[09:05] <_ropak_> once more please :(
[09:05] <FuM> Does anyone know how to install drivers for my xgl using the terminal console?
[09:05] <iratsu> anyone have any brand suggestions for laptop hard drives?
[09:05] <jharr> HaYZaM: use a newer version of ghost or stop spamming the channel.
[09:05] <Vlet> darwich: you can just click ok - it just had to be run to set up some stuff

[09:06] <stefg> !backup > HaYZaM
[09:06] <darwich> Okey done .. what now ?
[09:06] <darwich> Vlet: Done now ..
[09:06] <HaYZaM> yes  , backup .. i wanna backup my system
[09:06] <stefg> !backup > HaYZaM
[09:06] <Pici> HaYZaM: see the pm from ubotu
[09:06] <anna> hi there
[09:06] <Vlet> darwich: Now, you will have a directory in your home directory called .wine and within that is a directory called drive_c
[09:06] <neverblue2> !repeat | steafg :)
[09:06] <ubotu> steafg :): Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[09:07] <HaYZaM> whats " pm "
[09:07] <SirBob1701> pm = private message
[09:07] <Pici> HaYZaM: private message
[09:07] <anna> my ubuntu on my notebook break..  I have a backup so i could simply install a new ubuntu there
[09:07] <darwich> Vlet: Yess ?
[09:07] <Vlet> open up your home folder, and in the View menu of the file browser, turn on 'show hidden files'
[09:07] <stefg> lol @ neverblue
[09:07] <hyper_ch> hiho, is there a way how I can do this?  I have two nics and two independant networks... how can I make that application 1 only uses nic1 and application2 only uses nic2?
[09:07] <usr13> I need to configure a winmodem for my 7.04 system.  Anyone point me in some direction to get started?
[09:08] <stuart-> what difference does linux mint have if it's based on ubuntu?
[09:08] <stefg> !dialup | usr13
[09:08] <ubotu> usr13: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[09:08] <Vlet> go into that .wine folder, and into drive_c and then into Program Files. Copy your warcraft install from your windows drive into that
[09:08] <anna> but how can I check my harddisk for errors, so I know if i have to buy a new one first?
[09:08] <Pici> stuart-: You should check with them on that.
[09:08] <zendo> Hi. Can someone please suggest me some (preferably lightweight) emacs clone besides "Zile" and "Qemacs"?
[09:08] <crptx> hello

[09:08] <heydabop> Is it possible to install Ubuntu 7.04 from a live CD, without starting Ubnutu from the CD?
[09:08] <neverblue2> stefg, :)
[09:08] <anna> any ideas how to check the harddisk for hardware errors from the ubuntu install cd?
[09:09] <pete83> zendo, how about emacs?
[09:09] <heydabop> Or an alternate install from the Live CD?
[09:09] <crptx> fun
[09:09] <Vlet> darwich: Just fyi, running 3d games on linux via wine is a lil flaky :)
[09:09] <neverblue2> anna, use the Live CD
[09:09] <Knag> yes, the alternate cd, isn't it?
[09:09] <Pici> heydabop: No. You need to download the alternate CD seperately
[09:09] <stefg> anna: there's the smartmontools or the 'badblocks' command
[09:09] <Denon_> heydabop use the alterative cd
[09:09] <heydabop> Ok.
[09:09] <Knag> install directly from the Live CD? i don't think it's possible
[09:09] <zendo> pete83: I stated clone as a alternative :)
[09:09] <heydabop> It is.
[09:09] <anna> neverblue2 yes, i started up that allready...
[09:09] <heydabop> Possible.
[09:09] <FuM> Pici, would you happen to know the command to install it via terminal? I can't acess my desktop.
[09:09] <Knag> yes?
[09:09] <anna> stefg: how can I do that from the live cd?
[09:09] <heydabop> Knag, you haveto startup Linux first.
[09:09] <Knag> in that case i don't know how
[09:09] <neverblue2> anna, you can use the LiveCD to get the OS into RAM, then use smartmontools or the 'badblocks' command
[09:09] <Pici> FuM: I dont off the top of my head.
[09:09] <pete83> zendo, ok, vim is a good replacement
[09:10] <neverblue2> as stefg said :)
[09:10] <Knag> but isn't simpler to use the alternate cd'
[09:10] <Pici> FuM: Try asking in #ubuntu-effects
[09:10] <darwich> Vlet: Wait a sec :)
[09:10] <anna> ok, thanks, I'll try
[09:10] <pete83> zendo, personally, I prefer gedit
[09:10] <zendo> pete83: because I don't need "sub operating system" :) and I like Emacs key bindings :)
[09:10] <darwich> Vlet: Okey .. its copying now .. takes about 8 min..
[09:11] <zendo> pete83: it would be good if there was such graphical editor with (part of) functionality of Emacs
[09:11] <Pici> zendo: xemacs perhaps
[09:12] <ciano> hola
[09:12] <Pici> !es | ciano
[09:12] <ubotu> ciano: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[09:12] <anna> zendo, if you find any emacs-snapshot, you may have gnome support
[09:12] <zendo> Pici: It's not that I'm too picky, but xemacs is the same... almost :)
[09:12] <madhatter349> hey
[09:12] <pircjo1> I'm getting a "Bad file descriptor" message when I try to cp a 300 meg file to a cifs mounted share, it does not happen every time...any ideas
[09:12] <Pici> zendo: True ;)
[09:12] <darwich> Vlet: Okey .. the World of warcraft folder is now in my programs folder .. what now ?
[09:12] <anna> zendo: i packed one for edgy on trashroom.net
[09:12] <jamesdell> Hello, What package comes in for 'dldrconfig' command?
[09:13] <zendo> No I don't want something that big, I simply want programmers editor not OS, with Emacs key bindings :)
[09:13] <jamesdell> anyone?
[09:13] <S01aris> Hello
[09:13] <Vlet> darwich: You're gonna want to (using the terminal) go into the wow directory and run: wine WoW.exe
[09:13] <stefg> pircjo1: flaky wifi connection?
[09:13] <Pici> jamesdell: I dont see dldrconfig in any packages
[09:13] <darwich> vlet wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\WoW.exe": Module not found
[09:14] <S01aris> hello, sorry that i send this twice
[09:14] <Vlet> darwich: BUT, whether it works or not, you'll want to read this too: http://www.wowwiki.com/Linux/Wine
[09:14] <pircjo1> How can I tell?
[09:14] <S01aris> who is from russia
[09:14] <Vlet> darwich: I'm guessing you're not in that directory
[09:14] <jamesdell> Pici: I got response like this "sudo: dldrconfig: command not found"
[09:14] <Pici> !ru | S01aris

[09:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ru s01aris - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:14] <S01aris> tnx
[09:14] <stefg> !ru | S01aris
[09:14] <Pici> jamesdell: I dont think its a command.
[09:14] <Vlet> you need to cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\World\ of\ Warcraft
[09:15] <jamesdell> Pici: oh
[09:15] <neverblue2> Vlet, thats an incorrect command :)
[09:15] <Thursley> zendo, there's a online emacs clone :P http://robrohan.com/projects/9ne/
 try cedega
[09:15] <Vlet> neverblue2: bah - well I suck, okay ;)
[09:16] <Pici> S01aris: Hmm?
[09:16] <Gambrinus> jamesdell: might be part of "driverloader" at http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/
 ,
[09:16] <edefer63> is there any channel here?
[09:16] <pircjo1> When I get the Bad file descriptor message part of the file was transmitted and its always the same amount (about 3000 bytes short)
[09:16] <zendo> Thursley: hahah :)) great my search is over :)
 transgaming.com
[09:16] <madhatter349> how do i enable the audio line in input so i can hear audio from my tv card im using xubuntu
[09:16] <jamesdell> Gambrinus: I see
[09:17] <Pici> S01aris: What are you talking about?
[09:17] <FuM> Does anyone know the command to get the nvidia xgl drivers to install via terminal?
[09:17] <S01aris> about WoW under linux
[09:18] <anna> is 'sudo backblocks /dev/hda' enaugh, or would you do more?
[09:18] <S01aris> sudo apt-get nvidia-glx
[09:18] <Pici> S01aris: Er. Okay? I'm not asking about it.
[09:18] <neverblue2> hmm
[09:18] <FuM> Ty

[09:18] <nerdboy1024> anyone know how to fix this
 sorry :)
[09:18] <neverblue2> that might be it anna, but im no expert
[09:18] <neverblue2> anna try #linux
[09:18] <mylogic> Does anyone know if it's ok to just dispose a PSU in the garbage, or is their a certain way you must get rid of it?
[09:18] <FuM> s01aris, Invalid
[09:18] <Thursley> FuM, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[09:18] <S01aris> (
[09:19] <neverblue2> mylogic, I am sure you could take it to your nearest computer 'parts' disposal company
[09:19] <pete83> zendo, still looking for a text editor?
[09:19] <neverblue2> to be friendly :)
[09:19] <anna> neverblue2: ok, ill check only with that command, if there are no errors I'll install otherwise i will by a new harddisk fifrst...
[09:19] <darwich> Vlet: Well now i started WoW trough Wine WoW.exe .. but nothing happens ?
[09:19] <neverblue2> anna, what leads you to beleive there are errors?
[09:19] <neverblue2> darwich, try #winehq
[09:19] <Vlet> nerdboy1024: darwich: nothing?
[09:19] <Vlet> nerdboy1024: oops.
[09:20] <nerdboy1024> :)
[09:20] <neverblue2> Vlet :)
[09:20] <slabby> Is this partitioning correct? #1 10gig ext3 mount /     #2 10gig ext3 mount /home     #3 18gig fat32 mount /fat      #4 2gig swap
[09:20] <slabby> is that ok?
[09:20] <Thursley> I thought I read something about crossover office having wow support, and a 30 day trial
[09:20] <neverblue2> slabby, how much RAM?
[09:20] <FuM> Thursley, Thank you.
[09:20] <nerdboy1024> thinking about me huh?
[09:20] <slabby> 512mb I think
[09:20] <S01aris> i playing wow with cedega :)
[09:20] <Vlet> wine worked for me, but was flaky
[09:20] <neverblue2> slabby, is the win partition already there?
[09:21] <slabby> no
[09:21] <stefg> anna: badblocks takes ages to complete. rather sudo apt-get install smartmontools and read the s.m.a.r.t -messages of your disk. see man smartmantools or google for instructions
[09:21] <pete83> nerdboy1024: are you in the right group for that device?
[09:21] <neverblue2> how good is it S01aris ?
[09:21] <[Rui] > hello, I'm trying to install ubuntu 7.04 on a Dell 531
[09:21] <Thursley> FuM, your welcome
[09:21] <neverblue2> speed, graphics, etc
[09:21] <nerdboy1024> cups is empty
[09:21] <[Rui] > but it freezes on boot
[09:21] <neverblue2> slabby, then I would put more into /
[09:21] <bieb> anyone here running a Thinkpad T30?
[09:21] <S01aris> very well
[09:21] <pete83> nerdboy1024: what if you do the command as sudo
[09:21] <[Rui] > "Loading, please wait..."
[09:21] <slabby> neverblue2, why?
[09:21] <neverblue2> slabby, but that matters what your doing with it
[09:22] <neverblue2> slabby, also, I would decrease the swap to 1GB
[09:22] <nerdboy1024> same thing
[09:22] <slabby> neverblue2, running it as a mini server
[09:22] <projex> bieb: x40 :)
[09:22] <nerdboy1024> first thing i tried
[09:22] <neverblue2> slabby, then you have lots
[09:22] <slabby> neverblue2, hosting some small php irc scripts (bots)
[09:22] <[Rui] > if I press alt+ctrl+del, it interrupts rcS
[09:22] <slabby> neverblue2, mayby a voice server
[09:22] <[Rui] > then tries to boot but doesn't boot properly
[09:22] <slabby> neverblue2, :D if I ever get it running :D
[09:23] <neverblue2> slabby, i think you would want some more RAM in that box :)
[09:23] <slabby> neverblue2, yer eventually
[09:23] <Shadow_mil> does plain ubuntu come with some type of app like krdc?
[09:23] <neverblue2> but do 1GB RAM
[09:23] <neverblue2> and use the other for /home
[09:23] <neverblue2> i mean SWAP
[09:23] <neverblue2> sorry
[09:23] <bieb> projex.. I have Ubuntu 6.06 installed on my T30, I do run the updates regularly, I get a lock up at random intervals, have to reboot. What should I look for?
[09:24] <neverblue2> i bet that the 10GB fills up fast though :)
[09:24] <slabby> neverblue2, ok 1 gig swap
[09:24] <Vlet> Shadow_mil: yes, it's in Applications>>Internet>>Terminal Server Client
[09:24] <slabby> neverblue2, and put extra on fat32 or / ?
[09:24] <nerdboy1024> jewelry@jewelry-desktop:~/tinapos$ echo "test" > /dev/lp0 bash: /dev/lp0: Permission denied
[09:25] <slabby> how can I check how much ram I have while in ubuntu?
[09:25] <neverblue2> not in the FAT drive, you will never use it :P
[09:25] <Shadow_mil> Vlet, ty
[09:25] <nerdboy1024> anyone know how to fix that
[09:25] <neverblue2> take the 1GB and put it into /
[09:25] <[Rui] > hms... dmesg says unable to read blocks with squashfs
[09:25] <stefg> slabby: free -m
[09:25] <slabby> neverblue2, i might, as it will be accessible to my network
[09:25] <neverblue2> more from /home even

[09:26] <[Rui] > I only remembered to dmesg right now
[09:26] <nerdboy1024> hmmmm
[09:26] <nerdboy1024> pete, works
[09:26] <Wips> How do I share a folder on the network? with SMB. And how do I edit the username+passord for people to be able to open my shared folders on the network?
[09:26] <slabby> stefg, is that total ram?
[09:27] <stefg> slabby: except the ram for the kernel itself
[09:27] <[Rui] > well, I'll try gutsy tribe3
[09:27] <nerdboy1024> but how do i get it to print using the command i need
[09:27] <slabby> stefg, i want to know how much ram i have installed, how much is plugged into my mobo
[09:28] <pete83> nerdboy1024: what do you mean?
[09:28] <projex> bieb: I couldn't tell you, although updating to 7.04, solved a few of my "linux in general" problems. Detecting drivers/hardware.
[09:28] <nerdboy1024> echo "test" > /dev/lp0
[09:28] <bieb> slabby have you typed "free" on the command line?
[09:28] <nerdboy1024> i need that to work
[09:28] <slabby> bieb, yes
[09:28] <stefg> slabby: cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal
[09:28] <Vlet> S01aris: Is Cedega a subscription based thing?
[09:29] <bieb> Ok projex.. I will try that later
[09:29] <pete83> nerdboy1024: why can't you use my command?
[09:29] <pircjo1> stefg, When I get the Bad file descriptor message the file is partially written to the shared drive and it is always the same size
[09:30] <robert_> yay
[09:30] <robert_> I screwed up my networking
[09:30] <robert_> I dont like dhcp
[09:30] <robert_> I want to give myself a static ip
[09:30] <nerdboy1024> i need it for a program, TINAPOS, i just do not want 'test' printed on paper, this program used that gateway to print receipts
[09:31] <pircjo1> I am getting "Bad file Descriptor" when I cp to a cifs mounted drive not every time though
[09:31] <pete83> nerdboy1024: if you need to print a text file, then how about:     cat textfile.txt | lpr
[09:31] <Wips> How do I share a folder on the network? with SMB. And how do I edit the username+passord for people to be able to open my shared folders on the network?
[09:32] <pete83> nerdboy1024: actually, I think you can just do:   lpr filename.txt
[09:32] <TTT_Travis> what happens if I take a drive out of my LVM? do all of the files stored on that drive just disappear?
[09:32] <nerdboy1024> ok, let me rephrase the question, how do i change the permissions on /dev/lp0
[09:32] <Vlet> Wips: System >> Administration >> Shared Folders
[09:33] <Denon_> hi. can anyone help me set up my printer in linux, its a network printer which is on the network and i have the cd
[09:33] <Denon_> never done a printer in linux
[09:33] <nerdboy1024> :)
[09:33] <Wips> thx Vlet. And the username and password? you know how to edit those?
[09:33] <stefg> !cups | Denon_
[09:33] <ubotu> Denon_: Printing in Ubuntu is done with CUPS. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[09:33] <pete83> nerdboy1024: in ubuntu, I don't even have such a file
[09:34] <nerdboy1024> pete, do u have a paralelle printer?
[09:34] <pete83> nerdboy1024: ah, ok
[09:34] <slabby> neverblue2, there we go got 768 ram now
[09:34] <nerdboy1024> pete, then STFU
[09:34] <neverblue2> slabby, that was fast :)
[09:34] <pete83> nerdboy1024: wow, that was rude
[09:34] <slabby> neverblue2, only had 256 before
[09:34] <slabby> neverblue2, just ran upstairs and found some more :P
[09:35] <nerdboy1024> thank you
[09:35] <nerdboy1024> :)
[09:35] <slabby> neverblue2, i think my CD drive is a little slow aswell
[09:35] <neverblue2> slabby, then your all set up and ready to go, now where is my shell :)
[09:35] <Vlet> Wips: I think it just uses unix permissions
[09:35] <slabby> neverblue2, might go get my dvd writer
[09:35] <slabby> neverblue2, :D
[09:35] <neverblue2> cheap, $40ish
[09:35] <Jack_Sparrow> nerdboy1024: How hard was it to compile for Ubuntu
[09:35] <FuM> !flash
[09:35] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[09:35] <Wips> Vlet: hm... but how do I change it anyway?
[09:36] <Vlet> Wips: so whatever the permissions for that folder and it's contents are will be the shared permissions... I think. Try it
[09:36] <FuM> !flash 64bit x86
[09:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about flash 64bit x86 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:36] <Vlet> Wips: right click on the folder and go to the permissions tab
[09:36] <FuM> Anyone know where I can find the flash for amd 64bit x86
[09:36] <tck> anyone use VirtualBox ?
[09:36] <stefg> !flash64 > FuM
[09:36] <Wips> Vlet: yeh, probably is.. but I'm thinking about when someone try to access my computer on the network.. they have to enter username/password
[09:36] <jrib> FuM: read the link ubotu pasted
[09:36] <FuM> Thats not flash 64bit
[09:36] <FuM> Thats 32bit
[09:36] <jrib> FuM: it links to it
[09:37] <projex> Say we open some ports on terdboy..
[09:37] <FuM> Oh
[09:37] <FuM> Thx
[09:37] <fluffles> why can't i create bigger partitions than 39GB when installing?
[09:37] <jrib> FuM: nspluginwrapper is the best way imo
[09:37] <neverblue2> fluffles, look more closely
[09:37] <FuM> Thats what I'm loooking for
[09:37] <diseaser> Is anyone able to play WWII Online in ubuntu?
[09:37] <Stormx2> fluffles: You... can?
[09:37] <Vlet> Wips: Well, it will ask them for a username and password, so if you want someone to be able to connect using the username and password bob/somepass you need to create a user account for bob
[09:38] <fluffles> Stormx2: hm no, whatever i set (1.7GB) it will always create a 39004MB partition
[09:38] <Vlet> didn't WWII end like 50 years ago?
[09:38] <fluffles> using the graphical partition manager when installing, using 7.04 cd
[09:38] <diseaser> its still going
[09:38] <Vlet> oh nos!
[09:38] <S01aris> gparted :)
[09:38] <fluffles> i tried XFS, ext3, logical/primary... not anything will create something over 39004MB
[09:38] <Tonar> If i start a window manager in a window manager why does the new window manager doesnt get encapsulated in a window?
[09:39] <Thursley> gah I'm so sick of flash. Freezes firefox, takes over /dev/snd, why do so many sites use it : /
[09:39] <ZmaX> Stacco. Ciao a tutti.
[09:39] <stefg> fluffles: bios limitation?
[09:39] <DShepherd> Thursley, :-( same here
[09:39] <Jack_Sparrow> fluffles: do you have a 40 gig drive in there?
[09:40] <fluffles> stefg: FreeBSD has no problems partitioning my 1.75TB volume
[09:40] <Bakefy> does anyone know of a program out there that will find out the key to a 64 bit WEB wireless connection?
[09:40] <fluffles> Jack_Sparrow: no i have a RAID controller with 8 disks in RAID5, totalling 1.75GB. its seen as /dev/sda1
[09:40] <Thursley> Bakefy, aircrack-ng
[09:40] <Ale_udin> hello to all
[09:40] <fluffles> argh not 1.75GB but 1.75TB :)
[09:41] <Wips> fluffles: You made me wonder there..
[09:41] <Jack_Sparrow> fluffles: thats better
[09:41] <stefg> fluffles: Freebsd uses UFS.. have you tried running the server kernel?
[09:41] <fluffles> stefg: that should not matter i think, and i am going to use it as desktop OS primarily
[09:42] <fluffles> but this is an unknown issue? it should be able to create larger partitions?
[09:42] <joakim_> how do I make my "Swedish" laptop play region 1 (usa) DVDs? Vlc cant play it
[09:42] <stefg> fluffles: i see: 8 GB for the system and 1.7 TB for /home
[09:42] <fluffles> stefg: well actually most of the storage will be used for SMB/CIFS
[09:43] <stefg> fluffles: server-kernel!
[09:43] <fluffles> but thats hardly enough to take a server dist imo :)
[09:43] <fluffles> stefg: why
[09:43] <burner> don't swedes just pirate? That's what my american media tells me :)
[09:43] <fluffles> burner: no they have different laws
[09:43] <fluffles> burner: USA laws are fit to the needs of the industry, and not consumers. in sweden its the other way around
[09:44] <joakim_> hehe, no I have a legal (but american) copy of the movie "criminal" and vlc cant play it
[09:44] <meyou> Can anyone tell me how to fix my MBR or whatever so that grub will load without having the Ubuntu CD in?
[09:44] <burner> joakim_: you have libdvdcss?  and can play other dvds?
[09:44] <meyou> If I try to boot without the cd in I get "Error Loading Operating System"
[09:44] <meyou> If I try with the Ubuntu disc in and choose "Boot from first Hard Disk" GRUB loads fine.
[09:44] <burner> meyou: ifyou boot the cd and then say "boot off first hard disk" does it work?
[09:44] <burner> :)
[09:44] <joakim_> I dont know about libdvdcss but I can play other "swedish" dvds
[09:44] <TTT_Travis> meyou i'd try installing the boot loader somehow, I don't know how you install just the boot loader with out an alternative cd
[09:44] <Bakefy> thanks Thursley

[09:48] <meyou> burner: I'd asked on ubuntuforums and someone suggested I make sure the bootflag was on right
[09:48] <meyou> well the bootflag is on sda2 which is the ext3 partition ubuntu is on (/)
[09:48] <meyou> sda1 is the NTFS partition winxp is on
[09:48] <burner> meyou: you have a seperate /boot?
[09:48] <meyou> nope
[09:48] <Thursley> Bakefy, fyi aircrack-ng is also in the repository, so to install it you can do it via Synaptic or apt-get install aircrack-ng . No need to get it from source (i saw this too late myself ;)
[09:48] <meyou> just / and swap
[09:48] <meyou> during the install i told grub to install to the MBR
[09:49] <meyou> it's a very standard ubuntu install from the livecd
[09:49] <burner> meyou: you could try reinstalling grub

[09:51] <burner> wza: via cd?  did you run the cd check?  maybe it's a bad burn
[09:51] <mattgyver83> Anyone have any experience with .ipk files?
[09:51] <burner> jussi: just redownlod it :)
[09:51] <neverblue2> slabby, you know php?

[09:51] <wza> jussi_ just redownload the torrent and start it again in linux by precisly indicating the place of the old download

[09:53] <wza> burner seems to bea display thing
[09:53] <burner> wza: just install the alternate cd?  what video card?
[09:53] <burner> meyou: once you get it to load, man grub-install
[09:53] <jetscreamer> grub-install hd0 for instance
[09:54] <jussi_> one question btw.. whats the linux version of windows program files? need to locate azureus from there so that i can start the download with it once ive used firefox to download the torrent
[09:54] <joakim_> gxine says "No demuxer found - stream format not recognised." how do I install the demuxer?
[09:54] <jetscreamer> azureus is probably in /usr/bin

[09:56] <pircjo1> Hi, what is the best way to attach a windows network drive to an UBUNTU server?
[09:57] <Thursley> sinkorswim, I think the program within the window is responsible for positioning, however there are other apps that will allow you to do this (and more) http://www.burtonini.com/blog/computers/devilspie is one of them
[09:57] <wza> burner supposed to.. but the previous version work perfectly

[10:01] <slabby> neverblue2, installed and updating now
[10:01] <SpeakerMania> Thursley, the drive "usbdisk" is empty and all the others aren't the camera
[10:02] <baghyay> thanx
[10:02] <Thursley> SpeakerMania, I guess that's it then, there might also be an icon to it on your desktop
[10:02] <lusepuster_> howdy, sorry for bothering you twice, but I left my lappy on w/o the power chord, so any replies to my question earlier are lost...
[10:02] <SpeakerMania> Thursley, there is no such icon.

[10:03] <wacky_> where's php5-pdo-sqlite3 ?!

[10:06] <ieee802> someone can help me with ipw2200 i got a firmware error and i know the module is compiled inside the kernel can i install a new version of ipw2200 with new firmware without having to recompile the kernel? (i'm new to linux)
[10:07] <ShackJack> Anlar: I don't start the "desktop Effects" via ubuntu, but rather compiz --replace in startup session programs. My impression is that it didn't start if 3d support was not enabled...
[10:07] <RickinFl> thanks
[10:07] <burner> jussi_: got me, if it's forwarded correctly, it should be fine.  Try playing with upnp?  or use deluge :)
[10:07] <YANP> How do I uninstall Frostwire?
[10:08] <jussi_> burner: ok :D .. ill try to get deluge
[10:08] <Jack_Sparrow> RickinFl: Stick with nvidia for video.. broadcom bcm43xx chipset for wireless are good choices
[10:08] <Anlar> ShackJack: it's usually some device driver that blocks the suspend process.. some of the devices.. often it is the display adapter, but I don't know how todig further
[10:08] <Vlet> YANP: Same way you installed it, except uncheck it
[10:08] <RickinFl> thanks for the wiki link this will be of great help...I am thinking of building computers with offering Ubuntu for people who want to escape the windows os
[10:08] <ShackJack> Anlar: I can't beleive it didn't work out of the box - lame...

[10:13] <Dave132> help, when I go to shut down ubuntu, there's no shut down button, how do i fix this?

[10:14] <BlkGhost> drunken no,.. ubuntu first
[10:14] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> ic
[10:14] <aztracker1> Dave132, to clarify, you click the shutdown panel icon, then in the list (restart, suspend, hibernate...) you have no shutdown?
[10:14] <Dave132> ishock, the menu bar
[10:14] <jrib> Dave132: what does 'groups' return?
[10:14] <Vlet> DRuNKeN-MAsTEr: Well, depends. VMWare is a program that hosts operating systems, so do you want to run ubuntu IN vmware, or do you want to use vmware on ubuntu to run windows (or something)?
[10:14] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> so an OS has to be running first
[10:14] <slowz3r> Jack_Sparrow: ill try that
[10:14] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> yes Vlet
[10:15] <Jack_Sparrow> slowz3r: Sorry I cnt help more

[10:15] <aztracker1> Dave132, as jrib asked, if you run groups in a terminal, what groups are you in?
[10:16] <Dave132> justa sec
[10:16] <Thursley> outlaw686, does "ifconfig -a" show your device? wifi0 or ath0 etc
[10:16] <CarlFK> dapper, browser closes when I try to play flash.  I saw an 'easy fix' but cant find it.  any suggestions ?
[10:16] <Vlet> DRuNKeN-MAsTEr: yes, either windows or ubuntu (or whatever) needs to be installed on the computer. Then you can install vmware and run something else
[10:16] <aztracker1> DRuNKeN-MAsTEr, you install vmware on your host OS (presuming ubuntu)... after that, you create a virtual machine to run your guest OS...
[10:16] <BlkGhost> yeah
[10:16] <Vlet> DRuNKeN-MAsTEr: vmware is like adding a second floor to a building. you need to have a first floor first though
[10:16] <BlkGhost> nods..
[10:16] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> ic
[10:16] <Dave132> how do you run groups?
[10:16] <hyperion_> Shackjack: It was installable in the synaptic manager just like xubuntu, thought i was able to choose xubuntu when logging in, which i cant with edubuntu... Anyway its properly installed
[10:16] <Jack_Sparrow> outlaw686: Dont base anything on just the light... SOme poeple report it works but just not getting the light
[10:17] <jrib> Dave132: accessories -> Terminal   then type 'groups' and press enter
[10:17] <aztracker1> Dave132, open Applications->Accessories->Terminal
[10:17] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> then to switch between OS's i would need to install ubuntu in vmware again next to any other OS that i choose correct?
[10:17] <Vlet> pircjo1: not sure, but I think I've had similar problems when doing such things... think it's slight incompatibilities between versions of the SMB protocol
[10:17] <outlaw686> ifconfig -a doesnt show me my wireless card
[10:17] <ShackJack> hyperion_: Xubuntu uses a different window manager - Edubuntu does not, so it's likely just a regular GNOME session with extra stuff under Education menu...
[10:17] <outlaw686> i did get it to show up in iwconfig tho
[10:17] <Dave132> dave adm dialout fax cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin
[10:18] <Thursley> outlaw686, try "ifconfig deviceName up" where device name is the name you saw in iwconfig
[10:18] <Vlet> DRuNKeN-MAsTEr: Well, what is it you want to do? do you want to be able to switch back and forth between windows and ubuntu? like, sometimes boot up into windows, other times to ubuntu?
[10:18] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> yes
[10:18] <nerdboy1024> i can not get ubunu to install to my 8mb casio palm organizer, can someone help me?
[10:18] <hyperion_> Ah I see, but how do i fire it up to show the typical icons, background etc. that you see in @ the edubuntu screenshots? :d
[10:19] <TheCreationist> Is there a way to make Nautilus load image/video thumbnails for an entire directory?  I'm tired of having to select each individual file just to get a preview.
[10:19] <jrib> Dave132: I believe you need to be in "powerdev", use this command: sudo adduser dave powerdev
[10:19] <Dave132> jrib,ok
[10:19] <jrib> TheCreationist: it's supposed to, not sure why it wouldn't
[10:19] <projex> nerdboy1024: you not one for asking help, If I we're you I'd disconnect, change your identity and come back.
[10:19] <Vlet> DRuNKeN-MAsTEr: Then it might not be vmware that you need. vmware would allow you to run both at the same time, but it might not be what you desire... sounds like you just want a "dual boot" - when you start your PC, you can choose windows or ubuntu
[10:20] <ShackJack> hyperion_: I don't think you can - that is dependant on extra setup stuff included on Edubuntu disk... no packages per se... You have to manually select (though I think it;s just differnet background)
[10:20] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> so i would have this type of installation >> Ubuntu>vmware>ubuntu/windows << correct?
[10:20] <TheCreationist> jrib: Well, the way it is now, all I get when opening a folder is a bunch of file icons (or thumbnails of files I had previously selected at some point).
[10:20] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> sorry Vlet i want to run both at the sametime
[10:20] <nerdboy1024> projex, lol, why?
[10:20] <jrib> TheCreationist: I don't really know.  I would see if it happens with a new user.  That way you can see if it's a configuration info or not
[10:20] <Dave132> jrib, now what?
[10:20] <BlkGhost> Drunken then UBUNTU -> Vmware -- WINDOWS
[10:21] <jrib> Dave132: logout and log back in
[10:21] <Vlet> DRuNKeN-MAsTEr: ahh, then it's really up to you which one becomes the first floor and which is the second, as vmware runs on linux and windows. Just install one, vmware, then the other
[10:21] <Dave132> jrib, thanks
[10:21] <tidus> ?
[10:21] <amonkey> is there an equivlent of beryl-manager for compizfusion?
[10:21] <tidus> how i can go to spanish server?
[10:21] <tck-afk> amonkey, gnome-compiz-manager
[10:21] <nerdboy1024> /whowas projex
[10:21] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> BlkGhost so no need to install Ubuntu a second time correct? Vmware will use the os currently installed? then i can just install XP?
[10:21] <ShackJack> amonkey: There fusion icon or something on the trevino website...
[10:22] <lusepuster_> amonkey: Yes, fusion-icon, but ask in the compiz-fusion channel... They're very helpoful!
[10:22] <BlkGhost> I found that if I Run Linux & Linux Vmware with a Windows install after it runs the fastest but also takes longer to setup
[10:22] <lmosher> when I change something in xorg (mouse button config) do I need to restart gmd or just logout/login?
[10:22] <amonkey> tck-afk, ShackJack lusepuster_ thanks!
[10:22] <szkud> I've got a tar.gz of the drivers for my wireless card, but i'm not sure where to put it. it's hard to search for something liek that. can someone point me in the right direction?
[10:22] <nerdboy1024> i've installed ubunu on my microwave oven, but when i start the cook prosess, the table does not turn, can someone help me?
[10:23] <ShackJack> tck-afk: amonkey -- actually you want compizconfig-settings-manager -- I thought you were talkinga bout the icvon thing...
[10:23] <BlkGhost> yeah it has everything thats need when you install it
[10:23] <lusepuster_> again, try the compiz-fusion channel...
[10:23] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> so does Windows > Vmware>Ubuntu take too long to boot up?
[10:24] <BlkGhost> no but linux is faster
[10:24] <ShackJack> lmosher: Either is fine...
[10:24] <szkud> nerdboy1024: you no hungry for microwave ubuntu. you hungry for microwave hotpocket
[10:24] <Kohvihoor> is there any way to get old fglrx drivers to work with feisty, the ones that support radeon 9200 ?
[10:24] <hyperion_> ShackJack: but If i can't use it seperately, then I don't see the reason to download it...  it even shows up the edubuntu splash now when logging in, even though its loading normal ubuntu xD
[10:24] <nerdboy1024> szkud: :)
[10:24] <Dave132> didnt chang a thing, still no shut down button
[10:25] <Thursley> szkud, what kind of food is a hotpocket? or what is it like?
[10:25] <ShackJack> hyperion_: Yeah, it's more meant to be a standalone distro ;)  -- but you have all the prgrams, etc... that are included with it..
[10:25] <crackintosh> how do i turn on ssh in feisty
[10:25] <hyperion_> ShackJack: Ok then, thx for help
[10:25] <bruenig> !info openssh-server
[10:25] <ubotu> openssh-server: Secure shell server, an rshd replacement. In component main, is optional. Version 1:4.3p2-8ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 230 kB, installed size 596 kB

[10:25] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[10:25] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> i am not too familiar with the command line when it comes to installing linux but now i am at the point i want to switch from windows. do i need to compile ubuntu to have it install? or is it automated somewhat like Windows?
[10:25] <tck-afk> anyone use windows SMS
[10:25] <szkud> Thursley: it's like a sandwich/wrap. should show up if you google it
[10:26] <BlkGhost> General Thought... I just finished 92 updates for Ubuntu and 130 for WIndows .. huh .. go figure,..
[10:26] <ShackJack> DRuNKeN-MAsTEr: Automated.. boot from CD and you're good to go...
[10:26] <igor_wo_Umbuntu> !ssh++
[10:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ssh++ - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:26] <bruenig> DRuNKeN-MAsTEr, get the iso, burn it to cd, restart computer, double click install and fill in boxes with information
[10:26] <Dave132> jrib, still no shut down
[10:26] <Vlet> DRuNKeN-MAsTEr: It's easier than windows :)
[10:26] <Thursley> szkud, just wondering cause I keep hearing about them on this sitcom :P
[10:26] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> ty you Vlet,BlkGhost,ShackJack for all the help
[10:26] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> and bruenig
[10:27] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> yiou guys been very helpful
[10:27] <Vlet> welcome :)
[10:27] <BlkGhost> np
[10:27] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> I am at that point now where windows will be a thing of the past but still need it at home for some family members
[10:27] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> so i think vmware will be a good way to go
[10:28] <Pete_North>
[10:28] <ShackJack> DRuNKeN-MAsTEr: dual boot - FTW!
[10:28] <Dave132> help, getting black screen on logout, any ideas?
[10:28] <BlkGhost> passes Drunken all his Hair he pulled out getting everythign working... Now I'm bald.. ... Here you will need this
[10:28] <Vlet> DRuNKeN-MAsTEr: There'll be a bit of a learning-curve/untraining yourself from thinking like m$, but then you'll love it
[10:29] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> ShackJack dont wanna go dual boot
[10:29] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> is it advisable to run desktop and server next to each other on vmware?
[10:29] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> i would like to learn both as far as features
[10:29] <szkud> Dave132: you took loggin out to the next level. shutting down
[10:29] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> or will it be unstable
[10:29] <BlkGhost> Why not...
[10:29] <BlkGhost> thats the sweet part about vmware
[10:30] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> nice
[10:30] <Dave132> szkud, well that was another probblem i hadalos
[10:30] <Dave132> also
[10:30] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> all i need to do is maybe get me another stick of memory to speed things a little faster
[10:30] <BlkGhost> it diesn't know there is multi machines there .. each one is in its own little packadge..
[10:30] <outlaw6860> tried sudo ifconfig eth1 and it killed my connection lol
[10:30] <aztracker1> DRuNKeN-MAsTEr, think of vmware as a program that runs in the host (Ubuntu), inside of vmware runs a virtual computer (with windows, or whatever)... one runs inside the other.
[10:30] <szkud> Dave132: have you tried a repair or reinstall?
[10:31] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> vmware wesbite recommends 2GB of RAM while i have only 1GB.
[10:31] <Dave132> no, how do i do a repair?
[10:31] <aztracker1> DRuNKeN-MAsTEr, with vmware you dedicate a certain amount of memory to the guest... you could give 512 to the guest windows, then will have 512 for the host..
[10:31] <szkud> Dave132: it'll be an option on the boot disk if i'm not mistaken.
[10:31] <aztracker1> DRuNKeN-MAsTEr, I'd recommend 2gb, so you can give windows at least 768mb.. (if xp)
[10:31] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> yes
[10:32] <Dave132> szkud, ok il try that thanks
[10:32] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> aztracker1 i will need to get me another stick eventaully
[10:32] <szkud> definitely read into what all is going to be 'repaired'  though and back up your shite
[10:32] <jrib> Dave132: does 'groups' say you are in powerdev now?
[10:32] <chyme> Has anyone noticed any bad issues running mIRC under WINE?
[10:32] <clever> chyme: i have lots
[10:32] <bruenig> use xchat
[10:32] <clever> chyme: scripteditor is messed up and allmost unuseable
[10:32] <clever> chyme: crashes randomly
[10:32] <clever> minor bugs
[10:32] <outlaw6860> if an adaptor isnt working properly will it still show up in iwconfig and not ifconfig -a?
[10:32] <chyme> mIRC/WINE keeps dying on me, on certain double click events.
[10:33] <clever> disluke xchat
[10:33] <aztracker1> DRuNKeN-MAsTEr, try it giving 512mb to the guest, shouldn't run too bad.. also, no heavy gaming on windows under vmware..
[10:33] <szkud> clever: irssi?
[10:33] <chyme> That a bad bug :P
[10:33] <lmosher> Something has changed after an update (not sure :/), but my mouse buttons are not responding. Before the left-right lean on the mousewheel would trigger 'XF86Forward' and 'XF86Back' in xev. Now I get the left lean as Button 6 but the right lean as nothing. Any idea? I really would like to get my right lean back.
[10:33] <clever> i perfer irssi for linux
[10:33] <clever> and mainly use mirc on winblows
[10:33] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> i am not into gamig belive it or not
[10:33] <clever> atm im on a xp laptop ssh'ed into my linux at home controling irssi thru screen
[10:33] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> more into just getting my movies and proggies that i need
[10:33] <chyme> I gave up on irssi
[10:34] <chyme> back when they rooted me..
[10:34] <BlkGhost> Guess there is no Mirc clone for linux
[10:34] <BlkGhost> ?
[10:34] <chyme> blah
[10:34] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> but just want xp to work fine so my wife doesn't see the difference
[10:34] <Vlet> chyme: except for one little issue, I'm enjoying it
[10:34] <chyme> No BlkGhost
[10:34] <outlaw6860> lol im using mirc now on my desktop while i try to get my laptotp to work
[10:34] <chyme> You can run under wine, but I cant keep it from dying for some reason.
[10:34] <clever> mine also crashes randomly(even when im not even touching it)
[10:34] <ShackJack> BlkGhost: Pidgin works fine for IRC chat
[10:34] <aztracker1> DRuNKeN-MAsTEr, me either really... waiting on 7.10 so I can have sound on my laptop...
[10:34] <clever> i dont have a linux local atm so cant mess with it much
[10:35] <aztracker1> given up on trying to compile alsa from source.
[10:35] <wonka071> hello all
[10:35] <ShackJack> aztracker1: Might have to wait longer that that :)
[10:35] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> 7.10 Ubuntu?
[10:35] <chyme> I'd pay khaleds crazy 20 dollars, for a *nix version of mirc.
[10:35] <clever> im compiling my entire os from source(glibc is having errors atm)
[10:35] <ShackJack> !hi | wonka071
[10:36] <ubotu> wonka071: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[10:36] <compengi> BlkGhost, xchat is an irc client check xchat.org, pidgin could work also, but xchat is way better
[10:36] <BlkGhost> yeah Xchat is what i'm on now
[10:36] <BlkGhost> its alright
[10:36] <clever> i find gaim's irc support is very poor(pidgin probly is the same)
[10:36] <ublender> Hey, does anyone know a good lame command line?
[10:36] <BlkGhost> Would like to see a user list on the side
[10:36] <compengi> BlkGhost, then why do you want mirc?
[10:36] <BlkGhost> though
[10:36] <ublender> For vbr + decent brate
[10:36] <lmosher> echo 'Im stupid'
[10:36] <wonka071> ? I installed Ubuntu genealogy dist with the newest u7.04 all i did was a install & update & it took up 8Gb on hard drive?
[10:36] <slabby> how do I find out what my ip adress is? (internal ip adress)
[10:36] <ben___> how do I extract tar.gz files from the terminal? (sorry)
[10:36] <wonka071> is this correct ?
[10:36] <BlkGhost> I don't I like the layout of it
[10:37] <lmosher> ben___, In one shot it's 'tar xvfz filename.tar.gz'
[10:37] <aztracker1> ShackJack, Well, the 7.10 alphas work for my audio device, but when I update past the cd install, gnome gets borked somehow (doesn't load the desktop)
[10:37] <compengi> BlkGhost, which xchat version do you use?
[10:37] <BlkGhost> newest
[10:37] <ShackJack> ben___: tar -xvf filename.tat.gz
[10:37] <clever> wonka071: 'du --max-depth=1 -x 2>/dev/null | sort -n'
[10:37] <compengi> BlkGhost, 2.8.4?
[10:37] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> aztracker1 7.10 Ubuntu?
[10:37] <outlaw6860> ben, i found this to be a lifesaver when i was starting out http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/
[10:38] <clever> wonka071: that will list all folders in the current folder sorted by there size
[10:38] <lmosher> Something has changed after an update (not sure :/), but my mouse buttons are not responding. Before the left-right lean on the mousewheel would trigger 'XF86Forward' and 'XF86Back' in xev. Now I get the left lean as Button 6 but the right lean as nothing. Any idea? I really would like to get my right lean back.
[10:38] <aztracker1> DRuNKeN-MAsTEr, it'll be the next release, around october..
[10:38] <clever> wonka071: cd into / and then run it to see whats fatest
[10:38] <BlkGhost> no xchat - gnome 0.16
[10:38] <hyperion_> slabby: System -> Administration -> Network
[10:38] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> so from 7.04 to 7.10?
[10:38] <ben___> Thanks a lot everybody :)
[10:38] <compengi> BlkGhost, oh that's not the newest one, it changed a lot
[10:38] <aztracker1> DRuNKeN-MAsTEr, basically... 7.04 was released in April of 2007... '07.04
[10:38] <baastrup> is it posible to get the sound preview working in nautilus??
[10:38] <BlkGhost> oh
[10:38] <aztracker1> the next should be in october..
[10:39] <iratsu> how does one do a surface scan in linux to detect bad sectors and such?
[10:39] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> will updates go without a hitch if i use 7.04?
[10:39] <compengi> BlkGhost, go to xchat.org download the source and build it
[10:39] <BlkGhost> k brb
[10:39] <clever> iratsu: its an option to fsck
[10:39] <slabby> hyperion_, I cant see it on there
[10:39] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> slabby start>run>type cmd>enter>ipconfig
[10:39] <slabby> im runing ubuntu
[10:39] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> ip address you want to see slabby
[10:39] <iratsu> clever: ah, thanks
[10:39] <aztracker1> DRuNKeN-MAsTEr, I haven't had issues going from 6.04-6.10-7.04 so it should go smooth.
[10:39] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> nice
[10:40] <slabby> i know how to find my ip on windows
[10:40] <clever> iratsu: -c i beleive
[10:40] <outlaw6860> when i do a lspci -v it shows my card fine, get a card and everything but i still cant get it to work
[10:40] <compengi> slabby, can't you see it through administration>network?
[10:40] <P_Kable> How can I create an ISO file from a cd on ubuntu ?
[10:40] <slabby> compegni, no
[10:40] <clever> slabby: if you run 'ifconfig' in a terminal window youll see it on linux
[10:40] <aztracker1> err 5.10 to 6.06, or something like that.. 5.10 was the first ubuntu I worked on.
[10:40] <compengi> slabby, you are using DHCP?
[10:40] <lmosher> My mouse button 7 is no longer working. Buttons 6 and 7 (mouse wheel left and right) used to trigger as XFree86Forward and Back, but now I only get button6 and no button 7 (in xev)
[10:41] <clever> compengi: even if he has dhcp ifconfig will show it
[10:41] <slabby> compegni, yes, did you mean network tools by any chance?
[10:41] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> sorry slabby thought you were in windows
[10:41] <slabby> ive got it thanks everyone
[10:41] <ds0n> ublender, you still around?
[10:41] <whiteygford> hi?
[10:41] <ublender> yea
[10:41] <whiteygford> i need some serious help
[10:41] <felipe_>  /join
[10:41] <compengi> slabby, network tools does something else
[10:41] <Dhraakellian> how do I get ^U and such to work in gnome?
[10:41] <ShackJack> !ask | whiteygford
[10:41] <ubotu> whiteygford: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:42] <outlaw6860> anyone wanna remote into my machine and help me figure out why my wlan card isnt working? lol i dont care about security atm i just wanna figure it out
[10:42] <ds0n> lame -V2 blah.wav blah.mp3 will get you an average of around 200kbps using vbr
[10:42] <genii> P_Kable if the device the cd is is for instance /dev/hdc and you want to put it in an iso file in your home dir, then:   dd if=/dev/hdc of=~/myisofilename.iso
[10:42] <Dhraakellian> I know how to do it with GTK apps running in KDE with gtk-qt, but how do I do it in a pure Gnome environment?
[10:42] <whiteygford> how do I figure out my root password? i never set one and it never told me it
[10:42] <ds0n> are you looking for more or less then that
[10:42] <ublender> It sucks, I would prefer to use AAC for my music, but I can't get the to work
[10:42] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> toor maybe ?
[10:42] <chyme> :P
[10:42] <ublender> tags*
[10:42] <ShackJack> whiteygford: Check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword?highlight=%28password%29
[10:42] <Dhraakellian> ds0n: doesn't V2 have a target/nominal bitrate of 190 or so?
[10:42] <aztracker1> whiteygford, for sudo, and gksu you use your password..
[10:43] <outlaw6860> your route pass is the same as your username password, it is for me anyway
[10:43] <lmosher> whiteygford, Your root passwd isn't set by default. Use sudo.
[10:43] <P_Kable> genii, thx a lot
[10:43] <ublender> thx though
[10:43] <aztracker1> whiteygford, if absolutely necessary, you can use  sudo su  but it's bad practice..
[10:43] <ds0n> Dhraakellian, out of personal experience i don't really know.  im reading the  lame usage examples on sourceforge
[10:43] <Dhraakellian> outlaw6860: well, more properly, I think gksudo just uses your user password if you don't have a root password set
[10:43] <compengi> aztracker1, he said that after install he was asked for a pass which he didn't insert
[10:43] <wonka071> were is a gd place to get cmd for ubuntu I'am a noob to linux *Laughs* ?
[10:43] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> aztracker1 do you know if there is a support for apps in ubuntu that do the same job like windows apps to rip movies convert them etc,etc...
[10:43] <whiteygford> im a total linux idiot, i just got it so....i dont know what sudo means ^^;;
[10:43] <Dhraakellian> ds0n: I'm going by what I remember seeing on hydrogenaudio
[10:43] <genii> P_Kable You're welcome
[10:44] <Dhraakellian> at least, I think what I described is how kdesu works
[10:44] <Dhraakellian> but I still might be mistaken
[10:44] <aztracker1> DRuNKeN-MAsTEr, they're out there... xDVDRip is one...
[10:44] <lmosher> whiteygford, That's the ubuntu philosophy anyway (not being able to log in as root). Sudo is 'super-user do'. It let's you run a command in the root space. For example, to install software with apt-get you need to type 'sudo apt-get install software-package-name'
[10:44] <aztracker1> DRuNKeN-MAsTEr, there are evil scripts/packages for ubuntu that will install all the stuff for you..

[10:44] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.

[10:44] <ubotu> Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe

[10:45] <outlaw6860> yea sorry meant something different that whay i said you cant log in as route unless you change your runlevel, but you dont need to do that just type sudo b4 you type a command
[10:45] <ShackJack> whiteygford: Are you saying you don't have your user password or forgot it or something (your user/root password) - If so check out link above...
[10:45] <ds0n> Dhraakellian, you may be right.  im tempted to try a few experiments just for the hell of it

[10:45] <whiteygford> i think i got it
[10:45] <whiteygford> ill try
[10:45] <khatuido> there is a yahoo client with webcam?
[10:45] <lmosher> whiteygford, So any command you would need root for, just put 'sudo' in front of it and it will ask you for a passwd, which is your username password
[10:45] <outlaw6860> yea
[10:45] <whiteygford> thanks, if it doesnt work ill be back
[10:45] <chyme> No,, whitey is here (logged in) he has a pass, whitey use sudo whatever,, and use the password you logged in with.

[10:46] <bluesmoon> khatuido: ayttm supports webcam on yahoo
[10:46] <lmosher> ShackJack, I believe he was looking for his root passwd, not his user passwd. I had a similar question when I switched from fedora :)
[10:46] <Anlar> P_Kable: /dev/cdrom usually
[10:46] <clever> P_Kable: check /etc/fstab
[10:46] <khatuido> thanks bluesmoon
[10:46] <ShackJack> lmosher: I thought he lost his user p/w :)

[10:48] <KeVi1> Can someone help me? It says  I can't save a file in a certain place because I'm not root, but I'm using the account I installed Ubuntu with.
[10:49] <genii> P_Kable: I had to be away from computer a minute, glad you got the help you needed :)
[10:49] <jrib> KeVi1: what location?
[10:49] <compengi> wonka071, oh.. maybe you need flash and such?
[10:49] <Dhraakellian> how do I get emacs-like shortcuts (ctrl+U, etc) working in Gnome/GTK apps?
[10:49] <KeVi1> Um. /usr/share/apache2/default-site
[10:50] <ShackJack> KeVi1: You have to open proggie you're saving file with as root to save in locations other than /home, etc...
[10:50] <wonka071> no have flash installed
[10:50] <Anlar> Dhraakellian: 70s called, they want their shortcuts back
[10:50] <ShackJack> KeVi1: i.e. gksudo gedit /usr/share/...etc....
[10:50] <Dhraakellian> Anlar: heh... and I'm a Vim user too, but I still like ^U to work
[10:50] <compengi> wonka071, install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[10:50] <KeVi1> Sudo never works for me. It says my password is wrong
[10:50] <Dhraakellian> and *not* bring up the page source when I'm trying to clear Firefox's location bar
[10:51] <Anlar> Dhraakellian: 60s called and they want that editor back as well

[10:51] <ShackJack> KeVi1: Passwords are case-sensitive... If you forgot it, you can reset it... see help.ubuntu.com
[10:51] <Dhraakellian> jrib: gconf-editor?
[10:51] <jrib> Dhraakellian: yep
[10:51] <Vlet> Is there a meta package that installs all the default ubuntu audio/video stuff?
[10:51] <h1st0> KeVi1: You have to use the administrator password.
[10:52] <whiteygford> hey again
[10:52] <h1st0> KeVi1: if you lost it reboot and boot to single user mode.  then change the passwd
[10:52] <compengi> Vlet, yeah install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[10:52] <Dhraakellian> jrib: 'fraid I'd have to do that
[10:52] <whiteygford> im even more confused now than when i started
[10:52] <Vlet> thanks compengi
[10:52] <jrib> KeVi1: your user password should work
[10:52] <h1st0> whiteygford: ?
[10:52] <jrib> Dhraakellian: why?
[10:52] <compengi> Vlet, np
[10:52] <whiteygford> h/o ill re-explain the problem
[10:52] <Zta> Where does the network-manager save the profiles I make?
[10:53] <KeVi1> It doesn't/
[10:53] <Eoghan> I'm having this problem every time i either update or install a new progam. "vmware-player, action "start" failed"
[10:53] <h1st0> Zta: check in yoyur ~
[10:53] <Eoghan> anyone seen it before
[10:53] <h1st0> Zta: ls -a will show hidden directories.
[10:53] <h1st0> Zta: or ctrl+h in nome file manager.
[10:53] <BlkGhost> is there a way in xchat to get an active list of all users in the current channel like mirc on the left ?
[10:53] <buzz_> Noone knows Hackety hack? it wont run on 64 bit :(
[10:53] <BlkGhost> Right
[10:53] <h1st0> BlkGhost: yeah it should already be there.
[10:53] <whiteygford> ok, i am trying to edit a file so that i can install beryl, but it says im not the owner and that root is the owner, i dont know the root password, nothing ive tried works to log in as root
[10:53] <ShackJack> !enter | whiteygford
[10:53] <ubotu> whiteygford: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[10:54] <CientificoLoco> I have eraesed everything of a memory SD and I want to restore some pictures, is there a way to do it?
[10:54] <h1st0> BlkGhost: look up in the menus like Edit > View or something.
[10:54] <BlkGhost> ahh its just shrunk
[10:54] <Zta> h1st0, can you bit a little more specific, perhaps?
[10:54] <Anlar> whiteygford: "sudo nano -w filename.txt" and give it your normal password
[10:54] <BlkGhost> :)
[10:54] <h1st0> whiteygford: what are you tyring to edit the file with.
[10:54] <Dhraakellian> okay, set it to Emacs ("emacs" doesn't work)
[10:54] <chyme> I'd Blkghost: click and drag the bar over, its "hiding" by default for some reason.
[10:54] <whiteygford> text editor
[10:54] <Dhraakellian> case sensitive, it seems
[10:54] <h1st0> Zta: I'm not sure where it is but i'm sure its in a hidden folder probably in your ~
[10:54] <dewbie> Hey guys
[10:54] <h1st0> whiteygford: you need to use sudo to edit the file
[10:54] <Zta> h1st0, also.. aren't they saved somewhere in /etc since I need rootpassword to configure the network
[10:54] <whiteygford> ok
[10:54] <h1st0> whiteygford: try gksu gedit filename
[10:55] <whiteygford> so i cant log in under root?
[10:55] <h1st0> whiteygford: enter you users password
[10:55] <jrib> KeVi1: what is the output of this command: groups
[10:55] <whiteygford> gotcha
[10:55] <h1st0> whiteygford: you can but typically you shouldn't .  Sudo runs the command as root.
[10:55] <BlkGhost> Does any have any places to get good 2048 X 468 desktop backgrounds or should I just got to " Enlightenment " or is there some sweet theme out there ?
[10:55] <Anlar> whiteygford: NO. command line, put "sudo" before all the commands.
[10:55] <whiteygford> ok
[10:55] <whiteygford> gotcha
[10:55] <h1st0> whiteygford: that way you don't bork something by mistake.
[10:55] <h1st0> Zta: let me look real quick
[10:56] <whiteygford> ok
[10:56] <whiteygford> thank you very much

[10:57] <chyme> On debian boxes, I would set them to disable root and set up sudo[ers] , I appreciate ubuntu automatically setting it up.
[10:57] <jrib> KeVi1: what does this command return: sudo echo hi
[10:57] <Dhraakellian> sudo su - -c passwd
[10:57] <Dhraakellian> will let you set a root password
[10:57] <jrib> Dhraakellian: please don't recommend that
[10:57] <Dhraakellian> if you really wanyeah
[10:57] <BlkGhost> Anyone know of some sweet themes or is Enlightenment better ?
[10:57] <KeVi1> jrib: sudo suddenly started working o.O It returned hi
[10:58] <CientificoLoco> I have eraesed everything of a memory SD and I want to restore some pictures, is there a way to do it?

[11:00] <jesusphreak> what is the best course of action to take if I find that version 2 of a certain piece of software is out but the Ubuntu repositories only have version 1 available?
[11:00] <Eoghan> Why do i have to overwrite loads of vmware files when i do an install or update suddenly?
[11:00] <buzz_> Need help with Hackety Hack.. It won't run on 64 bit Systems!
[11:00] <HOT> Eoghan: did you upgrade the kernel?
[11:01] <Eoghan> nope. not that i know of
[11:01] <Vlet> I seem to have messed up something... xvid's in totem come out all blue-ish, so I mesed with some packages, but then remembered about a gstreamer-properties setting that fixed it, but now I get this error 'could not link audioresample0 to ffmpegcsp0'
[11:01] <sidenet> anybody know what's up with mss2?
[11:01] <jrib> KeVi1: what about:  gksudo 'gedit /usr/share/apache2/default-site'
[11:01] <KeVi1> jrib: Same
[11:01] <Eoghan> try to avoid that sorta stuff, i'm a sudo nerd
[11:01] <jrib> KeVi1: does /usr/share/apache2 exist?

[11:02] <bcnl> I'm having troubles installing SpamPD on Edy Eft, has anyone done this?
[11:02] <DRuNKeN-MAsTEr> what kernel is ubuntu using
[11:02] <sidenet> i've installed all of the codecs available to me from the a/r applications

[11:02] <Kjellviz> anyone know if theres a linux version of Dell Quickset? (or if the windows version works with wine)
[11:02] <KeVi1> jrib: Yes. It opened some odd window.
[11:02] <h1st0> Zta: its in gconf
[11:03] <compengi> st|kkz, the newest is 2.6.20-16-generic
[11:03] <Anlar> sidenet: sounds like the screen optimized wmv.. that'd require likely mplayer
[11:03] <taa> hello
[11:03] <h1st0> Zta: you can use gconf-editor to change them or you can navigate to the directories
[11:03] <compengi> taa, hi
[11:03] <BuFF> how to run programs in c++ ? i tried to compile like this: 'gcc - o program.cpp program' but that doesn't work, any ideas ?
[11:03] <jrib> KeVi1: you can use that to edit and then save with ctrl-o and exit with ctrl-x.  I'm not sure why your gksudo isn't working, but we can troubleshoot some more after you exit nano
[11:03] <sidenet> anlar, totem?
[11:03] <HOT> st|kkz: typically a fnct and something button combo on your laptop will force output to vga port
[11:03] <jrib> BuFF: use g++
[11:03] <st|kkz> already got it...it's a fresh install - I'm a newbie
[11:03] <h1st0> Zta: ~/.gconf/system/networking/wireless/networks/
[11:03] <Anlar> sidenet: no, totem will not work I think.
[11:03] <h1st0> Zta: or just gconf-editor in a terminal and navigate there with the gui
[11:03] <Eoghan> HOT? no, i didn't mess with the kernel
[11:03] <jrib> BuFF: g++ -o foo foo.cc
[11:04] <slabby> Does anyone know how to setup FreeNX for access through a web applet?

[11:04] <sidenet> can you point me to a tutorial or something
[11:04] <BuFF> jrib i'll tyr
[11:04] <Anlar> sidenet: you need mplayer+w32codecs

[11:04] <buzz_> Are there some linux screenshot tools, just like the FIrefox Extension "Screen Grab"?
[11:04] <sidenet> the last 2-3 tutorials i used did not pan out
[11:04] <h1st0> jesusphreak: well then install it.  Either from source or if they have a .deb availible.
[11:04] <Zta> h1st0, ...only I don't have that directory on my system =\
[11:04] <jrib> KeVi1: when you do    nano /new/file    it will create it
[11:05] <taa> i would like to know more about ubuntu project management (writing system requirement/specification, developement, meetings ..) anything related to this point, anyone have a goos starting point ?
[11:05] <Eoghan> HOT: okay, that just a matter of typing sudo apt get install vmware again?
[11:05] <jesusphreak> h1st0: isn't installing from source 'bad'?
[11:05] <h1st0> Zta: What are you trying to do exactly?
[11:05] <jesusphreak> h1st0: like can create dependency problems
[11:05] <h1st0> jesusphreak: no

[11:09] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> anyone willling to help with tovid issue it wont let me burn http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31157/
[11:09] <jrib> bcnl: that usually means there is some script that is calling /bin/sh when it should be calling /bin/bash instead.  You can either fix the problem with the script or switch back to bash instead of dash with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash'
[11:09] <jrib> slabby: no

[11:10] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)

[11:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about w32codec - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[11:11] <h1st0> Zta: You don't have a System folder in gconf-editor?
[11:11] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> anyone willing to help with a tovid issue http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31157/
[11:11] <sidenet> nvm, i got it
[11:11] <Zta> h1st0, you're running Ubuntu 7.04 too?
[11:11] <h1st0> Zta: yes
[11:12] <Zta> h1st0, I have a /system, yes
[11:12] <h1st0> Zta: run it as a normal user not sudo just alt+f2 then gconf-editor
[11:12] <ben__> OK, I've got a couple of ideas for something I want to do, but I need to know EVERY instance where ubuntu logs its/your activities. Like where terminal commands are stored, anything like that.
[11:12] <whiteygford> ok, i cant access most of my admin settings
[11:12] <h1st0> Zta: inside of the system folder is there a networking folder?
[11:12] <whiteygford> and im the admin
[11:12] <adminuser> #macedonia
[11:12] <bcnl> jrib: yea I did that by had (changed /bin/sh to /bin/bash)
[11:12] <Zta> h1st0, no.  There's dns_sd, gstreamer, http_proxy, smb, and storage
[11:13] <bcnl> what's the purpose of Dash anyway?  I've had a few issues with it
[11:13] <h1st0> Zta: hrm.. did you just set up the network manager?

[11:13] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> anyone willing to help with a tovid issue...won't let me burn to dvd...http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31157/
[11:13] <jrib> bcnl: it's lighter and it's posic compliant, if a script calls /bin/sh it should be able to run through dash unless it uses some bashisms
[11:13] <jrib> bcnl: posix too
[11:14] <buzz_> outlaw6860: tried sudo modprobe YOURDRIVERNAME ?
[11:14] <whiteygford> im the only admin
[11:14] <h1st0> whiteygford: then when it prompts for a password try your users password
[11:14] <compengi> ben__, and check also administration > system logs
[11:14] <buzz_> or loading it in with ndisgtk?

[11:16] <blairellis> Is there a way to change the icon in the corner (the default ubuntu logo) to say a gnome foot icon?

[11:16] <adamorjames> ooh sounds cool blair
[11:16] <h1st0> whiteygford: can you get to System > administration > users & groups   ?

[11:17] <whiteygford> thats the thing, i cant get to that, and when i try to edit the menu to make it show it, it wont do it
[11:17] <h1st0> Zta: maybe you are running sudo gconf-editor instead of just gconf-editor
[11:17] <slabby> *tasksel
[11:17] <h1st0> whiteygford: alright hold up
[11:17] <whiteygford> ok
[11:18] <h1st0> whiteygford: you don't have the ability to administer the system then.
[11:18] <whiteygford> exactly
[11:18] <buzz_> blairellis: its possible, http://czarism.com/changing-the-ubuntu-logo-in-breezy this link is for breezy, but it should work in feisty
[11:18] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> will do, again sorry about being impatient im reading up on the code of conduct stuff right now

[11:20] <quaal2> hello does anyone know how to completely remove a program? i am trying to remove vmware that i installed from the default sources.list
[11:20] <whiteygford> i just did what you said to in terminal and it asks for my password then does nothing
[11:20] <quaal2> i'm getting an error when trying to install from the updated sources.list
[11:20] <Zta> h1st0, do you want a screenshot? =)
[11:20] <jonatan> quaal2: use aptitude to purge it
[11:20] <h1st0> quaal2: sudo aptitude purge <packagename>
[11:20] <h1st0> Zta: I believe you.
[11:20] <compengi> quaal, what kind of error?
[11:20] <h1st0> whiteygford: hrm...
[11:20] <buzz_> @blairellis: it doesnt seem to work for me
[11:20] <mneptok> quaal2: sudo apt-get autoremove $packagename
[11:20] <quaal2> jonatan, h1st0 i did sudo apt-get remove --purge vmware-player
[11:20] <jonatan> quaal2: aptitude remove <package> will remove it but leave teh configuration files, use purge if you want to remoe those as well
[11:20] <quaal2> as well as vmware-server
[11:20] <zmeiat_joro> should I run BIND on my desktop? can I?
[11:21] <fishfinger> quaal2, Put the --purge before remove :)
[11:21] <quaal2> hmm
[11:21] <blairellis> Buzz_: me either
[11:21] <mneptok> zmeiat_joro: if you're asking, you shouldn't
[11:21] <jonatan> quaal2: oh, ok, usually aptitude is a bit better at removing stuff than apt-get because it handles dependancies a bit differently
[11:21] <whiteygford> should i just try re-installing the whole system? the only real change ive made is downloaded updates
[11:21] <Xiang-yu> hi*
[11:21] <zmeiat_joro> mneptok: but my ISP's DNS sucks majorly
[11:21] <buzz_> i know it works from terminal, as far as i know there is no simple interface for that yet
[11:22] <buzz_> but i keep searching.. :)
[11:22] <h1st0> whiteygford: I'm trying to figure out a way to get around it.
[11:22] <h1st0> whiteygford: no I wouldn't
[11:22] <h1st0> whiteygford: there is a way to fix it i'm just not sure how to.
[11:22] <whiteygford> ok
[11:22] <jonatan> quaal2: I strongly recomend using aptitude rather than apt-get for package management. especially is you are not uite sure what you are doing
[11:22] <quaal2> http://pastebin.ca/632449
[11:22] <quaal2> is what i get
[11:22] <quaal2> even after doing the --purge remove
[11:22] <h1st0> whiteygford: try opening a terminal and sudo su -
[11:22] <h1st0> whiteygford: then whne you get a root prompt try users-admin
[11:23] <quaal2> jonatan, i am pretty used to apt-get
[11:23] <quaal2> usually it works.
[11:23] <zmeiat_joro> mneptok: how sure are you that I shouldn't?
[11:23] <jrib> h1st0, whiteygford: haven't read the scrollback, but is whiteygford in the "admin" group?
[11:23] <jonatan> quaal2: it works okish for installing stuff, but aptitude is better when you remove it
[11:23] <h1st0> jrib: I dunno what he did i'm thinking he just unchecked administer system in the gnome users app
[11:23] <ogami1972> hi all- am trying to access a web app for my job- allegedly on .NET framework- i can log in, but no links works- any ideas?
[11:23] <whiteygford> i put that and got nothing, just another command line
[11:23] <quaal2> jonatan, ok i'll keep that in mind
[11:23] <quaal2> thanks
[11:23] <jrib> whiteygford: what's the output of 'groups'
[11:24] <h1st0> whiteygford: does the command line say root@blah  instead of whiteygford@blah?
[11:24] <jonatan> quaal2: basically when aptitude installs dependancies it marks them as automatically installed, so it will clean up after itself when you remove the stuff that needs it
[11:24] <kinglet> hey all :D
[11:24] <whiteygford> no
[11:24] <kinglet> i have a question
[11:24] <LDZ420> !debconf
[11:24] <ubotu> debconf is a configuration management system. All packages that support debconf are configured when they are being installed. If you want to change a configuration option later, you can do so using dpkg-reconfigure
[11:24] <kinglet> who can help me ?
[11:24] <jrib> kinglet: welcome, just ask :)
[11:24] <compengi> !ask | kinection
[11:24] <ubotu> kinection: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:24] <compengi> !ask | kinglet
[11:24] <ubotu> kinglet: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:24] <compengi> kinection, sorry
[11:24] <jonatan> quaal2: I'm afraid I can't help you with vmware don't have much experiencewith it
[11:24] <h1st0> whiteygford: whats the output of groups
[11:24] <dyrne> quaal2: apt-get is like a hot supermodel that can't cook. aptitude is like living with your mom... you choose ;p
[11:25] <quaal2> dyrne, i'll use either
[11:25] <buzz_> blairellis: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=439531

[11:26] <h1st0> jrib: how does he add his user to admin group?
[11:26] <jrib> whiteygford: reboot, choose "recovery mode" from the grub menu, issue the command 'adduser andrew admin', reboot
[11:26] <whiteygford> how can i put it there?
[11:26] <kinglet> i cant install that @ linux ubuntu

[11:26] <compengi> kinglet, oh why?
[11:26] <whiteygford> ok
[11:26] <whiteygford> thanks
[11:26] <jonatan> quaal2: most likely what has happened is that some dependancies or configuration files have been left over
[11:26] <h1st0> whiteygford: single user from grub menu
[11:26] <buzz_> blairellis: did that help?
[11:26] <blairellis> buzz_: Ill give that a go in a bit I gotta run real quick Ill be on later and let you know how it works out

[11:27] <whiteygford> brb then, thanks for all your help!
[11:27] <jonatan> quaal2: run aptitude in graphical mode and search through for packages that contain "vm-ware" and make sure they are uninstalled
[11:27] <Zta> h1st0, I still can't image why root-protected information it's kept in my USER'S home dir.
[11:27] <h1st0> Zta: like locate ~/*networks*
[11:27] <vas> thnx
[11:27] <jonatan> quaal2: you may also want to check the support forums for vm-ware
[11:27] <h1st0> Zta: or locate networks
[11:27] <vas> so chmod 444 would be read?
[11:27] <quaal2> http://pastebin.ca/632457 this is the complete deal
[11:28] <quaal2> i've removed everything
[11:28] <h1st0> Zta: your config should be inside of the networks folder wherever that is on your system.
[11:28] <whiteygford> can i get that command one more time?

[11:35] <jrib> palomer: ah with reiser I don't know. I assumed ext3 before

[11:37] <SeveredCross> Though I'm not sure.
[11:37] <HOT> you will need to be root then "reiserfsck --rebuild-tree -S -l /root/recovery.log /dev/hda" obviously hda is whatever the device is

[11:38] <HOT> palomer: nope but that is how data is recovered in reiserfs
[11:38] <Absenth> !qemu
[11:38] <ubotu> qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo
[11:38] <palomer> what you're suggesting is that I restart my computer, insert the Ubuntu CD, and then work from there
[11:39] <slabby> !php
[11:39] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)

[11:49] <obf213> twice my keyboard has not worked coming back from a suspend mode
[11:49] <siegie> Hi i have a problem with nfs, when i try to mount a partitition on my server using sudo mount -o port=2049 <IP_ADDRESS>:/backup /mnt , then i see on my firewall on the server that he is trying on a different port 658,
[11:49] <obf213> once it was from a screen saver, the other it was from suspend, how do i fix this, it never happened before when iahd kubuntu
[11:49] <adamorjames> It would be easier than moving it from one partition to another h1st0
[11:49] <benjiiiiii> how do i fix boot error 21 problem?
[11:50] <cafuego> adamorjames: If /var is too big, you can clean up some of the downloaded packages by running 'sudo apt-get clean'.
[11:50] <h1st0> adamorjames: why moving it isn't that hard.
[11:50] <aztracker1> Quick question... is there a way to make a directory, say /usr/media read/write to all users, so that any files dropped in will be read-write?
[11:50] <PF|WSTP> what does apt-get clean do>
[11:50] <h1st0> aztracker1: yes
[11:51] <cafuego> PF|WSTP: Cleans the cache in /var/cache/apt/archives/
[11:51] <adamorjames> h1st0 let me create a new partition and such and then I'll talk to you and maybe you can helpme
[11:51] <aztracker1> h1st0, care to expand..

[11:51] <cafuego> No, this is a channel, not a room.
[11:51] <h1st0> can't adamorjames just mount the new partition to /var
[11:51] <h1st0> ?
[11:51] <Invisionfree> Excuse me: HOw can I configure my internet settings like you can on Windows?

[11:52] <tbtroja> Invisionfree, what kind of Internet settings?
[11:52] <aztracker1> h1st0, will that include subdirs?
[11:52] <Invisionfree> tbtroja: Like TCP/IP on Windows

[11:52] <nextse7en> I'm about to have to del my ubuntu install and go back to XP.  I can't get dual monitors to work.
[11:52] <Absenth> benjiiiiii: also.  in google type.....   +ubuntu +boot error +21
[11:52] <jhaig> Regarding my swat problem; I found the solution - it was a typo in the xinitd config file (ahem)
[11:52] <aztracker1> h1st0, no..
[11:53] <miles800> Removing the last 4 characters from each item outputted from ls would work for me as well if anyone knows how to do that
[11:53] <aztracker1> h1st0, basically want a media folder all users can access.
[11:53] <cafuego> grub error 21 means grub can't find its stage_1.5 file, configured to boot off the wring disk
[11:53] <adamorjames> h1st0 I am trying to move my var folder on to a different partition because the one it's on is  a primary and I need that primary so I can install a different distro
[11:53] <nextse7en> I was so close to getting everything set up, but I'm a graphic designer, and the ability to just connect a monitor to my laptop and go is essential.
[11:53] <cafuego> wrong disk, too
[11:54] <Dark_Shadow> aya bonne nuit
[11:54] <Jack_Sparrow> adamorjames: You can have more than 4 partitions if they are on an extended partition
[11:54] <cafuego> nextse7en: That functionality is under contruction :-)
[11:54] <riotkittie> is beryl/compiz/whatever  easier to set up on fiesty than it is on dapper, or are they about the same?  [i'm going to install on my "new desktop", and am debating dl'ing fiesty, or sticking with dapper whose discs i have on hand]
[11:54] <nextse7en> Does anyone know of a simplified way to allow my desktop to extend to an external monitor?
[11:54] <h1st0> aztracker1: chmod a+rw -R <directory> would be recursive
[11:54] <miles800> nextse7en: What card?
[11:54] <compengi> tbtroja, can't find it =/
[11:54] <nextse7en> ATI M200.

[11:54] <h1st0> aztracker1: is the media folder mounted?  or just some folder you made?
[11:54] <LLFedora> nextse7en: what video card does your laptop have?
[11:54] <tbtroja> compengi, that's alright, do you know if I basically do the same stuff for the base game?
[11:55] <spy80us> i need to rebuild kernel after updating the AMD X2 driver from AMD.com  so how do i do that
[11:55] <nextse7en> I've tried Xinerama, didn't work, I was very careful with my xorg.conf.... LLFedora, M200 series. ATI.
[11:55] <compengi> tbtroja, search in ubuntu forums it would help you a lot
[11:55] <tbtroja> compengi, will do, thanks. :]
[11:55] <compengi> tbtroja, np :)
[11:55] <miles800> nextse7en.  I have an ati radeon mobility 9200.  For me, restarting the x server with the monitor plugged in makes it switch to the monitor.  But ya, dual monitors in linux is a bitch...
[11:55] <h1st0> aztracker1: cuz if its a mount then you could just have it mount so that all people have rw
[11:55] <LLFedora> sorry, don't know how to do it with ATI
[11:56] <h1st0> adamorjames: well first cleaning up the /var/cache/apt/archives will help
[11:56] <riotkittie> err. is there a ubuntu chan related to beryl/compiz/whatever it is? :o
[11:56] <h1st0> adamorjames: sudo apt-get clean
[11:56] <magnetron> riotkittie: #ubuntu-effects
[11:56] <adamorjames> ok h1st0
[11:56] <compengi> !kernel > spy80us
[11:56] <Jack_Sparrow> adamorjames: You can also just burn those archives to a cd or dvd
[11:56] <riotkittie> magnetron: thank youuuuuuuuuuuu :D
[11:56] <nextse7en> I wouldn't care so much, if I could get the external monitor to hit the proper resolution (1600X1200) but I added that resolution to my xorg.conf file, and it still does not show as an option.
[11:56] <obf213> does anyone know how to ensure the keyboard will work after suspend?
[11:57] <nextse7en> External monitor only works at 1024x768
[11:57] <eluzi> can anyone point me a script that converts seconds since 1970 to actual date ?!?
[11:57] <h1st0> obf213: yeah when it doesn't just reboot
[11:57] <Jack_Sparrow> obf213: Is it std keyboard, usb or bluetooth
[11:57] <obf213> standard
[11:57] <obf213> its a laptop
[11:57] <riotkittie> ugh. my box is currently windows only. i'm starting to feel dirty. :|
[11:57] <nextse7en> eluzi, if you counted all the seconds since 1970, they would equal todays date. lol
[11:57] <obf213> i had kubuntu a while back, this never happened
[11:58] <riotkittie> obf213 > what kind of laptop?
[11:58] <obf213> dell e1405
[11:58] <obf213> every now and then keyboard just wont work
[11:58] <adamorjames> h1st0 it won't let me create a different type of partition, it only lets me create a primary
[11:58] <quaal2> isnt installing the macromedia flash plugin from the add/remove programs menu supposed to just work in firefox ?
[11:58] <quaal2> because i still have no flash
[11:58] <riotkittie> obf213 > ah, i feel you. i have teh same issue with my ancient latitude. havent found a fix yet. and i swear, it only happens at the most inconvenient times :P
[11:58] <eluzi> nextse7en: ha ha ha :D seriously, it's urgent !!
[11:59] <obf213> something with the new kernel maybe. this never happened with 6.04
