[06:17] <jordanau> sorry i think it is .com
[06:17] <rukuartic> Flannel: I'm just wondering if they have the wireless tools... the wrapper program (forgot the name ><) and iwtools
[06:17] <bernardo> Ok
[06:18] <Flannel> rukuartic: ndiswrapper?  You'd have to check the manifest, which you should be able to view at the same place you download the ISO
[06:18] <rukuartic> Flannel: Thats it :D the manifest contains package information?
[06:18] <yinepuhotep> Now for my question: How do you get dpkg to recognize the trusted file? I know that's the problem, because I have to use --force to make it not check keys in order to install ANY files.
[06:18] <zoidberg> hey can someone help me out with a problem i'm having installing mplayer?
[06:18] <Flannel> rukuartic: sort of, but yeah.  Not on the desktop ISO, but for the textmode installers, yes.
[06:19] <Jbirk> how do I set my boot splash?
[06:19] <yinepuhotep> You should do ok, bernardo.  We've all sweated over the stress of stuff like that when doing new installs.
[06:19] <thompa> zoidberg: playing or installing
[06:19] <zoidberg> installing
[06:20] <rukuartic> Flannel: Ah, so there's no way to know until then eh? :P What exactly does the server do differently besides skipping X and gnome?
[06:20] <zoidberg> this is the message i get
[06:20] <zoidberg> zoidberg@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install mplayer

[06:20] <thompa> well i just did it, you need to follow the restricted page

[06:21] <thompa> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[06:21] <Flannel> zoidberg: mplayer is in multiverse, you'll need to enable it
[06:21] <rimiliminil> ber: it's not exactly what you're doing, hopefully it helps
[06:21] <thompa> did you do that first?
[06:21] <zoidberg> where in sources.list?
[06:21] <Flannel> zoidberg: it's not in there, you need to type it yourself
[06:22] <zoidberg> what do i need to type and where?
[06:22] <knapper> What other programs out there will play a cue/bin besides vlan?
[06:22] <thompa> zoidberg: need to enable reposiyoties in synaptic
[06:22] <DShepherd> zoidberg: running gnome?
[06:22] <PhilDick> How do I check if I have a certain package installed?  I'm used to using rpm...
[06:22] <rimiliminil> aww damn it impatient queries tick me off...
[06:22] <flipfone> ?? how do i load/start mdnsd daemon
[06:22] <zoidberg> no fluxbox
[06:22] <thompa> *repositories .. too dark in here
[06:22] <dr_willis> PhilDick,  fire up synaptic and search :P
[06:22] <zoidberg> i've downloaded stuff from universal repositories already though
[06:22] <zoidberg> like vlc
[06:22] <Krankily> !info beagle
[06:22] <ubotu> beagle: indexing and search tool for your personal data. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.6-1ubuntu5 (dapper), package size 1208 kB, installed size 3992 kB

[06:23] <DShepherd> zoidberg: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/extra-repositories.html
[06:23] <zoidberg> why isnt this working
[06:23] <Flannel> zoidberg: add "multiverse" after the "universe" in your sources.list
[06:23] <thompa> zoidberg: did you search and find mplayer first
[06:23] <zoidberg> how do i search for mplayer?
[06:23] <Krankily> How can I tell if Beagle is working?
[06:23] <Flannel> zoidberg: you need to enable the repository first
[06:23] <DShepherd> zoidberg: link above ^^^^
[06:23] <thompa> zoidberg: open synaptic, click search
[06:24] <covOPprometheus> anyone knows how to edit file tags of audio files (the ones seen under properties, not ID3) ?
[06:24] <DShepherd>  thompa mplayer is in multiverse.. he just has universe
[06:24] <DShepherd> zoidberg: the link that I sent you shows you how to add multiverse.. check it out
[06:25] <Krankily> And for that matter how do I know Wine is working?
[06:25] <digger> anyone know when nfs mount specified in the fstab are mounted during boot?
[06:25] <Flannel> Krankily: because you can run windows programs in it ;)
[06:25] <dr_willis> Krankily,  download some little windows program. and wine whatever.exe
[06:25] <thompa> .. its just settings: repositories from the menu, just click everything
[06:25] <Krankily> Ah.. need to test it out
[06:26] <Flannel> thompa: no, multiverse needs to be typed in
[06:26] <DShepherd> Krankily: winamp.. or google talk is a good try
[06:26] <PhilDick> OK, so I run synaptic, search for nautilus-actions, and it shows up in the left column...
[06:26] <BSG75> anyone know how I can customize the look of ubuntu? ie: more themes etc?
[06:26] <PhilDick> 1) Does that mean it's installed?
[06:26] <Krankily> Know anything about beagle?
[06:26] <Ropechoborra> Question: iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -j DROP <-- Isnt this for closing icmp ?? (for rejecting pings) ???
[06:26] <zoidberg> thompa, i think i have to type in the multiverse lines
[06:26] <zoidberg> does anyone know what the lines are....for powerpc breezy?
[06:26] <DShepherd> Flannel: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/extra-repositories.html <-- he can here. zoidberg go there..
[06:26] <PhilDick> 2) Is there a way to get a list of installed packages from the commandline?
[06:27] <Flannel> zoidberg: ADD multiverse after each universe, read links.  Plenty of people have told you.

[06:28] <PhilDick> So if I have this right, I can't edit the right-mouse-button menu on my gnome desktop without installing nautilus-actions
[06:28] <rob_p> Ropechoborra, There's more to icmp than just echo-request/echo-reply (pings).   Or more general than that?
[06:28] <DigitalNinja> DShepherd: No. I'm not even using kde. I'm a gnome user
[06:29] <Ropechoborra> rob_p i typed that command.. but didnt do anything
[06:29] <dr_willis> covOPprometheus,  my class was 20 yrs ago. :P
[06:29] <covOPprometheus> hehe np
[06:29] <dr_willis> covOPprometheus,  'Un churro por favore' :)
[06:29] <dugryce> hello i have a networking question
[06:29] <Ropechoborra> dr_willis lol... i got it... necesito ir al bao may be :P ;)
[06:29] <digger> I need to know something about the boot sequence - any experts here?
[06:29] <yinepuhotep> Oh. Nevermind. I missed the full statement.
[06:29] <covOPprometheus> dr_willis, por favor, favore is italian
[06:29] <PhilDick> yinepuhotep no, I want to edit the menu that comes up when you click the right mouse button on the desktop... I want to add other apps to that menu.
[06:29] <thompa> zoidberg: are you wanting to watch a dvd
[06:29] <DShepherd> DigitalNinja: i think superkaramba is a kde app
[06:29] <DigitalNinja> DShepherd: I would like to configure the theems but that option is disabled.
[06:29] <dugryce> i am using a wireless router and the  connection won't take
[06:30] <DShepherd> DigitalNinja: you can try asking the guys in #kubuntu. I bet someone there might be using it.
[06:30] <zoidberg> alright guys
[06:30] <dr_willis> covOPprometheus,  its all greek to me. :)
[06:30] <zoidberg> its downloading
[06:30] <zoidberg> thanx
[06:30] <DigitalNinja> DShepherd: I'll head over there
[06:30] <thompa> zoidberg: you have to follow that stuff on the restricted page all the way through
[06:30] <zoidberg> what is the name for the mozilla plugin for mplayer?
[06:30] <covOPprometheus> anyone knows how to edit file tags of audio files (the ones seen under properties, not ID3) ?
[06:30] <DShepherd> zoidberg: help.ubuntu.com is your friend
[06:30] <zoidberg> i got it thompa
[06:30] <dugryce> i have a wireles card in my system and i have configured it perfectly but when i open a browser it keeps telling me not found
[06:30] <zoidberg> its downloading now
[06:30] <zoidberg> now what is the name of  the firefox plugin for mplaer?
[06:31] <DShepherd> zoidberg: use synaptic and search for it
[06:31] <thompa> zoidberg: vlc always works and i use xine
[06:31] <zoidberg> whats the name of the pacakger....i tried the vlc plugin for firefox....it wasnt working
[06:31] <knapper> What other programs out there will play a cue/bin besides vlan?
[06:31] <dr_willis> dugryce,  well  if you can ping the gateway, but not www.google.com  ( then ya got a DNS server setting/issue)
[06:31] <zoidberg> but i know that mplayer plugin works....at least it has for me in the past
[06:31] <jpjacobs> zoidberg, try mozilla-mplayer ;)
[06:32] <thompa> mplayer was buggy some time  ago
[06:32] <dugryce> i have configured the wireless router correctly
[06:32] <zoidberg> okay thanx
[06:32] <dr_willis> dugryce,  if you can ping googles ip. but not www.google.com - then ya got a  dns issue.
[06:32] <dr_willis> dugryce,  if you cant even ping the  router.. you got a wireless/network issue.
[06:32] <dugryce> how do I fix it
[06:32] <digger> need to know the real issure first
[06:32] <dugryce> both computers aare running Ubuntu
[06:32] <digger> what can you ping?
[06:32] <dugryce> with a belkin router and network card
[06:33] <dr_willis> digger,  the logic of that statement is eluding him. :P
[06:33] <digger> ?
[06:33] <Lard-O-Lad> !botsnack
[06:33] <ubotu> Yum!
[06:33] <digger> err
[06:33] <ivx> has anyone tried a wiresless keyboard/mouse with ubuntu?
[06:33] <dugryce> let me go to try to ping no I tried to ping but it doesnt
[06:33] <thompa> mplayer doesnt work again here anyway
[06:33] <neddiW> Hi, does anyone know how to get Synaptic running? I does not want to open...
[06:33] <dugryce> yeah wireless keyboards work
[06:33] <covOPprometheus> anyone knows how to edit file tags of audio files (the ones seen under properties, not ID3) ?
[06:33] <yinepuhotep> What error do you get, neddiW?
[06:34] <jpjacobs> ivx, got a wireless logitech stuff, works out of the box
[06:34] <dugryce> what should i try to ping
[06:34] <dr_willis> covOPprometheus,  what tags are even under there?
[06:34] <dugryce> www.google .com
[06:34] <PhilDick> neddiW I just opened a window and typed "synaptic"... this isn't working?
[06:34] <PhilDick> window=terminal
[06:34] <dr_willis> and then googles ip address.
[06:34] <dugryce> not form network tools
[06:34] <neddiW> I cannot open Synaptic
[06:34] <dugryce> from
[06:34] <ivx> jpjacobs, thanks, i was shopping around and thats all they seem to sell these days. i personally don't see the point
[06:34] <yinepuhotep> neddiW, what happens when you try to open Synaptic?
[06:34] <neddiW> it asks for password and it does not open
[06:34] <morfeeus> hi!
[06:35] <dugryce> ok brb
[06:35] <yinepuhotep> neddiW, ok, so you need to type in your administrative password.
[06:35] <morfeeus> i want to download the ubunutu
[06:35] <thompa> in mplayer you seem to have to right click,
[06:35] <urmom> i need help
[06:35] <urmom> im new to ubuntu
[06:35] <thompa> !mplayer
[06:35] <ubotu> mplayer is a media player. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPlayer/Compile to compile it from source or enable multiverse repo and type sudo apt-get install mplayer for more info please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPlayer
[06:35] <urmom> i am used to fedora
[06:35] <ubotu> For Codecs try !codecs Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MplayerInstallHowto for installation tips.
[06:35] <morfeeus> can anyone help me?
[06:35] <Flannel> morfeeus: http://ubuntu.com/download
[06:35] <yinepuhotep> urmom: What kind of help do you need?
[06:35] <morfeeus> thanx
[06:35] <rob_p> Ropechoborra,  You only want to block incoming echo-requests?  If so, try, "sudo iptables -A INPUT -i <ethernet_interface> -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j DROP"
[06:35] <neddiW> yinepuhotep, I put the password and nothing
[06:35] <urmom> does ubuntu deafault to a root password cause i never put one in in the instalation
[06:36] <dugryce> it says, "www.google.com can't be found"
[06:36] <red|rain> urmom, use your user password
[06:36] <thompa> i did that , failed to open
[06:36] <dugryce> but everythin is set right
[06:36] <dr_willis> !sudo
[06:36] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[06:36] <urmom> it failes
[06:36] <dugryce> should the host name on both computers be the same?
[06:36] <Ropechoborra> rob_p thats just for the ping?
[06:36] <cl187> heh
[06:36] <PhilDick> urmom, As I understand it there is no root password.  Try sudo bash, and when it asks for a password, give it your user password
[06:36] <yinepuhotep> neddiW, my suggestion is to go to the user editor (System=>Users and Groups) and give root a real password. Then when Synaptic asks for a password, give it the root password you just gave to root.
[06:36] <cl187> i gots a idea
[06:36] <dugryce> it acts as if there is no connections
[06:37] <rob_p> Ropechoborra, Yes.  That will essentially make your, "un-pingable."
[06:37] <dugryce> but it say the wireless connection is active
[06:37] <rob_p> Ropechoborra, *you*
[06:37] <levander> What's supposed to be the best bittorrent client right now? Linux or Windows?
[06:37] <dugryce> the WEP is correct
[06:37] <dugryce> everything
[06:37] <Lard-O-Lad> what is a good cross platform, extenable text editor (that isnt vim or emacs)?
[06:37] <thompa> actually have never seen mplayer work once
[06:37] <yinepuhotep> levander, if you like Java, Azureus works really good. If you don't want to download anything, bittornado is on the Ubundo CD.
[06:37] <dugryce> anyone/
[06:37] <dugryce> ?
[06:37] <yinepuhotep> errr.. Ubuntu cd.
[06:38] <neddiW> yinepuhotep, I will do just that, i will give you an update....
[06:38] <ivx> jpjacobs, did you ever hear of dynex
[06:38] <neddiW> thanks
[06:38] <Ropechoborra> rob_p ethernet interface its eth0 eth1 like that?
[06:38] <covOPprometheus> !ID3
[06:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ID3 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:38] <yinepuhotep> dugryce, I have wireless problems like you're describing, and it's usually because the router isn't giving the card a good signal.
[06:38] <rob_p> Ropechoborra, Yes.
[06:38] <covOPprometheus> anyone knows how to edit file tags of audio files (the ones seen under properties, not ID3) ?
[06:38] <dugryce> it's as if the network card can't pick up the router or something
[06:38] <jpjacobs> ivx, no what's that?
[06:38] <yinepuhotep> Unfortunately, the only solution I've found to the wireless problem is to reboot the router.
[06:38] <urmom> is there a way to reset my root password without reinstalling?
[06:38] <thompa> dugryce: did you reboot  after you set it
[06:38] <dugryce> yes
[06:38] <dibblego> when I attempt to mount -t smbfs why does the mount point has permissions of ?---------  ? ?       ?          ?                ?
[06:38] <yinepuhotep> urmom: Yes
[06:38] <urmom> ?
[06:39] <rob_p> Ropechoborra, Replace, "<ethernet_interface>" with, "eth0" or, "eth1", etc.
[06:39] <yinepuhotep> urmom: From your desktop....
[06:39] <dugryce> in networking does the host name have anythin to do with anything?
[06:39] <ivx> jpjacobs, a brand that makes wireless stuff. i was going to ask if you knew if they worked. they are cheaper than logitec
[06:39] <urmom> where?
[06:39] <urmom> which menu
[06:39] <yinepuhotep> urmom: System=>Administration=>Users and Groups
[06:39] <dugryce> in network settings on both computers
[06:39] <digger> Reset password?  boot a live CD, mount fs with /etc - and edit the shadow file
[06:39] <dugryce> in the general tab
[06:39] <yinepuhotep> urmom: Once you have that opened, tell it do display all users.
[06:39] <dugryce> do the host names have to match
[06:39] <dibblego> dugryce, yes it has something to do with anything at the very least
[06:39] <jpjacobs> ivx, nevr heard of it...
[06:40] <morfeeus> by by!
[06:40] <ivx> jpjacobs, thanks anyway
[06:40] <dugryce> every time i change it the computer has to be rebooted
[06:40] <jpjacobs> np
[06:40] <yinepuhotep> urmom: Then click on root and edit it. Give root a new password and click on "OK" until you're out of the program.
[06:40] <thompa> dugryce: or do networkconfig
[06:40] <dugryce> how do I do that
[06:41] <dugryce> or where
[06:41] <dugryce> ?
[06:41] <Ktron> Is there anything else I can try besides X -configure to find a working config for my monitors?
[06:41] <urmom> thanks its just different in fedora
[06:41] <digger> urmom - you could also rud [ sudo passwd root ]
[06:41] <thompa> dugryce: im in edgy, some things arent right
[06:41] <dugryce> if the sugnal is weak that may have something to do with it?
[06:41] <yinepuhotep> dugryce: What kind of wireless card do you have? Mine is an RT61 and I don't dare use the Network tool, because if I do, it trashes my wireless.
[06:42] <dugryce> belkin
[06:42] <digger> so does anyone know when nfs mounts specified in the fstab are mounted during boot?
[06:42] <quintin> How do I get my wifi adapter to figure out it is not in ad-hoc mode????  it keep saying ad-hoc mod and it's not!!!
[06:42] <yinepuhotep> Belkin is the company that sells it, but do you know what driver it uses?
[06:42] <thompa> dugryce: rest the router maybe
[06:42] <dugryce> i have one computer that dual boots between xppro and ubuntu
[06:43] <yinepuhotep> Mine, for instance, is a Linksys, but the driver is RT61.
[06:43] <DigitalNinja> I am a gnome user and I was spending most of the day trying to get superkaramba working
[06:43] <dugryce> the ubuntu OS saw the wireless router and asked me to configure it
[06:43] <dugryce> so i did
[06:43] <dugryce> everything is set right
[06:43] <dugryce> just no signal
[06:43] <thompa> dugryce: dhcp
[06:43] <dugryce> or connection
[06:43] <DigitalNinja> I forgot about gdesklets
[06:43] <dugryce> yup
[06:44] <DigitalNinja> it's the gnome version of superkaramba
[06:44] <dugryce> should it be set as dhcp
[06:44] <thompa> who is your isp
[06:44] <dugryce> or static IP on the recieving computer
[06:44] <dugryce> Cox
[06:44] <thompa> comcast
[06:44] <thompa> dhcp
[06:44] <Ktron> If 'sudo Xorg -configure' fails to generate a Xorg config file that works at all, are there any other utilities I can try to find a config that works?
[06:45] <dugryce> should I make sure the host names match in network setting
[06:45] <yinepuhotep> Ktron: If you use ATI drivers, there's always aticonfig.
[06:45] <dugryce> between both computers
[06:45] <dr_willis> dugryce,  each pc has its own hostname
[06:45] <raknam> hey i'm trying to install opera using synaptic package manager, i've enabled multiverse and universe, but i can't find it, is there anything else i'm supposed to do?
[06:46] <dugryce> ok so that soesn't matter
[06:46] <dugryce> why is this not working
[06:46] <yinepuhotep> raknam: You have to add opera to your sources.list
[06:46] <dr_willis> dugryce,  dont matter at all.
[06:46] <urmom> i am trying to make mac osx the default on my ibook g4 during boot using yaboot
[06:46] <thompa> what the modem go to
[06:46] <urmom> http://www.askdavetaylor.com/tweak_yaboot_so_mac_os_x_is_my_default_os_not_ubuntu_or_yellow_dog_linux.html
[06:46] <dugryce> is it as simple as signall strenthg
[06:46] <Ktron> yinepuhotep, I'm just trying to get Xorg to run on the livecd... I have a radeon x800gt though, so aticonfig should be useful
[06:46] <thompa> cable modem goes to...
[06:46] <dr_willis> dugryce,  because wireless can be a big PAIN.  if you cant even ping the router.. id guess the card/drivers are not set up right.
[06:46] <urmom> i edited the config but in the next step the directory does not exist
[06:46] <Ktron> I'll try aticonfig
[06:46] <ubuntu> i installed vista over dapper....how do i reinstall the grub boot loader
[06:46] <Ktron> bb
[06:46] <dugryce> but it sees the card in network settings
[06:47] <yinepuhotep> Ktron: you have to install the ATI  proprietary drivers, rather than the Ubuntu ati drivers, if you want to use aticonfig, though.
[06:47] <Flannel> stephan8433: help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[06:47] <thompa> dugryce: whats the card
[06:47] <dugryce> belkin
[06:47] <stephan8433> ty
[06:47] <dugryce> it sees and configures correctly
[06:47] <dugryce> everything
[06:47] <yinepuhotep> dugryce: Do you know what the driver is for your Belkin card, though?
[06:48] <dugryce> no is that an issue
[06:48] <yinepuhotep> Yes, it is.
[06:48] <yinepuhotep> The wireless set up depends on your wireless card's driver.
[06:48] <thompa> dugryce: belkin **
[06:48] <dugryce> the router was recognized immidiatly and operates well
[06:48] <dugryce> I am on the routered computer now
[06:48] <dravas> How do I get this in gnome http://www.gnome.org/~seth/blog/xshots
[06:48] <dravas> easily
[06:49] <dugryce> ??
[06:49] <thompa> dugryce: is it a laptop
[06:49] <dugryce> no 2 desktops
[06:49] <yinepuhotep> dravas: We're going to look.
[06:49] <zoidberg> hey guys how can i get an ipod that i have plugged in via firewire....to work ?
[06:49] <urmom> just mount it
[06:49] <thompa> what kind of belkin
[06:49] <zoidberg> its getting power...but how do i manage it....play the songs in it...and stuff
[06:49] <dravas> ok yinepuhotep
[06:49] <dugryce> wireless g router and card
[06:49] <urmom> gtkpod
[06:49] <covOPprometheus> anyone knows how to edit file tags of audio files (the ones seen under properties, not ID3) ?
[06:50] <urmom> zoidberg try gtkpod
[06:50] <dugryce> when I boot in sinxppro it works fine
[06:50] <thompa> dugryce: whats the card exactly, did you google it
[06:50] <sizzam> dravas: thats XGL-compwiz.   there is a channel on here - #ubuntu-xgl with some wiki links with tutorials
[06:50] <dugryce> no
[06:50] <dugryce> it's a matching set
[06:50] <thompa> do that with linx as keywords
[06:50] <dugryce> card and router
[06:50] <sizzam> dravas: compwiz = compiz
[06:50] <yinepuhotep> dravas: Looks like some pretty detailed instructions near the bottom of the page. I might try it myself. But it does look as if you'll need some tutorials and practice to do something that fun.
[06:51] <Adam> Hi. If I want to install KDE software - e.g. KTorrent and Konversation - should I install KUbuntu instead of the regular Ubuntu?
[06:51] <thompa> dugryce: but i dont know what kind of belkin it is
[06:51] <carthik> Adam, no, just install the kde software you need - no need to install all of kde - I use only amarok and k3b for example
[06:52] <thompa> dugryce: i mean the pc wireless card
[06:52] <Adam> carthik: interesting. are there any particular KDE packages that do require KDE?
[06:52] <thompa> yep
[06:52] <thompa> Adam: kde for one
[06:53] <Adam> since now I don't understand what being a "KDE application" mean...
[06:53] <dugryce> ok
[06:53] <carthik> Adam, KDE is a framework - there is no one set of packages that really can call itself "kde" sort of - like GNOME, you know
[06:53] <dugryce> belkin wireless G desktop Card
[06:53] <carthik> Adam, some KDE libs will be autoselected for install with, say KTorrent, but that's okay, I presume
[06:53] <dugryce> F5D7000
[06:53] <yinepuhotep> As I understand it, a "KDE Application" just means it uses the KDE core libraries and such.
[06:53] <`m0> hi
[06:54] <FliesLikeALap> that is my understanding as well yinepuhotep
[06:54] <`m0> does linux automatically backup fileS?
[06:54] <jbroome> no
[06:54] <FliesLikeALap> no `m0 it
[06:54] <FliesLikeALap> does not*
[06:54] <carthik> Adam, by installing kubuntu-desktop, you will be getting "someone"s idea of a perfect kde desktop with all the apps etc - which is not what you seem to want
[06:54] <Over_There> does anyone know why gnome would be resetting to the login screen after a certain amount of time?
[06:54] <jasonm> how could i record my desktop as a video, like whats happening on my desktop?
[06:54] <dugryce> everything indicates that the network settings are correct
[06:54] <carthik> Over_There, what is the error you get?
[06:54] <vinz> hello people .-)
[06:54] <zoidberg> how can i mount my ipod...its connected trhough FIREWIRE?
[06:54] <carthik> hi vinz
[06:55] <Adam> carthik: is there a disadvantage for using, say, Konversation as opposed to something Gnomish if I'm using regular Ubuntu?  should I seriously consider installing KUbuntu instead?
[06:55] <dugryce> i tend to think it mught be signal strenght
[06:55] <aSt3raL> hey
[06:55] <FliesLikeALap> Over_There is it logging people out or just going to the login screen?
[06:55] <yinepuhotep> Do you have a power problem, Over_There? It sounds to me like you're getting a reboot.
[06:55] <Over_There> i can't find any error message in the logs
[06:55] <swarm_> how do you guys get the nvidia card to work out of the box? even without 3d accel
[06:55] <aSt3raL> im having some more ipv6 issurs i think
[06:55] <Over_There> it doens reboot completely
[06:55] <swarm_> like on ATI, you just choose "vesa"
[06:55] <dibblego> why does mounting a samba share with smbmount give the mount point a permission containing question marks and I can't use it?
[06:55] <Over_There> just to the login screen
[06:55] <FliesLikeALap> Over_There is the user session still running?
[06:55] <yinepuhotep> Adam: Nope. It's just a question of what you prefer.
[06:55] <Over_There> nope
[06:55] <swarm_> but on nvidia cards, any solution?
[06:55] <thompa> dugryce: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185645
[06:55] <vinz> hay charthik
[06:55] <aSt3raL> some other applications wont work right.. possibly due to ipv6
[06:55] <FliesLikeALap> Over_There there isn't anything in /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[06:55] <carthik> Adam, the look and feel will be different. Not much else. I love GNOME and I love Amrarok ;) You can try Kubuntu, of course - no harm in that if you have a few gigs to spare for the extra software
[06:55] <zoidberg> guys how can i mount my ipod...its connected trhough FIREWIRE?
[06:55] <NickGarvey> what command is the opposite of split?
[06:55] <thompa> dugryce: it looks grim
[06:56] <Over_There> nothing that jumps out as errors
[06:56] <dugryce> haha
[06:56] <dugryce> iit does
[06:56] <vinz> im vrom swiss
[06:56] <Adam> yinepuhotep, thompa, carthik: thanks for your help :)
[06:56] <aSt3raL> for example gaim wont logon
[06:56] <dugryce> and i am in love with linux
[06:56] <dugryce> damn
[06:56] <thompa> dugryce: one guy has it working on ndiswrapper
[06:56] <FliesLikeALap> Over_There would you mind sending me Xorg.0.log and Xorg.0.log.old ?
[06:56] <carthik> Over_There, does it say "your session lasted for less than 10 seconds" or something similar?
[06:56] <NickGarvey> !info split
[06:56] <ubotu> Package split does not exist in dapper
[06:56] <FliesLikeALap> Over_There send it to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[06:56] <sizzam> NickGarvey: join?
[06:56] <Over_There> ok will send files
[06:56] <PhilDick> This is galling me... does no one have an editted "right-mouse-button" on desktop menu?
[06:56] <aSt3raL> and xchat resolved freenode.net to <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:56] <DShepherd> sudo apt-get build-dep <package> gives "E: Build-dependencies for <package> could not be satisfied." for any packages
[06:56] <Over_There> and nothing about 10 seconds
[06:57] <FliesLikeALap> aSt3raL check /etc/hosts ?
[06:57] <aSt3raL> i had to ping freenode.net and manually edit the server ip
[06:57] <azathoth> python 2.4 is using 58megs of ram... is there any simple way of reducing the ram usage?
[06:57] <aSt3raL> why check that?
[06:57] <PhilDick> It sounds like I need to have the nautilus-actions package to edit that menu, and I don't find that package in synaptic.
[06:57] <yinepuhotep> Never thought about it, PhilDick. I'm sure SOMEONE must, but I think most people don't think about it.
[06:57] <dugryce> oh well
[06:57] <FliesLikeALap> aSt3raL is it just xchat having this problem or your entire system?
[06:57] <Sweet-P> has anyone been able to make openmosix work (kernel 2.4.x based) on dapper drake?
[06:57] <Adam> azathoth: it's probably running something.
[06:57] <PhilDick> It's only the easiest menu to access... sigh
[06:57] <azathoth> aye, it is... trible...
[06:57] <aSt3raL> entire system
[06:57] <FliesLikeALap> azathoth do ps aux | grep python
[06:58] <azathoth> i was just wondering if there's a way to reduce it
[06:58] <dugryce> let me boot in xpand see if it still works in windows boot
[06:58] <FliesLikeALap> that'll tell you what is using python
[06:58] <aSt3raL> i had to disable ipv6 in firefox to get it to work
[06:58] <dugryce> hols on brb
[06:58] <thompa> dugryce: how old is the wireless card
[06:58] <SilverMonk> guys I'm getting no sound...I've tried everything...
[06:58] <SilverMonk> what should i do?
[06:58] <dugryce> brand spanking new
[06:58] <aSt3raL> theres some ipv6 crap in the /etc/hosts file
[06:58] <neddiW> yinepuhotep, I did what you said but no luck :(
[06:58] <azathoth> i know what's using it... it's using tribler... i was just hoping there were modules i could unload that weren't neccessary or something
[06:58] <thompa> return it get a linksys
[06:58] <FliesLikeALap> try commenting it out aSt3raL
[06:58] <Adam> azathoth: what's taking the memory is not Python, but the process it is running. and afaik, there's no way to reduce that (other than refactorin the Python program of course ;)
[06:58] <azathoth> okie doke, thanks :)
[06:58] <thompa> or whatever works
[06:59] <yinepuhotep> neddiW: What happens if you try it from the terminal? Open a terminal, su to root, then try Synaptic?
[06:59] <PhilDick> Thanks for all the help, answers to questions and things I soaked up.  See you all next time!
[06:59] <Adam> azathoth: yw :)
[06:59] <FliesLikeALap> you're welcome PhilDick
[06:59] <aSt3raL> i edited the modprobe.d file and changed ipv6 to off
[06:59] <SilverMonk> can anyone help with my sound problem?
[06:59] <neddiW> yinepuhotep, ok ill try it
[06:59] <yinepuhotep> SilverMonk: Are you using Alsa?
[06:59] <SilverMonk> yes
[06:59] <FliesLikeALap> what sound card?
[07:00] <SilverMonk> hold up i'll check
[07:00] <aSt3raL> should i have to reboot after editing /etc/hosts?
[07:00] <yinepuhotep> I remember having this problem a while back. Never did find a solution - it just mysteriously cleared up when the next Alsa upgrade came out.
[07:00] <azathoth> tribler has a heavy memory pulll (not huge, but 60megs) but a tiny cpu usage... i recommend it to everyone :)
[07:00] <azathoth> best torrent app i've used on linux
[07:00] <yinepuhotep> Tribler? And only 60 megs?
[07:00] <SilverMonk> Vendo: Intel Corporation
[07:00] <azathoth> and it runs on python, which is great for the ozone or something
[07:01] <yinepuhotep> Standard repository, or its own website?
[07:01] <SilverMonk> Device: 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family)
[07:01] <azathoth> yinepuhotep, yup... 1.5megs for the app, 58 for python itself
[07:01] <jasonm> how could i record my desktop as a video, like whats happening on my desktop?
[07:01] <azathoth> yinepuhotep, found a deb on the ubuntuforums
[07:01] <yinepuhotep> Whoa. Nice, azathoth. I'll happily run something like that. I've been using Azureus, but you know how processor-intensive Java is.
[07:01] <SilverMonk> is there a command i can type to get some sort of listing of my hardware?
[07:01] <SilverMonk> cuz perhaps i can paste that somewhere for you guys
[07:02] <yinepuhotep> SilverMonk, have you looked in your device manager?
[07:02] <azathoth> yeah, tribler is using 2% cpu
[07:02] <yinepuhotep> Or tried lspci?
[07:02] <SilverMonk> yeash thats where i found that info
[07:02] <azathoth> and it's incredibly featureful...
[07:02] <SilverMonk> *yeah
[07:02] <neddiW> yinepuhotep, Password:
[07:02] <neddiW> sudo: Synaptic: command not found
[07:02] <azathoth> it's like a fancier faster version of utorrent... i'm surprised more people don't know about it... although i had to do some rummaging to find it myself :)
[07:02] <dravas> I installed 3ddesktop and how do I run it
[07:03] <yinepuhotep> Hmmm.....I'm not familiar with intel sound cards at all, unfortunately. I've always used SB.
[07:03] <wweasel> whoa, I am interested. SOrry to jump in the middle of the convo azathoth, but what's a faster fancier version of utorrent?
[07:03] <yinepuhotep> Command not found? Do you have Synaptic installed?
[07:03] <FliesLikeALap> Over_There erk, I forgot that the xorg logs don't have timestamps, that makes it the logs relatively useless
[07:03] <thetictacaddict> I wanna get in on this Tribler talk too
[07:03] <azathoth> lemme dig up the deb
[07:03] <FliesLikeALap> Over_There is there a particular application that you're using when this happens?
[07:03] <wweasel> Hey. What's the best way to add a folder to the Places menu?
[07:03] <dr_willis> dravas,  you may want to read up on its ussage at the 3ddesktop homepage.. theres some issues with it - to learn about.. (and its useless eye candy as well) :P
[07:03] <wweasel> azathoth: what's it called?
[07:03] <Over_There> it doesnt seem like it
[07:04] <SilverMonk> yinepuhotep: im getting really intimidated here lol...why won't it just work like everything else does??

[07:04] <dugryce> this is strange
[07:04] <Over_There> it seemed like it happend more when i was using rythmbox but other then that no other program
[07:04] <dugryce> when I boot into Ubuntu on the other computer it just does not work
[07:05] <dr_willis> working perfect in windows does not mean its guarentted to work under linux.
[07:05] <yinepuhotep> Hmmm.....neddiW, have you tried apt-get synaptic to see what it pulls in to satisfy dependencies?
[07:05] <dugryce> but booting into xppro is fine
[07:05] <dugryce> ic
[07:05] <FliesLikeALap> Over_There there are a lot of errors in there about drm stuff, which would most likely have to do with rhythmbox.  are there any DRM-enabled media files you're trying to play?
[07:05] <dr_willis> wireless is a rather  complex thing. and thers lots of little stumbling blocks.
[07:05] <aSt3raL> well i edited the /etc/hosts file and that didnt do anything
[07:05] <SilverMonk> come on guys what do i do ??
[07:05] <aSt3raL> gaim still wont connect
[07:05] <Over_There> DRM?
[07:05] <FliesLikeALap> Over_There I'd say there's a 70% chance rhythmbox is doing something to crash Xorg
[07:05] <neddiW> yinepuhotep,  I have not tryed it , ill do it now
[07:05] <dr_willis> and the companies being jerks about theior drivers dont help much.

[07:05] <dugryce> ok can anyone help me set this computer(in Ubuntu) to work faster online
[07:06] <dugryce> the tech from belkin said i had to change a setting
[07:06] <FliesLikeALap> aSt3raL lsmod | grep ipv6 ?
[07:06] <yinepuhotep> SilverMonk: Unfortunately, I'm not sure. If it won't play ANY sounds, it may be that you need to find a sound guru to help you work through the settings.
[07:06] <Over_There> i dont think so, unless MP3 are included in that
[07:06] <wweasel> Guys, what's the best way to add a folder to the Places menu?
[07:06] <dugryce> when I had it directly thru the cable modem it was faster

[07:06] <Vancouver_Rocks> my computer freez at 26 % during instalaion
[07:06] <FliesLikeALap> Over_There try seeing if perhaps there's a particular song that you're trying to play that crashes xorg.  do you listen to any wma or watch any wmv files?
[07:06] <Vancouver_Rocks> 3rd time same prob
[07:06] <aSt3raL> its not running
[07:06] <intrico> Vancouver:  are you using the graphical install?

[07:07] <dugryce> i just think it's the sigmal strenthg
[07:07] <Over_There> nope,  would it happen even if the player is paused?

[07:08] <FliesLikeALap> dugryce I don't think there's much we can do if your router is seeming to slow things down'
[07:08] <dugryce> oh
[07:08] <yinepuhotep> Hmmm....so it says you already have the latest Synaptic, but when you try to run Synaptic, it says you have a missing library?
[07:08] <intrico> Vancouver_Rocks:  download the alternate cd in order to get a text install
[07:08] <intrico> I bet it will work then'

[07:09] <FliesLikeALap> dugryce if you want help with your router, #ubuntu-offtopic would be a better place for that

[07:09] <dugryce> oh well, as long as the router works
[07:09] <neddiW> FliesLikeALap, what flood? what should I do?
[07:09] <urmom> is there an ubuntu channel for macs?

[07:09] <Vancouver_Rocks> thanks bud
[07:09] <FliesLikeALap> neddiW don't paste large things into this channel
[07:09] <FliesLikeALap> neddiW are you trying to upgrade to edgy eft or are you using dapper?
[07:09] <neddiW> FliesLikeALap, nope Dapper 6.06
[07:10] <yinepuhotep> Ow. Sound on the motherboard. That's painful.
[07:10] <FliesLikeALap> ok, just making sure
[07:10] <wtf> ok, im in deep shit, i cant connect to either operating systems i have on my computer(Ubuntu and Windows).  First it was my X server sayin that it was all messed up, so i figured i would just go to windows, but it wont let me use that either
[07:10] <wtf> i have no idea whats goin on
[07:10] <urmom> are there other ubuntu channels?
[07:10] <yinepuhotep> Unfortunately, sound on the motherboard almost never works properly, even in Windows.
[07:10] <SilverMonk> it worked in windows lol
[07:10] <SilverMonk> and i know there is a way of getting this to work
[07:10] <FliesLikeALap> wtf what happens when you try to go into windows?
[07:10] <DShepherd> sudo apt-get build-dep <package> gives "E: Build-dependencies for <package> could not be satisfied." for any packages
[07:10] <SilverMonk> i tried ubuntu on my dads laptop and it worked fine
[07:11] <DShepherd> DShepherd: what is the problem???? ^^
[07:11] <yinepuhotep> urmom: Have you tried #ubuntu-offtopic?
[07:11] <sizzam> wtf: have you tried reconfiguring your x server yet?   you can do it with this command from a command line:   sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:11] <urmom> no i need a channel for ubuntu on macs
[07:11] <sandpaperback> Hello everyone.  Is there a way to make xchat-gnome autoexecute particular commands once connected to a server?

[07:11] <yinepuhotep> SilverMonk: What do your alsa config files look like?

[07:11] <FliesLikeALap> nalioth are you around?
[07:12] <SilverMonk> yinepuhotep: how do i get that?
[07:12] <wtf> ok, lemme try is sizzam
[07:12] <NickGarvey> sizzam: hehe yup, all of a sudden I realized ;)
[07:12] <sandpaperback> I swear I had it working, but then I deleted my config files. >_<
[07:12] <nalioth> FliesLikeALap: yup
[07:12] <krizzer> has anyone used this guide for xgl http://www.tectonic.co.za/view.php?id=916
[07:12] <Vancouver_Rocks> can i proceed with this ubuntu-6.06.1-alternate-i386.iso.torrent ?
[07:12] <FliesLikeALap> nalioth is there a reason that ubotu isn't sending messages to let me know that it successfully "told" someone about something?
[07:13] <Madpilot> urmom, this is it
[07:13] <DShepherd> sudo apt-get build-dep <package> gives "E: Build-dependencies for <package> could not be satisfied." for any packages <-- How do I fix this problem?
[07:13] <NickGarvey> FliesLikeALap: it stopped doing that a while ago
[07:13] <yinepuhotep> SilverMonk: they should be in /etc.
[07:13] <Vancouver_Rocks> i have a 500 mhz processor, with a 12 gb hd
[07:13] <knurg> sandpaperback: yes, edit servers under edit|preferences|networks
[07:13] <intrico> Vancouver_Rocks:  Yeah, that's what is known as an "alternate install" CD which lets you do a text install
[07:13] <wtf> sizzam im not sure what some of this stuff is(yes, im a bit of a newb)
[07:13] <yinepuhotep> /etc/sound
[07:13] <FliesLikeALap> yeah NickGarvey we carried it over to #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:13] <NickGarvey> FliesLikeALap: I saw :)
[07:13] <yinepuhotep> Oops. /etc/sound only gives events.
[07:13] <sizzam> wtf: what kind of video card do you have?
[07:13] <Vancouver_Rocks> do i need to give commands or its also easy ?
[07:13] <sandpaperback> knurg: But I can't seem to find where in there I would put commands (aside from joining channels).
[07:14] <wtf> sizzam: nvidia GeForce 2Go
[07:14] <raknam> yinepuhotep: how do i add opera to my sources list for synaptic package manager
[07:14] <intrico> Vancouver_Rocks:  It's super-easy, it's just simple menus, rather than an Windowed interface
[07:15] <sizzam> wtf:  do you have the nvidia-glx package installed
[07:15] <Vancouver_Rocks> great, thanks for help, good bye
[07:15] <NickGarvey> DShepherd: try apt-get install -f
[07:15] <yinepuhotep> raknum: # The Opera browser (packages)
[07:15] <yinepuhotep> deb http://deb.opera.com/opera etch non-free
[07:15] <yinepuhotep> That's the lines to put in your sources.list
[07:16] <DShepherd> NickGarvey: that didnt work. any other ideas?
[07:16] <SilverMonk> yinepuhotep: what should i do?
[07:16] <mainer> sandpaperback: xchat>server-list>edit>save
[07:16] <NickGarvey> DShepherd: apt-get update and upgrade? have you tried that?
[07:16] <wtf> sizzam: no, how do i find my video card's bid video identifier
[07:16] <Ademan> anyone know of a good multilanguage GTK based IDE?
[07:16] <wtf> sizzam: bus*
[07:16] <DShepherd> NickGarvey: i sure have... lots of times..
[07:16] <sizzam> wtf: actually, cancel out of that
[07:17] <sizzam> wtf:  then issue this command:    sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[07:17] <mainer> wtf try in terminal lspci
[07:17] <knurg_> is it possible to get x-chat gnome to show a tray-icon like x-chat does?
[07:17] <DShepherd> NickGarvey: do you know what is causing my problem?
[07:17] <yinepuhotep> SilverMonk: I'm looking to see if I can find my sound card info.
[07:17] <NickGarvey> DShepherd: none at all
[07:17] <SilverMonk> yinepuhotep: cheers
[07:17] <sizzam> wtf:  that will install the nvidia glx griver,  then you can choose 'nvidia' from the list when you reconfigure xorg
[07:17] <intrico> Ademan, did you check out sourceforge?
[07:17] <DShepherd> NickGarvey: ...........
[07:17] <mainer> yinepuhotep: lspci
[07:17] <sandpaperback> mainer: a... as in from Maine? and b... I must just not be seeing something.
[07:17] <sizzam> wtf:  otherwise, choose 'nv'
[07:17] <mainer> sqandyes,in maine:)
[07:18] <NickGarvey> DShepherd: I don't have a debian system to read the man file on apt-get
[07:18] <FliesLikeALap> Over_There it definately sounds like your x server is crashing, for whatever thats worth (as opposed to being an intended action)
[07:18] <yinepuhotep> mainer: I'm actually looking for info on configuration to help SilverMonk.
[07:18] <DShepherd> NickGarvey: ok.. thanks......
[07:18] <sandpaperback> <- Is also a Mainer.
[07:18] <mainer> cool
[07:18] <NickGarvey> DShepherd: sorry
[07:18] <DShepherd> NickGarvey: me too
[07:18] <mainer> sandpaperback: i'm in auburn
[07:19] <knurg_> Is it possible to get x-chat gnome to show a tray-icon?
[07:19] <sandpaperback> mainer: Portland here. :)
[07:19] <mainer> sandpaperback: cool
[07:19] <yinepuhotep> SilverMonk: have you tried alsaconf?
[07:19] <SilverMonk> the command?
[07:19] <yinepuhotep> Yes
[07:19] <mainer> yes,in a terminal
[07:19] <SilverMonk> yinepuhotep: i'll try it now
[07:20] <SilverMonk> bash: alsaconf: command not found
[07:20] <FliesLikeALap> any insight as to why all of my sound would be working fine except for flash objects embedded in web pages (maybe flash alltogether) ?
[07:21] <johnnybezak> FliesLikeALap: reboot it will work fine
[07:21] <mainer> try alsamixer
[07:21] <dibblego> when nautilus connects to my samba share under the Places menu, I wish to see the mount command that it uses - how so?
[07:21] <johnnybezak> FliesLikeALap: did you just install it?
[07:21] <FliesLikeALap> no
[07:21] <SilverMonk> ok im in that program
[07:21] <SilverMonk> what do i do there?
[07:21] <johnnybezak> have you rebooted since you installed it
[07:21] <FliesLikeALap> yes Johan666
[07:21] <FliesLikeALap> johnnybezak
[07:21] <yinepuhotep> Adjust the volume and mute settings and see what you get, SilverMonk
[07:22] <DShepherd> sudo apt-get build-dep <package> gives "E: Build-dependencies for <package> could not be satisfied." for any packages <-- How do I fix this problem? someone that can help.. your attention is welcome
[07:22] <johnnybezak> FliesLikeALap: i got that on a couple of installs and a reboot always worked.
[07:22] <FliesLikeALap> DShepherd have you done apt-get update recently?
[07:22] <SilverMonk> yeah they were already upto full
[07:22] <johnnybezak> FliesLikeALap: on diff. pcs
[07:22] <FliesLikeALap> I'll try that when it is convenient johnnybezak
[07:22] <Saimazoon> Hello
[07:22] <DShepherd> FliesLikeALap: yes i have. why do you ask?
[07:23] <SilverMonk> it says its a Realtek ALC883 if thats any help
[07:23] <Saimazoon> How can I add quicktime support for Xine or Totem in a standard ubuntu installation?
[07:23] <DShepherd> FliesLikeALap: doing another one just for the heck of it
[07:23] <sanmarcos> anybody use trac here?
[07:23] <achandra> hey all. I installed an upgrade for xorg-xserver and it hosed X on the next reboot ( No X)..any way to recover from this ?
[07:23] <NickGarvey> achandra: update again
[07:23] <DShepherd> FliesLikeALap: no change .... why do you ask?
[07:24] <FliesLikeALap> DShepherd it was just worth checking ;)
[07:24] <DShepherd> FliesLikeALap: oh.. thank you
[07:24] <achandra> NickGarvery: essentially apt-get update or??
[07:24] <DShepherd> gosh
[07:24] <FliesLikeALap> upgrade again achandra
[07:24] <dibblego> achandra, yes, the channel topic has more information
[07:24] <FliesLikeALap> that was a reported bug and should be fixed now
[07:24] <NickGarvey> achandra: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[07:25] <mainer> SilverMonk:   read this    http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202555
[07:25] <Jamin> alright  i have ubuntu and windows installed on the harddrive in seperate partitions. but when i boot it just goes straight to windows
[07:25] <Jamin> how do i get it to give me a choice/ how do i choose
[07:26] <FliesLikeALap> SilverMonk also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems if you haven't already
[07:26] <SilverMonk> ok i'll try those things
[07:26] <FliesLikeALap> Jamin  does it load the GRUB bootloader or go straight to windows?
[07:26] <Jamin> straight to win
[07:26] <FliesLikeALap> Jamin it sounds like perhaps something kept your ubuntu install from completing successfully, or you told it not to install the GRUB boot loader
[07:26] <Jamin> shoot
[07:27] <Jamin> i didnt tell it not to
[07:27] <thetictacaddict> can anyone recommend a mail checker for the gnome panel (with pop3 support, and gmail wouldn't hurt)?
[07:27] <Jamin> i dont remember telling it to
[07:27] <FliesLikeALap> it should have done it on its own
[07:27] <Jamin> ok see, maybe it was the fact that i installed windows second?
[07:27] <FliesLikeALap> yes that is
[07:27] <FliesLikeALap> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[07:27] <FliesLikeALap> see that
[07:27] <jpjacobs> thetictacaddict, gmail uses pop3...
[07:27] <Jamin> thankyou
[07:27] <thetictacaddict> yeah I know but some mail checkers have specific gmail support
[07:27] <achandra> Hi
[07:27] <FliesLikeALap> windows overwrites the bootloader without asking, so installing windows second will almost always overwrite GRUB
[07:28] <FliesLikeALap> hi achandra, if you need help please ask your question and we'll do the best to help you
[07:28] <achandra> The X-server problem is solved...thnx!
[07:28] <NickGarvey> s/almost always/always/
[07:28] <NickGarvey> achandra: :)
[07:28] <FliesLikeALap> ah achandra is the xorg one :-x
[07:28] <Lathiat>  /lastlog avahi 32
[07:28] <Lathiat>  /lastlog avahi 3
[07:28] <FliesLikeALap> should sleep soon, the Hi threw me off ;)
[07:28] <Lathiat> doh
[07:28] <dibblego> how do you open a terminal from nautilus at its current directory?
[07:28] <Madpilot> So is it safe to do that xorg update yet? Did it last night, it broke my X, had to revert... has the thing been fixed?
[07:28] <NickGarvey> maddler: yup
[07:28] <dibblego> Madpilot, yes
[07:28] <NickGarvey> Madpilot: yes
[07:28] <achandra> Now...im a little new to apt and dpkg...and ive manned and googled...what exaclty did the upgrade and update do??
[07:28] <achandra> I like to know... :)
[07:28] <rbman> Got a completely configured ubuntu running on drive (hd0,1)  (with (hd0,0) as swap) and a 2nd drive (hd1) with windows at position (hd1,0) that I want to dual boot using grub.  Using "grub> find /boot/grub/stage1" returns (hd0,1).  My /boot/grub/menu.lst is posted at http://www.phpriot.com/3671  Trying to boot windows shows that section of menu.lst file. Anyone have a work-around for this?
[07:29] !lilo:*! Too broad Tor exit node block, it's been rescinded.
[07:29] <FliesLikeALap> one update to xserver-xorg introduced a bug which was then fixed in another update achandra
[07:29] <trappist> achandra: update updated the lists of packages available from the repos, and upgrade downloaded and installed any upgradable packages.
[07:29] <Madpilot> good, thanks! dibblego, there's a package called nautilus-open-terminal or something similar that'll put "Open Terminal" on your right-click menu in Naut.
[07:29] <dibblego> Madpilot, cheers
[07:29] <achandra> lol....good...enough...
[07:30] <sanmarcos> anybody use trac here?, are there backports from edgy?. Serious security threats in dapper
[07:30] <crimsun> sanmarcos: that's being addressed.
[07:30] <achandra> now assuming a person does install a pakage...from command line...how do you query what is installed (im familiar with rpm -q ) but dpkg is another story or apt....and how do you unininstall it ..
[07:30] <achandra> ??
[07:30] <sanmarcos> crimsun: as in, there will be an update to the trac package for dapper?
[07:30] <crimsun> sanmarcos: in some fashion, yes.
[07:30] <sethk> achandra, apt-get install whatever
[07:30] <sethk> achandra, do man apt-get
[07:31] <dravas> I once had this aesome water thing for my desktop
[07:31] <achandra> right got the install part..
[07:31] <sanmarcos> crimsun: there better be. Thank you, Ill check the bts, or launchpad, whatever ubuntu calls it
[07:31] <FliesLikeALap> achandra uninstalling is apt-get remove <packagename>
[07:31] <achandra> but the query??
[07:31] <sethk> achandra, apt-get remove whatever
[07:31] <trappist> crimsun: what's the policy on security updates for universe?  they seem a bit slow
[07:31] <dravas> I once had this aesome water thing for my desktop does anyone know what it is
[07:31] <achandra> of packages installed that is??
[07:31] <CANADA> "The test of the swap space in partition #2 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) found uncorrected errors."               Whats that say to anyone during install
[07:31] <dravas> like a puddle on your desktop
[07:31] <dibblego> installed nautilus-open-terminal - I don't see anything on the right-click menu - where boots is it?
[07:31] <crimsun> trappist: there are no security updates at all for universe unless you do it yourself.
[07:31] <achandra> trappist: werent you a mdk user that worte some pretty cool firewall stuff?
[07:31] <dibblego> dravas, bad weather?
[07:31] <sethk> achandra, dpkg -l
[07:32] <trappist> crimsun: gotcha.
[07:32] <trappist> achandra: yeah that's me
[07:32] <dravas> hmm
[07:32] <sethk> CANADA, it found errors on an IDE drive, which should never happen
[07:32] <achandra> trappist: good to see you again...i used ipkungfu for the longest damn time....cannonball (todd) says hi too.
[07:32] <sethk> CANADA, IDE has intelligence to skip bad sectors,
[07:32] <CANADA> I dont have a ide drive :S
[07:33] <CANADA> sata
[07:33] <sethk> CANADA, same thing
[07:33] <achandra> thnx...for the help so far guys....much appreciated.. :)
[07:33] <sethk> CANADA, the drive, for whatever reason, can't do the correction thing
[07:33] <sethk> CANADA, typically because it is out of spare sectors
[07:33] <CANADA> Is there anyway I can correct it?
[07:33] <Madpilot> CANADA, can you change your nick so it's not ALL CAPS, please?
[07:33] <rbman> *sigh*
[07:34] <sethk> CANADA, try running badblocks on the disk, set to mark bad sectors
[07:34] <Madpilot> better. thank you.
[07:34] <jman8888> Does anybody here have kbfx...
[07:35] <Canada> Is badblocks built in on liveCD?
[07:35] <wweasel> I don't think nicks are case sensitive: I think you could have referenced him as "canada"
[07:35] <tulga> hi all. I tried apt-get dist-upgrade. but "Failed to fetch http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xorg-server/xserver-xorg-core_1.0.2-0ubuntu10.4_i386.deb  404 Not Found". howto solve it?
[07:35] <rbman> ...so nobody else in here running a dual boot windows/ubuntu system using grub with two separate drives, one for each os?
[07:35] <NickGarvey> tulga: try, "sudo apt-get update"
[07:36] <wweasel> rbman: I am not, but what is the issue?
[07:36] <wweasel> rbman: I dual boot using the same HD, but I have dual booted using different hard drives before.
[07:36] <AlexThunder> I was installing the P2P program, PySoulSeek, and I encoutered an error during installation.
[07:36] <AlexThunder> creating /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pysoulseek
[07:36] <AlexThunder> error: could not create '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pysoulseek': Permission denied
[07:36] <AlexThunder> can somebody tell me what to do to fix this?
[07:36] <NickGarvey> Alex: sudo?
[07:36] <rbman> wweasel, ok to pm with it so as not to crowd channel?  I just posted it a few minutes back in here.
[07:36] <jman8888> Can somebody help me with kbfx
[07:37] <tulga> NickGarvey: I tried update. successful updated. but error on upgrade
[07:37] <NickGarvey> tulga: when did you update?
[07:37] <tulga> 1 min ago
[07:37] <Kumasan> having read the bug page on the recent X upgrade issue with Dapper, is it safe now to upgrade? The fix has propogated out by now?
[07:37] <wweasel> rbman: Huh? I just started reading and I don't know what your question is.
[07:37] <wweasel> Kumasan: Yep, upgade now.
[07:37] <carthik> Kumasan, yes
[07:37] <FliesLikeALap> Kumasan see /topic
[07:37] <rbman> wweasel,  Got a completely configured ubuntu running on drive (hd0,1)  (with (hd0,0) as swap) and a 2nd drive (hd1) with windows at position (hd1,0) that I want to dual boot using grub.  Using "grub> find /boot/grub/stage1" returns (hd0,1).  My /boot/grub/menu.lst is posted at http://www.phpriot.com/3671  Trying to boot windows shows that section of menu.lst file. Anyone have a work-around for this?
[07:37] <Kumasan> wweasel: thanks.
[07:37] <SurfnKid> ls
[07:38] <Kumasan> FliesLikeALap: I did, hence the question. Thanks.
[07:38] <FliesLikeALap> Kumasan gotcha ;)
[07:38] <tulga> NickGarvey: can i change mirror?
[07:38] <NickGarvey> tulga: not sure
[07:39] <carthik> tulga, yes you can, look at wiki.ubuntu.com/archives
[07:39] <carthik> or Archive or some such for a list
[07:39] <Kumasan> FliesLikeALap: just wanted to make sure all was well, I hit the bug last night on a new install, and went ahead and did a reinstall rather than futz with it, as it was a fresh install anyway. Glad I can safely upgrade now :)
[07:39] <tulga> carthik: is it fix my problem?
[07:39] <DevGet> is there any cmd for searching in files?
[07:39] <Flannel> DevGet: grep
[07:39] <Kumasan> DevGet: grep, or use beagle
[07:40] <OsirisX11> if i have a k7 kernel what package do i need to get the source?
[07:40] <carthik> tulga, if you are getting errors on upgrade and arent sure, use the main mirror, the archive.ubuntu.com one in your sources.list
[07:40] <carthik> OsirisX11, linux-source-k7 will get you the latest
[07:40] <Canada> Where would I find badblocks?
[07:40] <carthik> Canada, on a bad hard drive?
[07:40] <DevGet> ok, well, it's on a server, so no beagle
[07:41] <wweasel> rbman: I really don't know. When I did it, a while ago, with 2 HDs it was my first time every using Ubuntu and it worked right out of the box. To be honest, I am suprised yours isn't.
[07:41] <OsirisX11> carthik: no matches
[07:41] <AlexThunder> I'm having troubles installing the P2P client, PySoulSeek, and during installation, I'm getting a an error message taht reads: creating /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pysoulseek
[07:41] <AlexThunder> error: could not create '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pysoulseek': Permission denied
[07:41] <NickGarvey> AlexThunder: : sudo
[07:41] <AlexThunder> What do I do to fix it?
[07:41] <NickGarvey> AlexThunder: put sudo in front of your command
[07:41] <AlexThunder> k
[07:41] <rbman> wweasel, the problem is that the ubuntu drive was installed without the windows drive being present on the machine at the time.  I'm trying to add it.
[07:41] <[2] mag> hi guys, is there a way to keep a process alive if my SSH disconnects, AFTER my process was started already
[07:42] <AlexThunder> Nick, thankyou
[07:42] <OsirisX11> [2] mag: see screen
[07:42] <dravas> dow anyone know how to start x desktop waves
[07:42] <Kumasan> Dang, I am at the hotel, for worldcon, and the "broadband" absolutely sucks. I get better bw at home.
[07:42] <OsirisX11> [2] mag: also see nohup
[07:42] <wweasel> rbman: You could try going through the steps to recover GRUB.
[07:42] <wweasel> !grub
[07:42] <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
[07:42] <SurfnKid> guys where is the mozilla installed on ubuntu dapper? what path
[07:42] <carthik> OsirisX11, true - well, are you trying to install something that says you need the source? then you can try the linux-headers-k7 package instead.
[07:42] <NickGarvey> SurfnKid: do you mean firefox?
[07:43] <OsirisX11> thank you carthik
[07:43] <SurfnKid> NickGarvey, yep
[07:43] <dravas> dow anyone know how to start x desktop waves
[07:43] <NickGarvey> SurfnKid: "which firefox" will show you
[07:43] <SurfnKid> NickGarvey, installing flash but asks for a path, i put /usr/bin but it doesnt accept it
[07:43] <OsirisX11> carthik: i am installing parallels, it says it wants the source
[07:43] <[2] mag> i know screen, he problem is that I've started my process already (as of right now, it's a RAID5 expand and will take 15h), how can I keep that process alive (which is currently running in the forground)
[07:43] <carthik> OsirisX11, use apt-cache search linux | grep k7 to see list
[07:43] <OsirisX11> carthik: where do i put that in synaptic? ;)
[07:43] <carthik> OsirisX11, mostly, only the headers are required (to know various things...)
[07:43] <wweasel> rbman: I am sure you could fix it just by playing around in your menu.lst, but it looks good to me.
[07:44] <OsirisX11> carthik: why do they want the headers? is uname not good enough for it?
[07:44] <wweasel> rbman: I don't see what's wrong with your current menu.lst. And I'd imagine "recovering" grub might do it for you.
[07:44] <carthik> OsirisX11, you can use that command from the terminal's command prompt. In synaptic, search for linux k7 in "name and description"
[07:44] <Flannel> [2] mag: stop it (ctrl-Z)  then use bg to restart it in the background
[07:44] <carthik> OsirisX11, no, they might need more details, such are things :)
[07:44] <Flannel> [2] mag: http://www.tdl.com/~netex/linux-doc-project/install-guide/node136.html
[07:44] <OsirisX11> [2] mag: ctrl-z will give you a number for the process, give that number to bg
[07:45] <thetictacaddict> rbman, maybe try adding two lines, "map (hd0) (hd1)" and "map (hd1) (hd0)" before chainloader +1 ?
[07:46] <achandra> anyone installed XEN successfully ? and can comment on performance, etc?
[07:47] <OsirisX11> has anyone gotten TVUPlayer to work? :(
[07:49] <dibblego> how do I mount a USB hard disk case?
[07:49] <dibblego> is it a device under /dev ?
[07:49] <carthik> dibblego, it should "just mount"
[07:50] <dibblego> carthik, what if it doesn't?
[07:50] <carthik> dibblego, you can use dmesg to find out if it was detected and mounted
[07:50] <dibblego> righto
[07:50] <carthik> dibblego, if you know it is /dev/sda1 (for example) then you can do a pmount /dev/sda1
[07:51] <carthik> dibblego, the lines in the output of dmesg will tell you what happened and what /dev/ node/device was created
[07:51] <dibblego> ok thanks
[07:51] <Ademan> are there any multilanguage gtk based IDEs?
[07:52] <meathead_> anyone want to advise a VM program?
[07:52] <meathead_> I apt-get installed vmware-player, but I guess I can't install a virtual machine with it
[07:53] <carthik> vmware-player is to play the virtual machine images you can download, meathead_ not sure what exactly you want to do, though
[07:53] <meathead_> I want to run windows on linux
[07:53] <Jbirk> where can I find palisten?
[07:53] <meathead_> I thought that's what vmware did
[07:53] <lix> Hi. I've got troubles using my "Omnikey Cardman 4040" pcmcia Card. I think the problem ist somewhere in pcsclite or udev. Can somebody help?
[07:54] <Saimazoon> How can I add quicktime format support to Totem or Gxine ?
[07:54] <Saimazoon> I have no idea about how can I do this
[07:54] <Jbirk> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[07:54] <peanutb> Saimazoon, both
[07:55] <Jbirk> How can I prevent shorewall from automatically starting up?
[07:55] <peanutb> see jbrik
[07:55] <Jbirk> or allow ssh to my box?
[07:55] <Keltor> I have a computer that i'd like to install ubuntu to, but i has a nvidia card that doesn't work with the nv driver ... is there a way i can make the installer use the vesa driver?
[07:56] <meathead_> carthik: no? i'm wrong?
[07:56] <meathead_> carthik: or did you just leave
[07:56] <Rozi> Jbirk: edit /etc/shorewall/rules add SSH/ACCEPT  net  $FW
[07:56] <NickGarvey> meathead_: try vmware server
[07:57] <meathead_> NickGarvey: that in synaptic?
[07:57] <NickGarvey> meathead_: nope
[07:57] <[2] mag> Flannel, OsirisX11: Problem: while the suspend works, the bg doesn't work, it basically stops the process right away again, it behaves just like top, which i can't bg either after stopping it
[07:57] <NickGarvey> meathead_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingVMWare
[07:58] <meathead_> I see
[07:58] <[2] mag> and i can't stop it and then start it again from screen
[07:58] <meathead_> I really don't want to go through all that just to be able to burn cds
[07:58] <meathead_> but my cd/dvd burner burns cds that won't work
[07:58] <meathead_> and dvds
[07:58] <Jbirk> I recomend you open a terminal window and copy and paste
[07:58] <manji> hey, so i have an Nvidia card. i installed dapper tonite, then installed the nvidia-glx package, then ran `nvidia-glx-config enable`. X now doesnt work
[07:58] <bs_1975> im curious about how to install ebuntu os system on my windows xp home compaq presario amd sempron pc?
[07:58] <Jbirk> just installl all the restricted formats
[07:59] <haboy_> can someone give me a good sound editor application
[07:59] <meathead_> they work in music cd players, but I can't read them from the same drive
[07:59] <carthik> meathead_, I'm sorry - for that you have to create a vmware image first - you can search the wiki/web for details
[07:59] <Jbirk> that way everythign starts working in a hurry
[07:59] <Jbirk> audacity
[07:59] <Jbirk> halboy_: audacity
[07:59] <[2] mag> haboy_: Audacity
[07:59] <carthik> meathead_, the player just plays images - the images are assumed to be there already
[07:59] <Voting> Does anyone here use VNC over SSH? I could use a hand w/ this!
[07:59] <meathead_> okay
[08:00] <meathead_> carthik: I already got that from NickGarvey
[08:00] <Jbirk> Voting, I have done this before
[08:00] <Jbirk> but it has been a while
[08:00] <Jbirk> and I did it with Windows nto Linux
[08:00] <Voting> Jbirk, could you join me in #vncssh for a sec?
[08:00] <Jbirk> Sure
[08:00] <carthik> meathead_, sorry for the repetition then - cant follow what everyone is saying to everyone else :)
[08:00] <Voting> Right, I want to connect a windows box running VNC viewer to a linux server
[08:01] <[2] mag> OsirisX11: I can't bg the process
[08:01] <[2] mag> OsirisX11: just like bging top or vi doesn't work
[08:01] <haboy_> [2] mag: is there a downloadable package of it? i dont want to use sudo apt-get install command
[08:02] <[2] mag> hayboy-: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/linux
[08:02] <[2] mag> pick your poison
[08:02] <Madpilot> haboy_, why not use apt-get or Synaptic? It's far easier to install stuff that way...
[08:03] <[2] mag> haboy_: I agree
[08:03] <jman8888> How can i make my Desktop icons Smaller (They're like huge)
[08:04] <haboy_> [2] mag: i'm just in a cafe. i'm not using my computer. my computer at home doesnt have access to internet. anyway. i think i could install it easily cause i'm using dapper drake
[08:04] <manji> hey, so whats this message about X being broken after a recent update?
[08:04] <naa> hmm
[08:04] <naa> question
[08:04] <carthik> jman8888, try changing your screen resolution to the highest allowed by the display
[08:04] <meathead_> haha
[08:04] <naa> I just downloaded and installed xfce, not sure what to do next to use it though
[08:04] <meathead_> no
[08:04] <meathead_> don't turn up your whole resolution just because ONE thing is too big
[08:05] <meathead_> it'll make everything marginally smaller
[08:05] <peanutb> haboy_, you could just download the deb package
[08:05] <carthik> naa if you want an xfce based desktop, try installing xubuntu-desktop, and then logout of GNOME. Then you can choose the xfce session when logging in (before entering the username and password)
[08:05] <haboy_> peanutb: can you give me the link please
[08:06] <jman8888> carthik, How to i change resolution...
[08:06] <thebishop> what package do i have to install to stream my itunes library in rhythmbox?
[08:06] <carthik> !resolution > jman8888
[08:07] <peanutb> http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/sound/audacity has the main package but you might want to get a few codecs also
[08:07] <lumgwada> thebishop: try vlc I seem to have better luck with that app
[08:08] <lumgwada> thebishop: without rummaging around for extra codecs... it seemed to work out of the box
[08:08] <jman8888> carthik, So its done in command line
[08:08] <jman8888> ?
[08:08] <thebishop> not codecs, i mean Bonjour/Rendezvou
[08:08] <carthik> jman8888, part of it may have to be done that way. You can check in system->preferences->screen resolution if you like first.
[08:09] <meathead_> can someone help me properly install my cdrom?
[08:09] <slid3r> does anyone else notice/miss/want the fact that if you highlight in a term, it does not auto copy?
[08:09] <meathead_> it's not working correctly
[08:09] <carthik> thebishop, install avahi-daemon
[08:09] <damo22> whatwhats the best kernel for low latency audio? ive tried ingos patchset 2.6.16-rt29, but rosegarden sequencer crashes after a few midi events :/
[08:10] <carthik> thebishop, that is to stream the music in rhythmbox to the network - you may also want to see what avahi-utils does for you
[08:10] <thebishop> thanks Carhik
[08:11] <otroean> Hi I'm trying to connect to www.logmein.com but when i choose to connect to one of the computers firefox responds "Cannot find server".  It works perfectly from other computers
[08:12] <meathead_> is there anyone here who isn't a noobie who can help me?
[08:12] <MorphDK> meathead_, that depends :)
[08:12] <burhan> meathead_: with what?
[08:12] <Hazarath> Ok, need help installing _any_ MUCK clients... preferably with a GUI.
[08:13] <meathead_> my dvd drive. when I burn a data cd or dvd with it, and try to read from that cd, it doesn't work!
[08:13] <meathead_> the information appears to burn correctly
[08:14] <meathead_> it's reading the disc that's the problem
[08:14] <richiefrich> how are u burning it
[08:14] <richiefrich> and what are u burning ?/
[08:14] <meathead_> my fstab has an entry for a /dev/cdrom0
[08:14] <richiefrich> all data ?
[08:14] <Madpilot> meathead_, do the CDs/DVDs burnt from it work on other drives?
[08:14] <KenSentMe> Does anyone know a program what i can use to make a snapshot of a video?
[08:14] <Schalken> how do i mount my ubuntu drive from the livecd?
[08:14] <meathead_> I tried to burn an iso of a dvd, an iso of a cd, using gnomebaker and nerolinux
[08:14] <Schalken> KenSentMe: totem does that.
[08:14] <richiefrich> Schalken open a termail
[08:15] <meathead_> Madpilot: I don't have another drive to test it on
[08:15] <Hazarath> Any help fer the dragon?
[08:15] <Hazarath> lol
[08:15] <Schalken> richiefrich: yep...
[08:15] <meathead_> but it seems like nothing can be read from my drive
[08:15] <tj_> hello...
[08:15] <slid3r> so ... is that a product of the gnome wm that it does not auto copy upon highlighting in terms?
[08:15] <Madpilot> meathead_, do 'real' (pressed) CDs or DVDs work in the drive?
[08:15] <richiefrich> Schalken then mount it.. i dont know what your partitions are
[08:15] <tj9991> a challenger appears
[08:15] <Madpilot> slid3r, it does for me...
[08:15] <richiefrich> Schalken tell me and where u want them  mounted and ill tell u
[08:15] <KenSentMe> Schalken: problem is that Totem can't play my movie and Mplayer can
[08:16] <meathead_> Madpilot: how do you mount a cd if your fstab only has an entry for /dev/cdrom0 and when you type mount /dev/cdrom0 it says device cannot be found?
[08:16] <slid3r> weird I have to right click then click copy
[08:16] <carthik> slid3r, could you be more clear?
[08:16] <richiefrich> KenSentMe totem sucks :P
[08:16] <Schalken> richiefrich: how do i mount it? its at /dev/sda2, ill make a folder in /media/ubuntu to mount it to
[08:16] <cllamb1x> so, is there a way to revert X to it's install state/config files?
[08:16] <slid3r> which is all kindsa backwards for me
[08:16] <alienseer23> is there a media player for linux that has as good as a library, and media lookup as windows media, and as nice a visualization tool as the g-force audio-viz ap?
[08:16] <Hazarath> Ok, need help installing _any_ MUCK clients... preferably with a GUI.
[08:16] <meathead_> doing it through gnome gives me errors about different drives being mounted in the same place and whatnot, but I only have one drive
[08:16] <richiefrich> Schalken mount /dev/sda2 /media/ubuntu
[08:16] <richiefrich> Schalken idk if u need sudo
[08:16] <carthik> slid3r if by "terms" you mean terminal, then Ctrl+c has a different meaning for the terminal, thats why
[08:16] <Madpilot> meathead_, no idea, I've actually never had to mount a CDROM drive via command line...
[08:17] <meathead_> how do you mount cd roms?
[08:17] <Hazarath> Lemme re-enstate my problem... need help installing a .gz type package.
[08:17] <carthik> Hazarath, I guess no one understands what "MUCK" is, or no one knows the answer
[08:17] <slid3r> carthik: in days of yore .. highlighting text in a terminal was sufficient to copy iy
[08:17] <Schalken> richiefrich: that worked! thanks man, (yeah i needed sudo)
[08:17] <slid3r> it
[08:17] <slid3r> nothing else required
[08:17] <richiefrich> Schalken ok then
[08:17] <meathead_> !compile source
[08:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about compile source - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:17] <carthik> slid3r, still is, you can use the middle click on the mouse  to paste it somewhere else
[08:17] <Madpilot> slid3r, highlight & right-click-copy still works from gnome terminal here...
[08:18] <Hazarath> carthik, I need help installing a .gz package.
[08:18] <cllamb1x> can someone help me out with my video card problem?
[08:18] <richiefrich> Schalken i didnt know if u needed it cause do they tell u the password on the liveCD.. i didnt know they did
[08:18] <meathead_> like I said before, is anyone here who isn't a noobie to help?
[08:18] <carthik> Hazarath, what does that have to with MUCK ? anyways, so what is the problem you are facing?
[08:18] <slid3r> well then
[08:18] <jman8888> How do i install and use a compiz Theme?
[08:18] <tj_> Sorry to disturb but does anybody know how to install QQ in ubuntu'?
[08:18] <carthik> cllamb1x, someone could if you asked :)
[08:18] <slid3r> I sit corrected, and grateful
[08:18] <cllamb1x> carthik: sorry, i have asked a couple times, lol
[08:19] <carthik> slid3r, that one had me for some time too...
[08:19] <Hazarath> carthik, I just need ti install the said app, but it doesn't come in .deb, only .gz
[08:19] <carthik> cllamb1x, if you are having xorg problems, then maybe an apt-get upgrade will get the latest fixed version and do it for you
[08:19] <Schalken> richiefrich: yeah sudo doesnt ask u for a password thats all
[08:19] <tj_> Sorry to disturb but does anybody know how to install QQ in ubuntu'?
[08:20] <cllamb1x> basically, i installed dapper tonite, configured a binch of basics, including nvidia-glx package (i have nvidia card). i resart X after everything, and it seems ubuntu thinks i have an ATI card, and X cant start
[08:20] <cllamb1x> but, getting latest version should fix?
[08:20] <otroean> Are there any built in firewall i ubuntu. Have tried to install firestarter and disabled that. It seems that a firewall i blocking my secure loggin to www.logmein.com
[08:20] <carthik> Hazarath, you might have to compile it from source, then, tar -zxvf whatever.tar.gz will untar-gz it, and then there should be a README or INSTALL file that tell you what to do from there on
[08:20] <thebishop> carthik, i installed avahi and utils, and rhythmbox doesn't find my itunes library
[08:20] <carthik> cllamb1x, try it out, if it fails, then take it from there
[08:21] <slid3r> thx again all, night
[08:21] <carthik> thebishop, is your itunes set to "share" freely :)
[08:21] <thebishop> carthik, yep
[08:21] <Lathiat> thebishop: dapper?
[08:21] <thebishop> yep
[08:21] <KenSentMe> Does anyone know where the screenshots are saved that i made with mplayer?
[08:21] <Lathiat> thebishop: run 'avahi-discover'
[08:21] <Lathiat> (in the avahi-discover package)
[08:21] <Lathiat> see if it appears in there
[08:21] <thebishop> just my local stuff
[08:22] <Lathiat> sounds like your itunes isnt advertising then
[08:22] <thebishop> its set to share
[08:22] <Lathiat> have you used the itunes sharing before
[08:22] <Lathiat> e.g. know its on?
[08:22] <Hazarath> carthik, Lemme try a few things, sorry... *ish a Windows convert*
[08:22] <thebishop> it shows up in my OSX box
[08:22] <carthik> I dunno if it is different for sharing between rhythmboxes Vs. sharing between itunes and rhythmbox
[08:22] <cllamb1x> carthik: okay then, xorg is already latest version
[08:22] <thebishop> yea i've used sharing many times before
[08:22] <Lathiat> thebishop: is the itunes your trying to browse a windows or mac?
[08:23] <Lathiat> thebishop: what network/wireless card in the linux machien?
[08:23] <thebishop> and i have my windows box open in RTS so i can change settings easily
[08:23] <thebishop> broadcom 4318 via ndiswrapper
[08:23] <Lathiat> ahh
[08:23] <Lathiat> theres your problem
[08:23] <Lathiat> ndiswrapper doesnt support multicast
[08:23] <thebishop> other network stuff works find
[08:23] <Lathiat> and thus not avahi
[08:23] <thebishop> *fine
[08:23] <carthik> Hazarath, not a problem - often you just have to try rephrasing the question in imaginative ways :) good luck.
[08:23] <Lathiat> you could try the following two things:
[08:23] <thebishop> ethernet
[08:23] <Lathiat> ifconfig <interface> ALLMULTI / or ifconfig <interface> PROMISC
[08:24] <Lathiat> where <interface> is probably eth1
[08:24] <mgm> help
[08:24] <Lathiat> but iirc ndiswrapper doesnt work well at all for that
[08:24] <carthik> thebishop, I have the same chip on a laptop and it didn't work for me too :) (if that is any solace) but I have seen Lathiat's recommendation on a couple of webpages.
[08:24] <Lathiat> yeh its an ndiswrapper thing
[08:24] <Lathiat> unfortunately
[08:25] <Hazarath> carthik, Think I'm just gonna use Wine, and run the Windows client like I'm used to. XD
[08:25] <carthik> Hazarath, what did the INSTALL or README say?
[08:25] <Lathiat> if you used etherne it would probably work
[08:25] <carthik> dont paste it here, Hazarath, just give us the gist
[08:25] <Lathiat> or a different wireless chip
[08:25] <rredd4> how can I disable the xserver-xorg-core update. (I do not want to see the little icon that tells me I have an update to install)  I do not want to install it, as I read the launchpad site and i have nvidia.
[08:25] <Lathiat> rredd4: I beleive that is fixed now
[08:25] <Lathiat> rredd4: what version is it trying to install?
[08:25] <Hazarath> carthik, I'm just gonna try to use the client I know how to work... dirrent MUCK clients can be... annying.
[08:26] <carthik> rredd4, should be fixed, else you can use synaptic to "pin" the package to the version you are using now.
[08:26] <Lathiat> if its 10.3 that one worked here
[08:26] <rredd4> Lathiat no version #, using update manager
[08:26] <cllamb1x> okay, so when starting X, it errors out, saying "NVIDIA: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:0) found"
[08:26] <Lathiat> update manager tells you
[08:26] <Lathiat> if you click on it
[08:26] <Lathiat> iirc
[08:27] <Hazarath> carthik, I'm gonna try my own... unless ya wanna look at the page... I'm pretty much annoyed at the prosses right now.
[08:27] <thebishop> good call Lathiat, plugging in ethernet worked
[08:27] <Lathiat> if you goto 'Show updates'
[08:27] <cllamb1x> any ideas with that warning?
[08:27] <Lathiat> thebishop: yeh, unfortunately ndiswrapper doesnt work with avahi sorry
[08:27] <Lathiat> thebishop: did the ALLMULTI or PROMISC help?
[08:27] <Lathiat> (on wireless)
[08:27] <thebishop> i didn't try them yet
[08:27] <Lathiat> ok please let me know if that works for you
[08:27] <thebishop> any chance 4318 will work with bcm43xx any time soon?
[08:27] <carthik> thebishop, just curious, do your have an AMD64 laptop?
[08:28] <thebishop> no celeron-m
[08:28] <KenSentMe> Does anyone know where the screenshots are saved that i made with mplayer?
[08:28] <rredd4> Lathiat  still do not see it after clicking on it... I am in kubuntu now... switch to ubuntu?
[08:28] <coLD> hello! I need some help if anyone has the time?
[08:28] <meathead_> i would REALLY be happy right now if this install didn't SUCK so bad that I couldn't pirate a version of XP and just INSTALL it
[08:28] <Lathiat> rredd4: Oh sorry I'm not sure about kubuntus update manager
[08:28] <carthik> thebishop, ah! 4318 works with bcm43xx if you fight a little, there is a wiki page that describes how exactly
[08:28] <Lathiat> but i assume the adept one would show the version similarly
[08:28] <haboy_> can someone give me a link of a realplayer for linux. debian package
[08:28] <rredd4> nope
[08:28] <thebishop> carthik, you mean firmwarecutter?
[08:29] <Flannel> !tell haboy_ about realplayer
[08:29] <rredd4> I will go into ubuntu... brb
[08:29] <carthik> thebishop, and all that, yes
[08:29] <carthik> !realplayer

[08:31] <carthik> voodoo, please don't recommend hammers to swat flies :)
[08:31] <thebishop> carthik, wanna link me up?
[08:31] <haboy_> carthik: i'm still using breezy
[08:31] <voodoo> cold u have to rollback your xserver the recent update breaks X
[08:31] <coLD> i didnt even realise there was a substantial update
[08:31] <cllamb1x> okay so in my xorg.conf, it has a Device section, with device label "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] ". i have an nvidia 6800, why does it say this?
[08:31] <carthik> thebishop, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper
[08:32] <coLD> voodoo i have yet to need to do this how do i go about rolling back my xserver

[08:32] <rredd4> Lathiat  its 10.4
[08:33] <redblades> Hi all, I'm in a kinda desperate situation...
[08:33] <Hazarath> carthik, Can I PM you?
[08:33] <Lathiat> rredd4: thats fixed
[08:33] <Lathiat> rredd4: should be safe to upgrade
[08:33] <rredd4> ok  ty
[08:33] <rredd4> should be...?
[08:33] <rredd4> hmmm
[08:33] <carthik> Hazarath, sure
[08:33] <wweasel> Could someone give me a concise way to explain the idea of symbolic links to a Windows user?
[08:34] <redblades> I turned on my computer, to find that (kubuntu) freezes when it gets to the boot screen (the one listing stuff about loading drivers, etc)
[08:34] <carthik> rredd4, First make sure that your mirror have the new version, to do that please do "sudo apt-get update" than do "apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-core" and make sure candidate is version 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu10.4.
[08:34] <NickGarvey> redblades: what else does it say?
[08:34] <Stormzoeker> goodmorning everyone ;)
[08:34] <cllamb1x> wweasel: windows shortcuts, on steroids

[08:40] <NickGarvey> redblades: mm.. this will be fun
[08:40] <NickGarvey> redblades: mount your ubuntu partition, and tell me where you mount it
[08:40] <martianpenguin> is it safe to do the xserver upgrade if we had that prblem earlier?
[08:41] <martianpenguin> is it fixed now?
[08:41] <NickGarvey> martianpenguin: yup
[08:41] <martianpenguin> k

[08:44] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[08:44] <on> just dist-upgrade
[08:45] <rredd4> I guess it pays to come in here first before doing upgrades!!!
[08:45] <on> what happend how can day send such a bad patch and then say urgency is low this flaw?
[08:45] <peace-keeper> it was one of those automatic updates that just pop up
[08:45] <peace-keeper> then after installing, ubuntu crashed and after reboot the X server won't start :(
[08:46] <NickGarvey> peace-keeper: please run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[08:46] <peace-keeper> okay i try it, thanks
[08:46] <rredd4> peace-keeper  it works!
[08:46] <peace-keeper> yeah it's downloading xserver-xorg-core, sounds good :D
[08:46] <NickGarvey> :)
[08:47] <on> this will turn a lot off people away from GNU/Linux
[08:47] <rredd4> does ubuntu update manager do a apt-get update before it downloads the updates?  (i notice that Adept does)
[08:47] <UpMarc> please... I'm new to this and had problems with xserver :-(
[08:47] <NickGarvey> rredd4: yeah, thats how it knows that it needs new ones :)
[08:47] <johnnybezak> have you guys seen that google is doing spread sheets now wtf?
[08:47] <NickGarvey> UpMarc: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[08:47] <UpMarc> where can I find instructions to fix it up?
[08:48] <NickGarvey> johnnybezak: and word processing
[08:48] <UpMarc> NickGarvey: Thank you
[08:48] <on> UpMarc: just type apt-get update    apt-get dist-upgrade
[08:48] <rredd4> NickGarvery  so it does that in the background
[08:48] <NickGarvey> on: I don't think its a distupgrade
[08:48] <NickGarvey> rredd4: yes
[08:48] <redblades> NickGarvey THANKS!
[08:48] <redblades> It works now
[08:48] <NickGarvey> redblades: :)
[08:49] <redblades> I'll be back in X!!!
[08:49] <johnnybezak> NickGarvey: did they just buy someone or make that from scratch
[08:49] <MegaLondon> what do I do to fix xorg and get update after the command: apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-core ?
[08:50] <rredd4> maybe someone should add the instructions for the x problem to the bot...
[08:50] <weasel|BRB> it is
[08:50] <wweasel> !xorgbug
[08:50] <ubotu> If X is broken after a recent update you can upgrade (i386 - see '/msg ubotu xorgbugfix') or downgrade ('/msg ubotu xorgbugfix-amd64' or '/msg ubotu xorgbugfix-ppc')

[08:50] <johnnybezak> sk1dge: sudo nano nameoffile

[08:51] <sk1dge> and where do i put the location?  just like "sudo gedit /etc/nameoffile" ?
[08:52] <wweasel> johnnybezak: most new people prefer the GUI solution.

[09:02] <NickGarvey> thanqol_: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[09:03] <thanqol_> I'm off a live CD. Would that work?
[09:03] <NickGarvey> thanqol_: oh, is that problem with the live cd?
[09:03] <thanqol_> No, with my actual boot.
[09:03] <NickGarvey> thanqol_: did it say "no screens available"?
[09:03] <drewfus_> thanqol, i think you just got the new update bug
[09:03] <drewfus_> here is how i fixed it
[09:04] <thanqol_> Ah, that'd be it.
[09:04] <thanqol_> I downloaded a new update last night.

[09:05] <UpMarc> NickGarvey: commands didn't work... message:"Unable to lock the administration directory (var/lib/dpkg), are you root?"
[09:05] <NickGarvey> UpMarc: try sudo
[09:05] <NickGarvey> UpMarc: and close synaptic and such
[09:05] <Schalken> ubotu xorgbugfix
[09:05] <ubotu> The fixed xserver-xorg-core packages has been uploaded. It is now safe to upgrade the system. First make sure that your mirror have the new version, to do that please do "sudo apt-get update" than do "apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-core" and make sure candidate is version 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu10.4.
[09:05] <UpMarc> idid first with sudo as you recommended... then without
[09:05] <Schalken> hmmm
[09:05] <NickGarvey> UpMarc: you will need to use sudo
[09:06] <thanqol_> Ah okies.
[09:06] <skdanil> hi
[09:06] <thanqol_> So sudo apt-get update then apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-core?
[09:06] <UpMarc> NickGarvey: I'm too new to this.... what is synaptic? there was nothing but the prompt: "marc@marc-desktop:/$"
[09:07] <skdanil> halooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[09:07] <UpMarc> just black screen and prompt
[09:07] <Goshawk> hi

[09:08] <drewfus_> here is what fixed the xserver problem for me
[09:08] <skdanil> help me
[09:08] <UpMarc> sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[09:08] <drewfus_> log into terminal (ctrl + alt + f1)  run  sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core=1:1.0.2-0ubuntu10
[09:08] <NickGarvey> UpMarc: oh I'm sorry, sudo apt-get upgrade
[09:08] <NickGarvey> UpMarc: run that command
[09:08] <skdanil> id like to learn this
[09:09] <drewfus_> what in the update caused all these problems?
[09:09] <MegaLondon> Alright! Kind of annoing now!  Ran apt-get upgrade..it sees the xcore upgrade available but is unable to fetch the archives
[09:09] <drewfus_> anyone know?
[09:09] <UpMarc> NickGarvey: just "sudo apt-get upgrade"?
[09:09] <NickGarvey> UpMarc: yes
[09:09] <UpMarc> ok... ty
[09:09] <NickGarvey> MegaLondon: sudo?
[09:09] <birdbrain> some mirrors may not have the packages yet
[09:09] <MegaLondon> yes
[09:09] <dazvid> Does anyone know a good alternative to a graphical spice program for ubuntu?
[09:10] <MegaLondon> so where do I find the update?
[09:10] <nodeps> lo
[09:10] <birdbrain> i would downgrade until it is on your mirror
[09:10] <nodeps> is there a way to prevent ubuntu from adding my router's ip as a dns search suffix in /etc/resolv.conf
[09:10] <nodeps> everytime i boot the machine or bring up the network it changes my /etc/resolv.conf
[09:10] <trygg> Is there some apt-getable front-end for top?
[09:11] <YeTr2> what tools are there for burning cdroms with mdf/mds images?
[09:11] <Flannel> trygg: system-monitor (or whatever) is a frontend already installed, its like task manager on windows
[09:12] <MegaLondon> Where can I can I get the xserver-xorg-core upgrade packages?
[09:12] <coLD> hey guys i had a question i know the update was bad and all and prevents xserver from starting or whatever
[09:12] <trygg> Flannel: Good stuff. I remember gtop which i kinda liked but i guess this will do. Thx. ;)
[09:12] <tranquil> iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[09:16] <Schalken> coLD: (the fixed ones from people.ubuntu.com)
[09:17] <UpMarc> NickGarvey: just came to thank you again.... I'm back to Ubuntu :-)

[09:26] <ashik> Madpilot: sorry
[09:26] <birdbrain> wozniak: is this only for firefox?
[09:26] <wozniak> if ctrl-alt backspace does work what do i do after that
[09:26] <coLD> hi guys back again
[09:26] <wozniak> so far, it has done it before with gaim and evolution
[09:26] <birdbrain> wozniak: hopefully login, but possibly reboot, ctrl-alt-delete
[09:26] <wozniak> ok
[09:26] <wozniak> ill try it
[09:27] <birdbrain> wozniak: just help diagnose it thats all, isolate what is causing probs
[09:27] <operative> wozniak: if it freezes up again, try hitting the numlock and caps lock buttons, they wont do any unlocking but, if they come on, it tends to mean somewhere in the bowls of your computer there is a flicker of life, if that works the ctrl-alt backspace might, you see what these good people are thinking is that X is locking up, not your whole box
[09:27] <peter1984> No one who knows how to lock gnome?
[09:27] <sk1dge> hi again,, i think i have another quick one.. has anyone done the WoW setup thing on this page?  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=120615
[09:27] <operative> peter1984: a decent permissions setup
[09:27] <Goshawk> peter1984: i know how to lock icons and applets
[09:27] <coLD> once  again i have booted into terminal and used the command sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core=1:1.0.2-0ubuntu10 and it doesnt seem to be fixing my problem
[09:28] <Madpilot> peter1984, what do you mean by "lock Gnome"?
[09:28] <ashik> I am looking for localization of one software
[09:28] <Goshawk> peter1984: but people are still able to remove them
[09:28] <birdbrain> coLD: try  dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:28] <peter1984> madpilot: The user should not be able to touch anything
[09:28] <ashik> In launchpad I can view only few lines for translation
[09:28] <peter1984> Not changing the icons, menus and so on
[09:28] <coLD> ok brb
[09:29] <ashik> Is there any way to get all those lines as text file?
[09:29] <operative> again peter1984 all you need to do is read a decent guide to setting up permissions
[09:29] <operative> wb wozniak
[09:30] <wozniak> thanks
[09:30] <peter1984> Even if i set the perms, they would still be able to change some things, related to their user. And i dont want that:-)
[09:30] <wozniak> ctrl-alt-backspace did not work
[09:30] <wozniak> keyboard is nonreposnsive
[09:30] <wozniak> *sp
[09:30] <birdbrain> wozniak: does this only happen with firefox
[09:30] <wozniak> right now it is happening only with firefox
[09:30] <ashik> In launchpad I can view only few lines for translation
[09:30] <ashik> Is there any way to get all those lines as text file?
[09:30] <wozniak> in the past it has happened with evolution mail, and gaim
[09:30] <peter1984> asnik: u want to translate?
[09:30] <birdbrain> wozniak: try running it from the command line, so you can do ctrl-c to kill it if it fails
[09:31] <operative> peter1984: assuming that the gnome session they were in was running off personalised configs, running off a group permission set for example would fix your problem
[09:31] <birdbrain> is it eating up a lot of memory?
[09:31] <ashik> peter:yes
[09:31] <WarOfAttrition> peter1984, make the whole home folder of the user read only perhaps?
[09:31] <peter1984> Then they cant save docs
[09:31] <operative> well then you make there docs folder +w
[09:31] <peter1984> operative: ill look in to that
[09:31] <wozniak> im not sure
[09:31] <ppcguy> hey all.. borked my xerver.. it's dpgk.. xserver? To fix?
[09:31] <WarOfAttrition> Separate a folder that has write permissions
[09:31] <wozniak> has anyone else heard of this prolem or had it before?
[09:31] <operative> peter1984: please go and read a chmod guide :)
[09:32] <operative> wozniak: had similar
[09:32] <otroean_> How can i install grub after installing windows. 1. installed Ubuntu with grub - 2. installed win xp. No Grub loader is gone.
[09:32] <wozniak> how did you fix it, if you did
[09:32] <NickGarvey> !grub > otroean
[09:32] <wozniak> im not really sure what the exact problem is
[09:32] <birdbrain> wozniak: have you got any firefox plugins install or is it a default install
[09:32] <otroean_> NickGarvey: Where can i write !grub
[09:32] <ppcguy> hey all.. borked my xerver.. it's dpgk.. xserver? To fix?
[09:32] <otroean_> ok...
[09:33] <wozniak> it is default
[09:33] <otroean_> !grub
[09:33] <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
[09:33] <peter1984> operative: Try and look at this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CorporateUbuntu#head-d352f99d075048f6e8f0b38d1ba1bb221bda9956
[09:33] <WarOfAttrition> does the livecd have a grub installer? that would be useful
[09:33] <peter1984> damn sorry!!
[09:33] <peter1984> long link:-(
[09:33] <RamiKassab> hey guys what good accounting applications are available for linux? The only one I'm away of is GNU Cash, are there any others out there for comparison>
[09:33] <peter1984> i think it is the one i need, but im not sure
[09:33] <NickGarvey> !xorgbug > ppcguy
[09:34] <peter1984> rami: I think there is one called saldi. But i thinks its danish
[09:34] <birdbrain> wozniak: okay, sorry missed your reply, im thinking
[09:34] <RamiKassab> peter1984: oh that won't help :)
[09:34] <ppcguy> NickGavery.. Thanks fo rthat.. But the command on cli is what? dpgk recongfigure-xserver-xorg?
[09:35] <peter1984> Operative: Even if i alter chmod, the thy still would be able to change theme an such right?
[09:35] <wozniak> birdbrain: it is a default install, i think, but it has happened before, with other programs, though not always on startup
[09:35] <birdbrain> wozniak: have you run memtest86 to check your memory?
[09:35] <Minty64> morning :)
[09:35] <peter1984> rami: http://www.saldi.dk/english/
[09:36] <wozniak> i assume i run that in the terminal?
[09:36] <wozniak> i really am new at this crap
[09:36] <atm0sph> whats the channel for xgl / compiz help
[09:36] <atm0sph> ?
[09:36] <atm0sph> I broke X
[09:36] <ppcguy> join the club atm0sph...lol
[09:36] <birdbrain> wozniak: no problem, all new at one stage. The install/livecd should have the ability to run memtest86
[09:37] <RamiKassab> peter1984: have you heard of qasar?
[09:37] <atm0sph> ppcguy : you broke x too?
[09:37] <peter1984> rami: nope
[09:37] <birdbrain> wozniak:i have found faulty memory has really borked my system
[09:37] <operative> peter1984: only if they were the owner
[09:37] <peter1984> ill have di do some reading and tweaks... U know a good guide?
[09:37] <operative> peter1984: if you made the files owned by say, root, and just gave them group permissions, then that would solve the problem
[09:38] <peter1984> aha!
[09:38] <wozniak> birdbrain: ok, i understand that I can run memtest86 to check memory, but i still dont know where to run it
[09:38] <peter1984> Nice one thanks
[09:38] <operative> np
[09:38] <birdbrain> wozniak:can't remember what the boot option is to get there but it should be fairly strait forward. Ill test it in aminute
[09:38] <wozniak> and i know youve probably explained it very well already
[09:38] <peter1984> wozniak: u run it at boot time
[09:39] <RamiKassab> peter1984: it looks pretty good according to online reviews
[09:39] <birdbrain> wozniak: you need to reboot with your install cd in, just give me to ticks to get another computer going with the ubuntu install/livecd and I will walk you through it
[09:39] <kholerabbi> anyone know a good mouse gestures app for dapper gnome? I haven't used gestures so I thought i'd try them out
[09:39] <peter1984> U have memtest as an option, when u boot the ubuntu cd
[09:39] <wozniak> birdbrain: i dont have the isntall cd here
[09:40] <coLD> ok  guys i have dont the sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core=1:1.0.2-0ubuntu10 as well as sudo dpkg -reoncfigure xserver-xorg
[09:40] <operative> for what its worth, I cant see how it would be a memory error, as firefox will be alloc'ing different blocks each time, and its only internet apps. But ram has caused stranger errors in the past I guess
[09:40] <keitaro> Has anyone gotten VMWare on ubuntu to play nice with the sound? I've been reading the forums, but the vmware-esd wrappers don't work for me
[09:40] <coLD> and still i get the no screens found error someone please help me
[09:40] <operative> keitaro: sure, just kill esd and use alsa
[09:40] <birdbrain> wozniak:well the install cd has a memory test option when it boots up. Do you have access to a burner?
[09:40] <operative> much easier than using a wrapper to a sounds deamon
[09:40] <kholerabbi> coLD: Have you got that bug xserver bug from the updates a few days ago?
[09:40] <coLD> ya
[09:41] <coLD> the update bug crap
[09:41] <kholerabbi> I got that, and fixed it first try, just wait and I'll send you the intructions..
[09:41] <wozniak> birdbrain: im running ubuntu right now on a laptop, the dock to the laptop hasa burner in it
[09:41] <keitaro> operative: alrighty
[09:41] <coLD> ok thanks i will wait
[09:42] <TBScripter> ah, apt-get is broken, everything is broken, i cant even install bittorrent :(
[09:42] <operative> TBScripter: woops
[09:42] <Rozi> specify broken :)
[09:42] <operative> TBScripter: define broken?
[09:42] <keitaro> operative: any good pointers to look to install alsa?
[09:42] <TBScripter> umm "dependencies" it cant download
[09:43] <operative> if your using ubuntu is already there. Just kill esd
[09:43] <Madpilot> TBScripter, depends for what?
[09:43] <coLD> kill esd?
[09:43] <operative> yup :)
[09:43] <TBScripter> Madpilot: everything i dunno
[09:43] <kholerabbi> coLD: I hope this works for you: Restart your computer, at the GRUB options select the rescue option - a root command prompt should come up, type this "wget  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xorg-server/xserver-xorg-core_1.0.2-0ubuntu10.1_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-core_1.0.2-0ubuntu10.1_i386.deb"
[09:43] <keitaro> operative: hmm alright its dead, so alsa takes over by default?
[09:44] <kholerabbi> ..although that will only work if you have an active interne
[09:44] <kholerabbi> t
[09:44] <Madpilot> TBScripter, seriously, you need to be more specific than 'everything' and 'it's broken'...
[09:44] <operative> keitaro: alsa is whats producing your sounds, esd is mixing input from mainly gnome apps and passing that mixed pcm stream to alsa
[09:44] <TBScripter> ok il just type in terminal and see what error comes up most often and il start witht that
[09:44] <coLD> kholerabbi i will give that a shot brb
[09:44] <kholerabbi> ok
[09:44] <daurnimator> !fixres
[09:44] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[09:44] <operative> so yeah, if you cut out esd, you can do most things fine anyway
[09:44] <Madpilot> TBScripter, what are you trying to install that gets you depend errors?
[09:45] <operative> TBScripter: I would go fix your sources file
[09:45] <TBScripter> i did
[09:45] <operative> hmm
[09:45] <Madpilot> TBScripter, could you pastebin your sources.list for us, please?
[09:45] <TBScripter> there isn't anything wrong with it
[09:45] <Rozi> TBScripter apt-get update works?
[09:45] <keitaro> operative: hmm well im still getting the /dev/dsp is busy
[09:45] <TBScripter> no apt-get update says that a file is missing
[09:46] <operative> is esd really dead?
[09:46] <keitaro> i did a killall esd
[09:46] <keitaro> doing a ps -aux | egrep -i esd shows nothing
[09:46] <Madpilot> TBScripter, then there is likely something wrong with your sources.list - pastebin it, please...
[09:46] <operative> look for aplay aswell
[09:46] <birdbrain> wozniak:still here are you?
[09:46] <wozniak> birdbrain: yes
[09:46] <keitaro> operative: no processes
[09:46] <TBScripter> pastebin?
[09:47] <operative> you see, some apps like gaim can use aplay for noises, these often slap against esd and cause blocking
[09:47] <Rozi> !pastebin
[09:47] <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 (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[09:47] <birdbrain> wozniak:when you boot into ubuntu, it should have the memtest option on the boot menu. does yours?
[09:47] <operative> keitaro: lsof | grep dsp
[09:47] <wozniak> birdbrain: when i reboot, i should press escape or whatever to get into the boot menu?
[09:48] <Jaggz-> Hello pink baby puppies!
[09:48] <Rozi> Jaggz- (>_<)
[09:48] <birdbrain> wozniak: possibly, what comes up on your grub boot menu? just linux-yada yada or does it just boot straight in?
[09:48] <Jaggz-> lol
[09:48] <keitaro> operative: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21450
[09:48] <TBScripter> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21449
[09:49] <wozniak> i believe it says linux etc, with a few seconds to go the boot menu, then it boots up
[09:49] <TBScripter> is my sources
[09:49] <Jaggz-> can I look at my other computer's evolution calendar for an appointment I added?
[09:49] <Jaggz-> from remote
[09:49] <wozniak> birdbrain:i am using the system right now, so i cant try these things while talking
[09:49] <birdbrain> wozniak:okay, you just need to hit an arrow key, escape might work anykey probably will,
[09:50] <birdbrain> no problem well ill wait here, here is the link to memtest if this fails to download memtest iso http://www.memtest86.com/memtest86-3.2.iso.zip
[09:50] <operative> keitaro: you dont need to use the wrapper now, vmware can play nicely with alsa all on its own
[09:50] <birdbrain> wozniak:it will create a bootable memtest disc, but try rebooting first and selecting memtest from the bootmenu
[09:50] <wozniak> birdbrain: so i reboot, get to bootmenu, how do i run memtest86 once there: what is the comand?
[09:51] <birdbrain> wozniak:scroll down using your arrow keys and press enter. it will just work from there
[09:51] <wozniak> ok
[09:51] <MorphDK> which multimedia-player is best to use as firefox-plugin? Totem?
[09:51] <operative> mplayer + realplayer
[09:52] <wozniak> birdbrain:i should be back in several minutes, if not, something serious has happened
[09:52] <operative> erk
[09:52] <birdbrain> wozniak:np :)
[09:52] <wozniak> birdbrain:what should i be looking for once i do run memtest86?
[09:52] <MorphDK> operative, last time i installed mplayer, it crashed and became unresponsive all the time..
[09:52] <MorphDK> just like my friends ;)
[09:52] <keitaro> operative: alright well i tried it again, killed vmware, same thing
[09:52] <birdbrain> it will spew out lots of errors if there are problems, you may need to leave it running for some time
[09:52] <operative> MorphDK: well do it properly this time :P
[09:52] <wozniak> birdbrain:ok
[09:52] <wozniak> birdbrain:bbl
[09:52] <birdbrain> wozniak:most serious errors are found quikcly
[09:52] <birdbrain> wozniak:leave it do one run
[09:53] <Daemoz> madpilot: TBScripter put his sources.list pastebin link in..
[09:53] <pd222> Hi I installed ubuntu right now, does automatix work on ubuntu 6.06
[09:53] <MorphDK> operative, i just apt-got it, can it be done in a better way?
[09:53] <operative> keitaro: depends how you set this wrapper up I guess. All I can tell you is that vmware will run with alsa "out of the box"
[09:53] <operative> \
[09:53] <Madpilot> Daemoz, thanks, missed it
[09:53] <Daemoz> madpilot: continue talking to me, because hes beside me
[09:53] <kholerabbi> pd222 I have never used automatix or anything similar, but most people will recommend you use EasyUbuntu instead.
[09:53] <BHSPitLappy> hey, was the broken X on the 6.06.1 CD release???
[09:54] <Madpilot> Daemoz, OK - was wondering where he'd gone
[09:54] <kholerabbi> Automatix apperantly stuffs up everyones computers :)
[09:54] <keitaro> operative: hmm. Well it works if im not playing any sound. The problem occurs when i have an mp3  playing on ubuntu, and try to play some sound on the VMwared OS
[09:54] <Madpilot> Daemoz, that sources.list is badly fubar'd - no wonder he's having issues
[09:54] <operative> MorphDK: it can always be done a better way, but rarely with such convienience. Mplayer is like the most stable media handler out there
[09:54] <pd222> ok kholerabbi will try easy ubuntu
[09:54] <Daemoz> Madpilot: can ya link the default one for me?
[09:54] <operative> keitaro: ah ok - google dmix
[09:54] <kholerabbi> pd222: ok
[09:54] <Madpilot> Daemoz, just hunting down the URL
[09:54] <TeePOG> Automatix worked like a charm for me
[09:55] <Madpilot> Daemoz, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17674
[09:55] <Daemoz> ty
[09:55] <kholerabbi> TeePOG: I heard it works, but there are several things you have to avoid installing :).. but meh, I haven't tried it
[09:55] <pd222> TeePOG: which version of automatix did you use
[09:56] <pd222> can I get a howto link for easyubuntu
[09:56] <TeePOG> pd222: the Kubuntu-specific one, latest version that you get when you add the beerorkid repo in apt
[09:56] <Sp4rKy> hi
[09:56] <kholerabbi> !easyubuntu
[09:56] <zsh> !sound
[09:56] <ubotu> EasyUbuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ ; for help and or discussions about EasyUbuntu please join #easyubuntu.
[09:56] <MorphDK> operative, it seemed pretty unstable to me, but that was one year ago.. i will try it again then :)
[09:56] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[09:56] <Crazed> Hi, is there something similar to HLSW for linux ?
[09:56] <pd222> !easyubuntu
[09:57] <kholerabbi> lol
[09:57] <operative> MorphDK: you should, its the daddy mate
[09:57] <some1> hey, can you use a DVD-R as a DVD-Audio?
[09:57] <TeePOG> anyway, easyubuntu's Java Runtime didn't work the first time, so I tried Automatix and it worked out-of-the-box
[09:58] <operative> keitaro: check out the output from ubotu on sound
[09:58] <Sp4rKy> my questions is maybe out of way, but i need help for share my aol connection over win XP (fam), because xp sharing doesn't works
[09:58] <keitaro> operative: hmm?
[09:58] <Daemoz> Coming from pure debian, I don't understand how ubuntu can get much easier xD
[09:58] <Sp4rKy> if someone have any idea ...
[09:58] <operative> !sound
[09:58] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[09:58] <operative> sorry for sounds spam all
[09:58] <some1> hey, can you use a DVD-R as a DVD-Audio?
[09:59] <meathead_> yes
[09:59] <kholerabbi> some1: whats a dvd audio?
[09:59] <meathead_> but the dvd-audio discs have better quality, read about it on wikipedia
[10:00] <Daemoz> I was just thinking of making the move from pure debian to ubuntu, I never really feel secure on pure deb as a desktop OS
[10:00] <keitaro> operative: hmm i dont have that option in dapper
[10:00] <daurnimator> hey
[10:00] <daurnimator> how do i setup perl to work with apache?
[10:04] <UpMarc> please, can someone tell me how to make a newly created Linux partition work?
[10:04] <kholerabbi> UpMarc: be more specific
[10:04] <kholerabbi> !specific
[10:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about specific - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:04] <rob> install grub?
[10:04] <kholerabbi> aww
[10:05] <UpMarc> I created a new partition for Linux  to save my data...
[10:05] <Stargazers> So, is there anyone who can help me with image archiving programs? I mean, is there anything program like DigiKam which support IPTC?
[10:05] <UpMarc> but don't get to create a folder or move files into it
[10:05] <birdbrain> UpMarc:have u mounted it?
[10:05] <UpMarc> yes
[10:05] <rob> UpMarc: you need to mount it probably
[10:06] <UpMarc> i did it
[10:06] <rob> where did you mount it?
[10:06] <UpMarc> look my commands:
[10:06] <rob> don't paste too much :)
[10:06] <UpMarc> mkdir /home/marc/hda4
[10:06] <valehru> Can anyone recommend a nice IDE that works well with C++ in ubuntu?
[10:07] <Lukian> After updating Xorg to the latest version I receive the errors "No devices detected" and "No screens found"
[10:07] <birdbrain> UpMarc:is that it?
[10:07] <MorphDK> nothing happens when i press "play" in mplayer. the play button changes to a pause button, but that's it :/
[10:07] <Tonren> Hey guys, what's a good way to squeeze shorter boot time out of Dapper?
[10:07] <WarOfAttrition> does the latest Xorg have a different conf file setup or something?
[10:07] <matthew_w> I have a real problem; I just got some software upgrades and now X does not start.... it gives an error like " no screens found"   what does that mean?
[10:07] <rob> UpMarc: try sudo mount -t auto /dev/hd(somthing) /some/mount/point
[10:07] <birdbrain> UpMarc:what happens when you do ls -lah /home/marc/hda4
[10:07] <linav_> hi, i got this weird problem,  picture doesnt come when i play videos
[10:08] <linav_> sound is fine
[10:08] <WarOfAttrition> Tonren, maybe using InitNG
