[11:12] <Goldwing> cool, i liked apt-get on fedora alot better then yum
[11:12] <chuckyp> zoCy, yeah you should be able to use gxine or totem to play movies
[11:12] <zoCy> chuckyp yep thanks a lot
[11:13] <chuckyp> Goldwing, yeah everythign is apt-get
[11:13] <NET||abuse> can i just throw the package in with apt-get install linux-image-686
[11:13] <chuckyp> zoCy, np
[11:13] <NET||abuse> i see it there in the repos
[11:13] <mnepton> NET||abuse: no, you'll need "sudo" ;)
[11:13] <chuckyp> NET||abuse, yeah that wil install the 686 kernel
[11:13] <NET||abuse> mnepton: haha
[11:13] <Goldwing> only worry will be getting my prism2.5 card working properly
[11:13] <mnepton> NET||abuse: make sure you get the 686 restricted modules, too
[11:14] <BlanketMan> hi, what's linux command to list all my hdds? eg : hda1 hdb1 ..
[11:14] <chuckyp> Goldwing, should work out of the box i believe
[11:14] <NET||abuse> mnepton: um, how do i go about getting the restricted modules?
[11:14] <Goldwing> ROFL!!!! "Failed to create a file system" okeeee... that's a goood start
[11:14] <NET||abuse> should they run on dependancy of installing this new kernel image?
[11:14] <chuckyp> Goldwing, lol
[11:14] <mnepton> NET||abuse: apt-cache search restricted-modules
[11:14] <NET||abuse> :P ok, i'll go allokking
[11:14] <chuckyp> NET||abuse, it will tell you if not install linux-restricted-modules-686   but I believe it will depend on it.
[11:15] <AWOSDev> BlanketMan, uh, ls -al /dev/hd*
[11:15] <ice_1963> Goldwing: you did
[11:15] <BlanketMan> thanks a lot
[11:15] <mnepton> chuckyp: the kernel does not depend on modules.
[11:15] <AWOSDev> BlanketMan, np :)
[11:15] <Goldwing> ice_1963 : i told ubuntu installer to partition for m
[11:15] <Goldwing> e
[11:15] <Ghos> Hi everyone!
[11:15] <chuckyp> NET||abuse, well then sudo apt-get install linux-image-686 linux-restricted-modules-686
[11:15] <Goldwing> then the error came
[11:16] <mnepton> Goldwing: are the partitions/drives mounted?
[11:16] <chuckyp> Goldwing, are you using the livecd or the alternate iso?
[11:16] <emanuelez> hello. i installed the flash 9 beta. i can see it in about:plugins, and it works apart from audio. what should i have in /etc/firefox/firefoxrc?
[11:16] <tucoz> Hi, is there some place to see if a specific program is part of a package?
[11:16] <bun-bun> !ssl
[11:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ssl - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:16] <Goldwing> mnepton it's the live cd, i just downloaded, so it should have mounted them
[11:16] <BlanketMan> AWOSDev : That results in about 7 hds :) I'm sure I only have 2
[11:16] <Rookie_> !mod_ssl
[11:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mod_ssl - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:16] <Goldwing> chuckyp : live cd
[11:17] <AWOSDev> BlanketMan, try    ls -al /dev/hd?
[11:17] <AWOSDev> Yes with a ?
[11:17] <mnepton> Goldwing: try unmounting filesystems before altering them
[11:17] <Rookie_> df
[11:17] <BlanketMan> ahh thats more like it, cheers
[11:17] <NET||abuse> chuckyp: mnepton: thanks alot for this :) how would that affect my use of Xgl also?? i'm not using during the video playback before you ask, but in terms of performance on the Xgl compiz setup? would it improve that at all either?
[11:17] <AWOSDev> BlanketMan, np :)
[11:17] <AWOSDev> BlanketMan, those others were the individual partitions.
[11:17] <chuckyp> NET||abuse, yes that would improve as well.
[11:18] <NET||abuse> interesting :)
[11:18] <Goldwing> mnepton : need to reboot it bow... it's stuck at 15% "detecting file system"
[11:18] <AWOSDev> BlanketMan, e.g. hda is disk, hda1, 2, 3 is partitions :0
[11:18] <AWOSDev> s/0/)
[11:18] <mnepton> NET||abuse: most likely not, although the restricted module for your vidcard might.
[11:18] <AWOSDev>  /
[11:18] <chuckyp> NET||abuse, basically you are installing hte proper kernel for your hardware.
[11:18] <ice_1963> flashplugin-nonfree is not that inporint for me
[11:18] <BlanketMan> hdc could be usb device?
[11:18] <NET||abuse>  chuckyp: so i understand,, well i really wish i'd known about this earlier :)
[11:18] <emanuelez> hello. i installed the flash 9 beta. i can see it in about:plugins, and it works apart from audio. what should i have in /etc/firefox/firefoxrc?
[11:18] <NET||abuse> my performance has always been a little laggy
[11:18] <BlanketMan> ahh never mind, disk drive :) thanks again
[11:18] <mnepton> NET||abuse: you'll see a marked improvement.
[11:19] <Goldwing> can't i install without going to the live ubuntu?? i mean.. install right away without the fancy stuff
[11:19] <mnepton> Goldwing: get the alternate CD
[11:19] <Goldwing> i'm a commandline person anyway
[11:19] <mnepton> Goldwing: the alternate CD has the curse installer
[11:19] <mnepton> *curses
[11:19] <Goldwing> mnepton : ok
[11:19] <Goldwing> thx
[11:19] <NET||abuse> could this impact on anything like my other hardware tweaks i've had to do, installing the bcm43xx module for my wifi, or will i have to replace any drivers like the radeon driver or anything?
[11:19] <wizarko> hello
[11:19] <chuckyp> Goldwing, also burn it at like 8x or slower
[11:20] <chuckyp> Goldwing, just to make sure you aren't having media issues
[11:20] <BlanketMan> last question for the night, can we find out more info about a hda hdb etc from terminal? eg : storage capacity etc.
[11:20] <Goldwing> chuckyp ok
[11:20] <emanuelez> what is in /etc/firefox/firefoxrc by default?
[11:20] <AWOSDev> BlanketMan, uh dunno.
[11:20] <BlanketMan> just so I know I am mounting the correct hd :)
[11:21] <AWOSDev> BlanketMan
[11:21] <AWOSDev> BlanketMan - try "sudo fdisk -l /dev/hd?"
[11:21] <AWOSDev> replace ? with either a or b.
[11:22] <wyrmwraith> generally has much been modified since the latest release of dapper drake?
[11:22] <wyrmwraith> briefly
[11:22] <wyrmwraith> sort of thing
[11:22] <Shadowpillar> yeah
[11:23] <wyrmwraith> ok
[11:23] <Shadowpillar> example: stock kernel doesn't support things like the jmicron ASIC
[11:23] <Shadowpillar> updated kernel does
[11:23] <wyrmwraith> i'm missing bout 40mb
[11:23] <wyrmwraith> ic
[11:23] <wyrmwraith> :p
[11:23] <Shadowpillar> so if your HW seems to not work right, update to the latest kernel
[11:24] <wyrmwraith> i know of jmicron can't identify tho
[11:24] <iLLf8d> uhm I can't seem to insall flash atm any bot entries for a fix?
[11:25] <wyrmwraith> normally once the bitchx 'repository' is retrieved should it be apparent in the gui

[11:27] <AWOSDev> Please help?
[11:27] <Vapour> hiya. in keyboard shortcuts, what does e.g. "0xb2" mean?
[11:27] <AWOSDev> 0xB2 is a scancode.
[11:28] <mnepton> it's Ox - Beta 2. God's bugfix release for the popular draft animal.
[11:28] <Goldwing> does ubuntu use grub bootloader? (just wondering)
[11:28] <mnepton> Goldwing: yes.
[11:28] <Goldwing> k
[11:29] <Vapour> mnepton: so it's not a shortcut?
[11:29] <mnepton> Vapour: </sarcasm> ;)
[11:29] <Vapour> hehe
[11:29] <AWOSDev> It's a freaky scancode at that.
[11:29] <AWOSDev> I can't find it anywhere.
[11:29] <Vapour> well I don't know enough about Linux to notice sarcasm
[11:29] <wyrmwraith> ninjas?
[11:30] <AWOSDev> Vapour, he was talking about the Ox as in the animal, saying that it was a 'beta' release of the ox :)  just a funny

[11:31] <AWOSDev> Goldwing :P

[11:43] <Svish> hello?
[11:43] <Svish> is there anybody out there?
[11:44] <neenaoffline> no
[11:44] <bun-bun> Svish# you might want to lower your expectations a bit this late :)
[11:44] <Svish> this late?
[11:44] <thefish> Svish: you may want to try #ubuntu-geniuses
[11:44] <Svish> lol
[11:44] <chenwgm> how to use icq
[11:44] <bun-bun> Svish# it's 2:45am here
[11:44] <Svish> well, its 13:44 here, so.. kind of not late :p
[11:44] <waylandbill> it's always late somewhere.
[11:45] <fnf> Svish: and here's 16:44 ;)
[11:45] <bun-bun> or you could just throw your question out there and see if any geniuses wake up to answer it ;)
[11:45] <chuckyp> chenwgm, use gaim
[11:45] <Svish> What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?
[11:46] <teledyn> what's the bot's name?
[11:46] <holycow> botbot
[11:46] <holycow> not really
[11:46] <holycow> ubotu
[11:46] <mnepton> Svish: kernel source is not installed by default
[11:46] <Svish> ok
[11:46] <Svish> so
[11:46] <rgl> can you show me your /etc/apt/sources.list file?
[11:46] <Svish> how do I install it?
[11:46] <mnepton> Svish: it is available in the repos
[11:46] <Svish> repos?
[11:47] <waylandbill> /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`
[11:47] <mnepton> repositories
[11:47] <kenshin_ds> hi
[11:47] <Svish> in totally newb, lol
[11:48] <French> Can some one help me out, im trying to chown my /media/blah *fat32* so i can read/write to is, but i dont know how to use chown
[11:48] <Svish> there is no directory called linux-headers
[11:48] <mnepton> Svish: why do you need the kernel source?
[11:48] <Svish> /usr/src is empty
[11:48] <waylandbill> Svish, you need to install them first. then they will be there.
[11:48] <fnf> Svish: you need to install 'linux-headers-$(uname-r)' first, the uname -r command shows you what's your current kernel version, just a convenience.
[11:48] <teledyn> this is my 2nd hour using ubuntu
[11:48] <Svish> some installthing asks for it
[11:49] <mnepton> Svish: what asks for it?
[11:49] <sonics> what xterm is best for using irssi?!
[11:49] <waylandbill> what is 'some install thing'
[11:49] <Svish> uname -r -> 2.6.15-27-386
[11:49] <mnepton> Svish: what asks for it?
[11:49] <bun-bun> sonics# i've used irssi with the default terminal in gnome with no problems
[11:49] <Svish> a config-script
[11:50] <Svish> or something
[11:50] <waylandbill> Svish, start simple... what are you trying to do exactly?
[11:50] <fnf> Svish: yup, then you need to install linux-headers-2.6.15-27-386
[11:50] <Vapour> if I have a hd with NTFS and I want to install Linux on it, will it change the FS to FAT32 or something automatically?
[11:50] <sonics> bun-bun: yeah but I need the background to turn black and maybe wanted to add some transparency to it, is that possible !?
[11:50] <Svish> I am running ubuntu in VMware, and I am trying to install something called VMwareTools
[11:50] <whazilla> Vapour u'r ntfs will be vaporized
[11:50] <wolf202> anyone know an alarm clock app?
[11:51] <waylandbill> Vapour, you can resize the NTFS smaller to make room for linux
[11:51] <Svish> and the installing went great
[11:51] <fnf> Vapour: the installer will ask you to format the partition before copying any files.
[11:51] <Svish> but now I need to configure it
[11:51] <mnepton> Svish: sudo apt-get install linux-headers
[11:51] <Svish> and the configure-something.pl asks for the source thing
[11:51] <waylandbill> Svish, that's what I figured you were doing. You need to 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers'
[11:51] <bun-bun> sonics# iirc, the background is black by default, and i believe you can adjust the opacity to make it transparent as well
[11:52] <Svish> sudo apt-get install linux got a whole list of linux-headers
[11:52] <Vapour> waylandbill: what does resize mean? is it what fnf says: NTFS on one partition and another FS on another?
[11:52] <Svish> it says that I should explicitly select one
[11:52] <sonics> bun-bun: you mean the normal xterm?! well, how can I switch fonts there?
[11:53] <fnf> Vapour: he meant if you've got only one existing NTFS partition, try to resize it first to create another partition for Ubuntu.
[11:53] <waylandbill> Vapour, you will have to manually set up the partitions. You will make the NTFS smaller and then create a Linux one (plus a swap one) in the freed space.
[11:53] <Vapour> ok, thanks
[11:53] <mnepton> Svish: what does uname -a return?
[11:54] <Saelynh_irssi> hi evryone
[11:54] <waylandbill> Svish, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[11:54] <bun-bun> sonics# it's not xterm i'm pretty sure-- i'm referring to the terminal program available through Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
[11:54] <mnepton> waylandbill: no, as that will not install the meta-package that updates will depend on
[11:54] <French> Can some one help me out, im trying to chown my /media/blah *fat32* so i can read/write to is, but i dont know how to use chown
[11:54] <bun-bun> sonics# change fonts etc by editing the default profile or creating your own
[11:55] <sonics> bun-bun: yeah ok its "gnome-terminal"
[11:55] <fnf> French: You read the man pages already ?
[11:55] <Svish> so, same as I did, but with `uname -r` after it?
[11:55] <bun-bun> sonics# that's the one
[11:55] <sonics> bun-bun: im pretty new to that, is there any howto on that?
[11:55] <waylandbill> mnepton, ah.. linux-headers-386 is what he wants.
[11:55] <French> fnt: yeah is still unclear to me
[11:55] <sonics> which font runs best with irssi?
[11:55] <mnepton> waylandbill: if he has a 386 kernel, yes. but he didn't answer me.
[11:55] <rgl> how do I remove the klogd package without also removing the syslogd package?  that is, apt-get --purge remove klogd whats to remove both :(
[11:55] <Svish> yey!
[11:55] <Svish> it found one
[11:55] <Svish> I am installing it :)
[11:56] <bun-bun> sonics# it's fairly simple-- within terminal go to edit -> profiles
[11:56] <rootpt> how can i install flash9 ? its safe to install ?
[11:56] <bun-bun> !gnome-terminal
[11:56] <ubotu> gnome-terminal: The GNOME 2 terminal emulator application. In component main, is optional. Version 2.14.2-0ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 165 kB, installed size 396 kB
[11:56] <Svish> linux-headers-2.6.15-27
[11:56] <Svish> or something..
[11:56] <fnf> French: an immediate solution is '#chown <user:group> /media/blah', ex.: if your user name is aabb then 'chown aabb:aabb /media/blah'
[11:56] <waylandbill> updating would be an issue with vmware anyway as the modules would need re-compiling at some point.
[11:57] <sonics> ahh thanx bun-bun ^^
[11:57] <sonics> what font can u recommen?
[11:57] <shinobi2> how do i password protect a tar file?
[11:57] <shinobi2> or a zip file?
[11:57] <French> fnf: that will allow me to read/write on that media?
[11:57] <atinos> hello
[11:57] <bun-bun> sonics# i just used the default settings..  but i tend to like monospace fonts
[11:57] <Svish> yeah, the best would be to run linux on its own partition not inside vmware..
[11:57] <fnf> French: sure, the owner of a file has total control over it
[11:58] <Svish> but sort of need windows too, so.. hehe
[11:58] <atinos> where can I find the jre directory?   "whereis java" and "whereis jre" don't tell me that
[11:58] <French> fnf: i tryed what you have told me, and ive tryed it befor also, it doesnt work, it says chaing  ownership no permitted
[11:58] <fnf> French: in case the partition is not auto-mounted though, you still need root permission to mount it (unless specified in fstab)
[11:58] <waylandbill> shinobi2, the man page for zip says that '-e' will prompt for a password to encrypt the archive.
[11:59] <h1mawari> how to /etc/resov.conf setting in ipv6 client
[11:59] <fnf> French: that needs root permission, try appending 'sudo'
[11:59] <French> fnf: im not sure what you mean by appending
[11:59] <waylandbill> prepend sudo
[11:59] <fnf> French: sudo chown aabb:aabb /media/blah should work
[12:00] <fnf> waylandbill: ah yes
[12:00] <French> fnf: I tryed that just befor and it didn't work, i might have wrote it wrong ill try again
[12:00] <whazilla> i fucked up my ubuntu
[12:00] <shinobi2> waylandbill: ok, but far tar files, there's no passwd protect?
[12:00] <gnu2it2> what is a good serial connection program to a tty besides kermit ?
[12:01] <whazilla> deleted my localhost connections in network properties
[12:01] <Svish> that reminds me: what is the best way to install java-jdk? and is there any good development environments for linux(C and C++ mainly)? im used to Visual Studio so... not good at terminalcompiling and texteditorprogramming :p
[12:01] <shinobi2> whazilla: me too, my ubuntu is acting weird from time to time. have to wipe out and reinstall
[12:01] <whazilla> now i can't su or sudo
[12:01] <French> fnf: I get this result "changing ownership of `/media/blah': Operation not permitted"
[12:01] <whazilla> how would i fix it ?
[12:01] <atinos> where can I find the java directory?   "whereis java" and "whereis jre" don't tell me that
[12:01] <fnf> French: did it ask for your password ?
[12:01] <whazilla> i don't wanne play wipeout
[12:01] <French> Yes
[12:01] <whazilla> but if it's a must
[12:02] <whazilla> i'll play
[12:02] <waylandbill> shinobi2, not that I'm aware of. just don't leave your vital tar in an unsecure place. :-)
[12:02] <shinobi2> whazilla: that's really f up
[12:02] <fnf> French: wierd, have you used sudo before ? can you sudo to modify /etc/fstab for ex. ?
[12:02] <whazilla> nope
[12:02] <wolf202> Anyone know a good alarm clock app???
[12:03] <shinobi2> whazilla: that's really f up
[12:03] <whazilla> sudo says something about unable to contact local host
[12:03] <Vapour> sonics: Tahoma is a good hinted font
[12:03] <shinobi2> waylandbill: disregard my other comment, wrong person
[12:03] <PURESKILLZZZ> I am a noob but I think french needs to close and then re-open treminal
[12:03] <whazilla> shinobi2 just the way we like it then ?
[12:03] <Goldwing> hmm... that's something getting used to... ubunto doesn't have a "root" account
[12:03] <French> fnf: I have
[12:03] <whazilla> *den
[12:03] <French> PURESKILLZZZ: I have
[12:04] <sonics> Tahoma aint installed here...
[12:04] <gnu2it2> what is a good serial connection program to a tty besides kermit ?
[12:04] <shinobi2> waylandbill: i am just chmod it to 700 for me tar, but work like to passwd protect it , and get into a habit, so i case one day i forget to chmod my files
[12:04] <sonics> Vapour: how do I get Tahoma font?
[12:04] <AWOSDev> sonics, sudo apt-get install mscorefonts IIRC...
[12:04] <PURESKILLZZZ> french .. when you open your terminal what do you see ?
[12:04] <French> PURESKILLZZZ: "jarrad@jarrad-desktop:~$"
[12:05] <waylandbill> shinobi2, you should always know your permissions in a multi-user, networked environment anyway.
[12:05] <sonics> AWOSDev: "Couldnt find package mscorefonts"
[12:05] <Goldwing> whats a good alternative for kismet?? one that runs in gnome?
[12:05] <PURESKILLZZZ> then you should be able to type sudo there
[12:05] <whazilla> i can't
[12:05] <whazilla> it's unpure
[12:05] <Vapour> sonics: sorry I don't know
[12:05] <whazilla> no connection to localhost
[12:05] <shinobi2> waylandbill: man.. i can't type, so tired, good bye
[12:05] <sonics> Vapour: np^
[12:05] <French> I have GTG
[12:06] <fnf> French: So you want to modify the files on the mounted partition ? The correct way to do it would be specifing the group in /etc/fstab and put yourself in that group (Ubuntu has plugdev, usually GID=46 for account that can modify the files on mounted partitions)
[12:06] <AWOSDev> sonics: apt-get install msttcorefonts
[12:06] <waylandbill> !root
[12:06] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[12:06] <waylandbill> for Goldwing
[12:06] <sonics> AWOSDev: working thnx =)
[12:06] <fnf> French: changing ownership should work but not in anyway elegant.
[12:07] <AWOSDev> sonics, np =)
[12:07] <Goldwing> ok thx
[12:07] <AWOSDev> Oops sorry wrong channel
[12:07] <sonics> eheh
[12:07] <Goldwing> i knew about sudo, but typing it before each command, especially when you have to do alot..
[12:07] <Goldwing> not nice

[12:08] <foureight84> hello
[12:08] <fnf> flapane: that is scheduled to be on 26th this month
[12:08] <PURESKILLZZZ> hi
[12:08] <flapane> thank you very much
[12:08] <waylandbill> Goldwing, look at the man for sudo.. specifically -i switch
[12:08] <foureight84> i have a question about automounting cf cards
[12:08] <AWOSDev> Goldwing, wanna know a secret?
[12:08] <RMorris84> how do u install flash 9?
[12:09] <Goldwing> waylandbill : yea
[12:09] <Goldwing> AWOSDev : sure, but won't everybody know here then ;)
[12:09] <foureight84> i have my cf card on automount in fstab. when i remove it, it gets unmounted, but after plugging it in, it doesn't automount, i have to do it manually
[12:09] <AWOSDev> Goldwing, try sudo -s
[12:09] <foureight84> is there a way to make ubuntu automount cf and sd cards on insertion?
[12:09] <Goldwing> AWOSDev : ok will give it a shot
[12:10] <AWOSDev> Goldwing, np :)
[12:10] <Goldwing> :)
[12:10] <waylandbill> be sure to look at the differences of -i and -s.. they are a little different with the environments.
[12:11] <foureight84> anyone?
[12:12] <rapego> ola
[12:12] <PURESKILLZZZ> Goldwing what version you using .. In vesion 5.10 my card mount when I insert them and all I do is right click and clickun mount volume or some word like that
[12:12] <PURESKILLZZZ> foureight84 ^^^^
[12:13] <foureight84> eh?
[12:13] <Rookie-> !easysource
[12:13] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[12:13] <PURESKILLZZZ> they mount auto unless you changed settings ....
[12:13] <foureight84> it's been like that ever since i installed ubuntu
[12:14] <foureight84> it doens't automount after i remove the card and reinsert it

[12:18] <umts_hates_me> does any1 of u know, if there happened some better hardware support fpr umts (3g) usb-box modems ind 6.06 or 6.10?
[12:18] <PURESKILLZZZ> yakumo there already is a live cd why you need a dvd ??
[12:18] <yakumo> i want to convert my AVI video to dvd video is it possible?
[12:18] <hodden> Need help from one with special skills in ubuntu and java j2me jwk.... pls...
[12:18] <PURESKILLZZZ> rbrick you have to have yout sources.list set up correctly dfor the packages you want
[12:19] <brynk> anyone in here using an epson aculaser c1100 printer?
[12:19] <brynk> or something close to that
[12:19] <foureight84> sorry for that my computer froz
[12:19] <foureight84> e
[12:20] <foureight84> like i was saying, my cf card only automounts on startup. but when i remove it, i have to manually remount
[12:20] <rbrick> PURESKILLZZZ - so you meant i have to edit my source list?
[12:20] <AWOSDev> brynk, my last Epson was an LK-80 Dot Matrix, in 1988...but what's your problem?
[12:20] <yakumo> cause i want to watch it on my dvd player.
[12:20] <PURESKILLZZZ> rbrick yes becasue you may be using worng set=up .. make sure if its edgy all is edgy or is breezy all is breezy
[12:21] <brynk> c1100 is not natively supported, i downloaded the drivers, but can't get it to work
[12:21] <rbrick> PURESKILLZZZ - mine is dapper, okay will search around to find out about this thanks :)
[12:21] <brynk> i did it on my last install, but i don't know what i did differently then
[12:22] <foureight84> PURESKILLZZZ, how do i access the option to autodetect my cf card
[12:22] <PURESKILLZZZ> brynk a trick to printers is if u have a win machine install there and add extra drivers with it for linux .. Then share n network and let linux find it .. Drivers will work easier that way when you plug it into the linux machine
[12:22] <hodden> I get "Failed to extract JavaVersionTester class" when trying to install j2me wtk
[12:23] <PURESKILLZZZ> foureight84 not sure which option it is as all my installs it works ...
[12:23] <foureight84> hmm odd
[12:23] <PURESKILLZZZ> I have installed ubuntu now on over 40 machines and laptops
[12:23] <PURESKILLZZZ> Just got serv-u working tonight
[12:24] <PURESKILLZZZ> started with version <IP_ADDRESS> then got <IP_ADDRESS> to work
[12:24] <PURESKILLZZZ> applied to be a super maintainer
[12:24] <yakumo> can DVD Creator convert avi video to dvd?
[12:25] <AWOSDev> I should go to bed now.
[12:25] <AWOSDev> G'night all
[12:25] <PURESKILLZZZ> yakumo dont think so .... Believe you have to convert the avi to mpeg first
[12:25] <RodrigoNSH> Hi, anyone with a funny bug in in network/// ? Appears a mshome under "Windows Networking" with an blank icon that leads to a error popup ... "smb:///mshome" ... then the icon fix itself and links to smb://mshome ?
[12:26] <PURESKILLZZZ> RodrigoNSH when you are setting up your network like with sharing you have to stop and restart the services after you have made any changes
[12:26] <yakumo> how will i convert avi to mpeg?
[12:27] <PURESKILLZZZ> yakumo get an mpeg encoder
 hummm, I'll try that, thanks
[12:27] <sonics> hum, If I just got a .ttf file, where do I have to put it?
[12:27] <PURESKILLZZZ> No Problem !!!!!!!!! anytime

[12:28] <mark_> hm, when I want to make a backup copy of .evolution, it stalls
[12:28] <yakumo> ok
[12:28] <mark_> without any message on the console
[12:29] <mark_> any hints on how to solve this?
[12:29] <Mir1> hey, i dunno how to set up my wlan, is there anyone who got Netgear wgr614 v6 ???
[12:29] <sladen> cp -av .evolution .evolution-backup
[12:29] <mark_> I can't seem to find any hints in /var/log either
[12:29] <mark_> sladen, I know that _should_ be able to do the trick
[12:29] <sonics> RodrigoNSH: theres no such folder
[12:29] <PURESKILLZZZ> ok folks I have help all I can atm I have to sleep now

[12:30] <basanta> does ubuntu have support for SATA hdd?
[12:30] <PURESKILLZZZ> Current Time Time:6:30am Day:Thursday Date:October 19th 2006 TimeZone:GMT -5:00 I-n-v-i-s-i-o-n
[12:30] <sladen> mark_: right, and what happens when you do that?
[12:30] <sonics> ok ill try
[12:30] <sonics> brb
[12:30] <PURESKILLZZZ> basanta worked on 2 machines not on the 3rd ... Depends on motherboard driver
[12:30] <mark_> it just freezes after having copied a few files...
[12:30] <mark_> not that it gives any explicit I/O errors or anything
[12:31] <basanta> PURESKILLZZZ, oh
[12:31] <Mir1> does anyone know how to setup wlan router Netgear wgr614 v6
[12:31] <Mir1> ??? plz
[12:31] <basanta> PURESKILLZZZ, is it determined by the kernel?
[12:32] <PURESKILLZZZ> basanta Yes and also the drivers on the motherboard .. You may have to do a custom install and add drivers if unbuntu doesnt see them
[12:32] <cherubiel> basanta: you talk abt the sata controller support, not the drive
[12:32] <PURESKILLZZZ> Mir1 If I am not wrong its pretty much self explanitory just log into page http://<IP_ADDRESS> and most links are easy to follow
[12:32] <cherubiel> basanta: if the kernel has support for your controller, you are good -
[12:33] <yakumo> anyone familiar with APTonCD?
[12:33] <Guest426> "Bug: soft lockup detected on CPU#0" does anybody know how to fix it? my system is stuck for 2 days now...
[12:33] <sonics> hm I copied to ~/.fonts/ folder and relogged into X but the font isnt there :[
[12:33] <mark_> sladen, sorry, overlooked the -v option
[12:33] <mark_> bit stupid of me
[12:34] <mark_> looking into it right now
[12:34] <opensorcerer> i installed kubuntu-desktop and now when I search in gnome help all I get are kde help results, how do I go back to the original setup?
[12:34] <RodrigoNSH> sonics, strange ... its working here... try ctrl+l
[12:34] <RodrigoNSH> sonics, then fonts://
[12:34] <RodrigoNSH> sonics, in nautilus
[12:34] <gilligan_> Guest426, you may want to try a newer kernel
[12:34] <RodrigoNSH> sonics, paste it i there
[12:35] <mark_> sladen, thx
[12:35] <Mir1> ffs, noone ever got problems with wlan router or what? ))
[12:36] <AWOSDev> bedtime
[12:36] <sonics> uhm, how?! dunno what u mean exactly :)
[12:36] <AWOSDev> G'night all :)
[12:36] <PURESKILLZZZ> To clarify my statement I have installed ubuntu sucessfully on 2 sata systems and the 3rd sata system I couldn't get the correct drivers
[12:36] <AWOSDev> opensorcerer, update-alternatives gdm, then remove all the KDE apps
[12:36] <AWOSDev> no g'night
[12:36] <AWOSDev> s/no/now/
[12:36] <RodrigoNSH> sonics,  in nautilus press ctrl+l the type fonts:// and paste the TTF in this ... place
[12:37] <sladen> mark_: Unix commands by default do not print anything on success.  If you're copying a large amound of email, that will take a *long* time.  '-v' is for 'verbose' which means "print detailed information even if you're successful"
[12:37] <RodrigoNSH> sonics, do not do it as sudo nautilus, it will create a /root/,fonts
[12:38] <PURESKILLZZZ> OK .. Nitey nite folks
[12:38] <teckfatt> hello, i have a external HD using ext3 filesystem, when i plug in to the computer, it show the partition own by the root. can i know how to change to USER right everytime i plug in??
[12:38] <sonics> RodrigoNSH: nuffin happens when I try to paste... agh
[12:39] <Guest426> gilligan, i think i have the latest smp kernel running, i did a complete dist-upgrade yesterday
[12:40] <RodrigoNSH> sonics, humm make sure there is a .fonts in your home... and you have the permissions
[12:40] <Guest426> but even the cd boot brings the same error now
[12:41] <RodrigoNSH> sonics, browse the .fonts and change the permission of the TTF to read/write ... and then restart X

[12:50] <fresch> when i start compiz, the window decorations dissappear and the windows contents are unresponsive. nvidia driver installed and working. any clues?
[12:50] <haboy_> opensorcerer: have you fixed your problem with it??
[12:51] <mnepton> fresch: you might want to read the /topic before continuing
[12:51] <joshier> Guys, I'm really excited about ubuntu 6.10, but I've been fairly busy latley and my ubuntu setup on this laptop went wrong. It was fairly long ago, but I *really* want to fix it because I don't want to setup my graphics, sound, etc all up again. The problem I get is that I installed a big update, and when I try to login, it jumps right back out. Is there any solution? Thanks
[12:51] <fresch> mnepton, so how does a security bug in nvidia relate to my question!?
[12:52] <mnepton> fresch: it relates to yuor question because you're using the nVidia driver, and there is a remote root exploit for it.
[12:52] <mnepton> fresch: which translates to "you probably do not want to use the nVidia driver"
[12:52] <munkay> Mir1: are you able to access the router without any security?
[12:53] <fresch> mnepton, i FAIL to see how this security root exploit relates to "compiz not working right"
[12:53] <haboy_> my ubuntu 6.06 LTS won't start anymore after reformatting windows. but my windows is on a different partition. there is no GRUB BOOT LOADER anymore showing

[12:53] <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
[12:53] <munkay> haboy_: ^^
[12:54] <haboy_> munkay: can you help?
[12:54] <mnepton> fresch: "nVidia driver installed and working" (your words) is translated by anyone caring about system security to "my machine is open to a remote buffer overflow exploit." which is not good.
[12:54] <munkay> haboy_: just follow the instructions line-by-line, its well documented.
[12:55] <haboy_> munkay: thank god i dont have to repeat the backup then reformat thing
[12:55] <cherubiel> heh :)
[12:55] <fresch> mnepton, are you suggestiong i should go and buy a ati card!? all i want is to run compiz. and my xserver isnt accepting ANY tcp connections, so there should NOT be a problem
[12:56] <mnepton> fresch: i'm suggesting, as the /topic says, that you start by switching from the "nvidia" driver to the "nv" driver, and *then* worrying about compiz
[12:56] <haboy_> munkay: does the instruction really meant the "alternate CD" not "Desktop CD" "Live CD" or whatsoever
[12:56] <spocky> hi
[12:56] <bun-bun> fresch# i believe he was merely pointing it out.  furthermore, you just might want to try that other driver and see if it settles your issues
[12:56] <mnepton> fresch: and the X server does not have to accept remote connections
[12:56] <mnepton> it is still vulnerable.
[12:57] <fresch> mnepton, sure, then i wont be able to run compiz, since the nv driver does not do hw accel
[12:57] <mnepton> fresch: which is why i said "you might want to look at the /topic first"
[12:57] <MiCCAS> hi
[12:58] <sonics> uhm, since ubuntu generally creates this automounted harddrives on my desktop, how can I permanently *only* remove them from desktop?
[12:58] <yakumo> anyone familiar using devede?
[12:58] <cherubiel> haboy_:both methods are documented.
[12:58] <rambo3> is there more info about this nvidia bug.
[12:58] <mnepton> rambo3: all over the place. try /.
[12:58] <Windwalker> Hi. Can somebody tell how can I check which package smbspool belongs to
[12:59] <mnepton> it's a buffer overflow relating to bitmap font parsing
[01:00] <mnepton> basically, ask any machine running the nVidia binary blob to render a 1px by 16,000px bitmap font and *boom* buffer overflow on a root process
[01:00] <cherubiel> Windwalker: packages.ubuntu.com
[01:00] <mnepton> so, even visiting a web page can lead to someone having root access to your machine
[01:00] <Windwalker> I forgot the command. There was a command to check this from the console
[01:00] <sonics> how can I remove the harddrives mounted on desktop without umounting them? simply removing them from desktop?
[01:01] <cherubiel> !packages
[01:01] <ubotu> You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, apt-cache, the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com  -  Ubuntu has about 18000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways!
[01:01] <Windwalker> I do not want to install anything
[01:02] <Windwalker> just want to know smbspool to which package belongs with console command. I knew it a month ago..
[01:02] <fresch> mnepton, yeah, ok, nice... so i'll be careful watching images on the web, heck, i wont even SURF the web while having the nvidia driver loaded (which i will continue to do, since I REALLY WANT HW ACCEL). so there. now, how about my compiz problem?
[01:02] <rambo3> NVIDIA's  first public acknowledgement of this bug was on July 7th, 2006. dating back to 2004 .  i dd use nvidia driver
[01:02] <mnepton> fresch: it's any font. in anything. a web page. a text document. anything.
[01:03] <fresch> mnepton, so you are saying my problem could be that compiz is asking to render a crazy image?
[01:03] <joshier> Where is the latest edgy release?
[01:03] <cherubiel> Windwalker: apt-cache search ?
[01:04] <mnepton> fresch: i'm saying that preferring hardware acceleration and eye candy to system security and stability is a really, really poor choice, IMO.
[01:04] <fresch> mnepton, its just my almost always offline desktop machine at home.
[01:04] <Windwalker> cherubiel: Thank you!!!
[01:05] <fresch> mnepton, and i never had any problems with nvidia drivers
[01:05] <mnepton> fresch: cosidering the bug was indetified outside nVidia 4 days ago, that doesn;t surprise me
[01:05] <sharperguy> mnepton, fresch, etc could you take this to #ubuntu-offtopic please?
[01:06] <sonics> how can I remove the harddrives mounted on desktop without umounting them? simply removing them from desktop?
[01:06] <sonics> pllz :D
[01:07] <fresch> nevermind... i'll try to google around, thanks for the (not-)help, anyway
[01:08] <Windwalker> sonics: do you mean icons?
[01:08] <sonics> yups..
[01:08] <MistaED> sonics: run gconf-editor and go >apps>nautilus>desktop> and just tick/untick there
[01:08] <mnepton> you try to help some people ....
[01:08] <sonics> if I try to remove them
[01:08] <Goldwing> ok, stupid question, but i'm trying to install kismet, but apt-cache search kismet, no results, when i go to the http://packages.ubuntu.com/ i can find them, but what is the codename for the 6.06 LTS?????
[01:08] <sonics> yay thxx guys=)
[01:08] <kaning> does anyone know when this month 6.10 is going to be released?
[01:08] <mnepton> Goldwing: Dapper Drake
[01:09] <MistaED> or run configuration editor from applications > system tools > if it's there, usually it's hidden
[01:09] <highvoltage> kaning: seems like a week from now
[01:09] <Goldwing> mnepton : THX.
[01:09] <rambo3> 26 th
[01:09] <kaning> brilliant
[01:09] <kaning> can't wait
[01:09] <mnepton> Goldwing: be sure to enable the Universe and Multiverse repos
[01:09] <spocky> does anyone know a way to syncronize firefox and Konqueror bookmarks?
[01:09] <Goldwing> mnepton : uuuuuhhh???
[01:09] <Windwalker> cd ~/Desktop and then just ls and remove the ones you do not want? I guess this should help
[01:09] <mnepton> Goldwing: got Synaptic open?
[01:09] <hodden> I can't get j2me wtk running on my ubuntu pls... need help!
[01:09] <Goldwing> nope
[01:09] <spocky> where does Konqueror store its bookmarks anyway
[01:09] <MistaED> kaning: the release candidate is today, 19th october
[01:09] <spocky> ?
[01:10] <kaning> no kidding, that snuck up on me
[01:10] <Windwalker> Anybody familiar with printing on both KDE and Gnome to SMB shared printers?
[01:10] <Goldwing> mnepton : now i do
[01:10] <spocky> I did not find anything in ~/.kde
[01:10] <kaning> windwalker: yeah i've done it successfully a few times
[01:10] <mnepton> Goldwing: Settings->Repositories->Add
[01:11] <Windwalker> kaning: I am trying to migrate from Gnome to Kde but minolta 1400W just will not print over smb on XP home
[01:11] <Windwalker> same works with my gnome on Dapper without updates
[01:11] <Goldwing> mnepton Ok
[01:11] <Windwalker> using edgi Kubuntu for the test
[01:11] <Goldwing> mnepton  got it
[01:12] <kaning> i have only used SMP/CUPS in Gnome
[01:12] <Windwalker> kaning: updated all print related packages but no change...
[01:12] <kaning> never tried it in KDE
[01:12] <Windwalker> just like me
[01:12] <davvs> how do i change the update frequency for a monitor in xorg.conf?
[01:12] <Windwalker> no probs...but kde....dont know
[01:12] <kaning> i think i feel more at home with Gnome
[01:13] <Windwalker> the smbspool spools but winxp just holds the spooled job
[01:13] <kaning> how about permissions
[01:13] <tonyyarusso> !fixres > davvs
[01:13] <kaning> ?
[01:13] <Windwalker> The problem is that KDE is lighter than KDE and I intend to run Freenx terminal server
[01:13] <Windwalker> XP home?
[01:13] <Windwalker> what permissions
[01:13] <kaning> yeah
[01:13] <Windwalker> hm
[01:13] <kaning> i take it you have shared the printer
[01:14] <Windwalker> think just kde stufff
[01:14] <Windwalker> course
[01:14] <Windwalker> As I said i see the job spooled in XP home
[01:14] <kaning> oh ok
[01:14] <hikenboot> hello all---anyone know how to remove the nvidia driver if the driver was installed with the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8774-pkg1.run package?
[01:14] <Windwalker> However you might be right I remembered something..
[01:15] <neutrinomass> Is it possible to boot a livecd from the hard disk? I've dd-ed the image to a partition, but I'm not sure how to make grub boot to it ...
[01:15] <hikenboot> I am having difficulties so want to remove it and install with the nvidia package
[01:15] <Windwalker> I tried this again a month ago under XP pro and KDE would not print unless there is 100% user set with password
[01:15] <kaning> that's wierd
[01:15] <Windwalker> on the XP pro I mean...:) Probably this is the problem
[01:15] <kaning> oh ok
[01:16] <rabautz> neutrinomass: Most live-cds bring an own installer
[01:16] <kaning> see what happens
[01:16] <Windwalker> I will try this on xp pro and then see if it matters, but that is really strange
[01:16] <neutrinomass> rabautz: I'm not sure you understood me correctly. I want to boot the livecd image from a hard disk (because I don't have any CDs to write to)
[01:17] <rabautz> neutrinomass: ahh, no - then i didn't understand you ;)
[01:17] <Windwalker> kaning: can you propose an alternative to pessulus.
[01:17] <neutrinomass> (and no floppy and no means of netinstall and I don't really understand the procedures under "installing ubuntu from another distribution"
[01:17] <Windwalker> I am new at linux :(
[01:18] <waylandbill> neutrinomass, That's not an easy thing to do. You'd be installing it manually to the hard drive since you can't boot an iso without virtualization
[01:18] <neutrinomass> waylandbill: I already dd'ed the image...
[01:19] <waylandbill> neutrinomass, you put the files onto a partition? You need to set up the boot loader to find and boot em.
[01:20] <Windwalker> can somebody suggest an alternative of pessulus. I have to secure a terminal server from inside.
[01:20] <neutrinomass> waylandbill: Yes, but how do livecd's boot ? :) I'm not sure grub can boot the image of the cd ...
[01:20] <s_spiff> hey can i install compiz and log into it during bootup? like we do for gnome?
[01:20] <s_spiff> !compiz
[01:20] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[01:20] <waylandbill> neutrinomass, you're probably right. You'd need to modify the fstab.
[01:21] <kaning> s_spiff: check out the wiki at ubuntu. pretty straight
[01:21] <neutrinomass> I'll try the debootstrap solution probably :(
[01:21] <s_spiff> kaning, just doing that.. thanks. sorry for the noobish question
[01:21] <kaning> at the wiki homepage search for composite manager
[01:21] <rabautz> neutrinomass: you could use vmware to boot the CD, that would be easy..
[01:22] <waylandbill> neutrinomass, why not find a disk image from a running linux?
[01:22] <kaning> s_spiff: i'm a noob myself but after three different compiz installations i know where to find it
[01:22] <neutrinomass> waylandbill: Because I want to do a clean install :p
[01:22] <s_spiff> kaning, which is better? beryl? or compiz? i just wanna shift from metacity.
[01:23] <neutrinomass> bah...  :-D
[01:23] <kaning> s_spiff: never tried beryl because i realised my laptop has a weak grapihics card, so i stick to metacity
[01:23] <waylandbill> they're cheap enough these days.
[01:23] <kaning> had to take compiz off as well
[01:24] <kaning> was a shame because it worked really well, the machine was just struggling
[01:24] <neutrinomass> waylandbill: No, I just don't have CDs, no floppy and I can't do a netinstall :-)
[01:24] <waylandbill> neutrinomass, I was thinking a PXE net install, but guess not. :-D
[01:26] <waylandbill> neutrinomass, you can use Qemu or VMware to install the 'clean
[01:26] <waylandbill>  system and tar it up to copy over
[01:27] <``> checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables - anyone know how to fix this ?
[01:28] <``> ..hmm?
[01:29] <jonah1980> hi i'm getting an error "Error activating XKB configuration"
[01:29] <jonah1980> this is what it tell me to include if i bug report: http://pastebin.ca/209847
[01:30] <rabautz> C compiler default output ... : apt-get install build-essential
[01:30] <Bergcube> Does anybody know of a USB bluetooth thingy that works under Ubuntu?  (I have a laptop without bluetooth, and wants to add it...)
[01:31] <jonah1980> how can i exit gnome and get to terminal and close xserver etc to update graphics driver? tried alt-ctrl-f1 but doesn't do anything
[01:33] <miza> crtl-alt-bsp restarts the X-Server AFAIK - dunno if that is of any help
[01:33] <rabautz> jonah1980: /etc/init.d/gdm stop (if u use gdm)
[01:34] <sharperguy> wtf
[01:35] <kaning> bergcube: try sitecomm or something like that
[01:36] <kaning> worked out of the box for mw
[01:36] <kaning> me*
[01:36] <joshier> Could someone hook me up with the latest download (edgy 6.10) ?
[01:37] <hodden> I have a Radeon X300 (PCIE) but can't get it to work proper under ubuntu.... the graphic stops redraving and squars starts poping up.. every thing gets realy messy... anny ide on how to takle this problem ??
[01:37] <Bergcube> kaning~  How cool.  Thanks for the tip!
[01:38] <yarddog_> what is the dpkg command to force an upgrade regardless of deps, or how can I remove all openoffice.org?
[01:38] <damageDOne> Hey guys,  I was wondering if anyone can help me: I recently upgraded from breezy to dapper and have had the following problem. All system sounds, mp3s and movies have static/interference which occurs every two seconds for about 0.5secs to 1 sec. I have an audigy pro 2zs and have checked alsamixergui to ensure the levels are correct. This was not a problem at all on breezy. I have found that there is no problem with sound through firefox or
[01:38] <kaning> welcome
[01:38] <variant> joshier: if you have dapper you can upgrade to edgy very easilly
[01:39] <variant> damageDOne: make sure your programs are using the same audio output plugin as firefox, probably most apps are using oss for some reason while firefox is using alsa.. or the other way round
[01:40] <variant> damageDOne: open totem for example with an audio file
[01:40] <damageDOne> variant: okay. What should they use?
[01:40] <variant> damageDOne: and experiment with the different plugins.. see which is best
[01:40] <ReverseBlade> variant, hi
[01:41] <Code-E> !rar > code-e
[01:41] <alexbodn> hi all
[01:41] <kaning> damageDone: you might want to look at the libmp3xx plugins
[01:41] <alexbodn> i must have confused mozilla somehow, and crashed. when i want to restart it, it complains that the default profile is in use and fails to restart. any idea how to fix this?
[01:42] <damageDOne> variant: Okay I tried opening a sound file with totem and I get the static
[01:42] <kaning> they are not in the conventional repositories
[01:42] <Dimensions> hi is there any Front page style HTML EDITOR in ubuntu ??
[01:43] <alexbodn> Dimensions: try nvu
[01:43] <MistaED> Dimensions: there's nvu and some other one i can't remember
[01:43] <variant> damageDOne: change the output plugin
[01:43] <variant> damageDOne: I am not infront of an ubuntu box right now unfortunatly so i cant do it with you.. its in the preferences somewhere
[01:44] <damageDOne> variant: how do I do that. I've had a look in all the menus and I don't see plugins mentioned
[01:44] <variant> damageDOne: in settings/preferences whatever its called
[01:44] <damageDOne> variant:  oh?
[01:44] <neutrinomass> alexbodn: Hm... take a look in /home/yourusername/.mozilla/firefox/blahblah.default/ , there should be a file named 'lock'
[01:45] <jpjacobs> hi! how do i get rid of the samba password?
[01:45] <alexbodn> thanks. going there!
[01:45] <alexbodn> neutrinomass: should i delete it?
[01:46] <neutrinomass> alexbodn: yes, delete it :-)
[01:46] <alexbodn> deleting, thanks a lot
[01:46] <damageDOne> variant: okay. No sign of any plugins.
[01:47] <variant> damageDOne: sorry, pls wait
[01:47] <neutrinomass> alexbodn: ok now ?
[01:47] <damageDOne> variant: will do!
[01:47] <aixing> hey guys: speaking on nvu.. what is the actuall program that i install called. been looking thru Synaptic and apt-get cant find 'nvu'?
[01:47] <alexbodn> neutrinomass: did it, thanks a lot
[01:47] <tonyyarusso> aixing: You need to enable universe.
[01:47] <tonyyarusso> !universe > aixing
[01:48] <pip> how to change the resolving capability of screen ?
[01:48] <neutrinomass> !resolution
[01:48] <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
[01:48] <pip> it is only 60Hz to choose
[01:48] <variant> damageDOne: sorry, i am at work
[01:48] <variant> damageDOne: ok.. try killing esd
[01:48] <variant> damageDOne: in terminal do killall esd
[01:49] <damageDOne> variant: did it... nope
[01:49] <variant> damageDOne: check esd is no longer running
[01:49] <variant> damageDOne: killall esd again, if it says no such process then its dead if it says nothing then it was still running
[01:50] <damageDOne> variant: sorry... how do I do that?
[01:50] <variant> damageDOne: ^
[01:50] <aixing> tonyyaruso: thnx for that
[01:50] <damageDOne> variant: you are ahead of me...dave@ubuntu:~$ killall esd
[01:50] <damageDOne> esd: no process killed
[01:51] <Administrator> hello I installed a new kernel version 2.6.15 but when I boot it doesn see my network card anymore
[01:51] <bkdd> Hi
[01:51] <PumpkinPie> Administrator: you fucked up
[01:51] <Administrator> are there any serious ppl arround?
[01:52] <bkdd> when i try to connect to a ssh server via 'ssh' i get the error Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive). at my client what to do ?
[01:52] <variant> damageDOne: ok, so it was killed then
[01:52] <damageDOne> variant: yep
[01:52] <variant> damageDOne: apt-get install alsaplayer
[01:53] <compengi> can someone guild me how to upgrade from gaim 2.0beta3.1 to 2.0beta4?
[01:53] <variant> damageDOne: its good for troubleshooting
[01:53] <damageDOne> variant: okay
[01:53] <variant> damageDOne: then do alsaplayer /path/to/file
[01:53] <variant> compengi: do you really need to?
[01:55] <alexbodn> bye friends
 can someone guild me how to upgrade from gaim 2.0beta3.1 to 2.0beta4?    <--------- lol
[01:55] <compengi> PumpkinPie, ?
[01:55] <damageDOne> variant: okay. I played a track and it's got static
[01:56] <PumpkinPie> why not skip to an alpha version? it probably works better
[01:56] <compengi> PumpkinPie, you mean 1.5?
[01:57] <PumpkinPie> dont be a beta version whore
[01:57] <PumpkinPie> like people that run windows vista
[01:57] <variant> damageDOne: I had this problem with vlc and some movie files
[01:57] <variant> damageDOne: but not to the extent you are
[01:57] <variant> damageDOne: if you play audio in firefox is it always fine? like flash site audio, streaming audio etc.. all fine?
[01:58] <damageDOne> variant: just in case this info helps: I did a cold reboot at one stage and it went away. Then it came back after a reboot at one point and a cold restart doesn't affect it anymore.
[01:58] <damageDOne> variant: I watched some flicks on YouTube and I played a flash game and both of them work fine.
[01:59] <variant> damageDOne: hmm
[01:59] <Enselic> If I want to record a video tutorial on GIMP, what program should I use?
[02:00] <variant> Enselic: xscreencap
[02:00] <damageDOne> variant: I just tried it with konqueror too.... and it's fine.
[02:00] <variant> Enselic: or vnc2swf
[02:01] <waspius> hi...does gnome use more resources than kde?
[02:01] <cheesy> good question waspius :)
[02:01] <Enselic> waspius: When doing what task?
[02:02] <variant> waspius: when idle, with default settings.. i have no idea. install both and test :)
[02:02] <variant> waspius: i am inclined to think that kde is more resource hog than gnome
[02:02] <Enselic> variant: Oh what a coincidence, I belive the same
[02:02] <variant> waspius: but really if your concerned (or even if your not) you should try xfce4.4
[02:03] <damageDOne> variant: I don't suppose you can suggest anywhere else I can try to look for the answer?
[02:03] <Alan-D> Could someboty help me concern clamav please
[02:03] <variant> waspius: xfce4.4 is miles ahead of kde/gnome in terms of system usage and its very very slick
[02:03] <damageDOne> variant: and don't say google. :)
[02:03] <variant> damageDOne: I am thinking the alsa mailinglist
[02:03] <variant> damageDOne: /join #alsa
[02:03] <MistaED> waspius: there was a test benchmark of gnome vs kde vs xfce vs windowmaker, in that test gnome used the most ram (i'll try digging it up for you)
[02:04] <damageDOne> variant: Thanks for everything. ciao
[02:04] <Enselic> variant: Neither of those apps seems to be available through apt-get
[02:04] <cheesy> MistaED: do you have the link?
[02:04] <variant> damageDOne: gl
[02:04] <MistaED> waspius: but in my experience with an old 128mb ram laptop, i've found kde to be the uttermost worst, followed by gnome still being usable, and xfce being tolerable
[02:04] <variant> Enselic: what apps?
[02:04] <Jhonny1009> is xgl easy installable on ubuntu 6.06?
[02:04] <Enselic> variant: xscreencap and vnc2swf
[02:04] <MistaED> cheesy: looking now
[02:04] <waspius> MistaED: so u would say that gnome is better
[02:05] <variant> Enselic: sorry that should be xvidcap
[02:05] <cowbud> is there a utility to look at io on a per process basis?
[02:05] <cheesy> Jhonny1009: use #ubuntu-xgl
[02:05] <compengi> variant, so can you guild me through that process?
[02:05] <Enselic> variant: Doesnt apt-get suport eiteher :
[02:05] <variant> compengi: what process?
[02:05] <Jhonny1009> will try cheesy, thx
[02:05] <variant> Enselic: i thought it would have
[02:05] <cheesy> np
[02:05] <MistaED> waspius: i'd say yes, although with gnome + openoffice vs kde + koffice it might be different, it really depends on your system specs
[02:05] <compengi> variant, to upgrade gaim
[02:06] <waspius> MistaED: ok
[02:06] <variant> compengi: why would you want to? download the source and compile it

[02:06] <MistaED> waspius, cheesy: http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/memory/
[02:07] <compengi> variant, is this is a source for ubuntu gaim-2.0.0-0.beta4.fc1.i386.rpm?

[02:07] <waspius> MistaED: thanx

[02:07] <kisyam> Hi all, pls i need help some help pls, when i type this(sudo apt-get install build-essential) at the terminal, it return error
[02:08] <variant> kisyam: type it without the ()
[02:08] <kisyam> yes
[02:08] <Slaj_R> Question -- I added this line to the Applications menu in Gnome: "cd /home/lyle/Music; vi Best_Songs". It works when typed at the $ prompt, but not when clicked in the gnome menu.  What happens instead is the terminal flickers on, then off.
[02:08] <Enselic> variant: Nope :) thanks for the attempts though, seems as if xvidcap is what I want, ill install it manually
[02:08] <smoser> any one have any hints: I can send mail with evolution.  However, forwarding mail dies silently.
[02:08] <variant> kisyam: what is the error? if it is long put it on nopaste.org
[02:08] <kisyam> variant, i typed just in ()
[02:08] <smoser> i'm on dapper

[02:09] <kisyam> variant, it return : could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 permission denied)
[02:09] <MistaED> waspius, cheesy: to be truthful, i'm not sure what makes ubuntu slow but i've now installed some slackware-based distro called zenwalk 3 onto this said laptop and found extreme performance increases, it uses the latest xfce for the desktop
[02:09] <Enselic> variant: Thanks a lot
[02:09] <kisyam> variant : and it returns here too : E: Unable to lock the list directory
[02:10] <edscho> Anyone know what the Debian way is to replace an official package (beagle) by one built from source? Removing the package with apt-get will also remove dependencies. Can I make a stub package to prevent this?
[02:10] <cheesy> MistaED: the test is interesting, never thought gnome uses more memory than kde
[02:12] <kaning> running update-manager on test machine now. so far so good
[02:12] <jonah1980> hi i'm back yet again. ok it's driving me bonkers! when i install the nvidia driver or the beta driver which is the one i tried last cos thought it might work, x server doesn't start and says there's an api mismatch and the kernel-module and the driver version numbers don't match or something!! so i have to edit xorg.conf and put "nv" and reboot to get things working again. been trying to get an nvidia driver working for 3 and half hours
[02:12] <jonah1980>  now - it used to work fine when i upgraded to edgy, but then i tried installing newer driver to use compiz etc - what am i doing wrong?
[02:14] <edscho> jonah1980: don't know, sorry. i gave up on the binary nvidia driver. i now stick with nv and my life's now much simpler.
[02:14] <rabautz> jonah1980: apt-get install nvidia-glx
[02:15] <edscho> Anyone know what the Debian way is to replace an official package (beagle) by one built from source? Removing the package with apt-get will also remove dependencies. Can I make a stub package to prevent this?
[02:15] <variant> kisyam: you must have annother program open like synaptic or auto updater
[02:16] <jonah1980> rabautz, it says it's already the newest version
[02:16] <mnepton> jonah1980: using the nvidia driver is a very bad idea right now
[02:16] <variant> jonah1980: not an answer to your question but you dont need to reboot under those circumstances, just run /etc/init.d/gdm restart (from an xterm or virtual terminal)
[02:16] <whitehorseNTiger> quick question...how do I know the correct keymap I am currently using.
[02:17] <mnepton> jonah1980: the nv driver is the best bet until nVidia wakes up
[02:17] <variant> untill nvidia release specs for there hardware..
[02:17] <user____> mnepton... there was something about the nvidia driver on the (web) news today... what happened?
[02:17] <kisyam> variant : sorry, i am really new to ubuntu , how can i know that synaptic is installed in my ubuntu (is it automatically installed with breezy) ?
[02:17] <mnepton> or "Return Of The Blob" appears in theaters
[02:18] <kisyam> variant : or may be i have to download the program?
[02:18] <variant> kisyam: yes its installed, you need to make sure its not running, thats why you get those errors
[02:18] <mnepton> user____: buffer overflow root exploit in bitmap font rednering routines
[02:18] <variant> kisyam: close all open programs on your desktop (not this irc though) to be sure
[02:18] <rabautz> jonah1980: Fo rme that was all. Installing the package and changing nv to nvidia - i have this from the german ubuntu wiki - article Xgl - i think it is just a translation of the official Wiki-article so look ther
[02:18] <user____> mnepton.. shit
[02:18] <MistaED> jonah1980: you're probably using dapper so this wouldn't work, but if you have edgy eft add this to your repos: deb http://amaranth.selfip.com edgy lrm
[02:19] <jstew> Hi. How do I add a truetype font to ubuntu?
[02:19] <Alakazamz0r> http://news.com.com/Windows+virus+worms+onto+some+Apple+iPods/2100-7349_3-6126804.html?tag=nl
[02:19] <variant> !fonts
[02:19] <jstew> I see I have a /usr/share/fonts/truetype dir
[02:19] <ubotu> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto
[02:19] <ubotu> No fonts in flash? Install msttcorefonts, gsfonts, and gsfonts-x11 , No fonts in mplayer? see !mplayer
[02:19] <mnepton> jonah1980: you do not need to install the nvidia binary blob. it is part of the Restricted repo and installed by default.
[02:19] <waspius> how do i change my source list in gnome?
[02:19] <MistaED> jonah1980: this contains the latest nvidia driver release in-sync with the edgy kernel updates
[02:19] <variant> jstew: ^
[02:19] <jstew> ty ubotu and variant
[02:19] <variant> waspius: open gnome-terminal ant type sudo nano -w /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:19] <jstew> I guess ubotu is a bot lol
[02:19] <waspius> variant: thanx
[02:20] <variant> jstew: correct :)
[02:20] <Toma-> jstew: uyesu :)
[02:20] <jonah1980> MistaED, funny you should say that cos got edgy so it should work, but i'm amd64 so it won't let me add the repo source
[02:20] <kisyam> variant : ic, thanks
[02:21] <MistaED> jonah1980: ah bugger
[02:21] <variant> kisyam: apt-get is the program you use to install other programs (as your aware) any other program like synaptic that allows you to install software is also just an interface to the apt program (actually apt is just an interface to dpkg :)
[02:21] <jonah1980> MistaED, is my problem cos i'm on 64bit do you think? they've not "synced" yet or whatever
[02:22] <whitehorseNTiger> What is the default keymap for Ubuntu?  'locate us.kmap' gives me too many options.
[02:22] <MistaED> jonah1980: amaranth probably doesn't make an amd64 nvidia module, which sucks
[02:23] <MistaED> although i'm forever grateful for the i386 release of it :)
[02:23] <jonah1980> MistaED, is there anywhere else i can get one?
[02:23] <patient> Hi jonah1980
[02:24] <jonah1980> patient, hi there
[02:24] <patient> Where u at, i'm in Kinshasa
[02:24] <jonah1980> i don't even know what this api mismatch thing means
[02:24] <MistaED> jonah1980: hmm probably not, but try searching the forums
[02:24] <jonah1980> patient, i'm at york, england uk
[02:24] <compengi> what are differences in releases between edgy and dapper?
[02:25] <compengi> i mean what are the new updates in edgy
[02:25] <jonah1980> compegi, gotta say the main one is they've rounded of the bottom side window corners! yeah!!
[02:25] <Toma-> compengi: updated numbers basically
[02:25] <jrib> compengi: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyEft see the beta release page
[02:26] <Matii> err:wave:OSS_OpenDevice ioctl(/dev/dsp, SNDCTL_DSP_SETTRIGGER, 3) failed (Broken pipe)
[02:26] <mnepton> jonah1980: the binary nVidia driver is *included* with Ubuntu. you don;t have to download anything.
[02:26] <MistaED> jonah1980: this is where i got that repo from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263851 they might have an amd64 repository somewhere in the thread
[02:27] <Delano> Yo
[02:27] <mnepton> jonah1980: even so, i would not use it. there is a giant, terrible security hole.
[02:27] <Delano> What other WMs do you get for Ubuntu besides KDE, XFCE, GNOME and Blackbox?
[02:27] <MistaED> does the 9625/9626 driver suffer from the security hole?
[02:27] <patient> Since u'r usin' Ub?
[02:28] <mnepton> MistaED: anything except the beta driver (which doesn;t work for 90% of people) has the bug.
[02:28] <jonah1980> mneption, but i downloaded the beta driver from nvidia as the .run installer thing so surely that includes everything i should need, so what's with this mismatch thing?
[02:29] <MistaED> jonah1980: the mismatch is caused by the nvidia driver installed from the repos, so you've constantly got to reinstall the driver whenever you boot into ubuntu before getting into xorg, which is one big pain in the butt
[02:29] <MistaED> (reinstall the .run one from nvidia that is)
[02:29] <mnepton> jonah1980: that beta driver works only on Edgy, and even then only for a small subset of users. it's a beta.
[02:29] <Matii> Can someone me wiht ventrilo? When I press the speaking key this comes to console :err:wave:OSS_OpenDevice ioctl(/dev/dsp, SNDCTL_DSP_SETTRIGGER, 3) failed (Broken pipe)
[02:29] <Delano> Hey, I need help with video card drivers
[02:30] <Matii> I'm using it with wine
[02:30] <jonah1980> oh well i'll jsut have to give up i guess for now
[02:30] <mnepton> jonah1980: the best bet for now is to just use the nv driver
[02:30] <MistaED> matii: use winecfg, and go under audio and make sure you pick alsa instead of the oss default
[02:31] <compengi> which is better, to upgrade into edgy or format and install?
[02:31] <Matii> MistaED: when i press the audio, winecfg crashes
[02:31] <variant> compengi: ifyou have an existing install just upgrade
[02:31] <jonah1980> mneption, only prob is i would like to use compiz, which isn't working with nv driver, when i enable the gl desktop i just lose the borders and titlebars from my windows
[02:31] <MistaED> Matii: yes this happened to me sadly also, you need to update your wine version if you can
[02:32] <variant> jonah1980: nv driver only supports 2d acceleration
[02:32] <Matii> ALSA lib pcm_dsnoop.c:559:(snd_pcm_dsnoop_open) unable to open slave, Creating link /home/matii/.kde/socket-loota., can't create mcop directory

[02:32] <MistaED> Matii: no idea really, winehq.com should say
[02:32] <Matii> Oh It's 0.9.23 and I have Wine 0.9.23
[02:33] <noname> can some one help me with totem?
[02:33] <apokryphos> !helpme
[02:33] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:33] <MistaED> Matii: oh... hmm, try searching for the solution on the forums :S it's a fairly well known bug
[02:33] <Matii> MistaED: Ok thanks
[02:33] <nameco> is there a runnable bittorrent in ubuntu like micro torrent  that you can choose any files inside the torrent?
[02:33] <MistaED> np

[02:34] <apokryphos> nameco: I think it's possible even with azureus, but ktorrent definitely does it
[02:34] <noname> alright it keeps throwing errors when running mpeg maybe im just stupid but i can hardly get any movies to play
[02:34] <nameco> thks!
[02:34] <apokryphos> noname: please read the FAQ first
[02:35] <nameco> apokryphos, does ktorrent run in ubuntu 5.10?

[02:38] <Alakazamz0r> XiXaQ: a deamon
[02:39] <chrissturm_> i need to buy an usb2 hub, and i'd like to know if there are performance differences or if i can just go with the cheapest
[02:39] <XiXaQ> Alakazamz0r, I didn't understand that reply.
[02:39] <Alakazamz0r> it has a background service
[02:39] <XiXaQ> so then it does download messages even if I close the program?
[02:39] <eXistenZ> What RSS viewer do you guys prefer?
[02:41] <TeemuR> hi! how can i use the GUI as root?
[02:41] <jstew> XiXaQ: I dont believe that evolution does that
[02:42] <Alan-D> Does anybody here use clamav virus software?
[02:42] <jstew> There may be an option to deamonize evoltion but I never used it when I used th evolution client
[02:43] <jstew> I use it on my mail server Alan-D
[02:43] <brynk> TeemuR: you have to enable the root user first, it's not a very good idea though..
[02:43] <rabautz> Alan-D: Yes
[02:43] <jstew> Why would you want to use X as root?
[02:43] <Alan-D> Jstew: I'am having problems install it. Can you help me?
[02:43] <jstew> dangerous.
[02:43] <jstew> Whats the problem Alan-D?
[02:44] <Delano> Yeah
[02:44] <Delano> X as root is dangerous indeed
[02:44] <Delano> I messed up my xorg.conf like that
[02:44] <apokryphos> and there's no need to ever do it
[02:44] <jstew> I feel naughty runnign mythtv fromtend suid root even
[02:45] <Delano> I would disagree
[02:45] <Alan-D> I did the apt-get....clamva.  The application tranferred, but I can't find the install application to setup the mail address and scheduler
[02:45] <Matii> I get this error in console when speaking in ventrilo running via wine: err:wave:OSS_OpenDevice ioctl(/dev/dsp, SNDCTL_DSP_SETTRIGGER, 3) failed (Broken pipe)
[02:45] <Delano> If you're dumb enough - like me - to mess your system up as root, then you souldn't have a computer :oD
[02:45] <jstew> I think you need extra software to use clamav in that way
[02:45] <jstew> leeme check
[02:46] <mnepton> Alan-D: are you running a mail server?
[02:47] <Alan-D> jstew:I try to install 2 ways throught the apt-get and through the gui install
[02:47] <Alan-D> Jstew: same results
[02:47] <AngryElf_> why is it that packages(mysql5, apache2) are constantly out of date espescially when there are known vulnerabilities to the versions in ubuntu published on the products websites?
[02:47] <Alan-D> mnepton: no a file server
[02:47] <jstew> Hmm... clamav-deamon should give you the service
[02:48] <mnepton> Alan-D: ah, so you want it scanning local drives with files that are accessible to Windows users?
[02:48] <Alan-D> jstew: How can I check it?
[02:48] <foxpaul> hi all. i seem to have messed up my root directory when installing some software - /root isn't readable by root - is there a way to fix?
[02:48] <Alan-D> mnepton: yes
[02:49] <mnepton> Alan-D: is there a clam-ish entry in /etc/init.d ?
[02:49] <jstew> You need a cron job to scedule scans Alan-D
[02:49] <jstew> 00 00 * * *  sudo clamscan -r /location_of_files_or_folders
[02:49] <Alan-D> I use to the windows version and would like to use it for my ubuntu server

[02:53] <jstew> cervisia maybe Toma-?
[02:53] <mnepton> zeroinc: GNOME vs KDE is a personal choice. i myself find GNOME far superior. and that has nothing to do with my membership in the GNOME Foundation. ;)
[02:53] <greguti> and uname -a gives me " 2.6.17-10-386 #2 Fri Oct 13 18:41:40 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux"

[02:54] <Tallen> Trying to install to notebook with no CD-ROM and no ability to boot from Network. I have a DSL boot floppy (with USB Flash Drive) and I would like to somehow boot via that and then install Xubuntu. Any ideas?
[02:54] <jstew> I like both gnome and KDE but I go with gnome because it's the default ubuntu desktop
[02:54] <lostatc> I have three P2 computers laying in the basement. Is there a way to install linux on them and have them all act as one machine?
[02:54] <zeroinc> thanks variant
[02:54] <Icer> hi
[02:54] <jstew> theres realy nothing special about either IMHOP
[02:54] <Tallen> I can copy the contents of the Xubuntu Install CD to the Flash drive, is there a install 'script'  I can run via console?
[02:54] <Ropechoborra> is edgy stable and safe for upgrade now?
[02:54] <greguti> but I do have a linux-image-2.6.15-27-686 package already installed.
[02:54] <mnepton> lostatc: grab the No-Strach Press book on Linux clustering
[02:55] <mnepton> *Starch
[02:55] <jstew> lostatc: nope. not unless you want to make a cluster out of them. Waste of time for your purposes probably though
[02:55] <lostatc> is that what its called?
[02:55] <chrishoeppner> Hi
[02:55] <variant> lostatc: yes, install whatever distro (i reccomend a light gentoo isntall) and run openmosix cluster on them
[02:55] <greguti> So why is it that ubuntu keeps on using the 386 version? Is it safe just to delete it via Synaptic?
[02:55] <Icer> please isnt here someone to help me with firefox download?i can download any .deb in ubuntu:(
[02:55] <Icer> *cant
[02:55] <chrishoeppner> Icer, what's the problem?
[02:56] <variant> lostatc: I did it myself with a bunch of old computers once, very fun but not really very usefull unless you do heavy computational tasks
[02:56] <chrishoeppner> have you checked the repositories?
[02:56] <lostatc> Oh not really. I build websites
[02:56] <jstew>  yes greg, as long as you have a known good working kernel and a backup too
[02:56] <Alan-D> jstew: here is the result of the clamscan  " bash: 00: command not found
[02:56] <variant> lostatc: unless you want to do it for fun, its not worth it.. if you have a heavily used database it could be usefull i suppose
[02:56] <chrishoeppner> Icer, does apt-get update work?
[02:56] <jstew> That goes in your crontab Alan-D
[02:57] <jstew> do you know about cron yet?
[02:57] <lostatc> I thought perhaps that if i linked them somehow perhaps several p2 machines would perhaps have enough power that is greater
[02:57] <jstew> man cron
[02:57] <jstew> man 5 crontab
[02:57] <Icer> every time i click on the link of something( .deb package for something) a new window appear and i

[02:57] <Ropechoborra> is edgy stable and safe for upgrade now?
[02:57] <Icer> click on the savetodisk button
[02:57] <Icer> but it saves nothing:(
[02:57] <Alan-D> jstew  can I do the command directly?
[02:58] <jstew> not really variant database is usually mostly disk IO, and clusters suck for disk IO
[02:58] <lostatc> What would the processor strength be if you liked in a cluster 3 or 4 p2 machines
[02:58] <jstew> clamscan -r /<dir>
[02:58] <Alan-D> jstew ok
[02:58] <AngryElf_> Icer: why are you downloading debs and not using apt-get or synaptic?
[02:58] <Icer> chrishoeppner:yes it works
[02:58] <jstew> I'd rather just use all the P2's for something like distcc
[02:58] <Icer> AngryElf_:ok i will try it
[02:59] <lostatc> What is distcc?
[02:59] <jstew> distributed c compiler
[02:59] <Alakazamz0r> lol@the name angry elf.
[02:59] <lostatc> I dont program
[02:59] <Alakazamz0r> lol
[02:59] <jstew> google it. very useful if you build lots of software
[02:59] <AngryElf_> arr

[03:00] <Xzanron> how do i force an unlock of apt-get ?
[03:01] <txoof> Xzanron: remove the lock file.  Probably in /var/lock
[03:01] <txoof> Xzanron: make sure that apt REALLY isn't running before you do that.
[03:01] <txoof> ps aux|grep apt

[03:12] <WonderWal> teledyn_: cacti does bw?
[03:12] <patrick_king> how do i kill xserver to install nvidia drivers
[03:12] <jstew> patrick_king: /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[03:12] <HumanPrototype> patrick_king, ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a console then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop or kdm stop if your in kde
[03:13] <jstew> or killall X
[03:13] <patrick_king> cheers
[03:13] <HumanPrototype> patrick_king, if you want to use chat then use irssi from the console
[03:13] <jstew> irssi rules
[03:13] <HumanPrototype> jstew, too true
[03:13] <notwist> jstew: quite indeed
[03:14] <HumanPrototype> how do I edit the menu in xfce?
[03:14] <jstew> I remember during my gentoo days being able to chat with irssi while installing gentoo. Invaluable
[03:14] <HumanPrototype> jstew, i just kept getting halfway, having a problem and giving up on gentoo before coming back a month or so later
[03:15] <jstew> I got sick of having to compile everything.
[03:15] <jstew> It is gentoos greatest blesing, also it's greatest curse
[03:15] <HumanPrototype> jstew, thats why i came back to ubuntu after about 4 days of almost solid compiling (i screwed up on the kde libs several times)
[03:16] <xamox> can someone tell me what I need to do for something like this: I have apache installed(w/ a CMS).  The CMS use's e-mail for registration. I don't need a full blown mail server. I just want my server to send out e-mails for registrations, subscriptions, etc.  What mail server do I need and what do I need to do to set it up? (I have installed postfix but doesn't seem to be working, but I'm guessing I don't have configured properly).
[03:16] <jstew> yeah. I still use gentoo for some things, namely my mythtv box. I play around with the source quite a bti on that
[03:16] <hutchGuy> does anyone know how to watch the last few bits of dmesg every 5 secs ?
[03:17] <jstew> use relayhost xamox
[03:17] <jstew> relayhost = <your.isp.mailserver>
[03:17] <patrick_king> i have done sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop but it complains that xserver is still running
[03:17] <xamox> jstew:  is that from command line or in a config file?
[03:18] <Icer> AngryElf_:maybe i could install mozilla browser in synaptic...maybe it will work better...
[03:18] <HumanPrototype> hutchGuy, i think there is a program that runs on the desktop similar to conky that outputs a text file so u cld try getting that to do it
[03:18] <zeroinc> guys can someone explain to me how ubuntu recognizes itself as a dualboot with windows already on another partition plz
[03:18] <jstew> in main.cf xamox
[03:18] <xamox> jstew:  alright, thx.
[03:18] <hutchGuy> HumanPrototype: in gnome-terminal
[03:18] <jstew> hutchGuy: man watch
[03:18] <hutchGuy> watch tail -f | dmesg give garble
[03:19] <xamox> jstew:  now when I due the dfeault config, do I want it to be an internet site, internet site w/ smarthost, or satiellite?
[03:19] <bora> hi everyone
[03:19] <patrick_king> i have done sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop but it Nvidia instal complains that xserver is still running
[03:19] <bora> I woould like to help
[03:19] <bora> about ubuntu
[03:19] <Rothguard> zen !!!!
[03:19] <jstew> watch -n 5 sudo tail -n 5 /var/log/dmesg
[03:20] <chrishoeppner> Icer, just tell me this. what do you get back when you type `sudo apt-get install firefox` ?
[03:20] <jstew> Hmm youre using some sort of setup program xamox? I always just edited the main.cf by hand
[03:20] <jstew> probably internet site with smarthost
[03:20] <jstew> relayhost will be your "smarthost"
[03:21] <bora> need  help for setup  xmms
[03:21] <bora> anybody can help me
[03:21] <bora> about this
[03:21] <cherubiel> bora: any specific issues?
[03:21] <jstew> how does that work out for you hutchGuy?
[03:21] <hutchGuy> jstew: not /var/log/dmesg . thanks btw, it's the /usr/bin/dmesg
[03:21] <xamox> jstew:  I did a dpkg-reconfigure postfix
[03:21] <hutchGuy> i need to redirect here.
[03:22] <jstew> /var/log/dmesg will give you the same thing though.
[03:22] <jstew> and it's easy to just tail it
[03:22] <hutchGuy> jstew: no
[03:22] <JairunCaloth> Just a quick question, do different installs of linux need different swap partitions?
[03:22] <patrick_king> !nvidia
[03:22] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:22] <watson540> anyone know how to change framebuffer resoluttion without having to reboot?
[03:23] <jstew> youre right hutch.
[03:23] <JairunCaloth> ex. can I dual boot ubuntu and gentoo and have both use the same swap partition
[03:23] <bora> Dear cherubiel
[03:23] <Icer> chrishoeppner:Reading Package Lists... Done
[03:23] <Icer> Building Dependency Tree... Done
[03:23] <Icer> E: Couldn't find package firefox
[03:23] <kaffeewoller> hi, i need some help, please. i cannot add a printer in cups
[03:23] <bora> I am a news linux user
[03:24] <kaffeewoller> because the dialog won't open
[03:24] <kaffeewoller> what is wrong?
[03:24] <kaffeewoller> :)
[03:24] <jstew> How about this then hutchGuy? watch -n 5 "dmesg | tail -n 5"
[03:24] <Icer> chrishoeppner:but i have firefox ... i can browse www with it
[03:24] <chrishoeppner> Icer, it's installed by default.
[03:25] <jstew> JairunCaloth: I dont see why not since swap is volatile by nature
[03:25] <cherubiel> bora: are you stuck somewhere or you don't know where to start?
[03:25] <kaffeewoller> he just says, loading printer database, but never stop
[03:25] <kaffeewoller> s
[03:25] <hutchGuy> jstew: thanks :) does the job
[03:25] <chrishoeppner> Icer, however, it seems like firefox is not in the repositories you've got listed.
[03:25] <bora> and  I was install Ubuntu but cannot  xmms,firefox  and thunderbird
[03:25] <jrib> kaffeewoller: try running gnome-cups-add from a terminal and see if you get any meaningful output
[03:25] <talldave> i am following a tutorial about writing scripts, but i am lost with path names, i was told to mkdir bin then move script into bin and it will work, but it dosent
[03:25] <jstew> sorry abuot the confusion hutch
[03:25] <kaffeewoller> jrib: ok
[03:25] <Icer> chrishoeppner:aha!
[03:25] <JairunCaloth> jstew: thanks, just wanted to double check before I screwed something up
[03:26] <bora> yeah I dont konw where to start  can you help me
[03:26] <jrib> talldave: what do you mean by "work"
[03:26] <cherubiel> bora: open up a terminal, type sudo apt-get install xmms
[03:26] <kaffeewoller> jrib: i dont get any output
[03:26] <kaffeewoller> it just hangs
[03:26] <cherubiel> sudo apt-get install xmms
[03:26] <kaffeewoller> with full cpu load
[03:26] <jrib> kaffeewoller: what are you executing?
[03:26] <hutchGuy> jstew: :)
[03:26] <cherubiel> then, sudo apt-get install firefox
[03:26] <kaffeewoller> gnome-cups-add
[03:26] <talldave> jrib its a basic hello world echo but i get command not found
[03:26] <cherubiel> sudo apt-get install mozilla-thunderbird
[03:27] <cherubiel> those three commands should give you xmms, firefox and thunderbird bora
[03:27] <jrib> kaffeewoller: try restarting cups, sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart, not sure what else to suggest
[03:27] <kaffeewoller> jrib: i had turboprint installed, then deinstalled.
[03:28] <jrib> talldave: ok, what is the full path to your script?
[03:28] <kaffeewoller> jrib: and i installd these packages from the ubuntuusers page to get my canon ip3000 running, which i dont
[03:28] <shredder> Icer: automatix can set upp all repositories for you if you're not sure how to edit sources.list yourself. http://www.getautomatix.com/
[03:29] <kaffeewoller> ahh!
[03:29] <xamox> jstew:  My relay host is setup to what it should be. But it's still not working. :(
[03:29] <talldave> jrib: sorry, i think its in home/dave/bin
[03:29] <kaffeewoller> something happened...
[03:29] <talldave> jrib: thats where the tutorial said to put it
[03:30] <jrib> talldave: so if you type '/home/dave/bin/name_of_program' it should work.  You can only do 'name_of_program' if you add /home/dave/bin to your PATH variable
[03:30] <Icer> shredder:thanks:)
[03:30] <jstew> maybe your isp is having problems.
[03:30] <jstew> check your /var/log/mail.log xamox
[03:30] <xamox> jstew:  alright, one sec.
[03:31] <hutchGuy> dmesg keeps reporting that my inode is being dirtied by *lots* of the process.
[03:31] <talldave> jrib: think i got the first bit
[03:31] <talldave> jrib: so how do i set the path
[03:31] <kaffeewoller> it opens after much time
[03:31] <jstew> or your mailer is not set to postfix maybe?
[03:31] <kaffeewoller> and reports some double driver thingies...
[03:32] <kaffeewoller> two printers have the same driver or stuff
[03:32] <kaffeewoller> and this many times.
[03:32] <jrib> talldave: export PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}"      do you understand what this does?
[03:32] <talldave> jrib: no i don't understand the command
[03:32] <hutchGuy> [17229082.420000]  sh(12082): dirtied inode 393608 (LC_CTYPE) on sda2
[03:32] <Icer> chrishoeppner:so the point is : i should reinstall firefox from repository...i have reinstalled it in synaptic but its probably reinstall from local bin in this case...
[03:33] <hutchGuy> ?
[03:33] <hutchGuy> can anyone point out what's going on ?
[03:33] <xamox> jstew:  mailer? the relay host?
[03:33] <jrib> talldave: ok export is the way to set a variable.  And you are making PATH equal to ~/bin:${PATH} which is ~/bin with a colon and then whatever PATH currently is
[03:33] <Decadent> does anybody knows how can i lock a pdf??
[03:34] <jstew> No, what I'm saying is are you really useign sendmail when you think youre using postfix? :)
[03:34] <jrib> talldave: do this to see what PATH looks like now:   echo $PATH
[03:34] <jstew> Decadent: Adobe acrobat.
[03:34] <chrishoeppner> Icer, surely. do and `apt-get clean` and then `apt-get update`, followed closely by a `apt-get install firefox`, but make sure to have universe and multiverse repo's added.
[03:34] <Touqen> What packages do I need to have a working build environment?
[03:35] <jrib> Touqen: build-essential plus whatever deps you need
[03:35] <cherubiel> Touqen: apt-get install build-essential
[03:35] <Touqen> gracias
[03:35] <xamox> jstew:  Ahh, it's working, after looking at my mail.log it said that my domain can't be localhost, I changed it to what it should be, thx!
[03:35] <jstew> good deal
[03:35] <Touqen> crap
[03:36] <netg> hi I'm looking for an how-to explaining how to compile a single kernel module
[03:36] <talldave> jrib :
[03:36] <talldave> /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:directory:/bin
[03:36] <bertugolu> I have done sudo apt-get install wine, to get wine....now from where do i run it?
[03:36] <Decadent> jstew, there is only acroread which is only for reading pdfs I want to lock a pdf I've created
[03:37] <notwist> Is there any way in ubuntu to show CPU and bandwidth load on the desktop? I use gnome
[03:38] <fnf> bertugolu: 'man wine' should reveal a lot, in short: wine *.exe will work
[03:38] <teledyn> top and iptraf?
[03:38] <frying_fish> notwist: gdesklets
[03:38] <zool2005> notwist: try gkrellm
[03:38] <bertugolu> ok
[03:38] <notwist> um.. one is enough
[03:38] <notwist> :)
[03:38] <jrib> talldave: right, and after running the export command I gave you, that output should look different
[03:38] <Icer> shredder:theres a nice robot on that site:)...but it doesnt work today:(
[03:38] <jstew> Decadent: I'm not aware of linux software to do that
[03:38] <seraphim> notwist: you could simply add the system-monitor to the panel
[03:38] <Decadent> ok thanks :)
[03:38] <kjempe> hi
[03:39] <bertugolu> i did make a search...but when i run wine it tells me that you need to choose something to run it
[03:39] <kaffeewoller> bertugolu: you must first run wine without arguments!
[03:39] <kjempe> does anybody know if there's a global imagecache in gnome?
[03:39] <talldave> jrib: that was after running your command
[03:39] <kaffeewoller> it must be one time for it to install its directories and stuff
[03:39] <notwist> seraphim: how do i do that?
[03:40] <fnf> bertugolu: What's the app you're running ? Is this a message from wine or that application ?
[03:40] <seraphim> notwist: right-klick on a panel, choose add
[03:40] <seraphim> notwist: then search the system-monitor ;)
[03:40] <notwist> seraphim: yeah well that only starts the program.. i would like to see the info right away if you get my point
[03:41] <talldave> jrib: i get the idea, but dont seem to have it set up right, can i use a text editor to edit the path?
[03:41] <seraphim> notwist: it's a graph
[03:41] <DB42> any edgy users here ? worth upgrading from 6.06 ?
[03:41] <jrib> talldave: not really
[03:41] <seraphim> notwist: mouseover shows percentage
[03:41] <wursthase> DB42: edgy users are in #ubuntu+1
[03:42] <DB42> wursthase: they dont talk there
[03:42] <talldave> jrib: just i see that i have stuff there that i shouldnt
[03:42] <jrib> talldave: by the way, that change is not permanent.  It lasts only for that terminal until you close it
[03:42] <wursthase> DB42: hmm
[03:42] <kjempe> is there an imagecache which could prevent gnome from using new icons?
[03:42] <Alakazamz0r> im going to see ATB tomorrow :D
[03:42] <jrib> talldave: you can do export PATH=whateverIwantHere
[03:42] <jrib> talldave: or just close your terminal and start over
[03:42] <talldave> jrib : /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:directory:/bin
[03:43] <talldave> jrib: will that reset everything
[03:43] <bertugolu> Hey, i am using wine, how can i add files which are on my windows hdd?
[03:43] <DB42> is http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer9/ working for anybody ?
[03:43] <jstew> bertugolu: files?
[03:43] <jrib> talldave: closing your terminal and opening a new one will reset it.  Paste the command you used for me to see, it seems like "directory" got in there somehow
[03:43] <jstew> you maen programs?
[03:44] <jrib> DB42: yes
[03:44] <DB42> bertugolu: mount it, and run it ?
[03:44] <DB42> jrib: it doesnt work for me.. maybe cause i'm accessing from windows  :)
[03:44] <jstew> Well you need the registry entries too
[03:44] <bertugolu> how can i mount it
[03:44] <talldave> jrib : i coppied a command and didnt change the 'directory' bit
[03:44] <DB42> bertugolu: you dont know how to access your windows drivers from linux ?
[03:44] <DB42> they are usually in /media/...
[03:44] <jrib> talldave: directory shouldn't be there
[03:45] <bertugolu> no
[03:45] <bertugolu> emm
[03:45] <wursthase> s/drivers/drives
[03:45] <cherubiel> !mount
[03:45] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[03:45] <DB42> bertugolu: did you check /media/ ?
[03:45] <bertugolu> in computer it sys i cant mount
[03:45] <talldave> jrib: not there now /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games
[03:45] <jrib> talldave: you should be adding ~/bin or /home/dave/bin, same thing
[03:45] <DB42> bertugolu: so do it with "sudo"
[03:45] <cherubiel> bertugolu: you need root or sudo
[03:45] <strabes> bertugolu: is your drive vfat or ntfs?
[03:45] <bertugolu> ntfs
[03:45] <bertugolu> so what do i write
[03:45] <bertugolu> sudo..
[03:45] <strabes> and you want to mount that in linux and read/write the files?
[03:45] <bertugolu> yeas
[03:45] <DB42> sudo moutn -t ntfs /dev/hd.. /media/hd..
[03:45] <DB42> write is beta
[03:46] <[StarFire] > Hi people
[03:46] <strabes> bertugolu: you want to mount it on boot up or manually?
[03:46] <[StarFire] > I want to discuss with you a very interesting UBUNTU problem...
[03:46] <bertugolu> what do i wire exactly?
[03:46] <bertugolu> i need to mount it to acess files from wine
[03:46] <DB42> bertugolu: WE DONT KNOW
[03:46] <[StarFire] > I found out that UBUNTU can "listen" to cable net...
[03:46] <DB42> you need to know
[03:46] <DB42> blah :)
[03:46] <[StarFire] > but it can't listen to wireless net...
[03:46] <strabes> bertugolu: do you want it to mount on startup?
[03:47] <DB42> bertugolu: you need to check with /dev/hd... is your windows partition
[03:47] <[StarFire] > Isn't this a bit... unwise?
[03:47] <strabes> bertugolu: if so, here is a howto: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_mount_Windows_partitions_.28NTFS.29_on_boot-up.2C_and_allow_users_read_and_write_access
[03:47] <jrib> ubotu: tell [StarFire]  about wireless
[03:47] <[StarFire] > I have to write a interesting script to make it run!
[03:47] <[StarFire] > and it gave me a freek'n headache.
[03:47] <strabes> ubotu: tell strabes about automatix
[03:47] <wursthase> bertugolu: "cat /proc/partitions" might help
[03:47] <strabes> haha
[03:47] <talldave> jrib: still not got it working
[03:47] <Unimatrix9> hi there
[03:47] <strabes> hello
[03:48] <Unimatrix9> any one tested the new flash 9 beta 3 for linux ?
[03:48] <jrib> talldave: join me in #ubuntu-classroom, less traffic there
[03:48] <[StarFire] > I cursed ubuntu for not having the capability of "listening"
[03:48] <jstew> sigh... I still remember the days when everyone read thier howtos and man pages
[03:48] <[StarFire] > and I damm love it
[03:48] <Unimatrix9> i just run an first test, and it gives no sound...
[03:49] <jstew> flash 9 - its' about time! (the new flash 9 slogan for linux)
[03:49] <strabes> yeah really
[03:49] <Unimatrix9> well, its time, but does not work, with sound yet..
[03:49] <[StarFire] > Come on, neverteless
[03:49] <GortiZ> hi someone could help me with squid?
[03:49] <[StarFire] > it's a pain in the neck for ubuntu
[03:49] <[StarFire] > not to come with a sniffer
[03:49] <Unimatrix9> you get good grapics but no sound , flash player 9 beta 3
[03:49] <[StarFire] > right
[03:50] <[StarFire] > even the M$ bug-Windows sniffs for networking
[03:50] <[StarFire] > why doesn't ubuntu?
[03:50] <jstew> GortiZ: whats the question?
[03:50] <GortiZ> jstew: I have a problem with the transparent proxy
[03:50] <Wheelybin> Hello there. I think I found the problem with my samba server. How do I start the service? How do I make sure it runs at startup?
[03:51] <jstew> Ok.
[03:51] <GortiZ> if i set iptable normally and connect the client to the 3128 port
[03:51] <wursthase> [StarFire] : there is ethereal, there is tcpdump. what's the problem?
[03:51] <GortiZ> squid works normally asking me the username and password
[03:51] <GortiZ> but if i setup the iptable with redirection from 80 to 3128
[03:52] <GortiZ> squid doesn't ask me the password and doesn't go on internet...
[03:52] <jstew> Did you set up squid.conf for transparent proxy?
[03:52] <GortiZ> yes
[03:52] <GortiZ> but i need that it ask password to the users..
[03:52] <Icer> chrishoepner:btw is any real difference between my warthog and the newiest ubuntu when i tried updated packages?
[03:52] <[StarFire] > Great
[03:52] <[StarFire] > I just get ignored here?
[03:52] <jstew> httpd_accel_host virtual httpd_accel_port 80 httpd_accel_with_proxy on ttpd_accel_uses_host_header on

[03:53] <LjL> [StarFire] : honestly i haven't understood your question
[03:53] <jstew> If you can read that. Thats what I have in mine and it's working
[03:53] <Unimatrix9> starfire, i did see
[03:53] <GortiZ> i have to put these on squid.conf?
[03:53] <jstew> yes
[03:53] <Unimatrix9> and understand your trouble...
[03:53] <jstew> you need to set up transparent proxy in squid also
[03:53] <GortiZ> and then it will ask password again?
[03:53] <hutchGuy> jstew: there are lots of permission denied from output with lsof
[03:53] <[StarFire] > LjL, the question is this : I get fed up of having to feel in the essid for the wifi network! UBUNTU *SHOULD* be capable of sniffing the nearby networks
[03:53] <Unimatrix9> you ask if there is an program for network roaming and sniffing
[03:54] <[StarFire] > and he doesn't
[03:54] <[StarFire] > he only eats what you want
[03:54] <[StarFire] > and that makes me confused!
[03:54] <hutchGuy> lsof | grep 'Permission' | awk {'print $i++'} doesn't update $i.. how do I update i ?
[03:54] <[StarFire] > Say, Why doesn't he sniff the surrounding networks and say : Ok, this are the avaliable networks!
[03:54] <GortiZ> i have another question the log will write users accesses?
[03:55] <patrick_king> can any one tell what i have to install before i install the nvidia beta drivers
[03:55] <jstew> I just have httpd_accel_host virtual and httpd_accel_port 80 you might be able to get away with only those GortiZ
[03:55] <GortiZ> ?
[03:55] <wursthase> [StarFire] : just use the right tools. airodump, airsnort, kismet, ...
[03:55] <cjuner> Hi there... Any recommendations on laptops? I am looking for one with high battery life, out-of-the-box suspend to ram and working airsnort (wlan sniffing)...
[03:55] <Unimatrix9> well i did try to find an asnwer to the same kind of problem starfire. and did not find an good solution
[03:55] <LjL> [StarFire] : i'm not familiar with wireless. however, i can see i have a "Wireless Assistant" program in my menu (i'm using KDE, though!), which does seem to be something that lists visible WiFi networks, with ID for each
[03:55] <jstew> About the log: suid has access.log
[03:55] <jstew> squid*
[03:55] <GortiZ> no i need that squid ask for the username and password and then log every request from the user...
[03:56] <Unimatrix9> i now use an livecd to sniff networks
[03:56] <frogzoo> anyone have any idea why WoW would lock up constantly ? this is a new machine, maybe the vid card's overheating but fan seems to be running
[03:56] <[StarFire] > Sorry, i work, with , quoting Tovarlds " GNOME, the graphic nazists"
[03:56] <patrick_king> !samba
[03:56] <ubotu> samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[03:56] <jstew> I must be confused as to what you need to log then GortiZ :)
[03:56] <[StarFire] > And gnome doesn't have those
[03:56] <GortiZ> the http requests from the users..
[03:56] <[StarFire] > I had to use iwconfig
[03:56] <[StarFire] > and also wpa_supplicant
[03:56] <GortiZ> every page they request
[03:56] <[StarFire] > and ifup
[03:56] <Unimatrix9> so?
[03:57] <LjL> [StarFire] , please look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessNetworking - its says, "If your device supports scanning, your access points essid should display in the drop down list. Most newer cards and drivers will support scanning."
[03:57] <jstew> It logs all that be default
[03:57] <[StarFire] > to configure the whole smash!
[03:57] <LjL> [StarFire] : sounds like what you want maybe
[03:57] <hutchGuy> all of the permission denied's are from readlink and opendir function (C functions). what's going on ? is it trashing my system ?
[03:57] <wursthase> [StarFire] : and what prevents you from installing additional software?
[03:57] <GortiZ> basically the number of url that they ask
[03:57] <cjuner> frogzoo, if you have not done so yet you might want to try newer and/or older versions of wine. There often are regressions between different versions.
[03:57] <jstew> yeah, squids access.log has all of that in it
[03:57] <jstew> unless you tell it NOT to log, but it logs by default
[03:57] <frogzoo> cjuner: fair point, I'll drop a rev & see, thx
[03:57] <Unimatrix9> poor man
[03:58] <bertugolu> exept for wine, is there another program like it?
[03:58] <[StarFire] > LjL, nothing does prevent me. But i got irritated with it. Cable works nicely, just plug it and let it go. And Wifi? One has to console the sucker?
[03:58] <GortiZ> ok i will try
[03:58] <GortiZ> thanks
[03:58] <LjL> [StarFire] , i think that was intended to be addresses to wursthase...?

[03:58] <jonah1980> hi can anyone tell me how to edit the list of session on login?
[03:58] <[StarFire] > LjL, I happen to know a little bit of console. But many people don't. New users. And that is quite a drawback in ubuntu philosophy.
[03:58] <zen2> now im here
[03:59] <jonah1980> i added one in i don't want as an option anymore
[03:59] <wursthase> [StarFire] : if you just want to rant, people will ignore you
[03:59] <jstew> lol
[03:59] <bertugolu> Soneone
[03:59] <segfault_> wursthase, lol thx someone had to say it
[03:59] <bertugolu> pls helo me
[03:59] <[StarFire] > wursthase, I just want to understand why this is so :|
[04:00] <LjL> [StarFire] , that's bordering on off-topic... well, more than bordering. ask for support here, and to discuss things you can join #ubuntu-offtopic - also, please watch your language, we have some policies about it that are stricter than in other channels
[04:00] <Unimatrix9> make us understand..
 i just edited sources.list ...i uncommented universe repos lines but i didnt find any line which correspond to multiverse
 repos
 i have also type apt-get update
 with universe repos i still cant find firefox package
 so i have to add multiverse i suppose...but i dont know the link to that repos which i can paste to the sources.file
[04:00] <frogzoo> [StarFire] : maybe you'd like wifi-radar
[04:00] <LjL> [StarFire] : anyway, from what i can read on the page i pointed you to, what you ask for seems to *be* doable from the standard Gnome GUI. i might be mistaken, but have you tried it?
[04:00] <bora> anybody can help me about install xmms
[04:00] <eXistenZ> How can I make K3B support mp3?
[04:00] <wursthase> [StarFire] : because in order to support wpa and such, in a abstract way like a gui does, each wifi driver must support it. but this is unfortunately not the case.
[04:01] <LjL> [StarFire] : i'll also point you to the generic wireless guide, you might find some other useful things that I've missed, not being familiar with wireless tech
[04:01] <raintheory> !nrg
[04:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nrg - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:01] <[StarFire] > Sorry.
[04:01] <krazykit> raintheory: google nrg2iso
[04:01] <[StarFire] > Didn't know this was just for support
[04:01] <[StarFire] > thanks :D
[04:01] <cherubiel> bora: are you registered?
[04:01] <cherubiel> !register
[04:01] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[04:01] <cherubiel> bora: ^^
[04:01] <jstew> bora: sudo apt-get install xmms
[04:01] <Unimatrix9> with an good wifi card, one thats supported with ubuntu its easy to setup wireless
[04:02] <raintheory> krazykit| yeah i've looked it up, problem is I have DVD.nrg DVD.nrg.001 DVD.nrg.002
[04:02] <ana_> i can't make this laptop make any sound, have tried with the properties, with device manager, i have set none to mute, and still all is mute...
[04:02] <Unimatrix9> its true that switching is still an problem, when you go to an other spot
[04:02] <Unimatrix9> but that too depends on the wifi card..
[04:02] <frogzoo> ana_: tried fixing levels in alsamixer?
[04:03] <wolfgang_> hello
[04:03] <krazykit> raintheory: err... split ones eh.  um, you could install nero for linux, but it's not RMS-approved ;-)
[04:03] <Unimatrix9> lets make progress in that erea!
[04:03] <jstew> I like nero linux.
[04:03] <jstew> Its ugly though
[04:03] <raintheory> eek, nero for linux eh?
[04:03] <raintheory> hmm
[04:03] <wolfgang_> whot is se standart root passwort in ubuntu??
[04:03] <bora> jstew
[04:03] <frogzoo> !root
[04:03] <mnepton> wolfgang_: there is none. use sudo.
[04:03] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[04:03] <jstew> no root pass in ubuntu
[04:03] <jstew> use sudo with your admin user
[04:04] <wolfgang_> sank ju
[04:04] <wursthase> raintheory: there is nero for linux, but i see no point in using it
[04:04] <bora> I have pass sudo? is that true
[04:04] <jstew> I use nero to copy bad disks and it works better than cdrdao
[04:04] <cherubiel> bora: are you getting my pm s?
[04:05] <jstew> true that bora.
[04:05] <cjuner> Hi there... Any recommendations on laptops? I am looking for one with high battery life, out-of-the-box suspend to ram and working airsnort (wlan sniffing)...

[04:05] <Unimatrix9> ngr2iso?
[04:05] <raintheory> wursthase|  I agree...   I guess I could just use wy windoze partition to convert the split nrg files to one continuous nrg, or directly to iso
[04:05] <frogzoo> cjuner: well avoid the ATI cards for starters, go nvidia
[04:05] <bora> but how can I go sudo can you explain me?
[04:06] <frogzoo> !hardware > cjuner
[04:06] <BlueEagle> !sudo
[04:06] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[04:06] <sonics> hey
[04:06] <raintheory> nrg2iso works fine, but i have split nrg files and it wont work with those
[04:06] <sonics> :')
[04:06] <jstew> ati fglrx sucks very badly.
[04:06] <sonics> Can anyone recommen me a good linux/ubuntu startup guide?!
[04:06] <jstew> ubuntuguide.org

[04:07] <Unimatrix9> ah okey to bad
[04:07] <raintheory> actually, heres a good question...    if nrg2iso says an nrg file is already iso, can i just change the extension to iso?
[04:07] <Kenotic> Does anyone have a dell D620
[04:07] <wursthase> raintheory: try :)
[04:07] <Kenotic> I need some help with mine
[04:07] <BlueEagle> !ask
[04:07] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:08] <raintheory> wursthase| good answer!   ;)
[04:08] <cjuner> frogzoo, that doesn't say anything about the support of raw monitoring for wifi devices (so that airsnort or something similar might work) :-/
[04:08] <BlueEagle> !anyone
[04:08] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[04:08] <wolfgang_> there must be a password for root
[04:08] <LjL> !root > wolfgang_
[04:08] <krazykit> wolfgang_: no there musn't.  use sudo -i
[04:08] <wursthase> raintheory: try loop mounting the file as iso:   mount -o loop,ro -t iso9660 filename /mnt/point
[04:08] <Unimatrix9> raintheory , burn your ngr data to dvd, or copy to portable hard disk and ask the neighbour, gets you new friends too...
[04:08] <wolfgang_> i have to log in because i forgot my password
[04:08] <BlueEagle> kenotic: In short: Many people don't know what hardware is in a Dell D620 but if you've got a problem with a spesific piece of hardware people might know the solutions to them.
[04:08] <Kenotic> Well when i put it on the docking station it does not display on the external connected monitor.
[04:09] <LjL> wolfgang_: boot into recovery mode then
[04:09] <krazykit> wolfgang_: reboot into recovery mode and do passwd user to reset your password
[04:09] <wolfgang_> and then?
[04:09] <wolfgang_> but it's just a virtual machine
[04:09] <LjL> wolfgang_: shouldn't matter, that
[04:09] <LjL> wolfgang_: you then reboot the virtual machine, and use your new password
[04:10] <raintheory> wursthase|  I assume I have to create a writable mount point eh?
[04:10] <raintheory> in order for that to work?
[04:10] <jstew> in recovery mode do you have to mount your root partition and chroot? I've never had to use it, just a thought
[04:10] <yaya> ??
[04:10] <jstew> for passwd to work you would have to chroot into the mounted root
[04:10] <wursthase> raintheory: the mount point itself does not need to ne writable. but the mount command has to run as root (sudo mount ...)
[04:11] <Induane> on edgy dist-upgrade I'm getting alot of errors about "Incorrect nice value" - are there known workarounds currently?
[04:11] <Unimatrix9> bye all , have an nice day/evening
[04:11] <Unimatrix9> :)
[04:11] <raintheory> ahh, okay...  if i create the mount pint in /media instead of /mnt will it show on desktop and places menu?
[04:11] <wolfgang_> how can i reboot into recovery mode?
[04:11] <wursthase> raintheory: the mount point must exist though
[04:11] <frogzoo> cjuner: the intel 2200bg works out of the box, you might want 802.11a though, to know for sure if a chipset will work, check the kismet docs
[04:11] <LjL> jstew, but "recovery mode" i don't mean the Live CD, i just mean using the Recovery Mode option in Grub (which is your bootloader, press Esc like crazy after the BIOS gives way to the booter to see the menu ;)
[04:12] <jstew> I see
[04:12] <LjL> jstew: in that recovery mode, your root filesystem is just mounted as usual. however you're in a single-user mode console
[04:12] <jstew> Ah, OK
[04:12] <cjuner> frogzoo, ah that looks nice ... thank you
[04:13] <jstew> makes sense then. I only had to do that when I was running lilo bootloader. Kind of speaks for how far linux has come.
[04:13] <jstew> ext3 > ext2 :)
[04:13] <nikko82> Hello. I'm trying to install Xen, but when i run /sbin/depmod -a <IP_ADDRESS>-xen i get "Segmentation fault"
[04:13] <nikko82> Any ideas how to fix this?
[04:13] <raintheory> wursthase - if I create /media/ISO  instead of /mnt/ISO   , will it show on my desktop and places bar when i mount ISO?
[04:13] <LjL> jstew: well, Grub has become the defacto standard now, LILO is only used by few distributions (although we do have a LILO package as well, it's just not the supported default)
[04:14] <wursthase> raintheory: not sure. i don't use gnome or kde.
[04:14] <raintheory> wursthase - ahh okay
[04:14] <jstew> I used to use lilo on slackware 3.5
[04:14] <raintheory> wursthase - how do I unmount the ISO after I'm done?
[04:14] <jstew> long time ago
[04:14] <wursthase> raintheory: umount /mnt/point
[04:14] <raintheory> okay, thats what I thought
[04:15] <raintheory> wursthase - thanks a bunch
[04:15] <wursthase> raintheory: so it was mountable?
[04:16] <raintheory> wursthase - trying now,
[04:16] <jstew> havent had to go into single user mode since like 1997
[04:18] <|thunder> raintheory; right click it on the desktop and hit eject
[04:19] <teledyn> anyone know why apt-get fails to connect with one network connection but works with another?
[04:19] <johso> hiya ppl. I have just reinstalled Ubuntu, and I've got a lot of dependency related problems. even though I have enabled universe and everything else in sources.list, I'm unable to install a lot of things that are in those repos. what can I do about this?
[04:19] <|thunder> teledyn; either their server is down or the url is wrong
[04:19] <frogzoo> johso: sudo apt-get update
[04:19] <teledyn> |thunder: neither
[04:19] <|thunder> johso; thats very strange.
[04:20] <raintheory> wursthase - didnt mount....    the nrg is on an external drive and there are spaces in the folder name...   does that matter?
[04:20] <johso> frogzoo: done so, also apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:20] <wursthase> raintheory: you have to quote spaces on the command line "like this" or like\ this
[04:21] <raintheory> wursthase - so should i quote the entire location?
[04:21] <variant> does anyone know if the netgear wg311 (v2) is supported out of the box with daapper?
[04:21] <wursthase> raintheory: if you use the TAB key on incomplete file name, the shell will quote for you
[04:21] <segfault_> johso, did u enable universe and multiverse, also did u enable dapp-erupdates for universe and multiverse ( i dont think those are int he file by default)?
[04:21] <jstew> my wife calls dapper diaper.
[04:22] <johso> I have used other peoples pasted repos, and got a mix of applications that I could install. with that I mean that I could install some of the programs I was looking for, but something else was screwed which was working before (all Dapper repos, though). is there a failsafe sources.list I could use (without location mirrors, etc.)
[04:22] <raintheory> wursthase - aha!   i think it worked!    buts its showing as an actual disk drive instead of a CD/DVD on the desktop
[04:23] <johso> segfault_: I've got "dapper-updates main restricted" ?
[04:23] <wursthase> raintheory: okay, try browing the contents
[04:23] <MarkAngels> Hi. Is it possible to watch the live stream from Pop!tech? I can't get it to work. Seems to be windows media. http://live.poptech.org/
[04:24] <segfault_> johso, add lines for dapper-updates universe and dapper-updates ,ultiverse, run apt-get update and try again
[04:24] <raintheory> wursthase -i can browse contents just fine, i see audio_ts and video_ts and all  (its a DVD iso) but i cant seem to open it with any media app
[04:24] <segfault_> johso, ,ultiverse = multiverse
