[06:27] <AstralJava> RMorris85: You were missing an 's' from the word 'sources'.
[06:27] <zmo> well, since I use linux I had the habit to recompile the kernel to just suit my needs
[06:27] <gre1> how do i had another hardrive after installation?
[06:28] <cliffd> Jack_Sparrow: I can pick a different kernel other then then 386 one?
[06:28] <Jack_Sparrow> cliffd: yes, you can have both
[06:28] <slytherin> zmo: For 64 bit there is only one kernel. k7 is for AMD 32 bit.
[06:28] <zmo> but having a 64bits processor, I don't know if that's a good idea to recompile in 64bits with a 32bits environment
[06:28] <cliffd> how does one get the 686 kernel?
[06:28] <zmo> slytherin - which is ?
[06:28] <erUSUL> ScislaC: gksu should show a graphical dialog to enter the password
[06:28] <RMorris85> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22054
[06:28] <fijam> cliffd: search synaptic for 686
[06:28] <slytherin> cliffd: From synaptic
[06:28] <cliffd> thanks!
[06:28] <fijam> np
[06:28] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[06:29] <fijam> ok, I'm off. Later
[06:29] <slytherin> zmo: I guess 64 bit kernel is only on 64 bit CD.
[06:29] <ThePrettyThing> hey, anybody knows where to get a GCC compiler for Ubuntu?
[06:29] <Jack_Sparrow> You guys are too fast today.. These old fingers are going to go take a break..
[06:29] <zmo> I'm sorry, but I'm switching from debian and in the mean time, I'm discovering 64bits architecture and ATI drivers
[06:29] <slytherin> ThePrettyThing: install package build-essential
[06:30] <ThePrettyThing> slytherin: cheers.. i'll try
[06:30] <RMorris85> i think this might work after the update
[06:30] <RMorris85> :-)
[06:30] <zmo> so I want to recompile to get at least the dual core working, and at best to have the kernel running natively as 64bits, but I don't want that if I can't have my GPU's accelleration working
[06:30] <AstralJava> RMorris85: Glad to hear that.

[06:48] <tayirvadai_vikra> can anyone help me
[06:48] <cica> hi guys
[06:48] <Plouj> I tried to start a SSH server in Ubuntu server, but it says fail. Where can I check for more detailed messages? /var/log/messages doesn't show anything.
[06:48] <Plouj> anything useful, that is
[06:49] <redguy> Plouj: /var/log/daemon
[06:49] <cica> I'm about to tune my Ubuntu system and I was wondering is there any way of making a complete back of the system before making any changes incase it all goes pear shaped !!
[06:49] <Plouj> /var/log/daemon appears to be empty
[06:49] <kimo> !backup
[06:49] <ubotu> There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi
[06:49] <cliffd> cica: if you have the space you can ufsdump your partitoins
[06:50] <Plouj> !ssh
[06:50] <ubotu> ssh is the Secure SHell protocol (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto). Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows, which can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[06:50] <cica> thanks cliffd
[06:50] <cica> and kimo
[06:50] <cica> !fstab
[06:50] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file lists all drives and partitions that are mounted on the system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !partitions

[06:51] <cica> cheers GateKeeper
[06:52] <cica> does anyone else have their home area on a different partition?

[06:53] <roel_> cica: when you install ubuntu over new, or install another version of ubuntu, your settings/mail/documents are not touched
[06:54] <cica> roel_: so it's just a case of editing the fstab?
[06:55] <Plouj> lol
[06:55] <slytherin> tayirvadai_vikra: I tried once. Didn't succeed. Can't help you
[06:55] <roel_> cica: moving all the data to the new partition (with the 'dd' command for ex.) and editing fstab, yes. And rebooting :)
[06:55] <Plouj> apparently SSHd was already started, so /etc/init.d/ssh start failed...

[06:59] <kimo> eetfunk: strace ssh server & see what is taking time

[06:59] <eetfunk> kimo: hate to ask, but how do i do that?
[06:59] <DJBlits> pff
[07:00] <kimo> eetfunk: just like that "strace ssh server" !
[07:00] <cliffd> when my system shutdowns it says closing down bit tracker and printing and lvm and raid monitor. where do I control those services?

[07:02] <squeaks> can anyone point me to how i can used different serverlayouts in ubuntu, i have the layouts, but can't figure out how to switch between them
[07:02] <cliffd> mcphail: ok, I was just wondering if there was a gui front end
[07:02] <cica> slytherin: it says I've got to resize my current hard disk before I can do this (move home to its own partition). Is resizing the hard disk advisiable/easy to do ???
[07:02] <DeeTahPanLtah> http://nanobin.nanosouffle.net/1594 well,what could have happened?
[07:03] <mcphail> cliffd: /etc/init.d/service start | stop | restart etc is simple enough :)
[07:03] <AstralJava> RMorris85: Did you check that the file was correctly named and in the correct place?
[07:03] <mcphail> cliffd: (and there probably is a gui buried somewhere...)
[07:03] <cliffd> mcphail: yes, I agree. I just know that FC liked you to do it from there gui tool if you were running a gui. im happy with /etc/init.d
[07:04] <slytherin> cica: Where does it say so?
[07:04] <RMorris85> yea it is sources.list
[07:05] <mcphail> cliffd: i'm on CLI just now, but i'm sure there's an option in the gnome menus somewhere
[07:05] <slytherin> cica: It is talking about new partition. No need to resize existing ones if you already have free partition.
[07:05] <cliffd> mcphail: I went to services and all I saw was cron and syslog. nothing about all the other things like cups and bit torrent tracker and raid manager
[07:06] <cliffd> thats why I was wondering if there was another area, maybe special to ubuntu where it was all kept
[07:06] <cica> slytherin: what do u mean by free partition?
[07:06] <cliffd> this is going to sound stupid but how do I search in synaptic, when I click the search button and high light all, and then type something, nothing shows up.
[07:06] <slytherin> cica: I don't know how to explain. I don't understand why you need to move your /home?
[07:07] <caspar> I have a problem that i can't install the new version of Ubuntu on a "old" comptuer
[07:07] <AstralJava> RMorris85: And when you copied the source-o-matic generated file, you're sure it replaced the earlier one?
[07:07] <cica> slytherin: im moving it so I won't loose anything when I do upgrades fresh installs
[07:08] <BigMonkey> How can I mount samba shares at bootup?  These are on my subnet, and I was able to cobble together a method before.  How do I do it right?
[07:08] <cica> slytherin: u know whatta mean?
[07:08] <alphanaut> compiz?
[07:08] <erUSUL> cica: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/
[07:08] <redguy> BigMonkey: hmm edit /etc/fstab?
[07:08] <mcphail> cliffd: there appears to be an app called "bum" in the repos.
[07:08] <mcphail> !info bum
[07:08] <RMorris85> yes for sure
[07:08] <ubotu> bum: graphical runlevel editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.5-1build1 (dapper), package size 74 kB, installed size 484 kB
[07:09] <alphanaut> need help w/ compiz themer
[07:09] <caspar> how can i install Ubuntu with only the text modus ?
[07:09] <cica> erUSUL: yeah I've seen that. But I'm stuck at this bit "First, create a partition of sufficient size for your /home directory. You may have to use that new hard drive, or adjust/resize the existing partition on your current hard-drive to do this. Let me skip those details."
[07:09] <slytherin> cica: Upgrades don't touch your home directory. For fresh install I don't know what to do.
[07:09] <caspar> becouse i still run warty on that computer, but i want to upgrade it to Dapper
[07:09] <cliffd> mcphail: looking. thanks.
[07:09] <cica> erUSUL: how do I create this partition ^^^ ?
[07:10] <AstralJava> RMorris85: Then I cannot  understand why that is happening to you. My only suggestion is to try the se. country code, which I am using. It seems to work for me. If that doesn't help, I must apologize and admit I cannot help anymore. :)
[07:10] <alphanaut> cdwgthemer and compiz? anyone?
[07:11] <synic> alphanaut: be more specific
[07:11] <caspar> can annyone help me?
[07:11] <cliffd> if I add the universal repository to my synaptic is that bad? should I add it when I need something and then remove it or can I just leave it there... the universal wont over wright and update packages from the default repository will it?
[07:11] <alphanaut> synic, I have problems w/ applying themes in compiz
[07:11] <redguy> BigMonkey: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=12306
[07:12] <slytherin> cliffd: It is not bad at all.
[07:12] <synic> alphanaut: I gathered that much
[07:12] <BigMonkey> redguy - Well, I'm way beyond that.  Do you know of a how-to?  As it is, i was creating mount points in the root directory, but I had to be the owner of the link.
[07:12] <mcphail> RMorris85: sometimes running "sudo apt-get install -f" followed by "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" cures problems
[07:12] <erUSUL> cica: with gparted from a livecd shrink a partition with enugh free space and make a new one on that space
[07:12] <alphanaut> Is CGWD Themer a themer for compiz?
[07:12] <BigMonkey> redguy - Thanks, looking.
[07:12] <anthony> I have a separate partition mounted within my Home folder and I't like to give it the same priviledges as my home folder.  how do I do this?
[07:12] <cliffd> slytherin: thanks. coming from FC some of the available repos would over right system packages. it was bad
[07:13] <synic> alphanaut: yeah
[07:13] <mcphail> cliffd: the standard repos are ok. Beware of things like the compiz/beerorkid repos, though.
[07:13] <slytherin> cliffd: In ubuntu, universe repositories held completely different packages that main.
[07:13] <alphanaut> synic, but theres no "apply"-button in version 0.66
[07:13] <redguy> BigMonkey: why would you make mountpoints in the root dir? /media is a far better location
[07:13] <synic> alphanaut: it just changes on the fly
[07:13] <alphanaut> synic, not for me
[07:13] <cliffd> mcphail, slytherin: thanks.
[07:14] <synic> alphanaut: are you even running cgwd?
[07:14] <synic> alphanaut: killall gnome-window-decorator && cgwd
[07:14] <alphanaut> synic, aha...

[07:16] <mshiltonj> I'm having a memory problem somewhere on a particular machine running ubuntu as a desktop machine. After about 4-5 days of uptime, it seems all the memory is used up. I close all apps, restart x, etc, but the memory is still not freed.  Top and ps don't show any large-memory processes. So far, I have to resort to restarting the machine.
[07:16] <byteshack> this does not happen on the serve, but only when connecting to it via nx
[07:16] <chell> now I don't get sound in frozen-bubble and other games anymore (it says that there has been no audio deive found)
[07:16] <byteshack> weird
[07:16] <StoneNote> byteshack, I have two browsers open each with multiple tabs right now. no problems. no hangs.
[07:16] <mshiltonj> has something like this been seen before? google doesn't have much.
[07:16] <brucedes> I want to do a non-destructive partition of my drive using qparted, how can I do this? At the moment the resize option is greyed out...

[07:16] <erUSUL> cica: if you are unsure, yes better live it. messing with hardrives and partitions is risky bussines even if you know what you are doing
[07:16] <chell> I can listen to music using rythmbox though
[07:16] <byteshack> do you use compression?
[07:16] <alphanaut> how do I replace the gnome-window-decorator w/ cwgd, synic ?
[07:16] <byteshack> I'm wondering if it's because I have to use SSL
[07:16] <StoneNote> byteshack, compression and encryption are on
[07:16] <byteshack> darn
[07:17] <synic> alphanaut: how are you starting compiz?
[07:17] <StoneNote> byteshack, how fast is the server you are on and what type of load is it under?
[07:17] <byteshack> I woudn't even have a clue on how to debug this

[07:17] <byteshack> things work OK if I go through vnc
[07:17] <synic> IndyBC: you might try beep-media-player instead, I think it supports unicode
[07:17] <chell> what I can do to resolve these issues?
[07:17] <erUSUL> cica: n problem
[07:18] <IndyBC> synic: Thanks, but I don't really want to change xmms ;)
[07:18] <StoneNote> byteshack, there are tools that are included with nx but I've never used them to resolve a latency issue.
[07:18] <gary4gar> can anyone hep me connecting my nokia phone in linux??
[07:18] <synic> IndyBC: it's pretty much xmms only ported to gtk2.
[07:18] <byteshack> but if I try to load a "big" page on a tab, then the browser hangs
[07:18] <IndyBC> synic: ok
[07:18] <byteshack> but not the whole nx connection
[07:18] <IndyBC> synic: thanks :)
[07:18] <StoneNote> byteshack, there is a channel called #nx you might ask there
[07:18] <alphanaut> synic, now i got it.. thx
[07:18] <byteshack> ah... I'll move my questions there
[07:19] <brucedes> also, does anyone know a good m4a codec for using in banshee?
[07:19] <StoneNote> byteshack, good luck
[07:19] <byteshack> thanks
[07:19] <synic> brucedes: maybe gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
[07:19] <brucedes> i shall try it
[07:20] <synic> brucedes: it might also be in gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
[07:20] <AsadR> is there any application in ubuntu that can show a realtime graph of the bandwidth being used on my network interfaces?
[07:20] <synic> I haven't had much luck with the m4as....
[07:20] <gary4gar> can anyone hep me connecting my nokia 6020 in ubuntu????
[07:21] <BigMonkey> redguy - You're right.  I should make them there, but I was accommodating users that got confused when the mountpoints were not in the root. They wanted the system to behave like our unix system when they were logged in.
[07:21] <slytherin> byteshack: banshee uses gstreamer, so you will need to install ugly-multiverse plugins for gstreamer
[07:21] <redguy> BigMonkey: still, you should make the mountpoints in /media and provide symlinks in root IMHO
[07:21] <slytherin> brucedes: banshee uses gstreamer, so you will need to install ugly-multiverse plugins for gstreamer
[07:22] <cliffd> any one know where this bit torrent tracker is getting started?
[07:22] <gary4gar> hey 853 people here atleast someone should know my problem

[07:22] <slytherin> gary4gar: Connecting using what?
[07:22] <BigMonkey> redguy - I will make them there on this machine.  But, in that page, there is a reference to cifsexec. What is that?  I'm looking to mount samba shares, is that right?

[07:25] <mikey> I'm pretty new to ubuntu, and I'm trying to install ndiswrapper, I found a tutorial on the forums, but when I execute "sudo make", it errors saying that "gcc-3.4" command does not exist ("gcc --version" tells me I have 4.0.2)... Can anybody help?
[07:25] <brucedes> http://www.kmobiletools.org/node/135
[07:25] <brucedes> http://www.kmobiletools.org/ even
[07:25] <slytherin> lanec: Did you try using wpa_supplicant or network-manager?
[07:25] <ladydoor> mikey: you need to go to the repositories in synaptic and install gcc-3.4
[07:26] <ladydoor> mikey: also, does ubuntu's version of ndiswrapper not work for you?
[07:26] <Gumby600m> I want gkrellm (system monitor) in a panel using Ubuntu Dapper with Gnome... but I can't figure out how to add gkrellm to the panel.  It acts like a standalone program...
 he is talkinh about the sms deleting feature not about connecting it
[07:26] <lanec> slytherin: no I haven't tried either
[07:26] <slytherin> mikey: Why ndiswrapper? which card?
[07:26] <brucedes> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22057 *sigh* When I enabled multiverse
[07:26] <brucedes> gary4gar, the second link will be more help
[07:26] <mikey> I did a search for gcc in synaptic, and could only find 4.xx and 3.3, will those do?
[07:26] <lanec> how do I use wpa_supplicant? can I get Network-manager with apt-get?
[07:26] <mikey> And I wasnt sure if ndiswrapper was already installed, apt-get said it wasn't
[07:27] <gary4gar> brucedes, i will try & then tell
[07:27] <lanec> sorry if I respond slowly I think I may have bleach in my eye and its really messed up
[07:27] <mikey> And slytherin, it's a Belkin F5D7050 USB
[07:27] <ladydoor> mikey: right, but there's a version of it in synaptic you can install instead
[07:27] <mikey> Oh I see
[07:27] <slytherin> lanec: install wpagui and network-manager from apt-get
[07:27] <brucedes> You could also in theory use wine to install the nokia phone software, but I doubt they'll interact well together

[07:35] <synd3> Hi. I'm getting this error when I sudo apt-get update: http://pastebin.ca/154846
[07:35] <synd3> How can I fix that?
[07:36] <graveson> why have my scripts stopped working with this error : ./dvdauthor-script: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
[07:36] <ompaul> synd3, talk to the people who run http://repository.debuntu.org
[07:36] <Jack_Sparrow> synd3: It is telling you to run sudo apt-get update when you run sudo apt-get update?
[07:37] <synd3> Jack_Sparrow: Yes
[07:37] <NickGarvey> if I go to compile my kernel, will all of the configuration that ubuntu puts in by default be there?
[07:37] <_azrael> graveson: There are two ways to debug that. The first is to put up the script somewhere, the second is to try to figure out what you changed between it working and not working.
[07:37] <Jack_Sparrow> synd3: see ompaul's suggestion
[07:37] <ompaul> synd3, I don't know what you expect to get there, however I would like to point out that installing random bits of software may break your ubuntu in new and interesting ways
[07:37] <_lupine> NickGarvey: run mke oldconfig first
[07:37] <_lupine> make*
[07:37] <NickGarvey> _lupine: and that will load the config file?
[07:38] <Jack_Sparrow> ompaul: agreed
[07:38] <synd3> ompaul: I don't expect anything. I'm not the one who did the sources.list on this machine
[07:38] <_lupine> NickGarvey: should do
[07:38] <_lupine> it'll get it from /boot or /proc
[07:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !easysource
[07:38] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[07:38] <NickGarvey> _lupine: thanks a lot
[07:38] <_lupine> (assuming it's there  but it should be)
[07:38] <synd3> ompaul: I just would like to know how to get rid of the annoying error message
[07:39] <gary4gar> brucedes,
[07:39] <Jack_Sparrow> synd3: I'd start by rebuilding the repo list
[07:39] <gary4gar> my phone is not deteched!
[07:39] <Jack_Sparrow> synd3: assuming you are using Ubuntu and not another os
[07:40] <gary4gar> Jack_Sparrow, can u help
[07:40] <synd3> Which sources shall I pick to keep from being broken (on that list)

[07:41] <philosophyNrock> anybody know how to setup up a network printer? i'm having a hell of a time

[07:43] <Doomdebah> and i don't know how to get into run level 3
[07:43] <Jack_Sparrow> gary4gar: brb
[07:43] <asdfjkl> _azrael, the cut command is grayed out
[07:43] <gary4gar> acctully i am kinda disapponted every time i come there my problem is not solved, i am not blaming anyone but it does feel bad
[07:43] <D-Man`> anyone installed ubuntu on a machine partioned with OSX ?
[07:43] <asdfjkl> nevermind
[07:43] <_azrael> asdfjkl: Did you select part of the song first?
[07:43] <gary4gar> :(
[07:43] <ladydoor> synd3: backports are generally ok; they're not officially supported, though, because it's volunteers maintaining them and making these packages that are slightly more bleeding-edge than ubuntu's default repos
[07:43] <ladydoor> synd3: so do be careful, too :-)
[07:43] <gary4gar> ladydoor, can u hep??
[07:43] <ladydoor> gary4gar: with what?
[07:44] <asdfjkl> _azrael: i got it to work
[07:44] <asdfjkl> thank you!
[07:44] <gary4gar> i need to connect my phone nokia
[07:44] <gary4gar> with ubuntu
[07:44] <gary4gar> via USB
[07:44] <ladydoor> gary4gar: sorry...i don't know anything about cellphones
[07:44] <ladydoor> gary4gar: good luck, though
[07:44] <_lupine> gary4gar: very much depends on your phone
[07:45] <gary4gar> ok:( but do u know is who can help me
[07:45] <Doomdebah> Lady, do you know anything about the installation of Nvidia drivers? i can give you the exact file i have downloaded.
[07:45] <synd3> ladydoor: Thank you
[07:45] <gary4gar> i am kinda very much disapponted
[07:45] <_lupine> the general method would be to make sure your phone has a serial device in /dev somewhere , then set up ppp through it
[07:45] <synd3> ompaul, Jack_Sparrow: Thanks as well
[07:45] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[07:45] <_lupine> Google knows all, in these situations
[07:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Sorry had to move my truck
[07:45] <gary4gar> :(
[07:45] <ladydoor> synth7: np
[07:46] <Jack_Sparrow> gary4gar: I would not know where to start other than lsusb
[07:46] <mikey> ladydoor, Do you use wifi yourself/have experience? I have a 5 letter passphrase for my network, but iwconfig doesn't seem to like "iwconfig wlan0 key xxxxx"
[07:46] <gary4gar> i did lsusb jack
[07:46] <_lupine> you didn't expect to be breast-fed all your life did you, gary4gar ? Look on it as a learning exercise, and once you've worked it out you could always write a HowTo for other users like yourself
[07:46] <Doomdebah> It comes with the directions on the site, which i do have up, but it has references to several different versions of linux.
[07:47] <mikey> Oh. Woops. Sorry I just read the manpage.
[07:47] <mikey> =(
[07:47] <ladydoor> mikey: i do use ndiswrapper, but i've never been in a network with a password (i use public networks). sorry
[07:47] <ladydoor> mikey: oh, cool
[07:47] <ladydoor> that's even better :-)
[07:47] <Doomdebah> and actually, i would be quite pleased if some one could just tell me what menus or comand prompts i should be going through to find out my Ubuntu version.
[07:47] <gary4gar> _lupine, i do will write something,
[07:47] <Doomdebah> I need to learn this system eventually.
[07:48] <ladydoor> Doomdebah: less /etc/lsb-release
[07:48] <ladydoor> Doomdebah: in a terminal
[07:48] <IndyBC> Where can I find a systray plugin for Beep Music Player?
[07:48] <_lupine> or cat
[07:48] <_lupine> (which is cuter)
[07:48] <Doomdebah> awesome. One last quick question, what does SUSE stand for?
[07:48] <ladydoor> _lupine: yeah it is!
[07:49] <_lupine> Doomdebah: something to do with the university that build it to begin with, I think
[07:49] <Doomdebah> ahh.
[07:49] <_lupine> ...but don't quote me on that
[07:50] <abo> I had to kill synaptic in a middle of an install, now it says that it cannot run because it's already running
[07:50] <mr_smeega1> how do i create a pgp signature
[07:50] <elmargol> Doomdebah:  Software Und SystemEntwicklung [distribution]  (Linux), "S.u.S.E."
[07:51] <abo> any one knows how can I clear lock set by synaptic?
[07:51] <_lupine> Software and System ... ?
[07:51] <Doomdebah> so a SuSE Linux version is unrelated to my Ubuntu module?
[07:51] <_lupine> Doomdebah: probably
[07:51] <Doomdebah> and thus the directions i have are useless to me?
[07:51] <Jack_Sparrow> hopefully
[07:51] <kling0n> kibadock looks like fun :)
[07:51] <Doomdebah> lovely.
[07:51] <jolt> Theres no daily live build for Edgy today?
[07:51] <_lupine> (kernel versions will have some equivalence)
[07:51] <mr_smeega1> how do i export a pgp signature
[07:51] <elmargol> Software Und SystemEntwicklung <- Software and SystemDevelopment (distribution)
[07:51] <kling0n> mischat
[07:51] <_lupine> all depends on what you're trying to do
[07:52] <_lupine> ah, thanks :)

[07:59] <npster> I remember when using Knoppix there was this program to monitor your IP traffic. What is the program for that in Ubuntu ?
[07:59] <synthjet> Jack: hmmn you could go ahead.. it wont damage your gnome.. I read that it just removes the link or something.. anybody else help?
[07:59] <Hoody> how do i change filetype association?
[07:59] <bbrazil> npster: bmon, ntop, iptraf, tcpdump, tethereal, etherape
[08:00] <Rug> npster: jnettop
[08:00] <synthjet> Jack: Satellite Pro M35X
[08:00] <Redrose> Cause i have a satalite a105 and I was wondering if you had to recompile the kernel to get support for the Fn key and monitor brightness?
[08:00] <dan__> I can't get my wireless card to work, so i thought i'd update everything and get dapper but that doesn't owrk either
[08:00] <npster> OK tnx
[08:00] <Doomdebah> O.o amd that dodn't work.
[08:00] <Redrose> dan__, what card?
[08:00] <philosophyNrock> darn you, 20kpbs!
[08:00] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: No way to account for all the ways people customize their systems...
[08:00] <Doomdebah> wait no... never mind
[08:00] <Top_GEAR> Does the directory /etc/sysconfig exists in ubuntu?
[08:00] <dan__> phoebe oct11G-pci
[08:00] <synthjet> Redrose: for my M35X, I didnt have to..
[08:01] <Jack_Sparrow> synthjet: I will avoid that for now, just wanted to look at it.. not having any problems, but always looking for good solutions
[08:01] <DougDante> Hi I booted 6.06 Ubuntu and it's stuck in 640x480 mode.  The GUI interface only allows me to select that mode.  The /var/log/Xorg.0.log file shows a bunch of "hsync out of range" errors, but I have been in 800x600 or 1024x768 plenty of times with Windows XP and Fedora Core 4 and 5.  I can't edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.  Is there a way to fix this?
[08:01] <Redrose> synthjet, how dod you get support?
[08:01] <gre1> why wont it let me acess my debian hardrive from ubuntuu?
[08:01] <mompe> hello
[08:01] <synthjet> Redrose: reg Fn key? it just worked on the fly! am using dapper
[08:02] <jrib> gre1: did you mount it?
[08:02] <Rug> DougDante: why can't you edit xorg.conf?   did you try:  sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf   ?
[08:02] <Redrose> me too... and it doesn't work on the fly
[08:02] <gre1> im trying to
[08:02] <mompe> why do I have to recompile NVIDIA driver each time I boot? It works after compiling but when I reboot it doesn't work until I compile it again :(
[08:02] <andrewy> i'm trying to help a friend with ubuntu.. it was working fine for a while, but he said the sound just stopped working and i can't figure out why. /proc/asound/pcm and /proc/asound/card0 exist, but amixer doesnt show a pcm or master device. he has a soundblaster 24bit. anyone have any ideas?
[08:02] <gre1> but itwont let me
[08:02] <Redrose> but i know their is a program called fnfxd but it won't support my laptop
[08:02] <ladydoor> DougDante: though you should instead do sudo nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:02] <slaxy> hi guys... i was about to install kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu .. i just want to clarify that... i would be able to shift to gnome and KDE whenever i wish.... [i used to do this with slackware with xconfig command(i guess)]  ...
[08:02] <jrib> gre1: what command are you using?  what error are you getting?  what filesystem does it use?
[08:02] <ladydoor> Rug: sudo nano -w, maybe?
[08:02] <Rug> mompe: are you upgrading the kernel between boots?
[08:02] <gre1> im using the disk manager
[08:03] <synthjet> Redrose: tried apt-getting toshutils?
[08:03] <Linuturk_code> Redrose, my brightness keys work fine out of the box in dapper
[08:03] <ladydoor> slaxy: you should have an option to log into either
[08:03] <DougDante> OK, dumb mistake.  Wasn't root by default.
[08:03] <Linuturk_code> synthjet, toshiba utils are in the repos?
[08:03] <Rug> ladydoor: I alias'd "nano -w" so long ago I forgot about that
[08:03] <mompe> Rug: nope, just installed last version and uninstalled ubuntu's nvidia-glx
[08:03] <slaxy> ladydoor: if u let me know how... that would be help
[08:03] <synthjet> Linuturk: yes it is "toshutils"
[08:03] <ladydoor> Rug: oh! lol. yeah, i didn't bother to alias it, because i use emacs
[08:03] <Jack_Sparrow> mompe: Where did you get the nvidia drivers you are using?
[08:03] <yukonho> Hi everyone - I'm trying to install Scilab (from the binary on their website) and it asks that I put the tar.gz file in the directory where I want to install it.  What is the default directory for programs like this?
[08:03] <jrib> gre1: ok, what error are you getting?  what filesystem does it use?
[08:04] <Redrose>  required kernel toshiba support not enabled.
[08:04] <gre1> whats the comand to let me acess my hardrive partition
[08:04] <mompe> Jack_Sparrow: From the official page of NVIDIA
[08:04] <Redrose> it's just ignoring the fn key
[08:04] <ladydoor> slaxy: you should get a gdm/kdm login screen. there should be an option to select what session you want to use somewhere on that screen, i think (someone correct me if i'm wrong)
[08:04] <ladydoor> slaxy: and the "session" is just their word for "window manager or desktop environment"
[08:04] <Redrose> !laptop

[08:04] <Rug> Howdy all.  I just bought an iRivier mp3 player.  When I plug it in it doesn't appear in dmesg.  If I do an lsusb I get: Bus 005 Device 002: ID 4102:1119 iRiver, Ltd. but I have no /dev/sdx to mount it.
[08:05] <philosophyNrock> synthjet: ok so i downloaded printtool, now what
[08:05] <Jack_Sparrow> mompe: Did you ever try to read the Ubuntu nvidia help section
[08:05] <gre1> whats the comand to let me acess another partition?
[08:05] <jrib> gre1: mount
[08:05] <slaxy> ladydoor: even i was guessing the same... but i feel that gdm and kdm are 2 different things.. and have to  enable them to run each windows manager....
[08:05] <mompe> Jack_Sparrow: Nope, I didn't but this should work as it works on every linux distribution... I use gentoo normally I will read it
[08:05] <yukonho_> What is the default installation directory for programs?
[08:06] <Jack_Sparrow> !ati
[08:06] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:06] <synthjet> Phil.N.Rock: you are trying to connect to network printer right? just launch the printtool from shell
[08:06] <mompe> Ok i will try again with binary drivers
[08:06] <jrib> yukonho_: /usr/bin for binaries I guess
[08:06] <Jack_Sparrow> mompe: Obviously not EVERY linux distribution
[08:06] <gre1> it wont let me mount the partion i want
[08:06] <jolt> Oops guess ALSA doesnt see my USB audio
[08:06] <philosophyNrock> synthjet: ok. where does printtool install to? i couldnt find it on a filesystem search
[08:07] <ladydoor> slaxy: yeah...i don't really know how that works, since i uninstalled both and boot to a terminal (and use none of the ubuntu DEs as my default) and then use startx. sorry

[08:07] <philosophyNrock> synthjet:or do i just type "printtool" into the shell?
[08:07] <NickGarvey> my computer freezes on "Waiting for root file system" and then it throws me back to a shell, what might cause this?
[08:07] <yukonho_> I read on the forums that the Scilab in the multiverse was pretty messed up, so I thought I'd try the binary from their website
[08:07] <synthjet> phil.N.rock: just press F2, and enter printtool or at the shell
[08:07] <deflux-> IS there an easy way to parse the URL from javascript to get the various URL "search" parameters?
[08:07] <gre1> what questions?
[08:07] <jrib> yukonho_: use /opt for that
[08:07] <deflux-> so ?bah=boo, then in javascript, I can find a way to get the value of bah?
[08:07] <mompe> Jack_Sparrow: ok, it was just a relief :p
[08:08] <slaxy> ladydoor: well even im a bit confused on this... anyway thx for your help :)
[08:08] <jrib> gre1: what errors you are getting and what filesystem the partition uses
[08:08] <philosophyNrock> synthjet: ok it says i need ncpfs. i'm gonna download it
[08:08] <DJBlits> okay, someone get help me, so yes plz private chat!
[08:08] <deflux-> nevermind.  :)
[08:08] <gre1> its an ext3
[08:08] <W9ZEB-Lars> is there a way to improve the graphics performance in X, with the integrated intel video card on Dapper?
[08:08] <Doomdebah> .... that was bloody simple
[08:08] <Doomdebah> thank you all again
[08:08] <DJBlits> okay, someone get help me, so yes plz private chat!
[08:08] <jrib> gre1: does the Disks dialog give you some kind of error when you press enable?
[08:09] <jrib> !ask

[08:09] <gre1> it dont give me an error it just wont mount it
[08:09] <Jack_Sparrow> W9ZEB-Lars: Get a real video cand and not a built in driver
[08:09] <Jack_Sparrow> card
[08:09] <W9ZEB-Lars> Jack_Sparrow: on a laptop, that's not going to happen.
[08:09] <Ferramentapenna> Can someone help me with a scanner?
[08:09] <Doomdebah> Hope i don't see you all again, because well that means i have more problems.
[08:09] <andrewy> don't intel cards have free drivers?
[08:09] <DJBlits> i got installed soldat for windows on linux, the problem is: how i can open an .lnk file?

[08:09] <Jack_Sparrow> W9ZEB-Lars: decent answer
[08:09] <DJBlits> i got installed soldat for windows on linux, the problem is: how i can open an .lnk file?
[08:09] <andrewy> oh, laptop
[08:09] <Linuturk_code> my intel card works out of the box with 3d support in dapper (intergrated)
[08:09] <jrib> gre1: is there an "Access Path" set?
[08:09] <W9ZEB-Lars> Jack_Sparrow: if It was a desktop, I'd agree with you 100%
[08:09] <Jack_Sparrow> W9ZEB-Lars: THings like that are good to know up front.. :)

[08:10] <W9ZEB-Lars> Linuturk_code: it's possible that it's just google earth that's strange.
[08:10] <DJBlits> yeah?
[08:10] <gre1> no but i tried setting it to /media/hda8
[08:10] <tomveens> interested?
[08:10] <Jack_Sparrow> W9ZEB-Lars:  Other that that, adding ram helps...
[08:10] <jrib> gre1: does /media/hda8 exist?
[08:10] <Ferramentapenna> I'm trying to use a plustek 9636t scanner, can anyone help?
[08:10] <Jack_Sparrow> W9ZEB-Lars: What speed is the lappy and how much ram do you have now
[08:10] <W9ZEB-Lars> Linuturk_code: Jack_Sparrow: running 1024mb of DDR333, intel Pentium M 1.7ghz
[08:10] <jolt> TheGateKeeper Not installed a device driver (ext USB audio).. Supposedly the device supports the generic class USB audio set
[08:10] <gre1> no
[08:11] <Jack_Sparrow> W9ZEB-Lars: decent hardware.
[08:11] <tuxtux> ciao
[08:11] <Linuturk_code> W9ZEB-Lars, that's about what I got
[08:11] <jrib> gre1: you have to create the mount point first, in a terminal you can do: sudo mkdir /media/hda8
[08:11] <yukonho_> Has anyone had a successful experience with Scilab?
[08:11] <W9ZEB-Lars> Jack_Sparrow: it's mostly in Google Earth,  Zooming in and out, the window get's very strange.
[08:11] <jrib> yukonho_: yes
[08:11] <synthjet> yukonho: I had got scilab via apt-get or synaptic

[08:12] <yukonho_> jrib: So, should I use the one in the repo? Is that the gtk version?
[08:12] <W9ZEB-Lars> Jack_Sparrow: looks like i810
[08:12] <grodius> Can someone link me to the newest repositories
[08:12] <Jack_Sparrow> W9ZEB-Lars: You have the driver installed ok?
[08:13] <jrib> yukonho_: I don't think it is the gtk version
[08:13] <yukonho_> jrib: And where do I find the bug report for it?

[08:13] <ubotu> If you find a bug in Ubuntu, please report it at http://bugs.ubuntu.com
[08:13] <W9ZEB-Lars> Jack_Sparrow: appears to be.  Since google earth for linux is still in beta, I suspect that's more likely the problem.
[08:13] <Wavesonics> hi
[08:13] <jrib> yukonho_: if you can't find it there ^, just ping me and I'll see if I can find it again
[08:13] <W9ZEB-Lars> Jack_Sparrow: it's just that's the only 3d like application I have installed, or a reason to use.
[08:13] <ladydoor> grodius: do you mean the backports?
[08:13] <Jack_Sparrow> W9ZEB-Lars: g/e works great for me on nvidia
[08:13] <Wavesonics> I'm trying to get Ubuntu up and running and am having some trobule w\ my gfx card, think u could could help me?
[08:14] <nanday> Sorry for barging in. I'm a Newsforge writer, researching a story. Would anyone be willing to comment publicly on the civility on Ubuntu's forums and Ubuntu's sense of direction compared to Debian's?
[08:14] <jrib> Wavesonics: what trouble are you having?
[08:14] <Jamminpotato> !pastebin>jamminpotato
[08:14] <W9ZEB-Lars> Jack_Sparrow: alright.  I'll do a bit of research on the i810 driver and see if there's something I can do to improve it's performance.
[08:14] <Jack_Sparrow> W9ZEB-Lars: have you run glxgears -printfps?
[08:14] <Vanman> lo all
[08:14] <Wavesonics> I used apt-get to get the restricted drivers, i'm pretty sure they are all installed now, but my refresh rate is still crap, and i dont have nay option other then 60hz
[08:14] <Wavesonics> I have an ATI

[08:15] <W9ZEB-Lars> well, 400-600
[08:15] <jolt> Wave.. might have to get down and dirty and actually edit the xorg.conf yourself
[08:15] <Ferramentapenna> Nanday:  The Ubuntu community is very helpful and friendly to newer users, and we hope to release a end-user ready system before too long.
[08:15] <maki> i have noob question, how to remove *.deb files? dpkg -r ?
[08:15] <ladydoor> !backports > grodius
[08:15] <Wavesonics> i tried that and broke xorg 3 times now lol
[08:15] <jrib> Wavesonics: I think you can use 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' to set a custom refresh rate but the wiki should explain more
[08:15] <Jack_Sparrow> W9ZEB-Lars: fyi my 6600 nvidia gets 5000+
[08:15] <DJBlits> ladydoor hello!
[08:15] <DJBlits> m
[08:15] <philosophyNrock> synthjet: it says no drivers match my printer, although it does autodetect the printer now.  i have the ppd driver file for my printer and i got it from my cd. is there a way i can put it in the printtool folder so it will recognize the driver?
[08:15] <DJBlits> ladydoor hello!

[08:15] <smorning_> Hi all,  I am trying to install Dapper server on am IBM xseries 306M with a adaptec ah9405 SATA/SAS controller and I have run into bug #46510   the installer works fine but when the system tries to boot from the hard disk it can not see the disk like bug #53138.  I went ahead and added the modules to the initrd on the hard disk but I am stuck on editing conf/modules.
[08:15] <maki> i have noob question, how to remove *.deb files? dpkg -r ?
[08:16] <DJBlits> how i open in linux an .lnk file!!!?
[08:16] <Jack_Sparrow> W9ZEB-Lars: My guess is the drivers and not installed correctly.. have you looked in your xorg.conf
[08:16] <ladydoor> DJBlits: lol...i was already responding to someone else, haha
[08:16] <Vanman> hmm lots of questions ;)
[08:16] <jrib> maki: do you want to remove the files themselves or what they installed?
[08:16] <W9ZEB-Lars> Jack_Sparrow: will do.  Thanks again for the assistance.
[08:16] <DJBlits> i:P
[08:16] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[08:16] <Ferramentapenna> .lnk is just a shortcut.  =/
[08:16] <maki> i installed new kernel from deb package

[08:16] <gutano> does anyone know of a serial terminal program that can deal with hex communication?
[08:17] <azzco> Hi may I ask if anyone can help me a bit with kxdocker? I have some serius problems with it...
[08:17] <Jack_Sparrow> maki:  Where did you get the kernel
[08:17] <Jamminpotato> the driver name is fglrx not fglxr right?
[08:17] <Ferramentapenna> I need to talk to someone who knows about scanners, or how to use a Plustek 9636T under Ubuntu.
[08:17] <maki> www.kernel.org
[08:17] <jrib> maki: you should be able to remove stuff you installed using 'dpkg -i foo.deb' with dpkg -r as you said, it gets put into the same apt database, so you should be able to use apt-get or synaptic too
[08:17] <DJBlits> can sdomeone help me?
[08:17] <DJBlits> hel pem ?
[08:17] <grodius> Could someone please link me to the newest repository list
[08:17] <Jamminpotato> !fglrx>jamminpotato

[08:17] <filthpig> Hola. Trying to mount my ntfs drives in Kubuntu Dapper, but after editing fstab and trying "mount /media/ntfs" it gives me "mount: /dev/hda5 already mounted or /media/ntfs busy". Trying to umount either doesn't help :s Any ideas what might be causing this?
[08:17] <maki> <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:17] <ladydoor> grodius: as i asked, do you mean the backports? i sent you an ubuto explanation of them
[08:17] <Vanman> ok well mine is easy:  I have a fresh install on a sparc server and i installed openssh server.  The server is started and I can connect via the console, but remotely it times out
[08:18] <deflux-> When I use onUnLoad, can I use dojo.io.bind ?
[08:18] <Nutubuntu> Hi - VERY basic oo.o and menu question. For some reason when I upgraded to Dapper, OO Draw didn't make it into my menus. I want to add it -- what command starts it?
[08:18] <Vanman> even though I can see ssh open
[08:18] <synthjet> !printtool > philosophyNrock
[08:18] <ladydoor> grodius: the repository list doesn't change
[08:18] <azzco> grodius: search on google "ubuntu repository" there should be a link to a ubuntu wiki like page I think
[08:18] <jrib> Nutubuntu: oodraw, if it is installed
[08:18] <ladydoor> grodius: you just need to do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[08:18] <Nutubuntu> t/y jrib
[08:18] <ladydoor> Nutubuntu: oodraw
[08:19] <ladydoor> Nutubuntu: you might also install the application menu, which installs the nice debian menu
[08:19] <Nutubuntu> Yep -- it's there ... thanks ladydoor and jrib for that! ... ...  I love this chan :)
[08:19] <Wavesonics> it seems like ANY change i make to my xorg.conf breaks it. if i just change the refresh rate it shouldnt die right?
[08:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Wavesonics: If it dosent like the rate it will die
[08:20] <grodius> ladydoor i need the newest list for my sources.list
[08:20] <Nutubuntu> ladydoor:  I'm sorry to be such a n00b, but what is the application menu?
[08:20] <Jack_Sparrow> grodius: there is no new list
[08:20] <Ferramentapenna> Nutubunu:  Click 'applications'
[08:20] <grodius> Neeewest.
[08:20] <orbital_fox> hello
[08:20] <Jack_Sparrow> grodius: are you wanting to move to edgy ?
[08:20] <perkelation> hi
[08:20] <Nutubuntu> Ah -- I see!
[08:20] <orbital_fox> i got a tiny issue
[08:21] <grodius> Jack_Sparrow no im just looking for the dapper repositories, mine have been screwed up and I need the list
[08:21] <Nutubuntu> And there it is under the debian menu ... t/y all
[08:21] <Jack_Sparrow> grodius: and I linked it for you
[08:21] <orbital_fox> aparntly my ubuntu's repositories are still to firefox version 1.0.8
[08:21] <huck> What's a good program to rip songs from cds? particularly mp3's that I've burned long ago... might possibly be wma files
[08:21] <sivanicon> How do I stop my computer from going into suspend mode?
[08:21] <orbital_fox> how can i get a later version of firefox?
[08:21] <ladydoor> Nutubuntu: oh...the debian menu is a program that provides a menu for a lot of programs ubuntu's misses

[08:37] <grodius> silentjihad i just want to know
[08:37] <urbanpt> Are there any network gurus here?

[08:42] <Intangir> then extract it..
[08:42] <kjm> should add.  Haven't had any problems with the KVM switch before.
[08:42] <Intangir> then browse the directory

[08:45] <kjm> heh, sure.  Except I'm typing from it right now.
[08:45] <urie1> they will help me there ?
[08:45] <Intangir> and you reboot and grub cant read it?
[08:45] <Intangir> make sure you enable usb keyboards/mice from your bios
[08:45] <kjm> Just, can't scroll through menu in Grub, which makes it a challenge to get into windows when necessary
[08:46] <kjm> Intangir - even if it is plugged in through PS/2?
[08:46] <maki> what are diffrences between wine and winehq?
[08:46] <Intangir> kjm: a challenge? or impossible?
[08:46] <kjm> Intangir - an impossible challenge?
[08:46] <Intangir> kjm: oh .. well if its ps2 i dont see why grub would have any problem with it
[08:46] <kjm> Me either....
[08:46] <grodius> Ok so I have extracted the tar but now I have a directory but I havent installed it
[08:46] <Intangir> grub doesnt do any fancy hocus pocus to read the keybaord
[08:46] <opexoc> I have heard that C language is portable. Is it really true ? And why ? beacuse it is some weird issue for me.
[08:46] <andrewy> it doesnt have the drivers to do it

[08:46] <andrewy> yes, it is, opexoc..
[08:47] <urie1> kjm can u give me more detiles plz ?
[08:47] <kjm> opexoc - if you stick to the ANSI-C libraries and nothing OS Specific, then yes it is portible
[08:47] <ladydoor> grodius: did you get that link to my (edited down to defaults) menu.list?
[08:47] <opexoc> andrewy: Is it result of defintion of this language ? or what ?
[08:47] <ompaul> opexoc, this is not #C
[08:47] <Intangir> opexoc: its cause damn near every platform has a C compiler
[08:47] <grodius> ladydoor yeah dont worry about it
[08:47] <andrewy> opexoc: the language itself is portable, but if you do OS specific things, it isn't. you will need to recompile it for another platform though
[08:47] <urie1> :(
[08:47] <grodius> ladydoor im working on new things lol
[08:47] <urie1> it seems that the channel is dead
[08:47] <thomaslai> hi, my Firefox version is still <IP_ADDRESS>, when will the repo contain the latest version <IP_ADDRESS>?
[08:47] <tabman> ok this is something strange, I'm facing 2 problems in Ubuntu openoffice which I'm not facing on windows 1. if you open OpenOffice.org 2.0\program\classes, there is a sandbox.jar file present in windows but not in case of Ubuntu & the other problem is of getting an exception when I run a pre given macro inside Impress
[08:48] <ladydoor> grodius: cool
[08:48] <Intangir> urie1: this channel isnt dead
[08:48] <ompaul> opexoc,  and libs on one platform may not work that way on another
[08:48] <Intangir> there are like 800 people talking nonstop
[08:48] <urie1> not this channel

[08:49] <ladydoor> thomaslai: it's hard to say. it may make it into the backports before edgy, it might not.
[08:49] <phillipsjk> I decided to try a "USB 2.0 Internal 6-in-1 Card reader" The driver appears to work (shows in device manager), but media causes it to disonnect. any ideas?
[08:49] <thomaslai> ladydoor: thanks!
[08:50] <ladydoor> thomaslai: np...sorry i don't know better :-/
[08:50] <ladydoor> thomaslai: although there is a way to install it :-)
[08:50] <ladydoor> thomaslai: if you feel you need it
[08:50] <thomaslai> ladydoor: do you mean download the tar ball from mozilla.org?
[08:51] <ladydoor> thomaslai: yeah, but you'd also have to use dpkg-divert to change the name of ubuntu's firefox package
[08:51] <abonilla> Hi, is it ok today to move from Dapper to Edgy, or is it really broken?
[08:51] <thomaslai> ladydoor: I am not sure how to do it
[08:52] <Wavesonics> compiz
[08:53] <Wavesonics> wheres the Ubuntu guide to install Compiz again?
[08:53] <ladydoor> thomaslai: sudo dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu --rename /usr/bin/firefox. then you could put the new tarball in /opt, install it, and put a symlink to firefox in /usr/bin
[08:53] <ompaul> !compiz > Wavesonics
[08:53] <ompaul> Wavesonics, in the message ubotu sent you
[08:53] <ladydoor> thomaslai: but only if you're *desparate* for the update
[08:53] <Wavesonics> aahh cool thank man!
[08:53] <ladydoor> abonilla: it's still under heavy development
[08:54] <ladydoor> abonilla: so you can use it at your own risk...it's still going to be buggy and far from stable. x may break.
[08:54] <teicah> last grodius
[08:54] <Wavesonics> Ok so i followed this guide and when I try to start a XGL session it just goes blank then back to the logon screen. any ideas why?
[08:54] <ompaul> thomaslai, we don't tend to use yesterdays packages for the reason outlined in the url I am about to get ubotu produce
[08:54] <abonilla> ladydoor: I know, but I tried moving to an old dapper to edgy yesterday and bork, the grub boot loader and the strange framebuffer broke my startup

[08:54] <urie1> how come nobody knows anything aobut this
[08:54] <urie1> its very popular plugin

[08:56] <Foogle> I want to shorten my boot time

[08:56] <urie1> yes
[08:56] <urie1> i found in the forums guides
[08:56] <urie1> but they are too olds
[08:56] <ladydoor> abonilla: ah. no. as ubotu said, you might check out #ubuntu+1
[08:56] <urie1> and doesnt work with current
[08:56] <abonilla> thanks
[08:57] <Linuturk_code> urie1, doesn't work with what current?
[08:57] <urie1> 1 of the reason is that the mplayer files were removed from apt
[08:57] <Jamminpotato> does anyone here have gmailFS working?
[08:57] <Foogle> Hello I want to edit the runlevels on a fresh install is there a gui version that I can apt-get ?
[08:57] <urie1> current situation
[08:57] <ladydoor> !repeat
[08:57] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[08:57] <ompaul> urie1, see this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPlayer if current is edgy you are in the wrong channel
[08:57] <urie1> dapper
[08:57] <urie1> g
[08:57] <Jamminpotato> does anyone here have gmailFS working?
[08:58] <ladydoor> urie1: they should be in one of the repos...do you have universe & multiverse enabled?
[08:58] <technel> I have a vfat partition and an external hard drive also formatted as fat32. For some reason, everytime I copy the folder ACDC from the external to the music partition, it creates two identical folders: ACDC and acdc. When I delete acdc, ACDC goes away too...what is going on?!

[08:58] <Linuturk_code> urie1, well, since I don't know, and apparently no one in here knows, so post in the forums in the thread you found. someone must know who isn't on irc
[08:58] <Wavesonics> --I'm installing my ATI drivers and followed the wiki, but i try to do aticonfig and it says it is not found. any ideas why?
[08:58] <urie1> dude
[08:58] <urie1> the plugin is a different project
[08:58] <urie1> !!!
[08:58] <Intangir> urie1: sudo apt-get install mplayer mozilla-mplayer
[08:58] <urie1> argh i need to go bbs
[08:58] <Intangir> thats it
[08:58] <Intangir> i got that off the wiki
[08:59] <urie1> yea that not up to date
[08:59] <Intangir> which i told you to check twice
[08:59] <jacques> Dr_Wills are you there
[08:59] <Intangir> add the repositories
[08:59] <Intangir> then try it
[08:59] <kjm> hmm, so I tried rebooting, and still nothing from the keyboard.  Also, my other box (Fedora FC5) won't take keyboard input - until I startx, which I can't do....because this keybaord can't type startx at the command line.
[08:59] <grodius> Can someone tell me about checkinstall
[08:59] <ompaul> !checkinstall
[08:59] <ubotu> checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall  -  Please: Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page.
[08:59] <kjm> Could it be a USB issue, even though I am plugged in through PS/2 through an adaptor?
[08:59] <urie1> E: Couldn't find package mozilla-mplayer
[08:59] <jacques> Dr_Willis are you there
[08:59] <urie1> people whats up with u

[09:04] <Fatih`> hello

[09:05] <grodius> jrib The editor and shell for Python
[09:05] <Fatih`> I can't use mpd
[09:05] <jacques> what work do you do
[09:05] <Fatih`> error: problems getting a response from "localhost" on port 6600 : Connection refused
[09:05] <jrib> grodius: what is the name of it?
[09:05] <Intangir> thomaslai: maybe it needs some kinda plugin? or CD library
[09:05] <Fatih`> Any ideas why, it doesn't work
[09:05] <Intangir> look up the package on packages.ubuntu.com and see if it has any recommended packages you didnt install
[09:05] <grodius> jrib: Python-2.4.3.tgz
[09:05] <Fatih`> and telnet localhost gives me
[09:05] <thomaslai> Intangir: do you have Amarok? I am not sure what plugin is missing
[09:05] <Fatih`> Trying <IP_ADDRESS>...
[09:05] <Fatih`> telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[09:06] <Intangir> thomaslai: no i never tried it. ive heard alot about it though, surely it can play CDs
[09:06] <Intangir> unless your missing something
[09:06] <jrib> grodius: python is already installed, have you tried just typing 'python' in a terminal?
[09:06] <JustinCase> I'm having trouble getting ubuntu to recognize my 400gb external usb 2.0 HD. Suse and fedora  core both have no probs and I have compared contrasted and googled. Anyone else having the same prob? Dmesg error says "usb 1-2: device descriptor read/8, error -110"
[09:06] <marshall_> hey guys
[09:06] <thomaslai> Intangir: yes, I am equally puzzled as well
[09:06] <marshall_> how do you use a .patch file?
[09:06] <Intangir> try what i suggested
[09:06] <Intangir> thomaslai: look up the package on packages.ubuntu.com and see if it has any recommended packages you didnt install
[09:06] <marshall_> i just downloaded the last-exit save song patch
[09:07] <lasindi[SH118] > Hi all, is there a file that you can put in your home directory that behaves the same way as /etc/hosts (i.e. lets you give aliases to IP addresses without root access to the machine)?
[09:07] <marshall_> and i have no idea what to do with it
[09:07] <thomaslai> Intangir: okay. Thanks
[09:07] <Samuli^> Intangir, Have you tried it with several cd's?
[09:07] <jacques> Dr_Willis:We spoke the other day about having twinview. i totally messed up and i could start the gui. Is there maybe a more detailed howto that i could use. I have a nvidia FX 5500
[09:07] <jrib> marshall_: with the 'patch' command, usually: patch -p0 < file.patch    or just   patch < file.patch, see man patch for more info
[09:07] <Otacon22> wich is the shell command to start the gnome screensaver?
[09:07] <Dr_Willis> jacques,  all i learned.. i learned from the nvidia docs and that gentoo example/wiki page.
[09:08] <Intangir> thomaslai: maybe install kdemultimedia-kio-plugins
[09:08] <Dr_Willis> jacques,  and several years worth of tweaking X config files experience.
[09:08] <NickGarvey> !ext3
[09:08] <ubotu> ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org
[09:08] <marshall_> jrib:  if i do that command, the .patch file will apply itself to the right file?
[09:08] <jrib> marshall_: you have to be in the right location, that is where the -p0 stuff comes in
[09:09] <jacques> Dr_Willis: I see, ok will try again
[09:09] <jrib> marshall_: man patch is very readable, and does a good job explaining it
[09:09] <marshall_> jrib:  what man patch
[09:09] <nibby> Hello, someone can tell me how to install nvidia driver under ubuntu 6.06 ?
[09:09] <marshall_> jrib:  *whats man patch?
[09:09] <jrib> marshall_: type 'man patch' in a terminal.  It will take you to the manual page for patch
[09:09] <thomaslai> Intangir: Thanks buddy
[09:09] <thomaslai> Intangir: I am trying now ...
[09:10] <barongas> when I apt-get upgrade all the compiz/xgl-related packages are "held back", why could that be?
[09:10] <marshall_> jrib:  ok
[09:11] <JustinCase> I'm having trouble getting ubuntu to recognize my 400gb external usb 2.0 HD. Suse and fedora  core both have no probs and I have compared contrasted and googled. Anyone else having the same prob? Dmesg error says "usb 1-2: device descriptor read/8, error -110"

[09:19] <cliffd> anyone know why my system tray icons would stop responding to clicks, like my wireless signal strenght, gaim volume, clock etc etc ?
[09:19] <jrib> Otacon22: gnome-screensaver I think
[09:19] <narnia> hi
[09:19] <lamego> wolki, synaptic is just a graphical interface for apt
[09:19] <Otacon22> jrib, it isn't installed
[09:19] <lamego> i mean, woodgrain ^
[09:20] <Otacon22> i have to install it for use...
[09:20] <jrib> Otacon22: then maybe you are using xscreensvaer
[09:20] <narnia> I can't get ubuntu 6.0.1 to start up
[09:20] <jrib> Otacon22: xscreensaver even
[09:20] <nuxord> so where can i get an editor, i need to do some C programming =\
[09:20] <lamego> Otacon22, gnome-s<TAB>
[09:20] <woodgrain> lamego, so ctrl-f in synaptic is about the same as apt-cache search ____ in apt?
[09:20] <Otacon22> already done
[09:20] <Wavesonics> gah wahts the xgl channle?

[09:21] <Nutubuntu> nuxord:  there's gedit, there's nedit, there's bluefish ... there are a lot of choices. What features do you want in an editor?
[09:21] <Soulfly> nuxord: you have one in the menu..   or run "gedit"
[09:21] <Intangir> Wavesonics: ubuntug-xgl or xgl
[09:21] <urie1> what is wrong :\
[09:21] <Intangir> oops. ubuntu-xgl

[09:24] <narnia> nope
[09:24] <Nutubuntu> Has anyone installed ruby & rubygems?

[09:31] <mirak> is there a way to exit gnome from command line ?
[09:31] <neildarlow> can anyone tell me in which repository libsensors3 exists?
[09:31] <jrib> Cyberai: shift-backspace restarts X if you are using xgl I think
[09:31] <Cyberai> AHA
[09:31] <Cyberai> I did turn on xgl
[09:32] <jrib> mirak: gnome-session-save --kill
[09:32] <mirak> jrib: thanls
[09:32] <narnia> yay, I got Slax to load up
[09:32] <narnia> I think it's a fairly old version though
[09:32] <ladydoor> ryanpg: you might check out #edubuntu
[09:32] <ladydoor> :-)
[09:32] <mirak> jrib: is there a way to restart a gnome session without actually loging out ?
[09:33] <JustinCase> narnia: alternate CD!
[09:33] <brentdax> I have an SMTP server that's down for repairs, and I'm worried servers may start dropping mail soon.  Is there an Ubuntu package I could quickly configure on my desktop to temporarily hold the incoming mail?
[09:33] <EVRAMP> hi, has someone tried cvscedega? i have problem: no sound i games. could you help me pls. thanx
[09:33] <jrib> mirak: not sure what you mean.  Do you want to login as a new user and keep the current one logged in?
[09:34] <Nutubuntu> ryanpg:  I ran across some open-source education software sites recently. Don't remember specifically about lesson-planning software, but I'd imagine it would be there ... would you like the links if I can find them again?
[09:34] <bean-oh> anyone here using NetworkManager for wifi?
[09:34] <brentdax> bean-oh: I am.
[09:34] <mirak> jrib: no, just restart everything like gnome-panels etcetera
[09:34] <narnia> d/l alternate CD now
[09:34] <Magicdead> i got a problem when emulating flash player 9 with firefox in wine, i this one flash movie you can input text, now when i enter a special character like  the input field turns blank and i don't see anything anymore, but the message arrives correctly and so on, flash just seems to be unable to draw text lines with special characters (and it can't be a flash error, as it works fine on linux flash)
[09:34] <lamego> brandon_, emails will be ketp on the relays for several hours
[09:35] <mirak> jrib: doing the session start process without logging in from gdm
[09:35] <santa99> jrib, (if (is (application_name) "nautilus") (maximize))
[09:35] <Magicdead> in the emulated firefox i can enter the chars and it displays them correctly
[09:35] <santa99> jrib, thats what in my nautilus.ds
[09:35] <mirak> jrib: for exemple the splash screen etcetera
[09:35] <jrib> mirak: oh I don't know
[09:35] <neildarlow> lamego: sensible ones keep them for several days :)
[09:35] <brentdax> lamego: you talking to me, or are you replying to something posted before I came in?
[09:35] <santa99> jrib, then i start it with devilspie nautilus.ds
[09:35] <Nutubuntu> ryanpg:  if you would like them I've pastebinned them here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22080
[09:35] <santa99> jrib, but if i start nautilus it doesn't start maximized
[09:36] <jrib> santa99: try: (if (is (application_name) "File Manager") (maximize))
[09:36] <ladydoor> !anyone > bean-oh
[09:36] <bean-oh> brentdax, do you have problems staying connected to an access point? seems like it gets confused easy, drops the connection and then has to reconnect far more often than it should
[09:36] <Nutubuntu> Anyone: Question on how to install ruby & GEMS (or rubygems?): I have installed ruby 1.8 via Synaptic but am not clear how to install gems ... anyone ?
[09:36] <lamego> brentdax, another person
[09:36] <jrib> santa99: and it's best if you just put nautlus.ds in ~/devilspie/ and start devilspie normally
[09:36] <santa99> jrib, okey
[09:37] <jrib> santa99: also if you run 'devilspie -d' you will get debugging info, which is how I know the application_name for nautilus
[09:37] <santa99> jrib, but where is devilspie
[09:37] <jrib> santa99: oops I meant ~/.devilspie/, just create it if it isn't there
[09:37] <brentdax> bean-oh: Not often, but I think I used to--it probably has more to do with your wireless card's drivers and the access points than NetworkManager itself.
[09:37] <bean-oh> ladydoor, sorry about that, i should know better. :D
[09:38] <santa99> jrib, is the ~ = /home/user/.devilspie ?
[09:38] <ladydoor> bean-oh: lol. no worries. i would've said something more productive, but i *don't* use it. sorry
[09:38] <ladydoor> bean-oh: (wireless i mean)
[09:38] <jrib> santa99: yes, so your file is going to be /home/user/.devilspie/nautilus.ds
[09:38] <lamego> Nutubuntu, you get ruby gems from the source : ?
[09:38] <bean-oh> brentdax, yeah, i'm thinking its probably the crappy cisco airo card/driver. it usually works fine, but it seems like if i have a less than optimal connection, its really flaky.
[09:38] <fuoco> do i need internet connection when installing ubuntu ?
[09:39] <desertfish> Hi, all.  I can't figure out which package to install to enable  m4a decoding in banshee/gstreamer
[09:39] <lamego> fuoco, no
[09:39] <Nutubuntu> lamego:  Is that where I'd begin? Couldn't find it in Synaptic, so figured I'd have to d/l from source, but wanted to check first. I *am* a n00b ...  :)
[09:39] <brucedes> does anyone know how I can convert a .dmg from OS X into a standard iso file in ubuntu?
[09:39] <JustinCase> fuoco: no but you do need the CD's
[09:39] <lamego> Nutubuntu, according to site, gems are beta, it would explain not being on synaptic ;)
[09:39] <desertfish> is there a good resource on the Web I can look at to avoid " ** Message: don't know how to handle audio/x-m4a" from banshee?
[09:39] <fuoco> JustinCase: more than just the alternative install cd ?
[09:39] <liran_> when i try to hibernate it fails and system just shutsdown, when i resume my swap is corrupted and i have to apply mkswap on the partition. is this a known issue?
[09:39] <Nutubuntu> lamego:  That's logical :)
[09:39] <brentdax> bean-oh: if it's really bad, you may just have to get a dedicated wireless card.
[09:40] <Nutubuntu> Okay ... off I go, thanks!
[09:40] <santa99> jrib, and so i have to put devilspie in the session startup ?
[09:40] <jrib> santa99: yes
[09:40] <bean-oh> brucedes, my hunch is that you won't be able to. your best bet is to build it from source (if offered)
[09:40] <ryanpg> Nutubuntu, ty
[09:40] <Nutubuntu> y/w, ryanpg
[09:40] <santa99> jrib, ok thx was exactly the program i was searching for
[09:40] <Nutubuntu> Hope some of that helps
[09:40] <brucedes> its a backup of my os x install disks which i made before my system went belly up, and I don't think linux can burn them natively
[09:40] <bean-oh> brentdax, its passible. at least enough to suffer with until my company upgrades my thinkpad
[09:41] <JustinCase> fuoco:have a luke at the ubuntu install docs... gives you all the options
[09:41] <ryanpg> Nutubuntu, there's just a TON of "education" sites out there, most are incomprehensible :)
[09:41] <brentdax> bean-oh: Alright.  Just keep an eye on the upgrade manager, I guess.
[09:41] <Nutubuntu> ryanpg:  Figures, doesn't it? "Those who can, do; those who can't do, teach" -- and  those who can't teach put up education websites, I guess... ;)
[09:42] <bean-oh> brentdax, yeah definitely. its the best thing going wireless-wise, so i have a lot of hope that it will get better than better.
[09:42] <Madeye> guys, I got new machine and want to install ubuntu; it's 64 AMD with 160GB HDD, how many partition do you recommend to have ?
[09:43] <Hexidigital_> Madeye::  are you installing any other OSes on it?
[09:43] <Dr_Willis> Madeye,  depends on the job you want to do with it.
[09:43] <JustinCase> Madeye: dual boot or just linux?
[09:43] <ladydoor> Madeye: well, in addition to a swap partition and a / partition, i recommend at least a /home partition
[09:43] <ladydoor> Madeye: if you're a gamer, you might add /opt
[09:43] <Linuturk_code> Madeye, i personally use three. One at the front of the drive for swap, one about 10 gigs for the system drive (varies with how much you want to install) and the rest as the /home directory
[09:43] <krank_> Madeye I created "/" home and swap
[09:43] <Nutubuntu> Madeye:  As ladydoor said -- you want at least /home separate from everything else
[09:43] <bean-oh> brucedes, i misread. either way, i'm not sure there is dmg -> iso converter for linux. if nothing comes up with google, you might be on your own
[09:43] <ryanpg> Nutubuntu, you're onto something there! I mean you would expect educators to be clear... but let me tell you; if you want to explore horrid examples of sharing information just google "education"
[09:43] <DigitalNinja> I have an email server with /var/log/mail.log. It should rotate once a week but it rotates when it wants to. Can someone help me with this?
[09:43] <brentdax> Madeye: What do you plan do with the space?  Video?  Music?  Games?
[09:44] <Madeye> brent, web server
[09:44] <krank_> madeye: my swap was 1 gig, the other two equal sized, about 24g each
[09:44] <brentdax> What kind of content on the web server?
[09:44] <kjm> Having troubles with wireless PS/2 keyboard and Grub......grub doesn't like the keyboard (i.e. can't scroll through grub menu).
[09:44] <Normal_ooc> i have a question
[09:44] <brucedes> oh dear bean-oh :(
[09:44] <brentdax> (re Madeye)
[09:45] <bean-oh> brucedes, no access to another mac?
[09:45] <brucedes> nope
[09:45] <Normal_ooc> i'm looking to install ubuntu, but its not autobooting from the cd
[09:45] <Madeye> brentdax, krank_  web server serving xml documents, some streaming and little testing
[09:45] <Normal_ooc> am i doing something wrong?
[09:45] <bean-oh> DigitalNinja, have you looked at the crontab?
[09:45] <DigitalNinja> Yup!
[09:45] <brucedes> all my os x disks are f*ed and this backup is all I have left
[09:45] <qatsi> can anyone tell me how do i edit a file which is in a .deb ?
[09:45] <brentdax> Madeye: A dedicated server or a desktop machine with a web server running on it?
[09:46] <brentdax> Madeye: (i.e. are you planning to use it as a desktop as well?)
[09:46] <Madeye> brentdax, no, not a desktop at all
[09:46] <upgrdman> in my fstab, i want to make a listing to mount a samba share. how do i tell it what username and password to use.... i do not want to use credentials=/file ... but rather put it strait in
[09:46] <kattekiksen> Normal_ooc, What do you mean?.. Does the cdrom not boot or is it ubuntu that doesn't boot?
[09:46] <qatsi> anyone ? how to edit a .deb file ?
[09:46] <DigitalNinja> bean-oh: I've looked at crontab, logrotate, syslog.conf, syslogd-listfiles etc...
[09:46] <brentdax> Madeye: Then I recommend a big fat /var partition.  That's usually where web documents go, as well as log files and databases.

[09:46] <acidian> anyone know how to compile and install wine from source?
[09:47] <JustinCase> acidian: gentoo? 8)
[09:47] <brentdax> Madeye: You might even want separate partitions for /var/www, /var/log, /var/mysql, etc.
[09:47] <qatsi> ubotu told me im being ignored :( hehe
[09:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about told me im being ignored :( hehe - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:47] <fyrestrtr> acidian: sure.
[09:47] <_lupine> acidian: ./configure; make; make install is the usual
[09:47] <acidian> JustinCase: not on gentoo :P
[09:47] <ladydoor> acidian: no...but do you know of the wine repositories for ubuntu's apt? they're up-to-date
[09:47] <acidian> I did all those things
[09:47] <acidian> but its telling me it cant find a libwine.so.l when trying to run it afterwards
[09:48] <brentdax> Other than that, a root partition is probably about enough.  Maybe a small /home, but I don't know if you really need that.
[09:48] <_lupine> (side note: you can install gentoo's portage tree in ubuntu)
[09:48] <Normal_ooc> kattekiksen: i reboot my machine, it reads that theres a cd in the cdrom, but then loads windcows normally, it doesnt load ubuntu freecd and i cnat find the install.exe on the cd itself
[09:48] <brentdax> (re Madeye again)
[09:48] <qatsi> is there anyone here who knows how to edit a file inside a .deb ?
[09:48] <_lupine> acidian: install libwine as well?

[09:48] <acidian> ladydoor:  needed to change the source to bypass some opengl setting in wine to play wow :)
[09:48] <fyrestrtr> Normal_ooc: there is no install.exe
[09:48] <_lupine> qatsi: it's just an AR archive

[09:48] <ompaul> !checkinstall > acidian
[09:48] <ladydoor> acidian: sorry, i don't know
[09:48] <brucedes> since I can't convert it, could I make a blank .iso image (which is bootable), then mount the dmg and copy the files over, then burn it?
[09:48] <_lupine> !libwine
[09:48] <ubotu> libwine: Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Dummy Package). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.9-0ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 1 kB, installed size 28 kB
[09:49] <bean-oh> DigitalNinja, what about /etc/logrotate.conf ?
[09:49] <qatsi> _lupine: uhmm, but the archive mannager dosnt open the file :(
[09:49] <_lupine> eh, it's a dummy now
[09:49] <ladydoor> _lupine: zie wants to install from source
[09:49] <DigitalNinja> bean-oh: Yup!
[09:49] <fyrestrtr> acidian: there are instructions on the winehq.org page for WoW that tell you exactly how to download the source, apply the patch, install the dependencies and configure it to run wow.
[09:49] <_lupine> Qatsi: try ar -x <file> from the terminal
[09:49] <ompaul> acidian, your call on the changes in the sources but that checkinstall will allow you uninstall it later if you need to
[09:49] <SonicChao> Someone told me I needed a sniffer to search ports so people couldn't hack me. Is there a good one in the repos?
[09:49] <_lupine> ladydoor: I know... he's just missing the .so
[09:49] <bean-oh> DigitalNinja, hmm, not sure.
[09:49] <_lupine> maybe it's been built but not installed?
[09:49] <acidian> fyrestrtr: I was following it, but it wasnt working at the compiling part
[09:49] <ladydoor> _lupine: oh.
[09:49] <brucedes> or at least a way to non-destructively format, then I could use an OS X disk to mount the dmg to a partition then install from there
[09:49] <dalfz> how can i check what process is occupying my soundcard?
[09:49] <qatsi> _lupine: thank you very much :) ill try that
[09:49] <acidian> ompaul: kk
[09:49] <Normal_ooc> fyrestrtr: then how do i get it to boot from cd?
[09:49] <_lupine> dalf: fuser <sound device file>
[09:50] <fyrestrtr> acidian: did you go to the page that talks about the dependencies, and install the ones for dapper?
[09:50] <_lupine> or fusers. I foget
[09:50] <JustinCase> _lupine:really? portage, eh? wow!
[09:50] <_lupine> forget*
[09:50] <fyrestrtr> Normal_ooc: tell your bios to boot from the cd.
[09:50] <_lupine> not recommended, really, but cool in the extreme :)
[09:50] <acidian> fyrestrtr: nope, that I didnt
[09:50] <_lupine> beats the pants off of apt-rpm
[09:50] <kattekiksen> Normal_ooc, Well, Have you ver tried linux?.. There's to ways to solve your boot problem.. either theres a "boot list key" (It will say which before loading windows, in the black boot thingie where i displays your PC's specs.. Probably f8 or f11.. 2) You can define your boot order in your BIOS setup. (To go to BIOS you sjould probably press f2 or DEL)
[09:50] <fyrestrtr> acidian: then you couldn't have gotten past the ./configure stage, it would have barked at you with errors.
[09:51] <acidian> I did configure, didnt see any special errors
[09:51] <fyrestrtr> acidian: is this the first time you have compiled something?
[09:51] <_lupine> acidian: is the .so in the source tree?
[09:51] <Normal_ooc> katte: this'll be my first intro to linux, usually a win user
[09:51] <fyrestrtr> acidian: all errors are special.
[09:51] <acidian> fyrestrtr: yeah
[09:51] <fyrestrtr> acidian: you probably didn't know what to look for :)
[09:51] <_lupine> (and did you make install as root/sudo?)
[09:51] <Normal_ooc> brb, gonna try those two suggestions, i'll be bvack if they dont work
[09:51] <acidian> _lupine:  I dont know
[09:52] <sfp> hi room
[09:52] <fyrestrtr> acidian: go back to the winehq page, and read the instructions carefully, and don't skip any parts. I have compiled wine from source many times, and it can be done, just follow instructions.
[09:52] <ossie> hi guys i have just installed mysql and dont know the default user password
[09:52] <ossie> ?
[09:52] <_lupine> ok, first look for .so files in the source tree. Also check your /lib for them. If in source tree but not /lib, then simply "sudo make install" to fix
[09:52] <qatsi> _lupine: it says that i dont have the command ar, should I install something like ar ?
[09:53] <_lupine> presumably, yes. Should be a part of coreutils though
[09:53] <fyrestrtr> ossie: there isn't one. mysql -u root -p (hit enter when it asks you for the password, then set one)
[09:53] <sfp> xwindows won't start on my dapper drake installation. it says the gdm won't start. will the installation cd fix this or is there a quicker way to repair the installation
[09:53] <SleepySocks> hey everyone, when is the next release of Edgy Eft suppose to be released?  Isn't it suppose to be today?
[09:53] <ossie> cheers fyrestrtr
[09:53] <fyrestrtr> sfp: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:53] <kmasta> how do i "Make sure that you have the universe and multiverse repositories enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list"
[09:53] <micahcowan> qatsi, ar is in the binutils package
[09:54] <qatsi> _lupine: strange, i have coreutils installed
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> SleepySocks: no, it will be in November.
[09:54] <qatsi> micahcowan: ok, ill try that :)
[09:54] <sfp> thanks fyrestrtr!

[09:54] <Madeye> brentdax, How large the swap can be ? I mean if I have 5GB of RAM can I create a 5GB swap ? or it doesn't work ?
[09:54] <ossie> fyrestrtr, that doesnt work, its like it has a password
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> Madeye: swap can be as large as you want.
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> ossie: it doesn't unless you set one yourself.
[09:55] <Nutubuntu> lamego (or anyone):  Okay ... having installed rubygems -- should I install rails via Synaptic? or via rubygems "gem instlal rails -y" ?
[09:55] <ossie> its a fresh install fyrestrtr
[09:55] <fyrestrtr> ossie: did you install both the client and the server? (sudo apt-get install mysql-server)
[09:55] <ladydoor> SleepySocks: no, not until october
[09:55] <kmasta> thank you kjm
[09:55] <kjm> 5 GB is huge.....with 5 GB of RAM, do you really need that much swap though?  The system will rarely need it.....unless you do things that fill that 5 GBs....
[09:55] <marshall_> booyaka]
[09:55] <ossie> fyrestrtr, yes i have the server running
