[00:00] <israfil> how do i do that
[00:00] <Odd-rationale> mysterycool: Install what you want. You can always remove.
[00:00] <spudratic0> musse click applications add remove programs
[00:00] <nickrud> Elad: don't boot from the cd, we can't troubleshoot the install properly without running the install
[00:00] <musse> Nickrud thanks, i want install Real player
[00:00] <ompaul> israfil, minimise you can't do what you ask
[00:00] <FourX4Luvn> israfil: Then don't close it, just minimize it
[00:00] <musse> oK
[00:00] <inertial> no idea why luks encryption might be causing me to get a kernel panic on boot?
[00:00] <israfil> oh, that sucks  :(
[00:00] <IndyGunFreak> !repositories > musse
[00:00] <Elad> Nickrud: If i boot from hd, its going to take me into xo, no?
[00:00] <FourX4Luvn> inertial: Yeah, if you have encrypted LVM set up.
[00:00] <maverique> can somebody recommend me an good but not to expansive wifi card that works with ubuntu without any problems directly?
[00:00] <nickrud> Elad: xo?

[00:00] <j_humphrey> I installed KDE, and now i dont want it, is there an easy way to remove all the packages associated with it?
[00:00] <FourX4Luvn> maverique: Intel based cards
[00:01] <Elad> Nickrud: I hvent created space for linux partiiton yet... I mean windows XP
[00:01] <inertial> FourX4Luvn: yep i do...
[00:01] <maverique> are they pci or usb?
[00:01] <danand_> maverique - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[00:01] <IndyGunFreak> !synaptic > musse
[00:01] <FourX4Luvn> maverique: They make both

[00:01] <XXer> Anyone know how to set up a fserver trigger in XCHAT using obsidian2? The help file says to " [Obsidian²] To start serving with Obsidian+, first set a trigger, it's ID and a directory that will be accessible through that trigger:
[00:01] <XXer>  [Obsidian²] /fs triggers add trigger_id1 my very own trigger /path/to/somewhere" this is what i did "/fs triggers add trigger_id1 Cartoons /media/500-1HD/Cartoons" and this is the msg I get back "[Obsidian²] Warning, requested triggerid all is not defined."
[00:01] <artti> I just made apt-get update, but my ubuntu version did't update
[00:01] <IndyGunFreak> musse: realplayer is easy to install, have you tried following the instructions on their site?
[00:01] <inertial> FourX4Luvn: have i completely lost my encrypted partition?
[00:01] <nickrud> Elad: ah, I thought you had an install already done, from the alternate cd.
[00:01] <musse> not yet
[00:02] <j_humphrey> I installed KDE, and now i dont want it, is there an easy way to remove all the packages associated with it?
[00:02] <FourX4Luvn> inertial: I dealt with the same thing a while back, but now I forget what I ended up doing... Have you tried googling for "luks kernel panic"
[00:02] <maverique> i remember i once seen a MSI PCI wifi card that said it had linux drivers
[00:02] <Odd-rationale> j_humphrey: yes. one moment. let me get link
[00:02] <j_humphrey> thanks odd-rationale
[00:02] <rmorgan> maverique: several makes work well natively and with ndiswrapper
[00:02] <leniwy> hi all. how can i improve the appearance of the greek fonts in firefox?
[00:02] <IndyGunFreak> musse: well, thats a better start.. because software can be installed in many, many ways, but if you cna, its best to stay with whats in the repositories/package manager
[00:02] <Elad> Nickrud: Nope im actually trying to install now.. I'm  back at: * Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [OK]
[00:02] <inertial> FourX4Luvn: i was having trobule finding anything about the exact error message that was relevant but i'll try less specific searches..
[00:03] <Tetracomm> When I hibernate in KDE, I can't hear any sound when I resume. Help?
[00:03] <Elad> Nickrud: after that line it just sits there with the blinking underscore character
[00:03] <abshiffl> j_humphrey you should be able to use apt-get autoremove
[00:03] <FourX4Luvn> inertial: Unfortunately that's all I can help you with.. Just do lots of searches.. it's what I had to do.
[00:03] <IndyGunFreak> Tetracomm: don't hibernate? :)
[00:03] <astro76> artti: update only updates the package info, upgrade updates packages, and dist-upgrade upgrades to the next ubuntu version
[00:03] <nickrud> Elad: You need to install from the alternate cd, the 8800gt is not suppported by the gutsy video drivers. You have to use the alternate cd, and then do some manual config
[00:03] <j_humphrey> abshiffl, how do i use it?
[00:03] <danand_> artti - apt-get update just updates the list of packages available for install/upgrade - it does not actually update any of the packages on your system. you need to sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:03] <Odd-rationale> j_humphrey: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[00:03] <abshiffl> I belive the package for the kde desktop is just kde-desktop
[00:03] <musse> IndyGunFreak thanks man i will try now
[00:03] <abshiffl> so you would use
[00:03] <astro76> artti: so an upgrade to the next ubuntu version would be apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade
[00:03] <inertial> FourX4Luvn: ok.. you got your data back though? there's light at the end of the tunnel?
[00:03] <j_humphrey> ok thanks
[00:04] <abshiffl>  sudo apt-get autoremove kde-desktop
[00:04] <FourX4Luvn> inertial: Yes, there is light as long as you have not forgotten your passphrase
[00:04] <Elad> Nickrud: can i download the alternate from ubuntu.com?
[00:04] <inertial> FourX4Luvn: thanks for the reassurance.. i'll see what i can find
[00:04] <nickrud> Elad: releases.ubuntu.com/7.10
[00:04] <artti> astro76: i will try that
[00:04] <nickrud> Elad: sorry for assuming too much :)
[00:05] <inertial> FourX4Luvn: come to think of it i think this happened right after ubuntu did a kernel update..
[00:05] <spudratic0> adjusting sound properties in gusty how is this done?
[00:05] <Elad> Nickrud: downloading the alternate now,   I will be back in a few for your help :P
[00:05] <artti> i hope that ubuntu upgrade don't take much space
[00:05] <Mimi> Exuse me can someone help me with Making a shortcut on my desktop for WoW?
[00:05] <FourX4Luvn> inertial: That's actually reassuring.. Try booting from the old kernel (hit esc at the grub boot screen)
[00:05] <rbs-tito> fophillips: Did you get your clock working?
[00:06] <IndyGunFreak> Mimi: it should be pretty easy..
[00:06] <fophillips> rbs-tito: Yep.
[00:06] <inertial> FourX4Luvn: the old one isn't listed
[00:06] <FourX4Luvn> damn
[00:06] <nickrud> Elad: I'm off line in about 45 minutes, here's a link that has reliable info: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3740479&postcount=5
[00:06] <Mimi> IndyGunFreak, <-female second day on linux " Everything is hard for me "
[00:06] <Elad> thanks
[00:06] <j_humphrey> when i use i use enlightenment under gnome, does it take the place of compiz-beryl?
[00:06] <IndyGunFreak> Mimi: ok., well..., how do you usually start it?
[00:07] <nickrud> Elad: that is, it's repeated in various places, and more people than not said it Worked for Them.
[00:07] <abshiffl> When I installed, I set aside a few partitions for music, photos, and backup storage space.  Each partition is mounted /music ,/photos , /backup etc and belongs to root.  How can I adjust those permissions? :(
[00:07] <FourX4Luvn> j_humphrey: Yes
[00:07] <nickrud> abshiffl:   chown username:username /music , for example
[00:07] <rbs-tito> fop hillip s: that's good
[00:07] <artti> After upgrading to 7.10 how much space that should take? Less than 2GB?
[00:07] <nickrud> abshiffl: that'll make that user able to read/write there
[00:08] <abshiffl> thanks
[00:08] <nickrud> abshiffl: you'll need sudo, forgot to prepend that
[00:08] <Mimi> IndyGunFreak, Applications/Wine/Browse C: Drive Then i go to Program file and is there
[00:08] <Elad> nickrud: thanks doesnt seem too hard
[00:08] <FourX4Luvn> artti: Are you talking how much space is needed total, or just how much will the install grow from the upgrade?
[00:08] <leniwy> nickrud: how can i improve the appearance of the greek fonts in firefox
[00:08] <IndyGunFreak> Mimi: ok.
[00:08] <abshiffl> nickrud: figured as much :P Thanks
[00:09] <nickrud> leniwy: not sure, mostly a matter of finding good looking free greek fonts I'd guess. I've never messed with them
[00:09] <ompaul> leniwy, have a look at this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto
[00:09] <artti> FourX4Luwn: I think how much install grow from upgrade.
[00:09] <IndyGunFreak> Mimi: ok... right click your desktop.. choose create launcher, then hte dropdown bar should be application, then command, should be "wine "/path/to/file.exe"
[00:09] <IndyGunFreak> then choose an icon
[00:09] <FourX4Luvn> artti: Ok.. Not sure exactly, it depends on what packages you have installed of course, but yes it's much less than 2GB.  CLoser to 200MB or so if I had to venture a guess.
[00:10] <nickrud> ompaul: hey, that looks like a good link to fonts. I've always wanted to fill out my utf-8
[00:10] <maverique> ok well i will now freez the wifi problem
[00:10] <ompaul> nickrud, ;-)
[00:10] <abshiffl> nickrud: what does the syntax for that statement actually do, I know chown is chmod command but not sure about the username:username part
[00:10] <maverique> my father will have to live with it that i put a cable now down :P
[00:10] <ompaul> nickrud, !font does that
[00:10] <nickrud> abshiffl: the first username is the owner, the second is the group
[00:10] <nickrud> !font
[00:10] <ubotu> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[00:10] <FourX4Luvn> abshiffl: chown = CHange OWNership
[00:10] <abshiffl> thanks guys
[00:10] <artti> FourX4Luvn: I have on hard disk space only ~7.5 GB
[00:11] <ompaul> pici can you work on that and make it /msg cheers ^^
[00:11] <abshiffl> If there are no groups set is the 2nd parameter needed?
[00:12] <FourX4Luvn> abshiffl: Bah.. I misread your question.. sorry.  No, you don't need to add the groups part if it's not needed.  Wuld be simply "chown username /music"
[00:12] <abshiffl> perfect
[00:12] <abshiffl> thanks again
[00:12] <maverique> can somebody tell if there is a key command for switching the workspaces?
[00:12] <Mimi> IndyGunFreak, Details: Failed to execute child process ".wine/drive_c/Program" (No such file or directory)
[00:13] <bruenig> Mimi: you didn't escape the spaces
[00:13] <farruinn> maverique: ctl-alt-[arrow key]
[00:13] <nickrud> maverique: clt-alt-right/left arrow
[00:13] <IndyGunFreak> Mimi: you didn't put the complete path most likely.
[00:13] <IndyGunFreak> Mimi: type this w/o quotes... "/join #indygunfreak"
[00:13] <bruenig> he did, but he did Program Files instead of Program\ Files
[00:14] <Thanatos3762> It looks like you guys are talking about the workspace manager. I think it is really slick, anyone have any tips on making it even cooler?
[00:14] <Snurglewozzle> Hello, Ubuntu friends!
[00:14] <artti> Hi.
[00:14] <Thanatos3762> Herro
[00:14] <FourX4Luvn> Mimi: Check what bruenig wrote.  That's your problem
[00:15] <snkmad> anyone knows if theres a wine 0.9.55 for gutsy? only saw the package for hardy
[00:15] <artti> SnurgleWozzle: How long have you been Ubuntu user?
[00:15] <Necrodrako> Hello, Im using 7.10 and i was wondering if theres a way to use 2 programs with one soundcard (skype and amarok)
[00:15] <Snurglewozzle> artii: a fair while.
[00:15] <IndyGunFreak> bruenig: no, she didn't put /home/whatever/
[00:16] <neil_d> hi, I have installed 7.10 with the 'encrypted LVM' does anyone know what encryption it uses ?
[00:16] <IndyGunFreak> i think it was several errors.
[00:16] <leniwy> ompaul: thanks for your help. i installed the package msttcorefonts and now the greek fonts looks perfect in firefox
[00:16] <artti> Snurglewozzle: I'm ubuntu user about 2.5 days. :)
[00:16] <ompaul> leniwy, glad it worked for you
[00:16] <Snurglewozzle> artti: you need help? I'm your man...
[00:17] <blbrown> general question; is there some amount of memory you keep free for smooth operation.  E.g. I am using 800 MB of ram right now and I have 2.5 gigs total.  I was thinking about going all the way to 4 just to be safe
[00:17] <neil_d> artti: thats good what where you using before ?
[00:17] <Mark_Milliman> How can I remove a package that apt-get believes is installed but dpkg can't find?
[00:17] <leniwy> :))))))
[00:17] <Necrodrako> Hello, Im using 7.10 and i was wondering if theres a way to use 2 programs with one soundcard (skype and amarok)
[00:17] <artti> Snurglewozzle: Currently i don't need help. I'm upgrading ubuntu from 4.10 to 5.04
[00:17] <ompaul> blbrown, for "normal" desktop stuff it should be good
[00:17] <fredoslack> hello
[00:17] <Snurglewozzle> Why not all the way up to 7.10?
[00:17] <astro76> Mark_Milliman: apt-get remove
[00:17] <artti> neil_d: Before i used Windows XP Professional.
[00:18] <blbrown> ompaul: I do development with tools like Eclipse.  250 MB right now for eclipse
[00:18] <Mark_Milliman> thanks astro76
[00:18] <ompaul> blbrown, the linux kernel "pre wires" lots of ram so if it is only using 800 it is fine - when you see yourself swapping then buy more ram
[00:18] <artti> Snurglewozzle: Can't upgrade right there. Step-by-step.
[00:18] <mysterycool> how can i install qemu?
[00:19] <artti> Snurglewozzle: Or can i?
[00:19] <j_humphrey> does anyone know of some documentation/thread about how to set up a simple home server?
[00:19] <FourX4Luvn> "sudo apt-get install qemu" doesn't work?
[00:19] <FourX4Luvn> mysterycool:  "sudo apt-get install qemu" doesn't work?
[00:19] <ompaul> !upgrade | artti
[00:19] <ubotu> artti: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[00:19] <Mark_Milliman> astro76, i did the remove then install but apt-get told me that policykit was already installed
[00:20] <neil_d> j_humphrey: do you want external access ?
[00:20] <Snurglewozzle> Umm...  no, I think you're right .  Step by step.  How'd you miss so many releases?
[00:20] <j_humphrey> neil_d, yeah
[00:20] <artti> ubotu: i have readed many times.
[00:20] <mysterycool> FourX4Luvn: ty :D
[00:20] <FourX4Luvn> mysterycool: Welcome
[00:20] <icesword> good morning
[00:20] <snkmad> anyone knows if theres a wine 0.9.55 for gutsy? only saw the package for hardy
[00:21] <kibb> has anyone else got this problem? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+bug/102394
[00:21] <FourX4Luvn> Morning??  Someone's on the wrong side of the pond  ;-)
[00:21] <neil_d> j_humphrey: I don't know of a simple howto on that.   Seting up a server is easy, the problem is in getting others to access you IP, do you have a statis IP address ?
[00:21] <rael> hey
[00:21] <j_humphrey> neil_d, im not sure
[00:21] <ryuo> i'm testing my laptops RAM, and 2 of the addresses so far have some up as "failing" any ideas what i should do?
[00:21] <rael> Ihave gdesklets and it mmeory leaks after awhile so I would like to use cron to stop and restart it..say every 2 hours, and have it stop and the restart aminute later. I'm not sure exactly what command to use
[00:21] <Elad> Nickrud: Still here?
[00:21] <artti> Snurglewozzle: My computer was very slow with windows and i had so little free space on disk. My friend gave me Ubuntu 4.10 Live CD and Install CD.
[00:21] <nickrud> Elad: yep
[00:21] <Elad> Nickrud: I got the gui running off live cd
[00:21] <neil_d> j_humphrey: how do you connect to the inter-net
[00:21] <FourX4Luvn> rael: 'crontab -e'  I believe it's pretty well commented
[00:22] <kibb> im getting white text on most webpages makes it unreadable unless the whole page is selected
[00:22] <Snurglewozzle> artii: I see.
[00:22] <nickrud> Elad: good, I'd not heard of it being done. What did you do?
[00:22] <bAndie91> hi all
[00:22] <ompaul> artti, that is pretty old and no longer supported - if you used any "helper" tools to do any codec stuff you can be pretty sure your install will break during the upgrade, one leap at a time - for the upgrade you would have downloaded many isos and burnt them by the time you get to upgrade each distro level and if it breaks badly on you - you need to reinstall the disk you have, pretty horrific methinks
[00:22] <astro76> artti: you're running 4.10 now?
[00:22] <Snurglewozzle> artti: which country do you live in?
[00:22] <bAndie91> whats the theme?
[00:22] <artti> Snurglewozzle: Estonia.
[00:22] <j_humphrey> neil_d, wifi through a router/modem, to cable
[00:22] <artti> astro76: Yes. Currently doing apt-get upgrade
[00:23] <icesword> snkmad, u want the latest wine,u need to compile it uself
[00:23] <nickrud> artti: if those are pressed disks, keep them. They are collector's items
[00:23] <Elad> Nickrud: , I chose start ubuntu safe mode hit f4 changed res to 800x600, hit f6 change cmd line to nosplash and at the end of the line added noapic
[00:23] <kibb> default ultimate ubuntu originally it had a black background for most things but from the start white pages didnt show text
[00:23] <artti> ompaul: I can't burn on CD.
[00:23] <Snurglewozzle> artti: I understand.  I take it your internet connection is dialup?
[00:23] <nickrud> Elad: ok
[00:23] <j0hng4lt> can someone tell me how to make a directory that I can save to without being su?
[00:23] <snkmad> icesword well i always used the .deb package others have provided
[00:23] <kibb> i've changed it a few times since then the problem remains
[00:23] <artti> Snurglewozzle: wifi
[00:23] <Snurglewozzle> artti: how fast?
[00:23] <Snurglewozzle> artti: how fast?
[00:23] <ompaul> artti, ask your friend to do it for you
[00:23] <kibb> im pretty sure if i can find where to change text colours i can fix it
[00:23] <FourX4Luvn> j0hng4lt: 'mkdir ~/mystuff'
[00:23] <icesword> snkmad, what i mean is compile from source code
[00:24] <Elad> Nickrud: I have XP on my hd I want to keep it on there to, I'm at the preare disk space window, I want to partition the disk with the manual option, correct?
[00:24] <neil_d> j_humphrey: ok, does the router/modem get turned off regular ?
[00:24] <j_humphrey> niel_d never
[00:24] <snkmad> icesword i know, but theres the latest package compiled already, but its for hardy, not gutsy
[00:24] <artti> Snurglewozzle: Currently it shows 60kb/s
[00:24] <jacob_> FourX4Luvn how do i use vnc?
[00:24] <Snurglewozzle> artti: ok, that's reasonably fast.  Any reason you didn't just download 7.10 and wipe your disk clean -- start from scratch?
[00:24] <kibb> i can change the font in Appearance Preferences but not the default colour
[00:24] <nickrud> Elad: yes, you'll want to resize the windows partition. But, before you do that defrag the windows disk, and backup
[00:24] <icesword> snkmad, why not manage it youself
[00:25] <astro76> artti: with all the downloading the many upgrades would need to do, if you can even upgrade from that old anymore.. you'd be better off downloading the latest iso
[00:25] <artti> ompaul: I think that i should ask.
[00:25] <unagi> anyone know why alt +f4 would stop closing windows other than the obvious keyboard shortcuts?
[00:25] <jacob_> FourX4Luvn what server should i use?
[00:25] <Snurglewozzle> jacob_: use synaptic and search for tightvnc
[00:25] <artti> Snurglewozzle: And what i do, when i only latest?
[00:25] <j0hng4lt> thx - made the dir - how do I set permissions?
[00:25] <FourX4Luvn> jacob_: Oh.. you mean the service or user-mode?
[00:25] <Elad> Nickrud: I defragged yesterday and backup'ed all my main files today.
[00:26] <nickrud> Elad: smart
[00:26] <jacob_> i downloaded the linux version and I runned vncviewer
[00:26] <Elad> Nickrud: I need to create a new partition table?
[00:26] <Snurglewozzle> artti: I am suggesting that, if you have nothing important to save on your hard drive -- things that can't be backed up -- that you simply download 7.10, burn a CD, and start from that release.
[00:26] <artti> Snurglewozzle: I can't burn on CD.
[00:26] <artti> Snurglewozzle: i have nothing to backup either.
[00:26] <Snurglewozzle> artti: I see.  None of your friends have a CD burner?
[00:26] <Elad> or edit my ntfs partition first
[00:26] <nickrud> Elad: it will be automatically changed when you do the install, resizing windows and assigning partitions
[00:27] <j0hng4lt> only su can save to this folder, how can I make it where I can save to it from a program like quanta+ ?
[00:27] <DG19075> or if you can, burn the DVD image- less updates needed
[00:27] <artti> Snurglewozzle: My friends have.
[00:27] <Snurglewozzle> how about a USB thumb drive that's got 1GB of memory?
[00:27] <neil_d> j_humphrey: ok, does the router/modem get turned off regular ?
[00:27] <lyte> Snurglewozzle artti: i believe if you find the right form on ubuntu.com you can still have a cd posted out...
[00:27] <Elad> Nickrud: dont i need to specify how much space to give the partition tho?
[00:27] <j_humphrey> snurglewozzle, you have to do it in linux, you cant burn iso images in windows
[00:27] <j0hng4lt> would I use chown?
[00:27] <j_humphrey> neil_d. never
[00:27] <Snurglewozzle> It'll save you a lot of trouble to simply create a new 7.10 LiveCD and start fresh from there.
[00:27] <mysterycool> i downloaded ReactOS and i wanna make a virtual machine in order to run ReactOS without needed to make partitions on my hard disk. how can I do that?
[00:27] <FourX4Luvn> j0hng4lt: You can save to anything in your home directory.. if you can't you have an ownership problem.. fixable with 'sudo chown -R username:usergroup /home/username'
[00:27] <Elad> Nickrud: as of now the entire hd is a ntfs partition
[00:28] <artti> Snurglewozzle: But i see my friends after 30 hours.

[00:28] <nickrud> Elad: it's a gui tool, try it. If you knew to edit your grub boot line, you will have no problem understanding the partitioning gui
[00:28] <lyte> mysterycool: just use virtualbox, create a vdi image which is a file on your real hdd representing the "fake" hdd
[00:28] <Thanatos3762> Anyone know how to keep my processor speed from drawing down on idle?
[00:28] <Odd-rationale> artti: Have you considered unetbootin?
[00:29] <j0hng4lt> thanatos, y play aao?
[00:29] <DG19075> j_humphrey: there's an app called BurnCDCC which works very well in Windows to burn .iso images www. terabyteunlimited.com
[00:29] <nickrud> Elad: the new partition table will not be written without your explicit permission
[00:29] <j0hng4lt> u play aao?
[00:29] <FourX4Luvn> j0hng4lt: All you asked, that I saw, was how to make a directory you could save stuff to.  If you state the actual problem, perhaps someone could help you.
[00:29] <artti> Odd-rationale: Tried several times to do that.
[00:29] <j_humphrey> neil_d, i never turn it off
[00:29] <Thanatos3762> j0hng4lt> what?
[00:29] <Snurglewozzle> artti: then I recommend you burn a 7.10 cd at your friend's house.
[00:29] <MC_Lightning> http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-ca0106 i've installed this and still no multichannel sound :
[00:29] <MC_Lightning> can anyone help me?
[00:29] <artti> Odd-rationale: But it didn't found dnsmasq.conf
[00:30] <Elad> Nickrud: the solution I came up with was was in the forums you linked me :P
[00:30] <smayes3> Hi... I have somehow misconfigured usplash.. I now get only text after the grub menu.. no usplash ... same on shut down... I've tried reinstalling various packages and reconfiguring as well .. no luck... any geniuses here able to help me figure this out?
[00:30] <j0hng4lt> Okay, actual problem: I have a new apache install that has assigned localhost to /var/www, and I want to use it for testing php I write in quanta+.  quanta says I do not have permission to save to that folder...  How can I correct this?
[00:30] <artti> Snurglewozzle: I will do that.
[00:30] <j_humphrey> mc_lightning, dont ask to ask, just ask
[00:30] <MC_Lightning> o.O
[00:30] <BodomLaw> im getting poor dl speeds on utorrent from a private site i need some help
[00:30] <spaghetti_knife> How do I check which version of ubuntu I'm using?
[00:30] <Bodsda> hey, does anyone here have any knowledge of gvba? im getting really low speeds out of it, and cant find a way to increase them
[00:30] <nickrud> spaghetti_knife:   lsb_release -a    in a terminal
[00:30] <gold44> what's in the ubuntu dvd? where can i get a list of packages on the dvd?
[00:31] <spudratic0> is there a way to boost audio from the sound card tried all the sliders at 65% of volume I can barely hear it when in windows I could hear it at 15or 20 % any suggestions on reading as really can't read the irc screen that well it's me that can't see that well and would like some reading material so I can magniphy it thanks
[00:31] <lyte> j0hng4lt: best practise would be to (as root) set the owner of that directory to your user and the group as the apache user
[00:31] <lyte> s group
[00:31] <neil_d> j_humphrey: OK, there are two ways this can be done, you can register with a free DNS provider, to get a name like http://jow.dyndns.org (or many others) or you can use http://273.132,12,11, you will also need to alter the config of the modem/router so it knows to which computer to seed accesses to port 80 and 443 to.
[00:31] <FourX4Luvn> j0hng4lt: Ok.. 'sudo chown -R username:usergroup /var/www'
[00:31] <MC_Lightning> how do i enable surround sound?
[00:31] <Ferilad>  hello. i downloaded ubuntu from the website and burned it to a CD, but i can't boot it. can you guys tell me what should i do?
[00:31] <j0hng4lt> lyte: thx and how?
[00:31] <MC_Lightning> i have a sound blaster live 24 bit 7.1
[00:31] <astro76> j0hng4lt: check first it might be set up with a group owner already, ls -ld /var/www
 try the pcm
[00:31] <MC_Lightning> and i only get sound from the front channels
[00:31] <lyte> j0hng4lt: with the command FourX4Luvn gave you
[00:31] <khaotik> is there a way to watch Internet television using Ubuntu??
[00:31] <gold44> how to convert flash video to audio mp3?
[00:31] <DranDane_> How can I repear or create a new boot sector from the liveCD of ubuntu ?
[00:31] <j0hng4lt> astro76: it is root root
[00:32] <Dr_Willis> khaotik,  depends on what site is showing what, and how its showing it..
[00:32] <smayes3> Ferilad: make sure your BIOS is set to allo a boot from the CD Drive and also make sure the CD burned perfectly ... not too fast
[00:32] <astro76> j0hng4lt: make it root:www-data
[00:32] <spudratic0> pan lol whats the pcm and how do I get to it or better yet a page that explains it thanks
[00:32] <isthisnickvalid> Hi people!
[00:32] <artti> Hi.
[00:32] <Thanatos3762> hello person
[00:32] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[00:32] <astro76> j0hng4lt: then make yourself a member of that group
[00:32] <j0hng4lt> okay now it is jason jason
[00:32] <IndyGunFreak> isthisnickvalid: no its not.. :)
[00:33] <MC_Lightning> how can i enable multi-channel sound in ubuntu? i have a sound blaster live 24 bit and i only get sound from the front channels..
[00:33] <spaghetti_knife> I'm wondering: do I have to open the feisty and edgy repositories if I'm installing tor on gutsy? Here's the link to the source of my confusion: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR
[00:33] <j0hng4lt> astro, okay, how to add to that group?
[00:33] <BodomLaw> im getting poor dl speeds on utorrent from a private site i need some help
[00:33] <isthisnickvalid> I have a Dell inspiron 1520 with windows vista and it has 4 partitions (with factory stuff, such as Dell Media Direct) I don't want to delete any of it, is there any safe way to install ubuntu? Will Grub work well with vista?
[00:33] <FourX4Luvn> j0hng4lt: edit /etc/groups and add your username after the entry for www-data
[00:33] <IndyGunFreak> BodomLaw: does everything else download good?
[00:33] <astro76> j0hng4lt: it's pointless if you make it owned by jason:jason
[00:33] <FourX4Luvn> j0hng4lt: You'll have to log out and back in for the changes to be seen
[00:33] <Ferilad> smayes3: yeah i did set it up as you said but instead of booting it just flashes back to XP welcome screen. (I burned my disc in 8x)
[00:34] <isthisnickvalid> I've been reading but 4 partitions are master and it says I have to delete one of them...
[00:34] <jacob_> FourX4Luvn i runned vncviewer for linux, what do i type in into the vnc server?
[00:34] <BodomLaw> yes
[00:34] <j0hng4lt> I made it owned by jason jason and it worked, but you say that is not the best way to do it?
[00:34] <BodomLaw> it deos
[00:34] <MC_Lightning> how can i enable multi-channel sound in ubuntu? i have a sound blaster live 24 bit and i only get sound from the front channels..
[00:34] <Dr_Willis> BodomLaw,  you may want to check the wine forums/guides - i also recall the utorrent web site having some forums on using it with wine
[00:34] <BodomLaw> my port is fowarded
[00:34] <IndyGunFreak> isthisnickvalid: grub will wrk with vista fine... i've never heard of needing to delete a partition.
[00:34] <DranDane_> How can I repear or create a new boot sector from the liveCD of ubuntu ?
[00:34] <FourX4Luvn> jacob_: The server is Windows, right?
[00:34] <heartsblood> what do you call those programs that seem to float ontop of a persons desktop?  widgets?
[00:34] <IndyGunFreak> heartsblood: yes
[00:34] <Dr_Willis> heartsblood,  widgets, desklets, applets,  gdesklets
[00:35] <IndyGunFreak> !gdesklets | heartsblood
[00:35] <ubotu> heartsblood: gDesklets provides an advanced architecture for desktop applets -- tiny displays sitting on your desktop in a symbiotic relationship of eye candy and usefulness. Homepage is http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org/
[00:35] <yoluca> BodomLaw are you using utorrent via wine ?
[00:35] <neil_d> IndyGunFreak: he will if all four are masters and he wants another partition for ubuntu
[00:35] <spudratic0> thanks all and pan I think you gave me enought to go on thank you
[00:35] <BodomLaw> yes i am
[00:35] <thebest_> hey
[00:35] <LjL> j0hng4lt: i'm not entirely sure why ubuntu comes with /var/www owner by root:root by default... but what you should do, i think, is make it owned by root:www-data, and add your user to the www-data group
[00:35] <dasickis> hey
[00:35] <FourX4Luvn> neil_d: You mean 'primary' :)
[00:35] <MC_Lightning> how can i enable multi-channel sound in ubuntu? i have a sound blaster live 24 bit and i only get sound from the front channels..
[00:35] <DranDane_> What is the difference between the ext2 and ext3 partition type ?
[00:35] <yoluca> BodomLaw ok, did you tried qbittorent ?
[00:35] <neil_d> FourX4Luvn: yes.
[00:35] <IndyGunFreak> neil_d: may be, i really don't know.. i dont' dual boot, but doesn't make much sense
[00:35] <IndyGunFreak> to have 4 masters
[00:35] <FourX4Luvn> DranDane_: ext3 is ext2 with journaling.. basically
[00:35] <Dr_Willis> DranDane_,  ext3 has a journel and so is a little more reliable.
[00:36] <nickrud> LjL: other way, www-data:root is correct, for allowing apache to write to /var/www (like with drupal or others)
[00:36] <dasickis> Is there a command that can tell you a person's wireless interface?
[00:36] <dasickis> I need it for an app I'm developing
[00:36] <BodomLaw> no i havent
[00:36] <DranDane_> Thank you.
[00:36] <BodomLaw> should i
[00:36] <dasickis> for any given ubuntu computer or is it default to eth1?
[00:36] <LjL> j0hng4lt: see nickrud
[00:36] <GuyFromHell> which package contains modules (for wireless cards)
[00:36] <MC_Lightning> how can i enable multi-channel sound in ubuntu? i have a sound blaster live 24 bit and i only get sound from the front channels..
[00:36] <schilling> hello
[00:36] <yoluca> BodomLaw my fav one
[00:36] <dasickis> I tried googling a number of things nothing showed up
[00:36] <BodomLaw> k ill try
[00:37] <dasickis> that worked
[00:37] <FourX4Luvn> jacob_: The server is Windows, right?
[00:37] <BodomLaw> can i sudo apt it?
[00:37] <neil_d> IndyGunFreak: its a limit of the partitioning system (thanks to MS). if you want more than four partitions a primary has to be split into secondary partitions.
[00:37] <schilling> can anyone help me with ubuntu 7.10 and hamachi
[00:37] <BodomLaw> apt-get watever
[00:37] <spaghetti_knife> Anyone try installing tor on gutsy?
[00:37] <yoluca> BodomLaw if you add the repos to your source list , then yes
[00:37] <astro76> nickrud: in that case how is his user going to be able to write being a www-data group member?
[00:37] <neil_d> j_humphrey: you still there ?
[00:37] <IndyGunFreak> neil_d: i see, never dealt with that one before.
[00:37] <LjL> BodomLaw: which app?
[00:38] <Ferilad> do i need anything extra other than the ISO in order to install ubuntu on a PC?
[00:38] <FourX4Luvn> spaghetti_knife: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-tor-with-vidalia-gui-on-ubuntu.html
[00:38] <LjL> astro76: uhm you have a point too. is apache running as root to begin with, or www-data?
[00:38] <j_humphrey> neil_d, im still here, i was just setting up my dns
[00:38] <Dr_Willis> Ferilad,  well you need to burn the iso to a cd properly.
[00:38] <Dr_Willis> Ferilad,  or use some other method to install.
[00:38] <LjL> i'll answer my own question... www-data. but i don't know about the group
[00:39] <nickrud> astro76: the idea behind the www-data owner is about allowing apache to write to /var/www , not about users. Usuall 755 permissions, no group write
[00:39] <artti> Here, in Estonia time is 2:38 AM. :P
[00:39] <neil_d> j_humphrey: how did it go.
[00:39] <j_humphrey> neil_d, it went well
[00:39] <Syxx> does anyone know another why to install Steam without Win-Doors
[00:39] <icesword> artti, do not know where is it
[00:40] <LjL> nickrud: well so if he wants to write himself, www-data:www-data should do?
[00:40] <nickrud> astro76: I just sudo copy stuff in, then change only the dirs that I need apache to write to. I got really freaky once and wrote acl's for /var/www, but that was overkill
[00:40] <artti> icesword: near Finland
[00:40] <neil_d> j_humphrey: do you know how to change the config of you modem ?
[00:40] <snkmad> Syxx msiexec /i steaminstall.msi
[00:40] <artti> icesword: next to Russia
[00:40] <j_humphrey> neil_d, yeah
[00:40] <dasickis> j_humphrey: Is there a command that can tell you a person's wireless interface?
[00:40] <icesword> artti, yeah
[00:40] <nickrud> LjL: yes, if the dirs get the right perms on them
[00:40] <dasickis> j_humphrey: I need it for an app I'm developing
[00:40] <LjL> nickrud: well a setuid group might help i suppose
[00:41] <artti> icesword: And where are you from?
[00:41] <icesword> artti, u guess
[00:41] <j_humphrey> dasickis, i dont know what you're talking about
[00:41] <M-Nagato> does anyone know why flashing windows would lag wine (i don't know if it's specific to wine, but it happens when playing world of warcraft)? it does it even in window mode
[00:41] <Syxx> what is that Snkmad
[00:41] <artti> icesword: america, england?
[00:41] <snkmad> Syxx its wine
[00:42] <icesword> artti, why u guess that,there are so many countries
[00:42] <Syxx> is it a command line
[00:42] <FourX4Luvn> Ok guys.. I have a problem.  I do lots of work with remote X.  Running several X servers on my workstation and running remote apps from several different computers.. All this wasn't a problem until I was tasked with doing the same thing with a Mac OS X machine.  I can't seem to find any information where the Mac is the one serving the applications.  Anyone have any resources they could point me to?
[00:42] <dasickis> j_humphrey: Is there a command that allows you to find out a person's interface?
[00:43] <dasickis> j_humphrey: like mine is eth1 but is it different on different PCs
[00:43] <dasickis> j_humphrey: or is it always eth1?
[00:43] <artti> icesword: Yeah, there's Vatikan but it is so small. You probrably won't live there.
[00:43] <DranDane_> How can I repear or create a new boot sector ?
[00:43] <j_humphrey> dasickis, i have no idea, im just trying to set up a server
[00:43] <neil_d> j_humphrey: let me know when you get that right, who did you setup the DNS with ?
[00:43] <heartsblood> IndyGunFreak, I checked gdesklets site and it doesn't seem like they have very many desklets.  I was wondering if you had ever seen a widget that would work with evolution, specifically the daily/weekly events.
[00:43] <dasickis> o ok
[00:43] <FourX4Luvn> dasickis: No, it's different depending on their setup.  What if you just prompt the usr to enter the information themselves?
[00:43] <j_humphrey> neil_d, i set it up with dynedns
[00:43] <icesword> artti, right click on my name ,see
[00:43] <Syxx> Snkmad the is what i get
[00:44] <artti> iceswrod: Maybe you live in China? Japan?
[00:44] <Syxx> http://pastebin.ca/906825
[00:44] <dasickis> FourX4Luvn: I'm trying to create an app so that they just run it
[00:44] <artti> icesword: Country unknown.
[00:44] <dasickis> FourX4Luvn:  I was thinking to do an ifconfig and find the second interface
[00:44] <GuyFromHell> nevermind, a make uninstall on the iwl4965 folder fixed my problem...
[00:44] <israfil> whats a good IDE C++ for linux/ubuntu
[00:44] <icesword> artti, then whois my ip
[00:44] <dasickis> FourX4Luvn: Basically I need something to figure out all the wireless networks they can see
[00:44] <FourX4Luvn> dasickis: Then perhaps write it to take the interface as an argument.  The wireless interface is not always second.  It may be first, it may be third.
[00:45] <thegothguy> hey i have an ubuntu install problem
[00:45] <dasickis> FourX4Luvn: Basically the same way networkmanager does
[00:45] <prince_jammys> dasickis: see if you can somehow use the output of --> ip addr show
[00:45] <astro76> israfil: kdevelop, anjuta
[00:45] <dasickis> FourX4Luvn: that's what i thought
[00:45] <dasickis> prince_jammys: i'll try now
[00:45] <prince_jammys> dasickis: there's bound to be something more efficient
[00:45] <speeddemon8804> !linksys > speeddemon8803
[00:46] <FourX4Luvn> dasickis: That's all I can t hink of myself, because there's no telling where it will be detected.. Or even which one would be the right one (for instance if they have two wireless interfaces).
[00:46] <israfil> kdevelop is that for kde?
[00:46] <dasickis> FourX4Luvn: So how should I consult the user to find their wireless interface?
[00:46] <Syxx> snkmad you there
[00:46] <thegothguy> im trying to install to an externa hd and my install gets between 15% to 78% and stops responding any sugguestions?
[00:46] <artti> icesword: WhoIs doesn't give me any country name.
[00:46] <neil_d> j_humphrey: do you want automatic update of the DNS when your IP changes, or will you do it manually ?
[00:47] <FourX4Luvn> dasickis: Well, it depends on how you want to write the program.  you could write it to take the interface as an argument on the command line.. Or have it prompt them at the right time.. Or write a preferences panel...
[00:47] <Liono_> need help. stuck for an hour
[00:48] <icesword> artti, then u go to some whois site,like u google whois,then use that whois my ip
[00:48] <FourX4Luvn> artti: You're on the right track though.. Try traceroute :)
[00:48] <Liono_> i need a script that runs on boot. and soon after kde lauches and desktop is visible, it locks screen. 2. i need the script to lock screen 'after every 30 minuts of unlock'    is this right :?
[00:48] <Liono_>   activate screen "DISPLAY=:0.0 kdesktop_lock --forceunlock"
[00:48] <Liono_>   set timeout "at now +60min 'kdesktop_lock --forcelock'"
[00:48] <Syxx> can someone help me with installing Steam
[00:48] <j_humphrey> neil_d, i'll do it automatically
[00:49] <j_humphrey> neil_d, but i dont have access to opening ports on the modem, so i think its futile to try it now
[00:49] <Snurglewozzle> Be back later, my friends.
[00:49] <artti> FourX4Luvn: Traceroute doesn't have affect.
[00:49] <eradicus> hi i'm getting  error: linux/module.h: No such file or directory while compiling a module, i have the complete kernel headers and sources, what could be the problem?
[00:50] <icesword> artti, i am in china
[00:50] <FourX4Luvn> ack!  what the heck kind of Linux distro doesn't install traceroute by default?
[00:50] <crimsun_> FourX4Luvn: use tracepath instead.
[00:51] <FourX4Luvn> interesting.. When did that become the norm?
[00:51] <eradicus> FourX4Luvn, ubuntu
[00:51] <FourX4Luvn> eradicus: Thank you.  :-P
[00:51] <smayes3> Ferilad: disable all other boot sources in the BIOS other than the CD Drive
[00:51] <BodomLaw> so um qbittorent got even worse speeds
[00:51] <FourX4Luvn> crimsun_: Thanks
[00:52] <FourX4Luvn> artti: Best guess.. he's from somewhere near Hanoi
[00:52] <crimsun_> FourX4Luvn: if you /must/ have traceroute, there're the paris-traceroute, tcptraceroute, traceproto, traceroute-nanog, and mtr packages to consider.
[00:53] <crimsun_> FourX4Luvn: of those, likely traceroute-nanog is your better bet.
[00:53] <FourX4Luvn> crimsun_: No.. tracepath works fine.. I just have never heard of it..  Capital of Vietnam?
[00:54] <eradicus> hi i'm getting  error: linux/module.h: No such file or directory while compiling a module, i have the complete kernel headers and sources, what could be the problem? anyone who encountered the same?
[00:54] <FourX4Luvn> artti: Well, tracepath shows it routing through Hanoi just a couple hops away from you.
[00:54] <FourX4Luvn> artti: Err.. not you... icesword
[00:54] <neil_d> j_humphrey: ok, you will need to install something to do that for you (dhclient I think), I will try and find it for you.
[00:55] <j_humphrey> eradicus:: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-147364.html
[00:55] <j_humphrey> neil_d, no, i dont have access on my router firewall

[01:00] <artti> icesword: I have boring.
[01:00] <cwillu> pros977, but -t should let you type on those commands, or just use -phigh to force dpkg to default them
[01:00] <icesword> artti, ?
[01:00] <j_humphrey> neil_d, its not terror: linux/module.h: No such fileerror: linux/module.h: No such file or directory while compiling a moduleerror: linux/module.h: No such file or directory while compiling a module default one or directory while compiling a modulehe
[01:00] <j_humphrey> neil_d, its not the default one*
[01:00] <neil_d> j_humphrey: the auto DNS update package is ddclient
[01:00] <pros977> cwillu you rock
[01:00] <pros977> cwillu phigh it is
[01:00] <cwillu> pros977, look at cluster-ssh in the repository too
[01:00] <BodomLaw> and my port is forwarded
[01:00] <artti> iceswrod: i have nothing do to.
[01:00] <Liono_> how to auto run a script at boot and keep it running when a user logs in.  (in a way that the user or any other user cant stop that script from running or delete the file or logs out of it)?
[01:01] <artti> I just(about 24 hours ago) got 19. =)
[01:01] <Flannel> !bum | Liono_
[01:01] <ubotu> Liono_: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[01:01] <pros977> cwillu I've heard of that
[01:01] <j_humphrey> neil_d, what did you just ssay about the default thing? pidgin just crashed
[01:01] <pros977> cwillu I have passwordless authentication on all my machines
[01:01] <BodomLaw> there is tons of seeders for both torrents
[01:01] <pros977> cwillu then I wrote a script that goes out and contacts each machine sequentially
[01:01] <cwillu> pros977, cssh is just a wrapper around ssh, so ud_rsa/dsa will still work
[01:01] <icesword> artti, that is good,u can have girl friend now
[01:01] <thegothguy> need help on instal ubuntu to external hd
[01:02] <cwillu> pros977, parallelize that stuff :p
[01:02] <neil_d> j_humphrey: I use xchat,  I would suggest finding out what the default password is for that modem/router and see if that works
[01:02] <artti> icesword: I can!? :D
[01:02] <Liono_> Flannel if i make a script run as sys service. not one can stop it. ?
[01:02] <pros977> cwillu why parallelize?
[01:02] <BodomLaw> at the risk of being obnoxious HELP ME!!!
[01:02] <pros977> cwillu thanks for the advice btw
[01:02] <cwillu> pros977, sequential must take forever
[01:02] <FourX4Luvn> Ok guys.. I have a problem.  I do lots of work with remote X.  Running several X servers on my workstation and running remote apps from several different computers.. All this wasn't a problem until I was tasked with doing the same thing with a Mac OS X machine.  I can find all kinds of information about how to access applications from the Mac, but I can't seem to find any information where the Mac is the one serving the applications.  Anyo
[01:02] <icesword> artti, what is u mother languauge
[01:02] <BodomLaw> its hitting 50kB when it should be at 42kB/s
[01:02] <artti> icesword: Estonian.
[01:03] <Flannel> Liono_: If its running as root, then you'd need to be able to sudo to stop it.  And you can remove people's abilities to tweak it through sudoers, even while giving them the ability to sudo in general if you'd like.
[01:03] <cwillu> FourX4Luvn, arbitrary mac programs?  not sure you can do that
[01:03] <icesword> artti, there are so many languauges
[01:03] <cwillu> pros977, np
[01:03] <artti> icesword: Yes... Over 5000
[01:03] <pros977> cwillu I suffix all my commands with the & symbol
[01:03] <artti> icesword: i can say something in estonia.
[01:03] <Liono_> Flannel ya.. ic.. but that script will run when i (admin) log in too.? i dont want that
[01:03] <icesword> artti, many of them are dieing
[01:03] <cwillu> pros977, okay, ya
[01:03] <pros977> cwillu so, if I run eject on every computer in the room, all the drives pop out at once
[01:04] <cwillu> pros977, seriously, look at cssh
[01:04] <redwyrm> hi. I'm trying to produce a CD image where all files are in ASCII-betical order, but mkisofs doesn't provide a way to do that. any ideas?
[01:04] <Flannel> Liono_: It will be running all the time, regardless of anyone logged in or not.
[01:04] <pros977> cwillu I will
[01:04] <FourX4Luvn> cwillu: Yes.. Basically.. I want a vnc session with the Mac serving the applications.. but I don't want VNC because I want a seperate session.. I don't want to share or take over the session that the user at the Mac is using.
[01:04] <cwillu> pros977, basic usage is as simple as "cssh host1 host2 host3 host4"
[01:04] <cwillu> pros977, and then yo get 4 windows + a control window, and if you type in the control window, it goes to all of them
[01:04] <Liono_> Flannel ic.. nice idea..
[01:04] <pros977> cwillu dpkg --configure -a --phigh
[01:04] <BodomLaw> !
[01:04] <pros977> cwillu ?
[01:05] <cwillu> FourX4Luvn, you might have to look at the mac "x server" (not to be confused with X as in the display server)
[01:05] <artti> There's estobuntu.
[01:05] <neil_d> j_humphrey: did you get the message that ddclient is the does the auto updates if the DNS
[01:05] <uni_674> what version of GTK does ubuntu 7.10 gutsy gibbon come w/ ?
[01:05] <Liono_> Flannel is there  a way that in a user login say 'user1' who is not root or admin. a script is run by a sudoer /admin on boot (so he cant stop it) ?
[01:05] <cwillu> pros977, looks right,
[01:05] <pros977> cwillu nope
[01:06] <FourX4Luvn> cwillu: You mean Mac OS 10 server?  The OS.. (I use '10' to avoid confusion with 'X')
[01:06] <FourX4Luvn> ?
[01:06] <cwillu> yep
[01:06] <artti> Dam, i should install Estobuntu.
[01:06] <cwillu> FourX4Luvn, but I have no idea what they'd support
[01:06] <Flannel> Liono_: Like I said, the script will run at boot, and runs constantly regardless of anyone being logged in or not.  It will run as whatever user you set it up to run as, and assuming thats not the user, they won't be able to fiddle with it.
[01:06] <FourX4Luvn> damn
[01:06] <neil_d> artti: what is estobuntu ?
[01:06] <cwillu> FourX4Luvn, under windows, there's a hack you can apply to get 3 sessions out of a normal xp workstation, otherwise you need terminal services
[01:07] <cwillu> FourX4Luvn, it's usually a big ticket item, doing what you want to do
[01:07] <pros977> cwillu dpkg: conflicting actions -p (--print-avail) and -
[01:07] <artti> neil_d: It is translated gutsy, firefox and other several things to my mother language
[01:07] <adub> why do values in a host machines internal arp table expire after several minutes?
[01:07] <j_humphrey> neil_d, it wasnt the default one
[01:07] <cwillu> pros977, ya, I was thinking dpkg-reconfigure
[01:08] <FourX4Luvn> cwillu: Right.. I am working from ubuntu.. and I have several other *NIX systems that serve a desktop to my ubuntu workstation.. I was hoping to do the same with the Mac.  I want to administer the Mac without disturbing my wife's work, is what I'm trying to do.
[01:08] <neil_d> artti: ok! thanks
[01:08] <cwillu> pros977, man dpkg, search ('/' key) for force, and look at the conf stuff
[01:08] <artti> neil_d: http://estobuntu.org/estobuntu-english
[01:08] <cwillu> FourX4Luvn, ya;  honestly, this isn't gonna be the best channel for advice on that
[01:08] <neil_d> j_humphrey: I don't know how you can get around that.
[01:08] <Liono_> Flannel oh ic.  got an idea. i make the rc.local run as admin.   it will run on user1 too. but he wont be able to stop it. but when i log in. i can stop it?
[01:08] <Dr_willis> rc.local allready runs as admin
[01:08] <cwillu> FourX4Luvn, pros977 I gotta run right away;
[01:09] <narothepharoh> is there a gentoo channel ?
[01:09] <cwillu> pros977, that man page should give you what you need
[01:09] <Dr_willis> everything in rc.local gets ran as root.
[01:09] <FourX4Luvn> cwillu: I know.. but I don't know where else to ask either  heh.  Searching google, as I said, only gives me answers for going the other way
[01:09] <pros977> cwillu thanks
[01:09] <narothepharoh> #Gentoo
[01:09] <FourX4Luvn> cwillu: Thank you for the input though
[01:09] <j0hng4lt> can any1 help me with the following error when starting quake2: could not mmap /dev/dsp
[01:09] <cwillu> FourX4Luvn, you could try doing admin stuff via ssh, just from the terminal
[01:09] <Mark_Milliman> is there a command line option to force an upgrade?  I had a device crash ubuntu (not upgrades fault) in the middle of going from 7.10 to 8.04.
[01:09] <cwillu> but that' all I got for ideas
[01:09] <j0hng4lt> using restriced driver for nvidia
[01:09] <Flannel> Liono_: No.  It only runs once.  Your script will be running constantly, as root (or whatever).  Your unprivs users can't touch it.  You could via sudo if you'd like.  But, of course, you'd be stopping it for everyone when you did so, not just yourself.
[01:09] <Mark_Milliman> All packages downloaded but many did not install
[01:09] <cwillu> FourX4Luvn, try #macosx
[01:09] <gold44> anyone running ubuntu server?
[01:10] <Flannel> !anyone | gold44
[01:10] <mike_> gold44: yes
[01:10] <ubotu> gold44: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:10] <FourX4Luvn> cwillu: I do that already, but Mac is so gui-centric that I just can't figure out how to do some things without the gui tools.
[01:10] <artti> So... everybody have problems...
[01:10] <FourX4Luvn> cwillu: Ok.. thank you
[01:10] <tonyyarusso> gold44: I do.  Any particular question?

[01:10] <ali1234> hi. i tried to install apt-file and it has seemingly frozen at "Setting up apt-file (<IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu2)" i suspect it is trying to download a huge file on my gprs connection. is this correct?

[01:10] <gold44> how is server? doe it come with gui? or just stay at console after boot?
[01:10] <LjL> gold44: console

[01:10] <Liono_> Flannel yes. i stoped it and its stopped for every one. but the system reboots. and the script will start again ?
[01:10] <j0hng4lt> I am assuming that the error has to do with my video card...
[01:10] <Flannel> Liono_: yes
[01:11] <j0hng4lt> liono\
[01:11] <tonyyarusso> gold44: You can add X if you wish, but general practice is not to.
[01:11] <Flannel> gold44: The server is regular Ubuntu with a server specific kernel, no GUI stuff installed by default, and the CD allows a few pre-fab server packages installed by default
[01:11] <Liono_> Flannel thanks. so nice of you to explain
[01:11] <tonyyarusso> gold44: All of the packages and such are the same - the only difference is the default setup.
[01:11] <gold44> tonyyarusso: i want to run server. currently running desktop on lappy
[01:12] <Liono_> Flannel can you help me with some scripting issue?
[01:12] <uni_674> how do i get GTK 2.12 then LjL
[01:12] <LjL> uni_674: you already have it.
[01:12] <Liono_> j0hng4lt talking to me?
[01:12] <Flannel> Liono_: You'd probably get better help in #bash, or whatever other language you're writing in
[01:12] <uni_674> then why is aurora trying to tell me i cannot compile it because i dont have GTK 2.10
[01:12] <Liono_> Flannel no. i cant find help there
[01:12] <j0hng4lt> liono, no, was going to, hit enter by accident
[01:13] <LjL> uni_674: wait, wait, one thing is having a library, another thing is having the *C headers* to compile C programs using that library.
[01:13] <j0hng4lt> any1 have quake 2 working?
[01:13] <gold44> tonyyarusso: i probably need to apt-get a bunch of things after installation.  want to use as web / file server, maybe as mail server too

[01:13] <chao1> How do I install vmware
[01:14] <tonyyarusso> gold44: Those are availalbe as just checkboxes in the server installer.
[01:14] <LjL> !vmware > chao1    (chao1, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:14] <Davo_Dinkum> does wget http://gertjan.freezope.org/replicator/http-replicator_3.0_i386.deb work for anyone else?
[01:14] <Dr_willis> j0hng4lt,  that game is so old - its proberly trying to access the sound card wrongly. You could disable the sound to see if it works. also there MAY be updated GPL variants of Quake2 that just use the old versions data files.
[01:14] <j0hng4lt> the oss sould output driver shows okay, failing on dev/dsp
[01:15] <Liono_> Flannel this script will do what? i want it to lock screen "after 30mins past the unlock event" and i want it to be running so that the screen will be locked every time after it has been unlocked (available) for 30 mins.   activate screen "DISPLAY=:0.0 kdesktop_lock --forceunlock"
[01:15] <Liono_>   set timeout "at now +60min 'kdesktop_lock --forcelock'"
[01:15] <j0hng4lt> any other games that have decent gui for linux that i can download?
[01:15] <j0hng4lt> besides aao and quake2

[01:16] <j0hng4lt> quake 2 used to work on ubuntu, and americas army used to as well. but I cannot find anything to play that is not tetris...
[01:16] <Flannel> Liono_: Before you do that, have you checked to see if KDE has something like that already?
[01:16] <Dr_willis> Padman,  Tremulus,  lets see... One other...
[01:16] <Muzza> heard about nquake?
[01:16] <gimme_snuggles> j0hng4lt: i know of a great game, one of my favorites. Enemy Territory

[01:17] <j0hng4lt> can I apt-get any of those games?

[01:22] <Dr_willis> Hertta,  boot it up and see if it installs?
[01:22] <Liono_> Flannel lastly. can you tell me how to log all the "screen unlocking events"  for ever. and continuous even resumable after shutdowns ?
[01:22] <Hertta> Dr_willis it doesn't.
[01:22] <artti> Odd-rationale: Well that part is done.
[01:22] <Hertta> I want to know is it hardware related or am I running out of resources
[01:23] <FourX4Luvn> Thanks to whoever it was that suggested #macosx.  The figured out a workaround for me :)
[01:23] <Odd-rationale> artti: I can finish an upgrade on an newly installed system in about 30 min
[01:23] <Dr_willis> Hertta,  what dosent work on it? Youmay want to use the alternative isntall cd - its better for low-ram systems
[01:23] <Odd-rationale> artti: Is it installing?
[01:23] <artti> Odd-ratinale: currently is "setting up..."
[01:23] <geekworx> Hello people how can i RUN this game ( Counter Strike 1.6 ) from my Linux Ubuntu 7.10 ?
[01:24] <Odd-rationale> artti: Has it been like that long?
[01:24] <jpeterman> geekworx, Install Steam under WINE
[01:24] <prince_jammys> geekworx: windows game?
[01:24] <Hertta> The installation just "hangs", mouse is moving but the system does not respond. I tried trice to install but always the same thing. no CD/HDD usage eihther, and I have waited for over 45minutes each time it has hanged, and nothing has happened during that time
[01:24] <geekworx> prince_jammys, yes its windows game
[01:24] <geekworx> jpeterman, how to install that?
[01:24] <prince_jammys> geekworx: check the database at winehq/org
[01:24] <Hertta> I suspect is is hardware problem
[01:24] <geekworx> jpeterman, tell me the command example: apt-get isntall underwine?
[01:24] <jpeterman> geekworx, sudo apt-get install wine
[01:24] <prince_jammys> geekworx: winehq.org
[01:25] <artti> Odd-rationale: about 45 mins from internet and now 15 minutes installing, setting, updating...
[01:25] <jpeterman> geekworx, check winehq.org, like people are saying, but it should be pretty simple. download a .exe installer of Steam, then double click on it after installing Wine
[01:25] <geekworx> so when i install wine i can install counter strike ( windows game ) ?
[01:25] <Odd-rationale> artti: OK
[01:25] <geekworx> ok
[01:25] <jpeterman> geekworx, Correct. Wine inserts a compatibility layer. It's very easy, I have CS installed on Ubuntu
[01:26] <jpeterman> Hi, I'm not entirely sure which channel to ask this in. There's this extension for FF that only works on FF/Windows, so I installed the Windows version of FF under Wine. I tried to drag the extension onto FF, but it didn't work. Is there a way to add it some other way?
[01:26] <geekworx> jpeterman, aha thx dude i'm downloading and installing wine right now
[01:26] <artti> About 0.55 AM i installed Ubuntu on my computer. Now i upgrade.
[01:26] <fdsafds> How do I switch to Runlevel3?
[01:26] <Odd-rationale> jpeterman: Can you install it from the ff website?
[01:27] <dasickis> FourX4Luvn: Sorry about that went out for pizza
[01:27] <n2diy> fdsafds: init 3
[01:27] <jpeterman> Odd-rationale, , I dont think the extension is on there
[01:27] <icesword> artti, i still awake
[01:27] <icesword> u
[01:27] <fdsafds> it didn't do anything
[01:27] <artti> icesword: me too.
[01:27] <icesword> artti, what version
[01:27] <fdsafds> It took it as a valid command but nothing happened.
[01:27] <artti> iceswrod: i should sleeping.
[01:27] <Odd-rationale> jpeterman: The extension (.xpi) is on your local hdd??
[01:27] <Elad> has anyone here ever ran Ubuntu under Vmware?
[01:27] <jpeterman> Odd-rationale, correct.
[01:28] <artti> icesword: Upgrading to 5.04
[01:28] <jonasjokoon> Hello
[01:28] <icesword> artti, u should,it is not good
[01:28] <fdsafds> I also tried loading in recovery mode but that put me in runlevel 1, when I tried to go to runlevel 3 it loaded gdm
[01:28] <fdsafds> any suggestions?
[01:28] <Odd-rationale> jpeterman: hmm. never had to to that myself. Where did you get it orginally?
[01:28] <artti> icesword: Yes, i sould sleep. Everyone here sleeps. But not me.
[01:29] <fdsafds> I would really like to get to run level 3 so that I can try installing a newer nvidia driver.
[01:29] <fdsafds> But when I try to do it, it says I am in run level 1.
[01:29] <icesword> artti, u computer won't get tired, not u
[01:29] <jpeterman> Odd-rationale, ESPN360.com. They have a proprietary movie player
[01:29] <fdsafds> It tells me a command to get to run level 3, but when I use it, it loads gdm.
[01:29] <Dr_willis> ubuntu dosent use the runlevels  the same way that most disrtos do
[01:29] <jonasjokoon> I have an Ibook g4 (apple mac thing), is it possible to install ubuntu with the 7.10 cd on this powerPC mchine ? I hve to tke the 32 bits version ?
[01:29] <Odd-rationale> jpeterman: Can you install it from there?
[01:29] <Dr_willis> go to runlevel 3, kill the gdm service.. there ya go
[01:30] <lookaway> hey, does anyone know how I can use DCC download a file with Xchat? I can't seem to do it...
[01:30] <artti> icesword: my ancient computer is just slow.
[01:30] <jpeterman> Odd-rationale, Hmm, when I click on the link, it displays just garbled stuff.
[01:30] <fdsafds> Dr_willis it brings up the login screen.
[01:30] <fdsafds> Would I be able to install the nvidia driver using run level 1?
[01:30] <Dr_willis> fdsafds,  kill the gdm service.. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[01:30] <Odd-rationale> jpeterman: Don't know. Sorry :(
[01:30] <Dr_willis> fdsafds,  if you dont stop it.. it will restart.
[01:30] <icesword> artti, how could u say it ancient,u still got 256m ram
[01:31] <fdsafds> So when I am in run level 1 I type /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[01:31] <artti> icesword: and only 8GB disk space and 500Mzh
[01:31] <Odd-rationale> gtg
[01:31] <fdsafds> and then I type init 3?
[01:31] <icesword> artti, that cpu is slow
[01:31] <Dr_willis> fdsafds,  i dont mess with init levels.. if you want gdm to be not running you 'stop' the service - reguardless of the runlevel.
[01:31] <artti> icesword: i'm agree with you.
[01:31] <Dr_willis> fdsafds,  you could go to runlevel 3, then stop the service
[01:31] <Dr_willis> or to whatever runlevel you want. :) and stop the se5rvice
[01:31] <jonasjokoon> is it possible to install ubuntu on a mac ?
[01:32] <Dr_willis> !ppc | jonasjokoon
[01:32] <ubotu> jonasjokoon: PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ
[01:32] <icesword> artti, u should use some small linux onit,like puppy,damn small linux
[01:32] <fdsafds> How do I run a command when I have the login screen in front of me?
[01:32] <Dr_willis> fdsafds,  use the console. alt-ctrl-f1
[01:32] <geekworx> jpeterman, after that ( when i install wine ) just to open the CD of counter-strike 1.6 and will works?
[01:32] <artti> icesword: i had dam small linux on memory stick.

[01:41] <IndyGunFreak> oops
[01:41] <neil_d> artti: I don't think so, what download speed have you got.

[01:42] <IndyGunFreak> artti: i would probably backup important files, and do a clean install of Gutsy, but thats just me
[01:42] <Timmothy> Greetings! Kay, so I just started using Ubuntu (7.10) and everything's good, 'cept for I tried to log into Megaupload.com, and for those who don't know, it uses flash. I installed the nonfree adobe plugin and restarted firefox, but it's all... gimpy. I'm not able to click login because of it. Is there another way to make it work, or am I just screwed?
[01:42] <artti> IndyGunFreak: haven't nothing to backup, and i can't directly to gutsy
[01:43] <Jupp2> are the screenlets part of the standard repositories?
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> artti: thats why i siad clean install.
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> then if you have no files, it should be relatively easy
[01:43] <neil_d> artti: its within bounds I suppose.  are you going to update further ?
[01:44] <artti> neil_d: i'll try
[01:44] <talisein> Hi, one of my RAID devices failed recently and I replaced it. But now every reboot the computer does not create the /dev/sdc1 device and the RAID needs to be reassembled.
[01:44] <IndyGunFreak> updating from 5.04, to 5.10, then 6.06, then 6.10, then 7.04, then 7.10, willb e problematic at best, and will probably take freaking forever(if it even works).. it will be quicker to download a gutsy cd, burn it, and install from it.
[01:44] <artti> IndyGunFreak: i can't burn on CD, can't do floppy install, any other choices to get directly gutsy
[01:45] <IndyGunFreak> why can't you burn a CD?
[01:45] <dabbill> any one got an idea why movie player wont keep sound and video sync when playing DVD's i have to pause and play the movie every 15mins or so to resync it.
[01:45] <maybeway36> artti: try the mini.iso
[01:45] <artti> IndyGunFreak: i have old computer.
[01:46] <talisein> you can install via usb drive if your computer will boot off one
[01:46] <IndyGunFreak> maybeway36: but if he can't burn a CD, how will that work.
[01:46] <IndyGunFreak> artti: how old?
[01:46] <artti> IndyGunFreak: i don't know. I got it free. 8Gb, 500Mhz, 256 RAM
[01:46] <neil_d> talisein: I have heard that a RAID rebuild can take a long time, has the rebuild finished before you turn the computer off.
[01:46] <artti> maybeway36: mini.iso?
[01:47] <talisein> neil_d, yes, I have let the reassembly finish several times before rebooting.
[01:47] <IndyGunFreak> artti: ok..,  i think you'd still need to burn a cd for the mini-iso, but i could be wrong
[01:47] <ubuntufreak> I have an error using the VirtualBox in Ubuntu 7.10 as it needs to add vboxusers how do i do it
[01:47] <IndyGunFreak> artti: so you don't have a CD drive, or its broken, or what?
[01:47] <foibles> hi there
[01:48] <neil_d> talisein: how about the controller are you sure its OK ?
[01:48] <artti> IndyGunFreak: i have cd drive
[01:48] <maybeway36> you could get the kernel and initrd off the mini.iso and put it on some other media
[01:48] <IndyGunFreak> oh ok, it doesn't burn
[01:48] <foibles> im having trouble playing HD ("high definition") files
[01:48]  * Liono_ sees no one knows his problems in 11 channels and 4 networks 2500 users !
[01:48] <foibles> they come out messed up or doing play at all
[01:48] <foibles> why is this?
[01:48] <heartsblood> is it possible, when installing a package from apt, to automatically install recommended packages as well?
[01:48] <heartsblood> y
[01:48] <heartsblood> sorry wrong window
[01:48] <talisein> neil_d, I think the controller is fine. When I manually reassemble the RAID I can read files off of it fine
[01:49] <maybeway36> artti: are you going to install it ona that has internet access
[01:49] <maybeway36> *on a computer
[01:49] <artti> maybeway36: yes
[01:49] <prince_jammys> heartsblood: mmm aptitude does this, but i think apt-get doesn't
[01:49] <IndyGunFreak> artti: maybe you could try a debian net install,
[01:49] <maybeway36> artti: you should try unetbootin
[01:49] <maybeway36> it supports ubuntu, debian, etc.
[01:49] <IndyGunFreak> unetbootin?
[01:50] <maybeway36> ill find the url
[01:50] <heartsblood> prince_jammys, thanks I didn't realize there was a difference
[01:50] <artti> maybeway36: i tried before, but then there was problem with dnsmasq.conf
[01:50] <prince_jammys> heartsblood: there is -- it's best to stick to one or the other though, they can get in each other's way
[01:50] <gold44> has ubuntu server always been less than 650mb in the past?
[01:50] <artti> IndyGunFreak: well i could try that again
[01:50] <gold44> has ubuntu server iso file always been less than 650mb in the past?
[01:50] <IndyGunFreak> try what again?
[01:51] <maybeway36> artti: that's strange
[01:51] <IndyGunFreak> artti: have you tried doing a debian floppy install maybe?
[01:51] <hmuller> crazy question: If ubuntu uses initramfs for boot, why is it named initrd?
[01:51] <prince_jammys> prince_jammys: aptitude does it with the -r option
[01:51] <neil_d> talisein: I have a software RAID 5 but its never failed, in about 5 years so I can't help much here.
[01:51] <maybeway36> artti: http://superb-west.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/lubi/unetbootin_ubuntu710rev99_all.deb
[01:51] <artti> IndyGunFreak: haven't floppys home and don't know where those to buy
[01:51] <maybeway36> hmuller: it's always names initrd I guess :P
[01:51] <talisein> I just have a simple RAID 1
[01:52] <prince_jammys> heartsblood: from man aptitude: " -r Treat recommendations as dependencies when installing new packages"
[01:52] <IndyGunFreak> artti: you can buy floppies at any computer store.
[01:52] <talisein> googling tells me some people have a similar problem but no one answers them
[01:52] <IndyGunFreak> maybeway36: so what does that file do
[01:52] <artti> IndyGunFreak: haven't seen those years
[01:52] <MedBook> Hello, whenever I load my Ubuntu disc and press "Start or Install Ubuntu" it takes me to "BusyBox 1.1.3" and does nothing from there, what am I doing wrong?
[01:52] <IndyGunFreak> artti: they're still readily available at best buy, etc.
[01:53] <heartsblood> prince_jammys, yea I'm reading it now, ty.
[01:53] <threefcata> how can i set mplayer as the default player in gnome?
[01:53] <artti> inimesekene: Terekest.
[01:53] <lookaway> aahhh...guys, I resolved that DCC transfer problem...it seems, that it works when I need to confirm the send request, but since it was in 'auto accept' it didn't start no idea why...xD
[01:53] <damaltor> hello everybody, i have a kind of weird problem. after running ubuntu feisty fawn since it was the newest version on my (this) computer without any problems, now i booted the computer and the following occurs: every ~5 secons, the computer is completely stuck for about one second. very regularly, never seen before. what could that be? thx for any help...

[01:54] <ahorriblemess> what happens if I delete my alsa-utils/lib/drivers folders after I did the whole /configure, make, make install thing?
[01:54] <maybeway36> artti: no
[01:54] <ahorriblemess> do I lose everything or has it already been applied?
[01:55] <inimesekene> und pole, tegelt siin peaks rääkima vist inglise keeles... reeglid... muidu veel lüüakse välja
[01:55] <maybeway36> artti: that deb should let you boot to the Ubuntu installer from the GRUB menu once installed
[01:55] <donald_> ahorriblemess: u mean the folder where u unzip the tar files?
[01:55] <agroker> artti, "communarid aahju" all I can say in your language
[01:55] <ahorriblemess> yeah i unzipped them into my home folder
[01:55] <ahorriblemess> kinda dont want them there
[01:55] <prince_jammys> agroker: what language is it?
[01:56] <agroker> Pricey, estonian
[01:56] <donald_> that;s fine. once all are installed, the folder is not needed

[01:56] <agroker> artti, western ukraine
[01:57] <ahorriblemess> donald_: I'm not talking about the .tar folder, I mean the extracted folder with the package in it
[01:57] <ahorriblemess> donald_: just want to double check, things have been going smoothly lately
[01:57] <donald_> ahorriblemess: the modules etc get installed into other places
[01:57] <artti> maybeway36: and i download package UNetbootin Ubuntu 7.10?
[01:57] <niuq> hi, i have a problem with compiz-fusion, the themes just disappears, the title bar it does not appears in any window
[01:57] <maybeway36> Yes, make artti: sure its a .deb file
[01:58] <niuq> ubuntu-effects would be helpful?
[01:58] <ahorriblemess> donald_: ok great, sorry, I just wanted to be sure
[01:58] <ahorriblemess> thanks!
[01:58] <artti> maybeway36: unetbootin_ubuntu710rev99_all.deb
[01:58] <pawan> any software to convert audio bit rate
[01:58] <magick_> I'm hearing some static blips while playing music through ALSA on my intel-hda onboard sound card. The speakers aren't the problem and the mp3 is just fine so it comes down to ubuntu. Any ideas?
[01:58] <maybeway36> looks right
[01:58] <artti> maybeway36: you have experience?
[01:58] <maybeway36> artti: i've done this before
[01:58] <jport> Hey can someone help me? Once i add a job in /etc/cron.hourly it will automatically run or do i have to edit anything else ?
[01:58] <maybeway36> not much, but a couple times
[01:59] <maybeway36> it's pretty simple, toy reboot and  a new option is on your GRUB
[01:59] <artti> maybeway36: how long it takes?
[01:59] <tehcheez> portupgrade -a
[01:59] <tehcheez> SOrry, wrong channel.
[01:59] <maybeway36> artti: to install?
[02:00] <artti> maybeway36: yes
[02:00] <maybeway36> a while, it has to download all ubuntu componments online
[02:00] <donald_> tehcheez: portupgrade -arR is better
[02:00] <cpk1> using the stock feisty kernel and cant seem to get madwifi to work, tried using restricted modules and compiling madwifi from trunk svn but still cant insert ath_pci... any idea why?
[02:00] <artti> maybeway36: hours?
[02:00] <niuq_> while using compiz-fusion it suddenly the title bar disappears, any idea?
[02:00] <tehcheez> donald_: emerge world? :)
[02:00] <IndyGunFreak> maybeway36: what does that do, download the new OS, install it over the old one?
[02:00] <maybeway36> artti: depends on your interne speed
[02:00] <artti> Here it is 4.00 AM at morning.
[02:01] <maybeway36> artti: if you tell it do "use entire hard drive" yes
[02:01] <greenmanspirit_> why is libdvdcss not in the repos?
[02:01] <blubb0r> can i change the icon of a folder in ubuntu 7.10??
[02:01] <maybeway36> artti: you could also look at ShipIt to get a real ubuntu CD
[02:01] <donald_> niuq_: emerald installed? broken?
[02:01] <niuq_> donald_: it is installed
[02:01] <donald_> tehcheez: not a gentoo user..
[02:01] <artti> maybeway36: i takes weeks
[02:01] <IndyGunFreak> maybeway36: artti i doubt shippit would work, only becuase he would need the alt. install CD, and they don't ship that.
[02:01] <IndyGunFreak> artti: have you loooked onlien for a place to purchase the alt. install CD?
[02:01] <tehcheez> donald_: I have it sorta running :)
[02:01] <prince_jammys> blubb0r: right-click on it and properties, i think -- then click on the icon
[02:02] <MedBook> Whenever I try to boot the LiveCD of Ubuntu, the screen goes to "BusyBox 1.1.3" and does nothing after that, is there anything I can do to make it work?
[02:02] <artti> IndyGunFreak: haven't yet time to look that
[02:02] <donald_> tehcheez: sadistic arent u?
[02:02] <IndyGunFreak> artti: there's lots of places that have them.
[02:02] <maybeway36> artti: how fast is your internet conection?
[02:02] <BarryToeman> Anyone use claws-mail? Where does it store the actual mail files at?
[02:02] <artti> maybeway36: unetbootin_ubuntu710rev99_all.deb is downloaded. :)
[02:02] <greenmanspirit_> is libdvdcss not made for 64 bit machines?
[02:02] <maybeway36> artti: good
[02:02] <donald_> greenmanspirit_: for good reasons. it's in medibuntu
[02:03] <artti> maybeway36: 60-70kb/s maybe. I go take connecetion test.
[02:03] <greenmanspirit_> donald_: what reasons would there be not to compile it for 64 bit?
[02:03] <palpate> hello all
[02:03] <maybeway36> artti: it will take really long to downlaod then
[02:04] <agroker> artti, if you are on wifi are you sure that is a good idea to upgrade?
[02:04] <palpate> i just installed ubuntu on my ps3 and im looking for a good nntp binaries downloader somebody can help me ?
[02:04] <artti> agroker: with Unetbootin?
[02:04] <maybeway36> artti: it probably wont work on wifi - the installer doesn;'t have wireless support
[02:04] <donald_> greenmanspirit_: i dont know much abt 64bit. i dont use it even on a core2duo. too many things dont work on it
[02:04] <palpate> no problem i use wired connection
[02:04] <IndyGunFreak> artti: http://on-disk.com/product_info.php/products_id/366
[02:05] <artti> maybeway36: When i make network connection then i choose ethernet instead wireless
[02:05] <maybeway36> artti: if you have ethernet
[02:05] <agroker> artti, yes
[02:05] <greenmanspirit_> donald_: this is the first thing i have run into that is causing me problems on 64-bit ubuntu, for the most part they have made everything work
[02:05] <maybeway36> artti: but that site IndyGunFreak posted is probably a good idea
[02:05] <donald_> greenmanspirit_: java? flash?
[02:06] <donald_> greenmanspirit_: is 64 bit any faster?
[02:06] <greenmanspirit_> donald_: both installed for firefox without an issue
[02:06] <agroker> palpate, Gnus is the best :-)
[02:06] <donald_> greenmanspirit_: seems like time to try 64 bit.
[02:06] <palpate> anybody know a good newsgroup binaries downloader i can use on gnome ?
[02:07] <greenmanspirit_> donald_: i have noticed a speed boost on a few things, but not a ton, but i'm using a 2.4 dual core processor so that might be why its fast
[02:07] <agroker> palpate, gnus-gtk ;-)
[02:07] <Lycus> Anyone here ever setup a private bittorrent tracker?
[02:07] <salah_> I have always been wondering something. Why do I never dream when im drunk?
[02:07] <spaghetti_knife> I'm wondering: why does my updater have aids? It dls at 15 kB/s, then drops to 0.
[02:07] <palpate> ok ill try this ;) thx :p
[02:07] <agroker> salah_, you obviously dream
[02:07] <spaghetti_knife> Synaptic's fuxx0rzed.
[02:07] <blubb0r> bla\nbla
[02:07] <n2diy> salah_: you do, you just don't remember them.
[02:07] <spaghetti_knife> Anyone else have that problem?
[02:07] <salah_> agroker, why do I never remember them?
[02:07] <hmuller> salah_: because you've beat your subconscious into an alcoholic submission
[02:08] <MarcC> how do I install Batik? I can't find it in the repos
[02:08] <agroker> salah_, because alcohol switches your neocortex off and you sleep deeply
[02:08] <Dr_willis> MarcC,  compile it from source?
[02:08] <Gigi70> kubuntu or pclinuxos
[02:08] <pawan> any software to convert audio bit rate
[02:08] <salah_> agroker, neocortex?
[02:08] <aldacom> hola
[02:08] <spaghetti_knife> Anyone having trouble with synaptic?
[02:08] <agroker> salah_, conscious part of your brain
[02:08] <MarcC> Dr_willis: thanks, it's just odd that this would not be in the official repos...a google search indicates that it is/was
[02:08] <IndyGunFreak> spaghetti_knife: no, working fine
[02:09] <spaghetti_knife> GRRR
[02:09] <spaghetti_knife> Okay, thanks.
[02:09] <tafgeek> how can I change the update manager settings?
[02:09] <agroker> spaghetti_knife, works great, I'd say
[02:09] <aldacom> dont speak spanish
[02:09] <prince_jammys> !es | aldacom
[02:09] <ubotu> aldacom: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[02:09] <spaghetti_knife> Okay. I'll see if uninstalling tor will do it.
[02:09] <tafgeek> I did and want to change them back and forget how I did it
[02:09] <IndyGunFreak> spaghetti_knife: why would tor mess up synaptic?
[02:10] <aldacom> gracias uboto
[02:10] <salah_> and if I dream when im drunk.. Do I think like a drunk person in my dreams?
[02:10] <spaghetti_knife> I don't know. synaptic just has AIDS right now. It's really annoying.
[02:10] <spaghetti_knife> It all started when I got tor.
[02:10] <spaghetti_knife> I think.
[02:10] <spaghetti_knife> Maybe.
[02:10] <IndyGunFreak> spaghetti_knife: i doubt its aids
[02:10] <spaghetti_knife> Anyone able to cure PC aids?
[02:10] <IndyGunFreak> its a user malfunction
[02:10] <gorilla> sounds like pebkac to me.
[02:10] <spaghetti_knife> okay.
[02:11] <spaghetti_knife> you know how to cure it?
[02:11] <n2diy> salah_: try asking in #philosophy?
[02:11] <Tommis> Ubuntu rocks, good job pplz
[02:11] <prince_jammys> spaghetti_knife: sudo apt-get remove --purge ubuntu-herpes
[02:11] <IndyGunFreak> spaghetti_knife: well, considering you've yet to really explain *WHAT* the problem is, i don't know if i can cure it, saying it has aids, while it appaerntly amuses you, tells the rest of us nothing
[02:11] <spaghetti_knife> Okay.
[02:12] <spaghetti_knife> Whenever I download anything over synaptic, update, install, anything, it starts out at 8-13 kB/s, and then slows down to 0.
[02:12] <spaghetti_knife> What should I do to diagnose the problem?
[02:12] <IndyGunFreak> i doubt thats a problem w/ synaptic.
[02:12] <IndyGunFreak> what version of ubuntu are you using?
[02:12] <IndyGunFreak> if it was a synaptic problem, it wouldn't start at all.
[02:13] <jak3> yes problem with ubuntu version, try rollback to 7.04
[02:13] <Flannel> spaghetti_knife: Try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, see what sort of speeds you get there
[02:13] <j0hng4lt> just got alien arena - not a bad game...
[02:13] <IndyGunFreak> jak3:  to my knowledge, its imposible to roll back to 7.04
[02:14] <spaghetti_knife> gutsy gibbon
[02:14] <IndyGunFreak> j0hng4lt: try open-arena, its good.
[02:14] <spaghetti_knife> 11.4 kB/s
[02:14] <j0hng4lt> open-arena, can I apt-get it?
[02:14] <Blair`m> Hello... I'm trying to get my sister set up with a computer she got for $50 ^^' the only problem is with her USB network adapter
[02:14] <IndyGunFreak> j0hng4lt: yup....
[02:14] <IndyGunFreak> !info open-arena | j0hng4lt
[02:14] <ubotu> j0hng4lt: Package open-arena does not exist in gutsy
[02:14] <IndyGunFreak> oops.
[02:14] <IndyGunFreak> wrong package name.
[02:14] <IndyGunFreak> but i know you can
[02:14] <spaghetti_knife> now 153 B/s
[02:15] <IndyGunFreak> !info openarena | j0hng4lt
[02:15] <ubotu> j0hng4lt: openarena (source: openarena): A fast-paced 3D first-person shooter. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.0-4 (gutsy), package size 747 kB, installed size 1648 kB
[02:15] <Blair`m> it seems to automatically load the rt73 driver, and it connects to the network all right - my router registers its MAC address and everything
[02:15] <spaghetti_knife> Now 10.1kB/s
[02:15] <spaghetti_knife> It's realy slow
[02:15] <spaghetti_knife> And it goes up and down without logic
[02:15] <Blair`m> but it never gets to the point where it can load webpages or ping
[02:15] <artti> maybeway36: download 558 kb/s, upload 120kb/s
[02:15] <IndyGunFreak> thats pretty good.
[02:15] <spaghetti_knife> Whenever I download things over rapidshare, it's really fast.
[02:15] <spaghetti_knife> 553 kB/s
[02:15] <tafgeek> how can I change the update manager settings; I did and want to change them back...can't remember how I did it
[02:16] <j0hng4lt> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[02:16] <j0hng4lt> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[02:16] <j0hng4lt> what does that mean?
[02:16] <IndyGunFreak> j0hng4lt: lol, close synaptic
[02:16] <Dr_willis> j0hng4lt,  check out 'urbanterror' also - its not in the repos. You gotta download it from their web site.
[02:16] <Flannel> spaghetti_knife: Those are different servers you're getting them from.  Have you tried changing mirrors?
[02:16] <spaghetti_knife> how do i change mirrors?
[02:17] <j0hng4lt> is open arena like quake3 or something?
[02:17] <rsk> j0hng4lt: ye
[02:17] <IndyGunFreak> j0hng4lt: yes.. its good, i like it.
[02:17] <IndyGunFreak> j0hng4lt: i suck, but i like it.
[02:17] <j0hng4lt> i used to play america's army religiously - but they quit updating for linux
[02:17] <Liono_>  how to log all the "screen unlocking events"  for ever. and continuous even resumable after shutdowns ?
[02:17] <artti> well i go now sleep
[02:18] <Shau1> how do you set mplayer as the default in ubuntu?
[02:18] <IndyGunFreak> Shau1: default for what?
[02:18] <Fare> what are the differences between ubuntu and debian, once installed?
[02:19] <Fare> I'm a debian user, but wanna know if ubuntu is better to install for my gf
[02:19] <IndyGunFreak> Fare: not a whole lot.., Ubuntu is just a little more user friendly
[02:19] <spaghetti_knife> Flannel: How do I change mirrors?
[02:19] <n2diy> How can I restart/reset a comm port? Every couple of weeks my external modem appears to be busy to Ubuntu. Even when I disconnect  the modem, kppp tells me it is busy, so it seems to be a software issue?
[02:19] <donald_> j0hng4lt: u tried to run package installer / updater as a normal user. doesnt work
[02:19] <Shau1> I am trying to use mplayer instead of totem and would like to set mplayer as the default video player.
[02:19] <Blair`m> Fare - Unless she's a leet h@x0r, ubuntu is it
[02:19] <IndyGunFreak> Blair`m: i don't know, i'm far from l33t, and I really like Debian.
[02:20] <agroker> !tell Fare about debian
[02:20] <BarryToeman> Fare: if you have some extra bandwidth for the month you can try the livecd.
[02:20] <kostkon> spaghetti_knife, maybe from "system -> administration -> software sources"?
[02:20] <Flannel> spaghetti_knife: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors has a list, open up /etc/apt/sources.list and change the URLs (suggest commenting out the old ones, and duplicating)
[02:21] <IndyGunFreak> kostkon: impossible, he said his synaptic has AIDS, no way that will work
[02:21] <kostkon> IndyGunFreak, oh, ok
[02:21] <IndyGunFreak> :)
[02:21] <n2diy> IndyGunFreak: I didn't think Linux was prone to virii?
[02:22] <Dr_willis> n2diy,  its not 'prone' to them :)
[02:22] <IndyGunFreak> n2diy: lol, apparently his is, or it might have been his lame attempt at humor.
[02:22] <agroker> n2diy, linux virii usually attack between the cair and keyboard
[02:22] <xoai> lol
[02:22] <Dr_willis> PEBKAC
[02:22] <Shau1> I am trying to use mplayer instead of totem and would like to set mplayer as the default video player.
[02:22] <hmuller> Fare: the ubuntu livecd is a fair indication of what it is going to be like installed
[02:23] <n2diy> agroker: roger on the loose nuts between the chair and keyboard.
[02:23] <Shau1> Open to any suggestions?
[02:23] <spaghetti_knife> Okay, last time I had synaptic running in a terminal and I control-z'd it, the process still ran.
[02:23] <spaghetti_knife> How do I kill the process?
[02:23] <IndyGunFreak> Shau1: for what?.. avi's, for firefox, what?
[02:24] <cpk1_> !aptfix | spaghetti_knife
[02:24] <ubotu> spaghetti_knife: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[02:24] <Dr_willis> ctrl-z put it in the background
[02:24] <Shau1> I am using firefox
[02:24] <Fare> ok. What if I want to use my favorite debian lisp packages on her system? Can I just import a debian unstable sbcl in ubuntu?
[02:24] <Dr_willis> use the bg/fg command to bring it back
[02:24] <hmuller> Shau1: this looks promising: http://zebardast.wordpress.com/2007/11/22/how-to-change-gnome-default-media-player/

[02:24] <foo> I am having this extremly weird problem.  I press a letter and it duplicates, or something. This literally magically broke over night. I did an apt-get update && upgrade yesterday... I'm thinking that may have something to do with this. I tested RAM, no errors after 5 passes. I tried 3 keyboards, same error on all (broke one due to frustration). Any ideas on this? I'm out of ideas. If I boot into win
[02:25] <Fare> foo: same problem in console mode or not?
[02:25] <Fare> foo: might be some broken X kbd config
[02:25] <foo> Fare: I don't think so, no, let me see.
[02:26] <foo> Fare: I did try this, it was ok IIRC. It's just hard to see the problem, it takes a few minutes to happen... kind of spontaneous.
[02:27] <agroker> foo, did you try to look into /var/log  for clues?
[02:27] <foo> agroker: As I said, nothing weird in the logs. :/
[02:27] <foo> Fare: It's looking ok so far.
[02:27] <bzaks> Wasn't native dual monitor support added into Gutsy?
[02:28] <Fare> foo: are you using something like synergy or what else?
[02:28] <foo> Fare: No
[02:28] <dakotaUbuntian> If anyone needs help and wants to graphically show their problem: http://www.budgiephoto.com/   New, free image hosting. I just thought I would share the word.
[02:28] <Dr_willis> ive used dual montirs under linux - for years. :)
[02:28] <foo> dakotaUbuntian: That's not sharing, that's spamming.
[02:28] <Fare> foo: if you can try in console mode *after* the problem happens
[02:28] <bzaks> Dr_willis. Could you help me get my xorg set up? I tried a couple of tuts, is there one you know that works well?
[02:29] <Ashfire_Server> i restarted my ubuntu gateway and now i can only connect to it via a certian computer
[02:29] <Fare> to see if the problem persists when console switching or so
[02:29] <foo> Fare: Doing that now, no go.
[02:29] <Dr_willis> bzaks,  totally depends on your video card for starters.
[02:29] <foo> Fare: eg. not seeing anything strange here
[02:29] <Fare> what does "no go" mean?
[02:29] <bzaks> nvidea
[02:29] <bzaks> nvidia***
[02:29] <BarryToeman> Fare: you can use the Ubuntu alternate cd if you want a minimal install (command-line install in the menu) to build on.  best way in my opinion.
[02:29] <Ashfire_Server> could someone help be figure what i did wrong in iptables or route?
[02:29] <Fare> so if the console is fine after X breaks, it's an X-only problem
[02:29] <donald_> bzaks: dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[02:29] <Mushrooms> I am having trouble with pidgin, is there anyone who can help me?
[02:29] <Dr_willis> bzaks,  theres an nvidia gui config tool that can enable the Twinview and other settings.
[02:29] <Narlzac85> My onboard sounds stopped working a while back (probably broken), so I've been using Microsoft Lifechat USB headset for sound. It only works in Totem and Exaile (probably rythmbox too, I forget). My question is this: Do you guys think that 8.04's new sound system will fix this issue for me? I have the headset set as the default output in sound settings, but I'm guessing that the applications that work are all using GStreamer
[02:29] <Dr_willis> bzaks,  use 'sudo nvid<tab>' to see what ones are installed.. IF you have the nvidia drivers isntalled they should beinstalled also
[02:30] <bzaks> Got the nvidia-glx-new installed. So I should just look for the nvid
[02:30] <Fare> is there a minimal netinstall CD, as in debian?
[02:31] <bzaks> dr_willis: settings?
[02:31] <IndyGunFreak> Fare: i don't think so, but there might be.
[02:31] <bzaks> hey sweet!
[02:31] <bzaks> thanks Dr_willis
[02:31] <bzaks> you know ...
[02:31] <bzaks> I really should've thought of that on my own
[02:31] <bzaks> sorry everyone
[02:33] <gretsch_drums> hello, i am having an ubuntu (nvidia) problem and wondering if anyone can help
[02:33] <BarryToeman> Fare: no, unfortunately.
[02:33] <spaghetti_knife> Flannel: I changed mirrors, but it's still moving really, really slowly.
[02:34] <Mushrooms> oh noes >.< I think i did something epically bad to ubuntu
[02:34] <gretsch_drums> we have finally gotten the nvidia drivers to work in 7.10 ubuntu
[02:34] <gretsch_drums> but now (all of a sudden, when the drivers work), the desktop is extremely sluggish
[02:34] <gretsch_drums> with almost 3d effects
[02:34] <gretsch_drums> and the menus are slow to render
[02:34] <donald_> Mushrooms: u grew Mushrooms in it?
[02:34] <IndyGunFreak> Mushrooms: well, share it with us so we can make fun of you
[02:35] <Ashfire_Server> do i have to reset a network interface after changing iptables?
[02:35] <amenado> nope
[02:35] <illriginal> Does anyone know if there's a converter for Ape to MP3?...
[02:35] <box-> anyone know if there is a good web design program for ubuntu ?
[02:36] <BarryToeman> Ashfire_Server: you have to restart iptables though.
[02:36] <Mushrooms> Yesterday i installed a package by the name of compiz something or other to try out the stuff they had on offer. But today when i booted my ubuntu, pidgin didn't seem to register any japanese, korean, or chinese characters anymore
[02:36] <Fare> is there an introductory course for beginners?
[02:36] <Ashfire_Server> BarryToeman: how
[02:36] <gretsch_drums> i used to use monkey audio on win32
[02:36] <amenado> BarryToeman-> one does not restart iptables, only change the rulez
[02:36] <gretsch_drums> for APE to mp3
[02:36] <gretsch_drums> not sure if it's on linux now or not though
[02:36] <Ashfire_Server> i was about to say
[02:37] <Mushrooms> so i uninstalled the package, restarted, to see if that was giving me the trouble
[02:37] <Ashfire_Server> is there something i have to do for iptables to take effect?
[02:37] <Mushrooms> but nothing has returned to normal... so i hope i haven't done anything epically bad
[02:37] <amenado> none
[02:37] <PKdoR> I need help I cant delete files/folders or make file/folder on my home dir
[02:37] <PKdoR> it says I dont have oermision
[02:37] <amenado> one makes the firewall rules and the effect is immediate
[02:38] <Ashfire_Server> well i can't connect though the system from one computer but i can from another
[02:38] <amenado> PKdoR-> its really your home dir? which file?
[02:38] <gretsch_drums> does anyone know if there are any 3D effects that ubuntu runs on the desktop, and that hog resources?
[02:38] <donald_> Mushrooms: dont see how compiz would hurt the other apps
[02:38] <BarryToeman> amenado: heh, i meant you have to make sure the new rules are actually saved
[02:38] <Liono_> how to change system log behaviour. to include things or details. verbose.  etc?
[02:38] <Ashfire_Server> !pastebin > Ashfire_Server
[02:38] <PKdoR> amenado, any files, every file/folder
[02:39] <amenado> BarryToeman-> saving firewall rulez and restarting are two different processes
[02:39] <jack-desktop> why is there two "disk" icons on my desktop?
[02:39] <Mushrooms> donald_: I didn't think so either, but I was out of ideas, and decided to uninstall it and see what happens, but it hasn't fixed the problem
[02:39] <amenado> Liono_-> man syslogd
[02:39] <Mushrooms> donald_: do you think it has anything to do with scim?
[02:39] <amenado> Liono_-> man syslogd or maybe now syslog-ng
[02:39] <Liono_> ok
[02:39] <tehcheez> donald_: Yes I am sadistic.
[02:40] <BarryToeman> amenado: thanks for then enlightenment.
[02:40] <amenado> PKdoR-> what is the permission of your /home/username
[02:40] <amenado> BarryToeman-> you're welcome
[02:40] <illriginal> Does anyone know if there's a converter for Ape to MP3?...
[02:40] <donald_> Mushrooms: try checking the language settings again
[02:41] <Mushrooms> donald_: Do you mean for ubuntu or for pidgin?
[02:41] <PKdoR> amenado, it says "rrot" on the properties window
[02:41] <amenado> PKdoR-> how did you get to manage changing your home permission unless you are looking at /home/root ?
[02:41] <Syxx> i need some help i downloaded Steam in my Ubuntu 7.10 i have it installed but when i log in , it says  loging in as  (username) and thats it then i have to force quite can anyone help me
[02:41] <donald_> Mushrooms: both wont hurt
[02:41] <michael> What u need 2 download to make the 3D cube working ? has got anybody got a link?
[02:42] <mjw-> !compiz | michael
[02:42] <ubotu> michael: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion
[02:42] <PKdoR> amenado, it all stared by trying to install nero
[02:42] <Ashfire_Server> this is my iptables on the gateway system.
[02:42] <amenado> michael-> for one your video card has to support 3-d, then visit #compiz i believe
[02:42] <Ashfire_Server> http://pastebin.com/d27c96f66
[02:42] <Mushrooms> donald_: well in pidgin, I can't really find a place where i can tinker with language settings at all, but i guess for ubuntu it would be settings->administration-> language?
[02:42] <michael> Thankx
[02:43] <Syxx> i downloaded Steam in my Ubuntu 7.10 i have it installed but when i log in , it says  loging in
[02:43] <donald_> Mushrooms: yea. something like that. what language issues r u seeing?
[02:43] <AntLiOn> hello there. can someone help me with this problem that happened here: http://tinyurl.com/2am28f ? thanks
[02:43] <amenado> PKdoR-> do this  sudo chown -R  username.username /home/username
[02:44] <amenado> Ashfire_Server-> what exactly is the problem?
[02:44] <BagelMaster> No matter what media player I use, all my music always skips when I do a process on the computer, is there a very low-resource player that I haven't tried, or a way to fix this?
[02:44] <illriginal> Does anyone know if there's a converter for Ape to MP3?...
[02:44] <PKdoR> amenado, subtitut username for my ubuntu username?
[02:44] <amenado> AntLiOn-> same with you, what exactly is the issue?
[02:44] <amenado> PKdoR-> yes
[02:45] <Gast272> Hola
[02:45] <Mushrooms> donald_: When pidgin starts, I have some friends in Japan, and Korea, who have Japanese and Korean nicknames, It actually looks as large spaces. This is the first problem. The second one is that when I try to type Japanese to myself, it will also show up as blanks.. everything was ok yesterday >.<
[02:46] <Mushrooms> donald_: this only happens for pidgin, i am trying gedit and other programs now to really nail whether it is a pidgin problem or a ubuntu problem
[02:46] <donald_> Mushrooms: odd
[02:46] <PKdoR> amenado, you are a life saver
[02:46] <amenado> PKdoR-> nah, i only point out the errors people make sometimes
[02:46] <PKdoR> amenado, thank you
[02:47] <amenado> PKdoR-> you're welcome
[02:47] <Syxx> i downloaded Steam in my Ubuntu 7.10 i have it installed but when i log in , it says  loging in as  (username) and thats it then i have to force quite can anyone help me
[02:47] <Mushrooms> donald_: I'm pretty sure this may be a pidgin problem, because gedit, Kile, and other text editors don't have the same problem
[02:47] <gretsch_drums> anyone know if compiz.real can be safely removed, and still allow openGL to be properly supported?
[02:47] <mjw-> Mushrooms: maybe the folks in #ubuntu-jp  are more likely to have run across that?
[02:48] <Mushrooms> mjw-: will they allow me to speak english over there? I'm not good at speaking either japanese or korean >.< only learning
[02:48] <spaghetti_knife> I changed my mirror, but synaptic still dl's at <15 kB/s
[02:48] <mjw-> Mushrooms it's a japanese language room only, I think....maybe they'll be nice though ;)
[02:49] <Ashfire_Server> amenado: i can connect to the internet via the gateway (<IP_ADDRESS>) from my server (<IP_ADDRESS>) but not from my desktop (<IP_ADDRESS>)

[03:06] <Jahromeo> making a pastebin
[03:06] <Jahromeo> ? paste
[03:06] <Jahromeo> ! paste
[03:06] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[03:06] <amenado> Ashfire_Server-> and your server is which one?
 check out lsmod | grep v4l
 and reload them
[03:07] <juank_prada> loa: i used to have the option when selection Video for Linux 2 (v4l2) to select the device, but the device no longer appear

[03:07] <Ashfire_Server> amenado: ...there's only one server.
[03:07] <j0hng4lt> like with apt?
[03:07] <rsk> j0hng4lt: try nquake download from nquake.com
[03:07] <amenado> Jahromeo-> try dpkg-query -W  and lets see if its apt-get that is borked and not the dpkg system
[03:07] <Ashfire_Server> amenado: the ubuntu rack server
[03:07] <j0hng4lt> can I apt-get it?
[03:07] <activebeta> hi
[03:07] <Jahromeo> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56288/ - my apt-get is broken hence so is my adept - using kubuntu - fresh install - annoyed - havnt installed anything it was broke from start - install got stuck on mirroring repos for quite a few mins then moved on - think it corrupted
[03:08] <NigelS> Jahromeo: Jahromeo very odd, what version of ubuntu/kubuntu is this?
[03:08] <amenado> Ashfire_Server-> as you can see, you have two routers the desktop must traverse..so those are not configured properly
[03:08] <Ashfire_Server> j0hng4lt: you could look in add/remove programs
[03:08] <juank_prada> loa: im getting this after rmmod ->  Removing 'v4l2_common': Resource temporarily unavailable
[03:08] <Ashfire_Server> amenado: no, it traverses one.
[03:08] <j0hng4lt> I downloaded some from the package mgr
 bad(
[03:09] <gold44> how to type japanese in ubuntu?
[03:09] <amenado> Ashfire_Server-> then if only one, then the 2nd one may not be configure correctly
[03:09] <Jahromeo> nigels - 7.10 kubuntu from install cd i was sent from kubuntu
[03:09] <juank_prada> loa: how bad?
[03:09] <gold44> is there a japanese distro for ubuntu?
[03:09] <Ashfire_Server> amenado: data that is not going to a device on another router doesn't leave the router it's on
 i think you need reboot...
[03:09] <amenado> Jahromeo-> try dpkg-query -W  and lets see if its apt-get that is borked and not the dpkg system
[03:09] <Jahromeo> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56289/  - my dpkg-query -W paste as amenado wanted
[03:09] <Cpudan80> gold44: no... but you can get a japanese language package
[03:10] <juank_prada> loa: i already did.. i have rebooted like 3 times
[03:10] <mjw-> !jp > gold44
[03:10] <gold44> Cpudan80: what does the language package do? will gnome menu be in japanese?
[03:10] <Ashfire_Server> amenado: i need to update the diagram
 O_o
[03:10] <juank_prada> loa: i mean after the comming back from hibernate
[03:10] <amenado> Jahromeo-> okay that shows the dpkg is good, its the front end apt-get or aptitude thats not working
[03:10] <FourX4Luvn> gold44: You may want to check this out... http://www.mrbass.org/linux/ubuntu/scim/
[03:10] <Jahromeo> yeah apt-get is broken :(
[03:10] <Cpudan80> gold44: yes - along with everything else
[03:11] <gold44> mjw-: thx
[03:11] <Cpudan80> gold44: except maybe the directory names
[03:11] <FourX4Luvn> gold44: It's very old information, but perhaps it will push you in the right direction at least
 I don't now how to rmmod( -f mean force, but it didn't help(
[03:11] <amenado> loa modprobe -r modulename
[03:11] <NigelS> Jahromeo: you could try deleting your pkg db in /var/cache/apt on the basis that it could be broken somehow, then repeat the apt-get update
[03:11] <gold44> is there a chinese ubuntu channel too?
[03:12] <gold44> !chinese
[03:12] <NigelS> Jahromeo: obviously under no circumstance should apt-get seg fault

[03:12] <supersako> i am contemplating installing ubuntu on my laptop.. #1 is 20gb /, rest for /home a good partition scheme for ubuntu.. #2 can ubuntu be upgrade to future versions without having to reinstall the whole thing (ex. feisty -> gutsy)
[03:12] <Jahromeo> nigels how do i del it via console?
 <amenado> loa modprobe -r modulename
[03:12] <loa> try this
[03:12] <gold44> thanks people
[03:12] <root> hello
[03:12] <loa> amenado rmmod -f
[03:13] <NigelS> Jahromeo: "rm" deletes, "cd" changes directory
[03:13] <FourX4Luvn> supersako: Yes, you can update it at any time, downloading only what needs to be updated.
[03:13] <Shadow6363> for some reason decompression of rar files has been gradually slowing down, while the rest of the system hasnt been, any ideas why?
[03:13] <juank_prada> loa:  sudo modprobe -r v4l1_compat -> FATAL: Module v4l1_compat is in use.
[03:13] <xoai> rm - remove
[03:13] <Jahromeo> so does that rm dir as whole?
[03:13] <jack-desktop> how do i use "bootchart" that i got from synaptics?
[03:13] <iratik> How might I convert my regular ubuntu to ubuntu-studio ?
[03:13] <Flannel> Shadow6363: The same rar file (one big one?) or what?
[03:13] <xoai> Jahromeo: rm -rf
[03:13] <Flannel> iratik: They have instructions in #ubuntustudio
[03:14] <danbhfive> supersako: was that a question?
[03:14] <iratik> thanks
[03:14] <Jahromeo> xoai what does rm -rf do?
[03:14] <NigelS> Jahromeo: no, you can read about it in their man pages
[03:14] <amenado> loa Note that using just "modprobe -r" will clean up unused autoloaded modules and also perform the pre- and post-remove commands in the configuration file /etc/modules.conf.
[03:14] <NigelS> Jahromeo: dont type that
[03:14] <iratik> Jahromeo: removes recursively and forces (doesn't ask you before deleting) ... man rm
[03:14] <xoai> Jahromeo: that command will remove dir include file in it
[03:14] <eltux> anyone know of a good ftp client that doesn't suck as bad as FileZilla does?
[03:14] <KingMorpheus> hey guys. i need some help with installing ubuntu on my laptop
[03:14] <Jahromeo> so im in that dir what do you want me to remove?
[03:14] <Shadow6363> Flannel: different archives, about same size, although decompressing an archive i know went quickly before now also goes slowly
[03:14] <NigelS> Jahromeo: look, just cd /var/cache/apt and then if you ls you can see two .bin files
[03:15] <NigelS> Jobias: rm those two files
[03:15] <Leechzilla> I need help. I resized my NTFS and ext3 partitions using gparted. Now my NTFS partitions are not showing up. How do I fix this?
[03:15] <Jahromeo>  pkgcache.bin  srcpkgcache.bin
[03:15] <NigelS> Jahromeo: yep
 ok
[03:15] <danbhfive> Leechzilla: how are they not showing up?
[03:15] <eltux> Leechzilla: do you have a os on the NTFS partition?
[03:15] <Shadow6363> Flannel: does unarchiving use up swap space and/or tmp space/could i be running out?
[03:15] <BarryToeman> eltux: did you try "Places -> Connect to Server" in Gnome?
[03:15] <Leechzilla> danbhfive: I don't know
[03:15] <Leechzilla> eltux: Yeah, I have Vista
[03:15] <eltux> BarryToeman: no
[03:15] <danbhfive> Leechzilla: how did they show up before?
[03:16] <juank_prada> loa: what worries me is that not even by running ubuntu from the livecd, the webcam works (it used to )
[03:16] <Jahromeo> ok that seems to have fixed it via apt-get
[03:16] <Jahromeo> it now works
 lsof | grep video0
[03:16] <Jahromeo> lets try via adept
[03:16] <Leechzilla> danbhfive: It was there in Computer. It's not there anymore
[03:16] <Flannel> Shadow6363: Could just be the data itself.  I dont know if it writes to RAM first, or flushes to disk piecewise
[03:16] <spaghetti_knife> Sorry to be bothering you with the same problems as before, but could someone please help me with my synaptic? It's running really slowly.
[03:16] <eltux> Leechzilla: try booting into it and then booting into Ubuntu again. It happened with me (xp though)
[03:16] <spaghetti_knife> I even switched mirrors, and nothing changed.
[03:16] <spaghetti_knife> Is there a problem with my install?
[03:16] <NigelS> Jahromeo: cool, was a corrupted cache file then; of course the program still shouldn't have seg faulted
[03:16] <karunali> Hi I'm on a Apple iBook and I'm going to use the normal mouse button as right click and the tap click as normal click, is this possible ?
[03:16] <juank_prada> loa: done, it didnt show anything just the prompt again
[03:16] <Leechzilla> eltux: I can't boot into Windows either. It goes into the recovery console instead of going into Windows
[03:16] <spaghetti_knife> And if so, how can I figure out what it is?
[03:16] <eltux> BarryToeman: does it have a good graphical interface? That's what I'm looking for
[03:16] <danbhfive> Leechzilla: you can try sudo fdisk -l    see if it shows up there
[03:17] <KingMorpheus> ?
[03:17] <Jahromeo> k nigels thanks for help and everyone else too :)(
[03:17] <Shadow6363> no idea how accurate this might be, but it seems as if previous archives are still taking up some sort of temporary space or process and as such when i go to unarchive the next, there isnt room/memory
[03:17] <Jahromeo> will play around then see what happens
[03:17] <Ashfire_Server> amenado: uploading the new one.
[03:17] <BarryToeman> eltux: it shows up in Nautilus file manager.
[03:17] <Jahromeo> does it make a diff if you keep adept + synaptic on your pc?
[03:17] <DropKickMurpheys> can someone help me install a game from a tar.gz file? i don't remember the commands in terminal
[03:17] <eltux> BarryToeman: ooh, thanks :3
 Do your check your problem on launchpad? googling?
[03:17] <NigelS> Jahromeo: nope, they're just diff frontends to the same tools
[03:17] <Rcommander> Hey guys I am running Gutsy and want to know how to install SopCast
[03:18] <Leechzilla> danbhfive: Okay, it's there. But when I mount it, it says the NTFS is marked to be in use.
[03:18] <juank_prada> loa: i did but found nothing similar to this..
[03:18] <spaghetti_knife> Please, help.
[03:18] <Jahromeo> gonna install synaptic find it nicer to use
[03:18] <NigelS> DropKickMurpheys: well tar -xzvf will extract such an archive
[03:18] <NemesisD> anyone in here own an eee? my wifi connection keeps dropping
[03:18] <Rcommander> NemesisD what type of encryption?
[03:19] <danbhfive> Leechzilla: hmmm, yep, no idea, sorry
[03:19] <BarryToeman> eltux: it will also show the connection on the left below your partitions/mounted devices and can be persistent.
[03:19] <juank_prada> loa: if it was something that happened due to some configuration issue ... wouldnt it work when running ubuntu from the LiveCD?
[03:19] <karunali> Hi I'm on a Apple iBook and I'm going to use the normal mouse button as right click and the tap click as normal click, is this possible ?
[03:19] <NemesisD> Rcommander, none
[03:19] <eltux> BarryToeman: thanks, I'll try it out with my website
