[09:34] <Lam_> gbrent: probably not
[09:34] <dmnd> lmh: start with a low resolution first and built up higher, or your hsync and vsync is wrong in xorg.conf
[09:34] <kelly__> this is fun
[09:34] <TSWoodV> gbrent: If you can't ssh in as root or another account that has sudo ability, you're pretty much toast...
[09:34] <kelly__> i need help with frostwire
[09:34] <lmh> dmnd: i tried that, probably the driver makes a prob?
[09:34] <n3rdism> how i haxor?
[09:35] <Skwid_> how can i solve character problems in my fat32 mounted windows partition ?
[09:35] <TSWoodV> gbrent: Advice:  Always have a back door of some sort.
[09:35] <Skwid_> (french accents)
[09:35] <lmh> dmnd: no (EE) section in Log-File
[09:35] <kelly__> i shall go back to windows
[09:35] <n3rdism> f10 gets unlimited amo
[09:35] <sioux> who fixed the x-mplayer2 plug-in for firefox2?
[09:35] <gbrent> TSWoodV: Yeah that is what I was figuring. So once I boot in recovery I use visudo to edit the suddoers file correct?
[09:35] <TSWoodV> gbrent: Right.
[09:36] <n3rdism> lol ok back to work :D
[09:36] <gbrent> TSWOOD: is that /etc/suddoers?
[09:36] <lmh> dmnd: another idea?
[09:36] <lmh> anybody else an idea?
[09:36] <Lam_> gbrent: how'd you take yourself off the sudoer's list without knowing what file it was?
[09:36] <TSWoodV> gbrent: Yep.  Use the "visudo" command.  It'll pick the right file and handle any concurrency issues (not that you'll have any in recovery mode, however).
[09:37] <Zaehlas> ?
[09:37] <gbrent> Lam_: Not sure. I remember doing a bunch of usermods and I was changing groups around an I think I changed my group
[09:37] <lmh> Nobody an idea?
[09:38] <lmh> I found no known prob about AMD64 and Matrox
[09:38] <lmh> (mga - xorg driver)
[09:38] <Gh0sty> lmh: could it be that frequency is too high for you monitor?
[09:38] <gbrent> Lam_: By default, the main user you set up.... what groups are they a part of?
[09:38] <Gh0sty> i had  that too with my dualscreen ... :/
[09:38] <compengi> what's the command from with i will download all the packages needed for a certain program?
[09:38] <Lam_> gbrent: they are part of their own group.  if your username was "ubuntu", you'd be defaulted into an "ubuntu" group
[09:39] <gbrent> compengi: apt-get install programname
[09:39] <eloque> sup people
[09:39] <Gh0sty> lmh: otherwise try in grub to add a parameter like vga=xxx
[09:39] <lmh> Gh0sty: don't think so, tried a lot of resolutions, have a LCD which tells me "out of video resolution...)
[09:39] <Richard__> urgghhh I need help with mythtv :(
[09:39] <compengi> gbrent, not this one
[09:39] <Gh0sty> with xxx some number but i dont know by head ...
[09:39] <gbrent> Lam_: sweet. I think I changed myself to the root group
[09:39] <Skwid_> what files do i need to share to get data between linux and windows ?
[09:39] <TSWoodV> Zaehlas: There's a lot of places to look in "/" for stuff.  It could be that you've got a process that's using up /tmp as fast as you empty it.
[09:39] <Gh0sty> lmh: or is it a dual head card maybe?
[09:39] <Lam_> compengi: if you're going to compile a program, use apt-get build-dep programname to get developer files
[09:39] <lmh> Gh0sty: on console works wonderfully, only gnome not
[09:40] <Gh0sty> otherwise it takes you secondary maybe as the standard?
[09:40] <eloque> anybody here ran ubuntu as a virtual machine from windows? (being that i have ubuntu installed on a local partition and dont wanna run it as a live cd)
[09:40] <Gh0sty> ah :/
[09:40] <lmh> Gh0sty: is a dualhead, yes
[09:40] <compengi> Lam_, yeah that's what i wanted thanks
[09:40] <TSWoodV> Zaehlas: Do this.  Run "du -sk /" .  It'll take a while, but you just might find out which directory or directories is eating your disk space.
[09:40] <ziopeppe> hey! anyone can help me? i have a problem when i turn off my pc. My pc doesn't shut, it block at the end of the process. The last comand on the screen is "will now halt" (sorry 4 my english
[09:40] <lmh> Gh0sty: both are connected
[09:40] <Gh0sty> ah ok :p
[09:40] <Gh0sty> damn :)
[09:40] <Gh0sty> well i had the prob that my first gave: out of sync
[09:40] <Gh0sty> and the second did not show a  thing
[09:40] <RvGaTe> Does ubuntu automaticly detect and setup dual screen?
[09:41] <gbrent> Lam_:
[09:41] <gbrent> gbrent:x:1000:root
[09:41] <Lam_> RvGaTe: I would say no, but i'm not entirely sure
[09:41] <wweasel> ziopeppe: How new is this computer, i.e. does it support automatic shutdown
[09:41] <Gh0sty> i installed newer drivers and did a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:41] <TSWoodV> Zaehlas: Also run a "df" and show me the result.
[09:41] <wweasel> RvGaTe: No.
[09:41] <Gh0sty> that fixed my probs :/
[09:41] <lmh> Gh0sty: where can i find newer drivers?
[09:41] <c00i90wn> Hey, I'm trying to find the following package without luck "cyrus-sasl", any ideas?
[09:41] <ziopeppe> is an old pc ww
[09:41] <RvGaTe> Lam_, wweasel maybe a suggestion to implement that then :P
[09:41] <Gh0sty> lmh: dont know for your card, mune is nvidia :p
[09:41] <ziopeppe> pentium 3 10 Giga 128 Mb
[09:41] <lmh> Gh0sty: the drivers from the matrox page only work with Xfree86
[09:42] <Gh0sty> installed the real nvidia driver in stead of the reverse engineered nv :/
[09:42] <czer323> TSWoodV, i just realized also, that if i do a network install, i'll need it to recognize the pcmcia bus and the atheros card in it. :-\  It's too old to have a built in ethernet.
[09:42] <lmh> Gh0sty: instead of xorg
[09:42] <gbrent> LAM: from what I see here: gbrent:x:1000:root   that needs to become gbrent:x:1000:root, gbrent     or it needs to become   gbrent:x:1000:gbrent
[09:42] <Gh0sty> ah that sux :/
[09:42] <Gh0sty> no ports of those drivers in backports or something?
[09:42] <lmh> Gh0sty: but the desktop - CD works wonderfully...!
[09:42] <lmh> Gh0sty: no
[09:42] <lmh> Gh0sty: not found
[09:43] <ouroboros> <-- hopeful for help... forums not helping.  uvc video problem.  site says it's supported, uvc compiles and modprobe's fine, but error in dmesg.
[09:43] <TSWoodV> czer323: Look at http://mywheel.net/blog/index.php/ubuntu-network-install/ for a network install of Ubuntu.
[09:43] <Gh0sty> hmm :/
[09:43] <Gh0sty> should be a difference somehow
[09:43] <Richard__> a user was added by mythtv but it doesnt show up in "users and groups"
[09:43] <Richard__> how can I put it there?
[09:43] <NemoXP> hello
[09:43] <NemoXP> some romanians here?
[09:43] <Gh0sty> i had to start the cd also with another resolution ...
[09:43] <Gh0sty> did strange things with my dualscreen
[09:43] <TSWoodV> gbrent: What were you trying to do with these changes you've made?
[09:43] <shwag> Anyone know the procedure for doing a OS replacement on a remote server? Usually I just rsync the whole filesystem over, with the exception of /sys /proc and /dev , then sometime have to generate a new /dev, fix grub, and configure the network interface.
[09:43] <Gh0sty> looked like it recognized both screens as one large screen
[09:44] <Gh0sty> so it put one screen fairly above normal sync rate ...
[09:44] <lmh> Gh0sty: works wonderful with 1600x1200 @ 60Hz (LCD)
[09:44] <Gizmo_the_Great1> this is odd. I have an Ubuntu machine called 'mainunit' with an SMB share called 'vfat'. I have two laptops. Ubuntu on one, Windows on the other. The Windows laptop can access the vfat share. But I can't access it from the Ubuntu laptop. Any ideas?
[09:44] <TSWoodV> Richard__: How did you install mythtv?  All of the installs I've seen lately create the mythtv user.
[09:44] <Richard__> packages
[09:44] <Richard__> a user is created but it wont show up in the users gui tool
[09:44] <gbrent> TSWoodV, Lam_: I figured it out... the admin group looks like this: admin:x:114:  and I need to make it look like this admin:x:114:gbrent
[09:44] <Zaehlas> TSWoodv: sorry, was AFK for a bit, scrolled up, and read your suggestions.  ok.  gimme a sec, and I'll get the outputs of those commands.
[09:45] <NemoXP> witch is the wikipedia channel ??
[09:45] <lmh> Gh0sty: Whom could i ask for help next?
[09:45] <TSWoodV> shwag:  apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade after reconfiguring the repos is a valid technique for upgrading between releases.
[09:45] <TSWoodV> gbrent: That's correct.
[09:45] <gbrent> TSWoodV: I was trying to make me apart of the root group also or something. It was a week ago and I just left it alone for a while
[09:45] <shwag> TSWoodV: how do I upgrade a remote machine from redhat to ubuntu ?
[09:45] <lmh> Gh0sty: or WHERE could i ask if not here?
[09:45] <ziopeppe> anyway 28-wweasel- i don't know if the system support the automatic shut down
[09:46] <ziopeppe> could you help me?
[09:46] <gbrent> TSWoodV: is this action also going to require the recovery console?
[09:46] <mr_daniel> I have installed the 'ipsec-tools' with synatpric. what I have to do to establish a vpn-connection? which commands I have to use and where I can find relevant man-pages ?
[09:46] <gbrent> TSWoodV: can I just boot off a live cd and change it?
[09:46] <lmh> anybody else an idea for my prob?
[09:46] <Alllleexx> Anyone in here have Apple Shake installed?
[09:46] <TSWoodV> gbrent: You weren't far off, if you were running a distro like Fedora.  But for a sudo-based distro that typically doesn't assign a password directly to root, however, the key is the admin group in /etc/sudoers, as you now know.
[09:46] <wweasel> ziopeppe: Can you tell me how old it is/what processor architecture (Pentium 1, Pentium 2, etc.)
[09:46] <rockrhino> mr_daniel what kind of vpn conecntrator are you connecting to?
[09:47] <ziopeppe> ok -wweasel- pentium 3
[09:47] <Sonderblade> how can i install the correct codecs to make totem play wmv?
[09:47] <TSWoodV> gbrent: Yep.  Just mount the / filesystem (if the live distro doesn't do that for you) and fix it.
[09:47] <ziopeppe> p3 10 Gb Hd 128 Mb Ram
[09:47] <TSWoodV> gbrent: Either a Ubuntu Live CD or Knoppix or any other live and/or recovery distro should work.
[09:47] <sgirc> hi all
[09:47] <gbrent> TSWoodV: cool thanks man. Im doing that over lunch when i get home.
[09:47] <lehaid> hi
[09:47] <wweasel> ziopeppe: Hmmm...that's around the time of the switch, though I'd imagine that it should be able to shutdown all by itself
[09:48] <lehaid> i'm wondering, if i want to compile the ubuntu kernel to an image with the same settings the offical one gets, where can i find information on that ?
[09:48] <TSWoodV> gbrent: You're welcome.
[09:48] <mr_daniel> rockrhino: what you mean with 'vpn concentrator'? do you mean the specific gateway I want to connect with?
[09:48] <afflux> any ideas how to get nautilus to automount ntfs drives with ntfs-3g?
[09:48] <lumpki> if i install kubuntu-desktop onto my ubuntu system... will the kubuntu part get security updates and such?
[09:48] <Gizmo_the_Great1> this is odd. I have an Ubuntu machine called 'mainunit' with an SMB share called 'vfat'. I have two laptops. Ubuntu on one, Windows on the other. The Windows laptop can access the vfat share. But I can't access it from the Ubuntu laptop. I have enabled my user account on the linux laptop using smbpasswd -e ted. Any ideas?
[09:48] <sgirc> I have a problem to set up an adsl connection with my edgy
[09:48] <wweasel> ziopeppe: Did you have windows on it before/did it shutdown fine with windows? How about a LiveCD?
[09:48] <Richard__> I only get a dollar sign when I open a terminal (with user mythtv)
[09:48] <ziopeppe> with windows was ok
[09:49] <mr_daniel> rockrhino: the vpn-concentrator is 'fbivpn.informatik.uni-hamburg.de'
[09:49] <Richard__> I would like to be able to scroll through comands with that user :'-(
[09:49] <ziopeppe> i never use liveCd
[09:49] <jjob> I'm having a problem with mplayer plugin in firefox. With some websites it will only allow me to view a video once and then it won't play anyother video on the site untill about an hour has gone by. Any ideas about this?
[09:49] <soundray> Gizmo_the_Great1: I think you need to do the smbpasswd maneouvre on mainunit
[09:49] <lmh> anybody here who knows XORG ?
[09:49] <wweasel> ziopeppe: Alright. If it's not working as a fault of Ubuntu, that's as far as I go. It should have been set up automatically and properly on install, and if it didn't then I'm not really qualified to help you
[09:49] <wweasel> lmh: what in particular?
[09:49] <rockrhino> mr_daniel: I sent you a private message explaining what I meant.
[09:50] <ziopeppe> ok....Thank U 28-wweasel-
[09:50] <Gizmo_the_Great1> soundray: i did that originally i think to enable my windows laptop to connect. so i can't do that again as it's already valid?
[09:50] <sgirc> my ISP is using PPPOA, I ran pppd with debug mode, it seems that my ISP peer doesnt respond to the PPP config request primitive
[09:50] <sgirc> any idea ?
[09:51] <Daviey> how can i downgrade a package?
[09:51] <soundray> Daviey: man dpkg
[09:51] <boink> !downgrade
[09:51] <ubotu> Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system.
[09:51] <lmh> wweasel: Ubuntu 6.10 Desktop CD works wonderfully, after installation xorg shows a black screen
[09:51] <boink> ooops
[09:51] <uksprout> hi all
[09:51] <Dreamglider> i need help with wireless connetion pleas, i have ubuntu 6.10
[09:51] <boink> wireless in 6.10 is broken.
[09:52] <sgirc> I tried to run tcpdump to get a more precise output, but i seem to don't see LLC protocol ?
[09:52] <trappist> boink: huh?
[09:52] <boink> though, I got my working today
[09:52] <Daviey> boink, i only want to downgrade a package, not ubuntu itself
[09:52] <boink> yes, wireless in 6.10 is broken
[09:52] <sgirc> I tried to run tcpdump to get a more precise output, but it seems to don't see LLC protocol ?
[09:52] <soundray> Gizmo_the_Great1: how are you trying to mount the mainunit share on the ubuntu laptop?
[09:52] <Dreamglider> and a X-Micro usb adaper (drivers installed and ok i think)
[09:52] <wweasel> lmh: I
[09:52] <TSWoodV> boink: Try telling that to the three different 6.10 laptops with different chipsets I'm running wireless on.
[09:52] <soundray> Daviey: dpkg has a force-downgrade option
[09:52] <Daviey> soundray, yeah man is great - but i wanted help
[09:52] <wweasel> lmh: I can't help, in that situation I would come here for help. Sorry :P
[09:52] <trappist> boink: I'm sure there are some bugs, but that statement is false.
[09:52] <sgirc> I am using an usb adsl modem
[09:52] <boink> and tell that to me, with a netgear wt511T
[09:52] <sgirc> but I don"t think it matters
[09:52] <boink> that statement isn't false. it's from my own experience.
[09:52] <uksprout> having problems with intermittent sound earlier today the sound was ok I have rebooted and the sound is not working, this has happend a few times over the past few days
[09:52] <jjob> wireless works fine for me on my laptop with 6.10
[09:53] <TSWoodV> boink: Got that exact card running in both a Toshiba and an old Thinkpad.
[09:53] <Gizmo_the_Great1> soundray: places - connect to server or network servers. also tried typing unc path in Nautilus
[09:53] <boink> I had to apt-get some more modules, then I had to reboot
[09:53] <lmh> ANYBODY else who can help with a STRANGE xorg-prob
[09:53] <fearmoth> is it possible to set my computer to use one NIC for web browsing and then use a seperate NIC for downloading with ftp or bittorrent?
[09:53] <boink> and .. it didn't work for me.
[09:53] <sgirc> any PPP guru around here ?
[09:53] <TSWoodV> boink: I love that card.  I don't like the binary blob, but I love the card.  Kismet friendly, it is.
[09:53] <boink> I had to do a lot of googling
[09:53] <trappist> boink: therefore it's broken, I see
[09:53] <boink> yes
[09:53] <stojance> Hi. I need some help with my Webcam. I am using a Philips 200 NC PC Cam which is under the spca5xx and I've had it. The wiki says that it should work out of the box BUT it doesn't. I need human help now!
[09:53] <Gizmo_the_Great1> soundray: it navigates to the vfat folder but then just says its inaccessible and may have moved
[09:53] <boink> with dapper, it works straight away. not with edgy
[09:53] <dand> hello. I have AddDefaultCharset set to Off in /etc/apache2/conf.d/charset, however apache2 always returns "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" in response
[09:53] <wweasel> boink: plenty of googling is standard when setting up wireless in linux. it's unfortunate, but the case
[09:53] <Daviey> stojance, how have you tested it?
[09:53] <Kaptah> when installing can i tell grub not to write on the MBR ?
[09:53] <dand> is that a security fix of some sorts?
[09:54] <TSWoodV> boink:  No problems here.  What's happening your way?
[09:54] <boink> but not with dapper on the wg511t
[09:54] <Zaehlas> TSWoodv: OK, ran first du without doing sudo, and locked up du, hehe.   anyway, gonna try it again, but first my df result is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34409/
[09:54] <sgirc> I can send debug output is someone is interested
[09:54] <stojance> Daviey: Ekiga (a.k.a Gnome meeting)
[09:54] <TSWoodV> boink:  Yes - dapper on an older Toshiba (1.7 GHz) with the 511T.
[09:54] <Dreamglider> no one able to assist me !
[09:54] <Daviey> stojance, i found VLC great for testing.  Have you tried accessing the camera as root/sudo?
[09:55] <boink> thus, wireless on edgy is causing a lot of problems for people.
[09:55] <soundray> Gizmo_the_Great1: I don't know the solution to that
[09:55] <stojance> Daviey: How?
[09:55] <lehaid> i'm wondering, if i want to compile the ubuntu kernel to an image with the same settings the offical one gets, where can i find information on that ?
[09:55] <_david_> Hi, I need help multibooting an iMac core duo
[09:55] <soundray> !kernelcompile | lehaid
[09:55] <ubotu> lehaid: kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[09:55] <_david_> is this the place, or should I go to a different channel?
[09:55] <||arifaX> boink: problem is too much ways to do it. this is really what should be changed very fast to make ubuntu more userfriendly
[09:55] <hilde> does anybody know if wireless keybourd & mouse works with ubuntu?
[09:55] <TSWoodV> Zaehlas: You've got one large partition, period.  You really should have at least a separate partition for /boot.  But that's not the problem here.
[09:56] <lehaid> soundray: thanks !
[09:56] <||arifaX> hilde: if the sender is usb should work without problems
[09:56] <TSWoodV> Zaehlas: Let's see what "du -sk" tells us.
[09:56] <soundray> hilde: they generally do
[09:56] <gbrent> hilde: your going to have to try it... most of them should
[09:56] <carlosqueso> lehaid, IIRC you can get the base ubuntu settings by typing make oldconfig before you start messing with the settings
[09:56] <Daviey> stojance, open up the terminal and run sudo Ekiga
[09:56] <killown> how I do automatic login gdm?
[09:56] <Zaehlas> TSWoodV: ok, about to run it now.
[09:56] <gbrent> hilde: You may have to map sopme of your buttons with the xmodmap command
[09:56] <TSWoodV> hilde: I've used several different wireless keyboards and mice with edgy just fine.
[09:56] <lehaid> carlosqueso: you need to copy them from somewhere before..
[09:56] <soundray> killown: configure via System-Administration-Login Window
[09:57] <_david_> does anyone here know about multibooting intel macintoshes, or i where I could find someone who does know...?
[09:57] <hilde> TSWoodV, the logitech's
[09:57] <lullabud> anybody here have experience with EVDO cards in ubuntu?
[09:57] <Alllleexx> This might sound dumb, but do u need an anti virus program for ubuntu?
[09:57] <stojance> Daviey: No device found.
[09:57] <hilde> this one I'm want to buy? http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/BE/EN,CRID=2162,CONTENTID=10850
[09:57] <carlosqueso> lehaid....I never had to, just installed linux-sources, untarred them and went
[09:57] <||arifaX> Alllleexx: If you are such a user that needs one under windows probably yes
[09:57] <TSWoodV> hilde: Should be good.  Try looking under System->Preferences->Keyboard and see if that keyboard is listed there.  If not, there's still hope.
[09:58] <Vigor> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1071920&mode=linear
[09:58] <saxin> anyone that can suggest a program that can take a screen of an area I mark on the desktop in ubuntu? :)
[09:58] <Daviey> stojance, have you tried both /dev/video0 and /dev/video1
[09:58] <hilde> ok so I can buy it.
[09:58] <killown> soundray what?
[09:58] <TSWoodV> Alllleexx: Not for Ubuntu's sake, but if you exchange a lot of files with Windows users, you might find one convenient as to not become a virus passer.
[09:58] <Zaehlas> TSWoodV: bah.  all my terminal commands now are locking up without finishing.   since that first du, afte3r I killed that process, the DF gave me a result, but never "finished, and no du's since then have finished.  I should prolly reboot at this point, or rescan my process list.
[09:58] <||arifaX> saxin: wink http://www.debugmode.com/wink/download.php
[09:58] <stojance> Daviey: No. But Ekiga should detect them both.
[09:58] <TSWoodV> Alllleexx: I don't bother, however, as I expect to get clean stuff from the Windows users to begin with.
[09:58] <soundray> killown: are you on ubuntu?
[09:58] <Skwid_> hum, i tried using a symlink to share my data files between windows and linux (link in linux to fat32 windows files), and when i run phpmyadmin under linux, it sees the good tables, but when I try to display them, I get the following error:
[09:58] <Skwid_>  #1033 - Incorrect information in file: './pragmapic_development/layers.frm'
[09:58] <Vigor> Who asked about wireless?
[09:59] <killown> soundray, yes
[09:59] <||arifaX> saxin: what when you press the print-screen button? :)
[09:59] <uksprout> can anyone offer help : sound problem . sound card is Soundblaster live OS: ubuntu 6.10 probem: sometimes I have sound sometimes I don't
[09:59] <Daviey> stojance, download something like 'vlc' and try that.  Then you know what settings/permissions
[09:59] <soundray> killown: Gnome as well?
[09:59] <killown> soundray, yes
[09:59] <Daviey> Does anybody use a SIP client that supports webcam?
[09:59] <lullabud> Vigor:  I asked about EVDO, if that's what you mean.
[09:59] <soundray> killown: then open your eyes and follow my instruction.
[10:00] <killown> certo!
[10:00] <lonran> how do u print a pdf using both sides?
[10:00] <saxin> if I push the print-screen, It take picture of the whole screen :)
[10:00] <saxin> I dont want that
[10:00] <Vigor> lullabud: I have NO idea what that is, but this page is about wireless...http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1071920&mode=linear
[10:00] <Skwid_> any suggestions ?
[10:01] <Duesentrieb> saxin: KSnapshot gives you the option to "shoot" only individual windows...
[10:01] <Duesentrieb> i guess must screenshot progs do nowadays.
[10:01] <JurB> lonran: i think kpdf can do that
[10:01] <Duesentrieb> or are you talking about windows?
[10:01] <hilde> thanxs
[10:01] <nicoAMG> SOS!!!
[10:01] <stojance> Daviey: Any other alternative.
[10:02] <Vigor> And whomever asked about AV, yes, if a machine is connected to todays Internet, I suggest at the least, a Boot Sector AV.
[10:02] <lullabud> Vigor:  yeah, that's not the same technology.  this is using cell phone signals.  thanks though.
[10:02] <nicoAMG> I cant install Ubuntu 6.10 due to mirror problems
[10:02] <Daviey> stojance, Use any you want, but i highly recommend VLC
[10:02] <nicoAMG> What can i do?
[10:02] <saxin> Duesentrieb: well.. is it a KDE-app?
[10:02] <Vigor> lullabud: I have my ticket. :-P
[10:03] <stojance> Daviey: Why VLC? What can you do with VLC?
[10:03] <mr_daniel> rockrhino: where is the private message?
[10:03] <carlosqueso> nicoAMG, have you tried using a different mirror? and are you upgrading or downloading a CD
[10:03] <Duesentrieb> saxin: yes. i imagine the gnome-equivalent does the same thing.
[10:03] <lullabud> stojance:  vlc is the swiss army knife for a/v.
[10:03] <Duesentrieb> if not... well, gnome just sucks :P
[10:03] <lullabud> stojance:  i don't use it in linux, but i can say it's the best player for windows and os x.
[10:03] <saxin> Duesentrieb: I see.. you don't have name on any gnome-equivalent? :P
[10:04] <lullabud> stojance:  plus it's available for everything.  you could probably install it on a clock radio.
[10:04] <Daviey> stojance, as i said.. use any you like.  VLC is a media player.  Also allows you to play capture devices (webcams).  Also ease of tweaking
[10:04] <Duesentrieb> lullabud, stojance: alternatives are xine (with kaffeine or totem frontends) and (k|g)mplayer
[10:04] <Vigor> VLC is a Latent Connection dohickey?
[10:04] <lonran> JurB, thnks, kpdf works
[10:04] <Duesentrieb> saxin: no - i would expect it to pop up when you press the print button. that's how it works under kde at least.
[10:05] <nicoAMG> carlosqueso: The problem is installing Ubuntu on a computer. And seems related to repository problems
[10:05] <JurB> lonran: no prob
[10:05] <Richard__> bahhh
[10:05] <nicoAMG> carlosqueso:
[10:05] <lullabud> anybody else have any experience with EVDO cards in ubuntu?
[10:05] <stojance> Can Totem capture from Webcams, or Pitivi?
[10:05] <Richard__> I'm trying to add a user via the gui tools but it dissapears as soon as I close it
[10:06] <Duesentrieb> Richard__: use adduser from the command line :)
[10:06] <Zaehlas> What is the command again to touch a system flag?  I know it's touch (path I can't remember)/forcefsck to force a fsck run at reboot, but can't rememebr the path.
[10:07] <frying_fish> anyone had much experience with external monitors, doing 1920x1200 and the i915 graphics chipset (using i810 driver)
[10:07] <Daviey> I want to install a feisty package (linphone) on edgy, but it has dependencies such as libc6 (next sub version).  I'm certain that it would would with edgy's packages... but how do i force it?
[10:07] <lullabud> Zaehlas:  `fsck --help`
[10:07] <||arifaX> frying_fish: only tip I have is install package 915resolution if you haven't already
[10:07] <stojance> I dont have any video0 or 1 in /dev
[10:07] <Daviey> stojance, Why won't you use VLC!?!?
[10:07] <Zaehlas> lullabud: Thanks
[10:07] <soundray> Daviey: apt-build it
[10:08] <lullabud> Zaehlas:  er, `reboot --help`
[10:08] <frying_fish> ||arifaX: already have, but that still hasn't helped. I can get 1280x1024 out on the external panel, and its 1280x800 on the internal panel
[10:08] <iam8up|lpy> i've made some changes to my /etc/bash.bashrc file and yet when i source the file none of the changes take effect, am i doing something wrong?
[10:08] <JosefK> anyone managed to get Neverwinter NIghts to run on 6.10?  I keep getting a segfault :/
[10:08] <Daviey> soundray, apt-build?
[10:09] <lullabud> Zaehlas:  d'oh, none of those had it, actually... =/  it's `shutdown -F ..etc..`
[10:09] <stojance> Daviey: I cant, If I had the download I've downloaded it. It's like 11 MB
[10:09] <Zaehlas> lullabud: LOL,  I was running that right there with you, hehe.
[10:09] <stojance> I can but It'll take forever
[10:09] <lullabud> Zaehlas:  weird too is that it wasn't in apropos.
[10:10] <stojance> I'm like 7000 B/s
[10:10] <Daviey> stojance, OIC - your on dialup
[10:10] <soundray> Daviey: you don't like being pointed to manpages, so I won't
[10:10] <nicoAMG> My Ubuntu setup is halted due to:  Connection failed  Err http://cr.archive.ubuntu.com edgy/restricted translation-es
[10:10] <||arifaX> iam8up|lpy: did you check also ~/.bashrc and for the sudo stuff /root/.bashrc
[10:10] <Daviey> soundray, haha
[10:10] <stojance> Daviey: I'm not on DIALUP!
[10:10] <lehaid> ubuntu gives me currently only 640x480 and 800x600 resolutions on the gnome change resolution, how can i add 1024x768 ? (running on vmware)
[10:10] <iam8up|lpy> ||arifaX - yes
[10:10] <nicoAMG> What can i do to complete my setup?
[10:11] <stojance> Daviey: I'm on DSL 100 Mbps but it has fallen down cause I've spent all my download
[10:11] <iam8up|lpy> ahh found my problem - bad comment on the original PS1
[10:11] <||arifaX> iam8up|lpy: I only changed my user settings and that worked
[10:11] <lullabud> lehaid:  edit the xorg.conf and add the resolution in the lines where you see 800x600
[10:11] <lehaid> lullabud: did it, didn't change anything
[10:11] <lullabud> lehaid:  did you restart x?
[10:11] <lullabud> lehaid:  i had that same problem and i fixed it that way./
[10:11] <Zaehlas> lullabud OK, I see that option in shutdown now, although someoen the other day gave a way to use touch command on a file named forcefsck, and it's supposed to set the flag for the hard drive that also forces an fsck, just couldn't remember the proper path to the file.   shutdown prolly does the same thing, with the -F flag, hehe
[10:11] <kudzubane> lehaid: under vmware ws, you need to run vmware-config to change res
[10:11] <lehaid> lullabud: yes i restarted
[10:11] <lehaid> kudzubane: ok, thanks
[10:11] <Daviey> stojance, 'lsusb' will tell you what is connected to USB.  See if it shows up
[10:11] <iam8up|lpy> eww...i have a set PS1 statement to change my prompt and on ubuntu it make smy typing go to th eline above it - on my two centos boxes it works just fine...
[10:11] <lehaid> i'll try it
[10:12] <frederific> lehaid, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:12] <lehaid> kudzubane: where is the vmware-config settings saved ? i wanna back it up
[10:12] <lullabud> lehaid:  neat.  looks like you can just `touch /forcefsck` and it'll do it.
[10:12] <lehaid> frederific: i was hoping without having ot run that, and reconfigure all
[10:12] <mr_daniel> I am really confused 8-|  I have installed the package 'ipsec-tools'. How I can establish a vpn-connection to the gateway (or vpn-concentrator) fbivpn.informatik.uni-hamburg.de ?
[10:12] <lehaid> lullabud: do what ?
[10:12] <lullabud> lehaid:  that was in `man shutdown`
[10:12] <mr_daniel> which commands I have to use?
[10:12] <eloque> anybody here ran ubuntu as a virtual machine from windows? (being that i have ubuntu installed on a local partition and dont wanna run it as a live cd)
[10:12] <visik7> having few linuxisms means have a poor integration with the kernel I don't consider it a feature
[10:12] <kudzubane> lehaid: dunno, google it and all will be known
[10:12] <frederific> lehaid: ignore what i said then , thi slot knows more :)
[10:12] <lehaid> kudzubane: k
[10:12] <x-fak> pls tell me if it's normal that when idling the process Xorg take from 10 to 40% of time (lol) in VMWARE
[10:13] <kudzubane> lehaid: make sure you have vmware-tools installed also
[10:13] <lehaid> lullabud: what will touch /orcefsck do ?
[10:13] <lehaid> kudzubane: i do, my mouse moves seemigly
[10:13] <mr_daniel> do anyone know a good HOWTO for ipsec-tools + ubuntu?
[10:13] <brianski> anyone know of a fast ubuntu iso mirror on the east coast of the US? i'm getting like 30kb/s
[10:13] <Zaehlas> TSWoodV: If you're still around, gonna reboot, to try and run the du command again, proprly, my terminal sessions aren't working correctly at the moment, orat least some commands aren't.  anyway, I'll be right back.
[10:13] <kudzubane> lehaid: great, then you are all set for the res change
[10:13] <lullabud> lehaid:  `touch /forcefsck` creates the file "/forcefsck" which tells linux to run fsck on reboot.
[10:13] <stojance> Daviey: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0471:0325 Philips
[10:13] <stojance> It does
[10:13] <lehaid> lullabud: why would i want to do that?!?
[10:13] <eloque> i amtrying to configur the modem on my laptop (HP dv8000t) but it is not recognizing any devices... the built in modem is a conexant
[10:13] <lullabud> lehaid:  weren't you just asking about running fsck on reboot??
[10:13] <lehaid> nop
[10:13] <Vigor> Has anyone tried EasyUbuntu? and does it work?
[10:14] <lullabud> lehaid:  oops!  hahah, i got my convo's mixed up
[10:14] <mr_daniel> Vigor: yeah, it works
[10:14] <lullabud> LOL
[10:14] <Vigor> Thank you
[10:14] <basilio> i tried easyubuntu but i cant get it to open
[10:14] <basilio> its downloaded and installed the package but wont open
[10:14] <x-fak> pls tell me if it's normal that when idling the process Xorg take from 10 to 40% of time (lol) in VMWARE
[10:14] <x-fak> plz
[10:15] <mr_daniel> bachler: what's the error-message?
[10:15] <mr_daniel> bachler: ups
[10:15] <mr_daniel> basilio: what's the error-message?
[10:15] <Vigor> I am gonna give it a shot, brb
[10:15] <basilio> no error message
[10:15] <basilio> just flickers on screen but never comes up
[10:15] <Teltariat> Greets folks
[10:15] <mr_daniel> basilio: start easyubuntu in a new console
[10:15] <Teltariat> Quick question
[10:15] <Vigor> basilo: Did you get it from Synaptic?
[10:15] <Teltariat> How do you have Ubuntu auto-login?
[10:15] <mr_daniel> basilio: than you probably get some error-messages
[10:16] <mr_daniel> Teltariat: what do you mean with 'auto-login'
[10:16] <basilio> i just tried it again i click on it it asks for my root password then the screen flickers but nothing comes up
[10:17] <mr_daniel> basilio: dont' use the 'icon' to open it
[10:17] <basilio> ok
[10:17] <x-fak> is it normal that alien (for installing .rpm package) is so slow ?
[10:17] <mr_daniel> basilio: open a new conole and than tip 'sudo easyubuntu'
[10:17] <||arifaX> x-fak: it re-creates the rpm as a .deb so that is what takes time
[10:17] <mr_daniel> x-fak: this is normal
[10:17] <basilio> the same thing happened but the terminal says:
[10:18] <basilio> 'Unable to determine desktop environment, falling back to gksudo
[10:18] <mr_daniel> basilio: this is a starting-point to solve the problem
[10:18] <philc> what's the program to configure x?
[10:18] <Teltariat> mr_daniel: I mean that you don't get prompted for username and password, and that on startup, Ubuntu auto-logs in and goes straight to desktop
[10:18] <Teltariat> No gdm
[10:19] <Teltariat> Or xdm
[10:19] <x-fak> ok arifix and mr_daniel
[10:19] <Teltariat> or whatever greeter that is
[10:19] <mr_daniel> basilio: maybe you get much more information about the error when you try a 'sudo easyubuntu -v', but I am not sure if this works
[10:19] <basilio> ok im going to try it
[10:19] <x-fak> someone using ubuntu from a vmware VM ?
[10:19] <mr_daniel> basilio: now you can google with the error message
[10:19] <edan> how can i open a rpm file?
[10:20] <mr_daniel> basilio: you will probably find somethink usefull
[10:20] <aboutblank> i'm extremely confused with my network issues. my ubuntu box is using a static IP (tried DHCP too), and it can ping my windows box (which i'm on right now), but not the router or anything outside my network. it does, however, do the dns resolution. for example, it will get the correct ip of google.com, but no packets return. i'm extremely perplexed as to why it can't ping my router by IP.
[10:20] <hutchy> hi. i want to unload all unused modules. i could do it using rmmod but that's a pain. how should i approach it ?
[10:20] <NoUse> !rpm | edan
[10:20] <ubotu> edan: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[10:20] <basilio> this is the error im getting now i guess im missing a file: python: can't open file './easyubuntu.in': [Errno 2]  No such file or directory
[10:20] <lullabud> lehaid:  if it's not working still, paste your xorg.conf into a pastebin and let me take a look.
[10:21] <||arifaX> aboutblank: check your routes
[10:21] <edan> ok tnx
[10:21] <steveire> Hey, I'm trying to run a script whenever I connect to the internet. I have a test script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ but it doesn't seem to be run when I connect.
[10:21] <x-fak> who is the guy using ubuntu in vmware?
[10:21] <aboutblank> ||arifaX, sorry, but do you mean traceroute?
[10:21] <mr_daniel> Teltariat: this is possible under Xfce with the tool 'rungetty', but I am now sure if this also works with (k)ubuntu
[10:21] <lullabud> x-fak:  i am, and lehaid is.
[10:21] <lehaid> lullabud: i'll try it soon
[10:21] <x-fak> ok
[10:21] <soundray> steveire: make sure it's executable (sudo chmod +x  /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/scriptname')
[10:21] <x-fak> some questions for you guys
[10:21] <hutchy> how to unload unused modules ?
[10:21] <||arifaX> aboutblank: type 'netstat -r' in a shell
[10:21] <lehaid> i am using currently the virtual ubuntu applience from VMWARE's site
[10:22] <steveire> soundray: Yes, it's executable. I can run it fine as ./scriptname while in the directory.
[10:22] <x-fak> do you have to launch vmware-toolbox before beeing able to copy/paste text from vm to host?
[10:22] <mr_daniel> aboutblank: is you dns-config ok? do you have a file /etc/resolv.conf?
[10:22] <lullabud> x-fak:  if you could address me as i'm addressing you it'd be easier for me to see your messages in the chat window.
[10:22] <x-fak> lullabud> ok
[10:22] <lullabud> x-fak:  huh, i've never tried that actually.
[10:22] <aboutblank> ||arifaX, thank you for helping me. i cannot pastebin the output easily. what information is important
[10:22] <mr_daniel> aboutblank: are you using wlan?
[10:23] <lehaid> x-fak: doesnt work here, didnt try it yet
[10:23] <||arifaX> aboutblank: do you have a line starting with "default"
[10:23] <aboutblank> mr_daniel: yes i have an /etc/resolv.conf, and i'm not sure what wlan is.
[10:23] <mr_daniel> basilio: python is a programing-language, and I think it is a interpreter-like language also
[10:23] <x-fak> lehaid and lullabud i have to laucn the gui app vmware-toolbox to copy text from a console, TO the host OS
[10:23] <x-fak> which is a win xp
[10:23] <eloque> Anybody know a way to get around paying for drivers for my Conexant built in modem?
[10:23] <mr_daniel> basilio: this mean, that you need to install a phyton-interpreter
[10:24] <soundray> steveire: try putting it in /etc/network/if-up.d instead
[10:24] <aboutblank> ||arifaX, I do have a line starting with "default". the gateway is "<IP_ADDRESS>" and the genmask is "<IP_ADDRESS>"
[10:24] <mr_daniel> basilio: search under synaptic for it, maybe this will help you to run easyubuntu, but I am now sure
[10:24] <frederific> Ive just noticed, the default 2nd away message in Xchat is "This debian user is away" shouldn't that be ubuntu?
[10:24] <basilio> ok thanks
[10:25] <mr_daniel> aboutblank: with wlan i mean wireless-lan, do you now understand me?
[10:25] <||arifaX> aboutblank: thats okay if <IP_ADDRESS> is the ip of your router
[10:25] <gbrent> join #php
[10:25] <aboutblank> ||arifaX, yes, it is the ip of my router.
[10:25] <aboutblank> mr_daniel, no, i'm on a wired lan.
[10:25] <steveire> thanks soundray. I'll give it a shot now.
[10:25] <mr_daniel> aboutblank: check your /etc/network/interfaces
[10:25] <shinux> Hi!
[10:26] <mr_daniel> aboutblank: maybe there are missing some important informations
[10:26] <||arifaX> aboutblank: there should be another line starting with <IP_ADDRESS> what about that?
[10:26] <Zaehlas> TSWoodV: If you're still around, I got the results, and pasted them, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34411/

[10:30] <runespy> Hello, i have a really big question, my question, as i said is long, has first a story, i installed
[10:30] <runespy> ubuntu on a 100GB Harddrive with windows XP Pro on a dual boot, as i accidently messed up that
[10:30] <runespy> installation somehow, so i had found another 100 GB Harddrive and installed it on there as that one
[10:30] <runespy> as master, and the one with the messed up ubuntu and Win XP As slave, now what i want to do is
[10:30] <runespy> get rid of Ubuntu on the second 100GB and then get rid of the one on the other 100GB so that its just
[10:30] <runespy> Windows XP, but here is another problem, even though its 100GB windows XP is only reading about 21 or 25 GB
[10:30] <aboutblank> mr_daniel: that is correct, and it has worked for the past 5 months, i believe when i updated it yesterday it broke.
[10:30] <runespy> of it, how can i restore that partition to be the main one on that harddrive and for it to be master operating system to boot.
[10:30] <Kim^J> graham_100_: Give me all info that you think I would need to help you.
[10:30] <runespy> If you can get me an awnser to this, thank you...
[10:30] <aboutblank> jesus
[10:30] <lehaid> runespy: WTF ?!?!?!?! PASTEBINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
[10:30] <x-fak> lol lehaid , ok so i think i have not enough memory :)
[10:30] <lehaid> x-fak: 2GB of memory is cheap
[10:30] <ParaMouth> Hows everyone today?
[10:30] <LjL> Ubotu, tell runespy about paste | runespy, see the private message from Ubotu
[10:30] <x-fak> how cheap? :)
[10:30] <czer323> !enter
[10:30] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[10:30] <jaek> anyone know how to make my volume buttons on my keyboard adjust the PCM instead of Master?
[10:30] <graham_100_> kim^j my first problem is with getting second hard drive to work properly
[10:31] <mr_daniel> runespy: I don't understand your problem, can you repeat it with other words?
[10:31] <Kim^J> graham_100_: What's the problem with it?
[10:31] <mr_daniel> aboutblank: hmm, where the problem can be?
[10:31] <aboutblank> ||arifaX, mr_daniel, is there a way to rollback updates applied? i do believe that is what broke my connection, since i'm sure it was working before that.
[10:31] <aboutblank> or at least a log of updates applied?
[10:31] <mr_daniel> aboutblank: in synaptic you can find a install-log
[10:31] <|Aymnmz|> Kim^J: I hope that may help you...
[10:31] <||arifaX> aboutblank: try with a default /etc/network/interfaces file first
[10:32] <LjL> !caps | lehaid, for that matter
[10:32] <ubotu> lehaid, for that matter: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[10:32] <graham_100_> kim^j well i have got the partition manager and the disks programme, i have tried to format it and re partition but i cannot save things to it or creat folders in it
[10:32] <Kim^J> |Aymnmz|: Thanks alot. :D
[10:32] <aboutblank> ||arifaX, by default you mean DHCP?
[10:32] <graham_100_> kim^j
[10:32] <mr_daniel> aboutblank: are you using the commands 'ifdown' and 'ifup' ?
[10:32] <Kim^J> graham_100_: Does it mount?
[10:32] <aboutblank> mr_daniel: No.
[10:32] <mr_daniel> ||arifaX: what you mean with default
[10:32] <|Aymnmz|> bye bye, I go back to #ubuntu-fr...
[10:32] <aboutblank> though ifconfig reports eth0 up.
[10:32] <mr_daniel> aboutblank: ok than
[10:32] <mr_daniel> aboutblank: open a new conole and
[10:33] <lullabud> LjL:  is there an ubotu command that talks about addressing the person you're chatting to?
[10:33] <graham_100_> kim^j unable to mount the selected programme it says
[10:33] <LjL> !usernames | lullabud
[10:33] <ubotu> lullabud: Please prefix what you're saying with a name to avoid confusion. See !tab
[10:33] <lullabud> LjL:  exellent
[10:33] <Kim^J> graham_100_: programme = drive ?
[10:33] <mr_daniel> aboutblank: try a 'sudo ifdown -a' and than a 'sudo ifup ethX'
[10:33] <graham_100_> kim^j yes
[10:33] <lullabud> excellent even...
[10:33] <mr_daniel> aboutblank: and X is the specific number of your lan-card
[10:33] <eloque> bah cant get an answer no matter how many times i ask
[10:33] <mr_daniel> aboutblank: maybe eth0 or eth1
[10:33] <Kim^J> graham_100_: Exactly what does it say?
[10:33] <eloque> BAH humbug
[10:34] <aboutblank> mr_daniel: okay.. i'm actually VNCing to the machine (ironic..., only machine it can connect to it seems), i'm going to put it in a batch file.
[10:34] <mr_daniel> aboutblank: it is eth0
[10:34] <graham_100_> kim^j unable to mount the selected volume
[10:34] <||arifaX> aboutblank: I have no default one but maybe someone can post a default 'interfaces' file for you
[10:34] <PMantis> Can anyone name a GUI network auto-config tool similar to Network-Manager ?
[10:34] <Kim^J> graham_100_: What's the /dev/XdZY to the drive?
[10:34] <lullabud> eloque:  what's the question?
[10:34] <mr_daniel> aboutblank: hmm, this can't be, because DHCP have to manage this, but
[10:34] <graham_100_> kim^j how do i find that out?
[10:34] <||arifaX> PMantis: wlan or lan
[10:34] <Kim^J> Where X is either h or s and Z is a-z and Y is 1 to 99.
[10:34] <mr_daniel> aboutblank: maybe your DHCP-Options in your router are to restrictiv
[10:35] <eloque> i amtrying to configur the modem on my laptop (HP dv8000t) but it is not recognizing any devices... the built in modem is a conexant
[10:35] <mr_daniel> aboutblank: maybe you have to check your ip-range
[10:35] <PMantis> ||arifaX, Both... laptop needs to migrate from network to network... (I saw another option in synaptic recently... can't locate it now)
[10:35] <graham_100_> kim^j errm don't get you sorry
[10:35] <aboutblank> mr_daniel: i have windows based machines that are doing static IPs just fine.
[10:35] <lullabud> eloque:  ah, a winmodem...  that sucks.  what's the model number of the modem, or the model of the chip it uses?
[10:35] <Kim^J> graham_100_: Is it a SATA/SCSI or a PATA/IDE drive?
[10:35] <||arifaX> PMantis: I use kwlan for my wireless and guessnet/ifplugd/resolvconf for my lan
[10:36] <mr_daniel> eloque: maybe you need this driver here http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
[10:36] <graham_100_> kim^j IDE drive sorry
[10:36] <eloque> how can i find that out?
[10:36] <eloque> it isn't in a card so i cant really take it out and peep it
[10:36] <||arifaX> PMantis: oh you are on gnome?
[10:36] <mr_daniel> aboutblank: hmm, are you using DHCP or staitc?
[10:36] <aboutblank> mr_daniel: i just did an ifdown -a, ifup eth0, and ifconfig now only reports eth0 up (no lo) and still no pinging action
[10:36] <graham_100_> kim^j I have 2 IDE drives one is working fine obviously i am running linux on it lol
[10:36] <PMantis> ||arifaX, yes
[10:36] <mr_daniel> aboutblank: what the windows machines are using, DHCP or static?
[10:36] <Kim^J> graham_100_: hdX then. Is it master on the first channel or slave? Or maybe on the secoand channel.
[10:36] <tonyyarusso> How can I change the user, group, and permissions used by default when creating new directories and files under a directory?
[10:36] <graham_100_> kim^j it's slave
[10:37] <aboutblank> mr_daniel: on the network i have windows machines doing DHCP and static, and this troubled machine cannot do either.
[10:37] <eloque> being that i cna only use dial up internet right now... i'm pretty screwed if the modem doesn't work
[10:37] <graham_100_> kim^j the other drive is master on the same IDE cable
[10:37] <Kim^J> graham_100_: On wich channel? The first or the second?
[10:37] <Kim^J> graham_100_: Ok.
[10:37] <||arifaX> PMantis: I also tried network-manager but I hate using dhcp all the time so I chose guessnet for lan
[10:37] <mr_daniel> aboutblank: I am not sure, but could it be that your lan-card is broken?
[10:37] <graham_100_> kim^j I don't know how to tell which channel that is
[10:37] <Kim^J> graham_100_: Can you do this: "df -h" in a shell without the " ?
[10:38] <Kim^J> graham_100_: And the tell me where / is mounted.
[10:38] <highneko> How can I list all available commands?
[10:38] <aboutblank> lol mr_daniel, i'm connected the troubled box through VNC over the router which it cannot ping!
[10:38] <mr_daniel> tonyyarusso: you can use the command 'chown' to set the owner of a file
[10:38] <lullabud> eloque:  what might be easier than configuring your winmodem is getting an external modem, or getting a gateway that has a modem built in.
[10:38] <Kim^J> highneko: Press tab a few times.
[10:38] <graham_100_> kim^j what's a shell (sorry i am still learning this)
[10:38] <lullabud> highneko:  hit tab at a terminal.
[10:38] <highneko> aboutblankz; router firewall?
[10:38] <eloque> i have a linksys router/AP
[10:38] <eloque> any good?
[10:38] <aboutblank> highneko: nope. all internal...
[10:38] <tonyyarusso> mr_daniel: But how can I make it so I don't have to do that after the fact?
[10:38] <lullabud> highneko:  another good way is `apropos something`
[10:38] <tonyyarusso> mr_daniel: I need everything created or copied into /var/www/ to have a group of www-data and readable by all
[10:38] <highneko> lullabud: Ok, thank you. Works good.
[10:39] <Kim^J> graham_100_: Oh. Do you know howto open the Terminal, Konsole, Xterm, whater-you-call-it ?
[10:39] <mr_daniel> aboutblank: this is really interesting
[10:39] <lullabud> eloque:  well, if you have a linksys router and it's not connecting to broadband it's not doing you much good, unless it has a built in modem.
[10:39] <aboutblank> mr_daniel: interesting? hah! more like confusing...
[10:39] <graham_100_> kim^j yes i learned that quickly
[10:39] <graham_100_> lol
[10:39] <Kim^J> graham_100_: That's a shell.
[10:39] <graham_100_> kim^j ok
[10:39] <eloque> i am in saudi arabia right now .... dsl here sucks but i applied months ago
[10:39] <lullabud> anybody have experience with EVDO cards in ubuntu, or linux at all for that matter?
[10:39] <mr_daniel> tonyyarusso: you can also change the owner of EVERY file in a directory, you just have to use a '*'
[10:39] <Kim^J> Write df -h in the shell and give me the output of where / is mounted.
[10:40] <graham_100_> kim^j so what do i type in terminal?
[10:40] <eloque> am on a waiting list the fact that i have a router has nothing to do with my ability to use high speed internet... at least thats how things are here
[10:40] <Kim^J> graham_100_: Read the above.
[10:40] <Zaehlas> Well, TSWoodV was helping me earlier, but is probably extended AFK now.  I'm still having a filesystem problem of 36 gigs being allocated that is not represented by files I can find.  The trash bin is empty, and fsck on reboot does not fix it.  My current information is located at http://www.ultralarp.com/DiskUsage.gif and  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34411/
[10:40] <eloque> trying to make th ebest of it
[10:40] <tonyyarusso> mr_daniel: I know how to change things that already exist; I need to do it preemtively.
[10:40] <mr_daniel> tonyyarusso: try a 'chown OWNER *', BUT be careful with this commend
[10:40] <lullabud> eloque:  if you can get an airport base station, or an actiontec R7000M you'd be alright.
[10:40] <eloque> these are external laptops... or?
[10:40] <mr_daniel> tonyyarusso: I don't know how to handle this, maybe you have to create a script for this
[10:41] <lullabud> eloque:  dial-on-demand 56k gateways.
[10:41] <eloque> i mean modems
[10:41] <eloque> lol external laptops
[10:41] <eloque> external modems i mea
[10:41] <eloque> lol
[10:41] <tonyyarusso> mr_daniel: That may work.  Thanks anyway.
[10:41] <eloque> ok
[10:41] <graham_100_> kim^j what do you want me to tell you i have lots of writing
[10:41] <Kim^J> graham_100_: df -h and where is / mounted on
[10:41] <lullabud> eloque:  sort of.  but better.  you plug in with ethernet and they function just like a normal router, but you can hook them to a phone line for dial-up.
[10:41] <eloque> any idea about how much one of them might run?
[10:41] <mr_daniel> why not kubuntu 6.10?
[10:41] <phoenix87ta> any way to get Totem to play wmvs?
[10:41] <graham_100_> kim^j it says mounted on /
[10:41] <lullabud> eloque:  you could get the actiontec one on the cheap.  google for hactiontec.
[10:42] <lullabud> eloque:  the airport's are like $200.
[10:42] <graham_100_> kim^j filesystem /dev/hdal
[10:42] <Kim^J> graham_100_: Ah thanks.
[10:42] <Kim^J> /dev/hda1 it is.
[10:42] <eloque> DAMN!
[10:42] <mr_daniel> eloque: you have to check your kernel-verison with a 'uname -r' to download the right driver-file
[10:42] <eloque> i hope that broadband comes quick
[10:42] <graham_100_> kim^j that is my primary hard drive though
[10:42] <lullabud> eloque:  you actually might be better off with the hactiontec one, since the apple one doesn't have a web-gui.
[10:42] <sgirc> hi does anybody know how to bind a ppp connection to a specific interface, I want to bind it to nas0, not ppp0
[10:42] <lullabud> eloque:  well, even if you got the apple one it would still fuction as an ethernet gateway for cable or dsl, and a wireless access point.
[10:43] <Kim^J> graham_100_: Yep. That I wanted to know. Can you do this: ls /dev | grep hdb ?
[10:43] <mr_daniel> phoenix87ta: you mean .wmv, or?
[10:43] <mr_daniel> phoenix87ta: I thing you need the package 'w32codecs' for this
[10:43] <phoenix87ta> mr_daniel, yes, .wmv.  it's playing just about everything else, I got all the gstreamer codecs
[10:43] <zi99y>  /join #ubuntu-classroom
[10:43] <phoenix87ta> mr_daniel, I tried that one.  didn't do anything
[10:44] <graham_100_> kim^j says "hdbl"
[10:44] <mr_daniel> phoenix87ta: gstreamer isn't able to handle .wmv-files
[10:44] <phoenix87ta> yeah, noticed that
[10:44] <Kim^J> graham_100_: Nothing more?
[10:44] <graham_100_> kim^j nope
[10:44] <x-fak> how i can i know i got ALL the last updates for ubuntu, also for the OS himself?
[10:44] <Kim^J> graham_100_: Ok
[10:44] <sgirc> anybody thaht has used pppoa ?
[10:44] <graham_100_> kim^j be right back have to do something
[10:44] <eloque> so if i use ethernet do i really have much to worry about?
[10:44] <Kim^J> graham_100_: Do this: sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt
[10:44] <eloque> also does WAN work decently right out the box on a normal ubuntu install?
[10:45] <Vigor> This easy Ubuntu thing is also Automatix, or has a link to it, is this thing supported or is it a crash and burn?
[10:45] <phoenix87ta> mr_daniel, okay, is there another WMV player at all that's worth a damn?
[10:45] <LjL> !automatix | Vigor
[10:45] <ubotu> Vigor: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[10:45] <LjL> !easyubuntu | Vigor
[10:45] <ubotu> Vigor: easyubuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ - For help and or discussions about EasyUbuntu please join #easyubuntu
[10:45] <[Gino] > How do you turn off auto complete in OO.o?
[10:45] <Vigor> Thank you
[10:46] <mr_daniel> phoenix87ta: I am not sure, but VLC (or VCL, video lan) is a very good player, it uses the packege FFmpeg, maybe you need this to play .wmv-files
[10:46] <mr_daniel> phoenix87ta: or
[10:46] <eloque> VLC
[10:46] <eloque> videlan.org
[10:46] <eloque> Videolan.org *
[10:46] <mr_daniel> phoenix87ta: you can use automatix or easyubuntu
[10:46] <phoenix87ta> yeah, that one works, but the app itself is a little too powerful for my system
[10:46] <sgirc> i really need help !
[10:46] <mr_daniel> sgirc: just ask, what is your problem :)
[10:47] <lehaid> which package in ubuntu has the file "stdio.h" ?
[10:47] <mlehrer> lehaid: libc6-dev i think
[10:47] <sgirc> mr_daniel: I can't connect to my ISP, I'm using an usb modem which is alright (adslline is up)
[10:48] <sgirc> mr_daniel: my problem is when I lanch pppd
[10:48] <lupine_85> sgirc: some USB modems are supported, some aren't
[10:48] <fuffal0> what's ubuntu's equivalant to traceroute?
[10:48] <phoenix87ta> traceroute
[10:48] <fuffal0> hmmmmm
[10:48] <mr_daniel> lehaid: I think you have to install the package 'build essential'
[10:48] <lupine_85> needs installing
[10:48] <sgirc> mr_daniel: my modem is supported (connexant e-tech V2) and my ADSL line is up
[10:49] <runespy> ok now that ive used pastebin... i can now ask my question ^_^ .. http://pastebin.com/834155
[10:49] <tuxtux> notte a tutti
[10:49] <lehaid> mr_daniel: yeah i am now :)
[10:49] <phoenix87ta> fuffal0, there's a little gui for tracerouting in your system/administration/network tools
[10:49] <sgirc> mr_daniel: this is connection log file http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34412/
[10:49] <mr_daniel> sgirc: sorry, I am using DSL and no modem, but maybe a 'man pppd' will help you
[10:50] <sgirc> ok thanks anyway
[10:50] <NoUse> !dsl
[10:50] <ubotu> Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE

[10:50] <sgirc> NoUse: ADSL/PPPoA

[10:50] <heatxsink> hello all, what exactly does ubuntu use to install it's distro?
[10:50] <runespy> could someone please awnser my question?? http://pastebin.com/834155
[10:50] <NoUse> sgirc ubotu is a bot
[10:50] <lupine_85> ubiquity
[10:50] <heatxsink> like the text menus and all of that
[10:50] <gbrent> heatxsink: it installs of the live cd
[10:50] <mattish-> org
[10:50] <lupine_85> (for the GUI one anyway)
[10:51] <eloque> ubotu: intercourse
[10:51] <gbrent> heatxsink: download the ISO, burn it and then on the desktop you will see an install icon
[10:51] <sgirc> NoUSe: a clever bot !
[10:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about intercourse - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:51] <mr_daniel> heatxsink: what you mean with '...what...does ubuntu use...' ?
[10:51] <heatxsink> like how did you guys make the menus when installing the distro
[10:51] <runespy> ... http://pastebin.com/834155 .. could someone awnser this?
[10:51] <uksprout> PLEASE!! can anyone offer help : sound problem . sound card is Soundblaster live OS: ubuntu 6.10 probem: sometimes I have sound sometimes I don't
[10:51] <sgirc> NoUse: can u tell me how u recognize a bot so that I appear less stupdi next time ?
[10:51] <gbrent> heatxsink: do you mean boot menues?
[10:52] <heatxsink> yes
[10:52] <heatxsink> that too
[10:52] <eloque> ubotu: how to peepee!
[10:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about how to peepee! - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:52] <mr_daniel> heatxsink: what you mean with '...make the menus...' ?
[10:52] <NoUse> sgirc generally if it has the word 'bot' somewhere in the name
[10:52] <heatxsink> okay
[10:52] <phoenix87ta> uksprout, when you lose sound, all apps, or just one?
[10:52] <heatxsink> so when I install ubuntu server LTS, I get this menu I boot into
[10:52] <Nuked> eloque: dont play with the bots, it will anger them :)
[10:52] <heatxsink> then I select my option and press enter
[10:52] <eloque> ok ok i'm sorry
[10:52] <Nuked> and we know who THEM are
[10:52] <heatxsink> then the kernel boots
[10:52] <gbrent> heatxsink: well the boot menus are dual boot systems. You need to have multiple partitions and mulitple operating systems to do that. The grub boot manager needs to be configured to boot to either OS
[10:52] <eloque> it was pretty funny though
[10:52] <heatxsink> then I have to setup the system
[10:52] <runespy> can someone please awnser my question!? http://pastebin.com/834155
[10:53] <sod75> anyone know how to set the resolution of kdm, since edgy it's scaled an my laptop doesn't like the switching of resolution after i log in
[10:53] <lullabud> eloque:  actually, if you play with the bots you might get kicked.
[10:53] <mr_daniel> heatxsink: you can change the grub-menu with the file 'nano /boot/grub/menu.lst '
[10:53] <Nuked> eloque: it was
[10:53] <Slipp3d> ~ello all
[10:53] <uksprout> phoenix87ta: all I can play sound the reboot and no sound reboot several times and the sound will come back
[10:53] <Nuked> lullabud: thats what I meant
[10:53] <heatxsink> mr_daniel:  I understand the grub-menu stuff
[10:53] <gbrent> anyone running compiz?
[10:53] <eloque> lullabud... i think it was kinda worth it but oh well i apologized to uberbot
[10:53] <heatxsink> but is that what ubuntu-server LTS uses?
[10:53] <lullabud> Nuked:  ah... by "Them" you meant "the ops"... ;-)
[10:54] <eloque> yea i understood nuked when he first said it lullabud
[10:54] <runespy> uksprout: do sudo alsaconf ; in your command line, that worked for me...
[10:54] <Slipp3d> question about mozilla firefox and trying to switch the media plug in.... i would like to use vlc or kaff to handle my mms streams but dont' know where to switch it
[10:54] <AsheD> odd.
[10:54] <gbrent> heatxsink: they all use grub, but the different versions are for different things. For a desktop computer just straight ubuntu is best if thats what you are also asking
[10:54] <Nuked> eloque: but I was nicer about it, and still gave fair warning
[10:54] <TSWoodV> Zaehlas: Those results from du look to be correct.  Now run "cd / ; du -sk *" and see what we get.
[10:54] <mrlinux> help with dchp!!!!!!
[10:54] <eloque> yes u were a fair sport
[10:54] <Vigor> Dang, 1004 users?
[10:54] <aboutblank> mr_daniel, I'm an idiot. after my ubuntu box rebooted, Firestarter came back up. i hadn't realized that i had disabled it, as it's misconfigured. i thought i had uninstalled it.
[10:54] <runespy> just remember to do sudo killall alsad before doing the config
[10:54] <AsheD> every program I use tells me these mp3s have no tags, but they show as having tags in Rhythmbox
[10:54] <heatxsink> gbrent:  I dunno if that's what I'm asking
[10:55] <sod75> mrlinux: ask
[10:55] <heatxsink> I guess the question should be, if I wanted to make my own distro

[10:55] <mr_daniel> runespy: it is very difficult to understand you. please don't write 'abook', be specific and phrase short lines
[10:55] <heatxsink> what does ubuntu use when booting up via a CD, and how did they make all of those nice "menuconfig" like menus and stuff
[10:55] <uksprout> runespy: command not found!
[10:55] <runespy> opps sorry, typo...
[10:55] <lehaid> how do i make "make" show me full compilation flags intead of just CC <filename> ?
[10:56] <mr_daniel> runespy: please no explain us our 'odysee', just ask EXACTLY what your problem is
[10:56] <sod75> lehaid: vi Makefile ?
[10:56] <runespy> uksprout: that shouldnt be rite, because i did that in debian and ubuntu, let me look through command refrences...
[10:56] <Zaehlas> TSWoodV: Woot, you're back!   ok, I'm back from AFK too.  running that command, gimme a few minutes.
[10:56] <runespy> unless ubuntu dosent have alsa
[10:56] <Dreamglider> why is amarok so good ?
[10:57] <lehaid> sod75: where does it define there to HIDE them in the first place?
[10:57] <Dreamglider> it is slow as a mofo
[10:57] <uksprout> runespy: I cut and pasted so I *should* have got it right ;)
[10:57] <mr_daniel> lehaid: maybe 'make -d ...' ?
[10:57] <phoenix87ta> dreamglider, amarok works well for you?
[10:57] <eloque> sup dream
[10:57] <eloque> left dal huh?
[10:57] <Slipp3d> anyone  have a help for me?
[10:57] <sod75> lehaid: no idea, but you can see the flags there i guess
[10:57] <Dreamglider> eloque, nah
[10:57] <runespy> ok, one what my question is, to make the story short, i need to uninstall a messed up installation of ubuntu off of a harddrive that also has a winxp pro partition, its 100GB harddrive and winxp is only using 21 GB's
[10:57] <PEDRO> Hi
[10:58] <lehaid> mr_daniel: nop
[10:58] <Dreamglider> phoenix87ta, it works but it is slow as hell
[10:58] <PEDRO> I need help! I installed Beryl
[10:58] <lehaid> sod75: nop, it does some run time voodoo to find them
[10:58] <Zaehlas> TSWoodV: ok, it shows all that data being in /root.  I'm going to try cd ing to that, and see what I can see.
[10:58] <phoenix87ta> dreamglider, okay, still trying to make my multimedia apps decisions
[10:58] <PEDRO> but I need to set a session so that I can start it without typing beryl-manager
[10:59] <runespy> did anyone see my question?
[10:59] <mr_daniel> runespy: yes I did
[10:59] <LjL> Ubotu, tell PEDRO about beryl | PEDRO, see the private message from Ubotu
[10:59] <runespy> ok thinking of a way?
[10:59] <Zaehlas> TSWoodV: OK, I cd /root, ran the same command, and it gave me 4 block in /root/Desktop, and nothing else, and ls doesn't show anything.
[11:00] <Slipp3d> anyone any help with my firefox questions?
[11:00] <eloque> damn conexant gotta pay for a driver on a free os
[11:00] <eloque> BAH humbug
[11:00] <steveire> !seen soundray
[11:00] <ubotu> I last saw soundray<EMAIL_ADDRESS>19m 13s ago, quiting: "Leaving"
[11:01] <linux_kid> Slipp3d: whats your question?
[11:01] <poolkey172> tired :(
[11:01] <LjL> eloque: ok, we got your disappointment, just buy a decent modem and stop whining, or write a free driver yourself.
[11:02] <runespy> mr_daniel, think of somthing?
[11:02] <Slipp3d> linux_kid  i am trying to change the plugin for firefox so that i'm using kaff or vlc to handle mms streams the question is where do i change the setting for that?
[11:02] <wigsta> Does anybody have a TV tuner card working with Ubuntu? Need some help using the IVTV driver! Specifically tunning the channels (UK frequency).
[11:02] <Slipp3d> at this time i'm unable to change it
[11:02] <Zaehlas> TSWoodV: Well, a regular ls showed Desktop folder, but du -sk showed only 4 blocks being taken up by that same folder.  so the "files" that are taking up so much space must be in /root.  Sny suggestions on seeing them, removing them?
[11:02] <mr_daniel> runespy: no, I am busy with something else
[11:03] <runespy> ok...
[11:03] <TSWoodV> Zaehlas: It stopped?  It should have kept on running and gone down the directory tree structure
[11:03] <linux_kid> Slipp3d: what is your ubuntu version and what is your firefox version
[11:03] <poolkey172> anyone know how wingrub works ?
[11:03] <drach> runespy: my suggestion - run gparted from a live-cd, resize  partition with winxp (or create a new ntfs partition), run recovery mode from installation winxp disk,  fixmbr, and you sholuld be able to boot win from that hd
[11:03] <eloque> the point was to get the attention of anybody else that might have gone through the same thing but fortunately for u all.. u weren't plagued by what i was. sorry
[11:04] <Slipp3d> firefox is ver 2.0 and ubuntu is the new one for down load
[11:04] <Zaehlas> TSWoodV: Oh, the first du -sk did the directory trees, and showed 40 million blocks in root, so I cd'd there to track it down.  it only did one directory down.  inside /rootthere only seems to be one subdirectory, kand that's it
[11:04] <edd_> hello
[11:04] <TSWoodV> Zaehlas: Since you've got one single partition with the entirety of your filesystem on it, it takes a bit more effort to find the problems.
[11:05] <TSWoodV> Zaehlas: Then something's not right.  If all you see is / and one directory down, then we've got other issues.
[11:05] <Zaehlas> TSWoodV no, that's not it, sorry, I'm not explaining well, lemme paste results.  one moment
[11:05] <archis_> Hi anybody familiar with gconf? I have a q re. protocol handlers
[11:05] <Slipp3d> linux_kid i have the plugins installed ... just can't change the ones that it's using
[11:06] <linux_kid> Slipp3d: try this download and see if it helps... http://bugs.sourcemage.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7713
[11:06] <archis_> I want to change the handler for rtsp and real streams from Totem to realplayer
[11:07] <Zaehlas> TSWoodV: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34415/ shows the commands I delivered, and the results.  I'm talking about an actual directory /root, not the "root" directory "/"
[11:07] <edd_> can nebody help with a BCM4318 card?
[11:07] <Slipp3d> linux_kid it's not just that ...  i can't get kaffine to run in firefox
[11:07] <archis_> and the basic idea is to add a handler in about:config
[11:07] <archis_> like so http://ubit.buffalo.edu/linux/ublinux4/rtsp.php
[11:08] <linux_kid> Slipp3d: so you are using KDE or GNOME?
[11:08] <Slipp3d> gnome
[11:08] <Zaehlas> TSWoodV: Line 20 of the paste shows what I saw, and aftrer that, I tried to track it down more, but an ls in that directory showed me nothing.
[11:08] <Samus_Aran> does anyone know why Ubuntu's Apache error pages are all weird and screwy ?  for example an error 404 produces this crap: "The requested URL was not found on this server. The link on the ">referring page seems to be wrong or outdated. Please inform the author of ">that page about the error. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again."
[11:08] <archis_> but FF, at least 2.0 doesn't use app hanlders in about:config but queries gconf
[11:08] <Samus_Aran> I haven't changed my apache config for the past several distros, and the error pages were always fine
[11:09] <Slipp3d> but i can't get any different plugins other then the one for totem ... and totem can't handle mms
[11:09] <winterp1> Is it possible to delete empty directory entries in gconf-editor? If yes, how? Tnx for responses...
[11:09] <kudzubane> wow, my edgy install is idling at a high load average, much higher than other distros, i wonder what is the culprit
[11:09] <archis_> so how should i proceed?
[11:10] <Samus_Aran> kudzubane: what does top show ?
[11:10] <archis_> change the gconf setting or add app handler to FF
[11:10] <poolkey172> can someone plz help me ?
[11:10] <archis_> or both ;)
[11:10] <Slipp3d> kudzubane i would say it's beagle
[11:10] <eloque> kudzubane: it could be gas
[11:10] <winterp1> tnx m8
[11:10] <winterp1> :P
[11:10] <kudzubane> Samus_Aran: 0.88, 0.66, 0.64
[11:11] <kudzubane> beagle not installed
[11:11] <cafuego> kudzubane: `top'
[11:11] <eloque> been drinkin milk?
[11:11] <edd_> can anybody help me install my BCM4318 card on edgy. i had it working on 6.06, but now it says there is no signal???
[11:11] <kudzubane> cafuego: what i copied/pasted is the relevant load averages
[11:12] <ActivE> is there a way i can list the terminal command cache so that i could search it with grep?
[11:12] <edd_> *no wireless signal
[11:12] <cafuego> kudzubane: Yes, but no process info.
[11:12] <cafuego> edd_: You need the firmware.
[11:12] <bimberi> ActivE: history
[11:12] <_david_> what does "sudo sfdisk -c /dev/sda 3 83" do?
[11:12] <edd_> firmware?
[11:13] <kudzubane> cafuego: interestingly, cpu load is mostly under 20% (and not sustained), no processes appears to be claiming much resources, but load average is still high
[11:13] <ActivE> perfect thankyou bimberi
[11:13] <bimberi> ActivE: np :)
[11:13] <edd_> which firmware do i need??
[11:13] <Slipp3d> linux_kid : any other thoughts?
[11:14] <Slipp3d> linux_kid : I'm using gnome
[11:14] <cafuego> kudzubane: You running software raid?
[11:14] <kudzubane> edd_: you need the proprietary firmware for that broadcom wireless chipset, you extract the firmware using the wireless windows driver, bcm43xx-cutter (install it) does the trick
[11:14] <linux_kid> Slipp3d: well, i didnt find anything on google or firefox.com, post somthing @ ubuntuforums.com
[11:15] <Dreamglider> help
[11:15] <kudzubane> cafuego: negative

[11:16] <kudzubane> delliott: you might want to run a mem test
[11:16] <linux_kid> Dreamglider: ok, lets start w/ the basics, what card are you using?
[11:16] <fuffal0> in windows when i want to print to a printer that has an IP address, i setup a port mapped to an IP, and then setup a "local printer" with that port - how do iu do this in ubuntu

[11:16] <xen> Thanks bimberi (and ubotu :P )
[11:17] <bimberi> !thanks | xen
[11:17] <ubotu> xen: You're Welcome!

[11:17] <dfxwer> hello eveybody
[11:17] <Dreamglider> X-Micro XWL-11GUZX
[11:17] <Dreamglider> 6.10
[11:17] <kudzubane> delliott: i remember seeing such an option at boot time using live/install cd, but it is on the x86 32bit version, so you need to check
[11:17] <dfxwer> has anyone heard of sabayon linux 3.2
[11:17] <ActivE> yes dfxwer
[11:17] <Spee_Der> Good evening everyone......

[11:20] <variant> you dont need sudo
 : that hasnt done anything ????
[11:20] <linux_kid> Dreamglider: ok, hmmmm... try looking in synaptic and downloading both ndiswrapper and the gtk GUI of ndiswrapper
[11:20] <delliott> kudzubane: When I boot into the LiveCD to install it gives me a GNOME error with something to do with the Settings Daemon. Possibly related?
[11:20] <frandavid100> thanks monkeric
[11:20] <drael> Can someone help me with my Wine
[11:20] <cafuego> edd_: Install the package; then either ereload the wireless drivers (or just reboot)
[11:20] <drael> I think I spilled it
[11:20] <edd_> ok
[11:20] <kudzubane> delliott: dunno, the error you've described sounds unrelated (unless hw instability)
[11:20] <uksprout> kudzubane: sometimes I have sound but after a reboot I can lose it, if I reboot several times or turn the system off it will eventually come back
[11:20] <drael> When I try to install the MFC libraries, it gets stuck on 0%
[11:20] <monkeric> oh right you don't need sudo, I'm still stuck in FC5 land ;)
[11:21] <frandavid100> bye guys!
[11:21] <uksprout> kudzubane: it appears to effect all apps
[11:21] <Crescendo> I configured a few Gdesklets, and now when I try opening gdesklet, it just sits there, and hangs.  How do I fix this?
[11:21] <Dreamglider> linux_kid, source allso ?
[11:21] <kudzubane> uksprout: what variant of ubuntu?
[11:21] <linux_kid> Dreamslider: ya, source too
[11:21] <delliott> kudzubane: Apple provide hardware analysis CDs and I ran that earlier. It showed no problems.
[11:21] <uksprout> kudzubane: 6.10 latest
[11:22] <kudzubane> uksprout: ubuntu or kubuntu?
[11:22] <uksprout> kudzubane: Ubuntu
[11:22] <kudzubane> delliott: try the less graphical install (if that is an option for the ppc install cd)
[11:22] <FFForever> how do i enable direct rendering on my laptop?, i have a compaq presario v2555us
[11:23] <uksprout> kudzubane: Ubuntu uname= 2.6.17-10-generic
[11:23] <linux_kid> Just an open question to all you MAC users: why can we not just take the airport drivers for your wireless and install them in linux, as osx is unix based?
[11:23] <kudzubane> FFForever: what graphics chipset
[11:23] <FFForever> ati xpress
[11:23] <nikin> hy
[11:23] <cyber_brain_mfkg> hello!!!
[11:23] <FFForever>  VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE)
[11:23] <Dreamglider> linux_kid, ok but i cant find the GUI
[11:24] <kudzubane> uksprout: that is strange, the fact you get sound at all indicates alsa working at least initially, dunno about losing sound, perhaps you are running into an oss/alsa blocking issue
[11:24] <delliott> linux_kid: Properietary chipset, I believe.
[11:24] <cyber_brain_mfkg> how to use ssh???
[11:24] <kudzubane> FFForever: 200m?
[11:24] <delliott> cyber_brain_mfkg: ssh user@hostname
[11:24] <linux_kid> delliot: thanx
[11:24] <FFForever> i have no clue, i got that from lspci
[11:24] <linux_kid> Dreamslider: do u have universe repositories allowed?
[11:24] <cyber_brain_mfkg> what can i use 4 user and hostname?
[11:24] <delliott> cyber_brain_mfkg: You should have been told that.
[11:24] <Zaehlas> TSWoodV: WOOTAGE I found it!  And now, thinking back, I totally understand what happened.   In automatix, I installed the optional scripts to open nautilus under root permissions.  I've done this a number of times to manipulate files, when it's easier for me to do in a graphical environment, rather than terminal.  the "/root" directory is the "home" directory for the root account.  it has it's own .trash directory, which du didn't see for
[11:24] <delliott> You use ssh to connect securely (arguable) to a remote mahcine.
[11:25] <uksprout> kudzubane: it is very annoying checked the various website but cannot come up with anything.... how do I check for the oss/alsa blocking problem... sorry new to linux
[11:25] <kudzubane> FFForever: if it is indeed the infamous 200m, chances are you will not be getting any 3d acceleration
[11:25] <linux_kid> Dreamglider  do u have universe repositories allowed?
[11:25] <FFForever> ive seen it done
[11:25] <AsheD> is : a special char in regex stuff?
[11:25] <kudzubane> uksprout: this is my first full day with ubuntu, so take my advice with a grain of salt
[11:25] <cyber_brain_mfkg> look! i want 2 access my comp wrom my work where is installed M$ winXP
[11:25] <Dreamglider> linux_kid, yes
[11:25] <FFForever> and i guess it is the indamous 200m

[11:26] <ubotu> TSWoodV: You're Welcome!
[11:26] <delliott> cyber_brain_mfkg: It is unlikely that you can SSH into your Windows XP machine unless it is running an SSH server.
[11:26] <TSWoodV> Zaehlas: Good job!
[11:26] <TSWoodV> LOL!
[11:26] <kudzubane> uksprout: you got flashplugin going under firefox?
[11:26] <cyber_brain_mfkg> i have ubuntu at home
[11:26] <uksprout> kudzubane: yes but my problem is in vlc or the like before running firefoz
[11:26] <Dreamglider> linux_kid, edgy
[11:26] <cyber_brain_mfkg> and i want 2 access from work(winXP)
[11:27] <Zaehlas> TSWoodV: Gah, wish I'd know root had a home account, and all that.  it all makes sense in hindsight.  hehe.  just gotta be more careful.  if I HADN'T deleted 36 gigs of files as Root, I may never have found this problem, hehe
[11:27] <delliott> cyber_brain_mfkg: Ok. You need to know the hostname (perhaps IP address) of your home machine.
[11:27] <hutchy> cyber_brain_mfkg, need opensshd
[11:27] <delliott> hutchy: Doesn't Ubuntu come with a sshd by default?
[11:27] <TSWoodV> Zaehlas: You learned something today.  It's a good day! ;-)
[11:27] <cafuego> delliott: not installed, no.
[11:27] <Vladaz> hello
[11:28] <Jinkguns> Could someone tell me why OpenOffice crashes when I try to paste from it to a text box, such as thunderbird or a Gaim IM?
[11:28] <Vladaz> when i run anjuta new gtk+ project and execute it, it says, that glade file couldn't be found, does it suppose to do?
[11:28] <aimtrainer> hi! Can anyone tell me a good way to convert video files (mostly xvid) for my cellphone which understands mpg and 3gp? I googled a bit and found some ways for 3gp but always failed at getting ffmpeg to support 3gp 8[
[11:28] <trappist> Jinkguns: I think I saw a bug report on that
[11:28] <Vladaz> glade file is in its place
[11:28] <Vladaz> what's wrong?
[11:28] <uksprout> kudzubane: I could be wrong but I don't think it is coming from there,  the alsa mixer lists three devices my soundblaster,  a via 8235 & CMI 9739 (which is the only OSS device)
[11:28] <linux_kid> Dreamglider: ok let me search around packages.ubuntu.com unless you dont want the gui...
[11:29] <cyber_brain_mfkg> ok that means i shoul install opensshd first???
[11:29] <monkeric> cyber_brain_mkfg: this is where I got the info to set up my sshd:  http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howot-install-ubuntu-linux-ssh-server.html
[11:29] <Jinkguns> trappist: is there a work around?
[11:29] <cyber_brain_mfkg> *should
[11:29] <Dreamglider> linux_kid, pleas i need the gui i suck at terminal
[11:29] <kudzubane> uksprout: flash is just one easy way to find out whether oss is causing issues
[11:29] <kudzubane> uksprout: the 7.x version of plugin uses oss
[11:29] <kudzubane> uksprout: other apps could be doing the same
[11:29] <uksprout> kudzubane: ah ok...
[11:29] <Zaehlas> TSWoodV hehe, yep.  thanks.  =D  I'll be back with future problems, at some point.
[11:29] <lehaid> thanks for all the help, got what i wanted to work, good day !
[11:29] <Zaehlas> Later all

[11:30] <Samus_Aran> kudzubane: I meant, what apps does it show using CPU time, and check the column that divides up the "time" into I/O wait, user processes, system processes, etc.
[11:31] <linux_kid> Dreamglider: here we go... http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/net/ndisgtk
[11:31] <Dreamglider> linux_kid, not that i hate it, i just suck at it.
[11:31] <uksprout> kudzubane: no audio from flash game
[11:31] <kudzubane> Samus_Aran: as i mentioned earlier, that's the funny thing, cpu usag is not abnormally high, and disk usage is not excessive
[11:32] <Dreamglider> linux_kid, where is the GUI file?
[11:32] <Samus_Aran> kudzubane: check what I said, it divides it up
[11:32] <BryanJorgenson> Can anyone help me recover data from an ext3 partition? The inodes were not deleted!
[11:32] <Vladaz> anyone
[11:32] <Vladaz> please
[11:32] <Vladaz> help me
[11:32] <Samus_Aran> kudzubane: e.g. Cpu(s): 13.9%us, 10.4%sy, 27.7%ni, 45.0%id,  0.9%wa,  1.1%hi,  1.0%si,  0.0%st
[11:32] <kudzubane> uksprout: try something that isn't utilizing oss
[11:32] <monkeric> cyber_brain_mfkg: it's a bit involved.  You need to have the openssh (sshd) server daemon running, and you need to install the public half of your key (from work) in your sshd list of remote hosts.  you can generate a key pair from your ssh client at work.
[11:32] <Samus_Aran> kudzubane: and a wait time of less than 1.00 is completely fine
[11:32] <Vladaz> when i run anjuta new gtk+ project and execute it, it says, that glade file couldn't be found, does it suppose to do?
[11:32] <Samus_Aran> kudzubane: I mean a load average
[11:32] <Vladaz> what's wrong?
[11:33] <pac> How do I do a full install of Ubuntu?   Like install all the packages that have the little ubuntu logo in Synaptic.  Thanks!
 that hasnt worked?
[11:33] <kudzubane> Samus_Aran: top - 17:32:55 up  5:10,  2 users,  load average: 0.69, 0.68, 0.64
[11:33] <kudzubane> Tasks: 103 total,   1 running, 101 sleeping,   0 stopped,   1 zombie
[11:33] <kudzubane> Cpu(s):  0.0%us,  0.0%sy,  0.0%ni, 86.7%id,  0.0%wa,  6.7%hi,  6.7%si,  0.0%st
[11:33] <kudzubane> sorry about the errant paste, folks
[11:33] <Samus_Aran> kudzubane: 1.00 just means it is running at peak efficiency, for every CPU task that completes, there is one more waiting to be processed
[11:33] <uri3000> I know this has gotta be something simple, but I'm having trouble accessing Disc 2 of the Quake IV installation discs. I get an error saying I have insufficient permissions to access the contents of the disc. Help? :D
[11:33] <Samus_Aran> kudzubane: it's once it gets above 1.00 that things will start to slow down
[11:34] <kudzubane> Samus_Aran: on other install (distro), i average 0.00 most of the time
[11:34] <dragonfyre13> Alright guys, I just wrote a full guide on the Averatec 2370. Anyone wanna check it out for me? http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=308152
[11:34] <pac> uri3000 run sudo?
[11:34] <Dreamglider> linux_kid, ok i have the file
[11:34] <Samus_Aran> kudzubane: so on your system, the only thing using any time are "hi" and "si", of which I know neither, heh
[11:34] <uksprout> kudzubane: any suggestions as to what doesn't?
[11:34] <pac> How do I do a full install of Ubuntu?   Like install all the packages that have the little ubuntu logo in Synaptic.  Thanks!
[11:34] <kudzubane> Samus_Aran: perhaps ubuntu  is just busier
[11:34] <Samus_Aran> kudzubane: you should check what those two mean from the man page, then you can track down what is using up time
[11:35] <edd_> ne1 else able to help with BCM4318 card?
[11:35] <dragonfyre13> pac: you don't. Why do you want that?\
[11:35] <linux_kid> Dreamglider: install the file, its a .deb, s it should go smoothly
[11:35] <Samus_Aran> pac: just keep installing things as you need them, or have some vague interest in them
[11:35] <Dreamglider> linux_kid, done
[11:35] <kudzubane> uksprout: play an mp3 file, most players these days are alsa
[11:35] <pac> dragonfyre and samus_aran: thanks!     good idea =]
[11:35] <Samus_Aran> pac: if you install things you know you will never even look at, it will just slow down things like upgrades and scanning the packages database
[11:36] <dragonfyre13> pac: no problem.
[11:36] <Samus_Aran> pac: it won't make the system unstable like Windows, however =)
[11:36] <linux_kid> good, no go to Sytstem->Administration->Windows Drivers (or somthing like that...)
[11:36] <uri3000> pac: i don't understand what you want me to do. i know what sudo is, more or less, but i don't understand how to use it in conjunction with reading a cd rom. :P
[11:36] <pac> Samus: seems like theres already a lot of stuff pre installed that i dont use
[11:36] <Samus_Aran> pac: I have around 8GiB of Ubuntu packages installed, I think
[11:36] <delliott> Like KDE
[11:36] <delliott> KDE runs like a dog yet it is sitll there
[11:36] <dragonfyre13> pac: su remove it.
[11:36] <delliott> And trying to remove all of it seems impossible.
[11:36] <dragonfyre13> delliott: so remove it.
[11:37] <dragonfyre13> delliott: grab deborphan
[11:37] <Samus_Aran> pac: I install everything that even looks a bit interesting, heh.  I devoted a 20GiB partition just for Ubuntu and its files, so I could install without worry
[11:37] <pac> uri3000: sudo nautilus  will give you a file browser with root access.   from there you can change file permissions etc
[11:37] <edd_> nebody?
[11:37] <uri3000> thanks
[11:37] <linux_kid> Dreamglider: good, no go to Sytstem->Administration->Windows Drivers (or somthing like that...)
[11:37] <dragonfyre13> edd_: what was the ?
[11:37] <edd_>  BCM4318 card?? can u help
[11:37] <pac> Samus all those marked with the ubuntu logo seem interesting to me =]
[11:37] <dragonfyre13> edd_: what chipset?
[11:37] <Samus_Aran> delliott: just don't use it as your desktop environment, there are still numerous great KDE apps that don't have good equivalents elsewhere
[11:38] <Dreamglider> linux_kid, ok now what
[11:38] <Samus_Aran> delliott: e.g. I use kchmviewer, k3b and so on with ICEWM
[11:38] <edd_> i had it on the old distro and it worked for an hour, new distro sez ther is no wireless signal
[11:38] <dragonfyre13> edd_: what chipset?
[11:38] <edd_> errrm
[11:38] <Samus_Aran> pac: you can't just install all of them at once, as many of them conflict with one another (replacements for each other)
[11:38] <dragonfyre13> edd_: ok, lemme see then.
[11:38] <delliott> Samus_Aran: Yeah, I know. I used Kile.
[11:38] <dragonfyre13> edd_: it's ok, just wanted to know if you knew off hand.
[11:38] <Samus_Aran> pac: but feel free to spend an hour going down the list clicking as you like
[11:39] <edd_> ok
[11:39] <kudzubane> Samus_Aran: hmmm... perhaps the hal-damon
[11:39] <phobiac> Anyone have any experience with partitioning a drive with gparted? I'm just wondering if deleteing a partion and expanding the partition to the left of it preserves the data from the deleted partition.
[11:39] <Samus_Aran> delliott: what is Kile ?  never heard of that one
[11:39] <edd_> dell inspiron 1300 celeron m 1.6 broadcom  BCM4318 card
[11:39] <delliott> Samus_Aran: LaTeX editor.
[11:39] <dragonfyre13> edd_: what was the chipset again?
[11:39] <edd_> idk
[11:39] <dragonfyre13> edd_: err, the card.
[11:39] <linux_kid> dreamglider: when you put the card in while in windows, did you install a driver?
[11:39] <Samus_Aran> delliott: ah
[11:39] <edd_>  BCM4318 card
[11:39] <dragonfyre13> thnks
[11:39] <linux_kid> Dreamglider: gtg, bbl
[11:40] <pac> phobiac the deleted partition data will still physically be there -- but inaccessible with software
[11:40] <Samus_Aran> phobiac: I would definitely consult the documentation on that one before clicking any 'okay' buttons, but as far as I know, gparted is supposed to do non-destructive resizes
[11:40] <poolkey172> hello
[11:40] <Samus_Aran> phobiac: you might need to already have free space after the partition, though
[11:40] <phobiac> Okay, thank you. I'm just worried about the files themselves.
[11:41] <uri3000> pac: I figured it out, thanks!
[11:41] <poolkey172> how can see what harddisks are available from busybox ?
[11:42] <iagoba> i have problems by changing my screen resolution
[11:42] <dragonfyre13> edd_: Ok, you have two choices. First, the linux kernel comes with a native driver for this in edgy. Second, you can look into NdisWrapper if that doesn't work/
[11:42] <alek66> I get a ACPI: Critical trip point and my computer shuts down without any warnings....
[11:42] <x-fak> could i remove ipv6 support with ubuntu breezy ?
[11:42] <edd_> ndiswrapper doesnt work
[11:42] <Samus_Aran> gotta go.
[11:42] <poolkey172> anyone ?
[11:43] <dragonfyre13> edd_: whattya mean?
[11:43] <alek66> edd_,  what is wrong with your ndiswrapper....?
[11:43] <Dreamglider> linux_kid, that didnt do anything"
[11:43] <edd_> i tried it with the code from the forums erlier and it wouldnt work
[11:43] <dragonfyre13> edd_: oh, so it doesn't work YET.
[11:43] <edd_> the driver was there there was no errors
[11:43] <dragonfyre13> edd_: sometimes it takes some finess.
[11:43] <edd_> lol
[11:43] <edd_> like?
[11:43] <dragonfyre13> ^_^
[11:43] <poolkey172> dont worry I've worked it out
[11:44] <alek66> edd_,  did you cheked this one http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=498542
[11:44] <dragonfyre13> well, I don't know crap about ndiswrapper.
[11:44] <graham_100_> kim^j u still there??
[11:44] <alek66> I get a ACPI: Critical trip point and my computer shuts down without any warnings.... does anyone know how to fix this?
[11:44] <edd_> no i havent seen that 1
[11:45] <dragonfyre13> edd_: looks like you have some good help. Just let people know that you are having an issue with getting ndiswrapper to work with your broadcom card, and you will get the help you need.
[11:45] <edd_> kk
[11:45] <x-fak> can i remove ipv6 network interface? which package should i uninstall to do this?
[11:45] <Stormx2> Yo. Is there an app for ubuntu that will periodicly check mail, and if there is anything new, can pass the details along to a script?
[11:45] <dragonfyre13> edd_: sometimes the hardest thing to do is ask the right question.
[11:45] <edd_> yeah i know what u mean
[11:45] <alek66> dragonfyre13, TRue! asking the right question is a problem
[11:45] <dragonfyre13> edd_: even though I don't know how to solve you issue, I do know the question to ask.
[11:45] <edd_> yeah?
[11:46] <Kim^J> graham_100_: Yep
[11:46] <dragonfyre13> edd_: alek66: have a good day guys. Check out my newest forum post, and let me know if I should keep them up. http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=308152
[11:46] <dragonfyre13> edd_: looks like you have some good help. Just let people know that you are having an issue with getting ndiswrapper to work with your broadcom card, and you will get the help you need.
[11:47] <edd_> ok guys im off, will have a go at that, will come back on 2moro if i get no luck

[11:49] <graham_100_> kim^j can't remember now
[11:50] <Kim^J> graham_100_: sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt
[11:50] <Crescendo> I configured a few Gdesklets, and now when I try opening gdesklet, it just sits there, and hangs.  How do I fix this?
[11:50] <poolkey172> HELLO ! How do I use the initramfs shell ?
[11:50] <graham_100_> kim^j doesn't say anything
[11:50] <poolkey172> I need to get an output similiar like dmesg
[11:50] <uksprout> kudzubane: no audio from rhytym box sorry took so long had to install plugins for the app
[11:50] <pac> Crescendo: find the gdesklets configuration file and restore a backup or try renaming it
[11:51] <Dreamglider> can anyone help me with wireless connetions ?
[11:51] <Kim^J> graham_100_: Go check what's in /mnt then! :)
[11:51] <TonySoprano> some1 can tell me how to upgrade a breezy badger to the last version?
[11:51] <Kim^J> TonySoprano: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[11:51] <Kim^J> But I would recommend a new install of Edgy Eft. :)
[11:51] <tonyyarusso> Kim^J, TonySoprano: not true!
[11:51] <TonySoprano> thank i try this in a root bash
[11:52] <tonyyarusso> !upgrade | TonySoprano
[11:52] <ubotu> TonySoprano: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[11:52] <graham_100_> kim^j now i cant open the drive but it's mounted
[11:52] <TonySoprano> hmmmm
[11:52] <delliott> I tried to run live video=ofonly and it is just sitting at a peach coloured screen with a mouse. Any ideas?
[11:52] <tonyyarusso> Kim^J: Just a flat out dist-upgrade will break things often.
[11:52] <Kim^J> graham_100_: How do you try to open it?
[11:52] <poolkey172> Can someone help me with initramfs please ?
[11:52] <Kim^J> tonyyarusso: I dunno. I don't use it.
[11:52] <uri3000> Does anybody play Quake IV on Ubuntu?
[11:52] <Stormx2> Yo. Is there an app for ubuntu that will periodicly check mail, and if there is anything new, can pass the details along to a script?
[11:52] <TonySoprano> so i follow you tonyyarusso
[11:52] <graham_100_> kim^j double click and open in right click meu *neither work
[11:53] <lokki> i did a apt-get dist-upgrade and my system froze on the configuration step witch caused my system unworkable, just an other story
[11:53] <Kim^J> graham_100_: In a shell: cd /mnt
[11:53] <Kim^J> graham_100_: Then: ls -lA
[11:53] <recepcion1> HI
[11:53] <Kim^J> graham_100_: Then try this: touch hello
[11:53] <bran> Are there no 32bit emulation libs provided with AMD64 version of Ubuntu????
[11:53] <Kim^J> graham_100_: And finally: df -h
[11:53] <recepcion1> JUAREZ
[11:53] <linux_kid> Dreamglider: i am sorry, dinner calls!
[11:54] <Kim^J> recepcion1: Hi there.
[11:54] <Dreamglider> linux_kid,  it's ok mate
[11:54] <lokki> bran: read the amd64 howto's
[11:54] <recepcion1> JUAREZ CHIHUAHUA  MEXICO
[11:54] <lokki> u can have 32 bit but on a chroot'ed env
[11:54] <Sadness> hi
[11:54] <linux_kid> Dreamglider: ok, lets see... did you have to install anything to get the wireless working in windows?
[11:54] <bran> lokki: why no emul-* libs?
[11:54] <Sadness> I have a problem
[11:54] <TonySoprano> pls where can i see my actual ubuntu version? not kernel version
[11:54] <Sadness> I installed aiglx on edgy
[11:55] <graham_100_> kim^j still wont open
[11:55] <fildo> now thats just Sadness
[11:55] <Sadness> I upgraded to the beta nvidia drivers
[11:55] <Kim^J> graham_100_: What does it say then?
[11:55] <bran> lokki: I have to chroot just to run mplayer geez, never fucking mind, back to gentoo
[11:55] <lokki> well ask the authors i really havent read so far about 64-32 mixed mode
[11:55] <Sadness> but now I can't switch to the virtual terminals
[11:55] <lokki> the prob i think is the naming conversion of the libs
[11:55] <linux_kid> TonySoprano: go to System->About Ubuntu  ... it should tell u somewhere in the text
[11:55] <graham_100_> kim^j nothing
[11:55] <Sadness> control+alt+f1 doesn't work
[11:55] <Dreamglider> linux_kid, yes drivers for the card
[11:55] <poolkey172> FINALLY ! AFTER 24 HOURS OF MESSING AROUND I got dual raid cards windows plus ubuntu working together : PHEW
[11:55] <Kim^J> graham_100_: Huh?
[11:56] <bimberi> !version | TonySoprano
[11:56] <ubotu> TonySoprano: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type 'lsb_release -a' in the Terminal.
[11:56] <graham_100_> kim^j and when i try to double click open it nothing happens same as before
[11:56] <poolkey172> drink time for me
[11:56] <pac> poolkey: gratz
[11:56] <Dreamglider> linux_kid, but i let windows controll the card
[11:56] <Kim^J> graham_100_: try this: cd / && ls -lA
[11:56] <poolkey172> pac : thanks it was a pain
[11:56] <graham_100_> kim^j getting fed up with all these problems now
[11:56] <linux_kid> Dreamglider: do you still have the cd or the file on your windows partition?
[11:56] <Alystair> is there a way to get ZFS working in Ubuntu? ;D
[11:56] <Sadness> it works on gdm
[11:56] <Sadness> but not after the login
[11:56] <bimberi> poolkey172: don't forget you learnt dpkg as well :P
[11:57] <poolkey172> lol @ bimb
[11:57] <graham_100_> kim^j whats all that writing for then?
[11:57] <Dreamglider> linux_kid, the x-micro folder is on thewindows partion
[11:57] <pac> graham_100 sounds like standard unix use to me
[11:57] <Sadness> any suggestion?
[11:57] <poolkey172> takes 10seconds to boot kubuntu :)
[11:58] <graham_100_> pac are these usual problems?
[11:58] <linux_kid> Dreamglider: do you have an exe or inf and sys file from the windows partition or from xmicro's site?
[11:58] <poolkey172> I'll produce some bootcharts
[11:58] <Kim^J> graham_100_: cd is change directory. And in that example: change directory to / && (and) list -Almost all and list modes.
[11:58] <pac> poolkey: try xubuntu.. woo
[11:58] <poolkey172> pac : I use fluxbox with a little kde
[11:58] <graham_100_> kim^j is there a better linux free programme than 6.06lts to use??
[11:58] <Kim^J> graham_100_: So... What did the command output?
[11:58] <Dreamglider> linux_kid, i have the CD here!
[11:58] <Dreamglider> good enough?
[11:59] <cyber_brain_mfkg> how to exit edit mode in vi?
[11:59] <bimberi> cyber_brain_mfkg: <ESC>
[11:59] <graham_100_> kim^j there is too mutch to write out
[11:59] <Kim^J> graham_100_: What you mean better? Faster? Smoother? Easier? Harder? Better suited for that work?
[11:59] <cyber_brain_mfkg> and how to save?
[11:59] <Kim^J> graham_100_: WHAT DID IT WRITE???
[11:59] <bimberi> cyber_brain_mfkg: :wq!
[12:00] <cyber_brain_mfkg> ok
[12:00] <linux_kid> Dreamglider: ok, load the cd and search it for an instalation exe
[12:00] <Kim^J> graham_100_: cd / and then ls -lA
[12:00] <cyber_brain_mfkg> thanx
[12:00] <graham_100_> kim^j is there a paste bin on here?
[12:00] <Kim^J> And then tell me what it said.
[12:00] <bimberi> cyber_brain_mfkg: er, :w!  if you don't want to quit as well
[12:00] <Dreamglider> linux_kid, ok i have it
[12:00] <Kim^J> graham_100_: http://www.pastebin.ca
[12:00] <bimberi> cyber_brain_mfkg: yw :)

[12:00] <pac> graham_100 you need to read up on general linux use

[12:00] <Kim^J> pac: He also needs to read the answers he get.
