[09:42] <enquest> I got a VIA graph. chip ... I can't find any where how to install beryl, xgl ... with this VIA graph chip?
[09:42] <we2by> !dvd
[09:42] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[09:42] <bun-bun> !esd
[09:42] <ubotu> esd is the enlightened sound deamon. It's deprecated, use !alsa instead
[09:42] <bjv> hm, i play dvd's by pointing mplayer to something in /dev
[09:42] <bun-bun> !alsa
[09:42] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If you are still having problems with sound, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems  and http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin
[09:43] <bjv> you can of course mount the .iso, but that's not really at all how dvd's are played.
[09:44] <we2by> !iso
[09:44] <ubotu> To mount an .iso image: sudo mount -o loop my.iso /some/mountpoint - bin/cue can be converted to iso with bchunk  .iso images of Ubuntu CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com Always verify the .iso before burning, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[09:45] <bjv> when you play disc media, you dont mount it into your filesystem
[09:46] <dsb> I don't think my dns is working?
[09:47] <dsb> I'm using zoneedit, but is there something I do not have configured correctly on my ubuntu for my domain name to be resolved?
[09:48] <sky123> dsb: when you say dns is not working...maybe a nslookup ip , then nslookup nameofbox...then thatll tell you if you have proper forward and reverse rules setup correctly
[09:48] <sky123> dsb: also check /etc/resolv.conf
[09:50] <xpoint> !raid
[09:50] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[09:50] <sky123> you know..while were sort of on the topic..anybody sucessfully got the tftp/dhcp network install to work out for them?
[09:50] <sky123> someone on here was asking about that yesterday
[09:51] <sky123> and if so...could contribute a write up??
[09:52] <dsb> strange, nslookup first reports a not existing server, then a non-authoritive answer to my isp. My /etc/resolv.conf is not correct. Hmm I better find out my namerserver?
[09:54] <Spee_Der> Good morning everyone.
[09:55] <dsb> what is the correct format for more than one nameserver in resolv.conf?
[09:55] <dsb> each line begin with nameserver?
[09:55] <dsb> and is there a priority?
[09:56] <bun-bun> dsb# yes, and top to bottom
[09:56] <Spee_Der> domain abc.aus.century.com
[09:56] <Spee_Der> nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:56] <Spee_Der> nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:56] <Spee_Der> The example contains entries in the resolv.conf file for a host that is not a name server.
[09:56] <sky123> yep thats it
[09:57] <sky123> but did you mean " that is a name server"
[09:57] <sky123> because it does search against those...
[10:02] <eneried> hello, i need a little help, in dapper i have a disk manager, in edgy there's not such tool. How can i edit my mount points, avoiding the use of the new hellborn edgy fstab?
[10:02] <sky123> dsb: so you made this entry...lets say..for example...on register.com to say " hey root servers" here is the authoritative dns server  and here is the record?
[10:02] <dsb> I think now my /etc/hosts is messed up?
[10:03] <dsb> sky123, indeed it was working a few days ago, before I got crazy enough to try drupal
[10:03] <sky123> dsb: so anyone should be able to hit your domain name from the outside right? what is it?
[10:03] <RAOF> eneried: The UUID stuff in edgy's fstab is strictly optional.  You don't need to use it.  /dev/sda3 or something still works.
[10:03] <luminousnerd> Spee_Der: Eh, I've actually been googling a while with no luck (except some E17 stuff)
[10:03] <dsb> www.ripperscallions.com
[10:03] <sky123> k one sec
[10:04] <Spee_Der> luminousnerd: Hmmmm....
[10:05] <dsb> I can't hit it locally, and I was able to earlier
[10:06] <luminousnerd> Hmm, my firefox is acting strange.  It doesn't wrap text for a looooooooong time
[10:07] <Spee_Der> luminousnerd: One site to try is -->> http://www.bluechillies.com/details/20103.html
[10:07] <Spee_Der> luminousnerd: Yeah, my firefox is acting odd also..... It gets the jitters from time to time......
[10:08] <luminousnerd> Thanks for the link
[10:08] <Spee_Der> luminousnerd: Sometimes it also shrinks instead of staying maximized or full-screen......
[10:08] <luminousnerd> Wtf...windows?
[10:08] <Spee_Der> luminousnerd: Nope, for liunx....
[10:09] <Fletch229> this is probably a stupid question but how do iget the ubuntu live cd to boot without the dang progress bar so i can see the boot messages
[10:09] <luminousnerd> Platform:PC (Windows/DOS)  Operating Systems:Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP
[10:13] <Spee_Der> wow
[10:13] <sky123> yeah..the power of irc...lol
[10:13] <dsb> sky123: ok, but where is my screw up? with zoneedit, my resolv.conf, my /etc/hosts, or something else?
[10:13] <SperMite> can any one please send me a Demonoid registration invitation code
[10:14] <sky123> dsb: i think a good bet would be on zonedit
[10:14] <cypher1> what happened ??
[10:14] <dsb> I was afraid of that, but I didn't change anything with them
[10:14] <timbobsteve> hey all
[10:14] <timbobsteve> anyone use MacOnLinux ?
[10:14] <sky123> dsb: see..the root servers look to the zonedits as authoritative...and if the records are messed up..well then there you have it..
[10:15] <luminousnerd> eneried: I'm sorry what did I help you with? >.<
[10:15] <cypher1> what happened ??
[10:15] <sky123> dsb: id bet you the fields you entered..there for the ip pointing to the domain name and vice versa are somehow messed up
[10:15] <Spee_Der> cypher1: It is called a net-split.....
[10:16] <Spee_Der> cypher1: It happens from time to time.....
[10:16] <Spee_Der> !netsplit
[10:16] <ubotu> netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
[10:16] <willwork4foo> anyone know what the hell is going on with the xda-dev web server? it would appear that a large percentage of the UK is unable to access any of the http content
[10:16] <dsb> I haven't changed anything with zoneedit
[10:16] <sky123> yep....like i said...the power of irc ...;)
[10:16] <cypher1> Spee_Der, thank you :)
[10:16] <Spee_Der> Yeh sky
[10:16] <dsb> and it worked
[10:17] <dsb> my ip <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:17] <willwork4foo> we can access the FTP site, and can ping the web servers - but browsers are timing out all across the UK when trying to browse to http://forum.xda-developers.com, or http://wiki.xda-developers.com...
[10:17] <luminousnerd> Will some windows games just install without a hitch if I run them normally through Wine?!
[10:17] <luminousnerd> No problems with WCIII so far! it's crazy!
[10:17] <dsb> that ip hits my webserver
[10:17] <sky123> dsb: <IP_ADDRESS> resolves to adsl-75-26-182-11.dsl.scrm01.sbcglobal.net
[10:18] <willwork4foo> did anyone read what I said? or does nobody here give a crap about the people in the UK
[10:19] <dsb> sky123, that would be my dsl modem, which I use zoneedit
[10:19] <sky123> dsb: the adsl page points me to your box successfully
[10:19] <cypher1> Willow_dodo, do you use any proxy server to connect to web ?
[10:20] <sky123> dsb: the domain name....take a look... ripperscallions.com resolves to ripperscallions.com.
[10:20] <sky123> dsb:you see the issue right??
[10:20] <dsb> no
[10:20] <dsb> I understand, but I don't see where my conf is messed up?
[10:20] <willwork4foo> cypher1, was that me you referred the question to?
[10:20] <Spee_Der> Geeesh
[10:21] <sky123> dsb: well the ip points to the adsl.blah..blah...which the authoritative dns server says cool!
[10:21] <Spee_Der> My opera just went closed for no reason.....
[10:21] <twilight> Hi all. I think I've a problem with hal in edgy. When I try to burn a CD, the system doesn't recognize it, and ask to insert a blank cd, . serpentine doesn't give any error, bonfire: " No property volume.disc.capacity on device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_empty_unknown". Suggestions?
[10:21] <cypher1> willwork4foo, sorry yes it was to u
[10:21] <sky123> dsb: however...the ripperscallions..points to no ip...it points back to the name itself...that is the issue
[10:21] <Spee_Der> willwork4foo: Please, sent those links again, my browser went south just then. Thanks.
[10:21] <willwork4foo> cypher1: I have spoken to around 30 people in the UK, and NONE of us can view the site. across a wide area of the UK, using different ISPs.
[10:21] <apikoros> hi.i want to have a menu option in GRUB which restores a particular partition (not the boot partition) from an image using a small shell script. what's the best way to do that? define a new init level?
[10:22] <willwork4foo> http://forum.xda-developers.com and http://wiki.xda-developers.com
[10:22] <Spee_Der> ty
[10:22] <willwork4foo> oh, and http://www.xda-developers.com
[10:22] <Spee_Der> Got into the first one all okay.....
[10:22] <sky123> dsb: hence the problem is on the zoneedit...which is your record for authoritative dns...once you fix it...it will take time to propogate to the root servers...and then you will need to check for proper forward forward and reverse resolution
[10:22] <willwork4foo> in fact - NONE of the http sites work from xda-developers.com
[10:22] <willwork4foo> Spee_Der, are you in the UK?
[10:23] <Spee_Der> Got into that one also, no problem.....
[10:23] <willwork4foo> Spee_Der, are you in the UK
[10:23] <willwork4foo> ok/
[10:23] <willwork4foo> so - it's working fine outside the UK.
[10:23] <willwork4foo> those links time out for every person I know in the UK
[10:24] <Spee_Der> hmmm
[10:24] <cypher1> willwork4foo, did you ping using the ip address or name ?
[10:24] <willwork4foo> cypher1: ping works fine
[10:24] <dsb> well I clearly have ripperscallions.com and www.ripperscallions.com pointing to <IP_ADDRESS> on zoneedit and it has been that way for a few days. no changes were made and it worked. I initially waited for the propagation, because I understood that it would take time.
[10:24] <willwork4foo> I can ping the URLs no problems at all
[10:24] <sky123> id do a nice trace route on the http://www.xda-developers.com/ and see where it drops off for you
[10:24] <willwork4foo> sky123, ping works. ping responds.
[10:24] <eneried> luminousnerd, you helped me about fstad
[10:25] <sobersabre> hi guys, I've got an mp3 question. idv1/2 etc.
[10:25] <willwork4foo> some people in the UK can view the pages, it would seem - but most cannot.
[10:25] <SperMite> Anyone in here a registered demonoid user?
[10:25] <dsb> I had generic static html where www.ripperscallions.com was hit. now damn drupal has my panties in a bunch
[10:25] <cypher1> willwork4foo, can you try telnet to port 80 of the server ?
[10:25] <sobersabre> I have mp3 file with meta info. I am fixing it ( I don't remember with which enc. I encoded this CD )
[10:25] <willwork4foo> cypher1: no, that times out.
[10:26] <sobersabre> ( I remember downloading it from Artist's site actually )
[10:26] <dsb> sorry sky123, you have been very helpful and I appreciate very much!
[10:26] <sobersabre> anyway, the meta-info needs to be fixed.
[10:26] <enquest> does easyubuntu work for edgy?
[10:26] <rickyfingers> sobersabre: you try opening the .mp3 file with a hex editor?
[10:26] <sobersabre> rickyfingers moment.
[10:26] <sobersabre> Usually I can edit with amarok.
[10:26] <willwork4foo> cypher: I am fairly sure that some idiot has set some IP block that has affected a large number of UK internet users
[10:26] <rickyfingers> sobersabre: then you can edit the file manually
[10:26] <sky123> dsb: np...you DO in fact have a DNS issue...and by all accounts it is a resolution issue
[10:27] <sky123> dsb: try this from a browser...
[10:27] <sobersabre> rickyfingers, but these 2 files have  CRC checksums in the COMMENT field.
[10:27] <sobersabre> and they simply DON'T GET DELETED.
[10:27] <sky123> dsb: http://adsl-75-26-182-11.dsl.scrm01.sbcglobal.net
[10:27] <Lord_Dicranius> what can I do if the directory "/lib/modules/2.6.15-257-686/build" doesn't exist?  I'm having issues compiling madwifi-ng
[10:27] <sobersabre> Is there a charset field in the mp3 file's meta info ?
[10:27] <cypher1> willwork4foo, yes maybe
[10:28] <willwork4foo> cypher1: I'd say highly probably
[10:28] <dsb> sky123: that worked
[10:28] <willwork4foo> cypher1: know anyone in here who would have admin access to unfuck this?
[10:28] <dsb> it took awhile
[10:29] <davin> I got some files in my trash bin possibly owned by root and I cant delete them, how do I access trash thru terminal?
[10:29] <cypher1> willwork4foo, no sorry
[10:29] <rickyfingers> sobersabere: I'm downloading ghexedit to have a look
[10:29] <sky123> dsb: yep...because the root servers say...the ip...72.56.182.-11 is pointed to that domain name
[10:29] <dsb> could be my isp then possibly?
[10:29] <sky123> dsb: however...the ripperscallions points not to any ip..but to ripperscallions.com.   NOTE the dot at the end
[10:30] <eternalswd> Lord_Dicranius, what do you get from uname -a
[10:30] <sky123> dsb: so im thinking record is incorret
[10:30] <dsb> ok me double checks
[10:30] <sky123> dsb: yep
[10:30] <sky123> dsb: thats a good call
[10:30] <Lord_Dicranius> eternalswd: Linux icarus 2.6.15-27-686 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Sep 16 02:13:27 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
[10:30] <rickyfingers> sobersabere: the header's the first 100 bytes
[10:31] <eternalswd> Lord_Dicranius, did you mean "/lib/modules/2.6.15-27-686/build" rather than "/lib/modules/2.6.15-257-686/build" otherwise there's you're problem
[10:32] <Lord_Dicranius> eternalswd: that first msg I sent, that was supposed to be ...15-27-686..., sorry
[10:32] <Lord_Dicranius> eternalswd: yeah, that's what I meant to type.  fat fingered it hah
[10:33] <eternalswd> Lord_Dicranius, does /lib/modules/2.6.15-27-686 exist?
[10:33] <dsb> sky123: im not sure what else to check, because zoneedit automatically defaults to the domainname that you register with, so ripperscallions.com CANNOT be changed. I have to add www.ripperscallions.com and if I wanted green.ripperscallions.com, etc.
[10:33] <Lord_Dicranius> eternalswd: yes, just the build directory is missing
[10:33] <dsb> I try without www and samething
[10:34] <sky123> dsb: the real important question is...where does www.ripperscallions.com point to ?? the ip??
[10:34] <apikoros> where does ubuntu define its inits?
[10:34] <Lord_Dicranius> eternalswd: so when I try to do the "make" command when trying to compile madwifi, it gives me an error saying that it's not a valid file or directory
[10:34] <dsb> at zoneedit, I have it pointing to the raw ip address, but apparently that is not happening?
[10:35] <eternalswd> Lord_Dicranius, are you using module-assistant to build?
[10:35] <sky123> dsb: and when you mean...raw...that is the 72.X address ??
[10:35] <sky123> dsb: so the domain ripperscallions.com should point to that ip
[10:35] <dsb> yes <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:35] <sky123> dsb: and is there a section for reverse resolution or no
[10:36] <Trainstroker> how do i make a video of my desktop... kinda like prntscrn bu a vide
[10:36] <Lord_Dicranius> eternalswd: I'm not sure what module-assistant is, so I'm supposing I'm not.  I'm just simply typing "sudo make" into a terminal while in the "/usr/src/madwifi-ng" directory
[10:36] <dsb> I'll look
[10:36] <sky123> dsb: does it give you the option of pointing ripperscallions to asdl.blah..blah blah??
[10:37] <dsb> the field says "numeric ip address

[10:40] <sky123> dsb: check the reverse resolution??

[10:48] <|thunder> zoetrope666; after you plug it in, is there anything referencing it when you do 'dmesg' ?
[10:48] <eternalswd> Lord_Dicranius, did you edit Makefile.inc?
[10:49] <zoetrope666> CD130E2NG .. It says on Windows that the driver version is 905.108.917.3
[10:49] <zoetrope666> sorry, thereisnt a lot of documentation with it
[10:49] <Lord_Dicranius> eternalswd: yes, I deleted the "-Werror" part
[10:50] <mexp> Hi.. got a prob with mounting CDs, I get error "Error: could not execute pmount"
[10:50] <sky123> dsb: it does say though reverse is Not that important..so be it..

[10:50] <sky123> dsb: the trick here is to get it to point somehow to the adsl
[10:50] <dsb> I noticed that
[10:50] <eternalswd> Lord_Dicranius, I gather your following http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=105437?
[10:50] <dsb> which it says to ask isp
[10:50] <dsb> no?
[10:51] <sky123> dsb: i wonder....does the it say instead of the ip that you can point it to adsl
[10:51] <sky123> dsb: so your domain would point to adsl..instead of the ip..??
[10:51] <Lord_Dicranius> eternalswd: well, I was following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Madwifi , but looking at them, they're pretty much the same thing

[10:53] <Jessicatz> hi, I'd like to start a program every time I log in, where do I put the command in?
[10:53] <eternalswd> Lord_Dicranius, try running "sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` gcc-3.4 subversion sharutils" and then make again
[10:53] <Jessicatz> ~/.bash_profile didn't work
[10:53] <dsb> hmm, I think i would have to use the dsl modems hostname, no?

[10:53] <zoetrope666> oooops
[10:54] <Lord_Dicranius> eternalswd: alright, give me one sec...
[10:54] <eternalswd> Lord_Dicranius, that's in the one guide but not in the one you were following
[10:55] <Lord_Dicranius> eternalswd: would I matter if I have gcc 4.x installed, rather than 3.x?
[10:55] <Spee_Der> zoetrope666: Is that a digital camera ?
[10:55] <zoetrope666> yes
[10:55] <Lord_Dicranius> eternalswd: because I've been skipping the install of gcc 3.x because I already had 4.x
[10:56] <Lord_Dicranius> eternalswd: it might've been the linux-headers cuz it's compiling right now...
[10:56] <Lord_Dicranius> eternalswd: I mean the linux-headers are being compiled via apt-get
[10:57] <eternalswd> Lord_Dicranius, gcc 3.x can coexist with 4.x, at least that should be the case
[10:57] <sky123> dsb: thats what im thinking
[10:57] <Spee_Der> zoetrope666: I have the home page for that camera, made in China. Am looking for the drivers. You need for Linux or Windows ?
[10:58] <Lord_Dicranius> eternalswd: ok, it finished compiling gcc 3.x, it's still working on the linux-headers
[10:59] <Lord_Dicranius> eternalswd: sudo make is working now
[10:59] <Lord_Dicranius> eternalswd: thanks eternalswd.  I'll go through the rest of this and check back in if I have any more issues :-)
[10:59] <eternalswd> Lord_Dicranius, okay, you should be able to just finish following the guide from there
[11:00] <Lord_Dicranius> eternalswd: thanks again
[11:00] <eternalswd> Lord_Dicranius, no problem, that's what the linux community is all about :)
[11:00] <icebank> hey guys
[11:01] <Lord_Dicranius> eternalswd: I just switched over to linux permanently not too long ago, and the community is the greatest part of it all I've come to find so far
[11:01] <eternalswd> hey icebank
[11:01] <icebank> i'm trying to compile a kernel module but it's failing because it doesn't have the modpost script. I installed the kernel headers but noticed this scipt wasn't compiled. Is there a common solution to this problem?
[11:01] <zoetrope666> spee_der: i need drivers for Linux
[11:01] <Spee_Der> zoetrope666: Ok, working on it.....
[11:02] <dsb> sky123: unfortunately, I did not read all that fine print from yahoo/att, but I'm starting to think that they don't like me server up some ripperscallions
[11:02] <roryy> icebank: hrm, i see a modpost binary at /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic/scripts/mod/modpost
[11:02] <icebank> odd
[11:03] <sky123> dsb: that could be it..id read up on the whole zonedit thing....who did you purchase the domain name from??
[11:03] <icebank> i installed linux-headers-2.6.15-27, the exact kernel i have running
[11:03] <dsb> I switched webservers and now eipiplus1.com is not hitting
[11:03] <zoetrope666> spee_der: brb - got to switch computers
[11:03] <nuts`> anyone uses or got experience with wpa_supplicant?
[11:04] <roryy> icebank: i think the package name needs an architecture (i386, whatever too)
[11:04] <icebank> roryy, ok
[11:04] <eternalswd> icebank, try "sudo apt-get linux-headers-`uname -r`"
[11:04] <roryy> icebank: try installing 'linux-headers-i386' or 'linux-headers-k7' or whatever instead; that should depend on your current kernel version
[11:04] <icebank> i'm installing -386
[11:04] <dsb> sky123, I've never had problems with zoneedit. I have a few domains with godaddy. I just moved and now using a NEW and DIFFERENT isp, namely yahoo/att, not to drop names or anything, but...
[11:04] <roryy> !linux-headers-i386
[11:04] <Trainstroker> how do i make a vid of my desktop:?
[11:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about linux-headers-i386 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:04] <roryy> !linux-headers-386
[11:04] <ubotu> linux-headers-386: Linux kernel headers on 386. In component main, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS> (edgy), package size 23 kB, installed size 52 kB
[11:05] <icebank> yup
[11:05] <icebank> it's unpacking
[11:05] <windshear> is there a tool for ubuntu to see avaliable wlan's?
[11:05] <roryy> hmm, odd that it still exists in edgy *scratches head*
[11:05] <sky123> dsb: same darn problem... take a look at dnstools.com and you immediately see what i mean
[11:05] <dsb> while I'm at it, CenturyTel works great with zoneedit!
[11:05] <sky123> dsb: lol
[11:06] <icebank> roryy, eternalswd, perfect! module compiles great now
[11:06] <icebank> thanks a lot guys
[11:06] <joachim-n> anyone else getting black lines on their top panel since Edgy?
[11:06] <dsb> so yahoo/att are onto my 'webserving' activities?
[11:06] <zoetrope666> spee_der: sorry, am back now
[11:06] <eternalswd> icebank, no problem
[11:06] <sky123> dsb: when i got mine from register...i just use them..i suppose i could have used m own bind or djbdns server..but it just plain works..
[11:07] <Spee_Der> zoetrope666: np. I am still looking.....  Not finding much more than pix and descriptions for that nice looking unit.
[11:07] <sky123> dsb: you have narrowed down though that it is dns issue. the use of something like dns tools will help to get it right though..or....learn to use dig
[11:07] <zoetrope666> spee_der: yeah i had similar problems. haha@nice looking, it looks weird i reckon  :P
[11:08] <dsb> sky123: indeed and again I appreciate your help!
[11:08] <sky123> dsb: no problem....sharpning my skills while unemployed...lol
[11:08] <Spee_Der> zoetrope666: I am kind'a surprised that linux doesn't just find it, or one of the linux programs that is.....
[11:08] <Spee_Der> zoe it did find all three of myusb cameras on its own....
[11:08] <sky123> dsb: as of yesterday..company i worked for went under...lol
[11:09] <dsb> i can understand that...   When I enter this command "wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta" I receive this error "wlanconfig: ioctl: No such device"  I did a search on the ubuntu forums for wlanconfig, but there were no answers there :-\
[11:10] <Axsuul> does anyone have a good sources.list, im trying to do an apt-get rar par2 but it says the packages aren't found
[11:10] <dsb> ya they should as soon as I get ripperscallions up
[11:10] <apokryphos> !info unrar-nonfree
[11:10] <ubotu> Package unrar-nonfree does not exist in any distro I know
[11:10] <Spee_Der> zoetrope666: I gott'a get going to work, willbe back later today.....   Good luck for now and keep trying different programs 'til you find one that finds the camera.....
[11:10] <sky123> dsb: you can have the best technology in the world..but if the business model sucks...forget it.
[11:10] <apokryphos> !find rar
[11:10] <ubotu> Found: guile-library, koverartist, libdata-hierarchy-perl, lush-library, musiclibrarian (and 7 others)
[11:10] <dsb> check us out on youtube btw
[11:10] <windshear> is there a tool for ubuntu to see avaliable wlan's?
[11:10] <Axsuul> windshear: networkmanager
[11:11] <sky123> dsb: id see if the domain provider has some tricky way for you to point the dns through themselves.
[11:11] <dsb> ya, but domain names are cheap. I've got a bucketload of domain names
[11:11] <windshear> thx
[11:11] <apokryphos> !rar | Axsuul
[11:11] <ubotu> Axsuul: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[11:11] <apokryphos> Axsuul: for par2 I think there's something called gpar or else you'll have to use the CLI app
[11:11] <apokryphos> !info par2
[11:11] <ubotu> par2: Parity Archive Volume Set, for checking and repair of files. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.4-8 (edgy), package size 101 kB, installed size 272 kB
[11:11] <sky123> dsb: I ripperscallions huh?
[11:12] <zoetrope666> spee_der, ok thanks anyway
[11:12] <LinAsH> Trainstroker, you can try with istanbul
[11:12] <dsb> I no rookie, but then again, as you can tell I'm far from up to par skill on my networkings. I have another domain that I manage, but I have it hosted
[11:12] <Axsuul> apokryphos: im trying to set up this app called "hellanzb" and they both require rar and par2
[11:13] <apokryphos> Axsuul: both of those are available from the repositories. See the info I just gave you. Though if you're going to download binary content via usenet I recommend klibido, rather.
[11:13] <dsb> ya, ripperscallions. I thought I would buy the domain for my band buddies as they keep putting up youtubes..
[11:13] <Trainstroker> thanks ash... anything that can save the file as avi or something>?
[11:13] <sky123> dsb: tenacious d...lol
[11:13] <dsb> indeed!
[11:14] <sky123> dsb: yo man if i knew you had beer, i woulda had this stuff fixed and flown over..lol
[11:14] <dsb> jimmyjah is a great harpiscordist!
[11:14] <Axsuul> apokryphos: im using gnome though
[11:14] <sky123> lol
[11:14] <MenZaLap> !offtopic
[11:14] <apokryphos> Axsuul: it'll still work perfectly on gnome
[11:14] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[11:14] <Axsuul> apokryphos: oh i see
[11:14] <dsb> sky123: I got beer, help me out! what you need!
[11:14] <sky123> dsb: lol
[11:15] <BlackHawk> moin
[11:15] <sky123> dsb: cant do a lot from here.....but.... Id see about figuring a way to run your OWN dns server...
[11:15] <Axsuul> apokryphos: thanks, ill try that
[11:15] <sacater> is there a way to get sound drivers?
[11:15] <sky123> dsb: either Bind or djb..
[11:15] <sacater> from terminal
[11:15] <dsb> sky123: I knew sooner or later I would have to learn that...
[11:15] <savvas> sacater: sudo apt-get install alsa-base
[11:16] <sacater> tyvm
[11:16] <sky123> dsb: a nice one..though its not OPEN is djb-dns... check out djbdnsrocks.com
[11:16] <CaTT> Cze
[11:16] <apokryphos> Axsuul: all kde apps should work flawlessly on gnome, and visa versa
[11:16] <dsb> but I can only do this for so long, I have to get my starcraft/broodwar games in too, ya know
[11:16] <CaTT> Hi i mean ;)
[11:17] <Axsuul> apokryphos: i see, thanks.
[11:17] <dsb> and now my 40 year friend wants me to learn WOW... are you kidding me?
[11:17] <sky123> dsb: starcraft rocks man...even after all these years...it is a kick ass game
[11:17] <zdravko> hi there!
[11:17] <zdravko> is there skype for Edgy?
[11:17] <zdravko> ?
[11:17] <sky123> dsb: id use it as a tool to hire people to see how they multitask and use resources..lol
[11:17] <dsb> I played probably a 1000 wins on a wine and/or cedega amd750 machine
[11:18] <dsb> nice
[11:18] <sky123> :)
[11:18] <sky123> I learned..or should I say got my ass handed to me by the guys at work...fell in love with it instaneously
[11:19] <dsb> oh I still play!
[11:19] <savvas> zdravko: http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/
[11:19] <sky123> sky123: like a dumbass i tried to keep winning with the humans...
[11:19] <zdravko> ok
[11:19] <savvas> zdravko: download the debian package
[11:19] <zdravko> i will give it a try
[11:19] <dsb> I can't afford to go out to buy a PS3 and risk getting shot or my jaw broken
[11:20] <savvas> dsb: what does that have to do with ubuntu?
[11:20] <sky123> my friend tried to go to wallmart...and ended up 35 in line...they of course had a whopping.....4
[11:20] <sky123> yeah were off topic
[11:20] <sky123> savvas: thanks for reminding us of roles
[11:20] <sky123> :)
[11:21] <savvas> well sorry, but you got carried away :p
[11:21] <dsb> savvas: redhat has boot loading options for PS3... why not ubuntu, why not gentoo, etc.
[11:21] <sky123> dsb: lets leave it alone...
[11:21] <dsb> ok
[11:21] <sky123> :)
[11:22] <dsb> thanks sky123, I'm going to drink my couple beers and maybe help where I can...
[11:22] <sky123> dsb: lemme know how you solve the dns issue..Im very very curious whether it was your isp or not
[11:22] <sky123> dsb: sweet and catch ya l8r
[11:23] <sky123> next issue...im having fun....
[11:23] <sky123> :)
[11:23] <dsb> hey, I'm learning here!
[11:23] <sky123> ;)
[11:24] <sky123> learning...can be fun....sorta
[11:24] <dsb> I'm also new to ubuntu
[11:24] <sky123> if it finally ends up working
[11:24] <VigoFuse> Learning is good, a day I have not learned sometheing is a day that was wasted.
[11:25] <sky123> dsb: here is another one..that I have YET to be answered in here... how to BOND two interfaces on a ubuntu box...
[11:25] <sky123> does anyone know how to do this??
[11:25] <sky123> on my RH box it is snap
[11:25] <dsb> sky123, I had two interfaces on my gentoo and tried
[11:25] <sacater> HOW CAN I INSTALL FLASH ON MY UBUNTU?
[11:26] <Iulian> sacater: turn off the caps please.
[11:26] <apokryphos> sacater: please read the FAQ
[11:26] <savvas> dsb: you wanted linux on ps3?
[11:27] <dsb> no, I was being sarcastic
[11:27] <sky123> dsb: in other distros the whole /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ for ifcfg-etho,ifcfg-eth1, ifcfg-bond0 make it clear...in ubuntu im stumped
[11:27] <savvas> mkay
[11:27] <dsb> actually yes, but I'm not going to buy a ps3
[11:27] <sky123> dsb: lol
[11:28] <dsb> sky123: have you tried LFS or freebsd?
[11:28] <sky123> everyone knows that is what an old XBOX is for....loading linux
[11:28] <savvas> then this website won't be much of a help: http://dl.qj.net/PlayStation-3-Linux-Tools/catid/514
[11:28] <Lord_Dicranius> I got through all of the steps for compiling madwifi-ng except the very last step.  When I enter this command "wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta" I receive this error "wlanconfig: ioctl: No such device"  I did a search on the ubuntu forums for wlanconfig, but there were no answers there :-\  Can anybody help me please?
[11:28] <sky123> dsb: nope..just centos, rh,suse, now  ubuntu..
[11:29] <joe74> Ok, here's a good one, ubuntu 6.10 "Edgy", I have two sound cards, one VIA (integrated) the other Audigy (PCI), I can't set Audigy as default, it always chooses VIA as default, I did "sudo asoundconf set-default-card Audigy", then I reboot, and nothing, still VIA
[11:29] <dsb> how do you like suse?
[11:29] <sky123> savvas: touche! nice.....
[11:29] <joe74> suse sucks...
[11:29] <joe74> I just dropped suse for ubuntu
[11:29] <VigoFuse> So the majority here suggest that I use the ATI Linux package for the driver? is that do-able
[11:29] <sky123> suse was very very good BEFORE novel got hold of it
[11:29] <savvas> #ubuntu-offtopic :p
[11:29] <joe74> 9.3 best version of suse
[11:29] <dsb> am I a freakin old fart here?
[11:30] <sky123> yep
[11:30] <sky123> 10.1 was the final straw...i switched
[11:30] <joe74> still good for setting a web server, that's all
[11:30] <joe74> yeah smart and zen rug all that crap
[11:30] <joe74> drove me nuts
[11:30] <sky123> and never looked back...ubuntu rocks...now im back on topic..so nah nee nah nee nah nee
[11:30] <sky123> ;)
[11:30] <apikoros> how do i tell linux to boot into a particular runlevel?
[11:30] <dsb> remember when John Carmack and gang released a version of Quake with suse 6.3
[11:31] <joe74> Ok, here's a good one, ubuntu 6.10 "Edgy", I have two sound cards, one VIA (integrated) the other Audigy (PCI), I can't set Audigy as default, it always chooses VIA as default, I did "sudo asoundconf set-default-card Audigy", then I reboot, and nothing, still VIA
[11:31] <dsb> I have it
[11:31] <sky123> the one thing that DOES bother me about ubuntu is...the openldap implementation...with no tls/ssl support
[11:31] <sky123> i had to compile from source to get it to work
[11:31] <sky123> it was pretty evil
[11:32] <mikeymike> i accidentally 'stopped' XGL in system monitor... how do i 'continue' it from console?
[11:32] <dsb> I've been hoping to stay away from compiling
[11:32] <mikeymike> this sucks
[11:32] <mikeymike> is here any way to 'continue' it from a tty
[11:32] <mikeymike> there*
[11:32] <mikeymike> is the 'stop' and 'continue' just nice features?
[11:33] <sky123> joe74: thre is no way to disable the sound in bios first .. just curious...
[11:33] <mikeymike> anyone know?
[11:33] <Ayabara> would you recommend azureus, utorrent (wine) or ktorrent (or none of them)?
[11:33] <mikeymike> can anyone tell me?
[11:33] <mikeymike> i dont want to kill XGL
[11:33] <sky123> !ask
[11:33] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:33] <joe74> sky123 I need both, one for music other for headset
[11:33] <mikeymike> sky123: ive been asking
[11:33] <savvas> mikeymike: well i think a desktop restart would work: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[11:34] <mikeymike> savvas: would i lose all open x apps?
[11:34] <apokryphos> !xgl | mikeymike
[11:34] <ubotu> mikeymike: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - Help in #ubuntu-xgl - See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[11:34] <savvas> mikeymike: probably :\
[11:34] <mikeymike> that sucks
[11:34] <mikeymike> im sending a 2 gig transfer using nautilus
[11:34] <mikeymike> i cant close it :(
[11:34] <savvas> then check it with netstat :p
[11:34] <mikeymike> good grief ther has to be a way to 'continue' a process
[11:35] <savvas> a process yes, but i don't think that also stands for xgl :)
[11:35] <mikeymike> why
[11:35] <mikeymike> how do i do it
[11:35] <ragamuffin> Hello I am installling alternate version as dual boot
[11:35] <mikeymike> i'll try
[11:35] <ragamuffin> How should partition the disk
[11:35] <mikeymike> from tty
[11:35] <dsb> mikeymike, I agree
[11:35] <dsb> go low level somehow
[11:35] <mikeymike> acidentally 'stopping' your x server doesn't kill it
[11:35] <mikeymike> it just pauses it. sorta.
[11:36] <mikeymike> dsb: explain?
[11:36] <savvas> mikeymike: why would you accidentally stop it?
[11:36] <mikeymike> savvas: ah man i acidentally clicked it
[11:36] <mikeymike> when i right clicked on the process
[11:36] <dsb> mikeymike, i'm just drunk, but tyring to think out loud also
[11:36] <bhudda> question: How do you force install a 32 bit application in the 64 bit version of ubuntu?
[11:36] <mikeymike> i need a way to 'continue' xgl
[11:36] <mikeymike> dsb: haha okay
[11:36] <herman_munster> Hi all. Anyone here know of a usb modem (dial-up!) that just works under Edgy?
[11:37] <mikeymike> i need to find an xorg chat or something
[11:37] <savvas> well if you were uploading something so big why would you even mingle with system monitor?
[11:37] <mikeymike> this sucks...
[11:37] <dsb> herman_munster I give all my recommendations to anything usrobotics from now on
[11:37] <mikeymike> savvas: ah gnome panel was using 250 megs of ram.. so i restarted it
[11:37] <icebank> thanks guys, gnight all
[11:38] <mikeymike> i dont know why gnome panel does that. it sucks..........
[11:38] <mikeymike> good grief
[11:38] <herman_munster> dsb: personal experience with edgy and usrobotics modem is good?
[11:38] <savvas> uhm
[11:38] <mikeymike> i need to know what 'stop' and 'continue' mean
[11:38] <dsb> linksys screwed me on a $50 wireless usb stick
[11:38] <mikeymike> is that just different levels of nicing a process?
[11:38] <mikeymike> perhaps i can renice xgl
[11:38] <mikeymike> somehow
[11:38] <dsb> usrobotics 19.99 no crashes
[11:39] <dsb> besides the fact that usrobitics was the leading modem company back in the day
[11:39] <herman_munster> dsb: and plug it it, setup connection... no driver probs?
[11:39] <savvas> dsb: once more, #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:39] <herman_munster> dsb: this is for a mom-and-pop couple :)
[11:39] <tevfikt> how can i record my screen? can someone advice some app?
[11:39] <dsb> on the box it clearly states linux friendly
[11:39] <herman_munster> nice
[11:39] <herman_munster> thanks, will research
[11:40] <dsb> i'm drunk, im bitter at linksys, I'm old and I remember what works
[11:40] <herman_munster> dsb: i'm just old
[11:40] <dsb> and damn moderators telling me offtopic stuff is getting on my nerves
[11:41] <savvas> dsb: you're out of topic :]
[11:41] <mikeymike> does anyone know what the system monitor right click menu options "stop" and "continue" mean in terms of process nicing?
[11:41] <dsb> but I'm cool!
[11:41] <savvas> but you're way out of topic
[11:41] <savvas> ok i'll stop
[11:42] <sky123> coolness doesnt equal on topic....lol
[11:42] <sky123> okay enough instigating
[11:43] <Vich> I know I shouldn't ask this here, but has anyone successfully compiled audacious-plugins with scrobbler?
[11:43] <joe74> Can anyone help me with this one?, ubuntu 6.10 "Edgy", I have two sound cards, one VIA (integrated) the other Audigy (PCI), I can't set Audigy as default, it always chooses VIA as default, I did "sudo asoundconf set-default-card Audigy", then I reboot, and nothing, still VIA
[11:43] <Juxi> hello there, I do have a problem with automounting an usb stick under edgy, I read the forum threads but nothing seems to really fit my problem
[11:43] <sky123> joe74: im wondering if there is a way to rmmod that module for via some how...
[11:43] <mikeymike> does anyone know what the system monitor right click menu options "stop" and "continue" mean in terms of process nicing?
[11:43] <VigoFuse> The ATI website states, ATI Proprietary Linux driver is designed to support the following ATI Integrated product, does Ubuntu 6.10 oh jeeps, comply with this?
[11:43] <Lattyware> Is there a way to rotate wallpapers with ubuntu?
[11:44] <sky123> joe74: then try to re-add it and see?
[11:44] <joe74> hmmm
[11:44] <joe74> maybe
[11:44] <joe74> let me see
[11:44] <sky123> joe74: thinking aloud here...

[11:47] <mikeymike> how can i 'continue' xgl after hitting 'stop' in the system monitor right click menu

[11:50] <navaladi> if i kill firefox also closed .
[11:50] <apokryphos> Lattyware: unless there's an option in the configure wallpaper, I doubt it (kde has a nice thing for this). You'll have to make some bash script to do it. Shouldn't be too hard, I'd imagine.
[11:51] <Lattyware> apokryphos: How do you mean? As in point it to a wallpaper, and then replace that image with a different file at shutdown or somthing?
[11:51] <Lattyware> via a script.

[12:11] <richee> can anyone help me?
[12:12] <v3rmap> richee thanks, I installed the ftpd package, and it appears the server is running, I get ("Connected to 192.168.x.y") followed by "Connection closed by remote host". Anyone know if there's an easy way to configure ftp?
[12:12] <richee> v3rmap: I dunno dude, haven't tried that before

[12:13] <minimec> minimec: The Bryl #channel was not really usefull ;)
[12:14] <hoelk> hmm
[12:14] <hoelk> is there a way to download a program from a repository as binary package?
[12:15] <ESPOiG> how do i set terminal window size?
[12:15] <minimec> hoelk: Well the *.deb file is some kind of binary ...
[12:15] <hoelk> yeah i want the .deb file
[12:15] <thoreauputic> hoelk: sure - just go to th http mirror site as in /etc/apt/sources.list and grab the deb ( but why?)
[12:15] <hoelk> ah ok
[12:15] <hoelk> hmm well
[12:15] <hoelk> a friend of mine needs kdevelop
[12:15] <hoelk> he doesnt have internet acess
[12:16] <hoelk> and i dont have the software installed to compile the source
[12:16] <thoreauputic> hoelk: ah, but he'll need all the dependencies as well
[12:16] <mstevens> What can I do about packages that want to edit /etc/inittab? (given that edgy doesn't seem to have one)
[12:16] <hoelk> hmm crap didnt think about that
[12:16] <ESPOiG> hoelk: so u have to dl the dependencies as well
[12:16] <hoelk> il try
[12:16] <hoelk> ;)
[12:16] <hoelk> i hope its not toooo much
[12:16] <thoreauputic> hoelk: do  apt-cache depends kdevelop
[12:16] <minimec> ESPOiG: You can s that with your mouse on the edges, at leasat with gnome-terminal, and xfce4-terminal. Otherwise it depends on the font-size.
[12:16] <Asc> ESPOiG: tty size at boot?
[12:17] <axloo> hi all, can i set the variable http_proxy once without to have to set it again after i restart my pc?
[12:17] <looktj> Hi
[12:17] <hoelk> hehe crap like 20 programs
[12:17] <looktj> How do I use Ip for mysql on a forum
[12:17] <looktj> ?
[12:17] <thoreauputic> hoelk: right
[12:17] <hoelk> hmm
[12:17] <ESPOiG> Asc: what?
[12:17] <hoelk> wonder what happens when i try apt-get install kdevelop -d
[12:18] <hoelk> ( -d  Download only - do NOT install or unpack archives )
[12:18] <ESPOiG> minimec: yeh i know that but i want to set it to a certain size when i run it
[12:18] <hoelk> sounds like a good way?
[12:18] <Asc> GSPOiG: Well, most people know how to resize a window, so I figured you probably meant tty size
[12:18] <thoreauputic> hoelk: it just d/l s the packages for you, yes
[12:18] <hoelk> anyone knows where he saves the stuf?
[12:18] <axloo> hi all, can i set the variable http_proxy once without to have to set it again after i restart my pc?
[12:18] <thoreauputic> hoelk: in your working directory I think
[12:18] <POVaddct> hoelk: /var/cache/apt/archives/
[12:18] <thoreauputic> POVaddct: does it?
[12:18] <looktj> I installed mysql-server on here and want different webservers to use my mysql connection
[12:19] <ESPOiG> Asc: wat is tty
[12:19] <hoelk> ok thanks for the help
[12:19] <POVaddct> thoreauputic: i think this is where apt stores the downloaded .deb files
[12:19] <minimec> ESPOiG: man yourterminal. Maybe you can also do this with some start options, like'Eterm -e irssi...'
[12:19] <infer_> !tty
[12:19] <ubotu> To get to the tty terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login).
[12:19] <thoreauputic> normally yes - just checking in mn apt
[12:19] <POVaddct> thoreauputic: but maybe it is different with -d
[12:19] <ESPOiG> infer: oh yeh my bad
[12:20] <Asc> ESPOiG: there are six non-X terminals, accessable via ctrl-alt-F1 through F6.  X is F7.
[12:20] <ESPOiG> i thought he meant thankyou :P... but with an extra t as it didnt work
[12:20] <axloo> hi all, can i set the variable http_proxy once without to have to set it again after i restart my pc? please somebody tell me :(
[12:20] <ESPOiG> Asc: yeh i dont a full screen terminal
[12:20] <ESPOiG> ill ask on debian forums
[12:20] <POVaddct> axloo: you can try adding the setting to /etc/environment
[12:21] <axloo> 10x , i will try now :)
[12:21] <thoreauputic> POVaddct: interesting - the -d option isn't made clear in the man page: I've never needed -d so I don't know
[12:21] <ESPOiG> sorry guys i meant to ask the question how to do i set the size of the terminal WINDOW when i run it :P
[12:21] <minimec> ESPOiG: In Eterm you have the -g otipn for geometry
[12:21] <POVaddct> thoreauputic: so hoelk has to try it :)
[12:22] <ragamuffin> How should I create a swap?
[12:22] <thoreauputic> :)
[12:22] <Stanbey> Hi. I just installed Ubuntu (looks good :-) and I'm trying to set-up a second user with a different language (Chinese). I have installed the language packs from my user but can't see how to change the language for the second user. Can someone point me in the right direction?
[12:22] <hoelk> well it works as stated
[12:22] <VigoFuse> That Xorg is nifty, thank you for that link. will write it down and use it when I boot to EEft
[12:22] <looktj> I got a problem with mysql
[12:22] <thoreauputic> ragamuffin: if you are installing, easiest is to chooose auto partitioning
[12:22] <POVaddct> hoelk: and where does it store the .deb files?
[12:22] <hoelk> the only problem is i have no way to automatically download the packages i allready have that kdevelop depens on
[12:22] <hoelk> /var/cache/apt/archives/ was right
[12:22] <axloo> POVaddct thank you, your answer was very helpful to me!
[12:22] <minimec> ESPOiG: ... like Eterm -g 100x200+0+100
[12:22] <POVaddct> hoelk: okay
[12:22] <thoreauputic> hoelk: aha - thanks :)
[12:23] <POVaddct> axloo: no problem
[12:23] <ragamuffin> thoreauputic: I didn't find any autopartitioning option
[12:23] <minimec> ESPOiG: That should do it.
[12:23] <thoreauputic> ragamuffin: umm - something like 'use available space' and don't choose guided or manual
[12:23] <ragamuffin> I am installing as dual boot
[12:24] <ragamuffin> thoreauputic: I have created apartition for ubuntu
[12:24] <thoreauputic> ragamuffin: have you resized your other partition to make space?
[12:24] <thoreauputic> OK
[12:24] <looktj> my friend wants me to supply him a mysql database on my computer, he wants to use the database on his hosted forums
[12:24] <axloo> by POVaddct and thanks again you guys are very cool, always help me :)
[12:24] <ragamuffin> No, I had set apart a partition for ubuntu
[12:24] <thoreauputic> ragamuffin: so just tell it to use that partition and let the installer make a swap for you
[12:24] <looktj> how do I make mysql use my IP instead of localhost?
[12:24] <Stanbey> Can anyone help me with my second user language question?
[12:25] <ragamuffin> thoreauputic: that is where I am stuck
[12:25] <thoreauputic> ragamuffin: ?
[12:25] <ragamuffin> I cant create a swap
[12:25] <ragamuffin> I am still under partition setttings windows
[12:25] <erchache> looktj: why do you want this? normally mysql use localhost
[12:25] <CE_CUTE> UJF
[12:25] <VigoFuse> Just so you all know, that Unsupported link is on the Ubuntu Forums in the General Help/Audio Visual/something, let me look again.....
[12:26] <thoreauputic> ragamuffin: umm - what are you trying to do ? Are you using guided/ manual?
[12:26] <erchache> looktj: do you want to separate mysql server from web/application server?
[12:26] <ragamuffin> I used manual I think
[12:26] <thoreauputic> ragamuffin: how much RAM do you have?
[12:26] <looktj> erchache I am supplying a database for my friend's forums(on different hoster)
[12:26] <ragamuffin>  mb
[12:27] <erchache> ok
[12:27] <ragamuffin> 256 mb
[12:27] <thoreauputic> ragamuffin: umm - how many mb?
[12:27] <erchache> see on /etc/mysql/my.conf
[12:27] <thoreauputic> OK
[12:27] <ragamuffin> thoreauputic: 256 mb
[12:27] <ESPOiG> minimec: neg it didnt work
[12:27] <thoreauputic> ragamuffin: make a swap of around 512 MB
[12:27] <erchache> and edit configuration for your needs
[12:27] <ragamuffin> I don't find any option for that
[12:27] <thoreauputic> ragamuffin: select the non-windows partition
[12:27] <erchache> and use grant to modify user permission
[12:27] <ragamuffin> I have
[12:28] <ragamuffin> and createed two partitions of the 15 gb faw space
[12:28] <erchache> looktj: ask on #mysql
[12:28] <ragamuffin> both with file system ext3
[12:28] <looktj> erchache: no one is active on #mysql
[12:28] <erchache> well see on mysql documentation to modify my.cnf
[12:29] <thoreauputic> ragamuffin: you need at least one partition of around 512 MB with type "swap"
[12:29] <erchache> and grant command to set new permissions
[12:29] <looktj> ok I'll look
[12:29] <ragamuffin> How do you I create that thoreauputic ?

[12:33] <thoreauputic> ragamuffin: did you erase your ext3 partitions first?
[12:33] <thoreauputic> ragamuffin: you need space for new partitions including swap
[12:34] <ESPOiG> minimec: thx
[12:34] <Asc> It should be in the list of file system types when making a partition....
[12:34] <minimec> ESPOiG: np

[12:34] <erchache> how i can setup ipmi of my dl145 g2 on ubuntu?
[12:35] <thoreauputic> ragamuffin: yes I know - but you need to get rid of them to make new partitions, unless you have space left
[12:35] <ragamuffin> thoreauputic: I need to do the thing over again?
[12:35] <ragamuffin> I will
[12:35] <thoreauputic> ragamuffin: you can't add a partition to an existing partition: each part needs its own space

[12:41] <digitalhav0c> patrixx im not sure
[12:41] <standby> hello
[12:41] <digitalhav0c> i thought you were going to install fresh
[12:41] <ulaas> hi. nvida 9629 for edy
[12:41] <ulaas> edy/edgy
[12:42] <rimmerson> hello, please in feature it will be 6.10 in shipit?
[12:42] <TuTUx> hi all i just upgraded my ram to 1.5g(512m before), before i upgraded the swap (2.4G) was working fine(i mean it was buffering all the time) and now im sure it's turned on and I had update the /etc/.../resume and /etc/fstab by "update-initranfs -u" but the swap always stay quiet now, is it working?
[12:42] <ulaas> should i go nvidia official or a deb available?
[12:42] <thoreauputic> TuTUx: wiht 1.5 G of ram you won't see much swapping :)
[12:42] <MattJ> tevfikt: What are you recording?
[12:43] <standby> anyone knows why my laptop intel core 2 duo ..some times appear with 3600 bogomips ..other times ..11600 bogomips
[12:43] <fyrestrtr> TuTUx: yes, its working. The reason it was getting hit before was because of your low ram. You don't want swap to be hit a lot, it slows down your computer's performance.
[12:43] <MattJ> standby: It's probably power-saving
[12:43] <fyrestrtr> standby: its probably on powersave (which reduces the clock).
[12:43] <thoreauputic> standby: it's probably adjusting to the load
[12:43] <TuTUx> thanks for all of u
[12:43] <standby> ya..on 11000 it gaves me 1000mhz
[12:44] <LadyNikon> goood morning
[12:44] <standby> it is a 1800mhz
[12:44] <Flosoft> hey
[12:44] <standby> LadyNikon, hey girl
[12:44] <standby> :)
[12:44] <rimmerson> good morning
[12:44] <Flosoft> can someone tell me how I can boot an ISO via network?
[12:44] <LadyNikon> where is the x11 profile? my mouse stops working after awhile
[12:44] <Flosoft> on a SMB share maybe?
[12:44] <LadyNikon> I am guessing something got screwed up during updating
[12:45] <LadyNikon> hows is everyone?
[12:45] <standby> thoreauputic, but the difference is a lot..i want the 4 core to work..not just 1
[12:45] <POVaddct> LadyNikon: you mean the Xorg config file? that is /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:45] <TuTUx> so one more question about my swap, my laptop is not very fast (centrino 1.74) so with 1.5G ram do u guys think i still need a swap partation? im not doing any heavy work by the way
[12:45] <rimmerson> good and you ladynikon
[12:45] <ulisse> ciao people
[12:45] <LadyNikon> POVaddct: heh that too.. its 6.45am and no coffee
[12:45] <standby> fyrestrtr, how can i control this thing?
[12:45] <LadyNikon> rimmerson: im good thanks.
[12:45] <LadyNikon> POVaddct: thanks
[12:46] <thoreauputic> standby: are you running edgy with the generic kernel? It should pick up extra CPUs
[12:46] <POVaddct> LadyNikon: what type of mouse? ps/2, usb, ...
[12:46] <standby> TuOki^, a swap partition is a good thing..you should allways have one
[12:46] <LadyNikon> POVaddct: usb
[12:46] <rimmerson> Ladynikon where are you from
[12:46] <ulisse> is update-manager woking right for you on edgy? after inserting the password it doesn't update a thing...
[12:46] <standby> TuOki^, i have 4 partitions for linux system on mine
[12:47] <TuTUx> standby: i c, thanks
[12:47] <standby> thoreauputic, ya generic
[12:47] <tevfikt> MattJ:  i want to record beryl effects..
[12:47] <POVaddct> LadyNikon: then it doesn't have to be an Xorg problem. could be the usbhid module.
[12:47] <diederick> hi all
[12:47] <VigoFuse> Dnag, I need tgo hook up a printer, my memory,Ohysical Brain is a little damaged,gonna give it go.
[12:47] <thoreauputic> standby: then it should work I think - so i don't know why it wouldn't. HAve you tried running something intensive like a compile?
[12:48] <LadyNikon> POVaddct: hmm
[12:48] <MattJ> tevfikt: Ah, I didn't know... I've never had any success :/
[12:48] <POVaddct> LadyNikon: if the mouse stopped working, try sudo cat -A /dev/input/mice and see if it puts out random chars if you move the mouse
[12:48] <tevfikt> =o\
[12:48] <standby> thoreauputic, when i put on rescue grub option..it get 3600 bogomips..i think it is working just with one core
[12:48] <diederick> I want to buy an external harddisk, but I'm just curious if someone has experience with this, as I'm not sure which brand is should choose
[12:48] <POVaddct> LadyNikon: also check with lsusb the mouse is still visible on the usb bus
[12:49] <standby> thoreauputic, i see the actual bogomips on /proc/cpuinfo
[12:49] <dooglus> diederick: I bought one to use with Linux and it's sitting unused.  I found it to work so unreliably that it's almost useless.  It's fine with Windows however.
[12:49] <LadyNikon> POVaddct: didnt getanything from cat -A /dev/input/mice
[12:49] <standby> bogomips        : 11655.42
[12:49] <dooglus> diederick: it has both firewire and USB2 interfaces, but neither will stay up for more than 24 hours
[12:49] <thoreauputic> standby: run "top" - I think it shows the cores there ( i don't have such a processor so I can't check)
[12:50] <POVaddct> LadyNikon: does the mouse work right now?
[12:50] <LadyNikon> POVaddct: do i just type "lsusb"?
[12:50] <standby> on previous reboot it showed only 3600
[12:50] <LadyNikon> POVaddct: negative
[12:50] <POVaddct> LadyNikon: yes, just lsusb
[12:50] <diederick> dooglus: but aint it just a "mass storage" device ?
[12:50] <dooglus> diederick: I guess.
[12:50] <dnl> ls
[12:50] <POVaddct> LadyNikon: there should be serveral line and one of them should be the mouse
[12:50] <diederick> oke
[12:50] <standby> i dont know how to control this..if i change something it put 1 core again..dam
[12:50] <LadyNikon> I got a "Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
[12:51] <dooglus> diederick: maybe the laptop's hardware just isn't supported very well.
[12:51] <LadyNikon> only one line
[12:51] <POVaddct> LadyNikon: id 0000:0000 is just an usb hub
[12:51] <LadyNikon> ah
[12:51] <dooglus> diederick: because I've had the same issue using the usb2 ports for network access, too
[12:51] <TuTUx> hi all now is about my kernel, i had the generic kernel by default edgy, but somehow every time it has to startup with loading my laptop(vaio)'s dvd-rom, otherwise it took very long time to start. so i installed i386 kernel and using it currently, is it true if i switch back to generic will help the performance?
[12:51] <POVaddct> LadyNikon: then the mouse is not on the bus anymore
[12:51] <LadyNikon> POVaddct: how did that all of a sudden just stop working like that :?
[12:51] <LadyNikon> well your probably cant say how..
[12:51] <LadyNikon> how do i fix it :D
[12:51] <POVaddct> LadyNikon: maybe the device is (partly) broken?
[12:52] <LadyNikon> hmm
[12:52] <LadyNikon> yeah but it stops working after awhile
[12:52] <LadyNikon> if i reboot its detected fine
[12:52] <LadyNikon> if i let it set.. then it will stop working.
[12:52] <LadyNikon> after a few hours or so
[12:53] <POVaddct> LadyNikon: check "dmesg" right after it stopped working. the should be a usb disconnect message.
[12:53] <LadyNikon> usb disconnect, address 2?
[12:54] <LadyNikon> i hate when i wake up sometimes..
[12:54] <LadyNikon> my nose is burning :/
[12:54] <Sprout> hi romm can anyone offer some help with mepis and a possible video problem?
[12:54] <POVaddct> LadyNikon: burning?
[12:54] <LadyNikon> yeah ..
[12:54] <LadyNikon> dry nose..
[12:55] <twilight> Hi all. I think I've a problem with hal in edgy. When I try to burn an audio cd, the system doesn't recognize the blank cd, and ask to insert a blank cd, . The error is: " No property volume.disc.capacity on device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_empty_unknown". Suggestions?
[12:55] <thoreauputic> Sprout:  /j #mepis ?
[12:55] <POVaddct> LadyNikon: hmm. i cannot help you with that. for the mouse problem: does it help if you unplug and replug the mouse?
[12:55] <LadyNikon> POVaddct: heh.. last time it didnt lemme try again
[12:56] <ESPOiG> i found a hack that apprently saves the size of the gnome-terminal wen it closes and reopnes but i have no idea how to to use it http://gnome-hacks.web.com/hacks.html?id=62 anyone??
[12:57] <LadyNikon> thats a weird quit message
[12:57] <LadyNikon> POVaddct: no it doesnt
[12:57] <LadyNikon> lemme try a different mouse
[12:58] <LadyNikon> POVaddct: im gonna put some coffee and oatmeal on as well brb
[12:58] <POVaddct> LadyNikon: feed the mouse with oatmeal :)
[12:59] <thoreauputic> ESPOiG: looks like a source code patch - you'd have to apply it and recompile I think
[12:59] <Asc> ESPOiG: you can make a link on the menubar or desktop or whatever to 'gnome-terminal --geometry 50x30' or whatever.  It'd probably be easier (not that I've actually looked at the link; I'm on a modem here)
[01:00] <Asc> Yay lag
[01:00] <Trainstroker> how do i know wat kernal i got?
[01:01] <POVaddct> Trainstroker: cat /proc/version
[01:01] <LLcoolM> i have a problem with cryptsetup on ubuntu, whenever i boot i should get a passphrase-dialog to enter password for an encrypted partition
[01:01] <LLcoolM> however that one doesnt get displayed
[01:02] <thoreauputic> Trainstroker: or  uname -a or uname -r
[01:02] <j2daosh> hows it going all?
[01:02] <j2daosh> anyone know of some interesting applications for ubuntu that don't come in a repo?
[01:03] <OtisJones> anybody have a dell inspiron 640m/
[01:03] <OtisJones> ?
[01:03] <thoreauputic> !anyone
[01:03] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:03] <LLcoolM> i found out so far it is a bug known for more than a month
[01:03] <j2daosh> thoreauputic: that was my question.....
[01:03] <LLcoolM> it doesnt speak for ubuntu having something like this not fixed for that amount of time
[01:04] <thoreauputic> j2daosh: no, that was for OtisJones :)
[01:04] <j2daosh> oh ok, i was like... i dont know how to make it any clearer.... lol
[01:04] <OtisJones> I just want to know if any other issues are gonna sneak up on me,.
[01:04] <OtisJones> these intel components,.. you'd think they'd be more compatible.
[01:04] <j2daosh> OtisJones: as with any linux os using any application u run the risk of bugs...
[01:05] <thoreauputic> j2daosh: there are lots of source code programs you can compile - and there are non-free ones like skype etc
[01:05] <OtisJones> first, it was my widescreen.
[01:05] <OtisJones> okay.
[01:05] <j2daosh> thoreauputic: yeah, already got it from a repo :(
[01:05] <j2daosh> but that reminds me of a question otis so thank you :)
[01:05] <thoreauputic> j2daosh: well, what are you looking for?
[01:05] <FearMoth> is there any apt-get command to revert to the original installation?
[01:06] <j2daosh> im going to be building a new core 2 dou system and am wondering if ubuntu has support for it yet
[01:06] <OtisJones> well.. first my widescreen, now it's my wireless network...  intel Pro wireless cards with their Function + F2 kill switch.
[01:06] <Chandan> hi
[01:06] <j2daosh> thoreauputic: not really sure... what interesting applications do you have loading on your box? i can pretty much find a use for just about anything...
[01:07] <Chandan> Is there anything for eyecandy thing
[01:07] <j2daosh> anything for eyecandy... thats kinda vague...
[01:07] <Chandan> like in microsoft vista .If I poing any icon in the panel its zooming ..can we do the same thing in ubuntu
[01:07] <j2daosh> OtisJones: i wont use wireless so i cant help you with that one
[01:07] <OtisJones> vista is a waste of money
[01:07] <OtisJones> promises that were never delivered.
[01:07] <thoreauputic> j2daosh: most of mine are from the repos - I compiled my own fluxbox, and a few other bits like the murrine GTK2 theme engine
[01:07] <OtisJones> I used to support microsoft.
[01:08] <OtisJones> now I support vmware.
[01:08] <j2daosh> yes Chandan, we call it....crap... i cant remember what we call it...
[01:08] <alecjw> i have an r2571usb card, will the rt2570usb drivers work?
[01:08] <j2daosh> compiz
[01:08] <Chandan> OtisJones, Its waste of money ..but can we see that feature ..in ubuntu ..is ther any pacakge
[01:08] <j2daosh> thats it
[01:08] <OtisJones> anypackage?
[01:08] <j2daosh> yes Chandan grep for compiz
[01:08] <OtisJones> well.. I'm pretty new too.
[01:09] <j2daosh> !compix
[01:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about compix - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:09] <Chandan> j2daosh, compiz ..ok will check it

[01:09] <j2daosh> read those
[01:09] <j2daosh> beryl?
[01:09] <OtisJones> it's a pain in the butt.
[01:09] <OtisJones> beryl is when your desktops look like a cube.
[01:09] <j2daosh> yeah it is... but once you get it setup its only a minor headache :P
[01:09] <OtisJones> you can rotate.
[01:10] <j2daosh> ahh... i want beryl instead
[01:10] <Chandan> j2daosh, I have configured beryl in my system .. its workign fine .. but icons zooming is not coming ..Is that featuer is there in beryl ..How do I configure
[01:10] <j2daosh> i dont need the wobbly, water, magnify and all that crap
[01:10] <j2daosh> i used compiz
[01:10] <kraut> moin
[01:10] <thoreauputic> there is also 3ddesk ( older but has the rotating desktops)
[01:10] <j2daosh> which had zooming and all that stuff
[01:10] <OtisJones> ugh..  I'll go suffer with my wifi nic.
[01:10] <OtisJones> cheers
[01:10] <j2daosh> i just want the cube :)
[01:10] <thoreauputic> !3ddesk
[01:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 3ddesk - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:11] <thoreauputic> hmm
[01:11] <j2daosh> OtisJones: have you tried grepping the forums?
[01:11] <Chandan> j2daosh, 3d desk and all its working with beryl .. zooming I need to check ..

[01:11] <Chandan> j2daosh, Let me check it now
[01:11] <j2daosh> Chandan: talk to thoreauputic... i dont know beryl yet
[01:11] <alecjw> i have an r2571usb card, will the rt2570usb drivers work?
[01:11] <thoreauputic> j2daosh: neither do I :) I justknow it exists :)
[01:12] <Chandan> thoreauputic, How about zooming in beryl..How to configure that
[01:12] <j2daosh> lol
[01:12] <raging_hog> installing dapper, I need to preserve mbr. Will it overwrite it?
[01:12] <thoreauputic> Chandan: I don't know - I have a crappy SiS onboard card here ;-)
[01:12] <j2daosh> well looks like researching is up to your Chandan, i know zooming is possible with compiz... i know nothing about 3ddesk/beryl yet
[01:12] <POVaddct> alecjw: why not simply try it?
[01:12] <Chandan> thoreauputic, ok ..
[01:13] <alecjw> raging_hog: no, it will overwrite the mbr, but if you have windoze, it will add it to the grub list
[01:13] <Chandan> j2daosh, its ok .I will check it in beryll..
[01:13] <Trainstroker> BERYL FTW
[01:13] <LadyNikon> POVaddct: i changed my mind on the oatmeal and started making rice heh
[01:13] <alecjw> POVaddct: it might take hours on this pentium with 32mb ram. i was wondering if anone else had any experinces with it
[01:13] <raging_hog> alecjw, is there a way to preserve mbr? thinkpad t42 has some bios stuff in the mbr
[01:13] <LadyNikon> rice cooker > oatmeal in a pot
[01:13] <j2daosh> LadyNikon: wha?!?! no oatmeal?!
[01:13] <LadyNikon> <~~ lazy
[01:13] <j2daosh> blasphemy!!
[01:14] <LadyNikon> j2daosh: i got a turkey to eat :/
[01:14] <POVaddct> alecjw: sorry, no. i only have a rt2570 card
[01:14] <j2daosh> tlol
[01:14] <Trainstroker> anyone know how to get ZD1211 chips workin in ubunut
[01:14] <j2daosh> lol
[01:14] <j2daosh> figures
[01:15] <VigoFusion> dangit, I fergot the stuff to type in now, oh well, I like this system better, I can live with a tiny screen...:-P
[01:15] <LadyNikon> not really
[01:15] <LadyNikon> but i couldnt think of anything else at the time
[01:15] <j2daosh> lol
[01:15] <LadyNikon> i did *try* tennis
[01:16] <LadyNikon> not my thing
[01:16] <Grimboy> Hey, can someone clarify something for me? From what I understand, logical partitions aren't bootable. Does this mean GRUB can't boot from them or just that they can't be booted directly?
[01:16] <j2daosh> i couldn't understand the scoring scheme... but i like hitting things so i made my own scoring rules :P
[01:16] <dromer> hmm, in KDE, how do I make it run a certain program on startup ?
[01:16] <LadyNikon> j2daosh: hitting someone in the face = 20 points?
[01:16] <dromer> ah, sessien manager
[01:16] <j2daosh> grim, nope
[01:16] <thoreauputic> Grimboy: Linux will boot happily from a logical partition
[01:17] <j2daosh> the mbr is on the primary partition with will boot a logical partition
[01:17] <Grimboy> thoreauputic: Ah, cool, thanks!
[01:17] <j2daosh> LadyNikon: yep :)
[01:17] <Grimboy> j2daosh: Thanks
[01:17] <j2daosh> s/with/which
[01:17] <dromer> no, damnit
[01:17] <LadyNikon> well
[01:17] <dromer> anybody ?
[01:17] <j2daosh> anybody what?
[01:17] <LadyNikon> plugging in a new mouse doesnt fix it
[01:18] <LadyNikon> so i guess i should reboot and see if this one craps out :/
[01:18] <j2daosh> sounds like an expensive personal problem LadyNikon :P
[01:18] <j2daosh> j/p
[01:18] <POVaddct> LadyNikon: maybe a usb controller or usb port problem?
[01:18] <j2daosh> whats the problem?
[01:19] <Yoric> Well, beryl is fun but perhaps a bit too unstable for me so far.
[01:19] <j2daosh> lol Yoric its so unstable for me i cant find it :P
[01:19] <matason> Hi - Can a Launcher control the window size of an application i.e. maximized?
[01:19] <LadyNikon> POVaddct: could be possible.. I figured something got updated wrong.
[01:19] <Yoric> j2daosh: :)
[01:20] <VigoFusion> 2 HDs in this one, XP one, Win2k on slave and Ubuntu 6.10 about to pwn them all. They all have thier own Boot Sector, thanks to GRUB, but UBUNTU is gonna own it all here soon.
[01:20] <LadyNikon> gawd i hate 1024 x 768
[01:20] <j2daosh> perfect form thoreauputic but you hit the WRONG way...
[01:20] <j2daosh> lol
[01:20] <LadyNikon> heh i remember saying that about the rez when it was 680 heh
[01:20] <thoreauputic> JDStone: no, just the racket went right back as it should, and hit you :)
[01:20] <j2daosh> lol thats right, hit JDStone
[01:20] <LadyNikon> POVaddct: we shall see..
[01:20] <j2daosh> :P
[01:21] <LadyNikon> its an old mobo.
[01:21] <LadyNikon> it still has ps2 connections on it heh
[01:21] <roryy> matason: some (perhaps most?) GUI programs take a --geometry command line argument which sets the initial window size.  Any particular app you're wanting to do this with?
[01:21] <POVaddct> LadyNikon: i remember 320x200 on my atari st :)
[01:21] <j2daosh> lady, if you bought usb mouse it should have come with a ps/2 adapter... use it
[01:21] <LadyNikon> j2daosh: yeah i keep those
[01:21] <matason> roryy: Hi - thanks - yes it's Vim 7
[01:21] <j2daosh> me too
[01:21] <j2daosh> :P
[01:21] <LadyNikon> j2daosh: i know.. i just like to check everything
[01:21] <roryy> matason: vim or gvim ?
[01:22] <TuTUx> HI ALL, is there any repos i can get Ardour ?
[01:22] <matason> Hmm - I believe I am using gVim
[01:22] <LadyNikon> sigh
[01:22] <LadyNikon> i have class today
[01:22] <LadyNikon> and i gotta help with bingo at the fire station
[01:22] <j2daosh> i always use the oldest part of my board :P, in these cases, the ps/2 slot
[01:22] <LadyNikon> my day is shot.
[01:22] <dromer> it's saturday :o
[01:22] <matason> roryy: Yes GVim
[01:22] <roryy> matason: try 'gVim --geometry=100x100' -- play with the numbers until you're happy
[01:22] <LadyNikon> dromer: life doesnt stop on the weekends ;)
[01:22] <dromer> :P
[01:22] <j2daosh> bingo... fire station... how old are u lady?
[01:22] <roryy> matason: or 'gvim' or whatever -- i'm not actually familiar with gvim
[01:22] <matason> roryy: Thanks very much
[01:23] <LadyNikon> j2daosh: i am 29
[01:23] <dromer> I have to draw more molecules :/
[01:23] <LadyNikon> i dont do bingo
[01:23] <j2daosh> oh ok
[01:23] <j2daosh> lol
[01:23] <LadyNikon> however our firestation has it for the elders

[01:23] <LadyNikon> j2daosh: not yet kthnx ;)
[01:23] <dromer> it doesn't show up
[01:23] <j2daosh> apparantly they have rubbed off on you LadyNikon
[01:23] <LadyNikon> <~~ born brutal ;0
[01:24] <thoreauputic> j2daosh: not really - plenty of older women using linux ( some of them with unix backgrounds)
[01:24] <j2daosh> thoreauputic: i have yet to meet one.... :(
[01:24] <j2daosh> all the old people i know just want to talk about war and junk
[01:24] <thoreauputic> j2daosh: you move in the wrong circles ;)
[01:24] <j2daosh> lol
[01:24] <poulap> I am 54 woman but green with linux lol
[01:25] <j2daosh> move in circles? lol my ass is stuck in a stagnant circle
[01:25] <thoreauputic> !language
[01:25] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[01:25] <thoreauputic> ;)
[01:25] <j2daosh> poulap: good for you... welcome to the side of light
[01:25] <j2daosh> rgr
[01:25] <j2daosh> sorry
[01:25] <poulap> thanks lol
[01:25] <j2daosh> i cant find beryl...
[01:25] <j2daosh> at all
[01:26] <j2daosh> in any of my repos...
[01:26] <thoreauputic> j2daosh: are you running edgy?
[01:26] <j2daosh> nope
[01:26] <j2daosh> dapper still
[01:26] <thoreauputic> j2daosh: I think it's edgy only
[01:26] <j2daosh> hmm...
[01:26] <roryy> !info beryl
[01:26] <thoreauputic> !info beryl edgy
[01:26] <ubotu> Package beryl does not exist in any distro I know
[01:26] <thoreauputic> hmm
[01:26] <ubotu> Package beryl does not exist in edgy
[01:26] <j2daosh> why should i upgrade to edgy?
[01:26] <roryy> i suspect one has to install it by hand
[01:27] <thoreauputic> roryy: you may be right indeed
[01:27] <roryy> compiz appears to be in edgy
[01:27] <j2daosh> woot woot, i need to work on my compiling anyway :)
[01:27] <thoreauputic> !beryl
[01:27] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[01:27] <dromer> so .. nobody can help with DAAP-server and stuff? :(
[01:27] <defrysk> j2daosh, http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index.php/Install/Ubuntu/Dapper/AiGLX
[01:27] <thoreauputic>  /join #ubuntu-xgl for beryl questions I guess
[01:27] <pip_> how do you format in linux?
[01:28] <j2daosh> u don't MUAHAHAHA
[01:28] <j2daosh> lol j/p
[01:28] <pip_> im running a live cd atm, and wanna format the HDA
[01:28] <gonzoism> can someone help me with ndiswrapper ?  i had it set up earlier, but now it won't come back u again.  and i can't figure out what the problem is
[01:28] <roryy> pip_: what would you like to format?
[01:28] <pip_> >*
[01:28] <thoreauputic> pip_: what are you wanting to do exactly?
[01:28] <gonzoism> ndiswrapper -i my_driver.inf ; modprobe ndiswrapper; iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-Hoc;iwconfig wlan0 essid any;killall dhclient3 ;ifconfig wlan0 10.0.0.x
[01:28] <gonzoism> that is what i run to start it but it doesn't work, is there something i'm forgetting ?
[01:28] <pip_> just format a hdd so i can run xp on it
[01:28] <j2daosh> pip, system, disks
[01:28] <j2daosh> oh
[01:28] <thoreauputic> pip_: hah /join #windows then
[01:28] <LadyNikon> so.. i just found out that there is a "read out loud" function in acrobat
[01:29] <j2daosh> pip > #windows
[01:29] <LadyNikon> it sounds like that purple monkey program
[01:29] <roryy> pip_: i suspect your windows XP install cd will be able to partition and format your hard drive
[01:29] <pip_> no it wont
[01:29] <pip_> i cant even start linux on it atm
[01:29] <j2daosh> lol we dont take kindly to yer kind 'round here boy
[01:29] <thoreauputic> pip_: this is a linux channel
[01:29] <pip_> yes i know, and i wounder how i format in linux_
[01:30] <j2daosh> pip... the point is... linux wont format to ntfs... thats windows
[01:30] <thoreauputic> pip_:  you can probably use gparted from the live CD of Ubuntu
[01:30] <j2daosh> so go to #windows
[01:30] <j2daosh> they will tell you to get the windows disk and do an install... it will format then
[01:30] <LadyNikon> why not just format the HDD with the windows cd?
[01:30] <defrysk> ntfs is windows patented
[01:30] <LadyNikon> or is pip_ trying to dual boot?
[01:30] <LadyNikon> defrysk: heh
[01:30] <defrysk> linux is not allowed to hande that fornat
[01:30] <pip_> j2daosh: ive tried asking them, and they cant help me
[01:30] <thoreauputic> LadyNikon: this is totally off-topic anyway
[01:30] <defrysk> handle
[01:31] <j2daosh> pip_: ok... heres what you do... its complicated... open the cd-rom... put the windows disk in :P
[01:31] <pip_> ok and then?
[01:31] <LadyNikon> oyvey
[01:31] <j2daosh> then run through windows setup :)
[01:31] <j2daosh> lol
[01:31] <defrysk> pip_, call the windows hlpdesk
[01:31] <defrysk> they can help you
[01:31] <LadyNikon> halp..
[01:32] <roryy> one can in fact create ntfs partitions in Linux with ntfsprogs, but i'm not sure if that's available on the live cd
[01:32] <j2daosh> it will say u want to format ntfs/fat32...
[01:32] <LadyNikon> pls to halp.
[01:32] <thoreauputic> pip sorry but windows help is not the topic here
[01:32] <j2daosh> use ntfs
[01:32] <LadyNikon> dont be sorry
[01:32] <kaur> when I try to modprobe speedstep-centrino I'll get the following error: FATAL: Error inserting speedstep_centrino (/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/speedstep-centrino.ko): No such device
[01:32] <kaur>  Cpu is intel core2 duo T2300
[01:32] <kaur> Ideas?
[01:32] <pip_> is dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null& pid=$ same as format?
[01:32] <j2daosh> no
[01:32] <thoreauputic> pip_: no
[01:32] <j2daosh> not even close
[01:32] <LadyNikon> O.O
[01:32] <kzm__> hey everybody.. does anybody has experience with nvidia beta drivers?
[01:32] <kaur> the cpu temp is about 50
[01:32] <pip_> what does it do?
[01:32] <defrysk> kzm__, run fine on my box
[01:32] <roryy> it writes zeros to nowhere
[01:33] <thoreauputic> pip_: formatting is making a *file system*
[01:33] <rickski> does anybody run ubuntu on an Apple PowerBook G4?
[01:33] <kaur> how do i get speedsteping to work?
[01:33] <LadyNikon> who would mess up an apple prodcut?
[01:33] <thoreauputic> pip_: please find a windows help forum - I will have to remove or quiet you otherwise
[01:33] <LadyNikon> product*
[01:33] <pip_> ok, but i cant make a file system with my windows boot cd since it says i dont have the start files, and that happened after ive installer ubuntu on the hdd
[01:33] <kzm__> defrysk, i have problems with it in a way it runs fine, i install something else it breaks because of some linux kernel headers, and i have to install again by hand
[01:33] <j2daosh> pip_: stop.. listen to what we are saying.... you are in LINUX...we deal with LINUX questions. windows can't make formatting any easier... its practically idiot proof.... put the disk in the drive... reboot computer... follow prompts...
[01:33] <pip_> and in the #windows channel they dont know what to do
[01:33] <rickski> LadyNikon: maybe if you have one to spare :)
[01:34] <defrysk> kzm__, just use amaranth's repository
[01:34] <LadyNikon> lets hope english isnt pip_'s first language
[01:34] <kzm__> defrysk, yeah? i somehow think i tried and then i gave up and used the shellscript
[01:34] <poulap> maaybe pip lost his dual boot?
[01:34] <j2daosh> lol j/p
[01:35] <rickski> ?
[01:35] <kzm__> defrysk, but ok.. i will give it a try again...
[01:35] <j2daosh> well if pip lost daul boot then he is asking the wrong question
[01:35] <LadyNikon> poulap: only the shadows know. heh
[01:35] <defrysk> kzm__, I installed amaraaanths nvidia-blx and it runs fine here without kickups or breakage
[01:35] <poulap> lol
[01:35] <liri> someone remind me how do I map a keycode to a certain function?
[01:35] <defrysk> glx*
[01:35] <j2daosh> liri: system, regional, keyboard
[01:35] <kzm__> another question, does anybody know how to get buttons, ubuntu icon and everything smaller everywhere
[01:36] <j2daosh> thoreauputic: so buddy ole pal... when do i get pb rights?
[01:36] <j2daosh> lol
[01:36] <thoreauputic> ?
[01:36] <j2daosh> punk buster
[01:36] <kzm__> defrysk, you used the blx? ok.. i tried the glx
[01:36] <Asc> Anybody got ssh X forwarding working?
[01:36] <defrysk> kzm__, that was a typo
[01:36] <kzm__> defrysk, whats the difference btw?
[01:36] <defrysk> i ment glx
[01:36] <aimtrainer> hi! I have a 640*bla res right now and cant change the res in the nvidia xserver settngs because the part to enter the new res is not displayed due to the low resolution and I cant get the window up
[01:36] <aimtrainer>  im afraid my explaination of my problem is kinda crappy..
[01:36] <kzm__> ah
[01:37] <aimtrainer> ah btw i have the beta nvidia driver installed
[01:37] <POVaddct> Asc: ssh -X username@hostname  does not work?
[01:37] <defrysk> kzm__, there was breakage a few weeks ago but thats no longer the case
[01:37] <knight96> Dose ubuntu has some chm viewer?
[01:37] <j2daosh> aimtrainer: u will need to edit your xorg.conf file
[01:37] <roryy> liri: one limited option is 'system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts'
[01:37] <KerLeone> I am a new linux user, can anyone help me please, I have trouble with the installation?
[01:37] <kzm__> dfrysk.. two weeks? thats about when i tried the repository
[01:37] <defrysk> kzm__, nvidia-glx can be savely installed now from amaranth's repo
[01:37] <aimtrainer> j2daosh: thanks
[01:37] <Asc> POCaddct: correct.  When I try to start a program, it tells me that it 'cannot connect to display'
[01:37] <kzm__> defrysk, thanx
[01:37] <liri> j2daosh: there's no system regional but preferences or administration
[01:37] <defrysk> kzm__, yw :)
[01:37] <Asc> *POV....
[01:37] <roryy> knight96: xchm looks promising
[01:38] <j2daosh> hold please, phone call
[01:38] <POVaddct> Asc: what is the setting of the DISPLAY variable?
[01:38] <knight96> can it be get by apt-get?
[01:38] <zorba64> knight96: gnochm or kchmviewer
[01:38] <kzm__> defrysk, u know by any chance how to get your genome interface using smaller icons for the buttons and everything?
[01:38] <roryy> knight96: oh, gnochm even more so (assuming you're running normal ubuntu)
[01:38] <roryy> knight96: yes
[01:38] <knight96> thanks all
[01:39] <Asc> POVaddct: HostComputerName:10.0
[01:39] <POVaddct> Asc: HostComputerName? shouldn't that be localhost?
[01:40] <KerLeone> I am a new linux user, can anyone help me please, I have trouble with the installation?
[01:40] <zorba64> KerLeone: just ask away old son
[01:40] <j2daosh> thoreauputic: remind iris how to set keybinds. im at work using putty so i cant see exactly where its at again
[01:40] <Asc> POVaddct: Hmm.  From what I hear it's supposed to pick a correct display automatically.
[01:41] <digiqq> KerLeone: what's the problem mate?
[01:41] <j2daosh> and i think i told him the kde way to do it and he is probably using gnome
[01:41] <POVaddct> Asc: yes. the display offset (10.0) is correct.
[01:41] <thoreauputic> j2daosh: I'm using fluxbox :)
[01:41] <j2daosh> lol crap
[01:41] <j2daosh> ok iris gimme a sec to finish this phone call and ill nx in and see what i get
[01:41] <POVaddct> Asc: but the hostname seems not to be
[01:42] <KerLeone> zorba64, I started the installation (also in differen video modes and in save mode), but after a while of installing a blue screen comes saying "Failed to start x server" and in the log it says "no screens found".
[01:42] <Asc> POVaddict: 'export DISPLAY=localhost:10.0' and retrying gives the same error
[01:42] <POVaddct> Asc: is xauth installed on both machines?
[01:43] <Asc> POVaddict: Yes.
[01:43] <zorba64> this should be fun...ok what are you installing from...live cd?
[01:43] <POVaddct> Asc: hmmm. and is X11Forwarding enabled in sshd_config on the server side?
[01:44] <Asc> POVaddict: Yes.
[01:44] <j2daosh> ahh crap...
[01:44] <liri> j2daosh: the system recognizes my function keys as keycode 176 and 177 question is how do I now set them as my volume up/down keys?
[01:44] <liri> j2daosh: I've done it before but a long time ago when I got this laptop and forgot how... I *think* it was through gconf-editor but I'm not sure.
[01:44] <j2daosh> my gnome theme is edubuntu...
[01:44] <EmxBA>  i've installed amarok on *ubuntu* and there is no icon in the gnome panel, what's the problem?
[01:44] <KerLeone> zorba 64, yes I think,  I made a cd from the iso of the deskotp version
[01:44] <POVaddct> Asc: and you run ssh as the same user that started the local X session?
[01:44] <roryy> liri: look at 'system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts'
[01:45] <KerLeone> zorba64, version 6.10
[01:45] <ndc> when i update some error W: GPG error
[01:45] <ndc> how to fix it
[01:45] <zorba64> EmxBA: none...put it there yourself perhaps
[01:45] <j2daosh> ok, system, preferences, keyboard shortcuts
[01:45] <j2daosh> type in the key code in the vol. up/down sections
[01:46] <Grimboy> EmxBA: Have you got the notification area on? Have you checked in amarok's options?
[01:46] <EmxBA> zorba64: not in the panel, in the place near the watch
[01:46] <EmxBA> yes, i want it to be in not. area, Grimboy
[01:46] <zorba64> KerLeone: and the live cd boots to a gui, or is that one of the probs
[01:46] <Asc> POVaddict: The lines 'X11UseForwarding yes' and 'X11UseLocalhost no' have been added to server sshd_config... and 'ForwardAgent yes' and 'ForwardX11 yes' have been added to client ssh_config, as per a tutorial I can't quite seem to find again.  Could any of that cause problems?
[01:46] <Asc> POVaddict: Yes, I'm running ssh as the same user.
[01:47] <Grimboy> EmxBA: So you've got the notification area on in gnome and have checked amarok's options?
[01:47] <POVaddct> Asc: dont know about the X11UseLocalhost option
[01:47] <kaur> I need urgent help with cpu scaling . Temp is constantly about 52C speedstep is not working. What to do?
[01:47] <zorba64> EmxBA: you mean the tray
[01:47] <j2daosh> catch that liri
[01:47] <EmxBA> zorba64: yes
[01:47] <antifuchs> hi there. I upgraded to 6.10 from dapper today, and now my laptop (an IBM T40p) hangs for about 5 minutes when booting up. Choosing the "recovery mode" in grub shows that it waits after starting the "kernel event manager", showing as the last message "NET: registered protocol family 17"
[01:47] <EmxBA> Grimboy: yes, the tray icon option is on
[01:47] <liri> ok hold up
[01:47] <antifuchs> it almost looks like it's trying to do a DNS lookup, or something.
[01:48] <Sobko> hello
[01:48] <antifuchs> searching for that symptom hasn't revealed anything. Do any of you have an idea what it could be?
[01:48] <KerLeone> zorba64, yes, first of all, some seconds after boot I have a menue in graphical format to choose install options. Then the install bar comes and after one or two minutes a dos-like window comes with the error message
[01:48] <Sobko> how to delete file
[01:48] <POVaddct> Asc: i suggest setting X11UseLocalhost to yes
[01:48] <fyrestrtr> antifuchs: try turning off your wifi
[01:48] <thoreauputic> Sobko:  rm <file>
[01:48] <j2daosh> Sobko: CLI = rm /switch file_to_delete
[01:48] <zorba64> KerLeone: cant detect you display...what are you running
[01:49] <j2daosh> gui = right click, move to trash
[01:49] <ragamuffin> I just installed 6.06. 1 alternate version. But I can't play  movie or music files. "You do not have decoder installed to handle this file"
[01:49] <antifuchs> fyrestrtr: um, how do I do that when (or before?) it boots up?
[01:49] <thoreauputic> !codecs
[01:49] <Asc> POVaddict: Hah, you got it.  I commented out X11useLocalhost no, restarted the daemon, and it works.

[01:49] <j2daosh> u may have to sudo if u dont own the file
[01:49] <fyrestrtr> antifuchs: fn+f5 will toggle your wifi+bluetooth.
[01:49] <antifuchs> at least the atheros status led doesn't show any activity
[01:49] <KerLeone> zorba64, I have a ATI Radeon X850 XT and a CRT Monitor 19"
[01:49] <POVaddct> j2daosh: "switches" are called options in unix and they start with - not /
[01:49] <antifuchs> oh god,  you're right.
[01:49] <POVaddct> Asc: cool
[01:50] <Sobko> rm: cannot remove `linux-headers-2.6.18_386_i386.deb': No such file or directory
[01:50] <antifuchs> fyrestrtr: cool, it now shows 7 more messages, waits for another 30s and starts to boot!
[01:50] <Sobko> why
[01:50] <antifuchs> now, how do I make it boot up unattended without taking half of forever? (:
[01:50] <fyrestrtr> antifuchs: I have a T43, that's how I know these things :)
[01:50] <j2daosh> POVaddct: yeah... but i was using / as separator... i contemplated using {} but decided not to at the last minute
[01:50] <roryy> Sobko: is the file on your desktop ?
[01:50] <antifuchs> fyrestrtr: fantastic advice (:
[01:50] <Sobko> no
[01:51] <POVaddct> j2daosh: ah, okay
[01:51] <thoreauputic> Sobko: that's a package manager function : try sudo apt-get remove linux-headers-2.6.18_386_i386
[01:51] <j2daosh> Sobko: whats because the file doesn't exist
[01:51] <roryy> Sobko: where is it?
[01:51] <Sobko> /usr/src
[01:51] <fyrestrtr> antifuchs: you can disable some services, and the first thing you should do before troubleshooting is turn off the splash screen so you can see the bootup messages.
[01:51] <j2daosh> why do you want to delete it?
[01:51] <Sobko> i try to compile but fail
[01:51] <zorba64> any ATI X850 user in here?
[01:51] <Sobko> and i want try again
[01:51] <EmxBA> can someone help me with amarok?
[01:51] <fyrestrtr> antifuchs: you can disable it from the grub prompt, just remove 'quiet' from the boot line.
[01:51] <j2daosh> Sobko: do you have build-essential installed?
[01:51] <antifuchs> fyrestrtr: yeah, sounds like a good idea.. it seems like it's waiting for bluetooth
[01:52] <j2daosh> s/build-essential/build-essentials
[01:52] <Sobko> linux-image-2.6.18_386_i386.deb
[01:52] <thoreauputic> Sobko: that kernel is ahead of edgy - do you know how to compile a kernel?
[01:52] <Sobko> linux-headers-2.6.18_386_i386.deb
[01:52] <fyrestrtr> antifuchs: on thinkpads, the fn+f5 will toggle both bluetooth and wifi off or on, so if you see the bluetooth light on, then your wifi is also on.
[01:52] <kaur> How do i get speedsteping to work?
[01:52] <POVaddct> j2daosh: build-essential is right
[01:52] <roryy> j2daosh: no, it's build-essential
[01:52] <Sobko> no
[01:52] <j2daosh> oh
[01:52] <j2daosh> ok
[01:52] <Sobko> i try to install
[01:52] <j2daosh> that one :P
[01:52] <Sobko> but fail
[01:52] <fyrestrtr> kaur: it works by default.
[01:52] <thoreauputic> Sobko: this is a Debian package, right? Not an ubuntu package
[01:52] <Asc> POVaddict: thanks for the help.  I love how cool things keep turning up, it makes things fun. :)
[01:52] <Sobko> maybe file corrupt
[01:52] <j2daosh> its been alittle while since i installed it
[01:53] <Sobko> oo
[01:53] <Sobko> so
[01:53] <antifuchs> fyrestrtr: no, that's not how it used to work here
[01:53] <Sobko> how to i delete kernel
[01:53] <thoreauputic> Sobko: where did you get that package?
[01:53] <j2daosh> debian != ubuntu
[01:53] <antifuchs> fyrestrtr: for me, fn+f5 used to toggle bt only
[01:53] <Sobko> i get ubuntu forum
[01:53] <kaur> fyrestrtr: No it doesn't. Cpu is about 53 C constantly
[01:53] <POVaddct> Asc: i'd rather use text apps and screen in ssh sessions. the detach feature of screen just rocks.
[01:53] <protocol1> is there a way to get my ubuntu machine to print from a computer on my network thats sharing its printer?
[01:53] <fyrestrtr> antifuchs: acutally, it does both :) Just that the light on the wifi doesn't come on. I've had that happen many times.
[01:53] <Sobko> how to remove kernel
[01:53] <fyrestrtr> kaur: what cpu do you have?
[01:53] <Sobko> it error
[01:53] <j2daosh> go to /usr/src
[01:54] <Sobko> and

[01:54] <antifuchs> fyrestrtr: well, I've been using wifi happily without ever having to press fn+f5 for years
[01:54] <KerLeone> zorba64, hey, I found a tutorial for my grapgics card in the net: http://blog.php-stage.de/?p=8
[01:54] <mamzers555> did you know that some routers have a nasty bug with irc
[01:54] <j2daosh> then do sudo rm file_to_delete (filename goes where the "file_to_delete" part of the command is
[01:54] <mamzers555> they can be disconnect with:
[01:54] <Sobko> hey
[01:54] <KerLeone> zorba64, I wil ltry that. Thanks for your help you helped to search for the right thing
[01:54] <fyrestrtr> antifuchs: heh maybe its an atheros-only thing. I have intel's chip in my laptop.
[01:54] <Sobko> can i remove kernel
[01:54] <antifuchs> oh, also: that it continued booting after I pressed fn+f5 seems to have been a fortunate coincidence. I can't reproduce it in non-recovery mode now
[01:54] <Sobko> how to remove
[01:54] <zorba64> KerLeone: have a look here too https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[01:55] <protocol1> is there a way to get my ubuntu machine to print from a computer on my network thats sharing its printer?
[01:55] <j2daosh> Sobko: rm filename
[01:55] <antifuchs> it still hangs after starting the event manager, no matter if bt/wifi is on or not
[01:55] <thoreauputic> Sobko: stop being annoying
[01:55] <j2daosh> once you are in the /usr/src directory
[01:55] <KerLeone> zorba64, ok, thank you much for your help!
[01:55] <KerLeone> cu
[01:55] <zorba64> KerLeone: np
[01:55] <antifuchs> gah. laptops are annoying.
[01:55] <valehru_server> hmm...my ipod doesnt seem to be mounting when I hook it up via the USB port...strange
[01:55] <fyrestrtr> hmm, events manager. Hangs? No activity at all?

[01:56] <protocol1> is there a way to get my ubuntu machine to print from a computer on my network thats sharing its printer?
[01:56] <kaur> yes there is
[01:56] <Grimboy> antifuchs: Yet convenient at the same time.
[01:56] <fyrestrtr> kaur: just a sec.
[01:56] <thoreauputic> !printing
[01:56] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[01:57] <kaur> use google keywords samba print share
[01:57] <VigoFusion> zorba: That one Xorg page showed me more than I can remember, it had the fix for the ATI RadeonXPRESS 200 on it though.
[01:57] <antifuchs> fyrestrtr: it doesn't show any new messages for about 2 minutes, then continues
[01:58] <thoreauputic> kaur: no, you don't need samba to share printers between Ubuntu or linux boxes on a network - cups will do it
[01:58] <Daviey> I am trying to install something from the universe repo.  I'm pretty sure i have it in sources.list ( deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy universe
[01:58] <Daviey>  deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy universe) but it isn't recognised.  Any ideas?
[01:58] <liri> if I have a key which when using xev doesn't show up any symbol (NoSymbol) how can I map a symbol?
[01:58] <kaur> i thought one was win sry
[01:59] <thoreauputic> Daviey: what are you trying to install?
[01:59] <Daviey> thoreauputic, pyserial
[02:00] <antifuchs> fyrestrtr: I just looked into /var/log/boot; it seems to wait for 3 minutes between starting the event manager and continuing the bootup process. between those times, in kern.log I can find a lot of messages from 14:54, then nothing for 2 minutes, then "Inspecting /boot/System.map..." on 14:56.
[02:00] <thoreauputic> Daviey: no such package in dapper
[02:00] <thoreauputic> !info pyserial
[02:01] <ubotu> Package pyserial does not exist in any distro I know
[02:01] <Daviey> thoreauputic, http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/edgy/source/pyserial
[02:01] <heikki_> I need to run windows under Dapper. What is the most painless way? I can take a performance hit
[02:01] <antifuchs> the last message is from the ath driver, then ACPI says "PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:01.0 disabled"
[02:01] <Daviey> heikki, vmware
[02:01] <thoreauputic> Daviey: do you want source or a binary package?
[02:01] <Grimboy> I always used to be able lean back on my chair effectively. Now it seems like I've got something stuck in it. I've tried lschair but I just get the usual, wheels and cushions.
[02:01] <Daviey> thoreauputic, either
[02:01] <heikki_> Daviey, player/workstation/server?
[02:02] <kaur> fyrestrtr: so do u have any ideas?
[02:02] <thoreauputic> Daviey: then you can download from packages.ubuntulinux.org it seems
[02:02] <Daviey> heikki, player (free)
[02:02] <Daviey> thoreauputic, which file (there are three)
[02:02] <heikki_> Daviey, thanks, I'll look it up.
[02:02] <thoreauputic> Daviey: no idea, sorry
[02:03] <lilleman> Hello, I have a strange resolution problem. On a Radeon 9500 Pro, and a Viewsonic VA1912w, there's a naative resolution of 1440x900. But when it's set, the parts that's "outside the 4:3 field", to the left and right, is buggy and combined. So that when you drag a window over it to the left, it also shows to the right
[02:03] <Daviey> heikki, there is a website for creating images for free.  then you can use the player and have a full virtual machine
[02:04] <thoreauputic> Daviey: you'll need all three to build a deb - read the apt-howto for more info
[02:04] <Daviey> thoreauputic, thanks
[02:04] <thoreauputic> Daviey: or install apt-howto
[02:05] <antifuchs> also, heh. the text console is in black & white now.
[02:05] <thoreauputic> Daviey: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html  <-- this will help
[02:06] <liri> Ok now I need to sort up my hibernation problem
[02:06] <lilleman> anyone know anything about my problem? :)
[02:07] <CorpseFeeder> i just installed something called sensors-applet, but I have no idea where it is on my computer or what to look for
[02:07] <thoreauputic> Daviey: the package is called python-serial apparently
[02:08] <thoreauputic> !info python-serial
[02:08] <ubotu> python-serial: Module encapsulating access for the serial port. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.2-3 (edgy), package size 36 kB, installed size 228 kB
[02:08] <Daviey> heikki_, www.easyvmx.com (creates vmplayer machines)
[02:08] <CorpseFeeder> where do I find this sensors-applet or how do I run it?
[02:09] <thoreauputic> Daviey: in these situations it's best to do a search like apt-cache search python serial
[02:09] <Chetic> I was playing with Beryl the other day while playing a video and now Totem refuses to run because it can't establish a connection to the sound server... What do I do?
[02:09] <Chetic> Other sound applications work
[02:09] <Daviey> thoreauputic, it's a pain as under sapper i simply did apt-get install
[02:10] <Chetic> Wait, no, none of my sound works
[02:10] <Aldoliel> CorpseFeeder, Right click on your panel and click "Add to panel" It should be listed in there somewhere
[02:10] <thoreauputic> Daviey: you still can
[02:10] <thoreauputic> Daviey: just install python-serial
[02:10] <thoreauputic> !info python-serial edgy
[02:10] <ubotu> python-serial: Module encapsulating access for the serial port. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.2-3 (edgy), package size 36 kB, installed size 228 kB
[02:10] <CorpseFeeder> thanks
[02:11] <Daviey> thoreauputic, woohoo! chers
[02:11] <thoreauputic> Daviey: apparently pyserial is the *source* package and python-serial is the binary
[02:12] <SlimG> is ndiswrapper-utils available on the cd version of ubuntu?
[02:13] <mc44> SlimG: yes
[02:13] <SlimG> mc44: thanx :)
[02:14] <mc44> SlimG: its not installed by default though, you have to install the .deb off the CD
[02:14] <bassM> Is there any hope in upgrading from dapper to edgy without complete reinstall, or is it just asking for trouble?
[02:14] <mc44> bassM: it should be fine as long as you havent got lots of 3rd part repository stuff on your computer
[02:14] <kaur> could someone explain what might be causing the following error: FATAL: Error inserting speedstep_centrino (/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/speedstep-centrino.ko): No such device
[02:16] <bassM> mc44: only plf...
[02:16] <SlimG> mc44: I just need to be sure it's possible to apt-get it off the cd
[02:16] <mc44> SlimG: yep
[02:16] <mc44> bassM: should be fine, follow the instrustions in

[02:25] <josh__> who uses fluxbox in here?
[02:26] <Juxi> hej, I do have a problem with mounting my usb stick, can somebody please help me?
[02:26] <josh__> can i freenx into my box with a fluxbox theme? or does it have to be gnome/kde/xdm?
[02:26] <VigoFusion> oh ratso, now Ilost it, was an Ubuntu page that explained rglfx and that other thing
[02:26] <davor> hey, is ubuntu not using /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf?
[02:26] <Zaggynl> Hi, I'm pretty much a gamer, and I'm wondering what the best/lightest desktop-manager (right word) is? Gnome seems a tad sluggish to me
[02:26] <davor> im trying to get GdmXserverTimeout to go up to 25s, but it isnt working
[02:26] <josh__> juxi, plug it in, sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mount/point
[02:27] <josh__> u may have to use the -t vfat switch with taht
[02:27] <Juxi> when I plug it in it's mounted and there's an fstab entry but when I access it, it says that only root can mount the device
[02:27] <josh__> ie - sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mount/point
[02:27] <josh__> ahh
[02:27] <Juxi> when I manually change the fstab entry I can mount it (defaults to user)
[02:28] <josh__> fstab entry, change to user,auto,umask=0000
[02:28] <Juxi> but since it's automounting the entry is deleted if I unplug the stick
[02:28] <josh__> hmm
[02:28] <davor> nevermind, i think i found the answer
[02:28] <Juxi> I do not want to add that manual entry into the fstab since the port might change (depending on which usb port I use)
[02:28] <josh__> it shouldn't be deleted from fstab...
[02:29] <kaur> how do I get the speedsteping to work?
[02:29] <josh__> does the port change if u use a different usb port?
[02:29] <Juxi> I read the forum posts and that's what should happen if you want to automount it ...
[02:29] <Juxi> yeah it does /sdc /sdd
[02:30] <josh__> i thought they all connected to a usb hub and that hub decided... if only one was plugged in it would always be 1 no matter what plug u use
[02:30] <Juxi> is there a way to edit the way this autogenerated entry?
[02:30] <janitor_x> hello
[02:30] <blizzkid> lo all. I've tried about every "solution" I could find on google, but still can't get my sound to work. AC97. Anyone any ideas?
[02:30] <woland_> is the upgrade process from dapper to edgy still troublesome?
[02:30] <janitor_x> i wanted to use console (no X) but telinit 3 seems to do nothing... any suggestions?
[02:31] <josh__> blizzkid: go to command prompt, type in amixer/alsamixer, make sure stuff aint muted
[02:31] <Juxi> any other ideas  @josh__
[02:31] <liri> when I'm going into hibernate mode the laptop goes all blank and just stays like that forever when I turn it off manually and turn it on again it boots up as if nothing happened...
[02:31] <liri> has anyone experienced that before?
[02:31] <ProN00b> blizzkid, that is strange, you must have some strange  ac97, i think i have a ac97, and it worked out of the box
[02:32] <josh__> hmm... lemme use my google-fu real quick
[02:32] <ProN00b> blizzkid, what does it say about the sound device in kernel logs ?
[02:32] <VigoFusion> I found it again, still interested?
[02:32] <blizzkid> ProN00b, as far as I can see from lsmod and such, it detects the card
[02:33] <ProN00b> blizzkid, so no errors but no sound ?
[02:33] <woland_> has anyone upgraded from dapper to edgy using apt?
[02:33] <blizzkid> indeed ProN00b
[02:33] <josh__> look in /etc/udev/rules.d/050_hal* and see what that says. That is the rule that creates sd* devices.
[02:33] <Juxi> I looked this up http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=173300 but the solution there did not work for me
[02:33] <kaur> How to solve this: /etc/init.d/powernowd: 156: cannot create /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor: Directory nonexistent
[02:34] <ProN00b> blizzkid, uuh, thats sucky, hmm, did sound work before ? like on other distros, windows ?
[02:34] <josh__> http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=debian-user&m=113928822321247&w=2
[02:34] <blizzkid> when this box was running windows, it worked fine
[02:35] <ProN00b> blizzkid, best you can do is prolly buying some cheap 10 bucks soundcard
[02:36] <josh__> blizzkid: did you check the mixer to make sure it wasn't muted?
[02:36] <blizzkid> ProN00b,  yeah, but I don't want to spend money for something that should just work, you know.
[02:36] <josh__> that was my problem...
[02:37] <blizzkid> josh__, yep; checked everything
[02:37] <Orkie> hi. what package gives you ldconfig?
[02:37] <Orkie> i've managed to mess it up somehow and need to reinstall it
[02:37] <ProN00b> blizzkid, the "should just work" is the fault of the hardware manufacturer, it worked for my via ac97 perfectly
[02:37] <VigoFusion> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI  oh I see now, lots more to learn, this is FUN!
[02:37] <josh__> next question... are u using alsa or esd?
[02:38] <Rookie_> 90% of your time goes to reading and learning when it is about linux
[02:38] <blizzkid> ProN00b, but then again... I'm really confused why an lspci and lsmod show no obvious problem
[02:38] <ProN00b> blizzkid, because it propably uses the generic ac97 driver and your chip somehow is special designed so it doesn't work with that
[02:38] <mc44> Orkie: dpkg -S <file>?
[02:38] <oyvind> Anyone know how I can prevent gnome volume manager from auto-mounting a partition on a removable USB drive ? I've tried the following HAL props to no avail: storage.automount_enabled_hint = false, volume.policy.should_mount = false, volume.ignore = true. lshal shows the properties are correctly set in HAL ...
[02:38] <blizzkid> (I'm not 100% sure, but I even think it worked in older Ubuntu)
[02:39] <ProN00b> how do you test sound ?
[02:39] <oyvind> it's a backup partition I don't want auto-mounted, as I have an entry for it in /etc/fstab ..
[02:39] <ProN00b> and do you get errors when you try to play ?
[02:39] <blizzkid> I tried to play some mp3/movie/...
[02:39] <blizzkid> no errors
[02:39] <Juxi> @josh that link did not help much .. in my rules there is only a definition of a socket
[02:39] <Orkie> mc44: thanks
[02:39] <herman_munster> oyvind: noauto
[02:40] <mc44> Orkie: libc6 :)
[02:40] <josh__> blizzard, im going to paste a script and send u the link. save it and run it and see if it kicks out an error
[02:40] <oyvind> herman_munster: OK, that's the HAL property key ?
[02:40] <Orkie> mc44: yeah :)
[02:40] <josh__> !pastebin
[02:40] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[02:40] <herman_munster> oyvind: no, thats the option to add to the line in /etc/fstab
[02:40] <Orkie> mc44: after all my hard work last night, i manage to corrupt part of my filesystem and had to rebuild it
[02:40] <Orkie> ldconfig was a casualty of that
[02:40] <herman_munster> oyvind: sorry, i don't do much gui stuff
[02:41] <alecjw> what command do i do to make a new, empty file?
[02:41] <blizzkid> ok josh__
[02:41] <mc44> Orkie: ah, tis the law of the sod
[02:41] <herman_munster> alecjw: touch /some/file/name
[02:41] <woland_> how come after replacing all instances of 'dapper' with 'edgy' in sources.list i still see mention of dapper when i apt-get update?
[02:41] <Orkie> :)
[02:41] <josh__> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32522/
[02:41] <oyvind> herman_munster: Yeah, I know that, it's already there. But gnome-volume-manager still mounts it when I log in
[02:41] <josh__> there
[02:41] <alecjw> thanks herman_munster
[02:41] <oyvind> this is a HAL/pmount problem.. essentially I want the partition to be completely ignored by gnome-volume-manager
[02:41] <Orkie> luckily i know how debs work, as dpkg won't do anything without ldconfig
[02:41] <mc44> woland_: because you need to apt-get dist-upgrade. but you should be upgrading using upgrade-manager anyway
[02:42] <oyvind> but it does not respect any of the HAL properties I've tried setting for the volume
[02:42] <woland_> mc44, i don't have access to X
[02:42] <mc44> woland_: ah, sorry
[02:42] <josh__> still looking about usb flash problem
[02:42] <josh__> brb, phone call
[02:42] <herman_munster> oyvind: i have no idea re HAL
[02:42] <oyvind> herman_munster: ok, thanks anyway
[02:42] <mc44> woland_: you may need to apt-get dist-upgrade a couple of times to get everything working
[02:43] <Juxi> maybe somebody else has the same problem? http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=302121
[02:43] <Juxi> it's about mounting my usb stick
[02:43] <Orkie> heh, you may spend all night fixing it to get eveything working after an upgrade
[02:43] <mc44> Orkie: positive thinking
[02:43] <blizzkid> josh__, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32523/
[02:43] <Orkie> :D
[02:44] <Orkie> hmm... well a positive thing that has happened is i've got hibernate working
[02:44] <Orkie> (that is how i corrupted my file system, by restoring an old hibernate image by mistake)
[02:45] <mc44> Juxi: add yourself to the defaults group?
[02:46] <recon> On other linux distros, there was a "lock" command for locking a text terminal. Is there any such command on ubuntu?
[02:46] <CaptainMorgan> wow... is it just me or is gedit really overlooked as a powerful editor? didnt' realize it was so competitive... any new editors or popular one lately?
[02:46] <Orkie> CaptainMorgan: i've written bootable programs in C/ASM using gedit
[02:47] <dromer> hmm, Avahi Zeroconf still can't see  mt-daapd
[02:47] <dromer> anybody?
[02:47] <Juxi> @mc44 there is no defaults group
[02:47] <recon> never mind, found program "away".
[02:47] <CaptainMorgan> I got sick of quanta's slowness.. and emacs crazy configs that I just don't have time for(and I am an emacs medium power user).... gedit is basically no fluff
[02:47] <asc> recon: there's one that can be found in repositories...
[02:48] <jatt> recon: lockvc?
[02:48] <mc44> Juxi: check in System -> Administration -> Users and groups, then Mange Groups under the User Privliges tab that everything is ticked
[02:49] <Orkie> CaptainMorgan: yes, it just works and the syntax highlighting is nice too
[02:49] <dromer> yay, it works :)

[02:52] <alecjw> something's asking me to select rausb0 for the first rt2570 card, rausb1 for the second rt2570 card etc. how do i do this?
[02:52] <josh__> Juxi: try adding a "noauto" entry in your fstab
[02:52] <Orkie> CaptainMorgan: no, sorry
[02:52] <josh__> that should supress the automounting feature and just mount according to the fstab
[02:53] <samu> Any perl programmers here? Are you using CPAN.pm to install CPAN modules?
[02:53] <blizzkid> should that be just "no auto" or with some options?
[02:53] <Juxi> @josh noauto where?
[02:53] <VigoFusion> Do I need a firewall and if I do where is one located at?
[02:54] <CaptainMorgan> no problem... either way I think I just found my new favorite editor... and it's been underneath the whole time :)
[02:54] <jrib> !firewall | VigoFusion
[02:54] <ubotu> VigoFusion: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).

[02:54] <exalted> Hi. First of all i need to know if there's a PPC ( iBook ) specific channel that i should go about; or can i ask here?
[02:54] <cypher1> alecjw, why ?
[02:55] <ghostshadow189> hi all , wat folder or file to manage and contain kde theme ?
[02:55] <alecjw> cypher1: whay what? the rtusb0 thing or the firewal lthing?
[02:55] <ghostshadow189> and how can i enable double click to open folder and file in kde?
[02:55] <blizzkid> josh__, so, what do you suggest now?
[02:55] <josh__> or u could change that to /dev/sda1 /mount/point auto noauto,user,umask=0000 0 0
[02:55] <VigoFusion> That is what I remembered, I installed Linux back when ZDnet was still ruler and only onethat promoted it.
[02:55] <cypher1> alecjw, firewall
[02:55] <josh__> lemme look up that card and see what info i can get on it
[02:55] <Juxi> noauto does not work but if I add user it works, the problem is that this entry is gone as soonas thes tick is unplugged
[02:56] <cypher1> alecjw, i thought all OS'es need firewall
[02:56] <alecjw> cypher1: it has its ports closed automatically by default. unless you set up a server eg web server, ythey'll remain closed, so no hackers can get in
[02:56] <blizzkid> k, thx already josh__
[02:56] <alecjw> something's asking me to select rausb0 for the first rt2570 card, rausb1 for the second rt2570 card etc. how do i do this?
[02:56] <defrysk> ghostshadow189, systemsettings > keyboard and mouse > mouse
[02:56] <cypher1> alecjw, isnt that the case with windows also ?
[02:57] <josh__> http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/peripherals-hardware/34474-no-sound-please-help.html
[02:57] <josh__> give that a look, im still looking at others
[02:57] <alecjw> cypher1: i dont think so
[02:57] <Rookie_> even if none have a firewall, its still possible to get in (or hack) by using exploits
[02:57] <blizzkid> josh__, I checked that one before I came here
[02:58] <cypher1> Rookie_, yes depends on the applications you run
[02:58] <Orkie> i only use firestarter to disable and re-enable the firewall easily
[02:58] <Rookie_> any apps - even nano has exploits
[02:58] <digiqq> hey guys, how do I unblock a person from MSN when using gaim?
[02:58] <Orkie> i need it to telnet into my gp2x
[02:58] <Rookie_> Well, maybe not nano but any app
[02:58] <VigoFusion> Firewalls do help keep the pestering webjunk out of a system, any system that has an active connection to an internet can be accessed.
[02:59] <Orkie> digiqq: tools > privacy
[02:59] <Rookie_> correct VigoFusion
[02:59] <digiqq> Orkie: thx, that helps a lot
[02:59] <VigoFusion> Just good to ask stuff that I either dont know or forgot.
[02:59] <Orkie> digiqq: no problem
