[00:00] <marsmissions> pelo: it was hard but i learned a lot
[00:00] <UbunNoob> I have just installed ubuntu 7.10 server and have no clue what i am doing
[00:00] <marsmissions> pelo: too bad kde 3.5 is ugly, if slackware ever ships with kde4 i'll probably use it
[00:00] <Sam-laptop> marsmissions: does 7.11 fix the SLUB issue?
[00:00] <B-rabbit> HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! from UNITED KINGDOM :)
[00:00] <Jack_Sparrow> jack-sparrow does not care what marsmissions thinks about slackware as he checks the topic of the channel
[00:00] <Pelo> marsmissions, I gave up after one try at installing, I coudlnT,even figure out what the installer wanted to know
[00:00] <Pelo> marsmissions, mind you I've learned a lot since them I could probably manage it
[00:00] <marsmissions> sam-laptop: 7.12 does, however it doesn;'t honor x.org settings
[00:01] <jgoo> big ben just finished. its 2008!!
[00:01] <marsmissions> jack_sparrow: i noticed someone inquiring about slackware, i gave my opinion
[00:01] <Sam-laptop> Yeah, I have 7.12 installed now and it's giving me no end of trouble.
[00:01] <Sam-laptop> specifically it won't run at 1400x1050 even though I added the modeline to xorg.conf
[00:01] <marsmissions> jack_sparrow: i'll try not to help out from now on ;)
[00:01] <sharperguy> Happy New Year
[00:01] <Sam-laptop> So I'm going back to 8.42.3
[00:01] <marsmissions> sam- laptop: yeah, the next release should fix that
[00:01] <Sam-laptop> Last known good configuration ;)
[00:01]  * Sam-laptop plans to never buy ATI again
[00:02] <stemount> NVIDIA ftw tbh
[00:02] <Sam-laptop> nVidia isn't /that/ much better
[00:02] <marsmissions> pelo: the installer requires that you follow it step by step,m it's actually pretty straight forward if you follow a tutorial,
[00:02] <Sam-laptop> but at least they don't introduce massive regressions every other release
[00:02] <marsmissions> sam- laptop: yeah but nvidia doesn't use excessive CPU power for AIGLX
[00:02] <Jack_Sparrow> marsmissionsSorry if I am grumpy.. I am still at the office...  Yes, Pelo I do have an office
[00:02] <Sam-laptop> Haha
[00:03] <marsmissions> sam- laptop: im still wiating for a release that doesn't use a lot of cpu for aiglx...
[00:03] <Pelo> marsmissions, I was just too new to linux when I tried, that is all
[00:03] <Sam-laptop> I need a whole bunch of things from ATI at this point
[00:03] <Sam-laptop> first being suspend support with SLUB
[00:03] <marsmissions> sam- laptop: as my kde 4 setup (compiled from svn daily) requires composit for the panel
[00:03] <matti> say Happy new year! (GMT)
[00:03] <Sam-laptop> marsmissions: gg
[00:03] <Pelo> Jack_Sparrow,  I am not surprised you have an office I would however be shocked to learn you have a life
[00:03] <Pelo> :-)
[00:03] <ryushe_> Hi there, I'm getting an API mismatch on the NVIDIA kernel module. nv driver also doesn't work, only the VESA driver works atm. Any suggestions?
[00:04] <Ace2016> !!!Happy New Year!!!
[00:04] <ryushe_> speak for yourself, it's still crappy old year here ;)
[00:04] <nicholas> Happy New Year to the people in Britain. :)
[00:04]  * Pelo wonders if this is going to happen in every single timezone
[00:04] <matti> Ops ;p Forget about say! :)
[00:04] <emmet> is only 7 in canada
[00:04] <Sam-laptop> ryushe_: Did you install from apt or did you use the nvidia installer?
[00:04] <arkanes> I'm looking for a USB 802.1lb dongle thats known to work out of the box in Gutsy, does anyone have any suggests for make/model?
[00:04] <osmosis> how do I find out what the install does differently from debootstrap?
[00:04] <marsmissions> sam- laptop: better drivers will come. im positive.
[00:05] <emmet> haha dongle
[00:05] <Sam-laptop> arkanes: My theory on network hardware is that Linksys is usually decent
[00:05] <Pelo> emmet, I'm aware of that
[00:05] <stemount> arkanes: why 802.11b?
[00:05] <nicholas> Does anyone know of any equalizer programs which can run on Linux?
[00:05] <arkanes> stemount: because my fingers are slow and didn't type g instead
[00:05] <Sam-laptop> stemount: probably cause he's running an 802.11b network! ;)
[00:05] <ryushe_> Sam-laptop > apt one gives error as well, so I deinstalled, and installed latest NVIDIA driver from the nvidia site as it claims it now supports my card :/
[00:05] <Sam-laptop> or that
[00:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Pelo If one more patient calls in on the second line I am going to give myself a lobotomy with a high speed handpiece
[00:05] <arkanes> I actually used to have a b network because of a b-only device, but I have since gotten rid of it ;)
[00:05] <z0r1> Is there an easy way to use a raw hard disk in VM Ware Server?
[00:05] <Pelo> nicholas, equaliser for what ? are you trying to fix an audio file or jsut make the sound out of yoru comp better ?
[00:06] <Toaster`> nicholas: audio equalizer?
[00:06] <arkanes> I've had good experience with linksys too but I'm fearful of the driver situation
[00:06] <stemount> Sam-laptop: but, wireless G adapters work with b too
[00:06] <Sam-laptop> Also, what the hell is this dkms thing?
[00:06] <Sam-laptop> stemount: true
[00:06] <stemount> arkanes: hehe
[00:06] <matti> nicholas: Yeah mate, you too :)
[00:06] <wolf4914> How come my backround pictures are zoomed so large?
[00:06] <arkanes> especially for USB devices since I don't know if madwifi supports them right
[00:06] <nicholas> Pelo: Just trying to make the sound coming out of my computer better.
[00:06] <wolf4914> regardless of resolution
[00:06] <nicholas> Toaster: Yes, an audio equalizer.
[00:06] <arkanes> so looking for someone who has one that worked to reccomend something
[00:06] <Task> how do I install the tk8.5.0 libraries?
[00:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Pelo As little as possible...  But This is a dental office...
[00:06] <Sam-laptop> Bah, restarting to try 8.42.3 again...
[00:07] <Pelo> wolf4914, right clcck the desktop select your image and change the zoom to stretch
[00:07] <Mister_Hand> hi there, does anyone know where to get an e17 package for gutsy?
[00:07] <Toaster`> nicholas: for the entire system, or for individual files?
[00:07] <Mister_Hand> i've looked, but can't seem to find any
[00:07] <Jack_Sparrow> !enlightenment
[00:07] <ubotu> Enlightenment (or "E") is a window manager for X, providing a useful, and good looking graphical shell in which to work. E17 is the current development version.
[00:07] <wolf4914> tried a;;
[00:07] <wolf4914> all*
[00:07] <nicholas> Toaster: Any of them, it doesn't matter.
[00:07] <wolf4914> same shit
[00:07] <Tilllinux> happy new year!
[00:07] <Ftyme> evening everyone
[00:07] <stemount> Happy  new year :)
[00:07] <stdin> Tilllinux, stemount: thanks, but the party is in #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:08] <Ftyme> if someone is feeling adventurous, I've been banging my head against a wall trying to solve a boot issue for a couple of hours
[00:08] <stemount> stdin: ah
[00:08]  * stemount runs
[00:08]  * Pelo will now start kissing random ppl every hour on the hour,  and he hasn'T shaved in 3 days
[00:08] <Pelo> Ftyme, does the adventure in question involve having to drag the problem out of you ?
[00:08] <marsmissions> pelo: thats horrible!
[00:09] <Ftyme> lol
[00:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Pelo..  Remember to look for an adams apple
[00:09] <Ftyme> nope, I wasn't going to barge in here and demand help tho
[00:09] <Ftyme> ;)
[00:09] <x-X-x> does anyone here recommend ffmpeg ?
[00:09] <Pelo> Jack_Sparrow, it isnT' an issue on this night
[00:09] <Ftyme> so I came in, indicated I had an issue, and waited for throngs of volunteers
[00:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Ftyme How about a better description of the problem
[00:09] <Pelo> x-X-x, we recommend ffmpeg for all your ffmpeg related needs, yes
[00:09] <Toaster`> nicholas: well, there is mp3gain in Synaptic
[00:09] <elda> What is the command to terminate a window?
[00:09] <Ftyme> ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/ebe83ef4-9771-40fc-b866-f361382d6b8d does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
[00:10] <nicholas> It only supports MP3s?
[00:10] <Pelo> elda, alt-f4 ?
[00:10] <Jack_Sparrow> !uuid
[00:10] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[00:10] <nicholas> Does it have a parametric equalizer as well?
[00:10] <Pelo> Ftyme,   when do you get this ?
[00:10] <Ftyme> I get this on boot
[00:10] <elda> It's a frozen window and alt f4 is not working
[00:10] <Toaster`> nicholas: there is also normalize
[00:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Ftyme  HAve you checked the uuid on your drive (s)
[00:10] <Ftyme> for a full explanation: http://www.littleblackdog.com/viewtopic.php?t=47641
[00:10] <Task> I have to install the TCL and The TK I have installed the TCL but for some reason dont know how to install the TK... can anyone help me? I need it to compile a eggdrop
[00:10] <Ftyme> jack-desktop: well, right now I can't get past initrmfs
[00:10] <magic_ninja> whats some lightweight alternatives to gnome-settings-daemon
[00:11] <Ftyme> and unfortunately, the disk I have is an install disk
[00:11] <Toaster`> nicholas: I've used both, and it's pretty straight forward.  a little scripting and time and you should have your whole library converted
[00:11] <Ftyme> I need to get a live disk and try and load up from that
[00:11] <nicholas> It says package normalize is not available.
[00:12] <Toaster`> nicholas: try normalize-audio
[00:12] <Ftyme> Jack_Sparrow: well, right now I can't get past initrmfs
[00:12] <Pelo> Ftyme, just replace the uuid in your fstab and grub menu.lst with /dev/sd**
[00:12] <Ftyme> Pelo: how do I get there without being able to boot?
[00:12] <Pelo> Ftyme,  the appropriate dev/sd** not with dev/sd** , I'M jsut being generic here
[00:12] <elda> what is the command Id type in the console where I can select the window to kill with the cursor?
[00:12] <ryushe_> how do I find out which version of ubuntu I'm running?
[00:12] <Pelo> Ftyme,  boot the live cd
[00:12] <nicholas> Toaster: Thank you.
[00:12] <arash> Just wondering, I've asked it and got answer before, but I forgot, where lies the files where are responsible for who gets permission for the /dev/* files (at ssesssion start)? I specifically thought of /dev/vboxsrv
[00:12] <Pelo> !version | ryushe_
[00:12] <ubotu> ryushe_: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell
[00:13] <Odd-rationale> ryushe_: System -> admin -> system monitor
[00:13] <ryushe_> Odd-rationale > heh, hard without X ;)
[00:13] <ryushe_> thanks Pelo
[00:13] <Ftyme> Pelo: ok, I better go download the live cd then
[00:13] <Pelo> Ftyme, how did you install ubuntu to start with ?
[00:13] <Ftyme> Pelo: I had downloaded the server version, but it just boots into an install
[00:13] <Odd-rationale> ryushe_: Oh, sorry.
[00:13] <elda> Nm it was xkill
[00:13] <Flughafen> !nvidia
[00:13] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[00:13] <Pelo> Ftyme,  can't you boot it in command line ?
[00:14] <Ftyme> Pelo: the server disk comes up with:
[00:14] <Ftyme> Pelo: Install to the hard disk
[00:14] <Ftyme> Check CD for defecgts
[00:14] <ryushe_> Flughafen > now only if that worked :)
[00:14] <Pelo> Ftyme, the alt cd mighjt do as well if you have a nvidia or ati card
[00:14] <nicholas> Toaster: I don't know how to use mp3gain and normalize.
[00:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Ftyme  Did you try and change any partition after the install.. that will change all uuid's
[00:14] <Flughafen> ryushe, what?
[00:14] <nicholas> I want an equalizer which I can control while the song is playing.
[00:14] <Ftyme> Jack_Sparrow: I had a disk finally give up its ghost, but it wasn't being used
[00:14] <ryushe_> Flughafen > installing the NVIDIA driver :/
[00:14] <Flughafen> ryushe, oh yea
[00:15] <Pelo> Ftyme,  do you bet the grub boot menu at all ? you can edit the lines from there temporaraly so you can boot
[00:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Ftyme SO you removed it right.. that is when everything stopped working
[00:15] <ryushe_> as it doesn't work for my card apparently, it's too new :(
[00:15] <Flughafen> ryushe, my comp is saying my hardware does not need restricted drivers, i just installed a new nvidia
[00:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Ftyme Trust Pelo on this one
[00:15] <emmet> .
[00:15] <Ftyme> Jack_Sparrow: well it stopped working, then I removed it, and didn't fix it
[00:15] <ryushe_> Flughafen > what card do you run?
[00:15] <Flughafen> ryushe, i had an ati until today
[00:15] <Toaster`> nicholas: normalize-[audio,ogg,mp3] -a DesiredTargetAmplitudeInDBFS FILE

[00:15] <Pelo> Jack_Sparrow,  way to pass the buck
[00:15] <Ftyme> Jack_Sparrow: going to.. gunna reboot and see if I can get the grub menu
[00:15] <Ftyme> ;)
[00:15] <arash> Where lies the files where are responsible for who gets permission for the /dev/* files (at ssesssion start)? I specifically thought of /dev/vboxsrv
[00:16] <ryushe_> Flughafen > same here, every time I try to install the driver manually, I get an API mismatch when I start x :/
[00:16] <joanki> i installed a program and installed everything into my home/mainuser folder... now i have dozens of items in there... how do i safely get these out of my home/mainuser folder?
[00:16] <Ftyme> ahhh

[00:16] <Flughafen> ryushe_, 8800gt
[00:16] <Ftyme>  I got a "boot" prompt
[00:16] <Q_Continuum> ATI question.  Have integrated 690g chipset (x1250) and add-in x1950, one monitor on each.  Any more difficult to get this working than both on the same display?
[00:16] <Flughafen> ryushe_, is tehre nothing that can be done?
[00:16] <poonaani> hey
[00:16] <vee_> Pelo   heres that link http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50330/

[00:16] <poonaani> iamma new to the liux
[00:16] <Toaster`> nicholas: copy a small subset of your files to a test folder to test on before going the whole way.
[00:16] <Pelo> vee_, link to what ?
[00:16] <poonaani> and i have one question
[00:16] <ryushe_> Flughafen > that's what I'm trying to find out. driver 'nv' doesn't work at all, currently only vesa driver works :(
[00:16] <vee_> Pelo my setup so far
[00:16] <Flughafen> ide rather not put my ATI card back
[00:17] <poonaani> why no start button?
[00:17] <Pelo> poonaani,  try askign in one line,  it's a busy channel
[00:17] <dxdemetriou> hi, can you tell me what is the utility that can be used in ./configure and install packages that are missed?
[00:17] <Odd-rationale> poonaani: It's linux.
[00:17] <Flughafen> ryushe_, does vesa work well?
[00:17] <ryushe_> Flughafen > I've just downloaded latest Nvidia driver that claims it has 8800GT support, but so far no luck :/
[00:17] <arash> poonaani, why a start button?, you've already started!
[00:17] <Ftyme> well
[00:17] <Flughafen> ryushe_, i though nvidia was supposed to work great with ubuntu
[00:17] <ryushe_> Flughafen > vesa has no accelleration :/
[00:17] <Ftyme> I got to "GNU GRUB
[00:17] <Ftyme> with a list of servers
[00:17] <Pelo> poonaani, cause you are not in windows, different ways of doing thjings,  , if you want a start button equivalent,   you can right clidck the top pannel , select add to pannel and go further down tfor  add menu button or someting similar
[00:17] <poonaani> but what if i want a rematch
[00:17] <Ftyme> ok
[00:18] <Flughafen> ryushe_ damn it
[00:18] <Ftyme> going to play with this for a minute
[00:18]  * Ftyme idles
[00:18] <ryushe_> Flughafen > it does, my old card was a 7600GT, worked perfectly
[00:18] <Pelo> !enter | Ftyme
[00:18] <ubotu> Ftyme: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[00:18] <arash> poonaani, rematch?
[00:18] <nicholas> Toaster: Could you suggest a graphical program?
[00:18] <Jack_Sparrow> dxdemetriou are you trying to build dependencies for a program you are trying to install manually.. I assume you checked the repos first.
[00:18] <Odd-rationale> poonaani: kubuntu has something like a "start button" if that is what you're looking for.
[00:18] <Toaster`> nicholas: :/ sorry
[00:18] <Flughafen> ryushe_, Ill be back in a bit, lemme know how your search goes
[00:18] <Ftyme> ubotu: ok, sorry

[00:18] <ryushe_> Flughafen > trying the downloaded nvidia driver again now tho
[00:18] <Toaster`> nicholas: I'm a bit of a cli type when it comes to this type of thing
[00:19] <poonaani> will it help me konquer my computer?
[00:19] <Odd-rationale> poonaani: The point of linux is to make it the way you want.
[00:19] <dxdemetriou> Jack_Sparrow, I'm trying to make wine to look better with it's native fonts. I saw it on other distribution, but I don't know what could be the problem on Ubuntu
[00:19] <Pelo> vee_,  join me in #pelo please
[00:19] <nicholas> :(
[00:19] <nicholas> Ok.
[00:19] <poonaani> o
[00:19] <nicholas> Toaster: Cli type? What does that mean?
[00:19] <Ftyme> Pelo:  how should I edit this... on the root=UUID=<<uuid> section.. should I just remove the UUID?
[00:19] <Jack_Sparrow> !msttcorefonts perhaps
[00:20] <poonaani> freedom is crippling...like when i move to america from iran
[00:20] <poonaani> i cannot move

[00:20] <timothy2> can anyone in here help me with a few problems I'm having?
[00:20] <Ftyme> HAH
[00:20] <timothy2> and a few questions
[00:20] <ryushe_> anyone here running a GeForce 8800 GT card and the nvidia drivers? If so, how did you get it to work?
[00:20] <Ftyme> I just used the newer kernel
[00:20] <arash> !question | timothy2
[00:20] <ubotu> timothy2: Don't ask to ask a question, ask the question --On One Line -- that you need answered, and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[00:20] <Ftyme> the older kenerl was the one with the issues
[00:21] <Jack_Sparrow> pelo he is booting from first partition of the first drive
[00:21] <Toaster`> ryushe_: 8800 GT here
[00:21] <timothy2> hehe, sorry
[00:21] <Ftyme> so I need to nuke the old kernel
[00:21] <thekillerplague1> hi does anyone know anything about gkdial
[00:21] <Rico> I need help assigning a static ip to my Ubuntu server via the terminal
[00:21] <poonaani> is a kernel a food
[00:21] <Ftyme> Pelo: thanks a million
[00:21] <Toaster`> ryushe_: I cheated and used envy
[00:21] <ryushe_> Toaster` > envy is reporting my card is not supported :/
[00:21] <thekillerplague1> pelo can you help me
[00:21] <Toaster`> eh?
[00:21] <Jack_Sparrow> ryushe_  Envy is a terrible thing to do to your computer
[00:22] <Pelo> Ftyme, you dont need to nuke the old kernel you just need to tell him wherne t is ,  you can repllace that uudi wit h  /dev/sda1 and this correctponds to hd0,0 in grub speak if you need to put it elsewhere
[00:22] <thekillerplague1> jack
[00:22] <Pelo> thekillerplague1,  not at this point
[00:22] <ryushe_> Jack_Sparrow > no shit, I tried the manual method first, driver installs fine, but when I start X I get "API Mismatch" :/
[00:22] <thekillerplague1> can anyone get me online with ubuntu on dial up
[00:22] <arash> Toaster` , smart move using envy, I've no idea why that great software is not supported, but you should uyse it as last resort only, not every1 wants to spend several days on configruring their grahpics card
[00:22] <Jordan_U> ryushe_, What GPU do you have? Did restricted manager not work if you need restricted drivers?
[00:22] <Ftyme> Pelo: I take that back, I went back to an older kernel
[00:22] <Jack_Sparrow> ryushe_ No need to be rude or use that kind of language...
[00:22] <ryushe_> Jordan_U > Geforce 8800GT, and no X atm. so can't get to restricted driver management atm
[00:22] <fivetwentysix> Hi I have a problem, when I'm playing warcraft III, when i alt tab, suddenly I can't alt tab back into warcraft III and can't find it anywhere!
[00:23] <yook> anyone know any good open source alternatives to cpanel?
[00:23] <arkanes> the fallback X config doesn't work for you?
[00:23] <timothy2> i have a data cd that I won't to copy the files from onto my ubuntu computer, first I received a message telling me it would not find the mount point, then I screwed up and put in a random mount point (home) now I cannot view the cd, copy the files, nor can I change the mount point...what do I do?
[00:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !envy
[00:23] <ubotu> envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[00:23] <Toaster`> arash: agreed, but from experience it's been good to me, but YMMV of course
[00:23] <ryushe_> Jack_Sparrow > I didn't mean to be rude. The 'no shit' was in response to envy being a bad thing to do to your computer ;)
[00:23] <Jack_Sparrow> arash Sarcasm is wasted in the channel...
[00:24] <pvl> does free nx only work with linux?
[00:24] <nickrud> timothy2, when you say you changed the mount point, what do you mean exactly?
[00:24] <arash> Jack_Sparrow: ?
[00:24] <thekillerplague1> can anyone get me online on ubuntu with dial up?
[00:24] <Jordan_U> ryushe_, run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" choose "vesa" or "nv" as the driver then restart X with "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart"
[00:24] <Rico> Can anyone help me with assigning a static ip with my Ubuntu server?
[00:24] <Jack_Sparrow> ryushe_ Not something to be offered as a solution to anything.. Period
[00:24] <timothy2> nickrub, i right-clicked on the CD, went into properties, clicked on the tab at the top (which I cannot see now) and changed the mount point from being blank to saying "home"
[00:25] <Toaster`> Jack_Sparrow: are you refering to envy or automagix (sp?)
[00:25] <pvl> does freenx only work with linux?
[00:25] <Jordan_U> pvl, The server only works with the X windowing system, which means any *NIX machine or even windows if you install X and use X applications
[00:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Toaster` Both
[00:25] <nickrud> timothy2, and when you insert the cd now, what exactly happens?
[00:25] <ryushe_> Jack_Sparrow > drop it, I wasn't being rude, I was just responding to the Envy thing you mentioned, end of story ;)
[00:25] <pvl> Jordan_U, k thanks
[00:25] <Jordan_U> pvl, The client works on all OS's
[00:25] <Jordan_U> pvl, np
[00:25] <ryushe_> Jordan_U > vesa driver works, nv driver does not (unsupported device)
[00:25] <ryushe_> vesa gives me X at least
[00:25] <abc> hay, i'm havin a problem, my son tried to get my gusty to use 2 monitors. in the process he changed something and now when i turn my computer on it says the the resulotion is not supported when the login screen comes up, thankfull i have a live disk, is there a way i can fix this without losing nething
[00:26] <arkanes> ryushe_: are you sure you have a real 8800GT and it's not faulty? Gutsy worked out of the box with one when I installed it at work
[00:26] <pvl> Jordan_U,  oh wait, does the computer that i want to 'control' have to run the server?
[00:26] <NeT_DeMoN_> can anyone tell me how to pull photos off a card?
[00:26] <thekillerplague1> can anyone get me online on ubuntu with dial up?
[00:26] <nickrud> !dialup | thekillerplague1
[00:26] <ubotu> thekillerplague1: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up
[00:26] <ryushe_> arkanes > yeah, works fine under windows (yes, I dual boot)
[00:26] <Jordan_U> pvl, Yes ( at least I think that is the correct terminology )
[00:26] <fivetwentysix> Hi I have a problem, when I'm playing warcraft III, when i alt tab, suddenly I can't alt tab back into warcraft III and can't find it anywhere!
[00:26] <arkanes> ryushe_: what happens when the fallback X config tries to load?
[00:26] <kitche> abc: yes reboot into your system and run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and reconfigure your X.org
[00:26] <timothy2> nickrud, I now do not get any message from the CD at all about the mount point, neither am I able to open it. after clicking it, nothing at all happens, when it should open it...right clicking and going to properties now no longer shows me the mount point settings tab, and two others, which I don't know what they are
[00:26] <pvl> Jordan_U, gotcha, thanks
[00:26] <thekillerplague1> ok ubotu brb
[00:26] <Garu-> http://MeineEx.ath.cx/?id=f95630f0
[00:26] <ryushe_> arkanes > what fallback X config? I only have xorg.conf
[00:27] <Rico> can anyone help me with setting a static ip for my server?
[00:27] <NeT_DeMoN_> :|
[00:27] <nickrud> timothy2, can you unmount the cd by right clicking it?
[00:27] <Jack_Sparrow> thekillerplague1 Your question would be better phrased if you included..   I need help with a winmodem/softmodem
[00:27] <timothy2> nickrub, just one moment, let me get the CD
[00:27] <abc> kitche how do i do that, i can't login or ne thing once the ubunto loading screen pops up it goes black
[00:27] <arash> fivetwentysix - eh, isn't there a tiny box with warcarft you can doubleclick? anyway, either case, you should ask at #winehq (in case u use wine)
[00:27] <arkanes> ryushe_: what driver did the installer choose and what fails when it tries to start up, then?
[00:27] <Lagginator> HAPPY NEW YEAR!
[00:27] <nickrud> timothy2, is it only this cd that's having problems, can you mount others fine?
[00:27] <timothy2> nickrud, sorry I keep saying rub, :)
[00:28] <ryushe_> arkanes > Nvidia driver atm is 169.07, latest version that added support for the 8800GT as of 20 dec.
[00:28] <timothy2> nickrud, no others are having the same problem, but my cd's are in the other room
[00:28] <nickrud> timothy2, ok
[00:28] <SnackPack> oi.
[00:28] <arkanes> ryushe_: what driver did the installer choose, though?
[00:28] <ryushe_> arkanes > what installer? I have the kernel headers and source here, I just ran the nvidia installer as I've always done
[00:28] <Rico> can anyone help me assign a static ip on my server?
[00:29] <arkanes> ryushe_: when you installed ubuntu
[00:29] <q_a_z_steve> okay, so I have Gutsy running persistent, and I tried to turn on my restricted driver for nvidia, well it is now checked, but still not in use, and every time I do so it says: Reconfiguring X.org video drivers is not possible : /etc/X11/xorg.conf is invalid or does not exist
[00:29] <arkanes> ryushe_: or are you adding the card to an existing ubuntu installation?
[00:29] <NeT_DeMoN_> anyone?
[00:29] <ryushe_> arkanes > that was quite some time ago, back when I still had a 5950 ;)
[00:29] <ryushe_> arkanes > yes
[00:29] <stemount> Rico I could help you with that
[00:29] <q_a_z_steve> nickrud: little help. How are you btw?
[00:29] <Rico> alright, stemount
[00:29] <nickrud> q_a_z_steve, how'd you know I was about to type something :0
[00:29] <arkanes> ryushe_: try running dpkg-reconfigure and seeing what it chooses
[00:30] <timothy2> nickrud, I now get the original message that I had before "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'UDF Volume'
[00:30] <stemount> Rico see PM
[00:30] <abc> kitche how do i do that? i can't login it goes black at the loading screen
[00:30] <ryushe_> arkanes > the option it comes back with as the 'default' is the nvidia driver
[00:30] <nickrud> q_a_z_steve, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg , choose nv, then try the restricted again
[00:30] <fenasi> can't we use exe s in ubuntu
[00:30] <Ftyme> Pelo: definitely a 2.6.22-14-server kernel issue. I changed the root to /dev/hda1 and it still chokes on me.. so I'm going to start using the 2.6.20-16-server kernel
[00:30] <arkanes> ryushe_: and that doesn't boot with an API error?
[00:30] <arkanes> ryushe_: or was that your hand-built one?
[00:30] <Pelo> Ftyme,  best of luck
[00:30] <pvl> would thinkgs made for preve ubuntu realeases work on gutsy?
[00:31] <fenasi> if not how i'll install crysis
[00:31] <ryushe_> arkanes > any xorg.conf using the nvidia driver comes back with API mismatch atm
[00:31] <q_a_z_steve> nickrud: ok
[00:31] <ryushe_> altho the driver itself builds fine
[00:31] <Eyemean> happy new year to everyone here
[00:31] <fenasi> i want exe s in ubuntuuuuuuu
[00:31] <arkanes> can you boot with vesa or nv?
[00:31] <Ftyme> Pelo: no problems, a quick change in menu.lst and it should work fine. I appreciate all the help
[00:31] <Eyemean> does any1 have crossover installed on gutsy?
[00:31] <joanki> ughhhh anyone know how i can watch full abc online tv show episodes? not working with firefox
[00:31] <nickrud> timothy2, ok, we'll remove the custom stuff you put in.   Type in a terminal,   gconftool --recursive-unset  /system/storage/volumes/*
[00:31] <timothy2> nickrud, the CD drive also does not show in the icon that there is a CD present, but when I go into properties and click on "volume" I can see and change the mount properties
[00:31] <pvl> would packages amde for prev versions of ubuntu work on gutsy?
[00:32] <ryushe_> arkanes > yes, vesa works, nv driver states my card is unsupported
[00:32] <fenasi> i dont like ubuntu win 3.1 is better
[00:32] <bitterbug> heh, i installed ubuntu on the ps3, and changed the desktop to fluxbox to save some memory... it's saving memory all right. it's a blue desktop with no access to apps or anything :) last time i remember configuring something like that was 1994 :)
[00:32] <B-rabbit> fenasi, u should get wine to rux exe files
[00:32] <kitche> abc: chroot into the system with your livecd after it's mounted
[00:32] <Garu-> http://meineex.ath.cx/
[00:32] <q_a_z_steve> nickrud: md5sum: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Input/output error cp: cannot open `/etc/X11/xorg.conf' for reading: Input/output error
[00:32] <arkanes> ryushe_: it seems possible that the firmare that's loaded by the nvidia driver is out of date
[00:32] <q_a_z_steve> nickrud: do I need to reboot?
[00:32] <q_a_z_steve> I can
[00:32] <arkanes> ryushe_: have you tried removing your hand-built one and just using the package?
[00:32] <nickrud> q_a_z_steve, try opening it with gedit.  No sudo privs, just open it
[00:33] <timothy2> nickrud, i typed that in and nothing happened
[00:33] <ryushe_> arkanes > the nvidia driver is pretty new tho, released 20 dec. 2007, with specific support added for 8800GT cards ;)
[00:33] <timothy2> nickrud, meaning that I received no messages in the terminal
[00:33] <nickrud> timothy2, you mean you got no output. That's good. Now, eject the cd and reinsert
[00:33] <krys2008> hey im having issues with plug-in's on in firefox
[00:33] <timothy2> nickrud, ok
[00:34] <brenix> anyone here use the dwm window manager??
[00:34] <arkanes> ryushe_: what I'm thinking is that you might have the latest part of the open source bits but you're using an older version of the binary only firmware
[00:34] <timothy2> nickrud, I still get the same error message "Cannot mount volume" as before
[00:34] <q_a_z_steve> nickrud: I have three xorg.conf.failsafe opened
[00:34] <nickrud> q_a_z_steve, not interested in failsafe, just the original
[00:34] <ryushe_> arkanes > so how would I fix that if the nvidia driver is a freshly compiled binary?
[00:34] <mavsman> I installed AWN and when I try to open it, nothing happens, could I have installed it wrong?  How do I uninstall it?
[00:34] <nickrud> timothy2, ok, next type in a terminal, ah phone. brb
[00:35] <timothy2> nickrud, no problem thank you
[00:35] <brobostigon> happy new year, and have a good linux year.and let linux have a good year,
[00:35] <arkanes> ryushe_: I'd have to punt to specific support for the nvidia driver, to make sure you have the lastest binary blob
[00:36] <nickrud> timothy2, type in a terminal,   tail -f /var/log/syslog   . That will monitor the system log, and show us what's happening. Once you've done that, eject and reinstert the cd, and put the text that's spat out on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[00:36] <joanki> anyone ever experience this with ubuntu?: sound works in ubuntu, but now sound doesn't work in partitioned windows part nor in virtualbox running windows xp?
[00:36] <ryushe_> arkanes > well, besides getting the latest driver, I don't see what else I can try. The driver compiles fine, so I'm guessing it's not the kernel headers being an issue here :/
[00:36] <arkanes> joanki: you need to install flash 8, and then you need to spoof your user-agent so the ABC website doesn't prevent you just because you're on linux
[00:37] <joanki> how do i spoorf user-agent, arkanes?
[00:37] <arkanes> ryushe_: the nvidia driver is in two parts, theres an open source stubloader and a binary blob (that's why it's restricted and non-free)
[00:37] <arkanes> joanki: theres a firefox extension to make it easy
[00:37] <abc> kitche i am lost in the sause i got the ternimal open what do i need to do, this is not as much like dos as i thought
[00:37] <nickrud> q_a_z_steve, can you open the file?
[00:37] <Jack_Sparrow> !flashissues
[00:37] <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.
[00:37] <arkanes> joanki: just search the extensite for user agent spoof
[00:37] <kitche> abc: mount your drive that your system is installed into
[00:37] <joanki> o
[00:37] <joanki> wow
[00:37] <joanki> that sounds hard
[00:38] <arkanes> blame ABC for the second part
[00:38] <Tigey> Hi all,  I need a little help with this.  Trying to gt screen resolution up to 1920x1200.  Just installd most recent video drivers, thought that would show more screen resolutions in the list.  I have  some experience with Unix/Solaris, not much to speak of with Linux/Ubuntu
[00:38] <arkanes> they're specifically forbidding you if your browser says you run anything except windows
[00:38] <joanki> wow
[00:38] <timothy2> nickrud, ok
[00:38] <abc> kitche ok i have it monted
[00:38] <ryushe_> arkanes > I've always compiled the nvidia driver simply by running the nvidia run file, on multiple versions of debian based distros. So far, I've never downloaded anything else BUT the run file
[00:38] <misterblonde2517> i just installed unbuntu using the command line interface and the desktop just finished reloading log system, is there anything elsse i have to do?
[00:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !res > Tigey
[00:38] <nickrud> timothy2, give me the url, so I can find it :)
[00:38] <kitche> abc: then run chroot <place you mounted> /bin/bash
[00:39] <ryushe_> arkanes > I've cleaned up everything this time, deinstalled X even, still nothing when reinstalling :/
[00:39] <Voyage__>  why is the ubuntu CD full of windows binaries?
[00:39] <brenix> can anyone help me with dwm??
[00:39] <nickrud> arkanes, is that true for mac's as well?
[00:39] <timothy2> nickrud, sorry, I was pasting it when I said that, lol.... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50334/
[00:39] <kitche> brenix: what do you need help with?
[00:39] <nickrud> timothy2, oh, lol
[00:39] <Tigey> Thanks Jack_Sparrow
[00:39] <arkanes> nickrud: I haven't checked but the denial message says it's windows only
[00:39] <brenix> im trying to configure dwm
[00:39] <kitche> Voyage__: so you can install abiword and such in Windows
[00:39] <brenix> i have it installed and working, I guess im not too familiar with it
[00:40] <brenix> trying to figure out how to customize it
[00:40] <joanki> arkanes, i have flash 9 something is that ok?
[00:40] <kitche> brenix: ok you need to edit config.h in the source code
[00:40] <brobostigon> wouldnt running IE under wine think they / you are running windows
[00:40] <ryushe_> bah, I'll just download a fresh copy of 7.10 and install that, about time for a decent reinstall anyways :./
[00:40] <Ftyme> Once again, thanks everyone, I'm gunna go run away and hide somewhere
[00:40] <brenix> ok, yea I downloaded a custom one already, just getting bugs when trying to compile it..it may be the config i downloaded
[00:41] <arkanes> oh, it does say mac is available
[00:41] <arkanes> just linux then
[00:41] <arkanes> joanki: do you get this message: "Windows 2000/XP/Vista - Internet Explorer, Firefox
[00:41] <arkanes> Mac - Firefox, Safari"
[00:41] <joanki> yes
[00:41] <kitche> brenix: well if it's an older config.h it's not compatiable with the latest dwm
[00:41] <ryushe_> arkanes > thanks for your time so far dude, I'm off for now
[00:41] <brenix> ah thats possibly why. I used apt-get to install dwm, not sure which version it is though..
[00:42] <kitche> brenix: you need to get dmenu as well it makes dwm much more useable
[00:42] <q_a_z_steve> nickrud: sorry chatzilla died
[00:42] <deostroll> Can any one help me with booting ubuntu 5.10 breezy badger? Getting a "/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off"...error
[00:42] <joanki> dudes you can't do anything fun on linux!
[00:42] <joanki> and if you do, you gotta know linux REALLLL well
[00:42] <brenix> kitche: thanks, i'll see what I can do
[00:42] <kitche> brenix: well then your running a binary to configure dwm you need to grab the source code and install build-essential
[00:42] <joanki> to trick everything into letting you in
[00:42] <q_a_z_steve> I have three xorg.conf type files. the only one that opens is xorg.conf.failsafe
[00:43] <nickrud> timothy2, I thought the error was happening at the hal layer, but the kernel itself is saying it can't identify the disk. I'm in over my head on that.
[00:43] <Odd-rationale> This chat room is pretty fun...
[00:43] <Sonja> i plugged in my camera in the computer. where are the photos if i want o browse them??
[00:43] <mavsman> When I try to open AWN it does nothing, what might be the problem?
[00:43] <q_a_z_steve> ?
[00:43] <kitche> brenix: dwm is configured though it's source code
[00:43] <Sonja> and how do i safely disconnect?
[00:43] <timothy2> nickrud, hey, thanks a lot for trying
[00:43] <timothy2> nickrud, anyone you can rcommend me asking?
[00:43] <nickrud> q_a_z_steve, yup, still here.
[00:43] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[00:43] <joanki> wow lots of people on during new years eve
[00:44] <misterblonde2517> so ive installed unbuntu literally 7 times and every time (cli, normal, alternate cd) right after the slapsh screen it goes totally black, any ideas
[00:44] <brobostigon> joanki: with me its nnew years day already
[00:44] <joanki> anyone ever experience this with ubuntu?: sound works in ubuntu, but now sound doesn't work in partitioned windows part nor in virtualbox running windows xp?
[00:44] <joanki> brobostigon, cooooool
[00:45] <nickrud> timothy2, I'd change the question, saying that 'the kernel claims that no UDF-fs  fileset can be found' and 'Unable to identify CDROM format'. These are known good disks, I can read them in windows?
[00:45] <brobostigon> joanki: and enjoying a very big glass of red wine and a whiskey
[00:45] <arialth> I'm having problems getting Ubuntu 7.10 to boot, right after i installed it. I get the ubuntu flash screen, and it loads all the way, but as sooon as the GDM would normally pop up, the system hangs and i get a black screen. I did some backdoor-type login from recovery mode and managed to start the GDM but when i try to log in i get the error window that says my session lasted shorter than 10 seconds. I look at the session errors log and i see a GTK+ warni
[00:45] <timothy2> nickrud, ok, thanks
[00:45] <brobostigon> and working on learning some python
[00:45] <nickrud> q_a_z_steve, can you open the file with gedit, or are you getting the same error?
[00:45] <misterblonde2517> arialth, sounds like whats going on with me, any ideas for a fix?
[00:46] <q_a_z_steve> nickrud: same
[00:46] <timothy2> the kernel claims that no UDF-fs  fileset can be found' and 'Unable to identify CDROM format'. These are known good disks, I can read them in windows
[00:46] <deostroll> anyone who can sympathize with me?
[00:46] <nickrud> q_a_z_steve, sounds like a disk problem to me. I'd boot the live cd, and fsck the partition before I did anything else
[00:46] <arialth> further down the log says: Couldn't save user-dirs.dirs and then could not create gnome accelerators directory '/home/arialth/.gnome2/accels': permission denied
[00:46] <Jordan_U> timothy2, Were they created in Vista?
[00:47] <timothy2> Jordan_U, yes they were
[00:47] <abc> kitche i'm having issues i think cuz it's called "93.2 GB Volume: disk"
[00:47] <arialth> all i really want to do is actually be able to log in, i mean geese
[00:47] <brobostigon> timothy2: can you run fdisk on it, it may be ablr to give you the format to mount it??
[00:47] <arkanes> arialth: did you set your home directory to read-only?
[00:47] <arkanes> or otherwise change persmissions on it?
[00:47] <q_a_z_steve> nickrud: done.
[00:48] <timothy2> brobostigon, fdisk is a program?
[00:48] <arialth> misterblonde2517: i have no clue. i managed to log in as root from a recovery login starting xorg manually and i saw nothing on the system logs that would denote any reason to crash
[00:48] <brobostigon> timothy2: yes it yes.
[00:48] <arialth> arkanes: i dont think so but let me go check it quickly
[00:49] <Jordan_U> timothy2, IIRC Vista changed something in the way it formatted DVD's, there is a way to get the newer one's to mount though
[00:49] <timothy2> brobostigon, I will need to install it first, I'm guessing, because i do not see it yet
[00:49] <Eyemean> hit waat is a simple avi editor to just cut movies?
[00:49] <Eyemean> on gutsy
[00:49] <brobostigon> timothy2: nno fdisk is already there
[00:49] <timothy2> Jordan_U, ok, how is that?
[00:49] <Jordan_U> timothy2, I'm searching
[00:49] <timothy2> Jordan_U, thank you
[00:50] <deostroll> what to do if grub is detecting the wrong hd and is not able to boot?
[00:50] <timothy2> brobostigon, ok, i'm looking for it then
[00:50] <abc> in the ternimal how do i corectaly enter 93.2 GB Volume: disk so it understands?
[00:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Pelo..  Take care...  Going to head home and hide out for the night.

[00:57] <arialth> I need help getting ubuntu 7.10 to boot right after insall. For some reason, i get the ubuntu splash screen, and when it finishes loading and the GDM would normally pop up, the system hangs at a black screen!!!
[00:57] <Pelo> drnaeem, pleas stop using the enter key for pucntuation , this is a busy channel and it makes is very hard to follow , just ask one queiston in one line and we will do our best
[00:57] <drnaeem> thanks
[00:58] <drnaeem> my desk top window is too big,i have tried to make it small but its not working
[00:58] <timothy2> brobostigon, typed in the name, and it did not work...I typed in /dev/CD-RW/DVD±RW
[00:58] <timothy2> brobostigon, there is an extra / in there
[00:58] <Jordan_U> timothy2, Ok, I've found a bug report with a few possible solutions, but first lets try mounting it manually
[00:58] <Pelo> drnaeem, what do you mean by that ,  is the desktop area larger then your monitor ?
[00:58] <timothy2> Jordan_U, ok, sounds good
[00:59] <drnaeem> yes,the window which comes is larger than my monitor
[00:59] <Jordan_U> timothy2, In a terminal run "sudo mkdir /media/udftest" then try to mount with "sudo mount -t udf -o ro /dev/cdrom /media/udftest"
[00:59] <il3dsm> I need help with remote desktop, I can't even connect when I'm on the same PC (vncviewer localhost), it keeps on giving me the Connection refused (111) error. :[ It connects to the other PC fine and can view the desktop, but I can't view it's desktop from another pc. Help.
[01:00] <Pelo> drnaeem, this is where I get confused,  either you are talking about the destkop area or a single window is bigger then the monitor , if a single window for an app is bigger just resise it , not sure how to fis the otehr proble, might be athat you need to set your resolution lower
[01:00] <Eyemean> matir is there one for avi files pls?
[01:00] <Eyemean> video editor
[01:01] <drnaeem> ok

[01:02] <Zarxrax> I seem to have broken ubuntu. When I try to boot up my laptop it gets stuck after it displays "* Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [ OK ]".   It never gets to the desktop.
[01:02] <Pelo> arialth, fresh install ? try with the alternate install cd ,  it is usaly less fussy during the instalation
[01:02] <il3dsm> I need help with remote desktop, I can't even connect when I'm on the same PC (vncviewer localhost), it keeps on giving me the Connection refused (111) error. :[ It connects to the other PC fine and can view the desktop, but I can't view it's desktop from another pc. Help.
[01:02] <kitche>  Zarxrax your probably at the login prompt most likely
[01:02] <mikubuntu> i forgot how to do this ... downloaded flock, it went to archive manager as default, and i thought then all i had to do was 'extract' b ut that din't seem to work ... any ideas?
[01:03] <kitche> Zarxrax: for some reason Ubuntu puts the login: before * Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [ OK ]
[01:03] <Zarxrax> no, it doesnt get to the login prompt
[01:03] <Zarxrax> i just see a black screen with some text
[01:03] <Jordan_U> timothy2, Did that work?
[01:03] <kitche> Zarxrax: your at the login prompt you just don't know it
[01:03] <kitche> Zarxrax: type your username and password and I bet you login
[01:03] <arialth> Pelo: it is a fresh install, and fresh from the alternate cd too
[01:03] <abc> ...kiche i am so lost
[01:03] <Jordan_U> timothy2, nvm, just saw your last post
[01:04] <foehawk> Hey, I'm getting CPU I/O wait spikes on Gutsy and I can't figure out the cause. :/
[01:04] <timothy2> Jordan_U, lol
[01:04] <Zarxrax> ok i tried typing them in... nothing
[01:04] <Zarxrax> they just diaplyed on the screen
[01:04] <Zarxrax> displayed
[01:04] <Eyemean> is there  software that will allow me to open a close drives with just the click of a buton?
[01:04] <Pelo> arialth, you might want to boot the command line and reconfigure x
[01:04] <Jordan_U> timothy2, Are you running Ubuntu 7.10 ?
[01:04] <arialth> Pelo: already ran sudo Xorg -configure
[01:04] <timothy2> Jordan_U, yes
[01:05] <Pelo> arialth, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:05] <arialth> Pelo: i will try it i second
[01:06] <Pelo> arialth, when in doubt just use thedefault answer provided or leave blank
[01:06] <arialth> Pelo: please note that I WAS able to run the Xserver from a root recovery console
[01:07] <daddy_fizz> anyone:  I got a USB persistent installation running.  When I now use the ubuntu menu to boot grub.exe (which in turn boots dos/bartpe recovery disks) it runs these recovery disks much much slower
[01:07] <daddy_fizz> any suggestions?
[01:07] <Pelo> arialth, noted,  but root gets to do a lot of things regular users don't
[01:07] <abc> how do i get the terminal to reconize spaces in  a name?
[01:07] <^Tom_> put a backslash before the space
[01:07] <crdlb> abc: "use quotes" or\ escape\ it
[01:08] <^Tom_> this\ is\ a\ filename\ with\ spaces
[01:08] <^Tom_> or "this is a filename with spaces"
[01:08] <abc> thanks
[01:08] <arialth> Pelo: I see. How much memory should I give the video card? its an nvidia geforce go 6150 i believe with 64mb. *this is a laptop if that makes any difference*
[01:08] <infinitycircuit> !bluetooth
[01:08] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[01:09] <Pelo> arialth,  you specify the amount of memory already allocated to the card in the bios or on the card itself
[01:09] <timothy2> Jordan_U, did you get my last message?
[01:09] <arialth> pelo: is there any way to figure that out WITHOUT rebooting? Not only that, i have pheonixbios and it doesnt let me see things like that
[01:09] <Jordan_U> timothy2, yes, Can you pastebin the contents of /etc/fstab ?
[01:09] <Pelo> arialth, if this is an nvidia card you might want to use the vesa driver until you get the gui and can install the restricted driver or get the binairy driver runing
[01:10] <timothy2> Jordan_U, yes, one moment
[01:10] <Zarxrax> i got logged in but its at a command prompt. How can I tell it to start gnome?
[01:10] <Pelo> arialth, check the comp's documentation,  but if you were told 64 megs at some point and haven't mess with it , put 64 meg in now
[01:10] <abc> kitche ok i did that and now the terminal just has a ">"
[01:11] <arialth> Pelo: a little late for switching from NV to VESA but if this doesnt work i will try it. i left the vid mem up to auto
[01:11] <il3dsm> I need help with remote desktop, I can't even connect when I'm on the same PC (vncviewer localhost), it keeps on giving me the Connection refused (111) error. :[ It connects to the other PC fine and can view the desktop, but I can't view it's desktop from another pc. Help.
[01:11] <timothy2> Jordan_U, here it is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50339/
[01:11] <Pelo> arialth, good call
[01:11] <Jordan_U> Zarxrax, "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start" or to go strait to gnome without re-logging in just "startx" ( do not run startx as root! )
[01:12] <arialth> Pelo: its not that i dont know what im doing, but i've never had these problems before...
[01:13] <abc> can ne one pich up where hitche left off? my son was screwin with the comp tryin 2 get dule monitors he messed up the resulition now when i start up it goed black at the loading screen sayin not supported
[01:13] <abc> i'm on a live disk right now
[01:14] <Pelo> arialth, I'm glad one of us know what he's doing :-)
[01:14] <Jordan_U> timothy2, I would like you to try something, but remember how to put things back to default afterward, run "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" and put a "#" at the begining of the last line, save the file and try re-inserting the disk
[01:14] <timothy2> Jordan_U, how do I put things back afterward?
[01:14] <timothy2> Jordan_U, just remove the # ?
[01:15] <Jordan_U> timothy2, Yes
[01:15] <arialth> Pelo: mouse protocol: what to use?  If I do startx, then it says fatal server error: no screens found
[01:16] <Jordan_U> timothy2, In almost all configuration files a "#" means "ignore anything on this line" or "ignore anything after this character" it's basically the same as removing the line but easier to set back
[01:16] <arialth> pelo: its the reconfig menu for people who dont look back
[01:16] <Pelo> arialth, you can always do it again
[01:16] <Jordan_U> Zarxrax, What happened before you were thrown to a terminal?
[01:17] <Pelo> arialth, anyway all this does is create the xorg.conf file, and a few extra bits, you can edit those manualy if you need to after for smallish things
[01:17] <Zarxrax> well, the last thing that happened was I changed the desktop wallpaper, and then I tested out the suspend or hibernate functions, the laptop locked up, and then I have to force it to power down

[01:21] <arkanes> doesn't bt integrity checking do the hashing after writing to disk?
[01:21] <Pelo> arialth, you can look that error up in the forum if you stil get it but I think the reconfigure probably took care of it ,  also do not forget to try the vesa driver
[01:21] <murf3326> Sometimes when selecting a screen saver in Ubuntu 7.10 the gnome desktop will grash and restart to the login screen.  I'm using a nvidia 7950GT card with the restricted drivers... dual screen.  Anyone know if this is a known bug or is it a problem with my install?
[01:22] <arialth> Pelo: yeah it didnt boot again. it crashed. im gonna try and do another reconfigure... i looked up the gtk+ error but i did not find anything really helpful
[01:22] <timothy2> Jordan_U, I will need to leave soon, do you think I'll have enough time to finish?
[01:22] <Rockoman> hey can someone help me? I just installed Frostwire on gutsy and I can't find where the files are and how to open the program.
[01:22] <il3dsm> murf3326, try removing the second screen and see if it stops

[01:22] <timothy2> Jordan_U, ok, thanks
[01:23] <dox> hi. i have som little problem.... i wanted to change my ubuntu skin via emerald... so i downloaded a skin from gnome-look.org and put it into the emerald theme manager.... but i can just aktivate it via 'emerald --replace' in the console.... and when i close the terminal...my windowdecorator are gone...(with die Close, minimize etc. buttons..). And i cant undo it...the 'normal' skin is gone too now...
[01:23] <timothy2> Jordan_U, do you want me to reset the fstab file?
[01:23] <nickrud> Aishiko, reinstall only, you can't upgrade from one architecture to another
[01:23] <Rockoman> How do I find an installed program?
[01:23] <Aishiko> nickrud, thank you
[01:23] <Jordan_U> timothy2, In that line you commented, copy and paste it ( uncommented ) and change "udf,iso9660" to "auto" ( your fstab will then look like this : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50341/ )
[01:23] <nickrud> Rockoman, dpk -L <packagename> | grep /bin
[01:23] <bitterbug> woohoo! you know you're a nerd when you feel the satisfaction of running an SNES game on your PS3
[01:24] <MrSmurfing> hi
[01:24] <arialth> dox: when you close the terminal, i believe it kills any child processes the terminal was running unless they detached first. What this means is that, even though you ran emerald, when you shut the terminal, it killed emerald too
[01:24] <abc> my son screw up gusty he was tryin to get dule monitors, long story short he messed up the resulotion @ the loading screen it now goes black sayin not supported and goed black, i'm on a live disk
[01:24] <timothy2> Jordan_U, then reinsert?
[01:24] <Rockoman> I can't figure out how to open it ;/
[01:24] <Lam_> what's the best PNG optimizer?
[01:24] <dox> arialth  when i close the terminal, my hole bars(close,minimize etc) are gone :>
[01:25] <nickrud> Rockoman, do you know the package name?
[01:25] <arialth> Dox: try pressing alt+F2 and running metacity
[01:25] <arialth> that normally works for me
[01:25] <nightstalker> Hello I wish you all a great 2008
[01:25] <Jordan_U> timothy2, If that does not work then instead of replacing it with "auto" try removing the "iso9660" but keep the "udf" ( get rid of the comma ) * this will break mounting regular DVD's and CDs *
[01:25] <Rockoman> No, it opened staight up from Firefox.
[01:25] <bitterbug> abc: does CTRL-ALT-+ switch to another resolution for you?
[01:25] <Rockoman> i didnt save it to disk
[01:25] <murf3326> il3dsm: I'll give that a shot thanks.
[01:25] <Rockoman> and it installed
[01:26] <nickrud> Rockoman, that's not very clear ;(
[01:26] <Rockoman> i just dont know how to open the program ;/
[01:26] <Joelito> Hi all :)
[01:26] <XxValetexX> Rockoman:  which program?

[01:26] <brif8> I'm wanting to boot Ubuntu from a USB stick with encrypted FS.  I have managed to find a debian one,  stops short of a GUI, just std. text install.  I'm trying to add gnome gnome-core and x-window-system.  I would have preferred Ubuntu  (1)  Anyone know of a guide to install ubuntu this way?  OR (2) Can I now convert the stick to Ubuntu with a dist-upgrade??
[01:26] <dox> arialth that works, but after the next restart it's gone, right?
[01:26] <Joelito> Which is a good IDE for wx?
[01:27] <XxValetexX> Rockoman:  it should be on applications->internet
[01:27] <abc> bitterbug, yes it does THANK YOU sooo much!
[01:27] <XxValetexX> Rockoman:  ins't it?
[01:27] <nickrud> dox, if you run it as   metacity --replace , it should be permanent
[01:27] <Rockoman> It's not because I didn't install from the Add/Remove menu
[01:27] <arialth> dox: it shouldnt be. Next time, try running emerald --replace from Alt+F2
[01:27] <XxValetexX> Rockoman:  me neither
[01:27] <bitterbug> abc: awesome :)
[01:27] <Jordan_U> brif8, No on #2

[01:28] <Jordan_U> timothy2, You get the same error message?

[01:41] <JockeTF> scragar: You have to grab the SVN version, the one in the repositories is broken.

[01:42] <DjViper> aorthr33: possible and not a problem at all
[01:43] <nickrud> aorthr33, people do it all the time, they choose at the login screen
[01:43] <arialth> jordan_u: i am presented with the login screen. I have gotten this far by myself, but when i try to log in i get an error
[01:43] <aorthr33> DJ, can you point me to some resources that coudl help with the 'how-to' part?
[01:43] <aorthr33> or nick?
[01:44] <nickrud> aorthr33, simply install xfce4 , then when you are at the login screen:  hit the options button, then session and choose
[01:44] <aorthr33> thanks nick...do you know if you can use Compiz w/xfce?   probably won't, but still curious.
[01:44] <SeanNieuwoudt> hi :)
[01:44] <nickrud> aorthr33, no, I'm not sure, but I would think so.

[01:47] <yanger> Hi, I just setup Xubuntu via mini.iso and it's a dual boot (XP+xubuntu) .. currently grub defaults to Xubuntu.. can I change that? I'm looking in the /etc/ folder, and it only has /etc/grub.d which contains 1 file: memtest+ or something..
[01:47] <Flughafen> !nvidia
[01:47] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:47] <arialth> jordan_u: the error log (~/.xsession-errors) has this: Gtk-warning **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid. This is not a supported function of GTK+. You must create a helper program instead." two times, and then at the end: "/etc/gdm/xsession: Beginning session setup...    Can't save user-dirs.dirs     Could not create gnome accelerators directory '/home/arialth/.gnome2/accels': permission denied"
[01:47] <thor> yanger:change the default number in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:47] <aorthr33> how about some application name help.  i'm looking for an application that will allow me to mount an ISO (like daemon tools in windows), so I can quit popping in the CD when I add software.
[01:48] <thor> yanger: be careful editing that file....make a backup
[01:48] <SudoKing> erm arialth, you can use a pastebin :p
[01:48] <Lr5_> Jordan_U: if it was just generating the clicks somewhere, why'd applications need to support it?
[01:48] <arialth> sudoking: sorry about that i had no idea it was that long..
[01:48] <Jordan_U> Lr5_, Well, they wouldn't support two cursors in one application
[01:48] <SudoKing> =P
[01:49] <Jordan_U> Lr5_, Multiple apps with one cursor each would work fine ( but is still experimental )
[01:49] <Lr5_> kk
[01:49] <Nostahl> i have a fresh install of ubuntu on my desktop i just went to ubuntuvideo website to see some stuff
[01:49] <Nostahl> and it wont play the video's
[01:49] <Jordan_U> arialth, Have you been messing around with permissions at all?
[01:49] <bitterbug> ugh. i need to find an irc client that will let me hide joins/parts
[01:49] <Nostahl> i have flash player plugin though any idea's how i can view the video's
[01:49] <Nostahl> youtube works?
[01:49] <Jordan_U> Nostahl, Link?
[01:49] <arialth> jordan_u: nope this is a fresh install from the alt install cd
[01:50] <Lr5_> Nostahl: are these flash videos or some other type?
[01:50] <yanger> thor thanks.. do I need to grub install or anything?
[01:50] <Ov3rKiLL> how do i stop the desktop and go to a black screen terminal?
[01:50] <Nostahl> there video's on ubuntuvideo
[01:50] <Lr5_> Nostahl: do you have totem-mozilla installed?
[01:50] <thor> yanger: no...it will be read at the next boot no problem. If you ONLY change the default number, even if you get it wrong...it only determines the default and the menu will still work so yu can get in and change it
[01:50] <Jordan_U> Ov3rKiLL, ctrl+alt+F1 ( f7 to go back to X )
[01:50] <Ov3rKiLL> thanx
[01:50] <Nostahl> www.ubuntuvideo.com
[01:51] <jijutm> hi; I switched some 50 machines to ubuntu (linux), from winxp in our lab, and some of them are having problems after a cold start, ie: i need to force-reload the networking several times, before the machines get a stable ip on the lan. But the same machines work fine when booted into winxp
[01:51] <yanger> thor: all i needed to know.. thank you!
[01:51] <Ov3rKiLL> im trying to install the new 8800gts and when i use gdm stop its doesnt work
[01:51] <kitche> Ov3rKiLL: or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm to kill gdm
[01:51] <Lr5_> Nostahl: strange, works for me and looks like a flash video
[01:51] <Lr5_> Actually, it is...
[01:51] <thor> yanger:you will need to use su to change it....can't write to it as a user...need root permission
[01:51] <Ov3rKiLL> no im trying to install the nvidia driver
[01:51] <kitche> Ov3rKiLL: so kill gdm like I told you to
[01:51] <Ov3rKiLL> im getting like 4 desktops on one screen but they are overlapping and its all screwd up lol
[01:51] <Jordan_U> Nostahl, Looks like they're all youtube vids to me
[01:51] <Ov3rKiLL> yea ill try that brbg
[01:51] <saxartis1> You know what's fun?  Using BitchX and eLinks infront of your friends.
[01:52] <Nostahl> i can watch video's on youtube
[01:52] <Nostahl> but not on ubuntuvideo heh
[01:52] <Lr5_> Nostahl: to what part it gets before it stops working?
[01:52] <JockeTF> saxartis1: Espessially if it's in a school. ;)
[01:52] <Lr5_> Does it say "plugin needed", or goes to loading video part but doesn't continue?
[01:53] <Nostahl> it dosnt even show the videos
[01:53] <saxartis1> JockeTF: you've got it!
[01:53] <Nostahl> just a white page where there video's should be
[01:53] <Jordan_U> Nostahl, Screenshot? Are you using gnash or flash?
[01:53] <IndyGunFreak> Nostahl: that seems pretty wierd.
[01:53] <Chappy> hi guys
[01:53] <Nostahl> its not askin me to install any plugins
[01:54] <Chappy> happy new year!
[01:54] <JockeTF> Chappy: Hello. :)
[01:54] <Nostahl> i checked synaptic and i have flash plugin for mozilla
[01:54] <JockeTF> Chappy: Happy new year!
[01:54] <saxartis1> Except, eLinks is *not* useful for testing your new graphics on your site.  :p
[01:54] <Lr5_> Nostahl: to tell which flash you use, write "about:plugins" to the address bar in Firefox
[01:54] <XxValetexX> Nostahl:  try reinstalling it then
[01:54] <larson9999> is gnash good enough to use?  i never got it to work at all
[01:54] <IndyGunFreak> Nostahl: flash is broken right now, ...maybe thats the issue.
[01:54] <XxValetexX> larson9999:  me neither -.-
[01:54] <Nostahl> i rightclick where a video is and it says quite gnash
[01:54] <Chappy> could you help me? I have a problem with smb. The windows asks for login name and password - how can I turn it off?
[01:54] <larson9999> IndyGunFreak, flash isn't broken.
[01:54] <JockeTF> saxartis1: Hehe, but it's a very nice browser anyways, espesially with colors and mouse support. :)
[01:54] <Lr5_> larson9999: Gnash doesn't work on some games at least
[01:54] <Tigey> Greetings all.  Anyone know where the default codec folder is specified for an MPlayer build installed through aptget
[01:54] <IndyGunFreak> larson9999: it was...
[01:54] <IndyGunFreak> !flash
[01:54] <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
[01:54] <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.
[01:55] <IndyGunFreak> larson9999: see above
[01:55] <Jordan_U> Nostahl, Ahh, unless you are personal friends of RMS you probably want flash instead of Gnash :)
[01:55] <nickrud> rflol
[01:55] <arialth> jordan_u: any ideas?
[01:55] <bitterbug> haha
[01:55] <larson9999> IndyGunFreak, the installer is broken but flash isn't
[01:55] <IndyGunFreak> the installation is broken...
[01:55] <JockeTF> Chappy: I have no idea, sorry, someone else might know though.
[01:55] <IndyGunFreak> flash isn't
[01:55] <IndyGunFreak> my bad
[01:55] <Nostahl> i dont remmember ever installing gnash heh
[01:55] <Nostahl> fresh install of ubuntu etc
[01:55]  * SudoKing does
[01:55]  * SudoKing went boo
[01:55] <XxValetexX> Nostahl:  I did once annd it messed up
[01:55] <thor> Chappy: I believe when you map the samba share to the remote computer you can put in username:passwd@ipaddress/share to auto login
[01:55] <jijutm> having ldap logins, and central shared user space, the dhcp3 client not getting a lease is gnawing me.. I have to go to the console personally to do the force-reload
[01:56] <larson9999> i keep trying cause i want gnash to work great but i really didn't get anything to work with it
[01:56] <thor> Chappy: darn emoticons...that is username(colon)passwd
[01:56] <rex3ci> I am having trouble finding out if an audigy 2 will work on alsa, I know audigy 2 zs will, but what about audigy 2?
[01:57] <PriceChild> thor, appears properly on other people's screen.
[01:57] <Chappy> thor: I'm very stupid in linux - I used the "Shared Folders" and "Network" windows
[01:57] <Ov3rKiLL> how do i setup the nvidia driver?
[01:57] <Ov3rKiLL> i type sudo sh 'nvidia driver file'
[01:57] <Ov3rKiLL> but it doesnt work
[01:58] <IndyGunFreak> Ov3rKiLL: look in System/Admin/restricted driver manager, and see if it gives you the option to enable it
[01:58] <Jordan_U> Ov3rKiLL, System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager
[01:58] <Ov3rKiLL> doesnt worl
[01:58] <Ov3rKiLL> work
[01:58] <Ov3rKiLL> ive got the new 8800
[01:58] <PriceChild> !doesn't work | Ov3rKiLL
[01:58] <ubotu> Ov3rKiLL: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[01:58] <Ov3rKiLL> plus i cant get that far
[01:58] <Jordan_U> Ov3rKiLL, What prevents you from getting that far? Is X not starting?
[01:59] <Ov3rKiLL> no it doesnt work........ i cant make anything our on the screen for starters
[01:59] <Ov3rKiLL> X starts
[01:59] <larson9999> you don't need 3d to play 0verkill, Ov3rKiLL
[01:59] <Flughafen_> does anyone know how to get a nvidia 8800gt working on ubuntu 7.10
[01:59] <Flughafen_> ?
[01:59] <Flughafen_> !nvidia
[01:59] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:59] <Ov3rKiLL> yea
[02:00] <Chappy> could you advice me an irc client - it's now irssi, but it's just consol
[02:00] <PriceChild> chaky, xchat
[02:00] <XxValetexX> Cha Konversation
[02:00] <XxValetexX> Chappy:  Konversation
[02:00] <thor> Chappy:xchat or pidgin
[02:00] <jijutm> hi all
[02:00] <jijutm> Happy Newyear!
[02:00] <bitterbug> argh. i'm getting PS3rom request errors out the ass, and i didn't do anything
[02:00] <JockeTF> jijutm: Happy new year!
[02:00] <XxValetexX> Chappy:  Konversation is prettier then pidgin :P
[02:00] <IndyGunFreak> Chappy: there's also xchat-gnome.... Pidgin is an awful irc client.
[02:01] <IndyGunFreak> there's also kvirc
[02:01] <IndyGunFreak> .. its ok,
[02:01] <XxValetexX> IndyGunFreak:  how do I cache my stuff without using squid? xP
[02:01] <IndyGunFreak> XxValetexX: no clue
[02:01] <XxValetexX> ;-\
[02:01] <nickrud> Flughafen, according to http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_169.07.html , you have to use the lastest from nvidia
[02:01] <Jordan_U> XxValetexX, What are you trying to cache?
[02:02] <nickrud> Flughafen, true for 32bit as well
[02:02] <XxValetexX> Jordan_U: pages on the web that I have to access frequently
[02:02] <Oli``> Any programmers in the room? I'm looking to get started programming GTK+ apps. I only moved to Linux full-time a couple of months ago but before then I was fairly accomplished with C#, Java, PHP and even C when I needed it... So yeah, I'm just looking for opinions on where to start =)
[02:02] <Flughafen> nickrud. thanks
[02:02] <XxValetexX> Jordan_U: the amount of images make it slow, plus I dont have the best of connections ;\
[02:02] <Chapp1> hello
[02:02] <Chapp1> could you help me with smb?
[02:04] <|zOap|> happy new year
[02:04] <dolphin_noel> is there some away to update the fstab automatic?!
[02:05] <eHome> test
[02:05] <dolphin_noel> |zOap| happy new year hohohoho :)
[02:05] <Oli``> dolphin_noel: how do you mean?
[02:06] <dolphin_noel> Oli`` well i need to update my fstab ... to load some new os in one new partition :x
[02:06] <dolphin_noel> i think it is the fstab :x
[02:06] <dolphin_noel> the sda4 ins`t it in fstab
[02:07] <Oli``> you want to mount the new partitions at boot?
[02:07] <thor> dolphin_noel: if you want to boot the new os you don't need to update fstab, you need to update /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:07] <larson9999> how do you enable login via xdcmp in xubuntu?
[02:07] <dolphin_noel> thor well i allready use the update-grub to update the menu.lst and nathing that the problem :X
[02:08] <dolphin_noel> and the fstab looks the same to no sda4 in fstab :X
[02:08] <thor> larson9999:don't use xdcmp...use ssh with X forwarding...much more secure
[02:08] <rkj> Hey can anybody tell me where to find the file ".Xdefaults" referenced in the emacs manual? It says it's usually in the home directory, but not for me in Feisty.
[02:08] <larson9999> thor, thanks thor.  but that wasn't the question.
[02:08] <kitche> rkj: might have to make it it's a hidden file
[02:09] <thor> does anyone know how to keep pidgin from changing a colonD to a smiley face?
[02:09] <portablejim> my 'ttyx's wont work (Ctrl+Alt+Fx) eg tty1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1)
[02:09] <thor> larson9999:he said he wanted to load a new os into a new partition...if he wants to boot that os...
[02:10] <rkj> kitche thanks but wouldn't it already exist? and if not, do you know where to find ".Xresources" (also referenced in the emacs man page)?
[02:10] <kitche> rkj: it will be in ~ as well
[02:10] <larson9999> thor, i'm talking about my question.  how do you enable login via xdcmp?  edit the conf file or is there a gui?
[02:10] <rkj> kitche neither one is there.
[02:11] <kitche> rkj: usually those files don't exist unless you make them  there is a default one on the system but you want to make the file in /home
[02:11] <BMC> happeh nef yera
[02:12] <eHome> when i type openvpn, shall i keep the terminal open , or can i close the terminal anytime ?
[02:12] <rkj> kitche that's great.  I live in a rural area, and while I may have a t1, most of my neighbors do not have the means to get anything more than a dialup modem, since DSL and cable are not available. It doesn't make sense not to support them, or at least include a tool to set them up quic
[02:12] <thor> larson9999: http://klomdark.servebeer.com:8081/MessageBase2/ReadMessage.aspx?MsgNum=2003
[02:12] <[digit]> how can i change the brown color when you login to black? ive changed all the settings i can see...
[02:13] <enyc> [digit]: you mean desktop background once login done?
[02:13] <larson9999> thor, that's for ubuntu.  that dialoge isn't in xubuntu.  or at can't find it anyway.
[02:13] <Oli``> [digit]: change the gdm theme... http://www.gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=150
[02:13] <deostroll> I am having trouble with connecting to the internet using my ubuntu. Can any1 help.
[02:13] <thor> larson9999: silly me...I thought this was #ubuntu
[02:14] <[digit]> Oli``: i did, im using a black theme
[02:14] <Pelo> deostroll,  we need some details, what kind of connection ?
[02:14] <[digit]> enyc: no, i changed the background image and color to black
[02:14] <[digit]> well, the image isnt all black :P
[02:14] <larson9999> thor, sure.  xubuntu is dead.
[02:14] <Pelo> larson9999, what is the question ?
[02:14] <enyc> [digit]: yes but i need to know if you are referring to after login is complete?
[02:15] <[digit]> before login is complete
[02:15] <deostroll> pelo: I have a cable modem, and I think its wire connects to a serial link port.
[02:15] <Oli``> Pie-rate: it does support quite a few
[02:15] <enyc> [digit]: hrrm not sure then
[02:15] <xcthulhu> How do I install realplayer?
[02:15] <[digit]> really kills the flow
[02:15] <xcthulhu> It's not in my package database
[02:15] <enyc> xcthulhu: i think it may be a canonical-partner repository thing
[02:15] <Pelo> deostroll, do you have to do anyting in windows to get connected to the internet ? I mean after an install , not just when you boot
[02:16] <larson9999> Pelo, curious how to enable loggin in to xubuntu box via xdmcp.  if there's a gui or just the conf file
[02:16] <thor> larson9999: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/
[02:16] <Pelo> !realplayer | xcthulhu
[02:16] <ubotu> xcthulhu: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[02:16] <Pelo> larson9999,  that question I cannot answer , sorry
[02:16] <Pelo> larson9999, did you give the forum a search ?
[02:16] <Oli``> Pie-rate: it's just there are two "sorts" of dial-up modem... 1 which does everything like a proper modem should and then a much cheaper kind which is just a small audio-io chip and pci bridge that requires software drivers to do everything (otherwise known as a winmodem). For the first sort, Linux is pretty decent; for winmodems it's a little scratchier
[02:16] <deostroll> pelo: windows automatically connects. I don't know how. This cable modem is simply plugged in.
[02:16] <johnny_> if im on dapper with libc6 2.3 and i need 2.4 how do i upgrade
[02:17] <pawan> hi
[02:17] <deostroll> pelo: windows is able to detect this. But ubuntu is not...
[02:17] <Pelo> deostroll,  then ther should be no issue in ubuntu, did you have to / or did you setup a static ip at some point ? in windows ?
[02:18] <Pie-rate> Oli``: the problem is there isn't really an intuitive interface for getting them working, and if they don't work you can't get online at all.
[02:18] <hdevalence> kinda OT, but what happens when you cover the hole that says "do not cover" on a hdd?
[02:18] <Oli``> Pie-rate: there is though, isn't there?
[02:18] <deostroll> pelo: yes I've tired that on ubuntu. Copied the same detials from windows. Static ip addr and stuff. And still ubuntu does not detect.
[02:18] <Pelo> hdevalence, overheating ?
[02:19] <hdevalence> Pelo: that it?
[02:19] <Pelo> deostroll, did you restart the comp after ?
[02:19] <larson9999> the gentoo docs come to the rescue again! :)
[02:19] <Pelo> hdevalence, Iwould expect that is themain thing
[02:19] <Oli``> Pie-rate: System->Networking, double click the modem connection, click enable, wang in your details and it's done
[02:19] <Pie-rate> Oli``: tbh, i've only tried once, but i wasn't able to get it working, and most people who'll be trying to get a dialup modem working will not be too handy with computers. IMO, it should just work out of the box
[02:19] <Pie-rate> Oli``: yeah, that's what i tried
[02:19] <bitterbug> hdevalence: it might effect the airflow that creates the bernoulli effect, allowing the heads to float above the platter... maybe :)
[02:20] <bitterbug> affect, even
[02:20] <Pelo> larson9999,  thereis a great deal linux info that crosses distro bariers
[02:20] <deostroll> Pelo: I may have. However anything I ping does not ping...
[02:20] <larson9999> Pie-rate, if you think getting dialup working on a win modem is bad now.... :)
[02:20] <kitche> rkj: if you wish
[02:20] <deostroll> pelo: I'll try restarting and get back. Signing out.
[02:20] <Pelo> deostroll, besides the ping, can you get any internet activity ? browsing maybe ?
[02:20] <hdevalence> i want to try submerging an old computer in oil, right, and i gather that filling the interior of the hdd with oil is not a good idea.
[02:21] <Pelo> hdevalence, I assme you want to do this for cooling purposuse ?
[02:21] <Oli``> Pie-rate: believe me when I say it's no issue from a decent modem. WinModems are a complete waste of time and space (even for Windows)
[02:21] <santh> i download a rar file and click the option open with while saving after downloading i cant see that file how to store it on desktop
[02:21] <bitterbug> submerging the mainboard should be okay, but i wouldn't want to do it with any peripherals :)
[02:21] <Pie-rate> Oli``: heh
[02:21] <nikoPSK> hopefully no 1337 speak like last time
[02:21] <nikoPSK> :\
[02:21] <santh>  i download a rar file and click the option open with while saving after downloading i cant see that file how to store it on desktop
[02:22] <larson9999> Pelo, yes i know.  i've been using linux for 10+ years.  i was just curious if xubuntu had a gui to enable xdmcp so i could tell him how to get to the gui rather than change it myself.
[02:22] <Oli``> Pie-rate: is the modem being detected and shown in the device manager thingy?
[02:22] <Pie-rate> Oli``: i'm not sure if the one i tried before was a winmodem or not
[02:22] <johnny_> is there a way to get grep to replace patterns?
[02:22] <hdevalence> Pelo: that, and also it would look cool. Mostly then it would be silent. And look cool.
[02:22] <alexbOrsova> i have my wwireless setup on my laptop, but i have to type "sudo moddprobe ndiswrapper" to get it to wwork; how can i make this happen automatically at boot?
[02:22] <hdevalence> johnny_: use sed
[02:22] <Pelo> hdevalence,  I would recommend you do not put anyting with moving parts in any kind of liquid
[02:22] <johnny_> sed confuses me
[02:22] <Pelo> hdevalence, there are probably forums and channel for mods you can ask in
[02:22] <Pie-rate> Oli``: eh, i don't have one in front of me right now, i was just about to sell a computer to the local market and thought about how they probably have dialup and felt like venting
[02:23] <hdevalence> johnny_: http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html
[02:23] <santh> i download a rar file and click the option open with while saving after downloading i cant see that file how to store it on desktop
[02:23] <johnny_> thanks
[02:23] <Oli``> Pie-rate: I see =)
[02:23] <hdevalence> johnny_: that's one's very good trust me
[02:23] <johnny_> and what is going on with plf?
[02:23] <Pelo> alexbOrsova, put it in menu >system > prerfs > session or in /etc/init.d  but i'm not familiare with the syntax and stuff
[02:23] <larson9999> i thought plf died.
[02:23] <johnny_> i got a new laptop and im trying to install w32codecs and libdvdcss2 and its saying its not there
[02:23] <hdevalence> Pelo: In any case, it would be a junker PC anyways
[02:24] <bitterbug> darn. if only santh has waited for a reply
[02:24] <alexbOrsova> Pelo: thanks
[02:24] <hdevalence> johnny_: in what?
[02:24] <Pelo> hdevalence,  you do know not to do this with just any kind of oil right ?
[02:24] <hdevalence> Pelo: I was going to use mineral oil
[02:24] <johnny_> dapper
[02:24] <thor> !codecs >  johnny_:
[02:24] <johnny_> i guess im just gonna have to upgrade
[02:24] <hdevalence> !dvd | johnny
[02:24] <ubotu> johnny: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[02:24] <Pelo> hdevalence,  I would google a lot before I do this if I were you
[02:25] <hdevalence> Pelo: yeah
[02:25] <johnny_> has anyone tried to dist-upgrade from dapper to edgy?
[02:25]  * Pelo knows that mineral oil is a very good diaretic but not sure about a cooling fluid
[02:26] <Pelo> johnny_,  the files might no longer be available
[02:26] <Pelo> !upgrade | johnny_
[02:26] <ubotu> johnny_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[02:26] <bitterbug> i've been people use mineral oil before
[02:26] <bitterbug> seen even
[02:26]  * hdevalence goes into a store and asks "Can I get 10 litres of mineral oil?"
[02:26] <larson9999> johnny_, i dist-upgraded every time up to and including gutsy.  think i will clean install hardy though
[02:26] <Pelo> johnny_, but I recommend you get the alternate install cd for edgy or the dvd and upgrade using that
[02:26] <bitterbug> if they ask why you need it, tell them you have a constipated elephant.
[02:26] <johnny_> no problems larson9999 ?
[02:26] <cptR3D> wow.. so i had this problem of not being able to access the windows network at home, I backed up my original smb.conf file then messed with it a while, after a minute I couldn't even see the networks anymore, I restored the smb.conf and now everything works perfectly
[02:26] <genii> hdevalence: You putting your computer in a fishtank with mineral oil?
[02:27] <Pelo> cptR3D, don'T you just hates when that happens
[02:27] <johnny_> why are they constantly upgrading the entire os
[02:27] <hdevalence> genii: Not at the moment. My main box is a laptop, anyways. It'd be an old box if I did.
[02:27] <larson9999> johnny_, nope.  but that doesn't mean you won't :)
[02:27] <cptR3D> Pelo: haha hey at least it works
[02:28] <larson9999> johnny_, to keep us happy?  you don't have to upgrade that often if you don't want.
[02:28] <genii> hdevalence: I hear it works well but I don't want to risk my good box. Besides would be messy to clean up if you want to yank it out after
[02:28] <Pelo> johnny_,  ubuntu is a work in progress,  you can think of all the upgrades as betas on the way to the lts which occurs every two years or so ,  you will probably be able to upgrade from dapper to hardy directly if you can wait 4 monts
[02:28] <alexbOrsova> i need rooot access to run "modprobee":; how can i do that when adding a new entry in sessions
[02:28] <hdevalence> genii: my thinking as well.
[02:28] <Pelo> alexbOrsova,  prefix it with sudo
[02:29] <larson9999> johnny_, theres other distros if you want to upgrade the distro every 5 or 10 years :)
[02:29] <nathangrubb> like debian
[02:29] <portablejim> anybody know how to restore tty shortcuts on gutsy?
[02:29] <johnny_> i like gentoo myself
[02:29] <alexbOrsova> but won't that require me to enter a passwd?
[02:29]  * Pelo steps away from johnny_
[02:29] <Pelo> alexbOrsova,  no it will just run the command as root
[02:30] <alexbOrsova> ok, tthanks
[02:30] <bitterbug> gentoo is like those monks who like to flagellate themselves.
[02:30] <Pelo> alexbOrsova, but for a service like modprobe , init.d is probablhy better
[02:30] <larson9999> johnny_, i used to run gentoo. but i got tired of all the compiling so i switched to lfs
[02:30] <larson9999> i love that joke
[02:30] <Pelo> lfs ?
[02:30] <larson9999> linux from scratch
[02:30] <Pelo> I don't know the joke , I'm too new at this
[02:30] <hdevalence> also, by the way, anybody know where I could get a small embedded motherboard less powerful than the via ones but with a bunch of SATA connectors?
[02:30] <Pelo> larson9999, got it
[02:31] <johnny_> i love linux chans
[02:31] <johnny_> i get computer jokes
[02:31] <Pelo> hdevalence, #hardware
[02:31] <hdevalence> Pelo: ooh, excellent!
[02:31] <Pelo> johnny_, that one was just too 1337 for me that's all
[02:32] <Greevous> what's a good program to condense video files? Kino seems to only export as one size (720 x 480 usually)
[02:32] <johnny_> i went away for a couple months and i get back on the net and now i dont even recognize ubuntu
[02:32] <johnny_> feisty fawn
[02:32] <Pelo> Greevous, try avidemux
[02:33] <Pelo> johnny_, wait until hardy
[02:33] <Flughafen> i just installed the nvidia driver and cannot enable desktop effects, how can i fix this?
[02:33] <Pelo> Flughafen, you could try asking in #compiz-fusion but you probabaly need opengl enable,  fglx or aiglx or something
[02:34] <Greevous> Pelo: is avidemux a gui app?
[02:34] <Pelo> Greevous, yup
[02:34]  * Pelo is a WIMP he uses nothing but gui aps,  cli makes him cry
[02:35] <unravel> *gasp*
[02:35] <Pelo> unravel, I would never confess to this in #debian you understand , and I would apreciate you keeping it to yourself
[02:36] <alexbOrsova> does anyone know how how to "modprobe ndiiswrapper" at startup
[02:36] <deostroll> pelo: no luck.
[02:36] <Pelo> deostroll, ok do you have a router on this setup or just the cable modem ?
[02:37] <Helios> my isp says i have 15meg of "personal webspace" is that the same thing as a shell account?
[02:37] <genii> no
[02:37] <deostroll> pelo: just a cable modem. (Company Webstar)
[02:37] <Pelo> Helios, it's server space to setup a webpage
[02:37] <genii> shell account = system login to a prompt "personal webspace" = place to upload your webpage
[02:38] <Pelo> deostroll, ok ,  co-axial cable from the wall to the modem and then a cable from the modem to the computer that looks like a phone cord on steroids right ?
[02:38] <marltu> hello. what could i do so my video output won't lag on ubuntu?
[02:38] <Helios> ok thank u guys
[02:39] <Pelo> alexbOrsova,  try searching in the forum for this,  I'm sure there is someting about it , www.ubuntuforums.org
[02:39] <deostroll> pelo: almost a phone cord.
[02:39] <Pelo> marltu, turn off desktop effects
[02:39] <deostroll> pelo: yes a phone cord.
[02:39] <Pelo> deostroll,  big jacks on both ends ?
[02:39] <alexbOrsova> Pelo: that's what I'm doing right nnow
[02:40] <il3dsm> guys, is there any way to get a "mywebsite.COM" address without having to pay for .com to some company?
[02:40] <deostroll> pelo: they r almost rectangular. But both ends look identitical.
[02:40] <hdevalence> deostroll: almost certainly an ethernet cable
[02:40] <Pelo> alexbOrsova,  it is not an overly difficult thing to do,  I jsut don'T remember the details right now and you are out of luck there is no one around tha tdoes,
[02:40] <mortal1> is there any guide for installing ubuntu *from* a usb stick?
[02:40] <Ov3rKiLL> hey guys
[02:40] <Pelo> deostroll, ok I know what is it , ie the regular stuff,
[02:40] <nathangrubb> @il3dsm I don't think so
[02:41] <genii> mortal1: Yes. give me a minute I'll find a link
[02:41] <Ov3rKiLL> im running the new nvida graphics card and it only works if i start it off the cd in graphical safe mode. how do i set ubuntu to load in graphical safe more
[02:41] <Ov3rKiLL> im guessing its a driver
[02:41] <deostroll> pelo: enlighten me.
[02:41] <Pelo> deostroll,  can you give me a list of the stuff you need to do in order to get the connection working in windoes,  ie the statick ip and stuff, and you scan the instructions page and upload it somewhere so I can tell you where to input the infor properly ?
[02:42] <Pelo> deostroll, regular stuff doesn't mean I know what to do , it just means that it's not some weird thing I 've never heard about
[02:42] <Pelo> deostroll,  you should ear of some of the setups the poorer parts of india have

[02:42] <deostroll> pelo: yeah. India.
[02:43] <aubade> Don't FAT volumes hate commas?
[02:43] <Pelo> deostroll, are you in india ?
[02:43] <deostroll> pelo: yup.

[02:43] <genii> mortal1: With the method described there you can run the os from the stick or install from it, esentially it becomes the livecd
[02:43] <riotkittie> fat volumes hate everything.
[02:43] <bitterbug> il3dsm: nope, you're going to have to pay out to a registrar somewhere. I'd also highly recommend against doing searches for available names on GoDaddy, as they will park the domain name on you if you don't register it immediately
[02:44] <aubade> riotkittie: Self-hating legacy filesystems.

[02:46] <Ov3rKiLL> the problem is, i have a live network connection (using it now on xp) i go into ubuntu 7.10 and i have no internet, i think sure it was that random dns/ipv6 error so i go into firefox and disable ipv6 via about config and that normaly fixes the network issue but for some reason it didnt. i have no internet comming in but ubuntu has my network card in the networking window thing
[02:47] <Greevous> Pelo: once I have my filters ready, how do I apply them to the video and export it?
[02:47] <Pelo> coraline, samspade,  after a detective in paperback novels and b/w movies

[02:53] <Pelo> deostroll,  did you try leaving the network stuff to dhcp and seing what would happen ?
[02:53] <deostroll> pelo: dhcp did not work...
[02:53] <Shenzen> :-(
[02:53] <Pelo> deostroll, it might be a good idea to give your isp a call and ask if they have instrucitons for getting you connected from linux,
[02:54] <Pelo> Shenzen, google

[02:55] <TheEagle> DjViper: how do you disable it?

[02:57] <_Digi_> What is the port number for the printers?
[02:58] <deostroll> pelo: thnx 4 t time.
[02:58] <_Digi_> I am using gusty
[02:58] <_Digi_> Having problems installing a printer.  Everything looks right, but I think I have trash in the printer que.
[02:59] <_Digi_> I thought it was something like port 667
[03:00] <carbanm> my flash won't work, and gnash is garbage
[03:00] <carbanm> any ideas?
[03:01] <carbanm> i've tried installing with synaptic and using the "hey dbag install flash" prompt in firefox
[03:01] <carbanm> neither worked
[03:01] <carbanm> using 7.10
[03:01] <wers> I'm thinking of buying a relatively small laptop that is more powerful than the eee and will run ubuntu with little to no compatibility issues?  :)
[03:01] <_Digi_> I will ask the question again. Maybe those who have just join may know the answer.  What is the ports for the printers to be view off of local host?
[03:02] <wers> ooops.. uhm.. what mobile comp can you suggest?
[03:02] <_Digi_> Wers I am using ubuntu on my laptop an it works perfect.
[03:02] <wers> what's your lappy, _Di
[03:02] <_Digi_> ACER
[03:02] <wers> _Digi_?
[03:03] <wers> even the built in webcam works?
[03:03] <_Digi_> I haven't been able to get the web cam working yet.
[03:03] <_Digi_> I am kinda of new to gusty
[03:03] <carbanm> any ideas for my flash issue?
[03:04] <wers> _Digi_, what model is that exactly?
[03:04] <_Digi_> I am just trying to clear my printer cache and I can't find were it is.
[03:04] <wers> is that an aspire gemstone?
[03:04] <_Digi_> ACER 3680
[03:04] <_Digi_> It is about a year old
[03:05] <wers> did the webcam work ever in other ubuntu versions?
[03:05] <Jordan_U> !flash | carbanm
[03:05] <ubotu> carbanm: 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
[03:05] <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.
[03:05] <carbanm> thank you.
[03:06] <wers> I'm looking for a relatively small laptop, something like has about 12" screen or something
[03:06] <misterblonde2517> i just installed drivers for my nvidia 5500, and when i boot up my unbuntu it gets stuck right after the splash saying "unnin local boot scripts".. any ideas?
[03:07] <carbanm> anyone have any idea why my screen goes blank until ubuntu is started?
[03:07] <_Digi_> I am surprised no one know that local host access to the printers.
[03:08] <carbanm> _Digi_: i'm a noob.
[03:08] <wers> does anyone have a built-in webcam that works with ubuntu?

[03:11] <th0r> wers mine only works with skype and wxcam
[03:11] <wers> th0r, that's nice. skype is what I need
[03:11] <wers> what laptop is that?
[03:12] <th0r> wers a toshiba a200
[03:12] <wers> toshiba... sounds expensive :))
[03:12] <th0r> wers the webcam identifies as a chicony
[03:12] <|zOap|> uaAsbG2dBxtgq8Lbo/QBVg==
[03:12] <th0r> |zOap| yup
[03:13] <Aresilek> How do i get the resolution 1280x800 (in kubuntu) it's not an option in system settings/monitor and display
[03:13] <th0r> Aresilek if it isn't an option you will need to add the modelines to xorg.conf
[03:13] <wers> th0r, how many inches is the screen?
[03:14] <th0r> wers not sure...15 I think...1280x800
[03:14] <wers> ooh.that's big. i'm looking for a relatively small one
[03:14] <th0r> wers compensation
[03:15] <Aresilek> what's a modeline?
[03:16] <Aresilek> btw i see the resolution i want in the xorg.conf file, but it's not an option in the system settings
[03:16] <th0r> Aresilek then there is something amiss with the modeline. X will not process modelines that it deems in error
[03:17] <th0r> Aresilek or it may be that X thinks the monitor won't support the resolution
[03:17] <roy_> hi, question: I'm on gutsy; sometimes if I've been using the computer for a while, the window decorations (title bar, etc) vanish and I have to restart emerald. I guess emerald is crashing due to some sort of error? where can I see what error this might be?
[03:17] <Aresilek> th0r: can i do anything about that?
[03:18] <th0r> Aresilek yes...but it isn't easy. Google modelines or xorg.conf and start there. You will probably find a number of examples for modeilines for your resolution and can try some of them. In the process learn something about xorg.conf
[03:19] <Aresilek> th0r: i see the resolution i want as a mode not a modeline btw
[03:19] <th0r> Aresilek the modeline defines a number of parameters for each resolution
[03:20] <roy_> there we go...I lost them again
[03:20] <nickrud> Aresilek, take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log, somewhere near the middle you'll see a bunch of resolutions, look for the 1280x800 (if it's there) it'll give you a clue about why it's not available
[03:20] <Aresilek> th0r: is http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Widescreen_Resolutions_(WSXGA) a good thing to try?
[03:21] <Aresilek> nickrud: ok
[03:21] <th0r> Aresilek wouldn't know...mine worked out of the box so I never looked into it. Haven't messed with modelines since long before X became xorg
[03:21] <ticks> Hey people! I've got one question before I start the Ubuntu install on my box. My computer has a 64-bit processor, but I'm not certain whether I should be installing the 32-bit or 64-bit Ubuntu version. How is Linux when it comes to software compatability and soforth?
[03:22] <nickrud> ticks, unless you're doing intensive video or audio editing or number crunching (with the right software) or have more than 4gb of mem, there's no real reason to run the 64bit version.
[03:22] <linxeh> ticks: how much ram do you have ?
[03:22] <th0r> Aresilek let me have a minute and I will pastebin my xorg.conf file for you...I am running 1280x800 so it may help.
[03:23] <linxeh> if you have less than 3.5gb ram, use the 32bit versio
[03:23] <ticks> I have 2GB ram.
[03:23] <linxeh> use 32bit then
[03:23] <linxeh> save yourself a lot of pain
[03:23] <ticks> I will do that. :)
[03:23] <th0r> Aresilek http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50351/
[03:23] <linxeh> one day 64bit will rule the desktop. I think I might be old by then though :/
[03:23] <ticks> So there is software incompatability in the same way Windows has then?
[03:24] <ticks> Oops, messed up sentence but you get the gist. :P
[03:24] <nickrud> ticks, yes, very much so
[03:24] <linxeh> ticks: only with binary drivers / software from proprietry companies
[03:24] <linxeh> most open-source stuff works fine
[03:24] <linxeh> eg flash had problems until recently, java has some issues with the applet plugin, etc (there are hundreds of examples)
[03:24] <Aresilek> th0r: but that has modelines in it
[03:25] <th0r> Aresilek ?
[03:25] <ticks> I'll just redownload and I'll pick 32-bit now. :)
[03:25] <mulvane_> ubuntu is what Bill Gates uses when he wants to see blue screens..
[03:25] <linxeh> roy_: what graphics card do you have ?
[03:25] <nickrud> Aresilek, why not put the log file up on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org let us take a look. There's bound to be a clue or two
[03:25] <yokomo> lol
[03:25] <jtt> what does gdm call to display the gnome window
[03:26] <Aresilek> th0r: that pastebin u gave me (which i assume to be yours) has modelines in it, didn't u add those yourself?
[03:26] <adelie> why do full screen games drop out of full screen and loose focus at random. happens on every install.
[03:26] <Aresilek> nickrud: ok
[03:26] <linxeh> jtt: gnome-session starts a WM
[03:26] <DjViper> jtt: xorg
[03:26] <th0r> Aresilek no...they were added at install...that is why I don't recall anything about them <smile>. But they might serve as a guide for you in assessing and correcting your problem
[03:26] <linxeh> mulvane_: most people at MS research seem to use Linux (many using Ubuntu)
[03:27] <jtt> thanks folks
[03:27] <ports-> mulvane_, you troll
[03:27] <mulvane_> That's because even an MS employ can't afford a copy of vista..
[03:27] <ports-> mulvane_, didnt Visigth- get Vista free?

[03:30] <roy_> hi, question: I'm on gutsy; sometimes if I've been using the computer for a while, the window decorations (title bar, etc) vanish and I have to restart emerald. I guess emerald is crashing due to some sort of error? where can I see what error this might be?

[03:33] <pawan> hi
[03:33] <Lunar_Lamp> adelie, is something else stealing it, like for example a pop-up alert?
[03:33] <joanki> i installed realplayer with this: sudo dpkg -i realplayer_10.0.9-0.1_i386.deb ... now how do i get RID of it?
[03:33] <peepsalot> howdy folkds
[03:33] <adelie> Lunar_Lamp: fresh install, nothing else running from user
[03:33] <nickrud> joanki, sudo updatedb   && locate realplayer, remove the files you find there
[03:34] <crimsun> joanki: sudo dpkg -P realplayer
[03:34] <Lunar_Lamp> joakim-, dpkg options -r (remove) or -P (purge)
[03:34] <nickrud> doh, it was a deb. who has debs of realplayer now?
[03:34] <peepsalot> does anyone know of a podcast app where I can mark which episodes I've already listened to?

[03:35] <Myrtti> I hate lag
[03:35] <nickrud> joanki, ignore my advice, it was foolish. Follow crimsun's
[03:35] <joanki> done thanks
[03:35] <Mez> You forgot the ban Myrtti
[03:35] <peepsalot> is there any program that does that?
[03:36] <Lunar_Lamp> hanasaki, hmm, odd. Have you installed any applications recently that might have caused this? It sounds like a definite bug, but it might be hard to trace if there is no record in your Xorg logs
[03:36] <hanasaki> lunar... nothing installed new
[03:36] <hanasaki> that i remmber
[03:36] <hanasaki> get it on both boxes.. both are twins
[03:36] <Myrtti> Mez: I had to reconnect to my irssi, connection broke
[03:36] <hanasaki> more on the box that hangs
[03:36] <hanasaki> what is your cpu lunar
[03:36] <Myrtti> :-/
[03:37] <joanki> one more questions crimsun or nickrud , in  my home/personal folder, real took over and installed all this crap.  i want it gone.  how do i know which ones are realplayer and which ones aren't? examples are the following files: codecs, bin, , lib, plugins, postinst, share
[03:37] <peepsalot> i currently use rhythmbox for managing podcasts.  is there a list of other similar programs?
[03:37] <crimsun> joanki: the realplayer deb did that?!
[03:37] <Lunar_Lamp> hanasaki, it could be a hardware issue, but I think what you need to do is be able to characterise exactly what triggers the problem.  Without a known trigger/cause it's hard to troubleshoot.  It's hard to know what it might be when it's "just at random" (and I've jsut got back from a party, so don't want to give you dodgy advice whilst I'm tired and about to go to bed)
[03:37] <crimsun> joanki: or did you mean that invoking the program caused that?
[03:38] <hanasaki> sok lunar.. what is your hw config?
[03:38] <joanki> i don't know crimsun, but it sure added a lot of crap
[03:38] <joanki> not deb
[03:38] <joanki> the install did
[03:38] <joanki> not all of them, but a few
[03:38] <Lunar_Lamp> hanasaki, er, I have an Acer Aspire 5024 laptop.
[03:38] <hanasaki> luanr cpu?
[03:38] <Lunar_Lamp> model name      : AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology ML-34
[03:39] <hanasaki> hmm both amds
[03:39] <joanki> it's annoying as heck
[03:39] <coraline> wtf?
[03:39] <coraline> kate@brazil:/tmp/install_flash_player_9_linux$ ./flashplayer-installer
[03:39] <coraline> ERROR: Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported by the
[03:39] <coraline>        Adobe Flash Player installer.
[03:39] <coraline> now that's just ass.
[03:40] <Lunar_Lamp> coraline, 64bit flash hasn't been released :-(
[03:40] <joanki> crimsun, the install did it and it won't let me delete those folders manually
[03:40] <joanki> so it's like i'm permanently stuck with them?
[03:40] <nickrud> coraline, blame adobe, they didn't releasa a 64bit version
[03:40] <crimsun> joanki: are those folders owned by root?
[03:40] <Lunar_Lamp> There is only 32bit flash. I'm not sure what the current best option is, but it might be that you have to use a 32bit chroot.
[03:40] <coraline> yea, but uh.  the rpm installs on CentOS
[03:40] <coraline> and on Solaris 10
[03:40] <joanki> i think so
[03:40] <nickrud> coraline, so does the deb on ubuntu. (normally)
[03:40] <coraline> well, the pkg, not rpm on Solaris.  But still.
[03:41] <coraline> where'd you get the .deb?
[03:41] <joanki> crimsun, how do i get rid of them
[03:41] <coraline> it's not on adobe.com
[03:41] <Lunar_Lamp> coraline, I believe there is flash in the repositories that would work
[03:41] <joanki> it is SO annoying that it monopolized my entire home file
[03:41] <crimsun> coraline: we use nspluginwrapper with the non-Free flashplugin on amd64.
[03:41] <coraline> there's a YUM, an RPM, and a tar.gz
[03:41] <nickrud> coraline, it would be in the repositories. Except that its currently broken.
[03:41] <joanki> crimsun, here's an example: ./lib/libgtkhx.so
[03:41] <joanki> ./postinst/
[03:41] <coraline> jesus.
[03:41] <nickrud> !brokenflash | coraline
[03:41] <ubotu> coraline: 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.
[03:41] <crimsun> joanki: then sudo rm -r ~/lib [...]
[03:42] <joanki> THANK YOU
[03:42] <coraline> need to fix immediately?  are you shitting me?
[03:42] <joanki> um... what is the [...]?

[03:42] <coraline> oh right.

[03:42] <coraline> how's that?
[03:43] <nickrud> sigh. It must be new years eve
[03:43] <coraline> anyway, I'll just flip vms and do it on Solaris.  :)
[03:43] <annonymouse> hi all, does any one know how in dos box i can read a file on my drive?
[03:44] <linxeh> annonymouse: err, what has DOS got to do with ubuntu?
[03:44] <annonymouse> dosbox
[03:44] <linxeh> if you mean a Linux terminal of some kind, then cat filename
[03:44] <arkanes> so I've got a wireless USB network adapter, when I plug it in it shows up in the hardware info but network manager doesn't know anything about it
[03:44] <crimsun> he means the package/program dosbox.
[03:44] <crimsun> !dosbox
[03:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dosbox - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:44] <linxeh> oh right
[03:44] <crimsun> !info dosbox
[03:44] <ubotu> dosbox: A x86 emulator with Tandy/Herc/CGA/EGA/VGA/SVGA graphics, sound and DOS. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.71-0.1 (gutsy), package size 658 kB, installed size 2096 kB
[03:44] <arkanes> any idea on how I can make it work>
[03:44] <cptR3D> sudo nano /folder/file.txt
[03:44] <linxeh> cat filename, more filename
[03:44] <linxeh> both should work in any decent DOS
[03:45] <ticks> Another silly question: Is there any difference in burning a boot-DVD and a boot-CD? I can only seem to find empty DVDs and no CDs. :P
[03:45] <nickrud> crimsun, it's almost midnight there, right? why aren't you at a party? (I go to work tomorrow, got a reason)
[03:45] <linxeh> ticks: either will work
[03:45] <crimsun> nickrud: I also work tomorrow.
[03:45] <linxeh> ticks: I do it regularly
[03:45] <annonymouse> what does nano do
[03:45] <linxeh> annonymouse: its a text editor
[03:45] <ticks> Sweet.
[03:45] <annonymouse> ohh
[03:45] <cptR3D> nano is a editing thing
[03:45] <cptR3D> :]
[03:45] <annonymouse> cool
[03:46] <annonymouse> thanks sorry im pretty new at ubuntu, im trying to  get the original quake running on my laptop
[03:46] <linxeh> annonymouse: get something like zquake
[03:46] <annonymouse> zquake ?
[03:46] <cptR3D> mm.. quake
[03:47] <annonymouse> !info zquake
[03:47] <ubotu> Package zquake does not exist in gutsy
[03:47] <linxeh> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZQuake
[03:47] <annonymouse> fank u linexh do u have experiance in installing this?
[03:48] <linxeh> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quake#Replacement_Quake.2FQuakeWorld_Engines
[03:48] <linxeh> many of these are better than the original quake engine
[03:48] <annonymouse> cool how do i  go installing it mind
[03:48] <cptR3D> http://zquake.frag.ru/eng/download/
[03:49] <annonymouse> thanks cptR3D   got the file from there now ya  just unsure  what to do with it
[03:49] <linxeh> read :)
[03:49] <cptR3D> annonymouse: extract and install?
[03:50] <annonymouse> how?
[03:50] <annonymouse> its a bunch of .exe files?
[03:50] <Damarack> Ooohh..Why would I want to use ubuntu for?
[03:51] <joanki> what does sudo updatedb do?
[03:51] <annonymouse> Damarack ive been using ubuntu and doing all the things i do in windows  faster and better on the same pc with ubuntu  on,
[03:51] <joanki> freaking realplayer taking over here arrrr
[03:51] <Damarack> annonymouse: And its because of ubuntu?
[03:51] <annonymouse> im really impressed with it
[03:51] <annonymouse> um i think so ive noticed a speed improvement in my pc
[03:51] <tcpdumpgod> Damarack obviously one reason is curiousity (spelling)
[03:51] <tcpdumpgod> :)
[03:52] <tcpdumpgod> And it makes you more attractive to the ladies.
[03:52] <Damarack> Well, I'm wondering why you would want to run a linux to begin with..
[03:52] <Damarack> Why not a useful OS?
[03:52] <Damarack> Something based on a real nix maybe..
[03:52] <cptR3D> annonymouse: download the linux one
[03:52] <annonymouse> bored of windows not a mac fan,
[03:52] <silvertip257> I'm asking for some sincere help here. I was a noob when I last installed my OS (Ubuntu 6.10) and used one partition for everything except swap ... today I went back to boot to it and the filesystem is corrupt - I have already tried fsck -t ext3 -y /dev/hda2
[03:53] <cptR3D> annonymouse: after extraction read the readme.txt
[03:53] <annonymouse> cptR3D thanks
[03:53] <tcpdumpgod> Damarack, you'd actually have to LEARN and USE Linux on a daily basis to understand that it can "run circles" around about any other OS.
[03:53] <annonymouse> the readme.1st
[03:53] <tcpdumpgod> Except... maybe FreeBSD.
[03:53] <annonymouse> im learning something new in linux every day

[03:54] <IndyGunFreak> Damarack: regularly?
[03:54] <maxlinux> can someone tell me why i cant use my drivers?
[03:54] <nickrud> Damarack, and your point is?
[03:54] <IndyGunFreak> maxlinux: drivers for what?
[03:54] <Damarack> I'm really wondering why ubuntu..
[03:54] <tcpdumpgod> I see you said "<Damarack> Why not a useful OS?", the definition of useful varies from person to person.
[03:54] <maxlinux> i mean why the resolution of my desktop is maximum 1024 786
[03:54] <tcpdumpgod> w00t @ Damarack
[03:54] <annonymouse> cptR3d  the readme.1st  just has no warrenty  and a web site
[03:54] <nickrud> Damarack, ah, you're mulvane :)
[03:54] <IndyGunFreak> Damarack: nobody told you you had to use Ubuntu.., use whatever you want
[03:54] <arkanes> Damarack: this is an ubuntu support channel, not a place to rant about the merits or dismerits of BSD vs linux
[03:54] <nickrud> IndyGunFreak, he's a troll
[03:54] <IndyGunFreak> nickrud: clearly
[03:54] <IndyGunFreak> maxlinux: what type of video card?
[03:55] <silvertip257> IndyGunFreak: can you help me recover a linux system?  I'll explain what I've done
[03:55] <cptR3D> annonymouse: readme.txt
[03:55] <cptR3D> ??
[03:55] <IndyGunFreak> silvertip257: i'm probably not the best person for that.
[03:55] <annonymouse> cotR3D there isnt one
[03:55] <nickrud> IndyGunFreak, kicked earlier,
[03:55] <maxlinux> ati radeon x1950
[03:55] <IndyGunFreak> nickrud: lol, sounds like a mod is sleeping.

[03:56] <maxlinux> but highest resolution is only 1024 768
[03:56] <nickrud> maxlinux, you need to use the restricted driver for that card, the default doesn't work
