flannel> facted: So, when you went about installing FF3, what did you do?
[03:00] <Abyssal> i could not find a driver.
[03:01] <facted> uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
[03:01] <jauru> facted: not normal...
[03:01] <Shpook> Abyssal: did you try searching google for a Linux driver?
[03:01] <jauru> facted: unless you entered 'sudo -s' at some point...
[03:01] <facted> i don't remember doing that
[03:01] <monkeyBox> How do I get the latest nvidia drivers?
[03:01] <facted> but I cannot say for sure
[03:02] <Forbr4d3> facted: you should reinstall ubuntu man
[03:02] <facted> would there be a way to undue/check that
[03:02] <magic_ninja> is there a program to compare two text files
[03:02] <Flannel> magic_ninja: diff
[03:02] <Forbr4d3> facted: you have something seriously screwed up
[03:02] <Shpook> You know, when I installed FF3b2, I just extracted the tarball and ran it. worked fine.
[03:02] <jauru> facted: does sound strange...
[03:02] <Flannel> magic_ninja: and various graphical versions, they probably all (at least most) have "diff" in their name.
[03:02] <jauru> facted: i assume you have already rebooted and logged in again...
[03:02] <Forbr4d3> facted: its impossible to have your situation from a default install
[03:02] <facted> ok, how do I reinstall ubuntu? do I need to format anything or can I just run the livecd again?
[03:02] <compwiz18> facted: if you find the bash history file, it will tell you what you did, and you could put it in the pastebin...
[03:02] <Abyssal> shpook: yes sure. it says that there is a kind of hp3900-series_0.11.tar.gz driver which could help.
[03:02] <facted> i can try again
[03:03] <fever> hi .... i am trying to make a loops for parameters which shows all possible combos i cant do it.... i have read tons for faq's
[03:03] <facted> let me restart and see what happens
[03:03] <facted> be back in a minute
[03:03] <jauru> facted: ok
[03:03] <Flannel> facted: Yeah, just pop it in and reinstall.  If this is a new install, that's probably best (it'll certainly take less time/effort)
[03:03] <LjL> Flannel, magic_ninja: kompare (one that doesn't have diff in the name) is a pretty good one if you're on kde
[03:03] <Forbr4d3> facted: im just saying cuz itll probably be quicker than to figure out the problem and fix it yourself
[03:03] <initx> i
[03:03] <Flannel> LjL: krazy KDE kitizens and their kaotic knames.
[03:03] <Abyssal> shpook: a detailled description how to install it would be fine.
[03:03] <LjL> there's a gnome one which works very much like it, but the name escapes me right now
[03:03] <initx> i'm getting errors due to not specifying where tclConfig.sh
[03:03] <LjL> Flannel: bleh.
[03:03] <initx> what package gives that?
[03:04] <Towelboy> compwiz18: nope...the player still just quits. when trying to play any video...strange
[03:04] <Forbr4d3> although it would be interesting to see how it went from install to running gdm as root without knowing what he was doing
[03:04] <LjL> initx: what?
[03:04] <compwiz18> Towelboy: what player are you using?
[03:04] <Towelboy> compwiz18: mplayer
[03:04] <adz21c> Hey, what is the hardware support for the Creative X-Fi in linux like? Has anyone tested this Beta driver that they released? Is there an Opensource driver for it and is it any good?
[03:04] <compwiz18> Towelboy: maybe try vlc and see what happens?
[03:04] <initx> LjL: I'm trying to build a tcl app, and have hunted down what an error means. But I need to know where the tclConfig.sh file is
[03:05] <Abyssal> is there a how to how to install a scanner driver?
[03:05] <LjL> !find tclConfig.sh | initx
[03:05] <ubotu> initx: Package/file tclconfig.sh does not exist in gutsy
[03:05] <puhchi> bad
[03:05] <Abyssal> i got the scanner and the driver but do not know how to install the *.tar.gz file.
[03:05] <redhatFDL> Boa noite à todos!  I hope you don't have any data to save on your Ubuntu box.
[03:08] <facted> in my applications, i have system tools -> root terminal
[03:08] <jauru> facted: that'll do it every time...
[03:08] <facted> is that my problem?
[03:08] <facted> i'm not actually in my root account, but i'm accessing the terminal root...
[03:08] <facted> ah ha! haha
[03:08] <facted> the things I have to learn!
[03:08] <jauru> facted: tsk, tsk, tsk.
[03:08] <Shpook> Abyssal: You can just right click the file and click "Extract" or "Extract Here" by the way
[03:08] <facted> one final question then
[03:09] <Forbr4d3> facted: if you are die hard on fixing it look at http://www.ibiblio.org/oswg/oswg-nightly/oswg/en_US.ISO_8859-1/articles/gdm-reference/gdm-reference/x135.html
[03:09] <Abyssal> that was the link: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=150599&release_id=563378
[03:09] <green> I have a question can i have 2 users with different settings on berly and one without berly settings?
[03:09] <initx> green: yeah, with different sessions
[03:09] <Forbr4d3> and set your gdm.conf enable root to 0
[03:09] <facted> I think I screwed up firefox anyway
[03:09] <LimCore> how to protect self from user to root exploits and other local privilages escalation?
[03:09] <facted> I'm just going to reinstall
[03:09] <facted> that's going to be the easiest way
[03:09] <Abyssal> ok i extracted it. now i got a folder on my desktop
[03:09] <green> initx how about installation?
[03:09] <jauru> facted: normal terminal is ofcourse in applications/accessories/terminal
[03:10] <Forbr4d3> facted: it you start gnome-terminal and it puts you it root
[03:10] <Forbr4d3> facted: its not just firefox man
[03:10] <green> initx for example one user has opera install and other user does not?
[03:10] <jauru> facted: what happens if you select normal terminal?
[03:10] <novacrust> hmm
[03:10] <facted> gotcha, thanks
[03:10] <Forbr4d3> jauru: he gets root
[03:10] <disasterpiece> anyone know if i should fully install ubuntu before i setup the raid? or after?
[03:10] <compwiz18> facted: press alt+f2, then type gnome-terminal
[03:10] <facted> username@
[03:10] <facted> ;)
[03:10] <jauru> ta
[03:10] <Shpook> Abyssal: hold on one sec, I'm gonna download it and help you
[03:10] <initx> green: well, if you install it on the system everyone has it
[03:10] <Forbr4d3> facted: whoami
[03:10] <facted> thanks for everything
[03:11] <Abyssal> shpook: i hope this driver is good enough for running HP scanjet 3800
[03:11] <jauru> facted: best of luck...
[03:11] <johnficca> I'm very confused and I need help...I got the driver for my wireless network card working(realtek rtl8185L) but I have to rerun the scripts that came with it every time I reboot...?
[03:11] <Forbr4d3> facted: you can check your firefox properties.. right click and properties
[03:11] <Towelboy> compwiz18: yeah...so should i just try changing the driver . or how do i best shoot this problem?
[03:11] <LOLJESUS> DCC SEND startkeylogger 0 0 0
[03:11] <Forbr4d3> facted: it should say something like firefox %u for command
[03:11] <initx> green: do you just want to lock a user out of using a program?
[03:11] <vemo> ssddddddddd
[03:12] <PKdoR> does compizfusion work on 64bit ubuntu?
[03:12] <Jordan_U> PKdoR, Yes
[03:12] <compwiz18> PKdoR: yep
[03:12] <moDumass> afternoon all, so i dloaded alien arena for linux 6.10, how do i install it?
[03:12] <facted> will do, thanks
[03:12] <Jordan_U> PKdoR, Pretty much all open source applications do
[03:12] <PKdoR> how about vbox?
[03:13] <WorkingOnWis1> PKdoR: yup
[03:13] <PKdoR> ahhhghh! open source nirvana!
[03:13] <initx> moDumass: wait 60 years for the OS, first.. seriously, if it's a deb package you should just be able to double-click in file manager, it's that easy now
[03:14] <kristin> how can you get ubuntu to detect your wireless card?
[03:14] <initx> moDumass: or dpkg -i filename.deb
[03:14] <moDumass> initx yeh but i found using the one in synaptic just screwed up my system
[03:14] <Shpook> Abyssal: Okay, open up the terminal.
[03:14] <Abyssal> ok
[03:14] <dissection> Which card do you have kristin?
[03:14] <moDumass> it seems to be a problem with the synaptic version
[03:14] <fever> omg i did it! :)
[03:14] <Jordan_U> moDumass, What format is the installer in?
[03:15] <initx> it's a deb, just an old one, Jordan_U
[03:15] <Abyssal> terminal is open
[03:15] <Shpook> Abyssal: then your going to need to CD into the directory where you extracted the file.
[03:15] <kristin> linksys wireless g card
[03:15] <green> initx no . but thanks
[03:15] <dissection> kristin: I think it uses the broadcom chipset. You should be able to get it to work by enabling restricted drivers
[03:15] <Abyssal> directly into the new directory or just onto the desktop?
[03:15] <korosora> hey, thanks for the help on skype. i appreciate it.
[03:15] <green> initx if i wanted to install compizfusion woould i need to install anything specific to run on ubuntu?
[03:15] <Abyssal> where the folder is located
[03:15] <green> video driver / etc
[03:16] <initx> green: glxinfo | grep direct
[03:16] <kristin> dissection, how to i enable my restricted drivers?
[03:16] <Shpook> Abyssal: into the "hp3900-series_0.11" directory.
[03:16] <Abyssal> ok shpood
[03:16] <Abyssal> shpook
[03:16] <Abyssal> i did that
[03:16] <moDumass> I hate expert exchange
[03:16] <moDumass> so sneaky
[03:16] <dissection> kristin: System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager
[03:17] <Jordan_U> green, You would need drivers that support 3D acceleration and texture_from_pixmap
[03:17] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, Forbr4d3, Shpook    :-)  yup, that did it.  logged in in safe mode and re-enabled it.
[03:17] <grout> Anyone have a .deb file for doomsday?
[03:17] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: :D great
[03:17] <Shpook> Abyssal: now type in "sudo ./INSTALL.sh"
[03:17] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: dads happy now?
[03:17] <hendrixski> now I gotta figure out how he can watch wsx files on his browser :-/
[03:17] <Crust> hmm
[03:17] <Shpook> hendrixski: Awesome! Great.
[03:18] <zubuntu> is there a way to check if an external hdd is about to fail?
[03:18] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: what is wsx?
[03:18] <kristin> dissection, it wants me to specify where the firmware can be found, i'm really new at this, so is there a general place it should go?
[03:18] <Shpook> Abyssal: Did it start the install script?
[03:18] <Neophos> When I opened Blender, it was suddenly nearly transparent (it's hard to impossible to read anything brighter then pure black, and you can hardly see any of the objects). Is there some option in Ubuntu anywhere that regulates the transparency of windows?
[03:19] <Novacrust> hmm
[03:19] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, sort of happy.... the first thing he did was go online, and I hadn't installed flash or any codecs    ... ooops   ... but I can't play this file on here either.
[03:19] <zubuntu> the external drive makes a thumping sound every 2-5 seconds, and I can only find info on how to check in windows
[03:19] <Abyssal> shpook: yes
[03:19] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, I haven't the foggiest idea, I'll google it
[03:19] <Abyssal> there are 2 options
[03:19] <euskadi> hi
[03:19] <euskadi> got a question, i'd like to know how can I simulate a webcam on ubuntu to use msn messenger and send a video instead of a real webcam ?
[03:19] <negativt> Is there a variable for the rownumber a function is on in Open Office Calc?
[03:19] <Shpook> Abyssal: Okay, you're going to want option 2, Install as SANE backend.
[03:19] <Abyssal> standalone application or SANE backend
[03:19] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: look into the mediubuntu repos for all the codecs he should need
[03:19] <Abyssal> ok
[03:20] <Abyssal> then ubuntu...
[03:20] <Shpook> Abyssal: Yes.
[03:20] <Jordan_U> hendrixski, What happens when you try to open it in totem?
[03:20] <hendrixski> wow, exact same problem as this guy http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=164985
[03:20] <Abyssal> shpook: and then the installation was succesfully it says.
[03:20] <hendrixski> Jordan_U, it says there's not input plugin
[03:21] <kenro> Hey. Y'all know how Synaptic PM is now specifying certain pkg as 'local or obselete'?
[03:21] <Shpook> Abyssal: Okay, now you're going to have to restart.
[03:21] <Abyssal> the whole computer?
[03:21] <Shpook> Abyssal: No, just X. Just log out and log back in.
[03:21] <dissection> kristin: So the card shows up there? If you enable it, I think it should download the required firmware
[03:22] <Jordan_U> kenro, I would think that means that it is a package which is not currently available in any of the repositories you have enabled
[03:22] <Abyssal> ok CU in a minute!
[03:22] <Abyssal> ok?
[03:22] <At0mic_PC> How can I capture the sound comming from my speakers?
[03:22] <Shpook> Abyssal: Ok, I'll be here for about 10 more minutes. :-)
[03:22] <kristin> dissection, it did and i downloaded it, now it wants me to put it the firmware somewhere so it can be found
[03:22] <At0mic_PC> Like if I'm playing a movie and want to capture the sound.
[03:22]  * duct_tape slaps mans0n around a bit with a large trout
[03:23] <jacob_> what's the successor of binary language?
[03:23] <kenro> Jordan_U: Ah, so don't take it for granted it isn't a necessary pkg...
[03:23] <Jordan_U> At0mic_PC, That will be so much easier with pulseaudio in 8.04
[03:23] <crazedCrazed> I used mount --bind on two directories. Now I cant umount the directory any ideas?
[03:23] <astro76> jacob_, binary isn't a language, it's a number base
[03:23] <mans0n> anybody know how to install flash player in ubuntu 7.10?
[03:23] <compwiz18> crazedCrazed: you unmount both binded dirs?
[03:23] <mans0n> thanks.
[03:23] <Jordan_U> !flash | mans0n
[03:23] <ubotu> mans0n: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[03:23] <jacob_> astro76 i meant to say machine language, or is there not?
[03:23] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[03:23] <Forbr4d3> crazedCrazed: can your force the umount?
[03:24] <Abyssal> hello again
[03:24] <Forbr4d3> crazedCrazed: if not reboot
[03:24] <crazedCrazed> ok
[03:24] <mans0n> Thank you. :)
[03:24] <L33tMasta> I'm thinking of switching to Ubuntu
[03:24] <kristin> dissection, i think actually i've got to choose to download it from the internet? is that for the drivers?
[03:24] <Abyssal> shpook: what now. i just logged out and reentered
[03:24] <At0mic_PC> Jordan_U: Will be?
[03:24] <crazedCrazed> ill try and force it
[03:24] <kenro> Jordan_U: I was asking a question, there...
[03:24]  * duct_tape pokes mans0n
[03:24] <L33tMasta> But before I make the switch I have a couple of questions
[03:24] <euskadi> got a question, i'd like to know how can I simulate a webcam on ubuntu to use msn messenger and send a video instead of a real webcam ?
[03:25] <rm-rf> is there anyway to generate a new uuid for a disk?
[03:25] <astro76> jacob_, this should be in #ubuntu-offtopic ;)
[03:25] <jacob_> astro76 thanks
[03:25] <jacob_> anyways
[03:25] <Abyssal> SHPOOK?
[03:25] <Jordan_U> kenro, Yes, if it's not available in main then it probably isn't a "necessary" package
[03:25] <jacob_> :)
[03:25] <hendrixski> L33tMasta, as away
[03:25] <hendrixski> ask*
[03:25] <Shpook> I hate not remembering which nvidia driver I use
[03:26] <L33tMasta> The main thing preventing me from switching is my games. Will I be able to play Crysis on Ubuntu?
[03:26] <euskadi> how use a virtual webcam in ubuntu ?
[03:26] <initx> rm-rf: afaict uuids aren't supposed to collide
[03:26] <Abyssal> hello shpook
[03:26] <Jordan_U> Shpook, For the most part Restricted Manager should deal with that for you
[03:26] <rm-rf> initx: well, funny thing :)
[03:26] <initx> rm-rf: not sure you can manually set it, doubt it.. and there's little reason
[03:26] <kenro> Jordan_U: It's asking me if I want to go ahead and de-install KDE and Gimp.
[03:26] <rm-rf> i cloned my / disk with acronis, but i'm leaving the old disk in the system
[03:26] <Shpook> Abyssal: Hello Abyssal. Have you tried scanning something yet?
[03:26] <Abyssal> shpook: what can i do next?
[03:27] <initx> rm-rf: so now the uuids are the same?
[03:27] <Abyssal> no. how? which programm shall i use.
[03:27] <Shpook> Jordan_U: Restricted Manager always installs the wrong driver lol.
[03:27] <rm-rf> initx: yep
[03:27] <Jordan_U> L33tMasta, I don't know at all but I doubt that you will be able to play crysis on Ubuntu for a while
[03:27] <Abyssal> sane?
[03:27] <L33tMasta> Will my DirectX10 card be supported?
[03:27] <hendrixski> L33tMasta, probably, there's something called cedega which allows you to play windows games on Linux... if not, you can still dual boot and use windows for gaming and Linux for all of your serious stuff like office, web, programming, etc.
[03:27] <Shpook> Abyssal: Yes, SANE.
[03:27] <initx> rm-rf: let me see if there's a way to regenerate one. might be a real problem
[03:27] <PKdoR> any body know if vbox is compatible with vmware VM's?
[03:27] <Neophos> When I opened Blender, it was suddenly nearly transparent (it's hard to impossible to read anything brighter then pure black, and you can hardly see any of the objects). Its not the transparency that's off (I can only make it even less visible that way), so any ideas?
[03:27] <L33tMasta> Well I want to make a total switch
[03:28] <Abyssal> i was able to choose that new device but error occured while trying to open the device.
[03:28] <Jordan_U> Neophos, Are you using compiz?
[03:28] <Abyssal> hp3900:libusb:005:004
[03:28] <rm-rf> initx: thx
[03:28] <Abyssal> access denied.
[03:28] <dissection> kristin: So it doesn't yet say the driver is enabled?
[03:28] <hendrixski> L33tMasta, :-) just download it at ubuntu.com   and burn an ISO.   It's not like burning a regular CD, you need a program to burn disk images
[03:28] <kenro> PKdoR: Is vbox any good?
[03:29] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: is it possible that wsx is just a wrapper for wmv? i would try to download one of these videos and change the extention to wmv and see if u can fake totem or firefox into playing it that way.
[03:29] <L33tMasta> Well I know how do burn ISOs. I do it all from Windows Vista
[03:29] <kristin> dissection, it says that it is enabled
[03:29] <L33tMasta> withNero
[03:29] <hendrixski> L33tMasta, then it's as easy as putting that CD in the drive and booting up, and then clicking "install" and in a half hour BANG, you've got a brand new operating system that knocks your socks off
[03:29] <Shpook> Abyssal: This might be out of my range. Let me see if I can find anything on google.
[03:29] <Abyssal> ok.
[03:29] <L33tMasta> But will it support my DX10 8800GTX
[03:29] <Abyssal> thank you for your help.
[03:29] <initx> rm-rf: try vol_id --probe-all
[03:29] <kenro> PKdoR: vbox is a virtual machine, correct?
[03:29] <PKdoR> kenro: im trying to find out but it looks very promising
[03:29] <L33tMasta> Because I heard DX10 is vista only
[03:29] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, that's what I thought... but I can play wmv's on my computer... yet I can't play the wsx... which, I think you're right, is a wrapper of some sort
[03:29] <Jordan_U> L33tMasta, If new DirectX games are important to you then you probably can't switch to Ubuntu ( or any other Linux distro ) at the moment
[03:29] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: its winter time..his feet will get cold
[03:29] <Shpook> Abyssal: No problem.
[03:29] <Abyssal> i am a new ubuntu user you see. i mean linux at all.
[03:30] <PKdoR> kenro: yes just like vmware
[03:30] <dirkg3nt1y> any mods here?
[03:30] <Jordan_U> L33tMasta, Completely switch that is
[03:30] <duct_tape> LOLWUT
[03:30] <Neophos> Jordan_U -  Yes, or at least it's installed by default
[03:30] <Shpook> Abyssal: It's okay, we were all new once.
[03:30] <L33tMasta> Do any distros of Linux support DX10?
[03:30] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: it is either a wrapper or some form of drm, in which case u are out of luck atm in Linux
[03:30] <Aondo> i think games not working in linux/mac (with opengl) isnt worth playing :D
[03:30] <dirkg3nt1y> no forum mods?
[03:30] <Neophos> Jordan_U -  I couldn't change the transparency levels to less bright through that, though
[03:31] <Jordan_U> Neophos, Try disabling it temporarily in System -> Preferences -> Appearance
[03:31] <rm-rf> initx: what output should i expect from that?
[03:31] <PKdoR> any body here use vbox?
[03:31] <cabrioleur> L33tMasta: Direct X is Vista only, but it has nothing to do with using it. It's just the software side. Your card will run well.
[03:31] <rm-rf> initx: i'm getting a usage error if i don't specify a device, but i'm not sure which device to specify
[03:31] <kenro> PKdoR: I'll hafta check that out. Looking for good vpn progs.
[03:31] <pteague> virtualbox?
[03:31] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, yeah...most likely  but how do I explain that to my dad...  I can't find any literature online about it
[03:32] <PKdoR> can I se VMware VM images on vbox?
[03:32] <Neophos> Jordan_U -  Ah, that solved it. Thanks a lot!
[03:32] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: does dads puter have the horsepower to run win2000 in virtualbox?
[03:32] <initx> rm-rf: that's not it. try sudo tune2fs -U random /dev/device
[03:32] <crdlb> Neophos: did you add a window matching rule to make your menus translucent?
[03:32] <L33tMasta> Well I know it's software only, but everyone goes around saying Linux can play games I thought I might try it out
[03:32] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: as for splainin it to dad...um...does the vid play in Windows Media Player?
[03:33] <initx> rm-rf: where device is one you want to change
[03:33] <Jordan_U> Neophos, You should still be able to use Blender with compiz, just ask in ##compiz now that you know that is where the problem is
[03:33] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, it's dual booting... but the brand new wireless card I got him is acting up
[03:33] <Neophos> crdlb -  None that I know off
[03:33] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: in windows or ubuntu or both?
[03:33] <crdlb> Neophos: do you have ccsm installed? (Advanced Desktop Effects Settings)
[03:33] <disasterpiece> have a question about raiding in ubuntu
[03:34] <Neophos> Jordan_U -  I was able to use Blender a few days ago with compiz still active, but well, I'm not really bothered by having it turned off, so if it fixes the problem, I'm content
[03:34] <Forbr4d3> hendrixski: what kind of wireless card?
[03:34] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, in windows... ironically.  It works in Ubuntu with no problem, he somehow can't get it to connect on Windows.
[03:34] <rm-rf> initx: tune2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdc
[03:34] <cabrioleur> L33tMasta: wine/cedega is just trying to cheat the games that openGL is DirectX, and makes some modifications in runtime. Beside it does have support for direct x, especially cedega, but for 10 it's still not that great. In general, at least 50% of games will run.
[03:34] <dmb> whats it mean if it says upgrade version 0.3-0ubuntu1~ppa1 to 0.3-0ubuntu1~ppa1?
[03:34] <Neophos> crdlb -  Nope, don't think so
[03:34] <dmb> its like a infinite upgrade
[03:34] <initx> Neophos: lots of times that's been the suggestion for fixing something, but it's never worked for me
[03:34] <magic_ninja> !alien
[03:34] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[03:34] <Shpook> Abyssal: I'm sorry, I can't seem to find anything, and my time has run out.
[03:34] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: i love those problems, but they are the exception...
[03:34] <hendrixski> Forbr4d3, Belking wireless-g... but I don't care about the card.  it works in Ubuntu,  if it doesn't work in Windows, whatever he'll use Ubuntu instead.... and we're better off
[03:35] <Abyssal> shpook. ok. thank you for your help anyway.
[03:35] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, lol, yeah.
[03:35] <Abyssal> bye. cu
[03:35] <Onyx> Where does wine keep its DLL files?
[03:35] <Shpook> Can someone help Abyssal get his HP scanner working through SANE, if they have the time?
[03:35] <Forbr4d3> hendrixski: download the drivers off thier website
[03:35] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: can he run windows in virtualbox?
[03:35] <initx> rm-rf: i believe each partition has a uuid
[03:35] <kenro> cabrioleur: Is that 50 % of a game, or half the games?
[03:35] <cabrioleur> magic_ninja: funny, apt has nothing to do with rpms or _deb_s. Ubotu is wrong :-)
[03:36] <initx> rm-rf: so youd do for instance tune2fs -U random /dev/sdc1
[03:36] <Kyle_> I'm having trouble making my pvr150 work in gutsy
[03:36] <rm-rf> initx: ah, ok. one sec
[03:36] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, he can... but I doubt he wants to install windows if he's already dual booting... that takes like 3 hours
[03:36] <Forbr4d3> hendrixski: do you have native ubuntu drivers or are you using ndis wrapper?
[03:36] <Shpook> Abyssal: You're welcome, sorry I can't see you through to the end. Good luck.
[03:36] <cabrioleur> kenro: 50% will run well, others so so, and some at all.
[03:36] <Forbr4d3> 3 hours?
[03:36] <Onyx> Where does wine keep its DLL files?
[03:36] <hendrixski> Forbr4d3, native.  it just worked out of the box  :-)  very sweet if you ask me
[03:36] <Shpook> hendrixski: Glad your dad's computer is working. Take care.
[03:36] <initx> rm-rf: I now doubled my hard disk space with a 4gb flash drive, had to mess with uuid and stuff today
[03:36] <Shpook> Bye everyone.
[03:36] <hendrixski> Shpook, yup, now if only those wsx files cooperated
[03:36] <hendrixski> later
[03:36] <Forbr4d3> hendrixski: good
[03:37] <johnficca> I need to get my realtek wireless card (rtl8185L) to work at boot what should I do
[03:37] <rm-rf> initx: nice
[03:37] <kenro> cabrioleur:  Coz in truth, I've only ever got 50% of any one game to run. Might be that I had an older compile...
[03:37] <rm-rf> initx: when i run that command, it comes back with the tune2fs version. did it now create a new uuid for me?
[03:37] <johnficca> I have to run two of the scripts that come with the driver to get it going after a reboot
[03:37] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: windows in a vm would eliminate the need to dual boot, and there is a way to boot the native install in virtualbox, but it is wayyy geek sheek...  Sometimes you will have to modify the setup a little bit in order to run the game.
[03:38] <rromanchuk> fucked up my sudoers
[03:38] <initx> rm-rf: if one's the same, it did nothing. otherwise all's good
[03:38] <rm-rf> initx: no love, it's still the same uuid
[03:38] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: but if he can, that will solve his wifi problem and wsx problem
[03:38] <cabrioleur> rromanchuk: man sudoers
[03:38] <nevoeiro> hello. the process "ksoftirqd" is consuming between 20-25% of cpu. why?
[03:38] <rm-rf> could i possible call the disk out in grub with root=/dev/sdc1, instead of root=UUID?
[03:39] <cabrioleur> nevoeiro: a bug :-)
[03:39] <nevoeiro> :(
[03:39] <rromanchuk> cabrioleur: its a access problem now, should i boot recovery for root?
[03:39] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, that's true... or I guess he can set up VMware to run his windows partition as a virtual machine
[03:39] <disasterpiece> yes ubotu, I followed the directions 5. but it still doesn't see the drives as stipped when i install. i'm completely new to this by the way
[03:39] <initx> rm-rf: does it also give the bad magic number error?
[03:39] <kenro> cabrioleur: Anyone still providing the cedega src for free? Or, God forbid, is a gpl bnary available?
[03:39] <LimCore> how to have /etc/init.d/dnsmasq_tor  executed right after S15dnsmasq and S20tor ?
[03:39] <nevoeiro> cabri: and when it is preditected a fix?...
[03:39] <rm-rf> initx: no
[03:39] <disasterpiece> perhaps i am doing something wrong?
[03:40] <cabrioleur> rromanchuk: you can do it this way, and remount in rw, or you can fix it from the live CD.
[03:40] <rm-rf> initx: did you see my other query above?
[03:40] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, anyways.  Thanks for the help.  I'm gonna poke around at the wsx thing a little bit more, and then we'll have him totally transitioned to Ubuntu... so then he won't care if he can't get the wireless to work on windows.
[03:40] <initx> rm-rf: the drive is unmounted, right?
[03:40] <Jordan_U> disasterpiece, Are you setting up a new Array or do you need to read one which has already been setup?
[03:40] <WorkingOnWis1> hendrixski: never used vmware, but that should work. I love getting ppl off windows, even if it means dogging out ubuntu to run windows  ocasionally  :)
[03:40] <cabrioleur> kenro: they do have cedega src, but compilation is a pain (never succeeded in debian/ubuntu)
[03:40] <rromanchuk> cabrioleur: thx
[03:40] <initx> rm-rf: yes, but wanted to know if the one returning just the version number threw an error
[03:40] <|_James_Bond_|> HI PPL
[03:40] <nevoeiro> cabrioleur: and when it is preditected a fix?...
[03:41] <disasterpiece> Jordan_U, it was set up previously with windows.
[03:41] <rm-rf> initx: no, it is not. it is currently mounted as /
[03:41] <rm-rf> initx: /dev/sdc1             106G   60G   42G  60% /

[03:41] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[03:41] <hendrixski> WorkingOnWis1, yep,  we're all fighting the good fight here... to get people off of windows :-)
[03:41] <kenro> cabrioleur:  actually, I did it once. Then lost my comp and when I got back I couldn't find cedega.

[03:43] <Jordan_U> disasterpiece, You are setting up a new array if you have new blank HDDs or are going to reformat them, in which case it would be easier to do true soft-raid, but that does not seem to be the case for you
[03:43] <Big-E> ..intellegent. ^^

[04:02] <KlrSpz> dan2, what drivers?
[04:02] <dan2> wireless, ethernet, video
[04:03] <crushin_> ndiswrapper
[04:03] <dan2> I believe it uses the 4945 wireless chipset, and some new ethernet chipset from intel

[04:08] <dan2> KlrSpz: so back to what I was saying... where do I get the latest testing builds of ubuntu and it's installer
[04:09] <darkblue_B> Install Q: I have a new external disk. I started up on a Ubuntu Boot Disk, I am installing, but the final install screen shows that it wants to format the swap partitions of my existing internal boot drives. I am alarmed . Advice??
[04:09] <edellingham> Hey, anyone using Prism compatible wireless card on Gutsy?  It's worked out of the box in Feisty.  I ran Xubuntu Gutsy Beta for awhile and worked out of the box with that too.  Now I'm trying to use Kubuntu Gutsy and my wireless card works fine on the Live CD, but doesn't work at all after install.  Any idea's?
[04:09] <magic_ninja> ImportError: No module named gdkpixbuf
[04:10] <edellingham> It's actually a Netgear WG511 card.
[04:10] <starry> hi all
[04:10] <Sepheebear> initx, rm-rf: im not sure tune2fs works on non-ext(2,3) partitions
[04:11] <rm-rf> initx: is it necessary to have swap listed by uuid in /etc/fstab, or can i just put it in as /dev/sdc5
[04:11] <katharos> ok, question, last time i used this bt878 capture card, it worked out of the box, now i have no /dev/video0 i assume because the card wasn't in when i installed ubuntu.
[04:11] <katharos> How do i set it up?
[04:11] <rm-rf> Sepheebear, initx: that makes sense
[04:11] <initx> rm-rf: nothing MUST be listed by uuid
[04:11] <crossen> katharos, for the love of god....please do a walk through....i can usually do this...
[04:11] <Sepheebear> rm-rf: swap can be declared both ways
[04:12] <romistrub> hmm... anybody know potential reasons why ubu isn't detecting my external HDD?
[04:12] <Sepheebear> rm-rf: UUID just makes it so that the drive is identified correctly should the drive number change
[04:12] <KlrSpz> rm-rf: you can list by device block
[04:13] <romistrub> is this channel dead? :|
[04:14] <magic_ninja> i think so
[04:14] <subverso> i think so
[04:14] <subverso> hehe
[04:14] <crushin_> romistrub . 7.10 does that to me to . If I reboot or sometimes pull and replace the usb .. it pix it up . did you try that?
[04:14] <magic_ninja> i have a program calling for the python module gdlpixbuf and its not in /usr/bin/python2.4 how can i find what package its located in
[04:14] <katharos> crossen, go to the usb in the terminal and type 'chown -R myusername *'
[04:15] <subverso> anyone knows if ubuntu 7.10 has any firewall enable by default?
[04:15] <crushin_> 7.10 just the iptables
[04:15] <katharos> crossen, the usb should be in /media/
[04:15] <crushin_> subverso firestarter is a good 1 sudo apt-get install firestarter
[04:15] <darkblue_B> does formatting existing swap space, as swap space, disturb a boot disk? I am booted on the install CD. it wants to format not only the swap partition of ht enew HD, but also of my existing boot disk internal
[04:16] <dan2> I can install ubuntu from a livecd right?
[04:16] <Jordan_U> magic_ninja, apt-file search
[04:16] <subverso> crushin_, nice... but im asking cause my emule
[04:16] <Jordan_U> dan2, Yes
[04:16] <rm-rf> Sepheebear, initx: the system is up and functional now, i just have the swap hardcoded in fstab
[04:16] <Journeyman> when ubuntu updates the kernel it replaces my menu.lst for grup which I have custom for my windows partition, is there anyway to stop it from replacing that file?
[04:16] <rm-rf> Sepheebear, initx: thanks for your help
[04:16] <subverso> crushin_, amule
[04:16] <romistrub> crushin_: trying now
[04:16] <Jordan_U> dan2, That is the default installation method
[04:16] <crossen> katharos, i think i got it....thanks....too much glenlivet....
[04:16] <dan2> k, thanks
[04:17] <subverso> crushin_, dont know why i've made the port tests and the udp is blocked
[04:17] <romistrub> crushin_: works now... I wonder why it does that
[04:17] <katharos> crossen, cool, i'll just wait until someone answers my question... sigh...

[04:18] <katharos> does anyone have any idea how to set up a tv tuner card?
[04:18] <rm-rf> Sepheebear: that looks like exactly what i need
[04:18] <magic_ninja> Jordan_U: it didn't turn anything up
[04:19] <subverso> crushin_, how can i see the rules from my iptables?
[04:19] <crushin_> subverso iptables -h in term

[04:20] <crossen> katharos, what was your question....???....
[04:20] <katharos> crossen, i have a bt878 tv tuner card which i know works in ubuntu as i have used it before, but before it was automatically set up on install
[04:21] <Jordan_U> magic_ninja, Name one application that needs it ( I want to see If I get the same error )
[04:21] <katharos> crossen, this time i've added it after installing ubuntu and i dont know how to set it up
[04:21] <pteague> hmm... install ubuntu-server & then the desktop... or just install ubuntu... ?
[04:21] <katharos> there should be a /dev/video0 but there isn't
[04:21] <starry> hm.. does anyone know how to import the tiling module for gdesklets? mine times out while connecting, saying that it can't import the tiling module
[04:21] <magic_ninja> Jordan_U: iceme --> http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5825&release_id=141121
[04:23] <katharos> crossen, sigh, i guess i'll just go back to searching the ubuntu forums
[04:23] <tuntun> Hi. I was wondering how I could download all the updates for gutsy for the purpose of offline updating multiple machines?
[04:23] <subverso> crushin_, iptables -L
[04:23] <crossen> katharos, i have the same problem....it seems ubuntu is better on install than later additions....is it not possible to reinstall....
[04:23] <subverso> crushin_, no rules...
[04:24] <intelikey> what is the ubuntu/debian alternative to the "service" command ?
[04:24] <darkblue_B> ok, I stopped thwe iinstall. I have unplugged the nternal drives and and started over. Much better safe than sorry
[04:24] <KlrSpz> tuntun: when you update one pc, the deb packages are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives/

[04:26] <katharos> crossen, well, it's possible, it's just a pain in the butt. And i'll probably learn more this way :)
[04:26] <tuntun> KlrSpz,Sepheebear:thanx, i'm looking now
[04:26] <subverso> crushin_, my kad is showin firewalled...
[04:26] <KlrSpz> yes you can use ssd, but it's just as easy to do it the global way
[04:26] <pteague> vmware server (or virtualbox) + windows + directx ... would this allow you to play certain games that just don't work very well under wine/cedega?
[04:26] <intelikey> s/keradi/kerspz/ nick completion error
[04:27] <KlrSpz> pteague, incorrect
[04:27] <starry> test
[04:27] <KlrSpz> directx will not install in either vmware server or v-box
[04:27] <pteague> didn't think so :(
[04:27] <KlrSpz> vmware fusion just came out for mac that WILL however use the native graphics card, but it's not out for linux (and i'm not sure if it ever will be?)
[04:27] <intelikey> KlrSpz ok  what's the iptables command to store the settings ?
[04:28] <KlrSpz> iptables-save
[04:28] <intelikey> ^ = service iptables save ?

[04:28] <Thug-life> hi la
[04:28] <Thug-life> lawl
[04:28] <Thug-life> lu
[04:28] <Jordan_U> KlrSpz, There has been beta hardware acceleration in VMware for Linux since before VMware-fusion existed :)
[04:28] <lawl> hello friends
[04:28] <extracted> I know this really isnt a ubuntu question but would some one mind looking at my subnetting i just did and tell me if i am doing it right ?
[04:29] <lawl> allah came to me in a dream and told me to visit this channel
[04:29] <pteague> Jordan_U> how hard is that to get?
[04:29] <buzzsaw> i am running ubuntu on vmware fusion and just upgraded to version 1.1 and it seems to have broken my internet
[04:29] <KlrSpz> Jordan_U: 3d accel?
[04:29] <lawl> i am not sure what i am meant to be doing here
[04:29] <Jordan_U> KlrSpz, IIRC you can't really play any new games with either yet, though things may have changed
[04:29] <crushin_> !vmware
[04:29] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[04:29] <buzzsaw> does any one have experience running ubuntu in a vmware?
[04:29] <KlrSpz> i'm not impressed at all with gutsy
[04:29] <Johnny_5> aloha all!!
[04:29] <extracted> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/subnet-question-609721/       did i subnet this address correctly or am I making an error somewhere ?
[04:30] <KlrSpz> in fact, i'm rather disgusted by it.. if i had the patience i'd go back to feisty
[04:30] <tuntun> KlrSpz,Sepheebear: Looking in 'Add/remove apps' has turned up the promising APTonCD, described as "Tool for the creation of a CD-based repository containing all packages downloaded via apt-get. Helpful for a post-installation on several machines or a simple backup method to re-install the system."
[04:30] <Johnny_5> got an interesting ?...
[04:30] <KlrSpz> tuntun: cool.. yeah you could do that i guess
[04:30] <Sepheebear> intelikey: man iptables-save
[04:30] <Jordan_U> KlrSpz, pteague This guide seems out of date but just to show that it is possible: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=84344
[04:30] <pteague> Jordan_U> heh, i'm not really interested in much of the new stuff... most of what i want to play is probably '02 or older... & stuff i just can't get to work on wine or cedega
[04:31] <KlrSpz> if i can play bf2, i'm happy :)
[04:31] <extracted> any one ?
[04:31] <pteague> cool, thanks Jordan_U
[04:31] <intelikey> KlrSpz  chkconfig -list  == ?
[04:32] <Johnny_5> just built a comp out of old used components
[04:33] <Johnny_5> for some reason we keep getting errors and x won't fire up
[04:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Nothing wrong with that..
[04:33] <KlrSpz> intelikey: huh
[04:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Does it boot to the livecd ok?
[04:33] <Jordan_U> Johnny_5, Even in "safe graphics mode" ?
[04:34] <intelikey> KlrSpz i'm not familear with upstart   how do you list what is set to start on boot up ?
[04:34] <Anubyss> anyone can point me to a site or book that is best to learn linux that relates to ubunto, thanks
[04:34] <extracted> will some one look at this thread and tell me if i did the subnetting correctly ?     http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/subnet-question-609721/
[04:34] <rm-rf> Sepheebear, initx: thanks to that bug report, i now have swap entered in fstab with a uuid. thanks again.
[04:34] <Johnny_5> it boots up to the startup menu, but the when i hit enter to boot up and install that's when i get the errors
[04:34] <intelikey> KlrSpz i'm converting a doc to ubuntu'ish from redhat'ish
[04:35] <Johnny_5> i haven't tried it in safe mode
[04:35] <groovesalad> i ran "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hdd1 /disk2 -0 force" to copy files from a windows hd, i also added a line to fstab, i deleted the line now that im done, but now it logs out as soon as i log in. i forgot to umount it, and i no longer have the drive. what should i do?
[04:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Johnny_5: Is it a Dell MB?
[04:35] <Johnny_5> no
[04:35] <KlrSpz> intelikey: look at the /etc/rcN.d folders, where N is a runlevel
[04:35] <Johnny_5> asus
[04:35] <Strangework> gThumb always seems to play .gif's a lot faster than it should, how can I fix this?
[04:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Johnny_5: At start or install hit F6  then try typing noapic on the boot line.
[04:36] <intelikey> KlrSpz oh does upstart still use those links ?
[04:36] <KlrSpz> yeah
[04:36] <intelikey> k ty
[04:36] <dirkg3nt1y> Strangework: try looking at man gthumb
[04:36] <dan2> am I supposed to see a black screen on installation that lasts more than 20 seconds
[04:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Johnny_5: pci=noapci acpi=off noapic nolapic or  all_generic_ide      are other options you can try..
[04:36] <Strangework> dirkg3nt1y, excuse me?
[04:37] <Jack_Sparrow> dan2: some can last way longer than that if you have a slow machine or low ram.
[04:37] <dan2> Jack_Sparrow: this is T61P
[04:37] <pteague> sweet... Jordan_U, you rock
[04:37] <dan2> jack-desktop: 3 ghz core 2 duo iirc
[04:37] <dirkg3nt1y> Strangework: open the terminal in the Menu under ... accesories and type that
[04:37] <dan2> with nvidia graphics
[04:37] <jack-desktop> dan2: what?
[04:37] <Johnny_5> a couple of the pins were bent on the processor so i had to try to bend them back...could that be the prob??
[04:37] <_fuujin_> =O
[04:37] <extracted> would some one mind looking at this post i made and tell me if i did the subnetting correctly ? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/subnet-question-609721/
[04:37] <dan2> jack-desktop: sorry
[04:38] <dan2> Jack_Sparrow: ^^^^^^^
[04:38] <Jack_Sparrow> dan2: not if it boot to the start or install menu
[04:38] <Strangework> dirkg3nt1y, thank you. :)
[04:38] <jack-desktop> dan2: ;p
[04:39] <dan2> ewwww
[04:39] <Jack_Sparrow> dan2: assuming you have more than 256 megs you may end up using the alternate install cd
[04:39] <dan2> Jack_Sparrow: I got 2G of ram in here
[04:39] <extracted> no one,
[04:39] <intelikey> ok what script starts iptables ?
[04:39] <Jack_Sparrow> dan2: that was for johnny
[04:39] <katharos> extracted, i don't know much about subnetting but cant you try it out and see what happens?
[04:39] <crushin_> extracted . sum1 will look
[04:39] <intelikey> or rather loads the rules ?
[04:39] <KlrSpz> intelikey: i think the kernel
[04:40] <Jack_Sparrow> gotta run... goodnight all.
[04:40] <crushin_> be well Jack_Sparrow \
[04:40] <KlrSpz> but iptables-restore pulls bck in the rules
[04:40] <dan2> Jack_Sparrow: so how do I boot to the install menu
[04:40] <initx> I use the alternate install regardless, even though some people say it's a bit slower
[04:40] <extracted> i am sure i am doing it wrong because the ending address is 263 wich is over the range but idk.
[04:40] <Johnny_5> k
[04:40] <intelikey> KlrSpz ok so i'll have to add that to rc.local or something i guess
[04:40] <KlrSpz> right
[04:40] <Jack_Sparrow> dan2: if you dont get to start or install do you get any error.. often you need to verify the md5 or burn very slowly.
[04:41] <Onyx> vmware is the shit.
[04:41] <Onyx> ack, wrong channel
[04:41] <guest_> hello is anyone there??
[04:41] <guest_> ok
[04:42] <Onyx> guest_: What's up?
[04:42] <guest_> so can anyone get pokerTH to work?  I get errors about missing libraries
[04:42] <guest_> Hi Onyx, just trying to get my texas hold 'em fix
[04:42] <Onyx> guest_: Did you install it via synaptic?
[04:42] <Sepheebear> intelikey: unless you really have good reason to get deep into iptables, you might want to check out something like firehol that generates rules and helps you load them up at boot
[04:43] <guest_> no Onyx, it's a non-standard package.  I downloaded a linux installer
[04:43] <RevTom> is there a newer list than this? http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/features.html
[04:43] <katharos> anyone? is there a way to get ubuntu to check for new hardware and install drivers for it like it does on a clean install?
[04:43] <Sepheebear> intelikey: aptitude show firehol
[04:43] <dirkg3nt1y> intelikey: also too, I saw a good guide at the arch linux wiki
[04:43] <sigra> anyone know how to use gconfig-editor to change the main menu icon?
[04:43] <Onyx> guest_: It's in synaptic...
[04:43] <xal1> Hi
[04:43] <Onyx> guest_: Try to give that method a shot first as it'll get all your dependencies and stuff for you.
[04:43] <guest_> Onyx, oh, ok.  So I should be able to do "sudo apt-get install pokerTH"?
[04:44] <xal1> Is it possible to make the volume up/down hotkeys adjust PCM volume instead of front volume?
[04:44] <katharos> extracted, I wish i could help you, but i have no idea. don't suppose you know stuff about installing video capture drivers?
[04:44] <Onyx> guest_: pokerth
[04:44] <Sepheebear> intelikey: oh and the closest thing in ubuntu to chkconfig is update-rc.d
[04:44] <extracted> not really :(
[04:44] <guest_> Onyx: says it couldn't find it.  I'm on 6/04 LTS I think, maybe it's too old-school
[04:44] <kaper> hi, i wonder how can prevent 1 user to change his password? it's possible or not? I think no but any idea? please
[04:45] <Onyx> guest_: The application list should be universal though?
[04:45] <guest_> kaper you could try to put him in his own group that can't access the command?
[04:45] <Onyx> Why not update your system anyhow?
[04:45] <tubetopbaby> howdy all
[04:45] <xal1> Is it possible to make the volume up/down hotkeys adjust PCM volume instead of front volume?
[04:45] <biff420> anyone get quake4 demo loaded in ubuntu?
[04:45] <guest_> Onyx I'm too scared to update - one previous distro it didn't work
[04:45] <guest_> screwed my system up real bad
[04:45] <ploom> intelikey, network manager can also load your iptables
[04:45] <tubetopbaby> how do you turn off IPv6?
[04:45] <Onyx> guest_: Ahh, well... gutsy is pretty nice :)
[04:45] <ploom> intelikey, there is a wiki entry also...
[04:46] <Johnny_5> so would the pins b a prob?
[04:46] <kaper> guest, thanks. other way to do this?
[04:46] <katharos> anyone? is there a way to get ubuntu to check for new hardware and install drivers for it like it does on a clean install?
[04:46] <guest_> ok Onyx.  I'll give this synaptic thing a go.  I always feel decadent when I leave the command line
[04:46] <tresaa> exit
[04:46] <Sepheebear> intelikey: oh yeah https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo
[04:47] <ploom> guest_, gutsy really is nice. Just dont forget to uninstall/clean easyubuntu and other possible customizations first
[04:47] <Onyx> guest_: heh, I know what you're talking about.  I used Slackware from Slackware 7 to Slackware 10.
[04:47] <Sepheebear> katharos: what hardware are you trying to setup?
[04:47] <At0mic_P1> wow
[04:47] <dan2> xubuntu looks slick
[04:47] <crushin_> kaper I think you can prevent a user from chpass by editing /etc/pam.d/login'
[04:47] <KlrSpz> dan2: <3 xubuntu
[04:47] <guest_> ploom what's easyubuntu?
[04:47] <KlrSpz> way lighter than gnome
[04:47] <dan2> gnome blows
[04:47] <At0mic_P1> The hoops you have to jump through just to get a sound from a movie as a ringtone lol
[04:47] <dan2> I prefer kde over gnome any day of the week
[04:47] <Johnny_5> i use enlightenment
[04:47] <KlrSpz> ugh, i hate both
[04:47] <dan2> I'll take xfce over gnome too
[04:47] <KlrSpz> xfce ftw
[04:47] <ploom> guest_, do not worry in case you do not know. default installation of ubuntu upgrades just fine
[04:47] <guest_> lol Atomic_p1, I want to do that too, with some anchor man quotes
[04:48] <katharos> Sepheebear, a tv tuner card
[04:48] <hatter_> which package do i need for gnutls/openssl.h ?
[04:48] <guest_> ok ploom, one of these days I'll backup my system and upgrade.
[04:48] <At0mic_P1> guest_: I'm doing supertroopers.
[04:48] <dirkg3nt1y> I find the only thing in xfce thats really lighter is thunar
[04:48] <At0mic_P1> "I am all that is man!"
[04:48] <ploom> guest_, you can beat me in case it does not end up well
[04:48] <guest_> ok ploom
[04:48] <Sepheebear> katharos: what kind? there might/might not be a driver for it
[04:48] <katharos> Sepheebear, i've used it before and it was all set up when i installed ubuntu, this time i added the card after installing and i don't have a /dev/video0
[04:49] <zero88> ok, so im learning about john the ripper and was wondering how would i encrypt a password, and what software should i use
[04:49] <katharos> Sepheebear, there must be a driver and it must work under gutsy, as i have used it before
[04:49] <tuntun> KlrSpz,Sepheebear: what packages get saved in /var/cache/apt/archives/? eg I dont want nvtune being installed on an ati system.
[04:49] <RevTom> so... xubuntu is ubuntu for old computers?
[04:49] <KlrSpz> i LOVE vnc!

[04:50] <guest_> ok onyx I searched for pokerth in synaptic.  It has come up.  But now I can't seem to actually do anything.  I'm running as root...
[04:50] <KlrSpz> lovely
[04:50] <ploom> dan2,  xubuntu runs just fine on modern hardware also
[04:50] <unravel> RevTom: xubuntu is ubuntu with the XFCE desktop environment. some say it's lighter. i beg to differ. your milage may vary.

[04:50] <jameswf-home> !!
[04:50] <Sepheebear> katharos: what kind of vid card is it? im guessing the v4l v4l2 stuff isnt getting loaded
[04:50] <Onyx> guest_: why are you running as root??
[04:51] <Sepheebear> oh i see
[04:51] <hatter_> katharos, i just used an 878 chipset card
[04:51] <guest_> onyx, I thought i had to to install it?  I mean with sudo
[04:51] <katharos> hatter_, yeah, i've used it before and it works fine
[04:51] <KlrSpz> unravel: on a fresh install we're talking ~200mb of ram used for ubuntu vs ~40mb of ram used for xubuntu.. i think the difference is obvious
[04:51] <kaper> thank crushin_ it's not easy
[04:51] <hatter_> mine is working on gutsy
[04:51] <KlrSpz> as i illustrated today to a co-worker
[04:51] <Onyx> guest_: Yeah, thought you meant you were logged in as root...
[04:51] <crushin_> kaper I can post a thread that may help you if you like
[04:51] <hatter_> i use tvtime to test it
[04:51] <KlrSpz> hatter_: i got my masquerading figured out
[04:52] <hatter_> KlrSpz, ah, good job
[04:52] <RevTom> so i've had ubuntu installed on the system i set up to watch videos for a couple of days now, and i'm wondering if i should just switch to xp...
[04:52] <DragonSpirit> I am curious how could I make it so this is not possible: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-recover-password-under-ubuntu.html
[04:52] <intelikey> KlrSpz hmmm so this script iptables-save and iptables-restore read and write to stdout only ?
[04:52] <katharos> hatter_, the only difference between now and when i used it before, is that it's on a new motherboard and i added the card after i installed gusty instead of before
[04:52] <KlrSpz> hatter_: seemed that i actually had to set my gateway/dns to the external LAN gateway, which is odd sine i used different subnets
[04:52] <kaper> crushin_, no no think i just wonder because someone ask me this question. After i google i can't get the result
[04:52] <intelikey> stdin/stdout ^
[04:52] <KlrSpz> intelikey: yes, you can dump it to a file and read it back in on boot
[04:52] <kaper> thanks*
[04:52] <unravel> KlrSpz: the difference isnt obvious, the difference is relative.
[04:52] <hatter_> katharos, shoudnlt matter
[04:52] <hatter_> lspci shows it ?
[04:53] <tuntun> KlrSpz,Sepheebear: hmm, why insn't nvclock there?
[04:53] <katharos> hatter_, yep
[04:53] <KlrSpz> hatter_: but other than that, apparently i've had the right things in there a while
[04:53] <RevTom> it's not working w/ my live! card for 5.1, doesn't recognize my bt dongle and i can't seem to find anything that will tell me which cheap dongle to buy
[04:53] <hatter_> ls -Ral /dev/video*
[04:53] <nickrud> DragonSpirit, you can give grub a password, I'd suggest the bios password instead. If someone has access to your machine, your disks are an open book
[04:53] <KlrSpz> tuntun: in where?
[04:53] <guest_> ok onyx, pokerth definitely isn't on the list.  It just came up on the left cause that's what I searched for.
[04:53] <mjancaitis> Hi kids. Just need advice on how to mount a 16 gig NTFS flash drive if it never shows up in gparted or fdisk or anything
[04:53] <guest_> damn.
[04:53] <intelikey> KlrSpz yeah but is there not a default settings file any place ?
[04:53] <KlrSpz> no, by default there are no rules
[04:53] <tuntun> KlrSpz: /var/cache/apt/archives
[04:53] <intelikey> k
[04:53] <katharos> hatter_, No such file or directory
[04:53] <guest_> Onyx if I'm on 6.04, can I go straight to gutsy?  Or do I have to upgrade through every distro first?
[04:54] <intelikey> errr actually it default accept all
[04:54] <dirkg3nt1y> guest_: the pokerth documentation should tell the libraries that are needed
[04:54] <hatter_> katharos, with the * at the end ?
[04:54] <RevTom> kind of a pain
[04:54] <katharos> hatter_, yep
[04:54] <nickrud> guest_, thru every release; if you wait til april, you should be able to go to 8.04 directly
[04:54] <DragonSpirit> nickrud, thanks, I had a feeling it would be easy to get into anything with physical access, just wondered if I could have grub show no options, not even the esc to get to the menu option
[04:54] <guest_> ok nuckrud, maybe i'll do that
[04:54] <KlrSpz> tuntun: if you have installed it since your last cache clean then it should be there.. otherwise not sure?
[04:54] <hatter_> have you tried removing the card rebooting, then adding the card again ?
[04:55] <guest_> dirkg3ntly it just said i need libsdl/libsdlmixer.  I tried to install those and couldn't find.
[04:55] <katharos> hatter_, no, i guess i try that now
[04:55] <hatter_> (after not having the card in)
[04:55] <nickrud> guest_, I take it you have slow bandwidth? If not, why not just get the gutsy release and reinstall?
[04:55] <hatter_> i am unsure if /dev/video0 should be generated automatically
[04:55] <katharos> hatter_, brb
[04:55] <dirkg3nt1y> guest_: those are in synaptiv for sure
[04:55] <tuntun> KlrSpz: when/what cleans the cache?
[04:55] <guest_> nickrud, I'm too lazy to back up all my home directories
[04:55] <riotkittie> okay so let's talk wireless.   boo. hiss.
[04:55] <hatter_> apt-cache clean
[04:55] <katharos> hatter_, oh,
[04:55] <xal1> Is it possible to make the volume up/down hotkeys adjust PCM volume instead of front volume?
[04:55] <nickrud> guest_, heh. I have an external, just drag and drop /home/<me> to it every few days
[04:55] <bundagan> anybody else have a old 3dfx card? im running gusty, but if i do glxinfo X tottally crashes
[04:56] <hatter_> katharos, i am pretty sure mine was created automatically
[04:56] <guest_> I'm also on wireless broadband, I get one gig/month
[04:56] <theshadow> alright I'm getting annoyed I've been trying to change the permissions and ownership of a directory in MY home folder from root to me. I've tried sudo chown -R myuser:myuser ~/thefolder && sudo chmod 664 ~/thefolder but when I ls -l ~/thefolder it shows ?'s but if I sudo ls -l it shows the owner has changed but none of the permissions and I have no access
[04:56] <nickrud> bundagan, ran one for years
[04:56] <theshadow> what am I doing wrong?
[04:56] <RevTom> i use more than a gig a month just on my cell data plan
[04:56] <dirkg3nt1y> xall - look in the sound control... panel in System > Preferences
[04:56] <katharos> hatter_, well i'll try taking it out and adding it again
[04:56] <Sepheebear> katharos: here's a link i used to get mines working http://xawdecode.sourceforge.net/aideUS/htmlpage/TVCardall.htm
[04:56] <crushin_> kaper >> http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2001/09/27/pamintro.html?page=2 << take a look here
[04:56] <hatter_> katharos, reboot without the card
[04:57] <mjancaitis> !ntfs
[04:57] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE
[04:57] <riotkittie> oh lawd. ebay, why must you hate me so.
[04:57] <bundagan> nickrud, but you haven't tried yet with gusty?
[04:57] <Sepheebear> katharos: IIRC /dev/video0 gets created after you modprobe bttv and bt878
[04:58] <mjancaitis> Hi kids. Just need advice on how to mount a 16 gig NTFS flash drive if it never shows up in gparted or fdisk or anything
[04:58] <guest_> synaptic is hard to use
[04:58] <tuntun> theshadow: have you read this guide? http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fileowner.html
[04:58] <nickrud> bundagan, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Voodoo3doesnotdo3d will set you up. tdfx hasn't changed in years, stll works
[04:58] <tuntun> KlrSpz: when/what cleans the cache?
[04:58] <nickrud> bundagan, I have helped several on gutsy though
[04:58] <AzidRain> Hi there
[04:58] <dirkg3nt1y>  /set -i guest_
[04:58] <xal1> dirkg3nt1y, thanks a lot :)
[04:58] <katharos> Sepheebear, I tried something similar and it hung on reboot and i had to use a live CD to change it back
[04:58] <xal1> That did the trick
[04:58] <kaper> thank, crushin_ very useful information thank you
[04:58] <phreck> is there a quick fix for compiz fusion with ati cards?
[04:59] <ringokamens> I'm having trouble using quemu to run ubuntu 64, can anybody help?
[04:59] <katharos> Sepheebear, it might have been intended for an older kernel
[04:59] <guest_> thanks dirkg3ntly
[04:59] <dirkg3nt1y> xal1: np
[04:59] <tuntun> chawklit rayne !!
[04:59] <crushin_> anytime kaper
[04:59] <KlrSpz> tuntun: you can apt-get clean, but i'm not sure if it autocleans at any point? check man apt-get
[04:59] <nickrud> phreck, do you have 3d acceleration working?
[04:59] <phreck> lemme check..
[04:59] <hatter_> i am quite sure there is no autoclean
[04:59] <phreck> yes
[04:59] <AzidRain> have problems with cdrecord. It seems to burn cds but actually it doesn't burn anything
[04:59] <nickrud> phreck, fglrxinfo , paste *only* the last line here
[04:59] <katharos> hatter_, Sepheebear, thanx guys I will try both ideas
[04:59] <bundagan> nickrud, thanks, thats what i needed to know
[04:59] <phreck> 15593 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3118.470 FPS
[04:59] <phreck> 15175 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3034.884 FPS
[05:00] <tuntun> chawklit rayne XD
[05:00] <phreck> OpenGL version string: 2.0.6473 (8.37.6)
[05:00] <nickrud> phreck, that here doesn't tell me what I need to know
[05:00] <At0mic_P1> Great... I just spent an hour trying to figure out how to rip the sound then convert an ac3 to wav and it's the freaking spanish version..
[05:00] <hatter_> how do i find out which package i need for openssl.h ?
[05:00] <phreck> thats the last line
[05:00] <KlrSpz> bbiaf, have some things to tend to
[05:01] <RevTom> stupid bluetooth
[05:01] <nickrud> phreck, but that does :)    sudo aptitude install xserver-xgl compizconfig-settings-manager emerald  . Log out, log in go to sys->prefs->appearance, last tab
[05:01] <phreck> so i need xgl, which screws me for gaming...
[05:01] <Eyemean> hi, im new to ubuntu,, and wanted to instal newest amn but have to compile, does anyknow know how pls/
[05:01] <intelikey> so a line like      cat /etc/iptables.rules | iptables-restore    in the /etc/rc.local   is sufficient ?
[05:02] <Eyemean> or even have it compiled for gutsy
[05:02] <nickrud> phreck, yes. Games wont work with compiz anyway
[05:02] <IdleOne> !compile | Eyemean
[05:02] <ubotu> Eyemean: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[05:02] <phreck> yea...
[05:02] <DWonderly> how do you install keyboards?.
[05:02] <Eyemean> cheers idleone
[05:02] <phreck> i just keep hoping nickrud that they will =P
[05:02] <DragonSpirit> nickrud, what do you mean they don't work?
[05:02] <nickrud> phreck, to disable fglrx, just uninstall xserver-xgl.  To enable, reinstall it. Play games inbetwen
[05:02] <phreck> they dont work "well"
[05:03] <mjancaitis> Hi kids. Just need advice on how to mount a 16 gig NTFS flash drive if it never shows up in gparted or fdisk or anything; ideas?
[05:03] <nickrud> DragonSpirit, most opengl games doesn't play nice with compiz
[05:03] <phreck> nickrud: Ill just have two seperate sessions for gaming and xgl
[05:04] <ringokamens> does anybody here have a lot of experience with qemu?
[05:05] <bundagan> did anybody notice that when installing ubuntu from the livecd, the installer window can not be resized, it was a problem for me because my card was only supporting 800x600, the 'ok' 'cancel' and 'next' buttons on the bottom were clipped, i had to hack my way thru by using the tab key.
[05:05] <nickrud> bundagan, it happens when the live cd's X configurator can't determine what video card to use. Happens some
[05:06] <intelikey> could someone that knows iptables  have a look at  http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d1671f7e7   for me ?
[05:07] <sonja> is there an mp3gain program for ubuntu?
[05:07] <mjancaitis> Hi kids. Just need advice on how to mount a 16 gig NTFS flash drive if it never shows up in gparted or fdisk or anything; ideas?
[05:07] <intelikey> bundagan obviously you don't know xorg very well.  you can alt+leftclick drag the window anywhere you want it.
[05:08] <nickrud> intelikey, but not above the top of the screen ;(
[05:08] <nickrud> I hate metacity's use of that
[05:08] <intelikey> bundagan try it,  right out in the middle of a window   grab it and push it up
[05:08] <AzidRain> Why ubuntu installer insists on telling me that cd is defective if it is not???
[05:08] <AzidRain> it stops installing on about 26 %
[05:08] <Strangework> does anyone know of an image viewer that can display animated GIFs without speeding it up?
[05:08] <intelikey> nickrud oh metacity won't let you ?
[05:09] <nickrud> intelikey, no it doesn't. I like havoc's work, but I think that decision was a mistake
[05:09] <intelikey> nickrud indeed.
[05:09] <theshadow> alright again. the only way I can access a folder in my home directory is to sudo ls -l or sudo it to do anything. But the sudo ls -l shows that I am the owner of that directory and all sub folders. What gives?
[05:09] <intelikey> nickrud i didn't know that.  not a gnome user
[05:10] <nickrud> intelikey, that's ok, I'll still treat you ok
[05:10] <intelikey> bundagan my mistake.  metacity doesn't allow that.
[05:10] <Pengo-lx> Hey do I need the alternate ubuntu installer to install onto software raid arrays from the installer?
[05:10] <intelikey> nickrud while we're at it would check  http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d1671f7e7  for me please
[05:11] <Pengo-lx> someone anyone?
[05:11] <Pengo-lx> Anyone installed onto a RAID0 setup (2 disks) from the livecd?
[05:11] <CoasterMaster> !raid | Pengo-lx
[05:11] <ubotu> Pengo-lx: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[05:12] <mjancaitis> Pengo-lx: I've heard you need something like dmraid; look up fakeraid
[05:12] <phreck> ok, did they change the menus for config of the cube?
[05:12] <nickrud> intelikey, I understand the flushing, but that's it for me on iptables. When I wanted to do anything with that, I used shorewall. Easier for my shrinking brain cells
[05:12] <Pengo-lx> what i found on the net says to stay away from fakeraid and just use softwareraid
[05:12] <nickrud> Pengo-lx, I've heard people I trust say that here as well
[05:13] <intelikey> nickrud ok.   don't see anything wrong with syntax or command usage do you ?
[05:13] <phreck> meh, nm i drank too many beers.
[05:13] <fotoflo> hi all
[05:13] <Pengo-lx> the damn livecd installer doesn't see my raid partition after i've set it up with mdadm
[05:13] <nickrud> intelikey, seriously, I do not know iptables. Sorry
[05:14] <intelikey> ok.   thanks. :)
[05:14] <CoasterMaster> Pengo-lx, I believe you need the alternate install for software raid
[05:14] <fotoflo> ive just had ubuntu server installed for me on my co-located server by our hosting techs
[05:14] <Pengo-lx> damn
[05:14] <Pengo-lx> i got no blanks too
[05:14] <nickrud> intelikey, iirc, with shorwall I just dropped a forward directive into a config file, and was done
[05:14] <Strangework> does anyone know of an image viewer that can display animated GIFs without speeding it up?
[05:14] <Pengo-lx> and i burnt the livecd onto my last blank
[05:14] <Pengo-lx> well that sucks
[05:14] <fotoflo> i wanted the LAMP server, but they gave me an empty box, is there a way to quickly get the LAMP installed?
[05:15] <Pengo-lx> guess i'll just install it for now on one of my disks and then wipe when i get more blanks on monday
[05:15] <nickrud> !lamp | fotoflo
[05:15] <ubotu> fotoflo: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[05:15] <intelikey> nickrud ok.   that short howto was for cli use    i.e. shorewall might not be an option.
[05:16] <nickrud> intelikey, true. However, it is in main so ubuntu thinks highly of it. The only iptables that is, I think
[05:16] <fotoflo> thanks
[05:16] <nickrud> iptables frontend, that is
[05:16] <intelikey> indeed
[05:17] <intelikey> ok leaving.   shalom
[05:17] <homercycles> Help. I uninstalled Samba, rm -rf /etc/samba, then re-installed Samba and it hasn't created /etc/samba again. What can I do?
[05:17] <tuntun> how could I set apt-get to keep only the latest updates for use with APTonCD?
[05:17] <fotoflo> also, right now my APT repositories are wrong
[05:18] <rredd4> can someone help with vmware server please?  I am showing a new ubuntu user 7.10 and want to run it from windows.  no one in vmware is answering.
[05:18] <nickrud> homercycles, sudo aptitude purge samba && sudo aptitude install samba  .   apt assumed you did that on purpose, and won't put it back.
[05:18] <phreck> nickrud: How do i get emerald themes?
[05:18] <pteague> rredd4> what are you having problems with?
[05:18] <nickrud> phreck, art.gnome.org or gnome-look.org
[05:19] <phreck> can i add those as repos?
[05:19] <Khajavi> any one have A1200 (motorola mobile) ?
[05:19] <homercycles> thanks nickrud :-)
[05:19] <nickrud> no, you get the themes and put them in your home directory. The sites have instructions iirc
[05:19] <homercycles> nickrud: I did it on purpose because I was hoping for a fresh config file (thinking I've ruined my old one)
[05:19] <nickrud> phreck, don't you see any themes in the emerald theme manager?
[05:19] <phreck> nah
[05:19] <phreck> none
[05:19] <roy_t> hello, I have a problem I hope someone can help with. when I startup ubuntu I get an alert like "The greeter application appears to be crashing. Attempting to use a different one.", I click ok but it just keeps repeating
[05:19] <roy_t> any idea?
[05:19] <phreck> i need to install the emerald-themes package
[05:20] <phreck> dont think i have the repo for it though
[05:20] <tuntun> How might I set apt-get to keep only the latest updates for use with APTonCD?
[05:20] <fotoflo> err for some reason, my apt-get is not working
[05:20] <rredd4> pteague I have downloaded ubuntu 7.10 appliance, I get config file was created by vmware product with more features that this version
[05:20] <roy_t> I'm online only thru the live cd
[05:20] <rredd4> that error
[05:20] <nickrud> phreck, heh. Thanks for the pointer, somehow I've missed that package all this time
[05:20] <phreck> yeh
[05:20] <phreck> heh
[05:20] <rpj8> Hey, how can I test to see that there is nothing wrong with my installed nvidia drivers? I notice my 7600GT definitely doesn't match up to performance while in linux vs. while in windows
[05:20] <fotoflo> can anyone help me get apt-get working?
[05:21] <phreck> nickrud: I dont know where the package is though, ive forgotten
[05:21] <samsinite> man apt-get
[05:21] <homercycles> I did the purge/install for samba again but it still didn't put a fresh smb.conf in /etc/samba, nor did it create the folder
[05:21] <nickrud> phreck, just find it in synaptic
[05:21] <fotoflo> samsinite: Package lynx has no installation candidate
[05:21] <phreck> its not there
[05:21] <pteague> rredd4> no idea... i started off by installing ubuntu-server
[05:21] <fotoflo> nothing has isntallation candidates
[05:22] <mjancaitis> Hi kids. Just need advice on how to mount a 16 gig NTFS flash drive if it never shows up in gparted or fdisk or anything; ideas?
[05:22] <nickrud> homercycles, weird.  do    sudo dpkg -i --force-confmiss /var/cache/apt/archives/samba<tab> <enter>
[05:22] <rredd4> pteaque i just downloaded 1.0.4, can't get appliance to work
[05:22] <fotoflo> mjancaitis: mail it to me, i will mount it for you ;-P
[05:23] <phreck> nickrud: i only have he engine and the runtime in my repos
[05:23] <nickrud> fotoflo, system->admin->software sources , enable the first four sources, disable the cd
[05:23] <fotoflo> nickrud: in server, no gui
[05:23] <mjancaitis> fotoflo: don't you wish, this thing is schweet.... if it works :)
[05:23] <rpj8> is there anyway to see if my nvidia drivers are working correctly? my desktop 7600GT seems to run like poop
[05:23] <fotoflo> mjancaitis: sounds sweet
[05:23] <nickrud> phreck, neither do I. It's mentioned by another package, but doesn't exist.
[05:24] <nickrud> fotoflo, you need to enable some software sources.  go to the link I'm about to give, and get a fresh one there.
[05:24] <nickrud> !sourceomatic
[05:24] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[05:24] <homercycles> nickrud: did that and the final line now says   invoke-rc.d: initscript samba, action "start" failed.
[05:24] <fotoflo> nickrud: i know, my sources look enabled
[05:25] <fotoflo> nickrud: making a pastebin
[05:25] <homercycles> nickrud: thanks for your help. I think I'll just go back into Windows. You have plenty of other people to help by the looks of things :-)
[05:25] <nickrud> fotoflo, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lynx . If that doesn't work, your sources aren't completely enabled
[05:25] <nickrud> homercycles, that is very strange, samba not restarting. Is /etc/samba still missing?
[05:26] <homercycles> nickrud: yep, still missing
[05:26] <fotoflo> nickrud: nickrud: making a pastebin
[05:26] <pteague> rredd4> i'm not sure then... i was having issues getting both server & jeos installed & then i set up vmware to reserve the disk space (rather than growing) & they seemed to work
[05:26] <jarrod__> weird question: how does the magnet write to the metal HD? i know it gives it some sort of charge... cna anyone elaborate?
[05:26] <fotoflo> err
[05:26] <fotoflo> nickrud: http://www.pastebin.ca/836076
[05:26] <homercycles> nickrud: I tried re-creating the directory then running your --confmiss thingy again but it still didn't recreate the file
[05:26] <tuntun> How might I set apt-get to keep only the latest updates for use with APTonCD?
[05:26] <pteague> then again i've not done any gui except windows under vmware
[05:27] <sidewalk> what graphical tool do i use to format a new disk in ubuntu?
[05:27] <sidewalk> anyone?
[05:27] <roy_t> hello, I have a problem I hope someone can help with. when I startup ubuntu I get an alert like "The greeter application appears to be crashing. Attempting to use a different one.", I click ok but it just keeps repeating
[05:27] <mjancaitis> sidewalk: gparted can help you
[05:28] <nickrud> fotoflo, there's something wrong with your repos themselves, then. Thats a good looking source, you're right. Try removing the cn. from the lines, then update and try again
[05:28] <jarrod__> mjancaitis: cant he use fdisk?
[05:28] <fotoflo> nickrud: we in china
[05:28] <mjancaitis> jarrod_: fdisk isn't graphical, is it?
[05:28] <homercycles> nickrud: I found an smb.conf in /usr/share/samba so I copied it into /etc/samba then did your --force-confmiss thingy again to reinstall samba and now the daemon is starting
[05:28] <fotoflo> nickrud: i just used the source-o-matic, and still no luck
[05:28] <roy_t> anyone?
[05:28] <fotoflo> E: Couldn't find package apache2
[05:28] <jarrod__> mjancaitis: oh sorry i diddnt see that
[05:29] <nickrud> homercycles, good troubleshooting.
[05:29] <sidewalk> mjancaitis: tnx
[05:29] <fotoflo> AHAH
[05:29] <fotoflo> apt-get update1
[05:29] <fotoflo> !!!
[05:29] <fotoflo> forgot to do that
[05:29] <nickrud> fotoflo, didn't I mention it, twice :)
[05:29] <mjancaitis> burn
[05:29] <fotoflo> nickrud: you did??
[05:29] <rredd4> pteaque i guess i am not so lucky... i am going to have to download the live cd.  I didn't want to, as its slow and the new user will have to reboot to use it
[05:29] <fotoflo> ack
[05:29] <homercycles> nickrud: I've dabbled in Linux over the years so I had a suspicion a starter smb.conf might be in there... I don't know all these dpkg command-lines, though :-)  Thanks for your help
[05:30] <fotoflo> nickrud: hah, i am using two monitors and working on 4 projects...
[05:30] <javatexan> man I hate this, but it looks like there is no way around it...I have to install windows in vmware or something I guess......@#@#(!&$*#$*#$&@$@!$@!$
[05:30] <fotoflo> nickrud: sorry to waste your time like that
[05:30] <javatexan> does vmware work for ubuntu
[05:30] <nickrud> fotoflo, np, you got a lot on your desk it got lost in the flow like much
[05:30] <sidewalk> is there any better tool than gparted?
[05:30] <fotoflo> nickrud: should i keep the sources.list i had before, or use the newly generated s-o-matic ?
[05:31] <fotoflo> nickrud: think it matters?
[05:31] <nickrud> fotoflo, try the cn again they may be faster. I'd choose the fastest
[05:31] <javatexan> believe it or not, I need it to run some tivo apps...LOL  ;)
[05:31] <fotoflo> the s-o-matic is also cn
[05:31] <fotoflo> its slow though
[05:31] <fotoflo> 20k/s
[05:32] <fotoflo> maybe theres a taiwan or japan... ill check
[05:32] <tuntun> roy_t: If the GUI fails to load and you are unable to access the system menu then you should try the instructions below.
[05:32] <tuntun> 1. first reboot your computer into maintenance mode/recovery mode.
[05:32] <tuntun> 2. open /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom by entering the following command
[05:32] <tuntun> sudo vim /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom
[05:32] <tuntun> 3. press i to enter into insert mode. Locate the following line and comment it by inserting a # in front of the line.
[05:32] <tuntun> GtkModulesList=gail:atk-bridge:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libdwellmouselistener:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libkeymouselistener
[05:32] <tuntun> 4. press the Esc key and then type in :wq to save and quit the editor.
[05:32] <tuntun> 5. type sudo init 6 to rebootthat should fix the problem.I am using gutsy tribe 5 and looks like this problem has been present in Ubuntu ever since dapper hope they fix it before gutsy gets released.
[05:32] <javatexan> ouch...vmware is expensive now...!!!!
[05:32] <r00723r0> I started to upgrade to Hardy, but my computer froze and now I can log in to a shell but nothing else. No sudo.
[05:32] <r00723r0> Any suggestions?
[05:32] <riotkittie> r00723r0: #ubuntu+1
[05:32] <dan2> what's the command to change resolutions in X
[05:33] <dan2> ctrl+shift+-?
[05:33] <r00723r0> riotkittie: Already there.
[05:33] <fotoflo> taiwan is even slower
[05:33] <crdlb> dan2: xrandr ?
[05:33] <dan2> k
[05:33] <nickrud> r00723r0, reinstall
[05:33] <javatexan> tivo desktop really only works under windows and only converts .tivo to mpeg4 via windows media....YUCK!!!!
[05:33] <r00723r0> nickrud: Are you sure that's my best choice?
[05:33] <javatexan> any work arounds?
[05:34] <riotkittie> r00723r0: if you're using hardy, you should be prepared to.
[05:34] <tuntun> roy_t: (from google"The greeter application appears to be crashing">http://liltux.wordpress.com/2007/09/05/how-to-fix-the-error-the-greeter-application-appears-to-be-crashing-in-ubuntu/
[05:34] <r00723r0> riotkittie: I never used Hardy.
[05:34] <nickrud> r00723r0, you probably borked something major. Unless you plan on writing code for hardy, there's no point until maybe feb to be running it.
[05:34] <riotkittie> you started to upgrade to it. therefore, you are using it.
[05:34] <jarrod__> i tried to move a notepad file i made in xp aka "wendy" to ubuntu aka "lenny" and rename it to a .html, but it is now .doc.html
[05:34] <dan2> hardy rocks
[05:34] <KiD_ChAoS> When i plug a jump drive, that wasn't 'safely removed' from a windows machine, into my ubuntu box it always has trouble mounting the drive. is there a way i can remedy the situation when i don't have access to a windows machine
[05:35] <Ttech> XP  = wendy? :)
[05:35] <Ttech> What?
[05:35] <horizxon> how would I allow myself to mount network samba drives without having to input a password? I'm trying to script something
[05:35] <nickrud> r00723r0, you probably chose to upgrade right when the upgrade path was broken.
[05:35] <Onyx> anyone here use VMWare?
[05:35] <riotkittie> upgrading to it at this point... from a stable release is crazy.
[05:35] <jarrod__> KiD_ChAoS: plug it back in and saftly remove
[05:35] <r00723r0> nickrud: Anything I can do to get sudo working?
[05:36] <KiD_ChAoS> jarrod__, i just said when i DONT have access to a windows machine
[05:36] <cabrioleur> r00723r0: edit sudoers
[05:36] <r00723r0> cabrioleur: ...
[05:36] <riotkittie> cabrioleur: how's he supposed to edit sudoers when he cant use the sudo command?
[05:36] <horizxon> do you know what i should add to sudoers or RTFM?
[05:36] <jarrod__> KiD_ChAoS: okay, i forget the cmd for a force mount but you can do that possibly
[05:36] <riotkittie> i suppose booting into recov mode might help... but
[05:36] <cabrioleur> riotkittie: login in livecd, mount the drive, and edit from there.
[05:36] <riotkittie> whatever's borked is probably borked beyond the point he'll be able to repair it.
[05:37] <tuntun> How can I set apt-get to keep only the latest updates for use with APTonCD?
[05:37] <KiD_ChAoS> jarrod__, yeah i saw that but it never comes out right. i was thinking there might be a fix for Ubuntu that will do a force mount if necessary to mount the drive correctly
[05:38] <KiD_ChAoS> jarrod__, have you heard of something like this
[05:38] <KiD_ChAoS> jarrod__, it would be doing the same thing windows does, if the drive was last removed incorrectly windows doesn't care but Ubuntu does and it's annoying
[05:39] <riotkittie> i've seen windows care about that plenty of times. mmm. corrupted data.
[05:39] <jarrod__> KiD_ChAoS:  i had this problem with a seagate external HD. try googing your error it could be different for your dev
[05:39] <mjancaitis> Hi kids. Just need advice on how to mount a 16 gig NTFS flash drive if it never shows up in gparted or fdisk or anything; ideas?
[05:39] <KiD_ChAoS> mjancaitis, the drive is unallocated
[05:40] <KiD_ChAoS> jarrod__, i have a few devices i thought there might be a quick fix thanx though
[05:40] <cabrioleur> KiD_ChAoS: use fsck to fix problems.
[05:40] <mjancaitis> KiD_ChAoS: fixable?
[05:40] <spaxman> Can somebody help me with an ntfs driver question?
[05:40] <riotkittie> if it was unallocated, wouldnt it at least show in gparted?
[05:40] <cabrioleur> spaxman: shoot
[05:40] <KiD_ChAoS> yeah mjancaitis i know how to fix it in a windows box but im pretty new to Ubuntu
[05:41] <jarrod__> KiD_ChAoS: only quick fix is to make sure the drive is removed next time
[05:41] <KiD_ChAoS> cabrioleur, fsck from command line?
[05:41] <KiD_ChAoS> jarrod__, thanx
[05:41] <Randy_> how can i make ubuntu recognize my video card?
[05:41] <nickrud> RaNdY, what kind of video card?
[05:41] <spaxman> I'm using ubuntu 7.10 and the NTFS functionality appears to work pretty well.
[05:41] <riotkittie> Randy_: what is your video card?
[05:41] <javatexan> anyone here run vmware on ubuntu?
[05:42] <Onyx> javatexan: I'm running it
[05:42]  * nickrud raises his hand, hesitantly
[05:42] <cabrioleur> KiD_ChAoS: sure. You can use ntfsfix /dev/sdxx if it's ntfs
[05:42] <javatexan> with XP?
[05:42] <puertorro> Hello.  Im a noob to linux.  Does anyone know of a program that monitors system temperatures?
[05:42] <Onyx> javatexan: Yup
[05:42] <spaxman> However, I was using eclipse ide and opened a project that existed on my windows XP ntfs partition
[05:42] <nickrud> and drops it thankfully
[05:42] <ken_> hi
[05:42] <Randy_> i have a nvidia
[05:42] <Randy_> geforce
[05:42] <spaxman> it created a folder named "C:" on my NTFS file system.
[05:42] <javatexan> Onyx: are you using Windows on it...I need XP, I think
[05:43] <KiD_ChAoS> cabrioleur, xx being my drive like sda1?
[05:43] <Onyx> javatexan: Yes...
[05:43] <cabrioleur> KiD_ChAoS: yes
[05:43] <javatexan> Onyx: does it work okay or does it hopelessly drag the system down?
[05:43] <Onyx> javatexan: Works just fine for me (running it now)
[05:43] <puertorro> anybody got an app that reads cpu temperature and etc?
[05:44] <javatexan> Onyx: awesome....wow do you know of a coupon for vmware...LOL
[05:44] <fotoflo> !lamp |me
[05:44] <ubotu> me: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[05:44] <ken_> hey do u guys know what program there is on linux to list all your hardware devices?
[05:44] <ken_> sorta like device manager in windows
[05:44] <cabrioleur> spaxman: is the naming convention a problem?
[05:44] <riotkittie> javatexan: there are applets in gdesklets and adesklets that will do it. alternatively, load up Synaptic and search for sensors
[05:44] <Onyx> javatexan: see pm
[05:44] <KiD_ChAoS> cabrioleur, thanx
[05:45] <spaxman> It is when I try to work with that directory under WinXPPro
[05:45] <cabrioleur> spaxman: no panic. Just rename the directory...
[05:45] <puertorro> APP THAT READS CPU TEMPERATURE?
[05:45] <spaxman> "C:" is not really a legal name for a file or folder on an NTFS file system is it?
[05:45] <crushin_> !JEOS
[05:45] <Randy_> anyone knows how to make ubuntu recognize video card?
[05:45] <ubotu> JeOS (pronounced "Juice") is Just enough Operating System.  It is an efficient variant of the Ubuntu Server operating system, configured specifically for virtual appliances. See http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos for more information.
[05:46] <nickrud> spaxman, you can rename it , use C\:  (the backslash escapes the : , so you can change it)
[05:46] <cabrioleur> spaxman: no, but still you can rename it from linux.
[05:46] <spaxman> ubuntu handles it fine, but Windows chokes on it.
[05:46] <puertorro> douche...
[05:46] <lollydays> hey i'm trying to play a dvd in mplayer and i keep getting this error "error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device."  what should i do?
[05:46] <Onyx> javatexan: Or not?
[05:47] <puertorro> can anyone see what I am typing?
[05:47] <cabrioleur> spaxman: it's because special characters mean something for the system, not the fs. So yes, you can have some characters on ntfs, but windows itself will interpret them different way.
[05:47] <javatexan> Onyx: I responded...did you get it
[05:47] <nickrud> lollydays, try   mplayer -vo x11 <file>
[05:47] <ken_>  l
[05:47] <spaxman> I can rename the directory, or even delete it from ubuntu, so I have already taken care of the "symptom" of the problem
[05:48] <spaxman> I'm wondering if my problem indicates a possible bug in the ntfs file system driver in ubuntu
[05:48] <riotkittie> prdude: 1 - there are applets in gdesklets and adesklets that will do it. alternatively, load up Synaptic and search for sensors. 2 - behave.
[05:48] <prdude> anybody know of an app that monitors hardware temperatures?
[05:48] <prdude> oh ok. thanks
[05:48] <prdude> sorry
[05:48] <nickrud> spaxman, sounds more like either eclipse or user
[05:48] <spaxman> I don't think it should even allow a directory with an illegal name to be created.
[05:48] <nickrud> Randy_, what video card. nvidia is not enough
[05:49] <Randy_> gforce 8600
[05:49] <lollydays> nickrud: Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: avisynth.dll, /usr/lib/win32/avisynth.dll, /usr/local/lib/win32/avisynth.dll
[05:49] <Onyx> javatexan: Nope... right-click my nick and click Private Chat
[05:49] <javatexan> riotkittie: what do you mean "there are applets and gdesklets.....that will do it"
[05:50] <cabrioleur> prdude: for instance lsensors. A lot of different software. ACPI modules will be responsible for that.
[05:50] <riotkittie> javatexan: never mind. was misdirected and meant for someone else.
[05:50] <cabrioleur> prdude: thermal.ko I think.
[05:50] <javatexan> apparently I cant yet...hold on
[05:50] <prdude> cool.  thanks ppls
[05:51] <kr00l> anyone know how to install mythtv for ubuntu?
[05:51] <jarrod__> sometimes ... often my compe freezes and i can only use my mouse. i have to hard reset, no ctrl-alt-backspace. my research tells me its faulty ram... but soon with all these resets it will be my HD...
[05:51] <spaxman> You are right, I did encounter the error while using eclipse, but I wouldn't expect eclipse to know or care about whatt type of file system it is interacting with. I would think that the file-system driver would be responsible for throwing an error on the invalid name and not let eclipse create the directory.
[05:51] <sammysez> any success configuring FinePoint tablet with gutsy? (Gateway CX2726)
[05:52] <cabrioleur> jarrod__: it's tricky. If it's ram, your linux box will be erratic. In the new kernel I saw a new module to operate linux with faulty ram. Maybe you can compile it?
[05:52] <kr00l> can someone help me install mythtv?
[05:52] <cabrioleur> kr00l: did you read howto?
[05:53] <nickrud> !codec | lollydays (I think this is your problem)
[05:53] <ubotu> lollydays (I think this is your problem): 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
[05:53] <kr00l> cabrioleur: just says that i need more dependencies
[05:53] <nickrud> lollydays, argh! bad factoid, bad!
[05:53] <linuxfce> kr00l in terminal type sudo apt-get install mythtv
[05:53] <lollydays> ok, no problem
[05:53] <linuxfce> oh, dependencys, have fun

[05:53] <jarrod__> cabrioleur: how can i be sure of it being the ram? it freezes normally right away or after 15 hours almost never in between
[05:54] <nickrud> lollydays, you need some extra codecs to play that i think
[05:54] <lollydays> nickrud: ok i'll try that out.  thanks
[05:54] <riotkittie> jarrod__: run memtest.
[05:54] <spaxman> Any more thoughts on the c: subdirectory name on ntfs?
[05:54] <nickrud> Randy_, I don't run nvidia, so you should ask about setting up nvidia 8600 on ubuntu, you're likely to catch more fish with that bait
[05:55] <kjp2> oh for the life of me I can't get mysql to let me in.
[05:55] <Randy_> k
[05:55] <katharos> Sepheebear, hatter_, no joy. :(
[05:56] <spaxman> guess not. Just was curious if it was worth pursuing with a bug report or something
[05:56] <cabrioleur> jarrod__: try http://freshmeat.net/projects/rumt/ to test it from linux
[05:56] <the_darkside_986> hi everyone. i am using Banshee, which I obtained via Add/Remove (package manager). but does anyone know how to effectively delete all songs from my library? i tried Ctrl+A and then clicking "Remove from library" but that only crashes the app. and the songs are still there... ???
[05:56] <nickrud> Randy_, and when you're typing at a person, you should use their nick in the line. It shows up red, so people won't miss it. If you install xchat, you'll get the same benefit
[05:57] <the_darkside_986> also, i tried deleting the banshee folder in .gconfd and reinstalling Banshee but they are still there :(
[05:57] <linuxfce> what can i do to make ubuntu faster? I have disabled a lot of stuff and removed a lot, anything else i can do?
[05:57] <cabrioleur> the_darkside_986: you can remove the configuration files.
[05:57] <cabrioleur> the_darkside_986: find banshee folder in .gnome2
[05:58] <nickrud> the_darkside_986, delete the banshee directory in ~/.config
[05:58] <sonja> i switched users, and now my colours are all wonky! how to i reset my video display ?
[05:58] <lollydays> nickrud: i'm still getting the error
[05:58] <r00723r0> Where is my kernel, on the hard disk?
[05:58] <cabrioleur> linuxfce, like your name, try xfce or even fluxbox.
[05:58] <nickrud> lollydays, not sure then. I generally use vlc these days, fewer issues
[05:58] <nickrud> r00723r0, /boot
[05:58] <r00723r0> I'm sorry, I mean my modules.
[05:59] <linuxfce> lol i use xfce frequently
[05:59] <lollydays> nickrud: ok thanks anyway
[05:59] <r00723r0> I completely forgot. :(
[05:59] <nickrud> r00723r0, /lib/modules
[05:59] <cabrioleur> r00723r0: modules are in /lib/modules/2.6.xxx
[05:59] <r00723r0> Ahh, alright.
[05:59] <the_darkside_986> thanks everyone. deleting banshee from ~/.config worked!
[06:00] <tonsofpcs> anyone know how to get an alternate keyboard layout working [in gnome on ubuntu feisty fawn]?  I keep getting "Error activating XKB configuration."
[06:00] <linuxfce> what do i type in terminal to get it to tell me what kernel version i am using
[06:00] <katharos> how do i generate a /dev/video0 for my tv tuner card?
[06:00] <Linuxchix0r> uname -a
[06:00] <linuxfce> thanks
[06:00] <cabrioleur> linuxfce: you can compile your own kernel with all the optimum options for your cpu, and remove the rest of unneeded stuff.
[06:01] <tonsofpcs> the outputs of xprop and gconftool-2 show that the changes are applied, but how do I switch layouts?
[06:01] <r00723r0> What's the module for wired ethernet?
[06:01] <nickrud> save a meg or two of memory that way
[06:01] <earthling> in ubuntu after intalling a new software how can we find what changes the new installation made?
[06:01] <nickrud> r00723r0, that will depend on your card, there are dozens of modules
[06:01] <pvl> tonofpcs: whats thi relating to?
[06:01] <r00723r0> Onboard nVidia nForce 4 Ultra drivers.
[06:01] <linuxfce> carbioleur, that is a good idea. i have taken a backwards approach to that, since its easy, but for obvious reasons your idea is better
[06:02] <j_medic78> I'm having a weird issue. I run Feisty, and one night I was unable to connect to the internet. Network Manager was still showing connection to the LAN, and I could see wireless networks, but no connectivity. I got frustrated and did a clean install, still not working. I dual boot with vista, and my hardware is working fine there. I have an Intel ProWireless 3495 and Broadcom 440x 10/100. I'm...
[06:02] <j_medic78> ...stumped
[06:02] <nickrud> tonsofpcs, have you added the keyboard swither applet to your panel?
[06:02] <pvl> earthling, well it dpends on what kind of app
[06:02] <tonsofpcs> nickrud: nope
[06:02] <horizxon> Ive messed up my sudoers file and now I cant change it back!
[06:03] <nickrud> tonsofpcs, and by the way, that's about all I know about alternate keyboard layouts
[06:03] <tonsofpcs> :)
[06:03] <horizxon> its not letting me do any sudo
[06:03] <katharos> j_medic78, have you only recently set up the dual boot?
[06:03] <horizxon> i cant sudo visudo any more
[06:03] <nickrud> horizxon, you'll have to do it by booting into recovery mode. And, never edit /etc/sudoers except by using visudo
[06:03] <r00723r0> Anyone know the module for the ethernet on the onboard nVidia nForce 4 Ultra?
[06:03] <pvl> j_medic78, is it connected through lan? because u could be connected on LAN, but your computer might not be trying to connect to the internet through it
[06:03] <horizxon> i did use visudo
[06:03] <nickrud> horizxon, visudo will do some sanity checking for you .... oh
[06:04] <earthling> pv1: for example i install say amarok using symantec. how can i trace out where the new files have been placed?
[06:04] <j_medic78> katharos: no, I've been dual booting on this notebook since june
[06:04] <horizxon> it let me save it as the sudoers file so i did
[06:04] <nickrud> horizxon, just what did you change?
[06:04] <katharos> j_medic78, just checking you weren't having the same problem i had a while back
[06:04] <horizxon> it asked me to save as a sudoers.tmp and I told it not to
[06:04] <cabrioleur> r00723r0: just type "sudo lspci | grep Ethernet"
[06:04] <j_medic78> pvl: i'm in a spot now where I only have wireless access, but I can't connect to that either. it just keeps asking for the network key
[06:04] <cabrioleur> r00723r0: it will tell you what you have
[06:05] <nickrud> horizxon, but what did you change in the file?
[06:05] <horizxon> I added the line ALL ALL=NOPASSWD:mount -t smbfs, umount
[06:05] <katharos> can anyone tell me how i can generate a /dev/video0 for my tv tuner card?
[06:05] <pvl> j_medic78, and your entering the correct key?
[06:05] <magic_ninja> !resolution

[06:05] <darkblue_B> Boot Q: I have an external dsk with a fresh UB 7.1, it boots, but gets lost on the video.. I am now booted on an install CD, and can see the boot disk. How do I tell the boot disk to use Safe Graphics Mode??
[06:05] <cabrioleur> katharos: what is your tuner, what modules you have loaded for?
[06:05] <nickrud> horizxon, boot into recovery mode, and remove that change
[06:06] <horizxon> how do I boot into recovery mode?
[06:06] <katharos> it's a bt878 and when i've used it before, there's magically been a /dev/video0 for it upon install
[06:06] <tonsofpcs> nickrud: any clue what the package name is?
[06:06] <nickrud> horizxon, if you're lucky, ls -a  will show sudoers~  (the backup)
[06:06] <j_medic78> pvl: i'm entering the correct key
[06:06] <nickrud> horizxon, reboot, when you see something about grub, hit escape and select the recovery boot option
[06:06] <cabrioleur> j_medic78: change from auto to tk..
[06:06] <r00723r0> cabrioleur: I know what I have. It doesn't tell me the module.
[06:06] <horizxon> ok thanks
[06:07] <cabrioleur> r00723r0: so tell me what you have and I'll tell you the modules
[06:07] <nickrud> tonsofpcs, right click the panel, select add to panel, look for keyboard indicator
[06:07] <katharos> cabrioleur, it's a bt878 and i added it after i installed ubuntu, when i used it before i magically had a /dev/video0 when i installed ubuntu
[06:07] <r00723r0> cabrioleur: nVidia CK804.
[06:07] <tonsofpcs> ah, thanks :)
[06:08] <CoasterMaster> how can I measure how long it takes a program to run on my machine?
[06:08] <biff420> what is the best way to convert a .jpeg to a .png in ubuntu?
[06:08] <nickrud> katharos, try  sudo modprobe bt878 , see if the device shows up
[06:08] <katharos> cabrioleur, i've tried following the instructions to load a module for it, but it invariably causes my maching to freeze when booting
[06:08] <darkblue_B> CoasterMas: run fro the command line: time <cmd>
[06:09] <nickrud> CoasterMaster, time <command>
[06:09] <katharos> nickrud, nothing shows up
[06:09] <CoasterMaster> nickrud, thanks
[06:09] <nickrud> katharos, ah, that's the module for it. I was kinda avoiding your question, but when you mentioned the device type, I said, well, why not?
[06:10] <bobgill> What's the best method to run Windows XP from within Ubuntu?
[06:10] <selig5> .
[06:10] <katharos> nickrud, so you dont know how to add the module for it?
[06:10] <Linuxchix0r> bobgill, a virtual machine like virtual box or vmwae
[06:10] <nickrud> katharos, no. That's the right module if that's the right card. Does your card show up in lspci in a terminal?
[06:10] <katharos> nickrud, year
[06:10] <tonsofpcs> gah, how do i set up keyboard switchingA?
[06:10] <katharos> nickrud, *yeah
[06:11] <j_medic78> sorry if i didn't answer anything. got disconnected
[06:11] <initx> anyone know if it's possible to "ban" modal dialogs in Gnome/GTK?
[06:11] <bobgill> Linuxchix0r: thanks
[06:11] <initx> i.e. make them all non modal, no matter what
[06:11] <pvl> j_medic78, have you checkd if you card is supported?
[06:11] <nickrud> katharos, someday I will buy a tv card, and then I'll actually know instead of make lame guesses
[06:11] <cabrioleur> r00723r0: forcedeath.ko
[06:12] <j_medic78> pvl: it's a supported card. It had been working fine for months. i don't get it
[06:12] <cabrioleur> r00723r0: sorry, forcedeth.ko
[06:12] <r00723r0> Aye, thanks.
[06:12] <katharos> nickrud, that's ok, thanx
[06:12] <cabrioleur> katharos: do you have any logs?
[06:12] <EnderTheThird> Is there a .deb for the 169.07 nvidia driver yet?  I installed manually before, but every time I rebooted I had to reinstall the driver manually, which got old really fast.
[06:12] <katharos> cabrioleur, i have no idea
[06:12] <pvl> j_medic78, ok and did it randomly stop working? or did something change prior to it stopping
[06:12] <sarah> hi when i install flash i get mdt failed flash plugin not installed
[06:13] <cabrioleur> katharos: did you have any errors when you are trying to load the module manually?
[06:13] <sarah> md4
[06:13] <EnderTheThird> sarah, 32 or 64 bit?
[06:13] <sarah> 32
[06:13] <katharos> cabrioleur, i dont know where to look for the logs
[06:14] <EnderTheThird> sarah:  did you use the ubuntu installer that comes up when you view a page that has flash?
[06:14] <greentea> How i make ubuntu deskt 1 and desk 2 with different wallpaper?
[06:14] <j_medic78> pvl: my comp just randomly decided not to deal with the internet anymore. the only thing I can think of that was different is that I recently installed virtualbox, and was using a vm with windows 2000 on the internet
[06:14] <cabrioleur> katharos: open terminal and type "sudo modprobe bttv". It might hang, and it might not.
[06:14] <cabrioleur> katharos: but It may show something valuable as well.
[06:15] <sarah> nosudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[06:15] <nickrud> !brokenflash | sarah
[06:15] <ubotu> sarah: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[06:15] <pvl> j_medic78, ok gotcha. so you can't connect through LAN or wifi?
[06:15] <sarah> yhx
[06:15] <sarah> thx
[06:15] <katharos> cabrioleur, i removed the files that were meant to add the module, so i'll put them back and then try that
[06:15] <EnderTheThird> sarah:  you can also manually copy the file to your plugins folder and remove it when the official fix comes out
[06:16] <j_medic78> pvl: nope. I can't connect through either. But I can see wifi networks
[06:16] <EnderTheThird> sarah:  the file being libflashplayer.so that comes with the flash tar file you download from adobe
[06:16] <Lapinux> anyone here use "linux32" app?
[06:16] <wers> what folder contains rhythmbox's configuration files?
[06:16] <Lagginator> hallo
[06:16] <Arrick> hey all, I have a ubuntu 6.06.1 SERVER install running apache 2.0.55 and I need to get the mod_rewrite enabled on it, can someone tell me how, without telling me to check on apache.org?
[06:16] <Lagginator> I need some halp
[06:17] <Lapinux> Arrick: you might also try #apache
[06:17] <Arrick> Lapinux: you want my responce from in there?
[06:17] <Lapinux> lol
[06:17] <Lapinux> probably not
[06:17] <pvl> j_medic78, say, did u only try connecting to your own router? or have you tried another?
[06:18] <Lagginator> can somebody tell me how long it takes ubuntu to install?
[06:18] <Lapinux> anyone here running ubuntu 64bit know how one would go about getting flash plugin?
 Arrick: it's not the bot that has the docs, it's httpd.apache.org<Arrick> Apache version 2.0.55
 go there and browse, they should have docs for 2.0.x
[06:18] <cabrioleur> Lagginator: 20-60 min, depends from hardware.
[06:18] <Arrick> thats what I got in there Lapinux
[06:18] <Lagginator> =/ mines been going about two hours
[06:18] <cabrioleur> Lapinux: go to adobe website, they have it.
[06:18] <katharos> cabrioleur, it doesnt appear to do anything
[06:18] <nickrud> Arrick, http://josh.st/blog/2005/03/06/ubuntu-apache-and-making-mod_rewrite-happy
[06:18] <Lapinux> cabrioleur: i dont see 64bit flash
[06:18] <Arrick> thanks nickrud
[06:19] <nickrud> Arrick, I haven't used it, but the comments were happy
[06:19] <cabrioleur> Lapinux: there is no 64bit flash :-( but there is a wrapper
[06:19] <j_medic78> pvl: only this router. It's not mine, and I don't have access to it. It's sort of like an internet cafe type setup. i was in a spot where i could plug into an ethernet cable for internet access, but I move around a lot!
[06:19] <Lapinux> cabrioleur: linux32?
[06:19] <cabrioleur> Lapinux: or you can install 32 bit firefox
[06:19] <cabrioleur> katharos: check if it doesn't work now.
[06:20] <jarrod__> is there a free alternative to freerite
[06:20] <pvl> j_medic78, cuz sometimes this problem can be fixed with a simple reset of the router, but this doesn't seem to be the case. hold on a sec
[06:20] <katharos> cabrioleur, there is still no /dev/video*
[06:20] <jarrod__> is there a free alternative to spinrite**
[06:20] <bundagan> i'm accessing a samba share, but it keeps bugging me for user name and passwd, the other maching is also ubuntu, after giving same user name and passwd (as the sharing machine), it opens the folder and says 'contents can not be displayed'
[06:20] <Lapinux> cabrioleur: i just read where someone had to install 32bit firefox but then adobe flash failed to install because it checks the os, which says its 64bit, so he had to use "linux32" app to fool it, the thing is if i install linux32 app it wants to remove ubuntu-minimal which i need?
[06:21] <horizxon> what line in sudoers would give my user account the ability to mount and umount without being prompted for a password? I tried "eddie ALL=NOPASSWD:mount,umount" but it didnt work
[06:21] <katharos> cabrioleur, i think it will still hang on boot, but is there a way to get it to attempt to load the module without rebooting
[06:21] <cabrioleur> Lapinux: install nspluginwrapper - it allows to install 32 flash in 64 firefox.
[06:21] <cabrioleur> katharos: the module is loaded if you did the command I told you.
[06:22] <horizxon> how would I script mounts?
[06:22] <sarah> enderthethrid works :)
[06:22] <atarinox> does anybody know why my volume control buttons on my Thinkpad no longer work after upgrading to Gutsy?
[06:22] <Lapinux> cabrioleur: i checked synaptic, it says its installed... how do i use it?
[06:22] <katharos> cabrioleur, oh.
[06:22] <Lapinux> cabrioleur: or should it just work?
[06:22] <EnderTheThird> Lapinux:  this script worked fine for me too:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=476924
[06:23] <toplok> how to activate the ssh server in ubuntu ?
[06:23] <EnderTheThird> sarah:  you got it working then?
[06:23] <katharos> cabrioleur, shouldn't that mean there's a /dev/video0 ?
[06:23] <toplok> I want to connect to my pc from another computer
[06:23] <cabrioleur> Lapinux: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=341727
[06:24] <sarah> ya
[06:24] <Sepheebear> katharos: what's the output of `dmesg | grep bttv`?
[06:24] <timfrost> toplok: you need to install the ssh-server package (openssh-server) on the machine you want to connect TO
[06:24] <Sepheebear> katharos: does that say anything about which tuner your using?
[06:25] <timfrost> !info openssh-server | toplok

[06:27] <toplok> thx!
[06:27] <katharos> cabrioleur, i totally didn't understand what you just said
[06:28] <lcphr3ak> Hey, I've just setup a CS server, and it's working fine. I want to load it as a service however, and it's not working out so well. I'm using screen, but when I log in to find the screen, or use the server, it doesn't find anything. As in, I make a screen script, and use rc.local to load it on boot. I see text on the actual monitor to the server (the script echo's the text), but no server. Is there something special I must do?
[06:28] <Sepheebear> katharos: tuner type 4 is no tuner. should that be correct?
[06:28] <cabrioleur> katharos: sorry for that, I messed up the message.
[06:29] <katharos> Sepheebear, i dont know what you mean
[06:29] <osmosis> these instructions dont seem to work, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingInternetExplorer
[06:29] <cabrioleur> katharos: lol, my isp is blocking pastbin :-) jokers.
[06:30] <cabrioleur> katharos, check if you have /dev/vbi or /dev/vbi0
[06:30] <Sepheebear> katharos: i mean the tv tuner type. did you set that manually or is that the autodetected value
[06:30] <cabrioleur> Sepheebear: It's autodetected value.
[06:31] <Sepheebear> katharos: what files have you edited to get this far? did you create an /etc/modprobe.d/bttv file to do this?
[06:31] <king> anyone ever have any issues with network-admin and setting up a wireless connection manually (non-dhcp)
[06:31] <katharos> cabrioleur, no, not there
[06:31] <king> thing is driving me crazy
[06:31] <katharos> Sepheebear, that's right
[06:31] <katharos> Sepheebear, tho i had no idea what i was doing

[06:31] <Sepheebear> katharos: can you pastebin that
[06:32] <horizxon> how do I allow other users to mount?

[06:35] <twitch> how can I log an ubuntu computer into a windows domain?

[06:40] <tuntun>  I was wondering how I could download all the updates for gutsy for the purpose of offline updating multiple machines?
[06:40]  * AK_Kenny is away: I'm busy
[06:41] <crimsun> tuntun: aptoncd.
[06:42] <katharos> Sepheebear, ok, i did that and then ran `sudo modprobe bttv` again and as far as i can tell nothing has changed
[06:43] <Sepheebear> katharos: after you modprobe bttv check `dmesg`
[06:43] <neil_d> tuntun: one thing that works is if you link all the '/var/cache/apt/archives' to the one place, and do the updates one at a time.  The first one downloads the rest skip that step.
[06:44] <katharos> Sepheebear, it's says the same stuff it was saying before
[06:44] <horizxon> I know its not good style, but how can I send the sudo password on the command line?
[06:45] <horizxon> is it even possible?
[06:45] <bruenig> horizxon, no
[06:45] <bruenig> horizxon, if you want to be able to use sudo without a password, you need to edit the sudoers file with visudo
[06:46] <horizxon> after editing, the changes should go into effect immmediately or would i have to restart something?
