[07:39] <StucKman> then... what? bittornado? is there ktorrent?
[07:39] <vlauzums> ohgood: gui
[07:39] <ohgood> ok, nevermind :)
[07:39] <LjL> StucKman: it isn't. though perhaps they have ubuntu packages on their site, dunno, but it's definitely not in the standard reps
[07:40] <vlauzums> thanks for the suggestions everyone
[07:40] <robotgeek> ruby123: kdevelop3
[07:40] <StucKman> spikebike: allocated, but still a lot of memory (yes, I said ram before)
[07:40] <LjL> ktorrent would be nice and fast, except it keeps crashing on me
[07:40] <LjL> (hanging actually)
[07:40] <green_earz> vlauzums: aptitude search bittornado-gui   to see if its on your apt-get mirror
[07:40] <spikebike> allocated memory is free, I would compare using resident
[07:40] <ruby123> robotgeek: argh. it keeps saying "Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/m4/m4_1.4.3-1_i386.deb  Size mismatch"
[07:40] <Malachi> Is it just me, or is the Linux version of Nvu a little buggy?
[07:41] <LjL> ruby123: try another mirror perhaps
[07:41] <ruby123> LjL: how do that?
[07:41] <KurtKraut> irvin: can you say me what is the name of this package: http://www.kurtkraut.net/ubuntu/flight4/ (pictures) - I want to report that.
[07:41] <shikamaru85> anyone know how i use the gdm themes downloaded from gdm-look
[07:41] <LjL> ruby123: change "us." into something else in your /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:41] <chromebuntu> i have loads of problems with the official mirrors
[07:41] <KurtKraut> irvin: So I need the name of the package where this code is.
[07:41] <StucKman> spikebike: well, actually is what top reports as VSIZE, which if not in real RAM, it's in swap
[07:41] <bunniears> n/m figured it my self :/
[07:41] <shikamaru85> and the plashcreens
[07:41] <spikebike> which seems insane
[07:41] <LjL> ruby123: like "ca.", or "it.", "fr.", whatever nation
[07:41] <spikebike> oops
[07:41] <ruby123> LjL: thank
[07:41] <chromebuntu> LjL: most of the *.archive.ubuntu.com servers all point to the same machine (at least for me)
[07:42] <shikamaru85> sorry, splashscreens
[07:42] <mAIJK> Where do I find the file there my webmin accout is?
[07:42] <spikebike> stuck right, so use RSZ or similar
[07:42] <chromebuntu> LjL: ah its different now :)
[07:42] <LjL> chromebuntu: well, the italian mirror is on an italian machine, i can assure you... also, i recall the romanian mirror is as well. don't know about the others
[07:42] <irvin> KurtKraut: that's a fsck
[07:43] <irvin> KurtKraut: a file system check if a drive is u/mounted 30 times
[07:43] <cyblivious> how can i set some apps to run at startup?
[07:43] <StucKman> mAIJK: open a browser, goto http://localhost:10000/ and use your user and password
[07:43] <KurtKraut> irvin: No, it is not. I've booted a LiveCD with Flight4 and in the first menu I asked it to check the integrity of the CD.
[07:44] <LjL> cyblivious: just open the apps that you want to open at startup, and then logout choosing to "save your session"
[07:44] <KurtKraut> irvin: And when a file is not okay, he prompts the error 'mismatch'. But look carefully to those pictures. The word 'mismatch' in read is scrambled with other words. Ther e is a error in the prompting.
[07:44] <cyblivious> hehe, isn't there a more 'proper' way?
[07:44] <ruby123> LjL: yaay! it workes :-)
[07:45] <ruby123> mi beautiful kdevelop :-)
[07:45] <StucKman> ruby123: enjoy :)
[07:45] <LjL> :)
[07:45] <KurtKraut> irvin: do you know the name of that package ? I need that to report it in the URL you gave me.
[07:45] <irvin> KurtKraut: oh it's a livecd... better ask in -devel for the correct one.
[07:46] <KurtKraut> irvin: '-devel' ? Where exactly ?
[07:46] <LjL> cyblivious: i don't think it's considered "improper", really
[07:46] <irvin> KurtKraut: #ubuntu-devel
[07:46] <KurtKraut> irvin: ok, thanks.
[07:46] <cyblivious> but then, i have to always leave those apps open before shutting down
[07:47] <tmg2> Hello!
[07:47] <LjL> cyblivious: no, if you don't normally save your session
[07:47] <StucKman> cyblivious: you can save the session just once, and then never ever again
[07:47] <cyblivious> it's always set to save my session
[07:47] <StucKman> cyblivious: gnome or kde?
[07:47] <tmg2> Somebody knows why xedit isn't on ubuntu ?
[07:47] <cyblivious> kde
[07:47] <LjL> cyblivious: well, then i can tell you i have a ".kde/Autostart" directory. not sure about gnome, though"!
[07:48] <Morrowyn> no idea, try gedit or kate
[07:48] <cyblivious> isn't there a startup folder or text file?
[07:48] <LjL> cyblivious: (anyway, session saving can be disabled if you don't need it)
[07:48] <cyblivious> i see. thanks
[07:48] <StucKman> cyblivious: ah, then you have the Autostart directory. serach for it
[07:48] <tmg2> gedit is heavy :|
[07:48] <ConfidentiaL> Is it possible to connect to Microsoft's Remote Desktop, with Linux?
[07:48] <tmg2> I'm using qemacs now :)
[07:48] <spikebike> rdesktop
[07:48] <cyblivious> so, i should just place some shorcuts into that dir?
[07:48] <tmg2> That's a very good small editor :)
[07:48] <cyblivious> so, i should just place some shortcuts into that dir?
[07:48] <Morrowyn> :)
[07:49] <LjL> cyblivious: if you mean "symlinks", i guess so
[07:49] <StucKman> cyblivious: yes,
[07:49] <benplaut> having some problems with a broken JFS
[07:49] <dutch> what does ubuntu use as a cvs client ?
[07:49] <cyblivious> sorry, just been a linux user for less than a week
[07:49] <LjL> dutch: cvs? =)
[07:49] <dutch> yeah
[07:50] <LjL> dutch: i mean, i guess it uses cvs :)
[07:50] <benplaut> I had to force-shutdown, and now it's hanging on boot... only mounts root filesystem as RO... anyone know what to do?
[07:50] <dutch> ...trying to get a cvs webcam driver..
[07:50] <LjL> dutch: at least, i just type "cvs"
[07:50] <benplaut> it goes into recovery mode just fine, but i'm not sure what the do from there
[07:50] <dutch> okay,  i'll try it..thanks
[07:50] <LjL> dutch: you'll need to have it installed of course, "sudo aptitude install cvs"
[07:51] <cyblivious> i think i saw an app or option somewhere wherein i can set the apps to autostart. can't remember the utility though
[07:51] <dutch> LjL:  guess that would be  a good place to start
[07:51] <Dr_Willis> benplaut,  'check' the file systems - with . err.. i forget the name of the shell command. lol - aint used it in ages
[07:51] <benplaut> fsck?
[07:52] <rockyburt> hm, anyone know if the sun jdk is available as a package for dapper drake yet?
[07:52] <LjL> dutch: then you can have several graphical front-ends if you like... just search for "gnome cvs" or "kde cvs"
[07:52] <soma> i cant install libssl-dev, cause it depends on an older version of libssl, any clues how i can override it?
[07:52] <shaa-gi> benplaut: yes.  fsck (or jfs_fsck)
[07:52] <emmo> can I ask a question but without messing aroud with me I just say that because some users are really nice but other are very nasty....sorry to that.
[07:52] <Dr_Willis> rockyburt,  i followed the !java bot url and installed it that way
[07:52] <LjL> emmo: just ask
[07:52] <rockyburt> !java
[07:52] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadebs
[07:52] <shaa-gi> benplaut: the entry in /etc/fstab should have a 1 in the last column.  Then fsck should run automatically during reboot
[07:53] <Dr_Willis> rockyburt,  theyr method makes a package  that you can then install.
[07:53] <rockyburt> gotcha
[07:53] <emmo> why I have that output :$ ./browser2.hta
[07:53] <emmo> ksh: ./browser2.hta: cannot execute - Permission denied
[07:53] <LjL> emmo: try "chmod +x browser2.hta"
[07:53] <soma> anyone know how i can force an apt-get install, if it says broken dependency?
[07:54] <LjL> soma: you can't, afaik
[07:54] <emmo> LjL: on my terminal ?
[07:54] <LjL> emmo: yes
[07:54] <soma> LjL, argh! :)
[07:54] <mzinz> I'm trying to install Synaptics Touchpad Drivers.. When I select for install, I get the following:  Depends: xserver-xfree86 (> 4.1.0).  I can't find this file anywhere in package manager..
[07:54] <LjL> soma: you can only use dpkg to install the stuff manually
[07:54] <LjL> soma: but then, next time apt-get (or aptitude) runs, it will try to remove it
[07:55] <rockyburt> Dr_Willis: you did that for dapper? i can't seem to find a java-package deb to install (the wiki docs say i must install this)
[07:55] <benplaut> shaa-gi: i can get into recovery... should i just run the check from there?
[07:55] <Dr_Willis> rockyburt,  the directions i found told you how ti MAKE that deb.
[07:55] <shaa-gi> benplaut: yes, that should work
[07:55] <ConfidentiaL> I know that linux doesn't use batch files, but how do I make a terminal file that launches a command when I click the file? I would like it for the remote desktop...
[07:55] <cyblivious> has anyone experienced having their pc unstable and jerky after mounting an ntfs partition?
[07:55] <emmo> LjL: but what is chmod +x ? what that means ??
[07:55] <mzinz> How do I enable X Shared Memory Config in XF86Config?
[07:55] <LjL> ConfidentiaL: uh, i'm not sure what you mean? you click on what?
[07:55] <Dr_Willis> ConfidentiaL,  where did ya hear that about 'batch files' - i use them all the time.
[07:56] <rockyburt> Dr_Willis: no, the instructions describe how to make "j2re1.5_1.5.0+update06_i386.deb", but you need java-package installed in order to make it
[07:56] <Dr_Willis> ConfidentiaL,  you can eaially make a 'launcher' that runs any shell script you make.
[07:56] <LjL> emmo: it changes the permissions on the file, and makes it executable for its owner. in order to execute files, they must be marked as executable
[07:56] <Dr_Willis> rockyburt,  i do belive ya had to have multiverse or somthng in the repos for that package.
[07:56] <ConfidentiaL> Dr_Willis : How?
[07:56] <irvin> emmo: that means your giving execute permission on a file... man chmod for more info
[07:56] <benplaut> shaa-gi: do you know what a 'xtree page corrupt' is? i think the journal is b0rked
[07:56] <mzinz> I'm trying to install Synaptics Touchpad Drivers.. When I select for install, I get the following:  Depends: xserver-xfree86 (> 4.1.0).  I can't find this file anywhere in package manager..
[07:56] <rockyburt> Dr_Willis: i think java-package provides "make-jpkg"
[07:56] <rockyburt> i have multiverse :(
[07:56] <Dr_Willis> rockyburt,  i rember adding somthing. let me check
[07:57] <LjL> emmo: likewise, they must be set as readable to read them, and writable to write them. every file has three set of permissions --- one that decides what the *owner* of the file can do, one that decides what the *group* of users that the file belongs to can do, and one that decides that the *world* can do
[07:57] <shaa-gi> shaa-gi: it means you won't be able to recover whatever file it's complaining about
[07:57] <Dr_Willis> rockyburt,  main restricted universe multiverse
[07:57] <shaa-gi> benplaut: lit means you won't be able to recover whatever file it's complaining about
[07:58] <benplaut> shaa-gi: so i should rescue on a livecd and reinstall?
[07:58] <rockyburt> Dr_Willis: i already have:  deb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[07:58] <LjL> emmo: try "ls -l any-file-you-like" -- it will show something like "-rwxrwxrwx" (or "-rwx-r----", or various combinations). from left to right, that's what the owner, group and world can do
[07:58] <mzinz> Synaptics touchpad driver says I need a newer version of xserver-xfree86.  When I do apt-get install xserver-xfree86, it says I have the newest version... im stuck
[07:58] <emmo> so just last question guys...always when I have that output I can do the same command ???
[07:58] <Dr_Willis> rockyburt,   no clue.. i just adeed multiverse to like all the repos :P and got it.
[07:58] <LjL> emmo: no, not blindly...
[07:59] <LjL> emmo: "permission denied" can come up for various reasons, only one of which is the file not being marked as executable
[07:59] <shaa-gi> benplaut: fsck should tell you the path to any files that cannot be fixed.  You may be able to recover and just have to fix a file or two
[07:59] <LjL> emmo: for example, you may simply not be the owner of that file -- if that's the case, you won't even be able to change its permissions
[07:59] <ConfidentiaL> Dr_Willis : What is the extension name for the file? Is it .bat here too?
[07:59] <shaa-gi> benplaut: Unless it spews out a whole lot of errors
[07:59] <LjL> emmo: (in that case, you can change them using "sudo chmod", but you should take a lot of care with that)
[07:59] <benplaut> shaa-gi: by fixing a file you mean deleting it?
[08:00] <Dr_Willis> ConfidentiaL,  now is the time for you to learn some linux basics. :P  it does not have to have any extension. and can be in any of a dozen programing languages.
[08:00] <LjL> ConfidentiaL: there are no extensions in linux
[08:00] <shaa-gi> benplaut: fsck will delete a file it can't fix
[08:00] <benplaut> ahh
[08:00] <TonyB2006> the 64bit ubuntu installer keeps freezing as its installing
[08:00] <TonyB2006> the md5sum of the cd is fine
[08:00] <ConfidentiaL> oh, lol, NICE!:D
[08:00] <benplaut> so recovery of the fs isn't possible?
[08:00] <shaa-gi> benplaut: Depending on the file, you might not worry about it.  It depends on the file
[08:01] <benplaut> says the filesystem is clean
[08:01] <blueboy> hi all ..just testing ubuntu and came to realise that it didn't ask me for a root password? Whats that all about ?
[08:01] <ConfidentiaL> so I can write like a C++ code in an empty document, and just run it?
[08:01] <shaa-gi> benplaut: that's good
[08:01] <LjL> ConfidentiaL: at the beginning on a script, you can type  "  #/bin/sh  " -- this means that the script will be executed by /bin/sh, which is the system shell
[08:01] <emmo> LjL: yeah I'm not owner ...so where shall I lean more about that but with more details ?
[08:01] <LjL> ConfidentiaL: but it can be anything else, like a Perl interpreter, whatever
[08:01] <emmo> LjL:please..
[08:01] <LjL> !tell emmo about cli
[08:01] <benplaut> brb
[08:02] <ConfidentiaL> LjL : What about C++ in it?
[08:02] <LjL> ConfidentiaL: not unless you find a C++ *interpreter*
[08:02] <LjL> ConfidentiaL: and C/C++ are usually *compiled* language, though there are certainly some interpreters for C around... not sure about C++
[08:02] <blueboy> can anybody help me please with ( I am sure ) this simple Q ?
[08:02] <Dr_Willis> heh...
[08:03] <mivecz> hello  how i  fix  some bugs in  ubundu the  command

[08:08] <LjL> Siddhartha211: (are you kidding me?)
[08:08] <bestadvocate> this is highly entertaining
[08:08] <alteroo> Siddhartha211: how old are you?

[08:10] <ice> synaptic
[08:10] <nickrud> !java
[08:10] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadebs
[08:10] <alteroo> Siddhartha211: reading is a good way to start learning how to use irc chats
[08:10] <EvilGuru> is there a breezy backports project>
[08:10] <alteroo> Big`Hades: have you tried the site
[08:10] <nickrud> javadebs are nice
[08:10] <VarkOogTandePast> ice how do i set up my VPN on ubuntu?
[08:10] <VarkOogTandePast> please help
[08:10] <ice> hmm
[08:10] <alteroo> Big`Hades: http://www.ubuntu.com/ <-- check it out
[08:10] <Big`Hades> alteroo: yes but is easyer here
[08:10] <heishiro> ill try synaptic.. but i searched for it and it didnt show.
[08:10] <VarkOogTandePast> thats like te decideing factor for me to carry on using it
[08:10] <ice> best bet check out vpn servers first and a client
[08:11] <Big`Hades> alteroo: why is this distro so good ?
[08:11] <ice> then go from there
[08:11] <ice> sorry I use remote desktop
[08:11] <EvilGuru> anyone know if there is one
[08:11] <wter> where will java automaticcaly be installed, cause i have to set $JAVA_HOME to it
[08:11] <VarkOogTandePast> i c
[08:11] <alteroo> Big`Hades: I trust you havent tried it either
[08:11] <bestadvocate> Big`Hades: Its the Universe that won me over
[08:11] <nickrud> heishiro, search for jre2 (for blackdown java) if you can't find it, you need to enable the multiverse repository
[08:11] <oklinux> how do I make the icon on the desktop smaller ?
[08:11] <VarkOogTandePast> bleh, coz i only got the VPN setting from my isp
[08:11] <irvin> Big`Hades: because it just works? ;)
[08:11] <Big`Hades> :)
[08:12] <alteroo> Siddhartha211: so.. yeah.. you want to open a pdf?
[08:12] <StucKman> wter: most likely in /usr/lib/java or something similat
[08:12] <abre> what would be the best program for graphically partitioning my hd?
[08:12] <heishiro> ok nickrud, ill try that... The Multiverse repository i think is enabled... Ill check anyway. Thanks
[08:12] <VarkOogTandePast> The VPN is a local internet service provider, 512kbps uncapped
[08:12] <alteroo> Big`Hades: it works well too
[08:12] <LjL-Dinner> abre: gparted
[08:12] <VarkOogTandePast> r399 pm
[08:12] <LjL-Dinner> Big`Hades: because debian's good, and ubuntu is based on debian with some nice refinements for the desktop user
[08:12] <nickrud> oklinux, System->Prefs->File manager, change the icon zoom
[08:12] <StucKman> abre: best? partition magic, colsed dource, paid. if not, you can try the gparted live cd
[08:12] <wter> StucKman, in /usr/lib isnt a dir called java only a file called java
[08:13] <nickrud> oklinux, that'll change the sizes in a filemanager window also, though
[08:13] <StucKman> wter: that must be /usr/bin/java
[08:13] <ice> alright now someone help me outu
[08:13] <ice> lol

[08:19] <wter> !nohup
[08:19] <ubotu> wter: Bugger all, I dunno.  So Gigabyte bv. ?
[08:19] <wter> whats nohup ?
[08:19] <ice> !dapper
[08:19] <ubotu> I heard dapper is the pre-release name for the next version of Ubuntu, the release will be called 6.04. It is due 20th April. It is software in development and as such may break.  join #ubuntu+1 to talk about it
[08:19] <ice> nvidia
[08:19] <ice> !nvidia
[08:19] <ubotu> I heard nvidia is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57368
[08:19] <MetaMorfoziS> nohup means nohangup
[08:19] <MetaMorfoziS> if you start an application from terminal
[08:19] <MetaMorfoziS> if you press ctrl c
[08:19] <ice> for dapper bot
[08:19] <MetaMorfoziS> app is stopped
[08:19] <ice> !dapper-nvidia
[08:19] <ubotu> What? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, ice
[08:19] <TonyB2006> 3hmm, is dapper the unstable distribution
[08:19] <wter> thnx :)
[08:19] <MetaMorfoziS> you can use nohup or the & symbol
[08:19] <ompaul> TonyB2006, dapper is very unstable
[08:19] <VarkOogTandePast> ok brb ice
[08:20] <ice> k
[08:20] <MetaMorfoziS> for ex: gedit &
[08:20] <ice> come on
[08:20] <ompaul> TonyB2006, are you trying to install dapper or 5.10?
[08:20] <MetaMorfoziS> if you ^^ you get back the console, and gedit runs...
[08:20] <linuxboyfriend> ice: when I gave the command sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4, it said that (I am) linuxboyfriend not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported? whats wrong?
[08:20] <TonyB2006> ompaul: 5.10
[08:20] <ice> all I want is to get my graphics card working is that too much to ask
[08:20] <ice> lol
[08:20] <wter> ok ok
[08:20] <ice> ????
[08:20] <nnacht> I have problem with my network card: it breaks everytime if I try to download a big file, say a cd-image. The NIC ist 8139
[08:20] <exxpert_> Im baaack!
[08:20] <ice> boy what are you using ?
[08:21] <bestadvocate> ice: i never got mine working right, accept in horray for a while.
[08:21] <ice> I got it working just fine in breezy
[08:21] <exxpert_> im now on my own ubuntu dapper installation,, got the monitor to work!,,
[08:21] <ice> even the chip set worked good
[08:21] <ice> exxpert
[08:21] <ice> have you got your card to work on it
[08:22] <ompaul> TonyB2006, so you have in place an AMD 64 and it freezes some of the way into the install, there are several possible causes of this, no definitive option, so first off there is a page with "boot options" which you can view by pressing F1 and then F5 while the machine is paused at the start of the boot process
[08:22] <VarkOogTandePast> dan neem ek an die is jou paste www.linuxforums.org/forum/coffee-lounge/55196-ubuntu-6-04-released-4-20-a.html
[08:22] <ompaul> !tell TonyB2006 about boot options
[08:22] <ice> yeah its a bitch to get the monitor to work
[08:22] <ompaul> !tell TonyB2006 about bootoptions
[08:22] <ice> especially if its not a fresh install
[08:22] <TonyB2006> the main thing is that i installed it once before a while ago
[08:22] <ice> thx vark

[08:27] <ice> yep
[08:27] <xtreon> Can anyone explain what YUM is?
[08:27] <Kyral> xtreon: Its Fedora's Package manager
[08:27] <ice> isn;t that suse
[08:27] <Kyral> Think Apt for RPM
[08:28] <Kyral> but we don't use it for obvious reasons :D
[08:28] <ice> yum is susse isn't
[08:28] <ice> it
[08:28] <xtreon> ubuntu is RPM?
[08:28] <ice> no
[08:28] <Kyral> xtreon: Ubuntu is Deb
[08:28] <ice> apt
[08:28] <TonyB2006> no
[08:28] <Kyral> xtreon: Apt-Get :D
[08:28] <TonyB2006> yes, apt
[08:28] <TonyB2006> or dpkg
[08:28] <ice> yep
[08:28] <Kyral> It's Debian Based so we get the mother of all Package Management :D
[08:28] <xtreon> Mandrake is RPM?  :S
[08:29] <rad4Christ> anyone?
[08:29] <ompaul> xtreon, language, and it is short for RedHat Package Manager
[08:29] <zF> !info RPM
[08:29] <_jason> rad4Christ: what filesystem?
[08:29] <ubotu> rpm: (Red Hat package manager), section admin, is optional. Version: 4.0.4-31ubuntu1 (breezy), Packaged size: 236 kB, Installed size: 1968 kB
[08:29] <exxpert> anyone know how to change resolution on startup screen?
[08:29] <rad4Christ> FAT32, is that the culprit?
[08:30] <irvin> rad4Christ: use sudo chmod
[08:30] <Kyral> RPM: Fedora, SuSE, RedHat(DUH!), Mandriva. Deb(Apt-Get): Debian, Kanotix, U/K/Xubuntu, Mepis, Knoppix, SymphonyOS
[08:30] <ompaul> exxpert, sudo dpk-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:30] <_jason> rad4Christ: maybe, never tried it... did you try with sudo?
[08:30] <edward0> Human doesn't show up in gnome-art application :(
[08:30] <xtreon> Kyral: thanks =)
[08:30] <Kyral> xtreon: thats just off the top of my head
[08:30] <VarkOogTandePast> good luck guys
[08:31] <exxpert> ompaul: is that really just the resloution of the startup?
[08:31] <rad4Christ> Yeah, I tried sudo.
[08:31] <xtreon> so where do i find info about YUM?
[08:31] <Kyral> xtreon: not here
[08:31] <Kyral> lol
[08:31] <xnull> how do I split files?
[08:31] <rad4Christ> I can go to System > Administration > Disks, highlight the drive, click browse, and I can do whatever I want.
[08:31] <irvin> edward0: the Human theme is installed by default
[08:31] <Kyral> xtreon: look on fedorawiki.org
[08:32] <xtreon> Kyral: ok i will.. thanks
[08:32] <exxpert> ompaul: you know then ubuntu is starting up and loads things..
[08:32] <rad4Christ> But if I go to it from PLaces, I can't to anything...
[08:32] <ompaul> exxpert ahh
[08:32] <hypnox> xnull: split
[08:32] <beerockxs> how can I make sure that the agpgart kernel module is loaded before the radeon one is?
[08:32] <ompaul> exxpert, let me look that one up I think you can do something with it
[08:33] <yorian> anyone knows how strange menu's in VLC, Audacity, xwine, xmms can appear?

[08:34] <Tedd> Hi. Does anyone know if there's 4-speaker-support for Linux?
[08:34] <rad4Christ> I've typed "sudo chown system_username /mnt/Server"
[08:34] <Tedd> I have four speakers and only two of them function.
[08:34] <yorian> alteroo: LOL, I mean this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=133469
[08:35] <yorian> eldad: System>Preferences>Keyboard?
[08:35] <eldad> Tedd: I'm not sure but I guess u can configure that using ALSA
[08:35] <rad4Christ> I get: chown: changing ownership of `/mnt/Server': Operation not permitted
[08:35] <yorian> if you're using gnome
[08:35] <ompaul> exxpert, you have to be able to, because the live CDs all offer different font sizes
[08:36] <alteroo> yorian: oh. so.. what's so weird about the menu?
[08:36] <exxpert> ompaul. Sure thing! when i installed, i got to choose between "VGA" and many other resolutions.. the first install i did when things died i got 1280x1024 in the whole install and startup,, then i messed it up and installed again and forgotten to choose 1280x1024, just VGA and now ots booting in 640x480
[08:36] <rad4Christ> Anyone have an idea?
[08:36] <yorian> alteroo: I attached some images in the topic :) it's hard to describe
[08:36] <exxpert> ompaul: wierd stuff:-D
[08:37] <alteroo> rad4Christ: have you tried putting sudo infront of the chown command?
[08:37] <alteroo> yorian: oh i see
[08:37] <modi> Hi, how can i increase font size in emacs?
[08:37] <rad4Christ> YEah
[08:37] <rad4Christ> alteroo, YEs
[08:37] <stian> Hey, I've got a big file I wanna put on a fat32 ext2 drive and I thought I'd use tar or similar to devide the file into several parts. How should the command look like? "tar -c someiso.iso" etc?
[08:37] <ompaul> exxpert, not a normal question, however for X that command I gave you works, well your asking and I know it must be possible I am just trying to find the syntax that impacts it - I can't even get a command yet - but hey it will come
[08:37] <Kyral> modi: M-x customize and look around
[08:37] <Tedd> eldad, I've been playing in ALSA forever but it hasn't helped
[08:37] <Kyral> That thing is huge...
[08:37] <alteroo> rad4Christ: and it still doesnt believe you?
[08:38] <alteroo> yorian: beats me
[08:38] <eldad> yorian: using Gnome... I couldn't figure out how to use the the combination chars like in XP (`+E -> )
[08:38] <rad4Christ> Yep, but I think I know why.
[08:38] <rad4Christ> It's FAT32
[08:38] <Tedd> Does anyone have a fully-functioning 4-speaker system?
[08:38] <alteroo> rad4Christ: you mean the drive is mounted readonly?
[08:38] <CaNsA> how do i install my gfx card?
[08:38] <yorian> eldad: I also have difficulties with that stuff, also in Windows
[08:38] <eldad> Tedd: sorry, don't know much...

[08:39] <Tedd> 'salright
[08:39] <exxpert> ompaul: I know..:-),,tricky,, thanks for helping me out..:-)
[08:39] <Tedd> Anybody else have a fully-funtioning 4-speaker system on Ubuntu?
[08:39] <alteroo> yorian: yup... that;s how they are
[08:39] <Tedd> I have a 4 speaker set with a subwoofer that came with the computer, but only the 2 speakers on ther right and subwoffer are working.
[08:39] <eldad> yorian: in XP it works out of the box (at least on my HP laptop)
[08:39] <CaNsA> actually my gfx card is installed
[08:39] <CaNsA> but it wont go to 1024x 768
[08:40] <eldad> yorian: have u got any idea how is that functionality called?
[08:40] <yorian> eldad: not with me :), but here in Linux the (`+E -> ) doesn't work, I'll look for it too :)
[08:40] <yorian> CaNsA: what type?

[08:44] <rad4Christ> I need to make it read/write for every user locally.
[08:44] <nickrud> CaNsA, you probably need to do the FixVideoResolution link on that page first to get the proper vertrefresh & horizsync lines into xorg.conf
[08:44] <refuze2looze> is there a log file X keeps which says the screen mode which it was running at?

[08:46] <ompaul> exxpert, if it was a dog it would have bitten us
[08:47] <ompaul> exxpert, on the development version it works like this press F3 right at the beginning if that impacts an already older and installed system I have no idea
[08:47] <Angel_Dex_> Is there anything in ubuntu that tells the CPU temp?
[08:47] <modi> OK, M-x customize, then I guess I have to choose "Faces" and then ?:(
[08:48] <exxpert> ompaul: you dont have a clue on how to get a wireless pakage of keyboard and mice to work?,, just to shutdown, plug in USB and startup and its working?!
[08:48] <refuze2looze> LjL-Dinner, thanks..
[08:48] <Tedd> Hmmm
[08:48] <exxpert> ompaul: on the dapper?
[08:48] <ompaul> exxpert, if it is correctly build it should but I don't have one to test
[08:48] <Tedd> There doesn't seem to be anything on the forums about my problem.
[08:48] <obscurite> Hey all. I've been using Ubuntu happly for a while, until I deleted my top panel as an experiment. Now I can't quite figure out how to get it back.
[08:48] <refuze2looze> and can i get xorg to display which screen mode it is currently running on?
[08:48] <ompaul> exxpert, shhh we don't talk about that here thats in #ubuntu+1 :)
[08:49] <exxpert> ompaul: then i should move!,, i use it..*schhh*
[08:49] <mzinz> Synaptics touchpad driver says I need a newer version of xserver-xfree86.  When I do apt-get install xserver-xfree86, it says I have the newest version... im stuck
[08:49] <mzinz> any ideas?
[08:49] <ompaul> exxpert, go there and meet your kindred spirits
[08:50] <obscurite> The desktop is a bit hard to use without any way to launch applications. Anyone have a good resource for figuring out how to get my top panel back? Or make my own panels?
[08:51] <nickrud> mzinz, you could try the xorg-driver-synaptics package, if you haven't already
[08:51] <Tedd> Can anybody reccomend an audio engine? Maybe that's it?
[08:51] <LjL> obscurite: under KDE, it's settings / desktop / panels. i can't imagine it would be too much different in gnome...?
[08:51] <mzinz> nickrud, i have..
[08:52] <ConfidentiaL> eldad : I didnt get that... Just write its name??? I have an empty file, and I have filled in the "code" for my remote desktop connection, and I want that to be a file I can run...
[08:52] <obscurite> LjL - Do you mean under the menus? I don't even have any menus anymore.
[08:52] <Matyas_za> Good night guys!
[08:52] <fek> does anybody have the behavoiur with kopete on breezy to, when you send a message through icq, it will crash?
[08:52] <nickrud> mzinz, then you might try checking for the xorg development files
[08:52] <LjL> obscurite: can you launch the control panel or something using the right mouse button on the desktop?
[08:53] <kyletxag> hey guys, i just installed wildfire, a jabber server on breezy, but I dont know how to make the program start as a service.  Wildfire came with a daemon called wildfired, but I dont know where to put it...  anyone?
[08:53] <CaNsA> when doing sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:53] <CaNsA> what chipset should i choose for a voodo 3?
[08:53] <nickrud> CaNsA, tdfx
[08:54] <CaNsA> jammin
[08:54] <obscurite> LjL - I can launch gnome-control-center but it has no panels options
[08:54] <mzinz> nickrud, ok
[08:54] <CaNsA> nickrud
[08:54] <CaNsA> video card bus identifyer
[08:54] <eldad> ConfidentiaL: I'm afraid I don't understand what r u trying to do...
[08:54] <nickrud> mzinz, if you don't have any, x-window-system-dev will get you *all* you need
[08:54] <nickrud> CaNsA, skip that, it should work automatically
[08:55] <CaNsA> kk
[08:55] <Makaraki> want to mount a hda1 patition with ntfs data (windows)
[08:55] <CaNsA> kernal frame buffer?
[08:55] <nickrud> CaNsA, I mean, use the default just about everywhere
[08:55] <CaNsA> kk
[08:55] <obscurite> C'mon you gnome experts - anyone know how I can get my top panel back after I "removed" it?
[08:55] <LjL> obscurite: dunno, not being a gnome user i don't really know these interface details...
[08:55] <Makaraki> Hi guys, grettings, I have a newbie question
[08:56] <nickrud> obscurite, right click the bottom panel (between the window list and window switcher) add new panel
[08:56] <obscurite> nickrud - damn, i coulda sworn I looked for something like that. teehee. thanks.
[08:56] <Makaraki> I edit the fstab with the next /dev/hda1       /media/win      ntfs    user,noauto,ro,nls=utf8,uid=1000  0   0
[08:56] <ubuntu_> obscurite: do you have the bottom panel left?
[08:56] <modi> Kyral, are you there?
[08:56] <obscurite> I managed to add a top panel
[08:56] <nickrud> obscurite, it's very hard to find the first time :)
[08:57] <mzinz> nickrud, its so weird.. i try to get the synaptics drivers and it tells me to check my repos because i dont have the newest version of xserver-xfree86
[08:57] <Makaraki> and I already created a directory
[08:57] <beerockxs> when will gnome remember panel placement correctly?
[08:57] <soundray> Looking for advice on compilation: I have a run-time critical application that compiles with gcc 3.4, but not with 4.0. I'd like a rough idea how difficult it is in general to port code to gcc 4. Anyone with any experience here?
[08:57] <Kyral> modi: I'm ttyping up notes
[08:57] <Kyral> is it critical?
[08:57] <ConfidentiaL> eldad : just make a file with contents I would like to run in the terminal when I click on it...
[08:57] <obscurite> THANKS LjL, nichrud, ubuntu_
[08:57] <modi> not really
[08:57] <LjL> Makaraki: and the problem is?
[08:58] <nickrud> mzinz, could you post the complete error from an apt-get run to pastebin?
[08:58] <Kyral> modi: Sorry, I really have to study...
[08:58] <Makaraki> LjL: it doesn't work
[08:58] <Mr> hey
[08:58] <LjL> soundray: i guess most of the times it's simply some stupid programming mistake that the programmers didn't notice... but on the other hand if it's a big application it might *base* itself on the old gcc behaviour
[08:59] <LjL> soundray: can't you just compile it with gcc 3 and be done with it?
[08:59] <mzinz> nickrud, ya
[08:59] <LjL> Makaraki: define "doesn't work", what happens when you mount it?
[08:59] <modi> Kyral, Good speed!
[09:00] <soundray> LjL, I could, but it's a memory-intensive thing (we chatted about it before) and I want the best available optimization for amd64.
[09:00] <mzinz> nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9060
[09:00] <LjL> soundray: how big is it, and how many dependencies it requires to compile? if it doesn't take ages to get it to compile, i'll give it a try
[09:01] <CaNsA> nickrud, cheers mate
[09:01] <NickGarvey> apt-get update is failing after I first installed ubuntu?
[09:01] <CaNsA> that works a treat
[09:01] <nickrud> CaNsA, yw
[09:01] <LjL> NickGarvey: failing like what?
[09:01] <NickGarvey> You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems.
[09:01] <esac> running flight-4 .. my alps touchpad acceleration and sensitivity is at its highest, yet it is still REALLY slow to move the mouse across the screen, any ideas ?
[09:01] <NickGarvey> Couldn't stat sources package list
[09:02] <eldad> ConfidentiaL: if I understand correctly u r trying to create some sort of a script - if so u should have the first line with the correct script language and where the interperter is loacated for example (for running a bash script):
[09:02] <_jason> NickGarvey: did you run apt-get update
[09:02] <arnoud> hi all
[09:02] <l0> .. Ihave  question guys...
[09:02] <NickGarvey> yes
[09:02] <soundray> LjL, code size is 94 MB. Its main dependency is libvtk.
[09:02] <eldad> ConfidentiaL: #! /bin/bash
[09:02] <nickrud> mzinz, what version of ubuntu are you using?
[09:02] <LjL> NickGarvey: perhaps it's a problem with the mirror. the US mirror seemed to have some problems some minutes ago
[09:02] <Makaraki> LjL: Firstly I typed mkdir /media/win and then I edit with sudo vim /etc/fstab and put in the last line /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs user,noauto,ro,uid=1000,nls=utf8 0 0 and also I reboot my machine and when i try to acces to win it doesn't show me anything
[09:02] <NickGarvey> thats what I get when I run apt-get update
[09:02] <mzinz> nickrud, breezy
[09:02] <NickGarvey> it was happening last night too LjL
[09:02] <ahlich> anyone can help me w (another) nvidia driver problem? no tutorials or How-to's have worked for me because my Ubuntu is not recognizing my video card...
[09:02] <LjL> soundray: ugh. big. well, what app is it anyway?
[09:02] <_jason> NickGarvey: and what did it do?  put errors and contents of /etc/apt/sources.list on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[09:02] <mzinz> nickrud, ?
[09:03] <l0> general question Iguess...     but.. why arn't things like.. make, and gcc installed by deafault? :|
[09:03] <LjL> Makaraki: try "sudo mount /media/win" and tell me what error it gives (but use the pastebin if it's longer than one line!)
[09:03] <NickGarvey> how would I do that if I don't have a gui?
[09:03] <NickGarvey> oh I know
[09:03] <NickGarvey> apt-get update > ~/error.txt
[09:03] <NickGarvey> ?
[09:03] <name> can anyone help me on setting up terminal
[09:03] <nm> name: what type of terminal?
[09:03] <Gotti> l0, who knows, but just install build-essential and they'll all be installed for you
[09:03] <we2by> hello
[09:03] <_jason> l0: you can install them with build-essential package, average users don't need to compile is the reasoning I believe
[09:03] <name> the terminal that you type commands stuff in
[09:03] <NickGarvey> nope didn't work
[09:03] <l0> gotti: well, I manually installed everything, because I didn't know any better :/
[09:03] <LjL> NickGarvey: even better,  apt-get update 2>&1 >~/error.txt
[09:03] <l0> build-essential eh...
[09:04] <soundray> LjL, it's a program that does registration with 3D images. I'm going to contact the original developer, but I'd like an idea first of how much of a burden I'd be putting on him.
[09:04] <we2by> why isn't there any info for the ubuntu test release on ubuntulinux.com?
[09:04] <eldad> ConfidentiaL: afterwards u should give it execution permissions...
[09:04] <l0> how can I find all these magic names for package groups?
[09:04] <NickGarvey> okie
[09:04] <arnoud> the time is getting near that windows is becoming my biggest fear
[09:04] <nickrud> mzinz, you need xorg-driver-synaptics I believe
[09:04] <l0> thanks jason/gotti
[09:04] <nickrud> mzinz, breezy uses xorg, xfree86 is depreciated
[09:04] <soundray> LjL, thanks for the kind offer btw.
[09:04] <Gotti> np l0
[09:04] <NickGarvey> it is only 7 lines in the file but the entire error is more than a screen long
[09:04] <nickrud> mzinz, you can check what you're using with xdpyinfo
[09:04] <mzinz> nickrud, hang on
[09:05] <l0> is there some 'list' of these 'package group' keywordss, like 'build-essentials' ?
[09:05] <Makaraki> Ljl: ejem ...sorry but I'm a newbie and also spanish what is pastebin?, no problem I will try
[09:05] <we2by> why isn't there any info for the ubuntu test release on ubuntulinux.com?
[09:05] <LjL> Makaraki: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[09:05] <mzinz> nickrud, well, all of the synaptics how-tos say to get xserver-xfree or whatever... and qsynaptics ( the synaptics settings prog ) says i dont have drivers install
[09:05] <NickGarvey> whoa
[09:05] <NickGarvey> whoa
[09:05] <obscurite> I am ashamed for having ever doubted gnome. Hehe
[09:06] <NickGarvey> no internet I guess?
[09:06] <yggdrasil__> ok guys im trying to make clean but i keep getting g++: no such file or directory
[09:06] <nickrud> mzinz, yeah, the switch to xorg came recently. The instructions should work for either
[09:06] <Makaraki> LjL: thnks
[09:06] <thegladiator> we seem to have big crows these days 711
[09:06] <eldad> yorian: regarding the chars comb - a possible solution is using unicode - ctrl+shift+unicode - ex: ctrl+shift+e7 ->
[09:06] <mzinz> nickrud, whats my next step..?
[09:06] <thegladiator> sorry crowd
[09:06] <nickrud> mzinz, try apt-get install xorg-driver-synaptics
[09:06] <NickGarvey> LjL: would the problem be no internet maybe?
[09:06] <eldad> yorian: not the best but a start
[09:06] <LjL> Makaraki: are you aware there is an #ubuntu-es channel? (i mean, you can stay here as long as you like of course, i'm just telling you so you know)
[09:06] <NickGarvey> yup that was it
[09:06] <NickGarvey> not sure why it didn't auto detect
[09:06] <LjL> NickGarvey: oh :)
[09:07] <NickGarvey> tried to ftp it over to this computer and suddenly it didn't work
[09:07] <NickGarvey> heh
[09:07] <NickGarvey> alright thanks
[09:07] <nickrud> mzinz, then read whatever's in /usr/share/doc/xserver-driver-synaptics
[09:07] <chrome-buntu> Guys, whats the best way to get totem to handle the usual codecs out there?
[09:07] <LjL> !tell chrome-buntu about w32codecs
[09:07] <nickrud> mzinz, er, /usr/share/doc/xorg-driver-synaptics
[09:07] <thegladiator> chrome-buntu, install totem-xine also besides what Ljl just told
[09:07] <_jason> chrome-buntu: w32codecs and totem-xine
[09:07] <NickGarvey> how would I make it autoconfig eth0 on boot then?
[09:07] <yggdrasil__> ok guys im trying to make clean but i keep getting g++: no such file or directory
[09:08] <NickGarvey> all other distros I have used did that automatically
[09:08] <nickrud> yggdrasil, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[09:08] <LjL> NickGarvey: well, edit /etc/network/interface i guess... but if you have DHCP, it should work by itself
[09:08] <soundray> LjL, so you're saying that in general, well-designed programs should be easy to port, correct?
[09:08] <chrome-buntu> thanks guys
[09:08] <linux_learner> is there a howto for upgrading the ubuntu kernel
[09:08] <NickGarvey> I do have dhcp, which is why I was confused
[09:08] <yggdrasil__> nickrud allready the newest version
[09:08] <LjL> soundray: i'd say so
[09:08] <linux_learner> are there any special tips, or does apt take care of it
[09:09] <LjL> NickGarvey: well, i would give it another chance (i.e. wait for next reboot) before i start to worry
[09:09] <dutch> hi linux_learner
[09:09] <esac> running flight-4 .. my alps touchpad acceleration and sensitivity is at its highest, yet it is still REALLY slow to move the mouse across the screen, any ideas ?
[09:09] <nickrud> yggdrasil, what are you making clean??
[09:09] <linux_learner> hi dutch
[09:09] <soundray> LjL, grazie.
[09:09] <yggdrasil__> nickrud vdr install
[09:09] <NickGarvey> LjL: the computer is going to be a server so it won't have a monitor, I want to be able to hit the button and have it start the ssh server so I can use it
[09:09] <LjL> soundray: prego :)
[09:09] <soundray> :0
[09:09] <soundray> :)
[09:09] <NickGarvey> LjL: some thing happened last night also, no internet on boot
[09:09] <yggdrasil__> nickrud if i type g++ i get cmd not found
[09:09] <dutch> linux_learner, yeah, just wasted a couple of hours trying to get an old webcam to work
[09:09] <LjL> NickGarvey: yeah, i've got a computer like that
[09:10] <linux_learner> ah ic
[09:10] <LjL> NickGarvey: does your IP actually change? cause if it doesn't, you could just hardcode it -- though the best thing would surely be to find out why DHCP isn't working
[09:10] <name> i can't find the terminal in ubuntu
[09:10] <yggdrasil__> ahh i think i got it ive got g++-4.0 in /usr/bin
[09:10] <nickrud> yggdrasil__, I get 'no input files'
[09:10] <linux_learner> so does apt take care of kernel upgrades?
[09:10] <Makaraki> LjL: mtab error, it sais that it is already mounted in mtab... I don't understand nothing now
[09:10] <NickGarvey> nope, it is  always <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:10] <dutch> linux_learner, and I'll bet if I try to install with the cd in this XP box, it'll say something about being too old :)
[09:10] <mzinz> nickrud, sorry was afk for a sec.  it says i have newest ver. when i apt-get... should i edit  /usr/share/doc/xorg-driver-synaptics
[09:10] <NickGarvey> this has happened on other computers using ubuntu
[09:10] <yggdrasil__> and i get not input files when i do g++-4.0
[09:10] <NickGarvey> I had damn small linux on the server before and it worked fine
[09:10] <LjL> Makaraki: hm, try "sudo umount /media/win" and then try again
[09:11] <nm> if it is a server, why are you using dhcp
[09:11] <nickrud> mzinz, no, read the docs in that dir, it should tell you what you need to do
[09:11] <NickGarvey> nm: because it needs a router to connect to the internet
[09:11] <linux_learner> well dutch sometimes ya need to recompile the kernel
[09:11] <mzinz> nickrud, ok
[09:11] <NickGarvey> nm: its a web/ftp/ssh server
[09:11] <linux_learner> but with hotplugging, it shouldnt be necissary
[09:11] <nm> nickgarvey: set up a default gateway?
[09:11] <nm> heh
[09:11] <yggdrasil__> nickrud i kinda just cheated and cp /usr/bin/g++-4.0 /usr/bin/g++ and it seems to have worked
[09:12] <LjL> NickGarvey: well, then you could probably just edit /etc/network/interfaces and add "iface eth0 inet static <newline> address <ip>"
[09:12] <dutch> linux_learner, that's way beyond my knowledge base
[09:12] <yggdrasil__> nickrud should i be worried aobut that down the road ?
[09:12] <LjL> NickGarvey: can you paste your current /etc/network/interfaces on the pastebin please
[09:12] <NickGarvey> ok
[09:12] <nickrud> yggdrasil__, probably :)
[09:12] <Gnumannen> !apt-get
[09:12] <ubotu> apt-get is, like, totally, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptGetHowto
[09:12] <yggdrasil__> nicrud hahah
[09:12] <_jason> yggdrasil__: installing build-essential should have created g++
[09:12] <yggdrasil__> hmmm
[09:12] <yggdrasil__> _jason ill remove and reinstall i guesse
[09:13] <_jason> yggdrasil__: apt-get install --reinstall build-essential
[09:13] <ConfidentiaL> ok, I had to disable my onboard sound to get past the loading hotplug subsystem. But now, after a while, it gets boring wothout sound. Is there any1 who knows how to fix it so that I can have my sound back?
[09:13] <linux_learner> dutch, hotplugging is the auto detection of hardware
[09:14] <yggdrasil__> _jason i still get cmd not found after i performed that
[09:14] <soundray> ConfidentiaL, throw some money at the problem, buy a USB sound card.
[09:14] <linux_learner> as to recompiling the kernel, just follow a howto
[09:14] <_jason> yggdrasil__: weird
[09:14] <NickGarvey> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9061
[09:14] <mzinz> nickrud, i can't find my config files for xorg-driver-synaptics... i just reinstalled it and still no.. and when i 'which xorg-driver-synaptics' i get nothing.
[09:14] <LjL> soundray: would you advise an USB card over a plain PCI one?
[09:14] <Burgwork> ConfidentiaL, likely hotplug is loading the wrong driver. You might need to blacklist a certain driver to get it to work
[09:14] <yggdrasil__> _jason it seems i have g++-4.0 though
[09:14] <eax> WHat do I need to enable in Ubuntu to get my firewall and Gaim to show in the system tray? ALl of a sudden, neither is being displayed and the settings to do so are active in the applications themselves?
[09:14] <nickrud> mzinz, of course. You need to edit xorg.conf to enable synaptics tablet.
[09:14] <Makaraki> LjL: now it works, the next steep is to try if rebooting the ubuntu, fstab should make the mount for me isn't it?
[09:14] <mzinz> nickrud, ohh nvm thanks
[09:15] <esac> running flight-4 .. my alps touchpad acceleration and sensitivity is at its highest, yet it is still REALLY slow to move the mouse across the screen, any ideas ?
[09:15] <dutch> linux_learner, i plugged the webcam in and re-booted...
[09:15] <LjL> Makaraki: it should in theory
[09:15] <dutch> lsusb shows the webcam there...
[09:15] <lnx_> is there anyway to give a user premanent root privledges?
[09:15] <NickGarvey> LjL: my router has dhcp enabled incase that wasn't obvious
[09:15] <linux_learner> and dutch ?
[09:15] <ConfidentiaL> Burgwork : Do you know how to do that?
[09:15] <Kyral> lnx_: no
[09:15] <soundray> LjL, I've had good (read: plug and play) experiences with USB sound. But if I knew that someone wasn't afraid of opening the case, I'd still suggest PCI over USB.
[09:15] <Kyral> lnx_: if there was we wouldn't ttell you
[09:15] <nickrud> mzinz, a useful tool is dpkg -L xorg-driver-synaptics (or any other package)
[09:15] <Makaraki> LjL: I will try and tnanks for your help
[09:15] <mzinz> nickrud, wheres the config file? i see files inside that dir but none of them say config
[09:15] <Burgwork> ConfidentiaL, sorry, no. I would google the make of your soundcard and ubuntu and see if you get a hit
[09:15] <Kyral> More people with Root power on a system is like more countries with the Bomb
[09:16] <soundray> ConfidentiaL, what sound chip is on your board?
[09:16] <nickrud> mzinz, no, the config file is /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Your howto should be adaptable to that file
[09:16] <lnx_> Kyral: do you know why when i am prompted for root password and i put it in, the application won't launch (i.e. wifi radar, users and groups, etc.)
[09:16] <nm> NickGarvey, I placed an amendment
[09:16] <nm> on that thread
[09:16] <nm> obviously you'll need to replace the address and gatewayt
[09:16] <Kyral> ubotu: tell lnx_ about RootSudo
[09:16] <mzinz> nickrud, shit i gtg ill be back in a min, thank you though
[09:16] <nm> *gateway
[09:16] <LjL> NickGarvey: well, your file looks fine to me. if you aren't the kind of guy who can't do without going to the root of the problem, then i'd simply make it use a static IP :)
[09:16] <we2by> why isn't there any info for the ubuntu test release on ubuntulinux.com?
[09:17] <Kyral> we2by: Because you are not supposed to use it yet?
[09:17] <_keroppi_> I'm trying to install various versions of the fglrx driver, (8.20, 8.21, 8.22) on various versions of the kernel, (2.6.10-5-386  2.6.11-1-686  2.6.12-9-686  2.6.15-14-686  2.6.15-15-686  2.6.15-16-686), and every time I either get a kernel panic in ohci_1394 or ehci_hdc, and when I remove those modules, it still doesn't work, with this log: http://pastebin.com/565544 -- it seems to be looking for all kinds of /dev/dri/card[0-255]  devices...
[09:17] <LjL> soundray: oh, ok :) well opening the case isn't that hard ;)
[09:17] <NickGarvey> alright, I'll do that for now, I'd like to find out whats wrong, but I'll use google for now
[09:17] <NickGarvey> thanks a lot
[09:17] <ConfidentiaL> soundray : Realtek i think...
[09:17] <Kyral> !dapper
[09:17] <ubotu> dapper is, like, totally, the pre-release name for the next version of Ubuntu, the release will be called 6.04. It is due 20th April. It is software in development and as such may break.  join #ubuntu+1 to talk about it
[09:17] <Burgwork> we2by, because it is not recommended for average use, but something could be done better
[09:17] <liskl> anyone know how to create & mount an iso image so you can write to it
[09:17] <_keroppi_> I am remembering to recompile the kernel module for each kernel version, and I am installing the driver with the ati installer.
[09:17] <soundray> ConfidentiaL, is it "high definition audio" or similar?
[09:17] <LjL> NickGarvey: well, one thing - does it *always* fail to get the address from DHCP, or it works sometimes?
[09:17] <Burgwork> _keroppi_, what are you trying to do?
[09:18] <_keroppi_> Burgwork: Get the driver to simply work
[09:18] <ConfidentiaL> soundray : what's that?
[09:18] <Burgwork> _keroppi_, which driver?
[09:18] <yggdrasil__> _jason well i just cp g++-4.0 g++ to get it working ... stupid but its all i can think of
[09:18] <_keroppi_> Burgwork: fglrx
[09:18] <Burgwork> _keroppi_, and wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto didn't work?
[09:18] <_keroppi_> Burgwork: Nope
[09:18] <Burgwork> _keroppi_, what card do you have?
[09:18] <thierry_> french ?
[09:19] <NickGarvey> it works sometimes, I used dhcpclient to connect
[09:19] <soundray> ConfidentiaL, it's a new audio thing. You would probably know if you had a card like that. We had a guy here recently who had similar trouble to yours, and his solution was blacklisting.
[09:19] <NickGarvey> apt-get update worked fine after
[09:19] <fek> this channel is useless
[09:19] <soundray> ConfidentiaL, s/card/soundchip/
[09:19] <obscurite> What's currently the best resource for upgrading your own (more recent) kernel? My notebook's suspend doesn't seem too happy with 2.6.12.
[09:19] <_keroppi_> Burgwork: Radeon 9600 (M10), it works perfectly in debian on kernel 2.6.12, 2.6.11 and 2.6.10
[09:19] <nm> nickgarvey: if your box is a server as you've said
[09:19] <nm> you should use static ip anyway
[09:19] <nm> easier for port forwarding
[09:19] <Burgwork> _keroppi_, I have exactly the 9600xt. What error are you getting?
[09:19] <LjL> NickGarvey: well my guess then is that your router probably implements DHCP in a way that the current version of the client doesn't like too much...
[09:20] <thierry_> french ?
[09:20] <ekp> hi
[09:20] <NickGarvey> yeah, but dhcp gives it the same ip everytime anyway
[09:20] <NickGarvey> alright
[09:20] <nickrud> yggdrasil__, I'd remove that file you copied, then create a soft link to bring your filesystem into compliance with standard policy
[09:20] <LjL> NickGarvey: (by the way, unrelated, but for a server setup, i would use Debian=
[09:20] <_keroppi_> Burgwork: They tend to vary, if they're not kernel panics.
[09:20] <NickGarvey> I'll just use static
[09:20] <NickGarvey> I tried debian before and it didn't work well
[09:20] <ekp> I am having a problem installing Cross Over office
[09:20] <djp> hi. can anyone tell me how i can go about viewing system messages under my e-mail client, evolution?
[09:20] <nm> don't use debian for servers
[09:20] <nm> heh
[09:20] <_keroppi_> Burgwork: Um, it's hard to remember exactly, but if you look at the xorg.log at this paste: http://pastebin.com/565544
[09:20] <amphi> !tell thierry_ about fr
[09:20] <soundray> ConfidentiaL, look, ubotu:
[09:20] <nm> gentoo or fedora core 4 is the way to go
[09:20] <liskl> anyone know how to create & mount an iso image so you can write data files  to it?

[09:20] <soundray> !forums 75181
[09:20] <NickGarvey> I'm not smart enough to compile gentoo yet
[09:20] <LjL> nm: aw, come on, debian is fine for servers
[09:20] <ubotu> Forums: Thread 75181 is: Kernel oops on FS Amilo M3438G - Ubuntu Forums
[09:21] <nm> just follow the instructions from the manual
[09:21] <Burgwork> _keroppi_, ok, too odd. You might want to ask on teh forums
[09:21] <ConfidentiaL> !tell me about soundchip

[09:21] <nm> ljl: i'm testing out ubuntu for kicks, and as a server as well
[09:21] <nm> but from what i've seen over the years
[09:21] <LjL> NickGarvey: well i don't think ubuntu will be too bad as a server anyway
[09:21] <amphi> LjL: debian is fine for desktop
[09:21] <nm> while debian has a decent packaging system
[09:21] <ConfidentiaL> !tell me about sound card
[09:21] <nm> the security updates are few and far between
[09:21] <LjL> amphi: i didn't say it wasn't, i just said it was fine for servers
[09:21] <nm> that just isn't good for servers
[09:21] <_keroppi_> Burgwork: I'm going to try again, and document exactly what happens
[09:21] <Wilson> We are the Berg.  You will be assimilated.  Resistance is futile.  :-)
[09:21] <ConfidentiaL> !tell me about soundcard
[09:21] <NickGarvey> well if it works it works distribution wise
[09:21] <fangorious> i have an lvm group with my / and swap partitions on it that i'd like to resize to make room for dapper
[09:21] <thierry_> merci amphi
[09:21] <ConfidentiaL> !tell me about sound
[09:22] <soundray> ConfidentiaL, look at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-75181.html ; it tells you about blacklisting as well as a similar prob.
[09:22] <nm> nickgarvey: perhaps, but with production servers simply 'work'ing isn't always enough
[09:22] <amphi> thierry_: de rien ;)
[09:22] <LjL> nm: uhm, honestly, i hadn't heard complains about debian's security before
[09:22] <nm> ljl: live under a rock? :)
[09:22] <NickGarvey> I'm a 15 year old messing around, not a big problem for me
[09:22] <soundray> ConfidentiaL, don't prod the bot like that btw, do a '/msg ubotu sound' or similar
[09:22] <ConfidentiaL> soundray : thx
[09:22] <NickGarvey> even if I was cracked not like I keep anything important on there
[09:22] <amphi> nm: are you aware of outstanding security issues in debian stable?
[09:23] <nm> amphi: i'm not running it at the moment, or interested
[09:23] <nm> see above
[09:23] <LjL> nm: perhaps, but among the things i've heard people say about debian, bad security is definitely not included... at least it wasn't until now
[09:23] <chrish01> python-dev package isnt downloading right from this server ... http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/python2.4/python2.4-dev_2.4.2-1_i386.deb
[09:23] <drcurl> WOW, what a difference 512 megs of RAM makes instead of 256, Ubuntu is much faster and snapier now :D
[09:23] <NickGarvey> LjL: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9063
[09:23] <soundray> NickGarvey, ever heard about zombie networks? You don't want to be part of one, even if you're just messing about.
[09:23] <NickGarvey> LjL: is that what it should be?
[09:23] <Burgwork> chrish01, please try archive.ubuntu.com. the us archive sometimes has issues
[09:23] <amphi> nm: I see nothing above *shrug*
[09:24] <nm> ljl: i'm not directly suggesting that the security is 'bad', but when vulnerabilities are released, debian has one of the longest wait times
[09:24] <nm> for patches
[09:24] <Burgwork> nm, this is not the place to discuss debian security, thanks
[09:24] <soundray> NickGarvey, add the netmask and gateway lines from nm's repost on pastebin.
[09:24] <chrish01> Burgwork: yea, just wanted to inform who ever i could
[09:24] <cowbud> can you share a printer with windows via cups without samba?
[09:24] <nm> burgwork: scroll up and pointlessly say that to others who were asking me questions
[09:24] <nm> thanks.
[09:25] <Burgwork> nm, sorry, didn't see them
[09:25] <NickGarvey> soundray: where is his repost?
[09:25] <soundray> NickGarvey, 9062
[09:25] <nm> cowbud: maybe with proprietary software, but windows talks SMB, and samba is what enables linux to 'talk' SMB
[09:25] <LjL> Nick: no, that's not enough, add a line saying "netmask <IP_ADDRESS>" and another "gateway your-router-ip"
[09:25] <nm> as it were
[09:25] <LjL> NickGarvey: that was for you
[09:25] <ekp> Burgwork: who in chat should I ask about a Cross Over Office installation issue
[09:25] <NickGarvey> alright, thank you
[09:25] <nysosym> HI there :D
[09:26] <NickGarvey> and change address from <IP_ADDRESS> to <IP_ADDRESS> right?
[09:26] <Burgwork> ekp, sorry, no idea
[09:26] <djp> can anyone tell me how i can go about viewing system messages with evolution?
[09:26] <nexus> hey, im having prom
[09:26] <nexus> /etc/wlan/shared: line 91: /etc/wlan/shared.*: No such file or directory
[09:26] <soundray> NickGarvey, not for the gateway, unless your server is also the gateway.
[09:26] <nysosym> are any developers from ubuntu here?
[09:27] <nexus> i get this error when starting wlan
[09:27] <nm> soundray: when i modified his pastebin, .150 was the address of the server in question
[09:27] <nm> nickgarvey: change <IP_ADDRESS> to the desired ip address of your server
[09:27] <nm> and <IP_ADDRESS> to your gateway (router)
[09:27] <NickGarvey> alright
[09:27] <NickGarvey> thanks
[09:28] <NickGarvey> lets try a reboot then
[09:28] <moritz_> i have a problem installing ubuntu 5.1 on a cebob notebook. After installation and first boot up system freezes straight before hw_random driver is loaded without error message. a likewise error is during bootup with live cd: freezes at hotplug load
[09:29] <moritz_> is there some connection
[09:29] <djp> is a log created anywhere, of an initial install?
[09:30] <moritz_> where does ubuntu place logs?
[09:30] <lakcaj> /var/log
[09:30] <soundray> moritz_, /var/log/ -- e.g. /var/log/syslog
[09:30] <moritz_> ok one moment, ill boot knoppix livecd to view log
[09:30] <soundray> moritz_, it could be an APIC related thing.
[09:31] <lakcaj> djp, try /var/log/installer?
[09:31] <nysosym> i user Gnome X-Chat is it possible to have colored Nicknames? sry for my terrible english ^^
[09:31] <whatwhat> hello
[09:31] <franky123> i've got a question about the desktops. i'm using regular ubuntu (gnome) but i was wondering what happened if i installed the kubuntu and xubuntu packages? someone told me that i can choose which one to use on the login screen if i have all 3 installed ... is that true?
[09:31] <Big`Hades> i fount this site
[09:31] <Big`Hades> ubuntu mirror
[09:31] <djp> lakcaj, thanks
[09:31] <Big`Hades> http://www.septy.web1000.com/index.htm
[09:32] <Big`Hades> but i don't know
[09:32] <Big`Hades> the version
[09:32] <soundray> franky123, that's the way I've got it set up here. No problems so far.
[09:32] <nm> franky123: i havn't used kubuntu, but normally that is the case, yes, if you have more than one window manager installed, your XDM/GDM screen will allow you to choose
[09:32] <soundray> franky123, the packages are called kubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop
[09:32] <onyx> morning..
[09:32] <franky123> nm, soundray: great, thanks.
[09:33] <eldad> yorian: in case u r still interested in the chars issue check out http://www.linuxgazette.com/node/238 (it worked for me)

[09:34] <djp> i used to use local delivery and point it to /var/mail/username or something like that under debian
[09:34] <soundray> djp, it depends on the mail client... but why?
[09:35] <djp> soundray, i wanted to be notified of any system messages. i am using evolution
[09:35] <moritz_> which log in var/log/installer could contain important information about instaallation problems
[09:36] <NickGarvey> static worked like a charm, thank a lot guys
[09:36] <nm> yes yes, no problem
[09:36] <nm> too bad dhcp isn't working
[09:36] <rambo3> how do i install bootsplash in ubuntu
[09:37] <soundray> djp, if it was possible in Debian, I'd say it is possible in Ubuntu.
[09:37] <soundray> djp, you could set up a cron job to email your syslog at regular intervals.

[09:42] <joanverde> i need to partition, mount and make a fs on a /dev/sda

[09:44] <nm> first
[09:45] <Gnumannen> Madpilot: The solution is just package away, but I can not remember which one.
[09:45] <Madpilot> Gnumannen: I don't know much about terminal fonts, just the desktop ones - sorry

[09:46] <Stork> is there any way to configure my sound (i/o port) setup on ubuntu?
[09:46] <nm> joanverde: use windows to format the partition then
[09:46] <nm> now that you've created it
[09:47] <joanverde> nm: windows has crashed
[09:47] <nm> ah
[09:47] <Stork> figures
[09:47] <soundray> Stork, the I/O port is usually something that the BIOS determines.
[09:47] <nm> soundray: on a PnP card that is certainly true
[09:47] <Stork> soundray, i remember there was a tool i used but i can't remember if that was for windows only
[09:47] <obsvuugj> !tell obsvuugj about blender
[09:47] <nm> Stork: otherwise, you can supply an i/o to use as a module option

[09:48] <nickrud> obscurite, kernel.org
[09:48] <joanverde> nm: made the  mke2fs -j /dev/sda1
[09:48] <Stork> lol
[09:48] <obscurite> Okay, kernel.org. Fine, but ... oh nevermind. :P I'll figure it out.
[09:48] <nm> joanverde: that creates an ext3 filesystem
[09:48] <joanverde> what kind of sys did I make?

[09:48] <obscurite> THANKS kyral, nickrud.

[09:50] <Scarborough> my keyboard sometimes stops working... anybody else that has that problem?
[09:50] <Madpilot> speyer: with apt-get or Synaptic? It probably means you left Synaptic running while you tried to use apt-get
[09:50] <nickrud> speyer, either another program is using whatever's locked, or you have a spurious lock. More info is needed

[09:54] <nm> err
[09:54] <nm> mkfs -t vfat
[09:54] <nm> sorry
[09:54] <joanverde> nm: ok
[09:55] <Malachi> Is it just me, or is the Linux version of Nvu a little buggy?
[09:55] <joanverde> nm: mkfs.ext2: invalid fragment size - at
[09:55] <Madpilot> Malachi: it's a WYSIWYG, aren't they all buggy? :P
[09:55] <joanverde> ok
[09:55] <andrea_> sasaasasasaas
[09:55] <nm> joanverde: try mkfs.vfat /dev/sda#
[09:56] <Malachi> Madpilot:Hm....
[09:56] <joanverde> nm :mkfs.vfat 2.11 (12 Mar 2005)

[09:56] <curley_sue> HELP - does anybody know how to start SKYPE as AWAY (automatically)?
[09:56] <andrea_> di cosa parlate?
[09:56] <nm> sorry, unmount it first
[09:56] <nm> hehe
[09:56] <andrea_> parlate solo di Ubuntu?
[09:56] <soundray> !it
[09:56] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[09:56] <andrea_> ok bye
[09:57] <joanverde> nm: hiw-to unmount?
[09:57] <joanverde> how
[09:57] <relachs> can you help me to re-install the Audio-Recorder? It does not work correctly anymore
[09:57] <nm> wow
[09:57] <hannje> umount
[09:57] <nm> joanverde: umount
[09:57] <speyer> any ideea why the sound on mplayer its interrupted   ?
[09:57] <joanverde> ok
[09:57] <joanverde> umount /dev/sda#
[09:57] <hannje> if you want to unmount a cdrom type eject
[09:57] <joanverde> nm: done
[09:57] <soundray> speyer, run mplayer -ao help and try different ao options (audio output)
[09:57] <nm> so try the mkfs.vfat again
[09:58] <yggdrasil__> does anyone here knwo about dfb++ on ubuntu ?
[09:58] <joanverde> nm: done, seemed to work, now I need to see it somehow
[09:58] <nm> joanverde: mount it again
[09:58] <soundray> curley_sue, timing out is not good enough?
[09:58] <Madpilot> !mount
[09:58] <joanverde> ok
[09:58] <ubotu> methinks mount is the command to add partitions to your filesystem - for full instructions see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingANewHardDrive For mounting windows partitions, see !windowsdrives or http://tinyurl.com/bly9f
[09:58] <joanverde> nm: on /mnt, /home ot whereever?
[09:58] <lakcaj> speyer, try with -ao alsa -vo xv
[09:59] <nm> joanverde: just make sure you're not mounting it on a directory you're already using
[09:59] <joanverde> nm: mounted on home
[09:59] <joanverde> ok
[09:59] <nm> mkdir /mnt/windows ; mount /dev/sda# /mnt/windows
[09:59] <nysosym> re
[09:59] <nm> might be a good idea
[09:59] <nm> after you umount /home
[09:59] <joanverde> nm: good
[09:59] <speyer> lakcaj it does use alsa but not xv its use X11 even if i tell mplayer to, no ideea why
[10:00] <curley_sue> soundray: I'm not sure I understand...
[10:01] <soundray> curley_sue, you can go to Tools-Options and set the time until it shows you as "Away".
[10:01] <joanverde> nm: mounted and ready
[10:01] <joanverde> how do I see it now?
[10:01] <nm> joanverde: what do you mean 'see' it?
[10:01] <nm> if it is mounted, you're seeing it
[10:01] <nm> at wherever you have it mounted
[10:01] <nm> if you mean list the contents, you can do that with 'ls'
[10:01] <nm> but since you've newly created it
[10:01] <joanverde> nm: in the gui
[10:01] <nm> there won't be much there ;)
[10:02] <rambo3> can someone post line from menu.lst after kernel : something like vesfb ~
[10:02] <nm> joanverde: use your favorite file manager program
[10:02] <franky123> joanverde: go to nautilus?
[10:02] <joanverde> is that part of gnome
[10:02] <relachs> has anyone experience with K3B?
[10:02] <soundray> relachs, a bit.
[10:02] <Madpilot> joanverde: Places menu --> Home - the app that launches is Nautilus
[10:02] <vlauzums> quick question: every time i switch wifi networks i have to restart to get it to work, is there a terminal command that refreshes my net settings or something like that?

[10:04] <relachs> soundray, first it said it needs cdrdao, so installed the package with success. Now it says this: http://pastebin.com/565641

[10:04] <speyer> does anyone know why my mplayer use x11 instead of xv ? even if i tell mplayer to use xv , when i play the file its still use x11 :(
[10:04] <soundray> curley_sue, it waits until you are inactive (ie. not using the mouse and keyboard)
[10:05] <relachs> in the "K3B Setup" i do not find anything related to the thing i need to fix
[10:05] <nickrud> speyer, try xdpyinfo | grep XVideo ; that will tell you if you at least have xv support
[10:05] <achew22_> will someone look at http://pastebin.com/565644 ?
[10:05] <soundray> relachs, are you on breezy?
[10:05] <relachs> soundray, yes
[10:06] <curley_sue> soundray: well, I wanted something that did not need me off the computer... thanx anyway
[10:06] <soundray> relachs, strange, I used to have to set cdrdao permissions, but never on breezy.
[10:06] <moonunit> hey ive got an error running update, 'the following problems were found on your system'

[10:14] <ubotu> Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, rambo3
[10:14] <soundray> relachs, try chmod u+s /usr/bin/cdrdao (note this is a security risk)
[10:14] <achew22_> gnomefreak, http://pastebin.com/565669 is my sources.list
[10:14] <gnomefreak> ty achew22_ im gonna look at it
[10:14] <lampshade> so is there now no package called w32codecs or...?
[10:14] <thepenguin> Im just wondering: Ubuntu will only let me choose three resolutions 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480, even though on my windows i have more. I installed the linux nvidia drivers but it didnt do anything. Anyone know whast my problem is?
[10:14] <Kyral> lampshade: not in our repos
[10:15] <soundray> relachs, you'll need sudo for it.
[10:15] <joanverde> how do I change the permissions so that I can move anything from one place to another?
[10:15] <joanverde> without interupting in GUI mode
[10:15] <thepenguin> anyone know anything?
[10:15] <soundray> ubotu, tell thepenguin about fixres
[10:15] <markus> Im having issues with setting the senstivity of my track pad
[10:16] <thepenguin> my graphics card is nvidia gforce fx 5200 with 128mb of ram
[10:16] <lampshade> Kyral, not even in all the extra ones?
[10:16] <rambo3> sudo mv
[10:16] <relachs> soundray, i will try to burn a cd then without changing anything
[10:16] <markus> has anyone got some ideas where I should be looking?
[10:16] <lampshade> Kyral, universe, multi, etc?
[10:16] <nickrud> speyer, still around?
[10:16] <Madpilot> joanverde: if you're talking about the stuff in / (root or 'filesystem'), you'll break your install if you mess with permissions that badly. You don't own that stuff, the system does.
[10:16] <Kyral> lampshade: none of them
[10:16] <speyer> nickrud yes
[10:16] <achew22_> what is fixres?
[10:16] <gnomefreak> achew22_: hold on ill give you one to replace yours.
[10:16] <soundray> !fixres
[10:16] <ubotu> Please read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[10:16] <achew22_> gnomefreak, thankyou so much
[10:16] <bjornkri> markus, this worked for me: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/11/15/fixing-my-alps-touchpad-with-the-synaptics-driver/
[10:16] <joanverde> Madpilot: so what shall I do if I want to move things from sdb1 to sda1?
[10:16] <hardstyl0r> gn8..
[10:16] <nickrud> speyer, you're sure that mplayer -vo xv <file> isn't using xvideo then?
[10:16] <Biggi> sup?
[10:17] <soundray> relachs, it's only unsafe if there are untrusted users on your system.
[10:17] <bjornkri> can't guarantee the same will for you, but do check it out :)
[10:17] <speyer> nickrud ill try it one more time
[10:17] <Madpilot> joanverde: that, you can change - just change the permissions on the mount points
[10:17] <markus> bjornkri: thanks
[10:17] <lampshade> Kyral, so is your only choice to build them from source or what?  What happened.  They used to be in the repos weren't they?
[10:17] <joanverde> Madpilot: and how do I do that? I'm not that skilled :p
[10:17] <sorush20> Biggi: not much just a fw other new members added to community
[10:17] <Biggi> :D
[10:17] <Biggi> nice
[10:18] <shenshei> hi, do you know if it's possible to install an ubuntu with a sata cd-rom
[10:18] <gnomefreak> achew22_: try this in place of yours
[10:18] <rewt_> how do i extract a .bin file?
[10:18] <gnomefreak> http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[10:18] <Madpilot> !tell joanverde about mount
[10:18] <rewt_> I mean .tar
[10:18] <Biggi> shenshei, try? :/
[10:18] <rewt_> not .bin
[10:18] <Yokalosh> how can i defrag my fat32 mp4 player in ubuntu?
[10:18] <Biggi> what irc clients do you guys use?
[10:18] <gnomefreak> rewt_: tar -xvfz file.tar.gz
[10:18] <shenshei> yep but it's for a friend and he don't want burn a disc for nothing
[10:18] <NCLife> i put this on etc/fstab "/dev/ipod /mnt/ipod vfat user,noauto,umask=000 0 0" and tryied with sudo mount dev/ipod but i got this error "rong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/ipod,
[10:18] <NCLife>  missing codepage or other error
[10:18] <NCLife> "
[10:19] <nickrud> speyer, I'm no expert on mplayer; the only way I know to check is x11 won't go full screen, xv does. That may be simplistic
[10:19] <Biggi> shenshei, oh no dont let him waste away $1 :O
[10:19] <treakath> hey all
[10:19] <yggdrasil__> so im trying ot compile up a source i got dfb++ i do ./configure then make ?
[10:19] <shenshei> :)
[10:19] <speyer> nickrud have a look here please http://pastebin.com/565688
[10:19] <nickrud> NChief, try -t vfat
[10:19] <Biggi> btw. anyone got a suggestion on how to make kde start at boot? ;|~
[10:19] <gnomefreak> yggdrasil__: yes
[10:19] <yggdrasil__> and then its done ?
[10:19] <bjornkri> no one else having problems with a slow internet connection on Ubuntu? It's noticably slower on my brand new Ubuntu installation than it was on the previous Windows installation...
[10:19] <Biggi> it wont start.. i have to log in and do "startx" each time :P
[10:19] <gnomefreak> yggdrasil__: than make install or checkinstall
[10:19] <nickrud> NChief, ignore me, I can't read well sometimes
[10:20] <bjornkri> I've no idea even where to start trying to fix it
[10:20] <speyer> nickrud looks like its using x11 thats what the output says, and also first time i run mplayer , it dint work in full screen mode , i had to add zoom=yes ;)
[10:20] <soundray> Yokalosh, back it up to hard disk, format, and write the files back. No better and safer way to defrag.
[10:20] <gnomefreak> yggdrasil__: i perfer checkinstall as do most people that i know of
[10:20] <yggdrasil__> gnome freak and how will i know it did it ?
[10:20] <rewt_> rewt@ubuntu:~$ tar -xvfz /home/rewt/Music/ Relient K-Two Lefts Dont Make A Right But Three Do.tar
[10:20] <rewt_> tar: z: Cannot open: No such file or directory
[10:20] <rewt_> tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[10:20] <rewt_> Got that
[10:20] <Yokalosh> soundray: it takes 5 hours each way to copy the files :(
[10:21] <gnomefreak> yggdrasil__: the reason for checkinstall is it checks the install ygg it will tell you weather it did it or not
[10:21] <NChief> nickrud: ok :D
[10:21] <yggdrasil__> gnomefreak just type checkinstall ?
[10:21] <soundray> Yokalosh, do it overnight, then.
[10:21] <Yokalosh> okily dokily
[10:21] <RichART1> how long does i usually take to install ubuntu?
[10:21] <relachs> soundray, ok, did it, i typed sudo before the chmod command but he did not ask me for a password, but now the message from K3B does not appear anymore
[10:21] <gnomefreak> rewt_: did you cd to where the tar file is?
[10:21] <sorush20> rewt_: why don't you use archive manger?
[10:21] <Yokalosh> hope this is done by the time i need to go to school!
[10:21] <Yokalosh> thnx soundray
[10:21] <gnomefreak> yggdrasil__: sudo apt-get install checkinstall first
[10:21] <yggdrasil__> yea got iti
[10:21] <yggdrasil__> hehe
[10:21] <gnomefreak> yggdrasil__: the command is sudo checkinstall
[10:22] <soundray> relachs, you had probably used sudo before and the passwd was still in memory. Anyway, I expect it'll work now.
[10:22] <Yokalosh> soundray: wait, isnt it the files that are on the drive that need to be defragmented in the first place?
[10:22] <nickrud> speyer, that is odd, I've never had mplayer not use xv when I told it to. I guess I'm in over my head here.
[10:22] <gnomefreak> achew22_: did that fix it?
[10:22] <soundray> Yokalosh, no, it's the arrangement of the files on the drive.
[10:22] <yggdrasil__> gnomefreak whoa i did something
[10:22] <achew22_> gnomefreak, sorry, I didn't see the link
[10:22] <eedge> Ack!
[10:22] <Yokalosh> soundray: okay thnx
[10:22] <gnomefreak> achew22_: http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[10:22] <soundray> Yokalosh, are you sure you need to defrag anyway?
[10:22] <gnomefreak> yggdrasil__: what did you do?
[10:22] <eedge> Problem, installed XP and I've killed grub
[10:23] <speyer> nickrud hell yeah thats` why im here :)
[10:23] <yggdrasil__> gnomefreak it did it and then put a pkg somwheres ?
[10:23] <nickrud> speyer, lol
[10:23] <eedge> trying to reinstall grub with grub-install and getting this error:
[10:23] <rewt_> rewt@ubuntu:~/Music$ tar -xvfz Relient\ K-Two\ Lefts\ Dont\ Make\ A\ Right\ But\ Three\ Do.tar
[10:23] <rewt_> tar: z: Cannot open: No such file or directory
[10:23] <rewt_> tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[10:23] <yggdrasil__> gnomefreak so now i just install the pkg it made ?
[10:23] <eedge> the file /boot/grub/stage1  was not read correctly.
[10:23] <gnomefreak> yggdrasil__: you should have a .deb package
[10:23] <gnomefreak> yggdrasil__: you shouldnt have to install it thats what checkinstall does
[10:23] <yggdrasil__> sudo dpkg-install .deb ?
[10:23] <relachs> soundray, ok, here is a screen anyway http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/7945/k3bsetup3sp.png
[10:23] <gnomefreak> yggdrasil__: what did you compile?
[10:24] <yggdrasil__> DFB++-0.9.22

[10:26] <gnomefreak> rewt_: is it a tar.gz or tar.bz?
[10:26] <NCLife> what could it be
[10:26] <relachs> anyone know how to set the console so it looks more like a hacker environment, like the background is transparent etc? lol..

[10:27] <LinuxJones> Stuar1: do you know how to install software in Ubuntu ?
[10:27] <Stuar1> Thanks LinuxJones. And one last thing. Where is the TCL stuff located?
[10:27] <Burgwork> relachs, in gnome-terminal, go to edit profile. Under the effects tab, choose transparent background
[10:27] <Angel_Dex> Hello why cant i mount my Floppy drive i get a UDI error

[10:28] <relachs> yea, ok i got it :)
[10:28] <paxmaster> is there a thing that save my session if i shutdown or reboot my computer I want to save it. If i login as my username the application would come up
[10:28] <rewt_> where does the music go to?
[10:28] <LinuxJones> Stuar1:  too many acronyms, I don't know what that stands for  :P
[10:28] <paxmaster> just like in kde
[10:28] <soundray> paxmaster, System-Preferences-Sessions
[10:28] <nickrud> paxmaster, system->prefs->session
[10:29] <soundray> nickrud, beat you :)
[10:29] <paxmaster> thanks
[10:29] <nickrud> soundray, not here ;P
[10:29] <gnomefreak> rewt_: its gonna extract it in same file that you are cd'ed into
[10:30] <gnomefreak> achew22_: did you try the new ones?
[10:30] <Angel_Dex> !firefox1.5
[10:30] <ubotu> You can use firefox 1.5 by following this wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion
[10:30] <nickrud> paxmaster, respawn for gnome apps under current session, and you can add apps to startup
[10:30] <Angel_Dex> <.<
[10:30] <Stuar1> LinuxJones. I am trying to get UnrealIRCD to work. I complied it and have it working fine within my home network. I am considering putting it on-line but was worried about Firewall... I will get a new one. I need TCL for Eggdrop and was wondering where it is located in Ubuntu. It is shown as being installed in Synapatic but it can not find it when I go to compile. TCL = Tool Command Language
[10:30] <achew22_> gnomefreak, http://pastebin.com/565669 will you look at that?
[10:31] <paxmaster> yeah I want my application to save such like the pids
[10:31] <LinuxJones> Stuar1: you can do whereis or locate tcl in a terminal
[10:31] <SamStone> a question about X Server in general: I have two PCs here, and I want to use a program, that runs on the first computer, on the second computer. I know that I have to change the $DISPLAY variable for this, but I don't know more about this. any ideas?
[10:31] <rad4Christ> Hi guys!
[10:31] <gnomefreak> achew22_: ive pasted a new sources.list for you 2 times would you please replace yours with the new one
[10:31] <ConfidentiaL> How do I get those skins to the terminal? I have just got the default one...
[10:31] <paxmaster> thanks I will check on it
[10:31] <achew22_> I did... gnomefreak
[10:32] <cradek> SamStone: ssh -X othermachine
[10:32] <gnomefreak> not what im looking at you didnt
[10:32] <cradek> SamStone: then just run your application
[10:32] <rad4Christ> Again, thanks alot for all the help today. I now have my first Linux based machine installed and running as the fileserver on our network!
[10:32] <LinuxJones> Stuar1: I have never used tcl, sorry I can't tell you exactly where to find it
[10:32] <nickrud> achew22_, you need to do apt-get update to read your new sources.list then
[10:32] <Stuar1> LinuxJones. How would I do that exactly... I am not any good with the terminal commands.
[10:32] <gnomefreak> the link you gave me is still the old one
[10:32] <relachs> what do i need to download in order to extract .RAR archives?
[10:32] <gnomefreak> !rar
[10:32] <ubotu> hmm... rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FileCompression
[10:32] <bjornkri> !rar
[10:32] <_jason> ubotu: tell relachs about rar
[10:32] <nickrud> relachs, rar-nonfree
[10:32] <bjornkri> ehe
[10:33] <_jason> unrar-nonfree you mean
[10:33] <joanverde> how should I interpet this: chgrp: changing group of `/mnt/windows': Operation not permitted
[10:33] <LinuxJones> Stuar1: jusut type whereis tcl or locate tcl and press enter
[10:33] <relachs> ok :D
[10:33] <Stuar1> LinuxJones. Thanks
[10:33] <cradek> !Xgl
[10:33] <rad4Christ> But I have two more things I need assistance with. 1: When I reboot, my second hard drive is unmounted, and I have to manually remount it. Is there a way to fix this?
[10:33] <ubotu> XGL on Ubuntu: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/XglHowto - Join #xgl-ubuntu for all the XGL fun on Ubuntu systems. It works ONLY on dapper. Pretty videos on http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/
[10:33] <soundray> relachs, wei doch jeder ;)
[10:33] <nickrud> relachs, whups, that one's gone in ubuntu breezy, sorry
[10:33] <LinuxJones> Stuar1: Have fun :)
[10:33] <_jason> rad4Christ: put it in fstab
[10:33] <Flosoft> is there a Synaptic clone for the console?
[10:33] <_jason> rad4Christ: what filesystem?
[10:33] <nickrud> Flosoft, aptitude
[10:33] <SamStone> cradek: the application says then: Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[10:33] <rad4Christ> 2: I need a script to place on the desktop to run rsync with selected parameters
[10:34] <rad4Christ> _jason, on 1: it's a ext2 FS.
[10:34] <nickrud> Flosoft, although, the clone concept is backwards
[10:34] <rad4Christ> Can you help me on how to add to fstab?
[10:34] <rad4Christ> !fstab
[10:34] <ubotu> the /etc/fstab  file lists all drives and partitions but can be easily configured automatically with the diskmounter file found here http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/diskmounter  See <partitions>.
[10:34] <resueman> anyone interested in helping me out with samba
[10:34] <achew22_> gnomefreak, will you look at the one I replaced it with? http://pastebin.com/565725
[10:34] <resueman> i dont know where to start
[10:34] <_jason> ubotu: tell rad4Christ about fstab
[10:34] <nm> resueman: the place to start is the documentation
[10:34] <soundray> resueman, start with ubotu's advice:
[10:34] <nickrud> !Xgl
[10:34] <ubotu> XGL on Ubuntu: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/XglHowto - Join #xgl-ubuntu for all the XGL fun on Ubuntu systems. It works ONLY on dapper. Pretty videos on http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/
[10:34] <nm> www.google.com
[10:35] <soundray> !tell resueman about samba
[10:35] <nm> there are several install guides
[10:35] <rad4Christ> Got it _jason
[10:35] <nickrud> hm, time for flight 4 then. bye.
[10:35] <rad4Christ> But what about 2?
[10:35] <rad4Christ> The script.
[10:35] <gnomefreak> achew22_: thats not the one i gave you  take the us. part out of them
[10:35] <rad4Christ> I need the equivalent to a .BAT file in WIndows
[10:35] <resueman> soun: thans
[10:35] <achew22_> gnomefreak, didn't you point me to the apt sources generator?
[10:35] <relachs> hmm do i only need to install unrar-nonfree if im on breezy?
[10:36] <gnomefreak> achew22_: after taking the us. out of them sudo apt-get update than try to isntall what youve been trying
[10:36] <gnomefreak> achew22_: i was posed to give you the list
[10:36] <bjornkri> rad4Christ, just make a textfile with the lines you want to execute, and then make the textfile executable
[10:36] <joanverde> how should I interpet this: chgrp: changing group of `/mnt/windows': Operation not permitted
[10:36] <bjornkri> kinda
[10:36] <gnomefreak> achew22_: hold on let me put it on pastebin
 eedge, are you using  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[10:37] <soundray> joanverde, you shouldn't. Just run 'sudo chgrp ...'
[10:37] <moritz_> some fast mirrors for dapper drake?
[10:37] <bjornkri> rad4Christ, try something like http://www.freeos.com/guides/lsst/
[10:37] <eedge> I think I've tried everything on that page now.
[10:37] <eedge> To no avail.
[10:37] <bjornkri> It's a fun read :P
[10:37] <joanverde> soundray: ok
[10:37] <joanverde> I'll try again
[10:37] <blueboy> is it possible to change default language ( english ) to some other language and how ? Language settings doesn't help me at all !!
[10:37] <gnomefreak> achew22_: http://pastebin.com/565732
[10:37] <soundray> joanverde, but I suspect it won't work anyway. Look into the umask mount option (man mount)
[10:38] <vincent_> hey
[10:38] <vincent_> guys can anyone help me with Ubuntu, total noob here. I need to connect through a wireless network. I can see my SSID in terminal but I cant find the right syntax to connect
[10:38] <bjornkri> !language
[10:38] <soundray> joanverde, you probably want umask=222 or similar.
[10:38] <ubotu> Huh? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, bjornkri
[10:38] <joanverde> soundray: you are correct, doesn't work
[10:38] <bjornkri> Worth a shot...
[10:38] <gnomefreak> i will brb need to reboot
[10:38] <joanverde> soundray: which is?
[10:38] <soundray> joanverde, listen to ubotu:
[10:38] <soundray> !tell joanverde about ntfs
[10:38] <rad4Christ> bjornkri, thanks, but I was hoping I could just tell someone my command line needs, and they could send me what to put in the file?
[10:39] <rad4Christ> I'm so strained mentally, I don't think I can attempt anymore today :P
[10:39] <joanverde> soundray: why should I know this, has this to do with permissions?
[10:39] <rad4Christ> This is what I need in Desktop Icon format: sudo rsync -ur --progress /media/FileServer /media/usbdisk
[10:40] <achew22_> gnomefreak, you there?
[10:40] <soundray> joanverde, umask is for making a mounted Windows filesystem read/writable for users.
[10:40] <rad4Christ> I created an .sh file with that in it, but it does nothing
[10:40] <joanverde> soundray: ok
[10:40] <LinuxJones> rad4Christ: can you put that command into a cron job to run every hour or whatever ?
[10:41] <joanverde> soundray: so I should try to make a umask command to make it write/readeble, actually my fs is fat32 which is already readeble by itself
[10:41] <_jason> rad4Christ: did you remember the shebang line?
[10:41] <rad4Christ> LinuxJones, nope, but I got it!
[10:41] <rad4Christ> Thanks!
[10:41] <rad4Christ> I just added a $ Backup Line, an echo line, and boom, it works.
[10:42] <Silivrenion> does ubuntu have lvm support during install?
[10:42] <rad4Christ> SO, after many headaches, frustrations, and annoyances, I got Linux running as a fileserver...
[10:42] <LjL> blueboy: never done that, but try "auto-apt search language-pack"
[10:42] <rad4Christ> Hope I don't have to do it again for a while.
[10:42] <bipolar> has anyone used xinerama with the open source radeon driver?
[10:42] <bipolar> I have a laptop and want to use the 2nd screen output.
[10:42] <soundray> joanverde, you should really read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountPartitions?action=show&redirect=AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions ; you'll know more than I do after that :)
[10:43] <blueboy> LjL, will do.. thanks
[10:43] <joanverde> soundray: reading
[10:43] <bipolar> or how about getting the ATI driver working in dapper :)
[10:43] <achew22_> can you get dapper on 1 cd
[10:43] <iBalo> bipolar: what about ranting ATI for that?
[10:44] <bipolar> iBalo: I kind of doubt they would care about an unreleased version of ubuntu. I'd rather use the open source one anyway.
[10:44] <dooglus> $ sudo ls
[10:44] <dooglus> sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Feb 21 22:36:29 2006
[10:44] <dooglus> ^-- what's that all about?
[10:44] <jetsaredim> where does apt store packages?
[10:45] <nuu> hey room
[10:45] <bipolar>  /var/cache/apt iirc
[10:45] <jetsaredim> I'm having trouble getting a package through apt, but I seem to be able to see it on the web
[10:45] <GTX> If you know stuff about eggdrops can you read, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=134223
[10:45] <dooglus> jetsaredim: /var/cache/apt/archives, yes
[10:45] <phiber_optic> where can change the color of my menus?
[10:45] <jetsaredim> dooglus: so can I just download a package and put it there and apt will find it
[10:45] <iBalo> jetsaredim: /var/cache/apt/archives
[10:45] <Silivrenion> anyone know if ubuntu supports lvm?
[10:45] <dooglus> jetsaredim: no
[10:45] <jetsaredim> dooglus: and assume it already downloaded it
[10:45] <nuu> new to linux and ubuntu was wondering if it's possible to remove kde to save some disk space or does it matter
[10:45] <dooglus> jetsaredim: use "sudo dpkg -i <file.deb>@
[10:45] <dooglus> jetsaredim: use "sudo dpkg -i <file.deb>"
[10:46] <afonit> does anyone know of a gui for the eps2png or eps2pdf command line utility?
[10:46] <stephan__> p
[10:46] <eedge> I'm still getting "The file/boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly errors", please help!
[10:46] <dooglus> afonit: gnome-terminal?
[10:46] <signifer123> where could i get a general linux troubleshooter?
[10:46] <phiber_optic> what is the package name for gnome art?
[10:46] <Karko> im first time using ubuntu, i just got ubuntu 5.10 installed into my PC and now when im starting my computer it loads gnome i guess and after that a black screen appeears and the whole computer freezes and i have to restart it thru the powerplug. Enyone oculd help me?
[10:46] <soundray> dooglus, is that date really in the future where you are? If not, run sudo /etc/init.d/ntpdate start
[10:46] <afonit> dooglus - haha
[10:46] <dooglus> soundray: it depends.
[10:47] <iBalo> eedge: you moved partitions, didn't you?
[10:47] <dooglus> soundray: on what timezone I set
[10:47] <eedge> I don't think i moved partitions?
[10:47] <dooglus> if I run "date" I see Tue Feb 21 21:47:15 UTC 2006
[10:47] <dooglus> but local time is 22:47
[10:47] <eedge> if I do find /boot/grub/stage1 its there.
[10:47] <eedge> I can see it!
[10:48] <iBalo> eedge: then you might have a flaky harddrive
[10:48] <eedge> Well, any suggestions?
[10:48] <eedge> lol
[10:48] <Silivrenion> I dont know how big my swap partition needs to be. I am doing a hard drive install through knoppix. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation/FromKnoppix
[10:48] <Silivrenion> can anyone help?
[10:48] <iBalo> eedge: are you in ubuntu now?
[10:48] <phiber_optic> what is the package name for gnome art?
[10:48] <eedge> yes, well, the live CD.
[10:48] <jetsaredim> dooglus: what do you make of this error? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9070
[10:49] <gnomefreak> yayyyyyyy its fixed :)
[10:49] <lusepuster> Hello - just did an upgrade to dapper. It seems I can't find the beagle search tool although I installed the beagle package. Am I missing something?
[10:49] <soundray> dooglus, so the date it moans about is in fact in the future if you assume that it refers to UTC.
[10:49] <soundray> ?
[10:49] <_jason> !dapper

[10:49] <ubotu> Wish I knew. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, alex_
[10:49] <gnomefreak> theres a dapper room?
[10:49] <_jason> alex_: stop and just ask your question
[10:50] <alex_> ok
[10:50] <_jason> gnomefreak: yep ompaul's idea, pretty good one
[10:50] <alex_> I messed up my xwindows
[10:50] <alex_> it wont start
[10:50] <_jason> at least I think it was his
[10:50] <dooglus> jetsaredim: can't you download the right package from http://packages.ubuntu.com/ ?
[10:50] <KRA> Anybody here with nvidia knowledge ?
[10:50] <alex_> how do i post my xorg.conf from terminal?
[10:50] <Karko> my computer freezes after the screen with brown loading stuff, all says OK and has ubuntu logo, after all is OK and the loading bar is full it goes to a black screen and tadaa, comp freezes
[10:50] <Karko> help me someone?
[10:50] <_jason> alex_: you need to give us more details.  What did you do to mess it up?  Do you get errors?
[10:50] <iBalo> eedge: then mount your ubuntu hd-partition and copy /boot/grub/directory over _EXCEPT_ _the_ _menu.lst_
[10:50] <jetsaredim> I downloaded that from the mirror listed on the kde3.5.1 page
[10:50] <dooglus> soundray: yes, if it's referring to UTC, then it's in the future
[10:50] <gnomefreak> ty im checking it out :)
[10:50] <alex_> i installed fglrx drivers
[10:50] <jetsaredim> dooglus: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-351.php
[10:51] <alex_> :(
[10:51] <soundray> dooglus, 'touch /tmp/reference', then set the system time two hours ahead, then run 'find / -newer /tmp/reference -print0 | xargs touch', then go back to proper time.
[10:51] <eedge> iBalo, where would I copy it to?
[10:51] <alex_> i think my xorf.conf is looking for the wrong drivers
[10:51] <alex_> i tell you what
[10:51] <soundray> dooglus, sorry, xargs -0 touch
[10:51] <alex_> actually
[10:51] <alex_> hmm
[10:51] <KRA> Anybody here with nvidia knowledge ?
[10:51] <dooglus> jetsaredim: I use GNOME
[10:51] <jetsaredim> dooglus: yea i figured
[10:51] <iBalo> eedge: whats your ubuntu partition?
[10:51] <alex_> ?
[10:51] <eedge> hda4
[10:51] <_jason> alex_: please don't use enter as punctuation, it makes it difficult to follow what you are saying
[10:51] <joanverde> soundray: the diskmounter said this to me: Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table
[10:51] <soundray> KRA, only nvidia has nvidia knowledge, and even that is scarce apparently.
[10:52] <joanverde> what's that about
[10:52] <jetsaredim> jetsaredim: but I figured that someone here might be able to explain the apt errors i'm getting
[10:52] <alex_> ok sorry
[10:52] <soundray> joanverde, Mac disk?
[10:52] <eedge> iBalo, hda4
[10:52] <dooglus> soundray: what would that do?
[10:52] <KRA> soundray, funny, you have any experience though ?
[10:52] <joanverde> soundray: yes
[10:52] <dooglus> soundray: looks like it would find all the files with a date in the future, and give them a different date in the future?
[10:52] <soundray> dooglus, good question. I made a mistake. Give me a minute...
[10:52] <iBalo> eedge: so 'sudo mount /dev/hda4 /mnt'
[10:53] <eedge> yes... I've done that.
[10:53] <fangorious> lvreduce man page says to resize any fs in the lv first, but doesn't give any hints how to do that
[10:53] <dooglus> soundray: I think your instructions would work if you left out the @set system time to the future@ bit
[10:53] <alex_> well what i did is i was trying to install my ATI card drivers and it wasnt working so i installed the drivers from the packages (fglrx) and rebooted, and now xserver wont start at all, please say you can help ...
[10:53] <dooglus> oh, and how do I set the keyboard in ubuntu?  I want double-quote on shift-2, not @
[10:53] <dooglus> is there a package to dpkg-reconfigure?
[10:53] <soundray> dooglus, no, it would refuse to change the date on a file that has a future timestamp.
[10:53] <phiber_optic> does anybody know how to change the color of my menus ?
[10:54] <alex_> _jason thanks if you can help, i just installed ubuntu over windows!
[10:54] <eedge> iBalo, i've done that.
[10:54] <eedge> How else would I be accessing it!
[10:54] <jonathan_> hello, could someone explain me how to run "bochs", an emulator, under ubuntu?
[10:54] <iBalo> eedge: what does 'ls /mnt/boot/grub' yield?
[10:54] <soundray> dooglus, modify the above command from the pipe: '| xargs -0 touch -r /tmp/reference'
[10:54] <lampshade> phiber_optic,   interesting name
[10:54] <gnomefreak> jonathan_: try interminal type bochs
[10:54] <phiber_optic> thanx lampshade
[10:54] <soundray> dooglus, that would give it a stamp to match the reference file.
[10:55] <_jason> alex_: try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, see if that gives you X back
[10:55] <lusepuster> _jason: Sorry I got off-topic... I've joined ubuntu+1.
[10:55] <dooglus> soundray: I managed to delete a large chunk of my root partition earlier today.  I'm trying to recover from that...
[10:55] <alex_> ok
[10:55] <alex_> _jason: shall i accept the defaults?
[10:55] <lampshade> is the only method now for the w32codecs to install them by source?
[10:55] <NickGarvey> where is my init script?
[10:55] <alex_> i tried that before and it messed up
[10:55] <joanverde> soundray, you know what that means? it's a mac drive... the script can't manage mac?
[10:55] <_jason> lusepuster: no need to apologize, just letting you know of the new channel
[10:55] <soundray> dooglus, or maybe it's  '| xargs -0 touch -r=/tmp/reference' (I haven't tried this)
[10:55] <_jason> alex_: sure
[10:55] <soundray> joanverde, apparently.
[10:55] <mamefan> Non-technical question:  How does ubuntu make money?
[10:55] <phiber_optic> thanx lampshade
[10:55] <phiber_optic> does anybody know how to change the color of my menus ?
[10:56] <alex_> ok
[10:56] <alex_> brb
[10:56] <PuMpErNiCkLe> mamefan: Support, enterprise deployment fees, MarkS...
[10:56] <soundray> mamefan, at present it doesn't
[10:56] <jonathan_> thanks gnome freaks
[10:56] <jesseman_> mamefan, eventually they will make $$$ thru service subscriptions from large enterprise deployments
[10:56] <joanverde> soundray: I'll try a reboot
[10:56] <fangorious> i used to have a separate / and /boot partition, I booted off the dapper live cd, mounted both under /mnt, copied /mnt/boot/* to /mnt/root/boot, edited /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst to change the partition numbers, took the /boot partition out of /etc/fstab and rebooted. that worked
[10:56] <lampshade> phiber_optic, which menus?  You can change Gnome's overall themes and also mess with individual menus and things.  I mostly have mine set to be transparent
[10:56] <alex_> exit
[10:56] <alex_> quit
[10:56] <dooglus> which package is 'man' in?
[10:56] <soundray> joanverde, it won't help I'm afraid.
[10:56] <phiber_optic> lampshade, yeah I want something like that
[10:56] <bjornkri> what's the apt-command to search for a package?
[10:57] <lampshade> apt-cache search package
[10:57] <dooglus> bjornkri: apt-cache search
[10:57] <bjornkri> thanks
[10:57] <iBalo> bjornkri: apt-cache search
