[03:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs-config - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:30] <endo`> DarkMageZ: ok, what is the point of the new versions then?
[03:30] <mon^rch> !ntfs-tools
[03:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs-tools - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:30] <Slart> check those instructions, v.
[03:30] <jan__> hi

[03:31] <ubotu> Found: libntfs-dev, libntfs9, ntfsprogs, libntfs-3g-dev, libntfs-3g0 (and 4 others)
[03:31] <v> oki sure thing
[03:31] <jan__> anyone ever tried to setup a snmpd server on ubuntu ?

[03:31] <Nutubuntu> !anyone
[03:31] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:31] <XaNnE> Can anyone help me with my ATI driver problem?
[03:32] <DarkMageZ> XaNnE, what is the problem?
[03:32] <mon^rch> well... ntfs-config is what you want... it's in the repos
[03:32] <Chore-Boy> hello agian people, i was wondering if there are any diablo2 players out there that use d2hackmap2.24, im having touble opening hackmap through wine, i think it might be having a problem opening notepad, but im not sure, hackmap jsut doesnt open
[03:32] <XaNnE> Whether I auto install or manually install it dumps at some point
[03:32] <hermanandpauline> with audio not muted in alsamixer and audio card detected- how is thee no sound following recent update?
[03:32] <Slart> Chore-Boy: why not ask the wine people.. or they are asleep?
[03:33] <Chore-Boy> slart: that was my next idea... i was looking for you actually
[03:33] <Chore-Boy> lol
[03:33] <DarkMageZ> XaNnE, install what exactly?
[03:33] <Slart> Chore-Boy: hehe.. I don't play diablo II.. so I can't really help you. apart from giving general advice
[03:33] <XaNnE> The ATI driver package
[03:33] <Nutubuntu> If I skip the "Select and install software" step, can I install Feisty and come back to the select-and-install step later somehow using apt-get or aptitude?
[03:33] <wols_> Nutubuntu: yes
[03:34] <ubuntuEdgy> how do i rename a file in the terminal ?
[03:34] <wols_> Chore-Boy: are you palying on bnet?
[03:34] <Nutubuntu> hi wols_ good to see you - how do I get the same set of packages once I've finished the installation and restarted the computer?
[03:34] <wols_> ubuntuEdgy: man mv
[03:34] <ubuntuEdgy> rename /usr/share/vlc /usr/share/vls
[03:34] <Chore-Boy> wols_:yes i am
[03:34] <DarkMageZ> XaNnE, please don't attempt to use the ati drivers from www.ati.com unless you know exactly how to use them. if you wish for better 3d acceleration you can install them via system > administration > restricted drivers manager
[03:34] <ubuntuEdgy> ok
[03:34] <mezziah> ubuntuEdgy: rename <source> <target>
[03:35] <mon^rch> ubuntuEdgy: ren filename newfilename
[03:35] <wols_> Chore-Boy: then don't cheat or warden will hopefully get you
[03:35] <ubuntuEdgy> thank u
[03:35] <mezziah> ren won't work here.. hmm
[03:35] <armadillo> Is there any know issue with sata hard drives amd the latest version of unbuntu?  I can't boot off the live CD if I have my hard drive pluged in, and when I use the alternate CD I get to the part where I am partitioning the hard drive and get the error "input/output error error during read on /dev/sda"
[03:35] <endo`> DarkMageZ: what do I need to do for this settings to take effect?
[03:35] <Chore-Boy> wols_: lol its just maphack :P
[03:35] <Tom47> mezziah try mv instead
[03:35] <XaNnE> brb boot to fiesty
[03:35] <wols_> Nutubuntu: if you want them exactly anyways why do you want to install them not at once? what you do is usually done to not install all the "cruft", ie to get a lean system
[03:36] <DarkMageZ> endo`, either restart the computer or hit ctrl + alt + backspace (which will restart the gui)
[03:36] <jrib> ubuntuEdgy: it's
[03:36] <wols_> Nutubuntu: in which case you don't want to install it just install what you actually need
[03:36] <jrib> ubuntuEdgy: it's 'mv' not 'rename'
[03:36] <endo`> ok, thanks
[03:36] <wols_> Chore-Boy: it's a cheat. a wallhack is just a wallhack and a aimbot is just an aimbot
[03:36] <jrib> !cli > ubuntuEdgy (see the private message from ubotu)
[03:36] <mon^rch> mv and rename will work :/
[03:36] <jrib> mon^rch: rename doesn't work like that
[03:36] <Nutubuntu> wols_ I probably would like a leaner installation, so maybe it's good, but the reason I am not just letting the installation routine install them, is that it's breaking at that point. I don't know why yet.
[03:36] <mon^rch> o, my bad
[03:37] <endo> DarkMageZ: oh my god, thank you SO much man :D
[03:37] <DarkMageZ> endo, np. have fun
[03:37] <wols_> Nutubuntu: e..g the gui you get via aptitude install x-window-syste ubuntu-dektop
[03:37] <wols_> Nutubuntu: e..g the gui you get via aptitude install x-window-syste ubuntu-desktop
[03:37] <wols_> doh!. x-window-system  ubuntu-desktop
[03:38] <endo> now, on to installing xgl/beryl :D
[03:38] <wols_> jrib: does ubuntu have tasksel?
[03:38] <endo> DarkMageZ: where do I start? haha
[03:38] <wols_> !effects | endo
[03:39] <DarkMageZ> endo, i recommend using the ati driver (no not the one from www.ati.com) but the slower opensource driver if you want beryl
[03:39] <ubotu> endo: For help with Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects
[03:39] <jrib> !info tasksel | wols_
[03:39] <ubotu> wols_: tasksel: Tool for selecting tasks for installation on Debian systems. In component main, is important. Version 2.59ubuntu2 (feisty), package size 55 kB, installed size 868 kB
[03:39] <Nutubuntu> t/y wols_ - I see what you mean. I will skip the "Select and install" phase, finish the installation and (if everything else seems OK) choose the packages in aptitude, then. Thanks again.
[03:39] <jrib> wols_: seems to
[03:39] <wols_> jrib: but is ubuntu actually using it, in relationg to what Nutubuntu asks?
[03:39] <jrib> wols_: no idea how well it works in ubuntu
[03:39] <DarkMageZ> endo, the opensource ati driver has aiglx support which is better than using xgl.
[03:39] <endo> DarkMageZ: ok, perfect, how do I go about doing that?
[03:40] <endo> I ran into some serious problems last time
[03:40] <endo> kept getting no composite errors
[03:40] <sx66> my sda3 keeps getting mounted every 23 times...what does that mean?
[03:40] <jrib> wols_: well he can use the minimal install to get a base system and proceed from there, that's another option
[03:40] <Nutubuntu> jrib, wols_ - "tasksel" seems to be what the installation is working on, just before it fails.
[03:40] <koolatron> DarkMageZ: aiglx is slower, i thought?  but less problematic than xgl in any case
[03:40] <DarkMageZ> endo, what ati chip are you using?
[03:40] <endo> Radeon
[03:40] <jrib> Nutubuntu: you verified the cd?
[03:40] <endo> 9600 I think
[03:41] <DarkMageZ> koolatron, correct :)
[03:41] <Nutubuntu> jrib, yes. Verified the CD, the drives, and the cd drive itself ... it's been a long install ;)
[03:41] <v> what the code to force mount in term
[03:41] <jrib> Nutubuntu: does the alternate install fail too?
[03:41] <narthollis> dose ubuntu have a public bug tracker?
[03:41] <jrib> narthollis: bugs.ubuntu.com
[03:42] <narthollis> thanks
[03:42] <DarkMageZ> endo, i'd advise against trying. but if you really have to... goto the restricted drivers manager and disable the propriatory driver. then install beryl. then run beryl.
[03:42] <Nutubuntu> jrib, I am running and failing the alternate install; I have not tried the standard install (because I needed to set up a RAID).
[03:42] <v> whats the command to force mount
[03:42] <v> ?
[03:42] <jbig> i cant install ubuntu on a sata hardisk
[03:42] <endo> DarkMageZ: thats all it takes?
[03:42] <jbig> it seems ubuntu cant recognize sata hardisk
[03:43] <DarkMageZ> endo, solong as everything goes smoothly. i advice against it.
[03:43] <jude> hey people
[03:43] <endo> DarkMageZ: argh, well. Which would be the easiest way going about it? this beryl is a must
[03:43] <endo> DarkMageZ: it
[03:43] <endo> DarkMageZ: it's worth a try anyways I think
[03:43] <darkmarby> !beryl | darkmarby
[03:44] <jbig> any help
[03:44] <jude> can any one tell me how to get the beryl?
[03:44] <jude> ?

[03:44] <cope[dev] > night guys
[03:44] <Johto> jude: read the forums
[03:44] <DarkMageZ> endo, the way i said is the least painful in the long run.

[03:45] <v> Is there a way to change a file system without loosing all data guys?
[03:45] <Johto> ! beryl | johto
[03:45] <wols_> v: gparted. depends from and to what you want to change
[03:45] <WeeJeWel> v, backup everything
[03:45] <endo> DarkMageZ: should I just do that instead of following this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BerylOnFeisty
[03:45] <gingerninja> help
[03:45] <v> thats the thing i cant
[03:46] <v> i want to go from ntfs to fat 32
[03:46] <monkey_> hi
[03:46] <monkey_> anyman
[03:46] <gingerninja> i download from the non free repository
[03:46] <v> i have like 60ggigs of anime, alone :s
[03:46] <v> is there a way Wols or WeejeWel?
[03:46] <xanne> Hey guys I am having a problem where my alt key is virtualy sticking.
[03:46] <WeeJeWel> NTFS cannot be converted to FAT32 without formatting or deleting the partition.
[03:46] <v> Damn
[03:46] <WeeJeWel> -Experts exchange
[03:46] <v> So i copy what i can
[03:46] <ubuntuEdgy> guys why dose vlc open two windows ?
[03:47] <DarkMageZ> endo, that tutorial has failed in some basic considerations... i'd advise following my method.
[03:47] <v> then format right?
[03:47] <Nutubuntu> Tomasz_svk,  can you start mysql? If you can start mysql, you set root password *for the database* (I believe) ... (e.g., "mysql -u root -P password <database-name>" or if running already, "update Users set Password=password('the new password') where User='root';" )
[03:47] <jude> can anyone tell how to get mp3?
[03:47] <WeeJeWel> yes
[03:47] <gingerninja> i cant download the mp3 plugins

[03:47] <jude> k thanks
[03:47] <endo> DarkMageZ: Just install beryl through synaptic?
[03:47] <wols_> endo: is your ati 3D running already or stilff fglrx?
[03:48] <jude>  synaptic where do i go to get this
[03:48] <DarkMageZ> endo, beryl & beryl-manager
[03:48] <wols_> endo: what ati card do you have btw?
[03:48] <endo> wols_: how do I go about verifying that?
[03:48] <endo> sorry, i'm a complete n00b
[03:48] <wols_> jude: it's where you add and remove all your ubuntu programs. that is synaptic
[03:48] <wols_> endo: lspci
[03:48] <Johto> jude: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=349732 <<-- good read
[03:49] <v> Would you agree that FAT32 is the most compatable file system among OS?
[03:49] <endo> wols_: that spit out a lot of information, what do you need to know?
[03:49] <Hirvinen_> No, but it would probably be the most compatible.
[03:49] <WeeJeWel> v, now i read it IS actually possible
[03:49] <DarkMageZ> endo, you can install beryl now, but it won't run until you revert to the opensource ati driver. (by disabling the faster driver in restricted drivers manager)
[03:49] <jbig> i cant install ubuntu on a sata hardisk
[03:49] <wols_> endo: the vga card
[03:49] <v> how!?
[03:49] <v> lol?
[03:50] <v> !
[03:50] <WeeJeWel> try with partition magic
[03:50] <v> Hmm
[03:50] <v> Im backing up anyways
[03:50] <wols_> v: yes,but it's also the worst
[03:50] <WeeJeWel> :-)
[03:50] <v> Partition magic for linux?
[03:50] <v> that exists?
[03:50] <wols_> !enter | v
[03:50] <WeeJeWel> ehh no
[03:50] <Johto> v: no
[03:50] <ubotu> v: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[03:50] <v> oh
[03:50] <WeeJeWel> but since when can linux work on FAT32?
[03:50] <endo> DarkMageZ: ok, so it's not possible to run the accelerated drivers and beryl at the same time?
[03:50] <WeeJeWel> QTparted is a clone though
[03:50] <endo> wols_: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AR [Radeon 9600]
[03:50] <Hirvinen_> WeeJeWel: Since last millennium?
[03:50] <v> ok
[03:50] <wols_> WeeJeWel: it cannot. well it can but umsdos is not supported anymore for a long time
[03:50] <Johto> WeeJeWel: it doesnt "work" on fat32, but can read/write to it safely
[03:50] <WeeJeWel> http://forums.pcworld.co.nz/archive/index.php/t-35970.html
[03:50] <DarkMageZ> endo, you *can* but it's a dirty hack which will hurt you in the long run
[03:51] <WeeJeWel> Johto, the root partition on fat?
[03:51] <WeeJeWel> never saw that before
[03:51] <Johto> WeeJeWel: urgh?
[03:51] <endo> DarkMageZ: am I still going to be able to have my high resolution?
[03:51] <Hirvinen_> v: Oh, Actually I don't know if OS X supports FAT32. At least Tiger wouldn't play with my USB stick when I reformatted it from FAT to FAT32.
[03:51] <Johto> WeeJeWel: no, i think "v" is talking about a filesystem that can be shared with other OS'es ?
[03:51] <DarkMageZ> endo, most likely. you might have to rerun "sudo dpkg-reconfigure" again to resetup the high resolutions.
[03:51] <Johto> v: or what are you trying to acomplish?
[03:52] <endo> DarkMageZ: awesome, i'll write that command down somewhere
[03:52] <xanne> hey i got a key on my keyboard that like to virtually stick any fix?
[03:52] <v> No
[03:52] <v> well yeah
[03:52] <v> the thing is
[03:52] <v> i want to change the ntfs drive to fat 32, it is a removeable disc
[03:52] <DarkMageZ> endo, just remember. if you're using the opensource driver. pick "ati". if you're using the propriatory driver then pick "fglrx"
[03:52] <v> my main drive has 40gigs storage, that has 250
[03:52] <v> i have used 90 or so on it, and its good use not just junk
[03:52] <blahsblah> anybody here has a ipw3945 wifi drivers ? and can help me getting it to work ?
[03:53] <endo> DarkMageZ: perfect, will do. Thanks man
[03:53] <v> so i need to convert without actually having to move em all
[03:53] <v> So the FAT32 will work with most OS's
[03:53] <Nutubuntu> !enter
[03:53] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[03:53] <Johto> v: ok, go to a windows box, install partition magic, convert it there to fat32, case close right?
[03:53] <v> i dont have windows anymore
[03:53] <v> im installing it tnight
[03:53] <v> im gona try qparted
[03:53] <Johto> v: too bad, cant win allways ;:P
[03:53] <wols_> v: you cannot convert a ntfs driver in ubuntu
[03:53] <jrib> Nutubuntu: I don't know, all I can think of is check bugs.ubuntu.com for similar install bugs and try the minimal cd if that doesn't hinder your ability to setup raid

[03:55] <v> i dotn have one
[03:55] <Nutubuntu> t/y jrib ... I think I will try to *end* the installation without installing the software, then manually install what I want using aptitude. If that does not work, I will def try the minimal install next. Does that make sense, jrib? (I ask because I'm relatively new ...)
[03:55] <Johto> v: BUY ONE :D
[03:55] <v> ? no
[03:55] <v> :d
[03:55] <Johto> v: then suffer? :D

[03:56] <Nutubuntu> Mariko[Linux] ,  was the sound ever loud enough, or has it always been too low?
[03:56] <jrib> Nutubuntu: you can try to end the installation, but I think your system will be pretty broken
[03:56] <WeeJeWel> jude, if you dont have a good gfx card
[03:56] <WeeJeWel> or drivers installed

[03:59] <zzuh> Hi, i am trying to install from the alternate cd (7.10) and its just failed after taking about an hours time, press alt+4 the error states: Jun 20 17:47:09 main-menu[3183] : WARNING **:Configuring 'pkgsel' failed with error code 1
[03:59] <v> Then again, i wouldnt be surprised if ur lying, im not exactly in ur good books lol
[03:59] <Johto> v: life is hard =)
[03:59] <endo> DarkMageZ: is AIGLX enabled by default on fiesty?
[03:59] <jrib> ^NighT^WalkeR^: nano  is a good one for beginners
[03:59] <Nutubuntu> Mariko[Linux] ,  have you run alsamixer ?
[04:00] <Johto> v: it would be too boring if everthing was easy =)
[04:00] <DarkMageZ> endo, it should be enabled by default on your particular card on the opensource ati drivers :)
[04:00] <v> I guess
[04:00] <Mariko[Linux] > Yes, Nutubuntu; the master volume stays 00, and cannot be changed, however.
[04:00] <v> But,  it cant be that hard
[04:00] <endo> DarkMageZ: ok, cool. I'm going to give this a try
[04:00] <v> is it easier to do it through wine
[04:00] <v> ?
[04:00] <xanne> DarkMageZ how was I supposed to install the ATI driver again?
[04:00] <jrib> !enter | v
[04:00] <ubotu> v: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:00] <DarkMageZ> xanne, system > admin > restricted drivers manager
[04:00] <v> !enter | jrib
[04:00] <ubotu> jrib: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:01] <xanne> lol KDE translation?
[04:01] <DarkMageZ> xanne, um. try #kubuntu :P
[04:01] <endo> DarkMageZ: after disabling the accelerated card can I do a gui restart, or does it actually have to be a full system reboot?
[04:01] <Nutubuntu> Mariko[Linux] ,  well, that would explain why the volume is low. I don't think I've seen the control "stuck" before though.
[04:01] <xanne> i did they were asleep
[04:01] <DarkMageZ> endo, full system reboot :(
[04:01] <Johto> v: example, i have being doing this converting of my music library to a differend lossless codec just because i switched my desktop to linux ...i have being laboring with this converting stuff from yesterday, it takes time...but heck, its worth it :)
[04:01] <^NighT^WalkeR^> oh... btw... how do i start my gdm up again?
[04:01] <endo> ok, brb then :P
[04:02] <Mariko[Linux] > Nutubuntu: There is, quite literally, no bar at all. It just says 00, and if I hit the up key, nothing happens. That's only the master volume. Anything else I try to set works fine.
[04:02] <Johto> i had many of my albums as ape/cue ...had to convert them finally to flac =)
[04:02] <Torso> well I repeat... Since I have installed the alsa-oss library to be able so play sounds with audacity, I can't open the audio control pannel. why?
[04:03] <donutface> on other unix machines generally ive had a public_html folder in every user directory, then with apache i could just go to http://site/~user, but i see its not like this on ubuntu server, where abouts can i go to activate this?
[04:03] <jude> hey guys can anyone tell me how to get my webcam setup?
[04:03] <kitche> donutface: umm in httpd.conf
[04:04] <v> Meh, screw that, i couldnt be bothered to wait that long
[04:04] <Nutubuntu> Mariko[Linux] ,  I'm wondering if it's an issue with the laptop's onboard sound ... don't know if that's likely or not, nor what to suggest
[04:04] <jude> www. httpd.conf
[04:04] <jude> ?
[04:04] <donutface> kitche, im in apache2.conf, is it to do with the virtual directories?
[04:04] <Decoy> hey there! :]
[04:04] <v> If it cant be done within a day, then dont do it, good motto to have :d
[04:04] <Johto> v: how old are you if i may ask?
[04:04] <Mariko[Linux] > Hmm. Is there any information I could provide to you that might give you a better lead?
[04:04] <v> Have a giuess?
[04:04] <Johto> v: err..under 20 ?
[04:04] <v> Have a more specific guess?
[04:04] <kdubois> whats the irc command to print the welcome message?
[04:05] <Johto> v: nope, thats my guestimate
[04:05] <Torso> noone can asnwer my question?
[04:05] <Mariko[Linux] > kdubois: /motd
[04:05] <donutface> nvm
[04:05] <donutface> found it

[04:15] <cmo-0> i've copied all of the texmf to the home dir of that login, still it can not find the required packages
[04:15] <cmo-0> no
[04:15] <mikeypizano> jrib, i have the packages installed but wont run

[04:15] <cmo-0> kdubois:no

[04:16] <mikeypizano> GSynaptics couldn't initialize.
[04:16] <mikeypizano> You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics
[04:16] <mikeypizano> its not in xorg.conf
[04:16] <kml_> do someone know how to use rdp
[04:16] <jrib> mikeypizano: it tells you what to do, but see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=345192
[04:16] <endo> DarkMageZ: Direct Rendering is enabled but now it says my AIGLX 3d driver claims not to support visual 0x27 and so on
[04:16] <mikeypizano> thank you
[04:17] <Rhynri> My retarded college is forcing me to get a new pc in a few weeks, I want to keep my ubuntu install and programs, but the new pc is quite different in terms of hardware and such.  Is it possible for me to backup the current install and have the new install mount my partitions from an external drive?
[04:17] <endo> :(
[04:17] <DarkMageZ> endo, keep searching the file. it'll probably still say aiglx is enabled furthur down
[04:17] <mikeypizano> jrib, do u have any instant messengers?
[04:17] <wols_> Rhynri: yes. just copy it over. ubuntu is not like windows
[04:17] <jrib> mikeypizano: I don't really use them
[04:17] <mikeypizano> ok no problem
[04:17] <kdubois> cmo-0, are you trying to install it and its not finding the packages, or is it just not finding the configuration files you want?
[04:17] <endo> DarkMageZ: yes, it does. haha thank you for your patients :D
[04:17] <mikeypizano> thanks for the help, cya
[04:18] <Rhynri> wols_ - just had to ask, i mean... just try doing that to a gentoo install.
[04:18] <Rhynri> :D
[04:18] <jrib> !cloning > Rhynri (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:18] <jrib> Rhynri: I would do that and copy over your /home
[04:18] <Rhynri> thanks jrib
[04:18] <endo> DarkMageZ: so what exactly is the point of the accelerated drivers?
[04:19] <Johto> Rhynri: yeah, just make u keep file permissions and stuff
[04:19] <Johto> sure
[04:19] <wols_> Rhynri: it will work if the CPUs are compatible and you didn't overspecialize
[04:19] <wols_> e.g. very custom kernel and such
[04:19] <DarkMageZ> endo, the drivers from restricted device manager (ati's official drivers) are faster @ 3d acceleration. but do NOT support aiglx
[04:20] <Rhynri> wols_ i'm going from a gateway with a celeron M to an Apple with a C2D
[04:20] <endo> DarkMageZ: ah, alright. Well I did the beryl command and now I don't have any titlebars. the terminal reads "reloading options"
[04:20] <lizili> please help me ,how i can install 'xfce4-4.4.1-indstaller.run'in shell ?
[04:21] <DarkMageZ> endo, applications > system tools > beryl manager
[04:21] <v> when i try to install enemy territory i get
[04:21] <wolfeySI> hello guys, could somebody tell me in which init script i can add my own server program so it will load at boot (after all rest is loaded)

[04:21] <endo> woah!
[04:21] <endo> there we go :D
[04:21] <cmo-0> kdubois. i've installed some private latex packages (simply putting them into my home texmf folder tree) and running updmap. now the web login does not find them, so i copied texmf folder to its home dir. still i need to run proper commands under 'web login' to update its configs
[04:21] <endo> yayyyyyy :D:D
[04:21] <endo> thank you SOOOOO much man
[04:21] <v> ?
[04:21] <v> Anyone?
[04:21] <jrib> v: don't paste here, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and provide a link
[04:21] <v> ok
[04:21] <xanne> Hey i am trying to install the ATI driver from the repository but when I open restricted-manager I get a message that says " In order for this computer to function properly, Ubuntu may be using driver software taht cannot be supported"
[04:21] <v> My bad soz
[04:21] <v> But does anyone know btw>
[04:21] <v> ?
[04:21] <DarkMageZ> endo, have fun
[04:21] <jrib> v: and stop using the enter key for punctuation please
[04:21] <Rhynri> xanne - that's normal.
[04:22] <endo> DarkMageZ: I closed the terminal and now the borders are gone again
[04:22] <Rhynri> xanne - are you on 7.04?
[04:22] <wolfeySI> xanne: ati driver is closed source and from extranal source, but you want it ... i cant imagine living without it
[04:22] <wolfeySI> :)
[04:22] <wolfeySI> hello guys, could somebody tell me in which init script i can add my own server program so it will load at boot (after all rest is loaded)
[04:22] <endo> DarkMageZ: I need to have that terminal open?
[04:22] <xanne> es
[04:22] <DarkMageZ> endo, do you see the diamond in your system tray?
[04:22] <endo> DarkMageZ: yeah, its there
[04:22] <xanne> and yes I want it
[04:23] <lizili> please help me ,how can i  install 'xfce4-4.4.1-indstaller.run'in shell ?
[04:23] <xanne> Rhynri I am on 7.04
[04:23] <Johto> wolfeySI: hi, at least with debian, default runlevel was /etc/rc2.d/
[04:23] <DarkMageZ> endo, right click it and in there is an expanding field which gives you the choice between beryl & metacity
[04:23] <wolfeySI> will /etc/init.d/rc.local work?
[04:23] <jrib> lizili: xfce is packaged in ubuntu's repositories.  Is there a reason you are not using the repositories?
[04:23] <DarkMageZ> endo, "select window manager" :P
[04:24] <endo> beryl is checked
[04:24] <DarkMageZ> endo, pick metacity then wait 10 seconds then beryl again
[04:24] <endo> ah, ok
[04:24] <wolfeySI> hmm
[04:24] <Johto> wolfeySI: find out what runlevel is ubuntu, then make ur own symlink to point to a script ..use the naming of symlink same as the other symlinks on the /etc/rc#.d directories, first letter is either K or S ..that means starts or not..then some random number which tells the order they start
[04:24] <endo> there we go!
[04:24] <endo> so sweet
[04:24] <endo> wow, thank you so much man :D
[04:25] <Rhynri> xanne - go here http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Feisty_Installation_Guide
[04:25] <lizili> jrib:,how can i  install 'xfce4-4.4.1-indstaller.run'in shell ?and i have downloaded it today .i want update from 4.40 tp 4.4.1
[04:25] <DarkMageZ> endo, no problem. enoy the effects.
[04:25] <devinci> who speak french ?
[04:26] <jrib> !fr | devinci
[04:26] <ubotu> devinci: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[04:26] <devinci> merci
[04:26] <endo> DarkMageZ: one more question, where is the best place to get some themes!
[04:26] <Rhynri> jrib the bot god strikes again. :D
[04:26] <kdubois> cmo-0, i dont know how much help i'm going to be.. try asking at #latex?
[04:26] <DarkMageZ> endo, what type of themes :P
[04:26] <jrib> lizili: I don't know what the file does, so I don't really know if you will end up with a broken system.  I recommend you stick with the repositories
[04:26] <jude> my pc can't read a DVD can onyone tell me y?? thanks
[04:26] <jrib> !dvd > jude (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:27] <jrib> cmo-0: what do you mean by "web login"?
[04:27] <endo> DarkMageZ: themes for emerald
[04:27] <lizili> jrib:if i double click it i will auto uncompress
[04:27] <cmo-0> i've tried that. IMHO the problem is not related to latex. it is related to how configure certain user (who has no password)
[04:27] <cmo-0> a login created to run a web application
[04:27] <cmo-0> like www-data
[04:27] <DarkMageZ> endo, i personally don't use the emerald engine. so i wouldn't know.
[04:28] <v> Has anyoine here install enemty territory on ubuntu?
[04:28] <endo> DarkMageZ: which engine do you use?
[04:28] <allansv> I
[04:28] <jrib> cmo-0: there must be a way to install the latex packages system-wide, no?  That seems like the best solution
[04:28] <allansv> me =]
[04:28] <DarkMageZ> endo, gtk. (same as metacity)
[04:28] <v> Hey allansv, could you tell me how you done it please?
[04:28] <allansv> i've also installed neverwinter nights
[04:28] <v> Im getting all sorts of problems when tyrying to install it
[04:29] <lizili> jrib: i download it form http://www.xfce.org/,    it's name is   xfce4-4.4.1-indstaller.run
[04:29] <allansv> just a second
[04:29] <endo> ahh, ok. Well thank you so much for your help man
[04:29] <cmo-0> okay jrib. seems one of the chances to get it done. thanks for all
[04:29] <endo> much appriciated
[04:29] <XristinaTv> hi can i ask some questions?
[04:29] <kitche> XristinaTv: just ask your question no need to ask to ask

[04:29] <XristinaTv> how can i set ati drivers in ubuntu ? have problems !
[04:30] <jrib> lizili: like I said, if you don't have a pressing reason to use that version instead of the repository one, it is a lot better to stick with the repositories
[04:30] <v> whats the defaut SU password?
[04:30] <jrib> !ati > XristinaTv (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:30] <jrib> !root > v (see the private message from ubotu)

[04:31] <Rhynri> does 7.04 need a plugin for NTFS?
[04:31] <jrib> v: yes, the page ubotu gave you explains
[04:31] <v> you cant just explain? no, god your like a bot urself
[04:31] <Rhynri> !NTFS
[04:31] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[04:31] <hrehf_> can somebody point me to good info on what partitions i need, what size they hsould be and what fs they should run? Google/rtfm is weak today
[04:32] <jrib> v: I would just be typing what the page says... I don't see the point in that
[04:32] <Rhynri> !ntfs-3g >Rhynri
[04:32] <v> Well ive tried my password and it says authentication failed
[04:32] <hrehf_> (i can't use the guided installer because i need total control over what hd/partitions it uses)
[04:32] <jrib> v: read the page, you need to use sudo, not su
[04:32] <v> ok
[04:33] <XristinaTv> thats not help
[04:33] <wolfeySI> Johto: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/ this helped
[04:33] <jrib> XristinaTv: then you need to be more specific
[04:33] <Johto> wolfeySI: good to hear !
[04:34] <jrib> lizili: try to keep the discussion in the channel, thanks
[04:34] <XristinaTv> if i was a scientist i wouldn ask
[04:34] <allansv> Mine cds and dvds are being mounted as blank media. Does anyone knows why ?
[04:34] <Johto> wolfeySI: it basicly does just what i told you but automaticly :D
[04:35] <jrib> XristinaTv: you need to explain what exactly goes wrong when you follow the page or what exactly does not make sense to you
[04:35] <magnetron> allansv: They are blank?
[04:35] <Johto> wolfeySI: i made it my self on my debian server, made a script in /etc/iniet.f/ ..but called it using symling on /etc/rc2.d/S##something
[04:35] <allansv> no
[04:35] <v> whats the option to replace su -c
[04:36] <v> sudo -c doesnt do it
[04:36] <jrib> v: you aren't reading the page.
[04:36] <magnetron> allansv: You didn't "finalize" them?
[04:36] <allansv> in mandriva everything is fine
[04:36] <allansv> they are video dvds and commond music cds
[04:36] <magnetron> allansv: did you finalize them?
[04:37] <Rhynri> ok, why would gparted not recognize an NTFS partition when its unmounted but have no problem looking at it when it is
[04:37] <allansv> they were bought on stores
[04:37] <v> i dont get it
[04:37] <v> just explain it dude, stop being so stubborn, thats what ur here for right?
[04:37] <allansv> it1s very strange
[04:38] <v> allansv how did you install enemy territory?
[04:38] <wolfeySI> ryushe: you really shouldnt change partition when it's mounted (and possibly in use)
[04:38] <allansv> i've told u in the pvt
[04:38] <wolfeySI> ryushe: it's bad thing to do and possibly dangerous for your data
[04:38] <jrib> v: I'll gladly help you, but you need to be willing to read the documentation: To use sudo on the command line, preface the command with sudo: sudo echo hi
[04:38] <v> i didnt even get a pvt
[04:38] <rambo3> !nvidia
[04:38] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto

[04:39] <allansv> when ubuntu boot's up, even with the dvd driver emptym, a icon is created in the desktop
[04:39] <jrib> lizili: how did you install it?
[04:39] <allansv> i just downloaded it
[04:39] <allansv> and run
[04:39] <allansv> o.o'
[04:39] <Rhynri> nvm, i got it
[04:40] <lizili> jrib:i installed it in shell in GNOME
[04:40] <allansv> after that
[04:40] <v> nvm
[04:40] <Reed_> I am having a lot of problems with installing ubuntu 7.04. When I use the live CD, I get to the 1st load screen, everything goes fine and it just stops at a blank screen. When I use the alternate CD everything will load up until it asks me to select a Screen Resolution. After that it freezes at 6%
[04:40] <v> i need libgtk1.2
[04:40] <v> thats what it is
[04:40] <ShadowXP> how long until the next ubuntu release?
[04:40] <allansv> just update punkbuster
[04:40] <kitche> !enter | allansv
[04:40] <jrib> ShadowXP: october
[04:40] <zmeiat_joro> I have Ubuntu installe, and I tried to install on a partition where I previously had FreeBSD; it installed fine but in the end there was a problem installing GRUB; I added an entry for Debian in the Ubuntu's grub.conf, but it gives me an error 17 (cannot mount selected partition)
[04:40] <haf> ShadowXP, October
[04:40] <ubotu> allansv: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:40] <jrib> lizili: what package did you install?
[04:40] <zmeiat_joro> tried to install Debian*
[04:40] <wolfeySI> Reed_: it could be your monitor (or video card) doesnt like default resolution
[04:40] <allansv> sorry
[04:41] <jrib> v: you understand now?
[04:41] <Reed_> how would I change that wolfey?
[04:41] <Reed_> I can't get it to install through either the Live CD or alternate
[04:41] <lmosher> When a program opens a "open file" dialog window I always see all my .folders in my home directory (normally hidden for commands like ls... etc.) Is there a way to make them default to hidden, because it's really annoying to sort through them...
[04:41] <zmeiat_joro> not menu.conf. menu.lst
[04:41] <zmeiat_joro> emm, nayway
[04:42] <lizili> jrib:i use the order 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop'in shell
[04:42] <DSBassetts> I ran bz2recover and now I have 4847 files from that, what do I do with them?
[04:42] <Johto> lmosher: i have thought that too, if you know let me know :)
[04:42] <Johto> lmosher: i bet its controlled app bases :(
[04:42] <jrib> lizili: ok, and you want to go back to just GNOME?
[04:42] <wolfeySI> Reed_: at boot you'd edit boot line and add vga=some_number like listed here http://wiki.antlinux.com/pmwiki.php?n=HowTos.VgaModes
[04:42] <wolfeySI> Reed_: dunno if that's problem, but it could be.
[04:43] <lizili> and then how to do in gnome /?
[04:43] <jrib> lizili: see http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[04:43] <lizili> jrib:and then how to do in gnome /?
[04:43] <lmosher> Johto, I always though the .files was an interesting way to handle hidden files when linux was mostly text based, but whenever I use GUIs it's a PITA :/
[04:43] <xanne> How can I get Big Desktop to work properly on 2 screens with different aspect ratios?
[04:43] <lokulin> lmosher: have you looked throuh gconf-editor?
[04:44] <lmosher> lokulin, not extensively
[04:44] <lokulin> lmosher: I've wondered the same but not had a chance to investigate :-)
[04:44] <Johto> lmosher: i know :(
[04:44] <lizili> jrib:you mean i can't install xfce in xfce evironment ?
[04:44] <lmosher> lokulin, I'll take a peek
[04:44] <jrib> lizili: didn't you ask how to uninstall xfce?
[04:44] <zendo> Hi. How can I make gnome not to anti-alias fonts in size some range (ie. 0-12) like in KDE?
[04:44] <zendo> Hi. How can I make gnome not to anti-alias fonts in some size range (ie. 0-12) like in KDE?
[04:45] <Reed_> wolfieSI, would it be like vga=0x104 for 1024x1768
[04:46] <Reed_> 0x105**
[04:46] <sek> anyone know how you can get xchat to keep a history of what you type so you can just press the up button to get it back?
[04:46] <lizili> if i can install the new package of xfce4 ,that is better
[04:46] <sek> well so it saves it when you quit
[04:46] <lizili> jrib:if i can install the new package of xfce4 ,that is better
[04:47] <jrib> lizili: but why, what is the essential feature that this provides that the repository version does not?

[04:52] <lmosher> lokulin, man, that's saved me so much grief. Well it's usually not a big deal, I just type the name of the folder I want, but that's so much easier. Thanks!
[04:53] <incorrect> i don't get this slapd is complaining it can't find sasl

[04:55] <jonny> Hello
[04:55] <benmayim> I have ubunty 7.04 server installed in vmware. I don't want to have to use sudo commands all the time. Is there some way to login as root so I don't have to?
[04:55] <sek> wicked, thanks.. it should with dual processor, bought it because its tiny
[04:56] <Jonny> Hey, Im new to Ubuntu, What bittorrent should i use and how do i install it?
[04:56] <sek> sudo su
[04:56] <liquiddoom> !bittorrent | Jonny
[04:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bittorrent - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:56] <radioaktivstorm> how on earth did i manage to turn on the SCIM thing....what does it do and how can i take it out of the tray
[04:56] <helder__> Someone was able to setup the safari with wine?
[04:56] <liquiddoom> Jonny: Er, yeah. Anyways, there is a bittorrent client built in
[04:57] <Jonny> i used to use debian, for like 1 week and it had GNOME Torrent allready on it
[04:57] <Jonny> i just installed Ubuntu and it doesnt seem to have it on it
[04:57] <liquiddoom> Jonny: Ubuntu does have it
[04:57] <helder__> Someone was able to setup the safari with wine?
[04:57] <liquiddoom> Jonny: You have to add it to the menu
[04:57] <Jonny> Ohhh, How would i go around doing that?
[04:57] <liquiddoom> !alacarte | Jonny
[04:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about alacarte - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:57] <BFrank> just use konqueror
[04:57] <liquiddoom> !menu | Jonny
[04:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about menu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:58] <radioaktivstorm> Jonny: try downloading  something thats a .torrent...it just loads  i believe.
[04:58] <magnetron> benmayim: the best way would be to do sudo -s , that would give you a superuser shell
[04:58] <Jonny> oh ok ;p
[04:58] <magnetron> benmayim: enabling the root account is an unnecessary security risk
[04:58] <Dysk> Hello. I've just installed Ubuntu (7.04) and updated it, and seem to have a rather odd issue. I can access all my windows partitions fine, except one folder in one of them - notably, my forty-odd gig music folder. Everything else works fine, just not this one folder. Any suggestions?
[04:58] <liquiddoom> Jonny: Wow, ubotu, you fail.... anyways. Just look in your "menu layouy" and then check the "bittorrent" item
[04:58] <endo> ok, anyone know how to go about updating gaim to pidgin?
[04:58] <liquiddoom> er, layout.
[04:59] <Jonny> Ahhh Yes
[04:59] <Jonny> I Downloaded a .torrent file and it downloads
[04:59] <Jonny> :P
[04:59] <benmayim> magnetron, thx, it will only be a risk while I'm setting up, Idon't plan to keep it that way.
[04:59] <radioaktivstorm> endo, i think youre gonna have to do the fun tar thing.... pidgin doesnt seem to have a .deb yet to my knowledge
[05:00] <CharlieSu> is there a maximum filesize for NFS?
 Only thing I don't like abotu gnome-btdownload is there is no upload cap. If you wanna be a control freak, use something like azuerus
[05:00] <nrdb> Hi I have just found what looks like a memory leak when using Nautilus 2.14.3, when view a directory with a lot of .WMF files a whole lot of memory was allocated, when I closed Nautilus the memory wasn't freed.  Anyone else seen this?
[05:00] <endo> radioaktivstorm: ok
[05:00] <Jonny> Thanks liquiddoom
[05:00] <endo> and I need someone to recommend me a good torrent application
[05:00] <Azul> radioaktivstorm: i recon there is a pidgin in the repositories, but it will ask you to uninstall gaim and nautilus send to
[05:00] <Azul> for some reason
 At the moment I say go with azuerus
[05:01] <radioaktivstorm> hmm lessee
[05:01] <kazol> How do I change the color of the "Applications Places System" panel at the top left?
[05:01] <endo> liquiddoom: awee, really?

[05:01] <Azul> nrdb: interesting observation
 There's a few others
[05:01] <mon^rch> pidgin... as in carrier pidgin? :P
[05:01] <benmayim> I want to install java runtime environment, but it's not on the list of installable packages in add/remove programs, and I don't know how to manually install in Linux. I'm new to linux.
[05:02] <endo> mon^rch: no, the new Gaim
 CLI bittorrent, bittornado, some others... I think ubotu should have a factoid
[05:02] <liquiddoom> !azureus | endo
[05:02] <ubotu> endo: azureus is a popular bittorent client written in Java, installation instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AzureusHowTo

[05:04] <tyler_d> trying to create a new user on an ssh box running 6.06?
[05:04] <nix> hello everyone, anyone know how to convert a bin/cue set to a standard iso?
[05:05] <bulmer> tyler_d: create the user as any regular user, the ssh daemon takes care of the login process
[05:05] <Gnea> nix: apt-get install bchunk
[05:05] <nix> k thanks I'll check that out..
[05:06] <tyler_d> bulmer: whats the command? is it different through ssh? or the same? mind telling me the command?
[05:06] <Gnea> bulmer: new user accounts must be done with administrative rights.
[05:06] <endo> ktorrent obviously isn't going to work in Gnome is it
[05:06] <bulmer> tyler_d man useradd   or    vipw
[05:06] <tyler_d> bulmer: ty
[05:06] <nix> endo: it should work with the kde libs installed...
[05:07] <endo> nix: ah, ok. How do I go about doing that?
[05:07] <nrdb> endo: I am using Konversation at the moment so I think it will work though a lot of dependacies will be installed.
[05:07] <endo> doesn't seem worht it
[05:07] <nix> endo: yup not really unless you really need to work with ktorrent
[05:08] <nix> endo: its a great client though
[05:08] <Gnea> endo: why wouldn't it work in gnome?
[05:08] <mezziah> what wouldn't work in gnome?
[05:09] <endo> nix: I hate azureus
[05:09] <radioaktivstorm> endo, ktorrent should work under gnome if you want to use it. might not match the rest of the gui....but should work fine :P
[05:09] <sek> is ktorrent for kde?
[05:09] <nrdb> Hi I have just found what looks like a memory leak when using Nautilus 2.14.3, when view a directory with a lot of .WMF files a whole lot of memory was allocated, when I closed Nautilus the memory wasn't freed.  Should I report this as a bug ?
[05:09] <mezziah> sek: yes
[05:09] <mezziah> sek: nearly everything that begins with 'k' is a kde app
[05:09] <sek> haha
[05:10] <sek> yeh, should of figured that out by now
[05:10] <mezziah> i'm not kidding :>
[05:10] <Gnea> sek: just like any other kde or gnome app, it only relies on the library files, not the interface itself
[05:10] <nix> endo: me too.. too much of a config beast. ktorrent will work on gnome with all the funtionality. however, the gui may be a bit unpleasent
[05:10] <mezziah> oh right

[05:13] <nrdb> Profquatermass: you need to ask a question
[05:13] <Profquatermass> Ok
[05:13] <Gnea> Tom47: doesn't sound like a wine proces...
[05:13] <olicat> Gnea, someone killed the process after they told me about it :/

[05:15] <Profquatermass> run from CD
[05:15] <olicat> Gnea, no, it's just a firewall, but they're quite open with the access to root passwords - for some reason
[05:15] <Gnea> pihus: use the 'free' command
[05:15] <pihus> hmmm
[05:15] <pihus> it somehow doesn't swapon automatically
[05:15] <v> My dam cd drive is still not working
[05:15] <v> Its jus not responding, and then any program that uses it crashes
[05:15] <Gnea> olicat: morons. *ahem* it's possible that the file was removed already...
[05:15] <v> Any one any ideas
[05:16] <mero_aprendiz> Profquatermass, you should read a lot more about Linux and Ubuntu before you install is...
[05:16] <nrdb> Profquatermass: I haven't run from CD for a while have a look at the options before starting the boot.
[05:16] <Azul> replace it
[05:16] <v> Ive tried absolutely everything :S

[05:16] <Gnea> olicat: lol! check his .bash_history
[05:17] <kitche> olicat: you can do a locate for the file
[05:17] <nrdb> sparrw: you need mod-perl but it should be installed allready.
[05:17] <Gnea> kitche: only if it's been there over a day
[05:17] <sparrw> nrdb: ok, then perhaps ive got an option incorrect...
[05:17] <v> Lol, this is supposed to be support for the os, not cash
[05:17] <flami> Hi, is there something like irfanview for linux ? ( watch pictures and do some basic editing like resize )
[05:17] <kitche> Gnea: depends on how it's setup I have mine to do it per hour
[05:18] <Profquatermass> How do I tell Ubuntu I've got a widescreen monitor not generic?
[05:18] <mero_aprendiz> flami, picasa is a good choice for that
[05:18] <Gnea> kitche: that's pretty resoure intensive...
[05:18] <Azul> v: i am trying to support you =D
[05:18] <flami> ok
[05:18] <flami> thanks
[05:18] <nrdb> sparrw: make sure the CGI script is tagged as executable.
[05:18] <mero_aprendiz> Profquatermass, you gotta edit xorg.conf
[05:18] <Gnea> Profquatermass: it should autodetect it
[05:18] <kitche> Gnea: not really
[05:18] <sparrw> nrdb: it is
[05:18] <Azul> v: does it work on windows?
[05:18] <Profquatermass> I though Ubuntu 'just works' ?

[05:18] <Slash> you should use gedit
[05:18] <Profquatermass> oh
[05:19] <Slash> sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:19] <v> Yeah azul, it works perfectly fine on there
[05:19] <v> just this
[05:19] <Slash> and change the resolution you want
[05:19] <Slash> (having widescreen to)
[05:19] <sparrw> Profquatermass: why would you need to tell ubuntu that you have a widescreen monitor?  does it not offer the right resolutions?
[05:19] <v> Someone said its the grub boot loader and i need ti replaace it with lilo but thats complicated
[05:19] <Gnea> Profquatermass: there are odd cases now and then that don't work as intended
[05:19] <mero_aprendiz> but you should know what you're doing than... read a little bit about xorg.conf...
[05:19] <Azul> v: i don't think the bootload got anything to do with how your cd-rom behaves
[05:20] <Azul> v: what programs do you use to burn?
[05:20] <nrdb> Profquatermass: it just works (from the CD) for the widest posible setup, as wide screen monitors aren't very common it doesn't do it automattically.
[05:20] <v> Nothing
[05:20] <v> It just wont load CDS or respond full top
[05:20] <freewilly> you just have to make one or two good modelines & wre them down on paper & in xorg.conf
[05:20] <endo> nevermind, none of those packages work
[05:20] <Azul> v: do CDs at least get mounted
[05:20] <Musiq> Which program can I use as alternative for timidity?
[05:21] <endo> !pidgin | endo
[05:21] <Profquatermass> ok I've edited the xorg.conf file. Now what the screen hasn't changed
[05:21] <v> no
[05:21] <v> cd's do not mount
[05:21] <v> and ive already looked in the cd options
[05:21] <v> its all on auto mount
[05:21] <endo> !gaim | endo
[05:21] <v> and even when i click the mount function it still doesnt do anything :S
[05:22] <freewilly> just google for a matching xorg.conf & paste it
[05:22] <nrdb> Profquatermass: using <ctl><alt><1> do a "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart"
[05:22] <joe4288> hi im having trouble joining the kubuntu channel
[05:22] <Nutubuntu> I had to end my Feisty installation at the "Select and install software" step. Is there a way to resume installing beginning at that step?
[05:22] <Gnea> Profquatermass: you have to restart X for that - just press ctrl-alt-backspace
[05:22] <joe4288> it says i need to be identified?
[05:23] <kitche> !register | joe4288
[05:23] <ubotu> joe4288: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[05:23] <Azul> v: all i can think of is ubuntu just doesn't like your cd-rom drive
[05:23] <joe4288> yea i had the same problem when i install feisty
[05:23] <joe4288> all i did was have it search for a img on my windows drive
[05:24] <joe4288> and i made it use the img and BOOM all good
[05:24] <bulmer> v do you believe your cdrom is still working? just for comparison, a cdrom reader i have is freaking so slow using ubuntu cd's but windows (a snap)
[05:24] <Profquatermass> I've typed into terminal "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" and nothing is happening
[05:24] <Profquatermass> I get no such file
[05:24] <pihus> I need to modprobe and chmod everytime I boot up (to turn on wifi radio). How could I make it happen automatically?
[05:24] <luc_> fdghj
[05:25] <Gnea> Profquatermass: just press ctrl-alt-backspace, it will kill X and restart it for you, all while re-reading the xorg.conf file
[05:25] <nrdb> Profquatermass: are you using Ubuntu or Kubuntu ?
[05:25] <Gnea> heh
[05:27] <trappist> who would I ask about claiming an existing, inactive username on the ubuntu forums, launchpad, etc.?
[05:27] <daquino> is there a repo which has p idgin ?

[05:29] <radioaktivstorm> anyone know of a firefox theme that allows your gtk iconset to appear in the browser? kinda like how epiphany does it?
[05:29] <manga_aroche> ay alguien
[05:29] <aurynn> so what would I look at as to why 7.04 x86-64 wouldn't boot on my AMD64 system?
[05:30] <Tom47> radioaktivstorm: i think there is an 'old-gnome' under the os group
[05:30] <manga_aroche> al guna chica
[05:30] <Gnea> aurynn: the error message
[05:30] <aurynn> Gnea, none; it starts loading and goes to a black screen.
[05:31] <radioaktivstorm> Tom47, cool, im actually looking to match my ubuntustudio iconset...
[05:31] <Gnea> aurynn: uh-huh, what about the lights on the cdrom and hdd?
[05:31] <aurynn> Gnea, None. It goes quiet. This is the 7.04 livecd
[05:31] <v> whats the command to force unmount?
[05:31] <radioaktivstorm> ha. and there it is....at gnome-look herself!
[05:31] <Tom47> radioaktivstorm: i use the ubuntu tango theme
[05:31] <Gnea> aurynn: okay, do you have anything other than ther keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers plugged in?
[05:32] <v> ?
[05:32] <aurynn> Gnea, no
[05:32] <v> whats the command to force unmount?

[05:32] <silvertip257> I could use some help:  I've compiled busybox & need to add openssh to it ... instructions say to chroot & compile openssh ...
[05:33] <aurynn> my first guess would be a bad image..
[05:33] <hoelk> anyone else problems with unmounting removable usb devices in xfce btw?
[05:33] <Gnea> aurynn: do you have another computer?
[05:33] <aurynn> Gnea, only the one x86-64
[05:33] <radioaktivstorm> Tom47 nice looking theme actually...hmm i may use that. i dont like the default them...its a bit faded especially on the laptop :/
[05:33] <Gnea> hoelk: as long as there isn't a program that's using the device, shouldn't be a problem
[05:33] <Gnea> aurynn: oh. what cpu is it?
[05:34] <Mariko[Linux] > Now I have another problem - my wireless driver doesn't work, it's an Intel Proset Wireless card; 3945.
[05:34] <hoelk> well but it is ;)
[05:34] <Mariko[Linux] > It shows up as a restricted device.
[05:34] <aurynn> Gnea, AMD Sempron 64. It ran 6.04-x86-64 without a problem
[05:34] <hoelk> nevermind i cant really describe the bug now, just wanted to know if anyone has experiences with that
[05:34] <Gnea> aurynn: AFAIK, 7.04 isn't a final stable release yet.
[05:35] <mezziah> Gnea: it's stable since 2 months
[05:35] <Gnea> aurynn: you may need to tweak the boot options for the kernel
[05:35] <BFrank> why is the vesa driver for xorg on Ubuntu so choppy compared to the vesa driver for xorg on freebsd?
[05:35] <v> So
[05:36] <Gnea> mezziah: oh, had my fooled.
[05:36] <v> How do i go about formating my external hdd?
[05:36] <Gnea> me*
[05:36] <aurynn> BFrank, it's a conspiracy
[05:36] <jmerino> ytf776
[05:36] <BFrank> does it have anything to do with DRI?
[05:36] <v> How do i go about formatting my external HDD please someone?

[05:37] <scarecrow> Hi, i'm want to convert a .rpm pakage  to .deb can some1 plz help me?
[05:37] <xeno__>  Say, I'm back trying to figure out my laptop.  I have the firewall up with my mac address, but that device doesn't appear to have any pickup reporter.
[05:37] <Gnea> !wireless | Mariko[Linux]
[05:37] <ubotu> Mariko[Linux] : Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:37] <berent> is there any tool to hack email passwords in ubuntu?
[05:37] <Gnea> scarecrow: apt-get install alien
[05:37] <xeno__>  It's a Netgear MR814v2.
[05:37] <lokulin> !alien | scarecrow
[05:37] <ubotu> scarecrow: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[05:37] <xeno__>  Here are some other history items:
[05:38] <xeno__>  1.  My friend who sold it to me had wireless working fine on it with Windows XP.
[05:38] <lokulin> I've used alien on a few packages tho and it seems to work well
[05:38] <scarecrow> Gnea, I did installed alien but then i dunno wat to do.
[05:38] <xeno__>  2.  I installed Breezy on it last Summer and then upgraded to Dapper.  It never worked with the wireless net at my employment at the time.
[05:38] <Gnea> aurynn: i really don't know what else to suggest other than try a 32bit image
[05:38] <Tom47> Mariko[Linux] : have you enabled the driver in System > Administraton > Restricted Driver Manager?
[05:38] <Gnea> scarecrow: man alien
[05:38] <xeno__>  3.  I upgraded recently to Edgy and then to Feisty, and most everything else on this Toshiba Satellite A55-S3063 works fine.
[05:39] <aurynn> Gnea, the 32-bit image is working fine
[05:39] <Mariko[Linux] > Yes, I have, Tom47

[05:39] <Gnea> aurynn: try expert mode
[05:39] <aurynn> Gnea, would it be worthwhile to reburn the image?
[05:39] <scarecrow> Gnea, i am very new to Ubuntu. I did read the man alien but i dun understand anything.

[05:43] <kazol_> Benny: Why don't you use Beryl?
[05:43] <Benny> im new to this
[05:44] <scarecrow> greyfrog, i installed alien but how do i convert the rpm pakage?
[05:44] <kazol_> Benny: Use beryl-it's much better.
[05:44] <XBehave> when my gfx card is plugged in my onboard card isnt listed in lspci, will it be possible to use both cards at the same time?
[05:44] <roho> i removed gdm in an effort to use kdm instead.  however, now i can't get kdm to run on boot.  i just get a generic session with an xterm with no decorations.  i have searched the forums and went to #kubuntu with no luck.  anyone have any ideas?
[05:44] <kazol_> Benny: I had problems with Compiz, plus the effects were worse than beryl.
[05:44] <arsalan> scarecrow: alien -k package.rpm

[05:56] <aurynn> Q: Is it worth it to fight to get ubuntu x86-64 working, or should I go with works-without-many-issues-32 bit?
[05:57] <jrib> scarecrow: maybe http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Maya can give you some hints
[05:57] <fuzzyhair> aurynn: unless you have over 4 gigs of ram, it's not that much of a difference
[05:57] <Johto> ...
[05:57] <jrib> aurynn: go with 32bit unless you know exactly why you want 64bit
[05:57] <aurynn> well, 64-bit was more of a "because I can"
[05:58] <MacPhisto> Anybody there may help me to install a Modem and Wireless card in my note Acer ??????
[05:58] <NOT_guru> will the 32bit see more than 3 gigs of mem?
[05:58] <scarecrow> arsalan, i did what u told me but it says "must run as root to convert to deb......."
[05:58] <NOT_guru> mem is so cheap these days
[05:58] <aurynn> my system maxes at 2gb, so that's not an issue
[05:58] <dseaver> i successfully installed ubuntu onto a dell poweredge 6450, but when it start to load ubuntu, it hangs then goes to busy box.  any idea why it wond boot into ubuntu
[05:58] <fuzzyhair> macphisto: google Acer (wireless card name) how to
[05:59] <cein> how do i control ownership of locally mounted samba shares when using cifs?
[05:59] <scarecrow> jrib, i read that but i dun understand the converting part
[05:59] <NOT_guru> aurynn  I was asking for myself  I can get 4 gigs of mem for $150
[05:59] <Tom47> aurynn its a moot point .... check out the issue in ubuntuforums where its been discussed adnauseum
[06:00] <MacPhisto> fuzzyhair, I already done and didnot get to install . I Already tryed to install madwifi .
[06:00] <aurynn> NOT_guru, yeah, ddr2 is cheap as dirty

[06:00] <lmosher> As I switched from Windows to Linux I find myself wanting more space on my drive for Linux and less for Windows. The issues is at the moment my hard disk had 3 partitions in this order: /dev/sda2 3Gb "restore" partition, /dev/sda1 27 GB Xp partition, /dev/sda3 42GB Ubuntu. I don't mind wiping the windows partitions, but I'll want to add a 10gb windows partition later and install windows again. Can I GROW my ext3 partition forward? Is
[06:00] <lmosher> that bad?
[06:00] <NOT_guru> so  will I need to load 64bit to see all of the 4 gigs as windows XP see's only like 3.3gigs

[06:01] <TheCreationist> kylefox: Have you looked into group permissions?
[06:01] <roho> or samba
[06:01] <kitche> NOT_guru: x86 can see more then 4 gigs of ram with technology since x86_64 is still limited to 4 gig of ram without that technology any how but they tend to use that technology more
[06:02] <andrew____> question
[06:02] <Tom47> lmosher there are some excellent gparted tutorials at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/documentation.php
[06:02] <kylefox> TheCreationist: yeah, that's what I'm trying to figure out.  all the users are in the same group ('staff')

[06:03] <franalo> ola
[06:04] <_Andrew> carrot_: Applications -> Add/Remove programs -> Search for "flash"
[06:04] <NOT_guru> this ubuntu community sure is nice.. thanks for everything
[06:04] <kylefox> TheCreationist: okay, so something like chmod g+rwx our_share?
[06:04] <lmosher> Tom47, Maybe I should just go ahead and delete the windows partitions and then make new ones, not bother growing. At this point I don't want to re-do things...
[06:04] <andrew____> any one know what random lines appearing on the desktop might be?
[06:04] <andrew____> after a new install
[06:04] <TheCreationist> kylefox: I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with using chmod from the console, but yes... something like that :)
[06:05] <roho> you can always 'man chmod'
[06:05] <TheCreationist> kylefox: You can also do it from within gnome or KDE by right-clicking the folder, and select Properties.
[06:05] <kylefox> haha okay, cause i know what i need to do, i just don't know the command line that well :)
[06:05] <lmosher> Tom47, I don't have a convenient backup system at the moment and ruining my Ubuntu partition would suck greatly for me at the moment. Thanks for the link :)
[06:05] <MacPhisto> greyfrogubotu: I apologize you , but I'm tryed to find answer for this matter a long time and I won't give up again to use Ubuntu .
[06:05] <Tom47> lmosher its up to you ... i am experimenting now with gparted and so far, fingers crossed, i am happy with what its doing
[06:05] <kitche> _Andrew: it would be hard to install flash on x86_64 since flash does not work on it without nspluginwrapper
[06:05] <cdavis> andrew____, I would say it is more hardware related then software related
[06:05] <kylefox> TheCreationist: I can't seem to use the GUI because I don't own the shared folder (it says it's owned by root)
[06:05] <lmosher> Tom47, Cool, I'll try it at some point, I'll just need to get a big backup drive first :)
[06:06] <TheCreationist> kylefox: Ah... okay
[06:06] <_Andrew> kitche: noted
[06:06] <kylefox> TheCreationist: also, does it matter in which order I change the permissions?  (create the share, set permissions, create symlink, set symlink permissions?)
[06:06] <some_dude> how do i control which of the /etc/init.d program get started ?
[06:06] <roho> kylefox: no
[06:06] <Tom47> lmosher it'll work better than a sleeping cap :)
[06:06] <TheCreationist> kylefox: First thing you should do is transfer owner ship to you.
[06:06] <yrlnry> The F4 button on my laptop that is supposed to switch between the builtin display and the analog video output, does not work under ubuntu feisty.  Why might that be?
[06:07] <TheCreationist> kylefox: sudo chown -R [yourname]  [file]
[06:07] <_Andrew> yrlnry: Does your laptop have updated firmware?
[06:07] <yrlnry> I don't know.  How do I find out?
[06:07] <KingMau> I NEED CONEXANT AUDIO HD DRIVER FOR UBUNTU
[06:08] <TheCreationist> kylefox: The symlink will take whatever permissions are set for the file its linking to, I believe.  So you could save a step by setting the permissions for the share folder first.
[06:08] <kitche> !caps | KingMau wuit using caps
[06:08] <ubotu> KingMau wuit using caps: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[06:08] <_Andrew> yrlnry: Normally the supplier if your laptop will make updates available for the BIOS. You can try on their website.
[06:08] <Tom47> !patience > KingMau
[06:08] <yrlnry> Thanks; I will go see.
[06:08] <KingMau> JAJAJA OK SORRY
[06:08] <kitche> KingMau: quit using caps
[06:08] <_Andrew> yrlnry: I had problems with my laptop too. I then updated the BIOS and everything worked
[06:08] <rockzman> Local: Bad packet length<PHONE_NUMBER>. This happens When I try to access one machine from my Ubuntu server what does it means
[06:09] <kylefox> TheCreationist: , that's what I don't understand.  I use 'chown' from the command line to change ownership of the share to myself, and 'ls -l' proves it works....but then in the GUI it still says 'monolift' (our root account) is still owner...
[06:10] <Sparc42> Hello,  I'm running FF over EE and its pretty messed up. I want to a clean reinstall of FF from the liveCD.  Got all the backups done.  So from the liveCD I get to the partitioning and then I'm lost. I have a winxp partition that I don't want to lose.  anyone here can walk me through it?
[06:10] <TheCreationist> kylefox: Did you use the -R switch when using chown?
[06:10] <kylefox> yeah
[06:10] <Mydalon> Hello
[06:10] <kylefox> does chown not work twice in a row?
[06:10] <rockzman> Local: Bad packet length<PHONE_NUMBER>. This happens When I try to access one machine from my Ubuntu server what does it means
[06:11] <kylefox> I used chown once, realized i set the wrong user, and then tried chowing again, but then it didn't apply in the GUI
[06:11] <kylefox> i deleted the share, created it, chowned the right user and it work :/
[06:11] <Toma-> There any way to see what version of a bios you have from ubuntu?
[06:11] <_Andrew> rockzman: I am guessing it means the packets being sent to the computer are too big or too small
[06:11] <Tom47> Sparc42: what does FF over EE mean exactly to you
[06:11] <rockzman> _Andrew any other linux ssh program that access ssh
[06:12] <Mydalon> I want to change my OLD debian system on my server and switch to ubuntu. However I have no possibility to use a CD. Is there some kind of tool that I can download on the server and start it there, that installs ubuntu (I have access via ssh and a serial console)?
[06:12] <Sparc42> Tom47.  I updated to Feisty Faun over a previously installed Edgy Eft
[06:12] <gudegnaw> I am finally making the decision to upgrade from Edgy to feisty.. should I be concerned about backing up my files? or is doing the upgrade through the update manager completely safe??
[06:13] <Mydalon> gudegnaw: I had no problems, but that's a bad statistic ;-)
[06:13] <RAH66> hey all
[06:13] <ethernomad> Running Fiesty 7.04...How do I start DBus?
[06:13] <gudegnaw> would my themes I have downloaded under edgy be kept when upgrading to fiesty?
[06:13] <bipolar> Are there any policy documents anywhere that spell out who is part of the Ubuntu "Community"?
[06:13] <benmayim> I'm running ubuntu 7.04. Does it have a firewall built in or do I need to download one, or do I need one at all?
[06:14] <bipolar> benmayim: Unless you're running a public server, a firewall is probably unnecessary
[06:15] <benmayim> yeah, bipolar, I'm running LAMP server...how is firestarter for a firewall?
[06:15] <RAH66> i have a screen res problem i installed feisty today with safe graphics mode everything went fine but when I restarted my pc it gave me a out of range on my lcd
[06:16] <magnetron> !firewall | benmayim
[06:16] <ubotu> benmayim: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[06:16] <Tom47> Sparc42: if all else fails checkout something like  http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Ubuntu-7-04-Windows-User-P-O-V-52973.shtml
[06:16] <kitche> benmayim: well it's just a frontend to the firewall iptables
[06:16] <bipolar> benmayim: I've never used it. I've used firewall builder (fwbuilder)
[06:16] <bipolar> benmayim: they all create scripts for iptables.

[06:25] <Toma-> benmayim: google is a good start... www.moblock.org ?
[06:25] <spasticteapot> Toma-: I'm not quite sure some USB to PlayStation 2 adapters will work, though.
[06:25] <greg_g> is there a command (if yes, what is it?) that shows you what packages the user has installed, in either apt-get or synaptic?  Or maybe just a list of packages and when they were installed?

[06:37] <roler> how do I install root certificates into ubuntu? I am trying to get a www.cacert.org cert installed

[06:37] <D_G_Calquhoon> I'm running XP at the moment with no problems, don't think there's any problems with the memory. I ran the memory test off the ubuntu cd (cancelled it at about 20% because I got bored :D ) but it hadn't found any problems before then.
[06:37] <Arsanerit> gerro: Okay.
[06:37] <Arsanerit> gerro: Is it the "DRI" section?
[06:37] <iphv37> hi! can u explain me how to set up my audio device to listen rosegarden?
[06:37] <Arsanerit> I'm looking for differences between my previous and current configuration.
[06:38] <RivaeAerya> I'm still having problems with my monitor. The fonts don't look very sharp. What should i do? resolution problems have been fixed.
[06:38] <gerro> Arsanerit: I have no clue never used ATI before but all your configurations are listed in that one file
[06:38] <Arsanerit> Yes
[06:38] <Arsanerit> Ok.
[06:38] <Arsanerit> I thought perhaps someone knows.
[06:38] <gerro> Arsanerit: it probably has a xorg.conf.backup there
[06:38] <Benny> Is it possible to run ubuntu on an Xbox 360?
[06:38] <_Andrew> D_G_Calquhoon: So no problems there. What hardware are you using?
[06:38] <Arsanerit> I have my old configuration and my new one
[06:38] <Arsanerit> My old is FC4
[06:39] <gerro> RivaeAerya: make sure hinting and anti aliasing are turned on
[06:39] <Arsanerit> There's no .backup though
[06:39] <gerro> RivaeAerya: might also want to play around with system fonts
[06:39] <Arsanerit> I can also just pray that google-earth won't hang anymore.
[06:39] <tck> gerro, any other ideas?
[06:39] <RivaeAerya> gerro: they're both at maximum
[06:40] <RivaeAerya> gerro: DPI says 96. is this wrong?
[06:40] <iphv37> there's anyone to help with sound things?
[06:40] <RivaeAerya> the new monitor is a Samsung Syncmaster 940MW
[06:40] <gerro> Arsanerit: I think google earth has dependencies it doesn't list because on one my computers it doesn't work but on the other ones it does

The buglist in lunchpad for this project do not already contain these missing pages, but I noticed that the Server Guide is under rearrangment or something. Anyone who knows if it is any point in reporting this or who  might know?
[06:44] <sebastian> thx Tom47

[06:45] <meep> ...what should I do to install this file?
[06:45] <Arsanerit> I made the mistake of installing '*font*' :-S
[06:45] <bsdunix> i need something like find-utils locate. apparently, there is no such thing via apt-get src. anybody got a hint for me?
[06:46] <yermohangul> hola sebastian
[06:46] <greg_g> joacim_: there is an #ubuntu-doc channel (or something similar)
[06:46] <iphv37> everytime i start rhythmbox, the sound is well configured and i can listen the sound.. but with rosegarden, wired, or even with sound recorder i get no sound!!!
[06:46] <D_G_Calquhoon> _Andrew: well the image I'm burned the cd from is ubuntu-7.04-desktop-amd64.iso
[06:46] <CountDown> Anyone else have problems booting (fsck failure) after upgrading from Edgy to Feisty?
[06:46] <joacim_> thanks greg_g, I'll look over there.
[06:46] <roho> bsdunix: uh, did you try just findutils?
[06:46] <gerro> RivaeAerya: you there?
[06:46] <meep>  hi guys, I downloads a Usplash for ubuntu, and I tried to 'make' it and it spat this back out..../bin/sh: pngtousplash: not found
[06:46] <meep>  ...what should I do to install this file?
[06:47] <bsdunix> roho ... nope. escaped me. thanks
[06:47] <_Andrew> D_G_Calquhoon: You might have less problems if you downloaded the x86 version of Ubuntu.
[06:47] <roho> bsdunix: no prob
[06:47] <Tom47> CountDown: what problem are you having?
[06:47] <gerro> D_G_Calquhoon: x86 version pwnz
[06:48] <bsdunix> rohowow. i already have locate results for a search on my system!
[06:48] <bsdunix> apt-get is amazing fast
[06:48] <D_G_Calquhoon> Thanks folks, I'll give x86 a try :)
[06:48] <CountDown> Tom47: It's essentially the same problem outlined at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2454533 (and elsewhere), but I can't find a definitive solution.
[06:48] <D_G_Calquhoon> If it doesn't work I'll be back.
[06:48] <sebastian> how i can see the files in .amule/incoming ?? i cant get the files
[06:48] <_Andrew> D_G_Calquhoon: If you run into more problems we're here to help
[06:49] <meep>  hi guys, I downloads a Usplash for ubuntu, and I tried to 'make' it and it spat this back out..../bin/sh: pngtousplash: not found
[06:49] <meep>  ...what should I do to install this file?
[06:49] <slipzer0> Ok, how do I remove totem-movie player or make gmplayer the default movie player?
[06:49] <D_G_Calquhoon> Thanks, 'preciate it :)
[06:49] <meep> i already have installed usplash
[06:49] <D_G_Calquhoon> Ciao!
[06:49] <iphv37> how can i configure my audio device to listen in sound recorder???
[06:50] <roho> bsdunix: apt-get owns.  soon you'll change your nick.
[06:50] <Tom47> Countdown check that the uuid's in fstab are consistent with the output from blkid
[06:50] <peanutb> iphv37, you probably need to select the recording device in the gnome mixer
[06:50] <bsdunix> i think i recall doing a sudo apt-get remove portsentry, but locate portsentry finds configs and libs and such. did i not use proper string and arguments/flags for to remove this bin?
[06:51] <meep> forget my problem i fixed it
[06:51] <iphv37> peanutb, gnome mixer?
[06:51] <CountDown> Tom47: I checked that and it looks like the swap partition's UUID differs.  Any idea why this happened and the best way to fix it?
[06:51] <snake444> i have problems with script of ipv6 from btexact tunnel, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26453/
[06:51] <v> Hey
[06:51] <peanutb> iphv37, boubble click on the speaker icon
[06:51] <v> Whats the ebst tool for video conversion?
[06:51] <Tom47> i would correct fstab and see if it fixes the issue ....
[06:51] <peanutb> *doubble
[06:51] <bsdunix> roho; lol... i'm pleasantly surprised thus far
[06:52] <Tom47> CountDown:  i would correct fstab and see if it fixes the issue ....
[06:52] <roho> bsdunix: excellent
[06:52] <peanutb> bsdunix, try adding --purge to that command
[06:52] <v> anyone know any decent video conversion tools?
[06:52] <CountDown> Tom47: Yeah, I'm trying to avoid doing things I don't understand.  Seems like voodoo that this problem would come up at all.
[06:52] <iphv37> peanutb, it shows me that the sound card is sis si7012
[06:52] <bsdunix>  peanutb thanks
[06:53] <Tom47> CountDown: sudo gedit /etc/fstab ..... yes i understand that i cannot give you chapter ond verse on reasons
[06:53] <RAH66> is there a way start ubuntu like in safe mode for windows?
[06:53] <peanutb> iphv37, it should allow you to select your recording device in the recording tab.
[06:53] <Tom47> RAH66 yes using the failsafe option on boot up but that does not give you a gui
[06:53] <CountDown> Tom47: Thanks for you input, though.  I'll resort to editing fstab if I can't find another way.
[06:53] <Hoc1> so I'm considering going from win32 to ubuntu but I have a mirc trivia script bot with about 4k questions.
[06:54] <iphv37> peanutb, it only shows the "capture"
[06:54] <_Andrew> slipzer0: Right Click the movie file -> Open with tab
[06:54] <v> Doesnt anyone know any tools for converting videos!
[06:54] <iphv37> *"capture" volume
[06:54] <jrib> v: ffmpeg
[06:54] <RivaeAerya> I'm still having problems with my monitor. The fonts don't look very sharp. What should i do? resolution problems have been fixed.
[06:54] <Hock> is there an application for ubuntu that will support mirc trivia scripts?
[06:54] <jrib> v: or mencoder
[06:54] <RAH66> coz I have a screen res issue and i have to do something with x (<<< noob)
[06:54] <predaeus> v, google for mencoder and ffmpeg
[06:54] <RivaeAerya> Or is this just because i switched from CRT to LCD?
[06:55] <peanutb> iphv37, you have to go into the preferences dialog and select your microphone or whatever it is.
[06:55] <v> ok sure thing, thanks guys
[06:55] <RivaeAerya> It's a new monitor
[06:55] <Tom47> RivaeAerya: try System>Preferences>Fonts
[06:55] <_Andrew> RivaeAerya: System->Preferences->Font .. have a play about in there until your happy
[06:55] <RivaeAerya> Tom47: Already did so. Still not sharp
[06:56] <snake444> i have problems with script of ipv6 from btexact tunnel, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26453/
[06:56] <peanutb> Rivae, try replugging in your monitor cable
[06:56] <MentoreX> hello anyone knows how i can use the mic with a terratec dmx 6 fire?
[06:56] <Tom47> RivaeAerya: i only find this sort of issue here when i am using a non native resolution for the monitor
[06:56] <_Andrew> RivaeAerya: Try clicking on the details button.
[06:57] <RivaeAerya> I switched off hinting and then the problem was almost gone..
[06:57] <RivaeAerya> i have the hinting on max
[06:57] <RivaeAerya> can that be causing it?
[06:57] <iphv37> peanutb, it's already selected the microphone capture in preferences!
[06:57] <atrus> RivaeAerya: also, see if your monitor has an "auto adjust" feature. mine was a bit blurry until i let it do its thing there.
[06:57] <JC_Denton_> upgraded 6.10 to 7.04 but now my comp won't read any keyboard input. What to do? (k/b works fine otherwise)
[06:57] <sdac> hi, is there any diference between installing KDE on xubuntu fiesty... and downloading kubuntu fiesty directly ?   I already have xubuntu
[06:58] <Music_Shuffle> sdac, if you do the former, you'll have XFCE + KDE
[06:58] <iphv37> peanutb, there's a tab "switches" and there's too the microphone selected!!
[06:58] <Music_Shuffle> sdac, and if you just DL Kubuntu Feisty directly, you'll just have KDE.
[06:58] <sdac> ok so there is no downside since the base is identical i guess
[06:58] <Tom47> sdac usually no dif if you install kubuntu-desktop
[06:58] <Music_Shuffle> sdac, no downside if you have enough HDD space.  :)
[06:58] <sdac> ok great thanks
[06:58] <peanutb> iphv37, is the capture volume all the way up? do you need to put a mic boost on?
[06:59] <kylefox> Bah!  I don't want a Desktop folder in my home directory?  Can I get rid of it permanently?
[06:59] <atrus> RiverRat: lcd monitor? i use max hinting with subpixel antialiasing turned on here.
[06:59] <Hock> is there a script for x-chat that will function similarly to the trivia script for mirc?
[06:59] <DrFrasierCrane> is it possible to change "expand icon"? i mean on linux there is this arrow, but i like + / - better (like default on windows) i mean expand in tree controls
[06:59] <_Andrew> JC_Denton_: Is your keyboard bluetooth?
[06:59] <JC_Denton_> no, standard ps2
[06:59] <JC_Denton_> Andrew, no, standard ps2
[06:59] <RivaeAerya> atrus: I've discovered the size of the screen is a bit... wrongly sized, i let it autodetect and it still is. How do I adjust?
[06:59] <atrus> kylefox: what app created it? if it's gnome, you can tell it to use your home directory directly as your desktop (which has the extra benifit of forcing you to keep your home directory tidy :) )
[07:00] <JC_Denton_> Andrew, I will have to go AFK for now and will troubleshoot this issue later on again. thanks
[07:00] <atrus> RivaeAerya: not really sure. autodetect always pulls it off right for me, provided i have bright content along all edges of the screen.
[07:00] <atrus> RivaeAerya: vga or dvi?
[07:01] <Johto> any way to control which display goes blank using screensaver ( i have multiple independand screens) ?
[07:01] <bsdunix> roho: a few years ago, i left linux because of so many "standards" - always heard debian was only truly gnu compliant but very behind. now i've found THE linux for me :)
[07:01] <RivaeAerya> atrus: hold on, let me ask my dad
[07:01] <RivaeAerya> atrus: VGA
[07:02] <atrus> RivaeAerya: lcd?
[07:02] <iphv37> peanutb, the volume is on top for all!! and it's not necessary to put the mic boost on, i think! it's possible to listen the mics sound.. but when i start a program like sound recorder the sound from the program disappears!!
[07:02] <RivaeAerya> atrus: yes
[07:02] <tck> quick question, http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/gnome/gnome-themes where did the 'simple' theme go to
[07:02] <RivaeAerya> atrus: Samsung SyncMaster 940MW
[07:02] <tck> i was using it earlier, and re-installed after testing something, and now its gone
[07:03] <bsdunix> them syncmasters are great. i had one with bnc inputs
[07:03] <RivaeAerya> bsdunix: can you help me then?
[07:03] <bsdunix> what with?
[07:03] <Badzo> how can i set a 'wallpaper' in the terminal?
[07:03] <bsdunix> i wasn't payin' attention, sorry
[07:03] <atrus> RivaeAerya: i'm not sure. the auto-adjust has always worked well for me there. when you say it's the wrong size, what do you mean exactly?
[07:03] <RivaeAerya> bsdunix: The fonts don't look sharp and there's a bit of the bottom stretched too much, i can move the windows all the way down without them showing anything
[07:04] <RivaeAerya> atrus: there's a little space at the bottom i can't se
[07:04] <RivaeAerya> see
[07:04] <QwertyM> Badzo, Edit > Current Profile > Effects > Background Image
[07:04] <Tom47> RivaeAerya: is yr resoltion set at 1440x900?
[07:04] <jrib> Badzo: use gconftool-2 to set the gconf key for it
[07:04] <RivaeAerya> Tom47: Yes
[07:04] <Badzo> QwertyM: thanks
[07:04] <dseaver> when i boot my computer, it hangs at the ubuntu splash for a minute then it starts busy box, and not ubuntu
[07:04] <_Andrew> RivaeAerya: That is the correct font for your monitor?
[07:04] <_Andrew> uhh
[07:05] <mezziah> Badzo: when entering the terminal, go to "Edit", "Profiles", "Edit", "Effects"
[07:05] <giany911> im trying to get a v360 to work with moto4lin .. and i have a problem i have to manually edit 4902 to be 4901 and i dont know how
[07:05] <giany911> Bus 002 Device 032: ID 22b8:4902 Motorola PCS E398 GSM Phone
[07:05] <_Andrew> RivaeAerya: That is the correct resolution for your monitor?
[07:05] <RivaeAerya> _Andrew: yes
[07:05] <mezziah> Badzo: there you can set your wallpaper
[07:05] <_Andrew> ok
[07:05] <Hock> Is there a trivia script for an irc client usable in ubuntu?
[07:05] <bsdunix> RivaeAerya sounds like monitor is old. try manually centering yoke coil with rubberized glove if front panel settings controls don't help
[07:05] <RivaeAerya> bsdunix: I just bought it!
[07:05] <peanutb> ipvh, does this sound something like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/53448 ?
[07:05] <atrus> RivaeAerya: perhaps maximize a window, like a web browser, and then try the monitor's auto-adjust feature. sometimes mine doesn't work optimally if there isn't screen content everywhere
[07:06] <RivaeAerya> atrus: didn't work
[07:06] <GrueTamer> Hock: i know someone who set up a trivia game, and i can play it, so, i would think so
[07:06] <atrus> bsdunix: augh. i hope you're joking, because we're talking about a new flat-panel LCD
[07:06] <maroth> hi irc :) I seem to be having problems with sound recording on ubuntu feisty. i'm using ALSA, and my sound card is recognized ok. recording works too, but after some arbitrary time (about a minute, sometimes more sometimes less) the recording just stops (or teamspeak just transmits static). does anyone have any ideas?
[07:06] <bsdunix> RivaeAerya; i think you bought a dud
[07:06] <avernos> is it better to use a native windows driver with ndiswrapper for the wireless chipset RTL8185 or should i try to unncoment it from the black list ??
[07:06] <RivaeAerya> bsdunix: I think my dad bought it in an official store.
[07:06] <atrus> RivaeAerya: either he's confused or trying to be funny :)
[07:06] <Hock> Grue: thanks. there's a pretty comprehensive mirc script that I use currently but I want to switch to ubuntu but don't want to lose all the qeustions
[07:06] <RivaeAerya> atrus: alright
[07:06] <Hock> even if I have to convert them to another format
[07:07] <Hock> I can parse the file and put it in the new format or whatever.
[07:07] <bsdunix> RivaeAerya i was cornfused... it is a dud if it has that stretch out of square, right?
[07:07] <sarthor> Hi, i have adsl modem in bridghe mode.... how to creat dialer on my ubuntu fiesty???
[07:07] <RivaeAerya> bsdunix: no
[07:08] <RivaeAerya> bsdunix: And with that comes, in Windows it did all fine.
[07:08] <dseaver> when i boot my computer, it hangs at the ubuntu splash for a minute then it starts busy box, and not ubuntu, any ideas why it wont load up ubuntu?
[07:08] <bsdunix> i would try calling up the xorg-configure util once more
[07:08] <RivaeAerya> Linux is where it's failing
[07:08] <helpme> ok guys, I am trying to erase entire disk and install and it doesnt work.. I have tried several times and even left the install going overnight... I have never been able to partition with linux partition managers.. any suggestions?? pplleeeaaasseee
[07:08] <kylefox> atrus: how can i force gnome to use my home folder for my desktop?
[07:08] <joe4444> when installing Ubuntu does it matter if both my displays are connected to my video card?  should i only connect the 2nd LCD after installation?
[07:08] <iphv37> peanutb: yes!!!
[07:09] <atrus> kylefox: i'm not sure there's a proper gui for the option anymore, but gconf-editor will let you set it.
[07:09] <_Andrew> Hock: Would recoding your script be out of the question?
[07:09] <RivaeAerya> atrus, bsdunix: And with that comes, in Windows it did all fine. Linux is where it's failing
[07:09] <bsdunix> RivaeAerya play it safe with your next xorg config; i think there are special apps and settings required for lcd.
[07:09] <iphv37> peanutb, it comes back to "capture"!!
[07:09] <kylefox> atrus: okay, thanks....erm, what's gconf-editor :)
[07:09] <GhostFreeman> ati
[07:09] <peanutb> iphv37, there seems to be a fix further down on that page.

[07:09] <sarthor> Hi, i have adsl modem in bridghe mode.... how to creat dialer on my ubuntu fiesty???
[07:10] <magnetron> RivaeAerya: You are repeating yourself
[07:10] <iphv37> peanutb, ok, i'll see...
[07:10] <bsdunix> RivaeAerya also give vesa a try, play it safe, rule out as many unneeded variables
[07:10] <RivaeAerya> magnetron: Because i thought they didn't get to read my message
[07:10] <atrus> kylefox: install gconf-editor if neccesary, and run it. you want to enable the /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir option.
[07:10] <magnetron> RivaeAerya: they do, i'm sure
[07:10] <GhostFreeman> hey was pidgin included with Feisty?
[07:10] <RivaeAerya> bsdunix: Like horiz and vert refresh rate?
[07:10] <atrus> RivaeAerya: my gut says the video card is misconfigured, but i'm not sure how.
[07:10] <mezziah> GhostFreeman: afaik it's still gnome in feisty
[07:10] <bsdunix> magnetron it's my fault. i wasn't paying attention earlier
[07:11] <mezziah> GhostFreeman: er, gaim
[07:11] <RivaeAerya> magnetron: When i typed my message another guy asked for help and it filled almost the entire screen for me so i thought it hasn't been read
[07:11] <joe4444> GhostFreeman: still GAIM in Feisty
[07:11] <RivaeAerya> atrus: ATI Radeon 9250, open source "ati" drivers
[07:11] <GhostFreeman> :(

[07:11] <joe4444> ...as it should be
[07:11] <Nalleman> Hi, i have bad frame rate when i launch 3d games (although glxgears runs ok) and bad sound. Im having "Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[07:11] <Nalleman> " graphic card. someone have any clue?
[07:11] <bsdunix> try 60 hz, lcd's have preset H and V values
[07:11] <Hock> _Andrew: well, it's not my script but it's rather long.  I don't know if there's support to read a mirc script for xchat - that would be ideal.
[07:11] <helpme> can someone help me install feisty... erase entire disk and install isnt working for me and I have tried seven times and the install progress just dissappers
[07:11] <bsdunix> helpme; is this a sata drive?
[07:11] <magnetron> RivaeAerya: if you include their name, the message will be highlighted for them. they will see it
[07:11] <mezziah> _Andrew: so pidgin at getdeb.net is clearly newer than gaim included in feisty, right?
[07:12] <RivaeAerya> Alright, i'll be back after i have fiddled with the  configs
[07:12] <helpme> bsdunix:  yes I believe so
[07:12] <atrus> RivaeAerya: not something i'm familiar with, sorry
[07:12] <joe4444> pidgin is always newer than gaim
[07:12] <joe4444> afaik
[07:12] <FreeFull> Nalleman: The games are just made for better graphics cards. To play them get a better laptop
[07:12] <_Andrew> mezziah: You can download it there. It works on my fiesty laptop
[07:12] <Hock> _andrew: so out of the question? not entirely but not very likely for me to do it.  it would be quite an undertaking I think.
[07:12] <mezziah> hmm, ok, i'll give it a try then, last time i checked gaim was horrible
[07:12] <garcialopez> hola
[07:12] <mezziah> _Andrew: thank you
[07:12] <garcialopez> soy espaola
[07:12] <mezziah> hola garcialopez, aqu solo se habla ingls, para hablar en espanol, visita el canal #ubuntu-es

[07:13] <bsdunix> helpme; the problem is an onboard software controller for the sata drive. you aint got the driver for it. try putting in a ata or scsi drive to verify
[07:13] <garcialopez> hola
[07:13] <_Andrew> Hock: You just need a trivia bot or it has to be your bot. Only the questions are important right?
