[07:28] <nonlinear> i reformatted my HD and restored partition images to some partioins.  I used blkid to get the new uuid and updated fstab, and all parts work find except for /home/myusername, which is being mounted as /media/myusername (???).  i tired to mount and unmont manually but then it was nounted twice..  any suggestions on how to fix this?
[07:28] <Tribe5user> copyofjohan: I don't think so
[07:28] <astro76> aman, in a terminal, type 'ifconfig', and paste the output to pastebin...
[07:28] <astro76> !paste | aman |FrOst|
[07:28] <ubotu> aman |FrOst|: 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 (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[07:28] <unimatrix9> no paste
[07:29] <Bo1> installing ubuntu is so hard is makeing mem mad!
[07:29] <elvirolo2> i have a Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG wifi card, and it used to be detected (as eth1) but now it isn't anymare
[07:29] <Kenvyro> Polygon89 I'm at the "Prepare Partitions" screen. I guess /dev/sda1/ 78641 MB is the partition I want to install Ubuntu on.
[07:29] <XdorotaX> copyofjohan: just make sure your BIOS is set to boot off of a CDROM, and it will.
[07:29] <Polygon89> Kenvyro, did you select manually edit partition table?
[07:29] <Tribe5user> Bo1 what's wrong?
[07:29] <aman> astro76 what is pastebin
[07:29] <Kenvyro> Polygon89 Yes, I did
[07:29] <evilnone> does anyone have any idea why ndiswrapper would error out on a make command?
[07:29] <astro76> aman, see the link from ubotu a few lines up
[07:29] <arun> i logged in to an ftp server through nautilus. how do i log out? it doesn't seem to automatically log out on exit
[07:29] <Polygon89> Kenvyro, ok so are your partitons all set up the way you want? like you have one you want to have root and all that?
[07:29] <bruenig> elvirolo2, it changes sometimes especially during kernel changes I have found
[07:30] <ward_> Can I overclock my centrino in ubuntu? (like clockgen for windows)
[07:30] <aantn> !sysrq
[07:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sysrq - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:30] <[codemonkey] > bruenig
[07:30] <elvirolo2> bruenig: ah you're right, i did change the kernel
[07:30] <[codemonkey] > You overclock using your bios!
[07:30] <elvirolo2> bruenig: shall i change it back?
[07:30] <astro76> aantn, need info about sysrq?
[07:30] <Bo1> rtibe5user:i dont know how to install with out useing the whoe hard disk
[07:30] <bruenig> elvirolo2, just adapt to whatever it is calling it now
[07:31] <Kenvyro> Polygon89 I'm not sure what to answer. I selected the partition I want to install Ubuntu on, but as I said when I click on "Forward" the error comes up.
[07:31] <elvirolo2> bruenig: well... nothing
[07:31] <Tribe5user> Bo1: you need to partiton your hard disk
[07:31] <evilnone> ok so no1 can help?
[07:31] <zombie_monkey> how do I find out if the wireless card is drawing power?
[07:31] <elvirolo2> bruenig: i used to have eth0 and eth1, now i only have eth0
[07:31] <bruenig> elvirolo2, do "sudo modprobe ipw3945"
[07:32] <Polygon89> Kenvyro, ok so you just want a root partiton? your not doing anything weird like having a seperate /home and /boot and whatnot?
[07:32] <Bo1> tribe5user:tellme step by step " i am a windows user.
[07:32] <|FrOst|> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
[07:32] <aantn> astro76: yup
[07:32] <Tribe5user> evilnone: well, if no one answered i guess not
[07:32] <Kenvyro> Polygon89 Yes I want to use that partition for the system. Other partitions are for data storage
[07:32] <AMbrose> What's best program to use to archive mp3 & videos for migration
[07:32] <aantn> astro76: my keyboard doesn't have one
[07:32] <bruenig> elvirolo2, does that err or not?
[07:32] <elvirolo2> bruenig: nope didn't work :(
[07:32] <aantn> astro76: and I want to know if there is any equivalent
[07:32] <astro76> Bo1, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall
[07:33] <|FrOst|> :P
[07:33] <astro76> aantn, hmm that stinks
[07:33] <bruenig> elvirolo2, where did you get this kernel?
[07:33] <aman> astro76 do i have to type 'ifconfig' or 'ipconfig'
[07:33] <Polygon89> Kenvyro, ok with that partiton selected, you should be able to click a 'edit partiton' button, try and find that
[07:33] <astro76> aman, ifconfig
[07:33] <aantn> astro76: yup
[07:33] <astro76> ipconfig is windows
[07:33] <Kenvyro> Polygon89 finished
[07:33] <|FrOst|> :O
[07:33] <AMbrose> What's best program to use to archive mp3 & videos for migration?
[07:33] <zombie_monkey> how do I find out if the wireless card is drawing power?
[07:33] <astro76> aantn, is it a laptop? I know on my laptop it's FN+end for sysrq
[07:34] <bruenig> AMbrose, you mean compression or what?
[07:34] <aman> astro76 is the working of both the commands same or differ
[07:34] <Polygon89> Kenvyro, ok there should be a mount point drop down box, see it?
[07:34] <AMbrose> yes
[07:34] <aantn> nope
[07:34] <Kenvyro> Polygon89 yes
[07:34] <aantn> astro76: its an apple keyboard
[07:34] <arun> does dpkg --force-hold mark an application to be on hold (not get upgraded)?
[07:34] <bruenig> !prefix | AMbrose
[07:34] <ubotu> AMbrose: If you prefix your lines with the nickname of the person you're talking to, you have a greater chance that that person reads your messages
[07:34] <Polygon89> Kenvyro, ok select the "/"
[07:34] <astro76> aman, it's different, but just type the command with no options and pastebin the output
[07:34] <bruenig> AMbrose, just tar it
[07:34] <Polygon89> Kenvyro, that will make it so its your root partition
[07:34] <Kenvyro> Polygon89 I have "/dos" and "/windows"
[07:34] <Tribe5user> Bo1: try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall
[07:35] <Polygon89> Kenvyro, and also, for your external drives, its a good idea to have stuff like /media/dos and /media/windows
[07:35] <aantn> astro76: I'm trying to start compiz, and every time I do that lately it crashes
[07:35] <evilnone> so no1 can help me with my ndiswrapper comiple error?
[07:35] <AMbrose> bruenig would tar.gz work?
[07:35] <mkennedy> AMbrose: mp3 and most video files have little redundancy and won't compress further
[07:35] <aantn> astro76: so we'll see if f13 is sysrq equivalent
[07:35] <bruenig> AMbrose, tar.gz or tar.bz2 or just .tar if you don't want compression but just want one archive
[07:35] <AMbrose> OK thanks
[07:35] <alsa> any one here know CACTI ?
[07:35] <arun> i just installed vmware. is there an easy way (preferably gui) i can set up a shared samba folder between ubuntu and my vmware/windows installation?
[07:36] <bullgard4> What is the difference between 'audio mixer chip name' and 'Audio Controller'?
[07:36] <Kenvyro> Polygon89 I've been prompted to choose another "Type". What would be best? Also, isn't ntfs suppoed to be best?
[07:37] <Polygon89> Kenvyro, type? like type of filesystem for the root partition?
[07:37] <Kenvyro> Polygon89 Filesystem type
[07:37] <Polygon89> Kenvyro, for which partition root or your storage ones
[07:37] <axz> Guys any usefull tutorial about having full accesss to the partitions
[07:37] <bruenig> axz, be more specific
[07:38] <Kenvyro> Polygon89 the root partition. That's where I want to boot Ubuntu from
[07:38] <axz> i need to have fully write rights
[07:38] <bruenig> Kenvyro, ntfs is a horrible filesystem
[07:38] <Polygon89> Kenvyro, you should have that as ext3
[07:38] <Kenvyro> bruenig lol why? just because its being used by windows ^
[07:38] <bruenig> Kenvyro, and can't be used in *nix anyways, probably reiserfs or xfs would be best, but most go with ext3
[07:38] <axz> ned to give my swap portition full write rights to can move my music files to the swap then format the nfs one
[07:39] <Polygon89> Kenvyro, yeah use ext3... i dont think you can boot from ntfs... not to mention ntfs fragments.
[07:39] <arun> anyone?
[07:39] <nandemonai> Anyone know how to stop XFCE loading the gnome desktop (as in wallpaper)? I was messing with the panel and reverted back to xfce's but now even after setting it to 'use xfce desktop' it reverts to the gnome background manager on new login.
[07:39] <frying_fish> nandemonai, do you use nautilus at all?
[07:39] <tony_tomato> anyone: if you had a intel hda onboard soundcard would you go for the realtek linux driver or the alsa version? realtek offers drivers for kernels 2.4 but i have 2.6.20
[07:39] <Bo1> Tribe5user:not helpful to me.
[07:40] <frying_fish> as if you use nautilus whilst in xfce (or any other WM for that matter) nautilus by default is set to control the desktop
[07:40] <ward_> Can I overclock my centrino in ubuntu? (like clockgen for windows)
[07:40] <NeX> Hi
[07:40] <nandemonai> frying_fish: Nope, Thunar.
[07:40] <bruenig> axz, you can't move files into swap
[07:40] <axz> yes
[07:40] <Kenvyro> Polygon89 thank you very much, it seems to be installing now.
[07:40] <frying_fish> nandemonai, humn, thats that route bypassed then
[07:40] <bruenig> axz, if you need to put stuff in that physical place, you need to format it with another filesystem and move them over into that
[07:40] <Polygon89> Kenvyro, cool, and good luck
[07:40] <Tribe5user> Tribe5user: are you using the Desktop cd, as in: is it a graphical screen?
[07:40] <axz> so cant move from nfs to swap?
[07:40] <nandemonai> frying_fish: I went as far as deleting all .gnome dirs in home umm also..
[07:40] <|FrOst|> this channel is kewl :P
[07:40] <bruenig> !swap | axz
[07:40] <ubotu> axz: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info
[07:41] <frying_fish> check in the startup applications its not set to do something with gnome
[07:41] <Bo1> Tribe5user:useing live cd
[07:41] <axz> so what you suggest?
[07:41] <bruenig> axz, swap is like RAM
[07:41] <Nutubuntu> Firefox and Swiftweasel have been crashing on my computer.  (Computer runs 32-bit Feisty, sometimes Gnome, sometimes KDE, on an A64X2.) Memtest shows no problems. I've been starting SW with strace, and I have some strace output files. How do I figure out what they mean, and maybe get some idea of what the problem is?
[07:41] <bruenig> axz, format that partition or find some other medium to keep the files on
[07:41] <nandemonai> frying_fish: Somewhere i turned off 'load gnome services' and it's still coming up. Tried saving the session n all and now I'm stumped.
[07:41] <sugarat> you won't be able to mount a swap filesystem
[07:41] <Tribe5user> Bo1: do you want to dual-boot windows and Ubuntu?
[07:41] <frying_fish> nandemonai, I'm a little stumped as well actually, would have thought that it wouldn't be doing that with ti all turned off
[07:42] <Bo1> Tribe5user:sure why not
[07:42] <axz> sorry portition is ext3
[07:42] <axz> not swap
[07:42] <Kenvyro> lol this takes like 3min...
[07:42] <nandemonai> frying_fish: Maybe try removing my xfce session files?
[07:42] <Tribe5user> Bo1: are you using the live cd right now?
[07:42] <etale> I'm getting an audio error in xmms... it was working just fine yesterday
[07:42] <frying_fish> nandemonai, possibly
[07:42] <axz> bruenig: how about moving files from ntfs to ext3
[07:42] <arun> !shared
[07:42] <axz> possible?
[07:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about shared - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:43] <arun> !smb
[07:43] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[07:43] <Johto> !gates
[07:43] <etale> now I get... please check that soundcard is configured, correct output plugin, no other proram blocking
[07:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gates - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:43] <predaeus> etale, be more specific
[07:43] <bruenig> axz, yeah just cp them over
[07:43] <predaeus> etale. oh ok.
[07:43] <Johto> !bill gates
[07:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bill gates - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:43] <etale> but none of those seem reasonable

[07:43] <axz> hmmz well it gets me error i have no permission
[07:43] <axz> how to fix that?
[07:43] <bruenig> axz, use sudo
[07:44] <Bo1> Tribe5user:yeah
[07:44] <gunnar> Q: How do I change the audio setting from SPD/IF to headset?
[07:44] <axz> bruenig: whats the cmd to move all files from 1 portition to another
[07:45] <Tribe5user> Bo1: click on the install icon and follow the guide until you get to the partitioning part
[07:45] <bruenig> axz, there isn't A command, just do whatever suits your purposes, cp should probably be sufficient
[07:45] <aman> astro76 i have taken the output and pasted in the pastebin but which syntax i have to specify
[07:45] <axz> i cant use sudo in gui
[07:45] <wib> hi, i downloaded the latest java runtime environment (the bin-file) and i believe i installed it, but "java -version" still returns the old version number
[07:45] <axz> only shell
[07:45] <astro76> aman, none it's just text
[07:46] <axz> using gnome
[07:46] <andre> Hi, i would like to install my NVidia graphics drivers. The Restricted Driver Manager says: "Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers."
[07:46] <atarinox> does anybody know a good channel for hardware problems?
[07:46] <Ahadiel> axz, then open a terminal and use sudo...
[07:46] <andre> is this normal, how do i procced?
[07:46] <Nutubuntu> atarinox, #hardware ?
[07:46] <axz> yeah..
[07:46] <Q_Continuum> need some help with nvidia-settings - I forget if there's a specific sub-channel for it or not.
[07:46] <atarinox> tried it.....
[07:46] <Tribe5user> axz: gksu?
[07:46] <arun> i just installed vmware. is there an easy way (preferably gui) i can set up a shared samba folder between ubuntu and my vmware/windows installation?
[07:46] <astro76> axz, then gksu nautilus if you really must use a gui to copy files
[07:47] <axz> lol
[07:47] <axz> damn dind know that!
[07:47] <Bo1> Tribe5user:ok then
[07:47] <axz> thx in million!

[07:55] <mvip> I have a question regarding the behavior of LTSP5....the clients boot up fine and the GDMish login appears...however, when I log in I get logged into the main system, not into the chrooted env... is this the way it's supposed to be?
[07:55] <aman> astro76 i m not able to ping my request has been timed out
[07:55] <mvip> if I do use the console-login however, I get logged into the chrooted environment...
[07:56] <Bo1> be back
[07:56] <Nutubuntu> Firefox and Swiftweasel have been crashing on my computer.  (Computer runs 32-bit Feisty, sometimes Gnome, sometimes KDE, on an A64X2.) Memtest shows no problems. I've been starting SW with strace, and I have some strace output files. How do I figure out what they mean, and maybe get some idea of what the problem is?

[08:02] <kane77> hi.. how can I make screenlets start at startup? i run some screenlets and check the "start on startup" (or whatever it is called) but when I restart it doesn't start...
[08:02] <scatyb> I have a multimedia key on my keyboard that when pressed starts rhythmbox.  How can I change it to start totem?
[08:02] <Nutubuntu> awilkins, wife-0.1.1 release date has been postponed, maybe you can find a workaround for now
[08:02] <cosmodad> I want to use Ubuntu's server edition. Does it suffice to download the "standard" Ubuntu then?
[08:02] <cosmodad> or is there a a special release?
[08:02] <Flannel> cosmodad: Either way will work
[08:02] <cosmodad> can't find anything on the webpage..
[08:02] <steve001hsd> is there a beryl channel
[08:03] <cosmodad> Flannel: so there is a link to the server edition? can you give it to me?

[08:03] <cosmodad> dkbg: stupid me, thanks
[08:03] <Flannel> cosmodad: It should be on most of the mirrors, http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/
[08:03] <tritoch> ward_: you would do it through your bios, not your OS
[08:03] <cosmodad> overlooked the right side

[08:04] <Cuzz> Hi i would like to install NVidia driver. The Restricted Drivers Manager says: "Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers.". Is this normal? How can i proceed if i need to fix it? Thanks
[08:04] <ward_> tritoch, my BIOS doesnt support it, i currently do this on windows with clockgen and it works fine
[08:04] <awilkins> Ok, I just ran into my first issue - I switched user sessions, and my touchpad stopped working, only the trackpoint carried on.
[08:04] <wib> did you know that entering "#/" in the nautilus address bar crashes nautilus?
[08:04] <ward_> tritoch, so i was hoping there was a similar tool for linux
[08:04] <awilkins> Both users can use the touchpad when logged in solo.
[08:04] <scatyb> I have a multimedia key on my keyboard that when pressed starts rhythmbox.   Almost finished installing ubuntu then I got this: "Executing (grub-install hd0) failed. This is a fatal error." HEEELP!

[08:06] <tritoch> ward_: maybe http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=810
[08:06] <kane77> deus, ehm.. i didn't say you should stick with gnome... this just lists all the packages that make kdm...
[08:06] <ward_> tritoch, thanx i'll take a look
[08:06] <tritoch> ward_: but i really dont recommend OS oc
[08:07] <deus> kane77: yeah, i your right, thats why it was so stupid of me

[08:07] <arman> hi everyone, new kernel update <IP_ADDRESS> has wireless stacks inside... does this mean if i complie it i may be able to run my wireless card?????? PLEASE Help
[08:07] <ward_> tritoch, there's no other way for me, + i want to be able to switch it on and off
[08:07] <ward_> tritoch, why don't you recommend OS OCing?
[08:07] <FordCortina> when your trying to backport a binary and apt-get build-dep doesn't tell you you're missing a library which also needs backporting that's a bug right?
[08:07] <aman> astro76 did u got any solution
[08:07] <FordCortina> backport a package**
[08:07] <Kenvyro> okay I have a serious problem here... Almost finished installing ubuntu then I got this: "Executing (grub-install hd0) failed. This is a fatal error." HEEELP!

[08:09] <Flannel> Kenvyro: Did the install complete anyway? (without grub)
[08:09] <pilibeen> anybody know why cant connect to unsecured wireless networks? only secured ones?
[08:09] <arman> hi everyone, new kernel update <IP_ADDRESS> has wireless stacks inside... does this mean if i complie it i may be able to run my wireless card?????? PLEASE Help
[08:09] <ward_> pilibeen, you need to pick the right security, passpghrase, or hex, asci, etc
[08:09] <FordCortina> arman: afaik wireless stack has been around for some time
[08:10] <bobbob1016> Is there a burning program that can burn data spanning DVD's?  I have 15 gig to burn, in multiple files.
[08:10] <pilibeen> ward_: ...but if it's an unsecured network that should all be blank? i can only connect ot my network when it's secure...
[08:10] <FordCortina> arman: some drivers use it some don't
[08:10] <arman> FordCortina: what is afaik wireless stack?
[08:10] <arman> oh
[08:10] <arooni_> folks!  i need to reinstall ubuntu.  i had a previous installation rocking with a 10GB partition for root and a 23 GB partition for home.  but now when i load up the partitioner.... i see that the 10GB partition is listed as : /media/sda1, and the 23GB partition is listed as /media/sda5.   what should i do ? ... i was thinking:  blow away the 10GB partition for /root/ .... create a new partition for home... and copy data from /medi
[08:10] <arooni_> a/sda5 over later...
[08:10] <FordCortina> arman: afaik = as far as i know
[08:10] <ward_> pilibeen, unsecured networks don't ask for a key
[08:10] <arman> do you think it is worth trying?
[08:11] <kane77> arman, afaik => as far as I know
[08:11] <zlx-laptop> :S Im watching a .mov file and all the people are blue!! what on earth hahaha
[08:11] <FordCortina> arman: what card or you trying to get to work?
[08:11] <ward_> pilibeen, i mean the screen doesnt popup, it just connects, but are you rying to connect to YOUR network?
[08:11] <FordCortina> are*
[08:11] <arman> RTL8187 USB
[08:11] <Cuzz> Hi i would like to install NVidia driver. The Restricted Drivers Manager says: "Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers.". Is this normal? How can i proceed if i need to fix it? Thanks
[08:11] <arun> if i have an external hard drive, is 'eject' the same as 'remove safely'
[08:11] <arman> which is inside my asus p5b deluxe wifi
[08:11] <Cuzz> 8600gt
[08:11] <Pici> arun: yes
[08:11] <ward_> pilibeen, if its another network its possible it uses MAC adress filtering
[08:11] <arun> alright
[08:11] <Flannel> arooni_: you don't need /root/  And, you can always change those in the partitioner, to /home and /  Theyre just set to that by default, you're welcome to change them
[08:12] <astro76> aman, hmm that worked, I'm surprised you can't ping google.com, try to ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:12] <axz> guys whats cmd to change partition name?
[08:12] <arooni_> Flannel, what should i do with the exisitng /root
[08:12] <dkbg> Cuzz: whats your card model?
[08:12] <FordCortina> arman: i haven't used one of those before. have you tried ndiswrapper?
[08:12] <Flannel> arooni_: Why on earth do you have a /root?
[08:12] <arooni_> Flannel, should i get rid of the 10GB parition that used to be for root?
[08:12] <bobbob1016> arooni, you just have to change the mount point to / and /home
[08:12] <Cuzz> dkbg : Hi i would like to install NVidia driver (8600GT XFX). The Restricted Drivers Manager says: "Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers.". Is this normal? How can i proceed if i need to fix it? Thanks
[08:12] <pilibeen> ward_: yes im trying to connect to my network...and when it's unsecured, I can't connect. only when it's secured and i have the correct hex key. i'm thinking this is a bug maybe?
[08:12] <arooni_> Flannel, i mean i have a : /
[08:13] <bobbob1016> arooni, if you don't have it format the /home partition, all of your data would be there
[08:13] <Flannel> arooni_: change your old home dir to be a new homedir, don't check the "format", set the other one to /, format that one.  It'll keep the homedir, and install around it
[08:13] <Lichnet> Hi when i connect my camera via usb i can only use a program to import. Isnt there any way to see the files like im seeing my HD? in nautilus? then copy and paste? Theres no mount point for the camera :|
[08:13] <beast> hi, can someone help me resolve this log jam? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35146/
[08:13] <zlx-laptop> im watching a .mov file with totem movie player and people are blue!?
[08:13] <arooni_> ok thats good
[08:13] <ward_> pilibeen, it would surprise me if this is a bug, how do you connect to your wireless network?
[08:13] <dkbg> Cuzz: are you a bot or something? please stop pasting the same question
[08:13] <beast> i think the problem is ttf-opensymbol not being configured
[08:13] <dkbg> Cuzz: thats a sure way to get ignored or scolded
[08:13] <astro76> Lichnet, not for all (or most) cameras
[08:13] <aman> astro76 my request has been timed out again
[08:13] <pilibeen> ward_: i use tool in system>network
[08:14] <parth> i have both gdm and kdm installed
[08:14] <arooni_> Flannel, i have now an extra 63.1 GB of space (cuz i blew up vista).... should i install now and resize my /home partition later?
[08:14] <Lichnet> astro76, its a kodak easyshare c763
[08:14] <Cuzz> Apologies for the last
[08:14] <parth> and while booting it says gdm not starting since its not the default manager
[08:14] <kane77> hi.. how can I make screenlets start at startup? i run some screenlets and check the "start on startup" (or whatever it is called) but when I restart it doesn't start...
[08:14] <parth> and dispalys a message
[08:14] <Flannel> arooni_: you could yeah.  Are they next to each other?
[08:14] <parth> now is that bug
[08:14] <ward_> pilibeen, you also have an icon on the right top of your screen, if u click it you'll get a small list of the networks available
[08:14] <astro76> Lichnet, the easiest thing to do is to take the memory card out and use a card reader
[08:14] <arooni_> Flannel, are what next to each otehr?
[08:14] <frojn1> hello there
[08:14] <ward_> pilibeen, click on you unsecured network there
[08:14] <Lichnet> astro76, i dont have
[08:14] <ward_> pilibeen, then everything should work just fine
[08:14] <astro76> Lichnet, they're cheap ;)
[08:14] <pilibeen> ward_: i'm actually using xfce...
[08:15] <arman> FordCortina: i tried a guide on ubuntuforums.org removing network manager and using ndiswrapper but i don't want to remove network manager
[08:15] <parth> i have both gdm and kdm installed and while booting it says gdm not starting since its not the default manager
[08:15] <frojn1> I wanna make delay menu to 0 like: gtk-menu-popup-delay = 0  In what file do I put this line??
[08:15] <parth> is that a bug
[08:15] <ward_> pilibeen, then i cant help, i never used it
[08:15] <Lichnet> astro76, not here
[08:15] <Flannel> arooni_: what partition is your old vista one?  Or, where would it be, if you partiioned it?
[08:15] <Lichnet> astro76, and im poor
[08:15] <Cuzz> dkbg: Is there anything i can do to fix it?
[08:15] <ctothej> why can't I edit the menus in the toolbar? i cant get to their properties or change order or anything like that.
[08:15] <pilibeen> ward_: oh ok, thnx anyway
[08:15] <dkbg> Cuzz: hmm
[08:15] <ward_> pilibeen, no problem
[08:15] <astro76> Lichnet, then you'll have to use the program to import
[08:15] <arstan> hello world!
[08:15] <frojn1> anyone??
[08:16] <Flannel> pilibeen: I assume it boots kdm instead.  Why would that be a bug?
[08:16] <Flannel> parth,
[08:16] <bullgard4> What is the difference between 'audio mixer chip name' and 'Audio Controller'?
[08:16] <arooni_> Flannel, i dont know... i blew it up and now all it appears is as emptyspace
[08:16] <clearzen_> !grub
[08:16] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[08:16] <arooni_> free space
[08:16] <frojn1> How can I make faster gnome menus: gtk-menu-popup-delay = 0  where do I have to put this line??
[08:16] <Lichnet> I have a 'Kodak EasyShare C763' camera and when I insert it, it goes to a program to import. Well, this program isnt so good, i cant import the big videos i made, always gives error. I would like to access the sd card like im using a pendrive/hd, so i could just copy and paste. I cant see any mount point for the camera... ;/ How can I?
[08:16] <Flannel> arooni_: right, but where?  in between your two partitions? after them? before them?
[08:16] <aman> astro76 what can i do now
[08:16] <astro76> Lichnet, you CAN'T
[08:16] <arooni_> Flannel, its listed firstr... (FREE SPACE, /, /home, swap)
[08:17] <FordCortina> arman: i've never used network manager... personally i just setup a bunch of preferred networks in wpa_supplicant and just forget about it. it's up to you but editing the odd text file is really not much worse than network manager
[08:17] <astro76> aman, I'm at a loss, the dns server is working, you can ping the gateway, but nothing else
[08:17] <Flannel> arooni_: alright, what you want to do is remove /, make a new / at the beginning of your drive
[08:17] <Flannel> arooni_: and then you can merge the freespace and home later.
[08:17] <arooni_> Flannel, ok,
[08:17] <ward_> tritoch, why don't you recommend OS OCing?
[08:17] <Flannel> arooni_: the freespace needs to be next to your homedir to be joined
[08:17] <arooni_> Flannel, interesting; glad i asked you.  what happens if its not
[08:17] <bauer> howto install desktop on my 6.06.1-server
[08:17] <aman> astro76 is there any solution for it
[08:18] <arman> FordCortina: then what is the line to add for my wpa passowrd?
[08:18] <Flannel> bauer: is this a fresh install?
[08:18] <Ahadiel> bauer, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[08:18] <arooni_> Flannel, should it be primary paritition?  (for / )
[08:18] <ZmaX> Qualcuno  riuscito a configurare
[08:18] <Flannel> arooni_: yeah.  If it's not next, you'll end up with two partitions that cna't be joined.  No big deal really.  But not optimal
[08:18] <FordCortina> arman: in wpa_supplicant?
[08:19] <bauer> Ahadiel, Flannel   Thx :-)
[08:19] <arman> is wpa_supplicant a package?
[08:19] <arooni_> Flannel, should i join my /home to the 63.1 GB free space now?
[08:19] <arooni_> Flannel, is it ideal to have such a big /home partition?
[08:19] <astro76> aman, I don't know what else to try, but I'm sure there's a solution
[08:19] <arooni_> Flannel, should i have a separate partition for backup for my documents & such?
[08:19] <arman> FordCortina: is wpa_supplicant a package?
[08:19] <Filthpig> hi, I'm trying to mod gnome to look like macosx, and I'm trying to use gDesklets for the docker, but something is not right there
[08:19] <FordCortina> arman: yes you can get it through apt-get, et al
[08:19] <Filthpig> and the tutorials from the gdesklets page is unavailable
[08:20] <Flannel> arooni_: I guess if you wanted to you could.  But I don't really see a reason for it.  A big home lets you have a lot of stuff.
[08:20] <arman> thanks :)
[08:20] <FordCortina> arman: but you still need drivers that work
[08:20] <aman> astro76 so tell me what can i do how i'll get that solution
[08:20] <arooni_> Flannel, well i'm not sure what else to do with my disk space
[08:20] <frojn1> can ANYONE tell me how to make faster gnome menus. Where do I have to put this line: gtk-menu-popup-delay = 0   ????????
[08:20] <FordCortina> arman: wpa_supplicant only controls what your card connects to and the crypto
[08:20] <teenbeat2007_lap> help need a good working sip client to do voipbuster network
[08:20] <beast> no on knows how to solve this? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35146/   :(
[08:20] <ZmaX> Anyone set up
[08:20] <ZmaX> Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16 (CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)
[08:20] <Flannel> arooni_: I'm not sure you can join your home with your freespace right now. (without reformatting)
[08:20] <Filthpig> !gdesklets
[08:20] <ubotu> gDesklets provides an advanced architecture for desktop applets -- tiny displays sitting on your desktop in a symbiotic relationship of eye candy and usefulness. Homepage is http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org/
[08:20] <astro76> aman, sorry as I said I don't know what else to try
[08:20] <arman> FordCortina: ndiswrapper drivers or binary linux drivers?
[08:21] <arooni_> Flannel, so you reccomend not doing it now?
[08:21] <aman> astro76 its ok sir u tried ur best
[08:21] <BrendanW> How do I remove the drive icons from my desktop?
[08:21] <bullgard4> What is the role or function of 'IEC958' in AlsaMixer?
[08:21] <aman> astro76 thank u sir ;-)
[08:21] <Flannel> arooni_: I wouldnt, no.  I'm not sure the partition in the installer knows what its doing with copying/etc.
[08:22] <upgrdman> is there a way to change the ip of my dns server?
[08:22] <upgrdman> check*
[08:22] <astro76> aman, when you ask for help again make sure you mention the fact that you have a working nameserver, but still can't access out
[08:22] <Jahman> hi
[08:22] <FordCortina> arman: probably the windoze drivers through ndiswrapper are best
[08:23] <FordCortina> arman: if the linux drivers are binary only then they probably won't play nicely with wpa_supplicant (they would need to support the wireless stack you were mentioning earlier)
[08:23] <dkbg> Cuzz: try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=531813#post3231734
[08:24] <dkbg> Cuzz: I'm not sure why the restricted manager is telling you that you don't need them
[08:24] <arman> what if i upgrade my kernel?
[08:24] <dkbg> Cuzz: so just bypass it and install them manually
[08:24] <arman> does it make anything worse?
[08:24] <FordCortina> arman: that won't help
[08:24] <arman> pfff :(
[08:25] <dkbg> Cuzz: the nvidia-glx-new package in the ubuntu repositories is the nvidia proprietary driver, its a little older than the latest one but installing the driver from nvidia is a little more complicated
[08:25] <FordCortina> arman: have you found a howto using ndiswrapper?
[08:25] <homas> hello
[08:25] <dkbg> Cuzz: you get any of that?
[08:25] <ctothej> how can i switch my command prompt to a root prompt?
[08:26] <Flannel> ctothej: sudo -i
[08:26] <arman> FordCortina: i will check... there is a package for using ndiswrapper gui shall i use it.?

[08:28] <kituki> quits between segments. Is there a good way
[08:28] <kituki> to keep it going to the next clip?
[08:28] <kituki> unfortunately starting the playlist over again
[08:28] <kituki> rather than playing the next item in the playlist.
[08:28] <Flannel> !enter | kituki
[08:28] <ubotu> kituki: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[08:28] <dkbg> arman: I think that will require that he recompile the kernel module with every kernel update though
[08:29] <kituki> sorrt Flannel
[08:29] <Cuzz> arman: did you also get the "Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers." message?
[08:29] <kituki> sorry Flannel
[08:29] <dkbg> arman: so it will suddenly stop working if a new ubuntu kernel comes out
[08:29] <kituki> is there a way play mms playlist in ubuntu
[08:30] <dstadulis_> sorry did I just spam the channel?
[08:30] <Nutubuntu> In an strace output file of a crashing browser, the last chunk of stuff that seems to be happening is an attempt to open init.d and the file not being found. Might this be why the browser is crashing?
[08:30] <Yarcanox> nope
[08:30] <Yarcanox> you didnt dstadulis_
[08:30] <dstadulis_> k thanks
[08:30] <Cuzz> dkbg: if it happens, can revert back to the standard drivers if it happens and then fix it when it does happen?
[08:30] <arman> Cuzz: yes and also dkbg is true when you make kernel update to your ubuntu you will install the driver again
[08:30] <ctothej> err, I didnt have alacarte installed!

[08:32] <homas> scam: and it goes back to 1600x1200
[08:32] <homas> scam: any ideas what is happening on my machine?
[08:33] <arman> dkbg: can you tell me how to update my kernel? i downloaded <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:33] <PriceChild> arman, what's wrong with the ubuntu kernel?
[08:33] <PriceChild> !highno | arman
[08:33] <ubotu> arman: A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos.
[08:33] <scam> homas, you can manually edit your xorg.conf
[08:33] <scam> and just take out the 1200X1600 values
[08:33] <moyer> can somone help me disable my onboard soundcard by blacklisting it
[08:33] <moyer> ?

[08:37] <kane77> how can I make screenlets start at startup? i run some screenlets and check the "start on startup" (or whatever it is called) but when I restart it doesn't start...
[08:37] <Nutubuntu> In an strace output file of a crashing browser, the last chunk of stuff that seems to be happening is an attempt to open init.d and the file or directory not being found. Might this be why the browser is crashing?

[08:38] <ra12q> hi all -- running Gutsy on a stock kernel (2.6.22-9-generic).  I installed the NVIDIA binary drivers from the nvidia website, and for whatever reason, each time I reboot my machine, I have to reinstall those drivers because the nvidia ones no longer exist.  i had the same problem at work and fixed it (I think!) by upgrading the kernel.  Doing this here though hasn't helped.  Any one got any ideas what causes it.
[08:38] <hc-> I have universe enabled.

[08:39] <hc-> bethany: yes, i have apache2
[08:40] <BrendanW> Why does video playback work so terribly on Ubuntu?
[08:40] <juri245_> is there a way to push through and update x11 fonts.
[08:40] <BrendanW> I can't even go into menus while playing videos or it glitches terribly.
[08:40] <bethany> you need to generate a certificate enable ssl support and configure your ssl options

[08:40] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[08:41] <hc-> bethany: I know that, but I need the apache2-ssl-certificate package to do just that.

[08:42] <Jammerwoch> I am having a problem specifying a static (non-DHCP) IP address for my 7.04 box.  I set it in System->Admin->Network, and it claims it's at IP <IP_ADDRESS> (what I want it to be), but then I go to a console and type ifconfig and I see that it's at <IP_ADDRESS> (DHCP-assigned).  I can confirm from the router side that it's getting that address via DHCP.  What gives?
[08:43] <homas> scam: it is there
[08:43] <Pretoriab> rambo3: whats the website ?
[08:43] <scam> homas,  whats the link to it.. so i can read it

[08:44] <Jammerwoch> whatever, i know the router is acting as a dhcp server, as it should...but my linux box should only take a dhcp-assigned address if i tell it to.  if i tell it that i want a static ip, it should respect that.

[08:45] <whatever> jammer perhaps your router doesnt accept static IPs, or the static IP you specify
[08:45] <astro76> Jammerwoch, yeah it definitely should work... though I usually set the router dhcp to hand out "static IPs" by MAC address, most routers can do it and it's nice to control everything from one place
[08:45] <whatever> jammer: doesnt sound like it though :P
[08:46] <Jammerwoch> -astro76 yeah, i would prefer that approach, but my router is stupid...won't do it :(
[08:46] <scam> i took out every value so the highest res will be 1024X768

[08:47] <scam> homas,  copy and paste that as your xorg

[09:01] <ferric84> genefitz: yeah, thats where I started from.  I just don't understand why the partition option #1 will not let me shrink my hda
[09:01] <BrendanW> Bucketface: Plugins are for the most part annoying, but I installed it and found a few useful ones. Like Highlight, etc.
[09:01] <Pici> Bucketface: We were all new users once.
[09:01] <Bucketface> Of course.
[09:01] <Bucketface> But we all have different aims.

[09:02] <BrendanW> Thats good.
[09:02] <Bucketface> Indeed.
[09:02] <Bucketface> I nearly cried blood when it was all like "LOL NOT GONNA WORK"
[09:02] <BrendanW> And Bucketface, the plugins that you install don't actually have any effect unless you turn them on. Thats the only reason I downloaded them.
[09:02] <m12> hi all
[09:02] <Bucketface> Yeh
[09:02] <Bucketface> ;d
[09:02] <Bucketface> Well, I can bother someone else if I need to!
[09:03] <Bucketface> haha

[09:03] <m12> how do i uninstall compiled package ?
[09:03] <rexy_> there's a good thread about wpa on the forums too, let me dig it up
[09:03] <mario> hello enyonr can i play pc games on ubuntu

[09:04] <mario> yes rexy ca i play them
[09:04] <Thursty> hi i need a little help installing ubuntu
[09:04] <CoasterMaster> mario: read the private message from ubotu
[09:04] <m12> bucketface, says package not found
[09:04] <CoasterMaster> Thursty: ok, what's going on?
[09:04] <Bucketface> D;
[09:04] <Bucketface> It was a wild guess
[09:05] <m12> hehe
[09:05] <Bucketface> what about rmmod -rf direcory?
[09:05] <Dunas> I'm having trouble finding a working Ubuntu DOOM engine in Feisty, any recommendations?  Ubuntu-offtopic wasn't offering me any help. :x
[09:05] <Thursty> ok well i figured out how to partition in a way that will let my computer recognize all of my HD space (was having error 18) but now it just quits in the middle of install and makes a /target and /target /boot folders on the desktop
[09:06] <CoasterMaster> Thursty: how is your drive partitioned?
[09:06] <Thursty> i clicked on manual during install and made a primary /boot 8mb partition at beginning
[09:06] <Bucketface> Hmm
[09:06] <Thursty> and then a 1546 swap
[09:06] <Bucketface> Amarok still isn't working.
[09:07] <Bucketface> Anyone know how to fix it?
[09:07] <GMWeezel> im looking for a program to draw diagrams of chemical bonds (mostly organic); suggestions?
[09:07] <Thursty> and the rest was put in logical / partition
[09:07] <Thursty> but it keeps renaming thte /boot and / for some reason to /media/something
[09:07] <Flannel> Thursty: 8mb won't be enough for /boot
[09:07] <Thursty> how much do i need?
[09:08] <Flannel> 100 would probably be fine.  Mine's 27M at the moment, with two kernels.
[09:08] <mario> is their a special manual for ubuntu
[09:08] <mario> to learn more
[09:08] <Flannel> mario: help.ubuntu.com
[09:08] <m12> 200mb
[09:08] <SeveredCross> Bleh.
[09:08] <genefitz> ferric84: I am trying to find a freeware solution to resize your partition, since it seems that sometimes gparted does have an issue with NTFS partition shrinking
[09:08] <SeveredCross> Firestarter is a bit too restrictive.
[09:09] <mario> but to learn alot more
[09:09] <CoasterMaster> Thursty: that's because it has to mount those partitions to write to them
[09:09] <SeveredCross> It drops nearly every packet...Not good for BitTorrent and stuff.
[09:10] <template_editor>    ?
[09:10] <SystemOverload> Can someone help me configure dmix?
[09:10] <Q_Continuum> So - what automated, secure backup solutions exist within Ubuntu?
[09:10] <Thursty> CoasterMaster, it stops in the middle of the install and just doesn't do anything, takes me to desktop with /target and /target /boot folders

[09:14] <ahmadsaifan> OK, i have a s-video wire that i can hook up my laptop to the TV, I've done it before on windows, but how can i do it on ubuntu?
[09:14] <genefitz> Kenvyro, bring up your terminal and type in (or copy and paste) sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:14] <BrendanW> Bucketface:  Mind If I message you? I can help you out with that.
[09:14] <Bucketface> yeh
[09:15] <Bucketface> k

[09:16] <Puppy_> I found this really cool program, but it only works in windows. I don't want to buy it and find out that it does not install in wine. So is there an alternative to Satellite Tv On PC Elite? It is a legal program that you watch tv on your computer through the Internet (not through a pc tuner).
[09:16] <ahmadsaifan> V
[09:16] <ahmadsaifan> OK, i have a s-video wire that i can hook up my laptop to the TV, I've done it before on windows, but how can i do it on ubuntu?
[09:16] <BrendanW> Oh, well I can just do it here anyway.
[09:16] <Scr1pt> anyone here has experience with ventrilo on ubuntu ?
[09:16] <ahmadsaifan> OK, i have a s-video wire that i can hook up my laptop to the TV, I've done it before on windows, but how can i do it on ubuntu?
[09:16] <Bucketface> Okay.
[09:16] <PriceChild> Puppy_, i doubt it...
[09:16] <BrendanW> Use Synaptic Package Manager and search for "gaim"
[09:16] <ahmadsaifan> OK, i have a s-video wire that i can hook up my laptop to the TV, I've done it before on windows, but how can i do it on ubuntu?
[09:16] <Bucketface> I did.
[09:16] <PriceChild> Puppy_, you'll need to pay as hosting live streaming tv is expensive
[09:16] <Bucketface> And I said remove all
[09:16] <BrendanW> Then mark anything with "gaim" to Mark for Removal.
[09:16] <Puppy_> PriceChild: I am ok with paying. :)
[09:16] <ahmadsaifan> OK, i have a s-video wire that i can hook up my laptop to the TV, I've done it before on windows, but how can i do it on ubuntu?
[09:16] <Bucketface> but then I tried the installer again and it said "clashes with gaim data"
[09:17] <BrendanW> Are you sure you marked everything with gaim in it for deletion?
[09:17] <BrendanW> Err, removal rather.
[09:17] <ahmadsaifan> OK, i have a s-video wire that i can hook up my laptop to the TV, I've done it before on windows, but how can i do it on ubuntu?
[09:17] <ahmadsaifan> OK, i have a s-video wire that i can hook up my laptop to the TV, I've done it before on windows, but how can i do it on ubuntu?

[09:17] <pigskin> Hi all
[09:17] <Bucketface> There was no gaim data thing in there
[09:17] <PriceChild> ahmadsaifan, please stop repeating like that.
[09:17] <gordonjcp> !repeat | ahmadsaifan

[09:17] <Bucketface> previously I had both of them on my computer at once.
[09:18] <gordonjcp> ahmadsaifan: have you tried it?
[09:18] <Puppy_> PriceChild: but I guess there still would not be a program to do that, even if I paid?
[09:18] <BrendanW> I couldn't get it to work with GAIM on my system.
[09:18] <BrendanW> Bucketface: Hmph. I'm stumped.
[09:18] <Bucketface> Yeh.
[09:18] <Bucketface> Well, I can't remember who linked me the last time
[09:18] <PriceChild> Puppy_, I haven't a clue sorry :) I'm just saying that no-one could give that service for free.

[09:22] <Scr1pt> bucketface if u run normal ubuntu its gnome desktop while amarok is made for kde right?
[09:23] <salah> any idea why not any vcd plays? neither in clv, mplayer, totem or any other players. the codecs are installed, I can play mp3, watch avi/mpeg video, etc but simply not VCD
[09:23] <Bucketface> Uh, it was working before :S

[09:23] <Scr1pt> bucketface, i think it has something to do with missing kde libaries
[09:23] <salah> there is nothing wrong with the vcds, they work fine in the player and windows...
[09:24] <Bucketface> How do I get those in then?

[09:25] <T-Connect> How I run rpm from command?
[09:25] <kitche> ahmadsaifan, not sure what you mean by monitor management since xorg takes care of it
[09:25] <T-Connect> Super user.
[09:25] <ahmadsaifan> what is xorg
[09:25] <Scr1pt> bucketface if u install the programm using the ad/remove function its suposed to auto install the libaries with it
[09:25] <BrendanW> Does anybody know how I can hide the drive icons on my desktop?
[09:25] <macd> T-Connect, why are you using rpm on a ubuntu system?
[09:25] <Bucketface> That's what I did.
[09:25] <T-Connect> Yep 7.04
[09:25] <kitche> BrendanW, it's in gconf-editor

[09:28] <ahmadsaifan> where can i access xorg's configuration?
[09:28] <T-Connect> I try that.
[09:28] <macd> T-Connect, so no, you'll need to find a 3rd party repo (not really supported) or build it form source.
[09:28] <Scr1pt> bucketface, in the time u had it workin , did u use it w/ ur ipod ? cuz im really wondering how im gonna use my ipod once my windows pc is going to my sissy
[09:28] <tux2> in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:28] <T-Connect> I try to make one and it fail.
[09:28] <ivx> ahmadsaifan, what kind of gfx card you got?
[09:28] <T-Connect> Both ways fail.
[09:28] <ahmadsaifan> i dunno
[09:28] <Bucketface> I don't own an ipod
[09:29] <macd> T-Connect, well you should get with the vmware people and look for a solution to the failed build

[09:29] <aman> astro76 i think i have to install driver in linux
[09:29] <kitche> Bucketface, sudo apt-get install amarok should have installed the deps also
[09:29] <Adlai> Ravenndude`: open up nautilus and click on the filesystem
[09:29] <ahmadsaifan> ahhh im confused
[09:29] <T-Connect> I don't think they will be making a new version from deb.

[09:32] <genefitz> macd: it is the only way I have ever known to convert .rpm to .deb.
[09:32] <BrendanW> I'm trying to sift through gconf-editor; and can't find the option to disable drives. I've narrowed it down to Desktop > Gnome (but can't get any further than that)
[09:32] <ubuntufan> just a second
[09:32] <[manas] > i got kworld tv tuner how can i intall it on ubuntu??????/
[09:32] <macd> genefitz, if completely ignore dependancies
[09:32] <aman> DrClaw can u solve my problem
[09:32] <super61> godzirra: doing it know
[09:32] <super61> now*
[09:32] <LucianIndy> I just downloaded and compiled jEdit but how do I install the java application for access from the gnome applications menu?
[09:32] <kitche> Bucketface, might be due to your audio device being used already 167 device is hard to tell :)
[09:32] <aman> DrClaw: can u solve my problem
[09:32] <macd> genefitz, if you want a deb you build it not try to repackage rpm.
[09:32] <Bucketface> What do you mean, being used already?
[09:33] <Bucketface> Also, the problem is, if I try to play anything, it just freezes! And I do have mp3 codec on here now D;
[09:33] <godzirra> Anyone?
[09:33] <ubuntufan> The following packages have unresolvable dependencies. Make sure that all required repositories are added and enabled in the preferences.
[09:33] <genefitz> macd: don't get me wrong, I am never up for doing that, I don't personally use it, I will go from source if need be. Just noting that the option is there...
[09:33] <ubuntufan> and in a white text box : kdebase-bin
[09:33] <macd> yeah it is an option, but whew its not safe
[09:34] <nox-Hand> What would people recommend for a fullscreen media centre app with keyboard-only controls (preferably not many keys)
[09:34] <amonkey> i'm trying to make a link in my /var/www/ folder to another folder so that it's visible, and it works when i try folders in /media/whatever but not to anything in my home folder. whats up?
[09:34] <Scr1pt> bucketface, i just installed amarock and it seems to work fine :S
[09:34] <genefitz> macd: I agree with you 100% cross platforming is never safe.
[09:35] <Bucketface> Yeh
[09:35] <Bucketface> It's something to do with meD:
[09:35] <Bucketface> Well not me
[09:35] <Bucketface> but the computer
[09:35] <macd> yeah I didnt want to come over as contradictory, just wanted it to be known it wasnt safe
[09:35] <[manas] > i got kworld tv tuner how can i intall it on ubuntu??????/
[09:36] <godzirra> Hey guys.  I've edited my xorg.conf, and the only modes I have listed are 1440x900, but X is still booting up to 1024x768.  how do I fix it?
[09:36] <super61> godzirra: it forund curopt files reburn it?
[09:36] <kitche> Bucketface,  http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=7964.0;topicseen should fix it
[09:36] <[manas] > i got kworld tv tuner how can i intall it on ubuntu??????/
[09:36] <super61> or download another one?
[09:36] <ckin2001> @ godzirra - look at /var/log/(xorg file)
[09:36] <Bucketface> Thanks
[09:36] <macd> !wide
[09:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wide - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:36] <kitche> Bucketface, it deals witht he wacom drivers int he xorg.conf but no clue why amarok will fail just due to those
[09:36] <[manas] > i got kworld tv tuner how can i intall it on ubuntu??????/
[09:37] <godzirra> super61: google for how to check the md5sum of the iso, to make sure it downloaded correctly.  Or if you're lazy, just reburn it and  hope the iso download worked ok.
[09:37] <genefitz> godzirra: did you change the native resolution and the resolution options to the highest at 1440 x 900?
[09:37] <Adlai> [manas] : you only need one question mark, I think
[09:37] <godzirra> genefitz: In my xorg.conf, the only mode -listed- is 1440x900
[09:37] <godzirra> For 16 and 24 bit color depths.
[09:37] <Bucketface> okay
[09:37] <macd> godzirra, you need to add some custom modlines to your xorg config, what model gfx chipset do you run
[09:37] <Ududu> godzirra: what is your graph card?
[09:37] <genefitz> godzirra, have you tried running sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ?
[09:37] <[manas] > Adlai: ok where can i find drivers for my tv tuner
[09:38] <ckin2001> godzirra:have you checked the log files?
[09:38] <godzirra> genefitz: Yes.
[09:38] <godzirra> Ududu: something generic.
[09:38] <genefitz> godzirra: and that didn't resolve the issue?
[09:38] <macd> godzirra, somethuing generic wont help us solve your problem, how about doing 'lspci' and telling us :)
[09:38] <Ravenndude`> Sound on my Desktop (both onboard AMD768 and Sound Fusion CS46xx) stopped working the other day. Can anyone help me troubleshoot?
[09:38] <godzirra> genefitz: Nope.
[09:38] <godzirra> ckin2001: Yes.  I see nothing out of the ordinary.
[09:39] <Ududu> godzirra: so its not either intel, nvidia or ati?
[09:39] <mattg> how do i figure out what the workgroup i am in is?
[09:39] <genefitz> godzirra, have you tried a full recon figure using sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:39] <godzirra> geforce 6100.
[09:39] <godzirra> nvidia.
[09:39] <ckin2001> I had the same trouble the other day - it was having trouble detecting my monitor correctly
[09:39] <recon> genefitz: what?
[09:39] <godzirra> genefitz: not yet.
[09:39] <macd> godzirra, and do you use nv, or nvidia driver?
[09:39] <recon> genefitz: oh, never mind.
[09:39] <mattg> how do i figure out what the workgroup i am in is, genefitz
[09:39] <godzirra> vesa.
[09:39] <macd> godzirra, I dont think vesa will support widescreen
[09:39] <genefitz> recon, to fix my resolution in ubuntu I had to sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:39] <godzirra> Ahhh...
[09:39] <godzirra> trying it with nv now.
[09:40] <Ududu> godzirra: go to nvidia.com and get the 6* series driver
[09:40] <genefitz> My acer al1916w was not very friendly with Ubuntu
[09:40] <kris222324> I have a kubuntu KDE ROX !!11
[09:40] <godzirra> wow.. look at that.
[09:40] <macd> unless your a purist you'll get the best performance and features from the NVIDIA blob
[09:40] <Ududu> its the most compatible (/D) driver you can get
[09:40] <godzirra> Use the right driver and it works.
[09:40] <Ududu> (3D)
[09:40] <godzirra> macd: I don't really care about super duper drivers.  I just want 1440x900.
[09:40] <godzirra> its a server.  I rarely use X on it at all.
[09:40] <macd> godzirra, gotcha.
[09:40] <godzirra> Thanks guys ;)
[09:40] <godzirra> I appreciate the help.
[09:41] <Kenvyro> Oh boy, never thought it would be all so hard... ^^ so uh, how do i get my nvidia drivers to work... I tried reading the guide on the forum, but it has somehow nothin to do with nvidia drivers
[09:41] <genefitz> matt, for the most, in reconfigure, you leave everything alone, enter through until you get to the video driver, and monitor
[09:41] <genefitz> when choosing resolution, use the medium option, it should give you 1440 x 900 (100hz)
[09:42] <genefitz> In the end, it well only give what your monitor allows
[09:42] <Sretsnom> How do I attach a secondary screen to my laptop? And turn off my laptop screen.
[09:42] <clearzen_> Kenvyro: sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx; gksu gedit /etc/X11/Xorg.conf then change the driver from via to nvidia
[09:42] <genefitz> mattg, are you part of a network?
[09:42] <T-Connect> Hmmm deb is screwup.
[09:42] <T-Connect> XD
[09:42] <T-Connect> Least I got the files.
[09:43] <whta> is there any way to keep my gdesklets dock from disappearing when I click the desktop button (with beryl running, it doesnt hide in a normal session)
[09:43] <mattg> genefitz:  i have no idea.  just wireless from the router
[09:43] <macd> clearzen_ its worth mentioning nvidia-glx and -glix-legacy as well
[09:43] <Kenvyro> clearzen_ I did it and now Xorg.conf opened up and well ... its empty
[09:43] <IntuitiveNipple> With Feisty, Gnome, all the windows have decided not to bother with their title-bar, borders, and system menu. Anyone know the setting in gconf to get them back!?
[09:43] <genefitz> mattg: do you have a wireless connection now? I mean, is the net running on the computer?
[09:43] <mattg> yes, genefitz
[09:43] <clearzen_> oh it's xorg.conf
[09:44] <macd> IntuitiveNipple, for a quick fix 'metacity --replace'
[09:44] <charles> Bleh
[09:44] <genefitz> mattg: if you are not using a wireless networking setup, you should not need a workgroup.
[09:44] <Kenvyro> So I went on nvidia.com dloaded the drivers for linux x64 and now its on my desktop >.< Doubleclicking it gives me some kinda error... ^
[09:44] <IntuitiveNipple> macd: does that infer metacity options might be the place to look?
[09:44] <mattg> i am using wireless, genefitz
[09:45] <macd> IntuitiveNipple, metacity is the window manager, which you dont seem to have running
[09:45] <salah> any idea why no players play VCD?
[09:45] <genefitz> mattg, if you are getting internet already, you shouldn't need to enter a workgroup.
[09:45] <macd> out of the box it should be, but if youve been installing compiz it may have messed something up
[09:45] <IntuitiveNipple> macd: And thinking about... I've got desktop-effects in operation (aka Compiz) would that have a bearing on this?
[09:45] <genefitz> that would be more for connection to networked computers
[09:45] <mattg> i need to know for my virtual pc. genefitz
[09:45] <chymera> join #desktop-effects
[09:45] <chymera> hmmmm#
[09:45] <macd> if you have desktop-effects on and no borders that means emerald isnt running
[09:46] <macd> IntuitiveNipple, so emerald --replace :)
[09:46] <genefitz> oh, mattg. I see... That is a horse of a different color, let me look that info up..
[09:46] <macd> or -replace I cant recall atm
[09:46] <Bucketface> kitche:
[09:46] <LucianIndy> macd: double dash
[09:46] <Bucketface> kitche: I'll need some guidance on that kubuntu webpage D:?
[09:46] <mattg> okay, im using virtualbox, genefitz.  not sure how the "shared folders" works with it
[09:46] <IntuitiveNipple> macd: I'm trying to find the setting to control this rather than just run the command - I'm alpha-testing between Feisty and Gutsy with the same /home :)
[09:47] <gplgeek> Some great work being put into ubuntu/kubuntu recently.
[09:47] <Bucketface> Oh I think i get it
[09:47] <macd> IntuitiveNipple, you can add it to the session, by going to system --> prefs --> sessions
[09:47] <chymera> anyone know what's up with compiz?
[09:47] <macd> then click new, add the complete command+ path
[09:47] <gplgeek> compiz is somewhat pointless at the moment
[09:48] <macd> chymera, what do you mean whats up with compiz?
[09:48] <kitche> Bucketface,  gksu gedt /etc/X11/xorg.conf will probably be easier for you
[09:48] <whta> Is there any way to change the delay for docks that auto-hide?
[09:48] <chymera> well it seems to give me and a lot of ppl on the forum a lot of trouble
[09:48] <whta> i mean panels.
[09:48] <macd> chymera, compiz isnt stable software, especially when chances are your running the svn repo
[09:48] <Bucketface> Huh?
[09:49] <greg> anybody have any experience with gnucash?
[09:49] <Bucketface> gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:49] <chymera> im on the trevino repo or however its called
[09:49] <Bucketface> ?
[09:49] <chymera> ...
[09:49] <chymera> but it worked kinda flawless for the past month :-/
[09:49] <IntuitiveNipple> macd: Thanks... metacity --replace worked and reported "Window manager warning: "" found in configuration database is not a valid value for keybinding "toggle_shaded"" so I guess Gutsy is adding things into the configuration
[09:49] <kitche> Bucketface, it open gedit so you can edit xorg.conf graphically and be able to search for those lines
[09:49] <Bucketface> I had that open ;d
[09:50] <qaws> hi, how can I downgrade wine pls?
[09:50] <T-Connect> Alien is broken. :(
[09:50] <salah> anyone got vcds to work with ubuntu 7.04?
[09:50] <macd> chymera, Im sure the people in #ubuntu-effects know a bit more of the specifics
[09:50] <macd> T-Connect, I tried to tell you Alien was not a good choice.
[09:50] <chymera> 10x for the tipp
[09:50] <T-Connect> Oh ok
[09:50] <Bucketface> Kitche, My lines are a little different though D;
[09:50] <T-Connect> I will removed it then.
[09:51] <kitche> Bucketface, the /dev/wacom lines are different?
[09:51] <lacostej> is this the right channel to talk about 7.10/gutsy ?
[09:51] <macd> T-Connect, its possible you can find someone to build vmware-player 2.x for you, or find someone that already has (i.e. try out google)
[09:51] <mp3guy> I'm getting a laptop soon with vista on it, will I be able to non destructively repartition the drive to install ubuntu onto it, allowing a dual boot with the preinstalled vista?
[09:51] <macd> lacostej, no #ubuntu+1
[09:51] <obf213> whats the keyboard command to open terminal?
[09:51] <TheSaint> hi guys. what are the minimum hw requirements for Ubuntu 7 Desktop/Server edition?
[09:52] <available> salah try this http://www.thanhsiang.org/faqing/node/56
[09:52] <Bucketface> Well, they aren't all in that order...
[09:52] <kitche> Bucketface, it does matter what order they are in just uncomment the lines it tells you to
[09:52] <genefitz> mattg: I don't want to lie to you, and I don't know much about Virtual box. all I can do is direct you to their wiki. It may have the answers you are seeking http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Technical_documentation
[09:52] <T-Connect> VMware-player-2.0.0-45731.i386.deb - did not match any documents. I search on google.
[09:53] <nnreyn> hey has anybody had the problem where a program will lock up and you have to terminate it, then afterwards it won't start up anymore
[09:53] <macd> T-Connect, you cant assume that is the name for it
[09:53] <mattg> okay, genefitz, im tryin stuff out
[09:53] <macd> you just need to search on vmware-player 2 on ubuntu
[09:53] <genefitz> mattg, I figure you may want to try mshome or "workgroup" see if one of those may do the trick
[09:53] <salah> available, I have tried that, not working
[09:53] <AdamNation> anybody had any luck getting the linksys WMP54G wlan card to work with feisty? I've found a lot of posts in the forums on it, but I'm having a hard time completing the suggestions 'cuz I'm a freakin' n00b ;-)
[09:54] <mattg> kk
[09:54] <Bucketface> oka
[09:54] <Bucketface> y
[09:54] <Kenvyro> how do I remove the whole password prompting
[09:54] <available> salah then i dont know
[09:55] <nnreyn> how do i recover programs which i had to terminate and therefore don't work anymore
[09:55] <TheSaint> what are the minimum hw requirements for Ubuntu 7 Desktop/Server edition?
[09:55] <salah> it can't be that hard? everything else is working, but I can't get only vcds working on any ubuntu machine here...
[09:55] <macd> Kenvy you mean when it prompts you for a password in the GUI ?
[09:55] <kenvy> macd yes
[09:55] <T-Connect> Well I will just use xp without the VMware Player.
[09:56] <available> salah try this sudo apt-get install vcdtools
[09:56] <available> sudo apt-get install libxine-extracodecs
[09:56] <available> sudo apt-get install libxine-main1
[09:56] <furthur> xD
[09:56] <|FrOst|> :D
[09:56] <AdamNation> i want to try to install ndiswrapper, but I don't have a net connx at all so I downloaded the tar and dropped it onto a thumb drive, but I don't know how to proceed from there..... any assistance would be greatly appreciated
[09:56] <macd> kenvy, you realize if you do that, you loose a level of security right?
[09:56] <salah> available, it is installed
[09:56] <Bucketface> Kitche, I did that.
[09:56] <Bucketface> So will amarok work properly now?/
[09:57] <rawr> oi
[09:57] <kitche> Bucketface, probably have to restart X
[09:57] <kenvy> im using linux and with AV installed I can't be less secure than with windows
[09:57] <available> well im stuck then salah sorry
[09:57] <macd> kenvy, its more for your protection rather than linuxs'
[09:57] <rawr> hey
[09:57] <nnreyn> can someone help me with my problem
[09:57] <rawr> can somebody help me?
[09:57] <TheSaint> what are the minimum hw requirements for Ubuntu 7 Desktop/Server edition?
[09:57] <rawr> damn he asked first lol
[09:57] <macd> kenvy, but you can, just enable the root account and use it.
[09:57] <macd> !root
[09:57] <Bucketface> By restart x you mean ctrlaltbackspace :D?
[09:57] <ubotu> do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[09:58] <genefitz> nnreyn, what problem?
[09:58] <gerald> salut
[09:58] <macd> !root > kenvy
[09:58] <gerald> hi
[09:58] <kenvy> macd in terminal?
[09:58] <AdamNation> lol @ ubotu   you sound like the little buddhist kid from the matrix ;-)
[09:58] <rawr> ok i compeletely reformatted my drive, and i need an operating system, how do i install Ubuntu with out simply downloading it?
[09:58] <nnreyn> I have a couple of programs which i use, they locked up so i terminated them after too long a period, now they don't work and reinstalls don't bring them back either. i'm confused
[09:58] <hagar> hi all. Recently im getting signal 11 while playing tce & et.. regnum online crashes with sigsegv (signal 11) i tryied doom3 crashed too with segmentation error. Even my glxgears crushes my x server :| anybody knows why?
[09:58] <DagonIT> I have Kubuntu 64 I apparently I broke adept -- how do I fix it?
[09:58] <macd> kenvy, the link tells you howto enable the root account, then you simply login like normal
[09:59] <kenvy> thank you very much
[09:59] <ian6> ... so I've got a feisty install where Xorg crashes every time I start it... but only if I have an .xinitrc. Doesn't matter if it's empty, doesn't matter if everything's commented out. If it's there, Xorg crashes. If it's not, Xorg starts.
[09:59] <obf213> hey whats the keyboard short cut to open terminal?
[09:59] <ian6> does anyone have any ideas?
[09:59] <nnreyn> obf213 CTRLSHIFT F1
[10:00] <nnreyn> i believe
[10:00] <Adlai> DagonIT: #kubuntu
[10:00] <DagonIT> thanks
[10:00] <TheSaint> what are the minimum hw requirements for Ubuntu 7 Desktop/Server edition?
[10:00] <BrendanW> Luckily I found out where the option to Hide Removable Drive Icons from my desktop.
[10:01] <nnreyn> so genefitz any ideas
[10:01] <obf213> nnreyn that opens help center -_-
[10:01] <BrendanW> apps \ nautilus \ desktop \ - volumes_visible: uncheck
[10:01] <rexy_> TheSaint, it runs on pretty much anything from this century for sure, and probably older too
[10:01] <rexy_> but the short answer is, depends on what you want to do with it
[10:02] <Q_Continuum> "The minimum memory requirement for Ubuntu 7.04 is 256MB of memory. With only the minimum amount of memory available, the installation process will take longer than normal, but will complete successfully, and the system will perform adequately once installed."
[10:02] <Q_Continuum> http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/704
[10:02] <Q_Continuum> I know I've seen 500MHz and 64MB listed for the Server version, if you're not going to be running a GUI on it.
[10:02] <genefitz> nnreyn, no, sorry, I am not sure. I would try checking ubuntu forums. I have been looking around, and haven't found a plausible solution
[10:02] <Adlai> TheSaint: if it's really old hardware, you should go with the alternate install disc
[10:02] <Adlai> but it should run on most things you can scrounge up to throw at it
[10:03] <AdamNation> obj it's CTRL-ALT-F1 through F6 to open virtual terminals.... to open the windowed terminal, you might have to configure a keyboard shortcut in System->Prefs->Keyboard shortctus
[10:03] <AdamNation> obf rather
[10:03] <shawtooth> I'm having a bit of difficulty changing my wireless MAC address, would anyone be willing to help me?  I can change the address of my wireless (ath0) using either the "hw ether" argument, or by specifying it in /etc/network/interfaces and restarting the network, but it does not alter the mac address of wifi0, and thus wireless stops working...
[10:04] <hagar>  hi all. Recently im getting signal 11 while playing tce & et.. regnum online crashes with sigsegv (signal 11) i tryied doom3 crashed too with segmentation error. Even my glxgears crushes my x server :| anybody knows why?
[10:04] <shawtooth> Is there some way to change the mac address known by wifi0?
[10:04] <qaws> hi, can anyone help me pls with downgrading wine (new version 9.44 doesnt go) - can you help me pls?
[10:04] <Adlai> hagar: make sure you're using the correct drivers for your card
[10:05] <brill> hello
[10:05] <leaf0> Hi
[10:05] <Adlai> and insure that you get nice looking messages from `glxinfo | grep -i render`
[10:05] <TheSaint> Adlai: thank you for the reply. I'm going to install onto a P3 800 Mhz w/ 512 MB RAM. is it ok even for Server edition?
[10:05] <Adlai> TheSaint: yeah that'll be fine
[10:05] <gplgeek> qaws, I'd just apt-get remove wine, then download the source snapshot and compile it yourself
[10:05] <AdamNation> this is probably pretty simple, but how can I install ndiswrapper from a tar instead of using apt-get? I need to install new network drivers before I can download packages
[10:05] <qaws> OK, I will try it - thx
[10:06] <hagar> Im using nvidia restricted evrything used to work fine, its broken recently after some system updates i thing
[10:06] <gplgeek> there's info on how to do that even in the wine tarball itself
[10:06] <leaf0> There seems to be some difficulty installing Ubuntu on an HP e-Vectra
[10:06] <kitche> !compile AdamNation
[10:06] <AdamNation> but where should I drop the tar in the first place?
[10:06] <kitche> !compiling | AdamNation
[10:06] <ubotu> AdamNation: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[10:06] <rexy_> TheSaint, that should work fine
[10:06] <Adlai> AdamNation: doesn't matter; somewhere readable
[10:06] <kitche> AdamNation, your home directory doesn't matter where the tar is
[10:07] <AdamNation> ok thanks
[10:07] <leaf0> Why e-Vectra installation so slow? 800MHz and 256mb RAM
[10:07] <AdamNation> it says it needs the kernel or linux header files in the docs... and when I try compiling, I get a bunch of errors.... I assume those headers didn't come standard with my dist?

[10:10] <ubuntufan> hello again, i have another problem, why can't i set a bigger display resolution than 1024
[10:10] <chris_> how do i enable more then 2 desktops?
[10:10] <ubuntufan> i have ATI RADEON 9250 .. but here it says i have 9200
[10:10] <gplgeek> Anyone know how to get enemy-territory sound working, been through the forums tried the tricks.
[10:10] <rexy_> probably the same chiptype ubuntufan
[10:10] <AnRkey> how do i allow a user to use sudo?
[10:10] <dezelin> ubuntufan, you have to enable other resolutions in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:11] <ubuntufan> mcedit ?
[10:11] <logreeval> Hi, my wireless card has been working well, but now after maybe 2 months, just today it turned off while suspended and i cant get it to turn back on using the Fn +wireless button, its a dell e1405 laptop, any ideas?, i have to restart to get it to turn on
[10:11] <dezelin> sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:11] <rexy_> or just run the Xconfiguration thing again
[10:11] <Thursty> how do you get to terminal, or w/e the place is where you put in all the commands
[10:11] <macd> chris_, right click the desktop-switch applet in the lower taskbar and hit properties, then you can add more.
[10:11] <nandemonai> AnRkey: Add them to the admin group.
[10:11] <ubuntufan> dezelin: i`m there.. now what ?
[10:11] <Bucketface> Apps
[10:12] <Thursty> k
[10:12] <gplgeek> Oh i got it working now....
[10:12] <Ashfire908> is there a meta-package to install xfce without stuff like email clients etc?
[10:12] <dezelin> wait a second
[10:12] <Adlai> logreeval: I don't remember the intel wireless drivers working well with suspend
[10:12] <Adlai> you should probably just avoid suspending
[10:12] <Scr1pt> is there a site where u can learn stuff about linux.. like not helping with a problem, just learning , getting more experience?
[10:12] <dezelin> ubuntufan, find 'Section "Screen"'
[10:13] <ubuntufan> found it
[10:13] <dezelin> at the bottom
[10:13] <logreeval> Adlai: i know, its just it had worked flawlessy before :(
[10:13] <ubuntufan> yes..
[10:13] <Ryan52> I accidentally ran "ltsp-build-client" when I meant to run "ltsp-build-client --arch i386" so how do I get rid of the amd64 version?
[10:13] <dezelin> you will see line with Option "1024x768" in it
[10:13] <Adlai> Ashfire908: probably just xfce4
[10:13] <dezelin> add "1240x1024" in from of "1024x768"
[10:13] <ubuntufan> between EndSubSection and EndSubSection ?
[10:13] <dezelin> and save
[10:14] <ubuntufan> aah
[10:14] <Adlai> dezelin: 12_8_0
[10:14] <ubuntufan> 		Modes		"1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
[10:14] <dezelin> beetwen Option and "1024x768"
[10:14] <ubuntufan> here ?
[10:14] <dezelin> Modes  "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
[10:14] <logreeval> Is there a way to manually turn on the wireless card from ubuntu?
[10:14] <dezelin> change to
[10:14] <ubuntufan> at each and one ?
[10:15] <ubuntufan> there are.. like 6 line of this
[10:15] <Adlai> logreeval: I think you have to modprobe the correct module for your card
[10:15] <dezelin> no just for 24bpp
[10:15] <dezelin> Depth
[10:15] <aman> astro76 r u there
[10:15] <ubuntufan> ah ok
[10:15] <Adlai> if you put that in the correct place in a "wake up" script, you'll probably find everything working correctly again
[10:15] <ubuntufan> save and then ?
[10:15] <Adlai> although you might have to be sure to rmmod it before it goes to sleep
[10:15] <dezelin> you can safely delete others if you're not using those modes
[10:15] <dezelin> logout
[10:15] <gregh308> when trying to install gnucash  I got a error that says " C compiler cannot create executables" ANy ideas on how to resolve ?

[10:16] <aman> adlai help
[10:16] <ubuntufan> ah ok.. and then i can change the display settings .. right ?

[10:19] <macd> gregh308, you should 'sudo apt-get update' first, then try again.

[10:22] <Scr1pt> aman, for me its automaticly working... so dont really know how to set it up manually
[10:22] <aman> means internet is not working in linux but its working in windows
[10:22] <macd> Skrypt, what is the actual file extension?
[10:22] <Thursty> ow do i make ubuntu not ask for my password on startup
[10:22] <Skrypt> .bin
[10:22] <Thursty> how*
[10:23] <hagar> Can anybody tell me why glxgears crush my x serwer, turn off PC and all games exiting randomly with signal 11, sigsegv, segmentation error? ithey used to work fine..I did only updates..
[10:23] <macd> Skrypt, to my knowledge .bin files are binaries (executeables) not video files.
[10:23] <macd> Thursty, you can goto system -- prefs -- login then enable passwordless login
[10:23] <_cap__> hello, I've been trying to get gutsy tribe5 onto a usb stick, anyone succeeded with this before? known problems?
[10:24] <Blauhaut> selam
[10:24] <macd> _cap__, just how youd create any other bootable USB image.
[10:24] <ckin2001> skrypt - you sound like you are missing a .cue file
[10:24] <aman> Adlai do u have any idea to solve my problem
[10:24] <Thursty> ty
[10:24] <Scr1pt> thursty, system->administration->users and groups -> security  -> enable automatic login (i think)
[10:24] <macd> ckin2001, ahh good call, I forgot bin/cue you can use k3b to burn a bin file without a cue file.
[10:25] <ckin2001> he should be able to mount it with iso9660 - but i question the legality
[10:25] <ubuntufan> the thing with sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf didn't work man :(
[10:25] <macd> Thursty, actually were both wrong, its system -- admin -- login window -- security tab
[10:26] <aman> ckin2001 help plz
[10:26] <ropiku> hello, where can I get some help for Gutsy ?
[10:26] <aman> ckin2001
[10:28] <_cap__> macd, eh? ...to get at live iso to a usb stick you'll have to do some file copying, configuring and bootloader setup. the existing guide for edgy does not seem to quite cut it on gutsy hence the question...
[10:28] <Thursty> yeah i found it heh
[10:28] <macd> _cap__, I've always just dd'd the image and set to boot from usb.
[10:29] <_cap__> macd, which image are you talking about?
[10:29] <macd> _cap__, iso.
[10:30] <_cap__> an iso cant be booted from a usb pendrive can it?!
[10:30] <macd> _cap__, its possible some bios's dont have emu iso9660 on usb boot devices
[10:30] <_cap__> macd, ah, I understand, I never thought of such a brute way...
[10:30] <_cap__> =)
[10:31] <macd> _cap__, yeah I've never actually tried the way you refer too, but I dont take mine anywhere with me either
[10:31] <_cap__> what I was attempting was the more sophisticated:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent?action=show&redirect=LiveUsbStick
[10:31] <_cap__> but I fully expect that it has to be tweaked for gutsy, heh
[10:32] <ropiku_> can someone help me with gutsy ?
[10:32] <File13> where do i install screenlets
[10:32] <macd> well Im thinking the issue your running into has todo with boot devices
[10:32] <_cap__> my last attempt booted ok up until it printed "squashfs: version..."
[10:32] <File13> it says ./screenlets but i dont see anything like that
[10:32] <macd> i.e. gutsy uses UUID's rather than /dev/hdx or sdx
[10:33] <macd> ropiku_, gutsy support is #ubuntu+1
[10:33] <ropiku_> macd: thanks
[10:33] <_cap__> ..probably suitable for me too
[10:33] <File13> anyone use screenlets?
[10:34] <yeniklasorr> ssh usr_name@IP_adress   is it true way to connect a ssh server ?
[10:34] <macd> _cap__, have you looked over https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence btw?
[10:34] <macd> they get into usb there as well
[10:34] <macd> it doesnt look like its been tested past tribe1
[10:35] <underdog5004> yeniklasorr, yes, that's how you do it.
[10:35] <_cap__> macd, I saw that, yes
[10:35] <pero> hi
[10:36] <Blauhaut> Where can i find the packages that i download before ?
[10:36] <Blauhaut> where can i find the update files ?
[10:37] <mattg> YESSSS!!!  I finally got my virtual machine working good
[10:37] <fraco> where can i add the high-priority option to the pulseaudio daemon /etc/init.d/pulseaudio doesn't help, nor does /etc/pulse/daemon.conf (ps aux| grep pulse doesnt show the extra option)

[10:42] <KlrSpz> question... if i'm installing an app that also installs like 10 dependancies, and i am just testing... say i might wanna remove it 10 minutes later... is there a quick and easy way to uninstall all those deps i don't need anymore?
[10:42] <yeniklasorr> ok
[10:42] <underdog5004> KlrSpz, once you remove the program, use apt-get autoremove to remove those
[10:42] <underdog5004> yeniklasorr, ok, now type in sudo apt-get update
[10:42] <mattg> bucketface, where do i get emerald?
[10:43] <underdog5004> this will update your apt so it recognizes the new sources
[10:43] <KlrSpz> underdog5004: hmm ok... also, do you think (in synaptic) that saving the "markins" would hepl
[10:43] <underdog5004> KlrSpz, markins? I don't use synaptic too much
[10:43] <Scr1pt> mattG to set ur panels transparant is in the panel options
[10:43] <garryfre> wow, the latest wine for Ubuntu has really screwed things up, oss crashes, Alsa works but the game hangs on exit.
[10:44] <KlrSpz> markings, sorry typo... yeah i haven't either, but i am heping a friend that is not linux savvy
[10:44] <underdog5004> garryfre, that's too bad. Try the wine channel
[10:44] <garryfre> Wine channel is dead.

[10:44] <advancedonsite> hi all
[10:45] <Ashfire908> what meta-package do i install to get xfce with the system tools and prefs, without the programs (as in thunderbird gaim etc)
[10:45] <underdog5004> Ashfire908, probably xubuntu-desktop
[10:45] <garryfre> underdog5004 if I mention it, maybe someone else here is having the same problem. besides the upgrade is offered automatically when I started up ubuntu.
[10:45] <KlrSpz> Ashfire908: i think just xfce4
[10:46] <TimMc> Alert: The Mozilla Preview Archive (gnomefreak.youmortals.com) seems to have been taken over by an adversquatter.
[10:46] <KlrSpz> Ashfire908: i started with xubuntu, which still includes SOME crap, but not horrible
[10:46] <Scr1pt> mattg, try system->preferences->font->best contrast
[10:46] <KlrSpz> i'm thinking of starting via the alternate cd
[10:46] <underdog5004> oh, w/o the programs, my bad, Ashfire908
[10:46] <grillo> hi there
[10:46] <underdog5004> yeniklasorr, how's it coming?

[10:46] <_cap__> can you get the livecd to boot to a mega-failsafe-text-mode?
[10:46] <mattg> scr1pt: no go on the fonts
[10:47] <KlrSpz> Ashfire908: which system tools are you looking for?
[10:47] <Scr1pt> mattg: with best contrast setting it should be good visible
[10:47] <KlrSpz> Ashfire908: it includes the standard xfce settings ui tools
[10:47] <Ashfire908> _cap__, use the alternate cd
[10:47] <KlrSpz> i installed the cups interface to make it easy for my wife
