[12:04] <heguru> MrPink: oh i am back and free
[12:04] <Matt189> scarborough: you can't log-in in commandline?
[12:04] <heguru> MrPink: join me in #ubuntu-video
[12:04] <MrPink> ah great :)
[12:04] <scguy318> scarborough: well, you can wget the Nvidia installer
[12:04] <scguy318> scarborough: lemme find the URL
[12:05] <scarborough> Matt189: yeah I can
[12:05] <scguy318> scarborough: or, if you're desperate for a working X, then just sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, selecting vesa for displayer driver
[12:05] <Arsanerit> !pidgin
[12:05] <nickrud> kaos_: seahorse does it for me (might be a gutsy thing, though)
[12:05] <ubotu> pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It wasn't released in time for Feisty. Expect it in gutsy. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info. To install Pidgin please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallPidgin2.0
[12:05] <scarborough> scguy318: its ok, I can do some light work from the X.
[12:05] <HyperCity> i'm tryng to compile a plugin for gimp 2.3 but i get this Package gimp-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. what is the sintax for the makefile?
[12:06] <kaos_> nickrud can you elaborate?
[12:06] <AaronMT> !openbox
[12:06] <ubotu> openbox is a lightweight window manager. For instructions and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Openbox. To replace metacity with Openbox please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReplaceMetacityWithOpenbox
[12:06] <scguy318> scarborough: wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/100.14.19/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run
[12:06] <fyrestrtr> HyperCity: you probably want gimp-dev packages
[12:06] <andrew____> ok i read through the official ubuntu webcam page.  it wasn't very helpful.  my webcam isn't listed on easycam.  from the berlios.de site, i think i need to have the V4L.2 driver installed.  how do i check if i have this driver?  does anyone know about UVC webcams/
[12:06] <scguy318> scarboroguh: then just chmod +x the .run file, then ./NVIDIA....run
[12:06] <TUXedomember> i need help setting up remote desktop
[12:06] <scguy318> scarborough: you could try envy, but there's a very real risk of having it seriously screw up your xorg.conf
[12:06] <scguy318> !envy | scarborough
[12:06] <ubotu> scarborough: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[12:06] <nickrud> kaos_: the app seahorse (under apps-accessories, called passwords etc.) has a tab for passwords, my wpa key is there
[12:07] <andrew____> also when i go to camorama it says that it could not locate device /dev/video0
[12:07] <kritzstapf> when im booting the -server kernel, loading the initrd results in "error 16: inconsistent filesystem structure", .. the gerenic kernel runs fine..?
[12:07] <scarborough> scguy318: hrm, then I might want to use the drivers you gave me :S
[12:07] <kaos_> nickrud i cant see it there but im running 7.04
[12:08] <scarborough> scguy318: so I just run those commands you gave me ?
[12:08] <HyperCity> fyrestrtr: i have no dev pakages for gimp in synaptic
[12:08] <bulmer> kritzstapf: maybe you have to do a repair with fsck on the server kernel
[12:08] <TUXedomember> how do i set up remote desktop?
[12:08] <scguy318> scarborough: yes
[12:09] <kritzstapf> bulmer: how to do that?
[12:09] <scguy318> scarborough: if you want to be able to easily remove the Nvidia driver the installer provides
[12:09] <scguy318> scarborough: then I guess Envy at your own risk
[12:09] <scarborough> scguy318: doesnt sound very safe to use Envy
[12:09] <bruenig> not a good idea
[12:09] <kaos_> nickrud : ive added it in add remove lets see if it works
[12:10] <scguy318> scarborough: I've never had problems using it, but since a lot of people have advised otherwise
[12:10] <nickrud> kaos_: ok, it's in the newer seahorse then. I would think that gpg might be able to read the keyrings in ~/.gnome2/keyrings, but have never tried
[12:10] <scguy318> scarborough: then you may wish to weigh your options
[12:10] <HyperCity> fyrestrtr: the syntax is like this: make --include-dir=/usr/lib/gimp2.0 ?
[12:10] <bulmer> kritzstapf: where is this file stored at?
[12:10] <scarborough> scguy318: chmod +x then the .run file find the ./NVIDIA folder and the .runfile again? thing thats simple enough
[12:10] <TUXedomember> how do i set up remote desktop
[12:10] <kritzstapf> bulmer: /boot of course
[12:11] <daedalus> hi, how can i get libcurses library for ubuntu?
[12:11] <fyrestrtr> HyperCity: I don't know, you'd have to check the readme
[12:11] <scguy318> scarborough: after you wgetted, you should have one file with an extension of run (don't want to write the whole thing)
[12:11] <scguy318> scarborough: so do chmod +x *.run (to save the typing) then do sh *.run
[12:11] <gustavo> whats the best way to secure apache? chroot it mannually or using libapache2-mod-chroot?
[12:12] <nickrud> HyperCity: try libgimp2.0-dev
[12:12] <kritzstapf> gustavo: using lighttpd :P
[12:12] <gustavo> kritzstapf: whats it?
[12:12] <scarborough> scguy: ah okey, as simple as that? :)
[12:12] <kritzstapf> gustavo: its a webserver
[12:12] <gustavo> but i need to use apache ;P
[12:12] <scguy318> scarborough: should be, yes
[12:13] <kritzstapf> bulmer: hum?
[12:13] <HyperCity> nickrud: thx
[12:13] <scarborough> scguy318: thx, if I f*ck up then Ill pest you some more :) but I hope not
[12:13] <scguy318> scarborough: kk np

[12:15] <nickrud> daedalus: rule of thumb when trying to get development headers:   put a lib on the front, then aptitude search  <construct> | grep dev
[12:15] <genis> Buenas tux,
[12:15] <scguy318> genis: yo puedo hablar espanol un poco
[12:15] <oem> can somebody help me install steam on ubuntu with wine?

I have to fight it with my mouse to keep it up high....how do I fix this?
[12:16] <scguy318> oem: what Wine version? and have you tried the AppDb guide (lemme find)
[12:16] <genis> gracias, estoy con el ubuntu 5.10, y no puedo actualizarlo, s, que no tiene continuidad, pero no existe ningun ftp, o similar, para obtener actualizaciones?

[12:17] <genis> ok, gracias
[12:17] <scguy318> oem: what does wine --version give you?
[12:17] <bulmer> kritzstapf: did you run mkinitrd once you created the server kernel?
[12:17] <scguy318> oem: and please read this: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=1554
[12:17] <oem> scguy318: lemme check
[12:17] <kritzstapf> bulmer: i think this is done automatically
[12:17] <Scunizi> johnficc1, you might have to mess with "sound devices" in Skype.. The older version allowed you to turn off echo cancellation and adjust the mic.. if I remember correctly.
[12:17] <oem> scguy318: it gave me an error couldn't find c:\\windows
[12:18] <daedalus> nickrud: oh ok, i got it, do you know where i can find the lcurses file? i used google and it says its a file from libcurses library, apparently i have the libcurses-perl and libcurses-ruby libraries, but not the libcurse libraries
[12:18] <scguy318> oem: do wine -v
[12:18] <Ltar> I think my grub installation has been corrupted. My computer was set up to boot XP and 7.04 with grub on a single SATA 350gb HDD. Grub no longer loads. running an AMD64 7.04 live CD right now. how can I restore grub? If nessecary, I can download and burn any other ubuntu CD.
[12:18] <bulmer> kritzstapf: well maybe you need to run it so it wil correct the differences between your system and the system its compiled from?
[12:18] <scguy318> genis: do you know how to join another channel?
[12:18] <oem> scguy318: gave the same error
[12:18] <scguy318> genis: n/m
[12:19] <scguy318> oem: you sure wine --version doesn't work?
[12:19] <bulmer> Ltar: maybe grub-install will repair it.. man grub-install
[12:19] <oem> Ltar: you have xp it breaks everything
[12:19] <Scunizi> Ltar, go to http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm.. I've used it many times and keep a printout in a file.. works great.
[12:19] <oem> scguy318: yes i'm sure
[12:20] <scguy318> oem: strange, well, have you installed the wine package?
[12:20] <scguy318> oem: dumb question, I think you already have
[12:20] <Scunizi> Ltar, and since you're booted to a live cd, it's perfect timing!
[12:20] <aredhel> daedalus, you want libncurses
[12:20] <oem> scguy318: yes of course i have
[12:20] <scguy318> oem: perhaps there is an issue with Wine Doors, have you tried following the AppDb guide I linked you to?
[12:20] <scguy318> oem: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=1554
[12:21] <oem> scguy318: i'll take a look at it thanks gotta go...

[12:23] <maria> i am u sing the nvidia restricted driver
[12:23] <hmhowie> daedalus: is there an ncurses-dev packet in the repositories?
[12:23] <jnz_> hi guys
[12:23] <scguy318> hmhowie: think so, libncurses5-dev or something like that
[12:23] <user_> I have gdk installed. Including its development files. I included "gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h" which gcc found. Howver it won't find any other gtk headers. Why?
[12:24] <daedalus> hmhowie: hi man... i tried to do an apt-get libncurses5-dev and it says it cant find it
[12:24] <aredhel> daedalus, I am not running ubuntu but libncurses5-dev is mostlikely what you want to install.
[12:24] <razer> hello, I have a little problem while trying to install ubuntu. I have not yet installed ubuntu, only booted from livecd (7.04). My dilemma is this: I have one s-ata hdd and two ide hdds and only the s-ata disk shows up in gnome partition editor. All drives are detected by bios and are running just fine in XP (which is currently installed on the s-ata hdd). As I do not wish to delete windows and find out that I cannot access my other hdds I
[12:24] <razer> have not yet done anything.
[12:24] <jnz_> why ubuntu doesn't recognize webcam of my acer aspire 5710? camorama tell me that there isn't device :(
[12:24] <openminddj> hello...need some help here.  I was disabling beryl from my session startup, clicked on the save session button when everything was just right, and now when i try to log on...i get a splash screen with about 9 metacity icons.  Eventually I get kicked back to the login page.  Other users are fine so it's just this one...how can i recover from this?
[12:24] <hmhowie> daedalus: try an apt-cache search libncurses
[12:24] <Asathoor> hi I have some GRUB problems. Must there be both a / and a /boot and a /swap - or just a / and a /swap
[12:25] <scguy318> daeadalus: Ubuntu Feisty has libncurses5-dev
[12:25] <user_> How do I reinstall GDK?
[12:26] <daedalus> hmhowie: thanks man! it is working, im downloading it right now, THANKS EVERYBODY.
[12:26] <daedalus> i hope it is what i need
[12:26] <Asathoor> user_ >> u could choose an alternative
[12:26] <Ltar> i've been meaning to change to amd64 ubuntu for some time, anyways. will running the install application from this CD allow me to set up grub with XP already on the drive?
[12:26] <user_> Asathoor: What do you mean?
[12:26] <razer> anyone?
[12:27] <user_> Asathoer: I need gdk for my opengl project.
[12:27] <jnz_> just question
[12:27] <Asathoor> Ltar >> it will work, but some applications are hard to run, like skype e.g.
[12:27] <jugimaster> I'm a new Linux user..    -  Not all of my HDDs are mounted.   Is Ubuntu supposed to automatically mount all the drives it can find?    ..  By the way, the installation programs (of both Debian and Ubuntu) did not see all drives either ,  but they all show up normally in Windows
[12:27] <bulmer> Asathoor: only / and a /swap
[12:27] <kahrytan> Anyone know the name of the security firm that shows security holes for different software?
[12:27] <Ltar> Asathoor: I mostly use ubuntu for coding or basic functions, i'm not worried about skype.
[12:27] <scguy318> jugimaster: if you pop open Nautilus, you can mount partitions via double-click
[12:28] <scguy318> jugimaster: I think
[12:28] <Ltar> Asathoor: i9'm going to try it
[12:28] <scguy318> jugimaster: what parts are not mounting?
[12:28] <jugimaster> sc: Nautilus.. ?  will it be able to see all my disks then?
[12:28] <AaronMT> !nautilus > jugimaster
[12:28] <Asathoor> Ltar >> ok, then it should work. But I had problems when windows crashed, and then my bootloader went bananas
[12:28] <daedalus> THANKS EVERYBODY
[12:29] <jugimaster> I can see some drives(?) like /dev/sda, /dev/sdb2 and so on, but for example fdisk doesn't want to touch them if i try "fdisk -l sda"
[12:29] <scguy318> jugimaster: Nautilus is GNOME's file manager
[12:29] <daedalus> it worked
[12:29] <jugimaster> i'll check it out
[12:29] <godlygeek> so, i just did an apt-get upgrade, haven't rebooted, and if i log into then out of a tty the getty process doesn't respawn.  that doesn't seem right.  :)
[12:29] <scguy318> jugimaster: what partitions are not mounting? if NTFS perhaps ntfs-config or /etc/fstab tweaking
[12:29] <micky> hello, anyone in the mood to explain how should i redirect 80 / 443 / 5050 traffic through the 2nd gateway i have on my box ? ( i've been trying to get this done for at least 2 months now using A: 2 routing tables and source ip based policy routing / B: 4 ehternet cards using the same approach as A / C: squid + outgoing_address setting / D: iptables with mangle & mark packets + ip route tables) but with barely any success. ( what i have are 2 adsl lines and i w
[12:29] <Asathoor> someone asked for security, try here http://secunia.com/information_partner/anonymous/o.rss
[12:29] <godlygeek> i'm running gutsy, but hoping it's not a gutsy specific problem, and that it can be fixed w/o a reboot.
[12:30] <jugimaster> i think two of three hard-drives are mounting
[12:30] <jugimaster> but the third one is not
[12:30] <bottiger> hmm - suddenly my internet stopped working in ubuntu. eth0 exists (but don't have any IP), and running "/etc/init.d/networking restart" doesn't do anything
[12:30] <scguy318> jugimaster: are all the drives listed in Nautilus?
[12:30] <jugimaster> where is nautilus.. ? :P   should i start it from the terminal?
[12:30] <bottiger> how do I debug this?
[12:30] <Crozar> i cant figure out how to make windows xp work on ubuntu i got the Wine and my winxp cd what next ?
[12:30] <jugimaster> sorry i haven't got that far yet :P
[12:30] <bulmer> bottiger: did you reboot?
[12:30] <scguy318> jugimaster: just double click a folder ;)
[12:30] <blessid> Crozar: ROFL
[12:30] <bottiger> bulmer: yup
[12:30] <scguy318> jugimaster: it's just the little file manager window that pops up
[12:30] <daedalus> thanks everybody, later
[12:31] <Asathoor> nautilus - just click places
[12:31] <jugimaster> oh ok
[12:31] <jugimaster> let's see
[12:31] <bulmer> bottiger: what does ip a  shows?
[12:31] <AaronMT> Crozar, what is it you are trying to do?
[12:31] <Asathoor> choose documents ... or whatever
[12:31] <micky> Crozar run XP on ubuntu with wine ? lol? you`ll need an emulator to run an os on linux just like on windows you need ( vmware or other app like that )
[12:31] <Crozar> to put winxp on the 2nd cube
[12:31] <jugimaster> umm well if you mean if all of them show up in the file browser, the answer is no
[12:31] <Crozar> and 3rd cube Mac OS X
[12:31] <jugimaster> i would have noticed.. :)
[12:31] <Crozar> 2 cubes for ubuntu :D
[12:31] <bottiger> bulmer: no IP shows up
[12:32] <bulmer> bottiger: any interface showing up at all?
[12:32] <openminddj> ANY IDEAS --->  hello...need some help here.  I was disabling beryl from my session startup, clicked on the save session button when everything was just right, and now when i try to log on...i get a splash screen with about 9 metacity icons.  Eventually I get kicked back to the login page.  Other users are fine so it's just this one...how can i recover from this?
[12:32] <AaronMT> !dual boot > Crozar
[12:32] <Asathoor> when booting do I need both a / and a /boot partition?
[12:32] <bottiger> bulmer: yes - both eth0 and eth1
[12:32] <Pici> Crozar: Wine is not a windows xp emulator, its an api layer for running windows programs, not the OS itself.
[12:32] <jugimaster> scguy318: if i try to use the mount command,  will i need to know the correct partition type for what i'm trying to mount?    ..  there's some empty space on the third disk too, so i was hoping i could maybe make a new partition on it!
[12:32] <blessid> emulating two other operating systems sounds like a waste of time
[12:32] <scguy318> jugimaster: mm, can you pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l
[12:32] <Crozar> i dont want dual boot , im a nazi to microsoft
[12:32] <bottiger> ...and the loopback device of course
[12:32] <scguy318> jugimaster: and no
[12:32] <scguy318> !pastebin | jugimaster
[12:32] <ubotu> jugimaster: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[12:32] <scguy318> jugimaster: if you want them to mount on boot, you can just add an fstab entry
[12:33] <bulmer> bottiger: static ip address or dynamic?
[12:33] <Pici> Crozar: We'd appreciate if you didnt use that term that way.
[12:33] <scarborough> scguy: sorry... Im back
[12:33] <Crozar> i want Wine to start some things forexample , o2jam and some win installing games
[12:33] <bulmer> bottiger: wireless?
[12:33] <bottiger> bulmer: dynamic, but it only changes about once a month
[12:33] <AaronMT> Wine is not an emulator
[12:33] <Crozar> what does it do ?
[12:33] <osmosis> how do I figure what package owns a particular file ?
[12:33] <bottiger> bulmer: no - they are both wired NIC's. but only eyh0 is connected
[12:33] <pipegeek> dpkg -S
[12:33] <bulmer> bottiger: is your router to the isp working okay?
[12:33] <godlygeek> osmosis: dpkg -S
[12:33] <pipegeek> osmosis: dpkg -S /path/to/file
[12:33] <bottiger> bulmer: yup - it works from windows
[12:33] <osmosis> cool
[12:34] <scguy318> scarborough: what is it now?
[12:34] <jugimaster> scguy318: OK try this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38297/
[12:34] <Pici> !wine | Crozar
[12:34] <ubotu> Crozar: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[12:34] <jonnymac> how do I run deborphan
[12:34] <bulmer> bottiger: can you switch the cables and see if it makes a difference?
[12:34] <jonnymac> please
[12:34] <Crozar> with virtual machine will i be having the latest nvidia drivers ? rather then using ubuntu for the time being in the full screen worksspace
[12:34] <jugimaster> scguy318: that's two out of three drives :)
[12:34] <jugimaster> but i have no idea what the third drive's name would be
[12:34] <scguy318> jugimaster: i see three partitions
[12:34] <bottiger> bulmer: it doesn't (already done that)
[12:35] <scguy318> jugimaster: excluding the swap
[12:35] <Crozar> compatibility? it havent run All Seeing Eyes or Safari browser :S whats compatible about it?
[12:35] <Say10> Deluge zwns
[12:35] <jugimaster> yes
[12:35] <scarborough> scguy: it said I didnt have the libc development package, and then said I should be in runlevel 3
[12:35] <jugimaster> one of the two disks is only one partition
[12:35] <godlygeek> where does ubuntu have its inittab now that it uses upstart?  i remember something being odd about it...  :)
[12:35] <jugimaster> the other has more
[12:35] <pipegeek> jonnymac: what do you mean, how do you run it?
[12:35] <scguy318> scarborough: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[12:35] <scguy318> scarborough: runlevel 3? just boot in recovery mode
[12:35] <jugimaster> that paste site is nice :)
[12:35] <pipegeek> jonnymac: If it's installed, you should just be able to type 'deborphan' in a shell
[12:35] <scguy318> jugimaster: you want r/w for your NTFS? sudo apt-get install ntfs-config
[12:35] <rowad> I tried to create an extra partition in XP with Partition Magic but after restart I've got blue screen - can't boot XP anymore; and from Ubuntu I can not mount this partition nor resize it... how can I fix this?
[12:35] <bulmer> bottiger: well things do go bad, look under /proc/sys/net see if any of that interfaces are there or maybe even dmesg
[12:36] <osmosis> how do i automatically generate a  menu.lst ?
[12:36] <scguy318> jugimaster: then simply run the NTFS Configuration Utility in System -> Administration
[12:36] <scarborough> scguy: Ok, Ill give that a go.
[12:36] <scguy318> rowad: looks like Partition Magic bewitched your NTFS part, um
[12:36] <jugimaster> scguy318: i've already installed ntfs-3g and ntfs-config,  but if i run NTFS Config,  i don't get a list of drives :x
[12:36] <bottiger> bulmer: could you be more specific?
[12:36] <Ltar> how can I change the permissions on my external USB HDD from a live CD, in order to back up some things before I reinstall ubuntu?
[12:36] <scguy318> rowad: testdisk?
[12:36] <scguy318> rowad: get your datas out
[12:36] <bulmer> bottiger: does dmesg show your interface? try also lspci
[12:37] <scarborough> scguy: If it doesnt work, I was in recoverymode, how do I change runlevel
[12:37] <Crozar> ok lpease somebody tell me why people still want windows? * rather then gaming ...
[12:37] <rowad> testdisk is where?
[12:37] <scguy318> jugimaster: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009, the manual method
[12:37] <Say10> they know windows
[12:37] <scguy318> rowad: sudo apt-get install testdisk, cmd-line, its a data recovery tool
[12:37] <Ltar> or rather, how can I figure out the name of the hard drive, so that I can chmod it?
[12:37] <bottiger> bulmer: hmm - maybe. But I need to boot into linux to see
[12:37] <scguy318> Ltar: is your HDD NTFS?
[12:38] <Crozar> because they know windows but not know this  , some people compare linux as nintendo wii and windows as ps3 i say the opposite , we are power
[12:38] <bottiger> bulmer: anything else you would suggest doing while i'm there?
[12:38] <Ltar> scguy318: oh crap I forgot about that.
[12:38] <bulmer> bottiger: look into /proc/sys/net/conf
[12:38] <scguy318> Ltar: if you have internet access, sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[12:38] <bulmer> bottiger: look into /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf rather
[12:38] <scguy318> Ltar: or really sudo apt-get install ntfs-config
[12:38] <scguy318> Ltar: then you can do NTFS Config Utility
[12:38] <kahrytan> Ltar, and you can install software while running livecd
[12:39] <bottiger> bulmer: okey - thanks
[12:39] <Ltar> scguy318: im talking to you over IRC. I've got the tubes. awsome. I didn't think you could install to a livecd
[12:39] <kahrytan> ltar, installs to memory
[12:40] <bulmer> scguy318: where will the installed package go ?
[12:40] <orangefly_> dumb question....how do i launch ie after installing ie4linux....???....
[12:40] <scguy318> Ltar: it would install into the ramfs filesystem the LiveCD runs off on
[12:40] <Ltar> scguy318: can't find package, do I need to activate the universe/multiverse?
[12:40] <kahrytan> orangefly, better question. Why do you need ie on linux?
[12:40] <scguy318> Ltar: if its not already enabled, yes
[12:41] <scguy318> orangefly_: there should be a nice desktop icon, in Terminal just ie6
[12:41] <Ltar> scguy318: cool. thanks
[12:41] <jugimaster> scguy318: OK, well, ntfs-config said it was remounting my "internal drives"..   I just checked the first checkbox and said "OK", since nothing else showed up :)   How can I check if the partitions now use ntfs-3g instead of plain ntfs ?
[12:41] <kahrytan> orangefly, why dont you just use vmware w/ windows for that
[12:42] <scguy318> jugimaster: type mount in command-line
[12:42] <osmosis> /boot/grub/menu.lst   doesnt exist?  what do I run to have it created?
[12:42] <Kamikura> wow im connected :)
[12:42] <orangefly_> kahrytan: i can't get sopcast to work right....thought ie would work better....
[12:43] <kahrytan> Ltar, ntfs-3g is universe package
[12:43] <jugimaster> scguy318: their type is now "fuseblk"
[12:43] <scguy318> jugimaster: jugimaster: yes, ntfs-3g is mounting your drives
[12:43] <scguy318> jugimaster: and oops
[12:43] <jugimaster> scguy318: come to think of it..   i've got a torrent running, and i have a feeling that might be a small problem for remounting drives.. ? :P
[12:43] <sgtmattbaker> anyone know where I can go to talk about writing English essays
[12:43] <sgtmattbaker> ?
[12:43] <scguy318> jugimaster: i would think it's running off your ext3
[12:43] <Keitaro> err, not to be off topic but is there a chat room for windows xp support?
[12:43] <Pici> Keitaro: ##windows
[12:44] <jugimaster> scguy318: ohh right..  a good point :D
[12:44] <Ltar> sgtmattbaker: class :)
[12:44] <scguy318> sgtmattbaker: not here :P seriously, prob dunno #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:44] <Keitaro> Pici: thnx :)
[12:44] <scguy318> !offtopic
[12:44] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:44] <scguy318> jugimaster: so all good?
[12:44] <jugimaster> scguy318:  for the moment, i guess..   but i'm having weird network problems too
[12:44] <rempresent> this is odd, I just installed ubuntu on this emachine pc that was donated to me, it ran the graphics fine until i updated and restarted
[12:44] <jugimaster> scguy318: thank you for the help! :)
[12:45] <rempresent> is there anyway to determine what graphics this motherboard has
[12:45] <scguy318> jugimaster: np, what network issues
[12:45] <scguy318> rempresent: lspci or glxinfo
[12:45] <rempresent> other than looking at it
[12:45] <allos> Enter hi!!!!can anybody help me with the ubuntu installation???
[12:45] <chrisbudden14> hey there, is there a way to change the default icon size for the desktop?
[12:45] <Xero> allos, Okay.
[12:46] <jugimaster> scguy318: i don't know why, but the throughput of my internet connection is fluctuating wildly..    ( running a torrent, the upload speed (not limited) just keeps changing all over the place, even though it should probably stay somewhere near my maximum at a steady pace )
[12:46] <Xero> allos, what are you having problems with?
[12:46] <scguy318> jugimaster: it could be your ISP or something
[12:46] <scguy318> jugimaster: or perhaps the torrent
[12:46] <AaronMT> System -> Preferences -> Font
[12:46] <allos> i downloaded the cd image
[12:46] <scguy318> jugimaster: have you tried any network test sites?
[12:46] <jugimaster> scguy318:  well, i called my ISP and they don't see any problems
[12:46] <allos> i burnt it
[12:46] <TheEdge> Hullo there
[12:47] <rempresent> kewl... Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G] /GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device supported?
[12:47] <scguy318> jugimaster: they could be throttling BitTorrent, dunno
[12:47] <allos> but when i try to boot from it
[12:47] <TheEdge> I have a question regarding installation, can someone PM me to help?
[12:47] <allos> nothing happens
[12:47] <AaronMT> !ask > TheEdge
[12:47] <scguy318> allos: did you burn it as an image or as a data file? it should be the former
[12:47] <jugimaster> scguy318: it seems that when i'm running a torrent,  things just go awry,  and when not, things are sometimes relatively normal, but websites take a long time to open sometimes
[12:47] <Xero> You do know how to boot from CDs right?
[12:47] <razer> why cant ubuntu find ide when only sata if i have both
[12:47] <rempresent> intel graphics should be alright I think unless there is a patch that broke it
[12:47] <allos> yes
[12:47] <allos> actually
[12:47] <allos> it looks like it boots
[12:48] <jugimaster> scguy318: earlier today, i was foolish enough to fiddle with my /etc/hosts,  but it's supposed to be back to normal now
[12:48] <allos> it shows the ubuntu sign
[12:48] <Xero> allos: So what happens after that?
[12:48] <pipegeek> that like the batsignal?
[12:48] <allos> for a while
[12:48] <allos> nothing!
[12:48] <tr4sh80> does anyone know how to get an intel wireless card into monitor mode using the ipw3945 driver in ubuntu?
[12:48] <scguy318> allos: you get the boot menu?
[12:48] <jugimaster> scguy318:  i've got two network chips and one WLAN on my motherboard..   do you think that the WLAN might be causing some problems?
[12:48] <rempresent> scguy818: should be good right?
[12:48] <Xero> allos: this is strange.
[12:48] <scguy318> jugimaster: not sure, could be
[12:48] <scguy318> rempresent: yes
[12:48] <rempresent> hrm
[12:49] <vancomycin> hi is there a graphial way of setting MTU in ubuntu, networking?
[12:49] <allos> is there any possibility there is something wrong with the image ?
[12:49] <scguy318> allos: did you get a boot menu?
[12:49] <allos> a boot menu?
[12:49] <vancomycin> some of my websites don't load up - and i think my MTU got screwed - i didn't do anything, but accessing hotmail.com for example doesnt load up
[12:49] <jugimaster> scguy318:   How could I turn off the wireless lan?  -  The "network" menu only says that "roaming mode is enabled", and when i try to uncheck the box, it seems to just happily re-enable it ..  :P
[12:49] <scguy318> allos: and yes, of course, you could try to run the CD integrity tech from the boot menu
[12:49] <scguy318> allos: or do a CRC check on the ISO
[12:49] <scguy318> allos: well, MD5
[12:49] <Xero> allos: Might be the image, might be the CD. I'll ask the same question as scguy318 and ask if you got a menu.
[12:49] <Pici> !verify | allos
[12:49] <ubotu> allos: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[12:50] <allos> what do u mean a boot menu?
[12:50] <scguy318> allos: did you get the Ubuntu boot menu?
[12:50] <Xero> allos, something asking if you want to boot Ubuntu, do an integrity check, or other stuff
[12:50] <scguy318> allos: with options
[12:50] <tr4sh80> can someone help me with a wirless problem?
[12:50] <AaronMT> !ask > tr4sh80
[12:50] <allos> a yes
[12:50] <tr4sh80> can't enable monitor mode on my card
[12:50] <Xero> Why is > preferred now instead of | ?
[12:50] <Vorbote> allos: bet you burned that iso on the CD at full speed. If so, there is a 99% chance your cd is a coaster.
[12:51] <Zombine> !ntfs
[12:51] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[12:51] <Ltar> Having installed ntfs3g, I still don't have RW access to my external USB HDD. how can I look up the drives name in order to chmod?
[12:51] <Sippy> does anyone know where the file that prints the server message after log in is located so i can change it on Ubuntu 7.04 server ed.?
[12:51] <bulmer> Xero who said so?
[12:51] <BernieMac> vancomycin, no idea. Other than that how are you liking the ubuntu??
[12:51] <scguy318> Ltar: you have to mount it with ntfs-3g
[12:51] <Xero> Vorbote, I burned my ISO at 48x and it works fine.
[12:51] <tr4sh80> i'm using the ipw3945 driver that came with ubuntu
[12:51] <ashzilla> T
[12:51] <Vorbote> Xero: I like russian roulette too.
[12:51] <tr4sh80> and monitor mode is supposedly supported
[12:51] <Xero> Vorbote: Done it 4 times and it worked.
[12:52] <tr4sh80> but when i run iwconfig eth1 mode 2 it wont set
[12:52] <Ltar> scguy318: I still need the device's name
[12:52] <Vorbote> Xero: a gun has six holes, or more.... :-P
[12:52] <scguy318> Ltar: sudo fdisk -l to find
[12:52] <Xero> Vorbote: True.
[12:52] <vancomycin> hey berniemac, i'm liking it :)  the last couple days i've been preparing for a medical conference - so didn't get too much time, i will be using ubuntu though at the conference :) i need to import some of my windows office powerpoint slides to images if that's possible for the slideshow part
[12:52] <tr4sh80> where would the config file for my wirless driverbe located?
[12:52] <Xero> I guess I'll go burn 10 more ISOs and boot them, prove they work, and laugh.
[12:52] <bjwebb> will it confuse it completely if i end an upgrade part way through?
[12:53] <Sippy> halp plz, does anyone know where i can change the server login message on the ubuntu 7.04 server ed?
[12:53] <Xero> bjwebb, It shouldn't.
[12:53] <magnetron> tr4sh80: are you sure it HAS a config file?
[12:53] <allos> no i didnt burn it in full speed..
[12:53] <scguy318> vancomycin: import PowerPoint slides? OpenOffice.org should do it transparently
[12:53] <bjwebb> Xero: so itll just start downloading from where i stop it
[12:53] <Xero> allos, at the Ubuntu menu, choose 'Start or install Ubuntu;
[12:53] <tr4sh80> magnetron: it should because when i google everything says i have to set it to enable in the config file
[12:53] <scguy318> tr4sh80: I've seen a suggestion to make the ipw3945 driver with Makefile options modified
[12:53] <Xero> bjwebb, once again, it -should-, but I don't know because I don't do that.
[12:53] <scguy318> tr4sh80: for promiscious/monitor
[12:54] <magnetron> tr4sh80: what kind of driver are we talking about?
[12:54] <bjwebb> Xero: hmm
[12:54] <Vorbote> allos: only advice I can give: burn a new iso at low speed and make sure to use burnfree if your writer supports it.
[12:54] <bulmer> tr4sh80: try iwpriv  and see whats shows up as what you can set
[12:54] <bjwebb> ctrl + c
[12:54] <bjwebb> now time for bed
[12:54] <tr4sh80> magnetron: ipw3945 driver for intel cards
[12:54] <Ltar> scguy318: it worked. thanks!
[12:54] <scguy318> allos: you said "a yes", so you got some menu?
[12:54] <tr4sh80> scguy318: ive seen them too but when i try to make a new driver it fails
[12:54] <scguy318> Ltar: np
[12:54] <vancomycin> berniemac - the ubuntuforums are cool - i find almost 80% of my questions already asked - so that's great... yeah i haven't played around with openoffice yet* tonight i will when i get home - i am going to the autopart store to get some oil for the engine - long drive ahead next week so want to prepare for that - thanks for asking how things are with ubuntu :) i'll be around in a while - hopefully you are doing well!
[12:54] <VWJ1bnR1> Why can't I communicate with my modem?
[12:54] <VWJ1bnR1> Anyone?
[12:55] <scguy318> tr4sh80: you do need build-essentials
[12:55] <scguy318> VWJ1bnR1: wut kind of modem
[12:55] <Xero> allos, at the Ubuntu menu, choose 'Start or install Ubuntu'.
[12:55] <bulmer> VWJ1bnR1: maybe it has no power?
[12:55] <tr4sh80> when i iwpriv monitor shows up
[12:55] <VWJ1bnR1> scguy318: I don't know, but I know that it works.  It worked before I reinstalled my system.
[12:55] <BernieMac> vancomycin, good luck with the conference! yeah I'm sure I'll be here, keep up the good work! the forums are pretty amazing
[12:55] <tr4sh80> but when i try to set it it fails
[12:55] <scguy318> VWJ1bnR1: is it like ADSL modem or good ol 56k?
[12:55] <VWJ1bnR1> bulmer: What would power have to do with a modem?
[12:55] <Sippy> does anyone know where the startup message after login is, so I can modify the file that stores it?  (ubuntu server 7.04)
[12:55] <allos> i do so
[12:56] <bulmer> VWJ1bnR1: alot, electronic devices needs to be powered
[12:56] <allos> bu it appears a message
[12:56] <VWJ1bnR1> scguy318: Is the modem integrated into the computer?
[12:56] <Xero> allos, what does it say?

[12:56] <tr4sh80> thats my iwpriv
[12:56] <VWJ1bnR1> scguy318: Yes, dialup.
[12:56] <AaronMT> Pastebin please.
[12:56] <scguy318> VWJ1bnR1: in that case give me a moment
[12:56] <Puppy_> is there a vlc or mplayer plug in to record a audio/video stream that I can set for a specific time (that is really simple)?
[12:56] <VWJ1bnR1> scguy318: I like to go oldschool.
[12:57] <allos> ok...thanks anyway...
[12:57] <Sippy> VWJ1bnR1: is it a serial modem or an internal?
[12:57] <VWJ1bnR1> Internal, I assume.
[12:57] <Xero> allos, I need to know the error to fix it.
[12:57] <VWJ1bnR1> Sippy: Internal, I assume.
[12:57] <scguy318> VWJ1bnR1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[12:57] <vancomycin> thanks BernieMac :) i'll be around!
[12:57] <Xero> allos, it was not a refusal to help. It was a request for you to help me help you.
[12:57] <bulmer> tr4sh80: man iwpriv  to give you options wha tyou can set
[12:57] <allos> i know..
[12:58] <allos> i really thank u
[12:58] <tr4sh80> bulmer: ok i'll try that
[12:58] <allos> i wil check it and i wil tell u
[12:58] <Xero> allos, okay.
[12:58] <amadeux> yo niggaz!
[12:58] <Sippy> VWJ1bnR1: i wish you luck, the link scguy318 provided is a good one, but if your modem doesnt have drivers you might be out of luck.  you have a software modem (win modem) in all probability and it has very limited support these days
[12:58] <Xero> !ohmy | amadeux
[12:58] <ubotu> amadeux: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly.

[12:59] <amadeux> What is the easiest way for me to install compiz fusion on my newly installed Ubuntu system?
[12:59] <tr4sh80> tr4sh80@Joshua:~$ iwpriv eth1 monitor
[12:59] <tr4sh80> The command monitor needs exactly 2 argument(s)...
[12:59] <tr4sh80> what does that mean?
[12:59] <XVampireX> Can anyone please guide me on how to install the latest nvidia drivers so that I would fix my 8800 GTX? :)
[01:00] <Sippy> Can someone experienced with managing servers give me a hand? I need to find the file that changes the login message so instead of getting the ubuntu disclamer I can replace it with a custom message.  If anyone knows where the file is whiich stores that message, I would be very grateful.
[01:00] <jnz_> nobody know how recognize notebook webcam?
[01:00] <bulmer> Sippy: look for /etc/motd
[01:01] <Sippy> bulmer: ah ty :D
[01:01] <tr4sh80> when i try iwpriv to set monitor mode i get this message
[01:01] <tr4sh80> Interface doesn't accept private ioctl...
[01:01] <Sippy> bulmer: exactly what i was looking for
[01:01] <tr4sh80> what does that mean?
[01:01] <bulmer> cool
[01:02] <bulmer> tr4sh80: it meant you can not manually set it?
[01:02] <jugimaster> If a hard-disk doesn't show up in /dev,  will it just be impossible to use it?  ( http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38302/   <--  there's one hard disk missing )
[01:02] <bulmer> no ioctl command for it
[01:02] <tr4sh80> dman!
[01:02] <tr4sh80> i just wanna get this thing into monitor mode its pissing me off
[01:02] <amadeux> What is the easiest way for me to install compiz fusion on my newly installed Ubuntu system?
[01:02] <scguy318> jugimaster: you have two hard disks, with 3 partitions
[01:02] <heguru> jugimaster: is this a SATA controller? can you paste the output of lspci
[01:02] <scguy318> jugimaster: data partitions anyway
[01:03] <jugimaster> scguy318: well, i have a third one plugged in, and it works in windows..  :)
[01:03] <jugimaster> three hdds and a dvd-drive..
[01:03] <scguy318> jugimaster: USB? anything in lsusb?
[01:03] <akos> Hello! Can anyone help me out if there is an automated thing for putting multiple pictures together side by side? like a 2x2 grid, or something... And please don't just say "use gimp", because I am really new to it... :P
[01:04] <jugimaster> scguy318: i've got a couple of drives outside of the computer too, and i used those via USB in windows, but they're not on right now
[01:04] <peeps> is there a way to copy a file over the telnet protocol?
[01:04] <jugimaster> heguru: oh,  well, one of the three drives is an IDE drive, and the other two are SATA
[01:04] <scguy318> peeps: not sure, but why Telnet? wouldn't SSH be better?
[01:04] <micky> any ideas on how i might be able to reroute squid to use the 2nd gateway on my box ?
[01:04] <scguy318> jugimaster: how is the third missing HDD hooked up?
[01:05] <jugimaster> scguy318: it's one of the SATA drives,  so it's one of those slim cables
[01:05] <peeps> scguy318, because i cannot get ssh working, but i can use telnet
[01:05] <amadeux> What is the easiest way to have pidgin starting automatically on logoin?
[01:05] <Vorbote> peeps: zmodem
[01:05] <peeps> scguy318, and it's over a single direct cable from one computer to the other
[01:05] <Vorbote> peeps: or ckermit
[01:05] <jugimaster> scguy318:  i was wondering about this missing drive thing when installing debian and ubuntu too ( had some booting issues and so on before finally getting ubuntu to work )
[01:05] <heguru> amadeux: system -> preferences -> sessions
[01:06] <peeps> Vorbote, do those have to be installed on both server and host?
[01:06] <Vorbote> peeps, yes
[01:06] <tr4sh80> ok i'll give someone 10 bucks to get this damn card into monitor mode for me
[01:06] <bulmer> peeps: how many files you need to copy ? and how big is the file? why not use a usb thumb drive?
[01:06] <peeps> Vorbote, there is not just some simple standard program like scp, but without the encryption?
[01:06] <scguy318> jugimaster: might be a controller thing, pastebin your lspci?
[01:06] <akos> Hello! Can anyone help me out if there is an automated thing for putting multiple pictures together side by side? like a 2x2 grid, or something... And please don't just say "use gimp", because I am really new to it... :P
[01:06] <matthew__> hi, when i try to open a local PHP file in Firefox, it launches the file in Gedit.  I installed Apache and PHP5, so what's the problem?
[01:07] <jugimaster> scguy318: "lspci" command?  well, i'll try that :)
[01:07] <Say10> What is going to speed ubuntu up most? Im thinking with such a low CPU and mem requirements it must be the HD
[01:07] <amadeux> What is the easiest way for me to install compiz fusion on my newly installed Ubuntu system?
[01:07] <peeps> bulmer, usb is not enabled.  i'm trying to copy a file to my linux based router.  i have a bad firmware image, need to replace it
[01:07] <Vorbote> peeps, well talking security holes you can drive an eighteen-wheeler through, there is always rcp...
[01:07] <akos> matthew_, you have to "upload" the file to your local apache server, and use localhost://myfile.php to open it
[01:07] <peeps> Vorbote, thanks i will try that
[01:07] <akos> matthew_, e.g. copy it to the htdocs dir
[01:07] <jugimaster> scguy318: OK, here it is: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38303/
[01:08] <emad> hello every body i want a way to install stuff (themes , cursors ...) form this site http://www.gnome-look.org/
[01:08] <matthew__> akos:  where is the htdocs directory?
[01:08] <Vorbote> peeps: but you'll have to install it in your box, Ubuntu replaces it with scp for a good reason...
[01:08] <jugimaster> emad: it's easy to install emerald-themes, at least, as i just found out recently..  just download them, and click on them with the file explorer :)
[01:08] <MeRodent> emad, what do you want to install as they go into different places.
[01:09] <MeRodent> emad, ie custom cursors go into ~/.icons
[01:09] <akos> matthew_, well by default it's in /var/www/ i think, but check the apach config just to make sure
[01:09] <mikebot> How do I force quit out of a program running in terminal?
[01:09] <peeps> Vorbote, rcp is just an alias for scp
[01:09] <Vorbote> peeps, wait a sec... If yhe remote box has scp (not sftp), you cah use lftp with scp:// and fish:// urls...
[01:09] <snupdc> hello can anyone help me with xgl?
[01:09] <mikebot> Like if it's asking me for a file name./
[01:10] <akos> matthew_, search for "documentroot"
[01:10] <peeps> Vorbote, the machine I am connecting to is not accepting ssh connections
[01:10] <scguy318> jugimaster: what kernel are you?
[01:10] <peeps> Vorbote, but it will accept telnet, so I need to know how to copy a file
[01:11] <Merlin--> hi guys Im starting squid it says started ok when i nmap my internal ip i dont see its port ? any idea what could it be
[01:11] <jugimaster> scguy318:  ubuntu 7.04,  and i accidentally tried to update/install a kernel with apt-get, but i don't know if it went through with it

[01:13] <MeRodent> emad, as I said before you need to extract cursors to ~/.icons/ you then can choose them from sytem prefferences mouse  and choose pointers.
[01:13] <Vorbote> peeps: as long as you can open a port from the remote machine to you box, you can dump files through there.

[01:43] <bulmer> dv310p3r: yes, i thought those were the memory cards you have
[01:44] <noam_> MeRodent, yes, i think. what do you mean by activated? it sees itself in \\windows-machine-ip\, and i see it from here
[01:44] <kst> any ideas why my "beep" wont work? i installed beep package but it just wont beep
[01:44] <dv310p3r> no, sorry
[01:44] <bulmer> dv310p3r:  remove the memory card and see if its detected by dmesg
[01:45] <bulmer> dv310p3r: or look at your /var/log/messages at the end
[01:45] <MeRodent> noam_, I had the same issue as ubuntu was able to see the drives. They came up as $C $D but asked for passwords. Turned out that the directories weren't shared by the windows box.
[01:45] <noam_> MeRodent, i don't actually require anonymous access, i just don't want my sister to enter a password. if i can somehow supply the windows machine default username and password that would work on the ubuntu machine side, i'd even prefer doing that
[01:45] <greg__> heguru: any luck ? or do you know what is the problem ?
[01:45] <bulmer> dv310p3r: also you need to prefix your responses with my nick if its for me, i will miss if it doesnt have
[01:45] <noam_> MeRodent, i'm trying to share a directory from the linux machine to the windows, not hte other way around
[01:46] <Pikaflash> =OOOOOOOOOO

[01:56] <temjin> :)
[01:56] <dv310p3r> bulmer: is there any ways i can force the mount?
[01:57] <Ltar> i'm reinstalling ubnutu, or rather installing 64 bit ubuntu over my old x86 install. I wish to preserve my existing partitions and windows. my hard drive is as such-
[01:57] <Ltar> sda1- 263 mb- I believe this partition held grub, which got corrupted
[01:57] <Ltar> sda2- this is my 50 gb windows partition
[01:57] <Ltar> sda3- this is where I want to install ubuntu (25 gb)
[01:57] <Ltar> sda5- 150 gb FAT32 shared partition that I want to preserve
[01:57] <Ltar> sda6- 2gb partition for linux swap
[01:57] <Zombine> DreadKnight: That is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping would be possible.  Can I change the time limit some how?
[01:57] <bulmer> dv310p3r: use the mount command
[01:57] <Ltar> im at step 4 of the install process, how can I set this up....   the way I want
[01:57] <srvy990> can anyone help me get guifications 2 on the gaim on feisty fawn?
[01:57] <Ltar> i've set sda3 to \, but where will grub be installed?
[01:58] <nickrud> Ltar: as general advice, just leave grub under / , don't make a separate boot partition
[01:58] <DreadKnight> Zombine if you want undefine period, hmm... perhaps try setting up your account rights... but as far as i know you can't be logged with a SU account in ubuntu... anyway.. take a look at it..
[01:58] <Ltar> nickrud: will grub be able to launch windows, then?
[01:58] <bulmer> dv310p3r: i also asked you to look at /var/log/messages  did it show anything when you plugged/unplugged the memory card?
[01:58] <TUXedomember_> i need help hooking up my ti-89ti to ubuntu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
[01:58] <bluestreak_> Dell D620 DVD RW does not work
[01:58] <squidlick> just curious with kubuntu is there anyway to install java,flash, and all that on konquerer
[01:59] <bluestreak_> can some one please help
[01:59] <Zombine> DreadKnight: Okay then.  Thanks.
[01:59] <nickrud> Ltar: yes. Grub should see your windows partition and set it up properly; if it doesn't, there's a simple stanza to add to the menu.lst to enable it. Where grub is has no bearing
[01:59] <Esteth> How do i uninstall something i installed with "make install" ?
[01:59] <squidlick> /
[01:59] <TUXedomember_> help with my ti-89ti needed
[01:59] <nickrud> Esteth: hopefully, make uninstall in the same directory (hope you haven't deleted it)
[02:00] <temjin> hrm
[02:00] <temjin> does compiz have an IRC channel?
[02:00] <nickrud> #compiz-fustion temjin
[02:00] <DreadKnight> Esteth have you searched for that application under synaptic?
[02:00] <demon_spork> TUXedomember, I have one but I haven't messed with it
[02:00] <nickrud> erm #compiz-fusion, rather
[02:00] <temjin> thanks
[02:00] <dv310p3r> gotta go bulmer, thanks for the help, gonna have to try later.
[02:01] <temjin> wanted to see what they thought of that link to Seth's blog from 2yr ago
[02:01] <Esteth> nickrud: Thanks. Dreadknight: Yes, i would have installed it via synaptic, but its a recently in-development plugin for a minor program
[02:01] <Ltar> what sort of "documents and settings" does ubuntu want to import from my XP partition?
[02:01] <bluestreak_> hey guys please, I need this urgent help.. regarding CD rom
[02:01] <bluestreak_> do you know where else I can go and hask
[02:01] <bluestreak_> ask
[02:01] <Ltar> there's not enough space on my ubuntu part for everything on the XP part
[02:01] <Ltar> nevermind. I clicked the arrow.
[02:02] <Ltar> handy
[02:02] <nickrud> bluestreak_: have you tried another cd?
[02:02] <bluestreak_> Yes
[02:02] <bluestreak_> I have tried many CDs
[02:02] <bluestreak_> many Cd roms
[02:02] <bluestreak_> in my latitude
[02:02] <nickrud> Ltar: wanted to see what that does myself, you would have been my guinea pig :)
[02:02] <bluestreak_> this is similar bug -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/94119
[02:03] <DreadKnight> Ltar: make backups, convert partitions to ext3, you should have a root partition "/" for about 10 gb for ubuntu, a swap partition (swap type) for about 2 gb and the rest i set up as "/home" you can have multiple partitions like that ... just mount them to something "/example"
[02:03] <Ltar> nickrud: it's neat. I can select to import settings for firefox, IE, my wallpapers and all of the "My Foo" folders in windows
[02:04] <jnz_> anybody use Suyin webcam on ubuntu???
[02:04] <element3> hi   i have sun java 6 runtime installed on my ubuntu os  but i tired to start executable jar file with that   anybody can help me?
[02:04] <scguy318> element3: java -jar file.jar?
[02:04] <flodine>  is there a easy way to remove the ubuntu icon from the menu and use the gnome footprint of old?

[02:05] <user_> How do I change gcc include directories?
[02:06] <bluestreak_> oh good, I will try that and get back to you dude..
[02:06] <user_> How do I change gcc include directories?
[02:06] <nickrud> bluestreak_: that's a pointer, not saying do it :) I'd look for confirming info first
[02:07] <bluestreak_> damn.. I do not have /etc/mkinitrd/modules. can you please point me how to get this working on ubuntu
[02:07] <bluestreak_> Okay.. let me read about that. Most probably looks like that is a problem
[02:08] <Zombine> Where are the folder permissions stored?  I assume it's some text file in /etc bu I don know which
[02:08] <Vorbote> bluestreak_: /etc/initramfs-tools/
[02:08] <wastrel> user_: man gcc   -I
[02:08] <element3> i use eclupse windows version and i had to execute startup.jar file of this version of eclipse on linux because my plugins will not work on linux version of eclipse but i tired to start startup.jar file on ubuntu
[02:09] <wastrel> who said java is portable
[02:09] <user_> wastrel "man" ?
[02:09] <wastrel> user_: man  is the manual
[02:09] <bluestreak_> thanks Vorbote
[02:09] <wastrel> man <program>   gets you documentation on the program.  use   /  to search  and n  to go to the next match
[02:09] <wastrel> q quits
[02:10] <user_> waster: do you know how to use pkg-config?
[02:10] <fruitbatJim> anyone have netbeans installed?
[02:10] <wastrel> no
[02:10] <superlarsie> nabendschchen
[02:10] <darkcrab> hello all
[02:10] <osmosis> does linux have any ipmi client software?
[02:10] <Ltar> the 7.04 installer seems to make a lot more sense than the 6.10 installer I last used
[02:10] <mheath> Anyone here happen to use the bcm43xx native driver? After hibernate, I get a BCM43xx_IRQ_XMIT_ERROR when the system trys to bring the interface back up
[02:11] <bulmer> mheath: can you try /etc/init.d/networking restart and see if it come back?
[02:12] <mheath> bulmer: that script resets network configuration things. The error i'm having is low level: the module fails to initialize the device, and therefore nothing is bound to eth1
[02:13] <wastrel> mheath: my new trick is to make sure everythings setup properly in /etc/iftab
[02:13] <bulmer> mheath: well maybe that scripts calls ifup inside and load the necessary driver?
[02:13] <wastrel> mine caused me no end of trouble when it got messed up somehow
[02:13] <jnz_> it's possible upgrade kernel with apt-get
[02:13] <jnz_> ?
[02:13] <mheath> wastrel: Ah, I was coincidentally looking at a forum post taht suggested that, right as you suggested it..I'll give that a try.
[02:13] <bluestreak_> making new initrd with mkinitramfs
[02:13] <bluestreak_> I hope thats the right comamnd
[02:14] <mheath> bulmer: The error occurs on the modprobe
[02:14] <mheath> bulmer: You can't even succesfully modprobe the module, let alone bring an interface up
[02:14] <bluestreak_> okay rebooting. and will be back - I hope so.
[02:15] <nickrud> lol
[02:15] <bulmer> mheath:  oh well...its beyond my understanding then
[02:15] <bulmer> anything thats modprobe errors on, is way beyond me
[02:15] <mheath> gotta have an eth1 before you can ifup eth1 :P
[02:15] <RAdams> Is anyone here successfully using the teamspeak-server package?
[02:17] <darkcrab> when I boot up the live CD, it detects eth0 (wired) and my eth1 (wireless), and I input my router name, my encryption type, and the key, it acts like it is connecting, and then goes nowhere.
[02:17] <RAdams> Also, what is the Linux equivalent to ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew and ipconfig /flushdns?
[02:18] <bulmer> RAdams:  man dhclient
[02:18] <scguy318> RAdams: sudo /etc/init.d/nscd restart for flushdns, not sure if thats correct
[02:19] <bulmer> RAdams: you can flush the route table, which i dont recommend.. ")
[02:19] <Random832> why are there eight floppy drives in the "computer" thing in nautilus?
[02:20] <bluestreak_> Guys thank you. That works
[02:20] <bluestreak_> we need to document that some where. :-)
[02:20] <bluestreak_> I am able to read CDs and DVDs now.
[02:20] <nickrud> bluestreak_: help.ubuntu.com/community
[02:20] <bulmer> Random832: you have 8 floppies?
[02:21] <bluestreak_> Can I just go and document it
[02:21] <arakthor> what is the irc channel for 7.10?
[02:21] <bluestreak_> or do I need to do something else
[02:21] <sunilonln> is there an easy way for getting vga and s-video output working with intel 945gm integrated graphics? (i have an hp dv2000t)
[02:21] <sunilonln> the docs at intellinuxgraphics.org mention support for the outputs, but i haven't been able to get any customized xorg.conf working
[02:21] <osmosis> I have IPMI card installed, but no /dev/ipmi
[02:21] <nickrud> bluestreak_: you'll need a launchpad.net account, but otherwise it's a wiki
[02:21] <scguy318> !gutsy | arakthor
[02:21] <ubotu> arakthor: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[02:22] <kyja> yeah I still need to fake a folder to mount like a real device cd/dvd burner
[02:22] <ProN00b> can i connect from remote to my current x session ?
[02:22] <nickrud> more like testing than unstable now ...
[02:22] <ProN00b> or will a new one be started for every connection ?
[02:22] <darkcrab> i looked online and I can find a lot of documentation for if your wireless card is not detected, but I cannot find any docs on if it is detected but wont work.
[02:23] <darkcrab> my card is detected at eth1, but then the system wont connect to my router for some reason or pick up surrounding networks.
[02:23] <bulmer> darkcrab: is your pc connected to a router? can you tell us the layout of your network?
[02:23] <darkcrab> I have a router connected to broadband, wireless, and two wireless computers, one PC and one Apple.
[02:23] <kyja> darkcrab, what do you have a bcm43xx ?
[02:23] <darkcrab> It is a linksys.
[02:24] <darkcrab> Wireless G.
[02:24] <kyja> darkcrab, you will likely have to look for cutter wich chops bcm43xx windows drivers and installs them
[02:24] <kyja> fcutter
[02:25] <kyja> something like that.
[02:25] <darkcrab> Ah, you think it is an ndiswrapper issue?
[02:25] <kyja> that is what I have to do with my hp pavilion is hack it up a bit to use the built in wireless.
[02:25] <bulmer> darkcrab: you are on liveCD ? and you can type the command iwconfig?
[02:26] <kyja> ndiswrapper never worked for me for bcm43xx chips
[02:26] <darkcrab> not atm, but yes I can.
[02:26] <atlfalcons866> is there a kubuntu room
[02:27] <darkcrab> i used iwconfig for knoppix
[02:27] <darkcrab> but I couldnt get that to work.
[02:27] <crasher5> hi
[02:27] <crasher5> How do I clear aptitude's list of install/remove/upgrades?
[02:28] <kyja> I could not either. linksys is a tricky one becuase they cept info about there chip hush and closed.
[02:29] <darkcrab> thanks for the FYI.
[02:29] <crasher5> anyone?
[02:29] <kyja> darkcrab, if you look up fcutter if I remember the name it will work
[02:29] <kyja> I am chatting over wireless linksys 43xx
[02:30] <atlfalcons866> #kubuntu
[02:30] <crasher5> Please anyone help me: How do I clear aptitude's list of scheduled tasks?
[02:30] <crasher5> i want to clear the whole list
[02:30] <agraupe> I'm using feisty with GNOME.  recently, things have stopped appearing in my system tray (amarok, gaim, network-manager, etc.), and I can't figure out what's happened.  has this happened to anyone else?
[02:31] <darkcrab> I think I see it kyja
[02:31] <kyja> darkcrab, if you need to I can zip up a setup with instructions and what you need and send it to you
[02:31] <matthewpoer> crasher5, does 'f' do it? I know it forgets new packages
[02:31] <matthewpoer> or, under actions, "cancel pending actions"
[02:31] <crasher5> what was the second part again?
[02:31] <DreadKnight> agraupe perhaps you've removed systray from your interface
[02:32] <agraupe> DreadKnight: how would I get it back?
[02:32] <razer> hallo.. what is the best way to play wow on ubuntu?
[02:32] <matthewpoer> crasher 5, press "e"
[02:32] <agraupe> DreadKnight: I looked at options to add to the panel, and there was no obviously-named option
[02:32] <matthewpoer> for "cancEl pending actions"
[02:32] <skyfaller> hey folks, I'm interested in running Ubuntu on my new Macbook Pro... do you recommend trying Gutsy Tribe 5?
[02:32] <matthewpoer> it is also available in the Actions menu
[02:32] <agraupe> DreadKnight: what would I do to replace it?
[02:33] <wastrel> ubuntu
[02:33] <ibara> agraupe: it's the "notification area"
[02:33] <DreadKnight> agraupe: right click on the panel, add to panel, and under utilities you have the notification thingy
[02:33] <wastrel> skyfaller: ask in #ubuntu+1  "team gusty"
[02:33] <matthewpoer> crasher5, did you find it?
[02:33] <skyfaller> wastrel: thank you :)
[02:34] <agraupe> DreadKnight: yep, that did it... thanks a lot for the help, I knew I was missing something obvious like that
[02:34] <crasher5> yes, I believe i'm ok now... i was trying to do it from the console
[02:34] <crasher5> thank you matthewpoer
[02:34] <wastrel> rabid weasel?
[02:34] <Grodius> Hi
[02:34] <Grodius> Hihi
[02:34] <matthewpoer> oh, I'm sorry. I haven't a clue how to do it from CLI. I assumed you were using the interface.
[02:34] <kyja> yeah but I am silly like thay
[02:34] <kyja> that
[02:34] <Grodius> Posting from my iphone
[02:34] <bluestreak_> Hey guys, thanks a lot for previous help, I am in process of registering myself and I will document that problem
[02:34] <DreadKnight> agraupe no problem mate.. take care next time.. the GNOME interface is very customizable :D
[02:35] <bluestreak_> now another problem.. I have Logitech USB Handset
[02:35] <bluestreak_> how do I make it default
[02:35] <bluestreak_> or when ever I plug in
[02:35] <wastrel> handset like a phone?
[02:36] <lubosz> hi, where can i set default apps for file extensions in gnome?
[02:37] <ProN00b> can i connect from remote to my current x session, or will a new one be started ?
[02:37] <ubuntu-tw> What about Malaysia?
[02:37] <matthewpoer> ProN00b, usually a new one is started. I think there is some sort of VNC variant that will allow you to connect to an existing X session.
[02:38] <ubuntu-tw> :-*
[02:38] <ubuntu-tw> O:-)
[02:39] <andrew____> hello, can anyone spare a few minutes to help me install wxPython?
[02:39] <ProN00b> matthewpoer, ubuntu has remote desktop which is vnc... but i wanted to use x
[02:39] <lubosz> :-!
[02:40] <wastrel> andrew____: seems to be in the repos
[02:40] <kb0rpj-wx> problem:  "couldn't recognize the image file formart for file '/usr/share/gdm/themes/xubuntu/background.png"  only thing i can do is get the fail safe terminal... any help?
[02:40] <lubosz> where can i set default apllications in gnome?
[02:40] <noam_> andrew____, , er, sudo apt-get install wxpython?
[02:40] <andrew____> wastrel: sorry, repos?  (total noob)  i see python in the install/remove programs, but not wxPython
[02:41] <wastrel> andrew____: the package you want is probably python-wxgtk2.8
[02:41] <wastrel> andrew____: apt-cache search wxpython   is what got me that (among other matches)
[02:41] <matthewpoer> I do not know of any way to connect to an existing X session
[02:42] <lufis> I installed the source package for a kernel module from the repos... what do i do with it?
[02:42] <noam_> andrew____, use a more advanced package manager. add/remove programs shows programs
[02:42] <Terrasque> matthewpoer: vnc
[02:42] <wastrel> !repos | andrew____
[02:42] <ubotu> andrew____: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[02:42] <matthewpoer> terrasque, that's what I was thinking, but ProN00b wants native X stuff, I think.
[02:43] <lubosz> where can i choose the application that opens files with double click in gnome?
[02:43] <sistom-> awesome.
[02:43] <lufis> lubosz: Right-click on the file, select open with
[02:43] <lubosz> lufis: and for default?
[02:43] <lufis> lubosz: You can choose the default app there
[02:43] <lubosz> ah k, thx
[02:43] <lufis> :)
[02:44] <aoeuhtns> how do I get a list of all the packages I have installed?
[02:44] <ibara> you can also do it by right clicking and selecting Properties
[02:44] <wastrel> aoeuhtns: dpkg -l | grep ^ii
[02:44] <lufis> aoeuhtns: In Synaptic, select "Status" on the left bottom pane, then select "Installed"
[02:44] <Pelo> aoeuhtns,  open up synaptic ,  click the status button on the bottom left
[02:45] <aoeuhtns> thanks
[02:45] <shad0w1e> what's the current ubuntu title?

[02:45] <shad0w1e> thanks
[02:45] <andrew____> hey i installed the package you recommended, but the statistical software i'm trying to run (salstat) still will not run.  wxPython is the gui salstat uses.
[02:46] <wastrel> andrew____: do you know what version of wxpython salsat needs?
[02:46] <lufis> Pelo: I just came in at the right time :p
[02:46] <Pelo> andrew__, so install wxpython
[02:46] <lufis> Pelo: Say, can you help a fellow with kernel modules?

[02:46] <kienan> Hi, I have a new laptop with a monitor that supports 1920x1200 resolution. With the default drivers, it's great. With the nvidia drivers, it displays at that resolution, but i have to scroll to see everything (sideways, like my monitory isn't wide enough). Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
[02:46] <lufis> Pelo: ah, me too
[02:47] <andrew____> INSTALLATION - Linux/Unix and Windows (source code):
[02:47] <andrew____> Open the archive using tar/gunzip for packages ending in tar.gz, or something
[02:47] <andrew____> like WinZip for zip archives. There should be a core of files which you need
[02:47] <andrew____> to put somewhere. As you have wxPython installed, I recommend going to the
[02:47] <andrew____> wxPython directory, and putting them into a directory somewhere. Open a
[02:47] <kb0rpj-wx>  "couldn't recognize the image file formart for file '/usr/share/gdm/themes/xubuntu/background.png" <-- any ideas what to do here?
[02:47] <andrew____> console/DOS box, and change to that directory. Then (assuming Python and
[02:47] <andrew____> wxPython has installed properly), run "python salstat.py"
[02:47] <lufis> !pastebin > andrew____
[02:47] <Pelo> andrew__, DO NOT PASTE TO THE CHANNEL
[02:47] <andrew____> sorry
[02:47] <lufis> kb0rpj-wx: corrupted image maybe?
[02:48] <Pelo> andrew__, open a erminal and type   python salstat.py
[02:48] <cr4ck> how do I change my ident?
[02:48] <lufis> kb0rpj-wx: does it open in a graphics program?
[02:48] <cr4ck> in xchat
[02:48] <nickrud> kb0rpj-wx: right click that file, check the image properties
[02:48] <kb0rpj-wx> ok.. well i can't start up to do anything.. so i can't tell you
[02:48] <Pelo> cr4ck,  ask in #xchat
[02:48] <temjin_> http://www.digg.com/linux_unix/Linux_Desktop_Compositing_How_Far_We_ve_Come :)
[02:48] <cr4ck> kk
[02:48] <InSaNiTyIG> i dont get how to install wine. im having problems
[02:49] <kb0rpj-wx> only thing i can get to is the fail-safe terminal
[02:49] <wastrel> kb0rpj-wx: boot to recovery mode (hit esc when you see the grub line at the top of the screen while booting
[02:49] <wastrel> )
[02:49] <lufis> I installed a source package for a kernel module from the repos (there is no binary available). How do I compile it and install it?
[02:49] <andrew____> pelo: all i have done so far is extract the tar.gz file that salstat came in.  'python salstat.py' returns: can't open, no such file or directory
[02:49] <Pelo> andrew__, is there an INSTALL file in the salstat folder ?
[02:49] <nickrud> lufis: module-assistant (and the INSTALL file in the source
[02:49] <andrew____> ah i have to go to the directory!  sorry im really new at command line operations
[02:49] <Vorbote> lufis: build-essential + module-utils
[02:50] <lufis> nickrud: Where's the source, tho?
[02:50] <lufis> /usr/src?
[02:50] <nickrud> lufis: yes
[02:50] <kb0rpj-wx> btw - if it helps.. what it's telling me before the fail safe is, "cannot find or run the base script, running GNOME fail safe session instead"
[02:50] <lufis> ok
[02:50] <andrew____> no, no install file.  hold on let me try 'python salstat.py' again after i cd to the right dir
[02:50] <lufis> Ah, there it is!
[02:50] <kb0rpj-wx> then it tells me i can't run gnome fail safe.. running xterm failsafe
[02:50] <larson9999> what's the main tool for recovering lost partitions?
[02:51] <kb0rpj-wx> so there's where i am, at the failsafe terminal
[02:51] <Pelo> !enter | kb0rpj-wx
[02:51] <ubotu> kb0rpj-wx: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[02:51] <nickrud> kb0rpj-wx: hopefully there's more info in ~/.xsession-errors
[02:51] <cr4ck> my installer crashed
[02:51] <cr4ck> wtf
[02:51] <andrew____> 'import error.  cannot import name editor'
[02:51] <lufis> nickrud: after it's compiled, how do I register it?
[02:51] <wo0f> hi guys, how do i install on a raid0 array?
[02:52] <Pelo> !raid > wo0f
[02:52] <Sirrush> meow
[02:52] <Pelo> andrew__, any  readme file in that folder ?
[02:52] <nickrud> lufis: that's what module-assistant is for
[02:52] <kb0rpj-wx> sorry, my bad, ok.. so i need to restart and go at it from recovery mode?
[02:52] <lufis> nickrud: ok
[02:52] <andrew____> yes, what should i look for in the readme?
[02:52] <wo0f> Pelo, cheers.
[02:52] <kb0rpj-wx> i'm sorry for sounding so stupid, just the fact i am stupid about all this
[02:52] <andrew____> also, how do i check to make sure i have python and wxpython installed?  it seemed like it worked when i did it a minute ago i'd just like to make sure
[02:52] <c01100011> dual screen ati Xorg.conf configuration - point me in the right direction please
[02:53] <nickrud> lufis: basically you copy the module into /lib/modules/linux-image-$(uname -r) somewhere and run depmod -a
[02:53] <wastrel> kb0rpj-wx: no, if you're in gnome you don't need to restart
[02:53] <Pelo> andrew__, no idea usualy when you get a tar.gz file you read the install file and/or the readme file,   any install.sh file in there ?
[02:53] <ProN00b> how can i connect to my current x session from remote ? (native x, Not vnc)
[02:53] <wastrel> Pelo: it's a python proggy, no install needed
[02:53] <Pelo> !dualhead > c01100011 check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[02:54] <Pelo> wastrel,  tell andrew____  how to deal with it then
[02:54] <andrew____> no, no install file.  the documentation only says that python and wxpython are required.
[02:54] <wastrel> andrew____: at this point i think it's a problem with the salstat program
[02:54] <nickrud> ProN00b: ssh -X  is usually good (install ssh-server on the machine you want to access and edit /etc/ssh_config to listen to outside connections)
[02:54] <andrew____> darn!
[02:55] <kb0rpj-wx> wastrel right now, i'm in the xterm failsafe terminal
[02:55] <gunspoja> gday everyone
[02:55] <wastrel> andrew__: last update seems to have been in 2003?
[02:55] <nickrud> andrew____: most python apps simply need to be in the path.
[02:55] <andrew____> is there any way i can verify that? i'd really like to get this working it seems like the best statistical software out there for linux
[02:55] <wastrel> andrew__: newer versions of python and wxwidgets may be b0rking the script.
[02:55] <gunspoja> I'm having a bit of trouble adding a dictionary server to the dictionary tool, does anyone know how to do tis?
[02:55] <gunspoja> *this
[02:55] <andrew____> nick: can you clarify that for me please.  what does it mean that 'python apps need to be in the path' which path?
[02:56] <andrew____> is it worth trying an older version of either program?
[02:56] <wastrel> andrew____: R is what we used n my stats class
[02:56] <wastrel> but it's not user friendly
[02:56] <andrew____> does R have a gui or is it all text based?
[02:56] <nickrud> andrew____: I'd listen to wastrel more on this (his comment seems on the spot) and 'path' means what  echo $PATH shows you
[02:56] <Kitsun> My laptops screen wont turn back on after I close it, but it still responds as if the screen were on
[02:56] <andrew____> i want something i can import data from ooffice and just get my results
[02:56] <Pelo> kb0rpj-wx, what is it you need to do anyway ?
[02:57] <wastrel> andrew____: we used it cli but it has the ability to display plots and charts
[02:57] <wastrel> i don't know if there's a GUI interface for users
[02:57] <InSaNiTyIG> im having problems installing wine. can anyone help me?
[02:57] <kb0rpj-wx>  Pelo : make my system start again
[02:57] <kb0rpj-wx> i can't start
[02:57] <andrew____> alright thanks for your help
[02:57] <Pelo> Kitsun, suspend /hibernat is not the most reliable in linux in general,  look for stuff on this in the forum www.ubuntuforum.org
[02:57] <Pelo> kb0rpj-wx,  what happened ?
[02:58] <Kitsun> Pelo, but I don't think it suspends or hibernates, I have set it to just turn off the screen in the power management settings
[02:58] <Pelo> Kitsun, in the bios or in ubuntu ?
[02:59] <kb0rpj-wx> i don't know.. i restarted my system and it told me that it couldn't start.. gave the error of "couldn't recognize the image file formart for file '/usr/share/gdm/themes/xubuntu/background.png" and then it says it will try GNOME fail-safe, it also errors.. then ends up with xterm failsafe
[02:59] <Kitsun> ubuntu
[02:59] <Kitsun> iirc I set the bios to do nothing
[02:59] <bluestreak_> I got the DVD working
[02:59] <bluestreak_> but not CD
[02:59] <Pelo> Kitsun, I don'T know how to get it back , have you tried  ctrl_alt_backspace that will restart x  , but it will kill any running gui app
[02:59] <bluestreak_> it does read DVD but does not read CD in my computer on D620
[03:00] <Pelo> kb0rpj-wx,  look up the error msg in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org
[03:00] <avt3kk> what can I install from ubuntu dapper drake synaptic package manager to copy a cd?
[03:00] <avt3kk> guys
[03:01] <nickrud> kb0rpj-wx: in that terminal, try    file /usr/share/gdm/themes/xubuntu/background.png   , what does that say?
[03:01] <Pelo> avt3kk,  data or music ?
[03:01] <avt3kk> data pictures
[03:01] <Pelo> avt3kk, gnomebaker
[03:01] <avt3kk> isnt there another?
[03:01] <gunspoja> anybody know how to use the ubuntu dictionary tool?  it doesn't appear to work properly :/
[03:01] <nickrud> avt3kk: k3b
[03:02] <Pelo> avt3kk, nautilus also can also burn cds
[03:02] <wastrel> there's a dictionary tool?
[03:02] <Pelo> avt3kk, open up synaptic and search for  cd
[03:02] <Pelo> wastrel,  in the accesories menu
[03:02] <avt3kk> whats faster k3b gnomebaker or nautilus???
[03:02] <avt3kk> ook ty
[03:02] <MasterShrek> avt3kk, i suggest k3b, but you need to install kde libraries and stuff for it
[03:02] <avt3kk> Pelo ty
[03:02] <wastrel> nifty
[03:02] <Kitsun> Pelo, restarting x works, but I would prefer not losing all my open apps
[03:02] <gunspoja> wastrel, yes there is, and I'm trying to use it
[03:02] <bluestreak_> I have got one more hint
[03:03] <bluestreak_> let me try that and I will get back to you guys :-)
[03:03] <gunspoja> but it seems like it doesn't support the dictionary standard :/ i keep getting errors
[03:03] <nickrud> gunspoja: you have a dictd server running locally?
[03:03] <Pelo> Kitsun,  it was a bandaid solution ,  try looking in the powermanagerment tools see if there are options for turning the screen back on or some such
[03:03] <gunspoja> nickrud, no, I'm trying to add a dict server to the dictionary tool, but it won't work
[03:04] <kb0rpj-wx> it says /usr/share/gdm/themes/xubuntu/background.png: PNG image data, 1024 x 768 8-bit/color RGB non-interlaced
[03:04] <nickrud> gunspoja: I gave up on that tool, I just do it from the command line now
[03:04] <gunspoja> and its the right server and settings, because the dictionaries list from the server is visible
[03:04] <skyfaller> hey folks... is there any channel for Intel Mac users?  I have a Macbook Pro that I could use some help with
[03:04] <avt3kk> im using gnomebaker
[03:05] <avt3kk> hope uits fast
[03:05] <gunspoja> but when I try to do a query, it says "Bad parameters for command 'DEFINE'"
[03:05] <nickrud> kb0rpj-wx: try running     eog   /usr/share/gdm/themes/xubuntu/background.png    does it look right?
[03:05] <Pelo> skyfaller, not specificaly,  this is pretty much "the" ubuntu channel, not all that many mac users tho, try and ask a quesiton and we will do our best
[03:05] <gunspoja> nickrud, I'd much rather use a version where I don't have to type out the whole command every time, just the word I want
[03:05] <kb0rpj-wx> says eog is not installed
[03:05] <avt3kk> ty guys :)
[03:05] <InSaNiTyIG> is there anyone who can help me with wine on ubuntu feisty fawn?
[03:06] <Pelo> InSaNiTyIG, what is the issue ?
[03:06] <gunspoja> InSaNiTyIG, have you asked in #winehq ?
[03:06] <nickrud> gunspoja: true. I really liked the gtk1.2 front end. But as I said, I gave up on that one
[03:06] <skyfaller> Pelo: well, I have a https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookProSantaRosa  ... and reading that page doesn't seem to make it clear whether I want to use Gutsy or Feisty
[03:06] <gunspoja> why did you give up on it?
[03:06] <InSaNiTyIG> im not sure how to install it. the steps are for 6.06
[03:06] <nickrud> kb0rpj-wx: don't know what image viewer comes with xubuntu ;(
[03:06] <InSaNiTyIG> on this site
[03:06] <InSaNiTyIG> !wine
[03:06] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[03:06] <skyfaller> Pelo: so I'm hoping to find someone who has experience and can tell me which I want :)
[03:06] <Pelo> skyfaller,  gutsy is still in alpha  so go for feisty
[03:06] <kb0rpj-wx> i'm installing eog
[03:06] <andy_> What is the command for moving files from one destination to another?
[03:06] <gunspoja> InSaNiTyIG, those steps should still work
[03:07] <skyfaller> Pelo: heh, OK, thanks for the clear answer :)
[03:07] <wastrel> andy_: mv files destination/
[03:07] <kb0rpj-wx> image looks fine
[03:07] <InSaNiTyIG> i tried the steps for 7.04 but it gave me errors
[03:07] <andy_> ty
[03:07] <gunspoja> oh ok
[03:07] <Pelo> InSaNiTyIG,  open the terminal and type   sudo apt-get install wine
[03:07] <gunspoja> sudo apt-get install wine didn't work?
[03:07] <gunspoja> that's all I needed to do :/
[03:07] <wastrel> andy_: be careful, that will overwrite existing files without pompting.   use mv -i for more safety
[03:08] <wastrel> (if the files you're moving have the same filenames as files in the destination)
[03:08] <InSaNiTyIG> thats not whats listed on the site but i'll do that
[03:08] <andy_> wastrel:  so mv -i  (from) (to)
[03:08] <andy_> ?
[03:08] <gunspoja> InSaNiTyIG, that's the typical way to install almost anything when its in the repositories
[03:08] <Pelo> InSaNiTyIG,  it's the easy way
[03:08] <InSaNiTyIG> i know, thats why i was confused
[03:08] <gunspoja> usually you won't even need to look for install instructions, just do "sudo apt-get install packagename"
[03:09] <gunspoja> although sometimes the packages have really stupid names
[03:09] <Pelo> InSaNiTyIG, some of those "site" aren't alll that good
[03:09] <gunspoja> so its not always easy to guess what the names are, you might have to do a bit of googling :P
[03:09] <wastrel> andy_: yeah
[03:09] <nickrud> kb0rpj-wx: no idea then
[03:09] <gunspoja> so, does anybody have any idea of how to use the dictionary tool at all?
[03:09] <Pelo> gunspoja,   that's why there is  sudo apt-cache search keyword
[03:09] <andy_> wastrel:  thanks, appreciate it :)
[03:09] <nickrud> kb0rpj-wx: maybe copying a jpeg file there. Scattergun approach
[03:09] <gunspoja> or how I can debug it and find out what is broken
[03:09] <julius> Hey
[03:10] <kb0rpj-wx> is there anyway for me to change themes and try to see if it will work?
[03:10] <gunspoja> Pelo, knowing about that command would have saved me a lot of time in the past :P
[03:10] <julius> It is possible to install KDE completely over gnome, right?
[03:10] <nickrud> julius: alongside, yes.
[03:10] <Pelo> gunspoja, check the about in the dict for a link to the maker website see if they have extra info
[03:10] <gunspoja> Pelo, where would that be?
[03:10] <Pelo> julius, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[03:10] <julius> nickrud: Well, I don't like the look of gnome and I'd rather only have kde running as my desktop
[03:11] <stonebear> how can one tell which they are using?
[03:11] <nickrud> julius: Pelo knows the key to removing gnome, he has a link somewhere
[03:11] <Pelo> gunspoja, open the dictionnary,   in the menu,  under help ,  see  about
[03:11] <wastrel> stonebear: lsb_release -a
[03:11] <gunspoja> ah ok
[03:11] <stonebear> thanks
[03:11] <rhaag71> Gusty problem, is this a good channel?
[03:11] <wastrel> rhaag71: #ubuntu+1
[03:11] <julius> Pelo, you think you dig up that link for me? :D

[03:11] <achilles> SOS
[03:11] <rhaag71> thanks
[03:11] <achilles> can anyone help me
[03:11] <montgoej> does anyone know why my right arrow key would just stop working?
[03:12] <tsukasa> hey my keyboard shortcut for launch terminal stopped working, but its still binded
[03:12] <wastrel> !ask | achilles
[03:12] <ubotu> achilles: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:12] <achilles> i cannot play video files in Ubuntu
[03:12] <stonebear> gotta ask the question achilles
[03:12] <montgoej> on my laptop, Acer ASpire 3680
[03:12] <Pelo> julius,  hold on
[03:12] <achilles> and have reinstaled the OS 12 times
[03:12] <wastrel> achilles: stop reinstalling
[03:12] <stonebear> have the codecs?
[03:12] <vocx> !codecs | achilles
[03:12] <ubotu> achilles: 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
[03:12] <achilles> i did man
[03:12] <achilles> all the stuff
[03:12] <darkcrab> i dont think ubuntu has adobe flashplayer preinstalled.
[03:12] <achilles> even installed fedora 7 same issue
[03:12] <Slart> Hello, I've got some problems restoring my grub boot thingy after I installed windows... now I'm stuck in gamer-land.. =/.. the usual root(blabla), setup(blabla) didn't work when I tried it.. any hints on what else to try?
[03:12] <vocx> !enter | achilles
[03:12] <ubotu> achilles: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[03:12] <Slart> !grub
[03:12] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[03:12] <shad0w1e> I would've realized after about the 2nd time reinstalling that the codecs arent going to work if i installed the OS again 30 more times...
[03:12] <achilles> ok
[03:13] <doctormo> anyone need me?
[03:13] <shad0w1e> I remember having to download a bunch of codecs and extracting them into the codec directory..
[03:13] <achilles> You wont belive i have been playiong around with it for 2 weeks and ended up buying a new CPU
[03:13] <stonebear> That's what i need to do
[03:13] <darkcrab> achilles, did you install adobe flashplayer?
[03:13] <wastrel> you just have to enable universe and multiverse, install flashplayer and mplayer and those gstreamer plugins
[03:13] <achilles> no
[03:13] <blix> folks
[03:13] <julius> Pelo, save it
[03:13] <julius> I'll bbl
[03:13] <julius> Sorry
[03:14] <gunspoja> Pelo, there aren't any links to websites anywhere, also I followed the instructions exactly as it said and added the dict server properly, but for some reason it still won't work :/
[03:14] <achilles> see i had Kubuntu for over a year and kaffeine was working fine
[03:14] <shad0w1e> hey does anyone know a good distro (with a decent UI, preferably XFCE) for a AMD 350mhz laptop with 96mb ram? Damn Small is kind of not enough.. thanks
[03:14] <vocx> Slart, boot up the Live CD and use "grub-install" in your mounted Hard drive. I cannot explain it in few words.
[03:14] <nagaozen> moorning
[03:14] <gunspoja> it just keeps returning the same error
[03:14] <darkcrab> you have to install flashplayer and those plugins just like you have to with windows.
[03:14] <achilles> till the other day it stopped playing avi and other video
[03:14] <blix> I'm on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS...I find it crashes after a while
[03:14] <sn0> shad0w1e any distro really, try fluxbox or another of the lighter window environments
[03:14] <blix> are later versions more reliable?
[03:14] <wastrel> achilles: can you play them with mplayer?
[03:14] <wastrel> which video player are you using?
[03:14] <stonebear> I just stream video to my tv via xbmc, i didnt bother w/ mplayer and all that.
[03:14] <Slart> vocx: done that.. didn't change a this.. still boots into windows =/
[03:14] <darkcrab> oh
[03:14] <achilles> i have wasted so much of time and money
[03:14] <Pelo> gunspoja, that's all I could do for you,  try looking in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org
[03:15] <achilles> i cannot play naything with any player not even on different flavor that is fedora
[03:15] <shad0w1e> sn0, what I like about Ubuntu is that it's newb friendly, automatic updates, nice installer, etc. I'd like a similiar setup, but with XFCE, I suppose. Fluxbox is kind of not enough
[03:15] <achilles> thats the thing i am so pissed
[03:15] <wastrel> shad0w1e: install xubuntu-desktop
[03:15] <shad0w1e> Will Xubuntu do all that?
[03:15] <gunspoja> achilles, im sure you are
[03:15] <stonebear> i really liked fluxbox
[03:15] <shad0w1e> ahh nice
[03:15] <achilles> i bought a new CPU all togather, last thing i want is to switch over to windows
[03:15] <shad0w1e> this is for someone coming from wnidows
[03:15] <sn0> xubuntu:)
[03:15] <gunspoja> achilles, cpu wouldn't have anything to do with it
[03:16] <vocx> Slart, I find that odd. You should have "grub-install"ed the MBR so you shouldn't be able to boot into Windows directly.
[03:16] <shad0w1e> want to be able to show them some basic stuff and have them be on their own
[03:16] <darkcrab> i would think graphics card.
[03:16] <achilles> yeah man but i was so pissed
[03:16] <mike05> GIJOE
[03:16] <gunspoja> that's no excuse for being pissed
[03:16] <mike05>
[03:16] <shad0w1e> kool, thanks people
[03:16] <achilles> and even after 12 reinstalls there is no luck and no solution around
[03:16] <stonebear> heh
[03:16] <gunspoja> you might as well have bought a new house or car and complained about that :P
[03:16] <sn0> maybe check out lighter weight browsers and applications too shad0w1e
[03:16] <sn0> as firefox tends to use lots of ram :)
[03:16] <wastrel> achilles: the thing to do is stop reinstalling and start troubleshooting the actual problem.
[03:16] <darkcrab> have you run diagnostics on your graphic card achilles?
[03:16] <gunspoja> can you play raw video? (i.e. no codecs in use)
[03:16] <shad0w1e> yeah firefox is a hog
[03:16] <wastrel> achilles: have you installed the codecs and players and stuff?
[03:17] <shad0w1e> but it works with every page...
[03:17] <gunspoja> wastrel, he said he tried all that
[03:17] <darkcrab> he said he already has that stuff wastrel
[03:17] <shad0w1e> (almost)
[03:17] <achilles> yeah you know waht is happening now after reinstall when i play a avi file, kaffiene the screen stays blank and the video jumps in minutes
[03:17] <sn0> i find opera/ ephiphany to be quite light weight ( depends on load really ) but at my mums i use a k6-2 350 with 128meg ram and it runs great with opera
[03:17] <gunspoja> gday AusDude
[03:17] <Slart> vocx: yes.. all of the howto's agree with you.. they also claimed that the "root (hdX,Y), setup(hdX)" should fix it.. that didn't work either
[03:17] <darkcrab> Achilles, black, I almost bet its your video card man.
[03:17] <InSaNiTyIG> well, i got wine installed but i cant access programs. i installed AIM but it wont run
[03:17] <shad0w1e> sn0, pretty much my setup, a drop less ram. thanks opera might be good
[03:17] <gunspoja> achilles, video jumps?
[03:17] <Pelo> julius, you want to remove ubuntu-desktop ?
[03:17] <matthew__> i'm trying to open a local PHP file in Firefox, but it tries to download it, instead of opening it.  I have php5 and apache2 installed, what's the deal?
[03:17] <wastrel> achilles: are you using compiz or beryl?
[03:17] <achilles> where to start with am done with all thos w32codecs in /usr/lib/win32
[03:18] <gunspoja> achilles, so it does actually play, just with very poor performance?
[03:18] <achilles> nopes nothing
[03:18] <tsukasa> hey someone help -- my openoffice install has a bunch of square blocks in all the menus
[03:18] <achilles> am on ubuntu 6.10 fresh install
[03:18] <gunspoja> you said "the video jumps in minutes"?
[03:18] <BlindeApe> hey when i logon it always saves the state of the session but its not enabled...?
[03:18] <shad0w1e> matthew_, are you loading it as a file, or with an http://localhost kind of address?
[03:18] <Pelo> julius, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde
[03:18] <stonebear> matt : are you opening it up via the web and not from the folders?
[03:18] <achilles> video jumps means it jumps with 5 minutes of video n second and ends the entire movie
[03:18] <gunspoja> matthew_, do you have a webserver running?
[03:18] <Slart> vocx: then I figured the super grub boot disk would be a nice thing to try.. they said to chose language, what I'm running etc in a nice menu.. I burned the iso and all I got was a grub prompt.. I'm starting to think the world is conspiring to make me crazy
[03:19] <gunspoja> achilles, so it doesn't actually display any of the frames from the video?
[03:19] <vocx> Slart, and you checked your BIOS settings, and nothing? What is this, notebook or desktop?
[03:19] <InSaNiTyIG> do i need to do something else with wine to get programs to run? i cant get AIM running
[03:19] <gunspoja> achilles, does the little preview icon of the video work?
[03:19] <wastrel> InSaNiTyIG: you can get AIM for linux
[03:19] <gunspoja> InSaNiTyIG, wine is tricky to use sometimes, things often don't just work straight away
[03:19] <nomasteryoda> Slart, nice disk... ya just boot promt
[03:19] <shad0w1e> what a strange thing to be using WINE for...
[03:19] <Slart> vocx: regular desktop.. it's been working fine until I installed winxp earlier today
  using http://localhost/index.php
[03:19] <achilles> nopes nothing
[03:19] <darkcrab> why would you want to wastrel?
[03:19] <Thormx> !
[03:19] <achilles> its all blank gunspoja
[03:19] <shad0w1e> matthew_, then you need to edit your apache config to load mod_php
[03:20] <gunspoja> achilles, try to play some raw video
[03:20] <achilles> and above all i cant even play mp3 files :(
[03:20] <gunspoja> uhh...weird
[03:20] <gunspoja> can you play WAV files
[03:20] <achilles> i need serious help am so frustrated
[03:20] <darkcrab> you cant play mp3 either?
[03:20] <andrew____> ok new question: i have tried to change my default mp3 player from totem to vlc several times.  each time it the action does not stick and the default is reset to totem for some reason.  fixes?
[03:20] <wastrel> achilles: sound works?
[03:20] <InSaNiTyIG> wastrel: i know, but it was a test exe
[03:20] <achilles> yeah it works
[03:20] <achilles> its a new CPU all together
[03:20] <darkcrab> fook, that makes me wonder if its not your gc, but maybe something with your sound card then.
[03:20] <wastrel> achilles: what happens when you try to play mp3
[03:20] <achilles> the basic welcome sound sall works
[03:21] <InSaNiTyIG> gunspoja: will a reboot get things using wine to work?
[03:21] <BlindeApe> Autosave state is disabled but anything in my previous session still loads, how can I fix this?
[03:21] <gunspoja> achilles, new cpu will have nothing to do with it
[03:21] <Llivavin> Can someone help me with my audio problem?
[03:21] <achilles> when i installed fedora with amarok it said xine do not have support for playing mp3
[03:21] <gunspoja> InSaNiTyIG, as i said, things in wine don't always "just work" - linux isn't mac :P
[03:21] <vocx> !someone | Llivavin
[03:21] <ubotu> Llivavin: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:21] <darkcrab> does your system have a seperate graphics card or a combined intel chipset?
[03:21] <stonebear> achilles: You need a new cpu.
 what is the apache config file?
[03:21] <stonebear> 8P
[03:21] <gunspoja> InSaNiTyIG, and rebooting probably won't help.  figure out what the problem is.  does it ask for dlls or something?
[03:21] <achilles> stonebear: i bouyght a new cpu mate
[03:21] <gunspoja> stonebear, no he doesn't...
[03:22] <gunspoja> don't give useless advice
[03:22] <Llivavin> ok vocx Can someone tell me what could cause audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Resource busy or not available. as an error?
[03:22] <shad0w1e> matthew_, not sure but running this command will tell you: grep -R "LoadModule" /etc/
[03:22] <InSaNiTyIG> gunspoja: it just doesnt load
[03:22] <achilles> its 4 in the morning and have not slept for 3 nights
[03:22] <achilles> trying to solve this
[03:22] <gunspoja> InSaNiTyIG, does it DO anything? at all?
[03:22] <gunspoja> InSaNiTyIG, the command-line should at least return some errors or something
[03:22] <stonebear> it was a joke, relax. 8)
[03:23] <darkcrab> achilles, I am just thinking that if the problem occurs on several seperate distributions, and it is just recent and you know it worked before, then it must be hardware related and not software.
[03:23] <gunspoja> achilles, get some sleep first...that is obviously more important than watching videos
[03:23] <achilles> help me guy help me justify my 500 dollars
[03:23] <gunspoja> achilles, its nobody's fault but yourself that you went and bought a cpu
[03:23] <vocx> Llivavin, are you testing the sound? I think I've seen that error, seems like a bug. It never appeared again in Feisty in my case.
[03:23] <stonebear> shoulda spent 75 on an an xbox + samba = media heaven.
[03:23] <achilles> darkcrab: you are right so the thing didnt work on both fedora as well as kubuntu so i bought a new cpu all together
[03:23] <gunspoja> darkcrab, I doubt it, all the codecs are software-based
[03:23] <BlindeApe> Autosave state is disabled but anything in my previous session still loads, how can I fix this?
[03:23] <achilles> but its exactly the same issue
[03:24] <Fr33sc4p3Guest> hey
[03:24] <Fr33sc4p3Guest> wassup?
[03:24] <achilles> gunspoja: can the dsub cable be causing the rpoblem
[03:24] <Fr33sc4p3Guest> how many ppl are on right now?
[03:24] <stonebear> 1096
[03:24] <gunspoja> achilles, you didn't answer my question about playing raw video
[03:24] <Llivavin> Hrm... is there a way to shut off the sound you get when you first login?
[03:24] <achilles> i ahve a lcd tv as monitor connected with Dsub cable
[03:24] <Pelo> Fr33sc4p3Guest, 1097
[03:24] <tsukasa> hey can someone help me... my openoffice menus are all squares
[03:24] <darkcrab> To me achilles, if it was a CPU issue, you would be seeing more performance problems rather than localized issues.
[03:24] <gunspoja> achilles, is it a laptop?
[03:24] <Fr33sc4p3Guest> how do i get limewire to my ipod?
[03:24] <achilles> gunspoja: i have not played where can i get it
[03:25] <wastrel> Llivavin: system > prefs > sound > sounds
[03:25] <InSaNiTyIG> gunspoja: i saw a few errors during install but i forget what
[03:25] <skyfaller> hey folks... do you recommend putting the 32 bit version or 64 bit version of Feisty on my Macbook Pro?
[03:25] <achilles> no its a desktop with a LCd tv as a monitor
[03:25] <skyfaller> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookProSantaRosa  doesn't indicate any preference
[03:25] <Pelo> tsukasa,  in OOo, menu > tools > options > display :  toolbar I think , select default or automatix
[03:25] <InSaNiTyIG> im trying to uninstall but its not letting me. cant access instal.log
[03:25] <InSaNiTyIG> trying to find it
[03:25] <gunspoja> achilles, I have  the same setup, it shouldn't be a problem
[03:25] <achilles> connected witha 15 pin DSUB cable i ahve fine display anyways
[03:25] <Llivavin> lets see...
[03:25] <tsukasa> Pelo: i cant read my menus, how am i supposed to do that
[03:25] <gunspoja> InSaNiTyIG, sometimes wine has permission errors, but don't ever EVER run it with sudo
[03:25] <Fr33sc4p3Guest> how do i get limewire songs to my ipod?
[03:25] <achilles> yeah i dint had too till the other day
[03:25] <achilles> me and ub untu were haveing fun for 1 year
[03:26] <shad0w1e> skyfaller, 64 bit is a bit faster (especially if you are doing CPU intensive stuff like video encoding / etc) but at the expense of some software packages not working. Depends on your needs.
[03:26] <darkcrab> and the fact that you changed your CPU, and it didnt help, confirms that it is probabably not the CPU achilles, but, also make sure linux is configuring your new CPU correctly.
[03:26] <InSaNiTyIG> dont worry im not
[03:26] <Pelo> tsukasa,  the menus are square, sorry i thoguth you meant the toolbar icons,  did you play with your system fonts ?  what language did you set  ubuntu to use ?
[03:26] <gunspoja> Fr33sc4p3Guest, you can use winamp to manage an ipod
[03:26] <achilles> yeah darkcrab i reinstalled OS on it almost 4 times
[03:26] <acee1235> any suggestions for AV/firewall for ubuntu?
[03:26] <shad0w1e> for basic desktop use, I'd lean towards 32-bit, especially if you aren't too experienced with Linux
[03:26] <tsukasa> Pelo: i set it to use english but apparently openoffice didnt get the note
[03:26] <achilles> gunspoja: where can i get raw video to try out
[03:26] <gunspoja> Fr33sc4p3Guest, there's also about ten thousand other ipod tools around
[03:27] <arooni_> advice on resizing my laptops hard drive.  i was thinking of doing:  10GB for /, 81.97 gb for /home, and 2 GB for swap ...... does this make sense?  should I do something else?
[03:27] <gunspoja> achilles, no idea, google it and you'll probably find some
[03:27] <wastrel> acee1235: av isn't strictly necessary.  firestarter is a good gui for the built-in firewall
[03:27] <achilles> this thing is really frustrating
[03:27] <skyfaller> shad0w1e: ok, makes sense... I want to run Compiz and play computer games, does that make any difference?
[03:27] <gunspoja> or "ubuntu-firewall"
[03:27] <acee1235> thanks
[03:27] <darkcrab> so my best suggestions for you achilles is to run driver diagnostics within ubuntu from command line for both your graphics and sound cards and see what comes up.
[03:27] <gunspoja> for antivirus i sometimes use avast since its good and free
[03:27] <Pelo> tsukasa,   go in synpatic,   do a search for openoffice.org,  install the proper englsh packages,  also do the same for  the gnome ones , just in case
[03:27] <InSaNiTyIG> during uninstall. i get this error: could not find dll C:\prog files\aim\aimapi.dll
[03:27] <vocx> skyfaller, if you install the 64 bit version, I encourage you to read the 64 bit subforum in ubuntuforums.org. They have tips to make programs work.
[03:27] <shad0w1e> skyfaller, not sure.. check with the guys how they run (Cedega, I assume?) on 64-bit
[03:27] <darkcrab> if you check on the vender sites, usually they have advice on how to run their diagnostics.
[03:27] <achilles> you people are my last hope after that i am switicing to that pathetic windows
[03:27] <wastrel> arooni_: that sounds just fine  i have about 6.5 gb in / at the moment
[03:28] <skyfaller> shad0w1e: well, I'm only interested in open source games of course :)
[03:28] <Pelo> later folks
[03:28] <gunspoja> skyfaller, just use the 32bit version
[03:28] <stonebear> windows isnt too pathetic imo
[03:28] <darkcrab> achilles, more than likely if its a hardware issue and you switch to windows, it wont get any better.
[03:28] <achilles> gunspoja: what should i do
[03:28] <gunspoja> skyfaller, 64bit isn't worth it at the moment, in my opinion
[03:29] <shad0w1e> I think they're answering well... 64 may actually work in your situation but don't even think you'd benefit much
[03:29] <achilles> it cannot be a hardware issue as i eliminated that possibility buy buying a new CPU all together
[03:29] <gunspoja> achilles, I told you.  get some raw video that uses no codecs and try to play that.  if it doesn't work then you know its not a codec problem, if it does work then it probably is
[03:29] <wo0f> i have a raid0 array and want to dual boot with ubuntu, but the installer doesnt detect my array! only the individual drives
[03:29] <gunspoja> achilles, there is more hardware in your computer than just the cpu, so thats not necessarily true
[03:29] <achilles> ok wait gunspoja i just google it
[03:29] <darkcrab> just because you buy a new CPU doesnt mean that your Graphics card, sound card, ram chips, motherboard, etc. are not going bad.
[03:29] <gunspoja> yes
[03:29] <shad0w1e> matthew_, any luck?
[03:29] <gunspoja> skyfaller, why do you want to install 64bit?
[03:29] <jacob> what does "ndiswrapper -m" does?
[03:30] <airstrike_> how do i draw a god damn square on gimp?
[03:30] <achilles> lol gunspoja google gets me WWE videos
[03:30] <shad0w1e> because 64 bits > 32 bits!
[03:30] <gunspoja> heheh
[03:30] <skyfaller> gunspoja: I'm not really sure, I guess I want Compiz and computer games to run faster :)
[03:30] <vocx> gunspoja, darkcrab I think achilles is referring to "CPU" as the whole computer, not just the processor... but that is my guess.
[03:30] <tsukasa> Pelo: its already installed
[03:30] <gunspoja> skyfaller, they won't by much
[03:30] <stonebear> airstrike: use the box select> fill> contract> delete
[03:30] <frankg> is it 6.10 with LTS?
[03:30] <darkcrab> ahhhh
[03:30] <wo0f> i have a raid0 array and want to dual boot with ubuntu, but the installer doesnt detect my array! only the individual drives
[03:30] <airstrike_> you dont need 64 for compiz
[03:30] <gunspoja> vocx, that never occured to me
[03:30] <darkcrab> well, if you bought a completely new computer then that would be a different issue all together.
[03:30] <gunspoja> you don't need 64 for ANYTHING except for having a ridiculous amount of ram
[03:30] <wastrel> frankg: 6.04 is LTS iirc
[03:31] <shad0w1e> the real benefit on 64 bit is on encoding and other CPU intensive stuff (but only for apps rewritten in 64 bit)
[03:31] <gunspoja> achilles, did you buy a whole new computer?
[03:31] <darkcrab> and everything I have said is rather pointless.
[03:31] <stonebear> hah
[03:31] <bluestreak_> I am back with DVD / CD Rom problem with my D620
[03:31] <skyfaller> gunspoja: ooh, tell me more about that... I'm thinking of getting 4 gigs of ram, I currently only have 2 gigs
[03:31] <bluestreak_> I can read DVDs but can not read CD
[03:31] <bluestreak_> its SATA DVD Drive
[03:31] <shad0w1e> yeah, and since the RAM limit is a lot higher on Linux than it is on Windows for 32-bit (i think 8gb on Linux), most likely all your ram will be recognized on 32bit
[03:31] <jacob> can somebody please explain to me what "ndiswrapper -m" does?
[03:31] <gunspoja> skyfaller, you will NOT need 4gb of ram unless you are planning on doing some extremely hardcore stuff
[03:31] <bluestreak_> I could get it fixed with loading libata and recreate
[03:31] <gunspoja> skyfaller, and games + compix is definitely not hardcore
[03:32] <gunspoja> *compiz
[03:32] <achilles> gunspoja: i cant find any help mw
[03:32] <gunspoja> jacob: man ndiswrapper
[03:32] <achilles> me
[03:32] <wastrel> jacob: i don't have ndiswrapper installed, but maybe try  man ndiswrapper  and search for -m  ( /-m<enter> ,  n to move oto next match)
[03:32] <achilles> gunspoja: yes i did by a whoel new cpu
[03:32] <skyfaller> gunspoja: hm, you probably have a point :)  I am also interested in video encoding etc., but some @$$hole stole my camcorder so I don't really need video editing right now >.<
[03:32] <gunspoja> achilles, do you know what a cpu actually IS?
[03:32] <achilles> of course except keyborad mouse and monitor
[03:32] <wo0f> i have a raid0 array and want to dual boot with ubuntu, but the installer doesnt detect my array! only the individual drives
[03:32] <gunspoja> achilles, it is not a box with stuff in it, it is a tiny little chip that goes into the motherboard
[03:32] <darkcrab> LMFAO.
[03:33] <gunspoja> achilles, so what you meant to say is "I bought a new computer"
[03:33] <darkcrab> ok, nvm my whole conversation.
[03:33] <achilles> new mainboard processor power supply and RAM and hard disk
[03:33] <stonebear> hehe
[03:33] <gunspoja> yes, that's more like it
[03:33] <dezordia> anybody has a Eric4 .deb for kubuntu ? or a URL for source.lists to install it ?
[03:33] <skyfaller> shad0w1e: what is the RAM limit for 32-bit on Ubuntu?
[03:33] <gunspoja> wow, thats an awful way to try and fix a problem achilles
[03:33] <shad0w1e> guys, I don't know, what is it?
[03:33] <vocx> skyfaller, as gunspoja says, 64 bit benefits are only seen by those scientist doing heavy 3D modeling and research.And they don't use Compiz and play games. And they have more than 4 GB, I don't know, maybe 60 or more GB.
[03:33] <user_> Has anyone here ever used gcc with pkg-config?
[03:33] <gunspoja> skyfaller, far more than you are going to be able to put into a box any time soon
[03:33] <stonebear> buying new computer for linux = insanity
[03:34] <achilles> yeah coz i ahve a 9 year old machine so looking to upgarde it
[03:34] <achilles> and it worked as an excuse
[03:34] <achilles> :(
[03:34] <darkcrab> yea, actually I read something that ubuntu has a problem with the new Core 2 duos and needs to be patched.
[03:34] <stonebear> I usually wait till their about 5 years old until i introduce it to linux. 8)
[03:34] <gunspoja> achilles, oh ok
[03:34] <skyfaller> OK, so 64-bit is not interesting to the normal consumer is what I'm hearing
[03:34] <tyler_> hey what's that trick to stop firefox from loading buttons and themes?
[03:34] <DreadKnight> can someone who knows how to compile help me with something? ;)
[03:34] <gunspoja> darkcrab, I have a core 2 duo and have had no cpu-related problems
[03:34] <achilles> yeah i ahve core2 duo
[03:34] <gunspoja> skyfaller, the cons outweigh the pros
[03:34] <InSaNiTyIG> gunspoja: all the files are in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/AIM
[03:34] <jacob> wastrel "ndiswrapper -m" says "writes an alias for wlan0 (default wireless device) into module configuration file so that ndiswrapper kernel module is loaded automatically when this interface is used."
[03:34] <user_> Has anyone here ever used gcc with pkg-config?
[03:34] <achilles> see the OS is working fine
[03:34] <shad0w1e> skyfaller, netiher is Linux in general, but heh, yes, that is correct
[03:34] <InSaNiTyIG> so i dont know why its erroring out
[03:34] <dezordia> anybody has a ideia?
[03:35] <darkcrab> eh, it was some article, maybe they were wrong.
[03:35] <achilles> only prob is i cant play video and mp3
[03:35] <BlindeApe> Autosave state is disabled but anything in my previous session still loads, how can I fix this?
[03:35] <gunspoja> skyfaller, some 3rd-party 32bit software won't work on 64bit either
[03:35] <vocx> skyfaller, if you read the 64-bit forums you'll see they support it, but obviously not all programs are available yet.
[03:35] <jacob> wastrel, you think  you can try to explain that to me, i'm basicall new in linux
[03:35] <bluestreak_> Hey guys can some one help me with d620 dvd problem?
[03:35] <bluestreak_> please :D
[03:35] <verb3k_>  /msg nickserv identify 5557600
[03:35] <skyfaller> alright, 32 bits it is!  thanks for your input folks :)  now I'll go wrestle with my Macbook Pro
