[17:41] <ikonia> FullMon-T: your not listening
[17:41] <StrawberryAngel> xchat works for me
[17:41] <DoXiD> whatpulse, any one have a good substitute for it?
[17:41] <FullMon-T> ikonia: I'm so confused.
[17:41] <Kuropon> xchat sucks for xdcc.. it's screwing up something
[17:41] <Ein_> hi... can someone give me link to download Ubuntu 7.10 Live CD?
[17:41] <nickrud> Kuropon, you might like irssi then, it's a terminal app but very capable
[17:42] <eckesicle> FullMon-T, Okay. If you are still confused here's what you can do
[17:42] <nickrud> Ein_, releases.ubuntu.com/7.10
[17:42] <eckesicle> FullMon-T, Type sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[17:42] <Kuropon> nickrud, I pretty bad with linux >> is it easy to use

[17:42] <eckesicle> FullMon-T, Add a # before the line we added (we will comment it out)
[17:42] <nickrud> Kuropon, well, you do have to memorize a lot of commands
[17:42] <eckesicle> FullMon-T, then follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions#head-c067eb7e3cd4107cc08cdf30a9e1aed8adb02971

[17:43] <flyingfree> encountering some problems with wine as a new user
[17:43] <flyingfree> looking for some help
[17:43] <flyingfree> running xubuntu
[17:44] <debiani386> whats wine doing flying?
[17:44] <debiani386> is it loading atleast?
[17:44] <flyingfree> 192 MB ram pII 500 mHZ
[17:44] <debiani386> like can you get into wine cfg or winefile ?
[17:44] <leo_> heeiiii..someone ? :(
[17:45] <debiani386> can anybody see me?
[17:45] <GekkoAce> yes
[17:45] <bqmassey> how the hell do i stop ubuntu from automatically connecting to a particular wifi router?
[17:45]  * nickrud looks away from debian these days
[17:45] <bqmassey> .. i want it to connect to a specific one, but it always defaults to the one i dont want
[17:45] <flyingfree> hello debaini386
[17:45] <debiani386> <<my version of gaim seems a bit glitchy :(
[17:45] <debiani386> . o (using the gaim from the repo)
[17:46] <nickrud> debiani386, gaim is useless for irc , try a better client
[17:46] <debiani386> flying >> can you atleast get into winefile?
[17:46] <GekkoAce> Gaim stinks. If you can get it, use mIRC
[17:46] <debiani386> what is a good irc client nick?
[17:46] <debiani386> ive used konversation for a long time
[17:46] <debiani386> and gaim
[17:46] <debiani386> but nothing else
[17:46] <bqmassey> how the hell do i stop ubuntu from automatically connecting to a particular wifi router?
[17:46] <bqmassey> .. i want it to connect to a specific one, but it always defaults to the one i dont want
[17:47] <asdf_12> hi all
[17:47] <leo_> CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW CAN I DISABLE A PROCESS BEFORE INSTALLING?
[17:47] <debiani386> bq >> what i used to do ws disable the wireless network in ubuntu's network manager, then use wlassistant
[17:47] <debiani386> to connect to teh network
[17:47] <debiani386> havent had one problem yet
[17:47] <redspike> Hi all, i have a problem with 6.0.6 LTS when i mount my fileserver its something wird with the premissions :(  if i open i file with vi and edit it it says i dont have write access but if i force with :wq! it writs it, i dint have this problem with 7.10 .. any one know what it can be?
[17:47] <flyingfree> did I come in in the midfdle of one of those new server jumps?
[17:47] <FullMon-T> eckesicle: Guide failed, still getting the original error message.
[17:48] <bqmassey> i'll try that, thanks debiani386
[17:48] <nickrud> leo_, you don't have to yell, if someone knows the answer they will say so
[17:48] <flyingfree> lookng for a little help with wine on an xubuntu dessktop with 196 ram 500 mhz
[17:48] <debiani386> bq >> if that doesnt work, tell ubuntus wireless network manager to connect to some random network like "aa" or someting then use wlasistant to get onto the router
[17:48] <leo_> i am not yelling...had a brick on my shift key
[17:48] <leo_> :)
[17:48] <Synx_hm> What ever i place in the input devices 'synaptic touchpad' section of my xorg.conf is not being used, ive tried to turn on VertTwoFingerScroll and even tried turning off VertEdgeScroll but nothing is happening
[17:48] <nickrud> leo_, and have you run the disk check utility on the startup screen
[17:49] <debiani386> i dont like ubuntus wireless manager, it seems extremely glitchy
[17:49] <naknomik> I want to reset all the desktop configuration for a user to default state without losing any data in the home directory, how do I do it?
[17:49] <bqmassey> debiani386:  yeah...  and it's far too basic if you ask me
[17:49] <GekkoAce> Ok, everyone else is just throwing out their questions so here is my question: Last time I installed Ubunto there wasn't support for the wireless cards that come pre-installed on HP notebooks. Have they added that support yet?
[17:49] <leo_> no...has no connection with what i wanna do
[17:49] <BeBoo> Can anyone help me with a yaboot issue with my PowerMac G5? I installed it and when it restarted, it said it was loading stage 2 and it flashes the mac symbol and a question mark.
[17:49] <debiani386> gekko >> have you tried ndiswrapper?
[17:50] <nickrud> naknomik, log out, go to alt-ctl-f1 , log in, sudo killall gconf2-d , rm -r  ~/.gconf  ctl-alt-f7 , log back in
[17:50] <Peaker> Will a circular reference of hardlinks leak, as it uses refcounts?
[17:50] <Synx_hm> GekkoAce: if its an IPW2200 yes, im am on my HP dv4000 right now via wifi
[17:50] <flyingfree> I tired wine and wine cfg and both gave me an error about not being able to create the wine directory
[17:50] <debiani386> gekko >> since hp also uses hpux, they probably have a unix module somewhere on their site
[17:50] <GekkoAce> no, I have not installed ubunto in a while. I really liked it, but I needed wifi. it was a year or more ago
[17:50] <flyingfree> wine is not listed anywhere in the applications tab of the taskbar
[17:50] <naknomik> nickrud: that will take care of all gnome application defaults too?
[17:50] <debiani386> fly >> are you running it as regular user or as sudo?
[17:50] <flyingfree> devbian I can
[17:50] <debiani386> bbl,, im gonna change my client
[17:50] <FullMon-T> eckesicle: getting a new error message: fuse: failed to access mountpoint /media/Vagina040Gentium: No such file or directory
[17:51] <flyingfree> dont know yet
[17:51] <flyingfree> debian
[17:51] <Synx_hm> GekkoAce: boot up the live cd and see if it works, if not then ask back in here what special is needed, but for me mine worked right out of the box, (but yes a year or so ago IPW2200 was a pain in the butt to get working for me in gentoo)
[17:51] <robdeman> folks I manually insatlled postfix and dovecot -- how can I setup mail aliases and stuff?
[17:51] <naknomik> nickrud: I also have some KDE packages installed, how do I take care of them?
[17:51] <chahibi> I need to quickly help a friend
[17:51] <flyingfree> debian I dont know if I can get into wine file but I can see you
[17:51] <nickrud> naknomik, nearly everything, if you really want to drop all (like rhythmbox's database, any menu's you modified, etc)  rm .local .config .gnome2 .gnome .gnome2_private
[17:51] <lassesandberg43> im trying to set up a key binding in compizconfig settings manager to mousebutton 1 and 2 at same time.. but it wont accept that? it takes "Button1", "<Control>Button1". but it wont take both Button1 and 2 in same line ?
[17:51] <chahibi> I need the command to launch the language switcher
[17:52] <chahibi> Can anyone give me the command name to launch the language switcher?
[17:52] <NelsonUWP> can someone tell me the best way to dual boot xp and gutsy?
[17:52] <nickrud> naknomik, don't know kde, you can ask on #kubuntu for that
[17:52] <NelsonUWP> can I do it by installing gutsy and then creating a partition?
[17:52] <Javid> !install > NelsonUWP
[17:52] <naknomik> nickrud: thanks.
[17:52] <madmike> chahibi, Gnome or KDE?

[17:58] <eckesicle_> Hey, how well does win xp run on vmware? Is there a big performance hit?

[17:59] <madmike> eckesicle, the slowdown is hardly noticable on vbox.. shoudl be similar on VMware
[17:59] <flyingfree> debian the command wine reutrns the little three line blurb on comand line usage of wine
[17:59] <scguy318> flyingfree: not really a GUI, you do wine nameofexe.exe
[17:59] <madmike> eckesicle, you should hav enohg RAM though
[17:59] <flyingfree> not that I am aware of the directory wiht the prgoram I wnat is on my desktop
[18:00] <eckesicle_> madmike, I have 4G so way enough.

[18:03] <ijn> ok
[18:03] <debian> spleen, unless it doess something different on another os, yes its normal
[18:03] <ikonia> ijn: why don't you ask the question
[18:03] <ijn> ok
[18:03] <debian> spleen>. ofcoarse you should check your laptop tempurature
[18:03] <Spl33n> ikonia: acpi -b gives me 50 degrees C? What do you think?
[18:03] <eckesicle_> !anyone | ijn
[18:03] <ubotu> ijn: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[18:04] <debian> spleen >> as ubuntu may be glithcing
[18:04] <madmike> ijn, what does WICD stand for?
[18:04] <debian> glitching**
[18:04] <ikonia> Spl33n: is that normal for your laptop
[18:04] <Oli``> Spl33n: whack a temperature monitor on your panel (right click panel > add > drag on a temperature sensor)
[18:04] <ijn> can't connect to my wirelees protected wpa connection via wicd
[18:04] <ijn> it's like NM
[18:04] <ijn> network manager
[18:04] <eckesicle_> Don't EVER buy a Snicker Almond. Terrible. Just terrible
[18:05] <ikonia> ijn: wicd doesn't appear to be in the ubuntu repo's
[18:05] <eckesicle_> They contain nuts the size of well nuts
[18:05] <madmike> ijn, just a guess... did you try to switch on SID Broadcast? Sometimes this helps
[18:05] <Spl33n> Oli``: ok I'll try that, ikonia: I am not sure if 50C is normal?
[18:05] <ijn> what is sid broadkast
[18:05] <ijn> ?
[18:05] <ikonia> ijn: broadcase your network name
[18:05] <ikonia> ijn: wicd doesn't appear to be in the ubuntu repo's where did you get it
[18:05] <madmike> its an potion on your router. This will announce to Wifi adapters that there is a router to connect to
[18:06] <ijn> http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/Hardware/DispositiviSenzaFili/Wicd
[18:06] <madmike> potion -> option

[18:06] <madmike> :))
[18:06] <guardian> hi, i have an old P4 that runs windows with an onboard promise 376 raid controller. the controller requires a windows driver to work. i installed ubuntu on this box as well. will linux software raid 1 somehow damage the raid 1 "constructed" by the promise 376 windows driver ??? for the moment i just disabled access to those discs
[18:07] <ijn> I installed it but I works only
[18:07] <Eyemean> hi would there be much of a perfomance difference between a 1.6GHz chip and a 2.4gHz chip?
[18:07] <ijn> on my nebghours wireless
[18:07] <toni_> can i resize a ntfs partition from ubuntu?
[18:07] <ikonia> guardian: fakeraid is not a wise choice on any linux platform
[18:07] <eckesicle_> Spl33n, i think there was a bug on this. The fix was called something like 99 hdd spin.sh
[18:07] <ijn> which is not protected
[18:07] <eckesicle_> let me see if i can find it.
[18:07] <ikonia> guardian: anything you do to that disk in windows will cause issues for the windows fake raid
[18:07] <ijn> so no pass
[18:07] <chazco> Why does Gusty install nearly 150 updates after installation? Is there a way to get an updated CD?
[18:07] <guardian> ikonia: even for RAID 1 ?
[18:07] <ikonia> ijn: I don't understand where you got wicd from as it's not in the repo
[18:08] <ikonia> guardian: even for raid 1
[18:08] <sandr-> !virtualdub
[18:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about virtualdub - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:08] <guardian> :/
[18:08] <eckesicle_> Does this seem like it: https://launchpad.net/bug59695.html
[18:08] <sandr-> Anyone know something that can replace virtualdub?
[18:08] <sayers> My nvidia card worked with my old computer and works here except it will not use the NVIDIA driver
[18:08] <ijn> http://wicd.sourceforge.net/
[18:08] <guardian> however on my windows, it's also software raid ... i doubt the promise controller accelerates or does anything useful
[18:08] <sandr-> I want to cut/edit re-encode video
[18:08] <ikonia> ijn: then this is nothing to do with ubuntu support as it's not an ubuntu packaged/supported product
[18:08] <phosphoricx> How can figure out which program is using module snd_ice1724 and stopping me from removing it with error "ERROR: Module snd_ice1724 is in use?"
[18:08] <madmike> sandr-, virtualdub does a lot of things.. what are you trying to do with the replacement?
[18:09] <Yodude> can someone help me install ubuntu on an old laptop ?
[18:09] <ikonia> phosphoricx: your sound card
[18:09] <ikonia> Yodude: if you ask a question, maybe
[18:09] <sandr-> reencode video, take fragments from a big video and thus create new video ..;
[18:09] <Spl33n> eckesicle_: Do you mean the laptop cooling fan spinning or of hard drive spinning?
[18:09] <flyingfree> sorry all had a pro lem with the t key on my keyboard for a second there
[18:10] <phosphoricx> ikonia: how do I stop by sound card from using snd_ice1724 so I can unload/reload it?
[18:10] <ijn> ok for wicd
[18:10] <Ayabara> I run Ubuntu Gutsy with Compiz, and from time to time my laptop freezes _totally_. I have to restart using the power button. Anyone heard of something similar?
[18:10] <madmike> sandr-, I invested a lot of time into mencoder... it is pretty powerfull and sometimes the code has regressions from time to time, but for me it was worth it... i reencoded a lot of my DVD-Collection into a Dreamcast acceptable format
[18:10] <ikonia> phosphoricx: while alsa is running I doubt you'll be able to
[18:10] <guardian> ikonia: thx for the reply
[18:10] <bullgard4> Why does Synaptic not provide a linux-phc-0.3 (Processor Hardware Control) package? https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=161063
[18:10] <ijn> so what is the best network manager for wireless conection
[18:10] <debian> aya >> i have a similar problem, however instead of my computer freezing, it just boots me out of hte x server
[18:11] <sandr-> Well to be very practical: I have this episode of southpark and I just want to cut come cool fragments out of it ;)
[18:11] <debian> i think its a bug with either you rcard or xgl
[18:11] <eckesicle_> Spl33n, oh was it the fan? sorry thought it was harddrive
[18:11] <debian> cause it used to do that on some of the other laptops (toshiba satolite) that ive used ubu on
[18:11] <ijn> my network-manager is not a choice
[18:11] <ezquerro> hi to everybody
[18:11] <madmike> sandr-, there a better options to edit films... hmm
[18:11] <Yodude> ikonia: ok the laptop is a 500Mhz 192 Mb of ram pc. it has no cdrom drive, the BIOS is locked, no floppy drive, just 1 USB hub, how can i i install ? i tried putting the ubuntu iso contents on a usb, installing wubi from it and then booting it like wubi-cdboot does, but it's so slow to the degree of being unworkable, what do you suggest ?
[18:11] <Spl33n> eckesicle_: No prob ;)
[18:11] <ijn> can u tell what to try
[18:11] <ezquerro> i'm having problems with video playing in ubuntu
[18:11] <flyingfree> okay so working on a wine problem
[18:12] <ezquerro> i have uninstalled the xgl driver and compiz
[18:12] <phosphoricx> ikonia: I did "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop", doesn't that stop ALSA?
[18:12] <flyingfree> where do I ned to put a program that I wnat to execute in wine
[18:12] <ikonia> Yodude: I wouldn't bother installing onto that kit
[18:12] <ikonia> phosphoricx: that will stop alsa service yes
[18:12] <ezquerro> and now xine doesn't work and totem with gstream makes the videos look green and blue
[18:12] <Yodude> ikonia: why ? isn't it worth the trouble ?
[18:12] <madmike> sandr-, mencoder is good for the encoding part
[18:12] <ezquerro> i have an ati x1400
[18:12] <jgoo> hey all, I have blender 2.44, from gutsy repo - I want to upgrade to 2.45 - I read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=657257
[18:12] <ikonia> Yodude: 1.) your install methods are a lot of effort 2.) the kit is old and lacking ram
[18:12] <jgoo> but, is there a more sane way? to update to 2.45 ?
[18:13] <ijn> better alternative for network-manager around????
[18:13] <ikonia> jgoo: wait for ubuntu to update the package
[18:13] <Spl33n> Oli``: I could not find a temperature sensors among my Gnome Panel applets? Any other suggestions?
[18:13] <Yodude> ikonia: i know but it is already running xp let's say acceptably, so linux should be flying on it
[18:13] <AMD_fan> !ping
[18:13] <ubotu> pong
[18:13] <ijn> any idea???
[18:13] <ikonia> Yodude: no - that's not how it works.
[18:13] <jgoo> ikonia: ok *waits*. should I hold my breath?
[18:13] <k0rnz> gdbm fatal: lseek error when trying to do "wine PokerStarsinstall.exe"  any ideas?
[18:13] <jgoo> ;-) well, I want to update it now, i will try what was on the forum post
[18:13] <ikonia> jgoo: don't know, contact the package maintainer and ask
[18:13] <Tinaqueen> hey guys
[18:13] <AMD_fan> !ping me
[18:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ping me - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:13] <Yodude> ikonia: so there's n hope for it ?
[18:13] <phosphoricx> ikonia: I stopped ALSA, but I still can not remove the module
[18:13] <John_R> dude, those specs will run video
[18:14] <ikonia> Yodude: it's not worth the effort
[18:14] <ijn> better alternative for network-manager around????
[18:14] <ikonia> phosphoricx: look for other sound related processes/applications
[18:14] <John_R> do yourself a favor and ditch evolution and everything related to it. will speed the box up a little
[18:14] <ikonia> !repeat | ijn
[18:14] <ubotu> ijn: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[18:14] <ijn> any idea???
[18:14] <flyingfree> how do I get wine to create all of its directories it ness etc?
[18:14] <flyingfree> It did not do it pon install
[18:14] <John_R> video ran fine under ubuntu on this box when it was a 550 with 256 megs of ram
[18:14] <d0lph1nK1ng> can i virtually and natively boot Ubuntu from another partition on the same disk?
[18:14] <flyingfree> man O man i need to improve that typing and I am watching the keyboard to boot
[18:14] <Yodude> ikonia: i accept putting up the effot but i need to know that it works, i fear that i would work so much and ubuntu would not work on it afterall
[18:14] <osfameron> hmmm, cupsys-driver-gutenprint  doesn't seem to exist in gutsy (was in edgy though)
[18:15] <ikonia> Yodude: ubuntu will boot if you went through all the hassle of getting it installed
[18:15] <John_R> yodude: go for it. video will work on it
[18:15] <ikonia> Yodude: how well it would work is your call
[18:15] <ijn> ok thanks:)
[18:15] <ikonia> John_R: he has 192 meg of ram.
[18:15] <vishal> Hi, Need to help with my microphone, I'm getting sound out of it, but when i try to record it wont record
[18:15] <John_R> and?
[18:15] <osfameron> or libgimpprint1
[18:15] <Yodude> John_R: what install method do you suggest ?
[18:15] <ikonia> John_R: minimum for ubuntu is 128 - he's only just above the minimium
[18:15] <John_R> i have 256 megs on this box and there is usually 80 to 100 megs free according to top
[18:16] <ikonia> John_R: he has no reasonable install method
[18:16] <John_R> yodude: alternate text install or network install
[18:16] <Yodude> ikonia: the thing is that its USB hub is usb 1.0 it's so slow that the usb needs like 30 minutes to boot
[18:16] <UltraNav> anyone observed the problem that clamscan consumes up to 99% cpu time one a mailserver ? - It happend after the last update a few days ago on my ubuntu 7.04 server... Any ideas ?
[18:16] <ikonia> John_R: he has no cdrom. His card won't support pxe boot
[18:16] <Yodude> John_R: i already have the ubuntu iso ( desktop ), can't i use that ?
[18:16] <ikonia> Yodude: as I said it's not worth all the effort. It's a wasting time
[18:16] <osfameron> do I just install "gutenprint" instead ?
[18:17] <John_R> no cdrom?
[18:17] <ikonia> Yodude: installer likes 256 - alternative is better as there are no gui requirments
[18:17] <vishal> Does any one have any clue on my sound problem?
[18:18] <John_R> well, yodude if you can find a way to use the install cd with your machine, it will work. wideo will work too. you wont be able to do anything else while video plays or it will skip, but youtube etc will work
[18:18] <flyingfree> hello again
[18:18] <flyingfree> still working on that iwne prboem
[18:18] <mete_> UltraNav: spam/virus filter?
[18:18] <flyingfree> sorry wine problem
[18:18] <eckesicle_> vishal: repeat it
[18:18] <d0lph1nK1ng> can i virtually and natively boot Ubuntu from another partition on the same disk?
[18:18] <John_R> take a cd out of another box and put it in that one or something
[18:18] <chazco> Why does Gusty install nearly 150 updates after installation? Is there a way to get an updated CD?
[18:18] <vishal> eckesicle_: Hi, Need to help with my microphone, I'm getting sound out of it, but when i try to record it wont record
[18:18] <ikonia> John_R: it's a laptop
[18:18] <flyingfree> wine did not create the wine directory on install
[18:18] <ikonia> John_R: it's not worth all the effort of installing
[18:18] <John_R> ah, gotcha
[18:18] <John_R> hhahaha thats a pickle
[18:18] <Filled-Void> Anyone who has Conky running who could help me? I think I have some kind of weird font problem
[18:19] <UltraNav> mete_: what do you mean ?
[18:19] <John_R> had a similar problem with an old compaq 166, the bios wouldnt allow booting from cdrom and there was no floppy
[18:19] <John_R> ended up parting it out on ebay
[18:19] <mete_> UltraNav: do you've a virus or spam scanning software on your mailserver?
[18:19] <flyingfree> when I cd to a directorty that has an exe in it and then type 'wine  setup.exe it gives me a list of directioreis that are not accessbile most winth a windows component to them
[18:19] <John_R> yodude: what is the exact model of the laptop? i have some old laptop cdroms laying around
[18:19] <haymaker> what should i use for a compiz decorator?
[18:19] <UltraNav> mete_: using postfix/mailscanner/clamav
[18:19] <eckesicle_> vishal, which version of ubuntu are you running?
[18:20] <vishal> eckesicle_: Gutsy, sorry brb
[18:20] <Yodude> John_R: acer travelmate 340t ( actually 341T but that's kinda the same )
[18:20] <mete_> UltraNav: I only know, that virus/spam-scnaners on windows have many cpu issues ;) on linux I don't know :(
[18:20] <eckesicle_> vishal, It sounds as if you have capture muted. You can unmute it with alsamixer. Just type alsamixer in a terminal window
[18:20] <Yodude> John_R: i can't find a good way to use the desktop iso since there is no cdrom or floppy
[18:21] <John_R> uh yeah thats sort of bad
[18:21] <Yodude> John_R: i've tried to make a bootable USB install media, but it didn't work, the usb won't boot at any machine i don't know why
[18:21] <John_R> wonder if vmware server would run on those specs
[18:21] <John_R> hheheh
[18:21] <John_R> you can get ubuntu into 128 megs
[18:21] <flyingfree> kopete seems to bbe laggin a lot more then gaim did on IRC
[18:21] <John_R> that would leave a bare minimum for XP
[18:21] <John_R> yodude: you got xp on it now?
[18:22] <eckesicle_> vishal, maybe you can also change it with gnome-volume-control
[18:22] <flyingfree> anyways till loking for helkp with a wine setup problem
[18:22] <flyingfree> is there a wine channel?
[18:22] <flyingfree> sec
[18:22] <Yodude> John_R: yes i can boot it and work with it just fine
[18:22] <IngenAning> Are there key bindings to switch workspaces?
[18:22] <eckesicle_> flyingfree, #winehq
[18:22] <leo_> how do i disable powernowd before install ?
[18:22] <John_R> yodude: ok, jeep xp on it then. dont want to leave a diskless machine in an unbootable state
[18:22] <nAgoHaK> Hi! Please, help me. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50878/ && http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50879/
[18:22] <John_R> yodude: go to vmware.com and get a copy of vmware server and a few free licenses
[18:22] <eckesicle_> IngenAning, ctrl-alt-vänster och ctrl-alt-höger
[18:23] <John_R> yodude: then you can run ubuntu in a virtual machine and have both on the machine
[18:23] <Yodude> John_R: and then what ?
[18:23] <IngenAning> eckesicle_: tack :)
[18:23] <eckesicle_> np
[18:23] <John_R> and then do whatever you want
[18:23] <medouk> En
[18:23] <John_R> you will have xp on the box
[18:23] <John_R> and ubuntu on the box
[18:23] <Arelis_> Hi all. I installed KDE. Now my menus are REALLY, REALLY messy. How do i remove all the GNOME apps from the menu?
[18:23] <John_R> both running at the same time
[18:23] <Arelis_> err, wrong channel
[18:23] <Arelis_> sorry
[18:24] <ikonia> John_R: he's going to run a VM on a box with 192 meg of ram and 600 mhz cpu
[18:24] <ikonia> John_R: I think not
[18:24] <John_R> yep
[18:24] <IngenAning> eckesicle: hm.. det gör inte
[18:24] <vishal> eckesicle: sorry Im back, my sister just got a picture of the upcoming ford fiesta, looks pretty sweet, oh and i check all that its not muted
[18:24] <John_R> i think so. i am the king of old hardware, and it will work
[18:24] <flyingfree> looking for help with wine
[18:24] <ikonia> John_R: I disagree
[18:24] <flyingfree> is this the right channel?
[18:24] <nAgoHaK> Hi! Please, help me. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50878/ && http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50879/
[18:24] <Yodude> John_R: i know it's virtualization, but i don't want a virtual ubuntu i want a real install cuz the machine's already slow it won't work well with virtualizers
[18:24] <John_R> i got ubuntu onto my 4 year old's laptop, it is a p150 with 80 megs of ram
[18:24] <John_R> and it works usable
[18:24] <astro76> ikonia, you're right, that's insane
[18:24] <chazco> !lamp
[18:24] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[18:25] <ikonia> John_R: but your not running an OS, then a VM, then another OS on that laptop
[18:25] <ikonia> astro76: I know
[18:25] <John_R> yodude: if you want everything for nothing, right now, im afraid i cant help you
[18:25] <John_R> but vmware is free, and it is a workable way to get ubuntu onto that box
[18:25] <eckesicle> IngenAning, Okay. I thought it was default. Are you running compiz or not?
[18:25] <astro76> it's not workable :p
[18:25] <John_R> and with vmware tools installed, latency will be almost 0
[18:25] <eckesicle> vishal: np.
[18:25] <Yodude> John_R: i know but in a virtual machine on an already slow machne it would be for nothing
[18:25] <IngenAning> eckesicle: never mind, i got it. do you know how to change it? so i can have it custom?
[18:25] <vishal> eckesicle: I've just the volume control and alsa mixer and none of it is muted and everything is maxed out
[18:26] <randorfer> nAgoHaK if you actually ask a question you might get a response, saying "help me" dosn't illict much from most people
[18:26] <ikonia> http://www.vmware.com/support/ws45/doc/intro_hostreq_ws.html
[18:26] <vishal> eckesicle: checked**
[18:26] <John_R> ok, so sell it on ebay and buy a faster macine
[18:26] <ikonia> Yodude: http://www.vmware.com/support/ws45/doc/intro_hostreq_ws.html read this before wasting any time trying to run VM's on it
[18:26] <flyingfree> I can't seem to get wine working can I get some help?
[18:26] <eckesicle> vishal, not disabled?
[18:26] <eckesicle> vishal, muted*
[18:26] <eckesicle> IngenAning, yes. Are you running compiz?
[18:26] <vishal> eckesicle: nop, i turned on mic boost, and its loud and clear when i speak into the mic
[18:26] <toni_> flyingfree,  try asking
[18:27] <randorfer> flyingfree /join #wine
[18:27] <John_R> i run xp in a vm just fine on this box
[18:27] <John_R> os[Linux 2.6.20-16-generic i686] distro[Debian 4.0] cpu[1 x Celeron (Coppermine) @ 702MHz] mem[Physical : 250MB, 46.9% free] disk[Total : 8.72GB, 10.80% Free] video[S3 Inc. 86C270-294 Savage/IX-MV] sound[]
[18:27] <ikonia> John_R: once again - you have more ram
[18:27] <Yodude> ikonia: i would rather avoid using virtualization: UNLESS i can get ubuntu to transfer after that to a real machine
[18:27] <John_R> what, 64 megs more? big woop
[18:27] <eckesicle> IngenAning, if you have 3d effects enabled you can change it in System->Inställningar->Utseende
[18:27] <vishal> eckesicle: what weried is its actually got a sort of double volume control, AMic makes it go really load and when that is low/muted i can still hear it but Mic takes over from there
[18:27] <eckesicle> (System->Preferences->Appearance
[18:27] <John_R> you can get a 128 meg install of ubuntu into a vm on that box and leave 64 megs for xp
[18:27] <ikonia> Yodude: bottom line, that laptop is not a good system to use, even less to use with virualisation, you can accept that or disagree
[18:28] <John_R> xp runs in 64 megs
[18:28] <John_R> if you want to make the hardware work for you, then do it. otherwise dont
[18:28] <eckesicle> vishal, yes one is for input that is throughput to speakers, the other for capture
[18:28] <Yodude> ikonia: no i totally accept that, i was just hoping that that i could revive it with linux
[18:28] <Generic> John_R, you using virtualbox or vmware?
[18:28] <John_R> vmware
[18:28] <randorfer> Yodude, what are you trying to do?  revive an old laptop?
[18:28] <ikonia> Yodude: you can "install" but it's not worth the effort due to your hardware, and it's not going to be worth it once it's running
[18:29] <John_R> the laptop has no cdrom and he says the usb is slow
[18:29] <Generic> ah
[18:29] <Yodude> randorfer: yeah
[18:29] <vishal> eckesicle: both maxed out but the sound recorder still doesnt record
[18:29] <SchnorrerAlena_1> what is 'ubnu'??
[18:29] <John_R> do it to see if you can. experience is experience
[18:29] <eckesicle> Yodude, I would recommend running xubuntu over ubuntu if you have limited hardware
[18:29] <SchnorrerAlena_1> *ubnutu
[18:29] <Yodude> ikonia: yes but when i saw the xp performance, it's actually VERY acceptable, you can run a lot of stuff on it
[18:29] <ikonia> SchnorrerAlena_1: a linux distribution
[18:29] <eckesicle> vishal, does the sound recorder use alsa?
[18:29] <randorfer> Yodude, look for a distro that uses something like fluxbox / openbox / xfce4
[18:29] <John_R> good call, eckesicle
[18:29] <ikonia> Yodude: thats your call then. Do what you please.
[18:29] <randorfer> Yodude, damn small comes to mind
[18:29] <vishal> eckesicle: I guess, its the one packed with gutsy
[18:30] <flyingfree> thanks eckesicle
[18:30] <isaacj87> hi, can anyone tell me if there's any benefit using the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver over the xserver-xorg-video-i810??
[18:30] <MetzrKr> how to split a rar file under ubuntu?
[18:30] <Yodude> eckesicle: i know i just don't have the good bandwidth to re-download that ubuntu flavor, i don know thgouh that it's tons faster
[18:30] <isaacj87> I'm using an Intel i915
[18:30] <randorfer> isaacj87 intel is the currently developed one i810 is being phased out (as I understand it)
[18:30] <blip> This is more of a generic linux question - but can you have a website be your desktop background (I want to make meebo.com my default IM application )
[18:30] <eckesicle> vishal, i don't know then. Can you record in other program?
[18:30] <John_R> yodude: you dont want to install ubuntu on that machine, or you wouldnt complain about every solution offered
[18:30] <John_R> if your usb works, even slowly, install from a usb drive
[18:31] <Yodude> John_R: i've spend 2 days working to get it installed
[18:31] <John_R> otherwise stick it in a vm. or just keep xp on it
[18:31] <vishal> eckesicle: dont know any other programs, new to ubuntu, can you suggest one?
[18:31] <eckesicle> Yodude, xfce is much faster. You can always install regular ubuntu and then do sudo apt-get install xfce
[18:31] <isaacj87> randorfer: Ah. Well, I'm stuck on Feisty...so wouldn't the intel driver I have in my repo be older?
[18:31] <speedbird> hi
[18:31] <Yodude> eckesicle: i just can't get ubuntu to install
[18:31] <ikonia> Yodude: I think we can drop the topic, many people have provided lots of options, it's up to you what you do now
[18:31] <speedbird> i need some help guys
[18:31] <randorfer> isaacj87 things like drivers are developed independently of a distrubition (totally seperate movements)
[18:31] <eckesicle> Yodude, what is the error you get?
[18:32] <isaacj87> randorfer: I see. Thanks for the help :)
[18:32] <eckesicle> vishal, sorry. I'm not a sound guy.
[18:32] <Yodude> ikonia: ok thanks for your help guys
[18:32] <vishal> eckesicle: no problem thanks for trying ;)
[18:32] <Yodude> John_R: anyway thanks for your help :)
[18:32] <isaacj87> randorfer: Do I just go into synaptic and install the intel driver?
[18:32] <DIL_> i have ubuntu on a gateway solo that is great - i have another gateway solo that xp chokes
[18:33] <isaacj87> randorfer: I don't have to do anything special??
[18:33] <John_R> yodude: is there a slot on that box for an internal cdrom?
[18:33] <eckesicle> vishal: try this first: cat /etc/esound/esd.conf
[18:33] <Yodude> John_R: i think there's one for an external cdrom
[18:33] <randorfer> isaacj87 um, just check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and make sure the driver is listed as intel not i810 after you do so
[18:33] <John_R> ok
[18:33] <naknomik> I have a strange problem. In some gnome applications, I can't type anything. I see that there is SCIM icon in the notification area. If I exit that window I can type as usual. I suspect this is something to do with my international setup, but can't figure out what is wrong.
[18:33] <sverige> can anyone help me with openoffice and ati card?
[18:33] <isaacj87> randorfer: ah. good advice
[18:33] <John_R> np. was going to see if nay of the asstd internal laptop cdroms i have would fit it
[18:33] <isaacj87> randorfer: I'll do that
[18:34] <sverige> my openoffice wont start because i have ati card
[18:34] <randorfer> isaacj87 any other q's just ask ;-)
[18:34] <Yodude> John_R: just help me on this final solution, use a windows partitioner-create an ext3 partition housing the contents of the ubuntu cd-make it bootable-install ubuntu
[18:34] <randorfer> sverige really? thats interesting because it starts for most people with ati cards.
[18:34] <eckesicle> vishal, also did you select the microphone as input source? That is probably it
[18:34] <sverige> when i run ooficce -writer it gives me a unknown error and halt the execution
[18:34] <randorfer> sverige whats you real questions
[18:34] <ikonia> Yodude: you don't need xp to make an ext3 partition
[18:35] <ikonia> Yodude: just use the ubuntu installer
[18:35] <vishal> eckesicle: yeah i selected microphone
[18:35] <eckesicle> vishal, dblclick on volume control in top bar. Go Edit->Preferences
[18:35] <speedbird> can anyone tell me how to uninstall beryl
[18:35] <randorfer> sverige what is the error?
[18:35] <sverige> this is a fresh installation of gutsy
[18:35] <Yodude> John_R: isn't that the way many laptops manufacturers use to reformat their systems ? ( like those sony vaios recovery partitions)
[18:35] <eckesicle> vishal, Then click in input-source
[18:35] <ikonia> Yodude: you can't do that
[18:35] <Jack_Sparrow> speedbird: How did you install it?
[18:35] <Yodude> ikonia: i can't ?
[18:35] <ikonia> Yodude: no
[18:35] <vishal> eckesicle: there is no input-source
[18:36] <sverige> some kind of unknow forking error
[18:36] <eckesicle> vishal, close the window and another tab should appear. No?
[18:36] <speedbird> don't remember followed some command i found online
[18:36] <eckesicle> vishal, what do you have?
[18:36] <izanbardprince> yeah, because they have to pay Microsoft a licensing fee every time they burn a CD with Windows on it
[18:36] <panosru> Hi! I have a problem with my Ubuntu Gutsy 64bit. When i enter my username & password to login into my system it takes about ~1 - 2 minutes to load. Does anyone knows anything about it?
[18:36] <Yodude> ikonia: you mean i can't install ubuntu off a bootable partition ?
[18:36] <speedbird> then someone told me i dont need beryl if i dont have gfx card
[18:36] <Jack_Sparrow> !beryl
[18:36] <ubotu> Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion.  New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz
[18:36] <izanbardprince> so they waste half your hard disk with a recover partition instead
[18:36] <ikonia> Yodude: you can - but probably not with your hardware and not without a lot of effort
[18:37] <sverige> WARNING **: Unknown error forking main binary / abnormal early exit  that the error message
[18:37] <charles87> Yodude: I think you can mount the iso image and just copy the image to some partition...
[18:37] <vishal> eckesicle: when i got to prefrences i get the window to select what volume bars to add the the control
[18:37] <charles87> that uses the loopback
[18:37] <ikonia> charles87: that won't work
[18:37] <charles87> ok, I was not sure
[18:37] <charles87> ^^
[18:37] <ikonia> charles87: the squashfs symlinks are linked to cdrom device files
[18:37] <Yodude> charles87: and can i make that partition boot instead of the windows partition ?
[18:37] <eckesicle> vishal, yes there should be a checkbox called input source?
[18:37] <ikonia> charles87: so you're not using a cdrom so that won't work
[18:37] <Jack_Sparrow> speedbird: Not knowing what you used or how you installed it makes it tough to uninstall
[18:37] <sverige> i know it the ati card because when i take out the card the computer has a buildin video card and it works
[18:37] <chazco> When running "tasksel install lamp-server" everything goes well till tasksel freezes... It seems to have finished, just not exited. Ctrl+C doesnt kill it. Any ideas on making it work properly (would like to include it in a script)?
[18:37] <izanbardprince> ethan961: logging in as root is dangerous
[18:38] <ikonia> Yodude: does your old bios support selective boot partitions ?
[18:38] <charles87> Yodude: you have to configure your bootloader, that's what loads the OSs
[18:38] <eckesicle> sverige: did you install the latest ATI drivers?
[18:38] <speedbird> i used terminal to install it
[18:38] <eckesicle> !ati | sverige
[18:38] <ubotu> sverige: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[18:38] <speedbird> but i now i cant find it in add remove programs
[18:38] <juan> Hi, anyone can tell me how to upgrade to amarok 1.4.8, because i can't compile it from source :S ??
[18:38] <Jack_Sparrow> speedbird: Do you know how to post your /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:38] <Yodude> ikonia:hehe your gonna laugh at this: the NIOS is locked i don't know the password ( it's my friend's machine he forgot the pass ) and i don't have a floppy to flash the BIOS
[18:39] <ikonia> Yodude: ok - so stop wasting time and drop it
[18:39] <speedbird> but i dont have any gfx card in my system
[18:39] <sverige> i use the restricted driver to install
[18:39] <speedbird> jack sparrow : no i dont :s
[18:39] <vishal> eckesicle: No input-source there but there is mic select, i have mic1 and 2 but i tried both, no luck
[18:39] <sverige> dont know if that install the latest drivers
[18:39] <ethan961_> izanbardprince: sorry, this is only the second day in my life I have used IRC, didn't know that
[18:39] <juan> Hi, anyone can tell me how to upgrade to amarok 1.4.8, because i can't compile it from source :S ??
[18:39] <ikonia> juan: if there is not an ubuntu package available, don't upgrade
[18:39] <sverige> after using the restricted drivers i can run glxgears
[18:39] <vishal> eckesicle: when mic1 is selected i can hear myself talking but not on mic 2
[18:39] <Jack_Sparrow> speedbird: It would really help to know what script you used.. If you didnt use apt-get to install it.. apt-get will not uninstall it
[18:39] <sverige> so i assume it works
[18:39] <Yodude> charles87: i have a C: partition for windows how can i make the other boot instead of it ?
[18:39] <juan> ikonia and how do i know that?
[18:40] <ikonia> Yodude: what part of "NO" are you not getting
[18:40] <sverige> it looks like graphics acceleration is on
[18:40] <ikonia> juan: look in the ubuntu repo with synaptic for the version in there
[18:40] <speedbird> Alright let me check again
[18:40] <juan> ikonia no, it isn't :S
[18:40] <ikonia> juan: then there is no package
[18:40] <eckesicle> vishal, it is not mic1 you want. You want Capture1
[18:40] <Yodude> ikonia: please don't try to end the discussion because i think i CAN get thr cd to install
[18:40] <juan> ikonia so, there are 0 chances to get amarok 1.4.8???
[18:40] <charles87> Yodude: 2sec
[18:40] <Jack_Sparrow> speedbird: go to a terminal and type  gedit  /etc/apt/sources.list     then shift copy and paste it to the pastebin which I will link below.. then provide us with a link to view it.

[18:41] <ikonia> Yodude: your bios is locked so you can't select the boot partition, you can't boot from a cdrom or floppy, what more do you want ?
[18:41] <Yodude> ikonia: i already got the cd to transfer to usb and boot, but it's too slow that's why i need another method
[18:41] <charles87> put that to your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[18:41] <vishal> eckesicle: there is only mic1 and mic2 on the drop down list
[18:41] <charles87> title           Microsoft Windows XP �dition familiale
[18:41] <charles87> root            (hd0,0)
[18:41] <Yodude> ikonia: i wish it wasn't like that but it's not even my laptop
[18:41] <ikonia> charles87: he's not got grub
[18:41] <charles87> savedefault
[18:41] <charles87> oh ok
[18:41] <ikonia> Yodude: your wasting time on this
[18:41] <Yodude> ikonia: i DO know that tyhe situation seems a LOT locked up and impossibe
[18:41] <eckesicle> vishal: open a terminal, type 'alsamixer'
[18:41] <eckesicle> w/o the quotes
[18:41] <juan> charles87 hey you are trying to fix the boot of windows xp??
[18:42] <charles87> juan: isn't that what he just asked?
[18:42] <eckesicle> vishal, then press tab once. You should now see a few volume bars named capture
[18:42] <xerxes1358> Is there Linux Support for MSN / Yahoo Video and Audio ?
[18:42] <eckesicle> vishal, raise the leftmost one
[18:42] <randorfer> Yodude, you have a usb dirve correct??  Why not try a one of the usbpendrive linux installs?
[18:42] <juan> charles87 well i don't know, i am having the same problem here, is there a solution?
[18:43] <charles87> what's wrong?
[18:43] <John_R> yodude
[18:43] <John_R> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-ubuntukubuntuedubuntuxubuntu-without-cdrom-drive.html
[18:43] <Yodude> John_R: yeah?
[18:43] <Yodude> randorfer: i did try the ubuntu on stick rtutorial using that isotostick shell script
[18:43] <vishal> eckesicle: i think you've got it, master under capture was droppped
[18:43] <speedbird> i wrote  gedit  /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:43] <Yodude> randorfer: but no matter what i did the usb wouldn't boot on any system
[18:44] <speedbird> and it opened a source.list file
[18:44] <speedbird> now what to do with that :( ?
[18:44] <eckesicle> vishal, excellent. Unfortunately i don't know how to get it back in the graphical interface.
[18:44] <Yodude> John_R: oh the link lol i just saw irt
[18:44] <TonKi> speedbird: sudo gedit .. to make changes
[18:44] <juan> speedbird are you trying to add repositories to sources.list?
[18:44] <eckesicle> vishal, but that's okay because the cool people use alsamixer anyhow
[18:44] <Jack_Sparrow> TonKi: stop please
[18:44] <xerxes1358> Jack_Sparrow, maybe you know
[18:44] <Jack_Sparrow> speedbird: go to a terminal and type  gedit  /etc/apt/sources.list     then shift copy and paste it to the pastebin which I will link below.. then provide us with a link to view it.
[18:45] <eckesicle> Jack_Sparrow, you forgot sudo
[18:45] <eckesicle> Jack_Sparrow, sorry my bad
[18:45] <Yodude> John_R: thnx but that's using the alternate cd i only have the desktop cd, sop i'm guess either way if i want this to work i gotta use like 1000 of bandwidth
[18:45] <Jack_Sparrow> eckesicle: Not trying to edit it guys...
[18:45] <kartook> hello all friends
[18:45] <shaf1> If I have a RAID5 setup with 2x 500gb drives and 1x300gb drive, do I essentially lose 400gb of storage?

[18:45] <kartook> how to install FTP server
[18:45] <charles87> juan: what are the compiling errors?
[18:45] <randorfer> shaf1 yes
[18:45] <charles87> juan: you're trying to upgrade amarok right?
[18:45] <Jack_Sparrow> juan
[18:45] <eth01> kartook, you shouldn't use FTP. Use SCP.
[18:45] <vishal> eckesicle: lmao, hehe, I raised up everything and it works work, Thanks alot m8, and yh i dont really care about GUI as long as i can get it to work. Thanks for the help m8
[18:46] <eckesicle> Yodude, order a cd if bandwidth is a problem
[18:46] <charles87> juan: I'm good at compiling stuff :P
[18:46] <Yodude> John_R: but it DOES have some tips about booting a partition
[18:46] <speedbird> ok copied everything
[18:46] <John_R> yep
[18:46] <eckesicle> vishal, you're welcome.
[18:46] <speedbird> now ? paste where ?

[18:46] <Yodude> eckesicle: they ship alternate cd's at shipit ?
[18:46] <speedbird> what is pastebin ?? :p
[18:46] <John_R> i dont see why you couldnt use those instructions to boot the desktop iso from a partition
[18:46] <Yodude> eckesicle: omg that would make it SO easier
[18:46] <Jack_Sparrow> speedbird: You really need to read so I dont have to repeat everything twice.
[18:46] <John_R> a cd image is a cd image
[18:46] <eckesicle> GigaYacht, hello. Press Alt-F2
[18:46] <charles87> speedbird: A site that holds temporary text

[18:47] <kartook> how to make a FTP server or SCP ?? any one refer the url for how to link
[18:47] <Malik_> hey can some1 help me w
[18:47] <speedbird> ok ok i got it now
[18:47] <speedbird> pasting it
[18:47] <eth01> kartook, google scp.
[18:47] <Malik_> how much space does ubuntu take up on hd
[18:47] <kartook> okie thanks
[18:47] <voidwasp_1-11> guys I'm on the final screen of the install process, and my resolution won't go above 640x480 and i can't see the buttons at the bottom of the screen, how do i advance to the next step?
[18:47] <kartook> thanks alot
[18:47] <Malik_> jus the installation
[18:47] <GigaYacht> okie
[18:47] <GigaYacht> i did that
[18:47] <nickrud> speedbird, if you're using pidgin for an irc client, you should install xchat.  Click it to get a list of wireless networks. And then connect
[18:47] <ikonia> Malik_: default install is about 800 meg
[18:47] <ikonia> Malik_: it can run in about 400
[18:47] <ikonia> Malik_: or go into a couple of gig
[18:48] <GigaYacht> it says wired internet connection
[18:48] <eckesicle> GigaYacht, It may take up to 30 seconds for the program to detect the wireless networks around you
[18:48] <Yodude> thanks guys i think i found a good workable solution
[18:48] <ruru> Note to Self:  Never install ubuntu 64 bit for a home desktop
[18:48] <speedbird> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50881/
[18:48] <ikonia> ruru: keep your notes to your self "to your self"
[18:48] <speedbird> ok you got it now ?
[18:48] <Yodude> but can someone just hint me at a good windows partition editor that is free ( if there is one ) ?
[18:48] <xerxes1358> Is there Linux Support for MSN / Yahoo Video and Audio ?
[18:48] <GigaYacht> i did that earlyer and now i have 2 open :S
[18:48] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: I will be leaving to go to the movies soon... speedbird did an install from a script and wants to undo it.. I was going to look at his sources list to try and see where he got it.  Assuming the worst..
[18:48] <eth01> this is ubuntu
[18:48] <eth01> so of course it'll be free.
[18:48] <eth01> geez
[18:48] <ikonia> xerxes1358: yes, with pidgin
[18:48] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow, sure
[18:49] <ruru> keep sujjestions to yourself ikonia
[18:49] <ikonia> ruru: no, this topic is a busy support channel, for support questions only, not random musings
[18:49] <Jack_Sparrow> ruru: Please dont be rude
[18:49] <eckesicle> GigaYacht, okay. Go to System->Administration->Network
[18:49] <nickrud> speedbird, I'll try to take over from Jack_Sparrow , see what's there
[18:49] <ruru> Alright
[18:49] <Jack_Sparrow> thanks nickrud
[18:49] <speedbird> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50881/
[18:50] <eckesicle> GigaYacht, Select wireless connection and then click properties. Click in "Roaming mode"
[18:50] <speedbird> i have paste it here now what ? and treat me as a noob :p at ubuntu .. :P
[18:50] <eckesicle> GigaYacht, Then close the windows
[18:50] <ruru> anyone know how to get picasa, adobe flash to work on 64 bit ubuntu?
[18:50] <ikonia> ruru: currently the flashplugin package is broke for ubuntu in general
[18:50] <xerxes1358> ikonia, did you read what I said ?
[18:50] <ikonia> xerxes1358: apologies, no I missed it
[18:50] <swit> hellow
[18:50] <eckesicle> GigaYacht, wait 30 seconds and then the networks should appear in the little applet we started
[18:51] <GigaYacht> im sorry this is my first time with linux but i am running KDE and i dont know where system/ administration is, i had this problem before too
[18:51] <eckesicle> ikonia, gnash works yes?
[18:51] <ruru> And picasa anyone know work around to install this application?
[18:51] <xerxes1358> I was wondering if there is VIdeo and Audio support in Linux for MSN and Yahoo
[18:51] <ikonia> eckesicle: debatable
[18:51] <charles87> ruru: get the pack on adobe's site and copy the lib the your browser plugin directory
[18:51] <eckesicle> GigaYacht, ah are you running kubuntu?
[18:51] <ikonia> xerxes1358: not sure about video
[18:51] <nickrud> speedbird, I don't see any changes there, but the stuff may have been put in /etc/apt.conf.d/   do     ls  /etc/apt/.conf.d     in a terminal, and put the output on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[18:51] <GigaYacht> mint 4.1
[18:51] <ikonia> xerxes1358: I know amsn supports video in ubuntu for msn
[18:51] <GigaYacht> sorry i should have been more clear
[18:51] <nickrud> speedbird, and where'd you get the script at?
[18:51] <ikonia> GigaYacht: we don't support mint here
[18:51] <xerxes1358> ikonia, is there audio support as well ?
[18:51] <ruru> not sure understand that fully charles
[18:51] <speedbird> ok
[18:51] <ikonia> xerxes1358: I think so
[18:52] <speedbird> wait i m on it
[18:52] <GigaYacht> is there a better place i can check then?
[18:52] <Yodude> charles87: you still there ? sorry i just nticed your PM continue what u were saying please
[18:52] <ikonia> GigaYacht: look on mints websites for support options

[18:54] <ikonia> eckesicle: we are not here to support mint
[18:54] <nickrud> speedbird, sorry that should be /etc/apt/apt.conf.d
[18:54] <ikonia> eckesicle: please stop
[18:54] <mular> hello guys, anyone know how I would know if I am using the right kernal for my processor (pentium 4)
[18:54] <eckesicle> GigaYacht, use man iwconfig for more info
[18:54] <speedbird> ok
[18:54] <nickrud> speedbird, and when you type to me, be sure to put my nick in the line, it's red and I can't miss it
[18:54] <eckesicle> ikonia, big deal. It's the same in ubuntu
[18:54] <randorfer> ikonia:  what is wrong with giving the general way to connect to wireless lans via the cli
[18:55] <ikonia> eckesicle: its not, and the policy of this channel it to not support ubuntu
[18:55] <charles87> mular: did you compile it yourself?
[18:55] <ikonia> randorfer: because we support ubuntu in here only.
[18:55] <speedbird> nickrud bash: /etc/apt/apt.conf.d: is a directory
[18:55] <nickrud> ikonia, not support ubuntu ?? ;p
[18:55] <GigaYacht> lo        no wireless extensions.

[18:55] <eckesicle> ikonia, is the policy to not support ubuntu? ooops. Ill stop then
[18:55] <mular> charles87, no I did not just downloaded the generic desktop installer

[18:55] <speedbird> ok
[18:55] <randorfer> ikonia, and that is a valid solution for ubuntu on the cli is it not?
[18:55] <GigaYacht> sorry
[18:55] <ikonia> GigaYacht: please take your questions to a mint support arena
[18:56] <Goupil418> Hi everyone
[18:56] <charles87> mular: well your CPU is probably supported then
[18:56] <ikonia> randorfer: he's not using ubuntu
[18:56] <nickrud> speedbird, ls is 'list' , it gives a file/directory listing
[18:56] <mular> I was browsing google and that was one of the tips I read for new ubuntu users on linux.com - said to get the most you should install a kernal out of synaptic
[18:56] <ikonia> randorfer: he's using mint
[18:56] <charles87> mular: what CPU do you have? what's wrong?
[18:56] <mular> but that post was from 2005 so I am wondering maybe things changed?
[18:56] <speedbird> nickrud let me try again now
[18:56] <mular> oh nothing really, just the tip said Ubuntu will install a 386 kernal for you, and if you have a p2 or better thats not something you may want
[18:57] <speedbird> alright
[18:57] <ikonia> mular: the kernels are generic
[18:57] <mular> so I was just curious lol, its an outdated post so I assume thats wrong now
[18:57] <nickrud> mular, yes, that's old suggestions, the new kernel supports all chip versions now
[18:57] <eckesicle> GigaYacht, in the command I gave you replace wlan0 with eth1. The device name is different on your system
[18:57] <kbrooks> mular, kernel not kernal
[18:57] <mular> ah ok thanks guys :)
[18:57] <mular> lol ty ;)
[18:57] <Generic> or am I the kernel?
[18:57] <ikonia> eckesicle: can we please stop with mint user support please.
[18:57] <speedbird> nickrud : its http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50883/
[18:58] <randorfer> ikonia, no, no thats not true kernels can be optimized for different architecures (i386, i586, i686 etc)
[18:58] <nickrud> eckesicle, or take it to #eck , support is always nice
[18:58] <ikonia> randorfer: they CAN be but ubuntu makes a generic
[18:58] <lostsanity> hello, i installed ubuntu two days ago, and i've been able to resolve any issue's i had except i keep getting random freezes and have to restart my computer, i haven't noticed any patterns except that it's always while i'm doing something (anything, using a browser or WINE mostly though), does anyone know what could be happening?
[18:58] <eckesicle> ikonia, tomato, tomato.
[18:58] <eckesicle> crap, doesn't work when you type it out...
[18:58] <ikonia> eckesicle: no - not tomato tomato
[18:58] <g-hennux> hi!
[18:58] <speedbird> nickrud its just two lines
[18:58] <Goupil418> Hi everyone I'm new to IRC, Linux and Ubuntu can anyone give me a few tips so I don't get lost?
[18:58] <eckesicle> hello!
[18:58] <charles87> lostsanity: how much ram do you have?
[18:58] <eckesicle> Goupil418, use a map!
[18:58] <ikonia> Goupil418: ask specific questions
[18:59] <lostsanity> 512
[18:59] <nickrud> speedbird, ok it didn't change your sources apparently. do this in a terminal,   dpkg -l '*beryl*' and pastebin the results
[18:59] <charles87> lostsanity: do you have swap?
[18:59] <Goupil418> ikonia: I'd like to start programming
[18:59] <lostsanity> swap? sorry i don't know what that is?
[18:59] <eckesicle> Goupil418, Take a course in Java at the open university
[18:59] <ikonia> Goupil418: pick a book then to teach an appropriate language
[18:59] <speedbird> ok
[18:59] <DIL_> the deep freeze has entered the IRC
[18:59] <speedbird> nickrud ok
[18:59] <nickrud> speedbird, and if you could remember where you got the script ....
[18:59] <charles87> lostsanity: swap is used to transfert programs that takes too much space into RAM
[18:59] <charles87> lostsanity: this is just like a partition
[19:00] <g-hennux> where does ubuntu store the ladspa plugins? i have a asoundrc file from gentoo where it says 'path "/usr/lib/ladspa"' in it, but this seems not to be true for my ubuntu
[19:00] <eckesicle> lostsanity, type: cat/etc/fstab | grep swap
[19:00] <speedbird> nickrud no i dont :(
[19:00] <eckesicle> what do you see?
[19:00] <nickrud> speedbird, do you still have the script?
[19:00] <eckesicle> oops wrong wrong wrong
[19:00] <eckesicle> lostsanity, should be: cat /etc/fstab | grep swap
[19:00] <lostsanity> er k
[19:00] <lostsanity> k sec

[19:01] <Fuse1921> Hi, i was wondering if anyone could help me with my boot disk, im having trouble with my pc to recognize it.

[19:01] <fantum13> Hello, would anyone be able to help me troubleshoot DHCP on my wireless? I'm using an AR5007EG with ndiswrapper in amd64 7.10.
[19:01] <eckesicle> excellent. So you do have swap
[19:02] <nickrud> speedbird, that helps a lot.   system->admin->synaptic, let me know when it's open
[19:02] <charles87> lostsanity: open a terminal and type in "top"
[19:02] <eckesicle> !anyone | fantum13
[19:02] <Goupil418> ikonia: cool thanks! I'd also like to know more about the files formats and conversion of files like movies, audio and flash on firefox
[19:02] <ubotu> fantum13: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[19:02] <DIL_> !python | Gouipil418
[19:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about python - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:02] <Iolaus> Hey all, can anyone tell me if there are repositories that maintain more bleeding edge packages for things like x.org, alsa, mesa, etc or is the only way to test them to build them from source?
[19:02] <randorfer> fantum are you running the 64 bit kernel?
[19:02] <charles87> lostsanity: look for resource hungry processes
[19:02] <speedbird> nickrud its open now
[19:03] <fantum13> randorfer: Yes, I am. I'm also using a 64-bit windows driver in ndiswrapper. I've gotten it to work previously with the same setup, but I'm not sure what exactly happened to cause that, and now it isn't working again.
[19:03] <eckesicle> Goupil418, but if you want to learn programming look for a course that seems to fit your needs and wants at the local university or online at the open university
[19:03] <nickrud> speedbird, on the lower left there's some buttons, press the one that says Status
[19:03] <Goupil418> DIL_: hi ^_^
[19:03] <indigo196> I am looking for guidance on a boot problem with Ubuntu 64bit. The system will not boot unless I remove quiet and splash from the Grub Menu.list
[19:03] <Fuse1921> Anybody happen to know if the Dell XPS Gen 4 desktop is compatible with Ubuntu?
[19:03] <Goupil418> eckesicle: I want to start a new OS ^_^
[19:03] <indigo196> I am curious as to why this would be the case when I have no issues with this using Fedora or SUSE
[19:03] <speedbird> nickrud ok now i m in status
[19:04] <nickrud> speedbird, upper left, there's Installed (local or obsolete) , select that
[19:04] <eckesicle> Goupil418, Do you have ubuntu now?
[19:04] <randorfer> fantum13:  yeah sorry I was going to give advice but it is 32bit specific (patched atheros driver -- not available for 64bit yet), I've never delt with the 64 bit problems
[19:04] <lostsanity> ok.. Xorg and konversation are at the top
[19:04] <Goupil418> eckesicle: yep update and running
[19:04] <eckesicle> Goupil418, excellent. Mission accomplished
[19:04] <lostsanity> nothing seems to stand out too much though?
[19:04] <speedbird> nickrud ok selected now
[19:04] <Iolaus> Can anyone tell me if there are repositories that maintain more bleeding edge packages for things like x.org, alsa, mesa, etc or is the only way to test them to build them from source?
[19:05] <Goupil418> eckesicle: I love the open source over here it's great
[19:05] <nickrud> speedbird, do you see the same packages on the right that is in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50884/
[19:05] <charles87> Iolaus: try compiling from source ;)
[19:05] <eckesicle> !backports | Iolaus
[19:05] <ubotu> Iolaus: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging
[19:05] <mular> man ubuntu's support really rocks, I just compiled my first program from source with help of the forums.... so nice to be able to do this stuff on your own :)
[19:05] <speedbird> nickrud let me check
[19:06] <gob1029> hey all, i've got a quick question regarding running a script on start-up
[19:06] <cvasilak> anybody having an atheros 5418 chipset and how he make it work under ubuntu. i tried the latest svn madwifi drivers it loads successfully but cannot associate with the wireless access point so dhclient canot acquire an ip address
[19:06] <Iolaus> eckesicle: thanks for the info
[19:06] <corinth> I have a buddy who wants a script he created to run on startup. He needs su permissions for this, though. How can he set it to run at startup with su permissions?
[19:06] <eckesicle> Goupil418, indeed. If you want to learn your system well. Hang around here. Listen to what people say. Try to help other people. Join the forums. Start writing your own scripts. For instance, maybe you want to have a smart system that backups your home folder every night? How would you do that? Google and find out!
[19:06] <mular> whenever you compile something from source, I thought you should always move the original stuff that you extract from the .tar over to /usr/src ? Also to be able to remove it again later I should save all that stuff in there right? (installed via checkinstall
[19:07] <Fuse1921> Can anybody asist with installation at all?
[19:07] <speedbird> nickrud : now its just delugue torrent and easy ubuntu
[19:07] <eckesicle> Iolaus, you're welcome
[19:07] <indigo196> I am looking for guidance on a boot problem with Ubuntu 64bit. The system will not boot unless I remove quiet and splash from the Grub Menu.list
[19:07] <nickrud> mular, I usually have a src dir in my home dir, do all my compiling there
[19:07] <sverige> can anyone help me get openoffice work with ati card?
[19:07] <eckesicle> Fuse1921, installation of ubuntu?
[19:07] <nickrud> speedbird, oh, you installed easyubuntu !!
[19:07] <Goupil418> eckesicle, ahhh that's really good thanks for the info ^_^what is the forums www?
[19:07] <eckesicle> sverige, did it not work with the new drivers?
[19:08] <eckesicle> !forums | Goupil418
[19:08] <ubotu> Goupil418: The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums.
[19:08] <mular> nickrud, ah thats a good idea so that way you don't have to use sudo.. so if I was to move my src folder I would still be able to remove the programs down the road ?
[19:08] <KotBehemot> hello
[19:08] <KotBehemot> i have a problem with ubuntu
[19:08] <speedbird> nickrud yeah i did .. and honestly don't know what it is :p
[19:08] <KotBehemot> i can' see alsaconf
[19:08] <KotBehemot> ?
[19:08] <sverige> which one are you talking about the restricted drivers or the drivers from ati homepage?
[19:08] <Mexicant> How do I identify the (hdx,y) of my harddrive?
[19:08] <Goupil418> eckesicle, nice thanks ^_^
[19:08] <nickrud> mular, yes, if the developer created an uninstall option for make, so you'd change into the dir you compiled in then run sudo make uninstall
[19:09] <ssorel> x is equal to the partition number
[19:09] <mular> thanks nickrud !
[19:09] <ssorel> So if windoze is the beggining then its lets say hda1
[19:09] <mular> does moblock work with firestarter?
[19:09] <Fuse1921> ecksicle: yes, i have the image burned onto a disk, i have tried both the Live CD and the Alternate CD. I put it in my drive, press the right 'F' key on startup to get to the boot menu, and when i select my boot from Onboard CD Drive it says theres no media. It only happens with Ubuntu. I have succesfully done it with Fendora though.
[19:09] <ssorel> And your second partition is maybe linux swap hda2
[19:09] <randorfer> cvasilak if no one has helped you you could try /join #madwifi , they may be able to help you better
[19:09] <ssorel> and your /  <--root partition maybe hda3
[19:09] <lostsanity> well like i said nothing really stands out as far as resource usage..
[19:10] <eckesicle> Fuse1921, did you download the LiveCD?
[19:10] <nickrud> speedbird, it's a thing that helps you install stuff, you may have used that to install beryl. But anyway, if you don't see beryl there , do   sudo apt-get update , and pastebin that. It'll show some more info about your repos
[19:10] <corinth> How can I set a program/file to run at startup with su permissions?
[19:10] <Arelis_> Does anybody know how i can get the OLD version of Flash? Konqueror doesn't support the new one.
[19:10] <Fuse1921> eckesicle: it works in a VMware boot but not at start-up, I'm totally stuck.
[19:10] <randorfer> KotBehemot you cant see alsaconf?  did you try locate alsaconf (after sudo updatedb)
[19:10] <Goupil418> eckesicle, so what is the best programming language to start an OS or just to modify one?
[19:10] <speedbird> nickrud : ok hold on doing it now
[19:11] <eckesicle> Goupil418, C or C++
[19:11] <KotBehemot> randorfer: yeah
[19:11] <corinth> Arelis_, If you wait 6 days for KDE 4.0, the new konqurer supports it :-P
[19:11] <KotBehemot> randorfer: and there is no alsaconf
[19:11] <Mexicant> How do I identify the (hdx,y) of my harddrive? And if it is a SATA, would it be sda1?
[19:11] <Goupil418> eckesicle, is it hard to learn?
[19:11] <Rezagrats> With Gutsy Gibbon do i have to modify the GRUB thing for dual-boot ?
[19:11] <Arelis_> corinth: KDE 4 is 4.0.0 and very incomplete.
[19:11] <corinth> Arelis_, I know, I know.
[19:11] <Arelis_> corinth: the official developers are saying that
[19:11] <aram> can anyone help how can i install traceroute package for terminal
[19:11] <eckesicle> Fuse1921, Did you check so that the CDROM is not corrupt?
[19:12] <ssorel> MexicanT
[19:12] <ssorel> It would be sda
[19:12] <eckesicle> Goupil418, well have you done any programming?
[19:12] <randorfer> KotBehemot, hmmm, sudo apt-get alsa-utils (I think thats the buntu package)
[19:12] <Arelis_> corinth: and i am not using hardy..
[19:12] <ssorel> sda1   <--  partition one of SATA drive
[19:12] <Arelis_> corinth: any other solution, though? :)
[19:12] <ssorel> sda2
[19:12] <ssorel> sda3
[19:12] <ssorel> ETC
[19:12] <Rezagrats> Also whats the name for the thing i can windows programs in ?
[19:12] <Goupil418> eckesicle, I tried but I failed
[19:12] <KotBehemot> randorfer: but it is installed
[19:12] <ssorel> rez   +   wine
[19:12] <ssorel> Rezagrats its wine
[19:13] <Rezagrats> Oh
[19:13] <ssorel> the windows emulator
[19:13] <dn4> www.maps.google.com will now show anything any ideas?
[19:13] <randorfer> KotBehemot, if you cant find it with locate after doing sudo updatedb then its not on you system?
[19:13] <speedbird> nickrud : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50887/
[19:13] <Fuse1921> eckesicle: I ran the Check Integrity thing within my VMPLayer and it said it was fine, but is there a diffrent way just to double check?
[19:13] <eckesicle> Goupil418, it's not easy. I learned C++ in 3 weeks on my own with the help of a book I bought. But you learn new things every day
[19:13] <randorfer> KotBehemot it should be located in /sbin/
[19:13] <redspike> can i upgrade to a newer kernel i ubuntu 6.06 ?
[19:13] <KotBehemot> randorfer: yeah it is not but synaptics says that i have installed alsa-utils
[19:13] <eckesicle> Goupil418, I recommend buying a book or taking a class
[19:13] <Rezagrats> With Gutsy Gibbon do i have to modify GRUB for dual-boot ? is it necessary ?
[19:13] <randorfer> KotBehemot it should be located in /usr/sbin/*
[19:13] <Mexicant> ssorel, i have 1 SATA, and I am editting the /boot/grub/menu.lst. How would I enter the sda into the boot menu?
[19:13] <KotBehemot> randorfer: one sec
[19:13] <aram> can anyone help how can i install traceroute package for terminal
[19:13] <Mexicant> join #grub
[19:13] <Mexicant> sry
[19:14] <Goupil418> eckesicle, that's nice! I'll do for sure I just need to know where to take a class because I don't know exactly where to start in programming
[19:14] <ssorel> yes, you can rez.
[19:14] <ssorel> However it should usually be done automatically with gutsy
[19:14] <ssorel> Didnt show up on bottom of grub list?
[19:14] <nickrud> speedbird, it looks like you have the standard stuff. Do   COLUMNS=255 dpkg -l '*beryl*'
[19:14] <eckesicle> Fuse1921, it does not seem to be an error with ubuntu if it says media not present.
[19:14] <nickrud> speedbird, and paste that
[19:14] <Kleggen> aram: sudo aptitude install traceroute
[19:14] <speedbird> nickrud ok
[19:15] <corinth> No one knows how to get a program to run with su permissions at startup?
[19:15] <aram> Kleggen: thanks a lot
[19:15] <eckesicle> Goupil418, your local college or university will definitely offer courses. MIT has several programming courses online. But buying a book is probably the easiest way
[19:15] <Fuse1921> eckesicle: thanks anyway
[19:15] <Arelis_> corinth: any other solution, though? :)
[19:15] <randorfer> corinth put it into the init scripts?
[19:15] <eckesicle> corinth, put it in startup scripts
[19:15] <batoms> when i plug in my medial player (iriver s10) it shows up in nautilus but i get an access denied error
[19:15] <batoms> it doesn't show up in /media
[19:16] <corinth> eckesicle, A small walk-through, please?
[19:16] <batoms> i'm in the plugdev group already
[19:16] <speedbird> nickrud : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50888/
[19:16] <Goupil418> eckesicle, yeah I'm better at reading than going to classes everyday
[19:17] <Goupil418> eckesicle, do you know if there's a good website for learning C and C++? a complete one?
[19:17] <eckesicle> !initd | corinth
[19:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about initd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:17] <nickrud> speedbird, according to that you have only ubuntu stuff (should have done this a while ago, got locked into the idea that the script downloaded from somewhere else)  For sure, do  apt-cache policy beryl , and pastebin that
[19:17] <corinth> Heh. Nice try :-P
[19:17] <arizalord> last ATI driver is by default in restricted controlers?
[19:18] <lostsanity> so.. then might it have anything to do with running the 64-bit thinger? sorry if that's completely irrelevant, but as you probobly see by my use of the word "thinger" i'm a bit of a noob
[19:18] <eckesicle> !init.d | corinth
[19:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about init.d - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:18] <batoms> and doing a mount -a /dev/sda /somedir works
[19:18] <eckesicle> grrr.
[19:18] <speedbird> nickrud ok
[19:18] <Goupil418> hehe
[19:18] <eckesicle> corinth, hold on i think there's a policy in this channel for how to mess around with the startup scripts
[19:18] <ssorel> all your taco are belong to us

[19:19] <eckesicle> found it!

[19:19] <speedbird> nickrud http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50890/
[19:19] <d0lph1nK1ng21> can i virtually and natively boot Ubuntu from another partition on the same disk?

[19:20] <eckesicle> !repeat | arizalord
[19:20] <ubotu> arizalord: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[19:20] <nickrud> speedbird, lines 6 & 7 confirm you have that package from ubuntu. You can repeat that   apt-cache policy    command for each package in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50888/ to confirm the rest if you like
[19:20] <eckesicle> arizalord, yes
[19:21] <nickrud> arizalord, no, 8.37.6 is in ubuntu, the latest is 8.44.3
[19:21] <eckesicle> aram: Install windows first. Make a D drive that is large so that you may fit ubuntu on it
[19:21] <speedbird> nickrud each package of what man ... i dont exactly know what i m doing right now .. i just want to uninstall beryl :s
[19:22] <arizalord> nickrud, thx... do you know how i can install it?
[19:22] <jinxed-> eckesicle, could you help me with some resolution issues?
[19:22] <eckesicle> !dualboot | aram

[19:22] <speedbird> nickrud : can i uninstall them from synaptic ?
[19:22] <nickrud> speedbird, you're good to go. in synaptic, search (ctl-f) for beryl, and mark the found packages for removal (click the green box to choose remove)
[19:22] <Goupil418> eckesicle, would you know any good websites for learning C and C++? a complete one by chance?
[19:22] <indigo196> I am looking for guidance on a boot problem with Ubuntu 64bit. The system will not boot unless I remove quiet and splash from the Grub Menu.list
[19:23] <Arelis_> !flash
[19:23] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[19:23] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[19:23] <eckesicle> Goupil418, ask in c++
[19:23] <speedbird> nickrud : thanks man doing it now :)
[19:23] <eckesicle> Goupil418, ask in #c++
[19:23] <Goupil418> cool thanks!
[19:23] <randorfer> goupil418 http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~hasti/cs368/CppTutorial/index.html
[19:23] <nickrud> speedbird, first thing I was doing was looking for how you got the stuff installed so it wouldn't get automatically reinstalled, since you're using ubuntu ones regular tools will do the job
[19:23] <eckesicle> !ask | jinxed-

[19:23] <nuckinfuts> hello, im having a serious issue booting into a new system, screen goes black after loading screen, this happens with the LiveCD and now after i installed using the text installer, the video card are Two nVidia 8600GT's connected in SLI

[19:25] <DWonderly> how do I check if I am using XGL or AIGLX?
[19:25] <Palthron> Hello, anybody familiar with GtkFileSplitter? I'm splitting a 4GB file and it's been running for 3 hours. Is this normal? (512MB memory)
[19:26] <ZiNC2^6> Palthron: Single HDD?
[19:26] <speedbird> nickrud i found 31 packages when i searched for beryl .. should i uninstall all of them ? or the ones with names starting with beryl ?
[19:26] <randorfer> DWonderly check you /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see if it says xgl or aiglx?
[19:26] <Palthron> Zinc2^6 : Yes single HDD
[19:26] <nuckinfuts> no one else getting a black screen on nvidia 8 series cards? fresh install
[19:27] <nickrud> speedbird, most of those probably aren't green, you should only see 9 with the green box
[19:27] <speedbird> ok
[19:27] <corinth> randorfer, eckesicle, Worked, thanks!
[19:27] <charle> buona sera
[19:27] <ZiNC2^6> Palthron: I'm not familiar with Ubuntu at all, but it sound exaggerated either way. I suppose splitting from and to the same drive if you don't have DMA enabled for the HDD can take quite a while, but not 3 hours.
[19:27] <eckesicle> corinth, you're welcome
[19:27] <nickrud> speedbird, based on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50888/ , the ones starting with ii are installed
[19:28] <speedbird> nickrud i have 12 with green box
[19:28] <randorfer> corinth, glad it worked for you!
[19:28] <ZiNC2^6> Palthron: Does the HDD crunch a lot? Is there a progress indicator?
[19:28] <xerxes1358> How do I install aMSN
[19:28] <Palthron> ZiNC2^6 : OK I will research about DMA. I think this is true since my CPU load is kept under 50% the whole time (Not CPU load related). Thanks!
[19:28] <ConstyXIV> xerxes1358: add/remove, search for amsn
[19:28] <nickrud> speedbird, find the packages that you see in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50888/ ,then tell me the extra ones
[19:28] <speedbird> nickrud
[19:29] <xerxes1358> ConstyXIV, there is no aMSN there
[19:29] <Palthron> Zinc : Nope, disk activity seems normal
[19:29] <ZiNC2^6> Palthron: Maybe that software is just buggy for >4GB files.
[19:29] <speedbird> nickrud .. ok looking for them
[19:29] <arizalord> nickrud, do you know some how-to to install the lastest ATI driver?
[19:29] <randorfer> xerxes1358 apt-cache search amsn and then apt-get intsall the corresponding result
[19:29] <ConstyXIV> xerxes1358: next to the search bar, toggle the "show" box to "all available"
[19:29] <fantum13> xerxes1358: Are you searching through all possible applications, or do you have certain repositories disabled?
[19:29] <nickrud> arizalord, I used http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide , carefully!
[19:30] <Palthron> Zinc : I cannot find any other alternative that can be joined in Windows so I'm stuck for now.
[19:30] <nuckinfuts> scouring the forums for this issue and finding zilch
[19:30] <ZiNC2^6> Does anyone know what files I need to boot a Ubuntu 7.10 from within an ISO on FAT thru grub4dos?
[19:30] <ZiNC2^6> Palthron: If it's just splitting, anything will do I suppose.
[19:30] <arizalord> it runs without problems?
[19:31] <randorfer> ZiNC2^6, I guess my question would be if you are going to have linux on your box why install grub4dos?
[19:31] <Flare183> How can I setup Kontact/KMail to where I can read and send my email through my yahoo mail?
[19:31] <nickrud> arizalord, I'll use the standard for stuff that isn't in the repos, Works for Me™
[19:31] <ZiNC2^6> randorfer: No dedicated partition, etc. It's not as primary OS, of course.
[19:31] <randorfer> ZiNC2^6, scratch that, read the rest of your question
[19:31] <Palthron> Zinc : I'm splitting in gnome and joining the file in Windows. A compressor would waste time compressing the data first

[19:33] <arizalord> nickrud, thx so much... i'll try it!
[19:33] <ZiNC2^6> Palthron: Just copy /b 1+2+3+4 out
[19:33] <nickrud> speedbird, yes
[19:33] <Flare183> nickrud: any idea on how to make yahoo mail work on ubuntu (you know through an email client)?
[19:33] <Palthron> Zinc : In Windows?
[19:33] <ZiNC2^6> Palthron: Yes. Linux should have something similar.

[19:33] <jinxed-> Can someone help me fix my screen resolution and get dual monitors working properly. I have a 16X PCI-Express NVIDIA Geforce Go 6600 128 MB video card and my comp montior is 15.4" WSXGA TFT LCD 1680x1050, and i have a 19'' lcd fuji montior as my second monitor

[19:34] <randorfer> ZiNC2^6 I guess I just re-read you question and actually read why it said not what I thought it said ;-)
[19:34] <Flare183> nickrud: i'm talking about using like hotway or something like tthat

[19:35] <eckesicle> nuckinfuts, what is your question?
[19:35] <fantum13> Has anyone had any success connecting to wireless networks using ndiswrapper on an AR5007EG on gutsy? The forums are filled with people with this bug, and so far I haven't had any luck finding it...
[19:35] <ZiNC2^6> eckesicle: Might be wc
[19:35] <nuckinfuts> black screen on bootup or GUI install, no text prompt, video cards are 2 8600GT in SLI
[19:35] <eckesicle> nuckinfuts, did you try the alternate cds?
[19:36] <randorfer> fantum13 you should add that its dealing with the 64 bit version, that is very applicable to your question
[19:36] <jinxed-> Does anyone know how I can use NVIDIA card to configure graphics??
[19:36] <Flare183> nuckinfuts: incompatible hardware
[19:36] <nickrud> speedbird, sorry about the long way around, but surgery on someone else's machine remotely is something to take time on :)
[19:36] <Palthron> Zinc : It worksssss yeeeeaaaah :D thanks

[19:38] <Ben> ok thanx :)
[19:38] <nickrud> Ben, yup, the only real rules is patience, family friendly language, and don't paste in the channel :)

[19:38] <MisterChief> I read somewhere that after trying to install beryl if it won't load properly, there was a command to reset it all - does anyone know what that is?
[19:38] <eckesicle> nuckinfuts, let's you run modprobe
[19:38] <Flare183> eckesicle: nl is the command you can use to find the number of lines in a file

[19:39] <eckesicle>  http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[19:39] <jinxed-> alright
[19:39] <randorfer> misterchief explain your question a little more, do you mean that you tried loading up the beryl window manager and it crashed / didn't work well now you need to get back to metacity?  if that is the case alt + f2 and then  type metacity --replace
[19:39] <jinxed-> will give it a shot
[19:40] <eckesicle> jinxed-, good luck
[19:40] <nuckinfuts> eckesicle, alright i'll give it a shot
[19:40] <Flare183> MisterChief: dude beryl is dead
[19:40] <eckesicle> nuckinfuts, then modprobe vga_generic

[19:40] <Ben> Well I have a PC Laptop and have been trying to find some info on triple booting ubuntu xp and osx. All I find are tutorials for macintels. I want to know if those tutorials would work with pc the same or is there different procedures for pc's. Also what is the best bootloader for doing so.. would grub that comes with ubuntu be ok?
[19:40] <eckesicle> or generic_vga cant remember name exactly. will check it out
[19:40] <Generic> your kinky
[19:41] <MisterChief> That's probably why it won't work then
[19:41] <Goupil418> eckesicle, thanks for everything eckesicle ^_^
[19:41] <Palthron> Erm DMA solved
[19:41] <nickrud> Palthron, google to the rescue, I bet
[19:41] <Flare183> Ben: no possible
[19:41] <Flare183> not*

[19:43] <orionjoe> is there a key command for it?
[19:43] <Palthron> Zinc : Yes, figured that out a while ago. But in my case, hdb1 (Primary slave)
[19:43] <Ben> piracy? who said its pirated?
[19:43] <kbrooks> fantum13, it is illegal to run Mac OS X on a PC last i heard
[19:43] <mavi-> no its not
[19:43] <ZiNC2^6> Palthron: Well, the general idea. :)
[19:43] <unknown512> I cant get to the desktop on Ubuntu, the Startx command will not work, i installed without using a disk
[19:43] <randorfer> fantum13 ben it is against the eula of mac to do so, thus illegal
[19:43] <Thorsten11> Hi all, I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.  I am running server 7.10 and just bought a samsung ml 2510.  I have no idea why i cannot get this printer to be recognized in webmin, anyone have an idea?
[19:43] <Flare183> orionjoe: ctl + escape i think
[19:44] <UBUNTUISLOVED> how can i setup PDF printer its not listed even thought i installed cups-pdf
[19:44] <Ben> so its legal to run xp on mac?
[19:44] <nuckinfuts> eckesicle, it sent me to a small bash that didnt have my keyboard driver loaded yet
[19:44] <Flare183> Ben: yeap
[19:44] <kbrooks> Ben, it's legal to, yes
[19:44] <orionjoe> no, didn't work...
[19:44] <randorfer> ben yes it is because the xp eula is ok with that
[19:44] <fantum13> kbrooks: Do you call piracy on anyone who tries to run XP in a virtual machine? That's "illegal" too.
[19:44] <Flare183> Ben: but not the other way around
[19:44] <mavi-> anyway, installing osX is probably a topic for the OT channel
[19:44] <kbrooks> fantum13, not illegal
[19:44] <Ben> ok well i'll just scratch that idea lol
[19:44] <unknown512>  I cant get to the desktop on Ubuntu, the Startx command will not work, i installed without using a disk
[19:44] <randorfer> fantum13, no because that is not illegal, ie not against the eula
[19:44] <Flare183> unknown512: gdm
[19:44] <Ben> ok so i have another question about grub anyway
[19:44] <Palthron> All DMA active, so i guess i'll try some other splitter software (or upgradeeee)
[19:45] <orionjoe> because my comp froze earlier and i had to shut it down
[19:45] <unknown512> gdm?
[19:45] <osfameron> right... I'm opening gui applications from xubuntu launcher menus... and they aren't opening.   You don't have a generic keyboard...

[19:45] <eckesicle> !language | eckesicle
[19:45] <unknown512> sorry im a linux newb =O
[19:45] <UBUNTUISLOVED> how can i setup PDF printer its not listed even thought i installed cups-pdf
[19:45] <unknown512> whats GDM
[19:45] <jinxed-> eckesicle, hey i am not sure what to do about the guide because I have two monitors
[19:45] <Kubuntu-Gregg> hi - im using pan newsreader and it starts out downloading at a great speed and eventualy tails off till nothing is comming - restarting begins the process over again -- what can i do to resolve this and achieve proper download speeds
[19:45] <kbrooks> eckesicle, dont abuse the bot please
[19:45] <Ben> so i already have xp and ubuntu dualbooting... I dont like how grub is so plain and would like a more graphical version. Is there one? and if so I dont know how to change the default booting os
[19:45] <puff> Every now and then, my alt-tab stops working.
[19:45] <nuckinfuts> eckesicle, nope.. Logitech G15, i'll dig out my 10-year-old PS/2
[19:45] <Flare183> unknown512:gnome display manager
[19:46] <unknown512> I installed gnome
[19:46] <Palthron> Zinc : 4.6GB, beyond the FAT32 boundaries. But i'm using ext3
[19:46] <eckesicle> kbrooks, :) Says Mr. I think Grub is piracy
[19:46] <randorfer> Ben:  you can add splash images etc ...
[19:46] <unknown512> when i run the startx command it says im missing a directory
[19:46] <orionjoe> so is there a way to access GDM when your comp is frozen?
[19:46] <Ben> randorfer: really?
[19:46] <ZiNC2^6> Palthron: So my current idea would be that software having trouble with >4GB files.
[19:46] <kbrooks> eckesicle, running grub is not pirating
[19:46] <eckesicle> nuckinfuts, yeah it's probably faster than any workaround
[19:46] <NelsonUWP> can I change partition size?
[19:46] <rgnr> i made an executable and now i cannot execute it
[19:46] <randorfer> ben yes, really look at your menu.lst and read the comments ;-)
[19:46] <eckesicle> jinxed-, okay hold on

[19:46] <jinxed-> eckesicle, alrighty
[19:46] <JC_Denton_>  Is there a vnc implementation for ubuntu that allows the server to contact the client?
[19:46] <TigranG> orionjoe: can you do ctrl+alt+f1 and then restart gdm?
[19:46] <rgnr> the file is owned by root

[19:47] <Ben> randorfer: nice and does it give instructions on changing default os?
[19:47] <unknown512> It says im missing the directory /etc/X11/X
[19:47] <Palthron> Zinc : Maybe, i'm googling for an alternative as i speak (erm... type :D )
[19:47] <NelsonUWP> what's a better program gparted or qtparted?
[19:47] <rgnr> and i got a lock evblem on it
[19:47] <eckesicle> nuckinfuts, now for the problem, i don't remember what the generic vga driver is called
[19:47] <Flare183> !best
[19:47] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there.
[19:47] <rgnr> HEEEEEEELP!
[19:47] <JC_Denton_> scguy318: On windows I use realvnc to let the server connect to the client
[19:47] <Flare183> !ask | rgnr
[19:47] <randorfer> Ben yes, if you cant understand what it is saying though ask back here and I will try to walk you through it
[19:47] <ubotu> rgnr: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[19:48] <ZiNC2^6> Palthron: Try RAR.
[19:48] <eckesicle> nuckinfuts, maybe try modprobe vesa ?
[19:48] <nuckinfuts> eckesicle, i thought it was called VESA, but the forum says pixx
[19:48] <unknown512> It says im missing the directory /etc/X11/X whenever i try to run the startx command
[19:48] <JC_Denton_> scguy318: it's because of both being behind a router and only one being configured properly - the client side
[19:48] <nuckinfuts> eckesicle, piix*
[19:48] <ZiNC2^6> Palthron: Never used it on Linux, but there's a binary for it, apparently. And you can set compression to "Store", then just use it as a splitter.
[19:48] <Palthron> Zinc : erm... from rarlab?
[19:48] <Sea-light> hello:)
[19:48] <ZiNC2^6> Palthron: Yes.
[19:48] <randorfer> unknown512 pastebin you ~/.xinitrc file
[19:48] <eckesicle> nuckinfuts, i think piix is only for intel but try it
[19:48] <Ben> randorfer: thanks i'll go aheady and try... but im on xp so i'll have to come back
[19:48] <unknown512> ?
[19:49] <Palthron> Zinc : not free nor opensource :(
[19:49] <unknown512> sorry Randorfer, im a lunix newb, i dont understand a lot of the terms yet
[19:49] <Flare183> Palthron: rar is free
[19:49] <randorfer> go to a command line and type gedit ~/.xinitrc file and pastebin it
[19:49] <nuckinfuts> eckesicle, piix and vesa both gave me module not found
[19:49] <randorfer> !paste
[19:49] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[19:49] <ZiNC2^6> Palthron: Hmm... maybe p7zip then.
[19:49] <unknown512> k thanks ill give it a try
[19:49] <nuckinfuts> eckesicle, i'm gonna try nv
[19:49] <MisterChief> I'll try rephrasing my question, I wrote it really badly last time XD : I tried downloading beryl (I was unaware at the time) but it didn't work, now that I try to boot up the computer it will only run in Low graphics mode with only terminal commands working, how can I fix this back to normal?
[19:49] <Palthron> Flare : It says Trial on the download page
[19:50] <Flare183> !rar | Palthron
[19:50] <ubotu> Palthron: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[19:50] <nuckinfuts> eckesicle, nv is the open source nvidia driver which also was not found
[19:50] <Flare183> !info rar | Palthron

[19:50] <randorfer> MisterChief sudo Xorg -configure on a commandline then ctrl + alt + backspace should do the trick
[19:50] <Flare183> Palthron: see?
[19:50] <orionjoe> ok, i did ctrl+alt+f1 but didn't know how to get back to gui, so i restarted...
[19:50] <dgjones> nuckinfuts, there seems to be a suggestion that installing nvidia-glx-new will solve the problem with your nvidia 8600gts - see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=586536&highlight=nvidia+8600gts as an example
[19:50] <ZiNC2^6> !info grub4dos
[19:50] <ubotu> Package grub4dos does not exist in gutsy
[19:50] <randorfer> MisterChief after copying the file that Xorg -configure created to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:50] <eckesicle> nuckinfuts, hmmm. Okay. Are we sure it's the graphics cards?
[19:51] <orionjoe> that was fun :P
[19:51] <Palthron> Flare : Hooo not RAR from rarlab... searching now, thx!
[19:51] <MisterChief> Okay thanks randorfer
[19:51] <Flare183> Palthron: no problem
[19:51] <TigranG> orionjoe: login in and then do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[19:51] <eckesicle> nuckinfuts, are they even detected? try lspci | grep nvidia
[19:51] <laptop_> I have an ATI video card and my comp always freezes, whats the fix?
[19:51] <randorfer> MisterChief, you should backup your old xorg.conf before you overwrite it also
[19:51] <jinxed-> eckesicle, when I did the Twinview thing
[19:51] <orionjoe> what would that do?
[19:51] <jinxed-> and ran gksudo nvidia-settings
[19:51] <Flare183> !who
[19:51] <ubotu> As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[19:51] <jinxed-> it opened something up but there are no config options
[19:52] <nuckinfuts> eckesicle, im assuming so, but the screen goes black so i cant really tell, SSH login doesnt work but idk if sshd is set to startup by default in ubuntu
[19:52] <Skitt> orionjoe, try ctrl + alt + f7 the next time to get back to your X-Desktop
[19:52] <orionjoe> i'm new to linux so using terminal is a little scary for me :p
[19:52] <unknown512> randorfor, i tried that getit thing, and it says theres no such command
[19:52] <xerxes1358> Doesnt Ubuntu recognize external USB drives automatically ?
[19:52] <laptop_> !flash
[19:52] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[19:52] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[19:52] <eckesicle> nuckinfuts, were you on the live cd?
[19:52] <trx> Damn, biiig room!
[19:52] <orionjoe> what does that do skitt?
[19:52] <Flare183> !language > trx
[19:52] <randorfer> unknown512 its gedit
[19:53] <Skitt> you'll get back to the graphical desktop
[19:53] <nuckinfuts> eckesicle, no liveCD blacked out too, i have an install with the text installation CD
[19:53] <unknown512> oooh k
[19:53] <orionjoe> ok, that's good to know
[19:53] <trx> Anyway, anyone use Lucks encrypted root device (installed from the alt installer CD) regularly?
[19:53] <randorfer> unknown512 if it says unknown using that do sudo apt-get install gedit
[19:53] <TigranG> orionjoe: when you do ctrl+alt+f1 login and then do that command I told you, it will get you back to the login screen
[19:53] <fantum13> trx: I do. Do you have a question?
[19:53] <MisterChief> randorfer - whats the command to backup the XOrg.conf?
[19:53] <orionjoe> so what's the key command for GDM in gui?
[19:53] <eckesicle> nuckinfuts, jeez. When does it black out exactly?
[19:53] <orionjoe> oh ok
[19:53] <orionjoe> i should write that down...
[19:54] <randorfer> MisterChief sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
[19:54] <TigranG> ;)
[19:54] <trx> fantum13, Yeah, it seems to only accept my password every X times, where X is random...
[19:54] <nuckinfuts> eckesicle, right after the pretty ubuntu loading progress bar on bootup
[19:54] <NelsonUWP> why does gutsy freeze on me every once in a while?
[19:54] <eckesicle> nuckinfuts, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/5852
[19:54] <unknown512> randorfor, it says it cannot open display
[19:54] <eckesicle> nuckinfuts, could this be it?
[19:54] <fantum13> trx: I've never had issues with it, but I probably haven't used it more than a hundred times. I installed it last week.
[19:54] <TigranG> NelsonUWP: are you using compiz?
[19:54] <randorfer> unknown512 alright try nano instead of gedit
[19:54] <jinxed-> eckesicle, I think I found the problem: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50894/    That happened when i tried to run the nvidia config
[19:54] <fantum13> trx: Do you have boot logging enabled?
[19:54] <trx> fantum13, Sometimes I start my lappy up and type the password at boot... and it boots 1st time. and sometimes I have to try like 20 times and reboot 5 times or so before it accepts the passwd and boots
[19:55] <NelsonUWP> tigrang: ?? how can i tel, i just installed it
[19:55] <fantum13> trx: Are you absolutely sure you're using the right password?
[19:55] <TigranG> NelsonUWP: Do you have the cool effects?
[19:55] <NelsonUWP> tigrang:  no
[19:55] <unknown512> randorfor, ok it opened a big black page
[19:55] <orionjoe> another question: i got a message saying my comp wasn't hibernating, how do i fix that?
[19:55] <unknown512> and it says new file down at the bottem
[19:55] <NelsonUWP> tigrang: i thought it has something to do with my ati card
[19:55] <TigranG> NelsonUWP: Then its not turned on, and idk, I've just heard people have problems with compiz and gutsy
[19:55] <unknown512> what do i do at this point?
[19:55] <randorfer> unknown512 alright type exec gnome-session
[19:56] <trx> fantum13, Definatley... Have even added a 2nd password through the LUCKS tools which is so simpe to double check
[19:56] <Flare183> orionjoe: install hibernate
[19:56] <randorfer> unknown save and exit and now try startx
[19:56] <trx> *simple
[19:56]  * dr_willis thinks that compiz IS a problem. :)
[19:56] <eckesicle> jinxed-, okay. try lspci | grep nvidia
[19:56] <NelsonUWP> !qtparted
[19:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about qtparted - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:56] <orionjoe> easy enough :D
[19:56] <UBUNTUISLOVED> how can i setup PDF printer its not listed in add printers?
[19:56] <orionjoe> ok, thanks :D

[19:56] <orionjoe> i've got some reading up to do about ubuntu so I'll be back with questions :D

[19:57] <UBUNTUISLOVED> ahh
[19:57] <nuckinfuts> eckesicle, i managed to get "recovery mode" booted fine, should i just try to installed the nvidia proprietary drivers? i ahve them on a usb stick
[19:57] <eckesicle> jinxed-, yes do you see anything?
[19:57] <MisterChief> randorfer: I tried the sudo Xorg -configure and then ctrl alt backspace, nothing happened
[19:57] <Flare183> UBUNTUISLOVED: that's you
[19:57] <jinxed-> eckesicle, no
[19:57] <Flare183> UBUNTUISLOVED: you are the user
[19:58] <jinxed-> eckesicle, it didn't give any errors through it just ran and nothing happened
[19:58] <randorfer> MisterChief, Xorg -configure should have told you that it made a file (probably in ~/xorg.conf.new ) you need to move that file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:58] <eckesicle> jinxed okay then ubuntu does not detect your nvidia graphics cards
[19:59] <MisterChief> randorfer: done that
[19:59] <eckesicle> jinxed-, maybe my bad. try to do: lspci -v | grep nvidia
[19:59] <unknown512> randorfor, "cannot stat /etc/X11/X (no such file or directory exists"
[19:59] <randorfer> unknown512 try apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[19:59] <unknown512> k
[20:00] <randorfer> MisterChief pastebin your xorg.conf file
[20:00] <MisterChief> I cant
[20:00] <jinxed-> eckesicle, still nothing... when I go to Administration -> Restricted drivers it has Nvidia
[20:00] <eckesicle> jinxed-, what it does is list all your PCI devices and output them then it filters for nvidia, so if you have no nvidia then no lspci
[20:00] <MisterChief> The computer can't access the internet, it's still in low graphics with only terminal
[20:00] <usr13> Nvidia driver for: [GeForce4 MX 4000] - HowTo?

[20:05] <jinxed-> well fix resolution and get Twinview (dual monitor) working
[20:05] <randorfer> misterchief sigh alright then back to ground one lol
[20:05] <Skitt> lostsanity, they shouldn't be any differences, 64 needs sometimes some extra care if you have to install 32bit things (eg flash)
[20:05] <UBUNTUISLOVED> eckesicle: ok so i added this in cups control panel as a printer where does the file go?
[20:05] <eckesicle> jinxed-, did you follow instructions at ubuntuforums about dual moniors?
